Since Darwin, biologists have been-firmly convinced that nature works without plan or meaning, pursuing no aim by the direct road of design. But today we see that this conviction is a fatal error. Why should evolution, exactly as Darwin knew it and described it, be planless and irrational? Do not aircraft design engineers work, at precisely that point where specific calculations and plans give out, according to the same principle of evolution, when they test the serviceability of a great number of statistically determined forms in the wind tunnel, in order to choose the one that functions best? Can we say that there is no process of natural selection when nuclear physicists, through thousands of computer operations, try to find out which materials, in which combinations and with what structural form, are best suited to the building of an atomic reactor? They also practise no designed adaptation, but work by the principle of selection. But it would never occur to anyone to call their method planless and irrational.

达尔文以后的生物学家们一直相信,大自然的运行是没有计划没有意义的,不会按照预先设定的途径实现任何目的。但是,今天我们知道,这一看法是个严重的错误。为什么恰如达尔文所理解和描述的那样,进化就该是无计划和无理性的呢?飞机设计师们利用风洞检测根据统计数据制造的大量机体模型的耐用性能,在具体运算和计划不起作用的情况下,为选出功能最佳的设计,他们不也正是根据同样的进化原理进行工作的吗?核物理学家经过上万次的计算机运算,试图找出哪些材料,以怎样的结合方式,以及什么结构形式最适宜用于建造原子核反应堆,我们能够说这中间没有自然选择的过程么?他们进行的适应性调节也未经过事先设计,而是根据选择原理进行的。但是人们从未认为这种方法是无计划、无理性的。

A commonplace criticism of American culture is its excessive preoccupation with material goods and corresponding neglect of the human spirit. Americans, it is alleged, worship only "the almighty dollar. " We scramble to "keep up with the Joneses. " The love affair between Americans and their automobiles has been a continuing subject of derisive commentary by both foreign and domestic critics. Americans are said to live by a quantitative ethic. Bigger is better, whether in bombs or sedans. The classical virtues of grace, harmony, and economy of both means and ends are lost on most Americans. As a result, we are said to be swallowing up the world's supply of natural resources, which are irreplaceable. Americans constitute 6 percent of the world's population but consume over a third of the world's energy. These are now familiar complaints. Indeed, in some respects Americans may believe the "pursuit of happiness" to mean the pursuit of material things.

人们常常批评美国文化过分热衷于物质产品,却忽略了人的精神需求。他们说,美国人只崇拜“万能的美元”。美国人会在生活上竞相攀比。美国人过分钟情于汽车,长期以来这称为国内外批评家的笑柄。美国人把数量作为衡量一切的标准,无论是炸弹还是轿车,总是越多越好。大多数美国人已经失去了彬彬有礼、和睦相处、量入为出的传统美德。因而美国人吞噬着世界上大量不可再生的自然资源。美国人占世界人口的百分之六,却消耗了世界上三分之一以上的能源。人们常常对此颇有怨言。的确,从某种程度上说,美国人可能信奉追求幸福就是追求物质享受。

The three sacred words “duty”, “honor” and “country” reverently dictate what you should be, what you can be, and what you will be. They urge you to build courage when courage seems to fail, to regain faith when there seems to be little cause for faith, to create hope when hope becomes abandoned. I am convinced that these words teach you to be proud and unbending in honest failure, but humble and gentle in success; not to substitute words for action; not to seek the path of comfort, but to face the stress of difficulty and challenge; to learn to stand up in the storm, but to have compassion on those who fall; to have a heart that is clean, a goal that is high;

yet never take yourself too seriously; to be modest so that you will remember the simplicity of true greatness, the open mind of true wisdom, the meekness of true strength. In short, these words teach you to be both a militant fighter and a gentleman.

“责任”、“荣誉”和“国家”这三个神圣的词庄严地责成你们应成为怎样的人,能成为怎样的人,将成为怎样的人。这三个词要求你们在失去勇气时鼓起勇气,在失去信念时恢复信念,在失去希望时产生希望。我认为,这些词教导你们在真正失败时要自尊自爱、不屈不挠,在成功时要谦和,不要以言代行,不要寻求安逸,而要面对困难和挑战的压力;要学会在风浪中傲然屹立,而对失败者应该予以同情;要有纯洁的心灵,要有崇高的目标;要能笑会哭;要走向未来,但不可忘记过去;要为人持重,但不可自命不凡;要谦虚,这样就会记住真正的伟大在于纯朴,真正的智慧在于开明,真正的刚毅在于温柔。简而言之,这些词教导你们在成为一名勇猛之士的同时,也要成为一位谦谦君子。

在一个极为漫长.的历史阶段中,人类只能通过音乐表演和口授来传播音乐。当人类发明了乐谱后,音乐便开始脱离表演而演变成“文字”得以记录和传播。然而,人类音乐传播的真正革命性里程碑的建立者无疑是科学家们。他们创造了令人叹为观止的音乐传播手段,从最早的机械“留声机”到今天五花八门的“电子媒体”。在20世纪诸多的音乐传播手段中,无线电广播的发明和发展对音乐的传播起了极为重要的作用。然而,高科技的高速发展也使我国广播音乐工作者在新世纪中面临着严峻的挑战。

For a very long period of historical development, mankind could only pass on music though performance and oral instruction. When mankind invented musical scores, music started to break away from the boundaries of being merely a performing art, and develop into a system of “written symbols” that can be recorded and spread. Undoubtedly, however, it was the scientists who should be crowned as the founders of the real revolutionary milestone of human musical communication. Scientists invented marvelous means of music transmission, beginning from the earliest mechanical “record turntable” to today’s many kinds of “electronic media”. Among the numerous means of music transmission of the 20 century, the creation and development of radio broadcasting played an extremely important role in the industry of music transmission. Nevertheless, the rapid development of high technology has brought serious challenges to China’s radio music workers in the new century.

What a noble medium the English language is. It is not possible to write a page without experiencing positive pleasure at the richness and variety, the flexibility and the profoundness of our mother-tongue. If an English writer cannot say what he has to, say in English, and in simple English, it is probably not worth saying. What a pity that English is not more generally studied, I am not going to attack classical education. No one who has the slightest pretension to literary tastes can be insensible to its attraction. But I confess our present educational system excites in my mind grave misgivings, which I cannot believe is the best or even reasonable, a system that thrusts upon reluctant and uncomprehending multitudes treasures which can only be appreciated by the privileged and gifted few. To the vast majority of children who attend our public schools; classical education is from beginning to end long, useless and meaningless. If I am told that classical subjects are the best preparation for the study of English, I reply that by far this preparatory stage is incomplete and without deriving any of the benefits which are promised as its result.

英语是一种多么神奇的工具!我们每写下一页,祖国语言的丰富多彩、灵便精深都让我们赞叹不已、

不值得说。英语没有广泛地得到学习是何等憾事啊!我不是在攻击传统教育。任何人只要自称对文学有些许鉴赏力,就不可能对英语的魅力无动于衷。但我承认,我国目前的教育制度使人忧心忡忡。我认为这不是最好的制度,甚至不是合理的制度。因为这个制度所提供的文学作品,只能为少数特权人物和天才人物所欣赏,却不是普通大众喜闻乐见、能够欣赏的。对公立学校的广大学生来说,传统教育彻头彻尾地冗长无用、毫无意义。如果有人对我说,传统课程为学习英语打下了最好的基础,那我得说,迄今为止这个基础阶段还不完善,未能收到所期望的任何效果。

我国政府强化了对外贸的控管,强化了商会这类中介机构的服务与协调功能。我们希望继续加强外贸体制的改革,使之逐渐走向竞争;并受到诸如关税、汇率和利率等法律和经济手段的制约。所有这些都应有助于加速中国外贸的国际化进程,为宏观经贸局面的形成创造一个较好的环境,通过促进商贸业、制造业、农业、技术产业和银行之间更为密切的合作,我们能够为国际市场提供更多、更好的出口产品。在这种情况下,中国自然会成为一个大市场。

Our government has stronger control over foreign trade, and strengthened the service and coordinating functions of such intermediary organizations as chambers of commerce. We hope to continue to strengthen reform in our foreign trade system in order to gradually open foreign trade to competition and to get it under control by both legal means and economic measures, such as tariffs, foreign exchange rates and interest rates. All this should help speed up the internationalization of China's foreign trade and create a better environment for bringing about a macro economic and trade prospect. By promoting a closer cooperation among business and trade communities, manufacturing industries, agriculture, technology industries and banks, we will be able to produce more and better export commodities for the international market. Given this situation, China is bound to be a large market.

A major source of anxiety about the future of the family is rooted not so much in reality as in the tension between the idealized expectation in the culture and the reality itself. Nostalgia for a lost family tradition, which, in fact, never existed, has prejudiced our understanding of the conditions of families in contemporary society. Thus, the current .anxiety over the fate of the family reflects not only problems in the family but also a variety of fears about other social problems that are eventually projected onto the family.

The real problem facing American families today are not symptoms of breakdown as is often suggested; rather, they reflect the difficulties of adaptation to recent social changes, particularly to the loss of diversity in household membership, to the reduction of the variety of family functions and, to some extent, to the weakening of the family adaptability. The idealization of the family as a refuge from the world and the myth that the work of mothers is harmful has added considerable strain. The continuous emphasis on the family as a universal private retreat and as an emotional haven is misguided in light of historical experience.

人们对家庭的未来感到忧心忡忡,其根本原因不在于现实,而在于对文化的理想化期望与现实本身的冲突。由于怀念失落的家庭传统,我们在理解现代家庭状况时常存在着偏见,而实际上,这种家庭传统从未存在过。当前人们对家庭命运的担忧不仅仅反映出了家庭的问题,由于社会问题常常投射到家庭中,这种担忧也反映了人们对其他社会问题的种种忧虑。现在美国家庭面临的真正问题不是人们所常说的家庭崩溃的征兆,而是反映出美国家庭难以适应最近的社会变化,尤其是难以适应家庭规模缩小、家庭职能减少以及家庭适应能力越来越弱的现实。把家庭理想化为远离世界的避难所,或者错误地认为母亲工作对于家庭不利,使家庭承受了更大的压力。从过去的经验来看,一直强调家庭是个人和情感的避

Whether visiting the Oriental Pearl Radio and Television Tower on the Huangpu River or the City God Temple in a quiet corner of the city, they marvel at the miraculous combination of tradition and modernity. The profound traditional Chinese culture struck those foreign youngsters as mysterious and novel. Their impression came from the short-time contact, but from then on, they will never forget such a nation in the East of the world.

Japan's once enviable jobless rate will soar to double-digit levels if—and the warning is a big one—firms opt for drastic Western-style layoffs to boost profits. While Japan's life-time employment system is visibly unravelling, many economists still doubt whether a scenario of soaring joblessness will occur, given that economic incentives to slash payrolls clash with social and political pressures to save jobs. A kinder, gentler approach to restructuring would soften the social instability many fear would result from doubling the jobless rate, already at a record high.

Critics believe it would also cap gains in profit margins and stifle economic vitality, especially in the absence of bold steps to open the door to new growth, industries. Some economists believe different methods of counting mean Japan's jobless rate is already close to 7 per cent by United States standards, not that far from the 7.8 per cent peak hit in the US in 1992 when it began to emerge from a two-year slump.

如果日本各公司效仿西方国家,通过大幅度裁员来增加利润,日本一度令人羡慕的低失业率将飙升至两位数, 目前形式已经十分严峻。日本的终生雇佣制度明显正在解体, 但是刺激经济需要裁员, 而社会和政治上却要求保留工作岗位,两者互相冲突,因而许多经济学家仍无法断定日本是否会出现失业率急剧上升的局面。许多人担心失业率已经达到历史最高点,如果再增长一倍,就会导致社会不安定,因而以较为温和的方式调整经济,才可以缓解这个问题。评论家们认为这还会限制利润增长,抑制经济活力,如果不去大胆采取措施引进增长型产业,情况会更糟。一些经济学家认为,用不同的方法计算,按照美国标准,日本的失业率已接近7%,与1992年美国7.8%的最高失业率相去不远,而当时美国已开始走出两年的经济衰退期。

The Huangpu River flows across Shanghai from north to south, dividing the city into two parts. Historically, Pudong got its name from its location on the east bank of the Huangpu Priver. In the 20’s and the 30’s of this century when the finance and Business trade district with the Bund as its center was established, foreign businessmen and Chinese national capitalists began to extend their economic activities to the Pudong area. However, inconvenient transportation occasioned by river crossing greatly affected the economic development of Pudong.

The fate of unborn millions will now depend, under God, on the courage and conduct of this army. Our cruel and unrelenting enemy leaves us only the choice of brave resistance or the most abject submission. We have, therefore, to resolve to conquer or to die.

Let us then rely on the goodness of our cause, and the aid of the Supreme Being, in whose hands victory is, to animate and encourage us to great and noble actions. The eyes of all our countrymen are now upon us, and we shall have their blessings and praises, if happily we are the instruments of saving them from the tyranny meditated against them.

The biggest problem of the third industrial revolution is as easy to explain as it is difficult to solve. Technology is creating a global economy that is rapidly supplanting our old national economies. National governments cannot control this new economy, yet no one, least of all Americans, wants to create the form of global government that might be able to control it. As a result we were going to be living in a fundamentally unmanaged economic system. The difficulties of containing the 1997 Asian economic meltdown are just the first of many such difficulties we can expect.

National governments, which used to worry about managing and maintaining their economic systems, are slowly being pushed out of business. Changes in global finance overwhelm all but the largest governments. Governments have lost much of their influence over the movement of information and capital. They cannot control who crosses their borders either physically or culturally.

Conversely, the power of global businesses is growing with companies' ability to move to the most advantageous locations and play countries off against one another in bidding for attractive investment projects.

长期以来,科学同艺术之间的关系一直是剃头担子一头热:科学热恋着艺术,艺术却拒科学于千里之外。

许多大科学家一生钟爱艺术,且懂艺术,从中汲取养料,善养浩然之气,或得到人生最大安慰。相反,能热爱并且理解自然科学和工程技术的文学艺术家真可谓凤毛麟角。

艺术家对自然科学望而生畏,敬而远之,原因之一是里面有一大堆高深的数学公式。其实,撇开数学,绕过那一大堆公式,一门学科的基本思想还是可以被我们理解和欣赏的.这恰如我们虽然看不懂莫扎特乐曲的总谱,却照样能同它的主旋律产生共鸣,击节称赞.

The relationship between science and art has long been that of one-sided enthusiasm. That is, scientists love art while artists reject science. Many renowned scientists have some knowledge of art and even have a passion for it throughout their lives, seeking nutrients to enhance their noble spirit and derive the greatest comfort from it. On the contrary, the writers and artists who appreciate natural science or engineering technology are rarity of rarities. Artists keep faraway from natural science in awe mainly because of the large

The most important fact in Washing ton’s failure on Thursday to be re-elected for the first time since 1947 to the U. N. Human Rights Commission is that it as America’ friends, not its enemies, that engineered the defeat. After all, China and Cuba and other targets of U.S.-led criticism in the committee were always going to vote and lobby against Washington; the shock came in the fact that the European and other Western nations that traditionally ensured U.S. Re-election turned their backs on Washington.

Many traditional U.S. supporters clearly withdrew their vote to signal displeasure over U.S. unilateralism. They have been increasingly chagrined by Washington’s tendency to ignore the international consensus on issue ranging from the use of land mines to the Kyoto climate change treaty. They are also critical of what they see ass Washington’s tend ency to publicise the issue of human rights, using annual resolutions at the committee to denounce China or Cuba hen that conforms to U.S. foreign policy objectives but for the same reason voting alone in defence of Israel when that country is in the dock over its conduct.

many American parents may be totally divorced from the church, or entertain grave doubts about the existence of God, but they send their children to Sunday school and help them to pray. American parents struggle in a competitive world where sheer cunning and falsehood are often rewarded and respected, but they feed their children with nursery tales in which the morally good is pitted against the bad, and in the end the good inevitably is successful and the bad inevitably punished. When American parents are in serious domestic trouble, they maintain a front of sweetness and light before their children. Even if American parents suffer a major business or personal catastrophe, they feel ob liged to turn to their children and say, “Honey, everything is going to be all right.” This American desire to keep the children’s world separate from that of the adult is exemplified also by the practice of delaying transmission of the news to children when their parents have been killed in an accident. Thus, in summary, American parents face a world of reality while many of their children live in a near-ideal unreal realm where the rules of the parental world do not apply, are watered down, or are even reversed.

成人世界和儿童世界在许多方面泾渭分明。比如说,许多美国人可能从来不去教堂,或者对上帝是否存在十分怀疑,但是他们却会把孩子送到主日学校,教会他们祈祷。美国人生存的社会充满竞争,尔虞我诈才能名利双收,但是在他们教育孩子的幼儿故事里,在好人与坏人的斗争中最终却总是善有善报,恶有恶报。如果美国人出现严重的家庭危机,在孩子们面前,他们表面上却仍然是温柔可亲。即使工作、生活遭遇重大挫折,他们也认为有必要对孩子说:“宝贝儿,一切都会好起来的。”如果大人遭遇事故身亡,不会立刻把噩耗告诉孩子,这种做法也可以说明美国人希望让孩子的世界和成人的世界分离开来。因此,总的说来,美国人生活在现实的世界中,孩子则生活在一个几乎完美的天地里,这里成人世界的规则不适用,淡化了,甚至完全相反。

历史雄辩地说明,中美之间建立在平等互利基础上的劳动分工是最为合理和实用的国际关系。中国物美价廉的制成品源源不断地走上美国超级市场的货架,而美国的农产品、高新技术产品,连同跨国公司的资本和技术,滚滚不息地涌进中国大陆。中国人民以其勤劳的双手,增进了美国的福祉,促使其产业升级换代;而北美这块广袤而又富绕的土地,也以其精华滋润和促进了中国的现代化进程。经贸合作是两国能够找到共同语言的最佳领域。以谋求共同利益来减少或淡化意识形态差异和现实利害冲突,过去是、今后更是双方寻求和平共处的必由之路。

It has been proved by enough historical evidence that the labor division based on equality and mutual benefits between China and the United States is the most rational and practical international relation. The high-quality and inexpensive commodities have appeared in more and more supermarkets in the United States,while the produce and the hi-tech products have been introduced to the mainland of China on a daily basis. The Chinese people, with their diligence, have helped enhance the welfare of the American people and update their industries. Similarly, the American people, backed by their vast and rich land, have contributed greatly to the modernization of China with their essence. The economic and trade cooperation is the best way for the two parties to seek common interests. To bypass the differences in the two ideologies and avoid the conflicts in the real life in pursuit of common interests was and will be the only way for the two parties to achieve peaceful coexistence.

After nearly a year of emotional arguments in Congress but no new federal laws, the national debate over the future of human cloning has shifted to the states. Six states have already banned cloning in one form or another, and this year alone 38 anticloning measures were introduced in 22 states.

The resulting patchwork of laws, people on all sides of the issue say, complicates a nationwide picture already clouded by scientific and ethical questions over whether and how to restrict cloning or to ban it altogether.

Since 1997, when scientists announced the birth of Dolly the sheep, the first cloned mammal, the specter of cloned babies, infants that are in essence genetic carbon copies of adults, has loomed large in the public psyche and in the minds of lawmakers.

Today, there is widespread agreement that cloning for reproduction is unsafe and should be banned. Now, the debate has shifted away from the ethics of baby-making and toward the morality of cloning embryos for their cells and tissues, which might be used to treat diseases. The controversy pits religious conservatives and abortion opponents, who regard embryos as nascent human life, against patients groups, scientists and the biotechnology industry.

关于克隆人,国会经过近一年的激烈争论,却没有制定出新的联邦法律,这种争论现在已经转移到各州。6个州已经以各种形式禁止克隆人,而仅是今年就有22个州出台了38项反对克隆人的举措。对于克隆是加以限制,还是完全禁止,又该如何进行,科学和伦理上已经出现了一些问题,各方人士都认为出台的一系列法案使这个令全国上下惶惶不安的问题变得更为复杂。1997年科学家宣布第一个克隆的哺乳动物多利羊诞生,自此以后,可能出现的克隆婴儿,即从根本上说是成人基因的翻版的婴儿,在立法者和公众心理上造成极大的阴影。今天人们普遍认为利用克隆繁衍后代存在危险,应当予以禁止。这场争论最初是关于制造婴儿是否有悖伦理,现在已经转向克隆胚胎来利用其细胞和组织治疗疾病是否道德。宗教保守主义者和反对堕胎者认为胚胎是早期的生命形式,在这场争论中,他们与病人、科学家和生物科技行业各执一词,针锋相对。

目前,亚洲的发展面临着新的机遇,也面临着新的挑战。总体上,亚洲依然是当今世界最具经济活力和发展潜力的地区。经济全球化的深入发展和科学技术的迅猛进步,有利于亚洲各国利用国际资本,引进先进技术,开拓国际市场,推动本国经济的发展。但是,亚洲某些地区的安全形势仍不容乐观,反对恐怖主义的斗争尚待深入。经济全球化在带来发展机遇的同时,也增加了国际经济环境的不确定性,增加了本地区内发展中经济体结构调整的难度和遭遇外部冲击的风险。

At present, Asia is presented with both new opportunities and new challenges. Generally, Asia is economically the most dynamic region in the world with the greatest potential for development. The further development of economic globalization and the rapid advance of science and technology will enable the Asian countries to utilize international capital, introduce advanced technologies and explore overseas market to accelerate the development of the national economy. However, the security is far from optimistic in some of the areas in Asia, and the anti-terrorism fight calls for our continued efforts. While bringing the opportunities for development, economic globalization has increased the uncertainty of the international economic environment, the difficulty of the restructuring and the risk of being vulnerable to the external impact for the developing economies in Asia.

Bringing the World Cup to Asia was supposed to expand the reach of the global game in a happy confluence of good will and good business. The action on the pitch has certainly been dramatic, and most

wearing thin—and business seems relatively slow, with fewer visitors and Cup-related sales than expected. Deeply embarrassed by the image of part-empty stadiums besieged by angry ticket hunters, Japanese prime minister ordered an official investigation into the ticket fiasco. Claiming losses of more than $800,000 per game, Korea's soccer federation even threatened to sue Byrom, the official ticket agent, for failing to print and deliver tickets on time.

Japan and Korea both hoped to score big points—at home and abroad—with the World Cup. Perhaps it was the memories of the 1964 Tokyo Olympics and the 1988 Seoul Olympics, which were considered turning points in their nations' development. Mired in a decade-long slump, Japan longs for anything that might shock its economy back to life. Korea, meanwhile, hopes the Cup will steady its halting recovery from the 1997 Asian financial crisis—and help brand it as Asia's most wired nation. Their plan: inject billions of dollars into new facilities, welcome throngs of tourists and for one glorious month showcase their countries to the biggest television audience in world history.

世界杯在亚洲举办,意在扩大足球的影响,既能安抚球迷,又能促进经济发展,皆大欢喜。激烈的比赛着实让球迷过足了瘾,可比赛才举行半个月,安抚球迷的愿望就落了空,拉动经济发展的效果也微乎其微。无论是不远千里来观看球赛的球迷的人数,还是与世界杯相关的商品销售,都未达到预期的数量。日本赛场场内空空荡荡,观者寥寥,场外一票难求,怨声载道,日本首相为此尴尬不已,命令官方介入,调查票务丑闻。韩国足联宣布,每场比赛亏损高达80万美元,进而威胁起诉票务代理拜罗姆没能及时印制发送球票。

日韩两国都想借世界杯在国内外有所收益,这可能是因为两国仍沉醉于1964年东京奥运会和1988年汉城奥运会,当时这两届奥运会是两国发展的转折点,促进了日本和韩国的腾飞。日本深陷经济衰退的泥潭长达十年之久,现在迫切需要重振往日雄风。而韩国则寄希望于世界杯稳步摆脱1997年亚洲经济危机影响,重塑亚洲强国地位。他们的如意算盘是:投入巨资更新设备,迎接八方来客,借世界杯的一月精彩赛事,向创下历史之最的全球电视观众展示日韩两国风采。

The effect of governmental expenditures on the total economy varies with both the level of utilization of labor and capital in the economy at the time of the expenditure, and the segment of the economy which receives the expenditure. If the economy as a whole or the segment of the economy which is the focus of the expenditure is operating at capacity or close to capacity, then the expenditure's major effects will tend to be inflationary, and will not generate much employment of capital and labor. If the economy or sector is operating at much less than full employment, the expenditure will produce a genuine (non-inflationary) rise in the GNP.

A true measure of the effect of governmental increase in the amount of money made available, then, is not the simple dollar value of the initial injection but the cumulative effect of this injection through spending and re-spending. In the optimum case the initial expansion of income flow could be great enough to produce tax revenues in excess of the original "deficit spending" or the "tax cut", so that deficits are not only smaller than the increased GNP but are recouped. In Keynesian economics the fundamental point of government policy clearly is not budget-balancing but spending in the event of unused productive capacity and unemployment. Spending increases productivity. This productivity resulting from federal spending has overwhelmed the older economic myths of the balanced budget where government is conceived of as just another business firm.

政府投资对于整个经济的影响作用,受到以下两个因素的制约。第一,政府投资之时劳动力和资本的利用情况;第二,接受投资的经济部分。如果整个经济或接受主要投资的经济部分充分或接近充分发挥效能,那么政府投资的效力不会很大,所以资本和劳动力也不会得到充分利用。而如果经济潜能并未充分发挥,政府投资则会真正促进GNP的增长。

对于政府增加投资而产生的影响,衡量标准并非在于最初的投资数额,而在于这一投资经过多次投入而产生的长期影响。在理想的情况下,最初的收入增长产生的税收会超过最初的“负债投入”或“减免的税收”。这样,赤字不仅小于GNP的增长,而且得到了补偿。凯恩斯的经济学理论认为,政府决策的重点并非在于平衡赤字,而在于生产力没有得到充分发挥,失业率居高不下之时加大投入。传统的经济理论错误地认为必须政府应发挥类似公司的职能,尽力平衡赤字,而联邦资金投入可以促进生产能力,使传统的理论不攻自破。

Many experts hold the idea that the highest priority in the reform of education system should be given to the improvement and reform in curriculum and examination system in order to avoid a generation paying undue attention to textbooks. They pointed out that the key of the reform in the education system is a well-shared awareness that the high and primary educations are there, instead of simply offering the knowledge important to the students, to improve the students in an all-round way, and especially to guide

schools, they try their best to get a better way to gradually guide the students to an appropriate view over the world around them. An undue emphasis on knowledge-education and the resultant ignorance over the guidance to the students to a proper understanding of life will bring us nothing but a large number of “memorizing machines”. We can never expect a group of young people well prepared for the real social life.

At a time when the public is being assaulted with unsolicited e-mail ads, Califomia is about to launch the toughest counterattack in the nation. A law that goes into effect on Jan. 1 allows computer users in the state to refuse unwanted solicitations en masse and sue spammers who violate their wishes for as much as $1 million.

Those potent weapons for deflecting pitches that offer everything from bigger body parts to lower mortgage rates have attracted the ire of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and mass marketers. Fearing the law will curtail advertising on the Internet, they are pushing for a far weaker national solution that would undercut the tough tactics in California and other states that are going the same route.

But such self-interest is hardly enlightened. The growing flood of messages not only annoys PC users, it also slows the transmission of wanted e-mail and forces businesses to spend billions to combat spam.

In fact, a survey released Oct. 22 suggests the proliferation of pitches could hurt the very e-commerce these business groups say they want to preserve. The survey of computer users, funded by the Pew Charitable Trusts, a non-profit group that studies public issues, found 25% use e-mail less because of spam. And 75% were reluctant to give out e-mail addresses, even to online retailers.

鉴于公众不断收到垃圾电子邮件,加利福尼亚决定开展美国历来最为严厉的打击行动。1月1日,加州通过一条法律,使得计算机用户有权拒收垃圾邮件,并对邮件发送者提出诉讼,要求最高达一百万美元的赔偿。

垃圾邮件内容五花八门,既包括健身美体广告,也包括优惠的按揭贷款广告。加州的打击行动力度十足,但这也使得美国商会和占据庞大市场份额的公司感到不安。他们认为这样的法律会阻碍在线广告的发展,所以就提出保守得多的措施,力图减弱加州和其他采取类似法律的各州的影响。

但这种做法只考虑个人利益,自然难以获得支持。潮水般涌来的垃圾邮件不仅令电脑用户大为光火,而且也大大影响了正常邮件的传递速度。结果,商家还要花费大笔金钱打击垃圾邮件。

事实上,10月22日一项调查表明,垃圾邮件的泛滥使得商家苦心经营的电子商务严重受损。据专门研究公共事务的非营利组织丕优慈善基金会(Pew Charitable Trusts)调查显示,有25%的人因为垃圾邮件的缘故减少了电子邮件的使用,而75%的人则不愿把自己的邮件地址告诉别人,甚至不愿意告诉在线零售商。

For example, they lay stress on the importance of kindness and love in human relations, on the interest of the community, and on the idea that the world is for all, especially on patriotism as embodied in the saying, "everybody is responsible for the rise or fall of the country;" and long suffering and hard working diligence and frugality in household management, and respecting teachers and valuing education. All these have played a great role in binding and regulating the family, the country and the society.

France today is no superpower, but French influence in some spheres significant. Nothing has cemented French influence in the world like the decision made by the victorious World War II powers in 1945 to include France as one of the five permanent, veto-wielding members of the Security Council. Until the end of the Cold War, France rarely found itself in disagreement with Britain or the U.S. on major issues. But the U.N. veto today takes on larger significance as France struggles to decide whether it wants to lead the European Union in defiance of American power or in partnership with it.

As America's great media outlets have begun preparing for coverage of the D-Day celebrations, the question of a "grand gesture" by the French toward the American war in Iraq has been raised. Administration officials hint that, perhaps, just perhaps, the French President will use the occasion of France's rescue as an opportunity to square the accounts — to issue a blanket endorsement of America's plan for Iraq's future and throw its support behind the transfer of power looming at the end of the month. France certainly wants the United States to be successful in Iraq at this point. But France seems unlikely to see D-Day as an opportunity to make good on a 60-year-old debt. Beyond nice speeches and some truly fine cuisine, don't expect France to liberate America from Iraq.

The book shows us the progress of a remarkable American, who, through his own enormous energies and efforts, made the unlikely journey from Hope, Arkansas, to the White House---a journey fueled by an impassioned interest in the political process which manifested itself at every stage of his life: in college, working as an intern for Senator William Fulbright; at Oxford, becoming part of the Vietnam War protest movement; at Yale Law School, campaigning on the grassroots level for Democratic candidates; back in Arkansas, running for Congress, attorney general, and governor.

We see his career shaped by his resolute determination to improve the life of his fellow citizens, an unfaltering commitment to civil fights, and an exceptional understanding of the practicalities of political life.

We come to understand the emotional pressures of his youth--born after his father's death; caught in the dysfunctional relationship between his feisty, nurturing mother and his abusive stepfather, drawn to the brilliant, compelling lady whom he was determined to marry; passionately devoted, from her infancy, to their daughter, and to the entire experience of fatherhood; slowly and painfully beginning to comprehend how his early denial of pained him at times into damaging patterns of behavior.

The popular view when discussing urban transportation in American cities today is to decry its sorry state. Newspaper and journals are filled with talk of "urban transportation crisis," of the "difficulties of getting from here to there, " and so on at great length. Matters are reported to get worse and very quickly.

Everyone has his own favorite traumatic experience to report: of the occasion when many of the switches froze on New York's commuter railroads; of the sneak snowstorm in Boston that converted thirty-minute commuter trips into seven hour ordeals; of the extreme difficulties in Chicago and other Midwestern cities when some particularly heavy and successive snowstorms were endured.

One reason for the talk of an urban transportation crisis in the United States today perhaps lies in a failure to meet anticipations. Many commuters expected to reduce their commuting times as systems improved, but instead found themselves barely able to maintain the status quo in terms of time requirements./ Another reason for talk of crisis, almost certainly, is the rate of improvement in the performance of urban transportation systems during rush hours has been markedly inferior to that expected during off-peak hours. Specifically, the ability to move quickly about American cities during non-rush hours has improved in a truly phenomenal fashion.

Over the past 4 years, China has honored most of the commitments it made when joining the WTO, and some of them are even fulfilled ahead of schedule. In respect of the intellectual property issue that is of concern to WTO members, China launched a law revamp program and investigated a great number of infringement cases. These efforts have achieved remarkable effect. The Chinese government has also revamped the administrative laws and regulations at ministerial and local levels.

By making and honoring promises that can be counted on, China has shown its utmost sincerity and largeness of mind as a great and responsible country/nation, gaining acclamations from WTO members and international public opinion.

A proposal to change long-standing federal policy and deny citizenship to babies born to illegal immigrants on U.S. soil ran aground this month in Congress, but it is sure to resurface – kindling bitter debate even if it fails to become law.

At issue is “birthright citizenship” –provided for since the Constitution’s 14th Amendment was ratified in 1868. Section 1 of that amendment, drafted with freed slaves in mind, says: “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States.”

Some conservatives in Congress, as well as advocacy groups seeking to crack down on illegal immigration, say the amendment has been misapplied over the years, that it was never intended to grant citizenship automatically the babies of illegal immigrants. Thus they contend that federal legislation, rather than a difficult-to-achieve constitutional amendment, would be sufficient to end birthright citizenship.

“Most Americans feel it doesn’t make any sense for people to come into the country illegally, give birth and have a new U.S. citizen,” said the spokesman of the federation of American immigration reform. “But the advoc ates for illegal immigrants will make a fuss; they’ll claim you’re punishing the children, and I suspect the leadership doesn’t want to deal with that.”

【参考译文】

本月,一项意在改变存在已久的联邦政策、拒绝给予在美国的非法移民所生的子女公民身份的提案在国会搁了浅,但是这个提案肯定会重新出台——即使该提案不能成为法律,也会引起激烈的争论。

争论的焦点是“与生俱来的公民权”——自1868年批准的宪法第14条修正案以来就对这一权利作了规定。以获得自由的奴隶为本意而起草的该修正案第一款规定:“凡在美国出生或归化美国、且受美国管辖之人,皆为美国公民。”

国会中的一些保守派以及主张对非法移民进行严厉打击的团体声言,多年来该修正案应用不当,其用意从来就不是理所当然的要给予非法移民的子女公民权。因而,他们宣称通过联邦立法,而不是一条难以达成的宪法修正案,就足以终结与生俱来的公民权。

“大多数美国人认为,非法进入美国的人在美国生儿养女,使新生的子女成为美国的新公民,这是没有道理的,”美国移民改革联合会的发言人说。“但是非法移民的代言人定会小题大做;他们会说你们是在惩罚孩子,因此我料想我们的领导人不会愿意面对这件事情。”

【参考译文】

The Chinese civilization has always given prominence to cordiality, benevolence, and good neighborliness and laid stress on living in harmony with others. In foreign relations, the Chinese people have always believed that “the strong should not oppress the weak and the rich should not bully the poor” and advocate that “all nations live side by side in perfect harmony.”

The Chinese hold that “one should be as inclusive as the ocean, which is vast becau se it admits hundreds of rivers” and call for drawing upon the strength and useful experiences of other people.

Well before his death, Peter Drucker had already become a legend. Over his 95 prolific years, he had been a true Renaissance man, and teacher of religion, philosophy and political science. But his most important contribution, clearly, is in business. What John Keynes is to economics, Drucker is to management.

In the 1980s Peter Drucker began to have grave doubts about business and even capitalism itself. He no longer saw the corporation as the ideal space to create community. In fact, he saw nearly the opposite: a place where self-interest had triumphed over the egalitarian principles he long championed. In both his writings and speeches, Drucker emerged as one of Corporate America's most important critics. When conglomerates were the rage, he preached against reckless mergers and acquisitions. When executives were engaged in empire-building, he argued against excess staff and the inefficiencies of numerous "assistants to".

In a 1984 essay he persuasively argued that CEO pay had rocketed out of control and implored boards to hold CEO compensation to no more than 20 times what the rank and file made. He maintained that multi-million-dollar severance packages had perverted management's ability to look out anything but itself. What particularly enraged him was the tendency of corporate managers to reap massive earnings while firing thousands of their workers. "This is morally and socially unforgivable," wrote Drucker, "and we will pay a heavy price for it."

彼得?德鲁克在世时就已成为传奇人物。在95 年的光辉岁月里,他广著名作,多才多艺,在宗教、哲学以及政治学领域都堪为人师。然而他最重要的成就无疑还是在商业领域。管理学中的德鲁克正如经济学里的约翰. 凯恩斯。

二十世纪八十年代,彼得?德鲁克开始对商业模式乃至资本主义制度本身产生了深深的怀疑。他不再认为公司是创造和谐氛围的理想场所,事实上,他所目睹的与此截然相反:公司里人人各为其利,而这与他一直倡导的公平原则相违背。无论是在著作还是演讲中,德鲁克都针锋相对,成为美国式企业制度最重要的批判者之一。适逢大财团纷纷涌现,他不厌其烦,尽数此类疯狂兼并和收购的弊端。当职业经理人们埋头建造商业帝国时,他指出冗员和机构臃肿会造成效率低下,危害不浅。

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

翻硕历年真题 本文系统介绍翻译硕士考研难度,翻译硕士就业,翻译硕士考研辅导,翻译硕士考研参考书,翻译硕士专业课五大方面的问题,凯程翻译硕士老师给大家详细讲解。特别申明,以下信息绝对准确,凯程就是王牌的翻译硕士考研机构! 一、翻硕真题 翻硕英语统共分为四个部分,第一部分是选择题,共20题,都是些词组,同义词,语法之类的考点,题目里面有很多生单词。第二部分是客观题阅读,共7道。第三部分是主观选择题,共四道。第四部分是作文。最后一门是百科,之前一直比较害怕名词解释,担心有很多不会的,结果卷子发下来发现它是给几段话然后从段落中划出需要解释的内容。看到这里就不太担心了,即使你对于该名词一无所知还是可以从段落中发现蛛丝马迹的。百科三部分,分别是名词解释,应用文写作以及最后的大作文。 二、翻译硕士难度大不大,跨专业的人考上的多不多? 近些年翻译硕士很火,尤其是像这样的著名学校。总体来说,翻译硕士招生量大,考试难度不高,2015年翻译硕士的招生人数为60人,含35人推免。每年都有大量二本三本学生考取的。根据凯程从研究生院内部的统计数据得知,翻译硕士的考生中90%是跨专业考生,在录取的学生中,基本都是跨专业考的。 在考研复试的时候,老师更看重跨专业学生的能力,而不是本科背景。其次,翻译硕士考试科目里,百科,翻译及基础本身知识点难度并不大,跨专业的学生完全能够学得懂。即使本科学翻译的同学,专业课也不见得比你强多少(大学学的内容本身就非常浅)。所以记住重要的不是你之前学得如何,而是从决定考研起就要抓紧时间完成自己的计划,下定决心,就全身心投入,要相信付出总会有回报。在凯程辅导班里很多这样三凯程生,都考的不错,主要是看你努力与否。 三、翻译硕士就业怎么样? 现在国内紧缺的专业翻译人才五大方向为会议口译(广泛应用于外交外事、会晤谈判、商务活动、新闻传媒、培训授课、电视广播、国际仲裁等领域),法庭口译(目前国内这一领域的高级口译人才几乎是空白),商务口译,联络陪同口译(企业、政府机构都有大量的外事接待事务,联络陪同口译的任务就是在接待、旅游等事务中担任口译工作),文书翻译(企业、出版社、翻译公司等机构都需要具备专业素养的文本翻译人才,这一领域的人才缺口更大)。 由此来看,翻译硕士就业前景非常不错,毕业生整体需求还是比较旺盛的。翻译硕士的含金量很大,现在经济贸易的国际化程度越来越高,对翻译的需求也是很大的,这种专业性人才是非常有市场的,只要能力够就业很轻松,工资也很高,出国的机会也会特别多。 四、翻译硕士各细分专业介绍 翻译硕士日语口译专业方向学费总额为8万元;日语笔译方向学费总额为5万元;英语笔译(语言服务管理)方向学费总额为8万元。 翻译硕士专业的培养目标是通过对研究生进行系统的教育与训练,使其掌握扎实的双语转换与语言技术实用能力,获得丰富的语言服务管理经验,成为符合国家翻译专业资格认证标准,符合语言服务行业需求的应用型、复合型高级语言服务管理专才,其专业方向如下:日语口译方向; 日语笔译方向;

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?
