UNIT4对话口译
(3)对话文本主持人:你好,很高兴你能来到演播室和大家分享你的经历。
几乎所有吸烟的人都知道烟草对健康的危害,也有许多人尝试过戒烟,或正打算开始戒烟,但真正能戒掉的人却很少,请问你在戒烟前有多长的烟龄?∥Hello, welcome to our studio to share your experiences with usAlmost all smokers know how smoking hurts their health and manyhave tried or are planning to quit, but only a few have succeeded. Howlong had you been smoking before you quit it?Evans: Well, this year I amturning 48 and I have been smoke-free for 2 years. My first cigarette was at the age of 14. Now you can do the math. Quitting smoking may be the best and most rewarding decision that I've ever made although the process is painstaking.∥伊文斯:今年我就48岁了,戒烟已经有两年了。
我14岁开始抽烟,你可以算出我的烟龄。
尽管过程很痛苦,但是戒烟是我做过的最正确也最有价值的决定主持人:是的,我想不吸烟的人很难想象戒烟有多难,而吸烟的人也无法得知戒烟成功后的舒适感。
你提到开始吸烟是在青少年时期,能说说为什么会想学抽烟吗?∥Host: Yes, I think nonsmokers cannot imagine how difficult quittingsmoking is, neither do smokers know the comfortableness when they manage to give it up. You said you started smoking when you were ateenager. Can you tell us why you developed an interest in smokingEvans: My father was well-liked and influential in thecommunity. He also was a smoker. So I attempted to be more like my father, which naturally includedsmoking cigarettes.伊文斯:我父亲在我们那一带很有威望,他也抽烟。
我努力成为和他一样的人,所以会效仿他吸烟。
At that time I believed that smoking makes me appear mature and Independent. I think that family history influences whether or not a child becomes a smoker. Children often copy what they see their parents do. / 那时我认为吸烟可以使我看上去更加成熟和独立。
在我看来,家庭在很大程度上会影响孩子是否吸烟,因为孩子通常会模仿父母的法。
主持人:你提到了一个很值得关注的事实,那就是青少年吸烟的诱因多为环境因素,如家庭成员间的相互影响或是来自同龄人的群体压力。
有许多人是在参军后或是在学校的集体宿舍里学会吸烟的。
Host: You mentioned a noteworthy fact: for teenagers, their incentive to smoke mostly lies in the environment such as interaction among family members or peer pressure. Many people learn to smoke after joining the army or when staying in the dormitory.那你为何会在吸烟30年后戒烟呢?是什么促使你改掉了这么多年的老习惯?成功戒烟后感觉如何?∥Why were you determined to quit after thirty years? What prompted you to break with your old habit? How did you feel after you managed to kick thehabit?Evans: I was determined to do so the moment I noticed the damage from smoking started causing healIth problems. Quitting was hard- nicotine patches and sugar-free gum helped me - but my health continues to be a big motivator.伊文斯:当我意识到吸烟会引发健康问题的时候就决定戒烟了。
这个过程是痛苦的,戒烟贴片和无糖口香糖帮助了我,不过一直以来最大的动机还是保持身体健康。
Since I quit smoking, I have been able to make other important changes to improve my health. I became an avidcyclist and began riding severalmiles per day. It's a real accomplishment for me. Now I still make a point to ride 9 or 10 miles every day for exercise.I also enjoy swimming and do some sort of cardiol exercise every morning.戒烟成功后,我调整了我的生活以改善健康。
我爱上了骑自行车,每天都要骑行数英里。
对我来说这是个了不起的成就。
现在我每天都要骑行九到十英里。
我也喜欢游泳,每天早上还会做各种有氧动。
主持人:你的健康意识值得大家学习,不仅成功戒烟,还养成了定时健身的好习惯。
看来吸烟者的自我意愿很重要,内在动力可能比外在压力更有说服力。
最后请你给那些想过戒烟却迟迟没能采取行动的人一些建议。
∥Host:Your awareness of health is worth learning. It helps you quit smoking and establish the habit of exercising on a regular basis. Therefore will plays an essential role because self-motivation works better than external pressure. Before we finish, can you give some advice to people who want to quit but haven't done anything yet?Evans: I want to send a message to people who thinksmoking isn't going to hurt them just because they haven't experienced a smoking-related health problem yet. If you smoke, you should quit. Maybenothing reallybad has happened yet, maybe you'relucky, but you're probably not going to stay lucky. /伊文斯:我想说,很多人认为吸烟不妨碍健康是因为他们还没有患上相关疾病。
如果你在吸烟,就应该马上戒掉。
可能最坏的事情还没有发生,目前来看你还很幸运,但是你不会一直幸运下去主持人:好的,最后我同大家分享一下专家建议的戒烟流程:首先把你想戒烟的原因写下来,越明确越好,如我的太太怀孕了,吸二手会影响婴幼儿发育;然后提醒自己戒烟的过程是痛苦的,但只要坚持大约两周,强烈的不适感就会消失;Host:Alright. In conclusion I would like to share with you the smokequitting procedure recommended by experts. First, write down reasons for quitting, the clearer, the better. For instance, my wife is pregnantsecond-hand smoking will damage infant development. Then, remind yourself that the process won't be easy, but as long as you hold on for two weeks. the intense discomfort will disappear.接下来请尽可能寻求帮助,如看医生、寻找替品、请家人帮忙监督、向戒烟成功人士取经等;最后当你下定决心戒烟时,就坚决吸,一根也别吸。
感谢你的参与,谢谢大家!∥Next, try your best to ask for help. You can see a doctor, find some substitutes, turn tofamily members for supervision and draw experiencefrom successful quitters. Finally, when you have made up your mind, never smoke again, not even one cigarette. Thanks for your participation. Thank you allEvans: It's a pleasure that I can offer something to help peoplequit smoking. Thank you for having me here. //伊文斯:非常高兴能够和大家分享我的戒烟经历。

大学口译教程课文翻译4单元
大学口译教程课文翻译4单元The Economic Impact of September 11thClearly, september 11th was an act of brutality that left the world first in shock, then in anger, an act of sudden violence that without warning stole a parent from 10,000 children and that shattered the illusion that we in North America are somehow insulated from external attack.显然,9月11日的暴行使整个世界为之震惊,继而愤怒。
这次突发暴力事件毫无预兆的夺走了一万个孩子的父母,我们原以为北美洲远离外界的袭击,但此次事件打破了这种幻觉。
In response, we have borne witness to an uncompromising resolve that more than matches the initial shock. The world has come together in an uncommon and irrevocable commitment to eliminate the threat of terrorism. The physical assault levelled against us is being met by an international coalition of nations, faiths and force that will not fail.我们已经证明,不妥协的决心是对这次袭击的最佳回应。
全世界人民同仇敌忾,誓在消灭恐怖主义的威胁。
全世界的各个国家,宗教和武装联合起来共同对抗恐怖袭击的行动一定会取得胜利。

口译Unit4
In the feudal society which lasted several millennia and the subsequent hundred odd years of semi-colonial and semi-feudal society, Chinese women experienced a bitter history of prolonged oppression, degradation and abasement. In the first half of the 20th century, Women plunged into an undaunted and heroic struggle lasting several decades, and, under the leadership of Communist Party of China, finally won their historic freedom.
Most importantly, the family reunion dinner must be well prepared. This is an auspicious and the most sumptuous meal of the year, and part of the food must be left over for the coming year, symbolizing that the family have food enough to spare from year to year. Such a bountiful feast is known as the “Crossing-the-Year Meal”. When the meal is prepared, the food is first used as a sacrificial offering to the gods and ancestors.

课外练习Passage 1 Chinese-English Interpretation北京观光客自然都会游览故宫和长城,这是因为故宫和长城是举世闻名的旅游景点。
而今天我却想向各位推荐北京第三大旅游场所,北京世界公园。
北京世界公园于90年代初在北京兴建,是北京的最新旅游景点。
这里游客那种“一日游尽天下景”的梦想便可成真。
北京世界公园的规模雄踞亚洲同类公园之冠,所收微缩复制品的数量也堪称亚洲之最。
世界七大奇观以及50个国家的约100处历史名胜和自然景观均以微缩模型展出。
占地面积46.7公顷的世界公园分为17处风景区,收集了亚洲、非洲、欧洲。
南北美洲以及大洋洲的主要名胜景点。
游客可以在这里观赏法国的凯旋门、埃菲尔铁塔、罗浮宫玻璃金字塔、凡尔赛宫和巴黎圣母院;英国伦敦的塔桥和白金汉宫;意大利的比萨斜塔、罗马大斗兽场、威尼斯水城和圣可马广场;西班牙的阿卡沙堡;德国的科隆大教堂;荷兰的风车和郁金香田园风光;希腊的雅典卫城;俄罗斯的克里姆林宫墙及钟楼;印度的泰姬陵;泰国的泰王宫;柬埔寨的吴哥窟;缅甸的仰光大金塔;新加坡的狮头鱼身像;埃及的基萨金字塔群和阿布辛伯勒神庙;美国的大峡谷和自由女神像;澳大利亚的悉尼歌剧院;墨西哥的巨石头像;智利的复活节岛巨人石像;秘鲁的那斯卡线画;中国的长城和故宫等景物复制品。
这些旅游景观制作精巧,工艺精湛,其中大多为原作的精确复制品,用料均为白玉、理石、上乘花岗岩石或其他优质石料。
例如,莫斯科的红场是以500块比麻将牌还小的红砖铺就而成。
而埃及的金字塔则以20万块大理石砌成。
美国的科罗拉多河和大峡谷的微缩景观高达32米,一条“巨型瀑布”从16米的高处飞流直冲谷底。
公园的东北角有一条300米长的国际街,这条具有欧美建筑风格的国际街集餐饮、购物和娱乐于一体,游客可以在这里领略各国情调,品尝他乡风味,购买纪念礼品,参加各种娱乐活动。
北京世界公园自开放以来已吸引了许多海内外游客前来观赏美景。
商务现场口译第四单元 Unit 4 Business Travel
U n i t F o u rB u s i n e s s T r a v e lUnit Objectives (单元目标)After reading this unit, you should➢understand the ways to identify the main ideas of the source text.➢find ways to improve your interpreting skills and performance.➢master the basic words and expressions about business travel.➢know some cultural background knowledge about business travel.PreparingI. Interpreting Skills (口译技能)Read the following presentation about discourse analysis and try tounderstand the four speech types and know how to identify the mainideas of the source text. Then complete the following task:1. Listen to the passage, “ My first day in New York”, and answer the followingquestions:1). When did the author first arrive in the US?2). What did the author do on the way to his hotel?3). Where did the author get something to eat after his friend had left?4). Why couldn’t he have what he really wanted at the restaurant?5). What did the author do after dinner?2. Listen to the passage again and try to catch more details, then retell thestory in your own words.Decoding Training (II): Discourse Analysis(语篇分析)Interpreting is to “understand and make understood”. To interpret the speech, one must first understand the message of the speech. However, comprehension(理解)of the source discourse goes beyond the simple recognition of words and linguistic structures. The interpreter shall make an analysis of the source discourse. More importantly, the interpreter shall identify(识别)the speech type and know how to identify the main ideas of the original speeches.Identification of the Speech TypesSpeeches are diversified serving different occasions and purposes. It will be of great help to the interpreters if they know the speaker’s style. In most cases, speeches are prepared beforehand. Therefore, a study of the different types of writing helps an interpreter identify the main idea of a given speech. Following are the basic types of writing.1. Descriptive WritingDescriptive(描述性的)writing involves a great deal of detailed information. A descriptive discussion aimed at providing details of an event, a scene, a procedure, or a situation.This speech type demands a thorough background investigation of the speaker and the relevant situation by the interpreter.2. Narrative WritingNarrative(叙述性的)writing focuses on the development of events. There is no doubt that the interpreter should be very sensitive to dates, time phrases, and verb tenses when a narrative speech is dealt with.3. Expositive WritingExpositive(说明性的)writing deals with its subject matter in such orders as chronological, spatial, comparison, and definition. It would be to the advantage of the interpreter to conduct a background investigation of the speaker and the situation, for that would provide the interpreter with not only thenecessary glossary but also the speaker’s standpoint(立场).4. Persuasive WritingPersuasive(劝说性的)writers always want to make their arguments clear, strong and convincing. When the purpose is to convince, writers of persuasive writing mainly employ two techniques -- induction(归纳)and deduction(推论). Inductive writing starts with specific examples or points to draw a general conclusion, while deductive writing illustrates its thesis at first and then supports and reinforces the thesis through specific examples or subordinate ideas.Identification of the Main IdeasIn the context of interpreting, the main ideas of the source speech can be identified at the sentence level and at the discourse level. Priority should always be attached to identifying the main idea at the sentence level. We argue that identification of main ideas be done on the basis of sentences. Training in identifying the main ideas in interpreting should naturally take place first at the sentence level.1. Sentence LevelThe most important task for an interpreter to identify the main ideas at the sentence level is to discern (洞悉)the subject, verb and object (SVO). It is highly significant for the interpreter to catch the SVO of the sentence while listening to the source text, as the SVO usually carries the major information of the sentence. For example, when listening to “The best way to carry money while traveling is to have a major credit card”, the interpreter is expected to catch “The best way is to have a credit card.” If the interpreter is able to catch the SVO of the sentence, he then will produce a complete sentence with the major information in the target language.2. Discourse LevelThere are also some skills an interpreter might employ on different occasions for grasping the gist (要点)of a speech at the discourse level. In a well-organized speech, the speaker usually explains his point in the first few sentences. Therefore, one of the ways to get the main idea of a speech is to attach priority to the beginning of the speech. Secondly, if the interpreter encounters a speech that is inductively constructed, the interpreter should, to the best of their ability, conduct a study of the speaker's background and viewpoints so that they can follow the speaker's logical guidelines.II. Phrase Interpreting (短语口译)Work on the following words and phrases. Interpret them into Chineseand English respectively.A. English to Chinese1. Have a population of…2. Cover an area of…3. Date back to…4. Have a history of…5. Be situated in…6. The gross domestic product7. Dive-in restaurant 8. Quarantine certificate9. Duration of stay 10. Residence permitB. Chinese to English1、日程安排2、旅行路线3、起飞时间4、机场大楼5、候机室6、贵宾室7、问讯处8、安全检查9、免税店10、个人物品III. Sentence Interpreting (句子口译)Work on the following sentences. Interpret them into Chinese andEnglish respectively.A. English to Chinese1. I believe you're going out of your way for us.2. Wouldn't you like to spend an extra day or two here?3. I'm afraid that won't be possible, much as we'd like to.4. I wonder if it is possible to arrange shopping for us.5. I will keep you posted.B. Chinese to English1. 我特地为你们安排,使你们在北京的逗留愉快。
