第一篇：三级口译考试的准备方法
三级口译考试的准备方法
规律1：对话部分考社会热点内容，多与中西方文化交流有关。近几年真题出现过的内容：外国人看中国文化；伦敦文化和中国春节；姚明在美国NBA；中国人和外国人对麦当劳不同的看法；新一代居民身份证；上海和上海世博会；讨论世界地球日。三级口译准备复习建议：这部分考试难度最低，不是考翻译，而是考察的学生的基本听力和口语的能力。这20分是学生必须要抢的20分。复习时要紧紧扣住热门词汇和近期热门话题，对于中国和英美一些特有的背景词汇要特别突击一下，比如考试出现的中国“古钱”，“春联”，“麦当劳”。规律2：英译汉部分考大会发言，多为大会的基调发言。近几年真题出现过的内容：中国在世界舞台上的崛起；环境保护和自然资源；全球气候变暖；亚洲的价值与繁荣；科学、信息和社会；介绍艾滋病；英国王妃戴安娜的新闻。三级口译准备复习建议：最早的考试可以忽略不计，戴安娜为新闻体，艾滋病过于专业，因此最近5次考试再也没有重复过这样的题型。因此，复习时应该紧紧扣住大会英语，背记有关大会英语的词汇和高频句子。人事部指定教材的英译汉内容基本都是大会的演讲，尤其是外国人来到中国参加各种大会的演讲，以及世界重大会议的基调发言，广大同学应用听译-视译-听译的办法复习，相信指定教材对考试的指向性。不要过分偏离教材，按照自己的想象复习。
规律3：汉译英部分考外交式的严肃讲话，或介绍中国政策和特色。近几年真题出现过的内容：北京市新春致词；香港和香港经济；介绍秦始皇兵马俑；新加坡和新加坡经济；亚洲经济和中国经济；中英外交关系；中美外交关系。三级口译准备复习建议：这部分的内容最为稳定，复习时抓住指定教材中大而空的汉译英内容，因为口译书上的汉译英部分都是中国的领导在重大场合或重要时刻对外国人的讲话，以上每一次考试都有教材的影子。考试时要从这里拿走30分以上，因为汉译英的要求会相对较低，大体说出意思就行，这毕竟是三级考试，不必在语言的细枝末节方面或所谓的“地道”方面太计较。
以上都是根据今年的出题规律来引导大家做好三级口译准备，美联英语学习网也希望大家通过其他的准备来好好的复习，只有自己的努力和好好把握才能在考试中取得主动，因为三级口译准备永远是需要自己去努力的。

英语口译三级精讲班第1讲讲义
背景
一、背景
1、翻译资格考试
从２００３年１２月底开始实施的全国翻译资格（水平）考试（ＣＡＴＴＩ），英文叫China Aptitude Test for
Translators and
Interpreters，缩写叫CATTI。是由国家人事部委托中国外文局负责实施与管理的一个面向全国的翻译专业资格考试，分为７个语种４个等级（资深翻译与一级、二级、三级口译、笔译翻译）进行，不对报名者的学历、资历、职业做出限定，强调“以能力标准为核心”的翻译资格标准。
翻译专业资格考试,最重要的特点就是翻译资格认证的权威性。
此外，全国翻译专业资格（水平）考试独特之处是深化职称改革。过去获得职称必须通过评审，现在，如果通过全国翻译专业资格（水平）考试三级笔译或口译考试，就可以申请获得助理翻译职称。助理翻译是翻译专业系列初级职称。通过了二级笔译或口译考试，也可以申请翻译职称。翻译职称是翻译专业系列中级职称。
全国翻译专业资格（水平）考试的设立，旨在将来和一些得到国际公认的翻译考试资格认证的发达国家，进行资格的互相承认，比如英国、澳大利亚等英语国家都已经有了自己的翻译资格认证。到那个时候我们的翻译资格考试证书就成为了一个“国际驾照”。
全国翻译专业资格（水平）考试三级口译的基本要求是掌握5000个以上英语词汇，初步了解中国和英语国家的文化背景知识，能胜任一般场合的交替传译。
2、英语口译实务3级考试
英语口译实务3级考试含对话英汉互译（20%）、语篇英汉交替传译（40%，约500-650个单词）和语篇汉英交替传译（40%，约300-400个单词）。考试时间为30分钟。
3、英语口译实务3级课程
为了帮助大家提高口译实战的能力及备考的能力，我们开设这门3级“口译实务”课程。本课程一共16个单元，内容按照3级考试的题型分为对话英汉互译和语篇英汉互译。每个单元围绕一个主题展开，第一个主题就是“礼仪祝词”。礼仪祝词一般用在大会发言中。
英汉互译
第一单元礼仪祝词

二、口译技巧
1．英汉语序调整
※ 英语状语可前可后，汉语状语一般前置。
China’s first manned space flight successfully circled the earth 14
times during its 21-hour trip.中国首次载人航天飞机在21小时的飞行中成功地绕地球14圈。
香港在国家走向盛事的背景下回归到祖国的怀抱，实行“一国两制”，是我们向港人的幸运。
We are lucky to have returned to the motherland under “One Country,Two Systems” at the time of her rise to power.※
汉语的主语如果前面的修饰语较长或者主语本身由短语或长句构成，译成英语一般把主语提前，前置定语转换为英语的定语从句；或者采用形式主语it的方式。
中国首次载人航天飞行取得圆满成功的日子是一个有着重要历史意义的日子。（强调句型）
It was a day of historic significance when China completely
succeeded in its first manned space flight.工业化国家(发达国家)和发展中国家之间科学和信息技术分配不均衡的问题也值得关注。
The uneven distribution of science and information between the
industrialized and developing countries also raises concern.（2004年11月真题）
振兴经济、改善民生、改善施政、依照基本法推动香港民主向前发展，是市民对本届政府的诉求，也是本届政府义不容辞的责任。
It is the expectation of people in HK and unshirkable duty of SAR
government to revitalize the economy, improve people’s livelihood,improve standards of governance and promote democratic advancementaccording to Basic Law.反之，英语中带有很长修饰成分的主语或宾语在译成汉语时，需要将修饰成分提前。
On behalf of all my colleagues in every part of the UN, in every
corner of the globe, who have devoted their lives – and in many
instances risked or given their lives in the cause of peace – I
thank the Members of the Nobel Committee for this high honor.我谨代表在联合国各个部门、在全球每个角落全心全意地工作、在很多情况下为和平事业冒着生命危险生殖奉献出生命的所有的同事，感谢诺贝尔和平委员会成员给予我们这一从高荣誉。

standards.// With the assiduity, courage and wisdom of the Chinese
people, we are about to write a new and even more brilliant chapter
in the lives of our 1.3 billion countrymen and the advancement of
human civilization.//（拆分成三句）
由于长句被拆分，需要第三个句子中添加主语“我们”。

path to success with greater ambition to develop economy in a more
massive scale and at a higher level.// With the assiduity, courage
and wisdom of the Chinese people, we are about to write a new and

课文口译(一)
一、分配注意力和理解能力的培养
1、目的：学习分配注意力
在语篇层次上对原语意义的理解，而不是对原文文字进行逐字逐句地翻译。
2、方法：跟读后复述出大意
（刚开始时跟读可以和原语同步开始，操练一阵以后，可以迟于原语片刻跟读，为口译打下扎实的基础）
加强语言外知识的积累，关心国内外大事，听广播、读报纸
3、要求：抓住关键信息即可，不必过多要求细节的累述
4、示范：香港庆祝中华人民共和国成立五十四周年发言（中译英）安南秘书长接受诺贝尔和平奖发言（英译中）
中译英提纲： 1)聚会目的：庆祝中华人民共和国成立５４周年
2)两件大事：领导换届、抗击非典
3)回归是幸事
4)责任及具体措施
5)展望与呼吁
第四篇：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.
第五篇：口译考试（模版）
1.Hotels in China Hotels in China are classified into first class, second class and third class based on their star-rating.Five-star and most four-star hotels are in the first class, Guest rooms in first class hotels all have fully-fitted bathrooms, refrigerators, telephones and satellite TV.They have fully adjustable climate control through central air-conditioning facilities.Other ancillary facilities provided by these hotels include such things as business centers, conference facilities, beauty parlours, saunas, foreign exchange, bowling centers, disco-ballrooms, swimming pools, gymnasiums, restaurants, cafes, shopping centers and bars which are open 2 hours a day.The second class generally includes three-star hotels and some two-star ones.Guest room facilities and services are not up to the standard of those in first class hotels, Tour groups normally prefer to stay in second class hotels.Third class hotels are much like hotels in Western countries in terms of facilities and services.Hardware facilities in such hotels are of course inferior to those provided by second class hotels, but they offer prices 50% or mote below those of second class hotels.As a result, they are popular with many tourists.中国酒店
在中国的酒店按照星级标准划分为一级、二级和三级酒店。

2.Today we’ll meet one of the greatest cellists of our times, Yo-Yo Ma.His career as a professional cellist spans more than 20 years and over 50 albums.He has been honoured for his music with many awards including an amazing 14 Grammy.He has played on many important occasions including the Grammy and the Olympics.Yo-Yo Ma was born in France to Chinese parents who were both musicians.His mother was a singer, his father, a composer.Yo-Yo Ma gave his first public performance when he was only 5.Four years later, at the tender age of 9, he was playing at the prestigious Carnegie Hall in New York, by which time the family had moved to the US.Yo-Yo Ma pursued his cello studies at the Julliard School of Music.From there he opted to attend Harvard and got a degree in anthropology.His experiences at Harvard as well as his multi-cultural background have helped to shape who he is today.Today Yo-Yo Ma continues his musical journey, never hesitating to collaborate with musicians of all genres and from around the world.He is inspired by people and nature.To him, the cello is an extension of his vocal cords.The most important thing when he plays is to give all of himself all of the time in a performance, to try to transmit the contents of the music to the audience he is playing for.今天,我们会见到一个最大的大提琴手我们的时代,马友友.他的职业生涯作为一个专业的大提琴跨越20年以上和超过50张唱片.他已荣幸地为他的音乐与许多奖项,包括惊人的14个格莱美奖.他曾在许多重要场合,包括格莱美奖和奥运会.马友友出生在法国的中国父母谁都是音乐家.他的母亲是一名歌手,他的父亲,一个作曲家.马友友了他第一次公开表演时,他只有5个.四年后,在招标9岁,他是在玩盛名的卡内基音乐厅在纽约举行,届时家庭已转移到美国.马友友大提琴推行他的研究,于该院音乐学院.从那里,他选择了参加哈佛大学获得学位的人类学.他在哈佛大学的经验以及他的多文化背景有帮助塑造他是谁今天.今天马友友继续他的音乐之旅,从来没有犹豫配合音乐家的所有流派和来自世界各地的.他是启发人与自然.他说,大提琴是延长他的声带.最重要的事情时,他扮演是让所有对自己所有的时间性能,试图把内容的音乐给观众,他扮演的.3.For 45 years, Fortune magazine has been ranking the largest companies in the United States.The result is their annual ―Fortune 500‖ list.Sometimes people will refer to the top 100 companies on the list as the ―Fortune 100‖.45年来，《财富》杂志一直给美国的大公司排名，这就是一年一度的“财富500强”，有时也将前100名称为“财富100强”。
Essentially, the magazine lists the U.S.based corporations with the largest revenue in the past year.Fortune calculates revenue using publicly available data, therefore private companies, i.e., those whose stock is not traded on a public market, are excluded.U.S.subsidiaries of foreign companies are also excluded.上榜的上市公司基本上都是头年收入名列前茅的美国本土公司。《财富》杂志根据上市公司的公开数据来计算收入，未上市公司没有列入，因为他们的股票没有公开发行。国外公司在美的分公司也不参与排名。
Fortune 500‖ companies are among the biggest, most profitable, and most powerful companies in America.In terms of profits even the bottom end of the Fortune 500 list isn’t too shabby.On last year’s list, the company at the bottom still had a respectable sum of over $3 billion.“财富500强”公司是美国规模最大、利润最多、实力最强的公司。讲到收入，即使500强排最后一名的公司也财大气粗，如去年排名最末的公司收入也超过30亿美元。
While the ―Fortune 500‖ is limited to American companies, the magazine also publishes the ―Global 500‖, which ranks publicly held companies from around the world.Of course, because the U.S.dominates as much of the global economy, many Fortune 500 companies rank high in the ―Global 500‖ too.除了介绍美国公司的“财富500强”，《财富》杂志还推出了“全球500强”，给各国的上市公司排名。当然，由于美国经济在全球经济中的地位，许多“财富500强”的美国公司也高居“全球500强”的榜首。
Fortune magazine also publishes other lists, such as the ―100 Best Companies to work for‖ and the ―100 Fastest-Growing Companies‖.It’s an interesting exercise to compare all the lists and see where companies overlap.For example, the No.1 company to work for may not rank on the ―Fortune 500‖ at all.With the top companies on both the U.S.and worldwide 500 lists, you won’t find them on either of the most admired companies list.Maybe the Beatles were right – money can’t buy you love.《财富》杂志也推出其他排名，如“100家受雇条件最佳公司”，“100家增长最快的公司”等。比较各种排名看看哪些公司重复上榜，是很有意思的事。比如，在“100家受雇条件最佳公司”榜上排名第一的公司可能根本不在“财富500强”之列。而排在“财富美国500强”和“世界500强”前列的公司，却上不了“最受人尊敬的公司”排行榜。也许甲壳虫乐队说得对—爱是不能用金钱买来的。卡梅隆导演第二届北京国际电影节开幕式致辞
2012年4月23日晚，北京国家会议中心明星齐聚，嘉宾云集，第二届北京国际电影节《光影流金》开幕式在此举行。美国著名电影导演詹姆斯•卡梅隆出席开幕式并发表致辞，以下为致辞全文，由口译网会员David听写整理。
4.Thank you for that.谢谢，晚上好。
It’s centainly an unbelievable privilege and honor to be here at the 2nd Beijing International Film Festival.This is certainly a historic occasion and it’s so beautifully produced and quite magnificent.The opening act alone was certainly worth the 15-hour flight to get here.It was absolutely exquisite.首先，我要感谢主办方邀请我参加第二届北京国际电影节。这是一场历史性的盛会，仅看开幕式的盛况就值得花费15小时的飞行来到这里，简直是精彩绝伦。China is not only one of the most active economies globally but is a fast growing market for films in the world right now.In this country, they are installing 8 new cinemas a day and the rate is actually rising.There are still thousands of towns and counties waiting to get their first movie theaters ever.And when they get them, they’ll be in digital 3D.中国不仅是世界上经济发展最快的国家之一，还是世界上电影市场发展最为迅猛的国家之一。在中国，每天都有8家新增的影院，并且数量还在增加。还有数千个城镇还没有电影院，它们建的第一家电影院就会是数字3D影院。
I personally experienced the effect of this rapid expansion.In the last two weeks, “Titanic 3D” has made as much money here in China as it has in all the other international markets combined.I think that's incredible.我也亲身感受到了数字3D技术的迅速发展。最近两周，《泰坦尼克号》3D版在中国创下了惊人的票房，其收入相当于世界上其他市场的票房总和。
And not only is rapid growth in the number of theaters unprecedented, but the embrace of 3D, and the cinema-going experience by Chinese audiences is breathtaking.In an age of streaming video watched on iPhones and tablets, the Chinese audience has spoken resoundingly, that they love watching movies where movies were meant to be seen, on the big screen.不仅仅是电影院数量的增速史无前例，更为令人惊讶的是中国观众对3D电影的热衷程度。在这个流行用苹果手机和平板电脑看视频的时代，中国观众大声地宣告，他们喜欢看大银幕上播放的电影。
I believe this rising tide will raise all the ships together not only the international films which now have greater access to the growing Chinese market, but the internal Chinese film industry itself which will benefit from the rapidly growing installed base of theatres and audience that's hungry for entertainment.随着水涨船高，除了更多的国际电影涌入正在发展壮大的中国市场之外，电影院越来越多，观众对电影的需求越来越大，中国电影业的发展也会深受其益。China is a force to be reckoned with in the world film industry and the world is paying attention to China.I expect this year's festival to be a landmark moment as filmmakers from all over the world mingle with the Chinese film community to exchange views, to plan co-productions and simply to continue to earn each other's respect.Today and together we can shape a vibrant and prosperous future.中国是世界电影业中不可忽视的一股力量，世界关注着中国的发展。我认为，今年的电影节将会成为中国电影的里程碑——来自世界各国的电影人与中国电影人共聚一堂，相互交流，共同探讨电影的合拍事宜，增强互信互重。我们将共同创造一个生机勃勃、欣欣向荣的未来。
Films are such an important vehicle for cultural exchange between countries and peoples.We can feel the open atmosphere of Beijing International Film Festival embracing and representing a variety of films from different locations, languages and cultures and in various categories.电影是国与国之间、人民与人民之间一个非常重要的文化纽带。我们能够感受到北京国际电影节活跃的氛围，来自不同国家、不同语言和不同类型的电影都在这里展映。
You know, we gather here to celebrate and enjoy each other's work as film-makers, and together, to contribute to making Beijing International Film Festival an increasingly important event for the world film industry in coming years.我们共聚一堂，庆祝和欣赏我们电影人的卓越成就。有了我们的共同努力，北京国际电影节将会在未来几年成为国际电影界越来越重要的盛事。
