Our cruel and unrelenting enemy leaves us the choice of brave resistance or the most abject submission. We have, therefore, to resolve to conquer or to die.Our own, our country‘s honor, calls upon us for a vigorous and manly e xertion; and if we now shamefully fail, we shall become infamous to the whole world. Let us then rely on the goodness of our cause, and the aid of the Supreme Being, in whose hands victory is, to animate and encourage us to great and noble actions. The eyes of all our countrymen are now upon us, and we shall have the blessings and praises, if happily we are the instruments of saving them from the tyranny meditated against them. Let us animate and encourage each other, and show the whole world that a free man contending for liberty on his own ground is superior to any slavish mercenary on earth.分析：① The fate of unborn millions will now depend, under God, on the courage and conduct of this army.译文一：苍天之下，数/ 千百万我们的后代/ 尚未出生的人，命系/ 其命运将取决于我们这支军队的勇气和斗志/ 表现。

These round flatcakes (1)，or patties actually came from Germany in the middle of the 19th century. They were brought to theUnited States by German immigrants (2) who came from the city of Hamburg. That is why their name (3) wasHamburger Stake.However, people in other places claim (4) that they invented the hamburger. Perhaps we'll never have a clearanswer.(5) But there is no question that the hamburger was a great hit.(6) Why? Perhaps because at that time,industry was growing, and the kind of fast, practical and cheap (7) food was needed for workers.The hamburger became even more popular in the 1920 s (8) when the first chain of fast food restaurants wasstarted. This chain was called White Castle. It served tiny hamburgers that were sold for only 5 cents each. (9)Then, in the 1940 s there came the drive-in restaurant (10) where customers were served in their cars by waitersin uniform. And the hamburger was one of the most popular manual items. (11)By now, the hamburger was ready to conquer (12) the world. And this happened with McDonalds, which wasactually a hotdog stand (13) at first. But by the early 1950 s the hotdog was replaced by the hamburger.McDonalds and other fast food restaurants spring up (14) around the world throughout the west of the 20thcentury. McDonalds alone has sold 12 hamburgers (15) for every person in the world.The importance of the hamburger to US culture (16) remains significant. About 60% (17) of all sandwiches thatare eaten are hamburgers. According to some sources, 7% (18) of current workers in the Untied States had theirfirst job at McDonalds. But the face of the hamburger is changing according to the times. (19) Nowadays it ispossible to buy a chicken burger, a turkey burger, a fish burger,(20) or a veggie burger.Listening translationSentence Translation1. Please hold my telephone calls and just take a message. I can call back later.I must have a little peace andquiet to concentrate on these figures.请别挂断我的电话，先留个言，我会回电。

2004年3月公共英语三级考试真题及答案2
SECTION Ⅲ Reading Comprehension(40 minutes) Part A Directions: Read the following three texts. Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. Text 1 Bum rate is the speed at which a startup business consumes money. My rate would be $ 50,000 a month when my new media company started. So, I began looking around for individuals who would be my first investors. “Angel money” it was called. But when I reviewed my list of acquaintances to find those who might be able to help, I found the number got small. With no other choices, I began meeting with the venture-capital companies. But I was warned they took a huge share of your company for the money they put in. And if you struggled, they could drop you cold. As I was searching for “angel money”, I started to build a team who trusted me even though I didn't have money for paychecks yet. Bill Becker was an expert in computer programming and image processing at a very famous Media Lab at M. I.T. With his arrival, my company suddenly had a major technology “guy” in-house. Katherine Henderson, a filmmaker and a former real-estate dealer, joined us as our director of market research. Steve White came on as operating officer. He had worked for the developer of a home-finance software, Quicken. We grabbed him. We had some really good people, but we still didn't have enough money. One night, my neighbor, Louise Johnson, came for a visit. She and I were only nodding acquaintances, but her boys and ours were constant companions. She ran a very good business at the time. Louise was brilliant and missed nothing. She had been watching my progress closely. She knew I was dying for money and I had prospects but could offer no guarantees of success. She told me that her attorney had talked to mine and the terms had been agreed upon. She handed me an envelope. Inside was a check for $ 500,000. I almost fell down. I heard her voice as if from heaven. “I have confidence in your plan,” she said. “You' 11 do well. You're going to work hard for it, but it' s satisfying when you build your own company.” Who would have thought I'd find an angel so close to home? There were no words sufficient for the moment. We just said good night. She left and I just stood there, completely humbled and completely committed. 46. For a newly-established business, bum rate refers to___________. [ A ] the salary it pays to its staff [ B ] the interest it pays to the bank [ C ] the way in which it raises capital [ D ] the speed at which it spends money 47. By "Angel money", the author refers to__________. [ A ] the money borrowed from banks [ B ] the money spent to promote sales [ C ] the money raised from close friends [ D ] the money needed to start a business 48. To get help from a venture-capital company, you may have to__________. [ A ] put up with unfair terms [ B ] change your business line [ C ] enlarge your business scope [ D ] let them operate your business 49. The author easily built a team for his company because__________. [ A ] they were underpaid at their previous jobs [ B ] they were turned down by other companies [ C ] they were confident of the author and his business [ D ] they were satisfied with the salaries in his company 50. Louise decided to lend money to the author because__________. [ A ] she wanted to join his company [ B ] she knew he would build a team [ C ] she knew his plan would succeed [ D ] she wanted to help promote his sales Text 2 Nearly all “speed reading” courses have a “pacing” element--some timing device which lets the student know how many words a minute he is reading. You can do this simply by looking at your watch every 5 or 10 minutes and noting down the page number you have reached. Check the average number of words per page for the particular book you are reading. How do you know when 5 minutes has passed on your watch if you are busy reading the book? Well, this is difficult at first. A friend can help by timing you over a set period, or you can read within hearing distance of a pub-lic clock which strikes the quarter hours. Pace yourself every three or four days, always with the same kind of easy, general interest books. You should soon notice your accustomed w. p.m. rate creeping up. Obviously there is little point in increasing your w. p. m. rate if you do not understand what you are reading. When you are consciously trying to increase your reading speed, stop after every chapter ( if you are reading a novel) or every section or group of ten or twelve pages ( if it is a text-book) and ask yourself a few questions about what you have been reading. If you find you have lost the thread of the story, or you cannot remember clearly the details of what was said, reread the section or chapter. You can also try “lightning speed” exercise from time to time. Take four or five pages of the general interest book you happen to be reading and read them as fast as you possibly can. Do not bother about whether you understand or not. Now go back and read them at what you feel to be your "normal" w. p. m. rate, the rate at which you can comfortably understand. After a ‘lightning speed' reading through (probably 600 w. p. m. ) you will usually find that your “normal” speed has increased-perhaps. by as much as 50-100 w. p.m. This is the technique sportsmen use when they usually run further in training than they will have to on the day of the big race. 51. According to the passage, a “pacing” device_________. [ A ]is used to time student' s reading speed [ B ]is. not used in most, speed reading courses [ C ] is used as .an aid to vocabulary learning [ D ] should be used whenever we read alone 52. In speed reading, looking at your watch every 5 or 10 minutes_________. [ A ] avoids the need for reading faster [ B ] is not the same as pacing [ C ] may seem unworkable at first [ D ] helps you to remember your page number 53. When you are reading a novel, you should check your understanding of the content after_______. [ A ] every chapter [ B ] every section [ C ] every four or five pages [ D ] every ten or twelve pages 54. The purpose of the “lightning speed” exercise is to_________. [ A ] increase your speed by scanning the text first [ B ] test your maximum reading speed [ C ] help you understand more of the content of the book [ D ] enable you to win reading races against your friends 55. The best title for this passage would be_________. [ A ] Hints for Successful Reading [ B ] Hints for Speed Reading [ C ] Effective Reading [ D ] Lightning Speed Exercises。
中级口译英译汉真题集
2000.3Information and communications are central to modern society and organizations. Oneapproach to understand the working environment is to consider an organization as acommunications system. An organization that has open lines of communication with valid,honest information going up, down, and throughout the organization will be much more effectiveand a much better place to work than the organization that attempts to restrict the flow ofinformation or distort and deceive. When leadership attempts to keep workers in the dark,workers tend to become distrustful. This undermines their cooperation. It is easy to understand the value and importance of open, honest communications and validinformation. Yet, few organizations are able to function in this manner. In the long run, poorcommunication will undermine the entire organization. Restricting communication anddistorting information aresymptoms of short-range thinking. We must avoid these stupid,short-sighted traps and constantly strive for and open communications system with objectiveinformation.信息和交流对现代社会和机构是非常重要的。
中级口译中译英参考答案
2003年3月如果发生可怕的通货紧缩即价格的全面下降，则其原因与美国紧密相关，但欧洲和日本也难逃其咎。
美国具有投机性质的经济繁荣不可避免会崩溃，但是如果其他经济强国能够健康发展的话，美国经济的衰落本不会有这样巨大的破坏作用。
这些国家日益扩大的经济需求，本来可能有助于美国和巴西、南韩等所谓的新兴市场经济国家。
可问题是，这些国家的经济状况也远非理想。
如果世界上三大经济体同时遭受经济衰退，通货紧缩就可能出现。
价格之所以下降，是因为全球范围内，需求太小，供给太多—从钢材到鞋子，莫不如此。
日本的诸多问题广为人知，银行坏账肆虐。
但起码在美国，不太为人所知的是，欧洲的种种问题主要来源于德国。
如同日本是亚洲“病夫”一样，德国可谓欧洲“病夫”。
仅仅15年前，这些国家还跃跃欲试，准备领导世界经济，今天却已沦为巨大的拖累。
2003年9月二战开始以来，各大高校规模扩大，本科毕业生和博士毕业生人数激增。
这些，催生了一大批技术人员、助理人员、撰稿人、符号编制人员、调研人员和政策献言人。
现在他们在各类组织中，受雇于精明能干之士。
这些人，因为与符号和观念打交道，而被称之为知识分子。
他们已经完全像工程技术人员一样，职业化了。
但与工程技术人员不一样的是，这些职业知识分子无须从事繁重的日常例行工作—他们仅承担少量教学工作，同时享受政府及各类基金会科研拨款和津贴。
教授的课题预算是其在高校内赖以独立的首要经济基础。
课题预算使得研究生得以存在，并使得高校具有资金偿还能力，因为从每项课题预算中，高校都要抽取一定百分比的管理费。
不管是来自政府还是商界，课题经费的主要特征都是，它是以合约为基础的，不同课题立有不同合约。
因此，科研人员的独立性取决于他是否有能力获取一系列合约。
获取合约的能力是职业知识分子的一种真正才能。
2004年3月八年来，密歇根州州立大学的学生都是直接从联邦政府贷得学费的。
但去年春天，学校有关负责人取消了这一措施，转而与私营贷款业者和一家州立机构签订合约。
中级口译2004-09真题答案
2004年9月中级口译笔试题目参考答案Part A: Spot DictationTravelling by air is one of the major conveniences of modern times. So last summer when we planned a holiday abroad, we decided to take advantage of such a modern, convenient means of transportation (1).We began preparations for our trip early by calling the airline and making a reservation (2).A few days later we received our tickets telling us our flight number and the times of departure(3) from our city and arrival at our destination. We were advised to arrive at the airline terminal an hour before takeoff in order to check in (4) for our flight, receive our seat assignments (5), and check our baggage. It is important not to be late, or you might miss the flight. On the day of the flight, we went to the ticket counter(6) where we were directed to the waiting area(7) of the gate from which the airplane would depart. As we entered this area we were checked through security system (8). While we were waiting, I noticed how busy everyone was.

One of the most annoying aspects of air travel at holiday season is the possibility of losing your luggage(18). I always try to carry with me enough clothing(19) for several days. On the whole, however, traveling by air is worth the expense(20).

Dolphins, like whales, must surface to breathe air through a blowhole on top of their heads. Dolphins are social animals and love company. Many of them, in fact, even enj oy being around humans. It is not uncommon to hear of dolphins giving rides through the water to humans.In addition to being playful, dolphins are helpful to men. For example, as 400 B. C. the Greek poet Arion was saved from drowning by a dolphin. From then until now, dolphins have been helping swimmers who are in trouble. Swimmers, however, are not the only humans they help. In some parts of the world, they can be counted on to help men catch fish.Moreover, dolphins are very intelligent. A dolphin's brain resembles a human brain, but it is larger. Consequently, some people claim that dolphins are really smarter than men. Of course, there is no way of proving this point. Brain size is not an absolute measure of intelligence. Furthermore, measuring dolphins' intelligence in other ways is not possible since men cannot fully communicate with them. Apparently, however, dolphins communicate with each other. At any rate, they make whistling, clicking and buzzing sounds which seem to be at least a form of language. So far, however, men have not been able to figure out the communication code the dolphins use.每年春季，数以万计的中外客商云集申城，参加一年一度的华东出口品交易会。
中级口译历年翻译真题
英译中The shape of the world is changing almost as dramatically as this city's skyline. Today the cold war is over. The risk of the global nuclear conflict has been greatly reduced and the free flow of goods and ideas is bringing to life the concept of a global village. But just as all nations can benefit from the promise of this new world, no nation is immune to its perils. We all have a stake in building peace and prosperity, and in confronting threats that respects no borders—terrorism and drug trafficking, disease and environmental destruction. To meet these challenges most effectively, China and the United States must act in concert. Some argue that with the Cold War's end, the strategic importance of the US-China relationship has diminished. I believe they have it exactly backwards. As a new century begins, the importance of strengthening the ties between the United States and China will grow even greater.【参考译文】世界的面貌正在发生引人注目的变化，其变化之快几乎就象这座城市德空中轮廓。

中口翻译真题 2004-201004年9月英译中As individuals and as a nation, we're defined by the choices we make. And too often, by the tough decisions we avoid. Most of us have avoided even thinking about how our rapidly growing population is affecting our quality of life and shaping our society.Our population has more than doubled since World War II, and at this rate, we could be on our way to 1 billion people living in the United States by the end of the century. Our population growth, driven in part by unchecked immigration, is already straining our healthcare and educational systems and, less noticeably — but far more important — putting a heavy burden on our natural resources.All these pressures on our resources will only worsen unless our leaders begin a national dialogue on the future of this country and start making the tough choices. Politicians are avoiding debate on these issues because they are the most difficult ones to confront. In campaign debating, these are wedge issues. But failure to come to terms with them will drive a wedge between all of us and a prosperous, healthy future for this country.【参考译文】无论是个人还是国家，我们的特性体现在我们所做的抉择中，而且常常体现在我们避免做出的艰难抉择中。

2004年3月翻译资格中级英语口译实务真题及答案
英译中
For 8 years, students at Michigan State University borrowed tuition money directly from the federal government. But last spring, university officials shucked that arrangement and signed up with private lenders and a state agency that provided loans under a separate federal plan. They guaranteed a profit to the university—something the federal government could not do. Sounds sweet for Michigan State, but it's not so terrific for federal taxpayers, who will almost certainly wind up shelling out $23.5 million more each year as a result of the change.
Michigan State is not unique. Today, dozens of colleges and universities are abandoning the Department of Education's direct-loan plan, lured by the promise of a quick buck from banks, state lending agencies, and most significantly, Sallie Mae, the giant private lender based in Reston, Virginia. In all, 62 colleges and universities have dropped out of the Education Department's direct-loan program since 2000, and the list is growing. Sallie Mae has won over $1 billion in loan business from former direct-loan schools.

八年以来，密歇根大学所需的学费贷款一直来自联邦政府。
但是去年春天，该大学决定停止办理这种贷款，而改为与一些私人贷款方和机构合作，由他们另行提供贷款。
密歇根大学这样做，可以保证自己获益，而联邦政府却做不到这一点。
对于密歇根来说，这当然是件好事。
可是联邦纳税人可没这么幸运了。
他们不得不因此每年多支付2350万美元。
实际上，密歇根并非唯一实施这种贷款政策的州。
现在，几十所大学放弃了与教育部的直接贷款计划。
之所以这样做，是因为他们看中了银行、州立贷款机构所许诺的快速回报。
Sallie Mae是其中的重要代表，其总部位于弗吉尼亚州莱斯顿市，是一家庞大的私有贷款机构。
自2000年以来，已有62所大学放弃了与教育部的直接贷款计划。
现在有越来越多的
大学逐渐加入其中。
目前，Sallie Mae已经从联邦政府手中赢得了总额达10亿美元以上的贷款业务。

The Chinese nation has always cherished peace. China’s rise, an achievement accomplished by our own efforts, symbolizes that peace has risen to the dominating position. In getting along with the foreign countries, we consistently adhere to the policy of making partnership and being friendly to the neighboring countries with an aim to seek a friendly cooperation with them.
China is and will continue, in a quite long time, to be a developing country. China has a population of 1.3 billion, which is the most important part in our national conditions. It is then no doubt that China ranks 138th per capita while its GDP totals 6th globally. We are now stil l facing serious problems that we can’t avoid such as unemployment, poverty, and unbalanced regional development. To catch up with the developed countries, several, even dozens of generations’ efforts are still expected.。
