中国的旅游业
中国是一个地域辽阔,有着数千年悠久历史的国家,有着秀丽的自然风光、众多的名胜古迹和丰富多彩的灿烂文化,旅游资源十分丰富。改革开放以来,中国经济以年平均近10%的速度持续增长,各项事业蓬勃发展,人民生活水平显著提高,为旅游业的兴旺奠定了坚实的基础。中国政治稳定,经济发展,市场繁荣,中国政府坚持对外开放积极发展与世界各国的关系,也为旅游业的发展创造了极为有利的条件。中国政府十分重视旅游业的发展,将旅游业作为第三产业的重点,不断开发旅游资源,改善旅游设施,提高旅游服务质量,促进了国际国内旅游业的快速发转。随着中国人民生活水平的提高,我国到国外旅行的人数也逐年增多,为国际旅游业的发展增添了新的活力。
Tourism in China
China is a multi-ethnic country with a vast territory and a long history covering thousands of years.It boasts of abundant tourist resources, with beautiful natural landscapes, numerous scenic spots and historic sites, and a rich splendid culture.Since the introduction of the reform and opening policy, China’s economy has seen sustained growth at an annual average rate of nearly 10 percent.There has been vigorous development in its various public undertakings and marked improvement in people’s lives.All this has laid a solid foundation for a boom in the tourist sector.China now enjoys political stability, economic development and a prosperous market.The Chinese government sticks to the reform and opening policy and vigorously develops relations with other countries.These have created favorable conditions for the development of the tourism.Chinese government attaches great importance to the development of the tourism and regards tourist as the top priority of its tertiary industry.It has made unremitting efforts to tap its tourist resources, improve its tourist facilities and upgrade its service quality, which have effectively promoted the rapid development of the international and domestic tourism, With the improvement of the living standard of the Chinese people, the number of Chinese traveling abroad has gradually increased with each passing year, injecting new vitality to the development of world tourism.经济发展的越快越好吗? Is more growth really better?近年来,不少人或撰文或著书,已经提出质疑:为经济而发展经济,至少在比较富裕的工业化国家究竟有无必要?诚然,经济增长得越快的确意味着更多的财富,而且大多数人都追求财富,这是毋庸置疑的。“富裕也罢,贫穷也罢,我都经历过。说实话,富裕当然胜过贫穷。”一名知名演员曾这样向采访者坦言。大多数人在整体上对经济似乎也持同样观点。他们认为,健康的经济必须能够生产出大批量的鞋子、食品、汽车和电视机。当某个经济体的这种产出能力不再扩大,人们就认为它遭遇了经济停滞。
A number of writers have raised questions about the desirability of faster economic growth as an end in itself, at least in the wealthier industrialized counties.Yet faster growth does mean more wealth, and to most people the desirability of wealth is beyond question.“I have been rich, I have been poor----and I can tell you ,rich is better,” a noted stage personality is said to have told an interviewer, and most people seem people seem to have the same attitude about the economy as a whole.To those who hold this belief, a healthy economy is one that is capacity of turning out vast quantities of shoes, food, cars, and TV sets.An economy whose capacity to provide all these things is not expanding is said to have succumbed to the disease of stagnation.然而对于一个已经非常富足的社会而言是否有必要再一味追求发展,人们对此的质疑,无疑是有充分说服力的。一味地追求产品数量的增长已经让社会付出了巨大的代价。比如环境污染,交通拥挤,需特殊处理废物的激增,以及由此造成的负面心理及社会影响。人们认为,工业化的出现,已经把以往工匠们给人以享受的创造性工作,变成了流水线上毫无人性的机械化操作。它使街头堆满了垃圾,空气中弥漫着烟雾,食品中残留着有毒农药。问题在于,那些大量的冷冻食品、说话娃娃、收音机和止痛药能否弥补工业化给社会造成的巨大代价。
Yet the desirability of the further economic growth for a society that is already wealthy has been questioned on grounds that undoubtedly have a good deal of validity.It is pointed out that the sheer increase in quantity of products has imposed an enormous cost on society in the form of pollution, crowding, proliferation of wastes that need disposal ,and debilitating psychological and social effects.It is said that industry has transformed the satisfying and creative tasks of the artisan into the mechanical and dehumanizing routine of the assembly line, It has dotted our roadsides with junkyards, filled out air with smoke, and poisoned our food with dangerous chemicals, The question is whether the outpouring of the frozen foods, talking dolls, radios, and headache remedies is worth its high cost to society.As one well-known economist put it.正如一位著名的经济学家所言:西方社会一味地追求经济发展,总体看来,非但没有优化人们的生活,相反有恶化趋势。科技创新也许给人们带来了物质上的满足,但是由于更新换代的速度太快,反而使人们倍感焦虑;通讯方式更加快捷了,人们却更加孤独了;社会流动性增强了,人们反而疲于奔命;汽车更加普及了,人么却更加疏远了,看电视的时间多了,人们的交流的机会少了。结果人们与周围邻居之间从来没有像现在这样陌生。
The continued pursuit of economic growth by Western Societies is more likely on balance to reduce than increase social welfare….Technological innovations may offer to add to men’s material opportunities.But by increasing the risks of their obsolescence it adds also to their anxiety, Swifter means of communications have the paradoxical effect of isolating people;increased mobility has led to more hours commuting;increased automobilization to increased separation;more television to less communication, In consequence, people know less of their neighbors than ever before.几乎所有经济学家都认为这种关注并非杞人忧天,尽管很多人并不认为经济的增长就是罪魁祸首。然而他们一致强调:水和空气污染、噪音、交通拥挤、机械性的工作等问题的确是很严重得现实问题。社会确实没有任何理由不尽一切努力解决好这些问题。
Virtually every economist agrees that these concerns are valid, though many question whether economic growth is their major cause.Nevertheless, they all emphasize that pollution of air and water, noise and congestion ,and the mechanization of the work process are very real and very serious problems.There is every reason for society to undertake programs that grapple with these problems.
第二篇:翻译练习
15级英汉翻译练习1
As far as fashion is concerned, the casual “American” style of wearing Jeans, T-shirts and sports shoes is now common and acceptable in many places.For in the office it is not rare to see someone wearing tight jeans with a long sleeved shirt plus a tie.就时尚而言,穿牛仔裤、t恤和运动鞋的休闲“美国”风格在很多地方都很常见,而且可以接受。因为在办公室,看见有人穿着紧身牛仔裤,配上一件长袖衬衫和领带也不稀奇。
His defense is of cause that is the American style.Cowboy hats, boots and large silver belt buckles are also a common imitation of the dress style of Americans especially those from Taxas and Arizona.Look at the music played in the Nyamirambo bound taxis and you will be amazed at how it matches with the dress style of the passengers.他的辩护理由是美国的风格。牛仔帽、靴子和大银皮带扣也是美国人的着装风格的常见模仿,尤其是那些来自美国和亚利桑那州的人。看看Nyamirambo的出租车上播放的音乐,你会惊奇地发现它与乘客的着装风格相匹配。
Around the world the United States is perhaps best known for its numerous and successful fast food franchises.Such chains, including McDonald’s, Burger King and Kentucky Fried Chicken are known for selling simply, pre-prepared food such as hamburger, French fries(chips), soft drinks, fried chicken, and ice cream.Though undeniably popular, such food, with its emphasis on deep-frying, has been criticized by dietitians in recent decades for being unhealthy and a cause of obesity.It has thus become somewhat of a stereotype to associate American cuisine with obesity and junk food.The whole world now is full of similar eating joints, In Africa many are referred to as take-aways.在世界范围内,美国最出名的可能是其众多的成功的快餐连锁店。这样的连锁店,包括麦当劳、汉堡王和肯塔基炸鸡店,都以简单的、事先准备好的食物如汉堡、薯条(薯条)、软饮、炸鸡和冰淇淋而闻名。虽然不可否认的是,这种食物以油炸食品为主,最近几十年来,由于饮食不健康和肥胖原因,这类食品一直受到营养师的批评。因此,将美国美食与肥胖和垃圾食品联系在一起,已成为一种刻板印象。现在整个世界都有类似的饮食关节,在非洲,许多被称为“外卖”。

第三篇:翻译练习
It might have been the Alpine air, but some of the chief executives and business people in Davos came to the end of the week feeling slightly better than when they had arrived.There was still unease about the state of the eurozone and the global economy’s weakness, but their worst fears had not been reinforced.或许是因为阿尔卑斯山的空气,当齐聚达沃斯的一周临近结束时,一些首席执行官和商界人士的感觉比刚到这里的时候稍好。他们对于欧元区现状和全球经济疲弱仍感不安,不过,他们最大的担心并未加剧。
Europeans took heart from the guardedly upbeat mood among US businesses about domestic growth.Meanwhile, Americans were partly reassured after being told by European policymakers that the most likely outcome for the eurozone was muddling through, rather than collapse.美国企业对于国内经济增长的谨慎乐观情绪,令欧洲人感到振奋。与此同时,当从欧洲决策者的口中得知,欧元区最有可能的结果是勉强维持、而不是解体之后,美国人也稍稍松了口气。The World Economic Forum in Davos also provided exposure to professionals from emerging market growth economies, with both India and Brazil sending large contingents.Although nervousness rather than bullishness about economic recovery was the prevailing mood, there was little despair.What Shumeet Banerji, chief executive of Booz and Co, the management consultancy, described as “Bleak house, year four” felt a little less bleak.达沃斯世界经济论坛(World Economic Forum)也为新兴市场增长经济体的专业人士们提供了出头露面的机会,其中印度和巴西均派出了规模庞大的代表团。尽管对于经济复苏的忧虑(而非乐观)成为人们的主流情绪,但没有什么人感到绝望。管理咨询公司Booz and Co的首席执行官舒米特?班纳吉(Shumeet Banerji)口中的“荒凉之屋的第四个年头”,感觉上已不再那般荒凉。
The exception was the banking industry, which still faces deep troubles and a raft of regulations and capital standards.Some bankers have become heartily sick of being criticised, a mood that sometimes erupted in anger.When Lord Mandelson, a former UK minister, blamed the financial crisis on banks at one meeting, some in the audience hissed.银行业是一个例外,该行业仍面临着深层次的麻烦,以及大批的监管法规和资本标准。一些银行家对于遭受批评已是极度厌烦,这种情绪有时会演变成愤怒爆发出来。当英国前内阁大臣曼德尔森勋爵(Lord Mandelson)在一次会议上将金融危机归咎于银行时,招致了在座一些银行家的嘘声。
Business leaders also talked of nagging fears of an unpredictable new shock from the eurozone, the Middle East or China.A survey by PwC, the accountancy firm, found that business confidence had fallen sharply over the past year.“Many companies are nervous,” said Dennis Nally, PwC chairman.商界领袖们还谈到了来自于欧元区、中东或是中国的无法预测的新冲击,由此引发的担忧令人倍感不安。会计师事务所普华永道(PwC)的一项调查显示,过去一年中,企业信心大幅下滑。该公司董事长戴瑞礼(Dennis Nally)指出,“许多公司都感到紧张不安。”
Chief executives and policymakers were worried by the jobs crisis, particularly among young people.There were several discussions on how, if possible, to make advanced economies generate more jobs at a time of anaemic growth – and income disparity and social inequality produced by technological change and globalisation.首席执行官和决策者们则对就业危机、尤其是青年人群的就业危机感到忧心忡忡。如果可能的话,怎样才能在增长乏力的情况下,让发达经济体创造出更多的就业岗位?围绕这一问题,与会者展开了多次讨论。同样列为讨论内容的还有,由于技术变革和全球化造成的贫富分化及社会不公问题。
Many companies stressed their own operations were continuing to perform well – particularly when they have links to the boom in emerging markets.“When I went into sessions on Europe I came out feeling depressed,” said the head of one US bank.“But if you listen to Brazilians or Indians, you feel completely different.”许多公司都强调,其自身业务继续保持着良好的势头——尤其是当业务涉及繁荣发展的新兴市场时。一家美国银行的负责人谈到,“当我听取欧洲的业绩汇报时,感觉十分沮丧。而听到巴西人或是印度人汇报时,感觉则完全不同。” This prompted a renewed push on trade.The US Chamber of Commerce tried to use the forum to table a transatlantic trade pact that would reduce tariffs on goods.“People know we need to create growth, so all of a sudden there seems to be a groundswell behind this,” Tom Donohue, president of the chamber, said.这为贸易提供了新的推动力。美国商会(US Chamber of Commerce)试图利用此次论坛,提出一项跨大西洋、旨在削减商品关税的贸易协定草案。“人们知道我们必需创造增长,于是突然之间,我们似乎得到了山呼海啸般的舆情支持,”美国商会主席汤姆?多诺霍(Tom Donohue)表示。
At the same time there was a wider recognition that the traditional Davos agenda focusing on the benefits of globalisation and trade had a social cost.While it has been good for highly educated and mobile executives, many of whom throng to the forum, the west’s unskilled workers have suffered.与此同时,人们还形成了一种更为广泛的认识:达沃斯的议事日程通常将重点放在全球化及贸易所带来的好处上,而这产生了一定的社会成本。虽然这有利于接受过良好教育、且来去自由的管理人士(他们当中的许多人都来到了达沃斯),但那些技能低下的西方工人却遭受了打击。
Multinational companies said they faced pressure from investors and their employees to demonstrate a social purpose, rather than just maximising profits.“We can’t treat [corporate social responsibility] as separated from everything else – it is now core to what we do,” said Keith Weed, chief marketing officer of Unilever.跨国公司表示,它们面临着来自于投资者和员工的压力,要求公司彰显社会价值,而不仅仅是将利润最大化。“我们不能将企业社会责任与其他问题分离开来——如今它是企业运转的核心,”联合利华(Unilever)首席营销官基思?威德(Keith Weed)表示。
Not everyone agreed with a shift in approach.“Generally, companies are poor instruments of social policy and should stay away from that,” said Mr Banerji.“Good companies raise capital from markets, allocate it to projects and make profits along the way.If they did that well, there would be no problems.”并不是所有人都认同这种态度上的转变。“通常来说,企业是糟糕的社会政策工具,它们应该远离这一领域。”班纳吉说道,“优秀的企业是从市场获得资金,然后将资金配置到各个项目上,并从中赚取利润。如果它们把这些都做好了,就不会有问题。” The question is whether the economies of western countries will be stable and vibrant enough to encourage companies to do so – and to create jobs.问题在于,西方国家的经济是否具备足够的稳定性和活力,以刺激企业这样做——同时还要创造出就业机会。
George Soros, the philanthropist and former hedge fund manager, was gloomy about Europe’s chances, predicting a “vicious cycle” of deflation unless Germany acted to stimulate the eurozone.慈善家、曾担任对冲基金经理的乔治?索罗斯(George Soros)对欧洲的前景感到悲观。他预言,除非德国采取行动救助欧元区,否则欧元区将陷入通缩的“恶性循环”。
There were plenty of concerns in Davos about the economic outlook, yet, for many of those in business, things could have been worse.The times are difficult, but not entirely bleak.在达沃斯,人们对于经济前景的担忧不胜枚举。然而,对与许多商界人士而言,事情原本可能会更糟。世事艰难,但前景并非一片黯淡。

在第二十二届万国邮政联盟大会开幕式上江泽民主席的致辞
各位嘉宾,女士们、先生们:
初秋时节的北京,万木葱茏,金风送爽。今天,第二十二届万国邮政联盟大会将在这里隆重开幕。这是万国邮政联盟成立一百二十五年和中国加入万国邮政联盟八十五年来,首次在中国举行这样的大会。我代表中国政府和中国人民,并以我个人的名义,向大会致以衷心的祝贺!向与会的各国代表和来宾表示诚挚的欢迎!
ご来賓の皆様:
初秋の時に、北京には樹木がこんもりと茂っている、風が涼しい。第二十二回万国郵政連合大会はこちらに盛大に開幕している。万国郵政連合大会が創立する百二十五年、及び中国が万国郵便連合大会に加入する八十五年以来、これは初めて中国にあんな大会を開催することです。中国政府と人民を代表いたしまして、且つまた私個人といたまして、大会に心からのご祝福をお送りいたします。
人类即将迈入新的世纪。在这样的时刻,大家共同讨论面向二十一世纪邮政发展的战略和行动纲领,其意义十分重要。我相信,这次大会将在国际邮政史上留下光荣的一页。
人類は間もなく新しい世紀を入っている。あんなときに、皆様は共同して二十一世紀に向かいて郵政発展についての戦略や行動綱領を討論する意味は非常に重要です。今回の大会は国際郵政歴史上で光栄の1ペッじを与えます。
现代科学技术正在突飞猛进,世界多极化和经济全球化的趋势继续发展,人类社会的进步正处在重要历史关头。各国都面临着机遇和挑战。和平与发展仍然是我们这个时代的潮流。实现世界的持久和平与普遍繁荣,需要各国人民共同努力。邮政应成为致力于世界和平与发展的崇高事业的一支重要力量,在推动建立公正合理的国际新秩序中发挥积极的作用。
現代科学技術がめざましく進歩しているし、世界の多極化と経済のグローバル化の趨勢は続けて発展していて、人類社会の歩みは大事な歴史の瀬戸際にいます。各国は機会と挑戦に直面している。平和と発展はやはりこの時代の流れ。世界的な恒久平和と普遍繁栄を実現ことは各国人民が共同して努力するのは必要があります。郵政は世界平和と発展ために努力する崇高な事業の一つ重要な力量で、公正で合理的な国際新秩序の建設を推進する中で、積極的な作用を発揮します。
邮政活动深入千家万户,通达五洲四海,对促进人类社会的政治、经济、科技、文化、教育等事业的发展,具有重要的作用。日新月异的现代信息技术,给国际邮政事业的发展 注入了新的活力。邮政的信息传递、物品运送、资金流通三项基本功能,其内涵正在日益丰富和拓宽。邮政事业有着广阔的发展前景。
郵政活動は深く家という家に入って、全世界に達して、人類社会の政治や経済や科学技術や文化や教育等事業の発展を促進する重要な作用を持っています。日進月歩の現代通信技術は国際郵政事業の発展に新しい活力を与えます。郵政の情報伝達、物品運送、資金流通三つ基本的な機能は内容が豊富にし、広げる一方です。郵政事業は洋々たる前途があります。
邮政事业要适应当今经济发展和社会进步的新形势,发挥更大的作用,必须进行体制改革和技术创新。各国的经济发展水平、历史文化传统和社会制度不同,邮政发展水平也不同,进行改革不可能有一种统一的模式。各国应根据本国的实际情况,本着有利于满足社会需求,促进社会进步、实现普遍服务的目的,积极进行改革的探索和实践。
郵政事業は今の経済発展と社会進歩の新形勢に適応すべき、もっと大き作用を発揮して、体制改革と技術革新をおこなわなければならない。各国の経済発展水準や歴史文化伝統や社会制度などが異なるので、郵政発展水準も異なって、改革を統一させることは無理です。各国は本国の実態にそくして、有利に社会需要を満足するし、社会進歩を推進するし、普遍的なサービスを実現する目標による、積極的に改革の探索と実践を行います。
中国政府历来重视邮政事业的建设。经过新中国成立五十年特别是改革开放二十年来的锐意进取,中国邮政事业有了长足发展。一个沟通城乡、覆盖全国、联通世界的邮政体系已经形成,并正在向现代化迈进。中国实行了全行业的邮电分营。中国邮政已成为国民经济体系中独立运营的一个部门。具有悠久历史的中国邮政焕发着勃勃生机。我们将继续推进中国邮政的现代化建设,使它能够更好地为中国人民和世界人民服务。
中国政府は一貫して郵政事業の建設を重視しています。新中国が成り立つ五十年に経て、特に改革開放二十年以来、中国郵政事業が著しい発展を遂げています。都市と農村に結び、全国を覆って、世界が通じる郵政体系もう形成し、現代化に向かって邁進しています。全業界で郵便が電信と別れて経営をします。中国郵政はもう国民経済体系の中に独立して運営する一つ部門になります。
发展国际邮政事业,应坚持平等协商、求同存异、相互支持、互利合作,这样才能共谋发展,共求繁荣。积极帮助发展中国家克服邮政建设中面临的困难,努力缩小发展中国家与发达国家在邮政领域的差距,应成为国际邮政合作的当务之急。中国政府愿意在相互尊重、平等互利的基础上,加强与万国邮政联盟各成员国在邮政领域的交流与合作,为促进邮政领域高新技术的开发和应用,促进国际邮政事业的发展作出自己应有的贡献。
最后,预祝大会取得圆满成功。祝各位在北京度过愉快的时光。现在,我宣布:第二十二届万国邮政联盟大会开幕!谢谢。
国際郵政事業を発展するために、平等協議、共通点の求め、支え合い、互恵協力など原則を堅持すべき、共同して発展と繁栄に達する。発展中国家が郵政建設中に困難を克服することを積極的に援助し、郵政領域に発展中国家と発達国家の距離を縮小することに努力します。これは国際協力に目下の急務になります。お互いに尊重し、平等互恵の基礎上で、中国政府は万国郵政連合大会加盟国と郵政領域に交流と協力を強めて、ハイテクを開発と応用し、国際郵政事業発展を促進することために、力を捧げたいと思っています。
最後、大会は円満に成功し、皆方の北京ご滞在中、愉快にお過ごしになられますようお祈り申し上げます。
現在、わたしは宣言をさせていただき、第二十二回万国郵政連合大会がお開幕になります。
ありがとうございます。
