口译教程CHALLENGING INTERPRETING: A COURSEBOOK OF INTERPRETING SKILLS编审：林郁如主编：雷天放 陈 菁Lesson 223 Yo-Yo Ma 今天将与我们见面的是我们这个时代最伟大的大提琴家-马友友。作为大提琴演奏家，马友友的职业生涯已经横跨了20多个年头，期间他发布了50多张专辑。他的音乐获得过许多奖项，其中包括令人叹服的14项格莱美大奖。他也曾经在许多重要的场合演奏，如格莱美的颁奖仪式和奥运会的庆典活动。马友友是出生在法国的华裔，父母都是音乐家，母亲是歌唱家，父亲是作曲家。第一次正式登台演出的时候，马友友只有5岁。随后他随家人迁居到了美国。4年后，年仅9岁的马友友就在纽约极具声望的卡耐基音乐大厅登台演出了。后来马友友进入朱莉亚音乐学院学习提琴演奏。从那儿他转入哈佛大学，并获得人类学学位。他在哈佛的求学经历以及多元的文化背景都造就了今天的马友友。而今，马友友仍在继续他的音乐之路，并且积极地与来自世界各地的各种流派的音乐家合作。他的音乐灵感受到人和大自然的激发。在马友友看来，大提琴是他声带的延伸。他演奏时最重要的一点就是全时全情地投入，并且努力将音乐的内容传递给现场观众。24 CNN interview with Jet LiCNN 记者：祝贺英雄所取得的成功。请问您在英雄里扮演的角色是否与你通常演的角色很相似呢？JL: 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 记者：为什么你会这样说呢？你演过近30部电影，而英雄是如何与其他影片不同的呢？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 grows up into an outstanding Kongfu master. He takes revenge and kills the bad guys. But “Hero” has a much broader theme.CNN 记者：就比如很像卧虎藏龙？JL: No, its totally different. I think Ang Lee is a very talented director. He uses martial arts to talk about love and girls, you know But Zhang Yimou tries to tell about Chinese culture, Chinese thinking and their hopes through martial arts. CNN 记者：含义的确很深。我们知道您的处女作是1979年拍摄的少林寺，那时你还是个十几岁的少年。影片在亚洲引起了轰动，并且还加拍了两部续集。我想问的是，您是如何从一位武术冠军成为一名好莱坞的动作明星的？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 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 记者：这听起来似乎是矛盾的，对吗？您是一个打斗专家，但您却要谈和平？JL: Thats right, because Chinese culture is not just martial arts. Thats only the physical part. 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.Lesson3 3.3 史蒂夫 福布斯谈福布斯我祖父20世纪初来到美国。他离开英格兰时身上没什么钱。连他在内兄弟姐妹10人，不过他自小就受到很好的教育。像许多人一样，他也是满怀憧憬和理想来到美国的。他创办了福布斯杂志，报道那些实干家，那些改变商业社会的人。我祖父常说，做生意不是堆积百万财富，而是为带来幸福快乐。如今我们讲到公司、经营，文章中会用到许多数字，但焦点一直放在人上面。对公司来说，最重要的是人，而不是资产负债表。以前我祖父是这样看的，我们现在也是这样看的。当前的世界信息泛滥，足以将人淹没，人们迫切需要一本刊物来解读这些信息，告诉读者哪些重要，哪些不重要。这就是福布斯的价值所在。我们提供额外的视角和判断。我们从不停留于表面，总想看看公司到底是如何经营的，正是当今芜杂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 specializing in the design, manufacture and sales of handicrafts.

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 members 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 family 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 mutually 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, 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 dinner 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 degenerate 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 question 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 students. 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: 这实际上是出于多种考虑。我不否认有商业考虑，办大学也要花钱，不过教育交流是主要目的。奖学金难申请是因为钱要政府出，有时候纳税人有意见，说政府应该把奖学金给本国学生而不是外国学生。所以很困难。 但我们现在已经在扩大奖学金范围。事实上，过去几年，中国学生来英国留学生人数大大增加了，这说明奖学金难归难，你们还是有办法来留学的。 我想教育交流在未来会非常重要，我也希望，每一次外国学生来英国学习，回去时就像是一个英国大使，到他的国家为我们宣传，不管是在中国，俄罗斯还是哪个国家。所以我们在扩大教育规模，吸收更多海外留学生。所以你们继续申请奖学金，我们会尽力帮助的。Q: Mr. Blair, welcome to Tsinghua University. I was deeply impressed by your 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 two countries? If so, what is your solution?A: 讲到学校的课程，既然我听说了这件事，我打算回去看看究竟，不过大学做出这样的决定原因很多，也许是经济原因，或者是他们面临某种困难，这也是时有的事。要把想做的事都办成，钱总是不够的。不过我可以向你保证，我们会一如既往地欢迎中国学生来英国学习，就算杜伦大学没有合适的专业，其他大学也肯定有。 Lesson 5 5.3 Premier Wens Speech at the Opening Ceremony of the 15th General Assembly Session of the World Tourism Organization Mr. Francesco Frangialli, Secretary-General of the World Tourism Organization,Ms. Louise Frechette, Deputy Secretary-General of the United Nations,All Delegates, ladies and gentlemen, At this October time when Beijing is offering us its charming autumn scenery in the fresh air and clearest weather, the 15th General Assembly Session of the World Tourism Organization is officially opened here. On behalf of the Chinese government, I would like to extend our sincere welcome to all the guests here and to express our warm congratulations on the convening of this session./Tourism is a nice and pleasant activity that combines sightseeing, recreation and health care. Tourism has been developing all along with the progress of the times. Since the middle of the 20th century, modern tourism has been growing at a fast pace around the world. The number of tourists has ever been on the rise, the scale of the tourism industry has been in constant expansion, and the position of tourism in the economy has clearly risen. Tourism serves gradually as an important bridge of cultural exchange, friendship and further exchanges, and exerts more and more extensive influence on the human life and social progress among various countries. /As a country with a civilization with a long history, China is also a big oriental country full of modern vitality, not to mention its unique, rich and varied tourism resources. Besides the picturesque natural scenery, profound history and extensive culture, China embodies the different folk customs of 56 nationalities. Currently, there are 29 places that have been listed as World Cultural and Natural Heritage sites. Thanks to the further push by the opening up and reform, Chinas modern construction is surging ahead, and the cities and the country are experiencing daily changes. The ancient glory of China and its modern boom add radiance and charm to each other, joining to create most favorable conditions for developing our domestic and international tourism. /The first 20 years of the 21 century represent an important strategic period for China to achieve the all-round construction of a well-off society and to speed up its socialist modernization. It also provides a favorable time for the further development of Chinas tourism industry. We shall promote tourism as an important industry in Chinas national economy, properly protect and utilize our tourism resources and try to achieve sustainable tourism development. The Chinese government welcomes all international friends to visit China. We shall do our best to protect their health and safety; and at the same time encourages more Chinese people to go abroad for visits. We are ready to develop extensive cooperation with other counties and contribute to global tourism growth./For many years, the World Tourism Organization has made active and effective efforts for the promotion of tourism prosperity and development around the globe. The World Tourism Organization has become a specialized agency of the United Nations. We would like to offer our sincere congratulations. We believe this WTO General Assembly session will give a major push to the further prosperity and development of tourism in the world./Finally, I wish the 15th General Assembly Session of the World Tourism Organization every success.Thank you. 5.4 世界旅游组织简介世界旅游组织是政府间唯一接纳旅游经营着的组织，它受联合国委托，在各国旅游业的宣传和发展工作中起着核心的作用。它成立于1975年，总部设在西班牙首都马德里。世界旅游组织的宗旨是促进和发展旅游事业，使之有利于经济发展、国际间相互了解、和平与繁荣以及不分种族、性别、语言或宗教信仰、尊重人权和人的基本自由，并强调在贯彻这一宗旨时，要特别注意发展中国家在旅游事业方面的利益。世界旅游组织的成员分为正式成员、联系成员和附属成员三类。正式成员是指所有的主权国家。联系成员指的是那些不必负责外交事务的地区。这些成员需要经过为他们承担外交责任的政府的批准。附属成员的范围十分广泛，包括直接从事旅游业或与旅游业有关的组织和企业，如：航空公司以及其他运输公司、饭店、餐馆，旅游批发商和零售商、金融界、保险公司、出版界等机构。到2003年，世界旅游组织有正式成员包括141个国家，7个联系成员和350个附属成员，它们代表着私营业者、教育机构、旅游协会以及地方旅游管理机构。5.5 现代化与文化遗产的保护主：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月底来的。主：3 years. 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谈谈经验，不过从周边城市的所见所闻，我也会有同样的看法。所有的外国人都非常清楚地看到，中国和中国的许多城市都正在快速地发展。我想在东部沿海城市更是如此。到处耸立着崭新的高楼大厦，马路变得更加宽阔。主：What do think of all these tall buildings and widened roads?客：这个问题提的好，但是我觉得这是个相当复杂的问题。主：Why is it complicated?客：这个问题得从两个不同角度来谈。一方面是我作为一个外国人所期望的。我想看的，我感兴趣的。和中国人想看的或者想让我看的肯定是不一样的。另一方面就是现代化与旧城文化保护相互冲突的问题。主：Then lets see what are the differences between a foreigners expectations and what the Chinese would like to see.客：这个问题看来最好这么来谈。一般情况下，中国朋友带我们参观城市时，都是带我们去看现代建筑。比如机场、大桥、会展中心。等等城市里最新的东西。但是外国人对老城区、小街小巷、古旧建筑更感兴趣，。也就是那些使这个城市有别于我们所看过的其他城市的东西。一个外国人到过世界上的其他地方可能比一般中国人多，所见过的机场和桥梁对他们来说没什么太大的不同，但是西安的庙宇他们就觉得有别与法国的教堂，更重要的是，中国城市的老房子更有别于英国城市的老房子。主：That is to say, foreigners are interested in the things unique in China, but there is a contradiction between modernization 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：当然，繁荣与发展对你们来说是很重要的，对我们来说也是很重要。问题是当一个国家发展的时候，人民的生活水平也随之提高，甚至可能提高很快。他们需要让别人看到这种变化的事实。你们似乎忽略了对以前事物保护的需要，不止是保护那些庙宇或者宫殿。而是应该保护人们居住的房屋，保护老城区的原貌。文化遗产一旦遭到破坏，你们是无法挽回这种损失的。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 contradiction 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每当谈及饮食卫生问题时，你可能会直接联想到青少年，其实，许多不良饮食习惯开始于孩提时代。小孩子的不良饮食习惯有许多表现方式，它包括用餐没有规律，经常吃的过饱或经常饿肚子，有些孩子可能已经开始食用最没有营养的垃圾食品，专吃某一食品或着不愿吃某一食品。当你的孩子明显地表现出只想吃花生酱和果冻三明治时，作为家长就要注意寻找孩子缺乏卫生饮食习惯的原因。假如家长怀疑他们的孩子有了不良的饮食习惯，他们就该带孩子看健康方面的专家，比如通科的医生、心理医生或者营养师。但是在帮助孩子改变态度以及不良习惯的过程中，家长本身也能起到一个重要的作用，因为孩子会仿效他们家长的饮食习惯。比如说，如果家长正在节食，他们应该注意到他们没有让他们的孩子误以为面包和粮食是不好的食品。家长们对培养健康的饮食习惯应该发挥积极的作用，因为全家都需要健康，改变不良的饮食习惯应该落实到每个家庭成员。孩子们的不良饮食习惯应该尽早就能被发现。6.4 国际烟草控制公约女士们、先生们：首先，我要告诉大家一个好消息。一个以降低死亡与疾病主要原因为目的的公约刚刚生效。这个公约叫烟草控制框架公约。它是由世界卫生组织主持达成的第一个国际公共卫生条约。已经有160个国家在公约上签字，签了约的国家必须在他们的国家批准该公约。迄今为止，已批准了公约的国家接近60个。但是只有40个国家需要批准使之生效。该公约在2005年2月27日生效。各缔约国必须提高香烟和其他烟草制品的价格和税收，他们必须打击非法的烟草制品贸易，必须采取措施减少公共场所被动吸烟等。公约还禁止烟草广告以及烟草商进行赞助活动。但是这样的限制必须不会冒犯该国的宪法规定。公约号召各烟草公司为大众生产香烟替代品。健康的警告词不应该包括可能让吸烟者误以为某些香烟的危害程度比其他香烟小的信息。专家说所有的香烟都是不安全的。缔约国还必须支持开展帮助人们戒烟的活动。应该开展告诫人们不要吸烟的教育活动。世界卫生组织的研究表明，全球目前有烟民约10亿人。80%多的烟民生活在发展中国家。经常吸烟的人有一半死于吸烟，每年世界上有近500万人因吸烟而死亡，专家指出，按照目前的增长速度，到2020年，这个数字将达到1，000万人。吸烟导致并增加了患各种疾病的危险。这些疾病包括癌症和心脏病。吸烟的孕妇可能伤害胎儿。最近研究提供了更多的事实，证明孩子从小就吸入烟雾，他们长大后得肺癌的危险性增大。烟草控制框架公约广受世界人们的欢迎，但是补充的协议还需要进一步完善。比如，发展中国家贯彻公约需要资金的支持。对于那些不能实行的国家还没有处罚的条例，不过他们的表现将在联合国大会接受检验。我的话完了，谢谢大家。6.5 HIV/AIDS disease prevention A: 王先生，早上好。非常感谢您抽时间接受我们的采访。请您介绍一下中国目前艾滋病传播的情况。B: Well, in China, HIV/AIDS has become a very serious problem related to social development. There have been cases of people being accidentally infected with HIV/AIDS, through accepting polluted blood from hospitals, babies acquiring the disease from their mothers, having improper sexual relationships. From the time we discovered the first AIDS patient in 1985, our country has entered a period 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: 您认为增长这么快的原因在哪里？B: First, because of poverty, people lack education and information 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: 政府已经采取哪些具体的措施来控制艾滋病在中国的蔓延呢？有什么国际合作吗？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 the only way for people to avoid HIV infection.A: 贵国政府在发布警报及增强公众对艾滋病传播危险性的认识方面一直都在怎么做？特别是在农村地区？您认为要解决这个问题还应该进一步做什么？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 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: 非常感谢您回答我们这么多问题。预祝你们在与艾滋病的斗争中取得成功。B: Thank you. Lesson 77.4 罗格在雅典奥运会上的致辞希腊共和国总统先生，亲爱的希腊朋友，今晚，全世界向希腊致意三重敬意。人类感谢你，因为你于2，800年前，在奥林匹亚创立了奥林匹克运动会。世界崇敬你，因你在现代奥林匹克运动的奠基人皮埃尔.德.顾拜的号召下，于1896年就在雅典重新恢复了这项盛事。最重要的是，今晚全世界为你欢呼致意，感谢你举办这一届奥运会，让奥林匹克运动会回到了它的诞生之地。感谢所有支持奥林匹克运动会的人，特别要感谢伟大的自愿者们，没有他们的付出，就没有今天的盛会。所有参赛的运动员，我想对你们说的是，这是你们理应享受的一刻，是你们的所有辛劳和奉献的巅峰时刻。请通过你们的行为拒绝兴奋剂和奉守公平竞技的原则，让我们相信体育运动正日益变得可信和纯洁。我们的世界需要和平、宽容和友爱。来自世界上202个国家的运动员，请向我们展示：体育运动能克服民族、政治、宗教和语言的障碍将人类联合在一起。愿本届奥运会能真正体现在此制定的奥林匹克休战书的精神，在和平中举行。感谢雅典！感谢希腊！现在，我荣幸地邀请希腊共和国总统宣布第28届现代奥林匹克运动会开幕。7.5 The Olympic flame illuminates Beijing June 8-9, 2004: history shall forever remember the date. The Olympic Flame came down to Chinas Divine Land with mankinds yearning for peace, friendship, civilization and progress and with the Greek peoples friendship for the Chinese people. rom Travling from Olympia to the Great Wall, the blazing Olympic torch has brought the Olympic spirit to Beijing, and, after illuminating Chinese peoples desire for peace, their wish for participation and their appreciation of the Olympic spirit, the torch has traveled across the five continents to every corner of the earth with the Chinese peoples hearty blessing. With the centennial impressiv
