繽紛中國(guó)

前言

　　數(shù)十年來，隨著中國(guó)改革開放的不斷深入與國(guó)際交流空間的擴(kuò)展，隨著傳播科技的發(fā)展，人們對(duì)媒體的依賴有增無減，媒體對(duì)人和世界的中介作用也愈益為人們所關(guān)注。一方面，中國(guó)人與外國(guó)人交流的機(jī)會(huì)越來越多；另一方面，外國(guó)人對(duì)中國(guó)的關(guān)注也越來越多，興趣也越來越大。在此背景下，中國(guó)英語(yǔ)教學(xué)的“費(fèi)時(shí)低效”，中國(guó)學(xué)生與外國(guó)人交流過程中的言不達(dá)意、無內(nèi)容表達(dá)等現(xiàn)象，也越來越受到外語(yǔ)界的關(guān)注。我們知道，中國(guó)傳統(tǒng)英語(yǔ)教學(xué)內(nèi)容是基礎(chǔ)英語(yǔ)學(xué)習(xí)，強(qiáng)調(diào)對(duì)西方文化的了解；而對(duì)于我們身邊的人、周圍的事卻很少關(guān)注。因此，《繽紛中國(guó)：媒體英語(yǔ)閱讀教程》的推出就是為改變這種現(xiàn)象做出的努力?！　”緯瀼亍耙匀藶楸尽钡睦砟睿瑥闹袊?guó)學(xué)生實(shí)際出發(fā)，從不同方面向中國(guó)學(xué)生介紹當(dāng)代中國(guó)的政治、經(jīng)濟(jì)、社會(huì)發(fā)展、民族風(fēng)情等，展示中國(guó)悠久的歷史文化，尤其是改革開放以來所取得的巨大成就。本書不僅能夠增強(qiáng)中國(guó)學(xué)生的民族自豪感，‘而且有利于中國(guó)學(xué)生在與外國(guó)人進(jìn)行跨文化交際的過程中，學(xué)會(huì)并掌握用地道的英語(yǔ)表達(dá)“中國(guó)的人和事”。因此，這里要強(qiáng)調(diào)的是，本書所使用的“中國(guó)媒體英語(yǔ)”不僅包括中國(guó)媒體上的英語(yǔ)語(yǔ)言材料，還涉及了當(dāng)今各種媒體上關(guān)于中國(guó)的英語(yǔ)語(yǔ)言材料。

章節(jié)摘錄

　　The labs vary in size and ambition, but as they multiply and expand they may help China grow from mostly a user and copier of advanced technologies developed elsewhere into a powerful incubator of its own, industry executives and experts say. And the shift may eventually reshape applied research, jobs and policies in the United States and other developed countries.　　But it is far from certain that China will reap the full rewards of this flowering. Planting and nurturing corporate labs is a delicate business, and in China they are buffeted by concerns about protecting patents, retaining and gaining researchers, and managing the distances—— physical and cultural——between here and headquarters.　　When Microsoft opened its Beijing lab in late 1998, it was among the first multinationals to establish a large research center in China. It hoped investing in research here would help pry open the door to two dazzling prizes: Chinas large reservoir of skilled but inexpensive scientists, and its consumers, still relatively poor but growing richer and eager for new technology.　　After considering several sites in Asia, Microsoft settled on the Haidian District, home to some 40 universities, 138 scientific institutes and many of Chinas 810,000 research scientists and engineers.　　Microsoft, like other companies setting up research facilities here, was able to lure scientists from government-run labs, which do not pay as well and often are not working on cutting.edge developments.　　When the Microsoft lab first announced openings for 50 positions, it was deluged with tens of thousands of applications. It is no surprise that Microsoft Research Asia has such popular appeal. It is one of the few labs here spared the pressure of developing products for direct application; its researchers, like those in Microsofts labs in Redmond, San Francisco and Cambridge in Britain, are given leeway to explore ideas with no immediate commercial payoff.　　But Microsoft researchers here also said they were conscious of their untested "outsider" status, which makes them especially eager to find product applications for their theoretical findings. Among other things, researchers are working on computer graphics, speech recognition and text translation.　　The expansion of foreign labs in China is bound to spark further debate, similar to the controversy over outsourcing of technology services, about the implications of the increasing globalization of corporate research.
