Verona D BELJLNG — Eating at a Beijing restaurant is usually an adventure for foreigners, and particularly when they get the chance to order “chicken without sex life” or “red burned lion head”. Sometimes excited but mostly confused, embarrassed or even terrified, many foreigners have long plained about mistranslations of Chinese dishes. And their plaints are often valid, but such an experience at Beijing’s restaurants will apparently soon be history. Foreign visitors will no longer, hopefully, be confused by oddly worded restaurant menus in the capital if the government’s plan to correctly translate 3,000 Chinese dishes is a success and the translations are generally adopted. The municipal（ 市政 ） office of foreign affairs has published a book to remend English translations of Chinese dishes, which aims to help restaurants avoid bizarre translations. “It provides the names of main dishes of famous Chinese cuisines in plain English,” an official with the city’s Foreign Affairs office said, “Restaurants are encouraged to use the proposed translations, but it will not be pulsory.” It’s the city’s latest effort to bridge the culture gap for foreign travelers in China. “The book is a blessing to tourist guides like me. Having it, I don’t have to rack my brains trying to explain Chinese dishes to foreign travelers,” said Zheng Xiaodong, a 31yearold employee with a Beijingbased travel agency. “I will buy the book as I major in English literature and I’d like to introduce Chinese cuisine culture to more foreign friends,” said Han Yang, a postgraduate student at the University of International Business and Economics. It is not clear if the book will be introduced to other parts of China. But on Tuesday, this was the most discussed topic on , China’s most popular microblogging site. 32.

What helps them to make success? To find out the answers, an American scholar recently visited some of the most successful people in America. 36 Be responsible for yourself Sometimes you may want to blame others for your failure to get ahead. 37 You’re saying, “You have more control over my life than I do.” Live life “on purpose” Almost all successful people live life “on purpose”— they are doing what they believe they should and want to do. When you live your life on purpose, you’ll try your best to do your job or study as well as you can. You love what you do and you can find pleasure in what you do. Write a plan It is very difficult trying to get what you want without a good plan. 38 A good plan is like a map to you. Without this “map”, you may waste your time, money and also your energy。 while with the “map” you’ll enjoy the “trip” and get what you want in the shortest possible time. Be willing to pay the price Nothing great is easy to get. So you must be ready to work hard — even harder than you have ever done. If you are not willing to pay the price, you won’t get anything valuable. Never give up 39 But it is easier said than done. When you are doing something, you must tell yours。
