6. 遇到难词不要慌,根据上下文猜测词意
Eg 1 Our high schools are obsolete and out-of-dated. By “obsolete”, I don’t just mean that they are broken, old-fashioned and under-funded.
Eg2 They prefer to shop, dine or sit in ‘adult-only’ spaces in order to avoid wailing infants and keep themselves quiet and peaceful.
7. 运用常识
Eg. South of the canyon lies Yellowstone Lake, one of the world’s largest freshwater lakes. Don’t plan on going for a dip—the water is too cold!
大峡谷的南面是科罗拉多湖,世界上最大的新鲜水湖,不要尝试在里面浸泡,因为湖水很冷。
8. 关于组句技巧
a. 不要堆砌定语,定语从句要拆分,做到listener-friendly
Eg. In this fast-changing world, there are always young potential employees who believe that opportunities arising from new and high technology can create fortunes faster than ever before.
在快速变化的世界里,总有一些年轻的,有潜力的,相信来自于高新技术的机会能更快地创造财富的员工。
Eg. Chinese communities are thriving in many American urban centers, and their reputation as a model minority has aroused further interest in this distant land, which is so vastly different.
许多美国城市的华人社区一片繁荣,并且享有模范少数民族的美誉,这让美国人对这个遥远国度产生了浓厚兴趣。然而,他们的文化却大相径庭。
b. 顺句驱动原则----按照原语句子的顺序口译,不轻易改变句序。 往往要重复或增词
Ladies and gentlemen, at this closing to the end of our visit, I would like to express our heart-felt thanks to our Chinese hosts for their extraordinary arrangements and hospitality.
女士们,先生们,在结束此次访问之际,我要表达我诚挚的谢意,感谢中国东道主,感谢他们的周到安排和热情款待。
