As for us Americans, you may think that we give too much importance to individualism and personal gains, so much so that it might sacrifice collective benefits, and even bring harm to the harmony of the society.//

Yes, but you don?t have to be worried. American work ethic is more individual-oriented. We often value the results and accomplishments of work more than its process.//

If I am not mistaken, the traditional Chinese work ethic is based on Confucianism, which stresses the benefit of communal harmony rather than individual freedom.//

It?s really very hard to say which is better because if the cultural differences. With the economic globalization, cultural exchanges have become more and more extensive and Americans and Chinese will know and understand each other better.

至于我们美国人，你们会感到我们太看重个人主义，太看重个人利益，这样可能会牺牲集体的利益，甚至会损害社会的和谐。//

如果我没理解错的话，中国传统的够工作理念是以儒家学说为基础的，这种思想强调整体和

I am very glad that China will soon carry out the National Medium-to-long Term Program for Education Reform and Development. This program, I?m sure, will encourage your young people to absorb new knowledge and apply it in science and technology.

“知识经济”表明了人类即将进入的一个全新的战略发展时代。知识正成为最重要的资本和生产力。//

“知识经济”有一大特点，那就是创新。创新指创造新知识和运用新知识的能力。此种能力不仅决定财富的多少，还是取得竞争优势的基础。//

Passage 1

Ladies and Gentlemen, during my stay here for 5 years, I have noticed many cultural differences. Such cultural differences arise from a different in region, race, history, environment and in the level of social and economic development.//

中高级口译绝密资料

Here are some examples. We American emphasize efficiency, competition and originality, while your management gives priority to careful planning and encourages close cooperation.//

In American schools, discussion is given top priority and seminar is the usual way of class. Teachers with flexible and adaptable talents are regarded as good an popular ones.//

But Chinese teachers like to lecture in class, and a lot of them are obsessed with examinations; they spend long hours planning and preparing classes, and writing consistent and standardized plans. It?s very interesting to us.

女士们，先生们，我在此已经生活了五年，我看到了许多文化差异。这种文化差异是由地狱、种族、历史和环境的差异造成的，也是由社会、经济发展水平的差异造成的。

以下是一些例子。我们美国人强调效率、竞争和独创性，而你们的管理则将严格规划放在首位，鼓励（团员成员之间的）密切合作。

在美国学校，讨论享有至高无上的地位，讨论就是课堂教学的主旋律。具有灵活应变才能的教师被视为优秀、受学生欢迎的教师。

而中国教师喜欢讲课，喜欢考试，花许多时间去备课，编写千篇一律的标准教案。在我们眼里，这太有意思了。

Passage 2

Ladies and Gentlemen, the world today is facing a serious problem of poverty in some areas. We must refocus our attention, and resources, on the places and people that are economically being left behind.//

As we do, we must bear in mind that none are more committed to ending poverty than the poor themselves. Often, all they lack is the guidance and the tools to get rid of poverty.//

Therefore, it requires all citizens to actively participate in policy-making, and government to become more accountable to their citizens in their efforts to achieve their goals.//

Today, we join hands with the poor in a collective effort. This is a close and extensive cooperation which brings together civil society, the private sectors, and individuals around the world.

女士们、先生们：当今世界一些地区正面临着严重的贫穷问题。我们必须重新将资源和注意力更加集中地投向那些经济落后的地区和人们。

此外，我们必须牢记，世界上的贫穷人们自己比任何人都想消除贫困。只是他们往往缺乏必要的消除贫困的指导和方式方法。

因此，我们要鼓励公民积极参与政策制定，还需要各国政府采取对公民更加负责任的态度，以实现他们的奋斗目标。

今天，我们和贫困人们共同携手，这是一种紧密而又广泛的合作。它将使全世界的公民社会，私营企业以及个人团结在一起。

Passage 1

现在我来介绍一下中国的世界文化遗产。中国是一个古老而又文明的国家，有悠久的历史、灿烂的文化、壮丽的山河。//

在中国的国土上，自然与地理环境多姿多彩，东西南北风光迥异，良好的地理环境造就了无数的天然名胜。//

漫长的历史，为中华民族留下了丰厚而珍贵的文化遗产和自然遗产，它不仅属于中华民族，

中高级口译绝密资料

也是全人类的宝贵财富。//

目前这些文化和自然遗产正日益受到破坏的威胁，主要是因为年代久远所致，同时也有些人为因素。这些都应该引起我们的高度重视。//

Now, I?d like to give you a brief introduction to the World Heritage Sites in China. China is a country with an age-old history, a brilliant civilization, and magnificent landscapes.//

On this land, China enjoys diverse and beautiful natural and geographical conditions, and landscape with the varied features of north, east, south, and west. Such excellent geographical conditions have produced many natural scenic spots.//

The rich and precious cultural and heritages left by China?s long history are assets for both the Chinese nation and the rest of the world.//

Today, however, these cultural and natural heritages are threatened by the increasing damages mainly caused by their own old age and some by man-made damage, to which we should pay high attention.//

Passage 2

体育运动是人类的共同语言，是促进和平与发展的重要因素。自远古时代起，体育运动就已超越种族、肤色、文化的差异。//

体育运动承载着人类对和平美好世界的向往与追求。诞生于两千多年前的奥林匹克精神，就是这一追求的具体体现。//

奥林匹克理想是人类不断的追求，体育运动和体育教育则是实现这一追求的具体实践。// 体育运动不仅让我们拥有强健的体魄，更让我们学会沟通、合作和尊重他人，也是不同文明和价值观之间加强联系的重要媒介。

Being a common language of humanity, sport is an important factor in the promotion of peace and development. Ever since ancient times, sport has transcended differences in race, color and culture.//

Sport has given expression to humanity?s aspirations for and pursuit of a peaceful and better world, as evidenced in the Olympic spirit that came into being more the 2,000 years ago.//

Sport and physical education are activities undertaken in humanity?s ceaseless pursuit of the Olympic ideal.//

Sport not only builds one?s physique, but also teaches communications, cooperation, respect for others. It is also an important medium for strengthening the ties among different civilization and values.//

Passage 1

The whole world has focused its attention on China, an oriental country that still appears mysterious to many people in the west. China is providing the greatest fascination in the 21st century.//

Since the Second World War, countries like Britain and Germany have had major achievements and minor problems, while Southeast Asia has had major problems and minor achievements.//

China, though, is experiencing both major achievements and major problems. I do believe the tough line on population control has been a great contribution to humanity on an international level.//

I?m positive that China will definitely become an economic superpower in the not too distant future and will play an irreplaceable role in promoting economic prosperity in the world.//

全世界的注意力都集中在中国这个对许多西方人士来说依旧十分神秘的国家。中国是21世纪最具有吸引力的国家。//

自从第二次世界大战以来，英国和德国这样的国家取得了巨大成就，遇到了小问题。东南亚遇到了大问题，取得了小成就。//

而中国既取得了大成就，也面临大问题。我确实相信，中国在人口控制方面采取的强硬路线（从全球来说我）为人类做出了巨大贡献。//

我相信，中国一定会在不远的将来成为经济超级大国，在促进世界的经济繁荣方面发挥不可替代的作用。

Passage 2

Ladies and Gentlemen, I am delighted to have the opportunity to address you at the opening of the 7th China International High-tech Expo. In the last two years I have witnessed tremendous advances across China, particularly in hi-tech manufacturing sectors, in science and research.// Britain is well placed to enable China to develop even faster in these areas. Hi-tech manufacturing industries are global and they are important to us all.//

British companies and research institutions can make a strong contribution to China?s success in hi-tech sectors. We?re specially interested in such field as Information and Communications Technology, biotechnology and many more,//

China has more world-class companies and they go out into the international markets. Many of them are attracted to Britain. We now have over 300 Chinese companies operating profitably and successfully in Britain.

女士们、先生们，我很高兴能有机会在“第七届中国国际高科技产业博览会”的开幕式上发言。两年来，我见证了整个中国的巨大进步，尤其是在高科技制造和科研领域取得的成就。英国深具优势，能帮助中国在这些领域发展得更快。高科技制造业是全球性的产业。对我们所有人都是至关重要。//

英国的公司和研究机构能为中国在高科技领域的成功做出极大贡献。我们特别感兴趣的有信息与通信技术、生物技术，乃至更多的领域。//

中国有很多世界级公司，它们正在走出国门，走向国际市场，其中有许多公司都选择了英国。

Passage 1

合作与交流应当是双向的。我认为，我们应当处理好竞争与合作的关系。合作比竞争更为有利。//

然而，我们注意到中国对海外的报道与西方媒体对中国的报道，两者之间存在明显的失衡。在中国，人们能够观看有关国外的各种报道，而在西方国家，人们很少看到正面报道关于中国经济发展和社会进步方面的节目。//

我认为产生这一现象有多种原因。但是我相信，通过加强合作与交流，这种不平衡的状况终将得到改变。//

Cooperation and communication should be mutual. I think we should do well with the relationship between competition and cooperation. Actually, cooperation is more beneficial to us than competition.//

However, (as we have noticed/ as we were aware,) there is a marked imbalance between China?s report on foreign countries and the reports on China by western media.//

In China, people can watch different programs about foreign countries. But you can find very few positive programs about China?s economic development and social progress in western countries.//

I think that there are many reasons for this phenomenon. But I believe that enhanced cooperation and exchanges can eventually change this unbalanced situation.

Passage 2

经济全球化的快速发展，中美经贸关系的不断深化，形成了“你中有我、我中有你、互利共赢”的经贸关系。//

我们希望美国政府能够顺利顺应历史发展趋势，采取正确的经贸政策措施，确保两国人民获得更多实实在在的利益。//

中美两国经贸关系规模之大，涉及范围之广，牵涉各方面利益之深，已经使其成为当今世界最为复杂的经济关系。//

当前中美经贸关系中出现的产品质量和食品安全问题，就是一个突出的事例。我们双方就这一问题进行了深入、坦率的讨论。

Thanks to accelerated economic globalization, the growing China-US business relations have exhibited the features of interdependence, mutual benefit and win-win progress.//

We hope that the US administration will follow the trend of historical development, and pursue the right trade policy so as to enable our two people to gain more concrete benefits.//

China-US business relationship is the most complex one in today?s world owing to its huge scale, broad scope and the extensive interests of various parties involved.//

A case in point in China-US business relationship is the issue of product quality and food safety. China and the United States have had in-depth and frank discussions on this issue.

Mr. Mayor, let me thank you for the opportunity to share some thoughts about how to ensure Shanghai?s position as a world center of innovation in the near future.//

We have already recognized the importance of innovation to Shanghai?s economic growth and prosperity. You have articulated a strategy that places technological innovation capacity at the top of the agenda.//

Innovation is the lifeblood of a country and business—there is no future without it. We have to think of innovation as more than basic science or new laboratory equipment.//

Innovation is the creation of value through new products or services, technologies and business models. And it requires strong leadership, a long term strategy and people who are committed to innovation.

市长先生，首先感谢您给我这个机会来谈一下我对如何确保上海在不远的未来成为世界级创新中心的看法。

我们已经意识到创新对于上海经济发展和繁荣的重要意义。您已阐明了（上海的）发展战略，那就是将技术创新能力（的提升）置于一切工作之首。

创新是国家的生命线，也是企业的生命线。没有创新就没有未来。创新不仅仅是基础科学研究的投入，也不仅仅是新实验设备的购置。

创新是通过新产品、新服务、新技术和新商业模式的开发而创造的价值。创新需要坚强有力的领导、长期的战略和致力创新的人才。

中国是最大的发展中国家，非洲是发展中国家最集中的大陆，中国和非洲的人口占世界人口的三分之一以上。//

没有中国和非洲的和平与发展，就没有世界的和平与发展。在新形势下，中非共同利益在扩大，相互需求在增加。//

建立中非新型战略伙伴关系是中非合作的内在需要，也是促进世界和平与发展的必然要求。中非关系不断发展，不仅有利于中国和非洲的发展进步，而且有利于促进发展中国家的团结与合作。

China is the largest developing country, and Africa is home to the largest number of developing countries. Our combined population accounts for over a third of the world total.//

Without peace and development in China and Africa, there will be no global peace and development. In this new era, China and Africa share increasing common interests and have a growing mutual need.//

The forging of a new type of China-Africa strategic partnership is determined by the dynamics of/need for China-Africa cooperation, and it represents our wish to promote global peace and development.//

Passage 1

I?m a research psychologist and I?ve been doing researches on the problems of marriage and family. Today I feel greatly honored to be invited to give a talk on this subject. Being a good parent is harder now than it has ever been before.//

In pressurized modern lives, it is hard to be a good worker and a good parent at the same time. We haven?t left space for the care and nurturing that parents expect to provide for their children.//

Traditional family imposes too many roles on females. Therefore, today many highly educated and economically privileged women are opting to take career breaks so as to be at home with their children for longer than the 18 weeks.//

I think the whole point of marriage is that it imposes clear obligation, not just the right to pursue your own happiness. Children demand sacrifice and altruism, which means a long-term investment of parental time and money.

我是个心理研究工作者，从事一些婚姻家庭问题的研究。今天我很荣幸受邀谈一谈这个话题。现在做个好父母比以往任何时候都要难。

在压力重重的现在生活中，要做个好雇员就无法同时做称职的家长。父母应给予孩子们悉心

中高级口译绝密资料

照料，我们却无暇顾及。

传统家庭有很多强加给妇女的责任。因此，现在许多受过高等教育以及经济地位优越的妇女都情愿有一段职业间歇，这样和孩子一起在家里的时间就长一些，而不仅是那18周。

我认为，婚姻的关键一点就是它给夫妻双方以种种义务，而不只是赋予他们追求自身幸福的权力。孩子需要家长的自我牺牲和无私奉献，也就是说需要父母长期地投入时间和财力。 Passage 2

If you take a trip to Venice, Italy, you will take a romantic ride along narrow canals and under bridges. You will also take pictures of the beautiful old buildings and famous works of art that have made the city one of Europe?s leading tourist spots.//

Venice is a city built on water and it has about 150 canals. The best time to visit Venice is during the clear spring days of March and April.//

如今，人们必须终身学习才能适应社会的变革，这就是终身教育思想在许多国家受到重视的原因。//

现代工业使得许多传统职业在社会上消失。一个人如果不继续学习，他很快就会被时代所抛弃。//

科学技术的进步还使得人类深刻地认识到人与自然、人与社会的关系，认识到人类自身的发展和责任。//

今天许多人不光是为谋生而学习。因此，终身教育要为人们不断提高自身的素质提供学习机会。

Today, people must pursue lifelong learning to adapt themselves to the transformation of the society. That?s why great importance has been attached to the idea of lifelong education in many countries.

Modern industry has removed many traditional occupations from the society. If one does not continue to learn, he will soon be abandoned by the times.

The advancement of science and technology also enables mankind to fully understand the relation between man and nature, the relation between man and society, and the development and responsibilities of his own.

Today, many people take up learning not only for making a living. Therefore, lifelong education

Promotion on the World Wide Web includes advertising, sponsorships, and sales promotion like Successful websites combine promotional and non-promotional information indirectly when delivering the advertising messages. To encourage visits to their sites and to create customer loyalty, companies provide many opportunities for intension.//

Since the main purpose of advertising is to sell goods, the advertise is not always looking out for the best interests of the consumer. Some advertising is cheating the public, such as actors dressed as doctors promoting health products.//

It costs money to advertise. Consumers pay for television programs every time they buy a product they see advertised. The cost of advertising a product is added to its cost to consumers.

通过电脑网络，企业可以迅速而直接地与潜在的顾客进行沟通。互联网促销宣传方式包括广告、赞助以及各种促销活动，如竞赛、优惠券、回馈等。

成功运作的网站在传递广告信息时，巧妙地把促销宣传与其他内容融为一体。为了提高网站访问率、培养顾客对产品的信赖，各企业不断提供与顾客互动机会。

既然广告的主要目的是促销商品，广告商就不总是寻求消费者的最大利益。有些广告是在欺骗公众，如：演员装扮成医生来促销保健品。

做广告是要花钱的。当消费者每次在买他们在广告上所看的商品的时候也就支付了电视节目的费用。产品的广告费都加载了消费者要付的成本上。

I am very glad to be invited here to make a speech on the topic of “an educator?s responsibility”. As an American high school principal, I worry, particularly, about the effects on our children of our own society.//

In American, there is already compelling evidence that adolescents have been affected negatively by changing social conditions. However, some people believe that the behavior of students should not be interfered unless it is directly related to learning.//

But good teachers should teach values of courtesy, mutual respect, persistence, and responsibility. They should remind students to say “please” and “thank you” and remind them not to interrupt when others are speaking.//

As a principal, I would never consider myself a successful educator unless our students graduated not only as successful learners bur also as ladies and gentlemen.

我很高兴应邀在这里就“教育工作者的责任”发表演讲。作为美国一所中学的校长，我特别担心我们的社会对孩子们所产生的影响。

在美国，已有确凿证据表明，社会环境的改变对青少年造成了消极的影响。然而，有些人认为不应该干涉学生的行为，除非它直接影响到学习。

但是好的老师应该向学生传授谦和的价值观，培养学生相互尊重的习惯、坚忍不拔的毅力和责任心。教师们应该提醒学生说“请”，和“谢谢！”，提醒学生不要打断人家的讲话。作为一名校长，如果我的学生在毕业是能做到品学兼优，我才会认为自己是一个成功的教育者。

How do we celebrate the New Year? First, the elaborate multi-generation reunion dinner eaten ?s Eve, is the most significant meal of the year.

It underscores the supreme importance of the family in Chinese culture. Visiting relatives and close friends is another time-honored custom that is undertaken cheerfully, and reciprocated enthusiastically too, as a thoughtful way of affirming the ties of kinship and friendship.

What would be retained in our New Year?s celebration is the family and kinship ties and attendant values like respect for one?s parents and elders. Without these, the New Year?s celebration will become a soulless commercial happening and devoid of meaning.

“开放大学”也能帮助学生取得大学学位，大学主要通过广播或电视播出讲座。但是每年有几个星期，学生能在大学里参加假期班的学习。

对于任何要取得大学学位的教程，学生都得通过入学资格考试。由于在英国没有足够的名额让所有中学生进入大学。因此，这些入学考试具有很强的竞争性。

INTERPRETATION TEST (Paper 67) 2005.5

Passage 1:

Since I landed on your beautiful land, I have found there are some differences in business negotiations between Chinese and American businessmen. It is my third year here now and this impression has been growing stronger.//

Today, I would like to take this opportunity to share a piece of my mind with you. I think there are at least two major differences in business negotiations.//

First, Chinese businessmen tend to have businessmen. The Chinese like to take time to learn whether their prospective business contacts are really reliable.//

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, and then top-down” principle. I hope American businessmen in China will understand these differences.

（参考答案）

自从我一踏上你们美丽的国土，我发现中美两国生意人在商务谈判上存在一些差异。如今，我在中国已有三年，这种感觉越来越强烈。//

今天借此机会我想跟你们谈谈，我认为在商务谈判方面至少有两点不一样。//

首先，中国人在商力谈判时倾向于使用一种迂回婉转的方式，而美国人则喜欢直截了当。中国人还会化时间了解他们将要打交道的生意人是否可靠。// 第二，中国公司的决策过程通常耗时冗长。这是因为大部分中国公司遵循“自下而上再自上而下”的原则。我希望在华的美国商人能理解/了解这些差异。

Passage 2:

I’m a native speaker of English. I have found the English language is such a noble medium. It’s impossible to write a page without experiencing positive pleasure at its richness and variety.//

If an English writer cannot say what he has to say in English, and in simple English, it is probably not worth saying. But, the pity is that English is not more generally learned and studied in our country.// I am not going to attack our classroom education. The beauty of the English language will attract anyone who has the slightest taste to literature. But here what I am concerned is our present educational system.//

I cannot believe that the present educational system is the best or even reasonable one. To the vast majority of our children who attend our public schools, the current classroom education is long, useless and meaningless.

（参考答案）

我的母语是英语。我发现英语是一种非常崇高的工具。我们每写下一页，都不可能不对它的丰富多彩产生一种赞同的喜悦。//

如果某个英语作家不能用英语，不能用简明的英语说出自己必须说出的话，那么这种话也许就不值得说。然而，遗憾的是英语没有得到更广泛的学习和研究。//

我不是攻击我们的课堂教学。凡对文学有一丁点鉴赏的人不可能对英语的魅力无动于衷。但这里我对我国目前的教育制度忧心忡忡。//

我无法相信目前的教育制度是最佳的，甚至是合理的。对公立/公助/付费寄宿学校的广大学童来说，如今的课堂教学是冗长、毫无用处、且是毫无意义的。

Passage 1

Today an increasing number of overseas institutional and individual investors have shown a great interest in the investment in western China. There are various reasons for such a rising investment fever.//

China is one of the fastest growing economies in the world. The Chinese government focuses a lot of their attention on opening the whole country up to the outside world, not only the coastal areas but also the interior areas, in order to attract more in vestment.//

Besides, many overseas investors who have already invested in the coastal areas find it equally profitable to invest in the west part of china.

Passage 1:

Different from Chinese people, traditionally, we Americans work because it is the will of God, and we often value the results and accomplishments of work more than its process.//

I really appreciate the devotion and commitment that the Chinese people have shown in their work. I think most Chinese view their work as essential for having membership in a community.//

They believe that work allows them to have the sense of belonging to a community. In other words, work is necessary for them to gain social acceptance in the society.//

That is why many Chinese managers and employees work so hand to maintain their positions in their companies. Also, they see work as the most important thing in life. That is, they have tried to find the meaning of life through their jobs.

（参考答案）

与中国人不同，我们美国人工作从传统上来说是秉承了上帝的意志。我们对工作的成果的重视常常高于对工作过程的重视。//

我的确欣赏中国人对工作的敬业和献身精神。我认为，大多数中国人把工作看成是使自己成为社会团体一分子的比不可少的条件。//

他们相信，工作是他们有归属感，也就是说，中国人为了得到社会的认可，他们必须工作。//

这就是为什么中国经理们和员工们努力工作以保住公司职位的原因。中国人还把工作视为生活中最重要的一件事。也就是说，他们试图在工作中找到生活的意义。

我国社会主义市场经济体制的建立和发展，也要求我们改革和完善社会福利保障体制，团体和民间组织。//

一方面，政府的宏观管理责任变得更加重大，另一方面，社会团体和民间组织需要参与更多的社区服务。

As our country is gradually moving towards the aging society, we need to establish a complete set of community security system meant for the old people.//

The establishment and development of China’s socialist market economy also requires the reform and improvement in our social welfare and security system, which in turn places higher expectations on community services.//

With the transformation of governmental functions, much of the work involving social services that was initially undertaken by the government will be gradually transferred to social groups and non-government organizations.//

On the one hand, the government will shoulder greater responsibilities in its macro-management, and on the other hand, social groups and non-government organizations will need to involve themselves in more community services.

Passage 2:

女士们，先生们：今天我们欧亚各国领导人在此聚会，就促进广泛领域里的合作，建立新的伙伴关系，交换我们的意见。//

Passage 1:

We are meeting here to call for changes in the US patent laws. We believe such changes in the US patent laws are needed to deal with new business models related to the Internet.//

US patent laws are designed to protect the commercial rights of people who have invested in new products or techniques. And I propose that the period of protection should be cut form 17 years to 3 years.//

From my experience of working with Hi-Technology companies in California’s Silicon Valley, the biggest problems arise when existing patent protections for business methods are combined with the Internet.// If changes in the patent laws are going to have any real impact, they must be made soon.

制订美国专利法是为了保护那些投资开发新产品或新技术的人的商业权利。我在这里提议专利权的保护期应该从原来的17年缩短为3年。//

凭我在加州硅谷高科技公司的工作经验，当现行的商务行为的专利保护同因特网联系在一起时,就会出现最严重的问题。//

如果想让专利法的修改能真正起到作用，那就必须加快(修订)速度。我的一些同行已经开始游说立法者修改(法律)。//

Passage 2:

It has been a fashion nowadays that people own private cars. It has been rightly said that owning a private car is a symbol of living a high-quality life.//

But, personally, when a man is sitting behind a steering wheel, his car becomes the extension of his personality. There is no doubt that the motor-car often brings out a man’s very worst qualities.//

People who are normally quiet and pleasant may become unrecognizable when steering a wheel. The surprising thing is that society smiles so kindly on the motorist and seems to forgive his for his behavior.// Because of heavy traffic, many cities and towns become almost uninhabitable. And year in year out, mass annual slaughter in traffic accidents becomes more a statistic figure, to be conveniently forgotten.

然而我以为当一个坐在方向盘后时，他的车子便是他个性的延伸.毫无疑问，汽车常常展示一个人最糟的品质。//

平时温文尔雅之士，一旦坐于方向盘后，可能会判若两人。令人吃惊的是，社会竟对开车者笑脸相迎，悦目以待，对其行为似乎网开一面。//

once. Now let us begin Part A with the first passage.

Passage 1 is about language and its creative aspect.

Passage 1:

We are all intimately familiar with at least one language, yet few of us ever stop to consider what we know about it. The words of a language can be listed in a dictionary, but not all the sentences.//

Speakers use a finite set of rules to produce and understand an infinite set of sentences. These rules comprise the grammar of a language. It includes the sound system and the way in which sounds and meanings are related.//

This linguistic knowledge is, however, different from linguistic behavior. If you woke up one morning and decided to stop talking, you would still have the knowledge of your language.//

Language is a tool of communication. But if language is defined merely as a system of communication, then language is not unique to humans. A basic property of human language is its creative aspect.//

（参考答案）

虽然我们人人至少通晓一门语言，但很少有人会静心思考一下对语言了解什么。语言的词汇可以在词典中列出，但并非所有句子都能为词典所收入。

说话者可以运用一组数量有限的规则来表达与理解数量无限的句子。这些规则组成了语言的语法体系。语法包括音系以及语音和语义之间联系的规则。然而，语言知识有别于语言行为。某天早晨你醒来后决定不说话，你仍然具有你所操语言的知识。

语言是交际的工具。但如果语言的定义仅仅是一种交际系统，那语言便不是人类的专有品。人类语言的一个基本属性是创造性。

Passage 1:

America is a place where personal responsibility is valued and expected. Though responsibility requires sacrifice, it brings a deeper fulfillment. We find the fullness of life not only in options, but also in commitments.//

Sometimes in life we are called to do great things. But more often we are called to do small things with great love. I, therefore, ask you to seek a common good beyond your own comfort; to serve your nation, beginning with your neighbor.//

Americans are generous and strong and decent, not because we believe in ourselves, but because we hold beliefs beyond ourselves.//

Passage 1 is about the gap between rich and poor people.

Passage 1:

As we all know, there are more rich people than ever before, including some 7 million millionaires, and over 400 billionaires. They are getting plenty of pleasure, though they have worries, too. // As for the poor, the gap between them and the rich is widening, even in the industrialized countries where for much of the 20th century the gap had narrowed. In 2004, income inequality in Britain reached its widest level in 45 years.// Helping the poor, the truly poor，is a much worthier goal than merely narrowing inequality. If the rich ger poorer due to high taxation, some people may feel pleased but few are better off. //

If the poor people get richer, however, the whole country will benefit. Focusing resources and policy on poverty would be worthwhile simply on humanitarian grounds. And helping the underclass rejoin society is in the interests of all.//

（参考答案）

众所周知，当今世界上富人之多超过以往任何时候，百万富翁有700万左右，亿万富翁有400多人。尽管他们也有忧虑，但他们享尽了快乐。//

而对穷人来说，他们与富人之间差距正在扩大，甚至在20世纪的很长一段时间内这种差距曾经缩小过的工业化国家，情况也是如此。20xx年，英国人的收入不均衡达到了45年来的最高水平。//

帮助穷人——真正的穷人，是个比仅仅缩小不平等更有价值的目标。如果由于高税收而富人财产减少，某些人或许感到高兴，但几乎没人会因此而变富。//

可是如果穷人变富了，那整个国家将从中受益。即使是简单地基于人道主义考虑，集中资源和政策优势解决贫困也是值得的。帮助下层（社会）人士重归社会是符合所有人利益的。

According to a recent study in Sweden, almost half of all unnatural deaths are related to alcohol. Scientists suggest that 44% of deaths caused by accidents or other events are linked to drinking.//

Globally, 140 million people are suffering from alcohol dependence. Alcohol takes a heavy toll damaging public and private life with countless traffic fatalities and injuries. Now, the situation is worsening.// The study demonstrates that alcohol is a problem not only when it comes to drunk driving and traffic deaths, but in a significant number of all unnatural deaths.

China is a united multi-ethnic country. The Han-Chinese population makes up more than 90 percent of the total population. The other 55 ethnic groups, including the Tibetan people, are customarily called ethnic minorities.//

Since regional ethnic autonomy was implemented in 1965 in Tibet, the Tibetan people, in the capacity of masters of the nation and under the leadership of the Central Government, have actively participated in administration of the state and local affairs.//

The Tibet Autonomous Region has set leapfrogging of stages of development as its target of economic and social development and the improvement of the infrastructure and the people’s living standard as the key.//

Passage 1 is about misleading advertisements.

Passage 1:

Advertising affects all of us throughout our lives. Young girls are particularly vulnerable, because they are new and inexperienced

中高级口译绝密资料

consumers and are the prime targets of many advertisements.//

No politician or educator is more pervasive or persuasive than advertising. It teaches us to value material things above all else, to feel that happiness can be bought, that products can meet our deepest human needs.//

Ironically, the heavily advertised products, such as cosmetics and weight-reduction drinks, are even harmful to physical attractiveness. There is little emphasis in the advertisement on nutrition and physical exercise.//

Misleading advertisements lead people to believe that the value of a person, especially the value of a young woman, depends upon the products they use. The right perfume or beer can provide a symbol of femininity or of masculinity.

（参考答案）

我们一生都受到广告的影响。少女特别容易受到广告的影响。因为她们是涉足消费者市场不久的无经验的消费者，所以成了许多广告的主要争夺对象。// 没有一个政治家或教育家具有广告那么强的渗透力的说服力。广告教导我们物质至上，金钱可以购买幸福，产品可以满足我们人类最深层次的需求。// 具有讽刺意义的是，诸如化妆品和减肥饮料这些广告大肆宣传的产品对人体魅力甚至是有害的。广告对营养、身体锻炼等很少强调。

误导性的广告是人相信一个人的价值，特别是一个年轻女子的价值依赖于其所使用的产品。恰当的香水和啤酒成了女性气质或男性气概的象征。

Passage 2 is part of a speech at a university awarding ceremony. Passage 2:

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to our annual University Awards. I am extremely delighted that we are once again celebrating the achievements of our colleagues.//

Our annual University Awards recognize and honor the best staffs and faculty members in our community, who have made great contributions to the university and our country this year.//

Some of them have excelled in educating students. Some have scaled new heights in research while others have served the university and country heart and soul.//

The efforts of our award winners have made a difference to our university. Your achievements help raise the standing of our university. We take delight and pride in your achievements.

（参考答案）

我校一年一度的颁奖大会旨在表扬并嘉奖我们团体中为学校和国家作出极大贡献的最优秀的教职员工。//

获奖者的努力使学校改观，你们的成绩（帮助）提高了我校的声望，我们为你们的成就感到高兴和骄傲。

Passage 1

女士们，先生们：在这明月当空的夜晚，我们中美学者在此欢聚一堂，回顾中美两国在诸多领域里的交往历程，展望两国进一步合作和交流的未来。// 30多年前，美国总统尼克松在中美尚未建交的情况下来中国访问，为中美关系迈出重要的一步。//

所有支持中美关系发展的人们，都为两国领导人的政治胆略而欢欣鼓舞。当然，中美关系的发展并不是一帆风顺的。//

令人欣慰的是，困难终能得到克服。如今，中美关系在各个领域都取得了长足的发展。

（参考答案）

Ladies and Gentlemen: In this moon-lit evening, we, Chinese and American scholars, are gathered here to review the history of Sino-US contacts in a number of fields and look into the future of further cooperation and exchange between our two countries.//

More than thirty years ago, as an important step in Sino-US relations, President Nixon visited China when the two countries did not even have diplomatic relations.//

All supporters for closer China-US relations were filled with delight and excitement by the political courage / insight our leaders displayed. Of course, China-US relations have not always been smooth(sailing).//

Passage 2:

近几年来，国内出现了一阵阵的学英语热，不少人认为：学会英语等于掌握知识，等于掌握未来。//

但对国内大多数学生来说，学英语首先得应付考试，而且是考读写的笔试，弄得大家一想起英语就是背单词和讲语法，把大家学英语的胃口都弄坏了。// 结果是，许多英语笔试得高分的中国学生，碰到“老外”时结结巴巴：别人说的我听不懂，我说的别人也不会听。//

现在，大家的共识是：学英语不靠天分，而靠苦读，如能每天花五到六小时大量地阅读和操练英语，那就一定会大有收获的。//

（参考答案）

In recent years, China has seen a surge of English-learning waves.

中高级口译绝密资料

Many people believe that the command of English means the command of Knowledge as well as the command of future.//

However, for most students at home, they learn English first to pass the examinations, written examinations that cover only reading and writing. This makes people always associate English with the memorizing of words and analyzing of grammar, which in turn spoils people’s interest in learning English.//

The result is that many Chinese students who scored high in written English tests could not communicate fluently with foreigners: I cannot understand what other people say, nor can I make myself understood.// Now, the common consensus is that the key to learning English is not genus but diligence. If you can spend 5 to 6 hours a day reading and practicing English, you will certainly dig a lot out of it.

Passage 1:

Ladies and Gentlemen: I have not come to China to hold forth on what divides us, but to build on what binds us. I have not come to dwell on a closed-door past, but to urge that Americans and Chinese look to the beautiful future.//

We must always be realistic about our relationship, frankly acknowledging the fundamental differences in ideology between our two societies. Let us not be dominated by these differences.//

If we were to ask citizens all over this world what they desire most for their children, and for their children’s children, their answer, in whatever language, would likely be the same: We want peace, freedom, and a better life.//

Like China, our people see the future in the eyes of our children. And like China, we respect our elders. To be as good as our fathers and mothers, we must be better.

（参考答案）

女士们、先生们：我来中国不是为了评说那些将我们分隔开来的东西，而是为了强化那些将我们维系在一起的东西，不是为了回顾闭关锁国的过去，而是为了敦促美国和中国人们展望美好的未来。//

我们要务实地对待我们之间的关系，坦率承认我们两个社会制度之间在意识形态方面的根本差异。我们不要被这些差异所主宰。//

假如我们去部一下世界上的所有公民，他们最希望留下什么东西给他们的孩

同中国一样，我国人民看待未来也是着眼于下一代的利益。同中国一样，我们也尊重长辈。若要像父母前辈那样，我们就必须胜出/胜于前辈。

Passage 2:

What is time? Is it a thing to be saved or spent or wasted, like money? Or is it something we have no control over, like the weather? Or is it something too valuable to lose, like one’s life?//

Benjamin Franklin was right when he expressed this view: “Do you love life? Then do not waste time, for that is the stuff life is made of.” We Americans see time as an extremely valuable resource.//

We Americans also believe that time is a limited resource, and therefore we try to conserve and manage it. We often attend seminars or read books on time management, hoping that we will organize our time better.//

Professionals carry around pocket planners – some in electronic form – to keep track of appointments and deadlines. All in all, we do all we can to squeeze more life out of our time.

（参考答案）

时间是什么？是像金钱一样可以节省、花费或浪费的东西吗？或者它像天气那样，是我们无法掌握的东西？或者它像生命那样，是无比珍贵的东西？本杰明.富兰克林说的对，“你爱生命吗？如果爱就还要浪费时间，因为生命即是由时间组成的。“我们美国人视时间为极其珍贵的资源。//

我们美国人认为时间是一种有限的资源，所以我们努力去爱惜时间，管理时间。我们经常参加有关时间管理的研讨会或阅读这方面的书籍，希望能把自己的时间安排得更好。//

专业人士随身带着袖珍记事本，甚至电子记事本，以随时留意约会与（工作）截止时间。总之我们想尽办法要有限的时间内挤出更多的生命（时间）来。

Passage 1

“同一世界，同一梦想”表达了我们在北京举办一届伟大奥运会的愿望。北京是一个既有古老文化传统又有现代化魅力的城市。//

我们申办的三个主题为绿色奥运、科技奥运和人民奥运。我们的目标是在人民中，特别是年轻人中传播奥林匹克理想。//

届时，我们将与国际奥委会、各国奥委会以及其他国际体育组织建立开放、高效的工作关系。//

（参考答案）

“One world, one dream” reflects our desire / aspiration to host a great Olympic Games in Beijing, a city that boasts both ancient culture and modern charm.//

The three themes of our bid are: Green Olympics, Hi-tech Olympics and the People’s Olympics. Our goal is to spread the Olympic Ideals among our people, especially young people.//

We will work with the International Olympic Committee, the National Olympic Committees of different countries, as well as other international sports organizations to establish an open and effective working relationship.//

Confucius, an ancient Chinese sage, said, “Isn’t it a great pleasure to have friends coming from afar!” We are looking forward to receiving all guests from every corner of the world in Beijing in the year 2008. Passage 2:

如何衡量一个国家的人权状况？我觉得应该用以下标准来衡量：即普通老百姓能否享有政治权、经济权、受教育权以及生存权。//

中国作为发展中国家，其人权状况有双重含义：首先我们的人权状况正在发展和改善。其次，正因为如此，有些问题的出现是不可避免的。//

有个海外朋友告诉我，他在访问北京后发现那里的人敢说任何事：谈论政府的政策，表示赞同或提出批评。//

所以，我得说：了解中国历史的人都知道，中国目前的人权状况是历史上最好的。

（参考答案）

How should a country’s human rights conditions be determined? In my opinion, they should be determined based on whether or not the general public of the country can enjoy political, economic, cultural, and educational and subsistence rights.//

As China is a developing country, its human rights situation has a two-fold meaning: Firstly, our human rights conditions are developing and improving; and secondly, as they are still in the process of development, some problems unavoidably exist / arise.//

An overseas friend told me that after he visited Beijing he discovered that people there would dare say anything: They talked about the government’s policies, and praised or criticized them.//

Therefore, I’d say that anyone who knows about Chinese history believes that the current human rights situation in China is the best in history.

Part A Directions: In this part of the test, you will hear 2 passages in English.

中高级口译绝密资料

After you have heard each sentence or paragraph, interpret it into Chinese. Start interpreting at the signal?and stop it at the signal?You may take notes while you are listening. Remember you will hear the passages only once. Now let us begin Part A with the first passage.

Passage 1:

We know that if children took the wrong course at the age of 14, then their lives could be ruined. So why do we put such pressure on our young people at a time when their brain is least receptive?//

If the pressures on our young people were removed, secondary education could become a different process altogether. From about 13 onwards children could be free to study if they choose.//

Children complain that their classes are boring, their textbooks are boring, and their teachers are boring. However, the voice of our children is rarely heard.//

If our children were under a less compulsory system, they would actually learn more and be more cooperative with adults and authority in general. They would be happier and more creative, and therefore more useful to the society.

（参考答案）

我们知道如果在14岁时选错了路，那么他们的一生可能会毁掉。既然如此，我们为何要在孩子的大脑处于最低接受能力的时候给这么多的压力呢？//

如果孩子所面临的压力能予以免除的詻，那么中学教育可能会完全改观。从13岁开始，孩子可以自由选择支学习。//

孩子们抱怨课程乏味，课本乏味，教师乏味。然而，他们的诉说声却几乎无人听见。

如果我们的孩子们在一个强制程度较低的制度下，他们实际学到的东西会更多，他们通常能更好地同成人和领导合作。他们会更加幸福，更富有创造力，对社会的作用也更大。

Passage 2:

You admire me, in fact, I admire you more. If I would have my next life, I should be born in Shanghai and to be a single child. Because I was not particularly happy when I was one of the nine children in a big family.//

Life was not easy at that time as my father was laid off after a traffic accident and my mother could only worked on and off to take care of such a big family.//

As time passed by, one day I suddenly realized that anyone could be unhappy; it took no courage and effort. True achievement lay in struggling to be happy.//

We all assume that happiness is a feeling that comes as a result of good things, things over which we have little control. But the opposite is true: happiness is largely under our control. It is a battle to be fought and not a feeling to be awaited.

中高级口译绝密资料

（参考答案）

你们羡慕实际上我更羡慕你。如果我有来生，我要生在上海，成为家里的独生子女，因为作为大家庭中9个孩儿中的一员时，我并不怎么快乐。

那时生活很苦，父亲在一场交通事故后失业，母亲为照顾大家庭只能断断续续工作。//

随着时间的流逝，有一天，我突然意识到，任何人都可以不开心，这不需要勇气和努力。真正的成就在于努力奋斗以获得快乐。//

我们都以为，快乐是一种感觉，是我们碰到好事的结果，我们难以控制这些东西的。然而，事实恰好相反：在很大程度上我们可以控制快乐。这是一场需要奋争的战斗，而不是一种坐等而来在感觉。

Passage 1

改革开放以来，中国的高等教育获得了长足的发展，教育质量不断提高。至20xx年底，全国高校生达1900万人。//

高等学校的办学水平进一步提高，科研实力增强，高校对国家经济建设和社会发展的贡献力度日益加大。

同时，中国是世界上出国留学生最多的国家。近20年来，共计有58万余名留学生赴103个国家和地区留学。//

我们要扩大教育对外开放，加强国际合作与交流。中国的教育改革与发展必将取得新的历史性跨越。

（参考答案）

Since the Reform and Opening-up, higher education in China has made remarkable progress and its quality has been continuously improved. By the end of 2003, there was a total enrolment of 19 million college students.//

The operation of higher education institutions has been further improved and their research capacity has been enhanced as well. The contribution of HELs to national economic and social development has been increasingly expanded.//

Meanwhile, China is the country that sends the most students abroad for studies and researches. In the last 20 years, over five hundred and eighty thousand Chinese students had been sent to 103 countries and regions.

We will expand the opening up to the outside world and strengthen the international cooperation and exchanges in the field of education. The educational reform and development in China will surely realize a new and historic leap forward (in the near future).

Passage 2:

中高级口译绝密资料

就新闻自由而言，我认为，第一，新闻应该不受限制；第二，新闻应该对社会负责；第三，新闻应该促进社会稳定与进步。//

这三方面互为联系，同等重要，不可分割。片面强调某一方面会带来问题，因而是有害的。//

然而，西方某些报纸很少报道中国的发展，它们感兴趣的不是中国的快速进步，而仅仅是存的困难和问题。//

当前，全世界人民都渴望有一个稳定、进步和平发展的社会环境，也希望媒体在促进社会稳定与进步方面发挥更大的作用。

（参考答案）

As far as freedom of the press is concerned, I think, first of all, the press should be unrestrained. Secondly, the press should be responsible to society. And thirdly, the press should promote social stability and progress.//

The three aspects are integrated, equally important and inseparable. It is harmful to one – sidedly stress only one aspect, as this would cause some problems.//

However, reports on China’s development are rarely seen in Western newspapers. They show little concern for China’s sapid progress, but care only about the difficulties and problems.//

People all over the world now are yearning for a social environment characterized by stability, progress and peaceful development. They earnestly hope the media will play an even greater role in promoting social stability and progress.

Passage 1:

In most cultures, meals may have certain form that makes people know what to expect. When the English see tea, or when Americans see coffee, they know dinner is over.//

While American Chinese food may have been adapted to American tastes, it has not been adapted to American form. Americans who are accustomed to a main course topped off by a big dessert often do not know when the Chinese meal is over.//

Generally speaking, dinners are much less formal and elaborate in the United States than in China. In China, the number of different dishes served at each meal is really impressive. It is impossible to finish everything.//

In the United States, when guests come to a home for dinner, the host

美国的晚餐一般远不如中国的晚餐那么正式和复杂。在中国，每顿饭端上来的不同菜肴的数目令人印象深刻，要吃完所有的菜是不可能的。//

在美国，如果客人到家里吃晚餐，主人通常是一套主菜和一份甜点。客人很可能会吃完给他的全部食物。

Passage 2:

We are here to observe one of the great traditions of our nation. I want to thank all the entertainers for making the night such a special evening. Thank you all for taking time off your tight schedule to participate in this fine event.//

For so many years in times of calm and in times of challenge, Americans have gathered for this ceremony. For over two millennia, Christmas has carried the message that we can always live in hope.//

In this season, we celebrate with our families, and deeply miss family members no longer with us. Thousands of families are still grieving over the terrible losses that came to them from the September 11 attack on New York.//

My wife and I wish every American family the blessings of the season. And now we have the honor of lighting the National Christmas Tree. Now, please join us in the countdown.//

Questions for reference

1. In our society, some people behave in a way that is incongruous with

a harmonious and civilized community. Consider running a red traffic light. Is it an example of such behavior? What about spitting and littering in public? Why or why not?

all other pedestrians have the red traffic light?

3. What can we do to prevent such wrong behavior and help people form

good habits in their daily activities?

INTERPRETATION TEST ( Paper 96) Part A

Directions:

Passage 1 is about a study on alcohol-related death in an eastern European country.

Passage 1:

According to a recent study conducted by three scientists, over half of all unnatural deaths are related to alcohol. The study suggests that 52% of deaths caused by traffic accidents or other events are linked to alcohol drinking. //

The scientists examined deaths in certain eastern European country over a six-year period. They divided deaths into natural----those that were caused by disease----and unnatural----those that were accident or event-related. //

The study shows that alcohol is a problem not only when it comes to

中高级口译绝密资料

drunk driving and traffic deaths, but also in a significant number of all unnatural deaths. This means that you run a greater risk when you’re under the influence of alcohol. //

While some progress has been made in reducing overall alcohol consumption in some western parts of the European world, situation in the eastern Europe is worsening. //

（参考答案）

根据三位科学家最近一次所作的调查，超过一半的非自然死亡与酒精有关。调查显示52%的由交通事故或其他原因引起的死亡与酗酒有关。//

科学家们花6年时间研究了东欧某个国家的死亡事件。他们将死亡分为自然死亡，即疾病引起的死亡，和非自然死亡，即由事故引起的死亡。//

研究表明，不仅酒后驾车和交通死亡由酒精引起，其他非自然死亡极大多数也是由酒精引起的。这就意味着在酒精的影响下，你会冒更大的风险。//

虽然西欧有些国家在减少酒精消费方面取得了一些进步，但东欧的形式却在恶化。//

Passage 2 is about the problem of being a good parent in a traditional family.

Passage 2:

I’m a research psychologist and I’ve been doing researches on the problems of marriage and family. Today I feel greatly honored to be invited to give a talk on this subject.//

Being a good parent is harder now than it has ever been before. Under the pressure of modern life, a good partner and a good worker does not necessarily make a good parent.//

I think most of us have a bit of a yearning for a table full of children, with the older ones helping the younger ones. But the “traditional family” has no longer existed.//

The problem is that we’ve assumed that women should be able to do everything like men. And it’s just not possible. In fact, few women with higher education are now opting to take career breaks so as to be at home with their children. //

（参考答案）

我是一名心理研究工作者，从事一些婚姻家庭问题的研究。今天我很荣幸应邀在这里谈一谈这个话题。//

现在做一名好父亲或好母亲比以往任何时候都要难。在压力重重的现代生活中，做个好的合伙人和好的雇员，那就无法做个好的父亲或母亲。//

我想我们大部分人都会有点奢望，想看到围坐在饭桌旁的一群孩子，大的帮小的。但是，“传统家庭”已不复存在。//

问题是我们一直认定，妇女应当能够像男人一样做任何事。这根本是不可能的。事实上，现在很少有受过高等教育的妇女选择职业间歇，以便和孩子一起呆在家里。//
