翻译文本 - English英语 One afternoon in April, Teng Yu arrived at the Shens’ residence for the first time. She rang the bell and soon a young servant came to open the door with a bow and lead her inside.
The outer courtyard was quiet. Sunlight shown down, casting shadows from the foliage onto grey-green brick. After they had passed through the first moon gate, the servant bowed and withdrew. There then approached a woman who greeted Teng Yu politely and ushered her into the inner courtyard. All was quiet. Glancing upward, Teng Yu saw a birdcage in which a canary was preening its feathers with its sharp beak, stopping only to make an inquiring chirp or two.
After traversing several corridors, they came at last to an elegant building. A girl came out, nodded slightly and, taking Teng Yu by the arm, led her up the steps. A couple more paces brought them to a door screen which the girl pulled aside, inviting Teng Yu to enter. Teng Yu stood on the threshold and had to focus a moment before she could take in the room’s furnishings. She noted distinctly the scent of makeup and powder in the air, but her expression revealed nothing as she sat herself primly on a chair. She glanced at the tea the girl brought over and refused it.
“Is the master resting?” she asked.
“Master went out on some business, Miss,” the girl hastily answered, “but on his way out he said for Miss to make herself at home when she comes, and Master will look in on you this evening once he gets back.”
“That’s fine,” Teng Yu replied with a smile and a wave of her hand. “I’m tired. I’ll just rest a bit. You must be tired yourselves—no need to wait on me.”
Faint shafts of sunlight entering through the screen flickered here and there on the wall. Teng Yu curled up on an ottoman, eyes half closed, feeling only pervasive fatigue. She had been genuinely tired throughout the whole trip.
Years ago she had heard her mother speak of the Shens as one of the prominent literary families in the region, and how they were such old and dear friends with the Tengs it was like they were all one family. Only nowadays the Teng family had fallen on hard times. All those years desperately clinging to a hollow shell, and now that her father, Teng Liang Xiao, had passed away, the Teng family was well and truly at an end.
In the days before the trip, her mother had made it clear time and again that when she got to the Shens’ place she would have to behave herself. Unlike at home, she would have to watch what she said and did always. This trip into town, Teng Yu knew, was no ordinary visit to see friends and family. She was the Teng family’s only daughter, but her mother would rather live out her years alone and send her to the Shens. There was no mistaking her mother’s meaning.

翻译文本 - English英语 Today’s non-governmental chambers of commerce are founded against a backdrop of the market economy and globalization. We may be unable to say definitively what a ‘chamber of commerce’ is by looking in the nation’s laws and regulations or our predecessors’ practices, but as the founders of a new type of chamber of commerce in modern China, we know some things with certainty from our own direct experience over many years.
First, a chamber of commerce is not a clan or family: It cannot engage in nepotism or the despotic dictatorship of a ‘patriarchy.’
Second, a chamber of commerce is not a corporation: It cannot operate on the profit motive, much less allow those who put up the most money to simply have their way.
Third, a chamber of commerce is not a government: Chamber presidents derive their power from the support of their members, not as an appointment from above, and they must truly devote themselves heart and soul to serving those members.
A chamber is a collective organization of all its members, so its leader must solicit the broader membership’s attention, mobilize their participation, represent their interests, express their demands, protect their rights and accept their supervision—fulfilling this new role that seeks opportunities within the tempestuous tides of a market economy —for only then can we cast off the mental shackles fastened through millennia of feudal despotism, leave behind the crass capitalist accumulation and thirst for quick profits we’ve witnessed in recent years, transcend the destiny of our nature that says ‘one Chinese is a dragon, three Chinese are a hive,’ and become organizers of a market economy with Chinese characteristics, builders of a harmonious society, and promoters of democratic government.
The private sector is immature, weak and small, and this makes effective organization an urgent imperative: Because it is small and weak, it needs protection; because it is immature, it needs regulation. So, I believe that chambers of commerce must act first and foremost as organizers.
Secondly, non-governmental chambers of commerce are builders of a harmonious society. Who should be the primary agent in building a harmonious society? According to my understanding, one ought to have ‘small government, large society,’ whereby the government takes those things it cannot manage or manage well and leaves them for the society to organize—a task that chambers of commerce are ideally positioned to perform—and so the private sector should be the primary agent for organizing a harmonious society. Third, I believe that non-governmental chambers of commerce are promoters of democratic government. Building democratic government requires some secure footholds, and chambers of commerce have charters stipulating that they are to be democratic, with a democratic form of organization. This allows a chamber’s activities to become good democratic training and learning opportunities for its members. A training process of this sort is necessary for any kind of democracy, like villager self-governance in villages or community elections in the cities, and chambers of commerce can become platforms for honing their members’ democratic capabilities.
Non-governmental chambers of commerce are a kind of social organization, a slowly growing and maturing product of the economy and society. They have already become a positive force for building a harmonious society and, even more so, they will provide effective organizational assurance for ‘giving power to the people.’
