Passage Translation
Passage 1

American businessmen frequently use social situations to make business deals. One of the best examples of this practice is the business lunch. It is used to win clients, to make influential contacts, to discuss and settle internal disagreements and even to interview potential employees. Some companies always conduct job interviews over lunch. A business lunch usually lasts from one to two and a half hours and it often takes place at a restaurant with a pleasant quiet atmosphere, conducive to private discussions.

美国商务人士经常利用各种社会场合进行商务洽谈。其中， 最为人所知的做法就是商务午餐。 通过商务午餐，公司可以赢得客户，进行有效的商务接洽，商量和解决内部分歧，甚至有时在商务午餐过程中面试潜在的雇员。 有些公司经常利用午餐时间进行面试。 一次商务午餐一般持续1个小时至2.5小时。这样的面试，经常选在环境宜人安静的餐馆进行，这样有利于私密的谈话。

Passage 2　

As the world population becomes denser, we will feel greater pressure from the expanding number of people. Some experts argue that we are approaching the limit of the number of people the earth can support adequately. And they feel we should turn to compulsory birth control. Other authorities feel that if birth control is imposed on the population, the future of mankind would be seriously endangered. They think intelligent people would be more likely to have fewer children, which would bring about a lowering of the level of intelligence.

由于世界人口密度不断增大，人口增长所带来的压力越来越大。一些专家称，人类正在逼近地球所能承受的极限。专家认为，人类可以进行强制性的人口控制措施。但是其他权威人士认为，倘若采取人口控制措施，那么人类的未来将受到严重威胁。他们认为，很可能那些智商比较高的人将减少生育，这将降低智商的总体水平。

Questions 11-14

Woman: what are you laughing about?

Man: I just saw the silliest advertisement on TV for “jam and soups”, it’s said:” all our products are homemade with the freshest vegetables and fruits. Then a scene in the factory show the products are prepared and packed by the most sophisticated machinery.

Woman: And I am sure that the word “natural” was put on the jars and cans of the products. I think the stupidest advertisements are those that imply “you are one of a kind”. If you buy the product, you will be a very special person. No, you will be just like every other one of the 20 million people who bought it.

Man: That is really silly. But to me, the dullest of them all is when advertisers put a celebrity on TV to talk about a particular brand of soup or bought a particular car. I bet that the celebrities never use that product before they get the job of appearing in the commercial　　

Woman: Yeah, but most of these commercials work and people remember the product.

Man: I agree. Here we are talking about ad we’ve seen, aren’t we? we are all influenced by those celebrities and brand names.

Woman: I think teenagers are specially vulnerable. Advertisers try to get teenagers use to a brand because they know that in later years, the teenagers will stick to that particular product of theirs.

Question 11: what’s in the advertisement made the man laugh?

Question 12: when some ads imply that “you are one of a kind”, what does that mean?

Questions 13: why does the advertiser put a celebrity on TV to talk about a particular product?

Question 14: According to the woman, what will teenagers do if they are used to a brand?

Questions 15-18 are based on the following talk

Many of you may have heard of “jetlag”, which is a condition of sleep disorders resulting from rapid travel over time zones such as on a jet plane. The symptoms of jetlag can be quite varied and may include: loss of appetite, nausea , headache, fatigue, insomnia or even mild depression. Here are few tips for you to avoid jetlag or cope if you are stricken by the condition. First adjust your biological rhythm several days before your departure. And develop a plan to start switching to the time zone of your destination. For instance, if you will be flying from New York to Paris where is 6 hours later. Get up one hour earlier for a couple of days, then two hours earlier, then three hours earlier. I would try to at least get half way to a new time zone. Turn lights on during daytime in your destination and off during the night time. Second, during the time of your adjustment and especially during the flight, drink plenty of water. If you are not a big water fan, drink some other fluid that is not high in sugar, carbonation or caffeine. Avoid junk food, salty foods, caffeine and alcohol on the plane. Of cause I say that, but I always have a couple of drinks during the flight, if you do that, just be sure to drink as much water between drinks as possible. Thirdly, when you arrive in your destination, try to resist the urge to nap during day time, get outside during the daylight hours, even if its just to sit in a café and relax. Try to get a goodnight sleep for the first couple nights. The key is to reset your body’s nature clock and to get enough rest. Finally when you return home, use some of the same tactics above to return to your previous time zone.

Question 15: what is the speaker’s definition of jetlag?

Question 16: what is the difference of time zones between New York and Paris?

Question 17: what does the speaker recommend if you do not want to drink much water during the flight?

Question 18: according to the speaker, what should you try to do once you arrive at your destination?

新世界口译：09年3月高级口译英译汉原文及参考答案

In-state tuition. For decades, it was the one advantage big state schools had that even the Ivy League couldn’t match, in terms of recruiting the best and the brightest to their campuses. But these days, that’s no longer necessarily the case. Starting this September, some students will find a Harvard degree cheaper than one from many public universities.

Harvard officials sent shock waves through academia last December by detailing a new financial-aid policy that will charge families making up to $180,000 just 10% of their household income per year, substantially subsidizing the annual cost of more than $45,600 for all but its wealthiest students. The move was just the latest in what has amounted to a financial-aid bidding war in recent years among the U.S.’s élite universities.

Though Harvard’s is the most generous to date, Princeton, Dartmouth, Yale and Stanford have all launched similar plans to cap tuition contributions for students from low- and middle-income families. Indeed, students on financial aid at nearly every Ivy stand a good chance of graduating debt-free, thanks to loan-elimination programs introduced over the past five years. And other exclusive schools have followed their lead. And several more schools are joining the no-loan club this fall, Even more schools have taken steps to reduce debt among their neediest students.

参考答案：
　　州民学费，数十年来，这是大多州立大学所拥有的一大优势，各州立大学用此来吸引众多品质优良、天资聪慧的莘莘学子，在这方面，即使是长春藤盟校也无法与之比拼。但近期，情况已经不再是以前的局面。从今年九月起，部分学生会发现，从哈佛大学拿一个学位所需的费用比许多公立大学还要低。

去年十二月，哈佛大学的管理者们出台了一份详尽的助学政策，规定年总收入在18万美元以下的家庭，只需用其年总收入的10%作为自己孩子的学费，因此，除了那些来自极为富裕的家庭的学生以外，哈佛大学的学子每人每年所获的学费补贴可高达45600美元。这一政策变动在美国名校间引起一阵震惊。美国的名校近几年来竞相出台各种助学计划，并在资助幅度上相互比拼，哈佛这一政策不过是其中最新的一步。

哈佛的政策可算是至今为止最为慷慨的，不过普林斯顿、达特茅斯、耶鲁和斯坦福都启动了类似的助学计划，规定了来自中低收入家庭学生们的学费上限。事实上，由于过去五年中所推行的学费贷款减免计划，每个长春藤盟校的学生，如果他是接受学费资助的，都很有可能在毕业时无债一身轻。其他的高收费学校也纷纷效法。今年秋季更多的学校会加入减免学费贷款的行列。还有更多的学校已经采取措施逐步减轻家境困难的学生们学费贷款的压力。

Passage Translation
　　If you are required to give a presentation or speech, just remember: make the structure and points of what you are saying obvious to the audience. Don’t be afraid to rephrase and summarize your main points to make sure that you get them across. But make it enjoyable for the audience too, by being amusing if it’s appropriate, or by perhaps illustrating points you make with an anecdote or an analogy. Something that is too abstract and theoretical can be a bit tedious to listen to for too long. Anyway, we can discuss that in great detail when you’ve got your subject chosen.

如果需要做演示或演讲的话，请牢记：清晰明了地把你所要说的结构和要点传达给听众。为了确保观众领悟到演讲要点，请大胆地进行重新措辞或者归纳。适当的玩笑，或者引用轶事或比喻，可以使得你的演讲更加有意思。太抽象和太理论化的冗长演讲，都会显得乏味无趣。 总之，等选定讲题后可以进一步探讨。

According to the latest report issued by the Department of Health, there are now 13 states where more than a quarter of the adult population is overweight or obese.

Question 1~5
　　M: Emily, I know you’ve have been the victim of a crime.

E: Unfortunately, yes. Once I was mugged by some young kids.

M: What happened?

E: I was going home late at night and I couldn’t see a single person on the street. And it was winter. Oh, it was so cold. So I had my scarf wrapped around my face. And then suddenly, I walked straight into these three guys. They looked about 14 or 15. And they said something threatening, like “give us all the money or we’re gonna kill you.” And I am looking at them because they look so young, and I am thinking, “what on earth are you doing?” They said, “Blah, blah, and blah.” And I said, “listen, it’s very cold. Give me a second. I have to take off my gloves.”

M: You must have been really scared.

E: Well, I opened my purse, and all I’ve got is a few dollars. I was so nervous. And I say, “here it is.” And they say, “four dollars?” “yeah, it’s four dollars.” And they say, “that’s all you have?”

M: So, so then what happened?

E: Well, I gave them the money and I just went home. But I felt so bad when I was walking down the street. You know, I really had mixed feelings about it. I wanna to say., “guys, what are you doing? You know, go home. You are ruining your lives. And I think “why are those kids on the street doing things that they’re not supposed to. Something stupid, really stupid. That could lead to something worse. “

M: Did you report the crime?

E: No, I didn’t. Kids like that don’t need prosecuting. They need parenting, They need someone to put them on the right path. These kids really need, you know, help.
