2001年9月考题By the middle of this century, some two thirds of the worlds nation, with at least five billion people, will enjoy a standard of living, which only the advanced economies now have. Some three billion of these people will live in Asia. Collectively, the Asian Countries will have a larger economy than the rest of the world put togethe匸The rest of the world will have to react to this millennial economic shift to Asia, and to the rising power of China. The rest of the world will be divided between the Euro-American countries, and the two big peripheral powers, Japan and Russia. Russia is a huge geographical country, with well educated people, and will eventually recover.In terms of nations, it will be a world of much greater economic equality. Although there will still be poor countries, most will be quite rich. Inside these nations there will be mass prosperity, but with a large minority in serious poverty, and a small number who are very rich.2002年3月考题Foundations are tax-free institutions that are created to give grants to both individuals and nonprofit organizations for activities that range from education, research, and the arts to support for the poor and the upkeep of exotic gardens and old mansions. They provide a means by which wealthy people and corporations can in effect decide how their tax payments will be spent, for they are based on money that otherwise would go to the government in taxes. From a small beginning at the turn of the century they have become a very important factor in shaping developments in higher education and the arts.Think tanks and university research institutes are nonprofit organizations that have been developed to provide settings for experts in various academic disciplines- In this way, they may devote their time to the study of policy alternatives free from the teaching and departmental duties that are part of the daily routine for most members of the academic community. Supported by foundation grants and government contracts, they are a majorsource of the new ideas that are discussed in the policy・formation groups.2006年3月英语中级口译真题As a scourge of the modern society, obesity has become the world's biggest public-health issue today—the main cause of heart disease, which kills more people these days than AIDS, malaria, war. Si nce the World Health Organization labeled obesity an "epidemic” in 2000, reports on its fearful consequences have come thick and Fast.Will public-health warnings, combined with media pressure, persuade people to get thinner, just as they finally put them off tobacco? Possibly. In the rich world, sales of healthier foods are booming and new figures suggest that over the past year Americans got very slightly thinner for the first time in recorded history. But even if Americans are losing a few ounces, it will be many years before the country solves the health problems caused by half a century's dining to excess. And, everywhere else in the world, people are still piling on the pounds. That's why there is now a consensus among doctors that governments should do something to stop them.2008年3月英语中级口译真题Imagine you have two candidates for a job. Their CVs are equally good, and they both give good interview. You cannot help noticing, though, that one is pug-ugly and the other is handsome. Are you swayed by their appearance?If you were swayed by someone's looks, would that be wrong? In the past, people often equated beauty with virtue and ugliness with vice.Even now, the expression "as ugly as sin" has not quite passed from the language. There is, of course, the equally famous expression u beauty is in the eye of the beholderto counter it. Most beholders agree what is beautiful-and modern biology suggests there is a good reason for that agreement. Biology also suggests that beauty may, indeed, be a good rule of thumb for assessing someone of either sex. Not an infallible one, andcertainly no substitute for an in-depth investigation. But, nevertheless, an instinctive one, and one that is bound to contribute to the advantage of the physically well endowed.2008年9月英语中级口译真题In a slowing US economy, job opportunities are shaped by uncertainty. As president of a small college, I am keenly aware of the job market that awaits this yearns graduates. The recent news that Bear Stearns was nullifying a few hundred job offers to business school students fits a pattern of corporate downsizing that isrft lost on college campuses across the USA. But even with the darkening economic clouds, rays of good news await this yearns graduates. Sure, companies are laying off workers, but many are also looking for new talent, especially at the entry level.As more than a million entrants flood the job market, students should know that in a global marketplace, language skills will go a long way. So will flexibility. If a grad is ready to accept an entry-level job, give a little on job requirements and move if the company asks, chances are he'll land a job. So despite the rising job losses, a new graduate should embrace the market as the first challenge of a long career.2000年3月英语中级口译真题Information and communications are central to modern society and organizations. One approach to understand the working environment is to consider an organization as a communications system. An organization that has open lines of communication with valid, honest information going up, down, and throughout the organization will be much more effective and a much better place to work than the organization that attempts to restrict the flow of information or distort and deceive. When leadership attempts to keep workers in the dark, workers tend to become distrustful. This undermines their cooperation.It is easy to understand the value and importance of open, honest communications and valid information. Yet, few organizations are able to function in this manner. In the longrun, poor communication will undermine the entire organization. Restricting communication and distorting information are symptoms of short-range thinking. We must avoid these stupid, short-sighted traps and constantly strive for and open communications system with objective information.参考答案：信息和交流对现代社会和机构是非常重要的。

中级口译历年真题--翻译篇2012年春季（3月）英译汉原文：When I was young, there was an amazing publication called The Whole Earth Catalog, which was one of the bibles of my generation. It was created by a fellow named Stewart Brand not far from here in Menlo Park, and he brought it to life with his poetic touch. This was in the late 1960′s, before personal computers and desktop publishing, so it was all made with typewriters, scissors, and Polaroid cameras. It was sort of like Google in paperback form, 35 years before Google came along: it was idealistic, and overflowing with neat tools and great notions.Stewart and his team put out several issues of The Whole Earth Catalog, and then when it had run its course, they put out a final issue. It was the mid-1970s, and I was your age. On the back cover of their final issue was a photograph of an early morning country road, the kind you might find yourself hitchhiking on if you were so adventurous. Beneath it we re the words: “Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.” It was their farewell message as they signed off. Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish. And I have always wished that for myself. And now, as you graduate to begin anew, I wish that for you. 英译汉参考译文：我年轻的时候，有本非常好的杂志《全球目录》，这是我们那代人的“圣经”之一。

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.。

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。

And too often, by the tough decisions we avoid. Most of us have avoided even thinking about how our rapidly growingpopulation is affecting our quality of life and shaping our society.Our population has more than doubled since World War II, and at this rate, we could be on our way to 1 billion people living in the United States by the end of the century. Our population growth, driven in part by unchecked immigration, is already straining our healthcare and educational systems and, less noticeably —but far more important —putting a heavy burden on our natural resources.All these pressures on our resources will only worsen unless our leaders begin a national dialogue on the future of this country and start making the tough choices. Politicians are avoiding debate on these issues because they are the most difficult ones to confront. In campaign debating, these are wedge issues. 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）。

英语中级口译翻译真题(英译汉)Why We Must Fire Bad TeachersThe relative decline of American education at the elementary- and high-school levels has long been a national embarrassment as well as a threat to the nation’s future. Once upon a time, American students tested better than any other students in the world. Now, ranked against European schoolchildren, America does about as well as Lithuania, behind at least 10 other nations.For much of this time—roughly the last half century—professional educators believed that if they could only find the right pedagogy, the right method of instruction, all would be well. They tried New Math, open classrooms, Whole Language—but nothing seemed to achieve significant or lasting improvements.Yet in recent years researchers have discovered something that may seem obvious, but for many reasons was overlooked or denied. What really makes a difference, what matters more than the class size or the textbook, the teaching method or the technology, or even the curriculum, is the quality of the teacher. Much of the ability to teach is innate—an ability to inspire young minds as well as control unruly classrooms that some people instinctively possess (and some people definitely do not). Teaching can be taught, to some degree, but not the way many graduate schools of education do it, with a lot of insipid or marginally relevant theorizing and pedagogy. In any case the research shows that within about five years, you can generally tell who is a good teacher and who is not.。

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。

全国翻译证书考试试题(中级口译)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 as much 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 challenges our 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 often non-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. We keep weapons out of the hands of terrorists. We protect small business. And we safeguard the human dignity of women and children trafficked into forced labor and prostitution. When we stop criminals from enjoying the of their illicit activity, we serve the cause of freedom and justice. For law enforcement, there is no higher calling.// Part 2 Chinese into English信息革命当前，以信息技术为代表的高新技术发展日新月异，信息技术与信息产业正在有力地推动着经济全球化的进程，并由此产生了新的经济模式，催生了一些新的产业，加速了世界性的产业结构、的产品结构的调整，对全球社会经济活动产生了难以估量的影响。

Spot Dictation In 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? Next time 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。

2009 年春中口翻译部分【E—C】In a normal recession, the to-do list is clear. Copies of Keynes are dusted off, the banks lower interest rates, the president and Congress cut taxes and hike spending. In time, purchasing, production and loans perk up, and Keynes is placed back on the shelf. No larger alterations to the economy are made, because our economy, but for the occasional bump in the road, is fundamentally sound. This has been the drill in every recession since World War II.Republicans and Democrats argue over whose taxes should be cut the most and which projects should be funded, but under public pressure to do something, they usually find some mutually acceptable midpoint and enact a stimulus package. This time, though, don't expect that to be the end of the s tory -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- because the coming recession will not be normal, and our economy is not fundamentally sound. This time around, the nation will have to craft new versions of some of the reforms that Franklin Roosevelt created to steer the nation out of the Great Depression.【译文】：若只是寻常的经济萧条，那应对方案一目了然：翻出久违的凯恩斯著作，联邦政府降低利率，总统及国会一面减税，一面增加财政支出。
假以时日，购买力激升，生产力急速飞涨，贷款数随之猛增。
凯恩斯的作品重获关注。
美国的经济并非一帆风顺，但总的来说还不错，并不需要对经济体制做出大刀阔斧的改革。
所以第二次世界大战之后，我们一直照此方案应对经济危机。
政府应为哪些阶层多减税，为哪些项目提供资助，这些是共和党和民主党长期争论的话题。
公众要求他们付诸于行动的舆论压力下，政府往往实施双方都可接受的折衷方案，达到推动经济进步的目的。
即使到了党派分歧严重的今时今日，政府仍希望找到此种方案。
然而这次的萧条非比平常，所以事情就不那么简单。
从本质上说，我们的经济确有弊端。
因此要动用一些富兰克林•罗斯福当年的改革措施，还需做到与时俱进。
才能力挽狂澜、扭转乾坤，最终拨得云开见日出。
【解析】：1、In a normal recession, the to-do list is clear. 译：在平常，经济状况一旦萧条下来，大家都就很明白应该马上着手做哪些事情：本句中，normal recession 名词性短语，但需要采用词类转换的翻译方法，进行扩展翻译成一个句子，the to-do list “大家应该做的事情” ，本句主系表结构，字面意思：大家要做的事情是很清楚的。
采用正反翻译的方法，将其翻译为“大家都就很明白应该马上着手做哪些事情：”。
2、Copies of Keynes are dusted off, the Fed lowers interest rates, the president and Congress cuttaxes and hike spending.译：重新翻开尘封已久的凯恩斯的著作，联邦政府调低利息率，总统和国会开始减税，增加财政支出。
本句是接上文，列举出的一系列动作，并列举。
在句中，Copies of Keynes are dusted off ，字面意思为：凯恩斯著作上的灰尘会被拂去。
根据本文的语意表达环境，我们采用意译，翻译为：重新翻开尘封已久的凯恩斯的著作。
3、In time, purchasing, production and loans perk up, and Keynes is placed back on the shelf.译：用不了多久，市场上购销两旺，生产线生机勃勃，贷款扶摇而上，于是乎，凯恩斯的书又回了书架。
本句中，前半句purchasing, production and loans perk up 中，perk vi. 振作; 活跃起来(+up) ，在英语中“ perkup ”可以用于形容以上三个主语，而在汉语中有不同搭配，所以对本句，翻译成三个小分句“市场上购销两旺，生产线生机勃勃，贷款扶摇而上”会更好一点。
对于" Keynes is placed back on the shelf ”中，“ Keynes” 需要翻译为：凯恩斯的著作。
该句子翻译为：凯恩斯的著作又会被放回到书架上。
【C—E】钟表上的秒针一下一下地移动，每移动一下就是表示我们的寿命已经缩短了一部分。
再看看墙上挂着的可以一张张撕下的日历，每天撕下一张就是表示我们的寿命又缩短了一天。
因为时间即生命。
没有人不爱惜他的生命，但很少人珍视他的时间。
如果想在有生之年做一点什么事，学一点什么学问，充实自己，帮助别人，使生命成为有意义，不虚此生，那么就不可浪费光阴。
这个道理人人都懂，可是很少人能积极不懈地善为利用他的时间。
【译文】：Our life is shortened by every tick of the second hand of the clock. Each page peeled away from thewall calendar marks a bygone day. Time is life, while life is cherished by everybody, but time, by few. How can we achieve something in our brief life To learn some knowledge! To replenish ourselves! To help those in need! To add significance to our life! Time should not be squandered if we want to make our life meaningful (to get a lot out of our life). This principle is accepted by all, but wisely observed by very few.2009 秋季翻译部分【E—C】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 Biogr aphy or documentary, these are 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 hasa 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.小说是什么我认为是人们创造出来的故事。
同时尽管是创造出来的故事，但是小说仍然有一种力量能够让人听上去感觉像真的一样。
真的像什么呢就像读者所知道的那种生活或者可能的生活样子，像他们所感觉的那种生活。
当然我指的是对于成熟的成年读者而言。
像我们这样的成年读者已经足够长大，不再相信童话故事，不再需要奇异幻想和那些不可能发生的事情。
所以我对你说，小说必须要成熟起来，能够让成年人将之放在生活中试验。
你或许会说：“如果一个人需要事实，他为什么不去看完完全全真实的书呢自传或者纪录片里都是些令人惊异的真人真事的描述。
