The lack of conviction in the market may be responsible for what analysts are calling a lukewarm response to a new public offering on Wall Street. Kraft Foods, the biggest US food-maker, made its trading debut Wednesday. It started off on a high note, but interest tapered off during the trading session. Some experts say it could also be that Kraft shares were priced at the top end of the price range, and investors simply felt there was no place for the stock to go in a slower economic environment.

But the last two months we've made a profit and I think we're out of the woods at last."
这个珠宝店老板说：“整整一年来，我们的生意简直糟透了，我当时担心我们恐怕得放弃这个生意，只好关门了。但是，过去两个月我们赚了一些钱，所以，我想我们终于算是脱离险境了。”

Item17-- 萧条的市场

US industrial conglomerate Honeywell and General Electric kept pressure on the Dow Jones Industrial Average, as hopes fade for European approval of their merger deal.

Big deals tend to pick up when the stock market is strong. Analyst Jim Schmidt:
“It will certainly depend on the stock market. It?s not about to change imminently becau se, as we speak now, you know, the market is still kind of lackluster, and there isn?t a real big calendar of deals coming up.

2020高级口译攻略 高级口译分为两个部分——笔试和口试，且笔试通过才能参加口试。下面就和大家分享高级口译攻略，希望能够帮助到大家，来欣赏一下吧。 高级口译攻略 听力Listening 听力(一)：Spot Dictation和Note-taking and Gap filling 这两个大题都是考察速记能力的。要求填空的内容都是听力文稿中的原话，但难点在于朗读者语速较快。提高得分率最好的办法就是多听真题和模拟题。一遍过后若没有都能听出，则再次播放直到能完全填出所有内容。训练10篇以后，则只听一遍，模拟考试状态。 听力(二)：Listening Comprehension 1. 高级口译的听力短文多数考察细节题，所以在听的过程中一定要记笔记。 2. 由于听力的题目并未在卷子上呈现，所以我们可以从选项出发对问题有一个预判。
听力(三)：Passage Translation and SentenceTranslation 1. 边听*边把握*大意与主旨 2. 速记：记录数字，日期等，还有尽可能多的细节。最后争取把记下来的点统统用上，串联成一篇*。 3. 笔记：一定要整洁、有序、条理分明。否则*内容的先后次序会受到很大的影响。 4. 用词要简单直白 阅读Reading 阅读(一)选择 1. 高口的*相对较长，所以推荐的做题方法是先看题后去*找相关句子。 2. 针对不同题型的不同解法，这里就不赘述了。(具体要结合题目，可以参考《高级口译笔试备考精要》) 3. 高口的词汇远超六级。应试者最好能背完专四。若能背完专八，则更为稳妥。 阅读(二)问答题
1. 圈画。问答题的题目较为直白，但是需要回答的内容非常非常多，而且常常涉及好几段的内容，所以一定要在*中划出重点。 2.概括与总结。抄原句费时费力，而且会使答案缺少层次与逻辑。所以一定要对原文进行概括与整合。 翻译Translation 1. 熟练掌握《中高级口译口试词汇必备》上的内容 2. 在英译中的过程中若遇难词，先考虑通过上下文推测语境义，不行则跳过。 3. 在英译中的过程中需要调整语序。不要盲目求快，要通篇阅读，确定每句话的主语再进行翻译。 4. 在中译英的过程中，首先要确定每一句话的句型，由分句到主句。 5. 在中译英的过程中，求准确是最为重要的。若译者英语水平有限，可采取逐字翻译的策略。若有能力的同学，则可以根据每句话的主语，适当变动句型，运用从句、非谓语等复杂语法。 6. 翻译完毕之后，要检查语法以及拼写。 参考书目Books For Reference

Johnson中高口翻译必背词汇精析(一) 之前，Johnson已经为大家列出了翻译考试必背课文以及考试的热点，但是，千里之行，始于足下。从今天起，Johnson将对真题和课本中的难点词汇进行精析，夯实大家的翻译基础，也为同学们顺利通过考试保驾护航。今天，我们进入第一个热点主题——“上海”。必背词汇1：开埠 open to foreign traders；become a seaport city （2010秋中口真题汉译英篇） 课本链接及精析：高口口译课本P165 中也讲到了上海的字面意思“海上之埠”，这里对“埠”应理解为“港口”的意思，所以一般翻译为“a port on the sea”或者“seaport city”. 必背词汇2：兼容并蓄 combine A with B/a (harmonious) combination of A with B（2010秋中口真题汉译英篇、2006.9高口真题汉译英） 精析：“四字格”本身就是翻译考试的一大难点及高频考点。这个“四字格”在上海文化及政治外交场合均出现过，并且横跨中高级口译，是考生必背的词汇。很多同学面对“四字格”都会莫名惶恐，这里对其应采用我课上所讲过的“减法及白话释义原则”，对其先简化为“兼并”二字并通过白话文做出简单解释，即“结合”，这样我们就可以用相应的英语单词进行对应翻译了。类似的例子还有“日新月异”（2010秋中口真题汉译英篇）等等，同学可自己想想如何运用减法
及白话释义原则进行翻译，而考场上，条条大路通罗马，只要做出合理解释，都是过关的好译文。 Johnson 精析中高口翻译必背词汇（二） 在这一讲中，让我们聚焦经贸类词汇，参考课文是中口翻译课本206页的《中美经贸发展与中美关系》。 需要重点识记的是课文中的高频经贸趋势类词汇，具体归纳如下： 积极趋势词汇： 推动(v.) propel, promote 这是政经中经常出现的模板词，包括“推动经济建设”及课文中的“推动新世纪中美关系全面健康发展”等等。在这里，最精确的译法是“propel”, 这是个很具画面感的词，其名称“propeller”表示飞机的推进器，非常形象。但考生如果出现考场提笔忘字的现象，不妨采用“绕译法”译为“promote”，这是个“百搭”词汇，既可以表示“推动”，也可以表示“促进”、“提高”等等。用这种方式，未必完美，但至少完整，可保证考试时及格的底线分。 消极趋势词汇： 波折(n.) fluctuations, twists and turns, ups and downs 衍生政治类相关用词：动乱(n.)：chaos, turmoil,turbulence
历年口译考试都有大量特色词汇出现，而且呈现较高的重现率，我们发现了这一现象，从而对历年口译笔试中高频词汇作了总结汇总如下，希望对参加09年9月笔试的考生的备考有所帮助！ Allocate 分配 Arise出现 Attach赋予粘上 Characterize以。。。为特色的 Charge收费 Collect收集 Contaminate污染 Degrade使降级 Depreciate贬值 Desert抛弃 Endanger危害 Imitate模仿 Incur 招致，引发 Inflict造成 Lavish浪费 Maximize最大化 Oblige强迫 Overcome克服 Prohibit禁止 Pursue追求 Quit放弃 Sacrifice 牺牲 Spread传播 Steer驶向，掌舵 Trigger引发，触发 Abuse虐待，滥用 Acquire 获取 Detect侦查 Innovate改革创新 Participate参与 Survive生存 Vanish消失 Wither退化，萎缩
