All Luciano Faggiano wanted when he purchased the seemingly unremarkable building at 56 Via Ascanio
Grandi, was to open a restaurant. The only problem was the toilet. Sewage kept backing up. So
Mr. Faggiano enlisted his two older sons to help him dig a trench and investigate. He predicted
the job would take about a week. “We found underground corridors and other rooms, so we kept
digging,” said Mr. Faggiano, 60. His search for a sewage pipe, which began in 2000, became one
family’s tale of discovery.
Lecce was once a critical crossroads in the Mediterranean. Severo Martini, a member of the City
Council, said archaeological relics turn up on a regular basis — and can present a headache for
urban planning. A project to build a shopping mall had to be redesigned after the discovery of
an ancient Roman temple beneath the site of a planned parking lot.
One week quickly passed, as father and sons discovered a tomb of the Messapians, who lived in
the region centuries before the birth of Jesus. Soon, the family discovered a chamber used to
store grain by the ancient Romans.
If this history only later became clear, what was immediately obvious was that finding the pipe
would be a much bigger project than Mr. Faggiano had anticipated. He did not initially tell his
wife about the extent of the work. He tied a rope around the chest of his youngest son, Davide,
then 12, and lowered him to dig in small, darkened openings. “I made sure to tell him not to
tell his mama,” he said. His wife, , soon became suspicious. “We had all these dirty clothes,
every day,” she said. “I didn’t understand what was going on.
After watching the Faggiano men haul away debris in the back seat of the family car, neighbors
also became suspicious and notified the authorities. Investigators arrived and shut down the
excavations, warning Mr. Faggiano against operating an unapproved archaeological work site. Mr.
Faggiano responded that he was just looking for a sewage pipe.
A year passed. Finally, Mr. Faggiano was allowed to resume his pursuit of the sewage pipe on
condition that heritage officials observed the work. An underground treasure house emerged, as
the family uncovered ancient vases, Roman devotional bottles, an ancient ring with Christian
symbols, medieval artifacts, hidden frescoes and more. Today, the building is Museum Faggiano,
an independent archaeological museum authorized by the Lecce government.
Mr. Faggiano is now satisfied with his museum, but he has not forgotten about the restaurant.
A few years into his excavation, he finally found his sewage pipe. It was, indeed, broken. He
has since bought another building and is again planning for a restaurant, assuming it does not
need any renovations. “I still want it,” he said of the restaurant. “I’m very stubborn.”

正确答案：(
卢西亚诺?法贾诺(Luciano Faggiano)当初买下位于阿斯卡尼奥格兰迪街56号(56 Via Ascanio Grandi)
这栋似乎不起眼的房子只是为了开家餐馆。房子只有一个问题，那就是厕所的下水道老不通。因此，法贾
诺先生招来他的两个儿子帮忙挖沟，一查究竟。他预计这项工作会用一个星期完成。现年60岁的法贾诺 说：
“我们发现了一些地下走廊和其他一些房间，于是我们就一直挖下去。”法贾诺这项寻找下水道的工 作，
始于2000年，最后演变成了一个关于探索发现的家庭的传奇故事。
莱切(Lecce )曾经是地中海地区一个重要的汇集地。该城市一位市议会议员塞维洛?马尔蒂尼(Severo
Ma rtini)说在这里经常发现考古遗迹，不过这让城市规划者非常头疼。一个拟建的购物中心项目在规划的停车场下面发现一座古罗马庙宇之后不得不重新规划。
一个星期很快过去了，父子三人发现了一个 麦撒比人墓。在耶稣降世前几百年前，麦撒比人就在这个地区
生活了。很快，他们又发现了一个古罗马人 储存粮食的房间。
如果知道这段历史，法贾诺就会立刻明白找寻管道这件事工程量之大远远超出了自己 的预计。法贾诺最初
没有告诉妻子会有多大工作量。他在当时12岁的小儿子戴维德(Davide)胸 部系好绳索，把他放下去，在狭
窄昏暗的通道中进行挖掘。他说：“我得确保不能让孩子把这件事告诉他 妈。”但是他的妻子安娜?玛利亚
?萨诺(Anna Maria Sanò)不久就起了疑心。“每天都有脏衣服。”她说，“我不知道他们都在做什么。
“看到法贾诺 一家人从家用轿车后座拖出残渣，邻居们也心生疑惑，便告知了当局。于是就有调查人员到
来，关停了挖 掘工作，并且警告法贾诺不许未得批准就在考古工作现场作业。法贾诺回应说他只是在找水
管。” 一年过去了，法贾诺最终被获准继续找寻下水管道，条件是要有遗产官员在现场监督。随后，一座地下宝库出现了，里面有古代花瓶，罗马宗教圣瓶、一个带有基督标志的古戒指，中世纪手工艺品，暗藏的壁画等等，等等。如今，这所建筑已经成为了法贾诺博物馆(Museum Faggiano)，一个经莱切政府批准的独立考
古博物馆。
法贾诺先生现在对他这座博物 馆感到满意，但是他并没有忘记开餐馆的事儿。在挖掘了几年之后，他最终
找到了那根水管。那根水管确 实是坏了。于是，他买下了另外一处房子，又开始计划着开餐馆了，但前提
是这处房子不需要重新装修。 “我还是想开餐馆，”他提到他的餐馆时说，“我这个人比较固执。”

解析：
第一段解析：
第一句话是由all引出的一个主语从句。该句理解难点在于中间插入了whe n引导的时间状语从句，可能与
考生以往见到的状语从句位置不同。“the seemingly unremarkable building”意为:“这座似乎不起眼
的建筑”。第三句“Sewage kept backing up.”其中back up为高频动词短语，具有多义性，分别为“支
持”、“备份 ”、“倒退”、“援助”、“堵塞”等多种义项，(其近义词可以有corroborate, substantiate,
reinforce, copy, dupilicate, reverse, go backward, recede, congest等等)，但根据上下文不难理
解该句指“下水道一直堵塞”。enlist sb. to do sth指招募某人做某事。后面的语句十分简单。
第二段解析：

本段中critical表示“关键的，重要的”;“turn up”为高频动词短语，此处语义确切，表示“出现”;on
a regular basis字面意思是“在有规律的基础上”，不符合汉语表达习惯，结合前面的动词短语turn up,
可转换成“有规律地出现、经常性地出现”;parking lot指“停车场”。
第三段解析：
the Messapians 和theancient Romans要分 别翻译成“麦撒比人”和“古罗马人”;chamber表示“房间”。
整段句法简单。
第四段解析：
第一句话由一个假设条件句、一个主语从句、一个表语从句和一个比较结构组成 ，稍显复杂，其他句子都
是简单句。难词不多，initially表示“起初”;openings表 示“孔洞，通道”;suspicious表示“怀疑的”。
第五段解析：
本段主要是几个 单词语义的理解。Haul表示“托，拉”;debris表示“碎片、残渣”，需要注意该词读音
的特 殊性，词尾“s”不发音;notify表示“通知、告知”;excavation表示“挖掘”;unapp roved表示“未
经批准的”。
第六段解析：
本段中专业性词汇增多，稍有难度 的是devotional，表示“宗教的，用于祈祷的”，该词在大学英语范围
内出现频率较低，可能 难以被考生直接识解。Fresco指“墙壁灰泥未干时的绘画”，属于纯专业性术语，
可以译为“湿壁 画”或减译为“壁画”。此外,本段还出现了一些大学期间的高频核心词汇，如resume,
pursuit, on condition that, heritage, emerge, medieval, independent, authorize等。从句法上看，
第二句话稍显 复杂。其中as引导的从句，做时间状语，可以译为“随着一家人发现了古代花瓶,……，一
座地下宝库 出现了”，也可以把as引导的从属成分与主句译为并列句，如“一座地下宝库映入眼帘：他们
发现了古 代花瓶，……”。
第七段解析：
本段第二句“A few years into his excavation”稍有难度，特别是into的处理，本句可以释义为：a few
years after he engaged in his excavation，故本句可译为“经过几年挖掘”。 另外，第四句结构稍显
复杂，由and连接两个并列复合谓语，assuming，分词做状语，引导一 个假设条件句。

)
解析：
第一段解析：
本段首句 主语是“本研究院”，其中研究院可以用institute，“本”的翻译会让考生小小纠结，
可考虑 用定冠词或代词，“the institute”和“our institute”较常用。“隶属”是比较专业的词汇，
可选词汇有“be subordinate to”，“be attached to”、“be affiliated withto”等。中国航天科
技集团公司属于专有名词，译为“China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASC)”。
从句法上看，前三个小句是“简介”类文本经常出现的“表达信息组合”，具备现代汉语的典型特征，
后 面两句均为无主句，翻译时需要补充主语，或考虑将四个小句整合为一个复合句，例如：Founded on
Feburary 20th, 1968 and affiliated with China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASC),
the institute has become a major base of space technology and product development and has become
Chinese backbone force in China’s space industry after 40 years development.但是，这样处理使
结构略显臃肿，建议将其译为两句。“本研究院成立于1968年2月20日。隶属中国航天科技集团公 司。”
译为：Founded on February 20th, 1968, the institute is affiliated to the China Aerospace Science
and Technology Corporation (CASC).译为“Affiliated to the China Aerospace Science and Technology
Corporation, the institute was founded on February 20th, 1968.”也能被接受。

第四句也是个无主句，翻译时需要先补充主语，其主干结构为The institute is mainly engaged in...
后面是并列的几个宾语。第五句话仍然是无主句，是上一句该研究所机构功 能的补充，在语句衔接上需要
使用链接手段，如：also、besides等。主句可使用“We also participate in ..., study...,undertake
researches on...,and provide services...”,词汇选择 上需要注意“外层空间outerspace”、“航天
器spacecrafts”、“地面应用设备 ground application equipment”的专业属性。
第二段解析：
本段首句出现的专业化词汇较多，对考生可构成一定挑战，如“下设研究机构”可译为“subsidiary
research organs”;“上市公司”可译为“listed company”;“全资子公司”为“wholly owned
subsidaries”;“国家重点实验室”为“national key laborator y”。在句法上，本句包含“本研究院下
设…，拥有…”、“建立了…”、“形成了…体系”三个相对独 立完整的义群，所以建议拆成两或三个独
立的英文语句。
第二句话主干结构为“本研究院 拥有…人，其中包括8名……，12名…和1700多名…”。可以选择
“there be”句型表示拥有，后面采用“8 of which”这种带有前置词的非限制性定于从句，也可以采用其他句式。最后一句结构单一，词汇简单。
