Unit One Reception

Passage 2

原文：

Hello, I’m Robert Brown form 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 Chinase 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 think 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 Ican 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 our research projects, through which I believe I’ll realize my “China dream” in the most rewarding direction.

译文：

您好！我是来自斯坦福大学的罗伯特·布朗。我很高兴在这个充满奇观的国家与您见面。

这是我期盼已久的旅程。多年来我一直期待着能够访问这个美丽传奇的国家，同时我为自己能够在贵汽车工业集团的总部所在地与中国同事合作共事而深感荣幸和愉快。您知道这是我第一次访问归国，来这里亲眼目睹对我来说曾经是非常遥远的“东方巨龙”的风采，领略其神奇的魅力。您可以想象当我收到您邀请我前往中国与您共事的信后是多么的激动。我大学时期有一位教东方文明史的教授，他使我对博大精深的中国儒家思想和道家学说有所了解，同时也使我萌生了一种难以言表的“中国梦”。

自从踏上中国这片美丽的国土后，我的心情更为激动。我这么多年来魂牵梦绕的中国之旅竟然可以实现。可不是吗？我在年内都能以这座迷人的国际大都市为家，真是棒极了。关于这个神秘之国我想了解的东西真是太多了，从古老的文明到当代的改革，这一切我都想知道，我期盼着能尽快开始我的中国生活。

我要充分利用这次机会尽可能多了解中国，多交一些朋友。相信我，不久我便会成为一名“中国通”的。

当然咯，我一定会与中国同事密切合作，尽力搞好我们的研究项目。我认为这样做能最有成效的实现我的“中国梦”。
