21、着一个人的免疫系统出了毛病。免疫系统是人体 内与疾病抗争的生物系统。这一系统主要是由我们通常所称的 “白血球 ”构成的。 这些白血球是体内的猎人。如果一种病毒，如普通感冒病毒，侵入人体内，白血球就会奋起迎击，杀死他们。 当白血球忙于与这些入侵者作战时，体内的免疫系统便处于 “受到攻击 ”状态。这时，如果另一种病毒或细菌也侵入体内，这第二位入侵者会更容易使身体的其他系统受到损害。 科学家已发现了引起艾滋病的病毒，叫做 HIV。这种病毒攻击并杀死白血球，使他们无法执行抵御入侵病毒的重要使命。 仅仅凭肉眼观察，我们并不能分辨出一个人是 否感染上了 HIV。这也就是 HIV能在两个人或更多的人中得以传
22、播的部分原因。因为一个健康的人感染上 HIV病毒以后，至少在最初的几年里没有任何迹象表明他她的血液里有 HIV病毒。 然而在这一时期，这个带有病毒的人却能通过性行为或输血把病毒传染给他人。 那么，我们怎样才能知道自己是否受到了 HIV的感染呢 ?答案很简单：去做一个HIV血液检验。这种简单的检验只需花你几分钟的时间。如果你对自己是否感染了HIV病毒心存疑虑，去做一个血液检查乃是救生之举。 【试题解析】 本文主要讲述了艾滋病的 有关情况，这种可怕的疾病死亡率很高，是指人体免疫系统出了问题， HIV病毒破坏了人体的免疫系统，但其潜伏期很长，要想知道是否得了艾滋病，要进行血液检查。 本文要求译者掌握
23、艾滋病问题的各个方面，其中考查译者对专门用语的掌握情况，以反映译者的基本素质；在此基础上，译者还要在相当短的时间内记录讲话的核心信息，对长难句理解并准确完整地翻译；对某些短语和单词确切理解其含义并能理解其在上下文语境中的确切用法，使全文的翻译不仅准确完整，而且符合目标语的语言习惯。 三、 “PART 3 Chinese-English Translation (40 points, 10 minutes) Interpret the following passages from Chinese into English.
