美国驻中国大使上海世博会电视致辞
美国驻中国大使Jon Huntsman近日发表电视致辞，表达了对世博和中美两国明天的期待，顺便也宣传了一下美国馆的展览。以下是致辞全文。
I'm pleased to congratulate China on the opening of the Shanghai Expo, a major
event of the world this year and one that will allow Americans and Chinese to continue to get to know each other on the deeper and broader bases.
我高兴地就上海世博会的开幕向中国表示祝贺：这是一个今年世界上的重要事件，它将允许美国人和中国人在一个更深入和更广泛的基础上继续相互了解。
America has hosted and participated in many World Expos since 19th century and we're excited to see this tradition carry on at the Shanghai Expo. Our participation demonstrates America's commitment to a forward-looking, positive relationship with China.
美国自19世纪以来，已经举办和参加了许多世博会，我们很兴奋地看到这一传统在上海世博会上得以延续。我们的参与表明美国对一个与中国前瞻性和积极关系的承诺。 I invite you to visit American pavilion to learn about America's approach to creating \better city and a better life\hope will entertain visitors of all ages and inspire them to be part of efforts to improve their own communities.
我邀请您访问美国馆，了解美国创建一个 ―城市让生活更美好‖的方法。我们已经准备了特别的戏剧表演，我们希望以此招待各年龄段的游客，并激励他们成为改善他们自己社区努力的一部分。
The USA pavilion will also featuer an array of American cultural performers -- from Blue Grass to Hiphop, to Jazz to classical music. One of the Grammy Award winning artists scheduled to perform is American Jazz legend Herbie Hancock.
美国馆还将以大量的美国文化表演者为特色——从蓝草、嘻哈、爵士到古典音乐。计划演奏的格莱美得奖艺术家之一的是美国爵士乐的传奇赫比·汉考克。 I'm also particularly proud of our \pavilion will be greeted by American college students from schools across America. They have many different life experiences they will share with you. And all 160
student ambassadors speak Chinese, which demonstrates the importance American younger generation is placing on learning about China.
我还为我们的―学生大使‖项目而感到特别自豪。美国馆的参观者将受到来自全美各地学校大学生的欢迎。他们将有许多不同的生活经历与大家分享。并且，所有160名学生大使都说中文，这表明美国年轻一代对学习了解中国的重视。
While the Expo is an opportunity to present some of the best of America to visitors, it is also an opportunity to learn from China and many of countries will be exhibiting about how they are working to improve their communities. I personally look forward to visiting other national pavilions to see the many exciting things they will have to offer。 世博会是一个向游客展示美国最好方面的机会，也是个向中国和其他许多即将参展的国家学习他们如何努力改善他们社区的机会。我本人期待着参观其他国家的展馆，看他们即将提供的许多令人兴奋的东西。
I congratulate China on what I'm sure will be a spectacular world's fair. Come and see at the US pavilion。
我确信这将是一个非常壮观的世界博览会，我就此向中国表示祝贺。到美国馆来看我们吧！
希拉里在上海世博会美国馆的讲话
5月22日，美国国务卿克林顿(Hillary Rodham Clinton)在上海世博会美国馆招待会上发表讲话。讲话中她再次引用了一句诗：山重水复疑无路，柳暗花明又一村。以下是讲话全文：
5月22日，美国国务卿希拉里·克林顿参观上海世博会中国馆动态清明上河图的惊喜表情。
Establishing an American presence at this Expo worthy of our great country was
quite a journey.
这一届世界博览会建立美国展区，为了展现我们伟大国家的风采，走过了一段很不容易的路程。
There is a poem from the Southern Song Dynasty that reads: \After endless
mountains and rivers that leave doubt whether there is a path out, suddenly one encounters the shade of a willow, bright flowers and a lovely village.\ Well, I am very pleased that we have finally arrived at our lovely village.
南宋时期的一首诗写道，山重水复疑无路，柳暗花明又一村。现在我们最终来到我们可爱的村庄，我感到非常高兴。
This was a real team effort, a partnership that brought together our government, the private sector, the Chinese-American community, and so many friends and supporters. So, let me offer a few thank-yous.
这项工作真正体现了团队精神，体现了伙伴关系，汇聚了我们的政府、民间部门、美国华裔社区以及如此众多的朋友和支持者的力量。为此，请允许我说几句表示感谢的话。
To Ambassador Jon Huntsman and Consul General Bea Camp, and all the men and women of the U.S. Mission in China, we thank you.
驻华大使洪博培和总领事康碧翠以及美国驻中国使团的全体男女工作人员，我们感谢你们。
To Ken Jarett and the board, staff, and volunteers of the USA Pavilion, including our student ambassadors who represent not just the welcoming spirit of our Pavilion, but the openness of our country. And to Ambassador Elizabeth Bagley and her deputy, Kris Balderston, and our corporate partners -- your generosity and commitment has made all of this possible. And I am very grateful to each and every one of you. 感谢肯·贾勒特及美国馆董事会、工作人员和志愿者，包括我国的学生大使。学生大使不仅表示我国展馆对来访者的欢迎，而且也代表了我国的开放精神。感谢伊丽莎白·巴格利大使和她的副手克里斯·鲍尔德斯滕。还要感谢我们的公司伙伴。你们慷慨解囊，信心十足，才使这一切成为可能。我十分感谢你们每一位。
And finally, I want to express our deep appreciation to our Chinese hosts. It is a great honor to have with us Ambassador Zhang, Vice Foreign Minister Cui, Vice Finance Minister Li, and Vice Mayor Tang here with us this evening. Earlier today I had the privilege of visiting the China Pavilion, with its sweeping panorama of a great nation. The ancient Riverside scroll, which depicts another period of dramatic change and development, has been transformed through the magic of technology into a vivid symbol of the new China. This entire Expo, the largest in history, is a testament to the hospitality and energy of the Chinese people. And all around us we see that the glory of the past is matched by the dynamism of the present and the promise of the future.
最后，我希望对我们的中国东道主表示诚挚的谢忱。张大使、崔副外长、李副部长和唐副市长今晚也在座，我们感到非常荣幸。今天我荣幸地参观了中国馆，欣赏一个伟大国家的全景画卷。古老的清明上河图描述了另一个时期巨大的变迁和发展，通过技术的魔力转眼间展现了新中国生机勃勃的形象。整个世界博览会以有史以来最大的规模，体现了中国人民热情好客的美德和能量。在我们四周，随处可见历史的辉煌与现代的活力及未来的希望交相辉映。
The shape of that future depends, to a significant degree, on the evolving relationship between the United States and China. If our relations are defined by win-win
solutions rather than zero-sum rivalries, we will thrive and prosper together. Now, we may not always agree on every issue, but we should seek and seize opportunities such as this Expo to build greater understanding between our peoples.
未来的希望在很大程度上取决于美国与中国关系的发展。双方的关系如果以实现双赢而不是互不相容的对抗为特征，我们就能共同繁荣昌盛。目前，双方可能无法在每一个问题上一贯达成一致意见，但是双方应该寻求机会，抓住机会，促进两国人民之间的理解。这一届世博会就是一个例证。
This USA Pavilion embodies many of the qualities that make my country a vibrant and prosperous nation: innovation, sustainability, diversity, the free exchange of ideas. And it is a model of environmental responsibility. And I am proud to announce that the Pavilion will be carbon neutral for the entire duration of the Expo.
美国馆体现了创新、可持续性、多样性与自由交流思想等使美国生机勃勃、繁荣昌盛的诸多特性。美国馆是环保责任的典范。我很高兴地宣布，在世博会整个展出期间，美国馆将实现碳中和。
700,000 people have already visited this pavilion. And one of the most moving
displays is the tribute to the millions of Chinese Americans who have contributed so much to the cultural and economic development of the United States. From Yo-Yo Ma to I.M. Pei to Commerce Secretary Gary Locke and Energy Secretary Chu,
Chinese-Americans have achieved great success in business, government, the arts, sciences and sports. And, to that end, I was pleased to hear that the Buffalo Bills have recently drafted the first Chinese-American to play in the NFL.
目前已有70多万人参观了美国馆。美国馆最感人的展品之一是，赞颂为美国文化和经济发展做出如此众多贡献的数百万美国华裔的专题。从马友友到贝聿铭，从商务部长骆家辉到能源部长朱棣文， 美国华裔在工商业、政府、艺术、科技和体育等领域都取得了极大的成功。说到这里，我很高兴地获悉，布法罗·比尔队最近吸收了第一位美国华裔参加美国橄榄球大联盟的赛事。
But we also celebrate those Chinese-Americans whose names are not well known to us. And thousands have sent photographs and testimonials documenting the Chinese experience in the United States. And it represents a true pageant of American life.
