一、譯前自測-ECO選段(英譯漢)
建議落筆翻譯，若手頭暫無紙筆，也可先進行視譯。
No aircraft better sums up the quaint absurdity of Airbus’s originsthan the Beluga. The cargo jet, which resembles a winged whale, carries aerofoils, tails and bits of fuselage from production sites across Europe to be turned into aeroplanes in Toulouse and Hamburg. In a normal company, it would be redundant. Like the Beluga, Airbus is far from normal. Started in 1967 as a jumble of aerospace firms from Germany, France, Britain and, later, Spain, it needs the ungainly plane to make it function smoothly.

最能集中體現(xiàn)空中客車公司古老而荒謬的起源的莫過于它的貨運飛機“大白鯨”(Beluga)了。這款貨機形似一頭長著翅膀的巨鯨，負責(zé)把空客新制成的機翼、機尾及機身從歐洲各地的制造工廠運送到圖盧茲和漢堡，組裝成飛機。在一般的公司那里，這可能是多此一舉。但就和這款大白鯨一樣，空客遠非“一般公司”。它始于1967年，由德國、法國、英國加上后來西班牙的航空航天企業(yè)整合而成。它需要大白鯨這樣笨拙的飛機來保證順利運作。
