3、 商标侵权 III. Translate the following passage into Chinese. ( 60 points ) No one can deny that in recent years the need to “save the planet” from global warming has become one of the most pervasive issues of our time. As Tony Blairs chief scientific adviser, Sir David King, claimed in 2004, it poses “a

4、 far greater threat to the world than international terrorism”, warning that by the end of this century the only habitable continent left will be Antarctica. Inevitably, many people have been bemused by this somewhat one-sided debate, imagining that if so many experts are agreed, then there must be

5、something in it. But if we set the story of how this fear was promoted in the context of other scares before it, the parallels which emerge might leave any honest believer in global warming feeling uncomfortable. The story of how the panic over climate change was pushed to the top of the internation

6、al agenda falls into five main stages. Stage one came in the 1970s when many scientists expressed alarm over what they saw as a disastrous change in the earths climate. Their fear was not of warming but global cooling, of “a new Ice Age”. For three decades, after a sharp rise in the interwar years u

7、p to 1940, global temperatures had been falling. The one thing certain about climate is that it is always changing.

9、 EU announcing every kind of measure geared to fighting climate change, from building ever more highly-subsidised wind turbines, to a commitment that by 2050 it will have reduced carbon emissions by 60 per cent. This is a pledge that could only be met by such a massive reduction in living standards.

10、IV. Translate the following passage into English. ( 60 points ) 老舍茶馆并非老舍先生或者其后人开的茶馆，也非老舍先生笔下茶馆的原型。以”老舍茶馆”命名，一来可以让人立刻联想到老舍先生的名作茶馆中描写老北京市井风情的画面，二来是因为茶与传统戏剧一样，都是中国传统文化的一部分，而且将戏曲曲艺与茶馆相结合的形式，在老北京早已有之。另外，老舍先生作为老一辈“人民艺术家”，创作了多部反映北京城市市民生活的作品，是北京文化的杰出代表。四合茶院融合了“北方庄重、南方素雅”的特点，材质上选用了大量的玻璃和木材，在保留老北京四合院正房原貌的同时，还将厢房变得错落有致、变化多端，弥补了场地的不足，也体现了传统与现代的完美结合。而院落中那萋萋草坪、轻盈低啭的小鸟、个性化的装潢则增添了小院的几分灵动。第 2 页 共 2 页
