第一篇：中石化2011職稱英語教材(綜合)

1.How to be Happy如何獲得幸福

In the past two weeks we have looked at the happiness formula defined by positive psychologist Martin Seligman, where H(happiness)= S(your biological set point for feeling happy)+ C(the conditions of your life)+ V(the voluntary choices you make).Next, we'll look at the conditions in life that can improve our happiness quotient.過去兩周我們研究了一項幸福公式，這是由樂觀心理學(xué)家馬丁塞利格曼定義的。H(幸福)=S(個人生理幸福感受的固定指數(shù))+C(個人生活狀態(tài))+V(個人主觀選擇)。接下來我們將著眼于能提升幸福指數(shù)的生活狀態(tài)。

Step 1: Peace and quiet第一步：平和寧靜

Jonathon Haidt in his excellent book, 'The Happiness Hypothesis', notes that research shows that we can never completely adapt to new or chronic noise pollution.喬納森海迪在他的優(yōu)秀著作《幸福假說》當(dāng)中提到，研究調(diào)查顯示，我們不可能完全適應(yīng)噪音污染，無論是新近的還是長期的。

Loud noises trigger one of our most primitive fear responses(the other is the fear of falling)and we can never fully relax if we are surrounded by intrusive noise.巨大噪聲會引起我們某種面對恐懼本能反映(另一種是對于墜落的恐懼)，如果周遭噪音喧鬧，我們不可能完全放松。

Noisy neighbours are one of the most emotive causes of domestic upset for a very good reason.這樣看來，吵鬧的鄰居的確對我們家庭不和起到很大影響。

It is essential to have some peace and quiet every day.If you are unfortunate enough to live somewhere noisy, persist with complaining to your local council.每日保持平和寧靜事關(guān)重要。如果你的生活環(huán)境不幸比較吵，請一定要堅持去居委會投訴。

Additionally, try wearing wax earplugs to give you some respite.If you need your TV, radio or music up loud, wearing headphones demonstrates altruism to your neighbours, which will make you and them feel good.另外，試試實用耳塞，可能會緩解噪聲。如果你一定要大聲看電視、聽收音機(jī)放音樂的話，記得戴上耳機(jī)。別影響鄰里，這樣可以使雙方都感到舒適。

Step 2: Relationships第二步：人際關(guān)系

This is the most important of all the external conditions that can improve your happiness quotient.這是增加幸福指數(shù)的一條至關(guān)重要的內(nèi)部條件。

Often our deepest sources of unhappiness are found in poor relationships with others.A colleague at work who bullies or dismisses us creates untold wretchedness.我們感到不快樂的最深層原因，往往就是人際關(guān)系欠佳。如果一個在職同事對我們表示威嚇的話，會造成難以言語的抑郁情緒。

A cruelly conflictual relationship with a partner or lover leaves us feeling betrayed and abandoned.與拍檔或者愛人的關(guān)系陷入殘酷競爭之中，會讓我們感到背叛和背棄。

A relationship with our parents or children which is not based on compassionate, unconditional regard creates isolation and misery.We never fully adapt to hostile relationships, they invidiously contaminate our wellbeing, squatting inside our minds as unresolved, destructive ruminations.與父母孩子之間的關(guān)系缺乏同情心和無私關(guān)心，那么這會造成隔閡生產(chǎn)痛苦。我們不可能適應(yīng)這種敵對關(guān)系，這種不良的人際關(guān)系會損害身心健康，長久留存在我們心里，會讓人陷入無以解決的惡性心理困境。

When faced with such relationships, the most positive thing we can do is to either mend the relationship by confronting what is going wrong or learn to move on.當(dāng)我們面臨這類問題時，最好的辦法，就是直面難題，挽救關(guān)系，或者學(xué)著繼續(xù)前進(jìn)。

Step 3: Share第三步：分享

If I have discovered conditions or choices in life that have significantly improved my wellbeing, I would like to share them with you.如果我發(fā)覺生活狀態(tài)或者做的某項決定對幸福生活有極大幫助的話，我很想說出來同你們一起分享。

Passing on what works is essential to improve our own and the wellbeing of others.將有用的發(fā)現(xiàn)與更多人分享，這對增進(jìn)自己的幸福和他人的幸福都有積極作用。

【練習(xí)題目及參考答案】 A．漢譯英

1．吵鬧的鄰居的確對我們家庭不和(domestic upset)有很大影響。Noisy neighbors are one of the major causes of domestic upset.2．在職場上，如果一個同事對我們表示威嚇的話，會造成難以言表的抑郁情緒(unwretchedness)。A colleague at work who bullies or dismisses us creates untold wretchedness．

3．我們不可能適應(yīng)這種敵對關(guān)系，這種不良的人際關(guān)系會損害身心健康。We can never fully adapt to hostile relationships，which inevitably damage our wellbeing.4．如果這種壞情緒長時問留在人們的心里，會讓人陷入無法解決的惡性心理困境。If this bad mood stays inside our mind，it will lead us to an unresolved destructive depression．

5．我們不應(yīng)當(dāng)回避這些問題，而是要正確面對它們。We should not avoid these problems but face them instead.B．英譯漢

There are many benefits to being happy．Happier people tend to be healthier, live longer and earn more．They also tend to volunteer more，be better at relationships and smile more of what psychologists call “Duchenne” or genuine smiles．What is less well understood is why happiness is contagious．幸福有許多好處。越幸福的人往往越健康、越長壽、掙的錢越多。他們通常也會從事更多的志愿工作、更善于處理人際關(guān)系、發(fā)出更多心理學(xué)家所說的“杜興微笑”，即真誠的微笑。我們了解不深的是，為什么幸?？梢詡魅尽?/p>

According to James Fowler and Nicholas Christakis，authors of the international bestseller Connected, people surrounded by many happy friends，family members and neighbours who are central to their social network become significantly happier in the future．More specifically，they say we will become 25 per cent happier with our life if a friend who lives within a mile of us becomes significantly happier with his or her life．全球暢銷書《關(guān)聯(lián)》餉作者詹姆斯?福勒和尼古拉斯?克里斯塔基斯發(fā)現(xiàn)，如果你身邊那些重要的人際網(wǎng)絡(luò)中有許多幸福的朋友、家人與鄰居，那么你將也會很幸福。他們表示，更準(zhǔn)確地說，如果居住在離你1英里內(nèi)的一個朋友生活幸福感得到顯著提升，你的生活幸福感就會增加25％。

Similar effects are seen in co—resident spouses(8 per cent happier)；siblings who live within a-mile of each other(14 per cent)；and next-door neighbours(34 per cent)．What this implies is that the magnitude of happiness spread seems to depend more on frequent social contact(due to physical proximity)than on deep social connections．Alas, for some reason this doesn't translate to the workplace．具有同樣效果的還有同居配偶(幸福感提升8％)、居住在1英里之內(nèi)的兄弟姐妹(14％)和鄰居(34％)。這意味著，幸福傳播的強(qiáng)度似乎更取決于交往的頻繁度(與地域鄰近相關(guān))，而不是社會關(guān)系的深度?？上в捎谀撤N原因，這并不適用于工作場合。

So, why is happiness contagious? One reason may be that happy people share their good fortune with their friends and family(for example，by being pragmatically helpful or financially generous)．Another reason could be that happy people tend to change their behaviour for the better by being nicer or less hostile to those close to them．Or it could just be that positive emotions are highly contagious．那么，為什么幸福能夠傳染?一個原因或許是，幸福的人會與親朋好友分享好運(yùn)氣(例如，提供實際的幫助?；蛟诮?jīng)濟(jì)上慷慨解囊)。另一個原因可能是，幸福的人往往會改善自己的行為，會對周圍的人更加友好，或減少敵意。又或許只是因為正面情緒具有高度傳染性。

2.City Design城市設(shè)計

When I'm being driven through a city from our hotel to a conference center, I couldn't help but note the overwhelming presence of cars and parking lots.當(dāng)我從旅館乘車穿行城市前往會議中心時，映入眼簾的是無處不在的汽車和停車場。

The world's cities are in trouble.In hundreds of cities, the life of daily life is deteriorating.Breathing the air in some cities is equivalent to smoking two packs of cigarettes per day.全世界的城市都陷入了困境，數(shù)以百計的城市日常生活的質(zhì)量正繼不斷下降。在一些城市，每天呼吸空氣等于抽兩包香煙。

The number of hours commuters spend going nowhere sitting in traffic-congested streets and highways climbs higher each year, raising frustration levels.每天上班族驅(qū)車時因街道和道路堵塞而寸步難行，耽擱的時間逐年升高，郁悶也隨之加深。

In response to these conditions, we are seeing the emergence of a new urbanism.針對上述情況，我們可以看到一種新城市主義的理念正在興起。

In just a few years, many cities banned the parking of cars on sidewalks, created or renovated more parks, introduced a highly successful bus-based rapid transit system, built hundreds of kilometers of bicycle paths and pedestrian streets, reduced rush hour traffic, planted more trees, and involved local citizens directly in the improvement of their neighborhoods.在短短的幾年內(nèi)，許多城市的人行道上不再允許停車，新建和改造了更多的停車場，建立了一套以公共汽車為基礎(chǔ)的極為成功的快速運(yùn)行系統(tǒng)，興建了數(shù)百公里的自行車道和步行街，高峰時段的交通擁擠得以減緩，種植了更多的樹木，并吸收當(dāng)?shù)厥忻裰苯訁⑴c社區(qū)的改善工作。

The quality of urban life in these cities has been greatly enhanced with the vision of a city designed for people.城市設(shè)計以人為本的理念使這些城市的生活質(zhì)量有了很大的提高。

Now government planners everywhere are experimenting, seeking ways to design cities for people not cars.現(xiàn)在，各地政府的規(guī)劃者們都在嘗試尋找為了人而不是為汽車設(shè)計城市的方法。

Cars promise mobility.But in an urbanizing world there is an inherent conflict between the automobile and the city.汽車應(yīng)帶給人們活動的便捷。但是在一個不斷城市化的世界里，存在著一個根深蒂固的矛盾，即汽車與城市之間的矛盾。

After a point, as their numbers multiply, automobiles provide not mobility but immobility.超過一個臨界點之后，隨著汽車數(shù)量的累加，汽車提供的不再是便捷，而是停滯。

Based on this perspective, some cities in industrial and developing countries alike will dramatically increasing urban mobility by moving away from the car.基于這個觀點，無論在發(fā)達(dá)的工業(yè)國家還是發(fā)展中國家，一些城市將會通過遠(yuǎn)離汽車來極大增加市區(qū)的通暢。

Let me remind you once more, cities are built for people, not for cars.讓我再次提醒你，城市是為了人，不是為了汽車而建設(shè)的。

A city full of cars is like what the horrifying sci-fi depicted-all mechanism and no human.In order to avoid this disaster, we'd better start designing sustainable cities.擠滿汽車的城市就像恐怖的科幻小說里描繪的—全是機(jī)械沒有人性。為了避免這場災(zāi)難，我們最好開始設(shè)計可持續(xù)發(fā)展的城市。

閱讀理解【題目及參考答案】

1.What means of transportation does the author take to the conference center?(He takes)a bus． 2.According to the first paragraph what is happening in cities where there are more cars? Cars not only do harm to people's health but also cause heavy traffic jam．

3.What does the last sentence “the vision of a city designed for people” in paragraph 2 mean? Design cities for people not(for)cars．

4.Why is there an inherent conflict between the automobile and the city in urban areas? Because people depend largely on cars．

5.How would a city look like if cars were everywhere? There would be all Cars(mechanism)no human．【練習(xí)題目及參考答案】 A．漢譯英

1.隨著大量市民被迫遷到遙遠(yuǎn)的郊外，汽車的需求量正在飛漲。The demand for Cars is soaring as growing numbers of citizens are pushed into distant suburbs.2.生態(tài)城市將把傳統(tǒng)設(shè)計要素同最先進(jìn)的綠色技術(shù)相結(jié)合。The eco-city will combine elements of traditional design with the latest green technologies.3.預(yù)計到2010年將有一千輛燃料電池車（fuel-cell vehicles）投入使用，而到2012年將增至一萬輛。One thousand fuel-cell vehicles will be estimated to put to use by 2010 and increase to 10,000 by 2012.4.如今，各地方政府幾乎無一不在探討有關(guān)生態(tài)農(nóng)村、生態(tài)城鎮(zhèn)或生態(tài)城市計劃的話題。These days, there is hardly a local government that does not talk about plans for an eco-village, town or even city.5.全世界大約一半的人口居住在城市，所以研究能緩解城市對環(huán)境影響的途徑勢在必行。It is fairly necessary to search for ways to reduce the environmental impact of cities because around half of the world's population is now city-dwellers(is now living in cities).B．英譯漢．

Once at a supermarket，I read a thought-provoking sign at the check—out counter.It said the store was using only plastic bags．The supermarket claimed that the energy and exhaust fumes expelled to produce and transport the same number of paper bags outweighed the fact that plastic wasn't biodegradable：Paper bags take up more space and require more trucks for transport，SO the store．Believed it was lessening its carbon footprint by using plastic．It got me thinking further．Why not ask for plastic and bring your used plastic bags each time you visit the grocery store? If you use them five or six times，or until they start falling apart，you have really done a good thing．You can also use them to line your small wastebaskets．Instead of purchasing plastic trash bags．有一次在一家超市的收銀處，我看到了一則發(fā)人深思的廣告，上面寫著：本店只用塑料袋。超市聲稱：事實上生產(chǎn)和運(yùn)輸同量紙袋所消耗的能源和所排放的廢氣的危害大大超過塑料袋不能進(jìn)行生物降解的危害。而且紙袋占用的空間更大，需要更多的卡車運(yùn)送。因此，超市認(rèn)為使用塑料袋可以減少碳足跡。該告示促使我作了進(jìn)一步的思考。為什么使用了塑料袋后，不能每次再去雜貨店時帶上重復(fù)使用呢?如果能用上五六次，或者用到破了為止，你豈不是做了一件大好事。你也可以把塑料袋鋪在小垃圾筐里盛垃圾，而不用再買垃圾專用塑料袋。

3.Population人口

A very important world problem is the increasing number of people who actually inhabit this planet.在我們這個星球上居住的人越來越多，是一個很重要的全球問題。

The limited amount of land and land resources will soon be unable to support the huge population if it continues to grow at its present rate.如果繼續(xù)按照現(xiàn)有的增長率發(fā)展下去，那么有限的土地及土地資源很快不能養(yǎng)活這么巨大的人口。

So why is this huge increase in population taking place? It is really due to the spread of the knowledge and practice of what is becoming known as “Death Control”.那么為什么會出現(xiàn)人口的大量增長呢?這的確是因為知識的廣泛傳播和眾所周知的“死亡控制”的結(jié)果。

You have no doubt heard of the term “Birth Control”its nonrenewable fossil fuels and other mineral deposits that took millions of years to form but which are now being destroyed in decades.但是，我們并沒有這樣做!反而我們正在消耗它的“本錢”——其不可再生的化石燃料與其它礦藏，它們是在幾百萬年的時間里才形成的，然而現(xiàn)在，幾十年內(nèi)就會被消耗殆盡。

We are also doing the same with other vital resources not usually thought of as being nonrenewable, such as fertile soils, groundwater and the millions of other species that share earth with us.我們對待其它通常不被看做是不可再生的重要自然資源也是如此，譬如肥沃的土地、地下水和千百萬與我們共同居住在地球上的物種。

閱讀理解【題目及參考答案】

1．What can be learnt about the population growth at present? It continues to increase／grow at its present rate．

2．According to the article, what contributes to the population increase? Death Control 3．What is the doctors' job according to paragraph 2? They keep people who suffer from incurable diseases alive．

4．Why isn't there enough land to support human beings? Because the world's land has already been taken up occupied by the ever-increasing population．

5．In paragraph 4 the fertile soils are considered as_____.nonrenewable 【練習(xí)題目及參考答案】 A．漢譯英

1.亞洲大陸面積占世界陸地面積的29％。Asia makes up twenty-nine per cent of the world's land area． 2.人口的增加使土地必須生產(chǎn)更多的糧食。The increasing population makes it necessary for the earth to produce more grain．

3.我們應(yīng)該先進(jìn)行抽樣調(diào)查再寫報告。We should conduct a sampling investigation before we write the report.4.我承認(rèn)我在工作中因缺乏經(jīng)驗犯過這樣那樣的錯誤。I admit that due to lack of experience I have made mistakes of all kinds．

5.中國的現(xiàn)代化工業(yè)和商品經(jīng)濟(jì)的發(fā)展，促進(jìn)了職業(yè)流動和人口流動。The development of modem industry and commodity economy in China has promoted occupational(mobility)and population mobility．

B．英譯漢 A report，based on United Nations projections showing slow, steady growth of economies and populations，suggests that by mid-century, humanity's demand on nature will be twice the biosphere's productive capacity．At this level of ecological deficit，exhaustion of ecological assets and large-scale ecosystem collapse will become real．一份以聯(lián)合國所作的經(jīng)濟(jì)和火口緩慢增長的預(yù)期為基礎(chǔ)的報告顯示。到本世紀(jì)中葉，人類對自然界的需求將達(dá)到生態(tài)圈自身生產(chǎn)能力的兩倍。在這樣的生態(tài)“赤字”水平下，生態(tài)資源的枯竭和大規(guī)模的生態(tài)系統(tǒng)崩潰將會成為事實。

Moving towards sustainability depends on significant action now．Population size changes slowly, and human-made capitalvibrations and other physical sensations that are now used, for instance, to let a gamer know she's reached a new level, but that can also be used to communicate emotions and may soon give a touch-screen keyboard the feel of a physical keyboard.其它開發(fā)人員正在研究“觸覺”反饋的升級技術(shù)，它們不但可用來提醒游戲玩家已經(jīng)過關(guān)，也可以用來進(jìn)行感情交流，并且有可能很快就能使觸摸屏具有真空鍵盤的觸覺。

And for those who still prefer to work with keys on their phones, even some traditional keyboards will perform certain functions in response to touch commands.對于那些更喜歡使用手機(jī)鍵盤的人來說，即便傳統(tǒng)的鍵盤也將能發(fā)揮與觸摸指令相對應(yīng)的功能。

Software developers set to work on multi-touch applications.Some, for instance, allow users to play virtual musical instruments on the phone.But multi-touch developers have largely focused on games.軟件開發(fā)人員開始研發(fā)多觸摸應(yīng)用軟件。例如，有些軟件可以使用戶在電話上彈奏虛擬樂器。但是，多觸點開發(fā)人員主要以開發(fā)游戲為主。

Haptic technology already has many non-mobile applications.In videogames, for instance, it can give gamers the sensation of actually steering a car they're controlling on the screen.觸覺技術(shù)已經(jīng)在非移動領(lǐng)域得到了廣泛應(yīng)用。例如，在視頻游戲當(dāng)中，它可以讓游戲玩家感到自己好像真的在駕駛他們所控制的熒屏賽車。

In medical training, it can make procedures like endoscopy performed on a simulator feel real, so that medical personnel can develop a better sense of how to perform them.在醫(yī)療培訓(xùn)中，它可以讓在模擬器上操作的內(nèi)窺鏡檢測法等程序感覺異常真實，從而使醫(yī)療人員能更自如地操作這些儀器。

The use of haptics in mobile phones is still in its infancy, but the wider deployment of haptic enabled phones will open the door to new applications.觸覺技術(shù)在手機(jī)方面的使用仍然處于初創(chuàng)階段，但是觸覺技術(shù)手機(jī)的廣泛運(yùn)用將為這項技術(shù)得以更多、更新的應(yīng)用開辟新的途徑。

For now, at least, many mobile users prefer the accuracy of a physical keyboard rather than a touch screen.目前看來，至少還有許多手機(jī)用戶仍然偏愛物理鍵盤的準(zhǔn)確性，他們對觸摸屏并不十分感興趣。

A new technology is being designed to allow the best of both worlds: a keyboard that can also respond to touch commands.開發(fā)人員正在設(shè)計一項可以兼顧這兩種需求的新技術(shù)：即可以同時回應(yīng)觸摸指令的物理鍵盤。

閱讀理解【題目及參考答案】

1．Why do we say Apple's iPhone is a revolution? Because Apple is the first to develop a new technology called easy-to-touch-screen．

2．What is the advantage of multi-touch screen? The screens can process commands the user gives with more than one finger．

3．What is the haptic feedback technology? It is vibrations and physical sensations．

4．What do gamers feel if they use haptic technology in videogames? The garners feel that they have the actual sensation when they play games．

5．Why do many people like a physical keyboard nowadays? Because they like the accuracy of a physical keyboard．

【練習(xí)題目及參考答案】 A．漢譯英 1．這項技術(shù)使移動通訊行業(yè)產(chǎn)生了突破性變革。This technology revolutionized mobile communication.2．多觸摸功能是其最大的賣點之一(eye-catching feature)。The multi-touch capability is among its most eye-catching features.3．戴爾是一家跨國技術(shù)公司，總部設(shè)在德克薩斯州。Dell Inc.based in Texas, is a multinational company.4．制造商經(jīng)常在用戶購買新電腦的時候提供免費更換服務(wù)。Manufactures often offer a free replacement service when users purchase a new PC.5．很多多點觸控界面(interfaces)的產(chǎn)品已經(jīng)出現(xiàn)，而且正在廣泛地應(yīng)用。Many products for multi-touch interfaces have already existed and are being widely applied.B．英譯漢 The keyboard，being developed by the researchers，responds normally when a letter or number is pressed．But a user could scroll down a Web page by running a finger lightly across the key board；Pressing a little harder might be the command to scroll faster or zoom in on a Page．The technology is expected to start being employed in mobile phones in 2010 or 2011．研究人員在研制這樣一種鍵盤，當(dāng)用戶按下一個字母或者數(shù)字的時候，它可以作出正確的反應(yīng)。用戶可以通過手指輕輕地上下觸摸鍵盤來滑動網(wǎng)頁；如果用力稍重一點，則表明滑動得更快或者放大頁面的指令。這項技術(shù)有望于2010年或者2011年運(yùn)用在手機(jī)上。

9.Fossil Fuels and Our Life化石燃料與我們的生活

Oil and natural gas are an important part of everyday life.Not only do they give us mobility, they heat and cool our homes and provide electricity.石油與天然氣是我們?nèi)粘Ｉ畹闹匾M成部分。它們不僅使我們出行方便,它們還可以使我們的住所冬暖夏涼并且為我們提供電力。

Millions of products are made from oil and gas, including plastics, life-saving medications, clothing, cosmetics, and many other items you may use daily.我們?nèi)粘Ｉ钪械脑S多物品都是由石油和天然氣制成的，如塑料、治病救人的藥品、服裝、化妝品等等。

In the United States, 97% of the energy that drives the transportation sector(cars, buses, subways, railroads, airplanes, etc.)comes from fuels made from oil.在美國，交通運(yùn)輸系統(tǒng)(私人汽車、公共汽車、地鐵、火車、飛機(jī)等)的運(yùn)行所依賴的能源中有97％來自石油煉制的燃料。

Auto manufacturers are developing cars to run on alternative fuels such as electricity, hydrogen and ethanol.However, the electric batteries need to be charged and the fuel to generate the electricity could be oil or gas.雖然汽車制造商們正在研制使用像電、氫氣和乙醇這樣的替代能源作為燃料的汽車，但是，汽車電池需要充電而且電池發(fā)電所用的燃料仍可能是石油或天然氣。

The hydrogen needed for fuel cells could also be generated from natural gas or petroleum-based products.燃料電池所需要的氫氣也可能是由天然氣或石油產(chǎn)品制成的。

Even as alternative fuels are developed, oil will be crucially important to assuring that people can get where they need to be and want to go for foreseeable future.所以，盡管人們在研制開發(fā)替代燃料，在可預(yù)測的將來，能夠確保人們出行便利的重要能源仍然是石油。

In areas of the world that are still developing, businesses and individuals are demanding greater mobility for themselves and their products.在全世界的發(fā)展中地區(qū)，不論企業(yè)還是個人，不論是為了自己方便還是為銷售公司的產(chǎn)品，對交通出行的需求都大大增加。

World vehicle ownership is projected to increase from 122 vehicles per thousand people in 1999 to 144 vehicles per thousand in 2020, with the growth occurring in developing nations.據(jù)預(yù)測世界汽車保有量將由1999年的每千人122輛增加至2020年的每千人144輛，這些增加的部分都是來自發(fā)展中國家。

Airports are being added in these countries as well, expanding jet fuel demand.同樣在這些發(fā)展中國家，由于機(jī)場也在擴(kuò)建，所以航空燃料的需求也在不斷增長。

Oil is expected to remain the primary fuel source for transportation throughout the world for the foreseeable future, and transportation fuels are projected to account for almost 57% of total world oil consumption by 2020.在可預(yù)測的將來，石油仍將是世界各地交通的主要能源，預(yù)計到2020年交通燃料將占全世界石油消耗總量的57％。

World population is currently around 6 billion people, but is expected to grow to approximately 7.6 billion by 2020.目前世界人口為60億，但是到2020年將會增至約76億。

That will mean a huge increase in the demand for transportation fuels, electricity, and many other consumer products made from oil and natural gas.這將意味著人們對石油和天燃?xì)庵瞥傻慕煌ㄈ剂稀㈦娏σ约捌渌M產(chǎn)品需求的大量增加。

4．Where in the world can we see the big increase in car ownership? In the developing world．

5．What will the increase of world population indicate? That will mean a huge increase in the demand for transportation fuels, electricity, and many other consumer products made from oil and natural gas．【練習(xí)題目及參考答案】 A．漢譯英

1．大多數(shù)替代能源不僅可以給我們帶來清潔空氣，它們還是可再生的。Not only do the majority of the alternative energies give us clean air, they are renewable as well.2．許多生活日用品都是由石油制成的。Many of the products we use daily are made from petroleum.3．盡管許多國家在研發(fā)并開始使用不同的替代能源，在未來很長的一段時間化石燃料仍將是占據(jù)主導(dǎo)地位的能源。Though many countries are researching and developing and are applying different alternative energy, fossil fuels will remain crucially important for a long time in future.4．專家預(yù)計北京的汽車占有量將超過每千人200輛。It is estimated(projected)that the car ownership in Beijing will exceed 200 per thousand people.5．在未來幾十年，世界人口仍將持續(xù)增長。這意味著能源需求將進(jìn)一步增加。World population will continue to grow in the next few decades.This will mean an increasing in the demand for energy.B．英譯漢

Energy is available in many forms．Some are renewable such as gravity, which can be converted to hydroelectricity．Another renewable，such as solar energy, can be used directly to heat water and dwellings or be converted into electricity by photovoltaic methods(direct conversion)or by the production of steam using a system of mirror.Solar energy can also be employed indirectly through the force of the wind and waves(an example is the tidal-power station on the Rance in France)or by utilizing the difference in temperature between the surface and bottom of the oceans or between any two points on the Earth's crust.The latter is known as geothermal energy.能源的形式多種多樣。有些能源可再生，如重力勢能可轉(zhuǎn)化為水電。另一種可再生能源，如太陽能可直接用于加熱水和給住房供暖，也可通過光電方法（直接轉(zhuǎn)化）或者利用一組反射鏡系統(tǒng)產(chǎn)生蒸汽而轉(zhuǎn)化成電力。太陽能也可借助風(fēng)和波浪（例如法國蘭斯的潮汐發(fā)電站），或者利用海底和海面或者地殼任意兩點之間的溫差而被間接利用。后者又被稱作地?zé)崮堋?/p>

Other forms of energy are nonrenewable.These include fossil fuels such as coal, oil, oil sand, oil shale and natural gas.These fuels can in fact be considered to be the product of the work of solar energy during millions of years and represent a kind of stored solar energy.其它形式的能源是不可再生的。包括化石燃料如煤、石油、油沙、油頁巖和天然氣。這些燃料其實可看作是經(jīng)過幾百萬年太陽能作用的產(chǎn)物，是一種儲存的太陽能。

10.Carbon Emissions碳排放

The taskis challenging for any fuel source, but particularly so for coal, which produces more carbon dioxide than oil or natural gas.將燃料燃燒排放出的二氧化碳注入地下而不是排放到空氣中這項任務(wù)對于任何一種燃料的碳排放處理都是一件艱巨的工作。尤其對于煤炭來說，這項任務(wù)就更為困難，因為煤炭燃燒比石油和天然氣燃燒所排放出的二氧化碳更多。

Under optimal current conditions, coal produces more than twice as much carbon dioxide per unit of electricity as natural gas, the second most common fuel used for electricity generation.在最佳燃燒狀況下，每發(fā)一個單位電所燃燒煤炭而產(chǎn)生的二氧化碳是燃燒天然氣的兩倍。天然氣是發(fā)電使用的第二大燃料。

In the developing world, where even new coal plants use lower grade coal and less efficient machinery, the equation is even worse.在發(fā)展中國家，情況則更糕，因為那里所使用的煤炭及發(fā)電設(shè)備都是低檔次的。

Without carbon capture and storage, coal cannot be green.But solving that problem will take global coordination and billions of dollars in investment, which no one country or company seems inclined to spend.如果不進(jìn)行碳集合封存，煤炭不可能成為綠色能源。但是解決這一問題不僅需要全球的共同努力，也需要花費數(shù)以十億計甚至更多的投資，而沒有任何一個國家和公司愿意花費這筆投資。

There are a few dozen small demonstration projects in Europe and in the United States, most in the early stages.But progress has not been promising.雖然在歐洲和美國人們?yōu)榇诉M(jìn)行了一些小規(guī)模的試驗項目，但這些項目都剛剛興起，并沒有取得什么實質(zhì)性的進(jìn)展。

The European Union had pledged to develop 12 pilot carbon-capture projects for Europe.Many have likened carbon capture's road from the demonstration lab to a safe, cheap, available reality as a challenge equivalent to putting a man on the moon.歐盟已經(jīng)承諾在歐洲建設(shè)l2個試驗性碳捕獲項目。很多國家也已經(jīng)將碳捕獲這項任務(wù)從實驗室轉(zhuǎn)化為安全、低價的實際應(yīng)用，但他們都把這項任務(wù)比作把人送往月球那么難。

Norway, which is investing heavily to test the technology, calls carbon capture its “moon landing.”挪威正在對此大量投資做技術(shù)測試，他們就把碳捕獲稱為“月球登陸計劃”。

Then there is the problem of storing the carbon dioxide, which is at some level an inherently local issue.碳捕獲之后面臨的問題就是碳封存。碳封存從某種程度上來說則屬于地域問題。

Geologists have to determine if there is a suitable underground site, calculate how much carbon dioxide it can hold and then equip it in a way that prevents leaks and ensures safety.地質(zhì)學(xué)家們需要確定地下是否有合適的地點，計算其對二氧化碳的存儲量，然后再配備設(shè)施防止二氧化碳的泄漏以確保安全。

A large leak of underground carbon dioxide could be as dangerous as a leak of nuclear fuel.地下二氧化碳一旦發(fā)生大量泄漏，就如同核燃料泄漏一樣危險。

1．在很多以煤為主要能源的發(fā)展中國家，減少碳排放是一件極具挑戰(zhàn)的工作。Reducing carbon emission is a great challenge to developing nations where coal is a major source of energy.2．20世紀(jì)末的世界人口是20世紀(jì)六十年代的兩倍。The world population by the end of the 20 century was twice as much as that of the 1960s.3．如果沒有先進(jìn)的技術(shù)，環(huán)境污染無法得以改善。Without advanced technology, environmental pollution could not be improved.4．過量飲食對人體帶來的危害與過量飲酒帶給人體的傷害一樣嚴(yán)重。Excessive eating could be as harmful to health as excessive drinking.5．該公司正在就如何有效減少二氧化碳排放做一項實驗性研究。The company has been working on a pilot study in an effort to cut carbon emission efficiently.B．英譯漢

Many chemical compounds found in the Earth's atmosphere act as “greenhouse gases.”These gases allow sunlight to enter the atmosphere freely．When sunlight strikes the Earth's surface，some of it is reflected back towards space as infrared radiation(heat)．Greenhouse gases absorb this infrared radiation and trap the heal the atmosphere．Over time，the amount of energy sent from the sun to the Earth's surface should be about the same as the amount of energy radiated back into space, leaving the temperature of the Earth's surface roughly constant．地球大氣中的很多化合物都具有“溫室氣體”效果。這些氣體可使太陽的光線沒有任何阻礙地進(jìn)入到大氣中。陽光到達(dá)地球表面時，其中的一部分會變?yōu)榧t外線輻射（即熱量）被反射回太空。溫室氣體吸收這些紅外輻射能量并把熱量圈在大氣當(dāng)中。日復(fù)一日，從太陽發(fā)射到地球表面的能量與反射回太空的能量應(yīng)是相等的，這樣即可使地球表面的溫度基本保持恒定。

Many gases exhibit these“greenhouse”properties．Some of them occur in nature(water vapor, carbon dioxide，methane，and nitrous oxide)，while others are exclusively human-made．許多氣體都具備這些“溫室氣體”的特性。這種氣體就存在于自然界中，如水蒸氣、二氧化碳、甲烷和氮氧化物，而其它的“溫室氣體”則完全是人類制造的。

Levels of several important greenhouse gases have increased by about 25 percent since large-scale industrialization began around l50 years ago．During the past 20 years，about three-quarters of human-made carbon dioxide emissions were from burning fossil fuels．150年前開始的大規(guī)模工業(yè)化使主要溫室氣體的數(shù)量增加了25%。在過去的20年中，由人類活動排放的二氧化碳約75%都是由燃燒化石燃料造成的。

World carbon dioxide emissions are expected to increase by l.9 percent annually between 2001 and 2025．Much of the increase in these emissions expected to occur in the developing world where emerging economies，such China and India．fuel their economic development with fossil energy．Developing countries' emissions are expected to grow above the world average at 2.7 percent annually between 2001 and 2025．人們預(yù)測2010年至2025年全球二氧化碳排放將會以1.9%的年增長率增加。這其中大部分的增長將會發(fā)生在以燃燒化石能源促進(jìn)經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展的新興經(jīng)濟(jì)體中，例如中國和印度。2001年至2025年這些發(fā)展中國家的碳排放將會以平均每年2.7%的比例增長，這個數(shù)字大大超過了世界的年平均增長率。

th11.Marine Pollution海洋污染

By the year 2050 it is estimated that the world's population could have increased to around 9 billion.到2050年，估計世界人口可能會增加到l20億。

Of these, some 60 percent will live within 60km of the sea.The agricultural and industrial activities required to support this population will increase the already significant pressures on fertile coastal areas.其中大約有60％的人口居住在距離海洋60公里的范圍內(nèi)。為養(yǎng)活這些人口而進(jìn)行的農(nóng)業(yè)和工業(yè)活動將會加大富饒的沿海地區(qū)已面臨的巨大壓力。

One significant impact of human activity is marine pollution.The most visible and familiar is oil pollution caused by tanker accidents and tank washing at sea.人類活動產(chǎn)生的一個重大影響是海洋污染。最顯而易見和為人熟知的是油輪事故和在海洋里清洗油箱所造成的油污染。

Despite the scale and visibility of such impacts, the total quantities of pollutants entering the sea from the long line of catastrophic oil spills appeared small compared with those of pollutants introduced directly and indirectly from other sources(including domestic sewage, industrial discharges, leakages, urban and industrial run-off, accidents, spillages, explosions, sea dumping operations, oil production, mining, agriculture nutrients and pesticides, waste heat sources, and radioactive discharges).雖然這些影響有一定的規(guī)模、且顯而易見，但是，與其它直接和間接的海洋污染源(包括民用污水、工業(yè)排放物、廢料堆泄漏、都市和工業(yè)污染排放物、事故、泄漏、爆炸、向海洋傾泄垃圾的行為、石油生產(chǎn)、采礦、依業(yè)肥料和殺蟲劑、熱源廢料和放射性排放物)相比，一系列油輪發(fā)生災(zāi)難性油泄漏而造成的海洋污染物質(zhì)總量還是顯得很少。

Nutrient pollution from sewage discharges and agriculture can result in unsightly and possibly dangerous “blooms” of algae in coastal waters.污水排放物和農(nóng)業(yè)生產(chǎn)所造成的肥料污染使海岸水域里的藻類開出難看而且可能危險的花朵。

As these blooms die and decay they use up the oxygen in the water.This led, in some areas, to “creeping dead zones”.這些花朵死亡和腐爛將耗盡水里的氧氣，使這些地區(qū)變成了“逐漸蔓延的死亡區(qū)”。

Radioactive pollution has many causes, including the normal operation of nuclear power stations.放射性污染有很多原因，包括正常運(yùn)轉(zhuǎn)的核電站。

Radioactive elements traceable to reprocessing can be found in seaweeds as far away as the West Greenland Coast.遠(yuǎn)在格陵蘭島西部海岸的海草里都能發(fā)現(xiàn)核燃料再處理所產(chǎn)生的放射性元索。

Trace metal pollution from metal mining, production and processing industries can damage the health of marine plants and animals and render some sea foods unfit for human consumption.金屬采礦、生產(chǎn)和加工所造成的微量金屬污染會損害海洋植物和動物的健康，使一些海產(chǎn)品不再適合人類食用。

13.Market Economy市場經(jīng)濟(jì)

There are pros and cons for command and market economies.計劃經(jīng)濟(jì)和市場經(jīng)濟(jì)各有利弊。

Let's look at the command economy first.The foundation of it is that it is directed and controlled by a centralize government.首先我們來看一下計劃經(jīng)濟(jì)。計劃經(jīng)濟(jì)的基礎(chǔ)是由中央集權(quán)的政府指導(dǎo)和控制。

A command economy means that the government is involved in every step.There are other downsides to a command economy.計劃經(jīng)濟(jì)意味著政府涉足經(jīng)濟(jì)生活的每一步。計劃經(jīng)濟(jì)還有其它的負(fù)面影響。

Often factories don't meet quotas, needs are underestimated, and a product could sell too quickly, and so on.工廠經(jīng)常會達(dá)不到配額，市場的需求會被低估，一種產(chǎn)品可能會很快銷售一空等等。

Basically things have to be adjusted.Production and prices might have to be increased or decreased;there might be restrictions on the number of items a person could buy.總的來說必須做出調(diào)整：產(chǎn)品和價格可能不得不或升或降；也可能會限制人們購買產(chǎn)品的數(shù)量等等。

Now let's look at the market economy.That means private enterprise with the government not making the decisions.現(xiàn)在我們來看一下市場經(jīng)濟(jì)。這意味著企業(yè)私有制而政府并不能為它們做任何決定。

Here's how it works.We'll use the example of clothing.Maybe somebody – say Jack – decides to open a company making clothes.He designs and makes them fashionable so people will want to buy and wear them.If the clothes become popular then Jack can increase the price and keep increasing it.我們用服裝行業(yè)的例子來說明它的運(yùn)行方式。假如某人，我們就叫他杰克，決定開一家服裝制造公司。他設(shè)計和制造時尚的服裝，使人們愿意購買和穿著。如果服裝受歡迎，杰克會提高價格，并維持價格的攀升。

By doing this Jack can make more profit and or expand his business to make even more money.At the same time other people will have noticed how well he is doing and will start up new businesses in competition.通過這種方式，杰克可獲取更大的利滑?；蛘咄ㄟ^擴(kuò)展業(yè)務(wù)，創(chuàng)造更多的財富。與此同時，別人將注意到他做的很優(yōu)秀，于是這些人將創(chuàng)辦新的企業(yè)與杰克競爭。

This way prices will level off or even come down because people will buy the thing costing less.這樣價格將穩(wěn)定下來，甚至可能降低，因為人們都愿意買更便宜的衣服。

The companies will have to cut costs, and perhaps do with less profit to stay in business.In this case the market economy is the way to go.各家公司將不得不降低成本、減少利潤，使自己在行業(yè)內(nèi)得以生存。在這種情況下，市場經(jīng)濟(jì)才是正確的方向。

With a command economy the government runs everything and everybody, but with a market economy the government supposedly provides assistance only to correct problems that can't be solved by the market.在計劃經(jīng)濟(jì)下，政府掌管每件事和每個人；而在市場經(jīng)濟(jì)下，政府提供幫助來解決市場不能解決的問題。

With a command economy come chronic shortages, inefficiencies.On the other hand, the market economy offers greater opportunities for economic growth, technological progress and prosperity.計劃經(jīng)濟(jì)逐漸導(dǎo)致長期物質(zhì)短缺和效率低下。另一方面，市場經(jīng)濟(jì)能夠更大程度地帶來經(jīng)濟(jì)增長、技術(shù)進(jìn)步和社會繁榮的良機(jī)。

閱讀理解【題目及參考答案】

1．What is the role of government in the command economy? The economy is directed，controlled by the centralized government．

2．What might be restricted in the command economy? How much of an item a person can buy．

3．What is the market economy? Market economy means private enterprise with the government not making the decisions．

當(dāng)今，經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)在商業(yè)方面起著越來越大的作用。商人們清楚地認(rèn)識到研究工作的重要性，他們需要通過研究來發(fā)現(xiàn)什么樣的條件有助予出售他們的商品，對他們的商品有什么需求，以及能夠得到什么樣的國際市場等等。Economics play an increasingly important part in business today.Businessmen see clearly the necessity for research.They need research to discover what sort of conditions will help them sell their goods, what demand there will be for their goods, what foreign markets will be available and so on.B．英譯漢

Globalization is a fact of life．But we have underestimated its fragility．The problem is this．The spread of markets grow faster than the ability of societies and their political systems to adjust to them．Let alone to guide the course they take.History teaches us that such an imbalance between the economic, social and political realms can never be sustained for very long．全球化已成為無法回避的事實。但是我們低估了它的脆弱。問題就在于此，市場的快速擴(kuò)展已超出了社會及其政治制度適應(yīng)其發(fā)展的能力，更談不上引導(dǎo)市場發(fā)展的進(jìn)程。歷史的經(jīng)驗告訴我們：這種經(jīng)濟(jì)、社會和政治領(lǐng)域的不平衡絕不會持續(xù)很久。

The industrialized countries learned that lesson in their bitter and costly encounter with the Great Depression．In order to restore social harmony and political stability, they adopted social safety nets and other measures．That insured possible successive moves towards globalization，which brought about the long-period of expansion．工業(yè)化國家在遭遇經(jīng)濟(jì)大蕭條時付出了慘重、昂貴的代價，因此而吸取了教訓(xùn)。為了恢復(fù)社會和諧、政治穩(wěn)定，他們采用了社會安全體系和其它一些措施，確保了不斷邁向經(jīng)濟(jì)全球化而帶來的長期市場擴(kuò)張。

14.CPI消費者物價指數(shù)

If the CPI, Consumer Price Index was 2.1% in a country, what does that mean? In a nutshell, it means that consumers in that country paid 2.1% more than in the previous year for the goods and services included in the CPI basket.如果某個國家的消費者物價指數(shù)為2.l％，那意味著什么?簡單地說，這意味著這個國家的消費者為消費者物價指數(shù)籃子里的商品及服務(wù)的支出比上一年多了2.1％。

Although prices of goods and services rise and fall over time, when prices change too dramatically, they can have negative effects on an economy.雖然商品和服務(wù)的價格隨時間而上下波動，但是如果價格變動幅度過大，則會給經(jīng)濟(jì)帶來負(fù)面影響。

In order to tell if an economy is experiencing inflation, deflation or stagflation, we use the CPI as a gauge of the price of goods and services.為了說明經(jīng)濟(jì)是否正在經(jīng)歷通貨膨脹、通貨緊縮或者是滯脹，我們把CPI作為衡量商品及服務(wù)價格的尺度。

When the Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistic releases the CPI date monthly, the CPI's result are widely anticipated and watched.勞工部勞動數(shù)據(jù)統(tǒng)計局每月公布CPI數(shù)據(jù)的時候，很多人都期待并關(guān)注CPI結(jié)果。

Who would eagerly await the results, you might ask? Well, the CPI plays an important role for many key financial decision makers, including individual investors, the Central Banks and the Federal Reserve in the U.S.你或許會問什么人會熱切地等待著這些結(jié)果?CPI對許多重要的財政決策者來說起著重要的作用，其中包括個人投資者、中央銀行和美國聯(lián)邦貯備銀行。

The CPI helps central banks forecast the interest-rate policy and other decisions of major banks and corporations.CPI幫助中央銀行預(yù)測主要銀行和企業(yè)的利息政策和其它決策。

I mentioned the CPI basket before and now I want to expand on what this basket is and how we get the information.前面提到過CPI籃子，現(xiàn)在我想進(jìn)一步說明一下這個籃子是什么，以及我們?nèi)绾潍@取信息。

The base-year market basket, which makes up the CPI, comes from detailed expenditure information collected from surveys of thousands of families.組成CPI的基本年度市場籃子是在調(diào)查了成千上萬戶家庭的詳細(xì)支出信息之后得出的。

The information is not randomly collected, instead, the information is gathered through interviews and diaries kept by participants who have agreed to disclose their buying habits.這些信息不是隨機(jī)搜集來的，而是通過對那些愿意公開自己購買習(xí)慣的消費者所進(jìn)行采訪和記錄中得到的信息。

The basket is divided into eight groups: food and beverages, housing, apparel, transportation, medical care, recreation, education and communication, and other goods and services, and includes more than 200 categories.基本籃子可分為8個組，包括了200多個種類，食品和飲料、住宅、服裝、交通工具、醫(yī)療、休閑、教育和通訊以及其它商品的服務(wù)。

Finally, the prices of 80,000 items in the market basket are collected monthly from thousands of retail stores, service establishments, rental units, and doctors' offices.最后，市場籃子中的8萬件物品的價格是從成千上萬個零售商店、服務(wù)部門、租賃店、診所等的每個月匯總中得來的。

【練習(xí)題目及參考答案】 A．漢譯英

20世紀(jì)30年代的大蕭條(Great Depression)對大部分的美國人產(chǎn)生了巨大的影響。工廠倒閉，工人失業(yè)，公司和銀行破產(chǎn)，農(nóng)民不能償付貸款并失去了他們的農(nóng)場，他們中的許多人只能離開家鄉(xiāng)去尋找工作。20世紀(jì)30年代的大蕭條不僅影響了美國，它把整個世界都攪亂了。The Great Depression of the 1930s had a profound(serious)effect on most of the population of the United States.Factories closed and workers were out of work;businesses and banks collapsed;farmers could not repay their loans and lost their farms.Many of them had to leave their farms to search for jobs(look for jobs).The Great Depression of 1930s didn't only affect the USA alone but turned the whole world upside down.B．英譯漢

Social assistance is considered a job，which is correct．This sector, accounting for 6 percent of all jobs in this country, is made up of firms and organizations that have goals that go beyond making money．Their goal is to improve the quality and accessibility of their products in addition to increasing the quality of life of their members and employees，by educating and training them．社會援助被看作是一個職業(yè)，這是正確的。這個領(lǐng)域占該國所有就業(yè)機(jī)會的6%，是由一些不以盈利為目的的公司和組織構(gòu)成的。他們的主要目標(biāo)是通過教育和培訓(xùn)的方式提高他們的成員或雇員的生活質(zhì)量。此外，還要提升他們的產(chǎn)品質(zhì)量和可獲性。

Many of these companies focus more specifically on helping build basic job skills in the most needy peopleand is making it possible to unleash supercomputing power on everyday tasks：analyzing a city's traffic patterns，for example，to predict where jams will crop up．我們需要從兩個方面來理解這一平臺。第一個方面與處理能力及數(shù)據(jù)存儲有關(guān)——這部分功能已經(jīng)從個人電腦轉(zhuǎn)移到了大型的中央集成數(shù)據(jù)中心。它將使數(shù)據(jù)處理形成產(chǎn)業(yè)化規(guī)模并使超級計算機(jī)能力可以被用于日常工作：比如，分析某個城市的交通模式，以便預(yù)測哪個地點會發(fā)生交通堵塞。

The second part lies in the billions of intelligent personal devicescapable of plugging into this centralized computing resource via the internet．That means individuals(and not just companies or governments)will be able to take advantage of these information“clouds”．第二個方面是，數(shù)十億臺智能個人設(shè)備——如智能手機(jī)、上網(wǎng)本——能夠通過互聯(lián)網(wǎng)接入這一集中化計算資源。這意味著，個人（而不僅僅是企業(yè)或政府）將能夠利用這些信息“云”。

So where does this lead us? Two broad predictions spring to mind．0ne is that making so much information and processing power available at very low cost will produce new breakthroughs．Science，for instance，could be revolutionized，as researchers gain access to previously unimaginable amounts of data and develop ways to cross-refer between disciplines．那么，它將帶領(lǐng)我們走向何方？我腦海中閃現(xiàn)了兩個寬泛的預(yù)測。一個是，使人們能以非常低的成本獲得如此多的信息與處理能力，將會帶來新的突破。例如，科學(xué)領(lǐng)域可能會發(fā)生徹底的變革，因為研究人員能夠獲取之前難以想象的海量數(shù)據(jù)，并且研發(fā)出在各學(xué)科之間相互指引參照的方法。

The second prediction is that personal computing devices will become super smart as they are able to draw on the intelligence of the “cloud”．Already，Google is talking about adding instantaneous voice translation to its phones．第二個預(yù)測是，個人計算設(shè)備將變得超級智能，因為它們可以利用“云”的智能。谷歌已經(jīng)開始討論在其手機(jī)中加入同步語音翻譯功能。

The big changes represented by these computing shifts may not be complete by the end of this decadewe won't do much about it.全球變暖或許是也或許不是21世紀(jì)的環(huán)境大危機(jī)。但不管是與否，我們都不會采取什么措施。

We will argue over it and may even, as a nation, make some fairly solemn-sounding commitments to avoid it.我們會對其爭論不休，甚至作為一個國家發(fā)表一些聽起來莊重的誓言來避免全球變暖。

But the more dramatic and meaningful these commitments seem, the less likely they are to be observed.但這些誓言聽起來越激動人心、越意味深長，實現(xiàn)它們的可能性卻越小。

A1 Gore, former US Vice President, calls global warming an “inconvenient truth,” as if merely recognizing it could put us on a path to a solution.美國前副總統(tǒng)戈爾將全球變暖稱作“令人不快的真相”，似乎只要我們認(rèn)識到這個真相就可以找到解決這一問題的途徑。

But the real truth is that we don't know enough to relieve global warming, andwe can't do much about it.但是實際的真相是我們并沒有足夠的能力消除全球變暖；若沒有重大的科技突破，我們根本無能為力。

From 2003 to 2050, the world's population is projected to grow from 6.4 billion to 9.1 billion, a 42% increase.2003年至2050年世界人口預(yù)計將增長42％，即從64億增長至91億。

if energy use per person and technology remain the same, total energy use and greenhouse gas emissions(mainly,CO2)will be 42% higher in 2050.如果人均消耗能源和科技水平不變，到2050年，能源消耗總量和溫室氣體排放將增加42％。

But that's too low, because societies that grow richer use more energy.但是這只是一個保守數(shù)字，因為社會的進(jìn)步和富足意味著更多的能源消耗。

We need economic growth unless we condemn the world's poor to their present poverty and freeze everyone else's living standards.經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展是必需的，除非不再提高人們的生活水準(zhǔn)，讓世界上的貧困人口永遠(yuǎn)過貧窮的生活。

With modest growth, energy use and greenhouse emissions more than double by 2050.但即使經(jīng)濟(jì)保守地發(fā)展，到2050年，能源消耗及溫室氣體排放也會增加一倍多。

No government will adopt rigid restrictions on economic growth and personal freedom(limits on electricity usage, driving and travel)that might cut back global warming.任何政府都不會采取剛性的措施限制經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展和個人自由(如：限制用電量、開車出行、外出旅行等)，盡管這樣的措施會減緩全球變暖。

Still, politicians want to show they're “doing something” Consider the Kyoto Protocol.It allowed countries that joined to punish those that didn't.But it hasn't reduced CO2 emissions, and many signatories didn't adopt tough enough policies to hit their 2008-2012 targets.但是政治家們依然想證明他們沒有對全球變暖“置之不理”。“京都議定書”就是個實例。其中規(guī)定所有簽約國家有權(quán)利懲罰那些非簽約國。但是“京都議定書”并沒有使二氧化碳的排放有所減少，況且很多簽約國也并沒有采取足夠嚴(yán)厲的措施以實現(xiàn)2008—2010年碳排放目標(biāo)。

The practical conclusion is that if global warming is a potential disaster, the only solution is new technology.Only an aggressive research and development program might find ways of breaking our dependence on fossil fuels or dealing with it.我們得出的現(xiàn)實的結(jié)論就是如果全球變暖是一場潛在的災(zāi)難，解決全球變暖的唯一辦法是新技術(shù)。只有靠我們大力的研究和技術(shù)開發(fā)才能使我們打破對化石燃料的依賴或找到應(yīng)對全球變暖的方法。

全球氣候變暖主要是由于人們焚燒化石礦物以生成能量時所產(chǎn)生的二氧化碳等多種溫室氣體導(dǎo)致。全球平均氣溫總體看為上升趨勢。進(jìn)入20世紀(jì)八十年代后，全球氣溫明顯上升。全球變暖的后果，會使全球降水量重新分配（reallocation），冰川消融，海平面上升，既危害自然生態(tài)系統(tǒng)的平衡，更威脅人類的食物供應(yīng)和居住環(huán)境。Global warming is primarily caused by the carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases from the burning of fossil fuels for energy by humans.The global average temperature is generally on a rise.We’ve seen a significant rise in global temperature since the 1980s.Global warming will result in the reallocation of global rainfall, the melting of glaciers, and the rise of see level.This will damage the balance of the ecosystem and threaten food supply and the living condition for human beings.B．英譯漢

As the biggest environmental meeting in history opens in Copenhagen, the scientific case for a global agreement to fight man-made climate change remains overwhelming.The furor over alleged data manipulation, following the theft of e-mails from the University of East Anglia, has stirred up the skeptics(and shaken some scientists)but Climategate does not alter the real issue – that, despite many uncertainties, the risks of catastrophic change justify decisive global action to cut carbon emissions.在有史以來規(guī)模最大的環(huán)境會議在哥本哈根開幕之際，以科學(xué)為依據(jù)，達(dá)成一項以應(yīng)對人為造成的氣候變化的全球協(xié)議勢在必行。英國東英吉利大學(xué)的電子郵件被盜后，引發(fā)所謂數(shù)據(jù)操縱的轟動，讓懷疑者振奮，也動搖了某些科學(xué)家的觀點，但“氣候門”并未改變真正的議題，即盡管存在眾多不確定性，但地球氣候發(fā)生災(zāi)難性變化的種種風(fēng)險，意味著有必要采取果斷的全球行動，減少碳排放。

While political realities will not allow the negotiators to conclude a full-scale treaty in Copenhagen, they need to put in place the mechanisms to agree a binding deal next year.The conference must achieve a spirit of genuine progress – over and above the inevitable horse-trading and political fudging – which will convince not only politicians but also billions of individuals around the world that the fight against global warming is worth joining.Business planning, too, requires a predictable path to a decarbonized global economy.盡管政治現(xiàn)實不允許談判者在哥本哈根達(dá)成一項全面條約，但他們需要落實相關(guān)機(jī)制，以便在明年達(dá)成一個有約束力的協(xié)定。本次會議必須超越不可避免的討價還價和政治作勢并獲得實質(zhì)性進(jìn)展，讓世界各地的政界人士乃至數(shù)十億人相信：抗擊全球變暖是一項值得投入的事業(yè)。就商業(yè)規(guī)劃而言，也需要一條通向全球低碳經(jīng)濟(jì)的可預(yù)測的路徑。

Copenhagen has to make progress on several complex issues: emissions targets for developing and developed countries;financing adaptation and mitigation in poorer nations;technology transfer arrangements;and a governance structure to ensure compliance with agreed carbon targets.It would make sense to decant the more successful outcomes of Kyoto, such as its monitoring mechanism, into a new agreement – carefully relabelled, of course, for US consumption.哥本哈根會議必須在多個復(fù)雜的問題上取得進(jìn)展：針對發(fā)展中國家和發(fā)達(dá)國家的排放指標(biāo)；資助較貧窮國家的適應(yīng)與緩解措施；技術(shù)轉(zhuǎn)讓安排；以及一個管治架構(gòu)，確保商定的碳排放指標(biāo)得到遵守。應(yīng)當(dāng)傳承《京都協(xié)議書》比較成功的成果，比如其監(jiān)督機(jī)制，使之成為一份新的協(xié)定，當(dāng)然還要經(jīng)過精心的考慮措施，讓美國能夠接受。

20.Alternate Energies替代能源

There is a lot of energy that we can harness if we only seek to research and develop the technologies needed to do so.We can get away from the fossil fuels and the old electrical grids by turning to alternatives to these energy sources.只要我們努力去研究和開發(fā)所需技術(shù)，有很多能源都可供我們利用。我們完全可以遠(yuǎn)離化石能源和老式電網(wǎng)，去使用這些替代能源。

One of these alternative energy resources is wind power.Wind turbines continue to be developed that are progressively more energy efficient and less costly.這些替代能源之一就是風(fēng)能。人們不斷開發(fā)改進(jìn)風(fēng)力渦輪發(fā)電機(jī)使其更加節(jié)能也越來越便宜。

“Wind farms” have been springing up in many nations, and they have even become more strategically placed over time so that they are not jeopardizing birds as former wind turbines did.在很多國家建立起越來越多的“風(fēng)電廠”。而且，考慮到以前的風(fēng)力渦輪對鳥類造成了危害，人們在設(shè)置這些新的風(fēng)力發(fā)電機(jī)時也更加注意了策略性。

Another alternative energy resource is the one that is most well known: solar energy.This involves the manufacturing of solar cells which gather and focus the energy given off directly by the sun, and translate it into electricity or, in some cases, hot water.As with wind energy, solar energy creates absolutely zero pollution.另外一種替代能源是為大家廣泛熟知的太陽能。太陽能技術(shù)需要生產(chǎn)太陽能電池來聚集并收集太陽光發(fā)出的能量，并將其轉(zhuǎn)變成電能或有時提取熱水。和風(fēng)能一樣，太陽能是零污染能源。

Ocean wave energy is seen by governments and investors as having enormous energy generating potential.海洋潮汐能是被很多國家和投資商看好的擁有巨大潛力的能源。

A generator in France has been in operation for many years now and is considered to be a great success, and the Irish and Scots are running experimental facilities.在法國已經(jīng)有一個潮汐發(fā)電設(shè)施在運(yùn)行發(fā)電，幾年的運(yùn)行使用證明這項技術(shù)是成功的。愛爾蘭和蘇格蘭目前也正在測試他們的潮汐能發(fā)電設(shè)施。

Hydroelectric power has been with us for a while and where it is set up, it is a powerful generator of electricity and cleaner than a grid.水力發(fā)電已經(jīng)為人類使用了相當(dāng)一段時間了，水力發(fā)電廠可以產(chǎn)生很多電能，比電網(wǎng)發(fā)電要更加清潔。

However, there are certain limitations to the availability of the right places to set up a large dam.Many run-of-the-river, or small and localized, hydroelectric generators have been set up in recent times due to this limitation.但是水力發(fā)電存在一定的制約一一不是每個地方都能建造大壩，因此水力發(fā)電并不能被廣泛使用。鑒于這些制約，最近，很多河床式發(fā)電廠，或者小型的水利發(fā)電設(shè)施已在興建。

There is controversy over this fuel with regards to its ever becoming truly economical or practical except in very localized areas, but technologies for its extraction and admixturing are continuously being refined.對于乙醇是否能成為既經(jīng)濟(jì)又實用而且沒有地域局限性的能源仍存在很多爭議，而乙醇的提取和混合的技術(shù)也正在不斷地改進(jìn)。

清潔能源是不排放污染物的能源，它包括核能和“可再生能源”?？稍偕茉词侵缚梢酝ㄟ^自然現(xiàn)象補(bǔ)充的能源，如水力發(fā)電、風(fēng)力發(fā)電、太陽能、生物能、海潮能這些能源?？稍偕茉床淮嬖谀茉春慕叩目赡?，因此日益受到許多國家的重視，尤其是能源短缺的國家。Clean energy refers to energy sources that release zero pollutants.This includes nuclear energy and renewable energies.Renewable energy comes from natural processes that are replenished constantly, hydroelectric power, wind power, solar power, biofuels, tidal power are all renewable energy sources.Renewable energy sources are inexhaustible and therefore have attracted the attention of many countries, especially those with a great shortage of energy sources.B．英譯漢 The term “biomass” refers to organic matter that has stored energy through the process of photosynthesis.It exists in one form as plants and may be transferred through the food chain to animals' bodies and their wastes, all of which can be converted for everyday human use through processes such as combustion, which releases the carbon dioxide stored in the plant material.Many of the biomass fuels used today come in the form of wood products, dried vegetation, crop residues, and aquatic plants.Biomass has become one of the most commonly used renewable sources of energy in the last two decades, second only to hydropower in the generation of electricity.It is such a widely utilized source of energy, probably due to its low cost and indigenous nature, that it accounts for almost 15% of the world's total energy supply and as much as 35% in developing countries, mostly for cooking and heating.“生物質(zhì)”是指通過光合作用儲藏能量的有機(jī)物質(zhì)。它既能以植物的形式存在，也可以通過食物鏈轉(zhuǎn)化到動物的身體和糞便中，通過燃燒提供人們每日所需的能量同時釋放出存在于這些物質(zhì)中的二氧化碳，許多我們現(xiàn)在使用的生物能都來自樹木、干蔬菜、莊稼殘留物以及水生植物。在過去的20年中，生物能是人們最常使用的可再生能源之一，在發(fā)電方面的作用，僅次于水力發(fā)電。生物能的應(yīng)用之所以如此廣泛，主要是因為成本低和其自然屬性。正因如此，在整個世界能源總供給中生物能就占了將近15%，而在發(fā)展中國家這一比例高達(dá)35%，主要用于烹飪（煮飯）和取暖。

There are two issues that affect the evaluation of biomass as a viable solution to our energy problem: the effects of the farming and production of biomass and the effects of the factory conversion of biomass into usable energy or electricity.There are as many environmental and economic benefits as there are detriments to each issue, which presents a difficult challenge in evaluating the potential success of biomass as an alternative fuel.For instance, the replacement of coal by biomass could result in “a considerable reduction in net carbon dioxide emissions that contribute to the greenhouse effect.” On the other hand, the use of wood and other plant material for fuel may mean deforestation.We are all aware of the problems associated with denuding forests, and widespread clear cutting can lead to groundwater contamination and irreversible erosion patterns that could literally change the structure of the world ecology.有兩大因素影響著生物能是否能成為解決能源問題的切實可行的最終方案：有農(nóng)耕和生物質(zhì)產(chǎn)量的因素，還有將生物能轉(zhuǎn)化成可用能源或電力的工廠的因素。就每一個因素而言都存在著許多對環(huán)境和經(jīng)濟(jì)帶來的利益和危害。這就使人們很難將生物能作為最具潛力的替代能源。例如，生物質(zhì)替代煤會大大減少導(dǎo)致溫室效應(yīng)的碳排放，但另一方面，由于使用木材和其它植物材料又會出現(xiàn)采伐森林現(xiàn)象。我們都清楚伐光樹木和植物會帶來什么樣的問題：地下水污染、不可逆轉(zhuǎn)的土壤侵蝕，這些還會導(dǎo)致整個世界生態(tài)系統(tǒng)結(jié)構(gòu)的徹底改變。

21.Biofuels生物燃料

In order to understand the role of biofuels going forward, we need to look at where we are in the evolution of energy – where Edwin Drake's discovery has taken us over 150 years.為了了解生物燃料的未來走向，我們需要搞清楚我們現(xiàn)在正處于能源發(fā)展過程中的哪個階段—150年前埃德溫?德雷克的發(fā)現(xiàn)將我們帶到了這個位置上。

The fact is that our world has become reliant on plentiful supplies of energy and current forecasts put us on course for a rise of anything up to 45% in demand for energy by the year 2030.事實上我們這個世界已經(jīng)變得非常依賴于豐富的能源供應(yīng)；目前的預(yù)測顯示，到2030年我們對能量的需求將增加45％。

Meeting this demand will be tough and it will require investment of at least $1 trillion a year.滿足這個需求將是很艱難的，這將需要每年至少l萬億美元的投資。

So in terms of new fuels, biofuels are the primary means of bringing secure, sustainable, low-carbon fuel to vehicles in the next two decades.因此，就新的燃料而言，生物燃料是在未來20年實現(xiàn)為車輛提供安全、可持續(xù)發(fā)展和低碳排放的主要手段。

Crude oil is proving to be remarkably difficult to substitute.Biofuels are the only viable contender so far.Our projections suggest biofuels should account for up to 20% of the market by 2030the “resource curse.”這樣的實例極其常見，以至于人們給這種現(xiàn)象起了個“資源詛咒”的名字。

Resource curse applies specifically to poor countries that don't have a lot of sources of wealth to begin with, then there's a discovery of a major resourcethat suddenly becomes a major source of wealth for that country.資源詛咒這個說法尤其適合于一開始就沒有什么財富的貧困國家，石油或銅或金礦等重要資源的發(fā)現(xiàn)使得這些資源突然成了這個國家的主要財富來源。

Theoretically the development of that resource could produce great wealth for that nation, but historically it leads to the concentration of wealth in the hands of a fewand the exclusion of the majority from any benefit.理論上講這些資源的開發(fā)會給擁有這一資源的國家?guī)砭薮蟮呢敻?，但是歷史證明這些財富卻集中到了一小部分人的手中——這些人壟斷著收取礦藏和石油的開采費，使得大多數(shù)人不能從這些財富中得到任何利益。

The result is repressive governments that cling to power, so they can monopolize the collection of resource wealth, and an impoverished populationoil or copper or goldnot only dripping from rusty platforms atop the delta waters, but in the water itself, in the air, which smelled of petroleum, and in the gas flares that are a scalding feature of the injured landscape.Because of a host of political and economic ills triggered by the drilling, the Niger Delta is alive not with marine life but with violencecountries with a lot of oil are lucky and rich, right?-a succession of studies show that countries dependent on natural-resource exports experience lower growth rates than countries that have nonresource economies, and they suffer greater amounts of repression and conflict too.The reasons are complex, but in general, a reliance on oil discourages investment in other industries, makes governments less responsive to the desires of citizens and fosters corruption by officials seeking and receiving funds that are not their due.An oil state is, almost by definition, a dysfunctional state.上述國家（還有其它許多國家）所遭受的損害，乃人們稱為“資源詛咒”的種種癥狀。雖然這看起來違反直覺——擁有大量石油的國家是幸運(yùn)和富裕的，不是嗎？——但一系列研究表明，那些依賴自然資源出口的國家，其經(jīng)濟(jì)增長率低于非資源經(jīng)濟(jì)型的國家，同時它們也遭受更大量的鎮(zhèn)壓與沖突。造成這一切的原因很復(fù)雜，但總的來說，對石油的依賴阻礙了對其它產(chǎn)業(yè)的投資，使政府較少顧及國民的需求，而助長了官員中尋求并接受不正當(dāng)資金的腐敗行為。一個石油出產(chǎn)國幾乎可以界定為一個功能失常的國家。

24.Company Management公司管理

Management in an organization can be in different levels.The larger the organization the more levels of management will be needed.公司管理層可以分為不同級別，公司越大，所需要的管理層級也越多。

In general, first-line managers are directly responsible for the production of goods or services.一般來說，第一線經(jīng)理對商品的生產(chǎn)和服務(wù)直接負(fù)責(zé)。

They may be called sales managers, section heads or production supervisors, depending on the organization.根據(jù)企業(yè)的不同情況，他們可能被叫做銷售經(jīng)理、部門負(fù)責(zé)人或者生產(chǎn)監(jiān)督。

Employees who report to them do the organization's basic production work–whether of goods or of services.他們的下級雇員直接進(jìn)行企業(yè)中的基礎(chǔ)的商品生產(chǎn)或服務(wù)工作。

This level of management is the link between the operations of each department and the rest of the organization.這一層的管理是連接部門的經(jīng)營和企業(yè)的其它部門之間的環(huán)節(jié)。

First-line managers in most organizations spend little time with higher management or with people from other organizations.大多數(shù)公司的第一線經(jīng)理極少花時間和高層管理人員或其他企業(yè)的人在一起。

Most of their time is spent with the people they supervise and with other first-line managers.First-line managers usually need strong technical expertise to teach subordinates and supervise their day-to-day tasks.他們的大部分時間都花在與他們所監(jiān)督的人和其他的一線經(jīng)理身上。第一線經(jīng)理通常需要豐富的專業(yè)技術(shù)來指導(dǎo)下屬并監(jiān)督他們的日常工作。

As an organization grows, however, so do its problems.Some managers at larger organizations must focus on coordinating employee activities, determining which products or services to provide, and deciding how to market these products or services to customers.隨著企業(yè)的不斷成長，管理上就相應(yīng)出現(xiàn)一些難題。有些大企業(yè)的經(jīng)理必須集中精力來協(xié)調(diào)雇員的活動，確定生產(chǎn)什么產(chǎn)品或提供什么服務(wù)，決定如何向顧客推銷這些產(chǎn)品和服務(wù)。

These are the problems of middle managers, who receive broad, general strategies and policies from top managers, and translate them into specific goals and plans for first-line managers to implement.這些是中層經(jīng)理們所面臨的問題。中層經(jīng)理從高層經(jīng)理那兒接受總體的和一般的規(guī)劃和政策，然后把它們分解成具體的目標(biāo)和計劃，交給第一線經(jīng)理們?nèi)嵤?/p>

Middle managers typically have titles such as department head, plant manager, and director of finance.They are responsible for directing and coordinating the activities of first-line managers.中層經(jīng)理通常有這樣一些頭銜：比如部門主任，工廠經(jīng)理和財務(wù)主任等。他們負(fù)責(zé)指導(dǎo)和協(xié)調(diào)第一線經(jīng)理的活動。

Middle managers spend much of their time planning, organizing and leading to enable first-line managers and their subordinates to work as efficiently as possible.中層經(jīng)理用大部分的時間來計劃、組織、領(lǐng)導(dǎo)，以便使第一線的經(jīng)理和他們的部下能夠盡可能高效率地工作。

The overall direction of an organization is the responsibilities of top managers.Typical titles of top managers are chief executive officer, president, executive vice-president and so on.Top managers develop goals, policies, and strategies for the entire organization.高層經(jīng)理的責(zé)任是決定一個企業(yè)的總體方向。高層經(jīng)理的典型頭銜是首席執(zhí)行官、總裁和執(zhí)行副總裁等，高層經(jīng)理為整個企業(yè)制定目標(biāo)、政策和戰(zhàn)略。

They set the goals that are handed down through the hierarchy, eventually reaching each worker.他們確定企業(yè)奮斗目標(biāo)，然后通過逐級下傳，最終到達(dá)每個工人。

【練習(xí)題目及參考答案】 A．漢譯英

每個企業(yè)都傾盡其力來對付如何組織企業(yè)這一問題。組織結(jié)構(gòu)經(jīng)常需要反映出新的戰(zhàn)略、變化的市場條件以及創(chuàng)新的生產(chǎn)技術(shù)方面的影響。全世界的公司都在重新構(gòu)造自己，以便在當(dāng)今高度競爭的全球環(huán)境中更精干、更有效、更靈活。Every firm wrestles with the problem of how to organize.Reorganization often is necessary to reflect a new strategy, changing market conditions, or innovative production technology.Companies throughout the world are restructuring to become leaner, more efficient and more flexible in today’s highly competitive global environment.B．英譯漢

There are many types of managers and many ways in which managerial jobs differ from each other.One difference is the scope of the activities being managed.The scope of activities performed by general managers is quite broad.經(jīng)理的種類有很多,管理工作之間同樣存在很大差別。其中的一個差別就是管理工作所包含的范圍，公司總經(jīng)理從事的管理工作的范圍涉及面非常廣。

Functional managers supervise employees having expertise in one area, such as accounting, human resources, sales, finance, marketing, or production.For example, the head of a payroll department is a functional manager.That person doesn’t determine employee salaries, as a general manager might, but makes sure that payroll checks are issued on time and in the correct amounts.Usually, functional managers have a great deal of experience and technical expertise in the detailed knowledge they have about the work being done by the people they supervise, the problems those people are likely to face, and the resources they need to perform well.職能部門經(jīng)理通常管理某一專業(yè)領(lǐng)域的員工，如財務(wù)、人力資源、銷售、金融、市場或生產(chǎn)等。薪酬管理部門的主任就是職能部門經(jīng)理。職能部門經(jīng)理不像公司總經(jīng)理那樣有決定員工工資多少的權(quán)利，但是他們必須確保工資準(zhǔn)時準(zhǔn)確發(fā)放。通常而言，職能部門經(jīng)理對所管理部門的工作領(lǐng)域都具有豐富的經(jīng)驗和具體的相關(guān)知識，并且能夠熟知部門員工可能會遇到的問題以及如何把本部門工作做好所需的必要資源。

General Managers are responsible for the operations of a more complex unit, such as a company.Usually they oversee the work of functional managers.General Managers must have a broad range of well-developed competencies to do their jobs well.These competencies can be learned through a combination of formal training and various job assignments, or they can be learned simply in the course of trying to adapt and survive in a chosen area.總經(jīng)理負(fù)責(zé)經(jīng)營一個更加復(fù)雜的實體，比如公司。通常他們監(jiān)督職能部門經(jīng)理的工作?？偨?jīng)理們必須具備多種良好的能力才能把公司管理好。這些能力可以在正規(guī)培訓(xùn)和不同工作實踐中獲取，也可以簡單地在某一領(lǐng)域的實際拼搏中獲得。

25.Recruitment Drives Take Talent from Wide Pool建立多元化人才庫

Widening the pool from which top employers hire graduates when there are not enough jobs to go round smacks of poor timing.在工作崗位不夠分配的當(dāng)下，擴(kuò)充人才庫，以便讓頂尖雇主從中招聘畢業(yè)生，頗有些不合時宜的味道。

But that is the goal that Leading London, an initiative launched by London First, the employers group, and a recruitment consultants, has set itself.但這正是雇主團(tuán)體倫敦發(fā)展局與一家招聘咨詢公司聯(lián)合發(fā)起的“Leading London”項目為自己設(shè)定的目標(biāo)。

The program aims to talent-spot students from diverse backgrounds studying at post-1992 universities(former polytechnics), and introduce them to City employers and blue-chip corporations.該項目旨在物色來自1992后大學(xué)（即過去的技術(shù)學(xué)院）不同專業(yè)的學(xué)生，再把他們介紹給倫敦金融城的雇主和一流企業(yè)。

Advocates of the program say action to promote social mobility has never been more necessary.該項目的倡導(dǎo)者表示，增進(jìn)社會流動性的需求從未如此迫切。

When the economy was booming, employers saw under-represented groups, such as ethnic minorities, lower social income groups and women, as “hidden talent pools”.Now, however, many diversity programs are being squeezed.在經(jīng)濟(jì)繁榮時期，雇主將少數(shù)族裔、社會收入較低的人群、以及女性等弱勢群體視為“隱藏的人才庫”。而如今，許多人才多元化項目都受到擠壓。

Leading London, which has been piloted by London Metropolitan University, uses a novel method to bring potential stars to the attention of the initiative's corporate sponsors.It asks tutors and undergraduates to nominate final year students who have shown enterprise and exceptional leadership.Leading London項目先在倫敦城市大學(xué)試點，邀請導(dǎo)師和在校大學(xué)生推薦那些表現(xiàn)出事業(yè)心和卓越領(lǐng)導(dǎo)力的大四學(xué)生，用這種新穎的方式，讓潛在的杰出人才引起項目的企業(yè)贊助商的關(guān)注。

Supporters argue that diversity is about more than social justice.贊助商們認(rèn)為，多元化的意義不僅僅在于社會公平。

They say companies need diversity of thought to innovate, and employing people with varied life-experiences can help businesses relate to their clients.他們表示，企業(yè)要創(chuàng)新，就需要多元化的思維，而雇用生活經(jīng)歷各不相同的員工，能幫助企業(yè)與客戶良好地溝通。

“If we have a diverse client base, we should also have a diverse workforce,” says Fatimah Gilliam, director of diversity recruitment at Citigroup in New York.花旗集團(tuán)紐約多元化招聘主管法蒂瑪?吉列姆表示：“如果我們的客戶群十分多元化，那我們也應(yīng)該擁有多元化的員工隊伍?！?/p>

How can businesses maximize the payback from diversity initiatives? One answer is by collaborating and spreading the cost of recruitment marketing.企業(yè)怎樣才能將多元化項目的回報最大化呢？一種辦法是進(jìn)行合作，分?jǐn)傉衅竿平榛顒拥馁M用。

This arguably does more to make target groups aware of career opportunities than fragmented initiatives funded by individual employers.相對于由單個雇主資助的獨立項目，這更容易讓目標(biāo)群發(fā)現(xiàn)工作機(jī)會。

HR policy and diversity manager at Allen & Overy, the law firm, says businesses that turn programmes on and off like a tap have got it wrong because a diverse talent pool can only be built through sustained investment.“Coming out of the recession, we need to make sure we have the best people,” she says.安理國際律師事務(wù)所人力資源政策及多元化經(jīng)理表示,那些像擰水龍頭一樣啟動和停止項目的企業(yè)，其做法是錯誤的，因為只有持久的投資，才能建立起多元化的人才庫。她表示：“擺脫衰退后，我們需要確保自己擁有最優(yōu)秀的人才”。

Head of graduate recruitment at KPMG, a sponsor of Leading London, says finding people who excel “both on and off campus” is an important part of the scheme.Overcoming setbacks is a great “transferable skill”.畢馬威(KPMG)是Leading London項目贊助商之一。該公司畢業(yè)生招聘主管表示，物色“校園內(nèi)外”都表現(xiàn)出色的人才，是該計劃的一個重要組成部分。戰(zhàn)勝挫折是一項重要的“通用技能”

Graduate recruitment partner at Herbert Smith, the law firm, says the onus is on companies to push for high standards by asking organisers of programmes such as Leading London: “Out of every hundred candidates who enrol with you, how many are hired by target employers?”密夫律師事務(wù)所畢業(yè)生招聘合伙人表示，企業(yè)有責(zé)任高標(biāo)準(zhǔn)要求，詢問Leading London之類的項目組織者：“你登記的求職者中，有百分之幾被目標(biāo)雇主雇用了?”

Sponsors for Educational Opportunity, a non-profit organisation that operates in the US, London and Hong Kong, works to develop interns' interpersonal skills and technical understanding to the point where they outperform their peers.非營利組織“教育的機(jī)會”的發(fā)起者們努力培養(yǎng)實習(xí)生的人際關(guān)系能力和技術(shù)理解力，使他們超越自己的同齡人。該組織在美國、倫敦和香港都設(shè)有分支機(jī)構(gòu)。

“An internship is effectively a 10-week interview,” says executive director of SEO London.“When our interns start their internships, their industry knowledge is far higher than you would normally expect.” SEO London執(zhí)行董事表示：“實習(xí)實際上就是一次為期10周的面試。我們的實習(xí)生開始實習(xí)生活時，他們的行業(yè)知識要遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)高出你通常的預(yù)期”。

Last year, SEO London's partner banks, which include Goldman Sachs, Citi, JPMorgan Chase and Morgan Stanley, each took an average of 18 SEO interns(16 this year)and more than 80 per cent were offered permanent positions.去年，高盛、花旗、摩根大通和摩根士丹利等SEO London的銀行合作伙伴，平均各接收了l8名SE0的實習(xí)生(今年為16名)，其中八成以上最后都得到了永久性的職位。

26.Tips for Job Seekers找工作的秘訣

You're in-between jobs and you want to be productive in the meantime.Here are seven ways to keep yourself busy.如果你目前正處在找工作階段而且期望在此期間有所收獲的話，下面就是一些可以讓你忙碌起來的方法。

Get a short-term continuing education.Enroll in academic modules or attend seminars related to your field.參加一些短期繼續(xù)教育培訓(xùn)。你可以報名參加模塊式學(xué)術(shù)培訓(xùn)或與你的領(lǐng)域相關(guān)的學(xué)術(shù)研討會。

For example, if you're into sales, be on the lookout for seminars that teach you how to negotiate or how to handle sales objections.You don't always have to spend just to build your skills.比如，如果你是做銷售的，你就可以找一些有關(guān)如何談判或怎樣實現(xiàn)銷售目標(biāo)這樣的研討會。要知道提升技能并不一定要花錢。

Search the net for free study modules.Be on the look out for free workshops in the newspapers.Check bulletin boards and announcements.你可以在網(wǎng)上找到免費的學(xué)習(xí)模塊，也可以在報紙上找到不收費的研討會學(xué)習(xí)信息。布告欄和廣播都是你發(fā)現(xiàn)這些學(xué)習(xí)信息的來源。

You'll be surprised at the wealth of educational events you can attend without having to compromise your financial situation.只要你去找，你就會發(fā)現(xiàn)你可以不花一分錢就能找到豐富的學(xué)習(xí)資源和機(jī)會。

Freelance.You don't need to be employed to earn a living especially if you are in the service business like writing, graphic designing, interior decorating, etc.做一名自由職業(yè)者。謀生并不一定非要找個老板，這種情況尤其適合那些從事服務(wù)行業(yè)的人群，比如：作家、繪畫設(shè)計、室內(nèi)裝修等等。

Freelancing is also one of the best ways to market yourself.When you do projects for a lot of people, you'll widen your network of clients and possible future employers.從事自由職業(yè)還是一個推銷自己的最好方式。在你為很多人做項目的同時，你也拓寬了你的客戶網(wǎng)，說不定這些客戶當(dāng)中會有你將來的老板呢。

Before advertising vacancies, people usually tend to hire people whom they are already acquainted with.在發(fā)布招聘廣告前，人們一般會先考慮聘用他們熟悉的人。

If you are well-liked by the people you work with and you give good value for their money, you'll be certain to get an interesting job offer when the right time comes.如果你被客戶所欣賞，合作時又讓他們物有所值，當(dāng)合適的時機(jī)到來時，你肯定會收到一份滿意的工作邀請。

Learn a new skill.Explore your talents and get into new interests.Play with your creativity.學(xué)一門新手藝?？梢匀ラ_發(fā)一下你的天賦和全新的興趣。施展你的創(chuàng)造力。

Learn how to make scented candles, teddy bears or do floral arrangements.The important thing is to spend your time productively and to have fun.你可以學(xué)學(xué)如何去制作香燭、泰迪熊，或?qū)W學(xué)插花。不論你做什么，重要的是把時間花得有成效、有意義。

Then, explore the possibility of going into business with your new skills.Some of the most successful ventures started out as hobbies.掌握了這門新技術(shù)之后，你就可以考慮在這一行找份工作了。要知道有一些最成功的企業(yè)就是從業(yè)余愛好開始起步的。

People who enjoy what they're doing, or those who treat work like play tend to be good at what they do.Even if you find a job later on, you can still moonlight your new skills.享受工作或把工作當(dāng)成樂趣的人一般都會把工作做好。即使在將來找到了新工作，你也可以把這門新手藝當(dāng)做第三職業(yè)去做。

Keep up a proactive job search.These days, it's hard to find a job.More often, you might find yourself sending a lot of applications than you are receiving replies.要不斷主動地尋找工作機(jī)會。現(xiàn)在找工作不是一件容易的事。大多數(shù)時候你寄出去的求職信要遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)多于你所收到的回復(fù)。

If that happens, don't despair.The best opportunities usually come to those who make the biggest effort.不要因此灰心，因為最好的機(jī)會永遠(yuǎn)惠顧做好最充分準(zhǔn)備的人。

Don't tire in regularly sending applications and searching various mediums for job opportunities.也不要因不斷地寄求職信和在媒體上搜索工作空缺職位而煩惱。

Search online recruitment sites.Build your portfolio and knock on company doors.You'll never know when you'll hit the mark.嘗試一下招聘網(wǎng)站。設(shè)計自己的求職宣傳冊并親自到不同的公司做一下自我推銷，說不定哪一天你想要的工作就在那兒等著你呢。

第三篇：中石化職稱考試習(xí)題

第一部分

通用英語（習(xí)題歸類）

一、閱讀理解：

(一)How to be Happy如何獲得幸福 In the past two weeks 過去兩周我們研究了一項幸福公式，這是由樂觀心理學(xué)家馬丁.塞里格曼定義的。在這個公式中，H（幸福）=S（個人生理幸福感受的固定指數(shù)）+C（個人生活狀態(tài)）+（個人主觀選擇）。本周我們將著眼于能提升幸福指數(shù)的生活狀態(tài)。第一步：平和安靜

Jonathon Haidit in his excellent 喬納森.海迪在他的優(yōu)秀著作《幸福假說》當(dāng)中提到，研究調(diào)查顯示，我們不可能完全適應(yīng)噪音污染，無論是新近的還是長期的。巨大噪音會引發(fā)我們面對恐懼的某種本能反應(yīng)（另一種時對于墜落的恐懼）。如果周遭噪音喧鬧，我們不可能完全放松。每日保持平和與寧靜事關(guān)重要。如果你不幸生活在比較嘈雜吵得環(huán)境中，請一定要堅持去居委會投訴。另外，嘗試使用耳塞，可能會緩解噪聲。如果需要大音量看電視、聽收音機(jī)或放音樂的話，記得帶上耳機(jī)，別影響鄰里，這樣可以使雙方都感到舒適。第二步：人際關(guān)系

This is the most important 這是增加幸福指數(shù)的一條至關(guān)重要的外部條件。我們感到不快樂的最深層原因，往往就是人際關(guān)系欠佳。與搭檔或者愛人的關(guān)系陷入激烈的沖突中，會讓我們感覺到背叛和遺棄的感覺。父母和孩子之間如果缺乏同情心和無私關(guān)懷，會產(chǎn)生隔閡和痛苦。當(dāng)我們面臨這類問題時，最好的辦法是直視難題，修復(fù)關(guān)系，或者學(xué)著繼續(xù)前進(jìn)。第三步：分享

If you have discovered conditions 如果你發(fā)覺生活狀態(tài)或做的某項決定對幸福生活有重大幫助的話，記得與你的朋友分享。將有用的發(fā)現(xiàn)和更多人分享，這對增進(jìn)自己的幸福和他人的幸福都有積極的作用。問題：

What’s the happiness formula according to the passage？The formula refers to H=S+C+V Why can we never completely adapt to?

Loud noises trigger one of our most primitive fear responses and we can never fully relax if we are surrounded by intrusive noise.How could we make both ourselves and the ?.If we need our TV,radio or music up loud,wearing headphones demonstrateasour kindness and consideration to our neighbors.Where does the unhappiness come from? Our unhappiness ofen comes from poor relationships with others.What is the positive way to face with the cruelly?

What you can to do is to either mend the relationship by confronting what is going wrong or learn to move on.（二）City Design城市設(shè)計

When I’m being driven through a city from 當(dāng)我從旅館乘車穿行城市前往會議中心時，映入眼簾的是無處不在的汽車和停車場。全世界的城市陷入了困境，數(shù)以百計的城市日常生活的質(zhì)量正在不斷下降。在一些城市，每天呼吸空氣等于抽兩包香煙。每天上班族驅(qū)車時因為街道和道路堵塞而寸步難行，耽擱的時間逐年升高，郁悶也隨之加深。

In response to these conditions,we are seeing 這對上述情況，我們可以看到一種新城市主義理念正在興起。在短短的幾年內(nèi)，許多城市的人行道不再允許停車，新建和改造了更多的停車場，建立了一套以公共汽車為基礎(chǔ)的極為成功的快速運(yùn)行系統(tǒng)，興建了數(shù)百公里的自行車道和步行街，高峰時段的交通擁擠的以緩解，種植了更多的樹木，并吸收當(dāng)?shù)厥忻裰苯訁⑴c社區(qū)的改善工作。城市設(shè)計以人為本的理念使這些城市的生活質(zhì)量有了很大的提高。

Now government planners everywhere are experimenting 現(xiàn)在，各地政府的規(guī)劃者們都在嘗試尋找為了人而不是為汽車涉及城市的方法。汽車應(yīng)帶給人們活動的便捷。但是在一個不斷城市化的世界里，存在著一個根深蒂固的矛盾，即汽車與城市之間的矛盾。超過一個臨界點之后，隨著汽車數(shù)量的累加，汽車提供的不再是便捷，而是停滯。

Based on this perspective,some cities in industrial 基于這個觀點，無論在發(fā)達(dá)的工業(yè)國家還是發(fā)展中國家，一些城市將會通過遠(yuǎn)離汽車來極大增加市區(qū)的通暢。讓我再次提醒你，城市是為了人，而不是為了汽車建設(shè)的。擠滿汽車的城市就像恐怖的科幻小說里描繪的——全是機(jī)械，沒有人性。為了避免這場災(zāi)難，我們最好開始設(shè)計可持續(xù)發(fā)展的城市。

1、What means of transportation does the author take to the He takes a bus.2、According to the first paragraph what is happening in Cars not only do harm to people’s health but but also cause heavy traffic jam.3、What does the last sentence “the vision of a city designed?..Design cities for people not cars.4、Why is there an inherent conflict between the autommobile Because people depend largely on cars.5、How would a city look like if cars were everywhere? There would be all cars no human.（三）Population人口

A very important world problem is the increasing 在我們這個星球上那個居住的人越來越多，是一個很重要的全球問題。如果繼續(xù)按照現(xiàn)有的增長率發(fā)展下去，那么有限的土地及土地資源很快不能養(yǎng)活這么巨大的人口。So why is this huge increase in population taking 那么為什么會出現(xiàn)人口的大量增長呢？這的確是因為知識的廣泛傳播和眾所周知的“死亡控制”的結(jié)果。毫無疑問，你肯定聽說過“生育控制”這個術(shù)語?！八劳隹刂啤笔谴蟛幌嗤?。它承認(rèn)了醫(yī)生和科學(xué)家的工作，現(xiàn)在他們能夠留住那些患有各種各樣絕癥的病人的生命。而這些絕癥在不久之前還是不可治愈的。通過大范圍的技術(shù)創(chuàng)新，其中包括耕作方法和對絕癥的控制，我們已經(jīng)找到降低死亡率的方法。然而，正是這項成功給人類帶來最大的威脅。If we examine the amount of land available for

如果計算一下維持不斷增長的人口所需的土地量，我們就能意識到這個問題。如果這個星球的每個人都平均分一塊地、我們每個人會擁有五萬平方米。這個數(shù)字看似相當(dāng)振奮人心，二當(dāng)我們計算一下每個人實際可用耕地之后，就知道這個情況不容樂觀。因為世界上超過3/5的土地都不能生產(chǎn)糧食。

Obviously,with so little land to support us,we should 顯然，能夠養(yǎng)活我們的耕地如此之少，我們就應(yīng)該想方設(shè)法不要讓耕地繼續(xù)減少下去。但是，我們并沒有這么做！反而我們正在消耗它的“本錢”——其不可再生的化石燃料與其他礦藏，它們是在幾百萬年的時間里形成的，然而現(xiàn)在，幾十年內(nèi)就會消耗殆盡。我們對待其他通?？醋鍪遣豢稍偕闹匾Y源亦是如此，譬如肥沃的土地、地下水和千百萬與我們共同居住在地球上的物種。

1、What can be learn about the population growth at present? It continues to increase at its present rate.2、According to the article,what contributes to the population increase? Death Control

3、What is the doctors’ job according to paragraph 2? They keep people who suffer from incurable diseases alive.4、Why isn’t there engough land to support human beings? Because the world’s land has already been taken up by the ever-increasing popuiation.5、In paragraph 4 the fertile soils are considered as ___.nonrenewable

(四)Earthquake地震

Earthquakes may be ranked as one of the most

地震是人類眾所知的最具有破壞力的自然災(zāi)害之一。自從有記載以來，估計有地震造成的死亡達(dá)數(shù)百萬以上，地震造成的破壞更是不計其數(shù)。地震造成的破壞如此之大，死亡如此之多，主要是由于地震引發(fā)的建筑倒塌、巖石崩落、洪水、火災(zāi)、疾病等現(xiàn)象造成，而不是由于地震本身。

The great majority of all earthquake occur 大多數(shù)地震發(fā)生在兩個獨特的地理位置上。一個是環(huán)太平洋地區(qū)及相鄰的大陸架，另一個是從印度東部延伸到阿特拉斯山脈，其中包括喜馬拉雅山、伊朗、土耳其和阿爾比卑斯地區(qū)。那里隨時隨地都可能發(fā)生地震。This element of the unknown has for

幾個世紀(jì)以來，這種對于地震的未知性更大大增加了地震的可怕和恐懼性。但近幾年來已有跡象表明地震預(yù)測是可能的。通過分析動物行為的變化，地殼運(yùn)動的方式，地球磁場和地心引力的變化以及檢測到輕微地震的頻率，科學(xué)家在預(yù)測地震發(fā)生的時間和地點上已取得了不斷的成功。因此，世界性地震預(yù)警網(wǎng)絡(luò)已經(jīng)運(yùn)轉(zhuǎn)，而且已經(jīng)幫助人們對大范圍的破壞做好準(zhǔn)備，而這些破壞也可能是完全不能預(yù)料的。It is doubtful that man will ever be able 人類是否能完全控制地震并消除它的破壞力還未可知。但是，隨著我們對地震發(fā)生的方式和原因有了更多的了解，在地震發(fā)生之前，我們就能更好的應(yīng)對可能造成的破壞。

1、What are the causes of the great part of the damage and loss of life? Collapse of buildings and the effects of rock slides,floods,fire,disease and other ohenomena from earthquakes.2、Where are the two most active earthquake belts in the world? The area encompasses the Pacific Ocean and its contiguous land masses,East Indians To the Atlas Mountains.3、What fact does “element of the unknown” in paragraph 3 refer to? It refers to the fact the earthquakes can happen anywhere at any time.4、What four ways are used to anticipate earthquake activity? a)analyzing changes in animal behavior b)patterns of movements in the earth’s crust c)variations in the force of gravity and the earth’s magnetic field d)observation df the frequency of minor earth tremors 5、What is the author’s attitude toward the possibility of earthquake predictions? Earthquake prediction is becoming more and more possible.（五）The Aftermath of BP Gulf Oil Spill 英國石油公司墨西哥灣原油泄漏

In the aftermath of the BP oil spill,President Obama 英國石油公司原油泄漏事件后，奧巴馬總統(tǒng)的一次公開講話表達(dá)出了無數(shù)科學(xué)家、環(huán)保主義者以及墨西哥灣居民的心聲。他在講話中提到“我們正在應(yīng)對的是一場巨大的、史無前例的環(huán)境災(zāi)難”。每天足有21萬加侖的原油泄漏并污染者墨西哥灣，這使得很多人認(rèn)為這次事件對環(huán)境所造成短期和長期的危害感到擔(dān)憂。The oil spill could severly damage fragile 這次原油泄漏事件對脆弱的生態(tài)系統(tǒng)帶來的嚴(yán)重破壞會持續(xù)很多年，甚至數(shù)十年。被石油污染的海灘很難被清理干凈。更糟糕的是，泄漏的石油對海灘造成的污染事件正是海鳥筑巢和海龜游到岸上那個孵蛋的季節(jié)。

Even worse is the effect the oil spillcould have 還有更糟的事情，石油污染還可能影響敏感的濕地和紅樹林海岸，而這將是幾乎不可能被處理干凈的，有些人甚至擔(dān)心這將是永久性的毀壞。這些濕地是捕漁業(yè)和水產(chǎn)品工業(yè)的搖籃，也是多種野生動物的棲息地和繁殖地。由于這些濕地面積遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)大于海灘面積，所以它們面臨破壞的風(fēng)險就大大增加了。

Fully 98 percent of the fish and shellfish 在墨西哥灣捕獲的魚類和貝類中足有98%依靠河口生存，這些河口就是江河與海水匯合的地方。而河口又依賴于濕地保證其水的質(zhì)量并為水產(chǎn)品供應(yīng)鏈提供基礎(chǔ)。濕地是很多物種覓食、七喜和繁殖的場所。

The watets of the Gulf of Mexico are homes 墨西哥灣水域也是成百上千種水棲動物的家園。石油對海水造成污染的時間越長，水產(chǎn)品食物鏈得污染的程度就會越大，這最終會造成大量的魚類死亡以及水產(chǎn)品被嚴(yán)重的污染而無法食用。

1、In the first sentence “President Obama voiced the? Voice here means “to express an idea of?”

2、How long could the damage to the ecosystem last? The damage to the ecosystem could last decades.3、How important are the wetlands to the wildlife? The wetlands are a vital habitat and breeding ground for many species of wildlife.4、Why are estuaries dependent on wetlands? Estuaries are dependant on wetlands for their water quality and to provide a basis for aquatic food chains.5、How will the oil spill affect the seafood in the Gulf of Mexico? Many fish will die and the seafood will be too contaminated for consumption.(六)Green Computers“綠色”電腦 Computer manufacturers,chipmakers and software 目前，電腦生產(chǎn)商、芯片制造者和軟件公司都紛紛開發(fā)“綠色”產(chǎn)品來滿足那些環(huán)保意識強(qiáng)烈的消費者的需求。一些科技公司開發(fā)了更節(jié)能的生產(chǎn)線，還有一些公司推出了減少現(xiàn)有電腦耗電量的軟件。電子制造企業(yè)不斷擴(kuò)展工藝?yán)醚h(huán)材料生產(chǎn)新電腦，并鼓勵消費者循環(huán)利用舊電腦。某些環(huán)保電子產(chǎn)品可能需要消費者多花些錢，但人有很多環(huán)保電腦的價格跟傳統(tǒng)電腦差不多。

Several factors are pushing companies to be greener.有幾大因素推動著電腦公司更注重環(huán)保。許多企業(yè)希望走在環(huán)保法規(guī)的前面，贏得環(huán)保投資者的支持。同時，隨著能源價格上漲，他們正常是吸引那些設(shè)法節(jié)省費用的消費者。The computer industry has been working on improving 計算機(jī)工業(yè)多年來一直致力于減少能源消耗，新焦點已經(jīng)放到了毒性和循環(huán)利用上來了。例如，聯(lián)想集團(tuán)使用的塑料中10%到25%使用回收的水瓶制造的。上個月，英特爾集團(tuán)將新款芯片投放市場，據(jù)稱這些芯片不用耗費更多的能量就可以加快計算的速度。該公司還開發(fā)了一種叫做“遠(yuǎn)程喚醒”的技術(shù)，可以使計算機(jī)在使用者不需要通過網(wǎng)絡(luò)檢索文件的時候保持低耗能的模式?；萜臻_發(fā)了一個叫做自動開關(guān)的新功能，可以不再工作狀態(tài)的打印機(jī)進(jìn)入休眠模式，一旦再次使用，又會很快的恢復(fù)到工作模式?；萜?009年生產(chǎn)的個人桌面激光打印機(jī)就已經(jīng)安裝了這項功能?；萜展具€將注意力優(yōu)先是放在了制造材料商，他們生產(chǎn)的一塊噴墨打印機(jī)就是由83%的回收塑料制造的。Experts say that keeping your old computer 專家表示，就對環(huán)境的影響而言，對舊電腦再利用，讓其避免流入垃圾場填埋比買臺新電腦更好。

1、Why are computer manufacturers considering developing greener products? Because they want to meet the requirements of environmentally conscious consumers.2、Compared to the old computer,the price of the greener machine is__.A little bit more expensive

3、From the three examples,Lenovo,Intel and HP,we can know that___.Companies want to stay ahead of environmental legislation and to get good impression from green investors.On the other hand they are trying to appeal to people who want to save their expenses because of high energy price.4、What is the function of Auto-On/Auto-Off? It can put inactive printers into a sleep mode and can quickly power back up once used again.5、What does the last sentence in the last paragraph mean? Don’t throw your old computer away as trash in order to keep the environment clean.(七)Cell Phones手機(jī)

What would life look like without cell phones? 沒有手機(jī)的生活會變得怎么樣呢？今天暢銷的手機(jī)都有MP3播放器、電視、音樂、無線相片打印等功能。手機(jī)在過去幾年里的變化非常大，隨著每次新產(chǎn)品的問世，手機(jī)商們都會再次陷入苦惱之中。該怎么創(chuàng)造下一代人氣商品呢？制造商們該怎樣做才能了解手機(jī)使用者們不久的將來真正想要的東西，并且區(qū)分暢銷與滯銷的產(chǎn)品呢？業(yè)內(nèi)人士指出最受歡迎的手機(jī)具有能夠簡單的迎合顧客個人喜好尖端功能的手機(jī)。Manufactures believe that the success of the cell phones 制造商相信手機(jī)成功取決于高速網(wǎng)絡(luò)的構(gòu)建和開發(fā)以提供如影像或視頻、音樂、高速互聯(lián)網(wǎng)的服務(wù)。在這些網(wǎng)絡(luò)運(yùn)營的同時，業(yè)內(nèi)人士正在考慮將電話、顯示屏以及服務(wù)進(jìn)行徹底的重新設(shè)計，使其新的功能使用簡化。這些開發(fā)產(chǎn)品結(jié)合了一種讓使用者可以代替PDA（掌上電腦）和其他裝置。手機(jī)制造商確信，在不久的將來，消費者將用手機(jī)完成一切事務(wù)，從看電視到學(xué)習(xí)和學(xué)?？荚?。開發(fā)商們現(xiàn)在應(yīng)當(dāng)集中精力設(shè)計外形更吸引人的新手機(jī)，因為除了手機(jī)的外形、顏色或款式所引起的情緒反應(yīng)外，還幾乎沒有別的東西對消費者多變的購買行為起到更直接的影響。

1、What are the features of today’s mobile phones? They are lasded with MP3 music players,TV,music and wireless photo printing.2、What will manufacyures face if they produce a new product? They will face a big dilemma.3、What should the most popular phones have? The most popular phones should have advanced functions to customizer for individual tastes.4、What will people do with cell phones in the future? People will use phones for everything from watching TV to syudying and writing school exams.5、Why does the writer mention “the enotional respones” in the last sentence? Because he thinks that affects customers’ buying behavior.(八)Touch Tech觸屏技術(shù)

For mobile touch technology,it’s only the beginning.就移動觸摸技術(shù)而言，現(xiàn)在只是剛剛開始。蘋果公司的電話產(chǎn)品使移動電話行業(yè)產(chǎn)生了突破性變革，其便利的觸摸屏技術(shù)可以便于用戶瀏覽網(wǎng)絡(luò)、發(fā)送短信或掌控許多新穎的應(yīng)用軟件。Deveiopers are working on new applications for

開發(fā)人員正致力于新“多觸點”屏幕的應(yīng)用軟件。這些屏幕可以處理用戶用多手指同時給出的指令，這也增加了這項技術(shù)被應(yīng)用的可能性。其他開發(fā)人員正在研究“觸覺”反饋的升級技術(shù)——即現(xiàn)在所應(yīng)用的震動和其他物理感知技術(shù)，他們不但可以用來提醒游戲玩家已經(jīng)過關(guān)，也可以用來進(jìn)行情感交流，并且有可能很快就能使觸摸屏具有真實鍵盤的感覺。對于那些更喜歡使用手機(jī)鍵盤的人來說，即便傳統(tǒng)的鍵盤也能發(fā)揮與觸摸指令相對應(yīng)的功能。Software developers set to work on multi-touch 軟件開發(fā)人員開始研發(fā)多觸點應(yīng)用軟件。例如，有些軟件可以使用戶在電話上彈奏虛擬樂器。但是多觸點開發(fā)人員主要以開發(fā)游戲為主。Haptic technology already has many non-mobile 觸覺技術(shù)已經(jīng)在非移動領(lǐng)域得到廣發(fā)的應(yīng)用。例如，視頻游戲中，他可以讓游戲玩家感到自己好像真的在駕駛它們所控制的熒屏賽車。在醫(yī)療培訓(xùn)中，他可以讓在模擬器上操作的內(nèi)窺鏡檢測法等程序感覺異常真實，從而使醫(yī)療人員更自如的操作這些儀器。觸覺技術(shù)在手機(jī)方面的使用仍然處于初創(chuàng)階段，但是觸覺技術(shù)手機(jī)的廣泛應(yīng)用將為這項技術(shù)得以更多、更新的應(yīng)用開辟新的途徑。

For now,at least many mobile users prefer the 目前看來，至少還有許多手機(jī)用戶仍然偏愛物理鍵盤的準(zhǔn)確性，他們對觸摸屏并不十分感興趣。開發(fā)人員設(shè)計一項可以兼顧這兩種需求的新技術(shù)：即可以同時回應(yīng)觸摸指令的物理鍵盤。

1、Why do we say Apple’s iPhone is a revolution? Because Apple is the first to develop a new technology called easy-to-touch-screen.2、What is the advantage of multi-touch screen? The screens can process commands the user gives with more than one finger.3、What is the haptic feedback technology? It is vibrations and physical sensations.4、What do gamers feel if they use haptic technology in videogames? The gamers feel that they have the actual sensation when they play games.5、Why do many people like a physical keyboard nowadays? Because they like the accuracy of a physical keyboard.（九）Fossil Fueis and Our Life 化石燃料與我們的生活

Oil and natural gas are and important part of 石油與天然氣是我們?nèi)粘Ｉ畹闹匾M成部分。安們不僅使我們出行方便，它們還可以使我們的住所冬暖夏涼并且為我們提供電力。我們?nèi)粘Ｉ钪械脑S多物品都是由石油和天然氣制成，如塑料、治病救人的藥品、服裝、化妝品等等。In the United States,97% of the energy that drives 在美國，交通運(yùn)輸系統(tǒng)（私人汽車、公共汽車、地鐵、火車、飛機(jī)等）的運(yùn)行所依賴的能源中有97%來自石油煉制的燃料。

Auto manufacturers are developing cars to run 雖然汽車制造商們正在研制使用象電、氫氣和乙醇這樣的替代能源作為燃料的汽車，但是，汽車電池需要充電而且電池發(fā)電所用的燃料仍可能是石油或天然氣。燃料電池所需要的氫氣也可能是由天然氣或石油產(chǎn)品制成的。所以，盡管人們在研制開發(fā)替代燃料，在可預(yù)測的將來，能夠確保人們出行便利的重要能源仍然是石油。In areas of the world that are still developing 在全世界的發(fā)展中地區(qū)，不論是企業(yè)還是個人，不論是為了自己方便還是為銷售公司的產(chǎn)品，對交通出行的需求都大大增加。據(jù)預(yù)測世界汽車保有量將由1999年的每千人122輛增加至2020年的每千人144輛，這些增加的部分都是來自發(fā)展中國家。同樣在這些發(fā)展中國家，由于機(jī)場也在擴(kuò)建，所以航空燃料的需求也在不斷增長。在可預(yù)測的將來，石油人將是世界各地交通的主要能源，預(yù)計到2020年交通燃料將占全世界石油消耗總量的57%。World population is currently around 6 billion 目前世界人口為60億，但是到2020年將會產(chǎn)至約76億。這將意味著人們對石油和天氣制成的交通燃料、電力以及其它消費產(chǎn)品需求的大量增加。

1、According to the text,how important is oil to our life? Oil and gas give us mobility,they heat and cool our homes and provide electricity.They can also be made into many products that we use every day.2、What is a disadvantage of electric batterues??

They must be changed and the fuel to generate the electricity could be oil or gas.3、Can atlternate energy completely repace oil and gas? No ,it can’t.Oil and gas will still be crucially important to assuring that people can get where they need to be and want to go for the foreseeable future.4、Where in the world can we see the big increase in? In the developing world.5、What will the increase of world population indicate? That will mean a huge increase in the demand for transportation fuels,electricity,and many other consumer products made from oil and natural gas.(十)Carbon Emissions碳排放

The task—in which carbon emissions are pumped 將燃料燃燒排放出二氧化碳注入地下而不是排放到空氣中這項任務(wù)對于任何一種燃料的碳排放處理都是一件艱巨的工作。尤其對于煤炭來說，這項任務(wù)就更為困難，因為煤炭燃燒比石油和天然氣燃燒所排放出的二氧化碳更多。Under optimal current conditions,coal produces more 在最佳燃燒狀況下，每發(fā)一個單位電所燃燒煤炭而產(chǎn)生的二氧化碳是燃燒天然氣的兩倍。天然氣是發(fā)電使用的第二大燃料。在發(fā)展中國家，情況則更糟，因為那里所使用的煤炭及發(fā)電設(shè)備都是低檔次的。

Without carbon capture and stotage,coal cannot be green.如果不進(jìn)行碳集合封存，煤炭不可能成為綠色能源。但是解決這一問題不僅需要全球的共同努力，也需要花費數(shù)以十億計甚至更多的投資，而沒有任何一個國家和公司愿意花費這筆投資。

There are a few dozen small demonstration projects 雖然在歐洲和美國人們?yōu)榇诉M(jìn)行了一些小規(guī)模的試驗項目，但這些項目都剛剛興起，并沒有取得什么實質(zhì)性的進(jìn)展。

The European Union had pledges 歐盟已經(jīng)承諾在歐洲建設(shè)12個試驗性碳捕獲項目。很多國家也已經(jīng)將碳捕獲這項任務(wù)從實驗室轉(zhuǎn)化為安全、低價的實際應(yīng)用，但他們都把這項任務(wù)比作把人送往月球那么難。挪威睛在對此大量投資做技術(shù)測試，他們就把碳捕獲稱為“月球登陸計劃”。Then there is the problem of storing the carbon dioxide 碳捕獲之后面臨的問題就是碳封存。碳封存從某種程度上來說則屬于地域問題。地質(zhì)學(xué)家們需要確定地下是否有合適的地點，計算其對二氧化碳的存儲量，然后再配備設(shè)施防止二氧化碳的泄漏以確保安全。地下二氧化碳一旦發(fā)生大量泄漏，就如同核燃料泄漏一樣危險。

1、In paragraph 1,what does the underlined word “so” The word “so” refers to “challenging”.2、What can be learn about carbon emissions The coal used in the coal plants is low grade and the machineries there are less efficient.As a result,produce much more carbon dioxide per unit of electricity.3、How can the use of coal become “green”? Coal can become “green” through carbon capture and storage.4、According to the text,what has Norway been doing? Norway has been investing heavily in developing carbon capture technology.5、What is the biggest concern of storing carbon at?

The carbon sored at an underground site could leak,and a large leak of underground carbon dioxide could be as dangerous as a leak of nuclear fuel.（十一）Marine pollution海洋污染

By the year 2050 it is estimated that the world’s population 至2050年，估計世界人口可能會增加到120億。其中大約有60%的人口居住在距離海洋60公里的范圍內(nèi)。為養(yǎng)活這些人口而進(jìn)行的農(nóng)業(yè)和工業(yè)活動將會加大富饒的沿海地區(qū)已面臨的巨大壓力。

One significant impact of human activity is marine 人類活動產(chǎn)生的一個重大影響是海洋污染。最顯而易見和為人熟知的是油輪事故和海洋里清洗油箱所造成的油污染。

Despite the scale and visibility of such impacts,the total 雖然這些影響有一定的規(guī)模、且顯而易見，但是，與其它直接和間接的海洋污染源（包括民用污水、工業(yè)排放物、廢料堆泄漏、都市和工業(yè)污染排放物、事故、泄漏、爆炸、向海洋傾泄垃圾的行為、石油生產(chǎn)、采礦、農(nóng)業(yè)肥料和殺蟲劑、熱源廢料和放射性排放物“相比，一系列油輪發(fā)生災(zāi)難性油泄漏而贊成的海洋污染物質(zhì)總量還是顯得很少。Nutrient pollution from sewage discharges and agriculture 污水排放物和農(nóng)業(yè)生產(chǎn)所造成的肥料污染使海巖水域里的藻類開出難看而且可能危險的花朵。這些花朵死亡和腐爛將耗盡水里的氧氣，使這些地區(qū)變成了“逐漸蔓延的死亡區(qū)“。Radioactive pollution has many causes,including 放射性污染有很多原因，包括正常運(yùn)轉(zhuǎn)的核電站。遠(yuǎn)在格陵蘭島西部海巖的海草里都能發(fā)現(xiàn)核燃料再處理所產(chǎn)生的放射性元素。

Trace metal pollution from metal mining,producation 金屬采礦、生產(chǎn)和加工所造成的微量金屬污染會損害海洋植物和動物的健康，使一些海產(chǎn)品不再適合人類食用。

1、Why is it difficult to support the population on?

Because 60% of the world’s population will live within 60km of the sea.2、How many kinds of sea pollutions are mentioned?

There are four:marine pollution,nutrient pollution,radioactive pollution,trace metal pollution..3、What is mentioned as the most visible and familiar? Oil pollution.4、Marine life dies in creeping dead zones because of? Oxygen.5、The West Greenland Coast has been polluted by___ Radioactive elements.(十二)China’s Growth and theCleanEnergy Tech中國的經(jīng)濟(jì)增長與清潔能源技術(shù) China’s upprecedented growth in recent years has come 中國近年來史無前例的經(jīng)濟(jì)增長是以可怕的代價換來的。中國2/3的河流湖泊污染嚴(yán)重，無法用于工業(yè)，更別說農(nóng)業(yè)或飲用了。中國近6億城市人口中只有1%的人呼吸著按歐洲標(biāo)準(zhǔn)堪稱安全的空氣。在可耕地緊缺之際，受到污染的洪水又毀壞大量良田。The immensity of these troubles has prouced a result that 諸如此類的眾多問題卻產(chǎn)生了一個令很多國外人士感到驚訝的結(jié)果：中國逐漸成為清潔技術(shù)的培育基地，在若干領(lǐng)域走到了前列。憑借尚德太陽能電力有限公司等本土廠商，中國現(xiàn)在是世界上最大的光電太陽能電池板生產(chǎn)國。中國也是全球第二大風(fēng)電機(jī)組市場。在汽車制造方面，中國的比亞迪汽車有限公司已超過全球汽車巨頭，推出了第一款可大批量生產(chǎn)的充電式混合動力車。

Understanding they are in a global race,China’s leaders 中國領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人認(rèn)識到了他們正處于一場全球競賽中，于是以各咱政策和激勵措施對企業(yè)予以扶持。北京前不久將中國的汽車?yán)锍虡?biāo)準(zhǔn)大幅提高到美國估計要到2020年才能達(dá)到的水平。北京還表示，到2020年，中國的可再生性資源發(fā)電量所占比例將從目前的16%上升到23%，與歐洲的類似指標(biāo)不相上下。北京的綠色環(huán)保意向很快將受到考驗。中國睚處于以史以來最大的建筑熱潮中。一項研究估計，到2025年，中國將有超過3.5億人從農(nóng)村遷入城市。中國將新增500萬幢建筑，包括5萬幢摩天大樓，相當(dāng)于10座紐約市的規(guī)模。隨著新建辦公室和房屋的成培增長，那些耗費能的計算機(jī)、電視、空調(diào)等設(shè)備也要裝備到這些建筑中，這就大量增加了電力的需求，而大部分電力是來自以煤做燃料的發(fā)電廠。

1、What are some of the downsides to China’s growth? Rivers,lakes and air seriousiy polluted.Water and agricultural land have been poisoned.2、According to the passage,how many people in? 6 million

3、What can be learned about Suntech Power? It is a domestic manufacture of photovoltaic solar panels.4、What are Beijing’s green intentions? Beijing will boost the country’s share of electricity created from renewable sources to 23% by 2020.5、What will be increased sharply by the year 2025 in China? City population.(十三)Market Economy市場經(jīng)濟(jì)

There are pros and cons for command and

計劃經(jīng)濟(jì)和市場經(jīng)濟(jì)各有利弊。

Let’s look at the command evonomy first.首先我們來看一下計劃經(jīng)濟(jì)。計劃經(jīng)濟(jì)的基礎(chǔ)是由中央集權(quán)的政府指導(dǎo)和控制。計劃經(jīng)濟(jì)意味著政府涉足經(jīng)濟(jì)生活的每一步。計劃經(jīng)濟(jì)還有其它的負(fù)面影響。工廠經(jīng)常會達(dá)不到配額，市場的需求會被低估，一種產(chǎn)品可能會很快銷售一空等等?？偟膩碚f必須做出調(diào)整：產(chǎn)品和價格可能不得不或升或降；也可能會限制人們購買產(chǎn)品的數(shù)量等等。Mow let’s look at the market economy.現(xiàn)在我們來看一下市場經(jīng)濟(jì)。這意味著企業(yè)私有制政府并不能為它們做任何決定。我們用服裝行業(yè)的例子來說明它的運(yùn)行方式。假如某人，我們就叫他杰克，決定開一家服裝制造公司。他設(shè)計和制造時尚的服裝，使人們愿意購買和穿著。如果服裝受歡迎，杰克會提高價格，并維持價格的攀升。通過這種方式，杰克可獲取更大的利潤。或者通過擴(kuò)展業(yè)務(wù)，創(chuàng)造更多的財富。與此同時，別人將注意到他做的很優(yōu)秀，于是這些人將創(chuàng)辦新的企業(yè)和杰克競爭。這樣價格將穩(wěn)定下來，甚至可能降低，因為人們都愿意買更便宜的衣服。各家公司將不得不降低成本、減少利潤，使自己在行業(yè)內(nèi)得以生存。在這種情況下，市場經(jīng)濟(jì)才是正確的方向。With a command economy the government runs 在計劃經(jīng)濟(jì)下，政府掌管每件事和每個人；而在市場經(jīng)濟(jì)下，政府提供幫助來解決市場不能解決的問題。計劃經(jīng)濟(jì)逐漸導(dǎo)致長期物質(zhì)短缺和效率低下。另一方面，市場經(jīng)濟(jì)能夠更大程度地帶來經(jīng)濟(jì)增長、技術(shù)進(jìn)步和社會繁榮的良機(jī)。

1、What is the roble of government in the command?

The economy is directed,controlled by the centralized government.2、What might be restricted in the command economy? How much of an item a person can buy.3、What is the market economy? Market economy means private enterprise with the government not making the decisions.4、Who is Jack according to the text? Jack is a virtusl person who owns a company yhat makes clothes.5、What does the market economy provide? The market economy provides greater opportunities for economoc growth,technological progress and prosperity.(十四)CPI消費者物價指數(shù)

If the CPI，Consumer Price Index was 2.1%...如果某個國家的消費者物價指數(shù)為2.1%，那意味著什么？簡單地說，這意味著這個國家的消費者為消費者物價指數(shù)籃子里的商品及服務(wù)的支出比上一年多了2.1%。雖然商品和服務(wù)的價格隨時間而上下波動，但是如果價格變動幅度過大，則會給經(jīng)濟(jì)帶來負(fù)面影響。為了說明經(jīng)濟(jì)是否正在經(jīng)歷通貨膨脹、通貨緊縮或者是滯脹，我們把CPI作為衡量商品及服務(wù)價格的尺度。

When the Department of Labor’s Bureau?

勞工部勞動數(shù)據(jù)統(tǒng)計局每月頌CPI數(shù)據(jù)的時候，很多人都期待關(guān)注CPI結(jié)果。你或許會問什么會會熱切地等待著這些結(jié)果？CPI對許多重要的財政決策者來說起著重要的作用，其中包括個人投資者、中央銀行和美國聯(lián)邦貯備銀行。CPI幫助中央銀行預(yù)測主要銀行和企業(yè)的利息政策和其它決策。

I mentioned the CPI basket before and now?

前面提到過CPI籃子，現(xiàn)在我想進(jìn)一步說明一下這個籃子是什么，以及我們?nèi)绾潍@取信息。組成CPI的基本市場籃子是在調(diào)查了成千上萬戶家庭的詳細(xì)支出信息之后得出的。這些信息不是隨機(jī)搜集來的，而是通過對那些愿意公開自己購買習(xí)慣的消費者所進(jìn)行采訪和記錄中得到的信息?；净@子可分為8個組，包括了200多個種類，食品和飲料、住宅、服裝、交通工具、醫(yī)療、休閑、教育和通訊以及其它商品的服務(wù)。最后，市場籃子中的8萬件物品的價格是從成千上萬個零售商店、服務(wù)部門、租賃店、診所等的每個月匯總中得來的。

1、What is CPI short for? Consunmer Price Index.2、What does that indicate if CPI is 3.3% in a country?

Consumers in a country have to pay 3.3% more than in the previous year for the goods and service.3、What will happen if prices change a lot? They can have negative effects on a economy.4、Who are eager to await the results of the CPI?Why? Many key finacial decision makers.Because the CPI plays an important role for them.5、How is the information of the CPI basket collected? The information is collected through interview and diaries kept by the participant.(十五)The Internet互聯(lián)網(wǎng)

The Internet is the largest repository of information 互聯(lián)網(wǎng)是最大的信息寶庫，它可以提供非常巨大的網(wǎng)絡(luò)資源。這種網(wǎng)絡(luò)資源可分為網(wǎng)絡(luò)設(shè)備資源和網(wǎng)絡(luò)信息資源。網(wǎng)絡(luò)設(shè)備資源使我們能夠進(jìn)行遠(yuǎn)程計算和通信。網(wǎng)絡(luò)信息資源為我們擔(dān)任中種各樣的信息服務(wù)，如科學(xué)、教育、商務(wù)、歷史、法律、藝術(shù)和娛樂等等。The most commonly used network service is 最常被使用的網(wǎng)絡(luò)服務(wù)是電子郵件。電子郵件允許網(wǎng)絡(luò)用戶彼此傳送文本消息。計算機(jī)和網(wǎng)絡(luò)負(fù)責(zé)傳遞郵件，這樣一來，郵件用戶不必關(guān)心傳遞的細(xì)節(jié)，而且沒有必要在同一時間或地點出現(xiàn)。

Before you can use the Internet, 在上網(wǎng)之前，你必須選擇一種方法，在網(wǎng)絡(luò)和你自己的電腦之間移動數(shù)據(jù)。這個連接可能是一個高速數(shù)據(jù)通信線路、局域網(wǎng)（LAN）、電話線或無線頻道。大多數(shù)情況下，你可以使用一個連接到你的電話線年調(diào)制調(diào)制解調(diào)器來實現(xiàn)網(wǎng)絡(luò)連接。Worldwide web(004km.cnputation and communication and also provide us all kinds of information services.3、Why do most people choose the Internet to? Because it is the fastest and most convenient way.4、What is the most possible way you choose to ? Using a Modem attached to the telephone line.5、Why do people regard the Net as a community ?

Because people can get and do whatever they want at home as more and more sustems join the Internet and more and more forms of information are available to the amount of Internet users.(十六)Apple Expands its Touchy-Feely Vision蘋果公司用ipad延續(xù)夢想 The launch of Apple’s iPad in the US is a polarising 當(dāng)蘋果公司在美國推出iPad時，引發(fā)了兩種截然不同的反應(yīng)。電視新聞會把鏡頭長時間對準(zhǔn)蘋果專賣店外的長隊，以及蘋果粉絲們是如何垂涎于這些亮麗的、吸引科技迷們的新產(chǎn)品。而與此同時，懷疑人士則會指出，這類多功能平板電腦以往在市場中一直遭遇慘敗——而且，如果觸摸屏界面真的如此具有革命性，那么蘋果公司為何還打算出售供iPad外接的老式鍵盤呢？

To focus on issues such as these,though,would 不過，若是糾纏于這類問題，我們就抓不到這件事情的關(guān)鍵。無論這個新設(shè)備有多令人想往，它都決非僅僅是另一件個人高科技硬件產(chǎn)品。這是因為，iPad是個人電腦誕生以來，計算機(jī)領(lǐng)域最重要的一項新發(fā)展的延伸。如果它能夠大受歡迎，就將確保蘋果公司重新登上計算機(jī)業(yè)的巔峰位置。該公司先是在2007年推出iPhone，隨后又在同年推出iPad Touch，它一直在改變著人們與智能便攜設(shè)備接觸的方式：觸摸已成為人機(jī)界面，在線“應(yīng)用程序商店”（App Store）則成為人們獲取服務(wù)和內(nèi)容的新場所。Between them,the iPone and the Touch already 摩根士丹利互聯(lián)網(wǎng)行業(yè)分析師瑪麗.米克稱，iPhone與iPad Touch已經(jīng)代表了有史以來發(fā)展最快的新型計算機(jī)平臺。通過推出iPad，蘋果公司如今又讓這一平臺延伸出一塊廣袤的新領(lǐng)域。其主要目的是用多功能平板設(shè)備證明了以往多家高科技公司在此領(lǐng)域的失敗。但有iPhone作為基礎(chǔ)，蘋果平板電腦的起點高于別人。而且，即使iPad最初的銷售情況不盡人意（就如iPad與iPhone最初的銷售情況一樣），蘋果公司也至少為大批軟件開發(fā)商勾勒出了一片大有潛力的新市場的輪廓，而這些軟件開發(fā)者已經(jīng)把自己的財富與蘋果公司的技術(shù)綁在了一起。

1、What will be the television news focus after the?

The television news will focus on the long line standing in front of Apple stores,and fans who are drooling over these latest shinly objects of techno-lust.2、In what situation will Apple rebound to the very?

If the iPad becomes popular,it will help Apple rebound to the of the business.3、What changges has Apple already brough to ?

Apple has been changing the way people relate to intelligent portable devices.Tough has become the interface and connected “app stores” the new place to find services and content.4、What’s Mary Meeker’s analysis to iPhone?

The iPhone and the Touch already represent the fastest-growing new computing platform in history.5、In the sentence “Tablet-style devices have proved”

It means that the table-style devices will disappear from listory.（十七）3G Technology3G技術(shù)

Cellular technoiogy has been evolving since

無線電通訊技術(shù)自其發(fā)明以來就一直在不斷更新和進(jìn)步。隨著貝爾實驗室和AT＆T公司開發(fā)了第一代無線電通訊網(wǎng)絡(luò)，無線電通訊技術(shù)在使用便捷、聲音質(zhì)量以及數(shù)據(jù)傳輸上便開始了飛躍的發(fā)展。我們今天所熟悉的手機(jī)這個奇妙的技術(shù)是由一系列創(chuàng)造革新逼睞的，而且將來還會有更新的技術(shù)出現(xiàn)。

3G technology,the current standard in cekkuar 第三代（3G）技術(shù)，當(dāng)今無線電通訊服務(wù)所使用的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，又進(jìn)一步改進(jìn)了無線電通訊服務(wù)。在網(wǎng)絡(luò)方面，它比第二代（2G）技術(shù)更加有效，容量也更大了。數(shù)據(jù)連接速度也更快，接近于寬帶速度。它還可以使用戶同時使用語音和數(shù)字功能。However,the march of technology goes ever forwatd 但技術(shù)是不斷發(fā)展的?，F(xiàn)在第四代技術(shù)已經(jīng)初露頭角。與其它幾代不同，4G并不是為語音服務(wù)而是為因特網(wǎng)而設(shè)計的。這代技術(shù)會消除無線通訊網(wǎng)絡(luò)中不同運(yùn)營商和國家之間的不兼容性。它有超高的數(shù)據(jù)傳輸速度，從100Mbps最高可達(dá)到1Gbps，并可用于手機(jī)和靜態(tài)計算機(jī)。

The developments in celluar technology promise 無線電通訊技術(shù)的發(fā)展給我們帶來了一個未曾見過的世界范圍的語音和數(shù)據(jù)通訊網(wǎng)絡(luò)。試想一想與因特網(wǎng)的寬帶連接，還有不論你身在何處都能聽到的清晰電話對話。準(zhǔn)備迎接4G的到來吧！

1、What contribution did Bell Lab and AT The developed the first cellular telephone networks.2、What are the advantages of 3G technology ?

3G is even more efficient than 2G and allowed greater capacity on the cellular network.It also allowed much faster data connections and allowed a consumer to use both voice and data features on their phones at the same time.3、How is 4G desogned differently from the previous 4G is not designed around voice services but is designed around the Internet.4、Name the major advantages of 4G.It will do away with many of the celluar network incompatibilities between carriers and countries.It will have blazing fast data speeds.It is designed to be used with both mobile phones and more static computers.5、In the sentence “It will have blazing fast data” It means “the fastest speed can reach 1 Gbps”.(十八)Carbon Capture and Storage 碳捕獲和儲存

Carbon capture and storage(CCS)is a means 碳捕獲和儲存（CCS）是一種從大型發(fā)電廠等污染源捕獲二氧化碳，并運(yùn)用不同方式儲存在非大氣層的環(huán)境中，以減輕化石燃料排放對全球變暖影響的手段。它也可以用來描述從大氣中洗滌二氧化碳的一種地球工程技術(shù)。The term carbon dioxide capture and storage 碳捕獲和儲存這一概念已經(jīng)被用于描述以下這些生物技術(shù)，如生物碳埋藏。這是一種利用樹木和浮游生特等從空氣中捕獲二氧化碳的生物技術(shù)。然而，碳捕獲和儲存現(xiàn)豐通常用來描述從燃燒源捕獲二氧化碳的非生物過程。CCS applied to a modern conventional power 碳捕獲和儲存技術(shù)應(yīng)用到傳統(tǒng)發(fā)電廠可以減少約80-90%的二氧化碳排放。據(jù)政府間氣候變化專門委員會估計，到2010年，在碳減排總投資中，碳捕獲和儲存的經(jīng)濟(jì)投入將達(dá)到10%至55%。

Capturing and commpressing CO2 requires much

捕獲和壓縮二氧化碳需要大量能源，一個應(yīng)碳捕獲和儲存技術(shù)的燃燒電廠的燃料需求將增加25%-40%。那么新的應(yīng)用碳捕獲和儲存的燃煤發(fā)電廠的能源和其它系統(tǒng)成本估計將增加21-91%。而這樣的預(yù)算只適用于在碳儲存地附近專門建設(shè)的碳捕獲和儲存發(fā)電廠：如果在現(xiàn)有的遠(yuǎn)離碳儲存位置的發(fā)電廠采用該技術(shù)，那將更加昂貴。Storage of the CO2 is envisaged either in deep 預(yù)計會選擇將二氧化碳儲存在地層深處、深海、或在礦物碳酸鹽中。如果在深海中儲存，很有可能存在增大海洋酸度的風(fēng)險。海洋酸化問題也主要起源于大氣和海洋中過多的二氧化碳。

1、What is Carbon Capture and Storage? Carbon capture and storage is a method to reduce the contribution of fossil fuel emissions to global warming by capturing carbon dioxide form large point sources such as fossil fuel power plants,and storing it away from the atmosphere by different means.2、How is carbon dioxide capture and storag defined?

It is described as biochar burial,which use trees,plankton,etc.to capture CO2 from the air.3、What is the effect of applying carbon dioxide?

It could reduce CO2 emissions to the atmosphere by appoximately 80-90% compared to a plant without CCS.4、Where will the captured carbon be stored? The captured carbon will be stored either in the deep geological formations,in deep ocean masses,or in the form of mineral carbons.5、What is the problem of deep ocean storage? There is a risk of greatly increasing the problem of ocean acidification,a problem that also stems from the excess of carbon dioxide already in the atmosphere and oceans.（十九）Global Warming全球變暖 Global warming may or may not be

全球變暖或許是也或許不是21世紀(jì)的環(huán)境大危機(jī)。但不管是與否，我們都不會采取什么措施。我們會對其爭論不休，甚至作為一個國家發(fā)表一些聽起來莊重的誓言來避免全球變暖。但這些誓言聽起來越激動人心、越意味深長，實現(xiàn)它們的可能性卻越小。Al Gore,former US Vice President 美國前副總統(tǒng)弋爾將全球變暖稱作“令人不快的真相“，似乎只要我們認(rèn)識到這個真相就可以找到解決這一問題途徑。但是實際的真相是我們并沒有足夠的能力消除全球變暖；若沒有重大的科技突破，我們根本無能為力。From 2003 to 2050,the world’s population 2003年至2050年世界人員預(yù)計將增長42%，即從64億增長至91億。如果人均消耗能源和技術(shù)水平不變，到2050年，能源消耗總量和溫室氣體排放將增加42%。但是這只是一個保守數(shù)字，因為社會的進(jìn)步和富足意味著更多的能源消耗。經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展是必需的，除非不再提高人們的生活水準(zhǔn)，讓世界上的貧困人口永遠(yuǎn)過貧窮的生活。但即使經(jīng)濟(jì)保守地發(fā)展，到2050年，能源消耗及溫室氣體排放也會增加一倍多。No government will adopt rigid restrictions 任何政府都不會采取剛性的措施限制經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展和個人自由（如：限制用電量、開車出行、外出旅行等），盡管這樣的措施會減緩全球變暖。但是政治家們依然想證明他們沒有對全球變暖“置之不理”?！熬┒甲h定書”就是個實例。其中規(guī)定所有簽約國家有權(quán)利懲罰那些非簽約國。但是“京都議定書”并沒有使二氧化碳的排放有所減少，況且很多簽約國也并沒有采取足夠嚴(yán)厲的措施以實現(xiàn)2008-2010年碳排放目標(biāo)。The practical conclusion is that if global 我們得出的現(xiàn)實的結(jié)論就是如果全球變暖是一場潛在的災(zāi)難，解決全球變暖的唯一辦法是新技術(shù)。只有靠我們大力的研究和技術(shù)開發(fā)才能使我們打破對化石燃料的依賴或找到應(yīng)對全球變暖的方法。

1、What is said about global warming?

Human being will not do much about global watming.2、According to the author’s understanding,what

Al Gore calls global warming an “inconvenient truth”,as if merely recognizing it could put us on a path a solution.3、Why will greenhouse emissions double by Because the world popuiation will grow by 42% by 2050,and as economy will grow,and so will the energy consumption and greenhouse emission.4、In Paragraph 4,the sentence “It allowed countries”

“Those that didn’t”here refers to “those countries that didn’t join the Kyoto Protocol.”

5、What message does the author try to convey We must develop breakthrough technology in order to deal with the problem of global warming.（二十）Alternate Energies替代能源 There is a lot of energy that we can harness 只要我們努力去研究和開發(fā)所需技術(shù)，有很多能源都可供我們利用。我們完全可以遠(yuǎn)離化石能源和老式電網(wǎng)，去使用這些替代能源。One of these alternative energy resource 這些替代能源之一就是風(fēng)能。人們不斷開發(fā)改進(jìn)風(fēng)力渦輪發(fā)電機(jī)使其更加節(jié)能也越來越便宜。在很多國家建立起越來越多的“風(fēng)電廠”。而且，考慮到以前的風(fēng)力渦輪對鳥類造成了危害，人們在設(shè)置這些新的風(fēng)力發(fā)電機(jī)時也更加注意了策略性。另外一種替代能源是為大家廣泛熟知的太陽能。太陽能技術(shù)需要生產(chǎn)太陽能電池來聚焦并收集太陽光發(fā)出的能量，并將其轉(zhuǎn)變成電能或有時提取熱水。和風(fēng)能一樣，太陽能是零污染能源。海洋潮汐能是被很多國家和投資商看好的擁有巨大潛力的能源。在法國已經(jīng)有一個潮汐發(fā)電設(shè)施在運(yùn)行發(fā)電，幾年的運(yùn)行使用證明這項技術(shù)是成功的。愛爾蘭和蘇格蘭目前也正在測試他們的潮汐能發(fā)電設(shè)施。水力發(fā)電已經(jīng)為人類使用了相當(dāng)一段時間了，水力發(fā)電廠可以產(chǎn)生很多電能，比電網(wǎng)發(fā)電更加清潔。但是水力發(fā)電存在一定的制約——不是每個地方都能建造大壩，因此水力發(fā)電并不能被廣泛使用。鑒于這些制約，最近，很多河床式發(fā)電廠，或者小型的水利發(fā)電設(shè)施已在興建。地?zé)崮艿膬α繕O其豐富，因為地?zé)崮芫驮谖覀兡_下，離地面只有幾英里的地下。地?zé)崮苁峭ㄟ^地?zé)崆騼?nèi)部的高溫熔巖活動將地下水加熱而形成的能量。這些被熔巖加熱的水變?yōu)檎羝?，這些蒸汽可用來驅(qū)動渦輪機(jī)最終發(fā)電。我們應(yīng)該對地?zé)崮艿拈_發(fā)利用做大量的研究。乙醇是汽油的替代品，它是由麥子、甘蔗、葡萄、草莓、玉米、木屑和木纖維這些物質(zhì)制成的。對于乙醇是否能成為既經(jīng)濟(jì)又實用而且沒有地域局限性的能源仍存在很多爭議，而乙醇的提取和混合的技術(shù)也正在不斷地改進(jìn)。

1、What are some of the advantages of wind power? Wind power is energy-efficient and less costly and it is clean.2、How do the solar cells work/? Solar cells gather and focus the energy given off directly by the sun,and translate it into electricity or hot water.3、Where in the world is ocean wave energy applied? Currently,it is used in France,Irelandand Scotland.4/、How is geothermal power converted into electricity? The steam underground can be harnessed and used to drive turbine engines which can genergy electricity.5、What is the controversy over the use of ethanol as ?

The controversy is whether ethanol as a source of energy can be economical or practical except in very localized areas.（二十一）Biofuels生物燃料

In order to understand the role of biofuels 為了了解生物燃料的未來走向，我們需要搞清楚我們現(xiàn)在正處于能源發(fā)展過程中的哪個階段——150年前埃德溫.德雷克的發(fā)現(xiàn)將我們帶到了這個位置上。事實上我們這個世界已經(jīng)變得非常依賴于豐富的能源供應(yīng)；目前的預(yù)測顯示，到2030年我們對能量的需求將增加45%。滿足這個需求將是很艱難的，這將需要每年至少1萬億美元的投資。因此，就新的燃料而言，生物資料是在未來20年實現(xiàn)為車輛提供安全、可持續(xù)發(fā)展和低碳排放的主要手段。Crude oil is proving to be remarkably difficult 原油將是很難被取代的。到目前為止，生物燃料是唯一可行的競爭者。我們保守地估計，到2030年生物燃料將會占到高達(dá)20%的能源市場份額。Biofuels are the only transport energy 作為交通能源的替代產(chǎn)品，生物燃料是唯一確實出現(xiàn)在像“國際能源機(jī)構(gòu)的低碳”450”綱要”這樣的關(guān)于碳減排類的數(shù)據(jù)預(yù)測中的。當(dāng)然，先進(jìn)的生物燃料將作出越來越大的貢獻(xiàn)。國際能源機(jī)構(gòu)450綱要的數(shù)據(jù)預(yù)測指出，到2020年先進(jìn)生物燃料將占據(jù)新的生物燃料的大多數(shù)；到2030年，將占所有生物燃料的一半份額。So biofuels have a major strategic role 因此，生物燃料在未來能源戰(zhàn)略中將起到重大作用。我們已經(jīng)開始為此努力。這將引導(dǎo)我們在新技術(shù)和商業(yè)模式的支持下，逐步建設(shè)一個全新的、規(guī)模龐大的行業(yè)，這是一個挑戰(zhàn)，也是一個很大的機(jī)遇，一個我們可以將石油和天然氣行業(yè)所獲得的技能應(yīng)用的機(jī)會。That therfore this industry,perhaps more 所以，這個行業(yè)也許比任何其它行業(yè)都更需要合作才能取得成功。最近我們已經(jīng)可以清楚地看到生物燃料實際上是我們的傳統(tǒng)核心業(yè)務(wù)的一部分。從許多方面看，生物燃料都將成為新的石油。所不同的是，它們是從鮮活的原源不斷地制造出來的，而不是源于有限的化石類生物物質(zhì)。生物燃料為我們提供了一個“可再生的油井”。它們不僅僅是對汽油的簡單補(bǔ)充，而且是對我們的傳統(tǒng)核心產(chǎn)品的補(bǔ)充。

1、What is the fact of the world energy supply？

The fact is our needs on energy will rise by up to 45% in demand for energy by the year 2030.2、What is the role of bioyuels in the next 20years? Biofuels will play a role as the primary means of bringing secure,sustainable,low-carbon fuel to vehicles in the next 20 years.3、What does ‘projections’ of IEA 450 mean?

It’s the estimated statistics for the carbon emission in IEA450.4、What does ‘our journey’refer to? ‘Our journey’refers to the journey which leads us onto a realisation that the challenge of building a whole new industry,at vast scale,with a reliance on new technology and business models.5、Why is it said that biofuels industry,perhaps?

Because it relies on new technology and business models and it also needs the skills we have built up in the oil and gas business.(二十二)Coal Chemical Industry 煤化學(xué)工業(yè)

Coal chemical industry is the industry which 煤化學(xué)工業(yè)是通過化工工藝將煤轉(zhuǎn)化為氣體、液體、固體燃料和化學(xué)品，生產(chǎn)出各種化工產(chǎn)品的工業(yè)。焦化、氣化、液化、合成氣化工這些不同的煤加工技術(shù)都屬于煤化工工業(yè)。Coal gasificationis a process that converts 煤的氣化是通過催化劑將煤由固體轉(zhuǎn)化為氣體狀態(tài)的過程。煤炭氣化的產(chǎn)品可用作燃料、化工產(chǎn)品原材料，也可用于發(fā)電。

Coal gasification has a history of nearly煤氣化在煤化工工業(yè)中已有將近100年歷史。在煤氣化技術(shù)發(fā)展過程中，大多數(shù)早期煤氣化都是通過將大量煤做原料經(jīng)過高壓轉(zhuǎn)化而成的，但這種方法可持續(xù)性較差。它會導(dǎo)致一系列問題，如：由于能量消耗高，規(guī)模較小，煤粉資源使用效率很低，還會造成嚴(yán)重的環(huán)境污染。從上世紀(jì)60年代起，煤氣化技術(shù)得到了顯著的改進(jìn)，尤其在70年代，石油危機(jī)的出現(xiàn)以及煤燃燒帶來的環(huán)境污染問題，致使全球許多國家和研究機(jī)構(gòu)對此給予了極大的關(guān)注。

The modern coal chemical industry can be 現(xiàn)代煤化工的工業(yè)化可以分為三個層次。首先是一次加工合成氣，就是將水煤漿或干煤粉部分氧化變成合成氣（一氧化碳和氫氣）。水煤漿氣化技術(shù)已經(jīng)在中國投入工業(yè)生產(chǎn)。第二個層次是二次加工（合成氣加工），這主要包括三個途徑：酒精、碳水化合物及其它碳氧化合物的合成。酒精合成又包括甲醇、DIVIE、乙醇的合成還有乙二醇的進(jìn)一步合成。第三個層次是深度加工，主要是對甲醇和下游烯烴產(chǎn)品進(jìn)行深度加工。這也是煤化學(xué)工業(yè)的支柱。

1、How can coal be processed? Coal can be processed through carbonization,gasifiction,liquefaction,synthetic gas chemical engineering.2、What are gasified coal products used as? They can be used as fuels,as raw materials for chemical products and for electricity generation.3、What were some of the drawbacks of coal?

In the early stage,coal was converted in a very unsustainable way through using large amount of raw material.It can lead to ineffective utilization of powdered coal resources with energy consumption and small scale,and serious environment pollution etc.4、What initiated the significant progress in?

The petroleum crisis and the serious coal-burning environmental pollution.5、What are the three levels to industrialize?

The synthesis gas,synthetic gas processing and further processing.（二十三）Resource Curse資源詛咒 Many African countries are blessed with 非洲很多國家都擁有豐富的石油和礦物資源，這些豐厚的資源本可以徹底改變這些國家的經(jīng)濟(jì)面貌。但是以往的歷史告訴我們這些資源更多倒像是個咒符而并非是個祝福。There are numerous examples of African 非洲國家中有很多這樣的例子，自然資源的發(fā)現(xiàn)帶來的是經(jīng)濟(jì)不穩(wěn)定、沖突和環(huán)境破壞。這樣的實例極其常見，以至于人們給這種現(xiàn)象起了個“資源詛咒”的名字。Resource curse applies specifically 資源詛咒這個說法尤其適合于一開始就沒有什么財富的貧困國家，石油或銅或金礦等重要資源的發(fā)現(xiàn)使得這些資源突然成了這個國家的主要財富來源。Theoretically the development of that 理論上講這些資源的開發(fā)會給擁有這一資源的國家?guī)砭薮蟮呢敻?，但是歷史證明這些財富卻集中到了一小部分人的手中——這些人壟斷著收取礦藏和石油的開采費，使得大多數(shù)人不能從這些財富中得到任何利益。

The result is repressive government that 這樣的結(jié)果導(dǎo)致了壟斷資源開發(fā)收入的殘暴強(qiáng)權(quán)政府和貧困人口的出現(xiàn)，這就將引發(fā)沖突。The reource curse is by no means 資源詛咒并不僅是非洲的特別現(xiàn)象，但它確實在非洲大陸引發(fā)了多次重大災(zāi)難和破壞。Government forces and armed groups 用出售資源換來的資金裝備的政府部隊和武裝組織一直為這些資源的控制權(quán)爭斗，使這些國家的暴力持續(xù)不斷。

Bloody conflicts in DR Congo,Liberia 在民主剛果、利比亞、象牙海巖和塞拉利昂發(fā)生的流血沖突都是由帶血的鉆石交易得來的錢資助的。

As well as promoting conflict,extracting 除了暴力沖突，開采礦藏和石油還會對環(huán)境逼睞巨大破壞，尼日利亞三角洲地區(qū)有記錄可查的6800起石油泄漏事件就是很好的例子。

As one might expect, the world’s three 正如人們預(yù)期的那樣，世界上最大的三個消費地區(qū)，北美洲、歐洲和亞太地區(qū)都是石油進(jìn)口地。其它的地區(qū)則都是石油出口地。The middle East still exports vastly more 雖然近幾年其它地區(qū)的石油產(chǎn)量在不斷增加，中東地區(qū)仍比其它地區(qū)出口更多石油。全球?qū)τ谥袞|石油的依賴使得我們不難理解中東地理政治的重要性。There is more trade internaionally in

國際貿(mào)易中石油貿(mào)易多于其它商品貿(mào)易。不論是以貿(mào)易額、貿(mào)易品價值還是以貨物運(yùn)載能力為指標(biāo)都是如此。每一種貿(mào)易指標(biāo)都因不同原因有其穩(wěn)中有降自的重要性。貿(mào)易額可以讓人們清楚地了解市場供給是不足還是飽和，以及貿(mào)易基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施是否能夠滿足所需的貿(mào)易量。貿(mào)易值可以使政府和經(jīng)常家們確定國際貿(mào)易格局、貿(mào)易差額和貿(mào)易收支平衡。運(yùn)輸能力則能使船運(yùn)公司確定貿(mào)易所需的船只和所走的航線。運(yùn)輸和貯存也在此起著重要的作用。它們不僅聯(lián)系著進(jìn)口商和出口商，也聯(lián)系著制造商和加工商、加工商和營銷商、營銷商和消費者。它們之間產(chǎn)生的相關(guān)費用是決定世界貿(mào)易格局的主要因素。Generally,crude oil and petroleum products 一般來講，原油和石油產(chǎn)品會流入可為供應(yīng)商帶來最高利益的市場。在所有條件都相同的情況下，石油首先會進(jìn)入最近的市場，這是因為運(yùn)輸費用最低而且會給供應(yīng)商帶來最高凈收入，用石油市場的專業(yè)術(shù)語來講就是“最高凈回報”。如果這個市場不能容納所有的石油，那么剩余的石油會繼續(xù)進(jìn)入下一個最近的地區(qū)，以此類推，這當(dāng)然會造成運(yùn)輸費用逐漸升高，直到所有的石油都被售出。

Even if the ash cloud returns often, 即使火山灰云經(jīng)常出現(xiàn)，市場經(jīng)濟(jì)往往也具有驚人的活力。日本神戶大地震或者9.11恐怖襲擊等可怕事件幾乎都沒有對全球經(jīng)濟(jì)產(chǎn)生持久性影響。盡管航空旅行的持續(xù)中斷會損害一些行業(yè)，但其它行業(yè)會從中受益。我們會用本地蔬菜替代沙拉，企業(yè)可以將核心員工遷往別處，持有更多庫存以防航空服務(wù)中斷，我們會順應(yīng)環(huán)境。Or would we?In a system as complex 我們真的會嗎？在一個像歐洲經(jīng)濟(jì)一樣復(fù)雜的體系中，我們很難對某一事件所產(chǎn)生的影響抱有絕對信心，看看對次級抵押貸款做出的明顯微小的誤判所帶來的損害吧。這就是納西姆.尼古拉斯.塔雷伯對“黑天鵝”發(fā)出警告時所傳遞的信息。一些看似不可能但又非常重要的事件時有發(fā)生。

1、What is the different impact of For the author,it was the end of the world.But for the people who stay safely in the UK,the ash could was not a very important thing at all,comparing with the Euro crisis and British election.2、Summazrize all the categories of things

The Kenyan flower business,salads,the system engineer,the components to fix certain machines and frequent flyers.3、Why have “market economies tended”

Because other sectors would benefit if some sectors would suffer from sustained disruption to air travel.4、What does the author mean by “others would”

For example,we’d substitute local vegetables for salads,while businesses would relocate essential staff and hold more inventory to allow for disruptions.5、What does “black swans” means in the Every now and then something unlikeiy but very important happens.（三十）Project Management項目管理 Project management is the application of 項目管理就是將各種知識、技能、手段和技術(shù)應(yīng)用到項目活動中，以萍蹤項目的各項要求。項目管理是通過啟動、計劃、執(zhí)行、監(jiān)控和關(guān)閉這幾個階段的實施和整合來實現(xiàn)的。項目經(jīng)理則是對實現(xiàn)項目目標(biāo)負(fù)責(zé)的那個人。Management a project includes:identifying 管理一個項目包括以下幾個部分：分析項目要求，確立清晰并可實現(xiàn)的目標(biāo)，權(quán)衡質(zhì)量、范圍、時間和成本間的競爭水平，并依照行業(yè)規(guī)范和項目計劃采取相應(yīng)辦法滿足利益相關(guān)者的要求和期望。

Project managers often talk of a “triple”

項目經(jīng)理們經(jīng)常談到的“三重制約”是指項目的范圍、時間和成本。這三者的權(quán)衡關(guān)系到項目完成的質(zhì)量。高質(zhì)量項目一定是在計劃的范圍、時間和預(yù)算成本之內(nèi)完成并達(dá)到項目要求。這三個因素間有著密切的關(guān)系，其中一個因素的改變會影響到至少其它一個因素也發(fā)生變化。項目經(jīng)理的另外一項責(zé)任就是應(yīng)對項目的不確定因素。項目風(fēng)險就是一種不確定的事件或條件，一旦出現(xiàn)風(fēng)險，它可能會給至少一個項目目標(biāo)帶來正面或負(fù)的影響。項目管理團(tuán)隊還對客戶、組織機(jī)構(gòu)和公眾等這些利益相關(guān)者負(fù)有職業(yè)責(zé)任。It is important to note that many of the processes 還需要注意的一點是項目管理的很多階段是重復(fù)發(fā)生的，這是因為在項目建設(shè)周期中需要不斷地對項目進(jìn)行完善。也就是說，隨著項目管理團(tuán)隊對項目了解的增多，項目管理團(tuán)隊就能達(dá)到更精細(xì)化經(jīng)營的水平。

1、What are the processes of project?

Initiating,planning,executing,monitoring,and controlling,and closing.2、What are the four things a project manager?

Identify the requirements;establish clear and achievable objectives;balance the competing demands for quality,scope,time and cost and adapt the specifications,plans,and approach to the different cocerns and expectations of various stakeholeders.3、What does “triple constraint” imply? “Triple Constraint” implies the project scope,time and cost.Project quality is affected by balacing these three factors.4、Who are the stakeholders to the project?

Customers ,the performing organization,and the public.5、Why are the processes of project management?

Because the project has to be progressively elaborated throughout the project’s life cycle and as a project management team learns more about a project,the team can then manage to a greater level of detail.二、英譯漢

1、There are many benefits to being happy.幸福有很多好處。越幸福的人往往越健康、越長壽、掙的錢越多。他們通常會從事更多的志愿工作、更善于處理人際關(guān)系、發(fā)出更對心理學(xué)家所說的“杜興微笑”，即真誠的微笑。我們了解不深的時，為什么幸?？梢詡魅?。

According to James Fowler and Nicholas Christakis 全球暢銷書《關(guān)聯(lián)》的作者詹姆斯.福勒和尼古拉斯.格里斯塔基斯發(fā)現(xiàn)，如果你身邊那些重要的人際網(wǎng)絡(luò)中有許多幸福的朋友、家人與鄰居，那么你將來也會很幸福。他們表示，更準(zhǔn)確的說，如果居住在離你1英里內(nèi)的一個朋友生活幸福感得到顯著提升，你的生活幸福感就會增加25%。

Similar effects are seen in co-resident spouses 具有同樣效果的還有同居配偶（幸福感提升8%）、居住在1英里之內(nèi)的兄弟姐妹（14%）和鄰居（34%）。這意味著，幸福傳播的強(qiáng)度似乎更取決于交往的頻繁度（與地域臨近相關(guān)），而不是社會關(guān)系的深度?？上в捎谀撤N原因，這并不適用于工作場合。

So,why is happiness contagious?One reason may be 那么，為什么幸福能夠傳染？一個原因或許是，幸福的人會與親朋好友分享好運(yùn)氣（例如，提供實際的幫助，活在經(jīng)濟(jì)上慷慨解囊）。另一個原因是可能是，幸福的人往往會改善自己的行為，會對周圍的人更加友好，或減少敵意。又或許只是因為正面情緒具有高度傳染性。

2、Once at a supermarket,I read a thought-provoking 有一次在一家超市的收銀處，我看到了一則發(fā)人深思的廣告，上面寫著：本店只用塑料袋。超市聲稱：事實上生產(chǎn)和運(yùn)輸同量的紙袋所消耗的能源和所排放的廢氣的危害大大超過了塑料帶不能進(jìn)行生物降解的危害。而且紙袋所占用的空間更大，需要更多的卡車運(yùn)送。因此，超市認(rèn)為使用塑料袋可以減少碳足跡。該告示促使我做了進(jìn)一步的思考。為什么使用了塑料袋后，不能每次再去雜貨店時帶上重復(fù)使用呢？如果能用上五六次，或者用到破了為止，你豈不是做了一件大好事。你也可以把塑料帶鋪在小垃圾筐里盛垃圾，而不用再買垃圾專用塑料袋。

3、A report,based on United Nations projections showing

一份以聯(lián)合國所做的經(jīng)濟(jì)和人口緩慢增長的預(yù)期為基礎(chǔ)的報告顯示，到本世紀(jì)中葉，人類對自然界的需求將達(dá)到生態(tài)圈自身生產(chǎn)能力的兩倍。在這樣的生態(tài)“赤字”水平下，生態(tài)資源的枯竭和大規(guī)模的生態(tài)系統(tǒng)崩潰將成為現(xiàn)實。Moving towards sustainability depends on significant 想可持續(xù)發(fā)展的轉(zhuǎn)變?nèi)Q于現(xiàn)在所采取的重大行動。人口數(shù)量的變化緩慢，而人類創(chuàng)造的資本，如住宅、汽車、道路、工廠或發(fā)電站等會持續(xù)幾十年。這意味著，今天所做的政策和投資決策將決定我們在21世紀(jì)的大部分時間里對資源的持續(xù)需求。

4、Our weather surely ie getting strange.天氣的確越來越反常。在人們的記憶中，龍卷風(fēng)似乎更加頻繁、旱災(zāi)持續(xù)更久、暴雨更大、洪災(zāi)也創(chuàng)下紀(jì)錄、在一些地區(qū)火災(zāi)史無前例?？茖W(xué)家告知我們，氣溫每升高一度，閃電數(shù)量就會增加10%。畢竟，在一些地區(qū)閃電至今仍然是引起特大火災(zāi)的主要原因。

5、An oil spill is the acidental petroleum release 原油泄漏是指由于事故導(dǎo)致石油泄漏到環(huán)境中的事件。在陸地上，由于原油泄漏發(fā)生在局部地區(qū)，因此其造成的影響相對來說容易清理。相比之下，海上原油泄漏會造成大范圍的石油污染并帶來嚴(yán)重的環(huán)境危害。約有70%的海上原油泄漏的主要原因與油輪和原油輸油管道有關(guān)，而海上鉆井和采油活動引發(fā)的原油泄漏事件則占很小的比例。泄露三萬噸以上的重大災(zāi)難性原油泄漏事故并不多見，而且近幾十年來這些重大事故也在逐步減少。盡管如此，這類事故發(fā)生依然會對生態(tài)系統(tǒng)，尤其是海鳥和哺乳動物，造成最嚴(yán)重的危害，并且導(dǎo)致海岸地區(qū)長期環(huán)境失調(diào)，對海岸商業(yè)活動（如捕漁業(yè)和海洋生物養(yǎng)殖業(yè)）帶來經(jīng)濟(jì)損失。Public concern over marine oil spills has been 公眾對于海上原油泄漏事件的關(guān)注從1967年開始明顯上升。較近的一次原油泄漏事故，即眾所周知的1989年?？松尽巴郀柕滤埂碧栍洼喸诎⒗辜又萃踝訛硵R淺事件。這次事故對脆弱的北冰洋生態(tài)系統(tǒng)造成了有史以來最為嚴(yán)重的破壞。從那以后，國際海事組織召開了眾多會議，幫助很多國家以及國際社會在處理這一問題上獲得了很好的技術(shù)、政治和法律上的經(jīng)驗。

6、Over the last few decades,with their fast development 在過去的幾十年里，西方文明在迅速發(fā)展的同時也埋下了毀滅的種子?，F(xiàn)代的生活方式以及所依賴得科學(xué)技術(shù)悄然把人們推向極其危險的境地——來自太陽表面的等離子球?qū)⒋輾覀兊碾娋W(wǎng)，造成毀滅性的后果。單單想想這一大災(zāi)難就令人毛骨悚然。很難想象太陽就這么抹殺了我們含辛茹苦創(chuàng)造出來的大量成果。但是，這是很可能發(fā)生的。太陽表面釋放著大量的等離子體——高能量粒子，一些從太陽表面逃逸，以太陽風(fēng)的形式在太空中穿梭。又是太陽風(fēng)攜帶者10億噸的等離子球，即使一顆進(jìn)入地球磁場，結(jié)果就可能是毀滅性的。

7、A group of scientists looked for many health threats 科學(xué)家們發(fā)現(xiàn)了手機(jī)對健康的多種危害。他們發(fā)現(xiàn)電磁波可以影響細(xì)胞，但是未必會對使用手機(jī)的成年人帶來特別嚴(yán)重的危害，然而對小孩并非如此。因為他們的頭骨和細(xì)胞還在生長，手機(jī)的電磁波較容易進(jìn)入他們的頭顱，他們的皮膚比成年人更容易吸收輻射。The hands-free phone has many benefits including the 免提式手機(jī)有很多好處，因為他使話機(jī)和頭之間的距離更遠(yuǎn)，降低了電磁波的輻射強(qiáng)度。你不用把手機(jī)放到耳朵上通話，避免增加與電磁波的接觸，只需要把手機(jī)放在膝蓋上通過耳機(jī)就能與對方通話。

8、The keyboard,being developed by the researchers 研究人員在研制這樣一種鍵盤，當(dāng)用戶按下一個字母或者數(shù)字的時候，它可以做出正常的反應(yīng)。用戶可以通過手指輕輕的上下觸摸鍵盤來滑動網(wǎng)頁；如果用力稍微重一點，則表明滑動的更快或者放大頁面的指令。這項技術(shù)有望于2010年或2011年運(yùn)用于手機(jī)上。

9、Energy is avaiable in many form.Some are renewable

能源的形式多種多樣。有些能源可再生，如重力勢能可轉(zhuǎn)化為水電。另一種可再生能源。如太陽能可直接用于加熱水和給住房供暖，也可通過光電方法（直接轉(zhuǎn)化）或者利用一組反向鏡系統(tǒng)產(chǎn)生蒸汽而轉(zhuǎn)化成電力。太陽能也可供助風(fēng)和波浪（例如不協(xié)蘭斯的潮汐發(fā)電站），或者利用海底和海面或地殼任意兩點之間的溫差而被間接利用。后者又被稱作地?zé)崮?。Other forms of energy are nonrenewable.These include 其它形式的能源是不可再生的，包括化石燃料如煤、石油、油砂、油頁巖和天然氣。這些燃料其它可看作是經(jīng)過幾百萬年太陽能作用的產(chǎn)物，是一種儲存的太陽能。

10、Many chemical compounds found in the Earth’s 地球大氣中的很多化合物都具有“溫室氣體”效果。這些氣體可使太陽的光弭沒有任何阻礙地進(jìn)入到大氣中。陽光到達(dá)地球表面時，其中的一商品化會變?yōu)榧t外線輻射（即熱量）被反射回太空。溫室氣體吸收這些紅外輻射并把熱量圈大大氣當(dāng)中。日復(fù)一日，從太陽發(fā)射到地球表面的能量與反射回太空的能量應(yīng)是相等的，這樣即可使地球表面的溫度基本保持恒定。Many gases exhibit these “grennhouse” properties.許多氣體都具備這些“溫室氣體”特征。這種氣體就存在于自然界中，如水蒸氣、二氧化碳、甲烷和氮氧化物，而其它的“溫室氣體”則完全是人類制造的。Levels of several important greenhouse gases 150年前開始的大規(guī)模工業(yè)化使主要溫室氣體的數(shù)量增加了25%。在過去的20年中，由人類活動排放的二氧化碳約75%都是由燃料化石燃料造成的。World carbon dioxide emissions are expected 人們預(yù)測2001年至2025年這些發(fā)展中國家的碳排放將會以平均每年1.9%的年增長率增加。這其中大部分的增長將會發(fā)生在以燃燒化石能源促進(jìn)經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展的新興經(jīng)濟(jì)體中，例如中國和印度。2001年至2025年這些發(fā)展中國家的碳排放將會以平衡每年2.7%的比例增長，這個數(shù)字大大超過了世界的年平均增長率。

11、In addition to the sewage,cities produce many tons 除了污水外，城市每天還要產(chǎn)生很多噸的垃圾及廢棄物。垃圾堆里大部分東西是瓶子、殘羹剩飯、塑料袋、廢紙、罐頭盒，甚至還有報廢的汽車。固體垃圾的問題越來越大。隨地倒垃圾會滋生老鼠、蒼蠅和蚊子并產(chǎn)生臭味。有一種處理垃圾的方法就是進(jìn)行衛(wèi)生填埋，將垃圾壓碎之后用土蓋上。

12、China’s investments in renewable energy in 2009 2009年中國在可再生能源上的投資首次超過了美國。2009年中國政府為開發(fā)風(fēng)電、太陽能和其它可再生資源共投資346億美元，同比增長了50%，這也使得中國成為世界上最大的可再生能源的投資者。中國的這項投資幾乎相當(dāng)于美國186億美元投資的兩倍。而美國，雖然人口數(shù)量要比中國和美國小很多，但在可再生能源上的投資卻排在世界第三位，他們2009年的投資額為112億美元。20國集團(tuán)（G-20）對可再生資源投資所做的研究還表明，目前中國已安裝完善的可再生能源發(fā)電總量已飛速發(fā)展到525億瓦特，僅次于美國2009年534億瓦特發(fā)電總量。

China is emerging as the wotld’s clearn energy 中國已成為世界新興的清潔能源發(fā)電站。擁有強(qiáng)大的生產(chǎn)基地和龐大的出口市場，中國目前正致力于大批安裝清潔能源發(fā)電設(shè)施以滿足國內(nèi)對可再生能源不斷增加的需求。僅僅在過去的六個月中，中國就已經(jīng)和一些美國的太陽能公司簽署了建造擁有4000兆瓦發(fā)電能力的太陽能發(fā)電站的協(xié)議。

13、Globalization is a fact of life.全球化已成為無法回避的事實。但是我們低估了它的脆弱。問題就在于此，市場的快速擴(kuò)展已超出了社會及其政治制度適應(yīng)其發(fā)展的能力，更談不上引導(dǎo)市場發(fā)展的進(jìn)程了。歷史經(jīng)驗告訴我們：這種經(jīng)濟(jì)、社會和政治領(lǐng)域的不平衡絕不會持續(xù)很久。The industrialized countries learned that lesson 工業(yè)化國家在遭遇經(jīng)濟(jì)大蕭條時付出了慘重、昂貴的代價，因此而吸取了教訓(xùn)。為了恢復(fù)社會和諧、政治穩(wěn)定，他們采用了社會安全體系和其它一些措施，確保了不斷邁向經(jīng)濟(jì)全球化而帶來的長期市場擴(kuò)張。

14、Social assistance is considered a job 社會援助被看作是一個職業(yè)，這是正確的。這個領(lǐng)域占該國家所有就業(yè)機(jī)會的6%，是由一些不以盈利為目的的公司和組織構(gòu)成的。他們的主要目標(biāo)是通過教育和培訓(xùn)的方式提高他們的成員或雇堝的生活質(zhì)量。此外，還要提升他們的產(chǎn)品質(zhì)量和可獲性。Many of these companies focus more specifically on 許多這樣的公司把重點專門放在那些最貧困的人群上，即那些從來沒有荏這的年輕人和長期失業(yè)的年長者，幫助他們培養(yǎng)最基本的工作技能。第二類群體主要是那些曾在傳統(tǒng)行業(yè)中工作的人們，他們發(fā)現(xiàn)曾經(jīng)給他們帶來一定地位的那些技能已經(jīng)不再被社會所需要。

15、The Internet is a giant network of computers, 互聯(lián)網(wǎng)是由位于世界各地相互通信的計算機(jī)連接而成的巨大的計算機(jī)網(wǎng)絡(luò)。The goal of your use of the Internet is exchanging 使用互聯(lián)網(wǎng)的目的是交換訊息或獲得信息。你只須知道你可以與互聯(lián)網(wǎng)上的其它計算機(jī)交換訊息并將你的計算機(jī)用作遠(yuǎn)端計算機(jī)的遠(yuǎn)程終端，而網(wǎng)絡(luò)鏈接的內(nèi)容細(xì)節(jié)并不太重要，只要網(wǎng)絡(luò)能工作就行。若將多臺計算機(jī)連接到網(wǎng)絡(luò)上，每臺計算機(jī)須有唯一的地位，地址可以是一個文字或一個數(shù)字。例如Sam的計算機(jī)地址可以是Sam或一個數(shù)字。Although all these services can well satisfy the needs 雖然所有這些服務(wù)可以很好地滿足用戶對信息交換的需要，但用戶仍需具備一些特不定期的條件。用戶不僅要知道信息資源所處的位置，而且還要知道一些有關(guān)的操作命令。為了減輕用戶尋找信息的負(fù)擔(dān)，近來出現(xiàn)了一些方便的搜索工作，如Gopher，004km.cnmunication carriers are expanding their 電信運(yùn)營商們正將銅線替換為光纖電纜以擴(kuò)充數(shù)據(jù)傳輸能力，即所謂的“帶寬”。光纖電纜，通過玻璃質(zhì)纖維傳導(dǎo)光信號，與傳統(tǒng)的銅線電纜相比，可使信號傳輸更快、傳輸容量也更大。在一些地區(qū)，運(yùn)營商帶將光纖電纜的客戶群延伸至普通的居民中。這樣可以使他們觀看有線電視、錄像點播，以及高速因特網(wǎng)服務(wù)等。Wireless telecommunications carriers are deploying 為了使自己在市場中更具競爭力，無線電信運(yùn)營商們正在使用一些新技術(shù)使數(shù)據(jù)傳輸更加快捷、使互聯(lián)網(wǎng)應(yīng)用更加方便。有了更快連接速度，無線通訊可以傳送音樂、錄像、應(yīng)用程序，下載其它內(nèi)容并在手機(jī)上播放，還能夠使用戶獲取大量數(shù)據(jù)。另外，隨著移動技術(shù)使用的持續(xù)增加，無線通訊公司也在不斷開發(fā)下一代新技術(shù)，這將使數(shù)據(jù)傳輸更加快捷。

18、Goverments around the world could make rapid 一份最新研究稱，各國政府可通過提高能源效率，來取代雄心勃勃但代價高昂的技術(shù)解決方案，從而實現(xiàn)迅速且相對低成本的大規(guī)模減排。The analysis,based on data provided to 這一分析基于咨詢公司麥肯錫(McKinsey)提供的數(shù)據(jù)。該項研究認(rèn)為，在抗擊全球變暖方面，節(jié)能汽車、節(jié)能照明和節(jié)能建筑等方式“更容易獲得成功）。The McKinsey analysis says that for 麥肯錫的分析稱，對美國而言，降低資料成本，將迅速抵消購買電動或混合動力汽車的前期成本，將降低車輛平衡排放量。報告估計，到2030年，通過提高車輛能效，每減排一噸二氧化碳就可節(jié)約79歐元（合119美元或合52英鎊）。通過節(jié)能照明和節(jié)能建筑的方式，相應(yīng)節(jié)約數(shù)字分別為50歐元和44歐元。Carbon capture and storage,a much touted 外界大肆宣揚(yáng)的碳捕集和碳存儲減排技術(shù)成本可能高出很多。在2015年美國，利用該技術(shù)從大氣中減少一噸二氧化碳的初始費用將高達(dá)76歐元，到2030年將降至每噸39歐元。US companies should also invest in energy 如果美國公司希望得到最劃算的結(jié)果，那么在從海外購買碳補(bǔ)償額度之前，也應(yīng)投資提高能效的項目。

19、As the biggest environmental meeting 在有史以來規(guī)模最大的環(huán)境會議在哥本哈根開幕之際，以科學(xué)為依據(jù)達(dá)成一項應(yīng)對人為造成的全球變暖的協(xié)議勢在必行。而英國東英吉利大學(xué)的電子郵件被盜后，引發(fā)的所謂數(shù)據(jù)的轟動，讓懷疑者振奮，也動搖了某些科學(xué)家的觀點。但“氣候門”并未改變真正的議題，即盡管存在眾多不確定性，但地球氣候發(fā)生災(zāi)難性變化的種種風(fēng)險，確定證明有必要采取果斷的全球行動減少碳排放。

While political realities will not allow 盡管政治現(xiàn)實不允許談判者在哥本哈根達(dá)成一項全面公約，但他們需要落實相關(guān)機(jī)制，以便在明年達(dá)成一個有約束力的約定。本次會議必須超越不可避免的討價還價和政治作勢并獲得實質(zhì)性進(jìn)展，讓世界各地的政界人士乃至數(shù)十億人相信：抗擊全球變暖是一項值得投入的事業(yè)。就商業(yè)規(guī)劃而言，也需要一條通向全球低碳經(jīng)濟(jì)的可預(yù)測的路徑。Copenhagen has to make progress on 哥本哈根會議必須在多個復(fù)雜的問題上取得進(jìn)展：針對發(fā)展中國家和發(fā)達(dá)國家的排放指標(biāo)；資助較貧窮國家的適應(yīng)與緩解措施；技術(shù)轉(zhuǎn)讓安排；以及一個管治架構(gòu)，確保商定的碳排放指標(biāo)得到遵守。應(yīng)當(dāng)傳承《京都議定書》比較成功的成果，比如其監(jiān)督機(jī)制，使之成為一份新的協(xié)定，當(dāng)然還要經(jīng)過精心考慮措辭，讓美國能夠授受。20、The term “biomass”refers to organic matter “生物質(zhì)”是指通過光合作用儲藏能量的有機(jī)物質(zhì)。它既能以植物的形式存在，也可以通過食物鏈轉(zhuǎn)化到動物的身體和糞便中，通過燃燒提供人們每日所需的能量同時釋放出存在于這些物質(zhì)中的二氧化碳。許多我們現(xiàn)在使用的生物能都來自樹木、干蔬菜、莊稼殘留物以及水生植物。在過去的20年中，生物能是人們最常使用的可再生能源之一，在發(fā)電方面的作用，僅次于水力發(fā)電。生物能的應(yīng)用之所以如此廣泛，主要是因為成本低和其自然屬性。正因如此，在整個世界能源總供給中生物能就占了這5%，而在發(fā)展中國家這一比例高達(dá)35%，主要用于烹飪（煮飯）和取暖。

There are two issues that affect the evaluation 有兩大因素影響著生物能是否能成為解決能源問題的切實可行的最終方案：有農(nóng)耕和生物質(zhì)產(chǎn)量的因素，還有將生物能轉(zhuǎn)化成可用能源或電力的工廠的因素。就每一個因素而言都存在著許多對環(huán)境和經(jīng)濟(jì)帶來的利益和危害。這就使人們很難將生物作為最具潛力的替代能源。例如，生物質(zhì)替代煤會大大減少導(dǎo)致溫室效應(yīng)的碳排放，但另一方面，由于使用木材和其它植物材料會出現(xiàn)采伐森林現(xiàn)象。我們都清楚伐光樹木和植物會帶來什么樣的問題：地下水污染、不可逆轉(zhuǎn)的土壤侵蝕，這些還會導(dǎo)致整個世界生態(tài)系統(tǒng)結(jié)構(gòu)的徹底改變。

21、The power sector accounts for around 全球二氧化碳排放量的40%是來自電力部門。很明顯，如果我們不在電力的生產(chǎn)和消費的方式上做出重大轉(zhuǎn)變，我們無法贏得應(yīng)對氣候變化的戰(zhàn)爭。隨著全球電力需求急劇增加，可再生能源技術(shù)必須盡快推出，為工業(yè)化國家和發(fā)展中國家提供零排放的可再生電力。Wind farms can be deployed at large 如果需要，風(fēng)力發(fā)電場可以大規(guī)模建設(shè)：科學(xué)家確信在2020年之前，全球排放量必須達(dá)到峰值并將開始下降，迫切需要大量應(yīng)用可再生能源來幫助實現(xiàn)這一目標(biāo)。建立一個常規(guī)電廠需要10或12年以上，而一個大型幾力發(fā)電場可在幾個月之內(nèi)完成。一座半竣工的風(fēng)力發(fā)電場就是一個小型發(fā)電廠，當(dāng)?shù)谝慌鷾u輪機(jī)連接到電網(wǎng)時就可以開始發(fā)電。Wind energy is a viable alternative to

風(fēng)能是一種替代燃燒產(chǎn)生污染的化石燃料的可靠能源——它不排放二氧化碳或其它空氣污染物。在3至6個月的運(yùn)行過程中，風(fēng)力渦輪機(jī)已抵消了在其建設(shè)過程中的所有排放，在其持續(xù)運(yùn)行的20幾年中，幾乎完全沒有碳排放。Over 140000 wind turbines are now producing 現(xiàn)在全世界有超過14萬臺幾力發(fā)電機(jī)，分布在70多個國家。其中包括歐洲、非洲、亞洲、北美、拉丁美洲和澳大利亞。許多風(fēng)力發(fā)電機(jī)都可以在惡劣天氣條件下，在沙漠、雪地，高海拔地區(qū)以及海上運(yùn)行。風(fēng)能可大規(guī)模地應(yīng)用在幾乎任何地方。風(fēng)能總資源足夠反復(fù)多次地為整個地球提供能源。

22、The coal chemical industry in China plays 煤化學(xué)工業(yè)對于中國是極其有意義的：它可以發(fā)揮中國煤炭資源豐富的優(yōu)勢、補(bǔ)充其天然氣資源不足的缺陷、滿足其對化工產(chǎn)品的需求、推動煤化學(xué)工業(yè)領(lǐng)域?qū)Ω鍧嵞茉窗l(fā)電的使用、并促進(jìn)其經(jīng)濟(jì)的可持續(xù)性發(fā)展。

The products of the coal chemical industry 煤化學(xué)工業(yè)的主要產(chǎn)品包括：煤焦、氣化煤、液化煤和電石（鈣化碳）。經(jīng)過20年的發(fā)展煤化學(xué)工業(yè)在化工領(lǐng)域也起著舉足輕重的作用。煤化學(xué)煤業(yè)主要通過使用煤作為原料來合成兩種基本產(chǎn)品：合成氨和甲醇。2005年，中國生產(chǎn)了2億3282萬噸煤焦，895萬噸電石，2500萬噸煤制化肥產(chǎn)品，約350萬噸甲醇。所有這些在世界上都處于領(lǐng)先地位。In recent years,the coal chemical industry近年來，由于國際石油價格的飆升，煤化工的優(yōu)勢迅速顯現(xiàn)出來。正因如此，煤化學(xué)工業(yè)已在中國得到廣泛發(fā)展。2004年7月中國投資制度改革之后，投資項目不再需要政府特別審批，因此，在中國各個煤礦開采地區(qū)，施工規(guī)模各異的煤化工項目也應(yīng)運(yùn)而生。

23、Take a look at Nigeria,which has the 讓我們看看尼日利亞吧，這個國家不幸擁有超過350億桶以上的石油（主要分布于尼日爾三角洲）。去年我訪問了這個國家，當(dāng)我窄虎哈科特港附近長滿矮小紅樹林的濕地時，目及之處，飛鳥幾乎絕跡，石油遍地——不僅從三角洲洲水面上矗立的銹跡斑駁的鉆臺上滴淌下來，水中、充滿石油味兒的空氣中以及燃?xì)獾幕鹧妫M目瘡痍的地貌燒焦的景象）中也都是石油。由于石油鉆探引發(fā)了大量的政治和經(jīng)濟(jì)災(zāi)難，尼日爾三角洲不再充滿著海洋生物而是充斥著暴力沖突——部落武士們聚焦成一個個團(tuán)伙發(fā)動了一場時斷時續(xù)的針對其它部落及軍隊的戰(zhàn)爭。

The harms sufferered by these countries 上述國家（還有其它許多國家）所遭受的損害，乃人們稱為“資源詛咒”的種種癥狀。——但一系列研究表明，那些依賴自然資源出口的國家，其經(jīng)濟(jì)增長率低于非資源經(jīng)濟(jì)型的國家，同時它們也遭受更大量的鎮(zhèn)壓與沖突。造成這一切的原因很復(fù)雜，但總的來說，對石油的依賴阻礙了對其它產(chǎn)業(yè)的投資，使政府較少顧及國民的需求，而助長了官員中尋求并接受不正當(dāng)資金的腐敗行為。一個石油出產(chǎn)國幾乎可以界定為一個功能失常的國家。

24、There are many types of managers and manys 經(jīng)理的種類有很多，管理工作之間兩樣存在很大差別。其中一個差別就是管理工作所包含的范圍，公司總經(jīng)理從事的管理工作的范圍涉及面非常廣。Functional managers supervise employees having 職能部門經(jīng)理通常管理某一專業(yè)領(lǐng)域的員工，如財務(wù)、人力資源、銷售、金融、市場或生產(chǎn)等。薪酬管理部門的主不是職能部門經(jīng)理。職能部門不像公司總經(jīng)理那樣有決定員工工資多少的權(quán)利，但是他們必須確保工資準(zhǔn)時準(zhǔn)確發(fā)放。通常而言，職能部門經(jīng)理對所管理部門的工作領(lǐng)域都具有豐富的經(jīng)驗和具體的相關(guān)知識，并且能夠熟知部門員工可能會遇到的問題以及如何把本部門工作做好所需的必要資源。General managers are responsible for the 總經(jīng)理負(fù)責(zé)經(jīng)營一個更加復(fù)雜的實體，比如公司。通常他們監(jiān)督職能部門經(jīng)理的工作?？偨?jīng)理們必須具備多種良好的能力才能把公司管理好。這些能力可以在正規(guī)培訓(xùn)和不同工作實踐中獲取，也可以簡單地在某一領(lǐng)域的實際拼搏中獲得。

25、HR policy and diversity manager at Allen 安理國際律師事務(wù)所人力資源政策及多元化經(jīng)理表示，那些像擰水龍頭一樣啟動和停止項目的企業(yè)，其做法是錯誤的，因為只有持久的投資，才能建立起多元化的人才庫。她表示：“擺脫衰退后，我們需要確保自己擁有最優(yōu)秀的人才”。Head of graduate recruitment at KPMG, 比馬威（KPMG）是Leading London項目贊助商之一。該公司畢業(yè)生招聘主管表示，物色“校園內(nèi)外”都表現(xiàn)出色的人才，是該計劃的一個重要組成部分。戰(zhàn)勝挫折是一項重要的“通用技能”。

Graduate recrtuitment partner at Herbert 史密夫律師事務(wù)所畢業(yè)生招聘合伙人表示，企業(yè)有責(zé)任高標(biāo)準(zhǔn)要求，詢問Leading London之類的項目組織者：“你登記的求職者中，有百分之幾被目標(biāo)雇主雇用了？” Sponsors for Educational Opportunity, 非營利組織“教育的機(jī)會”的發(fā)起者們努力培養(yǎng)實習(xí)生的人際關(guān)系能力和技術(shù)理解力，使他們超越自己的同齡人。該組織在美國、倫敦和香港都設(shè)有分支機(jī)構(gòu)?！癆n internship is effectively a 10-week”

Professor of ageing and ethnicity at the University 英國中央蘭開夏大學(xué)研究老齡化及種族問題教授表示，一些國家政府“甚至不要求公司調(diào)整員工的種族比例”。

The law firm Freshfields,Bruckhaus Deringer 律師事務(wù)所Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer也是Leading London項目的贊助商之一。該公司已指定一家全球多元化委員會，來吸引少數(shù)族裔和女性。該公司駐羅馬的合伙人表示：“企業(yè)有必要進(jìn)行辦作。不過，我們無法制定一項放之四海皆準(zhǔn)的總體規(guī)劃”。

26、The first step towards joining our company as 如果想加入我們公司工作你要做的第一件事就是到我們公司網(wǎng)站上的“找工作”一欄看看是否有什么空缺職位。如果你找到了你所感興趣的職位，你就可以在線填寫申請表格。48小時之內(nèi)，你會收到回執(zhí)確認(rèn)我們已經(jīng)收到了你填寫完整的申請表。在兩周內(nèi)，我們會通知你是否需要來參加面試。如果你的申請成功，一般都會在申請后兩周之內(nèi)收到面試的邀請。一般持續(xù)45分鐘到一小時，采取面對面或電話談話的方式。面試過程中，我們會就所申請職位的工作要求對你的經(jīng)歷進(jìn)行評估。面試結(jié)束前，你可以有機(jī)會向我們提出任何你感興趣的問題，比如工作性質(zhì)、公司文化、工作環(huán)境等。如果面試成功，我們會在面試后三周后請你來參加最后的測評。最后測評一般要持續(xù)四個小時，包括幾個步驟——安全討論、情景模擬練習(xí)以及面試。最后，你有機(jī)會就你未來的職位、報酬以及福利等情況與我們進(jìn)行進(jìn)一步的交流。我們也會爭取在這之后幾天把最后的測評結(jié)果通知你。

27、As a part of its WTO commitments 作為中入世貿(mào)組織的一項承諾，中國于2005年底開放了石油零售市場。到2006年12月，中國又開放了石油批發(fā)市場，允許外國企業(yè)在中國大量銷售他們的石油并與中國的國企石油公司公開競爭。外國石油企業(yè)可以在中國建立油庫、運(yùn)輸碼頭，并可以創(chuàng)建更大規(guī)模的銷售網(wǎng)絡(luò)。為了在中國獲取更大的市場份額，很多外國石油巨頭已經(jīng)投資擴(kuò)大他們在中國的業(yè)務(wù)并籌劃戰(zhàn)略措施以增加他們的競爭優(yōu)勢。

28、The total monetary value of goods a nation 在一定時期內(nèi)一國向國外出口商品的全部價值被稱為出口貿(mào)易總額。在一定時期內(nèi)一國從國外進(jìn)口商品的全部價值稱為進(jìn)口貿(mào)易總額。在一定時期內(nèi)出口額和進(jìn)口額的差值就是貿(mào)易差額，它表明了某個國家進(jìn)出口貿(mào)易額之間的關(guān)系。當(dāng)出口額等于進(jìn)口額時，該國處于貿(mào)易平衡狀態(tài)。當(dāng)出口額大于進(jìn)口額就產(chǎn)生貿(mào)易盈余，即貿(mào)易順差。反之，當(dāng)出口額小于進(jìn)口額時，就是貿(mào)易赤字即貿(mào)易逆差。貿(mào)易差額是衡量一個國家對外貿(mào)易狀況是否有利的重要標(biāo)志。

29、Economic disruption caused by airspace 即便隨著冰島火山灰消散，一些航班已恢復(fù)飛行，整個歐洲北部禁飛導(dǎo)致的經(jīng)濟(jì)破壞，昨天開始影響到全球經(jīng)濟(jì)的一些局部領(lǐng)域。An automobile company announced 一家汽車公司宣布，從今天起它將被近停在日本生產(chǎn)Cube小型車、Murano運(yùn)行型多功能汽車和Rogue跨界車，因為在愛爾蘭制造的一種傳感器供應(yīng)中斷。德國的寶馬和奧迪也表示，由于類似原因，它們將不得不讓一些生產(chǎn)線停工。The carmaker’s problem are typical 空運(yùn)不足導(dǎo)致的困難中，汽車制造商的問題頗為典型?？者\(yùn)行業(yè)在世界貿(mào)易量中所占比例極小，但集中于高價值、高時效性的零部件，如對于很多制造工序十分關(guān)鍵的徽處理器。Eurocontrol,the air safety

歐洲航空安全組織預(yù)計，埃亞菲亞德拉冰蓋火山的灰云團(tuán)漂移出法國、瑞士和意大利部分地區(qū)后，昨天在歐洲空可執(zhí)行大約1.3萬個航班，不到預(yù)定數(shù)量的一半。But British airspace remained largely 但英國航空管制機(jī)構(gòu)NATS表示，出于對火山灰威脅的擔(dān)心，英國6000米以下空域仍基本禁飛，這將影響到客運(yùn)企業(yè)，包括航空公司和旅游業(yè)者，也影響那些依賴及時交付關(guān)鍵零部件的工業(yè)部門。

Death and disease caused by polluted coastal waters cost the global economy US$12.8 billion a year.56、環(huán)境污染和自然災(zāi)害使經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展應(yīng)付出的代價。

Environmental pollution and natural disasters are the price we have to pay for developing the economy.57、化石能源的緊缺促使很多能源公司去開發(fā)替代能源。

The shortage of fossil has made many energy companies develop alternative energy soures.58、豐田汽車公司已經(jīng)開始大規(guī)模生產(chǎn)其混合動力車，這在很大程度上超過了其他汽車制造大企業(yè)。

Toyota Auto has begun mass-producing ite hybrid model Prius,which has leapfrogged other auto giants.59、政府通過政策激勵來促使國有企業(yè)節(jié)能減排。

Goverments are boosting energy conservation and emission reduction through policies and incentives.60、隨著人口的成倍增長，世界將會對能源有如饑似渴般的需求。As population multiplies,the world will become energy-hungry.61、當(dāng)今，經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)在商業(yè)方面起著越來越大的作用。商人們清楚的認(rèn)識到研究工作的重要性，他們需要通過研究來發(fā)現(xiàn)什么樣的條件有助于出售他們的商品，對他們的商品有什么需求，以及能夠得到什么養(yǎng)的國際市場等等。

Economics plays an increasingiy important part in business today.Businessmen see clearly the necessity tor research.They need research to discover what sort of conditions will help them sell their goods,what demand there will be for their goods,what foeign markets will be available and so on.62、20世紀(jì)30年代的大蕭條對大部分的美國人產(chǎn)生了巨大的影響。工廠倒閉，工人失業(yè)，公司和銀行破產(chǎn)，農(nóng)民不能償付貸款并失去了他們的農(nóng)場，他們中的許多人只能離開家鄉(xiāng)去尋找工作。20世紀(jì)30年代的大蕭條不僅影響了美國，它把整個世界攪亂了。

The Great Depression of the 1930s had a profound effect on most of the population of the United States.Factories closed and workers out of work;business and banks collapsed;farmers could not repay their loans and lost their farms.Many of them had to leave their farms to search for jobs.The Great Depression of the 1930s didn’t only affect the USA alone but turned the whole world upside down.63、近幾年來，計算機(jī)不僅被越來越多的人運(yùn)用于生產(chǎn)和技術(shù)領(lǐng)域，而且也用于日常生活。原因很簡單，因為計算機(jī)比人的效率高得多。他們比人有更好的記憶力，能儲存大量的信息。計算機(jī)可以做許多我們做的事情，而且做得更快、更好。他們可以在工廠里控制機(jī)器，計算出第二天的天氣，甚至可以做翻譯工作。

In recent years more and more people have used computers not only in production and technology,but also in everday life.the simple reason is that they are far more efficient than man.They have much better memories and can store lange amounts of information.Computers can do many of the things we do,but faster and better.they can ontrol machines in factories,work out tomorrow’s weather,and even do translation work..64、最初，iPad主要被當(dāng)做一款媒體消費設(shè)備——用它來讀書、看視頻或翻閱帶有視頻以及文字和圖片的新型電子雜志，要比用iPhone的效果更理想。但是，與iPhone一樣，關(guān)鍵之處將在與人們?nèi)绾谓邮芩?、使用它，以及?yīng)用程序開發(fā)者多快能找到利用其特性打造新體驗的方法。人們當(dāng)然有理由對它持有疑慮。它的屏幕更大，因此它可能不如智能手機(jī)那么便攜；它缺少內(nèi)置的鍵盤，因此作為一個輸入設(shè)備，它可能不如PC或Mac那么有用。但iPod的9.7英寸高分辨率顯示屏，將成為計算機(jī)播種夢想的下一個處女地。

Ipad used mainly as a media consumption device_a better place than the iPhone to read books,watch video,or flick through new electronic versions of magazines that offer video as well as text and pictures/But,as with iPhone,the real story will lie in how it is taken up and used-and how quickly other application developers find ways to exploit its uniqure characteristics to create new experiences.There are certainiy reasons for doubt.The larger screen may make it less portable than a smartphone,its lack of a built-in keyboard less useful as an input device than a PC or Mac.But the iPad’s 9.7 inch,high-resoluation screen is about to become the virgin territory on wich the omputer industry’s next dreams will be sketched.65、3G的全稱為第三代數(shù)字通信。1995年問世的第一代數(shù)字手機(jī)只能進(jìn)行語言通話；而1996年到1997年出現(xiàn)的第二代數(shù)字手機(jī)便增加了接收數(shù)據(jù)的功能，如接受電子郵件或網(wǎng)頁；第三代與前兩代的主要區(qū)別是在傳輸聲音和數(shù)據(jù)的速度上的提升，它能夠處理圖像、音樂、視頻等多種多媒體形式，提供包括網(wǎng)頁瀏覽、電話會議、電子商務(wù)等多種信息服務(wù)。

3G is short for the Third Greneration Communication.The first generation of digital communcation developed in 1995 only allowed voice transmission on the phone.By 1996 and 1997,the 2G digital cellphones had a new feature that is data transmission,such as emails and access to the Internet.The biggest difference between 3G and the first two generations lies in the features that voice and data can be transmitted at a much faster speed and that photos,music,and videos can be transmitted and that it provides services like access to the Internet,teleconferencing,e-commerce and the like.66、目前，碳捕獲和存儲設(shè)施已經(jīng)安裝到其他應(yīng)用程序設(shè)計的部件上。以石油公司為例，幾十年來，他們已將CO2注入衰退井中以提高采收率。

Current Carbon Capture Storage facilities have been patched together with components larely designed for other applications.Oil companies,for example,have been injecting carbon dioxide into fading wells for decades in order to enhance recovery.67、一個普遍存在的問題是關(guān)于海底或地下儲存安全的長期預(yù)測是非常困難和不確定的。儲存的二氧化碳可能會泄露到大氣中。

A general problem is that long term predictions about submarine or underground storage security are very difficult and uncertain and CO2 might leak from the storage into the atmosphere.68、全球變暖主要是由于人們焚燒化石礦物以生成能量時產(chǎn)生的二氧化碳等多種溫室氣體導(dǎo)致。全球平均氣溫總體看為上升趨勢。進(jìn)入20世紀(jì)八十年代后，全球氣溫明顯上身。全球變暖的后果，會使全球降水量重新分配，冰川消融，海平面上升，既危害自然生態(tài)系統(tǒng)的平衡，更威脅人類的食物供應(yīng)和居住環(huán)境。Global warming is primarily caused by the carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases from the burning of fossil fueis for energy by humans.The global average temperature is generally on a rise.We’ve seen a significant rise in global temperature since the 1980s.Global warming will result in the reallocation of global rainfall,the melting of glaciers,and the rise of sea level.This will damage the balance of the ecosystem and threaten food supply and the living condition for human beings.69、清潔能源是不排放污染物的能源，它包括核能和可再生能源?？稍偕茉词侵缚梢酝ㄟ^自然現(xiàn)象補(bǔ)充的能源，如水力發(fā)電、風(fēng)力發(fā)電、太陽能、生物能、海潮能這些能源?？稍偕茉床淮嬖谀茉春慕叩目赡埽虼巳找媸艿皆S多國家的重視，尤其是能源短缺的國家。Clean energy refers to energy sources that release zero pollutants.This includes nuclear energy and renewable energies.Renewable energy comes from natural processes that are replenished constantly,hydroelectric power,wind power,solar power,biofuels,tidal power are all renewable energy sources.Renewable energy sources are inexhaustible and therefore have attracted the attention of many countries,especially those with a great shortage of energy sources.70、生物燃料必須有四個特征。需要低成本—我們成功的基準(zhǔn)是1美元1加侖，即每桶40-50美元。生物燃料還必須要低碳。先進(jìn)的生物燃料還需要有規(guī)模效應(yīng)。如果只是生產(chǎn)出精品類型的生物燃料，那是毫無意義的。只有大規(guī)模的生產(chǎn)和銷售才能夠改變局面。第四，先進(jìn)的生物燃料從環(huán)境、社會和經(jīng)濟(jì)效益的角度講，必須是可持續(xù)的。

Biofuels have to four qualities.They need to be low-cost-our benchmark for success is $1 agallon,$40-50 a barrel.They must be low-carbon.Advanced biofuels also need to be scalabe.There is no point making boutique biofuels.Only mass production and mass distribution can turn the dial.Fourth,advanced biofuels have to be sustainnable-environmentally,socially and economically.71、煤的氣化在煤化工中占有重要地位，用于生產(chǎn)各種氣體燃料，是潔凈的能源，有利于提高人民生活水平和環(huán)境保護(hù)；煤氣化生產(chǎn)的合成氣是合成液體燃料等多種產(chǎn)品的原料。煤直接液化，可以生產(chǎn)人造原油和化學(xué)產(chǎn)品。在石油短缺時，煤的液化產(chǎn)品將替代目前的天然石油。

Coal gasification plays an important role in the coal chemical industry.The gasified products can be used as gaseous fuels which are clean energy sources,and which can improve people’s living standards and benefit environmental protection.The synthesis gas can be used as raw materials for many chemical products.Coal can be directly liquefied and can be converted into artificial petroleum and other chemical products.At such a petroleum-short time,liquefied coal products can replace the natual oil that we are dependent on today.72、資源詛咒是一個經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)理論，多指與礦業(yè)資源相關(guān)的經(jīng)濟(jì)社會問題。豐富的自然資源可能是對經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展的詛咒而不是祝福，大多數(shù)自然資源豐富的國家比那些資源稀缺的國家發(fā)展的更慢。經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)家將原因歸結(jié)為貿(mào)易條件的惡化，荷蘭病或人力資源投資不足等，主要有對某種相對豐富的資源的過分依賴導(dǎo)致。

Resource curse is an economic theory,usually refers to a social economic problem related to the resource of minerals.Abundant natural recources may rather be a curse than a blessing.Alot of the nations with rich resourses have a much lower economic growth than countries without an abundance of resources.Economists blamed this on terrible trade conditionss,the Dutch Disease or in other words a shorstage of investment in human capital and an overdependence on the abundance of certain resources.73、每個企業(yè)都傾盡其力來對付如何組織企業(yè)這一問題。組織結(jié)構(gòu)經(jīng)常需要反映出新的戰(zhàn)略、變化的市場條件以及創(chuàng)新的生產(chǎn)技術(shù)等方面的影響。全世界的公司都在重新構(gòu)造自己，一邊在當(dāng)今高度競爭的全球環(huán)境中更精干、更有效、更靈活。

Ever firm wrestles with the problemof how to organize.Reorganization often is necessary to reflect a new strategy,changing market conditions,or innovative producation technology.Companies throughout the world are restructuring to become learn,more efficient and more flexible,in today’s highly competitive global environment.74、企業(yè)像擰水龍頭一樣啟動和停止項目，這種做法是錯誤的。因為只有持久的投資，才能建立起多元化的人才庫。

Businesses that turn programs on and off like a tap have got it wrong because a diverse talent pool can only be built through sustained investment.75、她的公司最近發(fā)起了一項開放活動，讓倫敦一些貧困的地區(qū)公立學(xué)校學(xué)生前來感受辦公室的生活。

Her firm recentiy launched an access week to bring state school students from deprived London boroughs into its offices.76、一個23歲的學(xué)生16歲初到英國時，還是一個不懂英語的避難者。后來他成為了一名社區(qū)志愿者，學(xué)習(xí)會計和金融學(xué)，并獲得了一等學(xué)位。

One 23-year-old student unable to speak English,went on to become a community volunteer,studied accounting and finance,and earned himself a first class degree.77、要想在眾多應(yīng)聘者中取勝，要想讓你中意的企業(yè)也中意你，事先做好準(zhǔn)備功夫是非常重要的環(huán)節(jié)。首先要從正確給自己定位做起。那么不妨給自己提出兩個問題：我的興趣是什么？我愛干什么？準(zhǔn)備工作的第二步是做出好簡歷。好簡歷都具備一些共同的特點：簡潔、真實、重點突出等。

To win over the other job applicants,and to impress the company that you are interested in,getting well-prepared is vital.First,you should well position yourself.You may ask yourself these two question:What am I interested in?And what do I love doing?The second thing you need to do is to write a good resume.Good resumes constitute these characters:concise,truth-telling and attention-grabbing.78、?？松梨?、殼牌和英國石油等石油巨頭在中國大規(guī)模建設(shè)加油站，其目的是要最大限度分享中國的巨大的成品油零售市場。據(jù)資料統(tǒng)計表明，中國大陸成品油消費量已經(jīng)居世界第二位，在未來10年內(nèi)還將以每年4.5%的速度增長。

Oil giants like ExxonMobil,Shell and BP have been building up joint-venture gas stations in China,aiming at owning a great share of the huge Chinese retail market of refined oil.Statistics show that China now ranks the second in refined oil consumption and will increase by an annual 4.5% in the next decade.79、經(jīng)濟(jì)復(fù)蘇將大幅刺激中國這個第二大能源消耗國的燃料需求。2010年的中國原油進(jìn)口記錄將被再次刷新。根據(jù)數(shù)據(jù)預(yù)測顯示，2010年的原油進(jìn)口將增長9.1%，達(dá)到2.12億噸，平均每天達(dá)到430萬桶。與2009年的2.03億噸相比，上漲了4%。2010年中國國內(nèi)石油需求增速將恢復(fù)到金融危機(jī)之前的水平。全年的石油消費量將增長5%以上，達(dá)到1.27億噸。Economic recovery will greatly boost the demand for fuels in China,the second largest energy consuming country in the world.Crude oil import will break a recong high in 2010.As statistics indicate,ctude oil import in 2010 will increase by 9.1%,reaching 212 million tons,and a daily 4.3 million barrels.Compared with 203 million tons in 2009,there will be an increase of 4%.And the demand for petroleum in China in 2010 will soon resume to the pre-finacial-crisis level.And the total petroleum consumption will see a 2% rise,reaching up to 427 million tons.80、我開始給我在倫敦的同事撰寫郵件，指出歐洲航空旅行在多年內(nèi)變得完全不可靠的微小可能性，如果是這樣，那么全球經(jīng)濟(jì)也有微小的可能會遭遇嚴(yán)重打擊。這可能是最近10年內(nèi)最重要的事件，并非是本周第三大事件。

I started writing e-mails to my colleague in ondon pointing outthat there was a small chance that European air travel could be rendered completely unreliable for years,and if so there was a small chance of the world’s economy being dealt a shattering blow.This was potentially the biggest story of the decade rather than the third-biggest story of the week.81、隨著項目的進(jìn)展，預(yù)料不到的問題一定會出現(xiàn)。這些偶然事件會威脅到項目的進(jìn)度、預(yù)算或要求。在這種情況下，項目經(jīng)理必須決定怎樣將項目的一個目標(biāo)與另一個目標(biāo)進(jìn)行權(quán)衡。As the project progresses,uncertainties will emerge.These uncertainties will affect the proceeding,budget and requirement of the project..Project managers must decide,under this circumstance,how to balance one cbjective with another objective of the project.

第四篇：少兒英語教材綜合介紹

哪里的少兒教材比較好？

市面上的少兒英語教材品種很多，都有各自的特色，都是屬于時代的產(chǎn)物。我從事少兒英語教學(xué)教研工作十幾年，用過不下十套教材，現(xiàn)將我使用的心得與大家分享一下。少兒英語教材主要分為以下幾類：

第一大類：原版少兒教材第二大類：版權(quán)類的少兒教材第三大類: 本土的少兒英語教材

本土類的少兒英語教材就不多說了，比如什么洪恩、吉得堡、佳音、愛樂奇等，基本是剪刀加漿糊的產(chǎn)物?？粗呛莒牛菦]有課程體系，長期不出學(xué)習(xí)效果，不推薦使用！

版權(quán)類的教材主要是外研社的劍橋少兒英語，英文名字是KID’S Box，簡稱KB，我使用了大概6年的時間，在那個時代的確是非常不錯的。風(fēng)格有點類似新概念、Step By Step，英語基礎(chǔ)知識比較全面，側(cè)重閱讀，主要靠老師講解，比較少的游戲和對話互動的活動，課程氛圍會比較死板?，F(xiàn)在市場變化這么厲害，家長和學(xué)生的需求節(jié)節(jié)高漲，要求課程趣味性、互動性都很強(qiáng)，要求國際視野性，這些方面KB不能滿足。去年我們?nèi)€替換成了牛津的一款少兒英語教材Everybody Up。

原版的少兒英語教材應(yīng)該說是教材里面第一方隊的教材，大家聽得比較多的是Super Kids，3H，Backpack，LET’S Go，Everybody up等。

Super Kids簡稱SK，也是一套比較老的教材，引進(jìn)中國有七八年的時間了，有點類似KB的風(fēng)格，比較老化。

3H是一套獨特的教材，主要是故事教學(xué)法編寫的教材，也有七八年的時間了，市面上使用的人比較多。我在勵步的時候使用的就是這套教材。這套教材的優(yōu)勢在于故事性比較強(qiáng)，但是優(yōu)勢即劣勢，因為所有的單詞、語法、閱讀等的教學(xué)都依附于本單元故事的教學(xué)內(nèi)容，所以很多時候很牽強(qiáng)，無法螺旋式上升學(xué)習(xí)。同時，故事教學(xué)過多地依賴于老師本身，老師很難駕馭，很難保證學(xué)校有一個很好的教學(xué)效果，導(dǎo)致學(xué)校在使用教材的時候直接跳過故事不講，直接講語言知識！

Backpack這套教材我看過，教材不錯，但是難度比較大，主要體現(xiàn)在閱讀和Project上。本身的體例是不錯的，閱讀的時效性很強(qiáng)，但是同樣優(yōu)勢即劣勢，很多閱讀的內(nèi)容出現(xiàn)的新聞、話題等遠(yuǎn)離現(xiàn)在的生活，不能很好地吸引孩子學(xué)習(xí)。Backpack的配套資源比較少，加大了老師的難度。如果老師水平特別高，學(xué)生水平也特別高，可以考慮使用！

LET’S Go在全球有20多年了，個人認(rèn)為教材比較簡單，之所以名氣大是因為這個名字起的好，另外加上國內(nèi)上海教育出版第2版，所以很多人用過。我用過1年的時間。這個教材主要還是舊，所以編寫理念上有點落實，比如說現(xiàn)在提的CILI教學(xué)、Values教學(xué)、鷹架理論、批判性思維，這些理念在這個教材的設(shè)計中沒有體現(xiàn)，畢竟時間太久了，就像改造老房子一樣，再怎么裝修，也是舊的格局，不如新的房子的整體設(shè)計！

Everybody up是牛津大學(xué)出版社沉淀100多年來少兒英語教材研發(fā)的經(jīng)驗，針對非母語國家突出聽、說，培養(yǎng)英語綜合運(yùn)用能力為目標(biāo)，編寫的一套新的教材。我們學(xué)校去年9月份全部更換成這個教材，個人感覺使用起來還是比較不錯，聽、說的內(nèi)容很多，有大量的游戲、故事、歌曲、手工等，最主要的是給我們老師的配套還是很全，有教案、課件等，基本上拿來就可以使用，減輕了教研工作，還能保證課程教學(xué)效果，這點是我們最看重的！
