翻译专业资格一级笔译模拟试题（三）

The fact that a compass needle assulnes a northsouth direction leads to the conclusion that the earth must be a magnet，　with the space all around it constituting a huge magnetic field.

翻译：指南针指向南北方向这一事实可导出这样的结论：地球必定是一个磁体，地球周围的所有空间构成了一个巨大的磁场。(句中两个that引导的都是同位语从句。with...field是分词复合结构，起补充说明作用。)

Marilyn Monroe

Marilyn Monroe proved that where there's a will, there's a way. She overcame a childhood of abuse in foster homes, worked as a swimsuit model, and eventually became one of the most famous movie stars of all time. Her life was often regarded as a fairytale and her legendary marriage to baseball great Joe DiMaggio was the hallmark of this perception。

Her performances in films like Gentlemen Prefer Blondes and Some Like It Hot confirmed she had as much talent as she did beauty. Her tragic death on August 5, 1962 was ruled a suicide by overmedication, which only intensified her perpetual allure and legendary status。

翻译：玛丽莲·梦露

玛丽莲 梦露证明了“有志者事竟成”。她克服了童年时期在多个收养家庭中遭受的虐待，做过泳装模特，最终成为历史上最为耀眼的电影明星之一。人们常常把梦露的一生看作一个童话故事，而她和棒球明星乔 迪 马吉奥的传奇婚姻就是这一看法的最好诠释。

她在《绅士爱美人》和《热情似火》等电影里的表演证明了她不仅有美丽的外表，也有出众的才华。她在1962年8月5日的悲惨离世被裁定为因过度用药引起的自杀。她的离去更加深了她经久不衰的魅力，巩固了她的传奇地位。
