下面是一段关于麦当劳快餐店的对话。
Mike: Let’s go get something to eat. I amstarving.
李：我也有点饿。正好，前面有家麦当劳。
Mike: There is always a McDonald’s up ahead. Everywhere you turnthere is another blasted McDonald’s. They are just too convenient. I am justplain sick of seeing the “Golden Arches” everywhere I turn. Do you know thatthere are over 8,000 McDonald’s restaurants in the U.S. alone and over 11,000franchises worldwide? By the year 2020, everyone will eat at McDonald’s everyday.
李： 反正我爱吃汉堡包。现在全世界好像没有几个地方没有麦当劳，卖出的汉堡包都超过1000亿个了。光中国这几年就建了几百家，小孩都到那儿过生日。当然，也不是每种产品都好吃，可起码都很标准，不管什么时候去吃，汉堡包都是一个样儿。
Mike: Whatever you say. I just don’t think their food is all thatgreat. By the way，doyou know that their spokesman. Ronald McDonald, is now recognized by 96％ of all American children? Theyare the largest minimum-wage employers in America and own more real estate thanany other company on earth. What is more，they say that one of every seven American millionaires got theirstart at McDonald’s.
李：别说了，我都要饿死了。
Mike: But I just lost my appetite.
参考译文
麦克：赶紧找点东西吃，我饿坏了。
Li: I am also quitehungry. Hey. There is a McDonald’s up ahead.
麦克：只要你向前走，总能碰上麦当劳；不管你朝哪看，总能看见一家该死的麦当劳。它们简直也太方便了。无处不在的“金色双拱形”真叫人恶心。你知不知道光美国就有8，000多家麦当劳餐馆，全世界的连锁店超过了11，000家。到2020年，每个人每天都要光顾麦当劳。
Li: I like the burgers anyway. Few places in theworld are McDonald’s-free. They have sold more than 100 billion burgersworldwide. In China alone，several hundred McDonald’s restaurants have been set up in recentyears, and many children prefer to have their birthday-parties there. Of course，not all their food is good，but at least they aleconsistent. One burger is completely like the other no matter when you go.
麦克：随你怎么说，我反正认为那里的饭菜不怎么样。还有，你知不知道美国96％的孩子都认识麦当劳的标志——麦克唐纳大叔?麦当劳是美国最大的最低工资雇主，却拥有比地球上任何公司都多的房地产。更有甚者，据说美国每七个百万富翁中就有一个是从麦当劳起家的。
Li: Give me a break，will you? I am starving.
麦克：可我已经没有胃口了。

Interpret the following passage fromEnglish into Chinese. Start interpreting at the signal and stop at the signal. Youmay take notes while you are listening. You will hear the passage only once. Nowlet’s begin.
下面是一段关于亚洲价值与繁荣的讲话。
Ladies andGentlemen,
What valuesshould we pursue for the prosperity of Asia in the new century? I believe thatthe three values of freedom, diversity and openness are the driving forcesbehind peace and development in Asia.
First, it goeswithout saying that freedom refers to democracy and human rights politically.
Economically, itmeans the development of a market economy.
Politicalfreedom and economic freedom are reinforcing each other in the process of theirdevelopment. With some twists and turns, Asia as a whole has been takingsignificant steps towards freedom over the last half century.
Transition to ademocratic political system has been inevitable, as economic development hascreated the conditions for the emergence of a middle class and civil society. Ibelieve that the historic trends that are apparent in Asia should be a sourceof pride for us all.
Second,development in Asia has occurred against a background of tremendous diversity,where each country has its own distinctive history and social and culturalvalues. Naturally, we thus see differences in the processes and speed ofdevelopment.
While respectingdiversity, however, it is important for us to promote our common interests andour shared goals, recognizing positive influences of each other despitedifferences among countries.
In other words,we must leave behind parochial nationalism and dogmatism, promote mutuallybeneficial cooperation based on equality in order to enjoy common prosperity.This should be our guiding principle.
Third, ourcooperation must not be of an inward-looking, closed nature, but onecharacterized by openness to the world outside Asia.
In a worldeconomy where globalization is advancing and economic integration, such as inEurope and Americas, is proceeding, cooperation both within Asia and between Asia and other regions must be pursued. This cooperation must be based on the principles ofopenness and transparency.
I believe Asia should set an example for the world by seeking regional cooperation that surpassesnational and ethnic distinction.
So, as we pursueprosperity in a free, diverse and open Asia, what are the specific challengesthat we face? I’d like to discuss three challenges. They are reform,cooperation and conveying Asia’s voice to the world.
参考译文
女士们，先生们：
为了本世纪亚洲的繁荣，我们应该追求一些什么样的价值观呢?我认为，自由、多样化和开放是促进亚洲和平和发展的三大价值观。
首先，勿庸置疑的是，自由在政治上是指民主和人权，在经济上是指发展市场经济。
政治自由和经济自由的发展是相辅相成的。过去的半个世纪中尽管经历了种种曲折，亚洲作为一个地区在走向自由方面迈出了很大的步伐。
在经济发展为中产阶级和市民社会的形成创造条件时，向民主政治制度的过渡已势不可挡。我相信，亚洲显现的这一历史潮流是我们大家都引以自豪的。
第二，亚洲发展具有多样化的背景，每一个国家都有自己独特的历史和社会文化价值，所以他们的发展进程和速度是不同的。
然而，在尊重多样化的同时，尽管各国之间存在差异，我们应认识到相互之间的积极影响，重要的是要促进我们的共同利益，向共同目标迈进。
也就是说，我们必须摒弃狭隘的民族主义和教条主义，在平等的基础上推动互利合作，从而达到共同繁荣。这应该成为我们的指导原则。
第三，我们的合作不应是内向型和封闭式的，而应是面向亚洲以外的世界。
当今，在全球化和类似欧洲和美洲的经济一体化的进程中，我们必须推进亚洲国家之间的合作以及亚洲与其它地区的合作。这种合作必须在公开和透明的原则下进行。
我认为，亚洲应该在寻求跨国家和跨民族的区域合作方面为世界树立一个榜样。
当我们为一个自由、多样化和开放的亚洲的繁荣而努力的时候，我们要面对什么样的挑战呢?它们来自三个方面：那就是改革、合作和向世界传达亚洲的声音。
