翻譯 高級(jí)口譯練習(xí)

1、1.中文是世界上最古老的文字之一。傳說中的倉(cāng)頡造字讓中國(guó)人有了共同的根。從甲骨文到簡(jiǎn)體漢字,中文伴隨著中華民族綿延至今。中文鑄造類中華民族的精神品格。比如說,中文書寫各筆每畫都要伸縮有度,相互映襯,取長(zhǎng)補(bǔ)短,以使整個(gè)字渾然一體。這體現(xiàn)了中國(guó)人謙讓包容、合作共贏的處事風(fēng)格。中文富有哲理,很多字由意生字,寓意豐富。中文的“信”字由“人”和“言”組成,意思就是“人要言而有信”。這是中國(guó)人的做人原則,也是中國(guó)與世界各國(guó)的相處之道。中文的優(yōu)美、簡(jiǎn)練舉世公認(rèn)。中文是從象形字演變而來,逐步發(fā)展成一種可以欣賞的書寫藝術(shù)。這是世界上是獨(dú)特的。Chinese language is one of the most

2、 time-honored languages in the world. Legend has it that CangJie created the Chinese characters, which formed the common root for Chinese people. Chinese, from the inscriptions on bones or tortoise shells in the earliest times to the simplified characters in the present, has been the thread along th

3、e progress of Chinese nation. It has forged the common spirit of the Chinese nation. For example, Chinese calligraphy requires every stroke to be flexible and complementary to each other so that in combination these strokes form the harmonious whole. It is a vivid symbol of Chinese peoples modesty a

4、nd inclusiveness, cooperative and win-win mindset.Chinese is a philosophical language, with many characters entailing profound meaning based on their ingredients of significance. For instance, “integrity”(信in Chinese is composed of two parts: person (人 and word (言, signifying that a person should be

5、 as good as his word. It is the basic principle for Chinese people to conduct themselves and for China to coexist with other nations in the world. Chinese language enjoys worldwide renown of elegance and conciseness. It develops from pictograph to the calligraphic art for general appreciation, which

6、 is quite unique in the world.2. Speaking two languages rather than just one has obvious practical benefits in an increasingly globalized world. But in recent years, scientists have begun to show that the advantages of bilingualism are even more fundamental than being able toconverse with a wider ra

7、nge of people. Being bilingual, it turns out, makes you smarter. It can have a profound effect on your brain, improving other skills not related to language.This view of bilingualism is remarkably different from the understanding of bilingualism through much of the 20th century. Researchers, educato

8、rs and policy makers long considered a second language to be an interference that hindered a childs academic and intellectual development.But this interference, researchers are finding out, isnt so much a handicap as a blessing in disguise. It forces the brain to resolve internal conflict, giving th

9、e mind a workout that strengthens its ability of knowledge acquisition. The bilingual experience appears to influence the brain from infancy to old age and there is reason to believe that it may also apply to those who learn a second language later in life.在當(dāng)今日益全球化的世界里,顯然會(huì)說兩門語(yǔ)言要比單單說一種有實(shí)際的好處。然而,科學(xué)家近年

10、來發(fā)現(xiàn),雙語(yǔ)的優(yōu)勢(shì)不僅僅在于能夠跟更多人交流。事實(shí)證明,成為雙語(yǔ)人才,能夠使人更加聰明。這種能力會(huì)對(duì)人的大腦產(chǎn)生深遠(yuǎn)影響,不僅能夠提高語(yǔ)言能力,更能改善其他技能。這種對(duì)于雙語(yǔ)的看法同20世紀(jì)的看法有著顯著不同。研究員、教育家和決策者曾認(rèn)為第二種語(yǔ)言會(huì)對(duì)兒童造成干擾,妨礙其學(xué)業(yè)及其智力發(fā)展。但是研究員發(fā)現(xiàn),這種干擾與其說是一個(gè)絆腳之石,不如說是一種塞翁之福。它使得大腦自我消化兩種語(yǔ)言的內(nèi)在沖突,訓(xùn)練心智,能夠加強(qiáng)人對(duì)知識(shí)的吸收能力。一個(gè)人從孩提時(shí)期到耄耋之際均會(huì)持續(xù)受到掌握雙語(yǔ)所帶來的影響。人們也有理由相信那些后天習(xí)得第二門語(yǔ)言的人也會(huì)受到此影響。3.博鰲,十多年前還是個(gè)鮮為人知的小漁村,現(xiàn)在已

11、成為可以共商亞洲發(fā)展之計(jì)的大平臺(tái)。博鰲是在中國(guó)和亞洲的開放發(fā)展中快速成長(zhǎng)起來的,它的開放和變化表明了中國(guó)與亞洲,亞洲與世界的聯(lián)系日益密切。可以說,身在博鰲,能“博覽天下,博采眾長(zhǎng)”,博鰲亞洲論壇是一個(gè)立足亞洲、面向世界、開放包容的大平臺(tái)。博鰲亞洲論壇在凝聚亞洲共識(shí)、傳播亞洲聲音、促進(jìn)亞洲合作方面發(fā)揮了重要作用,已成為全球最具影響力的經(jīng)濟(jì)論壇之一。Boao, a rarely-known fishing village just one decade ago, has now evolved into a splendid platform for planning out the Asian

12、blueprint. Maturing amid the advancement of China and Asia at large, its openness and progress sheds light upon the increasingly intimate connection between China and Asia, as well as that between Asia and the world.With its footing in Asia, outlook towards the global and the accommodation for vario

13、us opinions, Boao presents a worldwide panorama and an inclusion of all-aspect merits. Boao Asia Forum plays a vital role in grouping common grounds, amplifying Asia voice and boosting Asia cooperation, thus constituting one of the most influential economic forums in the world.1、長(zhǎng)句整合:根據(jù)英文多長(zhǎng)句、中文多短句這樣

14、的特點(diǎn),我們需要在中譯英時(shí)動(dòng)動(dòng)腦筋多使用英文復(fù)雜句。英文句子結(jié)構(gòu)嚴(yán)謹(jǐn),我們首先要搭建起句子結(jié)構(gòu),比如在處理”身在博鰲能“博覽天下,博采眾長(zhǎng)”,博鰲亞洲論壇是一個(gè)立足亞洲、面向世界、開放包容的大平臺(tái)?！边@句,譯文采用了“with引導(dǎo)伴隨狀語(yǔ)+博鰲展現(xiàn)出+多賓語(yǔ)”這樣的句子結(jié)構(gòu)。2、同義替換:原文中出現(xiàn)多次“發(fā)展”等類似信息,如果一律只用“development”顯得過于單調(diào),詞匯功底欠缺。因此我們平時(shí)要注意積累同義詞、近義詞,再根據(jù)原文確切意思具體細(xì)化選擇。所以譯文中沒有重復(fù)用詞,用到其他的詞,包括“advancement”“blueprint”“mature”“boost”。3、四字翻譯中文喜

15、歡用四字格,這也是中譯英的一大難點(diǎn)。我們要做的是把四字格的意思解釋出來?！安┯[天下,博采眾長(zhǎng)”的意思大概是“有縱觀全世界的視角,能吸取各方長(zhǎng)處”,如此將其轉(zhuǎn)換成英文。4.人民幣國(guó)際化是國(guó)際社會(huì)普遍關(guān)心的問題,尤其是各位金融界的朋友們。你們關(guān)心的問題是中國(guó)對(duì)于人民幣國(guó)際化是否制訂了一個(gè)時(shí)間表,我講對(duì)這一問題談?wù)勎业目捶?。人民幣?guó)際化主要指的是在貿(mào)易和投資方面人民幣的跨境使用。2008年金融危機(jī)的發(fā)生,使許多人對(duì)現(xiàn)有的國(guó)際貨幣體系失去信心。越來越多的人開始使用人民幣進(jìn)行國(guó)際貿(mào)易,這給人民幣的國(guó)際化進(jìn)程提供了一個(gè)非常好的機(jī)遇。The globalization of RMB has become a

16、 common concern for the international community, particularly the friends of the finance circle. What you care most is whether China has formulated a timetable for the globalization of RMB. I want to share with you my view on that matter. The Globalization of RMB mainly refers to the cross-border us

17、e of RMB in trade and investment. After the outbreak of financial crisis in 2008, many people lose their confidence in the current international currency system and start to trade with RMB. This has given RMB a good opportunity toward its globalization.現(xiàn)在中國(guó)政府在對(duì)外貿(mào)易方面使用人民幣的頻率越來越高。根據(jù)中國(guó)人民銀行2013年的數(shù)據(jù),人民幣跨

18、境結(jié)算達(dá)到了5.16萬(wàn)億元,同比增長(zhǎng)61%。除此之外,上海自貿(mào)區(qū)的建立也給人民幣的國(guó)際化提供了一個(gè)很好的機(jī)遇,成為了人民幣國(guó)際化的推動(dòng)力?？梢哉f,人民幣的國(guó)際化正在快速推進(jìn)盡管現(xiàn)在人民幣國(guó)際化速度較快,但是應(yīng)該指出的是,人民幣國(guó)際化的進(jìn)程時(shí)間不長(zhǎng),基數(shù)很低,所以看起來增長(zhǎng)率顯得很高。人民幣國(guó)際化尤其是在貿(mào)易和投資方面的使用比重還是相對(duì)比率低的。At present, RMB becomes increasingly popular in Chinese governments foreign trade. According to the data from Peoples Bank of C

19、hina in 2103, the RMBs cross-border settlement amount came to 5.6 trillion Yuan, an increase of 61 per cent compared with the corresponding period last year. In addition to that, the founding of Shanghai self-trade zone also became the driving force for its globalization. We can say that RMB is rapi

20、dly becoming a global currency. However, it is worth note that RMB has only a short history for its globalization. It has a relatively low base that makes its growth look dramatic. In fact, the rate for its usage in international trade and investment is still relatively low.我認(rèn)為,中國(guó)目前應(yīng)該做的不是推動(dòng)人民幣的使用,而是

21、為人民幣國(guó)際化創(chuàng)造出良好的條件。用或者不用人民幣應(yīng)該要尊重市場(chǎng)參與者的選擇來決定的。中國(guó)政府最近幾年在做的是減少在法律領(lǐng)域使用對(duì)人民幣不必要限制。同時(shí),中國(guó)政府正在穩(wěn)步推進(jìn)資本項(xiàng)下的人民幣可兌換,以此增加國(guó)際社會(huì)對(duì)于人民幣的信心。I believe that what China needs to do at this stage is not to promote the use of RMB, but to create a favorable environment for its globalization. We should respect the choice of the pa

22、rticipants of the market on whether they use RMB or not. In recent years, the Chinese government is trying to lift the unnecessary legal restrictions on the use of RMB. We are steady promoting the conversion of RMB under the capital accounts, which will increase the confidence of the international c

23、ommunity.總的來說,實(shí)現(xiàn)人民幣國(guó)際化尤其是貿(mào)易和投資領(lǐng)域,以及人民幣跨境使用率明顯提高的話,我們應(yīng)該清楚認(rèn)識(shí)到這是一個(gè)長(zhǎng)久的過程,并不能急于求成。所以我要告訴大家:我們并沒有人民幣國(guó)際化進(jìn)程并沒有設(shè)定時(shí)間表。但是我相信,隨著中國(guó)改革開放的不斷深入,隨著經(jīng)濟(jì)與世界經(jīng)濟(jì)不斷接軌,人民幣國(guó)際化的進(jìn)程必將變得更快,而且這一過程是不可逆轉(zhuǎn)的。In general, we must realize that it takes a long process before RMB becomes a global currency, particularly in trade and investme

24、nt. It also takes time for RMB to have the salient increase cross-border trade. This process can hardly be expedited. Therefore, I want to make clear that China does not have a time-table for RMBs globalization. But I believe that, with the further development of Chinas reform and opening up and its

25、 economy connected more tightly with global economy, the globalization of RMB will accelerate and the process will be irreversible.5. American mythology loves nothing more than the reluctant hero: the man - it is usually a man - whose natural talents have destined him for more than obliging obscurit

26、y. George Washington, we are told, was a leader who would have preferred to have been a farmer. Thomas Jefferson, a writer. Martin Luther King, Jr., a preacher. These men were roused from lives of perfunctory achievement, our legends have it, not because they chose their own exceptionalism, but beca

27、use we, the people, chose it for them. We - seeing greatness in them that they were too humble to observe themselves - conferred on them uncommon paths. Historical circumstance became its own call of duty, and the logic of democracy proved itself through the answer.在美式神話中, 主角通常是那些不知不覺中成為的英雄: 一般而言,他就

28、是一個(gè)人, 因 稟賦異常, 注定此生不能默默無(wú)聞。華盛頓原本更愿意當(dāng)農(nóng)民,而不是領(lǐng)導(dǎo)國(guó)家; 杰弗遜, 曾立志要成為一名作家; 而馬丁路德只是一名牧師.據(jù)說是公眾要求他們不能敷衍塞責(zé)，埋 沒才華; 是我們要求這些偉人必須要振作起來，追求卓越。我們選擇了他們，是因?yàn)槲覀兛?到他們的偉大， -盡管他們謙虛地認(rèn)為自己并不出眾 是我們把他們推上了不尋常的人生 道路。換言之，歷史境遇和民主體制造就了這些英雄。 Neil Armstrong was a hero of this stripe: constitutionally humble, circumstantially noble. Nearly e

29、very obituary written for him this weekend has made a point of emphasizing his sense of privacy, his sense of humility, his sense of the ironic ordinary. Armstrong's famous line, maybe or maybe not so humanly flubbed, neatly captures the narrative: One small step for a man, one giant leap for ma

30、nkind. And yet every aspect of Armstrong's life - a life remembered for one act of bravery but distinguished ultimately by the bravery of banality - made clear: On that day in 1969, he acted on our behalf, out of a sense of mission that was communal rather than personal. The reluctant hero is also the self-sacrifici
