2017年5月英语三级笔译实务试题及答案

英译中

All Luciano Faggiano wanted when he purchased the seemingly unremarkable building at 56 Via Ascanio Grandi, was to open a restaurant. The only problem was the toilet. Sewage kept backing up. So Mr. Faggiano enlisted his two older sons to help him dig a trench and investigate. He predicted the job would take about a week. “We found underground corridors and other rooms, so we kept digging,” said Mr. Faggiano, 60. His search for a sewage pipe, which began in 2000, became one family’s tale of discovery.

Lecce was once a critical crossroads in the Mediterranean. Severo Martini, a member of the City Council, said archaeological relics turn up on a regular basis — and can present a headache for urban planning. A project to build a shopping mall had to be redesigned after the discovery of an ancient Roman temple beneath the site of a planned parking lot.

One week quickly passed, as father and sons discovered a tomb of the Messapians, who lived in the region centuries before the birth of Jesus. Soon, the family discovered a chamber used to store grain by the ancient Romans.

If this history only later became clear, what was immediately obvious was that finding the pipe would be a much bigger project than Mr. Faggiano had anticipated. He did not initially tell his wife about the extent of the work. He tied a rope around the chest of his youngest son, Davide, then 12, and lowered him to dig in small, darkened openings. “I made sure to tell him not to tell his mama,” he said. His wife, Anna Maria Sanò, soon became suspicious. “We had all these dirty clothes, every day,” she said. “I didn’t understand what was going on.”

After watching the Faggiano men haul away debris in the back seat of the family car, neighbors also became suspicious and notified the authorities. Investigators arrived and shut down the excavations, warning Mr. Faggiano against operating an unapproved archaeological work site. Mr. Faggiano responded that he was just looking for a sewage pipe.

A year passed. Finally, Mr. Faggiano was allowed to resume his pursuit of the sewage pipe on condition that heritage officials observed the work. An underground treasure house emerged, as the family uncovered ancient vases, Roman devotional bottles, an ancient ring with Christian symbols, medieval artifacts, hidden frescoes and more. Today, the building is Museum Faggiano, an independent archaeological museum authorized by the Lecce government.

Mr. Faggiano is now satisfied with his museum, but he has not forgotten about the restaurant. A few years into his excavation, he finally found his sewage pipe. It was, indeed, broken. He has since bought another building and is again planning for a restaurant, assuming it does not need any renovations. “I still want it,” he said of the

restaurant. “I’m very stubborn.”

参考译文：

卢西亚诺?法贾诺（Luciano Faggiano）当初买下位于阿斯卡尼奥格兰迪街56号（56 Via Ascanio Grandi）这栋似乎不起眼的房子只是为了开家餐馆。房子只有一个问题，那就是厕所的下水道老不通。因此，法贾诺先生招来他的两个儿子帮忙挖沟，一查究竟。他预计这项工作会用一个星期完成。现年60岁的法贾诺说：“我们发现了一些地下走廊和其他一些房间，于是我们就一直挖下去。”法贾诺这项寻找下水道的工作，始于2000年，最后演变成了一个关于探索发现的家庭的传奇故事。

莱切（Lecce）曾经是地中海地区一个重要的汇集地。该城市一位市议会议员塞维洛?马尔蒂尼（Severo Martini）说在这里经常发现考古遗迹，不过这让城市规划者非常头疼。一个拟建的购物中心项目在规划的停车场下面发现一座古罗马庙宇之后不得不重新规划。

一个星期很快过去了，父子三人发现了一个麦撒比人墓。在耶稣降世前几百年前，麦撒比人就在这个地区生活了。很快，他们又发现了一个古罗马人储存粮食的房间。

如果知道这段历史，法贾诺就会立刻明白找寻管道这件事工程量之大远远超出了自己的预计。法贾诺最初没有告诉妻子会有多大工作量。他在当时12岁的小儿子戴维德（Davide）胸部系好绳索，把他放下去，在狭窄昏暗的通道中进行挖掘。他说：“我得确保不能让孩子把这件事告诉他妈。”但是他的妻子安娜?玛利亚?萨诺（Anna Maria Sanò）不久就起了疑心。“每天都有脏衣服。”她说，“我不知道他们都在做什么。

“看到法贾诺一家人从家用轿车后座拖出残渣，邻居们也心生疑惑，便告知了当局。于是就有调查人员到来，关停了挖掘工作，并且警告法贾诺不许未得批准就在考古工作现场作业。法贾诺回应说他只是在找水管。”

一年过去了，法贾诺最终被获准继续找寻下水管道，条件是要有遗产官员在现场监督。随后，一座地下宝库出现了，里面有古代花瓶，罗马宗教圣瓶、一个带有基督标志的古戒指，中世纪手工艺品，暗藏的壁画等等，等等。如今，这所建筑已经成为了法贾诺博物馆（Museum Faggiano），一个经莱切政府批准的独立考古博物馆。

法贾诺先生现在对他这座博物馆感到满意，但是他并没有忘记开餐馆的事儿。在挖掘了几年之后，他最终找到了那根水管。那根水管确实是坏了。于是，他买下了另外一处房子，又开始计划着开餐馆了，但前提是这处房子不需要重新装修。“我还是想开餐馆，”他提到他的餐馆时说，“我这个人比较固执。”
