英語四級閱讀理解精煉50篇01:印度總理在北京大學(xué)的演講(含答案)

　　Speech By Pr ime Minister Of India

　　At Peking University No objective analysis can deny the combined strength and complementarity of an India -China partnership:

　　We have the problems of continent-sized1 countries — unequal development, a wide spread of income disparities, and a potential digital divide. Exchange of developmental experiences can be valuable.

　　We are both at the forefront of developing and applying the technologies, which drive the Knowledge Economy.

　　We have a harmonious balance of strengths. India ’s strengths in Information Technology, software engineering, management and financial services are well matched by the Chinese expertise in hardware, construction and industry.

　　Both India and China were present at the broader dialogue of developing countries with the G-8 countries2 in Evian. I was struck by the congruence in our positions. If we acted in concert, it would be very difficult for the world to ignore us.

　　India and China have frequently reiterated their commitment to the development of a cooperative multi-polar world order3 . In the complex international situation of today, we have a role to play in helping to restore the authority of the international organisations,which have been undermined in recent months.

　　One cannot wish away the fact that before good neighbours can truly fraternize with each other, they must first mend their fences. After a hiatus4 of a few decades, India and China embarked on this important venture a few years ago. We have made good progress.

　　I am convinced that, with steadfast adherence to the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence, with mutual sensitivity to the concerns of each other, and with respect for equality, our two countries can further accelerate this process so that we can put this difference firm ly behind us. I am encouraged after my discussions with Premier Wen Jiabao that both our countries see an opportunity to proceed along this path.

　　It is a tryst5 with destiny, which beckons to us. When we redeem it, we can truly fulfil the ideal of close cooperation, described so colourfully by Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore :“When daylight breaks, we are free from the enclosure and the exclusiveness of our individual life . It is then that we see the light, which is for all men and for all times. It is then that we come to know one another, and come to cooperate in the field of life . ”

　　CET4大學(xué)英語四級閱讀參考譯文：

　　印度總理在北京大學(xué)的演講

　　沒 有任何客觀研究能夠否認(rèn)印中合作伙伴關(guān)系的優(yōu)勢和互補(bǔ)性:我們都有大國面臨的問題——— 發(fā)展的不平衡, 普遍存在的收入差距, 以及潛在的數(shù)據(jù)鴻溝。相互交流發(fā)展經(jīng)驗是很有價值的。

　　我們都處在推動知識經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展的技術(shù)開發(fā)及應(yīng)用的前沿。

　　我們雙方的優(yōu)勢可以和諧互補(bǔ)。印度在信息技術(shù)、軟件工程、管理和財務(wù)服務(wù)方面的強(qiáng)項, 可以與中國在硬件、建設(shè)和工業(yè)方面的專長相互取長補(bǔ)短。

　　印 度和中國都在埃維昂參加了發(fā)展中國家與八國集團(tuán)的非正式對話。我對我們兩國在立場上的一致性感到驚訝。如果我們一致行動, 世界將很難忽視我們。

　　印度和中國都多次重申對于發(fā)展互利合作的多極世界新秩序的承諾。當(dāng)今國際局勢復(fù)雜多變, 我們都有義務(wù)幫助恢復(fù)國際組織的權(quán)威性, 這種權(quán)威性在最近幾個月受到了破壞。

　　人們不能忽視這個事實: 好鄰居必須首先修補(bǔ)自己的籬笆, 然后他們才能真正善待彼此。雖然裂痕存在了幾十年, 但兩國幾年前就開始了這項重要的補(bǔ)救事業(yè), 并且已經(jīng)取得了長足的進(jìn)步。我相信, 只要我們堅持和平共處五項原則, 對彼此關(guān)心的問題保持一種共有的敏感, 尊重彼此的平等權(quán)利, 我們兩個國家就能夠進(jìn)一步促進(jìn)兩國之間的發(fā)展, 堅定地把分歧放在一邊。在同溫家寶總理會談后, 我們都看到了沿著這條道路繼續(xù)發(fā)展兩國關(guān)系的機(jī)遇, 對此我深受鼓舞。

　　這個會談是歷史的必然, 它在不斷地召喚著我們。只要我們恢復(fù)兩國之間的關(guān)系, 我們就能夠真正地實現(xiàn)密切合作的愿望, 就像我國詩人泰戈爾所描述的那樣絢麗多彩:“ 當(dāng)日光破曉, 我們從自我封閉和孤獨中解脫出來。正是此時我們得見賜予全人類的永恒的光明。正是此時我們開始互相了解, 開始在生活原野上合作。”

　　閱讀導(dǎo)評:

　　印度對于很多中國人來說意味著:《西游記》里的天竺、泰戈爾、泰姬陵, 還有現(xiàn)在美國硅谷軟件的初加工基地。亞洲在很長一段時間遭受歐洲列強(qiáng)的欺凌, 經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展滯后固然是根本原因, 但是更重要的是亞洲各國都各自為政不團(tuán)結(jié): 日本提出“ 脫離亞洲論”、朝韓對立、印巴核競賽、兩伊戰(zhàn)爭, 中國則長期為臺灣問題煩惱。反觀歐洲: 當(dāng)初的死敵———政治巨人法國和經(jīng)濟(jì)巨人德國聯(lián)手驅(qū)動歐盟的統(tǒng)一和發(fā)展, 這其中需要亞洲反思的何止萬千。

　　----------------------------------------------------------------

　　閱讀講解：

　　1. continent-sized adj. 像大陸一樣的, 幅員遼闊的。( 反義詞) small-sized, pocket-sized, portable.印度別稱Indian Subcontinent ( 印度次大陸) 。

　　2. 八國集團(tuán)。原來的“ 西方七國集團(tuán)” 包括: 美洲的美、加, 歐洲的德、法、英、意,亞洲的日本。1997 年俄羅斯正式加入。該組織主要討論經(jīng)濟(jì)問題, 協(xié)調(diào)各國的宏觀經(jīng)濟(jì)政策。近年來政治問題也逐漸成為會議的重要議題。最近有呼聲要求邀請中國加入,成為“九國集團(tuán)”。

　　3. 多極化世界秩序。在前蘇聯(lián)解體后, 原有的兩極化格局被打破, 世界進(jìn)入由美國( 唯一超級大國) 和多極( 歐洲、中國、俄羅斯等) 構(gòu)成的世界新秩序。

　　4. hiatus n. 裂縫。中國和印度曾因邊界上英國殖民遺留的“ 麥克馬洪線”問題動過武, 印度至今仍然實際占領(lǐng)我國西藏地區(qū)的大片土地。

　　5. tryst n. ( 古英語) 約會。( 同義詞) appointment, date, rendez-vous.

　　6. 羅賓德拉納德·泰戈爾( 1861—1941) 是印度著名詩人、小說家、藝術(shù)家、社會活動家。1913 年11 月, 泰戈爾的《吉檀迦利》獲得了諾貝爾文學(xué)獎。他曾訪問中國, 和我國文學(xué)名家徐志摩、冰心等有交往。
