14、ly ONCE. Now lets begin. 2 女士们，先生们： 早上好 !很荣幸参加此次论坛，与各位共同探讨环保与发展方面的问题。气候变化是环境问题，但归根到底是发展问题。这个问题是在发展进程中出现的，应该在可持续发展框架下解决。只有各方在促进自身发展过 程中不断提高技术水平，积极建立适应可持续发展要求的生产和消费模式，才能从根本上应对气候变化的挑战。TONE TONE 国际社会在推动减少温室气体排放的同时，要充分考虑如何应对已经发生的气候变化，增强发展中国家特别是小岛屿国家和最不发达国家抵御灾害性气候的能力。环境保护是全人类的共同责任。但是，我们要坚持联合国所确立的区别对待的责任原则

15、。这一原则反映了不同国家经济发展水平、历史责任、当前人均排放水平上的差异，是未来国际合作的基础。 TONE TONE 根据这一原则，发达国家应 该完成京都议定书确定的减排目标，向发展中国家提供帮助，并在 2010年后继续率先承担减排义务。不久前，欧盟决定到 2020年将温室气体排放减少 20。我们对此表示欢迎，同时希望其他发达国家也能做出类似承诺。 TONE TONE 发展中国家工业化、城市化、现代化进程远未完成，发展经济、改善民生的任务艰巨。为了实现这些目标，发展中国家的能源需求将有所增长。因此，在现阶段对发展中国家提出强制性减排要求是不合适的。同时，我们发展中国家也应该在力所能及的范围内采

16、取措施，为促进全球可持续发展做出积极贡献 。 TONE TONE 国际社会要加强合作，使更多国家在发展经济的同时保护生态环境。要实现这一目标，国际社会应该着眼未来，建立新的利益观和合作模式，积极开展务实合作。要加强研发和推广节能技术、环保技术、可再生能源技术等，并使广大发展中国家买得起、用得上这些技术。 TONE TONE 2008年 10月口译二级实务真题试卷答案与解析 一、 PART 1 English-Chinese Translation (50 points, 30 minutes) Interpret the following passages from English into

Now lets begin. 1 【正确答案】 女士们，先生们： 我非常高兴能作为联合国第二次老龄问题世界大会的亲善 大使在这里发言，这对于我来说是一种荣誉，为我提供了一个绝佳的机会来帮助人们提高对老龄问题的认识。我要感谢联合国秘书长，以及联合国各部门的领导者所做的出色工作，感谢筹备委员会主席

18、、副主席付出的努力，还要感谢为此次会议做出贡献的所有人。 此次会议在西班牙举行，我们感到很荣幸。我们之所以对这个问题感兴趣，是因为认识到了人口的老龄化问题是我们必须准备应对的挑战，认识到了我们必须要发挥老年人的潜力。因此，作为主办国，西班牙希望从政策上考虑老年人，并在全社会掀起对这一问题的大讨论。 我们正经历着人口 结构发生重大变化的时期，老年人的数量比以往要多。随着社会的进步，人们的寿命更长，生活条件也更优越，这是人类最伟大的功绩。老年人是一支普遍性的力量，具有改变未来的潜力。这种普遍性的改变必将影响到个人、家庭、社会，以及社会的每一个领域。 因此，我们必须要为这一新的挑战做好准备，改变对人

19、口结构变化的态度，这种变化正是源自于世界上老龄人口的增加。我们要创建一个服务于所有年龄结构的社会，就必须从更广阔的角度分析社会，认真分析全社会不同代际之间的关系所扮演的角色。各代际之间在家庭、社会与国家生活方面的和谐对于 社会凝聚力来说是至关重要的。 我们年轻人应该更加认识到，为了建立一个更加公正的社会，我们必须承认老一代人所取得的进步，重视他们的经验和现在的能力。同时，我们必须要把这样的价值传递给后代。代际和谐是一种自然环境，在这个环境下人与人之间经常会发生碰撞、学习和交流。这对所有人都有利，而且有利于建立一个更加融合的社会。 我们要共同树立老龄化的正面形象，它不仅仅是生命的延续，而且要确保

20、老年人健康、独立、积极、完全融人到社会之中。老龄应被视作生命过程中的一个阶段，在这个阶段无论男女仍然可以发展技能， 仍然是社会中的活跃分子，仍然作为完全的公民参与社会活动，得到全社会的认可。 我希望此次会议上所形成的所有议案可以帮助我们应对人口老龄化带来的种种挑战，希望这些议案被尽可能多的国家转化成实际行动，使得老年人可以尽快从中获益。 谢谢。 二、 PART 2 Chinese-English Translation (50 points, 30 minutes) Interpret the following passages from Chinese into English.
