《外刊经贸知识选读》练习资料-短文翻译翻译题1. The good news for Asian exporters to Europe is that after three years of recession, the 12 European Union economies are creaking back to life. That means consumers are likely to have more money to spend on Asian goods. The bad news is that EU trade officials, under pressure from increasingly strident industry groups, are tightening the screws on Asian imports. These include cars, TV sets, textiles and footwear. The trade friction contrasts with recent efforts by the EU to improve its diplomatic ties with Asia.2.While most people think of Hong Kong as a small market, it is, in fact, the largest export market for U. S. shell eggs. In 1985, the United States exported over 7 million dozen shell eggs valued at＄ 4 million for food use in Hong Kong. That market alone accounted for half of the volume and 40 per cent of the value of total U. S. exports of shell eggs for food use. Hong Kong consumers enjoy a variety of shell eggs, including fresh hen and duck eggs, dyed eggs for special occasions, eggs cooked in salt or tea leaves, pigeon eggs and preserved duck eggs. Fresh hen eggs, however, are the most popular item.3.Major projects outside the oil and gas sector in Abu Dhabi(阿布扎比) appear to be on hold. This applies to the Lulu island development and the third crossing project, for which tenders have been invited three times, although the prospects for medium-size infrastructure projects in Abu Dhabi are reasonable. “Look where the money is coming from, what really matters is oil and gas, " a consultant says. The consensus is that these other projects will materialize; they are just not top priority at the moment.4．Yet in its current dour mood, Europe risks almost overlooking the revolutionary step forward it has taken in creating the world’s largest and wealthiest barrier-free market—and on a continent where, for centuries, economic battles have led to some of hist ory’s bloodiest wars. Moreover, a failure to reinforce the single market by pushing forward with European integration could lead to an unraveling of what the internal market program has achieved, some observers say.然而在目前抑郁的情绪中，欧洲几乎冒险忽视了那种前进的革命性步伐，它曾以那种步伐创立了世界上最大的、最富有的自由市场——在一个大洲，那里几个世纪以来经济上的争斗已经导致了一些历史上最血腥的战争。

Markets Have Lost Their Allure 市场已失去吸引力For Most people involved in the production and trading of “soft” or agricultural commodities, this is proving to be a grim decade.对于大多数生产并买卖非耐用商品或农业品的人来说，这十年无疑是阴暗的十年。
Prices are in many cases at, or near, historic lows in real terms as markets struggle to cope with floods of surplus produce. And—with most soothsayers forecasting flat, or still lower, prices—the markets themselves have lost much of their allure.许多情况下，产品的价格都在实际意义上处于或接近历史最低价，这是因为市场要应付泛滥成灾的过剩的农产品。
同时，大多数预言家预测价格将会持平，或者更低。
市场自身已经失去了很多的魅力。
Speculators who profited handsomely from the price volatility of the 1970s have deserted soft commodities for the newer excitement of financial futures or the security and big yields afforded by the equity and money markets.从20世纪70年代的价格不稳中大笔获益的投机者们已经放弃了非耐用商品而寻求金融期货或有价证券带来的新的刺激以及股票和货币市场提供的巨额利润。

外刊经贸知识选读第二课翻译旺旺英语Lesson 2The curtain goes upPeking permits foreign investment all along itscoastline--- creating differing rules and added confusionBy Mary Lee in BeijingA clearly confident China has rolled up a large section of its bamboo curtain, declared itself “open to the outside world” and hung signs on nearly all its cities inviting foreign investors to come and do serious business.The four special economic zones (SEZs) in Guangdong and Fujian provinces, 14 coastal cities (all former treaty ports) and Hainan island (10 “open” areas in all) have specifically designed tax and other incentives for the foreign investor. But every provincial capital is doing its best to attract foreign investment.The foundation for all this was assembled in piecemeal form, beginning in mid—1979 with the State Council’s decision to set up four SEZs in the south. Then a joint-venture law was published for the first time (albeit one full of holes), quickly followed by procedures for “compensation trade” --- both or which were designed to attract foreign investment to these four zones. The following year, a tax law for joint ventures was promulgated.But even as businessmen battled with bureaucracy in an effort to fulfil their hopes of doing business with a potential market of 1 billon people, Chinese leaders were growing impatient with the rate of progress in the showpiece SEZ—Shenzhen.In April 1984, after the country’s top leaders had visited the Shenzhen, Zhuhai and Xiamen SEZs, the state Council declared 14 cities along the entire coast plus Hainan island open to foreign investment, thus introducing areal element of competition into the country’s economic-development programme. Then came the much-publicised “decision on reform of the economic structure” and suddenly, the race to get foreign technology and funds was on.For foreign investors, the prospect of having access to a market of 1 billion consumers no longer seems like a pipedream. The Chinese—in particular the rural population---are getting richer and now want visible improvements to their standard of living: they aspire to own colour TV sets, refrigerators, trucks, washing machines and better radios, bicycles and clothing. Even local factories are taking note of the vast potential sales in their own domestic market.Recently, State Councillor Gu Mu, head of the China Coastal Cities Economic and Technical Development Corp. (CCETDC) ---the policymaking and coordination body for the 19 “open areas” ---reportedly pronounced the entire coast open to foreign investment. Takenliterally, this does not make much sense as the parts of the coast which have not been “opened” are simply not ready for the demands of foreign businessman. In fact, shantou among the SEZs, and some of the 14 coastal cities plus Hainan are not even equipped with administrative support or infrastructure to cope with the responsibilities which the central government has placed on them.A well-placed source within the CCETDC said Gu in fact was referring to the 19 areas which had been officially opened. The strategy, he said, was a long-term one, to transfer the SEZs experience with new industry to the 14 cities and Hainan, at the same time as this experience was being shared with the country’s inner regions.The central government’s determination to raise the level of industrial technology is clearly behind the decision to open the 14 coastal cities. In addition, China is now ready to spend US $ 14.2 billion fo its foreign-exchangereserves (which stood at US $ 16.5 billion in June 1984) to buy foreign technology. The Bank of China has also said that new and more flexible load policies will enable “thousands” of domestic enterprises to borrow foreign exchange to import equipment and repay in Renminbi.The need to upgrade industrial equipment is great: official figures show that in 1980, 20% of China’s capital stock was already 10-20 years behind that of the West. Another 20% --while technologically backward – worked well, but the remaining 60% should have been scrapped or renovated. The combined industrial output of the 15 coastal areas is reportedly equal to a quarter of the nation’s total.But while the reasons for throwing 19 areas and cities open to foreign investment and technology transfer are clear, how the preferential systems will operate in not. This is due largely to the intensity of competition among the 19, coupled with the inexperience of most local authorities both in making decisionsand in dealing with the outside world. However, there are important difference between the SEZs and the coastal cities and even among the coastal cities themselves.In the SEZs, which are being built-almost from scratch, foreigners can invest in anything which the state deems useful for the country, be it, for example, production of goods for export or construction of private-housing estates. These can be joint ventures, cooperative enterprises or wholly foreign-owned operations. Because every factory or business established in the SEZs is new, imports of capital and consumer goods (except cigarettes and liquor) are exempted from customs duties, and a uniform 15% income-tax rate is applied.In the coastal cities, only factories where plant is being upgraded by foreign investment, enjoy the 15% tax rate (or less for target projects such as transport, energy and telecommunications). Only “key equipment and other materials necessary for technicaltransformation which cannot be readily obtainable in China” will enjoy exemptions from customs duties prior to 1990, according to Gu.However, each coastal city also has been granted the right to establish an Economic and Technical Development Zone (ETDZ) outside the city centre, which will offer a uniform tax rate of 15% for all projects and waive the usual 10% profit-remittance tax.Only the ETDZ in Shanghai (one of the 14 coastal cities) enjoys the same status as the four SEZs. This means that if an enterprise is within the zone, it will enjoy the preferential tax rate of 15%. A joint venture outside the Zone --- involving the setting up of a new factory, and not the upgrading of an existing one --- is liable to the standard 33% tax rate. Tourist enterprises and any other service industry outside the zone –as with similar projects outside the SEZs – are not entitled to any special status.The major source of confusion forforeign investors, however, is not the tax rate but who has the authority to approve projects. The municipal governments of Tianjin and Shanghai have the power to approve projects each coating no more than US $ 30 million. Dalian and Canton have the power to approve projects of less than US $ 10 million each, and the other 10 cities may approve projects involving less than US $ 5 million.One official who is well aware of the confusion afflicting both local authorities and foreign investors is Jing Shuping, president of China International Economic Consultants Inc. which is the consultancy arm of the China International Trust and Investment Corp. The various cities and zones, he said, must discover their own special characteristics, strengths and weaknesses.“We want to stir up the enthusiasm of the grassroots units --- the enterprises --- to get things done,” he said. “We are only just beginning, so the confusion is natural. But if westart putting too many rules and regulations (in an effort to introduce some order to the situation) they will get discouraged. The time will come when the cities and zones will ask for help in coordinating their efforts.”Another source of confusion for the investor lies in the fact that in Guangdong, for instance, there are three SEZs and two “open” areas, Canton and Hainan island. There have been recent complaints from the Hainan government on interference from Canton (the provincial capital) on the exercise of its authority.So, while a comprehensive framework for the country’s modernisation has been provided by th e central committee’s 21 October 1984 decision to reform the economic structure, it will be some time before the dust settles and local authorities and foreign investors can deal with one another in a systematic way. The mountainous bureaucracy facing foreign businessmen has yet to be reduced effectively,despite promises by government.What foreign businessmen find encouraging is that ideology is no longer in the driver’s seat, having been deftly removed with the slogan “Socialism with Chinese char acteristics” and replaced by entrepreneur-ship. Enterprises wholly owned by foreigners are now allowed. Even the oft-repeated phrase “public ownership of the means of production” has been amended with the passage of a law on inheritance which protects private ownership of capital equipment –another way of saying that individuals can now own the means of production.Stock-taking of the open policy will come later this year when the National People’s Congress discusses the seventh five-year plan, which will run to the end of the decade.------From far Eastern Economic Review . 31Jan. , 1985section / 5sekFEn/ n.部分former / 5fR:mE/ a.以前的；旧时的specially / 5speFEli/ ad.明确地；特别地tax / tAks/ n.税incentive / in5sentiv/ n.刺激；鼓励attract / E5trAkt/ v.吸引assemble / E5sembl/ v.汇集；形成piecemeal / 5pi:smi:l/ ad.一件一件地；逐渐地State Council / / 国务院albeit / R:l5bi:it/ conj.尽管procedure / prE5si:dVE/ n.程序；手续promulgate / prR5mElgeit/ v.颁布；公布potential / pE5tenFEl/ a.潜在的showpiece / / n.优秀样品；展出之事物publicize / 5pQblisaiz/ v.引起公众对...注意；（尤指用广告）宣传fund / fQnd/ n.资金prospect / 5prRspekt, prEs5pekt/ n.前景pipe dream / / n.白日梦；幻想aspire / Es5paiE/ v.渴望vast / va:st/ a.巨大的state councilor / / 国务委员pronounce / prE5nauns/ v.宣告；宣布administrative / Ed5ministrEtiv/ a.管理的；行政的infrastructure / 5infrEstrQktFE/ n.基础设施cope (with) / / v.（成功地）应付；（妥善地）处理strategy / 5strAtidVi/ n.战略long-term / / a.长期的transfer / trAns5fE:/ v.搬；使转移inner regions / / 内地foreign-exchange reserves / / 外汇储备repay / ri:5pei/ v.偿还；付还（钱）upgrade / 5Qp5greid/ v.提高；改善remaining / / a.剩余的；其余的scrap / skrAp/ v.刮（擦）净；除掉technology transfer / / 技术转让intensity / in5tensiti/ n.强烈；激烈(to start) from scratch / / 从零（开始）deem / di:m/ v.认为；相信estate / is5teit/ n.地产；财产wholly foreign-owned / / 外商独资拥有的operation / 5RpE5reiFEn/ n.企业business / 5biznis/ n.工商企业capital goods / / 资本货物consumer goods / / 消费品liquor / 5likE/ n.酒类uniform / 5ju:nifR:m/ a.（税收、法律等）一样的；一致的plant / pla:nt/ n.全套设备readily / 5redili/ ad.无困难地；容易地prior (to) / / ad.在...之前grant / gra:nt/ v.给予；授予waive / weiv/ v.放弃；不坚持要求profit-remittance / / 利润汇款status / 5steitEs/ n.地位preferential tax rate / / 优惠税率be liable to / / 有义务的；应付（税）的entitle (to) / / v.给...权利；给...资格authority / R:5WRriti/ n.权；权利approve / E5pru:v/ v.批准；核准municipal / mju:5nisipEl/ a.市（政）的affict / / v.使苦恼；折磨consultant / kEn5sQltEnt/ n.顾问consultancy / kEn5sQltEnsi/ n.（承接咨询业务的）顾问服务公司strengths and weaknesses / / 优缺点stir (up) / / v.激起；鼓励grassroots / / a.群众的；基层的complaint / kEm5pleint/ n.抱怨；抗议interference / 5intE5fiErEns/ n.干预；扰乱exercise / 5eksEsaiz/ v.（官能、力量、权利等的）行驶；运用；执行comprehensive / 5kRmpri5hensiv/ a.广泛的；综合的framework / 5freimwE:k/ n.准则has yet to / / 有待ideology / aidi5RlEdVi/ n.思想意识in the driver's seat / / 处于统治（或控制）地位deftly / / ad.机敏地remove / ri5mu:v/ v.移开；挪走entrepreneurship / / n.企业家精神oft-repeated / / 反复说的means of production / / 生产资料amend / E5mend/ v.修改；修订inheritance / in5heritEns/ n.继承权protect / prE5tekt/ v.保护stock-taking / / 盘货；评估；估量National People's Congress / / 全国人民代表大会1.…tax and other incentives for the foreign investor … to attract foreign investment.2.… a tax law for joint ventures was promulgated.3.… Chinese leader s were growing impatient with the rate of progress in the showpiec e SEZ-Shengzhen.4.… thus introducing a real element of competition into the country’s economic-development programme.5.Even local factories are taking note of the vast potential sales in their own domestic market.6.The central govemment’s determination to raise the level of industrial technology is clearly behind the decision to open the 14coastal cities.7.… repay in Renminbi.8.The need to upgrade industrial equipment …9.The combined industrial output of the 15 coastal areas …10.the preferential systems11.the intensity of competition12.private-housing estates.13.Wholly foreign-owned operations14.

Asia grew because it was the cheapest source for the low⁃tech consumer goods that the West craves. Hong Kong and Korea didn’t invent new or more efficient manufacturing techniques,they simply bought market share with low wages.But now Asia is beginning to cost too much.If you still thinkAsia is cheap or even a bargain,compare office rents in Shanghai with those in Chicago and Paris. Or try to hold a qualified manager in China against the almost weekly job offers he receives due to the shortage of Chinese professionals.No wonder companies are voting with their feet in response to Asia’s rising cost.Germany’s Siemens is dumping Singapore in favor of lower cost locations in the region.The way things are going,Siemens may have to move again before too long. The competition facing Asia is not going to let up,either Local council representatives from Britain are running all over the world advertising tax cuts,giving away state land and slashing bureaucracy in an effort to attract industry.Technological innovations and cost reduction in communications and transport mean that location isn’t as important as it once was.Only Singapore seems to understand that keeping up isn’t good enough and that being competitive means forging ahead.The Lion City made a concerted effort to open market,cut government regulations and create transparency.But most Asian government just don’t seem to understand the relationship between high costs and low competitiveness.Otherwise why would tariffs on agricultural imports be crippling the Korean and Japanese food processing industries?The oligarchical nature of trucking in Malaysia guarantees that high transport costs will drive business away.n economic growth was primarily based on cheap exports rather than high technology.22.Siemens is satisfied with Singapore’s low cost and will stay there all the time.23.High rents and shortage of professionals became China’s disadvantage in Business.24.The importance of location is weakened by technology and communication innovations.25.Most Asian government learned from Singapore to open markets and cut tariffs.非选择题部分注意事项: 用黑色字迹的签字笔或钢笔将答案写在答题纸上,不能答在试题卷上㊂三㊁将下列中文词组译成英文:本大题共10小题,每小题1分,共10分㊂26.经济特区27.出口配额制28.消费品29.批发商30.贸易差额31.服务部门32.垄断33.最惠国待遇34.硬通货35.经常项目四㊁将下列英语单词或词组译成中文:本大题共10小题,每小题1分,共10分㊂36.market forces37.countertrademercial hub39.intellectual property right40.brain trust41.austerity programmes42.the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade43.discount rate44.countervailing duty45.dumping五㊁简答题:本大题共6小题,每小题3分,共18分㊂Passage1 Once,when Japan faced pressure from abroad,it would either give in reluctantly or keep quiet and hope that the fuss would die down.No longer it seems.America wants Japan to meet import targets for some American goods,but far from capitulating to the thrust of American trade policy, Japan is taking a stand that could lead to a trans-Pacific confrontation.The annual white paper on trade development published by the Ministry of International Trade and Industry will reject the argument that Japan needs special trade sanctions.It is Japan’s persistent surplus,more than anything,that has provoked anger in Washington.This year the surplus has been growing fast.With the economy still barely growing,despite two fiscal packages in the past nine months,Japan’s critics say that the country is once more exporting its way out of recession.46.Which word can give in”be replaced by?47.Explain the fuss would die down”.48.Paraphrase exporting its way out of recession”.Passage2 The price of tin on the European spot market rose to4,400pounds per ton,reflecting widespread production cuts in the world tin industry,at a two-day meeting in Indonesia,theassociation of tin-producing countries,whose members represent70percent of world tin output, decided to strengthen their co-operation in a bid to stabilize tin prices and to call on the United States to limit sales of tin from its strategic stockpile.Platinum progressed at the outset on concern about strike action in South African mines but quickly fell victim to profit-taking as work resume.49.What is strategic stockpile”?50.What does progress”mean in the context?51.What is profit-taking in business?六㊁翻译题:本大题12分㊂52.
