Unit 3亚洲开发银行的大湄公河次区域合作规划[1] 大湄公河次区域是亚洲开发银行(亚行)的创意,它最初由五个国家和一个省份组成-他们分别是柬埔寨王国,缅甸联邦,泰王国,越南社会主义共和国,老挝人民民主共和国和中华人民共和国的云南省。

[2] 大湄公河次区域是一个拥有巨大经济潜力和丰富自然资源的区域。

七千多万的人民生活在湄公河盆地,整个次区域地区有将近两亿六千万人口。

同样,大湄公河次区域经历了世界上最快的经济增长速度。

然而,贫穷、环境的恶化和人力资源的缺乏以及不同的社会发展和治理结构阻碍了可持续和公平发展。

自六个成员国于1992年开始合作以来,大湄公河次区域经历了空前的整合进程。

通过国际组织、非政府组织和私人投资的多边合作和资金支持,大湄公河次区域经历了经济的迅速繁荣。

然而,至今大湄公河次区域的整合主要是通过国际组织,尤其是亚洲开发银行和外国政府的资金从外部驱动的。

为了在六个成员国之间达到真正意义上的整合和合作,在最初建立的15年后创立新的大湄公河次区域精神是很有必要的。

增强双边和多边合作、大湄公河次区域公民对该区域的认同感将为这个历史上麻烦不断的区域提供长期的和平以及为该地区的可持续发展铺平道路。

大湄公河次区域资源[3] 大湄公河次区域自然资源极为丰富,他们都是上天的馈赠。

陆地上出产木材、矿产品、煤和石油,众多河流的水资源支撑着农业和渔业并为水利发电提供能源。

该区域煤的储量也极为丰富,还有大量的石油和天然气储量。

这些资源大多分布在缅甸,泰国和越南。

这些丰富的能源相对来说还未被开发利用。

该区域的大多数人民仍然过着自给自足或近乎自给自足的农耕生活方式。

[4] 大约有三亿人居住在大湄公河次区域,其间蜿蜒穿行4200公里的巨大的湄公河是他们共同的联系纽带。

其中大多数人居住在农村,仍然过着自给自足或半自给自足的生活方式。

例如,超过75%的老挝人口是农村人口。

即便是在湄公河流域所有国家中都市化程度最高的泰国仍然保留有大型农业社区,尤其是在它的北部和东北部。

研究生英语课文翻译Unit 5 Take a Lesson from the Economists

Take a Lesson from the EconomistsEconomics is the dismal science:so say the large number of people who heap scorn on the intellectual merits of the discipline,Much of the criticism comes from “pure”or “proper”scientists-physicists,chemists and biologists.Now,economics certainly has its failings.But the general way in which economists approach and describe the world,and how they convey their message about it to others,carries lessons which pure scientists should learn from.经济学是一门忧郁的科学,很多人都嘲笑这个学科获得的智力成果。

这其中的很多批评都来自于所谓的纯科学学科或者合理的科学学科-物理,化学和生物。

当下,经济学当然是有它的不足。

但是经济学家发现和描述世界的方式,以及他们如何向别人传达与之有关的信息,其实是有很多地方值得这些纯科学家学习的。

Economics has inexactitudes and vagueness built into it.The general lack of reliable data about past events makes virtually impossible the accurate measurement of even the most basic economic variables,such as the total volume of output in a country,or the path of consumer spending,or inflation.经济学包含很多不精确性和含糊性。

Unit One Life of AspirationPart OneWarm-up ListeningChoose OptimismIf you expect something to turn out badly, it probably will. Pessimism is seldom disappointed. But the same principle also works in reverse. If you expect good things to happen, they usually do! There seems to be a natural cause-and-effect relationship between optimism and success. Optimism and pessimism are both powerful forces, and each of us must choose which we want to shape our outlook and our expectations. There is enough good and bad in everyone‟s life—ample sorrow and happiness, sufficient joy and pain—to find a rational basis for either optimism or pessimism. We can choose to laugh or cry, bless or curse, and it‟s our decision.I choose to highlight the positive and slip right over the negative. I am an optimist by choice as much as by nature. Sure, I know that sorrow exists. I am in my 70s now, and I‟ve lived through more than one crisis. But when all is said and done, I find that the good in life far outweighs the bad.An optimi stic attitude is not a luxury; it‟s a necessity. The way you look at life will determine how you feel, how you perform, and how well you will get along with other people. Conversely, negative thoughts, attitudes, and expectations feed on themselves; they become a self-fulfilling prophecy. Pessimism creates a dismal place where no one wants to live.Optimism doesn‟t need to be naive. We can be an optimist and still recognize that problems exist and that some of them are not dealt with easily. But what a difference optimism makes is the attitude of the problem solver! When you‟re an optimist, you‟re more concerned with problem-solving than with useless carping about issues. It‟s your choice.Part TwoFocus-ListeningA Great Communicator in All CircumstancesMany American presidents have made an impact on our country as great communicators. John F. Kennedy, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln come to mind as outstanding examples. But only one president in our lifetime was called the Great Communicator, and that was Ronald Reagan.Flashes of Reagan‟s talent for communication revealed themselves early in his career. He started out in radio. In his early twenties, Reagan quickly became one of the best-known announcers in the Midwest. Throughout his career, Reagan displayed an uncommon ability to connect and communicate with people. Nowhere was that more evident than during his time leading up to and in the White House. While announcing his run for the presidency in 1980, he cast the vision for his campaign clearly and simply, saying, “At the heart of our message should be five simple familiar words. No big economic theories. No sermons on political philosophy. Just five short words: family, work, neighborhood, freedom, peace.”During his campaign, Reagan successfully debated incumbent Jimmy Carter. The former California governor came across as a relaxed, likable, competent middle American. He won easily. Afterward when asked if he had been nervous debating the president, Reagan answered, “No, not at all. I‟ve been on the same stage with John Wayne.”Whether he was speaking to a group, looking into a camera, or connecting with someone one-on-one, Reagan was able to communicate with maximum effectiveness. Even when he was being wheeled into the operating room, his goal was to put others at ease. His comment to the surgeons was, “Please assure me that you are all Republicans.”Reagan was a good executive because he possessed a clear vision, made decisions easily, and delegated very effectively. But he was a great leader because of his uncanny ability to communicate. When it came to leading the country, people knew who he was, where he stood, and what he wanted, and they couldn‟t wait to get on board with him. Communication made him the kind of leader that people wanted to follow. (Words: 337)Part ThreeHome ListeningDream vs. GoalWe all want to believe that we are capable of great feats, of reaching our fullest potential. We need dreams. They give us a vision of a better future. They nourish our spirit; they represent possibility even when we are dragged down by reality. They keep us going. Most successful people are dreamers, ordinary people who are not afraid to think big and dare to be great. Dreamers are not content with being merely mediocre, because no one ever dreams of going halfway.In order to make real steps toward fulfilling our ultimate, big, splashy dreams, we have to start with concrete objectives. These are our goals.Dreams are where we want to end up. Goals are how we get there. Dreams are our visions of where we are after our struggle, the prize at the end of the journey. Goals are the individual steps we take to ultimately deserve the prize.Our dreams are our master plan. Goals are our day-by-day blueprints that provide achievable targets for incremental improvement, but dreams and goals are interrelated. Goals provide our daily routine. They show us where to start and they establish our priorities. They make us organized and create the discipline in our lives. Getting yourself to establish your goals is paramount, one of the key building blocks in achieving success.Let‟s say you‟re trying to climb the corporate ladder in a large company, and you are not optimistic about your chances because there seems to be too many people competing for too few jobs at the top. Your dreams are that promotion. What you have to do is to break down the dream into components you can work on individually and then make a list. After studying the “dream” position, you determine that what they‟re looking for is a hardworking, driven person who can manage a team well and improve productivity. Perfecting each of these characteristics then becomes goals you can shoot for.The first thing you do is show your boss that you are eager to work hard, begin to seek out more long-term projects to show you can maintain a certain energy level over a period of time. Then you have to show our boss that you‟re a team player, that you take the time to pitch in for th e group and that you‟re the kind of person who makes the people around you perform better.The point is that you must establish specific goals and clearly define them. Goals are not merely fuzzy wishes, or hastily made New Year‟s resolutions. They are t angible action items to be written down and followed. ( Words: 434)Unit Two EducationPart OneWarm-up ListeningComing to America as a FulbrighterThe Fulbright program gives an American a chance to study, teach or do research in other countries. And it gives people in other countries a chance to do the same in America. Fulbright grants are given to graduate students, scholars and professionals. There is also a Fulbright exchange program just for teachers and administrators.Each year, about 6000 people receive Fulbright grants. The United States pays most of the costs. Foreign governments and schools help by sharing costs and providing other support.The Fulbright program operates in about 150 countries. Around 270,000 Fulbrighters have taken part over the years.Legislation by Senator William Fulbright established the program in 1946. He saw educational exchange as a way to help people understand other ideas and ways of life. Senator Fulbright also believed the program could educate future world leader.In 1968, the Foreign Language Teaching Assistant Program began. This Fulbright program brings foreign teachers to the United States to work with high school or college students. Two other Fulbright programs that offer ways to come to the United States are the foreign student and visiting scholar programs. The Foreign Student Program brings graduate students to study and do research at a college or university. The Visiting Scholar Program brings foreign experts to speak and do research for up to a year.The list of countries in the Fulbright program changes each year. And the requirements may differ from country to country. (Words: 238)Part TwoFocus ListeningDeveloping CreativityOne of the most exciting findings about creativity is that it may be picked up at almost any stage of the life cycle and developed. Many programs that work with elderly or retired people have known this for a long time. Researchers are continually trying to understand what creativity is and how it can be nurtured throughout childhood and adulthood. It is thought that developmental characteristics of creative aspects vary to the extreme; some things may show up early, other aspects later on in life. Creative behaviors such as curiosity may actually be evident early during infancy and increase during the “magic years” of early childhood. Unfortunately, during middle and late childhood there may be a decrease in creativity as children become more conforming and inhibited as well as liable to fall into sex-role stereotypes. With care, creativity can be sustained throughout childhood and adulthood. Following are highlights of several characteristics of creative people and suggested ways to develop creativity.Characteristics that signal creativity include intense absorption, curiosity, ability to put together seemingly unrelated things or ideas, sense of humor, unusual vocabulary, eagerness to share new discoveries, spontaneity, and willingness to consider new ideas.Creative people are often either interested in ongoing experiments and need time to pursue ideas in depth, or they may jump from idea to idea very quickly. They may show fluency and flexibilityin their thinking. They may ask surprising questions. They may be more independent than others in their approach to doing things. They get excited about new solutions and ideas. Creative people need time to entertain ideas, prepare materials, and let their ideas simmer for a while. They need privacy and tolerance for ambiguity. They need to be allowed to try things out in different ways until they are satisfied with their own work. They also need to be able to select and discard efforts of their choosing—pressure to produce may stifle their creative efforts. Creativity thrives in an environment that allows questions, exploring, observing, skill-building, communicating, and self-expression. To develop creativity, the home or classroom environment should contain a variety of materials and encourage lots of different experiences.Developing a childhood interest—being “in love” with something and sticking with it for some time—is related significantly to adult creative achievement. Building anticipation before a trip or lesson, digging deeply into material during the lesson, and keeping the ideas alive for some time after the lesson are also ways to keep the creative processes going. Children and adults need to be introduced to examples of creative excellence. Their own work should be recognized and truly appreciated. If possible, creative efforts should be put to work and not simply acknowledged and then shelved.Adults who experience creativity programs tend to experience dramatic improvements in the quality of their lives. Self-expression, the zest of discovery, the pleasure of creating something, and freedom to try new things are all aspects of the creative process. Children can be encouraged to grow creatively, and this does not interfere with other kinds of educational achievement. We can all grow with the further development of creativity. (Words: 521)Part ThreeHome ListeningThe University of the FutureThe American research university is a remarkable institution, long a source of admiration and wonder. The wooded campuses, the diversity and energy of the student populations, and, most of all, the sheer volume of public and private resources available to run them, have made them the envy of the world.Seen from the inside, however, everything is not quite so encouraging. Setting aside the habitual complexity of medical schools, which have separate healthcare and finance issues, the structure of these institutions is straightforward and consistent. The bedrock of each university is a system of discipline-specific departments. The strength of these departments determines the success and prestige of the institution as a whole.This structure raises a few obvious questions. One is the relevance of the department-based structure to the way scientific research is done. Many argue that in a host of areas—ranging from computational biology and materials science to pharmacology and climate science—much of the most important research is now interdisciplinary in nature. And there is a sense that, notwithstanding years of efforts to adapt to this change by encouraging interdisciplinary collaboration, the department-based structure of the university is essentially at odds with such collaboration.A second set of issues surrounds the almost static nature of the departmental system. In a country where most things are highly fluid, the fields covered by departments, as well as the pecking order between them, have remained largely unchanged for many years. As people andmoney have flowed, particularly over the past twenty years, to the south and the southwest, the strongest US universities and departments remain embedded in the northeast and in California. League tables drawn up by the National Academy of Sciences and others show little movement in this pecking order, even over several decades.Another, perhaps more contentious issue concerns the relevance of the modern research university to the community it serves. The established model, whatever else its strengths and weaknesses, reflects the desire of the middle classes for undergraduate training that prepares their offspring for a stable career. But how does it serve a society in which people may have to retrain and recreate their careers throughout their adult lives? (Words: 363)Unit Three Economy and GlobalizationPart OneWarm-up ListeningThe Great DepressionThe Great Depression was the longest and most severe period of economic depression ever experienced by the United States. It began with a collapse of prices on the New York Stock Exchange in October 1929, and did not end until the United States entered World War II in late 1941. At its worst point—in early 1933—the American economy seemed on the verge of total collapse. National income had declined by almost one-half in a little over 3 years; capital investment had dropped to the point where net investment was negative; and one out of three people in the labor force was out of work. The most protracted period of economic stagnation in American history was finally ended by the war mobilization efforts in 1942. Obviously, no single event or factor was responsible for the decline.First, the stock-market crash which began on October 24, 1929, was not confined to a single day; the decline in asset prices was a process of continual erosion for almost 3 years. This enormous fall in the value of assets not only wiped out countless individual fortunes and savings, it also placed serious pressures on the stability of financial institutions, particularly banks. In addition, the interrelationship of income, consumption, and investment, together with the pessimistic expectations following the financial collapse, acted to discourage spending and thus to hinder the recovery of income. Finally, both the spending thesis and the monetarist thesis acknowledge the importance of serious flaws in the institutional framework of the American economy which contributed to the problems of 1929 to 1941. Even more significant was the absence of any institutional arrangements to cushion the effect that loss of income due to unemployment had on aggregate spending.The Great Depression marked, in a sense, the coming of age of the United States as a mature industrial economy. The events of the 1930s demonstrated the need for changes in the economic reform which was to continue for the next 40 years. Finally, the experience of the Great Depression serves as a continual reminder of the potential instability of our market economy, a memory which spurs a continued search for economic stability. (Words: 359)Part TwoFocus ListeningWhat to Expect at DavosFor more than 35 years, the Swiss businessman, economist, and philanthropist Klaus Schwab has been the driving force behind the World Economic Forum in Davos, where thinkers gather to ponder the problems of the planet. And with the world beset by more ills than job, there is no shortage of issues for CEOs, prime ministers, and academics to wrestle at this year‟s “Annual Meeting” from Jan. 24-28. I talked with Schwab about what will be on the table.What are the most important issues facing the world economy?The World Economic Forum did some research, together with Citigroup and Marsh&McLennan, to keep track of major global risks, and we have identified 23 different risks, such as global warming, terrorism, oil price shocks, a hard landing for China, and so on. All of those issues will be on the agenda. Davos has one special function: It looks at all the issues on the global agenda, trying to see priorities and find solutions. There will be 2,400 people—half business, half other stakeholders in the global society, including 25 heads of state. You have practically every major government represented.Last year, India was a big focus, as was innovation. What will the hot topics be this year? Priorities evolve during the meeting itself. But a general issue will be the changing power equation, which means that everywhere in society and business, the power is moving from the center to the periphery. Vertical command-and-control structures are being eroded and replaced by communities and different platforms. We are moving into the Web 2.0 world, and this has tremendous implications on the national level and on business models. Also, three countries could be in the limelight: Russia, because the whole issue of energy security is at the top of the agenda; Vietnam, which is a new preferred place of investment; and Mexico, with the new President coming. And even if we are moving more and more into a multi-country world, the U.S. is still the key actor. We will have a delegation of 12 senators, and issues will be the sustainability of U.S. economic growth and the risk of the falling dollar.Your thoughts on Iraq and the Middle East today?It‟s not just an American challenge. It‟s a challenge for the world, because if Iraq goes into chaos and tribalism, the repercussions for the Middle East, for the energy supply will be tremendous. We believe Davos is a platform for positive interaction between the different factions in Iraq.How does the rest of the world view the U.S. today?In my opinion, anti-Americanism has decreased. One reason is that in the U.S. there is a much more vibrant discussion about the future. Americans are asking themselves a lot of questions.Is Davos a bit more of a celebrity fest than you originally intended?Of course, Davos is a place for business and political celebrities, and we have invited Hollywood celebrities because they have been very associated with some social causes. We didn‟t invite them because they were famous. This has brought us more reports, in the popular media. This year we made the decision that with the exception of one or two people, we were not inviting any Hollywood celebrities. (Words: 538)Part ThreeHome ListeningEconomic Conditions: Trying to Read the FutureEconomics and weather have a lot in common. Knowing what conditions will be like weeks or months in the future is not easy. One thing that helps economists predict the future is the index of leading economic indicators.An index is a way to measure changes in a group of numbers over time. In financial markets, for example, an index of stocks will rise or fall with changes in the wider market. The changes measured by an index can be represented with a single percentage.The index may start at a base period of time with a value of one hundred. Now say that a month later the value is recorded as one hundred one. That means it gained one percent. If the index lost one percent, however, the value would be ninety-nine.The leading economic indicators are really ten indexes. Four deal with manufacturing activity. One deals with unemployment claims. Another measures people‟s expectations of the economy. Still others involve financial information like the money supply and interest rates.The index of leading indicators is just one of the tools used to measure the business cycle. Business cycles are the normal changes that happen in economic growth over time.A measure called the coincident index provides information about current conditions. Employment rates are an important part of it. There is also a lagging index. It helps confirm economic changes that currently appear to be taking place. Interest rates are an important lagging indicator.The Conference Board publishes economic indicators for the United States. The Conference Board is a non-profit organization based in New York. It brings together business leaders to learn new ideas from one another. It has member companies around the world.The Conference Board also does economic research. Its work helps show business and government leaders what conditions might be ahead.But this group did not always produce the index of leading economic indicators. It took over the job in nineteen ninety-five from the Bureau of Economic Analysis, part of the Commerce Department.The Conference Board also publishes economic indicators for Australia, France, Germany and Japan. Others are Britain, Mexico, South Korea and Spain. (Words: 357)Unit Four Business and ManagementPart OneWarm-up ListeningTaylor‟s Scientific ManagementF.W. Taylor was the first man to study human beings at work. He published Taylor‟s Scientific Management in 1911 and it has since then multiplied labour productivity by a factor of one hundred.Taylor‟s god was efficiency and the highest ever productivity. Even as a young man he designed a spoon-shaped tennis racket and went on to win the national championship. He always aimed at the highest level efficiency in whatever he attempted.Taylor w as determined to stop all laziness on the shopfloor, “soldiering” as he called it. When he became the gang boss, the workers were frightened that he would increase the workload. A regular battle ensued between Taylor and his workers. There were planned breakdowns in the factory. Taylor‟s life was in danger. But he was a courageous person. He imposed fines and restored discipline. He emerged victorious.Taylor thought that he was a friend of the workers but workers considered him their arch enemy. They called him Speedy Taylor. They thought that his efficiency drive was pure slavery for them. It would impair their health, undermine their freedom and lead to large-scale unemployment.Taylor equated men with machines. Machines worked best when well-maintained and lubricated. Workers should likewise be provided with good working conditions, they should be well-trained and properly paid. They would, Taylor thought, then automatically work best. His concept of man was defective. Man is creative. He has feelings and emotions: he has intelligence. Taylor lost sight of these essentials. (Words: 245)Part TwoFocus ListeningA VOA Special English Economics ReportI‟m Steve Ember with the VOA Special English Economics Report.Peter Drucker was a voice for change and new ways of thinking about social and business relations. He died in Claremont, California, on November 11 at the age of ninety-five.Peter Drucker was born in Austria in 1909. In the late 1920s, he worked as a reporter in Frankfurt, Germany. He also studied international law.He fled Germany as Adolf Hitler came to power in 1933. Peter Drucker spent four years in aaaaBritain as an adviser to investment banks. He then came to the United States. Mister Drucker used his knowledge of international law to advise American businesses. He developed this advice into books on businesses methods and management.In the middle of the 1940s, Peter Drucker argued that the desire for profit was central to business efforts. He also warned that rising wages were harming American business. Mister Drucker was later invited to study General Motors. He wrote about his experiences in the book “The Concept of the Corporation”. In it, he said that workers at all levels should take part in dec ision-making, not just top managers.Critics of Peter Drucker have said that he often included only information that supported his arguments. But even his critics praised his clear reasoning and simple writing. He was called a management guru.Peter Drucker changed his thinking as times changed. In 1993, he warned that seeking too much profit helped a business‟ competitors. That was almost fifty years after he had argued the importance of profits.Mister Drucker taught at the Claremont Graduate School of Management for more than thirty years. He also advised companies. And he wrote for the Wall Street Journal opinion page for twenty years, until 1995. He commented on many economic and management issues.Peter Drucker may be most famous not for answering questions but for asking them. He once said that business people must ask themselves not “what do we want to sell” but “what do people want to buy”.Mister Drucker used terms like “knowledge workers” and “management goals”. Many of his ideas have grown to be highly valued in business training and politics.This VOA Special English Economics Report was written by Mario Ritter. Our reports are online at . (Words: 381)Part ThreeHome ListeningManaging the Global WorkforceBy Jena McGregor and Steve HammThe war for talent never ends. Middle managers in China? Good luck finding them, let alone keeping them. Assembly line workers in Central Europe? They‟re well-educated and hard-working. Trouble is, every company wants them. For corporations, managing this widely scattered, talented, restive, multicultural workforce has never been harder.These facts make a simple but powerful point: The old way of managing across borders is fading fast. In the first half of the 20th century, the globalization of business was based on the British colonial model. Headquarters, functions, and capital were in one place, with managers dispatched to run regional operations like colonies. In the second half of the 1900s, companies adopted the multinational model, replicating their home country operations in other places where they did business. Country units rarely dealt with other divisions in other markets.Today, global corporations are transforming themselve s into “transnationals,” moving work to the places with the talent to handle the job and the time to do it at the right cost. The threat of a U.S. recession only makes such efforts at lowering expenses and grabbing the best talent even more urgent. William J. Amelio, the CEO of Lenovo, the world‟s third-largest computer maker, calls his global workforce strategy “worldsourcing.” Lenovo has executive offices in five cities worldwide and organizes its workforce around hubs of expertise, such as hardware designers in Japan and marketers in India. “You operate as if there's just one time zone,” Amelio says. “And you're always on.”If anything, companies are devising new strategies to reach global scale faster. To retain workers in China, for example, PepsiCo‟s snacks unit funneled nearly 300 extra people into its talent assessment program last year and promoted three times as many managers as it did in 2006. In mid-2007 storage equipment maker EMC started a global innovation network for research and development workers at six labs around the globe. EMC set up a wiki Web site for scientists and engineers to develop technologies and product concepts together. (Words: 453)Unit Five Language and CulturePart OneWarm-up listeningDifferences Between Western Language Styles and Japanese Language StyleAfter I was married and had lived in Japan for a while, my Japanese gradually improved to the point where I could take part in simple conversations with my husband, his friends and family. And I began to notice that often, when I joined in, the others would look startled and the conversation would come to a halt. After this happened several times, it became clear to me that I was doing something wrong. But for a long time, I didn‟t know what it is. Finally, after listening carefully to many Japanese conversations, I discovered what my problem was. Even though I was speaking Japanese, I was handling the conversation in a Western way.Japanese-style conversations develop quite differently from western-style conversations. And the difference isn‟t only in the languages. I realized that just as I kept trying to hold western-style conversations even when I was speaking Japanese, so were my English students trying to hold Japanese-style conversations even when they were speaking English. We were unconsciously playing entirely different conversational ballgames.A western-style conversation between two people is like a game of tennis. If I introduce a topic, a。

Unit Five Language and CulturePart One Warm-up ListeningDifferences Between Western Language Styles and Japanese Language Style Task OneDifferences Between Western Language Styles and Japanese Language Style After I was married and had lived in Japan for a while, my Japanese gradually improved to the point where I could take part in simple conversations with my husband, his friends and family. And I began to notice that often, when I joined in, the others would look startled and the conversation would come to a halt. After this happened several times, it became clear to me that I was doing something wrong. But for a long time, I didn’t know what it is. Finally, after listening carefully to manyJapanese conversations, I discovered what my problem was. Even though I was speaking Japanese, I was handling the conversation in a Western way.Japanese-style conversations develop quite differently from western-style conversations. And the difference isn’t only in the languages. I realized that just as I kept trying to hold western-style conversations even when I was speaking Japanese, so were my English students trying to hold Japanese-style conversations even when they were speaking English. We were unconsciously playing entirely different conversational ballgames.A western-style conversation between two people is like a game of tennis. If I introduce a topic, a conversational ball, I expect you to hit it back. If you agree with me, I don’t expect you simply to agree and do nothing more. I expect you to add something—a reason for agreeing, another example, or a remark to carry the idea further. But I don’t ex pect you always to agree. I am just as happy if you question me, or challenge me, or completely disagree with me. Whether you agree or not, your response will return the ball to me. And then it is my turn again. I don’t serve a new ball from my o riginal starting line. I hit your ball back again from where it has bounced. I carry your idea further, or answer your questions or objections, or challenge or question you. And so the ball goes back and forth.If there are more than two people in the conversation, then it is like doubles in tennis, or like volleyball. There is no waiting in line. Whoever is nearest and quickest hits the ball, and if you step bac k, someone else will hit it. No one stops the game to give you a turn. You are responsible for taking your own turn and no one person has the ball for very long.A Japanese-style conversation, however, is not at all like tennis or volleyball. It’s like bowling. You wait for your turn, and you always know your place in line. It depends on such things as whether you are older or younger, a close friend or a relative stranger to the previous speaker, in a senior or junior position, and so on. The first thing is to wait for your turn, patiently and politely. When your moment comes, you step up to the starting line with your bowling ball, and carefully bowl it. Everyone else stands back, making sounds of polite encouragement.Part Two Focus ListeningEthnicityTask One1. The easiest way to look forwards is to look back to the "Great Labo(u)r Migration" of 1948-552. Racism diminishes in times of prosperity. When the economic going gets tough, people want someone to take their feelings out on.3. He envisages it in two ways: a mosaic of communities and a pick-and-mix social landscape.4. They are excluded and disadvantaged.5. It implies a Britain in which people will construct multiple identities defined by all sorts of factors: class, ethnicity, gender, religion, profession, culture and economic position. It won't be clear-cut.6. Enduring communities linked by blood through time versus flexible, constantly shifting identities.7. Identity won't be about where you have come from; it will be a set of values you can take anywhere that is compatible with full participation in whichever society you live in.EthnicityI find it easiest to look forwards by looking back, to the “Great Labour Migration” of 1948-55, seen at the time as a matter of black guests coming to a white host. It's a quasi-imperial perception that has shifted since the 1970s, but the social problems and deficiencies it engendered dog us still.It’s highly questionable whether Britain is an open society even now. Against the upward trend in the 1980s of ethnic minorities breaking into the professions and the media must be set objective evidence of a very racist society. Since the Stephen Lawrence affair the government has at least been talking about the existence of racism, but it’s always the case that racism diminishes in times of prosperity. When the economic going gets tough, people want someone to take their feelings out on.The social landscape seems to me at a surreal crossroads. Britain fosters images of itself as homogeneous—to be white is no longer the central defining feature—but there remain various kinds of "Britishness". So I can envisage the future in two very different ways.The first is broadly the way Britain is at the moment: a mosaic of communities—Bangladeshi, Afro-Caribbean, Chinese or Jewish holding fast to a strong social identity, but lumbere d also with a whole raft of benefits and disadvantages, most of them defined in economic terms. It’s possible that will still be the pattern in 50 years time, but not very likely.Instead, I expect the old duality of a “host community” and “immigrants” whose bad luck it is to be excluded and disadvantaged to have vanished. Some ethnic communities may make a point of survival, but only those who are most proud of their cultural roots.The alternative is a pick-and-mix social landscape. At the moment ethnic minorities are moving in different directions at different rates, with personal and social engagement across ethnic boundaries increasing all the time. One crude indicator is the level of mixed-race marriage: one in five Bangladeshi and Pakistani men born in Britain now has a white wife, and one in five babies born in Britain has one Afro-Caribbean and one white parent.This implies a Britain in which people will construct multiple identities defined by all sorts of factors: class, ethnicity, gender, religion, profession, culture and eco nomic position. It won’t be clear-cut. Not all ethnic minorities, or members of an ethnic minority, will be moving in the same direction or identifying the same issues at the heart of their identities. It’s about deciding who you are, but also about how ot her people define you.That’s what will be at the heart of the next 50 years: enduring communities linked by blood through time versus flexible, constantly shifting identities. Identity won’t be about where you have come from; it will be a set of values you can take anywhere that is compatible with full participation in whichever society you live in.Notes:Diminish decreaseProsperity affluenceGoing (unfavorable) conditionsTough difficult, hardTake sth. out on …拿……出气,向……发泄Landscape environmentSurreal 超现实的bizarre, weird, strangeAt a crossroad到达关键的发展阶段reach a very important stage in the development Foster developHomogeneous 单一的uniformEnvisage 设想,预见foresee, see in the mind as a future possibility Mosaic 马赛克,用小色块拼成的图案a mosaic of communities 马赛克式的多元社区fast 紧紧地firmly, tightlybe lumbered with 受……的拖累a whole raft of 一大堆,大量duality 二元结构vanish disappearmake a point of 特别注意,重视take particular care about crude naturalindicator 指标clear-cut clear, definiteenduring 持续的lastingversus 用"一方面……一方面"表示对立的双方against be compatible with 与……相容,不妨碍参考译文:民族特性我发觉展望未来的最简便方法是回顾过去。

第7单元A课文翻译 研究生英语

第7单元A课文翻译 研究生英语

参考译文伴生物种1. 伴生物种是指不被计算在上岸渔获量中的,但是受到捕捞影响的物种。

跨界鱼类种群,高度洄游鱼类和公海鱼类种群因受到如下因素的影响而影响其他物种:(1)丢弃,(2)未被捕捞上来的生物与渔具发生身体接触,(3)间接过程。

2. 渔业通过很多种机制来影响伴生物种,丢弃是目前人类获取知识最多的一种,尽管人类所知有限。

关于丢弃的全球最新信息是一份粮农组织的报告。

该报告估计全球海洋渔业的丢弃率约为百分之八,丢弃率会根据不同的国家,齿轮类型,目标物种和统计区发生改变。

3. 虾类拖网作业的平均丢弃率最高,为百分之六是二点三。

不同渔业的丢弃率差别很大,在零到百分之九十六之间变化。

尽管有一些跨界的或其他公海中的虾类种群的捕捞,大多数虾类拖网作业仍然限于对专属经济区中虾类种群的捕捞。

专属经济区中虾类的捕捞目标很有可能是生活在较深水域或冷水水域的物种。

冷/深水水域捕虾业的总丢弃率是百分之三十九,但在使用副渔获减少装置(BRDs)后(比如在格林兰岛),丢弃率相对较低,在百分之五左右。

混获的有各种长须鲸和无脊椎动物物种,也包括其他渔业中目标物种的幼鱼。

对于虾类拖网作业中丢弃的长须鲸物种(尤其是比目鱼)的关注促使一些渔业强制使用副渔获减少装置(BRDs)。

4. 延绳钓捕捞高洄游鱼种(主要是金枪鱼和类金枪鱼属物种)具有仅次于虾类拖网作业的丢弃率(平均丢弃率为百分之二十八,并且在零百分之四十范围内浮动)。

延绳钓中最常见的丢弃物种是蓝鲨。

其他鲨鱼,受到鲨鱼和海洋哺乳动物损害的目标物种,扁舵鲣,鲔,印度洋国王鲭鱼,和土魠鱼也在被捕获后丢弃。

5. 跨界鱼类种群和公海鱼类种群主要采用底层拖网捕捞。

目标为底栖鱼类的拖网渔船丢弃率百分之九点六(所有渔业)。

没有根据来判断跨界鱼类种群和公海鱼类种群的丢弃率与专属经济区鱼类种群的丢弃率孰高孰低。

专属经济区鱼类种群的捕捞量在总捕捞量中所占的比例如此之高以至于研究者估计目标为底栖鱼类的底层拖网捕捞所导致的1,700,000吨丢弃物大多来源于专属经济区渔业。

请来看看那古老的灯塔和 1935 年失事的大轮船残骸吧。

要十便士简直是敲诈勒索,可是海湾的景色确实壮丽。

峭壁向远方伸展,海风激起的阵阵波浪泛着白花,冲上海滩。

海面上几艘游艇张着乳白色的风帆优雅地避开浪头蜿蜓前进。

山崖下面,一群海鸥相互叫唤着,在海面上盘旋飞翔。

离岸一英里处,在海浪贪婪地吮舔着的岩岸上,那座古老的灯塔矗立在一座石头平台上。

说实话,我毫不吝惜那几个钱。

当我把望远镜转朝灯塔时,站在我身旁的那个老头拍了拍我的手腕。

您听过在那座灯塔里发生的一起骇人听闻的惨案吗? 他压低了嗓声对我说。

我想这个地方看起来非常富有戏剧性,有关它的传说一定不少,我说。

这可不是传说,那老头郑重其事地说。

我父亲认识那起惨案的两个当事人。

一切都发生在 50 年前的今天。

1 / 3让我说给您听听吧。

他的声音似乎变得更低沉、更富有戏剧性了。

整整一个礼拜,风暴困住了那座灯塔,他开始说。

咆啸的大海波涛汹涌,海浪拍打着岩石,轰然作响。

岸上的人们十分担心在那儿工作的两个人。

他们俩是多年的挚友,但在两三个礼拜前,他们在乡村酒店里玩牌时吵了一架。

马丁指责布莱克打牌时耍赖,布莱克则发誓要对侮辱他人格的不实之辞进行报复。

多亏一位他们俩都尊敬的人好言相劝,他们才互相道了歉,并以乎很快地结束了他们之间的不快。

不过各自心里还有些怨恨。

因此,人们担心长时间与世隔绝所造成的极度紧张和恶劣的天气会使他们俩神经过敏,尽管两人的朋友们不消说还根本没意识到后果会有多么严重。

离今 50 年前的那个晚上,灯塔上没有出现灯光,直到凌晨两点钟左右才有一束灯光突然发出警告信号。

今天,和平与发展已经成为时代主题,但世界仍很不太平,战争的达摩克利斯之剑依然悬在人类头上。

我们要以史为鉴,坚定维护和平的决心。

为了和平,我们要牢固树立人类命运共同体意识。

偏见和歧视、仇恨和战争,只会带来灾难和痛苦。

相互尊重、平等相处、和平发展、共同繁荣,才是人间正道。

世界各国应该共同维护以联合国宪章宗旨和原则为核心的国际秩序和国际体系,积极构建以合作共赢为核心的新型国际关系,共同推进世界和平与发展的崇高事业。

【参考译文】War is like a mirror. Looking at it helps us better appreciate the value of peace.Today, peace and development have become the prevailing trend, but the world is far from tranquil. War is like the sword of Damocles that is still hanging over human beings. We must learn the lessons from history and dedicate ourselves to peace.In the interest of peace, we need to foster a keen sense of a global community of shared future. Prejudice, discrimination, hatred and war can bring nothing but disaster and suffering, while mutual respect, equality, peaceful development and common prosperity represent the right path to take. All the countries should jointly uphold the international order and system underpinned by the purposes and principles of the UN Charter, build a new type of international relations featuring win-win cooperation and advance the noble cause of global peace and development.2. 英译汉(60分):选自《绿山墙的安妮》的连续几段故事。

1 我不相信幸运这回事。

我认为通常事情发展的顺利或者不顺利主要取决于人们自己的行为,我相信大多数情况下你可以通过努力工作、自我约束、坚持不懈、把个人的发展作为每天必考虑的事情等方面来创造自己的幸运。

2 许多的职业都包含其他人的参与。

你可能具有超强的学术能力,然而缺少社交能力,即有能力倾听别人,对其他人的反应敏感,甚至游刃有余地给出或者接受批评。

3 如果你周围的环境经常让你意志消沉,也许你的确应该改变一下了,可能不是改变你的位置,但至少是你的态度。

如果你能学会很好地利用任何情况,你就能消除挡在你和你的梦想之间的障碍。

4 任何人在忙忙碌碌的时候都会犯错误。

但是注意力不集中的人经常遇到麻烦,不是因为他们太忙了,而是因为他们缺乏优先考虑的事情,这样不仅浪费了他们的时间,也浪费了资源。

5 如果你拒绝改变,你就是拒绝成功。

学会灵活,否则就得学会习惯忍受失败。

6 你的天分越大,你就有可能越依赖于天分,甚至跳过日复一日完善它的工作。

如果你有这样消极的倾向,给自己定一个进步计划,这样你就能充分利用好你的天分。

第二章
1 老师教授常被描述成生活在象牙塔中的理想主义者,他们不谙世事,只强调理论知识的学习,而这些知识对帮助人们进一步走向未来的工作或职业并没有直接联系。

2 大学之所以存在是因为它维系了学习知识和热爱生活两者之间的联系。

这种结合是在对学习充满想象的思考中,通过把过去和现在联系起来而得以实现。

3 我们必须使每个学生开始明白:他/她在人类历史连绵不断的链条上只是其中一环,这一环虽小却至关重要,这条链的前面有数千年的历史,并向无限的未来延伸。

4 人生不是孤立地学习一些课程,充实的人生应该是找到艰巨的任务,然后尽我们所能—用我们的知识和力量来完成。

我们准备放手让你们来完成一些艰巨的任务,让我们拭目以待—看看你们如何完成。

5 让我们为学生营造环境,使他们成长为有创造性、有思想的人—懂历史、哲学、宗教、文学等等的个体。

毕竟,这些是“自由的艺术”,学习它们可以解放思想,有助于学生对陌生神秘事物的探索。

6 如果我们可以接受乌帕姆所讲的话,我们就有义务帮助学生面对他们毕业后所接触的真实的世界。

那么在这个日益发展的时代,文科才可能有光明的未来。

第三章
1 的确,全球化成为克林顿政府的“大战略”,视美国精英为能建立新的良性世界秩序的全球联盟中的首席—同等者之首。

2 贸易自由化陷入停顿,援助也未按照计划贯穿始终,扑救下一次金融大火的将是一位自身负伤的消防员。

3 全球化和自由贸易许诺的美好前景与新自由主义贸易政策的实际结果有着太多的不一致,新自由主义贸易政策带来的是加倍的贫困、更高程度的不平等和更严重的经济萧条。

4 这些协议常要求就市场准入做出更大的让步,对知识产权实施更严格的保护,因此在许多方面,比世贸组织的多边谈判更加危险。

5 自从被被吹捧为未来潮流流十五年来,全球化与其说是资本主义冒险的“勇敢新阶段”,不如说是一次令人绝望的尝试,全球资本希望通过这次尝试来避免20世纪70至80年代突如其来的全球经济不景气与不平衡。

20世纪90年代初期,中东欧中央集权社会主义国家的瓦解,使人们的注意力从这个事实上偏离开来。

6 迫切的任务并非将受公司驱动的全球化转为“社会民主”方向,而是要妥善应付他的衰退趋势,使其不再引起与其早期消亡标志相同的混乱和失控的冲突。

1 我们应该关注,但如果政府、美联储和国会采取负责任的行动,美元应已接近价格谷底且对大多数外币开始升值。

2 许多人认为(部分人显然希望)美元作为国际货币或许正在退出历史舞台。

美元近来的走弱和半个世纪以前的英镑作为国际储备货币的落败之间,人们看到同样让人担忧的事。

3 美元安然度过了三次风暴。

然而美元当前面临的强大风暴却是众多周期性气流和结构性气流的集合体。

过去的五年中,美元的下跌令全球外汇储备遭受了庞大的资本损失。

如果这种损失太严重,各国央行可能会考虑止损、抛售美元,这势必会导致美元暴跌。

4 各国持有外汇储备是为了支持对本币的信心,而不是为了将其作为外汇支付手段。

因此,储备货币应易于兑换(以便在紧急情况下提供流动性),并应具有良好的保值能力。

5 尽管万分焦虑,忧心忡忡,但有迹象表明,美元的跌势或许很快就会减速。

在过去几周里,在和包括英镑和澳元在内的几种主要货币的兑换中,美元已经回稳获利。

6 一战前夜,英国是头号贸易强国,而英镑在官方外汇储备中的份额则与法国法郎和德国马克的份额大致相当。

一战后,全球外汇储备依然维持了三分天下的局面,只是美元取代了马克的地位。

第五章
1 回想起来,他关于20世纪政治经济发展的观点是正确的,而且现在看来,他认为科技发展将会影响下一个世纪的看法是具有先见之明的。

2 然而毫无疑问的是,在接下来的一段时间里,(与其他语言相比)英语的使用率依然极高,如果仅仅是因为在英语世界里网络的使用仍然高于其他语言社区—在过去的两年里,英语国家的联网主机数量增加了450%,而日本增加了420%,法语国家增加了375%,德语国家增加了250%。

3 这并不是说互联网对语言使用没有重要影响。

它最终可以与出版业相媲美。

出版业最初创造了标准的国际化语言,然后又帮助创造了围绕这些语言的民族社区感。

错误在于认为这种作用上可以以其在全球被使用的粗略的百分比来衡量。

4你也许会感觉到这种策略不会减轻其他语言使用者的焦虑,这些人担心网络将被英语主宰,这不足为奇。

5 由于互联网将每一个文件变成可能的“国际的”出版物,这就经常激励网页用英文出版那些印刷形式不能发行的文件,这些文件通常不在国界以外传播。

反过来,在互联网上使用英语在很多国家成了重要地位的象征,因为这表明你说的事情可能会引起国际关注。

6 的确,我们也许对空想家们这些互动式论坛的描述持怀疑态度,他们认为这样的论坛是新的“电子平民”的核心,论坛最终会以直接的民主取代传统的政治体制—传统政治体制从来就是过于混乱、过于片面、过于不可靠而不能够承担所有的重担。

第七章
1 当今人们对环境的关注日益加深,也真正开始担忧:如果我们不立即改变自己的方式,我们给这个星球带来的损害,对子孙而言,将无法维系我们在过去两个世纪大部分时间内已经逐步习惯的经济水平。

2 地球和它的资源并不属于我们,我们不可以不为未来考虑就任意挥霍,这对我们来说不是一门简单的课程,但是我们正在逐渐的胜利,或者至少清醒地认识我们面对的艰巨任务。

3对所有潜在的污染者、所有的能源使用者和所有可能造成显著气候变化和全球变暖的人来说,他们正面临着越来越大的压力要净化自己的行为、采取更加环保的措施。

运输业也不例外,同样受到这方面的监督和压力;实际上它在这点上所吸引的关注似乎多余应得的—当然这些关注足以确保环境问题被提到各个部门的最高日程上。

4 国际海事组织近年来的环境工作涉及面十分广泛,包括我们的大气质量到微型水生物的一
切,船舶压载水中的微型水生物可能会被带到世界各地,进入不同的局部生态系统,破坏其脆弱的平衡,造成极大的破坏。

5 国际海事组织在这方面的工作是无限努力的一部分,其中,所有人都承担着责任,所有人都发挥着作用,恰如众所周知的环保行动倡议“思想全球化,行动本土化”所反映的观念。

6 从长远来看,社会需要解决自身的重点问题并理解不劳则无获的道理,为了全体的更大利益,我们必须准备好付出代价并作出牺牲。

第八章
1.黄昏降临时,我该感受到双倍的愉快,因为能看到人造的光芒,这是人类的天才创造出来的,当大自然黑暗降临之时,以延展他的视力。

2.去听悦耳的乐声,鸟儿的鸣唱,乐队的强劲旋律,就好像你明天就遭致失聪一样。

去触摸你想摸的每个物体,就像你明天会退化触觉意识一样。

去闻花朵的芳香,津津有味地去尝美味佳肴,就好像你明天会再也不能闻到、尝到一样。

3.第一天我献给了我的朋友们,有生命的和无生命的。

第二天向我展示了人类和自然的历史。

今天我将在当今的平凡世界里度过,在为生活事务忙碌的人们常去的地方度过。

4. 对我们具有的不怎么欣赏,而对我们不具有的却渴望得到,这是人性共有的特点。

然而,这是一个极大的遗憾,在光明的世界里,视力的天赋仅仅作为一种方便之用,而没有作为增添生活美满的手段。

5.法庭记录每天都显露出“见证人”看得多不准确。

一个特定的事件,要被尽可能多的人从几个不同的方面去“看到”。

有些人看得比另一些人要多些,而没有几个人看到了在他们的视线范围内的所有事情。

6.有些景象是愉快的,让心里充满快乐;而有些是悲惨的。

对后者,我并不闭上我的眼睛,因为这也是生活的一部分,对此闭起双目就是关闭起心灵与头脑。

第九章
1.认识他的人都会谈到他非凡的计算能力,能够不假思索地计算出一列又一列数字的总值-----沃伦的这个本领现在依然令他的同事们惊叹不已。

2.他在考虑读研究生时又显示出与几年前相同的抗拒。

3.他最著名的一次要求收兑债券是“北方管道”,一家由洛克非乐家族管理的石油运输公司。

4.此后不久,他发起了一场争夺代表权的战争,并在董事会获得一席之地。

5.巴菲特非常坚决地表示想要无偿作为Graham的合伙人,本拒绝了他。

本更希望将他公司里的职位留给犹太人,在当时犹太人不能在非犹太人的公司谋职。

沃伦受到了打击。

6. 尽管沃伦在家乡小有名气,除了朋友们和陌生人不断要求之外,他从不给人以股市上的建议。
