上外中级口译第三版听力教程原文及讲解--ST 6

Sample test 6.

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 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.

The development of the space shuttle has dramatically reduced the cost of sending loads into space. The shuttle takes off from earth like a rocket and lands again like a huge aircraft. It can transport not only its own crew but also passengers and has a huge cargo hold which is capable of carrying large satellites or a space laboratory. Before the space shuttle was created, it was necessary to plan trips into space several years in advance. However, for the rest of the century, it should be possible to make space flights every week or so. Any scientist or engineer needing to travel into orbit was simply take the next shuttle flight, stay as long as necessary and then return at his or her convenience. It is difficult to imagine the immense opportunities created by the shuttle. One of the greatest advantages of having a reusable space vehicle is that it can take one load after another into orbit. Very large space stations could not be launched in their complete form directly from earth, but they could be built piece by piece in space. The space shuttle is likely to be used as a general work horse for the rest of the century, and the building of such stations in orbit should become common place. Once these huge orbiting space stations are completed, they are likely to become the platforms from which hundreds of robots space ships could be launched cheaply and easily to explore the solar system and to certain mining operations on the moon. The technology needed for this is already developed and available. And because of commercial and military pressures to develop space technology, it is likely the governments will be increasingly willing to start extensive programs of space engineering, exploration and research.

Part B. Listening comprehension.

1. Statements. Directions: In this part of the test you will hear several short statements. These statements will be spoken only once. And you will not find them written on the paper. So you must listen carefully. When you hear a statement read the answer choices and decide which one is closest in meaning to the statement you have heard. Then write the letter of the answer you have chosen in the corresponding space in your answer booklet. Now let’s begin with question number one.

1) After working at the same company for 45 years the chief accountant wasn’t too unhappy to be retiring in the coming August.

2) I can’t go to the concert tonight. You might ask Betty for a ride. And I think she is leaving around 7:30.

3) It’s stuffing here but I can’t open that window. I am afraid it’s the kind it doesn’t open. I need to go out for a while for fresh air.

4) This has been an unusually cool summer. I actually had to get out my wool sweaters in August, which I never did in the past.

5) I don’t really know what qualifications are needed for the job. But I think a degree in modern language or political science would be useful.

6) Business people spent a lot of time in meetings, and meetings come in all shapes and sizes, ranging from formal committee meetings to informal one on one meetings.

7) Crimes figures released today show that illegal drugs worth more than 500 million dollars

were seized by customs officers last year.

8) It was the worst earth quake that hit the country for over 2 decades. Thousands of residents have a second night camped out in parks and gardens.

9) Almost no one I’ve talked to disapprove of providing child care for working women, as this is becoming a popular idea these days.

10) If the local gove rnment make stricter laws factories won’t discharge waste products into rivers and lakes, the environment will certainly improve within a few years.

2. Talks and conversations. Directions: In this part of the test you will hear several short talks and conversations. After each of these you will hear a few questions. Listen carefully, because you will hear the talk or conversation and the questions only once. When you hear a question read the four answer choices and choose the best answer to that question. Then write the letter of the answer you have chosen in the corresponding space in your answer booklet.

Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following talk.

This is the final call for Olympic Airways to Athens flight number OA260. Any remaining passengers must go immediately to gate two while the flight now is closing. Olympic Airways flight number OA260 is closing now at gate two. Scandinavian Airlines to Stockholm flight number SK528 is now boarding at gate four. Passengers to New York British Airways regrets to advise a delay of 35 minutes on their flight number BA175 to New York.

Moving away from newsp apers. Let’s now focus on magazines. Now the first magazine was a little periodical called The Review. And it was started in London in 1704. It looked a lot like the newspapers of the time, but in terms of its content it was much different. Newspapers were concerned mainly with news events, but The Review focused on important domestic issues of the day as well as the policies of the government. Now in England at that time people could still be thrown in jail for publishing articles that were critical of the king. And that’s what happened to Daniel Defoe, he was the out-spoken founder of The Review. Defoe actually wrote the first issue of The Review from prison. You see, he had been arrested because of his writing set criticize the policies of the church of England, which was headed by the king. After his release Defoe continued to produce The Review, and the magazine started to appeal on a more frequent schedule about 3 times a week. It didn’t take long for other magazines to start popping up. In 1709 a magazine called The Tablet began publication. This new magazine contain a mixture of news, poetry, political analysis and philosophical essays.

Questions:

16) What is the main topic of the talk?

17) What is significant about the review?

18) According to the speaker how was the review different from early newspapers?

19) Why was Daniel Defoe arrested?

Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following conversation.

M: Now, could you tell me your name, please?

W: Yes, officer. It’s Daniels. Mrs. Jennifer Daniels.

M: And could I have your address too, please?

W: Yes, of course. It’s 27th Springfield Road Bristol.

M: So could you tell me please exactly what you saw the incident?

W: Yes, well, I was just coming out of the supermarket exit, when all of a sudden I heard this cry. And when I turned around to see what it was I saw this man sort of tugging at this woman’s handbag, and she was hitting him with her free hand. And then he pushed her and she fell to the ground. He then ran off on the street around the corner.

M: I see. And could you describe the man for me?

W: Well, mm, let me see. He was medium height, about 30. It all happen so quickly, it’s hard to remember.

M: Do please try. It could be very important in helping us to catch him.

W: Oh, yes, I do remember something else. He was wearing a yellow jacket. You know, like inner acts or thing, and jeans, blue jeans.

M: Did you notice the color of his hair by any chance?

W: Oh, dark, I should say. Yes, dar k brown. And that’s all about I can remember I am afraid. It was very wavy.

M: Thank you very much Mrs. Daniels. You’ve been very helpful. We will probably be in touch.

Questions:

21) Who was asking Mrs. Daniels most probably?

22) Where did the incident take place?

23) According to Mrs. Daniels about what age was the man involved?

24) What was the man wearing?

25) What color was the man’s hair as far as Mrs. Daniels could remember?

Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following talk.

There is a great deal of land in the United States, but there are also a great many people. Where did the people come from? The first Americans were Indians. Today there are about 900,000 American Indians. There is one part of the country with a specially large Indian population. That is the southwest. Blacks first came to America from Africa as slaves. President Lincoln freed the slaves in 1863. About 11 percent of the present American population are blacks. The first immigrants in American history came from England and the Netherlands. Soon immigrants began to arrive from many other countries. And they are still arriving. In 1790, the new nation had fewer than 4 million. Today there are more than 210,000,000. These include people from all parts of the world.

Questions:

26) What might be the best title for this passage?

27) How much is the American Indian population?

28) Who were the first people living in America?

29) What is the current size of the American population?

30) According to the passage which of the following statements is true?

Part C. Listening and translation.

1. Sentence translation. Directions: Listen and translate each sentence you have heard into Chinese. Then write it in the space given below.

1) Watching TV was a leisure activity that occupy the most time, 2.6 hours per day, accounting for about half of the leisure time on average for both men and women.

2) Researchers in the US and Japan have concluded that diet rich in fruit and vegetable juice may substantially lower the risk of certain diseases.

2. Passage translation. Directions: Listen and translate each passage you have heard into Chinese. Then write it in the space given below. You may take notes while you are listening.

1) Recently I’ve been doing a lot more shopping on the internet because a lot of the retailers have websites and it’s cheaper sometimes to go right to their websites and get exactly what you want. Sometimes it’s 50 percent less than what you would pay if you were at a regular store. So there is no point in going to the mall when you can just do it at home. And it’s fast too. You can get things sent to you almost right away. I love shopping on the internet.

2) I am definitely not an internet shopper. I am not a catalogue shopper either. I like going into a store and physically seeing something. If I am going to wear it, I like trying it on. I even like trying things on that I am not going to get. I like window shopping. I really like the experiences of shopping. I really like going into the department store, especially when it’s not crowded. I also like discount stores to look for bargains.

中级口译真题+参考答案

9月中级口译真题+参考答案(4) Questions 16-20 We are moving inexorably into the age of automation. Our aim is not to devise a mechanism which can perform a thousand different actions of any individual man but, on the contrary, one which could by a single action replace a thousand men. Industrial automation has moved along three lines. First there is the conveyor belt system of continuous production whereby separate operations are linked into a single sequence. The goods produced by this well-established method are untouched by the worker, and the machine replaces both unskilled and semiskilled. Secondly, there is automation with feedback control of the quality of the product: here mechanisms are built into the system which can compare the output with a norm, that is, the actual product with what it is supposed to be, and then correct any shortcomings. The entire cycle of operations dispenses with human control except in so far as monitors are concerned. One or two examples of this type of automation will illustrate its immense possibilities. There is a factory in the U.S.A. which makes 1,000 million electric light bulbs a year, and the factory employs three hundred people. If the preautomation techniques were to be employed, the labour force required would leap to 25,000. A motor manufacturing company with 45,000 spare parts regulates their entire supply entirely by computer. Computers can be entrusted with most of the supervision of industrial installations, such as chemical plants or oil refineries. Thirdly, there is computer automation, for banks, accounting departments, insurance companies and the like. Here the essential features are the recording, storing, sorting and retrieval of information. The principal merit of modern computing machines is the achievement of their

ji2009.3 钟表上的秒针一下一下地移动，每移动一下就是表示我们的寿命已经缩短了一部分。再看看墙上挂着的可以一张张撕下的日历，每天撕下一张就是表示我们的寿命又缩短了一天。因为时间即生命。 没有人不爱惜他的生命，但很少人珍视他的时间。如果想在有生之年做一点什么事，学一点什么学问，充实自己，帮助别人，使生命成为有意义，不虚此生。那么就不可浪费光阴。这个道理人人都懂，可是很少人能积极不懈地善为利用他的时间。 2008.9 据消息灵通人士透露，今年春节前，家乐福才与新大新发生第一次“亲密接触”。其中广州市政府无疑起到了“红娘“的作用。短短几个月时间，双方”情投意合“。外界关心的是：家乐福到底看中新大新什么地方？ 对此，新大新总经理何先生没有作出正面回答，只是笼统地陈述在广州的百货业中新大新有自己独特的一面。据何先生透露，这次新大新出资持有新组建的公司35%的股份，家乐福占65%：”这是按照国家有关政府政策，即中方持股不得少于35%的规定的“。 2008.3 我国首次月球探测工程的成功，实现了中华民族的千年奔月

梦想，开启了中国人走向深空探索宇宙奥秘的时代，标志着我国已经进入世界具有深空探测能力的国家行列。这是我国推行自主创新，建设创新型国家取得的又一标志性成果，是中华民族在攀登世界科技高峰征程上实现的又一历史性跨越，是中华民族为和平开发利用外层空间作出的又一重大贡献。全体儿女都为我们伟大祖国取得的这一辉煌成就感到骄傲和自豪！ 2007.9 中国坚定不移地走和平发展道路，是基于中国国情的必然选择。1840年鸦片战争以后的100多年时间里，中国受尽列强的欺辱。消除战争，实现和平，建设独立富强，民生幸福的国家，是近代以来中国人民孜孜以求的奋斗目标。今天的中国虽然取得了巨大的发展成就，但人口多，底子薄，发展不平衡，任然是世界上最大的发展中国家。推动经济社会发展，不断改善人民生活始终是中国的中心任务。中国人民最需要，最珍爱和平的国际环境，愿尽自己所能，为推动各国发展作出积极贡献。 2007.3 中国赢得2010年世界博览会的举办权，靠的是国际社会对中国改革开放的支持和信心。这次博览会将是自1851年在英国伦敦第一次举办以来，首次在发展中国家举办的世界博览会，它表达了全世界人民对中国未来发展的期望。

历年上海英语中级口译翻译英译汉真题及答案 原文： 出自Newsweek Why We Must Fire Bad Teachers The relative decline of American education at the elementary- and high-school levels has long been a national embarrassment as well as a threat to the nation’s future. Once upon a time, American students tested better than any other students in the world. Now, ranked against European schoolchildren, America does about as well as Lithuania, behind at least 10 other nations. For much of this time—roughly the last half century—professional educators believed that if they could only find the right pedagogy, the right method of instruction, all would be well. They tried New Math, open classrooms, Whole Language—but nothing seemed to achieve significant or lasting improvements. Yet in recent years researchers have discovered something that may seem obvious, but for many reasons was overlooked or denied. What really makes a difference, what matters more than the class size or the textbook, the teaching method or the technology, or even the curriculum, is the quality of the teacher. Much of the ability to teach is innate—an ability to inspire young minds as well as control unruly classrooms that some people instinctively possess (and some people definitely do not). Teaching can be taught, to some degree, but not the way many graduate schools of education do it, with a lot of insipid or marginally relevant theorizing and pedagogy. In any case the research shows that within about five years, you can generally tell who is a good teacher and who is not. 我们为什么必须叫停“不称职”的老师?

China’s rise has fully awakened their awareness of the fact that their kids can benefit from their bilingual ability which can not only enhance their competitiveness in the job market, but also facilitate their exposure to and familiarity with the two different cultures between the East and the West. They have hardly changed their attitudes towards Chinese. At one time they proudly declared that they knew English only.

中级口译历年真题--翻译篇

中级口译历年真题--翻译篇 2012年春季（3月） 英译汉原文： When I was young, there was an amazing publication called The Whole Earth Catalog, which was one of the bibles of my generation. It was created by a fellow named Stewart Brand not far from here in Menlo Park, and he brought it to life with his poetic touch. This was in the late 1960′s, before personal computers and desktop publishing, so it was all made with typewriters, scissors, and Polaroid cameras. It was sort of like Google in paperback form, 35 years before Google came along: it was idealistic, and overflowing with neat tools and great notions. Stewart and his team put out several issues of The Whole Earth Catalog, and then when it had run its course, they put out a final issue. It was the mid-1970s, and I was your age. On the back cover of their final issue was a photograph of an early morning country road, the kind you might find yourself hitchhiking on if you were so adventurous. Beneath it we re the words: “Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.” It was their farewell message as they signed off. Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish. And I have always wished that for myself. And now, as you graduate to begin anew, I wish that for you. 英译汉参考译文： 我年轻的时候，有本非常好的杂志《全球目录》，这是我们那代人的“圣经”之一。杂志的创办人是斯图尔特·布兰德，创办地是在离这里不远的门罗公园，他赋予了这本杂志诗一样的美感。六十年代后期，个人电脑和桌面排版尚未出现，所以这本杂志完全利用打字机、剪刀、偏光镜来完成，有点像平装本的谷歌，却出现在谷歌问世三十五年前。这本杂志充满了理想色彩，充满了整齐利落的工具、不同寻常的见解。 斯图尔特和他的团队出版了几期《全球目录》，在它完成使命后，他们出版了最后一期杂志。那是在七十年代中期，那时我和你们的年龄相仿。杂志最后一期的封底上是张清晨的乡村公路的照片，那样的路，如果你有些冒险精神，可能会一路搭车走过。照片下面有两句话：“求知若饥，虚怀若愚”，这是他们停刊的告别语，“求知若饥，虚怀若愚”，我总是以此鼓励自己。现在，当你们即将毕业踏上新的旅程，我给予你们同样的期望。 翻译评析： 这篇短文取自于乔布斯在斯坦福大学毕业典礼上的演讲。语言比较口语化，词汇不难。因为是演讲类短文，所以考生在翻译的时候大可以顺序驱动。节选的这个短文有几处的词汇和短语大家可以注意下： poetic：充满诗情画意的 idealistic: 理想主义的 run his course: 完成使命 hitchhiking: 搭乘 sign off: 停止签发，停止 汉译英： 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

2013年3月上海中级口译考试翻译真题及答案解析汇总

2013年3月上海中级口译考试翻译真题及答案解析汇总 【原文】 朝气蓬勃，充满活力，丰富多彩的上海是现代中国的缩影。虽然上海的文化遗迹不能与北京媲美，但是上海迷人的城市风貌，风格各异的万国建筑为这座城市注入了无限的魅力。今日之上海，已经成为享誉中外的国际大都市。 漫步在这座日新月异的现代大都市里，你会发现许多精彩的历史亮点，隐现在众多摩天大楼背后的是上海发展变化的轨迹。它们记述了上海自十九世纪末开埠以来，尤其是新中国成立以后，是如何迅猛发展的。 【参考译文】 Shanghai is a dynamic, diverse and stimulating city - the very epitome of modern China. Though Shanghai cannot rival Beijing in cultural heritage, its varied architectural styles and cosmopolitan feel give it a charm of its own. Today's Shanghai has become a world-famous international metropolis. A walk through this booming city reveals many glimpses of its colorful past. Hidden amongst the skyscrapers are remains of the original Shanghai. They keep on showing how Shanghai has been developing fast and enormously since its opening as a commercial port in the late 19th century, especially after the founding of new China. 【评析】 该篇翻译属于经典话题，类似于上海城市介绍，考生如果熟悉教材，注意积累相关句型词汇，特别是对“朝气蓬勃、充满活力dynamic, diverse and stimulating、缩影epitome、遗迹heritage、城市风貌cosmopolitan feel、万国建筑varied architectural styles”等常考的表达，应该可以顺利取得高分。 If you’ve ever been on a jury, you might have noticed that a funny thing happens the minute you get behind closed doors. Everybody starts talking about themselves. They say what they would have done if they had been the plaintiff or the defendant. Being on a jury reminds me why I can’t tolerate talk radio. We Americans seem to have lost the ability to talk about anything but our own experiences. We can’t seem to generalize without stereotyping or to consider evidence that goes against our own experience. I heard a doctor on a radio show talking about a study that found that exercise reduces the incidence of Alzheimer’s. And caller after caller couldn’t wait to make essentially the opposite point: “Well, my grandmother never exercised and she lived to 95.”We are in an age summed up by the saying: “I experience, therefore I’m right.”Historically, the hallmarks of an uneducated person were the lack of ability to think critically, to use deductive reasoning to distinguish the personal from the universal. Now that seems an apt description of many Americans. 【参考译文】 如果你曾经当过陪审员，你可能会注意到一件有趣的事情：一旦关上了门，所有人就开始谈论他们自己。他们会讨论，如果自己是原告或被告的话会做什么。担任陪审员的经历让我明白了我为什么无法忍受谈话性的广播节目。我们美国人似乎只剩下了谈论自己经历的能力。我们似乎无法抛开固有的成见进行总结，也无法客观地分析与自身经历相悖的证据。 我曾听过一位医生在之声节目上讲述一项研究，该研究发现锻炼能降低阿兹海默症（老

纵观本次3.19中级口译考试听力部分，难度基本与05年9月持平，低于最难的05年3月试题。文章体裁虽呈多元化趋势，但即使略 有难度的金融类（如ATM取款机）、商务类（如工作午餐）、教育类（如继续教育）却都与生活息息相关，广大考生也可得心应手。 Spot-dictation几乎没有超出六级范围的词汇，因此对大多数考 生来说生词不是难点，相反一些其它的因素制约了我们得到满分的几率。比如由于在考场的紧张情绪而没有能够按照预定的计划在听写之 前进行抢读，导致不能进行有效预测，部分空格多填或少填单词而造 成失分。 针对Statement部分，相对以往，原句长度略微有所增加，但并 没有如托福考试那样出现中国考生不熟悉的本土化词组搭配；同时转 折题型多次出现，对于这样的考点，我们在培训过程中已有应对准备，考生通过反复操练已经形成了对“but”的条件反射；另外，因果题、 观点题也有明显引导词，只要听时注意句子的重心所在，题目也就能 迎刃而解。此外，本次考试第三题后半句“There goes my social life”也是此次听力照搬《中级听力教程（第二版）》（P.404，sample test 5， statement第二句）原文的情况了，如此一来，原先，面对与教材多处雷同的听力考试，很多同学会走只不听听力、只看 tape script的捷径，现今，这样的窍门已经不再适用，当下中级口译听力明显关注实际听力能力的考察，因此通过课堂上的大量练习、提 高实力还是重中之重。 对于Talks & Conversations的解题，并不存在有意设置的难点。细节题相当平实，有些与托福相似，可以利用特定场景的特定思路来

After you heard each paragraph, interpret it into Chinese. Start interpreting at the signal…and stop it at the signal…You may take notes while you are listening. Remember you will hear the passages ONLY ONCE. Now let’s begin Part A with the first passage. Passage 1 As for us Americans, you may think that we give too much importance to individualism and personal gains, so much so that it might sacrifice collective benefits, and even bring harm to the harmony of the society.// Yes, but you don’t have to be worried. American work ethic is more individual-oriented. We often value the results and accomplishments of work more than its process.// If I am not mistaken, the traditional Chinese work ethic is based on Confucianism, which stresses the benefit of communal harmony rather than individual freedom.// It’s really very hard to say which is better because if the cultural differences. With the economic globalization, cultural exchanges have become more and more extensive and Americans and Chinese will know and understand each other better. 至于我们美国人，你们会感到我们太看重个人主义，太看重个人利益，这样可能会牺牲集体的利益，甚至会损害社会的和谐。// 是的，但你们不必担忧。我们美国人的工作理念更强调个人主义。我们一般重视的是结果和成就，而不是过程。// 如果我没理解错的话，中国传统的够工作理念是以儒家学说为基础的，这种思想强调整体和谐高于个体自由。// 由于文化差异的存在，真的很难说哪种理念更好。随着经济全球化，文化交流也随之变得越来越广泛，美国人民和中国人民将会更加互相了解和理解。
