中级英语口译考试包括两部分内容。（1）英译汉（交替传译）：要求考生将一篇500词左右的英语发言译成汉语。（2）汉译英（交替传译）：要求考生将一篇700字左右的汉语发言译成英语。
口译考试采取听录音做翻译的方式。考生在语音室内戴耳机，听到一段英文或中文讲话录音后，把它们分别译成中文或英文并录到磁带上。录音的长度从初级的250词/字到高级的600至800词/字不等。
口译同笔译一样需要坚实的基本功，如果缺乏相应的语法和词汇知识以及驾驭它们的能力，提高翻译水平只能是一句空话。只有练习好语法和词汇基本功才能举一反三，灵活正确地搞好翻译，也才能在各类考试中取得高分。本书针对如何以汉语和英语基本功为基础以做到忠实原文，译文通顺方面给予精确到位的指导。
