【答案解析】英中两国的友谊具有坚实的基础，并建立了牢固的双边关系。1950年，英国成为第一个承认中华人民共和国的西方国家。今年是香港特别行政区成立十一周年，我们在此表示祝贺。自1977年以来，我们两国的交流大为增长——不仅是双边交流，也包括我们作为联合国安理会常任理事国分享权益及承担职责时进行的多边交流。//
在中国新的发展之际，英国已为双方合作作好了准备。英中两国的大学可以建立新的合作伙伴关系，以提高自身的技术和管理水平。我们的研究机构及科研人员可以合作开发用于生产创新产品的技术，例如，应对环境方面的挑战以确保未来的生活质量，这一问题必须得到解决。在所有这些方面，我都看到了显著的共同利益——这就是英中两国在教育交流和科学发展上建立的合作伙伴关系。 [解析]
Britain and China start from a strong foundation, with our bilateral relations in excellent shape. In 1950 Britain was the first western country to recognize the People"s Republic of China. This year we will celebrate the 11th anniversary of the establishment of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. Since 1997 our exchanges have multiplied dramatically--bilaterally but also multilaterally where we share common interests and responsibilities as Permanent Members of the UN Security Council. //
As China embarks on its new phase of development, the UK is ready for partnership. British and Chinese universities can form new partnerships to raise skills and management capacity. Our research institutions and scientists can collaborate to develop the technologies to make innovative products, for example dealing with the environmental challenges which must be solved to guarantee future quality of life. In all this, I see significant mutual benefits--a UK/China Partnership in education exchange and scientific development.

【答案解析】晚上好，我正从新奥尔良向大家讲话。新奥尔良几成空城，还有部分淹没在水下，并等候着生命和希望的回归。一天之内，一场残暴、破坏性的风暴改变了数以百万人的生活。风暴结束后，我们看到同胞们震惊不已、无依无靠，搜寻着自己所爱的人，为逝去的人而伤心。我们也目睹了这个伟大且慷慨的民族的人们从来就未曾有过的那种绝望。
这些日子令人伤心愤怒，但更让人印象深刻的是善良勇敢的行为，值得所有美国人引以为豪。海岸护卫队和其他人员从洪水肆虐的街区拯救了数万人。许多首先响应者，自己也是受害者，但是他们的责任感超越了他们自己的痛苦。他们失去了房子和车子，但依然斗志昂扬，努力战胜这场灾难并重建家园。 [解析]
Good evening. I"m speaking to you from the city of New Orleans--nearly empty, still partly under water, and waiting for life and hope to return. Millions of lives were changed in a day by a cruel and wasteful storm. In the aftermath, we have seen fellow citizens left stunned and uprooted, searching for loved ones, and grieving for the dead. We"ve also witnessed the kind of desperation no citizen of this great and generous nation should ever have to know. //
These days of sorrow and outrage have also been marked by acts of courage and kindness that make all Americans proud. Coast Guard and other personnel rescued tens of thousands of people from flooded neighborhoods. Many first responders were victims themselves, with a sense of duty greater than their own suffering. They lost their houses and cars, but they still got their spirit. With such spirit they"ve pulled through this catastrophe and would rebuild their hometowns.
