B: 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 a 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.)A: I see.Would you recommend some scenic spots worth visiting in Shanghai?（我知道了。你能不能向我介绍一下上海值得一去的景点吗？）

B: 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，他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 buildings facing the river.)A：The guide also suggests that I visit Yu Garden.What do you think of it?（指南上还建议我去豫园，你认为这个提议怎么样？）

B : 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，具有四百多年的历史。

(The Yu Garden is another place worth visiting.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.)A: Thank you very much for your detail introduction.（非常感谢你的介绍。）

B : 不用谢，还有很多地方不能错过呢，比如浦东、上海植物园、上海博物馆、东方明珠等等。

(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.)

A: I can not wait to go to Shanghai.I am sure I will have a good stay in Shanghai.（我都等不及马上去上海了。我相信我在上海一定会玩的不错。）B: 希望你的上海之行愉快！

(Wish you a good tour in Shanghai!)

第四篇：中级口译翻译

06-9 进入耶鲁大学的校园，看到莘莘学子青春洋溢的脸庞，呼吸着书香浓郁的空气，我不由回想起40年前在北京清华大学度过的美好时光。当年老师们对我的教诲，同学们给我的启发，我至今仍受用不尽。

耶鲁大学以悠久的发展历史、独特的办学风格、卓著的学术成就闻名于世。如果时光能够倒流几十年，我真希望成为你们中的一员。耶鲁大学校训强调追求光明和真理，这符合人类进步的法则，也符合每个有志青年的心愿。

Coming to the Yale campus with its distinctive academic flavor and looking at the eager young faces in the audience, I cannot but recall my great experience studying at Qinghua University in Beijing 40 years ago.Indeed, what happens during one's school years will influence his whole life.I still benefit greatly from the instruction of my teachers and my interaction with other students.Yale is renowned for its long history, unique way of teaching and excellence in academic pursuit.If time could go back several decades, I would really like to be a student of Yale just like you.Yale's motto, “Light and Truth”, which is a calling for human progress, represents the aspiration of every motivated young man and woman.07-3 中国嬴得2010年世界博览会的举办权，靠的是国际社会对中国改革开放的支持和信心。这次博览会将是自1851年在英国伦敦第一次举办以来，首次在发展中国家举办的世界博览会，它表达了全世界人民对中国未来发展的期望。

2010年上海世博会的主题是“城市，让生活更美好”。未来的城市生活是全球关注的话题，与每一个国家及其人民息息相关。第一次以“城市”作为主题的2010世界博览会将吸引全球约200个国家和国际组织参与盛会，国内外参访人数预计达7000万。

China owes its successful bid for the World Exposition in 2010 to the international community’s support for and confidence in its reform and opening-up.The World Exposition will be the first one in a developing country since it was first held in 1851 in London, UK, which gives expression to the expectations the world’s people place on China’s future development.The theme of World Expo 2010 Shanghai is “Better City, Better Life.” The prospect of future urban life, a subject of global interest, concerns every nation and its people, Being the first World Exposition on the theme of city, Expo 2010 will attract about 200 nations and international organizations to participate in it, with an estimate of 70 million visitors from home and abroad.07-9 中国坚定不移地走和平发展道路，是基于中国国情的必然选择。1840年鸦片战争以后的100多年里，中国受尽了列强的欺辱。消除战争，实现和平，建设独立富强、民生幸福的国家，是近代以来中国人民孜孜以求的奋斗目标。今天的中国虽然取得了巨大的发展成就，但人口多，底子薄，发展不平衡，仍然是世界上最大的发展中国家。推动经济社会发展，不断改善人民生活始终是中国的中心任务。中国人民最需要、最珍爱和平的国际环境，愿尽自己所能，为推动各国共同发展作出积极贡献。

It is an inevitable choice based on its national conditions that China unswervingly takes the road of peaceful development During the 100 add years following the Opium War in 1840.China suffered untold /utter/ deep humiliation from the big powers.Ever since the advent of modern times, it has become the assiduously sought goal of the Chinese people to eliminate war, safeguard / maintain peace, and build a country of independence and prosperity in which the people can lead a happy life.Although it has made enormous achievements in development, China, with a large population, a weak economic foundation and unbalanced development, is still the largest developing country in the world.It is the central task of China to promote economic and social development and improve its people’s life.What the Chinese people need and cherish most is a peaceful international environment.We are willing to do our best to make energetic contributions for the common development of all countries.08-3 我国首次月球探测工程的成功,实现了中华民族的千年奔月梦想,开启了中国人走向深空探索宇宙奥秘的时代,标志着我国已经进入世界具有深空探测能力的国家行列。这是我国推进自主创新、建设创新型国家取得的又一标志性成果，是中华民族在攀登世界科技高峰征程上实现的又一历史性跨越，是中华民族为人类和平开发利用外层空间作出的又一重大贡献。全体中华儿女都为我们伟大祖国取得的这一辉煌成就感到骄傲和自豪

The success of the first stage of China’s lunar probe program has not only realized the centuries-old dream of the Chinese nation to fly to the moon, but also ushered in a new era for the Chinese people to explore the mysteries of deep space, indicating that our country has joined the countries with the capability to explore outer space.// As a fresh landmark achievement in our endeavor to promote homegrown innovation to make our country more innovative, this successful lunar probe marks a historical breakthrough on the part of the Chinese nation to scale the world heights of science and technology.By so doing, the Chinese nation has made another great contribution to the peaceful development and use of the outer space for humankind.// All the Chinese people feel proud of such glorious achievements made by our great motherland.08-9 据消息灵通人士透露，今年春节前，家乐福才与新大新发生”第一次亲密接触”，其中广州市政府无疑起了”红娘”的作用。短短几个月时间，双方”情投意合”。外界关心的是：家乐福到底看中新大新什么地方？

对此，新大新总经理何先生没有作出正面的回应，只是笼统地陈述在广州的百货业中新大新有自己独特的一面。据何先生透露，这次新大新出资持有新组建的公司35%的股份，家乐福占65%：”这是按照国家有关部门政策，即中方持股不得少于35%的规定厘定的”。As disclosed by a well-informed source, the “first intimate contact” between Carrefour and Xindaxin(XDX)was not conducted until the dawn of this year’s Spring Festival, with Guangzhou municipal government, not surprisingly, serving as the “matchmaker”.The contact quickly developed into “affinity” between the two parties within a short period of a few months.What is XDX’s appeal to Carrefour? This question is now the concern of the public.Mr.He, general manager of XDX, did not elaborate on direct response to this question.He stressed XDX’s “uniqueness” in Guangzhou’s retailing industry but with no specific details.As disclosed by Mr.He, XDX will hold 35% of the new joint venture’s shares, while Carrefour holding the rest 65%, which, is “in compliance with the policies decreed by state authorities concerned, i.e.Chinese companies should hold no less than 35% shares of a JV”.09-3 钟表上的秒针一下一下地移动，每移动一下就是表示我们的寿命已经缩短了一部分。再看看墙上挂着的可以一张张撕下的日历，每天撕下一张就是表示我们的寿命又缩短了一天。因为时间即生命。

没有人不爱惜他的生命，但很少人珍视他的时间。如果想在有生之年做一点什么事，学一点什么学问，充实自己，帮助别人，使生命成为有意义，不虚此生，那么就不可浪费光阴。这个道理人人都懂，可是很少人能积极不懈地善为利用他的时间。

Every tick-tock of the timepiece is a reminder that a portion of our life is lost.Every wall calendar page torn off marks a day taken away from our lifespan.Time is life.While life is cherished by almost all, time is not.To make the most out of our precious life, we must seek knowledge, we must try to be helpful to others, we must constantly add meaning to life by not wasting time.This is not difficult of a concept to grasp, but it is, unfortunately, a concept rarely put to good practice.09-9 有两个大款附庸风雅，参加一个冷餐会，与会者自然不乏真正的名流学者。席间，一个学者与其中的大款甲闲聊，话题不知怎么扯到莎士比亚身上。学者问大款甲：“先生是否对莎士比亚最感兴趣？”大款甲顿了顿，随即正色说：“相比之下，还是威士忌合我口味。”这时，大家都暗自窃笑。大款乙也看出了苗头，悻悻然走开。在回来的小车上，大款乙教训大款甲说：“你真一点都不懂，莎士比亚是饮料，你怎么把它当洋酒了！”

Two big shots attended a buffet reception, trying to pose as lovers of culture, for the participants included some real scholars of distinction.During the reception, a scholar chatted with Tycoon A and somehow the topic shifted to Shakespeare.The scholar asked, “Are you most interested in Shakespeare?” The big shot paused and announced with a severe countenance: “In comparison, whiskey is more to my taste.” Hearing that, all the listeners laughed up their sleeves.Tycoon B saw the straw in the wind and left resentfully.On their way home in the car, Tycoon B lectured Tycoon A: “ How could you be that ignorant!Shakespeare is a beverage, and you are foolish enough to take that as an imported spirit!”

10-3 2010年翩然而至，全球24个时区的万千钟声，此起彼伏，宣告在这人类新千年中，一个10年代的终结，又是另一个10年代的开始。在开局的10年中，中国经济在前9年连续9年保持着9%以上的增长。最后一年，虽受国际金融风暴影响，但依然能保持8%的高增长。中国犹如中流砥柱，力挽狂澜，使全球目光，再次聚焦于东方。一年多的实践，终使曙光再现。全人类定能以集体的智慧，攻坚克难，度过难关，必将是柳暗花明又一村的新局面。With the approaching of 2010, the ringing of bells in 24 time zones around the globe echoes one after another, announcing the lapse of the first decade in the new millennium and the start of another 10 years.Over the past ten years, China’s economy maintained a successive 9% increase for nine years since the beginning of the 21st century and still a 8% growth in the last year of the past decade, albeit influenced by global financial storm.Functioning like a mainstay that makes vigorous endeavors to turn the tide, China, once again, draws global attraction to the East.A silver lining is emerging again after a year-round practice.As long as all the mankind conquer adversities, override difficulties with collective wisdom, there is bound to be a way out.10-9 说起上海老城，总会让人和古老传统的东西联系起来，比如明代的豫园和清代的城隍庙。上海建城有700多年历史，但最具人文发展历史的时期是开埠后的150年间，诸如华洋杂居、石库门、老字号等等，都发生在开埠后的上海。

流传于老城内外的民间文化，丰富多彩。著名的“上海老城人物风情画卷”生动地描绘了上海老城市民的生活百态。上海老城是历史文明与现代文明的兼容并蓄，无论上海城市发展如何日新月异，她仍将记录着上海城市发展的历史华章。

The old town of Shanghai is always associated with something ancient and traditional, like the Yuyuan Garden in the Ming Dynasty and Chenghuangmiao(the Town God’s Temple or the City God Temple)in the Qing Dynasty.Despite a history of more than 700 years, the 150 years since it opened to foreign traders has witnessed the greatest humane development in Shanghai.In that period we have seen a Shanghai co-inhabited by Chinese locals and foreign nationals, the formation of the Shanghai Painting School, the building of Shikumen(stone-framed gate)houses, the development of time-honored firms or shops, and so on and so forth.Shanghai’s old town and beyond then featured a colorful folk culture, with all aspects of the life of local residents vividly depicted in the famous “The Painting Scroll of Local Residents in Shanghai’s Old Town”.Though Shanghai advances with each passing day, its old town, a harmonious combination of ancient and modern civilization, continues to be a glorious chapter in the history of the development of Shanghai city.11-3 豫园是上海著名的古典园林，已有400多年的历史。花园设计独特，具有明清两代南方的建筑艺术的风格。园内共有40余景，景色自然迷人，亭台楼阁、假山池塘和谐对称、协调均衡，其布局之精致自古闻名江南。豫园原为明代一位大官的私家花园，始建于1559年，直到20年后才建成。此后曾几经变迁，屡遭摧残。所幸的是，从1949年上海解放时，园内的主要景点尚完好无损。从1956年开始，豫园经过多次修缮，重现其昔日光彩。

Renowned as a classical garden in Shanghai, the Yuyuan Garden dates back over 400 years.Its unique design is characterized by the styles of both the Ming and Qing Dynasties, which features the ancient southern architectures.The garden is dotted with 40 attractive scenic spots fascinating the tourists with its pavilions, pagodas, ponds and rockeries.The layout of the garden, which is harmoniously coordinated, has been earning the fame in South China for its delicacy since ancient times.The garden used to be the private garden of a prestigious government official in the Ming Dynasty.Founded in 1559, its construction was not completed until 20 years later.The vicissitudes and ravages ensued.Fortunately, the major scenic spots in the garden remained intact when Shanghai was liberated in 1949.The Yuyuan Garden managed to attain its rejuvenation after several renovations.

第五篇：中级口译翻译总结

几千年来我们中国人一直视筷子为一种可以将饭从碗中逐口送入口中的最简单同时也是最有效的工具。早在周朝时期，筷子便被人们用来夹取荤、蔬菜，而米饭在那时则用手来取食。//全国各地的筷子大小基本一样，而所用的材料的种类则各有不同，所选材料有竹子、木材、漆器、玉石、象牙、塑料、吕、银、金等。特长的竹筷通常用于厨房中。//中国人使用筷子的方法很有艺术性，各人有各人的方法，就好像签名一样，不尽一致。中国人一般都能随心所欲的用筷子夹起一粒米饭，一粒豌豆，一只滑溜溜的蘑菇或海参。// 使用筷子时，要把一双筷子夹在大拇指和食指之间。要点是让其中的一根筷子保持不动，活动另一根筷子，以便能像钳子一样夹取食物。//

For thousands of years we Chinese have always regarded chopsticks the simplest possible and the most efficient tool for transporting bite-sized morsels of food form a bowl to the mouth.As early as in the Zhou Dynasty, chopsticks were used for picking up meat and vegetables, while hands were used for rice.// Chopsticks, which are roughly uniform in size throughout China, can be made of a variety of materials, including bamboo, wood, lacquer, jade, ivory, plastic, aluminum, silver and gold.Special long bamboo chopsticks are generally used in the kitchen.// The way we Chinese handle our chopsticks is quite artistic and varied from person to person like one，s signature.An average Chinese can very easily pick up a single tiny grain of rice, or a tiny piece of peas, or a slippery button mushroom or sea cucumber.// When using chopsticks, one should place both sticks between the thumb and forefinger.The point is to keep one stick still and move the other so as to make them wok like pincers.//

我们都知道信息存储、传输和处理是提高社会整体发展水平的最重要的保障条件之一，也是世界各国高技术竞争的焦点之一。但并非每一个人都知道，世界上最重要的信息是人类基因组提供的信息。//人类基因组蕴含着人类生、老、病、死的绝大多数遗传信息，破译这些信息将会在疾病的诊断、新药物的研制、新疗法的探索等领域引发一场革命。//一些科学家认为，破译人类遗传密码的重要性不亚于人类登月的“阿波罗计划”。人类基因组图谱及初步分析结果的公布，对生物科学和生物技术的发展起着重要的推动作用。// 我们确信的是，35 亿年前高度复杂的分子 DNA 就出现了。DNA 是地球上所有生命的基础，它有着像螺旋式楼梯一样的双螺旋结构。//

We all know that information storage, transmission and processing constitute some of the most important guarantee conditions for enhancing the level of overall social development, as well as a focal point in the competition of high technologies between various countries.But not everyone realizes that the most significant information reservoir is no other than the human genome.// The human genome contains most of the hereditary information related to the birth, aging, diseases and death of humankind.Its decoding will bring about a revolution to the diagnosis of diseases, to the development of new medicines and to the exploration of new therapies.// Some scientists believe the work to decipher the human genetic code is no less important than the Apollo moon landing program.The publication of the map and preliminary conclusion of the human genome played an important role in promoting the development of life science and biotechnology.// What we do know is that by three and a half billion years ago the highly complicated molecule DNA had emerged.DNA is the basis of all life on earth.It has a double helix structure, like a spiral staircase.//

汉语常被认为是一种非常古老的语言。从某种意义上说，这种说法不免失之偏颇。人类所有的语言都可追溯到朦胧的史前时期，但目前我们还无法确定这些语言是否都同宗同源。//五千年前华夏祖先说汉语的方法同英语人士的祖先说英语的方式大致相似。而从另一种意义上说，汉语确实也是一种很古老的语言。今天所存留下来的最早的汉字已有近四千年的历史。// 这些文字均为甲骨雕文。大部分铭文为神谕圣旨，内容大都与政治事件和宗教活动有关，有些则是关于天气和战争的记录。// 汉语有丰富的古代文字作品，源远流长，远非其他一种语言的文字可与之媲美。一些最古老的文字属象形文字。//

Chinese is often termed a very old language.In a sense such a statement is misleading.All human languages go back to the dim uncertainty of prehistory, and at present we have no way of knowing for sure whether or not they can all be traced back to the same root.// Five thousand years ago the ancestors of Chinese people spoke an early form of Chinese language in much the same way that the ancestors of English-speaking people were using an early form of the English language.In a sense, however, Chinese is indeed a very old language.The earliest written forms of Chinese in existence today date back nearly 4,000 years.// These writings are incisions on bones and tortoise shell.Most of the inscriptions are oracular, dealing mostly with political and religious events, or with weather or warfare.// Chinese has an abundance of ancient writings that reach back continuously in time further than the writings of any other language in the world.Some of the earliest written Chinese characters were quite pictographic.// 国际贸易的基本原则是平等互利，各国追求各自的利益是正常的，出现一些摩擦和纠纷也是不可避免的。关键要以冷静而明智的态度正确对待和处理摩擦和纠纷。// 就中美贸易而言，互利共赢的经贸关系给两国人民带来了实实在在的经济利益。今天，美国在华投资设立的企业已超过 4 万家，投资额达 450 亿美元。// 美国 500 强企业有 400 多家进入中国，大多数企业获利丰厚。与此同时，在美国市场上，许多中国商品受到美国消费者的青睐。中国在美国投资设立的企业已超过 1000 家。// 我们可以预见，中美贸易摩擦将随着经贸关系的深化而凸显，但是中美经贸合作的总体发展是不可逆转的。主要有两个原因，其一：中美贸易具有很大互补性。其二：中国产品具有明显的劳动力成本优势。//

Equality and mutual benefit is the fundamental principle of international trade.Therefore, it is normal that countries will seek to protect their own interests, which may lead to trade frictions and disputes.The key lies in how to cope with these issues correctly in a cool and wise manner.// As for China-US trade, mutually beneficial and win-win trade and economic ties have delivered tangible economic benefits to the two peoples.Now, with over 40,000 U.S.-invested enterprises, the total investment in china stands at $45 billion.// Of the top 500 U.S companies, more than 400 have their business in china, and most of them are making handsome profit.At the same time, many Chinese commodities have become favored choices of American consumers.Meanwhile, the number of Chinese-invested enterprises in the United Sates has surpassed 1,000.// We predict that trade disputes between china and the United States will become more acute along with the further development in bilateral trade and economic cooperation.The overall development in bilateral trade and economic cooperation is, however, irreversible.There are two factors contribute to this trend.Firstly, the Sino-U.S.economic and trade relations enjoy complementarities in vast fields.Secondly, china has an outstanding labor cost advantage.// 我赞同许多东亚学者的观点，东方文明可以医治盛行于西方世界的一些顽疾。西方世界个人自由主义泛滥导致了极端个人主义、性关系混乱以及过度暴力行为，对此我们不能视而不见。// 相反，东方社会的自我约束力，集体责任感以及温厚儒雅的传统倒可以消除西方社会的许多恶疾。// 在这个信息时代，世界已缩小成一个地球村。这个地球村里，不再有什么泾渭分明的东方世界和西方世界，我们是生活在同一个社区里的邻里。// 因此，我们彼此之间无须冲突。我们之间的关系应该是一种友好合作，平等互补的关系。我们应该相互理解，相互学习，和睦共处。//

I share the same view with many East Asian scholars that the Oriental civilization can heal some of the prevailing, stubborn Western ills.We should not turn a blind eye to the fact that individual freedom has gone overboard in the West, resulting in extreme individualism, sexual promiscuity and excessive use of violence.// By contrast, self-discipline, corporate responsibility and the pacific tradition of East Asia can offset many Western vices.// At this age of information, the world has shrunk as a global village in which there will be no clear-cut worlds of the East and the West any more, but a world of one community with neighboring families.// Therefore, we do not necessarily have to come into clash with each other.Our relationship is one of friendly cooperation, equality and mutual complementarity and therefore, we should understand and learn from each other, and live in harmony.//

武术在我国源远流长，是中华民族传统文化的瑰宝。我们知道，一个民族的优秀文化遗产，不仅仅属于一个民族，它会逐渐传播到世界而成为人类的共同财富。// 为了更好的推广武术运动，使其与奥运项目接轨，中国武协和国际武联做了大量的艰苦卓绝的工作。现在武术运动已被列为一种具有与保龄球运动和国际标准舞同等地位的奥运表演项目。//武术的蓬勃发展，除得益于其项目本身的吸引力之外，早期移居海外的一代武术大师功不可没。//老一代武术家在海外播种下了武术的种子，使武术这门既可以自卫又可以健身的运动很快就在新的土地上扎下了根。今天高超的武术大师已遍布世界各地，武术爱好者也与日俱增。//

Wushu, or Chinese martial art, can be traced back to ancient times.It is a gem of Chinese traditional culture.As we all know, the fine culture of a nation doesn’t belong to the nation alone and it will be spread to the rest of the world and shared by all humanity.// The Chinese Wushu Association and International Wushu Federation(IWUF)have been working very hard to popularize wushu and make the Chinese martial art closer to the Olympic Movement.Wushu was accepted to join bowling and international standard dance as an Olympic demonstration event.// The booming of wushu is attributed not only to the attractiveness of the sport but also to emigrant Chinese wushu masters over the years.// Martial artists of the older generations have sown wushu seeds in foreign countries.Weshu, which can be used as self defense and can keep practitioners fit and strong, soom became popular on new lands.Today sperb wushu masters are active all over the world, and amateurs are on the increase with each passing day.为了切实保护儿童权益，中国的立法、司法、政府各有关部门以及社会团体都建立了相应的机制，以监督、实施和促进保护儿童事业的健康发展。// 中国政府动员社会采取多种方式关心和帮助残疾儿童的成长，大力弘扬残疾儿童自强不息的精神，倡导团结、友爱、互助的道德风尚。// 中华民族素有“携幼”，“爱幼”的传统美德，中国古语“有无有以及人之幼”了流传至今。// 我们要在全社会倡导树立“爱护儿童、教育儿童、为儿童做表率、为儿童办实事”的公民意识，并努力为儿童事业的发展创造良好的社会条件。//

To effectively protect children’s rights and interests, china’s legislation, judicial and government departments concerned as well as non-governmental organizations have set up corresponding mechanisms to supervise, facilitate and promote the healthy development of the work on protecting children.// The Chinese government has done a great deal to mobilize various circles in society to care for, in various manners , the development of disabled children, to greatly encourage the spirit of unceasing self-improvement among physically disadvantaged children and to advocate the valued social virtues of unity, friendship and mutual aid.// The Chinese nation has long cultivated the traditional virtues of “ bring up the young” and caring for the young”.An old Chinese saying that “love our children and love others’ children in the same manner” is still very popular.// We should urge the society at large to raise the awareness of importance of “protecting and educating children, and setting a good example and doing practical thing for children”.We will spare no efforts to create favorable social conditions for the progress of child development programs.//

过去 10年，海平面升高和森林看法的速度都是前所未有的；生态恶化、物种灭绝、臭氧层被破坏、温室效应、酸雨等一系列环境问题已经严重影响到人类的生存环境。// 环境恶化造成的问题之一就是缺水。目前全世界 40%以上的人口，即 20 多亿人，面临缺水问题。据预测，未来 25 年全球人口将有 60 亿增长到 80 亿，环境保护面临更大的压力。// 中国作为一个发展中国家，面临着发展经济和保护环境的双重任务。从国情出发，中国在全面推进现代化的过程中，将环境保护视为一项基本国策。// 众所周知，对生态环境和生物多样性的保护是环保工作的重点。我国野生动植物物种丰富，仅脊椎动物就有 6000 多种左右，高等植物 3 万多种。//

Sea level rose and forest were destroyed at an unprecedented rate during the last decade.A series of environmental problems such s the deterioration of ecosystem, the extinction of bio-species, damage to the ozone layer, the green-house effect, acid rain, have posed a serious threat to human living conditions.// Environmental crisis leads to one of the serious problems, namely, water shortage.Presently, more than 40% of the world’s population, more than 2 billion people, now face water shortage.It is predicted hat with the global population expected to increase from six billion to eight billion over the next 25 years, more pressure on environmental protection stress is expected.// As a developing country, china is confronted with the dual task of developing the economy and protecting the environment.Proceeding from its national conditions, china has, in the process of promoting its overall modernization program, made environmental protection one of its basic state policies.// It is known to all that protection of the ecological environment and biodiversity is the focal point of environmental protection work.China is rich in wildlife species.There are about 6,000 vertebrates alone and 30,000 species of higher plants.//

改革开放 30 年来，随着中国逐渐崛起成为政治经济强国，海外人士学习汉语的现象与日俱增，海外孔子学院也成了人们学习中国语言和中国文化的首选之地。// 通过学习汉语，他们对这个和自己文化大相径庭的古老文明产生了浓厚的兴趣，而且有机会了解中国的哲学、艺术、医学、饮食文化，亲身体验这个文明古国的风采。// 作为第二文化，中国文化也丰富了他们的生活和世界观。可以说，这个潮流方兴未艾。越来越多的学习汉语的美国人除了对中国菜肴赞不绝口之外，也在尝试针灸，草药和武术。//他们也看功夫电影，学习东方时装潮流和手工艺，不知不觉的在日常生活中谈及中国的点心，人参、银杏，乌龙茶等。目前在美国最热门的中国文化是道家学说和有着神秘色彩的风水学。
