Some tips for conference address 大会讲话是最能体现套路句型威力的一部分，一旦熟记背诵了大量句型，将给大家的翻译工作带来很大的优势，也能极高地提高口译工作者的工作效率。反过来说，如果这个部分完全不熟悉句型套路，翻船也几乎是一定的了。 1、讲话类可以是很口语的句子。 比如：“今天我很高兴在这里跟大家谈谈求职面试的话题”。听到这句话后，立刻作出判断——这是非正式类句型，不用大词，力求口语化。所以以下的句型是要脱口而出的， “I’m glad to talk to all of you about job interviews. ”这个句型简单，所以输出一定要十分流畅，毫不犹豫。 2、讲话类也可以很正式。 比如：“今天我很高兴在这里就中国在知识产权保护领域所做出的努力，向大会发表讲话。”我们立刻判断出几点：A交往B较为正式C需要比较唬人的句型。所以立刻反应出这样一句：“ Today I’m honored and privileged to take this opportunity to address the conference on the topic of China’s efforts in protecting Intelligent Property Rights. ” 在这个句型里，honored and privileged 是套话，不仅要背诵，还要念得好听到位。To take this opportunity 是原句中没有的一层意思，建议考生炫一下，展示自己曾经背过，心中有料。Address的用法特别需要强调，后面往往跟conference，audience 等的表示场合的集合名词，不大跟表示个人的短语，如 distinguished guests here 等，更不能跟everybody here，you guys 等不严肃的称谓，原因显而易见。 3、“值此a-XXXX(往往为金风送爽，春暖花开，秋高气爽等四字格)之际，我谨代表b-XXX,并以我个人的名义，向各位远道/从百忙中拨冗前来参加今天的c-XXXX的各位嘉宾们，表达我的d-XXX。” 真实的大会讲话未见得会这么复杂，但是我们还是要做好准备。除了整句要背，而且是背到不假思索、滚瓜烂熟，还要会关注其中的变量（variables），即XXX的部分，要会灵活替换。我们一个一个的看看： a.这里的XXXX往往是四字格，这样的四字格有一个很聪明的处理办法——把它们作为时间状语放在句子的最后，而不是在整句的开头去拼命想要翻一个文采惊人的版本。当其他的句子成分都已经成功解决之后，这个时间状语只要点到跟季节有关的词，如Spring, Autumn之类的，过关已经足够，如果能再加上 when the agreeable breezes of the beautiful Autumn bring us another harvest season 等等和原文不是那么贴近，但是比较像样的句子，已经是锦上添花了。 b. 往往会出现某要人的名字及头衔，如“公司总经理张先生”等。这里只要注意“先姓名，后头衔”的原则，就不会有问题了。比如上面的例子，最好口译为“Mr. Zhang, the general manager of our company”。我们要尽量避免汉语的语序，如：“the general manger of our company, Mr. Zhang”。当然，如果用了后面的这个版本，虽然不是很地道，但是过关还是可以的。 c. 往往有某活动，某会议这样的词汇。口译中常用的词汇当然少不了。除了meeting, conference 这些常见的词汇外，还要会表达Seminar（ 研讨会）， Symposium( 学术报告会) ，forum( 论坛)， gathering/ evening(晚会)等等。各种类型的会议名称大家一定也要成竹在胸。 d. 大家要多准备几个“表达”的语汇。最常见的当然是 to extend my heartfelt thanks/ my deepest appreciations，其次我们可以说to extend my greetings(表达问候)，to extend my warmest welcome(表达热烈的欢迎)，to extend my sincere/ earnest congratulations(表达衷心祝贺)等，这些都是口译考试中常常出现的套语。 练习： 1.联合国前秘书长加利博士第9届大连国际服装节开幕式致辞 各位贵宾 大连市先生 各位大连市的领导 亲爱的朋友们： 中国作为世界上最强大的国家之一，在谋求和平、发展与公正的道路上起着重要的作用。 中国作为世界上最古老文明的国度之一，有能力弘扬她灿烂的文化并继承她宝贵的民族遗产。 中国应当为有大连而感到骄傲，因为大连是中国改革开放成功的一个典范。 我一踏上大连的土地，就受到了大连儿童的热烈欢迎。他们是我们的未来，也是世界的未来。他们将中国的改革开放不断推向前进。 我衷心祝愿第9届大连国际服装节成功。同时，我们也翘首以待美丽的大连1999年建市100周年的辉煌庆典。 谢谢大家。 Your Excellencies, The Mayor of Dalian, The members of the City Council, Dear friends: China, one of the great powers among the nations, has the political will to be a major player driving for peace, development and justice. China, one of the oldest civilizations of the world, has the capacity to preserve the culture diversity and the heritage of the family of nations. China must be proud of Dalian, which is the symbol of the success of the economic reform. I was received upon my arrival by the children of Dalian. They are the future and the future leader of tomorrow. They will carry over the momentum which has been achieved by the economic reform and openness of China. I wish the Mayor of Dalian and the people of Dalian great success of this wonderful festival celebrating the 9th anniversary and we all look forward to the celebration of the hundred years of the founding of this great city in 1999. Thank you. 2.It is a real pleasure to be here to open the third meeting of our forum and to be welcoming such a distinguished and influential group of people from both our countries, many of whom are now old friends. The forum aims to represent the strength of the relationship between our two countries outside the political relationship and looking round today it is clear that the relationship is very strong indeed. 我很高兴地宣布我们论坛的第三次会议正式开幕， 并在这里欢迎来自我们两国高层的、具有影响力的代表们。我们中的很多人都已经是老朋友了。论坛是为了体现我们两国之间关系的力量——在政治关系之外的力量。环视今日会场，显然，我们的关系非常坚固。 It is a sign for me that the forum goes from strength to strength and I believe it is playing a key role in the relations between our two countries as confirmed by the Prime Minister in our call on him this morning. This year, we’ve taken the theme “The Challenge of Globalization” for our meetings and discussions. This theme has a particular resonance for me. 这是一个迹象，表明我们的论坛越来越强大。我相信，论坛在我们两国关系中扮演着一个关键角色。今早，首相在我们拜访他时就确认了这一点。今年，我们选择的主题是“全球化的挑战”，我们将就此进行会谈和讨论。对于这个主题，我尤有感触。 3. 奥巴马讲话
