A romantic message-in-a-bottle discovered by a mother and daughter at a Scottish beach has sparked(触发) a mystery about whether it could have travelled 5,000 miles across the seas from China.

Nicola MacFarlane, 41, and daughter Lucy, four, from Portobello, near Edinburgh, were looking for driftwood(浮木) on Portobello Beach when they came across an old glass bottle containing a note inside written in Mandarin. Now the family are trying to work out if the letter has managed the extraordinary journey across the Philippine Sea, into the Indian Ocean and through both the South Atlantic and the North Atlantic Ocean’s before washing up on the shores of Great Britain.
It was written on Chinese Valentine’s Day or Qixi Festival as it is more traditionally known, lunar July 7, 2012, so it sent off as recently as six days ago because it followed the modern calendar, which celebrated the occasion on August 23. Nicola was still excited to read about the Chinese love story after having it translated.

“I really do hope that it is from China but even it is from nearer to home, it’s still a lovely gesture and an inspiring find. It’s a love story regardless of where it came from. Nicola, who runs a beach art business in Portobello, added: “I’m always at the beach looking for bits of driftwood but I’ve never come across anything like this before. We knew it was Chinese, but we had no idea what it said.’

Unable to read the Mandarin text, Nicola turned to the internet and her Australian friend, Julie Gould, whose daughter attended a Chinese school in Sydney.

Several hours later Julie returned with the news that it was in fact a love letter.

The translated letter reads: “Da Hai(Ocean), I hope no-one will get this bottle, as we just wish you can hear our voice, and get your blessing. Today is the Chinese Valentine’s Day, we pray that our relationship will last forever and we will have a long happy life together…”

Nicola said: “It sounds to me like the couple are in love but cannot be together so they have sent the message to tell the world of their love.”

1.When did Nicola and her daughter come across the message-in-bottle?

A. On July 15, 2012. B. On August 29, 2012.

C. On August 31, 2012. D. On September 2, 2012.

2.What were Nicola and her daughter probably doing when they found the bottle?

A. They were walking on the beach.

B. They were washing hands and feet.

C. They were looking for the driftwoods.

D. They were lying on the beach resting.

3.The underlined word “Mandarin” probably means “ ” .

A. Scottish B. British

C. English D. Chinese

4.We can learn from the passage that Nicola__________.

A. thinks the letter was written to show love

B. had expected to get something unusual

C. knows a little Chinese

D. found the bottle was from a nearby place

 

 

A. accurately B. advantage C. desirable D. humble AB. adequate AC. knowing AD. processing BC. rapidly BD. target CD. translate ABC. grasp

A successful translator must have an excellent, up-to-date knowledge of his source language, full facility in the handling of his ___1.____ language, which will be his mother tongue or language of habitual use, and a knowledge of the latest subject-matter in his fields of specialization. This is his professional equipment. In addition to this, it is desirable that he should have an inquiring mind, wide interests, a good memory and the ability to ____2.___ quickly the basic principles of new developments. He should be willing to work on his own, often at high speeds, but should be ____3.___ enough to consult others if his own knowledge doesn’t always prove __4.____ to the task in hand. He should be able to type fairly quickly and ___5.____ and, if he is working basically as an information translator, let us say, for an industrial firm, he should have the flexibility of mind to enable him to switch ___6.____ from one source language to another, as well as from one-subject-matter to another, since this ability is frequently required of him in such work. Bearing in mind the nature of the translator’s work, i. e. the __7.____ of the written word, it is, strictly speaking, unnecessary that he should speak the languages he is dealing with. If he does speak them, it is an ___8.___ rather than a hindrance (障碍), but this skill is in many ways a luxury that makes no much difference to him. It is, however, ___9.___ that he should have a rough idea about the pronunciation of his source languages, even if this is restricted to __10.___ how proper names and place names are pronounced.

I was never very neat, while my roommate Kate was extremely organized. Each of her objects had its place, but mine always hid somewhere. She even labeled (贴标签)everything.
