男女平等实属天经地义。

Equality between men and women is fully justified.

Back 120

However, for many centuries women were denied the basic right to equality with men, and deprived of their dignity and the decision-making power over affairs of the state and of the family.

Front 121

Back 121

The world has long been under control of men.

Front 122

妇女不幸沦为二等公民，她们往往成了歧视、暴力和羞辱的对象。

Back 122

Regarded unfortunately as second-class citizens, women are frequently subject to discrimination, violence and humiliation.

Front 123

但是，事情总会恢复它的本来面目。

However, things will eventually return to their original nature.

Front 124

今天，男女平等在国际社会中被普遍视为一种人权，并已写入联合国宪章。

Back 124

Today, equality between men and women is generally recognized as a basic human right by the international community and has been written into the Charter of the United Nations.

Front 125

在过去的半个世纪里，世界各地有良知的男子和有勇气的女性一起付出了巨大的努力，在很大程度上成功地使占人口半数的妇女重新获得了享有与男子同等的权利。

Back 125

Over the past half century, intuitive men and courageous women across the world have made tremendous efforts and, to a large extent, successfully in enabling females, who make up half of humanity, to regain equal rights with men.

Front 126

我们寄希望于本届世妇女会，这是因为它将来采取更为有效的步骤来加速提高世界各地妇女地位的进程，使全世界男男女女能作为平等的伙伴共同步入21世纪。

Back 126

We place our hope on the current World Conference on Women because it will take more effective steps to speed up the process of enhancing the status of women worldwide, so that men and women across the world will enter the 21 st century in equal partnership.

Major reasons for the sustained poverty in some African and South Asian countries involve the backward economic infrastructure, frequent natural disasters, too rapid population growth, heavy debt burden, political turbulence and the chaos caused by war.

Back 521

An interview with a noted Chinese environmental scientist and economist on a series of alarmist articles written by American environmental researcher Lester Brown under the title "Who Will Be Able to Feed China?"

Front 522

按照他的算法在2030年之前中国对粮食的需求会达到6亿5千4百万吨， 而那时中国的粮食生产能力仅为2.67亿吨，布朗先生因而预言，2030年的 世界将因中国在粮食供应方面拿高达3.84亿吨的巨大缺口，而造成全球性 的粮荒。

Back 522

Base on his calculation that the total demand for grain consumption in China will rise to 654 million tons by the year 2030 while the country's production capacity will only be 267 million tons, Mr. Brown came to his prophetical conclusion that a global scarcity of food by the year 2030 will be caused by China's huge grain deficit of 384 million tons.

Front 523

你对此言论有何看法？

Back 523

Do you have any comments in this regard?

Front 524

我认为他根据人均粮食消费400公斤而对中国粮食总需求所作出的统计 是正确的。

Back 524

I think his calculation on the total demand for grain in China, which was based on the per-capita grain consumption of 400 kilograms, is correct.

Front 525

这是比较低的水平，却非常符合中国人的饮食习惯。

Back 525

It is a relatively low level but complies with the dietary traditions of the Chinese people quite well.

Front 526

但是，我又不得不指出，布朗先生那些关于2030年中国粮食生产总量以 及增长率的数字是完全错误的。

Back 526

But I have to say that Mr. Brown's figure about China's total grain production capacity by 2030 as well as its growth rate is by no means accurate.

Front 527

他的数字是根据21年前，中国粮食生产总量为2.67亿吨这一情况推算 出来的。

Back 527

The figure that Mr. Brown used was derived from that of 21 years ago when China's total grain production capacity was 26.7 million.

Front 528

那是非常错误的。

Back 528

That is quite incorrect.

Front 529

仅以1993年为例，根据1993年中国统计年鉴，那年中国的粮食生产已 上升至4.56亿吨的水平。

Back 529

Take the statistics of 1993. According to the Chinese Statistic Almanac of 1993, the country's grain production increase to 456 million tons that year.

Front 530

你可以提供给我们关于2030年前中国粮食总产量的估算么？

Back 530

Could you then provide us with Chinese estimations about the country's grain production by the year 2030?

Front 531

我们研究中心作出的估算到2020年为止。

Back 531

The estimation made by our research center is up to year 2020.

Front 532

考虑到周期性生产升降因素，我们的计算是，2000年中国粮食生产总 量为5亿至5.2亿吨，到2020年可达7亿至7.3亿吨。

Back 532

Taking into account the cyclical rise and fall of production, our calculations show that the total grain output of China by the year 2000 will be between 500 and 520 million tons and by the year 2020, between 700 and 730 million tons.

Front 533

我们的这个数字已经超过了布朗10年后的，即2030年的数字。

Back 533

This figure surpasses that of Brown's for 10 years later, that is, the year 2030.

Front 534

根据布朗的计算，他说中国的粮食自给率只能到达41%。

Back 534

Based on his calculations, Mr. Brown suggests that China will only be able to achieve a self-sufficiency rate of 41%.

Front 535

他的百分比数字是错误的，因为他们是由错误的计算得来的。

Back 535

Do you have any comments on this low rate? 你对如此低的自给率有何评论？ His percentage figures are erroneous because they are based on incorrect calculations.

Front 536

我们的估算表明了2020年之前中国95%将依赖自己的谷物生产，这在国际 上算是一个极高的比率。

Back 536

Our estimation shows that by the year 2020 China will be relying on 95 percent of its own grain production to feed the nation, an extremely high rate in the world.

Front 537

尽管中国有庞大的人口，但是目前粮食进口值占了总消费的2%。

Back 537

Despite China's huge population, its net grain import currently accounts for only about two percent of its total consumption.

Front 538

粮食自给是我国近半个世纪来的一贯政策。

Back 538

Self-sufficient in grain has been a policy that the country has been following for nearly half a century.

Front 539

基于粮食自给的原则，我们制定了计划生育、环境保护和良田保护这三 项基本国策。

Back 539

As such, three essential national programs-family planning, environment protection and the preservation of crop-lands-were based on adhering to this principle.

Front 540

此外，中国是个大国，从成本上来考虑，进口粮食只对沿海地区有利。

Back 540

In addition, taking account into cost, China is a large country and relying on imported grain can only be cost-effective for its coastal areas.

Front 541

而偏远地区和内地，因运输成本太高，从未依赖粮食进口。

Back 541

The hinterland and inland regions have never depended on imported foods due to the high cost of transportation.

Front 542

你能就布朗对中国未来食品问题的描述基于的逻辑以及你认为非常错误的他 的分析赢得相当多的支持的原因解释一下吗？

Back 542

Could you explain the logic upon which Brown's scenario about China's future food problems is based, and why his analysis, which you consider very erroneous, gained quite a number of followers?

Front 543

我认为这反映了长期以来西方许多政客对中国所持的悲观态度。

Back 543

I believe it was derived from the historically pessimistic views about China shared by many politicians in the West.

Front 544

美国前国务卿迪安•艾奇逊在45年前说过，中国众多的人口对任何一届 中国政府来说都是一种无法承受的压力。

He predicted that the only way out for China was to depend on American flour.

Front 546

而事实上呢，45年以后的中国成了世界上最大的产量国，并且基本上 解决了国内的粮食问题。

Back 546

The fact is that 45 years later China has become a top grain producer in the world and basically solved the problem of feeding its own people.

Front 547

统计数字显示，世界上只有两个国家能够承担12亿人口所需粮食的压 力，那就是中国和美国。

Back 547

The statistic figure shows that only two countries in the world, i.e., China and America, are capable of supporting population of 1.2 billion.

Front 548

然而，明显不同的是，中国仅以美国一半的可耕地生产了同样数量的粮 食，并且负担了近乎美国人口四倍的人民的吃饭问题。

Back 548

The marked difference, however, is that China produces the same amount of grain on only half the size of US crop-land but supports a population nearly four times that of the United States.

They have influenced the development of foreign trade in five different areas.

Front 553

第一，汇率双轨制的取消稳定了人民币的汇率。

Back 562

First of all, we want to broaden our own mental horizons so as to be more effective in developing a socialist market economy and to become better managers and policy-makers.

Front 563

其次，我们希望加强外贸体制的改革，是外贸逐渐走向竞争，并使之受 到诸如关税、汇率和利率等法律和经济手段的制约。

Back 563

Second, we hope to strengthen reform in our foreign system in order to gradually open foreign trade to competition and to get it under both legal and economic control, such as tariffs, exchange rates and interest rates.

Front 564

所有这些都应有助于加速中国外贸的国际化进程，为我们宏观经贸局面 的出现创造一个较好的环境。

Back 564

All this should help speed up the internationalization of China's foreign trade and create a better environment for bringing about our macroeconomics and trade.

Front 565

第三，促进贸易界、制造业、农业、技术产业和银行之间的更为密切的 合作，使我们能够为国际市场提供更多、更好的出口产品。

Back 565

Third, we intend to promote a closer cooperation among the trade community, manufacturing industries, agriculture, technology industries and banks in order to produce more and better export commodities for the international market.

Front 566

第四，我们要确立促进外贸发展的系统战略。

Back 566

Fourth, we like to establish a systematic strategy of promoting the development of foreign trade.

Front 567

第五， 我们要为宏观经贸的运作建立法律制度。

我们将注意力集中在发展外贸、引进技术和提供外援方面，我们还开辟 了其他一些途径，例如引进外资、外商承包工程、劳务输出服务、对外投 资、技术输出、与联合国等国际组织合作等。

Back 571

Even as we were concentrating on such things as developing foreign trade, importing technology and providing economic aid for foreign countries, we were opening up other areas, such as foreign capital investment, contract engineering from outside, providing labor services, investment in foreign countries, exporting our own technology, and cooperating with international organizations such as the UN.

Front 572

Our foreign economic cooperation and trade have been developing in many directions at once, closely combining products, capital, technology and labor, one sector helping to promoter the other.

Front 573

从财政上来看，我们取得了一些令人瞩目的成就。

Back 573

Financially, we have had some spectacular developments.

Back 582

Since 1991, we have lowered import taxes on 6.537 products and abolished the import regulatory tax.

对进口物品的官方检查和控制也在逐渐减少。国有企业改变了他们的操 作方法，在管理和进口方面有了更大的自决权。

Back 583

Official examination and control of imports have been slowly reduced as well, and state-owned enterprises have changed their methods of operation, gaining broader rights to self-decision in management and imports.

Front 584

所有这些做法有助于提高和加强我们作为一个进口国的能力。

我今天的话题是"轿车与空气污染"。

Back 645

My topic today is "The Car and Air Pollution".

Front 646

具体说来，我想先讨论一下轿车引起空气污染的途径，然后我们如何控制和 减少由轿车产生的空气污染。

Back 646

In particular, I want firstly to discuss the ways in which the car causes air pollution; and secondly, how we can control or reduce air pollution from the car.

Front 647

首先，轿车如何导致空气污染？

Back 647

First, then, how does the car cause air pollution?

Front 648

桥车内燃机实际上是一座小型化工厂。

Back 648

What happens is that the car's internal combustion engine is a kind of chemical factory on a small scale.

Front 649

内燃机所用的燃料是汽油和空气的混合物。汽油夹着空气，燃烧后产生驱车 动力。

Back 649

It uses a mixture of petrol and air, and this mixture explodes and burns, to produce the energy which propels the car.

Front 650

但是许多复杂的化学反应也同时发生。

Back 650

But while this is happening, many complicated chemical reactions are taking place.

Front 651

具体而言，部分汽油空气混合物不能完全燃烧，并且发动机产生的废气包含 着一些非常危险的化学物质，比如一氧化碳、氮氧化物、铅和碳氢化合物。

Back 651

In particular, part of the petrol-air mixture is not completely burned up, and so the exhaust gases from the engine contain some very dangerous chemicals, such as carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, lead and hydrocarbons.

Front 652

这是一种情况，如果我们不对它采取某些措施，这种情况将会变得越来越糟 糕。

Back 652

This is the situation, then, and it's going to get much worse, unless we do something about it.

Front 653

因此，我们现在应把注意力放在控制或者减少由汽车产生的空气污染方法上 来。

Back 653

So -- let's focus our attention now on ways of controlling or reducing the amount of air pollution caused by the car.

Front 654

我想谈一下可以采用的5种措施：

Back 654

I want to mention five possibilities.

Front 655

首先，我们不鼓励使用轿车。

Back 655

First, we can discourage the use of cars.

Front 656

例如，我们可以给汽油和轿车本身价更高的税 -- 特别是耗油量高的大型车。

Back 656

For example, we can put higher taxes on petrol and on cars themselves -especially the larger ones that use a lot of petrol.

Front 657

第二，我们可以鼓励在城市内部和城市之间使用替代的交通工具。

Back 657

Second, we can encourage alternative methods of transport both between and within urban areas.

Front 658

比如，我们可以使火车和巴士服务更加廉价和便利。

Back 658

For instance, we can make train and bus services cheaper and more convenient.

Front 659

我们可以在大城市建立公共交通系统，特别是像伦敦、纽约、莫斯哥和东京 的地铁系统。

Back 659

And we can build a mass transit system in large cities, particularly an underground railway system such as those in London, New York, Moscow and Tokyo.

Front 660

接下来，我们可以让内燃机使用不同的更清洁的燃料。

Back 660

Next, we can use a different and cleaner fuel for the internal combustion engine with other designs.

Front 661

目前有几种正在研究中，比如电力引擎、燃气轮机、蒸汽机等。

Back 661

There are several possibilities being researched at present, such as electric, gas turbine, and "steam" engines.

Front 662

然而，这些引擎的设计自身都有弊端。

Back 662

However, each of these engine designs has its own disadvantages.

Front 663

最后，我们正在尝试更加严格地控制内燃机释放的气体。

Back 663

Last but not the least, we are trying to control the emissions from the internal combustion engine much more strictly.

Front 664

比如，催化式排气净化器，它将汽车废气中最危险的成分转变成水和无害气 体。

Back 664

This, for example, is a catalytic converter, which converts the most dangerous ingredients of the car exhaust into water and harmless gases.

Front 665

以上是控制轿车空气污染的五个可行的方法。

Back 665

These are five possible ways, then, of controlling air pollution caused by cars.

Front 666

我相信你们都看到了，每一种方法都存在问题，但是至少它们都朝正确的方 向跨出了一步。

Back 666

As I'm sure you can see, there are problems with each of these ways; but at least they're a step in the right direction.

Front 667

也许最佳的答案是对五种方法采取兼收并蓄的态度。

Back 667

Probable the best answer is a synthesis of all five.

Front 668

Back 670

Today the traditional Chinese health preservation methods, such as Taijiquan boxing (or shadow boxing), static qigong breathing (controlled deep breathing exercise) and therapeutic massage, are gaining increasing importance.

Front 671

中国人认为，太极是天地万物之根源。

Back 671

We Chinese believe that taiji is the origin of all lives on earth.

Front 672

太极分为阴阳二气，阴阳二气产生木、火、土、金、水者五行。

Back 672

Taiji comprises yin and yang, two types of vital energy. The five elements of wood, fire, earth, metal and water derive from yin and yang.

Front 673

五行代表着或作用于人体器官，即火对心，木对肝、土对脾、金对肺， 水对肾。

Back 673

The five elements correspond or affect, particular human organs. That is the element of the fire corresponds to the heart, the wood to the liver, the earth to the spleen and the stomach, the metal to the lung and the water to the kidney.

Front 674

阴阳化合而生万物。

Back 674

The combination of yin and yang gives birth to all lives on earth.

Front 675

太极则代表了阴阳调和。

Back 675

Taiji represents the harmonious state of balance between yin and yang.

Front 676

根据《易经》记载，保持身心平衡是健康的要素。

Back 676

According to ancient classic the Book of Changes, maintaining a balance between the mind and the body is vital for health.

Front 677

中医药典《黄帝内经》开卷第一章提出了心神恬然以保气防病的理论。

Back 677

The opening chapter of Huang Di's Canon of Internal Medicine, the encyclopedia of Chinese traditional medicine, introduces the theory of maintaining tranquility to ensure vital energy (which is produced in a spirit form inside the body) and prevent diseases.

Front 678

这一理论已成为当今气功健身研究的基础理论。

Back 678

This theory has become the theoretical framework for China's current qigong and health preservation studies.

Front 679

太极拳、气功和按摩这健身三法，就是以《易经》、《黄帝内经》提出 的理论为基础的。

Back 679

The three health preservation methods, namely, shadowboxing, static qigong and therapeutic massage, are based on the theories outlined in the Book of Changes and Huang Di's Canon of Internal Medicine.

Front 680

长期以来，世界只知道中国有指南针、火药、造纸和活字印刷四大发 明。

Back 680

For a long period, the rest of the world was only aware of China's four major inventions: the compass, gun-power, papermaking and movable-type printing.

Front 681

几乎很少有人知道中国已发现了经络的存在。

Back 681

Very few know about China's discovery of jingluo that exits in a human body.

Front 682

经络是指人体内血气运行通路的主干与分支网络，针刺穴位散布其间。

Back 682

Jingluo is a system of internal main and collateral channels, regarded as a net work of energy passages, along which acupuncture points are distributed.

Front 683

北京经络研究中心通过现代科学方法，已经证实了经络的存在。

Back 683

The existence of jingluo has been testified by using scientific methods at the Beijing jingluo research center.

Front 684

经络的发现为《易经》和《黄帝内经》所提出的理论提供了有力的证 据。

Back 684

The discovery of the existence of jinluo provides strong support for the theories advanced in the classics of the Book of Changes and Huang Di's Canon of Internal Medicine.

Back 732

Some people predict that China can greatly accelerate its pace, going from an agricultural and industrial society to an information society with one fast step.

Front 733

几百年前中国的瓷漆被西方世界称之为"china"。

Back 733

Many centuries ago China's porcelain came to be known in the Western world as "china".

今天，"中国高速信息网络法"的英译文是"China's*High-speed*Information*Network*Approach"，如果我们将其中每个单词的第一个字母相 连，可得到"CHINA"一词。

Back 734

Today, the English version of "China's High-speed Information Network Approach" is also abbreviated to form the acronym "CHINA".

这是一个好迹象，它可能预示着中国在世界信息革命中将取得成功。

Back 735

This is a good sign, a possible prediction of China's success in the world's information revolution.

中国悠久的历史、广褒的国土、与世界各国和海外文化的广泛接触，孕 育了中餐烹饪的独特艺术。

Back 736

China's long history, vast territory and extensive contact with other nations and cultures have given birth to the distinctive Chinese culinary art.

Front 737

无容置疑，中餐烹饪已经名列世界顶尖菜系之林。

Back 737

Indisputably it is one of the world's finest culinary traditions.

Front 738

中餐烹调所用的天然配料，品种繁多，几无穷尽；烹调方法，亦层出不 穷，不可悉数。足以说明了中餐馆以及中餐烹调之所以名扬海外的缘由。

Back 738

The nearly endless variety of natural ingredients and methods of preparation employed in Chinese cuisine stand out unequaled in the world, which may very well account for the universal popularity of Chinese restaurants and Chinese cooking oversea.

Front 739

评判中餐烹调的优劣可依据中餐的三大要素，即"色、香、味"。

Back 739

The three essential factors, or key elements, by which Chinese cooking is judged are known as "color, aroma and taste".

Front 740

"色"作为"色、香、味"三要素中的首要标准，充分体现在宴会菜肴 的装盘、摆放和图案上。最能显示色彩的是首先上桌的那道煞费苦心而精心 制作的冷盘。

Back 740

The "color" of Chinese food, the first of these elements which is so evident in a Chinese banquet, includes the layout and design of dishes, best exemplified in particular by the large elaborately-prepared cold dish served at the beginning of the dinner.

Front 741

"香"不仅是指鼻子对食物的直接感受，它还包括所选香料的新鲜程度 以及佐料的合理调配。

Back 741

"Aroma"implies more than what one's nose can detect directly; it also includes the freshness of the raw materials used and the blending of seasonings.

Front 742

"味"则体现了恰到好处的调味艺术，当然它也包括实物的质地，以及 切菜的刀工。

Back 742

"Taste"is the art of proper seasoning, though it also involves the texture of food and fine slicing techniques.

Front 743

色、香、味这三要素的高品质，只有通过选料、调料、适时烹调、把握 火候、装盘上桌这些微妙步骤的细心协调，才能取得。

Back 743

These three essential elements, "color", "aroma", "taste", are achieved by the careful coordination of a series of delicate activities: selecting ingredients, mixing flavor, timing the cooking, controlling the heat and finally, laying out the food on the plate for the table.

Front 744

10人一桌的标准晚餐含四道冷盘、四道热炒，外加汤和米饭。外国宾客 见之，常常惊叹不已，将其视为一次丰盛的晚宴。

Back 744

Visitors to China are often surprised when a typical dinner for a table of ten people consists of four courses of cold dishes, four courses of hot dishes, coupled with soup and steamed rice; they consider this a lavish spread.

Front 745

但在中国人眼里，以这种规格的晚餐招待宾客，只是一种起码的标准。

Back 745

But in Chinese mind, a dinner prepared as above for guests is the minimum requirement.

Front 746

准备10道份量适中的菜肴并不为过，即使献上16道菜，亦不足为奇。

Back 746

Ten courses of dishes, not necessarily prepared in huge quantities, would not be considered excessive, and few people would blink at sixteen.

Front 747

在中国，一桌标准宴席包括四至八个事先制作好的冷盘，八道现做的热 炒、两道观赏性大菜（如全鱼、乳猪、全鸡等），此外还有汤、米饭和点 心。

Back 747

In china, a standard banquet will consist of four to eight prepared cold dishes, eight hot dishes served one at a time, two to four whole-size showpiece dishes (such as a whole fish, a whole suckling pig or a whole chicken), in addition to soups, steamed rice and pastries.

Front 748

晚宴结束前还有一道水果，来华访问的海外宾客应记住，赴宴不可贪 吃，每道菜浅尝即止。

Back 748

Overseas visitors should remember that it is often unnecessary to eat more than a single mouthful of a dish at a Chinese banquet.

Front 749

从这个角度上来讲，中国宴席犹如西方国家的冷餐招待会。

Back 749

In this way, a Chinese banquet takes on the character of a buffet reception in the West.

Front 750

中国宴席餐桌上的酒通常为啤酒、黄酒喝烈性白酒三种。

Back 750

Often beer, yellow rice wine and strong white liquor are served at a Chinese banquet.

Front 751

人们往往以"干杯"的方式互相敬酒。

Back 751

People at a stable will usually "Gan Bei" when toasting each other.

Front 752

干杯的意思是一口喝干杯中酒。

Back 752

"Gan Bei" means to raise up one's wine glass or liquor cup and drink it all the way down so that the glass or cup is "dried up to the last drop".

Front 753

"干"了"杯"中的酒，可以表示心诚和欢乐。

Back 753

People dry up their glasses to communicate the message to others that they are sincere and joyful.

Front 754

当然，外国宾客与中国东道主敬酒时，小啜一口也未尝不可。

Back 754

It is quite acceptable for a foreign guest to take a sip instead of emptying the glass when toasting with his or her Chinese host.

Front 755

但是，中国的普通家餐却完全不同与宴席。

Back 755

However, an average Chinese meal at home is quite different in composition from a Chinese banquet.

Front 756

一个成年人平时在家就餐时，通常只吃两小碗米饭，或一大碗面条，或 几只馒头，外加几个荤素炒菜，而非以菜为主，以米饭或面食为辅。

Back 756

At an everyday home meal, an adult may consume two small bowls of steamed rice, or a large bowel of noodles, or several pieces of steamed bread, accompanied by several meat or vegetable dishes, but not the other way round.

Front 757

对大多数中国人来说，从一餐饭中所摄取的热量有75%来自谷粮。

Back 757

For most Chinese, about 75 percent of an average meal's calories comes from grain sources instead of meat or vegetable dishes.

Front 758

作为一种世代相袭的传统，中国人就餐时围桌而坐，人人手里都有一碗 主食，炒菜放在桌子中央，大家一起食用。

Back 758

Traditionally, everyone at the Chinese dining table has his or her own bowl of staple food, that is, steamed rice, noodles or steamed bread, while the dishes are placed in the middle of the dinner table to be shared by all.

Front 759

这一古老的风俗习惯反映了食物在中华文明史上的重要地位： 占据餐 桌中心位置的是炒菜，而不是鲜花，晚餐的主要话题常常是食物。

Back 759

This age-old custom is one manifestation of the importance of food in Chinese civilization: It is the cooked dishes, rather than flowers, that serve as centerpieces on a Chinese table; food is frequently the main topic of dinner-time conversation.

Front 760

菜肴的各种色彩和材料搭配，给人以美的享受，共食一碗菜的习俗有助 于家庭成员之间的团结和友谊。

Back 760

Variety in the color and texture of the dishes serves aesthetic ends, while the ritual of sharing the food from the same dish plates is conducive to family togetherness and friendship.

Front 761

当然，在一些卫生意识比较强的地方，人们在共食放在餐桌中央的菜肴 时，必须使用"公筷"或"公用"汤匙，以防疾病传染。

Back 761

In more health conscious environments, however, only "public" chopsticks and spoons are used to remove food from the plates in the middle of the dining-table, so as to prevent any possible spread of diseases.

Front 762

以上所介绍的情况对外国客人来说，虽不应是一种离奇的"天方夜 谭"，却也说明中国人在饮食方面所持的价值观与西方人有很大的不同。

Back 762

While none of the above observations should not strike a foreign visitor as particularly strange or exotic, they demonstrate that the Chinese approach some aspects of catering service with a set of values very different from those in the West.

Front 763

不过，中国人民与世界各族人民都有一个相同的基本概念，那就是，亲 朋好友相聚，美味佳肴、琼浆玉液相敬，实属人生之最大快乐也。

Back 763

There is one key concept, however, which the Chinese share with the rest of the world. That is, fine food and drink, taken in the company of good friends, is one of life's supreme pleasures.

Back 765

The United States is traditionally famous for its very sold and unchanging diet of meat and potatoes.

Back 766

Now we have many different alternativesto choose from: various ethnic foods, nutrition-balanced health food, and convenient and delicious fast food, in addition to the traditional home-cooked meal.

Front 767

民族餐馆在美国比比皆是。

Back 767

Ethnic restaurants are commonplace in the United States.

Front 768

因为美国是一个移民国家，以有着丰富多彩、纷然杂陈的饮食文化。

Back 768

Because the United States is a country of immigrants, there is an immense variety in its catering cultures.

Front 769

美国任何一座城市，外国风味餐馆都随处可见。

Back 769

Any large American city is filled with restaurants serving international cooking.

Front 770

许多城市甚至拥有少数民族聚集区，如中国城（即唐人街）、小意大利城、 德国城等。

Many cities even have ethic sections: Chinatown, Little Italy, or Germantown.

Front 771

有如此之多的民族餐馆可供选择，我们可以吃遍天下菜了。

Back 771

With this vast ethnic choice, we can enjoy food from all over the world.

Front 772

对于那些来美国旅游或工作的人来说，一想到这点便会深感愉快，他们可以 在美国找到自己家乡的特色菜。

Back 772

This is a pleasant thought for those who come here to travel or to work; they can usually find their native specialties.

Front 773

除了少数民族聚集区外，还有一些地区也因其在当地定居的外族人开设了民 族风味馆而闻名。

Back 773

Besides sections of the cities, there are regions which are well known for certain food because of the people who settle there.

Front 774

比如，南部加利福尼亚拥有墨西哥餐馆，而路易斯安娜的食物具有强烈的克 利尔风味。

Back 774

For example, southern California has many Mexican restaurants, and Louisiana has a strong Creole accent to its food.

Front 775

克利尔风味是混合了法国、非洲和加勒比海岛菜风味的混合菜系。

Back 775

Creole is mixture of French, African, and Caribbean Island food.

Front 776

保健餐因人们开始重视自身健康受到欢迎。

Back 776

Health food gained popularity when people began to think more seriously about their physical well-being.

Front 777

"保健餐"这种说法本身就是具有一种讽刺意味，因为其言下之意还有一种 "非健康餐"。

Back 777

The very term "health food" is ironic because it implies that there is also "unhealthy" food.

Front 778

保健餐包括那些尽可能不予以加工的天然食品，就是说，这些食品里不含盐 厂食物保鲜期的防腐剂。

Back 778

Health food includes natural food with minimal processing, i.e., there are no preservatives to help it last longer or other chemicals to make it taste or look better.

Front 779

热衷食用保健餐的大多数都是素食者。他们不吃肉类食物，喜从豆类、 奶酪和鸡蛋等事务中获取人体所需的蛋白质。

Back 779

Most health food enthusiasts are vegetarians: They eat no meat; they prefer to get their essential proteins from other sources, such as beams, cheese, and eggs.

美国人的生活中，速度是最重要的部分。

Back 781

Speed is a very important factor in the life of an American.

Front 782

通常人们的午餐休息时间很短，即使午餐时间充裕，美国人也不愿在用餐上 花费过多的时间。

Back 782

People usually have a short lunch break or they just do not want to waste their time eating.

Front 783

由于快餐饮食店可以在很短时间里向数以百计的客人共餐，所以人们通常无 需排队。

Back 783

Because fast-food restaurants are places which take care of hundreds of people in a short time, there is usually very little waiting.

Front 784

快餐食品的价格总是低廉的。

Back 784

And the food is always cheap.

Front 785

烹制汉堡包、批萨馅饼和炸鸡的餐馆均属这一类快餐饮食店。

Back 785

Some examples are burger, pizza and fried chicken places.

Front 786

美国人对饮食的看法也在发生变化。

Americans' attitude toward food is changing, too.

Front 787

早餐须风盛的传统饮食习惯已为越来越多的人所抛弃。

Back 787

The traditional big breakfast is losing popularity.

Front 788

人们正在重新认识饮食的社会意义。

Back 788

People are rediscovering the social importance of food.

Front 789

与家人或朋友共同进餐又成了即可享受人生乐趣，又可互相交流信息的一种 非常特殊的方式。

Back 789

Dinner with family or friends is again becoming a very special way of enjoying and sharing.

Front 790

虽然许多美国人仍然会站在汉堡包摊前匆匆打发自己的午餐，但是在晚餐 时，美国人同其他国家的许多人一样，会静下心来从容不迫地品尝菜肴美 味。

Back 790

Like so many people in other cultures, many Americans are taking time to relax and enjoy the finer tastes at dinner, even if they still rush through lunch at a hamburger stand.

Front 791

如果某人说"我喜欢中国菜"，这种说法似乎过于简单了。

Back 791

If you hear someone say "I like Chinese food", he is taking too much for granted.

Front 792

其实并不存在所谓的"中国菜"这一简单的概念。

Back 792

As a matter of fact, there is no such simple thing as the so-called "Chinese food".

Front 793

确切的说法应该是喜欢某一种菜系，或者喜欢某一地区的中国菜。

Back 793

A more accurate statement in this instance should be such that expresses one's preference for a particular Chinese cuisine or a particular regional way of cooking.

Front 794

像中国这样幅员辽阔、历史悠久而又复杂的国家，千百年来必然会形成 具有鲜明地方烹饪特色的区域性菜系或帮菜。

Back 794

With a territory as large and a history as long and complex as China's, it is inevitable that distinct regional differencesin cuisine have evolved over the course of centuries.

Front 795

这种不可避免的差异是由地理位置、气候条件、交通状况、人口迁移、 海外文化影响等因素所决定的。

Back 795

Numerous factors are involved in this inevitable distinction: geography, climate, transportation, migration, influence from overseas cultures, etc.

Front 796

虽然中国究竟有多少种地方菜系并无定论，但是有关人士认为，中国有 山东菜、四川菜、粤（广东）菜和扬州菜等四大地方菜系。福建-台湾菜通 常被列为第五种地方菜系。

Back 796

Although there is no agreement on the precisenumber of Chinese regional cuisine, those concerned with such matters agree that the four principal culinary regions are Shandong, Sichuan, Canton(Guangdong) and Yangzhou, with Fujian-Taiwan most commonly listed as a fifth.

Front 797

必须指出，这种区域划分并无严格的地理界线。

Back 797

It should be pointed out that these designations are not hard and fast geographical boundaries.

Front 798

北京菜虽属山东菜系，却也融入了一些四川菜的特色，并受到蒙古菜的 影响。

Back 798

Beijing food, for instance, falls within the realm of Shandong cooking, but includes some Sichuan dishes and Mongolian-influenced specialties.

Front 799

又如，扬州菜系的范围，覆盖了汇集无锡、苏州、上海和杭州等菜式、 人口居住稠密的整个长江三角洲地区。

Back 799

while the cuisine of the entire densely populated Yangtze River delta area, including Wuxi, Suzhou, Shanghai and Hangzhou dishes, falls under the category of Yangzhou cuisine.

Front 800

由于地方菜系之间存在着频频交覆现象，以及相互借鉴的情况，人们因 而认为，区分地方菜系最为简便的方法是按菜的知名度，而不是按菜的烹调 风格或口味进行辨别。

Back 800

The frequent overlapping and borrowing that take place among the regional cuisine leads one to the conclusion that they are most conveniently distinguished by their famous dishes, rather than by any prevailing style or taste.

Front 801

中国四大菜系大致可按一下这些特点区分：

Back 801

The four major cuisine traditions in China can be roughly distinguished by these generalities:

Front 802

山东菜系通常较咸，汁色普遍较浅。

Back 802

Shandong cuisine is generally salty, with the prevalence of light-colored sauces.

Front 803

四川菜系口味重，以麻辣著称。

Back 803

With a rich variety of strong flavors, Sichuan cuisine is best known for being spicy-hot.

Front 804

最难归类的粤菜强调轻炒浅煮，选料似乎不受限制。

Back 804

Canton cuisine, the hardest to categorize, emphasizes light cooking and seemingly limitless range of ingredients.

Front 805

扬州菜系注重选料的原味，它实际上揉合了南北菜系之精华。

Back 805

While emphasizing the original flavors of carefully selected ingredients, Yangzhou cuisine is essentially a combination of the best elements of northern and southern cooking.

Front 806

也有人以八个字来归纳四大菜系的口味特点，即"南淡北咸，东甜西 辣"。

Back 806

According to some others, the characteristic flavors of China's four major cuisines can be summed up in the following expression:" The light southern (Canton) cuisine, and the salty northern (Shandong) cuisine; the sweet eastern (Yangzhou) cuisine, and the spicy western (Sichuan) cuisine."

Front 807

在美国你可以找到任何一种餐馆。

Back 807

Back 808

If you're in a hurry, you may just want to grab some "junk food" at a grocery store, or you can get a bite to eat at one of the many fast food chains, like McDonald's, Burger King, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Pizza Hut, or Taco Bell.

Front 809

你可以上三明治店或者熟食店买一块"英雄"型或者"潜水艇"型大三明 治，你可以"堂吃"，也可以"外卖"。

Back 809

Or you can get a hero or submarine sandwich "to stay" or "to go" from a sandwich shop or deli.

Front 810

这类快餐店有的甚至连餐桌都没有。

Back 810

Some of these places have tables, but many don't.

Front 811

人们买了一份快餐后，有的拿到自己的车里去吃，有的拿回自己的家里去 吃，也有的拿到办公室或公园里去吃。

Back 811

People eat in their cars or take their food home, to their offices or to parks.

Front 812

如果您既想坐在餐桌边上吃，同时又不愿多破费，那么你不妨可以去自助餐 厅。

Back 812

If you prefer sitting down but still don't want to spend much, you can try a cafeteria.

Front 813

在那里，你可以先挑选自己喜欢的食物，然后到帐台付钱。

Back 813

At all of these places, you pick and choose your own food and then pay at a cash register.

Front 814

不过通常用完餐后，你得把自己餐盘从餐桌上端走。

Back 814

But you usually have to clear the table when you finish!

Front 815

咖啡馆通常比高级餐馆便宜，装潢也没有高级餐馆那么讲究。

Back 815

Coffee shops are usually less expensive and less dressy than fine restaurants.

Front 816

比萨馅饼店、薄煎饼店、三明治店和家庭餐馆等，都属于价格较为便宜、装 潢较为朴素的餐饮场所。

Back 816

So are pizza places, pancake house, sandwich shops and family restaurants.

Front 817

当然一家餐馆的名称不一定能告诉你这家餐馆的情况，也说明不了那里食物 的品质。

Back 817

But the name of a restaurant won't necessarily tell you much about the kind of place it is or the food it serves.

Front 818

同大多数快餐饮食店和自助餐厅一样，许多餐馆不供应酒。

Back 818

Like most fast food restaurants and cafeterias, many restaurants don't serve alcoholic beverages.

Front 819

这样做常常是为了使带孩子上餐馆的客人可以无所顾忌。

Back 819

This is often because they want people to feel comfortable bringing their children.

Front 820

未成年人可以进供应啤酒和果子酒的餐馆就餐，但是他们不可以进小酒店、 酒菜馆、鸡尾酒室或酒吧这些场所。

Back 820

Minors can eat at restaurants that serve beer and wine, but they are not allowed to enter pubs, taverns, cocktail lounges or bars.

Front 821

你可能会被要求出示某张可以证明自己年龄的身份证，然后方可进入这 些场所。

Back 821

You may be asked to show some ID that proves your age before you go into a bar.

Front 822

在美国，法律规定21岁以下者不得饮酒。

In the United States, the law forbids people under the age of 21 from drinking alcoholic beverages.

Back 961

As a result, we'd like to quote our new customers the most reasonable price to start our business relationship for the future, even at the cost of a substantial loss on our part.

但是从我对汽车零部件市场所掌握的信息来看，贵方的报盘没有吸引 力。此外我还需要时间来树立对贵方产品质量的信心。如果您不愿给我方一 些合理折扣，我打算等一下，先到别处看看再说。

Back 962

But my knowledge of the auto parts market tells me that your offer is very unattractive. Besides, I need time to build up my confidence in the quality of your stuff. In any case, I'd rather wait and hunt around, if you were unable to include any reasonable discount.

虽然我们的周边国家和地区或许会以较 低地的价格吸引客户，但是我们保证质量的做法，加上这次大幅度价格下 调，一定会在市场上取胜。

Back 971

Although some new manufacturers from our surrounding countries and regions may attract their customers with lower prices, our quality guarantee policy plus this latest substantial price reduction is sure to prevail.

Front 972

实话对您说，我们的老客户，我相信也包括您在 内，没有谁转到其他厂商哪儿去。相反，我们还接到许多新客户的订单。我 们的报盘是合情合理的。

Back 972

To tell you the truth, none of our old customers, including you I believe, has ever turned to any other suppliers. On the contrary, we have received orders form quite a few new customers. Our offer is indeed well-grounded.

You're a real business negotiator, but if you hang on to the listed quotations, it's impossible for us to come to terms.

我认为您的报价不符合市场行情。我希望您考虑一下我方的还盘。我们毕竟 是做了近10年生意的老主顾了。

Back 974

I don't think your offer is in line with the current market. I do hope you'll consider our counter-offer. After all, we've had a business relationship for almost ten years.

Front 975

好吧！为了庆祝我们10年来在省以上的合作，也为了继续推进我们的商 务关系，我乐意给您追加1.5%的特别折扣。这已远远低于我方的最低价 了，所以我再也不能接受还价了。我希望您理解我的处境，我可不想丢了自 己的饭碗啊！

Back 975

All right, I'm willing to grant you a special reduction of an additional 1.5% discount in honor of our ten years' business cooperation and to promote our business relation into the future. This is far below my floor offer and therefore, I'm not prepared for any counter-bid. I hope you understand my situation. I don't want to lose my job, you know.

当然，美国苹果还不会很快成为中国人的主要水果。由于从美国进口的水果 含40%的关税和17%的增值税，所以其价格至少是当地产的各类水果的五 倍。
