I would like to emphasize here that an open, rule-based multilateral trading system serves the common interests of all APEC members. Though the Doha round of WTO talks suffered some setbacks, so long as all parties persist in consultation on an equal footing in the spirit of seeking common ground while shelving differences, it will be successful in the end. APEC can play an active role to this end by keeping up its efforts toward the Bogor Goals. In making bilateral or intra-regional free trade arrangements, efforts should be made to ensure their consistency with the WTO rules and APEC principles, so that they can contribute to greater trade and investment in the region, faster economic development and stronger capacity of members to resist economic risks. 美国的个人主义（“我”中心主义）和中国的集体主义（“我们”中心主义）截然不同。数千年来，千百万中国人都是靠有限的土地和资源生活。经济和社会的客观条件，加上儒家的、佛教和道教的伦理道德观的约束，使中国人把个人的目标置于社会需要之下。若干世纪的集体文化，历史性地、不可避免地形成了某种中国的社会主义。相比之下，为什么美国人会是世界上最强调个性主义的人民，是显而易见的了。仅仅几世纪以前，欧洲人开拓了一个广阔的、人口比较稀少的大陆，在那里，由于政府动员他们在那偏远地区落户，他们享受着空前未有的自由和机会，虽然美国的偏远地区已经不存在了，强调个性这种偏远地区的心理状态却仍然是美国文化的感情和理性基础。个人主义和集体主义渗透进东西方文化的方方面面，影响着美国和中国的经济、政治、伦理道德和价值观，在交往方式上尤其如此。这一点是很重要的。因为调查研究已经证实，国际商务和国际关系的失败，首要原因不是经济的，也不是商务上的，而是跨国文化交流方面的。文化往往是误解的罪魁祸首。  Key to TEM8-M02 Listening Comprehension 1. oral 2. specific 3. clarify 4. challeng
