9、创造世界品牌，外国公司想增加在中国的销量，这些都正改变着中国的设计产业。中国制造商意识到，若他们想在本国市场脱颖而出，在外国市场崭露头角，就必须设计更好的产品。索尼这样的外国公司也开始明白，从前海外公司常把随便什么地方设计的产品拿到中国来卖，而现在，中国消费者变得更加挑剔，他们不再那样容易满足了。Made in ChinaChinese companies want to create world brands and the foreign companies want to increase the selling in China which all change the Chinese

12、说，传统美是她的唯一标志。她的皮肤应该天生丽质，没有皱纹，没有疤痕，没有瑕疵。她的身材应该消瘦苗条，通常高挑个，双腿修长，其中青春年少则是首要条件。所有在电视广告中出现的“花容月貌”的靓女都符合这个标准。这种形象是认为的，是可以人工塑造的。许多妇女尽其所能来摆布和修改自己的容貌体态。To a woman, the traditional beauty is her only mark. Her skin should be born smooth without wrinkles, scars or flaws. Her body should be slim and thin, and us

13、ually she is tall, having long legs. The youth is the primary condition. All of the beauties who have showed up in the TV commercials are fit for that criterion.

15、生活，那么，在我们的眼里，这个民族一定是粗野的，不文明的。In China, people know a lot about the art of all arts, namely, the art of life. A comparatively young country will dedicate to the progress; however, an ancient civilized country is experienced and knowledgeable in the life road, and naturally she is interested in how to

16、 lead a good life. As to China, it is much more natural to emphasize the art of life because of the humanism spirit of China, taking people as the center of everything and making human beings happiness as the end of knowledge. Even if there is no humanism, an ancient civilization would also have its

17、 own value standard, and only in this way would it know what the “lasting life pleasure ”is. Any nation, if it does not know how to enjoy life, must be barbaric and uncivilized in our eyes. 1.人文主义精神基本素质采分点。可译为humanism spirit。2.任何一个民族，如果它不知道如何享受生活，那么，在我们的眼里，这个民族一定是粗野的，不文明的。中文句子结构比较松散，在翻译成英文时我们要尽量使句子间

18、有明显的逻辑结构。这里“如果”引导的分句可以作为条件从句前置或内嵌在主句中，“任何一个民族”就可以做主句的主语。7、主动失业 截至2005年第三季度，全国劳动力市场供求状况显示，我国15岁至29岁的青年总体失业率达到了9%，远远高于4.5%的城镇平均登记失业率。而在此之中，选择主动失业的占到了一半以上。“主动放弃就业机会的原因很多，但这些人都有一个共性，就是不会因为经济原因饿死。至少在短时间内。”复旦大学教授葛剑雄认为，社会发展到现在，一些青年人的确具备了可以失业的条件。他们不用像上班族那样刻板地工作，可是相比之下他们的生活却格外“富足”。Update to the third quarter

19、 of 2005,the supply and demand of the whole nations labor force market indicated that the overall unemployment rate of our countrys youth from the age of 15 to 29 was up to 9%,which was much higher than 4.5% of the average rural area register unemployment rate.Among this group,the number of people a

Herons plodded along the shores, Kingfishers and cuckoos clattered from sunlight t

23、o shade, great turkey like birds fussed in dead branches, and hawks hovered above us. There was all the time in the world. And we could appreciate everything surrounding by leisurely.
