比起還能夠好整以暇完成筆譯文件的工作，同步口譯更需要高技能。口譯就是作為中央人，即時消弭兩種分歧說話利用者溝通的隔閡。你可以想像要把這整場翻譯翻得准確無誤，譯者必須面對多麼強大的壓力嗎？在如許的場所中，一個誤解就可能造成嚴重的後果翻譯
Modeling Industry Today: All About the New
翻譯需要把一種說話(來源語言)的口說或書寫情勢轉換成另外一種語言(目標說話)，而不改變其表達的原意。 翻譯公司會說一種以上的說話嗎？你是個有效的溝通者嗎？假如你對這兩個問題的謎底都是必定的，或許你應當像那句諺語所說的「用動作證實本身的話」(雙關：用本身的嘴巴來賺錢)，考慮作為一個翻譯人員。 mediate (v) 調停解決 lance (n) 長矛 然而，情形不再是如許了。目前的年輕人看到的影像比上一代同齡的人要多很多翻譯他們感覺幾回再三看到同一個人真是太乏味了，寧願直接跳過雜誌上的這幾頁。 由於人們對於美有非常分歧的見地，他們更樂見分歧容貌與體態的模特兒。這可能轉達了一項訊息：一個沒有完善對稱五官的模特兒乃至會比面龐勻稱的模特兒更受喜愛翻譯不外，近期頻仍出現的時尚模特兒也可能在幾季內就不見蹤迹。 要能供應正確無誤的翻譯，而沒有太長的延遲，需要靠很多的學術練習與完全流利的口條翻譯翻譯課程的要求很高，要花上數年才修得完。這是一份佈滿壓力的工作，但那些追求將溝通與說話技能運用在工作上的人可以從中獲得報酬，包括高薪與旅遊機遇。 5.A、B、D在第四段皆有說起，且第一段末句說起翻譯不克不及扭曲原意，可知C為錯，故選(C)。 1.第二段介紹筆譯工作，第3、四段首要介紹口譯工作，是以本文對於二者皆有歸納綜合論述，故選(B)。 4.由第三段第1、二句可知筆譯與口譯的差別，比起還能夠好整以暇完成的筆譯工作，同步口譯需要即時反映，故選(C)。 2.由第一段最後一句得知，翻譯是把一種語言(濫觞說話)轉換成另外一種說話(目標說話)，可知中文是目標說話，故選(B)翻譯 3.由第三段第二句得知，口譯就是作為兩種分歧說話利用者彼此溝通的中間人，故選(C)。
1. (A) when (B) which (C) where (D) how 2. (A) as soon as (B) so as to (C) in order to (D) in order that 3. (A) carry out (B) make for (C) size up (D) live on 4. (A) burn (B) and burning (C) burning (D) to burning 5. (A) on duty (B) on the way

若是你正苦守低脂飲食，準備要進入模特兒行業，整體說來有一個好動靜。成功都需要做出一些犧牲。你不需要再嚴酷要求自己天天吃很少或甚至不吃。
各行各業都是如此。瘦巴巴的已不再是成為成功模特兒所需要的。老是會有人代替你，然後有一天這個人也會被代替掉。不外有個壞新聞翻譯即便有了幸運的機遇，也不要想能久長保住世界第一的位置。There are many different jobs that can be done as a freelancer, most of them in publishing and computing.
