2019年翻譯資格考試英語口譯中級模擬題：中國科技館

　　英譯漢

　　The first generation of museums are what might be called natural museums which, by means of fossils, specimens and other objects, introduced to people the evolutionary history of the Earth and various kinds of organisms. The second generation are those of industrial technologies which presented the fruits achieved by industrial civilization at different stages of industrialization. Despite the fact that those two generations of museums helped to disseminate / propagate / spread scientific knowledge, they nevertheless treated visitors merely as passive viewers. // The third generation of museums in the world are those replete with / full of wholly novel concepts / notions / ideas. In those museums, visitors are allowed to operate the exhibits with their own hands, to observe and to experience carefully. By getting closer to the advanced science and technologies in this way, people can probe into their secret mysteries.

　　The China Museum of Science and Technology is precisely one of such museums. It has incorporated some of the most fascinating features of those museums with international reputation. Having designed and created exhibits in mechanics, optics, electrical science, thermology, acoustics, and biology, those exhibits demonstrate scientific principles and present the most advanced scientific and technological achievements.

　　參考譯文

　　中國科技館的誕生來之不易。與國際著名科技館和其他博物館相比，它先天有些不足， 后天也常缺乏營養(yǎng)，但是它成長的步伐卻是堅實而有力的。它在國際上已被公認為后起之秀 。世界上第一代博物館屬于自然博物館，它是通過化石、標(biāo)本等向人們介紹地球和各種生 物的演化歷史。第二代屬于工業(yè)技術(shù)博物館，它所展示的是工業(yè)文明帶來的各種階段性結(jié)果 。這兩代博物館雖然起到了傳播科學(xué)知識的作用，但是，它們把參觀者當(dāng)成了被動的旁觀者 。// 世界上第三代博物館是充滿全新理念的博物館。在這里，觀眾可以自己去動手操作，自 己細心體察。這樣，他們可以更貼近先進的科學(xué)技術(shù)，去探索科學(xué)技術(shù)的奧妙。// 中國科技館正是這樣的博物館!它汲取了國際上一些著名博物館的長處，設(shè)計制作了力 學(xué)、光學(xué)、電學(xué)、熱學(xué)、聲學(xué)、生物學(xué)等展品，展示了科學(xué)的原理和先進的科技成果。
