2019上半年翻译资格初级口译考试模拟试题：中国的历史和文化

　　I am interested in the oriental history and culture, particularly in the Chinese history and culture. I still remember till this day the remark of the late Chinese leader Mao Tse-tong, "It is the people, and the people alone, that is the motive force in the making of world history. "

　　Chinese people are the people of diligence and intelligence; they are the creators of oriental civilization. Both my government and people believe that friendship and cooperation with China is an essential part of our future work.

　　From what I have already seen in my short time here, and from the discussions which I have held, it is clear to me that there are indeed good prospects for an all-round cooperation between the United Kingdom and China, including both governmental and civil cooperation.

　　If my current visit can help to advance the friendship which already exists between us, then that in itself will be a source of great satisfaction to me and a benefit to all of us.
