杭州师范大学2020年招收攻读硕士研究生考试题：英语翻译基础

Talking to Melissa(梅丽莎)in a time of commercial trouble, I found her disposed to speak pathetically of the disgrace which had fallen on Sir Gavial Mantrap(盖威尔·曼特普), because of his conduct in relation to the Eocene Mines, and to other companies ingeniously devised by him for the punishment of ignorance in people of small means: a disgrace by which the poor titled gentleman was actually reduced to live in comparative obscurity on his wife's settlement of one or two hundred thousand in the consols.

"Surely your pity is misapplied," said I, rather dubiously, for I like the comfort of trusting that a correct moral judgment is the strong point in woman (seeing that she has a majority of about a million in our islands), and I imagined that Melissa might have some unexpressed grounds for her opinion. "I should have thought you would rather be sorry for Mantrap's victims--the widows, spinsters, and hard-working fathers whom his unscrupulous haste to make himself rich has cheated of all their savings, while he is eating well, lying softly, and after impudently justifying himself before the public, is perhaps joining in the General Confession with a sense that he is an acceptable object in the sight of God, though decent men refuse to meet him."

Ⅳ. Directions: Translate the following Chinese passage into English one carefully. Pay special attention to the faithfulness and expressiveness. (50 points)

数字时代的一个引人注目的事件是美国购物中心竭力摆脱困境。目前美国有1100家购物中心。但是，专家预计有约300家购物中心会在未来五年关闭。当梅西百货等大型百货公司的数十家门店关闭时，周围的小型商店会随之关门。许多购物中心仍有希望，但版图已经改变。对许多寻找便宜物品的购物者和寻找玩乐地的郊区青少年来说，美国的购物中心曾是他们的理想去处。但是，亚马逊网站的崛起和时尚潮流的变化使一些购物中心成了现代“鬼城”。曾经备受欢迎的服饰零售商已经申请破产。而大型零售商则被迫关闭门店。多家连锁零售商还宣布裁员。

亚马逊网站对这些公司来说是个大麻烦。目前在电商之王亚马逊网站上能买到一切物品。亚马逊甚至要推出自己的服装品牌。另外，亚马逊还将开设更多实体店。曾是最受年轻购物者欢迎的热门品牌现在也为了能留住市场而苦苦挣扎。这一趋势对城市大型购物中心的打击尤为严重。最近几年底特律等城市的大型购物中心相继关门。

但是，购物中心并没有失去全部希望。许多购物中心，尤其是较富裕郊区的购物中心正在增加热门零售商的门店数量。所以，购物中心可能还不会走向衰亡。
