  加拿大的温哥华1986年刚刚度过百岁生日,但城市的发展令世界瞩目。以港立市,以港兴市,是许多港口城市生存发展的道路。经过百年开发建设,有着天然不冻良港的温哥华,成为举世闻名的港口城市,同亚洲、大洋洲、欧洲、拉丁美洲均有定期班轮,年货物吞吐量达到8,000万吨,全市就业人口中有三分之一从事贸易与运输行业。 

  温哥华(Vancouver)的辉煌是温哥华人智慧和勤奋的结晶,其中包括多民族的贡献。加拿大地广人稀,国土面积比中国还大,人口却不足3000万。吸收外来移民,是加拿大长期奉行的国策。可以说,加拿大除了印第安人外,无一不是外来移民,不同的只是时间长短而已。温哥华则更是世界上屈指可数的多民族城市。现今180万温哥华居民中,有一半不是在本地出生的,每4个居民中就有一个是亚洲人。而25万华人对温哥华的经济转型起着决定性的作用。他们其中有一半是近5年才来到温哥华地区的,使温哥华成为亚洲以外最大的中国人聚居地。

(参考译文)In 1986, Vancouver, Canada, just marked its centennial anniversary, but the achievements made by the city in its urban development have already captured worldwide attention. To build up a city and model its economy on the basis of a harbor is the usual practice that port cities resort to for their existence and development. After a century’s construction and development, Vancouver, which boasts of a naturally-formed ice-free harbor, has become an internationally celebrated port city, operating regular ocean liners with Asia, Oceania, Europe and Latin America. Its annual cargo-handling capacity reaches 80 million tons, with one third of the city’s employed population engaged in trade and transportation business. 

  The glorious achievements of Vancouver is the crystallization (fruition) of the wisdom (intelligence) and the industry of the Vancouver people as a whole, including the contributions made by a diversity of ethnic minorities. Canada is a large country with a small population. Although its territory is bigger than that of China, it only has a population of less than 30 million people. Consequently, to attract and to accept foreign immigrants have become a national policy long observed by Canada. It can be safely asserted that, except for Indians, all Canadian citizens are foreign immigrants, differing only in the length of time they have settled in Canada. Vancouver, in particular, is one of the few most celebrated multi-ethnic cities in the world. At present, among the 1.8 million Vancouver residents, half of them are not native-born and one out of every four residents is from Asia. The 250,000 Chinese there have played a decisive role in facilitating the transformation of the Vancouver economy. Half of them have come to settle in Vancouver only over the past five years, making Vancouver the largest area outside Asia where the Chinese concentrate.

  In some societies people want children for what might be called familial reasons: to extend the family line or the family name, to propitiate the ancestors; to enable the proper functioning of religious rituals involving the family. Such reasons may seem thin in the modern, secularized society but they have been and are powerful indeed in other places. 

  In addition, one class of family reasons shares a border with the following category, namely, having children in order to maintain or improve a marriage: to hold the husband or occupy the wife; to repair or rejuvenate the marriage; to increase the number of children on the assumption that family happiness lies that way. The point is underlined by its converse: in some societies the failure to bear children (or males) is a threat to the marriage and a ready cause for divorce. 

  Beyond all that is the profound significance of children to the very institution of the family itself. To many people, husband and wife alone do not seem a proper family -they need children to enrich the circle, to validate its family character, to gather the redemptive influence of offspring. Children need the family, but the family seems also to need children, as the social institution uniquely available, at least in principle, for security, comfort, assurance, and direction in a changing, often hostile, world. To most people, such a home base, in the literal sense, needs more than one person for sustenance and in generational extension.

(参考译文)在某些社会中,人们希望拥有孩子是出于所谓的家庭原因:传宗接代,光宗耀祖,博取祖辈的欢心,使那些涉及到整个家族的宗教仪式得以发挥其应有的作用。此类原因在现代世俗化的社会中似显苍白,但它们在其他地方曾一度构成并确实仍在构成强有力的理由。 此外,有一类家庭原因与下列类别不无共通之处,这便是:生儿育女是为着维系或改善婚姻:能拴住丈夫或者使妻子不致于无所事事;修复婚姻或为婚姻注入新的活力;多子多孙,以为家庭幸福,惟系于此。这一点更可因其相反情形而得以凸现:在某些社会中,无法生儿育女(或无法生育男孩)于婚姻而言可构成一种威胁,并可作为离婚的一个顺理成章的(或现成的)缘由。 

  除了所有这一切以外,还有一个原因,那就是后代对于家庭这一体制本身所具有的深远意义。对许多人来说,夫妇两人尚不足以构成一个真正意义上的家庭--夫妻需要孩子来丰富其两人小天地,赋予该小天地以真正意义上的家庭性质,并从子孙后代身上获取某种回报。
孩子需要家庭,但家庭似乎也需要孩子。作为一种社会体制,家庭以其特有的方式,至少从原则上说,可在一个变幻莫测、常常是充满敌意的世界中让人从中获取某种安全、慰藉、保障,以及价值取向。于大多数人而言,这样的一个家庭基础,即使从其表层意义上来讲,也需要不至一个人来维持其存在,并使其世代相传,生生不息。

  徐霞客一生周游考察了16个省,足迹几乎遍及全国。他在考察的过程中,从来不盲目迷信书本上的结论。他发现前人研究地理的记载有许多不很可靠的地方。为了进行真实细致的考察,他很少乘车坐船,几乎全靠双脚翻山越岭,长途跋涉;为了弄清大自然的真相,他总是挑选道路艰险的山区,人烟稀少的森林进行考察,发现了许多奇山秀景;他常常选择不同的时间和季节,多次重游各地名山,反复观察变换的奇景。 

(参考译文)During his lifetime, Xu Xiake traveled around and conducted surveys in 16 provinces. He left his footsteps in virtually every part of the country. In the process of conducting his surveys and investigations, he would never blindly embrace the conclusions recorded in previous documents. Instead, he discovered that the documentations made by his predecessors in their geographical studies were not quite reliable in many aspects. In order to ensure that his reconnaissance were real and detailed, he seldom traveled by ship or by wagon. He climbed over mountains and hills and traveled long distances almost entirely on foot. In order to develop a true picture of the natural world, he made it a point of undertaking his expeditions in those mountain areas where roads were difficult to travel and in those woods that were sparsely populated. In this way he discovered many marvelous mountains and beautiful scenes. He frequently chose different times and seasons of the year to make repeated visits to the famous mountains across the country so that he could make repeated observations of their wonderful scenery that kept changing all year round.

  The thirty-second day out of Bombay began inauspiciously. In the morning a sea smashed one of the galley doors. We dashed in through lots of steam and found the cook very wet and indignant with the ship: "She’s getting worse every day. She’s trying to drown me in front of my own stove!" He was very angry. We pacified him, and the carpenter, though washed away twice from there, managed to repair the door. Through that accident our dinner was not ready till late, but it didn’t matter in the end because Knowles, who went to fetch it, got knocked down by a sea and the dinner went over the side. The ship’s captain, looking more hard and thin-lipped than ever, would not notice that the ship, asked to do too much, appeared to lose heart altogether for the first time since we knew her. 

(参考译文)出孟买湾之后的第32天开始就透着些许的不祥。清晨,海浪先是将一扇船门砸坏。我们冒着浓浓的雾气冲了进去,发现厨师浑身湿透,正在对这条船大发牢骚。"它变得一天比一天不中用了。它愣是要想法子把我淹死在这炉灶前。"他显得异常的愤怒。我们设法让他平静下来,而木工尽管被海水冲走过两次,但还是努力把门修好。由于发生了这一变故,我们的晚饭直到很晚才弄好,但这一点最终也变得无关紧要,因为前去厨房端饭菜的Knowles被汹涌的波涛掀倒在地,饭菜顺着船舷全都撒入海中。船长脸上的表情变得愈发严峻,双唇紧咬。他全然没能意识到,整条船由于被要求去完成许多它力所不能及的任务,打从我们认识它以来,首次出现了力不从心的迹象

  近代的上海,十里洋场,自开埠以来,固然有许多辛酸的不平等的血泪史,固然有许多污泥浊水,这里被称为是"冒险家的乐园",这里有鸦片,有荡妇,有赌棍,使人纸醉金迷,乃至使人堕落。可是,上海这座近代大城市却更有它的另一面,它有活力、它聪慧、革新、进取,它敢于担风险,有竞争意识及机制,这种城市意识或风格,使人奋发,跟上时代,走向进步。 

(参考译文)In the contemporary period, Shanghai as a metropolis infested by foreign adventurers has indeed recorded, since the opening of its commercial port, a bitter, blood-and-tear history of many miseries and inequalities. Referred to as the Paradise of Adventurers, Shanghai was indeed home to "human sludge and filth" where one could find opium, dissolute women and gamblers. It was a place that made people indulge in luxury and dissipation and given to sensuous pleasures, even inducing people to become degenerate. However, there is a different and more important picture of Shanghai as a modern metropolis. It has been full of vitality and vigor, displaying its unique intelligence and wisdom, characterized by an innovative and enterprising spirit. It has the courage to assume risks and is in possession of both the awareness and the mechanism of competition. Such a metropolitan mentality or style inspires its residents, encouraging them to keep abreast with the changing epochs and to make efforts toward greater progress.

  Michael Jordan, a basketball player in whom commentators have discerned aristocratic qualities and supernatural powers, has retired from the game that made him one of the worlds’ best known and best paid sportsmen. 

  Last week’s announcement was premature by most people’s measurement - Jordan is 30 and at the height of his playing and earning power - but it was not, by his own account, taken hastily, or rashly. "This is, " he said, with a rare stumble, " the perfect timing for me to walk away." 

  After three championships with the Chicago Bulls, a second gold medal with the US team at the 1992 Olympics, Jordan felt his motivation slipping away. "I’m at the pinnacle, " he told a thronged press conference. "I just feel I don’t have anything else to prove." 

  But this explanation may appear too simple to satisfy the skeptics, who have recently discovered that Jordan does not lead an untroubled private life. First came the allegations that he gambled - in a country where gambling is mostly illegal - and that his gambling was out of control. Then his father was shot dead on July 23. 

(参考译文) 迈克尔.乔丹,一位被评论家们誉为有着贵族气质和超凡才华的篮球运动员,已经从篮坛隐退,而正是篮球这项运动。使其成为世界上最为著名和报酬最为丰厚的运动员之一。 

  依照大多数人的衡量标准,上周的宣布显得为时过早,因为乔丹刚年届30,正处在其运动生涯和赚钱本领之颠峰。但按他自己的说法,他作出这一决定,既非一时冲动,亦非出于鲁莽。"这于我而言--"他说道,带着一种罕见的吞吞吐吐,"不啻是淡出体坛的绝佳时机。" 

  在随芝加哥公牛队赢取了三次冠军,并随美国队在1992年奥运会上再夺金牌之后,乔丹觉得他的行为动机正在悄然消逝。"我已攀至我事业的顶峰",他在一个人满为患的记者招待会上告诉大家,"我真的觉得我已经没有什么别的东西好去证明的了。" 

  但此番解释对于那些持怀疑态度的人来说显得过于简单,无法令人置信。这些怀疑论调者最近发现,乔丹并非过着一种风平浪静的个人生活。首先传出的是他进行赌博的传言--在一个赌博很大程度上为非法的国家里,并且,他的赌博已到了无法收拾的地步。其次是他的父亲于7月23日被人枪杀身亡。
