要求:听一段长约1 分钟的中文讲话视频,然后在45 秒内用英文概述其主要信息。
冬奥会上中国运动员表现突出,也激发了国人对滑冰运动的激情。滑冰不仅能够增强人
体的协调性,也可以增加人的心肺功能:一项研究表明,坚持滑冰运动的人患心脏病的几率
可以减少50%到70%。此外,滑冰还能有效锻炼下肢力量,使腿部赘肉减少,肌肉更加结
实,它属于大运动量运动,因此有很好的减肥效果。
人们从事传统的运动项目如跑步、游泳时危险性相对较低,不需要专门的防护装备。但
我们滑冰时要注意安全,要穿好冰鞋,这对于初次尝试的人来说,可能会有些不适应,因为
冰鞋比较硬,穿着感觉被紧紧地裹着,这是为了防止脚踝左右移动造成受伤。在滑行时注意
俯身、弯腿,重心向前,这样即时滑倒了也不会受伤。
主旨应涵盖以下内容:
Interest in skating in China has been boosted by the nation’s success in the Winter
Olympics.
Skating can improve coordination, reduce the risk of heart disease, and help to
improve fitness.

第二环节:会议口译
要求:听一段长约1.5 分钟的英文演讲并译为中文。演讲中间不停顿。
Ladies and gentlemen,
The sharp global contraction is affecting both advanced and developing countries.
According to the IMF, Global GDP will decline this year for the first time since World War II,
with growth at least 5 percentage points below potential. In responding to the global
financial crisis, developing and emerging market countries will face three main policy
challenges.
The first policy challenge is stabilization. Given the unprecedented severity of the
crisis, the challenge for policymakers is to assess their ability to undertake countercyclical
policies given the resources available to them as well as their capacity to adapt existing
programs.
The second polity challenge is protecting longer-term growth and development. An
important lesson learned during the Asian financial crisis in the 1990’s was that neglecting
core development spending during a major crisis can have great long-term disadvantages.
As we are responding to immediate fiscal pressures, we cannot reduce public spending
on the maintenance of existing infrastructure essential for economic development.
The third policy challenge lies in protecting the vulnerable. The crisis is projected to
increase poverty by around 46 million people in 2009. Inevitably, the crisis will impact
social and human development objectives. This implies new spending needs and may
warrant a re-prioritization of existing public spending. //
