英译汉1. Air Pollution and the Importance of Trees Air pollution is not a popular subject, which is why little notice has been taken of an EU judgment against the UK on the subject, but it deserves full attention: it shows how much we care about the environment and our health. London has the worst air quality of any capital city in Europe and there are 12 other areas of Britain with serious air pollution problems largely caused by vehicles. After smoking it is the biggest threat to health. Despite this, the government plans to delay introducing mandatory cuts to pollutant levels as required by the European Commission, and faces large fines as a result. I am fortunate to live in one of the few places in Britain where the air quality is so good rare lichens survive still and the light is crystal clear; whenever I visit London, within minutes my eyes become irritated and my throat sore, and I feel poisoned, which of course I am, and it is extraordinary that millions of people in Britain and most world cities are being damaged to such an extent that their life expectancy is being reduced daily. The official concern is of the impact of these pollutants on public health, but my concern extends to include the effect on the birds, insects and mammals which share our cities too. They are so small, and so suffer so much more. It seems that, in order to comply with the law, the government is considering introducing a national zone system from which the worst polluting vehicles will be banned. It will help, but could lead to the traffic being diverted to pollute the countryside instead. Why do they not consider banning polluting vehicles altogether? It would be so much easier as well as cleaner—but then business circle would be upset, and that would never do. Would it? It is refreshing to hear of a quiet but very significant report by experts which will confirm the importance of trees and forests for the maintenance of essential eco-systems, for flood management, reduction of carbon emissions, wildlife benefits and public enjoyment. The findings, to be published today, will assert, I believe, that this free but immensely valuable resource has been ignored and underestimated for too long, and that the number of forested areas in England should be increased by 50 per cent over the next few decades, as well as being held in trust for the people of Britain rather than being sold off for profit as once intended by government. It is good news. However, the money issue once again will determine the outcome of the report. It is ironic that just as there is criticism led by politicians and the media about bankers trying to make profit out of market manipulation, those same politicians are driven by an intent to use British resources to maximum financial benefit, whatever they may be, however treasured and iconic. They may pay lip service to respecting our heritage and environment, but given the choice between making money by felling timber in great quantities and investing in caring for and developing our woodlands, profit usually will be the preferred choice of action. It may not be illegal as it is in the case of the bankers' activities, but for me it is just as unethical as well as being very short-sighted. The report on England's forests deserves full attention but it will be overshadowed by business tycoons' determination to reap a greater profit. What a contrast of values we have.

英译汉12. Evening Train and the Woman I am worried about the woman. I am afraid she might hurt herself, perhaps has already hurt herself—there's no way to know which of the return dates stamped on the book of poetry was hers. The book, Denise Levertove's Evening Train, belongs to the New York City Public Library. I checked it out yesterday and can keep it for three weeks. Ever since my husband and I moved to the city several months ago, I've been homesick for my books, the hundreds of volumes stored in my brother's1 basement. I miss2 having them near me, running my hands over their spines, recalling when and where I acquired each one, and out of what need. There's no way to know for certain that the phantom library patron is a woman, but all signs point in that direction. On one page is a red smear that looks like lipstick, and between two other pages, lying like a bookmark, is a long, graying hair. The underlinings, which may or may not have been made by the woman, are in pencil—pale, tentative3 marks. I study carefully, reverently, the way an archaeologist traces a fossil's delicate imprint. The rest is dream, conjecture, the making of my story. It's a weird obsession, I know, studying other readers' leavings and guessing the lives lived beneath. Even as my reasonable mind is having its way (This makes no sense. How can you assume? The marks could have been made by anyone, for any reason, over any period of time), my other self is leaving on its journey4. I've always been a hungry reader, what one friend calls a "selfish reader". But is there any other kind? Don't we all read to answer our own needs to complete the lives we've begun, to point us toward some light? Some of the underlinings in Evening Train have been partially erased (eraser crumbles have gathered in the center seams), as if the woman reconsidered her first responses or tried to cover her tracks. The markings do not strike me as those of a defiant woman but rather of one who has not only taken her blows but feels she might deserve them. She has underlined "serviceable heart"5 in one poem; in another, "Grey-haired, I have not grown wiser." If she exists6, I would like to sit with this woman. We seem to have a lot in common. We chose the same book. We both wear red lipstick, and I thought I am not so honest (the graying in my hair is hidden beneath an auburn rinse). I am probably her age or thereabouts. And from what she has left behind on the pages of Levertov's poems, it appears that our hearts have worn down in the same places. This is the part that worries me. Though my heart has mended, for the time being at least, hers seems to be in the very act of breaking,7 A present-tense pain pulses through each marked up poem, and the further I read, the clearer it becomes what she is considering. I want to reach through the pages and lead her out.

英译汉1. Pollution and Ecocrisis The problem of pollution is also of great social concern. Continued population increase, accompanied by a rise in the level of living standards, not only threatens to exhaust American resources but pollutes the environment to such an extent that production in the thickly settled area is impossible without damaging the health of the local residents.1 Smog, once an urban annoyance, is now recognized as a health risk, and the automobile has been pinpointed as the principal culprit. Heavy industries have been blamed for river, soil, air, noise and visual pollutions.2 DDT and other chemical remedies have been doing more ecological harm than the good that they may have brought along. Several decades ago, Americans dumped raw sewage into rivers and many industrial plants are now still dumping chemical pollutants into lakes, rivers and oceans. Oceans used to be and are still being considered to be a reserve of seafood.3 Today, after the oceans have become the home of all pollutants, this use of the oceans4 is being reduced at an alarming rate. The worst pollution threat is concentrated in and near large cities.5 There the people-made pollutants increasingly surpass the ability of air and water to dilute the contaminants to safe levels. The natural ecological cycle depends on plants, which absorb some pollutants and release oxygen to the air. But near large cities, natural vegetation becomes scarce, and introduced trees, ornamental shrubs and gardens are far from adequate in absorbing motor vehicle and industrial air pollutants. Finally, some pollutants, most notably atomic waste, may continue to contaminate air, land, and water for thousands of years. Therefore, ecocrisis—ecocatastrophe or ecocide—has been for some time one of the major concerns of not only the ecoactivists and environmentalists, but of many scientists of other fields and the government authorities of many countries as well. Last but not least, there is the question of whether the people will eventually be able to solve all these problems. The American continent is a wealthy land inhabited by many able and well-educated people. There today, people have originated a life-style which is known to the world as being characteristic of a society of consumption—a life-style based on the prodigal use of material goods. They are using up many times their share of the earth's resources at a rate unparalleled in history. And I am sorry to say that this life-style of American has been copied by the people of many developed countries, leading to the greatest problem of the modem world as a whole. So I must ask: Are the Americans apt enough to cooperate with other peoples to prevent over-population, resource exhaustion, the catastrophe of pollution and the wanton waste of wealth-problems which are basic to the solution of many outstanding economic, social and political problems6? Only time will tell.7
