问答题很高兴在这次教育国际论坛上与大家交流我对21世纪教育的看法。21世纪，我们看到知识成了创造力和财富的源泉。知识能通过网络分享，我们生活在一个由网络连通的智慧时代。我们分享资源并形成各种伙伴关系。知识与经验的交流和分享创造了一个互惠互利的共同进步的环境。 在21世纪，创造和运用知识是竞争的关键，也是国家繁荣和积累财富的关键。这要求国民在工作中不断积累知识，提高技术水平。国民必须接受多层次的教育与培训，而最根本的做法就是普及教育，也就是让人人都获得接受教育的机会。而要达到普及教育的目的，我们必须通过“开放式学习”方法和技术来扩大教育范围，极大地增加学生接受教育的机会。 在开放式学习系统里，学生能学会如何成功地参与团队活动。在这样的团队活动中，学生能够互动，谦虚倾听别人的见解，学会尊重他人的观点，同时也培养批判性思维的能力。 在经济全球化的背景下，我们看到有更多的跨经济、跨国界的合作伙伴出现。一个国家要在经济全球化的竞争中取胜，必须为其公民提供普及教育以优化个人对社会的贡献。而普及教育只有在开放式学习中才能实现。

问答题赵：“地球日”是怎么回事?什么时候开始的?都取得了哪些成就? Smith: Earth Day was started in 1970．It was set to help raise the general public"s environ- mental awareness．For one thing，it provides a special day to remind people to take care of the Earth．It also gives special interest and environmental groups an opportunity to motivate their members to take action in their communities． 赵：听起来不错。可就在环保取得成绩的同时，人口膨胀、臭氧层空洞、全球气候变暖这些问题一点也没有改善。地球人口越多，资源消耗的越多，产生的垃圾也越多，到时连种粮食的地都没有了怎么办?对此我们决不可掉以轻心。 Smith: That is certainly true．By the year 2005，there will be 7 billion people on the planet．I personally think that recycling is the answer．Paper，metal，rubber，oil，and many other materials are going to have to be recycled on a much greater scale．Everyone will have to be involved．Perhaps even special legislation will be required．It is true that we are losing millions of hectares every year to housing and roads．But there is still a lot of undeveloped land that could be used for both farming and housing．And science and technology is helping us to get more out of the land that is used for farming． 赵：那么今年“地球日”你打算都干点什么呢? Smith: I will probably attend our city"s annual Earth Day celebrations and thenhelp pick up the mountain of garbage leftover．

问答题女士们，先生们： 英国以其灿烂的文化、众多的发明创造为世界文明和进步作出了巨大的贡献，也对中国社会的发展产生了重要的影响。改革开放以来，中国积极提倡学习、吸收包括英国在内的世界各国先进的科学技术、管理经验和优秀文化成果，以促进自己的现代化进程。中国一贯重视英国在欧洲及世界的地位和作用。中英都是 联合国安理会常任理事国，在维护世界和平、促进共同发展方面肩负着重大责任，也存在着广泛的共同利益。我们应该站在战略高度，以长远眼光来看待中英关系，希望双方多来往，多了解，多协商，多合作。

问答题Ladies and Gentlemen, What values should we pursue for the prosperity of Asia in the new century? I believe that the three values of freedom, diversity and openness are the driving forces behind peace and development in Asia. First, it goes without saying that freedom refers to democracy and human rights politically. Economically, it means the development of a market economy. Political freedom and economic freedom are reinforcing each other in the process of their development. With some twists and turns, Asia as a whole has been taking significant steps towards freedom over the last half century. Transition to a democratic political system has been inevitable, as economic development has created the conditions for the emergence of a middle class and civil society. I believe that the historic trends that are apparent in Asia should be a source of pride for us all. Second, development in Asia has occurred against a background of tremendous diversity, where each country has its own distinctive history and social and cultural values. Naturally, we thus see differences in the processes and speed of development. While respecting diversity, however, it is important for us to promote our common interests and our shared goals, recognizing positive influences of each other despite differences among countries. In other words, we must leave behind parochial nationalism and dogmatism, promote mutually beneficial cooperation based on equality in order to enjoy common prosperity. This should be our guiding principle. Third, our cooperation must not be of an inward-looking, closed nature, but one characterized by openness to the world outside Asia. In a world economy where globalization is advancing and economic integration, such as in Europe and Americas, is proceeding, cooperation both within Asia and between Asia and other regions must be pursued. This cooperation must be based on the principles of openness and transparency. I believe Asia should set an example for the world by seeking regional cooperation that surpasses national and ethnic distinction. So, as we pursue prosperity in a free, diverse and open Asia, what are the specific challenges that we face? I"d like to discuss three challenges. They are reform, cooperation and conveying Asia"s voice to the world.

问答题女士们、先生们! 这是我第三次访问非洲。非洲自然资源丰富，发展潜力巨大。尽管经历了数百年的殖民统治和掠夺，尽管现在还面临着不少困难和挑战，但非洲人民勤劳勇敢、不畏艰难、勇于进取，给我们留下了深刻印象。时代在发展，非洲在进步。我们高兴地看到，经过几代人的奋斗，非洲大陆完成了非殖民化进程，废除了种族隔离制度，对人类文明进步做出了巨大贡献。经过几十年的不懈努力，非洲的和平与发展事业取得了积极进展。近年来，非洲致力于解决地区冲突，总体形势趋向稳定。非洲各国以经济建设、摆脱贫困和改善民生为首要任务，积极探索适合本国国情的发展道路，全非经济连续九年保持增长。非洲在国际社会的帮助下，着力兴办教育，注重培养人才，努力解决艾滋病等社会问题。非洲国家同其他发展中国家携手推动南南合作，在国际事务中发挥着积极作用。中国政府和人民对非洲取得的每一项成就都由衷地感到高兴。我们相信在非洲各国政府和人民的不懈努力和国际社会的支持下，非洲的振兴一定会实现。

问答题过去的一年，对中国人民来说是很不寻常的一年，是改革开放和社会主义现代化建设取得显著成就的一年。经济快速发展。国内生产总值比上年增长9.1%，达到 11.67万亿元；按现行汇率计算，人均国内生产总值突破1000美元，跨上一个重要台阶。 国家财力明显增强。全国财政收入达到2.17万亿元，比上年增加2787亿元。对外贸易大幅增长。进出口总额比上年增长37.1%，达到8512亿美元，由上年居世界第五位上升到第四位。 就业超过预期目标。城镇新增就业859万人，下岗失业人员再就业440万人。居民收入增加。城镇居民可支配收入实际增长9%，农民人均纯收入实际增长4.3%。

问答题谈到亚洲的经济，一位世界银行的官员表示，他经常周游列国，几乎每周都会飞到亚洲，每次来到这里他都感觉良好。他认为，亚洲克服了前所未有的经济困难，虽然经济转型估计还会持续一段时间，但亚洲已经打下了良好的基础，足以建立起长期的繁荣稳定。因此，他对亚洲经济，特别是中国经济的中、长期发展感到乐观。他指出，到2020年，中国的生产总值会再翻两番，达到四万亿美元。他相信，只要亚洲各国努力把握面前的机遇，从长远看，亚洲经济的前景会是光明的。

问答题It is a great pleasure for me to welcome you to this meeting on such an important issue as science, information and society. Today, science and information are opening up new horizons for human development. They do so through the exchange of scientific knowledge, the expansion of education and training, and the promotion of creativity and intercultural dialogue. Our organization is required therefore to help enlarge the spread of science and information through better education. Yet science education does not take place only in universities and institutions of higher education. An early start must be made if we are to increase the numbers of students who are interested in pursuing a scientific career. The uneven distribution of science and information between the industrialized and developing countries also raises concerns. According to a UN Report, industrialized countries, with only 15% of the world's population, are home to 88% of all Internet users. Less than 1% of people in South Asia are online, even though it is home to one-fifth of the world's population, The situation is even worse in Africa. There are only one million Internet users on the entire continent whereas in the UK alone there are 10.5 million. In other words, capacity-building is vital for the developing world if they are to become knowledge societies. These are some of the key issues that I hope you will discuss during the upcoming meeting. In particular, I am keen to hear your views on how this meeting can make a difference and, indeed, how science and information can make a difference in building knowledge societies. Thank you.

问答题Dear friends, Water is essential for human health and well being. Water also helps to reduce poverty. Without water, there would be no life on this planet. Although water covers about two-thirds of the Earth's surface, only 2.5% of the world's water is drinkable. Many millions of people around the world face water shortages. Many millions of children die every year from water-borne diseases. And drought regularly afflicts some of the world's poorest countries. The world needs to respond much better. We need to increase water efficiency, especially in agriculture. We need to free women and girls from the daily chore of carrying water, often over great distances. We must involve them in decision-making on water management. We need to make sanitation a priority. This is where progress is needed most. And we must show that water resources need not be a source of conflict. Instead, they can call for cooperation. Significant gains have been made. But a major effort is still required. That is why this year marks the beginning of the "Water for Life" Decade. Our goal is to meet the internationally agreed targets for water and sanitation by 2015, and to build the foundation for further progress in the years beyond. This is an urgent matter of human development, and human dignity. Together, we can provide safe, clean water to all the world' s people. The world's water resources are our lifeline for survival, and for sustainable development in the 21st century. Together, we must manage them better. Thank you.

问答题I see a very clear link here between British science, the development of British universities and the technological revolution. A couple of weeks ago, I had a presentation at Downing Street from some of our leading scientists. It covered fields such as nanotechnology, brain transmitters and the latest in IT. The potential in all cases was immense, for industrial production, medicine and communications. The connection between top quality scientific research and business spin-offs and development was obvious. And in the end, of course, it is business managers or public service reformers that will apply the technology in new ways. The point I am making is this. Part of winning this IT battle for the future is to create a culture in which the worlds of education, academia, science, technology and business are engaged in a perpetual conversation and exchange of views. A conversation in which we are breaking new ground in scientific and technological advance, in which our schools and universities feel comfortable with its potential; in which business and society are naturally looking for ways of applying the advances made. There are now 600 million people online. Worldwide 140,000 more people connect to the net every day. In the last three decades the price of a transatlantic phone call has fallen to a small fraction of its original level. In the same period, just as Intel"s Gordon Moore predicted, computing power has doubled every eighteen months to two years. A 3G handset, soon to be on sale in every high street in the UK, has around 20,000 times more computing power than the Apollo 11 spacecraft. Recently, we witnessed an incredible moment when scientists at MIT in the US and UCL in London teamed up to pull off the first transatlantic virtual handshake. Using second-generation Internet technology, they recreated the sense of touch over a 3,000-mile distance — a remarkable development that could have applications for areas as diverse as medicine and design.

问答题Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, Thanks for the warm welcome. I appreciate very much the invitation to come today. I'm really glad to be back in this great city. It's good to be in a room full of accomplished women. I enjoy being in the company of entrepreneurs, risk-takers，dreamers and doers. You all share a lot of common experiences. You've met challenges of starting a business. And that's hard. It required more time than you had in a day, more money than you kept in your bank, and more energy than you thought you had. But you chose an interesting life-you chose to lead. You chose to follow your dreams. As we know, nearly half of all small businesses are owned by women. Firms owned by women are being started at more than twice the national rate. The entrepreneurial spirit is alive and well. I appreciate your spirit. You're making the country a better place by working as hard as you do. This is a land of great wealth, and it's a land of great opportunity, and you're seizing the opportunity. Through the hard work of our people, the innovation of our businesses, and the good policies now in place, we have put a recession behind us. Thanks in large part to your hard work, our economy is expanding, productivity is strong, unemployment has been falling, incomes are rising-and we're going to stay on this path of growth and prosperity. Thank you.

问答题Distinguished leaders and guests, I am honored to be with you today to celebrate our partnership with the Beijing Organizing Committee for the 2008 Olympic Games and the International Olympic Committee. We are excited to be part of the Olympic Movement, and we're even more excited about working together with BOCOG and the city of Beijing. If there is one quality that we share with the Olympic Games, it is the drive to be the best. And to us, that means making our customers win. And we want to see Beijing win. We want to help Beijing deliver a Green Olympics. We are the world's leading manufacturer of energy-efficient power generation equipment and consumer products. We support energy efficiency programs around the world. Last year, our water technologies business helped companies save over 3 billion gallons of water. That's enough water to fill over 12,000 Olympic-sized swimming pools. We want to help Beijing deliver a High-Tech Olympics. We have about 2,000 researchers in our Global Research Centers. Last year we invested more than US$4 billion in technology. And although the Olympics are going to be a great way to bring the world to Beijing, we are planning to be here long after the Olympic flame is extinguished. We are committed to Beijing and China well beyond 2008. I know that our Olympic partnership is going to strengthen the relationship that we and China have already established. We look forward to working with BOCOG and our Chinese customers to help stage a Great Olympics. Thank you.

问答题Ladies and gentlemen， Good morning! On behalf of the United Nations Development Program. I would like to extend my congratulations to the organizers of this forum. It is my great honor to be with you to join the deliberation on the subject, which we understand is closely linked with the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals and the Xiaokang vision, and will benefit China continuously. During the past 26 years, UNDP has been here to assist China by investing in development not only in terms of funds, but also in terms of knowledge sharing of international experiences. Now, UNDP assistance for the energy and environment portfolio has grown to become the largest UNDP program in China. The program covers energy efficiency, climate change, biodiversity conservation, pollution control, ozone protection, among others. I am pleased to inform you that the new Development Assistance Framework, which captures the areas of work for the UN system, has been prepared by the UN agencies and endorsed by the Chinese Government. The document identified key areas to guide the UN assistance to China during the next five years. Environmental and resources protection has been listed in the document as one of the five areas of support. We wish to join hands with the government, the business sector, academia. non-governmental organizations and international partners to support the environmental and resources protection in order to achieve the Millennium Development Goals and the Xiaokang vision in China. I wish the forum a great success. Thank you.

问答题A：您好!怀特先生。我叫夏征，是天明电机进口公司的副总经理。虽然这是我们首次见面，但在过去的函电往来中，我经常见到您的名字，久仰了。B: This is my first visit to the metropolis of Guangzhou and I'm deeply impressed by what I've seen here.A：您到这儿已经好几天了吧?去过哪些地方呢?B: Yes, I've been round the city, and seen some famous sites of historical interest. I enjoyed the visits very much, especially the visits to the museums.A： 您这么喜欢我们的城市，真是太好了。我想您也喜欢我们的商务建议吧。不知道您给我们带来了什么好消息?B: Well, I think we have explained to you in our correspondence why we could not accept your proposal. As you know, what you intend to buy from us will involve the whole factory equipment including the necessary accessories and parts. That's really a tremendous amount of work as well as money which are beyond our means.A：贵公司是世界上著名的跨国公司，电机业的龙头老大，我们要买的这个成套设备对你们来说根本算不了什么。B: But, Mr. Xia, you should understand that ours is a branch and our plan must be approved by the board of directors of the multinational before it is put into practice.A：我能理解。跨国公司子公司的财务都是独立核算、自负盈亏的。我了解贵公司，单独制造我们要买的这些成套设备对你们来说是毫无问题的，况且必要的时候你们总部还会给予财务帮助呢。B: Oh, I agree on that point. But you see, even if our head office gives us any financial aid, interest has to be paid just the same as a loan from a commercial bank. By the way, what about the banker's guarantee?A：我们会请中国银行担保。您有什么具体建议吗？B: Yes. I propose that payment be made by installments, that is, after each shipment we will send you the Bs/L and other necessary documents through our bank and yours — the Bank of China. To ensure the payment, the Bank of China should give us a written letter to the effect that they will guarantee the payment if the buyer fails to do so. And the letter of guarantee should reach us two months before shipment is due, as stipulated in the contract.A：对于您的这个建议我要带回去向我们的总经理汇报。我们公司要对这个问题进行研究，待我们拿出最终方案后，我们再约时间讨论好吗？B: OK. I am looking forward to the good news.

问答题A: 首先祝贺您荣膺本届奥斯卡最佳外语片奖。您知道，我们中国人一直有一个“奥斯卡情结”。能否请您谈谈看法?B: Thanks. Actually I've been an ardent fan of Chinese kungfu movies. And you know, some talented Chinese directors, like Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, and of course, An Lee, have already shown the great charm and potential of Chinese movies. They took in the last decade or so almost all film awards one by one, big or small, except Oscar. So, I can predict with great confidence they will win a heap of Oscar titles in ten years' time.A: 有人说，一年一度的奥斯卡金像奖没什么特别的，它只不过是一场游戏罢了。请问您怎么看?B: To some extent, yes. It is a game, a grand, happy game by Americans and in the American way. When it is finished, you needn't think about it any longer. It may benefit many people and boost their celebrity. For example, if an actor wins an Oscar, he or she will be able to sign five films the next year, each valued more than 10 million US dollars. All these are concrete things, but these aside, it is only a game, nothing special.A: 虽说是一场游戏，但为什么每年都会在全球范围内搞得沸沸扬扬，引发出那么多话题呢?B: Well, the reason is quite obvious — the American film industry is too strong! Most American films are commercial and they dominate the globe with their high box-office income and large market share. So Americans happily play such a grand game every year, making the whole world reel around it. My keenest feeling is only when a country becomes a decisive force on the international arena can its cultural products be influential. I believe that's the real reason why you Chinese, or even people all over the world, are unable to shake off their Oscar complex.
