The Money Ran Out; Then the Villagers Stepped In

HIGUERA DE LA SERENA, Spain — It didn’t take long for Manuel García Murillo, a bricklayer who took over as mayor here last June, to realize that his town was in trouble. It was 800,000 euros, a little more than $1 million, in the red. There was no cash on hand to pay for anything — and there was work that needed to be done.

But then an amazing thing happened, he said. Just as the health department was about to close down the day care center because it didn’t have a proper kitchen, Bernardo Benítez, a construction worker, offered to put up the walls and the tiles free. Then, Maria José Carmona, an adult education teacher, stepped in to clean the place up.

And somehow, the volunteers just kept coming. Every Sunday now, the residents of this town in southwest Spain — young and old — do what needs to be done, whether it is cleaning the streets, raking the leaves, unclogging culverts or planting trees in the park.

“It was an initiative from them,” said Mr. García. “Day to day we talked to people and we told them there was no money. Of course, they could see it. The grass in between the sidewalks was up to my thigh. “

Higuera de la Serena is in many ways a microcosm of Spain’s troubles. Just as Spain’s national and regional governments are struggling with the collapse of the construction industry, overspending on huge capital projects and a pileup of unpaid bills, the same problems afflict many of its small towns.

But what has brought Higuera de la Serena a measure of fame in Spain is that the residents have stepped up where their government has failed. Mr. García says his phone rings regularly from other town officials who want to know how to do the

same thing. He is serving without pay, as are the town’s two other elected officials. They are also forgoing the cars and phones that usually come with the job.

“We lived beyond our means,” Mr. García said. “We invested in public works that weren’t sensible. We are in technical bankruptcy.” Even some money from the European Union that was supposed to be used for routine operating expenses and last until 2013 has already been spent, he said.

Higuera de la Serena, a cluster of about 900 houses surrounded by farmland, and traditionally dependent on pig farming and olives, got swept up in the giddy days of the construction boom. It built a cultural center and invested in a small nursing home. But the projects were plagued by delays and cost overruns.

The cultural center still has no bathrooms. The nursing home, a whitewashed building sits on the edge of town, still unopened. Together, they account for some $470,000 of debt owed to the bank. But the rest of the debt is mostly the unpaid bills of a town that was not keeping up with its expenses. It owes for medical supplies, for diesel fuel, for road repair, for electrical work, for musicians who played during holidays.

Higuera de la Serena is not completely without workers. It still has a half-time librarian, two half-time street cleaners, someone part-time for the sports complex, a secretary and an administrator, all of whom are paid through various financing streams apart from the town. But the town once had a work force twice the size. And when someone is ill, volunteers have to step in or the gym and sports complex —open four hours a day — must close.

《三级笔译实务》

1. 英译汉:文章来源为美国国务院网站,原文标题为:Beaverton: Oregon’s Most Diverse City

Stroll through the farmers’ market and you will hear a plethora of languages and see a rainbow of faces. Drive down Canyon Road and stop for halal meat or Filipino pork belly at adjacent markets. Along the highway, browse the aisles of a giant Asian supermarket stocking fresh napa cabbage and mizuna or fresh kimchi. Head toward downtown and you’ll see loncheras — taco trucks — on street corners and hear Spanish bandamusic. On the city’s northern edge, you can sample Indian chaat.

Welcome to Beaverton, a Portland suburb that is home to Oregon’s fastest growing immigrant population. Once a rural community, Beaverton, population 87,000, is now the sixth largest city in Oregon — with immigration rates higher than those of Portland, Oregon’s largest city.

Best known as the world headquarters for athletic shoe company Nike, Beaverton has changed dramatically over the past 40 years. Settled by immigrants from northern Europe in the 19th century, today it is a place where 80 languages from Albanian to Urdu are spoken in the public schools and about 30 percent of students speak a language besides English, according to English as a Second Language program director Wei Wei Lou.

Beaverton’s wave of new residents began arriving in the 1960s, with Koreans and Tejanos (Texans of Mexican origin), who were the first permanent Latinos. In 1960, Beaverton’s population of Latinos and Asians was less than 0.3 percent. By 2000, Beaverton had proportionately more Asian and Hispanic residents than the Portland metro area. Today, Asians comprise 10 percent and Hispanics 11 percent of Beaverton’s population.

Mayor Denny Doyle says that many in Beaverton view the immigrants who are rapidly reshaping Beaverton as a source of enrichment. “Citizens here especially in the arts and culture community think it’s fantastic that we have all these different possibilities here,” he says.

Gloria Vargas, 50, a Salvadoran immigrant, owns a popular small restaurant, Gloria’s Secret Café, in downtown Beaverton. “I love Beaverton,” she says. “I

feel like I belong here.” Her mother moved her to Los Angeles as a teenager in 1973, and she moved Oregon in 1979. She landed a coveted vendor spot in the Beaverton Farmers Market in 1999. Now in addition to running her restaurant, she has one of the most popular stalls there, selling up to 200 Salvadoran tamales — wrapped in banana leaves rather than corn husks — each Saturday. “Once they buy my food, they always come back for more,” she says.

“It’s pretty relaxed here,” says Taj Suleyman, 28, born and raised in Lebanon, and recently transplanted to Beaverton to start a job working with immigrants from many countries. Half Middle Eastern and half African, Suleyman says he was attracted to Beaverton specifically because of its diversity. He serves on a city-sponsored Diversity Task Force set up by Mayor Doyle.

Mohammed Haque, originally from Bangladesh, finds Beaverton very welcoming. His daughter, he boasts, was even elected her high school’s homecoming queen.

South Asians such as Haque have transformed Bethany, a neighborhood north of Beaverton. It is dense with immigrants from Gujarat, a state in India and primary source for the first wave of Beaverton’s South Asian immigrants.

The first wave of South Asian immigrants to Beaverton, mostly Gujaratis from India, arrived in the 1960s and 1970s, when the motel and hotel industry was booming. Many bought small hotels and originally settled in Portland, and then relocated to Beaverton for better schools and bigger yards. The second wave of South Asians arrived during the high-tech boom of the 1980s, when the software industry, and Intel and Tektronix, really took off.

Many of Beaverton’s Asians converge at Uwajimaya, a 30,000-square-foot supermarket near central Beaverton. Bernie Capell, former special events coordinator at Uwajimaya, says that many come to shop for fresh produce every day. But the biggest group of shoppers at Uwajimaya, she adds, are Caucasians.

Beaverton’s Asian population boasts a sizable number of Koreans, who began to arrive in the late 1960s and early 1970s.

According to Ted Chung, a native of Korea and Beaverton resident since 1978, three things stand out about his fellow Korean immigrants. Upon moving to Beaverton,

they join a Christian church — often Methodist or Presbyterian — as a gathering place; they push their children to excel in school; and they shun the spotlight.

Chung says he and his fellow Korean émigrés work hard as small businessmen —owning groceries, dry cleaners, laundromats, delis, and sushi shops — and are frugal so they can send their children to a leading university.

Most recently, immigrants from Central and South America, as well as refugees from Iraq and Somalia, have joined the Beaverton community.

Many Beaverton organizations help immigrants.

The Beaverton Resource Center helps all immigrants with health and literacy services. The Somali Family Education Center helps Somalis and other African refugees to get settled. And one Beaverton elementary school even came up with the idea of a “sew in”— parents of students sewing together — to welcome Somali Bantu parents and bridge major cultural differences.

Historically white churches, such as Beaverton First United Methodist Church, offer immigration ministries. And Beaverton churches of all denominations host Korean- or Spanish-language services.

Beaverton’s Mayor Doyle wants refugee and immigrant leaders to participate in the town’s decision-making. He set up a Diversity Task Force whose mission is “to build inclusive and equitable communities in the City of Beaverton.” The task force is working to create a multicultural community center for Beavertonians of all backgrounds.

The resources and warm welcome that Beaverton gives immigrants are reciprocated in the affection that many express for their new home.

Kaltun Caynan, 40, a Somali woman who came to Beaverton in 2001 fleeing civil war, is an outreach coordinator for the Somali Family Education Center. “I like it so much,” she said, cheerfully. “Nobody discriminate[s against] me, everybody smiling at me.”

参考译文:漫步走过农贸市场,你会听到各种语言,见到各式各样的面孔。沿峡谷路开下去,在邻近的各种市场,你可以买到清真食品或菲律宾五花猪肉。在高速公路两旁,逛逛巨大的亚裔超市,其中陈列着新鲜的中国大白菜和京都水菜或者新鲜的韩国泡菜。向着市区

开去,在街角会看到卖墨西哥煎玉米卷的卡车,听到西班牙风格的班达音乐。在城市的北边,你则可以品尝到印度菜。

欢迎来到波特兰市郊的比弗顿!这里有着俄勒冈州增长最快的移民群体。人口87000的比弗顿,一度是个农业区,如今成为俄勒冈第六大城市——而且移民比例高于俄勒冈州最大城市波特兰。

比弗顿最为人知的是,它是耐克运动鞋公司全球总部所在地。过去40年来这里发生了巨大变化。据英语作第二语言项目主管罗未未说,比弗顿在十九世纪的定居者是北欧移民,现在公立学校学生中讲从阿尔巴尼亚语到乌尔都语的80种语言,大约30%的学生会使用英语以外的一种语言。

比弗顿在1960年代迎来第一波新居民潮,先是韩国人和提加洛人(原籍墨西哥的德克萨斯人)——后者是第一批拉美裔永久居民。1960年,比弗顿的拉美裔和亚裔人口不到0.3%。到2000年,比弗顿的亚裔和拉美裔人口比例超过波特兰都市区。今天,亚裔占比弗顿人口的10%,拉美裔占11%。

市长丹尼·道尔说,在比弗顿的许多人看来,迅速重塑比弗顿的移民让生活变得丰富。他说:“这里的市民,特别艺术和文化圈人士,认为此地拥有种种不同的可能性,实在非常美妙。”

现年50岁的格洛丽亚·巴尔加斯是萨尔瓦多移民,在比弗顿市区拥有一家生意红火的小餐馆——格洛丽亚秘密餐馆。她说:“我爱比弗顿。我感到我属于这里。”1973年,在她十来岁时,母亲把她带到洛杉矶,她在1979年搬到比弗顿。1999年,她在比弗顿农贸市场拿到一个令人垂涎的摊位。现在除了打理餐。以外,她在那里有一个最受欢迎的小摊,每个星期六卖出多达200份萨尔瓦多玉米粉蒸肉——用香蕉叶而不是玉米皮包装。她说:“他们一旦买过我的食品,总会再回头。”

28岁的泰基·苏雷曼在黎巴嫩出生长大,近期迁到比弗顿,开始为来自许多国家的移民服务。他说:“这里的气氛很轻松。”苏雷曼有一半中东血统,一半非洲血统。他说,比弗顿的多元化对他特别有吸引力。他在道尔市长设立由市府赞助的多元特别工作组供职。

原籍孟加拉的穆罕默德·哈克,感觉比弗顿很欢迎外来者。他自豪地说,他的女儿甚至当选为所就读高中的返校节皇后。

哈克和一批南亚人则改变了比弗顿北边的贝瑟尼社区的面貌。这个区住着很多来自印度古吉拉特邦的移民,比弗顿第一波南亚移民主要来自那里。

在1960和1970年代汽车旅馆和旅馆业兴盛时期,第一波南亚移民到达比弗顿,他们主要来自印度的古吉拉特邦。许多人买下小旅馆,起初在波特兰安家,后来搬到比弗顿寻求更好的学校和更大的院子。第二波南亚移民在1980年代的高科技繁荣期到来,当时软件业和英特尔及泰克欣欣向荣。

市中心附近一家占地30000平方英尺的超市宇和岛屋成为比弗顿亚裔居民的汇聚地。曾任宇和岛屋特别活动协调人的伯尼·卡佩尔说,每天都有许多人来购买新鲜农产品。不过她说,宇和岛屋最大的购物群体是白人。

弗顿的亚裔人口当中有相当数量的韩国人,他们在1960年代后期和1970年代早期开始搬到这里。

比据1978年来比弗顿定居的韩国人特德·钟说,他这样的韩国移民有三个特点:一搬到比弗顿他们便加入基督教会——经常是卫理教会或长老教会,以此作为聚集地;他们督促孩子在学校取得优异成绩;他们行事低调。

钟说他和其他韩国移民作为小企业主辛勤工作,经营食品店、干洗店、洗衣房、熟食店和寿司店,并且为能供孩子上一流大学而生活节俭。

最近,中南美洲移民以及伊拉克和索马里难民也加入了比弗顿社群。

比弗顿有很多组织为移民提供帮助。

比弗顿资源中心帮助所有移民获得医疗和语言服务。索马里家庭教育中心帮助索马里和其他非洲难民安家落户。比弗顿的一所小学甚至提出“缝合”设想——学生的家长在一起缝衣,以此欢迎索马里班图族家长,弥合巨大的文化差异。

历史上是白人教会的比弗顿第一联合卫理会教会等教会,现在提供移民牧师服务。所有教区的比弗顿教堂提供朝鲜语或西班牙语服务。

比弗顿市长道尔希望难民和移民领袖参与本市的决策。他设立了多元特别工作组,使命是“在比弗顿市构建包容和公平的社区”。特别工作组正努力打造面向所有背景的比弗顿人的跨文化社区中心。

比弗顿为移民提供的资源和热情欢迎与众多市民对自己新家表露的感情交相辉映。

现年40岁、来自索马里的卡尔顿·凯南,在2001年逃离内战来到比弗顿,目前担任索马里家庭教育中心拓展协调员。她高兴地说:“我很喜欢这里。没有人歧视我,每个人都对我微笑。”

未来5年,中国将着力实施扩大内需特别是消费需求的战略,建立长效机制,释放消费潜力,着力促进经济增长向依靠消费、投资、出口协调拉动转变。

中国将着力实施“走出去”战略,引导各类所有制企业有序到境外投资,积极开展有利于改善当地基础设施和人民生活的项目合作。中国将着力参与全球经济治理和区域合作,推动国际经济金融体系改革,推动建立均衡、普惠、共赢的多边贸易体制,反对各种形式的保护主义,促进国际经济秩序朝着更加公正合理的方向发展。

Now, miles of reddish-brown sand surround this village in northwestern Senegal, dotted with occasional bushes and trees. Dried animal dung is scattered everywhere, but hardly any dried grass is. 维多西恩格里(Widou Thiengoly)的老人们都说,当年这里树木繁盛,林荫蔽日。而如今,这座位于塞内加尔西北部的村落四周绵延数英里都是红褐色的沙土,灌木丛和大树零星点缀其间。动物干粪在这里随处可见,但是干草却遍地难寻。 Overgrazing and climate change are the major causes of the Sahara’s advance, said Gilles Boetsch, an anthropologist who directs a team of French scientists working with Senegalese researchers in the region.“The local Peul people are herders, often nomadic. But the pressure of the herds on the land has become too great,” Mr. Boetsch said in an interview. “The vegetation can’t regenerate itself.” 吉尔?波特舍(Gilles Boetsch)是一位人类学家,现正带领一支法国科研团队与塞内加尔的研究人员在当地联合开展研究。他说过度放牧和气候变化是撒哈拉沙漠面积不断扩大的主要原因。波特舍先生在接受采访时说:“当地的颇耳(Peul)族人都是牧民,很多还是游牧民,但是过度放牧已令这片土地不堪重负,植被无法自然恢复。” Since 2008, however, Senegal has been fighting back against the encroaching desert. Each year it has planted some two million seedling trees along a 545-kilometer, or 340-mile, ribbon of land that is the country’s segment of a major pan-African regeneration project, the Great Green Wall. First proposed in 2005, the program links Senegal and 10 other Saharan states in an alliance to plant a 15 kilometer-wide, 7,100-kilometer-long green belt to fend off the desert. While many countries have still to start on their sections of the barrier, Senegal has taken the lead,

2015 年5月全国翻译专业资格(水平)考试英语三级《笔译实务》试卷 Section1 For generations, coal has been the lifeblood of this mineral-rich stretch of eastern Utah. Mining families proudly recall all the years they toiled underground. Supply companies line the town streets. Above the road that winds toward the mines, a soot-smudged miner peers out from a billboard with the slogan “Coal = Jobs.” 对这个地处犹他州东部、矿产丰富的地区而言,煤炭在过去几代人的眼里一直都是这个地区的生命线/经济命脉。每当回忆起作为矿工在地下采煤的岁月时,每个家庭都会感到无比自豪。大街的煤炭供应公司栉比鳞次/鳞次栉比。在蜿蜒通向矿区的马路上方,可见一处广告牌,上面除了有句“煤炭=工作”的口号,还有位满身烟灰的矿工正凝视着前方。 But recently, fear has settled in. The state’s oldest coal-fired power plant, tucked among the canyons near town, is set to close, a result of new, stricter federal pollution regulations. 但是最近,人们开始担忧起来。由于新的联邦污染防治法规更加严格,位于县郊(译者注:根据本文倒数第二段该地区实为卡本县,这里的town指的就是卡本县,所以此处译为县郊。)峡谷之中的犹他州历史最久的燃煤电厂即将关闭。 As energy companies tack away from coal, toward cleaner, cheaper natural gas, people here have grown increasingly afraid that their community may soon slip away. Dozens of workers at the facility here, the Carbon Power Plant, have learned that they must retire early or seek other jobs. Local trucking and equipment outfits are preparing to take business elsewhere. 由于能源公司摒弃煤炭转而发展更加清洁、更加廉价的天然气,这里的人们越来越担心他们的家园可能很快就会悄然消失/不复存在。卡本电厂(Carbon Power Plant)的几十号工人已得知,他们必须提前退休或另谋职业。当地的卡车运输和装备人员正准备到其他地方去发展业务。“There are a lot of people worried,” said Kyle Davis, who has been employed at the plant since he was 18. Mr. Davis, 56, worked his way up from sweeping floors to managing operations at the plant, w hose furnaces have been burning since 1954. “I would have liked to be here for another five years,” he said. “I’m too young to retire.” 凯尔·戴维斯(Kyle Davis)自18岁起就一直在这家电厂工作,他说:“许多人现在都忧心忡忡。”该公司自1954年成立以来,运转至今,从未间断。现年56岁的戴维斯先生在该公司从清扫工人一路做到负责公司运营的高管职位。他说道:“我本想在公司再干五年的,毕竟现在退休还太年轻。” But Rocky Mountain Power, the utility that operates the plant, has determined that it would be too expensive to retrofit the aging plant to meet new federal standards on mercury emissions. The plant is scheduled to be shut by Ap ril 2015.“We had been working for the better part of three years, testing compliance strategies,” said David Eskelsen, a spokesman for the utility. “None of the ones we investigated really would produce the results that would meet the requirements.” 但是目前负责运营卡本电厂的落基山电力公司(Rocky Mountain Power)已决定,如果为了达到有关汞排放量的新联邦标准而对该电厂的老旧设备进行翻新改造,代价过高,并不可行。该电

2015年五月英语三级笔译笔译实务真题

Section 1: English-Chinese Translation (50 points) For generations, coal has been the lifeblood of this mineral-rich stretch of eastern Utah. Mining families proudly recall all the years they toiled underground. Supply companies line the town streets. Above the road that winds toward the mines, a soot-smudged miner peers out from a billboard with the slogan “Coal = Jobs.” But recently, fear has settled in. The state’s oldest coal-fired power plant, tucked among the canyons near town, is set to close, a result of new, stricter federal pollution regulations. As energy companies tack away from coal, toward cleaner, cheaper natural gas, people here have grown increasingly afraid that their community may soon slip away. Dozens of workers at the facility here, the Carbon Power Plant, have learned that they must retire early or seek other jobs. Local trucking and equipment outfits are preparing to take business elsewhere. “There are a lot of people worried,” said Kyle Davis, who has been employed at the plant since he was 18. Mr. Davis, 56, worked his way up from sweeping floors to managing operations at the plant, whose furnaces have been burning since 1954. “I would have liked to be here for another five years,” he said. “I’m too young to retire.” But Rocky Mountain Power, the utility that operates the plant, has determined that it would be too expensive to retrofit the aging plant to meet new federal standards on mercury emissions. The plant is scheduled to be shut by April 2015. “We had been working for the better part of three years, testing compliance strategies,” said David Eskelsen, a spokesman for the utility. “None of the ones we investigated really would produce the results that would meet the requirements.” For the last several years, coal plants have been shutting down across the country, driven by tougher environmental regulations, flattening electricity demand and a move by utilities toward natural gas.

2013年9月中级口译听力真题 Spot Dictation 含解析

2013年9月中级口译听力真题Spot Dictation 含解析 作者:沪江英语来源:沪江英语 2013年秋季上海中高级口译考试于今日9月15日开考,沪江英语在考后第一时间提供真题、解析、答案信息,本文为2013年9月中级口译听力真题Spot Dictation部分,由沪江网校提供。 Spot dictation Next, let's talk about earthquakes on our planet. Some countries have large numbers of earthquakes. Japan is one of them. Others do not have many. For example, there are few earthquakes in Britain. There is often a great noise during an earthquake. The ground vibrates. Houses fall down. Trains run off the lines. Sometimes, there is a heavy loss of human lives. Earthquakes often happen near volcanoes, but this is not always true. The centers of some earthquakes are under the sea. The bottom of the sea suddenly moves. The powerful forces inside the earth break the rocks. The coast is shaken and great waves appear. These waves, also known as seismic waves, or tsunamis can travel long distances and rush over the land when they reach it. They are strong enough to break down houses and other buildings. Very often fires follow the most serious earthquakes. In 1906, the great earthquake at San Francisco broke the gas pipes. The gas escaped, and soon large numbers of fires were burning in the city. The water pipes were also shaken and broken, so it was not possible to put the fires out. There was no water. The Tokyo Earthquake of 1923 happened just before noon. People were cooking meals on their fires at that time. When the ground shook, the fires shook, too. Hot materials were thrown on the different parts of the houses, some of which were made of wood. Soon 134 fires were burning in the city. What kind of building stands up best in an earthquake? A building with concrete walls is perhaps the best. A steel frame will make it even stronger.
