问答题A few years ago, the rich world"s worry about economic interaction with developing countries was that the poor could not profit from it. So unbalanced were the terms of exchange between the North"s mighty industries and the South"s weakling sweatshops that trade between the two could be nothing more than exploitation of the one by the other; far from helping the poor countries, global integration would actually deepen their poverty. This fear has now given way to a pessimism that is equal and opposite—namely, that trade with the developing world will impoverish today"s rich countries.
This new fear is more dangerous than the old one. The earlier scare tacitly "affirmed that the industrial countries would suffer if they cut heir links with the third world. Starting from there, campaigning in the North to restrict trade with developing countries was going to be an uphill struggle. Those who oppose deeper economic integration now have a better platform. Vital interests oblige the rich countries to protect their industries from the new competition. Unlike its predecessor, this idea may sell.
The new fear, like the old one, expresses the conviction that growth in one part of the world must somehow come at the expense of another. This is a deeply rooted prejudice, and plainly wrong. Very nearly all of the world is more prosperous now than it was 30 years ago. Growth has been a story of mutual advance.
Lending useful support to this first error is a second—the idea that there is only so much work to go round. If new technologies make some jobs obsolete, or if an increase in the supply of cheap imports makes other jobs uneconomic, the result must be a permanent rise in unemployment. Again, on a moment"s reflection, this is wrong.
At the core of both errors is blindness to the adaptive power of a market economy.
问答题A recent study in the United States reports that the family life, education and health of America's children are generally improving, though child poverty has risen for the first time in a decade, according to the government's broadest measure of children's well-being.
The report shows that the teenage birth rate is down, young people are less likely to be involved in violent crimes and the death rate for this group has declined.
Experts say that teenagers who give birth are less likely to finish high school or to graduate from college than other girls of their age. Also, infants born to teenage mothers are more likely to be of low birth weight, which increases their chances of blindness, deafness, mental retardation, mental illness and cerebral palsy.
The study shows that young people were less likely to be victimized in a serious violent crime -- murder, rape, robbery or aggravated assault -- or to commit one. In 2002, there were 11 serious violent crimes per 1,000 people aged 12 to 17, compared with 15 per 1,000 youths in 2001.
Child mortality declined, too. In 2000, there were 18 deaths for every 100,000 children aged 5 to 14; a year later, there were 17 deaths for every 100,000 children in this age group. The infant mortality rate slightly increased. Seven of every 1,000 infants died before their first birthday in 2002, compared with a record low of 6.8 per. 1,000 in 2001.
Still, children are more likely to be overweight than they were before and child poverty has inched up after several years of decline.
The number of overweight children increased to 16 percent between 1999 and 2000, compared with from 11 percent in the early 1990s and 6 percent in the late 1970s.
That development "jeopardizes our children's future, making them vulnerable to chronic conditions such as diabetes and hypertension previously associated more with adults than with children," said Edward J. Sondik, director of the Center for Disease Control's National Center for Health Statistics.
The report said Mexican-American boys were at the highest risk, with 27 percent overweight followed by non-Hispanic girls at 23 percent.
The child obesity issue is a major cause for concern, a health expert said to reporters.
"This is a trend that's been at work since 1980 ... and as a trend, it shows no sign of reversing," the expert said.
Child poverty also grew, reaching 11. 6 million in 2002, compared with 11. 2 million a year earlier. Children living with single females continued to experience a higher poverty rate in 2002 than their counterparts in married-couple families -- 40 percent compared with 9 percent.
In 2002, 73 million children under 18 lived in the United States and made up 25 percent of the population.

汉译英全球气候变化深刻影响着人类生存和发展,是各国共同面临的重大挑战。气候变化是人类发展进程中出现的问题,既受自然因素影响,也受人类活动影响,既是环境问题,更是发展问题,同各国发展阶段、生活方式、人口规模、资源禀赋以及国际产业分工等因素密切相关。
归根到底,应对气候变化问题应该也只能在发展过程中推进,应该也只能靠共同发展来解决。中国已经制定和实施了《应对气候变化国家方案》,明确提出2005年到2010年降低单位国内生产总值能耗和主要污染物排放、提高森林覆盖率和可再生能源比重等有约束力的国家指标。
中国高度重视和积极推动以人为本、全面协调可持续的科学发展,明确提出了建设生态文明的重大战略任务,强调要坚持节约资源和保护环境的基本国策,坚持走可持续发展道路,在加快建设资源节约型、环境友好型社会和建设创新型国家的进程中不断为应对气候变化作出贡献。
今后,中国将进一步把应对气候变化纳入经济社会发展规划,并继续采取强有力的措施。一是加强节能、提高能效工作,争取到2020年单位国内生产总值、二氧化碳排放比2005年有显著下降。二是大力发展可再生能源和核能。三是大力增加森林碳汇。四是大力发展绿色经济,积极发展低碳经济和循环经济,研发和推广气候友好技术。

汉译英论想象力的培养
我的讲话是主张培养想象力。
那么,我是从什么意义上使用“想象力”这个词的呢? “想象力”一词的定义是:“构思出理想图画的能力”;“向自己或他人描述不在眼前的事物的能力。”我在下面的讲话使用“想象力”这个词时,就具有这样的含义。
沿着这条思路,我相信可以把我的意思讲清楚。不在眼前的事物是什么呢?例如历史就是。历史讲的是过去的事情。从某种意义上来说,历史并不存在于脑中——就是说,你看不到过去的事情;但是学习历史能使你得到并增强理解不在眼前的事物的能力。因此我愿向你们推荐历史课,那是一门最值得学习的课程。
汉译英汉译英气候变化已不是单纯的环境保护问题,而成为人类生存与发展问题
汉译英10年来,中国经济持续快速发展,经济实力、综合国力、人民生活水平迈上新的台阶,国家面貌发生举世瞩目的历史性变化,为促进亚洲和世界经济增长作出了重要贡献。
中国虽然取得了举世瞩目的发展成就,但仍然是世界上最大的发展中国家,经济社会发展面临巨大的人口、资源、环境压力,发展中不平衡、不协调、不可持续问题依然突出。
2011年,中国开始实施国民经济和社会发展第十二个五年规划纲要,提出了今后5年中国经济社会发展的总体任务。
未来5年,中国将着力实施扩大内需特别是消费需求的战略,建立长效机制,释放消费潜力,着力促进经济增长向依靠消费、投资、出口协调拉动转变。
中国将着力实施“走出去”战略,引导各类所有制企业有序到境外投资,积极开展有利于改善当地基础设施和人民生活的项目合作。中国将着力参与全球经济治理和区域合作,推动国际经济金融体系改革,推动建立均衡、普惠、共赢的多边贸易体制,反对各种形式的保护主义,促进国际经济秩序朝着更加公正合理的方向发展。

汉译英即使遇到丰收年景,对中国来说,要用世界百分之七的耕地养活全球五分之一的人口仍是一项艰巨的任务。
中国政府面临许多挑战,最严峻的挑战之一就是耕地流失。过去几年中,平均每年有66.7万公顷耕地被城市扩建、工业发展以及公路建设工程占用,另有1万平方公里的耕地被沙漠吞噬。
中国北方地区地下水位下降,农民不得不改种耐旱、地产作物,甚至撂荒。同时,农业基础设施损耗严重,三分之二的灌溉设施需要整修。
由于农民为增加收入而改种经济作物,农业生产方式正在转变。过去十几年,全国水果和蔬菜种植面积平均每年增加130万公顷。因此,水稻、玉米及小麦产量急剧下降。中国已由粮食净出口国变为粮食净进口国。
中国政府把农业改革视为头等大事,投入大量资金用于提高小麦和稻米的收购价以及改进农田灌溉基础设施。近年来,农产品的价格稳步上升,中国政府采取此项措施以提高农民种粮的积极性。
汉译英近年来,中国政府倡导国内旅游,推行“假日经济”政策,给公民每年3次为期一周的长假,让他们将更多储蓄用于旅游、购物和外出就餐。2004年,五一节的总旅游消费达390亿元人民币。
目前旅游业收入占国内生产总值的2.3%。预计到20l3年,旅游收入将每年增长10%,并创造4,000万个就业机会。
旅游的间接效益更大,估计创造了1,840亿美元的经济活动,以及5,400万个就业岗位。这些经济活动包括政府花在会议上的旅游开支,以及重要的旅游项目投资。
中国在公路、火车站和机场方面投资巨大。新航线和公交公司不断涌现,竞争降低了旅游成本。京沪间单程机票售价为850—900元人民币,有时还会更低。一些航线开展网上售票服务,方便人们购票。更多私车和汽车租赁中介的出现让数百万人不仅能跟团旅游,还能自己开车出游。
汉译英坚持对外开放基本国策,坚定不移地发展开放型经济、奉行互利共赢的开放战略,是改革开放30多年来中国经济持续快速发展的一条成功经验。招商引资、择优选资,促进“引资”与“引智”相结合,是中国对外开放的重要内容。
截至2010年7月,中国累计设立外商投资企业69.8万家,实际使用外资1.05万亿美元。目前中国22%的税收、28%的工业增加值、55%的进出口、50%的技术引进、约4500万人的就业,都来自外商投资企业的贡献。对外开放、吸引外资是互利共赢的。对中国来说,通过持续吸引外资为国家现代化建设提供了必要的资金、先进的技术和宝贵的管理经验以及众多国际化人才。对外商投资企业来说,则赢得了可观的投资回报,不少在华外商投资企业成为其母公司全球业务的增长亮点和利润中心。联合国贸发会议最新调查显示,目前中国依然是全球最具吸引力的投资东道国。
近年来,中国全面把握对外开放阶段性特点,按照完善内外联动、互利共赢、安全高效的开放型经济体系的要求,总结实践中的成功经验,把“引进来”和“走出去”更好地结合起来,创新对外投资和合作方式,支持企业在研发、生产、销售等方面开展国际化经营。
截至2009年底 ,中国共在境外设立企业1.3万家,境外企业资产总额超过1万亿美元,对外投资存量已达2457亿美元,投资区域遍布全球177个国家和地区。目前,中国正在加快推进各种形式的对外投资合作,培育发展中国的跨国公司,支持有实力的企业建立国际营销网络,加强境外基础设施建设合作,规范发展对外劳务合作,积极推动境外经贸合作区建设,缓解我国生产能力过剩、内需不足的矛盾,推动国内产业转型,带动相关产品和服务出口。
