open and outward-looking spirit. Tolerance does not mean indifference towards those we see as "others" than ourselves, towards their culture and religion, background or origin. Tolerance requires that we have some knowledge arid understanding of these others.

When familiar structures disappear, borders become irrelevant and the language of the market invades every aspect of dally life, people increasingly look to their cultural roots. They seek to reassert their identity-in terms of language, ethnic origin, religion or cultural heritage. To want to know who and what you are is a natural and very powerful human need. It is a need, I believe, responsible leaders should respond to, got suppress, because only the right kind of response will prevent people from turning to the false and dangerous supporter of nationalism, fundamentalism or xenophobia. However—and this is crucial— responsible leaders must resist the temptation to exploit this need for their own purposes. The frightening scenario of escalating cultural conflict in a world of soon seven billion people should be a strong incentive for all of us to look for practical ways to foster cooperation.

We are required to provide honest answers to tough questions which I do not want to suppress. What are different religious groups ready to contribute to this joint effort? Is there a readiness to seriously discuss the tensions and contradictions that arise from a strict interpretation of different religions on the one hand and fundamental human rights as we understand them on the other? Can we reach a consensus on the rights of women, on their full participation in society, on their equal right to education and training? Is there a broad consensus to unambiguously condemn any religious justification of suicide attacks? Can we work together to find a peaceful and just agreement on the question of Jerusalem, thereby resolving one of the most difficult issues of the Middle East conflict? An agreement which will provide a peaceful solution that satisfies all the faithful, one that is worthy of the three great religions? Those are questions we cannot evade if we are serious about preventing cultural and political faultiness.

We must engage in a dialogue among civilizations, a commitment to the peaceful resolution of differences, to tolerance and mutual respect. That is a challenge that requires a clear understanding, however, of our own fundamental values, values we must defend but also live up to.

Our world will always be defined by the diversity of our societies and cultural traditions. If there is respect and tolerance for our differences, they will enrich all our lives. But if such differences are exploited for political ends, they may cause untold harm.

What is the real meaning of tolerance and dialogue in this whole process? This dialogue can only succeed, if Orient and Occident engage in it on equal terms. Tolerance, then, means respecting the fact that civilizations are different. Dialogue, as I see it, means seeking a common understanding of those values that will guide us through the twenty-first century.

This kind of "intercultural dialogue" is a very ambitious goal. To achieve it, we must all begin work at home, within our own societies. We for our part are striving to develop and practice the kind of tolerance I have described. That needs time and in some cases requires difficult judgments.

Once we have reached a clear and solid consensus on those values we hold in common, it is up to political leaders to endorse these rights. They must defend this spirit of openness in society, defend it against the modem fundamentalisms that seek to impose their own absolute truths. For me, this also means people must be free to practice their religion. The way minorities

女士们、先生们!

这是我第三次访问非洲。非洲自然资源丰富，发展潜力巨大。尽管经历了数百年的殖民统治和掠夺，尽管现在还面临着不少困难和挑战，但非洲人民勤劳勇敢、不畏艰难、勇于进取，给我们留下了深刻印象。时代在发展，非洲在进步。我们高兴地看到，经过几代人的奋斗，非洲大陆完成了非殖民化进程，废除了种族隔离制度，对人类文明进步做出了巨大贡献。经过几十年的不懈努力，非洲的和平与发展事业取得了积极进展。近年来，非洲致力于解决地区冲突，总体形势趋向稳定。非洲各国以经济建设、摆脱贫困和改善民生为首要任务，积极探索适合本国国情的发展道路，全非经济连续九年保持增长。非洲在国际社会的帮助下，着力兴办教育，注重培养人才，努力解决艾滋病等社会问题。非洲国家同其他发展中国家携手推动南南合作，在国际事务中发挥着积极作用。中国政府和人民对非洲取得的每一项成就都由衷地感到高兴。我们相信在非洲各国政府和人民的不懈努力和国际社会的支持下，非洲的振兴一定会实现。

，心情非常激动。我解释说希望她给我讲一下她是怎样成为诗人的。“我已有多年没有写诗了，”她微笑说，“可是我还是爱读好诗。”

冰心很幸运地有鼓励她学习和写作的父母。一九一九年她在北京一所女子学院念书时，一个事件改变了她生命的整个道路。那就是五四运动，一个由北京学生发动的爱国民主运动。群众游行示威的场面给她以深刻的印象。她投身于斗争中，并披学生会任命负责宣传工作。她写了诗歌，文章和故事，以抨击帝国主义和各种形式的封建主义。

她在1923年到美国去学文学，在旅途中和在美国居留中写下了她的感受。这些都收在一个集子里出版，就是《寄小读者》。这本书使她声誉突起。这不仅是因为她是一位女作家，而是因为书中的高尚的情操。有不少较年轻的作家说，是冰心的作品使他们走上了其后所走的道路。

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Let me start by telling you the story of Beatrice Gakuba. In Rwanda in Africa, I met a remarkable woman whose hard work and determination symbolize the talents and dreams of millions of Africans.

Beatrice Gakuba left a comfortable life in the West to start a flower-growing business in her native Rwanda. Against enormous odds, her small farm grew, creating jobs for nearly 200 rural women. When I asked Beatrice Gakuba why she decided to take on such a daunting challenge, she replied, "I came here to grow beautiful flowers on the ashes of genocide." Her biggest obstacle to creating even more jobs is not a lack of skilled workers or entrepreneurial spirit; it is a weak infrastructure that makes electricity unreliable and transportation unaffordable.

Through sound policies, Rwanda has come a long way from its years of pain and conflict. In a new report, Rwanda is cited by the World Bank as a model for Africa in reforming business regulations. In the last seven years, Rwanda's economy grew an average of more than 6 percent annually. Some other African countries are on the right track. To transform. Africa into a continent of hope, they need our help.

The responsibility for doing more and better cannot be left to the developing world alone. It demands more than high profile meetings. It demands urgent result.

Today, we have a choice.

The direction we take now can help make a difference for the millions of people trapped in extreme poverty. For many, it can be a difference between life and death.

We promised here five years ago, to help bring hope, dignity and opportunity into the lives of the poorest. We promised to measure and achieve results. As we gather here today, let us not forget the Beatrice Gakubas of the world, who stand poised to transform. their countries.

Today, we stand accountable to them.

Thank you.

谈看法?

B: Thanks. Actually I've been an ardent fan of Chinese kungfu movies. And you know, some talented Chinese directors, like Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, and of course, An Lee, have already shown the great charm and potential of Chinese movies. They took in the last decade or so almost all film awards one by one, big or small, except Oscar. So, I can predict with great confidence they will win a heap of Oscar titles in ten years' time.

A: 有人说，一年一度的奥斯卡金像奖没什么特别的，它只不过是一场游戏罢了。请问您怎么看?

B: To some extent, yes. It is a game, a grand, happy game by Americans and in the American way. When it is finished, you needn't think about it any longer. It may benefit many people and boost their celebrity. For example, if an actor wins an Oscar, he or she will be able to sign five films the next year, each valued more than 10 million US dollars. All these are concrete things, but these aside, it is only a game, nothing special.

A: 虽说是一场游戏，但为什么每年都会在全球范围内搞得沸沸扬扬，引发出那么多话题呢?

B: Well, the reason is quite obvious — the American film industry is too strong! Most American films are commercial and they dominate the globe with their high box-office income and large market share. So Americans happily play such a grand game every year, making the whole world reel around it. My keenest feeling is only when a country becomes a decisive force on the international arena can its cultural products be influential. I believe that's the real reason why you Chinese, or even people all over the world, are unable to shake off their Oscar complex.

分重要，而且对世界的和平和发展也十分重要。

1972年尼克松总统第一次访问中国时说，对美国人民来说，远隔太平洋的中国是一个遥远而神秘的国度，将近30年后的今天，这种神秘感显然是减少了，但两国之间的了解比应该达到的程度仍相差很远。

人民之间的了解和友谊是两国关系的基石，“2000年中国文化美国行”就是为铺筑这样的基石而努力。

加强区域能源合作 共创亚太美好未来

资源节约与综合利用司副司长 刘显法

2002年7月25日

各位来宾、女士们、先生们：

上午好!今天，我们在这里联合召开“亚太地区可持续能源发展”国际研讨会，来自亚太地区10个国家和有关国际组织的政府官员、企业家和专家学者聚集在此，总结交流经验，分析新世纪可持续能源发展面临的形势，共同研讨亚太地区可持续能源政策、发展战略以及政策措施。[TONE]∥[TONE]

能源是国民经济发展的基础，也是经济社会可持续发展的重要制约的因素。改革开放20多年来，我国政府制定并贯彻实施了“能源开发与节约并重、提高能源利用效率”的方针，能源开发取得了巨大成就，能源生产总量由1980年的6.37亿吨增长到2000年的10.70亿吨，其中水能、太阳能、风能、生物质能等可再生能能源开发总量达到8600万吨，占全国商品能源总消费量的6.6%；同时能源效率不断提高，以一次能源消费年均4.7%的增长支持了国民经济年均9.5%的增长速度，实现了经济发展所需能源一半靠开发，一半靠节约的目标。[TONE]∥[TONE]

展望新世纪，人口、资源、环境成为世界各国经济和社会发展中面临的三大问题，而其核心是 资源问题，特别是能源资源的可持续发展问题。亚太地区有将近世界一半的人口，能源消费总量占 世界消费总量的20%以上，随着经济的快速发展，这个比例还会进一步增加。亚太地区能源生产消 费方式及其变化，必将对世界能源发展带来深刻的影响。提高能源利用效率、加大可再生能源开发 力度和采用新能源技术是解决能源和环境问题的最现实、最经济的途径，也是亚太地区可持续发展 战略的重要组成部分。[TONE]∥[TONE]

二十一世纪前十年将是中国经济结构战略性调整的关键时期，为此，我们将采取完善法规、加 快企业技术改造、加强技术开发和推广应用、加强宣传教育培训等措施，以及财政、金融激励政策， 同时进一步加强国际交流与合作，学习借鉴国外先进经验和技术，为推进我国能源可持续发展，减 少污染物排放、保护环境做出更大贡献。

最后，预祝本次研讨会取得圆满成功!

谢谢大家![TONE]∥[TONE]

f widespread environmental damage for which it has been blamed. It forms when oxides of sulfur and nitrogen combine with atmospheric moisture to yield sulfuric and nitric acids, which may then be carded long distances from their source before they are deposited by rain. The pollution many also take the form. of snow or fog or be precipitated in dry forms. In fact, although the term "acid rain" has been in use for more than a century — it is derived from atmospheric studies that were made in the region of Manchester, England — the more accurate scientific term would be "acid deposition." The dry form. of such precipitation is just as damaging as the liquid form, especially to trees and structures. Furthermore, some of the pollutants also associated with acid rain are not themselves acidic.

The problem of acid rain may be said to have originated with the Industrial Revolution, and it has been growing ever since. The severity of its effects has long been recognized in local settings, as exemplified by the spells of acid smog in heavily industrialized areas. The wide destructiveness of acid rain, however, has come to be realized only in recent decades. One large area that has been studied extensively is northern Europe, where acid rain has eroded structures, injured crops and forests, and threatened or depleted life in freshwater lakes. In 1983, for example, published reports indicated that 34 percent of the forested areas of West Germany had been damaged by acid rain. The northeastern U.S. and eastern Canada have also been affected by this form. of pollution, and other areas of the two countries are also showing increasing signs of damages, as are other regions of the world.

Industrial emissions have been blamed as the major cause of acid rain. Because the chemical reactions involved in the production of acid rain in the atmosphere are complex and as yet little understood, industries have tended to challenge such assessments and to stress the need for further studies; and because of the cost of pollution reduction, governments have tended to support this attitude. Studies released by the U.S. government in the early 1980s, however, strongly implicated industries as the main source of acid rain.

大贡献，这是我们党必须勇敢担负起来的历史任务。完成这个任务，必须紧紧依靠全党和全国各族人民的团结。

团结就是力量，团结就是胜利。我们党和我国人民经历了艰难曲折，积累了丰富经验，愈益成熟起来。面对很不安宁的世界，面对艰巨繁重的任务，全党同志一定要增强忧患意识，居安思危，清醒地看到日趋激烈的国际竞争带来的严峻挑战，清醒地看到前进道路上的困难和风险，倍加顾全大局，倍加珍视团结，倍加维护稳定。

全党同志和全国各族人民，紧密团结在党中央周围，万众一心，奋发图强，把中国特色社会主义事业不断推向前进，共同创造我们的幸福生活和美好未来!
