當96歲高齡的沙博理步入典禮現場時，全場觀眾起立鼓掌致意。他在隨後致辭說：「這個獎對我是一個很大的光榮，它也表現全世界的人民多麼佩服中國和佩服中國的人民。1947年我剛來華的時候，有人說中國是亞洲的病人，現在可能那些人，現在還怕我們太健康了」。
「只要我還活著，我一定要配得起(自己的)責任，要大聲高興地喊叫，『我是一個中國人』。」沙博理原名Sidney Shapiro，中文名取自「博學明理」之意。1947年春天，他抱著「到中國看看」的心理，帶著僅有的200美元積蓄隻身來到上海，令他沒有想到的是，這個決定讓他從此與中國結下了不解之緣。
在上海落腳後的沙博理，遇到了改變他一生的女人，也就是他後來的妻子——鳳子。鳳子畢業於復旦大學，早期主演過《雷雨》、《日出》，是上海文藝界的活躍人物，在她的幫助下，沙博理不但更快速地學習了漢語，而且更深入地了解了中國文化。也許是愛情的力量，也許是時代的力量，沙博理決定留在中國，投身於中國的發展，投身於一種新的生活。沙博理說，「因為鳳子，我才能適應並且心滿意足地生活在中國。她已成為我的中國。鳳子，Phoenix，我的中國的鳳凰。我愛上了鳳凰，也愛上了中國龍。」
婚後的沙博理，由於一次偶然的機會，開始嘗試接觸一個全新的領域——翻譯。從1956年第一本譯著出版開始，幾十年來，他一直筆耕不輟，把中國的很多著名作品都翻譯成了英文，包括《家》、《春蠶》、《小城春秋》、《我的父親鄧小平》等，使得中國的文化經脈得以在國外的土壤中繼續延伸。
其中最有名的當屬其翻譯的中國古典名著《水滸傳》，這一英文版本被認為是「信、達、雅」兼備的絕妙譯作，沙老也因此贏得中國文聯最高翻譯獎。沙老曾經寫下這樣的一段文字：「翻譯中國文學是我的職業，也是我的樂趣。它使我有機會去『認識』更多的中國人，到更多的地方去『旅行』，比我幾輩子可能做到的還要多。」他通過這些翻譯作品，向世界傳播了中國的形象，努力讓世界認識一個真實的中國。
除了翻譯著作，沙老撰寫的《一個美國人在中國》、《中國學者論述中國古代猶太人》、《中國古代刑法與案例傳說》、《馬海德傳》以及自傳《我的中國》等書，先後在中國、美國、以色列、新加坡等國出版，也引起很大反響。他還長期擔任外文局英文版《中國文學》、《人民畫報》譯審，寫作之餘，沙博理也曾在《西安事變》等三部影片中客串過角色。
自1983年沙博理離休後當選為第六屆全國政協委員以來，一直連任至今，他始終積極參政議政，常到全國各地考察，對一些問題提議案，行使政協委員的權利和責任。沙博理被稱為是「陪伴中國人民走過半個多世紀的真誠朋友」。
2010年12月3日，沙博理獲得了「中國翻譯文化終身成就獎」。2006年成立的「中國翻譯文化終身成就獎」是中國翻譯協會用以表彰翻譯家個人的最高榮譽獎項。此前，只有季羨林和楊憲益獲得過該獎。
「影響世界華人盛典」由鳳凰衛視及鳳凰新媒體策劃發起，中國新聞社、北京大學等十餘家在兩岸三地、東南亞、美加及歐洲富影響力的華文媒體和機構共同主辦，迄今舉辦5屆，已成為華人世界重量級的年度盛事。
Welcome to IELTS Test Tips !IELTS Test Tips – Listening
The IELTS Listening test is divided into four sections that assess your ability to understand conversations and lectures on both general and academic topics. The Listening test lasts 30 minutes and requires you to answer 40 questions.
Listening tip 1: English is out there – listen widely for it．
If you are living in an English-speaking country, remember that English is all around you. Do as Siddhi recommends and eavesdrop – listen to people speaking in places such as cafés or shops.
If you are not living in an English-speaking country, listen to English-language spoken on the TV, radio or Internet.
Listening tip 2: During the Listening test
The Listening test is only played once, so listen carefully!
Use the 30-second breaks to read the questions and underline the key words.
Be a step ahead – be prepared to hear the answers to more than one question.
Transfer your answers carefully to the Answer Sheet at the end of the test.
Additional tips :
Listen to different accents of English speakers.
Spelling is important in the Listening test – look at the spelling of names, places and words on signs, in shops and in English publications.
IELTS Test Tips – Speaking
The IELTS Speaking test involves an 11 – 14 minute interview with a trained IELTS examiner. You will be asked to answer questions on a range of both familiar and general interest topics. The Speaking Test is divided into three parts:
Part 1: The Introduction and Interview
The examiner asks you questions on topics that are familiar to you.
Part 2: The Individual Long Turn
The examiner gives you a card with a topic and questions (prompts), which you must speak about for one to two minutes.
Part 3: The Two-way Discussion
The examiner asks you more challenging questions related to the topic in Part 2.
Speaking tip 1: Reading tips news-flash
In the Reading test, get to know the Question Booklet, particularly the topics of the reading passages and the question types for each.
Allow a maximum of 20 minutes to answer the questions for each passage.
Write your answers directly onto the Answer Sheet.
Practise answering Reading Tests in the test time (one hour).
Additional tips :
Become acquainted with the different question types used in the Reading test.
Practise answering the more difficult question types, and time yourself. Some of the more difficult question types are: Yes/No/Not Given questions, Summary Completion questions, and Paragraph Matching Headings questions.
Speaking tip 2: The Speaking test is an interview, not a conversation
The IELTS Speaking test is an interview, so you should do most of the talking.
Make the length of your answers appropriate for the question: answer simple information questions (e.g. Where are you from?) with a brief answer; answer more detailed questions more fully (e.g. Why do you think some people are more musical than others?).
Additional tip :
The Speaking test is a formal interview, so the examiner will be polite but formal. Don』t worry if the examiner doesn』t talk or smile. The examiner is giving you the chance to talk as much as possible and is concentrating carefully on what you say.
Speaking tip 3: Present yourself confidently
Present yourself confidently – first impressions count!
Use good eye contact and posture when you are speaking with the examiner.
Answer the questions positively – don』t make comments about how nervous you are!
Additional tips :
Use appropriate body language, facial expression_r and gestures for the interview.
Don"t apologise for your English ability or say you need an IELTS 6.5!
Final impressions also count. At the end of the interview, politely thank the examiner, eg 『Thank you for your time. It was nice talking with you.』
Speaking tip 4: Don"t memorise your answers
Examiners know when you have memorised an answer!
Instead of memorising answers for Part 1, practise giving spontaneous answers to questions about yourself, eg studies, hobbies and culture.
Focus on understanding and answering the specific question, rather than giving an answer that is very general.
Additional tips :
If you don』t understand a question, ask the examiner to repeat it, 『I』m sorry, could you say that again?』
If you don』t understand the meaning of a work, ask the examiner, eg 『I』m sorry, what does … mean?』
Speaking tip 5: It"s your performance .
Part 2 of the Speaking test is a two-minute uninterrupted talk. This is your chance to perform and show off your English!
You have one minute to prepare your two-minute talk, and will receive a pencil and paper to make notes. These will help you give a well-organised talk.
Follow the prompts on the card the examiner gives you. They will help you give a clear, complete talk.
Additional tips :
You will not be penalised if you don』t answer all the questions on the card. They are there to help guide your talk.
Don』t worry about watching the time - the examiner will tell you when to finish.
While you are studying for the test, practise speaking on different topics for one to two minutes.
Speaking tip 6: Clarify the meaning of the question
Part 3 of the Speaking test is the most challenging. It is important that you understand the questions.
If you don』t understand a question, clarify it with the examiner in a positive way, e.g. 『So are you asking….?』 rather than, 『I don』t understand.』
Additional tip : Answering the question
Extend your answers by giving opinions, reasons, examples and explanations.
Use a wide range of sentence structures, grammar and vocabulary.
