参考答案

Part A

Passage 1:

很多人认为苏格兰是英格兰的一部分。但是，任何一个苏格兰人都会告诉你：并不是这样的。其实，在18世纪以前，苏格兰一直是一个独立的国家，有自己的国会。//

几百年来，英格兰人多次企图把苏格兰置于自己的统治之下。他们终于在1707年成功了。为此，一些苏格兰人永远不会原谅他们。//

苏格兰现在由伦敦统治，但是在某些方面，仍然是一个独立的国家。它有自己的首都（爱丁堡）、自己的法津、自己的邮票。它甚至还有自己的语言，不过只是几个小岛上的少数人使用。//

在某些方面，苏格兰南部同英格兰很相似，有肥沃的农田和绿色的小山丘。但在苏格兰的中部和北部，有高耸的大山，深邃的山谷，湍急的河流和冰冷的湖泊。//

Passage 2:

欢迎来到世界第一座国家公园，美国的黄石公园！在这个人间仙境里，大自然呈现着壮观的景色。大家看！温泉展现出蓝、黄、橙等艳丽的色彩。地球上再也找不到任何地方可与此地相媲美。//

科学家探险队在1870和1871年来到怀俄明州西北角的这块地方。目睹此地奇景的人意识到保护美景的必要。通过他们的努力，黄石国家公园终于于1872年诞生。//

温泉区是这个国家公园的特色。虽然新西兰和冰岛也有温泉，但是黄石公园的温泉数比全世界其他地区加起来的总数还要多。//

整个公园布满了200多个温泉及一万多个温泉景观。今天，所有这些都受到保护。公园不允许游客偏离步道或触摸温泉景观。//

Passage 1:

现在我们谈美国之行的最后一部分——住宿。在美旅游时，找个地方住并不难，难的是找一个称心如意、价格合适的住所。//

如乘飞机前往，你会在机场看到许多宾馆的广告。如坐火车或驾车，你最好查询电话本（黄页）中的旅馆、汽车旅馆和公寓房栏目。//

住所可分为宾馆、汽车旅馆和度假村。宾馆舒适但价格昂贵。汽车旅馆通常邻近公路。度假村则位于山间、海边或邻近湖泊。//

至于住在哪儿，你得从广告中所提供的价格和服务的比较着手。在这种情况下，你还得打电话询问他们是否有你需要的房间。//

Passage 2:

欢迎光临巴塞罗纳。想到西班牙，你的脑海中会浮现出什么呢？美食佳肴？了不起的艺术及建筑？精彩的夜生活？//

这一切都可以在巴塞罗纳找到——而且还不只如此！这座城市的建筑物及教堂将会最先吸引你的注意力。巴塞罗纳是“现代主义”建筑风格的领袖。//

100多年来，西班牙建筑师使用自然主题及形状设计建筑物。他们以野生动物、水果及花朵装饰建筑物门面。//

巴塞罗纳比世界上任何其他城市有更多这样的建筑物。想要体验“现代主义”建筑，就要到黄金广场，这个地区有此风格中最具代表性的建筑物。//

who observed the wonders of the area saw the need to protect them.Through their efforts,Yellowstone National Park was born in 1872.//

The park’s thermal areas make it unique.Hot springs are also found in New Zealand and Iceland.But Yellowstone has more hot springs than the rest of the earth combined.//

More than 200 hot springs and 10,000 other thermal features dot the park.Today,all are protected.The park does not allow visitors to wander off the walkways or touch the thermal features.//

第二套

Passage 1:

41．Seattle is famous for its damp weather and its own rainforest.Seattleites will say they like how rain keeps the city green,how clean the air tastes afterwards.//

The sunny,gorgeous weather and blue skies draw Seattleites from their cozy little homes,ready to dry out and have fun.People go hiking,biking,and canoeing.//

Folks work in their gardens,wash their cars and attend outdoor concerts in the park—all in the same day!//

People host barbecues and picnics and water-skiing parties.It’s sin around here to not thoroughly enjoy every moment of every golden day.//

Passage 2:

Have you ever been to the Grand Gorge in New Y ork State?Today I’d like to show you around there.It’s magnificent,with sheer sandstone rising 550 feet;three gushing falls,one over a hundred feet high;river rafting.//

Some 70 miles of hiking trails that can be used for skiing when blanketed with snow;and a forest that harbors nearly every species of eastern North American trees,several specied of wild orchids and a variety of birds.//

The place is the so-called “Canyons of the East”,a 17-mile gorge cut by the Genesee River on its way north to Lake Ontario.Although overshadowed by New York’s another wonder,Niagara Falls,60 miles to the northwest,the 14,350-acre preserve has noteworthy attractions.//

In addition to a series of three talls that stair-step downriver and provide much of the gorge’s usual drama,there are striking rock formations.//

参考答案

Part A

Passage 1:

西雅图以潮湿的气候及其雨林而闻名。西雅图人说他们喜欢雨水使城市常青，喜欢雨后清新的空气。//

睛朗、灿烂的天气和碧蓝的天空把西雅图人从舒适的小屋子里拽出来，准备晒太阳和玩乐。人们去远足、骑自行车、划独木舟。//

人们在园子里干活，洗车，参加公园里的露天音乐会——全在同一天里完成！//

人们举办户外烧烤、野餐、滑水聚会等活动。在这儿，不好好享受美好一天的每一时刻是一种罪过。//

Passage 2:

你到过纽约州大峡谷吗？今天我想请你到那里一游。它的确非常壮观，两岸耸立着550英尺高的砂岩峭壁；三个瀑布奔流直下，其中一个超过100英尺高；木筏在水上漂流；//

约70英里的步行小道，在被大雪覆盖时，又可供滑雪使用；还有一片森林，里面北美洲东部的所有树种在那里几乎应有尽有，还有若干种野兰花和各种各样的鸟。//

这里就是所谓“东部大峡谷”——杰纳西河在向北流入安大略湖的途中形成一条17英里长的峡谷的所在地。尽管其西北60英里处纽约州的另一个奇观——尼亚加拉瀑布使它相形见绌，但这个占地14，350英亩的自然保护区有它吸引游人之处。//

除了三个呈阶梯式分布的瀑布和峡谷所呈现出的丰富自然景观外，还有令人叹为观止的岩石构造。//

Passage 1:

女士们、先生们，请跟我看黄石公园最壮观的景色之一：黄石公园大峡谷。大峡谷长37公里，深366米。你可看到黄石河穿梭在色彩缤纷的峡谷中。//

在峡谷的北面和南面，可观赏到截然不同的景色。你可以拍摄黄石公园壮丽的“下瀑布”。如果做好了运动的准备，可沿着小道往下走到瀑布底端。然后往上观看看倾泻而下的流水。//

峡谷南端是黄石湖，乃全世界最大淡水湖之一。不要去游泳，水太冷了！但是可以由“钓鱼桥”搭船游湖。慢慢地走走看看。在温泉区悠闲散步；//

在溪河旁寻找野生动物的踪迹；在大树下野餐；听野生动物的怒吼声；感觉溅在脸上的水花。公园为大家的福利及乐趣而建。祝大家玩得开心。//

Passage 2:

35当初，中国人刚刚知道远隔太平洋的彼岸有一个国家叫美利坚时，就给她起了一个最好的中国式的名字——美国，意思是“美丽的国度”。//

这样一个好名字，会使一个不了解美国的中国人对她也自然地产生好感。//

中国人熟知乔治·华盛顿、托马斯·杰斐逊和亚伯拉罕·林肯，也熟知独立战争、南北战争、珍珠港事件和美国人在二战中的杰出贡献。//

然而，考虑到朝鲜战争、越南战争，1972年中美上海联合公报等历史事件，中国人对美国的看法比对任何一个西方国家都显得更为复杂和富有变化。//

Passage 1:

Ladies and gentlemen,please follow me to one of the most spectacular sights of Yellowstone Park:the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone.It’s 37km long and 366 meters deep.You’ll see Yellowstone River winding through the colorful canyou.//

Stop on both the south and north sides for different views.You may take pictures of Yellowstone’s magnificent Lower Falls.Or if you’re ready for some exercise,walk down the trail that leads to the bottom of the falls.Then look up at the plunging water.//

South of the canyou lies Y ellowstone Lake,one of the world’s largest freshwater lakes.Don’t plan on going for a dip—the water is too cold!But from Fishing Bridge you can take a boat excursion on the lake.Take your time exploring the park.Walk around the thermal areas.// Look for wildlife along rivers and streams.Have a picnic under a big tree.Listen to the wild roar and feel the spray on your face.The park was created for the benefit and enjoyment of all.Have a good time.//

Passage 2:

When the Chinese first came to know that there was a country on the other side of the Pacific Ocean called the United States of America,they named it “Mei Guo”in Chinese,which literally means “beautiful country”.//

A Chinese who happens to hear this name would have a positive image of America,even though he or she might have little knowledge of the country.//

Since then,Chinese have become familiar with George Washington,Thomas Jefferson,and Abraham Lincoln,and with the American Revolution,the Civil War,the Pearl Harbor Incident and the outstanding service and sacrifice of the American people during the Second World War.//

However,compared to other Western countries,Chinese images of the United States have shown greater complexity and inconsistency,in light of historical events such as the Korean War,the Vietnam War,and the Sino-US Shanghai Joint Communique in 1972.//

【DF】2011年3月上海中级口译真题及答案

沪江英语绿宝书之 2011年3月上海中级口译考试 听力原文及解析 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.?

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

中级口译笔试历年真题听力文字稿最完整版(97-08)

历年上海中级口译听力部分录音文稿（97.3 － 08.9） 97．3 SECTION 1：LISTENING TEST Part A: Spot Dictation 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 will 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 great 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 ―workhorse‖ for the rest of this century, and the building of such stations in orbit should become commonplace. Once these huge orbiting space stations are completed, they are likely to become the platforms from which hundreds of robot space ships could be launched cheaply and easily to explore the solar system and to start 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 that governments will be increasingly willing to start extensive programs of space engineering, exploration and research.

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

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.

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。

9月中级口译真题+参考答案(5)

9月中级口译真题+参考答案(5) 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. The culture of any society is usually thought to be of two kinds: material and nonmaterial. Material culture includes the man-made phenomena which have physical properties such as height, breadth, and weight. A boat, a machine, a house-all these objects are part of the material culture. The nonmaterial culture is that portion of the environment which surrounds man and which has an impact on his behavior but which lacks these material properties: values, beliefs, traditions, and all the other habits and ideas invented and acquired by man as a member of society. Contemporary sociological theory tends to assign primary importance to the nonmaterial culture in choosing problems for study. It assumes, for example, that boats, planes, automobiles, and so forth, are not nearly so important as the traditions we have developed which make their manufacture possible-indeed, which prescribe how we are to use them. The emphasis of contemporary sociology is to insist that the material culture would not exist had not the nonmaterial culture first been available to suggest the ideas which are embodied in the inventions of material culture.
