问题     Electronics(电子学) is the technology which marshals and controls electrons in materials, and today its applications seems to be boundless. The most striking application recently was the establishment of an electronic communications web around the world to make the moon landing possible. In the near future this web or a similar one will be used in a survey of the earth’s resources. (46)Satellites will not only record interesting geographical features but will be of invaluable service in reporting on outbreaks such as insect plague, plant disease, bush fire, and volcanic activity.
    Electronics is also the key to automation, where manual control of machines is replaced by electronics controls which are faster, and more accurate and reliable. (47)The automatic timing of traffic lights, the automatic mining and processing of ores(矿石) the numerical control of machine tools, the control of electrical power stations, the automatic monitoring of hospital patients’ medical conditions, and the monitoring of plant and animal growth ate all examples of the rapidly growing applications of electronics in this area.
    (48)Apart from automation, other applications which arouse public opinion include satellites used for military purposes, electronic bugging systems and computer centers to record personal data on all citizens. As well as providing the nucleus for such data centres, computers will take over more and more of the routine operations of modem life. They seem destined to be the application of electronics which will have most influence on our lives in the coming decade. (49)Perhaps more significantly in the long-range view, they will extend man’s reasoning power as tools and machines have extended his muscles in the past and the telephone, radio, and TV are extending his senses at present.
    (50)Since electronics is used in so many activities and because it touches on many other subjects, it provides possible means of con tact between engineering and the social, natural and medical sciences.

选项

答案卫星将不仅记录有趣的地理特征,而且在报告虫灾、植物病害、森林火灾、火山活动等突发事件中也将发挥不可估量的作用。

解析 本句主要采用"增译法"、"引申法"、"语序调整法"翻译。此句是含有两上并列谓语的简单句,句子主干部分是 Satellite will not only record features but will be of invaluable service…,介词in引导的状语,表示方式。be of service是一个固定词组,意为"能帮助的,有用"。be of invaluable service,outbreak,bush fire是本题的难点。采用增译法,将be of invaluable service增译为"发挥不可估量的作用"。outbreak根据上下文意思,引申译为"突发事件"。bush fire意为"森林火灾",采用"语序调整法",将它放在句末的状语里再放人句子中间来翻译。
