“ScalersTalk 口译进阶小组”的前身是“ScalersTalk 交传小组”，成立于 2015 年 2 月，现阶段，小组继续专注高级阶段的交替传译与同声传译训练，在巩固语言基本功的同时训练各类口译技能，从而为承担正式场合的口译打下坚实基础。 96 周起，小组全面引入 CATTI 新版二口教材的训练，时间为每天晚上 8 点到 9 点，训练期间播放录音、记笔记，在空白处按暂停键后做口译，用 QQ 发群语音，然后对照文档，查找漏译和错译的部分，标出口译时较为困难的词汇和表达，随时发到群里；每天早上 6 点到 7 点训练复述。
第 120周训练材料选自第11单元国际形势第一篇英译汉口译练习。小组成员利用该材料练习了交替传译和限时视译，并学习原文的词汇、表达和句型句式。设备建议：你需要电脑或手机播放音频、手机发送语音。本日志整理的是第 120周英译汉练习的内容。
Thank you for this opportunity to update the Security Council on the situation in Somalia. I thank His Excellency Henry Bllingham,United Kingdom Parliamentary Under Secretary of State, for chairing this meeting during his country's presidency of the Council. I commend the leadership and efforts of the United Kingdom to sustain international support for Somalia following the London conference. This is a critical moment for Somalia. Since my last briefing to the Council, three major developments have provided momentous impetus to the Somalia peace process. First, the Garowe II Consultative Conference held last month; second, the adoption of Security Council Resolution 2036 on an expanded and well-resourced AMISOM; and third, the London Conference held just 1l days ago.
感谢您给我这个机会向安理会通报索马里的最新局势。我感谢联合王国议会副大臣亨利·贝林厄姆先生主持本次会议，联合王国是本届安理会的轮值主席国。我赞赏联合王国在伦敦会议之后为维系对索马里的国际支持作出了努力并发挥了领导作用。现在对索马里来说是个关键时刻。自从我上次向安理会通报以来，三项重大进展为索马里的和平进程提供了重要推动力: 第一，上月举行了第二次加罗韦索马里全国制宪协商会议;第二，通过了安理会第2036 号决议，旨在扩大非洲联盟驻索马里特派团并为之提供充沛资源；第三，ll 天前刚刚举行了伦敦会议。

The London Conference occurred during a respite in Somalia's humanitarian crisis. Sustained high levels of humanitarian assistance and an exceptional harvest have improved the situation. However,this progress is extremely fragile and will likely deteriorate in the coming months as we move into the lean season before the next and most important harvest period in August.
