第一篇:尼克松总统在访华答谢宴上的祝酒词
The Great Wall Is No Longer a Dividing Wall--Toast of President Nixon at a Banquet Honoring the Premier in Peking Great Hall of the People Feb.25, 1972
长城不再是一道隔离墙
——美国总统尼克松在访华答谢宴会上的祝酒词 北京 人民大会堂 1972年2月25日
It is a great privilege that while we are guests in your country to be able to welcome you and the Chinese who are present here as our guests this evening.能有机会在贵国做客期间欢迎阁下和今晚在座的诸位中国客人,我们感到十分荣幸。
On behalf of Mrs.Nixon and all of the members of our official party, I want to express my deep appreciation for the boundless and gracious hospitality which you have extended to us.请允许我代表我的夫人以及同行的全体成员,对你们给予我们无限盛情的款待,表示衷心的感谢。
As you know, it is the custom in our country that the members of the press have the right to speak for themselves and that no one in government can speak for them.But I am sure that all those from the American press who are here tonight will grant me the rare privilege of speaking for the press in extending their appreciation to you and your government for the many courtesies you have extended to them.大家知道,按照我国的习惯,我们的新闻界人士有权代表他们自己讲话,而政府官员是没有代表他们讲话的权利的。但我相信,今晚在座的全体美国新闻界人士都会授予我这一罕有的特权,代表他们感谢阁下和贵国政府给予他们的种种礼遇。
You have made it possible for the story of this historic visit to be read, seen, and heard by more people all over the world than on any previous occasion in history.你们已使全世界空前之多的人们得以读到、看到、听到这一历史性访问的情景。
Yesterday, along with hundreds of millions of viewers on television, we saw what is truly one of the wonders of the world, the Great Wall.As I walked along the Wall, I thought of the sacrifices that went into building it;I thought of what it showed about the determination of the Chinese people to retain their independence throughout their long history;I thought about the fact that the Wall tells us that China has a great history and that the people who built this wonder of the world also have a great future.昨天,我们同几亿电视观众一起参观了名副其实的世界奇迹之———中国长城。当我在城墙上漫步时,我感受到了在建筑这座城墙时所付出的巨大牺牲;我认为它显示了在悠久的人类历史上始终保持独立的中国人民的决心;我想到这样一个事实,那就是,长城告诉我们,中国有伟大的历史,建造这个世界奇迹的人民也会有伟大的未来。
The Great Wall is no longer a wall dividing China from the rest of the world, but it is a reminder of the fact that there are many walls still existing in the world which divide nations and peoples.长城已不再是一道把中国和世界其他地区隔开的城墙。但是,它使人们想起,世界上仍然存在许多把各个国家和人民隔开的城墙。
The Great Wall is also a reminder that for almost a generation there has been a wall between the People‟s Republic of China and the United States of America.长城还使人们想起,在几乎一代人的岁月里,中华人民共和国和美国之间存在着一道城墙。
In these past 4 days we have begun the long process of removing that wall between us.We began our talks recognizing that we have great differences, but we are determined that those differences not prevent us from living together in peace.四天以来,我们已经开始着手拆除横亘在我们之间的这座城墙。在开始会谈时我们就承认彼此之间存在着巨大的分歧,但是我们决心不让这些分歧阻碍我们和平相处。
You believe deeply in your system, and we believe just as deeply in our system.It is not our common beliefs that have brought us together here, but our common interests and our common hopes, the interest that each of us has to maintain our independence and the security of our peoples and the hope that each of us has to build a new world order in which nations and peoples with different systems and different values can live together in peace, respecting one another while disagreeing with one another, letting history rather than the battlefield be the judge of their different ideas.你们深信你们的制度,我们也同样深信我们的制度。我们在这里聚会,并不是由于我们有共同的信仰,而是由于我们有共同的利益和共同的希望,我们每一方都有这样的希望,就是建立一种新的世界秩序,具有不同制度和不同价值标准的国家和人民可以在其中和平相处,互有分歧但互相尊重,让历史而不是让战场对他们的不同思想做出判断。
Mr.Prime Minister, you have noted that the plane which brought us here, is named the Spirit of „76‟.Just this week, we have celebrated in America the birth of George Washington, the Father of our Country, who led America to independence in our Revolution and served as our first President.总理先生,你已注意到送我们到这里来的飞机名为“76年精神号”。就在这个星期,我们美国庆祝了国父乔治·华盛顿的诞辰,是他领导美国人民在革命中取得了独立,并担任了我们的第一届总统。
He bade farewell at the close of his term with these words to his countrymen: “Observe good faith and justice toward all nations.Cultivate peace and harmony with all.”
在他任期届满时,他用下面的话向他的同胞告别:“对一切国家恪守信用和正义。同所有人和平、和睦地相处。”
It is in that spirit, the spirit of „76‟, that I ask you to rise and join me in a toast to Chairman Mao, to Premier Chou, to the people of our two countries, and to the hope of our children that peace and harmony can be the legacy of our generation to theirs.就是本着这种精神——76精神,我请大家站起来同我一起举杯,为毛主席,为周总理,为两国人民,为我们子孙后代的希望,即我们这一代能给他们留下和平与和睦的遗产。干杯!
第二篇:尼克松访华祝酒词
Toast Speech by Richard Nixon 尼克松访华祝酒词
Mr.Prime Minister and all of your distinguished guests this evening:
On behalf of all of your American-guests, I wish to thank you for the incomparably hospitality for which the Chinese people are justly famous throughout the world.I particularly want to pay tribute, not only to those who prepared the magnificent dinner, but also to those who have provided the splendid music.Never have I heard American music played better in a foreign land.Mr.Prime Minister, I wish to thank you for your very gracious and eloquent remarks.At this very moment, through the wonder of telecommunications, more people are seeing and hearing what we say than on any other such occasion in the whole history of the world.Yet, what we say here will not be long remembered.What we do here can change the world.As you said in your toast, the Chinese people are a great people, the American people are a great people.If our two peoples are enemies the future of this world we share, together is dark indeed.But if we can find common ground to work together, the chance for world peace is immeasurably increased.In the spirit of frankness which I hope will characterize our talks this week, let us recognize at the outset these points: We have at times in the past been enemies.We have great differences today.What brings us together is that we have common interests which transcend those differences.As we discuss our differences, neither of us will compromise our principles.But while we cannot close the gulf between us, we can try to bridge it so that we may be able to talk across it.So, let us, in these next five days, start a long march together, not in lockstep, but on different roads leading to the same goal, the goal of building a world structure of peace and justice in which all may stand together with equal dignity and in which each nation, large or small, has a right to determine its own form of government, free of outside interference or domination.The world watches.The world listens.The world waits to see what we will do.What is the world? In a personal sense, I think of my eldest daughter whose birthday is today.As I think of her, I think of all the children in the world, in Asia, in Africa, in Europe, in the Americas, most of whom were born since the date of the foundation of the People's Republic of China.What legacy shall we leave our children? Are they destined to die for the hatreds which have plagued the old world, or are they destined to live because we had the vision to build a new world?
There is no reason for us to be enemies.Neither of us seeks the territory of the other;neither of us seeks domination over the other;neither of us seeks to stretch out our hands and rule the world.Chairman Mao has written, "So many deeds cry out to be done, and always urgently;The world rolls on, Time presses.Ten thousand years are too long, Seize the day, seize the hour!”
This is the hour.This is the day for our two peoples to rise to the heights of greatness which can build a better world.In that spirit, I ask all of you present to join me in raising your glasses to Chairman Mao, to Prime Minister Chou, and to the friendship of the Chinese and American people which can lead to friendship and peace for all people in the world.(A toast given by president Nixon on his first visit to China in 1972)总理先生,在座的各位贵宾:
我谨代表你们的所有美国客人向你们表示感谢,感谢你们的无可比拟的盛情款待。中国人民以这种盛情款待而闻名世界。我不仅要特别赞扬那些准备了这次盛大晚宴的人,而且还要赞扬那些给我们演奏这样美好的音乐的人。我在外国从来没有听到过演奏得这么好的美国音乐。
总理先生,我要感谢你热情洋溢而又令人信服的讲话。就在这个时刻,通过电讯的奇迹,看到和听到我们讲话的人比在整个世界历史上任何其他这样的场合都要多。不过,我在这里讲的话,人们不会长久记住。我们在这里所做的事却能改变世界。
正如你在祝酒时讲的那样,中国人民是伟大的人民,美国人民是伟大的人民。我们两国人民不是敌人,否则我们共同居住的这个世界的前途就的确是黑暗的了。如果我们能够找到进行合作的共同点,那么实现世界和平的机会就无可估量地大大增加。
我希望我们这个星期的会谈将是坦率的。本着这种坦率的精神,我们一开始就认识到这样几点:过去的一些时期我们曾是敌人。今天我们有巨大的分歧.使我们走到一起的,是我们有超过这些分歧的共同利益。在我们讨论我们的分歧的时候,我们哪一方都不会在我们的原则上妥协。但是,虽然我们不能弥合我们之间的鸿沟,我们却能够设法搭一座桥,以便我们能够越过它进行会谈。
因此,让我们在今后的五天里在一起开始一次长征吧,不是在一起迈步,而是在不同的道路上向同一目标前进。这个目标就是建立一个和平和正义的世界结构,在这个世界结构中,所有的人都可以在一起享有同等的尊严;每个国家,不论大小,都有权利决定它自己的政府形式,而不受外来的干涉或统治。全世界在注视着,全世界在倾听着,全世界在等待着看我们将做些什么。这个世界是什么呢?就个人来讲,我想到我的大女儿,因为今天是她的生日。当我想到她的时候,我就想到全世界的儿童。亚洲、非洲、欧洲以及美洲的儿童,他们大多数都是在中华人民共和国成立以后出生的。
我们将给我们的孩子们留下什么遗产呢?他们的命运是要为那些使旧世界受苦受难的仇恨而死去呢,还是他们的命运是由我们有缔造一个新世界的远见而活下去呢?
我们没有理由要成为敌人。我们哪一方都不企图取得对方的领土,我们哪一方都不企图统治对方,我们哪一方都不企图伸出手去统治世界。
毛主席写过:“多少事,从来急;天地转,光阴迫。一万年太久,只争朝夕。”
现在就是只争朝夕的时候了,是我们两国人民攀登那种可以缔造—个新的、更美好的世界的伟大境界的高峰的时候了。
本着这种精神,我请求诸位同我一起举杯,为毛主席,为周总理,为能够导致全世界所有人民的友谊与和平的中国人民和美国人民之间的友谊,干杯。
(美国尼克松总统1972年访华时的一次祝酒词)
第三篇:尼克松总统1972年访华祝酒辞(精选)
总理阁下和今晚所有您尊贵的客人们:
我代表您所有的美国客人,感谢你们无比的热情,中国人民以这种热情闻名于世。我不仅要特别感谢那些准备了这场盛大晚宴的人,还要特别感谢那些演奏优美音乐的人。我从未在异乡听到美国音乐演奏得这么棒。
总理阁下,感谢您热情并有说服力的演讲。在这个特有的时刻,通过远程通信的奇迹,看到和听到我们讲话的人比整个世界历史上任何一个场合的人都要多。但是,我们所说的将不会被长久记住。我们所做的却能改变世界。
正如您在您的祝酒词中所说的,中华民族是一个伟大的民族,美利坚民族也是一个伟大的民族。如果着两个民族成为敌人,我们所共享的这个世界的未来一定是黑暗的。然而如果我们可以找到共同点一起合作,实现世界和平的机会就会无限地增加。
我希望在这周的会谈中,能本着坦诚的精神,让我们首先认识以下几点:在过去一段时间里我们曾是敌人。现在我们也存在巨大的分歧。促使我们一起合作的是超越分歧的共同利益。当我们讨论我们的分歧时,我们都不会在原则上妥协。虽然我们无法减少我们之间的分歧,但是我们可以尽力在分歧上搭建桥梁,这样我们就有可能越过分歧进行会谈。
让我们在接下来的五天一起开始一次长征,不是步伐一致,而是在不同道路上朝着同一个目标,这个目标是构建和平公正的世界。在这个世界中,所有人以同等的尊严站在一起;在这个世界中,每个国家,无论大小,都有权利决定他们自己的政体,不受外界干扰和控制。世界在看。世界在听。世界等着看我们将要做什么。世界是什么呢?个人角度而言,我想到我的大女儿,她的生日在今天。当我想到她,我想到了世界上所有的孩子,在亚洲的,在非洲的,在欧洲的,在美洲的,他们很多都出生在中华人民共和国成立之后。
我们将给我们的孩子留下什么遗产呢?因为仇恨在旧世界作怪,他们就注定要为之牺牲么?或者因为我们有远见去构建新世界,他们就注定要活下去么?
我们没有理由成为敌人。我们都不会抢占对方的领土;我们都不会企图统治对方;我们都不会企图伸手统治世界。
毛主席写过:“多少事,从来急;天地转,光阴追。一万年太久,只争朝夕!”
现在就是只争朝夕的时候。现在就是我们两个民族攀登那种可以建造崭新美好世界的壮举的高峰的时候。
本着这种精神,我请在座各位和我一起为毛主席,为周总理,为可以导致全世界人民友谊和和平的中美之间的友谊,举杯。

周恩来总理在欢迎尼克松总统宴会上的祝酒词
1972年2月22日
总统先生,尼克松夫人,女士们,先生们,同志们,朋友们,Mr President, Ms Nixon, comrades, friends, ladies and gentlemen,首先,我高兴地代表毛泽东主席和中国政府向尼克松总统和夫人,以及其他的美国客人们,表示欢迎。Firstly, I’m glad, on behalf of Chairman Mao and the government of People’s Republic of China
同时,我也想利用这个机会代表中国人民向远在大洋彼岸的美国人民致以亲切的问候。
尼克松总统应中国政府的邀请,前来我国访问,使两国领导人有机会直接会晤,谋求两国关系正常化,并就共同关心的问题交换意见,这是符合中美两国人民愿望的积极行动,这在中美两国关系史上是一个创举。
美国人民是伟大的人民。中国人民是伟大的人民。我们两国人民一向是友好的。
由于大家都知道的原因,两国人民之间的来往中断了二十多年。现在,经过中美双方的共同努力,友好来往的大门终于打开了。目前,促使两国关系正常化,争取和缓紧张局势,已成为中美两国人民强烈的愿望。人民,只有人民,才是创造世界历史的动力。我们相信,我们两国人民这种共同愿望,总有一天是要实现的。
中美两国的社会制度根本不同,在中美两国政府之间存在着巨大的分歧。但是,这种分歧不应当妨碍中美两国在互相尊重主权和领土完整、互不侵犯、互不干涉内政、平等互利和和平共处五项原则的基础上建立正常的国家关系,更不应该导致战争。中国政府早在一九五五年就公开声明,中国人民不要同美国打仗,中国政府愿意坐下来同美国政府谈判,这是我们一贯奉行的方针。我们注意到尼克松总统在来华前的讲话中也谈到,“我们必须做的事情是寻找某种办法使我们可以有分歧而又不成为战争中的敌人”。我们希望,通过双方坦率地交换意见,弄清楚彼此之间的分歧,努力寻找共同点,使我们两国的关系能够有一个新的开始。
最后,我建议:
为尼克松总统和夫人的健康,为其他美国客人们的健康,为在座的所有朋友们和同志们的健康,为中美两国人民之间的友谊,干杯!
Toast given by Premier Zhou Enlaiat the welcoming ceremony for President Nixon
(February 22, 1972)
NOV.28 TH
Mr President, Ms Nixon, comrades, friends, ladies and gentlemen,In the first place, on behalf of Chairman Mao and the government of People’s Republic of China, it’s my pleasure to extend our welcome to Mr President, Ms Nixon, and all the other American guests.At the same time, on behalf of Chinese people, I would like to take this opportunity to express our cordial greetings to the people of United States across the Pacific.That President Nixon accepted the Chinese Government’s invitation to pay a visit to China provides the leaders from both sides with chances to hold direct talks, to collaborate for the normalization of Sino-U.S.relations, and to exchange opinions over the disputes in both concerns.This is a positive act in corresponding to the wishes of both Chinese and American peoples, which marks the history of U.S-China relations as a pioneering work.The American people are a great people.The Chinese people are a great people.The peoples of both sides have long been friends.Due to the reason we all know, peoples in both country have been
suspended from contact for over 20 years.Now, with the joint efforts of both U.S.and China, the door to peoples’ friendship was eventually opened.So far, the peoples of both sides have already longed for the normalization of U.S-China relations and the striving formitigation out of tense.Peoples, and only peoples, can be the engine to create world’s history.We believe that the will of both peoples are destined to be reality one day.The systems of society between China and America are completely different, with huge divergences between the governments of both sides.However, these divergences shall not hinder our relation funding on the basis of the 5 Principles of mutual respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity, non-aggregation, non-interference of each other’s eternal affairs, mutual benefit and peaceful
coexistence.Furthermore, these divergences shall provide with even less possibility of wars.As
whatChinese government openly stated, early in 1955, that it was our doctrine,which had been long conducted, to sit down to talk rather than stand up to fight.We also noticed that the speech delivered by President Nixon ahead of this visit, mentioned that “what we ought to do is to try to make us different though rather than foes in war”.We hope that exchanging of opinions mutually in spirit offrankness, seeking for sharing points out of our divergences cleared by both, would managed to achieve a new outset of U.S-China tie.Lastly, I would like to ask for raising your glasses to the health of President Nixon and Lady Nixon, to the health of all the other guests from America, to the health of all friends and comrades present, and to the friendship between peoples of China and United States of America.
