翻译文本 - English英语 Bioenergy: the Third Battlefield of Agriculture Synergy
Liu Tienan, Chief of Industries Division, National Development and Reform Commission, said today that there is huge potential and strategic opportunity for China to develop bioenergy and biochemical products. We must establish and improve a series of policies and technical standards which conform to China’s realities as soon as possible, with a focus aiming at the most urgent area.
It is introduced that biological energy is a kind of solar energy settled on the earth by plants through photosynthesis. Through the technology of bioenergy transformation can bioenergy resources be highly-efficiently utilised to produce all kinds of clean fuel to replace mineral fuel with the purpose of reducing the dependence on mineral fuel, protecting national energy resources and alleviating the environmental pollution of energy consumption.
With the gradual exhaustion of petrochemical resources and the pursuit of environmental protection in recent years, people start to focus on renewable clean energy and the diversity of energy, which results in bioenergy becoming a new focus of attention.
The industry of biology has been advanced as a national strategy in some developed western countries. Many governments are making great efforts to support and encourage the technical innovation in the field of bioenergy. They are also reducing its price gap with traditional crude oil and natural gas products in order for ultimate substitution. This is going to be the third battlefield opened up for agriculture synergy after the expansion of China’s traditional agriculture from primary agricultural production to produce processing industry.
English英语译成Chinese汉语: How the Picture Changes
原文文本 - English英语 My wife and I first met in a supermarket --- and fell in like at once. I saw an angel. She saw a knight. In the weeks and months that followed, it became obvious that we were a perfect match.
We each put our best foot forward. I wrote her poetry, bought her flowers, and gave her such tenderness that I surprised even me. She laughed at my jokes, shed tears of joy, and whispered sweet nothings in my ear for hours. Whatever she liked I suddenly liked. Whatever I wanted, she wanted too. She pretended to enjoy my jokes and my driving. I pretended to enjoy holding hands and window-shopping. Nothing was too much trouble. We were meant to be together.
Then we came home from our honeymoon. As kissing gave way to the real business of living, we began to find out who we’d really married.
She discovered that Mr. “Fun Guy” was also Mr. “Totally disorganized” --- late for everything, and an expert at forgetting names, faces, birthdays and wedding anniversaries (especially hers). He liked eating sausages and meat pies –yuk!
He discovered that Miss “Make-your-Heart–Melt” was also Mrs. “Nervous Nelly” – an uptight stickler for detail, with a tendency to nag (especially in the car). She liked eating mushrooms and mussels – yuk!
She discovered that he was hopeless with money. He discovered that crowds gave her the creeps. She discovered that his tenderness could change to clumsiness sometimes. He discovered that she needed at least 16 hours sleep each night and was usually too tired to whisper sweet nothings in anyone’s ear.
So much for birds of a feather! We didn’t know back then that this was normal --- that most couples make the same discovery, somewhere between getting married and growing-up.
We didn’t know back then that this was good –that those interesting and frustrating differences are really the spice of life and one of God’s best ideas.
I’m still a part-time failure when it comes to understanding her moods and mannerism, her strengths and not-so-strengths. My faults still give her headaches.
But guess what? Twenty-five years after the meeting in the supermarket, I’ve come to love mushrooms and mussels! She ate a pie the other day and confessed that it was good.

The villagers built their dwellings on the mountainside of more than one kilometre high. You must be charmed with the beauty of the dwellings surrounded by mists and clouds.
Apart from natural landscapes, there are some ecological mysteries such as the stone blockhouse in Diaoshui Rocks. How was the giant rocks piled up? Were they formed naturally? Where does the sound of Rat-tat Rock come from? Why the cobbles become smaller? What is the content of Jiu Ling Tian Shu? All of them can provoke visitors’ curiosity and fill them with highly praise to Nature’s power.
Thousand-island Lake
Located in Chun’an of Zhejiang Province, Thousand-island Lake is a man-made lake due to the building of Xin’an River Hydropower Station in 1959, the first large-scale hydropower station designed and installed by China.
Thousand-island Lake is 982 square kilometres in area in which lake area occupies 573 square kilometres. Consisting of 1078 islands, the lake area is therefore called Thousand-island Lake. Connecting Hangzhou on the east and connecting Mountain Huangshan on the west, Thousand-island Lake is a bright pearl in the line from Hangzhou to Thousand-island Lake to Mountain Huangshan.
Thousand-island Lake has beautiful landscape scenery and its forest coverage reaches 93% with more than 1800 types of plants and more than 2100 types of wild animals. Islands with various forms spread all over the lake area. The peninsulas and the upward rocks above water make the lake area into a labyrinth. Thousand-island Lake won the reputation as a picture with one thousand islands and clear water thanks to the magic combination of hills, lakes, caves and rocks. The unique cause of formation and advantageous geographical condition contribute to beautiful and natural Thousand-island Lake with rolling hills, beautiful lake landscapes and clear water.
Macau
Macau used to be a fishing village.
The name Macau was derived from a Chinese goddess named Matsu who was respected and admired by fishermen. According to the legend, a furious storm suddenly attacked a sailing fish boat on a fair and smooth day, putting fishermen’s lives in danger. At that critical moment, a young lady stood up and ordered the storm to stop. To everyone’s surprise, the wind stopped, the sea resumed peace and the boat arrived at Sea Mirror Harbour safe and sound. Walking towards the “A-Ma-Gao” hill after landing, the young lady vanished as a mist in a dazzling light. A temple dedicated to Matsu was then built on where she landed.
In the middle of the 16th century, the first group of Portuguese settlers asked local people about the name of the place and got the answer of “A-Ma-Gao” because the local people thought they meant about the temple. According to the pronunciation, “MACAU” then became the place’s Portuguese name.
The mixing of the Chinese and western cultures for more than four hundred years has made Macau a unique city with a lot of historical and cultural heritages.
As a special administrative region of the People’s Republic of China after the handover in 1999, Macau operates with a high degree of autonomy under the Basic Law of Macau. Under the principle of “one country, two systems”, Macau maintains and continues its social and economic characteristics.
Being a small city of 25.8 square kilometres, Macau is one of the most densely populated regions and one Asian region with high revenue per capita.
Macau is an international city where the Chinese and western cultures have been mixing in harmony for several centuries.
At longitude 113°35 east and latitude22°14’ north, Macau lies in the Peal River Delta on the southeast coast of China, sixty kilometres away from Hong Kong on its northeast side.
Macau consists of the Macau Peninsula and the islands of Taipa and Coloana. Of the total area of 25.8 square kilometres, the Macau Peninsula, the Taipa Island, the Coloana Island and the Lutianhai Area respectively take up of 8.5, 6.2, 7.6 and 3.5 square kilometres.
Two Macau-Taipa Bridges of 2.5 and 4.5 kilometre-long respectively connect the Macau Peninsula and Taipa together. Taipa is also connected to Coloana by a 2.2 kilometre-long Estrada do Istmo. People can go to Zhuhai city and Zhongshan city in mainland China through the custom pass located in the very north of the Macau Peninsula and go to the Hengqin Island in Zhuhai through the Lotus Bridge in Cotai.
Currently, most of Macau’s 436,800 residents live in the Macau Peninsula, leaving a small number of people in the two islands.
The population in Macau consists of 95% Chinese and 5% from Portuguese and people from other countries.
Weather
Macau has a temperate climate, with an average temperature of 20℃(68°F), the highest temperature in a year being 16℃(50°F) and the lowest being 25℃(77°F). The humidity is high and between 75% and 90%. The average annual precipitation is approximately 1,778 millimetres.
With its mild temperature and low humidity, Macau’s autumn (October to December) is a great season for tourism. Winter (January to March) is relatively cold but sunny. The temperature gradually rises in April; it becomes hot with occasional typhoons between May and September. Upon the approach of typhoon and the issue of warning signal No.8, two Macau-Taipa Bridges and Estrada do Istmo will be temporarily closed, and ships and flights between Hong Kong and Macau will be temporarily cancelled.
Only light cotton clothes or T-shirts are needed in summer; woollen clothes and coats are required in cold winter; sweaters or jackets are suitable at cool nights in spring and autumn.
Economy
The economy of Macau was weak before the 1960s, but since the early 1970s, Macau has attracted industrial investment from Hong Kong with its advantages of low price of labour and land and textile product quotas in the European and American markets. The export and processing industry featuring textile, electronic toys and plastic flowers have gradually come into shape, together with tourism and entertainment industry, construction and real estate industry and financial insurance industry being the four chief economic sectors in Macau. The economy of Macau was increased by larger than two digits annually from the 1970s to the early 1980s, making Macau one of the fast-developing regions in Asia. In 1998, the GDP of Macau was 59.4 billion patacas and the GDP per capita was US$18, 000 dollars. Of the total value of foreign trade of 32.6 billion patacas, the import value was 17 billion patacas and the export value was 15.6 billion patacas. The fiscal revenue and expenditure of the Macau government in 1998 were 10.7 billion patacas and 10.6 billion patacas respectively, and the foreign exchange reserve was 19.6 billion patacas. The gambling-geared tourism has now become the biggest industry in Macau, accounting for 42% of its GDP. Trademark law has been established in Macau in terms of intellectual property protection, and the establishment of patent law is also under consideration. Macau and Hong Kong had been enjoying close economic and cultural relations as a result of their geographical locations and histories---- Macau depends on Hong Kong and Hong Kong can get benefits from Macau. The link between Macau and mainland China has been growing in closeness since the reform and opening up. The economy of Macau will keep growing as a result of the handover. Most of the 200 Chinese invested enterprises in Macau are distributed in the financial, architecture, tourism and trade industries.
Tourism
Macau is a city suitable for sightseeing on foot. Small but full of attractions, therefore sometimes tourists will intentionally or unintentionally escape the fixed route. However, it is always easy to get back to the original route.
Largo do Senado, in the middle of Macau, is the best starting point for walking sightseeing. Located in Largo do Senado, the Tourism Bureau provides tourists with pamphlets introducing in detail views in a walking sightseeing trip. These pamphlets have detailed introduction on views in an on foot sightseeing trip.
Time
The local time in Macau is eight hours ahead of the Greenwich Standard Time.
Language
Chinese and Portuguese are the official languages in Macau. People commonly use Cantonese for daily communication, but many people understand Mandarin. English is also popular and being used in many occasions.
Currency
Pataca is the official currency of Macau with issued banknotes of 10, 20, 50, 100, 500 and 1000 pataca and coins of 1 ho, 2 ho, 5ho, 1, 2, 5 and 10 pataca. The pataca serves as the medium of exchange for the transfer of goods and services in Macau, but the Hong Kong dollar and some other floating currencies can also be used. The exchange rates are determined by the floating rates in the market.
US$ 1 can be exchanged into approximately eight patacas, and HK$ 100 can be exchanged into 103 patacas.
It is very convenient to exchange currency and get a travel’s cheques at a proper place like a bank, hotel or private bank. In addition, the Macau International Airport and Hotel Lisboa provide foreign currency exchange services around the clock.
Local and foreign currencies all have access to free-floating at home or broad without limitations on the quantities. Besides, some stores in Macau also accept credit cards.
Public Security
The public security in Macau is of high quality, and the police office and case-reporting offices are in service all day. Citizens can report a case by dialling 999, and tourists can call two exclusive emergency hotlines by dialling 110 (for tourists from mainland) or 112 (for tourists from overseas).
Gambling
With a long history of over three centuries, gambling is one of the oldest industries in Macau. Being the pillar in Macau’s economy, gambling has earned the title of the “Monte Carlo of the Orient”.
In 2003, the gross revenue of the gambling industry in Macau was 29.5 billion patacas (US$ 3.69 billion), accounting for 60% (US$ 6.1 billion) of the gambling revenue in the city of Las Vegas and direct taxes being over 10.2 billion patacas (US$ 1.28 billion). The gross revenue for the first three quarters was 31 billion patacas (US$ 3.88 billion), accounting for 76% (US$ 5.07 billion) of the gambling revenue in Las Vegas and direct taxes being 11 billion patacas (US$ 1.38 billion).
From monopoly to opening up
After several renewals, the monopoly to Macau’s gambling industry which was obtained by the Sociedade de Turismo e Diversões de Macau in 1962 ended on December 31, 2001. The Sociedade de Turismo e Diversões de Macau had to pay the government gambling taxes each year according to the monopoly contract, and the tax rate after several revisions over the years was 31.8% of the total revenue of the company in 2001. In the 1990s, half the annual revenue of the government came from the gambling taxes, accounting almost 1/3 of the GDP. The annual gross revenue of the Sociedade de Turismo e Diversões de Macau over the last years of monopoly was between 13 billion and 18 billion patacas, and the gambling taxes for the government was between 4.2 billion and 5.9 billion patacas.
Besides in casinos, gambling activities in Macau also include gambling on horse-racings, dog racings, “white dove” lotteries and soccer betting which has become popular in recent years. After the establishment, the government of the Special Administrative Region decided to open up the gambling industry upon the ending of the monopoly at the end of 2001 for developing a competitive gambling industry to create more job opportunities for Macanese citizens and further securing Macau’s position of regional gambling centre.
Due to the fact that the gambling industry plays a crucial role in Macau’s economy, the government of the Special Administrative Region during the opening up was holding a cautious and rigorous attitude in carrying out all activities like establishing exclusive committee to study the development of the gambling industry, hiring consultant companies to explore the industry or developing relative laws and regulations and bids procedures.
Developing a set of rules regulating the gambling industry
The Legislative Council officially enacted the Law 16/2001 (regime jurídico da exploração de jogos de fortuna ou azar em casino) in the end of August 2001, making multiple regulations on approval systems, conditions and bidding in addition to clearly defining the definitions of casinos and lottery gambling.
After the enactment, the government then started to develop a set of relative administrative rules and regulations to be the supplement of the law and to set up a working group in charge of organizing relative activities.
The First Open Bid of Casino Lottery Gambling Operation and Approval Committee was officially set up with the Chief Executive’s instructions on October 31, 2001, organizing activities regarding tenders and bids as well as giving advice on the Chief Executive’s issuing gambling licenses. There are eight members in the committee, and the chairman is Tam Pak Yuen, Secretary of Secretariat for Economy and Finance.
The bidding activities were officially carried out on November 2, and the Bid Committee in the Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau started to hand out information materials to investors and collect bidding documents from them. The bidding on gambling licenses ended on December 7, and all together 21 bidding documents had been received. Capitals in the companies submitting bidding documents are from Macau, Hong Kong, the United States, Malaysia and other countries or regions.
Chinese汉语译成English英语: Open Source Software and Business Software General field: 技术/工程设计 Detailed field: 电脑（总称）
翻译文本 - English英语 Open Source Software and Business Software
To those who know a little about Open Source Software (OSS), the most particular difference between Business Software and OSS is probably the word “free”. In fact, OSS refers to the software that anyone can freely use, download, modify and spread. However, “freely” does not completely mean “free”.
In terms of establishing cost, OSS is not completely free but cheaper than Business Software indeed. OSS still sets “service cost” with the excuse of establishment or follow-up maintenance, and OSS businessmen do not deny that it is the main source of their income. After all, only by finding stable marketing patterns can they survive and continue their follow-up services.
In terms of security, it seems unfair to compare OSS and Business Software on the assumption of the same standards because they have remarkable differences in the standards of the utilisation rate in the markets. In other words, it is not the case that OSS does not have the worries of security at all; and it is a fact indeed that to Business Software, security problem demands prompt solution.
All in all, users or enterprises no longer have one choice only on the establishment of software later. Also, because of this, they must have basic knowledge and understanding of the advantages and disadvantages of OSS and Business Software.
Chinese汉语译成English英语: Chronic Fatigue General field: 医学 Detailed field: 医疗：医疗服务
翻译文本 - English英语 On Chronic Fatigue
It is a physiological phenomenon for normal people to feel fatigued after intense exercises or working until deep into the night. However, attention is needed if you always feel fatigued or weak all over no matter how much work you do.
In general internal medical clinics or departments, complaints of patients can often be heard: “I feel very tired”, or “I have been feeling fatigued during the past few days no matter how much rest I have”. Faced with their helpless and fatigued expressions, doctors are often complaining in their hearts. One reason is that doctors themselves also feel fatigued due to the heavy work stress every day. The other reason is that in fact most patients are not found anything unusual after various pathological tests and examinations. Even if test results show something unusual, it may have nothing to do with fatigue or there may be no good clinical treatment available.
What is fatigue? Clinical or scientific statistics are not able to give a reasonable definition. In practice it is divided into three categories according to patients’ medical history and symptoms: physiological, acute and chronic.
Physiological fatigue refers to the unbalanced condition of mentally and physically healthy people due to excessive exercise or insufficient rest and diet. It is normal and it usually can be distinctly improved through sufficient rest.
Acute fatigue is not included in physiological fatigue and cannot be improved by rest in bed. It usually lasts within six months. Chronic fatigue, on the other hand, has the similar symptoms as acute fatigue but lasts a longer period of more than six months.
Chinese汉语译成English英语: Soybean General field: 医学 Detailed field: 医疗（总称）
翻译文本 - English英语 Soybean – the First Chosen Healthy Food for the 21st Century
Chinese in different provinces, ranging from the three provinces in the northeast to Guangdong Province in the south, and from the west to the east of China, have different cooking methods for food. As a people who eat soybeans, they also have numerous and various ways of cooking food using soybean as a source material. Soybean has become a main source material for vegetarian food as the vegetable protein it provides is the main source of protein for vegetarians.
Global research on the nutrition of soybean dated back to over thirty years ago when researchers had reached a consensus that soybean is a healthy food containing high protein and mineral fat only.
According to the recent research results released by a series of international seminars, soybean has been proven to have some other surprising effects. Not only can it restrain the growth of some cancer cells, but its protein also can directly decrease cholesterol. In addition, containing the highest vegetable estrogens among all foods, it is effective for treating all kinds of climacteric diseases and symptoms.
Research shows that the vegetable estrogens contained in soybean are very effective for relieving hot flash. In addition, initial research shows that the calcium loss in the bones of females in their climacteric period with a large intake of soybean products is less than those without soybean intake.
Therefore, it is of high intelligence as a tradition for Chinese to list bean curd and soybean products as a part of healthy diet for old people. Maybe we should further promote soybean products to people at every life stage, not only the old, but also the middle-aged and the young, in order to make soybean products the most inexpensive but nutritious healthy food in the 21st century.
Chinese汉语译成English英语: Three Principles for Old People to Observe at Breakfast General field: 医学 Detailed field: 医疗：医疗服务
翻译文本 - English英语 Three Principles for Old People to Observe at Breakfast
Old people have to be more careful when they have meals due to their weaker digestive systems. There are three principles for them to observe at breakfast, known as better late than early, better soft than hard, and better less than more.
According to modern medical research, although most human organs have enough rest during sleep at night, the digestive system still works continuously at night to digest the food remaining in the stomach which is taken during the day. It is until in the morning that it rests, so the digestive system needs at least two or three hours’ rest to be able to continue working. Since the old people become vestigial, if they have breakfast too early, the rest time will be used for digestion and normal metabolism will be affected.
If metabolites stay in the body and cannot be discharged, they will cause various kinds of old age diseases. Therefore, it would be appropriate for the old to have breakfast between half past eight and nine. Since eating fried, hard and irritating food at breakfast could do harm to the stomach and cause indigestion, it is better for health to eat some warm food which is easy to digest.
In addition, if the amount of food taken exceeds the load ability of the digestive system, the food then cannot be digested and the digestion ability will drop in a longer term, causing functional disorder in the stomach and intestines and then gastroenteropathy.
Chinese汉语译成English英语: The Blind Area in the Tax System Should Not Be Neglected General field: 商务/金融 Detailed field: 法律：税与海关
翻译文本 - English英语 The Blind Area in the Tax System Should Not Be Neglected
With the development of the Internet, some virtual shops and department stores have emerged with a vigorous growing trend. Since enterprises and citizens have to pay tax according to law in real life, do they need to pay tax upon their income in the virtual world of the Internet? Where to pay the taxes? How much income do they have indeed? All these are challenges we are faced with under the new economic circumstances.
To run an online department store, there’s no need of entities of shops, a great deal of power rates and water rates as well as expenses on the employees. What is necessary is to upload all the information of the products online only. Therefore, compared with other entities, more operating costs could be saved.
It is unclear that through what channels the products on sale in online stores are purchased and sold, and how much the prime cost and the profit earned are. There is no way to collect tax because it is impossible to confirm the income of those doing businesses online. It is a blind area in the tax system.
Although online stores are virtual ones and it is very hard to enforce law in real life, the profit they have gained is actually in the hands of the operators who establish those online stores. According to the national legal provisions, paying tax by operation of law is essential no matter where the business activities are undertaken. Thereby, relevant taxation policies should be developed as soon as possible to eliminate the blind area in the tax collection of online stores.
Chinese汉语译成English英语: Parents Should Respect Their Children’s Right of Privacy General field: 社会科学 Detailed field: 教育/教育学
翻译文本 - English英语 Parents Should Respect Their Children’s Right of Privacy
Many children have conflicts with their parents on the issue of privacy. As they grow older and become more independent, they start to have their own secrets and diaries become their friends to whom they can pour their hearts. However, many parents try all means to read their children diaries without permission and eavesdrop on their private conversations with the excuses of responsibility or concern. They hardly realise that these behaviours are what their children feel disgusted with.
A professor in sociology believes that the behaviours of parents’ reading children’s diaries without permission or eavesdropping on children’s private conversations show lack of care to them and lack of trust in them. It will result in children’s resentment towards their parents, leading to new communication barriers. It substantially reflects the deficiency of current family education. When infringing upon their children’s right of privacy, parents or teachers also hurt their mentality greatly. In the long run, children may develop depression or even distorted characters.
Experts suggest parents respect their children’s right of privacy and do not easily open their children’s locked drawers because they are used to collect secrets. If they are opened by force, the door of children’s hearts will then be closed tight for you. Parents should treat children as equals and get closer to them, communicating more with them to know their inner world and resolve their worries.
Chinese汉语译成English英语: Gravity Lost General field: 科学 Detailed field: 科学（普通）
翻译文本 - English英语 Gravity Lost
Human adventure origins when primitive men leave the protection of forests to explore grasslands and areas beyond and finally achieve the space exploration today. Those fearless ancestors could hardly imagine the great influence their behaviours have on later generations; similarly, space warriors today can hardly imagine how huge their bodies are influenced by no gravity environment.
What are the effects of no gravity environment exactly? It is known to all that the main characteristic of gravity is the ability to pull all substances downward. For example, when we stand for a long time, body fluid accounting for 60% of body weight will push downward, resulting in feet swelling.
Since the body fluid will lose its weight when a space man enters low gravity environment, his head will be swelled in a few minutes. On the contrary, fluid in the legs will be one kilogram less than normal. With the fluid back-flow to upper body, space men will feel top heavy just like having a cold and this feeling will not disappear until they return to the earth.
Space men are faced with huge challenges on their senses and consciousness because of the great difference between no gravity environment and the earth. When they float forward holding the walls in the cabin, sometimes they would feel that it is the spaceship which is moving, but not them. No gravity environment destroys the original ability of coordination between hands and eyes. Therefore, it becomes extremely complicated even for a simple movement like pushing buttons, since space men must readjust the huge gap between what they see and the actual movement.
