Which of the following is NOT a focal area of the Belt and Road Forum efforts?

【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】

解答该题需要排除可能相关但讲话中没有提及的项目。原话中提到了 5 项可交付成果清单,但没有提到high technology,所以正确选项是B。无论提到的5 项 是否都记得很清楚,只要能确定印象中没有的项目就可以答题。虽然该题本身只需 要根据考生印象中讲话没有提及high technology这一项就可以作答,但从口译实战的理想状态来说,翻译好这段原话需要通过比较娴熟的笔记技能记下5 项可交付成 果清单。这直接涉及考生平时培养的笔记习惯,需要记得简单快捷。逐一记下最后 一句中所提的 5 项可交付成果清单,即 policy, infrastructure,trade, financial and people-to-people connectivity。为了记得快捷,当然不需要把每个词写完整,而是要 用自己非常熟练、习惯的简写或符号。最后的people-to-people connectivity建议用 pp…来表示,但前提是固定下来,养成习惯。

[重点难点]
不受选择题中无关信息的干扰,把握与问题直接相关的关键词语。
