汉译英  口译教程P185

女士们，先生们：

    今晚各位能出席这个酒会，我们深感荣幸。我谨代表国际贸易协会向各位致以热烈欢迎。欢迎到中国来！欢迎参加这个交易会！

交易会不只是商业活动。它不但促进贸易，而且促进友谊。有机会相互见面并交换看法，这是十分重要的。

在发展对外贸易中，我们坚持“相互尊重，平等互利”的原则。我相信，这一原则有助于发展我们各国独立的民族经济。

我愿借此机会向各位朋友在几年来给予我们的密切合作与热心支持表示衷心的感谢。

现在请允许我提议：为交易会的圆满成功，为我们的友谊与合作，为在座各位的健康，干杯！

答 案

英译汉：

我代表我的同伴，感谢你们为我们所做的一切，我们来到这里以后，一直享受着你们最热情的友谊与款待，而且开诚布公，推心置腹。

虽然我们逗留短暂，但我们仍感收获巨大——不仅在专业上，而且在结交新朋友和开拓友好接触的渠道上都是如此。

 最后，我提议为在座各位女士和先生的健康和幸福干杯！

汉译英：

Ladies and gentlemen,

It’s a great pleasure to have you all here this evening. On behalf of the International Trade Association, I’d like to extend a warm welcome to you all. Welcome to China! Welcome to the Trade Fair!

This fair is more than a business event. It promotes friendship as well as trade. It is important to have an opportunity like this to meet and exchange views with each other.

  In developing foreign trade, we stand for the principle of “mutual respect, equality and mutual benefit”. I believe it will help develop our national economy independently.

  I want to take this opportunity to express my thanks for the close cooperation and kind support our friends have given us over the years.

  Now may I propose a toast: To the success of the Fair! To our friendship an cooperation! To the health of everyone here! Cheers!
