施瓦辛格在清华大学的演讲稿

Well, thank you very much, President. （好的，非常感谢，校长）First of all, I want to thank President Gu for having me here, and I want to thank Mr. Qizhi for your kind introduction. Thank you very much.（首先，我想感谢顾校长邀请我到这里，同样非常感谢齐志先生的亲切介绍，非常感谢。）

It is wonderful to be here at this university. What a special place. （很高兴来到这里，来到这所特殊别的大学）I just looked around a little bit here, it’s a gorgeous, gorgeous place.（我刚才在这儿简单环顾了一下四周，这是一个漂亮的，富丽堂皇的地方）I want to congratulate you for going to this magnificent university here.（我想要祝贺你走进了这样一所宏伟的大学）

Now, the last time I was here in China was five years ago, （现在离我上次在中国已经有五年之久了）and then I was promoting my movies（然而那时我正在推广我的电影）. They had a movie festival here, the Arnold Schwarzenegger Movie Festival. （当时阿诺

德电影节在这里举行）I remember they showed all my movies for a week—which was a rarity, （我记得一件罕见的事情，他们用一周的时间展示了我所有的电影）may I remind you—and they also showed the movies on television.（另一点你们可能不知道的，他们也在电视上放了这些电影）But we also were here to promote Special Olympics, which is an organization that helps people with mental disabilities,（同时，我们也在这儿帮助一个救助智障人们的特奥会）so I was here for both reasons.（这就是我在中国的两个原因）

But this time I’m here as the governor of the great state of California. I’m here representing the people of California, and we’re here on a t rade mission to see how we can do more business with China and to help each other, because both California is a very fast growing state, and China is a very fast growing country, and there are a lot of things that we can do for one another.

But I didn’t want to miss the opportunity to come here today and to talk with the young people; as a matter of fact, to the brightest young people of China. And this is why it is so great to be here at the Tsinghua University, and I’m honored that I was invited here.

Now, I read a little bit about the history of Tsinghua, and I learned that actually this school originally prepared students to attend universities in America. Now, I also know that since the attack on our World Trade Centers it has become more and more difficult to go to the universities in America because you need to fill out all kinds of paperwork now and you have to get visas, and it’s very complicated, and you have to wait a much longer period of time to go over there. But let me tell you, things are improving already. I’ve heard that it’s easing up, the restrictions, and it’s easier to get a visa. My young Chinese

friends, I want to tell you that in case no one from America has ever invited you, let me do this right now personally. I want to warmly invite all of you here to come to the United States, and especially to come to California, because that’s the happening place. California is the best place.

Please come and visit us, we will welcome you. I invite you all to come there and to travel, to meet the American people, and to come there and study in our universities, and some day hopefully you will come and do business over there, or maybe you’ll want to move over there. Whatever your goal is, you’re always welcome. America, after all, let’s n ot forget, is the land of opportunity. And it’s not only the land of opportunity for Austrians like me, but for Chinese people as well. Remember that.

I know that beginning with this century, China is also becoming a land of
