Presenting gifts is one of the important contents of modern business activities, in order to establish friendly relations, progress friendship, and also can be applied to advertising and promoting.

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. In the 21st century your generation must also lead the challenge of an international financial system that has no respect for national borders. 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.

China is one of the earliest cradles of civilization and the visit to this ancient nation has long been my dream. This visit will give me an excellent opportunity to meet old friends and establish new contacts. I wish to say again that I am so delighted and privileged to visit your great country and this lovely town. I am deeply grateful for everything you have done for me since my arrival in China. As an American manager of a Sino-American joint venture for two years, I have to say that there are differences in business management practice between Chinese and Americans. We are more direct and straightforward than most Chinese colleagues due to our different cultural traditions. I can't say our way of doing business is absolutely superior. After all, there are strong points and weak points in both types of management. In recent years, more and more American business executives have recognized the strong points of the more humane way of Chinese management. It is a great pleasure that I can exchange views and information with you, and reach common ground here. And I wish to share with you my thoughts on this topic in the days to come. Thank you! 尊敬的各位来宾，女士们，先生们： 非常感谢你们热情友好的欢迎词。中国是最古老的文明发源地之一，访问这个文明古国是我多年梦寐以求的愿望。这次访问使我有机会重见老朋友，结交新朋友。我为自己能访问贵国和这座美丽的城市，再次表达我的愉快之情和荣幸之感。我对你们为我到达贵国后所做的安排深表谢意。 作为在一家中美合资企业工作了两年的美国经理，我认为中国人和美国人在经营管理中存在着差异。基于不同的文化传统，我们的美国同事比大部分中国同行来得直率。我无法断言我们美国的经营方式一定在中国之上。毕竟各有各的优点和弊病。近年来，越来越多的美国管理人员已经认识到中国人那种更具人情味的管理方式的长处。 很高兴我们能交换意见和信息，并达成共识。我希望在今后的日子里，我能有机会就
商务英语口译 Unit 1 Passage 3
Passage 3 Yesterday we went through the main ponts of the proposal joint venture. Now you have seen the factory. Shall we discuss technology transfer briefly? Ah, I'm just coming to that. If you want the products to compete successfully on the international market, you'll have to acquire advanced technology. Certainly, the technology to be imported should be advanced and appropriate to China's needs. Excuse me, Mr. Zhao, when you say imported technology, what does the word "technology" refer to? Naturally it doesn't merely refer to industrial property. Know-how is also included. We agree, but the know-how we promise to transfer to the joint venture company is what we are adopting in our production at the moment, and you'll pay for it in the form of royalties apart from a certain initial down payment, right? Yes, and at the same time we also expect that in the duration of the joint venture , you can continue offering us your improved technological expertise. As to the price of technology, the minimum generally accepted is 5% of the sales price of all licensed items made and sold during the term of the agreement, in addition to an initial down payment of USD100,000. I'm afraid both the royalty rate and the initial down payment amount are too high. I'm sure you can understand that the company will have a tough time in the initial stages of cooperation----low yield, possibly unstable quality, high expenses. How could the joint venture bear such a heavy additional load each year? This would certainly break the back of the company. The initial down payment cannot be reduced, but we may consider lowering the royalty rate a bit little. In addition, even the sum of USD100,000 hardly covers all the expenses spent on technological information, drawings , personnel training, etc; not to mention the travelling expenses we'll have to pay for this job of technology transfer. Well, it could work if the first two years of production were exempt from royalty and if the rate came down to 3% of the net sales price. How long will the term of agreement be? Generally not longer than 10 years. We will accept your proposal to begin royalty payments in the third production year to show that we want to cooperate. "To render good for good", as the Chinese saying goes, we agree to the amount of USD100,000 as the initial down payment. That's a sign of our sincere desire to venture jointly. And what do you say to the 3 %

Passage 1 Respected Leaders, Distinguished Guests, Dear Friends, Ladies and Gentlemen, In this golden autumn season of October, we welcome in Guangzhou the opening of the 100th Session of China Export Commodity Fair, and our guests and friends from all over the world. At the opening and celebration ceremony of the 100th Session of Chinese Export Commodities Fair, the Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao announced, on behalf of the Chinese government, that as of the 101st session, the Chinese Export Commodities Fair (also known as the "Canton Fair") will be renamed as the China Import and Export Fair, marking a new historical starting point for the Canton Fair. For the last 5 decades the Canton Fair took serving China's foreign trade as its responsibility. Today it has become a comprehensive international trade event in China with the longest history, the largest scale, the biggest variety of exhibits, the largest number of buyers and the highest turnover, and enjoys the reputation as "China's NO.1 Fair". The Canton Fair will be given more extensive and profound connections after being renamed as the China Import and Export Fair. The 2006 Central Economic Working Conference definitely set forth the important task of "vigorously expanding import", which clearly demonstrates the decision for a fundamental transformation in the implementation of the Chinese foreign trade strategy. Just like 50 years ago when China took a robust step forward to inaugurate the fair, Canton fair will assume new tasks and set sail for an even more brilliant destination. Looking into the future, the Canton Fair, standing on a higher position with a wider horizon and a newer vision, will better serve the reform, opening up and the economic construction, and make further contributions to the overall goal of building a harmonious socialist society. In the new historical scenario, as the organizer of the Canton Fair, we at the China Foreign Trade center will continues to follow the philosophy of "Specialization, Market Orientation, Legalization, Industrialization and Internationalization" so as to effectively organize the fair, to endeavor to explore the organizing methods, mode of holding exhibitions and service system to gear ourselves to the new tasks and the higher demands , ans to bring the Fair's experience in conformity with the international practice; we will effectively change our notion, make endeavors to enhance our service awareness, place excellent service as the foundation of our greater success so as to keep the Canton Fair in a new historical period in line with the new situations and the higher demands as the world first-class trade fair. In all sincerity and cordiality, the Canton Fair looks forward to your participation. May the 100th Session of the Chinese Export Commodities Fair be crowned with a complete success!
