15第三版中级口译梅德明版本doc文档
睡眠与梦显然我们都是需要睡眠。
大多数人很少考虑他们是如何睡眠的,也很少考虑他们为什么需睡眠。
我们知道,如果睡的好,我们就会感到有了充分的休息;如果睡眠不充足,我们常会感到疲倦和烦躁。
看来睡眠有两个目的:一是为了得到精神上的休息(或者叫心里休息)。
我们需要让自己的身体和大脑都得到休息。
每天晚上我们有两种交替出现的方式睡眠,即积极睡眠和消极睡眠。
消极睡眠给我们身体以所需要的休息,并让我们向积极睡眠过渡。
人们在积极睡眠时会做梦。
消极睡眠时我们的身体处于一种安宁的状态,我们心脏的跳动减缓,我们人体机能的运行变得非常缓慢。
我们身体很少移动,大脑几乎处于静止状态。
这一阶段的睡眠叫做慢波睡眠,因为这时脑电波处于一种非常缓慢而又节奏的波动状态。
如果我们继续睡眠,我们便会进入一个比较积极的睡眠阶段,这时人体会经历几种变化。
在这个睡眠新阶段,大脑温度会上升,大脑血液流量会增加,人体会变得几乎纹丝不动,而大脑则由静止不动转为活动状态。
随着大脑活动变得较为积极,人的眼球开始快速运动起来。
人的眼球运动表明了我们正在做梦。
整个晚上我们始终处于消极睡眠和积极睡眠两种状态相互交替的过程。
大脑保持静止,然后积极活动起来,然后我们开始做梦。
这一过程会一夜循环出现好几次。
在8小时的睡眠过程中,我们做梦的总时间平均为1个半小时。
人人都会经历这些做梦的过程,无一人例外。
许多人说自己不做梦,或者很少做梦。
而实际情况并非如同他们所说的那样,因为每个人都会做梦,事实上人人都需要通过做梦来保持身心健康。
实际情况是我们需要两种睡眠:我们需要消极睡眠以休息身体,我们还需要积极睡眠以进入梦乡,而做梦有助于我们的大脑得到休息。
音响今昔有史记载以来,人类一直痴迷于音乐,为音乐所陶醉。
用作笛子的骨哨早已出现在公元前5000年。
从石器时代的画中我们可以见到早期乐器的模样。
现代人进一步发展了对音乐的兴趣,十分钟情于用声音复制设备来录制的方式。
被誉为录音之父的托马斯爱迪生生于1877年发明了留声机,这是世界上第一台录音设备。

And then choose the correct answer to each question you hear.I arrived in the United States on February 6th, 2006. But I remember my first day here very clearly. My friend was waiting for me when my plane landed at Kennedy Airport at 3 o’clock in the afternoon. The weather was very cold and it was snowing. But I was too excited to mind. From the airport my friend and I took a taxi to my hotel. On the way I saw the skyline of Manhattan for the first time, and I stared in astonishment at the famous skyscrapers and neon made them beauty. My friend helped unpacked at the hotel and then left me because he had to go back to work. He promised to return the next day. Shortly after my friend had left I went to a restaurant near the hotel to get something to eat. Because I couldn’t spea k a word of English I couldn’t tell the waiter what I wanted. I was very upset and started to make some gestures. But the waiter didn’t understand me. Finally I ordered the same thing the man at the next table was eating. After dinner I started to walk along Broad Way until I came to Time Square, with its movie theatres, neon lights, and huge crowds of people. I did not feel tired so I continue to walk around the city. I wanted to see everything on my first day. I knew it was impossible but I wanted to try. When I returned to the hotel I was exhausted. But I couldn’t sleep because I kept hearing the fire and police sirens during the night.I lay awak e and thought about New York. It was a very big and interesting city with many tall buildings and big cars, and full ofnoise and busy people.

Let’s hold off till tomorrow.4. It’s going to take 2 weeks to get all the data I need from my research project which is not due to the end of the next semester.5. Although she is supposed to be at work by 8:30, Janeusually turns up 45 minutes late. The manager wants to talk to her about that.6.

A man is narrating his experience in London. Listen and then choose the best answer to each question you hear.When I was in college I spent a semester studying in London. Even though we speak the same language English people and Americans are very different. I guess I felt that the Americans had a bad reputation. Some people think we allowed, and we speak on minds too much. So I tried to listen a bit more, and not be so assertive if that make sense. I want to make a good impression. I shouldn’t have worried about it, but I did. I love the life style th ere, going out for afternoon tea was fun, and I really love the old buildings. We don’t have anything that all in the United States, so that is pretty amazing. The British also have a different sense of humor. I really like it. Their comedy shows on TV are really funny. I’d have to say my experience was a positive one overall. In fact I am saving up money so I can go back there again.Questions.1) When did the man go to London?2) How long did the man live there?3) Why did the man try to change himself?4) The man mentions that he enjoys several things during his stay in London. Which of the following is not one of those things?2. Staying in a foreign city. A woman is telling us about her stay in a foreign city. Listen and then choose the best answer to each question you hear.I lived in Madrid for a whole year. And I have to be honest to say that at first I wasn’t very happy. You see I was homesick. I missed my family and I just wanted to go home, part of the problem was my Spanish. I couldn’t communicate very well, but I loved to eat. And that’s what really saved me. You see once I discovered tapas, oh, let me explain. These delicious appetizers you eat. So I made some Spanish friends and we would go out to tapas bars. So I got to eat a lot of delicious food and of course my Spanish improved dramatically as well. But there was one thing that was difficult to adjust to. And that was the dinner was always served at a late hour. I wasn’t used to eating at 11 at night.Questions.1) Where did the woman go?2) How long did the woman live there?3) Which of the following partially explains why the woman was so homesick at first?4) What did the woman particularly like?5) According to the woman which was the thing that was difficult to adjust to?3. I came over to the US. A young woman is telling about her first month in the United States. Listen and then choose the best answer to each question you hear.I came over to the US from the Middle East. My familyopened a restaurant here. At first I found it difficult. Everything seemed so different. Just using a pay phone for example, or going to a doctor was different. I was pretty overwhelmed, and I guess because I wasn’t feeling comfortable, I tended to make friends only with people from my country. I felt like I was living in a bubble separated from the Americans. But once I started feeling more confident about my English, I started meeting Americans. I found them very friendly and open, and turned out to be very easy to make friends. But there was one thing about Americans that bothered me at first. I found it hard to get used to the way they talk so much about themselves. It took me a long time to understand you are supposed to talk about yourself too. Because that is how people get to know one another. It is still hard for me to talk a lot about myself. But I am getting better at it.Questions.1) Where did the woman come from?2) What did her family do in the United States?3) How did she like living in the United States at first?4) When did her feelings change about living in the United States?5) Which one of the following things bothered the woman as she just arrived in the United States?Part Four.

Then write it in the space given below.1) It was supposed to be a short meeting, but it lasted 3 hours. We were all exhausted when we stepped out of the conference room.2) The weather forecast says it’s going to be very wet tomorrow. I am afraid we will have to change our plans for the meeting.3) A woman in her late 30s was found taking items from the local market. She was caught on camera as she was putting the items in her pocket.4) Pollution exposure at home work is often greater than outdoors. Indoor air pollutant levels are around 35 percent greater than outside levels, and can pose serious health problems.5) An exhibition of some 117 Cezanne paintings opened on Friday, showing off the works of the man deemed the father of the modern art, a bridge between the impressionist and cubist movements.2. Passage translation. Listen and translate each passage you have heard into Chinese. Then write it in the space given below.

Q: 您好,杰克逊先生。
您在中国己连续工作了三年,您能否谈一下中美两国生意人在商务沟通方式上有何不同之处? Hi, Mr. Jackson. You have been working in China for three years. Can you tell us how you feel about the differences in business communication style between Chinese and American businessmen? A: With pleasure. 1 think there are at least two differences in the way of business communication between Chinese and American businesspeople. First, Chinese businessmen tendto have business negotiations in a rather indirect manner, as opposed(与…相反) to the more direct manner of American businesspeople. The Chinese take time to learn if their prospective(预期的) business contacts are really reliable, 中国人会花费时间来了解他们将要与之打交道的商人是否靠得住,for example, by inviting them to a party and socializing((与…)交往,联谊)with them. In contrast, Americans usually act with the "get down-to-business-first" mentality. Second, the decision making process of Chinese companies is generally slow and time-consuming. This is because most Chinese companies keep to the "bottom-up, then top-down and then bottom-up" decision-making principle(原则) which involves many people at different levels. 各个层次上的许多人士都介人决策过程American companies, on the other hand, usually operate withquick decisions made by the top management. 1 hope American businesspeople in China will understand these differences in business practices and adjust to the Chinese way.Q: 美国式的经营之道在我们中国人看来往往显得咄咄逼人。

上外中级口译第三版听力教程原文及讲解--Unit 1
中级口译听力教程第三版1AAn intermediate course of English listening Third editionUnit one. Part one. Shopping over the internet.3. Exercises.1. Listen to a passage about a new mode of shopping, and then choose the correct answer to each question you hear.In 2005 consumers could purchase virtually anything over the internet, books, compact discs, and even stocks were available from World Wide Web sites that seem to spring up almost daily. A few years earlier some people had predicted that consumers accustomed to shopping in stores would be reluctant to buy things that they could not see or touch in person. For growing number of time starved consumers however, shopping from their home computer was proving to be a convenient alternative to driving to the store. A research estimated that in 2008 US consumers would purchase 7.3 billion dollars of goods over the internet, double the 2006 total. Finding a bargain was getting easier owing to the rise of online auctions, and websites that did comparison shopping on the internet for the best deal. For all the consumer interest, retailing in cyber space was still a largely unprofitable business however. Internet pioneer which began selling books in 1995 and later branched into recorded music and videos posted revenue of 153.7 million dollars, in the third quarter of this year, up from 37.9 million dollars in the same period of 2002. Overall howe ver, the company’s loss widened to 45.2 million dollars from 9.6 million dollars. An analyst did not expect the company to turn a profit until 2006. Despite the great loss, has a stock market value of many billions, reflecting investors’ optimism of other future industry. Internet retailing appeal to investors because it provided an efficient means of reaching millions of consumers without having the cost of operating conventional stores with their armies of sales people. Selling online carries its own risks however. With so many companies competing for consumers’ attention price competition was intense and profit margins thin or non-existent. One video retailer sold the hit movie Titanic for 9 dollars and 99 cents. Under cutting the 19 dollars and 99 cents suggest it retail price and losing about 6 dollars on each copy sold. With internet retailing still in its initial stage companies seem willing to absorb such losses in an attempt to establish a dominate market position.Questions.1). The passage gives examples to show that almost anything could be purchased on the internet. Which of the following is not one of those examples?2). What had some people predicted a few years earlier customers would like to do?3). How much worth of goods would US consumers buy in 2008 according to a research estimate?4). Which of the following statements is true about retailing in cyberspace?5). Which of the following factors explains the risks of selling online?2. Listen again and then supply the missing information in the following passage. Part 2. Statements. 2. Exercises. Listen and then choose the answer which is the closest in meaning to each statement you hear.1. Mr. Blown and Mr. White are old friends.

Listen to the conversation which takes place in a store and then choose the correct answer to each question you hear.M: May I help you?W: Yes. I want to buy some shoes to replace the ones I am wearing.M: What’s wrong with them?W: They are too old and shabby.M: I can see they have simply been worn out. Would you like the same color more or less?W: Yes, and something a little less casual.M: How about this light brown pair. They are similar to what you have, but a little bit dressier.W: Yes, I was thinking of something along that line. I will try them on.M: They certainly look charming.W: The trouble is they feel uncomfortable.M: Then try on this other pair in a similar style but by a different manufacturer. W: These are much better. Do you have them in red?M: Yes. Would you like both pairs?W: Yes, if they won’t cost too much.M: Oh, no, they won’t. The second pair is of half price.

Why did the woman’s shoes look shabby?3). What was wrong with the first pair of shoes the woman tried on?4). How many pairs of shoes did the woman buy?5). Which shoes did the woman wear home?2. The design of shopping malls.Listen to the following passage about the shopping malls. And then supply the missing information in the spaces provided.The shopping mall has designed for only one thing, encouraging people to buy, buy, buy. How do they do this? Well, it is something of an art, an art that has been brought to perfection in the 50 years since malls first started appearing in America. Every aspect of mall design is carefully calculated to appeal to the customers’ psychological needs. This starts with the over all environment. Tests have shown that people feel most relaxed and comfortable at a temperature of 24 to 26 degrees. So this is the air temperature of most malls. If it is any hotter, people may become too lazy to walk, any cooler, they may rush around and leave before they have spent enough money. The choice of color is also very important. Dark colors like orange or purple can make people feel irritable or unhappy.With such feelings they are not likely to do much shopping. Therefore very dark colors are almost never used in malls. Instead walls are usually painted in light colors which make customers feel relaxed and give the mall a spacious feeling. The arrangement of space in the mall is also done with great care. Research shows that most people are unwilling to walk more than 200 meters to shop. In one of the new giant malls this could be a problem. There are 2 ways to deal with the problem. The walk ways in malls can be made curved or angled to hide their true length, or they can be broken up by fountains, up displace, or any of those other things that you thought were just there to entertain you. The arrangement of the stores in the mall is relatively easy. The big department stores are the major attractions that encourage people to come to the mall. These should be kept well apart. Stores selling the same items should also be kept far apart, so that anyone who is comparing prices has to go passed as many other stores as possible. After all up to 60 percent of all items bought in malls are purchased on impulse.3. SOHO, small offices, home offices.Listen to the following passage about SOHO. And then supply the missing information in the passage.Today researchers and marketers have identified a segment that is now labeled SOHO. It means small offices home offices, whether they are high-tech startups or women selling Marry Cay. But they drive America’s economic growth and have created most of the new jobs in the last 20 years. Three percent of companies accounted for 6 million of the 7.7 million jobs that were added to the economy between 2001 and 2005. Small businesses represent over 90 percent of all businesses in the US, within economic output greater than Germany or France or the UK. Reportedly home based workers earn more money. The 46 million home based workers in the United States including a large number of women working at home in an attempt to better balance work in family earn 28 percent more than the average office worker, and spend less time making their pay. Of course this could be due in part to the fact that more experienced and aggressive workers tend to start their own businesses. Remember going into business on your own or from a home office may mean making due with less. But it can also mean achieving more, more independence, more challenges, more results. In the long run, it may mean more money for you and your family. In a word doing it on your own means freedom to grow, experiment, and learn. If you are successful you won’t have to go ask for raise or accept what you are given, or worry about being turned out to passed year when a younger version of yourself comes along. You will have the freedom to enjoy the profits of your own work and the continuing growth in profit which comes from owning your business.Part 4. Listening and translation.3. Exercises.1. Sentences translation. Listen and translate each sentence you have heard into Chinese. Then write it in the space given below.1) May I introduce myself? I am John Smith from the United States. I am a salesmanager of the Johnson company. I am responsible for the European division. 2) There was a heavy fog in London the whole morning, and we were delayed there. We stayed in the airport for 3 full hours.3) Soon after he started working as a sales representative he discovered that it was far hard of work than he had expected.4) The Shanghai EXPO will draw 70 million visitors and average of 400,000 a day. It will be the first time for the 157 year old event to be held in a developing country.5) The Louvre Museum opened the department of Islamic art in 2003. But the existing gallery can display only a fi fth of the Louvre’s 10,000 pieces of art from the Muslim world.2. Passage translation. Listen and translate each passage you have heard into Chinese. Then write it in the space given below. You may take notes while you are listening.1) The market is a concept. If you are growing tomatoes in your backyard for sale you are producing for the market. You might sell some to your neighbor and some to the manager of the local supermarket. But in either case you are producing for the market. Your efforts are being directed by the market. If people stop buying tomatoes you will stop producing them.2) The world EXPO is a large scale, global, noncommercial EXPO. The hosting of the world EXPO must be applied for by a country and approved by the bureau of International Exhibitions. EXPO aims to promote the exchange of ideas and development of the world economy, culture, science, and technology, to allow exhibitors to publicize and display their achievements, and improve international relationships.

Unit 1【例1】The history of a tree from the time it starts in the forest until the boards which it yields are used, would form an interesting and, in many instances, an exciting story.(“×”号表示译文有问题,下同)×树的历史开始于森林中,直到生产为木板后被使用为止,成为一个有趣且有许多事例的激动人心的故事。
上面这句话的原文实际上主要说了两点内容:1、树的历史的起迄时间2、树的历史是怎样一回事【译文】一棵树,从它在森林中生长起直到被制成木板使用为止,这段历史会构成一个饶有趣味的故事,在很多情况下这个故事十分激动人心。
例2】There are two regulatory systems which interact. One timing system comes from the evidence of our senses and stomachs, and the periodicity we experience when living in a particular time zone.×有两个调节系统相互作用。
一个定时系统来自于我们的感官和胃的证明,就是当我们生活在一个特定的时区所经历的周期性。
【译文】人体有两个相互作用的时间调节系统。
一个时间调节系统依据感官和胃发出的信息,依据我们生活在某个时区所体验的周期性规律。
寻找对等词语和结构然后将其串接成句的翻译方法,常表现如下:1、简单语句的译文虽然生硬,但基本可读。
如:【例3】I can see three different 无效s of composers in musical history, each of whom creates music in a somewhat different fashion.×我能看到音乐史上有三种不同的作曲家,他们中每一个人以某种不同的方式创作音乐。
《中级口译教程》(第三版)使用指南
《中级口译教程》(第三版)使用指南《中级口译教程》(第三版)终于问世拉! 第三版教材和第二版教材相比,不仅价格翻了一番,内容也增加了近四分之一,由原先第二版的十四个单元增加到现在的十六个单元; 第三版教材中增加了第一单元“口译技巧”和第二单元“接待口译”。
原先第二版里的十四个单元都保留,但内容有明显调整,替换了十一篇文章。
其中,教育类的话题增加了两篇,“8-3教育之本”和“9-3大学精神”;关于城市建设的话题也增加了两篇“7-1绿色城市”和“9-1强市之路”,文化类增加了一篇“3-4文化差异”,商务类增加一篇“14-1双边经贸”,科普类增加了“16-2进化本质”,访谈类增加了“4-4音乐天才”。
另外,请同学们注意“6-3开幕祝词”,“6-4展望未来”,“10-2环境保护”虽然名字相同,但内容已经替换。
从这些新增的篇目看,第三版是与时俱进的。
此外,即使是保留的篇目,也做了些修改。
例如,“8-2传统节日”在原文的基础上增加了四段,“8-4出版王者”增加了两段,“10-1第二文化”增加了四段,“10-3迎接调整”新增五段,“10-4习武健身”增加了对武术的介绍,“12-4社区服务”增加了对我国目前社会保障事业状况的介绍,“13-1企业文化”增加了对企业文化的介绍。
篇幅的增加意味着难度的增加,同学们要有思想准备拉!第三版最后提供的模拟考试由原来的六套增加到十六套,希望大家好好利用,其中有几道就是真题。
在使用第三版书的时候,建议同学们遵循以下练习流程:1)完成书上的词汇预习部分,这部分是口译的“热身”,同学们最好利用权威的工具书先把词汇部分翻译出来,如果直接在原文中找,时间是节省了,可是你也失去了自己动手动脑的机会,往往看了答案,第二天就忘记了。
记住一句话:No pains, no gains. 轻易得来的东西,也很容易失去。
2)拿出课文的配套录音,边听,边在准备好的白纸上记笔记。
大约每听完两句话按一下pause。
