Part II 实践与实战10.1 Extreme Sports 极限运动口译教程P76音频位置：实践与实战10.1In the past, young sportspeople would play hockey or baseball. Today, they want risk and excitement –the closer to the edge the better. They snowboard over cliffs and mountain-bike down steep mountains. They wind-surf near hurricanes, go white-water rafting through rapids, and bungee-jump from towers.Extreme sports started as an alternative to more expensive sports. A city kid who didn’t have the money to buy expensive sports equipment could g et a skateboard and have fun. But now it has become a whole new area of sport, requiring specialized equipment and high levels of skill. There’s even a special Olympics for extreme sports, called the Winter X-Games, which include snow mountain-biking and ice-climbing. An Extreme Games competition is held each summer in Rhode Island. It features sports such as sky-surfing, where people jump from airplanes with surfboards attached to their feet.What makes extreme sports so popular? I think the main reason is that people love the thrill. City people in particular want to be outdoors on weekends and do something challenging. With the new equipment available today people can take greater risks without getting hurt. And the risk itself is part of the appeal. Once you have been mountain biking or snow-boarding, it’s impossible to go back to cycling or skiing. They are just too boring.Extreme sports are certainly not for everyone. Most people still prefer to play baseball or basketball or watch sports on TV. But extreme sports are definitely gaining in popularity. These fresh and exciting sports could well be the wave of the future.10.1 Extreme Sports 极限运动译文过去，爱好体育的年轻人玩的是曲棍球或棒球，如今他们追求的是冒险和刺激――越接近极限越好。

Uni t TwoCeremonial AddressUnit Objectives（单元目标）After reading this unit, you shouldunderstand how to makea short-term preparation for the interpreting tasks.find ways to improve your interpreting skills and performance.master the basic words and expressions about ceremonial address.know some cultural background knowledge about ceremonial address.I. Interpreting Skills( 口译技能 )Read the following presentation about short-term preparation.Try tounderstand what and how to prepare for the interpreting tasks in theshort run. Then complete the following task:Suppose you are going to work as an interpreter for a businessman whois going to make a ceremonial address. How are you going to preparefor it and what questions are you going to ask if you are able to contactthe organizer or the speaker before the interpretation starts? Workin groups and work out a question list.Preparing Training (II): Short-term Preparation（短期准备）Short-term preparation in interpreting refers to the job that can only beprepared shortly before the interpreting task is taken. In contrast with long-termpreparation,short-term preparation is more direct and concrete,as each interpreting task is different from one another. The interpreter works for different speakers and on different subjects. In real interpreting situations,pre-interpreting preparation is usually referred to as short-term preparation.What to Prepare?After an interpreter has accepted an interpreting assignment, they shall start to prepare for the task immediately. Following are the essential items that theinterpreter shall prepare.1. Meeting DocumentsThe meeting documents are a great help to the interpreters. It is advisable for interpreters to ask the organizer to provide the complete documentation（文件） and background information for the task as early as possible, such as the meeting schedule （时间表） , list of participants（参加者）, introduction of the keynotespeakers （主题发言人） etc. He must try to understand“who is the speaker? whatis the subject?what is the occasion? who is the audience? and what type of speech is it?” .2. A Glossary ListAfter getting the documents, the interpreter is then able to know the topics and subjects he is going to deal with. At this time, an experienced interpreterwill work out a list of glossary and terminology （术语）he will potentially encounterin interpreting. A prepared glossary list sometimes helps the interpreter out when he comes across new words.3. Dictionaries, Notebooks and PensInterpreting is often done in an uncertain situation. There are always somewords and expressions beyond the interpreter ’s mind and preparation.In this case, some classified dictionaries（分类词典） may be of great help. An experienced interpreter always brings certain dictionaries, which they can consult wheneverpossible. In addition, note-books and pens are also necessary in interpreting. As interpreters usually take notes in interpreting, two top-opening notebooks（竖翻式笔记本）and knock-gell pens（按压式水笔）are therefore recommended for interpreters to carry.Such note books and pens are easily handled in interpreting situations.4. Dresses and Name CardsIn addition, interpreters should know the general dress code（着装要求） before the meeting starts. Interpreters are always expected to dress appropriately andbehave respectfully when they attend the meeting. Moreover, business cards（名片） are also necessary as interpreters sometimes receive name cards from theorganizer and the speakers. Therefore, interpreters should prepare their own cards to offer them in return. Otherwise, it would make them embarrassed.How to Prepare?The following three ways are suggested that interpreter do when making short-term pre-interpreting preparation.1. Read through the Relevant DocumentsBefore an interpreter begins to work, he should read through the documents heis able to obtain and organize all the documents in an easily recognizable way sothat he can find them immediately when the speaker is delivering his speech. Ifhe has translated some of the texts beforehand, he should also classify the translated texts and put them in order.2. Surf the InternetThere is plenty of information in Internet. By surfing the net, the interpreter may find some important information that is related to the interpreting tasks,such as the background of the key-note speakers; the introduction to the related organizations etc.. It is suggested that interpreters find an Internet access and make full use of it.3. Contact the Organizer and the SpeakerBriefings（碰头会）are potentially a very useful part of advance preparation. They are meetings organized for the interpreter, with the participation of theorganizer and the speakers. At the briefing, the interpreter can ask specificquestions and get some general information. Sometimes, some speakers have strong accents. If possible, interpreters should attempt chance to talk personally withsuch participants before the real task begins so as to be familiar with their accents and improve the accuracy of the interpretation.4. Prepare a question listBefore taking the interview with the organizer and the speaker, interpretersare supposed to prepare a question list（提问单）in advance, as both the organizer and the speaker are usually rather busy. The questions must be to the point. Aprepared question list will be of great help during the interviews. Following isa sample question list:A Sample Question ListTo Organizer:1.May I have the schedule? Will there be any changes about the schedule?2. Is it possible for me to have the speakers’ speech drafts or ppt slides?3.Who will attend the conference? Is there a Q & A session?4.Who are the key-note speakers? How can I get in touch with them?To Speaker:1.How long will the speech last?2.What are your main points? Are you going to add or cut any points?3.Are you going to use any technical terms?4.May I have your draft or ppt slides?II. Phrase Interpreting( 短语口译 )Work on the following words and phrases. Interpret them into Chineseand English respectively.A.English to Chinese1.Take this opportunity2. Cherish3.Signing ceremony4. Witness5.Extend sincere thanks to⋯.6. Appreciatest but not least8.

1.是指反应快：译员要能听词取意，得“意”忘 “形”，快速理解讲话人的“真情实意”，反应迟缓 就无法胜任译员高强度的工作；
2.是指记笔记要快：译员不可能也不必记录下讲 话人的所有词句，而只需以快捷务实的方式记下一些 关键词、省略词、符号等，否则就跟不上讲话人的节 奏；

Part II 实践与实战11.1.中医的魅力口译基础P198音频位置：实践与实战11.1如今，隔三差五坐飞机来北京看中医的外国人屡见不鲜。
日前，一位患病的美国医生给北京中医医院打来越洋长途，跟内科专家张志真预约下次看病的时间。
不愿接受激素治疗的他，每三个月坐着飞机到中国来看一次中医，因为确实见效，已坚持了一年多。
像这样的外国人还有很多，他们中有带着病寻访名医的；有旅游累了让中医给放松放松的；也有“小病大养”，要求在这里住院，顺便享受一下药膳和药浴的；还有什么病都没有，就为专程来瞧瞧中医是怎么看病的。
在他们眼里，中医的针灸推拿是那么神秘和优雅。
不远万里看中医，外籍患者的病可谓五花八门。
大到肿瘤，心脏病，小到失眠，肥胖。
各国对中医中药的了解也不尽相同，日本人特别信按摩推拿，欧洲人对针灸情有独钟，美国人爱拔火罐。
时间一长，大夫们总结出外国人看中医的一些规律：圣诞节前后是他们就诊的高峰期，好多人都是利用长假来中国旅游加看病。
外国人对中医中药表现出的虔诚出乎中医大夫们的意料。
一位喀麦隆患者吃过中药后，称中药为“苦咖啡”，并告诉同伴喝“苦咖啡”是一种享受。
皮肤科医生告诉一位法国牛皮癣患者应该注意饮食，病人立刻掏出小本，将什么能吃，什么不能吃一字不落地开出单子。
看来，中医的魅力还真的不小。
11.1.中医的魅力译文Many foreigners fly to Beijing for traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) treatment. The other day, an American patient made a long-distance phone call for a reservation with Doctor Zhang Zhizhen at Beijing Chinese Medical Hospital. Instead of using hormones, he has flown to China every three months for Chinese medical treatment. And it has worked. He kept seeing Chinese doctors for over a year. He is not alone. Some foreigners seek famous doctors for treatment, some just feel tired in their travel and want relaxation through TCM, some simply want to enjoy medical food and baths, and some come all the way here just to see how people are treated with TCM. In their eyes, TCM, like massage and cupping, are very mysterious and graceful.Their diseases are varied, like tumors, heart disease, insomnia and obesity. Their understanding of TCM also differs: Japanese believe in massage, Europeans favor acupuncture, Americans like cupping. Some experienced doctors find the time before and after Christmas is the peak season for treatment, because during the holiday the foreign patients can travel to China to see a doctor.The foreigners’ devotion is beyond TCM doctors’ expectation. A Cameroonian patient called TCM “bitter coffee”, and recommended it to his countrymen as a sort of enjoyment. A psoriasis patient from France, when being given by the doctor some tips on diet, carefully noted down every word of the instruction. These examples can show how much fascination TCM has.11.2 Medical Advice 口译基础P199音频位置：实践与实战11.2It is never nice to fall sick or ill in a strange country. What happens if you do and need to seek medical help? Let us provide you with some useful medical advice and tips regarding seeking medical help or assistance in China.Though many hospitals in China practice Western medical treatment system, a good percentage practice traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Increasingly, a large percentage of hospitals now practice a mixture of Western and Chinese medicine. Some can offer a full range of medical services such as operations, check-ups and in-patient facilities while other smaller clinics may simply be able to diagnose the symptoms of minor ailments.The first thing you should know about local medical services is the emergency call number 120. You can call 120 from anywhere. An ambulance will normally arrive in a few minutes but traffic conditions can cause delays.Most Chinese will visit a local hospital. If your company doesn’t cover medical expenses or you can’t find a Western clinic because you are in a much smaller town, you can also try visiting a local Chinese hospital. If you wish to do what the Chinese do, and you’ve decided to see a doctor in a local public hospital, you should have an interpreter accompany you as most of the doctors and nurses don’t speak English fluently.Treatments are mostly western medical techniques including diagnosis, medication, injection or the necessary scans. However, medications can be a mixture of Western and Chinese drugs. Your doctor may give you a prescription for you to buy medicine in a drugstore, most of the time at the lobby of the out-patient section building. Go to a drugstore, show the chemist the prescription and you’ll be given what you need. M edicines in independent drugstores are often cheaper than those in hospital pharmacies.11.2 Medical Advice 译文在陌生的国家生病从来都不是什么好事。
但是你真要看病时，该怎么办？以下是对外国人在中国就医时的一些建议。
中国很多医院都是用西医，不过也有很多用中医，而且现在越来越多的医院采用中西医结合疗法。
有的医院设施齐全，可以动手术、做检查或住院；而小的诊所只能看一些小病。
首先你要记住的就是急救电话120。
这个号码任何地方都可以拨打。
除非堵车，一般来说救护车几分钟就到。
大部分中国人会就近看病。
如果你的公司不报销医药费用，或因为你所在的城市太小找不到西式医院，不妨试试当地的中医院。
如果你打算像中国人那样去当地公立医院看病，就必须找个翻译，因为大部分医生和护士英语都不够流利。
医院的治疗基本上都是西方的医疗技术，包括门诊，开药，打针或必要的扫描。
不过，也有中西医结合的药品。
医生或许会给你开个处方，你再去药房买药，一般是在门诊大楼的大厅。
你去药房向药剂师出示你的处方，就会拿到药了。
医院外面的药房药价尝尝会便宜一些。
