有稿同传预习稿

以下两篇为下周口译课上，有稿同传专题所要用到的材料，给大家的家庭作业，是将标黄部分翻译并写在作业本上，作业需要上交。

大家不仅要翻译好标黄部分，并且要把稿件通读多遍，并做视译或找partner做交传，以使自己上课时可以秒杀全场。下次坐在厢子里的，会是你吗？

The Americans

Americans are a peculiar people. They work like mad, then give away much of what they earn. They play until they are exhausted, and call this a vacation. They love to think of themselves as tough-minded business men, yet they are push-overs for any hard luck story. They have the biggest of nearly everything including government, motor cars and debts, yet they are afraid of bigness. They are always trying to chip away at big government, big business, big unions, big influence. They like to think of themselves as little people, average men, and they would like to cut everything down to their size. Yet they boast of their tall buildings, high mountains, long rivers, big state, the best country, the best world, the best heaven. They also have the most traffic deaths, the most waste, the most racketeering. //

When they meet, they are always telling each other, "Take it easy," then they rush off like crazy in opposite directions. They play games as if they were fighting a war, and fight wars as if playing a game. They marry more, go broke more often, and make more money than any other people. They love children, animals, gadgets, mother, work, excitement, noise, nature, television shows, comedy, installment buying, fast motion, spectator sports, the underdog, the flag, Christmas, jazz, shapely women and muscular men, classical recordings, crowds, comics, cigarettes, warm houses in winter and cool ones in summer, thick beefsteaks, coffee, ice cream, informal dress, plenty of running water, do-it-yourself, and a work week trimmed to forty hours or less. //

They crowd their highways with cars while complaining about the traffic, flock to movies and television while grumbling about the quality and the commercials, go to church but don't care much for sermons, and drink too much in the hope of relaxing －only to find themselves stimulated to even bigger dreams.

There is of course, no typical American. But if you added them all together and then divided by 226 000 000 they would look something like what this chapter has tried to portray.

中国与新西兰的经贸合作

尊敬的总统阁下，贵宾们，女士们、先生们：

我很高兴能与大家欢聚一堂。我想借此机会，对戴维斯总统的友好接待和盛情款待致以衷心的感谢！戴维斯总统和我已经就我们两国间的经济和政治关系问题进行了广泛的讨论，并取得了令人满意的结果。此外，我们还就其他重大国际问题深度交换了意见。

总统先生和我达成一个非常重要的共识：在21世纪，我们两个国家应该共同努力，建立全面合作关系，以取得互利的结果。这也意味着我们应该在政治、经济、文化、及其他主要国际问题上进行磋商和对话。很高兴与总统的讨论友好而富有成效。

谈到为取得互利结果而进行的全面合作，具体而言，我认为有三个方面。首先，我们双方应该加强政府领导人之间的互访和讨论。我曾在我们讨论中建议，要增加两国间高级官员的互访。其次，两国应该携起手来，促进各个领域的经济合作。目前最重要的就要加快双方之间自由贸易区的建立协商过程。再次，我们两国还要共同加强在科学、技术、文化、体育、旅游及其他领域内的合作。

戴维斯总统曾讲过，中国的发展有利于中国，也有利于世界。这体现了他对中国发展的理解与支持。中国的对外政策是开放的。中国不会以意识形态来划分界线，也不会与任何国家结盟。我们愿意两只其他所有国家一起和平地生活在这个星球上。我相信，经过双方的共同努力，我们之间的全面合作关系必将取得丰硕成果！
