泽熙美文Section 1 English-Chinese Translation
Translate the following passage into Chinese.
1. In today’s interconnected world, culture’s power to transform societies is clear. Its diverse manifestations-from our cherished historic monuments and museum to traditional practices and contemporary art forms—enrich our everyday lives in countless ways. Heritage constitutes a source of identity and cohesion for communities disrupted by bewildering change and economic instability. Creativity contributes to building open, inclusive and pluralistic societies. Both heritage and creativity lay the foundations for vibrant, innovative and prosperous knowledge societies.
Culture is who we are and what shapes our identity. In September 2015 the United Nations General Assembly adopted the sustainable goals. UNESCO ensures that the role of culture is recognized through a majority of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including those focusing on quality education, sustainable cities, the environment, economic growth, sustainable consumption and production patterns, peaceful and inclusive societies, gender equality and food security.
No development can be sustainable without a strong culture component. Indeed only a human-centered approach to development based on mutual respect and open dialogue among cultures can lead to lasting, inclusive and equitable results. Yet until recently, culture has been missing from the development strategy.
To ensure that culture takes its rightful place in development strategies and processes, UNESCO has adopted an approach: it spearheads worldwide advocacy for culture and development, while engaging with the international community to set clear policies and legal frameworks and working on the ground to support governments and local stakeholders to safeguard heritage, strengthen creative industries and encourage cultural pluralism.
Today, creativity is emerging as one of the most promising ways for changing how we see cities. Whether by revitalizing the local economy, rethinking transport or housing policies, reclaiming urban spaces, or opening up new horizons for young people, creativity is one of the driving forces behind urban policies and initiatives. Cities worldwide are focusing their attention on the cultural and creative industries as an inspiration for their future. This vision is promoted by elected representatives and city policy-makers, who see it as a strategic lever for innovation when it comes to tackling contemporary urban issues, whether on an economic, social or environmental front. More importantly, however, it is a vision shared by professionals and citizens, who are taking action in their own neighborhoods and communities to build more sustainable and more human cities.
This vision of creative urban governance is the driving force behind the UNESCO Creative Cities Programme and Network(联合国教科文组织创意城市网络). Since its creation in 2004, the Network has established itself as a strategic platform for promoting and sharing this new approach to sustainable cities. Through its standard-setting and operational actions, UNESCO has paved the way for demonstrating the essential role of creativity in urban sustainability, assisting national and local authorities and advocating this vision at an international level.
Culture and creativity play a key role in sustainable urban development. They contribute to diversifying the economy and generating jobs but they also enhance the quality of life of citizens by participating to a city’s social structure and cultural diversity.

难句理解
本句较长，但结构较简单，句子的主干为Its diverse manifestations enrich our everyday lives。介词结构from… to…作后置定语，修饰主语manifestations，说明文化的各种具体表现形式。由于该定语出现在破折号之后，所以也是本句的插入成分。in countless ways为方式状语，修饰谓语enrich。
采分点分析
采分点一：基本素质
1．⑦句the United Nations General Assembly为“联合国大会”，简称“联大”，是联合国主要的审查、审议和监督的机构。
2．⑧句UNESCO全称为United Nations Educational，Scientific and Cultural Organization，固定译名为“联合国教科文组织”。该组织名称在政治文本中出现频率较高，且一般以缩写形式出现，理应是译者熟知的常识性专有名词。
采分点二：选词用词
1．①句clear意为“清晰的”“清澈的”。此处可直译作“文化改变社会的力量是显而易见的”。也可以采用正话反说的译法，将“清晰”反译为“无疑”，并改变词性，译作“文化无疑具有改变社会的力量”。
2．②句monument有“纪念碑”“丰碑”“历史遗迹”等意思。联系前文的historic和后文的heritage，可知此处应选择“历史遗迹”这一义项。
3．③句heritage意为“遗产”，而遗产又包含“死者留下的财产”与“历史上留下的精神或物质财富”两种含义。根据上下文，此处应进行增译，译为“历史文化遗产”。
4．③句identity有“身份”“同一性”“特性”等意思。联系历史文化遗产的人文功能以及后文的communities“群体”，可知此处的identity指的是某一群体的“身份”或“特性”，但是考虑到和source“来源”搭配，可以将其译作“文化认同感”，使译文更通顺。
采分点三：理解结构
1．②句是个长句，后置定语放在破折号之后，同时也是插入成分。在翻译过程中，可先处理插入成分，将文化的各种表现形式置于句首译出，再将“文化表现形式丰富日常生活”这一句子主干置于后部翻译，从局部到整体，使句意简明，逻辑通顺。
2．⑦句阐述联合国大会采纳可持续发展目标的事实，⑧句including所引导的较长定语则详细说明了可持续发展目标的着眼点。而仔细分析可知，两
