2006 年 5 月翻译资格英语高级口译实务真题及答案 试卷一 Part A Directions: In this part of the test, you will hear 2 passages in English. After you have heard each paragraph, interpret it into Chinese. Start interpreting at the signal…and stop it at the signal… You may take notes while you are listening. Remember you will hear the passages only once. Now let’s begin Part A with the first passage. Passage 1: Some people say that the United States is “a melting pot”. In my view, the melting pot myth is never true. The United States has always been a heterogeneous society with cohesion based partly on mutual respect and partly on one group’s values dominating all others. In a true multicultural society, individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds exist without socially enforced power differences. But that is not the case, at least, with the United States. In the United States, when you speak of upper, middle and lower classes you speak of power and control over material resources. Economic power in the United States today is largely held by youthful, able-bodied White males. Whites in the United States recognize the existence of a White culture. In terms of cross-cultural communication, the dominant White culture includes communication patterns of Standard English, direct eye contact, limited physical contact, and controlled emotions. (参考答案) 有人说美国是熔炉,以我所见,有关熔炉之说从来就是一种虚构的神话。美国历来就是一个 多元化的社会,不同成分之间的凝聚,部分是建筑在相互尊重的基础上,部分是建筑在一个 群体的价值观支配/主宰其他群体的价值观的基础上。在一个真正意义上的多元文化社会 里,有着不同文化背景的人们生活在一起,没有社会所强加的权力区别。至少美国不是这样 一种多元化社会。 在美国,当人们谈论上、中、下层阶级是他们指的是对物质来源享有的权利和控制力。今日 美国的经济权在很大程度上控制在那些身体健康的白人男子手里。美国白人认识到/承认白 人文化的存在。从跨文化交际的角度来看,占主导地位的自人文化所包含的内容有标准英语 的交际模式、眼神的直接交流、有限的身体接触和情绪的控制等。 Passage 2: Food is a basic need of all humans, yet it differs from culture to culture. You may have heard people ask questions like: Why should dessert be served at the end of English meals? Why do Americans still feel hungry after eating a Chinese dinner? Cross-cultural studies show that meals follow strict progression of cues based on shape, color, odor, or specific taste sensation. Elephant never appears on our dinner
tables, nor dog or cat or fox. Sometimes we admit that our strong rejection of certain meat is not founded in physiology but in aesthetics. However, some anthropologists have argued that it is never useful to ask questions about one item lifted out of its cultural context. If we ask only why elephant is rejected from the diet,it will lead incorrectly to biological explanations. If biology were the basis for the selection of human foods, diets around the world would be quite similar. In fact, the selection of food is not only part of the nature of the human body, but also it is very much a matter of society. (参考答案) 食物是全人类的基本需要,但也因文化的不同而不同.你们可能听到有人问这样一 些问题: 为什么在英式饭菜中最后上桌的是甜点?为什么美国人吃完中餐仍感饥饿?跨文化研究表 明,每顿饭的(上菜顺序)都是严格按照某些指示性信息设计的,这些信息由菜肴的形、色、 气味/给人的嗅觉以及独特的味觉构成。象(肉)从来不会出现在餐桌上, 狗(肉)、猫(肉) 和狐狸(肉)也不会。有时我们承认之所以拒食某些肉类并非基于生理学而是美学原因。 然而,一些人类学者提出,脱离文化背景研究/查询某一单项(饮食习惯)决不会有实际意义. 如果单独质问为什么象(肉)被排除在食物之外,会错误地导致生物学/角度的解释.如果生 物学(观点)是人类选择食物的基础,世界各地的食谱则会大体相同.其实人类对食物的选择 既是人体自然天性的一部分,在很大程度上也是社会现象。 Part B Directions: In this part of the test, you will hear 2 passages in Chinese. After you have heard each passage, interpret in into English. Start interpreting at the signal…and stop it at the signal…you may take notes while you’re listening. Remember you will hear the passages only once. Now, let’s begin Part B with the first passage. Passage 1: 女士们、先生们:请允许我介绍一下北京奥林匹克公园的建筑风格。我们在设计中给奥林匹 克公园的定位是继承和延续北京传统中轴线的风格,同时通过每个建筑单位造型的新颖细致 的设计体现二十一世纪“新北京”的城市风貌。 如果把城市比做一首乐曲,那么每一座建筑就是跳动的音符,建筑群则是一段旋律。奥林匹 克公园就是北京城市乐章的主旋律。其中奥运村拥有单元式住宅 37 万平方米, 可接待 17600 名运动员和随行官员。无疑,奥林匹克公园将是北京社区建设的典范之作. (参考答案) Ladies and gentlemen,please allow me to introduce the architectural style of the Beijing Olympic Park. In our design, the Olympic Green/Park is positioned as the development and extension of the style of the Beijing traditional central axis in designing. It will demonstrate the outlook of the “New Beijing” in the 21st century by new and original designs of each building. If a city is regarded as a music chapter, then each building is the throbbing/vibrant musical note,and a group of buildings the melody.The Olympic Park thus can be seen as the main part of the music of Beijing City. The Olympic Village in it has 370,000
square meters of apartment buildings, which can receive 17,600 athletes and sports officials. Undoubtedly, it will become an exemplary community in Beijing. Passage 2: 联合国每年都要讨论防治艾滋病的问题。今年的国际艾滋病大会将在曼谷举行,届时中国卫 生部将派 10 人组成的代表团出席。近年来,我国中央政府在防治艾滋病方面做出了巨大努 力,各地方政府和有关组织也采取了强有力的具体措施防止艾滋病蔓延。 艾滋病是全人类面临的共同问题,要想有效解决这个问题,防止其进一步恶化,就需要国际 社会通力合作.中国代表团将本着寻求国际合作的精神参加这次大会,我们希望通过和与会 代表交流经验,采取更有效的措施来应对艾滋病问题。 (参考答案) The topic of AIDS prevention and treatment is on the annual agenda of UN conferences. The International AIDS Conference for this year will be held in Bangkok. China’s Ministry of Health will send a 10-member delegation to attend the conference. In recent years, the Chinese Central Government has devoted tremendous efforts to the work of AIDS prevention and treatment, and the provincial governments and organizations have taken effective and specific measures to check the spread of AIDS. AIDS is the common challenge to all humanity. The international community needs to enhance cooperation to effectively address the problem and prevent it from deteriorating worldwide. It’s in the spirit of seeking international cooperation that the Chinese delegation will attend the conference. We hope that we can find ways to handle the problem more effectively through exchanges of experience with other participants at the conference. 试卷二 Part A Directions: In this part of the test, you will hear 2 passages in English. After you have heard each paragraph, interpret it into Chinese. Start interpreting at the signal…and stop it at the signal… You may take notes while you are listening. Remember you will hear the passages only once. Now let’s begin Part A with the first passage. Passage 1: The United Nations has had no more consistent supporter than this country for its charter and the work of its specialized agencies. We take part in many UN activities. We accept the jurisdiction of the International Court of Justice and are active in development of the international law. Our country has been a member of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development for almost 30 years. Global economic issues are among the core elements of international relations and we give priority attention to these issues. Our diplomatic policy has been greatly influenced by our increasing dependence on international trade and the effects of the world economy. Our economic and political
future is linked closely with those of our neighbors. We take the view that peace and prosperity in the Asia-Pacific region depends on the ability of the region's countries to cooperate to maintain economic growth and political stability. We are keen to ensure the stability and security of this region and to develop mutually profitable trade, technological exchanges and cooperation. (参考答案) 联合国没有哪一个成员国能像我国那样始终如一的支持联合国宪章及其专门组织的工作。我 们参加了联合国的众多行动。我们接受国际法庭的管辖,积极参与制定国际法。近三十年来 我国一直是经济合作与发展组织的成员。全球经济问题在国际关系处于中心位置,我们对这 些问题给予优先考虑。 我国对国际贸易越来越大的依赖及世界经济(发展)极大影响了我们的外交政策。我国政治和 经济前途与亚洲以及其他太平洋邻国的政治和经济前途休戚相关。我们认为, 亚太地区的 和平与繁荣取决于该地区各国能否进行合作以保持经济增长和政治稳定。我们迫切希望保障 亚太地区的稳定和安全,发展互惠互利的贸易、投资和技术交流与合作。 Passage 2: In the coming days and weeks, I'll talk more about what we need to do to make sure America has an energy policy that reflects the demands of a new century. The first order of business is for Congress to pass an energy bill. The energy bill must encourage the use of technology to improve conservation. We must encourage Americans to make better choices about energy consumption. We must also continue to invest in research, so we will develop the technologies that would allow us to conserve more and better protect our environment. The energy bill must also encourage more production at home in environmentally sensitive ways. Over the past three years, America's energy consumption has increased by about 6 percent, while our domestic energy production has decreased by about 1 percent. That means more of our energy is coming from abroad. To meet our energy needs and strengthen our national security we must make America less dependent on foreign sources of energy. The bill must also support pollution-free cars and trucks, powered by hydrogen fuel cells instead of gasoline. (参考答案) 在接下来的几天和几周里,我将多谈些我们应该怎么做才能确保美国的能源政策反映新世纪 的要求。第一步就是国会通过一项能源法案。这一法案必须鼓励人们使用节能型的技术。我 们必须鼓励美国人在能源消费方面做出更好的选择。我们必须继续在研究方面进行投资,以 开发那些更加节能和能更利环保的技术。 能源法案还必须鼓励在注意环境问题的前提下提高国内(能源)生产。在过去 3 年里, 美国 的能源消费增加了约 6%,而国内能源生产却下降了约 1%。这意味着我们需要进口更多的 能源。为了满足我们的能源需求,增强国家安全,我们必须减少对国外能源的依赖性。能源 法案必须支持由氢燃料而非汽油驱动无污染汽车和卡车。 Part B Directions: In this part of the test, you will hear 2 passages in Chinese. After
you have heard each passage, interpret in into English. Start interpreting at the signal…and stop it at the signal…you may take notes while you’re listening. Remember you will hear the passages only once. Now, let’s begin Part B with the first passage. Passage 1: 在中国,现存著名园林中最古老的,当属安徽滁县的醉翁亭。该亭子之所以有名, 源于宋 朝大学者欧阳修的文章《醉翁亭记》。另外,在苏州,有座与醉翁亭同样有名的沧浪亭,建 于 1044 年。该亭取名沧浪,是因为附近有条叫做沧浪的小溪。 苏州除了沧浪亭之外,还有三处名胜:拙政园、留园与纲师园。造拙政园的,是明朝一位曾 位居高官,而后灰心隐退,自认拙於政事的人。留园可谓是应有尽有:亭台楼阁,曲径回廊。 所谓纲师,即渔翁之意。事实上造纲师园的,是一位自称为纲师的学者。 (参考答案) The earliest extant one among the famous gardens in China is the Pavilion of the Drunk Old Man in Chu County, Anhui Province. It owes it fame to a piece of prose written by Ou Yang Xiu, a great/celebrated scholar of the Sung Dynasty, commemorating the Pavilion. Besides, in Suzhou, The Canglang Pavilion, built in 1044, is equally famous. The Pavilion got its name from Canglang, a little stream nearby. There are three other famous places in Suzhou: The Awkward| Retired Politician’s Garden. The Hard-to-Get-Away Garden and the Fishing—net Master Garden. The Awkward/Retired Politician’s Garden Was built by a former Imperial/high—ranking officer of the Ming Dynasty, who got tired of the intrigues at the court. The Hard—to—Get-Away Garden is said to have a wide range of architecture such as pavilions, terraces and towers, as well as winding paths and corridors. A Fishing—net Master refers to a fisherman. The Fishing-net Master Garden was actually built by a scholar, who called himself a Fishing—net Master. Passage 2: 我们注意到欧洲正在重新评价对华关系。中国作为潜在的巨大的市场对欧洲产生了很大的吸 引力。许多欧洲国家认为不应该对中国采取视而不见的鸵鸟政策。尽管欧洲各国在对华政策 上有区别,但对于中国的重要性的认识是一致的。 中国的发展不会妨碍任何人,也不会威胁任何人;中国现在不称霸,将来强大了也永远不会 称霸。不同社会制度和文化传统的国家,只要以各国人民的根本利益为重,彼此尊重,相互 包容,就完全能够超越意识形态差别,在和平共处五项原则基础上共同发展。 (参考答案) We are aware that Europe is reevaluating its relationship with China. Most European countries have been aware of the importance of China. China, as a potentially huge market, has been very attractive to Europe. Therefore, many European countries feel that Europe should not adopt an ostrich policy toward China. Although policies concerning China differ among various European countries, their acknowledgement of China’s importance is the same. China’s rise will not stand in the way or pose a threat to any other country. China does not seek hegemony now, nor will it do so in the future, even after it becomes
powerful. Countries with different social systems and cultural traditions can transcend ideological differences and enjoy common development on the basis of the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence provided that they set store by their people’s fundamental interests, and respect and tolerate each other.
