Key to Exercise 1.4

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Good evening.

I’m

honored

to

be

invited

to

your

seminar

tonight

.

For

me,

for

my

colleagues

and

for

many

other

Chinese,

Princeton

has

long

been

a

familiar

name.

With

a

history

longer

than

the

country,

it

has

produced

many

outstanding

people,

Woodrow

Wilson,

the

28th

US

president,

Albert

Einstein, the great scientist, and T.S. Eliot, the famous poet, to name

but

a

few.

As

former

president

Bill

Clinton

said

in

1996

at

the

celebration

for the 250th anniversary of Princeton: “At every pivotal moment in

American history, Princeton, its leadership, its students have played a

crucial role.”

I

am

more

pleased

to learn

that

all

of

you

have

a

keen

interest

in

China.

Though

our

two

countries

are

geologically

far

apart,

we

have

a

great

deal

in

common.

While

many

Chinese

enjoy

Hollywood

movies

and

McDonald’s

food,

many

Americans

find

that

their

clothes

and

daily

necessities

are

made

in

China.

I

hope

that

today’s

seminar

will

help

you

gain

a

better

understanding

of

China

and

its

foreign

policy,

thus

deepening

further

our

friendship and cooperation.

采访李连杰（中译英部分）

?

It’s a very special part in a very special movie. I think it’s one

of the most important action films in my life.

?

Usually

action

films

have

a

formula

/follow

such

a

model:

A

child

whose

parents

have

been

murdered

by

the

bad

guys

tries

hard

to

learn

martial

marts and he grows up into an outstanding kongfu master. He takes

revenge

and

kills

the

bad

guys.

But

“

Hero

”

has

a

much

broader

th

eme.

?

No. it’s totally different. I think Ang Lee is a very talented

director. He uses martial arts to talk about love and girls, you

know?But Zhang Yimou tries to tell about Chinese culture, Chinese

thinking and their hopes through martial arts.

?

I think the most important thing is that when I was young, I learn

martial arts, that is, my special key. I can use many unique martial

arts skills in the film. But after a few years, I really want to do

something

different?like

using

martial

arts

to

talk

about

peac

e

and

achieve peace.

?

That’s right. Because Chinese culture is not just martial arts.

That’s only the physical part. It’s not true that Chinese people

are

all

kongfu

masters

and

can

just

beat

up

people;

and

that

they

have

no brains, no thoughts. As a matter of fact, we have a deep, strong

and sophisticated philosophy. I feel I have the responsibility to

share this information with the worldwide audience.

史蒂夫

福布斯谈《福布斯》

我祖父二十世纪 初来到美国。

他离开苏格兰时身上没什么钱。

连他在内有兄弟姐

妹

10

个，不过他自小就受到很好的教 育。像许多人一样，他也是满怀憧憬和理

想来到美国的。他创办了《福布斯》杂志，报道 那些实干家，哪些改变商业社会

的人。

我祖父常说，

做生意的目的不是为堆积百万财富，

而是为带来 幸福快乐。

如今我

们讲到公司、经营，文章中会用到许多数字， 但焦点一直放在人上面。对公司来

说最重要的是人，

而不是资产 负债表。

以前我祖父是这样看，

我们现在也是这样

看的。

当前的世界信息泛滥，足以将人淹没，人们 迫切需要一本刊物来解读这些信息，

告诉读者哪些重要哪些不重要。这就是《福布斯》的 价值所在。我们提供额外的

视角和判断。

我们从不停留于表面，

总想看看公司到底是如何经营的，

正是当今

芜杂繁多的信息使得《福布斯》日益重要。
