Unit eleven学术性口译Interpreting Academic Speeches English-Chinese Interpretation（英译汉）11-1语言系统The Linguistic SystemThere are three thousand languages spoken today. Some people even believe that there are as many ass five thousand languages that are still living today. These languages are very different one from another. Indeed, they are so different as to be mutually unintelligible that we call them separate languages. A speaker of one of them, no matter how skillful and fluent, cannot communicate with a speaker of another unless one of them, as we say, “learns the other’s language.”Yet these differences, great as they are, are differences of detail—differences of the kinds of sounds used and the ways of putting them together. In their broad outlines, in their basic principles, and even in the way they approach certain specific problems of communication, languages have a great deal in common.今天人们所说的语言达3000种，有人甚至认为活的语言至今还有5000种之多。

Part II 实践与实战11.1.中医的魅力口译基础P198音频位置：实践与实战11.1如今，隔三差五坐飞机来北京看中医的外国人屡见不鲜。

日前，一位患病的美国医生给北京中医医院打来越洋长途，跟内科专家张志真预约下次看病的时间。

不愿接受激素治疗的他，每三个月坐着飞机到中国来看一次中医，因为确实见效，已坚持了一年多。

像这样的外国人还有很多，他们中有带着病寻访名医的；有旅游累了让中医给放松放松的；也有“小病大养”，要求在这里住院，顺便享受一下药膳和药浴的；还有什么病都没有，就为专程来瞧瞧中医是怎么看病的。

在他们眼里，中医的针灸推拿是那么神秘和优雅。

不远万里看中医，外籍患者的病可谓五花八门。

大到肿瘤，心脏病，小到失眠，肥胖。

各国对中医中药的了解也不尽相同，日本人特别信按摩推拿，欧洲人对针灸情有独钟，美国人爱拔火罐。

时间一长，大夫们总结出外国人看中医的一些规律：圣诞节前后是他们就诊的高峰期，好多人都是利用长假来中国旅游加看病。

外国人对中医中药表现出的虔诚出乎中医大夫们的意料。

一位喀麦隆患者吃过中药后，称中药为“苦咖啡”，并告诉同伴喝“苦咖啡”是一种享受。

皮肤科医生告诉一位法国牛皮癣患者应该注意饮食，病人立刻掏出小本，将什么能吃，什么不能吃一字不落地开出单子。

看来，中医的魅力还真的不小。

11.1.中医的魅力译文Many foreigners fly to Beijing for traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) treatment. The other day, an American patient made a long-distance phone call for a reservation with Doctor Zhang Zhizhen at Beijing Chinese Medical Hospital. Instead of using hormones, he has flown to China every three months for Chinese medical treatment. And it has worked. He kept seeing Chinese doctors for over a year. He is not alone. Some foreigners seek famous doctors for treatment, some just feel tired in their travel and want relaxation through TCM, some simply want to enjoy medical food and baths, and some come all the way here just to see how people are treated with TCM. In their eyes, TCM, like massage and cupping, are very mysterious and graceful.Their diseases are varied, like tumors, heart disease, insomnia and obesity. Their understanding of TCM also differs: Japanese believe in massage, Europeans favor acupuncture, Americans like cupping. Some experienced doctors find the time before and after Christmas is the peak season for treatment, because during the holiday the foreign patients can travel to China to see a doctor.The foreigners’ devotion is beyond TCM doctors’ expectation. A Cameroonian patient called TCM “bitter coffee”, and recommended it to his countrymen as a sort of enjoyment. A psoriasis patient from France, when being given by the doctor some tips on diet, carefully noted down every word of the instruction. These examples can show how much fascination TCM has.11.2 Medical Advice 口译基础P199音频位置：实践与实战11.2It is never nice to fall sick or ill in a strange country. What happens if you do and need to seek medical help? Let us provide you with some useful medical advice and tips regarding seeking medical help or assistance in China.Though many hospitals in China practice Western medical treatment system, a good percentage practice traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Increasingly, a large percentage of hospitals now practice a mixture of Western and Chinese medicine. Some can offer a full range of medical services such as operations, check-ups and in-patient facilities while other smaller clinics may simply be able to diagnose the symptoms of minor ailments.The first thing you should know about local medical services is the emergency call number 120. You can call 120 from anywhere. An ambulance will normally arrive in a few minutes but traffic conditions can cause delays.Most Chinese will visit a local hospital. If your company doesn’t cover medical expenses or you can’t find a Wes tern clinic because you are in a much smaller town, you can also try visiting a local Chinese hospital. If you wish to do what the Chinese do, and you’ve decided to see a doctor in a local public hospital, you should have an interpreter accompany you as most of the doctors and nurses don’t speak English fluently.Treatments are mostly western medical techniques including diagnosis, medication, injection or the necessary scans. However, medications can be a mixture of Western and Chinese drugs. Your doctor may give you a prescription for you to buy medicine in a drugstore, most of the time at the lobby of the out-patient section building. Go to a drugstore, show the chemist the prescription and you’ll be given what you need. Medicines in independent drugstor es are often cheaper than those in hospital pharmacies.11.2 Medical Advice 译文在陌生的国家生病从来都不是什么好事。

It all started back in 1849, when Charles Pfizer & Company opened as a fine-chemicals business. It was a modest red-brick building in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn, New York. It served as office, laboratory, factory, and warehouse. The company’s first product was santonin – a palatable anti-parasitic which was an immediate success. For the past 154 years, Pfizer has been discovering, developing, manufacturing, and marketing leading prescription medicines for humans and animals and many of the world’s best-known consumer brands.追根溯源，1849年，查尔斯•辉瑞公司宣告成立，经营精细化学品。
