二、口譯技巧

1.詞性轉(zhuǎn)化
介詞轉(zhuǎn)化為動(dòng)詞
Sharp price cuts have brought plasma sets and other thin, flat-panel television out of high-end electronic boutiques and into thousands of mss-market outlets such as Costco, a wholesale buying club in the U.S.
大幅度的降價(jià)使等離子電視和超薄屏幕的電視機(jī)走出了高端的電子市場，進(jìn)入了向Costco這樣一家美國的大眾批發(fā)商店。

形容詞轉(zhuǎn)化為動(dòng)詞
The least expensive plasma sets still cost a hefty US$3,000 or more,
最便宜的等離子電視機(jī)的價(jià)格仍然高達(dá)3,000美金，

This sharpness is most vivid on screens that are 40 inches diagonal or larger.
這種優(yōu)勢在40英寸或更大的屏幕上效果最佳。

2.增詞
It is too early to write an obituary for bulky picture tubes, which will remain the most affordable TV sets for years to come.
宣告笨重的顯像管電視機(jī)的終結(jié)為時(shí)尚早，在未來的幾年中它仍是最便宜的電視機(jī)。（增加主體名詞）

3.語序調(diào)整
That increase, combined with expanding production capacity and improved technology, could very soon push the price of plasma sets down by one-third, according to analyst Richard Doherty of a US research firm.
美國一家研究公司的分析員Richard Doherty認(rèn)為：等離子電視銷售的增長，再加上生產(chǎn)能力的擴(kuò)大和技術(shù)的改善，會很快使等離子電視的價(jià)格下降1/3。（同時(shí)運(yùn)用增詞技巧）

and the tens of millions of panels being produced for that segment will help push down prices for LCD TVs, analysts predicted.
分析家們預(yù)測，為此市場所生產(chǎn)的幾千萬只顯示器將降低液晶電視的價(jià)格。

4.被動(dòng)與主動(dòng)之間相互轉(zhuǎn)化
The demand for thin screens is fuelled in part by the advent of DVDs and digital TV broadcasts, ⋯
對超薄屏幕電視機(jī)的需求部分原因是由于DVD和數(shù)字電視廣播的出現(xiàn)，（被動(dòng)轉(zhuǎn)化為主動(dòng)）

The best markets for plasma screens have been in Asia, and about half of the sets have gone to businesses instead of homes.
等離子屏幕的最佳市場在亞洲，而約一半為企業(yè)所購買，而不是家庭。（主動(dòng)轉(zhuǎn)化為被動(dòng)，也可理解為采用意譯的翻譯技巧）

5.插入語單獨(dú)成句
The glass panels at the heart of plasma and LCD sets come mainly from about a dozen companies with factories in Japan, South Korea, increasingly, China.
作為等離子和液晶電視主要元件的玻璃屏幕主要產(chǎn)自于日本、韓國和中國的十幾家公司。在中國的產(chǎn)量越來越大。

Sharp Electronics, for one, is betting heavily on LCDs.
