英语中级口译的口试部分考试内容和流程是什么啊

口试共分两部分：口语与口译。考试时间为25分钟左右。

流程为：

第一部分 3-minute talk

这部分要求大家在规定的三分钟内就所给的一个英文题目进行口语表达。要求做到无重大语法错误，表达流畅，能围绕题目进行论点阐述。

第二部分 4 passages of interpretation

这部分共有四段口译，两段英翻中，两段中翻英。每一段分四小段翻完，即共有十六小段。每小段通常在两到三小句，其中至少应有一句长难复杂句。每小段结束后磁带中发出“嘟”的声音，考生必须在第二声“嘟”之前把听到的段落翻译出来。

口试与笔试最大的区别在于没有具体的分数，而只有及格与不及格之分。中级口译共十六小段，必须要确保翻对其中的十一小段。即最多只能错五小段。如只翻对十小段，错六小段，虽然只差一小段，但结果仍然是不过。

具体到每小段的时候，考官会遵循三分之二正确率的原则。即如一小段中有六个关键信息，考生必须正确翻出至少三分之二的内容才算这小段通过，如翻对二分之一，则算不及格。

我要参加2011年9月的上海市中级口译的考试，现在开始备考，跪求考过的朋友们介绍要看的书籍（谢绝广告书籍

这个考试，官方（上海外语教育出版社）出了5本教程。但你只要买听力教程、 翻译教程和口译教程 3本。书中有至少40%的内容考点是考试的重点出题来源。这个考试分笔试和口试两个阶段。过了笔试的同学才能参加口试考试。在参加第一阶段考试的时候，可以暂时丢开口译书。全力以赴攻克笔试。关于单词：以4-6级为基础，一定要会拼会写会意。（听力以及翻译要写字，听字，所以拼写很重要。）P.S 你专四专八的词汇有的话，阅读部分 会更容易一些的以 Time 1000 （网上有WORD版）为辅助， （阅读部分的材料来源于美国的时代杂志。政论类、新闻类文章是常考文体）这好像和6级的要求不太一样，所以单词量要求多多益善。（PS.阅读教程和考试无关。）新东方有个紫皮词汇书，对翻译部分也有一定贡献。把翻译教程看熟就知道考试时怎么处理了。听力书很重要，因为听力是难点，有第一部分挖二十个空的，多练就会快，一定要练到一定量。听力里还有一个难点就是听译了，这部分只能尽量拿分，但分值不高，所以不用太担心，不过也要多练，会有进步的。在考前几个月，做一下 历年真题。 就差不多了。（新东方的是梅红色的封面）如果你要单词资料，可以把邮箱留给我。我发给你。我还没有考场经验，以下是搜到的Hier 的考场听力技巧：听力三个部分（1dictation， 2answer the questions， 3translation）考前有2分钟浏览信息。抓紧宝贵时间。第一部分语速差不多130words/min。结束后会空出2分钟。建议LZ拿前1分钟誊写答案到答题纸上。后1分钟快速纵向浏览第二部分的选择题选项。第二部分共30题。前10个听句子回答是每题听完简单对话后有12秒时间给你选择正确答案。后20个为段落听后选择。共5段，每段4问（2000年前是4段5问）。每段念完问后问的4个问题之间间隔5秒左右供选题。第三部分句子听译之间间隔30秒供翻译成中文在答题纸上（不要翻在试卷上，考试结束后没有时间给你特别誊写）。段落听译间隔1分钟。给楼主几点建议：1．dictation部分里不要企图每个单词都边听边写全。有些可以用自己了解的速记记下代替，且只记实词不记虚词（The, a ,an 等）。20个空每空1.5分。关键词占三分之二分数。基本上一个空要填3个词的话关键词占1分。2. choices部分听段落时记得记下笔迹。比如真题里有道题看到选项里有rainy, cloudy, sunny等一定要在听段落时把各个地方的天气情况都记全，因为无法得知问题里会问哪个城市的情况。3．translation句子是3分每句，5句共15分。每句理解和表达各占一半分数。即中文意思若是对了但表达不符合汉语习惯也是要扣1或1.5分的。段落听译第一段较简单是7分，第二段8分。和句子的计分方法一样。且有些细节可省略。改分不是很紧。建议每段前部分脑记后部分笔记。第二部分实在记不下来也要把数字记下。数字占得分很多哦。考试时三个部分语速都和教程里的一样。停顿时间如上述。笔试好好准备，通过并不难。第二阶段的口译要更下功夫才行。总结：单词基础+三本教程（好好练习）+真题＝必过笔试阶段。

　　Questions 1-5

　　Last year more than a million and a half foreign tourists visited the United States. In order to understand intercultural problems better, and perhaps to find ways to improve the American image abroad, a reporter recently interviewed some of these visitors as they were leaving to return home. He especially wanted to find out their first impressions of the United States, what places they most enjoyed visiting, and some of their likes and dislikes.

　　As far as first impressions are concerned, almost all of the foreigners were impressed by the tremendous size of the country. The United States, of course, is a large country. The distance between San Francisco and New York is about the same as that between Gibraltar and Baghdad. Indeed, the entire Mediterranean Sea could easily fit within the country’s borders. Even expecting this, foreigners who visit the United States for the first time are overwhelmed by the vast distances. Apparently to be believed, such distances have to be traveld.

　　The foreign visitors were also impressed by the range of climate and the variety of scenery in the country. Many were amazed to discover that, in the same day, they could travel from the snowy cold of New England winter to the sunny warmth of Florida sunshine. Even in the single state of California, they could find sandy beaches, rocky shores, tropical vegetation, hot dry deserts, redwood forests, and towering snow-capped mountains.

　　They were also impressed by the informal friendliness of Americans.
