Certificate of English Interpretation: Level 3

Now please listen to the instructions about this exam. I’ll give you a brief introduction before
each part of the exam begins and leave you enough time to do the interpreting.

This exam is divided into 3 parts. Each part is divided into a number of segments and at the
start of each segment you’ll hear this tone (TONE). At each pause where you are expected to
start interpreting, you’ll also hear this tone (TONE). You’ll hear each segment only once.

Let’s start with Part 1, the dialogue.

Part 1

Dialogue

This dialogue is about a visit to the Great Wall. Please interpret the English speaker’s remarks
into Chinese and the Chinese speaker’s remarks into English. Let’s begin.

(表示停顿)

[TONE]

David:What’s happening today, Xiao Wang? [TONE] [TONE]

Xiao Wang:今天我们去长城，然后在那里午餐，回来的路上顺便去看看十三陵。[TONE]
[TONE] 你听说过长城吧？来北京，别的地儿不去，长城是一定要去的。[TONE] [TONE] 十
三陵是明朝13个皇帝和皇后的陵墓，15世纪建造的，虽然说和长城相比，名气没那 么大，
看一看也很值得。怎么样，咱们一起去吧。[TONE] [TONE]

David:Oh, that would be great. Thank you very much. You know I’ve heard a lot about the
Great Wall. In fact it is considered as one of the Seven Wonders of the world. You know I saw
the show in TV and it showed how it is the only man-made structure anyone planned on the
earth that you can see from the moon with a naked eye. [TONE] [TONE]

Xiao Wang:我们中国人叫 它“万里长城”，实际上总共全长6000多公里，一开始建造的时候
是2500年前的战国时期。[T ONE] [TONE] 那时候中国没有统一，是分为7国。北方的
几个国家修建起城墙用来防御北方的侵略。[TONE] [TONE] 也就是在公元前221年的时
候，秦始皇统一中国以后他把各段长城连接起来，并把它加 长。根据历史记载差不多有
100万人参加过这个工程，工程总共花了十年的时间。[TONE] [TONE]

David:He’s the First Emperor of China. Was he the one where they found all those terra-cotta
warriors in his tomb? [TONE] [TONE]

Xiao Wang:对呀。秦始皇除了修建长城以外，也作过其他不少事情。 虽然他统治的时间不
长，但是他对中国历史的影响可是不小啊！。[TONE] [TONE]

David:Yes, it’s really amazing when you think about it was over 2000 years ago, there was no
machinery, and they had to do everything with their bare hands. [TONE] [TONE] But they
managed to build a spectacular wall like that and of course those amazing terra-cotta warriors.
You know, I’ve heard people describe those terra-cotta warriors as the Eighth Wonder of the
world, so that means you have two here in China. [TONE] [TONE]

Xiao Wang:今天我们去的那段长城 叫八达岭，是保卫北京的一个战略要地，离北京约75
公里。现在有了高速公路，开车不到两个小时就到 了。[TONE] [TONE] 你要是有什么有
关长城的问题，路上再问，什么时候问我都行。[TONE] [TONE]

David:Thanks a lot for the invite. Thanks for all that historical context. I’m really looking
forward to it. Sure we’ll have a great time. Thanks. [TONE] [TONE]

Part 2
Consecutive interpretation: English to Chinese

In this part you will hear a presentation delivered in English about possible policies that could
be used to stop uncontrolled urbanization in developing countries. Please interpret this
presentation into Chinese. Let’s begin.

[TONE]Thank you. I’d like to take this opportunity to share with you three possible
policies, that I think could be used in developing countries to stop this pattern of uncontrolled
urbanization we’ve been discussing. [TONE] [TONE]

The first policy would be to promote a more equal land distribution. If the land was
distributed more equally, farmers would be more motivated to stay on the land, not going to
the cities. They would be able to work more land, and be able to feed their families more
adequately. [TONE] [TONE] Often the reasons why farmers want to go into the cities is
because they are not able to grow enough food on their farms in order to feed their families
on the one hand and to earn a living on the other. So a more equal land distribution is one
kind of policy that could be used to stem move into the cities. [TONE] [TONE]

The second policy would be to improve the supply of social services in the rural areas,
especially in the areas of health and education. [TONE] [TONE] Country people often move
into the city because they feel that these services are better in the city areas, and if they could
compare the services and notice that perhaps there was not much difference between the two,
then that would be another reason for them not to move. [TONE] [TONE]

A third possible policy would be for the government to give financial assistance to
farmers, especially to the small landowners. [TONE] [TONE] Now obviously the problem of
uncontrolled urbanization and all the consequences of that, which are not good, is a difficult
problem to which there is no easy solution, but I think these three kinds of policies could really
help to reduce the problem，and this is a problem which is felt especially now in developing
countries. [TONE] [TONE]

Part 3
Consecutive Interpretation: Chinese to English

In this part you will hear a welcome speech delivered by the general manager of a Chinese
company while receiving a delegation of foreign guests. Please interpret this presentation into
English. Let’s begin.

[TONE]

现在中国刚刚入世，必将进一步对外开放。这给我们两家公司都带来 了非常好的机会。
因此，我坚信在未来的岁月里我们双方都会取得极大的成功。[TONE] [TONE]
