Part 1 English to Chinese Interpreting

Passage 1

The torrent of innovation and entrepreneurship sweeping China has become a new

engine fueling China's economic growth, and in this process capital has played

an indispensable role. Some people ask me about which areas will create new

leaders, and therefore, should investors pay the most attention to attact more

investors?What kinds of business start-ups am I most interested in? There are

indeed industrial leaders in almost every visible segment. But when it comes to

the new economy, newcomers always stand a chance of defeating those first

arrivals. From my point of view, opportunities exist in the following three

areas.

First, there are plenty of opportunities in a niche market. For instance,

JD.com is a leading general e-commerce website, and there are many other e-

commerce platforms focused on selling one particular type of product such as

cosmetics or baby products. Second, opportunities exist along the industrial

chain of e-commerce. Taking Amazon for example, it's a business-to-customer

(B2C) website where third-party sellers are invited to open stores. They can

take part in logistics. Customs, storage, logistics and other industrial chain

of commerce.

Third, with the advent of the mobile Internet era, new location-based and

social-based opportunities will pop up. For example, taxi-hailing apps Uber,

Didi Dache and Kuaidi Dache are areas that Internet giants once overlooked or

failed to cover. Investment opportunities on TMT (telecommunication, media and

technology) area will exist in at least the above-mentioned three areas. New

areas such as big data and cloud computing will churn out plenty of

opportunities as well. These are all investment directions for us, with

unlimited room for development.

Personally, I favor three types of business start-ups—those with a hi-tech

barrier, those with an innovative business model and those with established

skills in a certain segment. The first and third types are easy to understand,

but the second one could be a little tricky. Basically, a company has to create

a completely new model to enter a potentially huge market. I would be really

interested in this kind of business start-ups.

People asked me when a revenue model is absent at the early stage, how can you

tell whether a company is worth investing in? A sound and good revenue model is

an essential issue in the investment world, however, we have found a paradox in

both Chinese and U.S. markets. Many Internet giants either didn't have one

clear revenue model at the early stage, or they had one but changed to a

different model as it grew. We should never rule out a project arbitrarily when

its revenue model is absent or unclear.

This is a must-have quality in the investment world. As a matter of fact, the

team matters a lot at the early stage. I believe an excellent team has a strong

ability to cash in what it has to offer. Whether we should invest in a company

when it doesn't have a clear revenue model is the difficult part for a venture

capitalist, but is also the most attractive part in this job. That's what sorts

outstanding professional venture capitalists from lame ones.

Some people think there are bubbles in the technology industry in China, and

that the bubbles may soon burst. Personally, I think technological innovation

will continue and bubbles in this area are quite obvious. It's obvious in that

the valuation of some tech firms is way too high. Meanwhile, whenever a new

concept appears within a sector, it will become very crowded, intensifying

competition or even resulting in cutthroat competition.

Finally, both investors and entrepreneurs have as a result become more anxious,

especially during 2014. The market, according to my observation, has restored

some of its rationality since 2015. Overheating does exist in the venture

capital market. It's mostly because there's too much hot money available in the

market, but not so many investment channels.

Passage 2

We have come together to lend our voices to the growing global effort to combat

the illegal wildlife trade - a trade that has reached such unprecedented levels

of killing and related violence that it now poses a grave threat not only to

the survival of some of the world's most treasured species, but also to

economic and political stability in many areas around the world.

Organized bands of criminals are stealing and slaughtering elephants, rhinos

and tigers, as well as large numbers of other species, in a way that has never

been seen before, pushing many species to the brink of extinction. They are

taking these animals using the sophisticated weapons of war - assault rifles,

silencers, night vision equipment and helicopters. Unarmed park rangers are no

match for these organized gangs and high-powered equipment. Tragically, many

brave rangers have lost their lives while trying to save those of the animals.

It is shocking that future generations may know a world without these
