If there is one thing that Colorado is known for, it’s great snow, and one of the best places to experience the Rocky Mountain（落基山） powder is at Loveland Ski Resort（“爱之地”滑雪场）. One of the most popular destinations for locals, Loveland offers 1,365 acres of terrain that ranges from mild, beginner-friendly to wild, experts-only and is the tenth largest ski resort in Colorado. The onsite restaurant is the perfect place to enjoy hot soups, hearty（丰盛的） sandwiches and tasty Mexican food when lunch and dinnertime roll around（到来）, and sunny days are celebrated by a succulent（美味多汁的） outdoor barbecue. Loveland is the closest ski resort to Denver and is located just before the Eisenhower Tunnel（艾森豪威尔隧道） in the beautiful Arapaho National Forest（阿拉帕霍国家森林公园）.

Loveland typically receives more snow than its neighboring areas. Situated at the top of the Continental Divide next to Interstate 70 provides Loveland with snow from western storms as well as Denver's upslope（坡地）. While known as a cold windy area by Denverites（丹佛人）, the cold aids in keeping conditions right until their closing in early May. Chair #9, Loveland's newest lift（索道）, was approved for construction back in the late 1990's and serves the Divide. Reaching over 12,700 feet, #9 provides a high-alpine（高山） skiing experience unparalled in the Front Range. On a powder day, ride #9 to get first tracks（痕迹） in the wind protected Patrol Bowl（巡逻峰）. Three days after a storm, take a short hike on Summit Ridge（峰脊） for deep powder.

The Salt Lake Temple is the largest (of more than 130 around the world) and best-known temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints（后期圣徒）. It is the fourth operating temple built since the Mormon exodus（逃亡） from Nauvoo, Illinois. The Salt Lake Temple is the centerpiece of the 10 acre (40,000 m²) Temple Square in Salt Lake City, Utah. Although there are no public tours inside the temple (because it is considered sacred by the church and its members, a temple recommend is required), the temple grounds are open to the public and are a popular tourist attraction.

盐湖教堂是盐湖城的标志，也是全世界摩门教徒的圣地。教堂兴建于1853年，完工于1893年，是一座典雅古朴的哥德式筑物。摩门教徒在创教之时，因与传统基督教教义相左，曾被视为邪教。西元1847年受迫害的摩门教徒在先知布莱汉•杨(Brigham Young)率领下，从美国东部纷纷逃亡到中西部，而布莱汉•杨等人则定居此地。全城超过一半的人口是摩门教徒，所以市容相当整洁，甚至犯罪率也相当低，到处是浓厚的宗教氛围。

Korean War Veterans Memorial(韩战纪念碑)

2009-12-13T10:08:00.001-04:00

By Freelance Chinese Translator Li – English to Chinese translation or Chinese to English translation services - based in Harbin，China.

The Korean War Veterans Memorial was authorized by Public Law 99-572 on Oct. 28, 1986 "…to honor members of the United States Armed Forces who served in the Korean War, particularly those who were killed in action（战斗中、行动中）…" The law established an advisory board of 12 veterans appointed by the president to coordinate all aspects of the memorial’s construction. The site is located adjacent to the Lincoln Memorial and directly across the reflecting pool from the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C.
There are 19 statues sculpted by Frank Gaylord of Barre, Vt., and cast by Tallix Foundries of Beacon, N.Y. They are approximately 7’3" tall, heroic scale and consist of 14 Army, 3 Marines, 1 Navy, 1 Air Force. They represent an ethnic cross section(横断面) of America with 12 Caucasian（高加索人、白种人）, 3 African American, 2 Hispanic（西班牙和葡萄牙人）, 1 Oriental（东方人）, 1 Indian (Native American，印第安人).
The juniper（刺柏） bushes are meant to be symbolic of the rough terrain encountered in Korea, and the granite stripes（花岗岩条石） of the obstacles overcome in the war. The Marines in column（纵队） have the helmet chin straps fastened and helmet covers. Three of the Army statues are wearing paratrooper boots and all equipment is authentic from the Korean War era (when the war started most of the equipment was WWII issue).
Three of the statues are in the woods, so if you are at the flagpole looking through the troops, you can't tell how many there are, and could be legions emerging from the woods. The statues are made of stainless steel, a reflective material（反光材质） that when seen in bright sunlight causes the figures to come to life. The blowing ponchos（斗篷） give motion to the column, so you can feel them walking up the hill with the cold winter wind at their backs, talking to one another. At nighttime the fronts of the statues are illuminated with a special white light; the finer details of the sculpture are clearly seen and the ghosts appear(亡灵显现).

华盛顿韩战纪念碑，准确地说，是一个小小的纪念园。由三部分组成，一部分是19个与真人尺度相仿的美国军人雕塑，那种写实令人感到震撼。这些雕像撒开在一片长满青草的开阔地上，正在搜索前进。他们头戴钢盔，身着雨披，表情复杂：无柰？紧张？恐惧？警惕？战地的残酷气氛弥漫四周。这是一群普通的士兵，是韩战中无数美国大兵的缩影。他们的战靴，此刻就结结实实地踏在这片开阔地上，可以想像，当烈日炎炎，狂风扫过，暴雨倾注，或当皑皑冬雪覆盖在草地和战士们身上的时候，人们对于战争的严酷和士兵生命的危在旦夕，会发出怎样强烈的感叹！
第二部分是一座黑色的花岗岩纪念墙。上面隐现着浅浅蚀刻的许多士兵的面容，都是依据韩战新闻照片中美军士兵的真实记录。纪念墙是磨光的，开阔地塑像群因此而映射在墙面上。随著人们脚步移动，两组形象便流动地、互为背景地融合在一起。让人们仿佛置身于硝烟弥漫、血肉横飞的战场。纪念墙的尽头是整个纪念园的点睛之笔“freedom is not free（自由总需要代价）”。
第三部分是一组置于地面的方碑。雕塑群正前的方碑上刻着：“我们的国家以她的儿女为荣，他们响应召唤，去保卫一个他们从未见过的国家，去保卫他们素不相识的人民。

The Washington Monument is an obelisk near the west end of the National Mall in Washington, D.C., built to commemorate the first U.S. president, General George Washington. The monument, made of marble, granite, and sandstone, is both the world's tallest stone structure and the world's tallest obelisk, standing 555 feet 5⅛ inches (169.294 m). It is also the tallest structure in Washington D.C.. It was designed by Robert Mills, an architect of the 1840s. The actual construction of the monument began in 1848 but was not completed until 1884, almost 30 years after the architect's death. This hiatus（中断） in construction happened because of a lack of funds, and the intervention of the American Civil War. A difference in shading（明暗） of the marble, visible approximately 150 feet (46 m or 27%) up, shows where construction was halted for a number of years. The cornerstone was laid on July 4, 1848; the capstone（顶石） was set on December 6, 1884, and the completed monument was dedicated on February 21, 1885. Upon completion, it became the world's tallest structure, a title previously held by the Cologne Cathedral. The monument held this designation（称号） until 1889, when the Eiffel Tower was completed in Paris, France. The monument stands due east（正东） of the Reflecting Pool and the Lincoln Memorial.

华盛顿纪念碑是为纪念美国首任总统乔治•华盛顿而建造的，位于国会大厦、林肯纪念堂的轴线之上。这座华盛顿特区的标志建筑，碑身上没有一个字母，仿佛在告诉人们，华盛顿一生的伟业是难以用文字来表达的。　
华盛顿纪念碑是一座大理石方尖碑，底部面积为39平方米，高169米，正方体碑柱顶端为四面三角形的尖顶，锐气逼人。纪念碑内部中空，其内壁上嵌有各个国家、美国各州市、各大团体及众多名人所赠的石碑188块。
纪念碑内有50层铁梯，也有70秒到达顶端的高速电梯。透过顶部的8个观景窗，可纵览国家草坪的全景，还可眺望华盛顿全城、弗吉尼亚州、马里兰州和波托马克河。

The United States Capitol is among the most symbolically important and architecturally impressive buildings in the nation. It has housed the meeting chambers of the House of Representatives（众议院） and the Senate（参议院） for two centuries. It stands today as a monument to the American people and their government.
The cornerstone was laid by President Washington on September 18, 1793. The Capitol has been built, burnt, rebuilt, extended, and restored ever since then. Today, the Capitol covers a ground area（占地面积） of 175,170 square feet and has a floor area(房屋面积) of about 16.5 acres. In addition to its use by Congress, the Capitol is a museum of American art and history. It stands as a focal point of the government's legislative branch（立法部门） and as a centerpiece of Capitol Hill and the National Mall.

国会大厦（United States Capitol）是美国国会所在地，位于美国首都华盛顿哥伦比亚特区（Washington.D.C）。它占据全市最高地势，是华盛顿最美丽、最壮观的建筑。美国人把国会大厦称为Capitol，作为民有、民治、民享政权（the government of the people, by the people, for the people）的最高象征。“这里，人民在统治”（here, sir, the people govern）——美国开国元勋汉密尔顿（Alexander Hamilton）的名言。美国联邦最高立法机关——国会（包括参众两院）在这里开会办公、通过各种法律法案。据说，美国官方曾明文规定首都所有建筑物，其高度都不得超过国会大厦。
国会大厦于１７９３年９月１８日由华盛顿总统亲自奠基，１８００年投入使用。后增建了参众两院会议室、穹顶和圆形大厅。国会大厦南北长２１４米，东西宽１０７米。主要采用精美大理石建造，具有新古典主义风格。穹顶最高处是一座铜铸的武装自由女神像。白天从远处眺望，大厦犹如绿绒毯上矗立的一座玲珑剔透的象牙雕刻。晚上衬着黑黝黝的天幕，灯火通明的乳白色大厦犹如天上宫阙。
圆形大厅(Rotunda)的巨型铜门，被称为哥伦布门（Columbus Doors），上面是描述哥伦布发现新大陆的浮雕。大厅内部空间高旷宏敞，金碧辉煌。四周墙壁上挂着８幅巨大的油画，展现了美国的发展史。抬头仰望，可见风格浪漫的穹顶画，中央绘着“华盛顿之神”（Apotheosis of Washington），两边是胜利女神和自由女神，另有１３位女神，分别代表立国１３州。大厅内还陈列着华盛顿、杰斐逊和林肯等历史名人的雕像。
国会大厦北翼是参议院办公地，南翼则属于众议院。众议院会议厅正面墙壁上悬挂着一面硕大的美国国旗。国旗前面是议长的席位，再向前是记录席和发言席，美国总统每年就是在这座大厅里宣读国情咨文。参议院会议厅规模稍小，用大理石、红木和锦缎装饰，显得更加庄严、气派。

Vietnam Veterans Memorial(越战纪念碑)

The Vietnam Veterans Memorial is a national war memorial in Washington, D.C. It honors members of the U.S. armed forces who fought in the Vietnam War and who died in service（英勇殉职）. Its construction and related issues have been the source of controversies（争议）, some of which have resulted in additions to the memorial complex. The memorial currently consists of three separate parts: the Three Soldiers statue, the Vietnam Women's Memorial, and the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall, which is the best-known part of the memorial.
The memorial was inspired by Jan Scruggs, an infantryman（步兵） who served in Vietnam with the U.S. Army's 199th Light Infantry Brigade（轻步兵旅）. In March 1979, he saw The Deer Hunter（一部电影）, which reminded him "of the people he'd seen suffer and die in Vietnam". That night he decided to build a memorial with the names of everyone killed in the Vietnam War.
The main part of the memorial, which was completed in 1982, is in Constitution Gardens adjacent to the National Mall, just northeast of the Lincoln Memorial. The memorial is maintained by the U.S. National Park Service（国家公园管理局）, and receives around 3 million visitors each year. The Memorial Wall was designed by U.S. landscape architect（景观设计师） Maya Lin. In 2007, it was ranked tenth on the "List of America's Favorite Architecture" by the American Institute of Architects.

美国首都华盛顿的越战纪念碑（Vietnam Veterans Memorial）是为了纪念越战时期英勇牺牲的美国战士。闪闪生辉的黑色大理石墙上，按照战士们慷慨赴义的时间先后列出名单。自从1982年“老兵纪念日”那天起，越战纪念碑就成了华盛顿特区最受游人喜欢的去处之一。纪念碑长500英尺，整体呈V字型，在华盛顿纪念碑和林肯纪念堂之间形成一道独特的风景线。上面镌刻着57,000多名1959年至1975年之间在越南阵亡将士的名字。越战老兵纪念碑已经成为普通美国人寄托哀思的地方。
尽管这座纪念碑建在联邦土地上，但其建设资金全部由私人捐助。当时，全美共提交了1,400份设计方案，耶鲁大学21岁的建筑专业学生玛雅•林的设计方案脱颖而出。虽然这个设计在当年一度引发争议，但今天在人们心目中该纪念碑已成为衡量其它纪念碑的评价标准之一。越战纪念碑是AIA名单中女性设计师排名最前的作品，也是2007年AIA “二十五年大奖”得主，该奖项用于表彰在25~35年前设计建造的杰出建筑物。

The term White House is regularly used as a metonym（代名词，换喻） for the Executive Office of the President of the United States and for the president's administration and advisors in general. In 2007, it was ranked second on the American Institute of Architects's list of "America's Favorite Architecture."

白宫(White House)是美国的总统府，它位于华盛顿特区宾夕法尼亚大道南侧。1792年10月13日，华盛顿总统亲自破土安放基石，至1800年建成。第二届总统约翰•亚当斯(John Adams)首先入住。1902年由西奥多•罗斯福(Theodore Roosevelt)正式命名为“白宫”，又称之为天字第一号讲坛(Bully Pulpit)。现在白宫由主楼、东翼、西翼3个独立的建筑物组成。主楼的底层是“中国厅”，陈列着历届总统用过的中国餐具。二楼为总统全家的住所。东翼包括剧院及一些办公室。西翼主要是总统及其工作人员的办公地。国宴厅宽阔高雅，能容纳140人就餐。最早的“椭圆形办公室”建于1909年，天花板是总统印章的浮雕。总统办公桌是1880年维多利亚女王赠给拉瑟福德•B•海德的，用女王陛下“果敢”号船上的木材制成，以承认1855年美国营救在北极水域内失踪的“果敢”号所做出的努力。桌面上有里根总统保存的一件饰物，上面写着他喜欢的一句话：“如果一个人不在乎由谁来获得荣誉，那么他能做的事和能去的地方将永无止境。”
白宫院内到处是草坪、树木、花丛和喷泉，景色十分幽雅。白宫北大门为爱奥尼亚式的门廊(Ionic Portico)，正对着拉斐特公园(Lafayette Park)；南大门外有半圆形排列的柱廊。白宫主要房间有：图书室(Reading Room)；金器室(the Goldware Room)；瓷器室(the Chinaware Room)；外交官接待室(the Diplomatic Reception Room)；陈列室(the State Floor，国家展室)；东厅(the East Room)用于招待新闻记者；绿厅(the Green Room)是非正式的会客厅；蓝厅(the Blue Room)为贵宾休息室；红厅(the Red Room)，总统夫人在此接见来客；国宴厅(the State Dining Room)，用于举办国宴的地方。二楼和三楼多数是总统的住宅，总统办公室连接玫瑰园(the Rose Garden)的密室。

The Thomas Jefferson Memorial is a presidential memorial in Washington, D.C. that is dedicated to Thomas Jefferson, an American Founding Father（美国国父） and the third president of the United States. The neoclassical building was designed by John Russell Pope.
Composed of circular marble steps, a portico（柱廊）and a shallow dome, the building is open to the elements. Pope made references to the Roman Pantheon（万神殿） and Jefferson's own design for the Rotunda（圆形大厅） at the University of Virginia. It is situated in West Potomac Park, on the shore of the Tidal Basin of the Potomac River. The Jefferson Memorial, and the White House located directly north, form one of the main anchor points（重要景点） in the area of the National Mall in D.C. In 2007, it was ranked fourth on the List of America's Favorite Architecture by the American Institute of Architects.The current site of the Memorial was originally created using landfill（泥沙） dredged from the Potomac River in the late 1800s.

纪念堂按杰斐逊喜爱的古罗马神殿式圆顶建筑风格设计，是一座高96英尺的白色大理石建筑。大厅中央耸立着高近6米的杰斐逊总统立身铜像。身后的石壁上，镌刻着杰斐逊生前的名言：“我已经在上帝圣坛前发过誓，永远反对笼罩着人类心灵的任何形式的暴政。” 每年四月，纪念馆旁的潮汐湖畔樱花盛开，配上湖中纪念馆的倒影，景色十分秀丽。
为了纪念杰斐逊而建造的这座洁白的、以科林斯石柱环绕的圆顶建筑本身也成了经典之作。整座纪念堂典雅纯洁，外周共有54根巨大的花岗岩石柱，给人一种沉静、安详的感觉。纪念堂的北面是大斜坡状的台阶，游人至此都需仰望，可见门廊处庄严的大理石浮雕组。圆形主厅直径82英尺（约25米），地面铺以粉色和灰色相间的田纳西大理石。四周环绕着16根13米多高的石柱。高达5.8米（19英尺）的黑色杰斐逊铜像矗立在大理石基座上，是整个圆形纪念堂的中心。

Located on a 12 acre island, the Statue of Liberty Enlightening the World was a gift of friendship from the people of France to the people of the United States and is a universal symbol of freedom and democracy. The Statue of Liberty was designated as a National Monument in 1924. It represents a woman wearing a stola（古罗马长袍）, a radiant crown and sandals, trampling a broken chain, carrying a torch in her raised right hand and a tabula（书板）, where the date of the Declaration of Independence JULY IV MDCCLXXVI is inscribed, in her left arm. Standing on Liberty Island in New York Harbor, it welcomes visitors, immigrants, and returning Americans traveling by ship. Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi sculpted the statue and obtained a U.S. patent for its structure. Maurice Koechlin—designer of the Eiffel Tower—engineered the internal structure. The pedestal（基座） was designed by architect Richard Morris Hunt.

自由女神像（Statue of Liberty），又称“自由照耀世界”（Liberty Enlightening the World），是法国在1876年赠送给美国的独立100周年礼物。位于美国纽约市哈德逊河口附近的自由岛上，象征着美国人民争取自由的崇高理想。自由女神像重45万磅，高46米，底座高45米，是当时世界上最高的纪念性建筑。女神头戴光芒四射的冠冕，身着罗马古代长袍，右手高擎长达12米的火炬，左手紧抱一部象征《美国独立宣》的书板。脚上残留着被挣断了的锁链，象征暴政统治已被推翻。花岗岩构筑的神像基座上，镌刻着美国女诗人埃玛•娜莎罗其的一首脍炙人口的小诗。游人可从铜像底部乘电梯直达基座顶端，然后沿着神像内部的171级盘旋式阶梯登上顶部的冠冕处。

Times Square is a major intersection in New York City in the borough of Manhattan and was named after the Times Building (now “One Time Square”) which was the former offices of The New York Times. It is located at Broadway and Seventh Avenue. Like city squares in many other famous cities around the world, Times Square has become a symbol and primary landmark in its home city. Its animated, digital advertisements help create an incredibly exciting vibe（共鸣） contributing to Times Square popularity to both tourists, locals and the Manhattan business community (it is the only neighborhood that actually requires building owners to display illuminated signs!!). Times Square is also home or adjacent to many of the Broadway theatres that feature some of the most popular award winning productions ever produced.

纽约时报广场得名于《纽约时报》早期在此设立的总部大楼，是美国纽约市曼哈顿的一块三角形街区，中心位于西42街与百老汇大道交会处。附近聚集了近40家商场和剧院，是繁盛的娱乐及购物中心。平均每天约七万人次的高密度人流，一同感受那膨胀到无限的缤纷世界。无论白天和黑夜，您都会被那些巨幅的电子广告牌招引——24小时不停地以几秒钟一次的速度变换着广告短片。似乎是华尔街老板们着意借这块三角地带疯狂而又极富艺术性地彰显着他们的豪富。那半园柱型的NASDAQ巨幅广告，变幻着黑蓝红的冷热面孔，又似乎在告示着世界金融中心股市的莫测风云。广告的商业金融气息与高科技艺术手段在这里得到完美的统一。

The Rockefeller Center complex was built during the Great Depression, providing much needed work for New Yorkers, as well as reflecting the art deco styling popular during the time. Rockefeller Center was revolutionary at the time introducing the idea of incorporating art work , parking garages, and centralized heating.
Top of the Rock is an observatory(观景台). The upper decks are 850 feet above street level. Views include some of the city’s most prominent landmarks from the Chrysler Building to the Brooklyn Bridge and from Central Park to the Hudson and East Rivers。
The Christmas tree that adorns Rockefeller Center is typically a Norway Spruce. The minimum requirement is that the tree be 65 feet tall and 35 feet wide. Over five miles of lights are used to decorate the tree every year. The tree is recycled and the 3 tons of mulch(护根) are donated to the Boy Scouts. The largest portion of the trunk is donated to the U.S. Equestrian team in New Jersey to use as an obstacle jump（障碍赛）.
Ice skating at Rockefeller Center is a quintessential（精髓） New York City winter experience. The Ice Skating Rink at Rockefeller Center first opened on Christmas Day in 1936. It can accommodate approximately 150 skaters at a time and the rink is 122 feet long and 59 feet wide.

洛克斐勒中心(Rockfeller Center)号称是20世纪最伟大的都市计划之一。这块区域占地22英亩，由19栋建筑围塑而成。包括办公楼、商场、餐厅、服饰店、银行、邮局、书店等的完整规划，使其成为继华尔街之后纽约第二个市中心（DOWNTOWN）。洛克斐勒中心主楼高260米，共有70层，楼顶上是著名的观景平台。洛克菲勒中心是由大块石灰石建成的，而站在观景台上脚下就是巨石垒起的“山”，因此观景台又被称为“巨石之顶”。四周是2米多高的玻璃安全墙，天气晴朗时视野可及130公里，曼哈顿全城风光尽收眼底。从第五大道旁较为低矮的国际大楼缓缓起伏至第六大道旁高耸的奇异电器大楼（69层楼），交错横贯之间是供市民使用的广场（海峡花园“Channel Garden”、下层广场“Lower Plaza”等）。这座迷你的小都市每天可容纳25万人次上班、观光和消费。1928年，洛克菲勒财团本想在此地建造歌剧院，然而经济大萧条带来的严重失业问题使其下定决心投资建设办公楼群，为更多人创造就业机会。整个工程建设从1931年开工，延续了近10年，为纽约创造了5万多个工作岗位。如今通用电器公司、时代华纳公司、美联社等都在这里安营扎寨。洛克菲勒中心拥有纽约最大的圣诞树。每年，纽约都会派专人像选美一样到周围各地物色新年圣诞树。既要高大挺拔、枝叶茂盛，还要长得非常匀称。其中一棵圣诞树是65年树龄的挪威云杉，高达25米，重达9吨。树上挂满了3万盏彩灯，树顶还安装了一个光芒四射的水晶“星星”，颇为壮观耀目。

Central Park is one of those places that make New York such a great place to live. The huge park, 843 acres large (341 ha，公顷), is located in the center of Manhattan. Its design is an example for city parks around the world.The park boasts several lakes, theaters, ice rinks, fountains, tennis courts, baseball fields, many playgrounds and other facilities. It is also home to the Central Park Zoo and the Metropolitan Museum of Art（大都会艺术博物馆）. Especially during the weekends, when cars are not allowed into the park, Central Park is a welcome oasis in this hectic city.

纽约中央公园（ Central Park ）号称纽约的“后花园”，面积广达 843 英亩，一块完全人造的自然景观。纽约中央公园四季皆美，春天嫣红嫩绿、夏天阳光璀璨、秋天枫红似火、冬天银白萧索。有茂密的树林、湖泊和草坪，甚至还有农场和牧场，羊儿在吃草。还有庭院、溜冰场、回转木马、露天剧场、两座小动物园、清澈的湖水、网球场、运动场、美术馆等等。草莓园(Strawberry Fields)是纪念约翰•列南的和平公园，可欣赏到世界各地的珍奇花卉。公园地下建造了公路，车辆可穿过公园，又不打扰这里的宁静。

United Nations Headquarters（联合国总部大厦）

2009-11-23T09:15:00.002-04:00

By Freelance Chinese Translator Li – English to Chinese translation or Chinese to English translation services - based in Harbin，China.

The United Nations Headquarters（联合国总部大厦） is a distinctive complex in New York City that has served as the official headquarters of the United Nations since its completion in 1950. It is located in the Turtle Bay neighborhood, on the east side of Midtown Manhattan, on spacious grounds overlooking the East River (东河).
The United Nations has three additional, subsidiary, regional headquarters or headquarter districts. These are located in Geneva (Switzerland), Vienna (Austria), and Nairobi (Kenya).
Though it is in New York City, the land occupied by the United Nations Headquarters is considered international territory（国际领土）, and its borders are First Avenue on the west, East 42nd Street to the south, East 48th Street on the north and the East River to the east.
The United Nations Headquarters complex was constructed in New York City in 1949 and 1950 beside the East River, on 17 acres (69,000 m2) of land purchased from the foremost New York real estate developer（房地产开发商） of the time, William Zeckendorf. Nelson Rockefeller arranged this purchase, after an initial offer to locate it on the Rockefeller family（洛克菲勒家族） estate of Kykuit was rejected as being too isolated from Manhattan. The $8.5 million purchase was then funded by his father, John D. Rockefeller, Jr., who donated it to the City.

著名的联合国大厦(The United Nations)，550英尺(约167.64米)高，由一组建筑师花了六年时间设计完成。总部由四幢大楼组成：大会堂、会议大厦、39层高的秘书处大楼和达格•哈马舍尔德图书馆。
四个建筑物构成的联合国总部沿着East River横跨了第42大街到第48大街的整个地区。在此地总共有5000多名联合国工作人员。参观时间是每天9:00至16:45，每隔15分钟一次，参观所需时间大约45分钟。拥有西班牙语、法语、德语、俄语、汉语及日语导游。禁止穿着无袖上衣及短裤进入。一月至二月的周六、周日不可参观。最好的地方当属地下一层购物中心，这里陈列着世界各国的艺术品供购买并且免税。只有在这里的邮局才可发行的每年五套邮票十分受欢迎。
在联合国大楼的1楼内设有服务台，有 20 种语言可供选择，要听普通话亦可，这个大厅内设有许多各会员国赠送的艺术品，可以好好地欣赏一番，另外，千万不要错过楼下的礼品部门，里面有世界各国的特色娃娃。
有票的人都可以参加联合国大会和理事会的会议——开会时间在上午10点半至下午3点半之间。领票是根据先到先拿的原则，不收费。

Wall street bull (华尔街铜牛)

2009-11-23T08:18:00.001-04:00

By Freelance Chinese Translator Li – English to Chinese translation or Chinese to English translation services - based in Harbin，China.

Charging Bull (sometimes called the Wall Street Bull or the Bowling Green Bull) is a 3,200 kg (7,000 pound) bronze sculpture by Arturo Di Modica that stands in Bowling Green park near Wall Street in New York City.
Standing 11 feet tall (and measuring 16 feet in length), the oversize sculpture depicts a bull, the symbol of aggressive financial optimism and prosperity, leaning back on its haunches and with its head lowered as if ready to charge. As author Dianne Durante described the sculpture: "The Bull's head is lowered, its nostrils flare（鼻孔张开）, and its wickedly（顽皮地） long, sharp horns are ready to gore（撞上）; it's an angry, dangerous beast. The muscular body twists to one side, and the tail is curved like a lash: the Bull is also energetic and in motion（兴奋状态）." The gleaming bronze colour and hard, metallic texture of the sculpture's surface emphasises the brute force（原始力量） of the creature depicted. The work was designed and placed so that viewers could walk around it, which also suggests the creature's own movement is unrestricted — a point reinforced by the twisting posture of the bull's body, Durante wrote. "Charging Bull, then, shows an aggressive or even belligerent（好战的） force on the move, but unpredictably.It's not far-fetched (牵强的)to say the theme is the energy, strength, and unpredictability（不可预见性）of the stock market" ."That bull is one of an edition of five", Di Modica told the New York Daily News in 1998. "I'm hoping the other four will be going to cities all over the world, whenever somebody buys them."
The sculpture is both a popular tourist destination, which draws thousands of people a day as well as "one of the most iconic images（地标） of New York" and "Wall Street icon" — an unofficial symbol of the Financial District which has appeared in television reports as an image punctuating (穿插画面) stories about optimism in the financial market.

华尔街铜牛位于美国纽约市华尔街边上的一个硕大的铜牛雕塑，身长5米、体重6300公斤，是华尔街的象征。设计者是一位来自意大利西西里岛的艺术家，他叫阿图罗•迪•莫迪卡（Arturo Di Modica）。莫迪卡来美国多年后，想做一件东西一鸣惊人，好出人头地。他有一天突然想到华尔街是世界金融的心脏，如果有自己的作品放在这里定会引人注意。于是，莫迪卡开始创作一头铜牛，打算在1989年圣诞节的时候摆在华尔街证券交易所前面，祝福股市来年一牛冲天。经过近两年的运作，莫迪卡在1989年12月15日午夜，用一辆大卡车将他这头重达6300公斤的铜牛，偷偷运到华尔街纽约证券交易所门前那棵巨大的圣诞树下面，他盼望着第二天一早会发生奇迹。次日一大早他跑到证券交易所边上，果然他的铜牛已经被记者和警察围得水泄不通，从外面根本看不到牛了。纽约市政府盛怒之下，要求莫迪卡赶紧把铜牛拉走。就在这时，百老汇大街南端的BORLINGGREEN公园的负责人找到莫迪卡，让他把铜牛放到他们的公园里。莫迪卡打算把这座雕像出售给开价最高的买主，但买主必须将公牛雕像留在原地，并将公牛雕像捐赠给纽约市。现在铜牛成为纽约市的公共财产，不准任何人买卖，莫迪卡拥有肖像权。

Wall street (华尔街)

By Freelance Chinese Translator Li – English to Chinese translation or Chinese to English translation services

Wall Street is a street in Lower Manhattan, New York City, New York, United States. It runs east from Broadway to South Street on the East River, through the historical center of the Financial District. It is the first permanent home of the New York Stock Exchange; over time Wall Street became the name of the surrounding geographic neighborhood.Wall Street is also shorthand (or a metonym，代名词) for the "influential financial interests（金融界）" of the American financial industry, which is centered in the New York City area. Several major U.S. stock and other exchanges remain headquartered on Wall Street and in the Financial District, including the NYSE, NASDAQ, AMEX（美国证交所）, NYMEX（纽约商品交易所）, and NYBOT（纽约期货交易所）.

华尔街位于纽约市曼哈顿区南部从百老汇路延伸到东河，全长不过三分之一英里，宽仅１１米。街道狭窄而短，从百老汇到东河仅有7个街区（blocks）。1792年荷兰殖民者为抵御英军侵犯而建筑一堵土墙，从东河(the East River)一直筑到哈德逊河(the Hudson River)，后沿墙形成了一条街，因而得名Wall Street。后拆除了围墙，但“华尔街”的名字却保留了下来。如今以“美国的金融中心”闻名于世。美国摩根(Morgan)财团、洛克菲勒(Rockefeller)石油大王和杜邦(E.I.du Pont de Nemours and Company)财团等开设的银行、保险、航运、铁路等公司的总部集中在这里。著名的纽约证券交易所(Stock Exchange)也在这里。

What exactly is Web design?

Web design is a process of conceptualization（概念化）, planning, modeling（设计样板）, and execution of electronic media content（电子媒体内容） delivery via Internet (or World wide Web eg. WWW) in the form of Markup language（标记语言） such as HTML suitable for interpretation（编译、译码） by Web browsers (Such as IE and Firefox) that displays as a GUI (Graphical user interface，图形化用户界面).

Improvements in browser compliance with W3C standards prompted（引发） a widespread acceptance and usage of XHTML/XML in conjunction with CSS (Cascading Style Sheets，层叠样式表) to position and manipulate web site page elements（页面元素）. See CSS examples here.

The intent of web design is to create a collection of pages that reside on（存在于） a web server/servers and present content and interactive features（交互功能） to the end user in form of Web pages. Such elements as text, bitmap（位图） images (GIFs, JPEGs, PNGs), forms（窗体） can be placed on the page using HTML/XHTML/XML tags. Displaying more complex media (vector graphics[矢量图], animations, videos, sounds) requires plug-ins（插件程序） such as Flash, QuickTime, Java run-time environment（Java运行时环境）, etc.

Custom Web Design（用户定制设计）Many web design companies use templates（模版）. This makes them less expensive, and you can choose from thousands of web design templates available online. The problem is, as with anything, you get what you pay for（付出什么，得到什么）. When using a template for your company web site, you will be sharing that design with many other companies since anyone can use that same template.

Few entrepreneurs who had a vision of bringing the rural India into the mainstream of knowledge economy have found an opportunity here - setting Rural BPOs. The trasformation of rural India started with the emergence of these Rural BPOs. The major hurdles that these BPOs faced is quality man power（高质量的人力资源）. As a result these rural BPOs have remained targeting low end jobs like data entry. SourcePilani broke the myth of rural BPOs by directly venturing into high end jobs like medical transcription（医疗转录）. SourcePilani has an advantage of being located in Pilani, Rajasthan（拉贾斯坦邦） which is just 200 km away from New Delhi a Tier-1 city which other BPOs don't have. Also Pilani being an educational hub, it has access to high quality manpower. Thus SourcePilani is a success story in rural BPO industry where it is delivering high quality services at very low costs that even the big BPOs can't dream.

Entry of IT majors（大品牌、巨头）
In 2002 Spectramind was bought by software major Wipro, and BPO by then had become mainstream like the IT Industry in India. The team that had setup Spectraming went on to start Quatrro in 2006, a BPO specializing in high end BPO/KPO services. By 2002 all major Indian software organizations were into BPO, including Infosys(Progeon), Inforlinx, HCL, Satyam( Nipuna)and Patni. By 2003 Daksh was bought out（收购） by IBM, and later in 2006 MphasiS was acquired by EDS. Even international 3rd party BPO players like Convergys and Sitel had set up shop in India, swelling the BPO movement to India. Then service arms（服务分支机构） of organizations like Accenture, IBM, Hewlett Packard, Dell also set up shop in India.

Emergence of Rural BPOs（乡村化的BPO）
Booming India Inc has lead to skyrocketing real estate and infrastructure costs in Tier-1 cities（一线城市、大城市）. BPO industry has thrived all these years because of its ability to deliver services at a low cost. Increasing infrastructure costs, real estate costs, and salaries have raised BPO costs significantly and as a result Indian BPOs in Tier-1 cities are looking at Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities for operation.

General Electric（通用电器）
In the 1990s Jack Welch was influenced by K.P. Singh, (A Delhi based realtor[美国房地产行业工会成员，房地产经纪人]) to look at Gurgaon（古尔冈） in the NCR region as a base for back office operations. Pramod Bhasin, the India head of G.E. hired Raman Roy and several of his management from American Express to start this enterprise called GECIS (GE Capital International Services). Raman for the first time tried out voice operations（语音服务） out of India（从印度）, the India operations also was the Beta site（第二版） for GE Six sigma enterprise. The results made GE ramp up（蔓延、扩大） their Indian presence and look at other locations. In 2004 GECIS was spun off as（演化成为） a separate legal entity（独立法人） by GE, called Genpact. GE has retained（保持） a 40% stake and sold a 60% stake for $500 million to two equity companies（股权投资公司）, Oak Hill Capital Partners and General Atlantic Partners.

Third party BPO's
Until G.E most of the work was being done by "captives[就是外包企业]"- a term used for in house work being done for the parent organization. In 2000 Raman Roy and some team members from GECIS quit, and with VC funding（风险资本） from Chrysalis Capital started Spectramind. At the same time an organization called EXL started in Noida（诺伊达） and Efunds started in Mumbai（孟买） and Gurgaon（古尔冈）, and Daksh in Gurgaon. However, recently most of the Indian BPO's even smaller and mid-sized ones are actually setting-up their onshore presence（在国内的影响）. Most of the serious players are actually improving the outsourced business processes by leveraging on years of experience and now some of them are directly competing with their own older clientbase（客户） by marking this transition to KPO 's（知识流程外包）.

History

Airlines
In the early 1980s several European airlines started using Delhi as a base for back office（后台办公室） operations, British Airways（英国航空公司） being one among them. The BA captive（被控制机构） was finally spun off as（演化成为） a separate organization called WNS Global Services in 2002.

Amex
In the second half of the 1980s, American Express（美国运通公司，旅游服务、金融投资等业务） consolidated（整合） its JAPAC (Japan and Asia Pacific) back office operations into New Delhi. This center was headed by Raman Roy, and has been a source of several leading names（领先人物、领先品牌） in the Indian BPO Industry（业务流程外包行业）.

Security
Before outsourcing an organization is responsible for the actions of all their staff and liable for their actions. When these same people are transferred to an outsourcer they may not change desk but their legal status（法律地位） has changed. They no-longer are directly employed or responsible to the organization. This causes legal, security and compliance issues that need to be addressed through the contract between the client and the suppliers. This is one of the most complex areas of outsourcing and requires a specialist third party adviser.

Fraud
Fraud is a specific security issue that is criminal activity whether it is by employees or the supplier staff. However, it can be disputed that the fraud is more likely when outsourcers are involved, for example about the credit card theft when there is scope（机会，余地） for fraud by credit card cloning（克隆）. In April 2005, a high-profile case（鲜明的案例，典型案例） involving the theft of $350,000 from four Citibank customers occurred when call center workers acquired the passwords to customer accounts and transferred the money to their own accounts opened under fictitious names（假名）. Citibank did not find out about the problem until the American customers noticed discrepancies（差异） with their accounts and notified the bank.

The U.S.
'Outsourcing' became a popular political issue in the United States during the 2004 U.S. presidential election. The political debate centered on outsourcing's consequences for the domestic U.S. workforce. Democratic U.S. presidential candidate (总统竞选人) John Kerry criticized U.S. firms that outsource jobs abroad or that incorporate overseas in tax havens（避税天堂） to avoid paying their fair share of U.S. taxes during his 2004 campaign, calling such firms "Benedict Arnold corporations". Criticism of outsourcing, from the perspective of U.S. citizens, by-and-large（总体上）, revolves around the costs associated with transferring control of the labor process to an external entity in another country. A Zogby International poll conducted in August 2004 found that 71% of American voters believed that “outsourcing jobs overseas” hurt the economy while another 62% believed that the U.S. government should impose some legislative action against companies that transfer domestic jobs overseas, possibly in the form of increased taxes on companies that outsource. One given rationale（基本原理） is the extremely high corporate income tax rate in the U.S. relative to other OECD nations（经合组织国家）, and the peculiar practice of taxing revenues earned outside of U.S. jurisdiction（管辖区）, a very uncommon practice. It is argued that lowering the corporate income tax and ending the double-taxation of foreign-derived revenue (taxed once in the nation where the revenue was raised, and once from the U.S.) will alleviate corporate outsourcing and make the U.S. more attractive to foreign companies. Sarbanes-Oxley（萨班斯法案） has also been cited as a factor for corporate flight from U.S. jurisdiction.

Standpoint of labor
From the standpoint of labor within countries on the negative end（发包方） of outsourcing this may represent a new threat, contributing to rampant worker insecurity, and reflective（沉思） of the general process of globalization . While the "outsourcing" process may provide benefits to less developed countries or global society as a whole, in some form and to some degree - include rising wages or increasing standards of living - these benefits are not secure. Further, the term outsourcing is also used to describe a process by which an internal department, equipment as well as personnel, is sold to a service provider, who may retain the workforce on worse conditions or discharge them in the short term. The affected workers thus often feel they are being "sold down the river."

Qualifications of outsourcers（外包企业的资格）
The outsourcer may replace staff with less qualified people or with people with different non-equivalent qualifications.

In the engineering discipline（工程学科） there has been a debate about the number of engineers being produced by the major economies of the United States, India and China. The argument centers around（围绕） the definition of an engineering graduate and also disputed numbers. The closest comparable numbers of annual gradates of four-year degrees（读四年获得的学位） are United States (137,437) India (112,000) and China (351,537).

Productivity
Offshore outsourcing（离岸外包） for the purpose of saving cost can often have a negative influence on the real productivity of a company. Rather than investing in technology to improve productivity, companies gain non-real（非现实的） productivity by hiring fewer people locally and outsourcing work to less productive facilities（效率不高的机构） offshore that appear to be more productive simply because the workers are paid less. Sometimes, this can lead to strange contradictions where workers in a third world country using hand tools（手工工具） can appear to be more productive than a U.S. worker using advanced computer controlled machine tools（电脑控制的机械工具）, simply because their salary appears to be less in terms of U.S. dollars.

In contrast, increases in real productivity are the result of more productive tools（生产工具） or methods of operating（经营手段） that make it possible for a worker to do more work. Non-real productivity gains are the result of shifting work to lower paid workers, often without regards to real productivity. The net result of choosing non-real over real productivity gain is that the company falls behind and obsoletes itself（荒废自己） overtime rather than making investments in real productivity.

Staff turnover
The staff turnover（人员转移，人员流动）of employee who originally transferred to the outsourcer is a concern for many companies. Turnover is higher under an outsourcer and key company skills（关键技能） may be lost with retention outside of the control of the company.

In outsourcing offshore there is an issue of staff turnover in the outsourcer companies call centers. It is quite normal for such companies to replace its entire workforce each year in a call center. This inhibits（抑制） the build-up of employee knowledge and keeps quality at a low level.

Company knowledge
Outsourcing could lead to communication problems（沟通问题） with transferred employees. For example, before transfer staff have access to broadcast company e-mail informing them of new products, procedures etc. Once in the outsourcing organization the same access may not be available. Also to reduce costs, some outsource employees may not have access to e-mail, but any information which is new is delivered in team meetings.

（By freelance Chinese translator li – English to Chinese translation or Chinese to English translation services - website localization– based in Harbin，China）

Social responsibility
Outsourcing sends jobs to the lower-income areas where work is being outsourced to, which provides jobs in these areas and has a net equalizing effect（平衡效应） on the overall distribution of wealth. Some argue that the outsourcing of jobs (particularly off-shore) exploits the lower paid workers. A contrary view is that more people are employed and benefit from paid work.

On the issue of high-skilled labor, such as computer programming, some argue that it is unfair to both the local and off-shore programmers to outsource the work simply because the foreign pay rate（工资率） is lower. On the other hand, one can argue that paying the higher-rate for local programmers is wasteful, or charity, or simply overpayment. If the end goal of buyers is to pay less for what they buy, and for sellers it is to get a higher price for what they sell, there is nothing automatically unethical（不道德的） about choosing the cheaper of two products, services, or employees.

Quality of service
Quality of service is measured through a service level agreement (SLA) in the outsourcing contract. In poorly defined contracts there is no measure of quality or SLA defined. Even when an SLA exists it may not be to the same level as previously enjoyed. This may be due to the process of implementing proper objective measurement（客观度量） and reporting which is being done for the first time. It may also be lower quality through design to match the lower price.

There are a number of stakeholders（利益相关人） who are affected and there is no single view of quality. The CEO may view the lower quality acceptable to meet the business needs at the right price. The retained management team may view quality as slipping（下滑） compared to what they previously achieved. The end consumer of the service may also receive a change in service that is within agreed SLAs but is still perceived as inadequate. The supplier may view quality in purely meeting the defined SLAs regardless of perception or ability to do better.

Quality in terms of end-user-experience is best measured through customer satisfaction questionnaires which are professionally designed to capture an unbiased view of quality. Surveys can be one of research. This allows quality to be tracked over time and also for corrective action（纠正措施） to be identified and taken.

（By freelance Chinese translator li – English to Chinese translation or Chinese to English translation services - website localization– based in Harbin，China）

Public opinion
There is a strong public opinion regarding outsourcing (especially when combined with offshoring) that outsourcing damages a local labor market（当地的劳务市场）. Outsourcing is the transfer of the delivery of services which affects both jobs and individuals. It is difficult to dispute that outsourcing has a detrimental effect on individuals who face job disruption（职业受损） and employment insecurity（就业不稳定）; however, its supporters believe that outsourcing should bring down prices, providing greater economic benefit to all. There are legal protections in the European Union regulations called the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment，就业保障). Labor laws in the United States are not as protective as those in the European Union. A study has attempted to show that public controversies about outsourcing in the U.S. have much more to do with class and ethnic tensions（阶级和种族的紧张关系） within the U.S. itself, than with actual impacts of outsourcing.

Failure to realize business value
The main business criticism of outsourcing is that it fails to realize the business value（商业价值） that the outsourcer promised the client.

Language skills
In the area of call centers end-user-experience（终端用户体验） is deemed to be of lower quality when a service is outsourced. This is exacerbated（加剧） when outsourcing is combined with off-shoring to regions where the first language and culture are different. The questionable quality is particularly evident when call centers that service the public are outsourced and offshored.

（By freelance Chinese translator li – English to Chinese translation or Chinese to English translation services - website localization– based in Harbin，China）

Staffing issues. Access to a larger talent pool（人才库） and a sustainable source of skills.

Capacity management（产能管理）. An improved method of capacity management of services and technology where the risk in providing the excess capacity is borne by the supplier.

Catalyst for change. An organization can use an outsourcing agreement as a catalyst for major step change that can not be achieved alone. The outsourcer becomes a Change agent in the process.

Reduce time to market（节省市场进入时间）. The acceleration of the development or production of a product through the additional capability brought by the supplier.

Commodification（商品化，主要指分工和中间市场）. The trend of standardizing business processes, IT Services and application services enabling businesses to intelligently buy at the right price. Allows a wide range of businesses access to services previously only available to large corporations.

Risk management. An approach to risk management for some types of risks is to partner with an outsourcer who is better able to provide the mitigation（缓冲）.

（By freelance Chinese translator li – English to Chinese translation or Chinese to English translation services - website localization– based in Harbin，China）

Organizations that outsource are seeking to realize benefits or address the following issues:
Cost savings. The lowering of the overall cost of the service to the business. This will involve reducing the scope, defining quality levels, re-pricing, re-negotiation, cost re-structuring. Access to lower cost economies through offshoring called "labor arbitrage（劳动套利）" generated by the wage gap between industrialized and developing nations.

Cost restructuring. Operating leverage（营业杠杆） is a measure that compares fixed costs to variable costs. Outsourcing changes the balance of this ratio by offering a move from fixed to variable cost and also by making variable costs more predictable.

Improve quality. Achieve a step change（逐步改变） in quality through contracting out the service with a new service level agreement.

Knowledge. Access to intellectual property and wider experience and knowledge.

Contract. Services will be provided to a legally binding contract with financial penalties and legal redress（纠正，赔偿）. This is not the case with internal services.

Operational expertise. Access to operational best practice（最优方法） that would be too difficult or time consuming to develop in-house.

（By freelance Chinese translator li – English to Chinese translation or Chinese to English translation services - website localization– based in Harbin，China）

Contract finalization
At the heart of every outsourcing deal is a contractual agreement that defines how the client and the supplier will work together. This is a legally binding（具有法律约束力的） document and is core to the governance of the relationship. There are three significant dates that each party signs up to the contract signature date, the effective date（生效日期）when the contract terms become active and a service commencement date when the supplier will take over（接管） the services.

Transition（过渡）
The transition will begin from the effective date and normally run until four months after service commencement date. This is the process for the staff transfer and the take-on of services.

Transformation（转化）
The transformation is the execution of a set of projects to implement the service level agreement (SLA), to reduce the total cost of ownership (TCO，总拥有成本) or to implement new services. Emphasis is on 'standardization' and 'centralization'.

Ongoing service delivery
This is the execution of the agreement and lasts for the term of the contract.

Termination or renewal
Near the end of the contract term a decision will be made to terminate or renew the contract. Termination may involve taking back（重新接管） services (insourcing) or the transfer of services to another supplier.

（By freelance Chinese translator li – English to Chinese translation or Chinese to English translation services - website localization– based in Harbin，China）

Deciding to outsource
The decision to outsource is taken at a strategic level（战略层） and normally requires board approval（董事会批准）. Outsourcing is the divestiture（剥离） of a business function involving the transfer of people and the sale of assets to the supplier. The process begins with（首先） the client identifying what is to be outsourced and building a business case（业务样板，业务案例） to justify the decision. Only once a high level business case has been established for the scope of services will a search begin to choose an outsourcing partner.

Supplier proposals
A Request for Proposal (RFP，征求计划书) is issued to the shortlist（最终候选人名单） suppliers requesting a proposal and a price. The suppliers are usually chosen based on location and at the lowest possible cost to the company.

Supplier competition
A competition is held where the client marks and scores the supplier proposals. This may involve a number of face-to-face meetings to clarify the client requirements and the supplier response. The suppliers will be qualified out（资格筛选） until only a few remain. This is known as down select（下拉式选择，甄选） in the industry. It is normal to go into the due diligence（尽职尽责） stage with two suppliers to maintain the competition. Following due diligence the suppliers submit a "best and final offer" (BAFO) for the client to make the final down select decision to one supplier. It is not unusual for two suppliers to go into competitive negotiations（竞争性谈判）.

Negotiations
The negotiations take the original RFP, the supplier proposals, BAFO submissions and convert these into the contractual agreement between the client and the supplier. This stage finalizes（敲定） the documentation and the final pricing structure.

With increasing globalization of outsourcing companies, the distinction between outsourcing and offshoring will become less clear over time（随着时间的流逝）. This is evident in the increasing presence of Indian outsourcing companies in the US and UK. The globalization of outsourcing operating models has resulted in new terms such as nearshoring（近岸外包，近程外包）, noshoring（不完全外包，部分外包）, and rightshoring（适宜外包） that reflect the changing mix of locations. This is seen in the opening of offices and operations centers by Indian companies in the U.S. and UK. A major job that is being outsourced is accounting. They are able to complete tax returns（捐税收入） across seas for people in America.

Multisourcing（多重外包） refers to large (predominantly IT) outsourcing agreements. Multisourcing is a framework to enable different parts of the client business to be sourced from different suppliers. This requires a governance model that communicates strategy, clearly defines responsibility and has end-to-end integration（端对端的整合）.

Strategic outsourcing（战略外包） is the organizing arrangement that emerges when firms rely on intermediate markets（中间市场） to provide specialized capabilities that supplement existing capabilities deployed along a firm’s value chain. Such an arrangement produces value within firms’ supply chains beyond those benefits achieved through cost economies（成本经济）. Intermediate markets that provide specialized capabilities emerge as different industry conditions intensify the partitioning of production（生产细分）. As a result of greater information standardization and simplified coordination, clear administrative demarcations（管理划分） emerge along a value chain. Partitioning of intermediate markets occurs as the coordination of production（生产协作） across a value chain is simplified and as information becomes standardized, making it easier to transfer activities across boundaries.

Outsourcing involves the transfer of the management and/or day-to-day execution of an entire business function（业务功能、商业功能） to an external service provider. The client organization and the supplier enter into a contractual agreement（合同） that defines the transferred services. Under the agreement the supplier acquires the means of production in the form of a transfer of people, assets and other resources from the client（can also acquire those from markets）. The client agrees to procure the services(获得服务) from the supplier for the term of the contract. Business segments（业务部门） typically outsourced include information technology, human resources, facilities（设备维护）, real estate management（不动产管理，如物业）, and accounting. Many companies also outsource customer support and call center functions like telemarketing（电话营销）, customer service, market research, manufacturing, designing, web development, content writing（稿件撰写）, ghostwriting（代笔）and engineering.

Outsourcing（业务外包） and offshoring（离岸业务，海外业务） are used interchangeably（可相互代替） in public discourse（谈话，谈论） despite important technical differences. Outsourcing involves contracting with a supplier, which may or may not involve some degree of offshoring. Offshoring is the transfer of an organizational function（组织职能） to another country, regardless of whether the work is outsourced or stays within the same corporation/company.

In April 2008, China Education Alliance, Inc. purchased 70% of the entire issued share capital of World Exchanges Inc. (''World Exchanges''), which provides English training programs, English test preparation courses and overseas study and consulting services through its five existing branches in regions of Beijing, Yantai（烟台）, Xiamen（厦门） and Qingdao（青岛）. World Exchanges will establish a Wholly Foreign Owned Enterprise ("WFOE") as its English education headquarters to operate World Exchanges College of Language ("WECL") English Education business. WECL works closely with local universities to promote its on-campus language instruction programs that create a total English language environment in Chinese universities to enhance practical English skills and English examination skills（英语考试技能） for students. In addition, WECL also provides part- time language training programs, test preparation programs as well as overseas study and consulting services for students.

In July 2008, the Company contributed approximately $430,000 cash to purchase a 49.02% equity interest in a joint venture company, Harbin New Discovery Media Co., Ltd. ("Harbin Media"), with Harbin Daily Newspaper Group[哈报集团] ("Harbin Daily"). The Company will cooperate with Harbin Daily to run the newspaper, "Scientific Discovery," which has won strong brand recognition and a loyal readership in Heilongjiang province. The Company plans to publish this newspaper twice per week by targeting primary and middle school students and the general population to provide after-school tutorship materials and scientific knowledge of daily life.

"In this quarter, the operating results combined with first quarter results met our first half year expectations and plans and we remain confident that we can resume（继续） our growth trend in the latter half of 2008. We believe we can achieve our previously stated goals for $23 million in revenue and $8.5 to $11.0 million in net income," said Mr. Yu. "We will continue to provide exam- oriented education by primarily targeting the 10 million students in the northeast region of China, and to increase our market share in these areas. We believe that our language training business will create another major platform for growth beginning in the second half of this year. We will establish another ten WECL branches by the end of year 2008. We also believe our newly established educational media distribution platform （发布平台）will generate considerable revenues for us later this year, help us to promote the China Education Alliance brand, and facilitate our nationwide expansion with minimal advertising expenses."

English Chinese translation samples--China Education Alliance, Inc. Announces Second Quarter 2008 Results

2008-10-10T20:47:00.001-04:00

（By freelance Chinese translator li – based in Harbin，China – English to Chinese translation or Chinese to English translation services - website localization）

HARBIN, Heilongjiang, China, Aug 15, 2008 /Xinhua-PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ ----China Education Alliance, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: CEUA) ("China Education Alliance" or "the Company"), a leading distributor（提供商） of educational resources, offering high-quality materials and training and tutoring services through both online networks and an on-site training center in China, today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2008.

Second Quarter 2008 Results
Revenue in the second quarter increased to $4.5 million, up 2.5% from $4.3 million in the prior year, which was primarily attributable to the online education business and the addition of several new programs for vocational studies（职业学习） and certification programs（证书教育，学历教育）.

China Education Alliance provides exam-oriented education to 11-18 year olds, middle and senior high school students, including online downloadable materials and online classrooms, as well as famous instructors（名教）' face-to-face training and tutoring services in training centers. The Company also provides vocational education to students older than 18 years of age and adults, through both on-site and training center channels.

Online education represented 86.4% of total revenue for the second quarter of 2008 versus 85.5% in the same period of last year, while the training center（培训中心） business generated the remaining 13.6% of total revenue for the second quarter of 2008 versus 14.5% in the second quarter last year.

"We experienced a slight increase in our revenue in this quarter led by our online education business," commented Mr. Xiqun Yu, Chairman（董事长） and CEO of China Education Alliance, Inc. "We continue to dominate the online education business in Heilongjiang Province（黑龙江省） and expand into surrounding provinces."

Online education revenue was $3.9 million for the second quarter, up 3.7% from $3.7 million in the second quarter of 2007. Training center revenue for the second quarter was $604,752, a decrease of 4.3% compared to $631,770 in the second quarter of last year.

Overall cost of sales（销售成本） decreased 12.9% to $737,692 in the second quarter of 2008, compared to $847,395 in the same period of 2007. Gross profit（利润总额） increased to $3.7 million in the second quarter, up 6.2% from $3.5 million in the same quarter of 2007. Gross margin（毛利率） for the quarter increased to 83.5% from 80.5% in the same quarter a year ago. The improved gross margin was due to the fact that on-line education costs are somewhat fixed and margins increase with volume（销售量） and an increase in advertising revenue, which has no substantial costs associated with it. This was offset（抵偿） by more amortization（摊销） of training center related intangible assets and decreased payments to lecturers. The online education gross margin increased to 87.5% in second quarter of 2008 from 83.3% in the same period of 2007. The training center gross margin decreased to 57.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2008 from 64% in the same period of last year.

Selling expenses increased 30% to $1.4 million, compared to $1.1 million in the second quarter of 2007, reflecting increased agency fees（代理费用） due to more sales of debit cards（借记卡，付费卡）. General and administrative ("G&A") expenses decreased 27.3% to $318,543 from $438,003 in the second quarter of 2007, due primarily to decreased salaries, and a decrease in travel and telephone expenses.

Operating income（营业收益） in the second quarter was $1.8 million, compared to $1.9 million recorded in the same period a year ago. Operating margin was 39.7% in the second quarter of 2008 compared to 43% in the prior year.

Interest expense decreased 94.4% to $21,842 from $388,582 in the second quarter of 2007, which was related to a bridge loan（过桥贷款，临时贷款） made in September 2006.

Net income（净收益） for the second quarter was $1.7 million, up 18.9% from $1.4 million in the year earlier period. Fully diluted earnings per share were $0.07 compared to $0.07 in the comparable period for 2007.

HARBIN, China, Aug 15, 2008 /Xinhua-PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ ----China Kangtai Cactus Biotech Inc. [哈尔滨海南康大仙人掌保健食品有限公司](the "Company") (OTC Bulletin Board: CKGT), a vertically integrated（纵向整合，垂直整合） grower, developer, manufacturer and marketer of a variety of cactus-based（以仙人掌为原料） consumer products in China, announced today record second quarter results for the period ended June 30, 2008. The Company reported revenue（营业收入） of $5.0 million, a 34.9% increase compared to $3.7 million in the 2007 second quarter. The increase in revenue was a result of growing acceptance of the Company's products such as Cactus Protein Nutrient（仙人掌蛋白营养素）, Cactus Calcium Peptide Soft Capsule（仙人掌钙肽胶囊） and Cactus Shuxin Capsule（仙人掌舒欣胶囊） by Chinese customers and expanded distribution.

Gross profit（利润总额） for the three months period ended June 30, 2008 was $1.5 million, an increase of 12.3% compared to $1.4 million for the same period last year. This increase was mainly attributable to the increase in net sales（销售净额）. For the three months ended June 30, 2008, pre-tax income（税前收益） increased by 10.2%, to $1.2 million from $1.1 million in the corresponding period of the prior year. Net income （净收益）available to common stockholders increased to $1.0 million, or $0.06 per diluted share（每股摊薄收益）, compared to $0.9 million, or $0.05 per diluted share in the previous year's second quarter.

For the six months ended June 30, 2008, revenue increased 27.7% to $ 7.8 million, compared to $6.1 million in the corresponding period of the prior year. Pre-tax income increased 13.8% to $1.9 million for the 2008 first six months, compared to $1.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2007. Net income increased to $1.6 million, compared to $1.4 million in the 2007 period ended June 30, 2007.

"Our second quarter results reflect the growing acceptance of our existing cactus products," said Jinjiang Wang（汪金江）, President of China Kangtai Cactus. "As we increase our marketing activities to support the recent launch of many of our exciting new products such as Cactus Cattle Feed（仙人掌牛饲料） and Cactus Fish Feed（仙人掌鱼饲料）, we expect awareness of the health and productivity benefits of these products for livestock and fish to grow, leading to significant revenue growth."

HARBIN, China, Aug 19, 2008 (GlobeNewswire via COMTEX) ----Chang-On International Inc. (OTCBB:CAON), a Chinese manufacturer of green architectural products made of its innovative SF brand of synthetic resin, announced today that it has chosen to focus a greater portion of its energies and attention（精力和注意力） on developing its production of formwork（建筑模具） for the rapidly growing RMB1.5 Trillion (US$208 Billion) green construction systems in China. Formworks are assembled molds to hold poured concrete that are typically made from steel. Chang-On formwork is composed of recycled plastic and coal ash utilizing its proprietary(自有的) and patented processes. Because of rising steel consumption, steel formwork has been largely prohibited by the Chinese government, prompting many industry analysts to predict that green and recycled architectural formwork, due to its relatively low cost and extended product life span（使用寿命）, will emerge as the industry standard and replace most of the existing formworks.

According to Li Guomin, President of Chang-On, "We are constantly re-evaluating our business operations in order to remain in tune with（合拍） the latest trends in the industry. Our market research has led us to conclude that there is an extremely high likelihood that the use of green architectural formwork will come to dominate the market place. 2006 marked the first year of China's 11th Five Year Plan, and the Chinese government has placed 'Energy Efficiency' and 'Green Construction' as top priority goals in China's construction industry. This emphasis, along with the cost benefits and functional advantages of our products, should only enhance that trend."

"We are quite pleased with our performance this past quarter," said Mr. Tianfu Yang, Harbin Electric's Chairman（董事长） and Chief Executive Officer（首席执行官）. "We have delivered（交付、经过） another strong quarter and we see exciting times ahead（美好的未来）. On the back of our successful private placement（证券的直接销售） of 3.5 million shares closed on June 24, we were able to complete the acquisition of Weihai Hengda Electric Motor Co. Ltd. which added a third major product line -- rotary motors（回转马达） -- to our product portfolio."

"Our current major focus at Hengda is to ensure that its management team has all the support and resources necessary to complete the existing supply contracts（供应合同） for the year, which should grow revenues and earnings by 30% over 2007. Next, we will gradually improve manufacturing efficiency（生产效率） and optimize product mix by bringing in new technologies and developing higher grade new products over the next few years. To this effect（为了实现该目标）, a special team led by our Chief Technology Officer Mr. Okawa will conduct a thorough study of manufacturing processes and technologies at Hengda, identify opportunities, issue（发表）recommendations, and assist with the execution of the plan（计划执行）."

"In Shanghai, the construction of the main building of our new facility（新设施） has been completed," Mr. Yang continued. "Core production lines（核心生产线） and equipment have arrived and we are scheduled to conduct equipment adjusting and testing and start trial runs（试运行、试车） with all our people in Shanghai moving in to the new facility on October 15. While we have been a bit delayed we are working hard to meet our commitment to our major North American customer Magna International Inc. to have a minimum capacity of 1 million units ready at Shanghai by December this year. We have scheduled three micro-motor lines to be produced（建造） at Shanghai for Magna. These micro-motors including applications for car seats, door locks, and engines have all been successfully developed and validated by Magna. We estimate that the market potential（市场潜力） for these micro-motors could reach a total of $500 million for the next four years," Mr. Yang added.

"Our tower type oil pump project for Daqing Oil Field（大庆油田） is on track（进行中）. With 39 units completed in the first quarter and 80 in the second quarter, we expect to complete 200 units for the whole year."

"Our linear motor driven subway train project progressed quite well. I am pleased to report that the subway line（地铁线） between Beijing airport and the city started to operate successfully before the Beijing Olympic Games. This is a clear validation（认证） and recognition（认可） by the government of the application of the linear motor technology to urban mass transportation（城市公共交通） in China. I am confident that the development process of China's own linear motor driven subway train will be accelerated and I expect that it will move to a new stage after the Beijing Olympics."

Looking ahead（展望未来）, Mr. Yang concluded, "With a well established multi-faceted（多角化的） growth strategy and multiple projects under way, I believe that Harbin Electric is ideally positioned to capture market opportunities and continuously deliver solid results.（表现优异）"

Harbin Electric Reports Strong Results for the Second Quarter 2008-2

（By freelance Chinese translator li – based in Harbin，China – English to Chinese translation or Chinese to English translation services - website localization）

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2008, the Company achieved total revenues of $46.42 million compared to $27.62 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2007, representing（呈现） a 68% year-over-year growth. Linear motors and related integrated application systems contributed 44% to total revenues, automobile specialty micro-motors contributed 38%, and controllers（控制器）, armatures（电枢）, and other special motors contributed 18% compared to 76%, 0%, and 24%, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2007. The year-over-year growth in revenues was primarily driven by sales of new products from the automobile specialty micro-motors and the tower type oil pumps, which contributed approximately $18 million, and $5 million to total revenues, respectively. The growth in new product sales was partially offset by slightly lower sales in other product types. Sales to markets outside China accounted for about 15% of total revenues for the six-month period. Contributions from the automobile specialty micro-motors business and the oil pumps did not begin until the second half of 2007.

Gross profit was $22.22 million compared to $14.08 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007. The increase is directly related to higher sales levels. Gross margin was 48% for the six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to 51% for the six months ended June 30, 2007. The slight decline in gross profit margin was mainly due to changes in the product mix with the introduction of the new product line of the automobile micro-motor business, which has a relatively lower gross profit margin. Average gross profit margin was 52% for linear motors and 40% for automobile specialty micro-motors.

Selling, general and administrative expense (SG&A) totaled $5.07 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008, compared to $2.96 million in the same period of 2007. The year-over-year increase in SG&A was primarily a result of business expansion and increased sales activities. However, as a percentage of total sales, total SG&A expenses remained relatively stable at 12%, which is within the Company's expected range（预期范围）.

Operating margin declined to 36% from 39% for the same six-month period in the prior year, mainly due to increased contributions from the Company's lower margin automobile micro-motors business.

Net Income was $11.58 million compared to $7.96 million for the six months ended June 3, 2007, representing a year-over-year increase of 46%. This increase in net income was mainly due to new sales driven primarily by automobile micro-motor business and the tower-type oil pumps. The income tax that the Company began to pay on earnings has resulted in a significant reduction in our growth of net earnings compared to previous periods. During the first six months, the Company has made a total of $2.05 provision for income tax.

Earnings per diluted share grew 36% from $0.42 to $0.58 in the six months ended June 30, 2007. The total diluted weighted average number of shares increased by 1.26 million shares, which negatively affected earnings per share.

HARBIN, China, Aug 11, 2008 /Xinhua-PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ ----Harbin Electric, Inc. ('Harbin Electric'（哈电电气公司） or the 'Company'; Nasdaq: HRBN), a leading developer and manufacturer of a wide range of electric motors（电动机）, reported its financial results for the second quarter 2008. The Company filed its quarterly report（季度报告） 10Q last Friday, August 8, 2008.

Total revenues in the second quarter of 2008 were $23.96 million, a 71% increase compared to $13.99 million in the same quarter of 2007, primarily driven by sales of new products from the automobile specialty micro-motors and tower type oil pumps（塔式油泵）. Linear motors（直线电机） and their integrated application systems contributed 45% to total revenues, automobile specialty micro-motors（汽车专用微型电机） 38%, and others 17% compared to 66%, 0%, and 34%, respectively, for the quarter ended（截止） June 30, 2007. Automobile micro-motors contributed approximately $9 million and tower type oil pumps contributed approximately $3 million to total revenues. Sales to markets outside China accounted for about 13% of total revenues.

Gross profit margin（毛利率） was 48% compared to 52% for the same period last year. The slight decline in gross profit margin was mainly due to changes in the product mix（产品组合、产品线） with the introduction of the new product line（新产品线） of the automobile micro-motor business, which has a relatively lower gross profit margin. Gross profit margin was 52% for linear motors and 40% for automobile specialty micro-motors.

Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) were $3.04 million, compared to $1.45 million in the same quarter of 2007. As a percentage of total sales（占销售额百分比）, the Company's total SG&A expenses increased to 13% in this quarter from 10% in the same quarter last year. The year-over year increase（年增长率） was primarily a result of business expansion（业务扩张）, increased sales activities and generally higher administration expenses related to compensation（工资、薪水） as well as the Company's listing on NASDAQ such as fees related to legal (法律事项) , auditing, board of directors（董事会）, liability insurance（责任保险）, professional consultation, financial reporting and filing compared to the previous year. The Company expects total SG&A expenses as a percentage of sales to be in the range of 10%-12% on average going forward（将来）.

Operating margin（营业毛利） declined to 34% from 40% in the prior year quarter, primarily due to lower gross profit margin in our automobile micro-motors business and higher selling, general and administrative expenses（销售和一般管理费用）.

Net Income（净收入） increased by 37% to $6.23 million in the second quarter of 2008 from $4.56 million in the same quarter of 2007 despite（尽管、其中包括） a $1.05 million provision for income tax（备付所得税） as the Company began to pay income tax on January 1, 2008. This has resulted in a significant reduction in net earnings growth（净收益增长） compared to previous periods. Higher SG&A costs for this quarter also negatively affected earnings growth.

Additionally, the Company received $763,408 in government grants（政府津贴、补助） in the second quarter of 2007, while there were no such grants in the second quarter of 2008, which also unfavorably affected the quarterly comparison.

Net earnings per diluted share（每股摊薄收益） grew 29% year-over-year to $0.31 from $0.24 for the same quarter of last year. The total diluted weighted average number of shares（摊薄的加权平均股份数量） increased by 1.28 million shares, which resulted in some earnings dilution.

During the concert, multiple evenings, concert, race and activities are held. The artists come from all over the world. The 'Harbin Summer Music Month', which was then renamed as 'Harbin Summer Music Concert', was held in August 1958. The first formal Concert was held on August 5th, 1961 in Harbin Youth Palace（青年宫）, and kept on every year until 1966 when the Cultural Revolution started in China.

My hometown Harbin (China)--Winter culture（冰雪文化）

2008-08-26T04:56:00.003-04:00

（By freelance Chinese translator li – based in Harbin – English to Chinese translation or Chinese to English translation services - website localization）

Harbin is one of the sources of ice and snow culture（冰雪文化发祥地） in the world. Geographically, it is located in Northeast China under the direct influence of the cold winter wind from Siberia（西伯利亚）. The average temperature in summer is 21.2 degrees Celsius, −16.8 degrees Celsius in winter. It can be as cold as −38.1 degrees Celsius in winter.

The annual Harbin International Ice and Snow Sculpture Festival has been held since 1985. Although the official start date is January 5th each year, in practice, many of the sculptures can be seen before. While there are ice sculptures throughout the city, there are two main exhibition areas（展区）: Enormous snow sculptures at Sun Island（太阳岛） (a recreational area on the opposite side of the Songhua River from the city) and the separate "Ice and Snow World"（冰雪大世界） that operates each night. Ice and Snow World features illuminated full size buildings made from blocks of ice. Winter activities in the festival include Yabuli Alpine Skiing（亚布力高山滑雪）, winter-swimming（冬泳） in Songhua River, and the ice-lantern exhibition（冰灯展览） in Zhaolin Garden（兆麟公园）. Snow carving and ice and snow recreations are world famous.

The "Harbin International Ice and Snow Festival" （哈尔滨国际冰雪节）is one of the world's four largest ice and snow festivals, along with Japan's Sapporo Snow Festival, Canada's Quebec City Winter Carnival, and Norway's Ski Festival.

Every November, the city of Harbin sends teams of ice artisans to the United States to promote their unique art form. It takes more than 100 artisans to create ICE!, the annual display of indoor Christmas-themed ice carvings in Nashville, Tennessee; Kissimmee, Florida; and Grapevine, Texas.

The third Winter Asian Games took place in Harbin in 1996. The city of Harbin bid for hosting the 2010 Winter Olympics（2010年冬季奥运会）. The Alpine skiing events would have taken place in the Yabuli ski resort（亚布力滑雪胜地）. In the frame of this campaign to assert its role on the world scene（世界舞台）, Harbin will also be the host city of the 2009 Winter Universiade（2009年世界大学生冬季运动会）. Harbin plans to spend US$ 1.5 billion in construction and renovation of its sport infrastructure（运动基础设施） for this Universiade. Harbin is bidding for the 2012 Winter Youth Olympics（2012年青年冬奥会.

Architecture（建筑）

Called the Oriental St. Petersburg, Harbin is one of China's most beautiful cities. The city is well-known for its unique, Russian and European-influenced architecture.

Zhong Yang Street (Central Street, also known as Kitaiskaia St.), one of the main business streets in Harbin, is a perfect remnant of the bustling international business activities（国际商务活动） at the turn of the 20th century. The 1.4-km long street is a veritable museum of European architectural style: Baroque（巴洛克式） and Byzantine（拜占庭式）facades, little Russian bakeries(面包店), French fashion houses, American eateries（餐馆）, and Japanese restaurants.

The Russian Orthodox church（东正教）, St. Sophia Cathedral（索非亚大教堂）, is also located in this central district of Daoli（道里区）. St. Sophia took nine years to build and was completed in 1932. It has now been made into a museum as a showcase of the multi-cultural architecture of Harbin.

Many citizens believe that the Orthodox church damaged the local feng shui（风水）, so they donated money to build a Chinese monastery in 1921, the Ji Le Temple（极乐寺）. There were more than 15 Russian Orthodox churches and two cemeteries in Harbin until 1949. Mao's Communist Revolution, and the subsequent Cultural Revolution（文化大革命）, saw many of them destroyed. Now, about 10 churches remain, while services are held only in one.

Introduction to Harbin (哈尔滨简介)

Before you visit a city, it is always useful to know something about it.

Harbin (simplified Chinese: 哈尔滨; traditional Chinese: 哈爾濱; pinyin: Hāěrbīn; Wade-Giles: Ha-erh-pin) is a sub-provincial city and the capital of the Heilongjiang Province in Northeast China（中国东北）. It lies on the southern bank of the Songhua River（松花江）. Harbin is ranked as the tenth largest city in China（中国第十大城市）, serving as a key political, economic（经济）, scientific（科技）, cultural and communications center（通讯中心） of Northeastern China.

Harbin is originally a Manchu（满族） word meaning 'a place for drying fishing nets'. Harbin bears the nicknames 'The Pearl on the swan's neck' (天鹅项下的珍珠) because the shape of Heilongjiang resembles a swan, and 'Oriental Moscow'（东方莫斯科） or 'Oriental Paris'（东方小巴黎） for the architecture in the city. Harbin is also known as 'Ice City'（冰城） for its long and cold winter.

Harbin was the birthplace(诞生地) of Jin (1115-1234) and Qing (1644-1911) Dynasties（金朝和清朝）, the latter of which had a very considerable influence on modern Chinese history. At the end of the 19th century, Russia built the terminus（终点站）of the Middle East Railway（中东铁路） here. Later, more than 160,000 foreigners from 33 countries migrated to Harbin, promoting the development of a capitalist economy（资本主义经济） in the city. The economy and culture of Harbin achieved unprecedented prosperity at that time and the city gradually grew into a famous international commercial port（商埠）. Assimilating（吸收、融会） external culture, Harbin created its unique and exotic cityscape（都市风景）. The majestic St. Sofia Orthodox Church（圣索非亚东正教堂） and Zhongyang Dajie（中央大街） each built in a European style have the effect of bringing you into an 'eastern Moscow'. Even though you are sure to be attracted by various exotic buildings, the Dragon Tower（龙塔） which embodies the wisdom of the Chinese people is a must on your journey.

为了保证进出口货物的安全交接，在整个运输过程中需要编制各种单据。这些单证各有其特定的用途，彼此之间又有相互依存的关系。它们既把船、港、货各方联系在一起，又能分清各自的权利和业务。
按实际业务程序介绍一些主要的货运单证。　
托运单（BOOKING NOTE）托运单俗称“下货纸”，是托运人根据贸易合同和信用证条款内容填制的，向承运人或其代理办理货物托运的单证。承运人根据托运单内容，并结合船舶的航线、挂靠港、船期和舱位等条件考虑，认为合适后，即接受托运。　
装货单(SHIPPING ORDER）装货单是接受了托运人提出装运申请的船公司，签发给托运人，凭以命令船长将承运的货物装船的单据。装货单既可用作装船依据，又是货主凭以向海关办理出口货物申报手续的主要单据之一，所以装货单又称“关单”，对托运人而言，装货单是办妥货物托运的证明。对船公司或其代理而言，装货单是通知船方接受装运该批货物的指示文件。　
收货单（MATES RECEIPT）受货单又称大副收据，是船舶收到货物的收据及货物已经装船的凭证。船上大副根据理货人员在理货单上所签注的日期、件数及舱位，并与装货单进行核对后，签署大副收据。托运人凭大副签署过的大副收据，向承运人或其代理人换取已装船提单。　
由于上述三份单据的主要项目基本一致，我国一些主要口岸的做法是将托运单、装货单、收货单、运费通知单等合在一起，制成一份多达9联的单据。各联作用如下：第一联由订舱人留底，用于缮制船务单证。第二、三联为运费通知联，其中一联留存，另一联随帐单向托运人托收运费。第四联装货单经海关加盖放行章后，船方才能收货装船。第五联收货单及第六联由配舱人留底。第七、八联为配舱回单。第九联是缴纳出口货物港务费申请书。货物装船完毕后，港区凭以向托运人收取港杂费。
海运提单（BILL OF LADING）提单是一种货物所有权凭证。提单持有人可据以提取货物，也可凭此向银行押汇，还可在载货船舶到达目的港交货之前进行转让。
装货清单（LODING LIST）装货清单是承运人根据装货单留底，将全船待装货物按目的港和货物性质归类，依航次、靠港顺序排列编制的装货单汇总清单，其内容包括装货单编号、货名、件数、包装形式、毛重、估计尺码及特种货物对装运的要求或注意事项的说明等。装货清单是船上大副编制配载计划的主要依据，又是供现场理货人员进行理货，港方安排驳运，进出库场以及承运人掌握情况的业务单据。
舱单（MANIFEST）舱单是按照货港逐票罗列全船载运货物的汇总清单。它是在货物装船完毕之后，由船公司根据收货单或提单编制的。其主要内容包括货物详细情况，装卸港、提单号、船名、托运人和收货人姓名、标记号码等，此单作为船舶运载所列货物的证明。　
货物积载图（CARGO PLAN）货物积载图是按货物实际装舱情况编制的舱图。它是船方进行货物运输、保管和卸货工作的参考资料，也是卸港据以理货、安排泊位、货物进舱的文件。
提货单（DELIVERY ORDER）提货单是收货人凭正本提单或副本提单随同有效的担保向承运人或其代理人换取的、可向港口装卸部门提取货物的凭证。
附:提单种类已装船提单 SHIPPED OR BOARD B/L 指承运人向托运人签发的货物已经装船的提单。
收货待运提单或待运提单 RECEIVED FOR SHIPPING B/L 指承运人虽已收到货物但尚未装船时签发的提单。
直达提单 DIRECT B/L 指货物自装货港装船后，中途不经换船直接驶到卸货港卸货而签发的提单。
联运提单或称转船提单 THROUGH B/L 指承运人在装货港签发的中途得以转船运输而至目的港的提单。
多式联运提单 MT B/L 指货物由海上、内河、铁路、公路、航空等两种或多种运输方式进行联合运输而签的适用于全程运输的提单。
班轮提单 LINER B/L 班轮是在一定的航线上按照公布的时间表，在规定的港口间连续从事货运的船舶。班轮可分定线定期和定线不定期两种。
租船合同提单 CHARTER PARTY B/L 一般指用租船承运租船人的全部货物，船东签给租船人的提单，或者并非全部装运租船人的货物，而由船东或租船人所签发的提单。
记名提单 STRAIGHT B/L 只有提单上指名的收货人可以提货的提单，一般不具备流通性。
指示提单 ORDER B/L 通常有未列名指示（仅写ORDER），列名指示（ORDER OF SHIPPER 或ORDER OF CONSIGNEE**COMPANY；ORDER OF **BANK）。此种提单通过指示人背书后可以转让。
不记名提单 BLANK B/L或OPEN B/L 提单内没有任何收货人或ORDER 字样，即提单的任何持有人都有权提货。
清洁提单 CLEAN B/L 货物交运时，表面情况良好，承运人签发提单时未加任何货损、包装不良或其他有碍结汇的批注。
不清洁提单 FOUL B/L 货物交运时，其包装及表面状态出现不坚固完整等情况，船方可以批注，即为不清洁提单。
包裹提单 PARCLE RECEIPT 或 NON-NEGOTIABLE RECEIPT 适用于少量货物、行李或样品等。
最底运费提单或称起码提单 MINMUM B/L 运费未到运价本规定的最低额，而按规定的最低运费计收。
并提单 OMNIBUS B/L 或COMBINED B/L 不同批数的货物合并在一份提单上，或不同批数的相同的液体货装在一个油舱内，签发几份提单时，前者叫并提单，后者叫拼装提单。
分提单 SAPARATE B/L 一批货物，即同一装货单的货物，可根据托运人的要求分列2套或2套以上的提单。
过期提单 STALE B/L 出口商向银行交单结汇的日期与装船开航的日期距离过久，以致无法于船到目的地以前送达目的港收货人的提单，银行一般不接受这种提单。
倒签提单 ANTE-DATED B/L 承运人应托运人的要求在货物装船后，提单签发的日期早于实际装船完毕日期的提单。
预借提单 ADVANCED B/L 因信用证规定装运期和结汇期到期而货物因故未能及时装船，但已在承运人掌握之下或已开始装船，由托运人出具保函要求承运人预借的提单。
舱面提单或称甲板货提单 ON DECK B/L 指货物装载于船舶露天甲板，并注明“甲板上”字样的提单。
货运提单 HOUSE B/L 由货运代理人签发的提单。货运提单往往是货物从内陆运出并运至内陆时签发的。这种提单从技术上和严格的法律意义上说，是缺乏提单效力的。

My hometown—Harbin(China)--Harbin Summer Music Concert（哈夏音乐会、哈尔滨之夏音乐会）

2008-07-08T22:40:00.001-04:00

（Translated by freelance Chinese translator li – English to Chinese translation or Chinese to English translation services- your agent in Harbin）

Harbin Summer Music Concert ('Concert' for short) is a national concert festival, which is held on August 6th every two years for a period of 10~11 days. During the concert, multiple evenings, concert, race and activities are held. The artists come from all over the world. The 'Harbin Summer Music Month', which was then renamed as 'Harbin Summer Music Concert', was held in August 1958. The first formal Concert was held on August 5th, 1961 in Harbin Youth Palace（青年宫）, and kept on every year until 1966 when the Cultural Revolution started in China. In 1979, the Concert was recovered and from 1994, it has been held every two years. In 2008, the 29th Harbin Summer Music Concert（第29届哈夏音乐会） will be held on August 6th.
