【正确答案】It is stated that1 reading determines how deeply and widely a nation can think2 and it has significant implications for cultural inheritance and national development. It has been pointed out by some experts that it would be catastrophic for acountry and its citizens if people in this country are merely satisfied with 'shallow reading'3. That is why many countrieswith well developed networks have attached greater importance to traditional reading4 in the high-tech trends. Recent years,lots of countries have made advocating reading and improving reading skills the focus of education reform5, in an effort toarouse 'deep reading'.

【答案解析】1．有人说：译为It is stated that...，还可译作Someone says that...。 2．阅渎决定着一个民族思维的深度和广度：译为reading determines how deeply and widely a nation can think。汉语中“思维的深度和广度”在英语中并无直接对应的说法，需转译为how deeply and widely a nation can think。考生应留意英语和汉语表达之间的差异，用地道的英语翻译出汉语的内在含义，不可以逐词硬译。 3．仅仅满足于“浅阅渎”：译为are merely satisfied with 'shallow reading'。 4．更强调传统式阅读：译为have attached greater importance to traditional reading。 5．把提倡阅读、提升阅读能力列为教育改革的重点：译为have made advocating reading and improving reading skills the focus of education reform。其中，“把……列为重点”译作have made...the focus，既符合英语的表述方式，又很好地表述了原文的含义。
