Passage 1
As for us Americans, you may think that we give too much importance to individualism and personal gains, so much so that it might sacrifice collective benefits, and even bring harm to the harmony of the society.//
Yes, but you don’t have to be worried. American work ethic is more individual-oriented. We often value the results and accomplishments of work more than its process.//
If I am not mistaken, the traditional Chinese work ethic is based on Confucianism, which stresses the benefit of communal harmony rather than individual freedom.//
It’s really very hard to say which is better because if the cultural differences. With the economic globalization, cultural exchanges have become more and more extensive and Americans and Chinese will know and understand each other better.
至于我们美国人，你们会感到我们太看重个人主义，太看重个人利益，这样可能会牺牲集体的利益，甚至会损害社会的和谐。//
是的，但你们不必担忧。我们美国人的工作理念更强调个人主义。我们一般重视的是结果和成就，而不是过程。// 如果我没理解错的话，中国传统的够工作理念是以儒家学说为基础的，这种思想强调整体和谐高于个体自由。//
由于文化差异的存在，真的很难说哪种理念更好。随着经济全球化，文化交流也随之变得越来越广泛，美国人民和中国人民将会更加互相了解和理解。

女士们，先生们，我在此已经生活了五年，我看到了许多文化差异。这种文化差异是由地狱、种族、历史和环境的差异造成的，也是由社会、经济发展水平的差异造成的。
以下是一些例子。我们美国人强调效率、竞争和独创性，而你们的管理则将严格规划放在首位，鼓励（团员成员之间的）密切合作。
在美国学校，讨论享有至高无上的地位，讨论就是课堂教学的主旋律。具有灵活应变才能的教师被视为优秀、受学生欢迎的教师。

Ladies and Gentlemen, the world today is facing a serious problem of poverty in some areas. We must refocus our attention, and resources, on the places and people that are economically being left behind.//
As we do, we must bear in mind that none are more committed to ending poverty than the poor themselves. Often, all they lack is the guidance and the tools to get rid of poverty.//
Therefore, it requires all citizens to actively participate in policy-making, and government to become more accountable to their citizens in their efforts to achieve their goals.//
Today, we join hands with the poor in a collective effort. This is a close and extensive cooperation which brings together civil society, the private sectors, and individuals around the world.
女士们、先生们：当今世界一些地区正面临着严重的贫穷问题。我们必须重新将资源和注意力更加集中地投向那些经济落后的地区和人们。
此外，我们必须牢记，世界上的贫穷人们自己比任何人都想消除贫困。只是他们往往缺乏必要的消除贫困的指导和方式方法。
因此，我们要鼓励公民积极参与政策制定，还需要各国政府采取对公民更加负责任的态度，以实现他们的奋斗目标。 今天，我们和贫困人们共同携手，这是一种紧密而又广泛的合作。它将使全世界的公民社会，私营企业以及个人团结在一起。

Passage 1
The whole world has focused its attention on China, an oriental country that still appears mysterious to many people in the west. China is providing the greatest fascination in the 21st century.//
Since the Second World War, countries like Britain and Germany have had major achievements and minor problems, while Southeast Asia has had major problems and minor achievements.// China, though, is experiencing both major achievements and major problems. I do believe the tough line on population control has been a great contribution to humanity on an international level.//
I’m positive that China will definitely become an economic superpower in the not too distant future and will play an irreplaceable role in promoting economic prosperity in the world.//
全世界的注意力都集中在中国这个对许多西方人士来说依旧十分神秘的国家。中国是21世纪最具有吸引力的国家。//
自从第二次世界大战以来，英国和德国这样的国家取得了巨大成就，遇到了小问题。东南亚遇到了大问题，取得了小成就。//
而中国既取得了大成就，也面临大问题。我确实相信，中国在人口控制方面采取的强硬路线（从全球来说我）为人类做出了巨大贡献。// 我相信，中国一定会在不远的将来成为经济超级大国，在促进世界的经济繁荣方面发挥不可替代的作用。

British companies and research institutions can make a strong contribution to China’s success in hi-tech sectors. We’re specially interested in such field as Information and Communications Technology, biotechnology and many more,//
China has more world-class companies and they go out into the international markets. Many of them are attracted to Britain. We now have over 300 Chinese companies operating profitably and successfully in Britain.

合作与交流应当是双向的。我认为，我们应当处理好竞争与合作的关系。合作比竞争更为有利。//
然而，我们注意到中国对海外的报道与西方媒体对中国的报道，两者之间存在明显的失衡。 在中国，人们能够观看有关国外的各种报道，而在西方国家，人们很少看到正面报道关于中国经济发展和社会进步方面的节目。//
我认为产生这一现象有多种原因。但是我相信，通过加强合作与交流，这种不平衡的状况终将得到改变。//
Cooperation and communication should be mutual. I think we should do well with the relationship between competition and cooperation. Actually, cooperation is more beneficial to us than competition.//
However, (as we have noticed/ as we were aware,) there is a marked imbalance between China’s report on foreign countries and the reports on China by western media.//
In China, people can watch different programs about foreign countries. But you can find very few positive programs about China’s economic development and social progress in western countries.// I think that there are many reasons for this phenomenon. But I believe that enhanced cooperation and exchanges can eventually change this unbalanced situation.
Passage 2
经济全球化的快速发展，中美经贸关系的不断深化，形成了“你中有我、我中有你、互利共赢”的经贸关系。//
我们希望美国政府能够顺利顺应历史发展趋势，采取正确的经贸政策措施，确保两国人民获得更多实实在在的利益。//
中美两国经贸关系规模之大，涉及范围之广，牵涉各方面利益之深，已经使其成为当今世界最为复杂的经济关系。//
当前中美经贸关系中出现的产品质量和食品安全问题，就是一个突出的事例。我们双方就这一问题进行了深入、坦率的讨论。
Thanks to accelerated economic globalization, the growing China-US business relations have exhibited the features of interdependence, mutual benefit and win-win progress.//
We hope that the US administration will follow the trend of historical development, and pursue the right trade policy so as to enable our two people to gain more concrete benefits.//
China-US business relationship is the most complex one in today’s world owing to its huge scale, broad scope and the extensive interests of various parties involved.//
A case in point in China-US business relationship is the issue of product quality and food safety. China and the United States have had in-depth and frank discussions on this issue.

Mr. Mayor, let me thank you for the opportunity to share some thoughts about how to ensure Shanghai’s position as a world center of innovation in the near future.//
We have already recognized the importance of innovation to Shanghai’s economic growth and prosperity. You have articulated a strategy that places technological innovation capacity at the top of the agenda.//
Innovation is the lifeblood of a country and business—there is no future without it. We have to think of innovation as more than basic science or new laboratory equipment.//
Innovation is the creation of value through new products or services, technologies and business models. And it requires strong leadership, a long term strategy and people who are committed to innovation.
市长先生，首先感谢您给我这个机会来谈一下我对如何确保上海在不远的未来成为世界级创新中心的看法。
我们已经意识到创新对于上海经济发展和繁荣的重要意义。您已阐明了（上海的）发展战略，那就是将技术创新能力（的提升）置于一切工作之首。
创新是国家的生命线，也是企业的生命线。没有创新就没有未来。创新不仅仅是基础科学研究的投入，也不仅仅是新实验设备的购置。
创新是通过新产品、新服务、新技术和新商业模式的开发而创造的价值。创新需要坚强有力的领导、长期的战略和致力创新的人才。

I’m a research psychologist and I’ve been doing researches on the problems of marriage and family. Today I feel greatly honored to be invited to give a talk on this subject. Being a good parent is harder now than it has ever been before.//
In pressurized modern lives, it is hard to be a good worker and a good parent at the same time. We haven’t left space for the care and nurturing that parents expect to provide for their children.//
Traditional family imposes too many roles on females. Therefore, today many highly educated and economically privileged women are opting to take career breaks so as to be at home with their children for longer than the 18 weeks.//
I think the whole point of marriage is that it imposes clear obligation, not just the right to pursue your own happiness. Children demand sacrifice and altruism, which means a long-term investment of parental time and money.
我是个心理研究工作者，从事一些婚姻家庭问题的研究。今天我很荣幸受邀谈一谈这个话题。现在做个好父母比以往任何时候都要难。 在压力重重的现在生活中，要做个好雇员就无法同时做称职的家长。父母应给予孩子们悉心照料，我们却无暇顾及。
传统家庭有很多强加给妇女的责任。因此，现在许多受过高等教育以及经济地位优越的妇女都情愿有一段职业间歇，这样和孩子一起在家里的时间就长一些，而不仅是那18周。 我认为，婚姻的关键一点就是它给夫妻双方以种种义务，而不只是赋予他们追求自身幸福的权力。孩子需要家长的自我牺牲和无私奉献，也就是说需要父母长期地投入时间和财力。

Venice is a city built on water and it has about 150 canals. The best time to visit Venice is during the clear spring days of March and April.//
From June to August, the city is hot and crowded with tourists. Autumn is quite pleasant, but winters are cold. Floods are common in November and December.//
It is well-known that Venice faces an uncertain future. The city is sinking into the sea. Unless solutions are found soon for the problem, Venice will no longer exit.

现代工业使得许多传统职业在社会上消失。一个人如果不继续学习，他很快就会被时代所抛弃。//
科学技术的进步还使得人类深刻地认识到人与自然、人与社会的关系，认识到人类自身的发展和责任。//
今天许多人不光是为谋生而学习。因此，终身教育要为人们不断提高自身的素质提供学习机会。
Today, people must pursue lifelong learning to adapt themselves to the transformation of the society. That’s why great importance has been attached to the idea of lifelong education in many countries.
Modern industry has removed many traditional occupations from the society. If one does not continue to learn, he will soon be abandoned by the times.
The advancement of science and technology also enables mankind to fully understand the relation between man and nature, the relation between man and society, and the development and responsibilities of his own.
Today, many people take up learning not only for making a living. Therefore, lifelong education should provide learning opportunities for people to constantly improve themselves.

我坚信随着两国人民之间互访的增多，以及两国之间久经考验的友谊的重新发现，我们两国间的关系将更加繁荣。

中国对外开放是长期的。中国实行对外开放，是十几亿人民得到了实惠，我们的路子走对了。 中国的对外开放是全方面的。我们不仅对发达国家开放，也对发展中国家开放。我们既有经济领域的开放，又有科技、教育、文化等领域的开放。//
中国的对外开放是互利的，所以理所当然要向世界开放，与其他国家经济相互依存。// 我们认为，只有双赢互利的开放才能持久，才能有利于各国人民的根本利益，促进世界和平与繁荣。
China’s opening up policy is a long-term one. Opening up has brought great benefits to more than one billion Chinese people. It is the right path for China’s development.
China’s opening up policy is comprehensive in nature. We are open not only to developed countries, but also to developing countries. We are open not only in the economic field, but also in the scientific, technological, educational, cultural and other fields.
China’s opening up policy is based on mutual benefit, which naturally means we should open ourselves to the world, building inter-dependent economic ties with other countries.

We are convinced that only on the basis of mutual benefit and win-win situation can opening up endure, thus being conductive to the fundamental interests of all the people and promoting world peace and prosperity.

In spite of the differences in colors, languages, races, we share the charm and joy of the Games, and together we seek for the idea of Mankind for peace.

By going online, companies can communicate instantly and directly with prospective customers.

loyalty, companies provide many opportunities for intension.//
Since the main purpose of advertising is to sell goods, the advertise is not always looking out for the best interests of the consumer. Some advertising is cheating the public, such as actors dressed as doctors promoting health products.//
It costs money to advertise. Consumers pay for television programs every time they buy a product they see advertised. The cost of advertising a product is added to its cost to consumers.
通过电脑网络，企业可以迅速而直接地与潜在的顾客进行沟通。互联网促销宣传方式包括广告、赞助以及各种促销活动，如竞赛、优惠券、回馈等。 成功运作的网站在传递广告信息时，巧妙地把促销宣传与其他内容融为一体。为了提高网站访问率、培养顾客对产品的信赖，各企业不断提供与顾客互动机会。 既然广告的主要目的是促销商品，广告商就不总是寻求消费者的最大利益。有些广告是在欺骗公众，如：演员装扮成医生来促销保健品。 做广告是要花钱的。当消费者每次在买他们在广告上所看的商品的时候也就支付了电视节目的费用。产品的广告费都加载了消费者要付的成本上。
Passage 2
Hello Beijing, Hello China. Greetings from Switzerland. And a special hello to all the children and young people who may be watching this show because this day is for you! By now you’ve met your new little friends—the Five Friendlies.//
The Five Friendlies are an incredible little family, chosen carefully by Beijing 2008 Olympic Games to represent all of China, and to carry a message of friendship to the children of the world.//
If I’ve got my Chinese mythology right, Beibei will bring you prosperity. Jingjing will bring you happiness. Huanhuan will fill you with passion. Yingying will give you good health. And Nini will bring you good luck. How’s that a great blessing.//
Beijing is lucky to have so many beautiful animals to represent the Olympic spirit. I love them all. They’re carrying traditional Chinese blessings all over the world. I believe they will become the most popular mascots in Olympic history.
你好北京，你好中国。我在瑞士向大家问好，特别是要向观看今天这次活动的所有孩子和年轻朋友们致以问候，今天是你们的节日！你们结识了新的小伙伴——福娃。 这五个福娃组成了一个棒极了的小家庭，他们是经过北京奥组委悉心挑选的，代表了整个中国，把友谊带给世界各个角落的儿童。
如果我对中国神话的理解正确的话，那么贝贝将带给你繁荣，晶晶将送给你欢乐，欢欢让你心中充满热情，迎迎给你健康，而妮妮将带给你好运。真是一个伟大的祝福。
北京市幸运的，她拥有那么多美丽的动物来呈现奥林匹克精神。我喜欢每一个福娃。它们将中国传统祝福带往世界。我相信它们将成为奥运史上最受欢迎的吉祥物。

20世纪中叶以来，现在旅游在世界范围内迅速兴起，旅游人数不断增加，旅游业规模持续扩大，旅游经济地位显著提升。//
旅游活动愈发成为各国人民交流文化、增进友谊、扩大交往的重要渠道，对人类生活和社会进步产生越来越广泛的影响。
All delegates, at this October time when Shanghai is offering us its charming autumn scenery, the 13th General Assembly Session of the World Tourism Organization is officially opened here. On behalf of the Chinese government, I would like to extend our sincere welcome to all the guests here.
Tourism represents a kind of popular and pleasant activity that combines sightseeing, recreation, and health care. Tourism has been developing all along with the progress of the times.
Since the middle of the 20th century, modern tourism has been growing at a fast pace around the world. The number of tourists has ever been on the rise, the scale of the tourism industry has been on constant expansion, and the position of tourism in the economy has been obviously raised.
Tourism gradually serves as an important bridge of cultural exchange, friendship and further exchanges and exert more extensive influence on the human life and social progress among various countries.

中美建交28年来，两国经贸合作走过了一条不平凡的道路。中美经贸关系的持续平稳发展符合两国的根本利益。//
中美两国在许多领域都具有广阔的合作前景，发展中美经贸关系，对推动新世纪中美关系全面健康发展具有重要意义。//
在中美经贸合作快速发展的进程中，难免出现新的问题，解决这些问题是中美双方共同的长期任务。//

Over the 28 years since the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States, the economic and trade cooperation between the two countries has gone through an extraordinary path. The continuous and steady development of such relations conforms to the fundamental interests of both countries.
China and the United States enjoy a promising prospect of wider cooperation in many cases. Developing the Sino-U.S. economic and trade relations is of great significance to the promotion of the comprehensive and sound growth of the Sino-U.S. relations in the new century. It is inevitable that new problems will emerge in the process of fast growing economic and trade cooperation and it is a long-term task of both countries to resolve these problems.
The increased dialogues and communications benefit not only the economic development of both countries, but also the continuous and steady growth of the global economy.

口译题 Part A Passage 1
I am very glad to be invited here to make a speech on the topic of “an educator’s responsibility”. As an American high school principal, I worry, particularly, about the effects on our children of our own society.//
In American, there is already compelling evidence that adolescents have been affected negatively by changing social conditions. However, some people believe that the behavior of students should not be interfered unless it is directly related to learning.//
But good teachers should teach values of courtesy, mutual respect, persistence, and responsibility. They should remind students to say “please” and “thank you” and remind them not to interrupt when others are speaking.//
As a principal, I would never consider myself a successful educator unless our students graduated not only as successful learners bur also as ladies and gentlemen.
我很高兴应邀在这里就“教育工作者的责任”发表演讲。作为美国一所中学的校长，我特别担心我们的社会对孩子们所产生的影响。
在美国，已有确凿证据表明，社会环境的改变对青少年造成了消极的影响。然而，有些人认为不应该干涉学生的行为，除非它直接影响到学习。 但是好的老师应该向学生传授谦和的价值观，培养学生相互尊重的习惯、坚忍不拔的毅力和责任心。教师们应该提醒学生说“请”，和“谢谢！”，提醒学生不要打断人家的讲话。 作为一名校长，如果我的学生在毕业是能做到品学兼优，我才会认为自己是一个成功的教育者。
Passage 2
I visited Luoyang 28 years ago. Then I couldn’t have imaged the dynamic and impressive city that Luoyang has turned into today. China is definitely a more open place than at any time since the Tang Dynasty.//
We all need to become China experts now, because China, and especially its future, matters for all of us. The last 28 years have seen tremendous changes in China. The rest of the world has a big stake in China’s success.//
The possibilities that China’s social and economic development offers the world are extraordinary. This should be an opportunity for all of us. To make it so, we must forge a long-term strategic partnership between European and China.//
I don’t think China is likely to become an expansionist military power. China’s membership of the WTO is a good example of how working with China and interesting it more fully into the

international system can work to all of our advantage.
28年前我曾访问过洛阳。未曾想到，今天的洛阳已成为如此生机勃勃，让人印象深刻的城市。的确，自唐朝以来中国比任何时期更加开放。
我们都得成为中国通，因为中国，尤其是中国的未来，对我们都至关重要。过去的28年，中国发生了巨大的变化。全世界都对她的成功充满信心。 中国社会与经济发展给全世界带来非凡的前景。这应该也是我们所有人共同享有的机遇。为了抓住这一机遇，我们必须在欧洲与中国之间建立长期的战略伙伴关系。 我认为中国不会成为军事扩张的国家。中国加入世贸组织就是很好的例子，说明与中国充分合作，使中国更加融入国际社会可以对我们带了什么样的好处。
Part B Passage 1
对于中国人来说，农历新年无疑是全年最重要的喜庆节日。它代表着旧的一年平安过去了，人们准备迎接新的一年。//
人们通常如何庆祝新年？首先，多代同堂的家庭成员，齐聚家中享受一顿丰盛的团圆饭。除夕夜的团圆饭是整个年头里最具意义的一餐。//
团圆饭显示了家庭的重要地位。其次，亲戚朋友之间也会兴高采烈互访。这样的欢庆方式，有助于加强亲情和友情。//
新年价值观，是对家庭和亲属关系的重视，包括对父母和长者的尊敬。没有了这些观念，新年将沦为一个毫无意义的商业化节日。
To the Chinese, the Lunar New Year is undoubtedly the most important festival of the year. It celebrates the passing of a peaceful year and indicates the welcome of a new one.
How do we celebrate the New Year? First, the elaborate multi-generation reunion dinner eaten leisurely and luxuriously at home is the norm. The reunion dinner, eaten on New Year’s Eve, is the most significant meal of the year.
It underscores the supreme importance of the family in Chinese culture. Visiting relatives and close friends is another time-honored custom that is undertaken cheerfully, and reciprocated enthusiastically too, as a thoughtful way of affirming the ties of kinship and friendship.
What would be retained in our New Year’s celebration is the family and kinship ties and attendant values like respect for one’s parents and elders. Without these, the New Year’s celebration will become a soulless commercial happening and devoid of meaning.
