英译汉中的名词（ 1 ）——★不认识的名词
例： According to BT s futurologist ， Ian Pearson ， these are among the developments scheduled for the first few decades of the new millennium （ a period of 1000years ）， when supercomputers will dramatically accelerate progress in all areas of life. Pearson has pieced together the work of hundreds of researchers around the world to produce a unique millennium technology calendar that gives the latest dates when we can expect hundreds or key breakthroughs and discoveries to take place. （ 2001 年真题）
分析： millennium 这个词显然是个朝纲词，见到时第一反应是看文章中是否有解释，我们发现 millennium 之前有 a period of 1,000 years , 这样就不存在生词问题了。
B 看前面是否有同义词 。
例： Pearson also predicts a breakthrough in computer-human links . “ By linking directly to our nervous system ， computers could pick up what we feel and ， hopefully ， simulate feeling too so that we can start to develop full sensory environments ， rather like the holidays in Total Recall or the Star Trek holodeck ，” he says . But that ， Pearson points out ， is only the start of man-machine integration : “ It will be the beginning of the long process of integration that will ultimately lead to a fully electronic human before the end of the next century. ”
（ 2001 年真题）
分析：大纲中只有 integrate ，没见过它的名词形式，有点怕人 ~ 但是注意在 integration 之前 有 link 这个词，题中是 man-machine integration ， 前面有 computer-human links ， 就表明两者实际是一回事，指的是“人机一体化”。
C 从构词法找答案。
例： Astrophysicists working with ground-based detectors at the South Pole and balloon-borne instruments are closing in on such structures ， and may report their findings soon. （ 1998 年真题）
分析： astrophysicists 看上去挺吓人，大纲中没有它。但仔细看，它是由 astro+physicist 构成，大纲中有 astronaut ( 宇航员 ) ， astronomy ( 天文学 ) ， physicist （物理学家）， astrophysicists 不是就可以猜测为“天文（或天体）物理学家”吗？

1 请下面的句子翻译成中文。
What the researchers found was at once both amazing and expected:the US National Aeronautics and Space Administrations Cosmic Background Explorer satellite — Cobe — had discovered landmark evidence that the universe did in fact begin with the primeval explosion that has become known as the Big Bang （ the theory that the universe originated in an explosion from a single mass of energy ） . The existence of the giant clouds was virtually required for the Big Bang ， first put forward in the 1920s ， to maintain its reign as the dominant explanation of the cosmos. （ 1998 年真题）
