以下是国际奥委会新闻宣传部部长吉赛尔.戴维斯(Giselle Davis)2008 年8月在国际奥委会北京奥组委例行新闻发布会的讲话节选:
Good morning everyone. Last night was one of the fantastic evening ceremonies, one that we will remember for the rest of our lives. The first coordination commission held this morning between the IOC and BOCOG started with President Rogge expressing to President of BOCOG Mr. Liu Qi, his sentiments on what he saw last night. He said it was really a remarkable event which combines the creativity and cultural history which managed to bring 5,000 years of history to the world through modern technology in modern means. It is very much demonstrated that the organization of the Games is ready, and how ready Beijing is to host the sport that starts today. Mr.Rogge’s words have set the stage for the 16 days for the competition.
As most of you are aware that Rogge also met with several world leaders discussing the Olympic Games, present and future and the issues that the IOC looks to partner with the government on namely, doping. Doping is not just for elite sports but for all the wider society, the importance of the sport in addressing health issues and on the education curriculum.
Just a couple more things before I hand the floor regarding broadcasting. We are waiting for the figures and statistics to come through regarding the Opening Ceremony. We still don’t have it today. As soon as we have them we will communicate them to you. But the first indication are that it will be quite stunning figures in terms of leadership around the world. It is going to be stunning figures in terms of the viewership. In any case this Olympic Games are said to be the most televised in history and the biggest broadcast event to date with unprecedented number of sports that will be covered in the next few days by thousands of cameras making some 5,000 hours of coverage. That is a record after the 3,500 hours for the Athens Games. Broadcast is around the world, with 220 countries and territories. It will be a very much digital Olympic with live broadband broadcast and mobile phone clips available freely across the world. As Mr. Wang Wei said, there are 7 gold medals in 18 sports today. Very much looking forward to the competition getting on the way. Thank you very much.

2.hand the floor:此处的floor原本是立法会议室或会议厅中立法人员就座和发 言所使用的位置。文中引申为“发言权”。hand the floor to someone就是指 “将发言权交给某人,请某人来发言”之意。
3.coverage:原为“覆盖、覆盖的范围”之意,通常引申为新闻报纸、电视报道等的"覆盖率或收视率"。

【口译培训】文章点评:
本文是国际奥委会新闻宣传部部长吉赛尔?戴维斯在北京奥组委例行新闻发布会上的致词。这类官方发言在语言上明显具有正式、严肃、准确等特征。致词的时间是在北京奥运会开幕的第二天,因此她采用了高度褒奖的语气来逐 步展开具体的说话内容。在口译过程中不仅要把握说话人的语气,更要注意区分语义的主次,突出主要信息的表达。看下面例句:
例1: The first coordination commission held this morning between the IOC and BOCOG started with President Rogge expressing to President of BOCOG Mr. Liu Qi, his sentiments on what he saw last night.
这句话的主要信息是罗格主席向刘淇主席表达了他对昨晚开幕式的感受。从下文中不难看出,罗格主席对开幕式给予高度的评价,因此可以判断他的感受 (sentiments)是很直观很强烈的。所以在翻译时,可以适当增加一些修饰词,比方说祝贺、激动等,来更确切地表达主信息。另一方面,事情发生的场合等在这个语境中属于次要信息,因此可以略微简化。比如first这个词就没有必要译出了。【口译培训www.yizhil.com】
