2012年3月高级口译上半场阅读及答案
本帖最后由细草微风于 2012-3-19 14:53 编辑高口上半场阅读第一篇：本文内容为2012春季高口阅读上半场MC第一篇，原文出自businessweek，原文标题为MIT Professor Gives Language Lessons to Computers。
MIT Professor Gives Language Lessons to ComputersThere‘s a scene in the 2008 movie Iron Man where Tony Stark, the film‘s inventor-superhero, threatens to donate one of his robots to a city college. You can tell by its cowed response that the computerized assistant understands th e connotation is decidedly negative. In real life, software can‘t yet comprehend that kind of abstract scolding. Programmers refer to such banter as ―natural language,‖ and it‘s tricky for computers to get because of its ambiguity and dependence on context.Regina Barzilay, an associate professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, is trying to make computers better listeners by making themplay Civilization, a 20-year-old strategy game in which players build a cityinto an empire by vanquishing and absorbing neighboring cultures. A member of MIT‘s Computer Science & Artificial Intelligence Lab, Barzilay, 40, developed a software program that begins with no grasp of the game. The computer ―reads‖ the manual and then keeps returning to it while play ing. As it races through thousands of simulations, the computer learns to connect words in the directions (―attack,‖ ―build,‖ ―capture,‖ and ―revolt‖) as the game unfolds.The computer gets positive reinforcement—a higher score and a win—when it makes correct guesses about the meaning of words. When the computer loses, it traces back through its reading of the manual to see where its interpretation went wrong. A similar program without access to the manual won the game 46 percent of the time; after reading the instructions,Barzilay‘s computer won 79 percent of the time.Barzilay grew interested in natural-language processing in the early 1990s, as an undergraduate at Ben-Gurion University in Beersheba, Israel. She was inspired in part by her own experience as a young emigrant from Moldavia who had to learn Hebrew and English. Just as she struggled at first tounderstand the use of articles such as ―the,‖ which have no equivalent in her native Russian, logic-based computers have difficulties with the inconsistencies of natural language.Research like Barzilay‘s may help computers eventually interact with humans in a more normal way. ―You‘d like to be able to ask for the largest state bordering New York and have it come back with the answer, ‗Pennsylvania,‘‖ says Dan Roth, a computer science professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign who does work similar to Barzilay‘s. ―And what happens inside the computer is none of your business.‖ Barzilay has been pushing this line of work forward, he says, in part by using a more interesting and complex game. She has a grant from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency to help robots understand natural language, not unlike those in Iron Man. As she puts it: ―I want to see the computer benefit directly from human knowledge, without having a person in the middle who does a translation.‖本文出自美国商业类主流杂志《商业周刊》。

2012.3.18中级口译真题+答案Spot Dictation 原文+评析Music affects us as profoundly as anything we experience. Very many people say that music is a big part of their everyday life. We can hear evidence of this in the blurring car radio and see the jogger with his personal stereo. That is the new portability of music. That brings it everywhere people live, play and work.There are different kinds of music , for all tastes –classical, pop, rock, rap, jazz, folk –each culture has its own style. Different parts of the body resonate to different sounds and pitches, and most significantly, certain kinds of music resound powerfully in the human spirit.We can listen to music anywhere and everywhere.Listening to music can change your mood –sometimes dramatically. Some times, if you’re feeling low, it’s tempting to play slow sad music, but this would make you feel worse. And lifting tune or cheerful song can instantly improve your energy levels and your emotional well being.Music in film and television shows us how music can affect mood. A romantic drama would have a very different film score to a thriller. The old ―silent‖ films originally had a pianist in the cinema playing along, trying to strike the right mood. At times, when watching a film or TV programme, you k now what’s about to happen because of the music being played –you can anticipate the terror, such as in ―Jaws‖. There’re many times when I’ve turn down the sound during a TV programme and use subtitles because the music unsettles means so much.Playing Mozart when studying is said to increase our IQ. A recent study has showed that children who learn a musical instrument are much quicker at developing spatial awareness and problem solving skills.Relaxation music has a slow rhythm. Sounds are often synthesised and there may be added natural sounds, such as whalesong, birdsong, waves or gentle rain to help produce a feeling of calm and relaxation.点评：这是一篇关于各种音乐与人之间的关系的文章。

2012年3月上海高级口译英译汉真题(总分：100.00，做题时间：90分钟)一、英译汉(总题数：1，分数：100.00)1. August was once a time for dreaming, wandering the empty streets of this city, reading silly-season newspaper stories after a leisurely lunch, gazing at square where fountains plashed and the pregnant or the old chatted on benches at dusk. Then something happened. The world speeded up. Stress levels soared. Idle moments evaporated. Egos expanded. Money outpaced politics. Rages surged. August aborted this year. It morphed into the serious season. The beach lost out to the barricades. A time of outrage is upon us. Now a feeling has grown in Western societies that uncontrollable forces are at work shrinking possibility. History has never seen a global power shift as radical as the current one that managed to be peaceful. Growth, jobs, expansion, excitement-and, yes, possibility-lie in the great non-Western arc from China through India to South Africa and Brazil. The world has been turned upside down. What we are witnessing is how shaken Western societies are by such inversion. As new powers emerge, globalization has altered the relationship between capital and labor in the former's favor. Returns on capital have proved higher relative to wages. The gap between rich and poor has become a gulf. The only people who walked away unscathed from the great financial binge were its main architects and greatest beneficiaries: such as bankers and financiers. This, too, is fueling a time of outrage that has left western politicians chasing shadows.（分数：100.00）__________________________________________________________________________________________ 正确答案：( 八月曾是一段梦想的时光，任你倘佯在这座城市空空荡荡的街道上，悠闲自得地享用午餐后，读读无聊季节无重大新闻的报纸，黄昏时分，凝神看着广场上喷泉飞溅，孕妇、老人在长凳上闲聊家常。

阅读理解第四篇：However attractive the figures may look on paper, in the long run the success or failure of a merger depends on the human factor. When the agreement has been signed and the accountants have departed, the real problems may only just be beginning. If there is a culture clash between the two companies in the way their people work, then all the efforts of the financiers and lawyers to strike a deal may have been in vain.According to Chris Bolton of KS Management Consultants, 70% of mergers fail to live up to their promise of shareholder value, riot through any failure in economic terms but because the integration of people is unsuccessful. Corporates, he explains, concentrate their efforts before a merger on legal, technical and financial matters. They employ a range of experts to obtain the most favourable contract possible. But even at these early stages, people issues must be taken into consideration. The strengths and weaknesses of both organisations should be assessed and, if it is a merger of equals, then careful thought should be given to which personnel, from which side, should take on the key roles.This was the issue in 2001 when the proposed merger between two pharmaceutical companies promised to create one of the largest players in the industry. For both companies the merger was intended to reverse falling market share and shareholder value. However, although the companies' skill bases were compatible, the chief executives of the two companies could not agree which of them was to head up the new organisation. This illustrates the need to compromise if a merger is to take place.But even in mergers that do go ahead, there can be culture clashes. One way to avoid this is to work with focus groups to see how employees view the existing culture of their organisation. In one example, where two global organisations in the food sector were planning to merge, focus groups discovered that the companies displayed very different profiles. One was sales-focused, knew exactly what it wanted to achieve and pushed initiatives through. The other got involved in lengthy discussions, trying out options methodically and making contingency plans. The first responded quickly to changes in the marketplace;the second took longer, but the option it eventually chose was usually the correct one. Neither company's approach would have worked for the other.The answer is not to adopt one company's approach, or even to try to incorporate every aspect of both organisations, but to create a totally new culture. This means taking the best from both sides and making a new organisation that everyone can accept. Or almost everyone. Inevitably there will be those who cannot adapt to a different culture. Research into the impact of mergers has found that companies with differing management styles are the ones that need to work hardest at creating a new culture.Another tool that can help to get the right cultural mix is intercultural analysis. This involves carrying out research that looks at the culture of a company and the business culture of the country in which it is based. It identifies how people, money and time are managed in a company, and investigates the business customs of the country and how its politics, economics and history impact on the way business is done.1. According to the text, mergers can encounter problems whenA contracts are signed too quickly.B experts cannot predict accurate figures.C conflicting attitudes cannot be resolved.D staff are opposed to the terms of the deal.2. According to Chris Bolton, what do many organisations do in preparation fora merger?A ensure their interests are representedB give reassurances to shareholdersC consider the effect of a merger on employeesD analyse the varying strengths of their staff3. The proposed merger of two pharmaceutical groups failed becauseA major shareholders were opposed.B there was a fall in the demand for their products.C there were problems combining their areas of expertise.D an issue of personal rivalry could not be resolved.4. According to the text, focus groups can help companies toA develop new initiatives.B adopt contingency plans.C be decisive and react rapidly.D evaluate how well matched they are.5.Creating a new culture in a newly merged organisation means thatA management styles become more flexible.B there is more chance of the merger working.C staff will find it more difficult to adapt to the changes.D successful elements of the original organisations are lost.6. According to the text, intercultural analysis will showA what kind of benefits a merger can lead to.B how the national context affects the way a company is run.C how long it will take for a company culture to develop.D what changes companies should make before a merger takes place.参考答案及解析：《Achieving a successful merger》，实现一个成功的并购。

戒烟贵在坚持，坚持下去就是收获。
1、吸烟之危害，可谓大矣，其严重性是不能低估的。
The harm of smoking is tremendous and cannot estimate its danger.“可谓大矣”是汉语的说法，意思也就是“危害很大”，略做改动。
2、吸烟污染空气，损害健康，使肺癌发病率大大增加。
Smoking pollutes the air and damages the health, which greatly increases the incidence of lung cancer.本来想用air pollution来做的，后来觉得这个词太大了，所以还是用的动词形式。

In order to draw global attention to the prevalence of tobacco and the prevention of disease and death it course, the WHO (World Health Organization) has named May 31of each year as the World No-smoking Day.文中“各国人民”意思也就是世界人民，我用global代替了一下。

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.

SECTION 3: TRANSLATION TEST (30 minutes)
Directions:Translate the following passage into Chinese and write your version in the corresponding space in your ANSWER BOOKLET.
原文：
When I was young, there was an amazing publication called The Whole Earth Catalog, which was one of the bibles of my generation. It was created by a fellow named Stewart Brand not far from here in Menlo Park, and he brought it to life with his poetic touch. This was in the late 1960′s, before personal computers and desktop publishing, so it was all made with typewriters, scissors, and Polaroid cameras. It was sort of like Google in paperback form, 35 years before Google came along: it was idealistic, and overflowing with neat tools and great notions.
我年轻那会儿，有一本很棒的杂志，叫做《环球目录》，算得上我那一辈人的圣经之一。
创办这本杂志的人叫斯图尔特·布兰德，他就住在离这里不远的门罗帕克。
他用诗意的笔触为这本杂志赋予了生命。
那是六十年代末，个人电脑和桌面出版系统还未出现，因此整本杂志都是用打字机、剪刀和宝丽来相机制作完成的，有点像纸质版的谷歌搜索，但却比谷歌早出现了35年。
它是理想主义的，满篇都是灵巧的工具和伟大的见解。
Stewart and his team put out several issues of The Whole Earth Catalog, and then when it had run its course, they put out a final issue. It was the mid-1970s, and I was your age. On the back cover of their final issue was a photograph of an early morning country road, the kind you might find yourself hitchhiking on if you were so adventurous. Beneath it were the words: “Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.” I t was their farewell message as they signed off. Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish. And I have always wished that for myself. And now, as you graduate to begin anew, I wish that for you.
斯图尔特和他的团队推出了几期《环球目录》，当他们完成使命时，便出版了最后一期。
当时是70年代中期，那时的我和你们现在差不多大。
最后一期的封底上有一张照片，照片上是一条清晨的乡间小路。
如果你有冒险精神的话，在搭车出游时必然会去探寻这样的小路。
照片下方有这样一句话：“求知若饥，虚心若愚。
”这是他们停刊时留下的告别辞。
求知若饥，虚心若愚。
我一直都希望自己能做到这一点。
现在，在你们即将毕业，开始新的旅程的时候, 我也希望你们能这样做。
翻译评析：
这篇短文取自于乔布斯在斯坦福大学毕业典礼上的演讲。
语言比较口语化，词汇不难。
因为是演讲类短文，所以考生在翻译的时候大可以顺序驱动。
节选的这个短文有几处的词汇和短语大家可以注意下：
poetic：充满诗情画意的
idealistic: 理想主义的
run its course: 完成使命
hitchhiking: 搭乘
sign off: 停止签发，停止

参考译文：
Smoking does great harm to human and its gravity should not be underestimated. Smoking pollutes air, damages health, and increases the incidence of lung cancer. To arouse the awareness about the prevalence of tobacco in all the countries and to prevent smoking-induced diseases and deaths, the WHO (World Health Organization) has defined May 31st in every year as World
No-Tobacco Day.
The tobacco addicts say that smoking is impossible to quit because they could do without meals in a day but would feel tortured without tobacco in two hours. However, when one realizes that smoking is harmful in many ways but beneficial in no way and that it is a curse to others as well as to he himself, he will be determined to resist the temptation of tobacco. To quit smoking requires persistence and so long as one persi sts, he’ll be rewarded.
点评：
这篇文章的主题是大家都很熟悉的“戒烟”。
开篇的一些比较文言化的词如“之”，“矣”，以及后面的习语“有百害而无一利”，“于人于己”等完全是“纸老虎”，大家根本不用害怕，只要将句子的大意弄懂，然后用白话文译出即可化解难题。
另外如“世界卫生组织”这样的专有名词，切记不要译错，这种平时常见而考试常考的高频词，必须牢记。
