第2单元 同声传译记忆 Reference Key to Exercises Text 1 Distinguished Leaders, Guests, Ladies and Gentlemen and Friends from the Media, Good morning! Today I would like to speak in Chinese. Please pardon me if I make any pronunciation mistake. First, I would like to thank Baiyun Airport and Tourism Administration of Guangdong Province for giving us this opportunity to introduce Finnair. Finnair may not be a familiar brand to you. In the 1980s, we only had domestic flights, and very few international flights to some part of Northern Europe. At that time, we were a very small company. But by next summer, Finnair will have nearly 60 flights between Europe and Asia, which means we are developing very fast. Why has Finnair chosen “Fly the Straightest Way from Asia to Europe” as our slogan? It is because if you look at the globe, you will find that Finland is the closest European country to China. There is only Russia between us. It is because of this geographical reason that Finnair has chosen to offer this service. As an air company between Europe and Asia, we take Asian passengers to Europe, and European passengers to Asia. We are actually transferring this geographical advantage into our brand. Right now, we have flights to Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong and Guangzhou. Although there are only four flights per week to Guangzhou, we hope that the flights will increase to seven as the other three cities. Then what is Finnairs service? That is to take you to Helsinki Airport, which is our hub airport first, and then transfer you to any of the 42 destinations in Europe in no time. Therefore, you take off from Guangzhou to Helsinki, and then transfer to other European cities from Helsinki. Of course, as a Finnish air company, we also have 21 domestic destinations at your choice. I will skip this part, as it is approaching lunch time. Finnair also has other advantages. For example, we have numerous choices of flight schedule to Europe and short transferring time. The shortest transferring time in Helsinki is 35 minutes. For your information, the 35 minutes include all the customs procedures, which means it is very fast. How can we achieve this? It is because the Helsinki Airport is very small; hence it brings great convenience to passengers to transfer quickly. Actually through this picture, I would like to show that flights from Guangzhou will bring you to any city, even the southernmost cities in Europe within 15 hours. Finnair has developed rapidly in recent years. All of our business class can be compared to facilities in five-star hotels. The facilities and service of the business class is the pride of every air company, and Finnair is of no exception. We established route to Guangzhou two years ago. But this year marks the twentieth anniversary of Finnair airlines to Beijing. During the past two decades, we tried to excel in Chinas market. But how? In my opinion, that is to let Chinese customers feel comfortable when they transfer in Helsinki without any difficulty. In order to achieve this, we provide ground crew who speak Chinese, including Chinese-speaking stewardesses. And of course, instruction signs in Chinese and Chinese-speaking ground service staff. With these, our customers will transfer smoothly with comfort. Finnair is a member of Oneworld, a large alliance. Maybe the leaders present today know that Cathay Pacific Airways is also a member of Oneworld. I will go through the rest slides quickly. Next will be some pictures. We have ordered many new airbuses last year, over 30 airbuses. We are now waiting for these new products, which will arrive soon. A340 is an excellent type; I believe anyone who has experienced it must know it. We have chosen some small-sized airplanes for inland flights. Why? Because we want to cover a lot of destinations, which means we would like to go anywhere you want to go. When the passenger flow volume is comparatively limited, it is more environmentally friendly for us to use smaller planes. Plus it is suitable for the actual passenger flow volume. That is so much for my speech. Finally, I would like to say that I am much honored to have this opportunity to share with you my opinions. And I am very glad to have the chance to introduce Finnair to you. As a salesperson, it is really rare for us to cut a long story short like this, especially for me. Last, Id like to wish you good health and good luck! Thank you very much!

And as the representative of investors of travel service in Guangdong, I feel honored to brief you on our investment and operation of the Ocean Spring Resort in Zhuhai, Guangdong, and share with you our experience in this regard. As we know, with our economy developing rapidly and our living standard rising greatly, tourism has become a fashion among people and an integral part of peoples daily life. According to the estimates by World Tourism Organization, Chinas tourism, in the next 10 years, will increase by 8% every year and tourism revenues by 15% per year. China Travel Service Hong Kong Limited (CTS) is the only enterprise focusing on travel service under the direct management of State Asset Supervision and Administration Commission like 52 other key mega enterprises. CTS takes optimizing, strengthening and enlarging its main travel business as the internal demand of its development, emphasizes the integration and development of its main travel business and strengthens the comprehensive complementary service for tourism. By following the path of being a supplier of tourist products, CTS has constantly enhanced the key competitiveness of its main business and achieved sound economic and social benefits. As early as in the year 1985, CTS made investment in the development and construction of Shenzhen OCT, and built the best and first-class cultural theme park groups in China. The first one was opened to the public is Splendid China, followed by China Folk Culture Villages and the Window of the World. All of them have achieved great success and started the craze for theme parks in China. In 1992, CTS subsidiary Hong Kong China Travel Service International Investment Limited was successfully listed in Hong Kong. Now our assets have increased by 12 times. Since the beginning of the new century, travel products and the trend of tourism have undergone great changes. Domestic tourism in the 1980s was featured by pure sightseeing. However, in the 1990s, tourism entered a new stage marked by participation and interaction. In the 21st century, Chinas tourism, with the development of national economy and the improvement of peoples living standard, has now moved toward leisure and holiday travel. Several months ago, Mr. Shao, Director of the National Tourism Administration paid a visit to Ocean Spring Resort and gave our work full recognition. Meanwhile, he expressed his expectations of us to make Ocean Spring Resort the first demonstrative resort in China focusing on travel, leisure and holiday, which inspired us greatly. Now tourism has moved toward the trend of leisure and holiday, with drive travel, free walker and participatory tourist items enriched and developed continuously. Moreover, instead of relying on entity travel agencies and their face-to-face services, tourism now has gradually moved toward on-line service, which has raised new and higher requirement on the travel service industry. What encourages us is that the Guangdong Provincial CPC Committee and the provincial government attach great importance to the development of tourism and put forward policies and measures aimed at further accelerating and supporting the development of tourism. These policies and measures will actively promote the development of an innovative Guangdong and the internationalization of tourism economy, and have provided a great opportunity for CTS to make investment in the new tourist items in Guangdong. From 2001 to 2002, we carried out investigation of Zhuhai and decided to build a large spring resort in Pingsha. In April 2002, we started the construction of the project. And in January this year, that is, on January 22, Ocean Spring Resort was officially opened. Although we had merely ten months of soft-open, the number of visitors to the resort this year can be expected to exceed 3 million and the operating revenue will reach 360 million yuan, with an estimated growth rate of 30% next year. The first phase of Ocean Spring Resort, I mean the current site of OSR, covers a land area of 5.1 square kilometers. In the first phase, only about 1 square km of land was developed. There are all together 8 main items including spring center, hotel, park, fishers wharf, theater, medical center and training camps, etc. OSR is now the most comprehensive and distinctive resort in China aimed at demonstrating world spring culture and creating theme culture. The comprehensive and systematic tourism resources will be the selling point of our resort, which will draw tourists of different ages and levels and stimulate their interests in all respects. Looking back on the construction and development of OSR over the past five years, we have realized that with the strategic decision made by the CPC central committee and Guangdong Provincial CPC committee and government, with the strong support and full cooperation of Zhuhai government and relative departments and with such a sound investment environment, the construction and development of OSR will surely reach a higher level. As investors, we give top priority to three Rs: Return, Risk and Responsibility. We as investors of course care most about our return, and we will also take the involved risks into account. Most importantly, we should be responsible for our society, our shareholders, our citizens and our government, and shoulder corporate social responsibility in this regard. These three aspects will all be taken into full consideration in decision making. The Guangdong provincial and Zhuhai municipal government have provided us with strong support. Moreover, Zhuhai boasts excellent scarce resources and beautiful environment. As a result, we have more and more confidence in our investment here. And the soft-open over the past ten months has also proved this and we have also made profitable return. As we know, one yuan of tourism revenue can stimulate related economies to generate seven yuan of revenue. Based on such a ratio of 1:7, we will fuel the local economy and bring about a total of several billion yuan in return. Therefore, looking forward to the future, we have every confidence about the investment and business environment in Guangdong and Zhuhai. We will speed up the second and third phase of the construction of OSR. It is estimated that in 2010 our total investment volume will reach five billion yuan. We will further our construction to build a comprehensive sports park, golf course, spring museum, spring villas and golf villas. Thus, we will further enhance the comprehensive and systematic facilities of OSR and improve its comprehensive competitiveness. We have the resolution and confidence, especially with the care and support of Guangdong and Zhuhai governments as well as different departments as always, to build OSR into the domestic first-class and world advanced leisure resort, so as to jointly bring Guangdongs tourism to a higher level and make due contribution to Guangdongs economic development. Please come to Zhuhai Ocean Spring Resort for your holiday! Thank you all!
