2017年翻譯考試初級筆譯資料(八)

A commonplace criticism of American culture is its excessive preoccupation with material goods and corresponding neglect of the human spirit. Americans, it is alleged, worship only "the almighty dollar. " We scramble to "keep up with the Joneses. " The love affair between Americans and their automobiles has been a continuing subject of derisive commentary by both foreign and domestic critics. Americans are said to live by a quantitative ethic. Bigger is better, whether in bombs or sedans. The classical virtues of grace, harmony, and economy of both means and ends are lost on most Americans. As a result, we are said to be swallowing up the world's supply of natural resources, which are irreplaceable. Americans constitute 6 percent of the world's population but consume over a third of the world's energy. These are now familiar complaints. Indeed, in some respects Americans may believe the "pursuit of happiness" to mean the pursuit of material things.

　　【參考譯文】

　　人們常常批評美國文化過(guò)分熱衷于物質(zhì)產(chǎn)品，卻忽略了人的精神需求。他們說(shuō)，美國人只崇拜“萬(wàn)能的美元”。美國人會(huì )在生活上競相攀比。美國人過(guò)分鐘情于汽車(chē)，長(cháng)期以來(lái)這稱(chēng)為國內外批評家的笑柄。美國人把數量作為衡量一切的標準，無(wú)論是炸彈還是轎車(chē)，總是越多越好。大多數美國人已經(jīng)失去了彬彬有禮、和睦相處、量入為出的傳統美德。因而美國人吞噬著(zhù)世界上大量不可再生的自然資源。美國人占世界人口的百分之六，卻消耗了世界上三分之一以上的能源。人們常常對此頗有怨言。的確，從某種程度上說(shuō)，美國人可能信奉追求幸福就是追求物質(zhì)享受。
