第四章实考题分析

一、口语题目范文分析

Good Health

As a popular saying goes: “Health is better than wealth.” Good health enables one to enjoy his life and achieve what he hopes for in his career. On the other hand, poor health tends to deprive one of his interest in everything around him. Therefore, health is indispensable to one’s happy life. There are many ways, I think, which can help to build up one’s health. In the first place, those who always work from morning till night should find time to relax because too much stress can lead to poor performance and ill health. Secondly, if one wants to keep healthy, he must give up the habits that damage his health. Finally, regular exercises are essential for a healthy mind and body. To the

best of my knowledge, there is nothing more healthful than a brisk walk in the morning. Personally, I like running in the morning. And I have benefited a lot of from it. My health condition is getting better and better. So I will persist in doing so in the future.

这篇口语表述中运用到的技巧：

1、引用谚语

2、使用常用短语和句型

3、作比较

4、使用关联词

5、用明确的词表明自己的观点

6、用自己举例子

7、常用的序数词

小贴士：口语阐述时最好能加上自己的亲身经历

补充：文化差异方面的口译练习

Much business in the United States is conducted on the telephone. The average businessman spends much of his time on the telephone making business contacts.

在美国许多生意都是通过电话谈的。一般的生意人都花很多时间打电话，接洽生意。

However, it usually will not be convenient to make initial contracts between Chinese and U.S. businesses by telephone.

但是，中国公司和美国公司通过电话商讨初步协议通常很不方便。

There is no particular style to American negotiations. The way the negotiations are conducted will vary from one business to another and will depend upon the individuals involved.

与美国人谈判并无特别的样式。谈判的方式视业务不同而不同，取决于参与谈判的人员。

Although Americans have a reputation for making quick decisions, this is not always true when a corporation is involved in a major venture or a large project. Therefore, you should also be prepared for lengthy negotiations.

虽然美国人享有决策果断的声誉，但是，在公司着手进行主要或重大项目时，决策并非总是果断的。因此，你也要做好准备进行冗长的谈判。

补充有关餐桌礼仪的句子翻译

中国人吃饭用筷子，西方人则用餐刀、餐叉。有些人会用筷子，但大多数人则不行，所以在西方客人摆餐具时，筷子旁边再摆上刀叉是很明智的做法。

Chinese eat with chopsticks while most of the westerners eat with knives and forks. Some westerners may be quite good at using chopsticks, but most of them are not, therefore when setting a table at which westerners are entertained, it is always advisable to place knives and forks along side the chopsticks.

中国的宴席，把菜肴摆在餐桌中央。西方人则不习惯把手伸得老长，满桌子挥舞。然而，中国人的习惯就是各人从餐桌中央菜盘子里夹菜。所以，宴请外国客人时，这一点应该向他们讲明白。

At Chinese dinner parties, the dishes are usually placed in the middle of the table. Westerners are not used to reaching for something over the table. But in China, it is usual to help oneself to the food placed at the center of the table. So when we entertain foreign guests, we should explain

such table manners to them.

中国人请客，主人总是不断往客人的盘子里夹菜。这使外国客人觉得非常尴尬。即便是不喜欢的菜品，他也得吃下去，因为在西方，把食物剩在盘子里是极不礼貌的行为。

At a Chinese dinner, the host always puts more food on to the guest's plate. That often makes a foreign guest feel very awkward. He has to eat the food even if he doesn't feel like it, because it is considered bad manners in the west to leave one's food on the plate.

与此相反，一个中国人出席，比方说，一个美国人举行的宴会，他常常辞谢递给他的食物或饮料。虽然他其实还饿着或渴着。这在中国可能是礼貌之举。

On the contrary, a Chinese sits at, say, an American’s dinner party, he very often refuses the offer of food or drinks though in fact he is still hungry or thirsty. This might be good manners in China, but it is definitely not in the West.

五、中国国情的翻译内容补充

经过半个多世纪的艰苦努力，特别是二十多年的改革开放，中国已迈入全面建设小康社会的发展新阶段。

After over half a century of strenuous efforts, more than two decades of reform and opening-up in particular, China has now entered a new stage of development aimed at building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way.

但中国仍然是一个发展中国家，人口多、底子薄是中国的基本国情。中国实现自身发展的道路依然艰苦而漫长。

However, China is still a developing country, large population and inadequate economic development remain its basic national conditions. It has a long way to go before achieving its development goals.

中华人民共和国是全国人民共同缔造的统一的多民族国家。迄今为止，中国有56个民族。

The People’s Republic of China is a united multi-national state founded jointly by the people of all nationalities. So far, there are 56 nationalities.

与汉族相比，其他55个民族人口相对较少，因此他们在习惯上被称为“少数民族”。

Compared with the Han nationality, China’s other 55 ethnic groups have a relatively small population, thus they are customarily referred to as ethnic minorities.

1990年中国进行了第四次人口普查，据统计，在全国总人口中，汉族人口约占92%，少数民族人口占8%。

According to the fourth national census conducted in 1990, the Han nationality accounts for 92 percent of the country’s total population, and minority ethnic groups account for 8 percent.

在长期的历史发展过程中，中华民族这个大家庭中的各族人民经过融合和迁移，形成了今天的分布格局。

During China’s long history of development, the people of various nationalities in China migrated and mingled, which eventually brought about today’s distribution.

中级口译练习题

中级口译练习题 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.

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

中级口译第二部分口试-3

中级口译第二部分口试-3 (总分：20.00，做题时间：90分钟) 一、Part A(总题数：0，分数：0.00) 二、Passage 1(总题数：1，分数：5.00) 1. （分数：5.00） __________________________________________________________________________________________ 正确答案：(很多美国商人和他们的律师现在认识到，为了更有效地和他们的新贸易伙伴做生意，他们必须研究中国的法律、贸易惯例和文化。 美国人还可以与他们的中国贸易伙伴共享可能有助于建立两国间更好的贸易关系的某些经验和信息。 人们希望让中国学生更好地了解美国人对国际贸易与投资的看法，从而他们在与美国商人、律师和公司做生意时将更加胜任。 这种理解将为美国和中国带来更加和谐与有利可图的贸易关系。) 解析：[听力原文] Many American businessmen and their lawyers now understand that they must study the laws, trade practices, and culture of China in order to be more effective in doing business with their new trading partners. Americans also can share with their Chinese trading partners certain experience and information that may be helpful in creating better trade relations between our two countries. It is hoped that by providing Chinese students with a better understanding of American perspectives on international trade and investment, they will be better qualified to do business with American businessmen, attorneys and corporations.

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

历年上海英语中级口译翻译英译汉真题及答案

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?

翻译中级口译第二部分口试试题(二) 一、Interpret（本大题2小题．每题25.0分，共50.0分。 Interpret the following passage from English to Chinese. You will hear this signal to tell you when you start interpreting） 第1题 【正确答案】： 人脑平均有100亿个神经细胞，分为两个大致对称的半球，有时称右半球和左半球。 人脑的两半球虽然就其大小和形状而言比较相像，却各司其职。 大多数人的左半球主要负责语言，左半球的这种语言功能优势似乎在婴儿出生前便已存在。 另一方面，(人脑的)右半球掌管着视觉和空间技能，并负责对非语言的声音以及音乐旋律的感知。 [本题分数]： 25.0 分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] The human brain which contains an average of ten billion nerve cells, is divided into two roughly symmetrical hemispheres, sometimes called right and left brains. The two sides of the brain, while fairly comparable in size and form, appear to specialize in handling various tasks. In most individuals, the left hemisphere has primary responsibility for language and this left brain dominance in linguistic functions appears to exist prior to birth. The right hemisphere, on the other hand, controls visual and spatial skills as well as the perception of nonlinguistic sounds and musical melodies. 第2题 【正确答案】： 我将向你们展示一张印度尼西亚的美丽地图。你会从这张地图中看到印度尼西亚共和国是位于亚洲和澳洲大陆之间重要地理位置上的最大岛国。 因此，许多外国的投资者把他们的资金投在印度尼西亚，目的是为了建厂或和印度尼西亚建立合资企业。 此外，印度尼西亚有许多岛屿，大约13677个岛，五个主要的岛屿大约占陆地面积的92%。 这个区域行政划分为30个省，其中的两个是特区。印度尼西亚是世界上人口密度第四大的国家，有超过2.5亿的人口，年人口增长率为1.6%。

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

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。
