经典段落操练：口译教程P151

英译汉

Thank you so much. But it’s really unnecessary for you to take me there. I can always ask the way and show people the address. I’ve found the Chinese people most friendly and most willing to help. With good feelings on both sides we can easily make ourselves understood.

    You know I just can’t understand those travelers who stay in five-star hotels and put themselves in the hands of travel agents. Hotels are the same all over the world and you don’t see anything of the real China. You are surrounded by foreigners and don’t get a chance to mix with the Chinese people.

答 案

英译汉：

太感谢你了。不过你真的不必要带我去哪里。我可以问路，可以把地址给别人看。我发现中国人非常友好，很乐于助人。只要双方都怀着有好的感情，我们可以很容易地彼此理解。

你知道，我真不理解那些住五星级饭店，把自己交给旅行社的游客。饭店在世界各地都是一样的，但你无法了解真实的中国。你周围都是外国人，就没有机会和中国人交往。
