2017年catti三級筆譯實(shí)務(wù)模擬題（第十套）
【英譯漢】
For university graduates， it is always not so easy to find a good job. They often wonder at the large number of employers who do not respond to their applications for jobs. They say that despite enclosing return envelopes they hear nothing at all， or at best， an impersonal note ① is sent declaring that the post for which they applied has been filled.
Applicants often have the suspicion that vacancies are taken up by friends and relatives and that advertisements are only put out for show②。 Many of them are tired of writing around③ and feel that if only they could obtain an interview with the right person their application would meet with success.
【參考譯文】
對于大學(xué)畢業(yè)生來說，找到一份好工作始終不是件那么容易的事情。他們常常弄不懂為什么那么多的雇主不答復(fù)他們的求職信。他們說雖然附上了回信的信封，他們卻只字未聞，或至多收到一張不冷不熱的便條，宣布他們申請的那個職位已有人填補(bǔ)了。
求職應(yīng)聘者常常懷疑空缺是不是給朋友和親屬們占去了，懷疑廣告只不過是登一登擺擺樣子的。他們中的很多人厭倦了到處投求職信，他們覺得只要能夠碰對人，獲得一次面試的機(jī)會，他們的求職申請就會成功。
【漢譯英】
沒有一個人將小草叫“大力士”，但是它的力量之大，的確是世所罕見。這種力，是一般人看不見的生命力，只要生命存在，這種力就要顯現(xiàn)，上面的石塊，絲毫不足以阻擋，因?yàn)樗且环N“長期抗戰(zhàn)”的力，有彈性，能屈能伸的力，有韌性，不大目的不止的力。種子不落在肥土而落在瓦礫中，有生命力的種子決不會悲觀和嘆氣，因?yàn)橛辛俗枇Σ庞心ゾ�。生命開始的一瞬間就帶了斗爭來的草，才是堅韌的草，也只有這種草才可以傲然地對那些玻璃棚中養(yǎng)育著的盆花哄笑。
【參考譯文】
Though the little grass has never been said to be Herculean, the power it shows is matchless in the world. It is an invisible force of life. So long as there is life, the force will show itself. The rock above it is not heavy enough to prevent the seed from growing, because it is a force that keeps growing over a period of time, because it is an elastic force that can shrink and expand, because it is a tenacious force that will not stop growing until it is grown.The seed does not choose to fall on fertile land but in debris, instead. The seed with life is never pessimistic or sad, for it has undergone resistance and pressure. The grass that begins to fight its way out right after its birth is strong and tenacious, and only that grass has the right to smile with pride at the potted plants in glassed green houses.
