His ignorance in history resulted in hfailure in the interview The soldiers would fight to death before they surrender His childhood is free from anxiety.技巧: 反译
英语中有些常用肯定式的词,往往在中文中有否定的含义,这些词在翻译的时候经常要从反面进攻!动词 miss, neglect, fail, ignore, refrain(from), deny, refuse 名词: failure, ignorance, absence, lack 形容词:free, absent, last, short 副词: too, otherwise 介词: beyond, above, before 连接词 unless, or 比如:
His ignorance of history failed him in the exam.His childhood is free from anxiety.History beckons again.We have begun to write a new chapter for peace and progress in our histories,with America and China going forward hand in-hand.
We must always be realistic about our relationship,frankly acknowledging the fundamental differences in ideology and institutions between our two societies.
Yes,let us acknowledge those differences;let us never minimize them but let us not be dominated by them.
I have not come to China to hold forth on what divides us,but to build on what binds us.I have not come to dwell on a closed-door past,but to urge that Americans and Chinese look to the beautiful future.I am firmly convinced that, together,we can and will make tomorrow a better day.
We may live at nearly opposite ends of the world. We may be distinctly different in languages,customs,and political beliefs;but on many vital questions of our time there is little distance between the American and Chinese people.
We have always believed the heritage of our past is the seed that brings forth the harvest of our future. And from our roots, our forefathers have drawn tremendous power from faith and freedom.Trust the people--these three words are not only the heart and soul of American history,but the most powerful force for human progress in the world today. Like China,our people see the future in the eyes of our children.And like China,we revere our elders.To be as good as our fathers and mothers, we must be better.
Over a century ago,Grant,who was then a former president,visited your country and saw China’s great potential.“I see dawning...”Grant wrote, “the beginning of a change.When it does come,China will rapidly become a powerful and rich nation…The population is industrious,frugal,intelligent,and quick to learn”

uncomfortable
Today,China’s economy crackles with the dynamics of change.Unlike some governments,which fear change and fear the future,China is beginning to reach out toward new horizons,and we salute your courage.
A pioneering meeting with historic significance.We Americans have always considered ourselves pioneers,so we appreciate such vitality and optimism.Today,I bring you a message from my countrymen:As China moves forward on this new path, America welcomes the opportunity to walk by your side.
I see America and our Pacific neighbors going forward in a mighty enterprise to build strong economies and a safer world.For our part,we welcome this new Pacific tide.
Safeguard world peace
Let it roll peacefully on,carrying a two-way flow of people and ideas that can break down barriers of suspicion and mistrust,and build up bonds of cooperation and shared optimism.

Ladies and Gentlemen: I have not come to China to hold forth on what divides us, but to build on what binds us.I have not come to dwell on a closed-door past, but to urge that Americans and Chinese look to the beautiful future.//
We must always be realistic about our relationship, frankly acknowledging the fundamental differences in ideology between our two societies.Let us not be dominated by these differences.//
If we were to ask citizens all over this world what they desire most for their children, and for their children’s children, their answer, in whatever language, would likely be the same: We want peace, freedom, and a better life.//
Like China, our people see the future in the eyes of our children.And like China, we respect our elders.To be as good as our fathers and mothers, we must be better.(参考答案)
女士们、先生们: 我来中国不是为了评说那些将我们分隔开来的东西,而是为了强化那些将我们维系在一起的东西,不是为了回顾闭关锁国的过去,而是为了敦促美国和中国人们展望美好的未来。// 我们要务实地对待我们之间的关系,坦率承认我们两个社会制度之间在意识形态方面的根本差异。我们不要被这些差异所主宰。// 假如我们去部一下世界上的所有公民,他们最希望留下什么东西给他们的孩子,给他们孩子的孩子,那么回答无论用什么语言,都可能是一致的,我们要和平,自由和更美好的生活。// 同中国一样,我国人民看待未来也是着眼于下一代的利益。同中国一样,我们也尊重长辈。若要像父母前辈那样,我们就必须胜出/胜于前辈。

HW:过去的8年中,中国的房地产业经历了前所未有的泡沫现象和过热问题。以上海为例,8年前,每平方米房价不过4千,而现在已经涨到了9800元。这对于那些月薪不足4000元但又可望在上海拥有一套自己的、像样的栖身之所的工薪阶层来说是难以承受的负担。有鉴于此,上海市政府出台并实施了一系列措施,如提高利率、增加房产税等来抑制投机行为,目前已经取得了初步的成效。
The past 8 years witnessed unprecedented real estate bubble and overheating.Taken Shanghai as an example,the averal housing price 8 years ago was nerely 4000RMB per square meter,but 9800 now,which is underaffordable burden to those wage-owners with no more than 4000 monthly income who long for possessing a decent apartment of their own in Shanghai.Considering this,Shanghai municiple government put forward and carry out a series of measures including raising interest rate and real estate tax aiming to curb the speculation,the initial effects of which are shown.省略句:e.g.1)China is America's fourth trade partner and America China's second.2)Asia enjoys the fasted economic growth in the world,China in Asia,Shanghai in China,and Pudong in Shanghai.补充:enterprises企业 entrepreneur企业家

实考题分析
一、口语题目范文分析
Good Health As a popular saying goes: “Health is better than wealth.” Good health enables one to enjoy his life and achieve what he hopes for in his career.On the other hand, poor health tends to deprive one of his interest in everything around him.Therefore, health is indispensable to one’s happy life.There are many ways, I think, which can help to build up one’s health.In the first place, those who always work from morning till night should find time to relax because too much stress can lead to poor performance and ill health.Secondly, if one wants to keep healthy, he must give up the habits that damage his health.Finally, regular exercises are essential for a healthy mind and body.To the best of my knowledge, there is nothing more healthful than a brisk walk in the morning.Personally, I like running in the morning.And I have benefited a lot of from it.My health condition is getting better and better.So I will persist in doing so in the future.这篇口语表述中运用到的技巧:
1、引用谚语
2、使用常用短语和句型
3、作比较
4、使用关联词
5、用明确的词表明自己的观点
6、用自己举例子
7、常用的序数词

二、口译实考练习
三、口译实考分析 英译汉 Passage 1: In terms of its impact on our society, I think AIDS will certainly be the number one serious public-health hazard going into the next century.//
从对我们社会所造成的影响这个角度来看,我认为艾滋病必定是我们进入下一世纪的头号健康大敌。
AIDS :Acquired Immure Deficiency Syndrome
Among all the ways and means, a massive educational campaign is the only thing conceivable at the moment that can really help.// 在所有措施中,开展大规模的教育活动是目前唯一行之有效的办法。
Some people argue that a nationwide, or worldwide, educational campaign on AIDS awareness is difficult, expensive and therefore impossible.I think their argument is groundless.// 有些人认为,在全国范围或全世界范围开展提防艾滋病的教育活动难度大,代价高,因而无法实施。我认为这种观点是毫无根据的。
We'll have to convince people that they're better of knowing than not knowing the fact, because they can take actions, treat the problem and control AIDS infection with appropriate drugs.我们应该使人们相信,了解实际情况总比蒙在鼓里好,因为了解实情后我们便可以行动起来,共同研讨这一问题,并可以用适当的药物来控制疾病的传染。参考书录《中高级口译口试备考精要》
Passage 2: People from different cultures sometimes do things that make each other uncomfortable, without meaning to or sometimes without even realizing it.// 不同文化背景的人在一起有时会做出一些令对方感到不舒服的事,他们并非故意要这样做,有时甚至连自己也未察觉。
Most Americans are usually spontaneous, friendly and open, and enjoy meeting new people, having guests and ringing people together formally or informally.// 大多数美国人通常天真、率直,友好坦率,喜欢结识人,欢迎客人来访,愿意召集正式的或非正式的聚会。
They tend to be informal and speak freely.So if your American hosts do something that makes you uncomfortable, try to let them know how you feel.They will appreciate your honesty and try not to make you uncomfortable again.//
美国人往往不拘礼节,说话毫无拘束。所以要是你的美国主人做出了使你感到不舒服的事,你应该设法让他们知道你的感受。他们会喜欢你的诚实态度,尽量不再做你不喜欢的事。
Sometimes Americans are said to be superficially friendly.Perhaps it seems so.Just like anywhere else, it takes time to become real friends with people in the United States.有时美国人的友善会被视为一种表面现象。或许看上去确实是这么一回事。同其他地方一样,与美国人结成真正的朋友是需要一段时间的。
补充:文化差异方面的口译练习
Much business in the United States is conducted on the telephone.The average businessman spends much of his time on the telephone making business contacts.在美国许多生意都是通过电话谈的。一般的生意人都花很多时间打电话,接洽生意。
However, it usually will not be convenient to make initial contracts between Chinese and U.S.businesses by telephone.但是,中国公司和美国公司通过电话商讨初步协议通常很不方便。
There is no particular style to American negotiations.The way the negotiations are conducted will vary from one business to another and will depend upon the individuals involved.与美国人谈判并无特别的样式。谈判的方式视业务不同而不同,取决于参与谈判的人员。
Although Americans have a reputation for making quick decisions, this is not always true when a corporation is involved in a major venture or a large project.Therefore, you should also be prepared for lengthy negotiations.虽然美国人享有决策果断的声誉,但是,在公司着手进行主要或重大项目时,决策并非总是果断的。因此,你也要做好准备进行冗长的谈判。
四、口译实考分析 汉译英
Passage 1: 中餐桌上最神奇、最有特色的用餐工具莫过于筷子。几千年来我们中国人一直视筷子为一种最简单同时也是最有效的用餐工具。
No eating tools on the Chinese dinner table are more magical and distinctive than the chopsticks.For thousands of years we Chinese have always regarded chopsticks the simplest possible and the most efficient tool for meals.关于筷子的用料,其种类各有不同,选材包括竹子、木材、玉石、象牙、塑料、金银等。Chopsticks can be made of a variety of materials, including bamboo, wood, jade, ivory, plastic, gold and silver and so on.对于西方人来说,掌握用筷的方法和技巧在开始时也许难度很大,但是只要有耐心,用心去练,不久便可以熟练地使用筷子享用中餐。
For Westerners, the mastery of the method and skills for using chopsticks may be quite challenging at the beginning.But as long as you have patience and concentrate on practice, you will soon be able to use chopsticks skillfully enough to enjoy a Chinese meal.如果想享用一顿真正意义上的中餐,那么花时间耐心学习用筷技艺不仅很有必要,而且也很有趣。
If you want to enjoy a Chinese meal in the real sense, it is not only necessary, but also very interesting, to spend some patient time learning to acquire the skills of using chopsticks.Passage 2:
中国是一个多民族国家,具有经济发展不平衡的特点。在这块辽阔的土地上,人们使用多种语言和方言。
China is a multi-national country featuring unbalanced economic development, In the vast territory, different languages ad various dialects are used.//
几十年来,政府一直号召推广普通话,作为标准汉语,但在相当多的人口中,普通话还未能成为日常使用的交流工具。
Even though the government has called for popularization of Mandarin as the standard Chinese language for decades, it has not become the daily-use communication tool among a considerable number of the people.//
这显然阻碍了经济发展与社会进步。毫无疑问,推广和提倡使用普通话对加快中国改革开放的步伐是举足轻重的。
This obviously hinders economic development and social progress.Undoubtedly the popularization and promotion of Mandarin is vital to speeding up China's reform and opening up drive.//
这样做,将有助于提高汉语信息管理技术,因此,符合全体中国人民的根本利益。It will help improve the technology of information management in Chinese.Therefore, it is the basic interests of all Chinese.20
补充有关餐桌礼仪的句子翻译
中国人吃饭用筷子,西方人则用餐刀、餐叉。有些人会用筷子,但大多数人则不行,所以在西方客人摆餐具时,筷子旁边再摆上刀叉是很明智的做法。
Chinese eat with chopsticks while most of the westerners eat with knives and forks.Some westerners may be quite good at using chopsticks, but most of them are not, therefore when setting a table at which westerners are entertained, it is always advisable to place knives and forks along side the chopsticks.中国的宴席,把菜肴摆在餐桌中央。西方人则不习惯把手伸得老长,满桌子挥舞。然而,中国人的习惯就是各人从餐桌中央菜盘子里夹菜。所以,宴请外国客人时,这一点应该向他们讲明白。
At Chinese dinner parties, the dishes are usually placed in the middle of the table.Westerners are not used to reaching for something over the table.But in China, it is usual to help oneself to the food placed at the center of the table.So when we entertain foreign guests, we should explain such table manners to them.中国人请客,主人总是不断往客人的盘子里夹菜。这使外国客人觉得非常尴尬。即便是不喜欢的菜品,他也得吃下去,因为在西方,把食物剩在盘子里是极不礼貌的行为。At a Chinese dinner, the host always puts more food on to the guest's plate.That often makes a foreign guest feel very awkward.He has to eat the food even if he doesn't feel like it, because it is considered bad manners in the west to leave one's food on the plate.与此相反,一个中国人出席,比方说,一个美国人举行的宴会,他常常辞谢递给他的食物或饮料。虽然他其实还饿着或渴着。这在中国可能是礼貌之举。
On the contrary, a Chinese sits at, say, an American’s dinner party, he very often refuses the offer of food or drinks though in fact he is still hungry or thirsty.This might be good manners in China, but it is definitely not in the West.五、中国国情的翻译内容补充
经过半个多世纪的艰苦努力,特别是二十多年的改革开放,中国已迈入全面建设小康社会的发展新阶段。
After over half a century of strenuous efforts, more than two decades of reform and opening-up in particular, China has now entered a new stage of development aimed at building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way.但中国仍然是一个发展中国家,人口多、底子薄是中国的基本国情。中国实现自身发展的道路依然艰苦而漫长。
However, China is still a developing country, large population and inadequate economic development remain its basic national conditions.It has a long way to go before achieving its development goals.21 中华人民共和国是全国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。
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.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”。
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.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%。
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.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,形成了今天的分布格局。
During China’s long history of development, the people of various nationalities in China migrated and mingled, which eventually brought about today’s distribution.六、口译考试备考方式
