    本次9.13高口的聽譯段落,全部來自于高級聽力教程第三版。在新東方的口譯??贾v評和考前串講時,還有在新東方春季班和暑假班的課堂上,我提醒過大家要看我的博客的那篇名叫《小綠書》的文章,挑出了高級聽力教程里聽力翻譯未曾考過的重點段落,以做后沖刺的聽力材料用。( http://blog.hjenglish.com/lilongshuai/articles/1112868.html ) 這次考試的其中一段是我點出的重點段落中的一段。另一段來自于課堂精講的一篇Spot Dictation(05.3), 并也在聽力教程中出現(xiàn)。08年上過新東方高口聽力課的同學,對這兩段段應(yīng)該印象深刻。
    這兩段一段來自于P347-P348頁第2段,另一段來自于P340. 所以希望大家對高口聽力教程(第三版)要絕對重視。
    1. Perhaps most of us would fly into a rage when hearing that we're similar to a monkey. But in fact, we do share many fundamental characteristics with a monkey. From the point of view of evolution, men originated millions of years ago from the anthropoid, a species commonly referred to as the ape man. Besides, the resemblance of the social organizational pattern between man and monkey is conspicuous. Men are gregarious and generally live in groups, and monkeys also live, play and act together and are led by a monkey king, which has an absolute authority over the other monkeys.
    我們中的大多數(shù)人若聽說自己像猴子,或許會大為惱火。但事實上我們得承認我們同猴子本質(zhì)上有許多共同點。例如,從進化的角度看,人類起源于幾百萬年前的類人猿,同樣現(xiàn)代猴子也與古代的猩猩一脈相承。此外,人和猴子在社會組織模式上的相似之處也是顯而易見的:人類好交際,過著群居生活,而猴子也一起生活、玩樂、行動,由猴王統(tǒng)帥,猴王擁有絕對的權(quán)威。(聽力教程P446)
    2. There are different kinds of social relationships. These include relationships with spouses, close friends, siblings and work colleagues as well as relationships between work subordinates and their superiors. Sociologists have done a series of investigations in different countries in the world. These researchers discovered five universal rules that apply to over a half of all these relationships. One, respect the other's privacy. Two, look the other person in the eye during conversation. Three, do not discuss what has been said in confidence with the other person. Four, do not criticize the other person publically. Five, repay debts, favors or compliments no matter how small.
    社會關(guān)系多種多樣,包括與配偶、密友、兄弟姐妹、同事或上下級關(guān)系。社會學家在世界各國進行過一系列調(diào)查,發(fā)現(xiàn)這些關(guān)系中有五條規(guī)則普遍使用。一,尊重他人隱私;二,說話時注視對方眼睛;三,勿與其他人私下議論別人;四,不要當眾批評他人;五,及時還錢,并回報別人的恩惠、贊許,無論多不起眼。
