第三篇：商务英语口译期末

英语口译

一、篇章翻译抽取一部分内容有变化有录音，2min, 30%

尊敬的各位中美企业家，尊敬的各位来宾，女士们、先生们： 非常高兴出席今天在克里夫兰举办的中美贸易投资合作研讨会。

中美建交27年来，在中美双方的共同努力下，两国经贸合作迅猛增长。按中方统计，2005年双边贸易达到2,116亿美元，是建交时的86倍。目前美国是中国第二大贸易伙伴，中国是美国第三大贸易伙伴。//中国加入世贸组织以来的5年，是美对华出口增长最快的5年。2001至2005年，两国贸易额年均增长27.4%，美对华出口年均增长21.5％，2005年美对华出口额比2001年增长118％，是美对全球出口增幅的4.9倍，远高于美对其他所有主要出口市场的增长率，// 中国由2001年美第九大出口市场跃升为2005年的第四大出口市场，成为带动美出口增长的主要因素。/ 今年前10个月，美对华出口额接近500亿美元，超过去年全年的出口额，增幅达24%。如能保持这一增长势头，2007年中国有可能跃升为美国第三大出口市场。// 在双边贸易快速增长的同时，双向投资得到快速发展。美国是中国最大的外资来源地之一。截至2006年10月底，美在华累计投资设立企业51,352家，实际对华投入资金超过529亿美元。// 目前，中国已成为美国企业海外利润的主要来源地之一，2005年美在华投资企业实现利润总额约97亿美元。与此同时，美企业通过投资不断扩大在中国市场的占有份额，2005年在中国国内市场的销售额达770亿美元。//近年来，中国政府采取积极措施，推进有实力的中国企业到海外投资，截至2005年底，中国企业海外累计投资额约670亿美元，2005当年达70亿美元。// 与此同时，中国对美投资快速增长，截至2006年10月底，中国企业在美直接投资近30亿美元。目前，美国已成为中国企业“走出去”拓展海外业务的重要目的地之一。// 海尔、华为、中远、中石油、联想等不少中国知名企业在美取得良好业绩的同时，为解决当地就业、促进美国经济与社会发展作出了积极贡献。// 当然，也要看到，作为一个发展中国家，中国企业进行海外投资还缺乏经验。希望中国的企业家们充分学习和借鉴包括美国在内的众多跨国公司海外投资的成功经验，加强对外合作，在开拓国际业务方面取得新的进展。// 最后，再次感谢俄州及克里夫兰市对代表团给予的热情欢迎和周到的安排。感谢中美企业家的积极参与。祝中美贸易投资合作研讨会圆满成功！谢谢大家！//（中华人民共和国商务部副部长马秀红在中美贸易投资合作研讨会上的讲话节选，2006年12月）

二、对话英汉互译，40％，2.5min A: 欢迎光临浙江进出口商品交易会。我是上海技术进出口公司的销售部经理。

请问您对什么产品感兴趣？

B: We are very interested in the auto parts.I’d like to have your lowest quotation, CIF Seattle.If your prices are favorable, I can place the order right away.A: 您一定会觉得我们的价格很优惠。其他地方同类产品的价格最近几年涨幅很大，而我们的价格没有大的变化。

B: I’m glad to hear that.As I have just said, I hope to conclude some substantial business with you.A: 我们也很高兴。约翰斯先生，我们还能为您做点什么？

B: I would like to purchase some machine tools.What do you offer in this line? A: 我们提供各种类型的机床产品。这是上海生产的机床产品目录。

B: I think these are very impressive.Here are our specifications.Could you make us an offer, FOB Seattle? A: 这是我们的离岸价价目单。价格以我们最后确认的为准。

B: What about the commission? We usually get 3％ to 5% commission for imports from other countries.A: 原则上来说，我们不付佣金。但是如果订购量足够大的话可以考虑。

英语口译

B: Why, your prices are unreasonable.They’re almost 30% higher than last year’s.It would be impossible for us to make any sales if you don’t adjust your price.A: 约翰斯先生，您这样说，我很吃惊。您知道近几年劳动力和原材料成本增加了很多。

我们的报价是以成本和合理的利润为依据，不是漫天要价。

B: To my knowledge, many factories have been established to produce machine tools.We only ask that your prices be comparable with others.That’s reasonable, isn’t it? A: 但你们应该意识到我们工厂有多年生产机床产品的经验,所以我们的产品质量是优质的。

如果你们的购买量足够大，我们愿意降价2％。

B: I can’t deny the quality of your product.If that’s the case, there is hardly any need for further discussion.We might as well call the whole deal off.Can’t we find a price that is good for both sides? A: 我的意思是我们不可能把价格降到你方提出的标准。差距太大了。考虑到我们的产品质量，你会发现我们的价格是很有竞争力的。

B: I think it unwise for either of us to insist on his own price.Each will make a further concession so that business can be concluded.A: 那你的想法是？

B: Your unit price is $ 80 higher than we can accept.Mutual efforts would carry us a step forward.I suggest we meet each other half way.A: 你的意思是我们必须削价40美元吗？你们要得太多了，这样的话，我方就无利可图了。B: What do you suggest then? A: 我方最多能接受20美元降价。这是我们的底线了。

B: That will leave a gap of $20.Let us meet each other half way once more, then the gap will be closed and business will be done.A: 你确实很能说服人。好吧。

B: Sounds good.I’m glad that we’ve settled the price at last.

10.happy memory Distinguished Guests, Ladies and Gentlemen，Thank you very much for your gracious welcoming speech.China is one of the earliest cradles of civilization and the visit to this ancient nation has long been my dream.This visit will give me an excellent opportunity to meet old friends and establish new contacts.I wish to say again that I am so delighted and privileged to visit your great country and this lovely town.I am deeply grateful for everything you have done for me since my arrival in China.As an American manager of a Sino-American joint venture for two years, I have to say that there are differences in business management practice between Chinese and Americans.We are more direct and straightforward than most Chinese colleagues due to our different cultural traditions.I can't say our way of doing business is absolutely superior.After all, there are strong points and weak points in both types of management.In recent years, more and more American business executives have recognized the strong points of the more humane way of Chinese management.It is a great pleasure that I can exchange views and information with you, and reach common ground here.And I wish to share with you my thoughts on this topic in the days to come.Thank you!

尊敬的各位来宾，女士们，先生们：

非常感谢你们热情友好的欢迎词。中国是最古老的文明发源地之一，访问这个文明古 国是我多年梦寐以求的愿望。这次访问使我有机会重见老朋友，结交新朋友。我为自己能 访问贵国和这座美丽的城市，再次表达我的愉快之情和荣幸之感。我对你们为我到达贵国 后所做的安排深表谢意。

作为在一家中美合资企业工作了两年的美国经理，我认为中国人和美国人在经营管理 中存在着差异。基于不同的文化传统，我们的美国同事比大部分中国同行来得直率。我无 法断言我们美国的经营方式一定在中国之上。毕竟各有各的优点和弊病。近年来，越来越 多的美国管理人员已经认识到中国人那种更具人情味的管理方式的长处。

很高兴我们能交换意见和信息，并达成共识。我希望在今后的日子里，我能有机会就 此话题与各位交换自己的看法。谢谢!

members of my mission, I would like to take this opportunity to express our sincere thanks to our host for their earnest invitation and gracious hospitality we have received since we set foot on this charming land.I am also very happy that this visit has given me an excellent opportunity to convey to you and to the people of Shanghai warm greetings and sincere good wishes from the government and people of my country.Although we live with a distance of thousands of miles between us, “Long distance separates no bosom friends”, as one of your poets of the Tang Dynasty said.The whole world is watching with great interest in the remarkable changes that are

taking place in China, particularly in Shanghai.To our great amazement, this country boasts a two-decade persistent economic growth, which is unequalled elsewhere in the world.China's miraculous rise as one of the strongest economic powers in the Asian-Pacific region has

attracted, and will continue to attract, a growing number of business, manufacturing and

financial giants in our country to invest in China, particularly to invest in a number of long-

term projects in Shanghai and its surrounding areas.Last but not least, I would like to extend in person our official invitation to the mayor of Shanghai.We would like to invite His Honor to visit our city at his earliest convenience, so as to give us an opportunity to return the warm reception and hospitality we enjoyed here.I greatly cherish the close relationship between our two cities.I also greatly value the

economic recession in recent years, there has been a steady growth in our economic

cooperation and trade volume.It's our sincere wish that we continued to work closely together to enhance our friendly relationship and to ensure a sustained growth in our economic, financial and trade cooperation.On the occasion of this reception, I wish Mr.Mayor and all our Chinese friends present

整个世界都在以极大的兴趣注视着中国，尤其是注视着上海，正在发生的变化。令人惊讶的是，20年来中国经济强劲持续增长，没有哪一个国家可以与其媲美。中国奇迹般的迅速崛起为亚太地区最具实力的经济强国之一，吸引了并将继续吸引越来越的商业、制造业和金融业的巨头来华投资，尤其是在上海及其周边地区的许多长期项目上投资。

我此行的另一项重要任务是向上海市长面呈访问我市的正式邀请，希望市长阁下在其方便的时候尽早访问我市，使我们能有机会回报我们在这里受到的热情款待。

我非常珍惜我们两座城市之间的密切关系。我也非常重视我们作为你们最重要的贸易伙伴之一所享有的地位。尽管近年来世界经济处于不景气的状态，我们之间一直保持经济合作和贸易往来。我们真诚地希望能继续发展我们的友好关系，确保我们在经济、金融和贸易方面的合作持续增长。

Many changes are taking place in American food styles.The United States is traditionally famous for its very solid and unchanging diet of meat and potatoes, Now, in addition to the

traditional home-cooked meal, we have many different alternatives to choose from: such as nutrition-balanced health food, convenient and delicious fast food and so on.Health food gained popularity when people began to think more seriously about their

physical health.Health food includes natural food with minimal processing.Most health food

enthusiasts are vegetarians.They eat no meat and prefer to get their essential proteins from

other sources, such as beans, cheese, and eggs.Fast food can be seen all over the country.Speed is a very important factor in the life of an American.People usually have a short lunch break or they just do not want to waste their time eating.Because fast-food restaurants are places which take care of hundreds of people in a short time, there is usually very little waiting.And the food is always cheap.美国人的饮食习惯正在发生变化。美国人多年来那种丰盛的、一成不变的肉制品加土豆的传统餐，早已为世人所熟知。而今，我们美国人可以有多种不同的选择，除了传统的家常菜外，我们可以享受到各种各样的营养均衡的保健餐，方便可口的快餐等等。

保健食品因人们开始重视自身健康而倍受青睐。保健食品包括那些尽可能不加工的天然食品。大多数热衷于保健食品的人士属素食主义者。他们不吃肉类食物，更愿意从豆类、奶酪和鸡蛋等食物中获取人体所需要的蛋白质。

全国各地到处可见快餐店。速度是美国人生活中一个非常重要的因素。通常人们的午餐休息时间很短，或者人们不愿意在用餐上花费过多的时间。由于快餐店可以在很短的时间里向数以百计的客人供餐，人们通常不用等太久。而且，快餐还很便宜。

going and when.She'll arrange for transportation and hotel through our travel

Interpreter: No, there are maximum per day rates.I'll give you a list.Of course, personal

items aren't covered.And make sure you keep all your receipts.You'll have

to attach them to your expense account when you get back.Jean: Anything else? Interpreter：还有其他的吗?

K|yle：既然你要经常飞行，去申请一张飞行积分卡。积累飞行里程是商务旅行 的额外补贴之一。到时候告诉我你是怎么带着旅行包生活的。

Interpreter: Since you'll be traveling often, apply for a frequent flyer card.Gathering

frequent flyer miles is one of the perks of business travel.And let me know

how you like living out of a suitcase.Packaging

欢迎各位参加“丝绸之路游”。为期两周的游览将成为您一生中最难忘的经历之一。

丝绸之路的历史可以追溯到公元前2世纪。当时一名中国官员、朝廷的使者张骞沿着这

条连接亚欧两大洲的贸易通道出使西域。这条通道源于长安城，一路穿越陕西省、甘肃省境内的河西走廊、新疆的塔里木盆地、帕米尔山区、阿富汗、伊朗、伊拉克以及叙利亚，最后抵达地中海的东岸。全程7，000公里，其中有4，000公里的路段在中国境内。15世纪前的1，000多年里，中国通过这条通道给西域各国带去了丝绸织物、火药、造纸术和印刷术。同时，这条通道也从国外给我们引进了佛教、伊斯兰教以及葡萄、核桃、石榴、黄瓜、玻璃、香水等产品。因为中国丝绸是沿着这条通道进入西方国家的，所以欧洲学者将此道称作“丝绸之路”。

丝绸之路沿途的大批历史文物、引人人胜的自然风景以及富有情趣的地方文化，使

这一长途远游成了世界上最精彩的旅游项目之一。在丝绸之路的中国段，沿线散居着许多热情好客的少数民族，他们对来自世界各地的游客都以礼相待。这里的食物和工艺品不同于中国中部的食物和工艺品。这里的民间传说，如同《天方夜谭》中的一般神奇，听来别有一番情趣。

我社安排的“丝绸之路游”，始于西安古城，止于新疆首府乌鲁木齐，其间我们还要游览兰州、敦煌以及吐鲁番。沿线您可以领略自然景观的魅力，欣赏古代艺术家高超的工艺，品尝地方风味小吃，结识当地居民。这次游览一定会给你留下与家人和朋友共享的美好回忆。

Welcome to the Silk Road Tour.You will find this two-week trip one of your most memorable experiences in your life.The Silk Road dates back to the 2nd century B.C., when a Chinese official and envoy of the royal court Zhang Qian embarked on his business trip to Western Region(a Han Dynasty term for the area west of Yumenguan Pass, including what is now Xinjiang and parts of Central Asia)following the trade road linking Asia and Europe.Originating from Chang'an(present-day Xi'an), the route traversed Shaanxi Province, the Hexi Corridor in Gansu Province, the Tarim Basin in Xinjiang, the Pamir mountain region, Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq and Syria, ending at the eastern shores of the Mediterranean.More than 4,000 of its 7,000 kilometers were in China.For over a thousand years up till the 15th century, China brought its silk cloth and goods, gunpowder, and paper making and printing techniques to the countries in Western Region via this road.This road, in return, introduced into China Buddhism and Islam as well as grapes, walnuts, pomegranates, cucumbers, glass, perfume and other products from the outside world.Because China's silk reached the countries in Western Region along this road, European scholars came to call it “the Silk Road”.A wealth of historical relics, fascinating scenery and interesting local cultures along the Silk Road makes this long trip one of the world's most exciting tourist attractions.Many Chinese ethnic minorities scatter along the Chinese portion of the road, all courteous and hospital to visitors from the rest of the world.The food and crafts in the region are different from those in central China.And the folklore is simply exotic and colorful, just like those fantastic tales in The Arabian Nights.The Silk Road Tour our travel agency offers will start from the ancient city of Xi'an and end at Urumqi, the capital of Xinjiang.The tour will also cover Lanzhou, Dunhuang and Turpan.All along the route, you will take pleasure in the charms of the natural landscape, appreciate the superb workmanship of ancient artists, enjoy local delicacies and meet local people.This trip will certainly give you sweet memories that you will share with your family and friends.Unit 5 II.Phrase Interpreting A

1．可不可以请您谈谈与中国做贸易的经验? 2．项目合同与一般的销售和采购合同有什么区别? 3．您认为取得这样的成绩原因何在?是由于你们的市场战略高明，经营管理好，还是什么别的原因? 4．保险是国际贸易的支柱。国际贸易和保险是并肩发展的。没有保险，世界经济就会处于可悲的境地。5．她精通汉语，在中国法律界和商界很受欢迎。

1.May I ask you to comment upon your experiences of doing business with China? 2.What is the difference between a project contract and an ordinary sales and purchase contract? 3.How do you account for the success? Is it due to marketing strategy, good management or something else? 4.Insurance is the backbone of international trade.International trade and insurance have developed together and without it, we would find the economies of the world in a very sorry state.5.She has a perfect command of the Chinese language, and is very popular with the legal and business circles here.Text A I've heard a saying that went something like, if you stay in a country for three weeks you can write a book, three months a postcard, and three years nothing!I am now faced with this problem.Having lived in China for about five years, I am totally used to daily life here.That shouldn't be something to complain about, right? Adapting to a different society and culture is something to be satisfied with, is it not? Usually it would be.However, it makes writing a column about my impressions of China a lot more difficult.In the West, student life is a combination of study and socializing with a heavy emphasis placed on the socializing part!I was genuinely impressed by the dedication and motivation of Chinese students.When I was a student I would rarely give up my spare time to any activity connected with study.Unless exams were approaching, my weekends were devoted to having fun or perhaps a part-time job.My Chinese students, on the other hand, seemed to spend their entire waking hours studying.I understand that competition in Chinese universities is extremely intense.Nonetheless, their energy and drive put me to shame.It may be true that rote learning is over-emphasized in Chinese education.Nonetheless, I found that this does not reflect the natural character of Chinese students.Given the appropriate classroom atmosphere and a chance to warm up, the students I met were naturally spontaneous and instinctively enjoyed drama.In some of the role-plays we acted out, certain students became so involved in their parts that they were bordering on an identity crisis!Thanks to the politeness and warmth of Chinese students, I conquered my fear of speaking in public and became more self-confident.Most importantly, I met dozens of fine decent people and made numerous excellent friends.我曾经听说过一个谚语，它好像是说如果你在一个国家呆上三礼拜，你能写一本书，如果是三个月，能写一张明信片；而如果是三年的话，就什么也写不出来了!我现在就碰到了这个问题。我在中国已经生活了五年，所以我已经完全适应了这里的日常生活。这可不是什么应该抱怨的事，对吧?融入到一个不同的社会和文化氛围当中是一件值得满足的事情，不是吗?通常情况下是这么回事的。然而，当我负责一个描述我对中国感受的栏目时，这一情况却大大增加了我的写作难度。

在西方社会，学生生活包含学习与社会交往两个部分，而侧重点则是社会交往!中国学生的这种付出和干劲确实给我留下了深深的印象。当我还是一个学生的时候，我几乎不会为了与学习相关的活动而牺牲我的业余时间。除非是为了迎接考试，否则我的周末全都用于玩乐或者用于做兼职。我的中国学生却截然不同，他们似乎是只要不睡觉，就总是在学习。我明白，在中国大学里竞争是极其激烈的。尽管这样，他们的精力和干劲还是使我觉得羞愧。

也许，中国的教育体制确实是过于注重死记硬背的学习方法。尽管如此，我却发现这并没有反映出中国学生的天性。我遇到的这些学生只要拥有一个适当的课堂氛围、获得一个进行热身练习的机会，就会很自然地进行互动，而且不由自主地享受着表演的乐趣。在我们进行一些角色扮演的活动时，有些学生就过于投入他们的角色，以至于他们都快分不清演戏和现实的界限了!

由于中国学生的礼貌和热情，我克服了公开发言的恐惧感，变得自信起来。最为重要的是，我遇到了许多优秀的人并结识了众多要好的朋友。

Coordinating-Field Interpreting Reporter：今天我们的客人是美国通用电气中国公司的总裁麦金泰先生。麦金泰先生1988年6月来到中国，对远东并不陌生。事实上这是他第二次来北京任职。在此之前他也在东京和新加坡工作过。麦金泰先生，欢迎您到我们的录音室来Interpreter: Our guest today is Mr.Charles Mclntyre, President and Chief Representative

of General Electric(USA)China Company.Mr.Mclntyre has been in China

since June 1988, and is no stranger to the Far East.In fact, this is his second

posting to Beijing and he has also worked in Tokyo and Singapore.Welcome

to the studio, Mr.Mclntyre.Melntyre: Thank you.I am pleased to be here to share with your listeners some of my

experience and our company's business activities in China.Interpreter：谢谢。能到这儿来，和您的听众谈谈我的一点经验和我们公司在华业务

活动情况，我感到很高兴。

Reporter：好的。您曾经自我介绍说您是麦金泰先生。您这个中国名字是怎么来

的? Interpreter: Good.You introduced yourself to me earlier as Mr.Mai Jintai.How did you

get your Chinese name?

Mclntyre: Very interesting question.My wife selected the name.She is originally

“Shanghainese” and wanted to make sure I had a good Chinese name.Interpreter：问得很有意思。名字是我妻子给我挑的。她原籍上海，希望我一定得有

个好的中国名字。

Reporter：她的确给您起了个好名字。麦金泰先生，您在美国通用电气公司多少年了? Interpreter: And she's certainly made sure that you have.So how long have you been with

GE, Mr.Mclntyre?

Mclntyre: I have been with GE for over 20 years and had a number of positions in

manufacturing, marketing, sales, strategy planning and new business

development.Interpreter：20多年了。我在生产、市场、销售、战略计划和新业务开发等部门中都

任过职。

Reporter：您在GE的工作时间很长，经验丰富。我们想听听你们公司在90年代的 主要战略。

Interpreter: Your experience in GE has been long and varied.We'd be delighted to hear

what GE sees as its key strategies for the 1990s?

Melntyre: GE is truly a global company in the top ten in the world in market valuation.GE has operations all over the world and is particularly complex in that it is

not a one product company.We have 13 major businesses ranging from aircraft

engines and turbine generators to plastics and appliances.As a goal, we want

each of our businesses to be No.1 orNo.2 in the USA.Our long-term survival

depends on this success as more and more competitors enter the USA market.Achieving and maintaining a No.1 or No.2 market position is also driven by

another factor----our continuing everyday effort to become more and more

productive and efficient to meet our customer needs and to drive our cost

down.We must make the best product in the most productive way.Interpreter：GE确实是个全球性的公司。在市场评估中，它是世界前10名大公司之一。它在全世界范围内进行活动。特别复杂的是，它不是单一产品公司。

我们要经营13种业务，从飞机发动机、涡轮发电机、塑料、一直到各种器械。作为一个目标，我们要求我们每一种业务在美国数一数二。能否做到这一点将决定我们是否能长期存在下去，因为进入美国市场的竞争者越来越多了。另外还有一个因素驱使我们去取得和保持在市场上数一数二的地位，那就是我们每天都在不断设法提高生产能力和效率，以满

足客户的需要和降低成本。我们必须以最高的生产率生产出最优秀的产品。

Reporter：是的，我明白。不过我得说，这是个很大的挑战。你们怎样做到这一点昵? Interpreter: Yes, I understand.But I must say it is quite a bit of challenge.How are you going

to achieve this?

Melntyre: Two answers come to mind.One is that we must listen to our customers.Listen，listen, listen, and then act.Listening and understanding and then performing

are not easy.A second answer is people.Listen to our people.This includes:

opening communications.This means to continue to share with our employees

the strategies and problems of our businesses to get their full participation in

helping develop solutions.Offering challenges and freedoms to do their jobs

without a lot of over management.Cutting layers of management.Layers of

management add cost and hinder communications from top to bottom.For

example, if you have a department with three managers reporting to a General

Manager, we may cut this layer.Interpreter：回答这个问题，我想到两点：一个是我们必须倾听客户的意见。倾听、倾听、倾听，然后行动。听取意见，理解意见，然后采取行动，这并不是一件容易的事。第二个是人的因素。倾听自己职工的意见，其中包括：

广开言路，也就是说，把各公司的战略和所存在的问题告诉自己的职工，让他们充分参与，帮助找出解决问题的办法，在他们的工作上提供各种挑战与自由，管理部门不过多地干预，让他们完成本职工作；减少管理的层次。管理上的层次增加成本，有碍于上下情况的沟通。比如说，有个部门，向一个总经理汇报的有3个经理，我们就可能减少这一层。

Reporter：听取客户的意见，听取职工的意见，可能这就是成功之道吧? Interpreter: Listen to the customers and listen to the employees.These could be the keys

to success, am I right?

Mclntyre: Absolutely.Interpreter：一点不错。

Reporter：GE是什么时候重返中国的?你们过去曾经在中国设过机构，对吗? Interpreter: When did GE re-enter China? You had been in China before, hadn't you? McIntyre: Yes.In 1979, GE re-established its business contact with China through the

opening of representative office in Beijing with additional expansion being

planned.Interpreter：是的，我们1979年与中国重新建立起业务联系，在北京设了代表处，还准备扩大到别的地方。Reporter：外国到中国来投资的人感到最难解决的问题之一是怎样使外汇收支平衡。你们解决这个问题有几个办法，如反向贸易、出口等。我对控股公司的想法特别感兴趣。

Interpreter: One of the most difficult problems for foreign investors in China is balancing

foreign exchange.GE deals with this issue in a number of ways, counter-trade，exports, etc.I am particularly interested in the holding company idea.Mclntyre: To begin with, we feel strongly that the problem of balancing foreign exchange

for foreign investors is an issue that needs to be addressed prior to signing an

investment contract.One way to explore this is to see if there is a market for

exports.There may also be other products made in China that can be exported

to earn foreign exchanges.Interpreter：首先，我强烈地感到，外国投资者外汇收支平衡的问题是在签订投资合同之前就要正视的问题。探索解决这个问题的一个办法是，看看产品有没有出口的市场，也许还有其他的在中国生产的产品可以拿来出口以换取外汇。

Interpreting and Assessment 女士们，先生们，早上好!Good Morning, Ladies and Gentlemen, 今天我来谈谈如何在工作中利用好你的五种资源。每个雇员都有五种可以利用的权力资源。估量自己潜在的权力资源并善用之。

Today, I'm going to talk about how to use the five sources of your power at work.Every employee has five sources of power to draw from.Assess your potential power sources and use them to your advantage.1．个人权力：就是你的魅力、你实现你的信念的激情、你与他人沟通和给人以激励的能力，以及你的领导才能。

1.Personal power is all about your charisma, your passion to achieve the strength of your convictions, your ability to communicate and inspire, and your leadership skills.2．人际关系权力：来自你在工作中所建立、培养和保持的关系网和朋友圈；来自公司内其他部门的同事一使你及时了解他们部门的情况来自公司主管——将特殊项目交由你负责，来自公司内其他人等。2.Relationship power derives from the network of contacts and friends that you make, develop, and maintain at work;from coworkers who keep you up to date with the goings-on in their part of the organization, to executives who seek you out for special projects;and everyone in between.3．职位权力：直接与你在公司组织结构中的地位有关。公司业主、总裁和首席执行官有很大的职位权力，而接待员、办事员或勤杂人员一般没有什么职位权力。

3.Position power is directly related to where you reside on your company's organizational chart.Owners, presidents, and CEOs have plenty of position power, while receptionists, clerks, and laborers typically have little or none.4．知识权力：是你对你的具体工作、你所在部门、机构的某种特殊专长或知识。

4.Knowledge power is based on the special expertise and knowledge that you have of your lob, your departments, or your organization.5．任务权力：存在于分配给你的工作任务中，有些工作其本质上较其他工作对公司的健康发展更为重要。比如说，销售人员，其工作是通过销售产品和服务来为公司赚取利润，他们通常有较高的任务权力。公司的健康发展更为重要。比如说，销售人员，其工作是通过销售产品和服务来为公司赚取利润，他们通常有较高的任务权力。

5.Task power is inherent in the jobs you are assigned at work.Some work is by nature more important to the healthy development of the organization than others.For example, salespeople, whose job is to bring in money by selling products or services, usually have high task power.你可以利用你拥有的任何一种权力资源来建立、充实你另一权力资源。

You can leverage any source of power you have to build your base of power in another source.Sentence Interpreting 1．请您谈一谈中国加入西方八国集团的可能性。2．您如何看待在中国西部地区进行长期投资的前景? 3．您认为应当建立一个什么样的世界新格局? 4．我要提的问题是，中美关系是否处在一个充满危险变数的十字路口? 5．您能阐明一下贵国政府的环保政策吗? 1.Would you comment on the possibility of China's joining of G-8? 2.How do you view the prospects of making long-term investment in China's central and western regions? 3.What in your view would be the kind of new international configuration of power that should be established? 4.My question is, do you believe that Sino-US relations are brought to the crossroads full of risky uncertainties? 5.Could you elaborate on your government policy as regards environmental protection? B: Please take a seat.My name is John Giles.I'm the human resource manager.A：你好。我叫陈刚。谢谢你约见我。

B: How do you do? My name is Chen Gang.Thank you for agreeing to see me.B: Right then.Could I start by asking when you graduated from university? B: I'm a senior student now.I will be graduating from the university in June.A：我现在是大四学生，今年六月份毕业。B: I see.And what's your major? A：我是计算机系软件专业的学生。

B: I'm in the Computer Science Department, majoring in Software Engineering.B: So how did you hear about us? A：我读大一的时候就知道你们公司，希望毕业后能有机会成为公司的一员。

B: I heard about your company in my first year at university, and I've been hoping to join you ever since.B: That's very interesting.And what sort of job did you have in mind? What do you have to offer us? A：我可以编程，也可以做销售，我在大学里就有不少销售经验。我设计的软件还获过。

奖。

B: I can do programming or sales promotion.I won a prize for some software I developed, and I have a lot of experience of sales during my time at university.B: I'm afraid we don't have any vacancies in sales or in programming.However, we are looking for people for customer support.How would you feel about that? A：没问题。我擅长与人沟通。那我什么时候上班呢? B: No problem.I'm a good communicator.When would it be possible for me to start? Unit 6 I.You are going to hear a short passage about advertising.Listen to the passage carefully and note down what you hear.Pay attention to the structure of your notes.Then interpret your notes in the target language.Advertising

Advertising reaches people through various forms of mass media.These media include

newspapers, magazines, television, radio and posters and hoardings.Advertisers buy space in newspaper and magazines to publish their advertisements.They buy time on television and radio to broadcast their commercials.One of the many advantages of newspapers is that most adults read a daily newspaper, and many of them specifically check the advertisements for information about products, services, or special sales.Magazines are usually read in a leisurely manner and are often kept for weeks or months before being discarded.One of the main advantages of television to advertisers is that it brings sight, sound and action directly to consumers in their homes.An advantage of advertising on radio is that people can listen to programs while doing other things, like driving their cars or working at home.II.Phrase Interpreting

Put the students into pairs and ask them to do the activity.Have one student read the following sentences and the other interpret them one by one.When the students have finished, ask

them to compare their sentences with the reference.A.1.Along with China's entry into the WTO and more businesses going international, English advertisement has gradually become a major tool for enterprises to promote exportations and to develop foreign markets.2.Advertising can incorporate controversial political tones, social tones, partial nudity, etc.to capture the attention of consumers and entice them to make a purchase.3.Vacuum cleaner of this brand is competitive in the international market and it is the best-selling product of the same kind.4.The computer we produced is characterized by its high quality, compact size, energy saving qualities and is also easy to operate.5.With the rapid development of world economy, newspapers, magazines and television companies are dependent on advertising for a large part of their income.1．随着我国加入WTO以及对外经济交往迅速加深与扩大，英语广告已逐渐发展成为企业促进出口销售，开拓海外市场的一个主要手段。

2．广告可以利用有争议的政治话题、社会话题作由头宣传自己，也可以直截了当地推销自己的产品以抓住消费者的注意力，引导他们购买产品或服务。

3．这种牌子的吸尘器在国际市场上颇具竞争力，是同类产品中最畅销的。4．我们生产的电脑具有品质好，体积小，节省能源的特点，而且易学好用。5．随着世界经济的发展，报纸，杂志和电视台的大部分收入便取决于广告。B．

1．如果广告的写作者只是简单地把国内成功的广告翻译成英文，往往不会成功。2．作为中国最重要的汽车展之一，“2006年中国汽车展”将于六月在北京国际展览中心举行。3．互动电视提供了崭新的视听空间，集娱乐、购物、营销和广告于一体。4．在英国，电视上广告必须服从严格的规定。

5．我们的产品具备了您所需要的各项特色，而且比日本产品便宜20％，所以我们向您极力推荐。1.If the advertisers simply translate the successful ads at home into English, it is quite likely that they will not succeed.2.As one of the most important auto shows in China, China Auto 2006 will be held in June at the China International Exhibition Center, Beijing 3.Interactive TV moves television into an entirely new medium combining entertainment, shopping, marketing and advertising.4.Advertising on British television is subject to strict regulations.5.As our product has all the features you need and is 20% cheaper than that of Japanese product, I strongly recommend it to you.Text A

All ads want you to like the product.Even very informative ads can be delivered in such a way as to have human appeal and interest.For instance, a print ad for a luxury car, if it shows two ear engines side by side, a full cocktail glass on each, one vibrating and one still, then your attention is immediately captured.The copy or the wording, then explains that this is the way the smoothness of a BMW engine is tested before it leaves the factory.The ad is informative, technical and yet has a human touch.Also clients and agencies will try to develop a personality for the brand of their products so that the customer will come to like the personality and feel it's a friend and therefore become a loyal purchaser of that brand only.Well, let me give you an example.You know how fond the British are of animals, especially dogs and cats, well, Andrex is a well-known brand of toilet paper and it always uses a golden-colored puppy in its ads.Usually a little scene is shown.It could be that the puppy is playing with the toilet roll in the upstairs bathroom, and wraps himself up in it and runs downstairs, unrolling the paper behind him right through the kitchen and into the garden.The setting is always a clean and bright house, the puppy is sweet and soft and his mischievousness endears him immediately to all the viewers.We enjoy watching the story and the puppy, and the message comes across that this product is strong, long and soft.We start to associate the puppy ads with the name Andrex.所有的广告都希望你喜欢它的产品。即使是信息性很强的广告，也可以做得很有人情味、富有情趣。比方说，有个豪华小汽车的图片广告，上面两个汽车发动机并列，每个发动机上摆着一满杯鸡尾酒，一个酒杯摇摇晃晃，另一个酒杯纹丝不动。这就立刻引起你的注意。于是广告文字就告诉你，宝马牌的发动机出厂前就是用这种办法来检验它的平稳性能的。这是一份属于信息性和技术性的广告，但却有人情味。此外，客户和广告公司还想方设法使产品的牌子带有一种个性，使消费者对这种个性产生好感，感到亲切，从而变成只买这个牌子的忠实买主。

我来给您举个例子吧。您知道，英国人很喜爱动物，特别是狗和猫。Andrex是一种名牌卫生纸。它总是用一只金色的小狗做广告，往往还给你来个小小的表演。比如说，那只小狗在楼上浴室里玩卫生纸卷，把自己给缠住了，它往楼下跑，纸卷打开了，拖在它的后边，它经过厨房，一直跑到花园里。背景是一套整洁明亮的房子。小狗柔顺可爱，它这些小淘气动作立刻受到了广大观众的喜爱。我们喜欢观看这段情节和小狗，同时也得到了这样一个信息：这种纸质地坚韧，又长又软。于是我们便开始把Andrex这个牌子和小狗广告联系了起来。

IV.Coordinating--Field Interpreting Zhang：现在我们来谈谈广告。我们每天都看到广告，可是我们当中没几个人了解广告是怎么制作的。Interpreter: Now let's talk about advertising, for it's something we all encounter daily, but

few of us know much about how it is put together.Pamela: OK, where shall we start? Interpreter：好吧。从哪儿谈起呢?

zhang：您是客户经理，您不妨先谈谈什么叫做客户业务经理。

Interpreter: You are an account director.Why don't you explain what that actually means?

Pamela: An agency is divided into three main sections: One is the media department，which advises and plans which newspapers, magazines or television stations

a client should use and also buys the space or TV time for the client.The

creative department: This is possibly the most important section of the agency，I suppose, as here you would find the copywriters and artists who actually

create the ads.And then there is the account service department, which is

where I fit in.Interpreter：一个广告公司分为3个部门。第一个是宣传媒介部。它负责向客户建议在哪家报刊、杂志或者电视台刊登广告，做出计划，并且代客户购买报刊版面或电视播放时间。第二个是创意部。我想这可能是广告社里最重要的部门。在这里，你可以见到实际创造广告的撰稿人员和美术家。还有就是适合我本人工作的account服务部。

zhang：你是说你管财务? Interpreter: Does that mean you handle the finances?

Pamela: No, no!Not at all.“Account” in this context simply means client.So an account

director is responsible for all the business with possible 2, 3 or 4 clients，depending on how big the clients are.Interpreter：不，不是那样。“account”这个词在这里是客户的意思。客户业务经理负责两三个或者四个客户，数目可根据客户大小而定。

Zhang：看来你们客户服务部是广告社直接与客户接头的单位了? Interpreter: So the account service people are the direct contact between the agency and

the client?

Pamela: Exactly.My job is to ensure that the work being produced is giving the right

message to the right people, and that it is within budget.When we are starting

a new advertising campaign--and by campaign, I mean a series of adverts, it

is my responsibility to get as much information from the client as possible

and then to convey this to the creative department in the form of a creative

brief.Interpreter：对。正是这样。我的工作是保证所做的广告针对性很强，把恰当的信息传达给恰当的对象，开支则要在允许的范围内。要开始新的广告计划的时候，所谓广告计划就是一整套的广告宣传，我的任务就是向客户尽可能多地了解情况，然后通过创意小结的形式把这些情况转达给创意部门。zhang：客户怎样帮助你做好这项工作呢? Interpreter: How can the client help you to achieve this?

Pamela: Well, the client wants to, of course, get the best work from his agency in terms

of ads that are effective, meet the marketing strategy, full of impact, and

increase the market share of the product.But to enable us to achieve this, the

client should have done some thorough research before he briefs us.We will

need to know not just all about the product, but what the advertising is supposed to achieve, who exactly the product is aimed at, so that we know which part of the general public we are talking to--is it teenagers, housewives aged between 25 to 35, or professional women over 30, etc.? Also we must know what the client wants to spend on the commercial, because this will determine whether

we use TV or print, black and white or color, etc.Interpreter：客户自然要求广告社为他做出最好的广告，既要宣传得力，符合他开拓市场的战略要求，又要富于感染力，有助于增加他的产品的市场份额。要使我们达到这些要求，他在向我们介绍情况之前，得先做些深入调查。我们不仅需要了解有关产品的各种情况，还要知道做广告想收到什么效果，产品销售对象是些什么人，这样我们才能知道要针对哪一部分人做广告，是13岁到19岁的少男少女，25岁到35岁的家庭主妇，还是30岁以上的职业妇女?究竟是哪些人?我们还需要知道客户愿意在这份商业广告上花多少钱，因为这将决定我们是采用电视还是图片做广告，是黑白两色还是彩色等等。

zhang：看来你们在着手写广告或者设计广告之前就有很多工作要做。Interpreter: So there is a lot of work to be done before you can even start to write or design

an ad?

Pamela: Yes, once you know what you want to achieve, who your ad is talking to, how

much you can spend and the kind of advertising campaign you are going to

run, then you can recommend a media plan to the client.Interpreter：是的。在知道广告的目的要求、宣传对象、可以花多少钱、拟采取的广

告计划的类别以后，我们就向客户推荐一个传播计划。

Zhang：广告计划都有哪些类别?每个广告计划都是为了推销一种产品吗? Interpreter: What different kinds of campaigns are there? The object of every campaign is

to sell lust one product, isn't it? Pamela: Not always.Sometimes a company will wish to build its corporate image--

particularly a service company like a bank.They may feel that people are not

aware of their company enough, or do not have a strong idea of what sort of

company it is.Interpreter：并不总是这样。有时候公司希望树立自己的企业形象。特别是像银行这样的服务性公司。他们可能觉得人们对他们公司注意得不够，或者对他们是个什么样的公司印象不深。

zhang：看来这个广告计划做得很成功。我总认为做广告关键的一点是要动之以情。Interpreter: So it's been a successful campaign, I've always understood that one of the

key factors in making an ad is to appeal to people's emotions.Pamela: Yes.Interpreter：是的。

与印刷和广播广告费用相比，网络广告费用仅仅是一小部分。虽然网络广告尚处在初期，但是它的收益正日益快速增长。网络的定向和跟踪能力有可能使它成为广告主的最佳广告媒体。

定向性。网络广告主具有全新的定向能力。他们可以对某个特定的公司、区域或国家的用户进行广告定向，也可以定时通过计算机平台的浏览器进行定向服务。在不久的将来，广告主可以基于用户的偏好对其网络广告进行定向，这一点是其他广告工具做不到的。

可跟踪性。商家可以跟踪用户对其品牌的反应，并了解现有顾客和潜在顾客的兴趣。例如，汽车制造商可以跟踪用户进入网站，判断是否有越来越多的用户对某款车型的安全信息及其附加性能等感兴趣。广告主也可以通过广告点击次数来准确评估人们对广告的反应。传统的电视、印刷和公告牌广告很难做到这一点。

可投递性和灵活性。网络广告可以全年全天24小时实时传送，并且广告活动可以随时发起、更新或取消。广告主可以每天跟踪广告进程，当注意到广告在第一周里反应寥寥无几时，第二周即可将该广告换掉。这与印刷广告有很大的不同，通常印刷广告要等到新版发行物出版后才能更换，而在电视上频繁更换广告的成本则高得令人生畏。

交互性。广告主的目的是想通过一个品牌或—种商品来吸引潜在的顾客。这可以有效地在网上实现。在网上，消费者可以与商品互动，对其测试，如果愿意还可以直接购买。例如，一则软件广告可以直接将用户带到演示场所，用户可以下载并进行测试。如果用户喜欢该软件，便可以当场买下。没有其他媒体能够提供如此直接、方便的接触。

Though online advertising spending is a mere fraction of what is spent on print and broadcast ads, its revenue is increasing significantly for a medium still in its infancy.As mentioned, the Web's targeting and tracking capabilities have the potential to make it one of the most responsive media available to advertisers.Targetability.Web advertisers have an entirely new range of targeting capabilities.They can focus on users from specific companies, geographical regions and nations, as well as by time of day, computer platform, and browser.In the near future, advertisers will be able to target much of their Web advertising based on users' preferences—something other advertising vehicles can't do.Tracking.Marketers can track how users interact with their brands and learn what is of interest to their current and prospective customers.For example, a car manufacturer can track how a user progresses through its site to determine whether more users are interested in the safety information or the “extras” that come with a particular model.Advertisers can also precisely measure the response to an advertisement through the number of times an ad is clicked on, which is difficult to do with traditional television, printing and boards.Deliverability and flexibility.An online ad is delivered in real time 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.Furthermore, an ad campaign can be launched, updated, or canceled immediately.An advertiser can follow a campaign's progress daily notice that a campaign is generating very little response in the first week, and replaced by week two, a big difference from print, where an ad cannot be changed until a new edition of the publication is published;and on TV, the costs of making frequent changes are prohibitive.Interactivity.An advertiser's goal is to engage the prospect with a brand or product.This can be done more effectively on the Web, where a consumer can interact with the product, test the product, and, if she or he chooses to, buy the product.For example, an advertisement for software can take a user directly to the location where a demo can be downloaded and tested.If the consumer likes the software he or she can purchase it right then and there.No other medium offers such immediate and easy accessibility.Unit 7 I.Listen to a short passage “Shopping for Clothes” carefully and note down what you hear.Try to use some symbols and abbreviations when you are taking notes.Then interpret your notes in the target language.Shopping for Clothes

Shopping for clothes is not the same experience for a man as it is for a woman.A man goes shopping because he needs something.His purpose is settled and decided in advance.He knows what he wants, and his objective is to find it and buy it;the price is a secondary consideration.All men simply walk into a shop and ask the assistant for what they want.If the shop has it in stock, the salesman promptly produces it, and the business of trying it on proceeds at once.All being well, the deal can be and often is completed in less than five minutes, with hardly any chat and to everyone's satisfaction.For a man, slight problems may begin when the shop does not have what he wants, or does not have exactly what he wants.Now how does a woman go about buying clothes? In almost every respect she does so in the opposite way.Her shopping is not often based on needs.She has never fully made up her mind what she wants, and she is only “having a look round”.She is always open to persuasion;indeed she sets great store by what the saleswoman tells her, even by what companions tell her.She will try on any number of things.Uppermost in her mind is the thought of finding something that everyone thinks suits her.Contrary to a lot of jokes, most women have an excellent sense of value when they buy clothes.They are always on the lookout for the unexpected bargain.Faced with a roomful of dresses, a woman may easily spend an hour going from one rail to another, to and fro, often retracing her steps before selecting the dresses she wants to try on.It is a laborious process, but apparently an enjoyable one.Most dress shops provide chairs for the waiting husbands.II.Phrase Interpreting A

Thank you for that kind introduction, Mr.Chairman.I'm very pleased to be able to talk to you today about changes in the four sales areas and how your company can benefit from these changes.If you have any questions during my talk, please stop me and ask.The main thing I want to say is that all companies must be ready for continuous change, and prepared to meet those changes.If you look at the screen, you can see the changes in our sales composition over the last ten years.The left side shows the four major sales areas: industrial machinery, robots, computers and, at the bottom home appliances.As you can see on the graph, the percentage of sales in two areas, namely, industrial machinery and home appliances, has decreased since 2003.For example, if you look on the right, you can see industrial machinery sales have decreased from 39 to 29 percent and home appliances have declined from 42 to 28 percent.On the other hand, sales of robots and computers have increased.The rise in robot sales has been especially sharp.Here is 2003:4 percent;2004:9 percent;2005:16 percent.谢谢主席先生的热情介绍。今天我非常高兴能在这里谈谈四个销售领域的变化，以及贵公司是如何在这些变化中获利的。假如在我讲话过程中您有什么问题，请随时打断我。

我今天主要谈的是所有的公司都将面对持续的变化并要为这些变化做好准备。请看屏幕，你们会发现我们过去十年销售结构的变化。左边显示的是四个主要销售领域：工业机械、机器人、计算机以及末尾的家用电器。正如您在表格上所看到的，工业机械和家用电器这两个领域的销售百分比从2003年开始下降。

比如说，请看右边，工业机械的销售额从39％下降到29％，家用电器从42％下降到28％。而另一方面，机器人和电脑的销售额却上升了，机器人销售额的上升尤其明显，2003年是4％；2004年9％, 2005年16％。

IV.Coordinating--Field Interpreting Question 1：您似乎完全忽视了高层管理职位被男性垄断这一问题。难道您不觉得您的结果完全是基于在美国公司的高层职位几乎没有女性这一事实吗? Interpreter: You seem to have completely ignored the question of male domination of top

management posts.Don't you think your results are almost entirely due to the

fact that there are practically no women in senior positions in American

companies?

Answer: I think that's a very interesting point.I'm afraid I didn't have time to address

the question of gender itself, because I was mainly concentrating on the question of management style.However, I feel sure that this aspect would be worth discussing at length on another occasion.Interpreter：我认为您的问题很有意思。恐怕我没时间来回答关于性别的问题，因为我今天主要是讲管理方式的问题，我肯定这方面的问题将值得在另外的场合进一步讨论。

Question 2：史密斯先生，假如您不介意的话，能否告诉我们，被调查者是如何评定那些诸如“个人主义”这样非常难的概念的? Interpreter: Mr.Smith, if you don't mind me asking, could you tell us how the respondents

assessed difficult concepts such as individualism?

Answer: Of course, I suppose you're referring to the second survey I mentioned? Well,I'll just check if I may...yes...as I thought, we used the Belbin personality

test in order to position respondents.I think that you'll find that this is a fairly

standard psychological test for such management surveys.Are there any more questions you would like to ask about the trial? Interpreter：当然，我想您是在说我提到的第二个观测吗?哦，我查一下„„我想我们用的是Belbin个性测试方法来定位我们的被调查者的。我认为你会发现对于这种管理调查来说它是一个相当标准的心理测试系统。还有别的有关实验方面的问题吗?

Question 3：史密斯先生，我想问一下你们的观察是如何建立的?是否采用监控小组的形式? Interpreter: Mr.Smith, could I ask you how the surveys were set up? You know, did they

use a control group?

Answer: I'm afraid that's really outside my field.I myself was not involved in carrying

out the surveys.However, I can give you the references afterwards, if they

would be helpful.Interpreter：恐怕这不是我研究的领域。我本人并没有参加这些观测。可是我等会儿会给你一些参考资料，假如它们对您有帮助的话。

下午好，感谢光临。今天下午我想谈谈质量监控在服务业的重要性。

Good afternoon.Thank you for coming.This afternoon I’d like to talk about why I believe quality control is important in the service industry.质量控制在传统上一直被用于制造业，而且使产量和利润都有所提高。然而在我们称为的服务行业中却没有被广泛使用。我今天的主要论点就是质量监控在服务行业也将产生良好的效果并有助于提高顾客满意度。

Quality control has traditionally been used in manufacturing, and has greatly improved productivity and profitability.It has not, however, been used vastly in the so-called service industries.My main point is that quality control can also be effective in these industries and will result in greatly improved customer satisfaction.我演讲的第一部分将对质量监控的历史稍做讲解，然后，我将解释什么是质量监控以及它是如何运作的。最后，我还要向大家展示它是如何被运用于各种商务活动的，无论是制造业还是与服务相关的行业。在我演讲结束后，我将很乐于回答诸位的问题。

In the first part of my presentation, I'll talk a little bit about the history of quality control, then I'll go on to describe what quality control is and how it works.Finally, I'll show you how it can be applied to any business, whether manufacturing or service-related.At the end of the presentation I'll be happy to answer any questions.A.Sentence Interpreting

1.We're very honored to have the opportunity of making this presentation to you.2.If you have any questions, please feel free to interrupt at any time.3.I don't think you should miss this opportunity to update your equipment.4.Let me assure you that the computer you are buying is the best in the market.5.I don't want to sound pushy, but this is a great deal and I think you should go for it.1．非常荣幸有机会给你们作陈述报告。2．如果有任何问题，请随时打断我。3．我认为你不应错过这个更新设备的机会。4．我保证你现在买的电脑是市场上最好的。

女士们，先生们：

欢迎各位参加“货运系统”公司一年一度的股东大会。今天，我们除了选举下一的新董事以外，还要投票表决几项提案。下面我先简要介绍这几个提案，后面的几位发言人将会作具体的说明。

l

我们今天要讨论的第一个议题，是本公司在促进本省主要港口设备的扩展上应扮演什么角色，而不是在西海岸开发新运站。另一个议题和第一个议题密切相关，即我们现有港口的维护水准在不断下滑和这种情形会如何影响我们计划运货的能力的问题，午餐后我们会重点讨论持续性的劳工不稳定及其对我们所造成的威胁。在下午会议结束投票选举干部以前，还要最后讨论一项由日本一家大公司所提议的友好并购本公司的议案。在今晚的酒宴里，我们请到了一位来宾，他将就人们对新加坡新的港口设备应有何预期、以及对本地商情会有何影响向我们发表演说。

l

摆在我们前面的。将是忙碌的一天。因此我将把主席台转给大会秘书，他将在我们开始讨论其他问题以前，先宣读去年的大会记录，并提出今年的财政报告。感谢各位参加这次会议，我们相信，有了各位的继续支持，本公司将持续保持健康和活力。

Ladies and Gentlemen:

I want to welcome you to the annual stockholder meeting of Container Systems.Along with electing new board members for next year, we must also vote today on several proposals which I will outline here, and will be given in-depth treatment by the remaining speakers.The first item we will discuss today focuses on the role our company should take in promoting expansion of the main port facilities in our province, as opposed to development of a new site on the west coast.Closely related to this is the issue of declining standards of maintenance at the existing ports and how this affects our ability to move freight on schedule.Continued labor unrest and the threat that it brings will be the focus of the sessions after lunch.Discussion of a friendly takeover offered by a large Japanese firm will be the last order of business before we begin to vote for officers at the end of the afternoon sessions.Tonight at the banquet, we have a guest speaker who will tell us all about what to expect from the new port facilities in Singapore, and how that will affect the business climate here.We have a very busy day ahead of us, so I'll turn the podium over to the secretary, who will read the minutes from last year's meeting, and present this year's financial report, before we move on to the discussions of the other issues.Thank you for attending this meeting and we know that with your continued support, we will remain a healthy and dynamic company.Unit 8 Listen to a speech “Sleep and Stress” and try to note down its main ideas.Then retell the passage with the aid of your notes.Sleep and Stress

Sleep experts believe that stress and lack of sleep are directly related.Dr.Henry Winkle，in an article entitled “Stress and Sleep”, says: “The more we worry, the less we sleep, the

more we are unable to deal with stress.If we can find a way to get a good night's sleep, we

can often find the energy to deal with what's worrying us.”

So, what is a good night's sleep? Research shows that the amount of sleep which people need to keep healthy varies a lot.Seven hours is about the average amount, though strangely enough, sleeping longer often gives you a headache instead of making you feel more refreshed.Dr.Winkle also points out that preparing for sleeping is important.People who work late should try to give themselves a short break and do something restful before going to bed.This could be watching TV or listening to music.A bedtime drink can also help, but coffee or tea should be avoided as they contain caffeine and will keep you awake.“When you put out the light,” Dr.Winkle says, “concentrate on relaxing your muscles starting from your feet, and you will be asleep before you know it.” Phrase Interpreting A

The term “multinationals” is used for companies that have subsidiaries or sales facilities throughout the world.Another expression for this type of business enterprise is “global corporation”.Many of these enterprise giants are household names such as Coca Cola, IBM，Samsung, General Motors, Toyota and Wal-Mart.Companies like these control vast sums of

money and they operate in countries with widely differing political and economic systems.In earlier times, most developing countries gave the multinationals a “red carpet” welcome because the governments of these countries saw such foreign investment as creating much-needed employment, stimulating the business sector generally, and possibly earning foreign currency if the company's products were exported.The rise of the Asian economy as a whole, and the rapid growth Of China's economy since the 1980s have proved to some extent that the availability of cheap labor in most developing countries has been luring many companies into building new factories filled assembly plants there．

In recent years，however，the tide has turned against the multinationals．They are now viewed by many countries with suspicion，for example，whether multinationals are harming their national interests．Some developing countries，in particular，have felt uneasy and have become concerned about their dependence on foreign investment in key sectors of their economy．They have become aware mat foreign subsidiaries often take most of their profits out of me country rather than reinvest them in the company．Sometimes the flow of funds causes disastrous fluctuations in the exchange rates of their currencies．

“跨国公司”一词用来描述在世界各地设有分公司或者销售机构的公司。对这一类企业的另一个叫法是“国际公司”。许多这样的大型企业现在已是家喻户晓，人人皆知，如：可口可乐、商用机器、三星、通用汽车、丰田和沃尔玛超市。这些公司掌握着大量的金钱，并在政治和经济体制很不相同的国家中从事生产和经营。

早些时候，大多数的发展中国家给予跨国公司红地毯般的待遇，因为这些国家的政府认为外国投资能够创造急需的就业机会，从整体上刺激企业界；如果它们的产品可以外销的话甚至还能赚取外汇。亚洲的经济的整体崛起以及自80年代以来中国经济的快速增长都从某种程度上证明了在大多数发展中国家容易获得的廉价劳动力资源一直以来就吸引着许多公司前来建立新工厂和流水线。

但是，近年来，形势开始对跨国公司不利。许多国家用怀疑的眼光看待它们，比如，跨国公司是否损害了他们国家的利益。一些发展中国家，已经开始感到不安和担忧，因为这些国家经济中的某些重要领域过多地依赖外国投资。他们已经意识到外国的分公司通常把大部分的利润带走，而并不是把它们留下再投资。有时，资金的流动甚至造成本币汇率灾难性地大幅波动。Qq;1157740787

Unit 1 美国人的生活方式

Background knowledge Why American Culture is Unique American culture is unique because it is nurtured, formed and developed under certain conditions, which are characteristically American.The major factors contributing to the making of this new nation and the forming of a new culture are the hard environment, ethnic diversity(多民族)and plural religion, which is quite different from other nations in the world.What is more, these elements are still influencing the American culture.1.Rough Environment The early immigrants who were English Puritans settled down in northeast part of American.The environment there was very rough but they believed the poor land could purify their mind so they chose the place along the coast.From 1607 to 1892, frontiers were pushed further west.The American frontier consisted of the relatively unsettled regions of the United States, usually found in the western part of the country.The frontiersmen looked for a land of rich resources and a land of promise, opportunity and freedom.Actually they looked for a better life.So individualism, self-reliance, and equality of opportunity have perhaps been the values most closely associated with the frontier heritage of American.2.Ethnic Diversity

The population of the United States includes a large variety of ethnic groups coming from many races, nationalities, and religions.People refer to the United States as “melting pot ”and the dominant people are British.American is made up of WASP+MM, that is, White, Anglo Saxon, Protestants plus Middle Class and Male.In history, people from different countries in the world rushed to American three times.They brought their own culture to America and later on different cultures were mixed together.Thus the unique American culture is formed, a common cultural life with commonly shared values.3.Plural Religion The fundamental American belief in individual freedom and the right of individuals to practice their own religion is at the center of religious experience in the United States.The great diversity of ethnic backgrounds has produced religious pluralism;almost all of the religions of the world are now practiced in the United States.Christianity(基督教)is the dominant religion in American and Protestant(新教)is predominate(主导).Any individuals are equal before God and they believe they can communicate directly to God so they can share the same idea.Under the protestant, many new ones are formed and different explanations produce different sects of religion.Churches are independent and American religion is no longer religion seculars.The institution permits the practice of religion and the political power is separate form religion.So there are more religions in America than in other countries.4.Current Influence Nowadays, we can see the continual influence of the three elements in the current American society.American family is typically parents and their unmarried children.Middle-aged and elderly people generally do not live with their married children.Many Americans live in mobile homes which are built with wheels.They can be moved.The people in American have a very strong desire to start a new life in a new place.Quite a number of people change residences every year.The average American moves fourteen times in his lifetime.The courage to try something new has been an American characteristic.American democracy means majority rule, but it also means protection of minority rights.There is certain freedom which the United States promises to all its citizens and members of minority group cannot be denied these rights by a vote of the majority.Americans also like to be involved in many challenging activities and sports to show their adventurous spirits.All of these are affected by the heritage of the American history.From the facts above, we can see American culture is unique which was cultivated, formed and developed by the main three factors, rough environment, ethnic diversity and plural religion and still is affected and determined by them now.Reading Skill Focus 1.C Clue：首先，第一句话表明说话人对于后面发生的事情感到非常惊讶。从第二句话中，我们明白了“当我们正在谈话时，彼得很唐突地（abruptly）转身离开了房间”，这就是说话人为什么感到吃惊的原因。选项中最接近这个意思的应该是C项。2.D Clue：通过后面句子中的解释“because we had so many apples”，推测出“苹果大丰收”，因此可以猜出“abundant”的意思是“丰富的，大量的”，正确答案是D项。3.B Clue：通过前面句子设定的背景（when Sara was sick），再加上后面句子的描述（We couldn’ t hear what she was trying to say），很显然，Sara说话的声音很轻，B项为正确答案。

4.D Clue：从后面的句子“我们不得不推车步行上山”，可以分析出“山势陡峭”，应该是难以攀爬（too arduous to climb），所以应选择D项。5.B Clue：从后面的句子中可以找到“the lost ships”，这与前面一句话的意思相近，因此可以推测出“vanish”是“消失，突然不见”的意思。

6.D Clue：从后面句子的解释中，我们可以了解到“我的父亲是一位成功的商人、运动员、作家和跑车修理工”，显然地，这位父亲是很有才能的（talented）人，而且多才多艺（versatile）。

7.A Clue：前面两句话中传达了这样的信息：乔治先生在77岁时，仍然可以从事多种体育运动，这说明他是一位非常健壮（extremely robust）的老人，所以最恰当的答案是选项A。

8.D Clue：根据常识，在空难（air crash）中生还的可能性一般很小，所以，“医生”表达的意思应该是“乘客幸存的希望渺茫（only a slim hope of survival）”。

9.B Clue：根据自然方面的常识，乌云、雷电交加表明暴风雨“即将来临（imminent）”。10.D

Clue：在该句中，非常重要的线索就是“strike”这个词。“在工人罢工期间，他们只能推迟（suspend）桥梁的建造。”所以，正确的答案应该是选项D。

美国人的婚礼 美国居住着各种各样的人，他们的婚礼也千差万别。有热闹庄重的教堂婚礼；有在山顶上举行的婚礼，客人们光脚相伴登高；也有在海底举行的婚礼，客人们戴着氧气罐跟着下水。但婚礼无论在哪儿举行或怎样举行，总有一些既定的传统风俗。在举行婚礼前新人要订婚，然后给邻居、好友及远方亲戚发放请帖。当一切准备就绪，最激动人心的时刻就来到了。婚礼本身通常持续20到40分钟。新人伴着《婚礼进行曲》进入教堂。新娘手持一束鲜花由她的父亲挽着最后进来，父亲要把女儿“交给新郎”。而新郎则要从侧门进入教堂。当新人走到教堂的圣坛前时，新娘和新郎彼此宣誓。传统的结婚誓言是：“我发誓，从今往后，不论境遇好坏、家境贫富、生病与否，我们都相亲相爱，至死不分离。”宣誓过后，新郎新娘交换戒指。按照古老的风俗，通常把戒指戴在左手无名指上。仪式

过后，通常会有宴会，叫“喜宴”（婚宴）。宴会上参加婚礼的客人会祝福新婚夫妇。新郎新娘乘坐汽车离开教堂，汽车上装饰着气球、彩带、喷彩条之类的东西。“新婚燕尔”几个字写在汽车的行李箱上或后玻璃窗上。新娘新郎从客人撒下的彩色纸屑中跑向汽车。小两口儿开车离开教堂时，朋友们常常开车追赶他们，不停地按喇叭来吸引别人对他们的注意。然后小两口儿就去度蜜月了。

Notes 1.(para.3)The bride carrying a bouquet enters last with her father who will “give her away”.“give her away”（在举行婚礼时）把新娘交给新郎。

2.(para.3)“to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and cherish, till death do us part”“.till death do us part”至死不分离（英语婚礼誓言中沿袭下来的固定用法，不用does）

3.(para.4)When the couple drives away from the church, friends often chase them in cars, honking and drawing attention to them.“When the couple drives away from the church” 是句子的时间状语，句子的主语是friends，谓语是chase，in cars 是方式状语，“honking and drawing attention to them”是伴随状语.Language points 1.wedding reception: a party to celebrate the marriage ceremony of two people e.g.From vaunted Napa Valley wineries to vistas along Lake Tahoe, California couples have booked up thousands of churches and wedding reception sites hoping to begin wedded bliss on the lucky date of 7/7/07.从闻名遐迩的葡萄酒产地纳帕溪谷到美丽的塔霍湖畔，加利福尼亚州几千所教堂和婚宴地已被预订，新人们希望2007年7月7日这一吉日能给他们的婚姻带来幸福。在商务英语中“reception”指外事接待，常见的词组有“business reception”（商务宴会），“welcome reception”（欢迎晚宴）等。

E.g.They’re for a business reception at the end of the month.他们在本月底前来参加一个商务宴会。He will arrive here at 10 a.m.and please attend the welcome reception for him at 10:15.他将在商务10点钟到达。请大街10点15分出席为他举行的欢迎会。

Comprehension Check Part 1 — 3 — 8 — 2 — 1— 4 — 7 — 6 Part 2 1.B Clue：“before”引导的从句设定了 “在一对男女结婚之前”这样的背景，那么我们就可以据此猜出选项中最恰当的应该是B项，即“他们正式同意与对方结婚”，也就是“订婚”（become engaged）。

2.D Clue：根据常识，新娘在结婚仪式上一般都手持一束鲜花（bouquet）在父亲的陪同下最后进入教堂，然后父亲要把她交给新郎，所以正确答案应该是D项。3.A Clue：根据常识，参加婚礼的客人一般会向新娘和新郎抛撒五彩纸屑（confetti），所以正确答案应该是A项。

美国的园艺 美国人喜欢许多活动。在家中他们喜欢读书，看电视，制作艺术品，玩电脑游戏等，但最喜爱的还是户外活动。在过去的15年中，园艺已经成为美国最流行的户外活动。《有机园艺》杂志的最新调查表明，有7800万美国人从事园艺活动，占成年人口的40％多。该项调查还显示，一般从事园艺的人在种植季节平均每周花3到4小时在花园里挖土、修剪、种植及浇水。此外他们还投入资金。每年美国人花约250亿美元用来购买种子、花草、灌木、树木及促使植物生长的肥料。他们还花钱买工具以及在花园工作穿的特殊衣服。

3为什么越来越多的美国人喜欢园艺呢？大部分人以此为乐。园艺工作可使他们的家宅变得更漂亮，也让他们感到离大自然更近了。园艺还是一种锻炼身体的好方式，而且在新鲜空气和阳光里工作可消除人的紧张情绪。而对有的人来说，园艺是一种精神活动。你把种子撒在地里，为它们浇水。它们会长大开花，之后大部分又在秋天枯萎。但有的会在来年春天又重新长出来，年复一年。许多美国人在自己的花园里不仅仅种花。他们还种水果、蔬菜和药草。他们在家 里种植粮食作物有许多不同理由。有的说自己给自己提供食物是一件很愉快的事，就像他们的祖先当初在农场生活时一样。有的说这样可以省钱，有的则说他们要在整个夏天都吃最新鲜的蔬菜。在美国不是每个人都有自己的花园，但园艺对这些人来说也是深受喜爱的。他们可以在盆里种花然后放在临街的阳台上，或在窗台上放一些小盒子来种药草。他们还可以参加社区花园的种植工作。社区的花园通常为当地政府所有，或靠近住宅楼，或在公园里。花园被分成许多小块。这样即使没有自己的土地，许多人也可以有种花种草的机会。

Notes 1.(para.2)The new study says that during the growing season an average gardener spends 3 or 4 hours a week working in the garden digging, cutting, planting and watering.“digging, cutting, planting and watering” 做 working 的伴随状语。

2.(para.3)But some will come back again the next spring, and every year after that.every year after that 是一个省略句= every year some will come back again after that.That 代替前句中的 the next spring。

3.(para.4)Some say it is satisfying to provide their own food like their ancestors who live on farms.“it is satisfying to provide their own food like their ancestors who live on farms” 是宾语从句，其中 “to provide their own food like their ancestors who live on farms” 是主语，it 是形式主语。

美国人的饮食 可口可乐是全世界销路最好的软饮料（不含酒精的饮料）。从赤道到北极，可口可乐每天的销售量为一亿六千五百万瓶。在美国，任何人，不论年龄大小，收入多少，都可以在任何场合饮用可口可乐，而不至于有何不自在之感。但在美国之外，可口可乐往往是青年人的饮料。可口可乐不是惟一的可乐饮料。百事可乐是它的著名竞争对手并拥有自己的爱好者，因为它不像可口可乐那么甜。可乐饮料含有从可拉果中提取的咖啡因，并且是惟一的既可提神又有刺激性的软饮料。加利福尼亚生产的优质酒得到欧洲行家们的赞扬，但有些美国人更喜欢烈性酒。富裕的美国人以喝鸡尾酒的方式消费大量酒精，这种酒是用威士忌、杜松子酒和伏特加之类的烈性酒调制而成的。汉堡包和热狗也许是最著名的美国食品了。热狗——面包夹香肠——可以在街角的快餐柜和热狗摊上买到。从旧金山到纽约的中小饭馆，所有的菜单上都有汉堡包，它与牛排、炸仔鸡和海味并列。它们与炸薯条和蔬菜色拉放在一起出售。在多数情况下，这笔钱当然值得一花。要甜点的话，你可以点苹果馅饼、乳酪饼、巧克力夹心蛋糕、冰淇淋和圣代。美国的冰淇淋是全世界最好吃的冰淇淋了。美国人喜欢“快”，这个“快”目前也已进入了饮食业。许多饭馆，尤其是大型连锁饮食公司，“麦当劳”，专门做“快餐”，也就是在柜台随时可以买到或带走的食物。饭菜做好了，趁热就装进纸板或塑料制的容器。热饮料则装入带有盖得很严的塑料杯中。还有服务到车上的“路旁”快餐店，顾客甚至用不着离开小汽车。他们先在一块写有菜 单的牌子前停车，通过麦克风订饭菜，然后再往前开20码，就有女服务员递上做好并装在盒里的饭菜。愿意在饭馆里坐在餐桌边进餐的人的饭菜也同样装在纸板或塑料制的容器中，刀、叉、汤匙也都是塑料做的。顾客吃完了，除了盘子以外，其余都扔进垃圾箱。在大多数城市里，无论大城市还是小城市，你都可以吃到墨西哥食品或意大利食品。甚至小镇上也有咖啡馆提供简单的饭菜、各种饮料和非常好的刚煮好的咖啡。你坐在柜台边或桌旁就行。饭店和咖啡馆的服务热情周到，效率很高。男女服务员经常自我介绍：“我是多恩（或孟德比）。您要点什么？”这种友好毫不做作，也并不完全是想多得小费。一般，人们常另付账单金额的15％作为小费。男女服务员最讨人喜欢的一点是他们屡次三番把你的咖啡杯重新斟满而无需另外加钱！许多美国家庭以自己的烹调而自豪。他们有冷藏箱，可以把他们在花园种的或从超级市场买的食物贮藏起来。超级市场是大型自助商店、出售各种食品——新鲜的，罐头装的或冰冻的。因此，像快餐馆一样，他们的商品较便宜，容易销售。美国从三十年代起就有超级市场了，现在超级市场已遍及世界的大部分地区。

Notes: 1.(para.1)But whereas outside the USA Coke tends to be a young person’s drink, inside the USA anybody of any age or income can drink it without embarrassment on any occasion.Whereas相当于but in contrast，意思是“然而”，又如： He earns $8,000 a year whereas she gets at least $20,000 a year.他一年挣8,000美元而她至少可挣20,000美元。

2.(para.5)They first stop at a board where the menu is displayed, give an order through a microphone and then drive another twenty yards, where a girl hands them the meal, ready cooked and packed.where the menu is displayed 和 where a girl hands them the meal, ready cooked and packed 都是定语从句，分别修饰board和twenty yards。ready cooked and packed 是过去分词短语做meal的定语。ready 是副词，意思是“预先；已经”。

3.(para.7)So like the fast food restaurants, their produce is less expensive and easier to market.market 在句中为动词，意思是“销售”。
