Q
什么是视译？
点击空白处查看答案
视译遵循顺句驱动原则，是一种同声传译训练的有效手段。
视译要求翻译人员可以在较短准备时间下，甚至在没有任何准备的前提下就能快速的实现书面符号的转换。翻译人员必须具有快速理解文本内容的能力，同时能够做到边看边译，不受其他视觉的干扰，能够做到“一心二用”。
掌握视译技巧不仅可以有效提高阅读、翻译速度，还能加深对文章理解，做到阅读翻译两不误。
期待新的2018，

Something old, something new
The monarchy is stronger than it has been for years—and the government weaker
01
A ROYAL wedding is as good a time as any
to conduct an audit of the British constitution.
Walter Bagehot, the editor of The Economist in 1860-77,
argued that the constitution was divided into two branches.
The monarchy represents the “dignified” branch.
Its job is to symbolize the state through pomp and ceremony.
The government—Parliament, the cabinet and the civil service—
represents the “efficient” branch.
Its job is to run the country by passing laws and providing public services.
The dignified branch governs through poetry, and the efficient branch through prose.
Today, the dignified branch is adapting to an age of populism
much better than the efficient branch.
02
Twenty-odd years ago it looked as if the monarchy was in an advanced state of decomposition.
The ill-starred marriage of Prince Charles and Diana Spencer undermined the monarchy’s claim to unify the country through dignity.
The couple’s squabbles divided supporters of Diana from a much smaller group of supporters of Charles,
and provided the tabloid press with a rich (and sickening) diet of gossip.
The queen capped it all with her handling of Diana’s death.
She said nothing for five days, burning decades of goodwill with her silence.
03
The Charles and Di debacle was one of several.
Prince Andrew and his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, were derided as “Air miles Andy” and “Freebie Fergie”.
The queen and Prince Philip looked out of place in “Cool Britannia”.
Prince Charles’s determination to marry Camilla Parker Bowles,
with whom he had conducted an affair while married to Diana,
further alienated the public.
