我个人十分喜欢下面的一些口译小短文,有空的话就随手选出一段复习一下,只要我们能够持之以恒,口语和口译的能力就一定会有长足的进步!

1.连接亚欧两大洲的贸易通道"丝绸之路",全程长达七千公里,其历史可以追溯到公元前二世纪.

The 7,000-kilometer-long Silk Road,whose history dates back to the second century B.C.,has been known as a trade thoroughfare linking the Continents of Asia and Europe.

2.我旅行社安排的"丝绸之路游"始于西安古城,止于新疆首府乌鲁木齐.

"The Silk Road Tour"that this travel agency offers will follows a route beginning from the ancient city of Xi'an and ending at Urumqi,the capital of Xinjiang.

3.游客可以沿丝绸之路观赏美丽壮观的自然景观,欣赏古代艺术家高超的工艺,品尝丰富的地方风味小吃.

All along the route tourists will take pleasure in the magnificent natural landscape,appreciate the superior workmanship of ancient artists,and enjoy a variety of local delicacies.

4.丝绸之路沿途的大批历史文物,引人入胜的自然风景以及富有情趣的地方文化,使这条路线成了世界最精彩的旅游节目之一.

A wealth of historical relics,fascinating scenery and interesting local cultures along the Silk Road make this trip one of the world's most exciting tourist attractions.
