第一篇：高口材料1

1.甲流The Ministry of Health(MOH)yesterday vowed to punish officials who underreport the H1N1 flu pandemic following criticism from a prominent medical expert who cast doubt on China's official death toll from the disease.Some medical experts have wondered aloud whether the country's H1N1 data matches the reality.They pointed to limitations in medical capacity and the fact that hospitals are not testing everyone with flu symptoms for H1N1 as reasons why the outbreak may have been underreported.But Zhong Nanshan, a Guangzhou-based doctor famous for his candor in exposing a cover-up of the SARS epidemic in 2003, took concerns a step further, suggesting some local governments had deliberately concealed suspected cases.“I just don't believe that there have been 53 H1N1 deaths nationwide,” Zhong told the Southern Metropolis Daily.He said the number could be far higher.The MOH reported that there had been 69,160 H1N1 cases on the mainland as of Monday.In the article, Zhong said some parts of the countrywere not testing severe pneumonia deaths to see if they were, in fact, H1N1 deaths.MOH spokesman Deng Haihua responded by saying that anyone found concealing, underreporting or delaying the reporting of details about the pandemic would be punished.Deng also invited the public and the media to oversee the transparent and timely reporting of the H1N1 situation.Vivian Tan, press officer with the World Health Organization's(WHO)Beijing office, said WHO staff are not able to say whether claims of deliberate underreporting at the local level are accurate.“We know the MOH has been urging local health authorities to report H1N1 cases in a transparent way and we do not suspect deliberate underreporting from the ministry,” she noted.She suggested that the country should focus its resources on monitoring bigger trends and unusual developments, as well as treating severe cases and continuing the vaccination of as many people as possible.Meanwhile, nine special teams of MOH officials have been sent to 12 provincesto inspect local pandemic control work, particularly the treatment of severe cases.Questions:What is Zhong Nanshan famous for?What is Zhong Nanshan worried about?What did the MOH decide to do in response to the accusations?

Answers:

1.Exposing a cover-up of the SARS epidemic in 2003.2.Some local governments had deliberately concealed suspected cases of H1N1.3.Vowed to punish anyone found concealing, underreporting or delaying the reporting of details about the pandemic.相關的With a new H1N1 influenza virus spreading around the world, governments in many countries have revived advertisements entreating people to observe personal hygiene.The next time you cough or sneeze, there is good reason to cover your mouth.眼下一種新型的H1N1流感病毒正在全球廣泛傳播，很多國家的政府紛紛重新打出廣告，提醒人們注意個人衛生。今后你咳嗽或打噴嚏時，就有充分的理由捂住嘴了。

第二篇：網友高口口試經驗匯總

回憶為高口拼搏的日子（作者：yingxuan1985）

高口和中口相比，除了內容更偏政治化和整體難度加大外，一個顯著的特點是每段翻譯的篇幅加長了，因此筆記至關重要，這也是令大多數人頭疼的地方。在這一方面我覺得Jason 和Vicky的講解很到位，大家上課要認真聽，回去后多花些時間揣摩和歸納，找到一種最適合你的方式。畢竟筆記符號和技巧這東西沒有一個固定的格式。但在這里我有一點要提醒大家，筆記固然重要，但千萬不能因此而影響聽，否則就得不償失了。尤其是一些細節的東西，大可不必拘泥，抓住整體中心更為重要。

接著，我想談一談關于復習資料的選用問題。口譯教程無疑是非常重要的！可以這么說吧，如果這本書不好好看的話，那想過高口幾乎是不可能的。書中的重點科目，例如改革開放，經濟全球化和國際政治等話題，一定要非常熟練。另外就是梅德明的兩本口譯實踐。聽Jason說，考試的題目有很多都是從這兩本書里挑選出來的，所以大家有時間最好過一遍。（英譯漢更重要些）第三份復習資料就是領導人講話和當前熱點話題。口試時間是每年的5月和11月，所以大家要關注下在2，3月份和9，10月份有哪些重要領導人做了全球講話，把講話的中，英文稿過一遍。我今年五月考口試時，有兩段英譯中是有關能源問題的。而在今年2月，賴斯曾發表了全球能源危機的講話。可見，高口考試已經越來越貼近生活。至于我之前提到的熱點話題，就要求大家平時做個有心人了，但我認為，有關奧運會和世博會的內容在近期會是重點。

很多人都認為第一部分的口語只是個過場，對最終成績毫無影響。其實不然。口語的發揮將在很大程度上決定考官對你口譯部分的評判松緊。我能一次過口試，也得益于當時的Topic講得不錯，考官一邊聽一邊對我頻頻點頭。所以，我建議大家在試前準備幾個用詞相對華麗的百搭型開頭語段。這既能向考官展現良好的英語素養，留個好印象；又能擴充口語時間，緩解緊張情緒。可謂一舉多得！

說過了口語，再來談一談口譯的臨場表現技巧。說實話，就我們目前的水平，是不可能把每個詞都聽得清楚的，所以遇到生詞，千萬別慌。在把握大意中心的基礎上，對沒聽清的地方做合理猜測是完全可行的。表達一定要流利，有氣勢。在這點上，我因為從小學到大學就一直代表學校參加各類演講比賽，使我能夠在考官面前始終表現得自信，這倒是為我最終通過加了分。

6月份，當我拿到高口證書的時候，身邊同學全都羨慕不已。但我心里清楚，這薄薄的一張紙凝結了多少心血！從3月到5月的2個月中，我每天在高口上花5，6個小時，有時老師在上面講課，我會在底下把他的話翻英語。室友們都開玩笑說我走火入魔了，我也笑著回答說：燕鵲安知鴻鵠之志哉！最痛苦的是在五一節的前夕，當時外地生逃回老家，上海生也有好多溜回家，自習教室空蕩得很。我清楚地記得，4月29日那晚，教學大樓的某間教室里居然只有我一人在那看書。說真的，自己當時覺得很孤獨很可憐，甚至有種想哭的沖動！所以，我想對大家說，雖然我不否認，高口絕對有運氣成分在里頭，但踏踏實實地付出是必不可少的。在你羨慕他人的時候，請問一問自己，我是否也能忍受背后的那份枯燥和寂寞呢！最后，我希望大家都能朝著目標努力，并衷心祝愿各位順利通過考試。

我的口試體會（作者：乘風而行）

我這次口譯的準備持續了兩個月有余。由于工作和生活的壓力，我在這兩個月內真是竭盡全力，盡量將為數不多的時間都利用起來。3月初到4月初這個階段基本上是調整狀態、搜集資料、學習課文的過程，4月份開始過渡到練習為主。

1《英語口譯筆記法實戰指導》兩年前就買了，也大體瀏覽了一遍。這次的準備工作也是從這本書入手。這本書作為筆記法的教程是比較合適的。一是本身內容深入淺出，配有大量的練習，可以看到作者的確是花了一番功夫；二是素材也比較切合口譯考試的實踐。強烈推薦需要提高筆記的同學看看這本書。2 由于我的發音實在太差，我花了很多的時間尋找解決辦法，也的確尋找到一些改進的辦法。剛開始主要的精力放在學習課本上面。由于我不是科班出身，漢英部分對我產生了很大的壓力，消耗了我大量的精力。課本和漢英實踐部分我都作為視譯的材料過了一遍。買了昂立的saybot軟件，260大洋。現在看看這個軟件沒有多少價值，但當時，的確起了很大作用。它對我的作用體現在讓我開了口，從學習過渡到練習。其次，它的15個單元比起課本的單元，更加容易讓人上手。花幾天時間練習了一遍之后，頓時對口譯考試范圍有了胸有成竹的感覺。當然這個軟件對我找出我發音的弱點也有一定幫助。這個軟件對于英語專業的同學，或者上過輔導班的同學應該意義不大。

這里談談我對口譯課本的認識。這個課本作為教科書，應該說具有相對的權威性，這點我不敢否認。但從應試和練習的角度，這本書有很大局限性。一是雖然作者將課文分成15個單元，但卻沒有深入地提煉出模板句。這個是造成“熟背課文也未必能過口譯，而正常人類基本不可能熟背課文”的重要原因。二是15個單元的劃分貌試科學，但內容卻驚人地重復、交*。例如同樣是中美之間的關系，從不同的角度在不同的單元出現了無數詞。同學們如果不能跳出課本將這些篇章聯系、對比，勢必會事倍功半。三是漢英口譯的答案居然不提供英文錄音，實在不方便同學復習、記憶。因為教材不同于一般的練習材料，需要多次復習，才能逐步吸收消化再提高。復習的時候聽聽英文錄音效率其實最高。四是排版方式實在不方便學習和復習。對于第二點和第四點，我想出了個辦法：把所有我覺得有價值的漢英文章及其答案都復印出來，然后剪切并且粘貼在A3紙上，一般的，一個單元需要兩張A3，這兩張紙再粘在一起。然后所有單元可以掛在墻上或者平鋪在圖書館的桌子上，整本課文一目了然，效率成倍提高。后來我又把口譯實踐這本書的段落視譯部分作類似處理。新東方的口試備考精要編得一般。作為練習的第一階段，我把這本書的中級部分練習并學習了一遍，飽受打擊。高級部分基本都來自漢英口譯實踐，考試前兩天批量地過了一遍。《考前熱身》這本書內容比較簡單，大體練習了一遍，增強了不少信心。5月2號3號去了趟上海，聽了lingobingo的沖刺班。收獲非常大。沖刺班最大的價值在于有老師指導下集中練習。準備口譯考試學習10個小時，不如練習半個小時。口譯是說出來、練出來的，不是學出來、想出來的。5月之后狀態很差，基本上就只把歷年真題過了一遍，把《備考精要》非常粗地過了一遍。期間有兩次口譯實踐，一次是一個愛爾蘭學者來做講座，由于涉及專業術語較多，我就自己上了。他的發音非常標準，聽起來很舒服。我用口譯的筆記方法，很輕松地記下他的講話。基本上每次都讓他講上個3、5分鐘，把一個點講完再譯。譯完之后反響很好。另外一次是參加中印經貿洽談會，阿三的發音讓我飽受打擊。

總結：

1）口譯的成績取決于練習量，一定要想方設法多練習

2）口譯培訓班還是比較有效的，其有效不僅體現在口譯技能和知識（例如模板句）的傳授上，更主要的是提供練習的機會。lingobingo大班教育、小班練習的模式應該很有效

3）高級口譯不高級，要做職業譯員，高口只能算基本要求

4）高口難的還是在英譯漢部分，漢英部分難在文化和旅游這方面，但近些年出現頻率不高。

高分經驗談（作者：曹玙）

先介紹一下我參加考試的背景。我報了2005年2月的上海新東方高口寒假班，參加的是2005年9月秋季的高口考試。我的情況有點特殊，因為我在北京讀大學，所以兩次考試都是周五趕回上海周日又趕回北京上學，時間非常緊張，成本也非常高（也可能是因為這個原因才刺激我口試要一次通過的吧，呵呵），我覺得一鼓作氣會比較好，所以筆試通過以后直接報了11月的口試，結果很幸運的第一次就通過了：）

現在我可以懷里揣著高口證書大談特談考試經驗了，因為我成功了。可是在當時，我也是七上八下一點沒底的。不過事實說話，我想我這里可能會有一些成功的經驗，不妨寫出來和大家一起分享^_^先說說平時吧，總結一下有以下幾點：

1、強迫自己養成閱讀英語讀物的習慣。如果對生硬的英語報紙沒有興趣，可以先從英語的休閑讀物開始，比如說《瘋狂英語》什么的，不過最后還是要花一些時間看看英語的評論和時事新聞；

2、從聽說讀寫多個方面入手。平時可以看英文電影、聽英文歌曲培養自己的語感，同時可以跟著臺詞或者歌詞自己念叨念叨（覺得傻的話就照周圍沒有人的時候練習），長此以往一定有用！

3、寶寶老師推薦了一個方法，就是被新概念第二冊的課文。新概念第二冊的課文都是短小精悍的，要求不多爭取每天背一篇，但是一定要滾瓜爛熟，就是背起來不能有停頓。我自己嘗試著背了幾篇，效果蠻好的，可惜沒有堅持下去?_?

臨考前一個月是沖刺階段，這段時間非常重要，我也可以介紹一下我的方法。

1、聽力的準備。這部分對我來說是最難的，我也花了最多的時間。主要的方法是聽寫VOA、BBC等短篇的英語新聞，基本上是一天做一篇，材料可以在網上下載最近的新聞，China Daily和很多論壇上都有比較新的材料。聽寫完后一定要和原文對照，再聽兩遍找出自己出錯的原因，是聽不清還是單詞拼寫還是同音異義，量不要大但是每聽寫完一次都爭取有提高。

2、閱讀的準備。這部分我認為應該以單詞的積累為主，夏菁老師教了我們不少有用的提高閱讀速度和獲取有效信息的方法，如找準主題句、數字和大寫定位等等。這些都要在做以前的真題的過程中加以磨練，直到使之成為一種習慣，因為高口的閱讀速度是第一位的。同時，要積累一些常用詞匯和高口熱門話題的專業詞匯，這樣才能保證閱讀的速度和效率。

3、翻譯的準備。新東方的小新老師推薦了不少不錯的翻譯網站，我常去的是的英語學習板塊和, 因為那里兼顧了時事英語和英語翻譯。平時可以有意的找一些新聞報道來翻譯，200字左右的，翻譯完后保存起來過三天在回過來進行回譯，這樣對翻譯水平的提高很有好處。

再說說口試吧。口試最重要的就是多開口勤練。在練習過程中要注意盡量模擬考試現場的流程，最后能有一個陪練充當錄音機，沒有的話要充分利用MP3一類的錄音工具。網上也有一些真題，可以留一部分到最后沖刺的時候進行練習。另外，心態很關鍵，只要流暢就行而不要求字字對應，臨考試保持適度的緊張（聽說這樣可以刺激分泌什么激素）但不要過量。我記得我當時中譯英時的一段錄音材料特別長，有七八句話，我當時就急了，心想怎么還不完還不完，幸好急歸急，手頭的記錄一直沒停，現在想來，口試一次能過實在是很幸運啊，呵呵。

我的高口之路（作者：王滿）

英語學習一直是我的興趣所在。語言之美在我眼中充滿無窮魅力。自孩提時代起我就一直夢想有朝一日能熟練掌握數國語言，游歷于不同民族國界，充當文化使者。因此，我毫不猶豫地報名參加了上海高級口譯資格證書考試，把它看成是對自身英語水平的挑戰，同時也為將來可能從事的我所喜愛的口譯工作打下基礎。2005年9月，我步入高口筆試考場；11月初，準備充分的我又自信地踏進設在上海外國語大學內的口試考場。一個月后，我毫不意外地在網上看到自己的名字排在通過口試的考生之列。我微笑著對自己說：“只要敢于挑戰并付出努力，沒有什么辦不到。高口不是一道坎，一次通過口試也并非難事。”當然，在挑戰高口的過程中，上海新東方的口譯老師們給我提供了莫大幫助。

2005年上半年，我就打定主意參加下半年的高口考試，并且把目標定為速戰速決，一次性通過筆試和口試。由于學期內課程較忙無暇備考，而考試又在新學期之初，暑假便成了我唯一能充分利用的一段時間。為了使自己的準備更系統，效率更高，并掌握恰當的應試技巧，我聽取好多同學的建議報名參加了上海新

東方暑期GY041高口培訓班，得以有幸獲得夏菁、郭中寶、張馳新、王聰聰四位老師的指導，從而為我能順利地一次通過高口打下了基礎。新東方口譯老師給我留下的深刻印象可以主要用兩個詞概括：激情、博學。每個老師永遠是出現時精神煥發，出口便振奮人心，講課時活力四射；嚴謹而不失幽默，談笑間飽含睿智。在他們的帶領下，原本枯燥的習題講解變得饒有趣味，酷暑里集中轟炸式訓練也不再難耐。夏老師頗有學者風范，堪稱博學之士，總能在講解題目的同時補充很多相關知識和背景材料，在方便理解記憶的同時擴大家的知識面；寶寶（昵稱）就是個大男孩，活潑風趣，一口模仿各國不同英語發音的本事令人叫絕，可教起聽力技巧來卻一點不含糊；小新總是能將翻譯課上得滿堂歡聲笑語，總結的常用詞匯更是大有幫助，考試命中率不俗；聰聰則會挖空心思給大家提供一展身手的機會，她的鼓勵更是讓人信心倍增。我想就是她那句“你很有譯員的素質”讓我能自信而又從容地踏進考場。在新東方的20天里，我不僅為口譯考試作好了準備，更在聽力、閱讀、翻譯等方面全面提高了英語水平。可以說，上海新東方使我登上了英語學習的更高平臺。

下面我就愿意與大家分享一下我的高口考試心得。首先是筆試準備階段。在這一階段我把聽力當成備考重點，加大訓練。高口配套的聽力教材我完整地聽過兩遍，第一遍時做書上對應習題，第二遍時將Talk和Interview用來練習速記，這樣對聽力中的Note-taking & Gap-filling以及口試中的速記都會有提高。另外,聽完兩遍對教材各段錄音的內容都有了大致了解,一旦筆試聽譯部分考到教材中內容就比較有把握。閱讀方面的提高主要緣自新東方老師提供的一些技巧，比如關鍵詞句前后的一兩句話往往是對這一詞或句的解釋；文章精讀前三段等。翻譯方面我采取的策略是記憶一些常用詞匯和有用句式，臨場發揮盡量簡單明了，在保證譯文正確的前提下再考慮詞句的文雅。值得一提的是，真題練習非常有益，準備階段要認真對待每一套真題，用考試的標準要求自己，在規定時間內實戰練習，這樣能訓練出合理的速度和正確率。在做完幾套真題以后可以總結一下出現次數比較多的生詞、詞組和難懂的句式，以便重點記憶。筆試考場上要保持沉著、冷靜；在長得眼花繚亂的閱讀文章面前要不慌不忙、靜下心來。準備充分的同學若能做到這兩點過筆試應該不是問題。

接下來就是口試準備階段。從筆試結束后我就開始準備口試，而不是等到筆試成績公布，一方面是比較有信心，另一方面是為口試準備爭取更多時間。個人認為口試的關鍵在于速記和詞組的掌握。我在筆試結束后的這一個多月里堅持每天都做速記練習，材料用的是高口口試模擬題和真題，這樣比較有針對性，難度也與考試相仿。另外，高級口譯教程也必然要熟讀。有些人說考高口只要把口譯教程中的文章背出來即可，但我不贊成這種觀點。首先，背書工程量浩大，而書中譯文未必符合口譯現實，所以沒有背的必要；其次，若是靠背死書通過考試則實際口譯能力還是沒有提高，一旦置身于現實口譯環境就會無所適從。我主張記關鍵詞組而非背誦長句甚至段落。我在準備時就只是背熟書中每單元整理的詞匯，輔以文章中常出現的自己不熟的詞組。在翻譯時用自己的語言，即簡單明了的句子架構將關鍵詞匯連結起來即可，不必追求如教科書中所用的一些過于復雜的句式和文雅的翻譯。畢竟，口譯不同于筆譯。當然，國際關系和其他政治方面的詞句往往有固定翻譯，這些就只能背誦而沒有其他捷徑了。

最后，在口試考場上的表現也至關重要。聽聰聰老師講過，由于口試采取與考官面對面的方式，考官的主觀印象多少會影響到考試成績。所以在考試之前可以先準備幾種比較精彩的句式或開頭，供口語部分套用，使考官一開始就對我們的英語水平留下較好印象。在口譯部分，表現得自信、反應得迅速、翻譯得連貫非常重要。要盡量在錄音結束后3秒內就開口翻譯，控制語速使自己在有限的規定時間內把速記的內容盡可能完全的表達出來。萬一遇到來不及記錄或一時回想不起所記符號含義時可以采取結合上下文猜測發揮的辦法，盡量使表達完整順暢。當然，口譯的基礎還在于筆記，所以就必須在備考階段熟練掌握速記符號和技巧，并不斷通過訓練培養筆記與腦記的協調。

以上是我新東方學習備考高口的一些經驗，希望能對廣大即將參加高口考試或有意向參加的同學有所幫助。現在回想起自己從刻苦備戰到順利過關的這段高口旅途，我想說：有目標，有毅力，有信心就會有成功！

第三篇：高口篇章閱讀答題秘訣

1． 有舍有得

從題型上來看10道題中有的題型是比較容易拿分的，每篇文章都會有這幾種題型，希望同 學們先保住著幾道題的分數，10道題目里有7道題可以拿到較高的分數，可見還是有很大

爭分空間的。

What is…? Please describe…這種題型往往是每篇文章的第一題，得分。因此這種題目要先做，保住分數。

What is the attitude of sb….?這屬于作者態度題，多出現在議論文中，只要在文章中找到

人名，對觀點作出總結即可拿分。

Why did the author mention…at the beginning of the passage?這種提問方式我們做一下總

結，這屬于例子證明型題目，難度中等。在做題時首先要明確所有的例子都是為了證明中心 和觀點，所以要重點關注“例子”前后句話，特別是有概括性的句子往往就是答案。

2． 會的不求全

在這10道題目中有兩種題型難度是很大的：

Give a brief summary of…這種題型考察對原文信息的總結能力，答案往往橫跨2-3段，甚至4-5段，總體得分在2-3分之間，回答全面不容易，所以針對這種題型希望同學們抓中

心點，不求全，不要浪費過多的時間。

Please paraphrase the sentence…句子釋義題，總的來說難度較大，得分率較低，兩極分

化現象嚴重，一半考生只得1分，部分考生能拿3-4分。答題的技巧是：找到句子所在的段

落，找到所要paraphrase句子前后的意思。切忌脫離原文，主觀臆斷。

3． 不會的不留空

What can be concluded from…這種題型屬于推斷題，考察考生在對文章理解的基礎之上

并作推斷的能力，也要擺個樣式，至少能得1分。有大約10%-20%的同學最后三道題都是空白，這會直接導

致扣分。就是寫上This sentence could be interpreted as….,只要寫完，這樣一句完整的話，1 分入賬。所以無論時間有多緊，都不要留空，而且答案盡量保持在3-4行，字跡工整漂亮很

沾光。

4.忌主觀臆斷，憑空概括回答

另一個解題技巧是忌主觀臆斷，憑空概括回答。提問問題所在的段落往往能找到答案，很多

考生繞了大彎子去說，結果費力不討好，答不到點子上，所以如果文章中有現成的答案，盡

量不要費力自己去說。

5”抄”

下一個同學們很關心的問題就是“照抄會扣分么？”按照考綱的要求照抄是要扣分的，據閱卷的經驗來說，照抄是不會扣分的，因為閱卷老師手中的答案是以“關鍵點”給出的，閱

卷時踩點給分。

師手中的答案的吻合，“抄”是必不可少的，而且閱卷老師也不會去看原文，或去分析你的答

案。在這種情況下，用自己的話去說，或靠自己的理解paraphrase往往還會失分。所以建議

大家找到定位就趕快抄，肯定句改為雙重否定句，把一些自己說不出來的詞替換掉等等。

希望參加2011年3月份高口考試的同學把1003、0909、0903和0809四套題的SAQ題目拿

出來，按照上面的套路仔細完成，熟悉了套路和文章結構就可以做到以不變應萬變，任何的題目都會應對自如的。

Disparaging comments by adults about a children?s presenter have led to an angry backlash in support of Cerrie Burnell, the 29-year-old CBeebies host who was born missing the lower section of her right arm.One man said that he would stop his daughter from watching the BBC children?s channel because Burnell would give his child nightmares.Parents even called the broadcaster to complain after Burnell, with Alex Winters, took over the channel?s popular Do and Discover slot and The Bedtime Hour programme last month, to complain about her disability.And some of the viiriolic comments on the “Grown Up” section of the channel?s website were so nasty that they had to be removed.“Is it just me, or does anyone else think the new woman presenter on CBeebies may scare the kids because of her disability?” wrote one adult on the CBeebies website.Other adults claimed that their children were asking difficult questions as a result.“I didn?t want to let my children watch the filler bits on The Bedtime Hour last night because I know it would have played on my eldest daughter?s mind and possibly caused sleep problems,” said one message.The BBC received nine other complaints by phone.While charities reacted angrily to the criticism of the children?s presenter, calling the comments disturbing, other parents and carers labeled the remarks as disgraceful, writing in support of Burnell and setting up a “fight disability prejudice” page on the social networking site Facebook.“I think that it is great that Cerrie is on CBeebies.She is an inspiration to children and we should not underestimate their ability to understand and accept that all of us have

differences—some visible and some not,” wrote “Surfergirlboosmum”.Other websites were flooded with equally supportive comments.“I feel we should all post counter complaints to the BBC and I?m sure they will receive more complaints about the fact they have even considered accepting these complaints,” wrote Scott Tostevin on Facebook.“It?s a disgrace that people still have such negative views against people who are ?different?”, he added.Burnell, who described her first television presenting role as a “dream job”, has also appeared in EastEnders and Holby City and has been feted for performances in the theatre while also worked as a teaching assistant at a special needs school in London.She also has a four-year-old child.“I think the negative comments from those few parents are indicative of a wider problem of disabled representation in the media as a whole, which is why it?s so important for there to be more disabled role models in every area of the media,” she said in response yesterday.“The support that I?ve received...has been truly heartening.It?s brilliant that parents are able to use me as a way of talking about disability with their children and for children who are similarly disabled to see what really is possible in life and for their worlds to be represented in such a positive, high profile manner.”

Charities said that much still needed to be done to change perceptions in society.“In some way it is a pretty sad commentary on the way society is now and that both parents and children see few examples of disabled people.The sooner children are exposed to disability in mainstream education the better,” said Mark Shrimpton at Radar, the UK?s largest disability campaigning organisation.“She is a role model for other disabled people.”

Rosemary Bolinger, a trustee at Scope, a charity for people with cerebral palsy, said: “It is disturbing that some parents have reacted in this way...Unfortunately disabled people are generally invisible in the media and wider society.”

【內容概要】BBC著名兒童節目主持人Cerrie Burnell遭到許多孩子家長污蔑性的言論，甚

至有些言論過于尖刻，以致于網站不得不將其刪除。然而不全是反對聲，還有家長非常贊成與肯定Cerrie Burnell的能力，認為他激勵了許多孩子，并為改善社會弱勢群體的處境做出

了自己最大的貢獻，使弱勢群體受到更多的關注與關心。

1.Who is Cerrie Burnell? Give a brief introduction of Cerrie Burnell.解析：此題為細節題。一般這類文章在一開始就會介紹文章的主人公，這篇文章就是這樣。

注意以下句子：Cerrie Burnell, the 29-year-old CBeebies host who was born missing the lower section of her right arm./ Parents even called the broadcaster to complain after Burnell, with Alex Winters, took over the channel?s popular Do and Discover slot and The Bedtime Hour programme last month./ She also has a four-year-old child.參考答案：Cerrie Burnell is a 29-year-old CBeebies host who was born disabled with her lower section of her right arm.She is a mother of a four-year-old child.She, together with Alex Winters, presided over the channel?s popular Do and Discover slot and The Bedtime Hour programme last month.She is now facing abusive comments from parents.2.What are the responses from parents and carers towards Cerrie Bumell? What is the reaction from charities to such criticism?

解析：本題的解題的關鍵在于理解哪些群體是非常支持肯定Cerrie Bumell的，哪些是非常

厭惡和討厭的。

Bumell進行節目主持的，而charities是及其Cerrie Bumell這個人的，因為她不但是孩子們的榜樣，關注。

參 考 答 案 ：Parents and carers called the broadcaster to complain about her disability.Some complaints were so vitriolic and nasty that they had to be removed.While charities reacted angrily to the criticism of the children?s presenter, calling the comments disturbing, other parents and carers labelled the remarks as disgraceful, writing in support of Burnell and setting up a “fight disability prejudice” page on the social networking site Facebook.What is Cerrie Burnell?s own view about job as a television presenter?

解析：解答此題需要關注細節。Cerrie Burnell自己對于電視主持人的看法，需要從她自己的言語中才能得到體現。她有自己堅定的信念，即使受到了那么多言語侮辱，但她并沒有過于

在意，群體的漠視所造成的。

參考答案：

her first television presenting role as a “dream job”.She thought the negative comments from those few parents are indicative of a wider problem of disabled representation in the media as a whole, which is why it?s so important for there to be more disabled role models in every area of the media.Questions 6-10（2010.03 中口閱讀）

Many trees in the Brackham area were brought down in the terrible storms that March.The town itself lost two great lime trees from the former market square.The disappearance of such prominent features had altered the appearance of the town centre entirely, to the annoyance of its more conservative inhabitants.Among the annoyed, under more normal circumstances, would have been Chief Inspector Douglas Pelham, head of the local police force.But at the height of that week?s storm, when the winds brought down even the mature walnut tree in his garden, Pelham had in fact been in no fit state to notice.A large and healthy man, he had for the first time in his life been seriously ill with an attack of bronchitis.When he first complained of an aching head and tightness in his chest, his wife, Molly, had tried to persuade him to go to the doctor.Convinced that the police force could not do without him, he had, as usual, ignored her and attempted to carry on working.Predictably, though he wouldn?t have listened to anyone who tried to tell him so, this has the effect of fogging his memory and shortening his temper.It was only when his colleague, Sergeant Lloyed, took the initiative and drove him to the doctor?s door that he finally gave in.By that time, he didn?t have the strength left to argue with her.In no time at all, she was taking him along to the chemist?s to get his prescribed antibiotics and then home to his unsurprised wife who sent him straight to bed.When Molly told him, on the Thursday morning, that the walnut tree had been brought down during the night, Pelham hadn?t been able to take it in.On Thursday evening, he had asked weakly about damage to the house, groaned thankfully when he heard there was none, and pulled the sheets over his head.It wasn?t until Saturday, when the antibiotics took effect, his temperature dropped and he got up, that he realised with a shock that the loss of the walnut tree had made a permanent difference to the appearance of the living-room.The Pelhams? large house stood in a sizeable garden.It had not come cheap, but even so Pelham had no regrets about buying it.The leafy garden had created an impression of privacy.Now, though, the storm had changed his outlook.Previously, the view from the living-room had featured the handsome walnut tree.This has not darkened the room because there was also a window on the opposite wall, but it had provided interesting patterns of light and shade that disguised the true state of the worn furniture that the family had brought with them from their previous house.With the tree gone, the room seemed cruelly bright, its worn furnishings exposed in all their

shabbiness.And the view from the window didn?t bear looking at.The tall house next door, previously hidden by the tree, was now there, dominating the outlook with its unattractive purple bricks and external pipes.It seemed to have a great many upstairs windows, all of them watching the Pelhams? every movement.“Doesn?t it look terrible?” Pelham croaked to his wife.But Molly, standing in the doorway, sounded more pleased than dismayed.“That?s what I?ve been telling you ever since we came here.We have to buy a new sofa, whatever it costs.” 【文章概述】

【題目解析】

6.Why were some people in Brackham annoyed after the storm?(A)(A)The town looked different.(B)The police had done little to help.(C)No market could be held.(D)Fallen trees had not been removed.【定位】定位詞Brackham,因為下一題中有明確定位在the third paragraph,根據中口出題順

序和行文順序保持一致的規律，可以判斷答案應該在第一或第二段，而annoyed這個詞的要

留心在段落里可能會有相對應派生詞的出現，由此可以發現答案出處在第一段最后一句： The disappearance of such prominent features had altered the appearance of the town centre entirely, to the annoyance(對應題干中的annoyed)of its more conservative inhabitants.【判斷】選項主要信息點抓取A.town—different;B.police—helpless;C.market—cant be held;D.fallen trees—not removed.可以發現四個選項的著重點都不同，根據之前的定位，可以發

現句子里唯一出現的信息點只有town（alter=change，change意味不同）

7.What do we learn about Chief Inspector Pelham and his work, from the third paragraph?(B)(A)He found his work extremely annoying.(B)He was sure that he fulfilled a vital role in his work.(C)He considered the police systems not efficient.(D)He did not trust the decisions made by his superiors.【定位】 的職業是警察。

not do without him, he had, as usual, ignored her and attempted to carry on working.【判斷】

work(vital=important);C.policy system—inefficient;D.he—decision—superiors；從定位的句

子里：convinced=for sure, could not do without him,表示肯定，與選項B吻合

8.When Inspector Pelham?s wife first told him about the walnut tree, he appeared to be __D_____.(A)worried(B)shocked(C)saddened(D)uninterested

【定位】定位詞：walnut tree(定位詞選擇：num.>A.>t.>n.),按照出題順序（上一題是定位第三段，本題的答案應出現在之后的段落中首先出現walnut tree的地方）

When Molly told him, on the Thursday morning, that the walnut tree had been brought down during the night, Pelham hadn?t been able to take it in.【判斷】Pelham hadn?t been able to take it in是答案，take in: pay attention to and understand,所

以與not take in相吻合的答案只有D。

9.As a result of the storm, the Pelhams? living-room ___B____.(A)was pleasantly lighter(B)felt less private(C)had a better view(D)was in need of repair

【定位】定位詞：living-room(理由同上)，先定位到第7段，根據題干信息“as a result of the storm”,可見，答案的要求是暴風雨以后，所以不是出自“previously”的第7段,而是在第8 段“with the tree gone”里

【判斷】

(負)； 章 信 息 ：bright與light對應，cruelly與pleasantly不對應；the view didn?t bear looking at,不是better view,而是“不堪入目”；而D選項相對應句子：its worn furnishings

exposed in all their shabbiness只是告訴我們家具殘舊，是事實存在，并沒有因為暴風雨需要

重新裝修；“all of them watching the Pelhams? every movement”與答案B相吻合

10.From what we learn of Inspector Pelham, he could best be described as ___D____.(A)open-minded(B)well-liked(C)warm-hearted(D)strong-willed 【判斷】此題為推斷題，判斷人物性格，從第8題的答案uninterested，和第7題的定位句

和出現過的信息點，唯一符合答案的只有D選項

20005年關鍵詞

倉皇撤退（cut and run）

隨著伊拉克沖突拖的時間越來越長，有關戰爭的詞匯也發生了變化。到明年3月份，這場戰斗就滿三年了，所有的人都不知道接下來會出現什么情況。那些希望部隊趕快撤回來的人講一些聽上去令人寒心而又武斷的行話，諸如“時間表”和“基準”等。那些不那么急于讓部隊撤回來的人似乎采用眼下最刻薄的詞匯嘲笑那些大談撤軍的人：“倉皇撤退”。

卡倫·希爾森達格的兒子戰死在伊拉克沙場。她說：“現在，人們經常聽到?倉皇撤退?這個詞，我認為這意味著放棄和丟失。”

然而，這些激烈的言辭反而把她搞糊涂了。離開伊拉克就是放棄那里的人民，并且不把她兒子等2100多名士兵作出的犧牲當回事嗎？或者呆著不走只會使暴力行動變得更加嚴重嗎？ 她說：“我認為這是一個嚴重的問題。我不知道什么是真實情況、什么只是嘴上說說而已。” 在軍隊里也有一套完全不同的語言。日常會話中混雜著咒罵的詞匯、首字母縮寫詞和不敏感的代名字。例如，在伊拉克服役的布賴恩·特納說，他所在的部隊用“阿里巴巴”指代叛亂分子，就像：“你看到附近有阿里巴巴嗎？” 形象的泡沫（froth）

艾倫·格林斯潘在擔任美聯儲主席的18年時間里，因為擅長一句話長達50個字而著稱。對于這樣的長句，人們幾乎不可能理清其含意。不過，他偶爾也會說出一個看來切中美國經濟問題的詞語。

今年5月，在一次演講之后，格林斯潘在回答提問時說，房地產市場“至少是有一點泡沫（froth）的”。他并非是第一個用froth表示泡沫的人，但是這個詞從他嘴里出來，立即就成了全國上下議論的話題。

這其中的魅力很簡單：這是一個有趣的詞，可以讓人聯想到嬰兒洗澡或者熱卡普契諾咖啡。但是，與另一個意思同為泡沫的詞bubble相比，froth在描述美國房地產市場的困擾時更加細致入微。在字典里，froth是指一串泡沫，而不是一個大泡沫。格林斯潘5月份強調，不存在全國范圍的房地產泡沫。這個觀點得到了多數經濟學家的認同。如果你在過去20年間在印第安納州或紐約州北部擁有一處房子，并看著它的升值只比通貨膨脹快了一點點，那么你會比許多大城市居民更能理解這個概念。

但是，格林斯潘還說，美國其他不少地方房地產價值迅速升高的現象不可能持續太久。他說：“不難看出，有許多地方泡沫。”

智能設計（intelligent design）

詞匯會進化，就連進化論懷疑者創造的詞匯也不例外。以“智能設計”（intelligent design）一詞為例，它已被達爾文的批評者使用了100多年，但直到最近才突然作為一種理念和運動備受關注。據其信徒稱，它的宗旨是解釋自然界“不可簡化的復雜性”。

總部設在西雅圖的發現學會將“智能設計”作為除自然選擇之外的另一種解釋來宣傳。該學會說，這個詞最早可能出自牛津大學的學者F·C·S·席勒，他在1897年寫道：“進化過程或許是以某種高智能的設計為指導，這種推想不可能被完全否定。”

不過，頗為矛盾的是，稱上帝為全知全能的設計者的19世紀最知名科學家之一————哈佛大學植物學家阿薩·格雷———同樣也是達爾文的堅定支持者。格雷教授是達爾文的密友，他贊同達爾文的許多觀點，在人們指責達爾文不敬神時為他辯護，還對《物種起源》一書頗有好評。《紐約時報》曾發表一篇對格雷教授1880年的著作《自然科學與宗教》的評論，稱他證明“進化論能與關于智能設計的信仰和諧共存”。

“智能設計”的理念曾被阿薩·格雷用來調和自然選擇理論與基督教神學，但現在卻被推介為達爾文理論之外的另一種可能，事實上是對達爾文理論的挑戰。什么東西變了？科學歷史學家薩拉·瓊·邁爾斯說，科學和宗教現在變得對彼此日益恐懼和戒備。

第五篇：高口2011秋季口試真題

2011年下半年口譯內部真題、考官點評及權威參考答案

2011年下半年高級口譯資格證書第二階段考試已落下帷幕，回顧今年試題及考生情況，有幾點體會與考生分享，供今后復習備考參考。

1）重視教材，領會透徹，訓練扎實。充分利用高口教程，熟悉教程內容。和歷年一樣，今年第二階段的試題均涉及高級口譯資格證書口譯教材內容，分別為第12課的中國發展（英譯中）和第9課的文化交流（中譯英）。這驗證了一句話：如果覺得題目難，很大程度上是因為對它不熟悉。如果沒有事先看過口譯書，將會很吃虧。同時，練習時不能只看書，而應做到手，耳，口三者結合。口譯將聽、寫、說三方面結合起來，所以練習時一定要注重速記和口頭翻譯的鍛煉。在練習過程中，要有意識地將自己口譯錄下來，在回放過程中尋找自己的不足。根據考生經驗，這一點對備考很有幫助。總之，妥善利用口譯教程定將助力第二階段考試。試看以下四例，尤其關注劃線部分常用結構、詞匯以及相對應的表達，這些都是考生應試過程中或多或少出現問題的部分。

例1

這個月中美兩國的學生開展了為期半個月的“美中城市學生看中國”活動。兩國學生在河北八卦嶺走訪農家，參加農村社區服務活動，互相教授英語和漢語；在北京參觀長城、故宮等景點，并就校園生活、升學、就業等主題進行交流。

這段考生總體表現較好，部分考生熟練度不夠，語法小錯誤較多。“開展”這類常規詞考生應十分熟練并常備幾個詞替換，如：launch, conduct, carry out等；“為期”因與時間短語搭配常用作前置修飾語，建議使用如譯文提供的簡單表達方式，以節約時間。專題活動、會議等名稱英語慣用語多為名詞或介詞短語，極少出現動詞結構或完整句形式，否則易出現語法錯誤。除約定俗成的專有名稱，其他地名一般按拼音譯即可。“就??問題／主題進行討論／交換意見／交流”也是口譯常用句型，須脫口而出，如：“hold talks / exchange views on issues concerning?/ on such issues as?”。

活動中，兩國學生克服語言和文化障礙，超越習俗和偏見，通過溝通和互動，結下了深厚的友誼。依依惜別之時，兩國學生彼此承諾：努力學習，健康成長，未來再相會。從兩國學生的身上，我看到了中美人民之間的深厚友誼，看到了中美關系的光明前景。

這段有的考生受中文字詞表面意義的影響過多，如“依依惜別、深厚”，譯文中式英語痕跡重；有的過于簡化，信息遺漏多，如：“健康成長”等。“克服、超越”這類近義詞應盡量用比“overcome”搭配力更強的一個詞統領，從而把重點放在并列的賓語信息上，即：“語言和文化障礙，習俗和偏見”。“通過”這類表示方法和手段的詞，可采用兩種譯法，一是用介詞短語置于句末，如：“forge?with / through / by?”。二是按原句順序譯，調換主從關系，把后半句譯成結果，如：“they communicate and interact with each other, forging?”。“惜別／告別”常用表達為“part”，不熟悉這個詞的人較多，需平時多積累。參考譯文：

This month American and Chinese students joined in a 15-day program entitled “China in the Eyes of American and Chinese City Students”.They visited farmers in Bagualing of Hebei Province, did volunteer work in rural communities and taught each other English and Chinese.They visited the Great Wall, the Forbidden City and other tourist attractions, and had discussions on topics such as campus life, admission to college and job hunting.During the program, the students went beyond language and cultural barriers, differences in customs and views, and forged friendship through communication and interaction.When it came to the time of parting, the students promised to each other that they would study hard, keep fit and meet again in the future.I see in these students the profound friendship between Chinese and American peoples and the bright prospect of Sino-U.S relations.例2

我們歷來主張中美兩國文明雖有不同，卻不相斥；雖有差異，卻能交融。中美兩國建交以來，人民之間的交往不斷擴大。兩國已締結了163對姊妹城市。去年，到中國旅游的美國人多達182萬人次，中國赴美探親、求學、經商的有54萬人次。

部分考生未透徹理解“相斥、交融”含義，或未注意中文重復結構與英文之間的轉換，譯文拖沓冗長，意義重疊。“相斥”可譯為“go against / exclude each other”，“交融”可譯為“coexist in harmony / accommodate / integrate into each other”等。“雖然”建議多使用介詞“despite”，可使語句簡短。“姊妹城市”這類詞不必死譯，其含義為“友好城市”，此句可意譯為“163 pairs of cities have built up friendly relations”。另外，基本的數字須譯得準確、迅速，免得占用太多時間，影響其他部分的翻譯。平時可多做數字練習加強。

中國人民自古以來珍惜“和為貴”、“和而不同”的價值觀。作為世界上有重要影響的大國，中美應該相互尊重、相互學習、求同存異、取長補短，為不同文明之間和諧共存、進行建設性合作樹立榜樣，為實現人類的共同發展作出貢獻。

“和為貴”、“和而不同”意思近似“和平共處、和諧而不必完全一致”，此句也可合并譯為“Chinese people have always cherished the values of peace / peaceful coexistence / coexistence in harmony”。對于 “求同存異、取長補短”這類常見詞，雖然譯法多樣，也需根據信息多少、句式長短靈活處理，合并意義重復部分（“相互學習”），可譯為：“recognize our similarities and differences, and learn from each other’s experience / draw on each other’s strength / advantages?”。“為??作出貢獻”也屬常用句型，可直譯為“contribute to / make contribution to”，也可意譯為“促進／推動”之意，如：“facilitate / propel / drive / press forward / promote”等。參考譯文：

We have always held that the Chinese and U.S.civilizations can get along with instead of repelling each other despite our differences.Since the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States, there are more extensive contacts between the two peoples, and 163 pairs of sister cities have been twinned.More than 1.82 million Americans visited China last year while 540,000 Chinese went to the States for family reunion, education or business.Since ancient times, Chinese people have treasured the values of “peace as most precious” and “harmony without uniformity.” As major countries of globa1 influence, China and the United States should respect each other and draw upon our respective strengths, seek common ground while recognizing our differences.In so doing, we can set a good example for civilizations to coexist in harmony for constructive cooperation, hence contributing to the common development of humanity.例3

Most of China’s growth over the past 30 years can be explained by high rates of investment and the movement of workers from subsistence farming to more productive use in industry.But China’s growth is not based simply on cheap labor.It also has the advantages of good infrastructure, an educated workforce, a high rate of savings available to finance investment and, most important of all, an extremely open economy.“can be explained by?”為英語常用句型，表原因，譯為“是因為??”。這句考生理解上沒問題，但表達速度略慢，對句型熟練度不夠。另外，考生對劃線部分的口譯經濟類常用詞也不夠熟悉，減慢了信息理解和處理速度；“available to?”等慣用表達在中文對應詞找得較慢，一時轉換影響不過來，整體譯文。平時訓練需注重積累，并多做、常做視譯練習，加快中、英文語言和思維轉換速度。

China has the lowest tariff protection of any developing country.Moreover, China has welcomed foreign direct investment, which has bolstered growth by increasing the stock of fixed capital and providing new technology and management know-how.Joint ventures with foreign firms produce 28 percent of China’s industrial output.As a latecomer, China does not need to reinvent the wheel, but merely to open its economy to ideas from the rich world – which it has done with great enthusiasm.本句問題與上句類似，主要是經濟類常用詞的理解和表達，另需關注英語常用的關系從句，即傳統語法所說的定語從句譯法。

參考譯文：

中國過去30年的經濟增長主要歸功于高投資率，歸功于勞動力從自給自足農業流向工業，從而提高了生產力。但中國的發展并非僅依賴廉價勞動力，它還有其他許多優勢：良好的基礎設施，教育程度較高的勞動力，可用于金融投資的高儲蓄，而最重要的是，中國的經濟極為開放。

中國的關稅保護是發展中國家中最低的。中國也歡迎外商直接投資，通過增加固定資本、引進新的技術和管理知識保持經濟增長。中國與外商建立的合資企業產值已占工業總產值的28％。作為后起之秀，中國不必重復別人走過的老路，而只需開放經濟，吸收富裕世界的理念——而這些正是中國滿懷熱情完成的事情。

例4

Napoleon left with the world his famous saying that “Let China sleep, for when she awakes she will shake the world.” He was ahead of his time, but now the dragon is certainly awake.Since 1978, when Deng Xiaoping first set his country on a path of economic reform, its GDP has grown by an average of 9.5 percent a year, three times the growth rate in the United States, and faster than in any other economy.In fact, China was the largest economy for much of the recorded history.本句除經濟類常用詞和數字、倍數的理解和表達外，還應注意中文表達地道，語句間的銜接連貫，如：“was ahead of his time”，以及關系從句“when”的譯法。Until the l5th century, China had the highest income per head and was the technological leader.But then it suddenly turned its back on the world.Its rulers imposed strict limits on international trade and tightened their control on new technology.Measured by GDP per person it was overtaken by Europe by l500.Much to the surprise of the world, China is now rejuvenating itself, making up lost ground and catching up.本句主要是熟練掌握劃線部分經濟和改革類常用詞的理解和表達，另需關注固定詞組如：“turned one’s back on”。另外，像“measured by”這類主要起語法作用的表達可直譯為“按照／根據”，也可融合在上下文里略去不譯。參考譯文：

拿破侖有句名言說，“讓中國沉睡吧！當她覺醒時，全球將為之震撼。”拿破侖是有遠見／先見之明的。如今這條巨龍顯然已覺醒。自1978年鄧小平將中國推上經濟改革之路以來，中國國內生產總值以年均9.5％的速度增長，是美國同期增長的三倍，并超過其他任何一個經濟體增長速度。事實上，有史以來大多數時間中國都是世界上最大的經濟體。

15世紀以前中國的人均收入為全世界最高，技術也處于世界領先地位。但后來突然中國閉關鎖國，統治者對國際貿易實行嚴格限制，對新技術的引進也嚴加控制。到1500年，中國人均國內生產總值已被歐洲趕超。如今令世人矚目的是，中國正在重整旗鼓、收復失地、迎頭趕上。

2）口譯話題一般中規中矩，圍繞國際關系、文化溝通、社會問題、經濟發展、教育交流、科技、旅游介紹、環保能源等幾大方面，這些經典考點大家在準備時需要熟練。口譯考試走的是大眾化路線，一般不考很專業很生僻的內容，所以不用多花時間背專業名詞和冷僻詞，應把這些時間花在練習口譯常用句型上，大家可以把教材中相關主題文章的關鍵句整理出來練熟，這樣就省去花精力看某一篇長文。以今年考題為例，涉及內容包括：亞洲經濟發展、文化差異、國際文化藝術節、大學校長演講（哈佛大學前校長勞倫斯?哈默及香港中文大學）、互聯網和電子商務、信息技術、道路交通安全、人權及人類發展（婦女權利）、旅游參觀（海南島簡介）、運動與健康（瑜珈）。資料來源大多出自北京周刊、時代雜志、經濟學家等中英文期刊和相關網站。以下選取各段中的重點、難點進行分析，注意按照不同話題類別積累如劃線部分的結構和表達。

例1

Asia’s success was the result of economic policies that encouraged business investment.It tells that domestic economic policies must continue to be geared toward building resilient and competitive economies.This requires, in particular, strengthening domestic sources of growth, including by vigorously tackling incomplete reforms in the financial and corporate sectors.It also requires pursuing policies that make economies more capable of absorbing economic shocks more easily.Next, growing regional and global interdependence requires that policy makers pay increasing attention to the international context of their decisions.A regional focus that remains open to the rest of the world holds great promise for Asia’s long-term growth.本句考生主要失誤的地方是劃線詞語和句型的表達，如：“be geared toward, corporate sectors”，雖算不上完全陌生，但因平時自己使用不多，看到或聽到時僅滿足于大致理解，因此出現理解慢半拍，表達詞窮的現象。另外，最后一句中的關系從句以及短語“holds great promise”也是給考生造成困難的部分，訓練時這類句型要多關注，不斷進行中、英文轉換。參考譯文：

亞洲的成功是奉行鼓勵商業投資的經濟政策的結果。亞洲的成功表明，國內經濟政策必須繼續朝著有利于建立靈活而有競爭力的經濟方向發展，尤其是要加強國內發展源頭，包括大力完善金融和公司部門的改革，以及奉行更容易消融震蕩的經濟政策。其次，地區和全球之間越來越相互依存，這要求決策者必須更多考慮決策的國際背景。一個面向世界的地區焦點展示了亞洲長期發展的美好前景。

例2

The published economic data is igniting fears of a serious U.S.economic downturn.However, economic recovery has come full circle.The growth propped by the US economic recovery reached its peak last year.The engines to that growth have been weakened and left almost powerless heading into the next half.Second, the US government will begin imposing more taxes on businesses.More signals are indicating a lack of growth motivation.本句一開始的“ignite”一詞就給考生理解上帶來些小麻煩，在加上對

“downturn”和“come to full circle”兩個表達理解不夠透徹，所以譯文出錯。同時因為理解鏈暫時中斷，影響到對后面幾句邏輯關聯的理解和筆記跟進。而其他如：“prop, engine, heading into the next half”等劃線詞語和結構也延緩了考生的反應速度。其實翻譯時若能選擇“避開”戰略，跳過“下半年”這部分，句子還是可以譯得比較通順的，但大多數考生糾結于聽懂或譯出每個詞句，被字詞束縛住了手腳，未能從上下文確定意義。因此以后考生需注意培養根據上下文推測詞義、句意，并按照邏輯關系把握全篇的意識。參考譯文：

已公布的經濟數據引起了對美國經濟衰退的擔憂。然而，經濟復蘇已全面來臨。由美國經濟恢復支撐的經濟增長去年已達到頂點。這一增長的動力受到削弱，因而今年下半年已呈軟弱無力之勢。其次，美國政府將增加對公司企業的征稅。更多跡象表明增長動力的疲乏。

例3

文化差異是由于地域、種族、歷史、環境，以及經濟、科學、技術水平的差異產生的。文化差異呼喚文化交流。文化差異賦予我們色彩斑斕的世界和豐富多彩的生活。差異使我們相互吸引，差異使距離拉得更近。事實上，我們已經生活在一個文化彼此交融的時代。當然，不同文化的相聚不可能永遠不發生沖突碰撞。

本句挑戰性不大，只要考生對文化類話題的基本詞匯和句型（如劃線部分所示）熟練即可，但也不可忽視語言質量，避免過多或過于低級的語法和表達錯誤。參考譯文：

Cultural differences arise from a difference in region, race, history, environment and the development of economy, science and technology, and call for cultural exchanges.They also present us a diverse world and a colourful life, reducing the geographical distances and drawing us closer.In fact, we are living at a time when different cultures are merging into each other.It is true that different cultures do not always come together without conflicts or collision.例4

很高興與各位共同參加中國上海國際藝術節。今晚的壓軸表演為藝術節劃上完美的句號。中國上海國際藝術節已連續舉辦了十一年，而且表演節目一年比一年精彩。在金融風暴肆虐下，藝術節振奮人心，讓我們深深感受到藝術之美，人生之美。此外，藝術節亦展現上海作為亞洲文化中心的魅力，提升我們的軟實力。

本句難度也不高，只是有些考生聽到“壓軸表演”以及稍微花哨一點的中文就開始頭痛，未能積極思考對策，錯失通過良機。這句完全可以避開“壓軸”，只譯“表演”，雖不精確，但至少意義接近，遠比胡譯亂譯好。“劃上完美句號”也可譯為“provide ? with / give ? a perfect ending”等。“連續十一年”還可譯成“for 11 consecutive years”。還需理解并學會繞過“一年比一年”而專注于一般比較結構。“精彩”也可譯為“wonderful, fantastic”等近義詞，不過“engaging”詞義更貼切，因含有“吸引注意力”之意。“肆虐”本為虛指，作用是加強語義，所以可以選擇不譯。“軟實力”也可理解為無形的實力，譯成“intangible strength”，甚至還可以籠統地譯成綜合實力“overall strength”，只要達意即可。高口的漢譯英部分要尤其注意“達意”的目標，避免“一葉障目”，“只見樹木，不見森林”。參考譯文：

It is a pleasure to join you for this year’s China Shanghai International Arts Festival.The performance tonight concludes the Festival with a high note.The Festival has been held for 11 years in a row, with the performances more engaging.During the current economic turmoil, the Festival has lifted our spirits, reminding us of the beauty of art and life.It also enhances Shanghai’s appeal and soft power as a cultural hub in Asia.例5

Stanford University is a university that is very open and inclusive to persons of all faiths, all races, all over the country and the world.But we still have a long way to go if we are going to get the benefits that diverse perspectives provide.We must cast our net for excellence as widely as we possibly can.There has not been a single period in Stanford’s history that it has achieved so remarkably.It is because we see the potential of what is going to come.We take the long view and increase our investment, and bring in the best scholars, let them follow their imaginations, and don’t try to direct them.In the long run, it is their knowledge that will pay off.本句主要問題是考生對“inclusive to + sb.”這個結構把握不準確，致使翻譯時思維受阻，對略帶比喻含義的“cast our net”短語意義也不很確定。至于其后的幾個劃線短語，均因中文表達不暢，一時找不到合適的對應詞而失分。從本句看，考生在學習英語的過程中也應注重中文語言能力的提高。參考譯文：

斯坦福大學是一所非常開放的大學，無論你什么信仰、種族、來自美國哪個州，或哪個國家，任何人都可以進入斯坦福大學。但如想從多元化的好處中受益，我們仍有很長一段路要走。我們必須盡可能擴大網羅天下英才的網絡。在斯坦福大學的辦學史上，從來沒有哪一時期像現在這樣取得如此令人矚目的成就。這是因為我們看到了發展的潛能，我們著眼未來，加大投資，引進一流學者，讓他們充分發揮想象力時，不去指揮他們。從長遠來看，正是這些一流學者的知識才會有價值。

On behalf of my fellow honorary graduates and myself, I wish to express our heartfelt gratitude to the University for the high honors which have been conferred on us and for the generous citations today.With its global vision and its mission to combine tradition with modernity, this university is a unique institution that makes an invaluable contribution.The University must be commended on what it has achieved.I trust that you will do your part to contribute to the development of your Alma Mater in future years.Youth is the trustee of posterity.Looking into the future, our young people should, as much as possible, prepare themselves for the exciting challenges ahead.本句較難，主要問題是不熟悉的詞匯多，考生聽到較陌生的詞時仍會習慣性停下來思考，因而錯過其他部分。如首句的“honorary”這個詞，一旦詞義理解受阻，考生似乎就自動停止，不再向前了。實際上，像“confer, citations”這些詞時都可以依據上下文猜測大致含義。很多考生把“commend”誤聽成“comment”或“recommend”，說明對英語慣用法掌握不牢固。對于像“Alma Mater”和“trustee of posterity”這種使用頻率并不很高的短語，在不確定詞義的情況下可以選擇不譯，以免出現重大錯誤，但選擇不譯時，要對譯文進行適當調整或合理補充，如：“必定會竭盡全力為未來的發展做貢獻”和“青年是未來的希望”等。參考譯文：

我謹代表其他與我一起領受榮譽學位的人士，對校方今天頒予我們這項崇高榮譽及嘉許，致以由衷的感謝。這所大學既具備國際視野，同時又將傳統性與現代性結合在一起，貢獻卓著。貴校所取得的成就值得稱頌。我深信你們他日必定會盡你們所能，為母校的發展作出貢獻，回饋母校。未來掌握在年輕人手里。展望將來，年輕人應為迎接未來令人振奮的挑戰而做好充分準備。

隨著電信技術的迅速發展，世界貿易一體化的趨勢不可逆轉。當今，以網絡技術為基礎的電子商務是一個不可或缺的貿易方式。電子商務充分利用了信息網絡技術的高科技手段，它的突出特點和優勢是：向所有交易主體提供了先進的交易模式和平等的交易機會，大大減少交易的中間環節，縮短交易時間，從而打破資源局限，提高經濟效率。

本句難度不高，關鍵依然是詞義理解和意義轉換。“不可逆轉”不一定非得譯成“irreversible”，如果不知道這個詞，或者一時想不起來，也可用其他詞替換，改句合在一起可以譯成“the integration of world trade is definite / certain”或“world trade is definitely / certainly moving towards integration”。“不可或缺”還可譯成“essential / crucial”等意義接近的表達。“交易主體”也可譯成“traders / business people”等類似表達。“中間環節”還可意譯成“steps”或合譯為“simplify the trading procedure”等。參考譯文：

Alongside the rapid development of telecommunication technologies, the trend of the integration of world trade is irreversible.Today, based on network technology, electronic commerce is an indispensable means of trade.Making full use of high technology such as information and Internet technology, E-commerce has its remarkable features and advantages.It offers all trading bodies advanced trading pattern and equal trading opportunities;it reduces intermediate links of trading and saves trading time, thus breaking the limitations on resources and improving business efficiency.例8

Every year, road traffic injuries are the leading cause of death for persons aged between 15 and 44.The estimated cost of death and injuries on the road is a staggering US$ 518 billion.We will encourage countries to implement the International Red Cross Plan of Action.We look forward to working with all concerned to find effective ways of addressing the terrible loss of life and resources which the global road traffic crisis has produced.As the old saying goes, “All roads are covered with good intentions”.Let us work together to make these intentions a reality.本句除數字仍使有些考生頭痛外，主要難點還是如何利用篇章邏輯確定常用詞在上下文中的含義，如：“concerned”或“staggering”。此外，考生應牢記，在遇到熟悉的動詞謂語出現在不熟悉的搭配中時，要依據“先賓后動”的原則，根據賓語轉化動詞表達，即先確定“good intentions”詞義及其與主語“all roads”之間的關系，然后再聯系全篇思考有什么詞可與這個含義搭配，如可譯成“道路安全需要／依賴于人們的良好愿望／善意”等。參考譯文：

道路交通傷害占所有傷害致死的四分之一。更讓人憂心的是，對15到44歲的人而言，道路交通傷害是死亡的罪魁禍首。據估計,道路致死及傷害造成的全球損失估計可高達5180億美元。我們鼓勵各國實施國際紅十字行動計劃。我們期待和有關方面合作找到有效方法，解決全球道路交通傷害所引發的重大人員和資源的損失。一句老話說的好，“所有道路都是由良好愿望鋪成。”讓我們共同努力使愿望成真。

婦委會自成立以來，制定推動婦女發展的策略，研究婦女需要，解決婦女面臨的各種問題。政府全力支持婦委會的工作，努力消除社會上對婦女的偏見。我期望能繼續與國內外的朋友保持緊密聯系，就促進婦女權益和福祉互相交流、彼此學習，延續世界婦女大會的精神，繼續致力提供有利婦女發展的環境，共同為促進兩性平等而努力。

本句整體難度并不高，都是些慣用詞和句型（如劃線部分所示，其中包括前文提到過的“就??”結構），但有些考生一聽到“婦委會”、“福祉”等詞就認定句子很難，產生放棄的念頭。口譯因討論主題較正式，內容與日常會話不同，可能略顯枯燥，考生應逐步習慣，平時無論話題內容喜歡與否，都要反復訓練，積極備戰，不可厚此薄彼，存僥幸心理，避開自己不喜歡或不擅長的主題領域。參考譯文：

Since its establishment, the Women’s Commission formulated strategies for the advancement of women development, identifying women's needs and addressing all matters of concern to women.The Government has rendered its full support to the Women's Commission and will strive to eliminate any gender bias in the society.I hope that we will continue to maintain close liaison with the friends from around the world, and to exchange and learn from each other to achieve the goal of promoting women's rights and interests.Let us build upon the spirit of the World Conference on Women, continue to foster a favorable environment for women’s development and join our hands to strive for gender equality.例10

海南是位于中國最南端的美麗島嶼。這里的熱帶海洋氣候特色非常明顯，長達1528公里的海岸線一半為沙岸。海岸線陽光充足明媚，使得游客們在一年中多數時間都可進行日光浴。歷史上的火山噴發，在海南島留下了許多死火山口。島上溫泉分布廣泛，大多屬于治療性溫泉，非常適于發展融觀光、療養、科研等為一體的旅游。來海南旅游的人們被這座迷人的海島所深深吸引，流連忘返。

本句初聽似乎有點難，但實際上大多有難點的地方都可以通過避讓或換詞的方法解決。如只譯“熱帶氣候”，避開“海洋”；用“volcanoes that are no longer active”替代“extinct volcanoes”；用“hot springs for medical purpose / for the treatment of diseases”表達“治療性溫泉”的含義。“被??所吸引”也可譯為“be enchanted by / be drawn to”；“流連忘返”還可譯成“find it hard to leave”等。

參考譯文：

Hainan, a beautiful island located at the southern tip of China, enjoys distinctively tropical maritime climate.Along the 1528-kilometer-long coastline of Hainan, the sandy beaches take about 50%.The ample and enchanting sunshine on the beaches allows the tourists to enjoy sunbathing during most time of the year.The volcanic eruptions in the history have left many extinct volcanic vents on the island.Hot springs are widely distributed there, most of which therapeutic ones, which renders it an ideal place to develop integrated tourism that combines sightseeing, recuperation as well as research.Those who visit Hainan are usually so fascinated by this charming island that they feel reluctant to leave.例12 The Indian tradition develops ways of describing the body as it is experienced, from the inside out.The Western tradition looks at the body from the outside in, and peels it back one layer at a time, and it believes only what it can see.The East treats the person;the West treats the disease.Yoga relaxes you and, by relaxing, heals.When you do yoga, you initiate a process that turns the fight system off and turns the relaxation response on.The body seizes this chance to turn on the healing mechanisms.Yoga offers modern men and women a moment of relaxation when noise and agitation are everywhere.本句有一定難度，屬于理解不難，順暢表達較難的類型，要求考生從整體上把握全篇，注意句與句之間的起承轉合，適當補充添加，如第三句中的比較含義以及第四句中“heals”一詞的補充譯法。透徹理解后，表達時要能夠擺脫原文形式上的束縛，跳出框框，準確達意，如第一、二句中劃線部分的處理。其余部分的表現依然取決于考生對類似“initiate, mechanism”等常規詞語的熟悉程度。參考譯文：

在印度，人們對身體的認知是由里及外的。而西方的傳統是由外及里地逐層認識人的身體，西方人只相信他們能看到的東西。東方人治病講究治人，而西方人治病只是針對疾病本身。瑜伽使身體放松，通過放松達到治愈。做瑜伽時，開始消除緊張，身體開始得到放松。人體機能利用這個機會得到修復。瑜伽讓現代人在嘈雜、喧鬧的環境中得到片刻安寧。

總之，口譯練習應遵循以下原則：

1）聽譯原則：每天做聽譯練習，即聽力加筆記再加口譯。很多同學誤以為復習教材就是先看原文，劃出不知道的短語和生詞，然后翻到課后看答案就算完成任務了。但是到了考場才發現，實考是沒有任何文字可看的，其實是備考的方法錯了。

2）嚴格控制時間：口譯的一個主要壓力是時間。高口聽譯長度為20-50秒不等，在較長的段落聽譯中，不記筆記不大可能。所以平時練習時要加碼。如高口練習聽譯段落不低于60秒。

3）強調輸出：即使很多基本功尚可的同學，參加口試仍感到不適應。其中原因是考生學習口譯的主要途徑還是看書，記單詞，背短語，但實際是“以為自己懂了而其實不熟練”。所以平時練習時一定要“從耳朵到嘴巴”，并錄音錄下來，自己聽一聽就知道問題所在了。
