　　藏文翻译事业随着西藏改革开放和现代化建设事业的发展而得到迅速发展。1993年成立了西藏翻译工作者协会，并先后成立了拉萨市和日喀则地区分会；共举办了 7期翻译培训班，培训337人次；1994年在西藏举办了全国第二次暨西藏首届藏语文翻译学术研讨会，并先后派人员参加了在北京、青海、甘肃、新疆等地举办的全国性翻译学术研讨会和在澳大利亚、韩国等国举办的世界翻译大会以及亚洲翻译论坛等学术活动。据不完全统计，目前西藏从事藏文翻译工作的有1000人左右，担负着法律、新闻、公文、科技、教育、文学、医学、影视等多种学科领域的繁重翻译任务，每年要完成3000多万字的翻译量。翻译工作在西藏各项事业中发挥着不可替代的作用，有力地捉进了藏语文的学习、使用和发展。

　　Before Keynes，economists were gloomy naysayers.“Nothing can be done”，“ Don't interfere，” “It will never work，”they intoned with Eeyore——like pessimism.But Keynes was an unswerving optimist.Of course we can lick unemployment！There is no reason to put up with recessions and depressions！The “economic problem is not ——if we look into the future——the permanent problem of the human race，”he wrote.

　　Keynes was born in Cambridge，England，in 1883.His father John Neville Keynes was a noted Cambridge economist.His mother Florence Ada Keynes became mayor of Cambridge.Young John was a brilliant student but didn't immediately aspire to either acadmic or public life.He wanted to run a railroad.“It is so easy…… and fascinating to master the principles of these things，”he told a friend，with his usual modesty.But no railroad came along，and Keynes ended up taking the civil service exam.His lowest mark was in economics.“I evidently knew more about Economics than my examiners.”he later explained.

　　Keynes was posted to the India Office，but the Civil Service proved deadly dull，and he soon left.He lectured at Cambridge，edited an influential journal and socialized with his Bloomsbury friends，surrounded himself with artists and writers and led an altogether dilettantish life until Archduke Francis Ferdinand of Austria was assassinated in Sarajevo， and Europe was plunged into World War I.Keynes was called to Britain's Treasury to work on overseas finances，where he quickly shone.Even his artistic tastes came in handy.He figured a way to balance the French accounts by having Britain's National Gallery buy paintings by Manet，Corot and Delacroix at bargain prices.
