Shenzhen, 15 May 2008

Speech by Juergen Boos, Director of the Frankfurt Book Fair

At the opening of the 4th International Cultural Industries Fair(ICIF), China, 16-19 May 2008

I am extremely honoured to be here today for the opening of the fourth International Cultural Industries Fair in Shenzhen, the largest fair of its kind in China.And I congratulate the aspiration of the People’s Republic of China to improve the international marketing and promotion of the Chinese culture.All around the world, people are curious to get to know China better.They are not only interested in the economical and political aspects of the Asian Giant, but also its culture.The Cultural Industries Fair in Shenzhen is an international platform for culture in all its

many aspects – digital media are just as much at home here as print products, dance and folk art, calligraphy and literature.For the first time this year, an entire hall has been dedicated to international exhibitors, emphasising the increased importance China places on international contacts.The topic I would like to focus on today is how to market culture internationally.Because that is exactly what the Frankfurt Book Fair has been doing ever since our reestablishment 60 years ago, after the Second World War.The title of my presentation is: ―Creating the Best International

Platform for the Chinese Book and Media Industry‖.I must admit this is not a difficult task for me.Because in 2009, China will be the Guest of Honour at the Frankfurt Book Fair, the world’s largest fair for content and media.In my opinion, that is a fantastic opportunity for the

presentation of China’s culture and literature to the world.Together with this year’s Summer

Olympics and the World Expo planned for 2010 in Shanghai, China is in an extraordinary position to demonstrate all the many facets of its culture to the world.The Frankfurt Book Fair is unique because there is no other place in the world which brings

together so many international publishers, writers, critics and other publishing professionals.More than 7,000 exhibitors from over 100 countries around the world present their products at our Fair – on 172,000 square metres of exhibition space.And approximately 180,000 trade visitors come to Fair every year from every corner of the world.The attention of the international media is turned to the Guest of Honour for five days in October.Because the Book Fair is such a huge cultural event.There are about 2,700 individual events which take place during the Fair, in the Fair buildings themselves as well as around the city of Frankfurt.Events which traditionally attract around 283,000 visitors.Already several weeks before the fair, the media in Germany begin to focus on the Guest of Honour.Numerous independent events draw attention to the country’s literature and culture.Events which range from readings and discussions on literature, politics and history – to theatre and dance performances, exhibitions, films and concerts.There are often special conferences offered about the visiting country and even special courses at community education centres.The success story of the Frankfurt Book Fair clearly proves that culture and commerce can go hand in hand.On this note, I would like to wish you all a very successful time during the International Cultural Industries Fair in Shenzhen.And I am looking forward to the Guest of Honour presentation of China in 2009!

【主會場】法蘭克福書展主席岳根·博思先生在中國（深圳）國際文化產(chǎn)業(yè)高峰論壇上的演講（中英文稿）

尊敬的各位貴賓，尊敬的各位來賓：

我很高興今天來參加第四屆中國（深圳）國際文化產(chǎn)業(yè)博覽交易會——這個中國最大的文化產(chǎn)業(yè)博覽會的開幕式。祝賀中國文化在國際市場營銷與推廣方面取得成就。世界關注中國，希望更多了解中國的愿望不僅體現(xiàn)在經(jīng)濟和政治領域，還體現(xiàn)在文化領域。

深圳文博會為文化產(chǎn)業(yè)搭建了一個國際性的平臺，在這里文化涵蓋了各個方面，從數(shù)字媒體、印刷產(chǎn)品到舞蹈、民間藝術、書法以及文學等。深圳文博會今年還首次為國際參展商設立了專門的展廳，充分體現(xiàn)了中國對國際合作的重視。

今天我的發(fā)言主要將圍繞―如何開展文化的國際營銷‖展開。因為這也正是法蘭克福書展在二戰(zhàn)后，約60年前的―重生‖以后一直以來的工作。我的報告的主題是―如何為中國書業(yè)和傳媒業(yè)打造最好的國際平臺‖。我必須承認這對我來說并不是一個很難的題目，因為2009年中國將作為法蘭克福書展的主賓國，在世界上最大的內容與傳媒的博覽會上登臺亮相。我覺得這對中國來講是一個在國際舞臺上展示中國文化與文學的絕好機會。連同2008年的北京夏季奧運會和2010年的上海世博會，將使中國獲得難得的機遇，向世界公眾展示中國多樣文化的魅力。

世界上沒有一個地方能像法蘭克福書展這樣吸引著全世界的出版人、作家、評論家以及出版界的各種專業(yè)人士。每年在法蘭克福書展172000平米的展場上，聚集了來自100多個國家的7000多家參展商來展示他們的產(chǎn)品。約180000位來自世界各地的專業(yè)人士每年參加法蘭克福書展。

國際媒體的注意力也被十月的五天里的法蘭克福書展上的主賓國展示所吸引。因為法蘭克福書展是世界頂級的文化盛事。大約283000位參展者會參與到2700多場文化活動中，無論是

在展場還是在法蘭克福市周圍。在書展開幕的數(shù)周之前，德國的媒體就已經(jīng)開始聚焦主賓國了。

眾多的各種文化活動將吸引人們關注主賓國的文學與文化。從以文學、政治、歷史為主題的各種朗誦會和研討會，到戲劇、舞蹈演出、展覽、電影和音樂會。還經(jīng)常有關于主賓國的專業(yè)會議和國民大學課程。法蘭克福書展成功的歷史充分證明了，文化與貿(mào)易可以緊密的結合在一起。從這個意義上，我祝愿深圳文博會取得圓滿成功，祝愿大家在文博會上取得業(yè)績。我很期待2009年法蘭克福書展上中國主賓國的展示！

第三篇：英語專八改錯部分真題及答案

So far as we can tell, all human languages are equally complete and perfect as instruments of communication: that is, every language appears to be as well equipped as any other to say the things its speakers want to say.It may or may not be appropriate to talk about primitive peoples or cultures, but that is another matter.Certainly, not all groups of people are equally competent in nuclear physics or psychology or the cultivation of rice or the engraving of Benares brass.But this is not the fault of their language.The Eskimos can speak about snow with a great deal more precision and subtlety than we can in English, but this is not because the Eskimo language(one of those sometimes miscalled ’primitive’)is inherently more precise and subtle than English.This example does not bring to light a defect in English, a show of unexpected ’primitiveness’.The position is simply and obviously that the Eskimos and the English live in different environments.The English language would be just as rich in terms for different kinds of snow, presumably, if the environments in which English was habitually used made such distinction important.Similarly, we have no reason to doubt that the Eskimo language could be as precise and subtle on the subject of motor manufacture or cricket if these topics formed part of the Eskimos’ life.For obvious historical reasons, Englishmen in the nineteenth century could not talk about motorcars with the minute discrimination which is possible today: cars were not a part of their culture.But they had a host of terms for horse-drawn vehicles which send us, puzzled, to a historical dictionary when we are reading Scott or Dickens.How many of us could distinguish between a chaise, a landau, a victoria, a brougham, a coupe, a gig, a diligence, a whisky, a calash, a tilbury, a carriole, a phaeton, and a clarence ?

第四篇：2014專四部分真題

2014年英語專四考試真題答案

完型填空部分

The Victorians had become addicted to speed and, like all speed crazy kids, they wanted to go ever faster.Time was money and efficiency became increasingly important.Although division of labour had been conceived by Adam Smith and illustrated by a pin factory in The Wealth of Nations in 1776, it could now become fully realised.This specialisation andindividualisation of labour was in marked contrast to the rural means of production, in which the family was the means of production, consumption and socialisation.With greater speed came a greater need for industries and businesses to make more and make it quicker.Steam made this possible and changed working life forever.Gone were the days when work was dictated by natural forces: steam engines were servant to neither season nor sunshine.Factories had foremen and life became correspondingly more regimented.The clocking-on machine was invented in 1885 and time and motion studies to increase efficiency would be introduced only some twenty years later.But it was not all bad news.Agricultural incomes

depended on variable harvests and weather.Factories provided secure and predictable income, but long hours.Working life was becoming increasingly regulated, and the working week was reorganised to promote ever-greater efficiency.The old custom of St.Mondaywas gradually phased out and to compensate, work stopped around midday on Saturday and did not resume until Monday morning.A new division between 'work' and 'leisure' emerged, and this new block of weekend leisure time coincided with the development of spectator sports like cricket and football, and the rise of music hall entertainment for the new working classes.閱讀部分真題（網(wǎng)友版）

TEXT A

After breakfast the boys wandered out into the play-ground.Here the day-boys were gradually assembling.They were sons of the local clergy, of the officers at the Depot, and of such

manufacturers or men of business as the old town possessed.Presently a bell rang, and they all trooped into school.This consisted of a large, long room at opposite ends of which two

under-masters conducted the second and third forms, and of a smaller one, leading out of it, used by Mr.Watson, who taught the first form.To attach the preparatory to the senior school these three classes were known officially, on speech days and in reports, as upper, middle, and lower second.Philip was put in the last.The master, a red-faced man with a pleasant voice, was called Rice;he had a jolly manner with boys, and the time passed quickly.Philip was surprised when it was a quarter to eleven and they were let out for ten minutes' rest.The whole school rushed noisily into the play-ground.The new boys were told to go into the middle, while the others stationed themselves along opposite walls.They began to play Pig in the Middle.The old boys ran from wall to wall while the new boys tried to catch them: when one was seized and the mystic words saidhe became a prisoner and, turning sides, helped to catch those who were still free.Philip saw a boy running past and tried to

catch him, but his limp gave him no chance;and the runners, taking their opportunity, made straight for the ground he covered.Then one of them had the brilliant idea of imitating Philip's clumsy run.Other boys saw it and began to laugh;then they all copied the first;and they ran round Philip, limping grotesquely, screaming in their treble voices with shrill laughter.They lost their heads with the delight of their new amusement, and choked with helpless merriment.One of them tripped Philip up and he fell, heavily as he always fell, and cut his knee.They laughed all the louder when he got up.A boy pushed him from behind, and he would have fallen again if another had not caught him.The game was forgotten in the entertainment of Philip's deformity.One of them invented an odd, rolling limp that struck the rest as supremely ridiculous, and several of the boys lay down on the ground and rolled about in laughter: Philip was completely scared.He could not make out why they were laughing at him.His heart beat so that he could hardly breathe, and he was more frightened than he had ever been in his life.He stood still stupidly while the boys ran round him, mimicking and laughing;they shouted to him to try and catch them;but he did not move.He did not want them to see him run any more.He was using all his strength to prevent himself from crying.選自：人性的枷鎖 Of Human Bondage 第十一章

TEXT B

For parents who send their kids off to college saying, “These will be the best years of your life,” it would be very appropriate to add, “If you can handle the stress of college life.”

Freshmen are showing up already stressed out, according to the latest CIRP Freshman

Survey that reported students' emotional health levels at their lowest since the survey started in 1985.While in school, more students are working part-time and near-full-time jobs.At graduation, only 29 percent of seniors have jobs lined up.Pressure to excel often creates stress, and many students are not learning how to effectively handle this stress.1)Stress can make smart people do stupid things: Stress causes what brain researchers call “cortical inhibition.” In simple terms, stress inhibits a part of the brain responsible for

decision-making and reaction time and can adversely affect other mental abilities as well.2)The human body doesn't discriminate between a big stressful event and a little one: Any stressful experience will create a cascade of 1,400 biochemical events in your body.If any amount of stress is left unchecked, many things can occur within the body, including premature aging, impaired cognitive function and energy drain.3)Stress can become your new norm: When you regularly experience negative feelings and high amounts of stress, your brain recognizes this as your normal state.This then becomes the new norm, or baseline for your emotional state.4)Stress can be controlled: Countless studies demonstrate that people can restructure their emotional stateusing emotion-refocusing techniques.These techniques help you recognize how you are feeling and shift to a more positive emotional, mental and physical state.5)Stress less by loving what you study: Barbara Frederickson, a leading international authority on the importance of positive emotions, says humans are genetically programmed to seek positive emotions such as love and joy.It's suggested to choose a major or career path you love and enjoy.Otherwise, you could end up fighting against your own biology.選自：華盛頓郵報

TEXT C

For anyone who doubts that the texting revolution is upon us, consider this: The average 13-to 17-year-old sends and receives 3,339 texts a month—more than 100 per day, according to the Nielsen Co., the media research firm.Adults are catching up.People from ages 45 to 54 sent and received 323 texts a month in the second quarter of 2010, up 75% from a year ago, Nielsen says.Behind the texting explosion is a fundamental shift in how we view our mobile devices.That they are phones is increasingly beside the point.Part of what's driving the texting surge among adults is the popularity of social media.Sites like Twitter, with postings of no more than 140 characters, are creating and reinforcing the habit of communicating in micro-bursts.And these sites also are pumping up sheer volume.Many Twitter and Facebook devotees create settings that alert them, via text message, every time a tweet or message is earmarked for them.In October 2009, 400 million texts alerted social-media users to such new messages across AT&T's wireless network, says Mark Collins, AT&T senior vice president for data and voice products;by September 2010, the number had more than doubled to one billion.(Twitter reports more than two billion tweets are sent each month.)

Nowadays, there is a widespread concern over the issue that should english majors study math.Some people hold that all of students should study math, others do not agree.As for me, I agree with the later opinion.WIth university budgets cut , more and more universities choose to cancel math education.Providing math as part of education helps develop intelligence that leads to greater success in school and in life.Every student in the nation should have an

education in math until they prepare to work.Universities should do everything they can to spread the importance of math.And advance the resort of math education as part of the core.Giving a student opportunity to study accounting can promote his or her later success in society.Reseachers have found that students involved in math likely to succeed in society.Math is not only a skill, but also a culture in a word ,non english majors study english in college is benefit to their life and future.They should study Math in college.

第五篇：專八口語考試備考攻略

英語專業(yè)八級口試口譯部分的備考攻略

1.擴展知識面，關心國內國際時事。

口譯與話題評論涉及的內容大都是社會上近期出現(xiàn)的熱點或者是大家普遍關心的社會問題，如2010年的中譯英內容就是有關世博會中國館館長介紹中國館情況的講話。因此考生在平時備考時應該多多關心時事，對各個方面的社會問題多關注，尤其是與中國有關的時事，多看媒體評論，尤其是可以重點關注CCTV9、China Daily，Beijing Review等國內對外宣傳的媒體，熟悉熱點話題的中英文表達，這樣才能在考試時有的放矢，發(fā)揮自如。

2.做好口譯筆記，盡量不要漏譯，更不可亂譯和誤譯。

口譯材料2-3分鐘，口譯其中的一部分或全部內容。講話放兩遍，第一遍是完整的內容沒有停頓，第二遍是需要口譯的內容，通常包括4個或4個以上段落，每個段落大約包括2-3個句子?？忌隈雎犱浺魰r可以做筆記?？谧g是否成功某種程度上取決于筆記是否做得好。

英語專業(yè)八級口語考試前兩項的英中互譯都是量化評分，而不是整體評分。具體講就是先把5個句子或句群從整篇講稿中抽取出來。再把每一個句子或句群切分為5個得分點，每個得分點分值4分。這樣英譯中和中譯英滿分分別是100分。

例：2009年英譯中的第三個句群

The world’s first automobile assembly line//began operation at Ford’s plant//over 106 years ago.//And what a journey it has been since then—bringing us all the way here//to celebrate this milestone today.//

上面的例子有5個切分，每個值4分，共計20分。不過不是每個詞都需要譯出來，bringing us all the way here中的all the way不譯不扣分。有些得分點還可以繼續(xù)切分，如began operation /at Ford’s plant這樣在分割后的每個新得分點分值是2。知道這個評分細節(jié)后，同學們在口語考試中需要做好口譯筆記，尤其記住數(shù)字等關鍵詞，盡量不要漏譯，更不可亂譯和誤譯。

3.關注禮儀演講，儲備常用詞匯和用法。

這些年來，八級口語考試的英譯中和中譯英一直采用禮儀類演講材料，包括開幕詞、答謝詞、歡迎詞、新年致辭和祝酒詞等，如2009年英語專業(yè)八級口語考試第一項英譯中是“長安福特汽車新工廠竣工投產(chǎn)儀式講話”，第二項中譯英是“第四屆世界城市論壇新聞發(fā)布會講話”；2010年英譯中（2010年考試真題參見網(wǎng)站）是印度尼西亞高級官員在“印尼國際友好協(xié)會”啟動儀式上的講話，中譯英則是2010年熱點，世博會中國館館長在新聞發(fā)布會上介紹中國館的講話，這些都屬于禮儀類演講。

這些材料的特點是短小、套話、便于量化評分和覆蓋口譯要點。對英語專業(yè)四年級的同學而言是可以掌握的，也是必須掌握的。所使用的材料是精心挑選的，完全符合《大綱》的要求，歷年難度變化不大；朗讀者都是標準發(fā)音，幾乎不帶口音；語速也是標準語速，每分鐘150詞到170詞。預留出來的錄音時間充裕，同學們不用搶著說，正常講話速度就行。

考生在平時備考口譯時一定要多多關注開幕式、答謝詞、歡迎詞、祝酒詞等禮儀演講，熟悉這些演講中常見的中英文表達法，儲備常用的中英文詞匯和句子，這樣在考試的時候就比較容易進入狀態(tài)，發(fā)揮得心應手。
