第一篇:中级口译复习方法
中级口译复习方法
1.抓住新闻和三本教材才是关键
2.每年中高口考试有1/3的内容是出自书上的3.听力书是肯定要做的4.翻译书要好好看,特别是成语、俚语还有一些艺术性文字的翻译方法,对于教材里提到的词组最好还是能记多少记多少,有备无患,有几张不是很重要的可以略过
5.里面礼仪祝词部分一定要变成条件反射,基本上每年笔试或者口试肯定有这种题目的,我自己考的时候就是口试碰到的6.除了这个捏,最好多做几套真题,反正现在市面上的真题也很多,网上的话也都有mp3,因为你不仅要熟悉速度、题型,还要熟悉读录音的那个人的语音语调,7.最主要还是要多听英语新闻,多看英文报纸,像china daily,shanghai daily之类的,尤其注意经济政治方面的东西,因为听力和阅读部分肯定会考到这些方面,要牢记,听力可以靠突击。英语报纸不需要多,一个星期一两份就可以了,但是一定要看透,把里面常用的经济术语、政治术语牢记,像什么“和平共处五项原则”、“通胀”、“睦邻友好关系”之类的东西,还是把它变成条件反射吧...8.做口译的阅读,整篇看完发现读不懂是正常现象,所以解题技巧也很重要,千万记得先看题再看文,否则只是浪费时间,具体的这里也没办法讲清楚,有上过培训班的话老师应该会讲,但最终还是要靠你自己琢磨
9.总结就是——阅读是积累的,听力每天听一点,最后半个月短时间突击,一定要练写字速度和速记反应,口译么,等笔试过了在准备也不迟
10.现在是第三个版,培训教材为上海紧缺人才培训工程教学系列丛书,共五册 中级口语教程严诚忠 戚元方编著

11.如果你英语还不错的话不用怎么复习考前一个礼拜做两套题培养培养感觉就行 如果觉得不放心的话把那本听力教程的题做做吧
翻译教程上主要是一些单词如果你没有报班的话看的时候可以自己整理一下背背 阅读没什么看头的主要是把握好时间
听力分数一定要把握住这部分最容易拿分做好了及格问题应该就不大了 翻译的话只要大致意思翻到了分数即使不高也会有及格分的建议考试的时候听力结束直接先做翻译剩下时间慢慢磨阅读因为阅读比较麻烦万一磨得时间太多来不及做翻译就糟糕了毕竟一个来不及可以蒙另外一个就实打实的没分了
第二篇:中级口译笔试复习方法
译考试的脚步越来越近了,考前两周的时间里,准备考试的你到底应该准备些什么呢?如果之前还没有开始好好复习,那从现在开始临阵磨枪吧!不到最后关头,绝不浪费任何复习机会!1.首先做一整套真题。
有很多同学复习的时候会选择分部分进行练习,这并不是不可取,但冲刺阶段,建议大家至少留两套完整真题。第一套在考前一个月左右做,另一套在考前三天到一周左右的时间做。在这之前,大家通过上课、做练习已经对自己的薄弱环节有一定的了解了,那么经过一段时间的积累,现在进展如何了呢?做这一套真题,帮你了解前一阶段的学习成果,细致定位薄弱环节:比如之前知道自己听力部分是弱项,经过一段时间的努力,Spot Dictation 错误率降低了,选择题基本没什么大问题了,句子听译也有明显的改善„„那么接下来就要研究一下错题,比如看一下Spot Dictation是因为单词听不清、不会拼而扣分还是因为跟不上而扣分。花相对多的时间在失误多的地方,不要盲目做真题、模拟题。此外,这个时候做完整的真题,要尽量掐好时间,以便在后面几周的复习中,针对性地加快做题速度。
2.弱项重点击破。
对自己的薄弱环节有了更清晰的认识之后,下一步当然是要针对性地突击了。上面也提到了,花相对多的时间在薄弱环节上,并不是说其他部分就可以放心不练了。手边有模拟题的同学,这段时间可以每天或者每两天做一套真题,然后针对薄弱环节着重练习。练习材料可以是教材,也可以是模拟题分项训练。总之,每天每部分都要练习到,薄弱部分多练一遍,坚持下去。
3.整理错题及知识点。
做了大量的练习,不进行错题整理以及笔记复习是万万不行的。练到后来可能速度是上去了,但正确率却迟迟上不去。所以,不论是平时练习还是考前冲刺,整理环节是必不可少的。错题整理一般包括单词和知识点的整理。Spot Dictation 以及听译部分的生词以及词组必整理,阅读理解部分感觉常出现但老是记不住的单词必整理,翻译部分生词以及重要词组必整理。此外,还需要注意整理一些小技巧,比如Spot Dictation中碰到的单词的连读、弱读,多整理一下其中的规则自然而然会有领悟,还有要注意翻译中用词的对比,比如说“加强”一词,就可以有strengthen, enhance, promote等等多个词与之对应,多积累一些这样的词在汉译英中才能避免用词重复。
4.考前两三天回顾。
这个时候再做一套真题,一是对冲刺阶段的学习成果检查,二是让自己适应考试氛围,所以这次的真题建议可以选择和真正考试相同时间段进行练习,及时调整好状态,积极应考。此外,参加考试必备的准考证、身份证、收音机、耳机、电池、笔等也需要仔细检查,提前做好准备。

SECTION 3: TRANSLATION TEST(1)(30 minutes)
Directions: Translate the following passage into Chinese and write your version in the corresponding space in your ANSWER BOOKLET.A majority of the world’s climate scientists have convinced themselves, and also a lot of laymen, some of whom have political power, that the Earth’s climate is changing;that the change, from humanity’s point of view, is for the worse;and that the cause is human activity, in the form of excessive emissions of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide.世界上大多数气候科学家不但自己确信,也说服了很多外行人士(其中包括一些政界人士)--地球的气候正在改变;这种改变,从人类角度来看,是消极的;这种改变的始作俑者是人类,是由于排放超量的诸如二氧化碳等温室气体而造成的。
A minority, though, are sceptical.Some think that recent data suggesting the Earth’s average temperature is rising are explained by natural variations in solar radiation, and that this trend may be coming to an end.Others argue that there is no conclusive evidence that modern temperatures are higher than they used to be.少数人对此表示怀疑。一些人认为,最近有充分的数据表明地球平均气温上升是由于太阳辐射的自然波动,而且这种变化已接近尾声。另一些人认为并没有决定性证据表明近现代的地球温度高于古代。
We believe that global warming is a serious threat, and that the world needs to take steps to try to avert it.That is the job of the politicians.But we do not believe that climate change is a certainty.There are no certainties in science.Prevailing theories must be constantly tested against evidence, and more evidence collected, and the theories tested again.That is the job of the scientists.我们深信,全球气候变暖是一个严峻的威胁,全人类都需要采取行动改变这种状况--这是政治家的职责。但是我们并不认为气候变化已成定局。科学无绝对。流行的理论必须反复经过验证,才能下定论—这是科学家的工作。【解析】
本次中口英译汉的文章节选自《经济学人》(The Economist)网站2009年11月26日的文章A heated debate,配合当时的哥本哈根气候大会,属于事实热点,文字难度偏低。
第一段里的laymen是一个难点,这里的laymen是指不具有专业科学知识的外行,其中还包括政治家。另外,后文的“for the worse”表示“事情在向坏的方面发展”。
第二段,有第一句统摄,后面分述两种情况,并列关系需要发出来,没有太多难点。
第三段给出了报刊自己的观点,分别对政治家和科学家提出了期望。倒数第二段翻译被动语态时,需要注意,表达时要符合汉语习惯。SECTION 4: TRANSLATION TEST(2)(30 minutes)
Directions: Translate the following passage into English and write your version in the corresponding space in your ANSWER BOOKLET.1 新东方口译:http://edu.21cn.com/kcnet440/
豫园是上海著名的古典园林,已有400多年的历史。花园设计独特,具有明清两代南方的建筑艺术的风格。园内共有40余景,景色自然迷人,亭台楼阁、假山池塘和谐对称、协调均衡,其布局之精致自古闻名江南。
Renowned as a classical garden in Shanghai, the Yuyuan Garden dates back over 400 years.Its unique design is characterized by the styles of both the Ming and Qing Dynasties, which features the ancient southern architectures.The garden is dotted with 40 attractive scenic spots fascinating the tourists with its pavilions, pagodas, ponds and rockeries.The layout of the garden, which is harmoniously coordinated, has been earning the fame in South China for its delicacy since ancient times.豫园原为明代一位大官的私家花园,始建于1559年,直到20年后才建成。此后曾几经变迁,屡遭摧残。所幸的是,从1949年上海解放时,园内的主要景点尚完好无损。从1956年开始,豫园经过多次修缮,重现其昔日光彩。
The garden used to be the private garden of a prestigious government official in the Ming Dynasty.Founded in 1559, its construction was not completed until 20 years later.The vicissitudes and ravages ensued.Fortunately, the major scenic spots in the garden remained intact when Shanghai was liberated in 1949.The Yuyuan Garden managed to attain its rejuvenation after several renovations.【解析】
本段是典型的对外宣传材料,文章以短句为主,很有汉语的音律美。面对这类文章,我们应从意群出发,摆脱句式结构的限制。这样才能写出符合英文习惯的译文。
例如:“园内共有40余景,景色自然迷人,亭台楼阁、假山池塘、和谐对称、协调均衡,其布局之精致自古闻名江南。”,这里的四字短语,如果逐字逐句翻译的话,就不太好处理了。译文将其处理成两个句子,利用英语的句子成分使语义丰满,这种翻译技法,大家可以借鉴学习。2011年3月中级口译英译汉原文和参考答案
A majority of the world’s climate scientists have convinced themselves, and also a lot of laymen, some of whom have political power, that the Earth’s climate is changing;that the change, from humanity’s point of view, is for the worse;and that the cause is human activity, in the form of excessive emissions of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide.世界上大部分气候学家已经使他们自己及许多普通民众(包括一些政界人士)确信,地球的气候正处于变化之中;对人类而言,这一变化正日趋严重;罪魁祸首是人类活动,其表现形式为过量排放二氧化碳之类的温室气体。
A minority, though, are sceptical.Some think that recent data suggesting the Earth’s average temperature is rising are explained by natural variations in solar radiation, and that this trend may be coming to an end.Others argue that there is no conclusive evidence that modern temperatures are higher than they used to be.但是,仍有一小部分人对此持怀疑态度。一些人表示,虽然近期的数据表明地球的平均气温正在升高,但其原因是太阳辐射的自然波动,这一趋势可能临近结束。另一些人认为并没有决定性证据表明近现代的地球温度高于古代。

SECTION 1: LISTENING TEST(45 minutes)Part A: Spot Dictation
Directions: In this part of the test, you will hear a passage and read the same passage with blanks in it.Fill in each of the blanks with the word or words you have heard on the tape.Write your answer in the corresponding space in your ANSWER BOOKLET.Remember you will hear the passage ONLY ONCE.My topic for today’s lecture is communication, culture and work.When most people use the word culture, they think of people from different national backgrounds.National cultures certainly do exist and they play an important role in shaping the way people communicate, but there are other dimensions of culture too.Within a nation, regional differences can exert a powerful influence on communication.New Yorkers and Alaskans may find one another’s styles of behaving so different that they might as well be from different countries.Race and ethnicity can also shape behavior.So can age.The customs, values and attitudes of a twenty-year-old girl may vary radically from those of her parents who were raised in the 1960s or her grandparents who lived through the Great Depression and World War Ⅱ.Still, other differences can create distinctive cultures.Gender, sexual orientation, physical disabilities, religion and socio-economic background are just a few.All of these factors lead to a definition of culture as a set of values, beliefs, norms, customs, rules and codes that lead people to define themselves as a distinct group, giving them a sense of commonality.It’s important to realize that culture is learned, not innate.A Korean-born infant adopted soon after her birth by American parents and raised in the United States will think and act differently than his or her cousins who grew up in Seoul.An African American who grew up in the inner city will view the world differently than he or she would if raised in the suburbs or in a country like France where African heritage has different significance than it does in the United States.The norms and values we learn as part of our cultural conditioning shape the way we view the world and the way we interact with one another.In short, culture has such an overwhelming influence on communication that famous anthropologist Edward Hall once remarked, ‘culture is communication and communication is culture.’ 【解析】
作为中口笔试听力第一题Spot Dictation,考试选用了文化题材的内容,考生对此类型题材应该并不陌生,但若不集中注意力,也会比较难把握文章的层次。
全文围绕关键信息“other dimensions of culture”,字面意思是其他的文化维度,指的是除国籍外其他造成文化差异的因素。
文章首先给出纽约人和阿拉斯加人在交流过程中行事风格不同的例子,提出了地域性差异造成文化差异的概念。而后补充道不同人种和种族同样是形成文化交流差异的因素,紧接着文章便通过老中青三代人不同的思想意识观念的例子抛出了另外一个关键隐私——年龄。新东方口译:http://edu.21cn.com/kcnet440/
文章还提出了一个较传统观念所不同的观点,It’s important to realize that culture is learned, not innate,即文化差异并非与生俱来,而是通过后天环境的影响逐渐形成的。韩裔和非裔美国人的例子说明了这一点。
