1、第一篇英译汉，选自纽约时报。 出处：http:/ go out of business for many reasons, but few farms do merely because the soil has failed. That is the miracle of farming. If you care for the soil, it will last and yield nearly forever. America is such a young country that we have barely tested that. For most of our history
2、, there has been new land to farm, and we still farm as though there always will be.Still, there are some very old farms out there. The oldest is the Tuttle farm, near Dover, N.H., which is also one of the oldest business enterprises in America. It made the news last week because its owner a lineal
3、descendant of John Tuttle, the original settler has decided to go out of business. It was founded in 1632. I hear its sweet corn is legendary.The year 1632 is unimaginably distant. In 1632, Galileo was still publishing, and John Locke was born. There were perhaps 10,000 colonists in all of America,
4、only a few hundred of them in New Hampshire. The Tuttle acres, then, would have seemed almost as surrounded as they do in 2010, but by forest instead of highways and houses.It was a precarious operation at the start as all farming was in the new coloniesand it became precarious enough again in these
5、 past few years to peter out at last. The land is protected by a conservation easement so it cant be developed, but no one knows whether the next owner will farm it.In a letter on their Web site, the Tuttles cite “exhaustion of resources” as the reason to sell the farm. The exhausted resources they
6、list include bodies, minds, hearts, imagination, equipment, machinery and finances. They do not mention soil, which has been renewed and redeemed repeatedly.It is too simple to say, as the Tuttles have, that the recession killed a farm that had survived for nearly 400 years. What killed it was the e
7、conomic structure of food production. Each year it has become harder for family farms to compete with industrial scale agriculture heavily subsidized by the government underselling them at every turn. In a system committed to the health of farms and their integration with local communities, the resu
8、lt would have been different. In 1632, and for many years after, the Tuttle farm was a necessity. In 2010, it is suddenly superfluous, or so we like to pretend.第二篇英译汉，还是纽约时报。出处：http:/ Youth unemployment across the world has climbed to a new high and is likely to climb further this year, a UN agency
9、said yesterday, while warning of a “lost generation” as more young people give up the search for work.The International Labour Organization (ILO) said in a report that of some 620 million young people ages 15 to 24 in the work force, about 81 million were unemployed at the end of last year the highe
10、st level in two decades of record-keeping by the organization, which is based in Geneva.The youth unemployment rate increased to 13 percent last year from 11.9 percent in the last assessment in 2007.“Theres never been an increase of this magnitude both in terms of the rate and the level since weve b
11、een tracking the data,” said Steven Kapsos, an ILO economist.The agency forecast that the global youth unemployment rate would continue to increase through this year, to 13.1 percent, as the effects of the economic downturn continue. It should then decline to 12.7 percent next year.The agencys repor
12、t found that unemployment had hit young people harder than adults during the financial crisis, from which most economies are only just emerging, and that recovery of the job market for young men and women would lag behind that of adults.The impact of the crisis has also been felt in shorter hours an
13、d reduced wages for those who maintain salaried employment.In some especially strained European countries, including Spain and Britain, many young people have become discouraged and given up the job hunt,it said. The trend will have “significant consequences for young people,” as more and more join
14、the ranks of the already unemployed, it said. That has the potential to create a “lost generation comprised of young people who have dropped out of the labor market, having lost all hope of being able to work for a decent living.”Young people in developing economies were more vulnerable to precariou
