中国与世界从未像今天这样紧密相连。中国政府把中国人民的根本利益与各国人民的共同利益结合起来，坚持奉行防御性的国防政策。中国的国防服从和服务于国家发展战略和安全战略，旨在维护国家安全统一，确保实现全面建设小康社会的宏伟目标。中国永远是维护世界和平、安全、稳定的坚定力量。

中国在经济不断发展的基础上推进国防和军队现代化，是适应世界新军事变革发展趋势、维护国家安全和发展利益的需要。中国不会与任何国家进行军备竞赛，不会对任何国家构成军事威胁。新世纪新阶段，中国把科学发展观作为国防和军队建设的重要指导方针，积极推进中国特色军事变革，努力实现国防和军队建设全面协调可持续发展。汉译英参考译文：Toupholdworldpeace,promotecommondevelopmentandseekcooperationandwin-winisthecommonwishofthepeoplearoundtheworldandanirresistibletrendofourtimes.Committedtopeace,developmentandcooperation,Chinapursuesaroadofpeacefuldevelopment,andendeavorstobuild,togetherwithothercountries,aharmoniousworldofenduringpeaceandcommonprosperity.

洲旅游协会还指出，即使是在巴厘岛炸弹袭击中伤亡最为惨重的澳大利亚人也是如此。仅在袭击后的两年内，来巴厘岛旅游的人数就反弹至自1998年以来的最高点。自杀式炸弹袭击者今年再度袭击了巴厘岛，三所饭馆发生爆炸，造成19人死亡。泰国在遭受了海啸袭击后，也吸引了更多的游客，而当时的海啸掀起了巨浪，造成5400人死亡，5000人失踪。虽然泰国旅游胜地普吉岛的海啸曾造成500多瑞典人死亡，是死亡人数最多的外国人，但是“瑞典－我的旅行”组织说，更多的瑞典人回到普吉岛旅游，总数超过去年。该组织总部设在斯德哥尔摩，每年把60万游客送往海外，占有28％的瑞典旅游市场份额。“我们深信，泰国最终重新成为旅游热点地区，但是我们没有想到，今年的反弹力度比去年还要强劲。”“瑞典－我的旅行”组织交通部主任约吉姆－埃里克森说，“本来我们以为人数会有大的下滑，所以对现在的情况感到十分吃惊。”埃里克森说，该组织预计，与去年相同的旅游季节相比，今天去泰国和斯里兰卡的游客人数均将上升5％。他说，这种情况与20世纪90年代有了显著的变化。“在第一次海湾战争期间，我们发现，旅游业总体上有显著的下滑，911之后也是如此。”埃里克森说，“现在，恐怖主义活动或灾害袭击给旅游业造成的影响无非是改变了旅游的目的地而已。”第二部分汉译英２５年来，中国坚定不移地推进改革开放，社会主义市场经济体制初步建立，开放型经济已经形成，社会生产力和综合国力不断增强，各项社会事业全面发展，人民生活总体上实现了由温饱到小康的历史性跨越。从1978年至２００３年的２５年间，中国经济年均增长９．４％。２５年前，中国年国内生产总值为１４７３亿美元，去年已达到１４０００多亿美元。２５年前，中国年进出口贸易总额为２０６亿美元，去年已达到８５１２亿美元。２５年前，中国外汇储备为１．６７亿美元，去年已达到４０３３亿美元。目前，中国经济总量居世界第六，进出口贸易总额居世界第四。中国之所以能够发生这样巨大的变化，最关键的原因是我们始终坚持走中国特色社会主义道路，始终坚持改革开放，激发了全体人民的积极性、主动性、创造性。中国虽然取得了很大的发展成就，但中国人口多，底子薄，生产力不发达，发展很不平衡，生态环境、自然资源与经济社会发展的矛盾比较突出。虽然中国人均国内生产总值已经突破１０００美元，但仍排在世界一百位以后。中国要实现现代化，使全体人民都过上富裕生活，还需要进行长期不懈的艰苦奋斗。我们已经明确了本世纪头２０年的奋斗目标，这就是全面建设惠及十几亿人口的更高水平的小康社会，到２０２０年实现国内生产总值比２０００年翻两番，达到４万亿美元，人均国内生产总值达到３０００美元，使经济更加发展、民主更加健全、科教更加进步、文化更加繁荣、社会更加和谐、人民生活更加殷实。2007年5月人事部三级笔译真题第一部分英译汉IttooknineyearsfromthetimetheDanishandSwedishgovernmentsagreedtobuildafixedlinkbetweentheircountriestothetimethefirstcar,train,truckandbicyclistscrossedtheOresundConstructionofthebridge,includingdesignandcornerstone,beganinMarch1991andwascompletedinJuly2000.Today,itisthelongeststone-stayedroadandrailbridgeintheworld.Atapproximately10miles(16kilometers),includingthetunnel,itisanengineeringandarchitecturalmarvel.Butastimehasproven,thebridgeisaculturalandeconomicboonaswell.ThesleekspanofconcretewhosedesigntypifiesScandinavianminimalismhascontributedgreatlytothedevelopmentoftheOresundregion:theeasternpartofDenmark,includingCopenhagen,andthesouthwesternpartofSweden,includingMalmöandLund.ThelevelofcommutingbetweenMalmöandCopenhagenhasquadrupledsincetheopeningofthebridgein2000,andthenumberofDanesmovingtothesouthofSwedenhasincreasedsixfold.TheOresundregionhasbecomeaculturalandeconomicpowerhouse,consideredamodelregionbytheEuropeanUnion.Workonthebridgebeganin1995,andwasundertakenbyateamofinternationalconsultingandconstructioncompanies.Fromthebeginning,constructionofthebridgecompliedwithsomeoftheworld’stoughestenvironmentalregulations,aswellasmanyadvanceddesignandconstructiondetails.TheMexico-basedCEMEX,oneoftheworld’slargestproducersofCementandready-mixconcrete,wasawardedacontracttodelivertonsofhigh-qualitycementtohelpbuildthemainpartofthebridge,thetwoapproachbridgesandthetunnel.WhenitopenedinJuly2000,theOresundBridgeconsistedofa3.5-kilometerimmersedtunnel,thelargestofitskindintheworld,a4-kilometerlongartificialisland(madefrommuddugoutfromthebottomofstraittomakespaceforthetunnel)anda7.8-kilometercable-stayedbridge,theworld’slongestbridgeincludingbothahighwayandarailroad.Thoughjusthalfofthetotalconstruction,theactualbridgespan,isvisibleabovewater,theoverallarchitecturewasdesignedtopleasetheeyefromboththeDanishandSwedishsidesofthestrait.Thefour204-meter(670feet)tallpillarscarryingthebridgehaveasimpleScandinaviandesign.Todriversandpassengerscrossingthebridge,thepillarsprovideavisual,aswellasactual,impressionofstabilityandcalm.Thetwo-levelstructureismadeofsteelandconcrete.Alongtiletwoapproachbridges,tracksarepiacedinconcretetroughsthatturnintosteeldecksonthebridge.Thebridge’supperdeckcarriescarsandtrucks,whilethelowerdeckaccommodatestherailroad.Thefourpillarsaregroundedingiantcementboxesplacedatthebottomofthestrait,about18metersbelowsealevel.Lastyear,anaverageof13,600vehiclesand17,000passengerscrossedthebridgeeveryday,andtrafficcontinuestoincreaseby10-20percenteveryyear.Throughouttheconstructionprocess,theDanishandSwedishenvironmentalagencieshavesurveyedbutfoundnochangesinthewildlife,birds,fishandvegetationsurroundingthebridge.Inaddition,thechemicalsusedinconstructionandthepercentageofwastematerialshavebeenkepttoaminimum,asrequiredbybothDanishandSwedishlaws.In2003,theOresund第二部分汉译英能源是人类社会赖以生存和发展的重要物质基础。纵观人类社会发展的历史，人类文明的每一次重大进步都伴随着能源的改进和更替。能源的开发利用极大地推进了世界经济和人类社会的发展。

过去100多年里，发达国家先后完成了工业化，消耗了地球上大量的自然资源，特别是能源资源。当前，一些发展中国家正在步入工业化阶段，能源消费增加是经济社会发展的客观必然。

中国是当今世界上最大的发展中国家，发展经济，摆脱贫困，是中国政府和中国人民在相当长一段时期内的主要任务。20世纪70年代末以来，中国作为世界上发展最快的发展中国家，经济社会发展取得了举世瞩目的辉煌成就，成功地开辟了中国特色社会主义道路，为世界的发展和繁荣作出了重大贡献。

中国是目前世界上第二位能源生产国和消费国。能源供应持续增长，为经济社会发展提供了重要的支撑。能源消费的快速增长，为世界能源市场创造了广阔的发展空间。中国已经成为世界能源市场不可或缺的重要组成部分，对维护全球能源安全，正在发挥着越来越重要的积极作用。汉译英参考答案：Energyisanessentialmaterialbasisforhumansurvivalanddevelopment.Overtheentirehistoryofmankind,eachandeverysignificantstepintheprogressofhumancivilizationhasbeenaccompaniedbyenergyinnovationsandsubstitutions.Thedevelopmentandutilizationofenergyhasenormouslyboostedthedevelopmentoftheworldeconomyandhumansociety.Overmorethan100yearsinthepast,developedcountrieshavecompletedtheirindustrialization,consuminganenormousquantityofnaturalresources,especiallyenergyresources,intheprocess.Today,somedevelopingcountriesareusheringintheirowneraofindustrialization,andanincreaseofenergyconsumptionisinevitablefortheireconomicandsocialdevelopment.Chinaisthelargestdevelopingcountryintheworld,anddevelopingitseconomyandeliminatingpovertywill,foralongtimetocome,remainthemaintasksfortheChinesegovernmentandtheChinesepeople.Sincethelate1970’s,China,asthefastestgrowingdevelopingcountry,hasscoredbrilliantachievementsinitseconomyandsocietythathaveattractedworldwideattention,successfullyblazedthetrailofsocialismwithChinesecharacteristics,andmadesignificantcontributionstoworlddevelopmentandprosperity.Chinaisnowtheworld’ssecond-largestenergyproducerandconsumer.Thesustainedgrowthofenergysupplyhasprovidedanimportantsupportforthecountry’seconomicgrowthandsocialprogress,whiletherapidexpansionofenergyconsumptionhascreatedavastscopefortheglobalenergymarket.Asanirreplaceablecomponentoftheworldenergymarket,Chinaplaysanincreasinglyimportantroleinmaintainingglobalenergysecurity.2007年11月：人事部三级笔译（CATTI）英译汉真题OneofthebiggestdecisionsAndyBlevinshasevermade,andoneofthefewhenowregrets,neverseemedlikemuchofadecisionatall.Itjustfeltlikethenaturalthingtodo.Inthesummerof1995,hewasmovingboxesofsoupcans,papertowelsanddogfoodacrossthefloorofasupermarketwarehouse,oneofthebiggestbuildingshereinsouthwestVirginia.Theheatwasbrutal.Thejobhadsoundedimpossiblewhenhearrivedfreshoffhisfirstyearofcollege,lookingtomakesomesummermoney,stillaskinnyteenagerwithsandyblondhairandanarrow,freckledface.Buthardworkdonewellwassomethingheunderstood,evenifhewasthefirstcollegeboyinhisfamily.Soonhewasmakingbonusesontopofhis$6.75anhour,moremoneythaneitherofhisparentsmade.Hisgirlfriendwasaround,andsowerehishometownbuddies.Andyactedmoreoutgoingwiththem,morerelaxed.PeopleinChilhowienoticedthat.Itwasjustabouttheperfectsummer.Sothethoughtcrossedhismind:maybeitdidnothavetoend.Maybehewouldtakeabreakfromcollegeandkeepworking.HehadbeengettingC'sandD's,andcollegeneverfeltlikehome,anyway."Ienjoyedworkinghard,gettingthejobdone,gettingapaycheck,"Mr.Blevinsrecalled."IjustknewIdidn'twanttoquit."Sohequitcollegeinstead,andwiththat,AndyBlevinsjoinedoneofthelargestandfastest-growinggroupsofyoungadultsinAmerica.Hebecameacollegedropout,thoughnongraduatemaybethemorepreciseterm.Manypeoplelikehimplantoreturntogettheirdegrees,eveniffewactuallydo.AlmostoneinthreeAmericansintheirmid-20'snowfallintothisgroup,upfromoneinfiveinthelate1960's,whentheCensusBureaubegankeepingsuchdata.Mostcomefrompoorandworking-classfamilies.Thatgaphadgrownoverrecentyears."WeneedtorecognizethatthemostseriousdomesticproblemintheUnitedStatestodayisthewideninggapbetweenthechildrenoftherichandthechildrenofthepoor,"LawrenceH.Summers,thepresidentofHarvard,saidlastyearwhenannouncingthatHarvardwouldgivefullscholarshipstoallitslowest-incomestudents."Andeducationisthemostpowerfulweaponwehavetoaddressthatproblem."AndyBlevinssaysthathetooknowstheimportanceofadegree.Tenyearsaftertradingcollegeforthewarehouse,Mr.Blevins,29,spendshisdaysatthesamesupermarketcompany.Hehasworkedhiswayuptoproducebuyer,earning$35,000ayearwithhealthbenefitsanda401(k)plan.Heisonapathtypicalforsomeonewhoattendedcollegewithoutgettingafour-yeardegree.Menintheirearly40'sinthiscategorymadeanaverageof$42,000in2000.Thosewithafour-yeardegreemade$65,000.Mr.Blevinssayshehasmanyreasonstobehappy.Heliveswithhiswife,Karla,andtheiryear-oldson,Lucas,inasmallblue-and-yellowhouseinthemiddleofastunninglypicturesqueAppalachianvalley."Lookingback,IwishIhadgottenthatdegree,"Mr.Blevinssaidinhissoft-spokenlilt."Fouryearsseemedlikeathousandyearsthen.ButIwishIwouldhavejustputinmyfouryears."Whysomanylow-incomestudentsfallfromthecollegeranksisaquestionwithoutasimpleanswer.Manyhighschoolsdoapoorjobofpreparingteenagersforcollege.Tuitionbillsscaresomestudentsfromevenapplyingandleaveotherswithyearsofdebt.ToMr.Blevins,likemanyotherstudentsoflimitedmeans,everyweekofgoingtoclassesseemedlikeanotherweekoflosingmoney."Thesystemmakesafalsepromisetostudents,"saidJohnT.CasteenIII,thepresidentoftheUniversityofVirginia,himselfthesonofaVirginiashipyardworker.2008年11月：（CATTI）三级笔译OneofNature'smostfascinatingmysteriesishowpigeonsfindtheirwayhomeovervastdistances.
