进入新世纪，国际形势继续发生深刻复杂的变化。世界多级化和经济全球化在曲折中发展。科技进步日新月异，我们既面临着必须抓住的发展机遇，也面临着必须认真应对的严峻挑战，尽管当今世界还存在着这样那样的矛盾和利益冲突，不确定、不稳定因素有所增加，但和平与发展仍是当今时代的主题，世界要和平，国家要发展、人民要合作是不可阻挡的历史潮流。
当前亚洲形势总体稳定，和平、发展、合作已成为前进中亚洲的主流。经过共同努力，亚洲有关国家摆脱了金融危机的阴影，战胜了非典和禽流感疫情的冲击，经济结构调整取得成效，产业升级换代步伐加快，区域合作方兴未艾，抗御风险能力不断增强。亚洲仍然是全球最具发展活力的地区之一，也继续是全球贸易的重要增长点之一。我们对亚洲的发展前景充满信心。
Translation - English In the new century, the international situation has continued to undergo profound and complicated changes. World multipolarization and economic globalization are progressing amid twists and turns. Science and technology are advancing with each passing day. We have before us both development opportunities that we must seize and grave challenges that we must deal with seriously. Despite the widespread conflicts and clashes of interests and development remain the overriding themes of the times. The world needs peace, countries desire development and people want cooperation. This has become an irresistible trend of history.
At present, Asia, on the whole, enjoys stability, with peace, development and cooperation becoming the mainstream of an advancing Asia. With concerted efforts, relevant Asian countries have freed themselves from the shadow of the financial crisis, overcome the impact of SARS and bird flu, succeeded in economic restructuring, quickened the tempo of industrial upgrading and transformation, promoted a robust regional cooperation, and increased the capacity to tide over potential risks. Asia has retained its position as one of the world’s most dynamic regions and a key growth point in global trade. We are full of confidence in the future of Asia’s development.
English to Chinese: A business letter
Source text - English Dear Mr Wu
I do not have an email address for Chen Chun, and trust you can pass on the information in this email.
I would like to set the process in motion for the purchase of your shares to proceed.
Whatever the difficulties that have arisen between us, I made a promise that the shares you bought from Tim Emeny will be bought back at the same price you paid for them. There is no question that I will be sticking to this promise.
I have heard via others that you would be happy to have the shares bought out by Tingle through a 12 month loan agreement. While an 18 month arrangement would be more suitable for Tingle, I believe that a 12 month repayment period may be possible. However, I do not wish to assume, based on what others have said to me, that this is what you had in mind. Can you kindly confirm if you are happy to move forward on this basis? If so I can go ahead and supply you with the documents required for us to move forwards.
This is what we need to do:
1. 14 days before the transfer, we must supply ASIC with a notice of intention for Tingle to buy back your shares. This will need to be signed by myself and Chen Ping Chun. To get us started, I can send this notice if you let me know that you are happy to proceed. I will need to get the signed copy back, and I will lodge it as soon as I receive it.
2. After ASIC’s required 14 days, we would provide you with the paperwork to sign for the transfer of shares, and we would arrange payment for the shares by way of a deposit and a loan agreement for the balance.
To satisfy the Huangli’s promise regarding her $50,048 share parcel, Tingle will be buying back your entire 35% shareholding. We have made our own arrangement with Huangli regarding her promise. This $50,048 payment will be the deposit.
Timing of signing documents will be important, as I understand there are fears and concerns on both sides regarding trust. I propose that at the same time you deliver the signed paperwork for the transfer of the shares, I will hand you a bank cheque for $50,048, along with the signed loan agreement with set monthly repayments into your nominated bank account. We can do this when we meet, however, to ensure the meeting can finalise the transfer, it would be best to have the loan document and transfer documents agreed to first by email so that we do not need to make last minute changes when we meet.
I will also require the directors resignation letter before any transfer happens or the $50,048 deposit is paid. It would be OK to have the resignation letter together with the signed transfer documents, but I would not be proceeding with submitting the transfer or handing over payment without receiving the resignation.
I do hope you can see I am keen to make this transfer work. I trust that you can also see that what I am suggesting is reasonable, and that I have every intention of dealing with this situation in a fair and honest way.
Source text - Chinese Until recently, scientists knew little about life in deep sea, nor had they reason to believe that it was being threatened. Now, with the benefit of technology that allows for deeper exploration, researchers have uncovered a remarkable array of species inhabiting the ocean floor at depths of more than 660 feet, or about 200 meters. At the same time, however, technology has also enabled fishermen to reach far deeper than ever before, into areas where bottom trawls can destroy in minutes what has taken nature hundreds and in some cases thousands of years to build.
Many of the world’s coral species, for example, are found at depths of more than 200 meters. It is also estimated that roughly half of the world’s highest seamounts- areas that rise from the ocean floor and are particularly rich in marine life- are also found in the deep ocean.
These deep sea ecosystems provide shelter, spawning and breeding areas for fish and other creatures, as well as protection from strong currents and predators. Moreover, they are believed to harbor some of the most extensive reservoirs of life on earth, with estimates ranging from 500,000 to 100 million species inhabiting these largely unexplored and highly fragile ecosystems.
Yet just as we are beginning to recognize the tremendous diversity of life in these areas, along with the potential benefits newly found species may hold for human society in the form of potential food products and new medicines, they are at risk of being lost forever. With enhanced ability both to identify where these species-rich areas are located and to trawl in deeper water than before, commercial fishing vessels are now beginning to reach down with nets the size of football fields, catching everything in their path while simultaneously crushing fragile corals and breaking up the delicate structure of reefs and seamounts that provide critical habitat to the countless species of fish and other marine life that inhabit the deep ocean floor.
Because deep sea bottom trawling is a recent phenomenon, the damage that has been done is still limited. If steps are taken quickly to prevent this kind of destructive activity from occurring on the high seas, the benefits both to the marine environment and to future generations are incalculable. And they far outweigh the short-term costs to the fishing industry.
I am an Australian Chinese. I majored in Commercial English and worked as an IELTS teacher for 7 years before migrating to Australia in 2007.
Working as a senior case officer at a migration firm has given me the opportunity to improve my translation skills and practices, especially in business and commercial aspects, as all our clients were business migrants.
As a translator, it is very crucial to be competent so as to provide accurate translation. It is a profession which requires professional conducts, impartiality and confidentiality.
I will endeavoure to translate accurate and excellent translation.
