Interpret the following passage from English into Chinese. Start interpreting at the signal and stop at the signal. You may take notes while you are listening. You will hear the passage only once. Now let’s begin.
下面你将听到一段“克拉克想象力服务社会奖”的获奖感言。
Ladies and Gentleman, Good evening! It is my great honor to receive the Clarke Award for Imagination in Service to Society. This award is a reward for imagination. Imagination is a capability that should have exclusively belonged to God but we, as human beings, luckily have this too. It is far beyond our imagination to grasp the meaning of the existence of imagination.
A historian used to say that the main reason why human beings have been able to surpass other species on earth and to build civilizations is that we are able to create something in our heads that does not exist in reality. In the future, when artificial intelligence becomes smarter than us, imagination may be the only advantage we have over AI.
Information technology is developing at an unimaginable speed. The entire world is connected via the Internet and people have gradually lost their interest in space as they find themselves increasingly comfortable in the space created by IT. Instead of an exploration of the real space, which is full of difficulties, people now just prefer to experiencing virtual space through VR. Just like someone said, "You promised me an ocean of stars, but you actually gave me Facebook. "
As a sci-fi writer, I have been striving to continue Arthur Clarke’s imagination. I believe that the boundless space is still the best direction and destination for human imagination. I have always written about the magnitude and mysteries of the universe, interstellar expeditions, and the lives and civilizations happening in distant worlds, although this may seem childish or even outdated.
Many people misunderstand sci-fi as trying to predict the future, but this is not true. It just makes a list of possibilities of what may happen in the future, like displaying a pile of cobblestones for people to see and play with. Science fiction can never tell which scenario of the future will actually become the real future. This is not its job. It is also beyond its capabilities. But one thing is certain: in the long run, for all these countless possible futures, any future without space travel is gloomy, no matter how prosperous our own planet becomes.
I now look forward to the time when space travel finally becomes the ordinary. By then, Mars and the asteroid belts will be boring places and countless people are building a home over there. Jupiter and its many satellites will be tourist attractions. The only obstacle preventing people from going there for good, will be the crazy price.
But even at that time, the universe is still unimaginably big that even our wildest imagination fails to catch its edge. And even the closest star remains out of reach. The vast ocean of stars can always carry our infinite imagination. Thank you all!
选项
答案
女士们,先生们:晚上好!很荣幸获得克拉克想象力服务社会奖。这个奖项是对想象力的奖励。想象力是人类所拥有的一种似乎只应属于神的能力,想象力存在的意义也远超出我们的想象。 有历史学家说过,人类之所以能够超越地球上的其他物种,之所以能够建立文明,主要是因为人类能够在大脑中创造出现实中不存在的东西。有一天,当人工智能超越人类的智力时,想象力也许是我们所拥有的唯一优势。 信息技术正在以超乎想象的速度发展,网络覆盖了整个世界。在信息技术所营造得越来越舒适的安乐窝中,人们对太空渐渐失去了兴趣。相对于充满艰险的真实的太空探索,人们更愿意在虚拟现实中体验虚拟的太空。这就像一句话说的:“说好的星辰大海,你却只给我脸书。” 作为科幻作家,我一直在努力延续着克拉克的想象,我相信,无垠的太空仍然是人类想象力最好的指引和归宿。我一直在描写宇宙和星际探索的宏大与神奇,描写遥远星球世界中神秘的生命和文明,哪怕有人觉得我很幼稚甚至落伍。 人们常有误解,认为科幻小说是在预测未来,其实不然。科幻小说只是列出未来的各种可能性,就好比把一堆鹅卵石展示给人们摆弄欣赏。科幻小说不可能告诉我们,哪种可能性会变成现实。这并非科幻小说的创作目的,也超出了它的能力。但是,有一点可以确定:从长远来看,虽然未来有无数种可能,没有太空航行的那个未来,再繁荣的地球也暗淡无光。 我期待终有一天,太空航行成为寻常之事,去趟火星和小行星带已是家常便饭,很多人都在那里,熙熙攘攘地生活,木星和它众多的卫星变成了旅游景区。除了昂贵的价格,什么也阻止不了人类永久定居太空。 但是(我仍然希望),即使到了那一天,宇宙依旧是一个巨大的存在,穷尽人类想象也无法窥得它的边界,哪怕是最近的恒星仍然遥不可及。让人类的想象力永远邀游在浩瀚的星空。谢谢!
