【第一題】
I am very glad that all of you will soon go to the States to study and work with Americans. We need to eat no matter where. So, as the first lecture in the orientation program, I'd like to talk about what Americans do in a restaurant.
In American restaurants, you are usually served tap water before you order. You may find the bread and butter is free, and if you order coffee, you get free refill.
Soft drinks are sweet, carbonated drinks like Coke. Hard drinks are alcoholics, like whiskey. They are served either on the rocks or straight.
Serving in the restaurant are large. If you can't finish, ask the waiter for a "doggie bag", so that you can enjoy the food later. Remember, you should always have a tip of about 15%on the table when you leave.

【第二題】
Crime control is a pretty complex question, the first step, of course, is deterrence to stop people from committing crime in the first place. That involves the economy. Are there enough jobs for everyone? There should be. And social structure, are there enough support system? And so on. When people are convicted, and put in prison, then the goal should be to have reform programs inside prisons. So they want person comes out, they don’t return to a life of crime. If the education program and drug treatment program have been cut, convicted criminals are not being reformed.
譯文：如何控制犯罪率是一個(gè)十分復(fù)雜的問題。首先，當(dāng)然要防止犯罪行為的發(fā)生。包括從經(jīng)濟(jì)方面來說，是否有足夠的工作提供給所有人?這個(gè)是應(yīng)該要保證的;從社會機(jī)構(gòu)來說，是否有足夠的社會保障體系?等等。而一旦人們犯了罪，被關(guān)進(jìn)監(jiān)獄了，那么監(jiān)獄里就需要有改造計(jì)劃，可以讓這些人出獄之后，不再回到犯罪生涯。如果停掉教育計(jì)劃和有毒的物品治療方案，那就無法對這些犯人就行改造了。
評析：本篇段落翻譯選自2008年春季高口的聽力原文，這就暗示了廣大口譯考生，歷年的聽力原文等材料是平時(shí)訓(xùn)練的重要資源，平時(shí)多積累，考試的時(shí)候方可胸有成竹。
本篇段落關(guān)注的是一個(gè)常見的社會問題——如何控制犯罪率。段落給出了兩點(diǎn)建議，一個(gè)是要防患未然;二是在對犯人實(shí)施改造計(jì)劃。內(nèi)容對考生來說應(yīng)該并不陌生，語速也較為平緩，作為兩段翻譯的的第二段，在難度上是可以接受的。
本段詞匯較為常見。注意deterrence，意是“威懾，制止”，這里考生也可將名詞轉(zhuǎn)譯為動詞，譯為“防止犯罪行為的發(fā)生”;另外，convict這個(gè)單詞意為“判…有罪”，convicted criminals指“囚犯，犯人”。
段落的句子結(jié)構(gòu)較為簡單�？忌恍枳⒁膺@個(gè)長句：When people are convicted, and put into prison, the goal should be to have reform programs inside prisons, so that when the person comes out, they don't return to a life of crime. 這個(gè)句子雖長，但只要理解語義，理清分句之間的邏輯關(guān)系，如when引導(dǎo)的是從句，the goal 后面的內(nèi)容是主句，so that作的是目的狀語。劃分好結(jié)構(gòu)，再按句子本身的語序進(jìn)行翻譯就可以了。
總體而言，本篇英譯中難度適中，主題也不偏頗另類，考生在平時(shí)注意對社會問題的積累，多進(jìn)行真題練習(xí)，把握好時(shí)間和心態(tài)，相信會順利完成翻譯。
