2017下半年翻譯考試中級(jí)口譯模擬試題（28）

　　【中譯英】

　　我總以為，在中國(guó)效率最高的會(huì)議要數(shù)學(xué)校召集的家長(zhǎng)會(huì)。家長(zhǎng)會(huì)完全符合“廉政建設(shè)”的要求，與會(huì)的家長(zhǎng)絕不會(huì)像參加行業(yè)、單位的一些會(huì)議，先看看會(huì)議地點(diǎn)是不是設(shè)在風(fēng)景旅游區(qū)，會(huì)后發(fā)不發(fā)紀(jì)念品之類，然后方?jīng)Q定是否參加。其他會(huì)議都難得準(zhǔn)時(shí)，惟有家長(zhǎng)會(huì)絕對(duì)正點(diǎn)召開。在家長(zhǎng)會(huì)上，家長(zhǎng)們個(gè)個(gè)全神貫注地傾聽、記錄，生怕漏掉一點(diǎn)內(nèi)容。不少會(huì)議都可列入可開可不開之列，但對(duì)于學(xué)校和家長(zhǎng)而言，家長(zhǎng)會(huì)則是必不可少的。

　　【參考譯文】

　　I always believe that the most efficient meeting in China is the parents’ meeting called by the school. The parents’ meeting, is in full conformity with the requirements for the “building of an honest and clean government”. With respect to meetings organized by a certain trade or the unit where one works, the person wants to know whether the venue of a meeting is in a scenic area frequented by tourists and whether gifts of souvenirs will be handed out after the meeting before he decides whether to go or not to go. But for the parents’ meeting, nobody will ever think of that. While other meetings are rarely convened on time, the parents’ meeting invariably starts with punctuality. At the parents’ meeting, every parent listens and takes notes with rapt attention lest he or she might miss anything. For many meetings, it does not really matter whether they are to be held or not, but to the school and the parents, the parents’ meeting is absolutely necessary.
