Thank you very much for your gracious welcoming speech. China is one of the earliest cradles of civilization and the visit to this ancient nation has long been my dream. This visit will give me an excellent opportunity to meet old friends and establish new contacts. I wish to say again that I am so delighted and privileged to visit your great country and this lovely town. I am deeply grateful for everything you have done for me since my arrival in China. As an American manager of a Sino-American joint venture for two years, I have to say that there are differences in business management practice between Chinese and Americans. We are more direct and straightforward than most Chinese colleagues due to our different cultural traditions. I can't say our way of doing business is absolutely superior. After all, there are strong points and weak points in both types of management. In recent years, more and more American business executives have recognized the strong points of the more humane way of Chinese management.
It is a great pleasure that I can exchange views and information with you, and reach common ground here. And I wish to share with you my thoughts on this topic in the days to come. Thank you!
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!

我们高兴地看到，亚洲形势总体稳定，和平、发展、合作已成为亚洲前进的主流。经过共同努力，亚洲有关国家摆脱了金融危机的阴影，战胜了非典和禽流感疫情的冲击，经济结构调整取得成效，产业升级换代步伐加快，区域合作方兴未艾，抗御风险能力不断增强。亚洲将仍然是全球最具发展活力的地区之一，也是全球贸易的重要增长点之一。我们对亚洲的发展前景充满信心。

Honorable Guests, Friends, Ladies and Gentlemen,
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!

Your Honored Mr. Mayor, My Chinese Friends, Ladies and Gentlemen,
I feel honored to come here on my first visit to your beautiful city. On behalf of all the members of my mission, I would like to take this opportunity to express our sincere thanks to our host for their earnest invitation and gracious hospitality we have received since we set foot on this charming land. I am also very happy that this visit has given me an excellent opportunity to
convey to you and to the people of Shanghai warm greetings and sincere good wishes from the government and people of my country. Although we live with a distance of thousands of miles between us, \said.
The whole world is watching with great interest in the remarkable changes that are taking place in China, particularly in Shanghai. To our great amazement, this country boasts a two-decade persistent economic growth, which is unequalled elsewhere in the world. China's miraculous rise as one of the strongest economic powers in the Asian-Pacific region has attracted, and will continue to attract, a growing number of business, manufacturing and financial giants in our country to invest in China, particularly to invest in a number of long- term projects in Shanghai and its surrounding areas.
Last but not least, I would like to extend in person our official invitation to the mayor of Shanghai. We would like to invite His Honor to visit our city at his earliest convenience, so as to give us an opportunity to return the warm reception and hospitality we enjoyed here.
I greatly cherish the close relationship between our two cities. I also greatly value the position we enjoy as one of your most important trading partners. In spite of the worldwide economic recession in recent years, there has been a steady growth in our economic cooperation and trade volume. It's our sincere wish that we continued to work closely together to enhance our friendly relationship and to ensure a sustained growth in our economic, financial and trade cooperation.
On the occasion of this reception, I wish Mr. Mayor and all our Chinese friends present here tonight good health! Thank you!

整个世界都在以极大的兴趣注视着中国，尤其是注视着上海，正在发生的变化。令人惊讶的是，20年来中国经济强劲持续增长，没有哪一个国家可以与其媲美。中国奇迹般的迅速崛起为亚太地区最具实力的经济强国之一，吸引了并将继续吸引越来越的商业、制造业和金融业的巨头来华投资，尤其是在上海及其周边地区的许多长期项目上投资。 我此行的另一项重要任务是向上海市长面呈访问我市的正式邀请，希望市长阁下在其方便的时候尽早访问我市，使我们能有机会回报我们在这里受到的热情款待。 我非常珍惜我们两座城市之间的密切关系。我也非常重视我们作为你们最重要的贸易伙伴之一所享有的地位。尽管近年来世界经济处于不景气的状态，我们之间一直保持经济合作和贸易往来。我们真诚地希望能继续发展我们的友好关系，确保我们在经济、金融和贸易方面的合作持续增长。

Text D
Many changes are taking place in American food styles. The United States is traditionally famous for its very solid and unchanging diet of meat and potatoes, Now, in addition to the traditional home-cooked meal, we have many different alternatives to choose from: such as nutrition-balanced health food, convenient and delicious fast food and so on.
Health food gained popularity when people began to think more seriously about their physical health. Health food includes natural food with minimal processing. Most health food enthusiasts are vegetarians. They eat no meat and prefer to get their essential proteins from other sources, such as beans, cheese, and eggs.
Fast food can be seen all over the country. Speed is a very important factor in the life of an American. People usually have a short lunch break or they just do not want to waste their time eating. Because fast-food restaurants are places which take care of hundreds of people in a short time, there is usually very little waiting. And the food is always cheap. 美国人的饮食习惯正在发生变化。美国人多年来那种丰盛的、一成不变的肉制品加土豆的传统餐，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、奶酪和鸡蛋等食物中获取人体所需要的蛋白质。 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。而且，快餐还很便宜。
