No hassle.Easy.Simple. I was informed.; [02:17.39]I went in. I was an informed buyer.It's not that none of these things is happening.; [02:25.57]It's the importance of these things compared to; [02:29.24]what we have been used to for the last 200 years.; [02:33.71]Thanks to technology something very important is happening to the US economy.; [02:40.13]Indeed, something new and different is happening around us.; [02:45.41]We are able to grow faster without triggering inflation; [02:49.71]than we thought possible. Of course, there's the down side.; [02:54.10]The new economy does not mean we will never have another recession; [02:58.88]or even a deflationary spiral. It does not mean inflation is dead.; [03:04.82]It does not mean stock prices will stay at their lofty levels; [03:09.21]or that there will never be another bear market.; [03:12.46]Nobody is promising you a rose garden. I anticipate dislocation,; [03:18.62]volatility and uncertainty accompanying the emergence; [03:23.57]of the new information economy. But because of what I view as higher productivity,; [03:30.07]I see the possibility of sustained economic growth without the threat of inflation,; [03:36.00]more jobs and higher wages.The emergence of electronic business has created enormous; [03:44.34]and exciting challenges for business managers.; [03:47.67]Internet commerce immediately opens global and more efficient markets.; [03:53.71]I woutd challenge many people to tell me; [03:56.90]where it has not brought about greater efficiency in markets.; [04:01.40]We as consumers have benefited from that.; [04:05.19]Of course, there are companies that have been hurt by that,; [04:08.99]which is the other side of the story.; [04:11.41]In any case, the Internet will transform the way companies do business.; [04:16.99]And those companies that do not address that issue will not be the market winners.; [04:24.56]Unit five Conference Address; [04:32.19]Text for Interpretation; [04:37.51]Passage 1 Chinese-English Interpretation Text interpreting; [04:47.78]Listen to the tape and interpret the following passage from Chinese into English:; [04:57.07]各位嘉賓，女士們、先生 們： 初秋時節(jié)的北京，萬木蔥 蘢，金風送爽。; [05:06.77]今天，第二十二屆萬國郵 政聯(lián)盟大會將在這里隆重 開幕。; [05:13.96]這是萬國郵政聯(lián)盟成立一 百二十五年和中國加入萬 國郵政聯(lián)盟八十五年來，;

[07:34.67]郵政發(fā)展水平也不同， 進行改革不可能有一種 統(tǒng)一的模式。各國應根 據(jù)本國的實際情況，; [07:44.84]本著有利于社會需求、 促進社會進步和普遍服 務的目的，積極進行改 革的探索與實踐。; [07:54.15]中國政府歷來重視郵政 事業(yè)的發(fā)展。經(jīng)過新中 國成立五十年特別是改 革開放二十年來銳意進取; [08:05.01]中國郵政事來有了長足 的發(fā)展。一個溝通城鄉(xiāng)、 覆蓋全國、連通世界觀 的郵政體系已經(jīng)形成，;

[10:00.47]Mr. President, ladies and gentlemen,; [10:04.84]Good afternoon, and thank you for inviting me; [10:08.54]to the "International Conference on Leadership."; [10:11.51]I feel privileged to have been asked to be with the people of Tsinghua University; [10:17.59]and address the issue of "The Importance of Working Together".; [10:22.64]It is always a pleasure to be among the best; [10:26.38]and the brightest in an atmosphere of learning.; [10:30.36]The university setting is the best incubator; [10:34.05]that exists for the inception and sharing of ideas.; [10:39.28]The agenda you've set forth here for the next two-and-a-half days; [10:45.07]is one that goes to the heart of what is exciting; [10:48.90]and important to business and industry today.; [10:53.93]I've been asked to share my thoughts with you today about moving from; [10:59.72]"me" thinking to "we" thinking.; [11:03.28]My view is simple: individuals add; team players multiply.; [11:12.12]Tsinghua undergrads are fortunate in that; [11:16.18]more and more your university is encouraging teamwork in your case work,; [11:22.63]stimulating the transition from "me" to "we".; [11:27.84]At Wilson, we, too,are making great strides in breaking down the psychological; [11:35.49]and organizational barriers that result from "me" thinking.; [11:40.45]Even though we have more yet to do,; [11:44.67]we have been reaping exciting rewards by effectively using work teams; [11:50.42]to reengineer processes; [11:52.85]to gain improvements in costs, quality andresponse times.; [11:58.29]More than five years ago,we began gathering the leaders of all Wilson divisions; [12:05.00]together monthly for the purpose of integrating separate efforts of authority,; [12:10.77]sharing best practices and seeking creative ways; [12:15.15]to use our resources cross-functionally.; [12:18.95]Also, we've been using work teams to shorten new product development cycles;; [12:24.98]to implement demand flow manufacturing to shorten deliver cycles to customers; [12:31.19]and reduce inventory; and to encourage innovation in all business processes.; [12:38.63]The cumulative result of these efforts is the healthy; [12:42.26]and sustained business growth in the last five years.; [12:47.31]Our success shows in earnings per share; [12:50.65]that have grown at an average compound annual rate of 24 percent.; [12:56.23]Our operating margins have increased by more than 65 percent.; [13:02.11]We have reduced working capital investments by about 56 percent,; [13:07.77]increased inventory turnover by nearly 43 percent,; [13:12.62]reduced outstanding receivables by over 15 percent,; [13:17.21]and saved $ 150 million in purchasing costs; [13:22.51]via a corporate-wide strategic sourcing initiative.; [13:26.94]These efforts have persuaded fourteen key analysts, who follow the company,; [13:33.11]to recommend that investors buy our stock.; [13:36.85]But, as much as I enjoy talking about Wilson,; [13:40.63]I'm not here to boast about the successes; [13:43.63]that were made possible through teamwork.; [13:46.66]The truth is that while we at Wilson think we are doing unusually well; [13:52.96]with what we are doing how we are doing it is not unusual in the business; [13:58.97]and manufacturing industries today.; [14:02.71]Increasingly, U.S. companies are becoming relationship-focused.; [14:09.34]We seek to be customer-driven. We want to partner with suppliers.; [14:16.64]We are moving from a manufacturing economy to a value-added,; [14:21.75]service-oriented economy. And at the heart of service are relationships:; [14:29.08]interpersonal relationships, intergroup relationships,; [14:33.67]and interdepartmental relationships.; [14:37.84]The ascendance of work teams in large U.S. organizations puts a new premium; [14:44.10]on the relationship of team members.; [14:47.20]In fact, emphasis on teamwork; [14:50.29]has long become the most frequently valued managerial competence; [14:55.36]in studies of organizations around the world.; [14:58.88]About half the Fortune 500 companies say they are using self-managed work teams; [15:05.92]and expect to expand their use in coming years.; [15:10.35]Teamwork,for many of us,; [15:13.79]is a big switch from how we're accustomed to functioning.; [15:18.18]And that's especially true for those of you at the beginning of your careers.; [15:24.61]Some people never get out of the individual contributor mode; [15:29.62]because they have limited expertise with the interpersonal skills required; [15:35.08]for team-building. But the highly-effective people of success; [15:40.35]are those who move from child-like dependence to independence,; [15:45.86]and then onto interdependence, or win-win, "we" thinking.; [15:52.57]Teamwork really builds.If there's no trust and honesty among employees; [15:59.46]and everyone is maneuvering based on what it might do for their own careers,; [16:04.57]you're not going to accomplish much.; [16:07.50]An old Oriental proverb; [16:10.26]that "people with one mind will remove Mount Tai"is true.; [16:16.25]Another way is to consider this: individuals add; team players multiply.; [16:24.86]Of course,as the whole is never the sum of its parts, it may be greater or lesser,; [16:31.93]depending on how well the individuals work together.; [16:36.84]A good team leader is one who can create group synergy; [16:41.22]in order to pursue collective goals.; [16:45.04]If you're going to be a good boss, make sure that you support people around you; [16:50.88]and keep the group working well.; [16:53.63]That's an important lesson I learned from one of my former chief executive officers,; [16:59.71]who held me accountable for my beliefs—in fact,; [17:04.28]there were times he held my feet to the fire —; [17:07.50]but he never held a grudge against me for believing in something different from him.; [17:13.68]You're never too old to learn something new.; [17:17.79]There's plenty of research; [17:19.72]that proves that emotional intelligence skills can be learned, honed,; [17:24.83]and enjoyed at any stage in life.; [17:28.31]It's called the "acquisition of wisdom", and it's a lifetime project.; [17:34.67]Remember this: individuals add; team players multiply.; [17:41.51]Thank you and good luck.;

[18:16.78]我感謝布羅斯校長的邀 請，使我有機會來到久 負盛名的劍橋大學訪問。; [18:23.23]能夠與青年朋友們聚集 一堂，共同討論人類如 何在新世紀里迎接挑戰(zhàn)、; [18:30.31]共同創(chuàng)造更加美好的未 來，我感到很高興。; [18:34.23]劍橋大學是具有七百年歷 史的世界著名學府，曾經(jīng) 培養(yǎng)出牛頓、培根、彌爾 頓、拜倫、; [18:43.63]達爾文等對人類進步事業(yè) 作出杰出貢獻的偉大科學 家、思想家和詩人。; [18:50.75]今天，劍橋大學作為獲得 諾貝爾獎學者最多的大 學，在世界高等學府中依 然居于顯要的地位。; [19:00.61]劍橋大學與中國交往的歷 史，始于一百多年前。 那時劍橋大學開設了漢語 課程。; [19:09.51]貴校已故的李約瑟博士中 國學術(shù)界享有很高的聲 名。他傾注畢生心血撰寫 的《中國科學技術(shù)史》，; [19:19.37]是一部研究中國古代科學 技術(shù)和文明成就的鴻篇巨 制。; [19:24.97]一百年來，許多中國學者 不遠萬里到劍橋求學訪問 中國杰出的數(shù)學家華羅庚 就是其中最著名的代表。; [19:36.51]今天，中國學術(shù)界和劍橋 大學繼續(xù)保持著良好的交 流與合作。; [19:42.96]這對加強中英人民的文化 交流和友誼，推進科技和 思想進步產(chǎn)生了積極的作 用和影響。; [19:51.42]20世紀，人類創(chuàng)造的物質(zhì) 文明和精神財富，超過了 以往任何一個時代。; [19:59.60]令人遺憾的是，人類在這 一百年中也經(jīng)歷了前所未 有的苦難，特別遭受了 兩次世界大戰(zhàn)的浩劫。; [20:09.66]但是世界的歷史從來是由 世界人民創(chuàng)造和書寫的， 因而正義戰(zhàn)勝邪惡，光明 總會戰(zhàn)勝黑暗，; [20:21.13]進步總會戰(zhàn)勝落后，人類 必然會不斷地克服艱難險 阻，向著美好的未來開拓 前進。; [20:31.59]在21世紀，世界人民雖然 仍然面臨著許多嚴峻的挑 戰(zhàn),可以肯定地說,人類也 面臨著巨大的發(fā)展機遇.; [20:42.84]只要世界人民同心協(xié)力， 形成戰(zhàn)勝一切挑戰(zhàn)的巨大 力量,人類文明進步的航 船就必將乘風破浪地前進; [20:54.17]世界是豐富多彩的。各國 人民走過了不同的歷史發(fā) 展道路，有著不同的文化 背景、; [21:02.59]社會制度和價值觀念， 延續(xù)著不同的生活方式。 這種多樣性正是世界充滿 競賽、; [21:11.46]活力和創(chuàng)新的根本原因， 各國之間應該加強交流和 了解，在相互尊重和平等 相待的基礎上。; [21:23.22]而不應讓這種多樣性成為 阻礙各國人民攜手共進的 隔閡，更不應人為地從中 挑起對立和沖突。; [21:32.80]尊重和發(fā)展世界文明的多 樣性，并在這種多樣性中 找到共同利益之所在，; [21:39.32]是人類社會向前發(fā)民兵的 偉大動力。; [21:42.92]兩千五百五十年前誕生的 中國古代杰出的教育家、 思想家孔子說過：“逝者 如斯夫!不舍晝夜。”; [21:53.83]時光流逝不可逆轉(zhuǎn)。人類 美好的未來要靠一代代年 輕人去創(chuàng)造。; [22:01.59]我希望中英兩國青年順應 時代的要求和世界發(fā)展的 潮流，刻苦學習，知難而 進，為建設自己的國家，; [22:11.26]為維護世界和平、促進人 類進步事業(yè)作出應有的貢 獻。謝謝各位。; [22:19.76]Passage 2 English-Chinese Interpretation; [22:27.63]Listen to the tape and interpret the following passage from English into Chinese:; [22:37.14]Mr. Chairman, ladies and gentlemen,; [22:41.60]It is a privilege to participate in this conference.; [22:46.26]I have been asked this morning to share a few thoughts; [22:50.06]on the state of the pharmaceutical industry,; [22:53.28]and that's a pretty daunting task when you think about it.; [22:57.93]In an industry that is so fragmented,; [23:00.97]there is obviously likely to be fragmented opinion; [23:04.91]on how the industry is doing.; [23:08.19]So I'm not going to spend that much time today; [23:12.28]discussing the current state of the industry.; [23:15.29]Instead, what I'd like to do is focus on how Merck is doing.; [23:20.67]Specifically, I will describe how Merck is pursuing a growth strategy; [23:27.06]that is grounded in the belief that innovation is the key to global success.; [23:34.07]We—leaders in industry academia and government — operate; [23:40.57]in a dynamic environment that is growing more complex and competitive.; [23:46.82]And this is particularly true in the pharmaceutical industry,; [23:51.63]which faces increasing globalization, competition; [23:56.40]and rapid advances in science and technology.; [24:00.37]Within this environment, we make decisions; [24:04.68]that affect not only the men and women who work for us and with us,; [24:09.56]but also those who rely on our medicines and services worldwide.; [24:15.50]To succeed, we need a winning strategy that will make us unique and set us apart,; [24:23.94]and one that will give us a clear competitive advantage.; [24:28.23]At Merck, we believe that a commitment to innovation is important; [24:34.46]for global success today. Innovation as a strategy can be high risk.; [24:41.81]But as a means to grow and compete in today's global economy, innovation offers,; [24:49.19]I believe, the highest return. Because Merck is a research-based pharmaceutical company; [24:58.84]it should come as no surprise; [25:01.44]that innovation plays a central role in our strategy for growth.; [25:07.12]Our strategy is to discover truly innovative medicines; [25:13.31]through breakthrough research that are unique-in-class; [25:17.90]and have proven health outcomes.; [25:20.79]We focus on medicines for diseases with large patient populations worldwide,; [25:27.89]taking advantage of new knowledge about pathways of disease,; [25:33.40]and using that new knowledge to come up with a novel drug.; [25:38.56]And we look for drugs that are highly potent and highly specific and that are oral; [25:46.58]and once-a-day — and therefore easy to use.; [25:51.48]Innovation has been the hallmark of Merck's success in the past, and we know; [25:57.95]that it will continue to be the driving force behind our success in the future.; [26:03.63]Speaking more generally, innovation has emerged as a theme for the new century.; [26:11.09]Innovation is now driving the growth of the whole business; [26:15.95]and manufacturing industry as companies realize; [26:20.25]they must innovate to remain competitive in today's global market.; [26:25.55]In the last century companies sought to s trengthen their competitiveness; [26:31.35]by increasing productivity.; [26:33.78]Today, in addition to improving the bottom line through increases in productivity,; [26:40.82]companies are aiming to grow the top line through investment in innovation.; [26:47.32]Also, governments all over the world are beginning; [26:52.33]to realize the value of innovation to the overall economic health; [26:57.09]and well-being of their nations.; [27:00.23]Innovation is indispensable to the progress of a nation.; [27:05.67]Just as your president Mr. Jiang Zemin said, innovation is the soul of a nation's progress; [27:13.88]The economic prosperity the United States enjoys today,; [27:19.73]despite the financial turmoil in the global market,; [27:23.82]shows that we are reaping the benefits of innovation.; [27:28.05]And I believe there is no better case study of the importance; [27:33.35]and value of innovation than the pharmaceutical industry.; [27:38.93]Pharmaceutical innovation holds the greatest promise for providing long-term,; [27:45.10]sustainable solutions to our current and future health care challenges worldwide.; [27:51.72]Medicines not only offer hope to patients and their families,; [27:57.31]but also can be cost-effective alternatives to other forms of care,; [28:02.36]such as surgery and hospitalization.; [28:06.04]Merck has discovered more important new medicines; [28:09.93]than any other research organization in the world.; [28:13.86]In the past three years, we have introduced 12 new medicines and vaccines; [28:20.03]— more than in any similar period in our history.; [28:24.17]Of those 12, we introduced five in just the past nine months.; [28:30.67]Last year, we strengthened our commitment to innovation; [28:35.04]by doubling the rate of increase of spending for basic and applied research,; [28:40.19]compared to the rate in the year before.; [28:43.35]Clearly,innovation not only is driving growth at Merck,; [28:48.59]but also is benefiting millions of people worldwide.; [28:52.92]For patients, innovation by Merck has meant new medicines for HIV/AIDS; [28:59.83]osteoporosis, asthma, migraine and cardiovascular disease.; [29:06.65]For investors, it has translated into strong earnings growth; [29:11.76]and stock price appreciation. And for our employees,; [29:16.75]it has brought meaningful work and advancement opportunities.; [29:21.77]As Merck expands into new therapeutic areas and parts of the world,; [29:28.22]as we become even larger,; [29:30.70]more complex and more geographically dispersed,; [29:34.87]we'll continue to face new difficulties and competitive scientific challenges.; [29:42.02]The key to overcoming those challenges and the key to our success is constant innovation; [29:49.79]It is what we believe sets us apart and creates a true competitive advantage.; [29:56.73]The firm commitment to innovation defines the type of leadership; [30:01.98]we need at Merck to succeed in the 21st century.

[41:48.51]London is the capital of the United Kingdom and chief city of the British Commonwealth.; [41:55.73]With a population of about 7 million and an area of 1,580 sq km,; [42:03.97]this vast metropolis is by far the largest city in Europe,; [42:09.07]a distinction it has maintained since the 17th century.; [42:14.13]In the 19th century it was the largest and most influential city in the world,; [42:19.88]the center of a large and prosperous overseas empire.; [42:23.94]Although it no longer ranks among the world's most populous cities,; [42:29.41]London is still one of the world's major financial and cultural capitals.; [42:35.51]By European standards, London is physically spread out and dispersed,; [42:41.45]without a predominant focal point.; [42:44.11]London's metropolitan area is divided into 32 boroughs and the City of London.; [42:51.72]At the core of this immense urban area is Central London,; [42:56.61]which includes the City of London, the City of Westminster,; [43:00.72]and districts in the West End.; [43:03.49]The City of London is the traditional heart of the city; [43:07.59]and stands as its own political unit.; [43:10.62]The City of Westminster is the seat of the national government.; [43:15.61]Much of the outer portion of this huge conglomeration of people; [43:20.26]and activities is made up of low-rise residential development.; [43:25.17]The historical center of London is now a relatively small area still known; [43:30.66]as the City, which covers only about 2.6 sq km.; [43:37.21]This is where London began as a Roman colonial town around AD 50.; [43:43.37]Today this area is one of the world's leading financial centers.; [43:48.97]The permanent residential population of the City is now less than 6,000,; [43:54.79]but about 350,000 commute here daily to work.; [43:59.57]The most prominent landmark of the City is Saint Paul's Cathedral.; [44:04.71]The City of Westminster, about two miles from the City of London,; [44:09.25]emerged as England's political; [44:11.56]and religious center of power after the 11th century.; [44:15.61]At the heart of Westminster is Westminster Abbey,; [44:19.67]which has always been closely associated with the monarchy; [44:23.33]and is used for such state occasions as coronations and royal funerals.; [44:29.05]Virtually across the street are the Houses of Parliament,; [44:32.69]officially called the New Palace of Westminster.; [44:36.71]Farther west is the monarch's permanent residence in London, Buckingham Palace.; [44:43.45]To the west and north of London's Trafalgar Square is the West End,; [44:49.08]which is usually regarded as the center of town because it is London's shopping; [44:54.35]and entertainment hub. The busiest shopping area is Oxford Street,; [44:59.80]where famous large department stores are located.; [45:03.67]Scattered throughout the Soho and Covent Garden sections are foreign restaurants; [45:09.20]and entertainment attractions, including the Royal Opera House; [45:13.27]and most of London's major theaters and movie houses.; [45:17.18]In the northern part of the West End is Bloomsbury,; [45:21.27]the city's traditional intellectual center, with its concentration of bookshops; [45:26.52]and homes of writers and academics.; [45:29.29]Here, too, are the British Museum and the giant complex of the University of London.; [45:35.69]The East End of London, in strong contrast to the prosperous West End,; [45:40.64]has frequently been characterized by slums, poverty, and crime.; [45:46.06]The East End grew with the spread of industries to the east of the City.; [45:50.84]It is especially famous as the centre of the clothing industry in London.; [45:56.10]Petticoat market takes place every Sunday morning; [45:59.94]and has become one of the beautiful sights of London.; [46:04.03]London is one of the world's great centers for classical and popular culture.;

[46:24.66]The sheer number of symphony orchestras is impressive; [46:28.40]and includes the London Symphony Orchestra,; [46:31.62]the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and the English Chamber Orchestra.; [46:36.50]Some of the most well-known concert halls in the world,; [46:40.22]such as the Royal Festival Hall,; [46:42.41]provide favorable venues for the cornucopia of performances in London; [46:48.65]London itself is a living museum, with more than 2000 years of history and culture; [46:56.37]But it also boasts one of the greatest concentrations; [47:00.26]of significant museums (more than 100) of any city in the world.; [47:06.14]The jewel in this cultural crown is the British Museum,; [47:10.27]with 4 km of galleries and more than 4 million exhibits.; [47:15.53]The Victoria and Albert Museum displays an important; [47:20.04]and varied collection of applied arts.; [47:23.31]Across the street are the Natural History Museum with its dinosaurs,; [47:28.95]and the Science Museum,; [47:30.57]which includes a renowned section on the history of medicine.; [47:35.46]The Museum of London effectively introduces visitors to London's history; [47:40.76]by walking them through successive eras chronologically.; [47:44.86]London is a major repository of the greatest Western art; [47:49.10]and a creative center for contemporary artists.; [47:52.84]The National Gallery on Trafalgar Square contains Britain's premier art collection; [47:58.36]with holdings from every major European art school.; [48:02.40]Next door is the National Portrait Gallery,; [48:05.79]with thousands of striking portraits of Britons.; [48:09.43]The Tate Gallery contains the principal collection of British art; [48:14.03]and modern international art.; [48:16.56]What Londoners do for a living has changed considerably since the city was a commercial; [48:22.25]and industrial center in the 19th century.; [48:25.31]Manufacturing has steadily declined; [48:27.85]and today accounts for less than 10 percent of total employment.; [48:32.52]The printing and publishing industry is now a leading employer.; [48:36.95]Far more important is the services sector,; [48:40.28]which employs 85 percent of London's workforce.; [48:44.12]This is led by financial and business services.; [48:48.17]Tourism is another important part of the services sector.; [48:52.66]London attracts more than 24 million visitors annually ,; [48:57.36]more than half of them from outside the country.; [49:00.27]Serving tourists is thought to employ at least 300,000 Londoners.; [49:06.91]Although London has suffered some growing pains through its history,; [49:11.19]we have reasons to be optimistic about its future.; [49:14.76]We're positive that this old city will continue; [49:17.96]to be one of the world's great cities in a new spirit of youthful enthusiasm.;

I was an informed buyer.It's not that none of these things is happening.; [02:25.57]It's the importance of these things compared to; [02:29.24]what we have been used to for the last 200 years.; [02:33.71]Thanks to technology something very important is happening to the US economy.; [02:40.13]Indeed, something new and different is happening around us.; [02:45.41]We are able to grow faster without triggering inflation; [02:49.71]than we thought possible. Of course, there's the down side.; [02:54.10]The new economy does not mean we will never have another recession; [02:58.88]or even a deflationary spiral. It does not mean inflation is dead.; [03:04.82]It does not mean stock prices will stay at their lofty levels; [03:09.21]or that there will never be another bear market.; [03:12.46]Nobody is promising you a rose garden. I anticipate dislocation,; [03:18.62]volatility and uncertainty accompanying the emergence; [03:23.57]of the new information economy. But because of what I view as higher productivity,; [03:30.07]I see the possibility of sustained economic growth without the threat of inflation,; [03:36.00]more jobs and higher wages.The emergence of electronic business has created enormous; [03:44.34]and exciting challenges for business managers.; [03:47.67]Internet commerce immediately opens global and more efficient markets.; [03:53.71]I woutd challenge many people to tell me; [03:56.90]where it has not brought about greater efficiency in markets.; [04:01.40]We as consumers have benefited from that.; [04:05.19]Of course, there are companies that have been hurt by that,; [04:08.99]which is the other side of the story.; [04:11.41]In any case, the Internet will transform the way companies do business.; [04:16.99]And those companies that do not address that issue will not be the market winners.; [04:24.56]Unit five Conference Address; [04:32.19]Text for Interpretation; [04:37.51]Passage 1 Chinese-English Interpretation Text interpreting; [04:47.78]Listen to the tape and interpret the following passage from Chinese into English:; [04:57.07]各位嘉賓，女士們、先生 們： 初秋時節(jié)的北京，萬木蔥 蘢，金風送爽。; [05:06.77]今天，第二十二屆萬國郵 政聯(lián)盟大會將在這里隆重 開幕。; [05:13.96]這是萬國郵政聯(lián)盟成立一 百二十五年和中國加入萬 國郵政聯(lián)盟八十五年來，; [05:21.83]首次在中國舉行這樣的 在大會。 我代表中國政府和中國人 民，并以我個人的名義，; [05:30.73]向大會致以衷心的祝賀! 向與會的各國代表和來 賓表示誠摯的歡迎。; [05:39.30]在人類進入21世紀這樣 的時刻，大家共同討論面 向新世紀的郵政發(fā)展戰(zhàn)略 和行動綱領(lǐng)，; [05:49.64]其意義十分重要。 我相信，這次大會將在 國際郵政史上留下光輝 的一頁。; [05:59.09]現(xiàn)代科學技術(shù)正在突飛 猛進，世界多極化和經(jīng) 濟全球化的趨勢繼續(xù)發(fā) 展，; [06:08.14]人類社會的進步正處在 重要的歷史關(guān)頭。各國 都面臨著機遇和挑戰(zhàn)。; [06:16.82]和平與發(fā)展仍然是我們 這個時代潮流。 實現(xiàn)世界的持久和來與 普遍繁榮，; [06:27.24]需要各國人民共同努力。 郵政應成為致力于世界 和平與發(fā)展的崇高事業(yè) 的一支重要力量，; [06:37.08]在推動建立公正合理的 國際新秩序中發(fā)展積極 的作用。; [06:42.50]郵政活動深入千家萬戶， 通達五洲四海，對促進 人類社會的政治、經(jīng)濟、; [06:50.57]科技、文化、教育等事 業(yè)的發(fā)展，具有重要的 作用。日新月異的現(xiàn)代 信息技術(shù)，; [06:59.91]給國際郵政事業(yè)的發(fā)展 注入了新的活力。郵政 的信息傳遞、物品運送、 資金流通三項基本功能，; [07:09.13]其內(nèi)涵正在日新月異地 豐富和拓寬。郵政事業(yè) 有著廣闊的發(fā)展前景。; [07:17.88]郵政事業(yè)要適應當今經(jīng) 濟發(fā)展和社會進步的新 形態(tài)，發(fā)揮更大的作用，; [07:25.36]必須進行體制改革和技 術(shù)創(chuàng)新。各國的經(jīng)濟發(fā) 展水平、歷史文化傳統(tǒng) 和社會制度不同，; [07:34.67]郵政發(fā)展水平也不同， 進行改革不可能有一種 統(tǒng)一的模式。各國應根 據(jù)本國的實際情況，; [07:44.84]本著有利于社會需求、 促進社會進步和普遍服 務的目的，積極進行改 革的探索與實踐。; [07:54.15]中國政府歷來重視郵政 事業(yè)的發(fā)展。經(jīng)過新中 國成立五十年特別是改 革開放二十年來銳意進取; [08:05.01]中國郵政事來有了長足 的發(fā)展。一個溝通城鄉(xiāng)、 覆蓋全國、連通世界觀 的郵政體系已經(jīng)形成，;

[10:00.47]Mr. President, ladies and gentlemen,; [10:04.84]Good afternoon, and thank you for inviting me; [10:08.54]to the "International Conference on Leadership."; [10:11.51]I feel privileged to have been asked to be with the people of Tsinghua University; [10:17.59]and address the issue of "The Importance of Working Together".; [10:22.64]It is always a pleasure to be among the best; [10:26.38]and the brightest in an atmosphere of learning.; [10:30.36]The university setting is the best incubator; [10:34.05]that exists for the inception and sharing of ideas.; [10:39.28]The agenda you've set forth here for the next two-and-a-half days; [10:45.07]is one that goes to the heart of what is exciting; [10:48.90]and important to business and industry today.; [10:53.93]I've been asked to share my thoughts with you today about moving from; [10:59.72]"me" thinking to "we" thinking.; [11:03.28]My view is simple: individuals add; team players multiply.; [11:12.12]Tsinghua undergrads are fortunate in that; [11:16.18]more and more your university is encouraging teamwork in your case work,; [11:22.63]stimulating the transition from "me" to "we".; [11:27.84]At Wilson, we, too,are making great strides in breaking down the psychological; [11:35.49]and organizational barriers that result from "me" thinking.; [11:40.45]Even though we have more yet to do,; [11:44.67]we have been reaping exciting rewards by effectively using work teams; [11:50.42]to reengineer processes; [11:52.85]to gain improvements in costs, quality andresponse times.; [11:58.29]More than five years ago,we began gathering the leaders of all Wilson divisions; [12:05.00]together monthly for the purpose of integrating separate efforts of authority,; [12:10.77]sharing best practices and seeking creative ways; [12:15.15]to use our resources cross-functionally.; [12:18.95]Also, we've been using work teams to shorten new product development cycles;; [12:24.98]to implement demand flow manufacturing to shorten deliver cycles to customers; [12:31.19]and reduce inventory; and to encourage innovation in all business processes.; [12:38.63]The cumulative result of these efforts is the healthy; [12:42.26]and sustained business growth in the last five years.; [12:47.31]Our success shows in earnings per share; [12:50.65]that have grown at an average compound annual rate of 24 percent.; [12:56.23]Our operating margins have increased by more than 65 percent.; [13:02.11]We have reduced working capital investments by about 56 percent,; [13:07.77]increased inventory turnover by nearly 43 percent,; [13:12.62]reduced outstanding receivables by over 15 percent,; [13:17.21]and saved $ 150 million in purchasing costs; [13:22.51]via a corporate-wide strategic sourcing initiative.; [13:26.94]These efforts have persuaded fourteen key analysts, who follow the company,; [13:33.11]to recommend that investors buy our stock.; [13:36.85]But, as much as I enjoy talking about Wilson,; [13:40.63]I'm not here to boast about the successes; [13:43.63]that were made possible through teamwork.; [13:46.66]The truth is that while we at Wilson think we are doing unusually well; [13:52.96]with what we are doing how we are doing it is not unusual in the business; [13:58.97]and manufacturing industries today.; [14:02.71]Increasingly, U.S. companies are becoming relationship-focused.; [14:09.34]We seek to be customer-driven. We want to partner with suppliers.; [14:16.64]We are moving from a manufacturing economy to a value-added,; [14:21.75]service-oriented economy. And at the heart of service are relationships:; [14:29.08]interpersonal relationships, intergroup relationships,; [14:33.67]and interdepartmental relationships.; [14:37.84]The ascendance of work teams in large U.S. organizations puts a new premium; [14:44.10]on the relationship of team members.; [14:47.20]In fact, emphasis on teamwork; [14:50.29]has long become the most frequently valued managerial competence; [14:55.36]in studies of organizations around the world.; [14:58.88]About half the Fortune 500 companies say they are using self-managed work teams; [15:05.92]and expect to expand their use in coming years.; [15:10.35]Teamwork,for many of us,; [15:13.79]is a big switch from how we're accustomed to functioning.; [15:18.18]And that's especially true for those of you at the beginning of your careers.; [15:24.61]Some people never get out of the individual contributor mode; [15:29.62]because they have limited expertise with the interpersonal skills required; [15:35.08]for team-building. But the highly-effective people of success; [15:40.35]are those who move from child-like dependence to independence,; [15:45.86]and then onto interdependence, or win-win, "we" thinking.; [15:52.57]Teamwork really builds.If there's no trust and honesty among employees; [15:59.46]and everyone is maneuvering based on what it might do for their own careers,; [16:04.57]you're not going to accomplish much.; [16:07.50]An old Oriental proverb; [16:10.26]that "people with one mind will remove Mount Tai"is true.; [16:16.25]Another way is to consider this: individuals add; team players multiply.; [16:24.86]Of course,as the whole is never the sum of its parts, it may be greater or lesser,; [16:31.93]depending on how well the individuals work together.; [16:36.84]A good team leader is one who can create group synergy; [16:41.22]in order to pursue collective goals.; [16:45.04]If you're going to be a good boss, make sure that you support people around you; [16:50.88]and keep the group working well.; [16:53.63]That's an important lesson I learned from one of my former chief executive officers,; [16:59.71]who held me accountable for my beliefs—in fact,; [17:04.28]there were times he held my feet to the fire —; [17:07.50]but he never held a grudge against me for believing in something different from him.; [17:13.68]You're never too old to learn something new.; [17:17.79]There's plenty of research; [17:19.72]that proves that emotional intelligence skills can be learned, honed,; [17:24.83]and enjoyed at any stage in life.; [17:28.31]It's called the "acquisition of wisdom", and it's a lifetime project.; [17:34.67]Remember this: individuals add; team players multiply.; [17:41.51]Thank you and good luck.;

[18:16.78]我感謝布羅斯校長的邀 請，使我有機會來到久 負盛名的劍橋大學訪問。; [18:23.23]能夠與青年朋友們聚集 一堂，共同討論人類如 何在新世紀里迎接挑戰(zhàn)、; [18:30.31]共同創(chuàng)造更加美好的未 來，我感到很高興。; [18:34.23]劍橋大學是具有七百年歷 史的世界著名學府，曾經(jīng) 培養(yǎng)出牛頓、培根、彌爾 頓、拜倫、; [18:43.63]達爾文等對人類進步事業(yè) 作出杰出貢獻的偉大科學 家、思想家和詩人。; [18:50.75]今天，劍橋大學作為獲得 諾貝爾獎學者最多的大 學，在世界高等學府中依 然居于顯要的地位。; [19:00.61]劍橋大學與中國交往的歷 史，始于一百多年前。 那時劍橋大學開設了漢語 課程。; [19:09.51]貴校已故的李約瑟博士中 國學術(shù)界享有很高的聲 名。他傾注畢生心血撰寫 的《中國科學技術(shù)史》，; [19:19.37]是一部研究中國古代科學 技術(shù)和文明成就的鴻篇巨 制。; [19:24.97]一百年來，許多中國學者 不遠萬里到劍橋求學訪問 中國杰出的數(shù)學家華羅庚 就是其中最著名的代表。; [19:36.51]今天，中國學術(shù)界和劍橋 大學繼續(xù)保持著良好的交 流與合作。; [19:42.96]這對加強中英人民的文化 交流和友誼，推進科技和 思想進步產(chǎn)生了積極的作 用和影響。; [19:51.42]20世紀，人類創(chuàng)造的物質(zhì) 文明和精神財富，超過了 以往任何一個時代。; [19:59.60]令人遺憾的是，人類在這 一百年中也經(jīng)歷了前所未 有的苦難，特別遭受了 兩次世界大戰(zhàn)的浩劫。; [20:09.66]但是世界的歷史從來是由 世界人民創(chuàng)造和書寫的， 因而正義戰(zhàn)勝邪惡，光明 總會戰(zhàn)勝黑暗，; [20:21.13]進步總會戰(zhàn)勝落后，人類 必然會不斷地克服艱難險 阻，向著美好的未來開拓 前進。; [20:31.59]在21世紀，世界人民雖然 仍然面臨著許多嚴峻的挑 戰(zhàn),可以肯定地說,人類也 面臨著巨大的發(fā)展機遇.; [20:42.84]只要世界人民同心協(xié)力， 形成戰(zhàn)勝一切挑戰(zhàn)的巨大 力量,人類文明進步的航 船就必將乘風破浪地前進; [20:54.17]世界是豐富多彩的。各國 人民走過了不同的歷史發(fā) 展道路，有著不同的文化 背景、; [21:02.59]社會制度和價值觀念， 延續(xù)著不同的生活方式。 這種多樣性正是世界充滿 競賽、; [21:11.46]活力和創(chuàng)新的根本原因， 各國之間應該加強交流和 了解，在相互尊重和平等 相待的基礎上。; [21:23.22]而不應讓這種多樣性成為 阻礙各國人民攜手共進的 隔閡，更不應人為地從中 挑起對立和沖突。; [21:32.80]尊重和發(fā)展世界文明的多 樣性，并在這種多樣性中 找到共同利益之所在，; [21:39.32]是人類社會向前發(fā)民兵的 偉大動力。; [21:42.92]兩千五百五十年前誕生的 中國古代杰出的教育家、 思想家孔子說過：“逝者 如斯夫!不舍晝夜。”; [21:53.83]時光流逝不可逆轉(zhuǎn)。人類 美好的未來要靠一代代年 輕人去創(chuàng)造。; [22:01.59]我希望中英兩國青年順應 時代的要求和世界發(fā)展的 潮流，刻苦學習，知難而 進，為建設自己的國家，; [22:11.26]為維護世界和平、促進人 類進步事業(yè)作出應有的貢 獻。謝謝各位。; [22:19.76]Passage 2 English-Chinese Interpretation; [22:27.63]Listen to the tape and interpret the following passage from English into Chinese:; [22:37.14]Mr. Chairman, ladies and gentlemen,; [22:41.60]It is a privilege to participate in this conference.; [22:46.26]I have been asked this morning to share a few thoughts; [22:50.06]on the state of the pharmaceutical industry,; [22:53.28]and that's a pretty daunting task when you think about it.; [22:57.93]In an industry that is so fragmented,; [23:00.97]there is obviously likely to be fragmented opinion; [23:04.91]on how the industry is doing.; [23:08.19]So I'm not going to spend that much time today; [23:12.28]discussing the current state of the industry.; [23:15.29]Instead, what I'd like to do is focus on how Merck is doing.; [23:20.67]Specifically, I will describe how Merck is pursuing a growth strategy; [23:27.06]that is grounded in the belief that innovation is the key to global success.; [23:34.07]We—leaders in industry academia and government — operate; [23:40.57]in a dynamic environment that is growing more complex and competitive.; [23:46.82]And this is particularly true in the pharmaceutical industry,; [23:51.63]which faces increasing globalization, competition; [23:56.40]and rapid advances in science and technology.; [24:00.37]Within this environment, we make decisions; [24:04.68]that affect not only the men and women who work for us and with us,; [24:09.56]but also those who rely on our medicines and services worldwide.; [24:15.50]To succeed, we need a winning strategy that will make us unique and set us apart,; [24:23.94]and one that will give us a clear competitive advantage.; [24:28.23]At Merck, we believe that a commitment to innovation is important; [24:34.46]for global success today. Innovation as a strategy can be high risk.; [24:41.81]But as a means to grow and compete in today's global economy, innovation offers,; [24:49.19]I believe, the highest return. Because Merck is a research-based pharmaceutical company; [24:58.84]it should come as no surprise; [25:01.44]that innovation plays a central role in our strategy for growth.; [25:07.12]Our strategy is to discover truly innovative medicines; [25:13.31]through breakthrough research that are unique-in-class; [25:17.90]and have proven health outcomes.; [25:20.79]We focus on medicines for diseases with large patient populations worldwide,; [25:27.89]taking advantage of new knowledge about pathways of disease,; [25:33.40]and using that new knowledge to come up with a novel drug.; [25:38.56]And we look for drugs that are highly potent and highly specific and that are oral; [25:46.58]and once-a-day — and therefore easy to use.; [25:51.48]Innovation has been the hallmark of Merck's success in the past, and we know; [25:57.95]that it will continue to be the driving force behind our success in the future.; [26:03.63]Speaking more generally, innovation has emerged as a theme for the new century.; [26:11.09]Innovation is now driving the growth of the whole business; [26:15.95]and manufacturing industry as companies realize; [26:20.25]they must innovate to remain competitive in today's global market.; [26:25.55]In the last century companies sought to s trengthen their competitiveness; [26:31.35]by increasing productivity.; [26:33.78]Today, in addition to improving the bottom line through increases in productivity,; [26:40.82]companies are aiming to grow the top line through investment in innovation.; [26:47.32]Also, governments all over the world are beginning; [26:52.33]to realize the value of innovation to the overall economic health; [26:57.09]and well-being of their nations.; [27:00.23]Innovation is indispensable to the progress of a nation.; [27:05.67]Just as your president Mr. Jiang Zemin said, innovation is the soul of a nation's progress; [27:13.88]The economic prosperity the United States enjoys today,; [27:19.73]despite the financial turmoil in the global market,; [27:23.82]shows that we are reaping the benefits of innovation.; [27:28.05]And I believe there is no better case study of the importance; [27:33.35]and value of innovation than the pharmaceutical industry.; [27:38.93]Pharmaceutical innovation holds the greatest promise for providing long-term,; [27:45.10]sustainable solutions to our current and future health care challenges worldwide.; [27:51.72]Medicines not only offer hope to patients and their families,; [27:57.31]but also can be cost-effective alternatives to other forms of care,; [28:02.36]such as surgery and hospitalization.; [28:06.04]Merck has discovered more important new medicines; [28:09.93]than any other research organization in the world.; [28:13.86]In the past three years, we have introduced 12 new medicines and vaccines; [28:20.03]— more than in any similar period in our history.; [28:24.17]Of those 12, we introduced five in just the past nine months.; [28:30.67]Last year, we strengthened our commitment to innovation; [28:35.04]by doubling the rate of increase of spending for basic and applied research,; [28:40.19]compared to the rate in the year before.; [28:43.35]Clearly,innovation not only is driving growth at Merck,; [28:48.59]but also is benefiting millions of people worldwide.; [28:52.92]For patients, innovation by Merck has meant new medicines for HIV/AIDS; [28:59.83]osteoporosis, asthma, migraine and cardiovascular disease.; [29:06.65]For investors, it has translated into strong earnings growth; [29:11.76]and stock price appreciation. And for our employees,; [29:16.75]it has brought meaningful work and advancement opportunities.; [29:21.77]As Merck expands into new therapeutic areas and parts of the world,; [29:28.22]as we become even larger,; [29:30.70]more complex and more geographically dispersed,; [29:34.87]we'll continue to face new difficulties and competitive scientific challenges.; [29:42.02]The key to overcoming those challenges and the key to our success is constant innovation; [29:49.79]It is what we believe sets us apart and creates a true competitive advantage.; [29:56.73]The firm commitment to innovation defines the type of leadership; [30:01.98]we need at Merck to succeed in the 21st century.

[42:09.07]a distinction it has maintained since the 17th century.; [42:14.13]In the 19th century it was the largest and most influential city in the world,; [42:19.88]the center of a large and prosperous overseas empire.; [42:23.94]Although it no longer ranks among the world's most populous cities,; [42:29.41]London is still one of the world's major financial and cultural capitals.; [42:35.51]By European standards, London is physically spread out and dispersed,; [42:41.45]without a predominant focal point.; [42:44.11]London's metropolitan area is divided into 32 boroughs and the City of London.; [42:51.72]At the core of this immense urban area is Central London,; [42:56.61]which includes the City of London, the City of Westminster,; [43:00.72]and districts in the West End.; [43:03.49]The City of London is the traditional heart of the city; [43:07.59]and stands as its own political unit.; [43:10.62]The City of Westminster is the seat of the national government.; [43:15.61]Much of the outer portion of this huge conglomeration of people; [43:20.26]and activities is made up of low-rise residential development.; [43:25.17]The historical center of London is now a relatively small area still known; [43:30.66]as the City, which covers only about 2.6 sq km.; [43:37.21]This is where London began as a Roman colonial town around AD 50.; [43:43.37]Today this area is one of the world's leading financial centers.; [43:48.97]The permanent residential population of the City is now less than 6,000,; [43:54.79]but about 350,000 commute here daily to work.; [43:59.57]The most prominent landmark of the City is Saint Paul's Cathedral.; [44:04.71]The City of Westminster, about two miles from the City of London,; [44:09.25]emerged as England's political; [44:11.56]and religious center of power after the 11th century.;

[44:43.45]To the west and north of London's Trafalgar Square is the West End,; [44:49.08]which is usually regarded as the center of town because it is London's shopping; [44:54.35]and entertainment hub.

[45:26.52]and homes of writers and academics.; [45:29.29]Here, too, are the British Museum and the giant complex of the University of London.; [45:35.69]The East End of London, in strong contrast to the prosperous West End,;

[46:40.22]such as the Royal Festival Hall,; [46:42.41]provide favorable venues for the cornucopia of performances in London; [46:48.65]London itself is a living museum, with more than 2000 years of history and culture; [46:56.37]But it also boasts one of the greatest concentrations; [47:00.26]of significant museums (more than 100) of any city in the world.; [47:06.14]The jewel in this cultural crown is the British Museum,;

[48:14.03]and modern international art.; [48:16.56]What Londoners do for a living has changed considerably since the city was a commercial; [48:22.25]and industrial center in the 19th century.; [48:25.31]Manufacturing has steadily declined; [48:27.85]and today accounts for less than 10 percent of total employment.; [48:32.52]The printing and publishing industry is now a leading employer.; [48:36.95]Far more important is the services sector,; [48:40.28]which employs 85 percent of London's workforce.; [48:44.12]This is led by financial and business services.; [48:48.17]Tourism is another important part of the services sector.; [48:52.66]London attracts more than 24 million visitors annually ,; [48:57.36]more than half of them from outside the country.; [49:00.27]Serving tourists is thought to employ at least 300,000 Londoners.; [49:06.91]Although London has suffered some growing pains through its history,;
