第二篇（英汉）GDP should not be the focus of development(原题来自中国日报)

The constant scrutiny by Wall Street and policy makers of countries' GDP growth can distort development incentives and result in disastrous unintended consequences.Clearly, for a country to prosper, sufficient economic activity must be generated in order to employ greater numbers of people and to improve the overall standard of living for society.However, GDP was developed as a measure decades ago, and it has many shortcomings that can make it a poor measure of quality of life.Instead, economists and policy makers should focus on other indicators and develop new models for measuring a country's development progress which is possible with today's technology and big data.GDP is the sum of all the financial transactions for products and services within a country's borders.The first problem with this measure is that with many companies operating in multiple countries, the profits that accrue do not necessarily stay within a country's borders.In fact, arguably a majority of the profits of multinational firms flows back to the country of origin so that even if China's consumers spend a great deal in China, a large percentage of those profits will not accrue to anyone in China but to foreigners instead.For instance, Nike may hire Chinese workers to produce its shoes, have stores in China to sell its products, and only Chinese people buy from those stores.In essence, 90 percent of the economic activity happens in China and gets recorded in China's GDP.However, the majority of the profits of Nike goes back to the owners in the United States even if none of the economic activity happens in the United States.The national wealth measure is distorted because it would seem that China is getting richer and the United States is getting poorer when the exact opposite is true.Secondly, GDP does not show distribution of income.A company that creates a lot of income from production does not show how that income is being distributed.We know that the majority of profits accrue to very few individuals and that the income inequality is wide in China.A focus on GDP can make matters worse since it can encourage more production by certain wealthy individuals who do not share their profits generously with their employees which will hinder healthy economic development.Another problem with GDP as a measure for economic progress is that it only captures financial transactions.When a parent takes his kid to watch a movie in a movie theater, that activity is captured in GDP.But when a parent takes the same kid to play soccer in a park, that activity is not captured in GDP.However, one can argue that going to the park to play soccer creates a better quality of life than going to the movies.The reasons are manifold: The parent can interact with the kid more directly;the kid gets more exercise;the parent and kid get fresh air;the parent and kid

can make more friends playing soccer, etc.Thus, if the focus becomes overwhelmingly on GDP growth, policy makers would have more incentives to create more movie theaters than public parks and the quality of life for that society can go down as a result.Of course, policy makers need to create the conditions for job growth and wealth accumulation in order for a society to raise its standard of living, and GDP growth can serve as a rough measuring stick.After all, what good is a public park if people are too poor to feed their kids? Movie theaters employ more people.This argument is certainly attractive except that the argument creates a false dichotomy.Policy makers don't have a choice simply between parks and movie theaters.There are actually infinite combinations of how policy makers can help foster more jobs and also improve the quality of life even if the GDP is not growing as fast.For example, a city can build a park in which it hires people to keep the park clean.It can also have concession stands so that people can buy snacks at the park.It can have a stage where different groups perform in the park and charge admission.It can have a beautiful garden that attracts many tourists who will be willing to pay admission to see it.The park can raise the rents and prices of surrounding office buildings and homes.All these benefits will come and raise the quality of life for the residents in the area, but the GDP will be sacrificed in the short run because these revenue streams and job growth will happen over a longer period of time than the building of a large movie theater.The worst part about focusing on GDP is that it can actually create the conditions for a worse quality of life.The pollution that causes cancers, food poisoning, or birth defects actually adds to GDP growth because whenever people seek medical help and incur medical bills to pay for all these ailments, GDP grows.On the other hand, GDP doesn't grow if people remain healthy and don't seek medical help.Obviously, it is much better to have a healthier, cleaner society, but that can be at odds with creating higher GDP growth.In summary, GDP can be used as a guidepost, but it should be considered alongside other factors and indicators that are important to developing a strong and desirable nation.Other measurements that should be allotted more room include the gross national product that allocates production based on ownership as opposed to location, the happiness index which measures satisfaction with life, median income rather than average income, air quality index, pollution index, and life expectancy.Furthermore, with the rise of big data, it is now possible to come up with algorithms that can further capture other nuances associated with a healthy economy.GDP has been relied upon because it is fast and easy to gather that data and make simple comparisons across countries.But because of its many shortcomings, policy makers would achieve their development goals faster if they used other metrics to measure their progress.第三篇（汉英）孔子学院的建立(待更新)

目前已覆盖五大洲的120个国家和地区，孔子学院440所，孔子课堂646个，总数超过1000个。孔子学院从无到有，从小到大，办学规模不断扩大，办学质量日益提高，为满足各国民众学习汉语的需要，增进中外人民之间的了解和友谊作出了重要贡献。

中美两国人民了解和学习对方的语言文化，有助于增进中美两国人民相互了解和友谊，推动中美关系发展。希望中美双方有关机构密切合作，切实办好贵校的孔子学院，为推动中美教育文化交流、促进中美关系发展作出积极贡献。

第四篇（汉英）信息与网络安全(原题来自新华网)http://news.xinhuanet.com/world/2011-10/21/c_122181867.htm

信息和网络空间安全是当前国际社会面临的重大非传统安全挑战，如何应对已成为国际安全的重要内容和多边军控外交的重大课题。他呼吁国际社会携手构建和平、安全、公正的信息和网络空间。信息网络技术的飞速发展和广泛应用，极大推动了当代经济社会发展和人类文明进步，并正深刻改变着人们的生活和社会运行方式。信息和网络系统已成为国家的重要关键基础设施。

信息网络互联互通的特性及信息和网络空间潜在的多元风险和威胁来源，使各国在享受信息网络便利的同时，增加了安全上的脆弱性。他指出，近年来，中国除了自身信息和网络系统的脆弱性外，遭受来自境外的各种网络攻击日益突出，给中国带来巨大损失。在此方面，中国已成为世界上的主要受害国之一。他说：“我们深深地体会到，信息网络彼此相联，使得各国更加成为安危与共、谁也离不开谁的‘命运共同体’。维护信息和网络空间安全不仅是维护一国的安全，而是维护国际社会的共同安全。

国际社会以“命运共同体”的新视角，同舟共济，共同致力于构建一个和平、安全、公的信息和网络空间，并遵循和平、主权、统筹协调信息自由流动与安全流动、合作及公平发展等五大原则。

国际社会应积极开展预防性外交，推动信息网络技术用于促进社会经济发展和人类福祉，维护国际和平、稳定与安全。他呼吁各国承诺不利用信息网络技术实施敌对行动，制造对国际和平和安全的威胁；不扩散信息和网络武器及相关技术。他说，各国有权利和责任根据其相关法律法规保护其信息和网络空间及关键信息基础设施，使之免遭威胁、干扰、攻击和破坏，并应努力避免信息和网络空间成为新战场，防止信息和网络空间军备竞赛；通过对话方式和平解决有关争端。

主权国家是有效实施国际信息和网络空间治理的主体。各国应在信息和网络空间采取负责任和建设性的行动，加强有效管理，多管齐下，努力建立起完善法律规范、行业自律、安全保障和社会教育等方面相结合的综合管理体系，还应避免信息网络成为干涉别国内政的新工具。

各国应充分尊重各利益攸关方在信息和网络空间的权利和自由，同时遵循法治的原则，以有效维护信息和网络空间的秩序。他还说，信息和网络空间需要各国同舟共济，通过进一步加强国际交流与合作共同应对。他呼吁发达国家帮助广大发展中国家提高信息网络能力和技术，弥合数字鸿沟，真正实现公平和普遍发展。

如何解决大城市的交通拥堵问题。

英译汉第一篇：美国的旅游和交通

口译教程上有一篇很相似的内容，在课堂上也讲解过。

英译汉第二篇：领导者和人民的关系

这是以往不太出现的内容，值得之后的考生特别关注。

汉译英第一篇：上海菜

口译教程上有相似话题的内容，课堂讲义里也有类似关于饮食的练习。

汉译英第二篇：08年抗震救灾和北京奥运

抗震救灾话题与事实相结合，口译考试从来不拒绝热点。北京奥运在课堂讲义里有相关专题，真题也进行过练习。希望大家有好的发挥。

11月14日下午的中口口语话题：

The high-speed rail in china。又是当前的热点话题。还没考的童鞋们关注了啊。

英译汉第一篇：car rental services in USA

此篇出自中级口译教程 4-1行在美国。在课堂上练习过，也作为回家作业做过。说的是去美国旅行的一些建议：不要买车而是租车。因为美国是世界上租车业最发达的国家。有美国的两大汽车巨头在各机场设有办公楼，其他地方城市其他的美国租车公司有设办事处。

英译汉第二篇：economic recovery

主要说最近经济复苏，亚洲遥遥领先远超过欧洲的恢复速度，特别是中国和印度更是复苏的领头羊。美国的经济有望借复苏的势头来年恢复经济，但还存在一些潜在的风险。

汉译英第一篇：京河高科技园区简介

此篇出自中级口译教程 2-4 参观访问。其中涉及到“走马观花”这样的四字格，“背靠渤海”这样地理方位的描述。虽然在课堂上作为回家作业让同学做过，但没有充分准备的话，依然会觉得难度较大。汉译英第二篇：上海世博会

上下午的考题一对比，大家读出些什么讯息了么？上午和下午都统一考到了美国交通和旅行的状况。记得五月份的某一次二阶段考试，上下午都考到了中国传统文化的内容。也许是巧合，但每一次巧合背后会有一定的道理。正在备战的聪明的你们，知道怎么做了？

11月21日中级口译口试

英译汉第一篇：商务洽谈此篇出自中级口译教程 3-3 合资企业。

英译汉第二篇：志愿者活动看来命题者深受“小白菜”们的影响。

汉译英第一篇：来沪工作

此篇出自中级口译教程 3-1 欢迎光临。涉及reception and ceremonial speech的内容。汉译英第二篇：中日关系紧跟时事的节拍，值得后面的考生注意。

11月28日上午的口语题：

Competition: a good thing or a bad thing?

英译汉第一篇： the differences in work ethics between the Chinese and Americans.改编自《中级口译教程》3-4 文化差异

英译汉第二篇：knowledge-based economy

难度较大。讲的是知识经济时代，要求年轻人有长远的眼光，开放的头脑，善于发挥自己的潜力。知识经济的特点之一是创新。创新不仅意味着创造知识，而且要运用这些知识。

汉译英第一篇：吸引外资

改编自《中级口译教程》2-4 参观访问。在课堂讲义的第一单元后面作为回家作业要求大家完成的。汉译英第二篇：世博与旅游

主要内容说世博和旅游历来是相互结合，相互促进的。成功举办世博会是党和人民赋予旅游业的历史使命和光荣任务。世博近期还是热点话题。上几周的考试也考过。

11月28日下午口试：

先给了一段文章，大意是 One Foundation Report from Beijing Normal University on philanthropy and charitable course in China.话题是 Should there be a minimum for billionaires’ donations?英译汉第一篇：entrepreneurial culture

整段难度非常大。很多同学一上来都懵了。其实此段改编自《中级口译教程》13-1 企业文化。英译汉第二篇：global food crisis

现在全球粮食危机严重，超乎我们的想象。商品价格飙涨，粮食价格高。贫困人群尤其是儿童营养状况堪忧。整段难度不大，但同学收到上一段的打击，加之这段三个数字的口译，总体不太理想。

汉译英第一篇：如何教育青少年

典型的青少年教育话题，难度一般。一方面父母期望过高，另一方面网络科技的发展容易引发青少年犯罪问题。青少年的健康成长需要家庭、学校和全社会的共同努力。

汉译英第二篇：中美合作关系

典型的双边关系话题，套句很多。经过训练的同学一定能顺利通过。主要讲中美两国是具有影响力的国家。两国有广泛的共同利益和合作基础。两国的建设性合作关系符合两国人民的根本利益，有利于世界的和平、稳定和发展。

总体感受：

口语部分虽不是最关键的，但良好的intonation以及流利度会给考官极好的印象。后面的口译打分自然就会有偏向，也许不及格的句子会偏向及格。

得教程者得天下。尤其是英译汉第一段基本都来自教程。而顺利拿到英译汉第一段是对士气的很大鼓舞。把讲过的内容记熟且流畅地表达出来就已经很好了。进考场前问问自己是不是已经把笔记的重要词组都口头过了一遍。

时事需关注，出题有时候有滞后效应。比如世博还是考了。上几周还考到08奥运和抗震救灾。关注时事，同时善于思考，多开口讨论。

queueing up anonymously at a supermarket.And the proprietor knows well that persona1 service has a substantial cash value.His Prices may be a bit higher than those in the town, bu he will deliver anything at any time.His assistants think nothing of bicycling down the village street in their lunch hour to take a piece of cheese to an old age pensioner who sent her order by word of mouth with a friend who happened to be passing.The more affluent customers telephone their shopping lists and the goods are on their doorsteps within an hour.They have only to hint at a fancy for some commodity outside the usual stock and the grocer a red-faced figure, instantly obtains it for them..The village gains from this sort of enterprise, of course.But I also find it satisfactory because a village shop offers one of the few ways in which a modest individualist can still get along in the world without attaching himself to the big battalions of industry or commerce.Most of the village shopkeepers I know, at any rate, are decidedly individualist in their ways.For example, our shoemaker is a formidable figure: a thick-set, irritable man whom children treat with marked respect, knowing that an ill-judged word can provoke an angry eruption at any time.He stares with contempt at the pairs of cheap, mass-produced shoes taken to him for repair: has it come to this, he seems to be saying, that he, a craftsman, should have to waste his skills upon such trash?

What the law requires when you have an accident There are, firstly the legal formalities of exchanging names and addresses with others involved in an accident and, in certain cases, informing the police.However, you are required by law to stop after an accident only if: l Somebody other than yourself in or outside your car has been injured.2 A vehicle not your own has been damaged.3 Any horse, cow,donkey,sheep, or dog has been injured.It has been said that if a driver continues unaware of causing injury he must be acquitted.But the courts are wary of that excuse.Furthermore, the driver himself must wait at the scene;it is not enough for him to leave his chauffeur or a friend to attend to the boring formalities while he goes off on more important business.If you have been involved in an accident and have stopped, you must give your name, address, and registration number to anyone who has a good reason for requesting it;this means anyone affected by the accident.If these formalities are complied with it is not necessary to wait for the arrival of the police.It is，however, often wise to do so.The police are expert at drawing plans, taking measurements and photographs and gathering other evidence.In your absence the police could be given a biased story against you;and you yourself migh wam to point out certain features of the accident to the police.6.A MOMENT'S INATTENTION CAUSES ACCIDENTS'(para.l)is a self defeating Warning because______.(A)it will make a driver wait at the scene(B)it will distract the driver's attention(C)it is too difficult to understand(D)it is too long to be read by drivers 7.According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?(A)After an accident you have to give your name to anyone who asks for it.(B)Drivers on the Basingstoke by-pass used to ignore the sign.(C)Road construction problems can be a major cause of accidents.(D)A 'black spot' is a part of the road where there are no signs.8.'Subtle visual traps'(para.3)are ______.(A)places where the police hide in order to trap motorists(B)parts of the road which are deceptive to the driver's eye

(C)danger spots such as sharp corners and cross-roads(D)places where there are man road-signs 9.As required by the law, you must stop after an accident, if ______.(A)you have been injured by somebody.(B)your car has been damaged.(C)you have injured somebody else(D)you have witnessed the accident l 0.After an accident it is recommended that you wait for the police because _________.(A)it is against the law to drive off(B)they have to examine your licence and insurance certificate(C)they have to noto the position of your car(D)somebody may give them a false account of the accident Questions 11--15 Just as word oil scarcity is already causing intemational conflicts, so will the scarcity of water reach a point where wars will break out.The statistics on water are already scary.Already well over l billion people suffer from water shortages and 30 countries get more than a third of their water from outside their

borders—an obvious source of disputes and instability especially as the climate changes.The whole of the sub-Saharan Africa, most of South Asia and western South America are most at risk.The reason: the rapid melting of glaciers due to global warning.At the meeting of the coalition of 27 Intemaional charities last month, Gareth Thomas, minister of Intenatonal Development of the British government, wrote to prime minister Gordon Brown demanding action to ensure fresh water to 1.1 billion people with poor supplies.”If we do not act now, the reality is that water supplies may become the subject of international conflict in the years ahead.We need to invest now to prevent us having to pay that price in the future“, Thomas said.The department warned that two-thirds of theword's population will live in water-stressed countries by 2025.The coalition of charities has appealed for a global effort to bring running water to the developing world and supply sanitation to a further 2.6 billion people.It said that international investment is needed now to prevent competition for water to destabilize communities and escalate into conflicts.Tackling the water and sanitation crisis is essential if the Millennium Development Goal Call to Action is to be a success.Otherwise, progress on health, education, and environment sustainability will be undermined.Each year 443 million school days are lost globally to diarrhea and 1.8 million children die from these diseases.In fact, it is often not realized tha investing in sanitation and water brillgs the greatest public health gains, more than any other single development intervention and delivers enormous economic

gains.Already, some Asian countries have put tackling these issues at the forefront of theirdevelopment efforts.The Millennium Development Goals aim to halve the proportion of people without access to safe drinking water by 20l5.To achieve that urgent action needs to be taken.There is no doubt that climate change is potentially the most important factor affecting water shor tage.This, compounded with a growing and increasingly urbanized global population will put pressure on food and water.For a temperature rise of 2°C, which is likely to happen by 2050, there would be a catastrophic 2 to 3 billion people suffering from water stress.11.What does the author think is primarily responsible for water shortages in the world ?(A)Climate chance.(B)Border dispute.(C)World competition.(D)Political instability 12.According to Gareth Thomas, _______ is the price we have to pay for water shortage if we do not take immediate action.(A)sanitation crisis(B)intemational conflict(C)global warming(D)over-urbanization 13.What can the coalition of charities do to prevent competition for water ?(A)Appealing for international investment.(B)Bringing running water to the developing world.(C)Supplying sanitation to billions of water-stressed people.(D)Enhancing world environment sustainability 13.The Millennium Development Goals aim to_______ in the near future.(A)tackle the water and sanitation crisis(B)yield economic gains as well as public health gains(C)mak progress on health, education and environment sustainability(D)provide more people with clean drinking water 15.According to the passage, what will add to water shortage ?(A)Oil scarcity.(B)A drop in temperature(C)A growing population.(D)Reduced food supply Questions 16.-20 Parenting was never a piece of cake in any age, but probably the greatest source of headache for parents today in Japan is the ubiquitous cellphone.Today, 96 percent of senior high school students and 58 percent of junior high school students have cellphones.Even among primary school children, 3l percent have them.By enabling youngsters to stay connected with their parents at all times, these gadgets help to keep children safe.For the kids, they are fun toys, too, that let them text to or chat with their pals whenever they wat, play Intemet games, and enjoy blogging for their own profile and diary purposes.But terrible dangers lurk beneath all that fun and convenience.Every year about l,000 children become involved in rape and other crimes through dating service sites.Violent and obscene images are only a couple of clicks away.On gakkoura saito, or so-called unofficial school websites where kids can post whatever they want, anyone can fall victim to brutal ''verbal mob lynching” by their peers.Amid today's urgent need to address these problems, the government’s Meeting on Education Rebuilding has issued a report.In response to the Prime Minister's recent comments---“I carmot think of one good reason for(letting youngsters)have a cellphone“ and ”I would like everyone to discuss whether cellphones are really necessary:“----the report recommended that ”parents, guardians, schools and all parties concerned should cooperate among themselves, so that elementary school pupils and junior high school students do not have a cellphone unless there is a compelling reason for them to do so.“ But since many parents believe in the necessity of cellphones as a safety tool, it is unrealistic to expect everyone to do away with them.Rather, it would make more sense for guardians, schools and cellphone companies to consider, from their respective standpoints,how cellphones should be used by children.We suggest that parents sit down with their offspring and talk about their “houserules”for cellphone use.For instance, sct the hours allowed, so the kids won't be texting to their friends late into the night, remind them never to give away personal information online, and so on..But there are limits to what individual families can do, and this is where we also suggest that schools should educate their pupils on the dangers of cellphone use.One way to go about this, for instance, may be for each class to set its own rules on sending e-mail messages.16.The word ”ubiquitous“(para.l)is closest in meaning to ________.(A)updated(B)sophisticated(C)prevalent(D)obsolete 17.Many parents let their kids have cellphones because they ________.(A)want their kids to keep up with the IT World(B)can't think of anything better for their kids to have fun(C)don't want their kids to miss 'what other kids have(D)believe cellphones endble them to stay connected 18.Which of the following is NOT the potential risk kids may face when using cellphones?(A)Involvement in rape-related crime

(B)Exposure to violent and obscene images(C)Falling victim to brutal curses.(D)Being tracked down by unofficial school websites.19.The report issued by the government’s Meeting on Education Rebuilding______.(A)recommended minimizing the use of cellphones among kids(B)suggested setting “house rules” for cellphone use

(C)urged parents to remind their children about ce1lphone use(D)pressed schools to educate their pupils on the dangers of cellphone use 20.What is the main idea of the passage?(A)Parents neglect to protect their kids from cellphones.(B)Parenting with cellphones is a source of headache.(C)Cellphones should be banned from campus.(D)Kids need lessons on the uses of cellphones Question 21--25 Extract I

A stylish dining room with cream walls and curtains and black carpet as perfect foil to an eclectic array of furniture.Many of the pieces are classics of their particular era, and demonstrate how old and new designs can be happily mixed together Thc prototype chair in the foreground has yet to prove its staying power and was thought up by the flat's occupant.He is pictured in his living room which has the same decorative theme and is linked to the dining room by a high Medieval-styled archway where was once a redundant and uninspiring fireplace.Extract 2 Old bathrooms often contain a great deal of ugly pipework in need of disguising.This can either be done by boxing in the exposed pipes, or by fitting wood paneling over them.As wood paneling can be secured over almost anyting---including oid ceramic tiles and chipped walls---is an effective way of disguising pipework as well as being an attractive form of decoration.The paneling can be vertical, horizontal or diagonal.An alternative way to approach the problem of exposed pipes is to actually make them a feature of the room by picking the pipework out in bright strong colours.Extract 3 Cooking takes second place in this charming room which, with its deep armchairs, is more of a sitting room than a kitohen, and th6 ntw RaybUm stove as a good choice, as it blends in well with the old brick and beamed fireplace.There are no fitted units or built-in appliances, so all food preparation is done at the big farmbouse table in the foreground;and the china, pots and pans have been deliberately left on show to make an attractive display.What about the kitchen sink? It's hidden away behind an archway which leads into a small scullery.Here there's a second cooker and---in the best farmhouse tradition---a huge walk-in larder for all food storage.2l.Why is the colour of the carpet described in Extract l a particular advantage?(A)It livens up the colour in an otherwise dull room.(B)It provides a contrast to the furniture.(C)It blends in with the tones of the furniture.(D)It gives the room a classical style.22.What is the purpose of the archway described in Extract 1 ?(A)To hide an unattractive fireplace.(B)To give the room an exotic eastem style.(C)To join the dining room with the sitting room(D)To make room for the unusual seating arrangements.23.Extract 2 is probably taken from ________.(A)an architect's blueprint

(B)a plumber’s manual

(C)a home renovation magazine(D)an advertisement for new bathrooms 24.Extracts 2 and 3 deal with _________.(A)old and classic furniture(B)attractive colour schemes(C)cheap improvement schemes(D)home decoration 25.Compared with Extract l the room described in Extract 3 appears to _______.(A)be more comfortable(B)be more colourful(C)contain more furniture(D)posspss a greater variety of style Questions26--30,.Large parts of the world have not enjoyed the remarkale global progress in health conditions that have taken place over the past century.Indeed, millions of deaths in impoverished nations are avoidable with prevention and treatment

options that the rich world already uses.This year, l0 million children will die in low-and middle-income countries.If child death rates were the same as those in developed countries this figuer would be lower than 1 million.Conversely, if child death rates were those of rich countries just 100 years ago, the figure would be 30 million.Today's tools for improving health are so powerful and inexpensive that health conditions could be reasonably good even in poor countries if policy makers spent even relatively little in the right places.Recent research for the Copeghagen Consensus idenifies several highly cost-effective options that would tackle some of the planet's most urgent health problems.The most promising investment is in tuberculosis treatment.Some 90 percent of the l.6 million tuberculosis deaths in 2003 occurred in low-and middle-income countries.Because tuberculosis affects working-age people, it can be a trigger of household poverty.The comerstone of control is prompt treatment using first-line drugs, which doesn't require a sophisticated health system.Spending $l billion on tuberculosis treatment in a year would save l million lives.Because good health accompanies higher levels of national economic welfare in the long run, the economic benefits are worth $30 billion.The second most cost-effective investment is tackling hewt disease.Heart disease migh not seem like a pressing issue for poor nations, but it represents more than a quarter of their death toll.Measures to reduce risk factors other than smoking--high intake or saturated animal fat, obesity, binge drinking of alcohol, physical inactivity , and low fruit and vegetable consumption--have had little success.Treating acute heart attacks with inexpensive drugs is，however, cost-effective.Spending $200 million could avert several hundred thousand deaths, yielding benefits that are 25 times higher than costs.The third option is prevention and treatment of malaria.A billion dollars would expand the provision of insecticide-treated bed-nets and facilitate provision of highly effective treatment.This would save more than a million child deaths and produce economic benefits worth $20 billion.The fourth altermative for policymakers is to focus on child health initiatives.The best measures are familiar ones expanding immunization coverage, promoting breasfeeding, increasing the use of simple and cheap treatments for diarrhea and childhood pneumonia, and so on.Even if the costs of all these initiatives were two or three times higher than we estimate, these efforts would still provide amazing opportunities to reduce health inequality and do good in the world.26.Over the past century, the child death rates hatve _________.(A)climbed steadily in impoverished countries(B)dropped remarkably in developed countries(C)fluctuated wildly in low-incoine countries(D)remained stable in middle-income countries 27.The most effective investment is in the treatment for ________.(A)tuberculosis

(B)heart disease(C)malaria(D)diarrhea 28.All of the following could be the contributing factors to heart disease EXCETP________.(A)heavy smoking(B)binge drinking(C)saturated animal fat intake(D)vegetable consumption 29.According to the author, if $ l billion were invested in the prevention and treatment of heart discase, whih of the following economic benefits would be produced?(A)$20 billion.学口译，做金领！迎战9月口译考试 2009年春季“上海外语口译”笔试查分公告 中高级口译备考必看的历年真题免费下载

Spot dictation

You might think that hamburgers were invented in the United States, but that is not totally true.These round, flat cakes or patties actually came from Germany in the middle of the 19th century.They were brought to the United

States by German immigrants who came from the city of Hamburg.That is why their name was Hamburger Stake.However, people in other places claim that they invented the hamburger.Perhaps we'll never have a clear answer.But there is no question that the hamburger was a great hit.Why? Perhaps because at that time, industry was growing and a kind of fast, practical and cheap food was needed for workers.The hamburger became even more popular in the 1920s when the first chain of fast food restaurants was started.This chain was called ”White Castle“.It served tiny hamburgers that were sold for only 5 cents each.Then, in the 1930s there came the drive-in restaurant where customers were served in their cars by waiters in uniform.And the hamburger was one of the most popular menu items.By now, the hamburger was ready to conquer the world.And this happened with McDonald's, which was actually a hot dog stand at first.But by the early 1950s the hot dog was replaced by the hamburger.McDonald's and other fast food restaurants spring up around the world throughout the rest of the 20th century.McDonald's alone has sold 12 hamburgers for every person in the world.The importance of the hamburger to U.S.culture remains significant.About 60% of all sandwiches that are eaten are hamburgers.According to some sources, 7% of current workers in the Untied States had their first job at McDonald's.But the face of the hamburger is changing according to the times.Nowadays it is possible to buy a chicken burger, a turkey burger, a fish burger or a veggie burger.Statements

Passage one(Q11-14)W：What are you laughing about? M: I just saw the silliest advertisement on TV for German soups.It's said our products are home-made with the freshest vegetables and fruits.Then a scene in the factory showed that products were prepared and packed by the most sophisticated machinery.W: And I am sure that the word NATURAL was put on the jars and cans of the products.I think the stupidest advertisements are those that imply that you are one of a kind.If you buy the product, you will be a very special person.Now you will be just like every other one of the 20 million people who bought it.M: That's really silly.But to me, the dumbest of them all is when advertisers put a celebrity on TV to talk about a particular brand of soap or about a particular car.I bet that the celebrity's never used the product before they got the job of appearing in the commercial.W: Yeah!But most of these commercials work and people remember the product.M: I agree, here we are talking about ads we've seen, aren't we? We are all influenced by those celebrities and brand names.W: I think teenagers are specially vulnerable.Advertisers try to get teenagers used to a brand because they know that in later years, the teenagers will stick to that particular product of theirs.Question 11: What in the advertisement has made the man laugh? Question 12: When some ads imply that you are one of a kind, what does that mean? Question 13: Why does the advertiser put a celebrity on TV to talk about a particular product? Question 14: According to the woman, what will teenagers do if they are used to a brand? Passage two(Q15-18)Many of you may have heard of ”jetlag", which is a condition of sleep disorders resulting from rapid travel over time zones such as on a jet plane.The symptoms of jetlag can be quite varied and may include: loss of appetite, nausea, headache, fatigue, insomnia or even mild depression.Here are few tips for you to avoid jetlag or cope if you are stricken by the condition.First adjust your biological rhythm several days before your departure.And develop a plan

to start switching to the time zone of your destination.For instance, if you will be flying from New York to Paris where it is 6 hours later, get up one hour earlier for a couple of days, then two hours earlier, then three hours earlier.I would try to at least get half way to a new time zone.Turn lights on during daytime in your destination and off during the night time.Second, during the time of your adjustment and especially during the flight, drink plenty of water.If you are not a big water fan, drink some other fluid that is not high in sugar, carbonation or caffeine.Avoid junk food, salty foods, caffeine and alcohol on the plane.Of course I say that, but I always have a couple of drinks during the flight, if you do that, just be sure to drink as much water between drinks as possible.Thirdly, when you arrive in your destination, try to resist the urge to nap during day time, get outside during the daylight hours, even if it's just to sit in a café and relax.Try to get a good night's sleep for the first couple nights.The key is to reset your body's natural clock and to get enough rest.Finally when you return home, use some of the same tactics above to return to your previous time zone.Q15.What's the speaker's definition of jetlag? Q16.What's the difference of the time zones between New York and Paris? Q17.What does the speaker recommend if you do not want to drink much water during the flight? Q18.According to the speaker, what should you try to do once you arrive at the destination? Passage 3(Q19-22)

Passage 4(Q23-26)May I have your attention, ladies and gentlemen? Since the International club meets only once every semester for this special event, the first thing on our agenda is to have the secretary read the minutes of the last meeting.So when I finish this opening speech, the secretary will read the minutes of our meeting for the last semester.And then we'll go through our annual treasurer's report and decide whether it can be accepted or not.At the top of our agenda, and I'm sure in everyone's mind, is the International Display Week.It has been proposed for discussion.I was chairman of the African club, and now as chairman of the International club, I know more than anyone else the importance of such a display week.Let me explain.There are ten foreign clubs here representing the foreign students on our campus.The purpose of these clubs is, first of all, to get the students from the same countries together, so we won't get too homesick, and so we can help each other over the rough spots.And secondly, so that the American students can join the club of their interest and learn about our culture as we learn theirs.Now, about the display.Some of you old hands will have to help me out, as there was so much going on I can't remember at all.Let me see.There are the Scottish folk dance and Irish one, too.We'll team up with the folk music club and recruit anyone who can sew to help make costumes.Of course, each group will set up a booth decorated with pictures and things of interest in their respective countries, and everyone will wear his national costume.Question 23: Who is the man?

Passage 5(Q27-30)F: Paul, nice to see you back from the university.How do you like your new university? I remember your mum had wanted you to go to London University so that you can live at home and walk or cycle to attend the lectures.M: Well, you know I didn't go to London University after all.My new university is on the suburbs of an ancient cathedral city and it is almost 8 miles from the city center.The university is planned on the so called American Campus System.That is to say, students live in halls of residence grouped around the main university buildings.F: You mean you live, eat and study within the university proper? M: Yes, I like it.Because we are a real community.We've got comfortable common rooms and bars.We arrange dances and parties.We've got clubs, theater groups, choirs and so on.And we've got an orchestra.I played the drums in it.By the way, how about your university days, Betty?

F: I rent a house with two other girls in the middle of the city about then minutes walk from the university.The house is falling to pieces.It is damp and there is no proper heating.M: That sounds awful.I couldn't work in a place like yours.The district is poor and could almost be classed as a slum.F: I don't think so.We live among real people who treat us as real people.We've got an electrician living next door, who is always coming in and mending our cooker and electric fires.We could try to get into one of the halls of the residents.But we prefer to be independent.It's nice to belong to the city and to do things outside the university.M: What sort of things do you do outside the university? M: Well, there is a group of us who go and help in a home for handicapped children.And I think in the city bar choir we get on well with the local people, not like you in that suburban district.W: Well, I like history.And my university is one of the best universities for that subject.Besides, it is an ancient city with a lot of historical relics and sightseeing spots.If you can drop by by any chance, I can show you around.F: You bet.27.Where do the man's family live? 28.What is typical of the American Campus System?

平常的经济萧条一旦来临，大家都明确应该马上着手做哪些事情：重新翻开尘封已久的凯恩斯的著作，联邦政府调低利息率，总统和国会开始减税，增加财政支出。用不了多久，市场上购销两旺，生产线生机勃勃，贷款扶摇而上，于是乎，凯恩斯的书又回了书架。不需要对经济体制做重大的改革，要知道我们的经济固然偶尔会有一点磕磕碰碰，从根本上说还是健康的。第二次世界大战以后，每次萧条一来，我们都这样如法炮制。

关于哪个阶层应该减税最多，哪些计划可以得到政府资金援助，共和党人和民主党人一直都争论不休。不过，公众舆论自然会要求他们有所作为，因此他们也往往能找到双方都可接受的中间路线，共同推动一个经济刺激的一揽子计划。就算在今天的华盛顿，两党意见空前分歧，我们依然相信，两党都能接受的计划最终一定会出台。然而这次，我们不能指望事情就能就此了结--因为这一次到来的萧条非比寻常，我们的经济从根本上说也已经不健康。这一

变体版本也要熟悉：

中医是我国的传统医学，起源于6000年前的神农氏时代。中医学在长期的发展过程中，逐渐形成了一套医学原则和观点。中医认为“万物人为贵”。中医师是通过了解人与自然、以及人体各部位之间的种种关系来诊断病人的疾病。

中医有完整的理论体系和临床治疗方法，除了中草药外还有针灸疗法、按摩推拿和气功疗法。中医以其独特的疗效和科学本质赢得了全世界的广泛赞誉。我们在积极发展中医的同时也鼓励中西医结合诊断和治疗疾病。我相信，我国的中医研究前程似锦。

重点摘录：

1.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。

2.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。

3.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。

4.他们也看功夫电影，学习东方时装潮流和手工艺crafts，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。

（此题摘自江总书记于一九九九年十月二十二日在英国剑桥大学的演讲）

Passage 1:

中华民族历来尊重人的尊严和价值。还在遥远的古代，我们的先人就已提出“民为贵”的思想，认为“天生万物，唯人为贵”，社会的发展和进步，取决于人的发展和进步，取决于人的尊严的维护和价值的发挥。今天中国所焕发出来的巨大活力，是中国人民拥有广泛自由、民主的生动写照。

中国确保十三亿多人的生存权和发展权，是对世界人权事业的重大贡献。集体人权与个人人权、经济文化权利与公民政治权利紧密结合和协调发展，这适合中国国情，是中国人权事业发展的必然道路。

(参考答案)

The Chinese nation has always respected human dignity and value.Even in the ancient days, our ancestors came up with the idea of “people being the most important,” believe that “man is the most valuable among all the things that heaven fosters.” The progress and development of a society hinge on human progress and development and depend on how well human dignity is maintained and how much human value is realized.The immense vitality displayed by China today is a vivid reflection of the broad freedoms and democtatic rights enjoyed by the Chinese people.Chins has a population of over 1.3 billion, and to ensure our people the rights to subsistence and development is in itself a major contribution to the progress of the world human rights cause.Collective and individual human rights should be considered together and their coordinated development should be pursued, and the same considerations should be given to the development of economic and cultural rights on the one hand and of civil and political rights on the other.This is dictated by China’s specific national conditions and therefore, is the only way to progress in human rights cause in Chins

On behalf of all the membership of the United Nations, I hereby reaffirm the role of this international organization.When ti was created more than 60 years ago, the United Nations reflected humanity’s greatest hopes for a just and peaceful global community.It still embodies that dream.We remain the only world institution with the legitinacy and scope that derive from global membership, and a mandate that encompasses development, secutiry and human rights as well as the envoronment.I restate that we are an organization without independent military capability, and we dispose of relatively modest resources in the economic realm.Yet our influence and impact on the world is far greater than many believe to be the case, and often more than we ourselves realize.This influence derives not from any exercise of power, but from the force of the values we represent.Among these values are the maintenance of the world order and the establishment of world harmony.（参考答案）

我谨代表联合国所有成员国，在此重申这个国际组织的作用。联合国60多年前成立时，反映了人类建立一个公正和平的国际社会的殷切希望。联合国至尽仍然代表了这个梦想。我们仍然是唯一具有产生于会籍普遍性的合法性和规模，并具有包括发展、安全和人权以及环境在内的使命的全球性机构。

我重申，这是一个没有独立军事能力的组织，在经济领域也只处理相对不多的资源。然而，我们对世界的影响却比许多人所认为的要大得多，而且常常比我们自己所意识到的还要多。这种影响不是产生于权利的行使，而是产生于我们所代表的价值观念的力量。我们的价值观；包括维护国际次序，建立和谐世界。

崔天凯副部长在中美省州长对话开幕式上的致辞 2011年10月19日

Remarks by Vice Foreign Minister Cui Tiankaiat the China-US Governors Dialogue 19 October 2011

尊敬的赵洪祝书记、周强书记和各位中方省长，尊敬的葛瑞格尔州长和各位美国州长，尊敬的李小林会长、霍马茨副国务卿，各位来宾，女士们、先生们：

Respected Secretary Zhao Hongzhu, Secretary Zhou Qiang and Chinese governors，Honorable Governor Gregoire and other US governors，President Li Xiaolin，Under Secretary Robert Hormats，Distinguished Guests，Ladies and Gentlemen，很高兴出席中美省州长对话。首先，我代表外交部和杨洁篪外长对此次对话成功举行表示热烈祝贺。长期以来，中美地方间合作是两国关系的重要基础和推动力量。举办中美省州长对话是今年1月胡锦涛主席访美的重要成果，也是中国外交部和美国国务院鼎力支持的项目。在全国友协、美国全国州长协会共同努力和两国省州积极支持下，首届中美省州长论坛于今年7月在美国盐湖城成功举行，取得令人振奋的丰硕成果。仅时隔3个月，美国州长代表团回访中国，与中方书记、省长们进行新一轮对话。我们为中美地方间合作蓬勃发展、欣欣向荣的局面感到由衷高兴。

I am delighted to attend the China-US Governors Dialogue.Let me begin by extending warm congratulations on the successful opening of the dialogue on behalf of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi.Over the years, subnational cooperation has been an important foundation and driving force of the relations between China and the United States.The launching of the China-US governors dialogue is an important outcome of President Hu's visit to the United States last January and has received full support from the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the US State Department.With the concerted efforts of the Chinese People's Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries and the US National Governors Association and active support from Chinese provinces and US states, the first China-US Governors Forum was successfully held in Salt Lake City in July, producing encouraging and fruitful outcomes.Now, after only three months, the US governors are paying a reciprocal visit to China and joining Chinese provincial leaders for a new round of dialogue.We are really gratified to see such momentum in China-US subnational cooperation.对于中美省州长对话，我有三个期待：

I have three hopes for the China-US Governors Dialogue.希望对话成为中美地方合作的催化剂。中国有34个省级行政区，美国有50个州、1个特区、5个联邦领地和海外领地，都各具特色和优势，彼此间拥有巨大合作潜力。建立省州长论坛是为两国地方间交流合作提供高层次机制化平台的开创性举措，不仅将有力促进两国地方共同繁荣，也将自下而上地推动中美总体关系不断前进。

I hope that the dialogue will become a catalyst for China-US subnational cooperation.China has 34 provincial level administrative divisions.The United States has 50 states, one federal district and five unincorporated territories.Each of them is uniquely positioned with its own advantages and has enormous potential for cooperation with others.The China-US Governors Forum is a creative step that aims at offering a high-level and regular platform for subnational exchanges and cooperation.It will not only promote shared prosperity at the subnational level, but also facilitate the overall China-US relations at the national level.希望对话成为中美经贸关系的推进器。两国地方省州是中美经贸合作的主力军。过去10年，美国有47个州对华出口增幅达到3位数甚至4位数。近年来，中国各省企业对美投资快速增长，为美国经济和就业做出贡献。清洁能源、节能环保、生物医药、基础设施等领域是中美经贸合作新的重要增长点。希望两国地方把握机遇，积极开拓，把互利共赢的中美经贸合作提升到更高水平。

I hope that the dialogue will become a propeller of China-US business ties.Subnational efforts represent a large part of our overall trade and economic cooperation.Forty-seven US states have seen three-and even four-digit growth in their exports to China in the past decade and investment by local Chinese businesses in the United States has grown rapidly and contributed to the US economy and job creation in recent years.Clean energy, energy conservation, environmental protection, biomedicine and infrastructure are the new important growth areas in China-US economic cooperation.I hope that the provinces and states will make the most of these opportunities and take the mutually beneficial economic cooperation between our two countries to an even higher level.希望对话成为中美人民间的友谊桥梁。中美关系的根基在人民，动力源泉也在人民。中美人民友好交往日益密切，每年人员往来超过300万人次，平均每天8000多人往返于太平洋两岸。两国地方高校、媒体、智库、青年、民间团体之间加强文化、教育、艺术、体育等形式多样的交流与合作，将在中美间架起更多友谊与合作的桥梁。希望中美两国地方政府携手合作，为此发挥引领作用。

I hope that the dialogue will become a bridge of friendship between the people of our countries.People represent both the foundation and source of strength for China-US relations.The friendly exchanges between the Chinese and American people have increasingly intensified.Each year, over three million visits are made between China and the United States.Everyday, more than 8,000 people on average travel across the Pacific.Enhanced and diverse exchanges and cooperation between Chinese and American universities, media, think tanks, youths and civil societies in culture, education, art and sports will forge more friendships and partnerships between China and the United States.I hope that the provincial, state and local governments of China and the United States will join hands and lead such exchanges.金秋十月是收获的季节。我谨预祝本次对话圆满成功，取得丰硕成果，为中美关系发展添上浓墨重彩的一笔。

Fall is the season of harvest.I wish the dialogue full success, leaving an indelible imprint on China-US relations.谢谢大家。

Thank you all.Thank you.Thank you so much.Thank you.And it is, as always, such a personal pleasure for me to join this remarkable gathering.And I look out at this audience and there are just too many people here who deserve recognition to name all of you, so let me just express my deep appreciation to all the representatives of foreign governments as well as the leaders and advocates who are here with us and who will be sharing the stage.And of course, I do want to thank someone very special, namely my husband, for organizing this event –(applause)– and instilling it with his very special spirit of activism, innovation, and commitment that is contagious.谢谢大家，谢谢，非常感谢，谢谢。和往常一样，我为能参加这样一个盛会感到十分高兴。环顾一下在场的与会者，你们都应当受到表彰，只是人数太多，恕我不在此一一提名了，因此，就让我向所有外国政府的代表以及将上台发言的与会领导人和倡导人士表达深深的谢意。当然，我要感谢一位非常特殊的人物，也就是我的丈夫，感谢他组织这项活动（掌声）并在这项活动中注入他非常独特的、富有感染力的积极行动、创新和奉献的精神。

Last year at CGI, I spoke about the Obama Administration’s new strategy for international development, which has elevated development alongside diplomacy and defense as the core pillars of American foreign policy.And we are working with our partner countries to help them obtain the tools and capacity that they need to solve their own problems and contribute to solving the world’s shared problems.Our goal is to help people lift themselves, their families, and their societies out of poverty and toward a better life.And this is not development for development’s sake.This work, we believe, advances our own security, prosperity, and values.在去年的克林顿全球倡议年会上，我谈到了奥巴马政府的国际发展新战略，这项新战略将发展问题提升到与外交和防务同样的高度，一起成为美国对外政策的核心支柱。我们与伙伴国家进行合作，帮助他们获取为解决各自面临的问题所需要的手段和能力，并为解决世界性的共同问题作出贡献。我们的目标是帮助民众以及他们的家庭和社会摆脱贫困，改善生活。而这一目标并非为发展而发展。我们相信，这项工作会推进我们自身的安全、繁荣和价值观。

So we have focused on strategic areas where we can make the biggest impact on agricultural change that stretch from the farm to the market to the table and keep people nourished and productive, health systems that help people spend their days working rather than sick or dying, opportunities for women and girls that allow them to contribute to economic and social progress.因此，我们着重于有关战略领域，对从农场到市场再到饭桌的农业变革发挥最大影响力，并保证人们的营养水平和生产能力；使医疗系统能够帮助人们健康地工作，不会疾病缠身甚至死亡；创造机会使成年和未成年女性能为经济与社会进步作出贡献。

And today, I am very excited to tell you about a new initiative that will advance these and other efforts, and help put vital new tools in the hands of millions of people.今天，我非常高兴地向大家宣布一项新的倡议，以推进这方面的努力和其他努力，并帮助亿万人民获得极其重要的新工具。

As we meet here in New York, women are cooking dinner for their families in homes and villages around the world.As many as 3 billion people are gathering around open fires or old and inefficient stoves in small kitchens and poorly ventilated houses.Many of the women have labored over these hearths for hours, often with their infant babies strapped to their backs, and they have spent many more hours gathering the fuel.The food they prepare is different on every continent, but the air they breathe is shockingly similar: a toxic mix of chemicals released by burning wood or other solid fuel that can reach 200 times the amount that our EPA considers safe for breathing.就在我们在纽约开会之时，世界各地的妇女正在家里和村子里为家人做饭。多达30亿人生起明火，或在窄小的、通风不良的厨房里，在老旧低效的厨灶边忙碌。很多妇女一连几个小时地在这样的厨灶边忙个不停，身上还常常背着婴儿，而且还要花很多时间拾柴。各大洲的妇女做的饭菜各式各样，但她们吸入的气体却惊人地相似：燃烧的木柴和其他固体燃料所释放的有毒的化学混合气体，可能高达我国环保署（EPA）空气安全标准允许含量的200倍。

As the women cook, smoke fills their lungs and the toxins begin poisoning them and their children.The results of daily exposure can be devastating: Pneumonia, the number one killer of children worldwide, chronic respiratory diseases, lung cancer, and a range of other health problems are the consequence.妇女在烧饭时，将烟尘吸入肺部，有害气体导致她们和她们的孩子中毒。日复一日地吸入有毒气体可能造成致命后果：全世界儿童的头号杀手肺炎、慢性呼吸道疾病、肺癌以及其他各种健康问题。

The World Health Organization considers smoke from dirty stoves to be one of the five most serious health risks that face people in poor, developing countries.Nearly 2 million people die from its effects each year, more than twice the number from malaria.And because the smoke contains greenhouse gasses such as carbon dioxide and methane, as well as black carbon, it contributes to climate change.世界卫生组织认为，高污染厨灶产生的烟气是贫穷的发展中国家人民所面临的五种最严重的健康危害之一，每年造成将近200万人死亡，超过疟疾造成的死亡人数的两倍。此外，由于烟气中含有诸如二氧化碳、甲烷以及黑碳等温室气体，它对气候变化也大有影响。

There are other consequences as well.In conflict zones like the Congo, the journeys that women must take to find scarce fuel put them at increased risk of violent and sexual assault.Even in safer areas, every hour spent collecting fuel is an hour not spent in school or tending crops or running a business.还有其他一些后果。在像刚果这样的冲突地区，妇女为寻找稀少的烧柴必须长途跋涉，致使她们受到暴力和性侵犯的危险更大。即使在比较安全的地方，她们为拾柴多花一个小时，就意味着在学校、田间或做生意上少花一个小时。

People have cooked over open fires and dirty stoves for all of human history, but the simple fact is they are slowly killing millions of people and polluting the environment.Engineers and development professionals have worked on this problem for decades.My own involvement stretches back many years, and I’m well aware that well-meaning efforts have been launched, but none have managed to match the scope of the challenge.在整个人类历史进程中，人们一直在用明火或高污染厨灶做饭，但一个明确的事实是，厨灶正在导致千百万人慢性死亡，同时还在污染环境。工程师和开发专业人员几十年来一直在努力解决这个问题。我自己参与其中也有很多年了。据我了解，人们已经作出一些良好的努力，但这些努力不足以应对这一挑战的规模。

But today, because of technological breakthroughs, new carbon financing tools, and growing private sector engagement, we can finally envision a future in which open fires and dirty stoves are replaced by clean, efficient, and affordable stoves and fuels all over the world – stoves that still cost as little as $25.如今，由于出现了技术突破、新型碳融资手段以及越来越多私营企业的参与，我们终于可以展望这样一个未来：明火和高污染厨灶在世界范围内被清洁、高效、价格廉宜的厨灶和燃料所取代——而这样的厨灶售价只需25美元。

I know that maybe this sounds hard to believe, but by upgrading these stoves, millions of lives could be saved and improved.This could be as transformative as bed nets or even vaccines.So today, I am very pleased to announce the creation of the Global Alliance for Clean Cookstoves.(Applause.)This is a public-private partnership led by the United Nations Foundation that will work toward the goal of 100 million homes adopting new clean stoves and fuels by 2020.Our long-term goal is universal adoption all over the world, and the alliance is a perfect CGI model of a public-private partnership that already includes governments such as the United States, Germany, Norway, and Peru, international development organizations and local NGOs, as well as foundations and private companies such as Morgan Stanley and Shell.我知道也许这听起来难以置信，但是通过这些厨灶的升级，数百万人的寿命能够延长、生活能够改善。这可能会像蚊帐甚或疫苗一样有变革意义。所以今天，我很高兴地宣布创立全球清洁厨灶联盟。（掌声）这是一项公私合作伙伴关系，由联合国基金会挑头，力争实现到2020年让一亿户人家用上新型清洁厨灶和燃料的目标。我们的长远目标是在世界各地普及清洁厨灶，而这个联盟则是克林顿全球倡议的一个完美模式，其政府和私营伙伴关系已经包括诸如美国、德国、挪威、秘鲁等国政府，多个国际开发组织和各地的非政府组织，还有各类基金会以及摩根士丹利、壳牌公司等私人企业。

And we do expect to grow quickly with your help, and this effort will proceed on a number of parallel tracks.First, a major applied research and development effort to improve design, lower costs, and develop global industry standards for cookstoves.There are already some good stoves out there, but we can make them much more durable, efficient, and affordable, and scale up production to reach a mass market.With the right advances, new stoves could even use their own wasted heat to produce electricity that powers smoke-clearing fans, mobile phones, and even household lights.我们确实期待着在你们的帮助下快速发展，这一努力将在数条平行轨道上展开。首先，要有一个重要的应用研究和开发项目，来改善设计、降低成本，并制定厨灶产业的全球性标准。市场上已经有一些效果不错的炉具，但我们可以把它们设计得更耐用、高效，经济实惠，并能扩大生产，投放大众市场。如果取得适当进展，新型厨灶甚至可以用自身余热发电，电力又可以驱动清烟风扇、为移动电话充电、甚至用于家庭照明。

Second, a broad-based campaign to create a commercial market for clean stoves, including reducing trade barriers, promoting consumer awareness, and boosting access to large-scale carbon financing.Now, no single stove will meet the needs of every community across the world.In fact, previous efforts have taught us that if local tastes and preferences are not considered, people will simply not use the stoves, and we’ll find them stacked in piles of refuse.That’s why a market-based approach that relies on testing, monitoring, and research is so important, because if we do this right, these new stoves will fit seamlessly into family cooking traditions while also offering a step up toward a better life.其次，要有一项具有广泛基础的努力，为清洁炉具开辟一个商业市场，包括降低贸易壁垒，以提高消费者的意识，并促进获得大规模的碳融资。不过，任何一种厨灶都不能满足世界各地每一个社区的需求。事实上，以前的经验告诉我们，如果对当地的品味和喜好不加考虑，人们根本不会使用这些炉具，我们会发现它们变成堆积如山的废物。这就是为什么一种以市场为基础并且依赖于检测、监测和研究的方式是如此重要，因为如果我们的做法得当，这些新型厨灶就会完美地融入家庭烹饪传统，同时也使人们向更美好的生活迈进一步。

Third, we will integrate clean stoves into our international development projects so that refugee camps, disaster relief efforts, and long-term aid programs all will act as distribution networks.Women and girls who are obviously the vast majority of stove users will be our focus throughout.Women-owned, micro-financed businesses and networks can extend deep into hard-to-reach communities, and that I know a number of my friends from SEWA, the Self Employed Women’s Association that started in India, has already made a huge difference for millions of women in India.And they’re with us today;you’ll meet them in a minute.And they’re helping us to make this happen more broadly.第三，我们将把清洁厨灶与我们的国际发展项目结合起来，这样，难民营、救灾行动和长期援助项目等都将成为我们的推广、分发网络。显然，作为厨灶主要使用者的妇女和女孩子将是我们自始至终的工作重点。妇女拥有的小型贷款企业和各种网络能够深深地延伸到难以企及的社区。我认识好几位来自自我创业妇女协会的朋友，这个从印度发起的组织已经改变了数百万妇女的命运，今天这些朋友也在座，你们很快就会与她们见面。她们正在帮助我们把这个事业推广到更大的范围。

The United States is committing more than $50 million over the next five years to this initiative, and we urge other countries to join us.Our partners have already contributed an additional $10 million, and we’re working to raise more every day with the goal of reaching at least $250 million over 10 years.This is a project that brings, across our government, the experts together, and many of them have long experience in working on clean stoves, but never before have we pulled our resources and our expertise behind a single global campaign, as we are doing today.And never before have we had the range of global partners and coordination that the Alliance for Clean Cookstoves brings with it.美国已承诺在以后5年中为此行动计划提供5000万美元，我们敦促其他国家也参加这个行列。我们的伙伴们已经捐助了另外1000万美元，我们每天在努力募集更多资金，我们的目标是在10年内至少筹到2.5亿美元。这个项目把政府各部门的专家们汇聚到一起，他们中的许多人具有研究清洁厨灶的多年经验，但我们以前从未像我们今天所做的那样，把所有的资源和专长汇集在一个全球性运动之中；我们以前也从未有过清洁厨灶联盟所带来的如此广泛的全球伙伴和协作。

So we need your help as well.You’re here because you are already committed to identifying and investing in innovative solutions to persistent global problems.So today, I ask you to join us, to be a part of this solution, an issue that brings together so many of our concerns.Whether you’re passionate about health or the environment or sustainable development or women’s empowerment, this is a project for you, and we need you.因此，我们也需要你们的帮助，在座的各位来到这里，是因为你们已经承担起义务，找出并投资于创新办法来解决长期以来困扰着我们的全球性问题。因此，今天我请求你们加入进来，成为这个解决办法的一部分，因为我们如此之多的关切都汇集在这个问题上。无论你是热衷于健康问题、环境问题、可持续发展问题，还是增加妇女权益问题，这就是你要做的项目，我们需要你的参与。

The next time you sit down with your own family to eat, please take a moment to imagine the smell of smoke, feel it in your lungs, see the soot building up on the walls, and then come find us at the Global Alliance for Clean Cookstoves.Hearths, whatever they look like, and wherever we gather around them, where we tell our stories and pass down our values, bind families together.And the benefits from this initiative will be cleaner and safer homes, and that will, in turn, ripple out for healthier families, stronger communities, and more stable societies.So we are excited because we think this is actually a problem we can solve.下一次，当你和你的家人一起进餐时，请你停顿一个瞬间来设想一下烟气的味道，设想一下它进入你肺部的感觉，以及烟灰在墙上聚积的情景，然后就到全球清洁厨灶联盟来参加我们的事业。无论我们的厨灶是什么形状，无论我们在什么地方围绕着灶台，我们都在那里讲述经历，传承价值观，把我们的家庭紧紧联结在一起。这项倡议将带来更清洁和更安全的家庭环境，由此将产生更健康的家庭、更强健的社区和更稳定的社会。因此，我们很兴奋，因为我们觉得，这是一个我们能够切实解决的问题。

And I want to bring up and introduce to you a woman who has been my partner in this process in the United States Government.She provided invaluable leadership to this effort and has on so many important issues facing our country.The Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, Lisa Jackson.现在我要把一位女士介绍给大家，她是我在美国政府中推进这个项目的伙伴，她在该项努力中以及在我们国家面临的其他许多重要问题中发挥了非凡的领导作用，她就是美国环境保护署署长。
