第三篇:中级口译汉译英答案
2014秋季中口笔试汉译英解析
中华民族是由56个民族组成的大家庭。自古以来,我国各族人民就劳动、生息、繁衍在我们祖国的土地上,共同为中华文明和建立统一的多民族国家贡献自己的才智。悠久的中华文化,成为维系民族团结和国家统一的牢固纽带。
The Chinese nation is a huge family composed of 56 ethnic groups, all of whom, since ancient times, have labored, lived and multiplied on this vast land so as to offer their wit and might to the splendor of Chinese civilization and the construction of a unified multiethnic nation.The long-standing Chinese culture serves to maintain ethnic unity and national unification in a formidable manner.中华文明经历了5000多年历史变迁,始终一脉相承,延续着国家和民族的精神血脉,为中华民族生生不息、发展壮大提供了丰厚的滋养。随着中国经济社会不断发展,中华文明也必将顺应时代发展焕发出更加蓬勃的生命力。
The everlasting and expanding Chinese nation is richly nourished by the Chinese civilization which has undergone the vicissitudes of 5 millenniums, hence forming and passing down the spiritual bond of the country and the nation.As China’s economy and society grows, the Chinese civilization will surely display more vibrant vitality which answers to the call of the times.在句子结构的处理上,英译汉时需要频繁断句,而汉译英则常常需要将中文里的流水句进行粘合。第一段里,“中华民族是由56个民族组成的大家庭。自古以来,我国各族人民就劳动、生息、繁衍在我们祖国的土地上,共同为中华文明和建立统一的多民族国家贡献自己的才智。”行文较散,分析一下,句中“56个民族”和“我国各族人民”是同一对象,所以在译文中用“all of whom”插入语将两个句子粘结。
中文里有很多同义或近义词的叠加,在翻译过程中大可不必逐一译出,可采取减译的策略。如第二段“始终一脉相承,延续着„”其实表达的是一个意思,即“形成并传承”,所以处理为“forming and passing down„”这样的减译处理的句子比比皆是,比如“海峡两岸的中国人都是骨肉同胞,手足兄弟。”可译为“The Chinese on both sides of the Taiwan Straits are [of the same flesh and blood].”在英文中也有这样的同义或近义词叠加现象,比如“His father is a man who forgives and forgets.”其中“ forgives and forgets”既是起强调作用,也体现了头韵美,可译为“他父亲非常宽容。
2014年3月中级口译汉译英答案 原文:
国际金融危机爆以来,国际组织和各国政府、企业界和专家学者都在深刻反思,探究危机产生的原因,寻求世界经济和各国经济未来发展之路。对中国经济发展的成就,有喝彩的,也有怀疑的;对中国经济的未来,有看好的,也有唱衰的。对此,我们的头脑是清醒的,胸中是有数的,信心是坚定的。
我们坚持用改革的办法破解发展难题,不断完善社会主义市场经济体制。我们全面推进社会事业发展,覆盖城乡的社会保障体系初步形成,使“学有所教、劳有所得、病有所医、老有所养、住有所居”的理想逐步变成现实。参考译文:
Since the outbreak of the international financial crisis, profound reflection has multiplied among international organizations, governments, business communities and the academia as a method for exploring causes of the crisis and ways for global and national economy.China's economic achievement has arisen both cheers and boos, so does its future prospect.However, in this regard, we are clear in mind with thoughtful plans and firm confidence.We will adhere to the reforms in addressing problems relating to the development and continuously perfect the economic system in the socialist market.We will propel the thrive of social undertakings and preliminarily form the social security system covering urban and rural areas so as to gradually achieve the aim that students have access to education, employees to pay, patients to medical treatments, elders to good care and residents to housing.【评析】
文本节选自第五届夏季达沃斯论坛中温家宝出席开幕式时的演讲。此次演讲中,他清楚表明了关于中国未来发展的立场、政策,并传达了中国希冀与世界共同繁荣的美好愿景。原文表述通俗易懂,语言具有中国特色。在翻译时应当抓住句子的本质内涵,切忌按部就班、字字对译。对于“学有所教、劳有所得、病有所医、老有所养、住有所居”这类表述,应当做到清楚明了,句式符合英文语法。此外,考生还应注意译文与原文文风保持一致。
2013年9月中级口译汉译英答案 【原文】
自古以来,我国各民族人民劳动、生息、繁衍在祖国的土地上,各民族组之间建立了紧密的政治经济文化联系,早在两千多年前就形成了幅员辽阔的统一国家。悠久的中华文化,成为维系民族团结和国家统一的牢固纽带。
我们的先人历来把独立自主作为立国之本。中国作为人类文明发祥地之一,在几千年的历史进程中,文化传统始终没有中断。近代中国虽屡遭列强欺凌,国势衰败,但经过全民族的百年抗争,又以巨人的姿态重新站立起来。【参考译文】
From ancient times, our people of all ethnic groups have labored, lived, multiplied on this land, where closely-knitted political, economic and cultural links have been established.As early as two thousand years ago, we have built a unified nation with a vast territory.The long-standing Chinese cultures become a strong bond for ethnic harmony and national unity.Our ancestors were dedicated to the proposition of maintaining independence.As one of the cradles of human civilizations,China has all along maintained its cultural tradition without letup in the history of several thousand years.In modern times, the frequent bullying and humiliation by imperialist powers once weakened China.However, after a hundred year's struggle of the entire Chinese nation, China has stood up again as a giant.【评析】 这篇文章难度适中。一般源自领导人讲话材料,因此口译考试多关注国家领导发言稿。本篇重点在于一些关于民族历史和发展的固定搭配词汇。如:劳动、繁衍、生息、幅员辽阔的统一国家、纽带、发祥地等,因此注意积累相关固定表达。
2012年9月中级口译汉译英答案 【原文】
近代以来,亚洲经历了曲折和艰难的发展历程。亚洲人们为改变自己的命运,始终以不屈的意志和艰辛的奋斗开辟前进道路。今天,人们所看到的亚洲发展成就,是勤劳智慧的亚洲人民不屈不挠、锲而不舍奋斗的结果。
亚洲人民深知,世界上没有放之四海而皆准的发展模式,也没有一成不变的发展道路,亚洲人民勇于变革创新,不断开拓进取,探索和开辟适应时代潮流,符合自身实际的发展道路,为经济社会发展打开了广阔前景。【译文】
In modern times, Asia experienced twists and turns in its development.To change their destiny, the people of Asia have been forging ahead in an indomitable spirit and with hard struggle.Asia's development achievements today are the result of the persistent efforts of the industrious and talented Asian people.The people of Asia are fully aware that there is no ready model or unchanging path of development that is universally applicable.They never shy away from reform and innovation.Instead, they are committed to exploring and finding development paths that are in line with the trend of the times and their own situations, and have opened up bright prospects for economic and social development.【评析】
文中较难处理的句子有:“亚洲人们为改变自己的命运,始终以不屈的意志和艰辛的奋斗开辟前进道路。”其中“亚洲人们……开辟前进道路”是主干结构,“为改变自己的命运”表示目的,可以译成不定式to change their destiny放在句子前面,“以不同的意志和艰辛的奋斗”译成介词短语放在句尾。“放之四海而皆准的发展模式”的中心词是“模式”,修饰语“放之四海而皆准的”意为“普遍适用的”,可译为定语从句放在中心词后。最后一个句子较长,可根据句意进行拆分,确定主干词,对语序进行调整,以流畅的英文表达出来。
2012年3月中级口译汉译英答案 原文:
吸烟之危害,可谓大矣,其严重性是不能低估的。吸烟污染空气,损害健康,使肺癌发病率大大增加。为了使各国人民关注烟草的盛行及预防吸烟导致的疾病和死亡,世界卫生组织已将每年的5月31日定为“世界无烟日”。
瘾君子们说,一天饭不吃可以,一个时辰不抽烟就难捱了,不能戒。只要真正意识到吸烟有百害而无一利,于人于己都是一种祸害,就有可能下决心摆脱烟草的诱惑。戒烟贵在坚持,坚持下去就是收获。参考译文:
Smoking does great harm to human and its gravity should not be underestimated.Smoking pollutes air, damages health, and increases the incidence of lung cancer.To arouse the awareness about the prevalence of tobacco in all the countries and to prevent smoking-induced diseases and deaths, the WHO(World Health Organization)has defined May 31st in every year as World No-Tobacco Day.The tobacco addicts say that smoking is impossible to quit because they could do without meals in a day but would feel tortured without tobacco in two hours.However, when one realizes that smoking is harmful in many ways but beneficial in no way and that it is a curse to others as well as to he himself, he will be determined to resist the temptation of tobacco.To quit smoking requires persistence and so long as one persists, he’ll be rewarded.点评:
这篇文章的主题是大家都很熟悉的“戒烟”。开篇的一些比较文言化的词如“之”,“矣”,以及后面的习语“有百害而无一利”,“于人于己”等完全是“纸老虎”,大家根本不用害怕,只要将句子的大意弄懂,然后用白话文译出即可化解难题。另外如“世界卫生组织”这样的专有名词,切记不要译错,这种平时常见而考试常考的高频词,必须牢记。
2014APEC中国年26个关键词 领导人!价值链!自贸区!„„
时隔13年,亚太经合组织(APEC)又来中国开会了,这一次是在北京,现在真是举国皆说APEC。那么,到底谁是知识最渊博、认识最深入的小伙伴呢? 我们为此精心编撰了APEC中国年词典,掌握从A到Z的26个关键词,那个人可能就是你。To help people better understand the focus of the APEC Beijing meeting, Xinhua News Agency has prepared a list of 26 key words that define the gathering of the leaders of Asia-Pacific economies.APEC|亚太经合组织
1989年诞生的亚太经合组织联通了太平洋两岸,对接了新兴与发达经济体,让“亚太”从地理概念变成了一个如今经济总量占据全球半壁江山的经济合作体,成为全球最具增长活力和发展潜力的地缘经济板块。
Born in 1989, the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation connects both sides of the Pacific Ocean, linking emerging economies with developed economies.APEC has made the geographical concept of “Asia-Pacific” into an economic cooperation group that accounts for half of the world's economy.It currently demonstrates the biggest growth vigor and potential.Bogor Goals|茂物目标
APEC成员1994年通过《茂物宣言》,提出了APEC“大家庭”的奋斗目标,承诺最迟不晚于2020年实现在亚太地区的自由开放的贸易和投资。今年是茂物目标提出20周年,人们期待北京会议使区域经济一体化路径更加清晰。
APEC members announced the Bogor Goals in 1994, proposing the goal of forming a “big family” of APEC members.They promised to achieve free and open trade and investment in the Asia-Pacific region no later than 2020.As it is the 20th anniversary of th Bogor Goals, people expect the APEC Beijing meeting to provide a clearer path for regional economic integration.Connectivity|互联互通
加强全方位基础设施与互联互通建设,是北京APEC的三个主要议题之一。各方正积极讨论准备制定的APEC互联互通蓝图,既涉及道路等基础设施的“硬联通”,也包括规章制度方面的“软联通”,还将推动人员的流动。

推动区域经济一体化是北京会议的主要议题之一,启动亚太自由贸易区进程有望取得新的突破。习近平主席2013年在巴厘岛的亚太经合组织工商领导人峰会上表示,我们要携手建设开放型经济和区域合作框架,以开放包容精神推进亚太自由贸易区建设。
Promoting regional economic integration is a major topic of the APEC Beijing meeting.The meeting is expected to make new progress in starting building the Free Trade Area of the Asia-Pacific(FTAAP).Growth|增长
促进经济创新发展、改革与增长,是当前亚太各经济体面临的共同任务,也是北京会议的主要议题之一。APEC各成员将就经济改革、新经济、创新增长、包容性支持和城镇化等五大支柱领域展开交流对话,发掘亚太新一轮经济增长的新动力。

亚太经合组织作为一个非约束性的磋商机制而非谈判场所,在引领地区贸易自由化的同时,也为世贸组织开创新局面提供了推动力。
APEC serves as a negotiation platform following a non-binding principle.APEC not only heralds the regional trade liberalization but also drives WTO to break new grounds.Obama|奥巴马
应中国国家主席习近平邀请,美国总统奥巴马将于10日至12日来华出席亚太经合组织领导人非正式会议并对中国进行国事访问。
At the invitation of Chinese President Xi Jinping, U.S.President Barack Obama will pay a state visit to China and attend the 22nd APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting from Nov.10 to 12.Partnership|伙伴关系
本次APEC会议的主题是“共建面向未来的亚太伙伴关系”。观察家解读,这一主题表明了对话、合作、包容、理解的愿望,是各成员能够接受的“最大公约数”,将为各成员超越“零和关系”铺平道路,从而能够集中精力创造可持续的经济增长。
This year's APEC meeting is under the theme “Shaping the Future Through Asia-Pacific Partnership,” underlining the aspiration that inclusive partnerships may be the greatest common ground APEC members can find.Analysts said the meeting will help pave the way for APEC members to bring relationships away from a zero-sum relation so that they can focus on promoting sustainable development.QE|量化宽松
美联储近期宣布退出量化宽松,而日本却宣布QE加码方案,未来欧洲央行推出新一轮刺激政策也是大概率事件。美国“收”、欧洲“放”、日本“乱”,或将导致全球资金大挪移,APEC成员如何应对可能波涛汹涌的国际资本流动?
The U.S.Federal Reserve has decided to end its quantitative easing(QE)stimulus while Japan's central bank unleashed an expansion of its already massive monetary easing program.The European Central Bank has also signaled plans to introduce QE to counter deflation and boost growth.How will APEC members brace for the possibly volatile capital flows ahead?

1.Bill Gates is smiling again.The boyish enthusiasm is back, and the grueling burdens of monopoly lawsuits and dotcom downturns are receding.America’s best-known billionaire is back to doing what he has always done best-designing exciting new products and making barrels of money.The Launch of Office XP,a sophisticated rethink of Microsoft’s most popular business toll at the end of this May,marks merely the opening shot in a forthcoming technological blitz that Gates is serenely convinced will cement his companuy’s status as the unshakable colossus of computing.“It’s great to see people enthused about what we are doing.”Gates happily declares.2.China,the world’s most populous nation,joined the World Trade Organization on November 10,2001,thus ending 15 years of negotiations,offering China a new place at the table of nations and giving new life to centuries of dreams.The admission is one of China’s most significant diplomatic achievements since it displaced Taiwan and took a seat on the United Nations Securities Council in 1971,soon after which then President Richard Nixon made his famous trip to Beijing.Admission means China will enjoy protection against the imposition of barriers on its goods.The United States will cease the annual review

1.比尔。盖茨又一次微笑了。他那孩童般的热情又回来了。那场另人身心疲惫的反垄断诉讼案以及网络公司低迷徘徊的局面正在接近尾声。美国这们闻名遐迩的亿万富翁重新做起了他一贯最拿手的工作-设计激动人心的新产品并赚得大把的钞票。
5月底,微软将其最受欢迎的办公商务软件的经典改进版Office XP投放市场,打响了该公司即将闪电式推出一系列新技术产品的第一炮。盖茨深信,这些产品将巩固其公司作为计算机行业不可动摇的“航空母舰”地位。
盖茨不无骄傲地说:“看到人们对我们所从事的工作如此热心,真是太棒了。”
2.中国这个世界上人口最多的国家,于2001年11月10加入了世界贸易组织,从而结束了15年的漫长谈判,为中国在国际上赢得了一个新的席位,并为几个世纪以来的梦想注入了新的活力。
加入WTO是自1971年中国取代台湾获得联合国安理会席位(那以后不久,理查德。尼克松总统便开始了其著名的北京之行)以来中国所取得的最为重大的外交成就之一。
加入WTO表明中国将得以保护其商品免遭惩罚性贸易关卡。美国将停止其一年一度的对华贸易审查程序。在这个审查程序中,美国国会总是以中国的人权状况为由来审议终止与中国的“正常贸易关系”。

What kind of jobs are they?
W: There are quite a number of par-time jobs available for overseas students here.There are the student cafeteria, university libraries, and of course, the summer course programs offered by the education centre.Presently, I've been working in the university book store, the second-hand book division.M: But that kind of cuts into your studies, I suppose.W: It does, to a certain extent.But I found that with the added pressure of having to earn money, I use my study time more effectively and get more done.M: So in that sense, it's kind of a good thing for you.11.(D)What is the woman doing now? 12.(C)According to the conversation, which of the following is the major reason for the woman to work part-time while in the university? 13.(B)Where is the woman working part-time now? 14.(A)What will the woman do with the added pressure of having to earn money herself?

At first, you did it awkwardly, but the more you practiced, the surer you were.The activity had changed from a set of awkward rules to nerve-ending responses.You had it on your finger tips.A while back I had each student in class learn the first and last names of everyone else, all in one fifty minute period.I had never done this before myself.And I was expected to perform when everyone else had finished.There I was encouraging everyone while I was getting sweaty hands and developing considerable anxiety.What if the teacher failed? It was hard but I did manage with one or two mistakes.But after that session, it got easier and easier.Now I am absolutely sure I can do it with 120 students each semester.That is 240 bits of information.Not only that, but I am not at all worried, no sweaty palms.The less anxious I am, the better I perform.That is the point.Success makes you more confident and confidence makes it easier to succeed.So try it till you succeed.Then try a few more times just to convince yourself.15.(D)Who is the speaker? 16.(C)Why did the woman get sweaty hands when remembering names? 17.(B)How many students does the woman probably teach each semester? 18.(D)According to the woman, what makes her more confident?

Questions 23~26
If you are driving a car to work or to a seaside resort, safety is always the top priority.Here are some of the tips for driving safely.First, drive carefully and slowly when pedestrians are about, particularly in crowded shopping streets.When you see a bus stop or near a parked mobile shop, Watch out for pedestrians coming from behind parked or stopped vehicles, or from other places where you might not be able to see them.Three out of four pedestrians killed or seriously injured in traffic accidents are either under the age of 15 or over 60.The young and the elderly may not judge speeds very well, and may step into the road when you do not expect them.Give them plenty of time to cross the road.Also, stop and wait patiently for the blind or disabled people.Second, drive slowly near schools, and look out for children getting on or off school buses.Stop when signaled to do so by a school crossing patrol showing a stop-children sign.Be careful near a parked ice-cream van.Children are more interested in ice-cream than in traffic.Finally, when coming to a zebra crossing, be ready to slow down or stop to let people cross.You must give way once they have stepped on to a crossing.Signal to other drivers that you mean to slow down or stop.Give yourself more time to slow down or stop on wet or icy roads.Remember, under no circumstances should you overtake other vehicles just before a zebra crossing.23.(C)What is the main idea of the talk? 24.(A)Why are young and elderly people more likely to get killed or injured in traffic accidents? 25.(D)According to the talk, for whom should a driver stop the car and wait patiently? 26.(B)What should a driver do just before a zebra crossing?
Questions 27~30
M: And now with us on today’s program we have Lucy Draper.She is an expert on handwriting analysis and has published a number of books on the subject.Lucy, welcome.W: Thank you very much.M: It is well known that there are many different features of one’s handwriting.What are these features exactly?
W: Well, there is the slant of the writing, the pressure and spacing, the capital letters, the margins and the signature.They all play a part in handwriting analysis.M: Perhaps we can begin by looking at the question of slant.W: Okay.Well, basically there are three kinds of slant: right, left and upright, though sometimes you may come across a mixture.If your handwriting slants to the right, it shows a friendly and sociable disposition.You enjoy human contact and like to have people around you.However, if your handwriting definitely slants to the left, it shows an introspective nature, often shy and reserved.You are more interested in your own feelings than other people’s.If your handwriting is upright, it reveals very good self-control, and your head usually controls your heart.M: What about size of handwriting? Does the size of one’s handwriting tell us something?
W: Yes.Well, basically very large handwriting belongs to the extroverts and socially-minded people.They enjoy attention and admiration.The small writer, on the other hand, is more concerned with things than people.Small writing is often found in the handwriting of many scientists and intellectual.They generally are not interested in an active social life.Medium handwriting shows a good balance between mind and emotion.Such writers are generally able to communicate and mix without being either reserved or over familiar.M: So let’s put theory to practice.What would you say to this sample of handwriting?
W: Well, this more rounded, medium-sized handwriting shows a lively personality who enjoys companionship.She is talkative.See the small open As and Os, and has a friendly approach to people.But the wide space between the words indicates that she can keep her personal distance when necessary.Whose handwriting is this?
M: Well, to tell you the truth, that’s my wife’s handwriting.27.(C)What is the woman’s specialized field of research?
28.(A)According to the woman, what does an upright slant in one’s handwriting reveal about the writer? 29.(B)Who are more likely to be concerned with things rather than people? 30.(C)What feature of handwriting makes the woman say that the man’s wife can keep her personal distance when necessary?

美国经济发展速度日益减缓,工作机遇日益凸显不稳定性。身为一所小型高校的校长,我时刻关注今年毕业生面临的就业市场。最新消息报道了贝尔斯登公司撤销了为商学院毕业生提供的数百个职位,这正是公司裁员的通常做法。而全美的大学也随之降低招生规模。但即使经济前景惨淡,今年的毕业生还是有望找到工作。诚然,众多公司纷纷裁员,但其中许多也正寻求新的人才,尤其是低端职位。
超过百万的职场新人像潮水般涌入劳动力市场,学生们应该认识到,在全球市场环境下,语言技巧至关重要,灵活性也同样不可或缺。如果毕业生愿意接受起点低的工作,就工作要求做出一些让步,如果公司要求也不介意搬至其他城市工作,那么他就有可能得到一份工作。因此,即使失业情况日益严重,毕业生还是可以将找工作视作一份长远职业的第一次挑战。

According to a well-informed source, it was before this year's Spring Festival that Carrefour made its “first intimate contact” with Xindaxin company.Without doubt the Guangzhou Municipal Government served as the “matchmaker”.The two parties “had an affinity for each other” in only a few months.What on earth is Xindaxin's appeal to Carrefour? It is of great concern to the outsiders / the public.Mr He, general manager of Xindaxin, instead of giving any positive response to this question, just made a general / ambiguous reply that Xindaxin boasts its uniqueness in the department stores industry in Guangzhou.Mr He disclosed that Xindaxin holds 35% of the shares of the newly-established company while Carrefour owns the other 65%: “which is in conformity with the policies of departments concerned, stipulating that the Chinese side must hold no less than 35% of the shares.”
