3月高级口译听力Passage Translation 答案+评析Passage translation 1Mass urbanization of the world’s population is an unprecedented trend worldwide. The most important reason why people are moving to cities is economic. People are moving to the cities because that’s where they can find jobs and earn money. Until the 20th century, the major source of employment, full and part-time, was farming. Now, according to recent statistics, no more than 15 percent of all jobs are connected to farming. Jobs now are being created in information technology, manufacturing and service areas, such as tourism and financing, and all of these new jobs are in or around major cities.译文:世界人口大规模的城市化在世界范围内达到史无前例的规模。
驱使人们不断涌向城市的最重要原因是经济因素。
人们都涌向城市是因为在城里可以找到工作和挣钱。
在20世纪以前,就业的主要途径,不管是全职还是兼职,一直都是农耕。
而现在,根据最近的统计数据,只有不到15%的工作是和农业相关的。
越来越多的工作产生于信息技术产业、制造业和服务行业,如旅游业和融资,而所有这些新兴工作都在大城市及其周边地区。
20110529人事部笔译三级英译汉真题The prehistoric monument of Stonehenge stands tall in the British countryside as one of the last remnants of the Neolithic Age. Recently it has also become the latest symbol of another era: the new fiscal austerity.A plan to replace the site’s run-down visitors center with one almost five times bigger and to close a busy road that runs along the 5,000-year-old monument had to be mothballed in June. The British government had suddenly withdrawn £10 million, or $16 million, in financing for the project as part of a budget austerity.Stonehenge, once a temple with giant stone slabs aligned in a circle to mark the passage of the sun, is among the most prominent victi ms of the government’s spending cuts. The decision was heavily criticized by local lawmakers, especially because Stonehenge, a UNESCO W orld Heritage site, was part of London’s successful bid to host the 2012 Olympic Games. The shabby visitors’ center ther e now is already too small for th e 950,000 people who visit Stonehenge each year, let alone the additional onslaught of tourists expected for the Games, the official says.Stonehenge is the busiest tourist attraction in Britain’s southwest, topping even Windsor Castle. But no major impro vements havebeen made to the facilities there since they were built 40 years ago. For now, portable toilets lead from a crammed parking lot, a makeshift souvenir shop in a tent, a ticket office opposite a small kiosk that sells coffee and snacks.The overhaul was scheduled for next spring in 2011. The plan,held by Denton Corker Marshall, the architectural firm, would keep the stone monument itself unchanged. But the current ticket office and shop would be demolished and a new visitors center would be built on the other side of the monument, about 2.5 kilometers, or 1.5 miles, from the stones. The center would have included a shop almost five times the size of the current one, a proper restaurant, three times as many parking spots and an exhibition space to provide more information about Stonehenge’s history.A transit system would have shuttled visitors between the center and the stones while footpaths would have encouraged tourists to walk to the monument and explore the surrounding burial hills. The closed road would be grassed over to improve the surrounding landscape.Last year, the £27 million project won the backing of former Prime Minister Gordon Brown. After more than 25 years of bickering with local communities about how and where to build the new center, planning permission was granted in January. Construction was supposed to start and be completed in time for the Olympics, but the economic recession has changed.The new prime minister, David Cameron, has reversed many of his predecessor’s promi ses as part of a program to cut more than £99 billion annually over a period of five years to help to close a gaping budget deficit. The financing for Stonehenge fell in the first round of cuts, worth about £6.2 billion, from the budget for the current year, along with support for a hospital and t he British Film Institute.English Heritage, a partly government-financed organization that owns Stonehenge and more than 400 other historic sites in the country, is now aggressively looking for private donations.But the economic downturn has made the endeavor more difficult.Loraine Knowles, Stonehenge’s project director, said she was disappointed that the government had withdrawn money while continuing to support museums in London. But she said she was hopeful that English Heritage could raise the money elsewhere. Stonehenge, she said, could then also become “a shining example of how philanthropy could work.”。

A majority of the world’s climate scientists have convinced themselves, and also a lot of laymen, some of whom have political power, that the Earth’s climate is changing; that the change, from humanity’s point of view, is for the worse; and that the cau se is human activity, in the form of excessive emissions of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide. A minority, though, are sceptical. Some think that recent data suggesting the Earth’s average temperature is rising are explained by natural variations in solar radiation, and that this trend may be coming to an end. Others argue that there is no conclusive evidence that modern temperatures are higher than they used to be. we believe that global warming is a serious threat, and that the world needs to take steps to try to avert it. That is the job of the politicians. But we do not believe that climate change is a certainty. There are no certainties in science. Prevailing theories must be constantly tested against evidence, and more evidence collected, and the theories tested again. That is the job of the scientists.

Ds have produced a corps of technicians, aides, speechwriters, symbol manufactures, investigators, and policy proposers who are now employed by practical men in all institutions. These people, called intellectuals in the sense that they deal with symbols and ideas, have become professionalized in exactly the same sense as the engineer. Unlike the engineer, however, these professional intellectuals are free from much of the routine grind of daily work: they carry light teaching load and enjoy government and foundation grants and subsidies for their research.The professor’s project budget is the initial economic base that supports his independence within the university. The project budget sustains both the existence of graduate students and the fiscal solvency of the university, which takes a percentage “overhead” out of every project budget. The major feature of project money, whether its source is government or business, is that it is given on a contractual basis, a different contract for each project, so that the investigator’s independence rests upon his capacity to secure a succession of contracts.

3月英语高级口译考试真题(3)SECTION 3: TRANSLATION TESTDirections: Translate of the following passage into Chinese and write your version in the corresponding space in your ANSWER BOOKLET.The popular view when discussing urban transportation in American cities to day is to decry its sorry state. Newspapers and journals are filled with talk of an “urban transportation crisis,” of the “difficulties of getting from here to there,” and so on at great length. Matters are reported to be getting worse - and very quickly. Everyone has his own favorite traumatic experience to report: of the occasion when many of the switches froze on New York’s commuter railroads; of the sneak snowstorm in Boston that converted thirty-minute commuter trips into seven hour ordeals; of the extreme difficulties in Chicago and other Midwestern cities when some particularly heavy and successive snowstorms were endured.One reason for the talk of an urban transportation crisis in the United States today perhaps lies in a failure to meet anticipations. Many commuters expected to reduce their commuting times as systems improved, but instead found themselves barely able to maintain the status quo in terms of time requirements. Another reason for talk of crisis, almost certainly, is that the rate of improvement in the performance of urban transportation systems during rush hours has been markedly inferior to that expected during off-peak hours. Specifically, the ability to move quickly about American cities during non-rush hors has improved in a truly phenomenal fashion.SECTION 4: LISTENING TESTPart A: Note-taking And Gap-fillingDirections: In this part of the test you will hear a short talk.

People have realized the way you control your feelings is just as important as your __________ (4), maybe, even more important.The focus of today’s session is: can you learn EQ? Some __________ (5)school teachers think that some kids have __________ (6)EQs than others. Even at five or six years old, some of the kids tend to be much more __________ (7)and __________ (8)than others. Another example is that kids deal with __________ (9)in different ways. One may get frustrated with a __________ (10)problem, but another child, with a higher EQ, might be able to handle the situation better. She might try __________ (11)ways to approach the problem, or ask for __________ (12).Can you __________ (13)to have a higher EQ? People seem to have different views on this question. Most of the people believe that the answer to this question is __________ (14). For example, kids can be __________ (15)to have patience and not to give up when things go wrong. They learn to respond well to their __________ (16). But others don’t agree. They find that some people never learn to __________ (17)their EQ. The problem is that people with a low EQ have a __________ (18)time seeing how their behavior affects other people. They see no reason to __________ (19). They’ll probably never adjust their __________ (20).Part B: Listening and Translation1. Sentence TranslationDirections: In this part of the test, you will hear 5 English sentences.

WelI,you may want to try yoga.It’s what more and more people have been turning to ease the troubles of modern life.Practically unheard of in the West until 50 years ago,yoga has become one of the most popular health trends around.Yoga schools are having difficulty keeping up with the demand.Most of the so-called yogis seem to focus on figure correction,not true awareness.They make statements about yoga being for the body,mind and soul.But this is just semantics.If one practices yoga just for health,he’d better take up walking.If one needs to cure a disease,see a doctor.Yoga is not a therapy.Nor is it a philosophy.Yoga is about inside awareness.It is the process of union of the self with the whole.Some scientists research mainly external phenomena.Yoga practitioners focus on the inside.They know that the external world is illusionary and everything inside is truth.It is essentially to train our bodies to find the most comfortable pose that we can sit in for hours.1.Passage 1正确答案:累了吗?压力太大吗?那么,你可以试试瑜珈。
2011年3月中级口译笔试真题完整版(含答案) SECTION 1: LISTENING TEST (45 minutes) Part A: Spot Dictation Directions: In this part of the test, you will hear a passage and read the same passage with blanks in it. Fill in each of the blanks with the word or words you have heard on the tape. Write your answer in the corresponding space in your ANSWER BOOKLET. Remember you will hear the passage ONLY ONCE. My topic for today’s lecture is communication, culture and work. When most people use the word culture, they think of people from different national backgrounds. National cultures certainly do exist and they play an important role in shaping the way people communicate, but there are other dimensions of culture too. Within a nation, regional differences can exert a powerful influence on communication. New Yorkers and Alaskans may find one another’s styles of behaving so different that they might as well be from different countries. Race and ethnicity can also shape behavior. So can age. The customs, values and attitudes of a twenty-year-old girl may vary radically from those of her parents who were raised in the 1960s or her grandparents who lived through the Great Depression and World War Ⅱ. Still, other differences can create distinctive cultures. Gender, sexual orientation, physical disabilities, religion and socio-economic background are just a few. All of these factors lead to a definition of culture as a set of values, beliefs, norms, customs, rules and codes that lead people to define themselves as a distinct group, giving them a sense of commonality. It’s important to realize that culture is learned, not innate. A Korean-born infant adopted soon after her birth by American parents and raised in the United States will think and act differently than his or her cousins who grew up in Seoul. An African American who grew up in the inner city will view the world differently than he or she would if raised in the suburbs or in a country like France where African heritage has different significance than it does in the United States. The norms and values we learn as part of our cultural conditioning shape the way we view the world and the way we interact with one another. In short, culture has such an overwhelming influence on communication that famous anthropologist Edward Hall once remarked, ‘culture is communication and communication is culture.’ 【解析】 作为中口笔试听力第一题Spot Dictation,考试选用了文化题材的内容,考生对此类型题材应该并不陌生,但若不集中注意力,也会比较难把握文章的层次。

2011年下半年英语笔译三级考试真题分享到:sanitation. It also recommends that foreign aid be more directed toward these problems. Clearly, this approach relies heavily on government intervention, something Bjorkman readily acknowledged. But there are some market-based approaches as well.By offering cut-rate connections to poor people to the water mainline, the private water utility in Abidjan, Ivory Coast, has steadily increased access to clean water, according to the agency’s report. A subsidy may not even be necessary, despite the agency’s proposals, if a country can harness the economic benefits of providing clean water.People who receive clean water are much less likely to die from water-borne diseases - a common malady in the developing world - and much more likely to enjoy long, productive, taxpaying lives that can benefit their host countries. So if a government is trying to raise financing to invest in new infrastructure, it might find receptive ears in private credit markets - as long as it can harness the return. Similarly, private companies may calculate that it is worth bringing clean water to an area if its residents are willing to pay back the investment over many years.In the meantime, some local solutions are being found. In Thailand, Bjorkman said, some small communities are taking challenges like water access upon themselves. "People organize themselves in groups to leverage what little resources they have to help their communities," he said. "That’s especially true out in the rural areas. They invest their money in revolving funds and saving schemes, and they invest themselves to improve their villages. "It is not always easy to take these solutions and replicate them in other countries, though. Assembling a broad menu of different approaches can be the first step in finding the right solution for a given region or country.Section 2 Chinese-English Translation ( 50 points )Translate the following passage into English.即使遇到丰收年景,对中国来说,要用世界百分之七的耕地养活全球五分之一的人口仍是一项艰巨的任务。

Someone you had great confidence in,surely.But several lines of research show that our instincts about where to mm to for counsel are often not completely correct.My research looks at prejudices that affect how people use advice,including why they often blindly follow recommendations from people who —as far as they know—are as knowledgeable as they are.In studies I conducted with Don Moore of Carnegie Mellon University,for example,I found mat people tend to overvalue advice when the problem they’re addressing is hard and to undervalue it when the problem is easy.In our experiments.subjects were asked to guess the weight of people in various pictures,some of which were in focus and some of which wereunclear.For each picture,subjects guessed twice:the first time without advice and the second time with input from another participant.When the pictures were in focus,we found,subjects tended to discount the advice;apparently,they were confident in their ability to guess correctly.When the pictures were unclear,subjects leaned heavily on me advice of others and seemed less secure about their initial opinion.Because they misjudged the value of the advice they received--consistently overvaluing or undervaluing it depending on the difficulty of the problem—our subjects did not make the best guesses overall.They would have done better if they’d considered the advice equally,and to a moderate degree,on both hard and easy tasks.Another advice—related prejudice I've found people compels to overvalue advice that they pay for.In one study conducted,subjects answered different sets of questions about American history.Before answering some of the questions, they could get advice on the correct answer from another subject whom they knew was no more expert than they were.In one version of the experiment,people could get advice for free,while in another version,they paid for it.When they paid for advice,people tended to have firm belief in it,I suspect,by a combination of sunk-cost prejudice and the nearly instinctual belief that cost and quality are linked.51.In the face of a mission—critical decision,people tend to __________.[A]trust their own efforts[B]rely on research findings[C]get affected by other’s opinion[D]seek help from the more knowledgeable52.Research shows that when faced with difficult problems people often __________.[A]discount others’ advice[B]overlook others’ advice[C]disagree with others’ advice[D]over-rely on others’ advice53.The first experiment tries to prove how objective conditions __________.[A]strengthen people’s initial opinion[B]strengthen people’s self-confidence[C]influence people’s response to advice[D]influence people’s guess of weight loss54.It can be inferred that people are likely to __________.[A]undervalue free advice[B]overvalue peer’s advice[C]misinterpret specialist’s advice[D]misjudge their instinctual belief55.The two experiments mentioned in the text reveal __________.[A]how to follow others’ advice[B]how to understand others’ advice[C]what causes people to seek advice[D]what affects people’s attitude to adviceText 3Top National Health Service(NHS)nurses will be able to earn $40,000 a year without leaving frontline patient care in a modification to salary structures. New“supernurse”grades will be created to enable the best staff to increase their salaries without having to move into management desk jobs Currently the most senior NHS nurses can earn a maximum$28,000 a year unless they are willing to withdraw from the frontline and become administrators.Hundreds of experienced and highly-qualified nurses are lost to patient care every year because of this oddity·While only a few thousand of Britain’s 332,000 NHS nurses will qualify for the$40,000 plus salary. Fast track promotion schemes and a simpler grading system will increase the pay of many more.The governmentannounced that a new simplified career structure would see just four grades replacing the existing six.Nurses will begin their careers as healthcare assistants before moving up to registered practitioner grade,followed by senior registered practitioner and ultimately consultant practitioner and a$40,000salary.“Nurses are rising to the challenge of modernization,”said a government official“These proposals will help them improve their professional role further and provide a better service to Patients·We do not think mat in order to be paid more,nurses should have to move into management·Nurses working at the sharpened of patient care should have a career structure which no longer penalizes them for wanting to stay there.”The Nursing Strategy will include proposals to allow more flexible training courses and Improve opportunities for qualified nurses who have left the profession to return in part-time roles·The Royal College of Nursing welcomed the reforms.The top salary level falls into line with figures it had presented to ministers.56 Hundreds of experienced nurses are lost to patient care every year because they__________·[A]dislike the nursing job[B]are dissatisfied with their pay[C]are replaced by“super nurses”[D]lack further training for the profession57.The new system will mostly benefit those who__________·[A]move into management[B]work on a part time basis[C]have retired from the nursing job[D]have reached the top of the system58.The new career structure is different from the existing one in its__________.[A]quality of nurses’ services[B]possibility of a job transfer[C]opportunities for promotion[D]simplicity of nurses’ grades59.The Nursing Strategy will be adopted in order to__________ .[A]provide more consultation to practitioners[B]encourage experienced nurses to work part time[C]enable the most experienced nurses to be paid more[D]promote the most experienced nurses to management60.The Royal College of Nursing __________.[A]proposed similar top salary for nurses[B]raised the management issue to ministers[C]suggested a four-grade system for nurses[D]put forward the Nursing Strategy to ministersPart BDirections:Read the texts taken from five people's comments on an article on the issue of global poverty.For questions61 to 65,match the name of each person(61to 65)to one of the statements(A to G)given below Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET 1. Ankita Agarwal:Your article made me ashamed.I've always thought of myself as not the typical self-absorbed teenager,but I guess l was wrong.While I sit in my large,warm and cozy house.Wishing for the shoes and clothes I see in teen magazines,there are people in the world wishing for something as simple as clean water. Thank you for reminding me about people who would be more than happy with what I have.Janet Tejada:What about the relationship between population,consumption and resources? After all, poverty most simply defined,is not having enough resources.The steady growth of the global population, overconsumption of resources by developed nations such as the U.S.,and increasing levelsof C0nsumption among the growing middle class in many developing nations ensure that there is ever less of the planet’salready dwindling resources to go around.Tadaship Kawabe:Extreme poverty is so tragic.Sudden natural disasters like an earthquake mobilize a large number of people and money for a short period of time,while the slow but massive wave of poverty and death in Africa doesn't attract the world’s attention in the same way. When we try to help those affected by disasters and extreme poverty,however,we shouldn’t focus on the overwhelming number of the dead but simply try to do something good for others·Jane Thomas:The poor should be trained to organize,set priorities and develop skills and resources to put their own community plans into action.What your article proposes is the conventional top-down way for doing things:outsiders determine the priorities and solutions,then throw money at them.To actually help,we must first develop our own skills and understanding.We need to find out what the poor want and what the root causes of the problems are.We have to listen to poor people.Sanjay Kathe:Concerned and sensible people’s endeavors to reduce poverty in underdeveloped countries are deserving of high praise.It is sad,however,that only a small part of the funds raised for the poor actually l each them.The generous people who donate money to reduce poverty would be more successful if they spent time in the poor nations to check first—hand the use of their funds.Now match the name of each person (61 to65) to the appropriate statement.Note: there are two extra statements.61. Ankita Agarwal62.Janet Tejada63.Tadaship Kawabe64.Jane Thomas65.Sanjay KatheStatements[A]What we should do is to help the poor help them- selves.[B]I have always been deeply grieved by the tragic disasters.[C]The root of poverty lies in the unfair distribution of resources.[D]The situation in Africa has been overlooked by the world.[E]The use of donated funds should be put under strict control.[F]People living in prosperity should cherish what they have.[G]it’s our duty to end global poverty.SECTION lV Writing(40 minutes)Directions:you should write your responses to both Part A and Part B of this section on ANSWERSHEET 2.Part A66 You’ve just moved into a neighborhood where you find the current public transport is inadequate,and so you want a new bus line opened to solve the problem.Write a letter to the bus company,1)making a request for a new bus line:2)stating the reasons for your request;3)expressing your eagerness for solution.You should write about 100 words.Do not sign your own name at the end of your email.Use“Wang Lin”instead.You do not need to write the address.Part B67.Look at the picture below and write an essay of about 120words making reference to the following two points:1)a description of the picture;2)your suggestions on how to protect consumers’ rights.答案精解:第二部分英语知识运用参考译文未来的房子可能是什么样子呢?格雷斯能告诉我们答案。

2011年3月高级口译翻译真题及答案(英译汉)
When President Obama took the stage here Wednesday to address a community —and a nation —traumatized by Saturday’s shootings rampage in Tucson, Arizona, it invited comparisons to President George W. Bush’s speech to the nation af ter the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, and the memorial service President Bill Clinton led after the bombing of a federal office building killed 168 people in Oklahoma City in 1995.
本周三,奥巴马总统登台演讲,就上周六亚利桑那州图森市所发生的枪击惨案向饱受心灵创伤的公众及全国发表演讲,人们不禁联想到,布什总统在2001年911袭击之后的演讲、以及1995年克林顿总统为俄克拉荷马州联邦政府大楼爆炸中的168名遇害者举行的追悼会。
But Osama’s appearance presented a deeper challenge, reflecting the tenor of his
times. Unlike those tragedies---which, at least initially, united a mournful country and quieted partisan divisions---this one has, in the days since the killings, had the opposite effect, inflaming the divide.
然而,奥巴马的公开露面展现了一个更大的挑战,也映射出他所处时代的要旨。
以往那些惨案使整个国家在哀悼中团结一致,党派分歧也销声匿迹——至少惨案发生初期是这样的。
而本次的枪击惨案却恰恰相反,激化了党派间的分歧。
It was a political reality Mr. Obama seemed to recognize the moment he took the stage. He directly confronted the political debate that erupted after the rampage, asking people of all beliefs not to use the tragedy to turn on one another. He called for an end to partisan recriminations, and for a unity that has seemed increasingly elusive as each day has brought more harsh condemnations from the left and the right. It was one of the most powerful addresses that Mr. Obama has delivered as president, harnessing the emotion generated by the shock and loss from Saturday’s shootings to urge Americans “to remind ourselves of all the ways that our hopes and dreams are bound together”.
奥巴马登台不久,便意识到了这一政治现实。
他直接针对枪击惨案发生后引发的政治辩论,呼吁所有持不同宗教信仰的人们不要借机针锋相对。
他呼吁各党派停止相互指责,同时呼吁各党派团结起来。
因各党派之间的指责日益严厉且锋芒毕露,团结已经渐行渐远。
本次演说是奥巴马担任总统以来发表的最具号召力的一次,他在演讲中巧妙利用了美国人因枪杀事件而产生的震惊与悲痛,敦促美国人“时刻提醒自己,我们因希望和梦想而团结在一起”。
