American work ethic is more individual-oriented. We often value the results and accomplishments of work more than its process./If I am not mistaken, the traditional Chinese work ethic is based on Confucianism, which stresses the benefit of communal harmony rather than individual freedom./Its really very hard to say which is better because if the cultural differences.

Such cultural differences arise from a different in region, race, history, environment and in the level of social and economic development./Here are some examples. We American emphasize efficiency, competition and originality, while your management gives priority to careful planning and encourages close cooperation./In American schools, discussion is given top priority and seminar is the usual way of class.

Its very interesting to us.女士們，先生們，我在此已經(jīng)生活了五年，我看到了許多文化差異。這種文化差異是由地獄、種族、歷史和環(huán)境的差異造成的，也是由社會、經(jīng)濟發(fā)展水平的差異造成的。以下是一些例子。我們美國人強調(diào)效率、競爭和獨創(chuàng)性，而你們的管理則將嚴(yán)格規(guī)劃放在首位，鼓勵（團員成員之間的）密切合作。在美國學(xué)校，討論享有至高無上的地位，討論就是課堂教學(xué)的主旋律。具有靈活應(yīng)變才能的教師被視為優(yōu)秀、受學(xué)生歡迎的教師。而中國教師喜歡講課，喜歡考試，花許多時間去備課，編寫千篇一律的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)教案。在我們眼里，這太有意思了。Passage 2Ladies and Gentlemen, the world today is facing a serious problem of poverty in some areas. We must refocus our attention, and resources, on the places and people that are economically being left behind./As we do, we must bear in mind that none are more committed to ending poverty than the poor themselves. Often, all they lack is the guidance and the tools to get rid of poverty./Therefore, it requires all citizens to actively participate in policy-making, and government to become more accountable to their citizens in their efforts to achieve their goals./Today, we join hands with the poor in a collective effort. This is a close and extensive cooperation which brings together civil society, the private sectors, and individuals around the world.女士們、先生們：當(dāng)今世界一些地區(qū)正面臨著嚴(yán)重的貧窮問題。我們必須重新將資源和注意力更加集中地投向那些經(jīng)濟落后的地區(qū)和人們。此外，我們必須牢記，世界上的貧窮人們自己比任何人都想消除貧困。只是他們往往缺乏必要的消除貧困的指導(dǎo)和方式方法。因此，我們要鼓勵公民積極參與政策制定，還需要各國政府采取對公民更加負(fù)責(zé)任的態(tài)度，以實現(xiàn)他們的奮斗目標(biāo)。今天，我們和貧困人們共同攜手，這是一種緊密而又廣泛的合作。它將使全世界的公民社會，私營企業(yè)以及個人團結(jié)在一起。Part BPassage 1現(xiàn)在我來介紹一下中國的世界文化遺產(chǎn)。中國是一個古老而又文明的國家，有悠久的歷史、燦爛的文化、壯麗的山河。/在中國的國土上，自然與地理環(huán)境多姿多彩，東西南北風(fēng)光迥異，良好的地理環(huán)境造就了無數(shù)的天然名勝。/漫長的歷史，為中華民族留下了豐厚而珍貴的文化遺產(chǎn)和自然遺產(chǎn)，它不僅屬于中華民族，也是全人類的寶貴財富。/目前這些文化和自然遺產(chǎn)正日益受到破壞的威脅，主要是因為年代久遠(yuǎn)所致，同時也有些人為因素。這些都應(yīng)該引起我們的高度重視。/Now, Id like to give you a brief introduction to the World Heritage Sites in China. China is a country with an age-old history, a brilliant civilization, and magnificent landscapes./On this land, China enjoys diverse and beautiful natural and geographical conditions, and landscape with the varied features of north, east, south, and west. Such excellent geographical conditions have produced many natural scenic spots./The rich and precious cultural and heritages left by Chinas long history are assets for both the Chinese nation and the rest of the world./Today, however, these cultural and natural heritages are threatened by the increasing damages mainly caused by their own old age and some by man-made damage, to which we should pay high attention./Passage 2體育運動是人類的共同語言，是促進(jìn)和平與發(fā)展的重要因素。自遠(yuǎn)古時代起，體育運動就已超越種族、膚色、文化的差異。/體育運動承載著人類對和平美好世界的向往與追求。誕生于兩千多年前的奧林匹克精神，就是這一追求的具體體現(xiàn)。/奧林匹克理想是人類不斷的追求，體育運動和體育教育則是實現(xiàn)這一追求的具體實踐。/體育運動不僅讓我們擁有強健的體魄，更讓我們學(xué)會溝通、合作和尊重他人，也是不同文明和價值觀之間加強聯(lián)系的重要媒介。Being a common language of humanity, sport is an important factor in the promotion of peace and development. Ever since ancient times, sport has transcended differences in race, color and culture./Sport has given expression to humanitys aspirations for and pursuit of a peaceful and better world, as evidenced in the Olympic spirit that came into being more the 2,000 years ago./Sport and physical education are activities undertaken in humanitys ceaseless pursuit of the Olympic ideal./Sport not only builds ones physique, but also teaches communications, cooperation, respect for others. It is also an important medium for strengthening the ties among different civilization and values./(200909)口語題Topic: Can shopping vouchers increase consumption?Questions for Reference:1. To stimulate consumption, which is more effective, tax reduction or shopping vouchers?2. What are the major purposes of issuing shopping vouchers?3. In what way can the shopping vouchers best be distributes? Shall every citizen be given the same amount of shopping vouchers or should the vouchers be limited to the lower-income people only?口譯題Part APassage 1The whole world has focused its attention on China, an oriental country that still appears mysterious to many people in the west. China is providing the greatest fascination in the 21st century./Since the Second World War, countries like Britain and Germany have had major achievements and minor problems, while Southeast Asia has had major problems and minor achievements./China, though, is experiencing both major achievements and major problems. I do believe the tough line on population control has been a great contribution to humanity on an international level./Im positive that China will definitely become an economic superpower in the not too distant future and will play an irreplaceable role in promoting economic prosperity in the world./全世界的注意力都集中在中國這個對許多西方人士來說依舊十分神秘的國家。中國是21世紀(jì)最具有吸引力的國家。/自從第二次世界大戰(zhàn)以來，英國和德國這樣的國家取得了巨大成就，遇到了小問題。東南亞遇到了大問題，取得了小成就。/而中國既取得了大成就，也面臨大問題。我確實相信，中國在人口控制方面采取的強硬路線（從全球來說我）為人類做出了巨大貢獻(xiàn)。/我相信，中國一定會在不遠(yuǎn)的將來成為經(jīng)濟超級大國，在促進(jìn)世界的經(jīng)濟繁榮方面發(fā)揮不可替代的作用。Passage 2Ladies and Gentlemen, I am delighted to have the opportunity to address you at the opening of the 7th China International High-tech Expo. In the last two years I have witnessed tremendous advances across China, particularly in hi-tech manufacturing sectors, in science and research./Britain is well placed to enable China to develop even faster in these areas. Hi-tech manufacturing industries are global and they are important to us all./British companies and research institutions can make a strong contribution to Chinas success in hi-tech sectors. Were specially interested in such field as Information and Communications Technology, biotechnology and many more,/China has more world-class companies and they go out into the international markets. Many of them are attracted to Britain. We now have over 300 Chinese companies operating profitably and successfully in Britain.女士們、先生們，我很高興能有機會在“第七屆中國國際高科技產(chǎn)業(yè)博覽會”的開幕式上發(fā)言。兩年來，我見證了整個中國的巨大進(jìn)步，尤其是在高科技制造和科研領(lǐng)域取得的成就。英國深具優(yōu)勢，能幫助中國在這些領(lǐng)域發(fā)展得更快。高科技制造業(yè)是全球性的產(chǎn)業(yè)。對我們所有人都是至關(guān)重要。/英國的公司和研究機構(gòu)能為中國在高科技領(lǐng)域的成功做出極大貢獻(xiàn)。我們特別感興趣的有信息與通信技術(shù)、生物技術(shù)，乃至更多的領(lǐng)域。/中國有很多世界級公司，它們正在走出國門，走向國際市場，其中有許多公司都選擇了英國。英國現(xiàn)在有300多家運營順利、受益良好的中國公司。Part BPassage 1合作與交流應(yīng)當(dāng)是雙向的。我認(rèn)為，我們應(yīng)當(dāng)處理好競爭與合作的關(guān)系。合作比競爭更為有利。/然而，我們注意到中國對海外的報道與西方媒體對中國的報道，兩者之間存在明顯的失衡。在中國，人們能夠觀看有關(guān)國外的各種報道，而在西方國家，人們很少看到正面報道關(guān)于中國經(jīng)濟發(fā)展和社會進(jìn)步方面的節(jié)目。/我認(rèn)為產(chǎn)生這一現(xiàn)象有多種原因。但是我相信，通過加強合作與交流，這種不平衡的狀況終將得到改變。/Cooperation and communication should be mutual. I think we should do well with the relationship between competition and cooperation. Actually, cooperation is more beneficial to us than competition./However, (as we have noticed/ as we were aware,) there is a marked imbalance between Chinas report on foreign countries and the reports on China by western media./In China, people can watch different programs about foreign countries. But you can find very few positive programs about Chinas economic development and social progress in western countries./I think that there are many reasons for this phenomenon. But I believe that enhanced cooperation and exchanges can eventually change this unbalanced situation.Passage 2經(jīng)濟全球化的快速發(fā)展，中美經(jīng)貿(mào)關(guān)系的不斷深化，形成了“你中有我、我中有你、互利共贏”的經(jīng)貿(mào)關(guān)系。/我們希望美國政府能夠順利順應(yīng)歷史發(fā)展趨勢，采取正確的經(jīng)貿(mào)政策措施，確保兩國人民獲得更多實實在在的利益。/中美兩國經(jīng)貿(mào)關(guān)系規(guī)模之大，涉及范圍之廣，牽涉各方面利益之深，已經(jīng)使其成為當(dāng)今世界最為復(fù)雜的經(jīng)濟關(guān)系。/當(dāng)前中美經(jīng)貿(mào)關(guān)系中出現(xiàn)的產(chǎn)品質(zhì)量和食品安全問題，就是一個突出的事例。我們雙方就這一問題進(jìn)行了深入、坦率的討論。Thanks to accelerated economic globalization, the growing China-US business relations have exhibited the features of interdependence, mutual benefit and win-win progress./We hope that the US administration will follow the trend of historical development, and pursue the right trade policy so as to enable our two people to gain more concrete benefits./China-US business relationship is the most complex one in todays world owing to its huge scale, broad scope and the extensive interests of various parties involved./A case in point in China-US business relationship is the issue of product quality and food safety. China and the United States have had in-depth and frank discussions on this issue.(200903)口語題Topic: Chilly Season for Job HuntersQuestions for Reference:1.

We have to think of innovation as more than basic science or new laboratory equipment./Innovation is the creation of value through new products or services, technologies and business models. And it requires strong leadership, a long term strategy and people who are committed to innovation.市長先生，首先感謝您給我這個機會來談一下我對如何確保上海在不遠(yuǎn)的未來成為世界級創(chuàng)新中心的看法。我們已經(jīng)意識到創(chuàng)新對于上海經(jīng)濟發(fā)展和繁榮的重要意義。您已闡明了（上海的）發(fā)展戰(zhàn)略，那就是將技術(shù)創(chuàng)新能力（的提升）置于一切工作之首。創(chuàng)新是國家的生命線，也是企業(yè)的生命線。沒有創(chuàng)新就沒有未來。創(chuàng)新不僅僅是基礎(chǔ)科學(xué)研究的投入，也不僅僅是新實驗設(shè)備的購置。創(chuàng)新是通過新產(chǎn)品、新服務(wù)、新技術(shù)和新商業(yè)模式的開發(fā)而創(chuàng)造的價值。創(chuàng)新需要堅強有力的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)、長期的戰(zhàn)略和致力創(chuàng)新的人才。Passage 2Dear Chinese friends, tonight, we come to the end of 16 glorious days which we will cherish forever.

Athletes from 204 National Olympic Committees came to these dazzling venues and awed us with their talent./New starts were born. Stars from past Games amazed us again. We shared their joys and their tears, and we marveled at their ability. We will long remember the achievements we witnessed here./The athletes tonight have shown us the unifying power of sport. The Olympic spirit lives in the warm embrace of competitors from nations in conflict. Keep that spirit alive when you return home.親愛的中國朋友們，今晚，我們即將結(jié)束16天光輝歷程。這些日子，將永遠(yuǎn)珍藏在我們的心中。感謝中國人民，感謝北京奧組委（的）的所有出色的志愿者們。通過本屆奧運會，世界更多地了解了中國，中國更多地了解了世界。來自204個國家和地區(qū)奧委會的運動健兒們在光彩奪目的場管里同場競技，用他們的精湛技藝博得了我們的贊嘆。新的奧運明星誕生了，往日的奧運明星又一次帶來驚喜，我們分享他們的歡笑和淚水，我們欽佩他們的才能，我們將長久銘記在此見證的光輝成就。今晚在場的運動員為我們充分地展示了體育的凝聚力。奧林匹克精神（的光輝）在來自沖突國家競技對手的熱情懷抱中閃耀。（希望）你們回國后讓這種奧林匹克精神生生不息/時代永存。Part BPassage 1中國是最大的發(fā)展中國家，非洲是發(fā)展中國家最集中的大陸，中國和非洲的人口占世界人口的三分之一以上。/沒有中國和非洲的和平與發(fā)展，就沒有世界的和平與發(fā)展。在新形勢下，中非共同利益在擴大，相互需求在增加。/建立中非新型戰(zhàn)略伙伴關(guān)系是中非合作的內(nèi)在需要，也是促進(jìn)世界和平與發(fā)展的必然要求。中非關(guān)系不斷發(fā)展，不僅有利于中國和非洲的發(fā)展進(jìn)步，而且有利于促進(jìn)發(fā)展中國家的團結(jié)與合作。China is the largest developing coun
