第八篇中餐烹饪与菜系
说起中餐，人们都知道中餐烹饪以其“色、香、味、形”俱全而著称于世。中国悠久的历史、广袤的疆土、好客的习俗，这些都孕育了中餐烹饪的独特艺术。中餐烹饪讲究原料的选配、食物的质地、佐料的调制、切菜的刀工、适时的烹调，以及装盘艺术。最负盛名的中餐菜系有南方的粤菜、北方的鲁菜、东部的淮扬菜和西部的川菜，素有“南淡北咸，东甜西辣”之特点。
In terms of Chinese food, it is popularly recognized that Chinese cuisine is world-famous for its perfect combination of “color, aroma, taste and appearance”. China’s unique culinary art owes itself to the country’s long history, vast territory and hospitable tradition. Chinese cuisine gives emphasis to the selection of raw materials, the texture of food, the blending of seasonings slicing techniques, the perfect timing of cooking and the art of laying out the food on the plate, among the best-known schools of Chinese culinary tradition are the Cantonese cuisine of the south, the Shandong cuisine of the north, the Huai-Yang cuisine of the east and the Sichuan cuisine of the west. These four major varieties of Chinese food have been traditionally noted as “the light flavor of the south, the salty flavor of the north, the sweet flavor of the east and the spicy-hot flavor of the west”.
第九篇全面合作
我们双方已一致同意建立面向21世纪的睦邻互信伙伴关系。为了实现这个目标，我愿在这里提出以下几点意见：
Our two sides have agreed to establish a good-neighborly partnership of mutual trust oriented towards the 21st century. To reach this goal, I would like to offer my observations as follows:
——充分运用已经确立的全面对话合作机制，拓展双方在各个领域、各个层次、各个渠道的交流与合作，加强双方领导人和各界人士之间的交往，增进信任，扩大共识，加强友谊。
We should make the best use of the existing mechanism of all-round dialogue and cooperation to broaden our exchanges and cooperation in all areas, at all levels and through all channels, and strengthen the exchanges and contacts between leaders and people from all walks of life of our two sides to enhance our mutual trust, expand common ground and promote friendship.
——本着优势互补、互利互惠的原则，把双方经贸、科技合作摆到重要地位，加强在资源、技术、市场、金融、信息、人力资源开发以及投资等领域的合作，以利于相互促进，共同发展。
We should give priority to our economic relations and trade, scientific and technological cooperation between our two sides in accordance with the principle of drawing on each other’s comparative advantages and mutual benefit and reinforce the cooperation in the areas of resources, technology marketing, banking, information, human resources development and investment to promote common progress.
——在一些重大的地区和国际问题上，在联合国、亚太经合组织、亚欧会议以及东盟地区论坛中，加强双方的相互对话，相互协调，相互支持，共同维护发展中国家的正当权益，促进发展中国家公正平等、不受歧视地参与国际经济决策和运行。
We should intensify two-way dialogue, coordination and mutual support between our two sides on major regional and international issues and in the United Nations, APEC(Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation), AES(Asia-Europe Summit) and ARF(ASEAN Regional Forum) with a view to jointly safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of the developing countries and promoting their fair and equal participation in the international economic decision-making and operation without discrimination.
——继续通过平等友好协商，处理彼此间存在的一些分歧和争议，寻求问题的逐步解决。有些分歧一时解决不了，可以暂时搁置，求同存异，而不要因此影响双方睦邻互信伙伴关系的建立和发展。
We should continue our efforts in handling the existing differences or disputes through friendly consultations on an equal footing and seek a progressive solution to the problems. Those differences that cannot be solved for the time being may be shelved temporarily in the spirit of seeking common ground while putting aside differences so that they will not stand in the way of the establishment and development of the good-neighborly partnership of mutual trust between the two sides.
中国始终不渝地奉行独立自主的和平外交政策，中国队外政策的最高宗旨是和平。中国是世界上最大的发展中国家，社会生产力水平总的还比较低，还要经过几十年的艰苦奋斗才能实现现代化，需要有长期的和平国际环境，尤其是睦邻友好环境。今后中国发达起来了，仍将继续坚持和平共处5项原则，与世界各国相互尊重，平等相待，友好相处，决不称霸。中国永远是维护世界和地区和平与稳定的坚定力量。
China pursues unswervingly an independent foreign policy of peace, taking peace as the ultimate goal. As the largest developing country in the world with a relatively low level of productive forces on the whole, China needs a long term peaceful international environment and a good
neighborly environment in particular to realize its modernization program through decades of arduous struggles. Even when China is developed, it will continue to adhere to the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence, live with other countries in amity in the spirit of mutual respect and treating others as equals, and never seek hegemony. China will always be a staunch force in maintaining regional and global peace and stability.第十篇新闻自由
新闻自由是一个相对的词。我认为，第一新闻应该不受限制；第二，新闻应该对社会负责；第三，新闻应该促进社会稳定与进步。这三个方面互为联系，同等重要，不可分割。片面强调某一方面会带来问题，因而是有害的。
Freedom of the press is a relative term. In my opinion, firstly, the press should be unrestrained; secondly, the press should be responsible to society; and thirdly, the press should promote social stability and progress. The three aspects are integrated, equally important and inseparable. It is harmful to one-sidely stress only one aspect, as this would cause some problems.
美国也曾经面临过这样的局面，最初极其崇尚自由主义，而对自由主义的强调不当造成了滥用新闻自由概念的结果。这是新闻理论发展的第一阶段。后来美国新闻业发现了闻，于是提出了负责任的新闻这个概念，或者叫作社会责任理论，新闻理论于是进入了第二个发展阶段。现在世界已进入一个和平与发展的后冷战时期。全世界人民都渴望有一个稳定的、进步与和平发展的社会环境。他们真诚地希望媒体在促进社会稳定和进步方面发挥更大的作用，不要引起社会动荡与退步。我认为，这个后冷战时期标志着新闻理论已进入第三个发展时期。我认为，目前中国的传播媒体正在努力实践我前面所讲的三点。
The United States once faced this situation. It had much esteem for Liberalism at the very beginning. However, its undue emphasis on this idea resulted in the excessive abuse of the freedom of the press. This was the first period of development of the press theory. Later on, the American press perceived their own problems and therefore, put forward the concept of the responsible press, or the theory of social responsibility, bringing the development of the press theory into the second period of development. Now the world has entered a pose-cold-war period of peace and development. People all over the world yearn for a social environment characterized by stability, progress and peaceful development. They earnestly hope the media will play an even greater role in promoting social stability and progress, instead of causing social
turbulence and retrogression. This post-cold-war period, I believe, characterizes the emerging third period of development for the press theory. In my opinion, China’s media is striving to put the three aspects I mentioned earlier into practice.
西方媒体对中国的许多报道是不正确的，有时是非常不客观的，是非常不公正的。西方报纸很少报道中国的发展，它们感兴趣的不是中国的快速进步，而是存在的困难和问题。如果人们只依据这些报道，无视中国的现实，那么中国在他们脑海里便是一个很快就要垮台的社会。而事实恰恰相反，中国是一个政治上非常稳定的社会，是一个经济上快速发展的国家。Many reports on China by the media of the West are not accurate, and sometimes very unobjective and very unfair. Reports on China’s development are rarely seen in Western newspapers. They show little concern for China’s rapid progress, but care only about the difficulties and problems. If one relied only on those reports and ignored the reality of China, the picture of China in one’s mind would be a society soon to collapse. But quite on the contrary, China in fact is a politically very stable society and economically rapid growing country.
我们经常报道政府工作中存在的问题。读者可以从中发现，我们对这些问题的报道完全不同于西方的报道。我们知道在发展过程中产生这些问题在所难免。我们报道的目的是让人民为解决这些问题献计献策，而不是激发社会的动荡不安，引起误解，甚至歪曲事实。新闻媒介只有这样进行报道，才会被视为对社会的负责。
We often report problems that exist in the government’s work. Readers may find that our reports on these problems are totally different from Western reports. We know these issues arose naturally in the process of our development. The purpose of our report is to let people offer solutions to these problems, not to stir up social turmoil and lead to misunderstandings and even to the distortion of what is really happening. Only by reporting in this way can a news medium be regarded as responsible to society.

第十二篇国际禁毒日
今天是国际禁毒日。我们高兴地看到，世界各国正携起手来向毒品宣战。16天前，联合国大会结束了为期三天的世界反毒品特别会议，从而吹响了规模空前的全球反毒战的号角。
Today is the International Day against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking. To our delight, countries around the world are joining hands to combat illicit drug abuse. Sixteen days ago, the General Assembly of the United Nations concluded a three-day Special Session on fighting the world drug problem, sounding a clarion call for an unprecedented worldwide war against drugs.
人类将要迎接一个新的千年，解决毒品问题显得越来越紧迫。尽管许多国家加强了反毒品的力度，可是毒品市场的泛滥状况越来越严重。据估计，全球毒品的贸易额已达到每年4000亿美元之巨。吸毒者约占全世界人口的3%。统计数据表明，每年全世界死于毒品者达10万人之多，另外还有1千万吸毒者丧失工作能力。
As mankind is about to embrace a new millennium, the drug issue takes on an even greater urgency. Despite of strengthened anti-drug efforts of many countries, the spread of illicit drugs averages US$400 billion each year. Illicit drug consumption involves about 3 percent of the w orld’s population. Statistics indicate as many as 100,000 people die from drugs every year worldwide, and 10 million drug users are deprived of the capability to work.
毒品问题直接关系到社会稳定与安全，关系到全人类的命运。世界各国都应该充分意识到反毒任务的紧迫性，要采取切实有效的措施扫除毒魔。中国政府始终十分关注毒品问题，并通过法律、政治、行政、经济、文化、教育和其他手段来综合治理吸毒贩毒问题。最近在北京举办的全国反毒展览会已吸引了50万参观者。展览会的目的是集中揭露毒品对社会和家庭造成的危害。
The drug issue has direct bearing on social stability, social security and the destiny of mankind as a whole. All countries in the world should be fully aware of the pressing and demanding task of combating drugs and take concrete and effective measures to wipe out the evil. The Chinese Government has always paid great attention to drug control and taken an integrated approach to deal with drug abuse and drug trafficking through legal, political, administrative, economic, cultural, educational, and other means. A recent national drug prevention exhibition staged in Beijing drew half a million visitors so far. The exhibition was intended to spotlight the damage drugs inflict upon society and family.
越来越多的人，尤其是年轻人，他们或出于无知，或为了寻求刺激，或受到其他吸毒者的影响，成了毒品的牺牲品。在全国登记在案的吸毒人员中，80%为年轻人。因此，中国的反毒战任重而道远。我们首先要做的是提高人们对毒品危害的认识，给吸毒者以更多的帮助，使他们戒除不良的习惯，实施更严厉的法规打击毒品犯罪行为。
Out of ignorance, or driven by their desire for stimulus, or simply influenced by drug-users, a growing number of people, especially youngsters, have fallen victim to drugs. Of the drug addicts registered throughout the country, 80 percent of them are youths. Therefore, much still remains to be done in China’s anti-drug campaign. On top of the agenda, there is the need to raise people’s awareness of the harm of drugs, to provide more help for drug addicts to get rid of the unhealthy habit and to enforce stricter laws for drug related crimes.
我们希望各国政府在国际反毒合作中担负起应有的责任，将法网撒向毒品市场的每个环节，为我们的后代创建一个无毒的世界。
We hope governments around the world will take their due responsibilities in international anti-drug cooperation, and spread the net of justice over every link of the drug market, so that a drug-free world will be created for our future generations.
第十三篇民主化进程
中国这个有着9亿农民的世界上人口最多的国家，民主化进程正在发生着新的深刻变化—在大约100万的村落中，群众公开地推选出自己拥护的领头人，这就是10年来在中国广大农村推行的村民委员会选举。民主意识的春风细雨，滋润着辽阔的中国大地。
The process of democratization has made much headway in China, the world’s most populous country with 900 million farmers. In som e one million rural villages, residents have elected their favorite leaders to make up the villagers’ committee. This election breeze, which originated a decade ago and has thus swept across the country’s vast rural areas, has helped foster and enhance the consciousness of democracy of the vast number of Chinese farmers.
村委会选举的实践表明，凡是经过广大农民群众依法直接选举产生的村委会干部，绝大多数为人正直，工作能力强，工作作风比较好，懂经济，会管理，是带领村民致富奔小康，建设富裕、民主、文明的社会主义新农村的带头人。最新一轮换届选举资料显示，新当选的村委会成员教育程度不断提高，年龄结构日趋合理。初中文化程度占70%以上，有些还是大专、大学学历。在全国，30岁左右的年轻人进入村委会的大到60%。农村基层干部队伍的整体素质明显提高。
The practice of village committee elections shows that the majority of committee cadres directly elected by the farmers in accordance with the law are upright and capable, have a good style of administration, and know economics and management. They are leaders who can help their fellow villagers get on the road leading to a comfortable life, reach a moderate level of prosperity and build new socialist village which are prosperous, democratic and cultured. Studies of the latest round of election indicate that the newly elected members of villagers’ committees are better educated and younger in age: about 70% have received junior middle school education while a few have received a junior college of university education. Young people around the age of 30 make up 60% of the membership of the newly elected villagers’ committees. The overall quality of the contingent of rural grassroots cadres has improved significantly.
民主意识的生长正是从最基层的村级选举，从农民生活中，从身边熟悉的人开始的。在村委会的选举中，村民们通过选民登记、候选人提名、预选、参加投票这一项项活动，得到了实实在在的民主训练，开始培育起民主意识和法制观念。
A sense of democracy has indeed grown from the most elementary village-level election, and from the election of the people familiar to the farmer voters. In the course of election, the farmers have received actual democratic training from the process of registrating as voters, nominating candidates, pre-electing and casting votes. This process has also fostered their sense of democracy and law.
中国政府认为，扩大基层民主，保证人民群众直接行使民主权力，依法管理自己多时期，创造自己的幸福生活，是社会主义民主最广泛的实践；并要求城乡基层政权机关和基层群众性自治组织都要健全民主选举制度，实行政务公开和财务公开，让群众参与讨论和决定基层公共事务和公益事业，对干部实行明主监督。
The Chinese government holds that it is the most extensive practice of socialist democracy to expand grassroots democracy, ensure the people their right in direct democratic election, and allow the citizens to manage their own affairs in accordance with the law and build a happy life. The government requires all urban and rural grass-roots organs of political power and grass-roots public self-governing organizations to perfect the democratic electoral system, separate administrative management from financial management, and let the general public participate in the discussion of and make decisions about grass-roots public and welfare concerns, as well as exercise democratic supervision over cadres.
进一步搞好村委会选举，是中国亿万农民的共同心愿，也是中国推进政治体制改革和民主政治建设的需要。随着中国经济的持续发展和社会全面进步，中国的民主建设将更加广泛，中国的民主化进程也将进一步加快。The improvement on the process and procedure in the election of villagers’ committee will not only reflect the common aspiration of China’s hundreds of millions of farmers, but also meet China’s need to facilitate her national drive for political restructuring and democratization. In the process of the country’s sustained economic development and overall social progress, China’s construction of democracy will be m ore extensive and meanwhile, its democratization process will speed up.
第十四篇年会致词
主席先生，我怀着非常愉快的心情出席本次年会。值此大会开幕之际，我为能有机会就和平与发展问题进行发言，谨向东道主致以深深的谢意。与此同时，我想所有与会代表致以崇高的敬意。
Mr.Chairman, it is with great pleasure that I am here to attend this annual meeting. On the occasion of this opening ceremony, I would like to express my deep appreciation to the host for this opportunity to address the topic of peace and development, and pay my high respect for all the representatives present at the meeting.
这次会议为我们交换意见、消除误解、达成共识提供了理想的场所。我愿借此机会，就世纪之交建立一种世界政治与经济新格局，世界和平与发展的前景，以及联合国的作用等问题，阐述我国政府的立场和观点。
This meeting provides us with an ideal arena where we will exchange views, clear up misunderstandings and reach common ground. I would like to take this opportunity to elaborate on the position and views of my government on the issues concerning the establishment of a new international political and economic order at the turn of the century, the prospects of world peace and development, and the role of the United Nations.
第十五篇中国的军事战略
中国的国际政策和军事战略始终是积极防御，这是中国根据自己的国际关系准则和外部安全环境做出的基本战略选择，也是优秀的中国军事传统在新时代的延续和升华。
China’s international policy and military strategy have always been those of positive defense. This is the basic strategic choice China has made according to its norms governing international relations and to its external security environment. It also reflects the continuation and distillation of China’s outstanding military tradition in the new era.
中国军事传统的基本特色是谋求和平。对内主张坚决维护国家统一，反对民族分裂；对外一贯奉行睦邻友好的方针和防御战略，以“非攻”球和睦，以自卫保安宁。万里长城所象征的就是这种防御观念。中华人民共和国自建立之日起，就始终坚持在统一中求强盛，在强盛中求和平，在和平中求发展。随着时间的推移，人们越来越清楚地看到，中国有决心和能力保卫自己多国家安全利益，中国是维护地区与世界和平的重要力量。
China’s military tradition is characteristically one of seeking peace. Under this peace-seeking policy, internally, we resolutely defend national unity and oppose to any attempt at national separation; externally, we follow a good-neighborly policy and a defensive strategy, seeking friendly and harmonious relations through what is known as the “non-offensive”
approach and securing peace through self-defense. The Great Wall is symbolic of such a defensive concept. Ever since its founding, the People’s Republic of China has been consistently seeking prosperity through unification, seeking peace through prosperity, and seeking development through peace. With the passage of time, it will be even more apparent to the world that China is determined to defend its national security and is capable of doing so, and that China is an important force in safeguarding regional and global peace.
中国的社会主义制度和独立自主的和平外交政策，也决定了中国奉行积极防御的国防政策和军事战略方针。中国不搞霸权主义，不搞强权政治，不对外搞军事扩张。中国的战略疆界不会超出其自然疆界，中国军事力量的发展也不会超出防御和自卫的需要。中国多次进行裁军，充分显示了中国军事战略的和平宗旨和防御性质，同时也反映了在和平与发展的时代主题下，中国的理性战略思维和新的安全观念。
Meanwhile, China’s socialist system and independent foreign policy of peace have determined the c ountry’s national defense policy and military strategy to be one of active defense. China doe not seek hegemony and power politics, neither does it expand its military influence overseas. China’s strategic frontier will not go beyond its natural borders. L ikewise, China’s military force will not develop in excess of its need to defend the country. China’s repeated disarmament has fully demonstrated to the world the peaceful orientation and defensive nature of China’s military strategy, as well as China’s ra tional strategic military thinking and updated concept of security under the theme of our times, that is, peace and development.
中国的裁军决策是由中国主动做出的，不是屈服于任何人的压力而被迫作出的；是自觉的，不是盲目的；是以对中国的发展、亚太地区安全以及世界持久和平高度负责的精神而采取的建设性举措。中国的裁军行动是单方面的，没有设置任何前提，不与他国相联系，不把裁军作为迫使他国同时裁军的筹码或先决条件。中国的裁军不是象征性的，而是实质性的，是大幅度的。中国以自己多裁军实际行动表达了中国不参加军备竞赛、努力缔造和平的诚意。
China’s disarmament decision is made out of its own will, rather than under any external pressure. It is a conscious act, rather than a blind move; it is a constructive act taken out of a high sense of responsibility for China’s own development, the security of Asian-Pacific region and the sustainable world peace. China’s disarmament act is unilateral, carrying no prerequisite, having nothing to do with any other country. China has
no intention whatsoever to use disarmament as a means or prerequisite to force other countries to reduce their military troops with China. China’s disarmament is not symbolic, but actual and substantial. China has shown to the world with its initiative in disarmament, its non-engagement in arms race and its sincerity in building a peaceful world.
第十六篇中加经贸关系
我非常高兴能在此会见来自大洋彼岸的加拿大商业界的朋友。“有朋自远方来，不亦乐乎。”这句古话可以表达我此刻的心情。
I am very pleased to meet my friends from the Canadian business community on the other side of the Pacific. My current feeling can be best expressed by an ancient Chinese remark:“How delightful I am to have friends coming from afar!”
中国政府十分重视同加拿大双边经贸关系的发展，并且非常赞赏加中贸易理事会为加强我们这两个伟大国家商业界的联系而作出的努力和起到的桥梁作用。我感谢理事会所有成员为促进加中贸易作出的努力。加拿大是一个工业发达、资源丰富的国家，中国则是一个劳动力充足、市场巨大的国家。我们希望看到加拿大的企业能够充分利用自己在技术和财力上的优势，赢得中国市场。
The Chinese government attaches great importance to the development of bilateral economic and trade relations and appreciates the efforts made by Canadian-Chinese Trade Council serving as a bridge linking the business communities of our two great nations. I commend all the members of the Council for their efforts in promoting trade with China. Canada is a country with well-developed industries and abundant resources, while China has a plentiful supply of labor force and a potential huge market. We hope to see Canadian enterprises make full use of their technical and financial advantages and compete well in the Chinese market.
第十七篇睦邻互信伙伴关系
今天，我有机会同东盟九国的领导人首次会晤，探讨发展中国与东盟各国面向二十一世纪的友好合作，感到十分高兴。首先，我对东盟成立三十周年，表示热烈的祝贺。
Today I feel more than happy to have the opportunity to gather together with leaders of nine ASEAN countries for the fires time to discuss and explore the development of Chinese-ASEAN friendship and cooperation oriented toward the 21st century. First of all, I wish to offer my warm congratulations to ASEAN on its 30th anniversary.
我相信，这次会晤将标志着中国与东盟关系进入一个新的发展阶段。
This meeting, I believe, marks the beginning of a new stage of development in Chinese-ASEAN relations.
我这次来，是抱着积极参与、扩大共识、增进互信、加强合作的目的，与东盟各国领导人共同探讨双方未来的发展目标和指导方针。
With the purpose of engaging active participation broadening common ground, enhancing mutual trust and strengthening cooperation, I have come here to explore together with ASEAN leaders the objectives and guidelines for the development of our future relations.
我们正处在世纪之交的重要时刻，应该以长远的战略眼光审视和处理双方关系，建立中国与东盟面向二十一世纪的睦邻互信伙伴关系。这不仅符合时代的潮流，有利于中国和东盟各国的根本利益，也有利于推动建立公正合理的国际新秩序，有利于促进亚洲与世界和平与发展的崇高事业。
At this important historical juncture on the eve of the new century, we should approach and handle our bilateral relations from a long-rang strategic perspective and forge a Chinese-ASEAN good-neighborly partnership of mutual trust orientated toward the 21st century. This is not only in conformity with the trend of the times and in the fundamental interest of China and ASEAN countries, but also facilitates the establishment of a just and rational new international order and the advancement of the lofty cause of peace and development of Asia and the world at large.
中国人民和东盟各国人民都是勤劳勇敢、聪明智慧的人民，自古以来就在自己的土地上创造了灿烂的文明，形成了具有东方色彩的优秀文化传统，为人类的进步作出了重要的贡献。中国与东盟各国或山水相连，或隔海相望，在悠久的交往中，人民之间形成了深厚的传统友谊。
Both the Chinese and the ASEAN people are industrious and courageous people full of wisdom. Since ancient times, they have created brilliant civilizations and built up fine cultural traditions full of Oriental character in their own lands, thus making important contributions to the progress of humanity. Joined together by mountains and rivers or facing each other across the sea, China and ASEAN countries have developed a profound traditional friendship among the people in the course of their age-old contacts and exchanges.
中国和东盟国家都发生了沧海巨变。中国人民经过一个世纪的奋斗和牺牲，实现了民族解放，建立了新中国，又经几十年的努力，把自己国家建设成为一个初步繁荣昌盛的社会主义国家。东盟国家人民经过长期的艰苦奋斗，挣脱殖民主义的枷锁，赢得民族独立，自建设自己国家的过程中取得了令人称道的成就。
Profound changes have taken place in both China and ASEAN countries. Through a century-long struggle and sacrifice, the Chinese people won their national liberation and established the New China. With decades of more efforts, they have built China into a socialist country with initial prosperity. Through protracted and arduous struggle, the people of ASEAN countries have also shaken off the yoke of colonialism, won their national independence and scored commendable achievements in their course of nation building.
悠久的传统友谊，相似的历史遭遇，维护和平与发展经济的共同愿望，是加强中国与东盟各国睦邻互信、友好合作的历史和现实的重要基础。中国历来十分重视发展与东盟的关系，支持东盟在地区和国际事务中发挥积极作用。近十年来，中国与东盟各国和东盟组织的关系取得了长足进展。特别是中国与东盟成为全面对话伙伴以来，双方的关系发展到了一个新的水平。
The time-honored traditional friendship, similar historical experience and common desire for peace and economic development constitute and important basis both in history and at present for the enhancement of the good-neighborly relations of mutual trust and friendly cooperation between China and ASEAN countries. China has all along attached great importance to developing its relations with ASEAN and is in support of a positive role by ASEAN in regional and international affairs. In the past decade, China’s relations with each ASEAN country and AS EAN as an organization have made considerable headway and reached a new level following the establishment of a Chinese-ASEAN partnership with full dialogue.
展望二十一世纪，可以坚信，中国与东盟各国的发展、繁荣和友好合作，前景将更加美好。
Looking into the 21st century, we are convinced that there lies an even brighter future for the development, prosperity, friendship and cooperation between China and ASEAN.

第十九篇上海的魅力
上海市世界上最大的港口城市之一。这座昔日远东第一大都市已发展成为中国重要的经济、金融、贸易、科技、信息和文化中心。作为一座历史文化名城，上海以她独特的风韵吸引了数以百万计的海内外游客。上海同时也是美食家的乐园，全市数以千计的餐馆汇集了国内外各大名菜，尤其是上海的本帮菜，特别受到海外人士的青睐。
Shanghai is one of the world’s largest seaports. Formerly the largest metropolis of the Far East, Shanghai has become China’s important center of economy, finance, trade, science and technology, information and culture. As a noted historic and cultural city, Shanghai attracts millions of tourists from home and abroad with its unique charm. Shanghai is also a cherished paradise for gourmets, boasting thousands of restaurants serving a complete list of well-known Chinese and international cuisines, among which the Shanghai food enjoys particular popularity among overseas visitors.
位于市中心地人民广场的上海博物馆是国内外著名的中国古代艺术博物馆，馆内收藏各类珍贵文物达12万余件，包括青铜器、陶瓷器、书法、绘画、佛像雕塑、玉器、钱币、玺印等21个门类。馆内的展品起自6000年前的史前工艺品，历经各国历史时期，所展示的名作和精品为数甚多。上海博物馆采用了先进的消防安保、电化教育、文物图书资料电脑管理和楼宇自动化管理等系统。
Situated in the downtown’s People’s Square, the world-famous Shanghai Museum features varied works of ancient Chinese art. The museum keeps a collection of over 120,000pieces of precious cultural relics in 21 categories, such as bronzeware, ceramics, calligraphic works, paintings, Buddhist sculptures, jadeware, coins and imperial seals. Included in the carefully selected exhibits are a sizable number of fine works of famous
artists and authors from various periods of history dating as far back as 6,000 years ago. The museum is installed with advanced security and fire alarm systems, multimedia educational facilities, a computerized resources library and building maintenance automation system.
最引人入胜的建筑物当属位于黄浦江畔的东方明珠塔。上海人引以为自豪的东方明珠塔高468米，为亚洲第一、世界第三高塔，由3根擎天大柱和11个大小不一的球体组成。登上观光层，或俯视浦江对岸的外滩万国建筑博览群，或举目鸟瞰全市，无限风光，尽收眼底，令人心旷神怡，流连忘返。
The most attractive work of architecture is no other than the Oriental Pearl Tower standing by the bank of the Huangpu River. The 468-meter-tall Oriental Pearl Tower, in which the local residents take so much pride, ranks the tallest in Asia and the third tallest in the world. The tower consists of three huge “sky-support” columns and eleven large spheres of varying sizes. Standing on the observation floor and looking around, you will see across the Huangpu River the famous Bund lined up with a dazzling exhibition of architectural creations of international styles and the charming skyline of the whole city in the distance-endless soothing vistas that one will find it difficult to turn away from.
第二十篇中外合资
根据建设社会主义市场经济体制的要求，我们将继续全方位地对外开放。我们要进一步理顺改革、发展和稳定三者之间的关系，培育统一开放、竞争有序的市场体系。
In accordance with the requirement for establishing a socialist market economy, we will continue to open to the outside world in all directions. We should correctly handle the relations between and among reform, development and stability and cultivate a unified and open market system with orderly competition.
我们要制定明确的产业政策引导投资投向。我们要加大引进外资的力度，尤其是鼓励外资对我国基础设施，基础工业和高新技术产业的投资。
We should formulate well-defined industrial policies to guide our orientation in foreign investment. We will increase our effort in introducing foreign investment and in particular, encourage foreign investment in China’s infrastructure, basic industries and industries of high and new technology.
在投资环境不断改善的条件下，我们对外商投资要坚持竞争择优的原则，并按照国际惯例对外资企业实行国民待遇。同时，我们要依法保护中外投资者和企业员工的一切正当权益。
As the environment for investment continues to improve, we should follow the principle of selecting only the best of the competing offers for foreign business investment. We should adopt a practice which is compatible with international convention and treat foreign-founded enterprise三the same way as their Chinese counterparts. Meanwhile, we will protect according to the law the legitimate rights and interests of both Chinese and foreign investors and business employees.
必须指出，中外合资是一种互补互惠的合作关系。合资双方可以最大限度地发挥各自的优势。应该说，这种投资方法对合作双方来说，都有丰厚的经济回报。
It must be pointed out that a Sino-foreign joint business is one of complementary and mutually beneficial partnership. Business partners in a joint venture can maximize their strengths. This type of investment, so to speak, will certainly yield fat economic returns for both parties in the partnership.
第二十一篇亚欧会议
我们热烈欢迎亚欧会议在伦敦召开。亚欧两大陆的领导人将要继续进行始于曼谷的对话与合作。自曼谷会议以来，亚洲、欧洲以及世界其他地方发生了巨大的变化，这必将对亚欧关系产生非常深远的影响。同大多数这类会议的首届会议一样，曼谷会议显得更具有象征意义和礼节性，它主要表明了亚洲在世界舞台上发挥着越来越大的作用。
We warmly welcome the convening of Asia-Europe meeting in London. Leaders from the two great continents are expected to continue their pursuit of dialogue and cooperation, which was initiated in Bangkok. Great changes have taken place in Asia, Europe and the rest of the world since the Bangkok meeting, and these will definitely exert a rather profound influence on the Asia-Europe relationship. The Bangkok conference, like most primary sessions of this type, seemed to be the more symbolic and ritualistic in its significance, demonstrating mainly that Asia is playing an increasing role in the world arena.
然而，人们更强烈希望本届亚欧首脑会议更为务实和具体，并产生建设性的结果。具体来说，会议可以在两方面得到加强。首先，首脑会议应该由两年一届改为一年一届，象西方七国会议和亚太经合会议那样。由于会议成员国有着不同的文化、历史和政治制度，亚欧国家之间经常性的高层交流对于彼此之间更好的了解是必不可缺的。其次，应该建立一个常设磋商机构以研究与分析两大洲经济、贸易和金融领域里的重大问题。这样的机构要是早已建立起来的话，它就可以对可能出现的亚洲金融危机及早提出警告，经济形势或许不会像我们今天所见到的那样严重。
However, there are strong hopes that the current Asia-Europe summit will turn out to be more pragmatic and specific, with a constructive outcome. Specifically, two improvements would give the conference substance. First, the biennial summit should become an annual one,, just like the G-7 and APEC conferences. Given the different cultures, histories and political systems of the members, frequent high-level exchanges between the Asian and European nations are indispensable to better mutual understanding. Second, a standing consultative organ should be set up to study and analyze important issues in the fields of economy, trade and finance on the two continents. If there had been such an establishment in the past, it might have given early warning to the potential Asian financial crisis, and the economic situation might have not been as serious as we have seen today.
平等是亚欧合作的基础，自然也应该成为亚欧会议的准则。亚欧领导人若要成为朋友，就应该平等地坐在同一张桌子旁。这种平等应该不受环境和条件的限制。无论亚洲的经济是处于上升阶段，还是为挫折所困，如所受到的近来那场金融危机的打击，亚洲与欧洲应该是平等的。
Equality is the foundation of Asia-Europe cooperation, and certainly it should serve as a principle for the Asia-Europe summit. If leaders from Asia and Europe want to be friends, they should be sitting at the same table on the basis of equality. That equality should be all-weather and non-conditional. Whether its economies are on the rise or disturbed by troubles like the recent financial crisis, Asia is equal to Europe.
客观地讲，这场金融危机使一些亚洲国家受到了批评。亚洲的经济增长方式、金融体制和外贸政策都遭到内外两面的质疑。这些评论和批评是必然的，并不令人感到奇怪。在危机发生之前，亚洲因其可歌可颂的成就而受到广泛的赞扬。现在这个人口最多、面积最大的洲受到一些口头攻击，这是无害处的，是有益的。
Objectively speaking, some Asian countries are now vulnerable to criticism because of the crisis. Asia’s method of economic growth, its financial systems and foreign trade policies are all questioned and challenged inside and outside the region. These comments and criticism are inevitable and not at all surprising. Prior to the crisis, Asia had been widely praised for its admirable economic achievements. Now it is harmless and helpful for this most populous and biggest continent to have some verbal attacks.
患难见真情。伦敦会议给欧洲领导人提供了一次献真情的极好机会。欧洲领导人希望帮助亚洲度过难关，并打算采取一些具体步骤。那些具有战略
眼光的人士很清楚，经历了这场危机后的亚洲不会衰退。亚欧合作全然不是一种权宜之计。今天合作投资，明天就会获得大丰收。
A friend in need is a friend indeed. The London summit provides a very good opportunity for the European leaders to show their sincerity. They hope to help Asia tide over the trouble, and intend to take some concrete steps. It is clear for those with strategic vision that Asia won’t decline after this crisis. Asia-Europe cooperation is by no means an expedient measure. To invest in that cooperation today suggests a bumper harvest tomorrow.
第二十二篇汉语与书法
欢迎各位参加“汉语及其汉字体系国际研讨班”。能邀请这么多来自五湖四海的汉学家，我深感荣幸和愉快。我们将在今后的3周里进行紧张而有意义的学习和交流。
Welcome to the “International Seminar of Chinese and Its Character System”. It’s my great pleasure and privilege to have invited so many Sinologists from all over the world. The next 3 weeks will see us engage in intensive and constructive studies and exchanges of opinions.
我们很高兴地看到，近年来世界各地血汉语者与日俱增。对于这门拥有世界上使用人数最多、文学历史最悠久的语言来说，这股学习热潮早该出现了。
We are glad to see that a worldwide interest in Chinese is increasing at an accelerating tempo. Considering that Chinese has the largest number of speakers in the world and the greatest time depth in its literature, this interest is long overdue.
从某种意义上说，汉语是一种很古老的语言，其最早的汉字已有近四千年的历史了。汉字在其漫长的发展史中演化成许多不同的书写形式，例如篆书、隶书、楷书和行书。中国书法家笔中的汉字往往以字形的夸张取得艺术效果，例如旅游胜地的一些石刻碑文。中国书法是一门研究艺术，随着各位学习兴趣的提高，我将适时介绍中国书法的流派，以及如何欣赏中国书法的艺术性。
In a sense, Chinese is a very old language, and its earliest characters date back nearly four thousand years. During their long history of development, Chinese characters have evolved into many different script forms, such as the seal character, official script, regular script and running script. Chinese calligraphers usually render their Chinese characters in ways that exaggerate the form to yield artistic beauty, such as those in stone inscriptions seen in tourist resorts. Chinese calligraphy is a subject of artistic study. As your interest in Chinese character system
increases in the days to come, I will discuss in due time the different schools of Chinese calligraphy, and how to appreciate the artistic beauty of Chinese calligraphy.
第二十三篇黄山之峰
著名的旅游胜地黄山座落在安徽省的南部，面积约1200平方公里。黄山有72座名峰，其中最出名的有莲花峰、天都峰、始信峰和青鸾峰。黄山景色甚为独特，它兼有泰山之雄伟，华山之险峻，峨眉山之清秀。奇松、怪石、云海和温泉堪称黄山四绝。黄山的迎客松早以其特殊的造型而闻名于世。Huangshan, a well-known tourist mountain resort, occupies an area of 1200 square kilometers in South Anhui Province. Boasting 72 peaks, including the best known Lianhua, Tiandu, Shixin and Qingluan Peaks, Huangshan blends the grandeur of Mount Tai, the awe of Huashan Mountain and the elegance of Mount Emei. Huangshan is most noted for its four attractions unparalleled elsewhere, namely, extraordinary pines growing out of rock crevices, grotesque rocks, seas of clouds swirling around the peaks, and hot springs. The world-famous Visitor-Greeting Pine has long been known for its singular build.
当地流传着不少优美的神话故事，为黄山披上了神秘的外衣。例如青鸾峰这一名字的来历，就很富有诗意和传奇色彩。海拔1780米的青鸾峰形状很像一只蹲伏的大鸟：鸟头薇抬，仿佛凝视远处的天都峰，尾巴下垂，两翼紧贴鸟身，绿树覆盖全身，因此得名“青鸾峰”。
Many fairy tales about this mountain spread among the local people, hiding Huangshan in mystery. For example, the tale about the origin of the name of the Qingluan Peak is one of poetic and legendary flavor. Rising 1,780 meters above sea level, the Peak bears a strong resemblance to a fabulous perching bird, as if looking fixedly at the Tiandu Peak in the distance, with its head raised slightly up, its tail drooping down and the two wings clinging to its body grown all over with trees. Hence the name Qingluan Peak, which literally means the Green Bird Peak.
第二十四篇合资意向
我国的低税收、低工资、大市场以及稳定的政治与社会环境吸引了越来越多的海外投资者。贵公司欲与我们建立一种长期合作的想法与我们不谋而合。
China’s low taxation, low wages, large consumer market and stable political and social environment have attracted a growing number of overseas investors to this country. Your wish to establish a long-term cooperative relationship with our company coincides with ours.
我们希望与贵公司建立一家合资企业，共同生产我们称作为“中国概念型轿车”。我们希望在合资企业中占有50%以上的资本份额，我们合资期可为15年。我们希望贵公司能向这家合资企业提供先进、成套和可靠的设备。
We hope to enter a partnership with your corporation and form a joint v enture to manufacture what we call “China Concept Cars”. We expect to hold a minimum of 50% of the capital equity in this joint venture, with a term of 15 years. We hope that your corporation will provide the venture with truly advanced, integrated and reliable equipments.
第二十五篇音乐传播技术的发展
人类自创造音乐的那一刻起，即开始了音乐的传播。在一个极为漫长的历史阶段中，人类只能通过音乐表演和口授来传播音乐。音乐保存极为有限，传播距离和传播方向也极为有限。
Music transmission began the moment mankind created music. For a very long period of historical development, humans could only transmit music by means of musical performance and oral instruction. There was a severe limitation to the extent of music preservation, as well as to the distance and directions of music transmission.
当人类发明了乐谱后，音乐便开始脱离表演，演变成“文字”得以记录和传播。然而，人类音乐传播的真正革命性里程碑的建立者无疑是科学家们。他们创造了令人叹为观止的音乐传播手段，从最早的机械“留声机”到今天五花八门的“电子媒体”，音乐的传播变得如此便捷，如此高保真。
When mankind invented musical scores, music started to break away from the boundaries of being merely a performing art, and develop into a system of “written symbols” that can be recorded and spre ad. Undoubtedly, however, it was the scientists who should be crowned as the founders of the real revolutionary milestone of human musical communication. Scientists invented marvelous means of music transmission, from the earliest mechanical “record turntable” to today’s many kinds of “electronic media”. Music transmission has become something that is amazingly convenient, fast, and “hi-fi supported”!
在20世纪诸多的音乐传播手段中，无线电广播的发明和发展对音乐的传播起了极为重要的作用。然而，高科技的高速发展也使我国广播音乐工作者在新世纪中面临严峻的挑战。随着CD唱片的日益普及，随着立体声及数字式音乐电视迈开咄咄*人脚步，随着……尤其是随着“仿佛无所不能的计算机网络”势力的高速扩张，新世纪音乐广播和音乐广播人还能有所作为吗？Among the numerous means of music transmission of the 20th century, the creation and development of radio broadcast5ing played an extremely important role in the industry of music transmission. Nevertheless, the
英语口译的练习技巧 方法一：不断的自言自语 自言自语对于训练说外语的流利程度是很有帮助的。例如搭捷运时，看到什么就说什么，这样练习形容眼前的事物，不断自言自语，将搭车的过程说出来。藉由这种练习来形容眼前的每件事物，每天作十次以上这样的练习，将会发现，自己的外语流利了许多。一些专家建议：刚开始时，先用母语（中文）练习，再用外语来练习及组织。想到什么，就用一种语言说出来，为的是训练我们的敏感度。这种敏感度会在我们自言自语时，组织我们自己语言的语流(speech flow)。 目的：在想到什么讲什么，看到什么就说什么的情况下，磨练我们的语言表达力，跟时间的掌握齐头并进。在自言自语当中，控制自己的语流，让自己的脑神经细胞都能展开来，跟周遭的事物结合在一起。这个在实践中还是做得到的。我们做口译时会紧张，往往就是语流掌握得不好。在做这一行时，很多人会认为我们的正确度已经足够，但是流畅度还是不行，这就是我们对语流控制不够，造成在口译表达上有所挫折。这个在实践上比较多，而理论上比较少。 方法二：阅读口（传）译：(sight translation) 定义：一边看，一边翻译。一边看用甲文字所写出来的文字，用乙文字的语言讲出来。 练习步骤： 步骤一：看英文，译成中文 可先找语法和词汇浅显，内容比较简单且自己较熟悉内容的外文书，例如国中英语课本、儿童故事等等，一边看，一边用母语讲出来。习惯了这样的翻译后，再用硬纸板挖开两行字大小的横条状的洞，将纸从上往下慢慢移动，每次看两行字，口译出来，移动的速度不要太快。每本做三至四次的练习，就可以不用这本书了，再由浅入深。这种步骤的好处是可以掌握文字上的意义与语言上的口说能力等两者转换间的衔接能力。 步骤二：看中文，译成英文 和上个步骤差不多，但难度更大。先用程度较浅的内容如国语、国文课本，或中文的儿童故事，先看中文，再用外语（英语）说出来。接着以步骤一的方法练习。 我的建议：在进行阅读传译步骤一、二的时候，不妨把译文录下来。英译中的部分请没有学过英文的人来听，中译英的部分则请以英语为母语的人来鉴定其是否流畅正确。我们一定要做录音这个动作来确定口译的正确程度。 步骤三：可以用以英文撰写的文字（最好是专题演讲稿〉，因为口译一般不是口语的，而是比较书面的。先训练笔头的功夫，在原文的两行字之间写出摘要( target language ) ，再用母语把摘要讲出来，因为我们脑神经细胞里所接受的化石(fossile)比较接近母语的沉

英汉同声传译技巧与训练 广东外语外贸大学副校长、高级翻译学院首任院长仲伟合 1、同声传译的概念 口译按工作方式分为连续(consecutive interpreting,又叫交替传译、逐步传译)和同声传译(simultaneous interpreting)。同声传译因为与发言人同步进行翻译，无须占用会议时间而受到了会议组织者的欢迎，二次世界大战之后，流行于许多国际组织。所谓同声传译指的是用一种语言（译入语）把另外一种语言（原语）所表达的思想内容，以与原语发言人几乎相同的速度，用口头形式表达出来的一种翻译方式。近年来，世界很多地方称这种翻译为“会议传译”(conference interpreting)。在大多数情况下，同声传译是通过会议设备来完成的。译员坐在特制的口译箱里，通过耳机接听发言人的讲话内容，随即通过麦克风把原语发言人的讲话内容用译人语传达给大会的听众，听众则利用耳机选择所需要的语言频道，接受翻译服务。 与交替传译相比，同声传译具有以下优点：(1)在同声传译中，发言与翻译同时进行，不占用会议时间；(2)同声传译可以利用电子设备，在同一时间内对多种语言同时进行翻译。(3)在大型国际会议中，译员有时可以事先得到发言稿件，早做准备，提高翻译的准确率。因此，现在国际上的会议，百分之九十都是采用同声传译的方式进行。 同声传译又可分为以下几种情况：(1)常规同传：在翻译中，译员没有稿件，靠耳听、心想、口译来在同一时间内完成同声传译工作。(2)视译：译员拿到讲话人的书面讲话稿，一边听讲话人的讲话、一边看稿、一边口译。(3)耳语传译：不需要使用同传设备。译员一边听讲话人的发言，一边与会代表耳边进行传译。 (4)同声传读：译员拿到书面译文，边听发言人念稿，边宣读译文。同声传读需要注意发言人在宣读论文过程中增加及减少的内容，有时发言人也可能会突然脱稿进行发言。 2、同声传译的工作程序 同声传译的工作程序可能简单表示为：也就是原语发言人在会议厅主席台（或会场）对着麦克风发言，同传译员则坐在特制的口译箱里通过耳机接听原语信息，同时用目的语言准确传达原语信息，通过麦克风把信息传达出去。面听众则通过耳机接收翻译内容。在上述同声传译程序中，以下几个方面对同声传译的质量会带来影响：(1)发言人：信息发出者。其讲话内容、发言速度、言语逻辑、讲话口音等都对同声传译员对原语的理解带来影响，进而影响整个翻译质量； (2)同传译员：同传译员是翻译成败的关键。同传译员在工作中要做到“一心多用”，听、想、记、译几乎要在同一时间内完成。因此同传译工作极具挑战性； (3)同传设备：同传译员的翻译结果要靠设备才能为听众所接受。同传活动中，译员要熟悉设备的操作。特别是遇到多语种翻译要用“接力翻译”(relay interpreting)时，更应该熟练掌握设备的操作。同传译员一般要在工作前30分钟到场检测设备。在检查过程中，一旦发现问题应立即找有关的技术人员解决。在口译过程中，始终应该有设备技术人员值班，以解决应急问题。
中美两国建交以来，人民之间的交往不断扩大。两国已缔结了23对友好省州和123对姊妹城市。去年，到中国旅游的美国人多达131万人次。中国赴美探亲、求学、经商的有44万人次。中国有超过18万人曾在美国留学，目前在读的留学生有六万余人。而在中国学习的美国留学生只有约3000人，位居外国在华留学人数第三位。中美在教育领域的交流与合作还有很大发展空间。中国绝大多数大中小学都学习英语，总人数超过1.2亿。美国已有近1000所高校和200多所中小学开设了中文课程，华人华侨开办了近600所中文学校，包括在马里兰大学创建的孔子学院。但与中美交往的需要将比，美国的汉语教学任重道远。 下面是presentation内容： Remarks at Jinan University, Guangzhou by U.S. Commerce Secretary Gary Locke Tuesday, October 27, 2009 美国商务部长骆家辉在广州暨南大学的演讲 2009年10月27日 Good afternoon everyone. It is an honor to be with you at Jinan University. I have been looking forward to this visit to southern China for some time. My roots are here. The ancestral home of my family, a village called Jilong, where my mother and father were married, is located here in Guangdong Province. My brother and sisters and I, and our spouses, were delighted to join my parents when they returned for a visit a few years ago. It was the trip of a lifetime for all of us. Let me begin this afternoon by congratulating each of you for your acceptance at one of China’s premie r universities. Jinan has produced countless government, business, and academic leaders throughout its history –and is recognized as one of the leading research universities in China. You are here at Jinan at a time in Chinese and world history that is at the same time frightening and exciting. On top of a struggling global economy, our world has more serious issues to deal with than we'd all care to count. Climate change, poverty, disease, terrorism -- each issue on its own is enough to consume all of our time. But we've got to deal with them all at once. It's enough to make anyone despair for the future. But not me. I'm optimistic and confident the world is equipped to deal with the challenges we face -- and a big part of the reason is seeing young people like you. Because although these problems are daunting, they do have solutions. Many of them can be solved with

2008年春季上海市日语口译考试改革新动向 一、日语口译岗位资格证书考试将分为中级、高级两个级别 近几年来，报名参加日语口译证书考试的人数不断增多，影响也越来越大，但应试者的层次参差不齐。为了更好地体现服务社会的宗旨，适应不同岗位对日语口译人才的需求，上海市高校浦东继续教育中心在调查研究和广泛征求各方面意见的基础上，决定自2008年春季起，日语口译证书考试分为日语中级和日语高级两个级别的口译岗位资格证书考试。每年安排春、秋两次考试。考试合格者颁发相应的日语口译岗位资格证书。 日语口译分级考试后，停止原不分级的日语口译笔试。2006年9月（含9月）以来参加日语口译证书考试笔试合格者，仍可按原规定在二年内参加日语口译证书考试口试，口试合格者仍可取得上海市日语口译岗位资格证书。日语口译证书考试口试仍以原考纲和教材为依据。原已颁发的上海市日语口译岗位资格证书仍然有效。 二、日语中、高级口译考试的定位及考试内容 1、日语中级口译证书考试的难度和要求低于原日语口译证书考试，考试仍沿用原来的模式，即：考试分两个阶段：第一阶段为笔试，含四个部分，依次是：听力、阅读、日译汉和汉译日。笔试合格者才有资格报考口试。第二阶段为口试，分两个部分：口语和口译。两年内有连续四次口试机会。笔试和口试的题型及其要求、难易度等，请阅日语口译岗位资格证书考试大纲（2007年版）。 2、日语高级口译证书考试的难度和要求高于原日语口译证书考试，不设笔试，只设口试。口试分两个部分：视译和口译。详细内容请阅日语口译岗位资格证书考试大纲（2007版）。 三、报考对象： 1、日语中级口译证书考试： 具有相当于日本语能力等级考试三级以上水平的考生、日语专业专科毕业或相当于同等学力的考生可报考日语中级口译证书笔试，笔试合格后才能参加口试。 2、日语高级口译证书考试： 具有相当于日本语能力等级考试一级以上水平的考生、已取得日语中级口译证书的考生、已获得原日语口译证书及其他相当同等水平日语等级证书的考生、以及高等院校日语专业本科毕业或相当于同等学力的考生，经过一定的培训或自学均可报考日语高级口译考试。 四、日语中、高级口译证书考试与传统的日语能力等级考试的区别 开设日语中、高级口译证书考试的目的之一：是为上海及长三角等地区的国家机关、企事业单位、日资企业等考核和遴选应用性日语口译人才；目的之二：是测试、提高考生日语语言的口头表达和运用能力。 日语中级口译证书考试在测试考生听、说、读、写、译五方面的综合能力的基础上，突出测试口语和口译能力；以弥补传统的日语能力等级考试无口语或口译测试的缺陷。凡获得日语中级口译证书者均具有较好的日语口语表达和日汉语互译的语言基本能力和技巧，可胜任一般性外事、生活及旅游等口译工作。 日语高级口译证书考试则在考生已具备了上述五方面综合能力的情况下，重点测试考生的口译能力，进而与日本语能力等级考试（一级）形成互补。获得该证书者均具有良好的日语口语表达和日汉语互译的能力和技巧，可胜任外事接待、外贸洽谈，以及会议交替传译等工作。上海市日语口译中、高级证书考试充分体现考试的科学性、实用性和针对性，盘活考生日语知识的存量，增强日语口译的潜能。朝日日语中、高级口译教学严格按照市外语口译岗位资格证书考试委员会颁发考纲设计编排，由资深日语同传专家上大外国语学院副院长王颀博

女士们、先生们、朋友们！ 人类只有一个地球，各国共处一个世界。共同发展是持续发展的重要基础，符合各国人民长远利益和根本利益。我们生活在同一个地球村，应该牢固树立命运共同体意识，顺应时代潮流，把握正确方向，坚持同舟共济，推动亚洲和世界发展不断迈上新台阶。 第一，勇于变革创新，为促进共同发展提供不竭动力。长期以来，各国各地区在保持稳定、促进发展方面形成了很多好经验好做法。对这些好经验好做法，要继续发扬光大。同时，世间万物，变动不居。“明者因时而变，知者随事而制。”要摒弃不合时宜的旧观念，冲破制约发展的旧框框，让各种发展活力充分迸发出来。要加大转变经济发展方式、调整经济结构力度，更加注重发展质量，更加注重改善民生。要稳步推进国际经济金融体系改革，完善全球治理机制，为世界经济健康稳定增长提供保障。亚洲历来具有自我变革活力，要勇做时代的弄潮儿，使亚洲变革和世界发展相互促进、相得益彰。 第二，同心维护和平，为促进共同发展提供安全保障。和平是人民的永恒期望。和平犹如空气和阳光，受益而不觉，失之则难存。没有和平，发展就无从谈起。国家无论大小、强弱、贫富，都应该做和平的维护者和促进者，不能这边搭台、那边拆台，而应该相互补台、好戏连台。国际社会应该倡导综合安全、共同安全、合作安全的理念，使我们的地球村成为共谋发展的大舞台，而不是相互角力的竞技场，更不能为一己之私把一个地区乃至世界搞乱。各国交往频繁，磕磕碰碰在所难免，关键是要坚持通过对话协商与和平谈判，妥善解决矛盾分歧，维护相互关系发展大局。 第三，着力推进合作，为促进共同发展提供有效途径。“一花独放不是春，百花齐放春满园。”世界各国联系紧密、利益交融，要互通有无、优势互补，在追求本国利益时兼顾他国合理关切，在谋求自身发展中促进各国共同发展，不断扩大共同利益汇合点。要加强南南合作和南北对话，推动发展中国家和发达国家平衡发展，夯实世界经济长期稳定发展基础。要积极创造更多合作机遇，提高合作水平，让发展成果更好惠及各国人民，为促进世界经济增长多作贡献。 第四，坚持开放包容，为促进共同发展提供广阔空间。“海纳百川，有容乃大。”我们应该尊重各国自主选择社会制度和发展道路的权利，消除疑虑和隔阂，把世界多样性和各国差异性转化为发展活力和动力。我们要秉持开放精神，积极借鉴其他地区发展经验，共享发展资源，推进区域合作。进入新世纪10多年来，亚洲地区内贸易额从8000亿美元增长到3万亿美元，亚洲同世界其他地区贸易额从1.5万亿美元增长到4.8万亿美元，这表明亚洲合作是开放的，区域内合作和同其他地区合作并行不悖，大家都从合作中得到了好处。亚洲应该欢迎域外国家为本地区稳定和发展发挥建设性作用，同时，域外国家也应该尊重亚洲的多样性特点和已经形成的合作传统，形成亚洲发展同其他地区发展良性互动、齐头并进的良好态势。 女士们、先生们、朋友们！ 中国是亚洲和世界大家庭的重要成员。中国发展离不开亚洲和世界，亚洲和世界繁荣稳定也需要中国。 去年11月，中国共产党召开了第十八次全国代表大会，明确了中国今后一个时期的发展蓝图。我们的奋斗目标是，到2020年国内生产总值和城乡居民人均收入在2010年的基础上翻一番，全面建成小康社会；到本世纪中叶建成富强民主文明和谐的社会主义现代化国家，实现中华民族伟大复兴的中国梦。展望未来，我们充满信心。 我们也认识到，中国依然是世界上最大的发展中国家，中国发展仍面临着不少困难和挑战，要使全体中国人民都过上美好生活，还需要付出长期不懈的努力。我们将坚持改革开放不动摇，牢牢把握转变经济发展方式这条主线，集中精力把自己的事情办好，不断推进社会主义现代化建设。
作为外语专业的学生，在学校我们已经通过对高级日语，笔译，口译等课程的学习对日语有了一定的了解，但是，对于实际操作还都处于想象阶段，虽然，这次实训时间很短，但是，却将是我们所上过的最生动的一课。 作为一名大三的日语方向的学生，这次实训就像是上台前的最后一次彩排，当我走讲台时那种激动紧张的心情不言而喻。生怕会在展示中出现差错，然而现在看来所有在实训中出现的困难，都是一笔珍贵的财富，警示着我在今后的学习工作中做得更好。 一．实训目的： 学校安排的这次实训主要是针对笔译，即翻译理论与翻译技巧的应用。让我们将平时在课堂上所学的知识充分运用到实际生活当中，锻炼我们的日语翻译能力，从而更加扎实的掌握日语的翻译技巧。 二．实训内容： 1. 理论部分：首先，采用教师阐述和学生讨论的方式，对翻译标准和翻译目的等基本翻译理论概念进行回顾与拓展；其次，理论联系实践，教师提供多种译例，学生讨论，分析不同译例适用的不同翻译标准，并从翻译目的等角度进行理由阐述； 2．技巧部分：教师引导，与学生从语义、词法、句法、篇章和风格角度共同进行各种翻译技巧的回顾与拓展；教师引导，与学生共同进行不同文体特点、以及不同文体应采用的不同翻译策略和技巧对比分析，着重商务类实用文体分析； 3. 翻译实战：每位同学通过在指定时间内完成教师指定材料翻译任务，分组（每班8组，每组5-6人），以文档形式进行实战分析与陈述，内容包括小组成员工作任务分配，背景材料收集与整合，时间分配，翻译指导理论，涉及语义、词法、句法、篇章和风格的相关翻译技巧运用分析，小组成员译文对比分析，以及理由陈述，教师提供指导。 4．译员角色模拟和问题解决方案演练与测评：学生分组，抽签决定不同小组承担的不同商务翻译任务。翻译任务共三项，包括社内商务文件、社外商务文件及交际类文件。学生利用多媒体进行工作流程报告、翻译案例和问题解决方案分析与陈述，内容包括整个工作流程以及时间分配、完成情况、翻译过程和其他相关工作中遇到的各种问题、解决方案。 三．实训过程： 1. 04月28日～05月04日：收集资料，研讨相关职场下文件笔译方法和注意事项； 2. 05月05日～05月11日：文件笔译； 3. 05月12日～05月18日：文件笔译； 4. 05月19日～05月25日：文件笔译； 5. 05月26日～06月01日：译文修改； 6. 06月02日～06月08日：上交实训成果。 四．实训心得体会： 1. 态度第一。要摆正自己的心态，不要以为什么东西上网搜搜就可以了，一定要有自己的东西。只有自己付出过，当展示成功时的那种喜悦才会令自己有一种莫名的自豪感。态度决定一切！ 2. 兴趣是关键。我的学习完全是兴趣导向的，所以压力并不大。因为有兴趣，所以我会很想充分理解一切细节。又因为理解，所以许多原本片片断断的知识都
Good evening everyone. It’s a very great honor and pleasure to be with you here in Donguan this evening and to pay tribute to this quite remarkable development which um… has left me amazed and impressed and desiring to return again to this wonderful place, thank you. I’d also like to tell you that for me um…China has a special place in my heart and in my family. My brother is actually married to a Chinese lady, a very wise choice. And my little boy, that’s Stuart, um… he is just seven years old, and he’s begun to study Chinese in his school back in London. So who knows, maybe in 40 years’ time he will come along and address you in perfect Chinese. But to the moment NIHAO is all I can say. Now, um… I would like to talk to you reasonably briefly and I understand we’re gonna to have time to take questions and answers, um.. so please feel free then to ask me any questions you want, I will be pleased trying to give you as good answers as I can. But I’d like to, in my remarks to you, address the… this question really, which is how do we develop our economy and society both in countries like this and in countries like mine so that we maximize the potential of our countries and our people.// And I believe there are a number of ways that we have to do this. The first is that we have to have the right partnership between government and business. And I would like to congratulate you, MR vice mayor and all those who are engaged in government in this province, for the very wise and intelligent way that you have partnered the private sector in the developments that have come about. I think that has made a big difference to this region. Thank you, Sir. I also believe that it is only when government and industry work together that we can deal with some of the major questions of planning and urban development that are so critical in making sure we are offering opportunities to everybody in our society, not simply a few. The biggest problem in any modern country today is how do we ensure that the benefits of the wealth that we create are spread amongst the whole of the population. And, in order to do that, we need the closest possible cooperation between those who work in government and those who work in business. I have to… seeing Mr. Chen’s amazing development just a short distance from here, to which congratulations, err…it’s an incredible achievement. But I know that that could not have been done unless with the right cooperation and partnership between those in positions of government and those like yourself who are entrepreneurs. So that’s the first thing, the partnership between public and private sector. // The second thing is the importance of education. I think for all our countries today, the thing that we can do most is to build the knowledge and capability of our people. In every one of our societies, at the moment, there are people of talent and ability. But unless they get the education opportunities that they need, they will never be able to fulfill that opportunity properly. I would like to think in years to come, that there would be partnerships, for example, between the universities and scientific institutes in a country like the UK. And how you develop your university sector and science here? I think for Europe, there is much much more that we can do, to try to make sure that Europe and China work more closely together in developing the knowledge
