奥巴马上海演讲+中美关系

中国的对外关系这一话题是翻译考试需要注意的话题之一。纵观历年的口译考试：2002年3月份的高级口译考试汉译英部分考查了中美关系，2006年9月份的高口汉英翻译围绕中国外交展开。2007年9月份的中口汉译英围绕中国的和平发展道路展开。今年是中美建交三十一周年，美国总统奥巴马于2009/11/15-18开始对中国进行国事访问，这也是首位在第一年任期之内对中国进行国事访问的美国总统。因此，中美关系无疑会成为2010年的口译考试的热点话题。

总体来看，涉及到中美关系的考查段落难度不是很大，原因是有些固定的说法和套话，比如坚持三个联合公报、立足当前、放眼长远等等，所以只要做好梳理和记忆就行。
