Start interpreting at the signal.., and stop it at the signal...You may take notes while you are listening. Remember you will hear the passages ONLY ONCE. Now let us begin Part A with the first passage.听力原文：The arts inspire the creativity of a people. When the creative pulse cannot beat, when it cannot freely select its methods and objects, when it is deprived of spontaneity, then society cuts off the root of the arts. I have always said that one of my primary objectives as Minister for the Arts is to promote access to the arts, to encourage more people to participate in the arts and to make the arts a real option for people everywhere. Therefore, it is essential to have the proper facilities to make this happen and for this reason, it was a great pleasure to be in a position to donate 50,000 to the European Artists Centre. Artists often need solitude in which to work. They need the time and space to reflect, far and away from the bustle of the everyday world, and if possible with kindred spirits to talk to from time to time. The European Artists Centre is the right place.1．Passage 1正确答案：艺术激发民族的创造力。

Translate the following passage（s） into Chinese ）第1题【正确答案】：我很高兴来到这里与大家一起通过《美国环境之窗》这个节目纪念第一个地球日。
虽然我还没有看过这个电视系列片。
但我通过配套的介绍材料知道这是一个大手笔。
节目制作者采访了很多美国环保运动领袖，从七十年代的早期创始人到当代环保运动的参与者。
//我确信你们在这里会听到许多不同的观点，因为美国环保运动的多样性正是其强大影响力的部分原因。
个人以及非政府组织能够表达自己的观点并在新闻媒体及选举过程中发表看法，这些正是美国环保运动的基础，也是其至今长盛不衰的原因。
1970年那个地球日仍然让我记忆犹新。
当时我在上小学，那天我和同学们走到室外通过观察学校后面池塘里的生物来了解我们的环境。
那是第一个地球日，口号是“心系全球，从我做起”。
我们年轻的老师希望我们更好地了解周围的环境。
//现在的老师们有各种各样精彩的教材来帮助学生们了解环境，学习诸如生物多样性、气候变化和臭氧层保护等概念。
而在七十年代，这些概念对我们来说仍是陌生的。
但是我们听说过有毒化学物质、荒漠化以及我们那次池塘研究的题目——水污染，还有土地使用问题。
我们当时通过学习去了解这些对我们的未来会产生多大的影响。
//1970年地球日的创意是由个人，而不是政府提出的，因此它依靠其自身的力量发展壮大。
在第一年就有2千万美国人参与到活动中来。
我们说“心系全球”，但那时美国人还没有像现在这样真正的想到美国本土以外的情况。
同样，在1970年的中国，播出一部22集有关美国的电视系列片也是不可想象的。
又过了两年之后，美国总统尼克松访华的画面才在美国的电视里播出，我们才开始有机会相互了解。
//今天，美国和中国在地球日这一天有许多共同的庆祝活动。

Interpret the following passage from English to Chinese. You will hear this signal to tell you when you start interpreting）第1题【正确答案】：英国大学可大致分为三组。
牛津和剑桥是古老的大学。
13世纪初期就有学者在那里做研究。
第二组是红砖大学。
红砖这一词现在已不常用了，但用它来表示这一组大学很合适，因为这些大学多数是由当时最流行的建筑材料——红砖建成的。
新大学是第二次世界大战后成立的大学。
由于大学课程设置更现代化，一些学生宁愿选择新大学，而不选古老的大学。
现在说开放大学(广播电视大学)多么成功还为时过早。
对此持批评态度的人抱怨成本太高，但这所新型大学也许是迄今所发现的最经济、影响最广泛的传播教育的方式。
[本题分数]： 25.0 分【答案解析】[听力原文]British universities can be divided roughly into three main groups. The old universities are Oxford and Cambridge. Scholars are studying there in the early thirteenth century.The second group is the redbrick universities. The term "redbrick" is not used much today, but it is a useful way of describing this group of universities, many of which were built in the favorite building material of the time — red brick.The new universities are founded since the Second World War. Because of their more modern approach to university courses, some students choose the new universities in preference to the old universities.It is too early yet to say how successful the Open University will be. Its critics complain of the cost, but this new university is probably the cheapest and most far-reaching method yet found of spreading further education.第2题【正确答案】：我国的政治和经济前途与亚洲以及其他太平洋邻国的政治和经济前途休戚相关。
2014catti二级口译
第一篇有关鼓励中国企业在美国投资的讲话。
这个段落显得非常口语化，信息安排比较简单，唯一的难点就是速度显得有一些快，这对于考生的笔记是个挑战。
第一段As someone has long been engaged in promoting America's trade ties to China, I am so glad to attend today’s seminar on Chinese investment in the states and I very much appreciate your interest in making an investment in my country. The message I wish to convey to you is loud and clear. United State welcomes China's investments a point made abundantly clear by President Obama when he met Chinese president Xi Jinping in California. Why? The reason is simple. We need Chinese investment to create good-paying American jobs, upgrade our infrastructure and broaden our middle-class.对于二级学员来说，一般应该已经熟练掌握笔记的结构与符号，应该是学会简化笔记，利用较少的信息复述较多内容的时候了，这个段落的第一句看似字很多，但实际落在纸面的似乎没有什么内容，”trade tie”, “seminar”, “appreciate”,这三个概念就足以支撑起对这句话内容的提示。
后面一句中的三个列举对于考生是第一个考验，列举中稍有难度的是 broaden our middle class, “增加中产阶级人数。

我们的目标是提供高质量的教学。
我们在引进新观念方面一直很有创新精神，尤其是在引进用将网络教学作为课程组成部分的新技术方面。
我们十分强调研究。
或许另外一点是国际水准。
我认为每个大学都有其侧重，要么是地区性，要么是全国性，但我们常说的一句话是“根植当地，联系全球”。
我们在与中国的大学建立一些联系。
对我来说，就是要会见一些关键人物，为将来的合作和交流签下协议。

Our purpose is to provide better education for young people across the country, particularly for those economically disadvantaged groups in the remote areas.We aim to provide very high quality teaching and learning. We have been quite innovative in introducing new ideas, in particular, new technology using e-learning as part of the curriculum.We put a lot of emphasis on research. Perhaps the other thing is international quality. I think every university has a regional or national focus, but the phrase we use is "locally rooted, globally connected". We are building up some links with universities in China. For me, it's to meet the key people and sign agreements for future collaboration and exchange. There is great opportunity for student exchange and staff exchange.第2题【正确答案】：美国人民和中国人民或许在语言、风俗和政治信仰上截然不同，但在我们这个时代的许多至关重要的问题上，我们两国人民之间几乎没有距离。

Translate the following passage（s） into Chinese ）第1题【正确答案】：如果你认为多媒体只是可以在家中单独享用的东西，你应该再想一想。
银行处在“信息高速公路”的前沿，因为它们对这种技术比任何其他类型的民用企业投资更多。
以资产在美国银行中排列第四的摩根公司为例。
它开发了一种系统，借助一支电子笔就能在计算机屏幕上快速完成交易和文件。
公司在伦敦的证券分析员以及在东京的交易商可以通过同一屏幕进行交谈。
建立客户信用、成交都比通过电话线路要快，何况电话还无法传送图像。
这种电子新玩意儿，目前正被引入到摩根公司在纽约的交易所采用，最终会在包括亚洲在内的全球范围内使用。
这样一来，就可以在吉隆坡和曼谷等首都建立较经济的小型交易室，而把摩根公司开销大的事务部门集中在新加坡。
摩根公司开拓性的举措表明，美国银行正在利用高科技和大量资金来打开亚洲市场。
欧洲和日本的竞争对手们也在这么干，但它们不像美国银行那样，能够得到大量的储蓄资金。
例如，美国养老基金资产总计达四万四千亿美元，是日本的三倍多。
美国机构在亚洲日益增长的资金需求和世界其他地区可提供的资金之间充当桥梁最为合适。
当然，这座桥梁也可能摇晃，就像二十世纪八十年代拉美债务危机发生时那样，但在二十世纪九十年代亚洲经济基本条件如此良好的情况下，难以想象这种类似事情还会发生。
美国银行花了近十年的时间才从拉丁美洲的窘境中逃脱出来，但它们现在已经成为强大的竞争者。
它们处理了坏账，削减员工，做得比日本同行们更大胆。
日本银行因无法从挥金如土的房地产投机商那儿收回贷款而陷入了困境。
美国商业银行在亚洲跨境业务中最棘手的竞争对手很可能不是日本人，而是它们本国投资银行的同胞。
亚洲的资本市场，像其他地方一样，将成为他们争夺的战场。

Translate the following passage（s） into Chinese ）第1题【正确答案】：我想对大家说的是，我对北京将在2008年举办一届杰出的奥运会充满信心。
这对于中国乃至世界来说都将是一件盛事，并且它已经开始为增强中澳两国业已十分紧密的关系发挥作用。
我个人同北京奥运会的接触开始于北京申奥时期。
对于我和其他许多澳大利亚人来说能够有机会支持并帮助北京申奥远不只是一次有趣的职业经历，这更是一个能做些重要事情的机会。
//我们那时和现在都坚信，承办这一世界上规模最大、水平最高的人民的运动盛会将进一步推动中国的现代化进程以及中国同国际社会的友好融合。
举办奥运会的目的当然不是地缘政治性的，而是要举行一次体育与文化的庆典。
但是，两次举办奥运会的经验告诉我们，奥运会可以也一定会留下更加丰富和伟大的遗产。
1956年的墨尔本奥运会让澳大利亚在历史上第一次为欢迎全世界友人的到来而欢庆。
2000年的悉尼奥运会让我们有机会向世界展示现代澳大利亚的活力。
//所以，六年后将是中国的机会。
这笔遗产的一部分是有形的，包括世界级水准的会场及其他城市建筑的建设，奥林匹克绿地的修建，以及贸易、投资和商业往来的增加。
北京为实现这些有形遗产所作的规划令人赞叹，不仅表现在他们雄心勃勃的目标上，而且表现在组织者为实现目标而下的决心上。
然而，从长远看，2008奥运会的无形遗产也许将更为重要。
这里我指的是重视环保意识的提高。
中国虽然已将其列为国家的首要任务，但还要通过承诺举办绿色奥运来予以加强。
//我一直记得，从北京申奥那时起，中国人民，特别是年轻人就十分高兴能有机会作为东道主欢迎来自世界各地的运动员、官员及来访者，向来宾们展示中国并与他们建立新的友谊。
国际关系不仅限于政府间的政治交往和企业间的经济往来。
2014年初级英语翻译口译资格证书笔译考试真题
2014年初级英语翻译口译资格证书笔译考试真题第二部分笔译考试Part A: Translate the following passages from English into Chinese（two passages, each 25 points）Passage 1 :Can man be credited with choosing the right path when he knows only one？Can he be congratulated for his wise decision when only one judgment is possible? If he knows nothing of vice, is he to be praised for adhering to virtue?Wisdom consists of the deliberate exercise of judgment; knowledge comes in the discrimination between those known alternatives. Weighing these alternatives is the way of maturity. Only then does man have the strength to follow his choice without wavering, since that choice is based firmly onknowledge rather than on an uncertain, dangerously shallow foundation of ignorance.Passage 2 :For many years the United States and other nations used gold and silver money. Paper money was used to stand for the holding of both silver and gold. The value of silver was limited to that of gold. Fifteen ounces of silver had the same value of one ounce of gold. These values didn’t change until after 1860 when mines in the west of the United States began to produce large amounts of silver. This extra amount of silver caused its price to fall. No longer would fifteen ounces of silver buy one ounce of gold. In 1871, Germany declared that it would no longer support its paper money with silver. Instead, it would use only gold. Other countries of Europe quickly did the same.Part B: Translate the following passages from Chinese into English ( two passages, each 25 points )Passage 1 :西湖位于福州市区西北的卧龙山下，最初开挖于晋代。

Start interpreting at the signal.., and stop it at the signal...You may take notes while you are listening. Remember you will hear the passages ONLY ONCE. Now let us begin Part A with the first passage.听力原文：There are more than five thousand languages spoken today. They are so different that most of them are mutually unintelligible. That’s why we need a lot of translators and interpreters. We are all intimately familiar with at least one language, yet few of us ever stop to consider what we know about our language and linguistic competence. Many of them even barely know the definition of language. We may say that language is a tool of communication. But if language is defined merely as that, then language is not unique to humans. We know birds, bees, whales, and most other creatures communicate in some way. A basic property of human language is its creative aspect, that is, a speaker’s ability to combine the basic linguistic units to form an infinite set of grammatical sentences.1．Passage 1正确答案：今天人们所说的语言达5000多种。

2014年11月份英语笔译二级真题
Part 1：English-Chinese TranslationPassage 1WATERLOO, Belgium — The region around this Belgian city is busily preparing to commemorate the 200th anniversary in 2015 of one of the major battles in European military history. But weaving a path through thep reparations is proving almost as tricky as making one‟s way across the battlefield was back then, when the Duke of Wellington, as commander of an international alliance of forces, crushed Napoleon.A rambling though dilapidated farmstead called Hougoumont, which was crucial to the battle‟s outcome, is being painstakingly restored as an educational center. Nearby, an underground visitor center is under construction, and roads and monuments throughout the rolling farmland where once the sides fought are being refurbished. More than 6,000 military buffs are expected to re-enact individual skirmishes.While the battle ended two centuries ago, however, hard feelings have endured. Memories are long here, and not everyone here shares Britain‟s enthusiasm for celebr ating Napoleon‟s defeat.Every year, in districts of Wallonia, the French-speaking part of Belgium, there are fetes to honor Napoleon, according to Count Georges Jacobs de Hagen, a prominent Belgian industrialist and chairman of a committee responsible for restoring Hougoumont. “Napoleon, for these people, was very popular,” Mr. Jacobs, 73, said over coffee. “That is why, still today, there are some enemies of the project.”Belgium, of course, did not exist in 1815. Its Dutch-speaking regions were part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, while the French-speaking portion had been incorporated into the French Empire. Among French speakers, Mr. Jacobs said, Napoleon had a “huge influence — the administration, the Code Napoléon,” or reform of the legal system. W hile Dutch-speaking Belgians fought under Wellington, French speakers fought with Napoleon.That distaste on the part of modern-day French speakers crystallized in resistance to a British proposal that, as part of the restoration of Hougoumont,a memorial be raised to the British soldiers who died defending its narrow North Gate at a critical moment on June 18, 1815, when Wellington carried the day. “Every discussion in the committee was filled with high sensitivity,” Mr. Jacobs recalled. “I said, …This is a condition for the help of the British,‟ so the North Gate won the battle, and we got the monument.”If Belgium was reluctant to get involved, France was at first totally uninterested. “They told us, …We don‟t want to take part in this British triumphalis m,‟” said Countess Nathalie du Parc Locmaria, a writer and publicist who is president of a committee representing four townships that own the land where the battle raged. （原文地址：/2013/09/24/world/europe/200-years-after-battle-some-hard-feelings-remain.html 注）Passage 2Bayer cares about the bees.Or at least that‟s what they tell you at the company‟s Bee Care Center on its sprawling campus here between Düsseldorf and Cologne. Outside the cozy two-story building that houses the center is a whimsical yellow sculpture of a bee. Inside, the same image is fashioned into paper clips, or printed on napkins and mugs.“Bayer is strictly committed to bee health,” said Gillian Mansfield, an official specializing in strategic messaging at the company‟s Bayer CropScience division. She was sitting at the center‟s semicircular coffee bar, which has a formidable espresso maker and, if you ask, homegrown Bayer honey. On the surrounding walls, bee fun facts are written in English, like “A bee can fly at roughly 16 miles an hour” or, it takes “nectar from some two million flowers in order to produce a pound of honey.” Next year, Bayer will open another Bee Care Center in Raleigh, N.C., and has not ruled out more in other parts of the world.There is, of course, a slight caveat to all this buzzy good will.Bayer is one of the major producers of a type of pesticide that the European Union has linked to the large-scale die-offs of honey bee populations in NorthAmerica and Western Europe. They are known as neonicotinoids, a relatively new nicotine-derived class of pesticide. The pesticide wasbanned this year for use on many flowering crops in Europe that attract honey bees.Bayer and two competitors, Syngenta and BASF, have disagreed vociferously with the ban, and are fighting in the European courts to overturn it.Hans Muilerman, a chemicals expert at Pesticide Action Network Europe, an environmental group, accused Bayer of doing “almost anything that helps their products remaining on the market. Massive lobbying, hiring P.R. firms to frame and spin, inviting commissioners to show their plants and their sustainability.”“Since they learned people care about bees, they are happy to start the type of actions you mention, …bee care centers‟ and such,” he said.There is a bad guy lurking at the Bee Care Center — a killer of bees, if you will. It‟s just not a pesticide.Bayer‟s culprit in the mysterious mass deaths of bees can be found around the corner from the coffee bar. Looming next to another sculpture of a bee is a sculpture of a parasite known as a varroa mite, which resembles a gargantuan cooked crab with spiky hair.The varroa, sometimes called the vampire mite, appears to be chasing the bee next to it, which already has a smaller mite stuck to it. And in case the message was not clear, images of the mites, which are actually quite small, flash on a screen at the center.While others point at pesticides, Bayer has funded research that blames mites for the bee die-off. And the center combines resources from two of the company‟s divisions, Bayer CropScience and Bayer Animal Health, to further study the mite menace.“The varroa is the biggest threat we have” said Manuel Trit schler, 28, athird-generation beekeeper who works for Bayer. “It‟s very easy see to them, the mites, on the bees,” he said, holding a test tube with dead mites suspended in liquid. “They suck the bee blood, from the adults and from the larvae, and inthis way they transport a lot of different pathogens, virus, bacteria, fungus to the bees,” he said.Conveniently, Bayer markets products to kill the mites too — one is called CheckMite —and Mr. Tritschler‟s work at the center included helping design a “gate” to affix to hives that coats bees with such chemical compounds.There is no disputing that varroa mites are a problem, but Mr. Muilerman said they could not be seen as the only threat.The varroa mite “cannot explain the massive die-off on its own,” he said. “We think the bee die-off is a result of exposure to multiple stressors.”(原文地址：/2013/12/12/business/energy-environment/accused -of-harming-bees-bayer-researches-a-different-culprit.html?pagewanted=all& _r=0 注）Part 2：Chinese-English TranslationPassage 1矿产资源是地壳和地表经地质作用形成的自然富集体，在当今经济技术条件下具有开发利用价值的，呈固态、液态和气态产出的自然资源。
2014年9月中口翻译答案与解析
2014年9月中口翻译答案与解析SECTION 3：TRANSLATION TEST(1)参考答案ROBOTS came into the world as a literary device whereby the writers and film-makers of the early 20th century could explore their hopes and fears about technology, as the era of the automobile, telephone and aeroplane picked up its reckless jazz-age speed. Since moving from the page and screen to real life, robots have been a mild disappointment. They do some things that humans cannot do themselves, like exploring Mars, and a host of things people do not much want to do, like dealing with unexploded bombs or vacuuming floors. And they are very useful in bits of manufacturing.起初机器人是以虚幻的文学形象出现的，它是20世纪早期作家和电影人表达对科技憧憬和畏惧的一种方式。
当时，汽车、电话和飞机迅猛发展如同“爵士乐时代”一般，肆无忌惮、不计后果。
机器人后来走出书本和荧屏成为现实，而且大体十分能干。
他们既做了很多人类做不了的事情，例如火星探测，也做了很多人类不想做的事情，例如拆除炸弹、清扫地板。
此外，他们在制造业里也发挥了巨大作用。
But reliable robots—especially ones required to work beyond the safety cages of a factory floor—have proved hard to make, and robots are still pretty stupid. So although they fascinate people, they have not yet made much of a mark on the world. That seems about to change. The dramatic growth in the power of silicon chips, digital sensors and high bandwidth communications improves robots just as it improves all sorts of other products.但要制造出经久耐用的机器人并非易事，特别是可以在工厂车间安全范围外、去更危险地方工作的机器人。

第1题
【正确答案】：
人脑平均有100亿个神经细胞，分为两个大致对称的半球，有时称右半球和左半球。
人脑的两半球虽然就其大小和形状而言比较相像，却各司其职。
大多数人的左半球主要负责语言，左半球的这种语言功能优势似乎在婴儿出生前便已存在。
另一方面，(人脑的)右半球掌管着视觉和空间技能，并负责对非语言的声音以及音乐旋律的感知。

[听力原文]
The human brain which contains an average of ten billion nerve cells, is divided into two roughly symmetrical hemispheres, sometimes called right and left brains.
The two sides of the brain, while fairly comparable in size and form, appear to specialize in handling various tasks.
In most individuals, the left hemisphere has primary responsibility for language and this left brain dominance in linguistic functions appears to exist prior to birth.
The right hemisphere, on the other hand, controls visual and spatial skills as well as the perception of nonlinguistic sounds and musical melodies.
