BEUING (Associated Press 美聯(lián)社) —China has a growing middle class, a tradition of expecting education and 21 million new babies every year. Selling educational toys should be easy.
While China may be the world’s biggest toymaker, many of the best are exported . Department stores here do not have enough high quality toys. It is said that the demand for educational toys is low.
A US company, BabyCare, is trying to change that with a new way to sell toys in China.
BabyCare works basically together with doctors in Beijing hospitals.  People who join the company’s "mother club"can get lectures and newsletters on baby and child development at no extra cost, if they agree to spend 18 dollars a month on the company’s educational toys and child?care books.
"We want to build a seven?year relationship with those people," said Matthew J. Estes, BabyCare’s president. "It starts during pregnancy , when the anxiety and needs are highest." BabyCare works on a onetoone basis. Doctors, nurses, and teachers paid by BabyCare advise parents, explain toys that are designed for children at each stage of development to age six.
BabyCare opened its first store in China last June in a shopping center in central Beijing and another near Beijing Zoo. It plans to have 80 stores in China within six years.

The municipal(市政） office of foreign affairs has published a book to recommend translations of Chinese dishes, which aims to help restaurants avoid bizarre translations．It provides the names of' main dishes of famous Chinese cuisines in plain English," an official with the city's Foreign Affairs Office said．" Restaurants are encouraged to use the proposed translations, but it will not be compulsory”．It's the city's latest effort to bridge the culture gap for foreign travellers in China．

Coming up with precise translations" is a daunting task, as some Chinese culinary techniques are untranslatable and many Chinese dishes have no English－language equivalent. The translators, after conducting a study of Chinese restaurants in English - speaking countries, divided the dish names into four categories: ingredients, cooking method, taste and name of a person or a place． For some traditional dishes, pinyin, the Chinese phonetic system, is used, such as mapo tofu （previously often literally translated as "beancurd made by woman with freckles"), baozi（ steamed stuffed bun）and jiaozi （ dumplings）to "reflect the Chinese culture," according to the book．

　 "The book is a blessing to tourist guides like me． Having it, I don't have to rack my brains trying to explain Chinese dishes to foreign travellers," said Zheng Xiaodong, a 31 – year - old employee with a Beijing - based travel agency．

　 "I will buy the book as I major in English literature and I'd like to introduce Chinese cuisine culture to more foreign friends," said Han Yang, a postgraduate student at the University of International Business and Economics．

　 It is not clear if the book will be introduced to other parts of China． But on Tuesday, this was the most discussed topic on weibo．com, China's most popular microblogging site．
