中美两国建交以来，人民之间的交往不断扩大。两国已缔结了23对友好省州和123对姊妹城市。去年，到中国旅游的美国人多达131万人次。中国赴美探亲、求学、经商的有44万人次。中国有超过18万人曾在美国留学，目前在读的留学生有六万余人。而在中国学习的美国留学生只有约3000人，位居外国在华留学人数第三位。中美在教育领域的交流与合作还有很大发展空间。中国绝大多数大中小学都学习英语，总人数超过1.2亿。美国已有近1000所高校和200多所中小学开设了中文课程，华人华侨开办了近600所中文学校，包括在马里兰大学创建的孔子学院。但与中美交往的需要将比，美国的汉语教学任重道远。

Remarks at Jinan University, Guangzhou by U.S. Commerce Secretary Gary

Locke

美国商务部长骆家辉在广州暨南大学的演讲

2009年10月27日

Good afternoon everyone. It is an honor to be with you at Jinan University. I have been looking forward to this visit to southern China for some time. My roots are here. The ancestral home of my family, a village called Jilong, where my mother and father were married, is located here in Guangdong Province. My brother and sisters and I, and our spouses, were delighted to join my parents when they returned for a visit a few years ago. It was the trip of a lifetime for all of us.

Let me begin this afternoon by congratulating each of you for your acceptance at one of China’s premie r universities. Jinan has produced countless government, business, and academic leaders throughout its history –and is recognized as one of the leading research universities in China. You are here at Jinan at a time in Chinese and world history that is at the same time frightening and exciting.

On top of a struggling global economy, our world has more serious issues to deal with than we'd all care to count. Climate change, poverty, disease, terrorism -- each issue on its own is enough to consume all of our time. But we've got to deal with them all at once. It's enough to make anyone despair for the future. But not me.

I'm optimistic and confident the world is equipped to deal with the challenges we face -- and a big part of the reason is seeing young people like you. Because although these problems are daunting, they do have solutions. Many of them can be solved with

the science, math and engineering skills that you learn here every day. With your talent, your creativity and your ingenuity, you have the power to make a real difference, and I hope you will seize that opportunity. But your skills alone are not enough. That's only half the equation.

To spur the new technologies, China needs to grow its economy and help solve the world's problems, China must also have a system of laws and a regulatory infrastructure that rewards and protects those who take risks to develop new innovations; and it must vigorously enforce those laws and regulations. And your school, Jinan University, has taken a huge step to empower innovators like you for decades to come. Jinan has established a College of Intellectual Property, the first of its kind in Guangdong Province.

Earlier today, I participated in the “Pearl River Delta International Forum on Innova tion and Intellectual Property.” And just now, I had the opportunity to meet with some of the students from your College of IP. As I told the Vice Dean, the fact that an entire school is devoted to the study of intellectual property and its protection indicates the impressive progress China has made in the area.

As China’s economy evolves from an export-driven model to one focusing on high-tech and high-value innovation and domestic consumption, intellectual property rights will become paramount. I know that building an effective patent and trademark system is not easy -- because over 200 years after its founding, the United States is still working to perfect its own.

Only a few years after the American Revolution, our third president Thomas Jefferson helped create the U.S. patent office because he understood two fundamental truths. He knew:

That long term economic growth was dependent on a continuous flow of new technologies and new ideas entering the marketplace;

But he also knew that without a promise of ownership protection for these ideas, innovators would never be willing to take risks to improve upon the status quo.

But he also knew that without a promise of ownership protection for these ideas, innovators would never be willing to take risks to improve upon the status quo.

Although the United States continues efforts to reform our own patent system to reflect the rapid changes in the global economy, the necessity of having robust patent and trademark protections is not a matter of serious debate.

Speech of Richard Sambrook, Director of Global News at the BBC

at the World Media Summit in Beijing

英国广播公司全球新闻总裁理查德·山姆布鲁克在世界媒体峰会上的演讲Good Morning. Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen.

I'd like to thank the Xinhua News Agency for inviting me here.

It is truly an honor to address this distinguished audience in such a magnificent venue and to be able to experience the renowned warmth and generosity of the Chinese people, here in its capital city.

I'm the Director of Global News at the BBC - that's the umbrella which holds together all the BBC's international news services - our English language services like the BBC World News television channel TV; https://www.360docs.net/doc/1d11668810.html,/news; and, of course, BBC World Service - now a multimedia broadcast organization which broadcasts in 32 languages, including English and Chinese.

I lead services that currently achieve weekly multimedia audiences of 238 million across the globe. We are gathered here at the first-ever World Media Summit in Beijing.

This is an unprecedented gathering of global media organizations, including wire services, newspapers and magazines, radio and television broadcasters and online media. We are all successful media organizations with vast experience of reaching massive numbers of readers, listeners and viewers.

The challenges we face will be familiar to all of you:

· Seismic shifts on global media

· The internet making everything global

· Fierce competition from media outlets that wouldn't have registered a few years ago

· New technologies creating rapid changes in audience expectations - not least to contribute and take part and to consume when and how they choose

But, on the plus side, in an ever more interconnected inter-dependent world, globalization makes international media more relevant than ever.

This forum is an important opportunity to hear the experiences of some of the leading and most innovative players in the world as we start to map out that future.

Speech of Tom Curley, President and CEO of AP (The Associated Press)

World Media Summit

汤姆·柯里美联社社长兼首席执行官致辞

世界媒体峰会

President Li, I salute you for your leadership and vision in organizing this summit. The timing could not be better. The Associated Press and I are honored to join with all your guests in exchanging ideas at this moment of profound economic, technical and cultural change. We especially are pleased to be in Beijing at this moment - at the 60th anniversary celebration for the People's Republic of China.

The marketplace for news content is growing. More people in more places seek out news more often than ever. Yet, we don't get paid appropriately for our hard work and the risks we take.

Free-riders and pirates are claiming they're entitled to our property. And we face challenges in adapting to a world where our former customers - consumers of news - easily can help produce or report the news. Whether you live in west Texas or west China, news can come from tweets even before agencies as AP or Xinhua have found out and begun their reporting.

Much about this era and its dislocating technologies is good. Much requires us to adjust as well. President Li has called us together to share our ideas about priorities and, hopefully, some efforts at maintaining our relevance. Thank you, President Li, for both this opportunity and, as ever, your gracious and spirited hospitality. You make any visit to Beijing very special and memorable.

1.中国人口的出生率和增长率分别由1990年的

2.106%和1.439%下降到1997

年的1.657%和1.006%。到1997年末，全国总人口为12亿3626万人。

In China，the birth rate and growth rate dropped from 2.106% and 1.439% in 1990 to 1.657% and 1.006% in 1998 respectively. By the end of 1997, China has a population of 1 billion 236 million and 260 thousand (1,236,260 thousand).

2. 陕西历史博物馆占地约7万平方米，建筑面积5万多平方米。国家投资1.44亿元人民币，兴建了这座博物馆，于1991年6月建成开放。

The Shaanxi History Museum covers an area of 70.000 square meters with a floor space of over 50,000 square meters. The state government invested 144 million yuan in the establishment of this museum. It was completed and open to the public in June, 1991.

3. In 1997, Australian universities hosted about 62,000 postgraduate students from all over the world. The number of international students in Australia continues to grow

by at least 14% annually. Every year, only 300 Chinese students are able to get scholarships from Australian universities.

4. Today about 20% of American children live with only one parent. One of the reasons for this is the increasing number of women who have children without being married. The United States Census Bureau recently released a report on the situation. The report included women between the ages of 18 and 44 who had never been married. It said 24 percent of them had at least one child. Almost 4 million unmarried women in the United States are mothers. This is an increase of almost 60 percent in the past ten years.

Step 2: figures of rates, ratios and totals (20)

Rates and ratios are usually spoken or written as follows:

Japan has a population density of 329 inhabitants per square kilometer;

In 1991 unemployment in Britain stood at almost eight percent; approximately one worker in twelve was unemployed.

E.g. Belgium has an area of thirty one thousand square kilometers, its population is ten million one hundred thousand and the population density is three hundred and

Statement by Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton

on 60th Anniversary of Founding of People’s Republic of China

Washington, D.C，October 1, 2009

I would like to extend warm wishes and congratulations to the People’s Republic of China on the 60th anniversary of its founding on October 1. In the last 30 years,

China has undergone an extraordinary economic transformation, lifting millions of people out of poverty. This is truly an historic accomplishment.

The United States is pleased that this year also marks the 30th anniversary of U.S.-PRC diplomatic relations. We are committed to building a positive, cooperative and comprehensive relationship that reflects the deepening ties between our two countries and enhances the security and prosperity of all our people.

Danish Ambassador in Beijing, Jeppe Tranholm-Mikkelsen, Congratulates the People's Republic of China on Its 60th Anniversary

It is a great pleasure for me to congratulate the Peoples Republic of China on its 60 years anniversary.

Denmark was the first Western country of the allied nations to recognize the Peoples Republic of China in 1950. Shortly afterwards Denmark established its Embassy here in Beijing and China established its embassy in Copenhagen. Since then, the Danish Government has continuously maintained a firm and unequivocal one-China Policy in support of the PRC.

Since 1949, China has come a long way. Hundreds of millions have been lifted out of poverty. Chinese citizens have a much freer choice in terms of how they want to lead their lives. China's economy is strong and growing and China is playing a greater role in world affairs. These positive developments started with the creation of the PRC, greatly accelerated by the policy of reform and opening-up adopted in 1978.

In the last few years, the Chinese government has focused more on creating a harmonious society based on the scientific concept of development. China now puts more emphasis on balanced economic growth and on reducing the cost to the environment. Also in this respect, China is now developing very rapidly. China is now emerging as a world leader in green technology and China is expected to play an important role at the UN meeting on climate change in Copenhagen this December, as you know, this is the meeting that should adopt a new global agreement in combating climate change for the years to come.

Denmark welcomes and applauds the success of China. We believe that what is good for China is also good for the world. We believe that it is right for China to play a greater role internationally. And we believe that China has a lot to contribute.

In conclusion, let me extend all my best wishes for the People’s Republic of China and for its ambitious and hard working people, including the netizens of the People's Daily. I wish you happiness, prosperity and success. And I hope and expect that you will achieve just as much in the next 60 years as you have achieved until now. Congratulations!
