Thank you very much, Mr. Mayor. I appreciate your kind words of introduction. And we're delighted to be here today.

1.4 王光亚在普林斯顿大学的演讲开场白
Speech by Ambassador Wang Guangya at Princeton University 女士们、先生们：
Ladies and Gentlemen,
晚上好。
Good evening.
很荣幸应邀到普林斯顿大学参加你们的研讨会。对我本人、我的同事及许多中国人来讲，普林斯顿大学的名字早已是耳熟能详。她的历史比这个国家还长，从这个校园里走出了美国第28任总统伍德罗·威尔逊、伟大科学家爱因斯坦、著名诗人T.S. 艾略特等众多杰出人物。正如前总统克林顿先生在1996年普大建校250周年时所说：“在美国历史上的每一个紧要关头，普林斯顿大学及其师生都发挥了关键作用。”
I am honored to be invited to your seminar tonight. For me, for my colleagues and many other Chinese, Princeton has long been a familiar name. With a history longer than the country, it
has produced many outstanding people, Woodrow Wilson, the 28th US President, Albert Einstein, the great scientist, and T. S. Eliot, the famous poet, to name but a few. As the former President Bill Clinton said in 1996 in celebration of the 250 anniversary of Princeton: "At every pivotal moment in American history, Princeton, its leadership, its students have played a crucial role."
令人高兴的是，在座诸位对中国事务都抱有研究兴趣。虽然我们两国地理上相距万里，但在日常生活中却非常相近。好莱坞影片、麦当劳快餐成了许多中国人生活中的内容。而中国加工的服装、日用品也天天伴随着美国人民。我希望通过今天的交流，能增进在座诸位对中国和中国外交政策的了解，为未来彼此的友谊与合作锦上添花。
I am more pleased to learn that all of you have a keen interest in China. Though our two countries are geographically far apart, we have lots in common. While many Chinese enjoy Hollywood movies and McDonald's fast food, many Americans find that their clothes and daily necessities are made in China. I hope that today's seminar will help you gain a better understanding of China and its foreign policy, thus further deepening our friendship and cooperation.

2．3 Yo-Yo Ma
今天将与我们见面的是我们这个时代最伟大的大提琴家-马友友。作为大提琴演奏家，马友友的职业生涯已经横跨了20多个年头，期间他发布了50多张专辑。他的音乐获得过许多奖项，其中包括令人叹服的14项格莱美大奖。他也曾经在许多重要的场合演奏，如格莱美的颁奖仪式和奥运会的庆典活动。
马友友是出生在法国的华裔，父母都是音乐家，母亲是歌唱家，父亲是作曲家。第一次正式登台演出的时候，马友友只有5岁。随后他随家人迁居到了美国。4年后，年仅9岁的马友友就在纽约极具声望的卡耐基音乐大厅登台演出了。后来马友友进入朱莉亚音乐学院学习提琴演奏。从那儿他转入哈佛大学，并获得人类学学位。他在哈佛的求学经历以及多元的文化背景都造就了今天的马友友。
而今，马友友仍在继续他的音乐之路，并且积极地与来自世界各地的各种流派的音乐家合作。他的音乐灵感受到人和大自然的激发。在马友友看来，大提琴是他声带的延伸。他演奏时最重要的一点就是全时全情地投入，并且努力将音乐的内容传递给现场观众。
3.3 Steve Forbes on Forbes
我祖父二十世纪初来到美国，他离开苏格兰时身上没有什么钱。连他在内有兄弟姐妹10人，不过他自小受到很好的教育。像许多人一样，他也是满怀憧憬和理想来到美国的。 他创办了《福布斯》杂
志， 报道那些实干家，那些给商业社会带来变革的人.
我祖父常说，做生意不是为了堆积百万财富，而是为了带来幸福快乐。如今我们讲到公司和经营，文章中会用到许多数字，但是焦点一直放在人上面。对公司而言，最重要的是人，而不是资产负债表。以前我祖父是这样看的，我们现在也这样看。
当前世界信息泛滥，足以将人淹么其中，人们迫切需要一本刊物来解读这些信息，告诉读者哪些重要哪些可以不必理会。这就是《福布斯》的价值所在。我们提供额外的视角和判断。我们从不停留于表面，总想看看公司到底如何经营的，正是当今芜杂繁多的信息使得《福布斯》日益重要。
3.4 Introduction to an arts and crafts company
Distinguished guests, dear friends:
I feel honored to have this opportunity to introduce our company to you through the platform provided by this conference.

Our designs have become trend setters in the industry.

4.4 保持农历核心价值观
对于华人来说，农历新年无疑是全年最重要的喜庆节日。这个华人传统源自大约3000年前，它代表着旧的一年平安过去了，人们准备大事庆祝和迎接新的一年.
To all of the Chinese people in the world, the lunar New Year is undoubtedly the most important festival in the whole year. Dating back about 3,000 years ago, It represents that people pass the old year peacefully and prepare for big celebration to welcome the new year.
除夕夜的团圆饭是整个年头里最具意义的一餐。所有大家庭的成员都会聚集一堂，远在他乡的也会尽量赶回来。 团圆饭显示了家庭在华族文化里的重要地位。它可以加强凝聚力.
The reunion dinner on New Year's Eve is the most meaningful one in the entire year. So members of a big family will gather up, even if some are far away. The reunion dinner shows the importance of family in the culture of Chinese people, which can strengthen the sense of togetherness of family.
人们庆祝新年的方式，体现了两个重要的核心价值观。首先，多代同堂的家庭成员，齐聚家中享受一顿丰盛的团圆饭，是每个人都会遵守的习惯。准备一顿丰富晚餐的工作，当然是落在家中女成员的身上，比较富裕的家庭则可能有佣人帮忙。 其次，亲戚朋友之间也会兴高采烈互访。这样的欢庆方式，有助于加强亲情和友情。
The way people celebrate the New Year embodies two important core values. The first value is the sense of family togetherness; members of multi-generation families are all there to have a big reunion dinner. Everyone will follow this custom. The female members are always responsible for preparing the dinner, and some rich families may take on extra hands .The second value lies in the happy visits mutually made between friends and relatives, a good way to strengthen kinship and friendship.
忙碌了一年，人们不愿在过年时还亲朋好友之间也不再登门拜访，代之以电话、短信拜年。要忙年夜饭，越来越多的人宁愿花钱在高级的餐馆吃. 亲朋好友之间也不再登门拜访，代之以电话、短信拜年。有的举家出游，甚至干脆住进酒店 “避年”，避免亲戚朋友造访，图个清静。
However, economic development has resulted in some changes in lifestyles. After a busy year, people are tired of preparing for the reunion dinner, and would rather hold it in posh restaurants, despite the exorbitant costs. The festival door-to-door visits have given way to New Year greetings via telephone or text messages. Some families go away for a trip or even go to such extreme as to seek temporary refuge in a hotel so as to avoid being visited.
有的传统人士认为，没有了团圆饭和亲戚朋友互访的习俗和它们所代表的核心价值观，新年将失去意义。有一些悲观人士认为，随着西方文化的不断入侵，中国的传统佳节都在逐渐失去本来的意义，变成一个商业性的节日，就像圣诞节一样。
Some tradition-minded people regard the reunion dinner and visits to relatives and close friends during the New Year as where core values are embodied, without which the holiday would lose much of its significance. Some pessimists contend
that, as the popularity of western culture grows, Chinese traditional festivals will gradually lose their original meaning and degenerate into commercial festivals like Christmas.
春节是中华文化遗产的重要部分，新春活动将延续下去。庆祝的形式虽然会和以前不一样，但他们代表的核心价值观，即对亲情和友情的重视应该保留。
The Spring Festival is an important part of the Chinese cultural heritage, and it will continue to be celebrated. The modes of celebration may change, but the core value should be sustained: that of respect for kinship and friendship.

很荣幸应邀到普林斯顿大学参加你们的研讨会。对我本人、我的同事及许多中国人来讲，普林斯顿大学的名字早已是耳熟能详。她的历史比这个国家还长，从这个校园里走出了美国第28任总统伍德罗·威尔逊、伟大科学家爱因斯坦、著名诗人T.S. 艾略特等众多杰出人物。正如前总统克林顿先生在1996年普大建校250周年时所说：“在美国历史上的每一个紧要关头，普林斯顿大学及其师生都发挥了关键作用。”

4.4 保持农历核心价值观
对于华人来说，农历新年无疑是全年最重要的喜庆节日。这个华人传统源自大约3000年前，它代表着旧的一年平安过去了，人们准备大事庆祝和迎接新的一年.
To all of the Chinese people in the world, the lunar New Year is undoubtedly the most important festival in the whole year. Dating back about 3,000 years ago, It represents that people pass the old year peacefully and prepare for big celebration to welcome the new year.
除夕夜的团圆饭是整个年头里最具意义的一餐。所有大家庭的成员都会聚集一堂，远在他乡的也会尽量赶回来。 团圆饭显示了家庭在华族文化里的重要地位。它可以加强凝聚力.
The reunion dinner on New Year's Eve is the most meaningful one in the entire year. So members of a big family will gather up, even if some are far away. The reunion dinner shows the importance of family in the culture of Chinese people, which can strengthen the sense of togetherness of family.
人们庆祝新年的方式，体现了两个重要的核心价值观。首先，多代同堂的家庭成员，齐聚家中享受一顿丰盛的团圆饭，是每个人都会遵守的习惯。准备一顿丰富晚餐的工作，当然是落在家中女成员的身上，比较富裕的家庭则可能有佣人帮忙。 其次，亲戚朋友之间也会兴高采烈互访。这样的欢庆方式，有助于加强亲情和友情。
The way people celebrate the New Year embodies two important core values. The first value is the sense of family togetherness; members of multi-generation families are all there to have a big reunion dinner. Everyone will follow this custom. The female members are always responsible for preparing the dinner, and some rich families may take on extra hands .The second value lies in the happy visits mutually made between friends and relatives, a good way to strengthen kinship and friendship.
忙碌了一年，人们不愿在过年时还亲朋好友之间也不再登门拜访，代之以电话、短信拜年。要忙年夜饭，越来越多的人宁愿花钱在高级的餐馆吃. 亲朋好友之间也不再登门拜访，代之以电话、短信拜年。有的举家出游，甚至干脆住进酒店 “避年”，避免亲戚朋友造访，图个清静。
However, economic development has resulted in some changes in lifestyles. After a busy year, people are tired of preparing for the reunion dinner, and would rather hold it in posh restaurants, despite the exorbitant costs. The festival door-to-door visits have given way to New Year greetings via telephone or text messages. Some families go away for a trip or even go to such extreme as to seek temporary refuge in a hotel so as to avoid being visited.
有的传统人士认为，没有了团圆饭和亲戚朋友互访的习俗和它们所代表的核心价值观，新年将失去意义。有一些悲观人士认为，随着西方文化的不断入侵，中国的传统佳节都在逐渐失去本来的意义，变成一个商业性的节日，就像圣诞节一样。
Some tradition-minded people regard the reunion dinner and visits to relatives and close friends during the New Year as where core values are embodied, without which the holiday would lose much of its significance. Some pessimists contend
that, as the popularity of western culture grows, Chinese traditional festivals will gradually lose their original meaning and degenerate into commercial festivals like Christmas.
春节是中华文化遗产的重要部分，新春活动将延续下去。庆祝的形式虽然会和以前不一样，但他们代表的核心价值观，即对亲情和友情的重视应该保留。
The Spring Festival is an important part of the Chinese cultural heritage, and it will continue to be celebrated. The modes of celebration may change, but the core value should be sustained: that of respect for kinship and friendship.
