章节摘录
作为上海市紧缺人才培训项目之一,英语中、高级口译资格证书考试,从1995年起至今已操作了整整10年,从刚开始每次报名考试仅数百人,到现在参考者人数已逾4万,已取得很高的社会认可度。目前立足上海,辐射周边地区,如江苏、浙江两省的南京、杭州、宁波、苏州,远及武汉、深圳、南昌、青岛等地。上海以外地区的考生人数最近几次考试均已超过万名。 英语高级口译资格证书考试根据口译特点,以测试口译水平为主要目标,从听、说、读、译(笔译和口译)四个方面对考生的综合语言应用能力进行全面测试。整项考试分笔试和口试两个阶段。只有先通过笔试,考生才有资格参加口试,并最终获得资格证书。所以,笔试是整项考试的基础,是口试的铺垫,可谓十分重要。笔试包括6个部分:听力(1)、(2),阅读(1)、(2),英译汉,汉译英。口试包括2个部分:口语和口译。笔试总分300分(6个部分,每部分均为50分),合格为180分,换言之,考生在笔试中必须最少获得180分才算通过。笔试总考试时间180分钟,其中听力部分60分钟,阅读部分60分钟,英译汉和汉译英各30分钟。 英语高级口译资格证书考试笔试听力有2个部分(Section 1和Section 4)。Section 1包括昕写(Spot Dictation)和听力理解(Listening Comprehension)。Section 4包括笔记(Note-taking and Gap-filling)和听译(Listening and Translation)。在这4种题型中,除听力理解部分采用客观性试题形式(多项选择题)外,听写、笔记和听译均属主观性试题,尤其是听译题,是根据口译考试特点设计的全新题型,国内其他任何英语听力测试都还没有。
前言
处于新世纪的中国,改革开放不断深化和发展,对外交流日趋密切和频繁。作为国际大都市的上海与世界各国在经济、金融、贸易、文化、教育等领域的合作越来越多,对外语人才,特别是精通英语、并能熟练进行英汉互译的英语人才的需求也越来越大。为了适应这一需求,早在1995年,上海市便启动了“上海英语高级口译资格证书考试”项目。该项目由上海市委组织部、市人事局、市教育委员会和市成人教育委员会组织和确认,由上海市高校浦东继续教育中心具体负责,为“九十年代上海紧缺人才培训工程”项目之一。十余年来该项目成果斐然:考试规模不断扩大,考生人数、生源范围等不断发展;相关教程、培训等的普及性、社会认可度等不断增强。应该说,这个项目为培养更多高素质、高层次的英语口译工作者,为推动上海经济和文化的发展做出了巨大贡献。 一个合格的口译工作者应具备扎实的语言功底,在听、说、读、写、译等方面都达到较高的水平。在该项目进行过程中,英语口译资格证书教材编委会认真规划、精心编写了《高级翻译教程》、《高级听力教程》、《高级口语教程》、《高级口译教程》和《高级阅读教程》,分别供笔译、听力、口语、口译和阅读五门课程教学使用。这套教程因其目的明确、题材广泛、内容丰富、体例科学、新颖实用而广受欢迎。十余年来,为了保持教材的时代性和实用性,编委会已经组织专家学者进行过一次修订。2005年在广泛征求各方反馈意见的基础上,上海市高校浦东继续教育中心召开考试大纲和教程修订会议,组织相关编者进行第二次修订。各位编者广泛选材,精心编写,反复研讨,认真审核。修订后的教程进一步拓展了选材范围,更加注重内容的新颖性和应用性。
