2007 年 5 月翻译资格考试三级英语笔译实务真题

Section 1： English-Chinese Translation (50 points)

It took nine years from the time the Danish and Swedish governments agreed to

build a fixed link between their countries to the time the first car, train,

truck and bicyclists crossed the Oresund Bridge.

Construction of the bridge, including design and cornerstone, began in March

1991 and was completed in July 2000. Today, it is the longest stone-stayed road

and rail bridge in the world. At approximately 10 miles (16 kilometers),

including the tunnel, it is an engineering and architectural marvel. But as

time has proven, the bridge is a cultural and economic boon as well. The sleek

span of concrete whose design typifies Scandinavian minimalism has contributed

greatly to the development of the Oresund region: the eastern part of Denmark,

including Copenhagen, and the southwestern part of Sweden, including Malmö and

Lund.

The level of commuting between Malmö and Copenhagen has quadrupled since the

opening of the bridge in 2000, and the number of Danes moving to the south of

Sweden has increased sixfold. The Oresund region has become a cultural and

economic powerhouse, considered a model region by the European Union.

Work on the bridge began in 1995, and was undertaken by a team of international

consulting and construction companies.

From the beginning, construction of the bridge complied with some of the

world’s toughest environmental regulations, as well as many advanced design

and construction details. The Mexico-based CEMEX, one of the world’s largest

producers of Cement and ready-mix concrete, was awarded a contract to deliver

tons of high-quality cement to help build the main part of the bridge, the two

approach bridges and the tunnel.

When it opened in July 2000, the Oresund Bridge consisted of a 3.5-kilometer

immersed tunnel, the largest of its kind in the world, a 4-kilometer long

artificial island (made from mud dug out from the bottom of strait to make

space for the tunnel) and a 7.8-kilometer cable-stayed bridge, the world’s

longest bridge including both a highway and a railroad.

Though just half of the total construction, the actual bridge span, is visible

above water, the overall architecture was designed to please the eye from both

the Danish and Swedish sides of the strait.
