Rob: Young married couples need a general life policy that covers health and accidents. Fiona: And that endowment thing? Rob: It's normally not the first thing you buy, but since you have it...keep it until it matures. Fiona: So health covers surgeries, treatment costs... Rob: ...and more. And accident is for travel and accidental death and dismemberment. Fiona: How grotesque! Rob: Perhaps, but it'll give you peace of mind. Do either of you smoke? Fiona: No, why?
6.This modern country maintains its traditions and hearty spirit, celebrating many festivals. Its most popular Midsummer Day finds many Finns lighting bonfires and drinking enthusiastically at their country homes. Finland is also home to the world’s longest-running rock festival, Ruisrock. The best-known event is the Savolinna Opera Festival, while the strangest is probably the annual wife-carrying championship, where the winner is awarded his wife’s weight in beer. （英译汉）

Bush to Push Free Trade at Upcoming Economic Summit
布什将在经济峰会中提倡自由贸易
U.S. President George Bush talked Saturday about the agenda for next month's international economic summit at the White House.
美国总统布什星期六谈论了下个月在白宫举行的国际经济高峰会议的议程。
President Bush devoted his weekly radio address to previewing his meeting with other leaders of the so-called Group of 20 nations on the global economic crisis.
"During the summit we will discuss the causes of the problems in our financial systems, review the progress being made to address the current crisis, and begin developing principles of reform for regulatory bodies in institutions related to our financial sectors," he said.
Earlier in the week, Mr. Bush invited leaders of wealthy nations and the heads of major developing economies to the White House on November 15, to focus on the global financial crisis. Administration officials see the summit as the first in a series of meetings on the global economy. The president said Saturday the meeting will give world leaders a chance to sit in one room and discuss the situation.
"While the specific solutions pursued by every country may not be the same, agreeing on a common set of principles will be an essential step towards preventing similar crises in the future," he said.
The summit will include the leading industrialized nations, plus emerging economies such as Brazil, India, China and South Africa. Mr. Bush said he will push hard for the principles of free trade.
"Open market policies have lifted standards of living and helped millions of people around the world escape the grip of poverty," he said. "These policies have shown themselves time and time again to be the surest path to creating jobs, increasing commerce and fostering progress. And this moment of global economic uncertainty would be precisely the wrong time to reject such proven methods for creating prosperity and hope."
White House Press Secretary Dana Perino said earlier in the week both presidential candidates, John McCain and Barack Obama, have been informed about plans for the initial summit. She said there was no decision on whether the winner of the November 4 election will attend.

We Shot The Moon--Please Shine
Fly away on a plane
Just like you came to me
Take a bow,you take a bow
Your spirits left with me
Watch the clouds making shapes
And picture me with you
I'm so alive,I'm so alive
You color up my world
Halleluiah was all that I could sing
Halleluiah
You shine,I shine
My dear,my life
Is washed up like a seashell longing to be dry
So please shine,please shine
ah ah ah ah sh ...
Reverie,your reverie is full of all of me
Walk around my town all day
We pretend to run away
Halleluiah was all that i could sing
Halleluiah
You shine,I shine
My dear,my life
Is washed up like a seashell longing to be dry
So please shine,please shine
So bright
You're over there and I was nowhere near
You shine,I shine
My dear my life
Is washed up like a seashell longing to be dry
So please shine,please shine
If you shine I shine
My dear my life
Is washed up like a seashell longing to be dry
So please shine ,please shine...
