　2015年河南省翻译竞赛试题 （专业组） 题 号 一 二总成绩 合分人 得 分 Translate the Following Passage into Chinese 50 Points ： The Mankind and the Earth The Book of Genesis is full of instances of Man being punished for his attempts to become like God – yet with the primacy of science, Gods power is now increasingly being exercised by us. On a planetary scale, humans now assert unchallenged dominion over all living things. We have leveled forests, ploughed up the great grasslands and transformed the continents to serve our demands. The productive capacity of a major part of the planets terrestrial surface is now dedicated to satisfying our demands for food, fuel and fiber, whilst the oceans are trawled around the clock for the fishy fats and proteins our brains and bodies demand. Human beings have, therefore, clearly been an unprecedented evolutionary success story. Yet there is a dark side to this momentous achievement. For the biosphere as a whole, the Age of Humans has been a catastrophe. Our domestication of the planets surface to provide food and fuel has displaced all competing species to the margins. And the most amazing of all is how blissfully unaware of this colossal transformation we remain. Even most Greens – ever hopeful that vanished wild nature can one day be restored – still recoil from the real truth about our role. Climate-change deniers are successful partly because they tap into a powerful cultural undercurrent that insists we are small and the planet is big, therefore nothing we do can have a planet-scale impact. True, we may not be able to stop earthquakes or tsunamis. But the overwhelming weight of scientific evidence suggests that we are fast approaching the point where our interference in the planets great bio-geochemical cycles is threatening to endanger the system itself, and hence our own survival as a species. 得　分 评阅人 II.
