年5月CATTI一口真題詳解 英譯漢2

講演人爲荷蘭農業部長Sharon Dijksma，與上一篇相比，語言比較樸實，句式簡單，技巧上內容很少。只是作爲一句非英語講演人，稿件有些用詞和邏輯不是特別準確，翻譯時要更多考慮語篇的內容，保證理解正確。

For most of history, man has had to fight nature to survive; in this century one is beginning to realize that, in order to survive, he must protect it.　Do we dare to grow smarter today? Do we dare to fish smarter today? Are we really willing to stop the moral outcry that still almost one-billion people go to bed hungry every day? Are we really willing to stop the overexploitation of our natural resources, especially ocean fish stocks? You, we, as global leaders, ocean practitioners, businesses, scientists, NGOs, civil society and international organizations, have to find answers to these questions. We are meeting here to discuss protecting the world’s oceans, and made climate changes and overfishing. This summit is about sharing experiences, but more over demonstrating how combined action in partnerships for healthier and productive oceans can drive sustainable growth and shared prosperity while preserving our natural resources for future generations.
在歷史上絕大多數時間，人類爲了生存與自然作戰。在這個世紀，人類開始意識到，爲了生存，就必須保護大自然。我們今天能否有勇氣在種植業和漁業方面變得更有智慧?仍然有近十億人每天晚上睡覺時餓着肚子，我們是否真的願意消除這種道德上的譴責呢？我們是否真的願意停止對於自然資源的過度開發，尤其是對海洋漁業儲量的過度開發？你和我，作爲世界的領袖，海洋事業從業者，商務人士，科學家，非政府組織，民間團體和國際組織，有責任爲這些問題找到答案。我們在此開會，討論世界海洋保護問題，改變氣候以及過度捕撈問題。這一峯會旨在交流經驗，但更重要的是表達一種態度，即相互合作，共同行動，爲更加健康和產量更高的海洋而努力，這樣做可以推動可持續發展，共享繁榮，同時能夠保護自然資源，惠及世世代代。
Let’s face the facts. 80% of all life on the planet is found in the ocean. The ocean provides a global life support system that helps regulate climate and supplies half of the planet’s oxygen needed for one in every two breaths that we take. Of course food security cannot be sustained without sustainable fisheries. Fish contributes 17 percent of the animal protein consumed by the world’s population with demand expected to double in the next twenty years. Currently 3 billion people depend on fish for twenty percent of their average per capita intake of animal healthy seas and oceans are key to rising to our challenge. But three key threats to ocean health – overfishing, habitat change and pollution. Actions to solve these threats have often been unsuccessful. Moreover, they have contributed to the tensions between growth and conservation, and between private sector interests and equitable benefits for communities.
我們應該面對現實。地球上百分之八十的生物來自海洋。海洋爲全球的生物提供了支持系統，有助於調節氣候，並且提供了全球一半的氧氣，我們每呼吸兩次，就有一次的氧氣來自海洋。當然，沒有可持續發展的漁業，食品安全就無法保證。魚類爲世界人口提供了百分之十七的動物蛋白，未來二十年，這一需要有望加倍。目前有30億人平均動物蛋白攝入量的百分之二十來自魚類。因此健康的海洋是我們提高產量應對挑戰的關鍵。但海洋健康受到三點嚴重威脅：過度捕撈，生存環境改變以及污染。就解決這些問題採取的行動通常不成功。而且這些行動會導致在增長與保護，小團體利益和社會平等利益之間產生對立。
So healthy seas and oceans are key to rising to our challenge.這句話的英語表達很奇怪，只能大致進行判斷。

Fisheries and aquaculture generate considerable social and economic benefits for hundreds of millions of people around the world. These activities have the potential to increase their contribution to human well-being and growth. But these activities have also inevitable impact on biodiversity and the environment. The health of our planet itself, our health and food security depend on how we treat the blue world. We cannot keep using marine and aquatic resources as if they were endless. And we cannot keep using our oceans as a waste pool. In 1992 in Rio and in 2002 in Johannesburg we agreed on many goals for sustainable fisheries by 2015. We are not even close today. The good news is we are making progress, bad news is if we don’t step up our efforts there will be no fish left by 2030. The only way forward is bringing together stakeholders from across the public-private-civil society spheres to co-design solutions that can achieve healthy oceans at the speed and scale necessary to meet the challenges we face.
漁業和農業爲全世界幾億人創造了巨大的社會與經濟利益。農業和漁業生產有望增加對於人類福祉和增長的貢獻，但也難以避免地對生物多樣性和環境造成影響。地球的健康，人類的健康和食品安全取決於我們如何對待這片藍色的世界。我們不能繼續把海洋資源視爲無窮無盡而加以利用。我們不能把海洋當作廢物池來使用。在1992年在里約，2002年在約翰內斯堡，我們就2015年可持續漁業發展的很多目標達成一致，但到今天我們差得依然很遠。好消息是是我們正在進步，而壞消息則是如果我們不加快努力，2030年就會無魚可捕。前進的唯一方法就是將公衆、私人和社會團休利益攸關方集於一處，共同設計解決方案，以達到必要的速度和規模，維護海洋健康，迎接面對的挑戰。
How do we turn the tide? First of all we should go back to the basics. We should learn from concrete success stories where competing interests can be reconciled in partnerships that can scale up activities that ultimately result in shared prosperity. For sustainable growth in fisheries, we need to reduce the current rate of natural habitat loss and habitat degradation, increase marine protected areas, conserve and restore natural coastal habitats to increase resilience for climate change these approaches, we also need more selective fishery methods and restrictive measures that are workable and implementable for our fishermen. Fish has no boundaries. To address the threats facing our oceans, global cooperation is needed. Concrete joint actions should be more important than identifying these threats and developing a strategic roadmap for our is very well said,“If you realize you are only a violin, you can open yourself up to the world by playing your role in the concert.” With this, I invite you all to join me to save the blue ocean for the world.
我們如何逆轉局面？首先要從基礎做起。我們應該學習一些實際的成功案例，這些案例通過建立夥伴關係，調和相互衝突的利益，擴大行動規模，最終導致共同繁榮。爲了漁業可持續發展，我們需要降低目前魚羣棲息地的減少以及惡化的速度，擴大海洋保護區的面積，保護並恢復沿岸自然棲息地，以便增加其面對氣候改變的抵抗力。通過這些方法，我們也需要更多發展選擇性捕撈法以及一些限制措施，這些方法和措施要讓漁民行之有效，容易操作。魚羣不受國界的限制。爲了處理對於海洋的威脅，需要國際合作。採取具體的聯合行動要比認定這些威脅和制定我們目標的戰略路線圖更爲重要。有句話說得很好：“如果你意識到你只是一把小提琴，你就會加入到一場音樂會當中，向世界敞開自己。”借用這句話，我邀請諸位和我一起，爲了世界拯救藍色的海洋。
“If you realize you are only a violin, you can open yourself up to the world by playing your role in the concert.”這句話來自盧梭，注意翻譯時要把內容關係翻清楚。
