下面你将听到的是一段有关中国古代海洋文化展的讲话。
Q：I heard that an exhibition opened recently in Beijing that showcases the remains of an ancient sunken ship. I wonder if you tell me something about it. //
A: 好啊。这艘船叫华光礁一号，是一个渔民于1996年在南中国海发现的。这条船在大海里已经沉睡了近800年，充满了神秘色彩。这是一艘商船，船上载满了瓷器和青铜器皿。//
Q：I have a keen interest in underwater cultural heritage, so I want to go and see this exhibition to find out how the ship sank and how the underwater archeological work was done in recovering it. //
A：展览分五个部分来介绍这艘船的情况，包括它最早起航时的状态。从沉船上打捞出来的文物都摆放在展厅里，以重视它们在海底被发现时的场景。//
Q：Is it China’s first national survey on underwater cultural relics? It must be a landmark accomplishment for China’s underwater cultural heritage protection. //
A：其实，这条海船在历史上是一条非常繁忙的国际海上贸易通道，有时也叫海上丝绸之路。古代中国商船就是通过这条海路把中国的瓷器、丝绸和其他物品远销海外。所以这条海路上其实有不少沉船。对华光礁而言，对它的勘察和保护的确是非常成功的。//
Q：So I see. What has China done to ensure that underwater cultural relics are protected? //
A：中国政府非常重视海底文化遗址保护，已经把它作为中国海洋战略的一个重要部分。在这方面20年来我们已经取得了很大进步，1987年建立了国家海底考古研究中心，培养了80多位水下考古潜水员。现在我们有一整套法律，法规和措施来保护海底文化遗址。//

下面你将听到的是一段有关塑料袋产生的环保问题的讲话。
Plastic bags are very popular with both retailers and consumers because they are cheap, strong, lightweight, as well as a hygienic means of carrying food and goods. But even though they are one of the modern conveniences that we seem to unable to do without, they are responsible for causing pollution, killing wildlife, and using up the precious resources of the earth. //
Billions of single-use plastic bags are given out for free each day all over the world. But, as the old saying goes, nothing comes for free. Here are some facts to illustrate the high costs paid by our environment and society for the unlimited and free use of plastic bags. To see the real costs, we must look at the multiple impacts and the effects of each phase of a plastic bag’s life. //
For phase one, we look at the production cost. The production of plastic bags requires oil and often natural gas, both are non-renewable resources. Oil is vital for our modern way of life. Without viable alternative sources of energy yet on the horizon, if the supply of oil were to be turned off, it would lead to, practically, the entire world grinding to a halt. And to make plastic, about 100 million barrels of oil are needed every year around the world. Additionally, prospecting and drilling for these resources contribute to the destruction of fragile ecosystems around the world. // In the second phase, there are consumption costs. When retailers give away free bags, their costs are passed on to consumers in form of higher prices. In the U.S. along, for example, annual cost on plastic bags to retailers is estimated at US$4 billion. When one considers the economies and populations of the whole world, including China and India, for example, the number can be staggering. //
Finally, the problem is disposal and litter costs. Once plastic bags become litter, they find their way into our waterways, parks, beaches, and streets. Hundreds of thousands of see-turtles, whales and other marine mammals die every year from eating discarded plastic bags mistaken for food. On land, many cows, goats and other animals suffer a similar fate. And, if plastic bags are burned, they fill the air with toxic fumes. So, they create a major environmental problem. Such “white pollution”will affect not only our generation, but many future generations to come. // So, what can be done? Well, if we have the will, we can start reducing their use in small ways. Try to use alternatives to plastic whenever and wherever possible. A paper or cloth bag can make good substitute for holding the shopping. While governments should be working out ways to lessen the impact of plastic bags on the environment, each of us should also shoulder some of the responsibility for this problem. //
Interpret the following passage from Chinese into English. Start interpreting at the signal and stop at the signal. You may take notes while you are listening. You will hear the passage only once. Now, let’s begin.
下面你将听到的是一段有关茶文化的讲话。
很高兴出席“中国茶文化展”开幕式。感谢亚洲之家主办这一活动，感谢你们为促进中英两国人们相互了解所做出的努力。中国是茶的故乡，早在大约三千年前，中国就是世界上第一个种茶、饮茶的国家。茶叶被视为继造纸术、印刷术、火药、指南针四大发明之后，中国人对人类的第五个重大贡献。// 茶和威士忌一样，最初是用于治疗疾病的，后来为上层人士所青睐，而后又日渐走进寻常百姓家，成为中国人社会和文化生活的重要组成部分。茶和丝绸、瓷器一样，增进了中国与世界各国间的交流与了解。17世纪初期，中国茶远销欧洲各国。英国人在茶中添加牛奶和糖，调制成可口的“英国茶”。英式红茶转而风靡全球。//
在英国，饮茶成为社会生活中不可或缺的部分。一位英国朋友曾风趣地告诉我，英国绅士一生三分之一的时间是在饮茶中度过的。以下事实可见一斑：英国是世界上最大的茶叶消费国之一，而“立顿”红茶如今成为全球第一大茶叶品牌。//
中国虽是茶的故乡，但现在还缺少国际品牌。我很高兴，这次茶文化展为英国喝茶的人士了解中国茶提供了良好的机会，相信双方都可以从相互交流中获益良多。//

2014年3月中级口译听力原文及听力解析
2014年3月中级口译听力原文及听力解析 听力原文 Spot Dictation: My topic for today’s lecture is communication, culture and work. When most people use the word ―culture‖, they think of people from different national backgrounds. National cultures certainly do exist, and they play an important role in shaping the way people communicate. But there are other dimensions of culture too. Within a nation, regional differences can exert a powerful influence on communication. New Yorkers and Alaskans may find one another’ s styles of be having so different that they might as well be from different countries. Race and ethnicity can also shape behavior, so can age. The customs, values and the attitudes of a 20-year-old girl may vary radically from those of her parents who were raised in the 1960s or her grandparents who lived through the Great Depression and World War II. Still, other differences can create distinctive cultures, gender, sexual orientation, physical disabilities, religion and social economic background or just a few. All of these factors lead to a definition of culture as a set of values, beliefs, norms, customs, rules, and codes that lead people to define themselves as a distinct group, giving them a sense of commonality. It’s important to realize that culture is learned, not innate. A Korea-born infant adapted soon after birth by American parents and raised in the United States will think and act differently than his or her cousins who grew up in Seoul An African-American who grew up in the city will view the world differently than he or she would if raised in the suburbs or in the countries like France when African heritage has different significance than it does in the United States. The norms and values we learned as a part of our culture conditioning shaped the way we view the world and the way we interact with one another. In short, culture has such an overwhelming influence on communication. The famous anthropologist Edward W. once remarked ―culture is communication and communication is culture‖. Statements: 1: This report is urgent I have to finish typing it by Monday morning, so there goes my sleep this weekend. 2: What this office needs is better sound-proofing. I can’t concentrate here with all that traffic passing by on the street below. 3: Learning a language is a laborious (15:17) process, and adjusting to this subtle cultural differences require much more time and patience than anyone can imagine. 4: If you can talk your boss into investing in that project, it will be a turning point for your company and we both shall benefit in the long run. 5: I am afraid we’ve undercharged them; the invoice doesn’t include the legal fee and our agency’s commission. I think we need to inform. them about this immediately.

三级口译真题 2019上半年CATTI口译三级真题（英译汉） Last night, when I was coming into town from Pudong Airport, I crossed the beautiful Huangpu River on the Lupu Bridge. This reminded me of China’s talent in making bridges and made me think of three other important bridges. Bridge number one: 40 years ago, China started to build a “bridge to the world” by opening its economy and by kickstarting reforms that have changed the lives and prospects of hundreds of millions of people—here and beyond China. By transforming itself—through trade, hard work, and learning from others—China has also helped to transform the global economy. Progress in this country has played a significant role in boosting productivity, innovation and living standards in countries around the world. Yes, there is always more work to be done. On these bridges, you don’t want traffic jams. There is room for even greater openness in China’s domestic market, which can help

2003年12月英语三级口译实务试题及答案
2003年12月英语三级口译实务试题 试题部分： Part I Listen to the following dialogue and interpret it as required. After you hear a sentence or a short passage in Chinese, interpret it into English by speaking to the microphone. And after you hear an English sentence or short passage, interpret it into Chinese. You will hear the dialogue only once. 赵：“地球日”是怎么回事？什么时候开始的？都取得了哪些成就？ Smith: Earth Day was started in 1970. It was set to help raise the general public’s environmental awareness. For one thing, it provides a special day to remind people to take care of the Earth. It also gives special interest and environmental groups an opportunity to motivate their members to take action in their communities. 赵：听起来不错。可就在环保取得成绩的同时，人口膨胀，臭氧层空洞，全球气候变暖这些问题一点也没有改善。地球人口越多，资源消耗的越多，产生的垃圾 也越多，到时连种粮食的地都没有了怎么办？对此我们决不可掉以轻心。Smith: That is certainly true. By the year 2005, there will be 7 billion people on the planet. I personally think that recycling is the answer. Paper, metal, rubber, oil, and many other materials are going to have to be recycled on a much greater scale. Everyone will have to be involved. Perhaps even special legislation will be required. It is true that we are losing millions of hectares every year to housing and roads. But there is still a lot of undeveloped land that could be used for both farming and housing. And science and technology is helping us to get more out of the land that is used for farming. 赵：那么今年“地球日”你打算都干点什么呢？ Smith: I will probably attend our city’s annual “Earth Day” celebrations and then help pick up the mountain of garbage left over. Part II Interpret the following passage from English to Chinese. On August 31, 1997, Lady Diana Spencer, former wife of Charles, Prince of Wales, was killed with her companion Dodi Fayed in a car accident in Paris. Tests conducted by French police indicated that the driver, who also died in the crash, was intoxicated and likely caused the accident while trying to escape the paparazzi photographers who consistently tailed Diana during any public outing. Sixteen years earlier, nearly four billion people in 74 countries had tuned in to witness the marriage of Prince Charles, heir to the British throne, to Lady Diana, a young English schoolteacher. Married in a grand ceremony at St Paul’s Cathedral in the presence of 2,650 guests, the couple’s romance was for the moment the envy of the world. However, before long the fairy-tale couple grew apart, an experience that was particularly painful under the ubiquitous eyes of the world’s tabloid media. In August 1996, two months after Queen Elizabeth II urged the couple to divorce, the prince and princess reached a final agreement. In exchange for a generous settlement, and the right to retain her apartments at Kensington Palace and her title of princess, Diana agreed to relinquish the title of “Her Royal Highness” and any future claims to the British throne. In the year between the divorce and her fatal car accident, the popular princess seemed well on her way of achieving her dream of becoming “a queen in people’s hearts.”
