【答案解析】我很高兴能向建校60周年的贵校表示问候。贵校是一所名校，已培养了6万多名外语专门人才，包括许多联合国译员。他们运用自己的技能跨越语言和文化障碍，促进交流。毕业生中还有成百上千的外交官，他们一直致力于不断加强中国与世界各国的联系，增进中国与世界各国的了解。//
确实，文明历来是通过知识交流而得到充实，无论是在科学、文化还是在经济领域，都是如此。在全球化和信息高速传递的时代，知识和进步之间的联系更加密切了。知识是发展、社会进步和人类自由的关键因素，在任何领域中，必须允许知识跨越国家界限。知识本身必须全球化。你们正在为实现这个目标而努力，这是十分令人高兴的。 [解析]
It gives me great pleasure to send my greetings to your university on the 60th anniversary of its founding. Your esteemed institution has trained more than 60,000 specialists in foreign languages, including many United Nations interpreters and translators, who have used their skills to facilitate communication across linguistic and cultural barriers. Graduates of the University also include hundreds of diplomats, who have worked to build stronger ties and better understanding between China and the world. //
Indeed, civilizations have always been enriched by the exchange of knowledge, whether in the scientific, cultural and economic spheres. In an era of globalization and high-speed communication, the relationship between knowledge and progress has become even stronger. As a key ingredient in development, social progress and human freedom, knowledge in all fields must be allowed to reach across nations. Knowledge itself must be globalized. It is gratifying to know that the University is doing its part in this endeavor.

【答案解析】显然中美经济关系正在步入一个新阶段。首先，中美经济的互相依赖程度正在加深。在越来越多的经济问题方面，我们都更加需要彼此。过去五年间，据美国方面的数据，美国对中国的出口额已经从180亿美元增加到520亿美元，而美国从中国的进口额也从1000亿美元增加到2900亿美元。此外，美国和中国也正塑造着全球的能源和环境趋势，当然同时也为其所塑造。这种塑造与被塑造具有重大的经济意义。//
其次，贸易和投资曾在很大程度上是双边关系稳定的原因，但现在，它们也正日益成为双方关系紧张的原因。在20世纪80年代，我们和中国尚未出现明显的贸易紧张局面，主要是因为那个时候我们还没有很多的双边贸易。从某种意义上讲，我们的贸易紧张正反映了我们关系的成熟及双边贸易与投资的迅速增长。我们需要确保能够有效地处理好这些紧张关系，使双边经济关系平稳发展。 [解析]
The U. S.-China economic relationship is entering a new phase. First, U. S.-China economic interdependence is deepening. We need each other more and on a broader number of economic issues. Over the past 5 years, according to U. S. data, U.S. exports to China have grown from $18 to $ 52 billion, while U. S. imports from China have grown from $100 billion to $ 290 billion. Moreover, the United States and China are shaping, and being shaped by, global energy and environmental trends, which have strong economic consequences. //
Second, whereas trade and investment were once largely a source of stability in bilateral relations, they are now increasingly also a source of tension. In the 1980s, we didn"t have significant trade tensions with China—mainly because we didn"t have much bilateral trade. In a sense, the fact that we have trade tensions reflects a maturing of our relationship and the rapid growth in bilateral trade and investment. We need to manage those tensions effectively in order to keep a steady growth of our bilateral economic relationship.
