“ScalersTalk口译进阶小组”的前身是“ScalersTalk交传小组”，该小组成立于2015年2月。现阶段，小组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。
第74周英译汉训练继续上周的主题，仍旧谈论城市发展与公共空间。本次材料为英国作家、城市历史学家、城市规划者Leo Hollis的演讲（视频网址：百度云链接 密码: jt3e），讨论的是城市的安与乐，强调城市可以从许多方面来促使我们变得更健康、富有、智能，更具有创新性，也更幸福。小组成员利用该材料练习了交替传译、同声传译和限时视译，并学习原文的词汇、表达和句型句式。汉译英的训练从本周开始复习之前练习的文章，每周练习两篇。本周复习的内容是Week 66-67习近平主席和Week68&69李克强副总理的演讲；2007年政府工作报告21段，不做日志整理。本日志整理的是第74周练习的英译汉部分。
so going to those big numbers, as Jeremy was saying in 2007 we became fifty percent urban. This is going to grow so that by 2050 it will be seventy-five percent urban and probably by the end of this century will be in almost ninety-nine point nine percent urban. This means that every single day 180,000 people arriving somewhere in the world at the door of the city, there are a hundred and eighty thousand people every day who want to become citizens, every single moment there are about 40 million Chinese people moving between the village and the city. So what does this all mean?
我们来看一下大数字。如杰里米所说，2007年我们有50%的城市人口，还会继续增长，到2050年将达到75%，到本世纪末会接近99.9%。这就是说每天有18万人进入城市，有18万人每天希望成为城市居民，每时每刻有4 000万中国人在迁移，穿梭在农村与城市之间。那么这意味着什么呢？
本小段的特点就是有很多数字，几乎是一句话一个数字，大脑明显受到了冲击，但是仍需要注意集中精神来应对。
“in 2007 we became fifty percent urban. This is going to grow so that by 2050 it will be seventy-five percent urban and probably by the end of this century will be in almost ninety-nine point nine percent urban”此处有三个用数字来表达的城市人口情况：
“in 2007 we became fifty percent urban”表示“2007年有50%的城市人口”；
“This is going to grow so that by 2050 it will be seventy-five percent urban”表示“还会继续增长，到2050年将达到75%”；
“probably by the end of this century will be in almost ninety-nine point nine percent urban”表示“到本世纪末会接近99.9%”；
脑容够的情况下全部译出是最好不过的，但是很多时候我们可以释放一些脑力，比如这三处，如果第一遍现场只能译出其中的两处或者只抓住其中一处也是无可厚非的。整句处理请见以上参考译文。
“This means that every single day 180,000 people arriving somewhere in the world at the door of the city, there are a hundred and eighty thousand people every day who want to become citizens”前后两句的意思相近，可只译其中一句（当然时间足够的前提一下，能够全部处理最好），译作“这就是说每天有18万人进入城市，有18万人每天希望成为市民”。
She lived on 555 Hudson Street in Greenwich Village in Manhattan.
她住在哈德逊街555号，格林尼治，位于曼哈顿。
她住在曼哈顿。
本句为地址，一般而言在现场会提供，熟记即可；或者只译大地名，如此处可以只译 “曼哈顿”。
She saw that this interweaving of ordinary lives in an ordinary Street on an ordinary day created something that was more than the sum of its parts, that there was some electricity that occurred here that you couldn't necessarily engineer that it came about naturally through the complexity of an ordinary urban street.
她看到相互交织的普通生活就出现平凡的街道上，每一天创造出一些东西，它们大于部分之和；有灵感会出现，不必刻意设计出来，它是自然出现的，来自复杂而又平常的城市街道。
engineer 此处做动词，较少出现在平时的训练材料当中。原意为“造出……”，此处解读为“设计”。
The second is equality, equality is the thing that really, inequality is one of the things that really undermines trust and we're becoming increasingly unequal if you consider that London is now the top 10% is 300 times richer than the bottom ten percent.
第二是平等。平等就是这样。不平等真的会有损信任。我们变得越来越不平等。伦敦顶层10%的人的财富300倍于底层10%的人。
“equality is the thing that really, inequality is one of the things that really undermines trust”此处演讲人有个口误，将“inequality”说成了“equality”，于是改口时加重了语气。处理时可以将原话模糊处理，然后回归正题。
“if you consider that London is now the top 10% is 300 times richer than the bottom ten percent”一句有比较级，需要特别注意。首先“if you consider”不译，然后将“richer”处理成“财富”而不是“富裕”。整个句子译为“伦敦顶层10%的人的财富300倍于底层10%的人。”
