口译课程试题试题（一）汉译英：敬老院朋友们，欢迎你们到我们的敬老院来参观。在你们参观之前，请允许我借此机会简单地介绍一下我们的敬老院的情况。∥ 我们这个敬老院是在1991年根据社会发展的需要而建立的。朋友们可能知道，中国老年人口一直以平均每年大约3%的速度增长。现在我市的老年人口就有156万。∥　敬老院的建筑面积近1,000平方米，我们还有一个很大的活动中心，老年人不但可以在这里读书看报、打牌、下棋、打乒乓，还可以学习书法和绘画，或者学一种乐器。∥　过去我们敬老院只收无子女的老人，现在有　许多老人因为呆在家里寂寞，也希望住到敬老院里来。因此，凡是交得起费用的，我们尽可能地接受。∥　不过目前我们的地方太小，想接收更多的老人心有余而力不足。好了，情况就介绍到这里，大家如果有什么问题，我很乐意回答，谢谢！∥　Friends, welcome to our olfolk’s/people’s home! Please allow me to take this opportunity to give you a briefing on the Home before I show you round. This old folk’s home was built in 1991 to meet the needs of the social development. As you may know, China’s elderly population has been increasing at an average annual growth rate of about 3%. Currently, the aged population in our city has reached 1.56 million. The Home occupies a floor space of some 1.000 square meters. We have a large recreational center for the elderly to newspapers and magazines, play cards, chess or ping-pong. They may also take lessons in calligraphy and painting, or learn to play a musical instrument. We used to accept only elderly people without children. Now that many senior citizens feel lonely staying at home all by themselves and want to come to live in our old folk’s home, we try to admit as many as possible those who can afford the expenses. But the trouble is that the place is too small, so we are unable to accept as many as we’d like to. Well, so much for the briefing. If you have any question, I’d be very glad to answer them. Thank you! 英译汉： 中美首脑互访Question: How do you comment on President Jiang Zemin’s visit to United States and President Clinton’s visit to China?
