如果人脑能解决计算机无法解决的问题，那么计算机就永远无法胜人一筹。我相信我在2030年一个普通工作日所能完成的事情绝非2030年最聪明的计算机所能完成的。
我的信心来自我自己的研究，它证明处理速度与人类认知中最紧要的因素无关。
我们知道某些问题可以通过计算机解决——因此在原则上可以利用某种计算机或机器人解决。例如，下无敌象棋的问题，或至少下无人能赢的棋，可以通过计算解决。我们也知道某些问题则不行。
持笔坐在一页白纸前创作像《哈姆雷特》这样的戏剧所要的事情是计算机无法做到的，无论它有多快。
If the human mend can solve problems that computers cannot, then computer will never be able to outperform humans. I believe what I will be able to accomplish on an average workday in 2030 will be utterly beyond 2030`s smartest computing machine.
My confidence stems from my own research, which shows that provessing speed is irrelevant to what`s most impressive in huma cognition.
We know that certain problems can be solved by computation and hence, in principle, by some computer or robot. For example, the problem of playing invincible chess, or at least ches no human can beat, can be solved computationally.We also know that certain problems cannot.
To sit with a pen before a blank piece of papar and produce a play like Hamlet, involves doing something that no computer, however fast, can pull off。
音乐对病人的影响
欢迎参加关于音乐对病人影响的讨论会。我们发现在对病人进行外科手术时播放一些轻松的音乐或对病人说一些鼓励的话可以促进他们手术后的恢复。
为病人播放轻松的音乐或海浪的声音，可减轻他们的痛感。病人会在手术中偷听到医生和护士的谈话，这样可能导致病人手术后的焦虑和不满。
为了避免让病人在手术中偷听到不该听到或曲解的话，我们发现最好为手术中的病人播放一些录好的音乐。但我们必须指出，该发现还须进一步研究以确证。
Welcome to the discussion on the effects of music on patients. According to our findings. hearing relaxing music and encouraging worlds while undergoing operation may ease patients` recovery after surgery.
People who listen to relaxing music and sounds of ocean waves experience less pain. They were less fatigued when released from the hospital, and were able to sip up sooner after their operation than patients who did not listen to music.
Research suggests that the brain may be more aware of what happens during surgery than previously thought. Patients may overhear the remarks of doctors and nurse which could lead to anxiety and dissatisfaction after surgery.
To protect patients from inapproprate or misinterpreted comments overheard during surgery, we found that taped music could be proveded to all patients undergoing surgery. We must say, however, the findings need to be confirmed in additional studies.
这一小段口译虽然不难，但在实战场合，真正流利不出错并正常语速口译出却不是很容易的事，由于紧张、或是基础不扎实，往往做不到做不好。
希望多练习。

我认为一个国家的汇率制度应该从这个国家的国情出发，依据它的经济和金融发展状况来决定。毋庸讳言，我们金融改革的任务还十分艰巨，我们在1996年才实行经常项目下的人民币可兑换，但是实行资本项目下的人民币完全可兑换，还需要长时间的艰苦努力。
The exchange rate of a country`s currency should be set in accordance with its national conditions and the state of its economic and financial sector. There is no denying we still face very daunting tasks in financial and banking reform. We already allowed our currency to be freely convertible in the current account in 1996. but it will take a long time and arduous efforts before we can achieve the objective of a freely convertible currency in the capital account。

人民币汇率改革最早起于1994年，我们当时确定的机制是以市场供求为基础，单一的、有管理的浮动汇率。有人说，人民币汇率固定不变，这不是事实。浮动的幅度小，这是事实。1994年到现在，人民币实际对美元升值了18.5%，对欧元升值39.4%。1997年亚洲发生金融风暴后，我们顶住了要求人民币贬值的压力。从那个时候起，人民币浮动幅度小了。
The Exchange Rate of Renminbi
We began reforming our exchange rate regime(system)in 1994.It was decided at that time that we would adopt (opt for/choose)a market-based, single, regulated floating exchange rate regime.
Some people claim the value of the renminbi is fixed and has not changed. This does not squred with the facts.I think it would be more accurate to say that the band of fluctuation of the renminbi is narrow.
Since 1994, the renminbi has appreciated in real terms by 18.5 percent against the U.S.dollar and by 39.4 percent against the Euro. In 1997, during the Asian financial crisis, we withstood pressures for renminbi devaluation and since then, the band of fluctuation of the value of the renminbi has been narrow the value of the renminbi has fluctuated only within narrow limits）.

Children`s survival,protection ans development improve the quality of the population and advance human society. It is a direct concern for the nation`s future and distiny.
The Chinese government, with an earnest and responsible attitude, always shows great concern for children`s survival, protection and development.

Good morning, I am glad to have the opportunity to meet with business leaders and colleagues here in Mexico today. In many ways, Canada and Mexico are partners. We share common issues and challenges. We both share borders with the United States, the most important export market for each of us. Both Canada and Mexico have recently faced setbacks in cross-border trade with the United States.
We have both been affected by the slowdown in the world economy and by global economic imbalances, although the impact of these factors appears to have been somewhat less in Canada than in Mexico over the past three years. And we are both working on the structural adjustments that are necessary to weather shocks and to thrive in a changing environment. Today, I want to focus my remarks on Canada`s adjustment to global economic changes. I will talk about our challenges in this regard.
上午好！今天我很高兴在墨西哥幸会各位商界领袖和同仁。在很多方面，加拿大和墨西哥都是合作伙伴。我们面临着共同的问题和挑战。我们都与各自最重要的出口市场——美国接壤。加拿大和墨西哥最近都在与美国的边境贸易中受挫。
我们双方都受到世界经济发展缓慢和全球经济不平衡的影响——尽管在过去的三年内这些因素对加拿大的影响比墨西哥要小一些。同时，我主要想谈谈加拿大在世界经济变化中的调整措施。我将谈到在此方面我们所面临的挑战。
黑人
黑人是唯一非自愿到美国来的“移民”。几百年以来，非洲人被迫离开自己的家园到新世界为努。那句“人类生而平等”的话在他们的时代并不适用与黑人。1865年，南北战争的结束于为黑奴带来了自由，但是黑人的社会地位仍然较低。黑人和白人上下不同的学校。在不同的参观吃饭，甚至连喝水到用不同的饮水机。
Black people were the only"immigrants"who didn`t choose to come to America. For hundreds of years, Africans were taken from their homes to be slaves in the New World. The phrase "all men are created equal"didn`t apply to blacks in their day. The end of the Civil War finally brought freedom to the slaves in 1865, but blacks still had a lower position in society. Blacks and whites went to different schools, ate at different restaurants, even drank from diferent water fountains.
