1．尊敬的主席阁下，各位代表，女士们，先生们，Respectable Madam Chairperson, Representatives of the Conference, Ladies and Gentlemen:
2．在这个美丽无比的金秋季节，我们在北京迎来了第四届世娥妇女大会的召开。这是一次世界历史上规模空前的妇女大会，也是世界历史上最重要的国际会议之一。
In this most beautiful autumn season, we welcome in Beijing the opening of the fourth World Conference on Women, the largest and one of the most important international meetings of its kind in world history.3．联合国 185 个成员国的代表、联合国组织和个区域性国际组织的代表，以及 2000 多个非政府组织的代表再次聚会，她们将庄严宣誓，要迅速采取行动，消除歧视妇女的现象，使妇女能够尽快与男子一起创造和分享 21 世纪的和平与繁荣。
Representatives from 185 UN member states, from the United Nations and international organizations of various regions, as well as from over 2000 non-governmental groups, gather together to make a solemn promise that they will take rapidly action to eliminate discrimination against women, so that they can quickly join with men to create and share peace and prosperity of the 21th century.4．男女平等实属天经地义。
Equality between men and women is fully justified.5．早在人类社会的初期，妇女便与男子一期建设家园，分享野果和战利品，抚养后代。
Back in the early days of human history, women and men jointly built their homelands, shared wild fruits and trophies and brought up the younger generation.6．然而，千百年来妇女被剥夺了与男子平等相待的基本权利，无尊严可言，失去了决定国家和家庭事务的权利。
However, for many centuries women were denied the basic right to equality with men, and deprived of their dignity and the decision-making power over affairs of the state and of the family.7．多少年来，这个世界一直处于男性的统治之下。
The world has long been under control of men.8．妇女不幸沦为二等公民，她们往往成了歧视、暴力和羞辱的对象。
Regarded unfortunately as second-class citizens, women are frequently subject to discrimination, violence and humiliation.9．但是，事情总会恢复它的本来面目。
However, things will eventually return to their original nature.10．今天，男女平等在国际社会中被普遍视为一种人权，并已写入联合国宪章。
Today, equality between men and women is generally recognized as a basic human right by the international community and has been written into the Charter of the United Nations.11．在过去的半个世纪里，世界各地有良知的男子和有勇气的女性一起付出了巨大的努力，在很大程度上成功地使占人口半数的妇女重新获得了享有与男子同等的权利。Over the past half century, intuitive men and courageous women across the world have made tremendous efforts and, to a large extent, successfully in enabling females, who make up half of humanity, to regain equal rights with men.12．我们寄希望于本届世妇女会，这是因为它将来采取更为有效的步骤来加 速提高世界各地妇女地位的进程，使全世界男男女女能作为平等的伙伴共同
步入 21 世纪。
We place our hope on the current World Conference on Women because it will take more effective steps to speed up the process of enhancing the status of women worldwide, so that men and women across the world will enter the 21 century in equal partnership.13．我们寄希望于本届妇女会，这是因为我们相信这次会议将促进各国之 间，尤其是妇女姐妹之间的相互理解和友好交流，使世界各国也能以伙伴关 系平等相待。
We place the hope on the current World Conference on Women because we are convinced this conference will promote mutual understanding and friendly exchanges between various nations, particularly between women, so that countries around world will also share the partnership.PASSAGE FOUR 英汉双向交互译：

协定，从而避免了一场可能发生的贸易战。
China and United States averted a potential trade war by coming to a last minute the agreement on bilateral textile trade in Beijing on January 17。
2．经过三天共 11 个小时的激烈谈判，双方签署了一项谅解备忘录。
After 11 hours of intense negotiations over a three-day period, the memorandum of understanding(MOU)was signed.3．美方首席贸易谈判代表詹妮弗•希尔曼和中国对外贸易经济合作部部长吴仪出席了签字仪式，并发表了讲话。
Jennifer Hillman, chief US trade negotiator, and Wu Yi, Minister of China's Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation, attended and spoke at the signing ceremony.4．Hillman: China is the largest exporter of textile to the United States.希尔曼：中国是美国最大的纺织品进口国。
5．The new agreement is a positive sign of our cooperative bilateral relations.这项新协定的大城是我们两国之间有着合作双边关系的积极象征。
6．I believe this agreement will ensure the steady growth of Chinese textile exports to my country.我相信这项协议将使中国出口到我国的纺织品得以稳步增长。
7．吴仪：这项协议的达成将为美国财政部长劳埃德•本森率团访华，为中国副总理兼外交部长钱其琛与美国国务卿沃伦•克里斯托弗即将在巴黎的会晤，营造一种积极的气氛。
The conclusion of this agreement will create a positive atmosphere for the China tour led by US Treasure Secretary Lloyd Benson and the upcoming meeting between China Vice-Premier and Foreign Minister Qian Qichen and US Secretary of State Warren Christopher in Paris.8．中美两国经济上存在着一种互补关系。
China and United States are economically complementary.9． 美国的资本、技术和设备有助于中国的现代化建设，而中国潜在的巨大市场以及丰富的人力资源对美国经济也有重要意义。
US capital, technology and equipment are conductive to China's modernization drive, while China's potentially huge market and abundant source of labor are important to US economy.

1．中国悠久的历史、广褒的国土、与世界各国和海外文化的广泛接触，孕育了中餐烹饪的独特艺术。中国有一句古话至今还广为流传：民以食为天。几千年的推陈出新和不断累积，使中餐受到越来越多海外人士的青睐，成了我国对外文化交流的一个友好使者。
China's long history, vast territory and extensive contact with other nations and cultures have given birth to the distinctive Chinese culinary art.An ancient Chinese saying, still popular today, goes, food is the paramount necessity of the people.With several thousand years of creative and accumulative efforts, the Chinese food has become increasingly popular among more and more overseas gourmets ['ɡuəmei]n., virtually functioning as an envoy of friendship in China’s culture exchange with foreign countries.2．现代中国已享有烹饪王国致美誉，精致的烹调艺术盛行全球。无容置疑，中餐烹饪已经名列世界顶尖菜系之林。
Modern Chinese food enjoys a world wide reputation as the kingdom of cuisine, The exquisite ['ekskwizit] Chinese culinary art, regarded Indisputably [,indis'pju:təbl] as one of the world's finest culinary traditions, has prevailed all over the world.3．中餐烹调所用的天然配料，品种繁多，几无穷尽；烹调方法，亦层出不穷，不可悉数。足以说明了中餐馆以及中餐烹调之所以名扬海外的缘由。
The nearly endless variety of natural ingredients and methods of preparation employed in Chinese cuisine stand out unequaled in the world, which may very well account for the universal popularity of Chinese restaurants and Chinese cooking oversea.4．评判中餐烹调的优劣可依据中餐的三大要素，即“色、香、味”。
The three essential factors, or key elements, by which Chinese cooking is judged are known as “color, aroma and taste”.5．“色”作为“色、香、味”三要素中的首要标准，充分体现在宴会菜肴的装盘、摆放和图案上。最能显示色彩的是首先上桌的那道煞费苦心而精心制作的冷盘。
The “color” of Chinese food, the first of these elements which is so evident in a Chinese banquet, includes the layout and design of dishes, best exemplified in particular by the large elaborately-prepared cold dish served at the beginning of the dinner.6． “香”不仅是指鼻子对食物的直接感受，它还包括所选香料的新鲜程度以及佐料的合理调配。
“Aroma”implies more than what one's nose can detect [di'tekt] directly;it also includes the freshness of the raw materials used and the blending of seasonings.7．“味”则体现了恰到好处的调味艺术，当然它也包括实物的质地，以及切菜的刀工。
“Taste”is the art of proper seasoning, though it also involves the texture of food and fine slicing techniques.8．色、香、味这三要素的高品质，只有通过选料、调料、适时烹调、把握火候、装盘上桌这些微妙步骤的细心协调，才能取得。
These three essential elements, “color”, “aroma”, “taste”, are achieved by the careful coordination of a series of delicate activities: selecting ingredients, mixing flavor, timing the cooking, controlling the heat and finally, laying out the food on the plate for the table.9．10 人一桌的标准晚餐含四道冷盘、四道热炒，外加汤和米饭。外国宾客见之，常常惊叹不已，将其视为一次丰盛的晚宴。
Visitors to China are often surprised when a typical dinner for a table of ten people consists of four courses of cold dishes, four courses of hot dishes, coupled with soup and steamed rice;they consider this a lavish ['læviʃ] spread.10．但在中国人眼里，以这种规格的晚餐招待宾客，只是一种起码的标准。
But in Chinese mind, a dinner prepared as above for guests is the minimum requirement.12．准备 10 道份量适中的菜肴并不为过，即使献上 16 道菜，亦不足为奇。
Ten courses of dishes, not necessarily prepared in huge quantities, would not be considered excessive, and few people would blink at sixteen.13．在中国，一桌标准宴席包括四至八个事先制作好的冷盘，八道现做的热炒、两道观赏性大菜（如全鱼、乳猪、全鸡等），此外还有汤、米饭和点心。
In china, a standard banquet will consist of four to eight prepared cold dishes, eight hot dishes served one at a time, two to four whole-size showpiece dishes(such as a whole fish, a whole suckling pig or a whole chicken), in addition to soups, steamed rice and pastries.14．晚宴结束前还有一道水果，来华访问的海外宾客应记住，赴宴不可贪吃，每道菜浅尝即止。
Overseas visitors should remember that it is often unnecessary to eat more than a single mouthful of a dish at a Chinese banquet.15．从这个角度上来讲，中国宴席犹如西方国家的冷餐招待会。
In this way, a Chinese banquet takes on the character of a buffet reception in the West.高级口译教程 笔记
Unit 11 Catering Culture 16．中国宴席餐桌上的酒通常为啤酒、黄酒喝烈性白酒三种。
Often beer, yellow rice wine and strong white liquor are served at a Chinese banquet.17．人们往往以“干杯”的方式互相敬酒。
People at a stable will usually “Gan Bei” when toasting each other.18．干杯的意思是一口喝干杯中酒。
“Gan Bei” means to raise up one's wine glass or liquor cup and drink it all the way down so that the glass or cup is “dried up to the last drop”.19．“干”了“杯”中的酒，可以表示心诚和欢乐。
People dry up their glasses to communicate the message to others that they are sincere and joyful.20．当然，外国宾客与中国东道主敬酒时，小啜一口也未尝不可。
It is quite acceptable for a foreign guest to take a sip instead of emptying the glass when toasting with his or her Chinese host.21．但是，中国的普通家餐却完全不同与宴席。
However, an average Chinese meal at home is quite different in composition from a Chinese banquet.22．一个成年人平时在家就餐时，通常只吃两小碗米饭，或一大碗面条，或几只馒头，外加几个荤素炒菜，而非以菜为主，以米饭或面食为辅。
At an everyday home meal, an adult may consume two small bowls of steamed rice, or a large bowel of noodles, or several pieces of steamed bread, accompanied by several meat or vegetable dishes, but not the other way round.23．对大多数中国人来说，从一餐饭中所摄取的热量有 75%来自谷粮。
For most Chinese, about 75 percent of an average meal's calories comes from grain sources instead of meat or vegetable dishes.24．作为一种世代相袭的传统，中国人就餐时围桌而坐，人人手里都有一碗主食，炒菜放在桌子中央，大家一起食用。
Traditionally, everyone at the Chinese dining table has his or her own bowl of staple food, that is, steamed rice, noodles or steamed bread, while the dishes are placed in the middle of the dinner table to be shared by all.25．这一古老的风俗习惯反映了食物在中华文明史上的重要地位： 占据餐桌中心位置的是炒菜，而不是鲜花，晚餐的主要话题常常是食物。
This age-old custom is one manifestation of the importance of food in Chinese civilization: It is the cooked dishes, rather than flowers, that serve as centerpieces on a Chinese table;food is frequently the main topic of dinner-time conversation.26．菜肴的各种色彩和材料搭配，给人以美的享受，共食一碗菜的习俗有助于家庭成员之间的团结和友谊。
Variety in the color and texture of the dishes serves aesthetic ends, while the ritual of sharing the food from the same dish plates is conducive to family togetherness and friendship.27．当然，在一些卫生意识比较强的地方，人们在共食放在餐桌中央的菜肴时，必须使用“公筷”或“公用”汤匙，以防疾病传染。
In more health conscious environments, however, only “public” chopsticks and spoons are used to remove food from the plates in the middle of the dining-table, so as to prevent any possible spread of diseases.28．以上所介绍的情况对外国客人来说，虽不应是一种离奇的“天方夜 谭”，却也说明中国人在饮食方面所持的价值观与西方人有很大的不同。
While none of the above observations should not strike a foreign visitor as particularly strange or exotic, they demonstrate that the Chinese approach some aspects of catering service with a set of values very different from those in the West.29．不过，中国人民与世界各族人民都有一个相同的基本概念，那就是，亲朋好友相聚，美味佳肴、琼浆玉液相敬，实属人生之最大快乐也。
There is one key concept, however, which the Chinese share with the rest of the world.That is, fine food and drink, taken in the company of good friends, is one of life's supreme [sju:'pri:m] pleasures.PASSAGE TWO

15．Most health food enthusiasts are vegetarians: They eat no meat;they prefer to get their essential proteins from other sources, such as beams, cheese, and eggs.热衷食用保健餐的大多数都是素食者。他们不吃肉类食物，喜从豆类、奶酪和鸡蛋等事务中获取人体所需的蛋白质。

TEXT FOR PRACTICE
PASSAGE ONE 汉译英：
高级口译教程 笔记
Unit 11 Catering Culture 1．如果某人说“我喜欢中国菜”，这种说法似乎过于简单了。
If you hear someone say “I like Chinese food”, he is taking too much for granted.2．其实并不存在所谓的“中国菜”这一简单的概念。
As a matter of fact, there is no such simple thing as the so-called “Chinese food”.3．确切的说法应该是喜欢某一种菜系，或者喜欢某一地区的中国菜。
A more accurate statement in this instance should be such that expresses one's preference for a particular Chinese cuisine or a particular regional way of cooking.4．像中国这样幅员辽阔、历史悠久而又复杂的国家，千百年来必然会形成具有鲜明地方烹饪特色的区域性菜系或帮菜。
With a territory as large and a history as long and complex as China's, it is inevitable that distinct regional differences in cuisine have evolved over the course of centuries.5．这种不可避免的差异是由地理位置、气候条件、交通状况、人口迁移、海外文化影响等因素所决定的。
Numerous factors are involved in this inevitable distinction: geography, climate, transportation, migration, influence from overseas cultures, etc.6．虽然中国究竟有多少种地方菜系并无定论，但是有关人士认为，中国有山东菜、四川菜、粤（广东）菜和扬州菜等四大地方菜系。福建-台湾菜通常被列为第五种地方菜系。
Although there is no agreement on the precise number of Chinese regional cuisine, those concerned with such matters agree that the four principal culinary regions are Shandong, Sichuan, Canton(Guangdong)and Yangzhou, with Fujian-Taiwan most commonly listed as a fifth.7．必须指出，这种区域划分并无严格的地理界线。
It should be pointed out that these designations are not hard and fast geographical boundaries.8．北京菜虽属山东菜系，却也融入了一些四川菜的特色，并受到蒙古菜的影响。
Beijing food, for instance, falls within the realm of Shandong cooking, but includes some Sichuan dishes and Mongolian-influenced specialties.9．又如，扬州菜系的范围，覆盖了汇集无锡、苏州、上海和杭州等菜式、人口居住稠密的整个长江三角洲地区。
while the cuisine of the entire densely populated Yangtze River delta area, including Wuxi, Suzhou, Shanghai and Hangzhou dishes, falls under the category of Yangzhou cuisine.10．由于地方菜系之间存在着频频交覆现象，以及相互借鉴的情况，人们因而认为，区分地方菜系最为简便的方法是按菜的知名度，而不是按菜的烹调风格或口味进行辨别。
The frequent overlapping and borrowing that take place among the regional cuisine leads one to the conclusion that they are most conveniently distinguished by their famous dishes, rather than by any prevailing style or taste.11．中国四大菜系大致可按一下这些特点区分：
The four major cuisine traditions in China can be roughly distinguished by these generalities: 12．山东菜系通常较咸，汁色普遍较浅。
Shandong cuisine is generally salty, with the prevalence of light-colored sauces.13．四川菜系口味重，以麻辣著称。
With a rich variety of strong flavors, Sichuan cuisine is best known for being spicy-hot.14．最难归类的粤菜强调轻炒浅煮，选料似乎不受限制。
Canton cuisine, the hardest to categorize, emphasizes light cooking and seemingly limitless range of ingredients.15．扬州菜系注重选料的原味，它实际上揉合了南北菜系之精华。
While emphasizing the original flavors of carefully selected ingredients, Yangzhou cuisine is essentially a combination of the best elements of northern and southern cooking.16．也有人以八个字来归纳四大菜系的口味特点，即“南淡北咸，东甜西辣”。
According to some others, the characteristic flavors of China's four major cuisines can be summed up in the following expression:“ The light southern(Canton)cuisine, and the salty northern(Shandong)cuisine;the sweet eastern(Yangzhou)cuisine, and the spicy western(Sichuan)cuisine.” PASSAGE TWO 英译汉：
1．You will find restaurants for every situation in the U.S..在美国你可以找到任何一种餐馆。
2．If you're in a hurry, you may just want to grab some “junk food” at a grocery store, or you can get a bite to eat at one of the many fast food chains, like McDonald's, Burger King, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Pizza Hut, or Taco Bell.高级口译教程 笔记
Unit 11 Catering Culture 你若来去匆匆，可以去食品店随手买些“方便食品”，也可以从麦当劳、汉堡王、肯德基炸鸡店、“必胜客”比萨馅饼屋，或玉米卷钟这些快餐连锁店中跳上一家，买些食物权宜充饥。
3．Or you can get a hero or submarine ['sʌbməri:n, sʌbmə'ri:n]
水下的；海底的sandwich “to stay” or “to go” from a sandwich shop or deli.你可以上三明治店或者熟食店买一块“英雄”型或者“潜水艇”型大三明治，你可以“堂吃”，也可以“外卖”。
4．Some of these places have tables, but many don't.这类快餐店有的甚至连餐桌都没有。
5．People eat in their cars or take their food home, to their offices or to parks.人们买了一份快餐后，有的拿到自己的车里去吃，有的拿回自己的家里去吃，也有的拿到办公室或公园里去吃。
6．If you prefer sitting down but still don't want to spend much, you can try a cafeteria.['kæfi'tiəriə] [美]自助食堂[餐馆]
如果您既想坐在餐桌边上吃，同时又不愿多破费，那么你不妨可以去自助餐厅。
7．At all of these places, you pick and choose your own food and then pay at a cash register.在那里，你可以先挑选自己喜欢的食物，然后到帐台付钱。
8．But you usually have to clear the table when you finish!不过通常用完餐后，你得把自己餐盘从餐桌上端走。
9．Coffee shops are usually less expensive and less dressy than fine restaurants.咖啡馆通常比高级餐馆便宜，装潢也没有高级餐馆那么讲究。
10．So are pizza places, pancake house, sandwich shops and family restaurants.比萨馅饼店、薄煎饼店、三明治店和家庭餐馆等，都属于价格较为便宜、装 潢较为朴素的餐饮场所。
11．But the name of a restaurant won't necessarily tell you much about the kind of place it is or the food it serves.当然一家餐馆的名称不一定能告诉你这家餐馆的情况，也说明不了那里食物的品质。
12．Like most fast food restaurants and cafeterias, many restaurants don't serve alcoholic beverages['bevə ridʒ] 饮料(如茶、酒、牛奶、汽水、低度汽水等).同大多数快餐饮食店和自助餐厅一样，许多餐馆不供应酒。
13．This is often because they want people to feel comfortable bringing their children.这样做常常是为了使带孩子上餐馆的客人可以无所顾忌。
14．Minors can eat at restaurants that serve beer and wine, but they are not allowed to enter pubs, taverns ['tævə(:)n] 酒馆, cocktail lounges [laundʒ] 闲荡, 漫步or bars.未成年人可以进供应啤酒和果子酒的餐馆就餐，但是他们不可以进小酒店、酒菜馆、鸡尾酒室或酒吧这些场所。
15．你可能会被要求出示某张可以证明自己年龄的身份证，然后方可进入这些场所。
You may be asked to show some ID that proves your age before you go into a bar.16．在美国，法律规定 21 岁以下者不得饮酒。
In the United States, the law forbids people under the age of 21 from drinking alcoholic beverages.
