1、全国翻译硕士专业学位(MTI)系列教材 基础口译 参考答案 仲伟合 王斌华 主编 外语教学与研究出版社 全国翻译硕士专业学位(MTI)系列教材 1 第一单元 口译导论 口译主题：迎来送往 二、技能训练 Text 1 Gordon Browns Visit to India Gordon Brown has arrived in India for a two-day visit, pledging to forge stronger trade links and cooperate against terrorism. But the fate of Northern Rock contin
2、ues to dominate his tour. The prime minister denied he s already struck a deal with Sir Richard Branson. Our political editor Gary Gibbon reports from Delhi. Well, Gordon Browns here in India to talk about aid, trade and counter-terrorism. He attended a womens empowerment event when he arrived here
3、in Delhi. And a short while after that, he had this to say about how he wanted more international cooperation on counter-terrorism. What I would like to see is greater contact between our two countries in winning the battle of hearts and minds, isolating extremist ideologues who are trying to poison
4、 young people and the views that they have. Tomorrow Gordon Browns gonna be talking about what he calls global governance, changes to institutions like United Nations. He wants India to have a seat on the Security Council. But he wants a lot else as well. Hes talking about a sort of force, a bit lik
5、e the Blue Berets, the military forces that the United Nations currently deployed to troubled countries. He wants a backup as it were a blue-suit force which could include teachers, judges, doctors, people who can come in when a country is in dire difficulty. But there is another issue that is doggi
6、ng him around here and it is in a way personified by the ever-present, Sir Richard Branson, boss of Virgin. Hes been following the prime minister on his tour and insisting at every turn that there are no secret negotiations going on between the two of them when it comes to the sale of Northern Rock.
7、 This is what the prime minister himself had to say about that today. “I can reassure people entirely that any negotiations about Northern Rock will be taking place in London. If a number of commercial companies are expressing interest in the future of Northern Rock, then it is right that the govern
8、ment explore all options available to us.” But as I said the prime minister is gonna be talking about the United Nations and other matters tomorrow when hes here in Delhi, but his heart and mind are gonna be very much back in London where the Chancellor will be making a very important statement abou
9、t Northern Rock. The prime minister wants people to think that hes no longer on the back foot on Northern Rock, hes taken a grip of the situation and that he is not bailing out whoever buys Northern Rock. Will it look like that? Will it sound like that? Will people think that the government is actua
10、lly making a sweetener for Richard Branson or whoever buys Northern Rock? That will be the key moment tomorrow. Gordon Brown will be watching from a distance here in Delhi. Text 2 Yales President Welcoming President Hu Jingtao Mr. President, it is my pleasure to extend a warm welcome to you and Ms.
11、Liu on behalf of our entire community. We are deeply honored that you have chosen to visit Yale. Your country has an ancient tradition of reverence for education, and your actions affirm this tradition. During the past decade, you have made massive investments in your universities, strengthening the
12、 most excellent of those institutions while broadening access to higher education from less than 5% to more than 15% of your college-age population. Your nations focus on 全国翻译硕士专业学位(MTI)系列教材 2 education has contributed substantially your historically unprecedented success in lifting more than 200 mi
13、llion of your citizens out of poverty in the past quarter century. We admire these achievements, and, like most Americans, we are hopeful that the development of your economy will be accompanied by continued expansion of the rule of law and strengthening of the rights of individuals. These past two
14、summers, Yale has been privileged to host presidents and vice presidents from 14 of your leading universities for an intensive two-day seminar on the policies and practices of the worlds most respected institutions. Our conversations have acknowledged deep differences on important questions of value
15、s and national policy. But we hold the common belief that only through education can one acquire the capacity to think creatively and independently, and thus contribute to scientific and material progress as well as to the humanistic and artistic expression that enriches society. We also agree on th
16、e power of personal encounter to deepen mutual understanding among those who start from different traditions, norms, and values. Our experience mirrors that of thousands of US and Chinese scientists and scholars and tens of thousands of students whose interactions with one another can be a foundatio
17、n for a lasting peace between our nations. Yale is proud of its extensive collaborations with China. Scholars from our faculty of arts and sciences and faculty from nearly all of our professional schools are currently engaged in more than 80 research and educational collaborations with Chinese count
18、erparts. In addition to our seminar for university leaders we are currently involved in training programs for your environmental officials, mayors, senior executives of state enterprises, and senior governmental leaders. We are collaborating with Fudan and Peking Universities on major scientific res
19、earch programs, and with your alma mater Tsinghua University on both cultural and environmental projects. Our China Law Center, directed by Professor Paul Gewirtz who helped to orchestrate the Rule of Law Initiative launched by President Jiang Zemin and President Bill Clinton, is deeply engaged with
20、 your courts, your law schools, your administrative agencies, and the National Peoples Congress helping to advance legal reform and the rule of law. Our American students are eager to learn about China. They learn from study: Enrollment in our first-year Chinese language courses increased by more th
21、an 50% this year, and each time Professor Jonathan Spence offers his course in Modern Chinese History over 300 students enroll. And our students learn from encounter: from getting to know the more than 600 Chinese students and scholars currently in residence here at Yale, who teach us even as they p
22、ursue their own studies. We look forward to your address, Mr. President. By your presence today, you honor the long association between Yale and China, and you honor the place of the university in both Chinese and American society. We are deeply grateful, Mr. President. Text 3 New York Mayors Openin
23、g Remarks at the Committee of 100 Conference Anyway, some of you have come from very far away. So welcome to New York. One thing I would ask you to do while you are here is to spend a lot of money, because we need the tax revenues. Even though we do not have to pay for an Olympics that is coming her
24、e, which we wish we had to do, but we did not work out that way. I just want to on behalf of the 8.3 million people in this city to welcome you. The Committee of 100 should be complimented for everything they do and its really an honor for me that you ask me to come, because its only two decades thi
25、s organization has become an important voice for the Chinese communities in America and really it focuses on promoting understanding between the US and China, and encouraging Asian and American leaders of today and 全国翻译硕士专业学位(MTI)系列教材 3 tomorrow. And we are proud that some of these leaders are livin
26、g and working right here in New York. You see their influence in every area of life, from Wall Street to our city council, from the concert halls, museums to the citys skyline. I, umright now, my company just move into the building designed by a Brazilian architect, but before that we lived in the b
27、uilding designed by a Chinese architect. And it was a great building but we eventually outgrow it. But we have one of my former landlords here, Ronnie Chan from Hong Kong. Oh, I told Henry Crumb that Ronnie overcharged us every year I can tell. Anyway, one in ten New Yorkers can trace their ancestry
28、 to Asia or to the pacific island, it really just tells you how diverse our city is. When I came here years ago, I was determined to make sure that I had a chance to raise my kids in the city that really was international and was the kind of the city that was going to survive in the 21st century. We
29、 are doing everything we can to make sure that New York remains the beacon to people around the world who want to have the opportunity to be in control of their destiny, take care of their families and we are building, for example, record number of schools here. We are building affordable housing in
30、 this city for 500,000 people. Five hundred thousand people is more than lived in Atlantic, Georgia. We have our public school system of 1.1 million kids. Thats more people than live in Detroit, Michigan. So the city is very big, and its and the scale keeps growing. We are going to add more people i
31、n this decade than live in Pittsburgh. But the thing that perhaps tells you the most about New York city and differentiates it from other cities clearlycities like Beijing, equally large in size. But thats the diversity of New York that really is unique. The parents of our public school kids speak 1
32、70 different languages, which just tells you that, you know, when somebody says write a letter home to your Chinese parents, its not so easy to write that letter. Some of those 170 languages do not have a written dialect with them. But we the immigration here is the citys greatest strength. Other pl
33、aces find immigrants threatening and dont realize, dont think they get a great deal of value. In New York City, if immigrants stop coming here, this city would die. And in fact its great strength from Pilgrim days or Dutch days when it was formed until now, its always been that every year we welcome
34、 hundreds of thousands of people to this city, who want to come and live here. And last year, we have 44 million people from around the world who came here as tourists. So New York continues to grow and our economy continues to grow, because our unemployment rate is at a record low. Our murder rate
35、is at a record low, crime rate record low. But the good news is our life expectancy is at a modern-day high. And our education system has a graduation rate at high school of record high. There are a lot of good things going on in this city and a lot of it is because people come from Asia Pacific reg
36、ion to help us. So I just want to welcome everybody. You can just rest assured that the Chinese communities in this city are doing well. Business is thriving. They are having families and the kids are going to public schools for the 1st time and long time and really getting a good education. We are
37、doing the right things, perhaps no better time than the year of Pig, some say its the “Golden Year” for us to celebrate the friendship that has gone on for a long time. And since 9-11, this city really has recovered and I just want all of you tonight, when you think about it before you go to bed and
38、 turn out the lights. Those people living in New York, I think, are the luckiest people in the world. We are not taking anything away from those living elsewhere, but New York is really something that you need and we are proud of it. And thank you to the Committee of 100, its really a distinguished
39、organization with a great mission. You are doing a wonderful job. So enjoy the lunch and enjoy the conference and we see you and perhaps you invite me back next year. Come. Good-bye! Thank you./ 全国翻译硕士专业学位(MTI)系列教材 4 Text 4 Gordon Browns Remarks at the Israel-Britain Press Conference Can I say what
40、a privilege it is for me to be here with President Peres this morning, to be here with my wife Sarah, to be here with such an important delegation of British business leaders and I am delighted that they have all managed to come to Israel this weekend as we build even stronger relationships between
41、our two countries over future years. I have admired the work that you have done over many years. I was brought up on the history of Israel, I know of the immense contribution you have made to the history of this country in the many roles that you have played over the last few decades, and it is a pl
42、easure for me to be able to invite you to come to visit the United Kingdom later this year in your capacity as President of Israel. And I hope that we can begin planning this visit very soon. That visit will build even stronger relationships between our two countries, trading relationships, commerci
43、al relationships, artistic and cultural relationships and educational relationships, and over the next two days I believe that we will be able to sign new agreements between our two countries that will strengthen both the trade and the cultural links that bind our two countries very closely together
44、. I am very pleased to be here also because President Peres and I have talked in some detail about what contribution we, from Britain, can make to the peace process. And we want to work with you on that vision and we want to work with the other countries so that we can make a reality not just of pea
45、ce in this region, but a reality of prosperity. Winston Churchill, one of our prime ministers, used to say that those who built the present purely in the image of the past will miss out entirely on the challenges of the future. And you have shown at all times a vision of the future, about how people
46、 can cooperate together, on how economics can bind people together, that I believe is a compelling one that commands increasing support in this region. So from this business delegation that you have welcomed today, to the political leaders in our country, we want to work with you and we want to work
47、 with your country so that we can build a prosperous and peaceful Middle East in the years to come. 三、对话口译 Text 5 突尼斯大使穆罕默德萨赫比巴斯里先生专访 Journalist: We are so pleased to be here today.
