首先，我感谢本届大会组委会得盛情，使我有机会在这里与各位见面，探讨世界经济发展的重大问题。

今年以来，中国经济持续快速健康发展，全年增长速度有望保持7%以上。中国的发展也有利于世界经济的复苏。

面对当前经济的形式，我认为，各国政府和工商界更要加强合作，增加信任，同舟共济。

中国的发展和开放已经使中国成为国际商界公认的全球大市场之一，给外国产品和服务进入中国市场提供了大量机会。

30多年前，美国总统尼克松在中美尚未建交的情况下来中国访问，为中美关系迈出重要的一步。

所有支持中美关系发展的人们，都为两国人民的政治胆略而欢欣鼓舞。当然，中美关系的发展并不是一帆风顺的。

令人欣慰的是，困难终能得到克服。如今，中美关系在各个领域都取得了长足的发展。

参考译文

Ladies and Gentlemen, on this moon-lit night, we , Chinese and American scholars, are gathered here to review the history of Sino-US contacts in a number of fields and look into the future of further cooperation and exchange between our two countries.More than thirty years ago, as an important step in Sino-US relations, President Nixon visited China when the two countries did not even have diplomatic relations.All supporters for closer China-US relations were filled with delight and excitement by the political insight our leaders displayed.Of course, China-US relations have not always been smooth.What is gratifying, though, is that difficulties could always be overcome.Now, substantial progre has been made in all fields of China-US relations.Paage 7

我们建立友好合作关系时是基于这样一种认识，即我们要在相互尊重和平等互利的基础上发展我们的友谊。

国际社会和各国当务之急，是继续采取一切必要的措施，尽快恢复市场信心。

在经济困难面前，各国对世界经济发展的前景有信心，国家领导人和各国人民对自己的国家有信心，企业对投资有信心，个人对消费有信心，这比什么都重要。

务实合作是战胜危机的有效途径，这是眼下不容置疑的。

参考译文

The global financial crisis is a challenge for the whole world.Confidence, cooperation and responsibility are key to overcoming the crisis.Confidence is the source of strength.The power of confidence is far greater than what can be imagined.The preing task for the international community and individual countries is to take further measures to restore market confidence as soon poible.In times of economic hardships, confidence of all countries in the prospect of global economic development, confidence of leaders and people around the world in their countries, confidence of enterprises in investment and confidence of individuals in consumption are more important than anything else.In tackling the crisis, practical cooperation is the effective way, which is undeniable under current circumstance.Page10

在经济全球化条件下，大家的命运已经联系在一起，谁也离不开谁。金融危机检验着国际社会合作的诚意和水平，考验着我们的智慧。

只有加强合作，携手努力，同舟共济，才能有效应对危机。承担责任是战胜危机不可或缺的重要基础。

各国政府坚定、勇敢、责任地承担起责任，对于稳定金融秩序、防止危机对实体经济影响加深，十分重要。

政治家要有远见卓识，既要对自己的国家和人民负责，也要对国际社会负责。参考译文

In a world of economic globalization, countries are tied together in their destinies and can hardly be separated from one another.The financial crisis is a test of the readine of the international community to enhance cooperation, and a test of our wisdom.Only with closer cooperation and mutual help, can we succefully manage the crisis.To prevail over the crisis, accepting responsibilities is the prerequisite.When governments fulfill their responsibilities with resolution and courage, they can help maintain a stable financial order and prevent the crisis from causing more serious damage on the real economy.Political leaders must be forward-looking.They should be responsible to the entire international community as well as to own countries and people.Paage11 中国是一个发展中的社会主义国家，中国的发展不但直接影响中国人民的未来，而且也极大地影响亚洲和世界的发展与进步。今晚在座的各位商办领袖都是各行各业的成功人士，你们拥有丰富的管理经验和战略眼光。

既然你们已经把眼光投向中国，中国欢迎你们。中国的经济发展将为你们提供大量的机会。

中国政府将为来华投资的外国企业提供优惠条件并且创造更好的投资环境。

参考译文

China is a developing socialist country and its future development will not only

directly affect the future of the Chinese people, but will also have a major impact on the development and progre of Asia and the world.All the busine leaders present tonight are outstanding achievers in your respective fields.You have a wealth of succeful experience and strategic vision.Since you have set your eyes on China, China welcomes you.The country’s economic development will also offer you tremendous opportunities.The Chinese government will offer good terms to foreign enterprises investing in China and create a better environment for them.Paage12 In closing, I would like to say a few words about China’s efforts to promote foreign investment.This is eentially a problem in public relations.China has an important meage to communicate, namely that it welcomes foreign investment, and that it is an attractive location for it.And it has an audience it would like to reach.They are decision makers in large firms in major industrialized countries.To date, many efforts have suffered from a lack of profeionalism.For years delegations from various provinces have traveled to the west with a view to promoting hundreds of potential investment projects.But the results are often disappointing.参考译文

最后，我还想简单地谈一下中国对于促进外国投资所做的努力。这主要是一个公共关系的问题。

中国有一下很重要的信息要传出：中国欢迎外国投资，而且中国是一个具有吸引力的投资场所。

中国希望把这一信息传递给她的听众—那些主要工业国的大公司的决策人。迄今为止，许多努力由于缺乏专业水准未能奏效。多年来，各省的代表团纷纷到西方国家访问，以期促成几百个潜在的投资项目，但结果往往令人沮丧。

Paage 13

This week we have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to enhance the existing international trading environment;to generate wealth on a broader and deeper scale globally.And, most important of all, to help alleviate the pain of millions of people living in the poorer parts of this world.I am pleased that Hong Kong, China is today at the centre of this admirable enterprise.I cannot emphasize strongly enough the importance of the WTO.It is the only international organization that deals with the rules of trade between economies.It is also a powerful force in countering the currents of protectionism and discrimination

which are responsible to a large extent for the economic hardship suffered by le wealthy and le well-endowed economies.And ultimately, the WTO is a key component in the global effort to attain the United Nations’Millennium Goal of Development in tackling the scourge of poverty and hunger.参考译文

在这个星期我们有个非常难的机会，能够共聚一堂，为优化现有的国际贸易环境做出努力，为全球各地更广泛地创造财富做出努力。最重要的是帮助贫困地区数以百万计的人民脱离贫困。我很高兴地看到中国香港今天能领头肩负起这项崇高的任务。世贸组织的重要性怎么强调都不过分。它是唯一一个能够处理全球各经济体之间贸易规则的国际组织。同时它也是对保护主义和贸易歧视的主要力量。这两股势力在很大程度上导致了较贫穷、较弱势的经济体沦入经济困境。世贸组织最终更是全球合力消除贫困饥饿、达成联合国千年发展目标的关键力量。

Paage14 Thank you very much for your gracious speech of welcome.China is one of the earliest cradles of civilization and a visit ancient civilization has long been my dream.This visit will give me an excellent opportunity to meet old friends and establish new contacts.I wish to say again that I am so delighted and privileged to visit your great country and this lovely town.I am deeply grateful for everything you have done for me since my arrival in China.参考译文

国际社会

Paage1 随着新世纪的到来，世界人民都渴望一个和平、安全、发展的新纪元。但事实证明天下远不太平。

随着科学技术发展的不断加快，地球变得越来越小，国与国之间、民族民族之

间的我冲突不断发生。

要消除人类在21世纪面临的危机，让各国人民和平共处，共同发展，就必须提倡文化交流和合作。

交流互相理解的开始，而合作是解决各种问题的前提。如果没有交流和合作，无知、偏见、猜疑就会加剧并且成为敌意。

参考译文

With the arrival of the new century, people of the world are longing for a new century of peace security, cooperation and development.But facts have proven that the world is far from(being)peaceful.With the acceleration of the development of science and technology, the world is getting smaller and smaller.The constant conflicts between countries and between nations break out one after another.To solve the crises we face in the 21st century and achieve peaceful coexistence between people of different nations, realize common development for all, we should greatly promote cultural exchange and cooperation.Exchanges are the beginning of mutual understanding;cooperation is the precondition for solving all problems.Without exchange and cooperation, ignorance, bias and distrust will worsen into hostility.Paage2 深化国际经贸合作，推进多边贸易体制健康发展。历史经验告诉我们，越是危机关头越要坚持开放与合作。

贸易保护主义不仅会加大危机的严重程度，还会使危机持续更长的时间，是损人利己的行为。要积极推及贸易投资自由便利化。

中国坚定地支持推动多哈回合谈判早日达成平衡的结果，建立公平、开放的多边贸易体制。

作为多边贸易体制的重要补充，积极推进区域经济一体化的过程。

参考译文

Deepen international economic cooperation and promote a sound multilateral trading regime.Past experience shows that in crisis it is all the more important to stick to a policy of opening-up and cooperation.Trade protectionism serves no purpose as it will only worsen and prolong the crisis.It is therefore neceary to move forward trade and investment liberalization and facilitation.China firmly supports efforts to reach balanced results of the Doha Round negotiations at an early date and the establishment of a fair and open multilateral trading regime.As an important supplement to such a trading regime, regional economic integration should be vigorously promoted.Paage3 中国是最大的发展中国家，他、它的未来发展不仅直接关系着中国人民的前途，而且对世界的发展与进步也会产生重要影响。

展望未来我们充满信心，中国人民将继续坚定不移地走改革开放的道路，与时俱进，全面建设小康社会。

中国的发展与外国的发展，是互相联系、互相补充的，我们应该在平等互利的基础上加强交流与合作。

中国人民希望过上和平幸福的生活，也希望各国人民携手努力，实现共同发展的普遍繁荣。

on another country.Paage5 Against such a backdrop, China-Canada common interest has increased;the foundation of their cooperation further solidified.A key reason behind the sound growth of our relations is that China and Canada share common interests in maintaining peace and stability of the Asia-Pacific region and the world at large.Economically, our two economies are complimentary to each other.China is the world’s biggest developing country with a huge potential market.Canada, one of the leading industrialized economies in the world is known for rich natural resources, strong financial strength and cutting-edge technologies.参考译文

这样的大背景下，中加两国拥有越来越多的共同利益；两国之间合作的基础也日益坚固。

两国友好关系稳定发展的一个关键因素就是中国和加拿大在保持亚太地区乃至全世界的和平与稳定方面利益一致。

两国从经济上说也相辅相成。中国是世界上最大的发展中国家，拥有巨大的潜在市场。

加拿大，作为世界上主要的工业化国家，以丰富的自然资源、强大的金融力量和尖端的科学技术闻名遐迩。

Paage6 The people’s Republic of China and the United States of America are two treat nations with very different cultures, political traditions and economic system.In spite of these differences, they have also many common interests, which can be promoted by improved relations.Although our trade relations sometimes is a source of disputes and misunderstanding, trade also can provide a link to establish improved conditions and increased good will between our two countries.As this relationship is developed on the basis of equality and mutual benefit, the people of both nations should prosper.参考译文

中华人民共和国和美国是两个伟大的国家，但两国的文化、政治传统和经济制度相距甚远。

尽管如此，两国还存在着许多共同利益，这些利益可以通过改善关系得以实现。

虽然美中之间的贸易关系有时会产生争执和误解，但是贸易也可以为改善两国的经济状况、增进友谊架起桥梁。

由于这种关系是在平等互利的基础上发展起来的，两国人民应当会从中获利。

我们认为，保护环境是全人类的共同任务。中国将积极发展环境保护领域的双边和多边合作。

我们要在环境规划与管理、污染控制与预防等方面开展与世界各国的交流与合作，争取取得一批重要成果。

I am speaking in strong protest against the construction of very tall buildings in the city, such as skyscrapers.Skyscrapers are a man-made hazard, which will have damaging effect on our environment and our lives.As an increasing number of ecologists point out, a cluster of high-rise buildings in a city often overburden public transportation and parking-lot capacities.High-rises consume a great amount of power.In addition, they get in the way of birds’flying and blockading air-traffic.I think many architects build skyscrapers for personal ambition, at the cost of the environment.To protect our environment for us and for our children, we should stop our cities from growing any higher.参考译文

我声明强烈抗议在城市建造诸如摩天大楼那样的高楼。摩天大楼是人为的灾祸，将毁坏我们的环境和生活。越来越多的生态学家指出，城市里的高楼群往往会使市区的公共交通和停车容量负担过重。

摩天大楼耗费大量的电力。此外，摩天大楼还妨碍鸟类的飞行，堵塞空中交通。

我认为许多建筑师盖摩天大楼是以环境为代价来实现个人的抱负。为了我们和下一代而保护环境，我们应该阻止城市继续攀升。

Paage4

It terms of its impact on our society, I think AIDS will certainly be the number one serious public-health hazard going into the next century.Among all the ways and means, a maive educational campaign is the only thing conceivable at the moment that can really help.Some people argue that a nationwide, or worldwide, educational campaign on AIDS awarene is difficult, expensive and therefore impoible.I think their argument is groundle.We will have to convince people that they’re better off knowing the fact, because we can take actions, treat the problem and control AIDS infection with appropriate

drugs.参考译文

从对我们社会所造成的影响这个角度来看，我认为艾滋病必定是进入下一世纪头好公共健康大敌。

在所有的措施中，开展大规模的教育活动是目前唯一行之有效的方法。

有些人认为，在全国范围或全世界范围开展预防艾滋病的教育活动难度大，代价高，因而无法实施。我认为这种观点是毫无根据的。

我们应该使人们相信，了解实际情况总比蒙在鼓励好，因为了解实情后我们便可以行动起来，共同探讨这一问题，并可以用适当的药物来控制艾滋病的传染。

Global warming refers to an average increase in the Earth’s temperature, which in turn causes changes in climate.A warmer greenhouse gases Earth may lead to changes in rainfall patterns, a rise in sea level, and a wide range of impacts on plants, wildlife, and human.When scientists talk about the iue of climate change, their concern is about global warming caused by human activities.Many greenhouse gases come from things we do every day.These greenhouse gases trap energy in the atmosphere and make the Earth warmer.参考译文

全球变暖是指地球平均温度升高，从而导致气候变化。

地球变暖会使降雨高式发生改变，海平面升高，并给农作物、野生动植物及人类带来各种影响。

当科学家提到气候变化时，他们关注的是人类活动带来的全球变暖。

我们的日常生活造成许多温室气体，而这些温室气体产生能量凝聚在大气层，从而使地球升温。

Paage6 Global warming may be a big problem, but there are many little things we can do to make a difference.If we try, most of us can do our part to reduce the amount greenhouse gases that we put into the atmosphere.Driving a car or using electricity is not wrong.We just have to be smart about it.Some people use le energy by carpooling.For example, four people can ride together in one car instead of driving four cars to work.参考译文

全球变暖可能是一个大问题，可是我们可以从小处着手来进行一些改变。

只要我们努力，我们中间大部分人都可以从自己做起，来减少我们送到大气层去的温室体量。

开车或者用电没有错，只要我们要做得更巧妙一点。

有些人通过拼车来减少能源的损耗。比如，可以四个人拼搭一辆车，而不是每人各驾一辆车。

说明和介绍

Paage1 丝绸之路可以追溯到公元前2世纪。当时一名中国使者张骞沿着这条连接亚欧两大洲的贸易通道出使西域。

这条通道源于今日的西安，一路穿越河西走廊、塔里木盆地以及西亚港国，最后抵达地中海的东海，全程7000公里。

中国通过这条道路给西域各国带去了丝绸织物、火药、造纸术和印刷术。同时，也从国外给中国引进了佛教、伊斯兰教、以及葡萄、玻璃、香水等产品。因为著名的中国丝绸是沿着这条通道进入西方国家的，所以欧洲学者将这条通道称作“丝绸之路”。

参考译文

The Silk Road dates back to the second century B.C.when a Chinese envoy Zhang Qian embarked on his busine trip to western countries following this trade thoroughfare linking Asia and Europe.Originating from the present-day Xi’an the 7,000-kilometer route traversed the Hexi Corridor, the Tarim Basin, the port countries of West Asia, ending at the eastern shores of the Mediterranean.China brought its silk cloth, gunpowder, and paper-marking and printing techniques to the West via this road.This road, in return, introduced into China Buddhism and Islam as well as grapes, gla, perfume and other products from the outside world.Because the China’silk reached the West along this road, European scholars came to call it the “Silk Road”.Paage2 欢迎各位参观上海博物馆。上海博物馆是我国90年代建成的一座大型现代化博物馆。

但对国内大多数学生来说，学英语首先得应付考试，而且只靠读写的笔试，弄得大家一想起英语就是背单词和讲语法，把大家学英语的胃口都弄坏了。

结果是，许多英语笔试得高分的中国学生，碰到“老外”时结结巴巴：别人说的我听不懂，我说的别人也听不懂。

In recent years, China has seen a surge of English-learning waves.Many people believe that the command of English means the command of knowledge as well as the command of future.However, for most students at home, they learn English first to pa the examinations, written examinations that cover only reading and writing.This makes people always aociate English with the memorizing of words and analyzing of grammar, which in turn spoils people’s interest in learning English.The result is that many Chinese students who scored high in written English tests could not communicate fluently with foreigners: I cannot understand what other people say , nor can I make myself understand.Now, the common consensus is that the key to learning English is not genius but diligence.If you can spend 5 to 6 hours a day reading and practicing English, you will certainly dig a lot out of it.Paage2 我认为，21世纪的决定性趋势之一，就是中国作为国际秩序中一个重要参与者的出现。作为一个历史学家，我想选用“中国再起”而不是“中国崛起”这一措辞。

I think that one of the decision trends in the 21st century is that China appears as an important participant in the international order.As a historian, I would rather use “the revival of China” than the “rise of China”.What does the “revival of China” mean? After going through one and half a century internal turbulence, China has reappeared in the international order in the fields of politics, diplomacy, economy and security and begun again to participate in international affairs.To the question whether or not China’s development is a threat, the answer of course is negative.At the United Nations, Chinese leaders once promised to the world that “China will never seek hegemony”.Traditional Chinese culture pays attention to “broad love” and “non-attacking”.We invented gunpowder, hut we have never used it to make guns to invade others；we invented the compa, but we have never used it to make warships to prowl about the four seas.Paage3

少年，尤其是少女，特别是容易受到广告的影响。因为她们是涉足消费市场不久的无经验的消费者，所以成了许多广告的主要争夺对象。

广告商们充分意识到自己的影响力。她们毫不迟疑地利用年轻人的渴望，向他们提供所谓的“生活的万能答案”。

更糟糕的是，具有强渗透力和说服力的广告教导我们“万般皆下品，唯有物质高”，让我们感到幸福是可以花钱购买的，产品可以满足我们人类最深次的需求。

Paage5 Different from Chinese people, traditional, we American work because it is the will of God, and we often value the results and accomplishments of work more than proce.I really appreciate the devotion and commitment that the Chinese people have shown in their work.I think most Chinese view their work as eential for having

membership in a community.They believe that work allows them to have the sense of belonging to a community.In other words, work is neceary for them to gain social acceptance in the society.That is why many Chinese managers and employees work so hard to maintain their positions in their companies.Also, they see work as the most important thing in life.This is，they have tried to find the meaning of life through their jobs.参考译文

他们相信，工作使他们有归属感。也就是说，中国人为了得到社会的认可，他们必须工作。

这就是为什么中国经理和员工们努力工作以保住公司职位的原因。中国人还把工作视为生活中最重要的一件事。也就是说，他们试图在工作中找到生活的意义。

In our American society of market economy, everybody talks about making-money.Does money mean everything? Can money buy happine？Oh, No!

But would a little more money make us a little happier？ Many of us would smile and nod.There is, we believe, some connection between financial fitne and feeling fantastic.Most of us would say that, yes, we would like to be rich.Two thirds of American college students now consider it “very important” that become “very well off”.Well, are rich people happier? Researchers have found that in poor countries, being relatively well off does make people feel happier.But in rich countries where nearly everyone can afford life’s neceities, increasing wealth matters surprisingly little.参考译文

What is time? Is it a thing to be saved or spent or wasted, like money? Or is it something we have to control over, like the weather? Or is it something too valuable to lose, like one’s life?

Benjamin Franklin was right when he expreed this view：“Do you like life? Then do not waste time, for that is the stuff lire is made of.” We Americans see time as extremely valuable resource.We Americans also believe that time is a limited resource, and therefore we try to conserve and manage it.We often attend seminars or read books on time management, hoping that we will organize our time better.Profeionals carry around pocket planners — some in electronic form — to keep track of appointments and deadlines.All in all, we do all we can to squeeze more life out of our life.参考译文

The justification for a university is that it preserves the connection between knowledge and the zest of life, by uniting the young and the old in the imaginative consideration of learning.The university imparts information, but it imparts it imaginatively.At least, this is the function which it should perform for society.A university which fails in this respect has no reason for existence.This atmosphere of excitement, arising from imaginative consideration, transforms knowledge.A fact is no longer a bar fact: it is invested with all its poibilities.It is no longer a burden on the memory: it is energizing as the poet of our dreams, and as the architect of our purposes.参考译文
