2017年大學英語四級翻譯復習沖刺題

　　task 1

　　美國的石油產業(yè)與石油政策

　　Oil was an integral part of U.S. foreign policy in the twentieth century, and its influence has shown no sign of diminishing in the twenty-first century. Oil has been and continues to be central to military power and to modern industrial society, and possession of ample domestic oil supplies and control over access to foreign oil reserves is a significant, and often overlooked, element in the power position of the United States relative to its rivals.

　　美國是世界第一大石油消費國，也是世界上已探明石油探明儲量最多的國家之一。美國的石油煉制加工行業(yè)主要集中于得克薩斯州、路易斯安納州、加利福尼亞州、伊利諾伊州、賓西法尼亞州、新澤西州、華盛頓州、俄亥俄州和印第安納州。目前美國市場上占主導地位的油公司主要是�？松梨诠尽w利浦大陸石油公司、雪佛龍德士古公司、殼牌石油公司、Frontier Oil, Marathon Oil等公司。對于國內的石油開采與生產，美國用法律形式明確了石油資源的所有權、勘探權和開采權，然后用市場競標方式確定開采權的.租讓價格。政府不直接干預私人企業(yè)的石油生產和經營，油品價格由市場供求決定。戰(zhàn)略儲備石油的采購、儲存、釋放基本上采取市場招標機制，政府運用金融衍生品工具和期貨市場來分散和回避國際石油價格激烈波動的影響，或者降低儲備成本。另外，政府還通過補貼、技術援助和融資手段支持國內能源企業(yè)參與國際競爭。

　　task 2

　　美國的槍持有和管制

　　在美國，只要你達到了法定的年齡，取得槍許可證且沒有犯罪前科，就可以合法擁有槍。美國人使用槍大致與中國人使用刀相似，美國人使用槍的.普遍性令所有中國人聽起來咂舌，美國人用槍來捍衛(wèi)自己的安全與自由，大致上槍會給人一種安全感。伴隨著槍的普遍使用情況的出現(xiàn)，美國的校園槍擊案，槍濫用引發(fā)的誤殺，搶劫等犯罪層出不窮。轟動一時的案件有日本留學生被美國人開槍誤殺，案件中的被告只被判很輕的罪，美國人也習慣了這種情況，因為這就是美國，一旦你闖入了別人領地，警告不聽后，美國人有權用槍來捍衛(wèi)自己的安全。這讓很多的日本人不滿，，差點引發(fā)兩國沖突，但是這就是美國與日本的不同，這名留學生僅僅是美國人為自由所付出的代價之一，殊不知有多少靈魂葬送在此。

　　The Second Amendment to the US Constitution says, "the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." Gun owners, led by the National Rifle Association (NRA), interpret this to mean that the government has no business telling people how many and what kind of guns they can own. Over the years, the NRA has headed off most attempts to restrict gun ownership, insisting that the freedom to own guns is the peoples' only protection against oppressive government. "Guns don't kill people," they say. "People kill people."

　　True enough, but studies have shown that a gun kept in the home for "protection" is 22 times more likely to be used on a family member than an intruder. Following several student shootings, high schools across the country have begun to install metal detectors and to search students for weapons at the door. Though the murder rate has dropped in recent years, for a while shootings were so common in some cities that newspapers didn't bother to report all of them.

　　People often buy guns because they feel afraid they might become victims of a crime. According to John Donohue of Stanford University, however, "criminals are more likely to use a gun if prospective victims are carrying guns," creating a vicious cycle. With all these guns so easily available, is it any wonder that so many people are dying?

　　On the other hand, guns are legal and widely available next door in Canada. How many people are murdered with guns in Canada annually? About a hundred.
