2、University Ladies and Gentlemen, Good evening. I am honored to be invited to your seminar tonight. For me, for my colleagues and for many other Chinese, Princeton has long been a familiar name. With a history longer than the country, it has produced many outstanding people, Woodrow Wilson, the 28th
3、US president, Albert Einstein, the great scientist, and T. S. Eliot, the famous poet, to name but a few. As former president Bill Clinton said in 1996 at the celebrations for the 250th anniversary of Princeton, “At every pivotal moment in American history, Princeton, its leadership, faculty and its
4、students have played a crucial role.”I am more pleased to learn that all of you have a keen interest in China. Though our two countries are geographically far apart, we have a great deal in common in the everyday life. While many Chinese enjoy Hollywood movies and McDonalds fast food, many Americans
5、 find that their clothes and daily necessities are made in China. I hope that todays seminar will help you gain a better understanding of China and its foreign policy, thus deepening further our friendship and cooperation. 1.5 新工厂落成典礼上的讲话各位尊敬的来宾，女士们，先生们：下午好！欢迎大家前来参加我们公司在中国的首家新厂房的落成典礼！感谢各位拨冗光临，与我们共同庆
6、祝这一盛大的活动！我谨代表公司对今天来参加典礼的各位供应商、客户嘉宾、各位员工和业务伙伴说声“谢谢！”公司管理层深深为我们的新工厂感到骄傲，我们能干的员工感到骄傲，他们发展了工厂的业务，使之达到国际水平。新厂房标志着公司对中国业务的重视和承诺。各位供应商，我们希望与你们携手共进，使我们的业务更上一层楼。各位经销商，我们将继续向你们提供尖端的高质量产品，以协助你们做好客户支持，改善中国和东南亚许许多多人士的生活。各位邻居和朋友，我们将成为良好的企业公民，与各位同行一起维护在中国开展业务的规范性。最后，我们承诺给员工们提供一个安全、舒适的工作环境。再次感谢各位与我们共同庆祝今天的典礼！Lesson
7、 22.3 大提琴家马友友今天将与我们见面的是我们这个时代最杰出的大提琴家马友友先生。作为大提琴演奏家，马友友的职业生涯已经跨越 20 多年，期间他发行了 50 多张专辑。他的音乐获得过许多奖项，口译教程汉英翻译参考译文2其中包括令人叹服的 14 项格莱美大奖。他也曾在许多重要的场合演奏，如格莱美的颁奖仪式和奥运会的开闭幕式。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，马友友年仅 5 岁。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，此时他已随家人移居到美国。此后马友友进入茱莉亚音乐学院学习提琴演奏，从那儿他又转入哈佛
8、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旅，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，大提琴是他的声带的延伸。他演奏时最重要的一点是自始至终全情投入，努力将音乐的内容传递给现场的观众。2.4 CNN interview with Jet Li 祝贺英雄取得了成功。请问您在英雄中扮演的角色是否与你通常演的角色很相似呢？ Its a very special part and a very special movie. I think its one of the most i
9、mportant action films in my life. 为什么你会这样说呢？你演过近 30 部电影，而英雄与其他影片有何不同呢？ Usually action films have a formula: A child whose parents have been murdered by bad guys tries hard to learn martial arts and he grows up into an outstanding Kongfu master. He takes revenge and kills the bad buys. But “Hero” has
10、 a much broader them. 就比如象卧虎藏龙？ No, its totally different. I think Ang Lee is a very very talented director. He uses martial arts to talk about love, you know. But Zhang Yimou tries to tell about Chinese culture, Chinese thinking and their inspirations about the world. 含义的确很深。 我们知道你的处女作是 1979 年拍摄的少林
11、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，你使如何从一位武术冠军成为一名好莱坞的动作明星的？ 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. I have been thinking about doing something different, like using martia
12、l arts to talk about peace and to achieve peace. 这听起来似乎是矛盾的，对吗？你是一位打斗者，却要谈“和平”？ 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 thoug
13、hts. 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. Lesson 33.3 Steve Forbes on Forbes 我祖父二十世纪初来到美国，他离开苏格兰时身上没有什么钱。连他在内有兄弟姐妹 10 人，不过他自小受到很好的教育。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
14、家，那些给商业社会带来变革的人。我祖父常说，做生意不是为了堆积百万财富，而是为了带来幸福快乐。如今我们讲到公司和经营，文章中会用到许多数字，但是焦点一直放在人上面。*对公司而言，最重要的是人，而不是资产负债表。以前我祖父是这样看的，我们现在也这样看。口译教程汉英翻译参考译文3* 当前世界信息泛滥，足以将人淹么其中，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可以不必理会。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 craft

These figures speak loudly and clearly of our success. Our leading products are various architectural models,
17、including exotic European cathedrals, the Empire State Building, the White House, and the Pentagon in the U.S., along with cartoon animal toys and Christmas gifts with a variety of designs. Our designs have become trend setters in the industry. Today, our products are sold worldwide in more than twe
18、nty countries including Japan, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, America, the UK, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Sweden, and Germany. They are well received by both local importers and customers. For fifteen years, our output value has maintained an annual growth rate of 30%. 35 财富 500 强45
19、 年来， 财富杂志一直给美国的大公司排名，这就是一年一度的“财富 500 强” ，有时也将前面的 100 名成为“财富 100 强” 。上榜的公司基本上都是头年收入名列前茅的美国本土公司。财富杂志根据上市公司的公开数据来计算收入，未上市的公司没有列入，因为它们的股票没有公开发行。国外公司在美国的分公司也不参与排名。“财富 500 强”公司是美国规模最大、利润最多、实力最强的公司。论收入，即使 500 强排名最后的公司也是才大气粗，如去年排名最末的公司收入也超过 30 亿美圆。除了介绍美国公司的“财富 500 强”之外， 财富杂志还推出了“全球 500 强” ，给各国的上市公司排名。当然，由于美
20、国经济在全球经济中的主导地位，许多“财富 500 强”的美国公司也高居“全球 500 强”排行榜。财富杂志也推出其他排名，如“100 家受雇条件最佳公司” 、 “100 家增长最快的公司”等。比较各种排名看看哪些公司重复上榜，是很有意思的事情。比如，在“100 家受雇条件最佳公司”榜上排名第一的公司可能根本不在“财富 500 强”之列，而排在“财富 500 强”和“全球 500 强”前列的公司，却上不了“最受人尊敬的公司”排行榜。也许甲壳虫乐队说得对爱是不能用金钱买来的。Lesson 44.3 西敏斯特大学介绍非常感谢你们的盛情款待，我们很高兴来到这里与你们相聚。很遗憾校长先生今天无法前来，我
21、谨代表他介绍一下我们的学校。西敏斯特大学成立于 1838 年，是英国第一所工科大学，所以我们学校有着悠久的历史。我们的主校区位于英国首都伦敦市的中心地带。目前我们的学生来自 132 个不同国家，人数超过 22，700。西敏斯特大学是全英最受国际学生欢迎的 15 所大学之一。我们有教师 700 多人，还有来自各国的客座讲师 1，000 余人。学校的这种国际环境为学生日后将要面临的职业生涯做好了良好的准备，我们的宗旨是提供国内国际环境下高品质的教育和科研。口译教程汉英翻译参考译文4我们是一所现代大学，在诸多研究领域占据领先地位，其中包括传播、文化与媒体研究、法律、亚洲研究、语言学、艺术设计（含音乐
22、） 、电子工程、政治与国际关系等，我们的主要学科均获得高度的专业认可。我们真诚地希望与贵校建立交流合作项目。4.4 Preserve core values of the Lunar New YearTo people of Chinese descent around the world, the Lunar New Year (also called Spring Festival) is undoubtedly the most important festival of the year. *Dating back 3,000 years, it celebrates the pass
23、ing of a peaceful year and welcomes the new one. The reunion dinner, eaten on New Years Eve, is de rigueur, 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 importa
24、nce 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 reun
25、ion dinner. Everyone will follow this custom. The female members are usually 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 friends
26、hip. 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 it in posh restaurants, despite the exorbitant costs. The festival door-to-door visits have given way to New Year greetings vi
27、a telephone or text messages. Some families go away for a trip or even go to such extreme as to 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 where core values a
28、re embodied, without which the holiday would lose much of its significance. Some pessimists contend that, as the popularity of western culture grows, Chinese traditional festivals will gradually lose their original meaning and degenerate into commercial festivals like Christmas. The Spring Festival
29、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
30、that there are large numbers of Chinese students studying in Britain. As we know, it is extremely difficult to get a scholarship at 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 u
31、niversities in enrolling Chinese 口译教程汉英翻译参考译文5students. 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由政府出，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。但是我们现在已经在扩
32、大奖学金范围。事实上，过去几年，中国学生来英国留学人数大大增加了，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的大使，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, bu
33、t 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，
34、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，这也是时有的事情。要把想做的事情办成，钱总是不够的。不过我也可以向你保证，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 553 温家宝总理在世界旅游组织第 15 届全体大会上的致词Mr. Francesco Frangialli, Secretary-General of the World Tourism Organization, Ms. Louise Frechette, Deputy Secretary-General o
35、f the United Nations, All Delegates, Ladies and Gentlemen, At this October time when Beijing is offering us its charming autumn scenery in the freshest air and clearest weather, the 15th General Assembly Session of the World Tourism Organization is officially opened here. On behalf of the Chinese go
36、vernment, 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 with the times. Since the m
37、id of the 20th century, modern tourism has been booming at a fast pace across the world. The number of tourists has been increasing, the scale of tourism industry has kept expanding, and the position of tourism in the economy has been rising. Increasingly, tourism serves as a channel for cultural ex
38、changes, friendship development and varied communication. It exerts more and more extensive influence on human life and social progress. As a country with an ancient civilization and a long history, China is also a big oriental country full of modern vitality, blessed with a rich supply of unique an
39、d varied tourism attractions and resources. Besides the picturesque natural scenery, profound history and extensive culture, China embodies the different folk customs of 56 nationalities/ethnic groups. Currently, 29 properties have been inscribed onto World Cultural and Natural Heritage List. With t
40、he reform and 口译教程汉英翻译参考译文6opening-up programs, Chinas modern construction is surging ahead, and urban and rural areas are all experiencing daily changes. The ancient glory and modern boom combine most impressively to create favorable conditions for domestic and international tourism in China. The f
41、ist 20 years of the 21st century is a strategic period for China to accomplish the all-round construction of a well-off society and to speed up its socialist modernization. It also provides a favorable time for its further development of tourism industry. We shall promote tourism as an important ind
42、ustry in Chinas national economy, properly protect and utilize our tourism resources and try to achieve sustainable development. The Chinese government welcomes all international friends to visit China. We shall do our best to protect their health and safety. Meanwhile, we will encourage more Chines
43、e people to go abroad for visits. We are ready to develop extensive cooperation with other countries and contribute to global tourism growth. For many years, the World Tourism Organization has made active and effective efforts to gain tourism prosperity and development around the world. It has becom
44、e a specialized agency of the UN. Here we would like to offer our sincere congratulations. We believe this WTO General Assembly session will give a major push to tourism in the world for greater prosperity and new development. Finally, I wish the 15th General Assembly Session of the Worlds Tourism O
45、rganization every success. Thank you!5.4 世界旅游组织简介世界旅游组织是唯一接纳旅游经营者的政府间组织，它受联合国委托，在各国旅游业的宣传和发展工作中发挥核心作用。世界旅游组织成立于 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经济发展、国际了解、和平繁荣和对人权与人的基本自由的普遍尊重，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成员。联系成员指的是哪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方可成

My first question is: how many years have you been in China? 宾：三年多了。我是 2002 年 5 月底来的。主：3 years. I
47、 bet you have witnessed a lot of changes in China. Could you tell us your deepest impression of urban development in China?宾：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在快速地发展。我想在东部沿海城市更是如此。到处矗立着崭新的高楼大厦，马路变得更加宽敞。口译教程汉英翻译参考译文7主：What do you think of all these tall buildings and t
48、he widened roads? Do you think that these are signs of modernization? Are all these changes good? 宾：这个问题提得好，但是我觉得这是个相当复杂的问题。主：Why is it complicated?宾：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待的 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
49、expectations and what the Chinese would like to see. 宾：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的时候，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于法国的教堂，更重要的是，中国城市的老房子更有别于英国城市里的老房子。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 shou
