3、osition? 王： 实际上并不是上海在申办，而是中国政府在申办。国际社会普遍认为世博会是经济、文化和科学领域内的奥林匹克。世博会向各地人民提供一个相识、共享和交朋友的机会，在这里各种新思想和新概念得到传播、发展和应用，从而提高人民的生活水平。 Reporter： Then， do you think conditions are now ripe for China to apply? 王： 中国一直是在积极参与在世界各地举办的世博会的活动。如今中国经济快速发展，我们申办不光是为了推动世博会的发展，也是为了促进中国人民和全世界人民的相互了解，增强合作和交流。 Reporter： Ive j

8、cience and information through better education. Yet science education does not take place only in universities and institutions of higher education.

13、两个伟大的国家，它们之间的关系不仅对本国十分重要，而且对世界的和平和发展也十分重要。 1972年尼克松总统第一次访问中国时说，对美国人民来说，远隔太平洋的中国是一个遥远而神秘的国度，将近 30年后的今天，这种神秘感显然是减少了，但两国之间的了解比应该达到的程度仍相差很远。 人民之间的了解和友谊是两国关系的基石， “2000年中国文化美国行 ”就是为铺筑这样的基石而努力。 口 译三级实务模拟试卷 6答案与解析 一、 PART 1 Dialogue (20 points, 10 minutes) Listen to the following dialogue and interpret it a

20、 to developand introduce modem ideas as well as to preserve the cultural character of the city 【试题解析】 关于交替传译的技巧，前面已经谈过。 本文主要是关于上海申办世博会的对话。其中考查译者某些专 门用语、具有中国特色的语汇、专有名词等的掌握情况，以考查译者的基本素质。在此基础上，译者还要在相当短的时间内对长难旬理解并准确完整地翻译；对某些短语和单词确切理解其含义并能理解其在上下文语境中的确切用法，使全文的翻译不仅准确完整，而且符合目标语的语言习惯。 二、 PART 2 English-Chine

22、和信息为人类发展开辟了新的前景。科学和信息可以促进科学知识的交流，扩大教育和培训的规模，促进创 新和不同文化之间的对话。 因此，本组织有必要通过改善教育状况来扩大科学和信息的覆盖范围。 然而，科学教育不应该仅仅局限在高等院校中。我们必须从儿童抓起，才能使越来越多的学生愿意从事科学工作。 工业化国家 (发达国家 )和发展中国家之间科学与信息分配不均衡的问题也值得关注。联合国的一份报告指出，全球上网人数的 88集中在发达国家，虽然这些国家的人口只占世界人口总数的 15。尽管南亚地区的人口占世界总人口的五分之一，但其中只有不到 1的人使用英特网。 非洲的情况更为糟糕，整个非洲大陆 使用英特网的人数只
23、有 100万，而在英国一个国家，上网的人数就多达 1050万。换言之，如果发展中国家要建设知识社会，就必须加强自身的能力建设。 我希望在即将召开的会议上，你们能讨论上述这些重要问题。我特别希望了解的是，你们认为科学和信息对于建设知识社会能起什么作用，以及本次会议在这方面能发挥什么作用。 谢谢大家。 【试题解析】 本文是一段有关科学、信息与社会发展的讲话。文章讲述了科学和信息可以促进社会发展；有必要通过改善教育状况来扩大科学和信息的覆盖面，科学教育应从儿童抓起。文章 比较了发达国家和发展中国家科学信息分配不均衡的问题。文章使用了大量的数字统计和举例说明，以使观点更具有说服力。 本文要求应试者掌握

26、ot only highly important to the two countries, but also to peace and development the world over. During his first visit to China in 1972, President Nixon said that to the American people China was a remote and mysterious country on the other side of the Pacific Ocean. Nearly 30 years later, this sen
27、se of mystery has reduced remarkably, but the level of mutual understanding between the two countries is still very far from where it should have been. Understanding and friendship of the two peoples are the foundation stone of bilateral relationship. China Cultural Exchange 2000 is designed precisely to lay such a foundation stone. 【试题解析】 本文有关 “2000年中国文化美国行 ”，讲述了中美关系的重要性，并提到从美国总统第一次访华至今，中美之间的了解还没达到应该的程度，文化行活动的目的是促进中美双方的了解。 本文考查应试者对中英关系方面基本知识的掌握情况，包括某些专门用语、中国外交领域的特色表达、专有名词等的掌握情况，以确定其口译的基本素质；在此基础上，应试者还要在相当短的时间内理解长难句并准确完整地翻译；理解某些短语和单词确切含 义并能理解其在上下文语境中的确切用法，使译文准确完整，而且符合目标语的语言习惯。
