英语口译：二战学长的心血历程

　　完型：没有练过。这里附上考后搜关键词搜出来的完型原文，是The Washington Post的一篇文章，不知道截取的是否完整还是多了点，划线的是我依稀还记得的空。
　　“Defective air bags raise questionsabout automakers”ability to handle gigantic recall.

　　More than 30 million cars and trucks nationwideare equipped with dangerously defective air bags， congressional officials say，a number that raises questions about whether the U.S. auto industry can handlewhat could become the largest recall in history.

　　Federal safety authorities haverecalled only 7.8 million vehicles over the defect in a few states， a limitedaction that lawmakers said Thursday was vastly insufficient to addresswhat they deemed “a public safety threat.”

　　Two senators demanded a much broader recallthat would cover every affected vehicle nationwide. But a recall of thatmagnitude — including best-selling models from Honda， Toyota， GM， Chrysler andsix other companies spanning 2002 to 2007 — could prove far greater than theindustry has ever managed.

　　Manufacturing that many replacement partscould take years and present a variety of logistical nightmares. Dealershipscould quickly become overwhelmed by the demand， auto safety expertssaid. This year， GM recalled a total of 30 million vehicles for faulty ignitionswitches and other problems， and months later it is struggling to makethe repairs.

　　The defective air bags， made by Japanesemanufacturer Takata， can rupture and blast out metal shards， particularly inhumid conditions， government officials have said. While the rate of reportedincidents is low， linked to four deaths and more than 100 injuries so far，their grisly severity has spurred an urgent debate about the matter inWashington.

　　Driving her Honda Accord on Christmas Evein 2009， Gurjit Rathore， a 33-year-old Virginia mother， was struck in the neckby pieces of an exploding air bag and bled to death in front of herthree children， according to a lawsuit filed by her family.

　　Takata controls more than 30 percent of theworld’s air-bag market， triggering worries that the recall could grow in theUnited States and elsewhere. Meanwhile， automakers say new air bags are alreadyin short supply.

　　Honda said it does not have enough parts toimmediately fix the more than 5 million Accords， Civics and other vehicles withdefective air bags. For a temporary fix， Toyota is instructing its dealershipsto disable air bags and attach notes on vehicles’ glove boxes warning againstriding in the passenger seat.

　　“It would take potentially years for this to be addressed. That iswhat is scary about this，” said Karl Brauer， a senior analyst at Kelley BlueBook. “You could have tens of millions of dangerous vehicles on the road.”

　　关键时间控制好，综英题量大分值小，根据个人情况做出取舍。我做题很慢，上一次大作文就开了个头就交卷了，所以今年先做的作文，磨磨蹭蹭写完作文就只剩一个小时了，教室也没有钟，自己也没带表，瞟了一眼隔壁女生带的小钟慌慌张张地用2分钟选完了单选，阅读后三篇完全没有读直接看题选的答案，完型也是一边读一边填的词，什么把所有单词按照词类先列在草稿纸上这种完全没有时间做了。改错也没读，直接从句子里挑个不顺眼的就改了。考完觉得很失落，安慰自己起码我今年把卷子算做完了。看到成绩的那一刻——感恩，万幸。

　　互译：裸考没有什么资格谈。今年文章比去年要白话一点，去年英译中还在草稿纸上打过草稿，导致后来中译英很匆忙。今年又没表，所以刷刷地往前赶，最后写完发现还有40分钟考试才结束，坐了十分钟后交了卷。

　　▶复试
　　笔试三个问题：
　　1、介绍两个口译教学中经常使用的口译理论并评论。
　　2、评论一下最近对于“任性”的不同翻译。
　　3、口译理论是如何应用于实践的。

　　由于之前的经验贴写考过adhoc acquisition 的phrases/strategies还有effort model之类的问题，所以买了前辈推荐的《口笔译训练的基本概念与模型》by Gile。其他4本参考书也买了，看了会口前3章，高口的第一部分，技巧与操练的前几页，Gile的Ad hoc和effort model。考前记得把三大理论用自己的话翻译出来。第二题首先想到之前“铁帽子王”“任性”的翻译，看到新闻还收藏到了Pocket，可惜拖延症一直都没看过，就自己写了一下。
