A 陳磊,這節是什麼課?

Chén Lěi, zhè jié shì shénme kè?

Chen Lei, what class is this?

B 不會吧?你連這個都忘了!政治課。

bù huì ba? nǐ lián zhège dōu wàng le! zhèngzhì kè.

What the heck? You can't even remember that! It's politics.

C 今天我們說說中國的經濟特區。先問問大家,什麼是經濟特區?

jīntiān wǒmen shuō shuo Zhōngguó de jīngjì tèqū. xiān wèn wen dàjiā, shénme shì jīngjì tèqū?

Today we are going to talk about China's special economic zones. First let me ask everyone, what is a special economic zone?

D 是國家為了發展經濟和吸引外資而設立的特別區域,給它們各種優惠政策。

shì guójiā wèile fāzhǎn jīngjì hé xīyǐn wàizī ér shèlì de tèbié qūyù, gěi tāmen gèzhǒng yōuhuì zhèngcè.

In order for the nation to economically develop and attract foreign investment, they established special regions with favorable policies.

A 又是徐曉婷。

yòu shì Xú Xiǎotíng.

Xu Xiaoting again...

C 說得很好。這個概念是我們國家的一位偉人提出來的,同學們想想他是誰?

shuō de hěn hǎo. zhège gàiniàn shì wǒmen guójiā de yī wèi wěirén tí chūlái de, tóngxué men xiǎng xiang tā shì shéi?

Well said. This was a concept that one of our great countrymen came up with. Class, who do you think it was?

A 小平同志!

Xiǎo Píng tóngzhì!

Comrade Deng Xiaoping!

C 對了,林峰,是鄧小平。他想改革中國封閉、落後的經濟,又碰上香港商人要求來廣東投資。所以他就決定在深圳設立經濟特區。

duì le, Lín Fēng, shì Dèng Xiǎopíng. tā xiǎng gǎigé Zhōngguó fēngbì, luòhòu de jīngjì, yòu pèngshàng Xiānggǎng shāngrén yāoqiú lái Guǎngdōng tóuzī. suǒyǐ tā jiù juédìng zài Shēnzhèn shèlì jīngjì tèqū.

Yes, Lin Feng, it was Deng Xiaoping. He wished to reform China's closed and backward economy. He encountered a Hong Kong business man who inquired about investing in Guangdong. So, he then decided to establish a special economic zone in Shenzhen.

A 現在我們吃得飽穿得暖,都要感謝小平同志。

xiànzài wǒmen chī de bǎo chuān de nuǎn, dōu yào gǎnxiè Xiǎo Píng tóngzhì.

Right now we can eat well, and dress warmly. All thanks to Comrade Deng Xiaoping.

B 是啊,沒有他,我們現在還生活在水深火熱之中呢。

shì a, méiyǒu tā, wǒmen xiànzài hái shēnghuó zài shuǐshēnhuǒrè zhīzhōng ne.

That's right. If it weren't for him, right now our lives would be a lot worse off.

C 你們倆別說話了。大家知道中國有幾個經濟特區嗎?

nǐmen liǎ bié shuōhuà le. dàjiā zhīdào Zhōngguó yǒu jǐ ge jīngjì tèqū ma?

The two of you, stop talking. Does anybody know how many special economic regions there are in China?

D 五個,除了深圳以外,還有珠海、廈門、汕頭和海南。

wǔ ge, chúle Shēnzhèn yǐwài, hái yǒu Zhūhǎi, Xiàmén, Shàntóu hé Hǎinán.

There are five. Besides Shenzhen, there is Zhuhai, Xiamen, Shantou, and Hainan.

A 怎麼都在南方?國家真偏心。

zěnme dōu zài nánfāng? guójiā zhēn piānxīn.

How come they are all in the south? The country is really biased.

B 噓,待會兒又要罰站了。

shī, dāi huìr yòu yào fázhàn le.

Shhh, do you want to have to stand in the corner?

A 那麼緊張幹嗎?今天說經濟特區和改革開放,你也開放一點嘛。

nàme jǐnzhāng gànmá? jīntiān shuō jīngjì tèqū hé gǎigé kāifàng, nǐ yě kāifàng yīdiǎn ma.

What are you so worked up about? We are talking about special economic zones changing and opening up. You should open up a little.

C 林峰,認真聽講!這些都是要考的。

Lín Fēng, rènzhēn tīngjiǎng! zhèxiē dōu shì yào kǎo de.

Lin Feng, take this lecture more seriously! This is all going to be on the test.

B 老師,上海經濟那麼好,是不是特區啊?

lǎoshī, Shànghǎi jīngjì nàme hǎo, shì bu shì tèqū a?

Teacher, the economy in Shanghai is booming, isn't it a special zone?

C 陳磊問得好。上海不是特區,屬於沿海開放城市。但它同樣有很多優惠政策。

Chén Lěi wèn de hǎo. Shànghǎi bù shì tèqū, shǔyú yánhǎi kāifàng chéngshì. dàn tā tóngyàng yǒu hěn duō yōuhuì zhèngcè.

Chen Lei asks a good question. Shanghai is not a special economic zone. It belongs the one of the coastal open market cities that have many preferential policies.

A 好複雜,一會兒是特區,一會兒是開放城市。

hǎo fùzá, yīhuìr shì tèqū, yīhuìr shì kāifàng chéngshì.

So complicated--you have special zones, then you have open market cities.

C 其實大家只要記住國家為什麼要設立這些特區就行了。

qíshí dàjiā zhǐyào jìzhu guójiā wèishénme yào shèlì zhèxiē tèqū jiù xíng le.

Actually, everyone only needs to remember why China established these special zones.

A 太好了,終於可以少記一點東西了。

tài hǎo le, zhōngyú kěyǐ shǎo jì yīdiǎn dōngxi le.

Great. Finally there are less things to remember.
