2012年碩士研究生考試各科真題解析

　　2012年考研英語(yǔ)二翻譯試題來(lái)源于《經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)人》雜志2011年5月26日?qǐng)?bào)道。

　　參考譯文：

　　When people in developing countries worry about migration, they are usually concerned at the prospect of their best and brightest departure to Silicon Valley or to hospitals and universities in the developed world. These are the kind of workers that countries like Britain, Canada and Australia try to attract by using immigration rules that privilege college graduates.

　　發(fā)展中國(guó)家的人們一提起對(duì)移民的擔(dān)憂，他們通常會(huì)擔(dān)心本國(guó)最優(yōu)秀、最聰明的人都去了發(fā)達(dá)國(guó)家的“硅谷”、醫(yī)院和大學(xué)。而正是這些勞動(dòng)者受到了英國(guó)、加拿大和澳大利亞等國(guó)的青睞，它們通過給予大學(xué)畢業(yè)生以優(yōu)先的移民政策來(lái)試圖吸引他們。

　　Lots of studies have found that well-educated people from developing countries are particularly likely to emigrate. A big survey of Indian households carried out in 2004 found that nearly 40% of emigrants had more than a high-school education, compared with around 3.3% of all Indians over the age of 25. This “brain drain” has long bothered policymakers in poor countries. They fear that it hurts their economies, depriving them of much-needed skilled workers who could have taught at their universities, worked in their hospitals and come up with clever new products for their factories to make.

　　很多調(diào)查表明，那些來(lái)自發(fā)展中國(guó)家并且受過良好教育的人們移民傾向尤為明顯。2004年，一項(xiàng)對(duì)印度家庭的大規(guī)模調(diào)查顯示，近40%的移民者受過高中以上的教育，而年齡在25歲以上的全印度人當(dāng)中，這個(gè)比例大約為3.3%。“人才外流”一直困擾著落后國(guó)家的政策制定者。他們擔(dān)心這種現(xiàn)象會(huì)損害本國(guó)的經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展，使其喪失急需的技術(shù)工人，而這些人本應(yīng)留在國(guó)內(nèi)任教、行醫(yī)，并為他們的工廠提供獨(dú)創(chuàng)的先進(jìn)產(chǎn)品。
