第一篇:2015英女王國宴演講speech
語言點精析:2015英國女王國宴演講
Mr.President,Prince Philip and I are delighted to welcome you and Madame Peng toBuckinghamPalacethis evening.Welcome sb.to(某個地方或者某個場合)記住:英文中沒有welcome sb.to do sth.,你的Chinglish歇歇吧,哈哈!
還有,還有,請注意:彭麻麻不是Mrs.Xi也不是Ms.Xi, 而是突出姓氏,用Madame稱呼,兩性平等體現得淋漓盡致有木有?
Your visit to theUnited Kingdommarks a milestone in this unprecedented year of co-operation and friendship between theUnited KingdomandChina, as we celebrate the ties between our two countries and prepare to take them to ambitious new heights.我經常提及的as好好看看它在女王演講中的作用:給出事實背景!“celebrate”不是真正說要“慶祝”,是一種搭配而已,無需譯出,后面的部分意思就是“我們兩國關系發展良好,今后要將兩國關系推向新的臺階、更高的水平、更上層樓”,“ambitious”是英文的修辭,不需要譯出,記住:不要東施效顰哈,雙語修辭本來就不是機械對等滴!
TheUnited KingdomandChinahave a warm and longstanding friendship.Prince Philip and I recall with great fondness our visit to China almost thirty years ago, where we were privileged to experience your country’s rich history and culture, including the Great Wall, the Forbidden City and the Terracotta Warriors: all unforgettable memories of China’s ancient civilisation.“a warm and longstanding friendship”兩國友誼/友好關系源遠流長,注意形容詞不要總是想著面面俱到!
“recall with great fondness”表態判斷放在后面,“30年前的中國之行給我們留下了美好的回憶”; “your country’s rich history and culture”,親身領略了貴國歷史文化的博大精深/深厚的歷史文化底蘊!下次漢翻英詞窮的時候一定要記得弱化降格,跟女王學習肯定沒錯!“rich history”這種搭配估計你沒見過吧,那就開開眼吧,哈哈!
Yet it wasChina’s desire to shape a new future which captivated us the most.We were struck by the energy and enthusiasm with which China’s leaders were forging ahead with a new and ambitious future for the Chinese people;and I well recall our discussions with the late paramount leader Mr.Deng Xiaoping, who was foremost among these leaders in setting a clear direction for China with his policy of reform.It was also Mr.Deng’s visionary concept of One Country Two Systems which opened the way for the return ofHongKongto Chinese sovereignty under the Sino-British Joint Declaration.“China’s desire to shape a new future which captivated us the most”“不過最引人關注的/我們最感興趣的是中國開創未來的熱切愿望。”
“We were struck by the energy and enthusiasm with which China’s leaders were forging ahead with a new and ambitious future for the Chinese people;”舍棄一些中文里無法對照的形容詞,從寫作高度出發進行翻譯就好了。“為了給中國人民締造一個嶄新、光明的未來,中國領導人殫精竭慮、熱情高漲,深深打動了我們。” “the late paramount leader Mr.Deng Xiaoping, who was foremost among these leaders in setting a clear direction forChinawith his policy of reform.”回歸中文常識背景,不要被英文束縛了手腳。“已故中國國家領導人鄧小平提出了改革開放政策,為中國的發展指明了方向。”
Almost thirty years later, Mr Deng’s vision has borne remarkable fruit.Rapid economic growth and development has transformed the lives of people acrossChinaand lifted hundreds of millions out of poverty: a huge and historic achievement with far reaching positive effects on people’s lives.“transformed the lives of”大大提高了人們的生活水平、人們的生活大為改觀。
I was delighted that my grandson Prince William was able to witness these changes during his first visit toChinaearlier this year.Like myself and Prince Philip, he visited not only your great cities ofBeijingandShanghaibut also the beautifulprovinceofYunnan, and saw at first-hand the strong connections which bind our two countries together, be they in culture, education or business.“saw at first-hand the strong connections which bind our two countries together, be they in culture, education or business.”
“親自見證了我們兩國在文化、教育和商貿領域的密切關系。”動詞處理注意隱藏起來啊,不然又會阻礙你的行文,不是嗎??
Mr.President, the relationship between theUnited KingdomandChinais now truly a global partnership.We have much reason to celebrate the dynamic, growing economic relationship between our countries as well as our success in working together to address pressing international challenges.“We have much reason to celebrate the dynamic, growing economic relationship between our countries as well as our success in working together to address pressing international challenges.”我們兩國經濟關系充滿活力、不斷發展,在應對緊迫的國際問題/全球性挑戰時開展了有效合作,這都值得慶賀。
We have, this year, marked the seventieth anniversary of the foundation of the United Nations.Today the world faces challenges which call for collaboration between the nations: conflict and terrorism;poverty and ill-health;conservation and climate change.As permanent members of the United Nations Security Council, Britain and China are stewards of the rules-based international system, and we have a responsibility to cooperate on these issues which have a direct bearing on the security and prosperity of all our peoples.“stewards of the rules-based international system”維護基于規則的國際體系;詞性變化,千變萬化增張力!
This global partnership is supported by an expanding network of links between the people of our two countries, which are essential in building mutual understanding and friendship, while we welcome the increasing numbers of Chinese tourists, students and business visitors to theUnited Kingdom.“are essential in building mutual understanding and friendship”對增進相互理解、加深友誼至關重要;動詞翻譯也要從寫作的高度出發!“welcome the increasing numbers of Chinese tourists, students and business visitors to the United Kingdom”再次體會welcome!
Mr.President, your visit is a defining moment in this very special year for our bilateral relationship.I am confident that it will serve to highlight the sincerity and warmth of our friendship and to strengthen relations between our countries for many years to come.“a defining moment”重大時刻,具有重要意義;
“will serve to highlight the sincerity and warmth of our friendship”省略動詞,此訪表明了兩國之間真摯的友誼和熱情。
Ladies and Gentlemen, I ask you to rise and drink a toast to the President and Madame Peng and to the people ofChina.

第三篇:英女王登基60周年演講
Most Gracious Sovereign, We Your faithful Commons are honoured to be here to commemorate and celebrate the sixty years of Your reign.We too are pleased to have contributed to the Jubilee Window to be revealed shortly and which will mark this occasion permanently.Time is better preserved in this historic place than in fallible human memory.Time also tells its own story.Sixty years ago, rationing meant rather more than a short wait before the arrival of the latest electronic item.Sixty years ago, Britain had just emerged from a war of an intensity never seen before or since and had slipped into the shadow of the Korean conflict.Sixty years ago, a new “Elizabethan Era” was awaited with enthusiasm tinged with uncertainty about the challenges ahead for the country.If, as Gandhi asserted, “the best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others”, then Your Majesty must have found Yourself countless times over the past six decades.You have dedicated Your life to others.The daily example that You set, mirrored by our courageous armed forces of which You are Commander-in-Chief, is extraordinary.Yet perhaps Your Majesty’s most profound contribution has been to the continuity that has made change manageable.For transformation is inevitably turbulent.It has been Your singular accomplishment, Your unique capacity, to hold together that which could have been torn asunder.You have moved with the times and allowed the times to move around the rest of society.This is a different Britain from 1952 but not one detached from then.We are in so many ways a much bigger, brighter and better United Kingdom.This is a land where men and women today are equal under the law and where Your people are respected, regardless of how they live, how they look or how they love.This is a nation of many races, faiths and customs, now beginning to be reflected in Parliament.All this progress has occurred during Your reign.You have become, to many of us, a kaleidoscope Queen of a kaleidoscope country in a kaleidoscope Commonwealth.This gathering is one of many diverse events across these islands in tribute to You and this great anniversary.Our affection as a nation will rightly embrace the Duke of Edinburgh and other members of Your family.These will be moments striking for the sincerity expressed as much as for the scenery encountered.Sixty years of stability.Sixty years of security.Sixty years of certainty.Sixty years of sacrifice.Sixty years of service.Gandhi also observed that “in a gentle way, you can shake the world”.Your Majesty, in a gentle way You have shaken this United Kingdom and the world for six decades.On behalf of all the members of the House of Commons, may I thank You wholeheartedly for all that You have done, are doing and will do for the good of our country.We, the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, are assembled here today to celebrate sixty years of Your reign.We record with warmth and affection our appreciation of Your dedicated service to Your people, and Your unequalled sense of public duty over the yearsa hall of kings and queens for almost a millennium.While this Hall has seen many historic events, few are permanently commemorated.So we look forward with great anticipation to the unveiling of the stained glass window which members of both Houses have commissioned in honour of this day.When placed in the window above the great doors, Your Coat of Arms and Royal Cypher will bathe the Hall in colour and be seen daily by members and staff as they walk through to their offices—and by the many thousands of visitors we receive here weekly, from both home and abroad.For we must remember that Your Jubilee will be celebrated with joy in Your other realms and territories, and throughout the rest of the Commonwealth.The Commonwealth as we know it today is of course one of the great achievements of Your reign and under Your leadership continues to flourish, with a membership of 54 countries.It is still growing.It is a tremendous force for good in the world and we are aware of its special personal significance to You.Many of us present here today take an active part in the work of the United Kingdom Branch of the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association.We work to share our experiences, to learn from one another, and to promote democracy.But our efforts are as nothing compared with those of Your Majesty in the service of Your beloved Commonwealth.Over the years You have visited all but two Commonwealth countries—some, many times—and attended all Heads of Government meetings since 1997.We look on with admiration and pride at the triumphs of some of Your recent tours and it is significant that members of the Royal Family are representing You this year at the Jubilee celebrations being held in all those lands in which You are Head of State.Your Majesty, the Lords Spiritual and Temporal in Parliament Assembled give thanks for this Your Diamond Jubilee.We look forward to the years to come and we pray that You and Your realms may enjoy the peace, plenty and prosperity that have so distinguished Your reign.'

第五篇:公共演講public speech
Exercise every day
Some of you may get bored when hearing what I’m going to persuade you today.Exercise, something we have been told throughout our life.Most of the college students don’t even take a damn about it.Why do I have to do the time-consuming and energy-wasting thing when I really have much more interesting things to do? What is the meaning of exercising when I’m in perfect condition? Isn't it something exclusive for senior pople?
Well, that is why I’m here---to clarify all your false impressions.Let’s start with what our body need.is just like a working machine, and exercise is the lubricant.Long-time working machines need lubricant to get the gears to move more smoothly, to keep pressure from the friction.Just like our body need exercise to refresh itself, to get more oxygen, to function better.And the refreshment must be provided regularly.As the saying goes Life lies in the movement.If you fail to exercise regularly, there is a possibility that you get some disease out of blue.Rest breeds rust.It’s not a threaten or curse, it is the fact.It may fall on anyone of us.Although the chance is not so high, but if it strikes you, you’re the one hundred percent person who suffers from it.Now that we know what our body need, then we focus on emotional aspect.exercise every day is not just a healthy way of life, it is also a kind of attitude, a method by which you can release what troubles you.Every day, we meet various of things that are less satisfactory.Every day it happens.Nobody dares to say without hesitation that I have had an absolutely perfect day.Those things affect our emotion and make us upset, which is bad for our health.And that makes exercise efficient to get rid of those negative emotions and be happy.It feels good to get tired from exercising.You feel the heartbeat, the gasp and the sweat.Something like every cell in your body has a shower.The most important thing is, you’ll feel better.Therefore, ladies and gentlemen, what are you waiting for? Come and join the exercise group.Don’t focus your eyes on the computer screen when you have energy to exercise.Don’t exercise in the morning when you can do it in the evening.Spare a little time every day, and you’ll get a brand new life.
