就像你所說的,最近隨著國家的發(fā)展,對外國專家的需求也與日俱增。你認為外國專家只對技術進步有貢獻嗎?那么我們又怎樣來衡量他們的技術水平呢?
You: They are also helpful in creating global connections between China and the world,enhancing friendships between nations and advancing world peace. But the funny thing is thatwe can’t tell who are the real experts, so we need some way of testing who the real expertsare.
不,他們還可以幫助中國與整個世界建立聯(lián)系。增進各國人民之間的友誼以及友好合作往來,促進世界和平。但是,問題是有時我們不能很好的識別哪些是真正的專家,哪些不是。因此,我們需要有一些來作為衡量的標準。

那么這些專家都來自哪些國家呢?
You: You name it. They come from a lot of countries, such as America, countries in Europe, andeven other Asian countries, such as Japan and Korea.
