课程设计:
Meetings 1,2,3,4 基础阶段，中英文之间转换，注意中文和英文表达的差异，强调遣词造句的能力，改变原来只能说只言片语的英文而转为能够improvise完整的英语句子，注重积累
Meetings 5,6,7 强化阶段掌握常见中英文句型、短语、表达方式
经过第一阶段密集的培训，学员应该掌握了中英文表达的差异，基本上能根据源语言大致翻译成目标语言，一次能完成源语言信息的60%左右，进一步熟练中英文之间的转换，进一步积累常用短语
Meetings 8,9,10 精准英语以及考试冲刺，如何看待口译教材参考译文
经过两个阶段的努力，学员应该能基本掌握考试要领，接下来就是要对英语表达质量提高。注重转换的速度、信息的完整，并提高译文质量。加大考题的训练，考试技巧的讲解，帮助学生一次就通过口译两个阶段的考试。
课程目标：
为今年9月份的考试做准备
熟悉与中国知识的英语表达，向外国友人介绍中国的历史、文化以及社会现状
提升英语表达的逻辑，英语的精准，precise, concise, and vigorous
上课要求
课前要预习，词汇要准备，防止口译课沦为词汇课的尴尬
课后要复习，完成一定量的回家作业，巩固课堂所学到的知识
课内不要只知道记词汇，更多的精力应该花在培养语言转换能力，应对多种英语句型，组词造句，并提高应变能力

为什么听不懂？
English v.s. Chinese
汉语强调意合，结构比较松散，因此简单句较多；
英语强调形和，结构比较严密，长句多。Sense unit 意群
形合：语句各成分的相互结合常用适当的连接词语或各种语言连接手段，以表示其结构关系。英语注重形式(形合)，因此句子之间大量使用各种关系词(When which, whose, why, where, how, what)和连接词(and．but．or, as well as，so…that, unless, not only…but also)等等。
英语重形合：准确、具体、写实、逻辑性强
意合：句中各成分之间或句子之间的结合多依靠语义的贯通，少用连接语，所以句法结构形式短小精悍，汉语注重意合，不大喜欢用没有实际意义的虚词，只是把事情和意思连接起来，词句之间的关系在不言之中。
汉语重意合：模糊、含蓄、写意、关系微妙
杨振宁: 中国的文化是向模糊、朦胧及总体的方向走；而西方的文化是向准确而具体的方向走
汉译英的时候要注意：对于句子间的逻辑关系，采取以由隐形变显性的策略，用适当的连接词或关系词将汉语所隐含的逻辑关系表明出来。（竹竿—葡萄）
