一、关于口译的“听”
听英文：
(1) 要具备扎实的语音知识和发音能力，只有这样才能使音和意挂钩起来，不然的话，一定会张冠李戴。比如，Tibet 听成tobacco, president Lincoln 听成 president Clinton.

(2) 学会抓住一句话或者一个语段的中心意思，而不要抓住每一个词的个别意思，要善于将前后的意群联系起来理解。例如：
Natural changes in the climate are probably to blame for the unusual weather conditions in many parts of the world.

(3)要学会从第一句来预测整段的思路和意向，因为文章的首句通常是topic sentence. 其后的几句大多是从原因，结果，条件，时间，空间等方面进行说明或阐述的。
例：I should also like to take this opportunity to thank the countless volunteers from so many nations, who rushed to Japan to help with the relief and reconstruction efforts after the earthquake in 1995.

建议大家平时在练习听力的时候，多听一些英文长句子，长度可以逐渐加长。

听中文：
强制记忆，尤其是短时记忆一些不熟悉的，没有规律的文字。

二、关于口译的“记”
两个原则：
1.大脑记忆为主，笔记为辅。
2.数字，时间，人名，地名一定要记下来。

例1
1. Thank you, Mr. deputy mayor, for your warm remarks. Now I should like to offer a few of my own on behalf of the Johnson Corporation.
