计划 项目进度计划表范例计划下载计划下载计划下载课程教学计划下载 时，国有企业和民营企业所表现出的热忱和决心都给我留下了深刻的印象。1.这是为了评估贵国最近的经济发展状况，并与贵国领导人一起讨论中国加入世贸组织之后世界银行可以提供给中国的援助战略。2.两天前我就在云南省开始了我的评估，现在又到了四川。我已经看到世界银行向政府和民营企业提供援助开发西部的好的范例。3.中国西部。包括11个省、自治区和一个直辖市，占地680万平方公里，拥有人口3亿6400万。4.中国政府决心加快西部省份的开发对中国成功实现可持续发展计划至关重要。5.然而，这其中也存在看不可忽略的挑战。它们包括继续努力创造和改善商业环境。但是我相信中国可以应对这些挑战。最后。我要感谢四川省人民政府对世界银行和国际金融组织在四川工作的支持。我希望我们一起为西部发展和改善西部人民居住条件努力工作，做出贡献。谢谢！任务—中译英TheSpeechbytheDeputyGeneralManagerofSunshineInternationalExhibitionCenterat2002onthePressConferenceofChinaInternationalMusicalInstrumentExhibitionDistinguishedguestsandfriendsfromthemedia,ExhibitionFirst,onbehalfofSunshineInternationalExhibitionCenterCo.Ltd,pleaseallowmetoexpressourwarmwelcomeandsinceregratitudetoalltheguestspresentatthenewsconferencetodayMusicChinaInternationalMusicalInstrumentsExhibition,agreatoccasionfortheinternationalindustrycircleofmusicalinstruments,willbeheldfrom16-19October2005atSunshineChinaInternationalExhibitionCentre.1Thepurposeofthisexhibitionistoenhancetheinternationalexchangeandcooperationinthisfield.2Wehopetolearnfromtheadvancedtechnologyandexperiencefromabroad.Atthesametimeitwillserveasawindowandbridgefortheproducersanddealershomeandabroadtoexchangetechnology,displayproducts.3.Itcanalsoprovidemusicenthusiastsanopportunitytoconsultandbuytheproductsandserviceprogramstheyneed.4.Sofar,morethan270domesticandforeigncompanieshavesingedupattheexhibitionwithatotalexhibitionareaof15.000squaremeters.ItisthelargestexhibitionofthatkindinChina任务三：对话题发表看法（略)ORALTESTFORENGLISHMAJORS(December2003)-GRADEEIGHT-TaskOne:InterpretingfromEnglishintoChineseDirections:Pleasedonotdointerpretingwhenyoulistentothespeechthistime.AddressattheFifthAnniversaryCelebrationoftheFoundingofNatureMagazineLadiesandgentlemen,,It’swithgreatpleasurethatIwelcomeyouheretodaytothefifthanniversarycelebrationofthefoundingofthemagazineNature.Nevercouldwehaveimaginedfiveyearsagothatwewouldhavecomesofarinsoshortatime.Buthereweareattheendofyearfive,andwhatafantasticyearithasbeenLetmereviewourachievementsinthesefiveyearsWe'vepublishedsomeveryimpressivearticles,eachmonthsomehowsurpassingthequalityanddepthofthepreviousmonth’sedition.OurcreativeandtalentedstaffwonfivewritingawardsandsevenphotographicawardsThisyearsome119,000peoplesubscribedtoourmagazine.Ifedthattheacceptanceofourmagazinebypeopleisthemostrewardingaspectofthisproject-Aboutsixyearsagowehadanideaforanature-orientedmagazine,butweallhaddoubtsaboutthegeneralacceptanceoftheidea,whethertherewouldtieenoughinterestfrompeopletosustainus.Weassembledthefinestpeoplewecouldfindanddecided,fromthestart,toproducethehighestqualityproductwepossiblycould..Today,it’sawonderfulfeelingtoknowthatwehavesucceeded,andeveryoneheresharesthecreditformakingthismagazinewhatithasbecomeWhileitisaformidabletaskforusall,Tmsurethatnextyearatthistimewe’llhavemoreawards,andmoresubscribers,andfedanevengreatersenseofaccomplishmentandfulfillment.2003年12月英语专业八级口语考试真题答案任务-：英译中在《自然》杂志创刊5周年庆典上的讲话女士们，先生们：^今天我很荣幸欢迎各位来参加《自然》杂志创刊5周年庆典.五年前谁也没曾想到我们能在这么短的时间内取得这么大的成就.而现在第五年也即将过去，这可真是一个神奇的一年啊。就让我来回顾一下五年来我们所取得的成绩吧1.我们的杂志出版了一些给人深刻印象的文章，每一期在文章的质重和论述的深度上都比前一期有所提高。2.我们富有创造力和充满智慧的员工获得了五个写作奖和七个摄影奖.今年有近十一万九千人订阅了我们的杂志.我认为读者对我们杂志的认同是我们这项事业获得的最大奖励。3.大约六年前.我们计划着要办一个以自然为主题的杂志但却不知道公众能否接受这样一个创意，也不知道读者是否有足够的兴趣来支持我们。（当时）我们聘用了业内最优秀的人士,并且从一开始就决定要出版最优秀的刊物。4今天，当我们意识到已经成功实现目标的时候，心憒是如此的喜悦，在座的每一位为杂志付出过的人都有资格来分享这份成功。5艰巨的任务仍然摆在我们面前，但我坚信明年此时我们会获得更多的奖项，拥有更多的读者，同时也会有更大的成就感和满足感Directions:Nowlistenagain.Pleasebegininterpretingwhenyouhearabeep.1.We'vepublishedsomeveryimpressivearticles,eachmonthsomehowsurpassingthequalityanddepthofthepreviousmonth’sedition.2.Ourcreativeandtalentedstaffwonfivewritingawardsandsevenphotographicawards.Thisyearsome119,000peoplesubscribedtoourmagazine.3.Aboutsixyearsagowehadanideaforanature-orientedmagazine,butweallhaddoubtsaboutthegeneralacceptanceoftheidea,whethertherewouldbeenoughinterestfrompeopletosustainus.4.Today,it’sawonderfulfeelingtoknowthatwehavesucceeded,andeveryoneheresharesthecreditformakingthismagazinewhatithasbecome.5.Whileitisaformidabletaskforusall,I’msurethatnextyearatthistimewe’llhavemoreawards,andmoresubscribers,andfeelanevengreatersenseofaccomplishmentandfulfillment.TaskTwo:InterpretingfromChineseintoEnglishDirections:Pleasedonotdointerpretingwhenyoulistentothespeechthistime.龙城市市长在“老城保护与更新国际研讨会”闭幕式上的讲话各位专家、各位来宾：“老城保护与更新国际研讨会“经过与会代表两天来的共同努力已经顺利完成预定的议程。会议期间，来自不同国家和地区的专家、学者畅所欲言、各抒己见，积极地为搞好老城保护与更新献计献策.在此，我代表市委、市政府对各位专家的辛勒劳动表示衷心的感谢。随着中国现代化进程的加快，
