Shenzhen, 15 May 2008

Speech by Juergen Boos, Director of the Frankfurt Book Fair

At the opening of the 4th International Cultural Industries Fair(ICIF), China, 16-19 May 2008

I am extremely honoured to be here today for the opening of the fourth International Cultural Industries Fair in Shenzhen, the largest fair of its kind in China.And I congratulate the aspiration of the People’s Republic of China to improve the international marketing and promotion of the Chinese culture.All around the world, people are curious to get to know China better.They are not only interested in the economical and political aspects of the Asian Giant, but also its culture.The Cultural Industries Fair in Shenzhen is an international platform for culture in all its

many aspects – digital media are just as much at home here as print products, dance and folk art, calligraphy and literature.For the first time this year, an entire hall has been dedicated to international exhibitors, emphasising the increased importance China places on international contacts.The topic I would like to focus on today is how to market culture internationally.Because that is exactly what the Frankfurt Book Fair has been doing ever since our reestablishment 60 years ago, after the Second World War.The title of my presentation is: ―Creating the Best International

Platform for the Chinese Book and Media Industry‖.I must admit this is not a difficult task for me.Because in 2009, China will be the Guest of Honour at the Frankfurt Book Fair, the world’s largest fair for content and media.In my opinion, that is a fantastic opportunity for the

presentation of China’s culture and literature to the world.Together with this year’s Summer

Olympics and the World Expo planned for 2010 in Shanghai, China is in an extraordinary position to demonstrate all the many facets of its culture to the world.The Frankfurt Book Fair is unique because there is no other place in the world which brings

together so many international publishers, writers, critics and other publishing professionals.More than 7,000 exhibitors from over 100 countries around the world present their products at our Fair – on 172,000 square metres of exhibition space.And approximately 180,000 trade visitors come to Fair every year from every corner of the world.The attention of the international media is turned to the Guest of Honour for five days in October.Because the Book Fair is such a huge cultural event.There are about 2,700 individual events which take place during the Fair, in the Fair buildings themselves as well as around the city of Frankfurt.Events which traditionally attract around 283,000 visitors.Already several weeks before the fair, the media in Germany begin to focus on the Guest of Honour.Numerous independent events draw attention to the country’s literature and culture.Events which range from readings and discussions on literature, politics and history – to theatre and dance performances, exhibitions, films and concerts.There are often special conferences offered about the visiting country and even special courses at community education centres.The success story of the Frankfurt Book Fair clearly proves that culture and commerce can go hand in hand.On this note, I would like to wish you all a very successful time during the International Cultural Industries Fair in Shenzhen.And I am looking forward to the Guest of Honour presentation of China in 2009!

【主会场】法兰克福书展主席岳根·博思先生在中国（深圳）国际文化产业高峰论坛上的演讲（中英文稿）

尊敬的各位贵宾，尊敬的各位来宾：

我很高兴今天来参加第四届中国（深圳）国际文化产业博览交易会——这个中国最大的文化产业博览会的开幕式。祝贺中国文化在国际市场营销与推广方面取得成就。世界关注中国，希望更多了解中国的愿望不仅体现在经济和政治领域，还体现在文化领域。

深圳文博会为文化产业搭建了一个国际性的平台，在这里文化涵盖了各个方面，从数字媒体、印刷产品到舞蹈、民间艺术、书法以及文学等。深圳文博会今年还首次为国际参展商设立了专门的展厅，充分体现了中国对国际合作的重视。

今天我的发言主要将围绕―如何开展文化的国际营销‖展开。因为这也正是法兰克福书展在二战后，约60年前的―重生‖以后一直以来的工作。我的报告的主题是―如何为中国书业和传媒业打造最好的国际平台‖。我必须承认这对我来说并不是一个很难的题目，因为2009年中国将作为法兰克福书展的主宾国，在世界上最大的内容与传媒的博览会上登台亮相。我觉得这对中国来讲是一个在国际舞台上展示中国文化与文学的绝好机会。连同2008年的北京夏季奥运会和2010年的上海世博会，将使中国获得难得的机遇，向世界公众展示中国多样文化的魅力。

世界上没有一个地方能像法兰克福书展这样吸引着全世界的出版人、作家、评论家以及出版界的各种专业人士。每年在法兰克福书展172000平米的展场上，聚集了来自100多个国家的7000多家参展商来展示他们的产品。约180000位来自世界各地的专业人士每年参加法兰克福书展。

国际媒体的注意力也被十月的五天里的法兰克福书展上的主宾国展示所吸引。因为法兰克福书展是世界顶级的文化盛事。大约283000位参展者会参与到2700多场文化活动中，无论是

在展场还是在法兰克福市周围。在书展开幕的数周之前，德国的媒体就已经开始聚焦主宾国了。

众多的各种文化活动将吸引人们关注主宾国的文学与文化。从以文学、政治、历史为主题的各种朗诵会和研讨会，到戏剧、舞蹈演出、展览、电影和音乐会。还经常有关于主宾国的专业会议和国民大学课程。法兰克福书展成功的历史充分证明了，文化与贸易可以紧密的结合在一起。从这个意义上，我祝愿深圳文博会取得圆满成功，祝愿大家在文博会上取得业绩。我很期待2009年法兰克福书展上中国主宾国的展示！

第三篇：英语专八改错部分真题及答案

So far as we can tell, all human languages are equally complete and perfect as instruments of communication: that is, every language appears to be as well equipped as any other to say the things its speakers want to say.It may or may not be appropriate to talk about primitive peoples or cultures, but that is another matter.Certainly, not all groups of people are equally competent in nuclear physics or psychology or the cultivation of rice or the engraving of Benares brass.But this is not the fault of their language.The Eskimos can speak about snow with a great deal more precision and subtlety than we can in English, but this is not because the Eskimo language(one of those sometimes miscalled ’primitive’)is inherently more precise and subtle than English.This example does not bring to light a defect in English, a show of unexpected ’primitiveness’.The position is simply and obviously that the Eskimos and the English live in different environments.The English language would be just as rich in terms for different kinds of snow, presumably, if the environments in which English was habitually used made such distinction important.Similarly, we have no reason to doubt that the Eskimo language could be as precise and subtle on the subject of motor manufacture or cricket if these topics formed part of the Eskimos’ life.For obvious historical reasons, Englishmen in the nineteenth century could not talk about motorcars with the minute discrimination which is possible today: cars were not a part of their culture.But they had a host of terms for horse-drawn vehicles which send us, puzzled, to a historical dictionary when we are reading Scott or Dickens.How many of us could distinguish between a chaise, a landau, a victoria, a brougham, a coupe, a gig, a diligence, a whisky, a calash, a tilbury, a carriole, a phaeton, and a clarence ?

The Victorians had become addicted to speed and, like all speed crazy kids, they wanted to go ever faster.Time was money and efficiency became increasingly important.Although division of labour had been conceived by Adam Smith and illustrated by a pin factory in The Wealth of Nations in 1776, it could now become fully realised.This specialisation andindividualisation of labour was in marked contrast to the rural means of production, in which the family was the means of production, consumption and socialisation.With greater speed came a greater need for industries and businesses to make more and make it quicker.Steam made this possible and changed working life forever.Gone were the days when work was dictated by natural forces: steam engines were servant to neither season nor sunshine.Factories had foremen and life became correspondingly more regimented.The clocking-on machine was invented in 1885 and time and motion studies to increase efficiency would be introduced only some twenty years later.But it was not all bad news.Agricultural incomes

depended on variable harvests and weather.Factories provided secure and predictable income, but long hours.Working life was becoming increasingly regulated, and the working week was reorganised to promote ever-greater efficiency.The old custom of St.Mondaywas gradually phased out and to compensate, work stopped around midday on Saturday and did not resume until Monday morning.A new division between 'work' and 'leisure' emerged, and this new block of weekend leisure time coincided with the development of spectator sports like cricket and football, and the rise of music hall entertainment for the new working classes.阅读部分真题（网友版）

TEXT A

After breakfast the boys wandered out into the play-ground.Here the day-boys were gradually assembling.They were sons of the local clergy, of the officers at the Depot, and of such

manufacturers or men of business as the old town possessed.Presently a bell rang, and they all trooped into school.This consisted of a large, long room at opposite ends of which two

under-masters conducted the second and third forms, and of a smaller one, leading out of it, used by Mr.Watson, who taught the first form.To attach the preparatory to the senior school these three classes were known officially, on speech days and in reports, as upper, middle, and lower second.Philip was put in the last.The master, a red-faced man with a pleasant voice, was called Rice;he had a jolly manner with boys, and the time passed quickly.Philip was surprised when it was a quarter to eleven and they were let out for ten minutes' rest.The whole school rushed noisily into the play-ground.The new boys were told to go into the middle, while the others stationed themselves along opposite walls.They began to play Pig in the Middle.The old boys ran from wall to wall while the new boys tried to catch them: when one was seized and the mystic words saidhe became a prisoner and, turning sides, helped to catch those who were still free.Philip saw a boy running past and tried to

catch him, but his limp gave him no chance;and the runners, taking their opportunity, made straight for the ground he covered.Then one of them had the brilliant idea of imitating Philip's clumsy run.Other boys saw it and began to laugh;then they all copied the first;and they ran round Philip, limping grotesquely, screaming in their treble voices with shrill laughter.They lost their heads with the delight of their new amusement, and choked with helpless merriment.One of them tripped Philip up and he fell, heavily as he always fell, and cut his knee.They laughed all the louder when he got up.A boy pushed him from behind, and he would have fallen again if another had not caught him.The game was forgotten in the entertainment of Philip's deformity.One of them invented an odd, rolling limp that struck the rest as supremely ridiculous, and several of the boys lay down on the ground and rolled about in laughter: Philip was completely scared.He could not make out why they were laughing at him.His heart beat so that he could hardly breathe, and he was more frightened than he had ever been in his life.He stood still stupidly while the boys ran round him, mimicking and laughing;they shouted to him to try and catch them;but he did not move.He did not want them to see him run any more.He was using all his strength to prevent himself from crying.选自：人性的枷锁 Of Human Bondage 第十一章

TEXT B

For parents who send their kids off to college saying, “These will be the best years of your life,” it would be very appropriate to add, “If you can handle the stress of college life.”

Freshmen are showing up already stressed out, according to the latest CIRP Freshman

Survey that reported students' emotional health levels at their lowest since the survey started in 1985.While in school, more students are working part-time and near-full-time jobs.At graduation, only 29 percent of seniors have jobs lined up.Pressure to excel often creates stress, and many students are not learning how to effectively handle this stress.1)Stress can make smart people do stupid things: Stress causes what brain researchers call “cortical inhibition.” In simple terms, stress inhibits a part of the brain responsible for

decision-making and reaction time and can adversely affect other mental abilities as well.2)The human body doesn't discriminate between a big stressful event and a little one: Any stressful experience will create a cascade of 1,400 biochemical events in your body.If any amount of stress is left unchecked, many things can occur within the body, including premature aging, impaired cognitive function and energy drain.3)Stress can become your new norm: When you regularly experience negative feelings and high amounts of stress, your brain recognizes this as your normal state.This then becomes the new norm, or baseline for your emotional state.4)Stress can be controlled: Countless studies demonstrate that people can restructure their emotional stateusing emotion-refocusing techniques.These techniques help you recognize how you are feeling and shift to a more positive emotional, mental and physical state.5)Stress less by loving what you study: Barbara Frederickson, a leading international authority on the importance of positive emotions, says humans are genetically programmed to seek positive emotions such as love and joy.It's suggested to choose a major or career path you love and enjoy.Otherwise, you could end up fighting against your own biology.选自：华盛顿邮报

TEXT C

For anyone who doubts that the texting revolution is upon us, consider this: The average 13-to 17-year-old sends and receives 3,339 texts a month—more than 100 per day, according to the Nielsen Co., the media research firm.Adults are catching up.People from ages 45 to 54 sent and received 323 texts a month in the second quarter of 2010, up 75% from a year ago, Nielsen says.Behind the texting explosion is a fundamental shift in how we view our mobile devices.That they are phones is increasingly beside the point.Part of what's driving the texting surge among adults is the popularity of social media.Sites like Twitter, with postings of no more than 140 characters, are creating and reinforcing the habit of communicating in micro-bursts.And these sites also are pumping up sheer volume.Many Twitter and Facebook devotees create settings that alert them, via text message, every time a tweet or message is earmarked for them.In October 2009, 400 million texts alerted social-media users to such new messages across AT&T's wireless network, says Mark Collins, AT&T senior vice president for data and voice products;by September 2010, the number had more than doubled to one billion.(Twitter reports more than two billion tweets are sent each month.)

Nowadays, there is a widespread concern over the issue that should english majors study math.Some people hold that all of students should study math, others do not agree.As for me, I agree with the later opinion.WIth university budgets cut , more and more universities choose to cancel math education.Providing math as part of education helps develop intelligence that leads to greater success in school and in life.Every student in the nation should have an

education in math until they prepare to work.Universities should do everything they can to spread the importance of math.And advance the resort of math education as part of the core.Giving a student opportunity to study accounting can promote his or her later success in society.Reseachers have found that students involved in math likely to succeed in society.Math is not only a skill, but also a culture in a word ,non english majors study english in college is benefit to their life and future.They should study Math in college.

第五篇：专八口语考试备考攻略

英语专业八级口试口译部分的备考攻略

1.扩展知识面，关心国内国际时事。

口译与话题评论涉及的内容大都是社会上近期出现的热点或者是大家普遍关心的社会问题，如2010年的中译英内容就是有关世博会中国馆馆长介绍中国馆情况的讲话。因此考生在平时备考时应该多多关心时事，对各个方面的社会问题多关注，尤其是与中国有关的时事，多看媒体评论，尤其是可以重点关注CCTV9、China Daily，Beijing Review等国内对外宣传的媒体，熟悉热点话题的中英文表达，这样才能在考试时有的放矢，发挥自如。

2.做好口译笔记，尽量不要漏译，更不可乱译和误译。

口译材料2-3分钟，口译其中的一部分或全部内容。讲话放两遍，第一遍是完整的内容没有停顿，第二遍是需要口译的内容，通常包括4个或4个以上段落，每个段落大约包括2-3个句子。考生在聆听录音时可以做笔记。口译是否成功某种程度上取决于笔记是否做得好。

英语专业八级口语考试前两项的英中互译都是量化评分，而不是整体评分。具体讲就是先把5个句子或句群从整篇讲稿中抽取出来。再把每一个句子或句群切分为5个得分点，每个得分点分值4分。这样英译中和中译英满分分别是100分。

例：2009年英译中的第三个句群

The world’s first automobile assembly line//began operation at Ford’s plant//over 106 years ago.//And what a journey it has been since then—bringing us all the way here//to celebrate this milestone today.//

上面的例子有5个切分，每个值4分，共计20分。不过不是每个词都需要译出来，bringing us all the way here中的all the way不译不扣分。有些得分点还可以继续切分，如began operation /at Ford’s plant这样在分割后的每个新得分点分值是2。知道这个评分细节后，同学们在口语考试中需要做好口译笔记，尤其记住数字等关键词，尽量不要漏译，更不可乱译和误译。

3.关注礼仪演讲，储备常用词汇和用法。

这些年来，八级口语考试的英译中和中译英一直采用礼仪类演讲材料，包括开幕词、答谢词、欢迎词、新年致辞和祝酒词等，如2009年英语专业八级口语考试第一项英译中是“长安福特汽车新工厂竣工投产仪式讲话”，第二项中译英是“第四届世界城市论坛新闻发布会讲话”；2010年英译中（2010年考试真题参见网站）是印度尼西亚高级官员在“印尼国际友好协会”启动仪式上的讲话，中译英则是2010年热点，世博会中国馆馆长在新闻发布会上介绍中国馆的讲话，这些都属于礼仪类演讲。

这些材料的特点是短小、套话、便于量化评分和覆盖口译要点。对英语专业四年级的同学而言是可以掌握的，也是必须掌握的。所使用的材料是精心挑选的，完全符合《大纲》的要求，历年难度变化不大；朗读者都是标准发音，几乎不带口音；语速也是标准语速，每分钟150词到170词。预留出来的录音时间充裕，同学们不用抢着说，正常讲话速度就行。

考生在平时备考口译时一定要多多关注开幕式、答谢词、欢迎词、祝酒词等礼仪演讲，熟悉这些演讲中常见的中英文表达法，储备常用的中英文词汇和句子，这样在考试的时候就比较容易进入状态，发挥得心应手。
