VOA常速英语听力2012年11月合辑(文本):Chinas-New-Leaders-Face-Economic-ChallengesWilliam IdeNov ember 01, 2012China's modern cities are built on a massive scale, with architecture in places such as Beijing that ranges from avant-garde to out of this world. But, just above Beijing's busy street corners are signs of the threats China's economy is facing.Beijing based-economist Patrick Chovanec says "I think that the empty buildings that you see cut to the core of how China has been driving growth over the past few years," says . It's been an investment boom and so China has been driving growth by creating capacity, capacity in housing, in infrastructure, in production. And, in order for that growth to be real, there has to be an end user and that's the challenge, where does the end user come from.When the global financ ial crisis hit in 2008, China insulated itself from the slowdown by launching a nearly $590 billion stimulus. But now, as the country's annual growth is expected to slow to below eight percent this year, economists caution that same strategy will not work."That investment boom that has kept the Chinese economy growing in the face of the global economic slowdown, that investment boom is breaking down, it is buckling under its own weight," says Chovanec. "The bad debt and to some extent, the i nflation that has been created by pumping the economy full of money has created an unsustainable situation.Economists say about 80 percent of China's massive 2008 stimulus package went to state-owned enterprises, which still dominate the economy. Weakening their influence is a key challenge for China's new leaders, says economics professor Hu Xingdou. Hu says that state enterprises account for about a third of t he Chinese economy."But, even with that proportion, they lead the Chin ese economy," said Hu. "Even though they constitute only 30-40 percent of the Chinese economy, they control China's economy and all of those sectors where money is made.Breaking the monopoly that state-run enterprises have over the economy will not be easy, especially because of the political power and influence they wie ld."Because there are two main problems with the Chinese economy," Hu added. "One isthat power interferes too much in economic issues, the second issue is monopolies, and the i mpact they have on the structure of the economy.It remains unc lear what plans China's new leaders have for the state-owned enterprises, but the stakes are high. Maintaining a stable economy is a key reason why Chinese remain willing to accept the party's continued monopoly on political power.。

VOA常速英语听力2012年11月合辑(文本):US-Adds-171K-Jobs-Unemployment-Rate-Rises-to-79Mil ArcegaNovember 02, 2012U.S. companies beat analysts' expectations last month, hiring 171 thousand workers in October. The Labor Department also revised job number s higher for August and September - adding 84,000 more workers to company payrolls. Even as employers ramped up hiring, however, the nation's unemployment rate was rising - up one tenth of one percent.The last major economic report before Americans head to the polls shows hiring accelerated in October. That's welcome news for more than 12 million unemployed Americans, and for a president fighting to keep his job. President Barack Obama told supporters in Ohio that since July the private sector has added more than 170,000 jobs each month."And today our businesses have created nearly 5 1/2 million new jobs. And this morning we learned that companies hire d more workers in October than at any time in the last eight months," said Obama.But the improving outl ook is just on e aspect of the government report. Despite upward revisions to job numbers in August and September, the nation's unemployment rate inched higher to 7.9 percent as more people started looking for work.Republican challenger Mitt Romney said the report was further proof of an economy at a virtual standstill. He accused the president of falling short on his promises."He said he was going to lower the unemployment rate, down to 5.2 percent right now. Today we learned that it's actually 7.9 percent. And that's 9 million jobs short of what he promised," said Romney.Since World War II, no U.S. president has ever won re-election with unemployment above 7.4 percent. The White House says the new report, though, is further evidence that the economy i s healing from the worst downturn in decad es. Still, the latest job numbers are unlikely to sway v oters.ABC News political analyst Matthew Dowd said most Americans already have made up their minds."The perceptions of the economy are already baked in [already set]. At this point in the game, the last six months of what's happened - in the last six months in the economy - are baked into perceptions," said Dowd.Despite t he better-than-expected job numbers, lingering signs of economic weakness remain. Average hourly pay declined in October, and paychecks have not kept pace with inflation.After an initial bounce on Wall Street, stock futures fell more than one percent, as investors worried about a deepening recession in Europe a nd a looming budget crisis in the U.S.。

VOA常速英语听力2012年11月合辑(文本):After-Sandy-Wall-Street-Closed-for-2nd-DayJeff SwicordOctober 30, 2012A day after Hurricane Sandy caused severe flooding and power outages to more than7 million customers in the Northeastern United States, officials in the hard-hit New York metropolitan area are assessing the damage. Jeff Swicord reports on the impact of closing Wal l Street for two days.Major U.S. stock and bond markets were c losed again on Tuesday, a day after Hurricane Sandy swept through New York Cit y.The area around Wall Street was part of a mandatory evacuation zone, and with the storm s urge, water rose above seawalls - flooding streets in lower Manhattan.This is the first time since 1888 that bad weather forced t he New York Stock Exchange to clos e for two consecutive days.The timing of the storm could be difficult for Wall Street. At the end of each month, fund managers price their portfolios for clients.Market analyst Michael Farr, au thor of The Arrogance Cycle, says losing two days of trading can make it difficult to assess the real value of stocks an d mutual funds.“They have to be priced with real market-time prices. If you don’t have a real market prin t you have to show the last close. So you really don’t get an accurate sense," said Far r.Experts say closing the stock market can have an im pact on world markets.“And it kind of brings a lot of commerce to a halt, not completely of course," said Farr.Damages caused by Hurricane Sandy are estimated at $20 billion, plus $30 billion more in lost business, according to IHS Global Insight, a financial forecaster. Some economists say the storm could cut 0.6 percent from U.S. economic growth in the fourth quarter of the year.。

An Israeli air strike in the Gaza strip has killed Ahmed Jabari, the military leader of the Palestinian militant group Hamas. Mr Jabari was the most senior Hamas official to be targeted since Israel's military offensive on Gaza four years ago. Another Hamas official died alongside him when their car was blown up. Beyond, wing of Hamas said the air strike had opened the gates of hell. A Hamas spokesman Taher al-Nunu told the BBC Arabic the Palestinians would defend themselves. We'll not surrender, and we will not wave the white flag. Israelis will not see a white flag raised on any inch of t he Palestinian territories. We'll keep confronting them and trying to stop such aggression. We see it is the right of the Palestinian people to defend its rights through the means it sees proper against such a blatant Israeli offensive.以色列对加沙地带发动空袭,杀死巴勒斯坦武装组织哈马斯军事领导人艾哈迈德·贾巴里。

每日英语新闻——11月——英语新闻——11.1The booming popularity of acorn-based products is putting the squirrel population in South Korea at risk as human foragers steal the rodent's staple diet.以橡果为原料的产品越来越受欢迎,这使得韩国的松鼠陷入危机,因为人类觅食者要把它们的食物都偷走。
forager['fɔrɪdʒɚ]:n.搜寻(食物)的人;四处寻找的人In the Republic of Korea, where human foraging is said to be at anall-time high, there are fewer acorns on the ground and as a result fewer squirrels.在韩国,人们对橡果的搜寻热情空前高涨,地上的橡果越来越少,因此松鼠也越来越少。
Coming in to save the day for the hungry squirrels are 'Acorn Rangers'. 来拯救饥饿松鼠的是“橡果保护队”。
The team of dedicated animal saviours are policing university campuses and public parks across the Asian nation and scaring off acorn-foraging humans.这支动物救助队伍正在韩国的大学校园和公园里执行警戒任务,驱赶捡拾橡果的人们。
The volunteers have no legal authority to punish those they find, but hope to at least deter human foragers from returning.志愿者们没有法律权力来惩罚他们发现的橡果捡拾人群,但他们希望至少能阻止一些人再回来。
They spend an hour each week, warning humans away and hiding acorns under tree leaves in an effort to help out the hungry rodents.他们每周花一个小时,驱赶人们,并把橡果藏在树叶下,努力帮助饥饿的松鼠。
In South Korea food which is made from acorns, including noodles, jelly and powder, has grown in popularity after it was declared a healthy superfood that had the potential to fight obesity and diabetes.有人宣称橡果是对抗肥胖和糖尿病的超级食物之后,橡果制成的面条、果冻和橡果粉等食品在韩国越来越受欢迎。
As a result foraging for these ingredients has becoming increasingly common at green campuses, popular hiking trails and anywhere where the oak tree is a common feature of the landscape.因此,在绿色校园、热门徒步旅行路线和任何遍布橡树之地,越来越多的人开始捡拾橡果。
It is not however, legal.然而,这是不合法的。
But this does not appear to be a deterrent for the acorn-hungry humans.但这似乎并没有吓退渴望得到橡果的人们。
deterrent [dɪˈterənt]:n.威慑;妨碍物;挽留的事物——英语新闻——11.2One would think this would be obvious, that sidewalks are for people, not cars.你可能会觉得人行道上不准停车是理所当然的,人行道是给行人走的,而不是停车用的。
In Japan, you are not allowed to buy a car unless you can prove that you have a place to park it off-street. In New York City, 140,000 cars have placards and park wherever they want. When I was in Scotland last year, I took particular note of how many people parked their cars on sidewalks, or this even more egregious half-in-sidewalk, half-in-bike lane. It was everywhere. As Living Streets Scotland notes, this is a serious problem: "Pavement parking is a pain for everyone, but it’s particularly an issue for those with mobility problems, parents with pushchairs and older people, who may fear leaving their homes as they feel unsafe."在日本,除非你能证明自己在街道以外有停车的地方,否则不许你买车。
在纽约市,14万辆有牌照的汽车随地停车。
去年在苏格兰时,我特别注意了有多少人把汽车停在人行道上,或者更可恶的是,一半在人行道上,一半在自行车道上。
这种情况到处都是。
苏格兰生活街道组织指出,这是一个严重的问题:“把车停在人行道上给大家都造成了困扰,尤其是那些行动不便者、推婴儿车的父母和老年人,这些人可能会因为担心不安全而不敢出门。
”egregious[ɪˈɡriːdʒiəs]: adj. 惊人的;过分的;恶名昭彰的But at least they are trying to do something about it. The Scottish Parliament just passed a bill banning parking on the sidewalk, or as they call it, the footway.但是至少苏格兰试图采取行动来改变这一现状。
苏格兰议会刚刚通过了一项法案,禁止在人行道上停车(苏格兰人把人行道称为footway)。
There is an exemption that will be a problem; delivery vehicles are allowed to stop for up to 20 minutes, which is a very long time.不过这项禁令有一个例外:允许送货车在人行道上停留20分钟,这是相当长的一段时间,而这也会成为一个问题。
——英语新闻——11.3How much money does a student need per month?Even for a college student studying in a first-tier city in China,2,000 yuan is enough to cover allhis or her monthly expenses. In fact, for a college student in Chengdu a monthly allowance of2,000 yuan is more than enough. According to a s urvey conducted by a book keepingplatform, the average monthly expense for an undergraduate in cities ot her than Beijing, Shanghai and Hangzhou was less than 2,000 yuan in 2 019; for Chengdu, it was 1,900 yuan.即便是在中国一线城市学习的大学生,每月2000元也足够他/她的日常开支了。
事实上,对于在成都上学的大学生而言,每月2000元绰绰有余。
根据记账平台开展的一项调查显示,2019年,除北京、上海和杭州之外,在其它城市上学的大学生的平均月支出其实不到2000元,成都是1900元。
By the time a person enters a college, she or he should have developed a healthy consumptionhabit. And a youth should adjust her/his consumption according to her/ his family income.初入校园,大学生应养成一种健康的消费习惯。
年轻人应该根据家庭的收入情况调整自己的消费。
Yet most youths get to stay alone and enjoy autonomy only when they enroll in a college. Sothat is when they should learn how to plan their expenses and manage with the money they get from their parents.但大多数年轻人只有在上大学的时候,才开始享受独立生活。
这个时候的他们刚开始学着规划开支、管理父母给他们的零用。
Besides, some college students could take up part-time jobs to meet th eir monetary needs ifthey feel their parents don't or can't send them enough money. In this way they can also learnto meet the requirements of life in the future and develop healthy cons umption habits.此外,如果大学生觉得父母给的钱不够,他们可以在课余时间兼职赚取零花费用。
