Opening ceremony speech for Beijing Olympic Games by Rogue
罗格北京奥运会开幕式致辞
Mr. President of the People's Republic of China, Mr. Liu Qi, Members of the Organizing Committee, dear Chinese friends, dear athletes:
For a long time, China has dreamed of opening its doors and inviting the world's athletes to Beijing for the Olympic Games. Tonight that dream comes true. Congratulations, Beijing.
You have chosen as the theme of these Games "One World, One Dream". That is what we are tonight.
As one world, we grieved with you over the tragic earthquake in Sichuan Province. We were moved by the great courage and solidarity of the Chinese people. As one dream, may these Olympic Games bring you joy, hope and pride.
Athletes, the Games were created for you by our founder, Pierre de Coubertin. These Games belong to you. Let them be the athletes' Games.
Remember that you are role models for the youths of the world. Reject doping and cheating. Make us proud of your achievements and your conduct.
As we bring the Olympic dream to life, our warm thanks go to the Beijing Organizing Committee for its tireless work. Our special thanks also go to the thousands of gracious volunteers, without whom none of this would be possible.
Beijing, you are a host to the present and a gateway to the future. Thank you.
I now have the honor of asking the President of the People's Republic of China to
open the Games of the 29th Olympiad of the modern era.

5.Relevant Knowledge
1) Title 称谓
在礼仪祝词中，译员首先面临的第一道难题是称谓的翻译。

称谓代表了一个人的
职位，职衔或学衔，体现了一个人的资历和地位。

A . 一般说来，各类机构或组织的首长其汉语称谓译成英语是虽可套用通词head，但从比较严格的意义上看，应使用特定的，规范的称谓。

校长或院长（大学）：President of Beijing University
校长（中小学）：Principal/ Headmaster of Shanghai Foreign Language School
院长（大学下属）：Dean of the Graduate School
系主任（大学下属）：Chair(man) of the English Department
会长/主席（学/协会）：President of the Student Union, Fudan University
厂长（企业）：Director of the Machine Tools Manufacturing Plant
院长（医院）：President of Xinhua Hospital
主任（中心）：Director of the Business Center
董事长（企业）：President/ Chairman of the Board of Directors
董事长（学校）：President/ Chairman of the Board of Directors
B. 首席长官的汉语称谓常以“总......”表示，而表示首席长官的英语称谓则常有chief,head,general,managing 等这类次，因此当翻译冠以“总”字的头衔时，需要遵循英语头衔的表达习惯：
总经理：general manager, general director, executive（行政的）head
总裁判：chief arbiter
总/主教练：head coach
总书记：general secretary (但秘书长为：secretary-general)
总指挥：commander-in-chief
总领事：consul-general
总工程师：chief engineer
总厨/厨师长：head cook ,chef
总编辑：chief editor, editor-in-chief, managing editor (但主编为managing editor)
C. 有些部门或机构的首长或主管的英译，可以用一些通用的头衔词表示，例如下列机构的负责人可以用director,head或chief 来表示。

司（部属）department
厅（部属）department
局bureau
所institute
处division
科section
