中级口译笔试历年真题听力文字稿最完整版(97-08)
历年上海中级口译听力部分录音文稿(97.3 - 08.9)97.3SECTION 1:LISTENING TESTPart A: Spot DictationThe development of the Space Shuttle has dramatically reduced the cost of sending loads into space. The Shuttle takes off from Earth like a rocket, and lands again like a huge aircraft. It can transport not only its own crew, but also passengers, and has a huge cargo-hold which is capable of carrying large satellites or a space laboratory.Before the Space Shuttle was created, it was necessary to plan trips into space several years in advance. However, for the rest of the century it should be possible to make space flights every week or so. Any scientist or engineer needing to travel into orbit will simply take the next Shuttle flight, stay as long as necessary, and then return at his or her convenience.It is difficult to imagine the immense opportunities created by the Shuttle. One of the great advantages of having a reusable space vehicle is that it can take one load after another into orbit.Very large space stations could not be launched in their complete form directly from Earth, but they could be built piece by piece in space. The Space Shuttle is likely to be used as a general ―workhorse‖ for the rest of this century, and the building of such stations in orbit should become commonplace.Once these huge orbiting space stations are completed, they are likely to become the platforms from which hundreds of robot space ships could be launched cheaply and easily to explore the solar system and to start mining operations on the Moon. The technology needed for this is already developed and available. And because of commercial and military pressures to develop space technology, it is likely that governments will be increasingly willing to start extensive programs of space engineering, exploration and research.Part B: Listening ComprehensionⅠ.

That is the southwest.Blacks first came to America from Africa as slaves. President Lincoln freed the slaves in 1863. About eleven percent of the present American population are Blacks.The first immigrants in American history came form England and the Netherlands.

The weather was very cold a nd it was snowing, but I was too excited to mind.Passage 2:About seven out of ten people released from prison will be put into prison again sooner or later. Some people think this simply shows that once a person becomes a criminal he will probably remain a criminal. But it could equally suggest that being in prison actually makes people more likely to commit crimes.97.9SECTION 1: LISTENING TESTPart A: Sport DictationDoctors are starting to believe that laughter not only improves your state of mind, but actually affects your entire physical well-being. Britain‘s first laughte r therapist, Robert Holden says, ―Instinctively we know that laughing help us feel healthy and alive. Each time we laugh we feel better and more content.‖A French newspaper found that in 1930 the French laughed on average for nineteen minutes per day. By 1980 this had fallen to six minutes. Eight per cent of the people questioned said that they would like to laugh more. Other research suggests that children laugh on average about 400 times a day, but by the time they reach adulthood this had been reduced to about fifteen times. Somewhere in the process of growing up we lose an astonishing 385 laughs a day.William Fry, a psychiatrist from California studied the effects of laughter on the body. He got patients to watch funny films, and monitored their blood pressure, heart rate and muscle tone. He found that laughter has a similar effect to physical exercise. It speeds up the heart rate, increases blood pressure and quickens breathing. It also makes our facial and stomach muscles work. Fry thinks laughter is a type of jogging on the spot.Laughter can even provide a kind of pain relief. Fry had proved that laughter produces endorphins-chemicals in the body that relieve pain. Researchers divided forty university students into four groups. The first group listened to a funny cassette for twenty minutes. The other three groups listened to either an informative tape, or a cassette intended to relax them, or no tape at all. Researchers found that if they produce pain in the students, those who had listened to the humorous tape could tolerate the discomfort much longer. Some doctors are convinced that humour should be a part of every medical consultation, as there is evidence to suggest that laughter stimulates the immune system.Part B: Listening ComprehensionⅠ StatementsQuestion No. 1.

Trash is normally collected Monday and Thursday, but this week the holiday will cause a delay. Question No. 7.

Pre-school children usually like to play with toy cars and trucks or anything that makes noise. Question No. 10. Martin sent the telegram on Monday, but I received it only yesterday.Ⅱ Talks and ConversationsQuestions 11 to 14 are based on the following talk.One of the most deadly plants in the world is poison hemlock. This plant grows in many parts of the world. It is quite dangerous to humans; people can die if they eat it.One thing that makes poison hemlock really dangerous is that it looks like some plants that people normally eat. Hemlock belongs to the same family of plants as the carrot. The leaves of the plant look very much like parsley, and its roots look like carrots. People will die when they have made a mistake and have eaten poison hemlock when they thought that they were eating either parsley or carrots.Question No. 11.

Doesn‘t that sound good ?M: It does sound great, but I don‘t exactly know how to ski very well.W: That doesn‘t matter. You don‘t have to know how to ski.

What will the man probably do next?Questions 19 to 22 are based on the following talk.I‘m sure you all enjoyed that trip along the Grand Canyon and the Colorado River. It‘s quite amazing, isn‘t it?The next stop on our tour is the Petrified Forest. This is a huge desert forest that is not exactly made of trees. You see, the trees are so old that they have fallen and have turned to stone. They look just like fallen logs, but they are no longer made of wood. Instead they are made o f beautifully colored stone, such as jasper, agate, carnelian, and onyx. It‘s unbelievable to see all of these fallen trees from a distance and then up close see that they are really stone and not wood.When we arrive at the Petrified Forest, please be sure to keep in mind that it is against the law to take any petrified wood out of the forest with you. You may think about picking up just a tiny little piece, but please don‘t do it.Question No. 19. Where have they just been?Question No. 20. Where are they heading now?Question No. 21.

Which of the following is used in making the fast-food packaging?Question No. 26. What does the woman think about the new fast-food packaging?Questions 27 to 30 are based on the following talk.Today dogs are being trained in a variety of ways. One way that dogs are being trained involves ―smell.‖ For example, dogs are being trained to use their sense of smell to find missing persons, hidden drugs, or explosives such as dynamite. Dog trainers have found that almost all types of dogs have equally good senses Of smell. Even though different types of dogs have equivalent sense of smell, they are not equally good at different tasks. However, certain types of dogs are better at certain tasks because of other characteristics they have. For example, beagles are small and friendly, so they are often used at crowded airports to smell for illegal food products in luggage. German shepherds have quick reactions, so they are often used to smell for explosives such as dynamite. Golden retrievers work well in the cold, so they are often used to find people lost in the snow.Question No. 27. What is the topic of the talk?Question No. 28.

The library is closing in a few minutes. Please return the reference books to the shelves they belong to. Those who want to check out reserved books for overnight use may do so now. Thank you very much for your co-operation.Passage 2:Thirty years ago, when I was a small child, my father arranged for me to spend two summer holidays at a farm in the countryside. He thought it would be good for me, and he was right. It taught me a great deal about the importance of independence. The place was so isolated that the owner‘s daughter, who must have been in her early twenties, said that she had never been away from home or seen a locomotive.98.3SECTION 1: LISTENING TESTPart A: Spot DictationBritain is changing more rapidly than ever before in her long history. In some respects the new British society reflects general world trends. In other respects it has kept its own particular flavour. British society is evolving, that is to say, developing and suiting itself to rapidly changing conditions. Evolution rather than revolution or violent change is a special characteristic of the British way of life.This is shown in one way by how the British people vote at elections. The Conservative and Labour Parties have controlled the political scene for the last fifty years, but today neither party can any longer be sure from which class or income group its support will come. Not long ago you would have expected the working classes always to vote for the Labour Party. The word ―labour‖ means ―hard work‖—especially hard work with the hands. The Labour Party is the party which is supposed to represent the ―working man‖. You would also have expected the up per and middle classes to vote for the Conservative Party. The word conservative means ―keeping things as they are‖. The Conservative Party is supposed to be the party which represents property owners, businessmen and the self-employed. In some respects t raditional British ―class distinctions‖ are becoming less clear, and you can be less sure how people will vote. Many members of the middle class support social reform. Many ordinary working people enjoy a better standard of living and are suspicious of any change which might affect them. But the old divisions between the classes remain. Many Conservatives fear that the sovereignty of Parliament is being threatened by the Trade Unions. Many workers are afraid that the Conservative bosses are trying to keep their wages down. But class feelings have not reached a personal level yet. Middle-class and working-class men can stand together at a football match and be the best of friends.Part B: Listening ComprehensionI StatementsQuestion No. 1.

What does the woman want people to do?Questions 23 to 26 are based on the following talk.Today I‘d like to discuss something new that botanists may be bringing us in the near future: plants that Produce plastic. I‘m not talking about artificial plants made from plastic. I‘m talking about living, growing plants that produce a plastic-like substance.The natural plastic from these plants has at least one major advantage over the artificial plastic that is so common today. This new plastic from plants biodegrades quickly, which means that it is much better for the environment. Today‘s artificial plastic biodegrades very slowly. When people finish with plastic products and throw them away, the plastic remains intact for years. These unused plastic products are covering the Earth and causing quite a problem. Perhaps the new, natural plastics from plants can help to solve that problem.Question No. 23. What type of plant is the woman discussing?Question No. 24. What is the major advantage of the new natural plastic?Question No. 25. What is the problem with today‘s artificial plastic?Question No. 26. This lecture might be given in which course?Questions 27 to 30 are based on the following talk.The public schools are famous private schools. The oldest of the public schools were founded to give free education to clever boys whose parents could not afford to educate them privately. They were under ―public‖ management or control. But today these schools, and similar ones founded within the past 120 years, are mostly boarding schools. The pupils live as well as study there. Some public schools also take day-pupils. Normally pupils are admitted by examination. Since state schools do not prepare children for this, parents who wish to send their children to a public school often send them first to a preparatory school. Preparatory schools are small, private primary schools which prepare children for the public school examination.Public schools have produ ced many of Britain‘s most famous and distinguished men and women and many parents are still ready to make great sacrifices to send their children there. More pupils come from Britain‘s upper classes or wealthy families. Recently, however, there has been a great deal of argument about the future of all private schools.。

中级口译历年翻译真题
英译中The shape of the world is changing almost as dramatically as this city's skyline. Today the cold war is over. The risk of the global nuclear conflict has been greatly reduced and the free flow of goods and ideas is bringing to life the concept of a global village. But just as all nations can benefit from the promise of this new world, no nation is immune to its perils. We all have a stake in building peace and prosperity, and in confronting threats that respects no borders—terrorism and drug trafficking, disease and environmental destruction. To meet these challenges most effectively, China and the United States must act in concert. Some argue that with the Cold War's end, the strategic importance of the US-China relationship has diminished. I believe they have it exactly backwards. As a new century begins, the importance of strengthening the ties between the United States and China will grow even greater.【参考译文】世界的面貌正在发生引人注目的变化,其变化之快几乎就象这座城市德空中轮廓。
历年英语翻译资格考试中级口译阅读部分真题
历年英语翻译资格考试中级口译阅读部分真题出自(BEC中级)第三辑真题Next month a large group of British business people are going to America on a venture which maygenerate export earnings for their companies’ shareholders in years to come.A long list of sponsors will support the initiative, which will involve a £3-million media campaign and afortnight of events and exhibitions. The ultimate goal is to persuade more Americans that British companies have something to interest them.While there have been plenty of trade initiatives in the past, the ifference this time round is that considerable thinking and planning have gone into trying to work out just what it is that Americans look for in British products. Instead of exclusively promoting the major corporations, this time there is more emphasis on supporting the smaller, more unusual, niche businesses. Fresh in the memories of all those concerned is the knowledge that America has been the end of many a large and apparently successful business. For Carringtons, a retail group much respected by European customers and investors, America turned out to be a commercial disaster and the belief that they could even show some of the great American stores a retailing trick or two was hopelessly over-optimistic.Polly Brown, another very British brand that rode highfor years on good profits and huge city confidence, also found that conquering America, in commercial and retailing terms, was not as easy as it had imagined. When it positioneditself in the US as a niche, luxury brand, selling shirtsthat were priced at $40 in the UK for $125 in the States, the strategy seemed to work. But once its management decided it should take on the middle market, this success rapidlydrained away. It was a disastrous mistake and the high costof the failed American expansion plans played a large role in its declining fortunes in the mid-nineties.Sarah Scott, managing director of Smythson, the upmarket stationer, has had to think long and hard about what it takes to succeed in America and she takes it very seriouslyindeed. ’Many British fir ms are quite patronising about the US,’ she says. They think that we’re so much more sophisticated than the Americans. They obviously haven’t noticed Ralph Lauren, an American who has been much moreskilled at tapping into an idealised Englishness than any English company. Also, many companies don’t bother to study the market properly and think that because something’s successful in the UK, it’s bound to be successful over there. You have to look at what you can bring them that theyhaven’t already got. On the whole, American companies are brilliant at the mass, middle market and people who’ve tried to take them on at this level have found it very difficult.’This time round it is just possible that changing tastes are running in Britain’s favour. The enth usiasm for massive, centralised retail chains has decreased. People want things with some sort of individuality; they are fed up with the banal, middle-of-the-road taste that America does so well. They are now looking for the small, the precious, the ’real thing’, and this is precisely what many of the companies participating in the initiative do best.。

历年英语翻译中级口译考试试题及答案(完整版)
历年英语翻译中级口译考试试题及答案(完整版)Spot DictationIn America there are no nobles or men of letters, and the common folk mistrust the wealthy; Consequently lawyers formthe 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 commontie, 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-electto public office. For example, about half our representatives and two-thirds of our senators are lawyers. No otherprofession comes close to having the same the number ofpeople 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 isthe 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 beenthis 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? Next t ime you vote, that’s something to think about.评析:这篇文章是关于律师在美国的地位。

09.91. 英汉翻译What is a novel? I say: an invented story. At the same time a story which, though invented, has the power to ring true. True to what? True to life as the reader knows life to be or, it may be, feels life to be. And I mean the adult, the grown-up reader. Such a reader has outgrown fairy tales, and we do not want the fantastic and the impossible. So I say to you that a novel must stand up to the adult tests of reality.You may say:”If one wants truth, why not go to the literally true book? Biography or documentary, these amazing accounts of amazing experiences which people have.”Yes, but I am suggesting to you that there is a distinction between truth and so-called reality. The novel does not simply recount experience. And here comes in what is the actual livening spark of the novel: the novelist’s imagination has a power of its own. It does not merely invent, it perceives. It intensifies, therefore it gives power, extra importance, and greater truth to what may well be ordinary and everyday things.2. 汉英翻译有两个大款附庸风雅,参加一个冷餐会,与会者自然不乏真正的名流学者。

But failure to come to terms with them will drive a wedge between all of us and a prosperous, healthy future for this country.我们作为个人和一个国家(民族),其特性表现为我们所做的选择,而且还常常表现为我们不想/避免做出的艰难决定(来确定的)。

“松鼠鲑鱼”色泽黄亮,形如松鼠,外皮脆而内肉嫩,汤汁酸甜适口。
//在品尝过“松鼠鲑鱼”之后,我们常常惊讶于“松鼠”的形状,觉得在三大评价标准上在添加“形”这个标准才更合适。

英译中The shape of the world is changing almost as dramatically as this city's skyline. Today the cold war is over. The risk of the global nuclear conflict has been greatly reduced and the free flow of goods and ideas is bringing to life the concept of a global village. But just as all nations can benefit from the promise of this new world, no nation is immune to its perils. We all have a stake in building peace and prosperity, and in confronting threats that respects no borders—terrorism and drug trafficking, disease and environmental destruction. To meet these challenges most effectively, China and the United States must act in concert. Some argue that with the Cold War's end, the strategic importance of the US-China relationship has diminished. I believe they have it exactly backwards. As a new century begins, the importance of strengthening the ties between the United States and China will grow even greater.【参考译文】世界的面貌正在发生引人注目的变化,其变化之快几乎就象这座城市的空中轮廓。
今天,冷战已经结束。
全球核冲突的危险性已大大减小,商品和思想的自由交流正在激发地球村的概念。
但是,正如世界各国会受益于这个新世界的美好前景,没有一个国家能够免遭其祸害。
缔造和平与繁荣,抵御不分国界的诸多威胁---恐怖主义、贩毒、疾病和环境破坏,这些与我们大家都有着利害关系。
为了最有效地迎接这些挑战,中国和美国必须协力行动。
有些人说,随着冷战的结束,美中关系的战略意义已经减弱了。
我认为这些人刚好说反了。
随着新世纪的开始,加强美国和中国的联系,其重要性将变得更大。
中译英手术室的门开了,我和爸爸急忙走进去。
啊,妈妈那双炯炯有神的大眼睛紧闭着,平进红红的脸现在苍白了。
望着病中的妈妈,我想起了1981年夏天奶奶生病的情景。
那年是上海少有的炎热天气。
奶奶住院了,妈妈一天要去医院好几次,晚上还要去看护奶奶。
妈妈多少天没有好好吃饭,好明显的瘦了。
妈妈是音乐教师,好不仅用歌声教育学生什么是爱,也用实际行动告诉我孝敬父母是我们中华民族的美德。
现在妈妈生病了,我一定要好好照顾她,做一个孝敬妈妈的好女儿。
【参考译文】The operating room opened, and Dad and I hurried in. Oh, Mom’s big, bright eyes were closed tight, and her normally red face looked pale.Looking at sick Mom, I recalled the summer of 1981 when Granny was ill.That summer was unusually hot in Shanghai. Granny was hospitalized. Mom went to the hospital several times a day, and in the evening she was also there looking after Granny. Having had no good meal several days running, Mom was obviously thinning.Mom is a music teacher. She not only teacher her students what love is all about with her songs but tells me by what she does that showing filial respect to parents is a virtue of our Chinese nation. Now that Mom is sick, I must take good care of her and be a fine daughter who is filial towards Mom.97年9月Dolphins, like whales, must surface to breathe air through a blowhole on top of their heads. Dolphins are social animals and love company. Many of them, in fact, even enjoy being around humans. It is not uncommon to hear of dolphins giving rides through the water to humans.In addition to being playful, dolphins are helpful to men. For example, as 400 B. C. the Greek poet Arion was saved from drowning by a dolphin. From then until now, dolphins have been helping swimmers who are in trouble. Swimmers, however, are not the only humans they help. In some parts of the world, they can be counted on to help men catch fish.Moreover, dolphins are very intelligent. A dolphin's brain resembles a human brain, but it is larger. Consequently, some people claim that dolphins are really smarter than men. Of course, there is no way of proving this point. Brain size is not an absolute measure of intelligence. Furthermore, measuring dolphins' intelligence in other ways is not possible since men cannot fully communicate with them. Apparently, however, dolphins communicate with each other. At any rate, they make whistling, clicking and buzzing sounds which seem to be at least a form of language. So far, however, men have not been able to figure out the communication code the dolphins use.【参考译文】海豚与鲸鱼一样,需要不时浮出水面以其头顶上的鼻孔进行呼吸。
海豚是群居动物,爱结伴。
事实上,不少海豚还以与人相处为乐,它们在水中供人乘骑之事也是常有所闻的。
除了可爱逗趣之外,海豚对于人类是极有帮助的。
例如,早在公元前400年希腊诗人艾里昂就因溺水而被一头海豚救起。
至今为止,海豚一直在帮助遇到麻烦的游泳者。
不仅如此,它们还能帮助人们捕鱼。
更有甚者,海豚智力发达。
它的大脑与人类的相似,但容量更大。
因而有人宣称,海豚真的比人更聪明。
当然,现在没法证明这点。
脑容量并不是一个决定聪明程度的检测标准。
还有,由于人们无法完全同海豚进行交流,也就不可能用其他方法测定它们的智力,然而,海豚与海豚之间显然能进行交流。
不管怎么说,他们发出的哨音、咔哒声和嗡嗡声等至少是一种语言的形式。
但是,迄今为止人们尚不能解释海豚语言交流的密码。
中译英每年春季,数以万计的中外客商云集申城,参加一年一度的华东出口品交易会。
上海各类商品在这里与全国各地一比短长。
上海的优势在于科技实力,因此高技术产口的出口应成为上海外贸出口增长的“排头兵”。
著名物理学家杨振宁教授曾说:“高科技战场是中国超越发达国家的主战场,也是最后的战场。
”走发展高科技贸易之路,是历史的必然,也是末来的需要。
【参考译文】Every spring hundreds of thousands of domestic and foreign businessmen swarm into Shanghai to attend the annual East China Export Commodity Trade Fair. Here, all kinds of goods from Shanghai compete with the goods from other places in China. The advantage of Shanghai lies in its advanced scientific and technological strength, therefore the export of high-tech products should take the lead in increasing Shanghai’s foreign trade and export.Professor Yang Zhenning, a famous physicist, once said, “The high-tech battlefield is the main and the last batt lefield for China to overtake the developed countries.” It is not only indispensable in history, but also necessary in the future to develop by way of promoting high-tech trade.98年3月英译中One way an organization can find staff for job vacancies is to recruit outside the company. It may opt to put an advertisement in a newspaper or magazine which gives a short description of the job and invites introductory letters from applicants. Since the company would not desire applicants who do not have a good profile. it is important that an application form sent to a profile. it is important that an application form sent to a prospective applicant should request clear information about such things as the applicant's age, qualifications and work experience as well as references from other individuals who know the applicant well. This information assists the company's management in making a final decision on those applicants they can short-list for an interview.The staff conducting an interview together are called an “interview panel”, who, prior to the interview, carefully review the job descriptions, personnel specifications, and applications. To help the panel in their selection, an interview assessment form is often used during the interview when each applicant is checked according to a number of criteria indicated on the form.【参考译文】企业组织找人补充职位空缺的办法之一是向公司以外招聘。
