1、2023年早餐英语演讲稿(2篇) 书目 第1篇美国副总统拜登5月5日在美中商会早餐会英语演讲稿 第2篇美国总统在白宫复活节祈祷早餐会英语演讲稿 美国副总统拜登5月5日在美中商会早餐会英语演讲稿 (applause.) thank you very much. and i’m so late you probably thought you weregoing tohear from the 48th vice president of the united states. (laughter.) i apologize. i always,when i’mlate at
2、 home, always blame it on the president. but i can’t do that today, and iapologize for keeping you waiting. i remember 220 years ago, when iwas in college, you only had to wait 10 minutes for aprofessor, 20 minutes fora full professor. the only fullprofessor in the biden family is my wife -you
3、 didn’t have to wait thislong. but thank you so much for givingme the opportunity to speakwith you all. let me begin by saying one thingabout competition. i’ve told this tovice president xi andthen president xi, in all the time i had to spend withhim, is that one of the things that hasha
4、ppened in the last 20 years, as theworld has become more competitive, it’s awakened thecompetitive spirit in theunited states. competition is stampedinto our dna. and if there’sanythingremotely approaching a level playing field, we’ll do just fine - just fine. and so i want to than
5、k theamerican chamber of commerce and the u.s. business councilfor inviting me heretoday. you are living the u.s.-chinarelationship every single day, and youknow the opportunities, but you alsoknow the obstacles. and it’s great to beback together onelast time here in beijing with our ambassado
6、r, garylocke. i say one last time because heisgoing to be heading back to his home state of washington after a verydistinguished career,which i don’t think is anywhere near ended, as bothgovernor, member of the cabinet, as well asthe ambassador. and gary and i were speaking thismorning as i wa
7、s - there was a telephone call, they saidi’m requiredupstairs. and one of the things i likeabout gary - there’s no member of - nogovernor or member of cabinet that ihave enjoyed working with more, because gary speaksenglish. by that, i mean not english versus chinese; imean plain versus
8、complicated. (laughter.) and so when gary speaks, everyone understandsexactly what he means. and as you know better than i,communication is the currency, and particularly thecurrency that is neededmost here in china. he’s been anambassador to the chinesegovernment, but also to the chinese peop
9、le, and hewill be missed. i remember, i washereshortly after gary arrived and every newspaper you’d pick, even though i don’treadchinese, i’d see gary’s picture - because he connected. he connected immediately with thechinesepeople as a representative of our country and knowi
10、ng - the chinese peopleknowinghe was reaching out not just to the government, but to them. i had a chance since i’ve beenhere - it’s been a very rapid visit, and it’s been 14-hour days,but veryuseful - i had a chance to talk with vice president li, and i will spendseveral hours -an
11、d i spent i guess almost four and a half hours withpresident xi. and i’m honored thathewould give me the time to go into such detail, both in a private bilat with himas well as anexpanded, as well as a lovely dinner he hosted for me and a fewof my colleagues. later, i’ll bemeetingwith pr
12、emier li. and i want to talk to you aboutmuch of what - some of what i’ve talked to all of themabout and what ibelieve to be are next steps in the u.s.-china relationship. we’re trying to build a new kindof relationship between major powers, one that’s different,one that is defined
13、by constructive cooperation, healthy competition, and a shared respectfor anagreed upon new set of rules of the road and international norms for the 21stcentury. after world ii, our grandfathersand fathers and mothers put in place a structure thataccommodated the economicchange that took place in th
14、e world and set up a new set of rules ofthe roadfor the remainder of the 20th century. we’re in a different place now. you all know itbetter than i do. we use the phrase in colloquial conversation in all our countries thatit’s aglobal economy. but it’s trulya global economy - a glo
15、bal economy. my colleagues always kid me aboutquoting irish poets all the time. theythink i do itbecause i’m irish. i do itbecause they’re the best poets. (laughter.) and william butleryeatswrote a poem called easter sunday 1916, about the first rising in irelandin the 20th century.and h
16、e had a linein it that better describes, i would argue, the pacific basin in the year2023than it did in his ireland in 1916. hesaid, all is changed, changed utterly, a terriblebeauty has been born. we’re at a moment, a window, asthey say, of opportunity. how long itwill remain openremains to b
17、e seen - where we can potentially establish a setof rules of the road that providefor mutual benefit and growth of both ourcountries and the region, that set down sort of thetracks for progress in the21st century. i think it is thatprofound. i think that’s the place,that’sthe inflection
18、point we are at in our relationship now - not only with chinabut the entireregion. and so the only path to realizingthis vision for the future is through tangible, practicalcooperation andmanaging our differences effectively. we’venot tried this before. we’ve nottriedthis before. this is
19、 going to bedifficult. but if we get it right, theoutcome for our childrenand grandchildren can be profound - profoundlypositive. but to move this relationshipforward, there is no substitute for direct and personalengagement betweenleaders. president xi pointed out to me,because i had an opportunity
20、when he was vice president to spend someconsiderable time with him at the request ofpresident hu and then - andpresident obama. he made indirectreference to - there was afamous american politician named tip o’neill, who iadmired a great deal and was sort of amentor when i was a young 29-year-o
21、ldsenator coming into congress. and he’sfamous forhaving said all politics is local. well, i believe all politics is personal, includinginternationalpolitics. personal relationships are theonly vehicle by which you build trust. it doesn’t mean youagree, but trust to know that the man or
22、woman onthe other side of the table is telling youprecisely what they mean, even ifyou don’t want to hear it. that’s whypresident obama askedme to make this visit, and that’s why president xi and ispent so much time together yesterdaydiscussing in great detail a whole rangeof issue
23、s we face together that are difficult for both of usto navigate in ourown political system. these were very candidconversations. i know it shocks you tothink i would be candid. iknow that’s ashocking assertion. no one has doubted that i mean exactly what i say. theproblem is i sometimes tend t
24、o say allthat i mean. (laughter.) but because our relationship isso complex,getting it right isn’t going to be easy, and it’s going to require directstraightforwardnesswith one another about our interests, our concerns and, quite frankly,ourexpectations. and that was the nature ofthe dis
25、cussion yesterday. let me start with economics, notbecause this is a business audience, but becauseultimately what matters moston both sides is our ability to deliver better for our peoplewithout it beingviewed as a zero-sum game. i have saidsince i met with deng xiaoping as ayoung senator, with ver
26、y senior senators, thatchina’s economic growth is very much in theinterest of the united states ofamerica - very much in our interest. inmy meetings withpresident xi, he and i spent a good deal of our timediscussing the outcomes of china’s thirdplenum. china’s leaders have stated t
27、heir ambition tomove china toward a system where themarket plays a decisive role. that is a very, very big order that willrequire on the part of -and i’m confident he possesses it - the leadershipof this country and the president. but, in fact, many of the reformschina’s leaders are prop
28、osing actually match the prioritieswe have raised withchina over the years. leveling theplaying field for private and foreign-ownedcompanies - it’s going to be adifficult, difficult transition. protecting intellectual propertyand trade secrets, which isessential. it’s not a surprise that
29、 anumber of american companies arecoming home in their manufacturing. why? well, we have very productive workers, but alsowe have court systemsthat are totally transparent. intellectual property is protected. itmatters. and i think it’sbecoming apparent to our competitors around the world that
30、 itmatters for theirown economic growth. opening servicesectors to private and foreigninvestment and moving to market - to amarket-demand exchange rate. these are welcome steps, but theywill be difficult steps, and there’s no need to wait till2023. again, the chinese leadership in private hasb
31、een very candid with me about thedifficulty, but the determination they haveto meet this, by any standard, very ambitiousgoal. of course, what matters most at the end ofthe day will be implementation. there’san oldsaxon expression - the proof of the pudding is in the eating. the proof of the p
32、udding is intheeating. but i have no doubt thatpresident xi and his leadership and his primary advisorsintend on, mean to,are committed to making the third plenum a reality. but it is going torequiresubstantial commitment and follow-through. reform anywhere ischallenging. there are always intenseint
33、erests. i know you all are sohappyabout our views on wall street reform - not easy, but a minor - a minor -changecompared to what the chinese leadership has taken on. but the more china delivers on itsproposedreforms the strong our bilateral trade and investment relationship will be. and there&rsquo
34、;s a lot of work to do,and i know that many of you have concerns that need to bedealt with in theprocess. there are a number of areaswhere, in the next two years, we can andshould make progress immediately. we have an opportunity to improveintellectual propertyprotection, resolve outstanding trade d
35、isputes that areholding us back. we have anopportunityto significantly expand our cooperation on energy and climate change - wherewehave overwhelmingly mutual interest. helping china achieve new vehicle emissionstandards andenergy-transparent goals is that we committed to this week. implementing our
36、 agreement onhfcs - we have an opportunity to protect the healthand well-being of ourpeople by increasing the safety of food and drugs. and today we’ve agreedon increase of thenumber of u.s. inspectors who are operating in china. we have an opportunity in themonths ahead to make significant pr
37、ogress in negotiating abid, a bilateral investmenttreaty and much more. the third plenum also speaks tosocial and political reform and identifies some importantnear-term steps thatthey want to implement - an end to china’s program of reeducationthroughforced labor, easing the one-child policy,
38、 a commitment to deeper judicial andlegalreforms. any major economic powerin the 21st century, these are all going to become essentialrequirements inorder to sustain growth, in my humble opinion, through the first half ofthe21st century. as was pointed out yesterday bythe president, quoting back to
39、me, i always say i never tellanother man hisbusiness, or suggest to another leader what’s in the interests of his country.butthe interests laid out in the third plenum seem to be very much in ourmutual interest. thereare many moresteps china can take to open its politics and society as well as
40、 itseconomy. andas i’ve said before, thisis actually, from our perspective, in china’s interest, notwithstandingit’sfor them to determine their interest. because history tells us that innovation is thecurrency of 21st centurysuccess. innovation thrive where peoplebreathe freely, sp
41、eak freely,are able to challenge orthodoxy, where newspaperscan report the truth without fear ofconsequences. we have many disagreements, andsome profound disagreements, on some of those issuesright now, in thetreatment of u.s. journalists. but ibelieve china will be stronger and morestable and more
42、 innovative if it respectsuniversal human rights. i was asked why we always talkabout human rights. the point i try tomake wherever i go inthe world when that discussion comes up is we are anation of immigrants. the vast majorityofyour ancestors who came to america came because their human rights we
43、rebeing violated. it isstamped into thedna of americans. no president, nomatter how much he or she would like toavoid speaking to it, is able to remainsilent without suffering consequences from the americanpublic. it is who we are. not that we’re the citadel of human rights;we have much progre
44、ss tomake ourselves. as businesses know well,prosperity critically depends upon predictability and stability.the united states and our allies haveguaranteed peace and security in this region for morethan 60 years, providingthe conditions for the remarkable economic progress in the region,particularl
45、ychina. our relationship with china iscomplex, though. we have our differencesandthey are real. but there’s nothinginevitable about a conflict with china - nothing inevitableabout a conflictwith china. wholesome competition andstrong competition is fundamentallydifferent than conflict. in fact
46、, we see considerablecommon interest on the security side. asecure and peacefulasia pacific enables economic growth for the entireregion. this area of the world is goingto bethe economic engine of the 21st century; in halting the spread of weaponsof massdestruction, including north korea, to stabili
47、zing nuclear missileprogram, where we have realcooperation; in greater access to affordable andclean sources of energy. it’s easier tobegin totalk about that in the united states and in china because as - mypresident kids me - i oftensay reality has a way of intruding. reality has a way of int
48、ruding. and it has intruded in bothour countries interms of global warming and the effects on air quality - storms,naturaldisasters. and it is overwhelmingly inour mutual interest that we share the capacityeach of us may have to deal witha more healthy environment. we need to keep buildingpractical
49、cooperation and manage areas where we do not seeeye-to-eye. everybody focuses on where we disagree withthe chinese. we disagree with ouralliesin other parts of the world. but china’srecent and sudden announcement of theestablishment of a new air defenseidentification zone has, to state the obvious, causedsignificant apprehensioni
