翻译题
By the end of the week, women in Missouri may live in a state without a single abortion clinic. While restrictive laws in states like Alabama have made headlines, Missouri shows the other side of the anti-abortion strategy: steadily shave away at abortion rights. 【T1】You don't need to outlaw the procedure outright if you can make getting a safe, legal one nearly impossible. The reason there' s only one remaining clinic in Missouri in the first place is because the state has tried to regulate abortion out of existence. A series of unnecessary rules and regulations makes it harder both for women to access abortions and for medical professionals to provide them. 【T2】Mis-souri's misogynistic laws already don't trust women to make their own decisions—they mandate that any woman seeking an abortion in the state has to come to a clinic, request the procedure, and then go home and think about it for three days before it can be legally proffered. They also require that young people under the age of 18 notify both parents and get the notarized consent of at least one parent before they can terminate a pregnancy—a serious hardship for girls who live with abuse, or who don' t have a good relationship with their parents, or who don' t want to be mothers but want to keep their medical decisions private. 【T3】Physicians in Missouri who provide abortions have to have admitting privileges to a hospital within 15 minutes of a clinic, an absurd requirement for a medical procedure that is incredibly safe. Admitting privileges create an unnecessary barrier to care—clinics that aren't within 15 minutes of a hospital, for example, simply cannot exist in Missouri, which means even less service for already-underserved communities. It's rare that patients have to be admitted to hospitals after an abortion; 【T4】it' s more common that a hospital referral will come because a doctor discovers an ectopic pregnancy or another condition that requires additional treatment, for which admitting privileges make little difference. One study on admitting privileges for physicians at abortion clinics found that they made no difference for patients receiving care. But they do make it harder for doctors to offer that care. If Missouri' s last clinic closes, women will have to travel out of state to end their pregnancies. But that, too, creates significant hardships. That kind of travel costs money. It requires owning a car. Depending on how far women go, it may necessitate a hotel room. It requires taking time off of work. 【T5】It makes abortion particularly inaccessible for poor women, for women who are already raising children on their own, and for women in vulnerable situations, like abusive relationships. These laws won' t end abortion. They will just make it harder, more painful, and more expensive.
【答案解析】本句较长，但句子结构相对简单。破折号起解释说明的作用，在翻译时考生可保留破折号。破折号后的they指代Missouri’s misogynistic laws，翻译时要译出，否则会造成歧义；that引导宾语从句，seeking an abortion in the state作any woman的定语；come to与request和then go并列；before引导时间状语从句，可翻译为“在……之前，才”。
【答案解析】本句的主干为Physicians have to have…a clinic，who引导定语从句修饰主语，an absurd requirement…作前面整句话的同位语，起解释说明的作用。同位语中包含一个由that引导的定语从句，因定语从句较短，翻译时可前置。admit有“接收入院，收治”的含义。
【答案解析】本句话较长，包含多个从句，翻译前考生要仔细分析句子结构，确定句子主干。本句的主干为it’s more common that…，it为形式主语，真正的主语是a hospital referral will come。because引导原因状语从句；condition后面的。that引导定语从句，修饰another condition；which引导非限定性定语从句。
【答案解析】本句句式较整齐，for poor women，for women who…和for women in…三者并列，表示处于三种情况中的女性，翻译时可以前置。who引导定语从句；like abusive relationships中的like为介词，意为“像”，表列举，翻译时若不好处理其位置，可以放在括号内。
