219 丝绸之路欢迎各位参加丝绸之路游。
我相信为期两周的游览将成为您一生中最难忘的经历之一。
丝绸之路的历史可以追溯到公元前二世纪,当时一名中国官员、朝廷的是这张骞沿着这条连接亚欧两大洲的贸易通道出使西域。
这条通道源于长安城,即今日的西安,一路穿越陕西省、甘肃省境内的河西走廊、新疆的塔里木盆地、帕米尔山区、阿富汗、伊朗、伊拉克以及叙利亚,最后抵达地中海东岸,全程7千公里,其中4千多公里的路段位于中国境内。
15世纪前的一千多年里,中国通过这条通道给西域各国带去了丝绸织物、火药、造纸术和印刷术。
同时,这条通道也从国外给我们引进了佛教、伊斯兰教,以及葡萄、核桃、石榴、黄瓜、玻璃、香水等产品。
因为中国丝绸是沿着这条道进入西方国家的,所以欧洲学者将此道称作丝绸之路。
丝绸之路沿途的大批历史文物、引人入胜的自然风景以及富有情趣的地方文化,使这一长途游成了世界上最精彩的旅游项目之一。
在丝绸之路的中国段,沿线散居着许多少数民族,他们对来自世界各地的游客都以礼相待,热情好客。
这里的事物和工艺品不同于中国中部的食物和工艺品。
治理的民间传说,如同天方夜谭一般神奇,听来有一番情趣。
我社安排的丝绸之路游,始于西安古城,止于新疆首府乌鲁木齐,其间我们还要游览兰州、敦煌以及吐鲁番。
沿线您可以领略自然景观的魅力,欣赏古代艺术家高超的工艺,品尝地方风味小吃,解释当地居民。
这次游览一定会给您留下可与家人和朋友共享的美好回忆。
传统节日我很高兴有机会向各位介绍中国的主要传统节日,尤其是介绍中国最重要的传统节日——春节。
同世界其他地区一样,节日在中国是人们勤于烹调、饱享口福的时候。
菜市场鱼肉满架,购物和烹调成了人们的主要活动。
但是节庆膳食除了在数量和质量上与平日不同之外,一些历史悠久、具有象征意义的特色食物也是节日必不可少的伴侣。
例如农历5月5日的端午节,人们过端午节是为了纪念碑昏官贬官放逐而抱石投江自尽的古代诗人和忠臣屈原。
最初人们将以芦苇叶包扎好的糯米粽子投入屈原自尽的那条江,以祭祀亡灵。

Growth in owner occupation has been particularly marked increasing from 50 percent in 1991 to 67 percent at the end of 2006. Both the public and the private sectors build housing, but about four fifths in new dwellings are built by the private sector for sale to owner occupiers. Local authorities are encouraged to see their housing role as in the neighboring one. Working with housing associations and the private sector to increase the supply of low cost housing for sale or rent. Without necessarily providing it themselves. Housing associations are now the main providers of new social housing. Housing provided at rents affordable to people on low incomes, usually substantially below market rents. This allows local authorities to focus on improving the management of their own stock. Rents on new private sector lettings in Great Britain were deregulated in 1988 with the aim of stimulating the private rented sector, which had been declining from most of the last century. These policies had been taking forward with the housing act in 1996.Questions:1) How many new dwellings were completed in Great Britain in 2006?2) What percentage was owner occupation at the end of 2006?3) What are local authorities encouraged to do?4) Why were rents on new private sector lettings deregulated in 1988?2.

Listen to the conversation about an apartment and then choose the correct answer to each question you hear.M: Well, Shirley, now that we’ve seen the 3 apartments, which one do you like best?W: I don’t know Brad. I know one thing. I didn’t like the one on the 68th street.M: Neither did I. Let’s cross that one off. That leaves the 72ed street one and the 80th street one.W: The one on the 80th street has a better view and a very cheerful kitchen.M: Yes, and I like the carpeting in the hall. It was clean, but there was no good place to put a desk.W: That’s true. You should always just put it in the corner of the living room. But then you wouldn’t have any privacy and the bedroom was too small.M: Right. And I do need to be able to leave my work out on the desk without having it looked into by nosy visitors.W: Oh, Brad, we don’t have that kind of visitors. But I do agree the desk shouldn’t be in the living room. It is a constant reminder of unfinished work. What about the 72ed street apartment? It has a dining area, we could eat in the kitchen and put the desk in the dining area. It’s more private there.M: Yes, that sounds OK. Only what I didn’t like about that place was the west wind though. It gets quite hard in the late afternoon with the sun beating down on the window.W: Didn’t you notice the air-conditioner?M: No, was there one?W: Yes, and we can improve on the curtains too.M: That place did have the best parking facilities of the three.W: Yes, I think that apartment is best for our needs.

Does it have 3 bedrooms? Listen to the conversation about renting an apartment and then choose the correct answer to each question you hear.M: This is it. I know that it is smaller than you wanted. But it is one of the nicest departments in the buildings.W: Does it have 3 bedrooms?M: No, there are two. The master bedroom is quite spacious though. Maybe you could let the children share the larger room and you and your husband could use the smaller one.W: I suppose I could do that.M: A 3 bedroom apartment will be difficult to find.W: Yes, I know. Believe me, I have been looking for over a week. The few 3 bedroom apartments that I have found are either extremely expensive or the owner won’t allow children as tenants.M: Well, the owner allows 2 children in this apartment complex.W: Aren’t you the owner?M: No, I am the manager. I live here too on the first floor of this building.W: Oh, that’s nice. Then if anything gets broken …M: Just leave a note on my door.W: You said that the rent will be 350 dollars a month.

Listening and translation. 3. Exercises.1. Sentence translation. Listen and translate each sentence you have heard into Chinese. Then write it in the space given below.1) Overall 8,200 visitors attended the fare this year. This not only equals an increase by 1,200 visitors from last year but is also a new visitor record.2) The wish to guard against dangers to life and property is basic to human nature. By insurance society has been able to reduce the affects of such hazards.3) The price index for exports increased for the fourth consecutive month, advancing 0.7 percent in February, the statistics of the US department of labor reported today.4) There are many sources of indoor air pollution, tobacco smoke, cooking and heating appliances, and vapors from building materials, paints in furniture cause pollution inside buildings.5) Don’t overlook the power of a good first impressio n. People make amazing assumptions about your character and potential performance based upon your appearance during a first meeting.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) I do not think the market is stagnating, rather it is shaping up. Some events are weakening, some are strengthening. Trade fare organizers sometimes must cancel a show that does not have any development potential. On the other hand, new shows can be launched. An example of a newly launched trade show is the one focusing on wooden constructions. That show will take place in March 2008, and it has already attracted a lot of attention.2) I have been most influenced by people who have made a change in society. I really respect those people who have spoken up about what they believe in. I guess John Lennon was kind of my hero. I mean I like the Beatles and I love his music. But John also believed in a lot of issues that I support. I was so shocked when he was killed. I have also been deeply affected by the words of people like Dr. Martin Luther King. He tried to get people to work together, to accept each other, whether they were black, white or whatever.Unit eightPart one New dwellings住处, 住宅in Great BritainIn all一共; 总计all in all 从各方面考虑; 从各方面来说Owner-occupation指房子等)主人自住的,自用Marked adj. 有记号的, 显著的, 醒目的Sector n.部门, 部分, 区域((活动领域的)部门; (尤指)经济领域: the manu`facturing sector, ie all the manufacturing industries of a country 制造业* the `service sector, eg hotels, restaurants, etc 服务性行业.)/战区,防区n.[计]扇形, 扇区vt.使分成部分Owner-occupier n. <英>业主居住者, (住在自家私房的人)Enabling adj. 【律】(用作定语)授予权利的Substantially adv.大体上, 实质上, 非常Letting n. 出租的房产/租金To deregulate撤销对(某事物)的规定﹑管制To stimulate使某人[某事物]奋发起来; 刺激﹑激励某人[某事物]:Housing association 住房协会Part twoTablet碑, 牌, 匾额(尤指固定於墙上作纪念的)./ 药片; 药丸Dosage药物一次或一阶段的)剂量Shrimp矮小的人Thesis dissertation 毕业论文; 学位论文/论题Part threeTo cross off划掉, 勾销cross off accountNosy adj. 好管闲事的, 爱追问的/包打听Half-board n. 半膳宿If you stay at a hotel and have half board, your breakfast and eveningmeal are included in the price of your stay at the hotel, but not your lunch.Rio de Janeiro里约热内卢(巴西Brazil港口城市) 海滩Part fourTo confirm证实, 证明(报告﹑意见等)的正确性; 确认、~sth; ~ sb (as/in sth) 批准(条约﹑任命等); 肯定, 巩固或加强(权力﹑地位等教会)给(某人)施坚信礼(使之成为正式教徒)Confirmed 习惯的,根深蒂固的Reservation保留的座位﹑住处等; (座位﹑住处等的)预订Hazard危险; 有危险的事物; 风险Joho Lennon伦农又译列侬, 英国歌手与歌曲作家1957年他组织的音乐小组后来成为甲壳虫乐队the Beatles made their first record n 1962/separated in 19701.A new visitor record 新的参观者人数记录2.Guard against dangers to life and property 避免生命和财产遭受危险Insurance 保险3.The price index for export 出口价格指数the fourth consecutive month连续第四个月the US Department of Labor 美国劳工部4.indoor air pollution \ tobacco smoke抽烟\cooking and heating appliances烹饪和供暖器具vapors 气味from building materials,paints and furniture 建筑材料,油漆和家具5.make amazing assumptions about your character and potential performance 对你的性格和潜在的表现力作出惊人的判断1.the market isn’t stagnating----rather, it is shaping up 市场没有变得萧条,而是在逐渐成形cancel a show development potential 发展潜能new shows can be launched 推出一个新的展会2.speak up about what they believe in 敢于把自己的信仰说出口believe in a lot of issues that I support 信仰我所支持的一切accept each other 彼此接受对方。

Orange juice is an integral part of a healthy diet. Today the flavor of orange is the world's third favorite flavor next to chocolate and vanilla. As a common kind of fruits, the orange has additional nutritional contents than other citrus fruits.The major nutritional content in oranges is vitamin C. As a whole, the vitamin C content in orange fruits can keep your immune system strong and healthy. Another nutritional content in oranges is calcium. It can ensure strong teeth and bone. Calcium also supports to maintain a healthy blood pressure level. Calcium in oranges also assists for a healthy muscle function.The health benefits of the orange never end here. A daily glass of orange juice can help prevent the recurrence of kidney stones, better that other citrus fruit juices, such as lemonade. The fiber in the orange reduces high cholesterol level in the body. The natural food sugar, fructose in the orange controls the rising blood sugar levels after a meal. So next time you go to a supermarket or dine in a restaurant, make sure that you buy and have that delicious food as a part of your everyday diet.15. (D What is the main idea of this talk?16.

(D Which of the following assists for a healthy muscle function? Questions19~22W: George, as a university student, you've been here for almost a year. Do you miss your home cooking a lot? Or are you getting used to our English food?M: Oh there are quite a lot of dishes I miss very much indeed. You see in my country we have a much greater variety of dishes, but I must say English food is much better than I thought it was going to be.W: Really, what are your favorite English dishes?M: Well, first of all I think the quality of your food is excellent. Your dairy products are so fresh and your meat is usually so tender. For example, the strawberry yoghurt and pork rib chop. And there is so much to choose from (in the shops.W: Yes, but what English dishes do you particularly like? Or don't you like any of them?M: Well, I'm a little tired of your fishing chips, and roast beef and Yorkshire pudding is only good when properly cooked at home. I don't like the way you cook your vegetables, either. And...W: So you don't really like any of our food, do you?M: Oh, no. I didn't say that.W: Well...M: I'm very fond of the steak and kidney pudding you make. And I like your apple pies. You know, all the home-made stuff.W: It's very nice of you to say so.M: And I think your cooked breakfasts are simply marvelous. Nothing like them where I come from.19. (C What is the man doing at the moment?20. (D What does the man think of the English food?21. (C Which of the following statements is true about the man?22. (A According to the man, why does he like the steak and kidney pudding so much?Questions 23~26More often than not, I've been asked by my students this question: how can I improve my listening skills?Let me first cite a very common instance of poor listening at this school. You don't know how it happened. You know you were paying attention when your history class started. But somewhere along the way your eyes glazed over and the teacher's voice became a dull hum in the background of your mind. When you finally shook yourself out of your trends, he was asking you a question, "So what happened at Hastings in the year of 1066?" Once again, poor listening has you in hot water.As listeners, we tend to think that the responsibility for a successful communication lies with the person doing the talking. This attitude causes us to become passive listeners. We tolerate distractions, putting up with the noise in the hall for instance instead of getting up to shut the door. And we generally fail to reopen to the speaker's messageby asking questions or to remember anything that was said. Effective listeners, on the other hand, play an active role by paying constant attentions, by following the speaker's movement, by taking notes, or by asking questions. Passive listeners are the sponges in the communication sea. Active listeners are their sharks. Good listening is a valuable skill. It is one of the top management skills needed for success in business. Listening is also critical to success in family life and among friends. Good listeners do well in school. They follow directions better and don't waste time wandering what the assignment was. Therefore, becoming an active listener will help you in your relationships with your schoolwork and on the job.23. (D What is the main idea of the talk?24. (A Which of the following is true about the passive listeners? 25. (A According to the talk, how can we reopen to the speaker's message? 26. (C To which of the following does the man compare poor listeners? Questions 27~30W: Recently artist Samuel Cliff and writer Dan Archer took our readers by surprise with their new comment book entitled Tales Up The Forest. With a diverse cast of characters, and a craze story that reflex upon both reality and unreality, Samuel has once again exposed his unique art to a much larger audience. Here in the studio we are happy to have you with us. Samuel, as an artist where have you been, and where are you going?M: Well, I'd like to think that my past as an artist has been an interesting one as far. Stylistically there have been a lot of changes; I started out with a chunky organic brush style, very popular at that time. Back then when I did my first book, My Dollar, I had a feeling that comments would just too precious, and I want my work to be bold. I still enjoy working that way. But since then my Interests have changed. Half way through my "Run on the Little Cat", that's my second series, I move towards a more linear style, which is something I’ve always loved. I've been trying a little variations on things out since then, and now I am trying to push towards a more graphic work. I really loved doing color work.W: I'd say your works have been fairly eclectic in tone and story, do you agree?M: Yeah, eclectic is a good word for it. I try to take on a project that seems interesting to me, I can't imagine working on just one kind of story for the rest of my life.W: You are, em, for lack of a better term, all-inclusive artist, meaning you usually ink your own pencils and keep you own style, can you stand to be influenced by someone else?M: I have been influenced by others in the past, and they've all done an outstanding job. It's the nature of collaboration, isn't it?

中级口译Microsoft Word 文档
1.考试流程中级口译:第一部分3-minute talk这部分要求大家在规定的三分钟内就所给的一个英文题目进行口语表达。
要求做到无重大语法错误,表达流畅,能围绕题目进行论点阐述,论证,无偏题,跑题问题。
第二部分4 passages of interpretation这部分共有四段口译,两段英翻中,两段中翻英。
每一段分四小段翻完,即共有十六小段。
每小段通常在两到三小句,其中至少应有一句长难复杂句。
每小段结束后磁带中发出“嘟”的声音,考生必须在第二声“嘟”之前把听到的段落翻译出来。
每小段间隔时间约为22到25秒钟。
每小段字数大约为60-80字。
2.评分标准及通过率口试与笔试最大的区别在于没有具体的分数,而只有及格与不及格之分。
中级口译共十六小段,必须要确保翻对其中的十一小段。
即最多只能错五小段。
如只翻对十小段,错六小段,虽然只差一小段,但结果仍然是不过。
所以口试是相对来说比较残酷的。
这也是口试通过率特别低的主要原因,中口一般为不超过30%,高口一般不超过20%。
如一个考场一天有二十名考生,中口最多过六到七人,高口最多过三到四人。
具体到每小段的时候,考官会遵循三分之二正确率的原则。
即如一小段中有六个关键信息,考生必须正确翻出至少三分之二的内容才算这小段通过,如翻对二分之一,则算不及格。
现举例说明:以中级口译2005年9月第二阶段考试为例:原文:Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to our annual University Awards. I am extremely delighted that we are once again celebrating the achievements of our colleagues.//关键信息为:上午好/女士们先生们/欢迎参加本大学颁奖仪式/高兴/再次/庆祝/同仁/成就不及格版本:上午好,欢迎参加颁奖,很高兴庆祝同仁的成就。

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。

Today it is not a matter of whether to go east, but when and how.A:你说的完全对.海外人士在上海及其周边地区的投资近年来翻了两番.出现这一高涨不止的投资热有多种缘由.除了中国是世界上经济增长最快的国家之一这个原因外,中国政府和地方政府很重视全面对外开放,不仅开放沿海城市.也开放内地,尽可能吸引外资.另外,许多海外机构与个人投资者认为,在中国直接投资比中国公司做生意更有利可图.B:I'm not sure if I understand the logic behind this preference.

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。

219 丝绸之路欢迎各位参加丝绸之路游。
我相信为期两周的游览将成为您一生中最难忘的经历之一。
丝绸之路的历史可以追溯到公元前二世纪,当时一名中国官员、朝廷的是这张骞沿着这条连接亚欧两大洲的贸易通道出使西域。
这条通道源于长安城,即今日的西安,一路穿越陕西省、甘肃省境内的河西走廊、新疆的塔里木盆地、帕米尔山区、阿富汗、伊朗、伊拉克以及叙利亚,最后抵达地中海东岸,全程7千公里,其中4千多公里的路段位于中国境内。
15世纪前的一千多年里,中国通过这条通道给西域各国带去了丝绸织物、火药、造纸术和印刷术。
同时,这条通道也从国外给我们引进了佛教、伊斯兰教,以及葡萄、核桃、石榴、黄瓜、玻璃、香水等产品。
因为中国丝绸是沿着这条道进入西方国家的,所以欧洲学者将此道称作丝绸之路。
丝绸之路沿途的大批历史文物、引人入胜的自然风景以及富有情趣的地方文化,使这一长途游成了世界上最精彩的旅游项目之一。
在丝绸之路的中国段,沿线散居着许多少数民族,他们对来自世界各地的游客都以礼相待,热情好客。
这里的事物和工艺品不同于中国中部的食物和工艺品。
治理的民间传说,如同天方夜谭一般神奇,听来有一番情趣。
我社安排的丝绸之路游,始于西安古城,止于新疆首府乌鲁木齐,其间我们还要游览兰州、敦煌以及吐鲁番。
沿线您可以领略自然景观的魅力,欣赏古代艺术家高超的工艺,品尝地方风味小吃,解释当地居民。
这次游览一定会给您留下可与家人和朋友共享的美好回忆。
传统节日我很高兴有机会向各位介绍中国的主要传统节日,尤其是介绍中国最重要的传统节日——春节。
同世界其他地区一样,节日在中国是人们勤于烹调、饱享口福的时候。
菜市场鱼肉满架,购物和烹调成了人们的主要活动。
但是节庆膳食除了在数量和质量上与平日不同之外,一些历史悠久、具有象征意义的特色食物也是节日必不可少的伴侣。
例如农历5月5日的端午节,人们过端午节是为了纪念碑昏官贬官放逐而抱石投江自尽的古代诗人和忠臣屈原。
最初人们将以芦苇叶包扎好的糯米粽子投入屈原自尽的那条江,以祭祀亡灵。
今天,人们在端午节时举行龙舟比赛,而粽子则由活生生的人来享用。
农历8月15日中秋节是观赏满月的日子。
圆圆的月亮象征着圆满,进而象征着家庭团聚。
中秋节日的特质食品是一种圆形的月饼,内含核桃仁、蜜饯、豆沙或蛋黄等食物。
春节是中国最重要的传统节日,标志着农历新年的开始。
春节的日期按农历而定,通常出现在公历2月份前半个月的某一天。
过春节又叫做过年,意识是避开年这个怪物。
相传年是古时候的一种凶猛的怪物。
它的样子像强壮的公牛,长着狮子一样的头。
这个怪物通常呆在深山里。
但每到冬末春初,它在山里找不到足够的事物就会闯入村庄找东西吃。
村民们见之非常害怕,于是纷纷搬家,逃离这个怪物。
后来人们发现,年非常害怕三样东西:红色、明亮火焰以及大声喧哗。
人们为了阻止年进村,就把大门漆成红色,还点火烧竹子,发出噼噼啪啪的响声。
从此以后,年再也不来村里了。
一个传统就这样形成了。
竹子燃烧时发生的这种响声被后来的鞭炮声所取代。
这就是中国人燃放鞭炮欢庆春节的来历。
春节期间人们通常猛吃畅饮。
春节的食物比较讲究,除了常见的海鲜、家禽和肉类之外,人们还要按各自的地方习俗烹制一些传统菜肴。
因为春节标志新年的第一天,所以第一顿饭是相当重要的。
饺子、汤圆、年糕和八宝饭是过年时家家户户必不可少的吉祥食品。
年糕这个词里的糕字与高谐音,寓意来年节节高。
香甜的汤圆是合家团圆的象征。
春节期间的娱乐活动多种多样,丰富多彩。
耍龙灯和舞狮子是春节期间的传统项目。
还有一种至今仍受人欢迎的传统表演活动,叫踩高跷。
根据记载,中国人的祖先开始使用高跷是为了从树上采集水果。
如今,熟练的高跷表演者能够在高跷是为了从树上采集水果。
如今,熟练的高跷表演者能够在高跷上展示惊人的技艺,表演高难度的动作。
现在,随着生活水平的不断提高,人们采用了新的方式庆祝新年。
但不管庆祝方式怎么变,春节的精华不会变,那就是为了祈求新年吉祥如意,家家户户都会打扫得干干净净,门上都会贴上对联,人人穿上新衣裳,拿出最精美的食物,团聚在一起,互道吉利,表示祝贺。
最重要的是,春节是一个合家欢聚的日子,出门在外的人总要想方设法在除夕夜到来之前赶回家,吃上一年中最重要的一顿饭——团圆饭。
从传统意义上说,春节以元宵节为终结日。
每年农历正月十五的元宵节被称为“灯节”自古以来就是展览和观赏花灯的盛大节日。
这一节日正如宋词所描写的那样:鱼灯万里耀长空,闹灯元宵处处同。
顶马狮龙人物好,街歌巷舞尽儿童。
我今天简要介绍了一下中国的传统节日,希望各位朋友有机会去亲身体验一下我国传统节日的欢乐气氛。
教育之本我带博啊香港中文大学欢迎给同学。
香港中文大学,简称中大,成立于1963年,由当时的崇基学院、新亚书院和联合书院合并而成。
中大是一所研究型综合大学,以结合传统与现代、融会中国与西方为创校使命。
中大设有文学院、工商管理学院、教育学院、工程学院、医学院、理学院、社会科学院金额法学院等8个学院。
40对年来,我们一直致力于弘扬中华传统文化,坚持双语教育,并推行独特的书院制度,在香港高等教育界卓然而立。
中大校园占地134公顷,是世界上最美丽的校园之一。
中大的师生来自世界各地。
我们有教职员5200多人近万名本科生、约2000名研究生,其中约2500人来自45个不同的国家和地区。
我们开设的主副修课课程各有58门,可供学生自由选修。
中大全球近200所近200所高等院校建立了学生交换计划。
以2006年为例,约有800名海外交换生来到中大进行一个学期以上的学习交流,与我们的学生相互切磋;而人数相当的中大学生则赴海外学习,亲身体验异国文化。
此外,中大还有7000名研究生通过接受继续教育和专业教育获取研究生文凭或证书。
中大各学院的课程设计灵活,使学生在接受专业训练的同时,他们的创意也得以发挥。
重大实行灵活的学生制,学生可在3年内修满99个学分毕业。
学分制不仅有助于培养又专又博的人才,而且还赋予学生更大的学习自主权。
中大的多元教育有助于充分发挥每一个学生的潜能。
中大的校训“博文约礼”出自论语,讲求智育和德育并重。
我们即强调知识点额创造与传承,又注重学生的全面发展,学校致力于培养怀抱理想、目光远大、品德高尚的年轻人。
孔子曰:兴于诗,立于礼,成于乐。
诗与乐能够打动人心,陶冶性灵。
以文学和艺术来陶冶靴子的性格品德,可收到潜移默化之效果,并非一般知识传授所能做到。
作为一所综合性大学,中大的诸多院系提供多种学科教育,十分注重通识教育,让莘莘学子得以探求广博的知识。
学而后知礼,学生适当运用所学知识,既可自律,又可促成群体生活的和谐。
中大以中国古代神话中的凤为校徽,因为自汉代以来,凤被视为南方之鸟,是高贵、美丽、忠耿和庄严的象征。
中大的校色是紫色和金色,紫色象征热诚和忠耿,金色则象征坚毅和果敢。
中大矢志发展成为一所国内领先、东南亚的世界级的卓越学府。
欢迎你们加入我们的行列。
