中级口译第八节课讲义
社会生活
1.中华人民共和国是全国各族人民共同缔造的统一的多民族国家。迄今为止,中国有56个民族。//与汉族相比,其他55个民族人口相对较少,因此他们在习惯上被称为“少数民族”。//1990年中国进行了第四次人口普查,据统计,在全国总人口中,汉族人口约占92%,少数民族人口占8%。//在长期的历史发展过程中,中华民族这个大家庭中的各族人民经过融合和迁移,形成了今天的颁布格局。//2000,10 p.163 The people’s republic of China is a united multi-national state founded jointly by the people of all nationalities.So far,there are 56 nationalities.//Compared with the Han nationality,China’s other 55 ethnic groups have a relatively small population,thus they are customarily referred to as ethnic minorities.//According to the fourth national census conducted in 1990,the Han nationality accounts for 92 percent of the country’s total population,and minority ethnic groups account for 8 percent.//During China’s long history of development,the people of various nationalities in China migrated and mingled,which eventually brought about today’s distribution.//
2.近年来,随着上海市民人均收入的逐年增加,消费结构发生了根本性的变化。//许多传统的消费热点正在悄悄降温,新的消费亮点已崭露头角,过去单一的节假日购物消费已向多元化消费转变。//从节假日休闲娱乐消费来看,同样也在悄然发生着变化。人们的假日休闲娱乐消费已突破了以往上舞厅、打保龄球等传统方式。//取而代之的是市民选择在图书馆静静地阅读,或举家到博物馆游览参观,市民休闲的文化气息正在不断增强。//2002,10,p228 With the increasing of its residents’ per capita income year by year,fundamental changes have taken place in the consumption structure in Shanghai.//Many traditional consumption hot spots are quietly losing their charms while new consumption forms have made the figure.People used to go shopping only during their holidays,but nowadays the consumption fashion has been diversified.//Changes also occurred stealthily in the field of recreational consumption.For their holiday recreational consumption,people are no longer satisfied with the traditional practices of going dancing or playing bowling.//Instead,people choose to go to libraries or go to museums with their family members.The culture-related recreational consumption is gradually gaining currency.//
3.A modern wife has now been given the choice of whether or not to stay at home and be a full-time housewife.//Thirty years agoa it was expected that when a girl married she automatically stopped working to become a full-time housewife and mother.//In the 1990s,society does not expect that of women.Women today have the freedom to continue with their careers and the freedom to choose whether or not to have children.//Some couples deliberately choose not to have children in favour of pursuing interesting and well-paid careers,while others choose to have children at a much better time.1998,10 一个现代妻子正面临着是否呆在家里,充当全职家庭主妇的选择。30年前,人们希望女孩一结婚就主动停止工作,成为全职家庭主妇和母亲。//在90年代,社会并不希望妇女这样做。如今妇女享有继续工作的自由,选择生育孩子的自由。//有些夫妻为从事有趣而又高薪的职业有意选择放弃生育,其他夫妻则选择晚些时候生育。//
4.Yound people do not show the same kind of concern towards their elderly parents as was evident before the Second Wold War.//Today,people are pursuing careers,social life and wealth,and do not want to be burdened by elderly parents.//Very often the only family contact is by telephone,and perhaps and occasional visit at birthday and Christmas time.//Elderly people are sometimes neglected by their families,and so they rely heavily on the good will of their friends and neighbours for company and support.//1998,10 现在的年轻人不象二战前的年轻人那样关心年迈父母。//今天,人们追求事业的成功,寻求生财之道,不想让年迈的父母成为自己的负担。//通常,全家人只通过电话保持联系,只有在生日聚会或圣诞节期间才有可能聚在一起。//老年人时常会被忽视,因此,他们在很大程度上依赖朋友和邻居的帮助,靠他们排忧解难。
5.城市的大龄未婚女青年大多数是所谓“才女”,即受过较高教育的女子。//“才女”择偶恐怕不是今天才开始的。题诗求对以招婿的故事也是不是纯粹的文学虚构。//在旧时代,有些女子才气与心性比一般女子高,因而不满于“父母之命,媒酌之言”的婚配形式。//但这毕竟是凤毛麟角,大多数女子摆脱不了“嫁鸡随鸡,嫁狗随狗”的命运。// Those elder unmarried girls in cities are mostly the so-called “gifted girls”,referring to those females who have been more highly educated.//It is not a t all a newly-started thing for gifted young girls to choose their own ideal spouses.It is by no means a pure literary fiction for gifted girls to choose theire spouses by way of the inscripton of a poem and the matching of an antithetical couplet.//It was true that in old times,some gifted young girls had a higher literary talent and nobler mind than the average young girls,and therefore they were dissatisfied with the marriage pattern in which a girl was supposed to obey here parents’ order and follow the advice of the matchmakers.//But this was after all the rarity of raritiesMost of them couldn’t free themselves from their destiny in marriage.That is,they had to marry the men chosen by their parents and match makers.//

口试“政治类”:
We established our friendly and cooperative relations on the understanding that we would develop our friendship on the basis of mutual respect and equality,and mutual benefit.//We believe that it is absolutely important that all nations ,big or small,strong or weak,should establish and maintain their relations on these principles.//We appreciate the interest and understanding that China has shown regarding the problems of small and developing countries.//We also appreciate China’s firm support in our economic development.//I look forward,in the next few days,to the opportunity of learning something from your experience on promoting economic and social development in the interest of your people.// 我们建立友好合作关系时是基于这样一种认识,即我们要在相互尊重和平等互利的基础上发展我们的友谊。//我们认为,所有国家,无论大小强弱,都应该在这些原则 的基础上建立和维持相互间的关系,这是至关重要的。//我们赞赏中国关注和理解小国和发展中国家所遇到的问题,我们赞赏中国对我们经济发展的有力支持。//我期待在今后的几天里有机会向你们请教,学习你们为造福贵国人民而促进经济和社会发展的经验。// 2.(26)Mr.President,I wish to thank you for your very gracious and eloquent remarks.At this very moment through the wonder of telecommunications,many people are hearing what we say today.//Yes,right now the whole world is watching us.Though what we say here ill soon be forgoten,what we do here will change the world.//We have a social and political system which differs in many respects from your own.It is the result of different experiences and a different tradition.//Given our distinct histories,geographies and cultures,it is inconceivable that we could seee eye to eye on all issues.However,we do agree on the fundamental need for world peace.// 主席先生,我要感谢您那热情洋溢、雄辩无比的演讲。此时此刻,许多人正在通过神奇的电讯设备倾听着我们的讲话。//是的,此时此刻整个世界都在关注着我们。虽然我们在此所作的演讲很快便会被人们遗忘,但是我们在此的作为却能改变世界。//我国的社会制度和政治制度在许多方面都与贵国的社会制度和政治制度不同。这源于我们不同的经历和不同的传统。//鉴于我们有着截然不同的历史、地理和文化,很难想象我们会对所有问题都有一致的看法。但是对世界和平的基本需求,我们的看法是一致的。// 3.(33)I have come to China for the beautiful future of our two countries.I am firmly convinced that ,together,we two peoples can and will make tomorrow a better day.//We may be distinctly different in language,customs,and political beliefs,but on many vital questions of our time there is little distance between the American and Chinese people.//China’s economy advances with the dynamics of change.Unlike some governments,which fear change and fear the future,China is beginning to scale new 总部地址:工农路111号华辰大厦A座604 邮编:226000 电话:8522-0400 网址:www.xiexiebang.com
heights.//On behalf of all the members of my delegation,I’d like to express our highest respect for your courage and welcome the opportunity to walk by your side.// 我来中国是为了我们两国美好的未来。我坚信我们两国人民能够,也一定会共同建设美好的未来。//我们可以有两种截然不同的语言、习俗和政治信仰,但在我们这个时代的许多至关重要的问题上,我们两国人民之间几乎没有距离。//中国经济突飞猛进,日新月异。与一切惧怕变革,惧怕未来的国家不同,中国开始迈向新的高度。//我谨代表本代表团成员向你们所表现出的勇气致敬,并欢迎有此机会与你们并肩前进。// “旅游类”:
1.Bristol is a truly beautiful,interesting and fascinating city.Beautiful parks and gardens leak onto interesting lanes and footpaths,while houses and buildings of old times stand magnificently on the hills of the city.//But Bristol is much more than this;it is a modern city where the latest works in contemporary arts can be found and where the night-life is interesting and varied.//Bristol is surrounded by beautiful countryside,rolling hills,and top class holiday resorts.Some of the country’s most fascinating tourist attractions-castles and palaces-are only a short drive away.//Bristol has always envouraged the tourist industry and welcomed tourist from all parts of the world.There is a superb choice of acommodation available and the city is proud of its many restaurants and cafes.// 布里斯托尔的确是一座非常美丽、有趣和迷人的城市。美丽的公园和花园里到处是趣味盎然的路径,旧时代的房屋和建筑昂然挺立在城市的山坡上。//然而,布里斯托尔并非仅仅如此;那还是座现代化的城市,有当代艺术的最新作品,也有有趣和丰富多样的夜生活。//布里斯托尔的四周有美丽的乡村,起伏不断的山地,以及一流的度假胜地。从这里出发到一些全国最迷人的旅游景点,如城堡和宫殿,只有短短的一段车程。//布里斯托尔一向重视旅游业,欢迎来自世界各地的游客。当地有一流的住宿可供选择,还有其引以为豪的众多餐馆和咖啡馆。// 2.上海既是一座历史文化名城,也是当今中国最为繁荣的经济中心之一,成为人们向往的观光胜地。//上海为旅游者在各方面提供了良好的基础设施。在上海旅游,不仅方便愉快,而且安全舒适。//上海要长久吸引旅游者,就应该切实做好各项旅游服务工作,让游客获得宾至如归的服务。//我们希望而且相信,上海会使每一位旅游者流连忘返,“乐不思蜀”,给每一位旅游者留下了美好的回忆。// Shanghai,a famous historical and cultural city,and one of the most prosperous economic centers in China,has become a famous scenic spot that people look forward to visiting.//Shanghai provides tourists with a good infrastructure in every aspect.Touring in Shanghai is not only convenient and pleasant,but also safe and comfortable.//To maintain a lasting charm for tourists,Shanghai should earnestly do a good job in all kinds of tourist services to make them feel at home.//We hope and believe that Shanghai will make every tourist stay a longer time and become too 总部地址:工农路111号华辰大厦A座604 邮编:226000 电话:8522-0400 网址:www.xiexiebang.com
delighted to be homesick.A nice memory of the city will linger in the heart of every tourist.// 3.阳朔是个小镇,人口不足三万。它极富盛名,每年有成千上万的游客趋之若骛,从世界各地涌来。//1998年美国前总统比尔.克林顿来到这里,面对美不胜收的景致,不忍匆匆离去,以致推迟其香港之行。//阳朔最吸引人的地方就是板石街,又名“西洋街”。该街总长一千米,有一千四百一十年历史。//街道两旁有数百家商店,主要出售外国人喜欢的仿古制品和纪念品。徜徉小街,游人会惊喜地发现在这里东西方文明是如此的水乳交融。// Yangshuo is a small country of less than 30,000 people.Nevertheless,it is so famous that it woos thousands of tourists worldwide all the year round.//In 1998,former US president Bill Clinton came here and delayed his trip to Hong Kong because he was reluctant to leave such a lovely place too soon.//The most tempting place in Yanghuo is the Slabstone Street,which has gained a new name as “The Western Street”.The street,with a total length of 1,000 meters,spans a history of 1,410 years.//On both sides of the street are a few hundred shops,selling mainly souvenirs and antiques to(cater for)the foreigners’ tastes.Strolling on the street,tourists will be amazed to find that Eastern and Western culture blend so well here.// 口试“教育类”:
1.Some universities,like Oxford and Cambridge in Britain,are residential,which means students live and study on campus.Other universities are non-residential,which means students have to spend a lot of time to travel daily to their lectures.//There are also part-time students who have to do their work during the day,and they study in the evening.Other part-time students have to study by correspondence.//”The Open Universities”can also help students to gain university degrees.Here,lectures are mainly given on radio or television.However,for a few weeks each year,students can attend vacation courses at universities.//For admission to any university degree course,a student has to pass qualifying examinations.In Britain,there are not enough places for asll secondary school students,so these qualifying examinations are highly competitive.// 英国有些大学,如牛津和剑桥提供学生住宿,这就是说学生在校园里学习和生活。其他一些学校则不提供住宿,也就是说学生每天要花不少时间到学校去听讲座。//还有一些利用业余时间学习的学生,他们白天必须工作,晚上学习。还有些业余学生则不得不通过函授学习。//“开放大学”也能帮助学生取得大学学位,大学主要通过广播或电视播出讲座。但是每年有几个星期,学生能在大学里参加假期班的学习。//要想攻读任何大学学位课程,学生必须通过入学资格考试。由于在英国没有足够的名额让所有中学生进入大学,因此,这些入学考试具有很强的竞争性。// 2.Last year a research was carried out on the skills of university students.The findings confirm the worry of employers about the lack of basic skills in some university graduates.//The research showed that less than 20% of all university students achieves 总部地址:工农路111号华辰大厦A座604 邮编:226000 电话:8522-0400 网址:www.xiexiebang.com
the levels expected of them in the three key skills,that is,communication,the application of number and information technology.//Some teachers and experts have argued that there are two other key skills which the university students might be expected to show.These skills are to improve their own learning and to work with others.//If we add in these skills,the research showed that only about a dozen university students among nearly two hundred who were tested scored top marks,which is,of course,a very disappointing and uncomfortable figure.// 去掉开展了一次对大学生技能的调查研究。调查结果证实了雇主们对某些大学生缺乏基本技能这一现象的担忧。//调查显示只有不到20%的大学生在三项基本技能方面达到了预期的标准。这三项技能包括交际、数学以及(处理)信息技术。//有些老师和专家认为大学生还应该具备另外两项基本技能,那就是如何提高自己的学习能力和同他人共事的能力。//如果我们加上这两项技能,调查研究显示在接受测试的近200名大学生中,只有12名左右取得了高分,这个数字理所当然是令人十分失望和不安的。// 3.大多数人认为,书本和课本基本上是一回事,其实这种想法是完全错误的。//书本并不仅仅是指课本。如果我们仅仅通过课本去学习,这就意味着我们把自己局限于生活中很狭小的一个方面。//大多数教育专家都强调“终身学习”的重要性,认为继续教育的一个重要途径就是阅读各种书籍和报纸杂志。//他们指出,学习永无止境,是个连续不断的过程。每一个人都可以,也完全可以做到:活到老学到老。// It is a view held by most people that books and textbooks mean almost the same thing,which ,actually,is all wrong.//Books are not just textbooks,and if we only read textbooks,it means that we are concentrating only on one small aspect of life.//Most education experts stress the importance of life-long learning,thinking that an important way of continuing one’s education is by reading books,magazines,and newspapers on every subject.//They point out that education never ends.It is a continuous process.All of us may,and are entirely able to ,accomplish this kind of life-long education.The day we stop learning is the day when we die.4.松江大学城作为本市最大的大学社区,于昨日正式启用,迎接来自上海外国语大学、上海外贸学院及立信会计学院三所高校的5500名新生。//该大学城占地306公顷,其中240公顷用于教室等各类教学设施,其他用于寝室食堂和商店。整座大学城的建成将耗资25亿人民币。//松江大学城的建立,旨在使大学生得到全面、健康的发展,即每个学生都得以在德、智、体、美各个方面 有所提高。//按计划,今年年底松江大学城将完成一批大型体育综合设施-包括运动场和体育馆。据市教育部门的官员说,这些设施能承担国际性的比赛。// Songjiang College Town,Shanghai’s first planned university community,officially opened yesterday,welcoming 5,500 freshmen from the three institutions of higher learning,that is,Shanghai International Studies University,Shanghai Institute of Foreign Trade and Lixin Accounting College.//The college town has an area of 306 hectares,of which 240 hectares will be developed for educational facilities such as the classrooms and rest for 总部地址:工农路111号华辰大厦A座604 邮编:226000 电话:8522-0400 网址:www.xiexiebang.com
dorms,cafeterias and stores.//The(setting-up of the)college town is to met the ducational objective that every student has an overall healthy development while studying in the town.That is,every student is given the best opportunity to grow morally,intellectually,physically and aesthetically.//Scheduled for completion at year’s end is a massive sports complex-with stadiums and gymnasium that can be used for international competitions,according to city education officials.// 口试“礼仪发言类”:
1.Your Honor Mr.Mayor,thank you very much for your extraordinary arrangements and hospitality.In the short period of the two week study tour,we have travelled much of your country.// Those were indeed exciting and unforgettable days.We have experienced the warm reception,the utmost courtesy and genuine friendship of the Chinese people.//
We have been deeply impressed by the diversity,dynamism,and progress of China under the policies of reform and opening up to the outside world.// We are glad that we are part of the dramatic process of your change from the planned economy to the market-oriented economy.The cooperative relations between our two countries have become so extensive that they have affected almost all areas of economy.//(2000,3)尊敬的市长先生,感谢您的精心安排与好客。在短暂的两周考察中,我们曾到过贵国的许多地方。// 那些日子确实别人激动,令人难忘。我们感觉到的总是中国人民的热情接待,彬彬有礼和诚挚友情。// 中国在改革开放政策引导下,气象万千,充满活力,不断进步,这些给我们留下了极为深刻的印象。// 贵国正处于一个由计划经济向市场经济转轨的过程,我们很高兴能参加与这个富有戏剧性的转轨过程。我们的合作关系领域广阔,几乎已涉及所有的经济领域。// 2.主席先生,女士们,先生们,我宣布英特网服务国际研讨会开幕,在此我向参加开幕式的各界来宾表示热烈的欢迎。// 英国和澳大利亚的有关公司与专家对本次研讨会的成功召开给予了很大的帮助,对此我谨致以诚挚的谢意。// 总部地址:工农路111号华辰大厦A座604 邮编:226000 电话:8522-0400 网址:www.xiexiebang.com
海外一些发达国家在推动英特网服务事业方面积累了不少经验,值得我们借鉴和学习,通过交流,我们可以得到更多的信息与体会。// 我相信,本次研讨会对于推动英特网在中国的广泛使用具有积极的作用和深远的意义。我预祝研讨会圆满成功。// Mr.Chairman,ladies and gentlemen,I declare open the International Symposium on Internet Service.I’d like to extend a warm welcome to our guests from various circles.// I wish to express our sincere thanks to the British and Australian companies and their specialists whose generous help has made possible the successful commencement of this symposium.// Some overseas developed countries have accumulated much experience in promoting Internet service.And their experience deserves our reference and study.Through exchange,we will be able to acquire more information and knowledge.// I believe the symposium will be constructive and significant in popularizing the use of Internet service in China.I wish the symposium a complete success.//
3.我谨代表我们一行的全体成员,感谢董事长先生的盛情邀请,参加你们的圣诞晚会。// 圣诞节确实是一年中的一段美好时光。圣诞团圆晚会是人类热情,团结,以及奉献的象征。// 今年庆祝圣诞节对我们所有人来说更有意义,因为今年我们的合资企业的销售有了显著增长。// 我希望我们能保持这种务实的合作关系,使明年的业绩更加辉煌。让我们共同举杯,为明年再创佳绩干杯。// On behalf of all the members of my group,I’d like to thank you,Mr.Chairman,for your gracious invitation for us to attend such an enjoyable Christmas party.// Christmas is really a wonderful time of a year.The christmas get-together party is symbolic of the warmth,union,and decication of mankind.// The celebration of Christmas this year is more meaningful to all of us,because our joint venture has had a remarkable sales growth this year.// 总部地址:工农路111号华辰大厦A座604 邮编:226000 电话:8522-0400 网址:www.xiexiebang.com
I hope we will be able to maintain this practical cooperative relationship and make the coming new year a more fruitful year.May I ask you to make a toast with me to a better business in the coming year.4.今晚,我们很高兴在北京大学两次接待我们的老朋友格林博士和夫人。//我代表学校的全体师生员工向格林博士和夫人以及其他新西兰贵宾表示热烈欢迎。//我相信格林博士这次对我校的访问,必将为进一步加强两校的友好合作关系作出重要的贡献。//明天,贵宾们将要赴南京和上海访问,我预祝大家一路旅途愉快。// It gives us great pleasure to play host tonight to our old friends,Dr.and Mrs.Green in Beijing University once again.//On behalf of the faculty ,students and staff of the university ,I wish to extend our warm welcome to Dr.and Mrs.Green and other distinguished New Zealand guests.//I am convinced that Dr.Green’s current visit to our university will surely make an important contribution to further strengthening the friendly relations and cooperation between our two countries.//Our distinguished guests will leave for Nanjing and Shanghai tomorrow.I wish you all a pleasant journey.// 要翻促进发展,一律promote development;要翻许多,通通many。诸如此类的词汇,被笔者称之为“滥词”,即被用到泛滥的词汇。
如果是追求反应速度和效率的口译部分,这样的译文当然没有问题。可是在时间充裕的笔译部分,这样的简单词汇无疑会令译文质量打上折扣。至少,无法让阅卷人眼前一亮,难获高分。

中级口译练习题
SECTION 3: TRANSLATION TEST(1)(30 minutes)
Directions: Translate the following passage into Chinese and write your version in the corresponding space in your ANSWER BOOKLET.A majority of the world’s climate scientists have convinced themselves, and also a lot of laymen, some of whom have political power, that the Earth’s climate is changing;that the change, from humanity’s point of view, is for the worse;and that the cause is human activity, in the form of excessive emissions of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide.世界上大多数气候科学家不但自己确信,也说服了很多外行人士(其中包括一些政界人士)--地球的气候正在改变;这种改变,从人类角度来看,是消极的;这种改变的始作俑者是人类,是由于排放超量的诸如二氧化碳等温室气体而造成的。
A minority, though, are sceptical.Some think that recent data suggesting the Earth’s average temperature is rising are explained by natural variations in solar radiation, and that this trend may be coming to an end.Others argue that there is no conclusive evidence that modern temperatures are higher than they used to be.少数人对此表示怀疑。一些人认为,最近有充分的数据表明地球平均气温上升是由于太阳辐射的自然波动,而且这种变化已接近尾声。另一些人认为并没有决定性证据表明近现代的地球温度高于古代。
We believe that global warming is a serious threat, and that the world needs to take steps to try to avert it.That is the job of the politicians.But we do not believe that climate change is a certainty.There are no certainties in science.Prevailing theories must be constantly tested against evidence, and more evidence collected, and the theories tested again.That is the job of the scientists.我们深信,全球气候变暖是一个严峻的威胁,全人类都需要采取行动改变这种状况--这是政治家的职责。但是我们并不认为气候变化已成定局。科学无绝对。流行的理论必须反复经过验证,才能下定论—这是科学家的工作。【解析】
本次中口英译汉的文章节选自《经济学人》(The Economist)网站2009年11月26日的文章A heated debate,配合当时的哥本哈根气候大会,属于事实热点,文字难度偏低。
第一段里的laymen是一个难点,这里的laymen是指不具有专业科学知识的外行,其中还包括政治家。另外,后文的“for the worse”表示“事情在向坏的方面发展”。
第二段,有第一句统摄,后面分述两种情况,并列关系需要发出来,没有太多难点。
第三段给出了报刊自己的观点,分别对政治家和科学家提出了期望。倒数第二段翻译被动语态时,需要注意,表达时要符合汉语习惯。SECTION 4: TRANSLATION TEST(2)(30 minutes)
Directions: Translate the following passage into English and write your version in the corresponding space in your ANSWER BOOKLET.1 新东方口译:http://edu.21cn.com/kcnet440/
豫园是上海著名的古典园林,已有400多年的历史。花园设计独特,具有明清两代南方的建筑艺术的风格。园内共有40余景,景色自然迷人,亭台楼阁、假山池塘和谐对称、协调均衡,其布局之精致自古闻名江南。
Renowned as a classical garden in Shanghai, the Yuyuan Garden dates back over 400 years.Its unique design is characterized by the styles of both the Ming and Qing Dynasties, which features the ancient southern architectures.The garden is dotted with 40 attractive scenic spots fascinating the tourists with its pavilions, pagodas, ponds and rockeries.The layout of the garden, which is harmoniously coordinated, has been earning the fame in South China for its delicacy since ancient times.豫园原为明代一位大官的私家花园,始建于1559年,直到20年后才建成。此后曾几经变迁,屡遭摧残。所幸的是,从1949年上海解放时,园内的主要景点尚完好无损。从1956年开始,豫园经过多次修缮,重现其昔日光彩。
The garden used to be the private garden of a prestigious government official in the Ming Dynasty.Founded in 1559, its construction was not completed until 20 years later.The vicissitudes and ravages ensued.Fortunately, the major scenic spots in the garden remained intact when Shanghai was liberated in 1949.The Yuyuan Garden managed to attain its rejuvenation after several renovations.【解析】
本段是典型的对外宣传材料,文章以短句为主,很有汉语的音律美。面对这类文章,我们应从意群出发,摆脱句式结构的限制。这样才能写出符合英文习惯的译文。
例如:“园内共有40余景,景色自然迷人,亭台楼阁、假山池塘、和谐对称、协调均衡,其布局之精致自古闻名江南。”,这里的四字短语,如果逐字逐句翻译的话,就不太好处理了。译文将其处理成两个句子,利用英语的句子成分使语义丰满,这种翻译技法,大家可以借鉴学习。2011年3月中级口译英译汉原文和参考答案
A majority of the world’s climate scientists have convinced themselves, and also a lot of laymen, some of whom have political power, that the Earth’s climate is changing;that the change, from humanity’s point of view, is for the worse;and that the cause is human activity, in the form of excessive emissions of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide.世界上大部分气候学家已经使他们自己及许多普通民众(包括一些政界人士)确信,地球的气候正处于变化之中;对人类而言,这一变化正日趋严重;罪魁祸首是人类活动,其表现形式为过量排放二氧化碳之类的温室气体。
A minority, though, are sceptical.Some think that recent data suggesting the Earth’s average temperature is rising are explained by natural variations in solar radiation, and that this trend may be coming to an end.Others argue that there is no conclusive evidence that modern temperatures are higher than they used to be.但是,仍有一小部分人对此持怀疑态度。一些人表示,虽然近期的数据表明地球的平均气温正在升高,但其原因是太阳辐射的自然波动,这一趋势可能临近结束。另一些人认为并没有决定性证据表明近现代的地球温度高于古代。

SECTION 1: LISTENING TEST(45 minutes)Part A: Spot Dictation
Directions: In this part of the test, you will hear a passage and read the same passage with blanks in it.Fill in each of the blanks with the word or words you have heard on the tape.Write your answer in the corresponding space in your ANSWER BOOKLET.Remember you will hear the passage ONLY ONCE.My topic for today’s lecture is communication, culture and work.When most people use the word culture, they think of people from different national backgrounds.National cultures certainly do exist and they play an important role in shaping the way people communicate, but there are other dimensions of culture too.Within a nation, regional differences can exert a powerful influence on communication.New Yorkers and Alaskans may find one another’s styles of behaving so different that they might as well be from different countries.Race and ethnicity can also shape behavior.So can age.The customs, values and attitudes of a twenty-year-old girl may vary radically from those of her parents who were raised in the 1960s or her grandparents who lived through the Great Depression and World War Ⅱ.Still, other differences can create distinctive cultures.Gender, sexual orientation, physical disabilities, religion and socio-economic background are just a few.All of these factors lead to a definition of culture as a set of values, beliefs, norms, customs, rules and codes that lead people to define themselves as a distinct group, giving them a sense of commonality.It’s important to realize that culture is learned, not innate.A Korean-born infant adopted soon after her birth by American parents and raised in the United States will think and act differently than his or her cousins who grew up in Seoul.An African American who grew up in the inner city will view the world differently than he or she would if raised in the suburbs or in a country like France where African heritage has different significance than it does in the United States.The norms and values we learn as part of our cultural conditioning shape the way we view the world and the way we interact with one another.In short, culture has such an overwhelming influence on communication that famous anthropologist Edward Hall once remarked, ‘culture is communication and communication is culture.’ 【解析】
作为中口笔试听力第一题Spot Dictation,考试选用了文化题材的内容,考生对此类型题材应该并不陌生,但若不集中注意力,也会比较难把握文章的层次。
全文围绕关键信息“other dimensions of culture”,字面意思是其他的文化维度,指的是除国籍外其他造成文化差异的因素。
文章首先给出纽约人和阿拉斯加人在交流过程中行事风格不同的例子,提出了地域性差异造成文化差异的概念。而后补充道不同人种和种族同样是形成文化交流差异的因素,紧接着文章便通过老中青三代人不同的思想意识观念的例子抛出了另外一个关键隐私——年龄。新东方口译:http://edu.21cn.com/kcnet440/
文章还提出了一个较传统观念所不同的观点,It’s important to realize that culture is learned, not innate,即文化差异并非与生俱来,而是通过后天环境的影响逐渐形成的。韩裔和非裔美国人的例子说明了这一点。
