1、口译教程参考答案雷天放主编口译教程CHALLENGING INTERPRETING: A COURSEBOOK OF INTERPRETING SKILLS编审：林郁如主编：雷天放 陈 菁Lesson 223 Yo-Yo Ma 今天将与我们见面的是我们这个时代最伟大的大提琴家-马友友。作为大提琴演奏家，马友友的职业生涯已经横跨了20多个年头，期间他发布了50多张专辑。他的音乐获得过许多奖项，其中包括令人叹服的14项格莱美大奖。他也曾经在许多重要的场合演奏，如格莱美的颁奖仪式和奥运会的庆典活动。马友友是出生在法国的华裔，父母都是音乐家，母亲是歌唱家，父亲是作曲家。第一次正式登台演出的时候，马友友

2、只有5岁。随后他随家人迁居到了美国。4年后，年仅9岁的马友友就在纽约极具声望的卡耐基音乐大厅登台演出了。后来马友友进入朱莉亚音乐学院学习提琴演奏。从那儿他转入哈佛大学，并获得人类学学位。他在哈佛的求学经历以及多元的文化背景都造就了今天的马友友。而今，马友友仍在继续他的音乐之路，并且积极地与来自世界各地的各种流派的音乐家合作。他的音乐灵感受到人和大自然的激发。在马友友看来，大提琴是他声带的延伸。他演奏时最重要的一点就是全时全情地投入，并且努力将音乐的内容传递给现场观众。24 CNN interview with Jet LiCNN 记者：祝贺英雄所取得的成功。请问您在英雄里扮演的角色是否与你通常

3、演的角色很相似呢？JL: It is a very special part and a very special movie. I think its one of the most important action movies in my life. CNN 记者：为什么你会这样说呢？你演过近30部电影，而英雄是如何与其他影片不同的呢？JL: Usually action films have a formula: a child whose parents have been murdered by the bad guys tries hard to learn martial ar

4、ts and he grows up into an outstanding Kongfu master. He takes revenge and kills the bad guys. But “Hero” has a much broader theme.CNN 记者：就比如很像卧虎藏龙？JL: No, its totally different. I think Ang Lee is a very talented director. He uses martial arts to talk about love and girls, you know But Zhang Yimou

5、tries to tell about Chinese culture, Chinese thinking and their hopes through martial arts. CNN 记者：含义的确很深。我们知道您的处女作是1979年拍摄的少林寺，那时你还是个十几岁的少年。影片在亚洲引起了轰动，并且还加拍了两部续集。我想问的是，您是如何从一位武术冠军成为一名好莱坞的动作明星的？JL: I think the most important thing is that when I was young, I learnt martial arts, that is my special k

6、ey. I can use my unique martial arts skills in the film. But after a few years, I really want to do something different like using martial arts to talk about peace and achieve peace.

8、e audience.Lesson3 3.3 史蒂夫 福布斯谈福布斯我祖父20世纪初来到美国。他离开英格兰时身上没什么钱。连他在内兄弟姐妹10人，不过他自小就受到很好的教育。像许多人一样，他也是满怀憧憬和理想来到美国的。他创办了福布斯杂志，报道那些实干家，那些改变商业社会的人。我祖父常说，做生意不是堆积百万财富，而是为带来幸福快乐。如今我们讲到公司、经营，文章中会用到许多数字，但焦点一直放在人上面。对公司来说，最重要的是人，而不是资产负债表。以前我祖父是这样看的，我们现在也是这样看的。当前的世界信息泛滥，足以将人淹没，人们迫切需要一本刊物来解读这些信息，告诉读者哪些重要，哪些不重要。这就是福布

9、斯的价值所在。我们提供额外的视角和判断。我们从不停留于表面，总想看看公司到底是如何经营的，正是当今芜杂繁多的信息使得福布斯日益重要。3.4 Introduction to an arts and crafts companyDistinguished guests, dear friends,I feel honored to have this opportunity to introduce our company to you through the platform provided by this conference.Founded 15 years ago, we are a c

15、tedly the most important festival of the year. Dating back 3,000 years, it celebrates the passing of a peaceful year and welcomes a new year. The reunion dinner, eaten on New Years Eve, is the most special, with members of the extended family gathering for the most significant meal of the year. Even

16、 the absent members will endeavor to return home in time for it. It underscores the supreme importance of the family in Chinese culture, and aims at strengthening the sense of togetherness and cohesion. The way people celebrate the New Year embodies two important core values. The first value is the

17、sense of family togetherness; members of multi-generation families are all there to have a big reunion dinner. Everyone will follow this custom. The female members are always held responsible for preparing the dinner, and some rich families may take on extra hands. The second value lies in the happy

18、 visits mutually made between friends and relatives, a good way to strengthen kinship and friendship. However, economic development has resulted in some changes in lifestyles. After a busy year, people are tired of preparing for the reunion dinner, and would rather hold their reunion dinner in posh

19、restaurants, despite the exorbitant costs. The festival door-to door visits have given way to New Year greetings via telephone or text messages. Some families even go to such extremes as to travel and seek temporary refuge in a hotel so as to avoid being visited. Some tradition-minded people regard

20、the reunion dinner and visits to relatives and close friends during the New Year as core values, without which the holiday would lose much of its significance. Some pessimists contend that, as the popularity of western culture grows, Chinese traditional festivals gradually lose their original meanin

21、g and degenerate into commercial festivals like Christmas. The Spring Festival is an important part of the Chinese cultural heritage, and it will continue to be celebrated. The modes of celebration may change, but the core value should be sustained: that of respect for kinship and friendship. 4.5 中英

22、教育交流Q: My question is about educational exchanges. You mentioned in your speech that there are large numbers of Chinese students studying in Britain. As we know, it is extremely difficult to get a scholarship in a British university. But the tuition fees for international students far exceed these f

23、or home students. So we can not help wondering about the motivation of British universities in enrolling Chinese students. Is it to promote educational exchanges with China and to liven up campus life in Britain, or just for a commercial purpose? Thank you. A: 这实际上是出于多种考虑。我不否认有商业考虑，办大学也要花钱，不过教育交流是主要

24、目的。奖学金难申请是因为钱要政府出，有时候纳税人有意见，说政府应该把奖学金给本国学生而不是外国学生。所以很困难。 但我们现在已经在扩大奖学金范围。事实上，过去几年，中国学生来英国留学生人数大大增加了，这说明奖学金难归难，你们还是有办法来留学的。 我想教育交流在未来会非常重要，我也希望，每一次外国学生来英国学习，回去时就像是一个英国大使，到他的国家为我们宣传，不管是在中国，俄罗斯还是哪个国家。所以我们在扩大教育规模，吸收更多海外留学生。所以你们继续申请奖学金，我们会尽力帮助的。Q: Mr. Blair, welcome to Tsinghua University. I was deeply i

25、mpressed by your support for Sino-British educational exchanges, but I was also sorry to learn that some universities in northeastern Britain have decided to cancel the major of Chinese Culture and Language, among them the University of Durham. Will this affect cultural and educational cooperation b

26、etween our two countries? If so, what is your solution?A: 讲到学校的课程，既然我听说了这件事，我打算回去看看究竟，不过大学做出这样的决定原因很多，也许是经济原因，或者是他们面临某种困难，这也是时有的事。要把想做的事都办成，钱总是不够的。不过我可以向你保证，我们会一如既往地欢迎中国学生来英国学习，就算杜伦大学没有合适的专业，其他大学也肯定有。 Lesson 5 5.3 Premier Wens Speech at the Opening Ceremony of the 15th General Assembly Session of th

On behalf of the Chinese government, I would like to extend our sincere welcome to all the guests here and to express our warm congratulations on the convening of this session.

29、/Tourism is a nice and pleasant activity that combines sightseeing, recreation and health care. Tourism has been developing all along with the progress of the times. Since the middle of the 20th century, modern tourism has been growing at a fast pace around the world. The number of tourists has ever

30、 been on the rise, the scale of the tourism industry has been in constant expansion, and the position of tourism in the economy has clearly risen. Tourism serves gradually as an important bridge of cultural exchange, friendship and further exchanges, and exerts more and more extensive influence on t

31、he human life and social progress among various countries. /As a country with a civilization with a long history, China is also a big oriental country full of modern vitality, not to mention its unique, rich and varied tourism resources. Besides the picturesque natural scenery, profound history and

32、extensive culture, China embodies the different folk customs of 56 nationalities. Currently, there are 29 places that have been listed as World Cultural and Natural Heritage sites.
