本文内容为2011年9月中级口译翻译部分汉译英真题。
原文:越来越多受英文教育的海外华人父母,已经认识到孩子在掌握不可或缺的英文的同时,也通晓中文的重要性。
中国的崛起,让他们充分认识到孩子掌握双语的好处——既能增加他们的就业机会,也能让他们接触和熟悉东西方两种不同的文化。
这些人对中文的态度几乎没有完全改变。
曾几何时,他们还非常骄傲地宣称自己只懂英文。
现在,他们已开始积极支持孩子学习中文和中国文化,而且还不时走访中国,欣赏壮观的自然风光,认识丰富的文化遗产。
译文:An increasing number of English-educated Chinese parents overseas have come to the realization that while English learning is indispensable to their children, it is essential that their kids have a good command of Chinese. China’s rise has fully awakened their awareness of the fact that their kids can benefit from their bilingual ability which can not only enhance their competitiveness in the job market, but also facilitate their exposure to and familiarity with the two different cultures between the East and the West.They have hardly changed their attitudes towards Chinese. At one time they proudly declared that they knew English only. Now, they have begun to give full support to their kids learning Chinese and its culture, and they also make occasional visits to China, where they can enjoy its magnificent natural landscape and get to know its rich cultural heritage.。
经典中级口译真题答案和讲评(二)TRANSLATION TEST (2) (30 MINUTES)Directions: Translate the following passage into English and write your version in the corresponding space in your ANSWER BOOKLET.我总以为,在中国效率的会议要数学校召集的家长会。
家长会完全符合“廉政建议”的要求,与会的家长绝不会像参加行业、单位的一些会议,先看看会议地点是不是设在风景旅游区,会后发不发纪念品之类,然后方决定是否参加。
其他会议都难得准时,惟有家长会绝对正点召开。
在家长会上,家长们个个全神贯注地倾听、记录,生怕漏掉一点内容。
不少会议都可列入可开可不开之列,但对于学校和家长而言,家长会则是必不可少的。
分析:① 我总以为,在中国效率的会议要数 ( 学校召集的 ) 家长会。
译文: I always believe that the most efficient meeting in China is the parents’ meeting called by the school.考点:“家长会”的翻译:“家长会”翻译成 the parents’meeting ,而不是 the parent’s meeting ,有人认为家长会一般只是一位家长参加,应用 parent 单数,不过这是专业表达方法。
关于会议集锦请参考 1997 年 9 月试题中译英部分。
比较级的翻译:级:效率的→most efficient定语从句的翻译:前置法② 家长会完全符合“廉政建议”的要求,与会的家长绝不会像参加 ( 行业、单位的 ) 一些会议,先看看会议地点是不是设在风景旅游区,会后发不发纪念品之类,然后方决定是否参加。
译文: The parents’meeting is in full conformity/accordance with the requirements for the “building of an honest and clean government”. With respect to meetings organized by a certain trade or the unit where one works, the person wants to know whether the venue of a meeting is in a scenic area frequented by tourists and whether gifts or souvenirGetWord(“souvenir”); s will be handed out after the meeting before he decides whether to go or not. But for the parents’ meeting, nobody will ever think of this.考点:专业名词的翻译:廉政建议→building of anhonest and clean government转性译法:发纪念品→gifts or souvenirs will be handed out省词译法:原文中“ 与会的家长”,不少的考生把它翻译成 the parents who attend the meeting ,其实翻了一个逻辑错误,因为后面提到“方决定是否参加”,说明参加不参加不一定,因此前面就不能讲“已经参加了”,所以“与会的家长”中“与会的”就不必翻译了。

According to the projections by the United Nations Population Division, the world population will increase from 6.8 billion today to 9 billion by 2050. Sixty-five to ninety percent of the inland capture fish production takes place in the developing and low-income food-deficit countries. The World Bank"s forecast for 2020 suggests that 826 million people, or 12.8 percent, of developing country citizens will be living on US $1.25 a day or less and that there will be almost 2 billion poor people living at or below the US $2 a day poverty line. The growing population will need significant increase in food production at affordable prices.More land, including wetlands, will be used, and some will be used more intensively, as agricultural food production expands during decades. This will result in increased use of agrochemicals with serious negative consequences for inland fisheries.The demand for water for both irrigation and domestic purposes will continue to increase, leading to reduced availability of water for fisheries, especially during the dry season. There will be attempts to transfer water between separate basins, with unpredictable consequences for biodiversity. There are also already plans to connect large rivers and transform them into shipping lanes linking distant cities, provinces and countries in areas with poorly developed rail and road infrastructure. There is expected to be increased demand for energy, including hydropower—leading to further damming of rivers.The need for animal protein, including fish, will increase. Most marine fish stocks are already exploited. Despite increases in aquaculture production, fishing pressure will increase on inland fish stocks, and there will probably be a rise in unsustainable fishing methods, such as the use of explosives and poison, electrofishing and dry pumping of small natural waterbodies. These methods are all capable of killing large amounts of fish indiscriminately.解析:takes place解析:The World Bank"s forecast解析:will be living on解析:poverty line解析:at affordable prices解析:more intensively解析:result in解析:The demand for water解析:reduced availability解析:transfer解析:to connect large rivers解析:linking distant cities解析:leading to解析:will increase解析:Despite解析:fishing pressure解析:explosives and poison解析:small natural waterbodies解析:large amounts of fish三、B: Listening Comprehension(总题数:0,分数:0.00)四、Ⅰ.

It"s just down this road. It"s a small place, but at least it would be our own. W: A farm? How can we afford to buy a farm?M: It isn"t very large, only 40 acres.

M: Yes, and we can probably grow a lot of our own food.W: What are you thinking about growing, if we do take this place?M: Well, it really isn"t big enough for corn. I thought we might try to raise a crop of potatoes. W: Potatoes? They are a lot of work.M: We are used to hard work, aren"t we?W: Yes, we are, but the money. Do we have enough to get started?

Because of the climate and the expense involved in going out for the evening, many British people spend a lot of time at home and a large part of their social life takes place there.Young people tend to stay with their families longer these days as accommodation is expensive but, when they move away to a job or college, there are various options open to them. They can get lodgings with a landlady. This means that they rent a room in someone"s house and have breakfast with the family. They can also get a bed-sitting room, that is to say one self-contained room in which they can cook, live and sleep. Alternatively, they can share a rented flat or house with a group of young people, perhaps the most popular option of all.According to the speaker, British people like to do three jobs about the house they live in. Which of the following is Not one of them?A.To save time.B.To save money. √C.To enjoy solitude.D.To de housework.解析:[听力原文]Why do many British people prefer to stay at home for the evening?A.They can have breakfast with the family. √B.They will feel at home in no time.C.They can learn cooking.D.They pay less for it.解析:[听力原文]What is the advantage in getting lodgings with a landlady for college students?A.Getting lodgings with a landlady.B.Renting a bed-sitting room.C.Sharing a rented flat or house with other students. √D.Living at home and commuting to and from school.解析:[听力原文]What is the most popular option of accommodation for young people who move away to college?

The worst time was when my apartment was burglarized.I got home and saw the lock on my door had been broken and the apartment was ransacked. W: What was taken?M: They took my camera, my laptop, my paperwork. I lost irreplaceable personal items.W: Were you scared?M: No, I was angry. And I felt helpless, because I knew I could never find out what really happened. And I knew I"d never get my stuff back. It"s like a feeling of violation when you know that someone has broken into your private space and taken your things. I called the police so that I could have a record of what was stolen for tax purposes. But, they never caught the thief.W: And that wasn"t the first time you were robbed.M: No. I"ve had things taken by pickpockets. Once someone took my cellphone on the subway and there was a letter from my girl-friend in it that I liked to carry around with me. Not really important, I suppose, but it had symbolic value and when something like that happens, you lose a part of your past. That time, I felt angry at myself because they always tell you not to put your cellphone in your back pocket.What was Andrew"s worst experience as a victim of a crime?A.A camera.B.A laptop.C.A TV set. √D.Paperwork.解析:[听力原文]Andrew mentioned several things that had been stolen.

There are three main elements that combine to create either a positive or negative experience for listeners. They can result in a voice that is pleasing to listen to and can be used effectively, or they can create a voice that doesn"t hold the attention, or even worse, causes an adverse reaction. The three elements are volume, pitch and pace. When evaluating volume, keep in mind that a good speaker will adjust to the size of both the room and the audience. Of course, with an amplifying device like a microphone, the speaker can use a natural tone. But the speaker should not he dependent on microphones. A good speaker can speak loudly without shouting. The second element—pitch is related to the highness and lowness of the sounds. High pitches are for most people more difficult to listen to, so in general the speaker should use the lower registers of the voice. During a presentation, it"s important to vary pitch to some extent in order to maintain interest. The third element, pace, that is how fast or slow words and sounds are articulated, should also be varied. A slower pace can be used to emphasize important points. Note that the time spent not speaking can be meaningful too. Pauses ought to be used to signal transitions or create anticipation. Because a pause gives the listener time to think about what was just said or even to predict what might come next, it can be very effective when moving from one topic to another. What I would like you to do now is watch and listen to a video disc and use the forms I gave you to rate the speaking voices you hear. Then tonight I want you to go home and read a passage into a recorder and evaluate your own voice.What is the main topic of this talk?e a microphone to make his voice heard to every listener.B.Adjust his voice to the size of the room and the audience. √C.Speak loudly without using a microphone.D.Speak in a natural tone pleasing to listeners.解析:[听力原文]As far as volume is concerned, what should a speaker do when addressing listeners?A.To emphasize important points. √B.To signal a transition to the next topic.C.To stimulate interest from listeners.D.To keep listeners in suspense.解析:[听力原文]According to the talk, why should a speaker use a slower pace in a speech?A.Watch and listen to a video disc.B.Rate the voice of effective speakers.C.Record a good speaker"s voice.D.Evaluate their own voice in a recorder. √解析:[听力原文]What does the lecturer want listeners to do when they go home?(分数:4.00)A.$25.B.$27.C.$30. √D.$32.Rona: Hello. May I speak to Mr. Phillips in the Sales Department?Phillips: Phillips speaking.Rona: Hello, Mr. Phillips. This is Rona Waters from Field Wholesale Electricals.Phillips: Rona, how are you?Rona: Fine.

What about larger quantities—for example, what about putting in a quantity order of around 500?Phillips: Well, I don"t have any figures for those sorts of quantities, but I know we"ve got one customer who gets 15 percent on 500.Rona: I see, so that would be... er... $25.5 per unit?Phillips: Correct, I"d have to confirm that.Rona: Sure, I understand.Phillips: There"s another point to mention which is payment terms. Would you be interested in a discount for early payment?Rona: What sort of figure do you have in mind?Phillips: Well, we"re prepared to offer two percent for payment within fifteen days.
