Good afternoon ,ladies and gentlemen:
女士們,先生們,下午好:
Bidding for the Olympic is ,in a way ,an image-creating undertaking .The first and foremost thing is to let people fall in love with the city at first sight, attracting them by its unique image.
申辦奧運會在某種程度上是一個創造形象的重任.首先和最重要的事情就是讓人們對這個城市一見鐘情,用自己獨特的形象吸引他們.
What image does Beijing intend to create for itself once it has the opportunity to host the 2008 Olympics?
一旦北京成為二零零八年奧運會的主辦國,她會為自己塑造一個什么樣的形象呢?
It is known to all that the Beijing Municipal Government has already set the theme for the future games:New Beijing ,Great Olympics .
眾所周知,北京市政府已經為這屆未來的運動會設立了主題.
For me ,the 2008 Olympics will be a great green Olympics illuminated with two more special colors ,yellow and red.
對我來說,二零零八年奧運會將會是一屆偉大的綠色奧林匹克運動會,與之相交輝映更有另外兩種特別的顏色:黃色和紅色.
First ,yellow is a meaningful color.The yellow River is China's Mother River and the cradle of Chinese civilization .
首先,黃色是一種意味深長的顏色,黃河是中國的母親河,是中國文化的發源地.
We are of the yellow race and descendants of the Yellow Emperor.This color has a special origin and great significance for the Chinese people.
我們是黃種人,是炎黃子孫.這種顏色對中國人民來說有著特殊的根源和重要性.
Beijing is teh captial of New China and previously the capital for nine dynasties in Chinese history.
北京是新中國的首都,也是先前中國歷史上九個王朝的建都之地.
So ,yellow naturally add splendor to the 2008 Games.
所以,黃色自然會為二零零八年的奧林匹克運動會增添光彩.
Secondly, the 2008 Olympics will be a red pageant.
其次,二零零八年的奧林匹克運動會將是一次紅色的盛會.
Red is another traditionally cherished color for the whole country.We adore red.
紅色是中國人民珍愛的另一種顏色.我們喜歡紅色.
On big occasions,we like to decorate our homes in red.
在一些大節日里,我們喜愛用紅色來裝飾我們的家.
It is the the color of double happiness, representing joyous moments, auspiciousness, enthusiasm and prosperity .
紅色是雙喜臨門的顏色,象征著快樂的時刻,吉祥,熱情和繁榮.
Red is one of the most suitable colors to descibe the futhre of Beijing .Beijing,together with the whole country,is becoming more and more prosperous in the process of modernizstion .Should the 2008 Olympics be held in Beijing, the whole city will be a sea of red:the red torch ,red flags, red flowers, and the radiant faces of millions of joyful people .
紅色是一種用來描述未來北京的最適合的顏色之一.北京和祖國一起在四個現代化的進程中變得越來越繁榮富強.如果二零零八年的奧林匹克運動會在北京舉行,那整個城市將會成為一個紅色的海洋,紅火炬,紅旗,紅花,還有億萬歡樂人民洋溢著紅光的臉.
Above all ,the 2008 Olmpics will be a green Olympics.
最重要的是,二零零八年的奧林匹克運動會將是一屆綠色的運動會.
Adding a green ingredient is essential in creating an appealing image, as we can't deny the fact the Beijing ,at the moment ,is not as green a city as what we like it to be.
在塑造一個吸引人的形象的同時加入綠色的成分是十分必要的,因為我們不能否認北京目前并不是一個讓我們滿意的綠色城市的事實.
Striving for an environmentally appealing city has become a central task for all the citizens of Beijing.
努力成為一個環境喜人的城市已經成為北京市民的中心任務.
Big efforts have been made in pollution control.replanting and beautification of the city.
這個城市在污染控制,植樹種花和美化方面都做了幾番努力.
According to a project entitled The Green Olympic Action Plan , between 1998 and 2007 ,Beijing ,we have invested 100 billion RMB in preserving and protecting the environment.
根據一個題為"綠色奧林匹克運動會行動計劃"的方案,在一九九八和二零零七年之間,北京會在保存和保護環境方面投入一千億元人民幣.
Some 12.5 million trees and over 1 million acres of grass will be planted along the Fourth Ring Road.
沿著四環路將會種上一千二百五十萬和一百萬畝草.
By then ,the city's green area will make up 40% of its total.The city will also dredge its reservoirs and as a water supply to Beijing residents, controlling industrial pollution and moving out the 200 factories presently located within the city proper.
到那時候,這個城市的綠化面積將占面積的40%.這個城市還將建立給北京居民供水的水庫,控制工業污染和把兩百家目前在規劃區域范圍內的工廠搬走.
Certainly ,all of this is no easy task.But I am sure that all of us have confidence that we will realize these "green" goals.
當然,這可不是一個簡單的任務.但我堅信我們有信心實現這些綠色目標,
For now we have the full support and participation of the environmentally conscious citizens .
因為我們有具備環保意識的市民的全力支持和參與.
Each citizen is showing great concern for every one of the steps the city government takes.
每個市民都熱切關注市政府采取的每一個措施.
As the saying goes, "United ,we stand ,"and a green Beijing will be achieved.
俗話說得好,"團結力量大",綠色的北京一定能實現.
When our aspiraton becomes a reality ,it will be a unique Olympics ."New Beijing ,Great Olympics"will be weaved of these three superb colors:yellow , red and green.
當我們的期望變成現實，那將是一屆獨特的奧林匹克運動會."新北京,新奧運"將會由這三種華麗的顏色:黃色,紅色和綠色編織而成.
Let us welcome it and look forward to it !Thank you !
讓我們期望和歡迎它的到來!謝謝!

Not only to me and also to them .So ,uh ,well ,what qualities do I look for in a boyfriend.
不僅對我也對他們來說.那么,我找男朋友需要他有什么樣的品質?
I think different people may come up with different answers because we have got different outlook towards life and the world,and um ,according to some of my male friends they, ever complain to me that they were not so satisfied with their girlfriends.
我認為不同的人會有不同的答案,因為每個人的生活觀和世界觀都不相同.據我的一些男性朋友向我抱怨,他們對自己的女朋友都不是那么滿意.
I'm sorry to say so but according to them their girl friends were just ,just seem to overdemanding.
我很抱歉這樣說,但據他們所說,他們的女朋友都似乎要求太多.
Um ,because they were just trying to find someone who is able to cook delicious food, or who is , who can do all the housework,including washings and also cleaning of the house.
因為她們企圖要找一個會煮好菜,或者是一個能做所有家務活,包括洗衣服,搞衛生等等的人.
And also especially good when they can do massages to them because the girls might get tired after a whole days work.
而且最好他們會為她們做一些按摩,因為干一天活下來,女孩子們會累.
Well I'm sorry to say , we I feel sorry to these girls um ,because to me I think they are just trying to find first a good cook ,then a good servant ,and third ,someone who is good at doing massaging.
我很抱歉地說,我對這些女孩子感到遺憾,因為我認為她們要找的首先是一個好廚師,然后是一個好仆人,再就是一個擅長按摩的人.
Well this sounds really perfect but I have to say that I'm not this kind of girls.
這聽起來真的很完美,但我必須說我不是這種女孩子.
Uh, and what I look for ,and well actually I think this is a personal question but I do not really mind sharing my own requirements of boy friends together with you and what my requirements could be, mainly two things.
我要找的是,實際上我認為這是一個私人的問題.但我不介意和大家一起分享我個人對男朋友的要求,我的要求主要有兩個方面.
And first one that I hope my boyfriend could be well educated ,let's say smart.And second I hope that he can be my bosom friend..
第一,我希望的男朋友受過良好的教育,就是說他是聰明人.第二,我希望他能成為我的知己朋友,
He can be my soulmate. I don't think I need to explain more about the first point because I think everyone trying to find someone who is smart ,who is well deucation ,because they can always bring passion to your life.
他能成為我靈魂上的朋友.我認為我沒有必要再去解釋第一點,因為我想每個人都想找一個聰明的人,受過良好教育的人,這些人總會給你的生活帶來激情.
They can always to come up with different ideas and can make you happy,and bring excitement to your life.
他們總能找到不同的點子給你帶來歡樂,給你的生活帶來刺激.
And for me I 'm just the same .And talking about the second point .I hope that I can find someone who can be also my soulmate.
對我來說,我也會一樣.談及第二點,我希望我能找到一個可以成為靈魂上的伴侶的人.
That I hope that we two can understand each other.I think this is very important in the relationship of these two people .
我希望我們倆能互相了解,我認為這一點兩個人的關系上是非常重要的.
I mean that uh ,I have come across, not not my myself but my friends has come across this kind of situations.
我的意思是,我碰到過,不,不是我而是我的朋友碰到這種情況,
That um, these two people they have got differents towards one issue and maybe one of them will say no I can 't ,I can't agree with you and I can't stay with you any longer.so let's break up .
他們倆對某個問題的看法不同,可能其中一個說不,我不同意你的看法或我再也不能和你相處下去,我們分手吧.
And then they broke up .And I think why they did this is that they couldn't understand each other so well.
然后他們就分手了.我想他們分手的原因是他們相互之間不是很了解.
And for me I just want to find someone who can understand me well and also I hope I can understand him well as well yes.
我只想找一個很了解我的人,同時我希望自己對他也很了解.
So these are the two main points that I ,uh ,these are the two main requirements that I look for .Thank you .
這就是我要說的兩點,也是我要尋找男朋友的兩個主要要求.謝謝.

我喜歡你關于三種顏色的想象,關于北京奧林匹克運動會,你很清晰地向我們解釋了北京作為一個城市在申奧方面獲益匪淺,那是因為發生了很多變化和有了很多的改善.

我的問題與你決定結婚有關.現在你已經找到了那位完美的男朋友,他要你再遲一點才結婚,你知道這樣對你有什么好處嗎?
