9月中级口译真题+参考答案(5)SECTION 3: TRANSLATION TEST (1)(30 minutes)Directions: Translate the following passage into Chinese and write your version in the corresponding space in your ANSWER BOOKLET.The culture of any society is usually thought to be of two kinds: material and nonmaterial. Material culture includes the man-made phenomena which have physical properties such as height, breadth, and weight. A boat, a machine, a house-all these objects are part of the material culture. The nonmaterial culture is that portion of the environment which surrounds man and which has an impact on his behavior but which lacks these material properties: values, beliefs, traditions, and all the other habits and ideas invented and acquired by man as a member of society.Contemporary sociological theory tends to assign primary importance to the nonmaterial culture in choosing problems for study. It assumes, for example, that boats, planes, automobiles, and so forth, are not nearly so important as the traditions we have developed which make their manufacture possible-indeed, which prescribe how we are to use them. The emphasis of contemporary sociology is to insist that the material culture would not exist had not the nonmaterial culture first been available to suggest the ideas which are embodied in the inventions of material culture.SECTION 4: TRANSLATION TEST (2)(30 minutes)Directions: Translate the following passage into English and write your version in the corresponding space in your ANSWER BOOKLET.进入耶鲁大学的校园,看到莘莘学子青春洋溢的脸庞,呼吸着书香浓郁的空气,我不由回想起40年前在北京清华大学度过的美好时光。

年9月中级口译考试真题,答案与解析

年9月中级口译考试真题,答案与解析Spot Dictation:We all have problems and barriers that block our progress or prevent us from moving into new areas. Our problems might include the fear of speaking in front of a group anxiety about math problemsor the reluctance to sound silly trying to speak a foreign language. It's natural to have problems and barriersbut sometimes they limit our experience so muchwe get bored with life. When that happensconsider the following three ways of dealing with the problem or barrier.One way is to pretend it doesn't exist. Avoid itdeny itand lie about it. It's like turning your head the other wayputting on a fake grinand saying"Seethere's really no problem at all. Everything is fine."In addition to looking foolishthis approach leaves the barrier intactand we keep bumping into it. Soa second approach is to fight the barrierto struggle against it. This usually makes the barrier grow. It increases the barrier's magnitude. A person who is obsessed with weight might constantly worry about being fat. He might struggle with it every daytrying diet after diet. And the more he strugglesthe bigger the problem gets.The third alternative is to love the barrier. Accept it. T otally experience it. Tell the truth about it. Describe it in detail.Applying this process is easier if you remember o ideas. First loving a problem is not necessarily the same as enjoying it. Love in this sense means total and unconditional acceptance. Secondunconditional acceptance is not the same as unconditional surrender. Accepting a problem is different than giving up or escaping from it. Ratherthis process involves escaping into the problemdiving into it headfirstand getting to know it in detail.Often the most effective solutions ewhen we face a problem squarelywith eyes wide openthen we can move through the probleminstead of around it. When you are willing to love your problemsyou drain them of much of their energy.【评析】本文选自Dave Ellis 的著作Being a Master Student其中的一个章节:Love your problems and experience your barriers,本文主要介绍了解决问题的三种办法,第一种是直接无视它,就当不存在;第二种是正视它,挑战它,第三种则是爱上困难,充分体验。

9月中级口译考试答案解析(完整版)Spot DictationIn America there are no nobles or men of letters, and the common folk mistrust the wealthy; Consequently lawyers form the highest political class and the most cultivated circle of society. They have therefore nothing to gain by innovation, which adds a conservative interest to their natural taste for public order. If I were asked where I place the American aristocracy, I should reply without hesitation that it is not composed of the rich, who are united together by no common tie, but that it occupies the judicial bench and the bar.When I started researching this topic, I found an interesting website “Legal Reform Now”. As the name suggests, this website is devoted to legal reform and it is definitely concerned about the dominance of lawyers in American government. There I read an article by a political science professor from the university of Wisconsin. One observation the UW article confirms is that the legal profession is the dominant profession of the people re-elect to public office. For example, about half our representatives and two-thirds of our senators are lawyers. No other profession comes close to having the same the number of people in political office. Effectively, lawyers form our nation’s most powerful organized political constituency in America. Lawyers make our laws and lawyers interpret our laws. When judges are appointed, the American bar association is the only professional organization that is consulted to rate the fitness of potential judicial appointees. Our nation has been in existence for over 200 years and lawyers have been this nation’s aristocracy since its formation. Our system works, but do we really want to have a single profession in charge of our nation? Specifically, do we want to have the legal profession in charge?

教育部全国翻译证书考试2001年试题(中级笔译)

教育部全国翻译证书考试2001年试题(中级笔译)中级笔译考试时间:240分钟Part 1Translation from English into Chinese 2 hoursRead the following two passages.Translate them into Chinese.Write you answers on this paper.You may use the additional paper for any rough work but you must copy your answers onto this paper.Passage 1Artificial speechBecause speech is the most convenient form of communication, in the future we want essentially natural conversations with computers. The primary point of contact will be a simple device that will act as our window on the world. You will simply talk to it. The device will be permanently connected to the internet and will beep relevant information up to you as it comes in.Just how quickly people will adapt to a voice-based internet world is uncertain. Many believe that, initially at least, we will need similar conventions for the voice to those we use at present on screen: click, back, forward, and so on. But soon you will undoubtedly be able to interact by voice with all those IT-based services you currently connect with over the Internet by means of a keyboard. This will help the Internet serve the entire population, not just techno-freaks. Changes like this will encompass the whole world. Because English is the language of science, it will probably remain the language in which the technology is most advanced, but most speech-recognition techniques are transferable to other languages provided there is sufficient motivation to undertake the work.Within ten years we will have computers that respond to goal-directed conversations, but for a computer to have a conversation that takes into account human social behaviour is probably 50 years off. We‟re not going to be chatting to the big screen in the living room just yet.There are those in the IT community who believe that current techniques will eventually hit a brick wall. Personally, I believe that incremental developments in performance are more likely. But it‟s true that by about 2040 or so, computer architectures will need to become highly pa rallel if performance is to keep increasing. Perhaps that will inspire some radically new approaches to speech understanding that will supplant the methods we‟re developing now.Small vendors engage in simple spot-market transactions, with buyers and sellers dealing face to face to trade fairly standard products whose quality is easy to verify. Lange multinational firms exchange more differentiated products, face greater difficulties in verifying quality, and must span greater separations in time and space between one part of the transaction and the other. Most economies have both types of markets. But the first is relatively more common in developing countries, the second in industrial economies.Developed markets- more global, more inclusive, and more integrated-offer more opportunity and choice. Underdeveloped markets, more likely in poor countries, tend to be more local and segmented. So, compared with farmers in Canada, poor farmers in Bangladesh have fewer opportunities and far fewer formal institutions (such as banks and formal courts ) to reduce their risks and increase their opportunities.What limits market opportunities? The transaction costs stemming from inadequate information and incomplete definition and enforcement of property rights. And barriers to entry for new participants. What increases them? Institutions that raise the returns from market exchange, reduce risk, and increase efficiency.Yet not all institutions promote inclusive markets. Institutional designs that evolve through historical circumstances or are directed by policy makers are not necessarily the best for all of society or for economic growth and poverty reduction. For instance, state agricultural marketing boards, instead of helping farmers, have often resulted in lower incomes for them in Africa. And institutions that once supported market transactions can outlive their usefulness, for example, privatization agencies and bank restructuring agencies. The challenge for policymakers is to shape institutional development in ways that enhance economic development.Part 2Translation from Chinese into English 2 hoursRead the following two passages.Translate them into Chinese.Write you answers on this paper.You may use the additional paper for any rough work but you must copy your answers onto this paper.Passage 1保姆校长常常听到一些大学校长说:“我把学生当自己的儿女看待。

2001年教育部全国翻译证书测试考题[中级口译]2001年教育部全国翻译证书考试试题[中级口译] 考试时间:30分钟Part 1 English into Chinese[//表示停顿]International Cooperation Against Transnational Organized CrimeOrganized crime groups pose challenges as never before to societies everywhere. Whether involved in drug trafficking, money laundering, people smuggling or outright terrorism they operate in a sophisticated way without regard to national frontiers. The profits of crime are vast. The International Monetary Fund has stated that he aggregate size of money laundering in the world could be somewhere between two and five per cent of the world’s gross domestic product.Putting a dollar figure on that, it is estimated that money laundering activity could now involve asmuch as 1.5 trillion US dollars a year, and it seems likely that half of that figure is attributable to the proceeds of drug trafficking.//Given that profits of this scale can be made, the temptations for people at all levels to get involved are manifest, and we must clearly understand and beak down the vicious cycle that exists between money laundering)and corruption: corruption has to be well funded to, succeed in its object of corrupting public officials and others, and that is being achieved all too often by the use of illicit assets.The manner in which we respond to this problem is not only a test of our concern for a safer world, but a measure of our determination to create a decent future for coning generations.//In the wake of the events of 11 September 2001, a war against terrorism is being pursued on various fronts. This includes a direct assault on money laundering, which is now recognized, more so than ever before, as an insidious crime which is all pervasive. It threatens the stability of our societies. It undermines our financial institutions. It challengesour national security.As a transnational crime, money laundering can only be combated through close cooperation among national authorities efforts by states acting alone to attack the economic power of criminal groups will not succeed if other states do not take complementary action. In the absence of a coordinated and effective international framework, all too oftennon-participating countries offer criminals safe havens for laundering funds.//And as patterns of crime develop and become mere sophisticated and profitable, we in law enforcement must be adequately resourced, fully trained, and efficiently deployed We must prosecute the organized criminals, size their assets, and disrupt their operations. The fight against money laundering will be a protracted and complex process, and we must be prepaid to play a long game. Our societies expect no less of us.For when we fight money laundering, we fight organized crime. When we fight money laundering, we keep drugs out playgrounds and away from our kids. Wekeep weapons out of the hands of terrorists. We protect small business. And we safeguard the human dignity of women。

Fill in each of the blanks with the word or 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 ONL Y ONCE. Now let's begin Part A with Spot Dictation.(Woman) Welcome to this edition of“Human Nature”-a series of lecturers delivered by the local Community College. Today, we'd like to discuss another aspect of human relationship. We are all human, and one part of human nature is to try to“sum one another up”.The first day in class, for example, we sum up the teacher and our classmates. The same is true with our first day in office where we are most likely to sum up our boss or colleagues. We do this in order to find out two things. Firstly, to discover what kind of people they are, and secondly, to find out if we might like to know them better.There are two main ways in which we sum up other people, that is, by looking and listening. If the person we are watching sends messages through his behaviors and actions that we find annoying, our first impression of him will be as an annoying person. We will, therefore, try to avoid or simply ignore this kind of person. If, on the other hand, we are pleased by what he says as well as the way he speaks, behaves or acts, we will probably try to become friendly with him.Some people, however seem afraid to show the kind of person they really are. They try their utmost to cover up their real personality and purposes so that we never know how they feel about us and what they intend to do. Since we can not be sure of their feelings intentions, we are not sure how we feel about them either.When we get to know people, there are certain things we tell them automatically. For example, our name, address, telephone number, our appearance, our leisure likes and music preferences, the way we sit, stand or speak. But there will be things that we do not share. As people spend more time together, they each encourage the other to share more and show more of themselves. In this way, a relationship grows deeper and stronger-provided, of course, that we like what we see and what we hear!Part B: Listening ComprehensionⅠ. StatementsDirections:In this part of the test, you will hear several short statements. These statements will be spoken ONL Y ONCE, and you will not find them written on the paper; so you must listen carefully. When you hear a statement, read the answer choices and decide which one is closest in meaning to the statement you have heard. Then write the letter of the answer you have chosen in the corresponding space in your ANSWER BOOKLET. Question No.1. (Woman) Betty missed a week's work because she was down with a bad cold and was advised by her doctor to stay at home.Question No.2. (Man) I'm glad that Florence has made it and join us in this reception, especially at such short notice.Question No.3. (Woman) Lena wants to give up office work to concentrate on her MBA courses, even though she has been quite successful at her job.Question No.4. (Man) Whatever product is advertised, I think the purpose of the advertiser is to hit your eye and finally hit your pocket.Question No.5. (Woman) We had expected the repairs to cost us no more than fifteen thousand dollars, but the maintenance company charged us twice as much.Question No.6. (Man) We emphasize that only those applicants with appropriate certificates or diplomas are eligible for the job.Question No.7. (Man) On her first day at the office, the new secretary was told to report to the assistant manager's desk.Question No.8. (Woman) At first, the Chairman didn't intend to attend the opening ceremony, but he changed his mind at the last minute.Question No.9. (Woman) If Jack could have fixed the lamp in the hallway, he wouldn't have called in an electrician.Question No.10. (Woman) I can't imagine why Mr. Nicholas hasn't turned up yet. He was due for the board meeting before now.Ⅱ. Talks and ConversationsDirections: In this part of the test, you will hear several short talks and conversations and questions ONL Y ONCE. When you hear a question, read the four answer choices and choose the best answer to that question. Then write the letter of the answer you have chosen in the corresponding space in your ANSWER BOOKLET.Questions 11 to 14 are based on the following conversation.Ann: I hear you're finally retiring at the end of this year, Bill. What will you do with yourself when you've stopped work?Bill: Absolutely nothing. I'll have been working for this company nonstop for forty years by the end of October, and I reckon I deserve a complete rest.Ann: Forty years! You’ll have seen a lot of changes in that time, I imagine.Bill: Yes, and most of the changes have only made things worse. I used to be proud of my work; but how can you take a pried in what you're doing when every two or three years they put a new manager with new- fangled ideas in charge of the factory—and he tell you what you've been doing is all wrong?Ann: Why have you stayed on all these years then, Bill?Bill: Well, it’s the same thing wherever you go. However well you do your job, you don't get on in any firm unless you're a friend of the manager's-and the present manager has certainly been no friend of mine.Ann: Well, I don't know. They don't promote you, whoever you know, if you're inefficient.Bill: Nonsense! What about young chap Dart? He’s an assistant manager already and he's completely incompetent. He’s only there because he's a relative of the managing director’s. They’ll probably make him a director soon!Ann: By the sound of it you won't be sorry to leave.Bill: No I won’t, but it'll be no better at home. Instead of the manager giving me stupid orders, it will be my wife. Now she will be telling me off all day long.Question No.11. How long have the man been working for the company?Question No.12. What is the man's attitude about his company?Question No.13. According to the conversation, which of the following is TRUE?Question No.14. What does the man think about the young ad distant manager?Questions 15 to 18 are based on the following talk.The Topic Professor Roach assigned me for class presentation today is“The Spreading Deserts.”The spread of the desert is not new. In ancient times, for example, the Middle East was a very fertile area. For hundreds of years, those desert people used to move from place to place with their animals sometime before an area was used up and destroyed. This kind of movement gave the land a chance to recover.They also raised crops every other year in an area, so that they would never overwork the land. However, these traditional ways are disappearing, mostly because of the development of modern science and technology. The one-time-fertile land has been overworked, used up and destroyed. More and more areas have been turned to deserts. Today, many factors add to the problems along the edge of the desert. The population is growing, and too many animals feed on the limited and fragile land.The population is growing, and too many animals feed on the limited and fragile land. The sandstorm is affecting more and more habitable regions. Meanwhile, there is now a worldwide effort to stop the spread of the desert. This may be the last chance to save the land.Question No.15. How does the man describe the Middle East in ancient times?Question No.16. What did desert people in ancient times do when an area was going to be destroyed? Question No.17. According to the talk, how did the ancient people help the land to recover?Question No.18. What is one of the factors that contribute to problem of the spreading deserts?Questions 19 to 22 are based on the following conversation.(Man) You have some interesting products.(Woman) Thank you. We import them from several different countries.(Man) It is called a salad spinner, and it is used for drying fruits and vegetables such as lettuce.(Man) Are there any metal parts in it?(Woman) No, it is all made of plastic. So it is light in weight. And it is convenient to use and easy to clean. (Man) Where does it come from?(Woman) It is made in France.(Man) And what about this? What is this one used for?(Woman) It is used for making pasta, you know, spaghetti and things like that.(Man) And it is made in Italy, I suppose.(Woman) Oh, yes, it is. Let me show you some other kitchen gadgets. They sell very well these days. These products of ours are carried by most department stores and large supermarkets in town.(Man) But don't kitchen gadgets go in and out of fashion pretty fast?(Woman) Well, some of them do, but things like food processors have become standard items.(Man) Do you carry a line of food processors too?(Woman) I'm interested in this kind of stuff because I plan to open a new food store in the neighborhood, and Ihave been thinking of adding a line of kitchen equipment. (Woman) Here, take one of ourbrochures. All of our products are described in it.Question No.19. What is the salad spinner made of?Question No.20. Which of the following is a special feature of the salad spinner?Question No.21. Why is the man interested in food processors and other kitchen equipment?Question No.22. What is the most probable relationship between the man the woman?Questions 23 to 26 are based on the following talk.Over the centuries, people's eating habits change from generation to generation. Before scientists learned about vitamins and other constituents of food, such as proteins and carbohydrates, people believed in eating large quantities of food and were not concerned so much about a balanced diet. For example, in the eighteenth century a hearty meal could consist of as many as twenty courses and would probably knock out the most starving and insatiable appetites.Today, people believe in a more balanced diet. In many countries where food shortage is no longer a problem for immediate attention, people start to eat less. More attentions are paid to the nutrition and wholesomeness of the food. Vitamins, proteins, carbohydrates, and even calories became labels on almost every kind of food we eat.In the 21st century people's eating habits may be just as surprising but in a very different sort of way. With a world—wide growth in population, food production will become exclusively mechanical and scientific. There may well be an end to food as we know it today, Meals, as we know them, may become a thing of the past. Food constituents and vitamins may be taken in the form of capsules, tablets or pills. The thought of these highly artificial food constituents taking the place of present day foods may not be very attractive, but they may be the answer to food shortage and severe starvation in some parts of the of world.Question No.23. According to the talk, which of the following are NOT a constituent of food we eat today? Question No.24. How many courses of food could be offered in a hearty eighteenth—century meal?Question No.25. What can we learn from the talk?Question No.26. According to the speaker, which of the following will be an answer to the food shortage and severe starvation in the world today?Questions 27 to 30 are based on the following conversation.(Man) I suppose you heard about that great chunk of concrete falling onto a car in South Street yesterday, didn’t you, Jane?(Woman) Yes, I saw it in the paper. From a two hundred and fifty foot high building, wasn’t it? I gather the driver had just got out or he'd have been killed, wouldn't he?(Man) Yes, I left it in that very spot a couple of days ago, but yesterday it was parked up the road a bit. (Woman) You were in luck then, weren’t you, Bill?(Man) Out to luck, you mean! I’d be very pleased if my old car were smashed to bits. I could claim from the insurance company then, couldn’t I?(Woman) But you used to be so proud of your car, didn’t you, Bill?(Man) I used to be years ago, but now there are all sorts of repairs to be done, and I just haven't got enough spare cash to put it right.(Woman) You can always sell it, can’t you, Bill?(Man) Few people are stupid enough to buy a car in that state, are they?(Woman) The man whose car was crushed yesterday was very annoyed about it. He’ll be given a new car by the builders, though.(Man) Yes, but his car was a specially-built model that can't be replaced, and there was hardly anythingwrong it, was there?(Woman) Well, that’s life! When people actually want to get rid of their cars, this sort of thing seldom happens, does it?Questions No.27. According to the conversation, what happened in South Street yesterday?Questions No.28. Which of the following can be inferred from the conversation?Questions No.29. Why does the man consider himself unlucky in yesterday's incident?Questions No.30. According to the conversation, how did the owner feel when he learnt that his specially built model was crushed?Part C: Listening and TranslationⅠ.
