Section 1

On journey

One place I go often now is South Africa. And I'm not talking about Johannesburg or Cape Town. I stay in a place that is a farm country. Big big open land and big big open skies. The place that I stay is a traditional African hut. Inside is very comfortable, but no electricity. So the challenge there is try to learn how to live without the creature comforts you're used to. Like a computer, like a TV, cell phone. It's really good for me because, especially my lifestyle here can be very spoiled sometimes. Everybody wants to give you the best things, you always have the best things. But, can you live as a basic human being, can you live without all that stuff. I think these kinds of things push me or challenge me to expand my horizons. Because the problem with being in the same place always in the same time is your world becomes smaller but what I do is as soon as I finish working on a movie or when I have time to relax or travel I'll go away in travel and try to go to somewhere new or someplace different and try to experience something I'd never experience in my home. And that's the main reason why I do it, to push my mind and try to challenge myself to see the world in a different way

Section 2

ON ACTING

But really what it is, is to just broaden your horizons and to look at the world in a wider perspective. I think acting gives me the opportunity to explore that much more. But what I really need to do when I'm not acting is to go out in the world and absorb all that information. I keep them in my mind, my library for when I can use them again when I'm acting. I think in my field, in my business, you come across barriers and challenges every day, and to be able to have the peace of mind to calmly look at the whole situation and learn how to make decisions off that is the most important. I think nowadays it's very hard for people to be in the moment. You're always thinking what I got to do next, what happened yesterday, but what's happening in front of you, are you enjoying that moment in front of you, that's the most important thing. And that's what we try to do in acting.

Section 3

ON LIFE

It's not necessary about going to a certain place or arriving at a certain goal in life. The important thing is about what you learn along the way in that journey. And to always keep your mind open about what you see before you get to the destination. Because your destination may not be important, it's about the experiences along the way and how it enriches you as a human being. So whether it's traveling or whether it's your life in general, to always remember to "smell the roses", you know, to appreciate what's happening around you not just focusing on just the end or just the goal. Life will make its turns and you just have to learn to go with the flow and learn how to be ready for that, for every moment that changes in front of you.

第二篇：英语采访稿

1. People often recognize you as an experienced English news reader on TV, do you think your TV image has formed part of your social identity?

Yes, of course. Everyone has his social identity, whether he is literally "within" or "without" the society. Even a hermit who lives in seclusion or a bank robber has his social

identity.--"Non-social" or "anti-social" is his social identity. There's just no way for us to escape. There are some people whose social identities seem to be more "social" than others because they represent public images, and I am supposed to be one of those. For many people, my social identity is the guy who reads something on TV in a language alien to theirs, and they know me by face, but don't know what I'm saying. I'm just joking. But "identity" is indeed an interesting word, it refers to something that identifies with your true self, something that makes you what you are. In this way, it seems, one should only have one identity, the one and only. But that's apparently not the case with us. We often find several, if not many,

identities linked to us that depend upon different situations: when you are with a lot of people, when you are with relatively fewer people, when you are with "that specific person", or, when you are alone, with yourself. So which one is supposed

to be true? Or perhaps they are all true? And this means we all live in schizophrenia---or schizo-personalities---in some sense.

2. To what extent has this professional role set your course of life?

To a great extent. It may be accidental what you choose to be your profession at first, but once you make the choice, you have blocked the way to other choices, and everything is set to go along the track you take. There might be points in my life---and in anyone else's life---when chances were equal for me to become a TV anchorman, a hermit, or a gang member. I don't mean I've ever considered being a gang member. What I'm trying to say is that a person has all the potential, or

hidden energy (benign or malignant), to realize himself, but he has to choose only one way at a time, this or that, and he will live the kind of life that best suits his choice. No viewer's life would be affected if I was not doing this job, but my course of life would certainly not be the same.

3. The TV business has made what you are, and you have also made the TV program what it is. How do you make TV your means of personal fulfillment?

TV really gives me a sense of fulfillment, but it's not personal enough. If we're talking about fulfillment as accomplishment or consequences, as a kind of effort to change something, then TV-making is perhaps on the top of the list. No other

business has ever had such a great influence on people's way of living and thinking than television. As a TV worker, I'm certainly glad to see that my work is producing such tangible results. But, wait, it's not my work, it's our work. TV production is highly social, it involves collective labor rather than

personal creativity. That's why I say it's not personal enough. But there's still some personal side in it: sometimes when I'm on the street or in a restaurant, I would hear people say: "Hey, look! That's the guy who speaks English on TV." At that moment, my little vanity gets satisfied. That's human

weakness, and it's fairly personal.

4. If you prefer some other media of expression, what are they? And why?

It may be one of those more conventional and private means of expression, like writing. When you write, you don't have to think of anything other than what you want to express. You can be wholly faithful to yourself without offending others, and that's an absolute sense of freedom. You can say writing is the

kind of game that allows much space for individual wisdom and creativity, though not so gorgeous and dazzling as the game of television.

5. It seems that you are widely read, what is the book that has influenced your life most and how?

It's really hard to name a specific book that has such a magic power. Truly, reading is like magic to me, but no single bible in this world can do that. It's like preparing a magic potion: you need to mix up all kinds of herbs and minerals and maybe animal bloods to get a powerful liquid that changes life. So, before I'm given the power to know, to love and to think wisely, I still got a lot more to mix and drink.

6. Looking back, how will you describe your trajectory of thinking influenced by the Chinese and Anglo Cultures?

My pre-college reading was largely based on traditional Chinese literature, combined with limited access to Western classics as Greek mythology and Shakespeare and some other familiar names. My college major was English language and Anglo-American culture. That opened a door for me and led me all the way into a deeper space of Western culture. Years of omnivorous reading has made me a cultural internationalist. My thinking is now the result of an interaction between

different cultures and traditions, each of them having its unique charm and wisdom, each of them telling a truth of itself. I don't like to be a disciple of any single tradition or thought, whether it be Chinese or Anglo or Latin or Indian, Buddhism or Christianity or atheism. I have equal faiths in all valuable spiritual sources and I draw from them, 'cause I believe that great minds never conflict, they only echo, and complement each other. And in this way, I'm proud of being a cultural hybrid.

Kimi, a very warm welcome on behalf of everybody in

Holland.

It started in Holland in a way for you Way back when

you were a small boy.

- It started in Finland, but the main things that happened in gokarts was when I was in Holland with Peter de Bruijn. That time really helped me to go forward. It made a big change in my career.

* Do you still like karting? It is fantastic all the young

guys.

- Jeah, it is a perfect thing to get into racing. It is a good learning step. I do it sometimes when I have

time. It is always good fun.

* Peter once told me that one of your hobbies in that

time was?/b>

- Yes sleeping. I like to sleep. I was young so all the

young people need sleep so it is good.

* For there the first thing I remember is I met you somewhere in Jerez. It was still unclear you would get a superlicense because you came from Formula Renault. Have you ever missed racing in F3000 and Formula 3? - Not really I think, of course it is always nice to go quickly to Formula 1. I had a very good time in Formula Renault, but you want to get there, of course it was my dream to go straight to F1. I do not really miss the other years, I am happy to be here in

Formula 1.

* If you look back, you started in the Sauber team. Would you have dared to step into a topteam or was

starting with a middlefield team a good thing to do? - I think so, in the end it was a good thing to start with a smaller team. There were not so many people so it was easier for me. But if you have the chance to get into a topteam you would take it. And hopefully it is enough for the team owner to be able to stay there. But for me it was a good thing to do to go to Sauber and learn the things in Formula 1. It is a family team so it is really professional, but the feeling is different

with a big team.

* Is there really a big difference between the way

they work in Sauber and McLaren?

- When I said it is a familyteam I didn't mean that, like they are very professional. They do know what they are doing, but of course they don't have that much people and not much money to try and make the car quicker. But of course I think the biggest difference is that They are Swiss and McLaren is from England. Of course they have a different way of work but they always try to get the same result. But both

have their good and bad things.

* Kimi, Monza 2005, I think you had a very good test

here. The car has been quick over the whole season but the pressure is still on, eh? You are still able to

fight for the championship.

- Yes but unfortunately we are not in the strangest position to try to win the championship. But at least there is hope. We have a good package so we try to win it. it is not gonna be easy, but we do the best what we can. Hopefully we can have a good race here

and go for the last 4 races.

* You are a young bloke, you are very fast and there at the beginning of the season, also last year, you has some really really bad luck every time. I remember the big shunt in Hockenheim, where you ended up in the barriers, the engine blows. What happens at the

moment in the car?

Are you going like this : vitu vitu vitu? That is Finnish,

eh?

- Bad word.

*Oh, you can swear on Dutch television. I will explain what Vitu is, it means some thing like amn?(said in

Dutch)

- Of course when it happens it is disappointing and

you e angry, but then you have to forget it as quickly as possible because it is only wasting your energy and time. It is something you can't change anymore. You try to learn from the mistakes, make sure it doesn't happen in the next race. As always you get angry when it happens, I usually go cool down for a

while.

* You travel all over the world, you have seen places like Bahrain, Malaysia, china. Is there a track where you can say to people: That is what I love going to! Or

doesn't it really matters?

- I like to go to Spa. It is a very nice track to drive, we only have a one a year chance because you are not allowed to do testing there. The place itself is not so nice to drive, but the circuit is really nice and perfect. But then there are circuits that aren't as challenging, but then there is a nice town as in Australia. It really depends what you want, it is always nice to go to new

places.

* For the new ones, for me Turkey was fantastic. - I was surprised about the city, different, but a very

nice place.

* We have get the suit on the table, but I have something hidden under it: that is this??(it is a magazine with Kimi and Ms in their overalls but their

heads are changed).

- I have seen that earlier today.

* Italians, it starts here.

- When I came in Formula 1 there were already stories about me going to Ferrari. Now they keep telling them again. Every year it is the same. This is the time of the year when people talk who is going where. I have a one contract, and it is here, with McLaren. After that we all see what is gonna happen. * That is a long way to go. De Robertsons are looking

after you in that.

- Yes and I am not worried about it.

Steve has been a driver himself. Does he every now and then talk with you about driving or does it never

happens?

- They trust me with driving, and they do the rest for

me. Without them I wouldn't have been there. It is

always good to have them.

* One more question before we go to that (points to Kimi his suit). If you have to pick a teammate, who would you pick? Just say I would have to have him?next to me, and for a bit of party time every now

and then.

- I think that would be one of my friends from Finland. * Is there another Finnish driver coming up then that

we don'tknow?

- I don't know, hopefully there is a plenty. Heikki is in a good position, but hopefully there are more coming

up.

* We always ask the guest to bring something. This is what you have brought. I am not gonna ask what it is, it is not a steering wheel, it is the overall. Do you have the feeling that this is a life saver? You have to wear it, it is good for the sponsors, do you see this as a

lifesaver?

- Not really, if there is fire it is good to have it, rather then your jeans. I don't think like that. It is normal

for us to wear it at tests and races. It is comfortable it

is very good.

Is this one specially made for you? Because I know

Villeneuve wants XXL.

- They are special made for every driver. If you want it more loose or tight no belt or pockets, they do that for you. You have to feel good, the race is long. It is

important it is the right size.

* I must make a confession to you, I did a bet on the internet that you can still be the campion, do you

agree?

- We try, hopefully it will happen!

* Good lukcy, I think everybody in Holland was very

happy to were here. Vitu Vitu Vitu?

For all Roger fans ,today is a special day,Roger has been world NO.1 for 100 weeks.

To be honest,my favorite sports celebrity used to be david

Beckham,I've been keen on him for more than 6 years.But when the first time I saw Roger play on the court(I mean a live match,not Sports news or something),I knew something changed.I began to know how hard he was working,though he is NO.1,though people are still talking about who and how can defeat Roger Federer,for he is so mentlly strong.

The last tournament of 2005. The Shanghai Tennis Master's Cup.Before it started ,we had known it would be hard for him,for he was injured and walked with a stick just three weeks ago.But he played so well that made us almost forgot his injury.the last match.Roger Federer VS David Nalbandian. they'd had faced before the final in that tournament.the final was a hard match ,and it lasted 4and a half hours,but goger lost the game because of his injury,you could see how upset he was.That was the last match of the year!But he still smiled and congrstulated his opponent.

That match,he lost but he wasn't been defeated.As one of his fans,I'm so proud of him.He is not only a great player but also a great man!A true man!

The new year is coming and he has gone to Australia to prepare.He has sacrificed so much for tennis,sohe deserves what he got!2006 is a brand new year,and challenges and

trophies are awaiting him ahead.GO,ROGER!!!!!

The TV business has made what you are, and you have also made the TV program what it is. How do you make TV your means of personal fulfillment?

Steven: Speaking of the subject of today, what changes have you seen happening in digital learning in China?

Dr. Seymour Papert: I think there are some very very good experimental projects, for example, I mentioned that Pro.He from BNU--Beijing Normal University. They are doing some very interesting experimental project where they have, in some schools, I think, there’re about 50 schools where they have a lot of computers and they are really letting the students spend a lot of time with their computers. So I was impressed with that. I didn’t expect to see such…

Steven: dramatic changes?

Dr. Seymour Papert: They’re relatively large-scaled, 50

schools, (although) it is not 50,000 schools. It is not just one classroom, that’s study it is quite a substantial size. That is just one example. My impression is that they are all quite a few people doing very interesting research projects, in order to do with digital education.

Steven: Are you encouraging students to spend more time online by using computers, I mean, surfing.

Dr. Seymour Papert: They don’t need to be encouraged. They’re all doing that.

Steven: Yeah, they are doing that on their own, but the

problem is that some of parents have the concern. If children spend much more time surfing online, they might lose their literacy, they cannot write. That might be the problem.

Dr. Seymour Papert: Well, first of all, that is not necessarily true. You can’t generalize. It is true that you could waste your time surfing. But you could also do serious work surfing. So it depends on what they are doing.

Steven: And the age of the students.

Dr. Seymour Papert: I don’t think it depends on the ages. Like the experiment I mentioned that Pro. He is doing, that these are first and second grade students. They are just learning to

write, why are they learning to write? Because they find interesting things to read on net. By surfing, of course they learn to read and as they learn to read, they also learn to write. That's an example. Surfing helps them encourage writing. They write better, they learn more than the other students. It's true that you can see the opposite also.

Steven: Yeah. Because I used to practice Chinese calligraphy, but now I can hardly pick it up because I use too much computer.

Dr. Seymour Papert: Well, but if you became really interested in playing the piano you would spend time playing. That’s the same thing. You think it is because of the computer or because you are already interested in something else.

Steven: And because there is too much fun online.

Dr. Seymour Papert: Well you find fun on the line, but if you were a musician, you would find fun with musical instruments, so or if you were a poet, you would find fun writing a poet. I don’t know if the computer is more fun. It’s more fun for the

people who like that. But for the people like other things, that’s (not like that).

Steven: Let’s say computer is just tool by which we can, we can do our homework, download music and things like that.

Dr. Seymour Papert: Well, of course you can just use it as a tool, but some people are interested in how it works, and want to change it, and it’s not doesn’t have to be just a tool.

Steven: So what do you use the computers for in your class?

Dr. Seymour Papert: In my class? Well, that’s an interesting question. Of course, everybody uses the computer, if you would find some articles about somebody. Some of my

classes are about using the computer. So they will do other things, maybe create some new things, software, or some use of computers. Because that’s what way they are studying.

Steven: So the students use the computer after class, right?

Dr. Seymour Papert: You mean while the class’s going on? Or

maybe for taking notes. Yes.
