18、uished guests, friends:I feel honored to have this opportunity to introduce our company to you through the platform by this conference.Founded 15 years ago, we are a company specializing in the design, manufacturing and sales of handicrafts. Fifteen years ago our staff numbered 50; now the figure is

19、 1,700. Fifteen years ago we rent a facility covering a floor space of 4,500 square meters; now our own facility covers a floor space of 24,000 square meters. These figures speak clearly and loudly of our success.Our leading products are various architectural models, including exotic European cathed

20、rals, the Empire State Building, the White House, and the Pentagon in the U.S., along with carton animal toys and Christmas gifts with a variety of designs. Our designs have become trend setters in the industry.Nowadays, our products are sold worldwide in more than twenty countries including Japan,

21、Singapore, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, America, the U.K, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Sweden, and Germany. They are well received by both local importers and consumers. For 15 years our output value has maintained an annual growth rate of 30%.十五年來，我們的產(chǎn)值年均增長30%。這句話可以有不同的譯法：For 15 years, our ou

22、tput value has grown by 30% annually.For 15 years, the annual growth rate of our output value has averaged 30%. For 15 years, the annual growth rate of our output value has been kept at 30%.3.5財富500強(qiáng)n Private company 這里不指私營公司，而是未上市的公司；上市公司可以說成: public company, publicly-held company, orlisted company

23、公司上市：to go public to be listed45年來，財富雜志一直給美國的大公司排名，這就是一年一度的“財富500強(qiáng)”，有時也將前100名稱為“財富100強(qiáng)”。上榜的公司基本上都是頭年收入名列前茅的美國本土公司。財富雜志根據(jù)上市公司的公開數(shù)據(jù)來計(jì)算收入，未上市的公司沒有列入，因?yàn)樗鼈兊墓善睕]有公開發(fā)行。國外公司在美的分公司也不參與排名?！柏敻?00強(qiáng)”公司是美國規(guī)模最大、利潤最多、實(shí)力最強(qiáng)的公司。講到收入，即使500強(qiáng)排最后一名的公司也財大氣粗，如去年排名最末的公司收入也超過30億美元。除了介紹美國公司的“財富500強(qiáng)”，財富雜志還推出了“全球500強(qiáng)”，給各國的上市公司排名。

24、當(dāng)然，由于美國經(jīng)濟(jì)在全球經(jīng)濟(jì)中的支配地位，許多“財富500強(qiáng)”的美國公司也高居“全球500強(qiáng)”榜首。財富雜志也推出其他排名，如“100家受雇條件最佳公司”，“100家增長最快的公司”等。比較各種排名看看哪些公司重復(fù)上榜，是很有意思的事。比如，在“100家受雇條件最佳公司”榜上排名第一的公司可能根本不在“財富500強(qiáng)”之列。而排在“財富500強(qiáng)”和“世界500強(qiáng)”前列的公司，卻上不了“最受人尊敬的公司”排行榜。也許甲殼蟲樂隊(duì)說得對愛是不能用金錢買來的。4.3非常感謝你們的盛情款待，我們很高興來到這里。今天不巧，校長沒辦法來，我謹(jǐn)代表他介紹一下我們的學(xué)校。西敏斯特大學(xué)成立于1838年，是英國第一所

25、工科大學(xué)，所以我們學(xué)校有著悠久歷史。我們的主校區(qū)位于英國首都倫敦市的中心地帶。目前我們的學(xué)生來自132個不同的國家，人數(shù)超過22,700人。所以西敏斯特大學(xué)是全英最受國際學(xué)生歡迎的15所大學(xué)之一。我們有教師700多人，還有來自各國的講師1,000余人。學(xué)校的國際環(huán)境為學(xué)生日后將要面臨的職業(yè)生涯打下良好的基礎(chǔ)，我們的目標(biāo)是提供國內(nèi)和國際環(huán)境下高品質(zhì)的教育和科研。我們是一所現(xiàn)代大學(xué)，在傳播、文化和媒體研究、法律、亞洲研究、語言學(xué)、藝術(shù)設(shè)計(jì)（包括音樂）、電子工程、政治與國際關(guān)系等領(lǐng)域占領(lǐng)先地位，我們的主要學(xué)科均獲得高度認(rèn)可。我們真誠希望與貴校建立交流合作項(xiàng)目。4.4Language points:1

26、. 團(tuán)圓飯是整個年頭里最具意義的一餐：The reunion dinner is de rigueur.2. 團(tuán)圓飯顯示了家庭在華人文化里的重要地位，它可以增強(qiáng)家庭凝聚力。The reunion dinner underscores the supreme importance of the family in Chinese culture. It helps strengthen the sense of togetherness and cohesion.3. 避免親戚朋友造訪，圖個清靜。To avoid being visited so as to have some peace.“圖

27、個清靜” is to have the peace of mind, to escape from the crowd.4. 傳統(tǒng)人士：conservative or tradition-minded people5. 慶祝的形式：modes /ways of celebrationTo people of Chinese descent around the world, the Lunar New Year (also called Spring Festival) is undoubtedly the most important festival of the year. Dating

28、 back 3,000 years, it celebrates the passing of a peaceful year and welcomes the new one.The reunion dinner, eaten on New Years Eve, is de rigueur, with members of the extended family gathering for the most significant meal of the year. Even the absent members will endeavor to return home in time fo

29、r it. It underscores the supreme importance of the family in Chinese culture, and aims at strengthening the sense of togetherness and cohesion.The way people celebrate the New Year embodies two important core values. The first value is the sense of family togetherness; members of multi-generation fa

30、milies are all there to have a big reunion dinner. Everyone will follow this custom. The female members are always held 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

31、way to strengthen kinship and friendship.However, economic development has resulted in some changes in lifestyle. After a busy year, people are tired of preparing for the reunion dinner, and would rather hold their reunion dinner in posh restaurants, despite the exorbitant costs. The festival door-t

32、o-door visits have given way to New Year greetings via telephone or text messages. Some families even go to such extremes as to travel and seek temporary refuge in a hotel so as to avoid being visited.Some tradition-minded people regard the reunion dinner and visits to relatives and close friends du

33、ring the New Year as score values, without which the holiday would lose much of its significance. Some pessimists contend that, as the popularity of western culture grows, Chinese traditional festivals gradually lose their original meaning and degenerate into commercial festivals like Christmas.The

34、Spring Festival is an important part of the Chinese cultural heritage, and it will continue to be celebrated. The modes of celebration may change, but the core value should be sustained: that of respect for kinship and friendship.4.5Q: My question is about educational exchanges. You mentioned in you

35、r speech that there are large numbers of Chinese students studying in Britain. As we know, it is extremely difficult to get a scholarship at a British university. But the tuition fees for international students far exceed these for home students. So we cannot help wondering about the motivation of B

36、ritish universities in enrolling Chinese students. Is it to promote educational exchanges with China and to liven up campus life in Britain, or just for a commercial purpose? Thank you.A: 這實(shí)際上是出于多種考慮。我不否認(rèn)有商業(yè)考慮，辦大學(xué)也要花錢，不過教育交流是主要目的。獎學(xué)金難申請是因?yàn)殄X要由政府出，有時候納稅人有意見，說政府應(yīng)該把獎學(xué)金發(fā)給本國學(xué)生而不是外國學(xué)生。所以很困難。但我們現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)在擴(kuò)大獎學(xué)金范圍

37、。事實(shí)上，過去幾年，中國學(xué)生來英國留學(xué)人數(shù)大大增加了，這說明獎學(xué)金難歸難，你們還是有辦法來留學(xué)的。我想教育交流在未來會非常重要，我也希望，每一次外國學(xué)生來英國學(xué)習(xí)，回去時就像是一個英國的大使，到他的國家為我們宣傳，不管是在中國，俄羅斯還是哪個國家。所以我們在擴(kuò)大教育規(guī)模，吸收更多海外留學(xué)生。所以你們繼續(xù)申請獎學(xué)金，我們會盡力幫助的。Q: Mr. Blair, welcome to Tsinghua University. I was deeply impressed by your support for Sino-British educational exchanges, but I wa

38、s also sorry to hear that some universities in northeastern Britain have decided to cancel the major of Chinese Culture and Language, among them even the University of Durham. Will this affect cultural and educational cooperation between our two countries? If so, what is your solution?A: 講到學(xué)校的課程，既然我

39、聽說了這件事，我打算回去看看究竟，不過大學(xué)做出這樣的原因很多，也許是經(jīng)濟(jì)原因，或者是他們面臨某種困難，這也是時有的事。要想把想做的事都辦成，錢總是不夠的。不過我可以向你保證，我們會一如既往地歡迎中國學(xué)生來英國學(xué)習(xí)，就算杜倫大學(xué)沒有合適的專業(yè)，其他大學(xué)也一定有。5.3 Premier Wens Speech at the Opening Ceremony of the 15th General Assembly Session of the World Tourism OrganizationMr. Francesco Frangialli, Secretary-General of the W

The number of tourists has ever been on the rise, the scale of the tourism industry has been in constant expansion,

Tourism serves gradually as an important bridge of cultural exchange, friendship and further exchanges, and exerts more and more extensive influence on the human life and social progress among various countries.As a country with a long hi

51、尊重。在實(shí)現(xiàn)這一目標(biāo)的過程中，它特別關(guān)注發(fā)展中國家在旅游業(yè)方面的利益。世界旅游組織的成員分為正式成員、聯(lián)系成員和附屬成員三類。正式成員是指所有的主權(quán)國家。聯(lián)系成員指的是哪些不必負(fù)責(zé)外交事務(wù)的地區(qū)。這些成員需要經(jīng)過該地區(qū)負(fù)責(zé)外交事務(wù)的政府的批準(zhǔn)。附屬成員的范圍十分廣泛，包括直接或間接從事旅游業(yè)的組織和企業(yè)，如：航空公司以及其他運(yùn)輸公司、飯店、餐館、旅游批發(fā)商和零售商、金融界、保險公司、出版界等機(jī)構(gòu)。到2003年，世界旅游組織的正式成員達(dá)到141個國家，并有7個聯(lián)系成員和350個附屬成員，它們代表著私營業(yè)者、教育機(jī)構(gòu)、旅游協(xié)會以及地方旅游管理機(jī)構(gòu)。5.5 現(xiàn)代化與文化遺產(chǎn)的保護(hù)：主：Welcome

52、 to our studio. My first question is: how many years have you been in China?客：3年多了。我是2002年5月底來的。主：3 years. I bet you have witnessed a lot of changes in China. Could you tell us your deepest impression of urban development in China?客：我恐怕只能就我所在的城市談?wù)劷?jīng)驗(yàn)，不過從周邊城市的所見所聞，我也會有同樣的看法。所有的外國人都非常清楚地看到，中國和中國的許多城市都正

53、在快速發(fā)展。我想在東部沿海城市更是如此。到處聳立著嶄新的高樓大廈，馬路變得更加寬闊。主：What do you think of all these tall buildings and the widened roads? Do you think that these are signs of modernization? Are all these changes good?客：這個問題提得很好。但是我覺得這是個相當(dāng)復(fù)雜的問題。主：Why is it complicated?客：這個問題得從兩個不同的角度來看。一方面是我作為一個外國人所期望的我想看的，我感興趣的和中國人想看的或者想讓我看

54、的肯定是不一樣的。另一方面就是現(xiàn)代化與舊城文化保護(hù)相互沖突的問題。主：Then lets see what are the differences between a foreigners expectations and what the Chinese would like to see.客：這個問題看來最好這么來談一般情況下，中國朋友帶我們參觀城市時，都是帶我們?nèi)タ船F(xiàn)代建筑，比如機(jī)場、大橋、會展中心等等城市里最新的東西。但是外國人對老城區(qū)、小街小巷、古舊建筑更感興趣，也就是那些使這個城市有別于我們所看過的其他城市的東西。一個外國人到過世界上的其他地方可能比一般中國人多，所見過的機(jī)場和橋梁

55、對他們來說沒什么太大的不同，但是西安的廟宇他們就覺得有別于法國的教堂，更重要的是，中國城市的老房子更有別于英國城市的老房子。主：That is to say, foreigners are interested in the things unique in China, but there is a contradiction between modernization and preservation, as you mentioned just now from another perspective. The space of a city is limited; the old part
