口譯是大腦的體操；口譯是語言的修煉；口譯是才智的升華；口譯是成功的階梯。摘自《挑戰(zhàn)口譯》口譯專家寄語摘要對成年中國學(xué)生來說，外語口語表達能力和口譯技能可謂是其外語綜合技能的體現(xiàn)和升華?？谧g培訓(xùn)可達到“盤活存量”的目的。中、高級口譯資格證書是一張體現(xiàn)真才實學(xué)的過硬證書。高水準教學(xué)、高層次培訓(xùn)、高難度考試、高“含金量”證書。培養(yǎng)外向型、復(fù)合型、應(yīng)用型的高級人才，解決“聾子英語”“啞巴英語”的有效途徑口譯教學(xué)體會（摘錄）(1)如何才能在英語面試中脫穎而出，無障礙地同面試考官用英語交流呢？提高英語的方法可謂不盡其數(shù)，就我個人而言，英語的突飛猛進得益于口譯的學(xué)習(xí)。通過了上海外語級口譯考試，為我的求職平添了一大法碼。這張因含金量高而備受市場追捧的高級口譯證書確實是一塊不錯的敲門磚，能助你獲得外企筆試和面試的機會，但更重要的是通過口譯課程的學(xué)習(xí)在英語聽、說、讀、寫等能力上的長足提高，只有這份實力才能把你真正送進外企的大門。相比其他專業(yè)考試所要求的語言文學(xué)性，中、高級口譯則更注重用詞的通俗易懂，信息的準確傳遞，用簡潔，直白的語言表現(xiàn)最具魅力的自我是英語面試中的至高境界。

口譯教學(xué)體會（摘錄）(2)口譯考試考查比較全面，涵蓋聽、說、讀、寫、譯等多項技能，一般來說能夠通過高級口譯意味著你的能力足以通過英語專業(yè)八級或是劍橋商務(wù)英語等各類國內(nèi)考試?？谧g考試的口試部分還對考生的心理素質(zhì)，承壓能力等提出了較高的要求，經(jīng)過了那種高強度的考驗，會對你今后適應(yīng)面試的緊張氣氛大有裨益。

口譯相對于其他英語學(xué)習(xí)的最大魅力莫過于它的“中西合璧”。學(xué)習(xí)口譯仿佛是在中文和英文這兩種博大精深的語言文化中穿梭，透過語言本身你更能深刻領(lǐng)略其背后所蘊藏的中西方文化異同，這是何等奇妙的一件事情??！

一、英語高級口譯資格證書考試英語高級口譯資格證書考試主要從聽、說、讀、寫、譯（包括筆譯與口譯）等方面對考生的語言綜合應(yīng)用能力進行測試?？荚嚥扇】陀^試題與主觀試題相結(jié)合，單項技能測試和綜合技能測試相結(jié)合的辦法，分兩個階段、五大部分進行。第一階段為綜合筆試，包括聽力試卷、閱讀試卷和翻譯試卷三大部分，分為六個考試單元：

許多專家認為，教學(xué)改革的當務(wù)之急是要改變現(xiàn)在的課程設(shè)置和考試辦法，不要讓孩子只知道“頭懸梁，錐刺股，死讀書，讀死書”。他們指出，教育改革的關(guān)鍵在于使全社會認識到中、小學(xué)教育的目的不只是讓學(xué)生掌握必要的知識，更應(yīng)該提高學(xué)生整體素質(zhì)，特別是他們對于人生意義和社會責(zé)任這些根本性的問題要有比較深入的思考。學(xué)校要在這些方面深入研究，選擇合適的內(nèi)容和方式引導(dǎo)和幫助學(xué)生形成正確的觀點。如果學(xué)校只強調(diào)知識教育而忽視了人生課程的引導(dǎo)，則培養(yǎng)出來的只是一批文字或者數(shù)字機器，而不是準備進入社會的預(yù)備人才。

中華民族的傳統(tǒng)文化博大精深，源遠流長。早在2000多年前，就產(chǎn)生了以孔孟為代表的儒家學(xué)說和以老莊為代表的道家學(xué)說，以及其他許多也在中國思想史上有地位的學(xué)說和學(xué)派。這就是有名的諸子百家。從孔夫子到孫中山，中華民族的傳統(tǒng)文化有它的許多珍品，許多人民性和民主性的好東西。比如，強調(diào)仁愛、強調(diào)群體、強調(diào)天下為公，特別是“天下興亡，匹夫有責(zé)”的愛國情操和吃苦耐勞、勤儉持家、尊師重教的傳統(tǒng)美德。所有這些，對家庭、對國家和社會都起到了巨大的維系和調(diào)節(jié)作用。

舒舍予，字老舍，現(xiàn)年四十歲，面黃無須，生于北平，三歲失怙，可謂無父，志學(xué)之年，帝王不存，可謂無君，無父無君，特別孝愛老母。幼讀三百篇，不求甚解。繼學(xué)師范，遂奠教書匠之基，及壯，糊口四方，教書為業(yè)，甚難發(fā)財，每購獎券，以得末獎為榮，示甘為寒賤也。二十七歲，發(fā)憤著書，科學(xué)哲學(xué)無所終，故寫小說，博大家一笑，沒什么了不得。三十四歲結(jié)婚，今已有一男一女，均狡猾可喜。書無所不讀，全無所獲，并不著急，教書做事，均甚認真，往往吃虧，也不后悔，如此而已。再活四十年，也許能有點出息。
