【翻译-段落翻译练习】
这些经历给人们的政府形象是最有讽刺意味的。任何一篇论述这个问题的学术论文都会说，对一个像我们这样复杂的现代化社会，官僚机构应当提供的一大优点是在和公民打交道时表现出富有效率，合乎情理，公平一致和文明礼貌的办事方法。但是，和我谈过话的人并没有感觉到这些品质，倒是恰恰相反的情况似乎更具有代表性。各阶层的人，从与税收部门打交道的富人到与福利部门交涉的可怜的妇人，都觉得他们受到的对待是糟糕的，而不是有效的，是捉摸不定的，而不是合情合理的，是带有歧视的，而不是公平的，而且经常是冷漠的，而不是礼貌的。就像是买了一辆新的大轿车，不仅要它走的时候不走，而且不时会自行加速，在院子里到处乱跑。

华 慧 考博英语每日一练（10.11）参考答案

1.B
【句意】2000年奥林匹克运动会上所有的仪式都有一种独特的澳大利亚风味，表现出他们的多元文化社区。
【解析】形容词词义辨析题。noticeable“显而易见的，显著的；值得注意的”；indicative“象征的；指示的；表示……的”，indicative of“表现出”；conspicuous“显著的；显而易见的”；implicit“含蓄的；暗示的”。由关键词“had a unique Australian flavor有一种独特的澳大利亚风味”的对应知“表现出”符合语境，故B项正确。

2.C
【句意】我担心自己的作业做的不够好，但老师却让我放心，说我的作业会是令人满意的。
【解析】动词词义辨析。assure（其过去式为assured）“保证，担保，使确信”；ensure（其过去式为ensured）“确保，使安全”；reassure（其过去式为reassured）“使……放心，使消除疑虑”；confirm（其过去式为confirmed）“确认，证实，批准”。由句子中“I was worried that my work wasn’t good enough”及“the work would be satisfactory.”的对比知“使……放心”符合，由此知C项正确。

【翻译参考译文】
(1) Most ironic was the image of government that was born of these experiences. (2) As any scholarly treatise on the subject will tell you that the great advantage bureaucracy is supposed to offer a complex modern society like ours is efficient, rational, fair, uniform and courteous treatment for the citizens it deals with. (3) Yet not only did these qualities not come through to the people I talked with, it was their very opposites that seemed more characteristic. (4) People of all classes—the rich man dealing with the Internal Revenue Service as well as the poor woman struggling with the welfare department—felt the treatment they had received had been bad, not efficient; unpredictable, not rational; discriminatory, not fair; and all too often insensitive rather than courteous. (5) It was as if they had bought a big new car that not only did not run when they wanted it to, but periodically speeded itself up and drove all around their yards 返回小木虫查看更多
