同期声,让俺怎么想都想不出来是啥意思。后来知道原来是“sound bite”。可是,同期声能表达些什么呢?愚民电视台有个节目好像叫做《影视同期声》,俺一直以为跟同声翻译之类的扯上关系。看下面英文解释,你就一清二楚了。

"主持人:
虽然沃尔福威茨作为世行新行长民调的基础不是很好,但是通过一些报道来看,好像布什总统本人和我而对新的职位还是非常充满自信的,接下来我们听一听布什总统在提名的时候,和沃尔福威茨在30号举行记者招待会的时候,他对新的职位的看法?
解说:
3月17号美国总统布什在讲到提名国防部副部长沃尔福威茨为世行下一届行长时这样评价他。
美国总统 布什:
沃尔福威茨是个经验丰富的管理人才,他曾经协助管理过很多大的机构,像五角大楼和世界银行的相关机构,他也是一个经验丰富的外交官,曾就职于国务院,也担任国美国驻印尼大使,出色地完成了代表美国的国家使命,他是个正直而富有激情的人,他会胜任世界银行的工作。 '
...
'主持人:
通过同期声我们可以了解到,布什总统对沃尔福威茨的评价还是非常高的,既然是布什总统一位得力的干将,而且是一个新保守主义的领军人物,很多决策的一个核心人物,那么为什么在这个时候布什总统做出了让它转换角色这样一个决定,他到底是出于一个什么样的考虑?'

The common definition of what a soundbite is:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soundbite
Soundbite
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
In film and broadcasting, a soundbite is a very short piece of footage taken from a longer speech or an interview in which someone with authority or the average "man on the street" says something which is considered by those who edit the speech or interview to be a most important point. As the context of what is being said is missing, the insertion of soundbites into news broadcasts or documentaries is open to manipulation and thus requires a very high degree of journalistic ethics. Politicians of the new generation are carefully coached by their spin doctors to produce on-demand soundbites which are clear and to the point.
A sound bite is an audiolinguistic and social communications phenomenon whose nature was recognized in the late 20th century, helped by people such as Marshall McLuhan. It is characterized by a short phrase or sentence that deftly captures the essence of what the speaker is trying to say. Such key moments in dialogue (or monologue) stand out better in the audience's memory and thus become the "taste" that best represents the entire "meal" of the larger message or conversation. Sound bites are a natural consequence of people placing ever greater emphasis on summarizing ever-increasing amounts of information in their lives.
News media in particular cherish sound bites. Reporters agree that the best news footage contains at least one sound bite. Politicians in turn have learned (along with their speechwriters) to put greater effort into delivering the perfect sound bite. Originality is not necessary but highly valued. Sound bites are useful to help guide footage editors focus on parts of dialogue that help advance the overall message.
Not everyone enjoys hearing sound bites. They tend to sound best when delivered unplanned, and the logical inverse is often true -- the planned sound bite can easily ring forced and cast doubt as to the speaker's integrity.
[edit]
Historical soundbites
Classic examples of sound bites include Ronald Reagan's demand that "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!" in reference to the increasing social pressure to remove the Berlin Wall. In this context, the well-delivered sound bite serves as a cultural icon that others are likely to know about.
Another memorable one is "Houston, Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed." In one succinct phrase, the entire Apollo Moon program was culminated and everything the US had worked so hard for was suddenly made real.
Sound bites from Shakespeare appear often in popular culture, even if the source of the sound bite is not known: "What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet." coming from Romeo and Juliet and "The quality of mercy is not strain'd" coming from The Merchant of Venice.
The quality of the best sound bite is that "the message hits home".
Margaret Mead said "Speak in Soundbites" And once there was SoundByte News from the early era of personal computers.

The common definition of what a soundbite is:

Soundbite
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
In film and broadcasting, a soundbite is a very short piece of footage taken from a longer speech or an interview in which someone with authority or the average "man on the street" says something which is considered by those who edit the speech or interview to be a most important point. As the context of what is being said is missing, the insertion of soundbites into news broadcasts or documentaries is open to manipulation and thus requires a very high degree of journalistic ethics. Politicians of the new generation are carefully coached by their spin doctors to produce on-demand soundbites which are clear and to the point.
A sound bite is an audiolinguistic and social communications phenomenon whose nature was recognized in the late 20th century, helped by people such as Marshall McLuhan. It is characterized by a short phrase or sentence that deftly captures the essence of what the speaker is trying to say. Such key moments in dialogue (or monologue) stand out better in the audience's memory and thus become the "taste" that best represents the entire "meal" of the larger message or conversation. Sound bites are a natural consequence of people placing ever greater emphasis on summarizing ever-increasing amounts of information in their lives.
News media in particular cherish sound bites. Reporters agree that the best news footage contains at least one sound bite. Politicians in turn have learned (along with their speechwriters) to put greater effort into delivering the perfect sound bite. Originality is not necessary but highly valued. Sound bites are useful to help guide footage editors focus on parts of dialogue that help advance the overall message.
Not everyone enjoys hearing sound bites. They tend to sound best when delivered unplanned, and the logical inverse is often true -- the planned sound bite can easily ring forced and cast doubt as to the speaker's integrity.

Historical soundbites
Classic examples of sound bites include Ronald Reagan's demand that "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!" in reference to the increasing social pressure to remove the Berlin Wall. In this context, the well-delivered sound bite serves as a cultural icon that others are likely to know about.
Another memorable one is "Houston, Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed." In one succinct phrase, the entire Apollo Moon program was culminated and everything the US had worked so hard for was suddenly made real.
Sound bites from Shakespeare appear often in popular culture, even if the source of the sound bite is not known: "What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet." coming from Romeo and Juliet and "The quality of mercy is not strain'd" coming from The Merchant of Venice.
The quality of the best sound bite is that "the message hits home".
Margaret Mead said "Speak in Soundbites" And once there was SoundByte News from the early era of personal computers.

My suggestion
My suggestion is to forget about “这个同期声” and translate it as "From Bush's speech, we can see that ...".
从Lesley提供的link可见,虽然该主持人“通过这个同期声”这番话是紧接着沃尔福威茨的讲话,但实际上该主持人指的是布什在前面讲的话。上述译法也许更明确。我认为翻译不必太拘泥于个别字眼。

解说:
3月17号美国总统布什在讲到提名国防部副部长沃尔福威茨为世行下一届行长时这样评价他。
美国总统 布什:
沃尔福威茨是个经验丰富的管理人才,他曾经协助管理过很多大的机构,像五角大楼和世界银行的相关机构,他也是一个经验丰富的外交官,曾就职于国务院,也担任国美国驻印尼大使,出色地完成了代表美国的国家使命,他是个正直而富有激情的人,他会胜任世界银行的工作。
解说:
3月30号在比利时首都布鲁塞尔的记者招待会上,沃尔福威茨说:
(沃尔福威茨的声音:) 我也知道自己是个有争议的人,但是我希望随着人们对我的了解,大家会知道我深深地理解我的工作任务。
对于在世界银行的工作,我深信帮助别人消除贫困是一项很荣耀的任务,没有什么比它更令人高兴了。
主持人:
通过同期声我们可以了解到,布什总统对沃尔福威茨的评价还是非常高的,既然是布什总统一位得力的干将,而且是一个新保守主义的领军人物,很多决策的一个核心人物,那么为什么在这个时候布什总统做出了让它转换角色这样一个决定,他到底是出于一个什么样的考虑?
