英国女王2009 圣诞致词

过去每年似乎都各具特点。一些年份让我们心满意足，一些年份则最好忘却。2009年对很多人来说都是艰难的一年，尤其是那些深受经济衰退之苦的人们。

我相信，我们所有人都受到阿富汗战事影响，为英军士兵伤亡感到悲伤。我们向这些士兵的家人和朋友表示慰问，他们面对巨大个人损失表现得无比高尚。

但我们应该为我们的士兵与盟友一道作出的积极贡献而感到骄傲。英国和包括加拿大、澳大利亚、新西兰和新加坡在内的英联邦国家眼下共有超过1.3 万名士兵在阿富汗服役。我们对这些年轻士兵以及先前在阿富汗服役过的士兵表示深深感激。

今年是英联邦成立60 周年，今天其成员国25 岁以下人口超过10 亿，为它保持长久的强大和实力提供了力量源泉。

最近我刚刚参加了在特立尼达和多巴哥举行的英联邦政府首脑会议，听到联邦对年轻人是多么重要。新的通讯技术使他们能够接触到更广阔的世界，分享他们的经验和观点。对于许多人来说，英联邦的实际援助与网络可以提供技能，给予意见和鼓励进取。

令人鼓舞的是，我了解到一些年轻人正在做着一些事情，他们面对挑战，富于创造力和创新精神。

对关系到我们所有人的问题保持讨论很重要，它让我们的大家庭产生更大的价值。在英联邦成立以来的大部分时间里，我都同它联系紧密。

我珍视同各国领袖、人民之间在个人和生活上的紧密联系，这不单是象征意义上的，也能促进我们的团结。

英联邦并非只是一个具有某种使命的组织，更是一个让各国人民合作、解决实际困难的平台。在涉及我们生活的许多方面，不论是体育、环境、商业或文化，英联邦国家之间的联系生动活泼而且丰富多彩。在很多方面这展现未来的前景。随着不断的支持和贡献，我相信多元化的英联邦国家之间能加强超越政治、宗教、种族和经济环境的凝聚力。

众所周知，圣诞节是欢庆与家人团聚的时候，但我们也可以借这个时机反思那些国内外不幸者面临的困境。

基督徒接受的教义是要爱他们的邻居，有同情心，乐于慈善和志愿工作，以减轻贫困和弱势者的负担。

我们自己会面临一连串的困难和挑战，这些困难和挑战会令我们感到困惑，但我们绝不能停下脚步，而应该继续努力，为自己和他人创造更美好的未来。

不论你们现时身在何处，我都祝愿你们圣诞快乐！

美国第一夫人米歇尔· 奥巴马在英国伦敦伊斯灵顿伊丽莎白· 安德森女校的演（节选）

这是我的第一次出访，作为第一夫人的第一次外事出访。你们能相信吗？虽然这不是我第一次来英国，但我得说很高兴我的首次官方访问是来英国。美国和英国之间的特殊关系，不只是基于政府间的关系，还基于我们有共同的语言和价值观。看见你们大家就使我想到这一点。在访问期间我特别荣幸地会见了英国一些最出色的女性，她们在为你们所有女孩子铺路。

我也很荣幸见到你们这些英国和世界未来的领导者，尽管我们的生活背景好像相差很远，我是作为美国第一夫人站在这里，而你们还正在上学。

但我想让你们了解我们其实有很多共同之处。因为在我生命历程中没有任何东西曾经预示我会作为美利坚合众国的第一位非洲裔第一夫人站在这里。我的资历里没有什么东西能使我站在这个位置上。我不是被财富和资源养大的，也谈不上有什么社会地位。我生长在芝加哥市的南部，那个地方是真正的芝加哥。我出身于工人阶级。父亲一辈子是个市政工人，母亲是个家庭妇女。她待在家里照顾我和我哥哥。我父母都没上过大学。我爸爸正值壮年的时候被诊断患有多种硬化症。但就在他难以行走，而且早上难以穿衣的时候——我看着他挣扎得越来越厉害——我父亲却从来没有抱怨过他的困难。他对于自己拥有的一切心存感激。他只是起得更早一点，工作得更努力一点。哥哥和我在成长过程中得到了人生真正需要的一切：爱，强有力的价值观：以及一个信念：就是靠着良好的教育，还有大量的辛勤工作，没有什么是我们做不到的。

我个人的例子表明女孩子能创造奇迹，只要她们从生命最开始的时候，就受到周围人的爱护和教养。非凡的女性围绕着我的生活：祖母，老师，姨妈，表姐妹，邻居，她们教会我沉默的力量和尊严。还有我母亲，她是我生命中最重要的榜样，她和我们住在白宫帮着照顾我们的两个小女儿，玛丽娅和萨莎。她在孩子们和我的生活中都很活跃，并正在给她们灌输那些她曾教给我和我哥哥的价值观：同情心、正直、自信和坚定。所有这些都包含在无条件的爱之中，那是只有一个祖母才能给予的爱。

我也很幸运地从一些男性榜样那里得到珍爱和鼓励，包括我父亲、哥哥、叔伯和祖父。我生命中的男人们也教会我一些重要的东西。他们教会我互相尊重的男女关系应该是什么样子的。拥有一个牢固的婚姻是什么感觉：那是建立在信念和承诺之上，以及对彼此独特天赋的赞赏。他们教我怎样为人父母、养育家人；不仅要关注自己的家庭也要伸手去帮助养育更广泛的社区里的孩子。

我也在自己的丈夫身上寻找到同样的品质，他就是巴拉克· 奥巴马。在我们最初相识的时候，我记得，他带我出去约会，而约会内容是和他一起去开一个社区会议。是啊，够浪漫的吧。我们相识的时候，巴拉克是一个社区组织者。他的工作是帮助人家找工作，以及努力把资源带给有困难的邻里。当他同那个社区中心里的居民交谈的时候他谈到两个概念：“现实世界”和“理想世界”。我在竞选的整个过程中也谈到这些。他说，我们常常接受了这两种观念之间的差距；有的时侯我们满足于现实世界，即使它没有反映我们的价值观和愿望。但是那天巴拉克提醒了我们，包括在那间屋子里的所有人，我们都知道世界应该是什么样子的。我们都知道公平、正义和机会是什么样子的，我们全都知道。他敦促到会的人们，那个社区里的人们，使他们献身于缩小那两种观念之间的差距，一起努力把现实世界变成和理想世界一样。

我今天想起这些是因为我确信，在这所学校里，你们所有人都是缩小这差距非常重要的因素。你们是要建立理想世界的女性。你们将写出历史的下一个篇章，不只是为你们自己，而且是为你们这一代人以及未来的几代人。这就是为什么得到良好的教育是这么的重要。这就是为什么你们正在这经历的所有这一切—— 一切的成功与失败，所有的老师，无论你喜欢与否——都很重要，因为社区和国家，还有归根结底这个世界，它们的强大取决于其中女性的健康。记住这一点很重要。

我们知道你们能做到。我们爱你们。谢谢大家。

在“2009 金融与重庆可持续发展研讨会”上的开幕致词

伦敦金融城市长陆毅安先生

尊敬的副市长先生，总领事先生，女生们、先生们：

今天很高兴跟各位一道启动“2009 金融与重庆可持续发展研讨会”。非常感谢重庆市金融办和诺实公司的曹平先生对本次研讨会的赞助！几周前，我与全国人大外事委员会的几位委员进行了会晤，并聆听了全国人大环资委的资深委员杨庚宇先生讲述中国正在采取的节能减排措施。在实现可持续的低碳复苏方面，我们一致认为经济滑坡给了我们大家投资绿色技术并出台相应政策的机会，同时，我还要指出，这次机遇也肯定会给中国和英国创造大量的就业。

将这一切变为现实的诸多政策已经到位。这些政策包括：

●“英中可持续城市行动计划”，该计划是去年温家宝总理访问英国的时候签订的； ● 2009 年英中峰会达成的在气候变化、低碳示范区和气候变化技术转让方面的协议； ● 中国“十二五”规划中的环境目标；

● 最近英国政府和重庆市政府签署的备忘录；

● 同时，英国政府还致力于跟中国政府紧密合作，解决任何突出的知识产权问题。

因此，我们非常希望利用这个契机让重庆成为21 世纪世界版图上致力于环保的中心城市。我们知道，一个重视提高能效和推广可再生技术的绿色财政刺激方案，在全球愈发认识到我们必须走向绿色的时候，肯定能有效地推动就业、刺激经济，并带来竞争优势。正如英国外务大臣几周前指出的一样：“绿色不再是议事日程上的一项议题，它就是整个议程。” 虽然接下来要采取的措施需要这次研讨会讨论决定，但这里我想说，英国非常愿意尽可能地为重庆提供必要的融资和技术上的支持，并且已经在这么做了。渣打银行与亚洲开发银行的能效提升计划就是诸多例子之一。

另一个案例则是诺实公司力推的极富想象力的“两河技术产业园”项目。根据其企划案，该项目在吸引高科技企业入园的同时，将帮助重庆实现在最近双方签署的“重庆－英国可持续城市备忘录”中提出的城乡协调发展的目标。

当然，“两河技术产业园”项目还需要重庆市政府的最终批准，而且，我们很高兴看到该项目迅速得到了重视。这是好消息！

女士们，先生们，我们任重而道远！双方的良好意愿已经以备忘录和政策的形式得以体现，现在需要的就是具体落实！谢谢大家！

斐济总理沃雷恩盖· 姆拜尼马拉马上海世博会电视致词 致2010 年中国上海世博会：

很高兴斐济可以和其他太平洋国家一同参加2010 年上海世博会。2010 年上海世界贸易博览会是一个极好的机会，它将227 个参加这次世界文化盛会的国家聚集在一起，探索并分享各国的宝贵创新与经验。毫无疑问，今天世界正见证着一个巨大的成功，一个至少会吸引全球七千多万访客的盛大博览活动，一个以视觉、嗅觉、味觉、听觉、感觉来呈现各国文化魅力的展示平台。

此次博览会首次由一个发展中国家举办，而且规模如此宏大，体现了中国政府在筹备组织的带领指导下，奉献、担当与勤勉的精神。在此，我谨代表斐济，向为此次盛会成功筹备和举办而付出了不懈努力的中华人民共和国表示感谢与祝贺，代表我们代表团，向中国政府世博会的主办机构及辛勤努力的工作人员，表示最诚挚的感谢，感谢你们的帮助和奉献。我要祝贺你们团队，并保证太平洋国家馆将会尽展我们的祝愿和我们这个地区的独特之处，而斐济展台更将是一份独特的体验。我还想感谢中国主办机构提供的财政帮助。

这是一个让世界了解中国的有利时机，是发展并加强与各参展国之间合作关系的绝佳契机，斐济非常荣幸可以成为其中的一员。

这次博览会为我们提供的跨文化对话的创新和互动，集中体现了今年的主题“城市，让生活更美好”。这一主题体现了我们要改善身处其中的社会环境的追求，而科学技术的发展以及此次博览会的质量则反映了这一主题，并且提醒我们在提供人类基本需求的同时还应改善和丰富城市人民的生活。

能够参加2010 年上海世博会是斐济以及其他太平洋岛国的骄傲，我们觉得我们也为此次博览会的成功作出了贡献。我相信2010 上海世博会必将长久地留存于我们的记忆。

预祝博览会圆满成功，谢谢你们。奥巴马总统在欢迎胡锦涛主席访美仪式上的致词

各位早上好！胡主席、中国代表团的各位成员：我谨代表米歇尔，并以我个人的名义，欢迎你们光临白宫。我还要代表美国人民，欢迎你们访问美国。年前,也是在一月的一天，另外一位美国总统曾经站在这里，欢迎另外一位中国领导共同庆祝美国和中华人民共和国关系正常化这一历史事件。那一天，邓小平在讲话中谈到了我们两国展开合作的伟大前景。

如今回首1979 年的那个冬日，就可以明显地看出，在那之前的30 年里，我们两国彼此隔绝疏远；而其后的30 年，是我们不断交流和理解增长的年代；这次访问可以为今后30年打下基础。

当前，有些人对美中合作所带来的好处持怀疑态度，而这次访问也是展示一个简单真理的时机，那就是，对方的成功，对我们本方的利益是事关重大的。在一个相互关联的世界里，在全球经济中，各个国家，包括我们两国在内，齐心协力就会更加繁荣、更加安全。

美国欢迎中国作为国际社会强大、繁荣和成功的一员而崛起。的确，中国的成功给我们两国人民都带来了经济实惠，而我们在一系列问题上的合作也推进了亚太地区乃至世界的稳定。

我们也知道这一点：历史表明，当所有国家和人民的权利和责任，包括每一个人所享有的普世的权利得到维护时，社会就会更加和谐，国家就会更加成功，世界就会更加公正。

主席先生，我们可以向我们的人民学习，中国和美国的学生和教育家、企业界人士、游客、研究人员和科学家，包括今天在场的华裔美国人，每天都在并肩合作，共同努力。

他们知道，即使我们两国在某些领域彼此竞争，我们还可以在许多其他领域本着相互尊重的精神，为了我们共同的利益进行合作。

邓小平先生多年前说过的话仍然符合实际，我们两国合作的可能性依然十分广阔。胡主席，中国代表团的成员，让我们共同抓住这些可能性吧。欢迎来到美利坚合众国。欢迎！

4-4 音乐天才A Gifted Musician Q: 海伦，你对媒体有什么忌讳吗？

Q: Helen, is there anything that you wish the media wouldn’t ask you? A: 没什么忌讳的。我喜欢新闻记者的提问，因为只要记者问有题要问我，那就说明我还干得不错。

A: No, I like inquiries from the press people, because as long as they are asking questions, I’m doing okay.Q: 你把自己的首张专辑献给你的母亲，请问她对你的艺术生涯产生了什么样的影响？ Q: You dedicated your debut album to your mom.In what way did she impact your art career? A: 我的母亲是一位歌唱家，也是我的挚友。我很崇拜她。她非常了不起，在很多方面都非常优秀，在精神和音乐两方面都很出色。

A: She was a vocalist and one of my best friends.I adored her.She was a tremendous induividual in so many ways, spiritual and musical in particular.Q: 你在歌曲创作方面有没有一种不同寻常的写作方式？ Q: Do you have a particular method for songwriting? A: 嗯，我不知道有没有特殊的歌曲作词方法。我先作曲。先思考一下歌曲的旋律，然后再看看有没有灵感，歌词会不会冒出来。一般而言，旋律出不来，十之八九歌词也不会出来。A: Well, I don’t know if I have.I start with the music.I try to be melodic first and I go ahead and see if the words will come.Generally, if the music isn’t happening, nine out of ten times the words aren’t happening.Q: 你的专辑有没有中心思想？

Q: Is there any common message in the album? A: 我不知道有没有中心思想，我觉得这张专辑讲的是真诚，这是我自己的一种感悟。我只是在表达自己的思想。歌曲创作如同欣赏绘画一样，是自我体验的一种表白。如果人们觉得有意思，那就是锦上添花了。

A: I don’t know if there is a message.I think it’s just honesty.It’s just the way I’ve experienced it.I’m just expressing myself.Songwriting is like looking at a painting.It is an expression of my personal experiences, and if people find that interesting, then that’s the icing on the cake.Q: 歌曲创作有助于你从个人经历中解脱出来吗？

Q: Does song writing help you get through personal experiences? A: 我觉得任何一种创造途径，任何一种创造方法，都可以成为解决自身问题或走出伤感阴影的一剂良药。很多人都得到这样的鼓励去从事创造性的活动，我肯定也会鼓励他人去从事这样的创造活动。不管是艺术、音乐、诗歌还是新闻，都一样。创造性很重要。没有创造性天赋的人只能欣赏他人的这种能力。人们对我说：“谢谢你！我本来不知道如何用语言来表达它。”那就是我的经历。创造性无疑是从容面对人生的一种本领。

A: I think any creative avenue, any creative outlet, is a way to sort out your issues or emotional distress.A lot of people are encouraged to do that, and I definitely encourage that.Be it art, music, poetry, or journalism.Creativity is important.People who lack that gift appreciate others’ability.People say to me.“Thank you, but I didn’t know how to put that in words.” That’s been my experience.Creativity is definitely a great element in coping with life.Q: 海伦，你有什么爱好？

Q: Do you have any hobbies, Helen? Q: 你还记得你的第一次演奏会吗？ Q: Do you remember your first show? A: 从前我住在一个小镇上，曾参加过一个乐队，我们还举办了一次演出。我记得两周以后那个乐队就解散了。我们没有出名，不过很好玩。来到纽约后，我便开始在一个叫做“老城”的地方参加演出，那才是我真正意义上的初演，那是我连吉他都不会弹，算是一种无伴奏演唱。我直到24岁才学会弹吉他。

A: I was in a band for a short time when I lived in a small town and we did a show.I think the band broke up two weeks later.We didn’t have a name, but it was fun.When I got to New York, I started playing at a place in an area known as the Old City.Those were really myfirest gigs, and I didn’t even play the fuitar then, I just sang a cappella.I didn’t know how to play the guitar until I was 2 A: I enjoy catching up with my friends, ’cause I’m rarely at home.With that said, my favorite recreational activity is playing pool.I also like to see my friends’bands play.I also enjoy paintiong or drawing, when I get around to it.Q: 你能用三个词来总结一下自己走过的人生道路吗？ Q: Can you describe your lift in just three words? A: 这可不容易呀。让我想想„这样说吧，我蛮复杂的，我喜欢无拘 无束，我热爱音乐创作。这可有了，这三个词应该是“复杂”、“无拘无束”、“音乐家”。怎么样？可以吧？

A: That’s difficult.Let me think….Yeah, I’m comples, a free spirit, and I just love making music.That’s right.The three words are comples, free-spirited, musician.How’s that? Are they OK? Q: 很好呀！Q: very good.A: 你说很好，那是因为我不知所云。A: It’s good because I don’t make any sense.Q: 将得很清楚呀。那么你对那些希望当歌手或作曲家的年轻人有什么建议吗？ Q: Yes, you do!Well, do you have any tips for aspiring singers or songwriters? Q: 讲得很清楚呀！那么你对那些希望当歌手或作曲家的年轻人有什么建议吗？ A: 以积极的态度看待批评。受到批评虽然不是什么好事，但却有助 于你修养一种忍耐之心。要是你早点明白并不是所有的人都喜欢你的作品，遇事你就能更从容应对了。我建议你们要坚持创作，坚持写自己的音乐。一旦创作成功，那么使用自己的东西便会有意想不到的丰厚回报，当然这样做有时需要花些时间。我花了十年时间才做到，有些人所用的时间比我少的多，而另一些人则永远不会成功。如果你持之以恒地热爱音乐，便会渡过难关。不要把对音乐的热爱异化为对金钱和名誉的追求。我想这样事情才会变得容易的多。

A: Take criticism constructively.It’s not fun when you get criticized, but it does help you with endurance.If you learn early that not everyone is going to love what you do, it’s easier to cope.I would suggest that you keep writing and makin gyour own music.When it works out, it is incredibly rewarding to use your own material, which sometimes takes a while.For me it took ten years, for some people it takes significantly less, and for others it never happens.Maintain your love for music.That will carry you through.Don’t make it about money and don’t make it about fame.I think that will make it a lot easier.Q: 海伦，谢谢您的忠告，同时也感谢您接受我的采访。

Q: Thank you for your advice, Helen.And thank you for accepting my interview.A: My pleasure.A: 不用客气。

Lesson 1 1.3 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 University Ladies 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 clothes and 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

Lesson 2 2.3 大提琴家马友友

今天将与我们见面的是我们这个时代最杰出的大提琴家马友友先生。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 the most 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 been murdered 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 learnt martial 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”？

《口译教程》汉英翻译参考译文

 That’s right, because Chinese culture is not just martial arts.That’s only 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 3 3.3 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。

3.4 Introduction to an arts and crafts company Distinguished guests, dear friends: I feel honored to have this opportunity to introduce our company to you through the platform provided by this conference.Founded 15 years ago, we are a company specializing in the design, manufacture and sales of handicrafts.Fifteen years ago our staff numbered 50;now the figure is 1,700.Fifteen years ago we rented 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 loudly and clearly of our success.Our leading products are various architectural models, including exotic European cathedrals, the Empire State Building, the White House, and the Pentagon in the U.S., along with cartoon animal toys and Christmas gifts with a variety of designs.Our designs have become trend setters in the industry.Today, our products are sold worldwide in more than twenty countries including Japan, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, America, the UK, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Sweden, and Germany.They are well received by both local importers and customers.For fifteen years, our output value has maintained an annual growth rate of 30%.3．5 财富500强

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”，有时也将前面的100名成为“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，未上市的公司没有列入，因为它们的股票没有公开发行。国外公司在美国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。论收入，即使500强排名最后的公司也是才大气粗，如去年排名最末的公司收入也超过30亿美圆。

除了介绍美国公司的“财富500强”之外，〈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主导地位，许多“财富500强”的美国公司也高居“全球500强”排行榜。

〈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，是很有意思的事情。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500强”和“全球500强”前列的公司，却上不了“最受人尊敬的公司”排行榜。也许甲壳虫乐队说得对——爱是不能用金钱买来的。

Lesson 4 4.3 西敏斯特大学介绍

非常感谢你们的盛情款待，我们很高兴来到这里与你们相聚。很遗憾校长先生今天无法前来，我谨代表他介绍一下我们的学校。

西敏斯特大学成立于1838年，是英国第一所工科大学，所以我们学校有着悠久的历史。我们的主校区位于英国首都伦敦市的中心地带。目前我们的学生来自132个不同国家，人数超过22，700。西敏斯特大学是全英最受国际学生欢迎的15所大学之一。

我们真诚地希望与贵校建立交流合作项目。

4.4 Preserve core values of the Lunar New Year To 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 back 3,000 years, it celebrates the passing of a peaceful year and welcomes the new one.The reunion dinner, eaten on New Year’s Eve, is de rigueur, with members of the extended family gathering for the most

《口译教程》汉英翻译参考译文

significant meal of the year.Even the absent members will endeavor to return home in time for 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 families are all there to have a big reunion dinner.Everyone will follow this custom.The female members are usually 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 way to strengthen kinship and friendship.However, economic development has resulted in some changes in lifestyles.After a busy year, people are tired of preparing for the reunion dinner, and would rather hold it in posh restaurants, despite the exorbitant costs.The festival door-to-door visits have given way to New Year greetings via telephone or text messages.Some families go away for a trip or even go to such extreme as to 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 during the New Year as where core values are embodied, without which the holiday would lose much of its significance.Some pessimists contend that, as the popularity of western culture grows, Chinese traditional festivals will gradually lose their original meaning and degenerate into commercial festivals like Christmas.The 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.4.5 中英教育交流

Q：My question is about educational exchanges.You mentioned in your 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 can not help wondering about the motivation of British 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: 这实际上是出于多种考虑。我不否认有商业考虑，办大学也要花钱，不过教育交流是主要目的。奖学金难申请是因为钱要由政府出，有时候纳税人有意见，说政府应该把奖学金给本国学生而不是外国学生，所以很困难。

但是我们现在已经在扩大奖学金范围。事实上，过去几年，中国学生来英国留学人数大大增加了，这说明奖学金难归难，你们还是有办法来留学的。

我想教育交流在未来会非常重要，我也希望，每一次外国学生来英国学习，回去时就像是一个英国的大使，到他的国家为我们宣传，不管是在中国、俄罗斯还是哪个国家。所以我们在扩大教育规模，吸收更多海外留学生。所以你们继续申请奖学金，我们会尽力帮助的。

Q： Mr.Blair, welcome to Tsinghua University.I was deeply impressed by your support for Sino-British educational exchanges, but I was also sorry to learn that some universities in northeastern Britain have decided to cancel the major of Chinese Culture and Language, among them the University of Durham.Will this affect cultural and educational cooperation between our two countries? If so, what is your solution?

A: 讲到学校的课程，既然我听说了这件事，我打算回去看看究竟，不过大学做出这样的决定原因很多，也许是经济原因，或者是他们面临某种困难，这也是时有的事情。要把想做的事情办成，钱总是不够的。不过我也可以向你保证，我们会一如既往地欢迎中国学生来英国学习，就算杜伦大学没有合适的专业，其他大学也肯定有。

Lesson 5 5．3 温家宝总理在世界旅游组织第15届全体大会上的致词

5.4 世界旅游组织简介

世界旅游组织是唯一接纳旅游经营者的政府间组织，它受联合国委托，在各国旅游业的宣传和发展工作中发挥核心作用。世界旅游组织成立于1975年，总部设在西班牙首都马德里。

世界旅游组织的宗旨是促进经济发展、国际了解、和平繁荣和对人权与人的基本自由的普遍尊重，并强调在贯彻这一宗旨时，要特别注意发展中国家在旅游事业方面的利益。

世界旅游组织的成员分为正式成员、联系成员和附属成员三类。正式成员是指所有的主权国家成员。联系成员指的是哪些不必负责外交事务的地区。这些成员需要经过为他们承担外交责任的政府的批准方可成为成员。

附属成员的范围十分广泛，包括直接从事旅游业或与旅游业有关的组织和企业，如：航空公司以及其他运输公司、饭店、餐馆、旅游批发商和零售商、金融机构、保险公司、出版集团等。

到2003年，世界旅游组织有141个正式成员国、7个联系成员和350个附属成员，他们代表着私营部门、教育机构、旅游协会以及地方旅游管理机构。

5.5 现代化与文化遗产的保护

主：Welcome to our studio.My first question is: how many years have you been in China? 宾：三年多了。我是2002年5月底来的。

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? 宾：我恐怕只能就我所在的城市谈谈经验，不过从周边城市的所见所闻，我也会有同样的看法。所有的外国人都非常清楚地看到，中国和中国的许多城市都在快速地发展。我想在东部沿海城市更是如此。到处矗立着崭新的高楼大厦，马路变得更加宽敞。

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?

宾：这个问题提得好，但是我觉得这是个相当复杂的问题。主：Why is it complicated? 宾：这个问题得从两个不同角度来谈。一方面是我作为一个外国人所期待的…… 我想看的，我感兴趣的和中国人想看的或者想让我看的肯定是不一样的。另一方面就是现代化与旧城文化保护相互冲突的问题。

主：Then let’s see what are the differences between a foreigner’s expectations and what the Chinese would like to see.宾：这个问题看来最好这么来谈，一般情况下，中国朋友带我们参观城市的时候，都是带我们去看现代建筑，比如机场、大桥、会展中心等等城市里最新的东西。但是外国人对老城区、小街小巷、古旧建筑更感兴趣，也就是那些使这个城市有别于我们所看过的其他城市的东西。一个外国人到过的其他地方可能比一般中国人多，所见过的机场和桥梁对他们来说没什么太大的不同，但是西安的庙宇他们就觉得有别于法国的教堂，更重要的是，中国城市的老房子更有别于英国城市里的老房子。

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 of the city should be reconstructed, and in fact the new buildings are symbols of the prosperity of a city.Isn’t this a good thing?

宾：当然，繁荣与发展对你们来说是很重要的，对我们也是很重要（你们认为发展很重要，我也这么看）。问题是当一个国家发展的时候，人民的生活水平也随之提高，甚至可能提高很快。他们需要让别人看到这种变化的事实。你们似乎忽略了，对以前的事物需要加以保护，不止是保护那些庙宇或者宫殿，而且应该保护人们居住的房屋，保护老城区的原貌。

《口译教程》汉英翻译参考译文

文化遗产一旦遭到破坏，你们是无法挽回这种损失的。

主：You are quite right.People nowadays are starting to realize the importance of the preservation of heritage.Some local governments are making great effort to deal with the contradiction between development and preservation.Well, because of the limitation of the time, I’m afraid we have to stop now.Thank you ever so much for your coming to discuss this topic with us.We hope you’ll come again.Lesson 6 6.4.国际烟草控制公约

女士们，先生们：

首先，我要告诉大家一个好消息。一个以降低死亡与疾病主要原因为目的的公约刚刚生效。这个公约就是《烟草控制框架公约》，它是由世界卫生组织主持达成的第一个（具有法律效力的）国际公共卫生条约。

已经有160多个国家在公约上签字，签约国必须在各自国家批准该公约。迄今为止，已有近60个国家批准了该公约，** 然而只需40个国家批准即可生效。该公约在2005年2月27日生效。

各缔约国必须提高香烟和其他烟草制品的价格和税费，必须打击烟草制品的非法交易，必须采取措施减少公共场所被动吸烟等。公约还禁止烟草广告以及烟草商进行其他营销活动，但是这样的限制不能违背相关国家的宪法规定。

公约号召烟草公司公布用以制造香烟的所有材料，此外，健康警告所包含的信息不能使公众误以为某些香烟的危害程度比其他香烟低。专家告诉我们，所有香烟都是不安全的。缔约国还必须支持开展帮助人民戒烟的活动，应该开展告诫人们不要吸烟的教育活动。

世界卫生组织的研究表明，全球目前有烟民约10亿人，其中超过80%的烟民生活在发展中国家。经常吸烟的人有一半死于吸烟，每年世界上有近500万人因吸烟而死亡，专家指出，按照目前的增长速度，到2020年，这个数字将达到1，000万。

吸烟导致并增加患上各种疾病的危险，这些疾病包括癌症和心脏病。吸烟的孕妇可能伤害胎儿。最近研究提供了更多事实，证明孩子从小就吸入烟雾，长大后得肺癌的危险性增大。

《烟草控制框架公约》广受世界人民的欢迎，但是还需要制定补充性协议来增强其效力。比如，发展中国家贯彻公约需要资金的支持。对于那些没有贯彻执行的国家还没有处罚的条例，不过他们的表现记录将在联合国大会接受检查。

我的话完了，谢谢大家！6.5 艾滋病的防治

A：王先生，早上好！非常感谢您抽时间接受我们的采访。请您介绍一下中国目前艾滋病传播情况。

B：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 contaminated blood from hospitals, babies acquiring the disease from their mothers, having improper sexual relationships.From the time we discovered the first AIDS patient in 1985, our country has entered a period of rapid increase in 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.A: 您认为增长这么快的主要原因在哪里？ B：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 do not yet have an efficient medicine to cure HIV/AIDS.A: 政府已经采取了哪些具体的措施来控制艾滋病在中国的蔓延呢？有什么国际合作吗？

B：We have already got very strong support from the international community, especially on the technical side.And on the domestic front, we’ve recognized that making our people understand and raising their awareness is very important.So, common sense, health education and behavioral changes are the only way for people to avoid HIV infection.A: 贵国政府在发布警报以及增强公众对艾滋病传播危险性的认识方面一直都在怎么做？特别是在农村地区？您认为要解决这个问题还应该进一步做些什么？

《口译教程》汉英翻译参考译文

B: Firstly, I think the government should improve our monitoring system, and secondly, NGOs should try their best to mobilize all the resources we can use to help the people, especially people at the grass roots and the rural areas, to let them know the terrible results of the spreading of the disease and how to prevent HIV/AIDS.I think we should do more advocacy work among the people.A: 非常感谢您回答我们这么多问题。预祝你们在与艾滋病的斗争中取得成功。B：Thank you.Lesson 10 10.3 中与欧盟的关系

女士们、先生们、朋友们：

今天，我很荣幸给大家介绍欧盟的一些情况以及欧盟与中国的关系。

欧盟全称为欧洲联盟，是在欧洲共同体基础上由25个（27）独立的国家组成的，目的是为了加强政治、经济和社会合作。原来称“欧共体”或“欧洲经济共同体”。

目前的25个成员国是奥地利、比利时、丹麦、芬兰、法国、希腊、爱尔兰、意大利、卢森堡、荷兰、葡萄牙、西班牙、瑞典、英国、塞浦路斯（希腊部分）、捷克共和国、爱沙尼亚、匈牙利、拉脱维亚、立陶宛、马耳他、欧兰、斯洛伐克、斯洛文尼亚。

欧盟25国总面积400万平方公里，接近半个中国的面积。总人口数为4.544亿，排行第三，仅次于中国和印度，约占世界总人口的7%。

欧盟统一货币为欧元，2002年1月1日正式启用。到目前为止，已经有12个欧盟成员国用欧元取代其本国货币。统一货币是旅行和价格比较变得容易些，它还为欧洲的商业往来、刺激增长与竞争创造了一个稳定的环境。

到目前为止，欧盟的国内生产总值逾10万亿美元。作为一个整体，这个规模与它的主要竞争对手美国差不多。经济总量和贸易总额分别占全球25%和35%。

欧盟与中国关系十分友好。今年5月欧盟与中国就建交30周年了。去年，欧盟与中国的进出口贸易总额达到2，000亿欧元。德国是中国最大的贸易伙伴，英国、荷兰名列第二和第三。

欧盟正抓住当前这一打好的历史机遇——团结曾经分裂的欧洲大陆，创造一个和平、稳定、民主的欧洲。这次欧盟的扩大还将创造一个几乎拥有5亿消费者的统一市场，这个市场饱含经济增长和不断繁荣的极大潜力。

我的话讲完了，谢谢大家！10.4 中国与东盟的关系

A: Excuse me, could you tell me when ASEAN was established? And how many member countries does it have now? B: 东盟于1967年8月8日成立，目前有10个成员国，它们是：文莱、柬埔寨、印度尼西亚、老挝、马来西亚、缅甸、菲律宾、泰国、新加坡和越南。

A: Besides these 10 member countries, ASEAN also always holds the 10+1, 10+3 meetings.Does it mean that ASEAN has some dialogue partners? B: 是的。东盟有10个对话伙伴，它们是澳大利亚、加拿大、中国、欧盟、印度、日本、俄罗斯、新西兰、韩国和美国。

A：What is the area that ASEAN covers? How many languages are spoken in this region? What is the total population? B: 东盟地区面积大约有450万平方公里，有14中官方语言和7种宗教。人口总数在2000年有5.12亿。

A: 4.5 million square kilometers is about half of China’s territory, such a big regional organization neighboring China.How is the relationship between ASEAN and China now?

B：东盟不仅在区域上面积广大，在经济、政治、科技上也是一个举足轻重的地区。所有的东盟成员国都是中国的友好近邻。自从上世纪90年代以来，中国与东盟的关系一直很好，政治联系日益密切。

A：Can you give some data?

B: 在中国与东盟的关系中，经贸。科技方面的合作是基本的组成部分。1994年的贸易总额从120亿增加到235亿美元，其中中欧广告的出口是109.2亿美元，进口123.6亿美元。双方的相互投资过去几年也不断增加。东盟在劳动力合作和项目开放方面已经成为中国的重要市场。中国和东盟已经同意用8年的时间创建世界人口最密集的自由贸易区。

A：The relationship is very good economically, but how about politically? B：东盟是一个非常活跃的地区性组织，在发展相互了解与互信、捍卫地区国家间的和平与发展起到非常积极的作用。中国与东盟的友好合作证明，国家无论大小，他们可能有不同的历史背景、社会制度、发展水平、文化传统以及价值观念，但是只要他们遵守和平共处五项原则，他们一定会和谐共处，共同发展。

10.5 Diplomatic work for the people

It is true that we have been making every effort to serve the purpose of doing diplomatic work for the people.On the international stage, in order to do good and practical things for the people, we have to rely on our friends.In this regard, Chinese leaders have played an exemplary role.They have made many good friends for China in the world.Last year, President Hu Jingtao, Chairman Wu Bangguo of the National People’s Congress, Premier Wen Jiabao and Chairman Jia Qinglin of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference visited a total of 34 countries.During their short yet tightly scheduled visits, they conducted extensive activities.Last year alone, we received 29 visiting heads of state, 23 heads of government and 42 foreign ministers.《口译教程》汉英翻译参考译文

In addition, different departments and industries across the country have been engaged in other diplomatic activities so as to make friends for the motherland and do practical things for the people.The inter-parliamentary, party-to-party and military-to-military diplomatic activities between China and other countries are fairly active, and a large number of Chinese NGOs are also active players in the international arena, such as the Chinese Youth League, the All China Women’s Federation and the All China Federation of Trade Unions.Many Chinese cities have also established twin-city relations with their foreign counterparts.At present, China has 235 diplomatic missions abroad staffed with over 5600 people, of whom 3200 are from the Foreign Ministry.Ambassador Sun Bian, who was recently named as one of the top 10 figures inspiring China most in 2004, is one of the best representatives of the Foreign Ministry.Recently, I came across a group of figures from a western newspaper.Let’s take a look at them together to see whether the “China threat theory” makes sense or is nothing but ridiculous nonsense.In 2004, the defense expenditure of the US was US$455.9 billion, accounting for 3.9% of its GDP, while that of China in the same year was only RMB 211.7 billion, making up 1.6% of China’s GDP.The US defense expenditure was 17.8 times that of China.In 2004, the per capita defense expenditure in the US was US$1540 while that of China was about US$20, with the US figure being 77 times that of China.In 2003, the US defense expenditure accounted for 47% of the global total, exceeding the total of the other 25 countries in the world with the largest defense expenditures.The figure was also 3.5 times the total sum of the defense expenditure of the other four permanent members of the Security Council.China follows the road of peaceful development.To maintain peace is both the starting point and the purpose of Chinese diplomacy.I believe that all those who respect the truth will see China a staunch force for peace in the world.
