SECTION3:TRANSLATION1

世界的面貌正在发生引人注目的变化，其变化之快几乎就象这座城市德空中轮廓。今天，冷战已经

结束。全球核冲突的危险性已大大减小，商品和思想的自由交流正在激发地球村的概念。但是，正如世界

各国会受益于这个新世界的美好前景，没有一个国家能够免遭其祸害。缔造和平与繁荣，抵御不分国界的

诸多威胁一恐怖主义、贩毒、疾病和环境破坏，这些与我们大家都有着利害关系。

为了最有效地迎接这些挑战，中国和美国必须协力行动。有些人说，随着冷战的结束，美中关系的

战略意义已经减弱了。我认为这些人刚好说反了。随着新世纪的开始，加强美国和中国的联系，其重要性

将变得更大。

海豚与鲸鱼一样，需要不时浮出水面以其头顶上的鼻孔进行呼吸。海豚是群居动物，爱结伴。事实上，

不少海豚还以与人相处为乐，它们在水中供人乘骑之事也是常有所闻的。

除了可爱逗趣之外，海豚对于人类是极有帮助的。例如，早在公元前400年希腊诗人艾里昂就因溺水

而被一头海豚救起。至今为止，海豚一直在帮助遇到麻烦的游泳者。不仅如此，它们还能帮助人们捕鱼。

更有甚者，海豚智力发达。它的大脑与人类的相似，但容量更大。因而有人宣称，海豚真的比人更聪

明。当然，现在没法证明这点。脑容量并不是一个决定聪明程度的检测标准。还有，由于人们无法完全同

海豚进行交流，也就不可能用其他方法测定它们的智力，然而，海豚与海豚之间显然能进行交流。不管怎

么说，他们发出的哨音、咔哒声和嗡嗡声等至少是一种语言的形式。但是，迄今为止人们尚不能解释海豚

语言交流的密码。
