Good afternoon ,ladies and gentlemen.Today I 'm gonna talk about dreams .everybody has a dream.
女士们,先生们,下午好.今天我准备谈论一下梦想.人人都拥有一个梦想.
Martin Luthe King had a dream-and we can all recall his Civil Rights Speech.
马丁.路德金拥有一个梦想-我们都能回忆起他的民权演讲.
Phil Knight had a dream-and now the whole world knows his Nike slogan;"Just Do it ."
菲尔.奈特拥有一个梦想-整个世界都知道他的耐克口号"做就行".
China also has a dream , an Olympic dream.
中国也有一个梦想,一个奥林匹克梦.
A hundred years ago,a newspaper in Tianjin,carried an article about China's Olympic dream.
一百年前,天津的一家报纸有一篇关于中国的奥林匹克梦的文章,
Three challenging questions were raised .The first ,when can China send a team to the Olmpics?
在当中提出了三个具有挑战性的问题.第一个是中国什么时候才能派支队伍参加奥林匹克运动会?
The second, when can China win an Olympic gold medal?And the third,when can China host an Olympic Games?
第二个是中国什么时候才能获得奥林匹克运动会的金牌.而第三个是中国什么时候才能举办奥林匹克运动会.
As you all know , our country has answered the first two .
众所周知,我国已经回答了前面两个问题.
China sent its first team nearly 70 years ago and won the first gold medal in the 84 Los Angeles Games .
中国早在七十年前已派出第一支队伍参赛,另在一九八四年洛杉矶奥运会获得了第一金牌.
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.
从那时候以来我们一直希望能够答复第三个问题.今年年初,中国开始了最后一轮申请主办二零零八奥林匹克运动会.
Our passion is to realize the last part of our Olympic dream.
我们的热情是去实现我们奥林匹克之梦的最后一部分.
That dream guided our first bid eight years ago .No Chinese will soon forget the disappiontment when it burst!
八年以前奥林匹克之梦指引我们作了第一次申办.中国人不会马上忘记当梦想破灭时候的失望!
However, China's commitment to the Olympic movement has revied the dream.
不过,中国对奥林匹克运动会的承诺使梦复活了.
As you know ,China increased its participation in Sydney and bought home unparalleled success with 28 gold medals.
大家都知道,中国增加了其在悉尼奥运会的参赛项目并以二十八枚金牌取得空前的胜利.
In the past eight years,China has spared no efforts to host internatinal sporting events and creat a green environment for our Olympic dream.
在过去八年里, 中国一直不遗余力去主办国际运动大赛,同时为我们的奥林匹克之梦创造一个绿色环境.
It seems everyone is now trying to contribute to our green Olympic bid.
似乎现在每个人都在努力为我们的申办奥林匹克运动会做贡献.
Even my twelve-year-old cousin from Beijing is doing her part.
甚至我来自北京的十二岁的堂妹都在贡献她的那一分力量.
When she visited my hometown during the Spring Festival ,she proudly told me that she is part of the "Green Angles Campaign"these days.
当她春节拜访我故乡的时候,她自豪地告诉我这些日子她是"绿色的天使活动"的成员.
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.
然后就好像在会议上作宣告一样,她宣称自己每个星期天都加入绿色天使小组,花两个小时去公园捡垃圾.
I felt dubious , because I know she seldom does anything at home with her "tender little hands," let along collecting litter!
我感到很怀疑,因为我知道她在家里很少用她"娇嫩的小手"去做家务,更不用说去捡垃圾了.
However ,her parents confirmed and supported their daughter's efforts.
然而她的父母亲都证实了她的说法并支持她的努力.
Beyond the recent personal involvement ,our whole country has for many years been laying foundations for this vision .
不谈论目前个人的问题,很多年以来我们的整个国家一直在为这个梦想打基础.
We are the most populous nation of our global village .Yet in the past two decades, we have made great social and economic progress.
我们是全世界人口最多的国家,然而在过去的二十年来,我们已经取得了伟大的社会进步和经济进步.
For the first time ,instead of worrying about food .We now can choose from a wide variety of hypermarkets and restaurants .
我们第一次不愁吃穿,现在我们可以在高级百货商店和饭店里有很多选择.
For the first time ,instead of concerns about a roof to shelter us, many are now buying their own apartments.
我们第一次不愁无屋可住,现在很多人都买了自己的房子.
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.
所以整个世纪以来,中国一直把获得奥林匹克运动会主办权的机会看作是繁荣的象征和融入国际社会的象征.
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.
这就是为什么每次在电视里看到我们国旗在奥运会场馆里升起的时候那么多国人激动得热泪盈眶的原因了.
Those Olympic achievements illustrate how the Chinese dragon is waking.
那些奥运会的成就足以证明中国这条巨龙已经觉醒了.
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责任,所以不惜牺牲自己宝贵的学习时间和不怕弄脏自己的手去实现梦想.
This means that the dragon is ready to find its place among the world's nations:
这意味着巨龙准备好在国际社会中找到适合自己的位置,
and this means that China has gained enough confidence to finally fulfill the dream of hosting an Olympic Games.
意味着中国已经获得足够的信心去最终实现主办奥林匹克运动会的梦想.
Everyone feels overjoyed when a great dream comes true.I will feel very happy today if I can realize my dream:
当一个伟大的梦想实现的时候每个人都会感到欣喜若狂.我会感到很开心如果今天我能实现我的梦想:
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.
赢得这次比赛的胜利.中国人会感觉得到了回报如果他们能够在今年七月申办成功,以实现他们的奥林匹克之梦,一个世纪长的梦.
But like all dreams ,you never know the ending until the last minute.
但正如所有的梦想一样,不到最后一刻谁也不会知道结果.
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,如果我要为这次北京申奥添砖加瓦,我会说:世界你好,现在是时候让我们实现梦想了.
Thank you for dreaming with me !
谢谢你们和我一起梦想!
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:谢谢十五号参赛选手.我想你还没有参加工作,但你选择工作主要需要考虑什么条件呢,为什么?
Zheng Yin:Thank you very much Rick.Well, I have to be frank with ,with you .
政音:非常感谢里克的提问.我必须坦白地和你们说.
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.
我首先考虑到的事情是薪金.我很坦白.在这个地球上为了生存,一个人最基本的需要就是养活自己.
We need to feed ourselves.We need to keep ourselves warm by buying clothes and we need to entertain ourselves.
我们需要养活自己,我们需要买衣服给自己保暖,我们需要娱乐自己.
All these things need money.So ,if money is not considered in choosing a job ,why the big fuss of finding a job .
所有的这些都需要钱.所以,如果选择工作不考虑钱的问题,那有什么必要在找工作的时候大惊小怪了.
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.
我可以成为义务者,我一直喜欢作为一个义务工作者,还在高中的时候我就曾义务去老人家里照顾他们
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 .
还有我喜欢和孩子们一起玩,那些在孤儿院和孩子们一起玩,那些在孤儿院里的小孩子.所以,薪金总是放在第一位的,但实际上,这也不是我选择工作所考虑的决定性的因素.
The second thing is dreams.Just as I told you ,I 'm talking about dreams today so I will extend my topic today.
第二条就是梦想,正如我先前告诉你们,我今天是在谈论梦想,所以我会拓展我的话题.
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.
一个人没有梦想也就没有灵魂.在这个世界上梦想可以引导你选择最适合的工作.
Let me give you an example.Let's take Bill Clinton as an example.He was the former U.S.President.
让我给你们举个例子.就让我们以比尔.克林顿为例吧.我们都知道他是美国前任总统.
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.
当他还是一个学生的时候,美国最著名的总统之一约翰.肯尼迪拜访阿肯色州,比尔有个机会跟他会面.
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 .
之后他说,总有一天我也要成为总统.我还想给你们举另外一个例子,那是一个名叫李安的中国人的梦想,他是世界上著名的导演之一,
And he just won the Best Art Directin Award in this year's Oscar.
他刚刚获得了今年奥斯卡的"最佳艺术指导".
And ,he had a dream when he was young .At that time ,he used to watch films, foreign films,with Chinese subitiles.
当他年轻的时候曾经拥有一个梦想,那时候,他常常看电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 .
他说过,总有一天我会制作带外文字的字幕的电影让外国人观看,
And he made it when he shot Hidden Dragon ,Crouching Tigers.And I'm very glad for him as well.
他拍的电影<<卧虎藏虎>>实现他的梦想.我同样也为他感到高兴.
So ,we can see that dreams can really make you to choose the most suitable job for yourself.
所以,我们可以看到梦想真的能够为你选择最适合你的工作.
And interests and dreams shall always be the most decisive consideration in my choosing for a job .
梦想和兴趣总是我选择工作考虑的最具决定性的条件.
Thirdly ,I'm a practical person and I would also consider geographical location .
第三,我是一个务实的人,我还会考虑工作的地理位置.
Because ,we all know that there are more chances in big cities and a person has greater potential in big cities.
因为我们都知道大城市有更多的机会,一个人在大城市可以得到更好的发展.
So ,for all you guys sitting down there,we know that choosing a job is a hard task ,
对于你们所有在座的朋友们,我们知道选择工作是一件困难的任务,
it's a mutual process.
那是一个双向选择的过程.
It's a process of others choosing you and you choosing others.So ,for you guys sitting down there , and also for myself,
别人选择你,你也选择别人.对你和我来说,
let's hope for the best.And don't forget ,prepare for the worst .Good luck to you all.Thank you very much.
让我们期待最好的工作,但不要忘了做最坏的打算.祝你们好运,非常感谢!
Judge:Thank you very much indeed contestant number fifteen .You told us that that the dragon is waking .
评委:非常感谢十五号参赛选手.你告诉我们巨龙觉醒了.
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?
评委:你认为世界其它国家必须要向巨龙学习的最重要的东西是什么?
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 ?
中国要为世界其它国家提供的东西很多,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:非常感谢这位女士提出的问题.我认为中国人必须向国外显示我们在各方面的发展成就,这一点是重要的.
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
我刚才提到中国的电影获得了奥斯卡大奖,这就是成就之一.我们已经在经济,科技领域取得了很大的发展等等,
with witness around us ,greener land ,bluer water, and highter skyline .
我们身边的土地更绿了,水更蓝了,地平线更高了,这些都可以作证.
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.
但没来过中国的外国人不知道,我们必须告诉他们,在这方面宣传就非常重要了.
And also we know that China has survived the financial storm,the worst financial storm in years that hit Asia.
我们都知道中国经历了几年前袭击亚洲的金融风暴,
That Chinese survived it and is now safe and sound economically.And we also have to tell the foreigners this fact.
但中国熬了过来,并且在经济方面平稳地发展,我们必须告诉外国人这个事实.
And publicity also plays a very important role in this .So ,in all for your quesion ,
在这里,宣传也扮演一个重要的角色.
I believe as a university student , I don't know many things political .
我认为作为一个大学生,我不懂用很多政治性的东西来回答你的问题,
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东西,也不知道实际的统计数据.
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,
但是我目睹了这些年来中国的发展,我想告诉评委们,你们大多都是外国朋友和在座的人们,

Have you met someone in your life,just as Bill Clinton met J.F.K.and said I want to be like that person.

Who have you met in your life ,and you've said to yourself,I want to be like that person?And ,why ?
