问题  
下面你将听到的是一段有关中美交流的讲话。
    中美两国建交以来,人民之间的交往不断扩大。两国已缔结了33对友好省州和123对姊妹城市。去年,到中国旅游的美国人多达13l万人次。中国赴美探亲、求学、经商的有44万人次。中国有超过18万人曾在美国留学,目前在读的留学生有六万余人。而在中国学习的美国留学生只有约3000人,位居外国在华留学人数第3位。中美在教育领域的交流与合作还有很大发展空间。中国绝大多数大中小学生都学习英语,总人数超过1.2亿。美国已有近1000所高校和200多所中小学开设了中文课程,华人华侨开办了近600所中文学校,包括在马里兰大学创建的孔子学院。但与中美交往的需要相比,美国的汉语教学任重道远。
    中美两国人民相互抱有友好感情,美国卡通形象“米老鼠”在中国深受小朋友喜爱,中国篮球运动员姚明在美国也是家喻户晓。不断深化和扩大两国人民的交流与合作,增进相互了解与友谊,将有助于夯实中美建设性合作关系的社会基础,也有助于更好地服务两国人民的利益。中国文化部和美国肯尼迪表演艺术中心计划在华盛顿共同举办“中国艺术节”,届时600多名中国艺术家将登台献艺或举办艺术展览。这是中美两国文化交流的又一盛事。
    我们在人际交往中信奉“和而不同”的原则,我们历来主张各国文明虽有不同,却不相斥;虽有差异,却能交融。作为世界上有重要影响的大国,中美应该相互尊重、相互学习、求同存异、取长补短,为不同国家、不同文明之间和谐共存、进行建设性合作树立榜样,为实现人类的共同发展作出贡献。
    青少年代表着世界的未来。从两国交流学生的身上,我看到了中美人民间的深厚友谊,看到了中美关系的光明前景。我相信,中美关系的明天一定会更加美好。明天属于未来一代,创造美好的明天则是我们这一代人必须承担的责任。让我们立足当前,放眼长远,从战略的高度审视和处理中美关系,认真落实两国领导人达成的共识,坚持中美三个联合公报的指导原则,牢牢把握两国共同利益,加强对话、交流与合作,推动中美建设性合作关系不断向前发展。

选项

答案 Since the establishment of diplomatic ties between China and the United States, contacts between the two peoples have been on constant increase. Thirty-three pairs of friendship provinces (states) and 123 pairs of sister cities have been twinned. More than 1.31 million Americans visited China last year alone while 440,000 Chinese went the other way for family reunion, education or business. More than 180,000 Chinese have studied in the United States with over 60,000 still studying in US schools or universities. In contrast, only some 3,000 Americans are now studying in China, ranking third in foreign student population breakdown. Clearly there is a huge potential for educational exchanges and cooperation between the two countries. In China, most colleges, middle schools and primary Schools have English on their curriculums, with the total number of students reaching 120 million. In the United States, nearly 1,000 colleges and over 200 elementary or high schools offer Chinese courses. The Chinese communities have set up some 600 Chinese language schools, including the Confucius School set up in the University of Maryland. Still, Chinese language learning in the United States is a far cry from the needs of bilateral exchanges. The Chinese and Americans have cherished warm sentiments towards each other. Mickey Mouse is very popular among Chinese kids while Chinese basketball star Yao Ming a household name in this country. Increased exchanges and cooperation between our two peoples will help increase mutual understanding and friendship and bolster public support for the constructive and cooperative relations between the two countries, thus better serving the interests of our peoples. China’s Ministry of Culture and the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in the United States have planned to jointly host the Chinese Art Festival in Washington DC, when more than 600 Chinese artists will give performance or hold art exhibitions. This is yet another big event in Sino-US cultural exchanges. We follow the principle of " harmony without uniformity" in interpersonal communication. We always believe that different countries with different origins of civilization can get along with each other in a harmonious way instead of repelling each other. As major countries of global influence, China and the United States should respect and learn from each other, seek common ground while shelving differences, and complement each other with respective strengths. In so doing, we can set a good example for different countries and civilizations to live side by side harmoniously and engage in constructive cooperation, making a contribution to the common development of humanity. The youth represents the future of our world. I see in the exchange students of China and the United States the profound friendship between the two peoples and the bright prospects of Sino-US relations. I am confident that future relations between our two countries will be infinitely better. Though tomorrow belongs to the next generation, the obligation to create a beautiful tomorrow falls on the shoulders of the current generation. Let us ground ourselves on the current situation and take a long view with a strategic vision when looking at and handling Sino-US relations. Let us earnestly act on the agreement reached by our state leaders, keep faith with the principles of the three joint communiqués, focus ourselves on our common interests with strengthened dialogue, exchanges and cooperation, thus moving forward the constructive and cooperative relations between the two countries.
