前言

I first visited China in the summer of 1988, less than a decade afterDeng Xiaoping's economic reforms and policy of openness had launchedthe beginnings of what would become a Chinese industrial revolution.Near the end of a two-month long summer trip from Beijing to Chongqing,Nanjing and Hangzhou, I arrived in crowded, steaming Shanghai, wherea palpable energy could be felt among the optimistic, industrious andentrepreneurial citizens, and stayed at the brand-new Shanghai Hiltonhotel. Three years later I returned to China to translate for Canadian busi-ness management faculty who were becoming popular lecturers in packeduniversity halls at Chinese schools of economics. We were invited by theVice Mayor of Shanghai to visit the site of a new city under construction4across the Huangpu River opposite the Bund. We were driven across thenewly erected Nanpu Bridge to the largest building site I had ever seen inmy life. The Director of the Management Committee of Shanghai PudongNew Area proudly showed us a model of towers and wide avenues thatseemed like something taken from the cover of a science-fiction novel.Work was to be completed in ten years, he declared. I don't think anyonein our group believed it was possible.

章节摘录

When we talk to'people from other countries, we frequently use metaphors that arefamiliar to the Chinese people, yet our overseas friends might not fully understand whatwe are talking about. In the early 1990s, we often said, "Pudong will serve as the dragonhead of development in the Yangtze River area," when introducing the Pudong NewArea to overseas visitors.The dragon is a legendary animal from our ancient myths. In Chinese, "dragon'shead" refers to things that play a leading role. Yet foreigners know little of Chinesedragons, let alone the implications of a "dragon's head." Does it mean the drivingforce, the brain, or the pioneer？ Therefore, we now commonly use the word "en-gine" （or "locomotive", "cutting edge"） to describe Pudong's role in leading itssurrounding area or even the nation as a whole toward rapid economic growth.We sometimes also describe the role of Pudong in the following way, "In the courseof development, China interacts with other countries. In political exchange, nationalcapitals must play the leading role. In economic exchange, the responsibility falls tomajor economic centers. While China does not yet have an international powerhouselike New York, London, Paris, Frankfurt or Tokyo, yet at present, among other cities inChina, Shanghai is most likely to become that powerhouse. Therefore, the Pudong areais crucial to achieving our goal of accelerating growth in Shanghai. Pudong covers an area similar to Singapore's, and is similar in economic significance. We should givePudong the capabilities to fulfill the functions of an advanced modem city."We might also say: "Pudong is ready to take off, we're still waiting on the runway; are you on board yet？" These all explain the importance of growth in the Pudong New Area, and the opportunities which will open to investors around the world.

•   原本是为写论文买的，而且还花了大价钱，但后来发现对自己并没有太大的帮助，有点浪费，但就书而言应该还是不错的！
