On the basis of (in the spirit of) equality and friendship, we will exchange views on extensive cooperation and the establishment of a new Asia-Europe partnership (a new partnership between Asian and Europe.) leaders, not presidents; country and nation, which is better? Country: one of the political and economic units of the world; nation: an individual country considered together with its social and political structures. restructuring Exchange views: compare notes/ interchange opinions 【评析：汉译英中的望文生义： 二百五 foolish 借东风 to make full use of favourable conditions 马大哈 careless 老王卖瓜 to boast oneself 狗咬吕洞宾 can not discriminate good people】 3 这是一次具有历史意义的开拓性的会议。它反映了欧亚国家希望获得世界 和平与发展、希望各洲之间进行交流与合作的共同愿望。共同努力 concerted efforts This is a historic pioneering meeting (a pioneering meeting of historic significance). It is a historic meeting of pioneering nature. It mirrors the common desire of Asian and European nations for world peace and development as well as inter-continental exchanges and cooperation/collaboration. as well as 它显示了亚洲的增长，表明了整个国际关系的巨大变化，标志着多极化的 发展趋势。 It shows/indicates/marks/signals the growth of Asia, the great/tremendous changes in the international relations as a whole, and represents the developmental trend towards multi-polarity. 我深信这次会议将对形成一个新的世界格局产生积极的影响。 我愿借此机 会向成功主办了这次会议的泰国政府表示衷心的感谢。 I firmly believe/ I am convinced that the meeting will exert a positive influence on the shaping of a new world pattern. I would like to take this opportunity to express my heartfelt gratitude to the Thai government for successfully sponsoring the meeting. 建立一个新的亚欧伙伴关系要求我们有新的观念和新的方法。回顾过去， 展望未来，我认为一个新的亚欧伙伴关系必须建筑在相互尊重和平等互利的基 础上。 To establish a new Asia-Europe partnership requires (calls for) us to have new concepts and methods. Reviewing the past and previewing the future, I find that the new Asia-Europe partnership must be established/built on the basis of mutual respect, equality and mutual benefit. 我们应该求同存异，增进相互理解和信任，消除贸易歧视，反对贸易制裁， 加强技术交流与合作。 We should seek common ground while disregarding/overlooking/ setting aside/putting aside/reserving/ preserving differences, 委婉说法 promote mutual understanding and trust, eliminate/remove trade discrimination, refrain from trade sanctions and increase / strengthen technical exchanges and cooperation. 【评析：汉语和英语都有委婉的说法，汉语如死，可以说走了，去了，见 4 马克思了等，英语也有类似情况，如 pass away, kick the bucket, to go to heaven etc. 比方说，船家忌说“沉” 、 “翻” 、 “扣”等词语，在饭桌上不说把鱼“翻” 过来，而说把鱼“顺”过来。又如，广州话中“舌”与蚀本的“蚀”同音，因 此广州人把猪舌、牛舌、鸭舌都说成“猪利、牛利、鸭利” 。 美国社会的黑人过去同样处于被压迫、受歧视的地位，以前人们称之为 “Negro or Nigger(黑鬼)” ，后来逐渐改为“black people(黑人)” ，到今天，人们 委婉地称之为“African American(非洲美国人)” ，没有一点蔑视的味道。 在海湾战争中，为了削减战争的恐怖程度，当时的布什政府使用了 air operation (空中手术) 和 ground operation（地面手术）等委婉语，其真正的意义 是空中打击和地面战争。Inappropriate actions on the prisoners： abuse of POW】 为了增进相互理解和信任，亚洲和欧洲应该扩大和增加政治对话。就我们 而言，我们愿意看到欧盟在一体化进程中前进，愿意看到欧盟保持独立和开放。 To promote mutual understanding and trust, Asia and Europe should increase political dialogs between them. As far as we are concerned, we would like to see that the EU advances in the process of integration and we would also like to see that the EU remains independent and open. 另一方面，我们希望欧洲理解亚洲国家在保持政治稳定的同时，促进经济发 展、扩大区域合作的意愿，支持亚洲国家为此所作的努力。 On the other hand, we hope Europe can understand the Asian nations desire to maintain political stability while promoting economic development and expanding regional cooperation. We also hope that Europe can support the Asian countries efforts to achieve this goal. 我们准备增进与亚洲国家和欧洲国家的合作。我们已对外貌进行了重大的改 革，制订了一套相关的法律。我们已将关税从 23%降低到 17%， 最终还要降 低到发展中国家的平均水平。 We are ready/willing to increase(enhance/ extend/further) our cooperation with Asian and European nations. We have conducted (carried out/launched) significant reforms in our foreign trade system and formulated (enacted/issued/promulgated) a set of relevant laws. Our tariff level have dropped to 17 percent from 23 percent. 【评析：汉语词汇的搭配能力强，比较随意，改革可以同外贸搭配，在英语 中添加 system, 更通顺，符合英语表达；reform in foreign trade is OK.】 我相信中国的改革开放和稳定会给亚欧国家的商业界带来可观的投资和贸易 良机，从而为亚洲乃至全世界的和平、稳定与繁荣作出积极的贡献。 I believe that Chinas reform, opening and social stability will bring the business circles of the Asian and European countries considerable investment and good trading opportunities, thus, making positive contributions to peace, stability and prosperity in Asia and even (in) the whole world. 5 （未完，结束语由学生猜测，可用英语或汉语讲出） 。 让我们为本届会议的圆满结束而共同努力。Let us make concerted efforts to ensure a successful completion of the meeting.
