If there’s a threat of dangerous deflation—a general fall in prices—the causes lie as much in Europe and Japan as in the United States. The inevitable collapse of America’s speculative boom need not have been especially damaging i f the world’s other advanced economies were healthy. Their expanding appetite for imports would have bolstered the United States and so-called emerging market countries, from Brazil to South Korea. The trouble is that other advanced economies aren’t health y.

Deflation could emerge from simultaneous slumps in the world’s three major economies. Prices drop because there’s too little global demand chasing too much global supply—everything from steel to shoes. Japan’s ills are well known its banks are awas h in bad loans. Less understood (at least in the United States) is the fact the Europe’s troubles stem significantly from Germany. Germany is Europe’s “sick man”, just as Japan is Asia’s. Only 15 years ago, these countries seemed poised to assume leadership of the world economy. Now they are dragging it down.

The expansion of the universities since the beginning of World War II and the great increase in number of college graduates and ph. Ds have produced a corps of technicians, aides, speechwriters, symbol manufactures, investigators, and policy proposers who are now employed by practical men in all institutions. These people, called intellectuals in the sense that they deal with symbols and ideas, have become professionalized in exactly the same sense as the engineer. Unlike the engineer, however, these professional intellectuals are free from much of the routine grind of daily work: they carry light teaching load and enjoy government and foundation grants and subsidies for their research.

The professor’s project budget is the initial economic base that supports his independence within the university. The project budget sustains both the existence of graduate students and the fiscal solvency of the university, which takes a percentage “overhead” out of every project budget. The major feature of project money, whether its source is government or business, is that it is given o n a contractual basis, a different contract for each project, so that the investigator’s independence rests upon his capacity to secure a succession of contracts. The ability to secure contracts is a genuine talent among professional intellectuals.

For 8 years, students at Michigan State University borrowed tuition money directly from the federal government. But last spring, university officials shucked that arrangement and signed up with private lenders and a state agency that provided loans under a separate federal plan. They guaranteed a profit to the university—something the federal government could not do. Sounds sweet for Michigan State, but it's not so terrific for federal taxpayers, who will almost certainly wind up shelling out $23.5 million more each year as a result of the change.

Michigan State is not unique. Today, dozens of colleges and universities are abandoning the Department of Education's direct-loan plan, lured by the promise of a quick buck from banks, state lending agencies, and most significantly, Sallie Mae, the giant private lender based in Reston, Virginia. In all, 62 colleges and universities have dropped out of the Education Department's direct-loan program since 2000, and the list is growing. Sallie Mae has won over $1 billion in loan business from former direct-loan schools.

As individuals and as a nation, we're defined by the choices we make. And too often, by the tough decisions we avoid. Most of us have avoided even thinking about how our rapidly growing population is affecting our quality of life and shaping our society.

Our population has more than doubled since World War II, and at this rate, we could be on our way to 1 billion people living in the United States by the end of the century. Our population growth, driven in part by unchecked immigration, is already straining our healthcare and educational systems and, less noticeably — but far more important — putting a heavy burden on our natural resources.

All these pressures on our resources will only worsen unless our leaders begin a national dialogue on the future of this country and start making the tough choices. Politicians are avoiding debate on these issues because they are the most difficult ones to confront. In campaign debating, these are wedge issues. But failure to come to terms with them will drive a wedge between all of us and a prosperous, healthy future for this country.

Americans have come to expect a lot of their presidents, more perhaps than any can deliver. We say that the president runs the country, but in practice, presidents have trouble running large parts of the government. We hold the president responsible for the economy, even though he has few economic levers at his command. We expect the commander in chief to lead us to victory in war, and then we complain when we think he is micromanaging the military.

And we tend to think of the president as the personification of the nation he leads. Few other democracies combine the position of head of government and head of state. We do, and some of the bitterness of our politics spring from the conviction of many Americans that this of that president does not really represent their country. Yet as we look back at our presidents, we see them less as partisan politicians than as national leaders, who in different ways have helped develop the strengths and virtues of our nation.

There is a growing number of economists who believe today’s b rutally tough labor market is not a temporary American oddity. Falling wages, reduced benefits and rising job insecurity seem to be increasingly entrenched features of the job scene across most of Western Europe, the United States and other parts of the developed world. The number of insecure freelance positions is rising (as are working hours) while stable jobs with good benefits are being cut. Laid-off workers are much less likely to be rehired by their old companies and have to find new jobs or turn to self-employment. Those who still have jobs are working longer hours with little prospect of meaningful raises.

The new labor market is shaped by growing global competition, spurred by the rise of cheap manufacturers in China, India and Eastern Europe, and the price-chopping effect of both the Internet and giant retailers led by Wal-Mart. These forces compel Western companies to exercise a growing restraint on prices and labor cost. One thing globalization clearly does is to exert a leveling effect on wages.

As a scourge of the modern society, obesity has become the world's biggest public-health issue today--the main cause of heart disease, which kills more people these days than AIDS, malaria, war. Since the World Health Organization labeled obesity an "epidemic" in 2000, reports on its fearful consequences have come thick and Fast.

Will public-health warnings, combined with media pressure, persuade people to get thinner, just as they finally put them off tobacco? Possibly. In the rich world, sales of healthier foods are booming and new figures suggest that over the past year Americans got very slightly thinner for the first time in recorded history. But even if Americans are losing a few ounces, it will be many years before the country solves the health problems caused by half a century’s dining to exces s. And, everywhere else in the world, people are still piling on the pounds. That’s why there is now a consensus among doctors that governments should do something to stop them.

The culture of any society is usually thought to be of two kinds: material and nonmaterial. Material culture includes the man-made phenomena which have physical properties such as height, breadth, and weight. A boat, a machine, a house—all these objects are part of the material culture. The nonmaterial culture is that portion of the environment which surrounds man and which has an impact on his behavior but which lacks these material properties: values, beliefs, traditions, and all the other habits and ideas invented and acquired by man as a member of society.

Contemporary sociological theory tends to assign primary importance to the nonmaterial culture in choosing problems for study. It assumes, for example, that boats, planes, automobiles, and so forth, are not nearly so important as the traditions we have developed which make their manufacture possible—indeed, which prescribe how we are to use them. The emphasis of contemporary sociology is to insist that the material culture would not exist had not the nonmaterial culture first been available to suggest the ideas which are embodied in the inventions of material culture.

Back in 1972 $1 million was still an eye-popping amount of cash. But to Robert Hecht, an enterprising American antiquities dealer living in Paris, it was not too much to charge the Metropolitan Museum of Art for an exquisite Greek vase created 500 years before the birth of Christ and painted by one of the acknowledged masters of the craft. Since the acquisition of the Greek vase, the prices of antiquities have shot skyward.

The problem with the burgeoning traffic in antiquities, however, is not so much the price but something far more significant: the provenance, i.e. where are these precious artifacts coming from? And who are their rightful owners? Evidence is increasing that more and more artifacts are being illegally unearthed from their countries of origin. A recent British study of five large collections totaling 546 objects, for instance, determined that 82 percent of the objects were suspect. From Italy to Greece to Turkey, countries have long complained about the trade in smuggled artifacts and have been largely unable to stop it.

Americans do not go in for envy. The gap between rich and poor is bigger than in any other advanced country, but most people are unconcerned. Whereas Europeans fret about the way the economic pie is divided, Americans want to join the rich, not soak them. Eight out of ten, more than anywhere else, believe that though you may start poor, if you work hard, you can make pots of money. It is a central part of the American Dream.

The political consensus, therefore, has sought to pursue economic growth rather than the redistribution of income, in keeping with John Kennedy's adage that "a rising tide lifts all boats." The tide has been rising fast recently. Thanks to a jump in productivity growth after 1995, America's economy has outpaced other rich countries' for a decade. Its workers now produce over 30% more each hour they work than ten years ago. In the late 1990s everybody shared in this boom. Though incomes were rising fastest at the top, all workers' wages far outpaced inflation.

Imagine you have two candidates for a job. There CVs are equally good , and they both handsome. Are you swayed by their appearance?

If you were swayed by someone's looks, would that be wrong? In the past, people often equated beauty with virtue and ugliness with vice.

Even now, the expression "as ugly as sin" has not quite passed from the language. There is, of course, the equally famous expression "beauty is in the eye of the beholder", to counter it. Most beholders agree what is beautiful——and modern biology suggests there is a good rule of thumb for assessing someone of either sex. Not an infallible one. And certainly no substitute for an in-depth investigation. But, nevertheless, an instinctive one, and one that is bound to contribute to the advantage of the physically well endowed.

In a slowing U.S economy, job opportunities are shaped by uncertainty. As president of a small college, I am keenly aware of the job market that awaits this year’s graduates. The recent news that Bear Steams was nullifying a few hundred job offers to business school students fits a pattern of corporate downsizing that isn’t lost on college campuses across the USA. But even with the darkening economic clouds, rays of good news await this year’s graduates. Sure, companies are laying off workers, but many are also looking for new talent, especially at the entry level.

As more than a million entrants flood the job market, students should know that in a global marketplace, language skills will go a long way. So will flexibility. If a grad is ready to accept an entry-l evel job, give a little on job requirements and move if the company asks, chances are he’ll

land a job. So despite the rising job losses, a new graduate should embrace the market as the first challenge of a long career.

In a normal recession, the to-do list is clear. Copies of Keynes are dusted off, the Fed lowers interest rates, the president and Congress cut taxes and hike spending. In time, purchasing, production and loans perk up, and Keynes is placed back on the shelf. No larger alterations to the economy are made, because our economy, but for the occasional bump in the road, is fundamentally sound. This has been the drill in every recession since World War II.

Republicans and Democrats argue over whose taxes should be cut the most and which projects should be funded, but, under public pressure to do something, they usually find some mutually acceptable midpoint and enact a stimulus package. Even in today's hyperpartisan Washington, the odds still favor such a deal.

This time, though, don't expect that to be the end of the story -- because the coming recession will not be normal, and our economy is not fundamentally sound. This time around, the nation will have to craft new versions of some of the reforms that Franklin Roosevelt created to steer the nation out of the Great Depression.

What is a novel? I say: an invented story. At the same time a story which, though invented, has the power to ring true. True to what? True to life as the reader knows life to be or, it may be, feels life to be. And I mean the adult, the grown-up reader. Such a reader has outgrown fairy tales, and we do not want the fantastic and the impossible. So I say to you that a novel must stand up to the adult tests of reality.

You may say:”If one wants truth, why not go to the literally true book? Biography o r documentary, these amazing accounts of amazing experiences which people have.” Yes, but I am suggesting to you that there is a distinction between truth and so-called reality. The novel does not simply recount experience. And here comes in what is the actual livening spark of the novel: the novelist’s imagination has a power of its own. It does not merely invent, it perceives. It intensifies, therefore it gives power, extra importance, and greater truth to what may well be ordinary and everyday things.

The recession has hit middle-income and poor families hardest, widening the economic gap between the richest and poorest Americans as rippling job layoffs ravaged household budgets.

Household income declined across all groups, but at sharper percentage levels for middle-income and poor Americans. Median income fell last year from $52,163 to $50,303, wiping out a decade's worth of gains to hit the lowest level since 1997. Poverty jumped sharply to 13.2 percent, an

11-year high.

No one should be surprised at the increased disparity. Analysts attributed the widening gap to the wave of layoffs in the economic downturn that have devastated household budgets. They said while the richest Americans may be seeing reductions in executive pay, those at the bottom of the income ladder are often unemployed and struggling to get by.

The economic system of the United States is principally one of private ownership. In this system, consumers, producers and government make economic decisions on a daily basis, mainly through the price system. The dynamic interaction of these three groups makes the economic function. Th emarket’s primary force, however, is the interaction of producers and consumers; hence the“market economy” designation.

As a rule, consumers look for the best values for what they spend while producers seek the best price and profit for what they have to sell. Government, at the federal, state, and local level,

seeksto promote public security, assure reasonable competition, and provide a range of services believed to be better performed by public rather than private enterprises.

Generally, there are three kinds of enterprises: single-owner operated businesses, partnerships and corporations. The first two are important, but it is the latter structure that best permits the amassing of large sums of money by combining the investments of many people who, as stockholders, can buy and sell their shares of the business at any time on the open market. Corporations make large-scale enterprises possible.

第二次世界大战以来,大学的数目不断增长,本科、甚至是博士毕业生也与日俱增,从而诞生了大批的技术人员、助手、演讲稿撰写人、徽章生产商、调查人员和政策研究员,他们效力于各类务实的研究所中。这些人员主要解决符号和概念问题,与工程师几乎一样高度专业化,所以人们把它们称为知识分子。然而这些人员与工程师还有所不同——他们不需从事繁重的日常例行工作,仅承担少量教学工作,同时享受政府研究津贴或补贴。

教授项目预算是其最初的经济基础,使得教师得以在大学里保持独立。研究生是否存在,大学是否存在资金偿还能力,这些都取决于项目预算。大学的资金偿还在整个项目预算中占有重要比例。无论来自于政府或商界,项目资金的重要特点是其建立在契约上,即不同的项目可以争取相同的项目资金,因此调研人员要取得独立,就必须得到连续的研究项目。获得研究项目是知识分子的一种真正才能。

八年以来,密歇根大学所需的学费贷款一直来自联邦政府。但是去年春天,该大学决定停止办理这种贷款,而改为与一些私人贷款方和机构合作,由他们另行提供贷款。密歇根大学这样做,可以保证自己获益,而联邦政府却做不到这一点。对于密歇根来说,这当然是件好事。可是联邦纳税人可没这么幸运了。他们不得不因此每年多支付2350万美元。

实际上,密歇根并非唯一实施这种贷款政策的州。现在,几十所大学放弃了与教育部的直接贷款计划。之所以这样做,是因为他们看中了银行、州立贷款机构所许诺的快速回报。Sallie Mae是其中的重要代表,其总部位于弗吉尼亚州莱斯顿市,是一家庞大的私有贷款机构。自2000年以来,已有62所大学放弃了与教育部的直接贷款计划。现在有越来越多的大学逐渐加入其中。目前,Sallie Mae已经从联邦政府手中赢得了总额达10亿美元以上的贷款业务。

The diversified culture of Hong Kong is attributed to its special history and location. The art carnival hosted by the government annually has provided a broad stage for the local artists to exhibit their originality and encouraged more people to get involved in the production of cultural and art works, thus making a lot of innovations and breakthroughs for the boom of the Chinese culture.

越来越多的经济学家认为当今美国劳动力市场竞争异常残酷激烈,这不只是一时的怪现状。在大多西欧国家、美国及其他发达国家,降薪、福利削减、工作稳定性下降似乎已经成为就业市场越来越难以改变的痼疾。不稳定的自由职业岗位增多(工作时间同样延长),而稳定福利好的工作机会减少。一旦失业,人们很难被旧东家重聘,所以不得不找份新工作或者自己创业。而那些尚留在工作岗位上的人员工作时间加长,然而他们加薪前景微乎其微。

中国、印度、东欧各国劳动力价格低廉,互联网和零售巨头(比如沃尔玛)把商品价格一降再降,这就使得全球竞争日益严重。进而,深刻的改变了原来的劳动力市场。结果,西方国家各家公司既要压低商品的价格,又要尽量削减成本。很明显,全球化让全世界的提薪之日遥遥无期。

In China, there is an old saying which goes like this, “Long distance never separates close friends.” A ready link connecting this country and many other ones, like the Silk Road, in Asia and Europe helps a lot in bringing about the splendid civilization in Asia and the frequent exchanges and communication between China and the Continent in the past years. Now, we are going a step further in our cooperation based on mutual benefits, enjoying a brand-new bilateral relation.

作为现代社会的一个祸害,肥胖已成为当今世界最大的公共健康问题。肥胖是引起心脏病的主要原因,现今因心脏病致死的人数已超过死于艾滋病、疟疾、战争的人数。自从世界卫生组织于2000 年将肥胖症定为“流行病”以来,已经连篇累牍地发表了有关肥胖症引起可怕后果的报告。

对肥胖症发出的公共卫生警示,加上传媒宣传所形成的压力,是否会像最终促使烟民们戒烟那样,说服人们去减肥呢?这有可能。在富裕国家,健康食品的销量正在大幅上升,而且新的数据表明,在过去的一年美国人的体重有史以来首次略有下降。

但是即使美国人是瘦了一点,美国要解决因半个世纪以来饮食过度而造成的健康问题,还需要许多年时间。况且,在世界各地,人们的体重仍在增加。这就是为什么现在医生们一致认为各国政府应采取措施来制止人们发胖。

任何社会的文化一般都被分为两类:物质文化和非物质文化。物质文化包括具有高度、宽度和重量等物理属性的人为现象。/船、机器和房屋――所有这些东西都被归为物质文化的一部分。非物质文化则是人类所处环境的一部分,它影响着人类的行为却缺乏上述的那些物质属性,非物质文化是人作为社会一员所创立和获得的价值观、信仰、传统观念及一切其他习惯和思想。

当代社会学理论在选择说要研究的问题时,往往侧重于非物质文化。比如,社会学理论认为船、飞机、汽车等物品的重要性远不如人们为制造这些东西——确切地说是为规定其使用方法而形成的传统观念的重要性。当代社会学所强调的是,不若是先有了能孕育物质文化的非物质文化,物质文化就无从产生。

在1972 年,100 万美元可真是一大笔钱。但对于住在巴黎的经营有方的美国古董商罗伯特?海克特而言, 将一个古希腊花瓶卖给纽约大都会博物馆,他的开价并不算高。这只精美花瓶的制作比耶稣诞生还要早500 年,是由当时一个公认的美术大家绘制的。自从收购这只希腊花瓶以来,古董的价格一路飙升。

然而,日益兴盛的古董买卖,其问题不在于价格离谱,而是远比价格更为重要的事情,那就是古董的来源。这些稀世珍宝来自何方?谁是其合法拥有者?日益增多的证据表明,越来越多的文物正在其所在国被非法挖掘。例如,最近英国对总数达546 件文物的五大收藏进行了研究,确定其中82% (的文物)来源可疑。从意大利到希腊到土耳其,许多国家长期来一直在抱怨走私文物交易,却多半无法加以阻止。

美国人心态很平和。他们并不太在意各自收入间的差别,尽管事实上没有哪个别的发达国家的贫富差距像美国这么大。这和欧洲人截然不同。欧洲人对全民收入的分配很是上心。美国人则不一样,他们是想要成为富人,而对打垮富人并无兴趣。十有八九的国民坚信即使出身贫寒,只要通过努力,也能飞黄腾达。这不正是美国梦的精髓所在吗?

于是美国政界一致认为,与其回过头来均分财富,还不如实现经济的增长。这也和美国前总统约翰.肯尼迪的那句“水涨船高”不谋而合。美国经济这十几年的增长速度不可谓不快。随着1995年以来生产率的飞涨,美国经济的发展十二年来一直领先于其他强国,如今的生产效率是十年前的1.3倍。在上世纪的最后十年,所有公民都从中尝到了甜头。尽管那些高收入者获益更大,但所有人的工资增长幅度都远大于通货膨胀的速度。

Despite the tremendous growth we are witnessing in China today, the country is still faced with a large population, a weak economic foundation and rather uneven development. It is still, as it were, the largest developing country in the world. China’s major focus, therefore, is on socio-economic development and continued improvement of people’s livelihood. The only way to achieve prosperity for China and happiness for its people is by sticking to the path of peaceful development.

让我们来做个假设:现在一份职位面前有两个候选人。从简历上看他们旗鼓相当不相上下,而且两人都举止得体、大方端庄。那么,你的判断会受到两人相貌的左右吗?

就算你的决定的确受到了他们外貌的影响,那又算不算错呢?在过去,我们总是把美貌

等同于真善美,而把丑陋视作假恶丑。

即使时至今日,"丑如罪恶"这种表达也没有被人遗忘。当然了,对美丽也有类似的说法,比如"情人眼里出西施"就能与之相对。的确,大多数人的审美观都相似,而且现代生物学研究也证明了人在评定异性的美丑时标准都很一致。这并不是绝对真理,也没有其它的深入研究能够辅助证明。但无论如何,以貌取人是种本能,并且一定会有利于那些天生丽质的人们。

若只是寻常的经济萧条,那应对方案一目了然:翻出久违的凯恩斯著作,联邦政府降低利率,总统及国会一面减税,一面增加财政支出。假以时日,购买力激升,生产力急速飞涨,贷款数随之猛增。凯恩斯的作品重获关注。美国的经济并非一帆风顺,但总的来说还不错,并不需要对经济体制做出大刀阔斧的改革。所以第二次世界大战之后,我们一直照此方案应对经济危机。

政府应为哪些阶层多减税,为哪些项目提供资助,这些是共和党和民主党长期争论的话题。公众要求他们付诸于行动的舆论压力下,政府往往实施双方都可接受的折衷方案,达到推动经济进步的目的。即使到了党派分歧严重的今时今日,政府仍希望找到此种方案。然而这次的萧条非比平常,所以事情就不那么简单。从本质上说,我们的经济确有弊端。因此要动用一些富兰克林·罗斯福当年的改革措施,还需做到与时俱进。才能力挽狂澜、扭转乾坤,最终拨得云开见日出。

小说是什么?我认为是人们创造出来的故事。同时尽管是创造出来的故事,但是小说仍然有一种力量能够让人听上去感觉像真的一样。真的像什么呢?就像读者所知道的那种生活或者可能的生活样子,像他们所感觉的那种生活。当然我指的是对于成熟的成年读者而言。像我们这样的成年读者已经足够长大,不再相信童话故事,不再需要奇异幻想和那些不可能发生的事情。所以我对你说,小说必须要成熟起来,能够让成年人将之放在生活中试验。

你或许会说:“如果一个人需要事实,他为什么不去看完完全全真实的书呢?自传或者纪录片里都是些令人惊异的真人真事的描述。这当然正确,但是我对你的建议是事实和所谓的现实之间有着本质的区别。小说并不仅仅只是叙述人们的经历,小说会添加人们的经历。而这一点正是小说所具有的活力火花:小说家的想象力有其自己强大的力量。借助这种想象力小说家并不仅仅创造,他们去感知。这种想象力不断增强,给原本普普通通的日常生活注入一股力量,使它们变得额外地重要,变得更加地真实。

经济衰退给予中等收入家庭和贫困家庭的打击最为沉重,由于岗位裁员使得失业家庭的开支锐减,进而拉大了美国最富有的人与最贫困的人在经济上的差距。社会各阶层的家庭收入普遍下降,但是中等收入和贫穷的美国人的收入下降的百分比更大。去年,中位收入从52,163美元下降到50,303美元,相当于十年的收益一笔勾销,达到1997年以来的最低水平。贫困人口飙升至百分之十三点二,为11年来的新高。

对于业已增大的收入差距,人们不应感到惊讶。分析家把日益扩大的收入差距归咎于经济下滑引起的裁员潮。他们说,虽然美国最富有的人,其高管的薪资也有可能有所削减,但是收入最低的人则往往失业,为生计苦苦挣扎。联邦政府正在酝酿新的法规来制约其投资的公司中高管的薪酬。总统还特别提出需要提高富人的纳税,用以支付医疗改革和其他措施的费用。

美国的经济制度主要是私有制经济,其中,消费者、生产者和政府每天都做出经济决策,主要是通过价格体系。正是这三者之间的互相能动关系才使经济得以运转。然而,市场的主要动力来自生产者和消费者之间,因而就有了“市场经济”这个名称。

通常,消费者花钱买东西,总想得到最大的价值;而生产者则想从所卖出均产品上获得最高的价钱和利润。联邦、州和地方各级政府要做的是增强公众的安全感,确保公平竞争,并提供一系列服务,相信这些服务性事业由公有企业来办要比私人企业来办更好。

一般说来,企业分为三种:个体业主开办经营的企业、合伙企业和股份公司。前两者很重要,但最后一种企业才可以把许多人的投资筹集到一起聚成巨额资金。那些人作为股东,可以随时在公开市场上买卖所持股票。公司制企业使开办大型企业成为可能。

Unit one people Reading A Introduction 王后是一个国家的女性统治者,或是一个国王封号最高的妻子。王后是一位当政国王之妻的合适称谓,而皇太后是前任的王后,她的子女现在统治着国家,当朝女王以她自己的名字统治着国家。例如,当大英帝国的国王乔治六世于1936年登上王位,他的妻子伊丽莎白成为王后以及他的母亲,皇后玛丽,乔治五世的遗孀成为皇太后。当乔治六世死后,她的长女作为伊丽莎白二世成为当朝女王。 伊丽莎白二世出生于1926年4月21日,伦敦。她的生日在英国官方庆祝于每年的六月第三个星期六。女王伊丽莎白二世是一位“立宪君主”,就是,虽然她官方上是英国最高领导人,但国家实际上是由首相领导的政府统治。女王住在白金汉宫。女王伊丽莎白二世在她父亲国王乔治六世死后于1952年2月6日登基称帝。她的加冕礼紧随其后在1953年6月2日威斯敏斯特教堂举行。2002年,女王庆祝她的金色庆典(自她登基50年)。自征服者威廉收复英格兰,女王伊丽莎白二世是第四十个君主。自1952年,女王授予了超过387,700项荣誉和奖项。女王私人举办了超过540次授权仪式。 女王讲流利的法语,并且经常使用各种语言为了会见和访问。她陛下不需要翻译官。在她当政期间,女王接收了超过三百万的项目和信件。在她当政过程中,超过1.1百万人参加了白金汉宫的花园派对。 在她当政期间,她陛下给十位英国首相开星期二晚上的例行会议。他们是:温斯顿·丘吉尔(1951-55),安东尼·艾登爵士(1955-57),哈罗德·艾克米伦(1957-63),亚力克·道格拉斯-霍姆爵士(1963-64),哈罗德·威尔逊(1964-70,1974-76),爱德华·希思(1970-74),詹姆斯·卡拉汉(1976-1979),玛格丽特·撒切尔(1979-90),约翰·梅杰(1990-97),托尼·布莱尔(1997-2007.6),戈登·布朗(2007.7-现在)。 虽然伊丽莎白大多数的角色只是象征性的,但她也十分巧妙地行使着一种个人但很真实的权力。 伊丽莎白二世 1、在1952年2月6日,英国首相温斯顿·丘吉尔听说国王乔治六世死了,他心烦意乱。他的秘书,约翰·科尔维尔,试着通过确保他能很好地与新王后伊丽莎白相处:“但他所能说的就是,他不了解她,以及她只是个孩子。”那时,她才25岁。一年后,以为皇家助手向外吐露,丘吉尔十分喜欢她以至于他能“很少谈到她时,没有热泪盈眶”。 2、丘吉尔和他女王之间的融洽关系是很明显的——她,一位严肃年轻的女子,有着众所周知的美貌,聪明机智以及热爱舞蹈;他,一位伟大的演说家和战争领导者,乐此不疲地用英国政治的方式教育他的君主。他们的会见持续很长时间,远远超过他们惯常的半小时约定。当他1955年告知她要辞职的意愿,通过女王的秘书,他知道了“她将会特别想念每周的会面,因为会面十分具有教育意义,也不会有人像丘吉尔那样把国家大大小小的事情说得如此的有意思。”丘吉尔他自己也很享受:科尔维尔说,在他81岁退休时,他“疯狂的爱上了”她。 3、现在女王81岁了,这周是她第五次踏上美国领土。她六天的旅行会包括:去佛吉尼亚庆祝詹姆斯敦定居400周年,访问肯塔基州以及和总统乔治布什——她作为女王碰到的第十个

Information and communications are central to modem society and organizations. One approach to understand the working environment is to consider an organization as a communications system. An organization that has open lines of communication with valid, honest information going up, down, and throughout the organization will be much more effective and a much better place to work than the organization that attempts to restrict the flow of information or distort and deceive. When leadership attempts to keep workers in the dark, workers tend to become distrustful. This undermines their cooperation. It is easy to understand the value and importance of open, honest communications and valid information. Yet, few organizations are able to function in this manner. In the long run, poor communication will undermine the entire organization. Restricting communication and distorting information are symptoms of short-range thinking. We must avoid these stupid, short-sighted traps and constantly strive for an open communications system with objective information. 分析: ①Information and communications are central to modem society and organizations. 译法:信息和沟通/交流对于现代社会和企业(组织)来说至关重要。 考点:organization 常解释为“公司;企业”或“组织”,这篇文章其实属于Management 板块,应解释为“企业”。 具体译法:成语法:central→ 至关重要 ②One approach to understand the working environment is to consider an organization as a communications system. 译文1:把企业看作是一个沟通体系,这是了解工作环境的方法之一。 译文2:了解工作环境的一个方法是把企业看作是一个沟通体系。

2013年3月上海中级口译考试翻译真题及答案解析汇总

2013年3月上海中级口译考试翻译真题及答案解析汇总 【原文】 朝气蓬勃,充满活力,丰富多彩的上海是现代中国的缩影。虽然上海的文化遗迹不能与北京媲美,但是上海迷人的城市风貌,风格各异的万国建筑为这座城市注入了无限的魅力。今日之上海,已经成为享誉中外的国际大都市。 漫步在这座日新月异的现代大都市里,你会发现许多精彩的历史亮点,隐现在众多摩天大楼背后的是上海发展变化的轨迹。它们记述了上海自十九世纪末开埠以来,尤其是新中国成立以后,是如何迅猛发展的。 【参考译文】 Shanghai is a dynamic, diverse and stimulating city - the very epitome of modern China. Though Shanghai cannot rival Beijing in cultural heritage, its varied architectural styles and cosmopolitan feel give it a charm of its own. Today's Shanghai has become a world-famous international metropolis. A walk through this booming city reveals many glimpses of its colorful past. Hidden amongst the skyscrapers are remains of the original Shanghai. They keep on showing how Shanghai has been developing fast and enormously since its opening as a commercial port in the late 19th century, especially after the founding of new China. 【评析】 该篇翻译属于经典话题,类似于上海城市介绍,考生如果熟悉教材,注意积累相关句型词汇,特别是对“朝气蓬勃、充满活力dynamic, diverse and stimulating、缩影epitome、遗迹heritage、城市风貌cosmopolitan feel、万国建筑varied architectural styles”等常考的表达,应该可以顺利取得高分。 If you’ve ever been on a jury, you might have noticed that a funny thing happens the minute you get behind closed doors. Everybody starts talking about themselves. They say what they would have done if they had been the plaintiff or the defendant. Being on a jury reminds me why I can’t tolerate talk radio. We Americans seem to have lost the ability to talk about anything but our own experiences. We can’t seem to generalize without stereotyping or to consider evidence that goes against our own experience. I heard a doctor on a radio show talking about a study that found that exercise reduces the incidence of Alzheimer’s. And caller after caller couldn’t wait to make essentially the opposite point: “Well, my grandmother never exercised and she lived to 95.”We are in an age summed up by the saying: “I experience, therefore I’m right.”Historically, the hallmarks of an uneducated person were the lack of ability to think critically, to use deductive reasoning to distinguish the personal from the universal. Now that seems an apt description of many Americans. 【参考译文】 如果你曾经当过陪审员,你可能会注意到一件有趣的事情:一旦关上了门,所有人就开始谈论他们自己。他们会讨论,如果自己是原告或被告的话会做什么。担任陪审员的经历让我明白了我为什么无法忍受谈话性的广播节目。我们美国人似乎只剩下了谈论自己经历的能力。我们似乎无法抛开固有的成见进行总结,也无法客观地分析与自身经历相悖的证据。 我曾听过一位医生在之声节目上讲述一项研究,该研究发现锻炼能降低阿兹海默症(老

历年上海英语中级口译翻译英译汉真题及答案

历年上海英语中级口译翻译英译汉真题及答案 原文: 出自Newsweek Why We Must Fire Bad Teachers The relative decline of American education at the elementary- and high-school levels has long been a national embarrassment as well as a threat to the nation’s future. Once upon a time, American students tested better than any other students in the world. Now, ranked against European schoolchildren, America does about as well as Lithuania, behind at least 10 other nations. For much of this time—roughly the last half century—professional educators believed that if they could only find the right pedagogy, the right method of instruction, all would be well. They tried New Math, open classrooms, Whole Language—but nothing seemed to achieve significant or lasting improvements. Yet in recent years researchers have discovered something that may seem obvious, but for many reasons was overlooked or denied. What really makes a difference, what matters more than the class size or the textbook, the teaching method or the technology, or even the curriculum, is the quality of the teacher. Much of the ability to teach is innate—an ability to inspire young minds as well as control unruly classrooms that some people instinctively possess (and some people definitely do not). Teaching can be taught, to some degree, but not the way many graduate schools of education do it, with a lot of insipid or marginally relevant theorizing and pedagogy. In any case the research shows that within about five years, you can generally tell who is a good teacher and who is not. 我们为什么必须叫停“不称职”的老师?

英语翻译中级口译阅读原文真题

英语翻译中级口译阅读原文真题 真题阅读部分第三篇 Napoleon famously described the British as a nation of shopkeepers. These days it would be equally true to describe them as a nation of shoppers. Either way, London is the UK’s shopping mecca; if you can’t find it here you probably can’t find it at all. Some London shops are more or less tourist attractions in their own right. Few visitors come away without popping into Harrods, even if only to gawp. This famous store is a real one-off. The toilets are fab, the food hall enough to make you swoon, and if they haven’t got what you want, it probably doesn’t exist. No other store has such a sense of sheer, outrageous abundance. Since Absolutely Fabulous brought Edina and Patsy steaming onto our screens, Harvey Nichols (’Harvey Nicks’) has become another must-see attraction. It boasts a great food hall, an extravagant perfume department and jewellery to save up for. But with all the big names from Miyake to Lauren, Hammett to Calvin Klein and a whole floor of up-to-the-minute menswear, it’s fashion that Harvey Nichols does better than the rest. The selection is unrivalled and the prices high, although the sales offer some great bargains, and the store’s own clothing line is reasonable. Carnaby Street still reeks of the 60s although it’s had something of a revival since the ’Cool Britannia’kick brought Union Jack dresses back into fashion. The last punks have long since slunk away from Chelsea’s King’s Rd but there are still plenty of interesting shops slotted in amid the high-street chains. The shops and stalls inside the old Covent Garden market building tend to be pricey and tourist-oriented, while the streets running off it remain a happy hunting ground for shoppers, with Neal St and Neal’s Yard in particular offering a range of

中级口译历年真题--翻译篇 2012年春季(3月) 英译汉原文: When I was young, there was an amazing publication called The Whole Earth Catalog, which was one of the bibles of my generation. It was created by a fellow named Stewart Brand not far from here in Menlo Park, and he brought it to life with his poetic touch. This was in the late 1960′s, before personal computers and desktop publishing, so it was all made with typewriters, scissors, and Polaroid cameras. It was sort of like Google in paperback form, 35 years before Google came along: it was idealistic, and overflowing with neat tools and great notions. Stewart and his team put out several issues of The Whole Earth Catalog, and then when it had run its course, they put out a final issue. It was the mid-1970s, and I was your age. On the back cover of their final issue was a photograph of an early morning country road, the kind you might find yourself hitchhiking on if you were so adventurous. Beneath it we re the words: “Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.” It was their farewell message as they signed off. Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish. And I have always wished that for myself. And now, as you graduate to begin anew, I wish that for you. 英译汉参考译文: 我年轻的时候,有本非常好的杂志《全球目录》,这是我们那代人的“圣经”之一。杂志的创办人是斯图尔特·布兰德,创办地是在离这里不远的门罗公园,他赋予了这本杂志诗一样的美感。六十年代后期,个人电脑和桌面排版尚未出现,所以这本杂志完全利用打字机、剪刀、偏光镜来完成,有点像平装本的谷歌,却出现在谷歌问世三十五年前。这本杂志充满了理想色彩,充满了整齐利落的工具、不同寻常的见解。 斯图尔特和他的团队出版了几期《全球目录》,在它完成使命后,他们出版了最后一期杂志。那是在七十年代中期,那时我和你们的年龄相仿。杂志最后一期的封底上是张清晨的乡村公路的照片,那样的路,如果你有些冒险精神,可能会一路搭车走过。照片下面有两句话:“求知若饥,虚怀若愚”,这是他们停刊的告别语,“求知若饥,虚怀若愚”,我总是以此鼓励自己。现在,当你们即将毕业踏上新的旅程,我给予你们同样的期望。 翻译评析: 这篇短文取自于乔布斯在斯坦福大学毕业典礼上的演讲。语言比较口语化,词汇不难。因为是演讲类短文,所以考生在翻译的时候大可以顺序驱动。节选的这个短文有几处的词汇和短语大家可以注意下: poetic:充满诗情画意的 idealistic: 理想主义的 run his course: 完成使命 hitchhiking: 搭乘 sign off: 停止签发,停止 汉译英: 吸烟之危害,可谓大矣,其严重性是不能低估的。吸烟污染空气,损害健康,使肺癌发病率大大增加。为了使各国人民关注烟草的盛行及预防吸烟导致的疾病和死亡,世界卫生组织已将每年的5月31日定为“世界无烟日”。 瘾君子们说,一天饭不吃可以,一个时辰不抽烟就难捱了,不能戒。只要真正意识到吸烟有百害而无一利,于人于己都是一种祸害,就有可能下决心摆脱烟草的诱惑。戒烟贵在坚持,坚持下去就是收获。 参考译文: Smoking does great harm to human and its gravity should not be underestimated. Smoking pollutes air, damages health, and increases the incidence of lung cancer. To arouse the awareness about the prevalence of tobacco in all the countries and to prevent smoking-induced diseases and deaths, the WHO (World Health Organization) has defined May 31st in every year as World No-Tobacco Day. The tobacco addicts say that smoking is impossible to quit because they could do without meals in a day but would feel tortured without tobacco in two hours. However, when one realizes that smoking is harmful in many ways but beneficial in no way and that it is a curse to others as well
