1、口譯教程challenging interpreting: a coursebook of interpreting skills編審：林郁如主編：雷天放 陳 菁lesson 223 yo-yo ma 今天將與我們見面的是我們這個時代最偉大的大提琴家-馬友友。作為大提琴演奏家，馬友友的職業(yè)生涯已經(jīng)橫跨了20多個年頭，期間他發(fā)布了50多張專輯。他的音樂獲得過許多獎項，其中包括令人嘆服的14項格萊美大獎。他也曾經(jīng)在許多重要的場合演奏，如格萊美的頒獎儀式和奧運會的慶典活動。馬友友是出生在法國的華裔，父母都是音樂家，母親是歌唱家，父親是作曲家。第一次正式登臺演出的時候，馬友友只有5歲。隨后他隨家人遷居

2、到了美國。4年后，年僅9歲的馬友友就在紐約極具聲望的卡耐基音樂大廳登臺演出了。后來馬友友進入朱莉亞音樂學(xué)院學(xué)習(xí)提琴演奏。從那兒他轉(zhuǎn)入哈佛大學(xué)，并獲得人類學(xué)學(xué)位。他在哈佛的求學(xué)經(jīng)歷以及多元的文化背景都造就了今天的馬友友。而今，馬友友仍在繼續(xù)他的音樂之路，并且積極地與來自世界各地的各種流派的音樂家合作。他的音樂靈感受到人和大自然的激發(fā)。在馬友友看來，大提琴是他聲帶的延伸。他演奏時最重要的一點就是全時全情地投入，并且努力將音樂的內(nèi)容傳遞給現(xiàn)場觀眾。24 cnn interview with jet licnn 記者：祝賀英雄所取得的成功。請問您在英雄里扮演的角色是否與你通常演的角色很相似呢？jl:

3、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 記者：為什么你會這樣說呢？你演過近30部電影，而英雄是如何與其他影片不同的呢？jl: usually action films have a formula: a child whose parents have been murdered by the bad guys tries hard to learn martial arts and he gro

5、 about chinese culture, chinese thinking and their hopes through martial arts. cnn 記者：含義的確很深。我們知道您的處女作是1979年拍攝的少林寺，那時你還是個十幾歲的少年。影片在亞洲引起了轟動，并且還加拍了兩部續(xù)集。我想問的是，您是如何從一位武術(shù)冠軍成為一名好萊塢的動作明星的？jl: i think the most important thing is that when i was young, i learnt martial arts, that is my special key. i can use

6、 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. cnn 記者：這聽起來似乎是矛盾的，對嗎？您是一個打斗專家，但您卻要談和平？jl: thats right, because chinese culture is not just martial arts. thats only the physical p

7、art. its not true that the chinese people are all kongfu masters and can just beat up people; and that they have no brains, no thoughts. as a matter of fact, we have a deep, strong and sophisticated philosophy. i feel i have the responsibility to share this information with the worldwide audience.le

8、sson3 3.3 史蒂夫 福布斯談福布斯我祖父20世紀初來到美國。他離開英格蘭時身上沒什么錢。連他在內(nèi)兄弟姐妹10人，不過他自小就受到很好的教育。像許多人一樣，他也是滿懷憧憬和理想來到美國的。他創(chuàng)辦了福布斯雜志，報道那些實干家，那些改變商業(yè)社會的人。我祖父常說，做生意不是堆積百萬財富，而是為帶來幸?？鞓?。如今我們講到公司、經(jīng)營，文章中會用到許多數(shù)字，但焦點一直放在人上面。對公司來說，最重要的是人，而不是資產(chǎn)負債表。以前我祖父是這樣看的，我們現(xiàn)在也是這樣看的。當(dāng)前的世界信息泛濫，足以將人淹沒，人們迫切需要一本刊物來解讀這些信息，告訴讀者哪些重要，哪些不重要。這就是福布斯的價值所在。我們提供額外

9、的視角和判斷。我們從不停留于表面，總想看看公司到底是如何經(jīng)營的，正是當(dāng)今蕪雜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 company specia

15、t 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 the absent m

16、embers 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 sense of fami

17、ly 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 visits mutua

18、lly 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 restaurants,

19、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 the reunion d

20、inner 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 meaning and degener

21、ate 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 中英教育交流q: my que

22、stion 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 for home stude

23、nts. 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: 這實際上是出于多種考慮。我不否認有商業(yè)考慮，辦大學(xué)也要花錢，不過教育交流是主要目的。獎學(xué)金難申請是因為錢

24、要政府出，有時候納稅人有意見，說政府應(yīng)該把獎學(xué)金給本國學(xué)生而不是外國學(xué)生。所以很困難。 但我們現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)在擴大獎學(xué)金范圍。事實上，過去幾年，中國學(xué)生來英國留學(xué)生人數(shù)大大增加了，這說明獎學(xué)金難歸難，你們還是有辦法來留學(xué)的。 我想教育交流在未來會非常重要，我也希望，每一次外國學(xué)生來英國學(xué)習(xí)，回去時就像是一個英國大使，到他的國家為我們宣傳，不管是在中國，俄羅斯還是哪個國家。所以我們在擴大教育規(guī)模，吸收更多海外留學(xué)生。所以你們繼續(xù)申請獎學(xué)金，我們會盡力幫助的。q: mr. blair, welcome to tsinghua university. i was deeply impressed by y

25、our 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 between our tw

26、o countries? if so, what is your solution?a: 講到學(xué)校的課程，既然我聽說了這件事，我打算回去看看究竟，不過大學(xué)做出這樣的決定原因很多，也許是經(jīng)濟原因，或者是他們面臨某種困難，這也是時有的事。要把想做的事都辦成，錢總是不夠的。不過我可以向你保證，我們會一如既往地歡迎中國學(xué)生來英國學(xué)習(xí)，就算杜倫大學(xué)沒有合適的專業(yè)，其他大學(xué)也肯定有。 lesson 5 5.3 premier wens speech at the opening ceremony of the 15th general assembly session of the world touri

38、rganization every success.thank you. 5.4 世界旅游組織簡介世界旅游組織是政府間唯一接納旅游經(jīng)營著的組織，它受聯(lián)合國委托，在各國旅游業(yè)的宣傳和發(fā)展工作中起著核心的作用。它成立于1975年，總部設(shè)在西班牙首都馬德里。世界旅游組織的宗旨是促進和發(fā)展旅游事業(yè)，使之有利于經(jīng)濟發(fā)展、國際間相互了解、和平與繁榮以及不分種族、性別、語言或宗教信仰、尊重人權(quán)和人的基本自由，并強調(diào)在貫徹這一宗旨時，要特別注意發(fā)展中國家在旅游事業(yè)方面的利益。世界旅游組織的成員分為正式成員、聯(lián)系成員和附屬成員三類。正式成員是指所有的主權(quán)國家。聯(lián)系成員指的是那些不必負責(zé)外交事務(wù)的地區(qū)。這些成員需

39、要經(jīng)過為他們承擔(dān)外交責(zé)任的政府的批準。附屬成員的范圍十分廣泛，包括直接從事旅游業(yè)或與旅游業(yè)有關(guān)的組織和企業(yè)，如：航空公司以及其他運輸公司、飯店、餐館，旅游批發(fā)商和零售商、金融界、保險公司、出版界等機構(gòu)。到2003年，世界旅游組織有正式成員包括141個國家，7個聯(lián)系成員和350個附屬成員，它們代表著私營業(yè)者、教育機構(gòu)、旅游協(xié)會以及地方旅游管理機構(gòu)。5.5 現(xiàn)代化與文化遺產(chǎn)的保護主：welcome to our studio. my first question is : how many years have you been in china?客：3年多了。我是2002年5月底來的。主：3 y

40、ears. i bet you have witnessed a lot of changes in china. could you tell us your deepest impression of urban development in china?客：我恐怕只能就我所在的城市談?wù)劷?jīng)驗，不過從周邊城市的所見所聞，我也會有同樣的看法。所有的外國人都非常清楚地看到，中國和中國的許多城市都正在快速地發(fā)展。我想在東部沿海城市更是如此。到處聳立著嶄新的高樓大廈，馬路變得更加寬闊。主：what do think of all these tall buildings and widened ro

41、ads?客：這個問題提的好，但是我覺得這是個相當(dāng)復(fù)雜的問題。主：why is it complicated?客：這個問題得從兩個不同角度來談。一方面是我作為一個外國人所期望的。我想看的，我感興趣的。和中國人想看的或者想讓我看的肯定是不一樣的。另一方面就是現(xiàn)代化與舊城文化保護相互沖突的問題。主：then lets see what are the differences between a foreigners expectations and what the chinese would like to see.客：這個問題看來最好這么來談。一般情況下，中國朋友帶我們參觀城市時，都是帶我們?nèi)タ?/p>

42、現(xiàn)代建筑。比如機場、大橋、會展中心。等等城市里最新的東西。但是外國人對老城區(qū)、小街小巷、古舊建筑更感興趣，。也就是那些使這個城市有別于我們所看過的其他城市的東西。一個外國人到過世界上的其他地方可能比一般中國人多，所見過的機場和橋梁對他們來說沒什么太大的不同，但是西安的廟宇他們就覺得有別與法國的教堂，更重要的是，中國城市的老房子更有別于英國城市的老房子。主：that is to say, foreigners are interested in the things unique in china, but there is a contradiction between modernizati

43、on and preservation, as you mentioned just now from another perspective. the space of a city is limited; the old part of the city should be reconstructed, and in fact the new buildings are symbols of the prosperity of a city. isnt this a good thing?客：當(dāng)然，繁榮與發(fā)展對你們來說是很重要的，對我們來說也是很重要。問題是當(dāng)一個國家發(fā)展的時候，人民的生活

44、水平也隨之提高，甚至可能提高很快。他們需要讓別人看到這種變化的事實。你們似乎忽略了對以前事物保護的需要，不止是保護那些廟宇或者宮殿。而是應(yīng)該保護人們居住的房屋，保護老城區(qū)的原貌。文化遺產(chǎn)一旦遭到破壞，你們是無法挽回這種損失的。主：you are quite right. people nowadays are starting to realize the importance of the preservation of heritage. some local governments are making great efforts to deal with the contradicti

45、on between development and preservation. well, because of the limitation of the time, im afraid we have to stop now, thank you ever so much for your coming to discuss this topic with us. we hope youll come again. lesson 6 6.3每當(dāng)談及飲食衛(wèi)生問題時，你可能會直接聯(lián)想到青少年，其實，許多不良飲食習(xí)慣開始于孩提時代。小孩子的不良飲食習(xí)慣有許多表現(xiàn)方式，它包括用餐沒有規(guī)律，經(jīng)常吃

46、的過飽或經(jīng)常餓肚子，有些孩子可能已經(jīng)開始食用最沒有營養(yǎng)的垃圾食品，專吃某一食品或著不愿吃某一食品。當(dāng)你的孩子明顯地表現(xiàn)出只想吃花生醬和果凍三明治時，作為家長就要注意尋找孩子缺乏衛(wèi)生飲食習(xí)慣的原因。假如家長懷疑他們的孩子有了不良的飲食習(xí)慣，他們就該帶孩子看健康方面的專家，比如通科的醫(yī)生、心理醫(yī)生或者營養(yǎng)師。但是在幫助孩子改變態(tài)度以及不良習(xí)慣的過程中，家長本身也能起到一個重要的作用，因為孩子會仿效他們家長的飲食習(xí)慣。比如說，如果家長正在節(jié)食，他們應(yīng)該注意到他們沒有讓他們的孩子誤以為面包和糧食是不好的食品。家長們對培養(yǎng)健康的飲食習(xí)慣應(yīng)該發(fā)揮積極的作用，因為全家都需要健康，改變不良的飲食習(xí)慣應(yīng)該落實到

47、每個家庭成員。孩子們的不良飲食習(xí)慣應(yīng)該盡早就能被發(fā)現(xiàn)。6.4 國際煙草控制公約女士們、先生們：首先，我要告訴大家一個好消息。一個以降低死亡與疾病主要原因為目的的公約剛剛生效。這個公約叫煙草控制框架公約。它是由世界衛(wèi)生組織主持達成的第一個國際公共衛(wèi)生條約。已經(jīng)有160個國家在公約上簽字，簽了約的國家必須在他們的國家批準該公約。迄今為止，已批準了公約的國家接近60個。但是只有40個國家需要批準使之生效。該公約在2005年2月27日生效。各締約國必須提高香煙和其他煙草制品的價格和稅收，他們必須打擊非法的煙草制品貿(mào)易，必須采取措施減少公共場所被動吸煙等。公約還禁止煙草廣告以及煙草商進行贊助活動。但是這

48、樣的限制必須不會冒犯該國的憲法規(guī)定。公約號召各煙草公司為大眾生產(chǎn)香煙替代品。健康的警告詞不應(yīng)該包括可能讓吸煙者誤以為某些香煙的危害程度比其他香煙小的信息。專家說所有的香煙都是不安全的。締約國還必須支持開展幫助人們戒煙的活動。應(yīng)該開展告誡人們不要吸煙的教育活動。世界衛(wèi)生組織的研究表明，全球目前有煙民約10億人。80%多的煙民生活在發(fā)展中國家。經(jīng)常吸煙的人有一半死于吸煙，每年世界上有近500萬人因吸煙而死亡，專家指出，按照目前的增長速度，到2020年，這個數(shù)字將達到1，000萬人。吸煙導(dǎo)致并增加了患各種疾病的危險。這些疾病包括癌癥和心臟病。吸煙的孕婦可能傷害胎兒。最近研究提供了更多的事實，證明孩子

49、從小就吸入煙霧，他們長大后得肺癌的危險性增大。煙草控制框架公約廣受世界人們的歡迎，但是補充的協(xié)議還需要進一步完善。比如，發(fā)展中國家貫徹公約需要資金的支持。對于那些不能實行的國家還沒有處罰的條例，不過他們的表現(xiàn)將在聯(lián)合國大會接受檢驗。我的話完了，謝謝大家。6.5 hiv/aids disease prevention a: 王先生，早上好。非常感謝您抽時間接受我們的采訪。請您介紹一下中國目前艾滋病傳播的情況。b: well, in china, hiv/aids has become a very serious problem related to social development. th

51、d of rapid development in aids infections. experts estimate that more than 900,000 people had been infected with hiv by the end of last year. if we dont take some efficient measures, this number will double by 2010.a: 您認為增長這么快的原因在哪里？b: first, because of poverty, people lack education and information

52、 about the prevention of hiv/aids. second, ignorance. people do not pay much attention to this problem. third, they lack proper resources, things like training, money and information. according to reports, we still do not have an efficient medicine to cure hiv/aids.a: 政府已經(jīng)采取哪些具體的措施來控制艾滋病在中國的蔓延呢？有什么國

53、際合作嗎？b: we have already got very strong support from the international community, especially on the technical side. and on the domestic front, we recognize that making our people understand and raising their awareness is very important. so, common sense, health education and behavioral changes are t

54、he only way for people to avoid hiv infection.a: 貴國政府在發(fā)布警報及增強公眾對艾滋病傳播危險性的認識方面一直都在怎么做？特別是在農(nóng)村地區(qū)？您認為要解決這個問題還應(yīng)該進一步做什么？b: firstly, i think the government should improve our monitoring system, and secondly, ngos should try their best to mobilize all the resources we can use to help the people, especially

55、people at the grass roots and the rural areas, to let them know the terrible results of spreading the disease and how to prevent hiv/aids. i think we should do more advocacy work among the people.a: 非常感謝您回答我們這么多問題。預(yù)祝你們在與艾滋病的斗爭中取得成功。b: thank you. lesson 77.4 羅格在雅典奧運會上的致辭希臘共和國總統(tǒng)先生，親愛的希臘朋友，今晚，全世界向希臘致意三

56、重敬意。人類感謝你，因為你于2，800年前，在奧林匹亞創(chuàng)立了奧林匹克運動會。世界崇敬你，因你在現(xiàn)代奧林匹克運動的奠基人皮埃爾.德.顧拜的號召下，于1896年就在雅典重新恢復(fù)了這項盛事。最重要的是，今晚全世界為你歡呼致意，感謝你舉辦這一屆奧運會，讓奧林匹克運動會回到了它的誕生之地。感謝所有支持奧林匹克運動會的人，特別要感謝偉大的自愿者們，沒有他們的付出，就沒有今天的盛會。所有參賽的運動員，我想對你們說的是，這是你們理應(yīng)享受的一刻，是你們的所有辛勞和奉獻的巔峰時刻。請通過你們的行為拒絕興奮劑和奉守公平競技的原則，讓我們相信體育運動正日益變得可信和純潔。我們的世界需要和平、寬容和友愛。來自世界上20
