2018年翻譯資格考試中級筆譯模擬題：烏干達
漢譯英
烏干達渴望得到真正的發(fā)展，這種愿望不僅反映在小學生的笑臉上，而且還體現(xiàn)在那么多孩子在上學的現(xiàn)實中。自1997年政府開始普及小學教育以來，小學在�？�?cè)藬?shù)已從300萬增至2004年的760萬。過去沒有學校的地方，現(xiàn)已開辦了學校，不過要把教育發(fā)展到國內(nèi)最貧困的地區(qū)，還要經(jīng)過一番努力。
烏干達在發(fā)展中等教育和高等教育方面也取得了進展，甚至吸引了其他國家的許多學生前來就學。在中等教育方面，在校人數(shù)現(xiàn)已超過70萬，大多數(shù)學校是民辦的。如有學生想繼續(xù)深造，除4家公立大學外，還有12家私立大學，共7.5萬個名額。
人們認為教育是戰(zhàn)勝貧困的重要一環(huán)，努力增強體質(zhì)也是重要的一環(huán)。然而，烏干達飽受疾病的拖累，如瘧疾、艾滋病等，增強體質(zhì)絕非一日之功。在這方面，要解決問題，必須一方面靠國際援助，一方面政府要下決心，繼續(xù)撥款預防疾病，并加強宣傳公共衛(wèi)生知識。
目前政府計劃包括招聘數(shù)千名護理人員，增加藥品供應，新建200所產(chǎn)科診所。
財政部長杰拉爾德?森達烏拉說，烏干達人口的年增長率為百分之3.6，這樣高的增長率對消除貧困構(gòu)成特殊障礙。他還指出，烏干達平均每個女人生6.9孩子，這一生育率是全非洲最高的。
政府最近修訂過的《消除貧困行動計劃》將"恢復安全"列為政府當前的首要任務(wù)。這是因為它估計連年不斷的沖突已使烏干達的國內(nèi)生產(chǎn)總值每年下降3個百分點。流離失所的人們不僅是財政方面的負擔，也不能為發(fā)展經(jīng)濟出力。
修訂過的《消除貧困行動計劃》列舉的其他重大事項還包括設(shè)法不斷提高最低收入，改進教育質(zhì)量，幫助人們最好地控制家庭人口，透明而有效地使用公共資源等。這一文件值得其他貧困國家借鑒。
參考譯文
Uganda's eagerness for genuine development is reflected in its schoolchildren's smiles and in the fact that so many children are now going to school. Since 1997, when the government began to provide universal primary education, total primary enrollment had risen from 3 million to 7.6 million in 2004. Schools have opened where none existed before, although there is some way to go in reaching the poorest areas of the country.
Uganda has also made strides in secondary and higher education, to the point that it is attracting many students from other countries. At the secondary level, enrollment is above 700,000, with the private sector providing the majority if schools. For those who want to take their education further, there are 12 private universities in addition to the four publicly funded institutions, together providing 75,000 places.
Education is seen as a vital component in the fight against poverty. The battle for better health is another, although it is one that will take longer to win in a country that carries a high burden of disease, including malaria and AIDS. Here, the solutions can only arise from a combination of international support and government determination to continue spending public money on preventive care and better public health information.
Current government plants include recruiting thousands of nurses, increasing the availability of drugs and building 200 new maternity units.
Uganda's high rate of population growth, at 3.6 percent per annum, poses a special challenge in the fight against poverty, says Finance Minister Gerald Ssendaula, who points out that the fertility rate, at 6.9 children per female, is the highest in Africa.
The government's newly revised Poverty Eradication Action Plan (PEAP) puts the "restoration of security" at the top of the current government agenda. This is because it estimates that Uganda has lost 3 percent of its gross domestic product each year that the conflict has persisted. Displaced people are not only a financial burden, they are unable to the economy.
The other core challenges identified by the revised PEAP are finding ways to keep the lowest income growing, improving the quality of education, giving people more control over the size of their families and using public resources transparently and efficiently. It is a document that other poor countries could learn from.
