外刊精讀的好處：

上外高翻MTI考研真題中，翻譯基礎和翻碩英語兩門科目的很多試題都是選自外刊，尤其是一些西方傳統(tǒng)大刊，如經濟學人、紐約時報、金融時報等。

同學們平時的備考中，通過對外刊的閱讀和解析，可以幫助提高閱讀速度、積累詞匯和表達（包括縮略語）、增強語句理解力，了解中英思維差異，培養(yǎng)英語思維，掌握分析文章邏輯的能力，提高總結能力。

學習英文表達和句型，為漢譯英和作文積累地道表達、寫作素材、擴展思路，提高寫作能力。

下面是高譯老師從本周的外刊中選取的一些題材，同學們在備考中也要多多涉獵哦：

【英譯漢練習】

Most people complain of fortune, few of nature; and the kinder they think the latter has been to them, the more they murmur at what they call the injustice of the former.

Why have not I the riches, the rank, the power, of such and such, is the common expostulation with fortune; but why have not I the merit, the talents, the wit, or the beauty, of such and such others, is a reproach rarely or never made to nature.

The truth is, that nature, seldom profuse, and seldom niggardly, has distributed her gifts more equally than she is generally supposed to have done. Education and situation make the great difference. Culture improves, and occasions elicit, natural talents. I make no doubt but that there are potentially, if I may use that pedantic word, many Bacons, Locks, Newtons, Caesars, Cromwells, and Marlboroughs at the ploughtail, behind counters, and, perhaps, even among the nobility; but the soil must be cultivated, and the season favourable, for the fruit to have all its spirit and flavour.

If sometimes our common parent has been a little partial, and not kept the scales quite even; if one preponderates too much, we throw into the lighter a due counterpoise of vanity, which never fails to set all right. Hence it happens, that hardly any one man would, without reverse, and in every particular, change with any other.

Though all are thus satisfied with the dispensations of nature, how few listen to her voice! How few follow her as a guide! In vain she points out to us the plain and direct way to truth, vanity, fancy, affection, and fashion assume her shape, and wind us through fairy-ground to folly and error.

參考譯文

大多數(shù)人抱怨命運，卻少有人抱怨自然；人們越是覺得自然對他們慈愛有加，就越是暗自抱怨命運不公。

人們常常質問命運：為何我沒有那般財富、地位、權力，諸如此類；但人們卻極少或從不如此責問自然：為何我沒有那般優(yōu)點、天賦、智慧、美貌，諸如此類。

事實上，自然很少過分慷慨，也很少過分吝嗇，它對天賦的分配大體上要比人們認為的更加公平。教育和環(huán)境造成了人與人之間的巨大差異。文化完善天賦，境遇激發(fā)天賦。倘若允許我用“潛藏”這個學究味十足的詞藻，我可以毫不懷疑地說，在農田里面、在柜臺后面、甚至在貴族中間，潛藏著許多培根、洛克、牛頓、凱撒、克倫威爾和馬爾伯勒；但是，要激發(fā)出果實全部的精髓和風味，必須要有耕耘過的土壤和適宜的時節(jié)。

倘若我們共同的母親——大自然——偶爾稍有偏心，未能擺正天平；倘若天平的一頭過重，我們就會在較輕的那一頭加上一枚恰如其分的“虛榮”砝碼，讓天平永保平衡。因此，幾乎沒有人愿意毫無保留地和另一個人完完全全對換一下。

盡管所有人都對大自然的安排感到滿意，但傾聽她心聲的人卻如此之少！跟隨她指引的人是如此之少！她給我們指明了通往真理的康莊大道，卻徒勞無功，虛榮、幻想、矯情和時尚都假扮成她的模樣，將我們帶入幻境，走向愚昧和謬誤。

Indian railways：After the crash

India’s massive rail network has a decent safety record overall

【1】

IT WAS AROUND 7pm on June 2nd when a train travelling from Kolkata in West Bengal to Chennai, 1,700km down India’s east coast, smashed at full speed into a parked freight train in the state of Odisha, 250km south of Kolkata. The passenger train’s coaches were derailed and collided with the rear coaches of another train travelling in the opposite direction.

【2】

The trains were carrying around 2,000 people, many of them migrants from West Bengal off to seek work in the richer south. At least 288 were killed and more than 1,100 injured, many of them gravely.

【3】

The cause of the accident, the deadliest on India’s railways since 1999, when at least 290 people died in a train collision in West Bengal, was still unclear. An initial report pointed to a signal failure, but experts suggested that would not normally lead to such a calamity. The railways minister has hinted that equipment was tampered with and ordered a criminal probe.

【4】

Notwithstanding this disaster, rail travel is not especially dangerous in India, where some 20m people take a train every day. Of the roughly 25,000who died in train-related accidents every year before the pandemic (a number that had changed little in a decade), most were run over or fell from trains. A tiny minority died in derailments or collisions. And the number of such serious incidents is decreasing. By contrast, some 300,000 people are estimated to die on India’s roads each year.

【5】

Even so, the tragedy in Odisha is potentially embarrassing for the government of Narendra Modi, given its great emphasis on developing India’s railways and roads. This year it plans to spend the equivalent of 1.7% of GDP on them, more than four times as much as India was spending a decade ago, and around double the proportion spent by most developed countries. Mr Modi had been due to inaugurate a new high-speed Vande Bharat service the day after the disaster. Instead he visited the crash site, where he, too, promised to find the culprit: “Whoever is found guilty will be punished severely”.

【6】

Despite the railways’ reasonable safety record, the crash is likely to exacerbate claims that, in its push for new tracks and faster trains, his government is neglecting upgrades to existing tracks and equipment. Last year an audit of derailments by India’s comptroller-general found railwayofficials had not spent the budget set aside for track repairs, even though it had declined. A special fund to pay for safety improvements was not adequately replenished in any year between 2017 and 2022. Two days after the collision in Odisha, a new bridge being built over the Ganges in the northern state of Bihar collapsed for the second time in just over a year, killing nobody but casting doubt on the quality of flagship construction projects.

【7】

The government denies that it is skimping on safety. It notes that it has accelerated the elimination of dangerous level-crossings, particularly on lines where trains travel at higher speeds, and begun the roll-out of an anti-collision system on some trains. In the wake of the tragedy in Odisha, it vowed to install additional security features on signalling equipment.
