2018翻译资格考试初级口译练习题:对人有礼貌

  英译汉

  Do you agree or disagree: The world is busy and crowded, we should not expect people to be polite to others.

  People today enjoy great material wealth due to hardwork, but some complain that people today are less polite than they used to be. Extremists argue that people do not need to have the conventional social norms, such as saying hello to other people, because those manners are a waste of time. However, I think politeness is important in many aspects of modern life.

  First, in dealing relationships with family and friend, people need to be polite and considerate. Many young people today claim that they are too busy to call their parents and contact their friends. Once, I refused to spend time talking with parents, using the excuse that I had too much work. The consequence was that my mother got angry and hung up the phone. Our relationship was strained, but I soon realized my rudeness and apologized to my mother. My mother forgave me because I showed my respect and concern for her. This situation is also true for friends. Politeness is a bond in relationships with close family members and friends.

  Second, in a working environment, one needs to obey the basic social norms of courtesy for interpersonal communication. Consider a rude colleague who is always short and unpleasant with his coworkers. Not many people are willing to work with him, because he does not show any basic skills or ability to deal with people. On the contrary, a coworker who smiles and acts respectfully towards others will certainly be more popular and easier to work with. Obviously, politeness will never be outdated, no matter how busy the world becomes.

  Third, in the political realm and entertainment industry, celebrities need to show a gracious and friendly manner in order to maintain a positive image. All politicians have a hectic agenda. But when they are giving a speech to the public, politicians need to dress appropriately and speak in a certain way. Patience when answering questions is also a must. Similarly, a famous movie star or a pop singer needs to show a friendly attitude towards any crazy fan. Otherwise, the printing media will make a big deal out of his/her unappreciative manner towards fans.

  In conclusion, though the world today drives people to work like machines, politeness is a prerequisite for people to have a satisfying home life and a fulfilling career.

  参考译文

  你同意还是不同意:世界是忙碌而拥挤的,我们不应该期望人们对别人有礼貌。

  今天的人们因为努力工作而享受着巨大的物质财富,但也有人抱怨今天的人们不像以前那么有礼貌了。极端主义者认为,人们不需要有传统的社会规范,比如向他人打招呼,因为这些行为是在浪费时间。然而,我认为礼貌在现代生活的许多方面都很重要。

  首先,在处理与家人和朋友的关系时,人们需要有礼貌和体贴。今天许多年轻人声称他们太忙了,不能打电话给父母,联系他们的朋友。有一次,我拒绝花时间和父母交谈,借口说我有太多的工作要做。结果是我妈妈生气了,挂了电话。我们的关系很紧张,但我很快意识到我的无礼,并向我母亲道歉。我母亲原谅了我,因为我对她表示了尊敬和关心。这种情况也适用于朋友。礼貌是与亲密的家庭成员和朋友之间的关系。

  其次,在工作环境中,人们需要遵守人际交往的基本社会规范。想想一个粗鲁的同事,他总是和同事们很矮,很不愉快。没有多少人愿意和他一起工作,因为他没有表现出任何基本的技能或能力去对付别人。相反,一个微笑并尊重他人的同事肯定会更受欢迎,也更容易共事。显然,无论世界变得多么繁忙,礼貌都不会过时。

  第三,在政治领域和娱乐产业中,名人需要表现出亲切友好的态度,以保持积极的形象。所有的政客都会议程繁忙。但是,当他们在向公众发表演讲时,政治家们需要适当地着装,并以某种方式说话。回答问题时的耐心也是必须的。同样,一个著名的电影明星或流行歌手需要对任何狂热的粉丝表现出友好的态度。否则,媒体就会大肆宣扬他/她对粉丝的无礼之举。
