2019年翻译资格考试二级口译模拟题七

Information and communications are central to modem society and organizations. One approach to understand the working environment is to consider an organization as a communications system. An organization that has open lines of communication with valid, honest information going up, down, and throughout the organization will be much more effective and a much better place to work than the organization that attempts to restrict the flow of information or distort and deceive. When leadership attempts to keep workers in the dark, workers tend to become distrustful. This undermines their cooperation.

It is easy to understand the value and importance of open, honest communications and valid information. Yet, few organizations are able to function in this manner. In the long run, poor communication will undermine the entire organization. Restricting communication and distorting information are symptoms of short-range thinking. We must avoid these stupid, short-sighted traps and constantly strive for an open communications system with objective information.

分析：

① Information and communications are central to modem society and organizations.

译法：信息和沟通/交流对于现代社会和企业(组织)来说至关重要。

考点： organization 常解释为“公司;企业”或“组织”，这篇文章其实属于 Management 　板块，应解释为“企业”。

具体译法：成语法：　 central→ 至关重要

② One approach to understand the working environment is to consider an organization as 　 a communications system.

译文1：把企业看作是一个沟通体系，这是了解工作环境的方法之一。

译文2：了解工作环境的一个方法是把企业看作是一个沟通体系。

③⑴ An organization (that has open lines of communication with valid, honest information going up, down, and throughout the organization) ⑶ will be much more effective and a much better place to work ⑵ than the organization (that attempts to restrict the flow of information or distort and deceive).

译文：一个企业如果具备坦诚/公开的沟通模式/渠道和全方位的诚信信息，比起那些试图封闭信息，曲解甚至欺骗的企业来说，将会有更高的效能，并更适宜于工作。

考点： 定语从句的翻译：第一句用了省略法，第二句用了前置法。

换序译法：翻译顺序：⑴⑵⑶。这是一句较长的句子，但是句子结构并不复杂，考生可以发现整句句子是一个比较级，主语和宾语分别是两种企业，谓语是 will be much more effective and a much better place to work ，不过两个企业的后面都各有一个长句进行修饰，特别是第一个企业。因此在翻译时先把主语的情况交待完毕，然后用“比”连起句子的宾语，宾语的定语并不长，可以前置，最后再翻译谓语。

意译：这句句子意译的数量相当多，可以说是中级口译翻译到现在为止意译考点最多的地方了。
