第一篇:有史以来最狂妄的英文演讲
graduates of yale university, i apologize if you have endured this type of prologue before, but i want you to do something for me. please, take a ood look around you. look at the classmate on your left. look at the classmate on your right. now, consider this: five years from now, 10 years from now, even 30 years from now, odds are the person on your left is going to be a loser. the person on your right, meanwhile, will also be a loser. and you, in the middle? what can you expect? loser. loserhood. loser cum laude.
"in fact, as i look out before me today, i don't see a thousand hopes for a bright tomorrow. i don't see a thousand future leaders in a thousand industries. i see a thousand losers.
"you're upset. that's understandable. after all, how can i, lawrence 'larry' ellison, college dropout, have the audacity to spout such heresy to the graduating c(请你关注wWw.)lass of one of the nation's most prestigious institutions? i'll tell you why. because i, lawrence "larry" ellison, second richest man on the planet, am a college dropout, and you are not.
"because bill gates, richest man on the planet -- for now, anyway -- is a college dropout, and you are not.
"because paul allen, the third richest man on the planet, dropped out of college, and you did not.
"and for good measure, because michael dell, no. 9 on the list and moving up fast, is a college dropout, and you, yet again, are not.
"hmm . . . you're very upset. that's understandable. so let me stroke your egos for a moment by pointing out, quite sincerely, that your diplomas were not attained in vain. most of you, i imagine, have spent four to five years here, and in many ways what you've learned and endured will serve you well in the years ahead. you've established good work habits. you've established a network of people that will help you down the road. and you've established what will be lifelong relationships with the word 'therapy.' all that of is good. for in truth, you will need that network. you will need those strong work habits. you will need that therapy.
"you will need them because you didn't drop out, and so you will never be among the richest people in the world. oh sure, you may, perhaps, work your way up to no. 10 or no. 11, like steve ballmer. but then, i don't have to tell you who he really works for, do i? and for the record, he dropped out of grad school. bit of a late bloomer.
"finally, i realize that many of you, and hopefully by now most of you, are wondering, 'is there anything i can do? is there any hope for me at all?' actually, no. it's too late. you've absorbed too much, think you know too much. you're not 19 anymore. you have a built-in cap, and i'm not referring to the mortar boards on your heads.
"hmm... you're really very upset. that's understandable. so perhaps thi ……此处隐藏2053个字……uangdong, liaoning, hubei, shaanxi and yunnan, while the eight cities include tianjin, chongqing, shenzhen, xiamen, hangzhou, nanchang, guiyang and baoding. lei hongpeng explains the government's thinking behind choosing these places as the first batch of the pilot program.
"i think from provincial level, the government selected these pilots mainly base on-every area, one province or municipality is selected. for example, northeast we have liaoning province, north china we have tianjin municipality and so on. for the cities, i think the governments really consider about capacity and their actions in the past several years, which mean the cities can go forward further with their strong experience and knowledge on low-carbon development."
by the end of august, these provinces and cities have to submit their plan to the national development and reform commission for approval. xu mindong, an official from the development and reform commission of hangzhou, talks about their plan.
"hangzhou started the preparation long ago, and we have an environmental advantage. the selected areas have their own unique features, some focus on new energy, some focus on ecological construction. hangzhou's emphasis is on six aspects, including low carbon economy, environment, architecture, transportation and a low carbon society."
the local governments in those areas have to manage to establish a data gathering system of greenhouse gas emissions, while combining the efforts of all their industries to achieve the goal of maintaining a low-carbon society.
for cri, im su yi.
值此第五届中国投资贸易洽谈会召开之际,我谨代表中国政府,向来自世界各地的嘉宾表示热烈欢迎!自1997年以来,中国已经成功地举办了四届投资贸易洽谈会。投资贸易洽谈会在宣传中国利用外资政策、促进外商来华投资、引导中国企业到海外投资等方面发挥了重要作用。
on the occasion of the fifth china international fair for investment and trade, i would like to extend, on behalf of the chinese government, my warm welcome to all distinguished guests coming from all over the world. since 1997, china has held four successful international fairs for investment and trade. the fair has played an important role in publicizing china’s policies on foreign investment attraction, promoting foreign capital inflow, and guiding chinese companies to
make overseas investments.
洽谈会采取“引进来”与“走出去”相结合、投资与贸易相结合、展示与洽谈相结合、项目推介与政策咨询相结合、商务活动与学术研讨相结合的方式。洽谈会为海外朋友和企业家了解中国、走进中国,中国企业家了解世界、走向世界创造了一个机会,开辟了一条渠道。
the fair integrates the strategy of “attracting foreign investment” by “going global”, and deals with investment and trade together. it is combination of exhibitions and negotiations, a venue for both project presentation and policy consultation, and a place where business activities and academic seminars take place at the same time. the fair has created an opportunity for foreign friends and entrepreneurs to know about china and make their way into this country; on the other hand, it has opened a new channel for chinese businessmen to get acquainted with the rest of the world and go abroad.
