这个世界上牛人很多,但我坚信,根据正态分布原则,大多数人还是和我一样的。本着这一原则,我才敢在这里以过来人(而不是成功者)的身份发表一点感想。牛人们就没有必要看了,以免让你们见笑。考证的实质是确立一个目标,然后尽自己最大的努力去完成,做到价值实现,是一个磨砺心志、走向成功的过程。如果有人认为我写得太浅显、没用,看到这里就可以点击页面右上方的“×”了,不必为此拍砖。我不指望这篇文章万人分享,但也不想花一晚上时间整理出来的、旨在希望像我一样的非牛人都能取得令自己满意的成绩的东西得到的尽是些负面评价。文章是给非牛人写的,就好比在市场中,法拉利和奇瑞一样能生存,只是分别抓住了不同层次的市场。

一、简介

口试在每年5月和11月,分为口语与口译两部分。口语部分要求考生就指定话题作三分钟左右的命题发言,话题后面有三个提示问题,但不要求一定要按照问题阐述观点。考生拿到口语试题后有五分钟的准备时间。口译分英译汉和汉译英两部分,每部分均要求口译主题各不相同的两个段落。各两段,每段四断,每断两或三句。每断单独评分,2/3及以上翻译对即算对,翻译对11断及以上可以通过。

建议大家笔试结束后马上开始复习,不要等到笔试成绩公布,时间肯定来不及。考试委员会为了赚口试报名费,笔试一般都会让你过的。再者一鼓作气,再而衰,三而竭,第一次的通过概率其实最大。

口试全程共会接触到三个教室:备考区、侯考室和考场。备考区是大教室,供考生等待考试用;侯考区是中型教室,在这里考生将得到口语试题并准备5分钟;考场就是上课的教室或教师休息室。

(1) 备考区。因为口试分批进行,每批的考题是一样的。为防止作弊,从进入备考区直到参加完口试离开教学楼,考生不准使用任何通讯工具,否则将取消考试资格,这一点一定要切记。进入备考区出示必要的证件,然后带手机的同学会被要求将手机关闭并封存在一个信封内。然后考生会拿到一张“承诺书”,下半部分签个字裁下来,上半部分不要扔,留着记口语题目(这个后面要谈到)。考试的先后顺序根据口试号,分为多批同时进行。具体什么时候参加口试事先并不知道,所以建议带一些干粮,以免最后一批考在等待3个多小时后饥肠辘辘。但是少喝水,理由就不用我多说了吧。

(2) 侯考区。在备考区被考官叫到考号后会被带到侯考区。监考人员发下一张A4纸,上面有口语的题目和提示问题,有5分钟时间准备,可以使用字典和电子词典,但是不能和周围同学讨论(和外面同学讨论当然更不可以啦)。另外考卷不能带入考场,上面也不能作任何标记,所以你必须记住考题。不要记在口试证后面,据说有的考官看到会反感,写在“承诺书”后面好了。

(3) 正式考试。离开侯考区,考生按照顺序找到属于自己的考试教室。因为前一个人可能还在考试,所以你可能要在教室外等。开门进去,在你面前是两位考官和两台录音机,一台放口译试题,另一台录下你的口译。检查证件、发记录纸,然后开始录音,口试正式开始。在进行口语部分前要说“My name is…., my registration number is…”。接着就是口语和口译……

二、口语

口试重点考察口译,对口语的要求并不高。看了以上介绍不难发现,口语实际上就是写一篇命题小作文的开头和后面内容的提纲,在候考室准备时大致记住,这对中口笔试通过的人并不难,而且口译备考的同时也为口语提供了素材。个人认为不用单独准备口语,《口语教程》没时间就不要看了。

关于口语会让你讲几分钟的问题,我考的两次第一次说了30秒,第二次没算时间,但应该不超过一分钟,我也知道有同学说满了三分钟。但总体趋势是越来越短,一般来说你把第一个提示问题讲完,得出一个初步结论后就会被叫停。总之我们按三分钟时间准备,但考官打断你时也不要太意外,马上切换到口译状态。除非你讲得太结结巴巴,或是发音奇差,否则都会过的。

口语也不是一点不重要。口语好的同学会给考官一个好印象,在口译部分有优势。考官可能看你前面翻对了10个句子,最后一个句子翻得差强人意,他/她会在评分表上写:口语好,建议通过。(这个我不太清楚,出自《新东方内部——朱巧莲老师高口口试冲刺班完全笔记》)

三、口译

1.复习

建议大家看两本书,一本是《口译教程》,另一本是《新东方口试备考精要》。先自己认真练习一遍,我用的是电脑,具体流程:打开听力文件和“录音机”程序;播放一句听力文件同时做笔记,暂停;按录音键,口译,暂停;再放一句听力,如此循环;随时保存录音文件。教程中政治、经贸、外事接待、中国传统文化、旅游景点、环保等都是常考题,但是非重点也不能完全不看,我考的就是香槟那篇。

《新东方口试备考精要》这本书极其重要,“中级口译必背80篇”实际上就是20套模拟题,涵盖了口译几乎所有热点。我考的这次英译汉第一篇是香槟,教程上的,第二篇是西雅图的生活,就是《备考精要》试卷18英译汉的第一篇原题,汉译英也基本都能在“80篇”里找到。

至于如何用看个人情况。我听力还行,但是口语很差。口译考察原语听力、双语切换和目标语表达能力。英译汉这三个能力都还可以,汉译英的前两个能力可能还强些,但是最关键的目标语表达能力很差,即汉语意思不能用英语表达出来,至

少不能用完整、语法正确的英语句子表达。事实上口译的最终目的不是笔记,而是目标语的组织和表达。汉译英笔译做得还可以的原因就是笔译时是浏览原句后提取大意,绝不可能完全顺译,即一个单词一个单词地按顺序翻译;但口译时如果将零碎的笔记翻译成自己不熟悉的语言,就会不自觉地犯这样的错误。笔译和口译的本质是相同的,只不过前者是看、思、写,后者是听、思、说。背诵译文可以迅速提高口译水平,但是给的译文过于书面化,语法结构很复杂,

而你能讲出来的句子肯定是以简单句为主的,尤其是在那么紧张的环境下。所以我把所给译文改写成自己风格的英语,英译汉部分按汉语译文翻译,然后基本上背下来了,训练用自己的方式讲出完整的、语法正确的句子。然后再对照汉语和自己译文,体会翻译方法,划出重点单词、词组和句型,这些都要能脱口而出。

此外双语切换能力也很重要,建议大家这段时间应该多听中文,边听边想英文,头脑中过一遍。我始终觉得英译汉很容易,因为汉语是母语,只要英语听懂了怎么都能把意思表达出来,但是说英语就相对有点难度了。

口译错误有(1)主要意思翻译错误,(2)数字翻译严重失误,(3)严重语体或措辞错误,(4)大量随意加减,(5)影响理解的语法大错。大家对照这五点自己再补缺补差。

2.笔记

我在笔试心得中说过,只要字写得快点自己还能认得,短期记忆也不是过目就忘,就直接全部记下来好了。试想一下,强行学了符号,上考场一紧张你还能记得多少,听到单词第一反应不是记下来而是想该用哪个符号代替,听力稍瞬即逝,这种二次读取记忆往往很危险。中口口试的记忆量不是很大,不用笔记可以通过的大有人在。我一直是尽量记下所有内容,到现在都没有系统地学速记符号,所以不好说什么。关于影子训练法和速记符号的内容网上有很多,大家自己去查。

还有口试需要考生知识面广,有一定的背景知识,否则翻译起来会感到很困难。比如高口有次介绍AVON公司在中国的发展,很多男生没有翻出公司的名字,但大部分女生都能翻得出是雅芳公司。

四、临场注意事项

进考试教室后,记得向考官问好,离开时说再见,给考官留下好印象。

口译开始时说的“registration number”是你笔试的准考证号,挺长的,到时候又紧张,别说错了,事先练习一下。

口译时注意力高度集中,最好不要看考官。考官埋头在纸上打钩打叉,没空抬头跟你交流眼神,而且你抬头很容易看到他们给你的打分。所以强烈建议心理素质一般的同学讲完口语后再也不要抬头了,省得自己找别扭。

汉译英部分也不要管什么Chinese English,大概意思翻出来就可以了。同时尽量用简单句,英语句式基本上都可以归纳为主语+谓语(+宾语)+状语。英语重形合,多用动名词,少用不定式。不好翻译但不影响大意的就不翻,不强调主语或主语不好翻译的就翻成被动语态。俗语、谚语等不要被吓到,如果是英语,一定要结合上下文意思,千万不要翻译得太离谱,汉语则领会大意,用语法正确的英语句子把大致意思表达出来就可以了。注意推进、推动、增进、增强、加强这一类的动词。

口译时考官允许考生在自认为译法有误或不理想的情况下重新翻译,以更正后的版本为准。但是这里有两个问题:一是所谓“不理想”是译文有误还是觉得行文不够流畅,如果是前者,进行更正完全必要,这很可能是你从fail到pass的最后机会。如果是行文不够流畅,建议不必再补充了,因为你重复之后的版本不见得好到哪里去,而且给考官一个慌里慌张的坏印象。此外口译时间比较紧张,没有时间补充。

虽说A good beginning is half done,但对于口译考试来说A bad beginning is just a bad beginning。由于紧张或未进入状态,加之第一段是英译中很可能发挥不好。这时应该及时调整心态,不能因此而乱了阵脚,影响之后的口译。

最后希望大家能明白,想通过口试,技巧是次要的,关键在于平时刻苦的训练,特别是历年的考题。培养自己的心理素质,操练得多了,自己有信心了,口试自然也就不会太紧张了。

以下是刚考完口试时写的感想,全程记录了我口试的全过程,希望能给大家一些帮助。

今天起个大早。上外很远,过了火车站还要再坐4站。一路上看见很多志同道合的人,拿着蓝色的口译教程。该死的三号线,等那么长时间,开那么慢,站台还建那么高。下了车一帮人一路狂奔,还好及时赶到口译的终极战场——上外三号楼。交承诺书、手机装到信封里订起来。进入候考室,第一批已经走了,开始念第二批的号,我在祈祷“不要不要……”,结果确实没念到我,但下一批就到我了。匆匆看了两眼书,前面那个女生还说“早死早投胎”什么的,想想也是。不一会叫到我的号了,坐到第一排,走了个神,投胎的时间就到了。

进入备考室,发口语题,一看题目“My Favorite TV Program”,第一反应就是“Super Boys”(快乐男声)。我其实真对这个不感冒,但是我也没有什么特别喜欢的电视节目。快男毕竟是个很大众化的节目,有很多东西可以说的。

一个个被带到考场,我的考官是两个老男人。轮到我的时候磁带还出了点问题,两个人用上海话叽里瓦拉的说了一通,一句没听懂。我知道口语最多一分钟就会让你结束的,偏偏给的前两个提示问题又离题太远,第三个问题才是关键的。当我终于点出“快乐男声教会我们自信。当你站在舞台上,面对大量观众,确实需要勇气”时,得到示意结束。

第一题上来说“Passage one is about Champagne”,我就知道大事不妙了。这是教程上的课文不假,可我觉得不重要就没怎么看。一边想着“挂了挂了”,勉强翻完后,听见考官在那里叹气,我心说我也不想这样的。第二段是西雅图的生活,《新东方备考精要》中口必背80篇里的。出题的这帮人也太不负责任了,这不明摆着是抄袭嘛。要知道我最恨原题了,每次都不可能做得一模一样。不过毕竟是看过的,有点印象。翻完后有个考官说“是课文吧”,我勉强地笑笑。

英译汉结束后有个考官出去了,我想完蛋了,一定是我讲得太差,考官觉得反正我也过不了就不打分了。进入汉译英,两题分别是中国的发展和儿童问题。我真觉得我汉译英太浪费机会,这么常规的题目,口语正常的人都能过。我口语太差,这次主攻汉译英,总算能说出完整的句子,词组也能说准确,如family planning policy(计划生育政策),juvenile crime(青少年犯罪)等。

最后考官说:“你运气蛮好的,书看得蛮认真的”。我问他那能不能过,但又

想到这是口译的大忌,虽然现场评分占大半,但现场不能给成绩,两个考官要统一意见,磁带还要拿回去复审。考官没有回答,后面的人进来了。我隐约看后面是2/3还是1/3却没看清。见我的评分表上全是半对,巨寒……

很郁闷地出来,仔细揣摩考官最后两句话,什么意思,能不能过,这才想起口译评分标准是“2/3原则”,即2/3及以上翻译对即算对,翻译对11断及以上可以通过。我是没哪句一点不差地译出来的,但也没有哪句一点没译出来,都是马马虎虎。那么“运气好”是指我碰到原题还是说有11题或以上都是2/3呢,算了考都考完了,不想了。

12月14号查成绩知道自己过了。最后再教大家一点,即便你没能全部

听懂,也别“保持沉默”,通过联想、猜测等方式尽量讲点东西,说不定还能得一

点分数,千万不要把一整句都放弃了。

最后祝大家都能在口试中取得理想的成绩~

附:今年中口口译可能题目

The Theme of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Torch Relay

The theme of the relay is "Journey of Harmony".

The Slogan of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Torch Relay

The slogan of the relay is "Light the Passion Share the Dream". The slogan is highly expressive of the theme and distinctive in sentence structure. "Light the passion" captures the spirit of Olympic Torch Relay and is inspiring. "Share the Dream" falls within Olympic language terminology and

correlates with the staging concepts of the Beijing Olympic Games and its "One World One Dream" slogan. The slogan is simple, meaningful and easy to remember, read and share.

The Logo of the Beijing Olympic Torch Relay

The Logo of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Torch Relay owes much of its inspiration to the traditional concept of "fire phoenix", and presents the image of two runners holding the Olympic Flame high. As ancient Chinese legend has it, phoenix is the king of all birds, and symbolizes good fortune, eternity, nobility and happiness. The use of the phoenix image in the Torch Relay logo conveys the idea that the Torch Relay will send the best wishes from the Beijing Olympic Games to people all over China and the rest of the world.

The theme embodies the Olympic ideal of ’placing sport at the service of the harmonious development of man, with a view to promoting a

peaceful society concerned with the preservation of human

dignity’. ’Harmony’ boasts strong Chinese characteristics, and expresses the traditional Chinese philosophy in pursuit of a balance between man and nature, among people and between man’s body and soul. It also supports Chinese people’s wish of building a

harmonious society of enduring peace and common prosperity.

【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

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?

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
