2012年11月翻译考试二级口译实务试题点评-汉译英2

汉译英

第二段：出处不明，很可能是一个现场的讲话，这种题目往往真实地反映口译者日常工作的特点。难度不大，但词汇，特别是专业词汇较多。

Para 1

我在美国三十年，只做一件事情，就是给我们的地震学家和气象学家设计最快的超级电脑。使他们能够用最快速的计算手段进行复杂的计算和做各种研究。

难词：中 华 考 试 网
地震学家和气象学家 seismologist and meteorologist

In the past three decade, the only thing I did in America was making fastest supercomputer for our seismologists and meteorologists so that they can engage in complicated computing and researches with the quickest means.

在口译中，句型的变化和弹性非常关键，这个句子中的so that 可以起到换一口气的作用，同时也给了句子新的人称做主语。

简单的说，云计算是一种基于因特网的超级计算模式。是指有感知，有互联，有协作，随时随地感知任何事物。 A simple explanation for cloud computing is that it is a super computing model based on the Internet. Cloud computing is a model that can perceive, interconnect, cooperate and feel anything at any time and place.

这句话的关键在于把句子的成份补齐，在口译中阅卷过程中，常常听到很多考生不能把话说全，或者句子之间的语法关键混乱或者说是令人产生疑问。这往往是由于受到中文句子不全的影响。

para 3

比如，科学家可以将云计算用于地震，水灾，旱灾，沙尘暴等自然灾害的预警上。预警做得越准确，时间越早越好。除了自然灾害以外，我们还可能把云计算用于人为灾害的预警上，包括环境污染，金融风暴，资源短缺甚至政变，战争等等。

这个段落主要考的还是词汇和句法。

For example, scientist can use cloud computing to predict natural disasters, including earthquakes, floods, drought and sandstorms. It will be much better to have earlier and more accurate warnings. In addition, we can also apply the technique to disasters resulting from human activities, such as environmental hazard, financial crisis, resource shortages, even coups and wars.

Para 5

云计算还可以带来教育互动，将教育普及到世界每个角落，使资源得到有效利用。云计算还可能进入智慧家庭，甚至影响我们下一代的社会价值观。用云计算带动他们从小开始做公益，帮助他人。我希望在云计算的新社会里，新的智慧家庭会有新的突破。 Cloud computing also brings forth interactions in education. It can disseminate education everywhere in the world and use the resource more effectively. Cloud computing can also make its way in our smart home and shape the outlooks of our next generation. Cloud computing teaches the young to act for public good and help others. It is my wish to see new breakthroughs in the new smart homes of communities supported by cloud computing.
