中级口译练习答案 14国际关系—中美关系

A. 总统先生，我们很荣幸能有此机会和您交谈，您的中国之行已近半程。

我想您对今天的中国有了更清晰的认识。

在您的印象中中国是不是和从前不一样了呢？
(Mr. President, we are very honored to have this opportunity to talk to you now that your trip in China is almost halfway. And I guess you have gained a clearer picture of today’s Chi na. Is the China in your impression now different from what you knew before?)
B. Oh, yes.
(是的)
A. 那最令人难忘的变化是什么呢？
（and what’s the most impressive difference?）
B. Well, China’s still the most populous country in the world, but I think one is immediately stru ck by the dramatic economic growth and by the opening of China to the rest of the world. I also believe that there is a genuine increase in people’s control over their own lives. Incomes are going up, people have more choices in education, more choice in jobs, the freedom to travel. The state-run industries are going down in relative importance and cooperatives and private businesses are coming up. So I think there is a genuine movement forward openness and freedom in China. (中国仍然是世界上人口最多的国家，但我想中国经济的迅速发展，中国对外开放的强大力度会迅速打动每一个人。

我也相信人民对生活的自主权真真切切地提高了。

收入在增加，人民在教育，就业上有更多的选择，现在大家爱去哪就去哪。

国有产业的重要性在相对下降，合资和私营企业却日趋重要。

我想中国正在脚踏实地地走向开放和自由。

)
A. 总统先生，很显然您对今天的中国有了深刻的认识。

现在你在中国待了近一个星期。

那您认为此次之行的主要成果是什么呢？
（Mr. President, you have obviously made very in-depth observations of China today. Now you have been in China for almost one week. What do you think are the major achievements through your trip here?）
B. I think there are several. First of all, in the whole area of nonproliferation, the fact that we have agreed not to target nuclear weapons at each other is very important. The second thing is, China has agreed to work with us to stop the transfer of technologies to countries that might misuse it, and to consider joining the worldwide system that prevents the exportation of dangerous technologies. That’s also important. But finally, I think that in the end it may be that the biggest achievement was the increased understanding and the sense of a shared future.
(我想有几项成就。

首先，在防止武器扩散方面，我们达成协议不把核武器瞄准对方，这一点非常重要。

其次，中国同意和我们一起不将技术转让到可能将其无用的国家，中国还同意考虑加入防止危险技术出口的全球体系之中。

这也很重要。

可我想最大的成就就在于我们彼此增进了解，对未来有了一致的看法。

)
A. 我想中国人民和美国人民都很乐意看到这些成就。

（And I think Chinese people and American people enjoyed that.）
B. I think so. So I think it’s a very productive trip.
(我想是的。

所以我觉得不虚此行。

)
A. 总统先生，你也承认中国和美国有一些分歧。

在当今世界中国是最大的发展中国家，而美国是最大的发达国家。

对这两个既有着共识又有着分歧的国家，他们应如何发展彼此之间的关系？
（Mr. President, you have also acknowledged that China and the United States have areas of disagreement. In the world today China is the largest developing nation and the United States is the largest developed nation. For these two nations to have areas of agreements and disagreements,
how should they develop their relationship?）
B. In every relationship, in every business partnership, in every enterprise you have agreements and disagreements. So what we have to do is we identify both agreements and disagreements here and then keep working to try to bridge the gap. Our major differences are in trade and in the human rights area. But if you back up three years ago a lot of differences, most of them have been eliminated.
(在任何一种关系中，无论是商业合作，家庭关系，抑或任何企业中，都会有公示和分歧。

因此我们要做的就是在这里承认公示和分歧，不断努力跨越分歧。

我们之间主要的不同在商业和人权领域。

但如果回到三年前，就会发现我们已经取得了重大进步。

如果回到五年前，就会发现那时的许多分歧现在大部分都已消除了。

)
A. 在过去五年我们看到彼此关系大大进步了。

（And we have witnessed a lot of progress in this relationship in the last five years.）
B. Yes. And I would say to the people of china and the people of the United States, the world is not too small for two big countries, it is a small world and we have no way to change it. That should make us both more responsible—with a greater sense of responsibility for our own people, for our partnership with each other and for the rest of the world as well.
(是的。

我想对中国人民和美国人民说，世界对两个大国而言并不狭小。

的确世界并不广阔，我们无法改变这个事实。

而这更应使我们富有责任心—对我们的人民，对彼此的合作关系，对全世界都有着更强的责任心。

)
A. 非常感谢您给我们这个机会和您面对面促膝交谈。

非常感谢。

（Thank you very much for giving us this opportunity to sit together with you face to face. Thank you very much.）
B. Thank you. (谢谢。
