中国政府在宣布实行和平统一的方针时，是基于一个前提，即当时的台湾当局坚持世界上只有一个中国、台湾是中国的一部分。同时中国政府考虑到美国政府承认了世界上只有一个中国、台湾是中国的一部分、中华人民共和国政府是中国的唯一合法政府。

中国政府在实行和平统一方针的同时始终表明，以何种方式解决台湾问题是中国的内政，并无义务承诺放弃使用武力。

The declaration by the Chinese government to implement the policy of peaceful reunification was based on the prerequisite that the then Taiwan authorities insisted that there is only on China in the world and that Taiwan is a part of China.At the same time, the Chinese government took into consideration the fact that the US government recognized that there is only one China in the world, that Taiwan is a part of China and that the Government of the People’s Republic of China is the only legitimate government of China.While implementing the policy of peaceful reunification, the Chinese government has all along made it clear that it is an internal affair of China to decide on what method to use to resolve the Taiwan issue and that we have no obligation to commit ourselves to rule out the use of force.01年3月

据调查，我国有40％的青少年除了课本外不看其他书籍。对此，我感到极为震惊。虽然有关人士声称调查具有科学性，我仍不敢相信。不过尽管怀疑，事实却是，越来越多的年轻人在业余时间已不再读书，而是看电视、跳舞、打电子游戏机，或者“侃大山”。高尔基说过：“书籍是人类进步的阶梯。”众所周知，书籍是人类智慧的结晶。尽管现代传媒（如电视、计算机）在信息的传播速度上有许多优势，但到目前为止，还没有哪一种在传播知识的深度方面能取代书籍。According to a survey, about 40% of our country’s youth do not read any books other than their textbooks.I am shocked at the result.I remain suspicious of the survey, though the people concerned claim it to be scientific.Despite my suspicion, the fact is that more and more young people, instead of reading, spend their spare time watching TV, going to dance parties, playing video games or chitchatting.Gorgy once said:“Books are steps toward human progress.”As we all know, books is a crystallization of human wisdom.Although modern media such as TV and computers enjoy advantages in the speed of information dissemination, so far none of them can replace books in respect of the depth of knowledge being spread.01年9月

本届会议将围绕“新世纪、新挑战：参与、合作、促进共同繁荣”的主题，审议5个方面的议题，以期促进亚太地区和全球经贸的发展。

今年的APEC会议将主要侧重两个方面：一是加强APEC成员之间的合作，共同应对可能出现的经济衰退，重树信心；二是继续推进APEC贸易投资自由化进程，推动WTO尽早开始新一轮谈判。

This year's meeting will, centering round the theme of“Meeting new challenges in the new century: achieving common prosperity through participation and cooperation,” review the agenda covering 5 areas with a view to promoting the economic and trade development in the Asia-Pacific region and the world at large.This year's APEC meeting will focus on 2 key missions: one is to strengthen the cooperation among APEC members in dealing with a possible economic slowdown to build up new confidence;the other is to continue to advance the process of APEC trade and investment liberalization and facilitation and urge the WTO to initiate a new round talks as soon as possible.02年3月

我总以为，在中国效率最高的会议要数学校召集的家长会。家长会完全符合“廉政建设”的要求，与会的家长绝不会像参加行业、单位的一些会议，先看看会议地点是不是设在风景旅游区，会后发不发纪念品之类，然后方决定是否参加。其他会议都难得准时，惟有家长会绝对正点召开。在家长会上，家长们个个全神贯注地倾听、记录，生怕漏掉一点内容。不少会议都可列入可开可不开之列，但对于学校和家长而言，家长会则是必不可少的。

I always believe that the most efficient meeting in China is the parents’ meeting called by the school.The parents’ meeting, is in full conformity with the requirements for the “building of an honest and clean government”.With respect to meetings organized by a certain trade or the unit where one works, the person wants to know whether the venue of a meeting is in a scenic area frequented by tourists and whether gifts of souvenirs will be handed out after the meeting before he decides whether to go or not to go.But for the parents’ meeting, nobody will ever think of that.While other meetings are rarely convened on time, the parents’ meeting invariably starts with punctuality.At the parents’ meeting, every parent listens and takes notes with rapt attention lest he or she might miss anything.For many meetings, it does not really matter whether they are to be held or not, but to the school and the parents, the parents’ meeting is absolutely necessary.4 02年9月

到2007年，上海市人均国内生产总值预计将达到7500美元。这一目标的实现，最直接的应该是老百姓住得更宽敞、更舒适了。因为从市民的“衣、食、住、行”消费来讲，住房是一个重要因素，而且占了大头。届时，上海人均住房面积会大幅增加。除此之外，老百姓的服务性消费，如教育、信息、旅游等消费也会大量增长。用一句话来表述，那便是未来老百姓的生活会更好，那时的老百姓的生活将和中等发达国家的居民一样。

The per capita GDP in Shanghai is expected to reach US $7500 by 2007.The common people should benefit most directly from the attainment of this goal.They will live more comfortably in bigger space.Among the basic necessities of life—food, clothing, shelter and transportation—housing is an important element, accounting for a big portion in the money they spend.In 2007, the average per capita living space in Shanghai will increase by a big margin.In addition, the common people’s spending on such services as education, information and traveling will grow substantially.To put it in a nutshell, in the future the common people will live a better life, a life of the same standard as enjoyed by those in the middle-ranking developed countries.03年3月

中国改革开放以来，国民经济年均增长速度达到9.7%。中国已经发展成为一个全球极富吸引力的大市场。世界各国和地区不少有远见卓识的企业家，都将目光投向了中国，投向了西部，并从投资活动中获得了丰厚的回报。中国加入世贸组织后，外商参与中国西部开发的机会越来越多。西部大开发一定能成为沟通世界各国和中国的一座桥梁，促进中国和世界经济共同发展，共同繁荣。

Since the adoption of opening and reform policy, China’s annual growth of national economy has reached 9.7%.China has developed into a big market attractive to the world.Numerous/A number of entrepreneurs of foresight around the world have cast their eye to China, especially the west China and gained abundant profit/profitability from investment.After China’s entry into the WTO, there are more and more opportunities for foreign businessmen to join in the development of the West.The Great Western Development is sure to be a bridge between China and the rest world, which promotes/promoting the common development and prosperity of China and the world.03年9月

经过二十多年的快速发展，中国西部地区已奠定了一定的物质技术基础，社会保持稳定，市场经济体制正在逐步建立和完善，为西部经济持续快速增长创造了有利的市场环境。中国政府坚持实行以扩大内需为主的发展方针，并把扩大内需与调整经济结构，推动科技进步，促进对外开放结合起来。随着西部大开发战略的稳步推进，西部地区的资源优势，经济优势将得到充分发挥，经济增长的质量和水平将进一步提高。

Thanks to the rapid(economic)development in the past 20-plus years, a relatively solid foundation in terms of material wealth and technology was laid in the western region of China.With the society enjoying a rather satisfactory stability, and the market economy system being established and improved on a daily basis, providing a favourable market environment for the western region to maintain the sustained and rapid economic growth.While focusing on its policy of expanding the western region, the Chinese government also attaches rather great importance to the restructuring of the economy, the promotion of the scentific and technological development, the deepening of the opening-up policy as well.With the stable advance in the development of the western region, the advantages of the region in resources and economy will be given full play, thus further improving the quality and standard of the economic growth.04年3月

中华民族历来珍惜和平。中国的崛起，是和平的崛起，是依靠自己力量来发展自己。中外关系中，我们一贯主张以邻为伴、与人为善，同各国发展友好合作关系。

中国现在是、今后相当长时间内仍将是一个发展中国家。中国有13亿人口，这是最大的国情。中国国内生产总值已居全球第六位，但人均水平却排在第138位。我们还面临不容忽视的失业、贫困和发展不平衡等问题。中国要赶上发达国家，还需要几代人、十几代人的艰辛努力。

The Chinese nation has always cherished peace.China’s rise, an achievement accomplished by our own efforts, symbolizes that peace has risen to the dominating position.In getting along with the foreign countries, we consistently adhere to the policy of making partnership and being friendly to the neighboring countries with an aim to seek a friendly cooperation with them.China is and will continue, in a quite long time, to be a developing country.China has a population of 1.3 billion, which is the most important part in our national conditions.It is then no doubt that China ranks 138th per capita while its GDP totals 6th globally.We are now still facing serious problems that we can’t avoid such as unemployment, poverty, and unbalanced regional development.To catch up with the developed countries, several, even dozens of generations’ efforts are still expected.04年9月

有人把香港说成是“文化沙漠”。实际上，香港有着其独特的文化氛围。在电影制作方面，香港名列世界前茅，其流行歌曲在全球华人中有着广泛的影响，而且还有8所知名的大学。

这座城市特殊的历史和地理因素造就了一种多样化的文化。每年一度由政府主办的艺术嘉年华为当地艺术家展示其独创性提供了一个广阔的平台，并鼓励更多人参与文化艺术创作，为中国的文华繁荣作出了许多创新和突破。

Hong Kong is recognized by some people as the “cultural desert”.However, as a matter of fact, Hong Kong enjoys its unique cultural settings.In terms of film-making, it ranks among the top in the world and its pop songs have an extensive influence among all the Chinese globally.Moreover, there are also 8 well-known universities in Hong Kong.The persified culture of Hong Kong is attributed to its special history and location.The art carnival hosted by the government annually has provided a broad stage for the local artists to exhibit their originality and encouraged more people to get involved in the production of cultural and art works, thus making a lot of innovations and breakthroughs for the boom of the Chinese culture.05年9月

中国有句古话：“相知无远近，万里尚为邻”。中国与亚洲各国山水相连，共同铸就了灿烂的亚洲文明；古老而美丽的“丝绸之路”，谱写了中欧千年往来的美好篇章。中国与亚欧各国的互利合作正在步入一个全新的阶段。中国已成为亚欧和世界经济发展中的积极力量，我们将坚定走和平发展的道路，致力于同亚欧各国发展富有活力和长期稳定的全面合作关系，与亚欧各国相互支持，携手前进，共创美好的未来。

In China, there is an old saying which goes like this, “Long distance never separates close friends.” A ready link connecting this country and many other ones, like the Silk Road, in Asia and Europe helps a lot in bringing about the splendid civilization in Asia and the frequent exchanges and communication between China and the Continent in the past years.Now, we are going a step further in our cooperation based on mutual benefits, enjoying a brand-new bilateral relation.China, a devoted part in promoting the economic development in the 2 continents, will keep her track on the road of peace and development.A corresponding effort made by this country in building a dynamic and long-term cooperation in all fields across Asia and Europe, together with all the other efforts from the 2 continents, will definitely contribute a big part in making the bright future.06年3月

上海是一座朝气蓬勃、充满活力、多姿多彩的国际大都市，改革开放以来，上海变化之大令世人瞩目。经济高速发展，社会秩序稳定，人民安居乐业，呈现出一片繁华气象。

进入耶鲁大学的校园，看到莘莘学子青春洋溢的脸庞，呼吸着书香浓郁的空气，我不由回想起40年前我在北京清华大学时的美好时光，老师们对我的教诲，同学们给我的启发，我至今仍受用不尽。

耶鲁大学以悠久的发展历史、独特的办学风格、卓著的学术成就闻名于世。如果时光能够倒流几十年，我真希望成为你们中的一员。耶鲁大学校训强调追求光明和真理，这符合人类进步的法则，也符合每个有志青年的心愿。

Coming to the Yale campus with its distinctive academic flavor, and looking at the eager young faces in the audience, I cannot but recall my great experience studying at Qinghua University in Beijing 40 years ago.I still benefit greatly from the instruction and my interaction with other students.Yale is renowned for its long history, unique way of teaching and excellence in academic pursuit.If time could go back several decades, I would really like to be a student of Yale just like you.Yale's motto “Light and Truth,” which is a calling for human progress, represents the aspiration of every motivated young man and woman.07年3月

中国赢得 2010 年世界博览会的举办权，靠的是国际社会对中国改革开放的支持和信心。这次博览会将是自 1851 年在英国伦敦第一次举办以来，首次在发展中国家举办的世界博览会，它表达了全世界人民对中国未来发展的期望。

2010 年上海世博会的主题是“城市，让生活更美好。”未来的城市生活是全球关注的话题，与每一个国家及其人民息息相关。第一次以“城市”作为主题的 2010 世界博览会将吸引全球约 200 个国家和国际组织参与盛会，国内外参访人数预计达 7000 万。

China owes its successful bid for the World Exposition in 2010 to the international community’s support for and confidence in its reform and opening-up.The World Exposition will be the first one in a developing country since it was first held in 1851 in London, UK, which gives expression to the expectations the world’s people place on China’s future development.The theme of World Expo 2010 shanghai is “BetterCity, Better Life”.The prospect of future urban life, a subject of global interest, concerns every nation and its people.Being the first world Exposition on the theme of city, Expo 2010will attract about 200 nations and international organizations to participate in it, with an estimate of 70 million visitors from home and abroad.07年9月

中国坚定不移地走和平发展道路，是基于中国国情的必然选择。1840年鸦片战争以后的100多年里，中国受尽了列强的欺辱。消除战争，实现和平，建设独立富强、民生幸福的国家，是近代以来中国人民孜孜以求的奋斗目标。今天的中国虽然取得了巨大的发展成就，但人口多，底子薄，发展不平衡，仍然是世界上最大的发展中国家。推动经济社会发展，不断改善人民生活始终是中国的中心任务。坚持走和平发展道路，是中国实现国家富强、人民幸福的必由之路。中国人民最需要、最珍爱和平的国际环境，愿尽自己所能，为推动各国共同发展作出积极贡献。

China’s firm stand on peaceful development is only natural, given the country’s unique situation.In the ensuing 100 plus years after the Opium War of 1840, China suffered great humiliation at the hands of the world’s big powers.The Chinese people have, throughout the modern times, yearned and sought for a peaceful, independent, prosperous and happy life free from wars.Despite the tremendous growth we are witnessing in China today, the country is still faced with a large population, a weak economic foundation and rather uneven development.It is still, as it were, the largest developing country in the world.China’s major focus, therefore, is on socio-economic development and continued improvement of people’s livelihood.The only way to achieve prosperity for China and happiness for its people is by sticking to the path of peaceful development.The Chinese people will try their utmost to promote and contribute to common development among nations and, in order to do that, they need and cherish to the highest degree a peaceful international environment.08年9月

据消息灵通人士透露，今年春节前，家乐福才与新大新发生“第一次亲密接触”，其中广州市政府无疑起了“红娘”的作用。短短几个月时间，双方“情投意合”。外界关心的是：家乐福到底看中新大新什么地方？

对此，新大新总经理何先生没有作出正面的回应，只是笼统地陈述在广州的百货业中新大新有自己独特的一面。据何先生透露，这次新大新出资持有新组建的公司35%的股份，家乐福占65%:“这是按照国家有关部门政策，即中方持股不得少于35%的规定厘定的”。

According to a well-informed source, before this year’s Spring Festival, Carrefour made its “first intimate contact” with Xindaxin company.Without doubt the Guangzhou Municipal Government served as the “matchmaker”.The two parties “had an affinity for each other” in only a few months.What on earth is Xindaxin’s appeal to Carrefour? It is of great concern to the outsiders / the public.Mr He, general manager of Xindaxin, instead of giving any positive response to this question, just made a general/ambiguous reply that Xindaxin boasts its uniqueness in the department stores industry in Guangzhou.Mr He disclosed that Xindaxin holds 35% of the shares of the newly-established company while Carrefour owns the other 65%: “which is in conformity with the policies of departments concerned, stipulating that the Chinese side must hold no less than 35% of the shares.”

钟表上的秒针一下一下地移动，每移动一下就是表示我们的寿命已经缩短了一部分。再看看墙上挂着的可以一张张撕下的日历，每天撕下一张就是表示我们的寿命又缩短了一天。

因为时间即生命。没有人不爱惜他的生命，但很少人珍视他的时间。如果想在有生之年做一点什么事，学一点什么学问，充实自己，帮助别人，使生命成为有意义，不虚此生，那么就不可浪费光阴。这个道理人人都懂，可是很少人能积极不懈地善为利用他的时间。

Our life is shortened by every tick of the second hand of the clock.Each page peeled away from the wall calendar marks a bygone day.Time is life, while life is cherished by everybody, but time, by few.How can we achieve something in our brief life? To learn some knowledge!To replenish ourselves!To help those in need!To add significance to our life!Time should not be squandered if we want to make our life meaningful(to get a lot out of our life).This principle is accepted by all, but wisely observed by very few.09年9月

Two big shots attended a buffet reception, trying to pose as lovers of culture, for the participants included some real scholars of distinction.During the reception, a scholar chatted with Tycoon A and somehow the topic shifted to Shakespeare.The scholar asked, “Are you most interested in Shakespeare?” The big shot paused and announced with a severe countenance: “In comparison, whiskey is more to my taste.” Hearing that, all the listeners laughed up their sleeves.Tycoon B saw the straw in the wind and left resentfully.On their way home in the car, Tycoon B lectured Tycoon A: “ How could you be that ignorant!Shakespeare is a beverage, and you are foolish enough to take that as an imported spirit!”

2010年翩然而至，全球24个时区的万千钟声，此起彼伏，宣告在这人类新千年中，一个10年代的终结，又是另一个10年代的开始。在开局的10年中，中国经济在前9年连续9年保持着9%以上的增长。最后一年，虽受国际金融风暴影响，但依然能保持8%的高增长。

中国犹如中流砥柱，力挽狂澜，使全球目光，再次聚焦于东方。一年多的实践，终使曙光再现。全人类定能以集体的智慧，攻坚克难，度过难关，必将是柳暗花明又一村的新局面。
