9、越來越多受英文教育的海外華人父母,已經(jīng)認識到孩子在掌握不可或缺的英文的同時,也通曉中文的重要性。中國的崛起,讓他們充分認識到孩子掌握雙語的好處--既能增加他們的就業(yè)機會,也能讓他們接觸和熟悉東西方兩種不同的文化。這些人對中文的態(tài)度幾乎沒有完全改變。曾幾何時,他們還非常驕傲地宣稱自己只懂英文?,F(xiàn)在,他們已開始積極支持孩子學習中文和中國文化,而且還不時走訪中國,欣賞壯觀的自然風光,認識豐富的文化遺產(chǎn)。
An increasing number of English-educated Chinese parents overseas have come to the realization that while English learning is indispensable to their children, it is essential that their kids have a good command of Chinese. China's rise has fully awakened their awareness of the fact that their kids can benefit from their bilingual ability which can not only enhance their competitiveness in the job market, but also facilitate their exposure to and familiarity with the two different cultures between the East and the West. They have hardly changed their attitudes towards Chinese. At one time they proudly declared that they knew English only. Now, they have begun to give full support to their kids learning Chinese and its culture, and they also make occasional visits to China,where they can enjoy its magnificent natural landscape and get to know its rich cultural heritage。
10、我贊同許多東亞學者的觀點,東方文明可以醫(yī)治盛行于西方世界的一些頑疾。西方世界個人自由主義泛濫導致了極端個人主義、性關系混亂以及過度暴力行為,對此我們不能視而不見。// 相反,東方社會的自我約束力,集體責任感以及溫厚儒雅的傳統(tǒng)倒可以消除西方社會的許多惡疾。// 在這個信息時代,世界已縮小成一個地球村。這個地球村里,不再有什么涇渭分明的東方世界和西方世界,我們是生活在同一個社區(qū)里的鄰里。// 因此,我們彼此之間無須沖突。我們之間的關系應該是一種友好合作,平等互補的關系。我們應該相互理解,相互學習,和睦共處。
I share the same view with many East Asian scholars that the Oriental civilization can heal some of the prevailing ,stubborn Western ills. We should not turn a blind eye to the fact that individual freedom has gone overboard in the West, resulting in extreme individualism, sexual promiscuity and excessive use of violence.// By contrast,self-discipline, corporate responsibility and the pacific tradition of East Asia can offset many Western vices.// At this age of information, the world has shrunk as a global village in which there will be no clear-cut worlds of the East and the West any more, but a world of one community with neighboring families.// Therefore,we do not necessarily have to come into clash with each other. Our relationship is one of friendly cooperation, equality and mutual complementarity and therefore,we should understand and learn from each other, and live in harmony.//
11、國際貿(mào)易的基本原則是平等互利,各國追求各自的利益是正常的,出現(xiàn)一些摩擦和糾紛也是不可避免的。關鍵要以冷靜而明智的態(tài)度正確對待和處理摩擦和糾紛。// 就中美貿(mào)易而言,互利共贏的經(jīng)貿(mào)關系給兩國人民帶來了實實在在的經(jīng)濟利益。今天,美國在華投資設立的企業(yè)已超過4 萬家,投資額達450 億美元。// 美國500 強企業(yè)有400 多家進入中國,大多數(shù)企業(yè)獲利豐厚。與此同時,在美國市場上,許多中國商品受到美國消費者的青睞。中國在美國投資設立的企業(yè)已超過1000 家。// 我們可以預見,中美貿(mào)易摩擦將隨著經(jīng)貿(mào)關系的深化而凸顯,但是中美經(jīng)貿(mào)合作的總體發(fā)展是不可逆轉的。主要有兩個原因,其一:中美貿(mào)易具有很大互補性。其二:中國產(chǎn)品具有明顯的勞動力成本優(yōu)勢。//
Equality and mutual benefit is the fundamental principle of international trade. Therefore, it is normal that countries will seek to protect their own interests, which may lead to trade frictions and disputes. The key lies in how to cope with these issues correctly in a cool and wise manner.// As for China-US trade, mutually beneficial and win-win trade and economic ties have delivered tangible economic benefits to the two peoples.Now, with over 40,000 U.S.- invested enterprises, the total investment in China stands at $45 billion.// Of the top 500 U.S companies, more than 400 have their business in China, and most of them are making handsome profit. At the same time, many Chinese commodities have become favored choices of American consumers.Meanwhile, the number of Chinese-invested enterprises in the United Sates has surpassed 1,000.// We predict that trade disputes between China and the United States will become more acute along with the further development in bilateral trade and economic cooperation. The overall development in bilateral trade and economic cooperation is, however, irreversible. There are two factors contribute to this trend.Firstly, the Sino-U.S. economic and trade relations enjoy complementarities in vast fields. Secondly, China has an outstanding labor cost advantage.//
12、中國國際出版集團是中國最大的、最權威的外語出版發(fā)行單位,其前身是中央人民政府新聞出版署國際新聞局。// 我集團堅持"讓中國走向世界,讓世界了解中國"的出版原則,全心致力于中國外語教育與研究事業(yè)的發(fā)展,全心致力于中外文化交流事業(yè)的拓展。// 為了加強對出版人才隊伍的建設,為了滿足日益增長的特殊出版業(yè)務的需要,我集團每年都要選派一些青年員工到國內(nèi)外知名高等學府和研究機構進修,// 根據(jù)我們的發(fā)展戰(zhàn)略,我們會將前進的步伐邁出國界走向世界,瞄準海外讀者群,這一戰(zhàn)略已取得了良好的開局。//
The China International Publishing Group is the largest and the most authoritative foreign language publishing and distribution establishment, its predecessor being the International Press Bureau of the Central People's Government Press and Publication Administration.//Adhering to the publishing philosophy of "assisting China's march to the world and facilitating world's understanding of China", the Group commits itself entirely to promoting foreign language education and research in China and advancing cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries.// In order to build up a strong team of publishing staff, as well as to meet the growing need of more technically demanding business, the Group makes it a rule that young staff be selected and sent to noted universities and research institutions, both domestic and overseas,for further studies.// As is clearly spelled out in our new development strategy,we will go beyond our national boundaries and wedge ourselves into the world circulation market, aiming at the international readership. Our initial efforts have been very rewarding.//
