中英对照:习近平在美国总统特朗普举行的欢迎宴会上的祝酒辞 [2]

Toast Remarks by H.E. Xi Jinping President of the People’s Republic of China At the State Dinner Hosted by T.H. Donald J. Trump President of the United States of America [2]

20多年前,一位名叫赛考斯的美国人资助中国治沙人殷玉珍种树。不久前,这位老人回到中国,亲眼看到当年的沙漠已经变成一片郁郁葱葱的森林。这个故事感动了许多中国民众,也是中美两国人民友好交往的范例。
Over 20 years ago, an American named Ronald Sakolsky gave financial support to Yin Yuzhen, a Chinese desert control worker, for her tree-planting effort. Just recently, Ronald, now an elderly man, returned to China. He saw with his own eyes that the desert back then had turned into a lush forest. This story touches the hearts of many Chinese people and stands as a shining example of the friendly exchanges between our two peoples.
中美人文交流有利于促进两国人民心灵沟通,为中美友好合作厚植了民意基础。
Exchanges have helped promote heart-to-heart communication between our people and cemented public support for Sino-U.S. friendship and cooperation.
女士们、先生们、朋友们!
Ladies and Gentlemen, Dear Friends,
温故而知新。今天,中美关系又站在新的历史起点上。特朗普总统提出让美国再次伟大,带领美国人民取得了重要发展成就。中国正致力于实现中华民族伟大复兴,中国式现代化建设不断开创了新局面。这两个目标都很宏伟,完全可以相互成就。我们应当展现大国担当,顺应人民期盼和时代大势,探索一条大国正确相处的新路。
Reviewing the past gives us new perspectives. Today, we have come to another historic juncture for China-U.S. relations. President Trump has pledged to make America great again and led the American people in making significant strides. China is committed to achieving great national rejuvenation, and Chinese modernization has kept breaking new ground. These two goals are both ambitious and can surely be mutually reinforcing. China and the United States must act as responsible major countries, meet the expectations of our peoples, keep pace with the trend of our times, and explore a new approach for major countries to get along with each other.
历史长河奔流不息,中美两国人民友好事业前景广阔。让我们携手并进,共同浇灌中美友谊的美丽花朵,共同书写中美友好的崭新篇章。
Like a river that never stops flowing, history never stands still. The friendship between the two peoples is a worthy cause that holds great promise. Let us join hands and move forward side by side. Together, let us nurture the beautiful flowers of Sino-U.S. friendship. Together, let us write a new chapter in our friendly relations.
我提议:
Now, I would like to propose a toast:
为特朗普总统和梅拉尼娅女士健康,
To the health of President and Mrs. Trump;
为中美两国繁荣进步,
To the prosperity and progress of China and the United States; and
为两国人民友谊,
To the friendship between our two peoples.
干杯!
Cheers!
