1．Sample Letter 1 Urge Early Shipment of the Goods Ordered
Dear Sirs,
Re: Contract No. 12345
Referring to our previous emails, we wish to call your attention to the fact that up to the present moment no news has come from you about the shipment under the captioned contract.
As you have been informed in one of our previous emails, the users are in urgent need of the goods contracted and are in fact pressing us for assurance of early delivery.
Under the circumstances, it is obviously impossible for us to again extend L/C No.2566, which expires on 19 august, and we feel it our duty to remind you of this matter again.
As your prompt attention to shipment is most desirable to all parties concerned, we hope you will let us have our shipping advice without further delays.
Yours faithfully, 2.Sample Letter 2 Asking for Early Shipment of the Goods
Dear Sirs,
With reference to Contract No.PON45 covering the 50,000 metric tons walnuts, we believe that amendment to the relative letter of credit has been made and has reached you already. We should like to solicit your cooperation to expedite shipment. Yesterday our clients came to us with the request that 30,000 metric tons of walnuts be shipped during March and the remainder in April as they are in urgent need of them.
We presume that you must have received a lot of bookings for this commodity from abroad, resulting in a tight shipping schedule; nevertheless, we venture to write to you, hoping that you will see your way to accommodate us. Thank you in advance for your kind cooperation.
Yours faithfully,

4.Sample Letter 4 Asking for Sole Agency
Dear Sirs,
We have learnt from the Chamber of Commerce that your company is handling the export business of silk garments. They told us that you are not directly represented in London, so today we are writing to offer our services as your sole agent.
We have a well-developed sales organization there and are represented by a large staff in various parts of the country. When we have studied their reports, we conclude that there will be good prospects of a very profitable market for your products, because there is a steadily growing demand for such goods.
In view of the wide connections and 10 years’ experience in pushing the sale of this line, we are confident that we can work up a very satisfactory business with you. If you agree that 6% commission on net sales is reasonable and other terms satisfactory, we are prepared to guarantee payment of all accounts, for which we should require a Del Credere commission of 2%.
As for our financial and credit standing, we would refer you to the Bank of China, London, who has consented to answer all your inquiries about our company.
We hope to hear favorably from you and feel sure that we could come to an agreement as to terms.
Yours faithfully,

The popular views about the government's ability and effectiveness to sustain prosperity have shifted over time; there seems to be an increasing tolerance for unemployment and moderate inflation. There is a detectable shift from an exaggerated view about the potency of so-called Keynesian tools to a far-reaching agnosticism about their ability to produce, in an uncertain world, a sustained full employment growth without intolerable price and balance-of-payments instabilities. At present, the opprobrium falls on policies which are blamed for retardation in the rates of economic activity, disharmonious growth, and the combined evils of slump and inflation, but which are erroneously identified as Keynesian economics.

It was a day as fresh as grass growing up and clouds going over and butterflies coming down can make it .It was a day compounded from silences of bee and flower and ocean and land, which were not silences at all, but motions, stirs, flutters, risings, fallings, each in its own time and matchless rhythm. The land did not move, but moved. The sea was not still, yet was still. Paradox flowed into paradox, stillness mixed with stillness, sound with sound. The flowers vibrated and the bees fell in separate and small showers of golden rain on the clover. The seas of hill and the seas of ocean were divided, each from the other's motion, by a railroad track, empty, compounded of rust and iron marrow, a track on which, quite obviously, no train had run in many years. Thirty miles north it swirled on away to further mists of distance, thirty miles south it tunneled islands of cloud-shadow that changed their continental positions on the sides of far mountains as you watched.

Ugly Is Only Skin-deep
It may not be much to look at. But beneath that humble exterior beats an air-cooled engine. It won't boil over and ruin your piston rings. It won't freeze over and ruin your life. It's in the back of the car for better traction in snow and sand. And it will give you about 29 miles to a gallon of gas.
After a while you get to like so much about the VW, you even get to like what it looks like.
You find that there's enough legroom for almost anybody's legs. Enough headroom for almost anybody's head. With a hat on it. Sungfitting bucket seats. Doors that close so well you can hardly close them. They're so airtight, it's better to open the window a crack first.
Those plain, unglamorous wheels are each suspended independently. So when a bump makes one wheel bounce, the bounce doesn't make the other wheel bump. It's things like that you pay the $1 585 for, when you buy a VW. The ugliness doesn't add a thing to the cost of the car.
That's the beauty of it.

Dear Guests,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
I am very pleased to come to Washington in this beautiful autumn for the fourth meeting of the China-US High Technology and Strategic Trade Working Group. This
is an important meeting before the upcoming 20th JCCT and will greatly promote high-tech trade between the two countries. Hereby, on behalf of MOFCOM，I would like to congratulate on the meeting and extend my sincere thanks to DOC, NAM and all the organizers for their hard efforts.
As Vice Minister of Commerce in charge of high-tech trade and export control, I am deeply aware of the significance of this job. Mutual trust is the key to and communication the basis for expanding high-tech trade between China and the US. With government officials and business representatives from both sides sitting down together, this meeting will play an important role in boosting mutual understanding and mutual trust between the Chinese and US governments and industries, ensuring the sound development of Sino-US high-tech trade, and benefiting the two peoples.
Now let me share with you my following observations.
First, on China-US economic and trade relationship
The year 2009 is very important and meaningful for China-US relationship. It is in this year that the two sides agreed on the new positioning of the relationship and were jointly committed to building a positive, cooperative and comprehensive China-US relationship in the 21st century. The two sides have witnessed frequent and fruitful exchanges of high-level official visits.
China-US economic and trade ties are an important foundation and component of the relationship. Since the two countries established diplomatic relationship 30 years ago, bilateral economic and trade relations have developed steadily and soundly thanks to the joint efforts of the two governments and business communities. According to Chinese figures, bilateral trade in goods reached US$ 333.7 billion in 2008, quadrupling that of 2001 with an average annual growth rate of 19.5%. The US export to China stood at US$ 81.5 billion, trebling that of 2001 with an average annual growth rate of 15.2%. The two countries are each other’s second largest trading partner. The US is the second largest export market of China and its sixth largest source of import, while China is the third largest export destination and the biggest import source of the US, and has been the fastest growing major export market of the US for 7 years in a row. The two countries have launched all-dimensional cooperation in areas of trade, investment, science and technology, energy and environment. The scale and scope of cooperation has been enlarged, and the cooperation is rich in contents and takes various forms. The two countries are strongly complementary in economy, closely linked and highly interdependent.
At this moment, we are experiencing a rarely seen financial crisis. With the world economy mired in the worst situation since the Great Depression of the last century, China is facing severe challenges in economic development, and China-US trade and economic cooperation has also been affected. As a responsible major country, China has taken a positive and responsible attitude in the crisis. It has decisively adopted a stimulus package and identified domestic demand expansion as the basic standing point of economic growth. In the first half of this year, fixed assets investment increased faster and consumption demand picked up steadily and rapidly. Industrial enterprises above designated size grew with each passing month, and banks enjoyed abundant liquidity. All those signs suggest that positive changes have taken place in the Chinese economy and the situation is better than expected. The steady development of China’s economy will provide other countries with more opportunities and jobs, and will help boost confidence in the world economy.
The Chinese side places great emphasis on China-US trade and economic cooperation. Last April, MOFCOM and relevant chambers of commerce and trade associations organized a series of promoting activities in 16 cities of 14 states in the
US，attended by 197 entrepreneurs representing 84 companies from China. Those activities included over 60 economic and trade forums, signing of agreements on trade and investment projects and investment environment study tours. The signed trade and investment agreements involved a total value of US$ 18.34 billion. During the visit of Wu Bangguo, NPC Standing Committee Chairman, to the US early this month, 41 cooperation agreements were signed between Chinese and American companies with a total value of US$ 12.4 billion. That has fully testified to the unequivocal commitment of the Chinese government to opposing trade protectionism with real action and responding to the crisis with strengthened cooperation in the difficult situation.
Dear friends,
Cooperation is the only right choice for us to tackle the crisis in today’s world of in-depth globalization. Under whatever circumstances, both sides should treat and deal with China-US economic and trade ties from a strategic height and a long-term perspective. We should adhere to the guideline of “resolving disputes by cooperation and promoting development by cooperation”, identify and expand the convergence of interests, and seek the overall development of China-US trade and economic cooperation. (To be continued)

Sony plunged deeper into crisis yesterday after the consumer electronics group warned it would suffer its first full-year operating loss in 14 years as it tries to cope with the global economic downturn and strong yen.
The warning came on a day of gloom for the technology sector as weakening consumer demand prompted Microsoft to launch its first company-wide job cuts in its 34-year history with up to 5,000 jobs to go. Nokia also revealed a fall in 2008 profits and issued a gloomy forecast of a 10 per cent fall in global industry sales of mobile phones. In Korea, LG Electronics reported its first net loss in seven quarters as margins for its handsets and flat-panel TVs fell amid a price war.
Sony's forecast of a Y260bn ($2.9bn) operating loss in the year to March 2009 was worse than even the most pessimistic market forecasts, intensifying pressure on its management to turn the company round.

Competition often means waiting for people to make a choice.
That was the case with VCRs, video cassette recorders. During the 1980s, people had two choices: VHS and Betamax. The VHS format won the competition. Betamax disappeared from all but professional use.
More recently, the VHS, or video home system, format has been disappearing as people choose DVD players.
But now the two newest kinds of DVD players are in competition. Blu-ray and HD DVD are both designed for use with high definition televisions. These produce bigger, sharper pictures. They work best when showing movies or TV programs made in true high definition.
But high def takes up more memory, so a new kind of DVD, digital video or versatile disc, was needed.
Blu-ray and HD DVD are similar in technology. Both use a blue laser to read
the information on the disc. But HD DVDs cost less to produce. They can be made with existing equipment, while Blu-ray DVDs cannot. But a Blu-ray disc holds more memory: about fifty gigabytes compared to thirty gigabytes for an HD DVD.
Two major Hollywood studios, Paramount Pictures and Universal Pictures, have agreed to release movie only in HD DVD. The Toshiba company is the main supplier of the players.
Sony, on the other hand, supports the Blu-ray format, as do the movie makers at Walt Disney, Twentieth Century Fox and MGM.
Then earlier this month, Hollywood's biggest seller of DVDs announced its choice in the fight between Blu-ray and HD DVD. Warner Brothers will support only Blu-ray starting in June.
The company says having two kinds of high definition DVDs on the market has led to confusion with the buying public. So far, sales of the new high-definition disc players have been slow. An estimated one million players of both kinds have been sold.
This week, Toshiba announced that it would cut the price of its HD DVD players by forty to fifty percent. Some of its players are now under two hundred dollars.
But many people think Blu-ray has won the competition with HD DVD. Time will tell. For those who cannot make up their minds, there are some players that can play both 18．
Shenzhen (October 12)--Hosted by the Ministry of Commerce, the China-US Industrial Technology Cooperation Forum was held in Shenzhen, as part of the 2007 China Hi-Tech Fair. Vice-Minister Liao Xiaoqi and US Consulate General Robert Goldberg attended and addressed the event.
Liao noted that China-US trade was in a positive territory in recent years, with a win-win pattern established in bilateral trade and the two countries becoming each other’s second largest trade partner.
Since 2000, US export towards China enjoyed an annual growth rate of 22.6%, 4.7 times its global export. By the end of 2006, over 50,000 US-invested ventures were established in China, accounting for a total turnover of 10 billion US dollars.
Liao also pointed out that, given the immense scale of China-US trade, it was understandable that conflicts might occur occasionally. It was advisable, however, to address these issues in a practical and flexible way. A long-term, steady economic relationship between US and China was beneficial to both countries.
Chinese government, Liao also observed, attached great importance to technological innovation, and was promoting the idea of an innovative nation.
The forum was co-hosted by China Chamber of Commerce for Import and Export of Machinery and Electronic Products and the US Information Industry Organization.
Before the meeting, Liao met with the representatives attending the event, and visited the US exhibition center in the Hi-Tech Fair.

B.Translate the following paragraphs into Chinese In 1776, Adam Smith, a Scottish economist, wrote the wealth of Nations, a book that has had an enormous influence on American economic development. Like many other thinkers, Smith believed that in a capitalist system people are naturally selfish and are moved to engage in manufacturing and trade in order to gain wealth and power. Smith’s originality was to argue that such activity is beneficial because it leads to increased production and sharpens competition. As a result, goods circulate more widely and at lower prices, jobs are created, and wealth is spread. Though people may act from the narrow desire to enrich themselves, Smith argued, “an invisible hand” guides them to enrich and improve all of society. And yet, American industrial development in the 19th century took a toll on working men and women. Factory owners often required them to put in long hours of low wages, provided them with unsafe and unhealthy workplaces, and hired the children of poor families. There was discrimination in hiring: African Americans and members of some immigrant groups were rejected or forced to work under highly unfavorable conditions.

第一篇 女士们、先生们，尊敬的来宾： 晚上好！ 希望你们对前两天会议的报告和活动感到满意。请将你们的感想和建议告诉我们。我很荣幸今晚能与众多优秀医生们一起共度，你们为了帮助患者这一共同的愿望来到了这里。我的目的十分简单：我希望向你们传达我们的承诺，承诺帮助患者了解糖尿病的特性，并获得及时诊断。我们知道，单靠自己的力量是不能达到这些目标的。 Ladies and gentlemen, Distinguished guests, Good evening! I hope that you have enjoyed the first two days of the conference, including the presentations and the social time. Please let us know your impressions and suggestions. It is an honor for me to spend this time with such a distinguished group of doctors, brought together by the common desire to help patients. My purpose is simple: I want to convey to you our commitment to helping patients understand the nature of diabetes, and to obtain a timely diagnosis. We understand that we cannot achieve these goals alone. 今天，如果你参观我们总部大楼的大厅，会看到一个大型雕塑：一个怀抱孩子的母亲。这个雕塑取材于一个真实母亲的照片——抱着她那在使用胰岛素以前，奄奄一息的儿子。这个男孩是世界上最早接受胰岛素的患者之一，他的病情很快得到了大幅改善。由于解决了最大的忧虑，这位母亲十分开心。 Today, if you visit the lobby of our headquarters building, you will see a large sculpture of a mother holding a child. It is based on the photograph of a real mother——holding her dying son in the days just prior to the availability of insulin. The boy was one of the first patients in the world to receive insulin, and his condition soon improved dramatically. Relieved of her biggest worries, the mother certainly found great happiness! 同事和我从这幅画面、这个标志中找到了巨大的灵感。这个标志提醒我们，工作中真正重要的是什么，这也是你们的工作。通过帮助患者重新获得并保持健康，我们使他们过上了更加幸福的生活，为社会作出更大的贡献，并尽可能长久地养育家人。 My colleagues and I find great inspiration in this image, this symbol. This symbol reminds us of what is really at stake in our work, which is your work as well. By helping patients to regain and maintain their health, we help them to lead happier lives, to contribute more to the society, and to nurture their families for as long as possible. 基于同样的原因，我们今天还在继续探寻具有创新性的治疗方法以帮助糖尿病患者。我们很自豪能在这项工作中成为你们的伙伴并对你们所做的一切表示感谢。最后，我请各位与我一起举杯，为了我们彼此间更好的合作，为了全世界人民的健康。干杯！ For the same reasons, we continue our search today, for innovative treatments to help people with diabetes. We’re proud to be your partner in this effort and we thank you for all that you do. At last, I would like you to join me in a toast, for a better partnership between and among us, and for the health of the whole world. Cheers!
