9、“上帝”的感觉。 改革前，逛 街购物通常意味着对意志的考验，国营商场里那些昏昏欲睡的售货员们卖东西的积极性不高。货物的质量 往往不够好，商品的摆放也是漫不经心。缺货断货是常有的事，大米、布匹、食用油都要凭票购买。那样 的日子早已一去不复返了。 广义上的零售消费额估计超过 4500 亿美元，并以每年 10%的速度递增。加上 所有商品 17%的增值税，零售业已成为国家财政收入的主要来源之一。自1978 年以来，私营经济大规模进入零售业。国有企业为了降低成本和赢利被迫大批裁减职工。许多下岗职工进入零售业，不少人经营小卖 铺、便利店、服装店、酒吧、餐馆，甚至美容店和干洗店。 国外投资商也大举进入零售市
10、场。自 1992 年 以来，他们在中国的投资已超过 30 亿美元。以家乐福和沃尔玛为首，约 300 家外资零售商获准在中国设 立2200家连锁店。随着中国的人世，这一发展速度肯定还要加快。虽然外商在零售总额中只占2%-4%但他们对市场却产生了深远的影响。外商的存在促使国内零售企业在竞争中不断扩大规模，增强对顾客的 吸引力。新来者为市场带来了大量的商品，原来仅为精英人士和外国富人准备的外国名牌商品，现在也瞄 准了中国本地的消费者。 ） 解析： 解析 本文主要讨论中国零售业发展的情况。文章将中国市场经济改革前的情况和改革后的情况作 了比较，说明中国零售业的迅速发展。文章认为国外投资商大举进入中国零
11、售市场和中国加入世贸组织会对中国零售市场产生深远影响。文章使用了大量的数字统计，以使观点更具有说服力。 本文要求考查应试 者对中国零售业方面基本知识的掌握情况，包括某些专门用语、具有中国特色的表达、数字单位的换算、 专有名词等的掌握情况，以确定其翻译的基本素质；在此基础上，应试者还要在相当短的时间内对长难句 理解并准确完整地翻译；对某些短语和单词确切理解其含义并能理解其在上下文语境中的确切用法，使全 文的翻译不仅准确完整，而且符合本族语的语言习惯。 基本素质采分点 以下单词或短语是本文的基础 知识点，包括具有中国特色的表达法、专有名词、经济术语、数字单位的换算等，需要应试者正确理解并 翻译。

13、注 意长句的基本结构，而后补充次要结构的内容。但组织语言时，因原句信息过于庞杂，这就要求应试者不 仅能用符合本族语言习惯的方式表述信息，而且要保证信息在表述过程中不会缺失或误译。1 Chinaseconomy， once reliant on state spending in heavy industry ，has increasingly looked to the retail sector for growth 该句是简单句，其主要结构是 Chinas economyhas looked to the retail sector for growth ，而 once 后面的 relia
14、nt on 形容词短语是对 Chinas economy 的修饰和补充。翻译时，可按 照汉语句短的特点，将全句拆成两个句子，又因是口译，可按原句的天然顺序组合信息。因此，原句可译 为“中国经济一度靠国家投资重工业来维持增长，而目前零售业已日趋成为经济的增长点。” 2 With a value added tax of 17% applied to all goods ，the retail trade is a major contributor to state revenue 该句是简单句，其主要结构是 the retail trade is a major contributor ，该句

16、corner shops，convenience stores ，clothing shops， bars and restaurants ，and even beauty parlors and dry cleaners该句虽然很长，但是简单句，主要结构是 with 短语之前的部分， with 短语部分是现在分词独立主格结构做全句的状语， 该部分信息量大， 以并列结构形式出现，口译时，需要注意不要漏译。由于 with 短语部分内容庞杂，可将其加主语，译为一 句话，因此，原句可译为“许多下岗职工进入零售业，不少人经营小卖铺、 便利店、服装店、酒吧、餐馆， 甚至美容店和干洗店。”4.
