来了负面的影响，而这里学校制度和媒体是so结构连接在一起的，可以推测出媒体的作用是负面的。 第三句的难点是metal detector，这个短语指的是“金属探测器”。 第六句的难点是lash out这个词组。lash out这个词组表示“语言抨击或人身攻击”，在这里结合语境可以翻译为“发生口角斗殴”或“口头和肢体攻击”。

Listening comprehension 1 Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following conversation. M: Do you come from a particularly musical family? W: Not really, my family are farming people and my parents have always lived on farms. My oldest brother is a born farmer and my second brother works on a farm too, but he’s also got an office job to do with agriculture. And so they appreciate music, but they don’t really know much about classical, in inverted commas, that sort of things. They appreciate perhaps Scottish traditional music more and they like a good tune. And if they can trace a tune, and they can tap their feet tune or clap tune. They are quite happy, but they don’t know about Stravinsky or something like that. Then they are quite lost. M: Why did you choose percussion? I mean, it’s not the obvious thing even for a musical student to choose. W: No, but I liked it. I was always keen on percussion. Clarinet and percussion were my two instruments, and I like the sheer variety. But I feel I was very much influenced by a local girl who played the xylophone. And she was absolutely brilliant. And I just said “gosh, I want to do that too.” But then I discovered that percussion didn’t just consist of xylophone, it consisted of a lot more and so I liked that as well. And so, that’s how it really all began. M: You started to play percussion quite young? W: Yes, that’s when I was at secondary school at the age of 12. I had a bit of job actually, starting percussion. Because when you are a pupil at school, you all go through a music oral test, and which is done through a tape recorder. And you just listen and you write down answers, things like that. And afterwards, when I asked if I could play percussion, the obvious reaction of my teachers was “Well, look at these marks, they are not good”. But I said, “Well, really? I play the piano”. That was the only thing I could back myself up with. Until eventually he said, “Well, the percussion teacher happens to be at school today. Perhaps she might want to go through and see what he says”. And so the percussion teacher said, “Well, I can’t really see why she shouldn’t be playing percussion”. And so it’s really just gone from there. But at the time,they didn’t know that I was wearing hearing aids and this sort of thing. And so when I told them, their reaction was much different. You know what I mean? M: They didn’t know that when they gave you the test? W: Oh, no, and I refuse to tell anyone. Rightly or wrongly, I’m not sure. But certainly, that was the case. That’s how it all started really. 1. Which type of family does the woman come from? 2. What kind of music does the woman say her family likes most? 3. Which of the following instruments does the woman play? 4. When did she start to play the musical instrument she’s talking about now? 5.

常被形象得比喻为“树形”结构，有主有次，层次清晰而中文的则被形容为“葡萄”式的，这是因为中文更加注重语义，强调“意合”。另外英语多长句，汉语多短句，英语多被动，汉语多主动。这些在翻译中都是要注意的地方，防止出现不伦不类的译文哦~~ >>>口译备考专题| 翻译技巧掌握<<< 如果是由于“裸考”造成的没高级口译考试是全国含金量比较高的素质英语考通过，那可就要好好研究一下中高口的题型喽！做多几套真题，总结做题的技巧和方法很重要。而且由于中高口考试是素质英语考试，因此有针对性得复习一些热门词汇还是很重要的。 >>>历年真题下载<<< 考试没通过没关系，关键是总结不足，然后有的放矢的查漏补缺，争取下次成功哦~~

实是，年轻人大多缺乏辨识力，而且由于不善管理时间，他们最终往往浪费过多一去不复返的宝贵时间收看垃圾节目，让大脑沉溺于精神倦怠的深渊中。 【评析】 评析：文章出处为出处Mailonline，作者是Lindsay Johns，讲的是没有电视的好处。在这样一个信息化社会，没有电视确实很另类。作者在第一段中便生动地描绘了人们得知他没有电视时的反应。 第一段难度较大的单词有lampoon，讽刺；unorthodox，非传统的；还有一个需要注意的词组是hard done，受到不公平对待的。 第二段讲了电视积极的一面，如果使用得当的话，它可以提供高质量的娱乐和教育。生词有etymological，词源的。 第三段说很多青年会把宝贵时间用于收看垃圾节目，需要注意的词组是by dint of，由于；生词有inordinate，过度的，过多的；trough，水槽，低谷，这里意译为深渊。

【原文】 我们要创造更加良好的政治环境和更加自由的学术氛围，让人民追求真理、崇尚理性、尊重科学，探索自然的奥秘、社会的法则和人生的真谛。做学问、搞科研，尤其需要倡导“独立之精神，自由之思想”。正因为有了充分的学术自由，像牛顿这样在人类历史上具有伟大影响的科学家，才能够思潮奔腾、才华迸发，敢于思考前人从未思考过的问题，敢于踏进前人从未涉足的领域。不久前，我同中国科学家交流时提出，要大力营造敢于创造、敢冒风险、敢于批判和宽容失败的环境，鼓励自由探索，提倡学术争鸣。 我们历来主张尊重世界文明的多样性，倡导不同文明之间的对话、交流与合作。我国已故著名社会学家费孝通先生，上世纪30年代曾就读于伦敦政治经济学院并获得博士学位，一生饱经沧桑。他在晚年提出：“各美其美，美人之美，美美与共，世界大同。” 费老先生的这一人生感悟，生动反映了当代中国人开放包容的胸怀。 【参考译文】 We should create a better political environment and a freer academic atmosphere in which people can pursue truth, exercise reasoning and respect science, in which the mysteries of nature, the laws governing society and the true meaning of life can be fully explored. The spirit of independence and freedom in thinking is particularly important in academic studies and research. It was in an environment of academic freedom that great scientists like Isaac Newton, who had a profound impact on human history, were able to bring out their best, probe issues not questioned by predecessors and blaze a new trail. In my recent conversation with some Chinese scientists, I called for creating an environment which encourages innovation, criticism and risk-taking and tolerates failure, an environment that encourages free exploration of new things and stimulates academic debate. We have always called for respecting the diversity of civilizations and advocated dialogue, exchanges and cooperation among them. The late Mr. Fei Xiaotong, a well-known Chinese sociologist, received his PhD at the London School of Economics and Political Science in the 1930s. Having gone through many vicissitudes in life, he concluded in his late years that "The world will be a harmonious place if people appreciate their own beauty and that of others, and work together to create beauty in the world." These thoughts best illustrate the open and inclusive mindset of China today. 【评析】 出自温总理在英国皇家学会上的演讲。6月27日，温总理到访英国皇家学会，发表了“中国改革开放以来的发展变化及未来中国的走向”为主题的演讲，其中涉及大量国家政治经济、社会建设、科技发展、人民生活等宏大议题。 文中关键词有：独立精神，spirit of independence；学术自由，academic freedom；文明多样性，diversity of civilizations；学术争鸣，academic debate等。 文中开篇第一句的难点在于断句并找出文中暗含的关系。同学们一般采用的就是全部并列，忽略前后之间暗含的关系，示范译文处理为“in which”的关系。 “大力营造敢于创造、敢冒风险、敢于批判和宽容失败的环境”考察的是学生在汉译英时词性转换的能力，译文通过“encourages innovation, criticism and risk-taking and tolerates failure”意译出原文。 专有名词，如牛顿、伦敦政治经济学院，也比较考验学生的常识积累。 “各美其美，美人之美，美美与共，世界大同。”这就要求拥有一定的文化积淀，准确理解其内涵，并用通俗易懂的语言转化为英文。

2014年春季上海中高级口译考试于今日3月16日开考，沪江英语在考后第一时间提供真题、解析、答案信息，本文为2014年3月高级口译听力真题 Spot Dictation部分，由沪江网校提供。 Part A: Spot Dictation My topic today is how to address the problem of hunger and starvation, which still exists in many parts of the world. To end hunger starts with people's own productivity. A dangerous and patronizing cliche we often hear is: give a man a fish and feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for life. People living with chronic hunger have generations of wisdom about 'fishing' — the problem is the barbed wire around the lake. The hunger project announced recently by the United Nations cut through the barbed wire, addressing the underlying social conditions that systematically deny hungry people the opportunity they need to end their own hunger. When we invest in a hunger project, we are investing in people's productivity and giving people a chance to translate their hard work into improved well-being. We are ensuring that people get the opportunities which are rightfully theirs. Too often hungry people are isolated, marginalized and exploited. Mobilizing communities and building local organizations is critically important — both to sustain the work we do and to get more out of our precious resources and efforts. When people come together to work, a kind of social capital is created that can compensate for the lack of financial capital in rural areas. In Africa, a unique feature of the hunger project's work is to organize villages to work cooperatively on community land to produce food for food banks. This fosters collective responsibility and action for a better future for all. Another example is in some Asian countries, such as India and Bangladesh, where hunger project volunteer animators have catalyzed the creation of over 1,100 local organizations throughout the country. With nearly 50% ran by women, these local groups create savings programs and invest in individual and collective income generating enterprises, including sowing, tailoring and weaving projects, bakeries and small businesses, fish and poultry farming, bee keeping and plant nurseries. The impact of these enterprises is enormous. As women have become economically empowered, the decision-making roles have increased. As family incomes have often tripled, parents are sending more children — both girls and boys — to school. 【解析】 本篇文章是关于如何解决世界上许多地方仍然存在的饥荒问题，形式属于公共演讲类文章，话题hunger and starvation不是很晦涩，考生应较容易理解。该文通过名人名言引入，表明结束饥荒要以提高人们自身的生产力为源头，介绍了hunger project，后面运用了两个例子进行具体说明和阐述。文章难度属于中等，介绍思路清晰，较易抓取关键信息。但文高级口译考试于今日3月16日开考，沪江英语在考中有部分词汇或发音，可能仍会对考生造成困扰：如cliché，barbed wire，marginalized，animators，catalyzed等。建议考生平时多关注与生活息息相关的公共演讲类文章和常用名人名言。

通性，多多积累。本段落中多次出现定于从句，因此备考时，这一语法注意在翻译实践中提升。 Passage Translation E-C 2 You may ask, “Is all these concern about sarcasm in language really important? Are there more serious issues facing women today?“Of course, there are many serious issues facing women. I mean, there are so many that I could mention. The aids quashes, workplace and equality, the way the mass media trace women, that is, the way they stereotype women and so on. But I’d like to point out that in addition to these issues. The language question is also on the minds of international organizations, such as, United Nations, who try very hard to avoid sarcasm in their publications. The issue isn’t just the words themselves but the ideas behinds the words. 【参考译文】 你可能会问：“所有有关讽刺的语言真的很重要吗？”“当今妇女面临的还有更严重的问题吗？”当然，妇女面临着更多更严重的问题。我的意思是，在这方面我可以提到的话题很多。艾滋病撤消，工作场所和平等，大众媒体对妇女的描述，即他们刻板地用老一套方式对待妇女等。不过，我想指出的是除了这些问题，语言问题也是国际组织需面临的问题。如联合国极力避免在其出版物中用嘲讽语言。这个问题不只是语言本身，而是语言背后的思想实质。 【评析】 该高级口译考试于今日9月15日开考，沪江英语在考段落主要强调讽刺性语言运用问题。其他提到一些列举的妇女面临的问题与该问题对比突出语言问题也急需重视起来。因此翻译时 ，理解全段落的主旨大意之后，再下笔就容易多了。 关键词： sarcasm n. 讽刺，挖苦，嘲笑 quash v. 撤销；宣布无效 publication n. 出版物
