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.

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 %

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.
