2008 年 10 月翻译资格二级英语口译实务真题及答案

The Certificate of English Interpretation: Level Ⅱ

Now please listen to the instructions about this exam. I'll give you a brief

introduction before each part of the exam begins and leave you enough time to

do the interpreting.

Each part is divided into a number of segments and at the start of each segment

you will hear this tone . At each pause where you are expected to start

interpreting, you'll also hear this tone . You'llhear each segment only once.

Let's start with Part 1.

Part 1 Consecutive Interpretation: English to Chinese

In this part you will hear a speech delivered in English by Princess Cristina

to the Second WorldAssembly on Ageing. Please interpret this speech into

Chinese.

Let's begin.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

It is my pleasure to address you as a United Nations Goodwill Ambassador to

this Second WorldAssembly on Ageing, an honour which I truly welcome, and one

which has provided me with an excellentopportunity to promote awareness of

ageing. I congratulate the Secretary-General of the United Nations, thechairmen

and the executive heads of the organizations of the United Nations system on

their excellent work,the Chairman and Vice-Chairmen of the Preparatory

Committee on their dedication, and the many individualswho have helped to make

this Second World Assembly possible.

We are honoured to be hosting this world event in Spain. Our interest stems

from our realization thatthe ageing of the population presents a challenge for

which we must prepare ourselves and that we must beready to take advantage of

the abilities of older persons. Therefore, in offering to be the host country,

Spainwished to demonstrate its interest in policies for the integration of

older persons and to give impetus to aninnovative debate in our society.

We are living through a period of major demographic change. The elderly are

ever more numerous.That people are living longer and under better conditions,

as a result of social progress, is one of humanity'sgreatest achievements.

Older persons are a universal force with the potential to transform the future.

Thisglobal transformation is going to affect individuals, families, communities

and virtually every area of society.

Accordingly, we must prepare ourselves for this new challenge by promoting

changes in attitude towardsthis demographic revolution, which is taking place

because of the increase in the number of older personsin the world. Achieving a

society for all ages involves analysing society from a broader perspective

andhighlights the role played by relations between the various generations

making up society. Solidarity betweenthe generations in all areas of family,

community and national life is essential for social cohesion.

We younger people must be increasingly aware that, in order to move forward in

building a more just society, we must recognize the advances made by older

generations and value their experience and currentabilities appropriately. At

the same time, we must be able to transmit such values to coming

generations.Inter-generational solidarity is a natural setting within which

encounter, learning and exchange take placeamong individuals. It offers

advantages to all and helps in achieving a more integrated society.

Together we will build a positive image of ageing, which should involve not

simply prolonging life, but also ensuring that old age is healthy, independent,

active and fully integrated in society. Ageing should be seen as astage in life

during which men and women can still develop their skills, as active agents in

our societies, in whichthey should continue to participate as full citizens

with full social recognition.

I hope that all the proposals that result from this World Assembly will enable

our society to face the challenges posed by the ageing of the population, and

that they will be translated into practice by the greatestpossible number of

countries in such a way that older persons will benefit from them as soon as

possible.

Thank you.

That's the end of Part 1. Now we move on to Part 2.

Part 2 Consecutive Interpretation: Chinese to English

In this part you will hear a speech delivered by a Chinese official on China 'S

environmental protection and development policy at an international conference.

Please interpret this speech into English.
