正确答案：(我总认为发明的过程有点像当大学生的过程。作为发明家，你走进实验室，你有强烈的但或许是模糊的想法去实现什么。通过努力工作，不断试验，学习并应用前人的成果：你走上一条通向发现的大道。也许你不能抵达所期望的地方，但如果成功了，你就会开始另一艰难的过程力图使你的发明应用于周围的世界。//

像发明家一样，你们许多人过去4年来在大学都经历了同样的路程。今天的你们和你们的目标同你们刚来此时可能不一样。我认为现在毕业的年轻人要加入的是一个充满比以往任何时候有着更多希望和前景的世界。我知道这听上去怪怪的，因为我们总是考虑到我们周围的危险与挑战，但我认为这是个具有宏大前景和巨大机遇的时代。)

It's always struck me that the process of invention is a bit like the process of being a college

student. As an inventor, you go into a lab and you have a strong but perhaps vague idea of what you want to achieve. By working hard, experimenting, learning and using the work of those before you—you advance down the road toward discovery. You may not end up where you expected, but if you' re successful, then begins another difficult process of trying to make your invention work in the world around you. //

Like inventors, many of you have traveled the same road over the last 4 years at university. The person you are today and the goals you have today may be different from the ones you had when you came here. I believe young people are graduating today into a world filled with more hope and promise than in any other time in history. I know that might sound strange, because we think always of the dangers and challenges around us. But I believe this is an era of great promise and great opportunity.

正确答案：(我很荣幸能以东道主的身份在这里发表讲话，与大家共商可持续发展的蓝图。这次会议的主题是“人、地球、繁荣”。与会代表在这两天半所要发表和辩论的课题与我们每一位都息息相关，我们努力确保经济增长与社会进步和自然环境保护并行不悖。人类现行生活方式能否持续，广受全球各界关注。// 许多国家积极参与会议，争取获得成果。地方和中央政府在推动可持续发展方面都肩负重任。同样关键的是：商界和民间组织等非政府机构和人民，对于推动可持续发展工作和生活方式，同样起着领导作用。让我们依照“全局思维、本地行动”的原则行动起来，努力为子孙后代建立更美好的城市(环境)。)

I am honored to speak as the host of the conference that will help us map out a sustainable future. The theme of this conference is "People, Planet, Prosperity". The issues that delegates will present and debate over the next two and a half days concern all of us here, as we seek to ensure that economic growth can develop hand in hand with social progress and protection of our natural environment. There is a widespread concern in all sectors of the global society for the sustainability of our current way of living. //

Many nations respond with a high level of commitment to achieving positive results. Governments, both at the city and national levels, obviously have a pivotal role to play in implementing the principles of sustainable development. It is equally essential for people and organizations outside governments, including the business sector, to also play a leading role in pushing towards more sustainable practices and lifestyles. Let us act according to the principle of "thinking globally and acting locally", and work hard to make our cities better for future generations.
