Key to translation 下午好，女士们先生们，欢迎来到中国！欢迎来到北京！
我国古代伟大的哲学家孔子曾经说过：“有朋自远方来，不亦说乐乎！”今天，我很高兴代表中国青年旅游总公司，向来自太平洋彼岸的尊贵的客人们致以我们最热烈的欢迎。我也希望你们在北京的这短短的一段时间里，不仅能够看的满意，吃的满意，而且能够亲身体验中国文化，能够更深入地了解中国人民和正在进行的中国辉煌的改革开放。请允许我介绍一下我自己，我叫李明，你们可以叫我小李。这是我们的司机，刘师傅，他已经有二十多年的驾龄，几乎是我在青旅工作时间的2倍。你们在北京就会一直坐这一辆车，为以后方便，烦请几下它的车牌号31345.我再重复一遍，31345，记下了吗？ Homework: For most of you I suppose this is your first trip to China.While you are here, you will learn about our culture and history, as well as the realities of modern China.On the one hand , China is one of the oldest continuous civilizations in the world , with a history that reaches back over 5，000 years , on the other hand, the People’s Republic of China was established on October 1，1949.So , although we are among the oldest civilizations , we are also among the youngest nations of the world .Even with our long history, we are still a developing country, especially in the area of tourism.Years ago, for example, there were virtually no tour groups in China, but today, tourism has grown by leaps and bounds.We are building more facilities and training more personnel such as myself to accommodate and serve the growing numbers of people who are eager to visit China, and our long tradition of hospitality is legendary.We hope that this will be one of the special memories you’ll take home with you.
