《世界经典演说》以历史发展和人类进步为主线，选择各主要英语国家的优秀演说共120篇，分为政治卷、军事卷、外交卷、论辩卷、科教卷、礼仪卷、巾帼卷和颂词卷共8卷。无信纸从英语还是汉语的角度，这些演说都宛如行云流水，充满了激情、哲理、智慧和内在的韵律美。它们是时代的音符，历史的足迹，艺术的绝唱和文化的结晶。经过岁月的不断洗炼，它们已成为历久常新的经典之作，是全人类共同的财富。本书按时间顺序选译了近150年来各界名流在各种场合发表的颂文、悼文共15篇。本卷在整套丛书中占有特殊的地位，具有较高的审美价值。由于是“名人颂（悼）名人”的缘故，加上演说者大多对歌颂（悼念）的对象有着较深的了解，所以，演说者对谋篇布局特别用心，遣词造句特别考究，感情流露也特别真挚。在演说的字里行间，洋溢着对真善美的追求，或者不妨说，这些演说本身就是一部真善美交响曲。尽管个别章节不免有溢美之嫌，抑或有失实之处，但这并不妨碍我们去阅读和欣赏，并且通过分析而得了自己客观的评价。本书在选材上偏重于近现代，偏重于美国和英国，兼顾其他英语国家，至于少量非英语国家的演说，则是根据英语版译出的。

本书针对英语语法学习中的重点难点，系统而详尽地描述了常见的语法现象，并配有大量的练习和答案。

《外国领导人看中国》是英汉对照外国人看中国丛书中的一本。新中国成立50年来，中国的外交事业有了长足发展，中外国家和政府领导人之间的互访日益频繁。在国内外的讲坛上，世界各国的领导人发表了许多关于中国的精彩演说。由于广大英语爱好者很少有机会亲耳聆听这些讲话，我们特选编了《外国领导人看中国》这本书，以飨读者。本书选收了20世纪70年代初至90年代末英语国家和政府领导人来华访问时或访华前后发表的讲话28篇。这些讲话反映了有关国家对中国的认识、对中国的外交政策和对某些国际问题的原则立场。这些讲话语言生动，逻辑严谨，极富感染力，充分体现了政治家们出色的演讲才能和个性特色。对广大的英语学习者来说，阅读这些外交讲话的佳作，对研究国际关系、了解外国人眼中的中国、学习外交语言的提高英语水平都大有裨益。为方便读者阅读学习。本书以英汉对照的形式编排。本书在选录时主要着眼于作品的文字特色和代表性，并不表明编译者赞同其内容和观点。例如对人权问题，我们有自己的立场和看法。

Welcome to Chicken Soup for the Singles Soul/　For the first time in history，there are more single people than married people in our society. If you are reading this book，it is likely that you have never been married ，or have become divorced or widowed.This is a book that shares the love，the challenges and the unique joys of being single.Whether you are single by choice or by circumstance ，these stories will show you that you are not alone.When we started this book，our intention was to compile a collection of stories that would address the many types of single people　from the twenty year-old never married man or woman，to the fifty-year old divorcee，to the eighty-year old widower. And we discovered that the opportunities and challenges facing this diverse group of people are numerousand often inspiring.For example， we included stories about being Single and Happy　an unprecedented trend in our country. For the firsttime，many people are choosing to remain single for a lifetime -.-something that was almost inconceivable even twenty years ago.On the other hand， its impossible to talk about being single without addressing the desires that so many single people have regarding relationships. Many single people want to have a relationship ，and thats why we have included chapters on Dating and Finding Your Mate.Still others are in the process of letting go of a relation ship orgrieving the loss of a love.The stories in Single A gain deal with rebuilding life after divorce. The stories in Losing a Partner share experiences of healing after the death of a partner.Then there are single parents！ Thirty three percent of all families in the United States are now headed by a single parent. We hope the stories in Single Parenting will touch the hearts of single mothers and fathers everywhere and eneour age them on their journey.One of the most rewarding aspects of working on this book has been discovering the strength and commitment many single people have to making their own lives fulfilling and enriching the lives of others. You will find their stories in our chapter on Making a Difference.We have also included stories about the incredible support available in many ways for single people. In our chapter We Are Not Alone，we see the support that often appears when least expected or in miraculous ways. In the chapter called Friends and Family， we see the power of the support that comes from the deep bonds of family and important friend ships.Finally，theres love. Love is the most powerful force in the universe. While we often think of love in terms of a mar riage or intimate relationship，its very clear that love comes in many forms. And in a world where 50 percent of the population is now single， we recognize that love is not just for those in relationships. In fact，it is the common thread that binds the many different kinds of stories in Chicken Soup for the Singles Soul.So in the spirit of love，we offer this book to single people everywhere. No matter what your circumstance in life as a sing e person，we hope these stor es open your heart and give you a vision of lifes possibilities. May your path be filled with joy and the magical touch of love　wherever you find it.
