17 The Province of Alberta 阿尔伯达省
1. Alberta is located in the western part of Canada and is the westernmost among the Prairie<大草原，牧场> Provinces. To its west is British Columbia while to its east is Saskatchewan. Its south borders on the U.S. state of Montana while its north borders on the Northwest Territories<地区，区域>. Alberta is a most popular place for people to go to on their vacations because of its beautiful scenery. The Canadian Rockies running through<纵贯> it have earned<赢得> for it the proud name of "Fifty Switzerland in One."
1、阿尔伯达省位于加拿大的西部，也是草原诸省中最西部的一个省份。它的西边是不列颠哥伦比亚省，东部是萨斯喀彻温省，它的南部与美国的蒙大拿州接壤，而北部则与西北地区相连。由于阿尔伯达省风景优美，人们都很喜欢去那里度假。纵贯全境的加拿大落基山脉为它赢得了“集50个瑞士于一省”的美名。
2. With an area of approximately<大约> 255,212 square miles, equivalent<相当于> to 661,000 square kilometers, it is the fourth largest province in Canada. Although it has a population of only
3.26 million, about one fifth of the population of Shanghai, it ranks<等级，排位>also 4th in population among Canadian provinces. The province was named after<以…命名> Princess Louis Caroline Alberta, a daughter of Queen Victoria of England. It became a province of Canada in 1905.
2、该省面积约为255212平方英里，相当于661000平方公里，是加拿大第四大省。虽然它的人口只有326万，仅及上海人口的约五分之一，但在加拿大诸省中它的人口
数也居第四位。阿尔伯达省是以英国维多利亚女皇的一个女儿路易斯·卡洛琳·阿尔伯达公主的名字命名的。它于1905年成为加拿大的一个省。
3. The people of Alberta originally<最初> came from many different countries. More than half of the Albertans came from Britain. Others came from Austria, Russia and the Scandinavian countries. As only a small number were French Canadians, who migrated to Alberta from the eastern part of Canada, the major language spoken in the province is English, with the exception of<除了> a few bilingual<双语种> towns north of Edmonton. Although there are only a limited number of Indians living on reservations<保留地> now, two hundred years ago they were the only inhabitants<居民>in what is now called Alberta.
3、阿尔伯达省的人民最初来自很多不同的国家。其中一半以上来自英国，另一些人来自奥地利、俄罗斯和斯堪地那维亚国家。由于只有少数从加拿大东部迁来的法裔加拿大人，因此除了在埃德蒙顿北部有几个双语种小镇之外，该省所使用的主要语言是英语。现在，虽然只有人数有限的印第安人居住在保留地上，但是在两百多年前，他们是居住于现在称之为阿尔伯达省的唯一居民。
4. The first settlers<移民> of Alberta were cattle ranchers<牧场经营者>. Even now, raising cattle<畜牧> is still one of the leading branches<部分>of economy. But at present many more Albertans are farmers, who raise<提升，养育>millions of tons of wheat, oats<燕麦> and barley<大麦>, they also plant sugar beets<甜菜> and potatoes in the southern part of the province. In the northern part, like the Indians who lived there before them, the hunters trap<捕捉>such
fur-bearing animals<毛皮兽>as squirrels<松鼠>,beavers<河狸>and foxes. Alberta is also rich in forest resources, coal and oil. It is one of the main timber<木材>producing provinces in Canada. Owing to<由于，因为> its rich deposit in oil, petroleum industry has become one of the most important industries of the province, with many oil fields and refineries<精炼厂>. Alberta also produces more coal than any other province.
4、阿尔伯达省的首批移民是牧场经营者。即使时至今日，畜牧业仍然是经济的主要部门之一。但现在阿尔伯达人中更多的是农民，他们生产成百万吨的小麦、燕麦和大麦。在该省的南部他们还种植甜菜和土豆。在北部，猎人们像生活在他们之前的印第安人一样捕捉毛皮兽，诸如松鼠、河狸和狐狸等。阿尔伯达还有丰富的森林资源、煤矿和石油。它是加拿大木材的主要生产省份之一。由于该省石油蕴藏量丰富，石油工业已成为该省最重要的工业之一，油田和炼油厂比比皆是。阿尔伯达出产的煤也多于其他任何省份。
5. The provincial capital Edmonton, with a population of about 1,016,000, is the second largest city in the province. The largest city is Calgary. In 1967, it had a population of about 330,000. But after a lapse<下降，流逝>of40 years, it now has more than 1,060,000 inhabitants. The third largest city is Lethbridge, having a population of about 67,000 persons. People in those cities work in meat-packing plants<肉类加工厂>, flour mills<面粉厂>, dairies<乳制品厂> and refineries. Some work in canneries and beet-sugar factories.
5、省会埃德蒙顿人口约为101.6万，是该省第二大城市。第一大城市是卡尔加里，1967年的人口是33万，但时隔40年之后，它的居民总数已超过106万。第三大城市是莱斯
桥，约有人口6.7万。这些城市的居民大多在肉类加工厂、面粉厂、乳制品厂和炼油厂工作。有的则在罐头食品厂和甜菜制糖厂工作。
6. The climate in Alberta is pleasant, particularly in summer, when the average temperature is about 60 degrees Fahrenheit<华氏>. In winter, it is much colder and in the north, the temperature can drop to 20 degrees below zero. Although the best season for traveling is the summer months of June, July and August, many tourists are attracted to the first rate skiing ground at the resorts<旅游胜地> of Banff and Jasper.
6、阿尔伯达气候宜人，特别是夏天，平均气温为华氏60度左右
((60-32)/1.8=15.56℃)。冬天的气候则要冷得多，北部的气温有时可降到零下20度（(-20-32)/1.8=-32.59℃）。虽说旅游的最佳季节是6、7、8月的夏季，但是旅游胜地班夫和嘉思帕的第一流的滑雪场地也吸引了很多游客。
7. Alberta is located in the Mountain Standard Time Zone. 12 o'clock at Noon in Edmonton is 2 p.m. Eastern Standard Time.
7、阿尔伯达位于山地标准时时区。埃德蒙顿中午12点即东部标准时间下午2点。

4 How to Negotiate<谈判> with Americans 如何与美国人谈判 1.美国是一个富有吸引力的市场。它给世界带来的诸如“股东价值”和“首次公开募股”的商业文化近几年来一直引导着商业思想，并且在未来几年内还将保持。但是无论是谁，想要在美国取得成功，都必须记住游戏的规则。 2.美国的商业，在《纽约，纽约》这首歌的歌词中是这样描述的：“如果你能在这里取得成功，你就能在别的任何地方取得成功!” 但是愉快的做生意的方法是绝对不够的。虽然在美国的商业沟通是愉快的和自在的，但是它同时也因为不讲情面而成为焦点。
3.沟通是美国人与生俱来的才能。双方谈判的时候，闲聊和微笑是很重要的。美国人比英国人更幽默也更直接。（that 引导定语从句，可以译为：美国人自由地使用幽默感，这种幽默感比英国人更加直接。）如果你和美国人谈话，要很放松并且要准备很多笑话来吸引听众的注意力。 4.美国人不拘礼节。商业伙伴不会在他们的名片上写他们的毕业院校。会议期间会提供一些用塑料瓶或盒子装的三明治和饮料。你的生意伙伴很可能会在办公室随意地做一些事情或聊他们的家庭。
5.“时间就是金钱”这种态度在美国的生意场上的影响力比其他任何领域都强。在简单的寒暄之后，美国谈判双方很快地切入主题，甚至社会上举办的联欢会都会被利用来讨论生意。 6.美国人做生意很注重实效，他们就是想赢。相比之下，发展与商业伙伴的个人关系（与得到的谈判结果相比）就不是那么重要了。 7.而且美国谈判者想最快地获得结果。金融情况时刻受到关注（或直译为“财务业绩每季上报”），这对在短期内保证收益很重要。因此，许多美国契约在前言里面包含“时间就是生命”这一条款。所以美国人谈判很性急，但这不应该被理解为无礼，而是因为“时间就是金钱”的理念在起作用。
