It gives me great pleasure to speak at this summit, which gathers 2,500 researchers, entrepreneurs, investors, large companies, start-ups and government officials for three days to discuss energy innovation. //According to projections from the Energy Information Administration of the Department of Energy, the world will see a 47 percent increase in total energy consumption over 2010 levels by 2035, at which point hydrocarbons will make up 79 percent of energy consumption. // This translates to the consumption of 27 percent more oil, 48 percent more gas, and 45 percent more coal in 2035 compared to 2010. Such an outlook spells higher-cost supplies of oil and gas in the future and has intensified the need to find viable, reliable, cost-efficient energy solutions, both for the U.S. and for other countries in the world. //There are many potential solutions on the horizon. But these days many seem to think the light at the end of the energy tunnel is natural gas. The International Energy Agency says global gas production will rise 50 percent by the year 2035; some claim that two-thirds of that growth will come from unconventional sources like shale gas – a market the U.S. completely dominates. // It is claimed that natural gas resources will provide the United States with 100 years of energy thanks to recent technological advancement in hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling techniques thatsparked the so-called "shale revolution". Shale gas has grown from about 2 percent of the U.S. natural gas production in 2000 to almost 40 percent now and has reversed the trend of declining gas production numbers. //Will the unconventional sources save our energy future? Geologist David Hughes of the Post Carbon Institute obviously doesn't think so. Hughes finds that unconventional energy is unlikely to accommodate the growing demand if we stick to the current energy consumption pattern, negating the idea that these resources can be counted on as a viable foundation of the energy sector in the long term. // His belief is shared by many other researchers, who strongly believe that the U.S. cannot drill and frack its way to "energy independence". At best, shale gas, tight oil, tar sands, and other unconventional resources only provide a temporary reprieve from having to deal with the real energy problems. //However, this does not mean that natural gas has no role to play in the overall energy mix, but a reality check is needed before the natural gas frenzy spirals out of control. It is simply dangerous to assume that unconventional resources can be counted on heavily in the future, and creating a dependence on natural gas will only serve to prolong the energy issues we currently face. // If unconventional sources are not the only key to our energy independence, what else do we need? My answer to this question is: there is no silver bullet to solve America's or the world's energy problems. There is no magic wand to sweep away all our energy challenges. I've always believed that, in energy, America needs a mixed approach, so diversity is key. // New sources of advanced energy, such as solar and wind, are already part of the portfolio and need continued development. But we must do more. We must create other efficient solutions to generate, store and conserve energy. // Moreover, commitments must be made at the highest level of government to develop policies that will drive cooperation between the public and private sectors. With government, industry and research working together, we have a better chance of advanced energy innovations becoming a reality and creating a more sustainable energy future for generations to come.

Today's topic is "corporate citizen". As we know, earning a reputation as a solid company means going beyond selling a good product at a good price and standing behind it. Being a good corporate citizen earns you a reputation as a valuable member of your professional or local community, helping you in a variety of ways, including creating customer loyalty, helping you attract and retain workers and improving the quality of life in the areas where you do business. Here are a few things you can do as a good corporate citizen: //First, develop a plan. You'll improve your image in your community if you create a well-thought-out corporate social responsibility campaign rather than writing a check here or there as charities knock on your door. You can only spend so much of your money doing good deeds, andthere's no crime in choosing worthwhile causes that also maximize your benefits. Meet with your marketing department to create an annual plan that helps you impress your target customers with repeated acts of giving or other good deeds. //Second, work actively with nonprofits. Don't just write a check to a local animal shelter or youth soccer league. Get involved to maximize the good you can do for them and to increase your exposure. Consider serving on a board of directors of a local nonprofit that can benefit from your business expertise. Offer to lend your website developer to a charity to help redo its website. Have your marketing people offer suggestions for nonprofits' fund-raising and event materials. Get involved with their promotion of your business, negotiating contracts that get your banners and links on their websites, or permission to use their logo on your website and packaging. // Third, get your staff involved. In addition to having your staff work with your nonprofit partners on company time, give them a chance to donate time or money. Ask your employees to volunteer at charity events as ushers, parking attendants and registration desk helpers while wearing your company logo. //Lastly, create a public relation campaign. Work with your nonprofits or local media to get coverage for your activities on a regular basis. Send press releases to media outlets where you advertise and have your nonprofit partners send their releases to their contacts. Use your packaging, website and marketing materials to let consumers know that when they buy from you, they support a charity. //参考译文:如何成为优秀的企业公民早上好!今天我要讲的是企业公民这个话题。

实战口译例解
在这里,我将举实例介绍我的笔记方法,以及我如何以笔记与大脑短期记忆互动的方式保证译文的精确度。
由于口译条件的限制,其精确度不能以笔译的尺度衡量,也没有必要这样做。
口译的听众与笔译的读者,需求不同,预期也不同。
由于使用实例讲解,无法把口译要点分门别类地举例。
我将顺着例子讲下去。
讲完之后,各项要点也就都包括其中了。
人脑思维速度极快,一闪而过的念头,解说起来会显得繁杂。
不过,我希望你能在开始时,多一点耐心。
很快你就会发现,我的讲解读起来似乎繁杂,但背后的思路,也就是说一旦使用起来,要明快得多。
开始前,提醒一下,不要忘了笔记是必需和记忆互动的。
二者缺一不可。
以下的实例解说,均以此为基础。
讲话原文Following the 1997 election, in which the Labour Party came to power, the macroeconomic policy framework has been reformed.第一层次:一个箭头,加97,再加"选",足以帮助短期记忆,说出译文:"1997年大选之后"。
第二层次:一个"工"加圆圈,提醒"工"字后面还有话。
另外,一条垂直线体现出第二层与第一层有关联。
此后一个箭头,再加"权",足以帮助短期记忆,说出译文:"工党上台掌权"。
第三层次:一个"M"加圆圈,提醒"M"字后面还有话。
从短期记忆中回顾出"宏观经济框架"。
接着,一条横线体现关联,线后一个"改"字,于是补齐译文:"对宏观经济框架进行了改革"。
最后划圈,带横杆,表示本段讲话到此结束。
备注:使用的4个汉字都经过"理顺"。
其中2个是一笔成字。
The aim of this reform is to help provide a framework for improved macroeconomic stability and economic growth.承上启下:一划从上段的"改"字左斜拉下来,接着往右一拐弯。

实战口译中译英
实战口译Unit21.we are meeting our British friends once again by the beautiful rRver Thames, for our third conference. On behalf of the Chinese delegates,I’d like to thank you our British colleagues for your invitation and your excellent programme. Since last year’s conference, China has undergone yet more changes.2.Although the world economy isn’t doing well, the Chinese economy has continued to grow at a relatively high rate. In the first 9 months, industrial output has grew by 10.3%. The rural economy continues to prosper. There is something else that the Chinese people are happy about. Foreign companies continue to come to China in large numbers.3.Form January to September, 18, 580 foreign direct investment projects were approved, with direct investment worth 49.347 billion dollars, of which 32.2 billion dollars has been utilised. This is an increase of 20.66% on last year. In the first 3 quarters of this year, the Chinese economy grew at a rate of 7.6%.4.Increasing domestic demand is the key to maintaining high growth and a healthy economy. After WTO entry, China will bring its own practices in line with the international market and will open up further.5.We believe that a market as big as 1.3 billion people will provide substantial impetus to the world economy. China will continue its large-scale infrastructure programme,upgrade its industrial equipment and improve agricultural production as well as its processing capability.6.All of the above requires an environment of international cooperation. In the next 10 years, China will import about3,000 billion dollars of equipment, technology and products. That is a massive market with huge commercial opportunities.After WTO entry, weaker industries in China will face serious challenges.7.There are still many problems to be solved in environment, in energy, in water resources, in the reform of the economic system, in the development of the northwes t, and in reducing the gap between the rich and the poor. China has thrown its door wide open, andreached out with open arms, welcoming UK as well as other countries in the world to continue to cooperate for our mutual benefit.The development of a partnership between China and the UK requires a healthy and stable political relationship between the two counties.8.Expanding economic and trade cooperation and cooperation in other fields are conducive to the development of a bilateral political relationship. It is beneficial to the interests of our two peoples. I hope all our friends at this conference will make joint efforts, to continue to contribute to the comprehensive development of the Sino-UK relationship.Unit 41.Our economy is doing really well. The internal mechanism for economic growth has been strengthened. We have, to a large extent, struck the right balance between speed, quality and economic benefit. But it isalso clear to us that there are no countries in the world that can perpetuate an economic boom and high-speed growth. China won't be an exception.2.The achievements of the reform have been there for all to see. But, as the economic climate changes, there are now new problems. These include the reform of the state-owned enterprises, substantial unemployment, the polarization of income, corruption, risks in the financial sector and ecological and environmental damage. All of them require our immediate attention and effective solutions in the shortest time possible.3.Personally, I believe China needs to pay attention to the following areas. One, we must provide guidance more forcefully using economic and legal means in the property development market, restrict blind development in up-market properties, and to promote the construction of economical and practical properties. Two, we must monitor international as well as domestic economic development closely so as to be able to respond quickly.4.Three, we must strengthen the regulation of theautomobile and steel industries, reigning in low-grade repetitive construction and disorderly competition. We need to stop overheating in some sectors from spreading while at the same time encouraging rational elements in our economic growth. This is an issue of maintaining the right balance.5.Whilst we need to regulate the overheating of investment in some sectors, we need to take measures to solve the problem of supply falling further behind demand in others. Four, we need to coordinate our efforts to solve the problem of severe shortages of power supply in some regions. We must improve the management of water resources and seek to reduce water shortages in some regions. At the same time, we must accelerate the reform of water pricing in cities and rural areas.6.Five, we must continue our campaign to have a corruption free government. We are starting with the State Council, to set an example of conduct, to ensure that our government is well co-coordinated, fair and transparent, uncorrupted and highly efficient. Thesemeasures demonstrate our determination to clear the road ahead, the road to economic growth.7.China is still poor. Based on the official poverty threshold of 600 yuan, we still have over 20 million people living in poverty. That's using China's criteria. Based on the UN's threshold of one dollar per person per day, we have over 100 million people living in poverty.8.China's total debt is about 13,000 billion yuan, the equivalent of 1.3 times of our GDP. This is a considerable burden. On the other hand, challenges brought by our WTO entry are also difficult tasks. The financial reform in China must speed up to be ready for international competition. On the whole, I'm optimistic about China achieving over 7% growth a year.Unit 61.Today, I'd like to talk about the financial reform in China. China has achieved a great deal in the Ninth Five-Year Plan, but we still have a lot to do. Given that time is short, I won't try to cover everything, but to putforward a few ideas that I feel quite strongly about, some food for thought.2.After WTO entry, the transition period is not much more than 2 years. China, within this short time, must complete its strategic set-up in preparation for the entry of foreign competitors. We must complete the reform of the wholly state-owned commercial banks, and help qualified commercial banks to seek listings in the stock market. We need to ride the wave of financial globalization.3.In my view, during the Tenth Five-Year Plan,China must break up the handful of wholly state-owned commercial banks into a greater number of share-owned commercial banks. The People's Bank of China will remain the central bank. We should begin to consider allowing the establishment of provincial level banks. Each bank will be an independent legal person.4.China must improve the structural reform of its commercial banks. I particularly want to see better training for managers and improvement in their skills. I would suggest here that we learn from banks indeveloped countries and produce a generation of Chinese managers that know themselves and their competitors equally well.5.I recommend early piloting of comprehensive services, allowing pilot financial institutions to operate in areas common among foreign commercial banks, to offer a wide range of services to customers. The selection of pilot banks must be based on their performance in recent years, their strength, and their success in the financial reform.6.The new business areas may include the launch of new loan products, according to the market principle of supply and demand, so as to meet the requirements of economic and social development. Mortgages over recent years are an excellent example.In addition, banks in developed countries offer insurance and personal investment services. That's also worth considering.7.Linked to this, China must establish the market mechanism for interest on loans as soon as possible, to allow commercial banks to decide on their own floatinginterest rates by taking into account the base rate from the central bank, and their own operations in the market as well as their own interests. This is not just an issue of banking reform. It will greatly improve the services banks offer to consumers, stimulating economic growth.8.We must rationalize our regulatory system.The regulator must have the capacity to regulate comprehensive services. It must also be able to recognize the nature of business of each bank and treat them accordingly. That is to say, the regulator must be able to treat different commercial banks differently. Under the current circumstances, I don't think the wholly state-owned commercial banks are ready for comprehensive services.Unit81.first of all, I would like to welcome you to this presentation. As you know, China has become a member of the WTO. In accordance with the agreement, Chinawill gradually lift its restrictions on the telecommunications infrastructure market and the value-adding market, allowing foreign companies to invest directly in China or to set up joint ventures.2.the telecommunications market in China has enormous potentials. The mobile phone market alone will be worth no less than 150 billion yuan. It is estimated that the telecommunications industry, the telecommunications infrastructure network and user equipment, just the three of them combined, will be worth at least 1,500 billion yuan by 2005. The growth potential of the market can be seen in many ways.3. One, the number of telecommunications users continues to grow. Every year, we need to provide a large amount of user equipment for new users. Not only that, existing users need to upgrade their equipment too. The growth of users in turn requires networks and the infrastructure to expand, upgrade and improve, driving the demand for network equipment and the construction of network-related facilities.4. Two, as telecommunications is a very profitablebusiness, some non-telecommunication companies are also itching to have a piece of the action. Companies in the value-adding and computer network business are particularly keen to enter the telecommunications market. Further liberalization will bring opportunities to these companies. This will make it a new area for foreign investment in the very near future.5.three, telecommunication technology is developing fast. New technology and new equipment are introduced all the time. The international telecommunications manufacturing industry is attracted by relatively high quality and yet cheap labor in China. The manufacturing of telecommunications user equipment and network equipment in China is beginning to show its supremacy. As telecom and network facilities continue to develop and upgrade,there will be numerous opportunities in manufacturing.6.four, after several stages of reform, there are now China Unicom, China Railcom, China Telecom, China Netcom, China Mobile and China Satellite, the six main players. They are all keen to become stronger, keen toattract foreign investment, offering foreign capital a fast-track entry into the Chinese market.7.the telecommunications industry in China has accumulated fast capital for over a decade. It's highly profitable and will provide sufficient finance for joint ventures. In 2005, investment in telecommunications infrastructure and network facilities in China will exceed250 billion yuan. That includes not only new equipment and new facilities, but also the maintenance and repair of existing equipment.8.of course, the lifting of control will take place in stages. But there will be fewer and fewer restrictions. Many people are describing the telecommunications market in China as a goldmine for foreign investment. In the past decade, foreign investment in China's telecommunications market has been richly rewarded. So, I hope you won't hold back any more. When the market is completely open, the best opportunities may have been snatched up by others.。

许多企业在提拔员工时,常常会遇到有些员工在专业的岗位上表现非常突出,可是一旦转为管理岗位时,表现就无法尽如人意。
尤其在现在的经营环境下,多数主管均为专业技术背景出身,不少人从光芒万丈的金牌销售或是首席工程师变成黯淡无光的管理阶层。
//事实上,员工的专业能力与管理能力根本就是两回事,但许多企业人力资源部门或是高级主管在找人担任职业经理人时,往往只有专业能力的实际绩效可供参考,因此,更客观、更科学的管理才能评鉴工具就显得十分必要。
在美国公司里,经理人才能评鉴最大的价值是,通过评析,详细描述经理人的优缺点。
然后,这些经理人就可以好好坐下来,和上司探讨自己的成长和发展。
他们把上司当做自己发展的伙伴。
但是在中国,人才评鉴往往被拿来当做评估工具,成为了解经理人优缺点的方式。
其实这只是评鉴的基本功能,它的最终目的是帮助经理人制定更科学的职业规划。

The forum aims to represent the strength of the relationship between our two countries outside the political relationship and looking round today it is clear that the relationship is very strong indeed.2.It is s sign for me that the forum goes from strength to strength and I believe it is playing akey role in the relations between our two countries as confirmed by the Prime Minister in our call on him this morning. This year, we have taken the theme “the challenge of Globalization” our meetings and discussions. This theme has a particular resonance for me.3.On 11 September, I, along with a number of world statemen, was in Beijing to discuss chinaand the world in the 21st century. None of us could possibly have known as we debated economic development, environmental change and security issues what was going to happen that day. But many of the speakers warned of the fragility of the world order. It made me realize more clearly than at any other time just how very important “understanding” between the nations of the world is.4.Our forum, and the discussions we will have in the next day and a half, is part of this vitalprocess of understanding. Globalization is a challenge for all of us, both developed and developing countries and we have a lot to share and learn. As globalization increases and asall our countries come to terms with the global reach of many industries, we can, as different nations, work together to understand the issues and effects these developments bring.5.People can only grasp these opportunities. People talking, travelling, exchanging ideas andexperiences. And that is what we are here today to do. Our discussions here will centre around a number of very interesting issues: trade and the environment in the globalisation of the economy , chinese culture facing the world, e-learning and e-commerce, balancing public purposes and commercial interests in the media, and China after WTO to name but a few.6.As far as I can see, joining the WTO presents ha huge chanllenge for China. The requirementsof joining WTO for corporate governance, for transparency and for reliable and enforceable laws. Whilst producing some pain in short term, will no doubt be part of the way in which economic growth can be encouraged and sustained. I personally am much looking forward to my own involvement in the discussions on small and medium sized enterprises.7.China’s decision to embrace t he dynamism of the private sector brings up the role smallfirms can play in achieving rapid growth and innovation. They are, and can be, a significant engine for economic development. Therefore, we have much work to do in our forum. We want to show our Chinese friends how much of a partner the UK can be but also that as a sign of a mature and true relationship, we can afford to be frank and open in our discussions with one another.8.This will be particularly true in the sessions on issues of competitiveness and corporategovernance that will be held tomorrow. We ate building on discussions and relationships that are already well founded and I believe that this forum will take the special role that our meeting plays in the relations between our two countries further forward.Unit31.In the space of a single generation, relations between the UK and the People’s Republic ofChina have been transformed. Government-to-government and business-to-business links are closer and more varied than ever before. But the most exciting changes have been in the links between the British and Chinese peoples. Chinese communities have long existed as a respected and cherished presence in British cities.2.But today , more and more British people are visiting China to see for themselves the newdynamism of great cities like Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. We are re-discovering China’s incomparably rich cultural heritage, as well as its immense economic potential. The Chinese are re-discovering Britain, too. We are delighted to welcome more Chinese visitors to our country each year. Many more Chinese are finding out about Britain through modern media like television and the internet.3.Indeed , there are more Chinese people learning the English language than there are nativespeakers of English in the world today. This growing relationship is measurable, too, in financial terms. British firms now have a huge presence in China, a sign of their confidence in the country and its future. The UK is the largest European investor, and a British company, BP, is investing more capital in China than any other foreign firm. The largest foreign manufacturing investment in Western China is also British.4.The UK is China’s second largest European trading partner. British exports to China last year,at $3.72 billion were up 17% on the year 2000. China’s exports to Britain are at an all-time high. Many Chinese enterprises now regard Britain ‘s flexible and open economy has an ideal launching pad into the wider European market. All this is a far cry from 1972, when the UK and the PRC first exchanged Ambassadors. Then, there were virtually no Chinese student in Britain. Today, there are over 20,000 –one of the largest overseas communities at our universities.5.Then , there were no direct air services between Beijing and London . this year , more than aquarter of a million British tourists will travel to China, then , no serving British Prime Minister or Foreign Secretary had ever visited chan. last year , there were visits from eleven British ministers. The changing nature of international relations requires governments to work ever more closely together for their mutual benefit. In the globalised world economy, the security and prosperity of individual countries often depends on events beyond our borders.6.We are interdependent as well as independent. Challenges such as fighting environmentaldamage ,ensuring global human rights are properly observed, removing barriers to trade and investment , and reducing poverty , have become truly global issues. They loom larger on the agendas of multilateral organizations like the UN, the WTO and ASEM. In the 21st century , bilateral relations between countries will depend on progress on issues like these.7.As two of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council, our government worktogether on a daily basis on problems affecting every corner of the world. Another change in the relationship between Britain and China has been developments in Hong Kong. I am delighted that Hong Kong has prospered since 1997, and that “one country , two systems”is proving such an effective approach.8.As a signatory of the joint declaration, he UK has an abiding interest in the continuedwell-being of the Special Administration Region. But this is only a part of our wider commitment to China, we are increasing the resources we allocate through our department for international development to poverty reduction in China from 25m this year to 60m by 2004.Unit51.Good morning everybody. And welcome to the launch of our new L50, and to thispresentation . In a way, launch is no longer the correct word. Many of you have already hada chance to get to know the new car in your test drive this morning. So , i will not dwell onthe technical capabilities of this car. What i would like to do is to share with you the thoughts that have gone into developing this new model so that you’ll have a better idea of why it’s such an exciting car to drive.2.I will also talk a bit about what has been happening in our company –the direction we areheading, our strategy, and our ambitions. After that, I’ll talk about some of the major stages in our design and development of this model. After this presentation , We’ll have lunch, which is served in the main conference hall. Our chef has promised a few surpri ses. I ‘m curious as you are about what these might be , but , back to the presentation.3.Our new L50 is the first in a family of new car to be launched this year and in the nextcouples of years. It’s the result of the most ambitious investment in our company’s history-125m, in design and development, in production capabilities, in sales network and in our own people. The investment is base on our understanding of the market and our goal for the future. so what are they then?4.We want to sell 800,000 cars a year for the next 5 years . so far this year, we’ve already sold560,000,and congratulations to those of you that have contributed to this success. This represent nearly 20 % increase over the previous year at a time when the market had declined by nearly 10% .much of the increase sales have come from the commitment and dedication of our dealers and our staff . thank you and well done.5.The launch of this L50 will mark the beginning of a series of launches, giving us a fullrange of new cars, 3-door,5-door, estate, diesel, and from 1 liter all the way up to our luxury2 liter saloon. A convertible and a 4-wheel drive are also in the final design stage. With thisnew family, we’ll be able to compete robustly with any competitor in US, and will be able to take on the EU market too. But products alone are not enough.6.We’ve put substantial amount of money and effort into upgrading our retail operation ,into our dealer network and into our own sales forces. This is built on our in-depth knowledge of our customers, what they want and what they need. It is base on the strength of our brand. If you visit one of our re-branded showrooms, you’ll get a strong impression of our brand and what we stand for. We are taking market shares from our competitors. .we are on target to take even more.7.We believe that the most effective way of getting more customers and growing our businessis by new cars. Not just any new cars. It had to be new cars that re-enforce our brand value.Having test driven the L50, I am sure you will all agree with me that the new L50 is exactly that-an embodiment of performance, safety, and functionality. These are the core elements of our brand value. These are features that have caught the attention of media across Europe. These will be repeated in each and every new member of the family.8.That’s all I’d like to say at this stage. My colleagues will now take you through some of thehighlights in the design and development. This is a short video we produced just before this launch. It is meant to answer some questions, what is the thinking behind this development?How do we translate concepts into a new model? How does our core value influence the thinking of people on the factory floor and in showrooms? Ladies and gentlemen, the new L50.UNIT 71.Traditionally HM Treasury , along with the bank of England ,has been responsible fordeciding all aspects of the UK’S economic and financial policy. Following the 1997 election, in which the Labour Party came to power, the macroeconomic policy framework has been reformed. The aim of this reform is to help provide a framework for improved macroeconomic stability and economic growth.2.I would like to explain the key features of the UK economic policy framework, identify thekey institutions, their leaders and main responsibilities. There are three main institutions.The first is HM Treasury which is responsible for the overall economic framework and forfiscal policy in particular. It is led by the Chancellor, Gordon Brown who is an elected politician.3.He is supported by 4 junior minister with specific responsibilities, who are also electedpolitician . the ministers receive advice from three main source: civil servants, political advisers. And for some specific projects, business leaders also prepare advice. Fiscal policy is decided through two main processes: the budget and the spending review process.4.The budget is presented each spring to parliament. It sets out tax policy for the year. Since1997 there has also been a pre-budget report. This explains progress and suggests some ideas for discussion. Later in the spring budget s decision is made. Spending policy is decided every three years. There are two main elements of spending policy. Both are decided at the same time.5.One , the amount of money which each department receives and two, using this money,targets each department will achieve. For example for the education department a target for how many children pass exams. The second main institution is the bank of England . it is led by someone non-political, at the moment, Eddie George. In 1997 it was given full independent to set interest rates. A committee , which includes a Treasury civil servant , makes the decision.6.The level of interest rates is set in order to achieve a certain rate of inflation. This target isdecided by the chancellor. Therefore although the bank can decide the level of interest rates without any interference, the macroeconomic position is guided by an elected politician who is responsible to the country. The bank also deals in the foreign exchange market.7.Finally, the financial services authority is responsible for monitoring and regulating thefinancial services industry. It has four main aims. One, maintaining confidence in the UK financial system. They supervise stock exchanges . two ,promoting public understanding of the financial system. They help consumers to become informed consumers, so that they can manage their financial affairs more effectively.8.Three , securing the right degree of protection for consumers. They monitor how firms andindividuals are meeting standards. Where serious problems arise they investigate and, if appropriate, discipline or prosecute those that have violated rules, four, helping to reduce financial crime. Their work focuses on three main types of financial crime: money laundrying, fraud, and criminal market misconduct such as insider dealingsUnit 91.Your Excellencies, distinguished guests, my lords, ladies and gentlemen, it is with greatpleasure that I welcome you tonight to this magnificent castle.

Today's topic is "corporate citizen". As we know, earning a reputation as a solid company means going beyond selling a good product at a good price and standing behind it. Being a good corporate citizen earns you a reputation as a valuable member of your professional or local community, helping you in a variety of ways, including creating customer loyalty, helping you attract and retain workers and improving the quality of life in the areas where you do business. Here are a few things you can do as a good corporate citizen: //First, develop a plan. You'll improve your image in your community if you create a well-thought-out corporate social responsibility campaign rather than writing a check here or there as charities knock on your door. You can only spend so much of your money doing good deeds, andthere's no crime in choosing worthwhile causes that also maximize your benefits. Meet with your marketing department to create an annual plan that helps you impress your target customers with repeated acts of giving or other good deeds. //Second, work actively with nonprofits. Don't just write a check to a local animal shelter or youth soccer league. Get involved to maximize the good you can do for them and to increase your exposure. Consider serving on a board of directors of a local nonprofit that can benefit from your business expertise. Offer to lend your website developer to a charity to help redo its website. Have your marketing people offer suggestions for nonprofits' fund-raising and event materials. Get involved with their promotion of your business, negotiating contracts that get your banners and links on their websites, or permission to use their logo on your website and packaging. // Third, get your staff involved. In addition to having your staff work with your nonprofit partners on company time, give them a chance to donate time or money. Ask your employees to volunteer at charity events as ushers, parking attendants and registration desk helpers while wearing your company logo. //Lastly, create a public relation campaign. Work with your nonprofits or local media to get coverage for your activities on a regular basis. Send press releases to media outlets where you advertise and have your nonprofit partners send their releases to their contacts. Use your packaging, website and marketing materials to let consumers know that when they buy from you, they support a charity. //参考译文:如何成为优秀的企业公民早上好!今天我要讲的是企业公民这个话题。
林超论实战口译
在这里,我将举实例介绍我的笔记方法,以及我如何以笔记与大脑短期记忆互动的方式保证译文的精确度。
由于口译条件的限制,其精确度不能以笔译的尺度衡量,也没有必要这样做。
口译的听众与笔译的读者,需求不同,预期也不同。
由于使用实例讲解,无法把口译要点分门别类地举例。
我将顺着例子讲下去。
讲完之后,各项要点也就都包括其中了。
人脑思维速度极快,一闪而过的念头,解说起来会显得繁杂。
不过,我希望你能在开始时,多一点耐心。
很快你就会发现,我的讲解读起来似乎繁杂,但背后的思路,也就是说一旦使用起来,要明快得多。
开始前,提醒一下,不要忘了笔记是必需和记忆互动的。
二者缺一不可。
以下的实例解说,均以此为基础。
讲话原文Following the 1997 election, in which the Labour Party came to power, the macroeconomic policy framework has been reformed.第一层次:一个箭头,加97,再加"选",足以帮助短期记忆,说出译文:"1997年大选之后"。
第二层次:一个"工"加圆圈,提醒"工"字后面还有话。
另外,一条垂直线体现出第二层与第一层有关联。
此后一个箭头,再加"权",足以帮助短期记忆,说出译文:"工党上台掌权"。
第三层次:一个"M"加圆圈,提醒"M"字后面还有话。
从短期记忆中回顾出"宏观经济框架"。
接着,一条横线体现关联,线后一个"改"字,于是补齐译文:"对宏观经济框架进行了改革"。
最后划圈,带横杆,表示本段讲话到此结束。
备注:使用的4个汉字都经过"理顺"。
其中2个是一笔成字。
The aim of this reform is to help provide a framework for improved macroeconomic stability and economic growth.承上启下:一划从上段的"改"字左斜拉下来,接着往右一拐弯。

China's decision to embrace the dynamism of the private sector brings up the role small firms can play in achieving rapid growth and innovation. They are, and can be, a significantengine for economic development. So we have much work to do in our forum. We want to show our Chinese friends how much of a partner the UK can be but also that as a sign of a mature and true relationship, we can afford to be frank and open in our discussions with one another.
尽管当前国际经济形势并不理想,但是中国的经济仍然保持了较高的增长速度。前9个月工业增长10.3% ,农村经济仍然繁荣。还有一个方面使中国人民高兴:外资企业仍然大量到中国寻求发展。
Although the world economy isn't doing well, the Chinese economy has continued to grow at a relatively high rate. In the first 9 months, industrial output grew by 10.3%. The rural economy continues to prosper. There is something else that the Chinese people are happy about. Foreign companies continue to come to China in large numbers.
这在有关竞争力和公司行为准则——这些将于明天讨论——的话题中尤其如此。我们是在具有良好基础的讨论和关系上更上一层楼。我相信,这个论坛将把我们的会谈在两国关系中的特别作用向前推进。
我们同英国朋友再次聚首在美丽的泰晤士河畔,召开我们的第三次大会。我谨代表参加此次会议的中方代表,感谢英方的盛情邀请和精心安排。自去年的大会以来,中国又发生了很大变化。
These opportunities can only be grasped by people. People talking, travelling, exchanging ideas and experiences. And that is what we are here today to do. Our discussions here will centre around a number of very interesting issues: trade and the environment in the globalization of the economy, Chinese culture facing the world, e-learning and e-commerce, balancing public purposes and commercial interests in the media, and China after WTO to name but a few.
我很高兴地宣布我们论坛的第三次会议正式开幕,并在这里欢迎来自我们两国高层的、具有影响力的代表们。我们中的很多人都已经是老朋友了。论坛是为了体现我们两国这间关系的力量——在政治关系之外的力量。环视今日会场,显然,我们的关系非常坚固。
It is a sign for me that the forum goes from strength to strength and I believe it is playing a key role in the relations between our two countries as confirmed by the Prime Minister in our call on him this morning. This year, we have taken the theme "The Challenge of Globalization" for our meetings and discussions. This theme has a particular resonance for me. 这是一个迹象,表明我们的论坛越来越强大。我相信,论坛在我们两国关系中扮演着一个关键的角色。今早,首相在我们拜访他时就确认了这一点。今年,我们选择的主题是“全球化的挑战”,我们将就此进行会谈和讨论。对于这个主题,我尤其有感触。
We are meeting our British friends once again by the beautiful River Thames, for our third conference. On behalf of the Chinese delegates, I'd like to thank our British colleagues for your invitation and your excellent programme. Since last year's conference, China hasundergone yet more changes.
9月11号那天,我正在与一些国际政治家们在北京讨论中国与21世纪的世界。我们当中谁也没有想到,就在我们辩论经济发展、环境改变和安全问题的时候,那天将要发生什么事情。但是,很多发言人都警告说,世界秩序很脆弱。这使我比以往任何时候都更加清楚地认识到国家之间相互理解的重要性。
Our Forum, and the discussions we will have in the next day and a half, are part of this vital process of understanding. Globalization is a challenge for all of us, both developed and developing countries and we have a lot to share and learn. As globalization increases and as all our countries come to terms with the global reach of many industries, we can, as different nations, work together to understand the issues and effects these developments bring.
中国决定利用私营领域的活力。这就提出了小企业在取得高速发展和创新方面的作用。小企业是——也可以是——经济发展的重要动力。所以,我们的ቤተ መጻሕፍቲ ባይዱ坛有很多工作要做。我们要向中国朋友显示,英国是中国强有力的伙伴。另外,作为我们之间关系成熟、真诚的表现,我们能够开诚布公地相互讨论。
This will be particularly true in the sessions on issues of competitiveness and corporategovernance that will be held tomorrow. We are building on discussions and relationships that are already well founded and I believe that this forum will take the special role that our meeting plays in the relations between our two countries further forward.
这些机遇必须由人来把握:人们之间互相交谈、旅行、交流看法和经验。这正是我们今天要做的事情。我们这里的讨论将集中于几个很有意思的问题。经济全球化过程中的贸易与环境、面向世界的中国文化、电子学习、电子商务、在媒体的公共责任和商业利益之间保持平衡、中国入世之后等等。
As far as I can see, joining the WTO presents a huge challenge for China. The requirements of joining WTO for corporate governance, for transparency and for reliable and enforceable laws, whilst producing some pain in the short term, will no doubt be part of the way in which economic growth can be encouraged and sustained. I personally am much looking forwardto my own involvement in the discussions on small and medium sized enterprises.
我们的论坛,以及今后一天半内的讨论,就是这种关键的相互理解过程中的组成部分。全球化对我们大家都是一个挑战,无论是发达国家还是发展中国家都一样。我们有很多需要分享和学习之处。随着全球化的发展,各国都在接受很多行业都已经跨国经营的现实。作为不同的国家,我们可以相互合作,认识这些问题以及这些发展带来的影响。
