第四篇：期末口試資料

原文：

在過去的幾十年里，除夕吃餃子，放煙花，看一年一度的央視春節(jié)聯(lián)歡晚會（CCTV Spring Festival Gala)已經(jīng)成為許多中國家庭的過年習(xí)俗。春節(jié)聯(lián)歡晚會時長四個多小時。據(jù)央視統(tǒng)計，晚會每年會吸引無數(shù)觀眾。今年觀看春晚的人數(shù)就超過了7億，春晚為世界上觀看人數(shù)最多的電視綜藝節(jié)目（variety show)。對大多數(shù)中國人而言，春節(jié)聯(lián)歡晚會是現(xiàn)代文化的一部分。

Suggested Answer：

Along with eating dumplings and setting off fireworks, watching the annual CCTV spring Festival Gala has become a custom on the lunar New Year’s eve for many Chinese families over the past decades.According the show lasts more than four hours, with more than 700 million viewers , is the most watched TV variety show worldwide.According to the statistics made by CCTV numerous audiences are attracted by the Gala every year.The Spring Festival Gala is a part of modern culture for most Chinese people.原文：

刺繡是一種具有悠久歷史的傳統(tǒng)中國手工工藝。刺繡是用繡針和彩線在織物繡制各種圖案。傳統(tǒng)刺繡既可以單面繡圖，也可以雙面繡圖。熱門，人們將中國的繪畫藝術(shù)應(yīng)用在刺繡中。刺繡的圖案包括花鳥魚蟲，風(fēng)景和人物等。人物刺繡強調(diào)逼真的圖案。作為中國古代的一種工藝品，刺繡極大的促進了中國物質(zhì)文明的發(fā)展。Suggested Answer：

Embroidery is a kind of traditional Chinese handicraft art with a long history.It refers to creating various patterns on fabrics with needles and colors threads.Traditional embroidery products can display patterns either on one side or on bath side.The art of Chinese painting has been applied to embroidery, whose designs include flowers, birds, fish, insects, landscapes and human figures.Embroidery of human figures emphasizes vivid patterns.As one of the ancient handicraft arts of china, embroidery has greatly contributed to the development of Chinese material civilization.原文：

中國出境旅游人數(shù)逐年大幅增加。例如，在旅游熱門目的地英國，過去十年里中國游客人數(shù)增長了8倍。中國旅客在英國的購物花銷比世界上其他任何國家的游客都要多。中國游客尤其喜歡奢侈品。這主要是因為，中國國內(nèi)稅收高，在國內(nèi)買奢侈品要比在國外買貴30%。由于這個原因，很多發(fā)達國家都想盡辦法吸引中國游客去觀光旅游。Suggested Answer：

The number of Chinese tourists traveling abroad is increasing significantly year by year.For example, in the UK, one of the popular destinations, the number of Chinese tourists has gone up 8 times in the past decade.In the UK, the Chinese tourists spend more in shopping then visitors from anywhere else in the world.Chinese tourists are especially fond of luxury goods.This is mainly because luxury goods in china are 30% more expensive than those abroad, as a result of high tax.For this reason, many developed countries are trying their best to attract Chinese tourists for sightseeing and shopping.原文：

人民幣升值意味著相對于其他貨幣而言，人民幣的購買力增強。人民幣升值既有來自中國經(jīng)濟內(nèi)部動力的原因，也有主要來自日本和美國的外部壓力。人民幣升值對中國經(jīng)濟發(fā)展和人民的生活狀況既有利也有弊。人民幣升值有利于刺激進口、穩(wěn)定物價、提高人民收入。但是不利于產(chǎn)品出口，會降低中國對外國投資者的吸引力。Suggested Answer：

Appreciation of the RMB means that the purchasing power of RMB is strengthened compared with that of other currencies.Reasons for the appreciation of the RMB include both the internal power within Chinese economy and the external pressure mainly from Japan and America.The appreciation of the RMB has both benefits and harms to Chinese economic development and people’s living conditions.It is beneficial for stimulating imports, stabilizing prizes and increasing people’s income.But it will do harm to export products and reduce China’s attraction to foreign investment.原文：

人們在喜慶場合燃放焰火以增加節(jié)日氣氛。焰火含有化學(xué)物質(zhì)，點燃后會發(fā)出顏色形狀各異的火花，絢麗奪目。最早關(guān)于焰火的記載出現(xiàn)在公元7世紀(jì)的中國。早在宋朝，中國的普通百姓就可以從市場上買到焰火。焰火被用作慶?；顒拥囊徊糠帧Ｔ诂F(xiàn)代中國，因為焰火很容易引發(fā)火災(zāi)，其使用受到法律的限制，在很多地方人們只能在春節(jié)的時候才能買到。

Suggested Answer：

Fireworks are lit on joyous occasions to add to the festive atmosphere.They contain chemicals and after lighting, they will give out brilliant and eye-catching sparks with diverse colors and shapes.The earliest records about fireworks can date back to the 7th century China.As early as the Song Dynasty, common Chinese people were able to purchase fireworks from the market.Fireworks were used as part of celebrations.In modern China, because fireworks start fires easily, the use of them is legally restricted and in many places, people can only buy them during the spring festival.

2011中高級口譯口試十大話題之高鐵時代

2011年中國經(jīng)濟進入高鐵時代(ushers in a new era of high speed train).高鐵在促進城市發(fā)展，產(chǎn)業(yè)升級,具有顯而易見的優(yōu)勢(High speed train plays a significant role in promoting urban expansion and industrial upgrade).值得一提的是(it’s worth mentioning that)目前，中國鐵路在高速動車組、高速鐵路基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施建造技術(shù)等方面都達到了世界先進水平，已經(jīng)形成集設(shè)計、施工、制造、運營管理于一體的成套先進技術(shù)，其在鐵路研發(fā)、建設(shè)、管理過程中形成的一整套高鐵技術(shù)，(China now boasts world-beating technologies in the design, construction, operation and management of high-speed train.或者China’s high-speed train technology is on par with that of development countries.)

以上海為核心的長三角區(qū)域為例(Take Yangtze River Delta as an example),滬寧高鐵的開通，首先，推動長三角區(qū)域產(chǎn)業(yè)升級和轉(zhuǎn)型。南京將逐漸成為上海的副中心城市（With the advent of high-speed train, Nanjing will become a what experts call “sub-city” of Shanghai），由于高鐵使滬杭之間的距離“縮短”，（greatly shorten distance between major cities in the region增加滬寧之間的人員流動，（promote the free flow of people flow and ideas）將有大量人群轉(zhuǎn)至南京工作，促使南京人流、物流和信息的集中，為南京帶來商貿(mào)commerce、物流logistics、金融finance、傳媒media、酒店restaurant、餐飲catering等行業(yè)發(fā)展。

此外，高鐵沿線城市將迎接產(chǎn)業(yè)轉(zhuǎn)移的機遇，滬寧高鐵沿線地帶交通便利，地價相對上海較低low property cost，而且勞動力更廉價low labor cost，大批企業(yè)為降低成本，把總部和研發(fā)中心留在核心城市——上海，而將生產(chǎn)部門轉(zhuǎn)移至高鐵沿線城市，（companies will move their investment inland, which will in turn promote the economic growth of these regions）這就帶動了沿線城市的經(jīng)濟發(fā)展（invigorate economic growth in areas along the high speed train），促進上海及其他城市的產(chǎn)業(yè)專業(yè)升級轉(zhuǎn)型。上海逐漸形成總部基地集群，而其他企業(yè)將形成服務(wù)業(yè)與制造業(yè)集群（to build a cluster of world-class service industries）。

當(dāng)然也有專家認(rèn)為，國家如此巨額投入，會不會帶來高風(fēng)險、造成債務(wù)危機，進而會拖累經(jīng)濟發(fā)展。（Huge investment in high-speed train will bring huge financial burden to the government, which eventually will hamper China’s economic development）也有人認(rèn)為中國已經(jīng)有了動車組bullet train，高鐵實際是重復(fù)建設(shè)duplicated construction，浪費納稅人的錢waste of tax-payer’s money。此外，高鐵建設(shè)將造成周邊環(huán)境的污染。但是我認(rèn)為隨著時間的推移，高鐵的社會效益會逐漸體現(xiàn)出來，建高鐵肯定是利大于弊的（its demerits will be overshadowed by the benefits it brings to China’s modernization drive.）

2011中高級口譯口試十大話題之轉(zhuǎn)基因食物（genetically modified food）.由于世界人口越來越多rapid population growth，而耕地面積日益縮減arable land is diminishing 各國政府不得不通過科技手段來增加糧食的產(chǎn)量。Increase grain output by applying advanced technology.（注：饑荒 famine）轉(zhuǎn)基因食品通過基因重組，re-engineering of the DNA of crops使得農(nóng)作物具有抗害蟲的能力more pest-resistant，從而增加畝產(chǎn)，因此被認(rèn)為可以解決世界糧食危機 to cope with global food crisis，保證食品供應(yīng)的安全。Ensure food security/safety.目前，許多人對轉(zhuǎn)基因食品對其毒性問題、營養(yǎng)問題、對抗生素的抵抗作用以及環(huán)境威脅等問題都抱有質(zhì)疑態(tài)度。People are skeptical about the GM food’s toxicity, nutritional value and resistance against antibiotics as a result of being excessively used

客觀來講 Objectively speaking，每一件新生事物，都有它比經(jīng)一個成長過程。我們應(yīng)該用客觀的批判的和包容的眼光去看待。One should be more tolerant to new things 目前轉(zhuǎn)基因技術(shù)，尚處于研究的初級起步階段 starting phase。許多人都堅持認(rèn)為，這種技術(shù)培育出來的食物是“不自然的”unnatural。許多消費者對轉(zhuǎn)基因食品的安全問題提出了質(zhì)疑。最常見的就是，我國的轉(zhuǎn)基因大豆有。消費者對其安全性十分擔(dān)憂people are concerned about the grave threat of GM food such as soybean。從一次次過去的教訓(xùn)中，人們不難得出結(jié)論，人類行為應(yīng)該對自然負責(zé)。Humankind should be more careful when dealing with nature.其實，有時候，確實不必如此 these concerns are legitimate but not necessary。

原因，沒有十足的把握控制基因調(diào)整后的結(jié)果。The possible ill effects of GM food could spin out of control.如果我們的質(zhì)量檢測部門應(yīng)該加強質(zhì)量檢測。Strengthen the oversight of GM food.確保消費者的身體健康，ensure health of people公眾也應(yīng)該有權(quán)知曉，他們在超市購買的食物是否是轉(zhuǎn)基因的。The right to know whether the food they buy and consume is genetically modified or organic.2011中高級口譯口試十大話題之天災(zāi)（Calamity）。

最近世界不太平，自然災(zāi)害頻發(fā)。

就中國而言，我們經(jīng)歷的自然災(zāi)害有：地震、泥石流mudslide triggered by heavy rainfall in Zhouqu、沙塵暴 sandstorm、干旱draught、水災(zāi)、暴風(fēng)雪snow storm/blizzard等

首先，為何自然災(zāi)害頻發(fā)，這是一個很復(fù)雜的問題，既有自然原因，也有人為原因，人為原因原因越來越成為主要原因，由于人類對生態(tài)環(huán)境的破壞 human activity accelerate the environmental degradation，對大氣的污染等等破壞自然的活動，導(dǎo)致我們所生活的環(huán)境日益惡化，像二氧化碳等溫室氣體green house gas的增多，臭氧層的減少depletion of ozone layer都會帶來一系列問題 all bring fatally consequences to humankind，這幾年自然災(zāi)害的增多，也是大自然對人類的報復(fù)Mother nature is seeking her revenge。我們必須清楚，我們對大自然母親必須有敬畏之心。Hold nature in awe.近年來世界范圍頻發(fā)的重大自然災(zāi)害及影響已引起國際社會的高度關(guān)注massive natural disasters have drawn concern form governments around the world，重大自然災(zāi)害事件應(yīng)急與救援的國際化已成為一個國際合作的重要趨勢。The world should get united in the face of natural disasters.面對災(zāi)難，我們眾志成城 get united in the fight when disasters strike.面對災(zāi)難，政府和民眾都要為可能出現(xiàn)最壞的情況做好一切準(zhǔn)備embrace ourselves for the worst。就我國而言，在目前人口大規(guī)模流動 massive migration 和城市化發(fā)展加快against the backdrop of rapid urbanization、自然災(zāi)害時常發(fā)生的情況下，防止人口居住和住宅建筑密度過大 densely populated cities and buildings，以及交通、通信、電力等公共基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施過于集

中，應(yīng)成為各地方城市發(fā)展規(guī)劃與建設(shè)的重要考量when making city planning, top priority should be given to of the safety of infrastructures such as transport, telecommunications and power supply.，并要健全相應(yīng)的災(zāi)害應(yīng)急救援和處置機制 set up mechanisms to mitigate natural disasters。政府要加大投入increase government funding，比如在干旱和水災(zāi)頻發(fā)的地區(qū) in regions that are prone to draught and flood disasters，應(yīng)該加強水利設(shè)施的建設(shè)improve irrigation system.通過各種途徑提高民眾應(yīng)對自然災(zāi)害的意識與自我應(yīng)急防護能力 raise people’s environmental awareness and self-protection when disasters strike.有人說，2012年就是世界末日了，人類何去何從？對于這些世界末日論Doomsday theories,我個人是覺得很荒唐。Ridiculous 我們深知：古往今來 since ancient times，這個世界出現(xiàn)了多少次的危機 humankind has survived innumerable crisis：隕石撞擊struck by meteors，洪災(zāi)肆虐，瘟疫橫行plague，戰(zhàn)火蔓延war 饑荒famine 人類一次又一次地面臨著挑戰(zhàn)。是屈服surrender還是抗?fàn)巉ight back？是沉默還是覺醒awakened to crisis？一場洪水，可以奪去無數(shù)的生命claim lives/ heavy toll on lives，一場地震，可以摧毀我們的家園。但這些，卻不能令我們失去勇氣，失去對未來的向往。

2011中高級口譯口試十大話題之虎媽戰(zhàn)歌（Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother）

美籍華裔移民、48歲的耶魯法學(xué)院教授蔡美兒Amy Chua 以其新書《虎媽戰(zhàn)歌Battle Hymn of Tiger Mom》一舉成名。Shot to stardom with the release of her new book她在《華爾街日報》上的那一篇 “為何中國媽媽更勝一籌”的文章在美國乃至整個西方社會掀起軒然大波.Why Chinese mom are superior?Traditional Chinese way of strict parenting triggered heated debate in US 在書中，蔡美兒指出中國父母得以“成功”有三大特質(zhì)：不理會孩子的自尊心Western parents are concerned about their children's psyches.Chinese parents aren't.They assume strength, not fragility, and as a result they behave very differently than western parents.認(rèn)定孩子必須孝順父母；堅信小孩子不懂事，需要父母指引。Chinese parents believe that their kids owe them everything, probably a combination of Confucian filial piety and the fact that the parents have sacrificed and done so much for their children.So, Chinese children must spend their lives repaying their parents by obeying them and making them proud.Because Chinese parents believe that they know what is best for their children and therefore override all of their children's own desires and preferences.蔡美兒堅稱以強迫壓力為特點的中國傳統(tǒng)子女教育方法，遠優(yōu)于西方的教育方法。這些雷人(thunder-striking)的育兒經(jīng)和“咆哮式 screaming and hair-tearing”教育方式parenting method經(jīng)媒體報道，儼然成為中美家庭教育比較的典型樣本，甚至被扯到中美兩國競爭力的話題上。

最近，上海的孩子在一次全球 PISA測驗中取得了第一名的成績.Kids in Shanghai came top in a PISA test, a worldwide evaluation of 15-year-old school pupils' scholastic performance.而很多西方國家的孩子，比如美國，遠遠落在后面。Western kids are lagged far behind.有人就說,這就足以證明蔡美兒的方式是正確的。

首先，我們必須要看清一個事實 we must be fully aware of the fact that 學(xué)術(shù)成就固然重要，但是，是否學(xué)術(shù)成就是衡量一個孩子全面發(fā)展的唯一標(biāo)準(zhǔn)呢True, scholastic performance is

important, but how can we objectively evaluate the overall development of a kid，is scholastic performance a sole criterion ？看看我們今天的孩子，每天要學(xué)習(xí)到深夜，讓人心疼it’s so disheartening to see that Chinese kids have to study very late into night, day after colorless day，很明顯，他們的學(xué)術(shù)成就是以幸福的童年為代價的 obviously, the excellent performance at school is achieved at expanse of a happy childhood。此外，可能這種應(yīng)試教育方法能夠創(chuàng)造出很多數(shù)學(xué)天才，cramming method will churn out math whizz kids/child prodigies但是的死記硬背一些前人已經(jīng)研究過的東西，對推動知識的前進是一點幫助都沒有的。死記硬背完全扼殺了孩子的創(chuàng)造力.Toiling themselves on rote learning suppresses the creativity of the kids.Rote learning of old knowledge won’t help push back the frontier of science.讓人不可思議的是ironically，蔡美兒把不尊重自己孩子看成是一種美德 if disrespect of her own children is considered a virtue, what is respect? 試問，這樣的孩子長大，是否也會知道尊重他人呢？要知道，知識沒有了道德等于火焰沒有了溫暖。Knowledge without integrity is like fire without zest.如果說蔡美兒的方法是正確的，為何有那么多年輕人會選擇新東方，然后選擇出國留學(xué)呢？

2011中高級口譯口試十大話題之高房價（Soaring property prices）。

2006年以來，中國主要大城市的房價飛速發(fā)展(surge, skyrocket, soar)，已經(jīng)到了普通老百姓不能承受的地步(out of the reach of ordinary wage-earners)。產(chǎn)生這一買房熱有多種緣由(there are multiple causes behind this property craze)。

首先，隨著城市化進程(rapid urbanization)，越來越多的農(nóng)民擁入城市(influx of migrant workers)，這就催生了很多的所謂剛性需求demand。

其次，中國的社會福利體制不健全(social security and welfare system老外就簡稱security net)，外加上老百姓的投資渠道有限(limited investment channel)、助長(trigger, foster, breed, give rise to)了樓市的投機行為(rampant speculation)。

第三，多年來，中國過量發(fā)行貨幣(excessive monetary supply)，尤其是2008年，為了應(yīng)對金融危機，中國政府4萬億的經(jīng)濟刺激計劃，(the four trillion stimulus package designed to mitigate the global financial crisis, which translates into more speculative activities)使得通貨膨脹讓有錢人都把錢用于置業(yè)。最后，地方財政高度依賴房地產(chǎn)(government fiscal income is heavily dependent on property)，經(jīng)濟發(fā)展陷入惡性循環(huán)中。(China’s economy is mired in a vicious circle).高房價對中國經(jīng)濟的影響是非常明顯的。

首先，這嚴(yán)重普通工薪階層的生活質(zhì)量(gravely affect the livelihood of ordinary wage-earners)，加重了他們的支出，這對刺激內(nèi)需是非常不利的(go against the government’s vow to bolster domestic demand)。

其次，高房價催生了很多的“蟻族”(anti-tribe)，優(yōu)秀的大學(xué)畢業(yè)生的才能被高房價綁架，生活非常窘困(Talents of fresh college graduates are held hostage by soaring property prices)。具有諷刺意義的是(ironically)，10年前的大學(xué)畢業(yè)生躊躇滿志(aspire to realize their great ambitions)，希望大城市能實現(xiàn)他們的雄心壯志，要報效祖國(to serve their country)，而現(xiàn)在的大學(xué)生，只求一份能養(yǎng)活自己的工作，頭上有屋頂(roof over their head)。長此以往，我們的民族哪來希望(dim prospect)。

此外，高房價，高成本，讓很多畢業(yè)多年的白領(lǐng)也不堪重負。北京、上海、廣州這樣的大型城市，之所以能快速發(fā)展，是因為吸引了很多從祖國四面八方而來的青年才俊，而高房價不少人紛紛表示，要回到老家去,或者去二三線城市(move to second and third-tier cities)。這對這些城市而言會造成大量的人才流失brain drain，城市也缺少勞動者。最好的佐證(a case in point)，就是春節(jié)后，很多大城市都發(fā)生了用工荒的問題。(Shortage of workforce)

城市，應(yīng)該讓生活更美好。這意味著，每一個人都應(yīng)該能安居(Comfortable housing is aa prerequisite of a better life)。政府應(yīng)該解決人民的疾苦，(address the concerns of people)疏民怨(redress people’s grievances)，解民困(alleviate the people’s hardships)。目前，政府的安居工程，保障房工程(affordable housing project, indemnificatory housing project)就開始著手解決這些問題。此外，政府頒布了一系列房產(chǎn)調(diào)控措施(roll out a series of measures to contain/cool down)，這些措施應(yīng)該是對中國未來經(jīng)濟走勢將產(chǎn)生深遠影響 far-reaching influence)。

2011中高級口譯口試十大話題之中國經(jīng)濟

據(jù)媒體報道，中國已經(jīng)取代了日本成為了世界第二大經(jīng)濟體(surpass Japan to become the second largest economy in the world)。這個消息的確讓人歡欣鼓舞，這是中國改革開放以來，發(fā)展的又一里程碑式的事件(another milestone since the opening and reform of China)但是，僅僅是GDP并不能說明中國經(jīng)濟的全部(GDP alone does not give a full picture of the Chinese economy).首先，中國的貧富差距在拉大(the widening wealth gap),中國的經(jīng)濟發(fā)展也很不平衡China’s economic development is imbalanced.這些都給社會的穩(wěn)定造成了潛在威脅(pose potential threat to social stability)如果按照人均GDP(GDP per capita)來算，中國排在世界124位 ranked behind 100th position globally，遠遠落在很多發(fā)達國家之后 lagged far behind.此外，中國的發(fā)展也付出了慘重的代價 China’s development comes at a price。我們居住的環(huán)境極具惡化。Environmental degradation.資源的枯竭 energy exhaustion 以代工為主的勞動密集型產(chǎn)業(yè)(labor intensive, low-end manufacturing industry)也讓我們的勞動者不看重負。

這些問題已經(jīng)得到了國家領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人的高度重視 top government agenda，在中國的第十二五規(guī)劃中in the Twelfth Five-Year Plan，中國現(xiàn)在需要做的必須是改變經(jīng)濟發(fā)展模式 change the mode of economic development.這是一個艱巨而迫切的任務(wù) a pressing and difficult task.
