口译三级实务（中英双向互译）模拟试卷8
中英双向互译

A：王先生，感谢您接受我们的采访。这是您的作品首次被翻译成英语，并在海外出版。您这本书写的是中国北宋时期著名的文学家苏轼。有的英语读者可能对他不太熟悉，您能简单介绍一下吗?
B: Sure. Su Shi was an extraordinary writer in ancient China. He was one of the eight most well-known prose writers in the Tang and Song dynasties and he created a new style of ci. But Su Shi’s achievements were not limited to literature. He did a lot for his people when working as an official and greatly improved people’s livelihood.
A：您刚才提到了词。这是一种什么样的文学体裁，苏轼又对词的发展做出了怎样的贡献呢?
A：宋代经济社会的稳定，造就了中国古代史上最为丰富的文化生活。当时诞生了一大批作家和文学作品，而且作家同时也是政治家的情况很常见。北宋的文化背景在苏轼的写作生涯中发挥了重要作用。您刚才还说到，苏轼做过一段时间的官。这段从政经历对他来讲意味着什么?
B: You can take ci as a type of poetry. The most obvious difference between ci and traditional Chinese poetry is that the number of characters each line of a poem must be the same, while ci is composed of long and short sentences. And before Su Shi, the functions of poetry and ci were totally different. People wrote about their ambitions in poems while ci was used to express feelings. But Su Shi expanded the topics of ci. He talked about politics and military in his works of ci with straightforward language.
A：这对他来说也许是不幸。但对包括我们在内的读者来说却是幸事。苏轼的作品能跨越时空，一直在启迪着人们的思想。我非常期待美国读者对您的作品还有苏轼的评价。
B: Political experience gave Su Shi an in-depth understanding of politics, and thus his prose often involved comments and thoughts on national policies. These essays had very high literary and historical value. Besides, the major trials in Su Shi’s life were caused by politics. He also developed many profound thoughts about life because of the experience and produced many thought-provoking works.

A: Mr. Smith, it’s a pleasure to talk with you as well as Chinese and foreign friends about Shakespeare and Tang Xianzu. These two writers have good reputations in their home countries. Although they didn’t know each other, today we often compare one with the other. Part of the reason is that they lived in the same era and both passed away in 1616.
B：我也很高兴来到这里。莎士比亚和汤显祖都是著名的剧作家，他们的影响力跨越了国界。两人有很多共同点，比如各自的社会都盛产文艺作品，并且当时中英两国的文化生活也十分丰富。
A: Yes, both the culture of society in the Ming dynasty and the English Renaissance provided good environments for writers. There’re also some similarities between the works of Shakespeare and Tang Xianzu, such as their focus on human emotions and the common values of mankind. Romeo and Juliet and The Peony Pavilion both told stories of love between young men and women.
B：有趣的是，这两部剧作的结局完全不同。《罗密欧与朱丽叶》是悲剧，而《牡丹亭》则是喜剧。这可能和当时中英两国的戏剧风格以及人们的偏好有关。
A: There’s no doubt that works of both writers have a high literary value. But their styles are a bit different due to the groups of audience they had. In the Ming dynasty in China, Kunqu was the most popular type of drama whose main audience was writers and nobles. In order to meet their demands, the plays were written beautifully and elegantly. But for ordinary people, they were a bit difficult to understand.
B：没错。而莎士比亚作品的目标受众则是来自各个领域的人，包括女王和市民。因此，他的戏剧受到了全社会的广泛欢迎，在当时的知名度也比汤显祖更高。
A: It’s now generally believed that Shakespeare’s works are the representative of English literature while Tang Xianzu’s works only symbolize Chinese traditional plays. This might be related to the popularity and influence of their works among ordinary people.
