驻英国大使刘晓明在上海世博会图片英国巡回展利物浦站酒会上的讲话 2010年9月21日，利物浦市圣乔治礼堂
Speech by H.E.Ambassador Liu Xiaoming at “EXPO NOW” in Liverpool 21 September 2010, St.George’s Hall, Liverpool
尊敬的利物浦市市长威廉姆斯女士，尊敬的利物浦市议长安德森先生，倪坚总领事，女士们，先生们，Councillor Hazel Williams, the Lord Mayor of Liverpool, Councillor Joe Anderson, Leader of the Liverpool Council, Consul-General Ni Jian, Ladies and Gentlemen，感谢大家光临上海世博会图片英国巡回展利物浦站。
Thank you for joining us at the “EXPO NOW” Photo Exhibition here in Liverpool.这是四个多月来我第四次就上海世博会发表讲话，第三次出席世博会图片英国巡回展活动。今天与以往既不同，又相同。不同的是以下三点：
This is the fourth time I have spoken about the Shanghai World Expo and the third such event I have attended since the end of April when the Expo was officially opened.During this time, my feelings and views about the Expo have intensified in a number of ways:
首先，世博会对我已不再是一种抽象的认识。俗话说，“耳听为虚，眼见为实”。我在夏天回国述职休假的时候亲眼目睹了上海世博会的盛况，直接体验了“中国馆”的雄伟和“英国馆”的创意。而且，今天的来宾中，有许多同我一样已身临其境。
First, I was lucky enough to have visited the Expo during my recent home leave in China.After the visit I must say that the Expo is much more than what one reads in newspapers or watches on the TV.I was most struck by the magnificence of the China Pavilion and the creativity of the UK Pavilion alike.Chinese internet users have given the UK pavilion a Chinese name: “Pu-gong-ying”-the dandelion, which I believe many of you have visited.第二，英国与上海世博会的关系又加深了一层。就在本月8日，英国国家馆日上演了华彩篇章。约克公爵作为英国首席嘉宾出席了英国国家馆日仪式，英国国家芭蕾舞团和上海芭蕾舞团合作的《爱有多重》在世博园举行了全球首演，130名来自中英两国艺术院校的学生则共同出演了芭蕾舞剧《天鹅之旅》。通过精彩纷呈的英国馆日活动，中国民众更加感受到了英国对世博会的热情参与，英国也更好地向中国民众展现了自己的特色和优势。
The spectacular UK National Pavilion Day on the 8th of September, which was attended by His Royal Highness the Duke of York and other British dignitaries, brought Britain and the Expo even closer together.The event featured the world premiere of The Weight of Love, a ballet performed by dancers from both the English National Ballet and the Shanghai Ballet, and Swanning Around, a dance performance by 130 Chinese and British art students.These events have impressed upon the Chinese audience Britain’s enthusiasm for the World Expo and many of its unique qualities and strengths.第三，利物浦与上海世博会有着不解之缘。利物浦是英国第二大港口城市，与中国的海上贸易有一百多年历史。利物浦是华人最早移民欧洲的落脚点，建有欧洲最早的中国城和华人社团。利物浦的两大品牌——甲壳虫乐队和英超“红军”利物浦队，中国民众耳熟能详。利物浦与上海缔结友城已有11年，两市一直保持着密切的经济、贸易和文化交往。利物浦又是英国唯一单独建馆参加本届世博会的城市，坐落于世博会最佳城市实践区的利物浦馆充分表现了利物浦丰富的历史遗迹和宏大的城市复兴。今天来到利物浦，出席上海世博会图片英国巡回展，令我倍感亲切。我也知道，10月16日是上海世博会“利物浦馆日”，届时威廉姆斯市长和安德森议长将率领利物浦市代表团莅临现场，我预祝“利物浦馆日”活动取得圆满成功，预祝代表团访问上海之行顺利愉快！
Liverpool enjoys a unique bond with the Shanghai World Expo.As the second largest port city of Britain, Liverpool started trade with Shanghai as early as more than a century ago.It received the first Chinese settlers to Europe and has the oldest Chinatown and Chinese community in Europe.The Beatles and the Liverpool Football Club, two symbols of Liverpool, are household names in China.Since Liverpool and Shanghai became sister cities 11 years ago, the economic, trade and cultural ties between them have flourished.Not to say that Liverpool is the only UK city with its own pavilion in the Expo.Housed in the Urban Best Practice Area, the Liverpool pavilion not only shows the rich historical heritage of Liverpool, but also a great city revitalised.So it is very special for me to attend a photo exhibition on the Shanghai world expo, here in Liverpool.I was also glad to learn that the Lord Mayor and the Leader of the Liverpool Council will go to the Shanghai World Expo for the “Liverpool Day” on 16th October.I wish the Liverpool Day a complete success and the delegation from Liverpool a pleasant stay in Shanghai.尽管感受和情况有所不同，但我对世博会的认识和看法更加坚定和强烈： Apart from these new discoveries, there are some things I have always believed about the Expo:
第一，上海世博会确实是人类最新科技和发展理念的一次集中展示。上海世博会探索人与自然的和谐相处，描绘未来城市发展前景，传播低碳和绿色理念，展现人类最新科技创新成果，生动、有效地演绎了“城市，让生活更美好”这一主题。
Firstly, the Shanghai World Expo is a great display of the latest technologies and development ideas.It seeks to explore ways for us to live in harmony with nature by setting a direction for future urban development, through a green, low-carbon way of life.It also displays the latest scientific achievements under the theme of “better city, better life”.第二，上海世博会确实是世界文化多样性的一次集中展示。246个国家和国际组织共同参与的上海世博会是人类史上规模空前的大聚会。2万多场文化活动的上演不仅是一场视觉和听觉盛宴，而且是不同文化的交流与交融；是荟萃人类文明成果的盛会，也是世界各国人民共享欢迎和友谊的聚会。
Secondly, the Shanghai World Expo is a unique showcase of cultural diversity in our world, bringing together 246 countries and international organisations and offering over 20 thousand cultural events.It not only provides an opportunity to understand what mankind has achieved, but also helps the friendship and understanding among people all over the world.第三，上海世博会确实是中国的一次对外集中展示。继北京奥运会，时间跨度长达6个月的上海世博会给世界又一次近距离了解中国的机会。每个人从世博会归来后都有自己不同的感受，但我想有一点或许是一致的，那就是中国更加开放，人民更加幸福，中国与世界的关系更加密切。
Thirdly, the Shanghai World Expo is another close encounter between China and the world since the Beijing Olympics, this time through a 6-month long event.People will have many different feelings and thoughts about the Expo.But I hope that they have all seen a more open and happy China, closer to the rest of the world.截至昨天，上海世博会开园143天，累计参观者已突破5300万人次。整个上海世博会期间的观众，很有可能超过6400万人次的世博会纪录。上海世博会是上海的成功，是中国的成功，也是世界的成功。
By yesterday, the 143rd day of the Expo, it has attracted more than 53 million visitors.It may well exceed the record of 64 million visitors.The success of the World Expo is a success for Shanghai, for China and for the world.我愿借此机会，衷心地感谢英国奥雅纳集团（ARUP）和上海联谊会的大力协助，感谢中国银行（英国）公司和中国交通银行为巡回展提供赞助，同时感谢倪坚总领事及总领馆人员的辛勤筹办，我也要特别感谢圣乔治礼堂为巡回展提供了场地和各项周到服务。
I take this opportunity to thank ARUP and the Friendship Association of Shanghai for their assistance and support for EXPO NOW.I would also like to thank Bank of China(UK)and the Bank of Communications of China for sponsoring this event, and Consul-General Ni Jian and his colleagues for their hard work.A special word of thanks is also due to our friends at the St.George’s Hall for this wonderful venue and for their thoughtful arrangements.最后，祝上海世博会图片英国巡回展在利物浦圆满成功！
To conclude, I wish the Photo Exhibition in Liverpool a great success!
谢谢。Thank you.

驻英国大使刘晓明在国庆62周年招待会上的讲话
Remarks by H.E.Ambassador Liu Xiaoming at the Reception Marking the 62nd Anniversary of the Founding of the People’s Republic of China
2011年9月29日，中国驻英国大使馆
尊敬的英国外交国务大臣布朗阁下，尊敬的英国议会下院副议长伊文斯阁下，尊敬的各位使节、各位将军、各位议员，女士们、先生们、朋友们：
Minister Jeremy Browne, Deputy Speaker Nigel Evans, Excellencies and members of the diplomatic corps, Generals, MPs, My Lords, Ladies and Gentlemen，欢迎大家出席今晚的招待会，同我们一道庆祝中华人民共和国成立62周年。
Welcome to the reception tonight celebrating the 62nd anniversary of the founding of the People‟s Republic of China.62年前，面对一个积贫积弱、百废待兴的国家，新中国的缔造者们为她的未来描绘了一幅图景，那就是中华民族“勇敢而勤劳地工作，创造自己的文明和幸福，同时促进世界的和平和自由。”
years ago China was a poor and weak country badly in need of reconstruction.The founding fathers of the People‟s Republic articulated a vision for the future of the country.Their blueprint was a call to action to the Chinese people.The message was this: · „Let us work hard to create our own civilization.· We will build a happy life and contribute to world peace and freedom.‟
今天，这份图景正在成为现实。今天的中国欣欣向荣，通过62年的艰苦奋斗，特别是33年的改革开放，中国已经成为世界第二大经济体和世界第二大贸易体；今天的中国稳定和谐，民主法治越来越健全，公平正义越来越得到崇尚；今天的中国与世界互利共赢，在国际和地区事务中发挥着积极和负责任的作用，与各国同舟共济，合力应对金融危机，促进共同发展。
This ambition is becoming a reality.China today is a prosperous economy.The impact is there to be seen in China.62 years of hard work and 33 years of reform and opening-up have transformed my country.China has been turned into the world‟s second largest economy and trading nation.China today is a stable and harmonious society.Democracy and rule of law have been further strengthened.Fairness and justice are the shared pursuit of the government and the people.China today is a responsible contributor in the international system.We seek a win-win relationship with all nations.China plays an active and responsible role in international and regional affairs.We are making joint efforts with the world to battle the financial crisis and promote peaceful and sustainable development worldwide.就在5个小时前，中国成功发射了“天宫一号”目标飞行器，迈出了建设空间站的重要一步。中国的太空探索将为人类科学研究、和平利用太空做出新的贡献。
Just 5 hours ago, China‟s Tiangong-1 space module was successfully launched.It is another important step in our program to build a space station.Progress in China‟s space exploration will make new contribution to international scientific research and peaceful use of space.我们对中国过去62年取得的成就感到骄傲，更对中国的未来充满信心。
We have every reason to be proud of what China has achieved in the past 62 years, and have great confidence that China will have a bright future.最近，中国政府发表了《中国的和平发展》白皮书，再次郑重向全世界宣告，中国将坚定不移地沿着和平发展的道路走下去。我们坚信，只有这条道路，中国才能实现现代化和富民强国，才能为世界文明进步作出更大贡献。
Recently, the Chinese government published a white paper that is called „China‟s Peaceful Development.This document reaffirms to the world China‟s commitment:
· China is committed to a path of peaceful development.We see this as the only path leading to China‟s modernization and prosperity and greater contribution by China to the progress of human civilization.中国将坚持科学发展。我们将以人为本，始终尊重人权和人的价值，走共同富裕道路；我们将促进全面协调可持续发展，全面推进经济、政治、文化、社会及生态各领域建设。
· China pursues scientific development.In essence it means that in China we take a people-first approach and respect human rights and human values.Our mission is to deliver a prosperous life to all our people.We seek balanced and sustainable development in all aspects.China‟s aim is to promote all-round progress in economic, political, cultural, social and ecological fields.中国将坚持自主发展。我们将从本国国情出发，主要依靠自身力量和改革创新推动经济社会发展，不把问题和矛盾转嫁给别国。
· China relies on itself for addressing challenges of development.We will mainly rely on our own hard work and on reform and innovation to promote economic and social development.And we will not in any way shift problems to others.中国将坚持开放发展。我们将积极参与经济全球化，学习借鉴人类社会一切文明成果，以开放的姿态融入世界，不断拓展对外开放。中国不会也不能关起门来搞建设。
· China‟s development is best served by greater openness to the outside world.We are an active player in globalisation.Chinese people welcome the opportunity to learn the best of other civilisations.China will open wider to the world: we will notcut ourselves off from the rest of world.中国将坚持和平发展。中国绝不搞侵略扩张，永远不争霸、不称霸，始终作维护世界和地区和平稳定的坚定力量，为国家发展营造良好的外部环境。
· China‟s development is a force for peace in the world.We will never seek invasion, expansion or hegemony.We are a staunch force for world and regional peace and stability.And we are determined to create a favorable environment for China to reach its development goals.中国将坚持合作发展。我们将坚持以合作谋和平、以合作促发展、以合作化争端，致力于通过同各国不断扩大互利合作，有效应对各种全球性挑战。
· China believes in development by cooperation.We seek the widest possible cooperation with the world.Our aim is to uphold peace, promote development and resolve disputes.China believes in cooperation as an effective channel to address global challenges.中国将坚持共同发展。我们将继续奉行互利共赢的开放战略，在追求自身发展的同时，努力实现与他国发展的良性互动，促进世界的共同繁荣。
· China seeks common development.We will continue to carry out a win-win opening-up policy.While achieving our own development, we will build good relations with other countries and promote shared prosperity of the world.在中国走和平发展道路的进程中，我们始终将英国作为重要的合作伙伴。新时期，两国加强合作不仅有利于两国的发展，也将造福世界。
In the course of its peaceful development, China has always regarded Britain as an important partner.Stronger cooperation not only serves Chinese and British interests, but also contributes to world peace and prosperity.中英合作是双赢。中英经济互补性强，英国具有金融、技术、创新和管理等长项，中国具有资金、市场和劳动力等优势，“强强结合”可以为双方经济增长提供强大动力。
China‟s cooperation with Britain is mutually beneficial.Our economies are highly complementary.Britain‟s strength lies in finance, technology, innovation and business management.China‟s growth potential comes from its abundant capital, vast market and large pool of labour.By building a „Partnership for Growth, we can contribute to each other‟s economic prosperity.中英合作也是多赢。中英同为联合国安理会常任理事国和二十国集团成员，两国在国际政治和世界经济事务中保持密切沟通和协调，共担责任、共迎挑战，有利于世界的和平与发展。
China-Britain comprehensive partnership is a contribution to the world.We are both members of the UN Security Council and the G20.We have maintained close communication and coordination in international affairs.Together, we have taken our due responsibilities, risen to challenges and contributed to world peace and development.我们高兴地看到，今年的中英关系精彩纷呈。温家宝总理和李克强副总理分别访英，王岐山副总理和戴秉国国务委员先后来英与英方领导人共同主持中英经济财金对话和中英战略对话。这些访问和对话进一步增进了双方共识，即以新思维、新方式推进合作，又要处理好分歧，相互尊重，相互适应，求同存异，共谋发展。今年以来，中英经贸继续保持两位数增长，特别是英国对华出口继续保持强劲势头，今年1-8月同比增长28.6%。当前，英国对华出口在其前15大出口目的国中增长最快。中国对英投资继续在各国中名列前茅。中英人文交流日益密切和深化，“汉语热”在英不断升温；再过几个月，来自中国四川的两只大熊猫就要作为“中英友谊的使者”到英国安家落户。
A close dialogue between Chinese and British leaders is a key factor in the strength of Sino-UK relations.We are encouraged to see a productive year for our relations in 2011.Premier Wen Jiabao and Vice Premier Li Keqiang both visited Britain.Vice Premier Wang Qishan came this month to co-chair the China-UK Economic and Financial Dialogue.Just this week State Councilor Dai Bingguo came to London to co-host the Strategic Dialogue.These visits and dialogues have further increased our common understandings.Both countries now agree on the need to boost our cooperation with new ideas and new approaches, while managing differences on the basis of mutual respect and mutual adjustment.This positive approach will help us to seek common ground despite our differences and promote common development.This year, trade between us has continued its double-digit growth.British exports to China have remained robust.These rose 28.6 percent year-on-year in the first 8 months of this year.That is faster than any of Britain‟s top 15 export markets.And China is still a leading investor in Britain.Our people-to-people exchanges have further deepened.The best example is the rapid increase of people of all ages studying Mandarin in many parts of this country.So far 2011 has shown a deepening of Sino-UK relations in all areas.This trend will continue.A couple of months from now, a pair of giant pandas from China will settle in Britain as “Ambassadors of China-UK friendship”.展望明年，中英将迎来建立大使级外交关系40周年，英国将举办第30届夏季奥运会，中国将成为伦敦书展主宾国。我相信，双方围绕这些重要节点，共同作出努力，中英明年的交流将更加广泛深入，合作将更加富有成果。
Next year will be another milestone in China-Britain relations: · We will celebrate 40 years of full diplomatic relations.· Britain will host the 30th Summer Olympic Games.· And China has been named the Guest of Honour of the 2012 London Book Fair.I have the confidence that together, we will use these landmark events to great effect.These will be the catalysts to widen exchanges and create ever more productive cooperation between our countries.最后，我提议，In closing, please join me in a toast:
为庆祝中华人民共和国成立62周年，· To the 62nd anniversary of the founding of the People‟s Republic of China.为中英关系不断结出丰硕成果，· To the fruitful relations between China and Britain.为各位来宾的身体健康，· And to the good health of all guests present.干杯！
Cheers!

刘晓明大使在上海世博会招待会上的讲话
领略上海韵，感受中国情，体验世界风---刘晓明大使在上海世博会招待会上的讲话 中国驻英国大使馆 2010年4月30日
Speech by Ambassador Liu Xiaoming
at the Reception to Celebrate the Opening of 2010 Shanghai World Expo Chinese Embassy in the UK 30 April 2010
尊敬的财政部经济事务大臣伊恩·皮尔逊先生, 尊敬的伦敦金融城市长安司棣先生, 各位来宾，女士们，先生们：
Mr Ian Pearson, Economic Secretary to the Treasury, My Lord Mayor, My Lords, Ladies and Gentlemen, 再过15分钟，第41届世界博览会将在中国上海隆重开幕。感谢大家出席今天的招待会，与我们一道在第一时间目睹上海世博会的开幕盛况。
In about 15 minutes, the 41st World Exposition will open in Shanghai.I would like to thank all of you for coming to the Chinese Embassy to share this exciting moment with us.英国是世博会的故乡。1851年，伦敦万国工业产品博览会在水晶宫举办，这是人类历史上第一届世博会。
Britain is home of the World Exposition.In 1851, The Great Exhibition of the Works of Industry of All Nations was held in the Crystal Palace – and was the first ever World Expo.中国参与了本次世博会，并留下了深刻的历史印记。英国画家塞鲁斯在博览会开幕式油画中，描绘了一位中国商人；《伦敦新闻画报》制作的长达7米的世博会全景画，描绘了东道主布置的中国展室； China's participation in the Great Exhibition was a big success.This success was captured by British artist Henry Selous, who included a Chinese merchant in the painting 'The Opening of the Great Exhibition', and by the Illustrated London News, which included the Chinese booth in its seven-metre-long panoramic illustration of the event.上海商人徐荣村邮寄参展的十二包湖丝，获得了“制造业和手工业奖”。But to round off the successes, Shanghai merchant Xu Rongcun won a medal for 12 packs of Huzhou silk, which he had sent by post.时光荏苒，159年过去了，世博会规模和影响已今非昔比，人类已见证了40届世界综合性博览会。世博会推动着人类的科技创新，见证了人类进步的足迹。小到蛋筒冰淇淋、瓶装水、电灯，大到电梯、汽车、飞机，都是从世博会走入公众的视野，最终融入人们的日常生活。因此诞生了这么一句名言，“一切始自世博”。159 years and 40 World Expos have passed since then.The Expo has grown in scale and influence, taking forward technical innovations and bearing witness to human progress.From ice-cream cones, bottled water and electric lamps, to lifts, cars and aircraft, – all of these have emerged from Expos to become part of our daily lives.世博会的主题也在不断演变，从展示国家实力、追求科技突破，逐步转向对人与自然和谐共存、人类社会发展前景的人文主义思考。
The themes of the Expo have also evolved, moving gradually from industrial strength, scientific and technological breakthroughs to where they are today, thinking about the future and the need for a harmonious coexistence between man and nature.上海世博会是首次在发展中国家举办的世博会，是继北京奥运会后中国举办的又一个世界盛会。中国举全国之力，集世界智慧，与各参展方密切合作，历时八年精心筹备，决心向世人奉献一届成功、精彩和难忘的世博会。
This is the first World Expo held in a developing country, and is another major global gathering in China following the Beijing Olympics back in 2008.It will be another close contact between China and the rest of the world in a 184-day long dialogue between nations.It will enable China to understand the world better and help the world to know China and Shanghai more and help foster greater friendship among the people.In the eight years of preparations for this Expo, Shanghai and in fact all of China has been working hard to stage a successful, splendid and memorable Expo.We have drawn upon the wisdom and experience of participating nations and groups, to ensure its success.--上海世博会是规模空前的一次全球盛会，将以最为广泛的参与度载入世博会史册。本届世博会有246个国家和国际组织参加，1.3万名记者报名，将举行188场国家馆日、39个国际组织荣誉日活动和2万多场文化活动，预计将吸引7000万名观众，其中350万为境外参观者。
The Shanghai Expo will be the largest to date, with 246 countries and international organizations taking part and 13,000 journalists covering it.During the Expo 188 National Days and 39 Honorary Days for International Organizations will be observed.Along with over 20,000 cultural events, it is expected to attract 70 million visitors, three and a half million of which will be coming from overseas.--上海世博会是对人类发展的思考，对城市未来的探索。亚里士多德说，“人们来到城市是为了生活，人们居住在城市是为了更好地生活”。城市为人们带来了美好生活，也带来了人口膨胀、交通拥挤、环境污染、资源紧缺和文化摩擦等问题。
Under the theme of Better City, Better Life, the Shanghai Expo represents a reflection on building cities for the future.As Aristotle said, “People come to cities for a living, and live in cities for a better life.” Cities have brought better life for people, but they have also bred population explosion, traffic congestion, environmental pollution, resource depletion and friction between cultures.上海世博会以“城市，让生活更美好”为主题，充分贯彻绿色、环保、低碳的理念。参展各国和国际组织将充分展示城市文明成果，交流城市建设经验，传播先进城市发展理念，探讨人类居住、生活和工作的新模式。
The Shanghai Expo seeks to embody green, environmentally friendly and low carbon life in the cities.The participating countries and international organizations will fully demonstrate their achievements in urban development and share their experience in municipal management, by promoting new models for human habitation, life and work.--上海世博会是中国与世界的又一次近距离接触，是一次长达184天的文明对话。上海世博会既可以让中国了解世界，更可以让世界了解上海，了解中国。上海作为中国最大的经济中心城市，是中国改革开放32年的缩影，是中国发展的最成功注脚。世博会中国馆“东方之冠”，将展示五千年来薪火相传、生生不息的中华文明。200万城市志愿者，20万世博服务志愿者，将是上海这座城市最好的名片。“世博人家”将是了解中国普通民众、体验上海都市风情的独特窗口。As the largest economic centre in China, Shanghai is an example of successful development following 32 years of reform and opening-up.The Chinese Pavilion Crown of the East showcases 5,000 years of the Chinese civilization.But the two million municipal and 200,000 expo volunteers are without doubt the best advertisement for the city.And Expo Families will provide a unique opportunity for visitors to mingle with the ordinary citizens and appreciate their local culture.中国期待通过世博会，展现一个全面、客观、真实、充满活力的中国，展现一个坚持和平发展、谋求互利共赢、倡导和谐合作的中国。
We hope that the Expo will present to the world a true and objective insight into dynamic China, a China that stands for peaceful development and mutual benefit achieved through cooperation among all nations.--上海世博会是推进中英经贸和科技合作的机遇，是促进中英相互了解、增进两国人民友谊的平台。英国政府和工商界等社会各方面积极参与上海世博会。英国馆名为“创意之馆”，也称 “种子殿堂”，但许多中国人形象地称它为“蒲公英”。英国馆从建筑设计到内部布展，充分显示了非凡的创意和设计，表现了英国对城市的丰富实践和前瞻想象。
The Shanghai Expo provides an opportunity for closer trade and investment ties between China and the UK, along with greater scientific and technological cooperation.The British Pavilion, known as the Pavilion of Creativity, or the Seed Cathedral, has been given the interesting name of Dandelion by Chinese internet users.Both the architectural design and interior decoration of the Pavilion have shown extraordinary creativity and demonstrated Britain's rich experience and vision.英国工商界、文化界、科技界将在世博会期间密集亮相，举办“金融周”、“创意产业系列活动”、“科学和创新系列研讨”等数百项活动。
The British government, business and society at large have taken an active part in the Shanghai Expo.I am also told that there will be more than a hundred events involving British businesses during the Expo, including:---the Financial Week,---Creative Industry series,---And Science and Innovation Workshops, along with a rich variety of cultural and technological shows.在上海居住着一位来自纽卡斯尔的20岁英国姑娘丽贝卡，她去年与美国、德国、加拿大等地的年轻人一起在上海参加了《冲刺，上海！》“真人秀”电视节目，向境外游客和常住上海的外籍人士介绍真实而富有趣味的上海，现在她是上海广播电视台外语频道“乐学中文”节目的主持人。她对上海世博会充满着期待，她说：“在我的家乡，还有很多人从没到过中国，我真希望他们在世博会期间来这里看看。”
Rebecca Miller, a 20-year-old British girl from Newcastle, who now lives in Shanghai and hosts Learning Chinese in Fun on local TV, was full of expectations about the Shanghai Expo.She said, “Many people from my hometown have never been in China.I really hope they will come and see it during the Expo.” 这也是我们的希望和期待。2010年世博会是上海的世博会，是中国的世博会，更是世界的世博会。
This is also what we hope and look forward to.The 2010 Expo is for Shanghai, for China, but more importantly it is an Expo for the world.希望在5月1日到10月31日期间，在场的各位及更多的英国朋友有机会去参观世博会，去领略上海韵，感受中国情，体验世界风！
I hope that between now and the 31 October, you will have the chance to visit the Expo, to get to know Shanghai, get a taste of China and know more about the world.谢谢大家。Thank you.
第五篇：驻英国大使刘晓明在英国中资企业协会新年招待会上的讲话
驻英国大使刘晓明在英国中资企业协会新年招待会上的讲话
2013年1月4日，伦敦海德公园饭店
英国中资企业协会会长杨世成先生，48家集团俱乐部主席佩里先生，伦敦工商会会长斯坦布里奇先生，女士们，先生们：
新年伊始，很高兴出席英国中资企业协会举办的新年招待会，使我有机会同中英两国企业家欢聚一堂，共迎新年。
刚刚过去的2012年，是中英两国企业家值得共同自豪的一年。去年1-11月，据中方统计中英双边贸易增长了7.1%，达到570亿美元。这一成绩的取得来之不易，因为同期中国同欧盟的贸易下降了4.1%，英国是中国在欧盟主要贸易伙伴中唯一出口和进口都实现正增长的国家。特别值得一提的是，中国从英进口前11个月增长了17.8%，增幅在欧盟成员国中居第一位。
刚刚过去的2012年，是中国企业表现突出的一年。中国企业对英投资连出大手笔。根据不完全统计，2012年中国企业通过参股并购在英投资80多亿美元，超过近几年总和。中投公司、光明集团、中石化、中海油、华为，不仅榜上有名，而且成为排头兵。我相信，今后，中英双方在基础设施、油气、核能、海上风电、食品工业、信息技术等领域，还将取得更多突破，开展更多资本、项目合作。
刚刚过去的2012年，也是在英国的中资企业喜事不断的一年。去年，我就参加了农行开业典礼、工行迁址、中国电信在英开展新业务、南航开通直航等多场中资企业活动。我也了解到，华为（英国）公司等中资企业在英签了大合同，将进一步加大在英投资，扩大招收雇员。这表明，中国企业在英国正在不断发展壮大。
随着中英经贸合作的不断发展，有11年历史的英国中资企业协会的队伍也在不断壮大，成员目前已经达到120多家。作为在英中资企业的联盟，我衷心希望协会今后在中英经贸合作中发挥更大更重要的作用。
一是发挥鼓励吸引作用。希望你们多现身说法，向国内企业介绍在英投资、发展的成功经验和秘诀，吸引更多的中国企业“走出来”，开拓英国和欧洲市场，走国际化经营道路。
二是发挥交流促进作用。希望你们不仅成为中资企业之间的交流平台，更能加强与英国行业组织、企业协会的联系，如48家集团俱乐部、英中贸协、伦敦工商会等，经常与他们联合举办一些丰富多彩的活动，使中国企业家更好地了解英国企业家，使中资企业更好地了解英国企业，为两国企业之间合作牵线搭桥。
三是发挥“代言人”作用。中资企业在英发展，需要树立良好的企业形象，这不仅需要每个中资企业自身的努力，也需要中资企业协会成为“集体代言人”，积极主动地向英国各界介绍中国企业，不仅介绍他们吃苦耐劳的创业精神，而且介绍他们注重回馈的社会责任感，同时积极反映中资企业的合理诉求，维护他们的合法权益。
总之，我希望在2013年，英国中资企业协会能继续抓住中英经贸合作不断发展的良好机遇，有针对性地开展工作，创造性地发挥作用，努力促进协会成员的发展壮大，努力促进中英经贸合作的互利共赢。
最后，祝大家蛇年快乐，身体健康，事业发展！
