中國是一個統(tǒng)一的多民族國家，漢族人口占總?cè)丝诘?0%以上，包括藏族在內(nèi)的其他55個民族在習(xí)慣上被稱為少數(shù)民族。

1965年，西藏實(shí)行民族區(qū)域自治制度以來，西藏人民在中央政府的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)下，以主人翁的姿態(tài)積極參與管理國家和地方事務(wù)。

西藏自治區(qū)把實(shí)現(xiàn)跨越式發(fā)展作為經(jīng)濟(jì)和社會發(fā)展的目標(biāo)，把改善基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施條件、提高人民生活水平作為重點(diǎn)。

西藏人民積極投身現(xiàn)代化建設(shè)，深刻地改變了西藏貧窮落后的面貌，大大提高了自身物質(zhì)文化生活和政治生活水平。

參考答案

China is a united multi-ethnic country. The Han-Chinese population makes up more than 90 percent of the total population. The other 55 ethnic groups, including the Tibetan people, are customarily called ethnic minorities.

Since regional ethnic autonomy was implemented in 1965 in Tibet, the Tibetan people, in the capacity of masters of the nation and under the leadership of the Central Government, have actively participated in administration of the state and local affairs.

The Tibet Autonomous Region has set leapfrogging of stages of development as its target of economic and social development, and the improvement of the infrastructure and the people's living standard as the key.

The Tibetan people have been actively engaged in the modernization drive. As a result, they have profoundly changed the old situation of poverty and backwardness in Tibet, and greatly enhanced the level of their own material, cultural and political life.

點(diǎn)評

這是一篇禮儀性口譯，介紹了中國的國情和西藏的現(xiàn)狀。如今正積極推進(jìn)西部大開發(fā)，像這樣的考題出現(xiàn)在考試中的幾率也頗高。原文的第一段介紹了我們國家民族方面的國情，比較簡單，后面三段中政治性語言較多，較正式，經(jīng)常閱讀China Daily這類報紙的考生應(yīng)該會比較熟悉它們的表達(dá)方法。對于那些對這類詞匯掌握不多的考生來說，只有死記硬背一些套路句式，這些套路在國情、政策介紹，外事接待和改革開放的口譯題中也可以融會貫通。
