【疯狂短评】
国家领导人召开的记者招待会是我们练习口译的最佳机会。在这种相当正式的记者招待会上，不但需要口译人员出色的英语翻译能力，还要求译员拥有灵活的应变力，适当时候进行意译或省译，并且能够准确地领会和把握发言人的意图和语气，表达发言人的情感。在我们为你精心挑选的片段中你可以体会到作为一名高级译员所需的技巧。请你将以下片段精彩演绎。
【Kim’s Note】Premiere Zhu definitely has a gift for communicating! His answers are always direct, to the point and well worded. He doesn’t give long vague answers. If he isn’t prepared to answer or doesn’t want to, he just says so! This no nonsense approach wins him a lot of respect in the international community. He is more than just a role model for English, he is also a role model for good communication skills in general!

Correspondent: Thank you. From Reuters. Premier Zhu, I noticed in your work report you included several elements『要素；成分』 of Jiang Zemin’s theories, including the Three Represents and Rule by Virtue. Since you’re famous for『以……而出名』 very plain, easy to understand language, can you explain to us what the Three Represents means to the man on the street, and also what Rule by Virtue means, as you plan to practice it.
【参考译文】
记者： 我是路透社记者。我们注意到在您的工作报告中，您谈到了江泽民主席的一些理论。比如说， “三个代表”的思想，“以德治国”的理念。（因为您以平实、易懂的语言著称，您能不能解释一下……）〖编者：该记者此处用语有些夸张做作，作为中方译员最好巧妙的省译。〗那么请问对于街上行走的普通人来说，“三个代表思想”对他们意味着什么，而你打算实施的“以德治国理念”对他们又意味着什么？

朱镕基： 我想江泽民主席提出的三个代表的思想，以德治国的理念，都是对马克思主义理论的发展。那么，也不是他一个人的意见，我们中央在这个问题上的意见是完全一致的。当然，你要我在这个地方来阐明这个思想，我想这不是时候，也许我们需要开一次国际研讨会。谢谢！
【参考译文】
Zhu Rongji: The theory of Three Represents and the philosophy of Rule of Virtue put forward『提出』 by President Jiang Zemin is actually the extension『伸展；伸长』 and development of Marxism theory. This is not the work of President Jiang Zemin himself, the entire CCCP committee has agreed on these points. But I don’t think today this is a fitting occasion『场合；时刻』 for me to give you a thorough elaboration『详尽的细节』, perhaps it would need an international seminar『研究会』 for a thorough discussion about the question you’ve raised. Thank you.

Correspondent: 我是亚太金融新闻社（记者）, but I won’t risk 『冒险于』speaking Chinese anymore. So I’ll stick to『忠于；坚持』 English. You mentioned earlier that there was going to be a reform『改革；革新』 in taxation system in the countryside, but there would still be a shortfall『不足；差额』 in demand the money that would be available『可用的』 and that this would require a reform of the education system in rural area. So if there is actually less money, how are you going to reform the educational system to give the very poor people who need a chance to have the education that everyone else is getting in urban areas? Thank you.
【参考译文】
记者： （我是亚太金融新闻社（记者）。）〖编者：由于此记者已用中文进行了自我介绍，所以此处就不必重复了。〗（请原谅我不敢再讲我的蹩脚中文了，我还是说英文好吧。）〖编者：此句在正式的记者招待会就不必译出来了。〗早些时候您在谈到税收改革的时候指出，改革以后，会有资金的短缺，因此需要对农村的教育进行改革，但是钱少了，怎样才能行农村教育的改革，从而确保农村地区的所有孩子跟城里的孩子一样得到应受的教育呢？谢谢！

朱镕基： 提得很好。
【参考译文】
Zhu Rongji: Very good question.

朱镕基： 我们得一定要实施我们已经预定的保证农村的义务教育的目标。钱不够，就加钱，而且应该把钱用得更加有效，也就是说还应该进行教育改革。
【参考译文】
Zhu Rongji: One thing is very clear. We’re determined to make sure that compulsory『义务的；必须做的』 education is made available to every child in the countryside. If there is a shortfall of financial resources then we can come up with more financial support. What is more, we should make more efficient『效率高的』 use of the money. And that is what I mean when I talk about the reform of the educational system in the countryside.

朱镕基： 明年的记者招待会我可能会对你这个问题回答得更加具体一些。谢谢！
【参考译文】
Zhu Rongji: I will be prepared to give you a more detailed answer, when I come back here to meet the next year. Thank you.
