问题 Distinguished Guests, Ladies and Gentlemen,
    First of all, I wish to congratulate the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) and the Interpol on the success of this conference, a conference which has attracted over 500 delegates including anti-corruption experts, law enforcers, representatives from world organizations, and financial institutions and academia from around the world. It is indeed a great honour for Hong Kong to co-host this global conference with the world’s preeminent organisation.
    I would also like to extend my warmest welcome to all our participants, who come from all over the world and yet share a commitment to the same cause. The participation of 65 law enforcement agencies from more than 59 jurisdictions and eight international organisations in this conference reflects a truly global partnership in fighting corruption.
    Corruption is a social crime. Its adverse effects on a society can be very significant if left unchecked. It can erode the rule of law, undermine the efficiency of governments, stifle economic development, and in some cases may trigger social and political unrest.
    With accelerated economic globalization and rapid advances in technology, corruption today transcends national boundaries, and has taken on a new dimension. It has become a means to facilitate and perpetuate syndicated crimes, including international money laundering schemes, massive commercial fraud scams, cross-border drug trafficking, smuggling of human beings and many other serious crimes.
    To tackle corruption as a global issue and a cross-border crime, we need a global approach and a border-less alliance. Hong Kong’s ICAC and Interpol have built up a very solid relationship over the years to combat corruption through the promotion of international co-operation and strategic alliance.
    Hong Kong is a premier international financial center and is widely recognised as one of the most competitive and freest economies in the world. Among the many fundamental strengths that Hong Kong possesses, I am particularly proud that we are rated as one of the least corrupt places in the world.
    Despite these achievements, there is no room for complacency. At the moment, we are facing tremendous challenges as our economy grapples with restructuring.
    This conference provides a valuable forum for all participants to share experiences and to exchange ideas and initiatives for tackling corruption. I am sure everyone here will benefit in one way or another.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
    I now declare the Conference open, and wish you a fruitful and very memorable stay in Hong Kong.
    Thank you.  

选项

答案尊敬的各位来宾,女士们,先生们, 首先,我祝贺香港廉政公署和国际刑警组织成功举办此次会议。此次会议吸引了来,6全球的500多名代表,包括反贪专家、执法人员,还有来自国际组织、金融机构和学术界的朋友。香港能够与举世闻名的国际刑警组织共同举办这一全球性会议,深感荣幸。 我谨向所有与会代表表示热烈欢迎,大家来自世界各地,却有着同样的理想。参加此次盛会的,包括逾五十九个司法管辖区的六十五个执法机构和八个国际组织,这表明此次会议是一次真正的全球性反贪合作会议。 贪污是一种社会罪行,如不加以阻止,对社会祸害无穷,会腐蚀法治,影响政府效率,抑制经济发展,有时甚至可能造成社会政治动荡。 随着经济全球化加速发展,科技进步日新月异,今天,贪污恶行已不受国界限制,并以新的形式出现,成为不法集团的犯罪工具,被用来从事国际洗钱、大规模商业诈骗、跨国毒品走私、贩卖人口等许多严重罪行。 对付贪污这种全球性跨国犯罪行为,需要采取全球跨国联盟的方式加以打击。多年来,香港廉政公署与国际刑警组织已结成稳固的合作盟友,通过推动国际协作和战略性结盟,合力打击贪污。 香港是一流的国际金融中心,被公认为世界上最具竞争力和最自由的经济体之一。我们有许多根本优势,其中尤其令我自豪的是被评为世界上最廉洁的地方。 虽然取得了这些成绩,我们却不能自满。目前,我们正面临经济转型的重大挑战。 这次会议给我们提供了分享经验,交流意见,讨论反腐良方的宝贵机会。我深信每位与会者都会从中受益。 女士们,先生们,现在我宣布会议开幕,并祝大家旅港愉快,富有成效。 谢谢。

解析     本文主题是香港廉政公署和国际刑警组织如何共同合作打击贪污。本文要求应试者具有相关方面的常识,掌握相关专门术语,这些知识构成考查应试者基本素质的内容,在较为短暂的时间内,应试者还需对复杂的长难句作出判断,使翻译不仅信息完整正确,还要基本符合汉语习惯。在此基础上,应试者还要对文中的某些单词或短语作出判断,使其翻译不仅正确还要符合上下文语境的需要。
    - 基本素质采分点
    1.the Independent Commission Against Corruption(ICAC)     (香港)廉政公署
    2.the Interpol                                            国际刑警组织
    3.jurisdiction                                            司法管辖区
    4.money laundering scheme                                  洗钱
    - 结构理解采分点
    1.It can erode the rule of law, undermine the efficiency of governments, stifle economic development, and in some cases may trigger social and political unrest.
    该句是简单句,若干动宾词组做并列宾语,该句翻译精彩处是注意若干动词翻译既要正确又要符合汉语的语言习惯,即使是口译,译者的翻译水平也会从类似的翻译中体现出来。因此,原句可译为“贪污会腐蚀法治,影响政府效率,抑制经济发展,有时甚至可能造成社会政治动荡。”
    2.Hong Kong’s ICAC and Interpol have built up a very solid relationship over the years to combat corruption through the promotion of international co-operation and strategic alliance.
    该句是简单句,其中to combat动词不定式短语做全句状语,因为该部分内容过多,可将其单独译为一个分句。因此,原句可译为“多年来,香港廉政公署与国际刑警组织已结成稳固的合作盟友,通过推动国际协作和战略性结盟,合力打击贪污。”
    3.Among the many fundamental strengths that Hong Kong possesses, I am particularly proud that we are rated as one of the least corrupt places in the world.
    该句是复合句。主干部分是I am particularly proud that...,句首的Among介词短语为全句的状语,但在翻译时,因其内容过多,可单独译为一句。因此,原句可译为“我们有许多根本优势,其中尤其令我自豪的是被评为世界上最廉洁的地方。”
    4.At the moment, we are facing tremendous challenges as our economy grapples with restructuring.
    该句是复合句,其中as引导原因状语从句,翻译时,可将此从句译作定语,以使译文结构紧凑。因此,原句可译为“目前,我们正面临经济转型的重大挑战。”
    5.This conference provides a valuable forum for all participants to share experiences and to exchange ideas and initiatives for tackling corruption.
    本句是简单句,译文的关键是处理若干动词的翻译。其中exchange分别与idea和initiative搭配,所以译文要处理该词与不同宾语搭配的翻译。因此,原句可译为“这次会议给我们提供了分享经验,交流意见,讨论反腐良方的宝贵机会。”
    - 言语表达采分点
    1.law enforcer                       执法人员
    2.preeminent organisation            知名机构
    3.transcend                          超越
    4.take on a new dimension            以新形式出现
    5.syndicated                         辛迪加的(指联合起来的)
    6.commercial fraud scam              商业诈骗
    7.drug trafficking                   走私毒品
    8.tackle corruption                  对付贪污
    9.border-less alliance               跨国联盟
    10.no room for                       无……的余地
