上外中级口译第三版听力教程原文及讲解--Unit 3

Unit 3. Part one. Crime and punishment.

2. Exercises. 1. Listen to someone talking about prison and then answer the following questions.

About 7 out of 10 people released from prison end up in prison again sooner or later. A lot of people think this simply indicates that once a person becomes a criminal he will probably remain a criminal. But of course it doesn’t necessarily mean that at al l. On the contrary it could equally suggest that being in prison actually makes people more likely to commit crimes. After all prisons are full of criminals, and this means that someone going to prison for the first time is going to meet a lot more crimina ls than he’s met before, so he will probably learn a lot about crime during his stay there. The fact that so many people get rearrested also suggests that prisons aren’t doing enough to train people for jobs they can do when they get out. If they were given this training ex-prisoners wouldn’t need to turn to crime again to make a living.

2. Listen again and then supply the missing information in the following passage.

Part 3. 2. Exercises.

1. The victim of a crime. Listen to the following conversation and then choose the correct answer to each question you hear.

W: Andr ew, I know you’ve been the victim of the crime.

M: Well, actually I was robbed several times. The worst time was when my apartment was burglarized. I got home, and saw the lock of my door had been broken, and the apartment was ran sect.

W: What was taken?

M: They took my camera, my stereo, my paper work, I lost irreplaceable personal items. W: Were you scared?

M: No, I was angry. And I felt helpless. Because I knew I could never find out what really happened. And I knew I would never get my stuff back. It’s like a feeling of violation when you know that someone has broken into your private space and taken your things. I called the police so that I could have a record of what was stolen for tax purposes. But they never caught the thief.

W: And that wasn’t the first time you are robbed?

M: No, I have had things taken by pick pockets. Once someone took my wallet on the subway. And there was a letter from my girl friend in that I’d like to carry arround with me. Not really important I suppose, but it had symbolic value. And when something like that happens you lose a part of your past. That time I felt angry at myself, because they always tell you not to put your wallet in your back pocket.

Questions:

1) What was Andrew’s worst experience of a crime?

2) Andrew mentions several things that had been stolen in that case. Which of the following is not one of these things?

3) How did Andrew feel after what it happened to him?

4) Why did Andrew report the theft to the police?

5) Which of the following statements is true about his having had things taken by pick pockets?

2. How to stay safe in the city? Listen to the following passage about how to prevent crimes and then choose the correct answer to each question you hear.

Yes. So we in the police force had to have a lot of problems which could easily be avoided by

taking a minimum of care and using a bit of common sense. The kind of things I am talking about are muggings, assaults, robberies, and in some cases rape. Now I know you are all young and you want to enjoy yourselves. That’s OK. I don’t want to spoil your fun. So I have tried to tell you how to avoid putting yourselves and your property at risk. For all the girls here if you are in a bar or disco that make very sure that your handbag or purse is where you can keep an eye on it, not on the floor or on another chair. If you want to dance, ask friend to take care of it or take it with you. For the gentlemen, don’t walk around with your wallet stuck in a back pocket of your trousers. It’s easy meet for a pick pocket, believe me. If you are driving, park in a public car park, or at least in a well lit area if it’s at night. Thieves love to find a car in a quiet dark road. As you are all foreigners here, don’t carry a lot of cash with you. And the same goes for passports, identity cards, and other important documents. For your own personal security, it is always better to go home by bus or taxi if it’s late. If you have to walk home late at nigh, go with some friends. If you are alone, stick to well lit areas. Should you see a group of people looking for trouble, cross over the road and if you really think someone is going to bother you, bang on the door of the nearest house and ask for help. Oh, another word of warning, don’t hitch lifts. It’s asking for tro uble. If a car stops to ask for information, just keep well clear of the door so you can see what the people want. This isn’t a dangerous town if you are sensible. To close, I just want to say that in this country it is illegal to carry a knife, spray, or anything that can be used as a weapon, even if it is for self-defense. Questions:

1) Who do you think is giving this talk?

2) What is his talk mainly about?

3) What kind of people is he talking to?

4) When you go home late at night which of the following things are you advised not to do?

5) Which of the following statements is true according to the talk?

6) Which of the following types of crime is not cautioned against in the talk?

3. You left an informal report. Listen to the following dialogue and then choose the correct answer to each question you hear.

M: You left an informal report with sergeant Dorgans. There is just a couple of things I’d like to check on. Could you describe the goal to me in a bit more detail please.

W: Yes, she was darkish. I should think she was between 25 and 30 round about. And she had shortish hair. I think she had a fringe but untidy.

M: Did you notice the clothing at all?

W: She had a white collar, open neck shirt, I think, over blouse or what look like a velvet jac ket. But I can’t remember the color. I think it was a green or a brown, but it was some dark color.

M: OK. Well, let’s go to the man of what you saw. If you could just describe it to me, because there wasn’t much on the report that you left with the serge ant.

W: Yes, well, I noticed he was wearing a funny kind of woolen jacket.

M: A balky sort of jacket, was it? Thick or …

W: Well, yes, not really very balky. It looked as if it was neated, and had a sort of woolen color. And I think he was wearing an open neck shirt too. He was younger than her. I should think he was in his early 20s.

M: And she looked older.

W: She looked a bit older to me. And he had his hair brush back.

M: Yes. Anything about the shirt that you noticed. Was it just a plain white shirt or was it any other sort?

W: I think it was striped, but I can’t be perfectly sure. But I do remember his hair was sort of wavy and brushed back in shortish.

M: OK. Well, that’s fine. Thanks very much. If you leave your phone number with the desk sergeant, maybe we will contact you in a near future.

Questions:

1) What are the two speakers doing?

2) Who does the woman speaker describe?

3) What’s the age of the woman being described?

4) What’s the age of the man being described?

5) What’s in commo n in the clothing of these 2 people being described?

1) I hope I can meet you sometime next week to discuss the further details of the contract. Would Monday morning suit you?

2) The fair to be held next month is focused on consumer electronics and digital entertainment. It is intended for the professionals and representatives of small and medium sized businesses.

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

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?

They have hardly changed their attitudes towards Chinese. At one time they proudly declared that they knew English only.

第一部分 1.Woman: This is my family. I'm married. My husband's name is Bill. We have two children — a boy and a girl. Our little girl is six years old, and our little boy is four.

He loves playing with them and taking them to the park or the zoo. 2.Man: This is a picture of me and my three sons. We're at a soccer game. Orlando is twelve, Louis is ten, and Carlos is nine. All three of them really like sports. Orlando and Louis play baseball. Carlos is into skating. 3.Man: This is my wife June, and these are my three children. Terri on the right is the oldest. She's in high school. She's very involved in music. She's in the orchestra. Rachel — she's the one in the middle — is twelve now. And this is my son Peter. He's one year older than Rachel. Rachel and Peter are both in junior high school. Time really flies. June and I have been married for twenty years now. 4.Woman: This is a picture of me with my three kids. The girls, Jill and Anne, are both in high school. This is Jill on the right. She'll graduate next year. Anne is two years younger. My son Dan is in college. It seems like the kids are never home. I see them for dinner and sometimes on Saturday mornings, but that's about it. They're really busy and have a lot of friends. 第二部分 John: It's super, Mary. It's just what I wanted. Mary: Well, I know you said your old calculator was no good any more. John: Well, it wasn't that it was no good. It just wouldn't do all the things I need to do at work. And it certainly wouldn't remember telephone numbers for me like this one. Mary: I suppose you're going to start putting in numbers straightaway. John: I've put in one while we've been chatting. I've put in our solicitor's number. You know how often I need to call him on company contracts. Mary: So what others are you going to put in?

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 【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
