崔天凱副部長在中美省州長對話開幕式上的致辭 2011年10月19日

Remarks by Vice Foreign Minister Cui Tiankaiat the China-US Governors Dialogue 19 October 2011

尊敬的趙洪祝書記、周強書記和各位中方省長，尊敬的葛瑞格爾州長和各位美國州長，尊敬的李小林會長、霍馬茨副國務卿，各位來賓，女士們、先生們：

Respected Secretary Zhao Hongzhu, Secretary Zhou Qiang and Chinese governors，Honorable Governor Gregoire and other US governors，President Li Xiaolin，Under Secretary Robert Hormats，Distinguished Guests，Ladies and Gentlemen，很高興出席中美省州長對話。首先，我代表外交部和楊潔篪外長對此次對話成功舉行表示熱烈祝賀。長期以來，中美地方間合作是兩國關系的重要基礎和推動力量。舉辦中美省州長對話是今年1月胡錦濤主席訪美的重要成果，也是中國外交部和美國國務院鼎力支持的項目。在全國友協、美國全國州長協會共同努力和兩國省州積極支持下，首屆中美省州長論壇于今年7月在美國鹽湖城成功舉行，取得令人振奮的豐碩成果。僅時隔3個月，美國州長代表團回訪中國，與中方書記、省長們進行新一輪對話。我們為中美地方間合作蓬勃發展、欣欣向榮的局面感到由衷高興。

I am delighted to attend the China-US Governors Dialogue.Let me begin by extending warm congratulations on the successful opening of the dialogue on behalf of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi.Over the years, subnational cooperation has been an important foundation and driving force of the relations between China and the United States.The launching of the China-US governors dialogue is an important outcome of President Hu's visit to the United States last January and has received full support from the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the US State Department.With the concerted efforts of the Chinese People's Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries and the US National Governors Association and active support from Chinese provinces and US states, the first China-US Governors Forum was successfully held in Salt Lake City in July, producing encouraging and fruitful outcomes.Now, after only three months, the US governors are paying a reciprocal visit to China and joining Chinese provincial leaders for a new round of dialogue.We are really gratified to see such momentum in China-US subnational cooperation.對于中美省州長對話，我有三個期待：

I have three hopes for the China-US Governors Dialogue.希望對話成為中美地方合作的催化劑。中國有34個省級行政區，美國有50個州、1個特區、5個聯邦領地和海外領地，都各具特色和優勢，彼此間擁有巨大合作潛力。建立省州長論壇是為兩國地方間交流合作提供高層次機制化平臺的開創性舉措，不僅將有力促進兩國地方共同繁榮，也將自下而上地推動中美總體關系不斷前進。

I hope that the dialogue will become a catalyst for China-US subnational cooperation.China has 34 provincial level administrative divisions.The United States has 50 states, one federal district and five unincorporated territories.Each of them is uniquely positioned with its own advantages and has enormous potential for cooperation with others.The China-US Governors Forum is a creative step that aims at offering a high-level and regular platform for subnational exchanges and cooperation.It will not only promote shared prosperity at the subnational level, but also facilitate the overall China-US relations at the national level.希望對話成為中美經貿關系的推進器。兩國地方省州是中美經貿合作的主力軍。過去10年，美國有47個州對華出口增幅達到3位數甚至4位數。近年來，中國各省企業對美投資快速增長，為美國經濟和就業做出貢獻。清潔能源、節能環保、生物醫藥、基礎設施等領域是中美經貿合作新的重要增長點。希望兩國地方把握機遇，積極開拓，把互利共贏的中美經貿合作提升到更高水平。

I hope that the dialogue will become a propeller of China-US business ties.Subnational efforts represent a large part of our overall trade and economic cooperation.Forty-seven US states have seen three-and even four-digit growth in their exports to China in the past decade and investment by local Chinese businesses in the United States has grown rapidly and contributed to the US economy and job creation in recent years.Clean energy, energy conservation, environmental protection, biomedicine and infrastructure are the new important growth areas in China-US economic cooperation.I hope that the provinces and states will make the most of these opportunities and take the mutually beneficial economic cooperation between our two countries to an even higher level.希望對話成為中美人民間的友誼橋梁。中美關系的根基在人民，動力源泉也在人民。中美人民友好交往日益密切，每年人員往來超過300萬人次，平均每天8000多人往返于太平洋兩岸。兩國地方高校、媒體、智庫、青年、民間團體之間加強文化、教育、藝術、體育等形式多樣的交流與合作，將在中美間架起更多友誼與合作的橋梁。希望中美兩國地方政府攜手合作，為此發揮引領作用。

I hope that the dialogue will become a bridge of friendship between the people of our countries.People represent both the foundation and source of strength for China-US relations.The friendly exchanges between the Chinese and American people have increasingly intensified.Each year, over three million visits are made between China and the United States.Everyday, more than 8,000 people on average travel across the Pacific.Enhanced and diverse exchanges and cooperation between Chinese and American universities, media, think tanks, youths and civil societies in culture, education, art and sports will forge more friendships and partnerships between China and the United States.I hope that the provincial, state and local governments of China and the United States will join hands and lead such exchanges.金秋十月是收獲的季節。我謹預祝本次對話圓滿成功，取得豐碩成果，為中美關系發展添上濃墨重彩的一筆。

Fall is the season of harvest.I wish the dialogue full success, leaving an indelible imprint on China-US relations.謝謝大家。

希拉里·克林頓創立全球清潔廚灶聯盟講話

Remarks on Global Alliance for Clean Cookstoves at the Clinton Global Initiative Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton September 21, 2010 Sheraton Towers New York, New York 希拉里·克林頓國務卿在克林頓全球倡議年會上就創立全球清潔廚灶聯盟發表講話 2010年9月21日 紐約州紐約市 喜來登大酒店

Thank you all.Thank you.Thank you so much.Thank you.And it is, as always, such a personal pleasure for me to join this remarkable gathering.And I look out at this audience and there are just too many people here who deserve recognition to name all of you, so let me just express my deep appreciation to all the representatives of foreign governments as well as the leaders and advocates who are here with us and who will be sharing the stage.And of course, I do want to thank someone very special, namely my husband, for organizing this event –(applause)– and instilling it with his very special spirit of activism, innovation, and commitment that is contagious.謝謝大家，謝謝，非常感謝，謝謝。和往常一樣，我為能參加這樣一個盛會感到十分高興。環顧一下在場的與會者，你們都應當受到表彰，只是人數太多，恕我不在此一一提名了，因此，就讓我向所有外國政府的代表以及將上臺發言的與會領導人和倡導人士表達深深的謝意。當然，我要感謝一位非常特殊的人物，也就是我的丈夫，感謝他組織這項活動（掌聲）并在這項活動中注入他非常獨特的、富有感染力的積極行動、創新和奉獻的精神。

Last year at CGI, I spoke about the Obama Administration’s new strategy for international development, which has elevated development alongside diplomacy and defense as the core pillars of American foreign policy.And we are working with our partner countries to help them obtain the tools and capacity that they need to solve their own problems and contribute to solving the world’s shared problems.Our goal is to help people lift themselves, their families, and their societies out of poverty and toward a better life.And this is not development for development’s sake.This work, we believe, advances our own security, prosperity, and values.在去年的克林頓全球倡議年會上，我談到了奧巴馬政府的國際發展新戰略，這項新戰略將發展問題提升到與外交和防務同樣的高度，一起成為美國對外政策的核心支柱。我們與伙伴國家進行合作，幫助他們獲取為解決各自面臨的問題所需要的手段和能力，并為解決世界性的共同問題作出貢獻。我們的目標是幫助民眾以及他們的家庭和社會擺脫貧困，改善生活。而這一目標并非為發展而發展。我們相信，這項工作會推進我們自身的安全、繁榮和價值觀。

So we have focused on strategic areas where we can make the biggest impact on agricultural change that stretch from the farm to the market to the table and keep people nourished and productive, health systems that help people spend their days working rather than sick or dying, opportunities for women and girls that allow them to contribute to economic and social progress.因此，我們著重于有關戰略領域，對從農場到市場再到飯桌的農業變革發揮最大影響力，并保證人們的營養水平和生產能力；使醫療系統能夠幫助人們健康地工作，不會疾病纏身甚至死亡；創造機會使成年和未成年女性能為經濟與社會進步作出貢獻。

And today, I am very excited to tell you about a new initiative that will advance these and other efforts, and help put vital new tools in the hands of millions of people.今天，我非常高興地向大家宣布一項新的倡議，以推進這方面的努力和其他努力，并幫助億萬人民獲得極其重要的新工具。

As we meet here in New York, women are cooking dinner for their families in homes and villages around the world.As many as 3 billion people are gathering around open fires or old and inefficient stoves in small kitchens and poorly ventilated houses.Many of the women have labored over these hearths for hours, often with their infant babies strapped to their backs, and they have spent many more hours gathering the fuel.The food they prepare is different on every continent, but the air they breathe is shockingly similar: a toxic mix of chemicals released by burning wood or other solid fuel that can reach 200 times the amount that our EPA considers safe for breathing.就在我們在紐約開會之時，世界各地的婦女正在家里和村子里為家人做飯。多達30億人生起明火，或在窄小的、通風不良的廚房里，在老舊低效的廚灶邊忙碌。很多婦女一連幾個小時地在這樣的廚灶邊忙個不停，身上還常常背著嬰兒，而且還要花很多時間拾柴。各大洲的婦女做的飯菜各式各樣，但她們吸入的氣體卻驚人地相似：燃燒的木柴和其他固體燃料所釋放的有毒的化學混合氣體，可能高達我國環保署（EPA）空氣安全標準允許含量的200倍。

As the women cook, smoke fills their lungs and the toxins begin poisoning them and their children.The results of daily exposure can be devastating: Pneumonia, the number one killer of children worldwide, chronic respiratory diseases, lung cancer, and a range of other health problems are the consequence.婦女在燒飯時，將煙塵吸入肺部，有害氣體導致她們和她們的孩子中毒。日復一日地吸入有毒氣體可能造成致命后果：全世界兒童的頭號殺手肺炎、慢性呼吸道疾病、肺癌以及其他各種健康問題。

The World Health Organization considers smoke from dirty stoves to be one of the five most serious health risks that face people in poor, developing countries.Nearly 2 million people die from its effects each year, more than twice the number from malaria.And because the smoke contains greenhouse gasses such as carbon dioxide and methane, as well as black carbon, it contributes to climate change.世界衛生組織認為，高污染廚灶產生的煙氣是貧窮的發展中國家人民所面臨的五種最嚴重的健康危害之一，每年造成將近200萬人死亡，超過瘧疾造成的死亡人數的兩倍。此外，由于煙氣中含有諸如二氧化碳、甲烷以及黑碳等溫室氣體，它對氣候變化也大有影響。

There are other consequences as well.In conflict zones like the Congo, the journeys that women must take to find scarce fuel put them at increased risk of violent and sexual assault.Even in safer areas, every hour spent collecting fuel is an hour not spent in school or tending crops or running a business.還有其他一些后果。在像剛果這樣的沖突地區，婦女為尋找稀少的燒柴必須長途跋涉，致使她們受到暴力和性侵犯的危險更大。即使在比較安全的地方，她們為拾柴多花一個小時，就意味著在學校、田間或做生意上少花一個小時。

People have cooked over open fires and dirty stoves for all of human history, but the simple fact is they are slowly killing millions of people and polluting the environment.Engineers and development professionals have worked on this problem for decades.My own involvement stretches back many years, and I’m well aware that well-meaning efforts have been launched, but none have managed to match the scope of the challenge.在整個人類歷史進程中，人們一直在用明火或高污染廚灶做飯，但一個明確的事實是，廚灶正在導致千百萬人慢性死亡，同時還在污染環境。工程師和開發專業人員幾十年來一直在努力解決這個問題。我自己參與其中也有很多年了。據我了解，人們已經作出一些良好的努力，但這些努力不足以應對這一挑戰的規模。

But today, because of technological breakthroughs, new carbon financing tools, and growing private sector engagement, we can finally envision a future in which open fires and dirty stoves are replaced by clean, efficient, and affordable stoves and fuels all over the world – stoves that still cost as little as $25.如今，由于出現了技術突破、新型碳融資手段以及越來越多私營企業的參與，我們終于可以展望這樣一個未來：明火和高污染廚灶在世界范圍內被清潔、高效、價格廉宜的廚灶和燃料所取代——而這樣的廚灶售價只需25美元。

I know that maybe this sounds hard to believe, but by upgrading these stoves, millions of lives could be saved and improved.This could be as transformative as bed nets or even vaccines.So today, I am very pleased to announce the creation of the Global Alliance for Clean Cookstoves.(Applause.)This is a public-private partnership led by the United Nations Foundation that will work toward the goal of 100 million homes adopting new clean stoves and fuels by 2020.Our long-term goal is universal adoption all over the world, and the alliance is a perfect CGI model of a public-private partnership that already includes governments such as the United States, Germany, Norway, and Peru, international development organizations and local NGOs, as well as foundations and private companies such as Morgan Stanley and Shell.我知道也許這聽起來難以置信，但是通過這些廚灶的升級，數百萬人的壽命能夠延長、生活能夠改善。這可能會像蚊帳甚或疫苗一樣有變革意義。所以今天，我很高興地宣布創立全球清潔廚灶聯盟。（掌聲）這是一項公私合作伙伴關系，由聯合國基金會挑頭，力爭實現到2020年讓一億戶人家用上新型清潔廚灶和燃料的目標。我們的長遠目標是在世界各地普及清潔廚灶，而這個聯盟則是克林頓全球倡議的一個完美模式，其政府和私營伙伴關系已經包括諸如美國、德國、挪威、秘魯等國政府，多個國際開發組織和各地的非政府組織，還有各類基金會以及摩根士丹利、殼牌公司等私人企業。

And we do expect to grow quickly with your help, and this effort will proceed on a number of parallel tracks.First, a major applied research and development effort to improve design, lower costs, and develop global industry standards for cookstoves.There are already some good stoves out there, but we can make them much more durable, efficient, and affordable, and scale up production to reach a mass market.With the right advances, new stoves could even use their own wasted heat to produce electricity that powers smoke-clearing fans, mobile phones, and even household lights.我們確實期待著在你們的幫助下快速發展，這一努力將在數條平行軌道上展開。首先，要有一個重要的應用研究和開發項目，來改善設計、降低成本，并制定廚灶產業的全球性標準。市場上已經有一些效果不錯的爐具，但我們可以把它們設計得更耐用、高效，經濟實惠，并能擴大生產，投放大眾市場。如果取得適當進展，新型廚灶甚至可以用自身余熱發電，電力又可以驅動清煙風扇、為移動電話充電、甚至用于家庭照明。

Second, a broad-based campaign to create a commercial market for clean stoves, including reducing trade barriers, promoting consumer awareness, and boosting access to large-scale carbon financing.Now, no single stove will meet the needs of every community across the world.In fact, previous efforts have taught us that if local tastes and preferences are not considered, people will simply not use the stoves, and we’ll find them stacked in piles of refuse.That’s why a market-based approach that relies on testing, monitoring, and research is so important, because if we do this right, these new stoves will fit seamlessly into family cooking traditions while also offering a step up toward a better life.其次，要有一項具有廣泛基礎的努力，為清潔爐具開辟一個商業市場，包括降低貿易壁壘，以提高消費者的意識，并促進獲得大規模的碳融資。不過，任何一種廚灶都不能滿足世界各地每一個社區的需求。事實上，以前的經驗告訴我們，如果對當地的品味和喜好不加考慮，人們根本不會使用這些爐具，我們會發現它們變成堆積如山的廢物。這就是為什么一種以市場為基礎并且依賴于檢測、監測和研究的方式是如此重要，因為如果我們的做法得當，這些新型廚灶就會完美地融入家庭烹飪傳統，同時也使人們向更美好的生活邁進一步。

Third, we will integrate clean stoves into our international development projects so that refugee camps, disaster relief efforts, and long-term aid programs all will act as distribution networks.Women and girls who are obviously the vast majority of stove users will be our focus throughout.Women-owned, micro-financed businesses and networks can extend deep into hard-to-reach communities, and that I know a number of my friends from SEWA, the Self Employed Women’s Association that started in India, has already made a huge difference for millions of women in India.And they’re with us today;you’ll meet them in a minute.And they’re helping us to make this happen more broadly.第三，我們將把清潔廚灶與我們的國際發展項目結合起來，這樣，難民營、救災行動和長期援助項目等都將成為我們的推廣、分發網絡。顯然，作為廚灶主要使用者的婦女和女孩子將是我們自始至終的工作重點。婦女擁有的小型貸款企業和各種網絡能夠深深地延伸到難以企及的社區。我認識好幾位來自自我創業婦女協會的朋友，這個從印度發起的組織已經改變了數百萬婦女的命運，今天這些朋友也在座，你們很快就會與她們見面。她們正在幫助我們把這個事業推廣到更大的范圍。

The United States is committing more than $50 million over the next five years to this initiative, and we urge other countries to join us.Our partners have already contributed an additional $10 million, and we’re working to raise more every day with the goal of reaching at least $250 million over 10 years.This is a project that brings, across our government, the experts together, and many of them have long experience in working on clean stoves, but never before have we pulled our resources and our expertise behind a single global campaign, as we are doing today.And never before have we had the range of global partners and coordination that the Alliance for Clean Cookstoves brings with it.美國已承諾在以后5年中為此行動計劃提供5000萬美元，我們敦促其他國家也參加這個行列。我們的伙伴們已經捐助了另外1000萬美元，我們每天在努力募集更多資金，我們的目標是在10年內至少籌到2.5億美元。這個項目把政府各部門的專家們匯聚到一起，他們中的許多人具有研究清潔廚灶的多年經驗，但我們以前從未像我們今天所做的那樣，把所有的資源和專長匯集在一個全球性運動之中；我們以前也從未有過清潔廚灶聯盟所帶來的如此廣泛的全球伙伴和協作。

So we need your help as well.You’re here because you are already committed to identifying and investing in innovative solutions to persistent global problems.So today, I ask you to join us, to be a part of this solution, an issue that brings together so many of our concerns.Whether you’re passionate about health or the environment or sustainable development or women’s empowerment, this is a project for you, and we need you.因此，我們也需要你們的幫助，在座的各位來到這里，是因為你們已經承擔起義務，找出并投資于創新辦法來解決長期以來困擾著我們的全球性問題。因此，今天我請求你們加入進來，成為這個解決辦法的一部分，因為我們如此之多的關切都匯集在這個問題上。無論你是熱衷于健康問題、環境問題、可持續發展問題，還是增加婦女權益問題，這就是你要做的項目，我們需要你的參與。

The next time you sit down with your own family to eat, please take a moment to imagine the smell of smoke, feel it in your lungs, see the soot building up on the walls, and then come find us at the Global Alliance for Clean Cookstoves.Hearths, whatever they look like, and wherever we gather around them, where we tell our stories and pass down our values, bind families together.And the benefits from this initiative will be cleaner and safer homes, and that will, in turn, ripple out for healthier families, stronger communities, and more stable societies.So we are excited because we think this is actually a problem we can solve.下一次，當你和你的家人一起進餐時，請你停頓一個瞬間來設想一下煙氣的味道，設想一下它進入你肺部的感覺，以及煙灰在墻上聚積的情景，然后就到全球清潔廚灶聯盟來參加我們的事業。無論我們的廚灶是什么形狀，無論我們在什么地方圍繞著灶臺，我們都在那里講述經歷，傳承價值觀，把我們的家庭緊緊聯結在一起。這項倡議將帶來更清潔和更安全的家庭環境，由此將產生更健康的家庭、更強健的社區和更穩定的社會。因此，我們很興奮，因為我們覺得，這是一個我們能夠切實解決的問題。

And I want to bring up and introduce to you a woman who has been my partner in this process in the United States Government.She provided invaluable leadership to this effort and has on so many important issues facing our country.The Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, Lisa Jackson.現在我要把一位女士介紹給大家，她是我在美國政府中推進這個項目的伙伴，她在該項努力中以及在我們國家面臨的其他許多重要問題中發揮了非凡的領導作用，她就是美國環境保護署署長。

11月14日上午的中口口語話題：

如何解決大城市的交通擁堵問題。

英譯漢第一篇：美國的旅游和交通

口譯教程上有一篇很相似的內容，在課堂上也講解過。

英譯漢第二篇：領導者和人民的關系

這是以往不太出現的內容，值得之后的考生特別關注。

漢譯英第一篇：上海菜

口譯教程上有相似話題的內容，課堂講義里也有類似關于飲食的練習。

漢譯英第二篇：08年抗震救災和北京奧運

抗震救災話題與事實相結合，口譯考試從來不拒絕熱點。北京奧運在課堂講義里有相關專題，真題也進行過練習。希望大家有好的發揮。

11月14日下午的中口口語話題：

The high-speed rail in china。又是當前的熱點話題。還沒考的童鞋們關注了啊。

英譯漢第一篇：car rental services in USA

此篇出自中級口譯教程 4-1行在美國。在課堂上練習過，也作為回家作業做過。說的是去美國旅行的一些建議：不要買車而是租車。因為美國是世界上租車業最發達的國家。有美國的兩大汽車巨頭在各機場設有辦公樓，其他地方城市其他的美國租車公司有設辦事處。

英譯漢第二篇：economic recovery

主要說最近經濟復蘇，亞洲遙遙領先遠超過歐洲的恢復速度，特別是中國和印度更是復蘇的領頭羊。美國的經濟有望借復蘇的勢頭來年恢復經濟，但還存在一些潛在的風險。

漢譯英第一篇：京河高科技園區簡介

此篇出自中級口譯教程 2-4 參觀訪問。其中涉及到“走馬觀花”這樣的四字格，“背靠渤海”這樣地理方位的描述。雖然在課堂上作為回家作業讓同學做過，但沒有充分準備的話，依然會覺得難度較大。漢譯英第二篇：上海世博會

上下午的考題一對比，大家讀出些什么訊息了么？上午和下午都統一考到了美國交通和旅行的狀況。記得五月份的某一次二階段考試，上下午都考到了中國傳統文化的內容。也許是巧合，但每一次巧合背后會有一定的道理。正在備戰的聰明的你們，知道怎么做了？

11月21日中級口譯口試

英譯漢第一篇：商務洽談此篇出自中級口譯教程 3-3 合資企業。

英譯漢第二篇：志愿者活動看來命題者深受“小白菜”們的影響。

漢譯英第一篇：來滬工作

此篇出自中級口譯教程 3-1 歡迎光臨。涉及reception and ceremonial speech的內容。漢譯英第二篇：中日關系緊跟時事的節拍，值得后面的考生注意。

11月28日上午的口語題：

Competition: a good thing or a bad thing?

英譯漢第一篇： the differences in work ethics between the Chinese and Americans.改編自《中級口譯教程》3-4 文化差異

英譯漢第二篇：knowledge-based economy

難度較大。講的是知識經濟時代，要求年輕人有長遠的眼光，開放的頭腦，善于發揮自己的潛力。知識經濟的特點之一是創新。創新不僅意味著創造知識，而且要運用這些知識。

漢譯英第一篇：吸引外資

改編自《中級口譯教程》2-4 參觀訪問。在課堂講義的第一單元后面作為回家作業要求大家完成的。漢譯英第二篇：世博與旅游

主要內容說世博和旅游歷來是相互結合，相互促進的。成功舉辦世博會是黨和人民賦予旅游業的歷史使命和光榮任務。世博近期還是熱點話題。上幾周的考試也考過。

11月28日下午口試：

先給了一段文章，大意是 One Foundation Report from Beijing Normal University on philanthropy and charitable course in China.話題是 Should there be a minimum for billionaires’ donations?英譯漢第一篇：entrepreneurial culture

整段難度非常大。很多同學一上來都懵了。其實此段改編自《中級口譯教程》13-1 企業文化。英譯漢第二篇：global food crisis

現在全球糧食危機嚴重，超乎我們的想象。商品價格飆漲，糧食價格高。貧困人群尤其是兒童營養狀況堪憂。整段難度不大，但同學收到上一段的打擊，加之這段三個數字的口譯，總體不太理想。

漢譯英第一篇：如何教育青少年

典型的青少年教育話題，難度一般。一方面父母期望過高，另一方面網絡科技的發展容易引發青少年犯罪問題。青少年的健康成長需要家庭、學校和全社會的共同努力。

漢譯英第二篇：中美合作關系

典型的雙邊關系話題，套句很多。經過訓練的同學一定能順利通過。主要講中美兩國是具有影響力的國家。兩國有廣泛的共同利益和合作基礎。兩國的建設性合作關系符合兩國人民的根本利益，有利于世界的和平、穩定和發展。

總體感受：

口語部分雖不是最關鍵的，但良好的intonation以及流利度會給考官極好的印象。后面的口譯打分自然就會有偏向，也許不及格的句子會偏向及格。

得教程者得天下。尤其是英譯漢第一段基本都來自教程。而順利拿到英譯漢第一段是對士氣的很大鼓舞。把講過的內容記熟且流暢地表達出來就已經很好了。進考場前問問自己是不是已經把筆記的重要詞組都口頭過了一遍。

時事需關注，出題有時候有滯后效應。比如世博還是考了。上幾周還考到08奧運和抗震救災。關注時事，同時善于思考，多開口討論。

(2)SECTION 2: STUDY SKILLS(45 minutes)Directions: In this section, you wiIl read several passages.Each passage is followed by several questions based on its content.You are to choose ONE best answer,(A),(B),(C)or(D), to each question.Answer all the questions following each passage on the basis of what is stated or implied in that passage and write the letter of the answer you have chosen in the corresponding space in your ANSWER BOOKLET.Questions 1--5 I came across an old country guide the other day.It listed all the tradesmen in each village in my part of the country,and it was impressive to see the great variety of services which were available on one's own doorstep in the late Victorian countryside.Nowadays a superficial traveler in rural Eng1and might conclude that the only village tradesmen still flourishing were either selling frozen food to the inhabitants or selling antiques to visitors.Nevertheless, this would really be a false impression.Admittedly there has been a contraction of village commerce, bul its vigor is still remarkable.Our local grocer's shop, for example, is actually expanding in spite of the competition from supermarkets in the nearest town.Women sensibly prefer to go there and exchange the local news whi1e doing their shopping, instead of

queueing up anonymously at a supermarket.And the proprietor knows well that persona1 service has a substantial cash value.His Prices may be a bit higher than those in the town, bu he will deliver anything at any time.His assistants think nothing of bicycling down the village street in their lunch hour to take a piece of cheese to an old age pensioner who sent her order by word of mouth with a friend who happened to be passing.The more affluent customers telephone their shopping lists and the goods are on their doorsteps within an hour.They have only to hint at a fancy for some commodity outside the usual stock and the grocer a red-faced figure, instantly obtains it for them..The village gains from this sort of enterprise, of course.But I also find it satisfactory because a village shop offers one of the few ways in which a modest individualist can still get along in the world without attaching himself to the big battalions of industry or commerce.Most of the village shopkeepers I know, at any rate, are decidedly individualist in their ways.For example, our shoemaker is a formidable figure: a thick-set, irritable man whom children treat with marked respect, knowing that an ill-judged word can provoke an angry eruption at any time.He stares with contempt at the pairs of cheap, mass-produced shoes taken to him for repair: has it come to this, he seems to be saying, that he, a craftsman, should have to waste his skills upon such trash? But we all know he will in fact do excellent work upon them.And he makes beautiful shoes for those who can afford such luxury.1.The services available in villages nowadays are normally_________.(A)fewer but still very active(B)less successful than earlier but managing to survive(C)active in providing food for the village and tourists(D)surprisingly energetic considering the little demand for them 2.The local grocer’s shop is expanding even though________.(A)town shops are more attractive(B)town shops are larger and less well-known(C)people like to shop where they are less well-known(D)people get extra service in townshops 3.How do the village grocer’s assistants feel about delivering goods?(A)They tend to forget it.(B)They will not consider it.(C)They take it for granted.(D)It does not seem worth their while 4.Another aspect of personal service available in the village shop is that_________.(A)there is a wide range of goos available(B)goods not in stock can be obtained whenever they are needed(C)special attention is given to the needs of wealthier customers

(D)goods are always restocked before they run out 5.In what way is the village shoemaker a “formidable figure”?

(A)He seems to pay little attention to public opinion.(B)He refuses to mend cheap,mass-produced shoes.(C)He has a very rough temper.(D)He has very high standards of workmanship.Questions 6--10 Drivers on the Basingstoke by-pass used to have their attention diverted by a sign that read—A MOMENT'S INATTENTION CAUSES ACCIDENTS.This self-defeating warning has now been removed, but its message is still very much to the point.Almost anyting can cause an accident.Apart from momentary inattention, it might be a minor miscalculation, a sudden fit of coughing, a bop on the head with a teddy-bear from a child in the back seat, an argument with the wife, fog, falling asleep at the wheel, bad eyesight, a glaring sun, ice, rain, wind, or snow—a1l these can make the difference between a tragic hit and a lucky miss.Although human error plays its part, it is by no means the only cause of accidends.There must be some cause other than simple human error.Road construction plays its part: researchers have found that it is not at the obvious danger spot—sharp corners, cross-roads, narrow lanes—that accidents happen.It is on those roads where there are subtle visual traps, unexpected changes in the shape or surface of the.road, or even insufficient or badly-placed signs.Wherever there is a 'black spot', it means that something is seriously wrong with the road.Why else did the careless driving of so many come out at that particular spot? What the law requires when you have an accident There are, firstly the legal formalities of exchanging names and addresses with others involved in an accident and, in certain cases, informing the police.However, you are required by law to stop after an accident only if: l Somebody other than yourself in or outside your car has been injured.2 A vehicle not your own has been damaged.3 Any horse, cow,donkey,sheep, or dog has been injured.It has been said that if a driver continues unaware of causing injury he must be acquitted.But the courts are wary of that excuse.Furthermore, the driver himself must wait at the scene;it is not enough for him to leave his chauffeur or a friend to attend to the boring formalities while he goes off on more important business.If you have been involved in an accident and have stopped, you must give your name, address, and registration number to anyone who has a good reason for requesting it;this means anyone affected by the accident.If these formalities are complied with it is not necessary to wait for the arrival of the police.It is，however, often wise to do so.The police are expert at drawing plans, taking measurements and photographs and gathering other evidence.In your absence the police could be given a biased story against you;and you yourself migh wam to point out certain features of the accident to the police.6.A MOMENT'S INATTENTION CAUSES ACCIDENTS'(para.l)is a self defeating Warning because______.(A)it will make a driver wait at the scene(B)it will distract the driver's attention(C)it is too difficult to understand(D)it is too long to be read by drivers 7.According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?(A)After an accident you have to give your name to anyone who asks for it.(B)Drivers on the Basingstoke by-pass used to ignore the sign.(C)Road construction problems can be a major cause of accidents.(D)A 'black spot' is a part of the road where there are no signs.8.'Subtle visual traps'(para.3)are ______.(A)places where the police hide in order to trap motorists(B)parts of the road which are deceptive to the driver's eye

(C)danger spots such as sharp corners and cross-roads(D)places where there are man road-signs 9.As required by the law, you must stop after an accident, if ______.(A)you have been injured by somebody.(B)your car has been damaged.(C)you have injured somebody else(D)you have witnessed the accident l 0.After an accident it is recommended that you wait for the police because _________.(A)it is against the law to drive off(B)they have to examine your licence and insurance certificate(C)they have to noto the position of your car(D)somebody may give them a false account of the accident Questions 11--15 Just as word oil scarcity is already causing intemational conflicts, so will the scarcity of water reach a point where wars will break out.The statistics on water are already scary.Already well over l billion people suffer from water shortages and 30 countries get more than a third of their water from outside their

borders—an obvious source of disputes and instability especially as the climate changes.The whole of the sub-Saharan Africa, most of South Asia and western South America are most at risk.The reason: the rapid melting of glaciers due to global warning.At the meeting of the coalition of 27 Intemaional charities last month, Gareth Thomas, minister of Intenatonal Development of the British government, wrote to prime minister Gordon Brown demanding action to ensure fresh water to 1.1 billion people with poor supplies.”If we do not act now, the reality is that water supplies may become the subject of international conflict in the years ahead.We need to invest now to prevent us having to pay that price in the future“, Thomas said.The department warned that two-thirds of theword's population will live in water-stressed countries by 2025.The coalition of charities has appealed for a global effort to bring running water to the developing world and supply sanitation to a further 2.6 billion people.It said that international investment is needed now to prevent competition for water to destabilize communities and escalate into conflicts.Tackling the water and sanitation crisis is essential if the Millennium Development Goal Call to Action is to be a success.Otherwise, progress on health, education, and environment sustainability will be undermined.Each year 443 million school days are lost globally to diarrhea and 1.8 million children die from these diseases.In fact, it is often not realized tha investing in sanitation and water brillgs the greatest public health gains, more than any other single development intervention and delivers enormous economic

gains.Already, some Asian countries have put tackling these issues at the forefront of theirdevelopment efforts.The Millennium Development Goals aim to halve the proportion of people without access to safe drinking water by 20l5.To achieve that urgent action needs to be taken.There is no doubt that climate change is potentially the most important factor affecting water shor tage.This, compounded with a growing and increasingly urbanized global population will put pressure on food and water.For a temperature rise of 2°C, which is likely to happen by 2050, there would be a catastrophic 2 to 3 billion people suffering from water stress.11.What does the author think is primarily responsible for water shortages in the world ?(A)Climate chance.(B)Border dispute.(C)World competition.(D)Political instability 12.According to Gareth Thomas, _______ is the price we have to pay for water shortage if we do not take immediate action.(A)sanitation crisis(B)intemational conflict(C)global warming(D)over-urbanization 13.What can the coalition of charities do to prevent competition for water ?(A)Appealing for international investment.(B)Bringing running water to the developing world.(C)Supplying sanitation to billions of water-stressed people.(D)Enhancing world environment sustainability 13.The Millennium Development Goals aim to_______ in the near future.(A)tackle the water and sanitation crisis(B)yield economic gains as well as public health gains(C)mak progress on health, education and environment sustainability(D)provide more people with clean drinking water 15.According to the passage, what will add to water shortage ?(A)Oil scarcity.(B)A drop in temperature(C)A growing population.(D)Reduced food supply Questions 16.-20 Parenting was never a piece of cake in any age, but probably the greatest source of headache for parents today in Japan is the ubiquitous cellphone.Today, 96 percent of senior high school students and 58 percent of junior high school students have cellphones.Even among primary school children, 3l percent have them.By enabling youngsters to stay connected with their parents at all times, these gadgets help to keep children safe.For the kids, they are fun toys, too, that let them text to or chat with their pals whenever they wat, play Intemet games, and enjoy blogging for their own profile and diary purposes.But terrible dangers lurk beneath all that fun and convenience.Every year about l,000 children become involved in rape and other crimes through dating service sites.Violent and obscene images are only a couple of clicks away.On gakkoura saito, or so-called unofficial school websites where kids can post whatever they want, anyone can fall victim to brutal ''verbal mob lynching” by their peers.Amid today's urgent need to address these problems, the government’s Meeting on Education Rebuilding has issued a report.In response to the Prime Minister's recent comments---“I carmot think of one good reason for(letting youngsters)have a cellphone“ and ”I would like everyone to discuss whether cellphones are really necessary:“----the report recommended that ”parents, guardians, schools and all parties concerned should cooperate among themselves, so that elementary school pupils and junior high school students do not have a cellphone unless there is a compelling reason for them to do so.“ But since many parents believe in the necessity of cellphones as a safety tool, it is unrealistic to expect everyone to do away with them.Rather, it would make more sense for guardians, schools and cellphone companies to consider, from their respective standpoints,how cellphones should be used by children.We suggest that parents sit down with their offspring and talk about their “houserules”for cellphone use.For instance, sct the hours allowed, so the kids won't be texting to their friends late into the night, remind them never to give away personal information online, and so on..But there are limits to what individual families can do, and this is where we also suggest that schools should educate their pupils on the dangers of cellphone use.One way to go about this, for instance, may be for each class to set its own rules on sending e-mail messages.16.The word ”ubiquitous“(para.l)is closest in meaning to ________.(A)updated(B)sophisticated(C)prevalent(D)obsolete 17.Many parents let their kids have cellphones because they ________.(A)want their kids to keep up with the IT World(B)can't think of anything better for their kids to have fun(C)don't want their kids to miss 'what other kids have(D)believe cellphones endble them to stay connected 18.Which of the following is NOT the potential risk kids may face when using cellphones?(A)Involvement in rape-related crime

(B)Exposure to violent and obscene images(C)Falling victim to brutal curses.(D)Being tracked down by unofficial school websites.19.The report issued by the government’s Meeting on Education Rebuilding______.(A)recommended minimizing the use of cellphones among kids(B)suggested setting “house rules” for cellphone use

(C)urged parents to remind their children about ce1lphone use(D)pressed schools to educate their pupils on the dangers of cellphone use 20.What is the main idea of the passage?(A)Parents neglect to protect their kids from cellphones.(B)Parenting with cellphones is a source of headache.(C)Cellphones should be banned from campus.(D)Kids need lessons on the uses of cellphones Question 21--25 Extract I

A stylish dining room with cream walls and curtains and black carpet as perfect foil to an eclectic array of furniture.Many of the pieces are classics of their particular era, and demonstrate how old and new designs can be happily mixed together Thc prototype chair in the foreground has yet to prove its staying power and was thought up by the flat's occupant.He is pictured in his living room which has the same decorative theme and is linked to the dining room by a high Medieval-styled archway where was once a redundant and uninspiring fireplace.Extract 2 Old bathrooms often contain a great deal of ugly pipework in need of disguising.This can either be done by boxing in the exposed pipes, or by fitting wood paneling over them.As wood paneling can be secured over almost anyting---including oid ceramic tiles and chipped walls---is an effective way of disguising pipework as well as being an attractive form of decoration.The paneling can be vertical, horizontal or diagonal.An alternative way to approach the problem of exposed pipes is to actually make them a feature of the room by picking the pipework out in bright strong colours.Extract 3 Cooking takes second place in this charming room which, with its deep armchairs, is more of a sitting room than a kitohen, and th6 ntw RaybUm stove as a good choice, as it blends in well with the old brick and beamed fireplace.There are no fitted units or built-in appliances, so all food preparation is done at the big farmbouse table in the foreground;and the china, pots and pans have been deliberately left on show to make an attractive display.What about the kitchen sink? It's hidden away behind an archway which leads into a small scullery.Here there's a second cooker and---in the best farmhouse tradition---a huge walk-in larder for all food storage.2l.Why is the colour of the carpet described in Extract l a particular advantage?(A)It livens up the colour in an otherwise dull room.(B)It provides a contrast to the furniture.(C)It blends in with the tones of the furniture.(D)It gives the room a classical style.22.What is the purpose of the archway described in Extract 1 ?(A)To hide an unattractive fireplace.(B)To give the room an exotic eastem style.(C)To join the dining room with the sitting room(D)To make room for the unusual seating arrangements.23.Extract 2 is probably taken from ________.(A)an architect's blueprint

(B)a plumber’s manual

(C)a home renovation magazine(D)an advertisement for new bathrooms 24.Extracts 2 and 3 deal with _________.(A)old and classic furniture(B)attractive colour schemes(C)cheap improvement schemes(D)home decoration 25.Compared with Extract l the room described in Extract 3 appears to _______.(A)be more comfortable(B)be more colourful(C)contain more furniture(D)posspss a greater variety of style Questions26--30,.Large parts of the world have not enjoyed the remarkale global progress in health conditions that have taken place over the past century.Indeed, millions of deaths in impoverished nations are avoidable with prevention and treatment

options that the rich world already uses.This year, l0 million children will die in low-and middle-income countries.If child death rates were the same as those in developed countries this figuer would be lower than 1 million.Conversely, if child death rates were those of rich countries just 100 years ago, the figure would be 30 million.Today's tools for improving health are so powerful and inexpensive that health conditions could be reasonably good even in poor countries if policy makers spent even relatively little in the right places.Recent research for the Copeghagen Consensus idenifies several highly cost-effective options that would tackle some of the planet's most urgent health problems.The most promising investment is in tuberculosis treatment.Some 90 percent of the l.6 million tuberculosis deaths in 2003 occurred in low-and middle-income countries.Because tuberculosis affects working-age people, it can be a trigger of household poverty.The comerstone of control is prompt treatment using first-line drugs, which doesn't require a sophisticated health system.Spending $l billion on tuberculosis treatment in a year would save l million lives.Because good health accompanies higher levels of national economic welfare in the long run, the economic benefits are worth $30 billion.The second most cost-effective investment is tackling hewt disease.Heart disease migh not seem like a pressing issue for poor nations, but it represents more than a quarter of their death toll.Measures to reduce risk factors other than smoking--high intake or saturated animal fat, obesity, binge drinking of alcohol, physical inactivity , and low fruit and vegetable consumption--have had little success.Treating acute heart attacks with inexpensive drugs is，however, cost-effective.Spending $200 million could avert several hundred thousand deaths, yielding benefits that are 25 times higher than costs.The third option is prevention and treatment of malaria.A billion dollars would expand the provision of insecticide-treated bed-nets and facilitate provision of highly effective treatment.This would save more than a million child deaths and produce economic benefits worth $20 billion.The fourth altermative for policymakers is to focus on child health initiatives.The best measures are familiar ones expanding immunization coverage, promoting breasfeeding, increasing the use of simple and cheap treatments for diarrhea and childhood pneumonia, and so on.Even if the costs of all these initiatives were two or three times higher than we estimate, these efforts would still provide amazing opportunities to reduce health inequality and do good in the world.26.Over the past century, the child death rates hatve _________.(A)climbed steadily in impoverished countries(B)dropped remarkably in developed countries(C)fluctuated wildly in low-incoine countries(D)remained stable in middle-income countries 27.The most effective investment is in the treatment for ________.(A)tuberculosis

(B)heart disease(C)malaria(D)diarrhea 28.All of the following could be the contributing factors to heart disease EXCETP________.(A)heavy smoking(B)binge drinking(C)saturated animal fat intake(D)vegetable consumption 29.According to the author, if $ l billion were invested in the prevention and treatment of heart discase, whih of the following economic benefits would be produced?(A)$20 billion.學口譯，做金領！迎戰9月口譯考試 2009年春季“上海外語口譯”筆試查分公告 中高級口譯備考必看的歷年真題免費下載

You might think that hamburgers were invented in the United States, but that is not totally true.These round, flat cakes or patties actually came from Germany in the middle of the 19th century.They were brought to the United

States by German immigrants who came from the city of Hamburg.That is why their name was Hamburger Stake.However, people in other places claim that they invented the hamburger.Perhaps we'll never have a clear answer.But there is no question that the hamburger was a great hit.Why? Perhaps because at that time, industry was growing and a kind of fast, practical and cheap food was needed for workers.The hamburger became even more popular in the 1920s when the first chain of fast food restaurants was started.This chain was called ”White Castle“.It served tiny hamburgers that were sold for only 5 cents each.Then, in the 1930s there came the drive-in restaurant where customers were served in their cars by waiters in uniform.And the hamburger was one of the most popular menu items.By now, the hamburger was ready to conquer the world.And this happened with McDonald's, which was actually a hot dog stand at first.But by the early 1950s the hot dog was replaced by the hamburger.McDonald's and other fast food restaurants spring up around the world throughout the rest of the 20th century.McDonald's alone has sold 12 hamburgers for every person in the world.The importance of the hamburger to U.S.culture remains significant.About 60% of all sandwiches that are eaten are hamburgers.According to some sources, 7% of current workers in the Untied States had their first job at McDonald's.But the face of the hamburger is changing according to the times.Nowadays it is possible to buy a chicken burger, a turkey burger, a fish burger or a veggie burger.Statements

Passage one(Q11-14)W：What are you laughing about? M: I just saw the silliest advertisement on TV for German soups.It's said our products are home-made with the freshest vegetables and fruits.Then a scene in the factory showed that products were prepared and packed by the most sophisticated machinery.W: And I am sure that the word NATURAL was put on the jars and cans of the products.I think the stupidest advertisements are those that imply that you are one of a kind.If you buy the product, you will be a very special person.Now you will be just like every other one of the 20 million people who bought it.M: That's really silly.But to me, the dumbest of them all is when advertisers put a celebrity on TV to talk about a particular brand of soap or about a particular car.I bet that the celebrity's never used the product before they got the job of appearing in the commercial.W: Yeah!But most of these commercials work and people remember the product.M: I agree, here we are talking about ads we've seen, aren't we? We are all influenced by those celebrities and brand names.W: I think teenagers are specially vulnerable.Advertisers try to get teenagers used to a brand because they know that in later years, the teenagers will stick to that particular product of theirs.Question 11: What in the advertisement has made the man laugh? Question 12: When some ads imply that you are one of a kind, what does that mean? Question 13: Why does the advertiser put a celebrity on TV to talk about a particular product? Question 14: According to the woman, what will teenagers do if they are used to a brand? Passage two(Q15-18)Many of you may have heard of ”jetlag", which is a condition of sleep disorders resulting from rapid travel over time zones such as on a jet plane.The symptoms of jetlag can be quite varied and may include: loss of appetite, nausea, headache, fatigue, insomnia or even mild depression.Here are few tips for you to avoid jetlag or cope if you are stricken by the condition.First adjust your biological rhythm several days before your departure.And develop a plan

to start switching to the time zone of your destination.For instance, if you will be flying from New York to Paris where it is 6 hours later, get up one hour earlier for a couple of days, then two hours earlier, then three hours earlier.I would try to at least get half way to a new time zone.Turn lights on during daytime in your destination and off during the night time.Second, during the time of your adjustment and especially during the flight, drink plenty of water.If you are not a big water fan, drink some other fluid that is not high in sugar, carbonation or caffeine.Avoid junk food, salty foods, caffeine and alcohol on the plane.Of course I say that, but I always have a couple of drinks during the flight, if you do that, just be sure to drink as much water between drinks as possible.Thirdly, when you arrive in your destination, try to resist the urge to nap during day time, get outside during the daylight hours, even if it's just to sit in a café and relax.Try to get a good night's sleep for the first couple nights.The key is to reset your body's natural clock and to get enough rest.Finally when you return home, use some of the same tactics above to return to your previous time zone.Q15.What's the speaker's definition of jetlag? Q16.What's the difference of the time zones between New York and Paris? Q17.What does the speaker recommend if you do not want to drink much water during the flight? Q18.According to the speaker, what should you try to do once you arrive at the destination? Passage 3(Q19-22)

F: Come in Mr.Edison, take a seat.M: Good morning doctor.F: Now let's get a few details.Shall we? First, your age, now you're 40? M: Er, 35 actually, doctor.F: Right, 35.And your weight? M: About, 105 kilos.F: That's rather a lot for your height, don't you think? M: Yes, Well, I don't get much exercise, doctor.F: And what kind of work do you do exactly? M: I work with computers.F: So you sit most of the day, is that right? M: All day.F: Right, so tell me, do you smoke? M: Well, I used to smoke 20-30 a day, but now it's about 10.F: Emm, Have you had any illness likely? M: Nothing serious, just usual coughs and colds.F: I see.Now, let's talk about your diet.What have you eaten this morning, for example? M: I've had two fried eggs, 5 bread, toast, butter and jam, and oh, 3 cups of tea.F: Well, Mr.Edison, that isn't the best diet now, is it? What else do you normally eat? M: Beef burgers a lot, Chips.F: Dear Oh dear.And what about exercise do you have Mr.Edison? Do you play any Sports? M: Er, can't say I do really.F: Well Mr.Edison this is all rather serious.I think we have to Change a few things in your life.Firstly I recommend that you stop smoking completely.Secondly, you need to get some exercise, walk, instead of drive Mr.Edison.Join a sports club.And lastly, we must make some changes to your diet.No more fried foods, no more chips, and beef burgers, good healthy vegetables, boiled potatoes, grilled meat and fish.Q19.What does the woman say about the man's health? Q20.How many cigarettes does the man smoke each day now? Q21.What does the woman think of the man's breakfast? Q22.Which of the following can not be concluded from the conversation?

Passage 4(Q23-26)May I have your attention, ladies and gentlemen? Since the International club meets only once every semester for this special event, the first thing on our agenda is to have the secretary read the minutes of the last meeting.So when I finish this opening speech, the secretary will read the minutes of our meeting for the last semester.And then we'll go through our annual treasurer's report and decide whether it can be accepted or not.At the top of our agenda, and I'm sure in everyone's mind, is the International Display Week.It has been proposed for discussion.I was chairman of the African club, and now as chairman of the International club, I know more than anyone else the importance of such a display week.Let me explain.There are ten foreign clubs here representing the foreign students on our campus.The purpose of these clubs is, first of all, to get the students from the same countries together, so we won't get too homesick, and so we can help each other over the rough spots.And secondly, so that the American students can join the club of their interest and learn about our culture as we learn theirs.Now, about the display.Some of you old hands will have to help me out, as there was so much going on I can't remember at all.Let me see.There are the Scottish folk dance and Irish one, too.We'll team up with the folk music club and recruit anyone who can sew to help make costumes.Of course, each group will set up a booth decorated with pictures and things of interest in their respective countries, and everyone will wear his national costume.Question 23: Who is the man?

Question 24: How often is the meeting held?

Question 25: What is at the top of the meeting's agenda?

Question 26: What is the purpose of organizing foreign clubs on campus?

Passage 5(Q27-30)F: Paul, nice to see you back from the university.How do you like your new university? I remember your mum had wanted you to go to London University so that you can live at home and walk or cycle to attend the lectures.M: Well, you know I didn't go to London University after all.My new university is on the suburbs of an ancient cathedral city and it is almost 8 miles from the city center.The university is planned on the so called American Campus System.That is to say, students live in halls of residence grouped around the main university buildings.F: You mean you live, eat and study within the university proper? M: Yes, I like it.Because we are a real community.We've got comfortable common rooms and bars.We arrange dances and parties.We've got clubs, theater groups, choirs and so on.And we've got an orchestra.I played the drums in it.By the way, how about your university days, Betty?

F: I rent a house with two other girls in the middle of the city about then minutes walk from the university.The house is falling to pieces.It is damp and there is no proper heating.M: That sounds awful.I couldn't work in a place like yours.The district is poor and could almost be classed as a slum.F: I don't think so.We live among real people who treat us as real people.We've got an electrician living next door, who is always coming in and mending our cooker and electric fires.We could try to get into one of the halls of the residents.But we prefer to be independent.It's nice to belong to the city and to do things outside the university.M: What sort of things do you do outside the university? M: Well, there is a group of us who go and help in a home for handicapped children.And I think in the city bar choir we get on well with the local people, not like you in that suburban district.W: Well, I like history.And my university is one of the best universities for that subject.Besides, it is an ancient city with a lot of historical relics and sightseeing spots.If you can drop by by any chance, I can show you around.F: You bet.27.Where do the man's family live? 28.What is typical of the American Campus System?

平常的經濟蕭條一旦來臨，大家都明確應該馬上著手做哪些事情：重新翻開塵封已久的凱恩斯的著作，聯邦政府調低利息率，總統和國會開始減稅，增加財政支出。用不了多久，市場上購銷兩旺，生產線生機勃勃，貸款扶搖而上，于是乎，凱恩斯的書又回了書架。不需要對經濟體制做重大的改革，要知道我們的經濟固然偶爾會有一點磕磕碰碰，從根本上說還是健康的。第二次世界大戰以后，每次蕭條一來，我們都這樣如法炮制。

關于哪個階層應該減稅最多，哪些計劃可以得到政府資金援助，共和黨人和民主黨人一直都爭論不休。不過，公眾輿論自然會要求他們有所作為，因此他們也往往能找到雙方都可接受的中間路線，共同推動一個經濟刺激的一攬子計劃。就算在今天的華盛頓，兩黨意見空前分歧，我們依然相信，兩黨都能接受的計劃最終一定會出臺。然而這次，我們不能指望事情就能就此了結--因為這一次到來的蕭條非比尋常，我們的經濟從根本上說也已經不健康。這一

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。

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.

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。考試內容涉及政治、經濟、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。考試的評分標準非常細化，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。

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?！奥牨妗笔强谧g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
