问题     Electronics(电子学) is the technology which marshals and controls electrons in materials, and today its applications seems to be boundless. The most striking application recently was the establishment of an electronic communications web around the world to make the moon landing possible. In the near future this web or a similar one will be used in a survey of the earth’s resources. (46)Satellites will not only record interesting geographical features but will be of invaluable service in reporting on outbreaks such as insect plague, plant disease, bush fire, and volcanic activity.
    Electronics is also the key to automation, where manual control of machines is replaced by electronics controls which are faster, and more accurate and reliable. (47)The automatic timing of traffic lights, the automatic mining and processing of ores(矿石) the numerical control of machine tools, the control of electrical power stations, the automatic monitoring of hospital patients’ medical conditions, and the monitoring of plant and animal growth ate all examples of the rapidly growing applications of electronics in this area.
    (48)Apart from automation, other applications which arouse public opinion include satellites used for military purposes, electronic bugging systems and computer centers to record personal data on all citizens. As well as providing the nucleus for such data centres, computers will take over more and more of the routine operations of modem life. They seem destined to be the application of electronics which will have most influence on our lives in the coming decade. (49)Perhaps more significantly in the long-range view, they will extend man’s reasoning power as tools and machines have extended his muscles in the past and the telephone, radio, and TV are extending his senses at present.
    (50)Since electronics is used in so many activities and because it touches on many other subjects, it provides possible means of con tact between engineering and the social, natural and medical sciences.


选项

答案交通信号灯的自动计时,矿石的自动开采与加工,机床的数控,发电厂控制,医院里病人医疗情况的自动监护,动植物生长的监视等,都是电子学在-自动化方面的应用迅速增长的例子。

解析 本句采用"顺序法"、"重译法"翻译。这是一个长的简单句。主干为The automatic timing of traffic light...are all examples。are前面的列举项都为句子的并列主句。此句子虽长,但结构简单,也与中文习惯不冲突,故采用"顺译法"译出。但在顺译的过程中,则需有个小小的改动。in this area在句中,实指the area of automation,为使句意明确,在此将this重译为"在自动化"方面。
