口译笔译：笔译中必须知道的数字翻译
在汉英笔译和英语写作中，经常会遇到数字；哪些场合用单词表示，哪些场合用阿拉伯数字表示，往往使人难以确定，现行语法书中也极少涉及此类问题。
实际上，以英语为母语的国家，在书写数字时已形成几条约定俗成的规则，现总结如下供读者参考。
1 英美等国的出版社在排版时遵循一条原则，即1至10用单词表示，10以上的数目用阿拉伯数字（也有的以100为界限），这条原则值得我们行文时借鉴。如：
That table measures ten feet by five. 那个工作台长10英尺，宽5英尺。
The traditional pattern of classroom experience at the college level brings the professor and a group of 20 to 30 students together for a 45-to-50-minute class session two or three times a week.
由一个教授和十名学生每周会晤两三次，每次授课时间45到50分钟，是大学程度课堂教学的传统方式。
2 大数目用阿拉伯数字表示显得更简洁明了，但不定数量、近似值用单词表示较恰当。如：
There are 203817 voters on the electoral rolls。选举名单上有203817个投票人。
Nearly thirty thousand voters took part in this election.
近3万个投票人参加了这次选举。
3 遇到日期、百分比、带单位的特殊数字，通常用阿拉伯数字。如：
Maximum swivel of table is l20. 工作台的最大回转角度是120度。
①3rd march l991或3 march l991; a discount of 5 percent（5%的折扣）;
②purchased 7 yards of carpet（买7码地毯）;
③ordered 2 pounds of minced steak （订购2磅剁碎的肉）.
如果涉及的数目和单位是不定数，可用单词表示。
如：①about five miles per hour（每小时大约5英里）;
②at least ten yards away（至少有10码远）;
③hesitated for a moment or two（犹豫了片刻）;
④i have warned you a hundred times（我已经警告你多少遍了）.

For example, Gile’s criteria include fidelity, quality of the voice as well as usage of terminologies, etc; Bao Gang proposed complete and accurate interpretation and fluent delivery; Buhler contended that the evaluation criteria consist of sense consistency. In fact, the criterion such as accurate interpretation, consistency and equivalence can be summarized as “faithfulness”, though different researchers focus on different aspects of faithfulness. Therefore, it can be said that in terms of criterion for evaluat ing interpretation, “faithfulness” is discussed by researchers most. The Interpretive Theory also has its own understanding towards “faithfulness”. Amparo Albie, an important scholar of the Paris School, put forward three evaluation criteria for faithfulness in Notion of Faithfulness in Translation (La Notion de

They have hardly changed their attitudes towards Chinese. At one time they proudly declared that they knew English only. Now, they have begun to give full support to their kids learning Chinese and its culture, and they also make occasional visits to China, where they can enjoy its magnificent natural landscape and get to know its rich cultural heritage. 解析： 本段是一篇文化类介绍文章。总体难度一般，以句号结束的句子即可作为一

历年上海英语中级口译翻译英译汉真题及答案 原文： 出自Newsweek Why We Must Fire Bad Teachers The relative decline of American education at the elementary- and high-school levels has long been a national embarrassment as well as a threat to the nation’s future. Once upon a time, American students tested better than any other students in the world. Now, ranked against European schoolchildren, America does about as well as Lithuania, behind at least 10 other nations. For much of this time—roughly the last half century—professional educators believed that if they could only find the right pedagogy, the right method of instruction, all would be well. They tried New Math, open classrooms, Whole Language—but nothing seemed to achieve significant or lasting improvements. Yet in recent years researchers have discovered something that may seem obvious, but for many reasons was overlooked or denied. What really makes a difference, what matters more than the class size or the textbook, the teaching method or the technology, or even the curriculum, is the quality of the teacher. Much of the ability to teach is innate—an ability to inspire young minds as well as control unruly classrooms that some people instinctively possess (and some people definitely do not). Teaching can be taught, to some degree, but not the way many graduate schools of education do it, with a lot of insipid or marginally relevant theorizing and pedagogy. In any case the research shows that within about five years, you can generally tell who is a good teacher and who is not. 我们为什么必须叫停“不称职”的老师?
尊称的译法: 在寒暄、介绍、礼仪祝词中，对对方或他人的尊敬称谓十分常见，中文和英语中的尊称说法有很多，较为常见的是英译中时可将you，your company，your university译成“您”、“贵公司”.“贵校”，而中译英的情况则较为复杂。如果是泛称，比如“尊敬的来宾”，一般可译成distinguished guests，honorable guests或respected guests等。但对不同身份、不同地位的个人则常常需要使用不同的尊称方式，主要有以下几种: 1. 陛下：Majesty，是对King(国王)，Queen（王后或女王）的尊称。 直接称谓：Your Majesty 间接称谓：His/Her Majesty Majesty后面还可以加上人名：H. M. (Her Majesty) Queen Elizabeth 2. 殿下：Highness，是Prince (王子)，Princess (公主)，Royal Duke （王族公爵）和Royal Duchess (王族公爵夫人）的尊称， 直接称谓：Your Highness 间接称谓：His/Her Highness Highness后面还可以加上头衔及人名：Your Royal Highness Princess Diana 3. 阁下：Excellency，是对Prime Minister （总理），Secretary (大臣)，Minister(部长)，Governor(总督／省长)，Bishop(主教），Ambassador(大使）等高官及教士的尊称。 直接称谓：Your Excellency 间接称谓：His/Her Excellency 后面还可以加上职衔及人名：Your Excellency Prime Minister Brown 4. 大人：Grace，主要用于对Duke （公爵)，Duchess (公爵夫人），Arch-bishop （大主教）表示敬意。 直接称谓：Your Grace 间接称谓：His/Her Grace 5. 先生：Honor，是对法官或某些高官的尊称。 直接称谓：Your Honor 间接称谓：His/Her Honor
Unit four Figures in Interpreting 教学目的： 1. 了解中英数位表达及分段方式的差异，通过单纯数字、带单位的数字及带数字 的句子口译练习，初步掌握中英数字互译的方法和技巧； 2. 熟悉有关国际商务和世界贸易的相关词汇、表达，以及有关背景知识； 3. 通过模仿或模拟口译实践提高英语表达和运用能力。 教学重点： 1. 中英数位表达差异； 2. 数字中英互译的三阶段练习； 3. 国际贸易与经济全球化的常用词汇和表达； 4. 与世界贸易相关的背景知识及用语表达。 I. 有关数字的各种表达及注意事项 1. 整数的译法和读法 迅速无误识别数字的前提是必须能够流利地读出数字。要从读两位数起，然后练习读三位和四位数乃至五位或六位以上的数字。其中两位和三位数的读法是读所有数字的基础。英文数字中的每一个逗点的读法也要牢记：有一个逗点读“thousand”，两个逗点读“million”，三个逗点读“billion”。还要清楚，每个逗点间由三位数组成。英文数字中的第四位数、第七位数、第十位数是很关键的数位。 1,234 读作：one thousand,two hundred and thirty-four 4,567,809 读作：four million,five hundred and sixty-seventhousand,eight hundred and nine 5,678,120,000 读作：five billion,six hundred and seventy-eight million,one hundred and twe nty thousand 百位数和百位数以上的数的读法英国人和美国人不同，英国人在百位数和十位数之间用and,美国人常常不用。 126 读作one hundred(and)twenty-six 3,862 读作three thousand, eight hundred(and)sixty-two 489,932读作four thousand(and)eight-nine thousand,nine hundred(and)thiety-two 以one开始的较大数字，通俗的用法或表示大概数字时，可用不定冠词a代替one,如：He's written a thousand poems. “千”有时可转换成“百”来表示，尤其在通俗用法中，如： The fee is about eleven hundred yuan.（费用约一千一百元。） 也即，部分有一个逗点的数字（四位数），英国人用“thousand”表示，而美国人则多用“hundred”。再如，有三个逗点的数字（十位数），美式读法为

口译中翻译复杂中文句子的方法 我曾写过一个帖子，介绍如何将一个复杂的英文句子翻译成中文。昨天我收到网友“CQ美眉”的邮件，她请我再写一个帖子，介绍如何将一个复杂的中文句子翻译成英文，也就是再写一个相反的帖子。这位网友还特意给我提供了一个例句，请看下面： 每一个人，作为社会的一个成员，有权享受其人格和尊严的自由发展所必需的社会、经济、文化权利，这些权利是通过国家努力和国际合作来实现的，并且与所在国家的组织、资源、现状相一致。 对于这种比较复杂的中文句子，在正式翻译成英文句子之前，应当按照它的含义，将它划分成不同的部分，以便我们确定英文句子的结构。我首先将这个中文句子划分成6个部分，请特别注意，第4部分嵌套在第3部分中间。 ①每一个人，②作为社会的一个成员，③有权享受 [④其人格和尊严的自由发展所必需的] 社会、经济、文化权利，⑤这些权利是通过国家努力和国际合作来实现的，⑥并且与所在国家的组织、资源、现状相一致。 这样划分之后，我初步决定，将第4、5、6部分翻译成三个定语从句，用来修饰第3部分的最后一个单词rights，请看： ①Everyone ②as a member of society ③is entitled to the social, economic and cultural rights ④which are necessary to the unrestrained development of his/her personality and dignity ⑤which are realized through national effort and international cooperation ⑥which are concordant with the organization, resources and situation of each country. 不过，在英语中，通常是一个定语从句修饰一个名词，很少有三个定语从句修饰一个名词，因此我临时决定，将第4部分改写成一个短语，将第5、6部分合并成一个定语句子，请看：
英语口译翻译技巧：句群逻辑关系 句群，简单地说就是由两个或者几个意义上前后谢姐连贯额句子按一定规则组成的表示一个中心意思的的语法单位,下面就和大家分享英语口译翻译技巧：句群逻辑关系，希望能够帮助到大家，来欣赏一下吧。 英语口译翻译技巧：句群逻辑关系 汉译英中的疑点就是处理句群关系，从逻辑上区分通常有六种： a) 表示原因关系 “因为…所以”，“因此…”，“由于…” b) 表示转折关系 “虽然…但是…”，“然而(不过)…” c) 表示条件关系 “如果…”，“假如…”，“只要…就…”，“一旦…” d) 表示让步关系 “尽管…”，“就算…也…”，“即使…也…”
e) 表示时间先后关系 “…之后”，“接着…” f) 表示结果关系 “从而…”，“导致…” 经过二十多年的快速发展，中国西部地区已奠定了一定的物质技术基础，社会保持稳定，市场经济体制正在逐步建立和完善，为西部经济持续快速增长创造了有利的市场环境。 Thanks to the rapid development in the past 20-plus years, a relatively solid foundation in terms of material wealth and technology has been laid in the western region of china.The rapid development in the past 20-plus years witnesses a relatively solid foundation in terms of material wealth and technology in the western region of china 中国将致力于建设国家创新体系，通过营造良好的环境，推进知识创新、技术创新和体制创新，这是中国实现跨世纪发展的必由之路。 Through creating a favorable background, china will be devoted to building a national system for innovation to promote the innovation in knowledge, technology and system, which is the only path/indispensable/essential for china to achieve
中级口译历年真题--翻译篇 2012年春季（3月） 英译汉原文： When I was young, there was an amazing publication called The Whole Earth Catalog, which was one of the bibles of my generation. It was created by a fellow named Stewart Brand not far from here in Menlo Park, and he brought it to life with his poetic touch. This was in the late 1960′s, before personal computers and desktop publishing, so it was all made with typewriters, scissors, and Polaroid cameras. It was sort of like Google in paperback form, 35 years before Google came along: it was idealistic, and overflowing with neat tools and great notions. Stewart and his team put out several issues of The Whole Earth Catalog, and then when it had run its course, they put out a final issue. It was the mid-1970s, and I was your age. On the back cover of their final issue was a photograph of an early morning country road, the kind you might find yourself hitchhiking on if you were so adventurous. Beneath it we re the words: “Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.” It was their farewell message as they signed off. Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish. And I have always wished that for myself. And now, as you graduate to begin anew, I wish that for you. 英译汉参考译文： 我年轻的时候，有本非常好的杂志《全球目录》，这是我们那代人的“圣经”之一。杂志的创办人是斯图尔特·布兰德，创办地是在离这里不远的门罗公园，他赋予了这本杂志诗一样的美感。六十年代后期，个人电脑和桌面排版尚未出现，所以这本杂志完全利用打字机、剪刀、偏光镜来完成，有点像平装本的谷歌，却出现在谷歌问世三十五年前。这本杂志充满了理想色彩，充满了整齐利落的工具、不同寻常的见解。 斯图尔特和他的团队出版了几期《全球目录》，在它完成使命后，他们出版了最后一期杂志。那是在七十年代中期，那时我和你们的年龄相仿。杂志最后一期的封底上是张清晨的乡村公路的照片，那样的路，如果你有些冒险精神，可能会一路搭车走过。照片下面有两句话：“求知若饥，虚怀若愚”，这是他们停刊的告别语，“求知若饥，虚怀若愚”，我总是以此鼓励自己。现在，当你们即将毕业踏上新的旅程，我给予你们同样的期望。 翻译评析： 这篇短文取自于乔布斯在斯坦福大学毕业典礼上的演讲。语言比较口语化，词汇不难。因为是演讲类短文，所以考生在翻译的时候大可以顺序驱动。节选的这个短文有几处的词汇和短语大家可以注意下： poetic：充满诗情画意的 idealistic: 理想主义的 run his course: 完成使命 hitchhiking: 搭乘 sign off: 停止签发，停止 汉译英： 吸烟之危害，可谓大矣，其严重性是不能低估的。吸烟污染空气，损害健康，使肺癌发病率大大增加。为了使各国人民关注烟草的盛行及预防吸烟导致的疾病和死亡，世界卫生组织已将每年的5月31日定为“世界无烟日”。 瘾君子们说，一天饭不吃可以，一个时辰不抽烟就难捱了，不能戒。只要真正意识到吸烟有百害而无一利，于人于己都是一种祸害，就有可能下决心摆脱烟草的诱惑。戒烟贵在坚持，坚持下去就是收获。 参考译文： Smoking does great harm to human and its gravity should not be underestimated. Smoking pollutes air, damages health, and increases the incidence of lung cancer. To arouse the awareness about the prevalence of tobacco in all the countries and to prevent smoking-induced diseases and deaths, the WHO (World Health Organization) has defined May 31st in every year as World No-Tobacco Day. The tobacco addicts say that smoking is impossible to quit because they could do without meals in a day but would feel tortured without tobacco in two hours. However, when one realizes that smoking is harmful in many ways but beneficial in no way and that it is a curse to others as well
称谓翻译小技巧：口译中遇到令人发狂的称谓怎么办 作者: star_zhang 【口语听力技巧16】翻译小技巧：口译中遇到令人发狂的称谓怎么办 在外事接待活动中，译员首先面临的一道难题是称谓的口译。称谓代表了一个人的职位、职衔或学衔，体现了一个人的资历和地位。称谓的误译不仅是对有关人员的不尊重，而且也会产生种种不良的后果。称谓的准确翻译其关键在于译员对有关人员的身份及其称谓的表达是否有一个正确的理解，尤其是对称谓语的认识。一种称谓语很可能表示多种身份，例如，英语的头衔语president，译成汉语时可视具体情况分别译作共和国的总统、国家主席、大学的校长、学院的院长、学会或协会的会长或主席、公司的总裁或董事长等等。 一般说来，各类机构或组织的首长其汉语称谓译成英语时虽可套用通用词head，但从比较严格的意义上看，应使用特定的、规范的称谓语。例如： 校长（大学）President of Beijing University 校长（中小学）Principal /Headmaster of Donghai Middle School 院长（大学下属）Dean of the Graduate School 系主任（大学学院下属）Chair/Chairman of the English Department 会长／主席（学／协会）President of the Student Union, Shanghai University 厂长（企业）Director of the Machine Tools Manufacturing Plant 院长（医院）President of Huadong Hospital 主任（中心）Director of the Business Center 主任（行政）Director of Foreign Affairs Office 董事长（企业）President／Chairman of the Board of Directors 董事长（学校）President／Chairman of the Board of Trustees 首席长官的汉语称谓常以“总……”表示，而表示首席长官的英语称谓语则常带有chief gene ral, head , managing 这类词，因此当翻译冠以“总”字的头衔时，需遵循英语头衔的表达习惯： 总书记general secretary 总工程师chief engineer 总会计师chief accountant 总建筑师chief architect
同声传译培训中数字口译练习技巧 随着国际间交流的突飞猛进,对于口译翻译人才的需求量越来越大，那么对于议员来说，数字口译的练习技巧有哪些呢，北京世纪英信翻译为大家介绍： 什么是数字口译 数字口译，不是淡出的数字，而是伴随着大量的实际信息，数字携带的瞬间信息量远超过同数量音节和音符携带的信息量，数字口译在英语的表达中，是“三位一进”，而汉语的数字表达是“四位一进”，因此在进行数字口译时，不仅需要语言间的转换，还要进行“进制”转换，这也加大了口译的难度。 数字口译练习技巧 1、快速读数法 为了提高数字的敏感度和转换的熟练度，在进行数字听辨和听译前，可以先进行读数法练习，即看着阿拉伯数字，把数字用中文和英文马上读出。每次找出一排数字(最少10到15个)，逐渐增加阅读速度、数字位数和数量，直到可以一口气、娴熟、无错误一遍读出。开始阶段可以从全部3位数、4位数、5位数……开始，逐渐过渡到混合位数，比如15个数字中，混合参杂3位数、5位数、6位数、8位数……。最终实现，看到数字，可以如“大脑不过电”般、毫无迟疑、马上脱口而出的效果，甚至如以读绕口令的速度快速读出。 2、车牌法 在读数字达到一定数量程度后，选定一个路口，迅速的用英文读出路过的车辆的车牌号码(尽量可以读出每个车牌号码，越多越好)。练习分两步，第一步，把每一个数字按顺序读出，如果车牌号码是B6571，则读B six，five，seven ，one。第二步，把车牌号作为一个数字读出，如果车牌号码是C7845，则读B Seven thousand eight hundred and forty-five. 由于车辆行驶的速度较快，一闪而过，车牌数字是瞬间出现，所以可以很好的提高练习者的数字敏感度和快速反映能力。注意：由于汽车尾气污染原因，该方法单次练习时间不宜过长，每天半小时左右为宜。 3、滚屏读数法 各大财经频道的股市行情直播，往往是在屏幕下方滚动播出个股行情，看到个股的行情后，迅速用英文读出该数字及升降趋势，比如-2.8%，迅速的读minus/decrease/down/drop 2.8%, +3.6%,迅速的读plus/increase/up 3.6%. 4、约数法(四舍五入法)
英译中 The shape of the world is changing almost as dramatically as this city's skyline. Today the cold war is over. The risk of the global nuclear conflict has been greatly reduced and the free flow of goods and ideas is bringing to life the concept of a global village. But just as all nations can benefit from the promise of this new world, no nation is immune to its perils. We all have a stake in building peace and prosperity, and in confronting threats that respects no borders—terrorism and drug trafficking, disease and environmental destruction. To meet these challenges most effectively, China and the United States must act in concert. Some argue that with the Cold War's end, the strategic importance of the US-China relationship has diminished. I believe they have it exactly backwards. As a new century begins, the importance of strengthening the ties between the United States and China will grow even greater. 【参考译文】 世界的面貌正在发生引人注目的变化，其变化之快几乎就象这座城市德空中轮廓。今天，冷战已经结束。全球核冲突的危险性已大大减小，商品和思想的自由交流正在激发地球村的概念。但是，正如世界各国会受益于这个新世界的美好前景，没有一个国家能够免遭其祸害。缔造和平与繁荣，抵御不分国界的诸多威胁---恐怖主义、贩毒、疾病和环境破坏，这些与我们大家都有着利害关系。 为了最有效地迎接这些挑战，中国和美国必须协力行动。有些人说，随着冷战的结束，美中关系的战略意义已经减弱了。我认为这些人刚好说反了。随着新世纪的开始，加强美国和中国的联系，其重要性将变得更大。 中译英 手术室的门开了，我和爸爸急忙走进去。啊，妈妈那双炯炯有神的大眼睛紧闭着，平进红红的脸现在苍白了。 望着病中的妈妈，我想起了1981年夏天奶奶生病的情景。 那年是上海少有的炎热天气。奶奶住院了，妈妈一天要去医院好几次，晚上还要去看护奶奶。妈妈多少天没有好好吃饭，好明显的瘦了。 妈妈是音乐教师，好不仅用歌声教育学生什么是爱，也用实际行动告诉我孝敬父母是我们中华民族的美德。现在妈妈生病了，我一定要好好照顾她，做一个孝敬妈妈的好女儿。 【参考译文】 The operating room opened, and Dad and I hurried in. Oh, Mom’s big, bright eyes were closed tight, and her normally red face looked pale. Looking at sick Mom, I recalled the summer of 1981 when Granny was ill. That summer was unusually hot in Shanghai. Granny was hospitalized. Mom went to the hospital several times a day, and in the evening she was also there looking after Granny. Having had no good meal several days running, Mom was obviously thinning. Mom is a music teacher. She not only teacher her students what love is all about with her songs but tells me by what she does that showing filial respect to parents is a virtue of our Chinese nation. Now that Mom is sick, I must take good care of her and be a fine daughter who is filial towards Mom.
