2、将听到的是一段有关经济发展的讲话。I would like to comment on the relationship between the growth of the world economy and the role of macroeconomic policies. Let me begin with a review of the world economy. The world economy has performed much better than many feared a year ago. Current projections are that global g
3、rowth will reach 4. 5% this year, the highest rate of the last five years. Once again the major impetus has come from the United States. But the extremely rapid industrialization of China has also stimulated global growth.Why has it turned out better than expected? Two broad explanations might be ve
4、ntured. The first explanation is simply the globalization of market forces. An increasing proportion of economic activity is being governed by the market. In the space of only 15 years, some large command economies have undergone economic reform and become market economies. All this has unleashed a
5、dynamic for growth that remains very strong, especially in China, India and Russia.However, the second explanation is not so reassuring. We realize that growth over the past few years has been brought about in no small measure by very expansionary macroeconomic policies. These have included massive
6、fiscal stimulus in the United States, policy interest rates in the major countries held at or near postwar lows for some time, and an unprecedented amount of foreign exchange intervention by monetary authorities in Asia. Unlike structural reforms, the effects of such policy stimulus are only tempora
7、ry, and the current stance of policies cannot continue indefinitely.I think we need to take some effective measures to ensure the stable growth of the world economy. Evidence accumulates that macroeconomic policies will need to be tightened. Without putting what has been achieved at risk, of course.
8、 Fiscal policy, monetary policy and exchange rate policy all need to be considered in this light.Let me start with the industrial world. The US government budget, which was in surplus to the equivalent of 1 % of GDP in 2000, is likely to register a deficit of 5% of GDP this year, a deterioration of
9、the US fiscal position without precedent since the Second World War. Japans general government deficit remains at around 8% of GDP. Deficits in some large economies in the euro area are also disturbing. Therefore, early action to curb such deficits is all the more important.Although comparatively hi
10、gh unemployment is limiting nominal wage increases and spare capacity in manufacturing worldwide reinforces the competitive pressure on prices, mere are signs that inflation is edging higher. Japan is slowly emerging from deflation. The pace of consumer price inflation in China has increased sharply
11、 in recent months, and there is evidence that prices are beginning to rise faster in some other Asian economies.I think positively of recent macroeconomic policies that allow exchange rate to appreciate. The eventual movement in exchange rates could be more abrupt than if a greater degree of flexibi
12、lity had not been allowed earlier. The expansion in domestic liquidity associated with the foreign exchange intervention policy could ultimately lead to inflation. Markets could become too dependent on the continued intervention, and could then be seriously destabilized by even a hint of a change in
13、 policy. My last word of advice is this: The stance of macroeconomic policies cannot remain as expansionary if stability is to be maintained in the medium term. We should avoid the two extremes of either putting the entire burden on exchange rates or not allowing exchange rates to move at all.2 下面你将
14、听到的是一段介绍美国著名导演斯皮尔伯格的讲话。Steven Spielbergs first films were made at a time when directors were the most important people in Hollywood, and his more recent ones at a time when marketing controls the industry. He has remained the most powerful filmmaker in the world during both periods, which says somet
15、hing for his talent and his flexibility.Spielbergs most important contribution to modern movies is his acute insight to find and attract a large audience. He ingeniously revised old-style B-movie stories with A-level craftsmanship and enhanced them with the latest developments in special effects.Con
16、sidering such movies as the “Indiana Jones“ series and “Jurassic Park“. The story lines were the mediocre stuff, but the filmmaking was cutting edge and delivered what films have always desired: they showed us something amazing that we hadnt seen before.The master image created in movies expresses s
17、omething fundamental about the way the filmmakers see things. Spielberg once said that his master image was a simultaneous combination of brightness and mystery. This appears in many of his films.In Spielberg, the light source conceals mystery, whereas for many other directors it is darkness that co
18、nceals mystery. The difference is that for Spielberg, mystery offers promise instead of threat. One day he talked about a previous experience.“My dad took me out to see a meteor shower when I was a little kid,“ he said, “and it was scary for me because he woke me up in the middle of the night. My he
19、art was beating; I didnt know what he wanted to do. He wouldnt tell me, and he put me in the car and we went off, and I saw all these people lying on blankets, looking up at the sky. And my dad spread out a blanket. We lay down and looked at the sky, and I saw for the first time all these meteors. “
20、What scared me was being awakened in the middle of the night and taken somewhere without being told where. But what didnt scare me, but was very soothing, was watching this meteor shower. And I think from that moment on, I never looked at the sky and thought it was a bad place. “Spielberg has always
21、 maintained superb quality control and when his films work, they work on every level that a film can reach. When his films are shown, they will conquer the most sophisticated filmgoers in the world and invite them to tears and cheers.二、PART 2 Chinese-English Translation (50 points, 30 minutes)Interp
