中级口译口试考试流程详解
中级口译口试考试流程详解

一、口译口试考试流程:

1. 必要的三证:准考证、口试证、身份证。

2. 按口试证上的时间地点报到、候考。

我的口试证上写的是上午7:30,上海外国语大学"三号楼一楼"。早上7:25我到了该楼,楼口处有许多等着进场的学生,一位老师发套伞的塑料袋(当天早晨下大雨),另有几位老师进行第一道检查(检查三证)。

通过检查后进入候考教室。教室门口有位老师负责将考生的手机(关机状态)封进信纸袋。随后等待老师叫号、分组。因为叫号是随机的,所以要集中精神听老师叫号,错过了就只能轮到下一批甚至最后一批。叫到号后老师会告诉你一个组号,即为你的组号。随后按次坐在教室第一排,进行第二次三证检查。

检查完毕后就被带入走廊尽头的另一个教室,再次核对三证后发口语Topic的卷子。阅读并准备5分钟后收卷。该卷上不能作任何记录,因为要循环利用。如要写提纲可以写在自己的纸上或口试证的背面。但考试时不能看。

收卷后沿着走廊按组号分散坐在各个教室或办公室门口的位子上,等待正式考试。

3. 进入考试教室后,面前有一张A4大小草稿纸和两台录音机,一台播放录音,一台录音你的口译。两台录音机后坐着两位老师。

检查口试证和准考证后开始录音,先要用英语说"My name is..."和"My registration number is..."。然后开始讲Topic,讲到等老师喊停后停(一般不会说满5分钟),开始口译部分。

4. 口译部先后为两段英译中和两段中译英。每段又分为两小组句子(中口句子较短,高口的句子比较长),组间停顿时间为中口约25-35秒,高口45-50秒。

口译结束后,收拾东西离开,但是草稿纸不得带出考场。

二、一点点心得:

1. 摸清"地形"很重要。

就我所知,口试在候考和考场就是上外的"逸夫会堂"和"三号楼"。如果不熟悉上外(本部)的校园建议早些出门或提早"踩点",考试当天就不用浪费很多时间找楼了。要知道口试证上写明"迟到者不得参加考试"的。

2. 吃饱但不要喝足

因为候考时间很难把握,所以为了保证有充分的体力撑到考试的那刻,早饭要吃饱,还

可以带点巧克力这种高热量的食品做能量补充。如果是下午考,则不宜吃太饱(容易犯困)或可以提早些吃午饭。进入候考教室后就是一轮一轮的叫号,这时不宜走开,所以不宜喝太多水。

3. 战胜紧张就赢了一半。

不紧张是不可能的,但是要想办法让自己尽可能的放松,这样才不会影响发挥。我在候考时与身边的一位同学交谈了一会儿,就感觉轻松了很多。而且候考处的老师和判分的老师都很和蔼,一点也不用"畏

惧"。紧张很可能导致舌头打结或是漏听许多信息,或"聋"或"哑"还怎么做口译呢?所以克服了紧张的情绪这场仗就赢了一半啦。

4. A bad beginning is just a bad beginning.

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。所以考试中的不断调整也是相当考验心理素质的,相信这也是作为口译员最基本的能力吧。

5. 做笔记不能走火入魔。

许多参加过口试的同学都说考试时笔记写不全,而且最后潦草得自己都不明白是什么意思了。我认为这是个误区,个人认为记是重要的,但是听比记更重要。听时理解句子的意思和句子间的逻辑关系就能把握准意思主干,加上适当的笔记作为提示,这样才能译得完整。一味地追求完整笔记,记的时候忽略了理解反而会捡了芝麻丢了西瓜。

三、考试必备物品

考试必备的文具包括蓝黑色水笔、圆珠笔,答题用;橡皮(不能用修正液和修正带);收音机(收听听力考试的音频,上海考区收听东方都市广播FM89.9、AM792播音;外省市考点按考点规定的频率收听广播。准考证背后也会写明收听频率,考场上老师同样会说明。听力内容是公放的考区另当别论。);准考证和身份证不要忘带。另外,要随时掌握时间的同学请准备手表,因为考场上不能看手机。

另外,不要带可以收听广播的MP3——考试规定不得携带各种电子存储记忆录放设备进入考场,所以MP3是不能用的,手机就更加不行。同学们请准备好收音机,或者大四大六考试用的那种可以收听广播的大耳机——普通收音机就好,领到准考证后可以自己根据准考证背面写的收听频道调试一下自己的收音机。不要等到考试当天再去考场外面买,到时候不一定有得卖的。至于耳机,大家可以随意选用自己觉得用着舒服的耳机,大小不限。但是为了携带方便,还是不要选那种太大的吧……记得多准备一些备用电池!

考试中不能用自带的草稿纸,高口NTGF部分会发一张专门用来做笔记的白纸;其他题目大家尽可以在试卷上做笔记、写写画画什么的。

考试答题卡是直接填写的,不需要用2B铅笔涂。但是还是建议大家带铅笔,因为在听译部分做笔记的话,用铅笔记录是速度最快也最方便的,这个也是口译老师强调过的——专业口译员做笔记的时候就是用铅笔。注意是铅笔不是自动铅笔,自动铅笔容易断。

四、备考时间安排

从3月至四级考试,可以分为四个阶段:

第一阶段:基础备考阶段,自2011年6月至2011年7月共计30天

第二阶段:高分突破阶段,自2011年8月至2011年8月20日共计20天

第三阶段:考试冲刺阶段,自2011年8月21日至2011年9月10日共计20天

第四阶段:模拟实战阶段,自2011年9月11日至2011年9月18日考试考生每天要保证至少3个小时的有效复习时间,每天记生词,复习生词,量不用多,贵在有效。

五、复习目标

1、基础备考阶段目标:这个阶段是基础备考阶段,考生要熟悉考试题型,着重掌握各个题型的基本知识考点,夯实基础。这个阶段非常关键,很多考试基于对中高级口译考试的认识不足而忽略对基础知识的学习,提前熟悉考试题型和流程,在准备的过程中做到心中有谱。再来,词汇是基础的基础,必须每天坚持背诵。在这一阶段,建议大家以中高级口译考试教程为主,重点提高听力、阅读和翻译这三个方面的水平。同时可以写一两套真题,明白真题的难易程度。

2、高分突破阶段目标:通过基础阶段的学习,很多考生可能感觉自己做题的准确率有了很大的提高,但是做题速度依然匍匐前进。在高分突破阶段,考生要根据自己基础学习过程中的实际情况,缩小复习范围,把时间和精力主要放在对考试重点和难点的复习上,我们建议大家在这个阶段通过做部分模拟题和部分历年真题,及时检验自己复习效果,巩固提高。

3、冲刺阶段目标:由于考生对各个模块的各种题型的答题技巧都有了熟练的掌握,但是口译考试是由模块组合的一个整体,在这个阶段,考生应注重从整体上把握考试,由原来的专项练习转化为整体的突破。我们建议大家在这一阶段的真题练习时,为自己把关好考试时间,严格按照口译考试流程来做题,通过真题练习考生可以积累临场经验,感受考试气氛,掌握做题节奏,提高应试能力。这一阶段核心在于整体真题练习,重点要查漏补缺。

在这个阶段考生还要抽出时间看一些经济学人上的文章,因为,有些阅读文章就是来自于这个周刊上的。

4、模拟实战阶段:在最后的模拟实战阶段,建议考生每天一套模拟试题,保持做题的感觉,同时把自己在前几个阶段做题中的做的笔记(单词、句子及碰到的问题等等)拿出来复习,总结问题,重点强化,熟悉做题顺序,考前两天可以用2009年和2010

年的真题进行最后模拟测试,看看自己的水平。最后保持良好的心态并调整好自己的作息时间,以最好的状态迎接考试。切忌依赖裸考、答案等心理。

实战训练

口试的准备

其实很多学友最头疼的不是笔试,而是口试,我也一样,因为这击中了大多数中国学生最薄弱的地方,听,说,记忆。口试难就难在还的记下来,不能听懂了大意就可以过关了,必须要复述,所以还的学速记方法,一心二用。

我个人的感觉,听力是基础,听力不过关,再练速记也是白搭,只有在听力过关的基础上你才能分心来记笔记,6分脑记,4分笔记,否则写出来的一定是一片自己看不懂的碎片。

我的方法:一本口译教材,练三遍。

很多人说:只有两个月的时间,哪有时间练,关键是,一考完笔试,立刻开始准备,两个月的时间够了。我上班都可以,你在学校时间应该不会比我少吧?把教材的MP3下下来,用一个软件MP3 directcut,很小免费的,网上随便下,把教材的课文,分割成一个一个的独立MP3文件,你会发现,基本上一段可以分一个,时长一分钟左右,而考试的每一段录音是40秒左右,语速稍微比教材的快),长的段落就分两段,这样一篇课文可以分10多个小段出来,然后干什么?模仿考试练吧,放一段,练一段,限定翻译时间40秒,一开始不达标很正常,哪怕你看了内容再听,你也要学着边听边记关键词,放完后看着笔记,翻出来。哪里没记住,再练,直到这一段能做到看着笔记完全翻出来为止。

这样练很累,很折磨人,但是,没有付出,哪有回报,现在不痛苦,将来哪里有快乐,坚持就是胜利。

对于中翻英,我的建议,先看着课文,边看边口译,首先要做到你看到句子和段落就能立刻口译出来的水平(考试的试题所能出现的句型和结构都在课文里了,所以你要做的就是练习),这一阶段我把全书练了三遍,然后再练听录音记文字再翻译,中文笔记相对好记的多,但注意考试的语速比教材录音要快,所以不可轻敌,要能做到听录音,看笔记,立刻翻译,时间适当放宽,45至50秒。

说一句,所有的练习不许用耳机,只许用电脑音箱。盒式录音机最好,因为考试用的就

是它。

关于笔记符号

其实大多数辅导班里介绍的都大同小异,选自己最常用的,练习的时候坚持使用,一定会有不错的效果的,我也没有特别的秘方,积累吧,自己记笔记时用的最多的词,就想个符号或字母来代替,然后固定下来练,一定能加快你的笔记速度。

关于口试的注意事项

起码,你要知道考试的方式和细节,侯考的时候,可以带MP3和耳机,放几套真题,热热身,当然这几套真题你已经练的烂熟,不要带没做过,自己听不懂的真题,不然自己给自己增加压力,口试前,一般会在教室门口先等,里面的人还在考,你可以试试把耳朵贴在门上(如果不被制止的话),你耳朵尖的话说不定能听到里面的考生之言片语,你大概就知道听力的话题是什么了,这样做有点作弊的感觉,但却是容许的,如果你运气好,知道了大概是什么话题,听懂并记下来的概率会大大提高(我运气不好,没听到)

进去后,不要乱说话,说声good morning, teacher就可以了,老师让你干什么你就干什么,考的时候不要去看考官面前的打分本,看都不要看。考试时,流利很重要,没有记下来的,记得一部分的,尽量编出来,中译英时,不可能所有的点都翻译到,漏掉一些次要的点是难免的,但你不能时断时续,记住,流利是非常重要的,如果你在过于不过之间,决定你命运的就是你的流利程度,和考试时的气势。

考完,考官录音停止了,说声thank you,就走人,其他什么都不要说。

顺便说一句,最早进去的考生多少有点吃亏,因为开始的时候考官的状态最好。

当这一切都做完之后,就等待成绩的公布吧,相信我,只要付出,就一定有收获。

【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.?

口译考试准备

上海中级口译考试怎样准备? 中口考试分为两阶段。第一阶段笔试,一般在每年3月和9月中旬周日下午,时间150分钟,总分250分。共分四部分: 第一部分听力90分,分为三部分,均为30分。Part A是复合式听写,20个空,跟四六级考试有点类似,但区别在于全文只能听一遍,每个空要填2-4个单词,语速大约130词/分。Part B是听力理解,包括单句理解,长对话和短文。单句理解就是从四个选项中找出和所听到的句子意思最接近的一个,长对话和短文与四六级差不多。Part C是听译,分为单句听译和篇章听译,都是英译汉,即听力放英语句子和文章,然后留出一段时间,考生写出汉语翻译。 第二部分阅读60分,六篇文章,每篇文章后5个选择题。 第三部分英译汉50分,第四部分汉译英50分,要求考生不借助任何词典、参考资料和其它媒介,将一篇长度为180个单词(汉字)左右的英(汉)语文章段落译成汉(英)语。译文需忠实原文的意思,且语言通顺,符合译语规范。 合格为150分。凡第一阶段合格的考生方可参加第二阶段口试。笔试成绩两年内有效,即笔试通过后可以参加四次口试,只要任何一次通过即可拿到口译证书。 第二阶段口试,每年5月和11月,共分两部分:口语与口译。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。答对11句及以上可以通过。 考生只有在通过笔试和口试两个阶段以后才能获得《上海市英语中级口译岗位资格证书》。考试的指定培训教材:《中级听力教程》(周国强编著),《中级阅读教程》(陈汉生编著),《中级翻译教程》(孙万彪、冯慎宇编著),《中级口语教程》(严诚忠、朱妙南编著),《中级口译教程》(梅德明编著),均由上海外语教育出版社出版。听力和口译教程配有磁带,mp3网上可以下载到。 推荐参考书:《中级口译真题解析》,同济大学出版社,内有八套真题并配有详细解析,必买;新东方口试考试培训班指定辅导用书系列,汪海涛、邱政政主编,世界图书出版公司,一套四本,中口用到《词汇必备》,《口试备考精要》和《中口笔试备考精要》三本;《英语中级口译实用教程》,康志峰主编,华东理工大学出版社;《英语中高级口译笔试冲刺》和《口试导考》,都是谭宝泉编著,前者是上海译文出版社,后者是东华大学出版社;《实战口译》,(英)林超伦编著,外语教学与研究出版社,讲口译速记符号的。 考试准备 1.背单词 单词是肯定要背的。口译的准备一般从寒假开始,这时离你四六级考试或英语期末考试结束已经有一段时间了,背单词可以唤醒你丧失的英语记忆。而且上面也提到口译单词涉及到诸多方面,其中绝大部分都是具有中国特色、与我国现阶段国情紧密相关的,社会实用性很强,这些都是大学英语教学所欠缺的。有些单词你可能以前都没有接触过,通过背单词,可以初步了解口译考试的考点。 我用的是新东方的《中/高级口译考试词汇必备》,这也是迄今为止我所知道的最好的口译单词书。它打破了单词书按字母顺序编写的常规,将口译常用单词和词组分为若干类,既有英译中,也有中译英,充分考虑了口译的双向性。所选内容除了来自教程外,还参考了国内外多种资料和媒体,很多翻译(特别是对外口径)都是“权威”表达。 背单词点到为止,千万不要花太多时间,毕竟考试不是考默写单词。另外这本单词书有不少

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.

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?

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%。

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.
