伊丽莎白演讲稿中英文对照.doc

Mr. President, Prince Philip and I are delighted to welcome you and Madame Peng to Buckingham Palace this evening. 主席先生，菲利普亲王和我本人非常高兴地欢迎您和您的夫人彭丽媛女士今晚来做客白金汉宫。 Your visit to the United Kingdom marks a milestone in this unprecedented year of co-operation and friendship between the United Kingdom and China, as we celebrate the ties between our two countries and prepare to take them to ambitious new heights. 您对英国的访问，对于今年这一英中两国合作和友谊的前所未有的年份来说，是一个重要的里程碑。我们要庆祝两国之间的友好关系，并要将其推向雄心勃勃的新高度。 The United Kingdom and China have a warm and longstanding friendship.
