As someone has long been engaged in promoting Americas trade ties to China, I am so glad to attend todays seminar on Chinese investment in the states and I very much appreciate your interest in making an investment in my country.

2、 wish to convey to you is loud and clear. United State welcomes Chinas investments a point made abundantly clear by President Obama when he met Chinese president Xi Jinping in California. Why? The reason is simple. We need Chinese investment to create good-paying American jobs, upgrade our infrastru

3、cture and broaden our middle-class. And there are also a whole lot of reasons why Chinese companies ought to come here. The United States has the worlds largest market. America is open for business. people are looking at lower energy costs here. They are looking at stability , they are looking at th

4、e increased productivity of our workers. This is a great platform from which you can export duty-free around the world because of the free-trade agreements we have with many countries. The U.S market is well-developed with the sound legal system and there are lot of sectors worth your investments. T

5、he weak recovery in U.S economy means opportunities for Chinese companies to acquire technology, brands and sales networks, which can be connected with the huge Chinese market and bring great benefits to Chinese investors China and the US agreed in July last year to start substantive negotiations on

6、 bilateral investment treaty, which will reduce investment barriers and facilitate market access in the two economies. So it is now the best time for Chinese companies to put money in the United States. Entering foreign market is a great challenge for any country. There will be differences in cultur

7、e, languages, regulations, consumer habits, infrastructure and human capital. so whats important is that you should learn more about the American culture, mesh rush instead of fighting it. We will help you navigate national state and local rules and regulations so that you can invest faster, open fa

8、cilities faster and make profit faster. But in the United States some industries are highly regulated and foreign companies should appreciate this to avoid delays. To succeed in the United States, a Chinese company should hire experienced local staff will understand how business is conducted across

9、cultures and identify key stakeholders. You should also state legal accounting and insurance services provided by American law firms, investment banks,public relations firms and insurance companies to reduce risks. Chinese companies operating in the US how they can contribute to the local community

10、and bolster American growth and employment. In addition they should undertake crisis plan to prevent a minor issue from developing into a big one that could affect t their image. Building brands is critically important. Chinese brands are not very well known in the United States. Chinese companies w

11、ill therefore do more to build awareness and promote their products to American consumers. it takes time and money for an investment project to be successful. You need to make long-term and major investing or just dont bother. More importantly, start Greenfield project, namely, building new factorie

12、s from ground provides smoother move into the US market than does a merger or acquisition. As more Chinese companies make investment in the United States, they will add a new dimension to the close business relations between the worlds two largest economies. It is my hope that Chinese companies will

13、 be firmly implanted in United States and become an integral and valuable part of our countrys economic and social fabric.(分数:50.00)_2. For years,policy makers and economists have all used GDP to measure the growth of country. But this excessive focus on GDP can distort development incentives and le

14、ad to unintended consequences. Clearly, for a country to prosper, sufficient economic activity must be generated in order to employ greater numbers of people and to improve the overall standard of living. However, GDP was developed as a measure decades ago, and it has many shortcomings that can make

15、 it a poor measure of quality of life. Instead, economists and policy makers should focus on other indicators and develop new models for measuring a countrys development progress. And this is fully possible with todays technology. GDP records all the financial transactions for products and services

16、within a country. The first problem with this measure is that with many companies operating in multiple countries, the profits that is created do not necessarily stay within a countrys borders. In fact, a majority of the profits of multinational firms flows back to the country of origin. For instanc

17、e, Nike may hire Chinese workers to produce its shoes, have stores in China to sell its products, and only Chinese customers buy from those stores. 90 percent of the economic activity happens in China and gets recorded in Chinas GDP. However, the majority of the profits of Nike goes back to the owne

18、rs in the United States even if none of the economic activity happens in the United States. The national wealth measure is therefore, distorted because it would seem that China is getting richer and the United States is getting poorer. Obviously, this is not the case. Secondly, GDP does not show dis

19、tribution of income. A company that creates a lot of income from production does not show how that income is being distributed. The majority of profits actually go to very few individuals and that the income inequality is wide in China. Another problem with GDP as a measure for economic progress is

20、that it only captures financial transactions. When a mother takes his kid to watch a movie, that activity is captured in GDP. But when she takes the same kid to play soccer in a park, that activity is not captured in GDP. However, going to the park to play socce rcould create a better quality of lif

21、e than going to the movies. if the focus becomes overwhelmingly on GDP growth, policy makers would have more incentives to create more movie theaters than public parks. As the result, the quality of life could drop. The worst part about focusing on GDP is that it can actually create the conditions f

22、or a worse quality of life. The pollution that causes cancers, food poisoning, or birth defects actually adds to GDP growth because whenever people seek medical help and incur medical bills to pay for all these ailments, GDP grows. On the other hand, GDP doesnt grow if people remain healthy and dont

23、 seek medical help. Obviously, it is much better to have a healthier, cleaner society, but that will not create higher GDP growth. In summary, GDP can be used as a guide, but it should be considered alongside other factors and indicators that are important to developing a sustainable society. Other

24、measurements that should be adopted include the happiness index which measures satisfaction with life, air quality index, pollution index, and life expectancy. GDP has been relied upon because it is fast and easy to gather that gross data and make simple comparisons across countries. But because of

25、its many shortcomings, policy makers would achieve their development goals faster if they also used other ways to measure their progress.(分数:50.00)_CATTI 二级口译英译汉真题 2014 年 5 月答案解析(总分:100.00,做题时间:120 分钟)1.

38、鼓励中国企业在美国投资的讲话。这个段落显得非常口语化,信息安排比较简单,唯一的难点就是速度显得有一些快,这对于考生的笔记是个挑战。 第一段 :对于二级学员来说,一般应该已经熟练掌握笔记的结构与符号,应该是学会简化笔记,利用较少的信息复述较多内容的时候了,这个段落的第一句看似字很多,但实际落在纸面的似乎没有什么内容,”trade tie”,“seminar”,“appreciate”,这三个概念就足以支撑起对这句话内容的提示。后面一句中的三个列举对于考生是第一个考验,列举中稍有难度的是 broaden our middle class,“增加中产阶级人数。” 第二段:这个段落考验的是考生对于美中

39、经济关系的熟悉程度,自由贸易区,自由贸易协定,投资壁垒,市场准入这些词汇对于有准备的考生都不算难,难的是如何在很短时间内高效快速地反应出来,还是那句话,二级是一个口译的熟练度测试,对于这些概念必须做到瞬间反应才能通过。 第三段:这个段落难度不大,只要注意了句子内部的关联就可以轻松处理。此外,对于 mesh 和 navigate 这类有着比较典型美式英语特征词汇的掌握是对考生的考验。 第四段:对划线词的熟悉程度再次成为考试的焦点,stakeholder “利益攸关方“一词在本次考试中出现了两次,成为一个焦点词汇,这里面的信息非常明确,阅读大量有关中美商业贸易的报道,熟悉其中词汇是通过二级考试的不

40、二法门。 第五段 :本段一个词汇是“Greenfield project.”看似考词,其实考的是考生是否形成了准确捕捉英语母语说话人进行表达的习惯,”namely”一词的出现其实就是告知考生对于 greenfield 一词要进行解释,考生此时就不应该再纠结于这个新词的意思,应该转向对意义的判断。 此外,merge 和 acquisition, 并购这类词应该对考生不再陌生。2.
