环保
四级翻译预测：
随着天下人口越来越密集(densely populated),空气污染已经成了严重的问题。空气污染紧张来源于四个紧张的人类活动领域：工业、能源业、交通运输业以及农业。经营工厂,为火车、飞机和公共汽车供应动力都须要能源。险些所有这些能源都是通过燃烧燃料产生的,这就会造成空气污染。科学家们正在研究能减少环境毁坏的新发电办法。增强的公共环保意识使诸如回收利用(recycling)等活动产生。
翻译范文：
As the world is getting more and more denselypopulated,air pollution has become a severeproblem.
Air pollution mainly derives from four majorhuman activity sectors:industry,energy,transportation andagriculture.
Energies are needed to run factories,to power trains,planes and buses.
Nearly all ofthese energies are produced by burning fuels,which would cause air pollution.
Scientists arestudying new ways of generating electricity that can be less damaging to the environment.
Theincreased public environmental awareness has led to the advent of activities such as recycling.
翻译详解：

社会想象

It will lead to a better quality of life for many people，and provide individuals with more job opportunities. The construction of housing and city infrastructure, in?cluding water and energy supplies, will be a focal point of urban develop?ment as more people migrate to cities. Urbanization means better access to educational and medical resources in the city. But it also predicts less use of personal vehicles and more use of public transportation.

4、就寝紊乱
原文：
我们的身体夜晚须要安歇，白天须要复苏。大多数人每晚须要8到8.5个小时的就寝才能正常运转。找到更多的韶光、更好的就寝方法可能是个寻衅。科学家已经确认了80多种不同的就寝紊乱症(sleep disorders)。有些就寝紊乱症是遗传的。但是，许多就寝紊乱症是由于熬夜，常常跨时区旅行以及上夜班而引起的。
