三、真题练习

1、练习1

尊敬的新西兰贵宾，女士们、先生们，我能在此为新西兰贵宾主持隆重的欢迎仪式深感荣幸和愉快。中国和新西兰相距遥远，但两国人民长期以来一直友好交往。这些年里，我们在政治、经济、文化、教育领域进行了真诚的、卓有成效的合作。
Distinguished guests from New Zealand, ladies and gentlemen, I feel honored and pleased to be here to preside over this grand welcome ceremony for the honorable New Zealand guests. It's true that it's a long way from China to New Zealand, but the peoples from the two nations have long been friendly to each other. During the years, we have conducted sincere and fruitful co-operations in the fields of politics,  economy,  culture,  education and so on.

随着两国人民之间交往的日趋频繁，我，作为一名中国学者，有机会多次访问新西兰，在那儿学习，讲学和交流。新西兰美丽的自然风景、充足的阳光和宜人的气候、安静舒适的学习环境以及和蔼友善的人民给我留下了深刻的印象。

With more and more exchanges between the two peoples, I,  as a Chinese scholar, have had opportunities to visit New Zealand many times, studying, lecturing and exchanging ideas. I'm deeply impressed by her beautiful scenery,  plenty of sunshine, agreeable climate, quiet and comfortable study environment,  as well as its people who are kind and friendly.

2、练习2

尊敬的代表们、女士们、先生们：我很高兴能代表新西兰政府欢迎各位来到新西兰政治文化金融中心。值此第二届环境保护部长级非正式会议召开之际，我想对你们所有的人，尊敬的代表们和相关国际环保组织的代表们，表示最热诚的问候。

Distinguished delegates, Ladies and Gentlemen,  on behalf of New Zealand, I take the pleasure in welcoming you to the cultural, administrative, economic and financial center of New Zealand. I would like to extend my warmest greeting to all of you, delegates and representatives of international organizations involved in environmental protection,  upon the opening of the Second Informal Meeting of the Environment Ministers.

3、练习3

我为能在此设宴招待威廉斯副总统及夫人以及其他贵宾而深感荣幸和愉快。我愿借此机会向各位来宾表示热烈的欢迎。我此时的心情可以用孔子《论语》中的一句话来表达，"有朋自远方来，不亦乐乎？"

It is my privilege and great pleasure to hold this banquet in honor of Vice President and Mrs. Williams and other distinguished guests. I would avail myself of this opportunity to extend my warm welcome to you all. A remark in "The Anlects" of Confucius best expresses what I feel now. "It is such a delight that I have friends visiting from afar!"
