Passage 1贵方产品改进后的式样给我留下了深刻的印象。

产品的外观有新意，尽管工艺尚不如人意。

不过我还是打算询价。

这是一份我所感兴趣的产品购物单，请您给我一个有效期为15天、目的港为温哥华的到岸价，报价含3.5%的佣金。

I was deep impressed by the improved design of your products. They have novel appearance though the workmanship is not so desirable. But I'd like to make an inquiry. This is a list of item which I am interested in. And I'd like to hear your quotations on the C.I.F bases valid for 15 days to Venkowa with 3.5 percent agency commission.Passage 2下面这个数字可能让你们一些人吃惊，中国目前仍有1.35亿人每天生活费不足1美元。

我们熟视无睹的最基本生活需求，比如说水，在中国一些地区都是人们不可及的。

例如，在中国西北的甘肃省，有些地方非常缺水，一个村子的农民一辈子只洗三次澡，出生的时候、结婚的时候，还有死的时候。

当我们讨论气候变化的时候，我们常常只是谈论科学事实和数据，但我们不应忘记还有人的因素。

Numbers1. U.S consumer’s confidence in the nation’s economy dropped sharply in July. The Consumer Confidence Index now stands at 76.6, down nearly seven points form last month’s 83.5, to the index’s previous lowest point since March.2.

The current international financial crisis, rarely seen in history, has exerted extensive and far-reaching impact worldwide. As neighbors as well as two major countries in the world and permanent members of the UN Security Council, China and Russia should and can contribute more to the establishment of a new international order that is fair, just and equitable and to world peace and development.We are now standing at a new historical starting point. Let's build on our past achievements and forge ahead hand in hand for an even brighter future.Passage 4当今世界正经历大变革、大调整、大发展，这场罕见的国际金融危机对全球的影响是广泛而深远的。

中俄作为邻国、大国和联合国安理会常任理事国，应该也可以为推动建立公平、公正、合理的国际新秩序、促进世界和平与发展作出更大贡献。

让我们站在新的历史起点上，继往开来，携手奋进，共同开创更加美好的明天！Passage 5We want to sell 800,000 cars a year for the next 5 years. So far this year, we’ve already sold 560,000, and congratulations to those of you that have contributed to this success.This represents nearly 20% increase over the previous year at a time when the market has declined by nearly 10%. Much of the increased sales have come from the commitment and dedication of our dealers and our staff.Passage 6Silver Heaven has just thrown us in a dilemma in the works!Apparently their company has a problem with our colours.They think the colours are unlucky. They phoned me about the colours of our packaging.I assured them that we would never change the colours because they are recognised nationally.Well we need to shift into damage control pretty quickly. They’re leavi ng on Sunday.银色天堂公司刚刚给我们出了一个难题。

现在他们公司对我们公司使用的颜色不满意，认为它们不吉利。

他们曾经打电话给我，谈到我们公司包装用的颜色。

我明确告诉他们我们绝不会个更改那些颜色，因为那是国内众所周知代表我们公司的颜色。

我们需要即刻处理这个问题了，他们公司的人定于星期天离开。

Passage 7Food is essential to the survival of people and grain is the principal food. Freedom from hunger is the most fundamental human right. Food security is the basis for economic development and social stability. It is also an important prerequisite for national independence and world peace. At present, the international community is under the dual pressure of an international financial crisis and a global food crisis. Some developing countries have seen their development process severely hindered and social stability threatened. The international community should view and address food security as a matter vital to human survival and development, and safeguard food security in the world through strengthened cooperation.Passage 8“民以食为天”，“食以粮为本”。

免于饥饿是人类最基本的人权，粮食安全是经济发展和社会稳定的基础，是国家自立与世界和平的重要前提。

当前，国际社会正面临国际金融危机和粮食危机的双重压力，一些发展中国家的发展进程严重受损，社会稳定也受到威胁。

国际社会应从人类生存和发展的高度看待和处理粮食问题，加强合作，携手努力，共同维护全球粮食安全。

Passage 9Fine, we’ll begin by outlining our positions.Then we’ll talk financial considerations, then product specifications and responsibilities and hopefully, the last item will be a timeline for how we shall proceed.So… we’re here to discuss terms and conditions of a business relationship between Our Company and the Silver Heaven Estate.Now, we’ve been in contact for the better part of a fortnight. You’ve had a chance to look over our operations and learn what a partnership us involves.我们现在先来说明一下我方的立场。

然后我们要谈谈财务与责任方面的一些议题以及产品的具体规格。

希望我们最后的议题是谈谈展开我们之间合作的时间表。
