Good afternoon ,ladies and gentlemen.Today I 'm gonna talk about dreams .everybody has a dream.
女士們,先生們,下午好.今天我準備談論一下夢想.人人都擁有一個夢想.
Martin Luthe King had a dream-and we can all recall his Civil Rights Speech.
馬丁.路德金擁有一個夢想-我們都能回憶起他的民權演講.
Phil Knight had a dream-and now the whole world knows his Nike slogan;"Just Do it ."
菲爾.奈特擁有一個夢想-整個世界都知道他的耐克口號"做就行".
China also has a dream , an Olympic dream.
中國也有一個夢想,一個奧林匹克夢.
A hundred years ago,a newspaper in Tianjin,carried an article about China's Olympic dream.
一百年前,天津的一家報紙有一篇關于中國的奧林匹克夢的文章,
Three challenging questions were raised .The first ,when can China send a team to the Olmpics?
在當中提出了三個具有挑戰性的問題.第一個是中國什么時候才能派支隊伍參加奧林匹克運動會?
The second, when can China win an Olympic gold medal?And the third,when can China host an Olympic Games?
第二個是中國什么時候才能獲得奧林匹克運動會的金牌.而第三個是中國什么時候才能舉辦奧林匹克運動會.
As you all know , our country has answered the first two .
眾所周知,我國已經回答了前面兩個問題.
China sent its first team nearly 70 years ago and won the first gold medal in the 84 Los Angeles Games .
中國早在七十年前已派出第一支隊伍參賽,另在一九八四年洛杉磯奧運會獲得了第一金牌.
Since then we have all been hoping to answer the third.Earlier this year ,China started its final bid for hosting the 2008 Olympic Games.
從那時候以來我們一直希望能夠答復第三個問題.今年年初,中國開始了最后一輪申請主辦二零零八奧林匹克運動會.
Our passion is to realize the last part of our Olympic dream.
我們的熱情是去實現我們奧林匹克之夢的最后一部分.
That dream guided our first bid eight years ago .No Chinese will soon forget the disappiontment when it burst!
八年以前奧林匹克之夢指引我們作了第一次申辦.中國人不會馬上忘記當夢想破滅時候的失望!
However, China's commitment to the Olympic movement has revied the dream.
不過,中國對奧林匹克運動會的承諾使夢復活了.
As you know ,China increased its participation in Sydney and bought home unparalleled success with 28 gold medals.
大家都知道,中國增加了其在悉尼奧運會的參賽項目并以二十八枚金牌取得空前的勝利.
In the past eight years,China has spared no efforts to host internatinal sporting events and creat a green environment for our Olympic dream.
在過去八年里, 中國一直不遺余力去主辦國際運動大賽,同時為我們的奧林匹克之夢創造一個綠色環境.
It seems everyone is now trying to contribute to our green Olympic bid.
似乎現在每個人都在努力為我們的申辦奧林匹克運動會做貢獻.
Even my twelve-year-old cousin from Beijing is doing her part.
甚至我來自北京的十二歲的堂妹都在貢獻她的那一分力量.
When she visited my hometown during the Spring Festival ,she proudly told me that she is part of the "Green Angles Campaign"these days.
當她春節拜訪我故鄉的時候,她自豪地告訴我這些日子她是"綠色的天使活動"的成員.
Then as in making an announcement at a conference,she declared that every Sunday she joins her Green Angles Group and spend two hours colleting litter in a park.
然后就好像在會議上作宣告一樣,她宣稱自己每個星期天都加入綠色天使小組,花兩個小時去公園撿垃圾.
I felt dubious , because I know she seldom does anything at home with her "tender little hands," let along collecting litter!
我感到很懷疑,因為我知道她在家里很少用她"嬌嫩的小手"去做家務,更不用說去撿垃圾了.
However ,her parents confirmed and supported their daughter's efforts.
然而她的父母親都證實了她的說法并支持她的努力.
Beyond the recent personal involvement ,our whole country has for many years been laying foundations for this vision .
不談論目前個人的問題,很多年以來我們的整個國家一直在為這個夢想打基礎.
We are the most populous nation of our global village .Yet in the past two decades, we have made great social and economic progress.
我們是全世界人口最多的國家,然而在過去的二十年來,我們已經取得了偉大的社會進步和經濟進步.
For the first time ,instead of worrying about food .We now can choose from a wide variety of hypermarkets and restaurants .
我們第一次不愁吃穿,現在我們可以在高級百貨商店和飯店里有很多選擇.
For the first time ,instead of concerns about a roof to shelter us, many are now buying their own apartments.
我們第一次不愁無屋可住,現在很多人都買了自己的房子.
So ,for whole century , China has regards the opportunity to host the Olympics as a symbol of prosperity and also as a symbol of integration in the international community.
所以整個世紀以來,中國一直把獲得奧林匹克運動會主辦權的機會看作是繁榮的象征和融入國際社會的象征.
That may explain why so many Chinese were moved to tears each time the TV showed our national flag being raised in an Olympic stadium.
這就是為什么每次在電視里看到我們國旗在奧運會場館里升起的時候那么多國人激動得熱淚盈眶的原因了.
Those Olympic achievements illustrate how the Chinese dragon is waking.
那些奧運會的成就足以證明中國這條巨龍已經覺醒了.
Even my young cousin is waking to her responsibility to sacrific precious study time and dirty her hands to see this dream fulfilled .
即使是我的小堂妹也醒悟到自己的責任,所以不惜犧牲自己寶貴的學習時間和不怕弄臟自己的手去實現夢想.
This means that the dragon is ready to find its place among the world's nations:
這意味著巨龍準備好在國際社會中找到適合自己的位置,
and this means that China has gained enough confidence to finally fulfill the dream of hosting an Olympic Games.
意味著中國已經獲得足夠的信心去最終實現主辦奧林匹克運動會的夢想.
Everyone feels overjoyed when a great dream comes true.I will feel very happy today if I can realize my dream:
當一個偉大的夢想實現的時候每個人都會感到欣喜若狂.我會感到很開心如果今天我能實現我的夢想:
to win this competition .The Chinese people will feel rewarded if they can win the bid this July and realize their Olympic dream ,a century-old dream.
贏得這次比賽的勝利.中國人會感覺得到了回報如果他們能夠在今年七月申辦成功,以實現他們的奧林匹克之夢,一個世紀長的夢.
But like all dreams ,you never know the ending until the last minute.
但正如所有的夢想一樣,不到最后一刻誰也不會知道結果.
So , if I am going to add something more to the Beijing bid ,I would simply say :Hey , world ,now is the time to let us JUST DO IT !
所以,如果我要為這次北京申奧添磚加瓦,我會說:世界你好,現在是時候讓我們實現夢想了.
Thank you for dreaming with me !
謝謝你們和我一起夢想!
Rick:Thank you .Contestant number fifteen,I don't think you're working yet ,but what would be your major consideration to choosing a job and why?
里克:謝謝十五號參賽選手.我想你還沒有參加工作,但你選擇工作主要需要考慮什么條件呢,為什么?
Zheng Yin:Thank you very much Rick.Well, I have to be frank with ,with you .
政音:非常感謝里克的提問.我必須坦白地和你們說.
The first thing that jumps into my mind is salary .I'm very frank.What the basic thing a person needs to do in order to survive on this planet is to support himself.
我首先考慮到的事情是薪金.我很坦白.在這個地球上為了生存,一個人最基本的需要就是養活自己.
We need to feed ourselves.We need to keep ourselves warm by buying clothes and we need to entertain ourselves.
我們需要養活自己,我們需要買衣服給自己保暖,我們需要娛樂自己.
All these things need money.So ,if money is not considered in choosing a job ,why the big fuss of finding a job .
所有的這些都需要錢.所以,如果選擇工作不考慮錢的問題,那有什么必要在找工作的時候大驚小怪了.
I can be volunteers.I enjoyed working at a volunteer all the time.I was a volunteer when I was a high school student and I enjoyed caring for old people in the old people 's homes.
我可以成為義務者,我一直喜歡作為一個義務工作者,還在高中的時候我就曾義務去老人家里照顧他們
And I enjoyed playing kids, those kids in the orphanage.So ,money should always be the first thing, but ,actually ,not the most decisive thing I will consider if I choose a job .
還有我喜歡和孩子們一起玩,那些在孤兒院和孩子們一起玩,那些在孤兒院里的小孩子.所以,薪金總是放在第一位的,但實際上,這也不是我選擇工作所考慮的決定性的因素.
The second thing is dreams.Just as I told you ,I 'm talking about dreams today so I will extend my topic today.
第二條就是夢想,正如我先前告訴你們,我今天是在談論夢想,所以我會拓展我的話題.
A person who has no dream is a person who has no soul .And dreams can guide you to the most suitable job in this world.
一個人沒有夢想也就沒有靈魂.在這個世界上夢想可以引導你選擇最適合的工作.
Let me give you an example.Let's take Bill Clinton as an example.He was the former U.S.President.
讓我給你們舉個例子.就讓我們以比爾.克林頓為例吧.我們都知道他是美國前任總統.
We all know that .And when he was still a student,J.F.Kennedy ,one of the most famous Presidents of the United States,visited Arkansas and Bill got a chance to meet Kennedy.
當他還是一個學生的時候,美國最著名的總統之一約翰.肯尼迪拜訪阿肯色州,比爾有個機會跟他會面.
And after that he said ,one day I want to be that man as well. And I will also give you another exampel ,it's a dream of a Chinese man ,that is AngLee,one of the most famous directors in the world .
之后他說,總有一天我也要成為總統.我還想給你們舉另外一個例子,那是一個名叫李安的中國人的夢想,他是世界上著名的導演之一,
And he just won the Best Art Directin Award in this year's Oscar.
他剛剛獲得了今年奧斯卡的"最佳藝術指導".
And ,he had a dream when he was young .At that time ,he used to watch films, foreign films,with Chinese subitiles.
當他年輕的時候曾經擁有一個夢想,那時候,他常常看電影和有中文字幕的西片.
And he said ,one day I'll make a Chinese film with foreign subtitles for the foreigners to watch .
他說過,總有一天我會制作帶外文字的字幕的電影讓外國人觀看,
And he made it when he shot Hidden Dragon ,Crouching Tigers.And I'm very glad for him as well.
他拍的電影<<臥虎藏虎>>實現他的夢想.我同樣也為他感到高興.
So ,we can see that dreams can really make you to choose the most suitable job for yourself.
所以,我們可以看到夢想真的能夠為你選擇最適合你的工作.
And interests and dreams shall always be the most decisive consideration in my choosing for a job .
夢想和興趣總是我選擇工作考慮的最具決定性的條件.
Thirdly ,I'm a practical person and I would also consider geographical location .
第三,我是一個務實的人,我還會考慮工作的地理位置.
Because ,we all know that there are more chances in big cities and a person has greater potential in big cities.
因為我們都知道大城市有更多的機會,一個人在大城市可以得到更好的發展.
So ,for all you guys sitting down there,we know that choosing a job is a hard task ,
對于你們所有在座的朋友們,我們知道選擇工作是一件困難的任務,
it's a mutual process.
那是一個雙向選擇的過程.
It's a process of others choosing you and you choosing others.So ,for you guys sitting down there , and also for myself,
別人選擇你,你也選擇別人.對你和我來說,
let's hope for the best.And don't forget ,prepare for the worst .Good luck to you all.Thank you very much.
讓我們期待最好的工作,但不要忘了做最壞的打算.祝你們好運,非常感謝!
Judge:Thank you very much indeed contestant number fifteen .You told us that that the dragon is waking .
評委:非常感謝十五號參賽選手.你告訴我們巨龍覺醒了.
Judge:And what do you think are the most important things,or perhaps just the most important thing, that the rest of the world has to learn from the waking dragon?
評委:你認為世界其它國家必須要向巨龍學習的最重要的東西是什么?
What has China got to offer to the rest of the world ,many things of course, but what is the most important thing that China can offer to the rest of world ?
中國要為世界其它國家提供的東西很多,但什么才是最重要的呢?
Zheng Yin:Thank you very much for your question ,Ma'am .I think the most important thing Chinese people have to show to the outside world is our development,our development in all respects.
政音:非常感謝這位女士提出的問題.我認為中國人必須向國外顯示我們在各方面的發展成就,這一點是重要的.
I just mentioned that a Chinese film won an Oscar.That's part of our development.And we have developments in economy ,in our scientific field ,and also in many, many things
我剛才提到中國的電影獲得了奧斯卡大獎,這就是成就之一.我們已經在經濟,科技領域取得了很大的發展等等,
with witness around us ,greener land ,bluer water, and highter skyline .
我們身邊的土地更綠了,水更藍了,地平線更高了,這些都可以作證.
But before who don't come to China, they don't know this .So we have to tell them and publicity is very important in this.
但沒來過中國的外國人不知道,我們必須告訴他們,在這方面宣傳就非常重要了.
And also we know that China has survived the financial storm,the worst financial storm in years that hit Asia.
我們都知道中國經歷了幾年前襲擊亞洲的金融風暴,
That Chinese survived it and is now safe and sound economically.And we also have to tell the foreigners this fact.
但中國熬了過來,并且在經濟方面平穩地發展,我們必須告訴外國人這個事實.
And publicity also plays a very important role in this .So ,in all for your quesion ,
在這里,宣傳也扮演一個重要的角色.
I believe as a university student , I don't know many things political .
我認為作為一個大學生,我不懂用很多政治性的東西來回答你的問題,
I don't know these government things, those official things, those actual statistics.
我不知道那些政府和官方的東西,也不知道實際的統計數據.
But ,I believe I witness in these years China's development and I 'd like to tell you the judges, who are most of you foreigners and also people sitting down there,
但是我目睹了這些年來中國的發展,我想告訴評委們,你們大多都是外國朋友和在座的人們,

Have you met someone in your life,just as Bill Clinton met J.F.K.and said I want to be like that person.
你遇到過這樣的朋友,就如克林頓和肯尼迪一樣,你會說我成為這樣或那樣的人嗎?
