Respected Mr Ma Ying-jeou, dear friends, good afternoon everyone: 今天是一个非常特别的日子，两岸领导人见面，翻开了两岸关系历史性的一页。历史将会记住今天。
Today is a very special day when leaders on both sides of Taiwan Strait meet with each other, which opened a historical page of cro-strait relations and today will be marked in history.曾几何时，台海阴云密布，两岸军事对峙，同胞隔海相望，亲人音讯断绝，给无数家庭留下了刻苦铭心的伤痛，甚至是无法弥补的遗憾。
We still remember the days when Taiwan straight was cloudy by military confrontation, which caused the people from the two sides separated even some of them cut off from their loved ones.History has left bad memories and deep regrets for unfold families on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.But the Strait cannot prevent relatives and friends from miing each other.然而，海峡隔不断兄弟亲情，挡不住同胞对家乡故土的思念和对家人团聚的渴望。同胞亲情的力量终于在上个世纪八十年代冲开了两岸封锁的大门。2008年以来，两岸关系走上了和平发展的道路。过去七年，台海局势安定祥和，两岸关系成果丰硕，两岸双方和广大同胞为此付出了大量心血。
However, the separation can not cut off our bond of brotherhood and stop our compatriots of the hometown thoughts and aspirations for family reunion.The power of kinship in the 1980s finally pushed forward the dialogue acro the Strait.Since 2008, the two sides acro the Strait have stepped on a peaceful period.In the last seven years, the two sides acro the Straits have made much progre in the development of cro-Strait relations, and these are due to the hard work of the people from both sides.正因为有了这七年的积累，两岸双方才能迈出今天这历史性的一步。在此，我要向所有为推动两岸关系发展做出贡献的同胞和朋友表示衷心的感谢。
The past seven years witne the stable situation cro-Straight and fruitful achievements for the two sides, for which, the governments and the people from two sides contributed a lot.At this juncture, I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to To: Yaru Liu

The 66 years relation indicates that no matter how much difficulty we have gone through, no power can separate us because we are closely-knit kinsmen, and blood is thicker than water.Now we are at a juncture in our relationship.
当前，两岸关系发展面临方向和道路的抉择，我们今天坐在一起，是为了让历史悲剧不再重演，让两岸关系和平发展成果不得而复失，让两岸同胞继续开创和平安宁的生活，让我们的子孙后代共享美好的未来。
