2018年5月CATTI三级笔译实务真题
Improved human well-being is the greatest triumph of modern era. The age of plenty has also led to an unexpected global health crisis: two billion people are either overweight or obese. Developed countries have been especially susceptible to unhealthy weight gain. However, developing countries are now facing a similar crisis. Obesity rates have peaked in high income countries but are accelerating elsewhere. The combined findings of the World Health Organisation and the World Bank showed that in 2016 Asia was home to half the world's overweight children. One quarter were in Africa.
This crisis will test the political resolve of governments that have focused on ending hunger. These governments must understand that the factors making cities convenient and productive also make their residents prone to obesity. Urbanites enjoy a variety of culinary options. International fast food chains are flourishing in developing countries. The health risks of such diets are compounded by the sedentary lifestyles of urban dwellers. People’s leisure time is also being occupied by television, movies and video games in the growing number of households.
The alarming implication of these trends is that developing countries may become sick before they get rich. That sickness may, in turn, cripple health systems. The yearly health care costs in Southeast Asia of obesity-related complications like diabetes and cardiovascular disease are already as high as US $10 billion. Such diseases are an added burden on countries already struggling to manage primary health care needs.
Policies related to taxation, urban design, education and the promotion of food systems may help control obesity at a lower cost than eventual medical treatment for an increasingly overweight population. Some governments have already experimented with direct interventions to control obesity, such as taxation on unhealthy foods and drinks. Thailand, Brunei, and Singapore have adopted soda tax . South Africa is likely to introduce a sugar tax beginning in April 2018. The city of Berkeley in California recognises that taxes alone are not enough to address obesity. Proceeds from the city’s sugar tax are used to support child nutrition and community health programmes. This underscores the importance of education.
There is also promise in many initiatives. Urban design holds significant power to reshape lifestyle patterns and public health. Improving the attractiveness of public space can draw residents out of their cars and living rooms. A recent study of urban neighbourhoods in Shanghai and Hangzhou found that residents living in walkable neighbourhoods are healthier than residents living in less walkable neighourhoods in urban China. Finally, healthier lifestyles begin in grocery store aisles.
Governments should encourage tighter connections between agricultural production systems, urban grocers and food vendors. Such initiatives can also help urban residents better understand the mechanics of food sourcing. This raises awareness about the relationship between natural foods and healthy lifestyles. Combining controls on unhealthy foods with policies that incentivise healthy eating and active lifestyles is important for developing countries from both an economic and social point of view. To quote the recent Global Nutrition Report, "Reducing obesity will boost global development."

2018年5月CATTI三级笔译参考答案
民生改善是现代时期最大的成就。但丰衣足食（富足）的时代也带来了始料之外的全球健康危机：全球20亿人体重超标或者身体肥胖。发达国家一直是肥胖的高发地（发达国家的人容易长胖，引发健康问题）。但是发展中国现在正面临着同样的危机。高收入国家肥胖率达到顶峰，但其他国家这一比例也在快速上涨。世界卫生组织和世界银行进行的联合调查发现，2016年，全球超重儿童人口中，亚洲占了一半，非洲则占了四分之一。
这场健康危机将会考验曾专注于消除饥荒的国家政府的政治决心。这些国家的政府必须要认识到让城市更加便捷、生产力提高的因素同样也会让其民众更容易体重超标。城市居民饮食选择多样，而且国际快餐连锁机构也在发展中国家快速扩张。城市居民久坐的生活方式又加剧了这种饮食习惯的健康风险。越来越多的家庭悠闲时光被电视、电影和电子游戏占据。
