- <问答题>Directions:Translate the following text into Chinese. Write your translation on the ANSWER SHEET. (15 points) Rather than rely on one or two ventures, some multinationals are diversifying into a variety of business. Others are sticking to their core business but diversifying product ranges or the geo- graphical markets they tackle. Take Yaohan, Japan’s retailing giant for example. Originally it planned to open a joint venture supermarket in Shanghai selling competitively priced fresh and packaged foods and drinks to local customers, but eventually as many as 1,000 such stores in the Yangtze River basin, operated on a franchise basis. Also in the works is a 108,000-square-metre shopping center in Shanghai’s Pudong district, which will be the Asia’s biggest. It will feature a host of retailers and restaurants, an amusement center and other recreational facilities. To feed its supermarkets and mammoth shopping center, Yaohan wants to set up a chain of computerized distribution centers. These will provide a broad selection of goods for both domestic and over- seas buyers as well as various after sales services.

(10 points) Sustainable development is applied to just about everything from energy to clean water and economic growth, and as a result it has become difficult to question either the basic assumptions behind it or the way the concept is put to use. This is especially true in agriculture, where sustainable development is often taken as the sole measure of progress without a proper appreciation of historical and cultural perspectives. To start with, it is important to remember that the nature of agriculture has changed markedly throughout history, and will continue to do so. Medieval agriculture in northern Europe fed, clothed and sheltered a predominantly rural society with a much lower population density than it is today. It had minimal effect on biodiversity, and any pollution it caused was typically localized. In terms of energy use and the nutrients captured in the product it was relatively inefficient. Contrast this with farming since the start of the industrial revolution. Completion from overseas led farmers to specialize and increase yields. Throughout this period food became cheaper, safe and more reliable. However, these changes have also led to habitat loss and to diminishing biodiversity. What’s more, demand for animal products in developing countries is growing so fast that meeting it will require an extra 300 million tons of grain a year by 2050. Yet the growth of cities and industry is reducing the amount of water available for agriculture in many regions. All this means that agriculture in the 21st century will have to be very different from how it was in the 20th. This will require radical thinking. For example, we need to move away from the idea that traditional practices are inevitably more sustainable than new ones. We also need to abandon the notion that agriculture can be “zero impact”. The key will be to abandon the rather simple and static measures of sustainability, which centre on the need to maintain production without increasing damage. Instead we need a more dynamic interpretation, one that looks at the pros and cons of all the various way land is used. There are many different ways to measure agricultural performance besides food yield: energy use, environmental costs, water purity, carbon footprint and biodiversity. It is clear, for example, that the carbon of transporting tomatoes from Spain to the UK is less than that of producing them in the UK with additional heating and lighting. But we do not know whether lower carbon footprints will always be better for biodiversity. What is crucial is recognizing that sustainable agriculture is not just about sustainable food production.
