[01:00.98]Listen to the tape and interpret the following passage from English into Chinese:;

[01:08.27]Ladies and Gentlemen, My topic today is Education in Australia.;

[01:14.83]In Australia, each state and territory has its own primary;

[01:19.63]and secondary education system.;

[01:21.78]Standards, however,are high and reasonably uniform.;

[01:26.75]Within each state and territory system there are two main types of school — government;

[01:33.05]and non-government. In government schools, attended by about two thirds of children,;

[01:39.73]tuition is free. About three-quarters of the non-government schools are Catholic.;

[01:46.77]Most non-government schools charge fees.;

[01:51.08]Although the states and territories are responsible for all education,;

[01:56.12]the federal Government provides most funding for higher education.;

[02:00.45]In 1989, it set up a system under which undergraduate;

[02:06.41]and postgraduate students must make a financial contribution;

[02:11.24]toward the cost of their study. Throughout Australia,;

[02:16.05]schooling is compulsory between the age of six and fifteen years.;

[02:21.33]However, most children begin school earlier than the law requires,;

[02:26.67]usually in pre-schools run by the same organizations;

[02:31.42]that administer the mainstream schools.;

[02:34.97]Primary schooling lasts six to seven years;

[02:39.51]and the curriculum is similar across the nation.;

[02:43.00]Studies begin with basic language and mathematics,;

[02:47.23]and the fundamentals of inquiry,and social, health and creative skills are taught.;

[02:54.53]Before reaching secondary level, children are learning English,  mathematics,;

[03:01.24]elementary science, social studies, music, art, craft and physical education.;

[03:09.08]Optional subjects such as religion, languages and music are common.;

[03:16.30]Secondary schooling begins at year seven or eight;

[03:20.84]and goes typically to year twelve.;

[03:23.75]More advanced levels of the same subjects are taught,;

[03:27.61]plus technical and commercial ones.;

[03:30.44]The typical secondary school is the co-educational comprehensive;

[03:35.39]or multi-purpose high school, offering a wide range of s ubjects.;

[03:40.50]Some states have separate high schools;

[03:43.31]and colleges specializing in technical, agricultural,;

[03:47.69]commercial and other fields.;

[03:50.02]Their curriculums include general academic subjects and practical training.;

[03:56.25]Major examinations or other formal assessments occur after three;

[04:02.34]of four years of high school and, at this point,;

[04:05.99]most students are old enough to leave the system.;

[04:09.35]Another two years' study is available, however,;

[04:13.21]and many keep going to the end-year twelve.;

[04:16.78]In most parts of Australia,certificates are issued at each of these levels,;

[04:22.64]called commonly the School Certificate (at or about year ten);

[04:27.70]and the higher School Certificate (year twelve).;

[04:31.08]The Higher School Certificate is usually required for university;

[04:35.79]of higher-education college entry.;

[04:38.16]Post-secondary education in Australia occurs in universities;

[04:43.05]and colleges of technical and further education called TAFEs.;

[04:49.42]Most of Australia's approximately one million TAFE students attend;

[04:55.45]state-administered colleges. The vast majority study part-time.;

[05:00.61]All major skills in a wide range of industrial, commercial, artistic;

[05:06.49]and domestic occupations are covered.;

[05:09.15]Most universities also offer non-degree continuing-education programs.;

[05:15.57]The entire system is matched by correspondence courses for students prevented;

[05:20.97]by illness, disability or residential isolation from attending schools.;

[05:26.61]There are also "school of the air",;

[05:29.23]which use two way radio networks to provide "classroom" experience;

[05:34.01]to students in isolated places.;

[05:36.35]In some states, children living too far from a secondary school;

[05:40.45]to travel daily may live in government funded or subsidized hostels.;

[05:46.04]Special educational services are provided to integrate into classrooms children;

[05:52.88]with disabilities attending special and mainstream schools.;

[05:56.94]They are designed to accommodate the special needs of children;

[06:01.03]with intellectual, physical, sensory, emotional, social or learning disabilities.;

[06:08.74]There is a nationwide school program designed to increase students' sensitivity;

[06:14.93]to the population's multicultural background;

[06:17.95]and to help ethnic communities maintain their languages and cultures.;

[06:23.31]Students from non-English speaking backgrounds are helped;

[06:26.92]to develop their English to enhance their equality;

[06:30.06]of opportunity in education and participation in society.;

[06:35.34]Educational material developed under federal initiatives is available to schools;

[06:41.04]to meet such language needs.;

[06:43.10]I'd like to stop here and wish to take your questions.;

[11:38.13]it is where the manufactured goods from Asia arrive throughout the year.;

[11:44.79]Vancouver's manufacturing includes lumber and paper milling,;

[11:50.34]food processing, oil refining, metal fabricating,;

[11:55.46]and the production of chemicals, machinery, electronic items, and printed matter.;

[12:02.46]Vancouver is predominantly a service center.;

[12:07.45]Since the 1960s, employment in finance, insurance,;

[12:13.17]and real-estate- related activities has tripled,;

[12:17.17]that in accommodation and food services has quadrupled,;

[12:22.22]that in health and welfare services has quintupled,;

[12:26.79]and that in services for business has increased eightfold. Employment in primary;

[12:34.98]and secondary industries has declined relative to population.;

[12:40.82]The majority of Vancouver's historic buildings are in the Gastown;

[12:47.01]and Chinatown areas.;

[12:49.75]Older sections of the city have undergone considerable change since 1960,;

[12:56.31]when downtown high-rise office buildings and hotels were built.;

[13:02.15]False Creek — a decaying industrial area with sawmills, rail yards,;

[13:08.01]and small shops — was transformed into a residential development project.;

[13:14.26]Gastown, the original heart of the city,;

[13:18.16]was restored in the 1880s style with antique stores and boutiques.;

[13:25.24]Vancouver is largely British in character with some Chinese influence.;

[15:26.35]with brilliant hues of red, give a flaming tribute to the city.;

[15:31.67]Maple trees produce a peculiar sap each spring,;

[15:36.39]which in turn produces a sweet and delicious syrup.;

[21:47.24]Passage 2 English-Chinese Interpretation;

[21:55.43]Listen to the tape and interpret the following passage from English into Chinese:;

[22:04.73]Situated between the state of New Youk of the United States;

[22:10.49]and the province of Ontario of Canada,and with an age of 25,000 years,;

[22:17.34]Niagara Falls is one of the most spectacular natural wonders;

[22:22.17]on the North American continent. The falls are on the Niagara River,;

[22:27.08]which flows between the United States and Canada from Lake Erie to Lake Ontario.;

[22:34.03]The falls are about 17 miles northwest of Buffalo, N. Y..;

[22:40.72]The industrial city and tourist center of Niagara Falls, N. Y.;

[22:46.00]is adjacent to the American side of the falls.;

[22:50.13]Niagara Falls,Ontario, is across the river.;

[22:55.62]The falls are divided into two parts by Goat Island.;

[23:01.04]The larger portion, on the southwest side, is the Canadian falls,;

[23:06.80]known as the Horseshoe Falls. It measures 790 meters along its curve and drops 49.4 meters.;

[23:18.50]The smaller American falls is northeast of Goat Island.;

[23:23.85]It is 305 meters across and drops about 51 meters.;

[23:30.30]Just before flowing over the ledge,;

[23:34.02]the American stream is only about one meter deep,;

[23:37.63]while the Canadian stream is about six meters deep;

[23:41.34]and carries some 95 percent of the Niagara River's water.;

[23:47.06]Thus the Horseshoe is the larger and grander of the two falls.;

[23:53.85]Every minute about 340,000 cubic meters, or close to 379,000 tons, of water;

[24:03.20]pours in torrents over the cliffs of the falls of Niagara.;

[24:08.23]As the water plunges from the brink of the falls,it fills the air with a silvery mist,;

[24:15.43]which under the sunlight displays many brilliant rainbows.;

[24:20.57]The plunging water also sends out a never-ending roar as it strikes the bottom.;

[24:27.40]For this reason the Indians called the cataract Niagara,;

[24:32.13]meaning "thunder of waters".;

[24:35.30]The plunging water has worn away the lower rocks;

[24:39.66]so that there are caves behind the sheets of water of both falls.;

[24:44.24]Sightseers may enter the Cave of the Winds at the foot of the American falls;

[24:49.95]and get an unusual view.;

[24:52.82]The Canadian falls has carved a plunge basin 59 meters deep.;

[24:59.44]Both the United States and Canadian governments have built parks,;

[25:04.87]viewing platforms, paths, and highways.;

[25:08.69]The Niagara Reservation State Park was established in 1885;

[25:14.09]and is New York's oldest state park. It includes an observation tower,;

[25:20.43]elevators that descend into the gorge at the base of the American falls,;

[25:25.28]and boat trips into the waters at the base of the Horseshoe Falls.;

[25:30.46]At night colored lights illuminate the falls;

[25:33.90]and create a charming spectacle which viewers find hard to turn away from.;

[25:40.11]The park area has long been a tourist site;

[25:43.40]and a favorite spot for couples to spend their honeymoons.;

[26:13.07]and interpret  the following passage alternatively into English and Chinese.;

[26:21.03](今天我们可以毫不夸张 地说，计算机已无所不 在。先进的高科技产品似 乎随处可见，;

[26:31.70]我们的办公室、学校和住 所都有。但是相对来说， 计算机的发展历史比较 短。;

[26:40.20]直到20世纪40年代晚期， 计算机才从专业的科学仪 器发展为商品。;

[26:48.35]保罗.赛卢奇先生在他的 《现代计算机的历史》一 书中探讨了几乎鲜为人 知的计算的展史。;

[26:56.73]以下是对保罗.赛卢奇先 生的一次采访.);

[27:02.08]问:赛卢奇先生,现代计算 的历史究竟从何时 开始的?;

[27:09.13]A:Well,computing is something that people have been doing for centuries.;

[27:14.48]But,I like to think that the beginnings of the modern era of computing;

[27:19.61]really began around 1945 when the first computer was completed that used vacuum,;

[27:26.53]or electronics,to do the calculations instead of gears and mechanical parts.;

[27:34.57]问:那台计算机的性能 如何呢?;

[27:38.35]A:Well, it was quite unreliable. The tubes burned out.frequently.;

[27:44.40]But, if you could keep it running for an hour or two you could do more work in that hour;

[27:49.99]than you could with a mechanical device running all day.;

[27:55.11]问:你在书中告诉读者, 计算机其实是20世纪40年 代后期由专业科学仪器转 变为商业产品的.;

[28:06.41]那么,是谁促成了这种转 变的呢?;

[28:10.66]A:A lot of people have claimed credit;

[28:14.32]and there is a bit controversy over this concept.;

[28:17.93]What really happened was people who built these early computers conceived of the idea;

[28:24.04]of storing the program the instructions that tell the computer what to do internally,;

[28:29.92]in its own memory. It is a very ingenious idea that seems obvious in retrospect.;

[28:37.90]问:赛卢奇先生,在你所著 的《现代计算史》中， 你论述了经济和冷战对计 算的影响。;

[28:47.68]那么，你在书中写到了 哪些影响呢？;

[28:52.10]A:We, today, enjoy a wealth of consumer products that use silicon chips;

[28:58.39]that cost sometimes a few dollars. I have one on my wristwatch.;

[29:04.38]Our pocket calculators cost a few dollars, or are even given away.;

[29:10.50]It is hard to imagine that the first silicon chips were very delicate,;

[29:16.03]very expensive devices.;

[29:19.23]No one was quite sure if they were going to work at all.;

[29:23.65]But, the United States Air Force faced a problem of trying;

[29:27.96]to miniaturize guidance electronics for its missiles;

[29:31.63]and entered into a number of contracts;

[29:34.31]with companies that were making silicon chips;

[29:37.68]and the result was they improved the reliability.;

[29:41.81]They allowed the companies to set up production lines;

[29:45.31]that eventually drove down the cost. So, today's two-dollar calculator;

[29:51.36]is the product of a multi-million dollar air force project of the early 1960s.;

[29:59.10]问:在计算机科技领域, 最大的公司显然是国际商 务机器公司,即IBM公司.;

[30:08.77]那么IBM公司有哪些功过 是非呢?;

[30:13.31]A:IBM was a manufacturer of punch cards,;

[30:17.55]equipment that used mechanical readers,and electro-magnetic replays;

[30:22.79]and they were very, very successful. Around the late 1940s;

[30:29.31]they saw these experimental electronic computers coming along;

[30:33.39]and they made a very brilliant decision to go with the electronic computer.;

[30:39.68]It sounds obvious in hindsight. But, if you were there at the time,;

[30:46.37]it might have seemed a very, very risky decision.;

[30:51.43]But, they did it and they became dominant in the computer industry.;

[30:57.02]That domination lasted right up into the 1980s until a little upstart company;

[31:04.59]called Microsoft came along and a few other companies came along.;

[31:09.60]That kind of knocked them out of that position because they failed to see;

[31:14.66]that the little personal computers,;

[31:17.28]which were kind of hobbyist kits in the early days, were going to have;

[31:21.64]such an enormous potential once the bugs were ironed out of them.;

[31:27.06]问:赛卢奇先生,我的最后 一个问题是,当今计算机 面临的主要问题是什么?;

[31:35.91]A:There used to be big problems of reliability,;

[31:39.75]just getting them to work at all. Now, they work.;

[31:44.40]They are reliable and relatively cheap. Now, the problems of politics;

[38:14.16]Extra Text for practice;

[38:17.35]Passage 1 Chinese-English Alternating Interpretation;

[38:23.32]Listen to the tape;

[38:24.71]and interpret the following passage alternatively into English and Chinese:;

[38:32.13]（加拿大通信专家马歇 尔.迈克卢汉一生中从未 碰过个人电脑.;

[38:40.00]迈克卢汉于1979年逝世, 他对媒体的研究以及他对 人们和社会的影响至今仍 发挥着作用.;

[38:51.28]美国高科技专家保罗.列 文森与迈克卢汉教授相 识,;

[38:57.08]他在自己所著的《数字化 的迈克卢汉:;

[39:00.88]进入信息化千年的引导 者》一书中探讨了迈克卢 汉对媒体的研究以及他对 大众和社会的影响.;

[39:10.48]以下是对保罗.列文森的 一次采访);

[39:15.44]问:列文森先生,你在所著 的《数字化的迈克卢汉:;

[39:21.03]进入信息化千年的引导 者》一书中探讨了 马歇尔.迈克卢汉对媒体 的研究;

[39:27.89]以及他对大众和社会的影 响.迈克卢汉教授是一位 来自加拿大的通讯专家,;

[39:35.65]一生中他从未碰过个人 电脑.可他为什么会是一 名如此重要的人物呢?;

[39:43.35]A:He did his writing in the decades of 1950s through 1970s. And those decades,;

[39:52.17]of course,were the first years of television.;

[39:55.35]He was the first thinker to really look at television;

[39:59.31]as something that had a serious impact upon our society.;

[40:04.05]Interestingly,although he was writing about television,;

[40:08.46]an enormous amount of what he said has even more applicability to the Internet age.;

[40:14.77]For example,he said that television was turning the world into a global village.;

[40:22.25]What he meant by that is that when everyone watches the same thing;

[40:26.82]on the television screen,;

[40:29.50]that group which is watching the television program is a community of sorts.;

[40:35.25]It's like the people in a village all hearing and seeing the same thing.;

[40:40.83]In contrast,now in the new millennium, when people communicate on the web,;

[40:47.53]and through the Internet, they are not only doing and hearing;

[40:52.39]and seeing the same thing, they are also participating,;

[40:56.74]communicating among each other.;

[40:59.86]So,the notion of village becomes much more meaningful;

[41:04.16]and real in our digital age.;

[41:07.23]问:所不同的是电视是一 种单向的媒体,而因特网 是双响的.;

[41:14.88]A:That's right. There is the crucial difference right there.;

[41:20.40]Most media in the 20th century,in fact all of the major media of the 20th century— radio,;

[41:27.99]motion pictures, television — were and are like newspapers and books:;

[41:33.91]one-way medi-a. The telephone, which of course was invented in 1876,;

[41:41.11]is a two-way medium. But, it is a two-way personal medium.;

[41:46.75]There is nothing public,;

[41:49.48]or there shouldn't be much public about a telephone conversation.;

[41:54.28]What makes the Internet so different is that it is public;

[41:58.63]but it is also interactive and two-way.;

[42:03.15]问:我们怎么样来确保我 们所拥有的是一个地球村 而不是一个国际贫民 窟呢?;

[42:10.63]因为因特网可能有危险. 一说起村庄,我就想到这 是一个友好的地方.;

[42:18.84]而因特网并不是一个不折 不扣的友善之地,是吗?;

[42:24.86]A:The village itself we might think of as being friendly.;

[42:29.72]But even with traditional villages,;

[42:32.73]I'm sure a fair share of villages had one or two psychotic persons.;

[42:38.82]So, the Internet is really a magnification of human life.;

[42:43.78]So unsurprisingly,yes, there are some nut cases on the Internet.;

[42:50.03]There are hackers and other types of criminals on the Internet;

[42:54.44]and we do have to work hard to be aware of those problems;

[42:59.30]and do what we can to keep them in check. At the same time,;

[43:04.66]we have to resist the temptation of turning the Internet into a police state;

[43:10.07]or into an arena where the rights and freedoms;

[43:13.92]that we enjoy off line are curtailed online in the interest of keeping it safe.;

[43:20.39]There is always that sort of balance. Yes, we want it to be safe,;

[43:26.70]but, yes, we also want it to be free.;

[43:31.45]问:马歇尔.迈克卢汉看到 了一个人人都能成为出版 商的时代.他指的是复 印机.;

[43:40.32]今天,我们有了因特网, 它能使每个人都成为出色 的出版者,但不是编辑.;

[43:48.30]人人都是出版者,但周围 却没有编辑,难道这不是 一个问题吗?;

[43:54.77]A: The traditional value of the editor is in some way to stipulate;

[44:00.58]and vouch for the quality of the publication.;

[44:04.43]Yes,there is a concern that when anyone can put anything on a web page;

[44:10.85]there is no safeguard for the quality. But, on the other hand,;

[44:16.09]and there is always another hand,;

[44:18.83]I think the reason why McLuhan celebrated first the Xerox,;

[44:23.96]allowing every author to be a publisher, and why I'm now so pleased;

[44:29.38]that the web is even expanding and amplifying that,;

[44:34.06]is there is also the danger of editors keeping out of the mixed;

[44:39.25]things that are good. What the web does is it removes the middleman;

[44:46.29]and allows the creator to communicate directly with his or her audience,;

[44:51.42]and on balance I think that's a good thing. There will be more trash available.;

[44:58.51]But,there will also be more treasure;

[45:00.91]that would otherwise be hidden from public view.;

[45:05.99]Passage 2 English-Chinese Alternating Interpretation;

[45:13.08]Listen to the tape;

[45:14.97]and interpret the following passage alternatively into Chinese and English :;

[45:31.10]Q:Almost all modern operas originated from some kind of ancient performing art.;

[45:40.15]答：是的，歌剧是由原始 歌舞发展而来，包括祭祀 神灵、祖先以及庆祝丰 收和胜利的歌舞。;

[45:51.75]据历史记载，取悦王公贵 族的专业艺术家早在春秋 战国时期便已出现。;

[46:00.35]西汉时期，宫廷和民间盛 行舞蹈、音乐、杂技和手 技等表演。;

[46:08.55]以后出现了歌舞剧，并加 入动作和对话来表现 剧情。;

[46:16.64]Q:As for as I hnow, Chinese operas first appeared in the south.;

[46:23.23]答：不完全对,这样说吧, 宋、金时期出现了杂剧， 其中最为突出是南剧， 通常叫作南戏，;

[46:35.06]主要出现在闽浙一带。 现代戏剧带有一些明显的 南戏成分。;

[46:42.88]元朝的杂剧达到盛鼎时 期，出现了一大批经典作 品和杰出的剧作家。;

[46:51.75]到了明朝，杂剧分化成不 同的地方戏剧，有着不同 的唱腔。;

[46:58.84]Q：The life of drama lies in its development and renovation.;

[47:05.76]答：完全正确。中国戏剧 到了清朝更加繁荣，同时 也进一步地区化，产生了 不同的唱腔，;

[47:16.14]如高腔、昆腔、秦腔、 梆子、二黄、西皮等。;

[47:23.17]到了清朝中期，北京的戏 班子将二黄和西皮融合起 来，同时还采用了其他唱 腔的一些成分，;

[47:34.84]推出了一种新的皮黄调， 就是现在京剧的前身。;

[47:41.09]Q:What attributes to the sustained popularity;

[47:44.83]of traditional Chinese operas?;

[47:48.73]答：在长期的发展过程 中，中国戏剧形成了鲜明 的民族特色，受到广大群 众的欢迎，;

[47:58.33]也得到政府强有力的 支持。自1949年以来， 中国传统戏剧得到了前 所未有的发展，;

[48:08.21]全国各地现有剧团 1,573个,演员达到86,000 多名,其中京剧团为135个 京剧演员11,000左右.;

[48:23.89]Q:In the west,operas are losing young audiences,What is the situation in China?;

[48:31.59]答:在变化了的生活方式 和大众传媒的冲击下,传 统戏剧在一些大城市失去 了许多年轻的观众.;

[48:42.31]但是,传统戏剧依然是最 受我国人民欢迎的娱乐活 动之一.;
