第一篇：英语口译基础教程 Unit 7-10

Unit 7 P1 Dialogue and cooperation among cultures and civilizations are some of the best ways to further understanding and tolerance among peoples.They help to avoid misunderstandings due to ideological, economic and cultural differences.Mistrust and ignorance among cultures and civilizations can be the source of tensions undermining peace in the world.Given the richness, diversity and long history of their respective cultures, Europe and Asia, determined to promote unity in diversity, are particularly committed to developing dialogue among their cultures and to protecting and promoting cultural diversity in order to meet positively new globalization related challenges.在文化和文明之间开展对话与合作是不同民族间增进理解和包容的最好方式之一，它有助于避免意识形态、经济以及文化差异引起的误解。不同文化和文明间的互不信任和缺乏了解往往会造成紧张局面，危及世界和平。欧洲和亚洲各自都有丰富多彩、历史悠久的文化，有鉴于此，双方都坚定地在多样化中推动统一，致力于在文化间展开对话，保护和弘扬文化多样性，以积极面对全球化带来的新挑战。

P 2 Indian and Iranian civilizations enjoy an ancient coexistence.The two nations have experienced friendly relations at least 3500 years.Both civilizations, with their shared racial origin, descending from the Aryan tribes, and the abundant cultural affinities, played an active role in developing human civilization and neither was considered a “marginal civilization”.In fact, the civilizations’ commonalities are unique and the frequent exchanges of visit by both countries’ educated people and common people have led to close relationship between the nations.印度文明和伊朗文明自古以来就相安共处。3500多年以来，两国一直保持着良好的关系。这两种文明拥有共同的种族渊源——都起源于亚利安部落和众多的文化相似性，在人类文明的发展中起到了积极的作用，都不是“边缘文化”。事实上，印度文明和伊朗文明有着许多独特的共性，两国知识分子和平民大众间频繁互访也在也在两国间建立起了密切联系。

P 3 中国和南非的友谊源远流长，可以追溯到公元16世纪。自1998年1月1日在中南两国建立外交关系以来，双边经贸合作和文化交流受到两国政府的高度重视；各种投资及合作项目雨后春笋般地在两国生根发芽。在经济全球化发展的格局中，中南两国之间的巨大互补性使得两国之间的交往和交流不仅成为一种可能，而且成为一种必然。

The friendship between China and South Africa can be traced back to the sixth century.After the establishment of the formal diplomatic relationship between china and south Africa on January 1,1998, both governments have paid special attention to the bilateral trade cooperation and cultural exchanges.Many investment and cooperation projects have been rapidly set up in both countries.With the globalization of the world economy, the complementation of South Africa and china not only makes the cooperation and exchanges between them possible, but also offers a definite historical choice.P 4 金秋十月，肯尼迪中心将带给您崭新的中国表演艺术和文化体验。拥有上下五千年悠久历史和13亿人的中国，正以惊人的步伐迈入21世纪。正当这充满活力的中华文明升起并闪耀在世界舞台之时，肯尼迪中心的“中国文化节”将向您展示这个国家传统与崭新的面貌，熟悉与神奇的风采。

During the month of October, the Kennedy center is your destination for a groundbreaking experience in Chinese performing arts and culture.Rich with 5000 years of history and 1.3 billion people, China has moved into the 21st century at a breathtaking pace.As this dynamic civilization catapults to prominence upon the world stage, the Kennedy Center’s Festival of China reveals fascinating visions of the country that are ancient and new, familiar and exotic.Unit 8 P1 Today let me give you not a definition but a description of country music in the United States, first of all, the themes in country music are traditionally rural-oriented and very often southern.Second, the lyrics----or words of the song----

are usually country simple and basic.The guitar is the main music instruments, too, but usually country music is built around the guitar.And the country singer’s voice traditionally had a nasal quality and often a southern or southwestern accent.今天，我要给你们讲的不是美国乡村音乐的定义，而是它的描述。首先，乡村音乐的主题是传统的，以乡村为题，经常指南方乡村音乐。其二，歌词通常简单明了。吉他是乡村音乐的主要乐器，你也能听到钢琴和其他乐器声，但乡村音乐通常以吉他为主。乡村音乐的歌手传统上带有鼻音，往往还带有南方或西南方口音。

P2 In an age that haughtily made man the measures of all things, Shakespeare betrayed the essential fragility of the species, defining humanity with the stories that continue to be our parable, both existentialist and romantic.His works are still the vessels of our dreams and thoughts.“Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?’’ ”A tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.’’For the generations after him, Shakespeare would be both goad and god----not only the autocrat of the English language but a seer into what Coleridge called “the inferior nature” of human existence.We know little of Shakespeare’s interior life, and some even question his identity.But there is no need for pyramids or monuments.His monument is his name.Shakespeare is now the global code word for culture.在人类能够趾高气扬评判一切事物的时代，莎士比亚讲述了至今仍为我们所传颂的存在主义和浪漫主义故事，给人类重新定义，届时除了人类脆弱的本性。他的话语仍然是我们梦想和思想的导管。“我能把你夏天相比拟？”“人生不过是痴人说梦，充满喧嚣与哗动，却了无异议。”对于莎士比亚之后的一代又一代的人来说，他既催人奋进，又令人望尘莫及，逼近英语无人匹敌，而且对于人类的本性的洞察入木三分。对于莎士比亚的内心世界，我们知之甚少，有人甚至怀疑是否确有其人。但是莎士比亚不需要金字塔，不需要纪念碑。他的纪念碑就是他的名字。莎士比亚已经是全球文化的代名词。

P3 电影节明星云集无疑是锦上添花的点睛之笔，但电影节最大的亮点无疑是成百部精心挑选的国际影坛佳作的集中放映。在入选的影片中，文艺片、商业片、独立制作的小成本影片甚至另类电影比比皆是，更有电影短片、纪录片的加入，影片展映可谓异彩纷呈，满足了境外嘉宾，电影专业人士以及广大影迷电影艺术的不同追求。电影节的影片放映不同于常规的影院业放映，它充分体现了电影的多元与多变，强化了电影的艺术性和纯粹性，为那些追求卓越生活品质、享受艺术和崇尚艺术的人提供不可多得的机会。

Numerous shining stars perfects the festival with glory, but the true focus of the film festival is the screening of excellent films selected from hundreds of films.These films include art films, commercial films, low-budget independent films, and also with the join in of short films and documentaries, the international panorama becomes much more diversified and splendid.The enriching selection is able to fulfill the multi needs of foreign guests, film specialist, and of course the local mass audience.Screenings during the festival is different from the usual box office line of screening.Festival screenings fully display the diversity and ever–changing phases of films.The pureness and aesthetics of films are intensified, thus making it easier for people in persuasion of high quality life and artistic taste.P4 在中国每星期的标准工作时间为40小时，如此可使工作的人有充分的时间娱乐和进修。除体育和健身外，摄影、集邮、缝纫和园艺是大众喜爱的消遣。其他的爱好包括绘画、雕塑、木工及金属工。

The standard work hours every week in china is 40 hours.This gives workers ample times for recreation and educational pursuits.In addition to sports and keep fit activities, photography, stamp collecting, needlework, and gardening are popular leisure pursuits.Other hobbies people enjoy include painting, sculpture, wood and metal work.Unit 9 P1 Environmental pollution is a term that refers to all the way by which man pollutes his surroundings.Man dirties the air with gasses and smoke, poisons the water with chemicals and other substances, and damages the soil with too many fertilizers and pesticides.Man also pollutes his surroundings in various other ways.For example, people ruin natural beauty by scattering junk and litter on the land and in the water.They operate machines and motor vehicles that fill the air with disturbing noise.Nearly everyone causes pollution in some way.环境污染是指人们利用各种方式污染周围环境的一个术语。人们通过气体和烟雾来污染空气，用化学物质以及其他物质污染水源，还用大量的化肥和杀虫剂破坏土壤。人们还通过其他的方式污染着环境。例如，总有人往地面上和水里扔垃圾，破坏自然美。人们使用的一些机器和交通工具噪音很大。可以说，几乎每个人都在某种程度上对周围环境造成污染。

P 2 People may differ in what they consider to be a pollutant, on the basis of their assessment of benefits and risks to their health and economic well-being.For example, visible and invisible chemicals spewed into the air or water from a plant nearby pose a danger to the people nearby and other animals and plants.However, if the installation of expensive pollution controls leads to the reduction of productivity, the unemployed might feel that the risks from polluted air and water are minor weighted against the benefits of profitable---some forms of air pollution might be a slight annoyance to a healthy person but life threatening to someone with emphysema or another respiratory disorder.基于环境污染对人类健康和生活所带来的利弊的不同估计，人们对同一污染源持有不同的看法。例如，有形和无形的化学原料从附近的工厂排放到空气或水中，这对于附近的人和其他的生物构成危害。但是，如果该工厂因装臵昂贵的控污的设备而导致生产成本提高，失业工人也许会觉得废气废水所造成的危险与拥有丰厚利润的工作相比真是微乎其微。同种程度的污染对不同的影响也不同。比如说，某些空气污染对于一个健康的人来说只是小烦恼，而对患有肺气肿或呼吸道疾病的人来说却是生死攸关的。

P 3 水污染使我们用来饮用和清洗的纯净新鲜的水资源不断减少，用于游泳、垂钓的水源也在减少。水污染源主要来自工业、农场以及排水系统。

每年有数千万吨工业废物被倾倒入水中，这些废物包括化学原料，来自动植物的废物，以及其他上百种废物。农场废物包括动植物排泄、化肥和杀虫剂。其中大部分物体都从田地里排除流入附近的水中。排水系统将来自每家每户，办公室和工业中的废水排出。

Water pollution reduces the amount of pore, fresh water that is available for such necessities as drinking and cleaning, and for such activities as swimming and fishing.The pollutants that affect water come mainly from industries, farm, and sewerage systems.Industries dump millions of tons of waste products into bodies of water each year.These wastes include chemicals, wastes from animal and plant matter, and hundreds of other substances.Wastes rfrom farms include animal wastes, fertilizers, and pesticides.Most of these materials drain off farm fields and into nearby bodies of water, sewerage systems carry wastes from homes, offices, and industries into water.P 4 环境污染是当今人们所面临的一个严重的问题。被严重污染的空气会引起各种疾病，甚至死亡。被污染的水源会引起鱼类以及其他海洋生物的死亡，被污染的土壤会减少种植农作物的面积。同时环境污染使人们周围美丽的自然环境变得日益丑陋。环境的好坏在一定程度上决定了一个地区的经济发展前景，良好的环境及有力的环境保护措施是保证经济可持续发展的重要前提。

Environmental pollution is one of the most serious problems facing mankind today.badly polluted air can cause illness, and even death.Polluted water kills fish and other marine life.Pollution of soil reduces the amount of land available for growing food.Environmental pollution also brings ugliness to man’s naturally beautiful world.The environmental condition to certain extant determines the prospect of economic development of an area.Benign environment and effective environmental protection measure is a crucial guarantee of sustainable development of economy.

Unit one

“十一五”是中国旅游业发展的重要战略提升期，面临着心得发展机遇和挑战。目前旅游业在国民经济中的地位不断提升，目前全国有24个省区市把旅游业定位为支柱产业、先导产业或重要产业，旅游业发展的宏观环境将进一步得到优化。随着全面建设小康社会的推进，中国人均生产总值将由1000美元向3000美元跨越，旅游消费需求将大幅度提升。这是中国旅游业持续兴旺的重要动力。Paragraph three

The internationalization is the symbol of the maturation of the exhibition sector ,exhibitions are very important platforms of promoting the international business ,and cooperation of economy and technology ,the internationalization is the necessary trend of the development of the exhibitions.The development of the international business and the cooperation of economy and technology urges the internationalization of the exhibition sector , in the meanwhile the internationalization of the exhibition sector also promotes the development of the international business and the cooperation of the economy and technology ,the two depend on each other and promote each other.Unit3

Paragraph 1

Many years ago the world may have worried about the rise of china.now it welcomes this as truly an opportunity for us all.china’s engagement in the world economy is strengthening ,as well as the partnership between our two nations.British trade with china has doubled over the last year alone.This growth is faster than that of any other G8 countries.British is also the largest European investor in china.许多年前世界担心中国的腾飞，现在事实上，中国的经济发展对我们所有人来说都是一个机遇。中国再进一步参与全球经济，而我们两国的伙伴关系也进一步加深。中英贸易在过去5年中翻了一番，这一增长在八国集团国家中是增长最快的。英国在中国的投资也居欧洲国家之首。P3 澳大利亚有着丰富的资源、发达的经济和先进的技术，中国有着众多的人口、巨大的市场和发展潜力，经济互补性很强。建立中澳长期稳定的经贸合作关系，符合两国和两国人民的根本利益。今天，我同霍华德总理进行富有成果的会谈，就发展中澳21世纪互利共赢的经贸合作关系达成广泛共识。我们一致同意扩大在贸易、投资、能源、矿产资源等领域的合作加快中澳自由贸易区的谈判进程，实现互利共赢。

Last year was the best year for global GDP growth in decades.most parts of the world recorded improved growth performance.the prospects for this year remain favorable , although growth is likely to be at a slower, more sustainable pace : it is projected to fall from about 5% to under 4.5% this year.global trade has also recovered strongly since the downturn in 2001,and continues to be an important engine of growth: it is currently expanding at something close to twice the rate of growth of the world GDP.去年是十几年来全球总值增长最快的一年。世界大部分地区都有进一步增长。今年的前景看来也很乐观，尽管增长速度可能会稍微慢一些，持续性会更强一些。预计今年的增长率会从5%下降到不足4.5%。全球贸易自从2001年低迷时期以后也反弹强劲，并且继续成为增长的重要动力：目前的增长速度几乎是全球国内生产总值的两倍。P 4 同时也必须看到，经济全球化是一把双刃剑。由于不合理、不公正的国际政治经济秩序没有得到根本改变，经济全球化加剧了各国各地区发展不平衡性。尤其是使南北的发展差距，贫富差距进一步扩大。经济全球化也使发展中国家更容易受到外部经济波动和金融危机的影响。上个世纪90年代末发生的亚洲金融危机，就是亚洲一些国家和地区受到猛烈冲击。At the same time ,it must be noted that economic globalization is a double-edge sword.as the unfair and unreasonable international political and economic order has not been fundamentally changed yet.,economic globalization has exacerbated the uneven development among countries and regions and widened ,in particular ,the gap between the North and the South and between the rich and the poor.it has also made developing countries more vulnerable to the impact of external economic turmoil and financial crisis , as evidenced by the grave impact of the Asian financial crisis of the late 1990s on some Asian countries and regions.Unit 5 Mr.president, Madam Liu, Laura and I are honored to you and your delegation to the white house.It’s a pleasure to have you here, along with our distinguished guests.In 2008,china will welcome athletes from all over the world as your great nation hosts the summer Olympics.Beijing will showcase China’s transformation and demonstrate China’s commitment to the international institutions that make fair and peaceful competition possible for the all nations.Mr.President, I thank you for the constructive and candid conversations we had this morning.I appreciate the opportunity to expand the dialogue between our two great nations.And Mr.President, I’m pleased to offer a toast to you and to your gracious wife, and to the people of China.主席阁下，刘女士，劳拉和我非常荣幸欢迎您和您的代表团来到白宫。非常高兴您还有其他尊贵的朋友能来到白宫。2008年中国举办奥运会，届时来自世界各地的运动员将齐聚中国。北京将向世人展示中国的转变，展示中国致力于建立一个对于所有国家都公正和平的竞争环境的承诺。主席阁下，感谢您今天早上与我进行了坦诚并富有建设性的谈话。我十分珍惜在我们两个伟大国家之间进一步拓宽对话的机会。主席阁下，让我们为您、为您的尊贵的夫人、为中国人民干杯！P 2 Today, I am delighted to have this opportunity to attend the Annual Meeting of the World Economic Forum , and discuss with distinguished statesman ,entrepreneurs and scholars from many countries the prospect of the world economy in the 1990s.Please allow me to extend my greetings to the President to the President of the Annual Meeting and all the ladies and gentlemen present here.My greetings also go to government and people of our host, the Swiss Confederation.我今天十分高兴有机会参加世界经济论坛年会，与来自各国的政治家、企业家和学者们讨论90年代世界经济形势展望，请允许我向大会主席，以及与会的女士们、先生们致意；同时还要向东道主瑞士政府和人民致意。Unit 6 P3 中国京剧是中国的国粹，已有200多年历史。其剧目之丰富，表演艺术家、剧团、观众之多 影响之深均为全国之冠。自1919年京剧艺术大师梅兰芳先生东渡日本演出后至今，京剧的足迹遍及全球，对促进中西方文化交流，人民友好往来，增进团结、友谊做出了卓越的贡献。Beijing opera of china is a national treasure with a history of 200 years.its richness of repertoire , great number of performing artists ,troupes and audience, and profound influence are incomparable in china.since Mei Lanfang ,the grand master of Beijing opera ,visited Japan in 1919, Beijing opera has become known all over the world ,and has made remarkable contributions to cultural exchanges between china and the West ,and to the solidarity as well as friendship of the human kind.Unit 7 Dialogue and cooperation among cultures and civilizations are some of the best ways to further understanding and tolerance among peoples.They help to avoid misunderstandings due to ideological , economic and cultural differences.Mistrust and ignorance among cultures and civilizations can be the source of tensions undermining peace in the world.Given the richness ,diversity and long history of their respective cultures ,Europe and Asia ,determined to promote unity in diversity ,are particularly committed to developing dialogue among their cultures and to protecting and promoting cultural diversity in order to meet positively new globalization related challenges.在文化和文明之间开展对话与合作是不同民族间增进理解和包容的最好方式之一，它有助于避免意识形态、经济以及文化差异引起的误解。不同文化和文明间的互不信任和缺乏了解往往会造成紧张局面，危及世界和平。欧洲和亚洲各自都有丰富多彩、历史悠久的文化，有鉴于此，双方都坚定地在多样化中推动统一，致力于在文化间展开对话，保护和弘扬文化多样性，以积极面对全球化带来的新挑战。Unit 8 P3 电影节明星云集无疑是锦上添花的点睛之笔，但电影节最大的亮点无疑是成百部精心挑选的国际影坛佳作的集中放映。在入选的影片中，文艺片、商业片、独立制作的小成本影片甚至另类电影比比皆是，更有电影短片、纪录片的加入，影片展映可谓异彩纷呈，满足了境外嘉宾，电影专业人士以及广大影迷电影艺术的不同追求。电影节的影片放映不同于常规的影院业放映，它充分体现了电影的多元与多变，强化了电影的艺术性和纯粹性，为那些追求卓越生活品质、享受艺术和崇尚艺术的人提供不可多得的机会。

Environmental pollution is one of the most serious problems facing mankind today.badly polluted air can cause illness ,and even death.polluted water kills fish and other marine life.pollution of soil reduces the amount of land available for growing food.environmental pollution also brings ugliness to man’s naturally beautiful world.the environmental conditionm to certain extant determines the prospect of economic development of an area.benign environment and effective environmental protection measure is a crucial guarantee of sustainable development of economy.Unit 10 P 4

数字经济这一概念强调的是我们当前的经济收到了信息技术的巨大影响。随着信息技术的发展，新的工作方式、通信手段、产品、服务以及社区陆续形成。借助因特网，可直接在网上提供各种各样的服务等无形产品。就有形产品而言，人们可首先在网上订购和签订合同，然后再将实物送达。这样做生意可减少成本，提高服务质量，消费者也会从中受益。

The concept of digital economy is stressing that our economy is significantly influenced by information technology.New ways of working , new means of communication ,new goods and new services ,and new forms of community have come into being with the4 development of the digital technology or information technology.with th help of the internet , intangible products such as various services can be provided on line.as for tangible goods ,people can order and contract through the internet ,and then get them delivered physically.by this way ,business cost is reduced ,the quality of services improved ,and the consumers are benefited.Unit 12 P3 联合国如同整个国际社会一样，面临着前所未有的机遇，也面临着非同寻常的挑战。为了更好地适应不断变化的世界，联合国需要继续进行改革，进一步提高效能。世界和平和发展需要联合国，而联合国的成功有赖于各成员国的支持与合作。中国愿同广大成员国一道，履行联合国宪章的义务，为加强联合国在世界事务中的作用做出自己的努力。

Like the entire international community, the United Nations is faced with unprecedented opportunities and extraordinary challenges.In order to better adapt to an ever-changing world, the United Nations needs to continue our reform and futher improve its efficiency.World peace and development needs the United Nations while the success of the U.N.depends on the support and cooperation of all its member states.Together with many other U.N.member states, China is ready to fulfill the duties prescribed in the U.N.Charter and to contribute its share to a strengthened role of this organization in the world affairs.Unit13 The speed of in the knowledge-based economy means that skills depreciate much more rapidly they once did.To compete effectively in this constantly changing environment,workers need to be able to upgrade their skills on a continuing basis.Preparing workers to compete in the knowledeg-based ecomomy requires a new model of education and training,a model of lifelong learning.A lifelong learning framework encompasses learning throughout the life cycle,from early childhood to retirement.It includes formal and informal education and training.Meanahile,educational systems can no longer emphasize task-specific skills but must focus instead on developing learners'decision-making and problem-solving skills and teaching them how to learn on their own and with others.知识经济日新月异的变化意味着技能折旧的速度也比过去快很多。若要在不断变化的环境中有效竞争，工人就需要不断提高自身的技能。要让工人在知识经济中保持竞争力，我们需要一种新的教育和培训模式，也就是终身学习的教育模式。终身学习的教育框架包括了从幼儿阶段直到退休的整个人生的学习过程，它也包括正规的以及非正规的教育和培训。同时，教育体系不能仅仅强调某项具体的技能，而必须重视提高学习者的决策能力和解决问题能力，并且教授他们如何以独立和合作的方式完成学习。Unit 14 Saving money is the first step toward wealth.Putting money away for the future also supports the banking system, as banks need a supply of savings to provide money for loans.Banks and other financial organizations pay interests on savings accounts, but the interest rates are low.Certifications of deposit are another way to save, which have higher interest rates.With a certification of deposit, a person agrees not to withdraw an amount of money for a period of time, and the term could be three months, or it could be several years.Longer terms, and larger amounts, pay higher interest.People can withdraw their money early but at a cost.Another way to save is through a money market fund, which is a kind of mutual fund that invests money from many people.Money market funds pay higher interest than savings accounts, but may not be federally guaranteed like other kinds of savings, and the money is usually placed in short-term government security.储蓄是迈向财富的第一步。把钱放置起来以后再用也支持了银行体系，因为银行需要储蓄的资金来提供贷款。银行和其他金融机构给（活期）储蓄账户支付利息，但是利息很低。定期存款是另一种储蓄方式，利息会高一些。根据定期存款证明，存款人同意在一定期限内不提取一定量的资金，期限可以是三个月，也可以是几年。期限越长，数额越大，利息就越高。提前提取也可以，但会有损失。另外一种储蓄的方式是购买货币市场基金，也就是一种许多人一起投资的共同基金。货币市场基金的利息比储蓄账户高，但是不会像其他形式的储蓄那样得到联邦政府的保证。这些资金通常是用来购买短期政府证券。

Unit 1 P1 China will earn 42.6 billion dollars in foreign exchange revenue with the annual average growth of nearly 8% and it is expected to be ranked third worldwide.1.69 billion tourists will travel in china, representing an average 8% increase annually;the revenue from the domestic tourism will reach 881 billion yuan with an increase of 11% on the average every year;the tourism earnings will total 1.226 trillion yuan ,up 10%, representing 7% of GDP;tourism will create 9.8 million direct and 49 million indirect job opportunities.中国旅游创汇将达426亿元，年均增长8%左右，有望居世界第三位；国内旅游人数16.9亿人次，年均增长8%；国内旅游收入8810亿元，年均增长11%左右，旅游业总收入12260亿元，年均增长10%左右，相当于全国国内生产总值的7%；旅游带动直接就业980万人，间接就业4900万人。

P2 The eleventh five-year plan is a crucial strategic period for upgrading china’s tourism which will be faced with new opportunities and challenges.The tourism industry is continuously raising its status in the national economy.Currently, 24 provincial-cities have promoted tourism as their pillar, pioneering or crucial industry with the further optimization of the macro-environment of tourism.Accompanied by the progress of the development of the well-of society, the per capita GDP in china will jump from 1000 dollars to 3000 dollars, thus leading to a dramatically increased demand for tourism consumption.This constitutes the paramount driving force behind the sustainable bloom in china’s tourism.“十一五”是中国旅游业发展的重要战略提升期，面临着心得发展机遇和挑战。目前旅游业在国民经济中的地位不断提升，目前全国有24个省区市把旅游业定位为支柱产业、先导产业或重要产业，旅游业发展的宏观环境将进一步得到优化。随着全面建设小康社会的推进，中国人均生产总值将由1000美元向3000美元跨越，旅游消费需求将大幅度提升。这是中国旅游业持续兴旺的重要动力。

P3 随着旅游业综合功能的进一步加强，在扩大内需、拉动投资、带动脱贫，促进区域经济发展和城镇化建设等方面也将发挥更为积极的作用。“十一五”期间，中国将促进旅游产业体系建设，全面提升旅游产业素质，综合发挥旅游产业功能，把旅游业培养成为国民经济的重要产业。为建设世界旅游强国夯实基础，为全面建设小康社会，构建和谐社会作出积极贡献。

While seeing its strengthened comprehensive functions, tourism industry has a further active role to play in expanding domestic demand, attracting investment, helping shake off the poverty and giving impetus to regional economic development and urbanization development, etc.In the run of the eleventh Five-year Plan, China will push forward the development of the tourism industry system, improve the comprehensive tourism quality and give full play to tourism industrial function.In this way, tourism can become an important industry in the national economy, which lays a solid foundation for developing a world tourism power and contributes a great deal to creating a well-off and harmonious society.P4 徐霞客使中国明代伟大的地理学家，探险旅行家和游记文学家。他探人所未知，达人所未达，写下了不朽的《徐霞客游记》，被誉为东方的“马可波罗”，其传奇生涯对中国旅游产生了巨大影响。由中华人民共和国国家旅游局和江苏省人民政府主办“中国徐霞客国际旅游节”于2006年5月19日至5月26日在徐霞客故里中国无锡举行。

Xuxiake, the great geographer, explorer and writer in the Ming Dynasty of China, spent his life in travelling and discovering the vast land of china with the spirit of “traveling without boundaries” and finally accomplished the immortal masterpiece, the Xuxiake travelogue.Acknowledged as the “Marco Polo” in the east, his legendary life have left great influence on china’s tourism.“The China Xuxiake international tourism festival “was held in Wuxi, the hometown of Xuxiake, from may 19 to may 26,2006.This festival was co-hosted by the national tourism administration of People’s Republic of china and Jiangsu people’s government.Unit 2 P1 There are a large number of different service companies involved in the convention and exhibition industry including stand constructors, insurance companies, freight forwarders, travel agents, and hotels.However, the central role played by event organizers in bring together all these services makes them the most important industry service providers.In general the larger international organizations have a wide variety of shows whereas the smaller organizers tend to specialize in organizing similar shows in different locations.This enables them to leverage more business from exhibitors and establish themselves as experts in the field.会展业务中有很多不同的服务公司，如展位搭建商、保险公司、货代、旅行社以及酒店等。但是由于展会组织者扮演着将各种服务提供商聚集在一起的角色，因而展会组织者是展会业务中最重要的服务提供商。总的来说，大的组展商会组织一系列不同主题的展会，而小的展会组织者则趋向于在不同的地方组织类似的展会。这样使得他们能从参展商中获得更多的业务，并建立其特定的行业专家地位。

P2 The growth of the internet as a learning and information resource completely changes everything the exhibition industry has had before.Customers no longer rely upon exhibitions to determine what their options may be.They can gather information independently from us, often information of quality and depth that is better than anything we could ever hope to deliver.This means that we must create unique and valuable information resources about the industry that our events serve.We must truly understand what is important to our customers.We must assist our customers by pointing them in many different directions to gather the information that they want and need.因特网作为学习和信息资源的发展彻底改变了展会业以前的面貌。客户不再依赖展会来决定他们的选择。他们可以独立的从我们这儿得到信息，并且所获得信息的质量和深度比我们想象的还要好得多。这意味着我们必须能够提供展会所服务行业的独特并富有价值的信息。我们必须了解对客户来说哪些是真正重要的东西。我们必须向我们的顾客指出获取有用信息的不同的方式。

P3 香港是亚太地区重要的会展中心城市，一直以来也在发挥着内地与海外经贸联系的桥梁作用，每年举办的专业展览会80多项，吸引参展企业2万家，举办大型会议420多个，吸引来自世界各地的与会代表多达3.7万人和世界各地超过330万观众到港。会展业已成为香港的重要支柱产业之一。随着去年年底亚洲博览馆的投入使用，香港的会展业竞争力又有了一个新的提升。

Hong Kong is an important exhibition and conference center in Asia Pacific Region, and always plays as the bridge for economic and trade exchanges between the Mainland and overseas areas.There are more than 80 exhibitions and 420 conventions held every year, attracting more than 20000 exhibitors, 37000 delegates and 3.3million visitors from all over the world.Convention and exhibition industry is one of Hong Kong’s pile industries.Along with the opening of Asia World-Expo in the east of last year, the competitiveness of the conference and exhibition industry of Hong Kong has been upgraded.P4 展览业的国际化是展览业走向成熟的标志，展览会是推动国际贸易和经济技术合作的重要平台，展览业的国际化是展览业发展的必然趋势。国际贸易和经济技术合作的发展需要展览业的国际化，展览业的国际化又助推国际贸易和经济技术合作的发展，两者相互依存，又互相促进。

The internationalization is the symbol of the maturation of the exhibition sector, exhibitions are very important platforms of promoting the international business, and cooperation of economy and technology, the internationalization is the necessary trend of the development of the exhibitions.The development of the international business and the cooperation of economy and technology urges the internationalization of the exhibition sector, in the meanwhile the internationalization of the exhibition sector also promotes the development of the international business and the cooperation of the economy and technology, the two depend on each other and promote each other.Unit3 P1

Many years ago the world may have worried about the rise of China.Now it welcomes this as truly an opportunity for us all.China’s engagement in the world economy is strengthening, as well as the partnership between our two nations.British trade with china has doubled over the last year alone.This growth is faster than that of any other G8 countries.British is also the largest European investor in China.许多年前世界担心中国的腾飞，现在事实上，中国的经济发展对我们所有人来说都是一个机遇。中国再进一步参与全球经济，而我们两国的伙伴关系也进一步加深。中英贸易在过去5年中翻了一番，这一增长在八国集团国家中是增长最快的。英国在中国的投资也居欧洲国家之首。

P2

The cooperation is a natural step for both companies as they both share the same science-based culture as well as a common vision concerning the future of the industry.The benefits are many.For example, it will be able to deliver the full potential of the existing and future products through the joint strength and worldwide presence of the global sales and marketing operation of two companies.本次合作对两家公司而言都是自然的发展步骤，因为双方享有同样的以科技为本的文化，并对本行业发展有着相同的理念。这一举措带来的收益是很大的。例如，通过联合双方在全球范围内的销售和市场营销运作的强势，可以充分挖掘现有和未来产品的潜力。

P3 澳大利亚有着丰富的资源、发达的经济和先进的技术，中国有着众多的人口、巨大的市场和发展潜力，经济互补性很强。建立中澳长期稳定的经贸合作关系，符合两国和两国人民的根本利益。今天，我同霍华德总理进行富有成果的会谈，就发展中澳21世纪互利共赢的经贸合作关系达成广泛共识。我们一致同意扩大在贸易、投资、能源、矿产资源等领域的合作加快中澳自由贸易区的谈判进程，实现互利共赢。

Australia enjoys rich resources, a developed economy and advanced technology, whereas china has a larger population, a huge market and tremendous potential for development.Our economies are highly complementary.A long-term and stable business cooperation between China and Australia serves the fundamental interests of both countries and peoples.Prime minister john Howard and I had fruitful discussions today and we reached broad agreement on developing China-Australia business cooperation for mutual benefit and win-win outcome in the 21st century.We both agreed to expand our cooperation in trade, investment, energy, mining resources and other fields to accelerate the China-Australia FTA negotiations for mutual benefit and common progress.P4 中美经贸合作发展迅速，中国已成为美国第三大贸易伙伴和增长最快的出口市场，美国则是中国第二大贸易合作伙伴和最大外资来源地。中美经贸合作不仅给两国人民带来了巨大的实惠，也促进了世界经济增长。中国大量价廉物美的产品出口到美国，缓解了美国的通胀压力，每年为美国消费者节省近200亿美元。美国的资金、技术和管理经验为中国经济注入了活力。中国很多年轻人打的是摩托罗拉手机，用的是戴尔、康柏笔记本电脑，与朋友相聚在星巴克、麦当劳或肯德基。

With the rapidly growing Sino-U.S.economy cooperation, China has become the third largest trading partner and the fastest-growing export market of the United States, while the U.S.is now China’s second largest trading partner and top source of FDI.Such cooperation has not only delivered enormous tangible benefits to the two peoples but also boosted economic growth across the world.The import by the U.S.of larger amounts of Chinese products of good quality and low prices has alleviated the inflation pressure and saved American consumers nearly U.S.$20 billion every year.American capital, technology and managerial expertise, in turn, have instilled vitality into the Chinese economy.Many young Chinese are making calls with Motorola cell phones, working with Dell or Compaq laptops, and hanging out with friends in Starbucks , McDonald’s or KFC.Unit4 P1 The current global environment is, taken as a whole, as promising as it has been for the last few years.Last year’s growth performance was impressive by any standard.And low inflation globally has provided a significantly improved environment for economic policymaking.But there are clouds on the horizon: continuing geopolitical uncertainly;the global payments imbalances;uncomfortably high energy prices.The old adage is true---it really does make sense to fix the roof while the sun is shining.Longer term stability will only come if governments follow prudent fiscal polices and undertake reforms during good times.总体来说目前的国际环境与过去的几年一样令人乐观。无论用什么标准来看，去年的经济增长都很出色。全球的低通货膨胀率为经济政策的制定显著改善了环境。然而天边也有阴云：地缘政治的不确定性持续不断，全球收支失衡依然存在，高昂的油价令人担忧。古话说得好，未雨绸缪很有必要。只有政府采取谨慎的财政政策并在经济景气的时候进行改革才能获得长期稳定。

P2 Last year was the best year for global GDP growth in decades.Most parts of the world recorded improved growth performance.The prospects for this year remain favorable, although growth is likely to be at a slower, more sustainable pace: it is projected to fall from about 5% to under 4.5% this year.Global trade has also recovered strongly since the downturn in 2001, and continues to be an important engine of growth: it is currently expanding at something close to twice the rate of growth of the world GDP.去年是十几年来全球总值增长最快的一年。世界大部分地区都有进一步增长。今年的前景看来也很乐观，尽管增长速度可能会稍微慢一些，持续性会更强一些。预计今年的增长率会从5%下降到不足4.5%。全球贸易自从2001年低迷时期以后也反弹强劲，并且继续成为增长的重要动力：目前的增长速度几乎是全球国内生产总值的两倍。

P3 亚洲有49个国家和地区，大部分是发展经济体。全球经济化，有利于它们更多地获得资金，尤其是跨国公司的直接投资，加快经济发展和结构调整；有利于他们更好的利用自身优势，开拓国际市场，发展对外经济贸易；有利于他们更快的得到先进技术、管理经验，发挥后发优势，实现技术跨越。

There are 49 countries and regions in Asia, and most of them are developing economies.Economic globalization will benefit them in the following manner: it will facilitate their access to more capital, especially direct investment from multinationals, which will enable them to speed up their economic development and restructuring.It will encourage them acquire and exploit new markets and develop foreign trade and economic cooperation with other countries by giving full play to their advantages.Furthermore, it will enable them to acquire advanced technologies and management expertise more quickly so that they will be able to make better use of their advantages as late starters and attain technological progress by leaps and bounds.P 4 同时也必须看到，经济全球化是一把双刃剑。由于不合理、不公正的国际政治经济秩序没有得到根本改变，经济全球化加剧了各国各地区发展不平衡性。尤其是使南北的发展差距，贫富差距进一步扩大。经济全球化也使发展中国家更容易受到外部经济波动和金融危机的影响。上个世纪90年代末发生的亚洲金融危机，就是亚洲一些国家和地区受到猛烈冲击。

At the same time, it must be noted that economic globalization is a double-edge sword.As the unfair and unreasonable international political and economic order has not been fundamentally changed yet, economic globalization has exacerbated the uneven development among countries and regions and widened, in particular, the gap between the North and the South and between the rich and the poor.It has also made developing countries more vulnerable to the impact of external economic turmoil and financial crisis, as evidenced by the grave impact of the Asian financial crisis of the late 1990s on some Asian countries and regions.Unit 5 Mr.President, Madam Liu, Laura and I are honored to welcome you and your delegation to the White House.It’s a pleasure to have you here, along with our other distinguished guests.In 2008, China will welcome athletes from all over the world as your great nation hosts the summer Olympics.Beijing will showcase China’s transformation and demonstrate China’s commitment to the international institutions that make fair and peaceful competition possible for all nations.Mr.President, I thank you for the constructive and candid conversations we had this morning.I appreciate the opportunity to expand the dialogue between our two great nations.And Mr.President, I’m pleased to offer a toast to you and to your gracious wife, and to the people of China.主席阁下，刘女士，劳拉和我非常荣幸欢迎您和您的代表团来到白宫。非常高兴您还有其他尊贵的朋友能来到白宫。2008年中国举办奥运会，届时来自世界各地的运动员将齐聚中国。北京将向世人展示中国的转变，展示中国致力于建立一个对于所有国家都公正和平的竞争环境的承诺。主席阁下，感谢您今天早上与我进行了坦诚并富有建设性的谈话。我十分珍惜在我们两个伟大国家之间进一步拓宽对话的机会。主席阁下，让我们为您、为您的尊贵的夫人、为中国人民干杯！

P 2 Today, I am delighted to have this opportunity to attend the Annual Meeting of the World Economic Forum, and discuss with distinguished statesman, entrepreneurs and scholars from many countries the prospect of the world economy in the 1990s.Please allow me to extend my greetings to the President to the President of the Annual Meeting and all the ladies and gentlemen present here.My greetings also go to government and people of our host, the Swiss Confederation.我今天十分高兴有机会参加世界经济论坛年会，与来自各国的政治家、企业家和学者们讨论90年代世界经济形势展望，请允许我向大会主席，以及与会的女士们、先生们致意；同时还要向东道主瑞士政府和人民致意。

P3 在这个美好的夜晚，我很高兴同大家在这里相聚，参加2005年北京《财富》全球论坛的开幕式。首先我谨代表中国政府，并以我个人的名义，对各位朋友的到来表示诚挚的欢迎！向论坛主办方美国时代华纳集团表示衷心的祝贺！这次论坛确定以“中国和新的亚洲世纪”为主题，充分表达了大家对中国和亚洲发展前景的关注，表达了大家对中国及亚洲的发展对全球经济增长所发挥的作用的关注。I am very delighted to be with you here to join in the opening ceremony of the 2005 Fortune Global Forum in Beijing on this beautiful evening.To begin with, I’d like to, on behalf of the Chinese government, and also in my personal name, to express my sincere welcome to all of you, and congratulations to the forum sponsor, Time Warner Inc.!The forum, themed “China and the new Asian Century”, shows the
