8-1丝绸之路The Silk Road 欢迎各位参加“丝绸之路游”。我相信为期两周的浏览将成为您一生中最难忘的经历之一。Welcome to the Silk Road Tour!I’m sure you will find this two-week trip one of your most memorable experiences in your life.丝绸之路的历史可以追溯到公元前二世纪，当时一名中国官员、朝延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，即今日的西安，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，最后抵达地中海东岸，全程7千公里，其中4千多公里的路段位于中国境内。

The Silk Road dates back to the second century B.C.When Zhang Qian, a Chinese official and envoy of the royal court, enmbarked on his business trip to Xiyu(meaning western countries)following this trade thoroughfare linking Asia and Europe.Originating from Chang’an(the 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.15世纪前的一千多年里，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道进入西方国家的，所以欧洲学者将此道称作“丝绸之路”。

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 West 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 West along this road, European scholars came to call it the “Silk Road”.丝绸之路沿途的大批历史文物、引人入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，沿线散居着许多少数民族，他们对来自世界各地的游客都以礼相待，热情好客。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，如同天方夜谭一般神奇，听来别有一番情趣。

A wealth of historical relics, fascinating scenery and interesting local cultures along the Silk Road make this long trip one of the world’s most exciting tourist attractions.Many Chinese ethnic minorities inhabit the part of the Silk Road in China, and they treat tourists from all parts of the world with courtesy and hospitality.The food and crafts in the region are different from those in central China.And the folklore is simply exotic and colorful.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，期间我们还要浏览兰州、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。这次浏览一定会给您留下可与家人和朋友共享的美好回忆。The Silk Road Tour our travel agency offers will start from the ancient city of Xi’an and wind up at Urumqi, the capital of Xinjiang.The tour will also cover Lanzhou, Dunhuang and Turpan.All along the route, you will have a chance to see the charms of the natural landscape, appreciate the super workmanship of ancient artists, enjoy local delicacies and meet local people.The trip will certainly leave you sweet memories that you will share with your family and friends.8-2传统节日Traditional Holidays 我很高兴有机会向各位介绍中国的主要传统节日，尤其是介绍中国最重要的传统节日—春节。

I’m very happy to have the opportunity to talk to you about major traditional Chinese holidays and in particular about the Spring Festival, the most important Chinese holiday.同世界其他地区一样，节日在中国是人们勤于烹调、饱享口福的时候。菜市场鱼肉满架，购物和烹调成了人们的主要活动。但是节庆膳食除了在数量和质量上与平日不同之外，一些历史悠久、具有象征意义的特色食物也是节日必不可缺的伴侣。

Like in the rest of the world, holidays in China are a time to enjoy good cooking and eating.Grocery markets are well stocked with all kinds of fish and meat and shopping and cooking become major activities.But in addition to the quantitative and qualitative differences apparent in holiday meals, some special traditional foods with their symbolic significance are indispensable on these occasions.例如农历5月5日的端午节，人们过端午节是为了纪念被昏君贬官放逐而抱石投江自尽的古代诗人和忠臣屈原。最初人们将以芦苇包扎好的糯米粽子投入屈原自尽的那条江，以祭祀亡灵。今天，人们在端午节时举行龙舟比赛，而粽子则由活生生的人来享用。

The Dragon Boat Festival on the 5th day of the 5th lunar month(around early June)is celebrated in memory of Qu Yuan, an ancient poet and loyal minister who drowned himself while in exile from a corrupt court.Zongzi, a kind of glutinous rice dumpling wrapped in reed leaves, were originally prepared as sacrificial offerings for Qu Yuan’s departed soul and dropped into the river where he drowned himself.Today, however, dragon boat races are held during the festival and the zongzi are consumed by the living.农历8月15日的中秋节是观赏满月的日子。圆圆的月亮象征着圆满，进而象征着家庭团聚。中秋节日的特别食品是一种圆形的月饼，内含核桃仁、蜜饯、豆沙或蛋黄等食物。

The Mid-autumn Festival which occurs on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month(around mid-September)is an occasion for viewing the full moon.The round moon is a symbol for completeness, and by the full moon.The round moon is a symbol for completeness, and by extension, family reunion.The specialty of the day is the yuebing(mooncake), a round pastry filled with nuts, candied preserved fruits, bean paste, duck egg yolks, etc.春节是中国最重要的传统节日，标志着农历新年的开始。春节的日期按农历而定，通常出现在公历2月份前半个月的某一天，过春节又叫“过年”，意思是避开“年”这个怪物。相传“年”是古时候的一种凶猛的怪物。它的样子像强壮的公牛，长着狮子一样的头。这个怪物通常待在深山里。但每到冬末春初，它在山里找不到足够的食物就会闯入村庄找东西吃。村民们见之非常害怕，于是纷纷搬家，逃离这个怪物。后来人们发现，“年”非常害怕三样东西“红色、明亮火焰以及大声喧哗。人们为了阻止“年”进村，就把大门漆成红色，还点火烧竹子，发出噼噼啪啪的响声。从此以后，“年”再也不来村里了。一个传统就这样形成了。竹子燃烧时发出的这种响声被后来的鞭炮声所取代。这就是中国人燃放鞭炮欢庆春节的来历。

The Spring Festival, the most important traditional Chinese festival, marks the beginning of the Chinese Lunar New Year.The Spring Festival is celebrated according to the lunar calendar, and generally occurs some time in the first half of February.The Sping Festival is also called Guo Nian in Chinese, meaning keeping off the monster of Nian.The legend has it that Nian was a fierce monster back in ancient times.It looked like a strong bull with a head like that of a lion.Usually the monster stayed deep in the mountains.But at the turn of each spring, the monster, unable to find enough food in the mountains, came out of its mountain liar and entered villages to eat whatever it could catch.Villagers were so scared that they moved away to escape the ferocious monster.Later people found that Nian was afraid of three things: red color, bright villages, villagers painted their doors red, burned stalks of bamboo, which made cracking sounds.Ever since then, Nian never again came to the villages.Thus, a tradition was established.Later, the noise of the cracking bamboo was replaced by the bang of firecrackers.This is how the Chinese people began to set off firecrackers for the Spring Festival.春节期间人们通常猛吃畅饮。春节的食物比较讲究，除了常见的海鲜、家禽和肉类之外，人们还要按各自的地方习俗烹制一些传统菜肴。因为春节标志着新年的第一天，所以第一顿饭是相当重要的。饺子、汤圆、年糕和八宝饭是过年时家家户户必不可少的吉祥食品。“年糕”这个词里的“糕”字与“高”谐音，寓意来年“节节高”。香甜的汤圆则是合家团圆的象征。Customarily, lavishly consuming food and drink is a major activity during the Spring Festival.People are usually particular about their food.In addition to the popular seafood, poultry and meat, regional custom dictates that traditional favorites should be prepared and consumed.Since the festival marks the first day of a brand new year, the first meal is rather important.Such foods as jiaozi(boiled dumplings), tangyuan(soup of small rice balls cooked with fillings), niangao(New Year cake, thick steamed pudding of glutinous rice flour)and babaofan(steamed sweet glutinous rice pudding)are sings of good luck and indispensable in every household.The Chinese character gao in the world niangao is homonymous with the word “tall”, suggesting “growing up and prospering” in the new year, and the round sweet dumpling is a symbol of family reunion.春节期间的娱乐活动多种多样，丰富多彩。耍龙灯和舞狮子是春节期间的传统项目。还有一种至今仍受人欢迎的传统表演活动，叫踩高跷。根据记载，中国人的祖先开始使用高跷是为了从树上采集水果。如今，熟练的高跷表演者能够在高跷上展示惊人的技艺，表演高难度的动作。

The recreational activities during the Spring Fetival are varied and colorful.The Dragon Dance and Lion Dance are traditionally performed during the festival.Walking on stilts is another traditional performance event popular in China.According to the archives, Chinese ancestors began using stilts to help them gather fruits from trees.Today’s skillful performers can perform truly amazing feats and extremely difficult movements on stilts.现在，随着生活水平的不断提高，人们采用了新的方式庆祝新年，但不管庆祝方式怎么变，春节的精华不会变，那就是为了祈求新年吉祥好意，家家户户都会打扫得干干净净，门上都会贴上对联，人人穿上新衣裳，拿出最精美的食物，团聚在一起，互道吉利，表示祝贺。最重要的是，春节是一个合家欢聚的日子，出门在外的人总要想方设法在除夕夜到来之前赶回家，吃上一年中最重要的一顿饭—“团圆饭”。

Nowadays, with the improvement of living standards, people have taken up new ways to celebrate the traditional Chinese New year.No matter what changes there might be, the traditional highlights of the Spring Festival will remain the same: hoping for a propitious and happy new year, each family will clean up the house and put up an antithetical couplet on each side of the door.Dressed up in their best, people will get together, treat each other to the most delicious foods and exchange auspicious greetings.Most important of all, the Spring Festival is the occasion for a family reunion.People away from home for various reasons will always try their best to come back home before the New Year’s Eve for the family reunion dinner, the most important meal of the year.从传统意义上说，春节以元宵节为终结日。每年农历正月十五的元宵节又被称之为“灯节”，自古以来就是展览和观赏花灯的盛大节日。这一节日正如宋词所描写的那样：“鱼灯万里耀长空，闹灯元宵处处同。顶马狮龙人物好，街歌巷舞尽儿童。”

Traditionally, the Spring Festival season ends with the Lantern Festival which falls on the 15th of the first lunar month.The Lantern Festival has been the great occasion to display and watch lanterns since antiquity.A poet of the Song Dynasty wrote these lines, “The sky is ablaze with myriads of fish-shaped lanterns.It is fun everywhere on the Lantern Festival.Lanterns in shape of horse, lion, dragon and human figure are all attractive.Streets and lanes are packed with singing and dancing children.”

我今天简要介绍了一下中国的传统节日，希望各位朋友有机会去亲身体验一下我国传统节日的欢乐气氛。

I have given a brief introduction of traditional Chinese festivals.I sincerely hope that you have the chance to experience for yourself the happy festival atmosphere in China.8-3教育之本The Purpose of Education 我代表香港中文大学欢迎各位同学。

Welcome to the Chinese University of Hong Kong.香港中文大学，简称“中大”，成立于1963年，由当时的崇基学院、新亚书院和联合书院合并而成。中大是一所研究型综合大学，以“结合传统与现代、融合中国与西方”为创校使命。中大设有文学院、工商管理学院、教育学院、工程学院、医学院、理学院、社会科学院和法学院等8个学院。

The Chinese University of Hong Kong, CUHK for short, was founded in 1963, which comprises the original Chung Chi College, New Asia College and The United College.CUHK is a research-oriented comprehensive university with a world vision and a mission to combine tradition with modernity and bring together China and the West.At CUHK, there are eight faculties, namely, Arts, Business Administration, Education, Engineering, Medicine, Science and Social Science, and Law.40多年来，我们一直致力于弘扬中华传统文化，坚持双语教育，并推行独特的书院制度，在香港高等教育界卓然而立。中大校园占地达134公顷，是世界上最美丽的校园之一。For more than 40 years, we have been distinguished from other local universities by virtue of our rich Chinese cultural heritage, bilingual education, and our unique college system.Instruction is conducted in both Chinese and English.CUHK’s 134-hectare campus is one of the most beautiful campuses in the world.中大的师生来自世界各地。我们有教职员5200多人、近万名本科生、约2000名研究生，其中约2500人来自45个不同的国家和地区。我们开设的主、副修课程各有58门，可供学生自由选修。中大与全球近200所高等院校建立了学生交换计划。以2006年为例，约有800名海外交换生来到中大进行一个学期以上的学习交流，与我们的学生互相切磋；而人数相当的中大学生则赴海外学习，亲身体验异国文化。此外，中在还有7000名研究生通过接受继续教育和专业教育获取研究生文凭或证书。

CUHK’s faculty and students come from all corners of the world.We have more than 5,200 staff members, approximately 10,000 undergraduates and 2,000 postgraduate students.Of these students, some 2,500 are from 45 countries and regions outside Hong Kong.We offer 58 majors’ programmers and 58 minors’ programmes for undergraduate students to choose from.We also have exchanges programmes with almost 200 institutions of higher learning around the world.In 2006, for example, approximately 800 exchange students spent a semester or more at CUHK and they and our students learned from each other by exchanging views, and our students learned from each other by exchanging views, and an approximately equal number of CUHK students studied abroad and experienced foreign cultures.In addition, 7,000 postgraduate students study in CUHK’s continuing and professional education programmes leading to postgraduate diplomas.中大各学院的课程设计灵活，使学生在接受专业训练的同时，他们的创意也得以发挥。中大实行灵活的学分制，学生可在3年内修满99个学分毕业。学分制不仅有助于培养又专又博的人才，而且还赋予学生更大的学习自主权。中大的多元教育有助于充分发挥每一个学生的潜能。

CUHK’s faculties offer programmes designed with flexible structure to encourage creativity while grounding students in specialized knowledge.The flexible credit unit system, requiring the completion of 99 units in 3 years, allows a balance between depth with breadth, and a high degree of free choice by students in designing their own learning.The multi-faceted education at CUHK helps to bring out the best in every student.中大的校训“博文约礼”出自《论语》，讲求智育与德育并重。我们既强调知识的创造与传承，又注重学生的全面发展，学校致力于培养怀抱理想、目光远大、品德高尚的年轻人。The CUHK motto “Broadening one’s intellectual horizon and keeping within the bounds of propriety”, which is taken from the Analects of Confucius, gives equal stress to the intellectual and moral aspects of education.At CUHK, we emphasize not only creation and knowledge but also the development of the whole person, both socially and spiritually.We aim to nurture young people with vision, moral character and global mindset.孔子曰：“兴于诗，立于礼，成于乐。”诗与乐能够打动人心，陶冶性灵。以文学和艺术来陶冶学子的性格品德，可收到潜移默化之效果，并非一般知识传授所能做到。

Confucius said, “It is by the Odes that the mind is aroused.It is by the Rules of Propriety that the character is established.It is from the Music that the finish is received.” Poetry and music can touch the soul and cultivate the spirit.The workings of the arts and literature are such that they change and influence the temperament unobtrusively and imperceptibly, something which classroom pedagogy cannot achieve.作为一所综合性大学，中大的诸多院系提供多种学科教育，十分注重通识教育，让莘莘学子得以探求广博的知识。“学而后识礼”，学生适当运用所学知识，既可自律，又可促成群体生活的和谐。

As a comprehensive university, its many6 academic departments offer a wide range of courses that cover diverse disciplines and provide an all-round undergraduate programme for the students.Its General Education Programme forms an integral part of such a programme to provide ample opportunities for young people to broaden their horizons.“Moral propriety follows naturally intellectual development.” Through their studies, students will learn how to stay in the right path, how to exercise self-discipline, and how to create harmony in the community.中大以中国古代神话中的“凤”为校徽，因为自汉代以来，凤被视为“南方之鸟”，是高贵、美丽、忠耿和庄严的象征。中大的校色是紫色和金色，紫色象征热诚和忠耿，金色则象征坚毅和果敢。

The emblem of the University is the mythical Chinese bird feng.Feng, regarded since the Han Dynasty as the “Bird of the South”, is a symbol of nobility, beauty, loyalty and majesty.Purple and gold are chosen as university colours, with purple representing devotion and loyalty and gold representing perseverance and resolution.中大矢志发展成为一所国内领先、东南亚地区的世界级的卓越学府。欢迎你们加入我们的行列。Join us in our journey to become a leading university in China and an international university of choice in East Asia.8-4出版王者The Super-Publisher 欢迎各位来访中国国际出版集团的总部大楼。

第三篇：口译学习心得

学习口译的小结

学习口译课程的收获：

口译课程对于我们是一个全新的挑战，初接触时觉得过程甚是艰难。经过一个学期的学习与磨合，我在听译方面能的能力有了些提高，虽然事实上还只是知道了些皮毛而已。

从口译的基本理论知识上，明白了什么是口译、口译的特点、口译的类型等等；从课堂上的练习上，听辨信息能力、辨音能力也得到了提高；从老师教授的学习方法上，明白了如何进行口译记忆与记录口译笔记等。所授所学十分的丰富，可实际的接受能力又是因人而异的。

个人在口译学习上的问题：

首要的问题是听力，这是我的弱项之一。课堂一直都在训练，毕竟时间有限。知道这只能是个人的问题。老师也只能耳提面命，要加强这方面的训练呀。因此也常常觉得对老师有种愧疚感。

第二，记忆方面。听的时候，脑子要记，笔头也要记。对于手脑平衡思维不够的，还真是个大麻烦。

第三，则是翻译。在听的时候，所有接受到的信息，需要在短时间安内经过逻辑思维，以清晰的语言组织出来。这需要有较好的母语表达能力以及广博的知识。总而言之，这是个复杂的过程。口译对口译工作者的要求很高。扎实的语言基础、较强的记忆力、较好的表达能力、良好的心理素质等都是口译员应该具备的素质。

建议；

一、避免制造紧张的氛围，因为会导致同学们的思维混乱，口齿不清。也需要提高同学们的心理素质。

二、可以设置口译模拟。让同学们互相合作。在犯错误的过程中，我们会学会思考，进而容易接受。

作为个人，也许将来我不是从事口译员的工作，我相信今天所学的知识在潜移默化中对我是很有助益的。在今后，我会加强对自身的管理，为将来的可能口译机会做准备。

谢谢老师！

第一个月: 模仿新闻1h + 新闻精听 2h + 实用英语口译教程 1h篇二：口译学习方法 if youre just beginning to explore interpretation as a career choice, the first thing you need to know is that with simultaneous interpretation, youre multitasking like crazy.you listen to what the speaker says, wait a second or two, interpret what they said while at the same time listen to what the speaker says next and remember that so you can interpret that segment correctly when youre done with the current one your working on!thats why a simultaneous interpreter needs at least a 5 minute break for every hour of interpretation.so in order to improve your skills, you need to be able to multitask on a high level.the very first step then is to do something called shadowing.shadowing is repeating what the speaker says word for word in the same language.this will get you used to maintaining the correct delay and will help you listen to what the speaker says while repeating what he/she has just said.the next step is to add another element while your shadowing.this can be something simple like bouncing a ball to yourself or drawing a simple picture while youre shadowing.what this does is get your brain used to doing multiple things at once.the goal is to get to where youre doing things on a subconscious level because if you have to think while you interpret, youll be dead in the water.finally, when you can do multiple things while shadowing(in both languages), its time to add in the actual interpretation.it is a jump to go from shadowing to full-fledged interpretation, but the shadowing part is necessary to help you get a feel for the super-linguistic phenomenon youll encounter in the actual interpretation, such as the speed of different speakers, how much you can delay, and endurance.the great thing about practicing simultaneous interpretation is that you can do it anywhere.while youre driving, tune your radio to talk radio and shadow what the host and callers say.while exercising with your ipod, listen to some podcasts and practice shadowing or interpreting what is being said.shadowing while exercising is definitely multitasking!just remember that even though interpretation is difficult, it is a skill that can be learned after a lot of practice, so if youre willing to stick to it, you will reach your goals.as part of our degree training, we did a couple of interpreter training exercises to get a feel for what it was like to interpret.when we did our training, we would go into a small room, listen to a speech played back on a cassette tape, and use that tape to do whatever exercise we were supposed to do that day, whether it was shadowing, or interpreting(or in my case, a sad, sad excuse for interpreting).the one thing about the tapes, though, was that they were cumbersome.it was hard finding the right spot, you couldnt easily go back and go over a spot you wanted to try again, and it was difficult if you wanted to record yourself trying to interpret because that meant you had to deal with two tapes.well, luckily, the internet(and technology in general)has given interpreters some more convenient tools for simultaneous interpreter training.now you dont have to go to a separate room somewhere and use specialized equipment to at least find out if interpreting is something that you like to do or get more advanced training in.as you can see in the video below, the nearly 9 minute-long press conference is entirely in spanish.简历：外交部翻译室

学生：我比较倾向于细化。常常巴不得把一篇材料中涉及的所有背景知识弄明白，把所有的词汇都列出来，甚至还会对比较难的文章进行翻译，觉得只有这样做才会心安。但这样一来，进度就会非常慢。而且一篇翻译过的文章应该就不再适合同传练习了，因为我已经知道讲者的内容，没有新鲜感了。有人认为可先同传一遍，听自己的录音，然后再对文本进行交传。但是有时吃得太透不被鼓励。我现在的搭档非常非常刻苦，这对我来说是一件求之不得的事情，但是这位同学似乎更注重于练习时间的长度与材料的篇数，而对准确度要求不太高。在这个程度的把握上，我有些不知所措。

汤的理解： 1.没有任何一点疑问了才算过关，也就是100%吃透。这样要求看似不合理，实际是必须的，尽管有难度。试想：真正的口译现场千变万化的、无法预测讲话具体内容和讨论边界，各种知识永远不够用。是不是？所以平时练习应该做到都搞透，自己上网、搭档互助、请教老师（注意：知识面的东西，像海洋，往往老师也不能当面给你答案，所以要在实在无法获得答案的情况下再请教老师，并给老师解答的时间，比如给其发邮件，老师解决问题的经验丰富，他或她也可以请教其同事好友，或查阅相关网络或资料，最终也许能给你解答。总之不篇三：中级口译相关学习方法

:1.下个月上旬也就是2009年3月14日，我要参加上海市中级口译笔试部份的考试。听力我想问题不大，现在我也在听写“中口”的听力资料。阅读有些问题，我明显感到时间不够而且看得有些一知半解，错误率挺高。它的要求是在五十分钟内读6篇文章，平均下来一篇也就留给考生8分钟左右的时间，而且篇幅很长词汇量也挺多的。

虽然special english的文章很简单没什么难度，但平时我也会买一份shanghai daily 看看，里面的文章也挺好理解的。可为什么“中口”里的文章看得却令人发晕，或许是里面存在着许多“因、转、并、比”的逻辑关系。在您的讲座中强调阅读也要一字一字“抠”，力求字字懂，句句懂。可考试只有五十分钟，时间不允许啊！另外新东方教口译的老师推荐的一种方法是：选重点的读。也就是跳过“分词在句首的句子、引语、插入语、例子„..”，只读专家的话，转折强调词以后的句子„..。对此我就比较困惑了，阅读到底该怎么“读”，您能否帮我指点一下。2.“中口”考试中汉译英的考题都是些政治性很强的文章，如：“我国首次月球探测工程的成功，实现了中华民族的千年奔月梦想，并开始了中国人走向深空探索宇宙奥秘的时代，标志着我国已经进入世界具有探测能力的国家行列。这是我国推进自主创新、建设创新型国家取得的又一标志性成果，是中华民族在攀登世界科技高峰征程上实现的又一历史性跨越，是中华民族为人类和平并发利用外层空间作出的又一重大贡献。全体中华儿女都为我们伟大祖国取得的这一辉煌成就感到骄傲和自豪！”我现在的水平只能背一背special english里的文章，让我翻上述这段文字确实有些困难。怎么办呢？我该如何准备？（提问者：应届毕业生网友，提问时间:2009年03月30日）

答: 长篇巨制的问题，问得好不辛苦！呵呵 做阅读是很泛泛的了，建立在一定英语水平上才谈得上“技巧”，首先，从应试的角度，不需要也不可能看通每篇文章。时间有限，先看题目，然后略读全文，把握主旨，然后到文中找关键字，重点读和问题相关的句子，其他的只好扫一眼过去了。如果像你分析的那样“精读”，恐怕15分钟也搞不定。至于翻译，更是与语言基础相关，中级口译，翻译并不难的，所以你记住，表达出意思，基本分就有了。政治类经济类的也不难，你会背书，为什么不看翻译书，那本书上尽是这些与时俱进，开拓创新之类的套话，背出来，问题就解决了。中级口译不会让你翻译类似文言文的，最重要的意

思表达出来，要想翻译得高分，比听力阅读难得多了。长难句如果翻译有困难，把它拆开，平时要留心英语中老长的句子，多加分析，很快自己就会翻译的。好吧，加油吧。祝你好运

推荐：

重点阅读editorial和feature这种文体，文体特点：实效性、争议性

杂志national geographic 电子光盘discovery 看盘的方法：听原声看英文字幕 口试有一定难度，首先你要加强自己的口语和听力能力，这点是硬的，谁都没办法给你提供捷径。

然后，你要会速记。因为音带速度很快，一些关键性的词语很容易漏掉而因此失分，很不值。这里有一点很重要，你要学会提炼关键词，把没用的句子剔除。不然时间会来不及的。最后，就是口译词汇的背诵了，因为和常用词汇不同，比较官方。所以，一定要事先有一定的词汇量，这样才不怕听不懂，说不出。

我就是这么学口译的，至于有什么书么。一个是 梅德明教授的教材是最关键的，还有昂立的中口必备是不错的参考书，建议你去买一本看看。希望我的回答能给你的学习有所帮助！！

多练,听原版英语,做真题.第一，去学一点简单的速记 第二，多听多翻多练。

第三，全方面提高自己的英语水平，比如多看英文报纸，原版碟等等。推荐：shanghai star，轻松有趣的一份报纸

把那本口译书背出来，我就是这么过的。

中级口译口试该如何准备？

本文作者：汪亮 悄无声息间，上海中高级口译考试迎来了第十二个年头，而这十二年也见证了口译考试从最初的不为人所知，到普遍接受，再到如今 ” 满城尽报中高口 ” 热潮的点点滴滴。从历年中级口译第二部分的考试情况来看，难度逐年加大。这种难度不仅仅反映在单词，句型的复杂程度，而且反映在句子的长度上。此外，考试中对于考生需要掌握的背景知识的深度也是 2000 年之前难以想象的。下面，笔者就结合在上海新东方中级口译班上的教学经验，针对如何备考 2007 年口译第二阶段口试给广大考生提一些建议，希望能够对大家有所帮助。第二阶段口试共分两部分。一是三分钟的英语命题口语，二是四段口译：二段英译中、二段中译英。第一部分，即三分钟口语，要求考生用英文表达自己对于所给题目的观点，要求观点清晰，论据充足，表达流利，语法正确。从考试的普遍情况来看，说不满三分钟是很多考生最终失败的主要原因。其根源就在于考生平时忽视了对于这个部分的练习，总以为考前背几个主题方面的句子或者段落就可以解决问题。其实不然。因为口语的内容五花八门，包罗万象，不是简简单单背几个段落就可以的。这需要考生平时长期系统的口语练习。

笔者拙见，考生首先应扩充自己的知识面，尽量能够多阅读报刊，杂志，多听多看新闻，把握住最新的时事动态。原因很明显，第二部分口试对于时事的考核是非常多的，很多考生其实有不错的词汇量和口语表达能力，但是由于对某个主题，尤其是自己平时不太熟悉的主题缺乏了解，导致在考试中出现无话可说的窘境，而其结果只能是和两位考官“相顾无言，惟有泪千行。”与其考前临时抱佛脚，不如平时苦炼内功。考生可以每天准备一个主题，按照论点，论据，论证，结论的步骤来进行阐述，尽量控制在三分钟以内。一般来说，一个月之内，就会得到初步的效果。实际上，在考试中，只要考生能够流利的用英语对一个主题表达一分到一分二十秒钟的时间就已经足够了。篇四：初级口译学习方法

初级口译学习方法 佳域通翻译公司提供

毋庸置疑，学好英语是非常有重要的，而能够说英语才是最终目的，译网天下总结了一下初级口译的学习方法，给初级口译学员提供一点参考。

第一、模拟

模拟是最好的提供口语能力的方法之一，通过多模拟电影、电视或以英语为母语的人的语音和语调来提高自己的口语能力。

第二、朗读

要想提高口语能力，一定要大声的把英文读出来，而且要带有意识的去模拟母语朗读也可以说是第二模拟，所以也需要有意识地以磁带里的语音、语调去朗读。在朗读时，可以把自己的声音录下来，认真听一听，并进行比较，找出差距，发现自己的弱点。

第三、复述

复述是在模拟、朗读之后的一个再创作的过程，它比背诵要难。可以尽量用自己的话复述朗读、听过的或阅读过的，也可以完全摆脱原文，组织、创作材料内容。对于程度较差的人，可以先复述原文的中心思想，一句、两句话即可。然后，由少至多。复述是在没有人对话的情况下提高口语最有效的途径之一。

第四、背诵

练习口语不免背诵一些东西，但很多人不喜欢背诵。不过，背诵一些名篇偶是非常有必要的.基础较差的人一定要背诵一些常用的句型和表达方式。

第五，坚持用英语写日记。用英语写日记无论是对提高口语还是提高英语其他方面的能力都是一个行之有效的好方法

毋庸置疑，学好英语是非常有重要的，而能够说英语才是最终目的，译网天下总结了一下初级口译的学习方法，给初级口译学员提供一点参考。篇五：无敌英语口译学习方法

毕业之后工作两年，辞职孤单一人来到北京准备考研。

当初准备的是北外的高翻学院，也就是大家俗称的同传专业。但是那时候除了看的是同传的高薪之外，还有自己提高自己的英语水平。

我一开始，英语程度也就是6级，但是经常锻炼口语，所以交流很流畅。这是我惟一的优势，其他的，没有工作，计算机专业，看来都不是什么好事情。可是我有着很多人没有的一样东西。那就是坚定的毅力。这样是我后来能够成功被录取的最重要的一点。

从那年1月开始，我认真准备，但是当时对于高翻没有清晰的概念，所以很幼稚的觉得，把一套新东方推荐的60篇文章背诵下来，然后背诵gre词汇就可以解决问题了。结果，大概一个月之后，发现语言运用能力的确有所提高，但是要是参加考试远远不够，因为那时候开始接触<经济学家>，发现根本看不懂。于是在网络上疯狂的搜索和高翻相关的内容，论坛，网站，blog等等，也开始获得了大量的信息。其中几个重要的网站在这里推荐一下： 如果你想要找一个最综合的口译资料资源练习方法的网站，就去这里看看

为了能够清晰明了的说明我自己的努力过程，我把自己针对每一个考试所必需掌握的技能，进行的练习列出来：

英语基础------中英互译新概念3，4册，新东方精选60篇文章，张培基散文50篇，实用口译教程全部，现代汉英口译教程，现代汉英口译教程练习册，然后熟练背诵，这一共7本书！其实还有很多其他的我背诵了只有2-3遍的，就不想提了。这些书腰背诵至少3-4遍，我自己背诵了大概有10遍左右，之后总结当中重要的，自己不熟练的句型，词组等等，要针对自己。

听力------这个是我自己感到最重要的，为了锻炼听力，我找到了普特论坛，并且严格的每天跟着一起训练，方法大家都可以在论坛上找到。每天听写bbc，因为voa太简单，大概一个月左右就可以完全听懂。所以我一直坚持精听bbc直到那年9月份，我找到了一个软件，可以把音频变速，叫做nv player，大家搜索，可以找到并且免费下载，其他的软件我也尝试了，但是基本上都还是声音会失真，但是这个软件只会加快速度，声音不会失真。之后我开始把bbc变速听，变到1。1，1。2，，，最后倒了2倍速，你听起来这个变速可能没有什么大不了的，但是当你真正的用这个软件开始听的时候，才发现，就算是从1。1跳到1。2你都会有很多东西突然间就听不懂了，与此同时，我还每天下载联合国网站的会议现场和白宫的会议现场，不断的变速听，而且普特论坛上又各种各样的材料共我选择，我也在不断的精听，精练，倒了10月，我开始精听bbc2倍速，同时开始了我正式的同传练习，是的，我已经可以进行同传了，不过都是同传un的现场，还有白宫的现场，每天都是一个小时左右，大概过了一个月，我开始同传voa新闻，新闻的同传，在同传界是一个忌讳，也就是说没有人去做新闻同传，因为信息集中，密度大，速度太快，挑战太大，但是我很勇敢的接受了挑战，并且开始坚持每天同传新闻，因为我发现un会议和美国白宫的会议太简单了，我每天都会把un 和美国白宫的会议现场变成2倍速来做泛听，基本上一次就可以听懂了。新增国内会外会议视频下载---联合国，白宫，英国议会，中国国家新闻办公室

后来我曾经尝试一次在安南进行的联合国的演讲录像，直接进行同传，基本上对我来说就是放慢镜头！每次听2倍速的作用就显现出来了，因为最后我发现基本上90%的安南演讲内容我都同传出来了。在此期间，我不但坚持锻炼同传新闻voa，并且开始尝试加速同传，也就是把新闻变速到1。3倍速同传，这个的确非常又难度，但是我还是克服了，这需要很多的勇气还有毅力，很多人会问我，你怎么又这样的动力，我说，他们都源自我的梦想，一个心中的梦想，希望能够成为一个语言运用自如的人，运用自己的天分非常自如的人。于是，渐渐的，我到了12月份，已经可以同传voa新闻的1。5倍速了，这个是非常难的，因为速度很快，而你有必须要同时传译，但是这些都造就了我非凡的反映速度，还有我稳定的心理素质，因为，现在我听人们说话，就真的好像在放慢镜头一般。而且12月份的时候我也开始同传cnn，也是1。5倍速，以及npr，但是bbc我还从来没有尝试过，因为bbc我一直都留给自己做每天的精听 在后来，voa的同传我就变速倒了1。7倍速了，但是这已经是今年的事情了。

第五篇：口译考试

3.2中国酒店

中国的酒店按照星级标准划分为一级、二级和三级酒店。

五星级和大多数的四星级酒店属于一级酒店。一级酒店的客房配备了全套浴室，冰箱，电话以及卫星电视。这些酒店都拥有可以通过中央空调设备调节气温的遥控。其他由酒店提供的附属设施包括如商务中心、会议设施、美容室、桑拿浴室、外汇和保龄球中心、迪斯科舞厅、游泳池、健身馆、饭店、咖啡厅、购物中心以及酒吧等，全天24小时开放。

二级酒店大致包括三星级酒店和一些二星级酒店。其客房设施和服务没有达到一级酒店的标准。不过，旅游团通常更乐意选择住二级酒店。

说到设施和服务，三级酒店看起来跟西方国家的汽车旅馆差不多。这些三级酒店的硬件设施自然比起那些二级酒店来是要差一些。但是，这些酒店的费用只需低于二级酒店价格的一半的价格。因此，也广受游客的喜欢。

3.3 史蒂夫 福布斯谈《福布斯》

我祖父20世纪初来到美国。他离开英格兰时身上没什么钱。连他在内兄弟姐妹10人，不过他自小就受到很好的教育。像许多人一样，他也是满怀憧憬和理想来到美国的。他创办了《福布斯》杂志，报道那些实干家，那些改变商业社会的人。

我祖父常说，做生意不是堆积百万财富，而是为带来幸福快乐。如今我们讲到公司、经营，文章中会用到许多数字，但焦点一直放在人上面。对公司来说，最重要的是人，而不是资产负债表。以前我祖父是这样看的，我们现在也是这样看的。

当前的世界信息泛滥，足以将人淹没，人们迫切需要一本刊物来解读这些信息，告诉读者哪些重要，哪些不重要。这就是《福布斯》的价值所在。我们提供额外的视角和判断。我们从不停留于表面，总想看看公司到底是如何经营的，正是当今芜杂繁多的信息使得《福布斯》日益重要。

3.4 Introduction to an arts and crafts company

Distinguished guests, dear friends,I feel honored to have this opportunity to introduce our company to you through the platform provided by this conference.Founded 15 years ago, we are a company specializing in the design, manufacture and sales of handicrafts.Fifteen years ago our staff numbered 50;now the figure is 1,700.Fifteen years ago we rented a facility covering a floor space of 4,500 square meters;now our own facility covers a floor space of 24,000 square meters.These figures speak loudly and clearly of our success.Our leading products are various architectural exotic European cathedrals, the Empire State Building, the White House, and the Pentagon in the U.S., along with cartoon animal toys and Christmas gifts with a variety of designs.Our designs have become trend setters in the industry.Nowadays, our products are sold worldwide in more than twenty countries including Japan, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, America, the UK, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Sweden, and Germany.They are well received by both local importers and customers.For fifteen years our output value has manifested an annual growth rate of 30%.4.4 Preserve core values of the Lunar New Year

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.Dating back 3,000 years, it celebrates the passing of a peaceful year and welcomes a new year.The reunion dinner, eaten on New Year’s Eve, is the most special, 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.It underscores the supreme importance of the family in Chinese culture, and aims at strengthening the sense of togetherness and cohesion.The way people celebrate the New Year embodies two important core values.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.The female members are always held responsible for preparing the dinner, and some rich families may take on extra hands.The second value lies in the happy visits mutually made between friends and relatives, a good way to strengthen kinship and friendship.However, economic development has resulted in some changes in lifestyles.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 given way to New Year greetings via telephone or text messages.Some families even go to such extremes as to travel and seek temporary refuge in a hotel so as to avoid being visited.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.Some pessimists contend that, as the popularity of western culture grows, Chinese traditional festivals gradually lose their original meaning and degenerate into commercial festivals like Christmas.The Spring Festival is an important part of the Chinese cultural heritage, and it will continue to be celebrated.The modes of celebration may change, but the core value should be sustained: that of respect for kinship and friendship.5.2 游览白宫

两百多年来，白宫作为美国总统、美国政府以及美国人民的标志一直屹立在那里。和这个国家的首都的历史一样，白宫的历史开始于1790年12月。华盛顿总统和城市设计师皮埃尔·雷芬一起选择该址作为新的居住地，即现在的宾夕法尼亚大街1600号。

1792年10月，当第一块奠基石造好的时候，白宫的建设就开始了。尽管华盛顿总统监督了白宫的建设，但是他从未入主白宫。直到1800年，也就是白宫临近竣工的时候，第一位入主者约翰·亚当斯总统和他的妻子阿比盖尔搬进了白宫。从那以后，每位入主白宫的总体都会改变原有的装潢或摆设，使得白宫以新面貌出现。

白宫有着极其独特和引人注目的历史。1814年，白宫曾被付之一炬。1929年，白宫的西翼也曾被纵火。白宫的内部全部修复过。尽管如此，其外围石墙就是两百多年前白宫建成时建造的。

在星期二至星期六这段时间的上午，白宫是全面开放的。而星期天和星期一，则不对外开放。所有在白宫内的旅游观光都是免费的。

在游客进入白宫时，通过安全检查后方可携带照相机入内。但是，在白宫内禁止拍照和录像。

9.3 Multivariate family planning policy in China

It has been over two decades since China adopted the Family Planning Policy.However, there still exist misunderstandings about this policy.People mistakenly think that China’s Family Planning Policy equals the One Child Policy, which allows

one couple to have only one child.Their impression is that this policy is implemented more strictly in urban areas: in cities where people are better-off, one couple can have only one child, while in the poor rural areas, one couple can have two or three children.Furthermore, they think that the One Child Policy is the cause of gender imbalance.I will now clarify these misunderstandings.As a matter of fact, the policy adopted in the early 1980s is a multivariate policy called the Family Planning Policy, or the fertility policy.Its multivariate nature can be proved by two facts.First, the total fertility rate in China now stands at 1.8, which means there is more than one child per family in most areas.For example, there is generally only one child in a family in urban areas, but two in rural areas, and three in ethnic minority areas.In some areas, like Tibet, there are no restrictions at all on the number of children a family can have.We can tell from this fact that China’s Family Planning Policy varies in accordance with the economic and social development level of different areas.Secondly, China is seeing an unbalanced sex ratio at birth at the moment.The sex ratio at birth refers to the number of boys born per 100 girls born.This is not the same concept as the sex ratio of the total population.The unbalance is not entirely the result of the Family Planning Policy.I would like to cite two interesting examples.My first example is the ROK.In 1988, the sex ratio at birth in the ROK was 114, and the ratio now in China is 117.I believe there is no family planning policy in the ROK.My second example is Singapore, whose sex ratio at birth in1984 was 109.Why is it a common problem in Asia? There are two reasons.The first reason is the influence of traditional culture and ideology, that is, a preference for sons, which poses a great problem for the sex ratio at birth.Second, China’s unbalanced birth ratio is attributable to the poor social security in rural areas.The Chinese government has launched a nationwide Girl Care Project to hamper the rising sex ratio at birth.This project aims to educate the general public to abandon their traditional preference for male children and to advocate female children’s status and rights.Secondly, the Chinese government is also making an effort to establish and improve the social security system, particularly in rural areas.Thirdly, the phenomenon of allowing one child for urban families and two to three children for families in poor areas is called reverse selection of population quality.I have two points to make in the regard.The policy in rural areas is made in accordance with the economic situation there.The social security system is being gradually improved in rural areas.If a stringent One Child policy is to be introduced in this process, the household insurance coverage is likely to be reduced for rural families.Therefore, the number of children allowed in rural families is dependent on the economic situation.10.3 中国与欧盟的关系

女士们、先生们、朋友们：

今天，我很荣幸给大家介绍欧盟的一些情况以及欧盟与中国的关系。

欧盟全称叫欧洲联盟，是在欧洲共同体基础上有25个独立的国家组成的，目的是为了加强政治、经济和社会合作。原来叫“欧共体”或“欧洲经济共同体”。

目前的25个成员国是：奥地利、比利时、丹麦、芬兰、法国、德国、希腊、爱尔兰、意大利、卢森堡、荷兰、葡萄牙、西班牙、瑞典、英国、塞浦路斯（希腊部分）、捷克共和国、爱沙尼亚、匈牙利、拉脱维亚、立陶宛、马耳他、波兰、斯洛伐克、斯洛文尼亚。欧盟25国总面积400平方公里，差不多半个中国的面积。总人口数为4.544亿，排行第三，仅次于中国和印度，约占世界总人口的7%。

欧盟同一货币为欧元，2002年一月正式启用。到目前为止，已经有12个欧盟国家用欧元取代其本国货币。同一货币使旅行和价格比较容易些，它还为欧洲的商业往来、刺激增长和竞争创造了一个稳定的环境。

目前为止，欧盟的国内生产总值逾10万亿美元。作为一个整体，这个规模与它的主要竞争对手美国差不多。经济总量和贸易总额分别占全球25%和35%。

欧盟与中国的关系十分良好。今年5月欧盟与中国就建交30周年了。去年，欧盟与中国的进出口贸易总额达到2，000亿欧元。德国是中国的最大贸易伙伴，英国、荷兰名列第二和第三。

欧盟正抓住当前这一大好历史机遇-团结曾经分裂的欧洲大陆，创造一个和平、稳定、民主的欧洲。这次欧盟的扩大还将创造一个几乎拥有5亿消费者的大市场，这个市场饱含经济的增长和不断繁荣的极大潜力。

我的话完了，谢谢大家！

11.3倾销与反倾销

如果一家公司以比自己国内正常市场价格更低的价格出口商品，即构成“倾销”。有些人认为这是不正当竞争但有些则持不同意见。但许多国家的政府采取一些行动抵制倾销行为以保护本国市场。世贸组织的协定并没有针对反倾销的制裁措施。它侧重于规定一些政府是否可以或者不可以对倾销行为采取行动-它通常被称为“反倾销协定”。

典型的反倾销行动的手段是指对特定的出口国的特定产品征收额外进口关税，以便将其价格接近“正常价值”或消除对进口国国内产业的损害。

一般而言，美国、欧盟、澳大利亚和加拿大一直是反倾销措施的主要支持者。四个传统成员发起的案件占了世贸组织反倾销案件总数的45%之多的记录。

为什么发展中国家容易被锁定？

首先，外向型经济容易引起贸易争端。由于积极从事出口是促进国内经济发展的捷径，许多发展中国家采取了出口型政策。因此，他们的经济比发达国家更依赖于对外贸易，发展中国家和发达国家难免会有许多摩擦冲突。

第二，发展中国家的出口价格非常低。由于劳动力比发达国家更便宜，产品成本低是可以理解的。此外，来自发展中国家的产品往往不是精心设计也不是成品，从而会影响价格。相反，发达国家的劳动密集型产业是夕阳产业，它们远远没有其他知识型产业有竞争力。产品价格在它们的国内市场上不合情理的高。这些因素容易引起国内产业和当局的注意。

12.4 The Secret of Nano Technology

The term nanotechnology may not sound unfamiliar any more.It has become a buzzword within the hi-tech community, but when asked what’s it about and its impact on our life, I’m afraid many people are not able to answer right away.In fact, it’s already a part of daily life for many.The promise of nanotechnology is almost unlimited.If you think nanotechnology is all in the future, think again.Nano trousers are already on sale in the United States.They feel like ordinary cotton trousers but there’s a thin nano layer, which resists spills and stains.So, if you spill your drink, this is what happens, it just runs off.The trousers aren’t even damp.So nano technology is the science of the very small.But how small is small? Well imagine I was shrunk to a 1,000 times smaller.I’d be about as big as the eye of a fly, but nano is even

smaller than that.In fact, much, much smaller.Imagine I was shrunk again, this time 10,000 times.I’d be about as big as a virus, but nano is even smaller than that.You’d have to shrink4 me another 100 times to get the nano version of me, a billion times smaller than the real me.Industry is already building devices on that scale.Here in Cambridge they’re making very thin nano layers of a plastic that emits light when electrical current runs through it.The technology will soon be on the market, in mobile phones with very bright, energy-saving displays.People will see these initially in fairly simple products like mobile phones but ultimately they will be in TV’s, and when the technology moves on to plastic, you’ll have the roll-down TV that you can put on your wall.Nanotechnology can also be applied to medicine.Ultimately, it will be applied in making a chip that can go into the body, which will release a drug or a whole variety of drugs at an assigned period of time, thus having a healing effect on the body.Nanotechnology can be used in many other fields which are closely related to our daily life as well.The promise of nanotechnology is almost unlimited.That’s why the government is backing itstrongly, yet still many critics fear possible side effects.
