2013年3月高级口译听力真题完整版（含评析）

Directions: In this part of the test, you will hear 5 English sentences. You will hear the sentences ONLY ONCE. After you have heard each sentence, translated it into Chinese and write your version in the corresponding space in your ANSWER BOOKLET. Now let’s begin part B with sentence translation.

1. In high school, a good student is supposed to get a perfect score. In college, the teacher wants to challenge even the best students. Therefore, almost nobody answers every questions correctly.
在高中，一个好学生理应获得一个优秀的分数；但是在大学，老师甚至经常会刁难最优秀的学生。所以，几乎没有人可以把每个问题都回答对。

2. In fact, if you go to the Continent, to France or Germany, you find that city centers have been turned into pedestrian precincts and the cars been almost banned.
事实上，如果你去欧洲大陆，比如说法国或者德国，你会发现市中心已经被变成了行人专用区，汽车几乎都被禁止通行了。

3. People living in a town would never dream of walking. There are just too many barriers, pedestrian underpasses, broken pavements and traffic lights where you have to run like a rabbit to get across in time.
住在城市里面的人基本不会考虑步行，因为城市里面有太多障碍，例如，人行隧道，破旧的人行道和交通灯，在这些地方，你不得不像一只兔子那样跑起来，才能及时通过。

4. Statistics show that lawyers are the most depressed of all professionals. Lawyers are always acting on behalf of someone else. Suicide is among the leading causes of premature death among lawyers.
数据表明，律师是所有职业中最压抑的职业。律师经常需要为别人辩护。自杀是造成律师过早死亡的首因。

5. I’m afraid we can’t reduce the price of this brand of shirt. You know, $20.15 is our rock bottom price. If you purchase more than 10,000 units, we can reduce it to $19.
恐怕我们不能降低这个品牌衬衣的价格。20.15美元已经是我们的最低价了。如果你能买1万件以上的话，我们可以把单价降到19美元。
