Part Two Passage Translation

Section A

Translate the following passage from English to Chinese.

China shakes the world

Quite suddenly, or so it seemed, China became an issue of daily international importance. It is difficult to pinpoint when, exactly, that transition took place; perhaps it was late in 2003, or maybe it was early the next year. I could not be sure. In any case, it was unlikely that there would have been any single moment when everything changed. Nevertheless, in my imagination at least, there may have been a tipping point.

It occurred during the several weeks from mid February 2004 when, slowly at first but with mounting velocity, manhole covers started to disappear form roads and pavements all over the world. As Chinese demand drove up the price of scrap metal to record levels, thieves almost everywhere had the same idea. As darkness fell, they levered up the iron covers and sold them to local merchants who cut them up and loaded them onto ships to mainland China. The gravitational pull of a resurgent ‘Middle Kingdom’ was reaching the furthest sides of the world. Wherever the sun set, pilferers worked to satisfy China’s hunger. More than 150 covers disappeared during one month in Chicago. Scotland’s great drain robbery’ saw more than a hundred vanish in a few days. In Montreal, Gloucester and Kuala Lumpur, unsuspecting pedestrians stumbled into holes.

It was not the first time that a great power had telegraphed its arrival in an unusual way. The first inkling the British had of the thirteenth-century Mongol invasion of Europe, for example, was when the price of fish at Harwich, a harbour on the North Sea, rose sharply. The explanation for this, people learned later, was that the Baltic shipping fleets, abruptly enrolled sailors to fight the enemy approaching by horse from the east. That had reduced the supply of fishes to Harwich, and prices had risen accordingly.

Section B

Translate the following passage from Chinese to English.

中国与APEC其他经济体的友好合作

中国注重与APEC其他经济体的友好合作，它们是中国重要的经贸合作伙伴。2000年，中国与APEC各经济体的贸易额达到3，400多亿美元，中国新批准的从APEC各经济体引进的外资金额超过300亿美元，都超过了中国对外贸易、引进外资总量的70%。中国同样鼓励有条件的国内企业到境外投资和经营，积极参与国际竞争与合作，中国的对外投资也主要集中在APEC各地区。

目前，中国加入世界贸易组织在即；中国市场与世界市场更加紧密地融为一体，中国的经济发展也将更加依赖与世界其他国家和地区——特别是亚太地区——的经济往来与合作。开放的中国离不开时间；入市之后，中国将恪守承诺，以更加积极的姿态推进全方位、多层次、宽领域的对外合作和开放。
