Distinguished Guests, ladies and Gentlemen,
I am extraordinarily happy to have witnessed the signing ceremony today because it symbolizes, for me, exactly the type of cooperation that we need and that is a cooperative endeavor which will bring in more investment and lead to more cooperation.
This is after months of hard work, from developing the concept, soliciting interest from private sector, encouraging Government departments to offer services, to the signing of the contract today with the establishment of the joint venture: the Shenzhen Networking Technology Company (SNTC).
Our partner in this exciting venture has been selected after a rigorous evaluation process and its proposal has been rated the best after the combined technical and financial assessments. SNTC is a joint venture of Star Corporation and Digital Technology Company: companies with strong technical and marketing expertise and financial background.
Ladies and gentlemen, our vision is to make Shenzhen a leading digital city in the globally connected world in the 21 century. The establishment of SNTC will be an important step towards that goal.

值此第五届中国投资贸易洽谈会召开之际，我谨代表中国政府，向来自世界各地的嘉宾表示热烈的欢迎！下面，我将和各位嘉宾简要谈谈中国加入世贸组织后外商投资中国西部的新机遇。
21世纪的中国，是更加开放的中国。目前，中国政治稳定、经济发展、社会和睦、人民安居乐业。
不久前，北京申办2008年奥运会取得成功。这将与加入世贸组织一起，加速推动中国的改革开放和经济发展。我希望进一步促进外商参与中国西部大开发，推动广大的西部地区加快经济和社会发展的进程。
世界各国各地区不少有远见卓识的企业家都将目光投向了中国，投向了西部，并从投资活动中获得了丰厚的回报。我们真诚的希望，各国各地区的企业和其他各界人士，抓住历史机遇，积极来华开展贸易合作与交流，携手共创美好未来。

Over the long term, China will continue with economic reforms to make its economy more efficient and open to the international market. Right now, china’s system of trade subsidies and the inconvertibility of China’s currency tend to restrict the development of foreign trade and investment in China.
The main problem is the inconvertibility of China’s currency. This is very difficult for joint ventures to balance their foreign exchange income and expenditures, particularly high-technology joint ventures that need to spend foreign exchange to import most of their parts and components. If the joint ventures sell its products in China, it can only earn RMB, which cannot be easily converted into foreign exchange. As a result, many foreign companies are unable to set up the high-tech joint ventures that the Chinese government wants.
A second problem is the lack of transparency in China’s investment regulations and a lack of consistency in the implementation of these regulations. This creates uncertainty for foreign companies about China’s investment environment and therefore also discourages investment. If these two problems could be improved, investment from foreign companies would certainly increase.
Passage B
在中国，假日旅游是一大赚钱项目，仅100个主要旅游点的门票总收入就可达到约3亿8000万元。这些旅游点包括北京的长城、山东的泰山和西藏自治区的布达拉宫。// 然而，人们的观光热情似乎有所降低，旅游并非假日的首选娱乐项目。最近的一次调查显示，在7100名调查对象中，仅有14.8% 的人表示要假期要出去旅游。//
一些旅游点人流过多，难以管理，旅行社服务质量低劣，是造成旅游热情降低的主要原因。如果服务业总是处在如此低水平的状态，那么假日经济是不可能成熟的。// 在近期游客的投诉电话中，大部分问题都与恶劣的服务质量有关。与此同时，专家业发出警告，假期中游客饱和，这可能给文化和自然景点造成灾难性的破坏。
Holiday tourism in China is a big moneymaking business. The total income from entrance tickets alone at 100 major tourist spots could hit about 380 million yuan. These places of interests include the Great Wall in Beijing, Mount Tai in Shangdong Province, and the Potala Palace in the Tibet Autonomous Region.// However, people’s enthusiasm for sightseeing seems to cool down, and tourism is not the top holiday program of entertainment. A recent survey showed that only 14.8 percent among some 7,100 respondents might go on a tour during the holiday.// Unmanageable crowd of people at some tourism spots and poor services of the travel agencies are the major reasons for the declining interest in tourism. If the service industry stays at such a low level, it’s impossible for the holiday economy to mature. // recently, most customer complaint calls have been associated with bad service. Meanwhile, experts have warned that tourist-saturated holidays could prove disastrous for cultural and natural sites.
Passage C
As often as you might have seen it on TV or in a movie, there’s nothing that prepares you for that first sight of Las Vegas, which is true original with nothing like it in America or in the world. Once you get to Vegas, you’ll want to come back again, maybe only to make sure you didn’t dream it all.// Las Vegas can be whatever a visitor wants, and for a few days, you can be whatever you want, rising at noon, gorging in endless amounts of rice food at 3 am, and watching your money grow or shrink. After a while, it will all seem pretty normal to you, for Vegas is about fun. So why not go and have some?//
Gambling is the main attraction of Las Vegas and the rest is so much window dressing to lure you and your money to the city. Unfortunately, the days of an inexpensive Las Vegas vacation are gone. Though the cheap buffets still exist, as do some cut-rate rooms, remember, you can only get what you pay for. // In its own way, Vegas is every bit as amazing as the nearby Grand Canyon, and every bit as much as a must-see; it’s one of the Seven Wonders of the Artificial World. It’s awfully wonderful and everyone should experience it at least once. People can love it, or loathe it, or both, and that’s how people feel about Vegas.
尽管你在电影电视上可能经常看到拉斯维加斯，但是一旦你身临其境，还是会诧异不已。这座城市是一种真正的独创，在美国，或者在全世界都是独一无二的。拉斯维加斯让你去了还想去，或许仅仅是为了证实一回你不是在做梦。// 拉斯维加斯可以满足游客的一切愿望。而在拉斯维加斯的几天里，你也可以随心所欲。你可以睡到中午才起床，在凌晨3点狼吞虎咽大量的美食，看着自己的钞票来得快去得也快。过上一段时间，这一切对你来说就会非常正常了，因为拉斯维加斯是一座追求娱乐得城市，那么为什么不去找点乐子呢？
拉斯维加斯最吸引人的是赌博，其余的大都是绚丽的外表，为的是把你和你的钞票引诱到这座城市来。不幸的是，花少量的钱在拉斯维加斯度假的时代已经一去不复返了。虽然便宜的自助餐和降价客房依然存在，但要记住，一份价钱一分货。// A凭借自身的特点，拉斯维加斯完全跟附近的大峡谷一样令人叹为观止，你一样不可错过。拉斯维加斯是人造世界中的七大奇迹之一。它妙不可言，所有人都应该至少去一次。人们可以爱它，可以恨它，乃至于爱恨交加。这就是人们对拉斯维加斯的感受。

中口口试必备口语试题准备材料（topic1-20） Topic1. China’s Developments and Achievements No one can refuse to admit that there are many achievements of China in recent decades. I know some of them, such as economic reform, joining to the WTO, and successfully bidding to host the Olympic Games in 2008 and so on. They are significant and outstanding achievements. Chinese people benefit a lot from these great achievements. Firstly, people’s living standards have been improved significantly over the past 10 years. A huge number of families have a TV, a computer, a refrigerator and so on, and the most important thing is that most families have a bright and big house. Secondly, peop le’s daily life becomes more colorful and meaningful, recent years bring people a lot of recreational activities, such as computer video games, movies, and internet. Conversely, 10 years ago, we still had not these abundant and colorful campaigns. Of course, there are still a lot of things which should be done in the next 10 years. We should continue to support our economic development and investment, to protect the environment, to cut down the greenhouse gas emissions and to consolidate our military and defense systems. Topic2. An unforgettable graduation ceremony I’d like to say the graduation cerem ony of my senior high school. The only thing that I don’t forget is the speech of principal in my senior high school hall. During the ceremony, I clearly listened to his words with great spirits for all of us. His eyes were filled with hope, which seems like that he told us about how to overcome so many difficulties in the future. His words really attracted all the students and teachers. He told us that we shouldn’t give up at any time, because we must try our best to do everything we could. After the graduation ceremony, I promised to myself that I should continue to study harder in order to have enough experience and knowledge to be a better person who can make more contributions to the whole society.

9月中级口译真题+参考答案(4) Questions 16-20 We are moving inexorably into the age of automation. Our aim is not to devise a mechanism which can perform a thousand different actions of any individual man but, on the contrary, one which could by a single action replace a thousand men. Industrial automation has moved along three lines. First there is the conveyor belt system of continuous production whereby separate operations are linked into a single sequence. The goods produced by this well-established method are untouched by the worker, and the machine replaces both unskilled and semiskilled. Secondly, there is automation with feedback control of the quality of the product: here mechanisms are built into the system which can compare the output with a norm, that is, the actual product with what it is supposed to be, and then correct any shortcomings. The entire cycle of operations dispenses with human control except in so far as monitors are concerned. One or two examples of this type of automation will illustrate its immense possibilities. There is a factory in the U.S.A. which makes 1,000 million electric light bulbs a year, and the factory employs three hundred people. If the preautomation techniques were to be employed, the labour force required would leap to 25,000. A motor manufacturing company with 45,000 spare parts regulates their entire supply entirely by computer. Computers can be entrusted with most of the supervision of industrial installations, such as chemical plants or oil refineries. Thirdly, there is computer automation, for banks, accounting departments, insurance companies and the like. Here the essential features are the recording, storing, sorting and retrieval of information. The principal merit of modern computing machines is the achievement of their
4-3经营之道 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? 您好，杰克逊先生。你在中国已连续工作了三年，您能否谈下中美两国生意人在商务沟通方式上有何不同之处？ With pleasure. I think there are at least two differences in the way of businesspeople communication between Chinese and American businesspeople. First, Chinese businessmen tend to have business negotiations in a rather indirect manner, as opposed to the more direct manner of American businesspeople. The Chinese take time to learn if their prospective business contacts are really reliable, for example, by inviting them to a party and socializing with them. In contrast, Americans usually act with the get-down-to-business-first mentality. Second, the decision-making process of Chinese companies is generally slow and time-consuming. This is because most Chinese companies keep to the “bottom-up, then top-down and then bottom-up” decision-making principle which involves many people at different levels. American companies, on the other hand, usually operate with quick decisions made by the top management. I hope American businesspeople in China will understand these differences in business practices and adjust to the Chinese way. 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风格。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，同时他们进行交流。与之相反，美国人则以公务为先的心态行事。第二，中国公司的决策过程耗时冗长。这是因为大部分中国公司遵循者一种“先自上而下、后自下而上、再自上而下”的决策原则，各个层次上的许多人士都会介入决策过程。而美国公司通常是由最高管理人士的快速决策运作。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。 The American way of doing business often strikes us Chinese as very aggressive. Were you aware of this in your collaboration With your Chinese colleagues? 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没有注意到这一点？ Well, we are more direct and straightforward than most Chinese, I would say, due to our different cultural traditions. I notice that a lot of Chinese often avoid saying a clear “no” just to be polite. Sometimes my Chinese colleagues say “yes” not to express agreement, but only to show that they are listening. 这个嘛，我我认为，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的说一声“不”。有时我的中国同事道一声“是”，这可布什表示赞同，只是表明他们在注意对方说话而已。 It is important for all of us to acknowledge and respect these cultural differences in order to avoid misunderstandings, isn’t it?
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

投资意向 你好，罗伯茨先生 Hi,Mr.Roberts. I’d like to hear them. And I’ll be very happy if I can help you with anything. You’re very absolutely right.Overseas investment in shagnhai and its surrounding areas has quadrupled in recent years.There are many reasons for this rising investment boom,Apart from the fact that China is one of the fastest growing economies in the world,the Chinese central government and 好呀，请说。我很高兴能为您做些什么 你说的完全对。海外人士在上海及周边地区的投资近年来翻了两番。出现这一高涨不止的投资热有多种缘由。除了中国是世界上经济增长最快的国家之一这个原因外，中国政府和地方政府很重视全面对外开放，不仅开放沿海城市，也开放内地，尽可能吸引外资。另外，许多海外机构与个人投资者认为，在中国直接投资比同中国公司做生意更有利可图 好的。基本情况是这样的，外国直接在华投资可以最大限度的发挥有关双方的优势。中国幅员辽阔，自然资源丰富，廉价劳动力充裕，税收低，消费者市场不断增长，基础设施不断改善，当然咯，我们还有稳定的社会政治环境以及诱人的投资策略。这些优势难以在其他国家找到。而来自发达国家和地区的外国投资者则有充足的资金、先进的技术和管理知识。与做进出口贸易生意相比，在华直接投资则有跟高的经济回报 救我个人来说，我希望你们在上海的浦东地区投资。这倒不是因为浦东是我的家乡，而是因为浦东的确是投资者的理想场所。如果你或你的朋友有兴趣，我可以向你们提供许多研究资料。我也听说过许多关于在中国内地和其他沿海城市进行投资而获得极大成功的例子。真的很难说哪一个地方为最佳。也许应该说在某一时期的某一地点进行投资更好 投资方式很多，你可以同中方合资办公司，也可以独资办公司
