1999年北京外国语大学高级翻译学院816英汉互译（同声传译）考研真题及详解 I. 将下列短文译成英语（35分） 今年6月克林顿访华带了一支庞大的新闻队伍，使美国的民众第一次有了一个比较客观地了解中国发展变化情况的机会，用新华社的话来说，克林顿访华的报道，才“使‘新中国’的形象首次深入到美国的千家万户。”至于美国的政治家和新闻媒体则对所接触到的中国情况大感“意外”。以上的例子说明，西方世界对中国的认识与中国的实际情况相差有多远。究其原因，主要是西方有些人习惯于用政治化，意识形态化的眼光看待人权问题，习惯把一种社会制度看成是人权的化身，而把其他社会制度和发展看作是侵犯人权的表现，因此，总是把共产党领导的中国想象成一个反人权的国家。这种思维方式，使他们无法正确认识中国人权的真实情况，看不到中国的积极变化和发展，甚至把中国促进人权的努力都误认为是侵犯人权的表现。和平，发展与人权是世界各国的共同要求，更是一个多世纪以来中国人民矢志不渝的奋斗口标，中国当前正在致力于建设富强民主文明的国家，这是一项使五分之一人类彻底摆脱贫闲，充分实现人权的跨世纪的伟大事业，也是世界和平发展和人权事业的重要组成部分。开放的中国需要吸收人类一切优秀文化成果和有益经验，也需要得到各国的最大理解和支持。 【参考译文】 This year, Clinton brought along a huge press team while visiting China in June, which gave the American citize

are used to perceive the issue of human rights from a political and ideological view. They are used to regard one social system as the embodiment of human rights while other social systems and developments as manifestatio
of violating human rights. This mode of thinking makes it impossible for them to realize the real situation of human rights in China. Positive changes and developments in China are never to be noticed. What’s more, all the efforts to promote human rights in China are misinterpreted as violatio
of human rights. Peace, development and human rights are the collective demands of all countries across the world, which is also the goal that Chinese nation have been pe
