第八单元 数字口译(二)
第一部分 技能总述
在商务活动中,对数字的准确口译是十分重要的,译错一个数字、一个计量单位或者货币单位,都可能导致巨大而又无法挽回的损失。因此,译员在口译数字的时候要特别小心,注意口译中数字代表的具体内容,以及和数字联系在一起的,表示长度、面积、货币等的单位。在无文本数字口译练习之后,本单元将进行数字、计量单位、货币单位相结合的口译技巧练习。
1. 长度单位的翻译
以下是通常使用的长度单位表达:
2. 重量单位的翻译
以下是通常使用的重量单位表达:
3. 面积、体积、容量单位的翻译
以下是通常使用的面积、体积、容量单位表达:
4. 货币单位的翻译
以下是通常使用的货币单位的表达
第二部分 技巧解析
首先我们看一下例句。九百六十万平方公里的土地上有着勤劳、勇敢的十三亿中国人民。对这句话的口译时候,首先九百六十万为9.6个百万,转换英语是9.6 million;然后,平方公里是square kilometer,十三亿为1.3个十亿,转换英语是1.3 billion。这句话可以翻译成:1.3 billion diligent and brave Chinese people live on the land of 9.6 million square kilometer. 再如,这家公司年7.5亿英镑的收入足以购买这块35万平方米的土地。首先,需要确定7.5亿为750 million,货币单位英镑是pound,为可数名词,35万为350个千,即350 thousand,平方米为square meter,所以这句话可以翻译成:This company’s 750 million annual income is enough to buy this 350 thousand square meters land.
从上述例子可以看出在口译这些数字及单位的时候,一要注意口译数字的准确性,对单纯数字的口译要充分运用上一章中提到的数字口译的技巧,多加练习,达到熟能生巧;二要注意单位口译的准确性,首先要熟悉单位代表的含义,如长度、容量、重量、货币等。其次要区分易混的单位,如英尺/英寸(foot/inch),人民币/日元(RMB/yen),分米/毫米(decimeter/millimeter)等,然后再把单位和单纯的数字结合起来练习。口译中的单位名称也同数字一样,要多加练习,并将常见的单位熟记于心,做到随用随取。

管理层讨论与分析
报告期前后的市场心态逆转
进入2005年后,房地产市场价格保持上涨势头。据国家发展改革委、国家统计局的调查,一季度35个大中城市房屋销售价格比去年同期上涨9.8%,其中商品住宅销售价格上涨10.5%。土地交易价格比去年同期上涨7.8%,其中住宅用地价格上涨9.6%。
4.27日,国务院常务会议分析房地产市场形势,并提出八条措施以加强引导和调控。5月9日,国务院办公厅转发中央七部委《关于做好稳定住房价格工作的意见》。此文件出台后,市场持币待购之意转浓,上海、杭州、北京、厦门等城市5月日均成交量均较4月下降超过20%。而上海更为明显,五、六两月上海商品住宅成交量均在80万平米左右,仅为2004年月均成交量270万平米的30%。
公司应对与业务回顾
与2004年同期相比,报告期内公司业绩取得了相当明显的进步。
期内,公司售出面积91.8万平方米,同比增长63.3%;销售收入58.2亿元,增长102.8%。公司实现结算面积59.3万平方米,同比增长42.5%;结算收入42.5亿元,增长78.8%。报告期内,公司营业收入43.3亿元,同比增长75.6%;净利润7.95亿元,增长152.6%。其中,上海公司共结算面积16.43万平方米,主要来自于上海假日风景项目和上海兰乔圣菲项目;深圳公司共结算9.41万平方米,主要来自万科城项目、东海岸项目和十七英里项目;在其他城市,南昌四季花城、沈阳四季花城、广州四季花城、天津水晶城等项目都取得了良好的销售成绩,期内分别售出5.6万平方米、4.7万平方米、5.3万平方米、3.5万平方米。

解析
1. 自2005年3月24日开始,公司可转换公司债券“万科转2”可以转换为公司A股流通股。翻译为:Since 24 March 2005,“Vanke Convertible Bonds 2” can be converted into the Company’s tradable A shares. 其中可转换债券为经济类专有名词,可以翻译成convertible bond,bond 指债券的意思;流通股的含义是可以交易的股票,故可以翻译成tradable shares. 一些常用的股票术语包括:
bull market 牛市 bear market 熊市
blue-chip stocks 蓝筹股 capitalization 资本化
dividend 红利 dumping 抛售
index 指数 fundamental analysis 基本面分析
liquidation 清盘,清算 asset reorganization 资产重组
stockholder 持股人 total volume 总成交量
2. 其中6月28日前新增的352 603股获得10股转增5股。翻译为:352 603 new shares were shares converted before 28 June 2005 and were entitled to the transfer of five shares from capital surplus reserve for every 10 existing shares held. 这里的“股”是股票单位,翻译为share;10股转增5股为上市公司行为,翻译为:transfer of five shares from capital surplus reserve for every 10 existing shares held. 这篇资料在出现大量数字信息的同时,也出现了表示面积的单位如:平方米(square meter),表示股票数量的单位如:股(share)等计量单位。在口译练习时候要熟练掌握这些表示计量单位的词汇,并认真区分如:英里(mile)/公里(kilometer),平方米(square meter)/英亩(acre)这些易混淆的计量单位。
3. 公司实施公积金转增股本,翻译为:the transfer of capital surplus reserve to share capital,公积金为capital surplus reserve;转增为转化,即transfer;股本为share capital,股票资本。
4. 报告期前后的市场心态逆转,翻译为:Changing market psychology before and after the reporting period. 前后属于介词并列使用:before and after;市场心态为market psychology,心态即心理;逆转直接用change.
5. 据国家发展和改革委员会、国家统计局的调查,一季度35个大中城市房屋销售价格比去年同期上涨9.8%.翻译为:Pursuant to the survey conducted by the National Development and Reform Commission and National Bureau of Statistics of China,the property selling prices of 35 medium and large cities were 9.8%。其中国家发展和改革委员会是National Development and Reform Commission,国家统计局为National Bureau of Statistics of China,对于一些常见的政府部门、机构的名称要熟悉,口译中常见的要随取随用。比如:
外交部 Ministry of Foreign Affairs
财政部 Ministry of Finance
国家税务总局 State Administration of Taxation
国家统计局 State Statistics Bureau
人力资源和社会保障部 Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security
中国人民银行 People’s Bank of China
审计署 National Audit Office of the P.R.C.
6. 4月27日,国务院常务会议分析房地产市场形势,并提出八条措施以加强引导和调控。翻译为:On 27 April,the State Council Executive Meeting analyzed the property market trend and proposed eight measures with an aim to intensify guidance and control over the market. 其中常务会议也是常见词汇,翻译为executive meeting,提出用propose,引导和调控分别是guidance 和 control.
7. 此文件出台后,市场持币待购之意转浓……翻译为:with the market having a wait-and-see attitude after the promulgation of this notice. 出台为公布之意,所以翻译成promulgation,持币待购并没有之间翻译成持有货币,等待时机购买,而是更为简洁、意思也表达顺畅的“等等看”即wait-and-see.
8. 5、6两月上海商品住宅成交量均在80万平米左右,仅为2004年月均成交量270万平米的30%。翻译为:The monthly turnover of commodity residential property there in May and June averaged around 800 000 square meters (“sq m”),which was only 30% of the average monthly turnover of 2.7 million sq m in 2004. 这里商品住宅是commodity residential property,property 不仅有财产的意思,还特指房产;均在……左右,可以用词组average around来表示。
9. 与2004年同期相比,报告期内公司业绩取得了相当明显的进步。翻译为:The company’s performance in the period under review showed a significant progress from the same period in 2004. 这里报告期为the period under review,review比report 更加贴切;公司业绩指的就是公司表现,用performance来表示;
10. 实现结算面积59.3万平方米,同比增长42.5%。翻译为:a 42.5% increase in booked area to 593 400 sq m. 其中,结算面积为booked area,关于房地产的一些常用词还包括:
建筑面积 floor area
土地使用证 land use certificate
契约文书 title document
容积率 plot ratio; floor area rate
增值 appreciation
国有土地 state-owned land

1. 国家体育场位于北京奥林匹克公园中心区南部,为2008年第29届奥林匹克运动会的主体育场。工程总占地面积21公顷,建筑面积258 000平方米。场内观众坐席约为91 000个,其中临时坐席约11 000个。奥运会、残奥会开闭幕式、田径比赛及足球比赛决赛在这里举行。奥运会后这里成为文化体育、健身购物、餐饮娱乐、旅游展览等综合性的大型场所,并成为具有地标性的体育建筑和奥运遗产。
国家体育场工程为特级体育建筑,主体结构设计使用年限100年,耐火等级为一级,抗震设防烈度8度,地下工程防水等级1级。工程主体建筑呈空间马鞍椭圆形,南北长333米、东西宽298米,高68米。主体钢结构形成整体的巨型空间马鞍形钢桁架编织式“鸟巢”结构。混凝土看台分为上、中、下三层,看台混凝土结构为地下一层,地上七层的钢筋混凝土框架-剪力墙结构体系。钢结构与混凝土看台上部完全脱开,互不相连,形式上呈相互围合,基础则坐在一个相连的基础底板上。国家体育场屋顶钢结构上覆盖了双层膜结构,即固定于钢结构上弦之间的透明的上层 ETFE 膜和固定于钢结构下弦之下及内环侧壁的半透明的下层 PTFE声学吊顶。
在设计与施工方面存在很多特点及难点:
1. 构件体型大,单体重量重
作为屋盖结构的主要承重构件,桁架柱最大断面达25米×20米,高度达68米,单榀最重达500吨。而主桁架高度12米,双榀贯通最大跨度145.577+112.788米,不
贯通桁架最大跨度102.391米,桁架柱与主桁架体型大、单体重量重。
2. 节点复杂
由于本工程中的构件均为箱型断面杆件,所以,无论是主结构之间,还是主次结构之间,都存在多根杆件空间汇交现象。加之次结构复杂多变、规律性少,造成主结构的节点构造相当复杂,节点类型多样,制作、安装精度要求高。
3. 工期紧
本工程量大,但安装工期相当短,工程于2003年12月24日开工,预计于2007年底前完工,2008年3月底竣工。工期紧,与土建施工交叉作业,平面场地紧张。
4. 冬雨季施工
本工程主结构吊装时间需跨越冬季和春节,所以存在冬雨季施工,施工难度较大。

4. China has injected enormous sums of money into Internet infrastructure construction. From 1997 to 2009 a total of 4.3 trillion yuan was invested in this regard,building a nationwide optical communication network with a total length of 8.267 million km. Of that,840 000 km was long-distance optical cables. By the end of 2009 Chinese basic telecommunications companies had 136 million broadband Internet access ports,and international outlet bandwidth was 866 367 Gbps,with seven land-submarine cables and 20 land cables,that had a combined capacity exceeding 1 600 Gb. That ensured Internet access to 99.3% of Chinese towns and 91.5% of villages,and broadband to 96.0% of the towns. In January 2009 the government began to issue third-generation (3G) licenses to mobile service suppliers. Today,3G network covers almost the whole country. Along with the swift expansion of the mobile Internet,more people will benefit from this technical advance. The construction and improvement of the Internet infrastructure has beefed up the spread and application of the Internet. By the end of 2009 the number of Chinese netizens had reached 384 million,618 times that of 1997 and an annual increase of 31.95 million users. In addition,the Internet had reached 28.9% of the total population,higher than the world average. At the same time,there were 3.23 million websites running in China,which was 2 152 times that of 1997. The number of IPv 4 addresses approached 230 million,making China the second-largest owner in the world. Of all the netizens,346 million used broadband and 233 million used mobile phones to access the Internet. They had moved on from dialing the access numbers to broadband and mobile phones. These statistics make China among the top of the developing countries in developing and popularizing the Internet.
However,Internet development and application in China is imbalanced regionally,and between urban and rural areas. Hindered by different levels of economic development,education and informationization progress,the Internet has been developing more rapidly in the eastern than in the western parts of the country,and has a higher popularization rate in cities than in the countryside. By the end of 2009 it had reached 40% of the population in eastern China but only 21.5% in western China; and urban Internet users made up 72.2% of the national total,leaving the other 27.8% in rural areas. China still needs to make arduous efforts to bridge the “digital gap” between different regions and between the urban and rural areas.

Management Discussion and Analysis
Changing market psychology before and after the reporting period
Property market price continued to maintain an upward trend in 2005.Pursuant to the survey conducted by the National Development and Reform Commission and National Bureau of Statistics of China,the property selling prices of 35 medium and large cities were 9.8% higher in the first quarter when compared with that of the same period of the previous year. The selling price of commodity residential property surged by 10.5%,land transaction price increased by 7.8%,while the price of land used for residential development rose by 9.6% when compared with those of the same period last year.
On 27 April,the State Council Executive Meeting analyzed the property market trend and proposed eight measures with an aim to intensify guidance and control over the market. On 9 May,the General Office of the State Council forwarded the “Opinions on Carrying Out the Work of Stabilizing Housing Prices” jointly promulgated by seven ministries and central government agencies. With the market having a wait-and-see attitude after the promulgation of this notice,cities like Shanghai,Hangzhou,Beijing and Xiamen all reported over 20% drop in the average daily turnover in May when compared with that in April. This phenomenon was particularly obvious in Shanghai. The monthly turnover of commodity residential property there in May and June averaged around 800 000 square meters (sq m),which was only 30% of the average monthly turnover of 2.7 million sq m in 2004.
Company’s Responses and Business Review
The company’s performance in the period under review showed a significant progress from the same period in 2004.

第五部分 练习段落拓展
1. Located at the southern part of the Olympic Green in Beijing,the National Stadium is the main stadium of the 29th Olympiad in 2008. Occupying an area of 21 hectares,it has a floor space of 258 000 square meters. Its seating capacity amounts to 91 000,including 11 000 temporary seats.
The venue will host the opening and closing ceremonies of the Beijing Olympic Games and Paralympic Games,the track and field competitions,and the football finals. After the Olympics,the stadium will become a large-scale sports and entertainment facility for the residents of Beijing—an architectural landmark and Olympic legacy.
The main body of the National Stadium has a design life of 100 years. Its fire resistance capability is first-rate,and it can withstand an eight-magnitude earthquake. The water-resistance capability of its underground project is also first-rate.
The main body of the National Stadium is a colossal saddle-shaped elliptic steel structure weighing 42 000 tons. It is 333 meters long from north to south,298 meters wide from east to west,and 68 meters tall.
The main body’s elements support each other and converge into a grid formation,just like a bird’s nest with interlocking branches and twigs. Being a seven-story shear wall system,the stadium’s stand has a concrete framework. The upper part of the stand and the stadium’s steel structure are separated from each other,but both are based on a joint footing. The roof of the National Stadium is covered by a double-layer membrane structure,with a transparent ETFE membrane fixed on the upper part of the roofing structure and a translucent PTFE membrane fixed on its lower part. A PTFE acoustic ceiling is attached to the side walls of the inner ring.
The National Stadium is a complex structure,posing great difficulties for its designers and constructors.
1. Large and heavy steel part
The fracture surface of the largest truss column—the major load-bearing component of the roof structure—measures 25 m×20 m,with a height of 68 m. The maximum weight of a single column is 500 tons. The main truss is 12m tall. The maximum span between and through the two columns amounts to 145.577+112.788 m,and the maximum span between the two trusses stands at 102.391 m. Each truss column is of great bulk and weight,and so are the main trusses.
2. Complex nodal joints
Because the structural elements in the project are box-typed,many elements intersect spatially among the steel parts. Besides,the complex nature of secondary structures has resulted in the diversity of nodal joints of the main structures,requiring accurate and sophisticated manufacturing and installation.
3. Tight schedule
In addition to the huge workload,the allotted construction period is short. Having started on December 24,2003,the project is expected to be completed by the end of 2007,with the inauguration time scheduled for March 2008. Therefore many operations have to be conducted on a limited terrain,causing a very tense situation.
4. The hoisting work extended across the winter and spring,so the workers have had to defy both rainy and cold conditions in the winter to continue their work.
2. In 2008,national revenue reached 6.131 69 trillion yuan,an increase of 999.512 billion yuan or 19.5% over 2007 (both here and below),equivalent to 104.8% of the target. This consists of 3.267 199 trillion yuan collected by the central government and 2.864 491 trillion yuan collected by local governments. Added to the 110 billion yuan taken from the central budget stabilization fund,total revenue came to 6.241 69 trillion yuan. National expenditures amounted to 6.242 703 trillion yuan,an increase of 1.264 568 trillion yuan or 25.4%,equivalent to 101.7% of the target. This figure consists of 1.337 431 trillion yuan used by the central government and 4.905 272 trillion yuan used by local governments. Added to the 19.2 billion yuan set aside for the central budget stabilization fund,total expenditures amounted to 6.261 903 trillion yuan.
Revenue in the central budget totaled 3.361 192 trillion yuan,an increase of 499.997 billion yuan or 17.5%,equivalent to 103.3%of the target. This consists of 3.267 199 trillion yuan directly collected by the central government and 93.993 billion yuan turned over by local governments. Added to the 110 billion yuan from the central budget stabilization fund,total revenue came to 3.471 192 trillion yuan. Expenditures in the central budget totaled 3.631 992 trillion yuan,an increase of 673.997 billion yuan or 22.8%,equivalent to 102.5% of the target. This figure consists of 1.337 431 trillion yuan used by the central government and 2.294 561 trillion yuan in tax rebates and transfer payments to local governments. A total of 19.2 billion yuan was set aside for the central budget stabilization fund. Total expenditures thus added up to 3.651 192 trillion yuan. Expenditures exceeded revenue,leaving a deficit of 180 billion yuan,which was within the target approved at the First Session of the Eleventh NPC. The outstanding balance of government bonds in the central budget at the end of 2008 totaled 5.327 076 trillion yuan,which was under the set limit of 5.518 585 trillion yuan.
The central government turned over 2.294 561 trillion yuan in tax rebates and transfer payments to local governments in 2008,an increase of 480.772 billion yuan or 26.5%,representing 106.1% of the target. This total consists of 428.219 billion yuan in tax rebates,up 3.9%,869.649 billion yuan in fiscal transfer payments including general transfer payments,a 22% increase,and 996.693 billion yuan in special transfer payments,a 44.6% increase. The large increase in this last item was mainly due to the huge increase in expenditures required to subsidize key local programs such as education and medical and health care. Tax rebates and transfer payments turned over to local governments became part of the revenue of local governments,which made arrangements for their utilization. Transfer payments from the central government accounted for an average of 38% of local government spending nationwide and 54.4% in the central and western regions.
Revenue of local governments totaled 5.159 052 trillion yuan,an increase of 988.001 billion yuan or 23.7%,equivalent to 106.4% of the target. This consists of 2.864 491 trillion yuan collected by local governments and 2.294 561 trillion yuan in tax rebates and transfer payments from the central government. Local government expenditures totaled 4.999 265 trillion yuan,an increase of 1.079 057 trillion yuan or 27.5%,equivalent to 103.1% of the target. This total consists of 4.905 272 trillion yuan spent by local governments and 93.993 billion yuan turned over to the central government. Revenue exceeded expenditures,leaving a surplus of 159.787 billion yuan,which mainly came from the surplus revenue in the central and local budgets that was not spent and will be rolled over into local budgets this year.
