Environment-friendly Olympics, Technology-empowered Olympics and

Culture-enriched Olympics

The

fact that Beijing has been awarded / Beijing‘s success in winning the right to host

the 2008 Olympic Games shows the world‘s recognition and trust of Beijing. As ―the

goal

of

Olympism

is

to

place

everywhere

sport

at

the

service

of

the

harmonious

development

of

man,

with

a

view

to

encouraging

the

establishment

of

a

peaceful

society concerned with the preservation of human dignity,‖ Beijing has proposed / put

forward, in harmony with this spirit, the concepts of Environment-friendly Olympics,

Technology-empowered Olympics and Culture-enriched Olympics.

Environment-friendly

Olympics

requires

that

environmental

protection

(should)

be

given

priority

/

taken

as

the

first

consideration

in

the

planning

and

construction

of

Olympic infrastructures and facilities. Beijing has been pressing ahead / forward / on

with environmental protection in every field by launching various projects to improve

the

city‘s

ecological

environment,

with

a

view

to

considerably

raising

the

environmental

quality

of

the

capital

so

as

to

eventually

build

/

turn

it

into

an

ecology- friendly

city.

The

2008

Olympic

Games

to

be

held

in

Beijing

will

present

itself as a refreshingly Green Olympics, which will add momentum to the worldwide

endeavor / drive for environmental protection.

Science and technology empowers the progress of human civilization. Ancient China

had

once

held

an

important

place

in

the

history

of

scientific

and

technological

development.

Today,

the

Chinese

people,

while

sharing

the

technological

accomplishments with the rest of the world, are contributing their part in all fields to

propelling the advance of science and technology in the world. The technology-geared

Olympics

will

showcase

the

latest

development

of

science

and

technology,

and

display

the

achievements

of

technical

innovation

throughout

the

country.

It

will

appear

as

a

great

multi-sport

event

sophisticated

by

high-tech

applications.

The

Beijing

Olympics

in

2008,

intended

as

a

show-window

for

displaying

high-tech

achievements

and

innovation

progress,

will

enhance

Beijin

g‘s

capacity

of

technical

innovation,

and

promote

the

industrialization

of

high-tech

fruits

and

their

wide

application in people‘s daily lives.

6

The

Games

of

the

29th

Olympiad

to

be

hosted

by

Beijing

will

be

a

gala

gathering

featuring

a

culture-oriented

massive

sport

will

extensively

incarnate

the

Olympic

spirit,

disseminate

the

brilliant

Chinese

culture,

and

enhance

the

understanding, trust and friendship among the peoples all over the world. Upholding

the ―putting people first‖ principle and adopting the ―sportsman

-

centered‖ approach,

the Beijing Olympiad will create an atmosphere filled with humane care, rendering a

full range of quality services to guests and friends from the four corners of the earth /

globe. Against the backdrop / in the context of the 2008 version of Olympic Games, a

rich program of events in a variety of forms will be staged, which will culminate in an

international cultural pageantry amidst great jubilation.

Prepare for the worst

When nations are faced with great catastrophes, it is common for the accusations to

start flying before the dust even settles or any debris has been cleared.

Commentators

are

quick

to

raise

a

cry

over

government

action

or

lack

thereof,

or

whether a disaster could have been averted or its deadly consequences mitigated. This

is especially true when many lives are lost and many more are at stake, and society is

forced to cope with something terrible for the first time.

There is always a steep learning curve when it comes to responding to calamities of

this kind, and Mother Nature does an expert job of keeping us on our toes. The ability

to

expect

the

unexpected

should

be

considered

something

of

a

virtue

for

public

officials.

The

Indian

Ocean

tsunami

that

wreaked

havoc

in

southern

Thailand

and

other

countries is a perfect example of why.

New

policies,

organizations

and

procedures

will

spring

up

amid

the

devastation.

Expensive new technologies will be deployed and bureaucrats shuffled around. The

world

of officialdom will appear to

be in

control, actively

responding to

needs

and

crises as they arise.

As a society, the people of Thailand have demonstrated that they can come together

and help one another in times of crisis. But we must now work much more resolutely

to

prepare

for

possible

disasters,

no

matter

how

high

or

low

their

probability.

We

cannot just focus on the next tsunami because it is likely that the next big catastrophe

could be something totally different and unexpected. We must prepare for the worst,

no matter what form it takes.

做好最坏的准备

当一些国家面临巨大 灾难的时候，

甚至在尘埃尚未落定、

废墟尚未被清理完毕之前，

各种指

责便纷至沓来。这已成寻常之事。

评论家们不失时机地大声疾呼，

批评政府的行动，

或者指责政府缺乏行动，

提出灾难是否可

以避免，毁灭性的后果可否减轻。倘若许多人在灾难中丧生，

更多的 人仍然危在旦夕，

整个

社会被迫第一次应对可怕的劫难时，尤为 如此。

面对这种灾难时，人们总是 能够迅速学会

/

掌握应对的方法。而大自然特别善于让我们保持

警觉，能够预见不可预见的事物，被认为是政府官员应该具备的优点。

< br>

给泰国南部和其他国家带来空前浩劫的印度洋海啸就 是说明这个道理的极好例证。

新的 政策、

组织和程序将在这场浩劫中应运而生。

昂贵的新技术将被 利用，

官员们也四处奔

走。政府部门将有能力掌控局面，当危机 和需要到来之时，积极应对。

作为 一个社会，泰国人民显示出，危难之际，他们能够并肩携手，相互帮助。但是，我们现

在 必须更坚定地工作，

准备迎接可能出现的灾难，

无论其发生的可 能性有多大。

我们不能把

注意力仅仅集中到下一次海啸上。

因为下一次浩劫很可能是全然不同的、

出乎预料的另一种

中 国经济

2005

面临新挑战

我们常比喻说，这几年中国的经济增长主要依靠三驾马车：投资、出口、消费。

< br>

先来看出口。

随着我国加入 世界贸易组织，

出口量和进口量之间的差距正在逐渐缩小，

甚至

在今年上半年曾首次出现过短暂的贸易逆差，而据有关专家估计，今年的贸易顺差也只有

100

亿元左右，到了

2005

年，随着入世承诺的逐步兑现，贸易顺差可能会更小。显然，净

出口将 不会再是经济增长的主动力。

再来 看投资。在近几年的投资中，由于一直实施的是积极的财政政策，发行了大量的国债，

政 府投资一直起着主导作用。据有关媒体报道，

2005

年实施稳 健财政政策后，发行的国债

将会比今年减少

300

亿元。直接减少的国债投资是

300

亿元，但由于国 债投资都有很强的

带动效应，由这减少的

300

亿元国债连带而减少的其他相关的银行投资、民间投资数量也

不可小视。

虽然有统计局官员称，

民间投资已有启动迹象，

但是启动了的民间投资能不能持

续下去，

民间投资是否是在地 方政府的催生下发出的，

是不是一种自发的力量，

还是一个未< /p>

知的变数。

最后看消费。刺激消费一直是个老大难问题，我国目前的消费率已经下滑到了

25

年来的最

8

< /p>

低点

55.4

％。看来，如何刺激消费已 成为我国政府所面临的重大挑战之一。

Chinese Economy to Meet New Challenges in 2005

We

often

figuratively

say

that

China‘s

economic

growth

in

the

past

few

years

has

been

driven

by

a

―troika‖,

the

―three

horses‖

being

investment,

export

and

consumption. (Investment, export and consumption are figuratively described as the

three horses of a troika hauling China‘s economic growth in recent years.)

Let‘s take a look at export first. The imbalance in volume between China‘s import and

export has been gradually diminishing ever since China‘s accessio

n to the WTO. In

the first half of this year, China even ran a transient trade deficit, which is the first of

its

kind

in

history.

It

is

estimated

by

experts

that

China‘s

trade

surplus

this

year

is

expected

to

be

only

about

10

billion

yuan.

With

its

WTO

accession

commitments

being fulfilled one after another, China‘s current trade surplus with other countries is

likely

to

be

further

reduced

by

2005.

Obviously,

the

―net

export‖

approach

will

no

longer be one of the major driving forces for China‘s economic g

rowth.

Let‘s now turn to investment. As a prominent player in China‘s investment activities,

the central

government

has issued a large amount of treasury bonds in the past few

years

in

line

with

the

proactive

fiscal

policy

it

has

adopted.

It

is

reported

that

the

amount

of

treasury

bonds

to

be

issued

by

the

government

in

2005

will

drop

by

30

billion

yuan

since

China

is

about

to

carry

out

a

sound

fiscal

policy

by

2005.

As

investment

in

treasury

bonds

can

produce

strong

rippling

effects,

a

reduction

of

30

billion

yuan

in

bond

investment

from

the

government

will

considerably

discourage

investment from banks and private sources, which is really something we can‘t afford

to

overlook. Officials from

China National

Bureau of Statistics claim

that

there are

already

signs

of

private

investment

initiatives

being

launched.

It

will,

however,

remain to be seen just how far those initiatives can go and whether those initiatives

are the results of self-motivation or the results of a local government-induced squeeze.

Let‘s

finally take up consumption. The hardest nut for China to crack for a long time

is

how

to

stimulate

consumption.

China‘s

current

consumption

rate

has

slipped

to

55.4%,

the

lowest

point

in

25

years.

It

seems

that

how

to

effectively

promote

consumption has become one of the daunting challenges the central government has

to meet.

送小孩到国外去学习须谨慎从事

现在 越来越盛行送十几岁的小孩子到国外留学，

人数在急剧增加。

他 们的家长对国外的教育

抱有不切实际的幻想。

外国院校举办的教 育展览把国外的学校说得天花乱坠，

使他们听了介

可是，

把小孩子送到国外学习并不一定会带来好的结果。

许多学生缺乏适应性和灵活性，

他

们很难溶入国外新的 环境。由于在文化上难以适应，即缺乏在国外陌生环境下生存的能力，

他们往往会受到所 谓

―

文化震荡

‖

的冲击。缺乏必要的观察能力，使他们难以理解东道主国家

人民的行为表现，

他们也就无法与当地人打成一片。

缺乏适应性以及交流和交往能力必然会

使自己感到孤立。

感到孤独和在生活上不能自理

（由于他们的家长对他们过于溺爱和娇惯）

他们会经常想家和

情绪低落。

更重要的是，< /p>

由于他们在学习上没有打好坚实的基础，

不能适应外语环境下的学

习。由于他们缺乏独立学习的能力，所以就不可能取得所期望的进步。

< br>

于是，

许多人便不得不半途 而废，放弃来之不易的学习机会。

因此，过早地送小孩子到国外

学习不一定是件好事情。

如果想要 让孩子到国外去见见世面，

Mind the Pitfalls of Sending Young Children Abroad to Study

There is

a growing trend of sending teenage students abroad to study

–

the number

has

been

increasing

dramatically.

Their

parents

are

fantasized

by

myths

about

education

offered

in

foreign

countries.

They

are

attracted

by

the

educational

exhibitions

presented

by

foreign

universities

and

colleges,

which

paint

many

rosy

pictures and tell many glow tales prompting them into actions.

However, sending young children to study abroad may not predict result in success.

Many

young

students

lack

adaptability

and

flexibility.

They

find

it

hard

to

adapt

themselves

to

new

circumstances

and

situations.

Because

of

the

lack

of

cultural

toughness

–

the ability to succeed in

an alien

culture, they are

easily subject

to

the

suffering of what is called ―culture shock‖. Without adequate perceptual ability –

the

ability

to

understand

why

the

host-country

people

behave

as

they

do,

they

find

it

difficult to empathize with them. And due to the lack of self-orientation, the ability to

communicate

and

interact

effectively

with

host-country

nationals,

they

tend

to

find

themselves isolated.

Feeling lonely and being unable to manage their daily lives well

–

as they are often

spoilt at home by their parents

–

they often become homesick and feel sad. And more

importantly,

because

these

young

students

don‘t

have

a

sound

academic

foundation

and the ability to pursue study in a foreign language, they don‘t know how to work

independently and often fail to make the progress they desire.

So

a

lot

of

them

have

to

give

up

their

hard- earned

chance

of

studying

abroad

and

10

return

home.

Therefore

it

may

not

be

a

good

idea

at

all

to

send

children

to

study

abroad at too early an age.

If

young

students

want

to

broaden

their

vision

of

the

world,

it

is

advisable

to

send

them abroad in groups for short home- stay study programs. They can live with a host

family, attend a summer school, and join in excursions in and around the host city.

But

these

groups

must

be

accompanied

by

a

designated

teacher

who

can

provide

orientation, guidance and assistance all the way.

My Visit to Quebec

I recently returned from five days in Quebec City, a quaint and picturesque town on

the St Lawrence river, which will heretofore be known as the―tear gas capital of the

world‖.

I

traveled

there

hoping

to

get

inside

the

head

of

the

an

ti-globalisation,

anti-trade movement. Trouble is, there was no head to be found. I saw heart in great

abundance

–

in- your-face public displays of compassion were the order of the day

–

but clear thinking was conspicuously scarce.

The

respectable

reason

to

be

in

Quebec

was

for

the

Summit

of

the

Americas,

a

gathering of thirty-four heads-of-state from across the western hemisphere. The most

important business at their meeting was the ongoing effort to negotiate a Free Trade

Area of the Americas

–

a trade barrier-free zone stretching from Alaska to Argentina.

But

I

traveled

to

Quebec

for

the

real

show;

the

―People‘s

Summit‖,

an

alternative

event

organized

ostensibly

to

represent

–

what

else?

–

the

?people‘s

views.‘

(I

had

assumed that the elected leaders at the Summit were there for that purpose, but who

am

I

to

question

?the

people‘?).

The

Hemispheric

Social

Alliance,

a

coalition

of

ideological and economic interest

groups that are opposed to free trade, had invited

fringe groups, from the far-left to the farther-

left, to a ?carnival against capitalism‘ in

a big white tent alongside the river. Gracious to a fault, the Canadian government (i.e.

Canadian taxpayers) funded the event and paid for Latin American activists to attend.
