高级口译教程第四版Unit1 2

Hello, I'm Robert Brown from Stanford University. I'm very happy to meet you here in this land of wonder.
This is a long-expected trip. All these years I've been looking forward to visiting this great and legendary country, and I feel very honored and pleased that I'll be working with my Chinese colleagues in the head office of your automobile group. As you know, this is my very first visit to China, and I'm here to witness with my own eyes the magical power of the once very remote“Oriental Dragon.”You can imagine how excited I was when I received your invitation to join you in your project. Back in my college days, a professor of Oriental civilization introduced me to the wealth of Confucianism and Taoism, and by doing that he planted in the depths of my mind the inexplicable "China dream".
And I'm even more excited now that I've set foot on the beautiful land of China. I've had my "China dream" for years and I'm here to realize this dream. Just chink this charming cosmopolitan city is going to be my home for the remaining days of the year! There's so much to learn about this mysterious country, from the ancient civilization to the current reform. I'm really looking forward to my Chinese life.
I'll maximize this opportunity to learn as much as I can and make as many friends as I can. I promise I'll become a real expert on China in no time.
Of course, I'll work closely with my Chinese colleagues on my Chinese colleagues on projects, through which I believe I'll realize my " China dream " in the most rewarding direction.
