2021年英语翻译口译笔译考试初级口译模拟试题
2021年英语翻译口译笔译考试初级口译模拟试 题（3） Part A: Translate the following passages from English into Chinese(two passages, each 25 points) Passage 1 : Can man be credited with choosing the right path when he knows only one?Can he be congratulated for his wise decision when only one judgment is possible? If he knows nothing of vice, is he to be praised for adhering to virtue? Wisdom consists of the deliberate exercise of judgment; knowledge comes in the discrimination between those known alternatives. Weighing these alternatives is the way of maturity. Only then does man have the strength to follow his choice without wavering, since that choice is based firmly on knowledge rather than on an uncertain, dangerously shallow foundation of ignorance. Passage 2 :

口译考试准备
上海中级口译考试怎样准备？ 中口考试分为两阶段。第一阶段笔试，一般在每年3月和9月中旬周日下午，时间150分钟，总分250分。共分四部分： 第一部分听力90分，分为三部分，均为30分。Part A是复合式听写，20个空，跟四六级考试有点类似，但区别在于全文只能听一遍，每个空要填2-4个单词，语速大约130词/分。Part B是听力理解，包括单句理解，长对话和短文。单句理解就是从四个选项中找出和所听到的句子意思最接近的一个，长对话和短文与四六级差不多。Part C是听译，分为单句听译和篇章听译，都是英译汉，即听力放英语句子和文章，然后留出一段时间，考生写出汉语翻译。 第二部分阅读60分，六篇文章，每篇文章后5个选择题。 第三部分英译汉50分，第四部分汉译英50分，要求考生不借助任何词典、参考资料和其它媒介，将一篇长度为180个单词（汉字）左右的英（汉）语文章段落译成汉（英）语。译文需忠实原文的意思，且语言通顺，符合译语规范。 合格为150分。凡第一阶段合格的考生方可参加第二阶段口试。笔试成绩两年内有效，即笔试通过后可以参加四次口试，只要任何一次通过即可拿到口译证书。 第二阶段口试，每年5月和11月，共分两部分：口语与口译。口语部分要求考生就指定话题作三分钟左右的命题发言，话题后面有三个提示问题，但不要求一定要按照问题阐述观点。考生拿到口语试题后有五分钟的准备时间。口译分英译汉和汉译英两部分，每部分均要求口译主题各不相同的两个段落。各两段，每段四断，每断两或三句，每断单独评分。答对11句及以上可以通过。 考生只有在通过笔试和口试两个阶段以后才能获得《上海市英语中级口译岗位资格证书》。考试的指定培训教材：《中级听力教程》（周国强编著），《中级阅读教程》（陈汉生编著），《中级翻译教程》（孙万彪、冯慎宇编著），《中级口语教程》（严诚忠、朱妙南编著），《中级口译教程》（梅德明编著），均由上海外语教育出版社出版。听力和口译教程配有磁带，mp3网上可以下载到。 推荐参考书：《中级口译真题解析》，同济大学出版社，内有八套真题并配有详细解析，必买；新东方口试考试培训班指定辅导用书系列，汪海涛、邱政政主编，世界图书出版公司，一套四本，中口用到《词汇必备》，《口试备考精要》和《中口笔试备考精要》三本；《英语中级口译实用教程》，康志峰主编，华东理工大学出版社；《英语中高级口译笔试冲刺》和《口试导考》，都是谭宝泉编著，前者是上海译文出版社，后者是东华大学出版社；《实战口译》，（英）林超伦编著，外语教学与研究出版社，讲口译速记符号的。 考试准备 1.背单词 单词是肯定要背的。口译的准备一般从寒假开始，这时离你四六级考试或英语期末考试结束已经有一段时间了，背单词可以唤醒你丧失的英语记忆。而且上面也提到口译单词涉及到诸多方面，其中绝大部分都是具有中国特色、与我国现阶段国情紧密相关的，社会实用性很强，这些都是大学英语教学所欠缺的。有些单词你可能以前都没有接触过，通过背单词，可以初步了解口译考试的考点。 我用的是新东方的《中/高级口译考试词汇必备》，这也是迄今为止我所知道的最好的口译单词书。它打破了单词书按字母顺序编写的常规，将口译常用单词和词组分为若干类，既有英译中，也有中译英，充分考虑了口译的双向性。所选内容除了来自教程外，还参考了国内外多种资料和媒体，很多翻译（特别是对外口径）都是“权威”表达。 背单词点到为止，千万不要花太多时间，毕竟考试不是考默写单词。另外这本单词书有不少

英语口译范文
01 The Language of Music A painter hangs his or her finished picture on a wall, and everyone can see it. A composer writes a work, but no one can hear it until it is performed. Professional singers and players have great responsibilities, for the composer is utterly dependent on them. A student of music needs as long and as arduous a training to become a performer as a medical student needs to become a doctor. Most training is concerned with technique, for musicians have to have the muscular proficiency of an athlete or a ballet dancer. Singers practice breathing every day, as their vocal chords would be inadequate without controlled muscular support. String players practice moving the fingers of the left hand up and down, while drawing the bow to and fro with the right arm -- two entirely different movements. Singers and instrumentalists have to be able to get every note perfectly in tune. Pianists are spared this particular anxiety, for the notes are already there, waiting for them, and it is the piano tuner's responsibility to tune the instrument for them. But they have their own difficulties: the hammers that hit the strings have to be coaxed not to sound like percussion, and each overlapping tone has to sound clear. This problem of getting clear texture is one that confronts student conductors: they have to learn to know every note of the music and how it should sound, and they have to aim at controlling these sounds with fanatical but selfless authority. Technique is of no use unless it is combined with musical knowledge and understanding. Great artists are those who are so thoroughly at home in the language of music that they can enjoy performing works written in any century. 01 音乐的语言 画家将已完成的作品挂在墙上，每个人都可以观赏到。作曲家写完了一部作品，得由 演奏者将其演奏出来，其他人才能得以欣赏。因为作曲家是如此完全地依赖于职业歌手和职业演奏者，所以职业歌手和职业演奏者肩上的担子可谓不轻。 一名学音乐的学生要想成为一名演奏者，需要经受长期的、严格的训练，就象一名医科的学生要成为一名医生一样。绝大多数的训练是技巧性的。 音乐家们控制肌肉的熟练程度，必须达到与运动员或巴蕾舞演员相当的水平。歌手们每天都练习吊嗓子，因为如果不能有效地控制肌肉的话，他们的声 带将不能满足演唱的要求。弦乐器的演奏者练习的则是在左手的手指上下滑动的同时，用右手前后拉动琴弓--两个截然不同的动作。歌手和乐器演奏者必须使所有的音符完全相同协调。钢琴家们则不用操这份心，因为每个音符都已在那里等待着他们了。 给钢琴调音是调音师的职责。但调音师们也有他们的难处：他们必须耐心地调理敲击琴弦的音锤，不能让 音锤发出的声音象是打击乐器，而且每个交叠的音都必须要清晰。如何得到乐章清晰的纹理是学生指挥们所面临的难题：他们必须学会了解音乐中的每一个音及其发音之道。他们还必须致力于以热忱而又客观的权威去控制这些音符。除非是和音乐方面的知识和悟性结合起来，单纯的技巧没有任何用处。 艺术家之所以伟大在于他们对音乐语言驾轻就熟，以致于可以满怀喜悦地演出写于任何时

Model Test One Since we arrived, the gracious hospitality with which we have been received has been truly heartwarming. // A Chinese proverb best describes my feeling: "When the visitor arrives, it is as if returning home." // One of the purposes of my visit was to make new friends, but I'm very pleased to find that instead of making friends, 1 am among friends. // And I'm also very pleased with our cooperation in the joint venture which has been very successful: We both gained and profited, and we both survived the fierce competition in the world market. Ladies and gentlemen, I suppose you've all read the report about the restructuring of the group's organization, which has given rise to the problem of relocating the new group. // One possibility is to move all the head offices to Shanghai, and that is basically what the report recommends. // Alternatively, we could continue to run the two companies quite separately in their present locations with the smaller one in Shanghai. // I'm not sure how efficient the second option would be, but I'd like to hear your opinions on the subject. 自从我们到达时,我们的盛情款待收到已经真正感人的。/ / 中国谚语最好描述我的感觉:“当客人到达时,就好像回家。" / / 我访问的目的之一是结交新朋友,但我很高兴发现交朋友,而是朋友之间的1点。/ / 我也非常高兴我们的合作的合资企业非常成功:我们都上涨,获利,我们都在世界市场竞争激烈。 女士们,先生们,我想你们都读汇报集团组织的重组,这催生了搬迁新集团的问题。/ / 一种可能性是所有总部搬到上海,这基本上是报告建议。/ / 或者,我们可以继续运行这两家公司分别在他们现在的位置与规模较小的一个在上海。/ / 我不知道第二选择是有效的,但是我想听听你的意见。 Passage 1 中国有一句话是这么说的,“上有天堂,下有苏杭。”// 这句话毫无夸张之意,苏杭这两座邻近上海的历史名城以其秀丽的景色每年吸引了数以百万计的海内外游客。//例如,中国南方园林建筑艺术的典范、迷人的苏州造景园林在有限的空间里造就了无数自然景观。//园林的池塘、河水、石头、花朵、树木给游客带来了如诗般的意境,这确实是赴苏州观光的必游之地。 China has a word says, "above there is heaven and below there are suzhou and hangzhou." / / The meaning of this sentence without exaggeration, suzhou and hangzhou, two famous historical cities near Shanghai for its beautiful scenery every year attracts millions of tourists from home and abroad. / / For example, the apotheosis of the art of building gardens in south China, the charming landscape gardens in suzhou in limited space has created numerous natural landscape. / Garden pond, river, stones, flowers, trees gave visitors a poetic artistic conception, it is to
2014英语口译之翻译笔记03
原文：There is a fatality about all physical and intellectual distinction, the sort of fatality that seems to dog through history the faltering steps of kings. （Oscar Wilde - The Picture Of Dorian Gray 道林格雷的画像） 翻译关键词：fatality，physical and intellectual distinction，dog through 译文：大凡相貌和才智出众的，都会在劫难逃，古往今来，这种劫数一直尾随着帝王们蹒跚的步履。(荣如德译) 翻译笔记： fatality：这个词感觉有点像中文里所说的“宿命、劫数”，形容词fatal，“致命的”，和deadly的语义完全不是一个层面的，个人觉得和doomed有些接近，一种命中注定的悲剧感觉吧。译文中“在劫难逃”一语太精准了，属于那种在某蕉看来，一眼惊艳的译法。法语中有个词femme fatale，字面意思：fatal woman，英语中也有用，说的就是红颜祸水，像巴黎圣母院里的艾丝美拉达。某蕉于是很喜欢这个fatal（什么恶趣味啊……），就因为和中文中“劫、命、祸”的含义接近吧。 physical and intellectual distinction——相貌和才智出众的（人） 译文的精彩和老到之处在于，把原文这么个抽象的distinction，“出众、卓越、优秀”这样的抽象概念，译文中变成了“出众的人”，不这样处理，直译的话肯定是行不通的，某蕉这里再赞一个！ dog - 尾随，纠缠 dog做动词的用法之前还真没见过，这里正好记住了，虽说自己未必用得着，不过讲不定以后汉译英的时候用得上呢，再怎么用不上，拿来考考别人也是可以的（你就显摆吧……） 总结：王尔德的文字难翻译，看过他的书的人肯定对此都深有体会，华丽的文风+调侃幽默的语句+诙谐背后的深刻，译者搜肠刮肚，有时候也未必能传达王尔德作品的精髓。今天从道林格雷的画像中单挑出这么一个句子，只因为某蕉觉得从句子结构处理，到字词的翻译，再到语气的把握，都非常好，而且单看译文，流畅通顺，如果不说是翻译的，感觉也很像直接以中文写出的句子，某蕉再想挑刺，也挑不出来了。
历年英语翻译初级口译考试真题及答案
历年英语翻译初级口译考试真题及答案 上午卷： 英译中： (1) New Zealand is a South Pacific country located midway between the Equator and the South Pole, with a land of 268,105 square kilometers and a population of over three million. （第63页－黄） 新西兰是一个南太平洋国家，位于赤道和南极洲之间，国土面积为268105平方公里，人口为300多万。 简析：纵观口译考题，出题者十分聪明地将有关课文的每篇的首句作为考题来出，真是用心良苦。试想每篇文章的首句或每段文章的第一句话不是有提纲挈领的作用吗？理解了首句往往就能了解文章的大概。这和阅读理解的要求有着很大的相通性。所以加强平日对英语句子的敏感性十分有必要。 2) When the washing cycle is over, the machine fries the plates and glasses with its own heart, and indeed they can be left inside until they are needed for the next meal. (P.367) 洗涤过程完成后，洗碗机用自身的热量将盘子和杯子烘干。杯盘还可以留在机内待下一餐使用时再取出。 中译英： (1）为了过好学校里的公寓生活，学生应该学会自己洗衣服，整理房间，甚至于买菜做饭。（第355页） To manage apartment living in school successfully, the students must learn to do their own washing and cleaning, and even buy and cool their own food. (2）据估计，全球毒品的贸易额以达到每年4000亿美元之巨。吸毒者约占全世界人口的3％。(p36蓝)

1. Fans around the world are remembering the man who called himself the King of Pop. Michael Jackson died Thursday in Los Angeles. Michael Jackson would have celebrated his fifty-first birthday in August. He was just days from launching what he hoped would be a comeback -- a series of fifty concerts in London. 全球各地的歌迷都在缅怀一位被称作是“流行之王”的人。迈克尔·杰克逊周四在洛杉矶逝世。迈克尔·杰克逊本该在8月份庆祝自己的51岁生日。距离在伦敦举行50场系列音乐会只剩几天时间了——他本希望这次音乐会能让自己复出 2. More than seven hundred fifty thousand tickets sold out within hours of going on sale in March. The shows were set to begin July thirteenth. There were questions, though, about whether his health could handle the extended tour. And after he died there were more questions -- this time about his use of painkillers. Medical examiners did an autopsy on Friday, but tests for drugs in the body normally take weeks. 3 月份，75万余张门票在公开销售的几小时内被抢购一空。演出原定在7月13日拉开序幕。不过，大家对他的健康状况能否应付长时间的巡演表示怀疑。他死后出现了更多疑问——这一次是关于他服用止痛药的事。验尸官周五进行了尸检，但体内药物检测通常需要数周的时间。 3. Thriller," his nineteen eighty-two album, earned a place in Guinness World Records as the best selling album of all time. It produced hits like "Beat It" and "Billie Jean." Michael Jackson was born in Gary, Indiana, the seventh of nine children. He was five years old when he and his brothers began performing in the Jackson 5. 他在1982 年发行的专辑《颤栗者》赢得了“史上最畅销专辑”的吉尼期世界纪录。这张专辑打造了“闪开”和“比利·吉恩”这些热门单曲。迈克尔·杰克逊出生于印第安纳州的加里市，他在9个孩子中排行第7。当他和哥哥们组成“杰克逊5人组”开始上台表演时，他才年仅5 岁。 4.
