Q：您好，杰克逊先生。您在中国已连续工作了三年。您能否谈一下中美两国生意人在商务沟通方式上有何不同之处？
Q：Hi, Mr. Jackson. You have been working in China for three years. Can you tell us how you feel about the differences in business communication style between Chinese and American businessmen? A: With pleasure. I think there are at least(至少)two differences in the way of business communication between Chinese and American business people. First, Chinese businessmen tend to(倾向于)have business negotiations in a rather indirect manner(迂回婉转), as opposed to(与...截然相反，对照) the more direct manner of American business people.
(As opposed to 后面接的东西才是重点与参照物-----译为与美国人相比，中国人的谈判方式比较委婉) A：我很乐意。我认为中美两国生意人在商务沟通方式上至少有两点不同。首先，中国人在商务谈判时倾向于一种迂回婉转的方式，而美国人则表现出一种直截了当的作风。
The Chinese take time(花时间) to learn if their prospective business contacts(潜在客户) are really reliable, for example, by inviting them to a party and socializing with(交流交往) them. In contrast(与之相反), American usually act with(以...方式行事) the “get-down-to-business-first”mentality(“公务为先”的心态).
中国人会花费时间来了解他们将要与之打交道的商人是否靠得住，例如邀请对方参加宴会，与他们进行交流。与之相反，美国人则以“公务为先”的心态行事
Second, the decision making process of Chinese companies is generally slow and time-consuming(耗时的). This is because most Chinese companies keep to the“bottom-up(自下而上), then top-down(自上而下) and then bottom-up”decision-making principle which involves(牵扯) many people at different levels. Keep to...principle(遵循...原则)
第二，中国公司的决策过程耗时冗长。这是因为大部分的中国公司遵循着一种“先自下而上，后自上而下、再自下而上”的决策原则，各个层次上的许多人士都介入决策过程。
American companies, on the other hand(换句话说), usually operate with(运作) quick decision made by the top management. I hope American business people in China will understand these differences in business practices(商务活动) and adjust(适应) the Chinese way.
而美国公司通常是由最高管理人士的快速决策来运作。我希望在华的美国商人理解这些商务活动中的差异，适应中国人的经营之道。
Q：美国式的经营之道在我们中国人看来往往显得咄咄逼人。您在与中国同事的合作中有无注意到这一点？
Q：The American way of doing business often strikes us Chinese as very aggressive(咄咄逼人). Were you aware of(注意到) this in your collaboration with(合作) your Chinese colleagues?
A: Well, we are more direct and straightforward(直截了当）than most Chinese, I would say, due to(因为) our different cultural traditions. I noticed that a lot of Chinese often avoid saying a clear “no”(不明确地说不)just to be polite. Sometimes my Chinese colleagues say “yes” not to express agreement, but only to show that they are listening.
A：这个嘛，我认为，由于我们有着不同的文化传统，所以我们同大部分中国人相比，显得较为直截了当、开门见山。我注意到许多中国人出于礼貌而经常不明确地说一声“不”。有时我的中国同事道一声“是”，这可不是表示赞同，只是表明他们在注意听对方说话而已。
Q：我们都应该承认这些文化差异，尊重这些差异，以免产生误解，这很重要不是吗？
Q：It is important for all of us to acknowledge(承认客观事实) and respect these cultural differences in order to avoid misunderstandings, isn’t it?(反义疑问句) Admit/recognize (指原本不认可后承认)
A: Yes, understanding these differences, I believe, will be a first step toward(建立)establishing a firm business relationship between American and Chinese companies.
A：是的，我认为，理解这些差异是朝着在美国公司和中国公司之间建立稳固的商务关系的方向迈出的第一步。
Q：刚才您提到了中国式的决策过程，您认为这种管理模式有无优点？将其与美国的管理模式相比，您有何看法？
Q：You mentioned(提到) the Chinese type of decision-making process earlier. Do you see any strength with this type of management and how do you compare it with(与...对比) t he American type of management?
A: I would say the American-type, or the top-down, management emphasizes(注重) efficiency, and competition among workers, while the Chinese-type management gives priority to(优先) careful planning and encourages cooperation among workers, and between workers and the management. A：我感到美国式的自上而下的管理方式注重效率，注重员工之间的竞争。而中国式的管理方式的特点是，优先考虑周密的计划，鼓励员工之间的合作，鼓励员工与管理层之间的合作.
Thus, while the American-type management often frustrates(使...沮丧) many workers, the
Chinese-type management gives workers a joy of participation and fulfillment(成就感), and s sense of pride(自豪感) in their work.
因此，美国式的管理方式常常使许多员工感到沮丧，而中国式的管理方式能使员工有一种喜悦的参与感和成就感，对自己的工作抱一种自豪感。
Q：谈到员工的工作态度，中国人和美国人在这方面有何不同?
Q：Talking about workers’ attitude toward(对...态度)their work, how do the Chinese and the American differ in this respect/aspect(在这方面)?
A: I think most Chinese view work as(把..看做) essential for having membership in a community(团体中的一份子). They believe that work allow them to have a sense of belonging(归属感) in a community. In other words(换言之，换句话说), work is necessary for them to gain social acceptance(得到社会认可) in the society.
A：我认为，大多数中国人将工作视为能使自己成为整个团体中的一份子的必不可缺的条件。中国人相信，工作使自己有了团体的归属感。换言之，中国人为了得到社会的认可，必须工作。
That is why many Chinese managers and employees work so hard to maintain their position(保住地位) in their company. Also, they see work as the most important thing in life. That is(也就是说), they have tried to find the meaning of life through their jobs.
这就是为何许多中国经理和员工会努力工作以保住自己在公司里的职位的原因。中国人还将工作视为生活中最重要的大事。也就是说，他们想从工作中找到生活的意义。
While the Chinese work ethic(工作观) is based on(在...基础上) social pressure and community belonging(团体归属感), the American work ethic seems to be more individual oriented(个体取向性).
中国人的工作观建立在社会压力和团体归属感的基础上，而美国人的工作观则有更强的个体取向性。
Traditionally, we work because it is the will of God(上帝的意志), and we often value the results and accomplishment(成果) of work more than its process. By the way, I’m very impressed by(留下很深的印象) the obvious strong sense of dedication(奉献精神) to the jobs among the older Chinese employees.
我们一向认为，我们工作是秉承了上帝的意志，我们对工作成果的重视常常高于对工作过程的重视。附带说一句，年龄较大的中国员工对自己的工作有一种明显的奉献精神，我对此有很深刻的印象。
Q：回到我们一开始的话题，您如何评价中美两种不同的经营之道的利弊呢？
Q：Returning to(回到) where we started, how do you comment on(评价) the merits and demerits(利弊) of the two different approaches to(通往...的办法) business management?
A: It is difficult to decide which is better than which, because there are some merits and demerits to both type of management. My suggestion is that people of both countries should learn from each other. A：很难判断孰优孰劣，因为这两种经营方式各有自己的长处和短处。我希望我们两国人民应该互相学习，取长补短。
I will say that in recent years, the merits of the Chinese way, or rather, the Oriental way(东方方式), of management are beginning to be recognized by an increasing number of(越来越多的) people in the West.
应该说近年来中国人的经营方式，更确切地说是东方人的经营方式，开始为越来越多的西方人所认识。
This more humane(人性化) Oriental way of management seems to offer a great deal(大量)to the executives (管理人士)of our American indu stries(产业界)
东方人的这种人情味更浓的经营方式似乎给我们美国产业界的管理人士以颇多的启迪。
Q：谢谢！谢谢您接受我的采访。
Thank you for sharing your time with me.
A: My pleasure
A：没问题！

Passage 3 Yesterday we went through the main ponts of the proposal joint venture. Now you have seen the factory. Shall we discuss technology transfer briefly? Ah, I'm just coming to that. If you want the products to compete successfully on the international market, you'll have to acquire advanced technology. Certainly, the technology to be imported should be advanced and appropriate to China's needs. Excuse me, Mr. Zhao, when you say imported technology, what does the word "technology" refer to? Naturally it doesn't merely refer to industrial property. Know-how is also included. We agree, but the know-how we promise to transfer to the joint venture company is what we are adopting in our production at the moment, and you'll pay for it in the form of royalties apart from a certain initial down payment, right? Yes, and at the same time we also expect that in the duration of the joint venture , you can continue offering us your improved technological expertise. As to the price of technology, the minimum generally accepted is 5% of the sales price of all licensed items made and sold during the term of the agreement, in addition to an initial down payment of USD100,000. I'm afraid both the royalty rate and the initial down payment amount are too high. I'm sure you can understand that the company will have a tough time in the initial stages of cooperation----low yield, possibly unstable quality, high expenses. How could the joint venture bear such a heavy additional load each year? This would certainly break the back of the company. The initial down payment cannot be reduced, but we may consider lowering the royalty rate a bit little. In addition, even the sum of USD100,000 hardly covers all the expenses spent on technological information, drawings , personnel training, etc; not to mention the travelling expenses we'll have to pay for this job of technology transfer. Well, it could work if the first two years of production were exempt from royalty and if the rate came down to 3% of the net sales price. How long will the term of agreement be? Generally not longer than 10 years. We will accept your proposal to begin royalty payments in the third production year to show that we want to cooperate. "To render good for good", as the Chinese saying goes, we agree to the amount of USD100,000 as the initial down payment. That's a sign of our sincere desire to venture jointly. And what do you say to the 3 %

口译笔记速记符号归总 一、做口译笔记时的注意事项 1.口译笔记应记要点，切忌求记“全”。口译笔记是记忆的延伸或补充，不应也不必取代记忆。口译笔记的主要内容是概念、命题、名称、数字、组织机构和逻辑关系（如大小、先后、正反、上下、升降、因果关系等），笔记单位以表达意群的词语和符号为主。 2.口译笔记求快求精，但不可潦草。 3.口译笔记可使用来源语，也可使用目标语，也可以双语兼用。只要有利于口译的准确性和流利性，不必拘泥于某种文字或符号。例如，“联合国大会”可笔录为“UN”或“联大”。 4.口译笔记使用大量常见略语，例如：cf（compare），Co（company），eg（for example），etc（and so on），esp（especially），ie（that is），max（maximum），min（minimum），ref（reference），std（standard），usu（usually），等。 二、常用速记符号 速记是一项特殊的技巧，速记语言是由一套完整的符号组成的体系。在口译实践中逐步掌握一些简单的速记符号是有益的。 口译成功与否在很大程度上取决于译员在口译表达前对感知的信息进行记录的能力。记录分为“脑记”和“笔记”两种。 人脑的记忆由短时记忆和长时记忆两部分组成。顾名思义，短时记忆是一种操作性的暂时记忆，长时记忆属于一种储存性的永久记忆。影响一个人短时记忆的因素很多，其中最主要的因素是记忆内容的意义性。即便是当感知的信息有意义时，人的短时记忆只可容纳由二十多个单词组成的句子，或者一组十位数的数字。因此，对于口译工作者来说，完全依赖人脑的记忆能力是危险的，记笔记便显得十分重要。 in Note taking Use only the abbreviations that fit your needs and that you will remember easily. A good idea is to introduce only a few abbreviations into your note taking at a time. Symbols helpful in math -- these are commonly used in texts and references. S = sum f = frequency Leave out periods in standard abbreviations. cf = compare e.g. = example dept = department Use only the first syllable of a word. pol = politics

旅游英语口译常用句型 1）英译汉，一般都是国外的城市或者景点；难点在有些景点名没听过，容易卡壳。 例：Many of its world-renowned attractions are specific, such as the Great Barrier Reef, Ayer’s Rock, Kakadu National Park and Sydney Opera House. 澳大利亚有许多举世闻名，景观独特的旅游胜地，如大堡礁，阿叶尔斯石柱山，咔喀杜国家公园和悉尼歌剧院。 （2）汉译英，则是介绍国内的城市或者景点。难在中文太过文学，措手不及。例：上海系江南名城，远东巨埠，内联九州，外通四海，物华天宝，人杰地灵。Shanghai is a famous city in the south of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River and a big port in the Far East. Linked with all the places in China and major ports throughout the world, this metropolis is known as a land of attractive resources and magic power and a birthplace of creative minds and gifted talents. 例6 York is the capital of Yorkshire and was once known as England’s “second city”. It has a long history dating back to Roman times. Indeed many of the streets and roads bear Roman names. 约克是约克郡的首府，曾经一度被誉为英格兰的“第二大城市。”约克市历史悠久，可以追溯到罗马时代。的确，很多的街道和马路用的都是罗马的名字。 York is a major tourist city for many reasons. The city boasts one of the most famous cathedrals in the world. It has a number of interesting museums and the architecture within the city covers different periods of history. 约克成为旅游重镇有很多原因。该市拥有世界上最为著名的教堂之一。它有很多有趣的博物馆。另外，城里的建筑反映了不同历史时期的风格。 The most famous cathedral is known as York Minister. It dates back to the 13th century. Tourists are captivated by its sheer size, architectural beauty and presence. 最有名的教堂叫做约克敏斯特。它历史可以追溯到13世纪。游客为其高大的外形，优美的建筑风格和气势所倾倒。 Among the museums of York, the National Museum and the Castle Museum are the most famous. The national Railway Museum covers about 150 years of railway history. The Castle Museum attracts more than 650,000 visitors each year. 在约克的博物馆中，最有名的当属国家铁路博物馆和城堡博物馆。前者记载了150多年的铁路史，后者则每年吸引超过65万名参观者。 例7: 阳朔是个小镇，人口不足三万。但它极负盛名，每年有成千上万的游客趋之若鹜，从世界各地涌来。 Yangshuo is a small town with a population of less than 30,000.

"It is a pleasure to host you today." "I love Apple." "I want to especially welcome you to this campus. This campus serves as a kind of second home for many of us, so it's kind of like inviting you in to our home." 1:03PM This room is called the Town Hall, which Tim says has quite a History The original iPod was launched here. "It went on to revolutionize the way we listen to music." 1:03PM Then there's the MacBook Air, which has "fundamentally changed the way people think about computers." 1:04PM Today we're going to be learning about innovations in software and hardware, and the integration of all of these into a "powerful yet simple integrated experience." "Apple has enormous momentum, and nowhere is that more evident than in our retail stores." Two new stores opened in China in the past week, Hong Kong and Shanghai. The Shanghai store is "absolute gorgeous," the company's largest store in Asia. 100,000 visitors stopped by on opening weekend.
