Passage 1

【原文】

The whole world has focused its attention on China, an oriental country that still appears mysterious to many people in the west. China is providing the greatest fascination in the 21st century.//

Since the Second World War, countries like Britain and Germany have had major achievements and minor problems, while Southeast Asia has had major problems and minor achievements.//

China, though, is experiencing both major achievements and major problems. I do believe the tough line on population control has been a great contribution to humanity on an international level.//

I'm positive that China will definitely become an economic superpower in the not too distant future and will play an irreplaceable role in promoting economic prosperity in the world.

【答案】

全世界的注意力都集中在中國這個對許多西方人士來說依然十分神秘的國家。中國是21世紀最具有吸引力的國家。//

自從第二次世界大戰以來，英國和德國這樣的國家取得了巨大成就，遇到了小問題。東南亞遇到了大問題，取得了小成就。//

而中國既取得了大成就，也面臨大問題。我確實相信，中國在人口控制方面采取的強硬路線(從全球來說)為人類做出了重大貢獻。//

我相信，中國一定會在不遠的將來成為經濟超級大國，在促進世界的經濟繁榮方面發揮不可替代的作用。
