Thank you very much. And it is a real pleasure to join you this evening in welcoming Chairman Wu here to Washington. Mr. Chairman, I hope you feel as welcome in our capital city as I did in Beijing earlier this year on my first overseas trip as Secretary of State.
非常感谢各位。今晚能在这里和你们一起欢迎吴委员长访问华盛顿,令我非常高兴。委员长先生,我希望你在我国首都感到备受欢迎,一如我今年早些时候作为国务卿首次出国访问时在北京的感受。
I want to thank Tom and the Chamber and all of the sponsors for hosting this dinner. The range of people and organizations represented here tonight is a testament to the scope and scale of the relationship between China and the United States and its enduring impact across industries, institutions, and borders. We are joined by representatives of business community, the non-profit world, cultural organizations, think tanks, as well as the Congress and the Administration. And I’m delighted to be here with my colleague, the Secretary of Commerce, Gary Locke.
我要感谢汤姆和美国商会以及晚餐会的所有主办方。今晚在座的各界人士和他们所代表的各行各业体现了中美关系的广度和规模,以及这种关系跨产业、跨机构、跨国境的持久影响。今晚在座的除国会议员和本届政府官员外,还有工商界、非营利组织、文化界和智库的代表。我也很高兴能与我的同事商务部长骆家辉(Gary Locke)一起参加晚宴。
