1.There is absolutely no reason for us to believe that a brighter future for the world is an impossibility.

2.Meteorologists offer computer models leaving little doubt that this year’s El Nino phenomenon has disappeared.
氣象學家提供計算機模型，充分證明今年的厄爾尼諾現象已經消失了。
3.Facts prove the unjustifiability of claims that China will be unable to feed itself by the year 2020.
事實證明：斷言中國到2020年將不可能養活自己是不合道理的。
4.Previous explanations of the rising divorce rate in China are simply untenable. The fact is that many marriages were simply based on convenience and wives are no longer willing to accept the abusive domineering attitudes of husbands.
以前對中國離婚率升高的解釋是完全站不住腳的。事實是許多婚姻僅僅建立在便利的基礎上，而且妻子不再愿意接受丈夫作威作福的態度。
5.Claim that entering the Chinese market offers foreign companies an immediate road to profits are grossly misstated and have been proven wrong time and again. The key to entering China rests with the phraseology vast potential market, and how long one is willing to wait for returns.

8.Belief in the wonders of modern medical science is quite understandable. It is also quite possible that our faith in the ability of scientists to find the key for prolonging life are well-founded. Yet, the wisdom of prolonging life remains in question when considering the already massive global population and projected future growth.
相信現代醫學的奇跡是可以理解的。很有可能我們相信科學家能夠找到延長生命的關鍵也是有根據的。但是，考慮到已經非常龐大的世界人口和預計的未來的增長，延長生命是否明智仍有疑問。
9.It is one thing to support euthanasia, but quite another to offer any justification for genocide.
