34、on the roads of the capital that their speed drops increasingly . Even on Ring Roads No.4 and No.5 that are far from the metropolis center car-speed is still limited . (1) Experienced drivers all know a famous road rule ; Better slow moving than standing still . So long as the car is on the move , e

35、ven as slowly as a turtle crawling , it is still possible to estimate the time of arriving at its destination . On the contrary , if it is blocked or stands still , even though there may be a chance to run as fast as flying like a bird , it is still unpredictable when it reaches its destination .越来越

36、多的汽车出现在首都的道路上，他们的速度越来越快。即使在五环路4号、 5号，远离都市中心的车速度仍然是有限的。(1)有经验的司机都知道一条著名的道路 规则；而更慢的移动比站立的更慢。只要汽车在动，甚至在海龟的爬行过程中，它仍 然可以估计到达目的地的时间。相反，如果它被阻止或静止，即使有可能是一个机会 跑得像一只鸟一样快，它仍然是不可预测的，当它到达目的地。This gives me an association of our economic development . It' s quite r(understandable that underdeveloped areas or t

37、rades want to develop their economy or enterprises more rapidly . (2) But economic development has to follow its own rules , just like harvesting crops in the fields or gathering fruit on the trees . There must be flowers blooming in the spring before trees yield fruit in the autumn . You' ll ha

38、vseason of flowers opening and fading and the days of fruit ripening . You cannot depend on your wishful thinking or take things for granted .这给了我一个经济发展协会。经济欠发达地区或行业更迅速发展经济或企业，这 是相当合理的和可以理解的。(2)经济发展必须遵循它自己的规律，就像在田里收割 庄稼或在树上收获果实一样。春天树木在秋天结果子时，必须有盛开的花朵。你要等 待花开的季节，凋谢的日子，成熟的日子。你不能依靠你的一厢情愿或把事情视为理 所当然。In

39、the past there was a good-natured man whose wish was to become rich rapidly by increasing productivity . Instead of planting rice twice a year he changed into three . Thus he was kept busy in the fields more than ever but the harvesting was not as good as he hoped . Why ? As a mathematical saying go

40、es ,“ 3 multiplied by 3 is 9 ,but 2 multipis 10 .”在过去，有一个善良的人的愿望是通过提高生产率来致富快。他改成了三年，而 不是一年两次种植水稻。因此，他在田野里一直忙着，但收获却不如他希望的那么好。 为什么？俗话说：“臻以3是9, 2乘以5是10。”Dr. Sun Yatsen said long ago ,for Allrenterprises is :" the faster they yieldthe smaller the profit is ; the slower the profit comes , the greate

41、r it is .中山先生早就说过，二个企业的规则是：更快的产生利润，利润越小；速度较慢的利润来源，更是这样。”As a matter of fact , the rate of GDP increase in the U.S. for the recent 200 years is about 2% per year minus the population factor . This seems like a small-step progress . But even this small-step progress , as it keeps going all the way , i

42、t succeedsin producing a superpower . Isn 'itt a good example to illustrate the saying “Better slow moving than standing still ?”事实上，美国国内生产总值的增长率在最近的200年是2%左右，每年的人口比例是负的。这似乎是一个小小的进步。但即使是这个小小的进步，因为它不断前进，它成 功地在制造一个超级大国。这是不是一个很好的例子来说明说更好的慢动比静止？”(1)Hand washing is the single most effective thing to

Failing to sufficiently wash hands contributes to nearly 50 per cent of all food borne illness outbreaks , according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention .(1)洗手是减少传染病传播的唯一最有效的方法。美国疾病控制和预防中心称， 未能充分洗手有助于近50的食物传染病的暴发。Experts say it takes
