Lesson 11.3 美国副总统复旦演讲韩市长，非常感谢您！谢谢您做介绍时的友好言辞。
今天我们很高兴来到这里。
我和我夫人为有这次机会再次来到中国访问感到荣幸。
感谢贵国对我们的欢迎，特别感谢复旦大学的热情接待。
我们为此感到不胜荣幸，谢谢你们！我们此行带来了布什总统和美国人民的良好祝愿。
我知道在座的许多人很快就要从这所优秀的大学毕业。
我听说贵校有极为严格的标准，得到复旦大学的学位代表着多年的刻苦攻读和自我约束。
我祝贺在座各位学业有成。
对各位老师坚持复旦大学99年追求卓越的传统我深表钦佩。
1.4 Speech by Wang Guangya at Princeton UniversityLadies and Gentlemen,Good evening.I am honored to be invited to your seminar tonight. For me, for my colleagues and for many other Chinese, Princeton has long been a familiar name. With a history longer than the country, it has produced many outstanding people, Woodrow Wilson, the 28th US president, Albert Einstein, the great scientist, and T. S. Eliot, the famous poet, to name but a few. As former president Bill Clinton said in 1996 at the celebrations for the 250th anniversary of Princeton, “At every pivotal moment in American history, Princeton, its leadership, faculty and its students have played a crucial role.”I am more pleased to learn that all of you have a keen interest in China. Though our two countries are geographically far apart, we have a great deal in common in the everyday life. While many Chinese enjoy Hollywood movies and McDonald’s fast food, many Americans find that their clothesand daily necessities are made in China. I hope that today’s seminar will help you gain a better understanding of China and its foreign policy, thus deepening further our friendship and cooperation.1.5 新工厂落成典礼上的讲话各位尊敬的来宾，女士们，先生们：下午好！欢迎大家前来参加我们公司在中国的首家新厂房的落成典礼！感谢各位拨冗光临，与我们共同庆祝这一盛大的活动！我谨代表公司对今天来参加典礼的各位供应商、客户嘉宾、各位员工和业务伙伴说声“谢谢！”公司管理层深深为我们的新工厂感到骄傲，我们能干的员工感到骄傲，他们发展了工厂的业务，使之达到国际水平。

作为大提琴演奏家，马友友的职业生涯已经跨越20多年，期间他发行了50多张专辑。
他的音乐获得过许多奖项，其中包括令人叹服的14项格莱美大奖。
他也曾在许多重要的场合演奏，如格莱美的颁奖仪式和奥运会的开闭幕式。
马友友是出生在法国的华裔，父母都是音乐家，母亲是歌唱家，父亲是作曲家。
第一次正式登台演出的时候，马友友年仅5岁。
4年后年仅9岁的马友友就在纽约极具声望的卡耐基音乐大厅登台演出，此时他已随家人移居到美国。
此后马友友进入茱莉亚音乐学院学习提琴演奏，从那儿他又转入哈佛大学，并获得人类学学位。
他在哈佛的求学经历以及多元的文化背景都造就了今天的马友友。
而今，马友友仍在继续他的音乐之旅，积极地与来自世界各地的各种流派的音乐家合作。
他的音乐灵感受到人和大自然的激发。
在马友友看来，大提琴是他的声带的延伸。
他演奏时最重要的一点是自始至终全情投入，努力将音乐的内容传递给现场的观众。
2.4 CNN interview with Jet Li⏹祝贺《英雄》取得了成功。
请问您在《英雄》中扮演的角色是否与你通常演的角色很相似呢？⏹It’s a very special part and a very special movie. I think it’s one of themost important action films in my life.⏹为什么你会这样说呢？你演过近30部电影，而《英雄》与其他影片有何不同呢？⏹Usually action films have a formula: A child whose parents have beenmurdered by bad guys tries hard to learn martial arts and he grows up into an outstanding Kongfu master. He takes revenge and kills the bad buys. But “Hero” has a much broader them.⏹就比如象《卧虎藏龙》？⏹No, it’s totally different. I think Ang Lee is a very very talented director.He uses martial arts to talk about love, you know. But Zhang Yimou tries to tell about Chinese culture, Chinese thinking and their inspirations about the world.⏹含义的确很深。
我们知道你的处女作是1979年拍摄的《少林寺》，那时你还是个十几岁的少年。
影片在亚洲引起了轰动，并且还加拍了两部续集。
我想问的是，你使如何从一位武术冠军成为一名好莱坞的动作明星的？⏹I think the most important thing is that when I was young, I learntmartial arts. That is my special key. I can use my unique martial arts skills in the film. I have been thinking about doing something different, like using martial arts to talk about peace and to achieve peace.⏹这听起来似乎是矛盾的，对吗？你是一位打斗者，却要谈“和平”？⏹That’s right, because Chinese culture is not just martial arts. That’sonly the physical part. It’s not true that the Chinese people are all Kongfu masters and can just beat up people; and that they have no brains, no thoughts. As a matter of fact, we have a deep, strong and sophisticated philosophy. I feel I have the responsibility to share this information with the worldwide audience.Lesson 33.3 Steve Forbes on Forbes我祖父二十世纪初来到美国，他离开苏格兰时身上没有什么钱。
连他在内有兄弟姐妹10人，不过他自小受到很好的教育。
像许多人一样，他也是满怀憧憬和理想来到美国的。
** 他创办了《福布斯》杂志，报道那些实干家，那些给商业社会带来变革的人。
我祖父常说，做生意不是为了堆积百万财富，而是为了带来幸福快乐。
如今我们讲到公司和经营，文章中会用到许多数字，但是焦点一直放在人上面。
**对公司而言，最重要的是人，而不是资产负债表。
以前我祖父是这样看的，我们现在也这样看。
** 当前世界信息泛滥，足以将人淹么其中，人们迫切需要一本刊物来解读这些信息，告诉读者哪些重要哪些可以不必理会。
这就是《福布斯》的价值所在。
我们提供额外的视角和判断。
我们从不停留于表面，总想看看公司到底如何经营的，正是当今芜杂繁多的信息使得《福布斯》日益重要。
