d. this method is very effective and easy to insist on--interpreting chinese-english novels or books. first we read the chinese parts and then try to interpret them into english and then compare our interpretation with the original versions in the novels or books so that we can find out the mistakes, shortcomings and progresses in our interpretation.
这种方法非常有效且很容易坚持---口译汉英对照(或英汉对照)的小说或其它读物.首先我们先读汉语部分,然后逐句直接口译成英文,完成一小段后,去看书上的对应英文部分并与我们的口译进行比较,我们马上可以发现我们口译的错误,缺点和进步.
请注意: 开始要选择较简单的读物 .
这样作的好处:
1. 自己就可以练习口语,想练多久,就练多久.
2. 始终有一位高级教师指出您的不足和错误---英文原文.
3. 题材范围极广,可以突破我们自己的思维禁锢,比如我们总是喜欢谈论我们自己熟悉的话题,所以我们总是在练习相同的语言,进步当然就缓慢了.
4. 选择小说,幽默故事或好的短文阅读,使我们有足够的兴趣坚持下去.
5. 有一些我们在直接学习英语课文时被我们熟视无睹的地道的英语用法会被此法发掘出来.
6. 对所学知识和所犯错误印象深刻.这等于我们一直在作汉译英练习,很多英文译文是我们费尽心思憋出来的,所以印象相当深刻.比直接学习英文课文印象要深的多.
e. interpreting what you hear---changing roles: three people make a group: one speaks chinese, one speaks english acting as the foreigner, one acts as interpreter. then change roles. this is a good interpreting training method and is good for studying from one another. in addition, it may improve the responding ability and speed of students. the advanced stage of this method is simultaneous interpretation.
听译法-角色互换: 三人一组,模拟翻译实战.一人将汉语,一人将英语,扮演老外,一人作翻译.练习一段时间后互换角色.这是一种非常好的翻译训练方法,也是很好的相互学习,取长补短的方法.而且可大大提高反应速度和能力.此法的高级阶段为同声传译,我们可以在听广播或看电视或开会时,把所听内容口译英文.
f. oral composition and 3-minute training method: this method is suitable for intense training. making an oral composition about a certain topic for one minute the first time and record the composition on tape at the same time. then listen to the composition and find out the room for improvement. then make the same composition for two minutes for the second time and a
