文档简介
A. Western teachers working at Chinese preschools express shock at the levels of strictness imposed, and the ways in which the most difficult children are chastised. While this high degree of discipline has the negative effect of making children reluctant to initiate play, it does succeed in teaching self-control and respect for authority precisely those qualities that are seen to be lacking in U.S. schools. Friends and family in North America often tell me that between piano, art and sports lessons, their kids are already overscheduled and subject to pressures beyond their years. Yet, regardless of the number of extracurricular activities, the lives of Western children are leisurely when compared to Chinese. 对于校纪实施的严格程度和对最难管教学生的处罚方式,在中国幼儿园工作的西方教师表示震惊。 如此高度的纪律性虽然会产生令孩子们不愿玩耍的消极影响,但也教会他们自控和尊重权威,而这些品质恰恰是美国学生所缺少的。 我在北美的家人和朋友常常告诉我,他们的孩子要上钢琴课、美术课和体育课,日程已经排得满满的,承受着超过年龄的沉重压力。 不过,虽然课外活动很多,和中国小孩相比,西方小孩过的是优哉游哉的生活。 B. The differences between methods of learning in the East and the West are thus based on profound cultural differences that will be glacially slow to shift. Yet, while only limited change can be expected from domestic education reforms, a global educational environment is emerging which offers an ever-widening variety of choice. In China, more and more parents are sending their toddlers to private American-style preschools that despite their exorbitant fees are doing a booming business in the most prosperous cities, such as Shanghai. 因此,东西方学习方法有别,根源还在于巨大的文化差异,改变将是极其缓慢的。 尽管可以预见,国内的教育改革只会带来有限的变化,然而一个全球化的教育环境正在形成,提供了越来越多的选择。 在中国,越来越多的家长把刚会走路的小孩送到美式私立幼儿园,这类幼儿园尽管费用高昂,但在上海等中国最发达的城市却发展迅猛。 以前流行一句话:“学好数理化,走遍天下都不怕。”如今无论是已在工作岗位上磨炼多年的中年人,还是初出茅庐的大学毕业生,都有一个共识,那就是:在信息爆炸的时代,知识以飞快的速度更新,“一纸文凭定终身”的日子一去不复返了,我们要不断地“充电”。这样一来,终身教育便成为历史必然。 It was once frequently told that “you have the guts to make a living anywhere with a mastery of math, physics and chemistry”. However, people nowadays, whether the middle-aged working stagers or those greenhorn college grads, have reached a consensusgone are the days when “a diploma determines your life-time fate”. With the awesome update of knowledge in the era of information explosion, we need to reskill ourselves continuously. Thus, lifelong education has become a historical inevitability. A. It will be helpful to your search if you understand the structure of the U.S. educational system, which may be very different from that of your home country. Admission to undergraduate and graduate programs in particular will require you to have completed a particular level of education at the time of admission. It is important that you realize that not all U.S. programs are the same. Some programs are extremely demanding and the workload can even be difficult for American students. Other programs are more relaxed and focus on connecting students in cross-cultural learning. Before making a decision, it is important that you know how challenging your program will be.因为美国和你本国的教育体系也许迥然不同,所以了解美国的教育体系对你的搜寻会有所帮助。入学之际,你必须已经完成一定程度的教育,这对于进入大学本科和研究生课程的学习尤其如此。重要的是要认识到,美国并非所有课程的要求都一模一样。有些课程要求极高,学习量大,连美国学生可能也会觉得很吃力。另一些课程则比较轻松,看重跨文化学习中学生们的交流。做决定之前,明白自己的课程难度是很重要的。 B. Despite this, do not let the cost of an education in the U.S.A. scare you off! If you are feeling overwhelmed by the cost, consider what an education in the U.S.A. will mean to your future. Education is one of the best investments you can make an investment in yourself! A U.S. education and proficiency in English paves the way to more secure and higher paying jobs. In the end, your U.S. education will pay for itself many times over. 尽管如此,别让美国的教育费用把你吓跑了!假如你感到无法承担这笔费用,想想美国的教育对你的未来意味着什么。教育是你能做的一种最好的投资一种对你自己的投资!美国的教育加上娴熟的英语,为获取更稳定高薪的工作铺平了道路。你所受的美国教育最终会有多倍的回报。 我的博士生导师李永华博士向我推荐了贵系。望贵系能考虑接纳我,使我有幸成为一名访问学者。我对消费心理学兴趣浓厚,在此领域已有多年研究。我已获得中国国家留学基金的资助,包括学习生活费用和往返机票,时间为一年。随函附上我的简历和推荐信。如需更多信息,请及时与我本人联系。静候佳音。 Your department has been recommended to me by Dr. Li Yonghua, my doctorate supervisor. I would like to be considered for acceptance as a visiting scholar in the Department of Psychology. I am intensely interested in Consumer Psychology and have been engaged in its research for many years. The China Scholarship Council has approved my request for financial support during my one-year visit covering the tuition, round-trip ticket fare and living expenses. My resume and letters of recommendation are enclosed herewith. Please do not hesitate to contact me for any additional information. I look forward to hearing from you in the near future. A. For a quarter of a century finance basked in a golden age. Financial globalisation spread capital more widely, markets evolved, businesses were able to finance new ventures and ordinary people had unprecedented access to borrowing and foreign exchange. Modern finance improved countless lives. But more recently something went awry. Through insurance and saving, financial services are supposed to offer shelter from lifes reverses. Instead, financiers grew rich even as their industry put everyones prosperity in danger. Financial services are supposed to bring together borrowers and savers. But as lending markets have retreated, borrowers have been stranded without credit and savers have seen their pensions and investments melt away. Financial markets are supposed to be a machine for amassing capital and determining who gets to use it and for what. How could they have been so wrong?过去的25年是金融业发展的黄金时代。金融全球化使资本流通更为广泛,市场更为繁荣,企业有能力进行新的风险投资,老百姓进行借贷以及外币兑换的机会也是前所未有的。现代金融的发展改善了无数人的生活。 然而最近似乎有点不对劲了。通过保险和储蓄,金融服务应该可以为人们遮风挡雨,提供不时之需。但恰恰相反,金融业使人们的财富变得岌岌可危,金融家却腰缠万贯。金融服务应该是双向的:既有人借款也有人存钱。可由于信贷市场的萎缩,借款人由于缺乏信用而无法借到钱,与此同时,储蓄者也只能眼睁睁地看着他们的养老金和投资付诸东流,化为乌有。金融市场应该是这样一台机器:它首先能够积累资金,然后决定谁可以使用及如何使用这些资金。而现在怎么错得如此离谱呢?B. Reform is certainly needed, yet, for all the excesses and instability of finance, a complete clampdown would be a mistake. For one thing, remember the remarkable prosperity of the past 25 years. Finance deserves some of the credit for that. Note, too, that finance has always been plagued by crises, whether the system is open or closed, simple or sophisticated. Attempts to regulate finance to make it safe often lead to dangerous distortions as clever financiers work around the rules. If there were a simple way to prevent crises altogether, it would already be the foundation stone of financial regulation. In fact, the aim should be neither to banish finance nor to punish it, but to create a system that supports economic growth through the best mix of state-imposed stability and private initiative. 改革势在必行,但是,尽管金融业存在诸多过分行为及不稳定性,明令禁止、严厉打击也是不明智的。一方面,我们无法忘记过去二十五年经济的辉煌繁荣,其中金融业的功绩可圈可点,值得赞颂。同时,也请注意,不管体制是开放的还是封闭的,简单的还是复杂的,金融业发生危机总是不可避免。试图通过制订法规来规范金融行业的行为,以确保其更加稳定,也于事无补,因为精明的金融家总会利用规则大打擦边球,最终使法律规范形同虚设。如果真有一个简便易行的方法来阻止各种危机,那它一开始就已经是金融规范的基础了。实际上,我们的目的既不是将金融“扫地出门”,也不是使其受到打击惩治,而是要创建一个新体制,使其既能通过国家调控保持稳定性,又能激发私有化企业的主观能动性,从而保持经济的持续增长。 A 敬启者: 感谢贵方发来BS123号订单,订购我们的PM600和PM800旋转式印刷机,并要求十一月份交货。你们所有的要求我们都能够满足,除了PM600,此机目前无货。因此,我们提供两套方案,以供贵方考虑。 1)我们推荐PM630,这是我们最新型号的产品(详细情况请参见所附的说明书),足以替代PM600,该货可与PM800一起于11月装船。 2)如果贵方坚持要PM600,则我方可分两批装运贵方的订货,即11月发运PM800,明年1月发运PM600,此为我方所能安排的最早时间。 恭候贵方决定。 此致 格雷斯华盛顿B. 敬启者: 我方已收到贵方11月5日的报价,对该报价颇为满意。因此,由“海鸥”轮装运的15箱瓷制工艺品,价值为120万加元,从青岛至温哥华,若贵方能对该货运投保仓至仓综合险,我方将不胜感激。 保险凭证需最迟于17日送达我方,因为此凭证将与其他单证一起交给开立信用证的银行。 望贵方早日答复。 此致 丹尼李 卖方:青岛纺织品进出口公司买方:远东贸易有限公司按照下列条款,买方同意买入、卖方同意卖出下述货物,特立约如下:商品:羊毛衫 货号:406L规格:100%羊毛,粉红,蓝色,棕色分别占30%,30%,40%数量:900件单价:25德国马克,成本保险运费欧洲主要口岸,包括佣金2%总价:22,500德国马克(大写贰万贰千伍佰德国马克)包装:每件套一塑料袋,五打装一纸板箱,颜色按上述规定比例调配保险:由卖方按照中国保险条款(1981.1.1)按发票金额110%投保综合险和战争险。装运时间:2009年9/10月,禁止转运装运港:中国青岛目的港:欧洲主要港口,于信用证中明确唛头:由卖方确定付款方式:买方于装运前40天通过一流银行开具以卖方为受益人的金额为100%发票金额不可撤消即期信用证 本合同2009年10月25日签于青岛,正本两份,分别以中文和英文书就,两种文体具有同等效力。若对其解释产生异议,以中文文本为准。买方: 卖方:A. 我们可以摇晃着手指自以为是地说,国内的汽车公司由于缺乏考虑,正在自食其果。幸灾乐祸是一种虚伪的快乐。我们一直在购买大型皮卡和大马力汽车,只要我们还能买到所有发达国家中价格最低的汽油,我们还会继续购买这样的车。然而,一旦燃油价格飙升至每加仑四美元,我们就像婴儿哭哭啼啼闹着要吃奶一样,叫嚷着要更多省油节能型的汽车。 换句话说,汽车工业不愿意在节能减排方面做出更多努力,我们消费者和政客也难辞其咎。在以纯利润为导向的资本主义体制中,为消费者提供其所需的能为投资带来丰厚回报的产品,是再自然不过的事情。 B. 2008款双门和四门“牧马人”在联邦政府撞击测试中均表现优异。吉普品牌还为该系列车型提供诸多安全装置作为标准配置。 双门版和长轴四门版“牧马人”在正面撞击测试中,其“驾驶员及乘客安全”一项均获得五星的好成绩。“侧面撞击测试”还未进行。两款车型在“翻滚测试”中,两轮驱动车型均获四星,四驱车型均获三星。美国公路安全保险协会为2008款“牧马人”正面偏置碰撞试验给出了“优秀”这一最高级别的打分,但在侧面撞击及后部撞击测试中则给了“及格”这一低上许多的成绩。但请注意,这些检测数据是在“牧马人”未选装侧面安全气囊的前提下得出的。 家庭健身房 锐步健骑机您是否正在考虑换一种更健康的生活方式? 为什么不从舒适的家居开始?马上行动,在线订购!订货价值200美元以上,我们将免费为您送货上门。B. 年龄越大越要注意保护双脚 每个人出生时,都有一双丰满的脚;脚底的脂肪组织象一层衬垫,使我们的脚步得到缓冲减震。但随着年龄的增长,这层组织越来越薄,直至无法吸收脚底的震颤。 这就是为什么双脚容易疲劳酸痛的原因。 赫伯特医生发明的通气式鞋垫可替代脚底的脂肪层。它质地柔软,所以每走一步,都会感到舒适自如,与以前大不相同。鞋垫很薄,放在鞋里不打褶,不挤脚,而且还能使脚底保持凉爽干燥。 因为年龄越大,越需要注意保护双脚。C. 招聘美国金融高管需有工商管理硕士学位,20年以上国际金融管理经验,包括公司兼并和收购、风险投资、投资和收购分析、现金管理、项目融资及财务管理等经验。有相关消费品生产、银行、运输和贸易业务经验。家住日内瓦。传真: (4122) 1234567D.
