第1题

【正确答案】：

答案:

麦克：赶紧找点东西吃，我饿坏了。

Li ：I am also quite hungry ．Hey ．There is a McDonald's up ahead ． 麦克：只要你向前走，总能碰上麦当劳；不管你朝哪看，总能看见一家该死的麦当劳。它们简直也太方便了。无处不在的“金色双拱形”真叫人恶心。你知不知道光美国就有8,000多家麦当劳餐馆，全世界的连锁店超过了11,000家。到2020年，每个人每天都要光顾麦当劳。

Li ：I like the burgers anyway ．Few places in the world are

McDonald's-free ．They have sold more than 100 billion burgers worldwide ．In China alone ，several hundred McDonald's restaurants have been set up in recent years ，and many children prefer to have their birthday-parties there ．Of course ，not all their food is good ，but at least they are consistent ．One burger is completely like the other no matter when you go ．

麦克：随你怎么说，我反正认为那里的饭菜不怎么样。还有，你知不知道美国96％的孩子都认识麦当劳的标志——麦克唐纳大叔?麦当劳是美国最大的最低工资雇主，却拥有比地球上任何公司都多的房地产。更有甚者，据说美国每七个百万富翁中就有一个是从麦当劳起家的。

Li ：Give me a break ，will you? I am starving ． 麦克：可我已经没有胃口了。

[本题分数]： 20.0 分

【答案解析】

本文主要是关于麦当劳快餐的对话。其中考查译者某些专门用语、专有名词等的掌握情况，以考查译者的基本素质；在此基础上，译者还要在相当短的时间内理解长难句并准确完整地翻译；理解某些短语和单词的确切含义并能理解其在上下文语境中的确切用法，以及理解和翻译一些口语化表达，使全文的翻译不仅准确完整，而且符合目标语的语言习惯。

【基本素质采分点】

下列单词或短语是基础知识点，包括专有名词、惯用表达等，是译者正确理解并翻译的关键。

1．McDonald's 麦当劳

2．franchises 连锁店

3．汉堡包 hamburger

4．minimum-wage 最低工资

5．real estate 房地产

【结构理解采分点】

下面是本文出现的长难句，要求译者在很短时间内，判断其结构、大意并组织翻译语言，且保证信息的完整和准确。

1．Everywhere you turn there is another blasted McDonald's ．原句是一个口语化句子，句子结构较简单，翻译时采用顺译法，并对部分结构进行转化，使译文符合中文表达习惯，blasted 是口语中常用词，可译为“该死的、讨厌的”。参考译文为：不管你朝哪看，总能看见一家该死的麦当劳。

2．Do you know that there are over 8,000 McDonald's restaurants in the U.S. alone and over 11,000 franchises worldwide?原句为疑问句，实际表述的是事实。句子主干是do you know + 宾语从句；宾语从句是there be 句型连接的两个并列结构。在翻译时，可采用拆译法，将并列结构拆成短句，并注意增译句子结构所需的实词。参考译文为：你知不知道光美国就有8,000多家麦当劳餐馆，全世界的连锁店超过了11,000家。

3．现在全世界好像没有几个地方没有麦当劳，卖出的汉堡包都超过一千亿个了。原句是由两个并列短句组成，翻译时可用拆译法，把两个并列成分拆分成独立的句子，使理解更容易。参考译文为：Few places in the world are

McDonald's-free ．They have sold more than 100 billion burgers worldwide ．

4．当然，也不是每种产品都好吃，可起码都很标准，不管什么时候去吃，汉堡包都是一个样子。原句是口语化句子，中文动词较多，如：好吃、去吃、是，整句由短语式结构组成，主、谓语被省略。翻译时，按照英文表达习惯，采用拆译法，把并列的短语结构拆成两个单独的英文句子，使理解更容易；并将原句中大量动词转化为符合英文表达的介词短语；并增译句子所需的实词和主语。参考译文为：Of course ，not all their food is good ，but at least they are consistent ．One burger is completely like the other no matter when you go ．

5．They are the largest minimum-wage employers in America and own more real estate than any other company on earth ．原句是由there be 句型和连词and 连接的两个并列结构组成，但并列成分实际构成对比转折关系。翻译时可采用顺译法，用连词表示转折关系，使译文清楚。参考译文为：麦当劳是美国最大的最低工资雇主，却拥有比地球上任何公司都多的房地产。

二、Interpret （本大题1小题．每题40.0分，共40.0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】：

答案:

欢迎各位出席这次关于科学、信息与社会这一重要问题的会议。

人事部CATTI三级口译实务考试出题规律

人事部CATTI三级口译实务考试出题规律 规律1：对话部分考社会热点内容，多与中西方文化交流有关 真题倒排： 2006年11月外国人看中国文化 2006年5月伦敦文化和中国春节 2005年11月姚明在美国NBA 2005年5月中国人和外国人对麦当劳不同的看法 2004年11月新一代居民身份证 2004年5月上海和上海世博会 2003年11月讨论世界地球日 复习建议： 这部分考试难度最低，不是考翻译，而是考察的学生的基本听力和口语的能力。这20分是学生必须要抢的20分。复习时要紧紧扣住热门词汇和近期热门话题，对于中国和英美一些特有的背景词汇要特别突击一下，比如这次考试出现的中国"古钱"，上次考试出现的"春联"，和更早考试出现的"麦当劳"。 考试根源： 中西方文化交流和冲突，以及社会关注的热点话题是一名外事工作者，在中低层次的口译工作中必然面临的工作内容，这就是以实用为原则的人事部考试出这种题材的原因。 规律2：英译汉部分考大会发言，多为大会的基调发言。 真题倒排：

2006年11月中国在世界舞台上的崛起 2006年5月环境保护和自然资源 2005年11月全球气候变暖 2005年5月亚洲的价值与繁荣 2004年11月科学、信息和社会 2004年5月介绍艾滋病 2003年11月英国王妃戴安娜的新闻 复习建议： 最早的考试可以忽略不计，戴安娜为新闻体，艾滋病过于专业，因此最近5次考试再也没有重复过这样的题型。因此，复习时应该紧紧扣住大会英语，背记有关大会英语的词汇和高频句子。人事部指定教材的英译汉内容基本都是大会的演讲，尤其是外国人来到中国参加各种大会的演讲，以及世界重大会议的基调发言外国人来到中国参加各种大会的演讲，以及世界重大会议的基调发言，广大同学应用听译-视译-听译的办法复习，相信指定教材对考试的指向性。不要过分偏离教材，按照自己的想象复习。考试时的策略是，这40分拿到一半就是胜利，把标准调低一点，努力坚持，不要被不会的东西吓住，从而产生放弃的心理，或彻底地胡说八道。 考试根源： 人事部三级口译考试是为社会提供职业的口译员，尤其是在各种会议上从事交替传译工作的口译员，因此其英译汉的题型必然以大会的背景为依托。但毕竟只是三级，所以内容不可能过于专业和深奥，只能选择相对泛泛的内容，也就是用相对严肃的词汇讲大而空的内容，这正是会议基调发言的特点。对话部分考题针对一般性外事活动中的听说能力，英译汉部分则是针对具体会议中的口译能力。口译员基本不会坐在电视边翻译新闻，所以戴安娜那样的题目不会再出了。换句话说，复习时不可把太多注意力放在新闻听力方面，因为这不是口译的话题和题材。 规律3：汉译英部分考外交式的严肃讲话或介绍中国政策和特色

All Luciano Faggiano wanted when he purchased the seemingly unremarkable building at 56 Via Ascanio Grandi, was to open a restaurant. The only problem was the toilet. Sewage kept backing up. So Mr. Faggiano enlisted his two older sons to help him dig a trench and investigate. He predicted the job would take about a week. “We found underground corridors and other rooms, so we kept digging,”said Mr. Faggiano, 60. His search for a sewage pipe, which began in 2000, became one family’s tale of discovery. Lecce was once a critical crossroads in the Mediterranean. Severo Martini, a member of the City Council, said archaeological relics turn up on a regular basis —and can present a headache for urban planning. A project to build a shopping mall had to be redesigned after the discovery of an ancient Roman temple beneath the site of a planned parking lot. One week quickly passed, as father and sons discovered a tomb of the Messapians, who lived in the region centuries before the birth of Jesus.

Mining families proudly recall all the years they toiledunderground. Supply companies line the town streets. Above the road that windstoward the mines, a soot-smudged miner peers out from a billboard with theslogan “Coal =Jobs.” 犹他州东部有一个矿产丰富的小镇，那里的人们祖祖辈辈都以采煤为生。一提起在地下辛苦采煤时的情景，每个家庭总是倍感骄傲。街道两旁的煤炭供应公司一个挨着一个。在通往矿井的蜿蜒小路上方的广告牌上，一个满脸炭灰的矿工凝视着远方，旁边的标语写着“煤炭=工作”。 Butrecently, fear has settled in. The state’s oldest coal-fired power plant,tucked among the canyons near town, is set to close, a result of new, stricterfederal pollution regulations. 但是最近，小镇的人们心里充满了恐惧。联邦政府新颁布了一套更为严格的污染管理条例，这使得小镇附近峡谷之中的一家美国最古老的燃煤电厂频临倒闭。 As energy companies tack away from coal, toward cleaner, cheaper natural gas, people here have grown increasingly afraid that their community may soon slip away. Dozens of workers at the facility here, the Carbon Power Plant, have learned that they must retire early or seek other jobs. Local trucking and equipment outfits are preparing to take business elsewhere. 由于能源公司纷纷弃用煤炭，转而使用更清洁、更廉价的天然气，小镇的人们越来越害怕，他们的家园可能很快就会人去楼空。卡本电厂的几十名工人早就意识到，他们要么提前退休，要么另谋职业。当地的货运和装配人员正准备开发外地的业务。

2014年11月份三级笔译实务（汉译英）真题 【译之灵笔译培训】2014年CATTI三级笔译汉译英真题出自《第67届联合国大会中方立场文件》中关于能源安全方面的内容： Section2：Translate Chinese into English 外交部：2012年第67届联合国大会中方立场文件 （五）能源安全 5. Energy Security 能源安全同世界经济的稳定发展和各国人民的福祉息息相关。在当前国际金融危机背景下，维护全球能源安全对有效应对国际金融危机冲击、推动世界经济全面复苏和长远发展具有重要意义。 Energy security has a close bearing on the stability and growth of the world economy and the well-being of people in all countries. Against the backdrop of the global financial crisis，ensuring energy security is vital to effectively tackling the impact of the crisis and promoting the full recovery and long-term development of the world economy. 国际社会应树立互利合作、多元发展、协同保障的新能源安全观，共同稳定能源等大宗商品价格、防止过度投机和炒作，保障各国特别是发展中国家能源需求，维护能源市场正常秩序。同时，各国应改善能源结构，加强先进能源技术的研发和推广，大力发展清洁和可再生能源，在相关领域积极开展国际合作。 To this end，the international community should foster a new energy security outlook featuring mutually beneficial cooperation，diversified development and coordinated supply. Joint efforts must be made to stabilize the prices of energy and other commodities and prevent excessive speculation and market hype，so as to meet the energy demands of all countries，particularly the developing countries，and maintain order in the energy market. Meanwhile，countries should improve their own energy mix，promote the research，development and diffusion of advanced technologies，vigorously develop clean and renewable energies，and actively advance international cooperation in relevant fields. 中国政府高度重视能源和能源安全问题。在解决中国的能源问题上，始终坚持节约优先、立足国内、多元发展、保护环境的原则，加强国际互利合作，大力改善和调整能源结构，努力构筑稳定、经济、清洁、安全的能源供应体系，（加快建设资源节约型、环境友好型社会。哥本哈根会议前夕，中国宣布了到2020年非化石能源占一次能源消费比重15%，单位国内生产总值二氧化碳排放比2005年下降40%-45%的目标。这一部分试题删节了）中国愿与世界各国一道共同努力，建立起能源合作长效机制，为保障全球能源安全、应对气候变化做出应有的贡献。 The Chinese government attaches great importance to issues of energy and energy security.

2006年5月英语CATTI三级《笔译实务》真题

2006年5月英语CATTI三级《笔译实务》真题 试题部分： Section 1: English-Chinese Translation (英译汉) (60 points) Translate the following passage into Chinese. The time for this section is 120 minutes. Freed by warming, waters once locked beneath ice are gnawing at coastal settlements around the Arctic Circle. In Bykovsky, a village of 457 on Russia's northeast coast, the shoreline is collapsing, creeping closer and closer to houses and tanks of heating oil, at a rate of 15 to 18 feet a year. "It is practically all ice - permafrost - and it is thawing." For the four million people who live north of the Arctic Circle, a changing climate presents new opportunities. But it also threatens their environment, their homes and, for those whose traditions rely on the ice-bound wilderness, the preservation of their culture. A push to develop the North, quickened by the melting of the Arctic seas, carries its own rewards and dangers for people in the region. The discovery of vast petroleum fields in the Barents and Kara Seas has raised fears of catastrophic accidents as ships loaded with oil and, soon, liquefied gas churn through the fisheries off Scandinavia, headed to markets in Europe and North America. Land that was untouched could be tainted by pollution as generators, smokestacks and large vehicles sprout to support the growing energy industry. Coastal erosion is a problem in Alaska as well, forcing the United States to prepare to relocate several Inuit villages at a projected cost of $100 million or more for each one. Across the Arctic, indigenous tribes with traditions shaped by centuries of living in extremes of cold and ice are noticing changes in weather and wildlife. They are trying to adapt, but it can be confounding. In Finnmark, Norway's northernmost province, the Arctic landscape unfolds in late winter as an endless snowy plateau, silent but for the cries of the reindeer and the occasional whine of a snowmobile herding them. A changing Arctic is felt there, too. "The reindeer are becoming unhappy," said Issat Eira, a 31-year-old reindeer herder. Few countries rival Norway when it comes to protecting the environment and preserving indigenous customs. The state has lavished its oil wealth on the region, and Sami culture has enjoyed something of a renaissance. And yet no amount of government support can convince Mr. Eira that his livelihood, intractably entwined with the reindeer, is not about to change. Like a Texas cattleman, he keeps the size of his herd secret. But he said warmer temperatures in fall and spring were melting the top layers of snow, which then refreeze as ice, making it harder for his reindeer to dig through to the lichen they eat. "The people who are making the decisions, they are living in the south and they are living in towns," said Mr. Eira, sitting inside his home made of reindeer hides. "They don't mark the change of weather. It is only people who live in nature and get resources from nature who mark it." Section 2: Chinese-English Translation(汉译英) (40 points) Translate the following passage into English. The time for this section is 60 minutes. 维护世界和平，促进共同发展，谋求合作共赢，是各国人民的共同愿望，也是不可抗拒的当今时代潮流。中国高举和平、发展、合作的旗帜，坚持走和平发展道路，与世界各国一道，共同致力于建设一个持久和平、共同繁荣的和谐世界。 中国与世界从未像今天这样紧密相连。中国政府把中国人民的根本利益与各国人民的共同利益结合起来，坚持奉行防御性的国防政策。中国的国防服从和服务于国家发展战略和安全战略，旨在维护国家安全统一，确保实现全面建设小康社会的宏伟目标。中国永远是维护世界和平、安全、稳定的坚定力量。 中国在经济不断发展的基础上推进国防和军队现代化，是适应世界新军事变革发展趋势、维护国家安全和发展利益的需要。中国不会与任何国家进行军备竞赛，不会对任何国家构成军事威胁。新世纪新阶段，中国把科学发展观作为国防和军队建设的重要指导方针，积极推进中国特色军事变革，努力实现国防和军队建设全面协调可持续发展。

2011年5月及历年人事部CATTI三级口译真题回忆 及感想

两点，考完实务，刚回到宿舍，有点小兴奋，没睡着觉。 想着，趁着思维还活跃，来回顾一下真题，跟大家分享。 上午，十点到十一点，《口译综合》部分： 1.判断题：是关于战争对伊拉克对人民生活，心理等的影响。题目不难，但有些选项很有迷惑性，而且不是每题的选项内容跟着录音走的，有时候可能会跳跃，所以大家听之前要纵观题目内容，心里有个底。 2.单句理解。各种话题都有，比一般听力理解要难，比平时练习也难一些，会涉及到一些谚语俗语的理解，很短，比如“man in the street" 就不能理解为"the man standing in the street"，类似的有好几个，都有点迷惑人，另外还有出现出生时间与年岁间换算，不过这种大家应该见得比较多。总之，出题总会有些拐弯抹角，来设置陷阱。 3.篇章理解。说实话，比我想象中的难。老师总说过综合没什么问题，因而轻视了，也没怎么练习。同样跳跃性大，选项内容4要纵观全文来判断，这样也就增加了难度。 4.填空。内容是经济类。我没具体看，只管填词了。速度快，笔记也要快。 5.听力复述。关于北极熊是濒临物种，涉及到全球变暖的原因，以及保护工作什么的。这部分我没做好。后来有点敢，怕时间不够去涂卡，结果半途回来接着写复述，笔记都不太看的懂了，囧，希望老天保佑，阅卷人大慈大悲，给我多点分。。。 下午，一点半到两点，《口译实务》部分： 这是我们大家最怕，最担心的部分了，也是平时练习的重点，过不过关键在此了。 补充，这次考试，有英音有美英，这对我平时只听美英的人来说，有点加大难度了。 1.对话部分：是关于四川菜的，还行，挺口语化的，虽然涉及到菜系说法，但都很浅显，没有考很深。词也比较基础。 2.英译汉：关于地球熄灯一小时计划的。涉及到一些城市名与著名景点地，比如纽约的帝国大厦，巴黎的埃菲尔铁搭。这个平时看关于这个的中文新闻也会提到的，什么世界各地啊哪儿哪儿的都参与熄灯计划中，为保护我们共同的地球而努力之类的话。所以可以算比较简单了。 3。汉译英：中文与汉字。这个有点出乎意料，我以为会是某个演讲讲话，什么中国外交关系呢，因为以前大都这样。出现的词有些也不好翻，什么“象形文字”“表意文字”之类的，当时一瞬间很难想出合适的表达。平时练习，还是广泛涉猎各种话题吧，有些人说梅德明编的三口那个教材不太实用，我觉得不是，你要是把那书中的话题词汇都啃熟了，考试就容易多了，我估计这次汉字的可能书上就有类似的，菜系书上是有的。学的多，总会是有好处的。

2015-2016年CATTI三级笔译实务真题和答案(4套)

2015 年5月全国翻译专业资格（水平）考试英语三级《笔译实务》试卷 Section1 For generations, coal has been the lifeblood of this mineral-rich stretch of eastern Utah. Mining families proudly recall all the years they toiled underground. Supply companies line the town streets. Above the road that winds toward the mines, a soot-smudged miner peers out from a billboard with the slogan “Coal = Jobs.” 对这个地处犹他州东部、矿产丰富的地区而言，煤炭在过去几代人的眼里一直都是这个地区的生命线/经济命脉。每当回忆起作为矿工在地下采煤的岁月时，每个家庭都会感到无比自豪。大街的煤炭供应公司栉比鳞次/鳞次栉比。在蜿蜒通向矿区的马路上方，可见一处广告牌，上面除了有句“煤炭=工作”的口号，还有位满身烟灰的矿工正凝视着前方。 But recently, fear has settled in. The state’s oldest coal-fired power plant, tucked among the canyons near town, is set to close, a result of new, stricter federal pollution regulations. 但是最近，人们开始担忧起来。由于新的联邦污染防治法规更加严格，位于县郊（译者注：根据本文倒数第二段该地区实为卡本县，这里的town指的就是卡本县，所以此处译为县郊。）峡谷之中的犹他州历史最久的燃煤电厂即将关闭。 As energy companies tack away from coal, toward cleaner, cheaper natural gas, people here have grown increasingly afraid that their community may soon slip away. Dozens of workers at the facility here, the Carbon Power Plant, have learned that they must retire early or seek other jobs. Local trucking and equipment outfits are preparing to take business elsewhere. 由于能源公司摒弃煤炭转而发展更加清洁、更加廉价的天然气，这里的人们越来越担心他们的家园可能很快就会悄然消失/不复存在。卡本电厂（Carbon Power Plant）的几十号工人已得知，他们必须提前退休或另谋职业。当地的卡车运输和装备人员正准备到其他地方去发展业务。“There are a lot of people worried,” said Kyle Davis, who has been employed at the plant since he was 18. Mr. Davis, 56, worked his way up from sweeping floors to managing operations at the plant, w hose furnaces have been burning since 1954. “I would have liked to be here for another five years,” he said. “I’m too young to retire.” 凯尔·戴维斯（Kyle Davis）自18岁起就一直在这家电厂工作，他说：“许多人现在都忧心忡忡。”该公司自1954年成立以来，运转至今，从未间断。现年56岁的戴维斯先生在该公司从清扫工人一路做到负责公司运营的高管职位。他说道：“我本想在公司再干五年的，毕竟现在退休还太年轻。” But Rocky Mountain Power, the utility that operates the plant, has determined that it would be too expensive to retrofit the aging plant to meet new federal standards on mercury emissions. The plant is scheduled to be shut by Ap ril 2015.“We had been working for the better part of three years, testing compliance strategies,” said David Eskelsen, a spokesman for the utility. “None of the ones we investigated really would produce the results that would meet the requirements.” 但是目前负责运营卡本电厂的落基山电力公司（Rocky Mountain Power）已决定，如果为了达到有关汞排放量的新联邦标准而对该电厂的老旧设备进行翻新改造，代价过高，并不可行。该电

Section1: English-Chinese Translation（英译汉）（50 points）Translate the following passage into Chinese. The time for this section is 100 minutes. PALOS DE LA FRONTERA, Spain — Back home in Gambia, Amadou Jallow was, at 22, a lover of reggae who had just finished college and had landed a job teaching science in a high school. But Europe beckoned. In his West African homeland, Mr. Jall ow?s salary was the equivalent of just 50 euros a month, barely enough for the necessities, he said. And everywhere in his neighborhood in Serekunda, Gambia?s largest city, there was talk of easy money to be made in Europe. Now he laughs bitterly about all that talk. He lives in a patch of woods here in southern Spain, just outside the village of Palos de la Frontera, with hundreds of other immigrants. They have built their homes out of plastic sheeting and cardboard, unsure if the water they drink from an open pipe is safe. After six years on the continent, Mr. Jallow is rail thin, and his eyes have a yellow tinge. “We are not bush people,” he said recently as he gathered twigs to start a fire. “You think you are civilized. But this is how we live here. We suffer here.” The political upheaval in Libya and elsewhere in North Africa has opened the way for thousands of new migrants to make their way to Europe across the Mediterranean. Already some 25,000 have reached the island of Lampedusa, Italy, and hundreds more have arrived at Malta. The boats, at first, brought mostly Tunisians. But lately there have been more sub-Saharans. Experts say thousands more — many of whom have been moving around North Africa trying to get to Europe for years, including Somalis, Eritreans, Senegalese and Nigerians — are likely to follow, sure that a better life awaits them. But for Mr. Jallow and for many others who arrived before them, often after days at sea without food or water, Europe has offered hardships they never imagined. These days Mr. Jallow survives on two meals a day, mostly a leaden paste made from flour and oil, which he stirs with a branch. “It keeps the hunger away,” he said. The authorities estimate that there are perhaps 10,000 immigrants living in the woods in the southern Spanish province of Andalusia, a region known for its crops of strawberries, raspberries and blueberries, and there are thousands more migrants in areas that produce olives, oranges and vegetables. Most of them have stories that echo Mr. Jal low?s. From the road, their encampments look like igloos tucked among the trees. Up close, the squalor is clear. Piles of garbage and flies are everywhere. Old clothes, stiff from dirt and rain, hang from branches. “There is everything in there,” said Diego Ca?amero, the leader of the farm workers? union in Andalusia, which tries to advocate for the men. “You have rats and snakes and mice and fleas.” The men in the woods do not call home with the truth, though. They send pictures of themselves posing next to Mercedes cars parked on the street, the kind of pictures that Mr. Jallow says he fell for so many years ago. Now he shakes his head toward his neighbors, who will not talk to reporters. “So many lies,” he said. “It is terrible what they are doing. But they are embarrassed.”
