布什总统清华演讲

　　President Bush gives a speech at Tsinhua University

　　Vice President Hu,thank you very much for your kind and generous remarks. Thank you for welcoming me and my wife , laura, here.

　　I see she is keeping pretty good company with the Secretary of State, Collin Powell.

　　It is good to see you, Mr. Secretary.

　　And I see my National Security Adviser, Ms.Codoleezza Rice, who once was the provost of Stanford University, so she is comfortable on the university campuses such as this.

　　Thank you for being here ,Codin.

　　I am so grateful for the hospitality and honored for the reception at one of China’s and the world’s great universities.

　　The standards and the reputation of this university are known around the world, and I know what an achievement it is to be here. So congratulations.

　　My visit to China comes an important anniversary, as the vice president mentioned.Thirty years ago this week an American president arrived in China on an trip designed to end decades of estrangement and confront centuries of suspicious. President Richard Nixon showed that two vastly different government could meet on the grounds of common interests in the spirit of mutual respect.

　　As they left the airport that day, Premier Zhou En-Lai said this to President Nixon: “you handshake came over the vastest ocean in the world-25years of no communication.

　　During the 30 years since, America and China have exchanged many handshakes of friendship and commerce. And as we have had more contact with each other ,the citizens of both countries have gradually learned more about each other.

　　It was my honor to visit China in 1975.Some of you were not even born then. It shows how old I am.

　　And a lot has changed in your country since then. China has made amazing progress in openness and enterprise and economic freedom. And this progress previews China’s great potential. China has joined the World Trade Organization, and as you live up to its obligations, they inevitably will bring changes to Chinese leagal system. A morden China will have a consistent rule of law to govern commerce and secure the rights of its people.

　　The new China you generation is building will need the profound wisdom of your traditions. The lure of materialism challenges society in our country- and in many successful countries.

　　All these changes will lead to a stronger, more confident China, a China that can astonish and enrich the world, a China that you generation will help create.

　　This is one of the mose exciting times in the history of your country, a time when even the grandest hopes seem in your reach. My nation offers you our respect and our friendship.

　　Six years from now, athletes from America and all around the world will come to you country for the Olympic Games, and I am confident they will find a China that is becoming a Daguo, a leading nation, at peace with its people and at peace with the world.

　　我发现她和国务卿科林。鲍威尔先生相处的非常好。

　　很高兴看到你国务卿先生。

　　我也看到了我的国家安全顾问康多莉萨.赖斯女士，她曾经是斯坦福大学的校长，因此她回到校园是再合适不过了。

　　谢谢你能来，康迪。

　　非常感谢各位对我的热情接待，很荣幸能够来到中国，甚至是世界最伟大的学府之一。

　　清华大学的治学标准和声望闻名于世，我也知道能考入这所大学本身就是一个很大的成就，祝贺你们。
