人事部CATTI三级口译实务考试出题规律

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

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

全国人事部一级笔译两年真题

2015年CATTI一级笔译英译汉试题 原文: Conventional business wisdom is big on perfection. We are constantly exhorted to give 100 per cent – or even a mathematically impossible 110 per cent. But is this really the absolute virtue it is held up to be? Or is there a case to be made for doing a “good enough” job most of the time? There are two well-known rules that suggest the latter is valid. The first is the Pareto Principle (or the 80-20 rule), which states that 80 per cent of consequences stem from 20 per cent of causes. The second is the law of diminishing returns, which suggests that, as you near 100 per cent, you expend proportionally more effort on the remaining work. Graham Allcott, author of How to be a Productivity Ninja, says that people often look at tasks the wrong way – they focus on the detail of what they are doing, rather than the impact it has. “It is actually far more practical to think in terms of the 80-20 rule and focus ruthlessly on doing things that have the greatest impact.” He also recommends that you delegate the mundane parts of tasks that anyone can do. However, many people find this difficult because they are wedded to the idea of delivering their very best. As business psychologist Karen Moloney says: “Perfection is how they define themselves and to let anything out of their hands that isn’t 100 per cent goes against their sense of professional pride.” She says the trick is to remember it is about delivering what the business needs, not what you want to give. People who are natural perfectionists tend to see not giving 100 per cent as a failing. But you can reframe this by telling yourself that knowing which tasks do not need 100 per cent demonstrates good judgment. Holding on to a task or project by forever adding that extra 1 per cent can sometimes be driven by a fear of being judged on the end result. It is therefore worth reminding yourself of the Steve Jo bs quote: “Real artists ship.” One way to avoid running up against the law of diminishing returns is to set yourself deadlines. But rather than set fake deadlines that you know can be moved, Mr Allcott recommends making yourself accountable to someone else. That way, you will shift from “I could deliver any time next week” to “I’ll look bad in front of my boss i f I don’t deliver by Tuesday”. Perhaps the most difficult thing to deal with, however, is not your own desire to give 100 per cent but your boss’s desire to see you give 100 per cent . Again, says Ms Moloney, you need to make it about what you deliver: “Explain to your boss you can accomplish far more if you don’t dot every I and cross every T.”

2019年6月全国翻译专业资格(水平)考试二级口译实务真题(人事部CATTI考试)

2019年6月全国翻译专业资格(水平)考试 英语二级《口译实务》试题 Section 1: English-Chinese translation(英译汉)(50points) Passage 1 When I came here last year, it was 9 months after the agreement was signed by OPEC members and non-OPEC countries. Now we have been out of 3 years of recession. cooperation between 25 countries has helped bring back stability, having a positive impact on world economy and trade. In the past 20 months, the change in the situations is like day and night. However, it’s not the time for us to rest on the su ccess. We should continue to build a healthy and stable market. Despite the recovery, there are still factors that are out of our control: geopolitical crises, disputes between countries and natural disasters. It is important for us to handle these risks and it is crucial to the market in the short term and in the long term. We are in support of the Paris Agreement, which is the most important document about climate change and sustainable energy. Historically, people think renewable energy is the only choice for the future, but I think this idea is misleading. Actually, we need a diversity of energy sources, rather than just one source. New renewable energy sources like solar and wind power are developing rapidly and the share of hydroelectric power remains stable.

人事部翻译资格证书(CATTI)2004 年 11 月英语二级《笔译实务》试题及参考答案

Section 1: English-Chinese Translation (英译汉)( 60 point ) This section consists of two parts: Part A "Compulsory Translation" and Part B "Optional Translations" which comprises "Topic 1" and "Topic 2". Translate the passage in Part A and your choice from passage in Part B into Chinese. Write "Compulsory Translation" above your translation of Part A and write "Topic 1" or "Topic 2" above your translation of the passage from Part B. The time for this section is 100 minutes. Part A Compulsory Translation (必译题)(30 points) Until recently, scientists knew little about life in the deep sea, nor had they reason to believe that it was being threatened. Now, with the benefit of technology that allows for deeper exploration, researchers have uncovered a remarkable array of species inhabiting the ocean floor at depths of more than 660 feet, or about 200 meters. At the same time, however, technology has also enabled fishermen to reach far deeper than ever before, into areas where bottom trawls can destroy in minutes what has taken nature hundreds and in some cases thousands of years to build. Many of the world's coral species, for example, are found at depths of more than 200 meters. It is also estimated that roughly half of the world's highest seamounts - areas that rise from the ocean floor and are particularly rich in marine life - are also found in the deep ocean. These deep sea ecosystems provide shelter, spawning and breeding areas for fish and other creatures, as well as protection from strong currents and predators. Moreover, they are believed to harbor some of the most extensive reservoirs of life on earth, with estimates ranging from 500,000 to 100 million species inhabiting these largely unexplored and highly fragile ecosystems. Yet just as we are beginning to recognize the tremendous diversity of life in these areas, along with the potential benefits newly found species may hold for human society in the form of potential food products and new medicines, they are at risk of being lost forever. With enhanced ability both to identify where these species-rich areas are located and to trawl in deeper water than before, commercial fishing vessels are now beginning to reach down with nets the size of football fields, catching everything in their path while simultaneously crushing fragile corals and breaking up the delicate structure of reefs and seamounts that provide critical habitat to the countless species of fish and other marine life that inhabit the deep ocean floor. Because deep sea bottom trawling is a recent phenomenon, the damage that has been done is still limited. If steps are taken quickly to prevent this kind of destructive activity from occurring on the high seas, the benefits both to the marine environment and to future generations are incalculable. And they far outweigh the short-term costs

2011年5月及历年人事部CATTI三级口译真题回忆 及感想

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

人事部翻译资格证书(CAT人事部英语二级《笔译实务》试题.

人事部翻译资格证书(CATTI)2004年5月英语二级《笔译实务》试 题及参考答案 Section 1: English-Chinese Translation(英译汉)(60 point) This section consists of two parts: Part A "Compulsory Translation" and Part B "Optional Translations" which comprises "Topic 1" and "Topic 2". Translate the passage in Part A and your choice from passage in Part B into Chinese. Write "Compulsory Translation" above your translation of Part A and write "Topic 1" or "Topic 2" above your translation of the passage from Part B. The time for this section is 100 minutes. Part A Compulsory Translation (必译题)(30 points) The first outline of The Ascent of Man was written in July 1969and the last foot of film was shot in December 1972. An undertaking as large as this, though wonderfully exhilarating, is not entered lightly. It demands an unflagging intellectual and physical vigour, a total immersion, which I had to be sure that I could sustain with pleasure; for instance, I had to put off researches that I had already begun; and I ought to explain what moved me to do so. There has been a deep change in the temper of science in the last20 years: the focus of attention has shifted from the physical to the life sciences. As a result, science is drawn more and more to the study of individuality. But the interested spectator is hardly aware yet how far-reaching the effect is in changing the image of man that science moulds. As a mathematician trained in physics, I too would have been unaware, had not a series of lucky chances taken me into the life sciences in middle age. I owe a debt for the good fortune that carried me into two seminal fields of science in one lifetime; and though I do not know to whom the debt is due, I conceived The Ascent of Man in gratitude to repay it. The invitation to me from the British Broadcasting Corporation was to present the development of science in a series of television programmes to match those of Lord Clark on Civilisation. Television is an admirable medium- for exposition in several ways: powerful and immediate to the eye, able to take the spectator bodily into the places and processes that are described, and conversational enough to make him conscious that what he witnesses are not events but the actions of people. The last of these merits is to my mind the most cogent, and it weighed most with me in agreeing to cast a personal biography of ideas in the form of television essays. The point is that knowledge in general and science in particular does not consist of abstract but of man-made ideas, all the way from its beginnings to its modern and idiosyncratic models. Therefore the underlying concepts that unlock nature must be shown to arise early and in the simplest cultures of man from his basic and specific faculties. And the development of science which joins them in more and more complex conjunctions must be seen to be equally human: discoveries are made by men, not merely by minds, so that they are alive and charged with individuality. If television is not used to make these thoughts concrete, it is wasted. Part B Optional Translations (二选一题)(30 points) Topic 1 (选题一) It's not that we are afraid of seeing him stumble, of scribbling a mustache over his career. Sure, the nice part of us wants Mike to know we appreciate him, that he still reigns, at least in our memory. The truth, though, is that we don't want him to come back because even for Michael Jordan, this would be an act of hubris so monumental as to make his trademark confidence twist
