試卷二 （IV. Translation）
Directions: There are sorne passages in this part of the test. You are to translate the passages into Chinese on your Answer Sheet. A~:
71. (~)Geologists, contrary to normal working folks, believe that knowledge of the concepts of geology can help to find petroleum and, furthermore, often think that petroleum geology and petroleum exploration are synonyms, which they are not. Theories that petroleum is not formed by the transformation of organic matter in sediments have already been noted and are examined in more detail. If the petroleum geologists' view of oil generation and migration are not accepted, then present exploration methods would need extensive modification.
(~)Some petroleum explorationists still do not admit to a need for geologists to aid them in their search. In 1975 a well-known oil researcher from Dallas, Texas was determined in not allowing geologists join his team, because he believed that they were too expensive and decreased his profits per barrel significantly. Saudi Arabian Oil Company is under a statutory obligation imposed by its government to put to the test every claim to an oil-finding method, be it a dowsing or some sophisticated scientific technique.These examples are not isolated cases, and it has been argued that oil may better be found by random drilling than by the appliance of scientific principles.
~Petroleum geology is only one aspect of petroleum exploration and production. The task of finding petroleum in modem times requires a knowledgeable and varying group of professionals to work together to achieve the same goal. These skills include political and social expertise, which is involved in the purchase of potential oil fields especially in unstable countries. Geophysical surveying is involved in preparing the initial data on which drilling recommendations are based on. Petroleum engineering is concerned with establishing the reserves of a field, the distribution of petroleum within the reservoir, and the most effective way of producing it.

翻譯大體內(nèi)容：
地質(zhì)學家相對于非地質(zhì)學家來說，更相信了解地質(zhì)概念有助于尋找石油。而且，常常認為石油地質(zhì)和石油勘探是同義詞，而實際上并非如此。石油并不是由沉積物中的有機物轉(zhuǎn)化而來的理論已經(jīng)引起人們的關(guān)注，并在許多細節(jié)問題上得以證實。如果石油地質(zhì)學者關(guān)于油氣生成和運移的觀點不被接受，那么目前的勘探方法需要大幅度改變。
一些石油勘探家仍然不承認在找油過程中需要地質(zhì)學家的幫助。1982年，一位德州米德蘭油田的發(fā)現(xiàn)者聲稱沒有雇傭地質(zhì)學家。他的對手雇傭了地質(zhì)學家，結(jié)果只是增加了每桶原油的成本。南非國家石油公司在政府法律強行規(guī)定下，對每種發(fā)現(xiàn)石油的方法(尋找礦藏和水源機械方法或復雜的科學方法)必須進行測驗。上述事例并非是獨一無二的，它說明尋找石油可能的較好方法是隨機鉆探，而不是應(yīng)用科學原理。
