Flashcards: Chinadaily

Autumn Equinox 

在最前沿

high-value added products 

China does not want a trade war, but it is not afraid of one and will fight one if necessary. China's position on this has never changed.

China-Us trade disputes 

The escalation of China-Us trade disputes is not in the interests of either side and will slow down the world's economy.

intellectual property

Historical records confirm that China's achievements in scientific and technological innovation are not something we stole or forcibly took from others; they were earned through self-reliance and hard work. Accusing China of stealing intellectual property to support its own development is an unfounded fabrication.

multilateralism 

free trade system 

By doing so, China is not only defending its own legitimate rights and interests, but also safeguarding multilateralism and the free trade system.

domestic demand 

Domestic demand has become the main driving force for growth. Last year, consumption contributed 76.2 percent of China's economic growth.

external risks 

We have the confidence and capability to guard against any external risks and impacts. 

Gross Domestic Product

In the first quarter this year, China's GDP grew by 6.4 percent year-on-year, which is more than what was expected.

EU European Union 

ASEAN   Association of Southeast Asian Nations 

From January to April this year, China's imports and exports increased by 4.3 percent year-on-year, with a dramatic rise in exports to the EU and ASEAN. 

trade deficit 

The Chinese and American economies are highly integrated and together constitute an entire industrial chain. The two economies are bound in a union that is mutually beneficial and win-win in nature. Suggesting that a trade deficit shows that one side is being taken advantage of is incorrect. 

impose additional tarriffs 

The US administration has imposed additional tarriffs on Chinese goodd exported to the US, which impedes two-way trade and investment cooperation and undermines market confidence and economic stability both in the two countries and globally.

trade protectionist measures 

industrial chains 

supply chains 

The trade protectionist measures taken by the US go against the WTO rules, damage the multilateral trading system, seriously disrupt global industrial chains and supply chains, undermine market confidence, and pose a serious challenge to global economic recovery and a major threat to the trend of economic globalization.

equality and mutual benefit 

In regards to equality and mutual benefit, we must ensure that the two sides in the consultations operate on equal footing, that results are mutually beneficial, and that any final agreement is a win-win one.

deepen reform and opening-up

China will continue to deepen reform and opening-up. China's door will not be closed; it will only open even wider.

rare earth

We should put more effort in scientific and technological innovation to raise the technological level of exploitation of rare earths, which is strategically important but nonrenewable.

unreliable entities

the spirit of contract 

“The 'unreliable entities' will target companies, people, and organizations that fail to abide by market rules, violate the spirit of contract, block Chinese companies' legitimate rights,” said Gao Feng, spokesman of the Ministry of Commerce.

5G/ 5th generation mobile networks 

5G is the only technology fast enough to allow so many devices to connect at such high speeds. The development of these technologies will be worthwhile.

commercial license 

The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued commercial licenses for 5G on June 6. The nation's three major telecommunications carriers-China Mobile, China Unicom and China Telecom-as well as the state-owned China Broadcasting Network Corp, received the first four 5G commercial licenses.

emerging technologies 

driverless vehicles 

5G is expected to form the backbone of emerging technologies such as the Internet of Things(IoT) and machine-to-machine communications, thereby supporting a much larger range of applications and services, including driverless vehicles, tele-surgery and real time data analytics. 

Internet of Things(IoT)

artificial intelligence 

The 13 new professions are mainly in areas of high technology, including artificial intelligence, Internet of Things(IoT), big data, drone navigation and e-sports, which require more knowledge and superior skills. 

cutting-edge technologies

These cutting-edge technologies will be key driving forces in the future development of smart homes, the internet of vehicles, and automatic driving.

virtual reality(VR)

augmented reality (AR)

With 5G, we'll see AR and VR popping up in our cars, on our phones, and on our computer screens. It will become a part of everyday life. 

smart city

Noting that China and Germany are not rivals nor adversaries, Xi Jinping said seeking win-win results through cooperation is the main thread in China-Germany ties, and urged the two sides to boost cooperation in such fields as artificial intelligence, automatic driving, new materials, new engery, life science and smart city.

Ren Zhengfei said "it would be fine" even if Qualcomm and other suppliers refuse to sell chips to Huawei. "We have already been preparing for this," he said.

Ren Zhengfei shot down the possibility of producing 5G equipment on American soil." Even if the US asks us to manufacture over there, we will not go," said Huawei's chief.

Earlier this week, Huawei was added to the US Bureau of Industry and Security's so-called "Entity List". 

Huawei Technologies' founder and chief executive blasted the Trump administration's decision to add his company to a govenment blacklist, insisting Huawei has done nothing illegal.

"It is expected that Huawei's growth may slow, but only slightly," said Ren Zhengfei, citing the potential of annual revenue growth undershooting 20%. undershootv.未达跑道着陆;n.负脉冲信号，下冲;

Ren Zhengfei, founder and CEO of Huawei, said that the US government's 90-day extension "doesn't mean much," and added that the company was ready to deal with the ban.

He Tingbo said the company has been preparing for it for several years, and that Huawei has been creating "spare tires"— apparently referring to extra components that would allow the compan to survive if the US cut off the fresh supply.

China opposes the act of any country to impose unilateral sanctions on Chinese entities based on its domestic laws and to abuse export control measures while making"national security" a catch-all phrase.

The US has alleged that Huawei and other Chinese companies pose security risks, but has never produced any convincing evidence.

As we repeatedly said, it is disgraceful and immoral for the US to employ state power to target a private Chinese company on trumped-up charges. Such behavior is beneath the country's status as a major world power. 

According to the China Scholarship Council, 182 government-funded students and scholars failed to get into the US because of visa restrictions from January to March— 13.5 percent of the total. 

The alert states that the visa applications of some Chinese hoping to study in the United States have recently been restricted with an extended review process, shortened validity period, and an increased rejection rate, which have affected their plans to begin to study in the United States or complete their studies there.

Visa applicants to the United States are required to submit all information about social media accounts they have used in the past five years under a State Department policy that started on May 31, 2019.

US law enforcement agencies have harassed Chinese citizens traveling to or leaving the country through entry-and-exit interrogations and "drop-in" interviews, the Foreign Ministry said, advising people to call the embassy or local consulate in cse of emergency.

The US imposes visa restrictions on Chinese students studying in certain disciplines.

The Ministry of Culture and Tourism issued a tourism reminder, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Chinese Embassy and consulates in the US decided to issue the safety reminder to raise safety awareness. 

Noting the frequent occurrence of shootings, robberies and theft in the United States recently, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism warned Chinese tourists to fully assess the risks of traveling there. Chinese tourists are urged to learn about the information about public security situation and related laws and regulations of tourist destinations, to raise safety awareness and step up precaution to stay safe.

This means American firms will need to get a license from the government to sell or transfer technology to Huawei.

Only 3.2 percent of the total 10313 government-funded students and scholars were unable to go to the US as a result of visa restrictions in 2018.

The US falsely accuses Confucius Institues of being a tool to expand political influence and spread Chinese values.

The exam,commonly known as the gaokao, is deemed the most important determining factor for the future of Chinese students. It is praised as a fair system to select talent and change the fate of children from poor families. 

“Gaokao migrants”- a reference to students who register to take the exam in a province other than their own, hoping to boost their chances of admission to a top university —— is a widely recognized phenomenon in China.

Gaokao migrants reflect the imbalance of education resources between regions, and education authorities should continue to bridge the gap and provide more high-quality education to less-developed regions.

The exam should test all-round qualities such as morality, and reduce testing of knowledge by rote, aiming to facilitate students' key abilities and core qualities in teaching and examination, the Ministry of Education said in April.

independent enrollment 

Universities are expected to add a physical exam for independent enrollment in the hope that students will view physical activity as more important. 

Eight provincial-level regions participated in gaokao reform this year. This changes will affect students who entered high schools in fall 2018 or later in Hebei, Liaoning, Jiangsu, Fujian, Hubei, Hunan, Guangdong and Chongqing. 

Beijing has combined its first and second batches of universities for students to apply to but allows students to apply to up to 16 universities and 6 majors at each. 

China's medical colleges will enroll 6700 rural students this year. They will work for rural health centers in central and western China upon graduation.

Students from China's rural and poor areas will continue to enjor favorable policies when they apply for major universities in 2019.

In Pre-Qin Days over 2000 years ago

loving people and treating neighbors kindly are most valuable to a country  古文的翻译用解释的方法

Chinese actor Zhai Tianlin, who has a PhD from Beijing Film Academy and is a postdoctoral candidate at Peking University, found himself in hot water recently after allegations of plagiarism.

Beijing Film Academy has revoked the doctoral degreee of actor Zhai Tianlin after he was found to have commited academic misconduct, the academy announced on Tuesday.

Beijing Film Academy said that it has organized an investigative team to look into Zhai's case and has zero tolerance for academic misconduct. 

CNKI is the largest and most widely-used online academic library in China for university students writing theses and dissertations.  CNKI  China National Knowdedge Infrastructure 中国知网

A Sina Weibo blogger uploaded a paper by Zhai Tianlin, which was published in an academic journal, to a plagiarism software platform and the similarity score for the 2,783-word article was 40.4%. 

Another post by the same blogger claimed that Zhai Tianlin's doctoral graduation dissertation could not be found in the CNKI data base, while all the graduation dissertations written by his classmates could be found there.

According to the laws on higher education, there are principles about academic performance but not specifically about punishment for offenders.  主语过长，所以单独翻译（放在了句首）

Students suspected of plagiarism are commonly punished according to the regulations of their own academic institutions. 

Zhai Tianlin's supervisor, Chen Yi, also showed negligence on academic ethics and standards and failed to guide and review the dissertation in a responsible manner, the academy said. 

The scandal goes against his longstanding "good husband" public image. 

He is trying to sell his public persona as a good husband again.

By the beautiful Guishui River and at the foot of the majestic Great Wall, we are very glad to welcome all the distinguished guests to the opening of the International Horticultural Exhibition 2019 Beijing China. 

It is our hope that this Expo Park, designed to blend into its splendid surrounding landscape, will show the world our vision of green development.

Ecological conservation has become part of China's overall plan for national development. Building a beautiful China is an inspiring goal for the Chinese people. As China steps up its conservation efforts, the world will seee a China with more blue skies, lush mountains, and lucid waters. 

We need to advocate for harmony betwenn man and nature. Lush mountains, green fields, singing birds, and blossoming flowers offer more than beauty to the eye. They are the basis for future development.

We must maintain the overall balance of the Earth's eco-system, so that our children and our grandchildren will not only have material wealth but also enjoy starry skies, green mountains, and sweet flowers. 

To create an eco-system where all elements coexist in harmony, we need to follow the laws of nature, base our efforts on scientific planning, adopt a holistic approach to conservation, and fator in local conditions.  holistic 整体的;全面的;功能整体性的

I have always said that green mountains and lucid waters are indeed mountains of gold and silver, and that environmental improvement means greater productivity. 

A sound environment promises great economic potential, generates good returns, and contributes to economic and social sustainability. 

We need to promote a simpler, greener and low-carbon lifestyle, oppose excessiveness and foster a culture of living green and healthy. 

Only together can we effectively address climate change, marine pollution, biological conservation and other global environmental issues and achieve the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development Goals. 

The deveopment model of "killing the hens for eggs" and "draining the lake for fish" is at a dead end. 

The Conference on Dialogue of Asian Civilizations is convened just for this purpose, as it creates a new platform for civilizations in Asia and beyond to engage in dialogue and exchanges on an equal footing to facilitate mutual learning.

The world today is moving towards greater multi-polarity, economic gloabalization and cultural diversity, and is becoming increasingly information-oriented. All this points to promising prospects for the future. 

The great Asian civilizations have a special place in the annals of world civilizations, and they have increased the diversity of human civilizations.  annal ['ænəl]  (常复数annals) 编年史；年表the recorded events of one year 

Asia is home to one of the earliest human settlements and is an important cradle of human civilization. This vast and beautiful continent covers one-third of the earth's land mass and has two-thirds of the world's population. It has more than 1,000 ethnic groups living in 47 countries.

Our forefathers in Asia have long engaged in inter-civilizational exchanges and mutual learning. The ancient trade routes — most notably the Silk Road, the Tea Road and the Spice Road — brought silk, tea, porcelain, spices, paintings, and sculptures to all corners of Asia, and witnessed inter-civilizational dialogue in the form of trade and cultural interflow.

China is ready to work with other countries to protect Asian cultural heritage and better preserve and sustain our civilizations.  

Chinese inventions such as papermaking, gunpowder, printing and the compass, along with China's astronomical knowledge, calendar system, philosophy, and the people-centered doctrine, have all had a global impact and propelled the development of human civilizations. 

Think of what Asia stands to offer in terms of religion, philosophy, ethic code, law, literature, painting, drama, music, and even the building of towns and villages. They speak volumes for Asia's proud achievements: extensive systems of social customs, immortal classics that have endured for millennia, the fine pool of exquisite art, and diverse institutions, among others. All these offer rich choices for civilizations the world over to draw on. 

Closer people-to-people exchanges and mutual learning, for that matter, is a sure way to eliminate estrangement and misunderstanding and promote mutual understanding among naitons. 

We Asian people hope that all countries will reject self-exclusion, embrace integration, uphold openness, and promote policy, infrastructure, trade, and financial and people-to-people connectivity. This way, we can jointly foster a community with a shared future for both us Asians and all humanity. 

The Conference on Dialogue of Asian Civilizations has a wide-range agenda, and I look forward to your keen perspectives and insights. By putting heads together, we will create an even better tomorrow for civilizations in Asia and beyond!
