【正确答案】今天我们在这里，为扩大全球打击非法买卖野生动物的声势，发出共同的声音。非法买卖野生动物的犯罪已经达到了空前的地步，对世界珍稀野生动物的杀戮和暴力不仅危及了它们的生存，还威胁到世界上很多地区的经济和政治稳定。我说过，我们必须把反对非法野生动物买卖视为一场战斗，因为不断增长和无法满足的需求给野生动物贩卖带来经济刺激，使其变成了犯罪行为，而且越来越专业。 有组织的犯罪者采用前所未见的手段疯狂盗猎大象、犀牛和老虎以及大量其他动物，把它们逼到濒临灭绝的危险处境。他们用最先进的战争武器，如突击步枪、消音器、夜视装备和直升机来猎杀野生动物。非武装的公园守护人员根本敌不过这些有组织的盗猎者和先进装备。可悲的是，许多英勇的守护人员为了抢救这些动物献出了自己的生命。 我们的后代所知道的世界里很可能没有这些美丽的动物和它们赖以生存的栖息地了，这真的令人震惊。我希望你们同意我的这一看法。今年，我更加积极地投入地球资源的保护工作，不单是为了我自己的儿子，也是为了他这一代所有的儿童。我希望他们能看到我孩提时代所看到的非洲。当然，对于那些本来就生活在野生动物天堂的非洲儿童，这更为重要。为了满足国际盗猎罪犯的贪婪，这些孩子正在丧失他们与生俱来的权利，这是非常不道德的。 我坚信，没有与其他造物共生的人类是不完整的人类。对这些濒危物种的破坏最终也将毁灭我们人类。为了说明问题的严重性，让我给你们一些惊人的数据：去年，3万多头大象遭到猎杀，几乎是每天死亡100头。过去的10年间，62％的非洲森林象消失了。如果这种情况继续下去，非洲森林象只需10年就会彻底灭绝。在亚洲，大约一百年前有十万只野生老虎，而如今，野外生活的老虎还不足3200只。 尽管面临严重危机，我们仍然乐观，坚信这种局势能够得到扭转。在加强执法，禁止进口和购买野生动物制品等方面，基层有关人员做了大量出色的工作，非常了不起。许多国家的政府最高层也开始重视这个问题了，这让我们很受鼓舞。尤其令人振奋的是，许多非洲国家领导人正在积极制定行动计划，寻求解决方案。 我们希望这次会议能产生切实的成果。无论是政府，国际组织，还是私人企业，都难以独自承担如此艰巨的任务。只有大家一致行动才能击败这种高度组织化的犯罪。在这种危害面前，感到力不从心是很自然的，但是我看到了基层在保护动物方面取得进步所产生的巨大影响。我也看到了在减少野生动物制品消费的宣传方面社会媒体的力量。我们每一个人都可以发出声音，表达我们的支持。我们这一代人必须制止非法野生动物买卖，保护这些珍惜动物的将来和它们的栖息地，因为一旦失败，将为时过晚。

【答案解析】原文： The torrent of innovation and entrepreneurship sweeping China has become a new engine fueling China’s economic growth, and in this process capital has played an indispensable role. People asked me which areas will create new leaders and therefore attract more attention from investors? Well, I think there are indeed industrial leaders in almost every visible segment. But when it comes to the new economy, newcomers always stand a chance of defeating those first arrivals. From my point of view, opportunities exist in at least three areas. First, there are plenty of opportunities in a niche market. For instance, JD.com is a leading general E-commerce website, but there are many other E-commerce platforms focused on selling one particular type of product such as cosmetics or baby products. Second, opportunities exist along the industrial chain of E-commerce. Take Amazon, for example, it’s a business-to-customer website, where third-party sellers are invited to open stores. Solving cross-border logistics problems such as customs, storage, logistics and supply chains for Amazon sellers could be a huge business. Third, with the advent of the mobile Internet era, new location-based and social-based opportunities will pop up. For example, taxi-hailing apps Uber, Didi Dache and Kuaidi Dache are areas that Internet giants once overlooked or failed to cover. Investment opportunities in TMT (telecommunications, media and technology) will exist in at least the above-mentioned three areas. New areas such as big data and cloud computing will churn out plenty of opportunities as well. These are all investment directions for us, with unlimited room for development. To answer the question of what new businesses I’m interested in, personally, I favor three types of business start-ups — those with a hi-tech barrier, those with an innovation business model and those with established skills in a certain segment. The first and third types are easy to understand, but the second one could be a little tricky. Basically, a company has to create a completely new model to enter a potentially huge market. I would be really interested in this kind of business start-up. People ask, when a revenue is absent at the early stage, how can you tell whether a company is worth investing in? I think a sound and good revenue is an essential issue in the investment world, but it is often a paradox, in both the Chinese and U.S. markets. Many Internet giants either didn’t have one clear revenue model at the early stage, or had one but changed to a different model as it grew. By virtue of this paradox, we should never rule out a project arbitrarily when its revenue model is absent or unclear. This is, of course, the difficult part for a venture capitalist, but is also the most attractive part of the job. And it is a must-have quality in the investment world. That’s what sorts out outstanding professional venture capitalists from lame ones. As a matter of fact, the management team matters more at the early stage. I believe that an excellent team has a strong ability to cash in on what it has to offer. It can take the company to success. Some people say there are bubbles in the technology industry in China, and the bubbles may soon burst. Well, I think bubbles in this area are quite obvious. The valuation of some tech firms is too high. Meanwhile, whenever a new concept appears within a sector, it quickly becomes very crowded, with intensifying or even cut-throat competition. As a result, both investors and entrepreneurs become more anxious. This was the case especially during 2014. But the market has restored some of its rationality since 2015. Overheating does exist in the venture capital market. It’s mostly because there’s too much hot money available in the market, but not so many investment channels.
