北京人學英語

　　范文：

　　This picture describes an old Beijing resident’s encounter with a foreigner on the subway. The old man is learning English, and he seizes the good chance not only to practice English but also to ask some questions. From the picture we can perceive that the foreigner is also very happy to do him a favor.

　　The harmonious atmosphere conveyed in the picture is quite stimulating, implying that Beijing is becoming a more international and friendly city. Moreover, the whole country of China is opening her arms to embrace a world that is witnessing strong globalization. Against such a background, Chinese citizens are presented with a lively stage for more frequent and in-depth communications with people from the outside world. Especially at the eve of China’s hosting the 2008 Olympic Games, studying English, for instance, is no longer a business of the youngsters, but of those of all ages, occupations, and social status.

　　In my opinion, this tendency is very encouraging. That is, Chinese people are increasingly interested in the rest of the world, and are quite willing and ready to befriend foreigners. Consequently, it can enhance not merely economic trade but more importantly, culture communications. With more mutual understanding, China and the world can both anticipate a brighter future.

　　譯文：

　　這幅圖描述了一個家住北京的老人在地鐵上遇到一個老外的情景。顯然這個老人正在學習英語，因此他抓住了這個機會不僅和老外練習口語，而且還問了一些問題。從圖中我們可以看到這個外國人也很樂意幫忙。

　　這幅圖中所傳達的和諧氛圍令人非常振奮，說明北京正在變成一個更加國際化和友好的城市。更進一步說，整個中國正在張開雙臂擁抱全球化的世界。在這一背景下，中國人也站到了一個生動的舞臺上與外面世界的人們進行頻繁和深入的交流。特別是在中國舉辦2008年奧運會前夕，學習英語不再是年輕人的任務，所有年齡、職業(yè)和社會地位的人們都在學習英語。

　　我認為這種趨勢非常鼓舞人心。中國人對于這個世界越來越感興趣，更加愿意與外國人為友。這不僅能夠促進經(jīng)濟上的貿(mào)易，更能促進文化交流。彼此間深入的了解能夠使中國和世界都能展望一個更加美好的未來。
