TONETONE NEWSWEEK: Japans economy is even worse off now than when you arrived in 1999. Did you expect it to get this bad? TONETONE GHOSN
3、: Little by little, Ive come to think that whats remarkable about Japan is that there is so much potential. I can see it inside and outside Nissan, but so little is delivered. Japan is always extremely strong when theres a mission. The glorious years have always been driven by a strong, clear vision
4、. It would be fair to say that this vision doesnt exist todayor if it exists, it is blurred. Or fake. People talk about problems, with bad loans and things. What is missing is a clear vision that would mobilize all the qualities Japanese people can show in periods of challenge. TONETONE Why are peop
5、le saying Japan has a problem? What goals would be realistic? TONETONE First, Japan did not grow as much as people were expecting.

6、u an example in the automobile market. At its peak, 6 million cars were sold in Japan per year. Today were barely at 4 million. One objective may be to say: “How can we return to the peak years?“ Coming back to the best performance Japan has reached would represent a big jump forward. TONETONE Why d
7、ont more companies put their own houses in order? Nissan is certainly a model. TONETONE There is a lot of coverage of Nissan. From the beginning we anticipated this. I had a sense that we needed to be extremely transparent because we would be introducing a lot of change, and for change to work peopl
8、e need to know why and how were making these changes. Because Japans strengths are (found) particularly at the base. The work force is second to none, and once they are convinced that this is the direction to take, people are willing to go the extra mile for these things to happen. TONETONEMany Japa
9、nese fear radical reform. Is there a middle way? TONETONE I personally dont believe in middle ways. Im not telling you this to be provocative; at Nissan we would never have taken the middle road. When I met Nissans unions in July of 1999. They came to my office and at the end of these informal talks
10、, I asked if there was anything they wanted to tell me as we worked to come up with a plan. They said: “Yes, we have something. Whatever you have to do, do it fast.“ They just wanted to get out of the tunnel. TONETONE Is Japan overreacting to the threat from China? TONETONE Japan is establishing a v
11、ery solid relationship with China. When you see the transfers of technologies, the investments and collaborations, Japan is finding very smart ways to associate itself with the government. ObvioUsly, there are many countries that would love to take Japans place. But they will do it if, and only if,
12、Japan allows them to do it. I dont think there is a major outside threat to Japan. The major threat is internal. Were not recognizing the potential of the country and not acting on this potential.

14、Interpret the following passages from Chinese into English. Start interpreting at the signal and stop it at the signal. You may take notes while you are listening. You will hear the passages only ONCE. Now lets begin.2 加强区域能源合作 共创亚太美好未来 资源节约与综合利用司副司长 刘显法 2002 年 7 月 25 日各位来宾、女士们、先生们： 上午好!今天，我们在这里联合召开
15、“亚太地区可持续能源发展 ”国际研讨会，来自亚太地区 10 个国家和有关国际组织的政府官员、企业家和专家学者聚集在此，总结交流经验，分析新世纪可持续能源发展面临的形势，共同研讨亚太地区可持续能源政策、发展战略以及政策措施。TONE TONE 能源是国民经济发展的基础，也是经济社会可持续发展的重要制约的因素。改革开放 20 多年来，我国政府制定并贯彻实施了“能源开发与节约并重、提高能源利用效率”的方针，能源开发取得了巨大成就，能源生产总量由 1980 年的 6.37 亿吨增长到 2000 年的 10.70 亿吨，其中水能、太阳能、风能、生物质能等可再生能能源开发总量达到 8600 万吨，占全国商
16、品能源总消费量的 6.6%；同时能源效率不断提高，以一次能源消费年均 4.7%的增长支持了国民经济年均 9.5%的增长速度，实现了经济发展所需能源一半靠开发，一半靠节约的目标。TONE TONE 展望新世纪，人口、资源、环境成为世界各国经济和社会发展中面临的三大问题，而其核心是 资源问题，特别是能源资源的可持续发展问题。亚太地区有将近世界一半的人口，能源消费总量占 世界消费总量的 20%以上，随着经济的快速发展，这个比例还会进一步增加。亚太地区能源生产消 费方式及其变化，必将对世界能源发展带来深刻的影响。提高能源利用效率、加大可再生能源开发 力度和采用新能源技术是解决能源和环境问题的最现实、最经济的途径，也是亚太地区可持续发展 战略的重要组成部分。TONE TONE 二十一世纪前十年将是中国经济结构战略性调整的关键时期，为此，我们将采取完善法规、加 快企业技术改造、加强技术开发和推广应用、加强宣传教育培训等措施，以及财政、金融激励政策， 同时进一步加强国际交流与合作，学习借鉴国外先进经验和技术，为推进我国能源可持续发展，减 少污染物排放、保护环境做出更大贡献。 最后，预祝本次研讨会取得圆满成功! 谢谢大家!TONE TONE
