Q
什么是视译？
点击空白处查看答案
视译遵循顺句驱动原则，是一种同声传译训练的有效手段。
视译要求翻译人员可以在较短准备时间下，甚至在没有任何准备的前提下就能快速的实现书面符号的转换。翻译人员必须具有快速理解文本内容的能力，同时能够做到边看边译，不受其他视觉的干扰，能够做到“一心二用”。
掌握视译技巧不仅可以有效提高阅读、翻译速度，还能加深对文章理解，做到阅读翻译两不误。
期待新的2018，
和策马（南京）一起
让我们的英语能力发生质的提升！

Recycling plastic：Worm
food
Mealworms are the new champions in the plastic-eating stakes
01
PLASTIC production has tripled over the past 25 years,
and the mess it causes has risen
commensurately.
Recycling is one option.
Another is biology,
and with that in mind researchers have been hunting for creatures that can digest plastics.
Several species of fungi and bacteria can do the job,
but only slowly.
02
Now Anja Brandon, a student at Stanford University, and her research supervisor, Craig Criddle, have found that bacteria in the guts of mealworms can breakdown polymers much more quickly.
03
Other researchers had already found that mealworms can digest a particular plastic called polystyrene.
Ms Brandon and Dr Criddle wondered whether polystyrene was uniquely palatable,
or whether the bacteria in the worms’ guts might be able to eat other sorts of plastic, too.
To check, they turned to polyethylene, which is both more common than polystyrene and very different in chemical terms.
If the worms found it nutritious as well, that would suggest their tastes might be usefully wide-ranging.
04
As they describe in Environmental Science & Technology,
the researchers divided their worms into groups.
Some were given1.8 grams of either polyethylene or polystyrene.
Some were given both.
Others had their plastic meals supplemented with wheat bran.
(Wheat bran had been found to increase the rate at which meal worms could digest polystyrene).
A control group of worms was fed only bran.
