口譯是大腦的體操；口譯是語言的修煉；口譯是才智的升華；口譯是成功的階梯。摘自《挑戰口譯》口譯專家寄語摘要對成年中國學生來說，外語口語表達能力和口譯技能可謂是其外語綜合技能的體現和升華。口譯培訓可達到“盤活存量”的目的。中、高級口譯資格證書是一張體現真才實學的過硬證書。高水準教學、高層次培訓、高難度考試、高“含金量”證書。培養外向型、復合型、應用型的高級人才，解決“聾子英語”“啞巴英語”的有效途徑口譯教學體會（摘錄）(1)如何才能在英語面試中脫穎而出，無障礙地同面試考官用英語交流呢？提高英語的方法可謂不盡其數，就我個人而言，英語的突飛猛進得益于口譯的學習。通過了上海外語級口譯考試，為我的求職平添了一大法碼。這張因含金量高而備受市場追捧的高級口譯證書確實是一塊不錯的敲門磚，能助你獲得外企筆試和面試的機會，但更重要的是通過口譯課程的學習在英語聽、說、讀、寫等能力上的長足提高，只有這份實力才能把你真正送進外企的大門。相比其他專業考試所要求的語言文學性，中、高級口譯則更注重用詞的通俗易懂，信息的準確傳遞，用簡潔，直白的語言表現最具魅力的自我是英語面試中的至高境界。

口譯教學體會（摘錄）(2)口譯考試考查比較全面，涵蓋聽、說、讀、寫、譯等多項技能，一般來說能夠通過高級口譯意味著你的能力足以通過英語專業八級或是劍橋商務英語等各類國內考試。口譯考試的口試部分還對考生的心理素質，承壓能力等提出了較高的要求，經過了那種高強度的考驗，會對你今后適應面試的緊張氣氛大有裨益。

口譯相對于其他英語學習的最大魅力莫過于它的“中西合璧”。學習口譯仿佛是在中文和英文這兩種博大精深的語言文化中穿梭，透過語言本身你更能深刻領略其背后所蘊藏的中西方文化異同，這是何等奇妙的一件事情啊！

一、英語高級口譯資格證書考試英語高級口譯資格證書考試主要從聽、說、讀、寫、譯（包括筆譯與口譯）等方面對考生的語言綜合應用能力進行測試。考試采取客觀試題與主觀試題相結合，單項技能測試和綜合技能測試相結合的辦法，分兩個階段、五大部分進行。第一階段為綜合筆試，包括聽力試卷、閱讀試卷和翻譯試卷三大部分，分為六個考試單元：

許多專家認為，教學改革的當務之急是要改變現在的課程設置和考試辦法，不要讓孩子只知道“頭懸梁，錐刺股，死讀書，讀死書”。他們指出，教育改革的關鍵在于使全社會認識到中、小學教育的目的不只是讓學生掌握必要的知識，更應該提高學生整體素質，特別是他們對于人生意義和社會責任這些根本性的問題要有比較深入的思考。學校要在這些方面深入研究，選擇合適的內容和方式引導和幫助學生形成正確的觀點。如果學校只強調知識教育而忽視了人生課程的引導，則培養出來的只是一批文字或者數字機器，而不是準備進入社會的預備人才。

中華民族的傳統文化博大精深，源遠流長。早在2000多年前，就產生了以孔孟為代表的儒家學說和以老莊為代表的道家學說，以及其他許多也在中國思想史上有地位的學說和學派。這就是有名的諸子百家。從孔夫子到孫中山，中華民族的傳統文化有它的許多珍品，許多人民性和民主性的好東西。比如，強調仁愛、強調群體、強調天下為公，特別是“天下興亡，匹夫有責”的愛國情操和吃苦耐勞、勤儉持家、尊師重教的傳統美德。所有這些，對家庭、對國家和社會都起到了巨大的維系和調節作用。

舒舍予，字老舍，現年四十歲，面黃無須，生于北平，三歲失怙，可謂無父，志學之年，帝王不存，可謂無君，無父無君，特別孝愛老母。幼讀三百篇，不求甚解。繼學師范，遂奠教書匠之基，及壯，糊口四方，教書為業，甚難發財，每購獎券，以得末獎為榮，示甘為寒賤也。二十七歲，發憤著書，科學哲學無所終，故寫小說，博大家一笑，沒什么了不得。三十四歲結婚，今已有一男一女，均狡猾可喜。書無所不讀，全無所獲，并不著急，教書做事，均甚認真，往往吃虧，也不后悔，如此而已。再活四十年，也許能有點出息。

考生通過上述第一階段綜合筆試后，獲得參加第二階段口試的資格。口試包括口語和口譯兩大部分，其測試形式、要求與目的簡述如下：4.口語(1)命題發言與提問相結合的形式。供命題發言的題目（討論題、論證題或辯論題等）通常具有普遍性，為考生所熟悉。(2)要求考生根據所給的題目、圖表或短文及題目要求，能熟練地組織連貫發言，比較流利地表達，內容完整切題，語音語調正確，表達流利，基本無語言錯誤。5.口譯:段落翻譯，英譯漢和漢譯英各兩段，每一段長度160詞左右，每段落分為兩個考試單元，每單元后有50秒左右的間隙供考生口譯。要求考生掌握英漢互譯基本技巧，能用恰當語氣準確傳達原話（英語或漢語）意思，能完整表述原話內容；語音語調正確，用詞與句法正確，表達流利，基本無語言錯誤。
