第一篇:二级口译练习1
练习1:
要求,认真听原文,不要记笔记,根据WHAT、WHO、WHEN AND WHERE、HOW AND WHY 几大要素总结段落大意。
Tea drinking was common in China for nearly one thousand years before anyone in Europe had ever heard about tea.People in Britain were much slower in finding out what tea was like, mainly because tea was very expensive.It could not be bought in shops and even those people who could afford to have it sent from Holland did so only because it was a fashionable curiosity.Some of them were not sure how to use it.They thought it was a vegetable and tried cooking the leaves.Then they served them mixed with butter and salt.They soon discovered their mistake but many people used to spread the used tea leaves on bread and give them to their children as sandwiches.What's the general idea of this short passage? Compared with the Chinese, People in Europe, particularly in Britain were much slower in finding out what tea was like, and how to use it.They cooked tea leaves as vegetable and served them with butter and salt and even made them part of Children's sandwiches.练习2 Tea remained scarce and very expensive in England until the ships of the East India Company began to bring it direct from China early in the seventeenth century.During the next few years so much tea came into the country that the price fell and many people could afford to buy it.At the same time people on the Continent were becoming more and more fond of tea.Until then tea had been drunk without milk in it, but one day a famous French lady named Madame de Sevigne decided to see what tea tasted like when milk was added.She found it so pleasant that she would never again drink it without milk.Because she was such a great lady her friends thought they must copy everything she did, so they also drank their tea with milk in it.Slowly this habit spread until it reached England and today only very few Britons drink tea without milk.General idea:
Tea remained scarce and very expensive in England until the ships of the East India Company began to bring it direct from China early in the seventeenth century.On the continent, people used to drink tea without milk until a French lady invented the habit of drinking tea with milk.二、主题练习——会议致辞词汇

第三篇:会议致辞 二级口译
Thank you , Lord Hurd, for your kind words.It is an honor and plesaure to be here.When I left Brussels yesterday, it was 12 degree celsius and hailing.Here , it was 25 degree and sunny.Speaking of climate change, I don’t understand why you British are always complaining about the weahter.I confess I am a little intimitated, LordHurd , at being moderated by a veteran statesman of your distinction.When I first accepted the gracious invitation to address this institute, I was especially excited about the prospect of speaking under the Chatham House Rule.I understand the rule means the audience is free to use the information received at the meeting, but may not reveal the identity of the speaker , nor his affiliation.I thought to myself , now there is a rule we should apply from time to time at the United Nations.I could get my message across,but keep a low profile at the same time.And conversely, those interested in grand-standing would have one less opportunity to do so.But it was not to be.Having understood that this event is on the record, I will have to wait for another occasion to experience the Chatham House Rule at first hand.Mr.Niblett,Director of Chatham House,Excellencies,Ladies and gentlemen,It is truly a privilege to join such a distinguished group of experts and scholars, diplomatsand opinion-makers, politicians and not
least ,representatives of civil society---key partners of the United Nations In shaping both policy and practice.They say the United Nations has a way of getting caught in the crossfire between its uncritical lovers and unloving critics.Here at Chatham House, I feel surrounded by true friends---those best defined as loving critics or even critical lovers: well-informed allies of the UN, unwavering but by no means unquestioning supporters.Since the foundation of the UN, the UK has been a cornerstone of our suppor base.It may have been in San Francisco that the United Ntions Charter was signed in 1945;that but it was here in London , the follwing year ,that the UN saw the light of day as a working orgnization.Juston the other side of St ,James’s Park, in Centural Hall Westminster, the General Assembly met for the first time.Across the street from there , in Church House, the Security Council came into being.it was at westminster, as London was rising from the ravages of world war 2 , that my first predecessor as Secretary-General ,Trygve Lie, was installed.He replaced the acting Secretary-General , who was a none other than the distinguished UK dimplomat, sir Gladwyn Jebb.Already in the 1950s, Sir Gladwyn---who by then had become the UK Ambassador to the UN—was shrewd enough to spot the uncritical lovers versus the unloving critics.He did so by studying the newspaper cartoons of the day.At one extreme of the cartoon spectrum, the UN was portayed as an angelic figure, but not a terribly intelligent-looking one.She was sometimes labeled ― peace‖, and usually being assulted by a brutal and uniformed aggressor.At the other extreme , the UN was a bald and middle-aged gentleman of dubious and obviously foreign appearance, wearing a top hat and long coat.He would be plotting with another gentleman of the same type over a green baize table.So one caricature suggested and idealistic international authority, constantly thwarted by wicked maneuvers of politicians;the other an evil international plot against sovereignty.Today , when people look back on those early years of the UN, they think of the promise the Organization held.They think of the idealism and unity that inspired the San Francisco Conference, and the signing of the Charter.They think of the creation of landmark documents, such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.They think of the courageous pioneers who joined and shaped the Organization in its fledgling years.In my country , too , those early years were associated with a steadfast sense of faith in the UN.As I was growing up in a war-torn and destitute Korea, the UN stood by my peoplein our darkest hour.The UN gave us hope and sustenance.Its flag was a beacon of better days to come.And in the course of my own lifetime, with the assitance of the UN, THE Republic of Korea was able to rebuild itself from a country torn
apart by war , with a non-existent economy, into a reginoal economic power and major contributor to the Organization.That support helped me make the journey to this podium today.For that, I am deeply thankful.Since then , the UN –and the world as a whole –has come to appear much complicated.So have the challenges confronting our Organization.The perception of us is no longer so black and white, and tends now to be drawn in various shades of gray.But if you are an optimist ,as I am , you will paint the UN in brighter colors.You will know that our world of complex and global challenges is exactly the environment in which our UN shoulf thrive –because these are challenges that no country can resolve on its own.It is a world in which the UN can, and must, grow and take on new roles, develop and deliver on new fronts.Thank u very much
第四篇:二级口译考试经验
catti 二口 二战经验分享 希望帮到大家
背景介绍: 雅思 7.5 / 托福 106 / 专八 79 / 专四:80 / 上海中高级口译证书 / 大学期间上过口译培训班 /
良心建议三点:1.英语听说读写基础扎实,尤其是听力!否则准备口译事倍功半。我的听力基本功是大学里听写并跟读常速BBC 和VOA 以及高级listening to this 打下的。听力练习材料个人认为不需精挑细选,大量的输入和复杂句型的快速反应是关键。2.系统学习口译:不管什么形式,大学口译课程或校外培训班都可以,不要闭门造车,虽然我是九年前上过一段时间的口译入门课,真心受益匪浅。通过老师的讲解,你会明白如何记笔记(重中之重),然后自己不断去实践,找到理解和笔记的平衡点。3.再痛苦,也要录音,做视译是远远不够的!只有不断录音并回听自己的录音,慢慢揣摩你就会发现哪个音调听起来是舒服的,哪个说话频率是适合的,哪种说话方式是自信的。
具体到两场考试对比:去年11月5号一战,综合部分:那场考得还行(69分)关键就是抓紧一切时间理解题目并注意一些字眼,比如:nearly,totally,not等,这些地方容易混淆视听。但是!切不可小瞧综合,这次我的综合就只有60分。做篇章听力部分明显感觉很多信息处理不过来,当时真有一种考试还未开始就要结束的感觉。总结:综合一定要争分夺秒的看题且多做教材和真题,熟悉catti 套路,至于summary 我的理解是:抓住总起类句子且保证文章逻辑通顺即可。
实务部分:一战时英译中很多地方没听懂,自己强行编造或省略,切身体会:如果英翻中你自己都觉得编了或漏了超过2/5,那应该就是没戏了。中译英部分自己觉得还行,但翻译的语调不够沉稳,会的地方说得很溜,不会的地方明显慢下来。最后我的实务:48!二战感觉英译中的理解比上次好多了,几乎只有两处左右没听懂,但是中文表达始终欠缺,有些累赘或僵硬。所以积累和巩固通俗中文表达是非常必要的。中译英部分自我判断一带一路会是热门,所以忽略了最基本的经济加数字类话题的练习。翻得时候不够自信,有停顿(但没有嗯),表达单一,甚至还有一个重要数字没有听到。总之,当时走出考场,挺失落的,还夹杂着一丝遗憾,想着为什么平时没有更努力一些。今天查分,实务也是60分,所以算是擦线过了。心里只有感恩。为什么分数不高?我认为可以归结到平时练习量还是不够。
两次备考都用的官方教材,最后20天用真题练习。唯一的区别是降低视译的练习量,老老实实做录音,再回放,想想哪些地方需要改进,再录。非常注重输出效果。
我始终记得一位口译老师讲过:高压之下,人的许多动作都会变形。考场上高度紧张,许多平时可以处理的信息也会一下子就乱套。所以高强度的练习是唯一办法,并时刻注意录音效果,形成条件反射。考场上必定会碰到处理困难的信息,此刻切记保持冷静,更加注意语音语调,把你的沉着通过你的语言表达出来。总而言之,平时多练一分,考场上的意外和困难就会少一分,与所有有梦想的人共勉!
第五篇:英语口译实务二级
Thank you, Lord Hurd , for those kind words.It is an honor and pleasure to be here.When l left Brussels yesterday, it was 12 degrees Celsius and hailing.赫德勋爵,感谢您的美言。
Here, it was 25 degrees and sunny.我很荣幸也很高兴来到这里。昨天我离开布鲁塞尔时,那里还下着冰雹,气温只有12撮氏度,而这里则阳光明媚,气温高迭25撮氏度。
Speaking of climate change, I don't understand why you British are always complaining about the weather.说到这样的气候差异,我不明白为什么你们英国人还总是抱怨天气不好。
I confess I am a little intimidated, Lord Hurd, at being moderated by a veteran statesman of your distinction.赫德勋爵,说实话,您这样一位声名显赫的资深政治家为我做引见令我有些诚惶诚恐。
When I first accepted the gracious invitation to address this Institute, I was especially excited about the prospect of speaking under the Chatham House Rule.最初接受来贵所演讲的盛情邀请时,一想到将有机会按照英国皇家国际事务研究院规则 演讲,我就特剐兴奋。
I understand the rule means the audience is free to use the information received at the meeting, but may not reveal the identity of the speaker, nor his affiliation.我知道,按照这一规则,听众可以自由引用会上所获信息,但不得披露演讲者身份及其所属组织。I thought to myself, now there's a rule we should apply from time to time at the United Nations.我心想,我们在联合国也应当不时采用这一规则。
I could get my message across, but keep a low profile at the same time.这样我既可以表达想法,还能同时保持低调。
And conversely* those interested in grand-standing would have one less opportunity to do so.而反过来,那些喜欢抛头露面的人则少了一个炫耀的机会。But it was not to be.可这次演讲将不启用这一规则。
Having understood that this event is on the record, I will have to wait for another occasion to experience the Chatham House Rule at first hand.我知道这次活动会记录在案,我只好另找机会亲身感受这一规则了。
Mr.Niblett, Director of Chatham House, 英国皇家国际事务研究所所长宁布莱特先生,Excellencies, 阁下们
Ladies and gentlemen , 女士们,先生们:
It is truly a privilege to join such a distinguished group of experts and scholars, diplomats and opinion-makers, politicians and not least, representatives of civil societywho by then had become the UK Ambassador to the UNand the world as a whole-has come to appear much complicated.自那时起,联合国乃至整个世界似乎变得更加复杂。So have the challenges confronting our Organization.联合国所面临的挑战也是如此。
The perception of us is no longer so black and white, and tends now to be drawn in various shades of gray.如今,人们对我们的看法不再是非黑即白,而是倾向于不同程度的灰色。But if you are an optimist, as I am, you will paint the UN in brighter colors.但是,如果你们和我一样,是乐观主义者,那么你们会用更明快的色彩来勾画联合国。
You will know that our world of complex and global challenges is exactly the environment in which our United Nations should thrive-because these are challenges that no country can resolve on its own.你们会知道,我们的世界充满了复杂的全球性挑战,而这正是联合国应该蓬勃发展的大好环境,因为任何一个国家都无法单独应对这些挑战。
It is a world in which the UN can, and must, grow and take on new roles, develop and deliver on new fronts.正是在这样的世界中,联合国能够并且必须成长壮大,承担新的任务,开辟新的战线并在那里有所作为。
Thank you very much.多谢各位.
