尊敬的各位来宾，女士们，先生们:
非常感谢你们热情友好的欢迎词。

中国是最古老的文明发源地之一，访问这个文明古
国是我多年梦寐以求的愿望。

这次访问使我有机会重见老朋友，结交新朋友。

我为自己能
访问贵国和这座美丽的城市，再次表达我的愉快之情和荣幸之感。

我对你们为我到达贵国
后所做的安排深表谢意。

作为在一家中美合资企业工作了两年的美国经理，我认为中国人和美国人在经营管理
中存在着差异。

基于不同的文化传统，我们的美国同事比大部分中国同行来得直率。

我无
法断言我们美国的经营方式一定在中国之上。

毕竟各有各的优点和弊病。

近年来，越来越
多的美国管理人员已经认识到中国人那种更具人情味的管理方式的长处。

很高兴我们能交换意见和信息，并达成共识。

我希望在今后的日子里，我能有机会就
此话题与各位交换自己的看法。

谢谢!

It gives me great pleasure to attend the Boao Forum for Asia 2004 Annual Conference today. Let me begin by extending, on behalf of the Chinese government, my warmest welcome to all of you present here.
In the past few years, with the support of the fellow Asia countries and the larger international community, the Boao Forum for Asia has developed steadily, playing an increasingly prominent role in regional cooperation and demonstrating to the rest of the world the fervent desire of the Asian people for a win-win scenario through closer cooperation.
We are glad to see that Asia has, on the whole, enjoyed stability, with peace, development and cooperation becoming the mainstream of an advancing Asia. With concerted efforts, Asian countries have freed themselves from the shadow of the financial crisis, overcome the impact of SARS and bird flu, succeeded in domestic economic restructuring, and quickened the tempo of industrial upgrading and transformation, promoted a robust regional cooperation and increased the capacity to tide over potential risks. Asia retains its position as one of the world's most
dynamic regions and a key growth point in global trade. All this gives us much confidence about Asia's future.
Ladies and gentlemen, China's development cannot be achieved in isolation of Asia, and Asia's prosperity also needs China. China will follow a peaceful development path holding high
the banners of peace, development and cooperation, join hands with the other Asian countries in bringing about Asian rejuvenation, and make greater contributions to the lofty cause of peace and development in the world. Thank you!

Distinguished Guests, Dear Friends, Ladies and Gentlemen,
On the occasion of the Fifth China International Fair for Investment and Trade, I would like, on behalf of the Chinese government, to extend
my warm welcome to all the distinguished guests coming from all over the world. And I would also like to brief you on the new opportunities for foreign investment in west China after China joined the WTO.
China will become even more open in the 21st century. At present, China is enjoying political stability, economic progress and social harmony. Chinese people are happy about their lives and work.
Not long ago, Beijing succeeded in its bid to host the 2008 Olympic Games. This latest success, coupled with the accession to the World Trade Organization, will add impetus to China's reform, opening-up and economic development. I hope that foreign businesspeople could take part in the development of western regions more actively to advance the economic and social development of the vast western areas.
Many farsighted businesspeople from various countries and regions have paid attention to China and to the western regions and got generous profits in return of their investment activities. We sincerely hope that businesspeople from all over the world seize the historical opportunity to conduct investment and trade cooperation with their Chinese counterparts. Together we can create a brilliant future!

美国人的饮食习惯正在发生变化。

的传统餐，早已为世人所熟知。

而今，我们美国人可以有多种不同的选择，除了传统的家常
菜外，我们可以享受到各种各样的营养均衡的保健餐，方便可口的快餐等等。

保健食品因人们开始重视自身健康而倍受青睐。

保健食品包括那些尽可能不加工的天然
食品。

大多数热衷于保健食品的人士属素食主义者。

他们不吃肉类食物，更愿意从豆类、奶

全国各地到处可见快餐店。

速度是美国人生活中一个非常重要的因素。

通常人们的午餐
休息时间很短，或者人们不愿意在用餐上花费过多的时间。

由于快餐店可以在很短的时间里
向数以百计的客人供餐，人们通常不用等太久。

Welcome to the Silk Road Tour. You will find this two-week trip one of your most memorable experiences in your life. The Silk Road dates back to the 2nd century B.C., when a Chinese official and envoy of the royal court Zhang Qian embarked on his business trip to Western Region
(a Han Dynasty term for the area west of Yumenguan Pass, including what is now Xinjiang and parts of Central Asia) following the trade road linking Asia and Europe.
Originating from Chang'an (present-day Xi'an), the route traversed Shaanxi Province, the Hexi Corridor in Gansu Province, the Tarim Basin
in Xinjiang, the Pamir mountain region, Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq and Syria, ending at the eastern shores of the Mediterranean. More than
4,000 of its 7,000 kilometers were in China.
For over a thousand years up till the 15th century, China brought
its silk cloth and goods, gunpowder, and paper making and printing techniques to the countries in Western Region via this road. This road, in return, introduced into China Buddhism and Islam as well as grapes, walnuts, pomegranates, cucumbers, glass, perfume and other products from the outside world. Because China's silk reached the countries in Western Region along this road, European scholars came to call it "the Silk Road".
A wealth of historical relics, fascinating scenery and interesting local cultures along the Silk Road makes this long trip one of the
world's most exciting tourist attractions. Many Chinese ethnic
minorities scatter along the Chinese portion of the road, all courteous and hospital to visitors from the rest of the world. The food and crafts in the region are different from those in central China. And the
folklore is simply exotic and colorful, just like those fantastic tales in The Arabian Nights.
The Silk Road Tour our travel agency offers will start from the ancient city of Xi'an and end
at Urumqi, the capital of Xinjiang. The tour will also cover Lanzhou, Dunhuang and Turpan. All along the route, you will take pleasure in the charms of the natural landscape, appreciate the superb workmanship of ancient artists, enjoy local delicacies and meet local people. This trip will certainly give you sweet memories that you will share with your family and friends.

我曾经听说过一个谚语，它好像是说如果你在一个国家呆上三礼拜，你能写一本书，如
果是三个月，能写一张明信片;而如果是三年的话，就什么也写不出来了! 我
现在就碰到了
这个问题。

我在中国已经生活了五年，所以我已经完全适应了这里的日常生活。

这可不是什
么应该抱怨的事，对吧?融入到一个不同的社会和文化氛围当中是一件值得满
足的事情，不
是吗?通常情况下是这么回事的。

然而，当我负责一个描述我对中国感受的栏
目时，这一情
况却大大增加了我的写作难度。

在西方社会，学生生活包含学习与社会交往两个部分，而侧重点则是社会交往!中国学
生的这种付出和干劲确实给我留下了深深的印象。

当我还是一个学生的时候，我几乎不会为
了与学习相关的活动而牺牲我的业余时间。

除非是为了迎接考试，否则我的周末全都用于玩
乐或者用于做兼职。

我的中国学生却截然不同，他们似乎是只要不睡觉，就总是在学习。

我
明白，在中国大学里竞争是极其激烈的。

尽管这样，他们的精力和干劲还是使我觉得羞愧。

也许，中国的教育体制确实是过于注重死记硬背的学习方法。

尽管如此，我却发现这并
没有反映出中国学生的天性。

我遇到的这些学生只要拥有一个适当的课堂氛围、获得一个进
行热身练习的机会，就会很自然地进行互动，而且不由自主地享受着表演的乐趣。

在我们进
行一些角色扮演的活动时，有些学生就过于投入他们的角色，以至于他们都快分不清演戏和
现实的界限了!
由于中国学生的礼貌和热情，我克服了公开发言的恐惧感，变得自信起来。

最为重要的
是，我遇到了许多优秀的人并结识了众多要好的朋友。
