一、英译汉(节选自《卫报》)
In December 2015, British publishing stood accused of
woeful blindness to diversity, and not for the first time, after
World Book Night announced its titles, and none of the 15 books
was
by a writer of colour. An apology was issued by organisers but a
wider malaise had already set in, and along with it, the
troubling
feeling that WBN’s oversight was less an isolated incident and
more
a recurring pattern of exclusion that stretched across the
literary
establishment.
A report on the state of the books industry had been
published earlier that year by the development agency Spread the
Word, which drew attention to how intransigently white,
middle-class and male remained, from literary festivals and
prizes
to publications and personnel.
The industry has been announcing strategies for change
since 2015. Publishing houses have rolled out paid internships,
mentoring schemes and traineeships to attract socially
under-represented and BAME (black, Asian, minority ethnics)
applicants on an unprecedented scale, as well as creating
opportunities for women to move into boardrooms.
To name a few recent initiatives: Penguin Random House is
offering interest-free rent loans to draw more applicants from
outside London and has set a company goal “for allnew hires and
the
books we acquire to reflect UK society by 2025 in terms of social
mobility, ethnicity, gender, disability, and sexuality”. Harper
Collins is launching programmes for BAME employees and those
taking
long-term parental leave, while Hachette is encouraging diversity

at an executive level in a mentoring scheme with board
members.
Some schemes show promising signs. Penguin’s scheme
connects aspiring writers from socially excluded communities to
agents, editors and authors, is helping to demystify these
professions.
It appears to be a turning point for Britis
