English to Chinese: The Stupidity of Broke/破产之愚
General field: Art/Literary
Detailed field: Business/Commerce (general)
Source text - English
A lot of writing on the wall these days. Who has the bonds of a “developed world” developed to the point that it’s institutionally conditioned to living beyond its means? Foreigners with money. So who’s available and flush
enough? The Chinese Politburo; Saudi sheikhs lubricated with oil but with lavish worldwide ideological proselytizing to fund; Russian “businessmen.”. . . These are not the fellows one might choose to have one’s bonds, never mind one’s soul, but there aren’t a lot of other options.
Translation - Chinese
如今,这些不祥之兆比比皆是。是谁持有这些所谓“发达国家”的债券?它们已经“发达”到制度上难以为继、入不敷出的境地。是有钱的外国人。那么是谁能如此富有又乐意慷慨解囊,出手相救?是中共政治局;或是坐拥石油宝藏的沙特酋长,而且还要乐善好施,愿意一掷千金,在全球广结善缘;要么就是俄罗斯的“巨贾富商”……别指望他们来买入债券,他们对拿走谁的小命更不感兴趣,可除此之外并无太多选择。

English to Chinese: Paradigms of Computer Programming
General field: Tech/Engineering
Detailed field: Computers: Systems, Networks
Source text - English
"This course gives an introduction to all major programming concepts, techniques, and paradigms in a unified framework. We cover the three main programming paradigms: functional, object-oriented, and declarative dataflow. We explain the four ways to do data abstraction and discuss the trade-offs between objects and abstract data types. We present declarative dataflow, the most useful paradigm for concurrent programming, and show how it avoids race conditions. We give a simple formal semantics for all concepts and illustrate them with practical code that runs on the accompanying open-source platform, the Mozart Programming System. This course is targeted toward people with a basic knowledge of programming. It will be most useful to beginning programming students, but the unconventional approach should be insightful even to seasoned professionals.
Translation - Chinese
" 本课程对统一框架下的所有主要编程概念、技巧和范例进行介绍。我们会涵盖三大主要编程范例:函数式、面向对象式和说明性数据流。我们会介绍数据抽象的四种方法,讨论对象和抽象数据类型的权衡。我们会介绍说明性数据流,这是并发编程中的最有用范例,展示它怎样避免竞争条件。我们为所有概念提供一个简单的形式语义,用于对伴随开放源平台上运行的实用代码——莫扎特编程系统进行说明。本课程针对的具备基本编程知识的人群。对初学编程的学生最为有用,但是其非常规的方式对熟练专业人员来说也会颇有见地。

English to Chinese: A Fair Trade?
General field: Bus/Financial
Detailed field: Agriculture
Source text - English
In theory, the International Coffee Organization should be one of the most influential agencies on the planet. As the leading advocate for the world’s twenty-five million coffee farmers, its global sway ought to be right up there with OPEC, another regulator of a vital liquid fuel. After all, oil and coffee are the two most-traded commodities in existence, and if either were to suddenly vanish, the gears of the world would grind to an immediate halt. Without coffee, half of Western civilization would be crippled by blinding headaches; morning commuters would wander around in a daze, mumbling to themselves and clutching empty travel mugs; the long-haul trucking industry would simply cease to exist. In short, coffee growers prevent the world from descending into animal-pelt-wearing, fire-god-worshipping anarchy.
Translation - Chinese
从理论上讲,国际咖啡组织(International Coffee Organization)应该是这一星球上最有影响力的组织之一。作为2500万咖啡种植户的主要倡导者,它在全球的影响力应该与石油输出国组织(OPEC)不相上下,后者是另一种至关重要的液体燃料的监管机构。毕竟,石油和咖啡是两种交易量最大商品,如果其中任何一种突然消失,世界机器的齿轮就会戛然而止。若是没有了咖啡,半数的西方文明都会因为人们头痛得眼睛发花而受到影响。早晨的通勤上班族会在恍惚中四处徘徊,手捧空空的旅行杯喃喃自语;长途汽运行业索性不复存在。简言之,咖啡种植户避免了世界堕入身裹兽皮、火神崇拜的无政府状态。

No Place To Hide: Edward Snowden, the NSA, and the U.S. Surveillance State

The story of one of the greatest national security leaks in US history.
