實戰(zhàn)演練：
【漢譯英 7】敲擊鍵盤的聲音也許是現(xiàn)代社會的一種白色噪音，但其實，他們所透露出的信息比疏忽的打字者意識到的要更多。通過簡單分析擊鍵聲音的錄音，計算機專家們現(xiàn)在就能夠準確無誤的解析出一篇通過鍵盤輸入的文字的腳本，甚至包括輸入的密碼。與其他計算機比起來，這個過程簡單很多，僅僅需要一個便宜的麥克風(fēng)和一臺電腦。
【參考譯文】Clattering keyboards may seem as the white noise of the modern age, but they reveal more information than careless typists realize.

Fresh water is essential for life which is also irreplaceable. Although we couldn’t get any idea about the pricing of water, it is the most valuable stuff in the world. It is determined by nature that the supply of water is fixed. With the growth of world population and the improvement of living standard, the trend of people's increased need for water is inevitable.?Homes, factories and offices are consuming more and more water. But it is the planet’s growing need for food (and the water involved in producing crops and meat) that matters most.
