【正文】

Ji Xiaojun：Now please welcome contestant No.14 Zou Yun from Beijing University of Technology.

Liu Xin：Let's welcome her.Are you ready?

Zou Yun：Sure.

Liu Xin：Please go ahead.

/

季小军：现在让我们欢迎来自北京工业大学的14号选手邹韵上场。

刘欣：让我们欢迎她。准备好了吗？

邹韵：当然。

刘欣：请开始吧。

Zou Yun：Okay.Ladies and gentleman,Beijing is a world-famous city,It's noticed for its long history,rich culture heritage and friendly citizens.But it also famous for more,I better say,notorious for its severe traffic jam.Many people attribute traffic jam to the increased number of cars,unreasonable city planing and undeveloped public transportation,which I totally agree,but,there is something we should not ignore,the green light.Actually,the green light itself hasn't change much,what people's attitudes towards them have changed dramatically.A green light is supposed to be a traffic signal which give cars permission to proceed,but many people nowadays,it has become a starting gun,immediately after it turn red to green,most drivers are step on the accelerator,rushing to be the frist one to go through as if the green light is screaming，"run!run as fast as you can!"A green light should be good,but when people began treating them starting gun,it is not good.It is not good to the traffic because they rush after the green light always leads to serious order and terrible chaos.It is not good to people,after those crazy rushes,many people lose their patience and happy mood for the whole day.More importantly,a starting gun green light sends people a warning signal,which reveals people's attitudes towards life has become impatient and impetuous.In those crazy rushes,we may have saved a few seconds,but we have lost something more valuable,such as the joy of driving,the sincerity of patience and the virtue of altruism.

Ladies and gentleman,let's treat the green light as a green light, instead of the starting gun,and let green be good.Thank you.

邹韵：好的。女士们先生们，北京是一座闻名世界的城市。她以悠久的历史、丰富的文化遗产和友好的民风而享誉全球。但北京严重的交通拥堵问题也人尽皆知。很多人将这归因于增长的汽车数量、不合理的城市规划和不发达的公共交通，这几点我都完全赞同。但是，有一点我们不能忽略，那就是绿灯。实际上，绿灯本身并没有发生什么改变，改变的是我们对待绿灯的态度。绿灯本是允许车辆通行的交通信号，但如今很多人却将它当成了发令枪，红灯刚一变绿，人们就脚踩油门冲上去，好像绿灯在大喊：“快跑！以最快的速度奔跑！”绿灯本应是有益的，但当人们将绿灯当成发令枪时，绿灯便不再有益。它对交通将不再有益，因为冲过绿灯后往往会造成严重的秩序混乱。它对人们也不再有益，因为这些疯狂的过路者会让很多人失去耐心，丧失全天的好心情。更重要的是，变成发令枪的绿灯其实给大家发送了一个警告信号,它揭示人们对生活的态度已经变得急躁和冲动。这些疯狂的过路者可能节省了几秒钟的时间，但是却丢失了更有价值的东西，例如开车的乐趣、耐心的诚意和奉献的美德。

女士们先生们，绿灯不是发令枪，让我们以原本的方式看待绿灯。让绿灯照亮生活。谢谢！

Liu Xin：Thank you very much.Now back to the traffic light issue,but with a slight different twist.

ChallengeNo.1：Okay,well  you talk about two things,one is the Beijing being notoriously having  traffic jam,and secondly you talk about the joy of driving,so can you  put these two things together and help us to understand how can we enjoy  the joy of driving in a city like Beijing which is notorious for traffic  jam?

Zou Yun：Okay,thank you for the question.

ChallengeNo.1：I rush hour, of course.

/

刘欣：现在我们略带不同地探讨一下关于红绿灯的问题。

考官1：好的。你讲了两件事，一个是北京交通拥堵的问题，第二个是开车的乐趣，你能不能将这两件事联系起来，帮助我们理解怎么才能在一个像北京这种交通拥堵非常严重的城市享受到开车的乐趣呢？

邹韵：好的，感谢您的提问。

考官1：当然，我指的是人在着急的状态下。

Zou Yun：Okay,now  I think that many people are holding these I hate to wait attitude,now  people just rush to do everything,you know,in order to save time,but  fact is,they are very good at saving time,but not very good at using or  spending the time that we have saved,now we begin to choose fast  food instead of enjoying dinner,now we begin,we choose to rush,instead  of waiting for the green light or you know obey the rules,so my suggestion is,please save a little time long in you schedule,don't make  your schedule too tight or too demanding,you know,wait,saving a little  time,for they,you know waiting time in your road,and you know,it's not  only a time for waiting and being patient, I think it is time for you,you know,when you are driving a car and waiting for the green light and the red light,you need time to calm down,and to think  sorrowly about you life,instead of thinking superficially,you know,at  the same time,you could enjoy every story of the,every world story,you  know,you could listen to a lot of music,and enjoy every subtle changes  in the our city,you know,in the life around you.

邹韵：好的。我觉得现在人们对等待都抱有厌恶的态度，人们为了节省时间，不管做什么事都喜欢急急忙忙去做。但事实是，这些人很擅长节省时间，但是并不擅长利用或花费他们所省下来的时间。现在我们选择选择吃快餐而非正餐，选择闯红灯而非等待绿灯或者遵守规则，所以我的建议是，请在你的日程表里多留一些时间，不要安排的太过紧凑或苛刻，节省一些在路上等待的时间，这不仅是用来等待或者忍耐，当你开车等待红绿灯时，你需要时间冷静下来，去认真反省你的生活，而非只是浅层的思考，同时，你可以观察世界、聆听音乐，感受这个城市、感受我们身边每一个微小的变化。

Ji Xiaojun：Thank you,got your point.Red light means this is time for you to think about you life deeply.Thank you for that.And now we move on to impromtu speach,pick a number please.

Zou Yun：I'd like to choose No.5.

/

季小军：谢谢，get到你的点了。红灯是我们可以用来深刻思考生活的良机。谢谢。现在进行即兴演讲环节，请选择一个数字。

邹韵：我选择5号。

Vedio：Chinese auto-maker BYD has an ambious plan to become one of the world's leading manufactures of hybrid electric cars.The thinking is evidently sound,since these enviromentally friendly vehicles using little or no petrol and causing little or no pollution clearly represents the future of car industry,the problem is cost,a green vehicle is typically twice as expensive as one that runs on petrol.Persuating potiential buyers to part with extra money for the sake of greater good，would it argued be easier if the government would set an example.

Our question is:Should State institutions be obliged to purchase green vehicles?

/

视频：中国汽车制造商比亚迪有一个雄心勃勃的计划，那就是要成为世界领先的混合动力汽车制造商。这种想法显然是合理的，因为这些环保型车辆几乎不使用汽油，并且几乎不造成污染，这显然代表了汽车行业的未来。但问题出在价格上，绿色汽车的价格通常是油耗汽车的两倍。

我们的问题是：国家机构是否有义务购买绿色车辆？

Liu Xin：Fifteen seconds to think about it.

Zou Yun：Okay.

Ji Xiaojun：Here you go.

/

刘欣：你有15秒的思考时间。

邹韵：好的。

季小军：请开始。

Zou Yun：My answer is yes.I think the State institutions should be obliged to purchase those green vehicles.I have two reasons to back up my point.First of all,it is the most efficient way for government to do in order to improve environment,because nowadays the pollution of the environment has become one of the most severe and tough topic that government is facing.And some people suggested that maybe we should close those heavy  polluted industry,but that's just something so hard to do.So I think that maybe focusing them to forcing them to buy green vehicles is the most efficient as easier way to improve the environment.And seconed thing,let's talk about the role of the government.A government is the leader,the guide of the country,it tells country where to go and to  extent can we go,therefore if the government purchase those green  vehicles first,I believe that the public will follow what the government had done and each individual will make their efforts to maker our world a greener and better place.Thank you.

/

邹韵：我的回答是肯定的。我认为国家机构有义务购买这些绿色车辆。我有两个理由支持我的观点。首先，这是政府改善环境最有效的方法，因为当下环境污染已成为政府面临的最严峻的课题之一。有人建议也许我们应该关闭那些污染严重的行业，但这很难做到。所以我认为也许集中他们强迫他们购买绿色车辆是改善环境的最有效，最简便的方法。其次，让我们谈谈政府的角色。政府是国家的领导者，它告诉国家走向哪里以及走到何种程度，因此，如果政府先购买这些绿色车辆，我相信公众会效仿政府所做的一切，每个人都将为使我们的世界更加绿色环保而努力。谢谢。

Liu Xin：Thank you very much.Now please face up the challenges from the challengers.

Zou Yun：Okay.

ChallengeNo.2：Your first point,was that this is the most efficient way to improve environment.

Zou Yun：Yeah.

/

刘欣：非常感谢，现在进入辩论环节。

邹韵：好的。

考官2：你谈到的第一点是，你认为政府购买绿色车辆是改善环境最有效的方法。

邹韵：是的。

ChallengeNo.2：The government is paying double the market value of the car for these cars,and they're getting in return marginal improvement to the environment.Isn't there more effective manners to actually improve the environment?The government could raise standards on factories,they could increase purchasing of alternative fuels for large scale production,they could invest in new clear fuel to power electricity great.How,is something that is double the market price with the fact is incredibly minimal on the large scale issue of pollution be most efficient actions the government can take?

/

考官2：政府购买这些汽车要承担普通汽车两倍的价格，但是在改善环境方面却收效甚微。难道没有更有效的方式来从实际上改善环境吗？比如政府可以提高工厂的标准，可以加大投资用于大规模生产的替代性燃料，也可以投资新的清洁燃料来为电力供电。像买绿色汽车这种付出双倍成本但在环境污染上确收效甚微的事情，怎么能是最有效率的方法呢，政府又怎么会采取行动呢。

Zou Yun：Thank you for the question.First of the thing,I think this is the most efficient way because it is much better than close these heavy polluted industries,because that will increase the unemployment rate and will retrad the economy development,and as you just said,that we should maybe invest money to some new industries,but you know that is something more expensive,and you could never know,how well that develop,but you know,if we purchase those green vehicles,it is something we know they will have future,brilliant future,because it is the trend that requires,just as you talked about money,you think is the government paying too much money to buy only those green cars,which is twice expensive than the usual cars,but that is worthwhile,because when we are buying those green vehicles we are not only buying the cars,we are buying people's health,and even people's life,because now the pollution which caused by,sorry,people's disease that caused by the environment pollution was threatening people,so I think the life is the most precious thing in life,are you saying that we should just save a little money and you know on the cars people's like,of course that should not be what a responsible government do.

/

邹韵：感谢您的提问。首先，我认为这是最有效的方法，因为它比关闭这些污染严重的工厂要好得多，关闭工厂将增加失业率，并会阻碍经济发展，正如您刚才所说的那样，我们也许应该向一些新兴行业投资，但是那样成本将会更高，而且它的发展前景是未知的，但是，购买绿色车辆的前景是已知且光明的，因为这是大势所趋。您刚才谈到金钱，您认为政府支付了高于普通汽车两倍的价格只是买到了这些绿色环保汽车，但我想说，这是值得的，因为当我们购买这些绿色车辆时，我们买到的不仅是汽车，更是人们的健康，甚至是人们的生活，因为现在环境污染……抱歉，因为环境污染导致的疾病正威胁着人们的生命，我认为生命是世界上最宝贵的东西，难道您认为只是因为高于普通汽车价格我们便应该把这关乎生命的钱省下来吗？这当然不是一个负责任的政府应该做的。

ChallengerNo.2：Well I'm looking more alternative,we are talking about great expenditure to revamp the entire line of the government own vehicles,of course country which would be millions of US dollars and multiple millions of RMB.The government has other ways to spend their money,shouldn't they invest that money in improving large scale factories,that will provide more labor,large scale of facatories provide more power and lower cost to a lot of citizens,why are they raise taxes or spend valuable tax revenue on this particular item and not other more large scale projects that could be accomplished?

/

考官2：我是要寻找更多替代方案，我们探讨的是政府重整整个车辆会花费大量资金，这将是数百万美元和人民币。政府有其他的途径支出他们的资金，难道他们不应该将这些钱投资于改善大型工厂上吗，这将为公民提供更多的劳动力岗位和更低廉的电力价格，为什么非要将宝贵的税收花费在绿色汽车上，而不去选择其他可行的大型项目？

Zou Yun：Just as I mentioned before,why this is the most efficient way because first of all,this is something we have tried before,because during the 2008 Olympics,all the cars which were taken by authorities were those green vehicles,they are called environmentally friendly cars,so we have a very good example,very succesfull example that we could follow,but you know we have no,we don't have much experiences in investing money in those new industries or fuels,that is just so risky,so,if we think about the money,or you know the feedbacks,the results,if I'm the government,I would probably choose something that's safer but will get a better results,don't you think that if we force State institutions buy those green cars,it's also a way to encourage them to make more inventions in this field,you know in the car,you know the manufacture industries,it is the way,of encourage people to do that.

/

邹韵：就像我之前提到的，为什么这是最有效的方法，因为首先，这是我们之前尝试过的，在2008年奥运会期间，政府所使用的所有汽车都是绿色环保的汽车，这是一个可以参考的非常成功的案例，但是我们在那些新兴行业或燃料投资领域并没有很多经验，这太过冒险，所以，如果要考虑资金、反馈或结果的话，如果我是政府，我会选择更安全同时能取得更好结果的东西。难道您不认为如果我们强迫国家机构购买绿色汽车也是一种鼓励汽车生产商在该领域进行更多发明创造的一种方式吗？

ChallengeNo.3：My concern is that if we have the opposite fact if that will be anti-compatitive,if we give BYD enourmous contracts from the government,they have captive the whole market and they are opt to not fill compatitive presures that will help them to be successful international companies,like copies of BYD,aren't you worry that by handing them this enormous market,it will actually be cripping the electric car industry,which is one of the most promising industries globally for China right now.

/

考官3：我担心的是，如果反竞争的话，事实可能会恰恰相反。如果政府和BYD签订了巨大的订单合同，他们将会垄断整个市场，这样一来，本应驱使他们成为国际公司的竞争压力反倒没有了，他们选择大量扩建BYD，你不担心将这么巨大的市场交给他们，实际上会使这个当下在中国最有发展前景的行业变得瘫痪吗？

Zou Yun：No,I think that because during the process of the globlization,many Chinese company have been damaging and hurt because of the threaten by the group of  other countries,so I think this is the very good challenge for those national industries to creat more inventions in this field.Of course it's challenge,but I think challenges bring us the chance to change,it might cost money,but only by doing this,by setting a good examples of doing something green,can the government,Chinese government be called the government of the people,fight people and for the people.Thank you!

/

邹韵：不，我认为由于全球化进程中，许多中国公司由于受到其他国家的威胁而受到损坏和伤害，所以这对于本土企业在这个领域进行创造发明是一个很好的挑战，我认为挑战能给我们带来了改变的机会，这可能会花费金钱，但是只有做到这一点，通过树立绿色行动的典范，中国政府才能被称为人民的政府，为人民奋斗、为人民服务的政府，谢谢！

Liu Xin：Wow,thank you，Zou Yun，thank you，you did a good job,I think this is one of the few time when the challengers listened more than talked.

Ji Xiaojun：And I guess this is the time when the challengers were facing the red light and thinking about their life deeply.

Liu Xin：Taken a moment over a reflection on your life,yes.Now,the judgers are making up their minds about Zou Yun's performance,and some comments?Maybe from the challengers?

/

刘欣：哇，谢谢，邹韵，谢谢，你的表现非常棒！我认为这是为数不多的考官听的比说的多的一次。

季小军：我猜可能考官们需要站在红灯面前好好反省一下人生了。

刘欣：是的，花点时间思考一下自己的生活。现在评委们正在对邹韵的表现进行打分，考官要来点评一下邹韵的表现吗？

ChallengerNo.2：I think you're very good,I think that you laid out your argurment incrediblely concisely.And the opening,and I think you stock to a lot of you main points and not getting drawn of target,your ablitity to sort of，keep us asking too many questions is an interesting strategic choice,I think it's actually someone beneficial to you,kept focusing on your argument and not on ours.

ChallengerNo.3：I think it's a very good strategy,if you give us too much time to ask you question,you're getting in trouble.

/

考官2：我觉得你非常棒，你在阐述自己观点时表达的相当简洁，在开场时你提出了很多主要观点，并且一直都紧扣主题。另外，你有那种类似于，阻止我们向你提出过多问题的能力，这是一个很有趣也很明智的选择，这实际上对你是非常有帮助的，可以让大家专注于你的观点而不是我们的。

考官3：我觉得这是一个非常机智的策略，如果你给我们太多机会向你提问，那你肯定会陷入麻烦。

Zou Yun：Thank you.

Liu Xin：Let's see what the judgers think of your performance.

Ji Xiaojun：Not bad.

Liu Xin：the highest and the lowest taking out.Zou Yun has a final 95.929.Congratulations！

Zou Yun：Thank you so much.

/

邹韵：谢谢。

刘欣：我们来看评委对你的打分如何。

季小军：很不错。

刘欣：去掉一个最高分，去掉一个最低分。邹韵最终得分95.929分。祝贺你！

邹韵：非常感谢。

以上，供参考。
