what show business calls cross-casting:men playing female roles or women mens,the latter being much more common to offset the much larger proportion of male parts in plays.最近伦敦戏剧界女扮男、男演女的反串之风颇为盛行，在戏剧方面，女扮男的情形要比男演女的情形更加常见，因为戏剧里面的男性角色要远远多于女性角色。也有人说 regender 这个词是表示“反串”的，其实不然。Regender 一般用来指 the rewriting of texts to convert male parts into female ones in a play（在戏剧演出中将作品中的男性角色改成女性角色，即角色重塑），与现实演出中的“反串”表演并不是一回事。加拿大银行开课 教富家子弟理财Canadian bank teaches rich kids how to stay richWealth managers at Bank of Montreal kept hearing the same things from Canada's richest families:Help me!My kids know nothing about money and will squander the family fortunes.Wealth managers at Bank of Montreal kept hearing the same things from Canada's richest families:Help me!My kids know nothing about money and will squander the family fortunes.Two years later,the one-day seminar aimed at the grown children of what the bank calls its"high net worth families"has a waiting list,and is taking to the road to teach heirs and heiresses across Canada how to manage their money."Word has gotten out about the program,"said Jean Blacklock,vice-president of wealth services at Canada's fourth-largest bank."Our competitors are not offering anything similar.and parents are very happy to see how excited their children were after attending the seminar."Many were less thrilled before they attended,forced to participate by parents who control the purse strings."Levels of interest vary,"admitted Jim Davies,the New-York based expert who teaches the day-long course."You get one who says:'I play the guitar and draw,and my father told me I have to go to this or he'd cut me off'."But the economic crisis and grim headlines have upped appetites for the seminar,aimed at teaching a few key generalities:how to set goals,balance a budget,and avoid getting swindled by Bernie Madoff-esque money managers."They're concerned about that,of course they are,"said Davies,a New York Institute of Finance faculty member who has been teaching children of the wealthy for 20 years.The code word for the seminar is discretion.Blacklock declined to name clients,saying only that parents have a net worth of at least C$500,000.She said it is frequently a family affair."Siblings often come together,or we have cousin combinations,"Blacklock explained,showing the plush seminar room,68 stories above Toronto's financial district,where wealthy heirs had enjoyed wall-to-wall views of Lake Ontario only moments before.(Agencies)加拿大蒙特利尔银行的理财经理们过去总是从该国最富裕的家庭听到同样的话：帮帮我！我的孩子对理财一无所知，总有一天会荡尽家财。两年之后的今天，蒙特利尔银行专门针对“高额资产家庭”子弟推出的的一日知识讲座颇受追捧，该讲座主要教授加拿大富豪家族的继承人们如何管理财富。该银行的理财服务部副总监吉恩?布莱克洛克说：“有关开课的消息已经传出去。我们提供的服务是竞争对手所没有的，家长们看到他们的孩子参加讲座后很兴奋也感到非常开心。”蒙特利尔银行是加拿大第四大银行。很多孩子之前并不感兴趣，是在管钱的父母的逼迫下才去听课的。来自纽约、教授该理财课程的专家吉姆?达维斯坦称：“大家的兴趣程度各不相同。有个学员说，我爱弹吉它画画，但我爸告诉我必须去上这个课，要不他就不给我钱花。”但经济危机和各种郁闷的消息增加了该讲座的吸引力。该讲座旨在教授几个主要的常识性问题，包括如果设定目标，保持预算平衡以及如何避免受麦道夫这样的理财经理的诈骗等等。达维斯说：“他们很关心这些问题，这是当然的。”达维斯是纽约财政学院的一名老师，他教授富家子弟理财已有 20 年。该讲座的关键词是谨慎。布莱克洛克拒绝提供学员信息，只称参加培训的学员的家庭净资产至少为 50 万加元。据她介绍，家庭成员们总是一起来听课。布莱克洛克解释说：“一家的兄弟姐妹常常一起来听课，也有表亲一起来的。”讲座教室十分豪华，位于多伦多金融区 68 层的高楼之上，在这里这些富家子弟们刚刚欣赏到安大略湖的全景。英国慈善义工获“世界最好工作”British fundraiser

Jiang Zemin's Speech at Harvard University,November 1,1997 Mr.President,Ladies and Gentlemen,I wish to thank President Rudenstine,for inviting me to this old yet modernized institution of the United States in this golden fall.Since its founding some 360 years ago,Harvard has nurtured a great number of outstanding statesmen,scientists,writers and businessmen,in-cluding six of the American Presidents and over thirty Nobel Prize win-ners.The fact that Harvard was founded before the United States of Amer-ica testifies to its position in American history.Harvard is among the first American universities to accept Chinese students.The Chinese educational,scientific and cultural communitieshave all along maintained academic exchanges with this university.Harvardhas thus made useful contribution to the enhanced mutual understandingbetween the Chinese and American peoples.Mutual understanding is the basis for state-to-state relations.WithoutIt,it would be impossible for countries to build trust and promote coopera-tion with each other.Since the establishment of diplomatic ties betweenChina and the United States,the exchanges and mutual understanding be-tween our two peoples have broadened and deepened steadily.However,this is not enough.To promote the development of China-US relations,China needs to know the United States better and vice versa.To know China better,one may approach it from different angles,China today has evolved from its past.China is a country with 5,000 years of civilization.Therefore,it is important to approach China from a histor-ical and cultural perspective.I recall my first lesson on calculus in high school.My teacher quoted aline from Zhunag Zi(cir 369-286 BC),which reads"cut away half of arod and keep on halving what is left,and there will be no end to that pro-cess."This gave me a vivid concept of limit.It shows that the ancient Chi-nese realized the endless process of changes of matter and had a fairly goodunderstanding of nature.As early as 2,500 BC,the Chinese began astro-nomical observation and geographical survey,and gradually formed a world outlook of"Heaven and Man are one."China produced in its historymany outstanding philosophers,thinkers,statesmen,strategists,scien-ties,writers and artists and left us numerous volumes of literature.Thescene of"contention of a hundred schools of thought"brought forth in theSpring and Autumn Period 2,500 years ago and the Warring States Periodover 2,200 years ago and the emergence of various schools of thought andtheir exponents such as Lao Zi and Confucius(551-479 BC)occupy a veryimportant position in the world history of philosophy.Ancient China madeunique contributions to many areas of science including astronomy,calen-dric system,geography,mathematics,agriculture,medicine and the hu-manities.Records of solar and lunar eclipses are found in the inscriptionson bones or tortoise shells of the Shang Dynasty over 3,000 years ago.Inthe 2,100 years(221 BC-1911)from the Qin Dynasty to the late Qing Dy-nasty,the 27 appearances of Halley's Comet were all recorded in China,Zhang Heng(78-139)of the Han Dynasty invented a seismograph to de-termine the location of earthquakes and an armillary sphere that showed themovement of the sun,moon and other stars.Mathematicians in the pre-Qin days over 2,200 years ago put forward the proposition known as thePythagorean theorem in the West today.In the Northern and Southern Dy-nasties in the 4th century AD,China's mathematician Zu Chongzhi(429-500)calculated the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter tobe 3.1415926.China's silk-weaving,porcelain making,metallurgy andshipbuilding very early reached the world's advanced level.In the Ming Dy-nasty,Zhu Zaiyu(1536-1610?)initiated the twelve-tone temperamentwhich later became the universal standard tones.The Chinese medicine is aunique school of its own.Particularly,China's four great inventions of pa-per making,gunpowder,printing and compass had once changed the faceof the world.China had been a world leader in science and technology forone thousand years until the 15th century.These inventions and creationsof China represented lights of reason in the harmonious development of man and nature and the integration of the scientific spirit and moral ideals.China's culture in history has never stopped developing.It has pro-gressed through the contention and infiltration of various disciplines andschools of thought,and also through the mutual exchanges and learning be-tween China and other countries in the world.From old times,the Chinesepeople came to know full well the importance of"drawing widely uponothers'strong points to improve oneself."The Han and Tang were bothdynasties of economic prosperity and also flourishing international ex-changes.The trips of imperial envoy Zhang Qian to the Western regions(139-126,119 BC)opened up the world-famous Silk-Road;EminentMonk Xuan Zang(602-664)of Tang made a long journey and broughtback ancient culture of South Asian countries in the form of Buddhist su-tras.In the Ming Dynasty,Chinese navigator Cheng Ho(1371-1435)ledfleets to what was then called the"West Sea"seven times in the 15th centu-ry spreading the Chinese culture to distant land.Only later on,especiallyin late Qing Dynasty,did the feudal rulers adopt a policy of seclusion,which hampered China's progress and its exchanges with the outside world.After the opium War(1840-1842),generation after generation of en-lightened Chinese people have,for national rejuvenation,spared no effortsin learning from Western countries'advanced scientific thought and fruit of civilization,which in combination with China's realities pushed forwardChina's social reforms and development.Today,the Chinese people whoare struggling to achieve modernization have made opening-up a basic statepolicy and are conduction extensive exchanges and cooperation with the rest of the world,thus creation a brand-new situation of opening-up in the Chi-nese history.Sunlight is composed of seven colors,so is our world full of differentcolors.Every country and every nation has its own historical and cultural,traditions,strong points and advantages.We should respect and learnfrom each other and draw upon others'strong points to make up one's own,deficiencies,thus achieving common progress.In the prolonged course of its development,China has formed its finehistorical and cultural traditions,which have been either developed or sub-lated with the changes of the times and social progress.These traditionshave exerted a profound impact on the values and way of life of the Chinesepeople today,and on China's road of advance.Here,I would lick to makesome observations on the following aspects,which I hope will help youknow China better.First,the tradition of solidarity and unity.The Chinese nation is a big family composed of 56 nationalities.Since time immemorial,people of all our nationalities have established close-knit political,economic and cultur-al links
