【口译培训】录音原文
Ladies and gentlemen：
Thanks a lot for your coming here. Today is the 150,h anniversary of ITOCHU. I would like to thank our shareholders because we could not have come this far without their support and guidance.
In the fiscal year ended March 2008, our company got consolidated net income of 218. 6 billion yen—achieving record earnings for the fourth consecutive year. Without a doubt natural resource price hikes contributed to that favorable performance, but in addition, our growth strategies are steadily bearing fruit.
During its 150-year history, our company has faced many sea changes in business conditions. At each of those pivotal moments^ we have looked upon change as a chance and always taken on the challenge of creating new businesses.
To create new businesses，we must read the tides of change correctly and tackle
change head-on. Such alertness and dynamism is essential for ITOCHU’s continuing growth and is the pioneering DNA that has driven our growth over the past 150 years.
As we prepare for the next 150 years, our initiatives are approaching a new phase.
As we take on those challenges, I would like to ask our shareholders for their further support and understanding.
Thank you again!

【口译培训】文章点评：
本段口译材料节选自伊藤忠商事(ITOCHU)株式会社社长在创业150周年的欢庆宴上的讲话。
语言较为正式，讲话中涉及较多的专业词汇和表达，句子较长，是本段材料口译的难点所在。另外，本段材料也包含了较多的数字，对口译的顺利进行也提出了挑战。
1、 In the fiscal year ended March 2008, our company got consolidated net income of 218.6 billion yen—achieving record earnings for the fourth consecutive year.伊藤忠商事在2008年3月会计年度合并净收人达到了2186亿日元，同时刷新了连续4个会计年度的历史最高记录。
【注释】“218. 6 billion yen”换算成中文,应当是2 186亿日元。数宇翻译是英语 口译中的一个难点，译员应非常熟悉数字之间的换算，在平时多加强此类的训 练，搞清楚汉语和英语在表达数字方面使用的两种不同的形式。译员可参照下面的内容进行换算:
一万 10 thousand
十万 100 thousand
千万 10 million
亿 100 million
十亿 1 billion
另外“fourth consecutive year”中的“year”应该也是指“fiscal year”，因此可译为“连续4个会计年度” .其他与“fiscal”一词有关的表达有:
(1)fiscal revenue 财政收人
(2)fiscal dividend 财政盈余
(3)fiscal charges 财政税收
(4)fiscal expenditure 财政支出
(5)fiscal budget 财政预算
(6)fiscal capital 金融资木
(7)fiscal administration 财政管理
(8)fiscal crisis 财政危机
2、At each of those pivotal moments, we have looked upon change as a chance and always taken on the challenge of creating new businesses。在关键时刻，我们公司每次都能将时代的变革作为契机，始终能够创造出新的商机。
【注释】“look upon change as a chance”可译为“将时代的变革作为契机”。
