Passage 1

Passage 1
合作与交流应当是双向的。我认为,我们应当处理好竞争与合作的关系。合作比竞争更为有利。//
然而,我们注意到中国对海外的报道与西方媒体对中国的报道,两者之间存在明显的失衡。 在中国,人们能够观看有关国外的各种报道,而在西方国家,人们很少看到正面报道关于中国经济发展和社会进步方面的节目。//
我认为产生这一现象有多种原因。但是我相信,通过加强合作与交流,这种不平衡的状况终将得到改变。//
Cooperation and communication should be mutual. I think we should do well with the relationship between competition and cooperation. Actually, cooperation is more beneficial to us than competition.//
However, (as we have noticed/ as we were aware,) there is a marked imbalance between China’s report on foreign countries and the reports on China by western media.//
In China, people can watch different programs about foreign countries. But you can find very few positive programs about China’s economic development and social progress in western countries.// I think that there are many reasons for this phenomenon. But I believe that enhanced cooperation and exchanges can eventually change this unbalanced situation.

Mr. Mayor, let me thank you for the opportunity to share some thoughts about how to ensure Shanghai’s position as a world center of innovation in the near future.//
We have already recognized the importance of innovation to Shanghai’s economic growth and prosperity. You have articulated a strategy that places technological innovation capacity at the top of the agenda.//
Innovation is the lifeblood of a country and business—there is no future without it. We have to think of innovation as more than basic science or new laboratory equipment.//
Innovation is the creation of value through new products or services, technologies and business models. And it requires strong leadership, a long term strategy and people who are committed to innovation.
市长先生,首先感谢您给我这个机会来谈一下我对如何确保上海在不远的未来成为世界级创新中心的看法。
我们已经意识到创新对于上海经济发展和繁荣的重要意义。您已阐明了(上海的)发展战略,那就是将技术创新能力(的提升)置于一切工作之首。
创新是国家的生命线,也是企业的生命线。没有创新就没有未来。创新不仅仅是基础科学研究的投入,也不仅仅是新实验设备的购置。
创新是通过新产品、新服务、新技术和新商业模式的开发而创造的价值。创新需要坚强有力的领导、长期的战略和致力创新的人才。
