3、My own association with the Beijing Games began with Beijings bid. For me, and for a number of Australians, the opportunity to support and assist the bid was far more than simply an interesting professional exercise. It was an opportunity to do something important. / We believed then, and we believe
4、 now, that hosting the biggest and best people-to-people event on the worlds calendar will give further momentum to the process of modernization in China and the friendly integration of China with the world community. The purpose of the Games is of course not geopolitical; it is to conduct a celebra

6、can and do leave a wider and powerful legacy. / So it will be for China in 6 years time. The legacy will in part be of a tangible kindworldclass venues and other civic buildings, the Olympic Green, increased trade, investment and business relationships. Beijings plans for these tangible legacies are
7、 impressive both in their ambition and in the determination of the organizers to bring them to fruition. But perhaps even more important in the long run will be the intangible legacy of the 2008 games. I refer here to the heightened consciousness of the importance of the environment, already a high
8、national priority in China but one which is certain to be reinforced by the commitment to the Green Games. / An enduring memory for me from the days of the Beijing bid is the sheer delight of people in China, especially young people, at having the chance to play host to athletes, officials and visit
9、ors from around the world, to welcome them to China, to show them China and to build new friendships. International relations are not only about the conduct of political and economic affairs between governments and businesses. It must also be underpinned by the sort of deep international understandi

You have very lucidly provided the context for what I am about to say this morning. Its a great honor to be invited to speak
13、 in this historic setting.

The

Many experts tell us the question is not whether, but how soon, the two will be combined and we see, for example, a “dirty bomb“ detonated in central London, or some other major capital. The loss of life would be shocking, but as nothing to
17、 the social and economic effects. Disruption would be felt not only here but around the world. / Millions in Asia, Africa and Latin America would lose their livelihoods, because of the impact on the world economy. People in those parts of the world already face many other, more immediate threatshung

28、政治性的，而是要举行一次体育与文化的庆典。但是，两次举办奥运会的经验告诉我们，奥运会可以也一定会留下更加丰富和伟大的遗产。 1956年的墨尔本奥运会让澳大利亚在历史上第一次为欢迎全世界友人的到来而欢庆。 2000年的悉尼奥运会让我们有 机会向世界展示现代澳大利亚的活力。 / 所以，六年后将是中国的机会。这笔遗产的一部分是有形的，包括世界级水准的会场及其他城市建筑的建设，奥林匹克绿地的修建，以及贸易、投资和商业往来的增加。北京为实现这些有形遗产所作的规划令人赞叹，不仅表现在他们雄心勃勃的目标上，而且表现在组织者为实现目标而下的决心上。然而，从长远看， 2008奥运会的无形遗产也许将更为重要。这里
29、我指的是重视环保意识的提高。中国虽然已将其列为国家的首要任务，但还要通过承诺举办绿色奥运来予以加强。 / 我一直记得，从北京申奥那时起 ，中国人民，特别是年轻人就十分高兴能有机会作为东道主欢迎来自世界各地的运动员、官员及来访者，向来宾们展示中国并与他们建立新的友谊。国际关系不仅限于政府间的政治交往和企业间的经济往来。它还必须以国家间的深厚理解为基础，而这一理解只有从各国人民之间越来越紧密的关系中才能获得。 / 奥林匹克运动会是人类创造的体现国际主义的最成功且最受欢迎的形式。在这些辉煌的日子里，我们将展现自己如何尽全力超越国界、种族和宗教的差异，真正拥有将人类团结在一起的共同的价值。十三亿人民将

31、些威胁的方式达成一致，则我们尚有唯一的机会去建设一个对全球居民来说都将更安全、更公平和更自由的世界。我想，你们从上星期举行的伦敦七国财长会议中对这一机会可见一斑。当时会议令人欣慰地强调了抗击全球贫困的措施和实现千年发展目标之事宜。/ 我所指的是什么样的威胁呢 ?最显而易见的是恐怖主义和大规模杀伤性武器。许多专家告诉我们，现在的问题不在于这两者是否会结合，而在于它们会在多短的时间内结合棗比如说多久之后我们将看到在伦敦市中心，或 在别的主要首都城市一颗“肮脏炸弹 ”被引爆。人员伤亡将会令人震惊，但较之对社会和经济造成的影响则又显得微不足道。不仅当地，而且全世界都会感到它的破坏。 / 亚洲、非洲和拉

33、免受恐怖主义和大规模毁灭性武器以及贫穷、饥饿和疾病这两大类威胁。如果我们同时对付这两类威胁，那么我们就能确保任何人，无论是在南半球还是北半球，富国还是穷国，都不会感到被落下，每个人都将感到执行这一整套改革势在必行。 / 二、 PART 2 Chinese-English Translation (50 points, 30 minutes) Interpret the following passages from Chinese into English.
