打造中国经济的升级版

Black economy

When the world was a simpler place, the rich were fat, the poor were thin, and right-thinking people worried about how to feed the hungry. Now, in much of the world, the rich are thin, the poor are fat, and right-thinking people are worrying about obesity.Evolution is mostly to blame. It has designed mankind to cope with deprivation, not plenty. People are perfectly tuned to store energy in good years to see them through lean ones. But when bad times never come, they are stuck with that energy stored around their expanding bellies.Thanks to rising agricultural productivity, lean years are rarer all over the globe. Modern-day Malthusians(马尔萨斯主义者), who used to draw graphs proving that the world Was shortly going to run out of food, have gone rather quietly lately. Mankind has won what was, for most of his time on this planet, his biggest battle: to ensure that he and his offspring had enough to eat. But every silver lining has a cloud, and the consequence of prosperity is a new plague that brings with it a host of interesting policy dilemmas.As a scourge of the modern world, obesity has an image problem. It is easier to associate with Father Christmas than with the four horses of apocalypse(《启示录》), but it has a good claim to lumber along beside them, for it is the world" s biggest public-health issue today—the main cause of heart disease, which kills more people these days than AIDS, malaria, war; the principal risk factor in diabetes; heavily implicated in cancer and other diseases. Since the World Health Organization labeled obesity an " epidemic" in 2000, reports on its fearful consequences have come thick and fast.With public-health warnings, combined with media pressure, persuade people to get thinner, just as they finally put them off tobacco? Possibly. In the rich world, sales of healthier foods are booming and new figures suggest that over the past year Americans got very slightly thinner for the first time in recorded history. But even if Americans are losing a few ounces, it will be many years before the country solves the health problems caused by half a century" s dining to excess. And, everywhere else in the world, people are still piling on the pounds, that" s why there is now a consensus among doctors that governments should do something to stop them.

Add a comma to the present clause, and, of a sudden, the mind is, quite literally, given pause to think; take it out if you wish or forget it and the mind is deprived of a resting place. Yet still the comma gets no respect. It seems just a slip of a thing, a pedant"s tick, a blip on the edge of our consciousness, a kind of printer"s smudge almost. Small, we claim, is beautiful. Yet what is so often used, and so rarely called, as the comma—unless it be breath itself?Punctuation becomes the signature of cultures. The hot-blooded Spaniard seems to be revealed in the passion and urgency of his doubled exclamation points and question marks, while the impassive Chinese traditionally added to his so-called inscrutability by omitting directions from his ideograms.Punctuation is something more than a culture"s birthmark; it scores the music in our minds, gets our thoughts moving to the rhythm of our hearts. Punctuation is the notation in the sheet music of our words, telling us when to rest, or when to raise our voices; it acknowledges that the meaning of our discourse, as of any symphonic composition, lies not only in the units but in the pauses, the pacing and the phrasing.Sometimes our markings may be simply a matter of aesthetics. Popping in a comma can be like slipping on the necklace that gives an outfit quiet elegance, or like catching the sound of running water that complements as it completes the silence of a Chinese landscape.Thus a comma gives us breath and heft and depth. A world that has only periods is a world without inflections. It is a world without shade. It is a music without sharps and flats. It is a martial music. It has a jackboot rhythm. Words cannot bend and curve. A comma, by comparison, catches the gentle drift of the mind in thought, turning in on itself and back on itself, reversing, redoubling and returning along the course of its own sweet river music.

近来法律方面的研究表明，目击者在法庭上对嫌疑犯的指认并非想象中的那么可靠。记忆是十分复杂的，在有关我们的大脑如何工作以及我们的记忆能达到什么程度方面，人们普遍持有的一些看法常常是错误的。无论是常识还是研究都表明记忆会随时间的流逝而变得模糊。刚刚接受信息后的回忆和识别能力是最准确的，它先是迅速下降，然后逐渐减弱。拖延的时间越长，事件之后得到的信息越有可能与原始的记忆相冲突，从而降低其准确性。而且，目击者事后会看到、读到一些信息，然后将它融合进来，产生某种与所经历的事情不同的东西，使他们对事件和罪犯记忆的可靠性大大降低。对法官和陪审团来说，断定记忆最终是可靠的事实还是不可靠的编造在很大程度上似乎仍然是个挑战。

Pyeongchang defeated rivals Munich and Annecy, France, in the first round of a secret ballot of the international Olympic Committee.

I believe both Chinese and Americans aspire to many of the same things: to provide for our families, to teach our children, to build our community, to protect our earth, to shape our own future and pass brighter possibilities on to our children. There may be those here and back in America, who wonder whether close ties and deep friendship between America and China are good. Clearly the answer is Yes. We have a powerful ability to help each other grow. We can learn from each other. As two great nations, we have a special responsibility to the future of the world. The steps we take over the next week will lead to greater strides for our people in the years ahead. Here in this city of your magnificent history, we must always remember that we too are ancestors. Someday our children and their children will ask if we did all we could to build just societies and a more peaceful world. Let our monument be their judgment that we did that. Let our progress include all people with all their differences, moving toward a common destiny. Let us give new meaning to the words written in the ancient book of rites, that you call, the Li Ji, "When the great way is followed, all under heaven will be equal." (From Remarks in Welcoming Ceremonies in Xi'an)

八国峰会

I had an experience some years ago which taught me something about the ways in which people make a bad situation worse by blaming themselves. One January, I had to officiate at two funerals on successive day s for two elderly women in my community. Both had died "full of years," as the Bible would say; both yielded to the normal wearing out of the body after a long and full life. Their homes happened to be near each other, so I paid condolence calls(吊唁)on the two families on the same afternoon. At the first home, the son of the deceased(已故的)woman said to me, " If only I had sent my mother to Florida and gotten her out of this cold and snow, she would be alive today. It" s my fault that she died. " At the second home, the son of the other deceased woman said, " If only I hadn" t insisted on my mother" s going to Florida, she would be alive today. That long airplane ride, the abrupt change of climate, were more that she could take. It" s my fault that she" s dead. When things don" t turn out as we would like them to, it is very tempting to assume that had we done things differently, the story would have had a happier ending Priests know that any time there is a death, the survivors will feel guilty. Because the course of action they took turned out badly, they believed that the opposite course—keeping Mother at home, postponing the operation— would have turned out better. After all, how could it have turned out any worse? Where seem to be two elements involved in our readiness to feel guilty. The first is our pressing need to believe that the world makes sense, that there is a cause for every effect and a reason for everything that happens. That leads us to find patterns and connections both where they really exist and where they exist only in our minds. The second element is the notion that we are the cause of what happens, especially the bad things that happen. It seems to be a short step from believing that every event has a cause and every disaster is our fault. The roots of this feeling may lie in our childhood. Psychologists speak of the infantile myth of omnipotence(万能). A baby comes to think that the world exists to meet his needs, and that he makes everything happen in it. He wakes up in the morning and summons the rest of the world to its tasks. He cries, and someone comes to attend to him. When he is hungry, people feed him, and when he is wet, people change him. Very often, we do not completely outgrow that infantile notion that our wishes cause things to happen.

人类自有文化就有文化交流。人类文化从总体上来说，是各国、各民族文化汇聚和交流的产物。在现代国家中，绝对不受外来影响的固有文化是不存在的。事实也近乎如此。中国古代的四大发明曾经给古代世界的文化发展以巨大的推动。汉唐文化对朝鲜、日本等毗邻国家的文化发展，更是给予了深刻而又久远的影响。同样，近代和现代西方的许多重要科学成果，也改变了并继续改变着当代中国人的生活。对外开放成了我国将要长期坚持不变的基本国策。这就为我们的国际文化交流，开辟了更为广阔的前景。我们向世界各国借鉴一切对我们有益的东西，用以建设自己的物质文明和精神文明。同时，我们又向各国人民介绍他们感兴趣的事物。通过相互交流，增进了解和友谊，促进科学文化的共同发展。
