经典段落操练：口译教程P100

英译汉

Thank you, Mr President, for your gracious words of welcome. I’m very pleased to get the chance here to introduce you the sports in some English-speaking countries.

    First, let’s have a look at the sports in Britain.

    The British love competitive sports. For the most of the British public, the eight months of the football season are very important. Professional football is always a big business and every town has at least one professional football club. The English Premier League draws global television audiences, and Michael Owen and David Beckham have become worldwide stars.

足球在欧洲历史悠久，它已经成为了文化的一个部分。当然，每个国家都有自己独特的“足球文化”。

英国的足球也许不能代表世界最高水平，但它的足球运行机制无疑是所有欧洲国家中最成功的。英超联赛世界闻名。部分原因应归结于英国人对体育运动的热爱。许多英国球迷喜欢聚在酒吧里，谈论他们热爱的球队和球星，一起观看比赛。也许因为在酒吧里饮酒过度，英国盛产足球流氓，让欧洲各国的警察越来越头痛。

答 案

英译汉：

感谢校长先生热情的欢迎词。非常高兴我能有机会在此向各位介绍一些英语国家的体育运动。

首先，让我们看一看英国的体育运动。

英国人爱好竞技运动。对于多数英国人来说，前后长达8个月的足球季节是很重要的。职业足球是一个大项目，每个城镇至少有一个职业足球俱乐部。英超联赛吸引了全世界的电视观众，迈克尔·欧文和大卫·贝克汉姆成了世界超级明星。

汉译英：

In Europe, soccer has so long a history that it has become part of the culture. But each European country has its own “football culture”.

    British football is not necessarily the best in the world, but its football marketing is no doubt the most successful of all European countries. The English Premier League is known throughout the world. Part of the reason comes from Briton’s love of the sport. Many British football fans enjoy gathering in pubs to talk about their favourite teams and players and to watch games together. Partly due to the excessive drinking in the pubs, Britain also produces some infamous hooligans, who have become increasing headaches for police officers in Europe.
