I am very pleased to meet my friends from the Canadian business community on the other side of the Pacific. My current feeling can be best expressed by an ancient Chinese remark: “How delightful I am to have friends coming from afar!”
The Chinese government attaches great importance to the development of bilateral economic and trade relations. And appreciates the efforts made by Canadian-Chinese Trade Council serving as a bridge linking the business communities of our two great nations. I commend all the members of the Council for their efforts in promoting trade with China. Canada is a country with well-developed industries and abundant resources, while China has a plentiful supply of labor force and a potential huge market. We hope to see Canadian enterprises make full use of
their technical and financial advantages and compete well in the Chinese market.

Distinguished guests, Ladies and Gentlemen,
It is my great honor to have you all here celebrating the Chinese New Year. Tonight, we have two themes. One is to celebrate the Spring Festival, the
Chinese New Year. The other is to bid farewell to Counsellor Mr. Chen Xiaoming, and welcome his successor Counsellor Mr. Li Shiqi. Firstly, I would like to take this opportunity to extend my deep appreciation to Mr. Chen for his dedicated service in the Embassy for so many years. We feel sorry to lose such a “Dutch expert”, and wish him all the best in his future endeavors. Now I take the pleasure to introduce to you his successor Mr. Li Shiqi. Mr. Li is not new to the Netherlands. As early as in 1970’s and 90’s, Mr. Li studied here and worked in the Embassy, so he is also a Dutch expert. I am sure, Mr. Li will enjoy full support from each and every one of you just as Mr. Chen did.

演讲例文：
I didn’t know my parents’ birthdays until I came to college. Last year one of my classmates sent present to his mother to celebrate her birthday. Suddenly I realized that every year on my birthday they would buy a birthday cake or send me a present. I should express my gratitude to them too. But I even don’t know their birthdays and their marriage anniversary. I always take their love for granted. In my parents’ eyes, I am interested in playing games. Not work hard. In my eyes they have no special interests. My father likes reading and my mother enjoys watching soap operas. Sometimes we don’t see eye to eye with each other. Sometimes they interfere with my private affairs. I know that they are doing so with good intentions but I think I am a grown-up now and I wish they could treat me like an adult. 参考译文：
母亲节与父亲节
1 美国人用两个特殊的日子向他们的父母表示敬重：这就是每年5月份第二个星期日的母亲节和6月份第三个星期日的父亲节。
2 作为一个全国性的节日，母亲节是伍德罗·威尔逊总统于1915年宣布的。西弗吉尼亚州格拉弗顿区的安·贾维斯女士首先想到应有一个特殊的日子向母亲致以敬意。是她选择了五月份的第二个星期日作为母亲节，也是她首创佩戴康乃馨的习俗。
3 1909年，华盛顿州斯波坎市的多德夫人想到应该有一个特殊日子向父亲表示敬意。她想向自己的父亲——威廉姆·斯马特表示感激之情。自从母亲去世后，父亲一个人担起了养育五子一女的责任。1910年，第一个父亲节在斯波坎市诞生。1972年在参议员玛格丽特· 切斯· 史密斯的帮助下，父亲节被推广成为一个全国性的节日。
4 儿女们在选定的这两个日子里对父母表达自己对他们的爱和尊重。因为是父母把他们养育成人并教育他们成为有责任感的公民，给予他们爱心与关怀。 5 人们用各种形式来庆祝这两个特殊的日子。在母亲节这天，人们佩戴康乃
