第三篇：口译英汉对照

The instant messaging craze began in America about five or six years ago when I was in my freshman year of college.美国兴起在线实时信息传递的狂热大约始于五、六年前，那时我刚上大学。

At first I didn’t know what it was about.But it didn’t take long before I was hooked on instant messaging.I began talking on line whenever I could.开始我对什么是网上聊天还一无所知，但我很快就明白了，没多久就对网上聊天着了迷，只要有时间我就网上聊天。

AsI added more and more people to my “buddy list”, others were doing the same.Instant messaging really picked up, and soon “everyone was doing it.”

那时我刚上大学当我把越来越多的人加到我的“网友名单”上时，其他人也在做同样的事。网上聊天真是越来越普遍，很快就“人人为之”了。

I credit my typing skills to many many hours of talking on line.Unfortunately, as my typing speed increased, my grammar went out the window.我的打字技能应归功于长时间的网上聊天。然而令人遗憾的是，当我的打字速度提高后，一切语法规则也丢掉了。

You see, instant messengers have their own shorthand language.Grammar isn't important.要知道，网上聊天有他们自己的速记语言，语法并不重要。Gradually the instant messaging craze in America died down a bit, and so did my own enthusiasm for it.Then I came to China.渐渐地，网上聊天的狂热在美国降了温，之后我就来到了中国。Here I discovered not one but two instant messaging crazes.The first, which brought back memories of my previous addiction to the computer, was QQ.So now the cycle has started again.在这里，我发现对在线实时信息的狂热不是一种而是两种，第一种就是QQ，它让我回想起当年的痴迷。因此，那个循环又重新开始了。In addition to QQ, there is another, perhaps more widespread, messaging trend.You guessed it: cellphone text messaging.For the first few months of my stay in China, I didn't have a cellphone, so I wasn't affected.在QQ之外，还有一种恐怕是更为流行的快速传递信息的潮流，你一定猜到了—手机短信。

I recently bought one, however, and now understand how useful text messaging is and why it is so common.我在中国的头几个月没有手机，也就与之没有关联。但最近我买了一个手机，才知道了手机短信是多么有用，以及其广为流行的原因。I admit that I have been guilty of sending text messages while walking outside or sitting on the subway.Who hasn't? 我承认当我走在外面或坐在地铁里发送短信息时有点不好意思，但有谁不这样做？

No matter where I go, I see people on their cellphones, messaging.In fact, it's rare to see someone actually talking on their phone!

无论我走到哪儿，都能看到人们在手机上收发短信。实际上，倒是很少看到谁拿着手机在讲话。

So it looks as if there's no escaping the instant-messaging craze, no matter where I go in the world.看来，无论我走到世界的什么地方，都无法逃避实时信息传递的狂热。And that's plainly not going to change.显然，这个潮流不会改变。

In the end, though, I can't complain: instant messaging is quick, it's cheap, it's easy and it's pretty darn fun too.And abve all, everybody is doing it.然而，最终我并不对此抱怨。因为实时信息传递又快又便宜，又简单又非常有趣。再说了，每个人都在这么做啊。

对于全世界的华人来说，农历新年，又称春节，是全年最重要的喜庆节日。

To people of Chinese descent around the world, the Lunar New Year(also called Spring Festival)is undoubtedly the most important festival of the year.这个华人传统源自大约3，000年前，它代表着旧的一年平安过去了，人们准备大肆庆祝和迎接新的一年。

Dating back 3,000 years, it celebrates the passing of a peaceful year and welcome the new one.除夕夜的团圆饭是整个年头里最具有意义的一餐。所有大家庭的成员都会聚集一堂，远在他乡的也会尽量赶回来。

The reunion dinner, eaten on New Year’s Eve, is de rigueur, with members of the extended family gathering for the most significant meal of the year.Even the absent members will endeavor to return home in time for it.团圆饭显示了家庭在华人文化里的重要地位，它可以增强家庭凝聚力。

It undercores the superme importance of the family in Chinese culture, and aims at strengthening the sense of togetherness and cohesion.人们庆祝新年的方式，体现了两个重要的核心价值观。The way people celebrate the New Year embodies two important core values.首先，多代同堂的家庭成员，齐聚家中享受一顿丰盛的团圆饭，是每一个人都会遵守的习惯。

The first value is the sense of family togetherness;members of multi-generation families are all there to have a big reunion dinner.Everyone will follow this custom.准备一顿丰富晚餐的工作当然是落在家中女成员的身上，比较富裕的家庭则可能有佣人帮忙。

The female members are always held responsible for preparing the dinner, and some rich families may take on extra hands.其次，亲戚朋友间也会兴高采烈互访。这样的欢庆方式，有助于加强亲情和友情。

The second value lies in the happy visits mutually made between friends and relatives, a good way to strengthen kinship and friendship.然而，经济的发展带来了人们生活方式的改变。

However, economic development has resulted in some changes in lifestyles.忙碌了一年，人们不愿在过年的时候还要忙年夜饭，越来越多的人宁愿花钱在高级的餐馆吃，亲朋好友之间也不再登门拜访，代之以电话、短信拜年。

After a busy year people are tired of preparing for the reunion dinner, and would rather hold their reunion dinner in posh restaurants, despite the exorbitant costs.The festival door-to-door visits have give way to greetings via telephone or text messages.有的举家出游，甚至干脆住进酒店“避年”，避免亲戚朋友造访，图个清净。

Some families even go to extremes as to travel and seek temporary refuge in a hotel as to avoid being visited.有的传统人士认为，没有了团圆饭和亲戚朋友互访的习俗和它们所代表的核心价值观，新年将失去意义。

Some tradition-minded people regard the reunion dinner and visits to relatives and close friends during the New Year as core values, without which the holiday would lose much of its significance.有一些悲观的人士认为随着西方文化的不断入侵，中国的传统佳节都在逐渐失去本来的意义，变成一个个商业性的节日，就像圣诞节一样。

Some pessimistics contend that, as the popularity of western culture grows, Chinese traditional festivals gradually lose their original meaning and degenerate into commerce festivals like Christmas.春节是中华文化遗产的重要部分，新春活动将延续下去，庆祝的形式虽然会和以前不一样，但他们代表的核心价值观，即对亲情和友情的重视则应该保留。

The Spring Festival is an important part of the Chinese cultural heritage, and it would continue to be celebrated.The modes of celebration may change, but the core value should be sustained that of respect for kinship and friendship.de rigueur: means required , standard custom.It makes better sense than to say “ it’s the most important meal in the year.” 显示：to show, to reflect, or to underscore.图个清静：to have the peace of mind, to escape from the crowd 传统人士：conservative or tradition-minded people 庆祝的形式/方式：modes of celebration, ways of celebration 4.3

第五篇：会议口译原文及译文

英译汉原文及参考译文

In the space of a single generation, relations between the United Kingdom and the People’s Republic of China have been transformed.Government-to-government and business-to-business links are closer and more varied than ever before.//

But the most exciting changes have been in the links between the British and Chinese peoples.Chinese communities have long existed as a respected and cherished presence in British cities.//

But today, more and more British people are visiting China to see for themselves the new dynamism of great cites like Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou.We are re-discovering China’s incomparably rich cultural heritage, as well as its immense economic potential.//

The Chinese are re-discovering Britain, too.We are

delighted to welcome more Chinese visitors to our country each year.Many more Chinese are finding out about Britain through modern media like television and the Internet.//

Indeed, there are more Chinese people learning the English language than there are native speakers of English in the world today.This growing relationship is measurable, too, in financial terms.British firms now have a huge presence in China, a sign of their confidence in the country and its future.//

The UK is the largest European investor, and a British company, BP, is investing more capital in China than any other foreign firm.The largest foreign manufacturing investment in Western China is also British.//

The UK is China’s second largest European trading partner.British exports to China last year, at £3.72 billion were up 17% on the year 2000.China’s exports to Britain are at an all-time high.Many Chinese enterprises now regard Britain’s flexible and open economy has an ideal launching pad into the wider European market.//

All this is a far cry from 1972, when the UK and the PRC– 1 在短短一代人的时间内，英国和中华人民共和国之间的关系已经发生了彻底的变化。政府之间、商界之间的关系从未像如今这样紧密、多样。// 但是，最令人兴奋的变化当属英中两国人民之间的联系。华人社区在英国城市中长久以来都受到尊重和珍视。// 但是今天，越来越多的英国人访问中国，亲眼目睹像北京、上海、广州这样的大城市的新活力。我们正在重新发现中国无与伦比、丰富多彩的文化遗产以及她巨大的经济潜力。// 中国人也正在重新发现英国。我们每年都很高兴地欢迎越来越多的中国客人来访。通过电视和因特网这样的现代媒体了解英国的中国人大大增加。// 毫不夸张地说，当今世界上学习英语的中国人已经超过了以英语为母语的人了。这种关系的发展也可以从经济角度来衡量。英国公司现在在中国有很大的规模。这表明他们对中国及其未来的信心。// 英国是欧洲在华的最大投资国。英国的BP公司在中国的投资超过了其他任何一家外国公司。中国西部最大的外国制造业投资也来自英国。// 英国是中国在欧洲的第二大贸易伙伴。去年英国对华出口额达37.2亿英镑，比前年增长17%。中国对英国的出口达创纪录水平。许多中国企业现在把英国灵活、开放的经济看作进军更大的欧洲市场的理想跳板。// 这一切与1972年英中两国首次互换大使时的情景大不相同。当时，英国

first exchanged ambassadors.Then, there were virtually no Chinese students in Britain.Today, there are over 20,000 – one of the largest overseas communities at our universities.//

几乎没有中国学生，而今天有两万多，是英国大学中人数最多的海外群体。//

1972年，北京和伦敦之间没有直接通

Then, there were no direct air services between Beijing 航。而今年，将有25万多名英国游and London.This year, more than a quarter of a million 客前往中国。1972年，在位英国首相British tourists will travel to China.Then, no serving British 或外交大臣中没有人访问中国。而去Prime Minister or Foreign Secretary had ever visited China.Last year, there were visits from 11 British

ministers.//

The changing nature of international relations requires governments to work ever more closely together for their mutual benefit.In the globalized world economy, the security and prosperity of individual countries often

depends on events beyond our borders.//

We are interdependent as well as independent.Challenges such as fighting environmental damage, ensuring global human rights are properly observed, removing barriers to trade and investment, and reducing

poverty, have become truly global issues.//

They loom larger on the agendas of multilateral organizations like the UN, the WTO and ASEM.In the 21st century, bilateral relations between countries will depend on progress on issues like these.//

As two of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council, our governments work together on a daily basis on problems affecting every corner of the world.Another change in the relationship between Britain and China has been developments in Hong Kong.I am delighted that Hong Kong has prospered since 1997, and that “One Country, Two Systems” is proving such an effective approach.//

As a signatory of the Joint Declaration, the UK has an abiding interest in the continued well-being of the Special Administrative Region.But this is only a part of our wider commitment to China.We are increasing the resources we allocate through our Department for International Development to poverty reduction in China from £25 million this year to £60 million by 2004.年，英国有11位大臣到访中国。// 国际事务性质的变化，要求政府之间出于相互利益而更加紧密地合作。在全球化的经济中，每个国家的安全和繁荣经常受制于国界之外发生的事件。// 我们既相互独立，又相互依赖。对付环境破坏，确保全球人权得到应有的尊重，撤除贸易和投资障碍，减少贫困，这些挑战都已经成为名副其实的全球问题。// 在联合国、世界贸易组织和亚欧会议这样的多边组织的日程上面，这些问

题显得越来越严重。在21世纪，国家之间的双边关系将取决于在这些问题上取得的进展。// 作为联合国安理会五大常任理事国

中的两国，我们双方政府每天都在相互合作，处理影响到世界各地的问题。英中两国关系的另一变化是香港问题的发展。令我感到高兴的是，香港自1997年回归以来，继续保持繁荣，这证明了“一国两制”是非常有效的办法。// 作为《联合声明》的签约国，英国对

香港特别行政区保持良好状况各与长期的关注。但这只是我们对中国更广泛承诺的一部分。我们通过国际发展部，把用于中国扶贫项目的拨款资金从今年的2500万英镑，增加到2004年的6000万英镑。

汉译英原文及参考译文

主席先生：今年，对于中国来说，Mr.President, For China, this has been a special year.We 是不平凡的一年。我们经历了两件大事：第一件事是汶川特大地震灾害造成了巨大的生命财产损失。中国人民在灾难面前表现了坚强、勇敢、团结和不屈不挠的精神。目前，受灾群众得到了妥善安置，恢复重建工作正在有条不紊地展开。//

第二件事是北京奥运会成功举办。这一体育盛会不仅为来自世界各地的运动员展示风采创造了良好的条件，而且让世界更多地了解中国，让中国更多地了解世界。//

在抗震救灾和举办奥运会的过程中，我们得到了国际社会的广泛理解、支持和帮助。在此，我代表中国政府和人民表示诚挚的感谢。//

世界都在关注北京奥运会后中国政治经济走向。我可以明确地告诉大家，中国将继续坚定不移地走和平发展道路，继续坚持改革开放不动摇，继续贯彻独立自主的和平外交政策。这符合中国人民的根本利益，也符合世界人民的根本利益，顺应世界潮流。// 这次北京奥运会是在中国这样一个最大的发展中国家举行的。国际社会对中国政府和人民为此做出的努力给予了高度评价。奥运会的成功举办，使中国人民受到了极大的鼓舞，增强了实现现代化的信心和力量。//

同时，我们清醒地看到，中国有13亿人口，虽然经济总量已经位experienced two major events.One was the devastating earthquake in Wenchuan, which caused grave losses of life and property.In the face of the disaster, the Chinese people showed great strength, courage, solidarity and resilience.By now, the people affected by the earthquake have been properly relocated and recovery and reconstruction work is well underway.//

The other was the successful hosting of the Beijing Olympic Games.This grand sporting event provided a good

opportunity for athletes from around the world to show true sportsmanship.It also enabled the world to learn more about China and China more about the world.//

In our fight against the earthquake disaster and our efforts to host the Games, we received understanding, support and assistance from the international community.I wish to take this opportunity to express sincere gratitude on behalf of the Chinese Government and people.//

Now the whole world wants to know in what direction China is heading, both politically and economically, after the Beijing Olympic Games.Let me tell you in unequivocal terms that China will remain committed to the path of peaceful

development, unswervingly pursuer reform and opening-up, and continue to adhere to an independent foreign policy of peace.This is in the fundamental interests of the Chinese people and the people of all other countries.It is also in keeping with the trend of the world.//

The just concluded Olympic Games was held in China, the largest developing country in the world.The international community has highly commended the efforts made by the Chinese Government and people for the Games.And its success has greatly inspired the Chinese people and given them even more confidence and strength to achieve modernization of the country.//

At the same time, however, we are soberly aware that China is

a country with 1.3 billion people.Though its total GDP is one of the highest in the world, it trails behind more than 100

居世界前列，但人均收入水平仍排在世界100位之后，城乡发展和区域发展很不平衡，农村特别是西部地区农村还很落后，还有数以千万计的人口没有解决温饱。//

中国仍然是一个发展中国家，生产力不发达的状况没有根本改变，进一步发展还受到资源、能源、环境等瓶颈的制约。中国的社会主义市场经济体制还不完善，民主法制还不健全，一些社会问题还比较突出。// 中国实现现代化的任务还很繁重，道路还很漫长。摆在我们面前的机遇和挑战都是空前的。抓住机遇，迎接挑战，聚精会神搞建设，一心一意谋发展，这就是中国政府和中国人民的理念和行动。//

中国发展靠什么？靠改革开放。今年是中国改革开放30周年。今天，中国人更从30年改革开放的切身经验中体会到，只有全面而持久地扩大对外开放，才是国家富强和民族繁荣的正确道路。这不但是实践探索的结论，也是历史经验的总结。//

主席先生：世界需要和平，和平才能发展。中国要实现自己的发展目标，渴望有一个和平的国际环境。中国政府坚定不移地奉行独立自主的和平外交政策，愿同各国加强合作，共同促进人类和平与发展的崇高事业。

countries in terms of per capita income.Development between urban and rural areas and among different regions in China is unbalanced.The rural areas, particularly those in western China, are underdeveloped.Tens of millions of Chinese lack adequate food and clothing.//

China is still a developing country, where productivity remains low and further development is constrained by the shortage of resources and energy and environmental consequences.Our socialist market economic system, democracy and the rule of law need to be further improved, and certain outstanding social issues are yet to be resolved.//

To achieve China’s modernization is a daunting task and we still have a long way to go.Both the opportunities and

challenges that we face are unprecedented.We will seize the opportunities, rise up to challenges, dedicate ourselves to nation-building and focus on development.This is what the Chinese Government and people have been thinking and doing.//

People may ask: How does China achieve its development? The answer is through reform and opening-up.This year

marks the 30th anniversary of China’s reform and opening-up policy.The Chinese people have learned from 30 years of reform and opening-up that only continued opening-up in an all-round way can lead the country to greater national strength and prosperity.This is the conclusion we have drawn both from our practice and exploration and from historical experiences.// Mr.President, The world needs peace, for only with peace can

there be development.China earnestly hopes to have a peaceful international environment in order to achieve its

development goals.The Chinese Government is committed to an independent foreign policy of peace and stands ready to work with other countries to advance the noble cause of peace and progress of mankind.
