　　2010年上海春季中级口译真题点评
　　世博会志愿者官方定制外语培训讲义

　　5月的二阶段考试近在眼前，复习之余做点实战练习，结合当下实事，今天做一片CRI的新闻报道，常和学友分享CRI的很多报道都是考委会所会关注的材料来源。EXPO乃是目前的“一线热点话题”。

　　The 2010 World Expo's China Pavillion （中国馆）was completed earlier this year after two years of construction.

　　In today's On the Road（CRI的品牌节目）, Li Ningjing will take you for a stroll in the China Pavilion and introduce you to some of the main attractions（景点，这里根据背景处理成“夺人眼球的展品”） there during the Shanghai Expo that will begin next month.

　　中国馆介绍，这段必须认真完成，笔记+精听----口译！亲自D.I.Y

　　The China Pavilion is located on the waterfront （河边，滨水区）along the Huangpu River between the Nanpu and Lupu bridges in downtown Shanghai. It is shaped like a crown（形似皇冠） and was built in a traditional Chinese architectural style.

　　该段的数字和单位是考查重点，切勿错译，注意评分标准。

　　Its main structure includes a six-layer, 30-meter-high roof made of traditional wooden brackets(托架). The roof is dominated by the color red(屋顶的主色调为红色), symbolizing good luck and auspiciousness（吉祥） in Chinese culture（在中国文化中象征着好运和吉祥）.

　　The China Pavilion is the size of two and a half soccer fields（有两个半足球场那么大）. Below the main structure, there is a 45,000-square-meter joint pavillion （联合馆） featuring displays from China's regions, provinces and cities（联合馆的最大特色就是介绍来自中国各地区和省市的展品， 注意feature一词的译法，中译英时也可借鉴）.

　　Ma Liang, an Assistant Supervisor of the Shanghai Expo Construction Office, says many minor interior decorations （次要的内部装修）inside the pavilion feature traditional calligraphy（中国书法）.

　　"The roof is painted red and consists of 56 girders（大梁）, symbolizing all of China's 56 enthnic groups. Each end of every girder is decorated with words in an old form. of Chinese calligraphy. Those in our sight are facing the east and south, so we can see ‘east' or ‘south' on them."

　　It can take a visitor at least 40 minutes to see the entire pavilion. You can start by watching an eight-minute movie that displays China's urban development over the past three decades. The movie will be shown in a 600-seat theater which is finely decorated （装修考究的）and equipped with multimedia and cutting-edge （在科技话题里常考的词）technologies. （剧场里配有多媒体和其他尖端技术）

　　展品介绍：

　　Another highlight（亮点） of the China Pavilion is a massive projection （巨幅投影）of the ancient painting "Along the River during Qingming Festival"（清明上河图）. One of the masterpieces of ancient Chinese painting, it represents the highest artistic achievement （中国绘画艺术的最高成就）in ancient Chinese painting and is considered a national treasure（国宝）.

　　Together with the painting, a series of other valuable cultural relics （文化古物） will also be displayed, showcasing the splendor of Chinese culture(展示璀璨的中华文化). All the exhibits have arrived in Shanghai and will be ready for visitors to see when the Expo starts on May 1st.

　　Qian Zhiguang is a top management official of the China Pavilion.

　　"The exhibits are designed to showcase the most brilliant part of Chinese civilization. They are a combination of ancient Chinese culture and modern technology and the latest developments."

　　To continue the trip through the China Pavilion, a cable car （缆车）takes visitors for a 10-minute ride passing displays of modern street scenes that highlight（突出,做名词和动词时的不同译法） the progress of city-country integration （城市和农村的融合）and urbanization in China.

　　Other modern development concepts are also featured in the pavilion, including energy conservation, emissions reduction and low-carbon lifestyles. （节能，减少排放，低碳生活方式）

　　Management official Qian Zhiguang explains.

　　"In this part of the exhibition, we try to remind people about the serious environmental problems in China caused by industrialization as well as various means to tackle the problems such as the utilization of renewable energy sources （对可再生能源的利用）such as wind, solar and biomass energy（生物能）."

　　Another part of the exhibition features scenes of the country's fantastic rivers and lakes and highlights water-related issues around the globe indicating the importance of creating harmony between man and nature.

　　游客人数：

　　During the Shanghai Expo, there will be some 400 thousand to 500 thousand visitors daily at the China Pavilion, far beyond its designed capacity （远超于场馆的设计容量）of 50,000 people. To ensure the safety of visitors, an online reservation service will help restrict and manage the number of guests at the pavilion.

　　Hong Hao is President of the Shanghai Expo Management Bureau.

　　"Reservation services are now underway for the China Pavilion, the themed pavilions, some performance shows and other hot attractions during the Expo. Reservation services from other foreign participants are always welcome."

　　Another 80 reservation machines will be set up in 23 locations during the event to better manage the flow of visitors. （游客人流）

　　Hong says the system will also prevent guests from having to wait in long lines to enter the China Pavilion.

　　There are stairs leading to the top of the 50-meter-high China Pavilion where visitors can enjoy a perfect panoramic view （全景）of the entire Expo Park and Huangpu River.

　　The 160,000-square-meter pavilion will be converted into （改建成）a museum for Chinese history and culture after the Expo closes at the end of October.
