Thank you, Lord Hurd , for those kind words.It is an honor and pleasure to be here.When l left Brussels yesterday, it was 12 degrees Celsius and hailing.赫德勛爵,感謝您的美言。
Here, it was 25 degrees and sunny.我很榮幸也很高興來到這里。昨天我離開布魯塞爾時,那里還下著冰雹,氣溫只有12撮氏度,而這里則陽光明媚,氣溫高迭25撮氏度。
Speaking of climate change, I don't understand why you British are always complaining about the weather.說到這樣的氣候差異,我不明白為什么你們英國人還總是抱怨天氣不好。
I confess I am a little intimidated, Lord Hurd, at being moderated by a veteran statesman of your distinction.赫德勛爵,說實話,您這樣一位聲名顯赫的資深政治家為我做引見令我有些誠惶誠恐。
When I first accepted the gracious invitation to address this Institute, I was especially excited about the prospect of speaking under the Chatham House Rule.最初接受來貴所演講的盛情邀請時,一想到將有機會按照英國皇家國際事務研究院規則 演講,我就特剮興奮。
I understand the rule means the audience is free to use the information received at the meeting, but may not reveal the identity of the speaker, nor his affiliation.我知道,按照這一規則,聽眾可以自由引用會上所獲信息,但不得披露演講者身份及其所屬組織。I thought to myself, now there's a rule we should apply from time to time at the United Nations.我心想,我們在聯合國也應當不時采用這一規則。
I could get my message across, but keep a low profile at the same time.這樣我既可以表達想法,還能同時保持低調。
And conversely* those interested in grand-standing would have one less opportunity to do so.而反過來,那些喜歡拋頭露面的人則少了一個炫耀的機會。But it was not to be.可這次演講將不啟用這一規則。
Having understood that this event is on the record, I will have to wait for another occasion to experience the Chatham House Rule at first hand.我知道這次活動會記錄在案,我只好另找機會親身感受這一規則了。
Mr.Niblett, Director of Chatham House, 英國皇家國際事務研究所所長寧布萊特先生,Excellencies, 閣下們
Ladies and gentlemen , 女士們,先生們:
It is truly a privilege to join such a distinguished group of experts and scholars, diplomats and opinion-makers, politicians and not least, representatives of civil societywho by then had become the UK Ambassador to the UNand the world as a whole-has come to appear much complicated.自那時起,聯合國乃至整個世界似乎變得更加復雜。So have the challenges confronting our Organization.聯合國所面臨的挑戰也是如此。
The perception of us is no longer so black and white, and tends now to be drawn in various shades of gray.如今,人們對我們的看法不再是非黑即白,而是傾向于不同程度的灰色。But if you are an optimist, as I am, you will paint the UN in brighter colors.但是,如果你們和我一樣,是樂觀主義者,那么你們會用更明快的色彩來勾畫聯合國。
You will know that our world of complex and global challenges is exactly the environment in which our United Nations should thrive-because these are challenges that no country can resolve on its own.你們會知道,我們的世界充滿了復雜的全球性挑戰,而這正是聯合國應該蓬勃發展的大好環境,因為任何一個國家都無法單獨應對這些挑戰。
It is a world in which the UN can, and must, grow and take on new roles, develop and deliver on new fronts.正是在這樣的世界中,聯合國能夠并且必須成長壯大,承擔新的任務,開辟新的戰線并在那里有所作為。
Thank you very much.多謝各位.
第五篇:英語口譯(二級)講義
英語口譯(二級)精講班第1講講義
001 二級口譯實務考試介紹
Lecture 1
1、二級口譯實務考試介紹
英語口譯二級考試分《口譯綜合能力》 和《口譯實務》測試兩部分,旨在檢測應試者的口譯實踐能力是否達到專業譯員水平。合格的應試者應能熟練運用口譯技巧,完整準確地譯出原話內容,無錯譯漏譯。
英語口譯實務(二級)考試含“英漢交替傳譯”和“漢英交替傳譯”。題量各占50%,含總量約1000單詞的英語講話兩篇和總量約1000漢字的漢語講話兩篇,時間約60分鐘??荚噧热萆婕罢巍⒔洕?、文化、外交、旅游、信息科技、經融貿易、環境保護、衛生健康等,跟翻譯專業所要求掌握的知識和技能相一致,要求應試者知識結構分布合理,專業技能達到一定的水平。
英語口譯實務考試一律采取現場錄音的方式,考試結果記錄在磁帶上??荚嚨脑u分標準非常細化,一個考生的磁帶要有兩個以上的人去聽,并且聽出來的結果基本一致,最后再由專家組根據考生錄音核定成績。
應該說英語口譯實務(二級)考試具有一定的挑戰性,要求應試者過語言關、知識關和技術關,同時還要有穩定的心理因素。按照翻譯專業人員的四個等級來劃分,即:助理翻譯、翻譯、副譯審和譯審,二級就是翻譯級,也就是我們所說的中級職稱。因此,二級口譯試題的定位基本上是針對大學外語專業比較優秀的畢業生,經過幾年的翻譯實踐應能達到的水平。二級口譯考試模塊的設計也是基于這一理念,即要求應試者具備比較全面的知識結構和良好的雙語互譯能力。具體說來,應試者應具備良好的語言知識(Linguistic Knowledge)、語言外的知識(Extra-Linguistic Knowledge)以及分析能力(Analysis)。同時應試者還應具備敏銳的聽力、良好的短時記憶、行之有效的筆記、以及準確靈活的雙語表達等口譯所必須的基本能力。
2、口譯學習講解
技巧和語言基本功相結合。課程講解同時關注這兩點。
3、口譯技巧介紹
口譯技巧(Interpretation Techniques)根據口譯步驟(信息接收—信息儲存—信息處理—信息輸出)為基礎,總結出以下技巧:(1)聽辨;
(2)思維理解1—邏輯分析;
(3)思維理解2—信息視覺;
(4)思維理解3 —將認知信息納入理解軌道
(5)記憶機制1—瞬時記憶、短時記憶、長時記憶;
(6)記憶機制2-記憶訓練方法;
(7)筆記方法1—記什么?(8)筆記方法2—怎么記?
(9)數字口譯1—單純數字口譯
(10)數字口譯2—數字與信息相結合(11)習語的口譯;
(12)模糊信息處理技巧;
(13)口譯中的文化差異;
(14)口譯中的句法轉換;
(15)語境因素處理技巧;
(16)臨場應變技巧。
我們將把這些技巧穿插在我們的講解之中,輔以必要練習。
4、口譯課程結構介紹
每次課內容安排:50分鐘
技巧講解和練習20' 語言練習10' 篇章練習20' 002 聽辨技巧
一、聽辨技巧
“聽辨”,顧名思義,不僅要“聽”還要“辨”,即思考、分析。“聽辨”是口譯過程中的第一個階段。在這個過程中我們接收到源語信息,并通過種種分析手段把接收到的信息納入到我們的理解范疇,以便儲存和輸出。毫無疑問,口譯的成敗在很大程度上取決于聽辨的過程。所以大家首先要對口譯的聽辨過程有一個透徹的認識,以便有針對性地進行練習,以提高自己的聽辨能力。
口譯中的聽辨過程和大家平時在英語學習中所接受的聽力訓練是不同的,但二者又有一定的聯系。
首先,具備良好的聽力水平是培養好的聽辨能力的基礎。換句話說,如果一個人的外語聽力有問題,那么無論他的語言表達能力有多強,他都很難勝任口譯工作。然而光有好的聽力還不夠,因為聽辨過程還涉及到其他方面的能力。這一點可以從聽力訓練與聽辨過程的區別中看出來。
1.英語的聽力訓練中比較注重語言層面,也就是說他們會十分注意語音、語調和語言的表達及用法等。而譯員在聽辨過程中所注重的是意思,或是講話者的意圖而不是具體的詞句表達。所以譯員在聽到一段話之后在頭腦中形成的是一個有邏輯關系的語意整體,而不僅僅是詞句的簡單集合。
2.聽力練習中主要啟動聽覺系統,理解只是一個被動而附帶的過程。而譯員在聽辨過程中不僅要啟動聽覺系統,還要啟動大腦中的分析理解機制和記憶機制。也就是說譯員要邊聽、邊分析、邊理解、邊記憶。所以,與一般的外語學習相比較而言,專業譯員要具有更強的分析能力,要會“一心多用”。
3.在聽的過程中,信息接收是被動和跟隨性的,對信息的反映略顯滯后。而譯員的聽辨過程是積極而主動的。在聽的過程中伴有很大程度的預測和判斷行為。常常需要調動非語言因素對所聽內容進行分析、整理、補充和聯想等。
4.用作聽力訓練的材料,信息比較清晰,雜音干擾較少。而譯員在口譯工作中所處的信息環境是現場性的,因此不確定性因素較多;信息干擾、信息缺失時有發生。而且,講話者以交流為唯一目的,在信息發布過程中并不照顧或考慮譯員的狀態。
綜上所述,口譯的聽辨過程較一般外語聽力訓練過程要復雜得多,對能力的要求也要高得多。大家需要建立這樣一個意識,即口譯的過程不是一個信息背誦加字詞翻譯的過程。而是一個通過聽辨將信息接收、理解,再用譯入語將理解了的信息加以表達的過程。以下提供一些訓練方法供大家參考,以英語聽辨能力的訓練為主。
1.可以選擇一些英文有聲資料(最好是現場講話)或是請練習搭檔模擬現場發言。聽過一段話后,在不記筆記的情況下用源語(英文)進行復述。注意在聽的過程中要把注意力從詞句表達上移開,而專注于整段話的邏輯意思。在復述時不要拘泥于原文的詞句,更不要試圖背原話。意思和邏輯關系要盡量復述的準確完整。
2.在聽辨訓練的初級階段,如果還不能完全掌握邊聽、邊分析、邊記憶的技能,可采取就所聽內容進行提問的方式建立邏輯關系。比如可以將注意力放在WHAT、WHO、WHEN AND WHERE、HOW AND WHY 等幾個要素上。通過這種方式增強邏輯分析意識,努力跟上講話人的思路,從而對所聽語篇有一個正確的理解。
3.每段講話的長度可隨熟練程度的加強而逐步增加:比如從聽幾句話到聽一小段,從一小段到一大段到數段等。并且可以嘗試聽各種不同風格的講話。選題也可以從比較熟悉的領域逐步擴展到比較陌生的領域,以培養臨場適應能力和分析綜合的能力。
練習1:
要求,認真聽原文,不要記筆記,根據WHAT、WHO、WHEN AND WHERE、HOW AND WHY 幾大要素總結段落大意。
Tea drinking was common in China for nearly one thousand years before anyone in Europe had ever heard about tea.People in Britain were much slower in finding out what tea was like, mainly because tea was very expensive.It could not be bought in shops and even those people who could afford to have it sent from Holland did so only because it was a fashionable curiosity.Some of them were not sure how to use it.They thought it was a vegetable and tried cooking the leaves.Then they served them mixed with butter and salt.They soon discovered their mistake but many people used to spread the used tea leaves on bread and give them to their children as sandwiches.What's the general idea of this short passage? Compared with the Chinese, People in Europe, particularly in Britain were much slower in finding out what tea was like, and how to use it.They cooked tea leaves as vegetable and served them with butter and salt and even made them part of Children's sandwiches.練習2 Tea remained scarce and very expensive in England until the ships of the East India Company began to bring it direct from China early in the seventeenth century.During the next few years so much tea came into the country that the price fell and many people could afford to buy it.At the same time people on the Continent were becoming more and more fond of tea.Until then tea had been drunk without milk in it, but one day a famous French lady named Madame de Sevigne decided to see what tea tasted like when milk was added.She found it so pleasant that she would never again drink it without milk.Because she was such a great lady her friends thought they must copy everything she did, so they also drank their tea with milk in it.Slowly this habit spread until it reached England and today only very few Britons drink tea without milk.General idea:
Tea remained scarce and very expensive in England until the ships of the East India Company began to bring it direct from China early in the seventeenth century.?? On the continent, people used to drink tea without milk until a French lady invented the habit of drinking tea with milk.003 詞匯積累
