译职业的人也越来越多。今天我们为大家整理了中级口译

Passage 1： 【原文】 While the rest of the world played soccer or the British football, Americans played basketball and baseball. But now soccer is rapidly becoming a major sport in the United States for reasons as simple as the game itself. School officials like it and kids like it. For the school authorities, it’s much cheaper to set up a soccer team. And for the kids, they don’t need to be big or tall to play soccer. All they need is the desire to run. 【参考译文】 当世界其他地方都在踢足球或英式足球的时候，美国人在打篮球和棒球。但是现在，足球已经快速成为美国一个主要的运动项目，其中的缘由和这项运动本身一样简单。校领导喜欢足球，孩子们也喜欢足球。对于校方来说，成立一个足球队成本更少。而对孩子们来说，踢足球并不要求他们长得高高壮壮。他们所需要的就是对奔跑的渴望。 【评析】 这篇文章还是很容易的。话题是我们非常熟悉的体育。平时注意体育话题相关词汇积累。 翻译的时候，注意表达。本篇语气篇口语化。因此翻译一篇文章弄清楚文章的风格也很重要，这样表达时，就知道到底是正式语气表达还是非正式语气表达。有时也有必要了解文章的体材：议论性、说明性还是描述性，从整体把握译文的风格。 1.“as simple as …itself”一般译为“正如…本身一样简单或纯粹” 2.“big or tall”。在这里我们形象地译为“高高壮壮”或“高高大大” Passage 2： 【原文】 What really makes me mad is the attitude towards morals. Some people are really shocked because actors are allowed to walk about the stage with little clothes on these days. But these same people are not shocked by advertisements which persuade the public to buy things which can do real harm to people, like cigarettes and alcohol for example. I think a lot of advertisements are much more immoral than so-called pornographic or dirty plays and books because they lie or at least disguise the truth. 【参考译文】 真正让我发狂的是人们对道德的态度。演员可以着装暴露，在台上走来走去，这让一些人感到惊讶，然而同样是这批人，却不会因为广告劝说公众购买如烟酒等对他们有害的产品而震惊。我认为比起那些所谓的色情或黄色节目和书刊，很多广告更不道德，因为它们在说谎，至少在掩盖真相。 【评析】 本段话共由4句话组成，后三个句子都略微偏长，但是并不复杂，所以难度一般。较难把握的几个词组如下： 1. little clothes连用。little如果作为“少”修饰的是不可数名词，很明显这里不合适，可以考虑little表示“短的”意思，意译为“着装暴露”。 2. pornographic对学生词汇量要求较高。这个单词表示“色情的、黄色的”。同时，dirty这里不能直译为“脏的”，而应该采用它的引申义“下流的、色情的”。 3. disguise较难，表示“掩饰、掩盖”，disguise the truth也就可以翻译为“掩盖真相”。

Music affects us as profoundly as anything we experience. Very many people say that music is a big part of their everyday life. We can hear evidence of this in the blurring car radio and see the jogger with his personal stereo. That is the new portability of music. That brings it everywhere people live, play and work. There are different kinds of music , for all tastes – classical, pop, rock, rap, jazz, folk – each culture has its own style. Different parts of the body resonate to different sounds and pitches, and most significantly, certain kinds of music resound powerfully in the human spirit.  We can listen to music anywhere and everywhere. Listening to music can change your mood – sometimes dramatically. Sometimes, if you’re feeling low, it’s tempting to play slow sad music, but this would make you feel worse. And lifting tune or cheerful song can instantly improve your energy levels and your emotional well being.  Music in film and television shows us how music can affect mood. A romantic drama would have a very different film score to a thriller. The old “silent” films originally had a pianist in the cinema playing along, trying to strike the right mood. At times, when watching a film or TV programme, you know what’s about to happen because of the music being played – you can anticipate the terror, such as in “Jaws”. There’re many times when I’ve turn down the sound during a TV programme and use subtitles because the music unsettles means so much. Playing Mozart when studying is said to increase our IQ. A recent study has showed that children who learn a musical instrument are much quicker at developing spatial awareness and problem solving skills. Relaxation music has a slow rhythm. Sounds are often synthesised and there may be added natural sounds, such as whalesong, birdsong, waves or gentle rain to help produce a feeling of calm and relaxation. 点评：这是一篇关于各种音乐与人之间的关系的文章。音乐在现今社会因为移动终端设备而变得在生活中无时不在，无处不在。不同的音乐对人的精神和情绪影响也各有不同。悲伤时，如果我们听慢调而悲伤的音乐，我们会更悲伤。而那些快乐的歌曲则能让我们的情绪迅速恢复过来。电影和电视剧中的音乐同样能够影响我们的情绪，例如恐怖片和浪漫爱情片的音乐是如此不同，另外还举了默片时代的音乐以及看电影电视剧时我们配着背景音乐时会做出的一些反应。最后谈到研究表明音乐能提高智商。舒缓的音乐节奏缓慢。同时，音乐中越来越多地加入原生态、大自然的元素来帮住人们获得更多平静和放松。 文章属于考生日常生活中都会接触到的娱乐休闲类的话题，正如文中所说，音乐在我们现今的社会无时、无处不在，相信考生对文中谈及的音乐及其作用都感同身受，从而能够比较轻松地完成这篇听写题目。

比较常见，难度不大。 段落语义虽容易理解，但考生要切忌word by word 的直译。比如段落多次出现feel这个单词，如果全部翻译成“感觉”，就显得呆板，不切文意。考生翻译的时候，要根据语境进行调整。如“it helps you sleep better and feel more relaxed.”中的feel可淡化，将relaxed从形容词转译为动词，译为“放松自己”。“you will feel stronger”中的feel可译为“发现”。另外，“Your heart pumps more oxygen-filled blood to all parts of your body with each beat.”这句如果直译的话，会造成句子意群过多，长度过长，不符合汉语的表达习惯，所以要注意切分句子，化长句会小句。本句中暗含着两层意思，一个是血液的含氧量会增加，另一个是，心脏每次向身体各部分输送的血流量会增多。纵观该段落，只要考生在平时多关注生活常识，对此类文章多加练习，一定会得到不错的分数。
