中级口译听力教程第三版2AAn intermediate course of English listening. Third edition.Unit four. Part one. How children learn social behaviors.2. Exercises. 1. This is a talk about how children learn social behaviors. Listen to the first part of the talk and then supply the missing words you hear from the talk.W: Hi, welcome. Today we are going to talk about how children learn social behaviors, especially how they learn lessons from the family, the most basic unit of our social structure. There are a lot of discussions these days about how families are changing, and whether non-traditional families have a good or bad effect on children. But it’s important to remember that the type of the family a child comes from is not nearly as important as the kind of love and support that exist in the home. I’d like to focus on three of the ways the children acquire their behavior, through rewards, punishments, and finally modeling. First then, let’s discuss rewards. A reward can be defined as a positive reinforcement for good behavior. An example of a reward is when the parent says if you eat your vegetable you can have ice-cream for dissert, or a parent might say finish your homework first then you can watch TV. Most parents use rewards unconsciously, because they want their children to behave well. For example, a parent might give a gift to a child because the child behaved well, or parents might give child money for doing what the parents asked.2. Now listen to the second part of the talk. Provide the missing information in the spaces given below.The opposite of the reward is a punishment. Punishments are the second important way in which a child is socialized. All of us have probably been punished in our lives. For example maybe our parents stopped us from going out with friends, because we did something we were not supposed to do, or maybe they wouldn’t let us watch TV, because we got a bad grade on the test. Both rewards and punishments are controversial. Many people think they are not effective or necessary, especially when used often. Let’s take this situation. A young boy has been asked to take out the garbage. Listen to situation A. The parents say if you take out the garbage for me I will give you a cookie. Some people argue that this reward is unnecessary, because it’s like a bribe. They argue that the child should be taught that it’s his duty to help with house hold chords, and that he should not get a special reward for doing something that’s his responsibility. Situation B would go something like this. David please take out the trash now. And David says OK dad. Not surprisingly punishment is extremely controversial, especially when the punishment is physical. Some of us grew up expecting to be spanked if we misbehaved. For example, our parents may have hit us on the hand if we talked back to them. But I don’t agree that spanking can teach children anything. And sadly some children are subject to really serious physical abuse. According to a study I just read one in 22 children is a victim of physical abuse. Children who come from homes where violence were used to solve problems are much more likely to abuse their own children when they become adults and have their own families.Part 2. Statements. 3. Exercises. Listen and then choose the answer which is closed in meaning to each statement you hear.1.

Listen to the following conversation about Simon’s family. And then choose the best answer to each question you hear.W: Hello, Simon. I’d like to talk to you about your family.M: Well, probably the most important influence in my life was my family. Not just my mother and father, but my extended family. I grew up very close to them. I had never really sawpeople out besides my family. And we lived together in a 3 generation house.W: Three generations in one house? That’s am azing!M: I remember feeling when I was in the car, and we were going some place with my parents and grand-parents. I used to feel sorry for all the other children on the street, because they weren’t going anywhere with their own families. So I was very h appy.W: Weren’t there ever any problems with you all live in the same house?M: Well, there was a time when I was in college. And you see my father always wanted his children with him. He was actually more protective of us than my mother was. And I remember I had a big project to do for school. And they were going away for the weekend, and I had decided that I wasn’t going to go because I needed to do my work. And this caused a terrible problem. And I did end up going because my father was so upset. So I think of course as I got older I started to realize that I had to live my own life. But it wasn’t that easy. W: How many children were there?M: Well, I was the oldest of three boys. And of course we used to dance and roller-skate in the basement and pl ay together, I didn’t play with children on my block very much.W: It sounds like you had a really good up-bringing.M: Well, I had very positive feelings about my family. And the most positive feeling is love. What I learned from different people in my family and perhaps some of my best traits, my father was a very generous person, and I learned that you should care about other people. Questions:1) Which of the following statements is true about Simon’s family?2) According Simon what was the problem with his family?3) How many children were there in Simon’s family?4) Simon says he has very positive feelings about his family. What is the most positive feeling according to him?2. Growing up in the single parent house hold. This is a conversation about a single parent family. Listen and then choose the best answer to each question you hear.W: Michael, I know you grew up in a single parent house hold. Can you tell me about your family?M: OK. My mother and father migrated to the US from Mexico when I was 5 years old, and my sister was 3. But then my mother left my father, so it was just my mother, my sister and myself. And my mother was a garnered worker. You know, sewing. But that industry is seasonal. So when there was work she worked a lot, then she would find people to take care of us until she got home. When we were a little older we pretty much took care of ourselves. W: Did you play with other kids in the neighborhood much?M: Oh, yeah, there was a good stretch when I was in junior high school and played out in the street a lot. After school I would be out and just play stick ball, marbles, yoyo, just ran around the neighborhood.W: What kind of lessons do you think you learn from your mother?M: Well, I guess there were 2 things. The first thing I remember is being taught to pretty much take care of myself. You know, picking up after yourself around the house. And I remember her teaching me cooking, cleaning, and ironing, and I remember running errands because in dinner time there was always something she had forgotten to get.W: You said you learned 2 lessons.M: I guess the other lesson was just, you know, how important it is to get an education. I remember she wanted us to learn Spanish, so she bought a blackboard and started teaching us in the house.W: Well, Michael, over the past generation or so, family structures has changed a lot. How important do you think these changes are?M: Well, I don’t really know if it has changed that much. Sure, there has been an increasing single par ent households. But I don’t know if the family has really changed. But I do think is important is having a person in the family who does what has to be done to show you the right way, so that you get an education, moral instruction, religious outlook, some positive influences in you life, and anger in your life. So, for example, school was very influential in my life. There were enough good teachers to really point me in the right direction. It’s not just what you get in the home, but other positive influences as well.Questions:1) Who compose Michael’s family when his parents separated?2) What was his mother’s job at that time?3) Michael says he learned 2 lessons from his mother, what was the first lesson?4) What was the second lesson he learned from his mother?5) Which of the following statements is true about Michael’s life?3. Is there any advice you could give parents? This is a conversation about adolescence. Listen and then choose the best answer to each question you hear.W: Peter, they say that adolescence is the time when people begin to get most pressure from their peers. Do you think that’s true?M: What I have seen is that adolescence is the time when the pressure begins to shift from the family and the school to friends. I think it begins about 11, but comes into full bloom at about 13, 14.W: What actually happens then?M: Well, the first thing you see is that adolescence begins to make fashion statements. And certainly those ideas don’t come from you. You can tell at a glance that they don’t come from you, like wearing baggy pants that look like it falling down, and piercing their ears. My younger son began to ask if he could dye his hair blue.W: And what did you say?M: We said when he was a little older, he could make that decision, with the hope that that fad would have passed out of style.W: OK, but where would you draw the line? I mean you let him wear baggy pants, but would you let him dye his hair?M: I think in the end I would, but not without a fight.W: So what other things happen?M: Well, as the kids get older you start to lose them, because they are always talking on the phone or talking on line or doing other things. Even when they are home they are in their room most of the time talking on the phone and not just talking on the phone, they might be talking to one person on the phone and to other people on line. And the only thing you know for sure is they are not talking to you.W: Do you think this is all normal behavior? I mean should you be trying to monitor it?M: I think both. It’s healthy to develop your own values, your own tastes. But I also think thatparents should be monitoring it. When it’s a question of fashion, that’s OK. Where you draw the line is when they are doing something dangerous or illegal, drugs, smoking, drinking. W: Is there any advice you could give parents?M: Well, one thing is to think back to your own experiences as a teenager. I must say I find myself repeating the same annoying language my father used with me. I have to try to remember not to do that.W: So how you talked to your kids is important.M: Yes, and it’s hard to watch your kids doing things you don’t want them to do. For example, my kids are into video games. And I can’t find any value whatsoever in these games. But I think you don’t have to like everything your kids do, as long as it’s not dangerous or illegal. Questions:1) What are they talking about in the short conversation?2) According to the conversation adolescence likes to do several things. Which of the following is not one of these things?3) Apart from arguments with their kids, what other things happen to parents as their children get older?4) What is the parents’ right attitude towards such behavior of their kids?5) What advice does the man give to parents at the end of the conversation?Part four.

One advantage of living outside London is that houses are cheaper.2) Even a small flat in London without a garden costs quite a lot to rent.

The sun heats and feeds mankind. Each year it provides men with 200 million tons of grain, and nearly 10 million tons of wood.2) As one of the largest trade fairs in London for Asian made toys, gifts and household products, the Asia expo has successfully helped thousands of Asian suppliers link up with their numerous European buyers in the past 7 years.

口译Unit4

In the feudal society which lasted several millennia and the subsequent hundred odd years of semi-colonial and semi-feudal society, Chinese women experienced a bitter history of prolonged oppression, degradation and abasement. In the first half of the 20th century, Women plunged into an undaunted and heroic struggle lasting several decades, and, under the leadership of Communist Party of China, finally won their historic freedom.

Most importantly, the family reunion dinner must be well prepared. This is an auspicious and the most sumptuous meal of the year, and part of the food must be left over for the coming year, symbolizing that the family have food enough to spare from year to year. Such a bountiful feast is known as the “Crossing-the-Year Meal”. When the meal is prepared, the food is first used as a sacrificial offering to the gods and ancestors.

英汉口译高级--Unit-four

课外练习Passage 1 Chinese-English Interpretation北京观光客自然都会游览故宫和长城，这是因为故宫和长城是举世闻名的旅游景点。

而今天我却想向各位推荐北京第三大旅游场所，北京世界公园。

北京世界公园于90年代初在北京兴建，是北京的最新旅游景点。

这里游客那种“一日游尽天下景”的梦想便可成真。

北京世界公园的规模雄踞亚洲同类公园之冠，所收微缩复制品的数量也堪称亚洲之最。

世界七大奇观以及50个国家的约100处历史名胜和自然景观均以微缩模型展出。

占地面积46.7公顷的世界公园分为17处风景区，收集了亚洲、非洲、欧洲。

南北美洲以及大洋洲的主要名胜景点。

游客可以在这里观赏法国的凯旋门、埃菲尔铁塔、罗浮宫玻璃金字塔、凡尔赛宫和巴黎圣母院；英国伦敦的塔桥和白金汉宫；意大利的比萨斜塔、罗马大斗兽场、威尼斯水城和圣可马广场；西班牙的阿卡沙堡；德国的科隆大教堂；荷兰的风车和郁金香田园风光；希腊的雅典卫城；俄罗斯的克里姆林宫墙及钟楼；印度的泰姬陵；泰国的泰王宫；柬埔寨的吴哥窟；缅甸的仰光大金塔；新加坡的狮头鱼身像；埃及的基萨金字塔群和阿布辛伯勒神庙；美国的大峡谷和自由女神像；澳大利亚的悉尼歌剧院；墨西哥的巨石头像；智利的复活节岛巨人石像；秘鲁的那斯卡线画；中国的长城和故宫等景物复制品。

这些旅游景观制作精巧，工艺精湛，其中大多为原作的精确复制品，用料均为白玉、理石、上乘花岗岩石或其他优质石料。

例如，莫斯科的红场是以500块比麻将牌还小的红砖铺就而成。

而埃及的金字塔则以20万块大理石砌成。

美国的科罗拉多河和大峡谷的微缩景观高达32米，一条“巨型瀑布”从16米的高处飞流直冲谷底。

公园的东北角有一条300米长的国际街，这条具有欧美建筑风格的国际街集餐饮、购物和娱乐于一体，游客可以在这里领略各国情调，品尝他乡风味，购买纪念礼品，参加各种娱乐活动。

北京世界公园自开放以来已吸引了许多海内外游客前来观赏美景。

商务现场口译第四单元 Unit 4 Business Travel

U n i t F o u rB u s i n e s s T r a v e lUnit Objectives (单元目标)After reading this unit, you should➢understand the ways to identify the main ideas of the source text.➢find ways to improve your interpreting skills and performance.➢master the basic words and expressions about business travel.➢know some cultural background knowledge about business travel.PreparingI. Interpreting Skills (口译技能)Read the following presentation about discourse analysis and try tounderstand the four speech types and know how to identify the mainideas of the source text.

Listen to the passage again and try to catch more details, then retell thestory in your own words.Decoding Training (II): Discourse Analysis（语篇分析）Interpreting is to “understand and make understood”. To interpret the speech, one must first understand the message of the speech. However, comprehension（理解）of the source discourse goes beyond the simple recognition of words and linguistic structures. The interpreter shall make an analysis of the source discourse. More importantly, the interpreter shall identify（识别）the speech type and know how to identify the main ideas of the original speeches.Identification of the Speech TypesSpeeches are diversified serving different occasions and purposes. It will be of great help to the interpreters if they know the speaker’s style. In most cases, speeches are prepared beforehand. Therefore, a study of the different types of writing helps an interpreter identify the main idea of a given speech. Following are the basic types of writing.1. Descriptive WritingDescriptive（描述性的）writing involves a great deal of detailed information. A descriptive discussion aimed at providing details of an event, a scene, a procedure, or a situation.This speech type demands a thorough background investigation of the speaker and the relevant situation by the interpreter.2. Narrative WritingNarrative（叙述性的）writing focuses on the development of events. There is no doubt that the interpreter should be very sensitive to dates, time phrases, and verb tenses when a narrative speech is dealt with.3. Expositive WritingExpositive（说明性的）writing deals with its subject matter in such orders as chronological, spatial, comparison, and definition. It would be to the advantage of the interpreter to conduct a background investigation of the speaker and the situation, for that would provide the interpreter with not only thenecessary glossary but also the speaker’s standpoint（立场）.4. Persuasive WritingPersuasive（劝说性的）writers always want to make their arguments clear, strong and convincing. When the purpose is to convince, writers of persuasive writing mainly employ two techniques -- induction（归纳）and deduction（推论）. Inductive writing starts with specific examples or points to draw a general conclusion, while deductive writing illustrates its thesis at first and then supports and reinforces the thesis through specific examples or subordinate ideas.Identification of the Main IdeasIn the context of interpreting, the main ideas of the source speech can be identified at the sentence level and at the discourse level. Priority should always be attached to identifying the main idea at the sentence level. We argue that identification of main ideas be done on the basis of sentences. Training in identifying the main ideas in interpreting should naturally take place first at the sentence level.1. Sentence LevelThe most important task for an interpreter to identify the main ideas at the sentence level is to discern (洞悉）the subject, verb and object (SVO). It is highly significant for the interpreter to catch the SVO of the sentence while listening to the source text, as the SVO usually carries the major information of the sentence. For example, when listening to “The best way to carry money while traveling is to have a major credit card”, the interpreter is expected to catch “The best way is to have a credit card.” If the interpreter is able to catch the SVO of the sentence, he then will produce a complete sentence with the major information in the target language.2. Discourse LevelThere are also some skills an interpreter might employ on different occasions for grasping the gist （要点）of a speech at the discourse level. In a well-organized speech, the speaker usually explains his point in the first few sentences. Therefore, one of the ways to get the main idea of a speech is to attach priority to the beginning of the speech. Secondly, if the interpreter encounters a speech that is inductively constructed, the interpreter should, to the best of their ability, conduct a study of the speaker's background and viewpoints so that they can follow the speaker's logical guidelines.II. Phrase Interpreting (短语口译)Work on the following words and phrases. Interpret them into Chineseand English respectively.A. English to Chinese1. Have a population of…2. Cover an area of…3. Date back to…4. Have a history of…5. Be situated in…6. The gross domestic product7. Dive-in restaurant 8. Quarantine certificate9. Duration of stay 10. Residence permitB.

English to Chinese1. I believe you're going out of your way for us.2. Wouldn't you like to spend an extra day or two here?3. I'm afraid that won't be possible, much as we'd like to.4.

In terms of economic power, it is a member of Big Seven, the world's leading industrial nations, ranking along with the United States, France, the United Kingdom, Italy, Germany and Japan. Canada plays an active role in international affairs, often taking part in peacekeeping and humanitarian missions and spearheading aid and development programs. Its scenery of mountains, oceans, forests and prairies is spectacular. It has a lively and rich culture, with many world famous actors, pop stars and writers. In annual "quality of life", Canada regularly is rated as having the best standard of living in the world because of its health care, education, clean environment, social welfare, and so on. In contrast to its physical size, economic power and international prestige, Canada's population is very small. The current population is about 30.6 million. This paradox of having a small number of people in a very large, resource-rich area gives rise to some of the misleading perceptions people have about Canada. Most people do not know very much about Canada. Mention the country and usually one of two images will spring to mind. On the one hand, you might picture a sparsely populated, frozen country where people live in igloos, eat fish, hunt bears and constantly endure snow and cold. On the other, you might think Canada is a country that is "just like America". Even Americans are inclined to think of Canada as the 51st state, a part of America that through some quirk of history is not one of the United States. It is easy to understand how such misleading impressions of Canada have become engrained. It is true that most of Canada lies very far north. Large areas of the country are wild, virtually unpopulated arctic region, full of dangerous animals and freezing temperatures. But most Canadians live in the south of the country, about 90 percent of the population is estimated to live within a few hundred kilometers of the Canadian-American border, in a climate that is much less extreme.填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：ranking along with）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：Italy，Germany and Japan）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：ininternational affairs）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：aid and development programs）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：spectacular）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：the best standard）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：clean environment）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：In contrast to）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：about 30.6 million）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：the misleading perceptions）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：one of two images）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：a sparsely populated）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：constantly endure）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：are inclined to think of）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：misleading impressions）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：arctic region）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：90 percent）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：a few hundred kilometers）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：less extreme）解析：二、{{B}}B: Listening Comprehension{{/B}}(总题数：2，分数：10.00)StatementsDirections: In this part of the test, you will hear several short statements.

Thus they build monuments, or they tell stories from parents to children, or they write things down. To give shape to the stories, to show how events related to one another, ancient people began to write what we call histories. In both Greek and Latin, the word "historia" meansa story or a narrative. Historians were regarded as those who told the story of the past. One of the earliest historians, a Greek named Herodotus, always tried to make sure that information was as accurate as possible. Herodotus lived in the 400's B.C. He wrote a detailed account of the Persian Wars, the great struggle between the Greeks and the Persians that had taken place in the years before he was born. A great deal of our information about these wars exists only because Herodotus found it out and wrote it down. Here, to give one example, is his account of how the battle of Salamis began. This was a naval battle at which the Athenian ships defeated the Persians that had taken place in the year 480 B.C. It was one of the turning points of the war, and the question was how the Greeks, badly outnumbered, dared to fight. Here is how Herodotus explained it: Themistocles, the Athenian leader, told them to board their ships, whereupon the Greeks put to sea. The fleet had hardly left shore when they were attacked by the Persians. At once, most of the Greeks began to retreat, and were about to touch land again when one of the Athenian captains shot forward and charged one of the enemy. The two ships became entangled, and could not be separated. At this the rest of the Greek fleet came up to help, and the battle began. Ever since Herodotus, historians have recovered and preserved information about past events that otherwise would have been lost. Modern historians have continued to look for new information which helps us understand the past more clearly and more accurately.

The act I'm referring to is the choice you make every time you sit down to a meal. More than a million Canadians have already acted: they have chosen not to eat meat. And the pace of change has been dramatic. Vegetarian food sales are showing unparalleled growth. Especially popular are meat-free burgers and hot dogs, and the plant-based cuisines of India, China, Mexico, Italy and Japan. Fuelling the shift toward vegetarianism have been the health recommendations of medical research. Study after study has uncovered the same basic truth: plant foods lower your risk of chronic disease; animal foods increase it. The American Dietetic Association says: "Scientific data suggest possible relationships between a vegetarian diet and reduced risk for several chronic degenerative diseases." Animal foods have serious nutritional drawbacks: They are devoid of fiber, contain far too much saturated (饱和的) fat, and may even carry traces of hormones, steroids (类固醇) and antibiotics. It makes little difference whether you eat beef, pork, chicken or fish. Animal foods are also gaining notoriety as breeding grounds for E. coli (大肠杆菌), campylobacter (弯曲菌) and other bacteria that cause illness. So why aren'tgovernments doing anything about this? Unfortunately, they have bowed to pressure from powerful lobby groups such as the Beef Information Center, the Canadian Egg Marketing Agency and the Dairy Farmers of Canada. According to documents retrieved through the Freedom of Information Act, these groups forced changes to Canada's latest food guide before it was released in 1993. This should come as no surprise: Even a minor reduction in recommended intakes of animal protein could cost these industries billions of dollars a year. While health and food safety are compelling reasons for choosing a vegetarian lifestyle, there are also larger issues to consider. Animal-based agriculture is one of the most environmentally destructive industries on the face of the Earth.23. Which of the following are NOT recommended as healthy meals?A.(A) Because plant foods lower your risk of chronic disease; animal foods increase it. √B.(B) Because governments are advising people to take less meat.C.(C) Because the plant-based cuisines of India, China, Mexico, Italy and Japan are very popular.D.(D) Because Animal-based agriculture can badly pollute environment.解析：[听力原文] Why there has been a shift toward vegetarianism ?A.(A) They are devoid of fiber.B.(B) They contain far too much saturated fat.C.(C) They can lead to chronic degenerative diseases. √D.(D) They may even carry traces of hormones, steroids and antibiotics.解析：[听力原文] Which of the following are NOT the nutritional drawbacks of Animal foods?A.(A) The vegetarians.B.(B) The governments.C.(C) The lobby groups. √D.(D) The American Dietetic Association.解析：[听力原文] Who were responsible for the change of Canada's latest food guide before it was released in 1993?{{B}}Questions 27—30{{/B}}{{B}}Questions 27—30{{/B}}（分数：4.00）A.(A) 2.B.(B) 3. √C.(C) 4.D.(D) 5.解析：[听力原文]27-30 SW: Good evening, this is Sports World greeting you here at 20:30 GMT. Have you ever participated in a risky sport? What was it? In today's program we have Jenny Adams, a very athletic woman to talk to us about risky sports. Hang gliding is a dangerous sport. Jenny, what do you enjoy about the sport, and have you ever had an accident? Jenny: No, I've never been seriously injured. Maybe I've just been lucky. Once my glider turn upside down, and I lost control.I almost crashed, but I parachuted away just in time. And I've always felt hang gliding is quite safe—though landing is sometimes difficult. But it's fantastic to be able to fly like a bird! SW: And you've been mountain climbing for years now, right? What is the most difficult part? Jenny: Yes, I've been mountain climbing for 3 years, and the toughest part I believe is the high altitudes. They could be rather hard on the human body. I've experienced lack of oxygen, tiredness, and dehydration. I've lived through storms, avalanches, and strong winds. But that's what I like about mountain climbing—overcoming danger. SW: What exactly are the bends? And have you ever experienced them while scuba diving? Jenny: You get the bends when you've been deep under water. If you come up out of the water too quickly, bubbles form in your blood. The bends can be serious, and they can even cause death. But the bends are rare. Scuba diving isn't really dangerous. And。

中级口译4-3经营之道

4-3经营之道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?您好，杰克逊先生。

你在中国已连续工作了三年，您能否谈下中美两国生意人在商务沟通方式上有何不同之处？With pleasure. I think there are at least two differences in the way of businesspeople communication between Chinese and American businesspeople. First, Chinese businessmen tend to have business negotiations in a rather indirect manner, as opposed to the more direct manner of American businesspeople. The Chinese take time to learn if their prospective business contacts are really reliable, for example, by inviting them to a party and socializing 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 which involves many people at different levels. American companies, on the other hand, usually operate with quick decisions made by the top management. I hope American businesspeople in China will understand these differences in business practices and adjust to the Chinese way.我很乐意。
