第一篇:口译训练材料:关于食品安全的对话(带参考译文)
1、近年来,中国食品安全事件频发,食物中甚至出现了墨汁、染料、漂白、石蜡等有毒化学物质。虽然中国并非第一次出现食品安全丑闻,但即便是最见怪不怪的人也会对过去一年曝光的一连串食物中毒事件感到震惊。例如,广东省卫生部门发现17家粉条企业的粉条混有墨汁和石蜡,随即责令这些企业关门。最离奇的是,一些消费者晚上走进自家的厨房时发现从商店买来的猪肉竟然在黑暗中发光。中国与食品安全问题展开斗争已经多年。这个问题在2008年变得非常紧要,当时含有三聚氰胺的牛奶导致至少六名儿童死亡,数万人患病。政府随即采取果断行动,但三聚氰胺最终又再次现身,与其他多种化学物质和违法添加剂一起出现在中国食品供应中,重新激起公众对食品安全问题的担忧,在美国是否也有类似的头疼问题?
2、We have the same issue in America too.In fact, the past few years has seen a drastic rise of food poisoning.We had large scale break out of food poison in 2006, 2008 and most recently in 2009, when salmonella was found in peanuts and pistachios.There are increasing reports of food-borne illness.According to our center for Disease Control, about one quarter of the American population suffers from food poison each year.Despite the governments' attempt at implementing food safety standards, food borne illness has become an increasingly frequent and wide spread problem in the United States.3、确实,食品安全在任何一个国家都是不容小觑的难题。我想,食品安全危机背后最大的一个问题在于某些不法商人受利益的驱使而不择手段地赚钱。一些企业认为,用了添加剂就可以削减经营成本或提高利润率,他们几乎不考虑这些添加剂会对消费者造成何种影响。而实际上,某些食品添加剂对人体有很大的危害,例如,去年长沙市近300人食用含有被禁的瘦肉精添加剂后患病,瘦肉精是政府去年整顿肉类行业行动的主要打击对象,含瘦肉精的猪肉可能更瘦,却也可能引起头痛、恶心、心悸;再比如,含亚硝酸钠的蔬菜可能长得更快,但也可能致癌。不法商贩的这些做法使得市场上的食品质量参差不齐,监管工作也异常困难。
4、Yes, that's the case in China.In our case, however, I think the reasons can be identified from 2 aspects.Firstly, it can be largely contributed to the centralization and industrialization of food production.Just three decades ago, food poisoning occurred mostly in small outbreaks at social events like family reunions, picnics and parties and was caused by improper food handling.Today we're experiencing a whole new breed of food poisoning.It is now possible for thousands of individuals from all corners of the nation to contract identical food-borne disease.For example, most of the beef consumed in the US originates in one of thirteen massive packing houses.The sheer size of these “Food factories” renders them exceptionally conducive for the spread of disease.If a single food animal is infected with a dangerous microorganism, it can contaminate thousands of pounds of meat.5、看来,食品安全问题并不是只有中国才有,美国的食品行业也经历过类似的“成长的烦恼”。但与美国不同的是,中国一大问题是监管食品安全的政府机构过多。卫生部是食品安全问题的主要监管机构,但国家工商行政管理总局、国家食品药品监督管理局和农业部也参与食品安全的监管。机构繁多,体制复杂,就容易形成尾大不掉的局面,在执行食品监管和检测等具体的举措时也容易互相“踢皮球”。美国和中国的另一大差别是行业的规模,中国食品行业中的公司数量给监管带来了更大的障碍。
6、In that aspect, there might be some similarity in the holes of our two countries' food safety net, which is the second main reason for our food safety issue.Our nation's food safety system was created when most foods were grown, prepared and consumed locally, and it needs to be modernized to address the challenges and changes of the globalization of the food supply and rapid distribution chains.As supply chains get longer, there is more opportunity to introduce contaminants that have a public health effect.We're also confronted by many other inadequacies in our system, such as inadequate technologies, inspection practices and inadequate staffing.7、在民意调查中,食品安全一直是中国公众最担忧的问题之一。面对引起公众广泛关注的经常性食品安全问题,中国政府迫切希望表现出对食品供应的保护。在发生了一系列问题食品事件之后,中国政府正努力恢复公众的信心。全国人大常委会通过了新的食品安全法,旨在加强对生产企业的监管,加大对生产问题产品的企业的处罚力度。经过多年的起草和修订后,全国人大常委会通过了这项法律。新法还建立了问题产品召回机制,并批准从允许使用的添加剂到营养成分的标识等各方面执行全国统一标准。我还希望,中美两国能够互相借鉴经验教训,增进在保障食品安全方面的合作。
8、Yes, our government has also been working on improving relevant legislation.Back in January, president Obama has signed a new legislation that gives the federal FDA the authority to impose new rules to prevent contamination, and allows the agency to order, rather than simply suggest the recall of contaminated food.It also authorizes the creation of a food tracing system to quickly pinpoint the source of outbreaks.The legislation requires producers to access ways in which their products could be contaminated and to take steps to prevent such problems.Thus, there will be a fundamental shift in the FDA's approach to food safety, from reacting to food borne illness outbreak to preventing contamination in the first place.译文:
1、In recent years, China witnessed a bunch of food safety crisis.We have even found ink, dye, bleach, wax and other toxic chemicals in food.While China is no stranger to food scandals, a spate of food contamination cases brought to light last year has been shocking even to the most jaded of observers here.For instance, health authorities in the southern province of Guangdong shut down 17 noodle makers after they were discovered mixing ink and wax to their dough.In perhaps the most bizarre case, a number of consumers earlier walked into their kitchens at night to discover their store-bought pork was glowing in the dark.China has struggled with food safety for years.The problem appeared to come to a head in 2008, when milk tainted with the industrial chemical melamine killed at least six children, sickened tens of thousands of others and appeared to shock the government into taking decisive action.But the melamine eventually reappeared in the Chinese food supply, along with a host of other chemicals and illegal additives, reigniting fears and concerns over food safety.Do you have similar problems in the US?
2、在美国我们也面临同样的问题。事实上,过去几年中,我国出现了大量的食物中毒事件。06年,08年都有大规模的食物中毒事件爆发,在最近的09年更有沙门氏菌污染花生酱和开心果的事件。有关食品问题引发各类疾病的报道也层出不穷。根据我们疾病控制中心显示,每年都有约25%的美国公民食品中毒。尽管政府一直在努力执行食品安全标准,但由食品安全问题所引发的疾病传播范围依然在不断扩大,而且比以往更频发。
3、Apparently, food safety is a headache for any country.I think one of the biggest issues is the drive to make a buck at any cost.Some companies see that by using additives, they can cut overhead costs or boost profit margins, and they merely aren't thinking about the affects the additives will have on consumers, though those additives can cause harm on people.For example, nearly 300 people in the city of Changsha were reported sickened after eating meat contaminated with the banned 'skinny meat' additive clenbuterol, the subject of a meat industry crackdown last year.Meat containing clenbuterol may be leaner, but it may also cause headaches, nausea, and heart palpitations.Another example was vegetables with sodium nitrite may grow faster, but they can also cause cancer.Illegal operations by food producers, with a mix of varied qualities of food have made it difficult to supervise the food market.4、是的,在中国确实有这些问题。但是对于美国来说,我想导致视频安全问题的愿意主要有两方面。首先,这可以很大程度上归咎于食品的集中化、工业化生产。三十年前,食物中毒事件主要出现在诸如家庭聚会,野餐以及派对等社交场合,规模较小,而且都是由于食物加工过程处理不当所导致的。而今天,我们所面临的食物中毒是完全不一样的。分布在全国各地的数千公民很可能会感染上同一种与食物有关的疾病。例如,美国市场上的大多数牛肉都是从13个主要的包装仓库来的。这些仓库的巨大规模使得疾病传播的机会大大提高。如果某一头牲畜感染了某种危险的致病菌,就很有可能污染上千镑的肉制品。
5、So struggles with food safety are not a specifically Chinese problem.The U.S.has gone through similar growing pains in the food industry.But unlike the US, one issue in China is that there are too many cooks in the kitchen--or rather too many bureaucracies handling food safety.The Ministry of Health is the lead agency on food safety issues, but the State Administration for Industry and Commerce is also involved, as are the State Food and Drug Administration and the Ministry of Agriculture.The bureaucratic system is too big to function, and they may blame each other when it comes to food safety inspection and supervision.Another big difference between the U.S.and China is size.The quantity of companies involved in China's food industry has made for tougher regulatory obstacles.6、从这个角度说,中美两国在食品安全制度上也许存在类似的缺陷,这正是我接下来要提到的第二个原因。我们国家的食品安全系统还是在食品只在地区范围内生产销售的时期创立的,因此需要及时更新才能应对食品供应销售全球化所带来的挑战和变化。随着供应链的增长,一些能够导致公众健康问题的污染物能介入的机会也就增多了。同时,加上我们又面临着很多体制上的不足,如技术不足,检测不足,人员不足等等,更加剧了食品安全问题的风险。
7、Food safety consistently ranks among the top concerns of Chinese citizens in opinion polls.The government is eager to be seen as protecting the food supply, in the face of regular and well-publicized problems.Chinese lawmakers passed new food-safety legislation meant to tighten supervision of manufacturers and impose tougher penalties on those who make bad products as the government seeks to restore public confidence after a spate of problems with tainted food.The new law, approved by the standing committee of the National People's Congress after years of drafting and revision, also sets up a system to recall problem products and authorizes the enforcement of uniform nationwide standards for everything from allowable additives to nutritional labeling.I also hope that we can learn from each other and make more cooperation in safeguarding the food in our two countries.8、我同意。美国政府也一直致力于完善相关的立法规定。去年11月,奥巴马总统签署了一项允许食品药品监督管理局施行新规定以保障食品安全的立法,立法规定,食品药品监督局不仅有权建议召回有毒食品,更有进一步的权利直接施行召回。此项立法要求生产商介入其产品可能受到污染的环节并采取措施预防此类问题。因此,在未来,食品药品监督局在处理食品安全问题上将有一个新的转变,那就是从被动应对食品安全突发事件到从源头主动防止食品污染。
第二篇:会议口译原文及译文
英译汉原文及参考译文
In the space of a single generation, relations between the United Kingdom and the People’s Republic of China have been transformed.Government-to-government and business-to-business links are closer and more varied than ever before.//
But the most exciting changes have been in the links between the British and Chinese peoples.Chinese communities have long existed as a respected and cherished presence in British cities.//
But today, more and more British people are visiting China to see for themselves the new dynamism of great cites like Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou.We are re-discovering China’s incomparably rich cultural heritage, as well as its immense economic potential.//
The Chinese are re-discovering Britain, too.We are
delighted to welcome more Chinese visitors to our country each year.Many more Chinese are finding out about Britain through modern media like television and the Internet.//
Indeed, there are more Chinese people learning the English language than there are native speakers of English in the world today.This growing relationship is measurable, too, in financial terms.British firms now have a huge presence in China, a sign of their confidence in the country and its future.//
The UK is the largest European investor, and a British company, BP, is investing more capital in China than any other foreign firm.The largest foreign manufacturing investment in Western China is also British.//
The UK is China’s second largest European trading partner.British exports to China last year, at £3.72 billion were up 17% on the year 2000.China’s exports to Britain are at an all-time high.Many Chinese enterprises now regard Britain’s flexible and open economy has an ideal launching pad into the wider European market.//
All this is a far cry from 1972, when the UK and the PRC– 1 在短短一代人的时间内,英国和中华人民共和国之间的关系已经发生了彻底的变化。政府之间、商界之间的关系从未像如今这样紧密、多样。// 但是,最令人兴奋的变化当属英中两国人民之间的联系。华人社区在英国城市中长久以来都受到尊重和珍视。// 但是今天,越来越多的英国人访问中国,亲眼目睹像北京、上海、广州这样的大城市的新活力。我们正在重新发现中国无与伦比、丰富多彩的文化遗产以及她巨大的经济潜力。// 中国人也正在重新发现英国。我们每年都很高兴地欢迎越来越多的中国客人来访。通过电视和因特网这样的现代媒体了解英国的中国人大大增加。// 毫不夸张地说,当今世界上学习英语的中国人已经超过了以英语为母语的人了。这种关系的发展也可以从经济角度来衡量。英国公司现在在中国有很大的规模。这表明他们对中国及其未来的信心。// 英国是欧洲在华的最大投资国。英国的BP公司在中国的投资超过了其他任何一家外国公司。中国西部最大的外国制造业投资也来自英国。// 英国是中国在欧洲的第二大贸易伙伴。去年英国对华出口额达37.2亿英镑,比前年增长17%。中国对英国的出口达创纪录水平。许多中国企业现在把英国灵活、开放的经济看作进军更大的欧洲市场的理想跳板。// 这一切与1972年英中两国首次互换大使时的情景大不相同。当时,英国
first exchanged ambassadors.Then, there were virtually no Chinese students in Britain.Today, there are over 20,000 – one of the largest overseas communities at our universities.//
几乎没有中国学生,而今天有两万多,是英国大学中人数最多的海外群体。//
1972年,北京和伦敦之间没有直接通
Then, there were no direct air services between Beijing 航。而今年,将有25万多名英国游and London.This year, more than a quarter of a million 客前往中国。1972年,在位英国首相British tourists will travel to China.Then, no serving British 或外交大臣中没有人访问中国。而去Prime Minister or Foreign Secretary had ever visited China.Last year, there were visits from 11 British
ministers.//
The changing nature of international relations requires governments to work ever more closely together for their mutual benefit.In the globalized world economy, the security and prosperity of individual countries often
depends on events beyond our borders.//
We are interdependent as well as independent.Challenges such as fighting environmental damage, ensuring global human rights are properly observed, removing barriers to trade and investment, and reducing
poverty, have become truly global issues.//
They loom larger on the agendas of multilateral organizations like the UN, the WTO and ASEM.In the 21st century, bilateral relations between countries will depend on progress on issues like these.//
As two of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council, our governments work together on a daily basis on problems affecting every corner of the world.Another change in the relationship between Britain and China has been developments in Hong Kong.I am delighted that Hong Kong has prospered since 1997, and that “One Country, Two Systems” is proving such an effective approach.//
As a signatory of the Joint Declaration, the UK has an abiding interest in the continued well-being of the Special Administrative Region.But this is only a part of our wider commitment to China.We are increasing the resources we allocate through our Department for International Development to poverty reduction in China from £25 million this year to £60 million by 2004.年,英国有11位大臣到访中国。// 国际事务性质的变化,要求政府之间出于相互利益而更加紧密地合作。在全球化的经济中,每个国家的安全和繁荣经常受制于国界之外发生的事件。// 我们既相互独立,又相互依赖。对付环境破坏,确保全球人权得到应有的尊重,撤除贸易和投资障碍,减少贫困,这些挑战都已经成为名副其实的全球问题。// 在联合国、世界贸易组织和亚欧会议这样的多边组织的日程上面,这些问
题显得越来越严重。在21世纪,国家之间的双边关系将取决于在这些问题上取得的进展。// 作为联合国安理会五大常任理事国
中的两国,我们双方政府每天都在相互合作,处理影响到世界各地的问题。英中两国关系的另一变化是香港问题的发展。令我感到高兴的是,香港自1997年回归以来,继续保持繁荣,这证明了“一国两制”是非常有效的办法。// 作为《联合声明》的签约国,英国对
香港特别行政区保持良好状况各与长期的关注。但这只是我们对中国更广泛承诺的一部分。我们通过国际发展部,把用于中国扶贫项目的拨款资金从今年的2500万英镑,增加到2004年的6000万英镑。
汉译英原文及参考译文
主席先生:今年,对于中国来说,Mr.President, For China, this has been a special year.We 是不平凡的一年。我们经历了两件大事:第一件事是汶川特大地震灾害造成了巨大的生命财产损失。中国人民在灾难面前表现了坚强、勇敢、团结和不屈不挠的精神。目前,受灾群众得到了妥善安置,恢复重建工作正在有条不紊地展开。//
第二件事是北京奥运会成功举办。这一体育盛会不仅为来自世界各地的运动员展示风采创造了良好的条件,而且让世界更多地了解中国,让中国更多地了解世界。//
在抗震救灾和举办奥运会的过程中,我们得到了国际社会的广泛理解、支持和帮助。在此,我代表中国政府和人民表示诚挚的感谢。//
世界都在关注北京奥运会后中国政治经济走向。我可以明确地告诉大家,中国将继续坚定不移地走和平发展道路,继续坚持改革开放不动摇,继续贯彻独立自主的和平外交政策。这符合中国人民的根本利益,也符合世界人民的根本利益,顺应世界潮流。// 这次北京奥运会是在中国这样一个最大的发展中国家举行的。国际社会对中国政府和人民为此做出的努力给予了高度评价。奥运会的成功举办,使中国人民受到了极大的鼓舞,增强了实现现代化的信心和力量。//
同时,我们清醒地看到,中国有13亿人口,虽然经济总量已经位experienced two major events.One was the devastating earthquake in Wenchuan, which caused grave losses of life and property.In the face of the disaster, the Chinese people showed great strength, courage, solidarity and resilience.By now, the people affected by the earthquake have been properly relocated and recovery and reconstruction work is well underway.//
The other was the successful hosting of the Beijing Olympic Games.This grand sporting event provided a good
opportunity for athletes from around the world to show true sportsmanship.It also enabled the world to learn more about China and China more about the world.//
In our fight against the earthquake disaster and our efforts to host the Games, we received understanding, support and assistance from the international community.I wish to take this opportunity to express sincere gratitude on behalf of the Chinese Government and people.//
Now the whole world wants to know in what direction China is heading, both politically and economically, after the Beijing Olympic Games.Let me tell you in unequivocal terms that China will remain committed to the path of peaceful
development, unswervingly pursuer reform and opening-up, and continue to adhere to an independent foreign policy of peace.This is in the fundamental interests of the Chinese people and the people of all other countries.It is also in keeping with the trend of the world.//
The just concluded Olympic Games was held in China, the largest developing country in the world.The international community has highly commended the efforts made by the Chinese Government and people for the Games.And its success has greatly inspired the Chinese people and given them even more confidence and strength to achieve modernization of the country.//
At the same time, however, we are soberly aware that China is
a country with 1.3 billion people.Though its total GDP is one of the highest in the world, it trails behind more than 100
居世界前列,但人均收入水平仍排在世界100位之后,城乡发展和区域发展很不平衡,农村特别是西部地区农村还很落后,还有数以千万计的人口没有解决温饱。//
中国仍然是一个发展中国家,生产力不发达的状况没有根本改变,进一步发展还受到资源、能源、环境等瓶颈的制约。中国的社会主义市场经济体制还不完善,民主法制还不健全,一些社会问题还比较突出。// 中国实现现代化的任务还很繁重,道路还很漫长。摆在我们面前的机遇和挑战都是空前的。抓住机遇,迎接挑战,聚精会神搞建设,一心一意谋发展,这就是中国政府和中国人民的理念和行动。//
中国发展靠什么?靠改革开放。今年是中国改革开放30周年。今天,中国人更从30年改革开放的切身经验中体会到,只有全面而持久地扩大对外开放,才是国家富强和民族繁荣的正确道路。这不但是实践探索的结论,也是历史经验的总结。//
主席先生:世界需要和平,和平才能发展。中国要实现自己的发展目标,渴望有一个和平的国际环境。中国政府坚定不移地奉行独立自主的和平外交政策,愿同各国加强合作,共同促进人类和平与发展的崇高事业。
countries in terms of per capita income.Development between urban and rural areas and among different regions in China is unbalanced.The rural areas, particularly those in western China, are underdeveloped.Tens of millions of Chinese lack adequate food and clothing.//
China is still a developing country, where productivity remains low and further development is constrained by the shortage of resources and energy and environmental consequences.Our socialist market economic system, democracy and the rule of law need to be further improved, and certain outstanding social issues are yet to be resolved.//
To achieve China’s modernization is a daunting task and we still have a long way to go.Both the opportunities and
challenges that we face are unprecedented.We will seize the opportunities, rise up to challenges, dedicate ourselves to nation-building and focus on development.This is what the Chinese Government and people have been thinking and doing.//
People may ask: How does China achieve its development? The answer is through reform and opening-up.This year
marks the 30th anniversary of China’s reform and opening-up policy.The Chinese people have learned from 30 years of reform and opening-up that only continued opening-up in an all-round way can lead the country to greater national strength and prosperity.This is the conclusion we have drawn both from our practice and exploration and from historical experiences.// Mr.President, The world needs peace, for only with peace can
there be development.China earnestly hopes to have a peaceful international environment in order to achieve its
development goals.The Chinese Government is committed to an independent foreign policy of peace and stands ready to work with other countries to advance the noble cause of peace and progress of mankind.

英国女王2009 圣诞致词
过去每年似乎都各具特点。一些年份让我们心满意足,一些年份则最好忘却。2009年对很多人来说都是艰难的一年,尤其是那些深受经济衰退之苦的人们。
我相信,我们所有人都受到阿富汗战事影响,为英军士兵伤亡感到悲伤。我们向这些士兵的家人和朋友表示慰问,他们面对巨大个人损失表现得无比高尚。
但我们应该为我们的士兵与盟友一道作出的积极贡献而感到骄傲。英国和包括加拿大、澳大利亚、新西兰和新加坡在内的英联邦国家眼下共有超过1.3 万名士兵在阿富汗服役。我们对这些年轻士兵以及先前在阿富汗服役过的士兵表示深深感激。
今年是英联邦成立60 周年,今天其成员国25 岁以下人口超过10 亿,为它保持长久的强大和实力提供了力量源泉。
最近我刚刚参加了在特立尼达和多巴哥举行的英联邦政府首脑会议,听到联邦对年轻人是多么重要。新的通讯技术使他们能够接触到更广阔的世界,分享他们的经验和观点。对于许多人来说,英联邦的实际援助与网络可以提供技能,给予意见和鼓励进取。
令人鼓舞的是,我了解到一些年轻人正在做着一些事情,他们面对挑战,富于创造力和创新精神。
对关系到我们所有人的问题保持讨论很重要,它让我们的大家庭产生更大的价值。在英联邦成立以来的大部分时间里,我都同它联系紧密。
我珍视同各国领袖、人民之间在个人和生活上的紧密联系,这不单是象征意义上的,也能促进我们的团结。
英联邦并非只是一个具有某种使命的组织,更是一个让各国人民合作、解决实际困难的平台。在涉及我们生活的许多方面,不论是体育、环境、商业或文化,英联邦国家之间的联系生动活泼而且丰富多彩。在很多方面这展现未来的前景。随着不断的支持和贡献,我相信多元化的英联邦国家之间能加强超越政治、宗教、种族和经济环境的凝聚力。
众所周知,圣诞节是欢庆与家人团聚的时候,但我们也可以借这个时机反思那些国内外不幸者面临的困境。
基督徒接受的教义是要爱他们的邻居,有同情心,乐于慈善和志愿工作,以减轻贫困和弱势者的负担。
我们自己会面临一连串的困难和挑战,这些困难和挑战会令我们感到困惑,但我们绝不能停下脚步,而应该继续努力,为自己和他人创造更美好的未来。
不论你们现时身在何处,我都祝愿你们圣诞快乐!
美国第一夫人米歇尔· 奥巴马在英国伦敦伊斯灵顿伊丽莎白· 安德森女校的演(节选)
这是我的第一次出访,作为第一夫人的第一次外事出访。你们能相信吗?虽然这不是我第一次来英国,但我得说很高兴我的首次官方访问是来英国。美国和英国之间的特殊关系,不只是基于政府间的关系,还基于我们有共同的语言和价值观。看见你们大家就使我想到这一点。在访问期间我特别荣幸地会见了英国一些最出色的女性,她们在为你们所有女孩子铺路。
我也很荣幸见到你们这些英国和世界未来的领导者,尽管我们的生活背景好像相差很远,我是作为美国第一夫人站在这里,而你们还正在上学。
但我想让你们了解我们其实有很多共同之处。因为在我生命历程中没有任何东西曾经预示我会作为美利坚合众国的第一位非洲裔第一夫人站在这里。我的资历里没有什么东西能使我站在这个位置上。我不是被财富和资源养大的,也谈不上有什么社会地位。我生长在芝加哥市的南部,那个地方是真正的芝加哥。我出身于工人阶级。父亲一辈子是个市政工人,母亲是个家庭妇女。她待在家里照顾我和我哥哥。我父母都没上过大学。我爸爸正值壮年的时候被诊断患有多种硬化症。但就在他难以行走,而且早上难以穿衣的时候——我看着他挣扎得越来越厉害——我父亲却从来没有抱怨过他的困难。他对于自己拥有的一切心存感激。他只是起得更早一点,工作得更努力一点。哥哥和我在成长过程中得到了人生真正需要的一切:爱,强有力的价值观:以及一个信念:就是靠着良好的教育,还有大量的辛勤工作,没有什么是我们做不到的。
我个人的例子表明女孩子能创造奇迹,只要她们从生命最开始的时候,就受到周围人的爱护和教养。非凡的女性围绕着我的生活:祖母,老师,姨妈,表姐妹,邻居,她们教会我沉默的力量和尊严。还有我母亲,她是我生命中最重要的榜样,她和我们住在白宫帮着照顾我们的两个小女儿,玛丽娅和萨莎。她在孩子们和我的生活中都很活跃,并正在给她们灌输那些她曾教给我和我哥哥的价值观:同情心、正直、自信和坚定。所有这些都包含在无条件的爱之中,那是只有一个祖母才能给予的爱。
我也很幸运地从一些男性榜样那里得到珍爱和鼓励,包括我父亲、哥哥、叔伯和祖父。我生命中的男人们也教会我一些重要的东西。他们教会我互相尊重的男女关系应该是什么样子的。拥有一个牢固的婚姻是什么感觉:那是建立在信念和承诺之上,以及对彼此独特天赋的赞赏。他们教我怎样为人父母、养育家人;不仅要关注自己的家庭也要伸手去帮助养育更广泛的社区里的孩子。
我也在自己的丈夫身上寻找到同样的品质,他就是巴拉克· 奥巴马。在我们最初相识的时候,我记得,他带我出去约会,而约会内容是和他一起去开一个社区会议。是啊,够浪漫的吧。我们相识的时候,巴拉克是一个社区组织者。他的工作是帮助人家找工作,以及努力把资源带给有困难的邻里。当他同那个社区中心里的居民交谈的时候他谈到两个概念:“现实世界”和“理想世界”。我在竞选的整个过程中也谈到这些。他说,我们常常接受了这两种观念之间的差距;有的时侯我们满足于现实世界,即使它没有反映我们的价值观和愿望。但是那天巴拉克提醒了我们,包括在那间屋子里的所有人,我们都知道世界应该是什么样子的。我们都知道公平、正义和机会是什么样子的,我们全都知道。他敦促到会的人们,那个社区里的人们,使他们献身于缩小那两种观念之间的差距,一起努力把现实世界变成和理想世界一样。
我今天想起这些是因为我确信,在这所学校里,你们所有人都是缩小这差距非常重要的因素。你们是要建立理想世界的女性。你们将写出历史的下一个篇章,不只是为你们自己,而且是为你们这一代人以及未来的几代人。这就是为什么得到良好的教育是这么的重要。这就是为什么你们正在这经历的所有这一切—— 一切的成功与失败,所有的老师,无论你喜欢与否——都很重要,因为社区和国家,还有归根结底这个世界,它们的强大取决于其中女性的健康。记住这一点很重要。
我们知道你们能做到。我们爱你们。谢谢大家。
在“2009 金融与重庆可持续发展研讨会”上的开幕致词
伦敦金融城市长陆毅安先生
尊敬的副市长先生,总领事先生,女生们、先生们:
今天很高兴跟各位一道启动“2009 金融与重庆可持续发展研讨会”。非常感谢重庆市金融办和诺实公司的曹平先生对本次研讨会的赞助!几周前,我与全国人大外事委员会的几位委员进行了会晤,并聆听了全国人大环资委的资深委员杨庚宇先生讲述中国正在采取的节能减排措施。在实现可持续的低碳复苏方面,我们一致认为经济滑坡给了我们大家投资绿色技术并出台相应政策的机会,同时,我还要指出,这次机遇也肯定会给中国和英国创造大量的就业。
将这一切变为现实的诸多政策已经到位。这些政策包括:
●“英中可持续城市行动计划”,该计划是去年温家宝总理访问英国的时候签订的; ● 2009 年英中峰会达成的在气候变化、低碳示范区和气候变化技术转让方面的协议; ● 中国“十二五”规划中的环境目标;
● 最近英国政府和重庆市政府签署的备忘录;
● 同时,英国政府还致力于跟中国政府紧密合作,解决任何突出的知识产权问题。
因此,我们非常希望利用这个契机让重庆成为21 世纪世界版图上致力于环保的中心城市。我们知道,一个重视提高能效和推广可再生技术的绿色财政刺激方案,在全球愈发认识到我们必须走向绿色的时候,肯定能有效地推动就业、刺激经济,并带来竞争优势。正如英国外务大臣几周前指出的一样:“绿色不再是议事日程上的一项议题,它就是整个议程。” 虽然接下来要采取的措施需要这次研讨会讨论决定,但这里我想说,英国非常愿意尽可能地为重庆提供必要的融资和技术上的支持,并且已经在这么做了。渣打银行与亚洲开发银行的能效提升计划就是诸多例子之一。
另一个案例则是诺实公司力推的极富想象力的“两河技术产业园”项目。根据其企划案,该项目在吸引高科技企业入园的同时,将帮助重庆实现在最近双方签署的“重庆-英国可持续城市备忘录”中提出的城乡协调发展的目标。
当然,“两河技术产业园”项目还需要重庆市政府的最终批准,而且,我们很高兴看到该项目迅速得到了重视。这是好消息!
女士们,先生们,我们任重而道远!双方的良好意愿已经以备忘录和政策的形式得以体现,现在需要的就是具体落实!谢谢大家!
斐济总理沃雷恩盖· 姆拜尼马拉马上海世博会电视致词 致2010 年中国上海世博会:
很高兴斐济可以和其他太平洋国家一同参加2010 年上海世博会。2010 年上海世界贸易博览会是一个极好的机会,它将227 个参加这次世界文化盛会的国家聚集在一起,探索并分享各国的宝贵创新与经验。毫无疑问,今天世界正见证着一个巨大的成功,一个至少会吸引全球七千多万访客的盛大博览活动,一个以视觉、嗅觉、味觉、听觉、感觉来呈现各国文化魅力的展示平台。
此次博览会首次由一个发展中国家举办,而且规模如此宏大,体现了中国政府在筹备组织的带领指导下,奉献、担当与勤勉的精神。在此,我谨代表斐济,向为此次盛会成功筹备和举办而付出了不懈努力的中华人民共和国表示感谢与祝贺,代表我们代表团,向中国政府世博会的主办机构及辛勤努力的工作人员,表示最诚挚的感谢,感谢你们的帮助和奉献。我要祝贺你们团队,并保证太平洋国家馆将会尽展我们的祝愿和我们这个地区的独特之处,而斐济展台更将是一份独特的体验。我还想感谢中国主办机构提供的财政帮助。
这是一个让世界了解中国的有利时机,是发展并加强与各参展国之间合作关系的绝佳契机,斐济非常荣幸可以成为其中的一员。
这次博览会为我们提供的跨文化对话的创新和互动,集中体现了今年的主题“城市,让生活更美好”。这一主题体现了我们要改善身处其中的社会环境的追求,而科学技术的发展以及此次博览会的质量则反映了这一主题,并且提醒我们在提供人类基本需求的同时还应改善和丰富城市人民的生活。
能够参加2010 年上海世博会是斐济以及其他太平洋岛国的骄傲,我们觉得我们也为此次博览会的成功作出了贡献。我相信2010 上海世博会必将长久地留存于我们的记忆。
预祝博览会圆满成功,谢谢你们。奥巴马总统在欢迎胡锦涛主席访美仪式上的致词
各位早上好!胡主席、中国代表团的各位成员:我谨代表米歇尔,并以我个人的名义,欢迎你们光临白宫。我还要代表美国人民,欢迎你们访问美国。年前,也是在一月的一天,另外一位美国总统曾经站在这里,欢迎另外一位中国领导共同庆祝美国和中华人民共和国关系正常化这一历史事件。那一天,邓小平在讲话中谈到了我们两国展开合作的伟大前景。
如今回首1979 年的那个冬日,就可以明显地看出,在那之前的30 年里,我们两国彼此隔绝疏远;而其后的30 年,是我们不断交流和理解增长的年代;这次访问可以为今后30年打下基础。
当前,有些人对美中合作所带来的好处持怀疑态度,而这次访问也是展示一个简单真理的时机,那就是,对方的成功,对我们本方的利益是事关重大的。在一个相互关联的世界里,在全球经济中,各个国家,包括我们两国在内,齐心协力就会更加繁荣、更加安全。
美国欢迎中国作为国际社会强大、繁荣和成功的一员而崛起。的确,中国的成功给我们两国人民都带来了经济实惠,而我们在一系列问题上的合作也推进了亚太地区乃至世界的稳定。
我们也知道这一点:历史表明,当所有国家和人民的权利和责任,包括每一个人所享有的普世的权利得到维护时,社会就会更加和谐,国家就会更加成功,世界就会更加公正。
主席先生,我们可以向我们的人民学习,中国和美国的学生和教育家、企业界人士、游客、研究人员和科学家,包括今天在场的华裔美国人,每天都在并肩合作,共同努力。
他们知道,即使我们两国在某些领域彼此竞争,我们还可以在许多其他领域本着相互尊重的精神,为了我们共同的利益进行合作。
邓小平先生多年前说过的话仍然符合实际,我们两国合作的可能性依然十分广阔。胡主席,中国代表团的成员,让我们共同抓住这些可能性吧。欢迎来到美利坚合众国。欢迎!

Yongqing, Distinguished guests, friends, Ladies and gentlemen, On the eve of the 10th anniversary of the Macao Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China, I am honoured to welcome again our leader President Hu Jintao to Macao and join us here tonight.First of all, on behalf of the Government and the citizens of the Macao Special Administrative Region, I would like to extend our warmest welcome and highest respect to President Hu and Madame Liu, as well as all leaders from the Central Government’s delegation.At the same time, let me extend our cordial greetings and heartfelt gratitude to all guests and friends present.In the past ten years, under the leadership and support of the Central Government, and with the coordinated efforts of our citizens, the Macao SAR Government rigorously upheld the Basic Law of Macao in the course of our governance, and was fully committed to the implementation of the principle of “one country, two systems”.Today, the stability of our society in Macao is ensured.Overall strength of our city is raised.The livelihood of our residents continues to improve.The building of our institution is gradually enhanced.The tradition of patriotism is passed on through generations.The successful implementation of “one country, two systems”, “Macao people governing Macao” and a high degree of autonomy has achieved early results.This has demonstrated the objective correctness and ample vitality of these principles.Dear guests, ladies and gentlemen, On the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the Macao Special Administrative Region, we deeply feel the wisdom and bold vision of Mr.Deng Xiaoping who founded the great cause of “one country, two systems”.We also remember the encouragement entrusted to us by President Jiang Zemin on the first anniversary of Macao’s return to our Motherland.We will also never forget the arrival to Macao of President Hu Jintao on the fifth anniversary of the Macao SAR and his important four-point suggestion which has been giving us fundamental guidance.The ten-year course of development of the Macao SAR vividly shows that the successful implementation of “one country, two systems” in Macao relies on the unswerving concern and support from the Central Government and people all over the country.Here, I would like to extend our profound appreciation to President Hu Jintao, the Central Government and all Chinese people.I would also like to take this opportunity to thank President Hu and the Central Government for the trust and support bestowed on me.At the same time, allow me to extend my heartfelt gratitude to all citizens and civil servants in Macao for their understanding and support.The history of the Macao SAR will turn a new page tomorrow.I truly believe that under the leadership and support of the Central Government, our third term Chief Executive, Mr.Chui Sai On, will lead the new administration and the people in Macao to uphold the Basic Law and strive in unity in order to create a new wave of prosperity and harmony in Macao, and to bring the successful implementation of “one country, two systems” to the next new level.Ladies and gentlemen, May I now propose a toast, to the health of President Hu and Madame Liu, to the health of all guests and friends, to the prosperity of our motherland and the bright future of Macao.Cheers!President Xie Heping’s

would like to extend our most sincere gratitude and warmest welcome to Prime Minister Aziz and the other distinguished guests presenting here.Mr.Shaukat Aziz is a legend in both political and financial circles.He spent over 30 years in banking and finance in a number of countries including Jordan, the Phillipines, Malaysia, the United States and the UK.Since 1992 he served as Vice President of Citibank of America for 7 years.He was appointed as Pakistan’s Minister of Finance and in 2004, he became the Prime Minister of Pakistan.His rich experience and great wisdom in handling complicated problems have played a critical and profound role in promoting Pakistan’s social and economic development.During his tenure of office, Pakistan has enjoyed basic social stability.Pakistan’s industrial growth soared from 3.8 percent in 2001 to 14 percent in 2004.With an unprecedented annual economic growth rate of 8.4 percent, Pakistan ranks second in Asia, next only to China.With the new strategy of “open and moderate development” implemented in recent years, the Pakistani government has also made significant contributions to the international anti-terrorist campaign, world peace and stability and regional economic advancement.China-Pakistan friendship dates far back and runs a long course.The two countries have been treating each other with all sincerity and cooperating in a mutually beneficial manner, and this has set a good example to the state-to-state relations in the world.We are proud of our friendship, and cherish every moment of the communication and cooperation between the two countries.I believe Mr.Aziz’s speech today will open our eyes and broaden our minds, and will be of great significance to promoting our opening-up and regional social and economic cooperation.Now ladies and gentlemen, please join me in welcoming our honorable guest, His Excellency Prime Minister Aziz.Remarks by President HuJintao at the White House at the Official Arrival Ceremony Mr.President, Mrs.Obama, ladies and gentlemen, dear friends, it gives me great pleasure to come to Washington and pay a state visit to the United States at the beginning of the new year, at the invitation of President Obama.At this point in time, let me extend, on behalf of the 1.3 billion Chinese people, sincere greetings and best wishes to the people of the United States.I have come to the United States to increase mutual trust, enhance friendship, deepen cooperation, and push forward the positive, cooperative, and comprehensive China-U.S.relationship for the 21st century.Over the past 32 years, since the establishment of diplomatic ties, the China-U.S.relationship has grown into one with strategic significance and global influence.Since President Obama took office, with concerted efforts of the two sides, our cooperation in various fields has produced fruitful results and our relations have achieved new progress.This has brought real benefits to our two peoples, and contributed greatly to world peace and development.As we enter the second decade of the 21st century, the people of both China and the United States want to see further progress in our relations and people around the globe want to see greater prosperity in the world.Under the new circumstances, and in the face of new challenges, China and the United States share broad common interests and important common responsibilities.We should adopt a long-term perspective, seek common ground while resolving differences, and work together to achieve sustained, sound, and steady development of our relations.I hope that through this visit, our two countries will advance the positive, cooperative, and comprehensive relationship, and open a new chapter in our cooperation as partners.Ladies and gentlemen, our world today is undergoing major development, major changes and major adjustments.To pursue peace, development and cooperation is the irresistible trend of our time.Let us seize the opportunity to forge ahead, hand in hand, and work together to enhance cooperation as partners, and let us work with all other countries to build a harmonious world of lasting peace and common prosperity.Thank you once again, Mr.President, for your warm welcome.
第五篇:口译礼仪祝词E-C 译文
市长先生阁下,中国朋友们,女士们先生们:
Your Honor Mr.Mayor, My Chinese friends, Ladies and Gentlemen,这是我首次访问你们这座美丽的城市,我为此深感荣幸。
I feel honored to come here on my first visit to your beautiful city.我愿借此机会,代表我们代表团的全体成员,向我们东道主的诚挚邀请,对我们一踏上这块充满魅力的土地便受到的友好款待,向东道主表示真诚的感谢。
On behalf of all the members of my mission(使团、代表团), I would like to take this opportunity to express our sincere thanks to our host for their earnest invitation and gracious hospitality we have received since we set foot on this charming land.与此同时,我很高兴这次访问给予我一次极好的机会,向市长先生和上海人民转达我国政府和人民的 热烈问候和诚挚的良好祝愿。
I am also very happy that this visit has given me an excellent opportunity to convey to you and to the people of Shanghai warm greetings and sincere good wishes of the government and people of my country
虽然我们远隔万里,但贵国唐朝的一位诗人说得好,“海内存知己,天涯若比邻。”
Although we live with a distance of thousands of miles between us, “Long distance separates no bosom friends,” as one of your Tang poets said.整个世界都在以极大的兴趣注视着中国正在发生的巨大变化,尤其是注视着上海这座蓬勃向上的特大型城市所发生的巨大变化。令人惊讶的是,25年来中国经济强劲持续增长,没有哪一个国家可以与其媲美。
The whole world is watching with great interest the remarkable changes that are taking in China, particularly in Shanghai, a thriving and robust megalopolis(大城市、大都会,近义词:metropolis).To our great amazement, this country boasts a two-and-half-decade persistent economic growth, which is unequalled elsewhere in the world.中国奇迹般地迅速崛起为亚太地区最具有实力的经济强国之一,吸引了并将继续吸引我国越来越多的商业、制造业和金融业的巨头来华投资,尤其是在上海及其周边地区的许多长期项目上投资。
China’s miraculous rise as one of the strongest economic powers in the Asian-Pacific region(亚太地区)has attracted, and will continue to attract, a growing number of business, manufacturing and financial giants in our country to invest in China, particularly to invest in a number of long-term projects in Shanghai and its surrounding areas.在过去的10年里,没有任何一个地方像浦东那样对我国商业界产生了如此之大的吸引力。
Over the last decade, there has never been any place other than Pudong that holds so much attraction for our people in the business community(商业界,商界).正是基于对这一状况的认识,我们来到上海寻求进一步发展我们在经济和金融方面进行合作的更好的途径。It is with this awareness that we have come here to seek better ways of promoting our economic and financial cooperation.我此行的目的之一就是缔结我们的《投资保护协定》和《知识产权保护协定》。
One of the objectives of my mission is to sign our Investment Protection Agreement and Intellectual Property Rights(知识产权)Protection Agreement.我此行的另一目的是希望能与中国同行携手建立一家以
在上海的跨国公司为服务对象的合资咨询服务机构。I am also seeking possibilities of establishing, through partnership with our Chinese colleagues, a joint consultancy firm that will provide services for transnational corporation in Shanghai.最后,我此行的又一项重要任务是向上海市长面呈来访我市的正式邀请,希望市长阁下在其方便的时候尽早访问我市,以便使我们能有机会来回报我们在这里受到的热情款待。Last but not least, I would like to extend in person our official invitation to the mayor of Shanghai.We would like His Honor to visit our city at his earliest convenience, so as to give us an opportunity to return the warm reception and hospitality we enjoy here.我非常珍惜我们两座城市之间的密切关系,我也非常重视我们作为你们最重要的贸易伙伴之一所享有的地位。I greatly cherish the close relationship between our two cities.I also greatly value the position we enjoy as one of your most important trading partners.尽管近年来世界经济处于不景气的状态,我们之间的经济合作和贸易额却一直在稳步增长。
In spite of the worldwide economic recession in recent years, there has been a steady growth in our economic cooperation and trade volume.我们真诚地希望彼此之间继续密切合作,发展我们的友好关系,确保我们在经济、金融和贸易方面的合作持续增进。
It is our sincere wish that we continue to work closely together to enhance our friendly relationship and to ensure a sustained growth in our economic, financial and trade cooperation.请允许我借此机会,祝愿市长先生,祝愿出席今晚招待会的所有中国朋友,身体健康!
谢谢各位。
On the occasion of this reception, I wish Mr.Mayor and all our Chinese friends present here tonight good health!
Thank you.
