10、 keep the childrens world separate from that of the adult is exemplified also by the practice of delaying transmission of the news to children when their parents have been killed in an accident。如果父母在事故中丧生，人们总是晚些时候才告诉孩子们，这一点也证实了美国人想把儿童的世界和成人的世界隔离开的愿望。美国人想把儿童和成人的世界划清界限，这一愿望还反映在以下事实：如果父母在事故中丧生，人们总是设法晚点

19、Kongs return marks the great success of the concept of “one country, two systems.”1.其实，全球后工业化过程中，看看上海浦东、吉隆坡双子塔和美国世贸废墟等为“第一高楼”争得打破头，看看一幢楼里一模一样的房子高一层即贵一万元，便可明白人类这种登高望远的野心。即使“上九天揽月”也不再是嫦娥或库布里克的奥德赛之梦了，从加加林的首航和阿姆斯特朗的“一小步”，到美国富翁狄托那次昂贵却货真价实的太空旅游，人类才花了二十几年。据说两年内将启动的 Sub-OrbitalFlights 子轨道飞行，每人只需 5 万美金就可以预定座

25、trength and steadily expanded its foreign economic cooperation and trade.段子：1.据说外国人都奇怪为何中国人用电视遥控器总爱加一个遥控器套，我们自己分析估计有以下几点：1、遥控器是样神奇而伟大的东西，所以要以敬神的态度来保护；2、怕坏怕摔，中国人的家里总是小孩很多，小孩不看重遥控器；3、认为没了遥控器就没了电视机，中国人经不起失去；4、怕沾油，中国人热爱在餐桌上按遥控器看电视。遥控器套显示着阶层的档次，这是大多数正在小康中的家庭的标志符号。2.2003 年的上海不再是一个怀旧的上海，在成功申办 2010 年世博会之后，现
26、今的上海是一个生机勃勃、直冲向前的上海。那股子浸入骨髓的怀旧情绪也自然而然地化作了中国第一个真正意义上的国际化大都市的陪衬，它止于怀旧而致力于给更多的外来者提供梦想。与之相对的北京，经过了 2001、2002 年的激情燃烧、城区也扩建到六环，此时此刻重温所剩不多的物质回忆自然也就在情理之中。3.由于市场环境和市场发育的原因，中国品牌的整体实力尚不能与国外的名牌相抗衡，而 LOGO 正是品牌力量薄弱的表现之一。看到 IBM 的 LOGO，立刻就会联想到高价、优质的计算机，这主要是因为 IBM 这个品牌的成功，让 IBM 的 LOGO 具有渗透力，消费者将更多的信息与这个 LOGO 联系在了一起。
27、中国的 LOGO 之弱同样也反映了中国品牌在竞争中的某种弱势。1.译文：It is said the foreign people can never understand why the Chinese people should keep their remote controller of the televisions in a sheath. We believe there are mainly three reasons. First, the remote controller is something mysterious and great asking for pious
28、 protection; secondly, it is something vulnerable. The Chinese families are characterized by their large number of children who are not so respectful towards the remote controller; thirdly, the remote controller is believed to be something inseparable with the television, and thus can not be afforde
29、d to lose. Fourthly, the remote controller can not bear the least contamination of oil while the Chinese people like to watch television when eating. The sheath for the remote controller, a symbol for the particular status in China, offers a good evidence for China on its way to the well-off country
30、.2.译文：The Shanghai in 2003 is no longer a city with nothing but a goodhistory.

34、论 0 条 1.大家都怀疑她是个间谍。2.北京申奥成功的消息令我们热血沸腾。3.别听他们胡说八道，根本就没那回事。4.别看别人不把她当回事，在家里她可是父母亲的掌上明珠。5.我们很遗憾得知你方货物在运送途中严重受损，考试大保险公司将按照投保险种赔偿损失。6.Both men persisted in their own opinions and neither would concede. (英译汉 )参考答案：1.大家都怀疑她是个间谍。Everyone suspects that she is a spy.2.北京申奥成功的消息令我们热血沸腾。Beijings winning the bid
35、 for the Olympics makes us excited.make ones blood boil 是指“激怒某人”，而非“使人激动”。英语中“使人激动”的说法除了 make one excited，还有较为口语化的 make ones spine tingle。3.别听他们胡说八道，根本就没那回事。Dont be fooled by their babbling. Nothing of the sort.listen to 指“听”的动作，而原文中的 “别听”不是不让他“听”，而是劝告他“不要听信”，因此，用 not be fooled by 才更达意。4.别看别人不把她当回事，
36、在家里她可是父母亲的掌上明珠。Although other people never take her seriously, she is the apple of her parents eye at home.中英文常用不同的喻体表明相同的喻义，“掌上明珠”与 the apple of ones eye 就是一个很好的例子。这种情况我们一般应尊重各国文化和习俗，翻译时取目的语的固定说法，而不必直译，这有助于将意思更有效地传达给读者。the apple of ones eye 源自圣经旧约，当时人们用 apple 指人的瞳孔。尽管瞳孔现在已经用 pupil 来表示，不再是 apple 了，但
37、这一用法却延续了下来。5.我们很遗憾得知你方货物在运送途中严重受损，保险公司将按照投保险种赔偿损失。We are sorry to learn that your goods were badly damaged during transit and the insurance company will compensate you for the losses according to the coverage arranged.6.Both men persisted in their own opinions and neither would concede. (英译汉 )两个人各执己
38、见，相持不下好,下面我们来到我们的正题,到底如何准备口译考试。首先,仍然是资料问题。必备书籍是口译教程,再有一本华东师大出的高级口译-同传捷径就足够了( 这本书在上海的福州路的上海书城可以买到 ,我就是在那里买的,当然外地或者本地的也可以在网上邮购,也很方便), 也有人推荐同济出的一本口译第二阶段备考,昂立指定教材,也行吧,我也有,但没看过。(其实 ,只要把口译教程看熟练了 ,再配上一本辅助教程就足以了) 。同时还有一项必不可少,那就是 China Daily,从你考完笔试的第二天起,如果感觉会过,那就开始每天买一份 China Daily,不一定要看完所以的版面,但最好每天买,这样会督促自己
39、去看。再有放在最后的才是真题,其实到了第二阶段真题的价值不是太大,同时建议大家只看 04 年以后的,前面的实在是太短了,没有参考价值。而且真题建议用来视译(也就是你看着录音稿来翻译) 因为没有必要用真题去练习口译的基本功。这些笔记的基本功应该是在平时就练成的。用华东师大出的高级口译- 同传捷径这本书非常好,对于口译考试的成功起到关键作用,而视译是用来熟悉真题的出题方向和范围的。接着还有一个极为重要的问题,这也可以说是我这次通过的保障,那就是你一定要有一个固定的没有人打扰的案安静的场所来进行口译练习。由于口译过程是一个精神高度集中的过程,期间最好不要受到干扰,否则对身体也是一个损害。我就曾经背吓
40、过一次,很久才缓过来,这一点大家务必要注意,即一定要找一间在这两个月属于你的口译练功房。下面来看一下时间的安排和分配问题。我还是按照我的经历和时间安排来说,大家如果是春季考,自己来换算一下时间就好。我是 9 月 16 号,考完的笔试,当时感觉不错,通过肯定是没有问题,所以接下来就直接开始准备口试了。首先从 9 月 17 号到 9 月 30 号,有两周的时间,这两周第一要把华东师大出的高级口译-同传捷径的前八个单元拿下,至于如何算拿下,我待会说,第二,把口译教程从头到尾读一遍,只读英文,无论是英文原文还是中文的译文,一律都读。(其中,有两个单元是交替口译的可以不读,也不建议读) 。第三 ,读的同时每个单元的课内部分会有词汇的练习,把对应的词汇全部在文中找到,写出来,不一定要背,但是有时间就去看看,在笔试部分提到的新东方出的词汇书在这里有时间和精力就看看,没时间就算了(我就没看,也无所谓的)。第四,就是无论怎么样 ,每天一定要找两个小时左右的时间来看 China Daily。这上面有很多的口译中有可能出现的词汇和口语中有可能考到的话题,所以是必须看的
