英译汉1. The World's Heaviest Drinking Countries1 People in the UK are among the most prolific drinkers in the world, according to a report released by the World Health Organization (WHO). Britons over the age of 15 on average drink 11.6 litres of pure alcohol a year, according to the "Global status report on alcohol and health 2014". The report provides country profiles for alcohol consumption in the 194 WHO member states, looking at the resulting impact on public health and policy responses. And it reveals that the harmful use of alcohol causes 3.3 million deaths a year worldwide.2 Europe is the region with the highest consumption of alcohol per person, making up the entire top 10. Belarus takes the top spot, with people on average drinking 17.5 litres of pure alcohol a year, followed by the Republic of Moldova where the figure is 16. 8 litres. Australia and Canada also have high levels of alcohol consumption, with people on average drinking 12.2 and 10.2 litres a year respectively. In the United States the figure is marginally lower at 9.2 litres. But in northern Africa and the Middle East, the average figure is less than 2.5 litres of alcohol per person, with many countries having figures below one litre. The average figure globally is 6.2 litres of pure alcohol per person per year. But as less than half the world population (38.3 per cent) actually drinks alcohol, this means that those who do drink consume on average 17 litres of pure alcohol annually, the report said. The WHO warned that alcohol consumption increases the risk of developing more than 200 diseases, including liver cirrhosis and some cancers. Dr. Oleg Chestnov, WHO assistant director-general for non-communicable diseases and mental health3, said: "More needs to be done to protect populations from the negative health consequences of alcohol consumption.4 "The report clearly shows that there is no room for complacency when it comes to reducing the harmful use of alcohol." The report also points out that a higher percentage of deaths among men than among women are from alcohol-related causes—7.6 percent of men's deaths and four per cent of women's deaths—though there is evidence that women may be more vulnerable to some alcohol-related health conditions compared to men. Dr. Shekhar Saxena, director for mental health and substance abuse at WHO, said. "We found that worldwide about 16 per cent of drinkers engage in heavy episodic drinking—often referred to as ' binge-drinking'—which is the most harmful to health. "Lower-income groups are more affected by the social and health consequences of alcohol. They often lack quality health care and are less protected by functional family or community networks. 5" The report also highlights the need for action by countries including national leadership to develop policies to reduce harmful use of alcohol, national awareness-raising activities and health services to deliver prevention and treatment services6, in particular increasing prevention, treatment and care for patients and their families, and supporting initiatives7 for screening and brief interventions. The figures represent the average amount of pure alcohol consumed per capita in each country between 2008 and 2010.

英译汉1. Biotech Crops Biotech crops bring higher yields with solid environmental benefits: less use of energy, better soil conservation, less fertilizer employed and therefore less polluting runoff into groundwater. But the voices opposed are also loud. Prof. Bruce Chassy, an American expert in the field, was recently in Beijing for an international conference; our journalist took the opportunity to interview him on the subject. Q: The people who denounce biotechnological crops say they are worried about the possibility of the alien genes in genetically modified crops spreading to other species. For example, suppose herbicide-tolerant cotton transmits its genes to weeds—then the weeds could become "superweeds". Do you think this concern is justified? A: Before a new biotech crop can be grown in the USA, it must be approved by the US Department of Agriculture and the Environmental Protection Agency. They require developers to provide evidence that there will be no unexpected or damaging environmental consequences if the crop is planted. The questions require an examination of the potential for gene flow and any consequences that would ensue, including issues such as superweeds and the impact on a variety of non-target species such as birds, butterflies, earthworms and frogs. Resistance to the herbicides used in conventional agriculture does occur from time to time, and there is no reason to believe that biotech crops will produce any different kind of herbicide-resistant weeds than we already see in agriculture. In fact, after six years of planting herbicide-resistant crops in the US, we have not seen the emergence of herbicide-resistant weeds. Q: In the US what percentage of people support biotech crops? And do those who support biotech crops also eat biotech crops? What percentage of food on the market has genetically modified ingredients? A: US consumers have been subjected to a very effective anti-biotechnology propaganda campaign for the last few years, but according to polls over 70% support biotechnology. For example, in a recent referendum in Oregon, voters rejected a proposal to require special labels on all products containing biotech ingredients by an overwhelming 73% to 27%. That's probably because consumers know that we have an effective regulatory system. Many may also know that 70% -80% of the processed food products on supermarket shelves contain one or more ingredients derived from biotech crops. All Americans eat biotech crops unless they deliberately seek out products that are labeled otherwise. Evidence suggests that this is less than 5% of consumers.

英译汉22. The British Educational System All over the world mention of English education suggests1 a picture of the "public school",2 and it suggests in particular the names of certain very famous institutions3—Eton4, Oxford and Cambridge; but people do not always realize what place these institutions occupy in the whole educational system. Oxford and Cambridge are universities, each having about 12,000 students out of a total of over 250,000 students at all British universities. Eton is a public school, and the best known of the public schools, which, in spite of their name, are not really public at all, but independent and private secondary schools taking boys from the age of thirteen to eighteen years. The public schools in reality form a very small part of the whole system of secondary education; only about one out of forty English boys goes to a public school, and out of 1,500 goes to Eton. Apart from the so-called public schools, there is a complete system of state primary and secondary education5, which resembles in its general form the state education in most other countries. All children must, by law, receive full-time education between the ages of five and sixteen. Any child may attend, without paying fees, a school provided by the public authorities, and the great majority attend such schools. They may continue, still without paying fees, until they are eighteen. In presenting an overall picture of English education it would be reasonable to concentrate on the state system alone and refer briefly to the public schools. However, although the public schools are not important numerically, they have been England's most peculiar and characteristic contribution to educational methods, and they have an immense influence on the whole of English educational practice and on the English social structure. For a hundred years most men in leading positions in banking, insurance, high finance, some industries, the army, the church and conservative politics6 have been educated at public schools. Things are beginning to change but it will take time. Among the universities Oxford and Cambridge hold a dominant position. Of cabinet ministers who went to universities, nearly all went to one or the other of these two, and to Oxford in particular. A student who receive further full-time education after the age of eighteen, either at a university or at a teachers' training college or at some other college giving training of a special type, can usually receive a grant from the public authorities to cover his expenses, or almost all of them, unless his parents have a large income. But the number of young people who can enter universities is limited by the capacity of the universities, which is less than enough to take all the young people who have the basic qualifications for university admission. In practice, therefore, entry to the universities is competitive. But university degree courses are also available at polytechnics7, and entry to the Open University8 is less restricted.
