2017 年 5 月翻译资格考试三级英语笔译实务真题及答案

Section 1: English-Chinese Translation (50 points)

All Luciano Faggiano wanted when he purchased the seemingly unremarkable

building at 56 Via Ascanio Grandi, was to open a restaurant. The only problem

was the toilet. Sewage kept backing up. So Mr. Faggiano enlisted his two older

sons to help him dig a trench and investigate. He predicted the job would take

about a week. “We found underground corridors and other rooms, so we kept

digging,” said Mr. Faggiano, 60. His search for a sewage pipe, which began in

2000, became one family’s tale of discovery.

Lecce was once a critical crossroads in the Mediterranean. Severo Martini, a

member of the City Council, said archaeological relics turn up on a regular

basis — and can present a headache for urban planning. A project to build a

shopping mall had to be redesigned after the discovery of an ancient Roman

temple beneath the site of a planned parking lot.

One week quickly passed, as father and sons discovered a tomb of the

Messapians, who lived in the region centuries before the birth of Jesus. Soon,

the family discovered a chamber used to store grain by the ancient Romans.

If this history only later became clear, what was immediately obvious was that

finding the pipe would be a much bigger project than Mr. Faggiano had

anticipated. He did not initially tell his wife about the extent of the work.

He tied a rope around the chest of his youngest son, Davide, then 12, and

lowered him to dig in small, darkened openings. “I made sure to tell him not

to tell his mama,” he said. His wife, , soon became suspicious. “We had all

these dirty clothes, every day,” she said. “I didn’t understand what was

going on.

After watching the Faggiano men haul away debris in the back seat of the family

car, neighbors also became suspicious and notified the authorities.

Investigators arrived and shut down the excavations, warning Mr. Faggiano

against operating an unapproved archaeological work site. Mr. Faggiano

responded that he was just looking for a sewage pipe.

A year passed. Finally, Mr. Faggiano was allowed to resume his pursuit of the

sewage pipe on condition that heritage officials observed the work. An

underground treasure house emerged, as the family uncovered ancient vases,

Roman devotional bottles, an ancient ring with Christian symbols, medieval

artifacts, hidden frescoes and more. Today, the building is Museum Faggiano, an

independent archaeological museum authorized by the Lecce government.
