In this sense, a speaker of one language, no matter how skillful and fluent, cannot communicate with a speaker of another unless he learns the others language. 传统上我们认为语言是交流的工具。从这个意义上来说，一个熟练流利地使用某一语言的人如果不懂的另一语言，就无法同讲另一语言的人进行交流。,Yet, different as they are, languages in the world have a great deal in common because they share some basic principles. Moreover, they approach certain specific problems of communication in more or less the same way. 但是，尽管世界上的语言各不相同，它们之间有一些共同的原则，因此有许多共同之处。另外，它们在处理某些特定的交流问题时也或多或少采用相同的方法。,The grammar of a language includes the sound system, the rule of combing words into phrases and sentences, and the way in which sounds and meanings are related. 语法包括声音系统，组词成句的规则以及语音和语义之间联系的规则。,Human language, however, is different from the communication systems of other species. Though a monkey in Asia may communicate with another of the same species in Africa in way, they cannot do so in a creative way. 然而，人类语言与其他五种的交流系统是不同的。虽然亚洲的猴子与非洲的猴子能作某种形式交流，但他们的交流没有创造性。,Parents are childrens first teachers.

However, some people believe that the behavior of students should not be interfered unless it is directly related to learning. 在美国，已有确凿证据表明，社会环境的改变对青少年造成了消极的影响。然而，有些人认为不应该干涉学生的行为，除非它直接影响到学习。,But good teachers should teach values of courtesy, mutual respect, persistence, and responsibility. They should remind students to say “please” and “thank you” and remind them not to interrupt when others are speaking. 但是好的老师应该向学生传授谦和的价值观，培养学生相互尊重的习惯、坚忍不拔的毅力和责任心。教师们应该提醒学生说“请”，和“谢谢”，提醒学生不要打断人家讲话。,As a principal, I would never consider myself a successful educator unless our students graduated not only as successful learners but also as ladies and gentlemen. 作为一名校长，如果我的学生在毕业时能做到品学兼优，我才会认为自己是一个成功的教育者。,I visited Luoyang 28years ago.

The last 28 yeas have been tremendous changes in China.

It celebrates the passing of a peaceful year and indicates the welcome of a new one.,人们通常如何庆祝新年？首先，多代同堂的家庭成员，齐聚家中享受一顿丰盛的团圆饭。除夕夜的团圆饭是整个年头里最具意义的一餐。 How do we celebrate the New Year?

And I hope that all of you taking part in the 1st “National Fitness Campaign of China” have a wonderful day!,口译实考分析 英译汉 Passage 1: In terms of its impact on our society, I think AIDS will certainly be the number one serious public-health hazard going into the next century. / 从对我们社会所造成的影响这个角度来看，我认为艾滋病必定是我们进入下一世纪的头号健康大敌。 AIDS ：Acquired Immure Deficiency Syndrome,Among all the ways and means, a massive educational campaign is the only thing conceivable at the moment that can really help. / 在所有措施中，开展大规模的教育活动是目前唯一行之有效的办法。,Some people argue that a nationwide, or worldwide, educational campaign on AIDS awareness is difficult, expensive and therefore impossible. I think their argument is groundless./ 有些人认为，在全国范围或全世界范围开展提防艾滋病的教育活动难度大，代价高，因而无法实施。我认为这种观点是毫无根据的。,Well have to convince people that theyre better of knowing than not knowing the fact, because they can take actions, treat the problem and control AIDS infection with appropriate drugs. 我们应该使人们相信，了解实际情况总比蒙在鼓里好，因为了解实情后我们便可以行动起来，共同研讨这一问题，并可以用适当的药物来控制疾病的传染。,People from different cultures sometimes do things that make each other uncomfortable, without meaning to or sometimes without even realizing it. / 不同文化背景的人在一起有时会做出一些令对方感到不舒服的事，他们并非故意要这样做，有时甚至连自己也未察觉。,Most Americans are usually spontaneous, friendly and open, and enjoy meeting new people, having guests and ringing people together formally or informally. / 大多数美国人通常天真、率直，友好坦率，喜欢结识人，欢迎客人来访，愿意召集正式的或非正式的聚会。,They tend to be informal and speak freely. So if your American hosts do something that makes you uncomfortable, try to let them know how you feel. They will appreciate your honesty and try not to make you uncomfortable again. / 美国人往往不拘礼节，说话毫无拘束。所以要是你的美国主人做出了使你感到不舒服的事，你应该设法让他们知道你的感受。他们会喜欢你的诚实态度，尽量不再做你不喜欢的事。,Sometimes Americans are said to be superficially friendly. Perhaps it seems so. Just like anywhere else, it takes time to become real friends with people in the United States. 有时美国人的友善会被视为一种表面现象。或许看上去确实是这么一回事。同其他地方一样，与美国人结成真正的朋友是需要一段时间的。,补充：文化差异方面的口译练习,Much business in the United States is conducted on the telephone. The average businessman spends much of his time on the telephone making business contacts. 在美国许多生意都是通过电话谈的。一般的生意人都花很多时间打电话，接洽生意。,However, it usually will not be convenient to make initial contracts between Chinese and U.S. businesses by telephone. 但是，中国公司和美国公司通过电话商讨初步协议通常很不方便。,There is no particular style to American negotiations. The way the negotiations are conducted will vary from one business to another and will depend upon the individuals involved. 与美国人谈判并无特别的样式。谈判的方式视业务不同而不同，取决于参与谈判的人员。,Although Americans have a reputation for making quick decisions, this is not always true when a corporation is involved in a major venture or a large project. Therefore, you should also be prepared for lengthy negotiations. 虽然美国人享有决策果断的声誉，但是，在公司着手进行主要或重大项目时，决策并非总是果断的。因此，你也要做好准备进行冗长的谈判。,中餐桌上最神奇、最有特色的用餐工具莫过于筷子。几千年来我们中国人一直视筷子为一种最简单同时也是最有效的用餐工具。 No eating tools on the Chinese dinner table are more magical and distinctive than the chopsticks. For thousands of years we Chinese have always regarded chopsticks the simplest possible and the most efficient tool for meals.,关于筷子的用料，其种类各有不同，选材包括竹子、木材、玉石、象牙、塑料、金银等。 Chopsticks can be made of a variety of materials, including bamboo, wood, jade, ivory, plastic, gold and silver and so on.,对于西方人来说，掌握用筷的方法和技巧在开始时也许难度很大，但是只要有耐心，用心去练，不久便可以熟练地使用筷子享用中餐。 For Westerners, the mastery of the method and skills for using chopsticks may be quite challenging at the beginning. But as long as you have patience and concentrate on practice, you will soon be able to use chopsticks skillfully enough to enjoy a Chinese meal.,如果想享用一顿真正意义上的中餐，那么花时间耐心学习用筷技艺不仅很有必要，而且也很有趣。 If you want to enjoy a Chinese meal in the real sense, it is not only necessary, but also very interesting, to spend some patient time learning to acquire the skills of using chopsticks.,中国是一个多民族国家，具有经济发展不平衡的特点。在这块辽阔的土地上，人们使用多种语言和方言。 China is a multi-national country featuring unbalanced economic development, In the vast territory, different languages ad various dialects are used. /,几十年来，政府一直号召推广普通话，作为标准汉语，但在相当多的人口中，普通话还未能成为日常使用的交流工具。 Even though the government has called for popularization of Mandarin as the standard Chinese language for decades, it has not become the daily-use communication tool among a considerable number of the people. /,这显然阻碍了经济发展与社会进步。毫无疑问，推广和提倡使用普通话对加快中国改革开放的步伐是举足轻重的。 This obviously hinders economic development and social progress. Undoubtedly the popularization and promotion of Mandarin is vital to speeding up Chinas reform and opening up drive. /,这样做，将有助于提高汉语信息管理技术，因此，符合全体中国人民的根本利益。 It will help improve the technology of information management in Chinese. Therefore, it is the basic interests of all Chinese.,补充有关餐桌礼仪的句子翻译,中国人吃饭用筷子，西方人则用餐刀、餐叉。有些人会用筷子，但大多数人则不行，所以在西方客人摆餐具时，筷子旁边再摆上刀叉是很明智的做法。 Chinese eat with chopsticks while most of the westerners eat
