That's a great idea -- should be much easier to review the dialogues as many times as needed.
Probably makes for safer driving too. :)

Well, it's not really an "accent" thing here.
Kaufman just got some noticeable lilt, I think.

I don't know how to describe his "lilt". Hmm... Maybe it's a bit like the American English &

Discovery astronauts complete second spacewalk

www.chinanews.cn 2005-08-02 10:14:26

(Agencies)

HOUSTON, United States, Aug. 2 - Two Discovery shuttle astronauts
successfully completed their second spacewalk in which they replaced one
of the four gyroscopes on the International Space Station.
Japanese astronaut Soichi Noguchi and American crewmate Stephen Robinson
returned to the shuttle on Monday after spending seven hours and 14
minutes in space, 350 kilometers (220 miles) above Earth.
It was the second spacewalk the pair have carried out during the mission,
which has been marred by controversy over the safety of the American
shuttles.
The main purpose on Monday's walk was to replace one of four gyroscopes
which help steer the space station and keep it in its pre-determined
orbit. NASA said it had been a complete success.

City taken on July 28, 2005. Xu Yousheng, a resident of the city, has
been engaged in watermelon selling for more than twenty years. As a
calligraphy and painting enthusiast, Xu originally carves his watermelons
with calligraphy, facial make-up and landscape paintings and sells them
out later. These watermelons with paintings are particularly popular
among customers, attracting them to buy one after another, selling like
hot cakes.

NASA to suspend future space shuttle flights

www.chinanews.cn 2005-07-28 09:52:00

( Source: Xinhuanet)

WASHINGTON, July 27 - NASA said Wednesday evening that it would suspend
future space shuttle flights because foam debris that brought down
Columbia is still an unsolved problem.
NASA made the decision after a large piece of foam insulation broke off
from the shuttle Discovery's fuel tank during Tuesday's lift off.
Although the foam did not hit the space shuttle, it did highlight a huge
problem that NASA thought had been fixed after the Columbia disaster.
"We won't be able to fly again" until the problem is solved, said shuttle
program manager Bill Parsons at a briefing in Houstonspace center.

that everything will go perfectly on the day of rehearsal.

PetroChina set a record in crude oil output

www.chinanews.cn 2005-07-19 13:29:24

Chinanews, Beijing, July 18 (By Jia Quanxin) - Taking advantage of the
rising international oil prices and vigorous demand in the domestic
market, PetroChina boosted production and recorded a new high of 396
million barrels of crude output in the first half.
This year the Company boosted investment in oil and gas exploration,
making breakthroughs in exploring the Jidong shallow water area of Bohai
Bay Basin. It also made significant progress in exploring the
Jiyuan-Xifeng Area of Ordos Basin, the Daqing Xujiaweizi Area of Songliao
Basin, central Sichuan, and central Tarim Basin. These achievements
helped the Company lay a solid foundation for securing sustainable and
steady growth in oil and gas output.
By optimizing resource allocation and production management, the Company
achieved steady growth in oil refining in the first half of this year.
The Company processed 378.9 million barrels of crude oil, increasing 7.4%
year on year. It produced 10.72 million tons of gasoline and 21.646
million tons of diesel oil, up 2.3% and 11.9% respectively from the same
period last year.
The Company further strengthened its marketing efforts in the first half
of 2005, with sales network for its refined products expanding to key
regional markets and major metropolitans. Its service stations reached
17,215, an increase of 3.2% from a year ago.

Large-scale expedition across Qinghai-Tibet Plateau

www.chinanews.cn 2005-07-14 15:24:18

The undated photo shows Tibetan antelopes run on the mountain covered
with snow in Hoh Xil uninhabited region in central Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
The first ever large-scale scientific expedition across Hoh Xil
uninhabited region in central Qinghai-Tibet Plateau will kick off in
Sept. this year and will last three years. Alpine coldness, lack of
oxygen, and hostile natural conditions make Hoh Xil China's largest and
the world's third largest uninhabited region. It is also China's last
untouched natural land which still maintains its original state. It is
therefore cited as a "forbidden zone for man."

EU's investigation on Chinese shoes opposed

www.chinanews.cn 2005-07-12 09:13:02

(Source: Xinhuanet)

BEIJING, July 11 - China on Monday opposed EU's anti-dumping
investigation on Chinese shoes, saying "It lacks a legal basis and
factual proof."
The EU's investigation is expected to involve more than 1,200 Chinese
enterprises with 670 million US dollars in value, according to the
website of the Ministry of Commerce (MOC).
MOC spokesman Chong Quan said the Chinese government attaches great
importance to the case. Shoes are one of China's major export items. The
shoe-making industry concerns a large portion of its workforce.
The EU's investigation is not helpful to the long-term and steady Sino-EU
economic and trade development. China hopes the EU would "properly"
handle the case, Chong said.
The European Union (EU) decided respectively on June 30 and July 7 to
conduct anti-dumping investigations on China-made safety shoes and
footwear with leather tops.

China's economy starts modest adjustment

www.chinanews.cn 2005-07-06 11:07:37

Chinanews, July 5 - According to the magazine Outlook Weekly, Chen
Dongqi, deputy president of the Macroeconomics Research Institute under
the National Development and Reform Commission, pointed out that after
three years of growth, China's economic growth is entering a new era of
modest adjustment. The new era is characterized by modest decrease of
economic growth.
Chen said that "modest adjustment" refers to moderate decline of economic
growth, probably dropping by two percentage points over last year's 9.5%
to the range between 7% and 9.5%. Provided the decrease is too sharp, say
falling to below 7% or even encountering a hard landing (which means
dropping by half to below 5%), China will face more pressure in terms of
unemployment and deflation and its national economy will also be plunged
into the marsh of chronic downturn and miss the opportunity for
development during the prime time.
Chen indicated that during the era of modest adjustment, macro control
should be focused on the following five aspects:
First, timely cope with latest change of economic situation based on the
idea of taking precautions beforehand. Second, make rational adjustment
to leading indicator and appropriately relax currency credit. Third,
actively promote balanced increase of three major types of demand.
Fourth, make effort to accelerate growth of "short barrel industry."
Fifth, create a macro environment beneficial to efficiency growth for
enterprises.
Chen added that the Chinese government's next round of macro control
policy and measures of system reform has to regard acceleration of
developing modern service industry as a strategy and enhance to open the
market of modern service industry to the privately-owned enterprises.
China will have to establish service industry market of multi-competition
to accelerate modern service industry which will serve as the basis to
maintain the growth of national economy.

Captive giant panda to return to the wild

Boao, small fishing town in the process of amazing changes

www.chinanews.cn 2006-04-24 18:00:14

Chinanews, Apr. 24 �C The 2006 Boao Forum for Asia was opened in Boao
last Friday. Once a small fishing town, Boao is undergoing tremendous
changes, becoming a window to the outside world since China adopted the
open-up policy.
Back in the 1990s, Boao, situated at the mouth of the Wanquanhe River,
was still a small, tranquil town where 15,000 fishermen lived a
self-supporting life.
In 2000, however, the whole world began to focuse attention on this
86-square-kilometer town, China��s southen Hainan Province, when it
hosted the first Boao Forum for Asia. Its name was quickly spread
throughout the world, and hosting the forum has drastically changed local
people��s lives.
��Boao used to be a small fishing port, where tourists came to experience
fishermen��s life; however, it now has become a conference venue that
attracts elites from around the world,�� said 77-year-old Xu Zhenhuan, a
retired lighthouse tender. Having lived here for nearly half a century,
Xu told reporters that in the past, the beacon was the only modern device
seen in the town, whereas now latest high-tech devices had filled every
corner of the town, changing the town into a ��digital�� village. Xu
retired in 1996 when his son Xu Dafu took over his post, working at the
lighthouse every day, navigating the ships passing by and witnessing the
changes of the town.
Wang Huiya, secretary of the Boao village committee of the Communist
Party of China, said the Boao Forum for Asia had boosted the conference
economy here. Since 2000, about 400 domestic and international
conferences have been held in Boao, making the place widely-known. After
Boao was chosen as the venue for the Forum, it has attracted investors to
make investment here on 20 projects, worth well over 300 million yuan.
The Forum venue covers over 10,000 mu in area, and many villagers have
come to the town center to work in the service sector. Some other
villagers have gone to other provinces to find jobs. Local people��s life
style has greatly changed. Within six years, more than 30 family inns and
restaurants have sprung up with a booming business. Before 2000, the town
used to have a population of 15,000, while now about 30,000 people live
here. Tourists and businessmen come here all year round, and the small
town is expected to receive 5,000 tourists every day on average.
Although people in Boao live a far better life than before, they are
still as friendly as they used to be. Although Boao is a small town,
local people wish that everybody would enjoy their visit here, said a
native who works in one of the conference halls.

Chinanews, Apr.19 - The Beijing Organizing Committee for the Games of the
XXIX Olympiad (BOCOG) Executive Vice-President Jiang Xiaoyu briefed the
media on the torch relay on the 18th.
He said that preparations for the torch relay of the Beijing Olympics
officially started in May 2005. This February, the International Olympic
Committee confirmed the torch relay plan of the Beijing Olympics on its
executive board meeting held during the Torino 2006 Winter Olympic Games.
According to this plan, the torch fire of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games
will be fetched from the Ancient Olympia in March 2008 and then go
through 28 cities of the five continents and all provinces, autonomous
regions and municipalities in China, and be carried up to Mount Everest,
the tallest peak in the world. This will be the first time that the
Olympic torch reaches this peak. The torch relay will last over 140 days,
with 15,000 torch bearers participating in the event. The main torch will
be lighted at the main venue of the Beijing Olympic opening ceremony on
August 8, 2008.
At present, BOCOG is deliberating on and planning the torch relay routes
and cities. The committee has jointly set up a special team with related
departments and plans to carry out an expedition to Mount Everest this
May.
