琳达帕斯坦71岁时已写了11卷诗，她是今年的罗斯利里诗歌奖得主，她获得了终生成就奖，奖金是10万美元。琳达帕斯坦，欢迎您，并祝贺您！
At age of 71, Linda Pastan is author of 11 volumes of poetry. And she is this year’s winner of the Ruth Lilly Poetry Prize, given for lifetime achievement and at $100,000. Linda Pastan, welcome and congratulations.
在我读您的诗时，发现一种一贯的风格：简明扼要，清晰，简短，善于捕捉细微的瞬间。
When I read your poems, there is a consistent style: Concise, clear, short, and small moments captured.
Well, I have a natural impulse to condense. I’d like to write long narrative poems. I’d like to write a novel. And any time I start anything long, I keep trying to take out anything extraneous, and I end up with a small lyric poem that just happens. But each poem of mine goes through something like 100 revisions.
是这样，我有一种天然的冲动去浓缩。我其实喜欢创作长篇叙事诗和长篇小说。而每当我开始写长的东西，我总是努力删除掉那些无关的文字，最终写成的都是一些短小的抒情诗。但是每一首诗都经过上百次的修改。
您在寻求什么呢?
What are you seeking for？
Well, I want every word to have to be there, I want a certain kind of impact on the reader, the sort of condensed energy that can then go out.
我希望每个词都是非用不可的，我想给读者一种冲击，那种聚集的能量喷发而出的震撼。
您写了许多关于您自己的生活，关于家庭事务，关于现实生活的事情。您为什么喜欢选择这样的题材？
You write a lot about your life, domestic life, and real-life issues. Why do you prefer to write on these issues?
I have always written about what’s around me, but I mean, ther e’s always something changing. When my children were small, there were a lot of small children running through the poems. As friends and family have started to age and die, there’s a lot more darkness and death in them. But I think I’ve always been interested in the dangers that are under the surface, but seem like simple, ordinary domestic life. It may seem like smooth surfaces, but there are tensions and dangers right underneath, and those are what I’m trying to get at.
我一直写我身边的事。当然，很多事情总是在变化中的。当我的孩子们还小的时候，我的诗歌里有很多关于小孩子的内容。当我的朋友和家人逐渐老去，并离开我，诗中有许多黑暗和死亡。但我认为我总是对那些看似简单、寻常的家庭生活，实际是潜伏的危险感兴趣。表面看起来似乎风平浪静，但是底下却充满了紧张和危险，那些是我力图表达的。
我通常不会问诗人这个问题，但是您准备怎么用那10万美元？
Now, I don’t usually get to ask this of poets, but what will you do with $100,000?
I have seven grandchildren who are going to need some kind of help with college. So I’m going to do something serious with some of that money. But I felt that I had to do something really fun for myself, and since I am a compulsive reader, I am giving myself permission to but any books I want to buy. I used to write them down when I read about them or read reviews and wait a year until they came out in paperback. Now when they come out in hardback, if I want them I’m going to let myself buy them.
我有七个孙子孙女，他们需要资助来完成大学学习。所以，我打算用一部分钱帮忙他们。同时，我觉得我应该做些让我自己开心的事情。我是一个酷爱读书的人，我现在会允许自己买我想买的任何书。之前，我习惯抄下来
这些书的内容或者相关书评，然后等一年后简装版出来以后再买。现在如果我想要的话，就算是精装本，我也会毫不犹豫地买下来。
好，琳达帕斯坦，祝贺您并谢谢您与我们的交流。
Well, Linda Pastan, congratulations and thank you for talking to us.

校长先生，女士们，先生们：
Mr. President, ladies and gentlemen:
衷心感谢萨莫斯校长的盛情邀请。
I would like to begin by sincerely thanking President Summers for his kind invitation.
今天，我很高兴站在哈佛讲台上同你们面对面交流。中美两国相隔遥远，经济水平和文化背景差异很大。要了解一个真实的、发展变化着的、充满希望的中国，就有必要了解中国的昨天、今天和明天。
It’s my great pleasure today to stand on the rostrum of Harvard and have this face-to-face exchange with you. China and the United States are far apart geographically and they differ greatly in the level of economic development and a culture background. In order to understand the true China, a changing society full of promises, it is necessary to get to know her yesterday, her today and her tomorrow.
昨天的中国，是一个古老并创造了灿烂文明的大国。
China yesterday was a big ancient country that created a splendid civilization.
今天的中国，是一个改革开放与和平崛起的大国。
China today is a country in reform and opening-up and a rising power dedicated to peace.
中国有13亿人口，不管多么小的问题，只要乘以13亿，那就成为很大很大的问题；不管多么可观的财力、物力，只要除以13亿，那就成为很低很低的人均水平。解决13亿人的问题，不能靠别人，只能靠自己。从1978年
开始改革开放，我们终于找到了一条发展自己的正确道路。这就是，中国人民独立自主地建设有中国特色的社会主义。30年间中国创造的巨大财富，不仅使13亿中国人基本解决了温饱，基本实现了小康，而且为世界发展做
出了贡献。
Since China has 1.3 billion people, any small individual shortage, multiplied by 1.3 billion, become a big, big problem. And any considerable amount of financial and material resources, divided by 1.3 billion, becomes a very low per capita level. We can rely on no one except ourselves to resolve the problems facing our 1.3 billion people. By 1978, with the adoption of the reform and opening-up policies, we had ultimately found the right path of development---
the Chinese people’s path of independently building socialism with Chinese characteristics. The tremendous wealth created by China in the last thirty years has not only enabled our 1.3 billion countrymen to meet their basic need
for food, clothing and shelter, and basically realize a well-off standard of living, but also contributed to world development.
当然，中国仍然是一个发展中国家。城市和农村、东部和西部存在着明显发展差距。中国要达到发达国家水平，还需要几代人，十几代人甚至几十代人的长期艰苦奋斗。
Of course, China is still a developing country. There is an obviously gap between its urban and rural areas and between the eastern and western regions. For China to reach the level of developed country, it will still take the sustained hard work of several generations, a dozen generations or even dozens of generations.
明天的中国，是一个热爱和平和充满希望的大国。
China tomorrow will continue to be a major country that loves peace and has a great deal to look forward to.
中国已经制定了实现现代化的“三步走”战略。从现在起到2020年，中国要全面实现小康。到2049年，也就是中国人民共和国成立100周年的时候，我们将达到世界中等发达国家的水平。我们清醒地估计到，在前进的道
路上还要克服许许多多可以预见和难以预料的困难，迎接各种各样严峻的挑战。当然，中国政府和中国人民有足够的信心，艰苦奋斗，排除万难，实现我们的雄心壮志。
Now, China has laid down her three-step strategy toward modernization. From now to 2020, China will complete the building of a well-off society in an all-round way. By 2049, the year the People’s Republic of China will celebrate its centenary, we will have reached the level of a medium-developed country. We have no illusions but believe that on our way forward, we shall encounter many foreseeable and unpredictable difficulties and face all kinds of tough challenges. Of course, the Chinese Government and people are confident enough to overcome all the difficulties and achieve our ambitious goals through our vigorous efforts.
今天，人类正处在社会急剧大变动的时代。我呼吁，让我们共同以智慧和力量去推动人类文明的进步和发展。我们的成功将承继先贤，泽被后世。这样，我们的子孙就能生活在一个更加和平、安定和繁荣的世界里。我相信，这样一个无限光明、无限美好的明天，必将到来！
谢谢诸位。
Today, humanity is in the middle of a period of drastic social change. My appeal is that we work together with our wisdom and strength for the progress and development of human civilization. Our success will do credit to our forebears and bring benefit to our posterity. In this way, our children and their children will be able to live in a more peaceful, more tranquil and more prosperous world. I am convinced that such an immensely bright and
beautiful tomorrow will arrive!
二, 英 汉
Throughout my term as Secretary-General, I have sought to place human beings at the center of everything we do---from conflict prevention to development to human rights. Securing real and lasting improvement in the lives of individual men and women is the measure of all we do at the United Nations.
在担任联合国秘书长任期内，我一直设法把人放在所有工作之中心，从预防冲突到发展到人权，确保真正和持久的改善每个人的生活是我们在联合国所做的一切工作的衡量标准。
It is in this spirit that I humbly accept the Centennial Nobel Peace Prize. Forty years ago today, the Prize for 1961 was awarded for the first time to a Secretary-General of the United Nations posthumously, because Dag Hammarskjold had already given his life for peace in Central Africa. And on the same day, the Prize for 1960 was awarded for the first time to an African—Albert Luthuli, one of the earliest leaders of the struggle against apartheid in South Africa. For me, as a young African beginning his career in the United Nations a few months later, those two men set a standard that I have sought to follow throughout my working life.
正是本着这种精神，我谦卑地接受诺贝尔百年和平奖。40年前的今天，1961年的诺贝尔和平奖首次授予联合国秘书长--在他死后颁发，因为达格·哈马舍尔德已经在中非为和平献出了生命。在同一天，1960年的奖项首次颁
发给了非洲人艾伯特卢图利，他是反对南非种族隔离斗争的先驱之一。而对于我，一个几个月后刚刚加入联合国工作的年轻的非洲人来说，这两位前辈确立了我再整个工作生涯中一直努力依循的标准。
This award belongs not just to me. I do not stand here alone. On behalf of all my colleagues in every part of the United Nations, in every corner of the globe, who have devoted their lives—and in many instances risked or given their lives in the cause of peace—I thank the Members of the Nobel Committee for this high honor.
这个奖项不是颁给我个人的，我站在这里并不代表我个人。我代表着那些在联合国各个部门，在全球各个角落里努力工作的，在许多情况下为和平事业冒着生命危险甚至奉献出生命的所有同事。在此，感谢诺贝尔评选委员
会的所有委员们给予我们这一崇高荣誉。
My own path to service at the United Nations was made possible by the sacrifice and commitment of my family and many friends from all continents---some of whom have passed away---who taught me and guider me. To them, I offer my most profound gratitude.
之所以我来到联合国工作，我的家人和朋友们给了我很多帮忙，其中有些人已经离开了我们，他们都是我的良师益友。我对他们表示我最诚挚的感激。

As early as 1999, Chinese President Jiang Zemin and French President Jacques Chirac discussed and then decided the exchanging Culture Year to be hosted by the two countries in turn. The grand opening ceremony of the Chinese Culture Year is soon to be held in Paris. Why does China decide to hole such a cultural activity in a foreign country?
早在1999年，江泽民主席和希拉克总统就已商讨并决定，中法两国将互办文化年。不久，中国文化年将在法国巴黎隆重开幕。为什么中国要在外国举办这样一场文化活动呢？
中国文化年是中国“走出去”战略的重要组成部分，是中国改革开放大背景下应运而生的产物，也是我国加大改革开放力度的一个具体表现。随着中国综合国力的增强和国际地位的提高，中国在国际舞台上越来越令人瞩目，外界了解中国的愿望也日益强烈和迫切，今天的中国已经具备了“走出去”的能力。这一切为在世界范围内弘扬中国文化奠定了良好的基础，也为促进东西方交流提供了前所未有的契机。
As part of China’s strategy of “going global”, the Chinese Culture Year has emerged at the right moment under the Chinese policy of reform and opening-up, and in turn it exemplifies China’s intensifying that policy. With the improvement of its comprehensive national strength and its international status, China is now increasingly remarkable in the international arena. Meanwhile, there is an increasingly keen desire from the outside world to learn about China. Today China is ready to go global. All these have laid a solid foundation for us to popularize Chinese culture in the world at large and provided us with an unprecedented opportunity to promote the exchanges between the East and the West.
What kind of role does the culture exchange play in all international relations?
在各种国际关系中，文化交流起到了什么样的作用？
在21世纪，文化在国际关系中的作用和地位越来越突出，各国之间的文化交流与合作更显迫切和重要。不同文化之间的沟通有助于消除民族隔阂，促进国家间政治、经济关系的发展。因此，文化外交已经成为中国整体外交
的一个组成部分。
In the 21st century, the role and status of culture is becoming more and more critical in improving the international relations, therefore it is urgently important to conduct cultural exchanges and cooperation between countries. The communication of different cultures can help remove the misunderstanding between nations and improve the political and economic relationship among countries. Thus, cultural diplomacy has become part of the entire foreign affairs of China.
Why does China choose France as its destination to hole a Culture Year?
为什么中国会选择法国来举办这场文化年活动呢？
中国与法国是东西方两个具有代表性的国家，两国都十分重视保护和弘扬明祖文化，都主张积极开展不同文明间的对话和进行不同文化间的交流，都主张维护民族文化的特性，保护世界文化的多样性，促进世界文化多元化
的发展。文化关系在中法两国的关系中发挥着更为独特的作用，直接受到两国领导人的关注，成为两国关系的重要特征。文化交流是个互相学习、互相借鉴的过程。办文化年也是中国文化自身发展的需要。中国文化既要扎
根本土，坚守传统，又要紧跟时代。我们心悦诚服的赞赏其他国家、民族的先进文化，并以博大的胸怀博采众长。这是发展我们民族的、大众的、社会主义文化的需要。
China and France are the two representative countries in the Orient and the Occident. Both of them attach much attention to protecting and popularizing their national cultures, call for the dialogue between different civilizations and the exchange of different cultures, and advocate maintaining their national cultural characteristics while defending and promoting the diversity of cultures in the world. The cultural tie plays a unique role in the Sino-French relation, so it is a direct concern of the leaders of both countries and a hallmark of their relation. The cultural exchange is a process of learning and drawing on the merits of each other. To hold the Culture Year is , as a matter of fact, to meet the needs of the development of China’s own culture. Chinese culture, on the one hand, must keep its locality and tradition, and on the other hand, must keep pace with the times. We admire the advanced cultures of other nations and would like to learn from them openheartedly. This just meets the needs of developing our national, popular and socialist culture.
The Chinese Culture Year has three subjects of “Ancient China, Colorful China and Modern China”. Under these major subjects China will exhibit more than 300 cultural items to the French public, of which over 60 items will be focused on. This is really rich and colorful, isn’t it? And then what do you expect of the Chinese Culture Year?
中国文化年有三大主题“古老的中国，多彩的中国和现代的中国”，围绕这些主题，中国将向法国公众集中展示超过300项文化活动，其中重点项目又60多项，可谓丰富多采，琳琅满目。您对中国文化年有何期待？
这是在大文化的概念下的中法各个领域之间的交流与合作，300多个项目内容涵盖额外农学艺术、教育、科技、体育、民族、旅游等各个方面。大文化、小文化的概念是相对的，现在国际上文化交流通常使用的是大文化的概念。
This is a Sino-French exchange and cooperation in all fields in the broadest concept of culture. The 300-plus items to be exhibited cover the areas of literature and art, education, science and technology, sports, ethnicity and tourism. The broad and narrow concepts of culture are relative, and nowadays the former one is the most popular in the international cultural exchange.
What do you think should be done to help the common French people know about the Chinese Culture Year and let them take part in the activities?
您认为，怎样才能使中国文化年的活动尽可能为普通法国人知晓，并让他们参与到各项活动中来呢？
文化的交流是人与人的交流，是心灵的沟通。交流与沟通带来理解、友谊和合作。文化年间，我们当然会在剧院搞演出，在展厅搞书画展，在博物馆展示我们的国宝级文物，同时，我们还将在一些大众文化场所搞一些交流
活动，让更多的人了解中国文化。因为从本质上看，文化属于大众。总之，我们将以真诚的愿望、负责的精神，与法国有关部门和城市携手合作，把文化年的活动搞得既简朴又热烈，既有象征意义又有媒体效应。
Cultural exchange is actually the communication between people, the bridging of souls. Exchange and communication can bring about mutual understanding, friendship and cooperation. During our Culture Year, we will, of course, put on performances in theatres, display Chinese calligraphy and paintings in exhibition halls and show our national historical relics in museums. In the meantime, we will prepare some exchange activities in mass cultural places to let more people understand Chinese culture. For by nature, culture belongs to the masses. All in all, we will work closely with the concerned French departments and cities in a sincere and responsible manner to make a simple, fervent and symbolic Chinese Culture Year which will arouse great response from the mass media.
Finally I would like to know how you understand the characteristics of French culture.
最后，请谈谈您对法国文化特性的理解。

女士们，先生们，朋友们；
早上好！
Ladies and gentlemen, friends,
Good morning!
首先，请允许我代表中国中央电视台感谢“亚洲有限电视与卫星广播协会”的邀请，使我和我的同事能出席这个会议。我很高兴能有此机会与来自世界其他国家的同仁汇聚一堂，围绕当今世界电视业的发展与合作这一主题
交流我们的思想。组委会今天早上安排中国的专场，我对此表示感谢。在我昨天聆听的各家陈述中，我发现用的最多的词语是“可持续性”与“本土化”的媒体市场开发及其社会责任。我认为，要实现这个目标我们之间必
须共同努力。我发言的主题是“加强交流与合作——国际电视媒体的普遍需要”。
First of all, on behalf of China Central Television, please allow me to thank the Cable and Satellite Broadcasting Association of Asia for inviting my colleagues and me to attend this meeting. I am very pleased to have this opportunity to meet with our counterparts from other countries and to exchange ideas on the theme of television development and cooperation in today’s world. I would like to thank the organizing committee for arranging the China session this morning. Yesterday, I listened to the presentations made here and I found the most frequently used words are “sustainability “and“localization “for media market development and its social responsibility. To realize all this, I believe, we should work with each other. The theme of my speech is “Enhancing Exchange and Cooperation---the Common Need of the International Television Media.”
随着人类的不断进步与社会发展，世界已变小。然而，偏见与误解仍然存在。着就是为什么不同国家之间需要交流信息和互相了解。那么，广播与电视应当成为全世界交流与沟通的重要媒介。
With the continuous progress of mankind and social development, the world has become smaller. However, bias and misunderstanding still exist. That is why people of different countries need to exchange information and understand each other. Radio and television should become important media of exchanges and communications for people all over the world.
上个月，来自17个国家55个广播电视台的领导出席了在北京举行的电视广播博物馆国际理事会，之后又访问了上海。
Last month, leaders of 55 radio and television stations from 17 countries attended the International Council of the Museum of Television and Radio in Beijing and visited Shanghai afterward.
中国人民的老朋友亨利·基辛格博士曾经说过：“我第一次来中国的时候，这里只有为数不多的广播电视台，大概一千多个，而现在中国已有了巨大的进步”。基辛格的看法是对的。中国今年来的电视业已有了跨越式的发展。自从它1958年诞生以来，整个行业已有了大规模的发展。目前中国人拥有的电视机数量已近四亿台，人口覆盖率达94%。全国共有电视频道一千多个，有线电视申请户已超过一亿。中国中央电视台拥有十多个广播频道，每天播放节目时间超过240小时。目前，CCTV正深化其改革，不断实施促进频道专业化的发展战略，提高节目的质量，并使之具有鲜明的个性特色，最终达到增强CCTV在国际电视媒体中的竞争力。
Dr. Henry Kissinger, an old friend of the Chinese people, has ever said, “When I first came to China, here were only a limited number of radio and TV stations, said to be more than a thousand. China has made tremendous progress.” Indeed, as Dr. Kissinger observed, China’s television industry has developed by leaps and bounds in recent years. Since its birth in 1958, the industry has grown on a significant scale. Now the ownership of television sets has almost reached four hundred million in China with a coverage rate of 94 percent of the population. There are more than one thousand television channels and more than one hundred million cable subscribers from all over the country. China Central Television, or CCTV, has more than ten channels broadcasting more than 240 hours of programs very day. At present, CCTV is intensifying its reforms s and continuously implementing the development strategy of promoting channel specialization, programs with distinctive characteristics and quality programming to improve CCTV’s competitiveness among the international television media.
在中国，CCTV的社会影响已越来越大。也可以说电视是中国影响力最大的媒体。中国拥有13亿人口，其中10亿人能观看电视。据统计数据显示，每个中国人平均每天观看电视2小时。电视也是传播新闻与信息、普及科
学知识、提供文化娱乐与服务的重要工具。此外，CCTV每年的广告收入也逐年增加。
In China, CCTV has gained increasing social influence; we may say that TV is the most influential media in China. China has a population of 1.3 billion and 1 billion people watch TV. According to statistics, every Chinese watches
2 hours of TV per day. TV is also an important means to disseminate news & information, popularize scientific knowledge and supply cultural entertainment & social services. And CCTV’s advertising revenue also is growing
every year.
作为一个对世界开放的中国，极大地关注世界范围内电视业的发展，并在本行业里积极地参与国际交流与合作。目前，CCTV每年从海外进口大量的纪录片，动画片，体育节目，电影和电视剧。据统计数据显示，我们采购
并播放了1360部“探索”纪录片，121部电影，148部电视系列剧和116部动画系列片。
China, which is open to the rest of the world, pays a great deal of attention to the development of the television industry worldwide and actively participates in international exchanges and cooperation in the industry. At present, CCTV has imported a large number of documentaries, animated films, sports programs, movies and TV dramas from overseas every year. According to statistics, till now we have purchased and broadcast 1,360 series of documentary “Discovery”,121 movies, 148 TV serial dramas, and 116 series of animated films.
我们真诚地欢迎我们的国外通航以合适的方式与我们交流与合作。我相信我们的合作前景十分广阔。
We sincerely welcome our counterparts in foreign countries to develop cooperation and exchange with us in ways they deem suitable. I believe that the prospects for future cooperation are great.
二, 英汉 (重要)
Your Excellency,
Thank you for your words of welcome. I am grateful for your hospitality, and honored by this reception at one of China’s grea t universities.
尊敬的阁下，
谢谢阁下的欢迎词。十分感谢你们的热情好客，我很荣幸应邀来到中国这所了不起的学府。
I also thank the students here for this opportunity to meet with you, to talk a little bit about my country and answer some of your questions. The standards and reputation of this university are known around the world, and I know what an achievement it is to be here. I have two daughters in college, one at Yale and the other at the University of Texas. I am proud of my daughters just like I am sure your parents are proud of you.
我还要感谢在座的同学们，你们给我提供了与你们相识的机会，也让我有机会聊聊我的国家并回答你们准备要提的一些问题。这所大学的水准和声誉世人皆知。我明白，要就读这所大学很不容易，需要考出很高的成绩。我
的两个女儿也在上大学，一个念耶鲁大学，另一个念德克萨斯大学。我们为他们感到骄傲，正如你们的父母，也为你们感到骄傲。
Once, America knew China only by its history as a great and enduring civilization. Today, we see a China that is still defined by noble traditions of family, scholarship, and honor. And we see a China that is becoming one of the most dynamic and creative societies in the world as demonstrated by all the knowledge and potential right here in this room.
过去，美国只把中国看成是一个拥有悠久历史文明的大国。今天，我们看到的中国仍然是一个在家庭、学问和道义方面具有高贵传统的国家。我们看到的中国是一个在世界上最具活力、最具创造力的国家之一。在座各位所
拥有的智慧和潜力就能证明这点。
China is on a rising path and America welcomes the emergence of strong, peaceful, and prosperous China.
中国正欣欣向荣，美国乐于见到一个强大的、和平的、繁荣的中国。
We are a free nation, where men and women have the opportunity to achieve their dreams. No matter your background or circumstance of birth, in America you can get a good education, start a business, raise a family, worship freely and help elect the leaders of your community and country. You can support the policies of your government, or you are free to openly disagree with them. Those who fear freedom sometimes argue it could lead to chaos, but
it does not, because freedom means more than every man for himself.
我们是一个自由的国度，在那里，人人都有机会实现他们的梦想。在美国，无论你的背景如何，无论你出生在哪里，你都有机会接受良好的教育，创立自己的公司，组织一个家庭，信仰自由，参与选举地方领导人或者国家
领导人。你既可以支持我们的政府所制订的各项政策，也可以公开反对这些政策。害怕自由的人们有时会争辩说，那样做会引起混乱，但是那是不可能的，因为自由不只是个人所需。
Many of the values that guide our life in America are first shaped in our families, just as they are in your country. American Moms and Dads love their children and work hard and sacrifice for them, because we believe life can always be better for the next generation. In our families, we find love and learn responsibility and character.
在美国，许多指导我们生活的价格观都是首先在家庭中形成的，这与你们国家完全一样。美国爸爸妈妈很爱他们的孩子，为了自己的孩子，他们辛勤工作并做出牺牲，这是因为他们相信下一代的生活总是更美好的。在美国
的家庭中能寻找到爱，能培养自己的责任感和个性。
And many Americans voluntarily devote part of their lives to serving others. An amazing number nearly half of all adults in America volunteer time every week to make their communities better by mentoring children, visiting the sick, caring for the elderly and helping with a thousand other needs and caused. This is one of the great strengths of my country. People take responsibility for helping others without being told, motivated by their good hearts and often by their faith.
还有，很多美国人会自愿地牺牲自己的部分生活时间来为他人服务。有个惊人的数字表明，在美国，差不多有一半的成年人每周都会抽点时间来帮助改善社区生活，比如说指导孩子学习，看望病人，照顾老人以及帮助其他许许多多的需要帮助的人和事。这是我国强大的原因之一。他们帮助别人的责任都出于主动、出于善良和信仰。
The new China your generation is building will need the profound wisdom of your traditions. The lure of materialism challenges society in our country and in many successful countries. Your ancient ethic of personal and family responsibility will serve you well.
你们这代人正在建设的中国，需要继承其博大而智慧的传统文化。物质主义的魅力改变了我们的社会，在许多其他成功的国家也如此，但你们那种古老的伦理精神——个人与家庭的责任感——对你们的社会是适用的。
Behind China’s economic success today are talented, energetic people. In the near future, these same men and women will play a full and active role in your government. This university is not simply turning out specialists, it is preparing citizens. And citizens are not spectators in the affairs of their country. They are participants in its future.
今天，中国经济成功的背后有许多才华横溢，精力充沛的人们。在不久的将来，这些人将在中国政府中发挥积极的作用。这所大学不仅仅培养专家，也培养合格的公民。作为普通公民，他们绝非国家事务的旁观者，他们也在参与国家未来的建设。
Change is coming. China is already having secret ballot and competitive elections at the local level. Nearly twenty years ago, Deng Xiaoping said that China would eventually expand democratic elections all the way to the national level and I look forward to that day.
中国在变化，在这里已经有了不记名投票和地方一级的选举活动。差不多二十年前，邓小平先生说过，中国终将在全国范围内扩大其民主选举，直到人民能直接选举国家领导人。我期待着那一天的到来。
All of these changes will lead to a stronger, more confident China, a China that can astonish and enrich the world, a China that your generation will help create. This is one of the most exciting times in the history of your country, a time when even the grandest hopes seem within your reach.
所有这些变化都将造就一个更加强大，更加自信的中国，一个震惊世界，给世界添光彩的中国。这样一个中国，有你们这一代的参与，这将是你们国家历史上最激动人心的时刻。在这个时代里，你们能实现最宏大的愿望。

Hi, I will have a trip to Shanghai next week. I’ve heard it is a beautiful city in China, isn’t it?
I am told that Shanghai was formerly an unimportant fishing village. But now it has grown into one of the world’s largest sea ports and a major industrial and commercial center of China. Amazing changes! Would you please tell me more about it?
你好！我下周出差去上海，我听说那是一个美丽的城市，是么？
人家告诉我，上海以前是一个不起眼的小渔村，但现在竟成了全世界上最大的海港之一，还是中国主要的工商业中心。变化太大了！你能不能再多说说上海？
好的。上海因外国扩张在19世纪首次向世界开放，而最近，自20世纪80年代以来，它又重向世界敞开大门。现在，上海已经成为中国最富活力的国际大都市。它不断吸引国内外的人们来到此处。上海人闻名天下，他们有着商业天赋，反应迅速，处世精明，作为旅游城市，上海因其商业活动和美丽景致吸引国内外游客。
OK, You know, Shanghai first opened to the outside world in the 19th century as a result of the expansion of foreign nations and, more recently, has reopened to the outside world since 1980’s. Now, Shanghai has become China’s most energetic and cosmopolitan city. It has attracted immigrants from China as well as abroad. Its residents are known for their business talents, quick wit, and sophistication. A tourist city, Shanghai attracts travellers from home and abroad both because of its commercial activity and its scenic beauty.
I read from one tourist information guide that, as you walk through Shanghai, you may feel as though you are entering a fair of world architecture or an art gallery of human civilization. Do you think the words are an exaggeration?
就像你说的，我从旅游信息指南上看到，当你在上海漫步时，会感觉好像走入了世界建筑会或是人类文明艺术长廊，你认为这些话是不是有点夸张了？
哦。我认为这些话并没有夸张。事实上，上海的建筑风格多种多样，在世界上独树一帜。这种多样性反映了国内外建筑师、工程师、工人们的智慧和努力，是全世界的珍贵遗产。
Oh, I don’t think they are an exaggeration. In fact, Shanghai is unique among world cities in its variety of architectural styles. This variety reflects the wisdom and efforts of architects, engineers, and workers-both foreign and domestic-and is a precious legacy to the world.
I see. Would you recommend some scenic spots worth visiting in Shanghai?
我知道了，你能给我推荐一些在上海值得去的景点么？
当然。首先，我要向你推荐外滩。它曾是亚洲最著名的一条街，现在它临着黄浦江，绿树成荫，供游人漫步。外滩的壮观吸引着许多远东的大公司，它们纷纷在临江的建筑里设立总部。
Sure, first, I’d like to recommend you the Bund. Once the most famous street in Asia, it is a tree-lined promenade along the Huangpu River. All attracted by its grandeur, many major firms of the Far East had their headquarters in the building facing the river.
The guide also suggests that I visit the Yu Garden. What do you think of it?
指南上还建议我去逛逛豫园，你觉得这个提议怎样？非常感谢你的详细介绍。
豫园也值得一去.明朝的建筑风格在那里尽显其特色. 那是上海东南部的一个私人花园, 具有400多年的历史.
The Yu Garden is characteristic of the architectural style of the Ming Dynasty. It is a private garden in the southeast of shanghai, with a history of more than 400 years.
不用谢。还有很多地方不能错过呢。
You are welcome. And there are many other places you can’t miss touring, such as the Pudong area, Shanghai Botanical Gardens, Shanghai Museum, Oriental Pearl, etc.
我都等不及去上海了，我相信我在那里会很愉快。
希望你的上海之行愉快！
Wish you a good tour in Shanghai!

If you visit only one place in South Africa, make it Cape Town. It is reputed to be South Africa’s most beautiful and most vi sited city. You will find Cape Town nestling below Table Mountain, which stands sentinel over the city. Few cities in the world possess its beauty and style. Even though Cape Town is relatively small, there is plenty to see and do. The architecture is a mix of Dutch and English colonial styles. Attractions include the castle of Good Hope, built in the 17th Century and the District Six Museum. The city is a happy collision of many things: The Indian and Atlantic Oceans meet here, as well as vineyards, beaches and all types of Mediterranean cuisine, all cradled by Table Mountain. It is also the second-biggest city in South Africa for business, right behind Johannesburg, but infinitely better looking and more relaxed.
如果在南非你只想去一个城市，那就去开普敦吧。它被誉为南非最漂亮和最值得去的城市。它雄踞在桌山脚下，受桌山的护卫。开普敦风光旖旎，别具一格，世界上很少有城市能与其相比。尽管它面积不大，但是还有很多值得去看去玩的地方。这里的建筑风格混合了荷兰和英属殖民地的风格。旅游胜地包括建于17世纪的好望角和第六区博物馆。在这个地方，许多事物都愉快地碰撞在一起。印度洋和大西洋在这里交汇，葡萄酒，海滩和各种风格的地中海菜肴，都在桌山的孕育之下，融合在一起。它还是南非第二大商业中心，仅次于约翰内斯堡，但它远比约翰内斯堡美丽，令人愉悦。
The city has often been likened to San Francisco, but Cape Town has what San Francisco can never have---its spectacular mountain. Table Mountain is key to Cape Town’s identity. Wherever you are, you will see the huge flat topped icon overlooking the buildings in the city. It dominates the city in a way that is difficult to imagine until you visit. In the afternoon, when creeping clouds spill over the mountain, the whole town seems to shiver and hold its breath. Depending on which side of the mountain you live, it even dictates when the sun will rise and set. Many ambitious visitors attempt to climb the mountain, but by far the most relaxing route to the top is via the cable car, which goes through a 360 degree turn on its way to the top to provide a dizzying panoramic view.
人们常拿开普敦和旧金山相比，但是有一样旧金山永远无法拥有，那就是它雄奇的大山。桌山是开普敦不可缺少的一部分。无论走到哪里，你都能看到平阔如桌面的标志，俯视着城里的高楼大厦。除非你来此一游，不然实在很难想象这座大山如何控制着开普敦。下午当云层覆盖山顶，整个城市似乎都在屏息颤抖。如果住的方位不一样，大山甚至命令着在不同的时间日出日落。许多雄心勃勃的游人都想爬上山顶，但迄今最轻松的一条上山路线还是通过缆车，途中缆车360度转弯直达山顶，让你看到大山那令人目眩的万千景象。
Cape Town is surprisingly small. A stroll through the lovely city center reveals vestiges of Cape Town’s three centuries. While the British and Dutch may have colonized South Africa, thankfully their influence did n ot make it to the food. And everywhere, whether you’re eating outdoors at one of the country’s best restaurants or sipping wine atop. Table Mountain, you sense---correctly---that this is South Africa’s most urbane, civilized city. Modern South Africa was born here, and today it is a meeting plan for Africa and the rest of the world, which gives its own particular vibrancy.
开普敦城真的很小，在城市中心闲逛，开普敦三个世纪的历史印记比比皆是。虽然英国和荷兰曾经把南非作为其殖民地，值得庆幸的是，他们的影响力并没有渗透到饮食文化中去。无论是在全国最好的餐馆吃顿露天大餐，或是在桌山山顶细品葡萄酒。不管在哪里，你都会觉得这里是南非最优雅，最文明的城市。现代化的南非起源于此，而今天的开普敦将非洲和世界其他地方连在一起，散发出自己别有的活力。
Cape Town is home to the country’s best museums, restaurants, and ho tels. The diverse cultural heritage is evident when one visits the various national museums and sights such as the Castle Good Hope, dating back to the Dutch East Indies Company, the South African Cultural History Museum, the District 6 Museum.
开普敦还是这个国家最好的博物馆，餐馆和酒店的聚集地。当你游览各种国家博物馆和各景点的时候，各种不同的文化遗迹清晰可见。如可追溯到荷兰东印度公司的好运城堡，南非文化历史博物馆和第六区博物馆时等等。

Bravo! Though I know little about the background of the play, speaking from an artistic angle, the choreography, stage scenery, lighting and music are just fabulous. In particular, the young dancers’ performance was wonderful.太棒了！虽然我不了解剧的背景，但从艺术角度来看，整个剧从编舞到舞台布景，灯光和旋律都非常美。特别是年轻演员的表现太精彩了。
多谢！作为中央芭蕾舞团献给中国文化年的第一份厚礼，《红色娘子军》是我国芭蕾舞剧的经典剧目之一。它可以说是既带有中国的传统舞蹈特色，又吸纳了欧洲古典芭蕾的精华。
Thanks. As a gift presented by the National Ballet of China to the Chinese Culture Year, the classical ballet The Red Detachment of Women is a combination of traditional Chinese dance and the cream of classical European ballet. You’ve taken the words out of my mouth! Just as the director of a local opera house commented, the ballet is China’s Giselle. Speaking of the Chinese Culture Year, could you enlighten me a little?
你正是我想说的！正如当地一家歌剧院的主管所说，这部芭蕾舞剧就是中国的《吉赛尔》。说到中国文化年，您能大致介绍一下么？
中国文化年是中国与贵国建交35周年纪念活动的组成部分。前年，在两国领导人的倡议下，决定于今年在两国互办一系列的文化交流活动。文化年的交流项目共计200多个，涉及的领域包括文学艺术、教育、科技、体育、民俗、旅游等。该文化年是迄今为止中国与外国开展的最大规模的文化交流活动。
The Chinese Culture Year is part of the activities initiated the year before last by the leaders of our two countries to celebrate the 35th anniversary of diplomatic relations between China and your country. This year as planned, the two countries have inaugurated respectively a series of cultural exchange activities. More than 200 projects are involved, covering fields such as art and literature, education, science and technology, sports, folklore and tourism. This event marks the largest-ever cultural-exchange activity jointly hosted by China and a foreign country.
You know I am a cultural vulture. Anything foreign instantly arouses my interest. Could you recommend some events that I might go to?
我对文化非常着迷。任何外国的东西都能马上引起我的兴趣。您能推荐一些我可以观赏的活动么？
没问题! 可是活动太多了, 我真不知从何说起. 从这些活动中, 你不仅可以领略古老中国文化的恒久魅力, 又可感受到当代中国文化的创造活力.
You bet! But with so many activities, where should I begin? From these , you can get a certain sense of the enduring charm of china’s ancient cultural achievements and its creative vigor of modern times .
Thanks for your information. As the saying goes, what is national also belongs to the world, more and more people across the world are getting hooked up to the Chinese culture. And I hear the Chinese government is sparing no efforts in protecting its cultural heritage.
谢谢您的介绍。常言道，民族的，也是国家的。世界上越来越多的人开始迷上了中国文化。我也听说中国政府在保护文化遗产方面是不遗余力的。
Really amazing! I won’t miss such Chinese cultural extravaganza on my doorstep. And I believe activities like these will surely help promote the understanding and friendship between our two peoples.
真了不起！我不会错过这场家门口的中国文化盛宴。我相信像这样的交流活动必将促进两国人民间的友谊和了解的。

Welcome to the British Museum. Before we start our tour, I’d like to brief you on the history of this world-renowned treasure house of knowledge.
欢迎来到大英博物馆。在开始我们的旅程之前，我给大家简单介绍下这座举世闻名的知识宝库。
The origins of the british museum lie in the collection of sir hans sloane 1660-1753, an eminent physician and naturalist . Sloane bequeathed his museum of 80,000 objects, his herbarium and library of George II For the brithish nation in return for payment of $20,000 to his daughters .by the british museum act of 1753, parliament provided for funds to be raised by public plotter on 15 january, 1759, the british museum opend to the public . with the of two world wars, when parts of the collection were evacuated , it has remained open ever since, gradually incteasing its opning hours and moving from an attendance of perhaps 5, 000 a year to more than 5 million today .
大英博物馆源于一位杰出的医师和自然学家汉斯.斯隆爵士的藏品.斯隆将其八万件藏品, 植物标本以及乔治二世图书馆捐献英国而得到二万英镑作为遗产留给女儿.根据1753年通过的大英博物馆法案, 由议会提供通过公众彩票
筹集的经费. 1759年1月15日, 博物馆向公众开放.除了两次大战期间部分展品被疏散转移外, 大英博物馆一直开放至今, 其开放时间不断延长, 参观人数也由原来的约一年五千人增至今天的五百多万人.
From its beginnings the British Museum was a new type of institution. Governed by a body of Trustees responsible to Parliament, its collections belonged to the nation, and admissions were free and open to all. Entry was directed
to be given to all studious and curious persons and throughout the Museum’s history public enjoyment has been linked with scholarship and education. From the first a Reading Room was provided in which readers could consult the library and learned staff were engaged to curate and catalogue the collections.
创办伊始，大英博物馆便是一种新型机构，它由数名向议会负责的理事管理，藏品属国家所有，免费向全体公众开放。所有热爱学习和有求知欲的人士均得入而受指引。博物馆的发展历史坚持将公众享受与研究教育相结合。建馆之出，便设立提供阅览室，供读者查询。同时雇用学识渊博的职员来管理和整理藏品。
The foundation collections largely consisted of books, manuscripts and natural history with some antiquities and ethnography. The museum was first housed in a 17th-century mansion which was quickly outgrown by the rapidly expanding collections. In 1823 the gift to the nation by George IV of his father’s substantial library (the King’s Library) provided the catalyst for the construction of the present neo-classical building designed by Sir Robert Smirke. The first phase was largely completed in 1852, followed in 1957 by the round Reading Room, erected in Smirke’s central courtyard.
博物馆的基本藏品主要有各类书籍、手稿和展示自然历史的古董以及人种学的展品。起初，博物馆在一座17世纪的宅邸里，后因藏品数量和品类的快速增长而变得局促。1823年，乔治4世将其父亲藏品丰富的图书馆捐献出来，这成了建造现在新古典主义风格新馆的催化剂。该馆由罗伯特·斯莫科爵士设计，第一期工程于1852年基本完成，随后在1857年建成圆形的阅览室。阅览室伫立在斯莫科中央庭院。
The 19th century was a time of popular expansion and, particularly on public holidays, the Museum attracted great crowds of all ages and backgrounds. While the scholarly work continued with the publication of the Museum’s great series of learned catalogues, many curators took an interest in broadening the Museum’s appeal through lectures and improved display. The first popular synopsis(guide)to the collections was published in 1808.
19世纪是博物馆向大众大开大放的时期，特别在公众假期，不同年龄，不同背景的公众纷至沓来。博物馆出版了几大学术目录系列，使学术工作得以继续。与此同时，历任馆长对增加博物馆的公众魅力产生了兴趣，于是开
始举办讲座并改进展出的效果。1808年，第一本面向大众的展品简介出版发行。

您好！史密斯先生。我叫张锋，是上海技术进口公司的。这是我们第一次见面，但其实我们是老朋友了。在过去的函电往来中，我经常见到您的名字，久仰了。
How do you do, Mr. Smith? My name is Zhang Feng from Shanghai Technical Import Corp. Though it is the first time for us to meet here, we are already old friends. I have been very familiar with your name in the past business correspondence. I have long expected to see you.
This is my first visit to the metropolis of Shanghai and I am deeply impressed by what I see here.
这是我第一次到上海这个大都市来，所见所闻，印象深刻。
您到这儿已经好几天了吧？参观过哪些地方呢？
You have been here for quite several days, I suppose. What scenic spots have you visited here?
Yes, I’ve been round the city, and seen some famous historical spots. I enjoyed the visits very much.
是的，整个城市都逛了一圈，参观一些名胜古迹，非常喜欢。
您喜欢我们的城市，我很高兴。在付款问题上您给我们带来了什么好消息呢？
I’m glad that you like our city. What good news have you got for us on the payment?
Well, I think we have explained to you in our correspondence why we could not accept your proposal. As you know, the complete set of equipment you intend to buy from us will involve in the whole factory equipment including the necessary accessories and parts. It is time and money consuming to manufacture all these. All in all, it involves a tremendous sum of money which is beyond our means.
是这样，我想在我们往来信函里已经解释了我们为何不能接受你们的提案。你方打算从我方购买的那套成套设备，将涉及一个完整工厂的设备，包括必要的附加部件。要想制造所有这些，需要付出大量的时间和资金投入。
总而言之，这需要一笔巨额的金钱，但是这超出了我们的财务能承担的范围。
史密斯先生，我们所要买的这个成套设备是不小，但是说你们公司的财务负担不了，那恐怕是过谦了吧？贵公司是世界上有名的几家大跨国公司之一，在全世界二十多个国家有四十家分公司，我们要买的这个成套设备对你
们来说根本算不了什么。
Mr. Smiths, it’s sure that the complete plant we intend to buy is not small, but I’m afraid you are too reserved when you say it is beyond your financial capacity. Your company is one of the largest and most famous multinationals
in the world, having 40 branches in more than 20 countries. So, it is nothing for you to finance the manufacturing of the complete plant.
But, Mr. Zhang, you should understand that a branch of the multinational does not mean the company itself. Each branch is independent with regard to finance and accounting. Of course, this does not mean there is no mutual help between the head office and the branches. However, any of our plans must be approved by the board of directors of the multinational before it is put into practice.
张先生您知道的，跨国公司的分公司不等于跨国公司本身。在财务上和帐务上，每个公司都是独立的。当然，这也不是说总公司和分公司之间不会互相帮助。但是，我们的任何计划在实施前都必须得到公司董事会的批准。
我能够理解。跨国公司的财务和记账都是单独核算的。在我们中国，现在出现了许多联合企业，虽然都是社会主义所有制，但是联合企业内部各单位也要实行独立核算，自负盈亏的。你们的分公司我们是了解的，单独制造
我们要买的这些成套设备对你们来说是毫无问题的，况且必要的时候你们总部还会给予财务帮助呢。我相信你们总部的董事听说你们在与中国做生意，在批准财务帮助方面是会给予帮助的。
I can understand that the branches of a multinational are independent in their financing and accounting. In China, we have a lot of associated enterprises. Though they are of socialist ownership, each unit within the associated enterprise is independent in finance and is responsible for its own financial gains or losses. We know the condition of your branch. It is out of question for you to manufacture the complete plant that we intend to buy. Whatever,
with regard to the finance, you may get help from the head office whenever necessary. I’m sure that the board of the directors, when they told that you are doing business with China, will give favorable consideration to providing your financial help.
Oh, I agree on the point. But you see, even if our head office gives us any financial aid, interest has to be paid just the same as a loan from a commercial bank. In that sense, our own money would be tied up in your plant while we had to pay interest to the head office for the money borrowed from them.
我同意你说的这一点。但是你知道么，即使总公司给我们财务援助，利息还是要付的，就像你从银行贷款一样。如果这样的话，我们自己的资金都陷在你们的设备上，一边还要向总公司支付利息。
史密斯先生，我得提醒您，我们在上次电报中报销接受你们的最后一次报价时，就考虑了我们付款较晚这样一个因素，也就是说，我们现在双方同意的价格，比按正常付款方式的定价是偏高一些的。
Mr. Smith, I would like to remind you that we took into consideration the factor of deferred payment when we cabled you our acceptance of your final offer that means the present price agreed upon by our two parties is a bit higher than that for the normal payment terms .
But we did not expect the payment to be effected after actually receiving the shipment. It’s even more unfavorable to us than the D/P terms, and besides, we haven’t any banker’s guarantee.
但是我们没有预料到你们的付款要推迟到你方收到货物之后，这对我们来说比见单付款的方式还要不利。而且，还没有银行担保。
关于银行保证，我们可以请中国银行担保。您有什么具体建议么？
As to the guarantee of a bank, we may ask Bank of China for help. Do you have any specific proposal now?
Yes. I propose that payment be made by installments, that is, after each shipment we will send you the Bs/L and other necessary documents through our bank and yours---Bank of China. As long as the documents are in order you should effect payment without delay. To ensure the payment, Bank of China should give us a written letter to the effect that they will guarantee for the whole transaction, or give separate letters of guarantee for separate installments. Either way, the letter of guarantee should reach us two months before shipment is due, as stipulated in the contract.
我建议采用分期付款的办法，即每次装运之后，我们会通过我方银行和你们的中国银行把提单和其它一些必要的单证转交你方。只要单证符合要求，你方就得付款，不得拖延你。为了保证付款，中国银行应该给我们一个担保函，大意是如果买方不能付款，中国银行保证付款。无论用哪种方式，担保函必须在合同规定的装运期前两个月到达我方。
您的这个建议似乎可行，但我现在不能就答应您，我要回去向我们的总经理汇报。我们公司内部要对这个问题进行研究，还要跟中国银行商量。待我们拿出最终方案后，下周五我们在同一地点会面，您看这样好不好？
Your proposal seems to be acceptable, but I cannot promise you anything now. I have to report to our general manager. We will hold a discussion on this issue within our company and consult it with Bank of China. Shall we meet again here next Friday when we can give you the complete scheme?
OK. I am looking forward to your favorable reply. Now it is one o’clock in the afternoon. I would like to invite you to a lunch if you don’t mind.
好的，希望尽快收到肯定的答复。现在是下午1点了，如果不介意的话，一起吃个饭吧。
好的，我们一块儿走吧。谢谢您的邀请。
Alright, let’s go. Thank you for your invitation.

女士们，先生们；
Ladies and gentlemen,
早上好！能在此作基调发言我感到十分荣幸。“在实施商务解决方案方面有何新举措，下一步该怎样走？”大会组织者提出这样的问题，在某种程度上按时了我们正处在一个十字路口。
Good morning! I’m glad to be here, and honored to be giving this keynote address. By posing the question, “What’s new and what’s next in implementing business solutions,” the conference organizers are, in some way, suggesting that we are at a crossroads.
我基本赞同这样的说法，在过去几年来我们已经走过了漫长的路，而现在我们必须来完成一些非常具体的事情以便充分挖掘电子商务的潜力。我想继续鞭策我们当中的每一位，要学以致用；要认识到在电子商务的诸多组成因素中，我们不能特立独行，而必须团结起来形成一个行业。
I would tend to agree that over the past few years we’ve come a long way, and there are now some very specific things that we must accomplish to fully tap the potential of e-business. I’d like to continue challenging each of us to use what we’ve learned, and to recognize that for many components of e-business, we can’t go it alone.” We must act as an industry.
在这为期两天的大会中，大家将不止一次的听说“化工产业的电子商业正走向成熟”。电子商务不仅提高了我们的成效，也提高了我们的竞争力。总而言之，电子商务让我们重新思考应如何与我们的客户以及在我们之间进行合作。
You’ll hear it said more than once during this two-day event: E-business in the chemical industry is coming of age. E-business is making us more effective and competitive---it’s making us rethink how we work with customers and each other.
然而，我们还有很长的路要走。在诸多方面，技术只不过是简单易行的一面。
But there’s still a long way to go. And in many respects, the technology is the easy part.
电子商务是IT行业革新进程中最新出现的一个篇章。正如历史上其他各技术领域一样，电子商务所能产生的巨大影响须等到该领域的技术被普通百姓所接受的时候才会充分显示出来。所说的普通百姓，不是早期接受该领域技术的少数人，不是试验者，而是广大群众。每一代技术的出现都是如此，例如从印刷出版业到传真，到无线电广播，到电视，再到因特网。
E-business is just the latest chapter in the IT “revolution.” And, like virtually every field of technology in history, the full force of its impact will not be felt until the technology is used by ordinary people. Not the early adopters, not the experimenters, but the majority of people. And that’s true with each generation of technology—from the printing press to the telegraph, to radio, to television and to the Internet.
如何通过电子商务把我们的同事、雇员、供应商、客户以及其他每一位与我们有业务往来的人合理的联系在一起，这是我们要做的事情。只有当我们这样做了，我们才会在观念上处于领先地位。我们必须率先把电子商务与化工和塑料产品的生产及销售牢牢的结合起来。
It’s up to us to make e-business both relevant and sensible to our colleagues, our employee suppliers, customers and everyone else we do business with. Only then will we make the leap in perception. And we must make the leap to firmly engrain e-business into the production and sale of chemicals and plastics.
我们这个行业的集体思维习惯必须改变。电子商务不仅仅是一股技术潮流，也不仅仅是省钱的途径。事实上它是“技术”的自然延伸，而这样的技术已经变成了我们日常经营活动不可分割的部分。
The collective mindset of our industry must change. E-business is not just a technology trend. Nor is it just a way to save money. In fact, it is a natural extension of the “technology “that is already integrated into the fabric of our everyday operations.
二, 英汉
First of all can I thank Euromoney for having put on this Business Forum and thank so many of you for coming to listen to me, and I am absolutely delighted to be back in Shanghai again. I came here first in 1988. I don’t suppose any of these buildings were here in 1988. Then I came back five years ago, and I have come back today and I have seen another remarkable transformation. It is a quite extraordinary city you have here, and congratulations to everybody who is involved in its development, because I think you are well on your way to being a world class city by 2015.
首先我要谢谢欧洲货币组织为我们举办了这次商业论坛，谢谢大家来这里听我的发言，能又一次来到上海我尤感高兴。我第一次来上海是在1988年，那时这些建筑都还没有建成。5年前，我来过一次，今天，我又来了。我看到了是另一番巨变。你们拥有的是一座非凡的城市。我祝贺在座的所有参与了发展这座城市的各位。我想到2015年，你们肯定会把它建设成为世界一流的大都市。
We fully support that ambition, and I should also say congratulations to Shanghai because they won their bid to host the Expo in 2010. And the links between UK companies and Shanghai are getting ever closer, and actually between the people as well. When I was with the Mayor, walking along the Bund just a short time ago, there was a woman journalist who rushed up to ask me a question. She finished asking me the question, and I asked her---because I thought she spoke very good English---Where she had learned English. She has just been a Cambridge graduate and is returning to do her viva for her degree. And it is an amazing thing to think now that you have more Chinese students coming to the UK than any other country.
我们全力支持你们的雄心壮志，并祝贺上海赢得了2010年世博会的主办权。英国公司和上海的关系越来越紧密，当然，人们之间的连接也更紧密。不久前，当我与上海市长漫步外滩的时候，有一位女记者跑上前来提了一个问题。当她问完后，我问她从哪里学的英文，因为我觉得她的英文说的非常好。她说她刚从剑桥大学毕业，第二天就要返回英国参加学位答辩。现在到英国留学的中国学生远比其他任何国家的都要多，这是一件多么令人惊喜的事情。
And there are other things that I think we are learning from each other too. Take urban development for example. Some development projects in China, such as the western development strategy, aim to meet the core infrastructure need, and this is an area where we have got very particular strengths, because our experience in urban regeneration, and in particular in getting public and private sectors to work together, is something that I think we have to offer you by way of expertise here in Shanghai.
我想我们之间能互相学习的地方还有很多。拿城市发展来说，中国的某些发展计划，比如西部大开发战略，是以满足核心基础建设为目标的，而这一领域正是我们的强项。我们在城市改造方面，特别是促进政府和私人企业共同合作方面非常有经验。我们可以通过利用上海这里的专业技术向你们提供这些经验。
Your sister city in the UK, as you know, is Liverpool. And the links between those two cities are important obviously in a cultural sense, but they are also important because we can offer some good examples of how urban regeneration can transform a city. Now you are transforming Shanghai obviously in an extraordinary way already, but it is interesting that some of the same principles that we apply in the northwest of England, in Liverpool, apply here as well. And we believe our expertise has something to offer you there too.
上海在英国的兄弟城市是利物浦。把这座城市联系在一起的重要性首先表现在文化方面，此外还在于我们能在城市改造方面提供良好的借鉴。尽管你们正以一种独特非凡的方式改造上海，但有意思的是，我们在英国西北部的利物浦所实施的城市改造策略同样适用于上海。我们相信，在有关专业技术方面我们能提供某些帮助。
There is another area in which we can help, and I have just been discussing this with some of your entrepreneurs and city officials upstairs. The UK is a world leader in the development of public-private partnerships, which involve the public and the private sector working together to provide infrastructure and services. And in the UK, the private financing initiatives have enabled us to develop our infrastructure more cost effectively, more quickly and to a higher quality than otherwise would have been possible. And it is playing a big part now, as I was explaining to your people upstairs. It is playing a big part in allowing us to have major public sector building programmers delivered on budget and on cost.
还有一个领域我们可以提供帮助。我跟你们的企业家和上层政府官员讨论过这个问题。英国在公共与私有合作开发方面处于世界领先水平，也就是公共部门和私人企业之间进行合作从事基础建设和提供服务。在英国，与其它方式比较，私人融资的启动让我们能够在基础建设方面更节约成本、速度更快、质量更高。正如我向你们高层人士所阐述的那样，私有融资方式正发挥着巨大的作用，它能让我们在预算和成本方面挽救那些大型的公共部门建设项目。
And coming here to Shanghai, I want to say to you first of all how delighted I have been to see the enormous progress in this city; but secondly to express my profound admiration for what you are doing here, not just in Shanghai, but throughout the whole of China to bring progress and wealth to all your people.
来到上海，首先我要对你们说的是，当我看到了这个城市的巨大进步时我是多么的高兴么。还有，你们不仅发展了上海，而且发展了全国，给人民创造了财富，为此我要表达我对你们的崇敬之情。

What would you say are some of the key differences that you have noticed in management and work style between China and the West?
您认为中西方在管理和工作方式之间有哪些主要差异？
我发现有些明显的差异，例如，中国的经理做事紧张而快速，总给人一种压力感和紧迫感。在中国我有时感到，我们在处理事务的时候似乎不像你们西方人那样重视计划，也就是说，我们强调的是短期目标。确实我们有这样一种感觉，在紧张和压力下我们会把事情做得更好。但是出现了一个很有意思的矛盾，那就是在我们更宽泛的中国文化环境里，我们是非常注重长远计划的。同样，我了解到许多西方的经理仍在抱怨他们的财政计划限制太死，时间不够长。
There are some obvious differences that I detect. For example, Chinese managers like to hurry and do things very quickly—there is always a sense of pressure and urgency. In China I sometimes sense that in our business dealing we do not always place the same importance on planning as you seem to in the West—our focus tends to be on the short term. Indeed there is the perception that we perform better under stress and time pressure. But an interesting contradiction is that in our wider Chinese culture we are very long-term focused! Equally, I know that many Western managers complain about their narrow short-term financial focus!
What about the role of leadership and the differences you see there?
那领导作用和领导差异有什么不同么？
一谈到领导和权利，我就发现差异是多方面的。在西方，领导权通常是以任务为中心的，而且直接了当。而中国经理更注重的是谁是否胜任某项工作和任务。在中国，个人关系会决定谁能够做什么事情。在中国的传统文化里，公司老板掌握着全部的权力，组织等级是管理一个组织或者公司的关键因素，是经营一家公司的主要机制。公司的老板必须无所不知并能够随时指名方向。员工总是期待老板的指示和领导，因此也过多地依赖他们的老板。
There is a lot of difference when it comes to leadership and authority. In the West, leadership often tends to be task=focused and straightforward. Chinese managers, however, tend to be more focused on to determine who is awarded a role or task. In China, the personal relationship will determine who gets to do what. In traditional Chinese culture the boss is all-powerful and the organizational hierarchy is a critical element of managing an organization or business---it is the key mechanism to running the business. As a boss you are expected to know all the answers and be the source of clear direction. People expect the boss to instruct and lead at all times, and the staff will wait for that instruction and thus be heavily dependent on the boss.
How do you compare this approach to the Western one?
您是如何比较中西方之间这种方式方法的？
对比之下，我认为西方的经理要开放得多，与人相处也比较平等。总而言之，西方人能够共商更多的事务。在这些讨论中，可以看出他们对待问题的主人翁精神和对项目投入负责的态度。在中国人看来这种做法只能会导致决策的缓慢，甚至在某些情况下导致尴尬。中国人的行为方式通常引起快速做出决定。但这并不意味着人们就认真积极地参与了决策。他们对公司的忠诚不见得明显。当你看见中国人行色匆匆谋求发展的时候，就知道他们对公司不够忠诚。
In contrast I see Western managers as much more open and egalitarian. Generally speaking, people are consulted on more issues. From these discussions, ownership of the problem or commitment to the project is sought and believed to follow. To the Chinese this may seem to result in slow decision making and in some cases frustration. Whilst Chinese behavior often results in fast decisions, it does not imply that people are committed to the decision. Indeed loyalty is not necessarily seen as a strong trait. At the moment I see people moving on very quickly in China in order to progress-there is little allegiance or loyalty to organizations.
Much has been made about differences in dealing with conflict. How do you see these?
在处理冲突和矛盾时所表现出来的差异，已经有了不少说法，您是如何看待这些差异的？
许多人都知道，中国人一般回波在公共场合或在公开会议上处理冲突和矛盾。丢面子在亚洲国家是一个大禁忌，丢面子被认为是很可耻的事情。在公开会议上发难而引起对某人的批评被认为是一大错误。但这并不意味着中国的经理互相之间就没有冲突，他们处理冲突的方式通常是私下的和秘密的。在公开会议上，中国的经理说话时总显得矜持和委婉，他们处理矛盾的方式是柔弱迂回的。西方人乐于在公开论坛上诘难，而这种做法通常被认为是一种态度积极的表现，处理冲突的方式都是公开和直接的，问题已出现，通常能马上得到处理。
As many people might already know, managing conflict in public or open meetings is largely avoided in China. In Asia the loss of face is a major taboo. Losing face is viewed as something quite shameful. Addressing difficult problems in an open meeting that results in someone being criticized is a big mistake. That is not to say the Chinese managers do not have conflicts with each other. Rather they will deal with any conflicts in private and in a confidential manner. In open meetings Chinese managers are likely to be indirect and reserved. They will handle differences in a soft and circuitous way. In the West you tend to be quite happy to address problems in an open forum. It is often viewed as a positive experience. Conflict is often dealt with in an open and direct way; where problems occur they are frequently dealt with head on.
What are the Chinese managers like in the eyes of the Westerners?
在西方管理人眼里，中国管理者是怎样的？
我想许多欧洲的经理都认为中国人经常改变想法，行为中表现出前后矛盾。我觉得有些西方经理对中国的管理干部抱有偏见。有部分人认为中国人古板、不可靠。也常听到西方人说中国人缺乏专业知识和能力。当然，我们不可能任何时候都知道西方的最新标准，但我们做事情是快速而又效率的。
I think that many European managers view the Chinese managers as constantly changing their minds and being inconsistent in their actions. I sense that some Western managers have a prejudiced view of the Chinese management cadre. Some perceive the Chinese as inflexible and unreliable. Comments that the Chinese lack expertise and competence are also common. Clearly we do not always know the latest Western standards but we can be very quick and dynamic.
And in the eyes of the Chinese managers, what are the Western managers like?
那么，在中国管理者眼中，西方管理者是怎样的？
在制定和完成决策方面，西方的经理在中国的老板眼里总是笨拙缓慢的。中国的老板不理解为什么西方的老板还要经过协商并向其总部汇报。这种做法通常被认为是缓慢的官僚作风。中国的经理认为西方的经理只说不做。学会理解这些差异在某种程度上能帮忙我们明白事理。说到底，不管站在哪个角度来看，都不能说是对或错，只能说各有不同。
Indeed Western managers can be seen by Chinese bosses as slow and cumbersome in making and carrying out decisions. The Chinese boss cannot understand why the Western boss has to consult and collaborate and report back to HQ. This is often viewed as slow and bureaucratic. You hear managers in China saying that Western bosses talk too much and don’t take decisions. At the end of the day neither perspective is right or wrong but rather just different. Learning to understand these differences goes some way to helping us understand the issues.
Section2二, 英汉
Good morning! I want to thank Frank Clegg and Microsoft Canada for bringing us all together for this second summit on business leadership issue, and particularly for giving us the opportunity to discuss the issue of innovation.
早上好！谢谢弗兰克·克莱格和微软加拿大邀请我们大家一起参加第二届商业领导力峰会，尤其感谢他们提供给了我们一个机会聚在一起，共同讨论创新的话题。
In the 19th century, railroads were the big innovation. Perhaps nothing matched their economic impact until the advent of the personal computer. But some of you may wonder what a railroader has to say about innovation in the 21st century.
19世纪，铁路在革新方面迅猛发展，在个人计算机技术问世之前，它对经济所产生的影响或许无与伦比。但是也许你们中的有些人会想，到了21世纪，如果再谈创新，铁路经营者又有何看法呢？
My message is that no enterprise needs to be more innovation than an established business in a mature industry.
我的演讲主题是，在已经发展成熟的行业里，一家基业已定的公司比其他任何公司都需要更多的创新。
Interpretation Training Test Paper C (Tape script) Part A ( E-C) (50%) Directions: In this part of the test, you will hear two passages in English. Each passage consists of two paragraphs. After you have heard each paragraph, interpret it into Chinese. You may take notes while listening. Passage 1 (25%): Mr. President, your state visit to our country gives us the opportunity and responsibility to chart a course for the future that is more positive, more stable and, hopefully, more productive than our relations have been for the last few years. China is a great country with a rich and proud history and strong future. The direction China takes toward cooperation or conflict will profoundly affect Asia, America, and the world for decades. The emergence of a China as a power that is stable, open and non-aggressive, that embraces free markets, and that works with us to build a secure international order is deeply in the interest of our people. Passage 2 (25%): For most people, almost any place can become a tourist destination as long as it is different from the place where the traveler usually lives. New York may not be a tourist attraction to a New Yorker, but for a Londoner it may have many charms. The famous tourist sites of many big cities offer a unique historic atmosphere, such as the Great Wall and the Palace Museum of Beijing, and the Buckingham Palace and St Paul’s Cathedral of London. Tourists will indeed be affected by the unusual atmosphere of those cities. Smaller towns and rural areas throughout the world have attractions of this kind for tourists. An excellent example is the small village town of Zhou Zhuang in China, known as “the Venice of the Orient”. Of course, natural scenery has always been an attraction for tourists. Tens of thousands of people visit Niagara Falls every year, for example. Its reputation as a place for honeymoon is world-famous. Part B ( C-E) (50%) Directions: In this part of the test, you will hear two passages in Chinese. Each passage consists of two paragraphs. After you have heard each paragraph, interpret it
Unit 1 李颖：We are going to ascend the great wall tomorrow morning. So I’d like to go to bed early and have a good sleep this evening. You know climbing the great wall is not an easy job. 明天早上我们计划去爬长城，所以我想今晚早点休息，好好睡一觉。你知道爬长城可不是一件简单的事情。 Jack: Great. The Great Wall is very famous and becomes a must for tourist in Beijing. Would you tell me something about it? 好啊。长城那么有名，是游客来北京必去的景点。你能和我说一说长城么？ 李颖：OK. The construction of the great wall took altogether over 2000years.it started in the Zhou dynasty in the 7th century. B.C. And continued until Ming Dynasty in the 15th century A.D. The existing wall was built in the Ming Dynasty. 好。长城的整个建筑过程持续了总共两千多年，始于公元七世纪的周朝，后来一直延续到公元后十五世纪的明朝。现存的城墙都是明朝修建的。 Jack: The Great Wall is indeed the crystallization of the industry and wisdom of the Chinese people and also a symbol of ancient Chinese culture. Then why the ancient people built the wall? 长城的确是中国人民勤劳智慧的结晶，同时也是中国古代文化的象征.那么为什么古代人民要修建长城呢？ 李颖：It was constructed to guard against the invasion by nomadic tribes from the north. When enemy troops approached, guards on watch would send smoke signals from the beacon-fire towers as an alarm. 修建长城是为了抵御来自北方游牧民族的入侵。敌军逼近时，放哨的警卫就会在烽火台上发送烟雾信号作为警报。 Jack: How did they manage to do so? Can you be more specific? 他们怎么发送烟雾信号作为警报呢？你能说的具体点么？ 李颖：Those towers on the wall are spaced at equal distances from each other. When guards in a tower saw the signals from its neighbor, they immediately did the same thing .In this way; the signals would be relayed to the capital. 长城上的烽火台是均匀分布的。如果烽火台上的警卫看到相邻烽火台上发出的信号，他们就会立刻跟着发出信号。这样一个接一个信号就传到了都城。 Jack: what the smart idea the ancient people had! I was told that in china. People usually call the Great Wall “Ten Thousand Li Long Wall”. Does it really mean that long? 古代人民的想法真是巧妙啊！我听说在中国人们通常把长城称作“万里长城”。真的有那么长么？ 李颖：Yes, exactly. It runs all the way across the eastern half of china with a length of about 6 000 kilometers. 是的，正是这样。长城绵延约6 000公里，穿越了中国的东半部。 Jack: 6 000 kilometers! It is unbelievable. 6 000公里！难以置信。 李颖：The Great Wall is said to be the only building on the earth that can be seen from the outer space. 据说万里长城是从外太空可以看到的地球上唯一的建筑。
P23页 1.我在上午说过，今天我们各国面临一个机会，可以分别和共同作出具体承诺和采取明确措施，确保核材料的安全，防止核材料落入那些无疑会利用它们的恐怖主义分子手中。 2.今晚，我可以这么说，我们成功地把握了这一机遇，作为具体的国家和国际社会，我们已经采取了措施，美国人民将因此更安全，世界将更稳定。 3.我谨在此感谢出席这一具有历史意义的峰会的全体代表，来自世界各地区的49位领导人。今天之所以能取得进展，是因为这些领导人不仅与会发言，而且采取行动；不是含糊地承诺在未来采取行动，而是承诺他们准备立即实施的有意义的步骤。 4.我还要感谢各位同仁在讨论中所表现的坦率与合作精神。今天并无冗长的讲话，亦无要求别国如何是从的训诫。我们互相倾听、互相尊重。我们认识到，虽然不同国家面临不同的挑战，但我们有着共同的利益，即确保这些危险核材料的安全。 P52页 1.在二十一世纪，你们必须承担不分国界的国际金融系统的重任。当香港和雅加达的股票市场下跌时，其影响再也不是局部性，而是全球性的。因此，贵国充满生机的经济成长同整个亚太地区恢复稳定和经济发展紧密相连。 2.在最近一次的金融危机中，中国坚定不移地承担了对本地区和全世界的责任，帮助避免了又一个危险的货币贬值周期。我们必须继续携手合作，对付全球金融系统面临的威胁以及对整个亚太地区本应有的发展和繁荣的威胁。 3.在我以上列举的每一个关键领域，显然，只要我们相互合作而不是互不往来，我们就能取得更大的成就。因此，我们应该努力，确保双方之间目前的建设性关系在下个世纪结出圆满的协作果实。 4.要做到这一点，我们就必须更好地相互了解，了解各自的共同利益、共有的期望和真诚的分歧。我相信这种公开直接的交流有助于澄清和缩小我们的分歧。更为重要的是，允许人们理解、辩论和探讨这些问题，能使他们对我们建设美好的未来更加充满信心。 P69页 1. Presenting gifts is one of the important contents of modern business activities, in order to establish friendly relations, progress friendship, and also can be applied to advertising and promoting. It’s important to select a gift, because it transmits the information of culture, economy, status, knowledge and other aspects. It’s probably both may improve the image of the company and may damage it. 2. Presenting gifts in business activities can generally divide into several conditions as following: (1) Presenting gifts for employees and rewarding their hard work. (2) Presenting gifts for enhancing the business connection with customers. (3) Presenting gifts for each other to build relationships with business counterparts. 3. Therefore, more and more companies realize that presenting gifts in business activities is not only advertising, but also a important tool

P23页 1. I said this morning that today would be an opportunity for our nations, both individually and collectively, to make concrete commitments and take tangible steps to secure nuclear materials so they never fall into the hands of terrorists who would surely use them. 2. This evening, I can report that we have seized this opportunity, and because of the steps we’ve taken--as individual nations and as an international community--the American people will be safer and the world will be more secure. 3. I want to thank all who participated in this historic summit -- 49 leaders from every region of the world. Today’s progress was possible because these leaders came not simply to talk, but to take action; not simply to make vague pledges of future action, but to commit to meaningful steps that they are prepared to implement right now. 4. I also want to thank my colleagues for the candor and cooperative spirit that they brought to the discussions. This was not a day of long speeches or lectures on what other nations must do. We listened to each other, with mutual respect. We recognized that while different countries face different challenges, we have a mutual interest in securing these dangerous materials. P52页 1. In the 21st century your generation must also lead the challenge of an international financial system that has no respect for national borders. When stock markets fall in Hong Kong or Jakarta, the effects are no longer local; they are global. The vibrant growth of your own economy is tied closely, therefore, to the restoration of stability and growth in the Asia Pacific region. 2. China has steadfastly shouldered its responsibilities to the region and the world in this latest financial crisis -- helping to prevent another cycle of dangerous devaluations. We must continue to work together to counter this threat to the global financial system and to the growth and prosperity which should be embracing all of this region. 3. In each of these vital areas that I have mentioned, we can clearly accomplish so much more by walking together rather than standing apart. That is why we should work to see that the productive relationship we now enjoy blossoms into a fuller partnership in the new century. 4. If that is to happen, it is very important that we understand each other better, that we understand both our common interest and our shared aspirations and our honest differences. I believe the kind of open, direct exchange can both clarify and narrow our differences, and, more important, by allowing people to understand and debate and discuss these things can give a greater sense of confidence to our people that we can make a better future.

2.4 保持农历新年的核心价值观 To people of Chinese all over the world, the lunar new year is undoubtedly the most important festival all the year .Dating back 3000 years, it cerebrates the passing of a peaceful year and to welcome a new one The reunion dinner on New Y ear's Eve is the most meaningful one in entire year. So members of a big family will gather up, even if some are far away. The reunion dinner shows the importance of family in the culture of Chinese people, which can strengthen the sense of togetherness of family. The way people celebrate the New Y ear embodies two important core values. The first value is the sense of family togetherness; members of multi-generation families are all there to have a big reunion dinner. Everyone will follow this custom. The female members are always responsible for preparing the dinner, and some rich families may take on extra hands .The second value lies in the happy visits mutually made between friends and relatives, a good way to strengthen kinship and friendship. 4.3 Fortune 500 companies (前两段) 45年来《财富》杂志一直给美国的大公司排名，这就是一年一度的“财富500强”，有时也将前100名称为“财富100强”。上榜的公司基本上都是头年收入名列前茅的美国本土公司。《财富》杂志根据上市公司的公开数据来计算收入，未上市公司没有列入，因为它们的股票没有公开发行。国外公司在美的分公司也不参与排名。 “财富500强”公司是美国规模最大、利润最多、实力最强的公司。讲到收入，即使500强排最后一名的公司也财大气粗，如去年排名最末的公司收入也超过30亿美元。 除了介绍美国公司的“财富500强”，《财富》杂志还推出了“全球500强”，给各国的上市公司排名。当然，由于美国经济在全球经济中的地位，许多“财富500强”的美国公司也高居“全球500强”榜首。 《财富》杂志也推出其他排名，如“100家受雇条件最佳公司”，“100家增长最快的公司”等。比较各种排名看看哪些公司重复上榜，是很有意思的事。比如，在“100家受雇条件最佳公司”榜上排名第一的公司可能根本不在“财富500强”之列。而排在“财富美国500强”和“世界500强”前列的公司，却上不了“最受人尊敬的公司”排行榜。也许甲壳虫乐队说的对——爱是不能用金钱买来的。 4.4 艾滋病的预防 Well, in China, HIV/AIDS has become a very serious problem related to social development. There’ve been cases of people being accidentally infected with HIV/ AIDS, through accepting polluted blood from hospitals, babies acquiring the disease from their mothers, having improper sexual relationships. From the time we discovered the first AIDS infections. Experts estimate that more than 900,000 people had been infected with HIV by the end of last year. If we don’t take some efficient measures, this number will double by 2010. First, because of poverty, people lack education and information about the prevention of HIV/ AIDS. Second, ignorance. People do not pay much attention to this problem. Third, they lack proper resources, things like training, money and information. According to reports, we still do not have an efficient medicine to cure HIV/ AIDS. 6.4 外交为民

一、篇章翻译抽取一部分内容有变化有录音，2min, 30% 尊敬的各位中美企业家，尊敬的各位来宾，女士们、先生们： 非常高兴出席今天在克里夫兰举办的中美贸易投资合作研讨会。 中美建交27年来，在中美双方的共同努力下，两国经贸合作迅猛增长。按中方统计，2005年双边贸易达到2,116亿美元，是建交时的86倍。目前美国是中国第二大贸易伙伴，中国是美国第三大贸易伙伴。//中国加入世贸组织以来的5年，是美对华出口增长最快的5年。2001至2005年，两国贸易额年均增长27.4%，美对华出口年均增长21.5％，2005年美对华出口额比2001年增长118％，是美对全球出口增幅的4.9倍，远高于美对其他所有主要出口市场的增长率，// 中国由2001年美第九大出口市场跃升为2005年的第四大出口市场，成为带动美出口增长的主要因素。/ 今年前10个月，美对华出口额接近500亿美元，超过去年全年的出口额，增幅达24%。 如能保持这一增长势头，2007年中国有可能跃升为美国第三大出口市场。// 在双边贸易快速增长的同时，双向投资得到快速发展。美国是中国最大的外资来源地之一。截至2006年10月底，美在华累计投资设立企业51,352家，实际对华投入资金超过529亿美元。// 目前，中国已成为美国企业海外利润的主要来源地之一，2005年美在华投资企业实现利润总额约97亿美元。与此同时，美企业通过投资不断扩大在中国市场的占有份额，2005年在中国国内市场的销售额达770亿美元。// 近年来，中国政府采取积极措施，推进有实力的中国企业到海外投资，截至2005年底，中国企业海外累计投资额约670亿美元，2005当年达70亿美元。// 与此同时，中国对美投资快速增长，截至2006年10月底，中国企业在美直接投资近30亿美元。目前，美国已成为中国企业“走出去”拓展海外业务的重要目的地之一。// 海尔、华为、中远、中石油、联想等不少中国知名企业在美取得良好业绩的同时，为解决当地就业、促进美国经济与社会发展作出了积极贡献。// 当然，也要看到，作为一个发展中国家，中国企业进行海外投资还缺乏经验。希望中国的企业家们充分学习和借鉴包括美国在内的众多跨国公司海外投资的成功经验，加强对外合作，在开拓国际业务方面取得新的进展。// 最后，再次感谢俄州及克里夫兰市对代表团给予的热情欢迎和周到的安排。感谢中美企业家的积极参与。祝中美贸易投资合作研讨会圆满成功！谢谢大家！//（中华人民共和国商务部副部长马秀红在中美贸易投资合作研讨会上的讲话节选，2006年12月） 二、对话英汉互译，40％，2.5min A: 欢迎光临浙江进出口商品交易会。我是上海技术进出口公司的销售部经理。 请问您对什么产品感兴趣？ B: We are very interested in the auto parts.
