Part 2

Passage interpretation: English to Chinese

Imagine looking up to gaze at the moon on a clear summer night only to see the sky full of glowing advertising billboards. That’s the future envisioned by a Russian start-up which plans to launch billboard advertisements into low-Earth orbit as early as 2021.  // 

Russian company StartRocket announced plans to introduce orbital advertising billboards. The ads would only be visible at night but could be seen from just about anywhere on the planet. The company could start testing its sky advertisements next year.  // 

“We are ruled by brands and events,” StartRocket project leader Vlad Sitnikov said. “The Super Bowl, Coca Cola, Brexit, the Olympics, Mercedes, FIFA, Supreme and the Mexican wall.  // The economy is the blood system of society. Entertainment and advertising are at its heart. We will live in space, and humankind will start delivering its culture to space. The more professional and experienced pioneers will make it better for everyone.”  // 

However, not everyone agrees that having enormous billboard-style advertisements in the night sky will be good for everyone.  // Experts have argued that the bright ad banners could interfere with the ability to study the skies, or that the grid of satellites will eventually become space junk and potentially interfere with more significant space activity or aviation safety.  // 

Sitnikov doesn’t seem to be bothered about the criticism his company’s project has received from the scientific community, though. He claims space advertising is inevitable, and compared the reactions “Orbital Display” has been getting to people’s reactions to TV ads at the advent of television.  // 

Part 3

Passage interpretation: Chinese to English

博鳌亚洲论坛自成立以来，聚焦亚洲、放眼世界，围绕各方关注的经济社会发展重大课题，提出很多有价值的意见和建议，已成为在亚洲乃至世界有影响的高层次对话平台。 // 去年，中国国家主席习近平在博鳌亚洲论坛年会开幕式上发表了“开放共创繁荣、创新引领未来”的主旨演讲。 // 今年年会的主题是“共同命运、共同行动、共同发展”。共同命运，就是同舟共济，大家都在同一条船上；共同行动，就是协商协调，有事情大家商量着办；共同发展，就是包容发展，有了成果大家共同分享。 // 期待大家发表真知灼见，凝聚共识，为亚洲和世界的和平稳定、发展繁荣作出积极贡献。 // 
    世界经济虽继续保持增长，但受国际贸易投资低迷、保护主义加剧等因素影响，呈现动能减弱、增速放缓态势， // 同时新的不稳定性不确定性还在上升，很多方面变幻莫测、扑朔迷离，市场信心不稳。 // 困难和挑战确实不容低估，但也不应悲观失望，世界经济中还有很多积极因素，尤其是新一轮技术和产业革命方兴未艾。 // 经济下行压力和增长动力相互胶着，前景如何取决于各方的认识和行动。 //

Part 2

参考译文：

想象一下，在一个晴朗的夏日夜晚仰望明月，却看见满天都是闪闪发光的广告牌。这就是俄罗斯一家初创企业设想的未来。该公司计划最早于2021年将广告牌发射到近地轨道上。

俄罗斯公司StartRocket宣布，计划推出入轨广告牌这些广告牌只有夜晚可见，但是在地球上几乎任何地方都能看得到。该公司明年就可能开始测试“天空广告”。

StartRocket公司的项目负责人弗拉德·西特尼科夫说：“我们的生活被各种品牌和大事所主导着。超级碗、可口可乐、英国脱欧、奥运会、梅赛德斯、国际足联、潮牌Supreme、墨西哥边境墙。经济是社会的血液系统。娱乐和广告是经济的中心。未来我们将生活在太空中，人类会开始将文化传送到太空。作为先驱者，我们越专业，越有经验，对大家越有好处。”

然而，不是所有人都赞成，在夜空中放多个巨大的广告牌对大家都有利。专家指出，耀眼的广告牌会阻碍人类研究天空，而且这种卫星网最终会成为太空垃圾，可能会对更重要的太空活动或飞行安全造成干扰。

不过西特尼科夫似乎并不在意科学团体对公司项目的批评声。他表示，太空广告是不可避免的，并将“轨道展示”所引起的反应和电视机刚出现时人们对电视广告的反应相提并论。

Part 3

参考译文：

 The Boao Forum, with its founding focus on Asia and a global perspective, has put forth many valuable suggestions and recommendations on major issues of public interest concerning economic and social development, evolving into an influential high-level dialogue platform for Asia and beyond. At the opening of its annual conference last year, President Xi Jinping delivered a keynote speech titled “Openness for Greater Prosperity, Innovation for a Better Future”. The conference this year has chosen a highly relevant theme of “Shared Future, Concerted Action, Common Development”. We have a shared future just like passengers on the same boat who need to help each other. We need to take concerted actions to address challenges on the basis of consultation and coordination. We need to pursue common development, which should be inclusive and delivers benefits to all. I hope you will share insights, build consensus and contribute to promoting peace, stability, development and prosperity in Asia and the world.

 World economic growth has remained in the positive territory, yet it has been weighed down by factors such as sluggish international trade and investment, and rising protectionism. New uncertainties and destabilizing factors are mounting. The situation on many fronts is intricate and volatile, compounding market unease. While no one should underestimate the difficulties and challenges, we must not lose faith or feel pessimistic, as we can also see many positive factors in the global economy, not least the impressive progress of the new round of technological and industrial revolution. There seems to be a contest of strength between downward pressure on the one hand and growth momentum on the other. How things play out depends on the judgment and actions of all stakeholders.
