I am also seeking possibilities of establishing, through partnership with our Chinese

我们还希望与中国同行携手建立以在上海的跨国公司为对象的咨询服务
机构，所以我此行的另一目的就是想了解一下这一计划的可行性。
Last but not the least, I would like to extend in person our official
invitation to the mayor of Shanghai. We would like His Honor to visit the city of San
Francisco at his earliest convenience, so as to give us an opportunity to return the warm
reception and hospitality we enjoy here.
最后,我此行的又一项重要任务是向上海市长面呈访问我市的正式邀请，

尊敬的主席阁下，各位代表，女士们，先生们，
Respectable Madam Chairperson, Representatives of the Conference, Ladies and
gentlemen,
在这个美丽无比的金秋季节，我们在北京迎来了第四届世界妇女大
会的召开。这是一次世界历史上规模空前的妇女大会，也是世界历
史上最重要的国际会议之一。
In this most beautiful autumn season, we welcome in Beijing the opening
of the 4th World Conference on Women, the largest and one of the most important
international meetings of its kind in world history.
联合国185个成员国的代表、联合国组织和各区域性国际组织的代表，
以及2,000多个非政府组织的代表在此聚会。她们将庄严宣誓，要迅
速采取行动，消除歧视妇女的现象,使妇女能够尽快与男子一起创造
和分享21世纪的和平与繁荣。
Representatives from 185 UN member states, from the United Nations
and international organizations of various regions, as well as from over 2,000
non-governmental groups, gather together to make a solemn promise that they will take
rapid action to eliminate discrimination against women, so that they can quickly join with
men to create and share peace and prosperity of the 21st century.
男女平等实属天经地义。早在人类社会的初期，妇女便与男子一起建
设家园，分享野果和战利品，抚养后代。
Equality between men and women is fully justified. Back in the early days of human
history, women and men jointly built their homelands, shared wild fruits and trophies
and brought up the younger generation.
然而，千百年来妇女被剥夺了与男子平等相待的基本权利，无尊严可
言，失去了决定国家和家庭事务的权利。
However, for many centuries women were denied the basic right to equality with men,
and deprived of their dignity and the decision-making
power over affairs of the state and of the family.
多少年来，这个世界一直处于男性的统治之下。妇女不幸沦为二等公
民，她们往往成了歧视、暴力和羞辱的对象。
The world has long been under the control of men.
Regarded unfortunately as second-class citizens, women
are frequently subject to discrimination, violence and humiliation.
但是，事情总会恢复它的本来面目。今天，男女平等在国际社会
中被普遍视为一种人权，并已写入联合国宪章。
However, things will eventually return to their original nature.
Today, equality between men and women is generally recognized as
a basic human right by the international community and has been written into the
Charter of the United Nations.
在过去的半个世纪里，世界各地有良知的男子和有勇气的女性一起
付出了巨大的努力，在很大程度上成功地使占人口半数的妇女重新
获得了与男子同等的权利。
Over the past half century, intuitive men and courageous women
across the world have made tremendous efforts and, to a large extent, succeeded in
enabling females, who make up half of humanity, to regain equal ights with men.
intuitive 直觉的、本能的
intuitive knowledge 良知
c. f. conscience 良心、是非之心、正义感
我们寄希望于本届世妇会，这是因为它将采取更为有效的步骤来
加速提高世界各地妇女地位的进程，使全世界男男女女能作为平
等的伙伴共同步入21世纪。
We place our hope on the current World Conference on Women
because it will take more effective steps to speed up the process of enhancing the status of
women worldwide, so that men and women across the world will enter the 21st century in
equal partnership.
我们寄希望于本届世妇会，这是因为我们相信这次会议将促进各
国之间，尤其是妇女姐妹们之间的相互理解和友好交流，使世界
各国也能以伙伴关系平等相待。
We place our hope on the conference because we believe it will promote mutual
understanding and friendly exchanges between various nations, particularly between
women, so that countries around the world will also share equal partnership.
我们希望本届世妇会成为促进人类文明、和平与进步的一个光辉
里程碑。
We hope that the conference will become a brilliant landmark of promoting the
civilization,peace, and progress of humanity.
为此，我们热烈欢呼第四届世界妇女大会的召开，并预祝大会圆
满成功。谢谢。
For this, we warmly herald the opening of the Fourth World Conference on Women and
wish the Conference acomplete success. Thank you.

第二篇 中国旅游
国际旅游是各国人民之间增进了解、加强友谊的有效途径。
International travel is an effective way of promoting understanding and friendship
among the peoples of the world.
有着五千年文明史的中国更是各国游客向往的地方。
China, with its 5,000 years of civilization, has always been a tourist destination for people
of other countries.
但是，如果您在中国看到的都是一些名山大川、名胜古迹，如西安
的兵马俑、桂林的山水、北京的长城或故宫，那么您所看到的仅仅
是泰山杯土而已。
If, however, all you have seen in China are famous mountains and great rivers, places of
historical interest and scenic beauty, such as the terra-cotta warriors and horses in Xi'an,
Guilin scenery of beautiful mountains and rivers, the Great Wall or the Palace Museum in
Beijing, then you have seen only the tip of the iceberg.
现在展现在您面前的是一整套全新的中国旅游节目，其中大部分以中
国传统文化为特色。
Now a whole new panorama of tourist destinations awaits you, most of which are
characterized by traditional Chinese culture.
自1992年以来，中国国家旅游局每年都为游客安排了不同的旅游主题，
如'92中国友好观光游、'93中国山水风光游、'94中国文化遗产游、'95中
国民俗风情游、'96中国度假胜地游、'97中国旅行游。
The China National Tourism Administration (CNTA) has been setting different tourist
themes each year since 1992: the Visit-China Tour of '92, China Landscape Tour of '93,
China Heritage Tour of '94, China Folklore Tour of '95, China Resort Tour of '96 and the
Travel-in-China Tour of '97.
这些旅游节目集观光、度假和文化活动于一体，使游客有机会了解中国 文化，尽情观赏所游之地的风土人情，尤其是当地的历史名胜和人文景
观。
All these programs have been designed to incorporate sightseeing, vacationing and
participating in cultural activities, thus providing tourists with an opportunity to learn
about Chinese culture as well as enjoy, to their hearts' content, the customs of the country
around them, particularly the places of historic interest and cultural heritage.
incorporate 合并、集……于一体
to incorporate sightseeing, vacationing and participating in cultural activities
=sightseeing + vacationing + participating in cultural activities
to one's heart's content 尽兴地、心满意足地
中国56个民族的不同风俗是中国的宝贵财富，是世界的宝贵财富，是 中国最重要的旅游资源之一。
The different customs and cultures of China's 56 ethnic groups, both a national and world
treasure, make up one of China's most important tourist resources.
这些新的旅游项目加上传统的旅游节目，可以使旅客对中国的国情有一 个比较完整、比较彻底的了解。
The new programs, added to all the traditional tours that preceded them, may provide
those participating visitors with a fairly complete and thorough idea of what China is all
about.
鉴于过去许多来华的海外游客对中国旅游服务质量有所不满，中国国家 旅游局制定了一系列新的暂行条例，其目的在于提高各旅行社的服务水 准，减少事故发生的情况，保障来华旅客的安全与舒适。
In the past, many overseas tourists complained about poor service they received when
visiting this country. CNTA has accordingly set up a series of new provisional regulations
which aim at upgrading the service level of travel agencies, reducing accidents and
ensuring to visitors to China safety and comfort.
去年我国旅游业的外汇收入达到了80亿美元。估计本世纪末，我国外汇 年收入可以达到120亿美元。
Last year China's tourist industry earned US$ 8 billion in foreign currency, and the figure
is expected to reach US$ 12 billion by the end of the century.
届时中国将跻身于世界上那些因旅游事业发达而收益的国家行列之中。
This will place China among those countries in the world benefiting from a
well-developed tourist industry.
中国很可能在即将来临的21世纪成为世界上少数几个最吸引游客的国家 之一。
China may have a very good chance of becoming one of the few most attractive global
destinations in the coming century.

融文化与自然景观于一体的泰山是中国四大名山中最负盛名的一座。
Mount Tai, a perfect combination of culture and natural landscape, is the best known
among the four renowned great mountains in China.
泰山地处山东省的中部，其巅峰位于泰安市北面，海拔1,545米。玉皇顶为峡谷和险峰所环绕，一阶石梯直通南天门。
The mountain is located in central Shandong Province. North of the city of Tai’an is
Mount Tai’s highest peak, Yuhuangding, which literally means “the Peak of Jade
Emperor”, rising to 1,545 meters above sea level. Yuhuangding stands over deep valleys
and above other perilous peaks. A staircase leads to the Heavenly Southern Gate.
登山远眺，山外有山，景外有景，令人赞叹不已。
Looking around in the distance, you will enjoy with involuntary admiration the
overpowering views of mountains beyond mountains and scenery beyond scenery.
山上那无以计数的奇石、清瀑、古松、庙宇、楼阁、石桥、高塔、殿堂，以及历代文人雅士和书法家留下的石刻碑文，令游客目不暇接，叹为观止。
The tourist will be marveled at the numerous grotesque rock formations, clear waterfalls,
ancient pine trees, temples, pavilions, bridges, towers and pagodas, and halls, as well as
ancient inscriptions carved in stones by well-known writers and calligraphers of various
dynasties.
tower 塔楼(建筑物或建筑物的一部分，相对它的宽度和长度而言非常的高)
pagoda 宝塔(一种远东的宗教建筑，尤指一种多层的佛塔，作为纪念塔或神龛而建立)
这里，每个季节都有它独特的魅力：春天，绿茵茵的山坡上，争奇斗艳的花朵到处可见。
Each season here has beauty: bright flowers in full bloom covering the green slopes in
spring;
夏天，泰山的雷暴雨堪称奇观。
spectacular summer thunderstorms which are rarely seen elsewhere;
秋天，枫树叶满山遍野，蔚蓝色的河水穿流而行。
blue rivers running across the mountains overlaid with red maple leaves in autumns;
冬天，雪盖群峰松披霜，景观素雅悲壮，别有一番情趣。
snow-capped mountains and frosted pine trees in winter that stage a quiet grandeur
spectacle of particular interest.
喜逢艳阳日，极目远眺，重峦叠嶂，尽收眼帘。
On a clear day one can see the peaks rising one after another.
但遇天阴时，环顾四周，茫茫大地，尽入云海。
When the sky is overcast, the horizon disappears into a sea of clouds.
泰山的日出与日落，闻名遐迩。
The mountain is most famous for its spectacular sunrise and sunset.
壮观的自然风景以及不可计数的历史名胜，激发了古代文人书法家，为之舞文弄墨，创作了无数佳作。泰山历来是艺术家和诗人的聚集地。
Its landscape and numerous historical sites have inspired many great works of ancient
writers and calligraphers, and has long been the preferred gathering place of artists and
poets.
早在殷商时期(公元前1766年—公元前1122年)，华夏祖先便已确立了东、南、西、北、中五个方位。
Dating back to the Yin and Shang periods (1766-1122 B. C.), Chinese forefathers
established five directions (north, south, east, west and center).
太阳初升的东方代表了冬去春来、万物繁衍的景象。位于中国东部沿海省份的泰山被视为吉祥之地。
The east, where the sun rises, represents life’s fertility with the end of winter and the
coming of spring. Mount Tai, located in a costal province in eastern China, has been
regarded as a propitious place.
古代帝王择泰山，奉以供品，祭祀天地，为国家的繁荣与祥和而祈祷。
Ancient emperors prayed for the country’s prosperity and peace by offering sacrifices to
Heaven and Earth on Mount Tai.
据历史记载，西周(公元前1122年—公元前771年)前已有72位君主登临泰山祭祀。
According to historical records, prior to the Western Zhou Dynasty (1122-771 B. C.), 72
monarchs climbed the mountain to perform sacrifices.

来北京的观光客自然都会游览故宫和长城，这是因为故宫和长城是举世闻名的旅游景点。而今天我却想向各位推荐北京第三大旅游场所，北京世界公园。
While the Palace Museum and the Great Wall, the two world-famous scenic spots, are
known to all a must tourist destination for people visiting Beijing, I’d like to introduce to
you the Beijing World Park, the third major tourist site in Beijing.
北京世界公园于90年代初在北京兴建，是北京的最新旅游景点。在这里，游客那种“一日游尽天下景”的梦想便可成真。
Completed in the early 90’s, the Beijing World Park boasts the newest scenic spot in
Beijing, and here the visitors may realize their dream of “touring around the world in a
day”.
北京世界公园是规模雄踞亚洲同类公园之冠，所收微塑复制品的数量也堪称亚洲之最。
The Beijing World Park is the largest park of its kind, with mini replicas on the largest
scale in Asia.
世界七大奇观以及50个国家的约100处历史名胜和自然景观均以微塑模型展出。
The 7 wonders of the world and some 100 famous historical and natural sights from 50
countries are on display in miniature.
占地面积46.7公顷的世界公园分为17处风景区，收集了亚洲、非洲、欧洲、南北美洲以及大洋洲景点。
The 46.7-hectare World Park features 17 scenic areas staging all the major tourist sites of
Asia, Africa, Europe, Americas and Oceania.
feature 特别展示、以……为特点(to give special attention to; display, publicize, or make
prominent)
The newspaper featured the story of the event. 报纸以显著地位报道那个事件。
游客可以在这里观赏凯旋门、埃菲尔铁塔、特洛伊木马、伦敦的塔桥、印度的泰吉玛哈陵（即泰姬陵）、比萨斜塔、大峡谷、悉尼歌剧院、美国自由女神像、长城等景物的复制品。
Here tourists can appreciate replicas of the Arc of Triumph, the Eiffel Tower, the wooden
Trojan horse, London’s Tower Bridge, the Taj Mahal of India, the Leaning Tower of Pisa,
Grand Canyon, Sydney Opera House, the US Statue of Liberty, the Great Wall, etc.
这里的旅游景观制作精巧、工艺精湛，其中大多为原作的精确复制品，用料均为白玉、大理石、上乘花岗岩或其他优质石料。
The exquisitely constructed scenic spots offer fine examples of excellent workmanship.
Most of them feature the exact replicas of the original, with white jade, marble, top-grade
granite and other superior quality stone.
例如，莫斯科的红场是以500万块比麻将牌还小的红砖铺就而成的，而埃及金字塔则以20万块大理石砌成。
For example, Moscow’s Red Square was constructed with 5 million red bricks smaller
than China’s mahjong pieces, and the Egyptian Pyramid was built with 200,000 pieces of
marble.
美国的科罗拉多河和大峡谷的微塑高达32米，一条“巨型瀑布”从16米的高处飞流直冲谷底。
The replica of the Colorado River and Grand Canyon in the United States stands 32
meters high, with a 16-meter-high “grand waterfall” plunging to the bottom.
公园的东北角有一条300米长的国际街。这条具有欧美建筑风格的国际街集餐饮、购物和娱乐于一体。
Located in the northeastern corner lies the 300-meter-long International Street with its
European and American architectural styles encompassing services of catering, shopping
and amusement.
游客可以在这里领略异国情调，品尝他乡风味，购买纪念礼品，参加各种娱乐活动。
Tourists can experience the obvious exotic atmosphere, taste the inviting foreign food,
purchase attractive souvenirs and enjoy a wide variety of recreational activities.
北京世界公园自开放以来已吸引了许多海内外游客前来观赏美景。
Since its opening to visitors, the Beijing World Park has attracted many tourists from
home and abroad with its splendid sights.
如果您在北京逗留的时间仅够您游览三个景点的话，那么您一定得把故宫、长城和世界公园作为您的最佳选择。
If you had time for only 3 places of tourist attraction in Beijing, your best choices would
certainly be the Palace Museum, the Great Wall and then the Beijing World Park.

第四单元 大会发言 Conference Address
第一篇 社会发展会议
Honorable Mr. Chairman,
Ladies and gentlemen,
The world today asks for global cooperation to fight a common war against poverty.
尊敬的主席先生，
女士们，先生们：
当今世界要求各国合作，共同向贫穷宣战。
The recent convening of the United Nations World Summit for Social Development in
Copenhagen bore witness to the need for the world community to pool their efforts to
fight poverty.
最近在哥本哈根召开的联合国社会发展世界首脑会议，已认识到国际社会携起手来迎战贫穷的必要性。
bear witness 作证、经历、作为……场景或地点
e. g. This old auditorium has born witness to many ceremonies. 这个古老的礼堂内举行过许多次典礼。
Poverty remains a major challenge facing the world today. United Nations statistics show
that 20% of the world’s population currently live below the poverty line.
贫穷是当今世界面临的一个主要问题。联合国的统计数字表明，占世界人口20%的人民仍然生活在贫困线以下。
In the past half century, many developing countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America
have achieved remarkable success in their economic and social development, especially
some newly industrialized nations arising in Asia and Latin America.
在过去的半个世纪里，亚洲、非洲、拉丁美洲的许多发展中国家在经济和社会发展方面取得了长足的进步，尤其是亚洲和拉丁美洲的一些新兴工业化国家，他们的进步更为显著。
Developing countries as a whole have reduced their economic disparity against the
developed ones, but the gap between the rich and the poor as well as between the
extremes of wealth and poverty in some developing countries have not fundamentally
improved.
虽然发展中国家作为一个整体，已缩短了与发达国家在经济上的差距，但是各国之间的贫富差异，以及一些发展中国家内部存在的贫富两极分化的问题，并未从根本上得以解决。
Last year, the per capita GNP of developed countries was US$ 16,610, whereas that of
developing countries was only US$ 950, or 5.7% of the former.
去年，发达国家的人均国民生产总值达到了16,610美元，而发展中国家的人均国民生产总值仅为950美元，只是前者的5.7%。
Specifically, the per capita GNP of Switzerland reached US$ 36,410, the highest level in
the world, whereas the per capita GNP of Mozambique, the poorest country, was only
US$ 80.
特别突出的是，瑞士人均国民生产总值高达36,410美元，居世界之首，而世界上最穷的国家莫桑比克，其人均国民生产总值仅为80美元而已。
20 years ago the United Nations defined 25 least developed countries, and that number
has increased to 48 today.
20年前，联合国确定的最不发达国家的数目为25个，而今天最不发达国家的数目已上升至48个。
A recent survey by the UN International Fund for Agricultural Development shows that in
114 developing countries, 1 billion people among the total 4 billion population live below
the poverty line, 40% more than what was reported in a similar survey conducted 40
years ago.
根据联合国农业发展国际基金会所作的一次调查，在114个发展中国家的40亿人口中，有10亿人口生活在贫困线以下，这比40年前作的一次类似调查所提供的数字还要高出40%。
Major reasons for the sustained poverty in some African and South Asian countries
involve the backward economic infrastructure, frequent natural disasters, too rapid
population growth, heavy debt burden, political turbulence and the chaos caused by war.
落后的经济基础设施、频繁的自然灾害、过快的人口增长、沉重的债务负担、政治上的动荡不安，以及战争带来的混乱局面，这些因素都是造成引起非洲和南亚国家持续贫困的主要原因。
Poverty, to a lesser extent, is also found in Western countries, such as the phenomena of a
widening gap between the rich and the poor, an increase in the number of people living
below the poverty line and serious unemployment.
西方国家同样存在着贫穷现象，只是程度没有发展中国家那么严重。西方国家的贫穷表现为日渐扩大的贫富差距，越来越多的人生活在贫困线下，以及严重的失业问题。
Relative poverty is an officially recognized phenomenon in Western countries.
西方国家存在着相对贫穷问题，这已是官方所承认的现象。
For example, a recent report issued by the Food and Nutrition Service under the US
Department of Agriculture reveals that more than 27 million Americans, or 10% of the US
population, rely on food stamps provided by the government.
例如，美国农业部属下的一份报告表明，270万以上的美国人，即10%的美国人，需要依赖政府发给的食品券度日。
Entering the 1990s, with the end of the Cold War, all peoples hope to stop turbulence and,
furthermore, to develop their economies and improve their living standards.
进入90年代后，随着冷战时代的结束，各国人民都希望结束动荡不安的局面，发展本国的经济，提高自身的生活水平。
Peace and development have become two major topics in today’s world.
和平与发展成了当今世界的两大主题。
As the economies internationalize, an international coordinating mechanism mediating
among developed countries has also been enhanced; and the United Nations, the World
Bank and other global organizations have played a positive role in coordinating
international economic order and in helping poor countries make economic and
technological progress.
随着各国经济的逐渐国际化，在发达国家之间起着中介作用的国际协调机构已经建立，发达国家与发展中国家之间的经济合作也得到了强化，联合国、世界银行和其他全球性组织在协调国际秩序，帮助穷国取得经济和技术进步方面，发挥了积极的作用。
Apparently, it has become the common desire and the general trend for all peoples in the
world to win peace and development while removing turbulence and poverty.
显然，结束动乱、消灭贫穷、赢得和平、争取发展，已成为世界各国人民的共同心愿，这是大势所趋。
Let us work together to make tomorrow a better day for all of us. Thank you, Mr.
Chairman!
让我们携起手来，共同建设美好的明天。谢谢主席先生！

女士们、先生们：
新年来临了，我们向着充满希望的21世纪又迈进了一步。
Ladies and gentlemen,
The new year is around the corner, bringing us a step closer to the promising 21st
century.
我谨向各位来宾致以节日的问候，并祝各位新年身体健康，万事如意！
I would like to extend my New Year’s greetings to all my guests and wish every one good
health and all the best in the new year!
维护世界和平、促进共同繁荣仍然是今天全世界人民面临的最重要的任务。
Safeguarding world peace and promoting mutual prosperity are still the most important
tasks facing the people across the planet.
中国同许多国家一样，仍将继续为此做出努力。
China, like many other nations, will continue to work towards these ends.
在中国所有的边界线上，昔日的沉默和相互间的猜忌已被融洽的气氛和繁荣的景象所取代。
All along China’s frontiers, the hostile silence and suspicion of the past have given way to
harmony and prosperity.
边界贸易虽然只占我国贸易总额的一小部分，但却清楚地表明中国的改革与开放已从沿海省份深入到中国的内地。
While representing only a small part of China’s total foreign trade volume, the rapid
development of border trade has clearly shown that the practice of reforming and
opening to the outside world is spreading in China from the coastal provinces further into
the country’s interior.
中国领导人决定开放更多的地区，建立新的贸易口岸，使我们的邻国更加便于同中国进行商品贸易和服务交流。
The leaders in Beijing have decided to open many formerly closed areas to the world,
establish new trading ports and make it easier for China’s neighbors to exchange goods
and services.
古代丝绸之路正在重现昔日的繁荣景象，并已成为中外合作的新桥梁。
The ancient Silk Road is now regaining its former prosperity and has become a new
bridge for economic cooperation with other nations.
由于合作只有在平等互利的基础上才会有效，因此新的开放不仅会改善中国边界的状况，而且也会给其他国家带来巨大的好处。
Since cooperation can work only on the basis of equality and mutual benefit, this new
opening will not only help improve the situation on China’s frontiers but benefit
tremendously many other countries as well.
发展边界贸易只是中国在奉行和平与共同繁荣政策中所取得的一个小成果。
The development of border trade is but one minor success in China’s policy of peace and
common prosperity.
发展友好关系，成为其他亚洲国家和世界各国的友邦，历来是中国外交政策中不可分割的一部分。
It has always been an integral part of China’s foreign policy to develop friendly ties and be
a friendly neighbor to the rest of Asia and the world.
过去的十年是这项政策延续的见证。
The past decade has witnessed the continuation of this policy.
通过与其他国家领导人的互访，传统友谊得到了加强，双边关系得到了改善，与一些国家正常的外交关系得到了恢复。
Through an exchange of visits with other state leaders, traditional friendship has been
consolidated and bilateral relations have improved, and with some countries normal
diplomatic ties have been resumed.
至于边界争端问题，许多矛盾已经得到和平解决，其他问题，也通过和平谈判取得了很大的进展。
As for the territorial border disputes, many of them have been peacefully resolved and
other matters of mutual concern have made considerable headway as a result of peaceful
negotiation.
中国同其周边国家的关系比以往任何时候都好。
China’s relations with its neighboring countries are better than ever before.
这无论对中国人民还是对这些国家的人民来说，无疑都是一件大好事，因为他们可以有一个安全的环境，以保障创建更美好的生活。
This is undoubtedly in the best interests of the Chinese people and of the peoples in these
countries, so that they may have a safe environment in which they will go about building
better lives.
在新的一年里，中国各族人民将继续团结在一起。
In the new year, the Chinese people of all nationalities will remain united.
中国将继续坚持改革开放的政策，建设社会主义的市场经济，竭尽全力提高人民的生活水平。
Adhering to the policy of reform and opening and to the ideal of building a socialist
market economy, China will make every effort to develop and improve the lives of her
citizens.
与此同时，中国作为维护世界和平的一股强大力量，将继续为世界和平与发展做出贡献。谢谢各位！
At the same time, as a powerful force in maintaining world peace, China will continue to
make her contributions to world peace and development. Thank you.

课外练习 Passage One
Ladies and gentlemen,
The first half of this decade has witnessed tremendous changes in world affairs: problems
between nations continue to demand attention, but a new array of global problems has
become the distinguished feature of our time.
女士们，先生们：
90年代的前5年是世界事务中充满了变化的5年，各国之间的矛盾仍然需要得到人们的重视，而一系列全球性的新问题则成了我们这个时代的特征。
demand 要求迫切、强烈要求
e. g. demand an investigation into the murder 强烈要求调查这起谋杀案
demanding that he leave immediately 强令他立即离开；
This work demands your patience. 这项工作需要你的耐心。
array 一串、一列、大量
e. g. an array of royal jewels 一串价值连城的首饰
an array of heavily armed troops 一大批全副武装的部队
an array of spare parts 一大批零配件
We have yet to grasp fully the implications of this change, let alone to devise solutions to
the new problems.
我们需要充分理解这一变化的含义，更不用说需要寻求解决新问题的良方。
let alone 更不用说
e. g. He hasn't enough money for food, let alone amusements. 他连吃饭钱都不够，就更不用说玩的钱了。
Nonetheless, we are guided by an emerging understanding that the situation of women is
central.
然而，我们越来越清楚地认识到，妇女的状况是一个中心问题。
It is becoming increasingly clear that until the rights and full potential of women are
achieved, enduring solutions to many of the world’s most serious social, economic and
political problems are unlikely to come about.
如果妇女不能享受应有的权利，不能充分发挥她们的潜力，那么世界上许多最严重的社会、经济和政治问题便不可能得到长期的解决，这一点已越来越清楚地摆在我们面前。
enduring 持久的
e. g. enduring peace 持久的和平
enduring friendship 永恒的友谊
an article of enduring significance 意义深远的文章
At the same time, we are seeing that efforts to improve the lives of the women of the
world offer in many cases the most immediately efficacious means of changing entire
societies for the better.
与此同时，我们还看到，提高世界妇女生活水平的努力，在许多方面为改善整个社会状况提供了一种见效最快的方法。
efficacious 有效的、灵验的
e. g . efficacious against fever 有退热的功效
Vaccination for smallpox is efficacious. 种牛痘防天花是有效的。
means (用作单数) 方法、方式、手段
e. g. a means to an end 达到目的的方法
The local army men helped the victims of the earthquake by every means at their
command. 当地的军人用一切可能办法帮助地震灾民。
The advancement of women has thus taken on an even greater urgency.
因此，提高妇女地位具有更为强烈的紧迫性。
It is of the utmost importance that the international community should take full
advantage of the opportunity offered by the upcoming World Conference of Women in
Beijing and work together in the grand task of improving the situation of women across
the world.

Ladies and gentlemen,
I would like to take this opportunity to report on the development of recent European
Union meetings, at which the EU made great strides in developing Euro-Chinese
relations by outlining a new policy for future dealings with China in politics, trade and
economy.
女士们，先生们，
我愿借此机会向各位通报一下欧洲联盟的一项新政策。欧盟最近规划了一项关于今后如何在政治、贸易和经济方面同中国进行交往的政策，这表明欧盟在发展欧中关系方面取得了长足的进步。
The new policy calls for increasing political dialogues, promoting economic and trade
relations, enhancing cooperation with China and improving the image of Europe in
China.
这项新政策要求增加欧盟同中国的政治对话，促进欧盟同中国经贸关系的发展，加强欧盟同中国的合作，改善欧洲在中国的形象。

issues of mutual concern.
特别有意义的是，欧盟与中国就共同关心的问题经常交换意见的做法，将形成一种制度。
institution 制度、习俗
institutionalize 使……制度化
On trade, the EU will conduct dialogues with China on monetary and financial policies,
encourage China to join the World Trade Organization and other international economic
organizations, and provide service to European companies that are willing to enter the
Chinese market.
在贸易方面，欧盟将与中国进行对话，讨论货币政策和金融政策，鼓励中国加入世界贸易组织和其他国际经济组织，并且向意欲进入中国市场的欧洲公司提供服务。
Mutual cooperation includes such promising fields as legal construction, technical and
professional training, intellectual property protection, poverty alleviation, environmental
protection and information networking.
我们的合作前景广阔，其中包括法律建设、专业技术培训、知识产权保护、消除贫穷、环境
保护和信息联网等方面的合作。
The EU has formed a positive judgment on China’s overall situation and the country’s
role in international affairs.
欧盟对中国的整体状况及其在国际事务中发挥的作用已有积极的评估。
We highly value China’s achievements over the past decade, and are aware that China is
undergoing a profound and dramatic transformation in its socio-economic development,
a process in which the EU can play a major role.
我们高度重视中国在过去十年里所取得的成就，我们注意到中国在其社会经济发展过程中正在经历一场深刻的、戏剧性的变革，我们相信欧盟可以在这场变革中发挥主要作用。
China is one of the fastest growing economies in the world today.
中国是当今世界经济发展最快的国家之一。
economy 国家或地区的经济体系
e. g. advanced economy (工业)发达(国家)的经济
The development of our cooperative relations with China is a wise and necessary
approach, because a strong and stable China agrees with the strategic interests of the EU.
一个强大的、稳定的中国，符合欧盟的战略利益，所以发展同中国的合作关系是明智的，是很有必要的。
Here I would like to emphasize that this policy did not come as a surprise.
我希望在这里强调指出，欧盟制定的这项政策并非出于意外。
Recently, the EU adopted a new strategy toward Asia at a summit meeting in Germany.
最近欧盟在德国召开的一次首脑会议上对亚洲采纳了一种新的战略方针。
That strategy admitted that Asia is at a stage of economic takeoff and that Europe is
lagging behind the United States and Japan in developing ties with Asia.
根据这一战略方针，欧盟认识到亚洲正处在起飞阶段，而欧洲在发展与亚洲的关系方面已落后于美国和日本。
It called for stronger political dialogues with Asia and an enhanced European presence in
the region.
新的战略方针要求我们加强同亚洲的政治对话，强化欧洲在这一地区的存在。
The EU has realized that it can no longer be satisfied with simple statements, but should
place more emphasis on real action.
欧盟已意识到，它再也不能满足于发表简单的口头演说，而应采取更多的实际行动。
This determination can be seen clearly in our new policy.
欧盟的这一决心已清楚地反映在所制定的新政策上。
For example, the EU intends to increase the number of meetings at the ministerial and
abassordorial level to bring China into the international community and to cooperate
with it in resolving regional disputes.
例如，欧盟打算增加同中国举行部长级和大使级会谈的次数，使中国回到国际社会中来，在解决地区争端中与中国合作。
It also plans to create a China Export Group to facilitate the development of joint projects
between Europe and China, and to open a Business Council Office in Beijing.
此外，欧盟计划建立一个对华出口集团，以促进欧中合作项目的发展，并打算在北京设立一个商务办事处。
At any rate, the new strategy has brightened up the outlook for Euro-Chinese relations.
总之，欧盟的新战略给欧中关系的前景添上了一层灿烂的光辉。
With that, I would like to stop here. Thank you for your attention.
我的报告到此为止，谢谢各位。
大业，有着极其重要的意义。

各位来宾，
女士们，先生们：
我受上海市长的委托，以“上海城市建设”为题进行发言。
Distinguished guests,
Ladies and gentlemen,
On behalf of the Mayor of Shanghai, I would like to address the topic of “Shanghai Urban
Construction”.
多年来上海被视为远东地区的最大城市，而长期来与其规模不相协调的城市基础设施，阻碍了上海经济的快速发展。
For many years, Shanghai has ranked as the largest metropolis in the Far East. However,
for quite a long period, inadequate urban infrastructure hindered its rapid economic
development.
自1984年以来，上海市政府贯彻了重点建设城市基础设施、交通、电信和能源设施的战略方针。
Since 1984, the Shanghai municipal government has implemented a strategy focusing on
the construction of infrastructure, communication, telecommunication and energy
facilities.
为此，市政府设立了专门机构，负责主要工程项目。
For this purpose, the municipal government established an office to take charge of the
major engineering projects.
近年来，上海市在基础设施建设中投入了占国民生产总值10%和固定资产投资40%的资金。
In recent years, the city has pumped some 10% of its GNP and 40% of its total fixed assets
investment into the construction of the city’s infrastructure.
新建的连接浦东与浦西的高架快速干道，缩小了落后的基础设施与日益扩大了的城市作用之间的差距。
The new overhead expressway which links Pudong and Puxi has narrowed the gap
between the inadequate infrastructure and the expansion of the city’s functions.
这一整体规划为工业调整打下了坚实的基础，改善了投资环境，提高了人民的生活水平。
The overall program has provided a solid foundation for industrial readjustment, and the
improvement of the investment environment and the lives of the people.
上海正在探索建设完善的城市交通网络和筹集资金的新机制。
Shanghai is now exploring new mechanisms for the construction of its urban
communications and fund-raising.
我们准备尽快引入一种新的体制，来筹集、使用和偿还用于城市建设和国有资产管理的专项资金。
We intend to introduce, as soon as possible, a system to raise, use and repay money
independently for urban construction and the management of state-owned assets.
我们计划改变投资方法，实行土地差价，发行城市建设债券和股票，引进外资。
We plan to change our method of investment by instituting land price differentials,
issuing urban construction bonds and shares, and introducing foreign capital.
我们将按照从计划经济转为市场经济的要求，寻求更多的渠道继续进行城市建设。
We will act in accordance with the requirement for shifting from a planned economy to a
market economy, and will seek more channels to continue our urban construction
program.
我们竭诚欢迎海内外各界朋友来上海投资。
We warmly welcome friends of various circles, both at home and abroad, to invest in

Australia is the world’s smallest continent and largest island, a relatively young nation
established in an ancient land.
澳大利亚既是世界上最小的大陆洲，也是世界上最大的海洋岛。澳大利亚是建立在这片古老的土地上的一个较为年轻的国家。
For years this land remained barren and isolated. Its development represents man’s
triumph over remoteness and a harsh landscape.
这片土地多年以来荒芜贫瘠，与世隔绝。澳大利亚的发展，是人类战胜遥远和荒芜的成果。
Australia has a land area of 7,682,300 square kilometers and its coastline is 36,735

lived on the continent for 40,000 to 60,000 years. They were also its sole human
inhabitants until two centuries ago.
澳大利亚的原始居民，即澳洲土著人，被普遍认为已在澳洲大陆栖居了4万至6万年之久。

Shanghai, whose name literally means “a port on the sea”, is one of the world’s largest
seaports and China’s major industrial and commercial center.
随着经济改革的日益深化，这座昔日被誉为远东金融、经济和贸易中心的城市正在为促进长江流域的经济发展起着龙头作用。
With its deepening economic reform, this city, formerly crowned as the financial,
economic and trade hub of the Far East, is playing a leading role in boosting economic
development in the Yangtze River valley.
与此同时，上海以她独特的风韵吸引着数以万计的海内外游客。
Meanwhile, Shanghai has attracted millions of Chinese and overseas tourists with its
unique charm.
作为一座国际大都市，上海的国际航班可直达曼谷、新加坡、香港、东京、大坂、名古屋、
长崎、广岛、布鲁塞尔、法兰克福、纽约、洛杉矶、旧金山、芝加哥、多伦多、温哥华、悉尼等20多个城市。

world, such as Bangkok, Singapore, Hong Kong, Seoul, Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya, Nagasaki,
Hiroshima, Brussels, Frankfurt, New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, Toronto,
Vancouver and Sydney.
以东方明珠闻名于世的上海是中国通向世界的东大门。
Known to the world as the Oriental Pearl, Shanghai is China’s major eastern gate to the
outside world.
早在唐宋时期上海便是中国的一座外贸重镇，与日本、朝鲜和东南亚各国之间有着商贸关系。
Back in the Tang and Song dynasties, Shanghai functioned as China’s key foreign trade
port and had mercantile ties with Japan, Korea and Southeast Asia.
到了清朝乾隆、嘉庆年间，上海成了中国东南部的大都市和海运中心。那时，申城里万商云集，浦江上千帆斗艳，好一派繁荣兴旺的景象！
During the reigns of Emperor Qianlong (1736-1796) and Emperor Jiaqing (1796-1821) of
the Qing Dynasty, Shanghai turned into a navigation hub and metropolis in southeast
China which attracted numerous merchants and countless ships to the Huangpu River.
What a spectacle of prosperity during that period!
自本世纪50年代起，上海取代广州，成了中国的外贸中心，直至今日仍保持着这一龙头地位。
In the 1950s, Shanghai replaced Guangzhou as China’s foreign trade center and has
maintained this lead ever since.
今天，这座著名的国际港市已发展成为中国重要的经济、金融、贸易、科技、信息和文化中心。
Today, this well-known international port has developed into China’s important center of
economy, finance, trade, science and technology, information and culture.
上海作为中国的一座历史文化名城，有70余处国家级和市级重点历史文物保护单位，充分展示了特色鲜明的海派文化。
One of the noted historic and cultural cities in China, Shanghai has over 70 sites of
historical interest and cultural relics under the protection of the state and the municipal
governments, which best represent the distinctive characteristics of Shanghai regional
culture.
上海是美食家的乐园，全市数以千计的餐馆汇集了全国各大名菜，如鲁菜、川菜、奥菜、扬州菜、闽菜等，各种风味，一应俱全。
Meanwhile, Shanghai is a cherished paradise for gourmets, who may find themselves
frequenting the many thousands of restaurants that serve a complete list of China’s major
well-known cuisines, such as Shandong, Sichuan, Cantonese, Yangzhou, Fujian traditions,
to name just a few.
世界各地的风味烹调，如法、俄、意、英、德、日、韩、印等外邦菜，比比皆是，各领风骚。
In addition, one may easily find his way to those competing foreign food restaurants
featuring French, Russian, Italian, British, German, Spanish, Japanese, Korean and
Indian cuisines.
清真人士和素食者，自有去处，各得其所。
On top of that, authentic Muslim and vegetarian foods may very well satisfy the palate of
those religious enthusiasts and interested individuals.
享有“万国建筑博览会”之美誉的上海，在外滩和市内各处都有风格各异的建筑物。
Known as the “Exhibition of the World’s Architecture”, Shanghai has a complete
collection of buildings with different architectural styles along the Bund and elsewhere in
the city.
东方明珠广播电视塔，相伴电视塔左右的雄伟的南浦大桥和扬浦大桥，以及连接两桥的内环线高架交通干道，使申城旧貌换新颜。
The Oriental Pearl Radio and Television Tower, accompanied on each side by the
magnificent Nanpu and Yangpu suspension bridges, which are connected by the city’s
elevated inner beltway, brings this city a completely new look.
上海是旅游者的天地。上海有众多的休闲度假胜地，如佘山国家旅游度假区、淀山湖风景区、太阳岛度假区、环球乐园、梦幻世界、哥士摩乐园以及野生动物园。
Shanghai is also a tourist destination which boasts attractions and holiday resorts,
including Sheshan State Holiday Resort, Dianshan Lake Scenic Area, the Sunshine Island
Holiday Resort, the World Garden, the Dreamland, the Cosmo Wonderland and the
Wildlife Zoo.
上海每年都要举行多姿多彩的旅游节，其中包括除夕夜的龙华迎新撞钟活动、春天的龙华庙会、南汇桃花节和国际茶文化节，金秋时节的上海黄浦旅游节和上海桂花节。
Every year Shanghai hosts a variety of tourist festivals, such as the New Year’s Greeting
Bell Toll at the Longhua Temple Fair, the Peach Blossom Festival in Nanhui County and
the International Tea Culture Festival in spring, Shanghai Huangpu Tourist Festival in
autumn and Shanghai Sweet Osmanthus Festival.
这些海派气息浓郁而又十分迷人的节庆活动，引来无数海外旅客争相参与。
These fascinating festivals with distinctive Shanghai regional culture attract numerous
participating tourists from both home and abroad.
黄浦江东崖的浦东新区，其近年来的崛起将上海推上了中国改革与对外开放的龙头地位。
The rise of Pudong New Area in recent years, a new development project which is located
on the east side of the city’s Huangpu River, has pushed Shanghai onto the stage on
which it is playing a pioneering role in China’s national program of reform and opening to
the outside world.
随着浦江彼岸一座充满活力的现代化经济城市的初具规模，上海成为世界经济、金融和贸易中心已属必然。
With an up-to-date and vital economic city taking shape on the other side of the Huangpu,
shanghai will inevitably assume the role of an international economic, financial and trade
center.

课外练习 Passage One
Ladies and gentlemen,
My topic today is Education in Australia.
女士们、先生们：
我今天的题目是“澳大利亚的教育”。
In Australia, each state and territory has its own primary and secondary education system.
Standards, however, are high and reasonably uniform.
在澳大利亚，各州和各地区都有自己的小学和中学教育制度。虽然各地教育并不雷同，但是它们所制定的教育标准是高的，教育标准和一致性也是合情合理的。
Within each state and territory system there are two main types of school—government
and non-government.
有各州和各地区，学校主要分为政府办和民办两大类。
In government schools, attended by about two thirds of children, tuition is free.
约三分之二的儿童上政府办的学校，这类学校是免费的。
About three quarters of the non-government schools are Catholic. Most non-government
schools charge fees.
约四分之三的民办学校属于天主教学校。大多数民办学校都要收取学费。
Although the states and territories are responsible for all education, the federal
Government provides most funding for higher education.
虽然各州和地区都要对各层次的教育负责，但联邦政府则对拨款最多。
In 1989, it set up a system under which undergraduate and postgraduate students must
make a financial contribution toward the cost of their study.
联邦政府于1989年规定，不论在校大学生还是研究生，都必须负担部分学习费用。
Throughout Australia, schooling is compulsory between the age of 6 and 15 years.
在澳大利亚各地，6岁至15岁的学龄儿童都必须接受义务教育。
However, most children begin school earlier than the law requires, usually in pre-schools
run by the same organizations that administer the mainstream schools.
然而大部分儿童不到法定年龄便上学了。他们通常上那些由主管正规学校的教育机构所办的学龄前儿童学校。
Primary schooling lasts 6 to 7 years and the curriculum is similar across the nation.
Studies begin with basic language and mathematics, and the fundamentals of inquire,
and social, health and creative skills are taught.
小学教育的学制为6至7年，全国各地的小学有着相同的课程设置，学习内容始于基础语文和数学，学生还要学习知识探索与原理、社会知识、卫生常识和创造技能。
Before reaching secondary level, children are learning English, mathematics, elementary
science, social studies, music, art, craft and physical education.
在进入中学之前，孩子们需要学习基础科学、社会学、音乐、美术、手工和体育。
Optional subjects such as religion, languages and music are common.
常见的选修课包括宗教、外语和音乐。
Secondary schooling begins at year 7 or 8 and goes typically to year 12.
中学教育从第7年或第8年开始，一般待续到第12年为止。
More advanced levels of the same subjects are taught, plus technical and commercial
ones.
中学的科目与小学的科目基本相同，但难度提高了。此外还增加了一些技术和商业类的课程。
The typical secondary school is the co-educational comprehensive or multi-purpose high
school, offering a wide range of subjects.
典型的中学属男女同校、接受综合性或复合性教育的学校，这类学校所设置的科目较多。
Some states have separate high schools and colleges specializing in technical, agricultural,
commercial and other fields.
有些州还设有专门学习技术、农业、商业或其他知识的中学和专科院校。
Their curriculums include general academic subjects and practical training.
这类学校的课程设置包括普通科目，同时也向学生提供实习的机会。
Major examinations or other formal assessments occur after 3 or 4 years of high school
and, at this point, most students are old enough to leave the system.
主要考试或其他正式学业评定在经过中学学习的3至4年后举行，这时大多数学生已到可以离校的年龄。
Another 2 years’ study is available, however, and many keep going to the end—year 12.
当然，学生也可以继续留校学习两年，到第12年毕业。
In most parts of Australia, certificates are issued at each of these levels, called commonly
the School Certificate (at or about year 10) and the higher School Certificate (year 12).
在澳大利亚的大部分学校，学生在完成每个阶段的学习后都可以得到学校颁发的证书，通常称为“初中证书”（在第10年或临近第10年时颁发）和“高中证书”（在第12年或临近第12年时颁发）。
The Higher School Certificate is usually required for university or higher education
college entry.
高中证书通常为大学入学所必备。
Post-secondary education in Australia occurs in universities and colleges of technical and
further education called TAFEs.
中学后的教育，或在大学，或在被称之为“TAFE”的技术进修学院进行。
Most of Australia’s approximately one million TAFE students attend state-administered
colleges.
澳大利亚约有100万名TAFE学生，其中大部分学生在州立学院学习。
The vast majority study part-time.
绝大部分学生为非全日制学生。
All major skills in a wide range of industrial, commercial, artistic and domestic
occupations are covered.
技术进修学院提供各种主要职业培训、职业范围广泛，包括工业、商业、艺术、家政等方面。
Most universities also offer non-degree continuing-education programs.
大部分综合性大学也设有非学位的继续教育课程。
The entire system is matched by correspondence courses for students prevented by illness,
disability or residential isolation from attending school.
为了满足因疾病、伤残、或居住偏远等缘故而无法上学的学生的求学要求，澳大利亚的教育体制有一套与正规教育相匹配的函授课程。
There are also “schools of the air”, which use two-way radio network to provide
“classroom” experience to students in isolated places.
另外还有“空中学校”，通过双向无线电传播网络向居住在偏远地区的学生提供身临其境的“课堂”教育。
In some states, children living too far from a secondary school to travel daily may live in
government funded or subsidized hostels.
有些州，家居远离学校、每日上学不便的中学生可以寄宿在由政府资助或补贴的学生宿舍。
Special educational services are provided to integrate into classrooms children with
disabilities attending special and mainstream schools. They are designed to accommodate
the special needs of children with intellectual, physical, sensory, emotional, social or
learning disabilities.
为了使残疾儿童也能在特殊学校或正规学校接受教育，学校配备了相应的特殊教育服务项目，以满足那些在身体、感官、情绪、社交、学习等方面有缺陷的儿童的特殊需要。
There is a nationwide school program designed to increase students’ sensitivity to the
population’s multicultural background and to help ethnic communities maintain their
languages and culture.
由于澳大利亚人民有着各种不同的文化背景，所以全国各地的学校都制定了相关的教育计划，以提高学生对这种多种文化共存的状况的认识，帮助少数民族保留自己的语言，保持自己的文化传统。
Students from non-English speaking backgrounds are helped to developed their English
to enhance their equality of opportunity in education and participation in society.
来自非英语国家的学生可以得到帮助，使他们提高自己的英语水平，以便他们在受教育和参与社会活动时享有与他人同等的机会。
Educational material developed under federal initiatives is available to schools to meet
such language needs.
为了满足学生提高英语能力的需要，有关人士有联邦政府的积极创导下，编写了一些专门教材。
I’d like to stop here and wish to take your questions.
我先介绍到此，下面请各位提问。

第二篇 上海外国语学校
各位来宾：
欢迎各位参观上海外国语学校。在来宾们参观我校之前，请允许我简要地介绍一下我校的概况。
Distinguished guests,
Welcome to Shanghai Foreign Language School. Before you start to look around, I would
like to give you a brief account of our school.
我校创办于1963年，隶属上海外国语大学，是全国最早创建的几所外国语学校之一。
Founded in 1963 as one of China’s earliest foreign language schools of its kind, the
Shanghai Foreign Language School is a full-time boarding school affiliated to Shanghai
International Studies University.
这所具有外语专业性教育的全日制寄宿学校，是由国家教委和上海市教委双重领导的一所全科类重点中学。
As a key middle school supervised jointly by administrations of the State Education
Commission and Shanghai Municipal Education Commission, our school features strong
foreign language programs, in addition to a complete syllabus with normal academic
subjects which are required of all regular middle schools.
学校有一支优秀的教师队伍，现有35个班级，1300多名在校生。
Staffed with an excellent faculty, this school has a current enrollment of over 1,300
students, studying in 35 classes at different grades.
建校以来，学校以培养外语水平较高、其它文化知识较好的毕业生为目标，坚持“加强基础、发展智力、培养能力”的教学方针，做到“办学有特色，教学有特点，学生有特长”，得到了国家教委和教育界的肯定，在国内外享有较高的声誉。
Since its establishment, the school has always geared itself toward the objective of
bringing up students with excellence in foreign language proficiency as well as in other
academic subjects. Over the years, this school has persistently adhered to the school’s
educational policy of “strengthening students’ academic foundation, cultivating students’
intellectual aptitude and developing students’ potential talent.” Its long-established
practice of “ensuring special accomplishments in school administration, teaching
methodology and student learning” is favorably recognized by the State Education
Commission and education specialists. And consequently, our school enjoys a good
reputation both at home and abroad.
学校开设英、德、法、日、俄等5个语种，各语种都聘有外籍专家任教。
We offer 5 foreign language programs: English, German, French, Japanese and Russian.
The faculty of each foreign language program is joined by native speakers with teaching
qualifications.
学校多方面为学生学好外语创造良好的条件。
The school goes all out to provide its students with an environment effective for foreign
language learning.
学校还开设多种选修课、第二外语课，帮助学生扩大知识面，发展个性特长，陶冶情操，保证学生在德、智、体、美、劳诸方面全面发展。
On top of the regular, required subjects, we also offer a number of elective courses. In
addition, students may, as they wish, choose to learn a second foreign language. These
