Ambassador Jon Huntsman’s Remarks at Hunan University 亨茨曼大使在湖南大学的讲话Jon Huntsman, Jr. 亨茨曼大使U.S. Ambassador to the People’s Republic of China 美国驻华大使 February 10, 2011 Ambassador Huntsman: I want to thank Clark Zhou for that very, very kind introduction. I want to thank Vice President Chen of this great university for being present here and hosting my visit. I want to thank Diane Sovereign who is our Consul General in this part of China. And mostly I want to thank you students for taking the time to be here. 亨茨曼大使：谢谢你们的学生到这来，我知道今天还在放假，辛苦你们了，到这里来跟我在一起，非常感谢你们宝贵的时间，谢谢，非常的感谢你们。 我还要感谢克拉克?左非常友好的介绍，也谢谢这个伟大大学的陈副校长的到场和接待，还要谢谢戴安·索夫伦，她是我们驻中国这个地区的总领事，特别要谢谢各位学生今天抽时间到这里。 我今天带来我的儿子，他18岁，维尔，站起来，也是一个学中文的学生…请坐吧，可是如果你要跟别人讲话，你可以到这来，可是我想，现在没有人要听到你的话。我的儿子维尔，他现在在学习中文，他喜欢橄榄球，也就是美式足球。可不可以这样说，他很壮。我不知道，他告诉我他很壮，我自己不知道，可是他明年就会开始在美国海军学校打橄榄球，明年你就可以看维尔。[Applause]. I’m so honored and thrilled to be particularly at the Yuelu Academy. I’ve just taken a tour of this remarkable center, originally one of the four great academies designed by the Emperor during the northern Song period, 960AD to 1127AD. I feel smarter and I feel like I’ve been given more wisdom, just having walked through this facility. [Laughter]. 我特别容幸，特别兴奋能够到岳麓书院，刚才参观了北宋公元960年到公元1127年间皇帝所成立的四大书院之一。参观之后，我觉得好像变得更聪明，被赋予了更多智慧。 I feel very humbled just being the American Ambassador in the presence of so many great, knowledgeable leaders in the history of China who have been here lecturing to students over the years. I’m just very very grateful to our hosts that they didn’t force me to give a lecture outside, like they did in the old days, because today it’s too cold. [Laughter]. 我感到很惭愧，我只是美国大使。有这么多知识渊博的领导人，历代以来给学生们授课。我感谢我们的主办方，没有强迫我像以前那样到室外去演讲，因为今天太冷。 I walk through the buildings and I look at the inscriptions by Emperors Kangxi and Qianlong and I’m reminded of the wisdom that has existed here, that is still passed down generation to generation that you are now benefiting from. 当我走过这些建筑物，看到康熙和乾隆皇帝写的题词时，我就想到了在这里
