2、1 下面你将听到的是一段介绍美国著名导演斯皮尔伯格的讲话。 Steven Spielbergs first films were made at a time when directors were the most important people in Hollywood, and his more recent ones at a time when marketing controls the industry. He has remained the most powerful filmmaker in the world during both periods, which say
3、s something for his talent and his flexibility. Spielbergs most important contribution to modern movies is his acute insight to find and attract a large audience. He ingeniously revised old-style B-movie stories with A-level craftsmanship and enhanced them with the latest developments in special eff
4、ects. Considering such movies as the “Indiana Jones“ series and “Jurassic Park“. The story lines were the mediocre stuff, but the filmmaking was cutting edge and delivered what films have always desired: they showed us something amazing that we hadnt seen before. The master image created in movies e
5、xpresses something fundamental about the way the filmmakers see things. Spielberg once said that his master image was a simultaneous combination of brightness and mystery. This appears in many of his films. In Spielberg, the light source conceals mystery, whereas for many other directors it is darkn
6、ess that conceals mystery. The difference is that for Spielberg, mystery offers promise instead of threat. One day he talked about a previous experience. “My dad took me out to see a meteor shower when I was a little kid,“ he said, “and it was scary for me because he woke me up in the middle of the
7、night. My heart was beating; I didnt know what he wanted to do. He wouldnt tell me, and he put me in the car and we went off, and I saw all these people lying on blankets, looking up at the sky. And my dad spread out a blanket. We lay down and looked at the sky, and I saw for the first time all thes
8、e meteors. “ “What scared me was being awakened in the middle of the night and taken somewhere without being told where. But what didnt scare me, but was very soothing, was watching this meteor shower. And I think from that moment on, I never looked at the sky and thought it was a bad place. “ Spiel
9、berg has always maintained superb quality control and when his films work, they work on every level that a film can reach. When his films are shown, they will conquer the most sophisticated filmgoers in the world and invite them to tears and cheers. 2 It is a pleasure to be here today to commemorate
10、 the first Earth Day with you by looking through this “Window on the American Environment“. While I have not yet viewed the television series, from the accompanying book I can see that it is a very ambitious effort. The producers have interviewed a large number of environmental leaders in the United
11、 States, from early founders back in the 1970s through those involved in the contemporary movement. / I am sure you will hear many different opinions, because the diversity of the American environmental movement is part of its strength. The ability of individuals and non-governmental organizations t
12、o express their opinions and make their voices heard in the press and in the electoral process is the root of the movement and why it flourishes today. I vividly remember going outdoors with my elementary school class on Earth Day 1970 to examine our environment by looking at what grew in the pond b
13、ehind our school. The motto of that first Earth Day was “think globally, act locally“, and our young teacher wanted us to better understand what was right around us. / Nowadays teachers have access to all sorts of wonderful educational materials to help students study the environment and learn about
14、 concepts like biodiversity, climate change and protection of the ozone layer that were still foreign to us in 1970. But we knew then about toxic chemicals, deforestation, water pollutionthe subject of our pond studyand land use issues, and we were learning to understand how much of an impact these
15、could make on our futures. / Earth Day 1970 was a novel idea proposed by individualsnot a governmentthat grew on its own, so that in that very first year, over 20 million Americans participated. We said, “think globally“, but Americans were not yet thinking as much beyond their borders as we do toda
16、y. Equally it would have been unimaginable in 1970 that China would air a 22-part television series on the United States. It would be another two years before the images of President Nixons famous trip to China would be broadcast on our television screens in the United States and we started to have
17、the opportunity to learn about each other. / Today the United States and China have a great deal to celebrate together for Earth Day. We are working together in areas from water conservation to the protection of endangered species to the development of new, cleaner sources of energy. We have an acti
18、ve program to work with Beijing to support its goal of a Green Olympics in 2008. Together we are researching climate change and exploring the possibilities for using hydrogen and fusion as energy sources. The United States government, through agencies like the Environmental Protection Agency, the De
19、partment of Energy, the Fish and Wildlife Service, the National Parks Service and dozens more has an active program of cooperation with its Chinese counterparts. / 二、 PART 2 Chinese-English Translation (50 points, 30 minutes) Interpret the following passages from Chinese into English. Start interpre
20、ting at the signal and stop it at the signal. You may take notes while you are listening. You will hear the passages only ONCE. Now lets begin. 3 下面你将听到的是一段有关儿童发展的讲话。 儿童的生存、保护和发展是提高人口素质的基础，直接关系到一个国家和民族的前途与命运。中华民族素有 “携幼 ”、 “爱幼 ”的传统美德，中国古语 “幼吾幼以及人之幼 ”流传至今。 中国政府一向以认真和负责的态度，高度关心和重视儿童的生存、保护和发展，把 “提高全民族素质
21、，从儿童抓起 ”作为社会主义现代化建设的根本大计，在全社会倡导树立 “爱护儿童、教育儿童、为儿童做表率、为儿童办实事 ”的公民意识，并努力 为儿童事业的发展创造良好的社会条件。 中国实行改革开放政策以来，儿童工作进一步走上社会化、科学化、法制化的轨道，儿童工作成为国家建设和全社会义务的重要组成部分。 为了切实保护儿童权益，中国的立法、司法、政府各有关部门以及社会团体都建立了相应的机制，以监督、实施和促进保护儿童事业的健康发展。作为中国最高国家权力机关的全国人民代表大会，其内务司法委员会负责妇女儿童权益保障的立法和执法监督检查，委员会内设立了妇女、儿童专门小组，配有专职人员。 中国政府一直把儿童
22、教育置于整个教育事业发展的优 先地位。在政府和全社会的共同努力下，近年来，中国的儿童教育事业有了很大发展，许多指标优先于其他发展中国家，有的接近发达国家水平。 中国动员社会采取多种方式关心和帮助残疾儿童的成长，大力弘扬残疾儿童自强不息的精神，倡导团结、友爱、互助的社会风尚。大众传媒积极反映残疾儿童的生活，报道残疾人事业发展情况。广播、电视普遍开办残疾儿童专题节目，并配制手语、字幕 .逐步实行方便残疾人的城市道路和建筑物设计规范，采取无障碍设施等措施，为残疾儿童的生存和发展创造良好的社会环境。 为促进儿童保护领域的国际合作， 中国政府和社会力量在扎实、有效地做好国内儿童生存、保护和发展工作的同时
23、，还积极参与有关儿童生存、保护和发展的全球性和区域性国际合作与交流活动。多年来，中国与联合国儿童基金会、联合国教科文组织和世界卫生组织在有关儿童保护领域进行了卓有成效的合作，得到了有关国际组织和权威人士的好评。 4 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
24、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。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
25、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 口译二级实务模拟试卷 20答案与解析 一、 PART 1 English-Chinese Translation

28、神秘。这其中的不同在于对斯皮尔伯格来说，神秘给人希望而不是威胁。有一天他提到了从前的一次经历。 “我还是小孩子的时候，爸爸 次带我出去看流星雨。 ”他说， “我很怕，因为他半夜里把我叫醒，我的心跳的很厉害，不知道他要干什么。他没告诉我，把我放在车上，就开走了，然后我看见有人躺在毯子上，抬头看着天。爸爸也把毯子铺开，我们躺下，看着天，我第一次看到了流星。 ” “让我 害怕的是半夜里被叫醒，带出去，但不知道去哪里。但看流星雨并没有让我害怕，相反，我觉得非常舒服。我想从那时起，我再也不会看着天空而觉着它是个坏地方了。 ” 斯皮尔伯格总是保持着电影的卓越品质。他的电影一旦开拍，就总是在各个方面都达到电

31、察学校后面池塘里的生物来了解我们的环境。那是第一个地球日 ，口号是“心系全球，从我做起 ”。我们年轻的老师希望我们更好地了解周围的环境。 / 现在的老师们有各种各样精彩的教材来帮助学生们了解环境，学习诸如生物多样性、气候变化和臭氧层保护等概念。而在七十年代，这些概念对我们来说仍是陌生的。但是我们听说过有毒化学物质、荒漠化以及我们那次池塘研究的题目 水污染，还有土地使用问题。我们当时通过学习去了解这些对我们的未来会产生多大的影响。 / 1970年地球日的创意是由个人，而不是政府提出的，因此它依靠其自身的力量发展壮大。在第一年就有 2千万美国人参与到活动 中来。我们说 “心系全球 ”，但那时美国人
32、还没有像现在这样真正的想到美国本土以外的情况。同样，在 1970年的中国，播出一部 22集有关美国的电视系列片也是不可想象的。又过了两年之后，美国总统尼克松访华的画面才在美国的电视里播出，我们才开始有机会相互了解。/ 今天，美国和中国在地球日这一天有许多共同的庆祝活动。我们两国在水土保持，濒危物种保护，新清洁能源开发等很多领域进行协作。我们现在正与北京进行积极的合作以支持其 2008年绿色奥运的目标。我们还在进行气候变化的研究，并探索将氢能及核聚变作为能源加以利用的 可能性。美国政府，通过美国环保局，能源部。鱼和野生动物署，国家公园管理局以及其他几十个这样的机构，正与中方的合作伙伴开展有效的合
