Thank you so much, Carla, and thanks for your leadership in this undertaking as well as so much else. It’s wonderful to be here at the end of two very busy and productive days of the Strategic and Economic Dialogue. Secretary Geithner and I were privileged to co-lead this effort, and we were especially pleased that Vice Premier Wang and State Councilor Dai were our counterparts. We believe that these very productive conversations have helped to lay the foundation for what both President Obama and President Hu called a positive, cooperative, and comprehensive U.S.-Chinese relationship for the 21st century.
非常感谢，卡拉，谢谢你在这项事业和其他众多事务中发挥的领导作用。能在美中战略与经济对话（Strategic and Economic Dialogue）繁忙而富有成果的两天会议结束后来到这里出席晚宴真是令人愉快。盖特纳（Geithner）部长和我十分荣幸地共同主持这一对话，同时，我们也为有王岐山副总理和戴秉国国务委员与我们共同主持对话而感到特别高兴。我们认为，这些极富成果的讨论有助于为发展奥巴马总统和胡锦涛主席所说的21世纪积极合作全面的美中关系奠定基础。
As part of this process, we are enlisting the full range of talent within our governments to tackle problems that spill over not just borders and oceans, but also traditional bureaucratic boundaries, which are sometimes the hardest to overcome, from climate change to trade and investment to poverty and disease.
作为这一进程的一部分，我们充分调动了两国政府内部各方面的杰出人才，以便解决气候变化、贸易投资、贫困与疾病及其他各类棘手问题，这些问题不仅超越各国的国境和海域，也超越了政府各部门之间的传统界线，而这种界线有时最难克服。
Just as no nation today can solve the challenges we face alone, neither can government work in isolation. The issues are just are too varied and complex for that. So engaging the expertise, the experience, and the energy of those outside government – including the private sector, and all of you here tonight – is vital to our future progress.
正如今天没有任何一个国家有能力独自应对我们面临的各种挑战，政府也不能孤立运作，因为需要解决的问题纷繁而复杂。因此，鼓励政府部门以外的人才——包括民营部门的人才和今晚在场的各位——参与，利用他们的专业知识、经验与精力，对取得未来的进展至关重要。
I also am delighted that we are going to have very soon a new ambassador from the United States to China. Governor Huntsman, who will soon be – maybe even confirmed tonight – Ambassador Huntsman, is looking forward to working not only on behalf of our nation’s policies but really representing the American people to the Chinese people.
我也为我们即将有一位新任美国驻华大使而感到高兴。亨茨曼（Huntsman，中文名洪博培）州长，他很快——或许今晚就会被确认——亨茨曼大使不仅期待着为执行我国的政策而工作，而且期待着作为美国人民的代表与中国人民交往。
We want the entrepreneurs and the innovators in both of our countries to know that we’re behind their dreams and their efforts. We want people who are working to solve problems in research labs and on the front lines of innovation to know that we’re looking to support their efforts. Because we think public-private partnerships are a centerpiece of the important work that we are doing to build understanding and create new avenues of cooperation.
我们希望美中两国的企业家和创新者们知道我们支持他们的梦想和努力。我们希望在实验室里努力解决问题的科研人员和工作在创新第一线的人们知道我们一心要支持他们的努力，因为我们认为政府和民间结成的伙伴关系是我们为建立相互了解、开辟新的合作途径所从事的重要工作的核心内容。
Now, I understand that Vice Premier Wang said a few words to you about the Shanghai Expo. (Laughter.) And I want to reinforce his message. The theme for the Expo, “Better City – Better Life,” will present a vision of a sustainable, healthy, and prosperous world in the 21st century. It’s anticipated that more than 70 million people will visit and more than 190 nations will participate. Six months ago, it wasn’t at all clear that the United States would be one of those 190 nations, but thanks to a number of you, we are on track to be able to do so. And I salute Vice Premier Wang for his leadership. He was, as some of you know, the chair of the committee for the Beijing Olympics, so if that is any indication of his organizational acuity, I think we can look forward to a very successful Shanghai Expo. 我明白王岐山副总理刚才就上海世博会（Shanghai Expo）向你们说了几句话。（笑声） 我想加强他要传达的信息。上海世博会的主题，“城市，让生活更美好”（Better City——Better Life），将展现21世纪一个可持续的、健康、繁荣世界的愿景。预期上海世博会将吸引7000多万人参观，190多个国家参展。6个月前，还完全不清楚美国是否会成为这190个国家中的一个。但由于你们中间一些人的努力，我们将能按期参展。我要向王副总理的领导能力致敬。你们中间有些人知道，他是北京奥运会筹委会主席，如果这能表明他的高度组织能力的话，我认为我们可以期待上海世博会取得圆满成功。
And the U.S. National Pavilion will be informative, educational, and interactive, showcasing American ingenuity, looking at how we can address together global challenges like climate change and clean energy, sustainable agriculture, mass transit, health, and economic development. We are delighted that a number of leading American companies such as GE and Pepsico, Chevron, Marriott, Corning, and others have signed on to be part of putting together this visionary pavilion that will showcase much of what is best about our country. There is, actually, a model of the Pavilion somewhere around here that I urge you to take a look at. This is shameless, I know, but that’s part of the job. (Laughter.)
美国国家馆将具有知识性、教育性和互动性，展示美国的独创力，并展望我们如何共同应对气候变化和清洁能源、农业可持续发展、公共交通、健康和经济发展等全球性挑战。我们高兴地看到通用电气公司、百事公司、雪佛龙公司、万豪酒店集团、康宁公司及其他美国大公司已经参与建成这个反映未来远景的展厅的努力，以展示我国的一些精华。而且，这附近就有一个美国馆的模型，我希望你们都去看看。我知道这有点厚脸皮，但这是我工作的一部分。（笑声）
We have formally signed a Participation Contract. We have a U.S. Commissioner General, Jose Villarreal. My Special Representative for Global Partnerships, Elizabeth Bagley, Ambassador Bagley, is here. We have now raised more than half the funds needed to begin construction. I have told both the Vice Premier and the State Councilor that, if necessary, I will personally build it in order to get it ready by the May opening. (Laughter.) Commerce Secretary Gary Locke recently traveled to Shanghai for the Pavilion’s groundbreaking ceremony.
我们已经正式签署参展合同。我们有一位美国展区总代表（U.S. Commissioner General），名叫费乐友（Jose Villarreal）。我任命的负责全球伙伴关系事务的特别代表（Special Representative for Global Partnerships）伊丽莎白·巴格利（Elizabeth Bagley）大使今天在座。我们现已筹集到开工建馆所需资金的一半以上。我已经告诉副总理和国务委员，如果有必要，我本人将亲自参加施工，以确保在五月份开幕前完工。（笑声）商务部长骆家辉（Gary Locke）刚刚到上海出席了美国馆的奠基仪式。
So we are on task, as they say. And Ambassador Bagley, along with her deputy, Special Representative Kris Balderston, are here tonight, obviously more than willing to answer any questions.

因此，如他们所言，我们正在完成任务。巴格利大使和她的副手，特别代表克里斯·鲍尔德斯顿（Kris Balderston）今晚都在座，他们显然非常乐意回答任何问题。
Now, I mention this at some length because we feel very strongly that this partnership between China and the United States for the 21st century needs to be manife
