Question

【题目】

On March2, at a press conference(记者发布会), interpreter((翻译) Yao Mengyao caught the attention of many people with her quick reaction and correct translation.

Like Yao, Zhang Lu is an interpreter for Chinas top leaders, including Premier(总理)Li Keqiang and former premier Wen Jiabao. Nine years ago, her wonderful translations of ancient poems cited(引用) by Premier Wen won praise.

At the press conference during the two sessions(两会)of 2010, Wen cited a sentence from the poem Li Sao to show his determination(决心) to deal with the problems in the governments work. With amazing skills, Zhang Interpreted the sentence quite accurately(精准地).

So how do interpreters reach their top positions?

The reason for their success is largely hard work. Besides when they go out on visits with Chinese leaders. the interpreters follow a very strict timetable. Every day they trained themselves by listening to foreign media such as BBC, VOA or CNN through TV or radio.

A month before the two sessions, the interpreters get notice of the spokespersons they are going to translate for. They then make full use of this month to get everything ready. They try to predict(预测) the questions that might be asked and think about the words and phrases the spokespersons might use when they answer the questions.

In truth, there is no secret to their success. It's all a matter of skill and hard work.

【解析】

本文是一篇说明文。在一次新闻发布会上，口译员姚梦瑶以其快速反应和正确翻译引起了许多人的主意。文章主要讲述了口译员如何取得他们的成功的。

【1】由文中“Nine years ago, her wonderful translations of ancient poems cited(引用) by Premier Wen won praise”可知九年前她的古代诗歌翻译就得到了总理的赞扬，可以推测出她是由于对诗歌的精彩翻译而被众人所知，由was和句意可知，此处应用被动语态，故填known。

【2】由文中“The reason for their success is largely hard work” 他们成功的原因主要是努力工作可知，他们通过大量的努力，总是能成功翻译出来，根据句子结构可知，此处需要一个动词，故填succeed。

【3】由文中“Every day they trained themselves by listening to foreign media such as BBC, VOA or CNN through TV or radio”他们每天都会通过听广播或看国外的电视来训练自己，可知他们把这些当成自己每日的训练，training此处用作名词，表示训练，需要形容词来修饰，故填daily。

【4】由文中“They then make full use of this month to get everything ready” 然后他们充分利用这个月把一切准备好，此处make full use表示充分利用时间，同理便表示不会浪费任何时间，由don’t可知，此处用动词原形，故填waste。

【5】由文中“They try to predict(预测) the questions that might be asked and think about the words and phrases the spokespersons might use when they answer the questions” 他们试图预测可能会问的问题并思考发言人时可能使用的单词和短语回答问题，可知他们不仅要预测问题，还要考虑到发言人可能用到的任何词汇，此处用vocabulary来概括the words and phrases，故填vocabulary。
