问题     University letters to students and alumni are usually cheerful. But the University of California at Los Angeles(UCLA)is now composing 800,000 embarrassing ones. The university announced Tuesday that it’s notifying nearly a million members of its community—including students, faculty and alumni—that a hacker gained access to their Social Security numbers, dates of birth, home addresses and contact information.【F1】UCLA computer security technicians noticed a suspicious number of database queries on Nov. 21, and after a quick investigation , discovered that a hacker had accessed records dishonestly all the way back to October of 2005. The university blocked further access to the private data and hired a consultant to help figure out how it happened.【F2】In a letter to those who may have been victimized, UCLA’s Acting Chancellor Norman Abrams noted that the data does not include credit card or banking information, but apologized. " I deeply regret any concern or inconvenience this incident may cause you," Abrams wrote.
    Jim Davis, UCLA’s Chief Information Officer, who is responsible for the university’s computer security policy, says UCLA had already begun removing Social Security numbers from common usage, but that some numbers remain in the university database because of financial reporting requirements. "With 20/20 hindsight, the best way to deal with this kind of situation is not to have Social Security numbers there in the first place," Davis says. "The faster we move on that, the better off we will be. "【F3】He says that while those at the university are "scared" there is no indication thus far that identity thieves have used any stolen data, and that while the investigation is still in process, the actual number of those affected by the hacking may be just 5% or less of the 800,000 whose data was potentially vulnerable.
    【F4】The FBI has launched its own investigation of the incident, but tracking down those responsible will be a challenge. In 2005, 8.9 million Americans suffered from some type of identity theft, according to a study done by Javelin Strategy & Research for the Better Business Bureau, and few of those cases are likely to be prosecuted. Many hackers work from remote locations overseas and assiduously cover their digital tracks, and Davis says that signs thus far suggest it was not perpetrated by someone on campus.【F5】The fact that UCLA didn’t discover the hack until more than a year after it began demonstrates how carefully the digital intruder conducted the attack. "Universities are particularly leaky boats," says Givens. "Their systems are highly decentralized and easily accessible by students, staff, even alumni and contractors. " That makes it harder to ensure tight security. "Out of hundreds of applications, they found a small vulnerability and found a way to exploit it," Davis says. "Now the question is how the university stands up and responds."

选项
答案UCLA负责计算机安全的技术人员于11月21日发现了一个可疑的对数据库进行查询的号码，经过快速调查之后发现，一个黑客非法获取了一些资料，而这种行为可一直追溯到2005年的10月份。
解析 本句为含宾语从句的主从复合句。句子主干为UCLA computer securlty technicians no一ticed…and…discovered that…此句翻译难点首先是确定词语在特定语境中的词义，query本义是“询问，疑问”，和database搭配后就要翻译成“对数据库的查询”。其次是两个短语翻译时的前置或后置问题。All the way back to October of 2005作状语修饰宾语从句中的谓语动词access，英语多长句，而汉语多短句，尤其用来形容多个行为时，这种特征尤其明显，这个短语翻译成汉语比较好的处理方式是另起一句翻译，避免与前面译成一句而显得哕嗦。
