6、#160;推动当今社会巨大变化的动力是人类创造力的崛起。作为经济生活的一个显著特征，创造力已开始受到重视，因为各种新技术、新产业和新财富源源不断地随之而生。其结果是我们的生活和社会中充满了创造性思想。正是我们在各个领域里各种各样的发明创造构成了当今社会的精神基础。    创造力对我们当今的生活和工作方式至关重要，而且从各种意义上来说，一向如此。生活水平的显著提高-更不用说市场经济的强大竞争优势，总是源于“更好地烹饪法，而不是更多的烹制品”。也许有人认为这种说法不一定严谨。比如他会指出，从最初的工业革命到现代社会这一漫长的时期内，工业化国家生产力的提高和物质财富的积

7、累，很多都不是来自诸如蒸汽机之类的发明创造，而是来自“大量烹制”式的企业管理方法的广泛运用，如大规模的劳动力分工、资产的集中、纵向整合及规模经济等。但是其实这些方法本身就是创新。MBA英语翻译历年真题2006年参考答案 2008-01-10 10:40:53 2006年翻译Section IV Translation (20 point) Directions: in this section there is a passage in English.

8、anslation on the ANSWER SHEETThe smooth landing of shuttle (航 天 飞 机)  Discovery ended a flight that was successful in almost every respect but one: the dislodging of a big chunk of foam, like the one that doomed the Columbia. This flight was supposed to vault the shuttle fleet back into space a

9、fter a prolonged grounding for repairs. But given the repeat of the very problem that two years of retooling was supposed to resolve, the verdict is necessarily mixed.(61) Once again, the space agency has been forced to put off the flight until it can find a solution to the problem, and no one seems

10、 willing to guess how long that may take .The Discovery astronauts performed superbly during their two-week mission, and the shuttle looked better than ever in some respects. (62) Space officials were justifiably happy that so much had gone well, despite daily worries over possible risks. The flight

11、 clearly achieved its prime objectives. The astronauts transferred tons of cargo to the international space station, which has been limping along overhead with a reduced crew and limited supplies carried up on smaller Russian spacecraft. (63) They replaced a broken device, repaired another and carte

12、d away a load of rubbish that had been left on the station, showing the shuttle can bring full loads back down from space.   This was the most scrutinized shuttle flight ever, with the vehicle undergoing close inspection while still in orbit. (64) New sensing and photographic equipment to

13、look for potentially dangerous damage to the sensitive external skin proved valuable .A new back flip maneuver allowed station astronauts to photograph the shuttle's underbelly, and an extra-long robotic arm enabled astronauts see parts of the shuttle that were previously out of sight. (65).The

14、flood of images and the openness in discussing its uncertainties about potential hazards sometimes made it appear that the shuttle was about to fall apart. In the end the damage was clearly tolerable. A much-touted spacewalk to repair the shuttle's skin-the first of its kind- moved an astronaut

15、close enough to pluck out some protruding material with his hand. Preliminary evidence indicates that Discovery has far fewer nicks and gouges than shuttles on previous flights, perhaps showing that improvements to reduce the shedding of debris from the external fuel tank have had some success.参考译文：

16、 (61) 航天机构被迫再次推迟飞行，直到找到解决问题的方案。似乎没有人愿意猜测这一推迟可能会持续多长时间。(62) 航天局的官员完全有理由为此感到高兴，虽然每天都在担心可能会发生危险，但这么多的工作都进展顺利。这次飞行明显实现了它的主要目标。 (63) 他们替换了一个破损的仪器，修好了另外一个仪器，清理掉了太空站上留下的垃圾 这表明航天飞机可以满载太空上的物品，返回地球。(64) 事实表明，用新的传感和照相设备来探寻敏感的机体外壳上潜在的损伤，这是有用/有效的。(65).大量的图像和公开讨论关于它的潜在危险的不确定性，有时使人觉得航天飞机仿佛快要解体。最终，他的损伤是明显

19、t might follow trends in computer graphics to make exhibits more appealing to younger visitors.        Foresight may reveal potential threats that we can prepare to deal with before they become crises. (57) For instance, a capable corporate manager might see an alarming

20、 rise in local housing prices that could affect the availability of skilled workers in the region.        The publics changing values and priorities, as well as emerging technologies, demographic shifts, as well as emerging technologies, demographic shifts, economic con

21、straints (or opportunities), and environmental and resource concerns are all parts of the increasingly complex world system in which leaders must lead.        (58) People in government also need foresight to keep systems running smoothly, to plan budgets, and to prevent

22、 wars. Government leaders today must deal with a host of mew problems emerging rapid advances in technology.        Even at the community level, foresight is critical: school officials, for example, need foresight to assess numbers of students to accommodate, numbers of

23、 teachers to hire, new educational technologies to deploy, and new skills for students (and their teachers) to develop.        (59) many of the best-known techniques for foresight were developed by government planers, especially in the military, “thinking about the unth

24、inkable”. Pioneering futurists at the RAND corporation (the first “think tank”) began seriously considering what new technologies might emerge in the future and how these might affect U.S security. These pioneering futurists at RAND, along with others elsewhere, refined a variety of new ways for thi

25、nking about the future. (60) The futurists recognized that the future world is continuous with the present world, so we can learn a great deal about what about what may happen in the future by looking systematically at what is happening now.  (56) 具有远见的艺术博物馆馆长可能会紧跟/顺应电脑图形图像的流行趋势，使展品对较年轻的参观

26、者更具吸引力。(57) 例如，能干的公司经理可能会注意到当地房价惊人暴涨，这可能会影响在该地区雇佣熟练工人。(58) 政府工作人员同样也需要远见来保持各个部门的平稳运转、制定预算、和防止战争的爆发。(59) 以往的许多最著名的超前的/前卫的技术是由政府的规划者/决策者研发出来的，尤其是在军事技术方面：“思考不可思议的事。”(60)未来学家意识到，未来世界是现今世界的延续，因此通过有系统地观察现在正在发生的事，我们能了解到很多未来可能发生的事。MBA英语翻译历年真题2004年参考答案 2008-01-10 10:37:17  2004年翻译Section  V  T

52、limitations in measuring intelligence by a linearscale ranging from dull to bright, since individuals differ greatly in their genotypes .Any number of gene combination may predispose an individual to musical genius, or to painting ,or to designing computer programs, etc. The possession of any one of

53、 these abilities may or may not be associated with another. Moreover, the same genotype may be expressed in markedly different ways in markedly different environments.(73)For example, intelligence quotient test scores vary considerably with illness and disease, educational, social and economic level
