09年9月上海中级口译真题及解析、答案1

立：09年9月上海中级口译阅读解析〔完整PassageVI这篇文章为记叙文，也有一定的难度。文章讲述了一个媒体工作者户外拍摄的经历。文章开篇语句较为简单，学生容易入手，讲了主人公因获得意外的工作时机，参与了外出实景拍摄有了真实的饿感受，感受到拍摄过程中的危险，而这些事他之前一个人旅游时所从未感受过的。文章出题按常规思路，属于边读边做类型。但由于考试时间比较紧张，第五篇阅读又较有难度，很多考生反映，在考试中放弃了这篇文章。较为可惜。昂立：09年9月上海中级口译英译汉解析大了，不适合读童话故事。Literallytruebook,literally表示“几乎〞，放在这里成写实的书籍。昂立：09年9月上海中级口译汉译英解析新东方：09年9月上海中级口译句子听译解析1.Workerswhocanstilldemonstratetheircapacitytocarryouttheirworkshouldnotbeaskedtoretire,simplybecausetheyhavereachedacertainage.2.Wehadonlyexpectedaround20peopletoapplyforthatpost,buttwiceasmanyshowedup.Sowehadtoworkovernightforthearrangementofinterviews.3.ManyAmericancompaniesnowunderstandthattheymuststudyChineselaws,tradepracticesandcultureinordertobemoreeffectiveindoingbusinesswiththeirnewtradingparnters.4.Notlongago,peoplewerestillarguingoverwhetherornotclimatechangewasactuallytakingplace.Nowthereisbroadconsensusthatitishappening,andthathumanactivitiesarelargelytoblame.5.Itisknownthathumanintelligenceisattributabletobothheredityandenvironment,butthegeneticfactorsaremoreimportantthantheenvironmentalones.第一句难度中等，与现实颇为贴切，不需做太多笔记即能翻译，考生应注意前后语序的调整。第二句出现了数字，但非常简单，20和twice，稍做笔记即可。第三句中出现了列举，新东方课堂上特地强调过列举的重要性，不管是哪种词性都必须笔记，所以考生必须记下句中的Chineselaws,tradepracticesandculture。第四句的主题是大家熟悉的环境问题，句中难词broadconsensus〔广泛一致〕，即使考生一时没有听懂，也可以根据句中but的转折关系判断出。第五句讲的是人类的智商。一开始考生听到attributable可能会卡壳，但课上我特别提醒过，碰到不懂的字就放弃而不要过多纠缠。因此当听到之后的heredity和environment，就应该能正常联想到是影响智商的因素。09年9月上海中级口译Statement原文及讲解1.AreyoulookingforsomeonewhocantranslatethiscontractintoPortuguese?Whataboutournewsecretary,IhearshehadstayedinBrazilforseveralyears.2.Findingemploymentisnoteasythesedayseveninbigcities.IfIwereyou,Iwouldbedelightedwihsuchajoboffer.3.AlsopresentattheconferenceisDr.Madison,whowilljoinourdiscussionthisafternoontogiveanexpertviewonthecurrentsituationofglobaleconomy.4.Ifyouintendtotrybungeejumping,mostcountriesrequirethatyoubeovertheageof18,andjoinabungeejumpingclub,orbeproperlyinstructedforthesport.5.Keepingabusinessfirmrunningisfarmoredifficultthanstartingit.Accordingtocurrentstatistics,twothirdsofnewbusinessfirmswillfailinthefirstfiveyears.6.Scientistsreportthathuntingoreatingwildanimalsnotonlydestroythebalanceofnature,butalsoruntheriskofbeinginfectedbyvirusfromanimals.7.Wecanneverlearnaforeignlanguageinthesamewayasweacquireourfirst.Forevena3-year-oldchildcanhavethousandsofhoursofcontactwithhismothertongue.8.Onceyouenrollinfullorpart-timecoursesatthiscollege,ourservicesareallfreeofcharge,exceptthatyoupay30penceacopyforanyphotocopyingmadehere.9.IfyouhaveyettoappointanewsalesmanagerinchargeofourL.A.office,Mrs.Colemanwasbornthereandhasgoodconnections.10.Supposethegasolinetankofyourcarholds20gallonsandyouaverage16milestothegallon,howfarcanyoudriveonatanktullofgasoline?本次Statements题并没有特别的难句，都是新东方课堂上分类详述过的，比方第二句的虚拟语气、第四和第九句的条件句型、第十句的数字计算等。最难的莫过于最后一句，考生乍一听可能不知所云，但我们在课堂上提到过数字题的考法无非两种――直接答案型和计算，而计算也不会超出加减乘除的范围。因此只要记下20gallons和16miles的关键字，应该能想到将两者相乘。牵涉到的话题以商务和经济居多，比方第一句的商务翻译、第二句的求职、第三句的全球经济形势、第五句的企业运营、第九句招揽人才等，参加明年3月考试的同学应该引起重视。09年9月上海中级口译Talks&Conversation解析“可怜天下父母心〞是第一篇对话的主题。女生抱怨自己的父母太守旧〔old-fashioned〕，很难跟他们相处〔noteasytoputupwith〕，而且永远没时间坐下来跟自己谈心。男生觉得自己的父母太容易焦虑，至今把自己当小孩看，什么都不放心。但两人静下心来想想，也能渐渐体会爸妈的心情，父母永远是最爱自己的人。第二篇的主题是我们中国人的骄傲－－－张衡的地动仪〔seismoscope〕。虽然科学技术日新月异，但地震一直以来都极难预测，更不要提防止了。然而，在公元200年前，张衡就创造了世界上第一台能够准确记录地震的精密仪器，并记下了公元138年的洛阳地震。尽管文章中有些生字难字出现，但根据关键字earthquake，record等，以及人名ZhangHeng，考生们应该能够轻易猜出文章的主题。第三篇继续回到轻松的话题－－－度假。当两个学生好不容易抱完佛脚考完期末考试之后，在学生中心讨论起了假期的目的地。男生觉得，相比美国，更应留在英国度假，原因是英格兰近，旅行花费少，可供支配的钱就多了，并且可以打打短工，准备之后的学费。而女生并不担忧开销，因此更向往遥远的美国，那样就有更多的地方去参观游览，比方纽约、旧金山、大峡谷〔新东方课堂上我曾经介绍过〕以及迪斯尼乐园。第四篇一如既往的成为了整个五篇中最难的一篇，讲的是青少年的压力。这个话题很现实，在残酷的竞争中，现今的青少年天真无邪的童年时光变短了，更早地成人化了，很小开始就要面临诸如金钱、家庭问题、同龄人的接受度、升学、求职等各种压力，考生在听的时候应该能够感同身受。最后一篇很能吸引人的兴趣，从一开始女士调侃的开场中，大家并不一定能猜出对话中两人的关系。但随着对话的深入，当考生听到女士说一直跟男士工作合作地很愉快，但今天准备要跟男士讨论一个"problemIhaveobserved",并且指望讨论结束后能"anticipateasolutionworkedoutforthisproblem"，就能明确他们的上下级关系，并感觉到紧张的气氛了。接着，她指出男士在过去的一个月中迟到五次，工作效率降低，甚至每次午饭归来都一身酒气的事实。男士百般抵赖，女士仍严肃地建议他去找心理咨询，并警告他如果再酗酒，将直接被炒鱿鱼。整个五篇文章，如果考生能够按照我们在新东方课堂上讲解的技巧，寻找诸如转折、因果、数字、比照等出题关键字，找出答案还是有很大把握的。09年9月上海中级口译句子听译解析09年9月上海中级口译Statement解析09年9月中级口译听力原文〔终极完整版〕SpotDictationForcenturies,peoplehavebeenfightingoverwhethergovernmentsshouldallowtradebetweencountries.Therehavebeen,andprobablyalwayswillbetwosidestotheargument.Somepeoplearguethatjustlettingeverybodytradefreelyisbestforboththecountryandtheworld.Othersargue,thattradewithothercountriesmakesitharderforsomepeopletomakeagoodliving.Bothsidesareatleastpartlyright.Internationaltrademattersalot.It'safactonthelifeofpeopleareenormous.Imagineaworldinwhichyourcountrydidnottradeatallwithothercountries.Imaginewhatkindofjobyouwouldbelikelytoget.Andwhatgoodsyoucouldbuyornotbuyinsuchaworld.FortheUnitedStatesforexample,startbyimaginingthatitlivedwithoutits70billiondollarsayearinimportedoil,andcutbackonitsenergyusebecausetheremainingdomesticoilandotherenergysourcesweremoreexpensive.Producersandconsumersinotherpartsoftheeconomywouldfeelthesameiftheyweresuddenlystrippedaforeign-madegoodslikeCDplayersandclothing.Ontheexportside,supposethatBoeingcoulds
