Question

【題目】翻譯下列兩段短文：（要求字跡工整，總字數(shù)不少于150）

【1】 當被問及賈斯廷被外星人綁架的可能性時，負責調查此案的薩姆彼得森Sam Peterson偵探告訴記者：“人們有時候編造出這類奇異的故事。事實上并沒有確鑿的證據(jù)證明是外星人劫持了他。所以，盡管我們不排除這種想法，但是我們也在調查其他的可能性。在確認到底發(fā)生了什么事之前，我們是不會放棄的。

【2】 既然我們將會每天步行大約兩周，我們需要買一個大的、結實、輕便的背包來裝我們食物和水的供給。在這一天中，我們將會穿過陸地，跟隨著大型動物的腳印，比如：大象，獅子，長頸鹿。我們將試著盡量靠近這些動物，即使它們和危險，為了我能夠拍一些真正好的照片。但是不要擔心我——我們的導游將會隨身帶槍來將動物嚇走，如果它們靠的太近。我真的很想靠近看一頭大象。科林Colin想要看長頸鹿。

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】When asked about the possibility that Justin was taken by aliens, Detective Sam Peterson, who has taken charge of the case, told the journalists, ‘Sometimes people make up such amazing stories. There’s really no hard evidence that aliens took him. So ,while we have not dismissed the idea, we are looking into other possibilities as well. We will not give up until we find out what happened.’

【2】Since we’ll be walking for almost two weeks, I’ll need to buy a large backpack in advance to carry my supplies of food and water. During the day, we’ll walk across the land, following the tracks of wildlife such as elephants, lions and giraffes. We’ll try to get as close as possible to the animals, even though they’re dangerous, so that we can take some really good photographs. But don’t worry about me. Our guides will have guns with them for defence― they can use the guns to scare the animals away if they come too near. I really want to see an elephant up close, and Colin wants to see a giraffe.

【解析】

注意翻譯“負責調查此案的薩姆彼得森”時可以適當?shù)膽�用定語從句，“負責”用take a charge of，“編造”可以用make up。除此之外還需要注意時態(tài)，前面用現(xiàn)在完成時，后半部分用將來時，同時也要注意句子的順序等。

注意事項：本篇翻譯短文需要注意的事項很多，注意形容詞“大的，結實，輕便的”的使用，舉例子用such as，“為了”用so that。還要注意人稱代詞和時態(tài)的使用，還需要注意詞匯的拼寫和語法的應用。
