To qualify to study in Belgium, it is essential to meet relevant requirements in (1) academic credentials, (2) linguistic skills, (3) academic objectives and (4) financial resources. Let us review these four points:

1. Academic credentials
Equivalence and admissibility of degrees will be assessed according to Belgian law and individual university regulations. Please submit a copy of your degree with a translation to the chosen university's admission boards.

2. Language skills
Chinese students who wish to follow courses in Dutch or French must realize that a superficial knowledge of the language will not do. The ability to speak Dutch or French is imperative in order to follow lectures and to pass examinations. A preparatory year of language instruction is available in some universities for already enrolled students. Please apply for information at the university of your choice.

Students who wish to attend lectures in English (post-academic training international courses) must of course have a good command of that language. Universities will inform you about their individual TOEFL requirements.

3. Programs
Belgian universities offer basic academic courses, advance academic training courses, doctoral programs, post-academic training and various international study programs (Master's) in the fields of technology, law, economics and applied economics, political and social sciences, dentistry, pharmaceutical sciences, language and literature/history, archaeology and art sciences, psychology and educational sciences, medial sciences, engineering and applied biological sciences.

4. Financing
Although precise determination of study and living expenses depends on individual life style, one can assess that about 350,000 Belgian Francs (BEF) (about 88,000 RMB) is necessary for one year's study. This amount should include books, housing, food, transport, and health insurance. It does not include registration fees which can vary from about 25,000 BEF for a student under scholarship to 290,000 BEF for a self financing student, according to the chosen study program.

亚欧第二大陆桥东起我国连云港，西至世界第一大港荷兰的鹿特丹，横跨亚欧两大洲，连云港接太平洋和大西洋，穿越中国、独联体、波兰、德国和荷兰，辐射二十多个国家和地区。据测算，她与横贯西伯利亚的大陆桥相比，总运距缩短2000到2500公里。从连云港到西欧陆桥联运，比绕道印度洋海运，运费可节省20%，运期可缩短50%左右。这就为发展两大洲的经济合作和贸易往来，提供了极大便利，也为我国沿边开放，特别是新疆进一步扩大对外开放创造了极为有利的条件。

亚欧第二大陆桥建成不久，中国与哈萨克斯坦共和国两国间已开始营运，全线联运有待开通，国内外各界朋友对她还了解不多。我国进一步对外开放，扩大沿边开放，需要发挥亚欧第二大陆桥的重要作用。在亚欧第二大陆桥我国沿线以及辐射地区，工商 企业 星罗棋布，他们像银河中璀璨的群星，为这座大陆桥增辉。而地处这座大陆桥我国沿线西端的新疆维吾尔自治区，是我国向西开放的重要窗口和门户，她的众多企业，都将努力为加强国内外的经济交流和友好往来发出一份光和热。

SECTION B: ENGLISH TO CHINESE (30 MIN.)

The persistence of the public works pork barrel -- funding blatantly political projects - has also contributed to public skepticism. In the same year that Moynihan decried the death of Westway, local politicians celebrated the opening of the '1,800 million Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway, recently described by the Atlantic Journal Constitution as "a broken promise." A classic pork barrel project, the waterway carries only one-tenth the commercial barge traffic that had been projected.

In an important sense, however, the loss of faith and direction in the way the country has built infrastructure in the past is for the better. The methods of the master planner and master builder are poorly suited to a dynamic economy whose demand for new infrastructure is unpredictable and constantly changing. In the new economy, the neat but rigid prescriptions of technical experts and planners are as likely to yield expensive and underused projects as improvements in national productivity. There are solution. Privatization and user fees, touted by many analysts chiefly as ways to raise capital for infrastructure and to streamline operations, have much broader implications than have yet been appreciated. They offer the best guide to creating infrastructure that can meet the nation's rapidly changing demands.    

A growing awareness of the human and environmental costs of roads, dams, and other infrastructure projects brought the public's faith in experts to an end during the 1960s and '70s. Increasingly, American came to believe that efficiency, the totem of the experts, is not the sole value. People and communities matter; the environment matters.
