【翻譯-段落翻譯練習】
這些經(jīng)歷給人們的政府形象是最有諷刺意味的。任何一篇論述這個問題的學術(shù)論文都會說，對一個像我們這樣復雜的現(xiàn)代化社會，官僚機構(gòu)應當提供的一大優(yōu)點是在和公民打交道時表現(xiàn)出富有效率，合乎情理，公平一致和文明禮貌的辦事方法。但是，和我談過話的人并沒有感覺到這些品質(zhì)，倒是恰恰相反的情況似乎更具有代表性。各階層的人，從與稅收部門打交道的富人到與福利部門交涉的可憐的婦人，都覺得他們受到的對待是糟糕的，而不是有效的，是捉摸不定的，而不是合情合理的，是帶有歧視的，而不是公平的，而且經(jīng)常是冷漠的，而不是禮貌的。就像是買了一輛新的大轎車，不僅要它走的時候不走，而且不時會自行加速，在院子里到處亂跑。

1.B
【句意】2000年奧林匹克運動會上所有的儀式都有一種獨特的澳大利亞風味，表現(xiàn)出他們的多元文化社區(qū)。
【解析】形容詞詞義辨析題。noticeable“顯而易見的，顯著的；值得注意的”；indicative“象征的；指示的；表示……的”，indicative of“表現(xiàn)出”；conspicuous“顯著的；顯而易見的”；implicit“含蓄的；暗示的”。由關(guān)鍵詞“had a unique Australian flavor有一種獨特的澳大利亞風味”的對應知“表現(xiàn)出”符合語境，故B項正確。

2.C
【句意】我擔心自己的作業(yè)做的不夠好，但老師卻讓我放心，說我的作業(yè)會是令人滿意的。
【解析】動詞詞義辨析。assure（其過去式為assured）“保證，擔保，使確信”；ensure（其過去式為ensured）“確保，使安全”；reassure（其過去式為reassured）“使……放心，使消除疑慮”；confirm（其過去式為confirmed）“確認，證實，批準”。由句子中“I was worried that my work wasn’t good enough”及“the work would be satisfactory.”的對比知“使……放心”符合，由此知C項正確。

【翻譯參考譯文】
(1) Most ironic was the image of government that was born of these experiences. (2) As any scholarly treatise on the subject will tell you that the great advantage bureaucracy is supposed to offer a complex modern society like ours is efficient, rational, fair, uniform and courteous treatment for the citizens it deals with. (3) Yet not only did these qualities not come through to the people I talked with, it was their very opposites that seemed more characteristic. (4) People of all classes—the rich man dealing with the Internal Revenue Service as well as the poor woman struggling with the welfare department—felt the treatment they had received had been bad, not efficient; unpredictable, not rational; discriminatory, not fair; and all too often insensitive rather than courteous. (5) It was as if they had bought a big new car that not only did not run when they wanted it to, but periodically speeded itself up and drove all around their yards 返回小木蟲查看更多
