2009 年 11 月翻译资格考试三级英语笔译实务真题

Section1：英译汉（50 分）

Plans are well under way for a year of celebrations to mark the upcoming

bicentennial of one of Poland's favorite native sons-Frédéric, Chopin.   

The prestigious International Chopin Competition for pianists will mark its

16th edition in October 2010. Held every five years, the competition draws

scores of young musicians from all over the world. In addition, Warsaw's Chopin

Museum, with the world's largest collection of Chopin documents and other

artifacts, will undergo a total redesign, modernization and expansion.   

A lavishly illustrated new guidebook called "Chopin's Poland" was already

published this year. It leads visitors to dozens of sites in Warsaw and

elsewhere around the country where the composer lived, ate, studied, performed,

visited or even partied.   

"Actually, Chopin doesn't need to be promoted, but we hope that Poland and

Polish culture can be promoted through Chopin," said Monika Strugala, who is

coordinating the Chopin 2010 program under the aegis of the Fryderyk

ChopinInstitute, a body set up by the Sejm in 2001 to promote and protect

Chopin's work and image.   

"We want to confirm to all that he is a very, very important Polish symbol,"

she said. Indeed, it's not much of an exaggeration to say that Chopin's music

flows through the Polish national consciousness like some sort of cultural

lifeblood. The son of a Polish mother and a French émigréfather, Chopin was

born in a manor house at Zelazowa Wola, about 50 kilometers, or 30 miles, west

of Warsaw, and moved to Warsaw as an infant.   

The manor is something of a Chopin shrine-since the 1930 s it has been a museum

and center for concerts. Like the Chopin Museum in Warsaw, it, too, is

undergoing extensive renovation as part of bicentennial preparations.   

Chopin spent his first 20 years in and around Warsaw. He was already a noted

pianist as a boy and composed concertos and other important works as a

teenager. He carried Polish soil with him when he left Warsaw on a concert tour

in 1830, just a few weeks before the outbreak of the November Uprising, an

abortive Polish revolt against Czarist Russia, which then ruled Warsaw and a

broad swath of Polish territory.   

Chopin remained in exile in France after the uprising was crushed. But so

attached was he to his native land that after his death in Paris in 1849 his

heart-on his own instructions-was brought back to Warsaw for interment. The

rest of his body is buried in the Père Lachaise cemetery in Paris.   

"For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also,"reads the Biblical

inscription on a plaque where his heart is kept today, preserved in an urn and

concealed in a pillar of the Holy Cross Church in central Warsaw.

Mozart's"Requiem" will be performed here as part of Bicentennial events.  

Exile and patriotism, as well as extraordinary genius, have long made Chopin's

appeal transcend all manner of social and political divides.   
