Question: The Japanese Finance Minister, Mr Shoichi Nakagawa, has resigned yesterday because he was apparently drunk at the G7 meeting. What do you make of his miserable behaviour and what do you make of the miserable Japanese economy now?
Prime Minister: Well I am looking forward to meeting the Japanese Prime Minister and whoever is the Finance Minister when it comes to the G20 meeting. We will be meeting all the time, I don’t think there will be time off for many of the events that you are talking about that happened in Rome.
Your Finance Minister has actually been very ambitious in some of the things he has recommended, as has your Prime Minister to the world community and I do look forward to working with Japan, particularly its proposals to strengthen the international financial system.
それと最後の方 Question: My question is again regarding to the Japanese Finance Minister – I am sorry. In terms of responsibility do you think it is natural for him to step down and if Mr Alistair Darling did the same thing, what is your action for that?
Prime Minister: This was obviously one of the more interesting of Finance Ministers meetings. I certainly never experienced such publicity of a meeting when I was Chancellor of the Exchequer. But you wouldn’t expect me to comment on the Japanese Finance Minister’s personal decision to offer his resignation, that is a matter for him.
Invented in the latter part of the 19th century, automobiles were originally produced at a great cost to the individuals buying them, which created a wealth gap separating those who could afford a car and those who could not. In the days when the average American worker was making only $2.50 a day, it was inconceivable to think that the lower class of working Americans could even dream of owning a car that cost several thousand dollars.

A child discovers before he is a year old that an object which he sees and which is then taken away continues to exist,and in time will return. This is the first great step of human development, when out-of-sight ceases to be out-of-mind. Several years later in this life,the child takes the second and greater step. He now makes an image of the absent thing,and is able to use the image to think himself into unknown situation.At that moment,he enters the gateway to all imaginative thought and this includes the processes of thought which we use in reasoning.
At the venue, Fukuhara, who is widely recognized even in China, received a big ovation from the crowd during player introductions prior to the competition. The crowed also cheered her on during her match, shouting “Go Fukuhara Ai!” After handling a local TV interview in fluent hinese, Fukuhara’s excitement was evident. “I’m so happy,” she said. About her dream pairing with Wang Nan, she commented, “Wang did eighty percent of the work today. In the world championship I represented Japan and she represented China, so it felt a little strange to be playing together as a doubles pairing.” Fukuhara is quite familiar with China. For the past six year, Liaoning has been her practice base, and she considers it a second home. She is fluent in Chinese, and has developed her skills by practicing with top local players, which has made her a popular figure in China.
At the World Table Tennis Championships in Shanghai held in April and May 2005, aithough she failed to get beyond the best 16, the local media followed her progress every day. And prior to the start of the championships, she played a role in fostering goodwill between the two nations, she was appointed a “people’s ambassador” by the Chinese ambassador to Japan. For Fukuhara, who will be trying for a medal at the Beijing Olympics, her participation in the Chinese Super League provides her with a place to develop her skills. “Politics and sports are different. China is the place that has helped me develop since I was little,” she said. And while Fukuhara may view herself first as a table tennis player, many others have high hopes that she will serve a role as a bridge between China and Japan.

Kawai Yuki is an 18-year-old volleyball player. She was chosen as a member of Japan's national team for the FIVB Women's Volleyball World Cup 2007 when she was still a high school student. She is a setter. The role of a setter is not only to set the ball up for the spikers. As a setter, she was to lead the team and control the game. At first, she was nervous to play on the national team. But soon, she got used to it and could play as usual. Pressure doesn't seem to bother her. Yuki has several strong points. Yuki sets balls up softly like floating balloons. They are easy for spikers to hit. She also can set a ball quickly. She can set balls up in different ways for different spikers. However, she has another strong point. Her former coach says, "She does not get upset. She is calm even on the world stage." Now her goal is to become like Takeshita Yoshie, the captain and setter of the national team. Yoshie played in the Athens Olympic Games. She watches the game and team members carefully, and sets a ball quickly. Yuki has a lot to learn from her. "I used to watch Olympic volleyball games on TV. Now I play in the games as a member of the national team. I hope I can impress people with my play," said Yuki. She is looking forward to playing in the Olympic Games.
This might seem to be a strange letter , but once you see what I'm trying to do , maybe it will not sound so strange. First off , I have a 16-year-old son who is fairly bright. No genius you understand , but a lot smarter than I am in math and such.
和訳お願いします。 He's trying to grow up and figure out himself and his world a little. A bit overweight , a little shy , without a lot of self-confidence. He's going to be a junior this coming fall , so college is not far away. He'd love to get into some good school , but with his grades the way they are that could be a problem. Whatever he wants to do is fine with me , as long as he does it to the best of his ability.
和訳お願いします。 Martin ,that's his name , sees the basic stuff as too easy for him and hence it's beneath him to hand in the routine day -to-day assignments. He'd rather be doing the neat , fun stuff that the rest of the class never gets to do. The trouble is that grades come from doing the routine stuff , not the exotic stuff , so his grades are down.

Part1 Today, there are thousands of dying languages in the world. As for 426 of them, only a small number of elderly people speak them. As for 52 of the dying languages, just one native speaker is alive. Eyak is one of them. Eyak comes from an old language spoken near the Yukon and Tanana rivers in Alaska 3000 yeas ago. The Eyak, a Native American people, lived by fishing salmon and hunting seals. In the middle of the 19th century, they numbered a few hundred and spoke a language of their own. Now the Eyak language is likely to die out in an apartment building in Anchorage, Alaska. Marie Smith Jones, a white-haired Eyak woman, lives in the apartment. Aged 81, she is hard of hearing. Since 1993, when her sister died, Marie has been the last Eyak that can speak Eyak fluently.
Part2 Is the death of languages a thing to care about? Some people believe that diversity in languages has done a lot of harm to human beings. In the Congo, for instance, where more than 200 languages are spoken, people have often suffered from civil wars. Imagine all of the Congo’s 50 million people speaking the same language. There might be no war. Other people are opposed to that opinion. They say speaking different languages doesn’t cause wars. If people are ready to accept other peoples’ ways of living and thinking, there might de no war. The death of languages is not good for the health and happiness of human beings. When a languages dies, useful information about local plants and animals dies with it. Many modern medicines have come from such information.
Part3 Globalization is probably helping to cause the death of languages. English, especially, is becoming increasingly important all over the world, while languages of small minorities are likely to die. But languages, unlike people, can be brought back to life. The last fluent speaker of Miami died in the 1960s, but Daryl Baldwin has revived the language. In the early twenties, when he was a university student, he came across his ancestral language. He taught himself the vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation of Miami, and then he brought the language into his home. Now the Baldwins have a rule. Whenever possible, they speak only Miami among themselves. About 80 percent of the vocabulary his 3-yea-old daughter has is Miami. Other Miami people are joining Baldwin’s effort, doing things like producing a CD-ROM to teach Miami to children.
Part4 It is, however, very difficult for a few individuals to fully a language. Governments need to help them. The Coptic language was used by the Copts, native Egyptians, till the Arabs came to Egypt in the 7th century. Some Coptic Christians in Egypt have been trying to revive its use in their homes for many years. However, it is difficult for them to spread it because Arabic is now Egypt’s official language. Kamal Farid Ishaq speaks Coptic at home. He also has a group of people to speak the language with. “When the Jews founded their own country again in 1948, they revived the Hebrew language. It was because the government helped,” Ishaq says. “If the government feels Coptic is the identity of Egypt and help to teach it at school and universities, the language will spread.”
Part5 In the past, some Western government helped to silence hundreds of languages. The Australian government, for example, attempted to “civilize” the Aborigines by giving them Western schooling and forcing them to use English. Likewise, in the United States, Native Americans were forced to use nothing but English. In the years, however, the trend has been reversed. In Australia, the government is now helping to revive Aboriginal languages. Kaurna, a language that died out in 1927, is now taught in university, and 50 people can speak it fluently. But for such success stories, many languages are inn danger. Marie Smith Jones has come to accept the fact that she is the last speaker of Eyak. Still, she refuses to give Eyak up. She says, “I have this strong feeling: Eyak may come back. You may laugh at my dream, but I feel it will come true.”
Tuvalu is now in a critical stage of its long history. The people will lose their homeland if global warming continues. This means that a unique culture that took thousands of years to build will not be passed on to future generations. Can you imagine losing your homeland forever? Such a tragedy may happen to us in the future, if we do not act quickly. The future of Tuvalu and the earth is in hands.
Part1 At the begining of her career as a professional musician , Abbie Conantwas in Italy , playing for the Royal Opera of Turin . This was in 1980. That summer , she applied for eleven openings for various orchestra jobs thoughout Europe . She got one reponse : The Munich Philharmonic Orchestra. "Dear Herr Abbie Conant ," the letter began . In retrospect , that mistake should have set off an alarm in Conant 's mind. The audition was held in the Deutsches Museum in Munich . There were thirty-three candidates and each played behind a screen , which made them invisible to the selection committee. Screened auditions were rare in Europe at that time , But one of the applicans was the son of sometims in one of the Munich orchestras , so , for the sake of fairness , the Philharmonic decided to make the audition blind . Conant was number sixteen.She played Ferdinand David's Konzertino for Tromborn , which is the usual audition piece in Germany , and missed one note (she cracked a G). She said to herself , That 's it , and went backstage and started packing up her belongings to go home.
But the commitee thought otherwise . They were amazed . Trained cjassical musicians say they can tell whether a player is good almost instantly - sometimes in just the first few bars - and with Conant they knew. After she left the audition room , the Philharmonic's music director , Sergiu Celibidache , cried out , "That 's who we want !" Somebody went backstage to find Conant . She came back into the audition room , and when she stopped out from behind the screen , she heard someone shout , "Was ist'n des? Meine Goetter!" They were expecting Herr Conant . This was Frau Conant . It was an awkard situation , to say the least . Celibidache was a conductor from the old school , a proud and strong -willed man with very definite ideas about how music ought to be played - and about who ought to play the music. What's more , this was Germany , the land where classical music was born. To Gelibidance , a woman could not play the trombone. The Munich Philharmonic had one or two women on the violin and the oboe. But those were "feminine" instruments. The trombone was masculine. It was the instrument that men played in military marching bands.
Conant joined the orchestra , and Celibidache was extremely upset. A year passed. In May of 1981 , Cmant was called to a meeting. She was told that she might be demoted to second trombone. No reason was given. Conant went on probation for a year , to prove herself again. It made nf difference. At the end of the year , she was demoted. "You know the problem ," Celibidache told her. "We need a man for the solotrombone." Conant had no choice but to take the case to cour. The orchestra argued , "Conant does not possess the necessary physical strength to be a leader of the trombone section." Conant was sent to a medicical clinic for extensive testing . Her lungs were extremely strong. The nurse even asked if she was an athlete. The case dragge oo. The orchestra claimed that Conant's "shortness of breath was clearly obvious " in her performance of the famous trombone solo in Mozart's Requiem , even though the guest conductor of those performamces had singled out Conant for praise. A special audition in front of a trombone expert was set up. Coant played seven of the nost difficult passages in classical music. The expert said she was incredible. The orchertra claimed that she was unreliable and unprofessional. It was a lie. It was a lie. After eight years , she was reinstated as first trombone.
The world of classical music - particularly in its European home - was until fairly recently only for white men. Women , it was believed , simply could not play like men. They didn't have the strength , the character , or the ability for certain kinds of pieces. Their lips were different. Their lungs were less powerful. Their hands were smaller. But over the past few decades , the classial music world has undergone a revolution. In the United States , orchestra musicians began to organize themselves. They formed a union and fought for proper contracts , health benefits , and along with that came a push for fairness in hiring . An official audition committee was established instead of a conductor making the decision all by himself. Screens were erected between the committee and the auditioner. As these new rules were put in place around the country , an extraordinary thinghappened :orchestras began to hire women. In the past years , screens have become commonplace , and the number of women in the top U.S. orchestras has increased fivefold. In Europe , too ,more and more women have been hired in major orchestras. The efforts and struggles of pioneer women like Abbie Conant have paid off at last.
On the way back, Maggie suggested that the have their photo taken on their wedding day. Hugh only had one pound, but he wanted to make Maggie happy. Hugh knocked on the door of a photo studio. They explained their situation to the shop owner. The owner kindly told them that he could take a photo for them and would keep it until they came back with five pounds. Maggie and Hugh promised that they would come back, and had their photo taken.

コージ:There may be some problems with cloning animals, but you'd allow the clonig with cloning animals, but you'd allow the clonig of plants, wouldn't you? キャロル:Actually,I'm against it. Cloning destroys the natural environment. コージ:Are you serious? I think human beings are animals that change the environment. キャロル:I think so, too. But we must use cloning thechnology with care. You certainly don't agree with human cloning, do you? コージ:I'm definitely against that. But I think it would be OK to allow cloning of other animals and plants. How about cloning animals that are about to become extinct? キャロル:That's ridiculous. It's almost always human beings' fault that those animals are disappearing. It would be better to make efforts to restore their original environment for them. コージ:You're absolutely right. But what about cloning livestock, for example? It may be possible to solve food shortages by cloning lost of cattle. I think there are various ways cloning technology can be used.
I remember a summer night whensuch a thought came home to me. It was a clear night without a moon With a friend, Iwent out on a flat part of the island, being all but surrounded by the waters of the day. There the horizons were distant rims on the edge of space. We la and looked up at the sky and the millions of stars blazing in darkness. The night was so still that we could hear the buoys trembling beyond the mounth of the day. Once or twice, a word spoken by someone on the far shore was carried across on the clear air. a few lights burned in cottages. Otherwise ther was no reminder of other human life; my companion and i were alone with the stars. I have never sees them so beautifu: the misty river of the Milky Way flowing across the sky, the patterns of the consellstions standing out bright and clear, a blazing planet low on the horizon. Once or twice a meteor burned its way into the earth's atmosphere. It occurred to me then that if we knew this was one of the sights never to be seen again, or maybe only in a century, or even once in a human lifetimes, this littl, flat island would certainly be filled with curious spectators. However, assuming meteors could be seen many scores of nights in any year, the inhabitants probably would not give a thought to the irreplaceable beauty existing overhead. Thinking you could see it any time wil deprive you of the real chance to appreciate its beauty for what it's worth.
