第一篇：讀后感永遠的第一夫人

永遠的第一夫人

——《宋美齡傳》讀后感 一直以來很喜歡人物傳記，特別是那些中國歷史上的奇女子，他們就像是一塊塊美玉，裝點了男性為主導的半壁江山。在男尊女卑的社會里，一個弱女子想要闖出自己的一片天，那要比男人付出百倍的努力，西漢的竇太后是這樣，唐代的武則天是這樣，清代的慈禧是這樣，民國的陸小曼也是這樣。帶著對這些奇女子的崇拜之情，我又讀了一本在中國、甚至在全世界都留下了濃墨重彩的女強人的故事，有關于宋家的第二個“第一夫人”——《宋美齡傳》。

讀這本書，你看不出是一本專門為宋美齡做的傳記，因為全書涉及到的人物太多，作者用了很多篇幅去交代她的家庭，以及與之相關的人際關系網。這是從一個大的背景去講述一個人物的經歷，不僅使人物更加鮮活，也更容易讓讀者去感受在當時的時代背景下一個人價值觀、道德觀形成的必然性，這樣我們也不會再用片面的眼光去判斷一個人好還是不好，而是更為客觀公正的去了解他們的世界。

都說“父母是孩子最好的導師”，我認為這句話用在宋美齡的身上一點都沒錯，父親宋耀如不僅是一個成功的商人，而且是一個眼光開闊的明世人，他早年在國外學習的經歷造就了他思想解放、自信、堅毅的性格，同時他還是一個極具慈善心的傳教士，虔誠的基督教徒。而她的母親則是一個端莊、賢惠、有主見的女子，在要求女人都是“三寸金蓮”的年代，她就逆世俗，長著一雙天足；都說舊社會的女子都遵從“父母之命，媒妁之言”，但她卻勇敢地追求自己的幸福。他們結婚生子后，更是建立起了良好的家規(guī)，不僅使六個子女得到良好的教育，而且給他們建立起了男女平等，文明進步的人生觀，這對后來宋家六個兄弟姐妹都成為中國近代政治上、經濟上響當當的人物做了良好的鋪墊。

當然在宋美齡的一生中對其重要的人還有很多，大姐宋靄齡對其影響是極大的，對于敢愛敢恨，高傲霸道的“小燈籠”來說，只要是大姐的話她都言聽計從；而對于二姐宋慶齡由于兩個人在性格、人生觀上的差異，她們有過爭吵，甚至是決裂，但作為同流宋家血脈的姐妹，到了晚年她們心中的堅冰也慢慢融化，“血濃于水”的親情，在大人物的心中也深深浸潤著中國生生不息的宗族觀。當然不得不提的還有她的丈夫——蔣介石，從戀愛，到結婚，到跟隨他左右，做好他的賢內助，書中都有很詳細的記載，有人說他們之間沒有愛情，僅僅是政治利益的結合，但是我卻在戰(zhàn)火硝煙中感受到一份最樸實，無言，相互扶持的愛。可能他們的政治光芒都太耀眼了，以至于他們的愛情在我們看來就是微不足道的了，但是沒有愛情，我覺得這份記載的歷史也太過蒼白。

縱觀全書，宋美齡一生大致分三個階段，年幼留學--外交家--淚灑太平洋，她以美雅嬌小的姿態(tài)，敢于冒險的精神，成為國際舞臺上縱橫風云的外交天才；同時，她是“狠毒的心腸卻戴著微笑的面具”，是垂簾聽政的秘書，但作為女性，我們從她身上看到更多的是做一個溫柔，善解人意的妻子；作為軍人，她，勇敢，智謀，處變不驚，但凡其中有甜，有酸，有忠誠，有奸詐，有浪漫也有平凡...她，有美麗的容貌，作為蔣介石的妻子，是當時“中國的第一夫人”。有超人的才華，掌握著勝似母語的英語，是位杰出的外交者。有卓越的能力，組建中國的航空隊并出任總司令。有非凡的勇氣，毅然在西安事變中赴華清池救夫，勇敢的在遼沈戰(zhàn)役中奔赴前線鼓舞士氣。有執(zhí)著的信念，虔誠的信仰基督。

然而，金無足赤，人無完人。榮耀的背后隱藏著傷感與陰險。她，有痛苦的悲哀，杜魯門上臺后她在美國倍受冷落，灑淚太平洋。有狠毒的心腸，指使殺害楊虎城及大批進步人士和革命者。有殘忍的手段，下令對手無寸鐵的學生開槍，制造南京血案。有無限的貪心，耍弄權力，巧取豪奪，私吞中國的財富，維持著四大家族的勢力與平衡。

在那風雨如晦、動蕩飄搖的年代，她雖然無法力挽狂瀾，卻也是粉墨登場，在歷史上扮演了重要一幕。算不上一個偉人，卻是個不折不扣的非凡之人。

是人就有優(yōu)點與缺點.奇人,就有功績與過錯.在其傳記中客觀、真實的再現(xiàn)歷史，這無疑是一個最好的評價。作者以詳實而又生動的記錄讓我了解了她。

功功過過，是是非非，歷史給予了最公正的評價和判斷。順天者昌，逆流者亡。是時代造就了她，她有成功，有失敗；有風風光光的年輕時，也有安靜寂寞的老年時光；有過追名逐利的浮華，也有風景都看透了的釋然。一切成為過去，那段非凡的影響都載入歷史。滄海桑田，斗轉星移，斯人已去，時間給予他們最為公正客觀的評價。

做一個堅強、自主的女性，有理想，有追求的女子，這是我讀宋美齡的人生經歷得到的感悟。不管將來如何，起碼我應該立足當下，為了夢想而拼搏，為了更好的明天而努力，也許我無法企及他們的那樣的成功，但至少要通過努力實現(xiàn)自己的理想，成為自己期望的人。

做一個堅強的女子

坦然面對，勇敢體會，酸甜苦辣，個中滋味

忘記消逝的人和事

不能擁有的，懂得放棄

不能碰觸的，學會雪藏

與其沉溺過往，不如沐浴晴朗

扔掉悲傷和孤寂，擺脫無助和漠然

不再害怕未知，不必盲目迷茫

做一個優(yōu)秀的女子

工作，生活，盡力做到更好學會愛自己，照顧自己，對自己好一點

做該做的事，處該處的人

珍惜該珍惜的生活

能應對突如其來的嬗變，可安于平淡無奇的安閑

大風大浪自有驚濤拍岸的雄壯，柴米油鹽也有細水長流的溫情

第三篇：美國第一夫人演講稿

Dr.Jill Biden: Thank you, Secretary Panetta and Deputy Secretary Wolin for your leadership.Thank you, General Dempsey, for your kind introduction.Good afternoon, Deanie, and all the Joint Chiefs and your spouses.Thank you for being such great partners to Michelle and me.I want to offer a special welcome to all of our service members and their spouses.We are honored to be with you today.Many of you know, as the General mentioned, that I am a proud military mom.One of the best parts of my role as Second Lady is the privilege of meeting with service members and their families all over the world.I am always amazed at their courage, their determination and their resilience.That inspiration is one of the main reasons the First Lady and I started Joining Forces so that all Americans are helping to support our military families.We've seen Americans step up in so many ways.We've seen businesses hiring tens of thousands of veterans and military spouses--businesses like Sears, Kmart and Sam's Club have made commitments to hire military spouses or make base transfers easier.Medical schools have committed to educate their students about post-traumatic stress and traumatic brain injuries and conduct new research on these conditions.Schools, community organizations and Americans of every age and background have sent care packages, donated childcare and created community celebrations for the military families in their neighborhoods.And Americans are stepping up because they know how much our military spouses and families have done for our country.People like Ann Wells.Ann's husband, Robert, is career combat engineer and command service sergeant major.After 10 years of marriage, Ann went back to school for her nursing degree.As a teacher, I have had the privilege of teaching countless women like Ann, women who fight hard for a good education.But like so many military spouses, Ann moved frequently with her husband and that often meant a new license was required to pursue her nursing career in Hawaii, in Tennessee, in Texas and in Missouri.That's why our efforts here today are so important.They are another way we can show our support for those who serve this country.Please join me in welcoming Ann.(applause)Ann Wells: Thank you, Dr.Biden, for those fine remarks.And to all the leaders of government, our First Lady, Secretary Panetta, General Dempsey, thank you for your leadership and your guidance today.And I just want to thank all of you for making military spouses and our professions a priority today.As an Army spouse for 32 years, I am enormously proud of what my husband does.And I am proud to step up and serve this country in my own way as well.But being a military spouse brings with it some extra challenges, and as a registered nurse, I know that firsthand.I take my profession as a nurse just as seriously as Robert does the military.My family has moved ten times throughout my husband's career.I have long since lost track of the number of months that I've spent waiting around for licensing paperwork to catch up so that I could continue my own career.One move happened 30 days after a deployment;we had to start moving during the Christmas holidays.Moving the family, finding a new home, a new school for the kids, you have to make new friends, all this puts a loss of stress on the families.And, you know, I can't even start looking for a new type of work until I have an address so I can start sending off for my license.There's also the extra cost of applying for the new license which differs from state to state.You have the time waiting for an official college transcript.You have to submit another set of fingerprints to file in the state.You need to figure out what forms have to be filled out, signed and notarized.One time the whole process was so difficult to sort through and Robert was going through some tough times after deployment that I finally gave up and decided I just didn't need to get my license in this state.And many of my friends that I've talked to have similar stories as mine.The issue of occupational license portability is one of the very top concerns we have as military spouses.In serving this country we move a lot;it's just what we do.And for those of us in one of the dozens of professions in this country that require state licensures, these moves can be particularly tough.Moving just in and of itself is tough.Now add the financial pressure of finding a new job and in a new location.We are not looking for a handout.And none of us for a second wants to change a professional standard.We're simply looking to be able to provide for our families and continue the careers that we love.And so I'd like to thank everyone here today for helping military spouses, like me, just to do that, to be there with us.And right now I'd like to turn it over to someone who has worked with Dr.Biden to make a difference in the lives of America's military families.She has not just talked about it;she has actually gotten up and done something about it.Ladies and gentlemen, the First Lady of the United States, Michelle Obama!(applause)First Lady Michelle Obama: Thank you so much.Thank you, everyone.Thank you all so much.Someone can give an order to be seated.There are plenty of people here who can do that, correct?(laughter)But thank you--thank you for that wonderful welcome.And thank you, Ann.Thank you for the kind introduction and for all that you and your family have done for our country.I also want to thank Secretary Panetta for hosting us here at the Pentagon.And of course, I have to thank Jill, who has been such a wonderful friend and such a terrific partner in Joining Forces.I also want to join in recognizing General Dempsey and his wife, Jeannie--Deanie, why am I saying Jeannie? Hi, Deanie.How are you?(laughter)Thank you.You've been amazing.You've helped us through.You've kept us on the straight and narrow along with all of the other spouses of the Joint Chiefs.You all have been just amazing supports.And I also have to recognize the Joint Chiefs as well.Thank you all.You all have been so steadfast, just right there every step of the way.We are just proud of everything that you do for this country.And we also have Deputy Secretary Neal Wolin, who is here from the Department of Treasury, who has put so much time and effort into helping prepare this report.We wouldn't be here today without all that you have done, so thank you.Well done.Job well done.Absolutely.(applause)We also have Alan Krueger, who's the Chairman of the President's Council of Economic Advisors;of course, the First Lady of Kentucky, Jane Beshear, who has been really doing some phenomenal work in her state and taking the lead and stepping up in ways big and small.We really are grateful to everything that you've done.We also have members of Congress here, we have state legislators, and we representatives from many of our nation's veterans service organizations who are here with us.And we are all here today, we have all gathered, to say this to America's military families: We are incredibly grateful for your service.We understand the unique challenges that you face;and we are going to do everything that we can to make sure that you can pursue your careers and provide for your families.Now as Jill said, over the past few years, she and I have had the privilege of visiting with military spouses all across the country.And as Jill said, you all are some of the most courageous, resilient, and inspiring people that we have ever met.You all are the ones who keep your families together when your spouse is deployed.You're the parents who turn off the news at night for fear of what you might hear, who answer all those questions about why Mom or Dad has been gone for so long.You're the spouse who steps up to do the work of two parents, raising the kids, running the household, juggling all the errands and chores all alone.But you are still the volunteer on the PTA.（家庭教師協(xié)會）You still lead that food drive.You organize the neighborhood carpool.You're the families who, every few years, you pack up your entire lives, and you move whenever and wherever your country calls.But no matter how much is on your plate, no matter what this country asks of you, you all just keep moving forward.You just keep serving your families, your communities and your country in ways that many of us cannot fathom.But when it comes to moving forward in your own careers, when it comes to getting a job and being able to provide for your families when you arrive at that new base or duty station, far too often, you can't just keep moving because you've run into a brick wall.It happens to military spouses again and again.You're asked to move to a new state.You want to get back to the job you love and the job you need to support your family.But you can't do any of that because your nursing license or your teaching credentials don't transfer when you move to a new state.It happens to nurses like Ann.It happens to school teachers, to childcare providers, to accountants, real estate brokers, dental hygienists, lawyers too--that's supposed to be funny.No one likes lawyers.(laughter)And so many other careers.We have learned that more than one of every three military spouses in the labor force have jobs that require some kind of professional license or certification.So this licensing issue affects more than 100,000 individuals--100,000 individuals.And the vast majority of you are clearly ready to work when you get to your new state.You've already demonstrated your specialized skills.You've already gained years of professional experience.But too often, as Ann said, you're left waiting for paperwork to clear while your skills go unused and more importantly your family's bank accounts shrink.And this is something Jill and I hear about on every single base and in every single military community that we visit.It is the number one issue that military spouses tell us about.And we know that this is a challenge for these families because the one important thing that I have learned about military spouses is they never complain.They never ever ask for anything.So on the rare occasion when our military spouses do speak up and ask for our help, then it's time for all of us to take action.And that's what today's report from the Departments of Defense and Treasury is all about.That's what we're doing.We're all taking action.We've heard your frustrations, and we're finding solutions.And that starts by first recognizing how these issues arise.Now, each state issues its own professional license and sets its own standards of professional competence.Take teachers, for example.To earn a teaching license, states ask for some combination of state and national test scores, supervised work experience, and advanced coursework.But when you analyze requirements like these across several states, you begin to understand the challenges that arise for military spouses.In some states, for example, applicants are required to take an entry-level course in state history or other subjects before the licensing board will grant a license.So if you're a military spouse with years of teaching experience and you move across state lines, you could end up taking extra classes for weeks on end before you can even get a job, and that's just what happens in one profession.When you're talking about dozens of careers, the web of requirements and standards can get pretty thick.But before we go any further, let me be very clear: We're not asking any state to change their standards.6 These state rules are important, and states have every right to set benchmarks just like these.In doing so, they hold our professionals to a high bar and they give us all peace of mind whenever we walk into a hospital or enroll our kids in school.But it's also clear that this system poses very unique challenges for our military families.And recently, a number of states have stepped forward to address this very problem.So let me just tell you about what just some of a few states are already doing.In Tennessee, they're granting temporary licenses in many professions, which will allow spouses to get a job first, then complete any remaining state licensing requirements.In Colorado, the director of their state licensing agency now has the power to waive cumbersome requirements for military spouses who clearly demonstrate their competence.And then in Arizona, they passed legislation to grant licenses, in most professions, to military spouses who have at least one year of experience.So that's three states with three different solutions.In each of them, military spouses with professional skills and experience don't have to wait before they get to work.If they need to complete any remaining requirements in their new state, they can do it as they earn a paycheck.And that's the general guideline that eight other states have followed as they've created laws of their own.And we're pleased that 13 more states have legislation pending or waiting to be introduced.But that still leaves 26 states--that still leaves more than half the country--that have yet to address this issue.And, again, that's where this report comes in.We know that there's no one-size-fits-all solution here.Every state is different.So this report simply provides a roadmap of best practices that leaders across the country can use as a resource as they explore ways that their state can better support these military families.The report contains tips and ideas, not edicts and decrees.But the point is that there are solutions here.This is a solvable problem.So today we are setting a national goal--by the year 2014, we want all 50 states to have passed their own legislation to address these licensing issues.And we know it's an ambitious goal.We know it won't be easy to achieve, but we also know that our nation's military families have waited long enough.(applause)And it's also important to note that this isn't just about military spouses.This issue affects our troops.It affects our military children, all of whom are relying on the income of these spouses earn.This affects our schools and our hospitals and our businesses that need those skilled employees.And all of that affects our entire economy--our unemployment rate, our productivity, our competitiveness all around the world.So it's time for us to come together as a country to find some solutions to this problem that has affected so many of our military families for so long.It is time for us to make sure that our military spouses, that their hard work and professional skills are recognized, no matter what state they move to.And we're all willing to do our part to work together to move this issue forward and to provide support for states along the way.That's why, in addition to today's announcement, when our nation's governors gather at the White House in just two weeks, Jill and I are going to make this ask directly.We're going to ask each of the governors to lead the charge on this issue in their state.We're also going to reach out to state legislators across the country, and we're going to ask them to jumpstart the legislative process.The state liaisons here at the Department of Defense will be working nonstop to help these state leaders craft and pass bills that fit their states' needs.In addition, we're going to be asking advocacy groups like the National Military Family Association to engage at a state level to build the kind of grassroots support that will help get this done.And we're going to urge more national professional organizations to follow the lead of the American Bar Association, which actively is encouraging its state affiliates to make licensing accommodations for military spouses.So we are ready to roll up our sleeves and do some heavy lifting on this issue.We are ready to make this happen.And if we can do this, if we can work together so that every state can find its own solution, we'll once again show all of you--our incredible military families--that America has your back.After all, that's exactly what you do for all of us every single day.That's what you do for us.No matter how much we ask of you, no matter what the personal cost, our military families always answer the call.They always do.And today, as we announce this new effort, I'm reminded of a group of military spouses that I met with a few years ago in Kentucky.One woman we were talking to, she choked up as she told me about some of the challenges that she and her family were facing.And I'll never forget what happened next: another military spouse who was sitting there, she jumped in and she said--and this is a quote--she said, “I don't know this woman.I didn't meet her before today, but when she leaves here, she will have my number.And she will be able to call me anytime.She's got the support of this friend right here.” See and I tell that story because that's who military spouses are.That's exactly who they are.That's the life that so many of you here today lead.That is the commitment that you show every single day to your families, to our communities and to our country.And I just want you all to know that you can call on us, and we will answer.We owe it to you and your families who have sacrificed so much.And so to all of the state leaders out there, in this room and beyond, I want to thank you for everything that you've done so far, and I look forward to working with you to finish this job.And to our troops and our military families, I cannot thank you enough for everything you do for this country.We are inspired by you.We are so proud of you, and we are working as hard as we can to serve you as well as you have served this country.Thank you all, God bless, and God bless the United States of America.Thanks, so much.(applause)

Barack knows that like me and like so many of you Barack懂得，就像我們中很多人一樣

he never could've attended college without finacial aid 沒有助學貸款他也不可能上大學

And believe it or not, when we were first married 你們相信嗎，在我和他新婚之時

our combined monthly student loan bills were actually higher than our mortgage 我們的助學貸款的壓力甚至遠大于房貸 We were so young, so in love, and so in debt 當時我們那么年輕，那么相愛，還負債累累

because he wants every young person to fulfill their promises 他希望讓每一個年輕人都能大展宏圖

because for Barack, success isn't about how much money you make, 因為對他來說，成功的標準并不是收入

it's about the difference you make in people's lives 而是你對他人生活的積極影響

And I love that even in the toughest moments, when we're all sweating it 我愛他，因為在艱難無比，揪心不已的時刻

when we're worried that the bill won't pass, and it seems like all is lost 在法案可能無法通過，一切都可能會重頭再來的時候

Barack never lets himself get distracted by te chatter and the noise 他從不會被四面的楚歌所動搖

Just like his grandmother, he just keeps getting up and moving forward 就像他的祖母一樣，他會重新振作，再度前進 with patience and wisdom, and courage and grace 用他的耐心、智慧、勇氣和氣度

And he reminds me that we were playing a long game here 他總會提醒我我們任重道遠

And that change is hard, and change is slow, and it never happens all at once 變革往往艱難而緩慢，根本無法一蹴而就 But eventually we get there, we always do 但總有一天我們會成功，就如既往的那些勝利

we get there because of folks like my Dad, folks like Barack's grandmather 我們會最終到達彼岸，因為像我的父親，他的祖母 men and women who said to themselves 還有所有像他們一樣的人都對自己承諾

I may not have a chance to fulfill my dreams, but maybe my children will 我沒能實現(xiàn)自己的夢想，但或許我的孩子們可以 maybe my grandchildren will 或許我們的孫輩們可以

So many of us stand here tonight because of their sacrifice, and longing ,and steadfast love 我們今天能站在這里，就歸功于他們的奉獻，渴望和從不動搖的愛

Because time and again, they swallowed their fears and doubts and did what was hard 歸功于他們一次又一次地壓住自己的恐懼和疑惑，艱苦奮斗

So today, when the challenges we face start to seem overwhelming or even impossible 所以當如今我們面對的挑戰(zhàn)似乎艱巨得難以克服

let us never forget that doing impossilble is the history of this nation

請別忘記開創(chuàng)不可能的奇跡正是我們國家的歷史

it is who we are as American, it's how this country was built 美國人就是這樣，我們的國家就是這么建立起來的

第五篇：第一夫人晚宴致辭

第一夫人晚宴致辭

Thank you, Betsy for your warm welcome and for sharing your love of teaching as America's Teacher of the Year.I met Betsy when she came to the White House in April to receive the Teacher of the Year award.In her remarks that day Betsy said, “It's quite overwhelming to be recognized for something that you love to do every day.”

謝謝你，貝蒂，謝謝你的熱情歡迎，謝謝你與我們分享了你作為美國本最佳教師對教學的摯愛。四月貝 蒂來白宮領取本最佳教師獎時，我見到了她。那天貝蒂在致辭中說：“能夠因自己喜歡做的事得到表彰是一件感到莫大幸福的事。”

All teachers deserve to be recognized for the contributions they make in our classrooms and in our country.Teaching is the greatest public service and we owe teachers our admiration and respect.Each of the teachers here tonight exemplifies the very best in teachingI decided to be a teacher.I decided this not only because I loved school and writing on the chalk board.I wanted to teach because I loved my second-grade teacher, Mrs.Gnagy and I wanted to be just like her.So I went to college and earned a teaching degree, and after working as a teacher in Dallas, I gained a whole new respect for Mrs.Gnagy.But I loved every minute of it.我知道教學可以多么有意義，多么富有挑戰(zhàn)性，一個老師可以對一個孩子一生帶來多大的不同。我8歲時做 了一個非常成熟、非常明智的決定---決定做一名教師。我做出這個決定，不僅僅因為我熱愛學校，喜歡在黑板上寫字，我想當老師還因為我愛我的二年級老師---娜潔太太，我希望做像她一樣的老 師。所以我上了大學，獲得了教學學位。在達拉斯當了老師后，我對娜潔太太更產生了全新的敬意。我喜歡教學的每時每刻。

外長助理2011年非政府組織新年招待會致辭

尊敬的各位來賓，女士們、先生們：

Distinguished Guests,Ladies and Gentlemen,今晚很高興與各位新老朋友相聚，共賀新年。我謹代表外交部并以我個人的名義，向各位來賓致以最美好的 節(jié)日祝福，向一年來所有關心和支持非政府組織工作的朋友們表示衷心的感謝！

Tonight, it gives me great pleasure to gather with my friends, both old and new, to celebrate the New Year.I would like to extend, on behalf of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and in my own name, the warmest festive greetings to all of you and heartfelt thanks to all the friends who have been supporting the work of non-governmental organizations.剛剛過去的2010年，對世界和中國人民來說都是不平凡的一年。這一年，世界多極化、經濟全球化深入 發(fā)展，世界經濟總體擺脫金融危機陰霾、步入復蘇軌道，氣候變化、能源資源安全等全球性問題更加突出，國際和地區(qū)熱點

問題此起彼伏，世界和平發(fā)展面臨的機遇 和挑戰(zhàn)都前所未有。這一年，面對國際國內環(huán)境的復雜變化，中國人民團結一心、開拓進取，戰(zhàn)勝青海玉樹地震、甘肅舟曲特大泥石流等自然災害，確保經濟平穩(wěn)較 快發(fā)展，成功舉辦上海世博會、廣州亞運會和亞殘運會，順利完成嫦娥二號衛(wèi)星探月任務，勝利實現(xiàn)“十一五”規(guī)劃確定的目標任務，得到了世界各國的廣泛理解和 認可。

The year 2010 which is just behind us has been an eventful year for the world and Chinese people.In 2010, the trend toward multi-polarity and economic globalization gained momentum and the world economy emerged from the shadow of the financial crisis and embarked on the track of recovery.Global issues including climate change and energy and resources security became more pronounced and international and regional hotspot issues kept flaring up.World peace faced

unprecedented opportunities and challenges.In the face of complex changes in the international and domestic environment, the Chinese people united as one and overcame such natural disasters as the Yushu earthquake and the massive Zhouqu mudslide and ensured steady and relatively fast economic development.We successfully hosted the world Expo 2010 Shanghai, the Asian Games and Asian Para Games in Guangzhou, accomplished the Chang’e-2 lunar probe mission and fulfilled the objectives and tasks under the 11th Five-Year Plan.We have won widespread understanding and recognition from countries around the world.2010年，也是中國境內外非政府組織蓬勃發(fā)展、成績顯著的一年。這一年，中國社會組織快速增長。登 記注冊的社會組織總數已超過43萬，在推進社會發(fā)展、改善民生、促進公益事業(yè)、實現(xiàn)千年發(fā)展目標等方面發(fā)揮著積極而獨特的作用。這一年，更多的境外非政府 組織來華開展合作，與中方合作單位在教育、衛(wèi)生、環(huán)保、慈善和社會福利等領域開展了大量活動，為中國的經濟社會發(fā)展發(fā)揮了有益的補充作用，進一步加強了中 國與世界的交流。特別值得一提的是，玉樹地震和舟曲泥石流災害發(fā)生后，包括救助兒童會等在內的多家境外非政府組織與災區(qū)人民感同身受，為救災重建做出重要 貢獻，所展示出的專業(yè)水平、敬業(yè)精神和友好情誼，給中國人民留下了深刻印象。The year 2010 also witnessed vigorous development and remarkable achievements of domestic and overseas NGOs in China.In the course of the year, China’s social organizations enjoyed fast development.The number of registered social organizations exceeded 430,000 and they played a positive and unique role in promoting social development, improving people’s livelihood, advancing the cause of social welfare and achieving the Millenium Development Goals.More overseas NGOs came to China for cooperation and carried out many activities with their Chinese partners in the fields of education, health, environmental protection, charity and social welfare.They served as a useful complement for China’s economic and social development and further enhanced China’s exchanges with the world.It is particularly worth mentioning that in the aftermaths of the Yushu earthquake and the Zhouqu mudslide, many overseas NGOs including Save the Children felt the pain of the people in the disaster-affected areas and made important contribution to our disaster relief and reconstruction efforts.The professionalism, dedication and frendship they displayed left the Chinese people with a deep impression.同樣也是在這一年，包括外交部在內的中國多個政府部門與境外非政府組織的交往與合作呈現(xiàn)新局面，取得 新進展。去年8月，我們首次以政府部門、學術機構和外國非政府組織三方合作的形式舉辦了“全球化背景下的非政府組織研討會”。我們還積極協(xié)助有關境外非政 府組織在云南貧困地區(qū)開展扶貧合作項目，促成有關非政府組織參加國情社情考察活動。今天，我們又首次舉辦非政府組織新年招待會，邀請有關部委、外國駐華使 館、國際組織駐華代表機構、地方外辦、國內外非政府組織和學術機構的代表共同參加，充分體現(xiàn)了中國政府對境外非政府組織的高度重視。

In 2010, the interactions and cooperation among chinese ministries and departments, including the Ministry of Foreign

Affairs, and overseas NGOs made fresh headway.Last August, we held the seminar on NGOs in Globalization, the first one in the form of trilateral cooperation among the government, academic institutions and overseas NGOs.We provided active assistance for the poverty relief programs of relevant overseas NGOs in poor areas of Yunan Province and facilitated

relevant NGOs’ participation in field trips to enhance their knowledge of china’s national conditions.Today, we are hosting the New Year Reception for NGOs for the first time, and have invited representatives of relevant ministries and departments, local foreign affairs offices, foreign embassies, representative offices of international organizations, domestic and foreign NGOs and academic institutions.This fully show the great importance the Chinese government has attached to overseas NGOs.女士們，先生們，Ladies and Gentlemen,2011年是新世紀第二個十年的開啟之年，也是中國“十二五”規(guī)劃的開局之年。“十二五”規(guī)劃確定了 中國未來五年經濟社會發(fā)展的主要目標和任務，明確提出“要培育扶持和依法管理社會組織，支持、引導其參與社會管理和服務”。在此，我愿重申，中國政府高度 贊賞境外非政府組織的積極作用，歡迎和支持境外非政府組織來華活動。我們衷心希望境外在華非政府組織，能夠更加積極地參與到中國政府和人民努力實現(xiàn)“十二 五”規(guī)劃的進程中來，緊密結合中國經濟社會發(fā)展的實際需求，遵守中國的法律法規(guī)，繼續(xù)在扶貧、抗災、環(huán)保、教育、醫(yī)療、慈善領域與中方合法組織開展務實合 作，為促進中外交流、推動中國經濟社會發(fā)展作出新的貢獻。中國政府也將加大力度為境外非政府組織在華開展友好交流與合作提供便利。

The year 2011 marks the beginning of the second decade of the 21st century and also the first year for the implementation of the 12th Five-Year Plan of China.The 12th Five-Year Plan sets out the main objectives and tasks for China’s economic and social development for the next five years and clearly states that we should “foster and manage according to law social organizations, and support them in participating in social management and services and provide guidance for them”.Here I would like to reaffirm that the Chinese government highly appreciates the positive role of overseas NGOs and welcomes and supports your activities in China.We sincerely hope that overseas NGOs will be more actively involved in the efforts of the Chinese goverment and people to implement the 12th Five-Year Plan in the light of the actual demands of China’s

economic and social development.We hope that overseas NGOs will abide by china’s laws and regulations and continue to conduct practical cooperation with lawful chinese organizations in poverty reduction, disaster relief, environmental

protection, education, medical care and charity, thus making fresh contribution to china’s exchanges with other countries and China’s economic and social development.The chinese government will do more to provide convenience for overseas NGOs to conduct friendly exchanges and cooperation in China.女士們，先生們，Ladies and Gentlemen,新年伊始，萬象更新。我們期待著在新的一年里繼續(xù)與各位朋友保持良好合作，共同為推動中國經濟社會發(fā) 展、促進人民福祉作出更大的貢獻！

With the beginning of the new year, everything takes on a new look.We look forward to continuing our good cooperation with our friends in the coming year and working together to contribute more to China’s economic and social development and the well-being of the people.現(xiàn)在，我提議：

為世界和平與發(fā)展，為中外雙方的友好合作，為各位來 賓的健康，干杯！

I now propose a toast,To world peace and development,To our friendly cooperation, and

To your health,Cheers!
