Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen,Good afternoon!
主席先生，各位來賓，大家午安！
Before I introduce our cultural programs, only tell you one thing first about 2008. You're going to have a great time in Beijing.
在我介紹我們的文化節(jié)目，首先我要告訴你一件有關(guān)于2008的事，你將在北京度過一段美好的時(shí)光。
Many people are fascinated by Chins's sport legends in the history. For example, back to Song Dynasty, which was the 11th century, people in our country started to play a game called Cuju, which is regarded as the origin of ancient football. The game was so popular that women were also participating. Now, you would probably understand why our women's football team does so well today.
很多人都對(duì)中國(guó)歷的體育傳奇感興趣。例如，早在宋代，大約11世紀(jì)，人們開始玩一個(gè)叫蹴鞠的游戲，這被看作是足球古老的起源。這個(gè)游戲很受歡迎，婦女也來參加。現(xiàn)在，你就會(huì)明白，為什么我們的女子足球隊(duì)這么厲害了。
There are a lot more wonderful and exciting events waiting for you in the New Beijing, a modern metropolis with 3,000 years of cultural treasures woven into the urban tapestry. Along with the iconic imagery of the Forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven and the Great Wall, the city also offers an endless mixture of theatres, museums, discos, all kinds of restaurants and shopping malls which will amaze and delight you.
還有更多精彩的事物在等著你。在新北京，一個(gè)充滿活力的現(xiàn)代化大都市，交織3000年的文化寶藏的城市面貌，伴隨著象征意象的紫禁城、天壇、萬(wàn)里長(zhǎng)城正在向您展開，這個(gè)城市有著多樣的的*、博物館、舞廳、各種餐館和購(gòu)物中心，正在讓您感到驚喜與興奮。
But beyond all that, this is a city of millions of friendly people who love to meet people from around the world. They believe if the 2008 Olympics is held in Beijing, it will help to enhance the harmony between our culture and diverse cultures of the world. And gurantee their gratitude will pour out in open expressions of affection for you and the great Movement that you guide.
但除此之外，它是一個(gè)深受幾百萬(wàn)喜愛，可以滿足來自全世界的人的城市。北京人民相信，如果2008年奧運(yùn)會(huì)將在北京舉辦，將會(huì)促進(jìn)我們的文化會(huì)與世界多元文化相互交融。他們會(huì)公開表達(dá)對(duì)奧運(yùn)的期盼之情了，你可以見證你和偉大的運(yùn)動(dòng)間的文化交流。
Within our cultural programs, education and communication will receive the highest priority. We seek to create an intellectual and sporting legacy by broadening the understanding of the Olympic Ideals throughout the country.
在我們的文化發(fā)展中，教育和交流將得到優(yōu)先發(fā)展，我們想要?jiǎng)?chuàng)造一個(gè)智力和體育遺產(chǎn)，通過在全國(guó)各地廣闊傳播人們對(duì)于奧運(yùn)夢(mèng)想的理解。
Cultural events will unfold each year, from 2005 to 2008. We will stage multi-disciplined cultural programs,indluding concerts, exhibitions, art competitions and camps which will involve young people from around the world. During the Olympics, these activites will also be held in the Olympic Village and in the city for the benefit of the athletes.
文化活動(dòng)也將因之而每一年開展，從2005年至2008年，我們將舉辦多元化的文化節(jié)目，如音樂會(huì)、展覽會(huì)、美術(shù)比賽和夏令營(yíng)，將涉及來自世界各地的青少年。奧運(yùn)會(huì)期間, 這些活動(dòng)還將為運(yùn)動(dòng)員們?cè)趭W運(yùn)村和所在城市舉辦。
Our Ceremonies will give China's greatest-and the world's greatest artists a chance to celebrate the common aspiration of humanity and unique heritage of chinese culture and that of the Olympic Movement.
開幕式我們將給予我國(guó)和世界上藝術(shù)家們一次機(jī)會(huì)，來歡慶人類的共同愿望和中國(guó)文化和奧林匹克運(yùn)動(dòng)的獨(dú)特文化遺產(chǎn)。
With a concept inspired by the famed Silk Road, our Torch Relay will break new ground, traveling from Olympia through some of the oldest civilizations known to man-Greek, Roman, Egyptian, Byzantine, Mesopotamian, Persian, Arabian, Indian and Chinese. Carrying the message "Share the Peace, Share the Olympics," the eternal flame will reach new heights as it crosses the Himalayas over the world's highest summit - Mount Qomolangma, which is known to many of you as Mt. Everest. In China, the torch will pass through Tibet, cross Yangtze and Yellow Rivers, travel the Great Wall and visit Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan and 56 ethnic communities who make up all our society. On its journey, the flame will be seen by and inspire more human beings than any previous relay.
基于絲綢之路帶來的靈感，我們的火炬接力將有新的突破，從奧林匹亞開始，穿越一些最古老的國(guó)家文明古國(guó)——希臘、羅馬、埃及、拜占庭、美索不達(dá)米亞、波斯、阿拉伯、印度和中國(guó)。攜帶的信息“分享和平，分享奧運(yùn)”永恒的火焰將達(dá)到新的高峰，因?yàn)樗鼘⒋┰较柴R拉雅山在世界的峰——珠穆朗瑪峰。在中國(guó)，圣火還將穿過西藏，穿越長(zhǎng)江與黃河，游歷長(zhǎng)城，并拜訪香港，澳門，臺(tái)灣和56個(gè)民族的人們，在這一歷程之中，圣火的觀看人數(shù)將超越所有之前的傳遞，兒它也將被激勵(lì)更多的人參與到奧林匹克的大家庭中。
I am afraid I can not give you the full picture of our cultural programs within such a short period of time. Before I end, let me share with you one story. Seven hundred years ago, amazed by his incredible description of a far away land of great beauty, people asked Marco Polo whether his stories about China were true. And Marco answered: What I have told you was not even half of what I saw. Actually, what we have shown you here today is only a fraction of the Beijing that awaits you.
在這么短的時(shí)間里，我恐怕不能介紹現(xiàn)在的中華全貌與我們的文化，在我結(jié)束前，讓我跟大家分享這樣一個(gè)故事，七百年前，馬可波羅來到中國(guó)，馬可波羅曾對(duì)中國(guó)的美麗有過驚奇的描述，人們對(duì)他描述感到十分驚訝，人們問馬可波羅他的故事是不是真的，他回答道：我告訴你的連我看到的一半都沒有達(dá)到。其實(shí),我們已經(jīng)介紹的只是一小部分，北京正在等待著你！
Ladies and Gentlemen，
女士們， 先生們，
I believe Beijing will prove to be a land of wonders to all of you, to athletes, spectators, and world-wide television audience alike. Come and join us. Thank you, Mr president. Thank you all. Now I'd like to give the floor back to Mr. He.
我相信北京將向你們所有人證明它是一片神奇的土地, 不論是運(yùn)動(dòng)員，觀眾，還是全世界的電視觀眾。來吧，和我們一起來吧！謝謝主席先生。謝謝大家。 現(xiàn)在再次由請(qǐng)何振梁先生講話。
