Week 1 Tourism I
1-1 Australia: A Land of Exceptional Beauty （高口第三版P97，第四
版P96）
Australia warmly welcomes visitors from all over the world.
Australia is a land of exceptional beauty. It is the world’s smallest continent and largest island, a relatively young nation established in an ancient land. A series of geological and historical accidents has made Australia one of the world’s most attractive countries from the tourist’s viewpoint. This country has a land area of 7,686,850 square kilometers and its coastline is 36,735 kilometers.
The vast movements of the earth’s crust created a vast land of Australia, isolated it and positioned it across the tropical and temperate climatic zones. This land has a small population, which left enormous areas unspoiled. Here you witness an astonishing variety of environments, from desert to rain forest, from tropical beach to white snowfield, from big, sophisticated cities to vast uninhabited areas. The tourist will admire a wide array of unique and intriguing fauna and flora, a comfortable and sunny climate, and an interesting, cosmopolitan and friendly people.
Tourism is a major industry in Australia, representing about 6% of the gross domestic product and providing, directly or indirectly, around 440,000 jobs. More than 2,000,000 tourists visit Australia each year, spending about $4,000 million. It is worth mentioning that the number of tourists from China is on the rise in recent years.
There are a variety of restaurants to suit all tastes and pockets, from top-class restaurants with international cuisine to small coffee shops serving snacks. All cities have a wide range of ethnic restaurants.
1-2 Niagara Falls （高口第三版P217，第四版P192）
Situated between the state of New York of the United States and the province of Ontario of Canada, and with an age of 25,000 years, Niagara Falls is one of the most spectacular natural wonders on the North American continent. The falls are on the Niagara River, which flows between the United States and Canada from Lake Erie to Lake Ontario. The falls are about 17 miles northwest of Buffalo, N.Y. The industrial city and tourist center of Niagara Falls, N. Y., is adjacent to the American side of the falls. Niagara Falls, Ontario, is across the river.
The falls are divided into two parts by Goat Island. The larger portion, on the southwest side, is the Canadian falls, known as the Horseshoe Falls. It measures 790 meters along its curve and drops 49.4 meters. The smaller American falls is northeast of Goat Island. It is 305 meters across and drops about 51 meters. Just before flowing over the ledge, the American stream is only about one meter deep, while the Canadian stream is about six meters deep and carries some 95% of the Niagara River's water. Thus the Horseshoe is the larger and grander of the two falls.
Both the United States and Canadian governments have built parks, viewing platforms, paths, and highways. The Niagara Reservation State Park was established in 1885 and is New York's oldest state park. It includes an observation tower, elevators that descend into the gorge at the base of the American falls, and boat trips into the waters at the base of the Horseshoe Falls. At night colored lights illuminate the falls and create a charming spectacle which viewers find hard to turn away from. The park area has long been a tourist site and a favorite spot for couples to spend their honeymoons.
1-3 Yellowstone National Park （高口第三版P113，第四版P107）Welcome to the world's first national park, the Yellowstone Park of the United States. In this paradise, nature puts on a spectacular display. Geysers send water shooting into the air. Mud pots boil and bubble. Hot springs display brilliant colors of blue, yellow and orange. You won't find any place else like it on Earth.
The park's thermal areas make it unique. Geysers are also found in New Zealand and Iceland, but Yellowstone has more geysers than the rest of the earth combined. More than 200 geysers and 10,000 other thermal features dot the park. All are protected. The park does not allow visitors to wander off the walkways or touch the thermal features.
Take you time exploring the park. Walk around the thermal areas, look for wildlife along rivers and streams, have a picnic under a big tree, listen to the wild roar and feel the spray on your face. Nothing can take you away from the sights. The park was created for the benefit and enjoyment of all. So have a good time.
2-1泰山（高口第三版P95，第四版P94）
在广袤无垠的中华大地上，有着无数绚丽多姿的自然景观，五千年的灿烂文化把这如诗如画的江山打扮得分外妖娆。全国各地的名胜古迹都是游客向往的地方。
泰山地处我国山东省的中部，绵延200多公里，其巅峰位于泰安市北面，海拔1545米。泰山雄伟壮观，峻拔突兀，最高峰玉皇顶为峡谷和险峰所环绕。登临泰山需走九曲十八盘的路程，沿途可饱览绚丽的风光，观赏不同风格的古代建筑。一阶石梯，直通南天门。登上日观峰，举目远眺，只见山外有山，景外有景，无限风光，摄人心魄。
泰山将自然景观与文化景观完美地融为一体，山上有无以计数的奇石、清瀑、古松、石桥、庙宇、亭阁、古塔、殿堂。名胜古迹数不胜数，尤其是历代文人雅士墨客所留下的1300多处石刻碑文，令游客目不暇接，叹为观止。壮观的自然风景以及不可计数的历史名胜，激发了古代文人墨客，为之舞文弄墨，创作了无数经典佳作。泰山历来是画家骚客钟情的聚集地。
现代世界也认识到泰山的旅游价值和文化价值，早在1987年，联合国教科文组织世界遗产委员会便将泰山列入联合国“世界自然与文化双遗产名录”之中。
泰山热忱欢迎世界各地游客来此观光。
2-2上海（高口第三版P165，第四版P152）
上海的字面意思是指“海上之埠”，简称“沪”，别称“申”。上海面积为6340平方公里，占全国总面积的0.06%，属冲积平原，地势平坦，平均海拔高度4米，最高点大金山海拔103.4米，常住居民达1700万。
这是世界上最大的海港城市之一，也是中国最大的工业、商业、金融、航运中心之一。这里有着世界上最快的陆地交通工具——磁悬浮列车和亚洲最高的高塔——东方明珠塔，它们标志着上海的速度和高度。
上海是美食家的乐园，全市数以千计的餐馆汇集了全国各大名菜，如鲁菜、川菜、粤菜、扬州菜、闽菜等，各种风味，一应俱全。世界各地的风味烹调，如法、俄、意、英、德、西、日、韩、印等外帮菜，比比皆是，各领风骚。清真人士和素食者，自有去处，各得其所。
2-3张家界
有人说，湖南的张家界盛产风景，一点儿都没错。张家界位于湖南省西北部，气候湿润，风景如画的自然景区遍布境内，除核心景区张家界国家森林公园、天子山自然保护区、索溪峪自然保护区外，周边还有天门山国家森林公园、茅岩河漂流景区、国家级自然保护区八大公山等让人流连忘返的自然风光。
张家界国家森林公园距张家界市城区32公里，一向被认为是张家界的后花园。从张家界市区驱车到森林公园只需要十多分钟。而仅仅是这十几分钟，就让我们从喧嚣的闹市一下子来到鸟兽争鸣的森林园区。
1982年，风景优美的张家界林场被批准为中国第一个国家森林公园。这张“第一家”的王牌也让越来越多的人从世界各地赶来一睹它的奇峰怪石，领略它的暗流峡谷。

Week 4 Traditional Culture
4-1 中国文化周（高口第三版P234，第四版P206）
China has held many cultural exchange activities in Europe and other parts of the world. The coming China Culture Week in London is the largest cultural exhibition of its kind. May I know the purpose of staging such an exhibition?
我们已经进入了一个新的千年。文化周是庆祝新纪元到来的大型活动之一。我们还希望这次展览能帮助英国人民以及来自世界其他地区的人们了解中国的今昔。同时，文化周也是东西方文化的一次沟通，我们希望这次活动能够促进中英两国和两国文化之间的交流和了解，缩短东西方之间的差距。
What will be displayed within the seven short days?
我们选择了一些反映中国文化精髓的主题，有古代的，也有现代的。活动分成展览和表演两大类。
Could you tell me more about the exhibition?
我们要展示的内容包括中国在教育、文化、建筑和科技方面所取得的成就，介绍首都北京和东方明珠上海的新貌。我们还要展出中国陶器、京剧戏装、中国编钟和中国出土文物的精品。最后一场展览将展示被联合国教科文组织列入世界遗产名录的29处景点及其图片和实物。
What about the performance? What do we expect to see?
在展出期间我们将安排3场演出，有编钟音乐会，有民间歌舞演出，有中国历史上各朝代的服饰表演和现代服装表演。
What about the Peking Opera costumes to be displayed?
欧洲是交响乐之乡，也是歌剧之乡，是许多杰出作曲家的摇篮。中国也有歌剧，那就是京剧。京剧起源于200年前清朝时期的北京。京剧是一种集歌舞表演、歌唱、音乐、舞蹈和武术于一体的表演艺术。我们的服装展览会将展示这个“东方歌剧”历时200年的发展史。
4-2 中国戏剧（高口第三版P245，第四版P217）
How many traditional operas are there in China?
各类传统戏剧总数达300种左右，有些全国知名，如京剧、评剧、越剧、粤剧，其中最受欢迎的京剧已有200多年的历史了。
How did traditional Chinese operas come into being?
中国传统戏剧在其长期的形成和发展过程中借鉴了音乐、舞蹈、诗词、美术、杂技、武术等艺术形式，最后发展成以戏剧情节表演为主导的一种兼收并蓄而又独立的艺术形式。
What contributes to the sustained popularity of traditional Chinese operas?
在长期的发展过程中，中国戏剧形成了鲜明的民族特色，受到人民群众的欢迎，也得到政府强有力的支持。自1949年以来，中国传统戏剧得到了前所未有的发展，全国各地现有剧团1 573个，演员达到86 000多名。
In the west, operas are losing young audiences. What is the situation in China?
在变化了的生活方式和大众传媒的冲击下，传统戏剧在一些大城市失去了许多年轻的观众。但是，传统戏剧依然是最受我国人民欢迎的娱乐活动之一。
4-3 Traditional Chinese medicine （高口第三版P307，第四版P273）Traditional Chinese medicine says that good health is associated with the balance of qi – an energy force that flows through the body. Qi can be hindered or helped by yin and yang – opposing forces that, when balanced, work harmoniously together. According to traditional theory, the goal of acupuncture is to promote the flow of qi by keeping yin and yang in balance – and this is done by inserting needles at various points along primary channels and meridians that crisscross the body.
In China, acupuncture is used to alleviate post-operative pain. Medical experts believe that inserting needles into the body at precise points can stimulate nerves that cause the brain to release its natural pain-killing chemicals. There is sufficient evidence in the literature that shows a positive effect between the technique of acupuncture itself – stimulating these acupuncture points in the skin – and the release of substances in the brain which we know to be associated with the relief of pain.
Studies show that one of the key benefits of acupuncture that seems to be emerging from various studies is that it has few, if any, side effects; and that when used with standard drug treatment –– in anesthesia, for example –– it allows physicians to cut back on medication, delivering the same level of benefit with fewer negative effects.
4-4 Intangible Heritage
China's long history has given birth to numerous cultural marvels. Peking Opera and Chinese acupuncture are two shining stars.
Peking Opera originated in the late 18th century, It's a synthesis of music, dance, art and acrobatics. It's the most influential and representative of all opera forms in China. There are four basic performing skills, Chang, Nian, Zuo and Da, or singing, dialogue, acting and martial arts.
The artists start training at a very early age to master the required skills to perform. Like all other operas, one important element is the music. Peking Opera's melody with harmonious rhythms is graceful and pleasing to the ears. Recently, Peking Opera has acquired many international fans. In the theaters, you can see people from all over the world enjoying the refined art.
Acupuncture, on the other hand, is a treasure within traditional Chinese medicine. It generally refers to the procedure of inserting and manipulating needles into various points on the body to relieve pain or for therapeutic purpose.
The earliest record of Chinese acupuncture dates back over two thousand years. Despite its popularity amongst Chinese, for most of its history it was largely controversial in other parts of the world. But in the late 20th century, it became the subject of active scientific research both in regard to its basis and the therapeutic effectiveness. Nowadays, the method is commonly applied to help people relieve body pain, lose weight and other ailments.
The granting of intangible heritage status to Chinese Peking Opera and Acupuncture has once again shown the renewed life of traditional art forms, with the assistance of discovery of new science and technologies.
Week 5 Economic Reform
5-1 How Stable is the Global Economy ?
Let me conclude by returning to the question posed by the title of this session—How stable is the global economy? Ultimately, of course, this in an unanswerable question. By their nature, shocks are unpredictable. They always come from unexpected quarters. So we cannot know how stable the global economy is over the medium and longer term, because we do not—and cannot—know what events we need to guard against.
So we have to work with what we know. And from our experience of previous crises, we have accumulated knowledge about how to reduce, though not eliminate, the impact of unexpected and adverse events.
We know how important are the benefits that low inflation brings. Governments have come to recognize that sustained low inflation makes all kinds of decision-making easier; and their citizens like it too. There is a strong incentive to keep it low, and that in turn provides a strong incentive to persist with other sound policies as well.
The current global environment is, taken as a whole, about as promising as it has been for some time. There are clouds on the horizon: continuing geopolitical uncertainty; the global payments imbalances; uncomfortably high energy prices. But last year's growth performance was impressive by any standard. And low inflation globally has provided a significantly improved environment for economic policymaking.
5-2 The Real Great Leap Forward（高口第三版P350，第四版P338）“LET China sleep, for when she awakes she will shake the world,” runs Napoleon's famous saying. He was ahead of his time, but now the dragon is certainly stirring. Since 1978, when Deng Xiaoping first set his country on a path of economic reform, its GDP has grown by an average of 9.5% a year, three times the rate in the United States, and faster than in any other economy. The official figures may slightly overstate the growth rate, but China is still likely one day to overtake America and become the world's number one economy.
In fact, China was the largest economy for much of recorded history. Until the 15th century, China had the highest income per head and was the technological leader. But then it suddenly turned its back on the world. Its rulers imposed strict limits on international trade and tightened their control on new technology.
Measured by GDP per person it was overtaken by Europe by 1500, but it remained the world's biggest economy for long thereafter. In 1820 it still accounted for 30% of world GDP. However, by 1950, after a century of anarchy, warlordism, foreign suppression, civil war and the war against Japanese invasion, its share of world output had fallen to less than 5%.
Most of China's growth over the past quarter-century can be explained by high rates of investment and the movement of workers from subsistence farming, where their marginal productivity is close to zero, to more productive use in industry. But China's growth is not based simply on cheap labour. It also has the advantages of good infrastructure, an educated workforce, a high rate of saving available to finance investment and, most important of all, an extremely open economy.
5-3 Prudent monetary policy to reduce leverage
China’s interbank rates began spiking before the Dragon Boat festival earlier this month. While rates appear to have peaked, they remain at elevated levels. Comments from the Central Bank stating that they will "prudently manage liquidity risks that have resulted from rapid credit expansion" caused the Chinese stock market to plummet.
The statement is telling banks to tone down risky activities in the shadowing banking market and reduce their reliance on the central bank to bail them out when they face a cash squeeze.
The Central bank also stated that overall bank liquidity conditions are at a reasonable level. The M2 supply for the first 5 months of this year reached 16 percent, 3% higher than the government annual target. So why the abundant money supply in the system cannot meet the demand for cash? Cao says there is a mismatch in the system, the cash is not going into where it’s needed.
Cao says the growth of shadow banking loan products accounts for more than 20 percent of total loan growth. The size of shadow banking is around 20 trillion US dollars. China’s financial regulators are very aware of the issue and are now willing to accept slower growth and shorter-term hits to ensure the longer term health of the economy.
Week 6 E-commerce
6-1 Information Economy （高口第三版P86，第四版P82）We’re aware of an emergence of a new and exciting mode of information economy driven by networked technology. What I want to say is that the computer Internet is transforming business operation patterns and contributing to what is called the new information economy. An immediate consequence of this profound change is the simplification of business transaction.
Thanks to technology something very important is happening to the US economy. Indeed, something new and different is happening around us. We are able to grow faster without triggering inflation than we thought possible. Of course, there's the down side. The new economy does not mean we will never have another recession or even a deflationary spiral. It does not mean inflation is dead.
The emergence of electronic business has created enormous and exciting challenges for business managers. Internet commerce immediately opens global and more efficient markets.
I would challenge many people to tell me where it has not brought about greater efficiency in markets. We as consumers have benefited from that. In any case, the Internet will transform the way companies do business. And those companies that do not address that issue will not be the market winners.
6-2 Speech made by the Chairman of IBM （高口第三版P392，第四
版P349）
Today, in almost every industry in almost every part of the world there are many examples of enterprises applying this technology to seize competitive advantage and to create enormous challenges for their competitors. I think we're seeing information technology reach the point that all transformational technologies reach when they are no longer controlled by just a small group of skilled professionals, and they cross over to mass acceptance and ubiquity. For example, networking technology, though in its infancy, has already reached the point where we can call it a new mass medium.
Some people are talking about a phenomenon they call "Internet Leapfrog", a high-stakes game in which countries and geographies that make the most astute use of networked technologies quickly bypass other regions in production, productivity, and profitable growth. Today, this contest of Internet Leapfrogging is played on a wide-open field. We hear about 100 million connected users in China ... and some equate that with universal connectivity.
Today, it's evident that the Net represents a transformation far more profound than online "chat" groups or giving people access to sports scores and weather reports. It has emerged as a powerful means for parties of every type to conduct interactions of
every type. Certainly, it's changing the way things are bought and sold. Electronic commerce is booming, creating a marketplace of at least a trillion dollars, most of which comes from business to business transactions.
E-business includes transactions among employees inside an enterprise; among trading partners in a supply chain; and of course, the networked transactions that transform the way educators teach students, physicians treat patients, and the way governments deliver services to citizens. All of these interactions have become digital.
This kind of decision-making is the real revolution in the networked world. It's not just about technology. It’s a changed way of life, because when banks, schools, airlines, hospitals and governments use the Net to allow people to execute transactions, they have to make fundamental changes to the way they currently do things.
6-3 Alibaba faces tough rivals
The sound of money in the era of e-commerce from the warehouse of online clothes retailer HSTYLE. Launched just six years ago, the company last year booked sales of about 160 million U.S. dollars.
HSTYLE started with a virtual store front on Taobao. But today only about half its sales go through Alibaba's e-commerce platforms. The rest are on competing sites, like https://www.wendangku.net/doc/d68558632.html, or HSTYLE's own https://www.wendangku.net/doc/d68558632.html,.
HSTYLE isn't alone. As it gears up for a multi-billion dollar U.S. IPO, Alibaba is facing more challenges to its market dominance than ever. Euromonitor data shows last year for the first time Alibaba's online retail market share slipped as competition heated up.
But that's not all. Alibaba's arch rival Tencent - which owns the leading mobile messaging app, WeChat - just took a 15 percent stake in https://www.wendangku.net/doc/d68558632.html,, China's second largest e-commerce site. Industry watchers says that could pave the way for a killer mobile shopping app.
Alibaba is more upbeat. And the firm does boast high user numbers on some of its own mobile offerings, like payment system Alipay Wallet.
Alibaba is still China's online shopping frontrunner, but the loyalty of its vendors isn't guaranteed. And with cracks appearing in its dominance of the market, when it finally does list, it may not dazzle investors the way it used to.
Week 7 World Exposition
7-1 Speech by Tony Blair
The UK held the first World Expo in 1851. More than 150 years on, Shanghai will host the biggest, most high-profile Expo the world has ever seen. This incredible event is an important opportunity to strengthen the UK-China partnership. We can be proud of this partnership which brings our two countries together across the impressive, diverse range of areas from education and business to culture and science.
It's no surprise to me that UK participation in China's Expo extends so far beyond the physical pavilion. The Shanghai Expo offers the UK and China the opportunity to demonstrate our friendship and collaboration, from joint performances of our most celebrated performers to coming together to tackle global problems like climate change. So I sincerely wish the people of Shanghai and visitors to the Expo an exciting and rewarding experience.
And I hope you will come to our UK pavilion, learn more about the UK and get involved with the extensive arranged events we are holding in partnership with China.
I also hope you will take time to contemplate the many opportunities and challenges that face our increasingly globalised world and how each, and every one of us could contribute to creating a better city and a better life. Thank you.
7-2 Speech by US ambassador
I'm pleased to congratulate China on the opening of the Shanghai Expo, a major event of the world this year and one that will allow Americans and Chinese to continue to get to know each other on the deeper and broader bases.
America has hosted and participated in many World Expos since 19th century and we're excited to see this tradition carry on at the Shanghai Expo. Our participation demonstrates America's commitment to a forward-looking, positive relationship with China.
I invite you to visit American pavilion to learn about America's approach to creating "a better city and a better life". We have prepared a special theatre presentation that we hope will entertain visitors of all ages and inspire them to be part of efforts to improve their own communities.
The USA pavilion will also feature an array of American cultural performers -- from Blue Grass to Hiphop, to Jazz to classical music. One of the Grammy Award winning artists scheduled to perform is American Jazz legend Herbie Hancock.
I'm also particularly proud of our "Student Ambassador" program. Visitors to American pavilion will be greeted by American college students from schools across America. They have many different life experiences they will share with you. And all 160 student ambassadors speak Chinese, which demonstrates the importance American younger generation is placing on learning about China.
While the Expo is an opportunity to present some of the best of America to visitors, it is also an opportunity to learn from China and many of countries will be exhibiting about how they are working to improve their communities. I personally look forward to visiting other national pavilions to see the many exciting things they will have to offer.
I congratulate China on what I'm sure will be a spectacular world's fair. Come and see at the US pavilion.
7-3 Speech by the PM of New Zealand
Nihao, Congratulations Shanghai for hosting World Expo 2010. The Expo is on track to be the largest to date, showcasing China to the world.
New Zealand is proud to be part of that. We're expecting over 40,000 visitors a day to the New Zealand pavilion, and we're keen to show them the very best of our country.
The theme of Expo 2010 is "Better City: Better Life", and focuses on the new thinking and technologies needed for sustainable city living. New Zealand has plenty to bring to this theme.
We have just 4.3 million people, but 86 per cent of New Zealanders live in cities. We are a dynamic, innovative, and multi-cultural Asia Pacific nation with a real love of the environment and the outdoors.
Every year, many Chinese students study in New Zealand, and over 100,000 Chinese tourists come to our shores and enjoy a 100% Pure New Zealand experience - seeing our beautiful scenery, sampling our unique culture, and tasting our fantastic wine and food.
China is a vital partner for New Zealand. Today, one in 25 New Zealanders has Chinese heritage, and the links between our people continue to grow. The New Zealand China Free Trade Agreement is a world first and is bringing big rewards for trade and business in both countries. We look forward to building on our relationship in the years ahead.
In the meantime, I'd like to invite our friends from China and around the world to visit our pavilion. It's designed to reflect New Zealand's stunning beauty, introduce our friendly people, and showcase the innovation, creativity, and talent we have to offer. We're looking forward to showing you all around our pavilion.
Week 8 Business Interview
8-1 Interview of Mr. McIntyre, President of GE (China) Reporter：今天我们的客人是美国通用电气中国公司的总裁麦金泰先生。麦金泰先生1988年6月来到中国，对远东并不陌生。事实上这是他第二次来北京任职。在此之前他也在东京和新加坡工作过。麦金泰先生，欢迎您到我们的录音室来。
McIntyre: Thank you. I am pleased to be here to share with your listeners some of my experience and our company’s business activities in China.
Reporter：好的。您曾经自我介绍说您是麦金泰先生。您这个中国名字是怎么来的？
McIntyre: Very interesting question. My wife selected the name. She is originally “Shanghainese” and wanted to make sure I had a good Chinese name. Reporter：她的确给您起了个好名字。麦金泰先生，您在美国通用电气公司多少年了？
McIntyre: I have been with GE for over 20 years and had a number of positions in manufacturing, marketing, sales, strategy planning and new business development.
Reporter：您在GE的工作时间很长，经验丰富。我们想听听你们公司在90年代的主要战略。
McIntyre: GE is truly a global company in the top ten in the world in market valuation. GE has operations all over the world and is particularly complex in that it is not a one product company. We have thirteen major businesses ranging from aircraft engines to turbine generators to plastics and appliances. As a goal, we want each of our businesses to be No. 1 or No.2 in the USA.
McIntyre: Our long term survival depends on this success as more and more competitors enter the USA market. Achieving and maintaining a No.1 or No.2 market position is also driven by another factor – our continuing every day effort to become more productive and efficient to meet our customer needs and to drive our cost down. We must make the best product in the most productive way. Reporter：是的，我明白。不过我得说，这是个很大的挑战。你们怎样做到这一点呢？
McIntyre: Two answers come to mind. One is that we must listen to our customers.
Listen, listen, listen, and then act. Listening and understanding and then performing are not easy. A second answer is people. Listen to our people. This includes: Opening communications. This means to continue to share with our employees the strategies and problems of our businesses to get their full participation in helping develop solutions.
Reporter：听取客户的意见，听取职工的意见，可能这就是成功之道吧？McIntyre: Absolutely.
Reporter：GE是什么时候重返中国的？你们过去曾经在中国设过机构，对吗？McIntyre: Yes. In 1979, GE re-established its business contact with China through
the opening of representative office in Beijing with additional expansion being planned.
Reporter：外国到中国来投资的人感到最难解决的问题之一是怎样使外汇收支平衡。你们解决这个问题有几个办法，如反向贸易、出口等。我对控股公司的想法特别感兴趣。
McIntyre: To begin with, we feel strongly that the problem of balancing foreign exchange for foreign investors is an issue that needs to be addressed prior to signing an investment contract. One way to explore this is to see if there is a market for exports. There may also be other products made in China that can be exported to earn foreign exchanges.
Reporter：麦金泰先生，谢谢您今天来参加我们的节目。我们祝您今后生意更兴隆。
McIntyre: Madam Zhang, thank you for inviting me. I hope this helps the English study of your audience as well as improves understanding of GE’s business ideas.
8-2 About foreign investment in China
Reporter: Hello, Prof. Wang. As we all know, since China adopted the policy of reform and opening up to the outside world in the late 1970s, its economy has enjoyed continuously fast growth ever since. Some top economic experts have claimed that successful utilization of foreign capital is another contributing factor to China’s economy. Do you have any comments on it?
Wang: 好的，我个人也很同意这种说法。事实上，外资在促进我国经济发展上起着很重要的作用。
Reporter: So, I’d like to know how China has attracted foreign capital for the past two decades.
Wang：很好。中国吸收外国资金的形式是贷款、外商直接投资和其它形式的投资，例如：国际租赁、补偿贸易、加工装配贸易等。
Reporter: So far, how many countries and regions have investments in China? The number of source countries and regions is…
Wang：超过170多个国家和地区。
Reporter: I remember that the very first Sino-foreign joint venture was founded in 1980, it demonstrated that China began to intentionally utilize foreign capital. Wang: 是的，在当时，这是一件很大的事情。它也表明了中国把利用外资作为其基本国策的一个重要方面，并且在努力改善这方面的工作。
Reporter: In what areas are the Sino-foreign joint ventures involved?
Wang: 中外合资企业在开始的时候主要进军加工业，继而，便扩大到基础工业和外向型的产业、制造业以及商业、金融业、信息业、咨询服务、房地产业和其他领域。
Reporter: We have noticed that most Sino-foreign enterprises are located in the coastal cities. Can you tell us why?
Wang: 因为这些地方比大多数的内陆城市开放的要早，而且当地政府同时也更加重视基础设施建设。
Reporter: But in recent years, China’s investment has improved a great deal in general.
Wang: 所以，有一些这类企业也逐渐到内地城市落户。一些国际财团和跨国公司纷纷来到中国。在全世界跨国公司五百强中，就有近四百家公司在中国投资，这是根据中央电视台最近的一篇报道。
8-3 Interview of Jack Ma
CHARLIE ROSE: So what was it about you and creating these companies?
JACK MA: Well, I started the first Internet company in China in 1995 called https://www.wendangku.net/doc/d68558632.html,. Just by accident I came to the United States and I found Internet. Wow, this something is going to change the world, so I started the business – CHARLIE ROSE: You knew it was going to change the world and you saw it? JACK MA: Yes. I think this thing is going to be huge, by honestly I do not know after 15 years that would grow that fast. And I work for myself for three years and compete with China Telecom, the SOE, State Owned Enterprise. And then the startup failed, and then joined Government for 14 months and then started Alibaba. Till today, I think what we want to do with the business is that when I was entrepreneur, small tiny business, nobody helped us. So when we grow we say, well, China needs a lot of jobs, China needs a lot of small-and-medium sized companies. China needs a lot of entrepreneurs. And what's the best way to help them? Internet. So then we focused on helping the others. And because we helped more people and then more people helped us. Then the business really grew.
CHARLIE ROSE: You are an apostle for small business?
JACK MA: I'm a strong believer. It's my religion. Helping the small businesses. CHARLIE ROSE: It's your religion?
JACK MA: It's my religion. I think it's a great honor for us that we were born in this stage doing Internet. And we suddenly realized we can help so many people. Especially SMEs, and it's all about family, it's all about family hope and dreams. So, you know, I think I'm very honored, that it's just a great honor of this life that you can influence so many families just by using the technology.
CHARLIE ROSE: Where is Alibaba going?
JACK MA: Still focused on e-commerce, SME and the consumer market and I think we become the infrastructure of China e-commerce. You know, e-commerce in the States is a dessert, but in China it's become a main course because the infrastructure of doing business in China is so bad. The infrastructure of doing business in the States is so good. So it's very difficult for a pure e-commerce company to grow that big in the States. But in China, just like mobile phones. Ten, 15 years ago the infrastructure of Telecommunication was so bad. Then mobile phone bang in China. Today, E-commerce, same thing. So I think the best that came into this world is helping the others through making money through e-commerce.
Week 9 Business Strategy
9-1 GM公司战略
The primary goal of General Motors in China over the coming year is clear: to diversify and renew our line of products. We intend to cover the complete customer spectrum in China and meet worldwide standards with our new local products. GM’s highlight at the Auto China 2005 is the market introduction of its latest SUV model. It marks the beginning of the process of product renewal and expansion at GM China. The new SUV model, in its long version, was especially developed for the requirements of the Chinese market.
As the buying power of Chinese household increases and the costs associated with car ownership decrease, we are observing a rise in the number of private customers. Private consumers today accounts for approximately 30% of automobile buyers in China. In the years to come, private customers will make up over half of the market. Meeting this growing private demand is a priority for GM. In this year, GM will introduce a so-called ‘Driving Fun’ campaign in China that meets the requirements of families for modern, yet affordable and reliable passenger cars.
On a foundation of seeking a win-win situation for both GM and its business partners in China, we developed a strategic roadmap comprised of five principles. These five principles govern all we do in China: first, we are committed to investing in China for the long term. Second, that commitment means we will bring state-of-the-art technology to China and establish transfer and training programs to keep the technology current. Third, GM China fosters local management, talent and know-how. Forth, we will develop both complete vehicles and components in China. Fifth, GM will help to integrate its Chinese partners into the world market. Action speaks louder than words. And we are doing more in China in the future than we ever have.
9-2 Merck 公司战略（高口第三版P143，第四版P131）
I have been asked this morning to share a few thoughts on the state of the pharmaceutical industry, and that's a pretty daunting task when you think about it. In an industry that is so fragmented, there is obviously likely to be fragmented opinion on how the industry is doing. So I’m not going to spend that much time today discussing the current state of the industry. Instead, what I’d like to do is focus on how Merck is doing. Specifically, I will describe how Merck is pursuing a growth strategy that is grounded in the belief that innovation is the key to global success.
To succeed, we need a winning strategy that will make us unique and set us apart, and one that will give us a clear competitive advantage. At Merck, we believe that a commitment to innovation is important for global success today. Innovation as a strategy can be high risk. But as a means to grow and compete in today's global economy, innovation offers, I believe, the highest return. Because Merck is a research-based pharmaceutical company, it should come as no surprise that innovation
plays a central role in our strategy for growth.
Our strategy is to discover truly innovative medicines through breakthrough research that are unique-in-class and have proven health outcomes. We focus on medicines on diseases with large patient populations worldwide, taking advantage of new knowledge about pathways of diseases, and using that new knowledge to come up with a novel drug. And we look for drugs that are highly potent and highly specific and that are oral and once-a-day --- and therefore easy to use.
9-3 Henkel公司战略
One of the many challenges facing Henkel in China is firstly to attract the best staff, and then to keep them in the company. To do this, Henkel offers incentives such as housing loans.
As important is training. Henkel has established the Henkel Jiao Tong Management Training Center in Shanghai, providing 1000 training days for managerial staff from Henkel’s joint venture partners around Asia to develop their skills in administration, sales, marketing, product development and application technology.
A cornerstone of Henkel’s policy in a multi-cultural environment is to train local staff. Generally at the beginning, they lack to some extent the education and experience to allow them to deal with the needs of a market-driven economy, therefore, training is very important.
As one of the first consumer branded companies to enter the Chinese market in the early 1990s, Henkel places much store on its acceptance in the market place. A DM 500,000 donation to help restore a part of the Great Wall had enhanced its image.
Ultimately, it is the product itself that counts most. Unlike other exporting companies, Henkel produces in the markets where they sell for the local market. Product lines are specially designed for local consumers, and an important strategy, especially in the detergent and cosmetics sector, has been to develop local brands enhanced by Henkel technology. That means the company could offer a product of higher quality and better value for money. While the strategy has helped Henkel become the biggest detergent producer in China, huge potential still exists: the per capital annual use of detergent in developed countries is 7-12 kilograms a year, while in China, it is 1-2 kilograms.
Week 10 International Exhibition

Part II 实践与实战 11.1.中医的魅力口译基础P198 音频位置：实践与实战11.1 如今，隔三差五坐飞机来北京看中医的外国人屡见不鲜。日前，一位患病的美国医生给北京中医医院打来越洋长途，跟内科专家张志真预约下次看病的时间。不愿接受激素治疗的他，每三个月坐着飞机到中国来看一次中医，因为确实见效，已坚持了一年多。像这样的外国人还有很多，他们中有带着病寻访名医的；有旅游累了让中医给放松放松的；也有“小病大养”，要求在这里住院，顺便享受一下药膳和药浴的；还有什么病都没有，就为专程来瞧瞧中医是怎么看病的。在他们眼里，中医的针灸推拿是那么神秘和优雅。 不远万里看中医，外籍患者的病可谓五花八门。大到肿瘤，心脏病，小到失眠，肥胖。各国对中医中药的了解也不尽相同，日本人特别信按摩推拿，欧洲人对针灸情有独钟，美国人爱拔火罐。时间一长，大夫们总结出外国人看中医的一些规律：圣诞节前后是他们就诊的高峰期，好多人都是利用长假来中国旅游加看病。 外国人对中医中药表现出的虔诚出乎中医大夫们的意料。一位喀麦隆患者吃过中药后，称中药为“苦咖啡”，并告诉同伴喝“苦咖啡”是一种享受。皮肤科医生告诉一位法国牛皮癣患者应该注意饮食，病人立刻掏出小本，将什么能吃，什么不能吃一字不落地开出单子。看来，中医的魅力还真的不小。 11.1.中医的魅力译文 Many foreigners fly to Beijing for traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) treatment. The other day, an American patient made a long-distance phone call for a reservation with Doctor Zhang Zhizhen at Beijing Chinese Medical Hospital. Instead of using hormones, he has flown to China every three months for Chinese medical treatment. And it has worked. He kept seeing Chinese doctors for over a year. He is not alone. Some foreigners seek famous doctors for treatment, some just feel tired in their travel and want relaxation through TCM, some simply want to enjoy medical food and baths, and some come all the way here just to see how people are treated with TCM. In their eyes, TCM, like massage and cupping, are very mysterious and graceful. Their diseases are varied, like tumors, heart disease, insomnia and obesity. Their understanding of TCM also differs: Japanese believe in massage, Europeans favor acupuncture, Americans like cupping. Some experienced doctors find the time before and after Christmas is the peak season for treatment, because during the holiday the foreign patients can travel to China to see a doctor. The foreigners’ devotion is beyond TCM doctors’ expectation. A Cameroonian patient called TCM “bitter coffee”, and recommended it to his countrymen as a sort of enjoyment. A psoriasis patient from France, when being given by the doctor some tips on diet, carefully noted down every word of the instruction. These examples can show how much fascination TCM has.

But these days that cannot be achieved without a production presence in China, which has suddenly found itself catapulted into the position of the world's largest vehicle market by the blood bath in the US car market. 菲亚特似乎有意主宰全球汽车工业.但如今, 如果在中国没有生产业务, 这一点也无法实现. 随着美国汽车市场哀鸿遍野,中国突然发现自己已晋升为全球最大的汽车市场. 2 So now comes news that the Italian car company is talking to one of Beijing's favourite Chinese carmakers, Guangzhou Automobile, about a production joint venture. This would get Fiat back into China, after the joint venture with Nanjing Auto fell apart in 2007. 所以,现在有新闻报道,这个意大利汽车公司正与北京最热门的国产汽车制造商之一---广汽,商谈组建合资生产企业.这将带领菲亚特重回中国市场. 此前,该公司与与南京汽车的合资企业于07年解体. 3 Fiat is not talking about its plans for China, the only current bright spot in the world car industry. But Guangzhou Auto yesterday confirmed to the Financial Times that it is talking to Fiat about technical co-operation that “would not exclude the possibility of forming a joint ve nture”. The outlines of a potential deal are there for all to see on the website of the Chinese Ministry of Environmental Protection, which posted a notice in March that Fiat and Guangzhou Auto are discussing a Rmb4.27bn ($626m) joint venture. The official Shanghai Securities News says the venture could be approved within weeks and would produce 140,000 vehicles and 220,000 engines annually from 2011. 菲亚特并没有谈及其在中国的计划. 中国是目前全球汽车工业唯一一个亮点.但昨天, 广汽已向<<金融时报>>证实,目前它正与菲商谈技术合作事宜. 该技术合作将不排除组建合资公司的可能性. 中国环保局网站里公布了一个潜在合作意向的大纲, 并于三月份发布了一份公告,称菲和广汽正讨论设立一家总投资为人民币42.7亿元人民币（合6.26亿美元）的合资企业。官方媒体上海证券新闻报称,该合资企业可能在数周内获批,并于2011年开始, 每年生产140000辆整车以及220000发动机.

P23页 1. I said this morning that today would be an opportunity for our nations, both individually and collectively, to make concrete commitments and take tangible steps to secure nuclear materials so they never fall into the hands of terrorists who would surely use them. 2. This evening, I can report that we have seized this opportunity, and because of the steps we’ve taken--as individual nations and as an international community--the American people will be safer and the world will be more secure. 3. I want to thank all who participated in this historic summit -- 49 leaders from every region of the world. Today’s progress was possible because these leaders came not simply to talk, but to take action; not simply to make vague pledges of future action, but to commit to meaningful steps that they are prepared to implement right now. 4. I also want to thank my colleagues for the candor and cooperative spirit that they brought to the discussions. This was not a day of long speeches or lectures on what other nations must do. We listened to each other, with mutual respect. We recognized that while different countries face different challenges, we have a mutual interest in securing these dangerous materials. P52页 1.

When stock markets fall in Hong Kong or Jakarta, the effects are no longer local; they are global. The vibrant growth of your own economy is tied closely, therefore, to the restoration of stability and growth in the Asia Pacific region. 2. China has steadfastly shouldered its responsibilities to the region and the world in this latest financial crisis -- helping to prevent another cycle of dangerous devaluations. We must continue to work together to counter this threat to the global financial system and to the growth and prosperity which should be embracing all of this region. 3. In each of these vital areas that I have mentioned, we can clearly accomplish so much more by walking together rather than standing apart. That is why we should work to see that the productive relationship we now enjoy blossoms into a fuller partnership in the new century. 4. If that is to happen, it is very important that we understand each other better, that we understand both our common interest and our shared aspirations and our honest differences. I believe the kind of open, direct exchange can both clarify and narrow our differences, and, more important, by allowing people to understand and debate and discuss these things can give a greater sense of confidence to our people that we can make a better future.

口译考试准备
上海中级口译考试怎样准备？ 中口考试分为两阶段。第一阶段笔试，一般在每年3月和9月中旬周日下午，时间150分钟，总分250分。共分四部分： 第一部分听力90分，分为三部分，均为30分。Part A是复合式听写，20个空，跟四六级考试有点类似，但区别在于全文只能听一遍，每个空要填2-4个单词，语速大约130词/分。Part B是听力理解，包括单句理解，长对话和短文。单句理解就是从四个选项中找出和所听到的句子意思最接近的一个，长对话和短文与四六级差不多。Part C是听译，分为单句听译和篇章听译，都是英译汉，即听力放英语句子和文章，然后留出一段时间，考生写出汉语翻译。 第二部分阅读60分，六篇文章，每篇文章后5个选择题。 第三部分英译汉50分，第四部分汉译英50分，要求考生不借助任何词典、参考资料和其它媒介，将一篇长度为180个单词（汉字）左右的英（汉）语文章段落译成汉（英）语。译文需忠实原文的意思，且语言通顺，符合译语规范。 合格为150分。凡第一阶段合格的考生方可参加第二阶段口试。笔试成绩两年内有效，即笔试通过后可以参加四次口试，只要任何一次通过即可拿到口译证书。 第二阶段口试，每年5月和11月，共分两部分：口语与口译。口语部分要求考生就指定话题作三分钟左右的命题发言，话题后面有三个提示问题，但不要求一定要按照问题阐述观点。考生拿到口语试题后有五分钟的准备时间。口译分英译汉和汉译英两部分，每部分均要求口译主题各不相同的两个段落。各两段，每段四断，每断两或三句，每断单独评分。答对11句及以上可以通过。 考生只有在通过笔试和口试两个阶段以后才能获得《上海市英语中级口译岗位资格证书》。考试的指定培训教材：《中级听力教程》（周国强编著），《中级阅读教程》（陈汉生编著），《中级翻译教程》（孙万彪、冯慎宇编著），《中级口语教程》（严诚忠、朱妙南编著），《中级口译教程》（梅德明编著），均由上海外语教育出版社出版。听力和口译教程配有磁带，mp3网上可以下载到。 推荐参考书：《中级口译真题解析》，同济大学出版社，内有八套真题并配有详细解析，必买；新东方口试考试培训班指定辅导用书系列，汪海涛、邱政政主编，世界图书出版公司，一套四本，中口用到《词汇必备》，《口试备考精要》和《中口笔试备考精要》三本；《英语中级口译实用教程》，康志峰主编，华东理工大学出版社；《英语中高级口译笔试冲刺》和《口试导考》，都是谭宝泉编著，前者是上海译文出版社，后者是东华大学出版社；《实战口译》，（英）林超伦编著，外语教学与研究出版社，讲口译速记符号的。 考试准备 1.背单词 单词是肯定要背的。口译的准备一般从寒假开始，这时离你四六级考试或英语期末考试结束已经有一段时间了，背单词可以唤醒你丧失的英语记忆。而且上面也提到口译单词涉及到诸多方面，其中绝大部分都是具有中国特色、与我国现阶段国情紧密相关的，社会实用性很强，这些都是大学英语教学所欠缺的。有些单词你可能以前都没有接触过，通过背单词，可以初步了解口译考试的考点。 我用的是新东方的《中/高级口译考试词汇必备》，这也是迄今为止我所知道的最好的口译单词书。它打破了单词书按字母顺序编写的常规，将口译常用单词和词组分为若干类，既有英译中，也有中译英，充分考虑了口译的双向性。所选内容除了来自教程外，还参考了国内外多种资料和媒体，很多翻译（特别是对外口径）都是“权威”表达。 背单词点到为止，千万不要花太多时间，毕竟考试不是考默写单词。另外这本单词书有不少
