外交部翻译孙宁在全国英语演讲比赛上的演讲稿
给总理当翻译的南京小伙
给总理当翻译的南京小伙作者：琴心来源：《莫愁·天下男人》 2013年第7期文琴心17岁就能审校英语书外表老成的孙宁，1981年出生在南京，二十年前，他考入南京外国语学校。
读外校期间，孙宁学习成绩非常优秀，尤其是英语。
孙宁很喜欢为大家服务，朋友特别多。
南外的学生都是英语高手，但孙宁是最拔尖的。
17岁时，他就干了一件轰动全校的事。
当时，英语名师、副校长董正璟事务非常多，有一次，一个出版社请他帮忙负责一本约20万字的英文短篇小说选的中文翻译工作。
当时董正璟对孙宁印象不错，所以抱着试一试的心理，就叫他过来帮忙。
最初，董正璟先挑了两篇小说让孙宁翻译翻译看，没想到出版社对孙宁的文学和翻译水平都非常满意。
后来，孙宁全权负责了这项工作，这本书三分之二的翻译工作都是由他完成的。
出版社的编辑都夸孙宁文采好，后来，孙宁的名字也印在了这本书上。
董正璟觉得孙宁是个特别认真、踏实、严谨的学生。
有一次，他问孙宁将来有什么打算？孙宁认真地回答，要上北京外国语大学，为国家的外交事业做贡献。
董正璨说，当时孙宁说起理想时坚定的模样，至今还印在他脑海里。
后来，孙宁在自己的总结中也提到，毕业后选择翻译这个职业，可能和高中时代的这一经历有关。
1999年，凭借出色的学习成绩和综合素质，孙宁被保送进北京外国语大学英语系口译专业。
2002年，南京外国语学校的规划指导处主任王卫忠带着二十多个南外的在校生，去参加北京外国语大学的保送生考试。
当时孙宁和同学们都在忙着备考，但知道母校的学弟们来了后，他还是召集了三四十个来自南外的同学一起去食堂看望他们。
当学弟学妹们得知他就是孙宁时，食堂里一下沸腾了。
原来，孙宁毕业后，他的故事被学弟学妹们口口相传，最后竟成了一个传奇，学弟学妹们都拿他当偶像。
给总理当翻译孙宁在北京外国语大学读书时，参加了一次全国性的英语演讲比赛，不论是华丽的英式发音，还是临场突发情况的应对，都将他的个人才能展现得淋漓尽致，赢得了台下如潮般的掌声，同时也引起了一个人的关注。

方琼：张处长，你们平时有没有碰到过，那种方言很重，说的英语听不懂的时候？
张处长：也有。比如说，有一个印度方面的官员要来访问。你可以事先上他们的网站，了解他们的一些历程，知道他们要说哪些内容。这样的话，即便你听的时候比较困难，你也知道在朝哪个方向去说。这样的话，各种因素结合在一起，就能够更好的了带方言的一些口语。

张建敏：外交部翻译室英文处的处长。
王恩冕：对外经贸大学翻译系的主任。
选手简介
1号选手苑听雷，中国国际广播电台俄语广播部记者，毕业于北京外国语大学俄语学院。
2号选手刘君怡，上海外国语大学对外汉语专业研究生，在外交部亚洲司实习。
3号选手孙宁，来自北京外国语大学口译专业，大四毕业生，曾在多种英语竞赛种获奖。
张建敏：她说的基本准确。作为翻译，一个是记的准确，另外也要记得完整。刚才我觉得她表现的很好。今天正好跟我一起来的，有我的外交部的同事张小姐，给大家展示一下我们外交部经常用到的，在交传中用的笔记，它是来辅助记忆，使我们的译文能够更加准确，更加完整。
方琼：展示一下你记的东西是什么？
方琼：有露面的时候，肯定也有漏气的时候，给我们说说好吗？
苑听雷：最难忘、最让我感到尴尬的，也是一次体育比赛。2001年国际女子网球联合会举办的中国队和俄罗斯队的比赛。赛后我们去参加新闻发布会，当时有一个组委会的官员认识我，知道我懂俄语，和我说能不能来帮他翻译一下？我当时想都没想，就答应他了。我大摇大摆地走了到翻译席上，记者提问，俄罗斯运动员就开始回答。他说了一段话，然后让我翻译。我发现他说的话我听不懂，当时就感觉很诧异。我学了这么多年的俄语，面对一个俄罗斯人说的话，我居然一句没听懂。我当时就小声跟她说，你可不可以说慢一点，再说一遍？她很宽容的又说了一遍。这个时候我才意识到，她说的不是俄语而是英语。然后我就跟她说，我是俄语翻译，你完全可以放心的讲俄语，我可以给你做翻译。她解释说，按照国际网球联合会的规定，这是一种职业化的赛事，作为运动员接受采访必须要用英语。我这个时候才真正意识到，我面临的是一个多么尴尬、多么艰难的一个场面。因为我的英语水平，在这么一场国家赛事中，面对上百名中外记者，做现场翻译，实在是差的很远很远。但我当时便急中生胆，居然一狠心，一咬牙，一跺脚，做起英语翻译来。假如她说的英语我听不懂，我就让她小声地用俄语再给我说一遍。当时我一个同事坐在台下，就看见我的脸色，一会儿红，一会儿白，既紧张又尴尬。就这样，连滚带爬的，算是把这一场翻译应付了下来。
第7届全国英语演讲比赛冠军得主英语演讲稿范文
第7届全国英语演讲比赛冠军得主英语演讲稿范文这篇第七届全国英语演讲比赛冠军得主英语演讲稿范文，是笔者特地为大家整理的，希望对大家有所帮助！To me March 28th was a lucky day. It was on that particularevening that I found myself at central stage, in thespotlight. Winning the 21st Century·Ericsson Cup SeventhNational English Speaking Competition is a memory that I shalltreasure and one that will surely stay.More important than winning the Cup is the friendship that hasbeen established and developed among the contestants, and thechance to communicate offstage in addition to competingonstage. Also the competition helps boost public speaking inChina, a skill hitherto undervalued.For me, though, the competition is a more personal experience.Habitually shy, I had been reluctant to take part in any suchactivities. Encouraged by my friends, however, I made alast-minute decision to give it a try. In the course ofpreparation I somehow rediscovered myself, a truer me.I found that, after all, I like communicating with otherpeople; that exchanging views can be so much fun—and so muchrewarding, both emotionally and intellectually; that publicspeaking is most effective when you are least guarded; andthat it is essential to success in every walk oflife.At a more practical level, I realized knowing what you aregoing to say and how you are going to say it are equallyimportant. To take the original ideas out of your head andtransplant them, so to speak, to that of others, you need tohave an organized mind. This ability improves with training.Yet there should not be any loss or addition or distortion inthe process. Those ideas that finally find their way intoanother head need to be recognizably yours. Language is ameans to transmit information, not a means to obstructcommunication. It should be lucid to be penetrating.In China, certain public speaking skills havebeen undulyemphasized. Will it really help, we are compelled to ask, tobang at the podium or yell at the top of your lungs, if youhave come with a poorly organized speech, a muddled mind, andunwillingness to truly share your views?Above all, the single most important thing I learnt was thatas a public speaker, you need to pay attention, first andforemost, to the content of your speech. And second, thestructure of your speech: how one idea relates and progressesto another.Only after these come delivery and non-verbal communication:speed control, platform manner, and so on. Pronunciation isimportant, yet of greater importance is this: Isyour languagecompetent enough to express your ideas exactly the way youintend them to be understood?I was informed afterwards that I was chosen to be the winnerfor my appropriately worded speech, excellent presence andquick-witted response. In so remarking, the judges clearlyshowed their preference: they come to listen for meaningfulideas, not for loose judgments, nor easy laughters.Some contestants failed to address their questions head on.Some were able to, but did not know where to stop—the draggingon betrayed their lack of confidence. The root cause was thatthey did not listen attentively to the questions. Or they werethinking of what they had prepared.As I said in my speech, It is vitally important that we youngpeople do more serious thinking ... to take them [issues likeglobalization] on and give them honest thinking is the firststep to be prepared for both opportunities and challengescoming our way. We need to respond honestly.A competition like this draws talented students from all overthe country. And of course, I learnt more things than justabout public speaking. Since in thfinal analysis, publicspeaking is all about effective communication. And this goestrue for all communications, whatever their setting.And the following is the final version of my speech:GLOBALIZATION:OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGESFOR CHINAS YOUNGER GENERATIONThirty years ago, American President Richard Nixon made anepoch-making visit to China, a country still isolated at thattime. Premier Zhou Enlai said to him, Your handshake cameover the vastest ocean in the world—twenty-five years of nocommunication. Thirty years since, China and America haveexchanged many handshakes. The fundamental implication of thisexample is that the need to communicate across differences inculture and ideology is not only felt by the two countries butmany other nations as well.As we can see today, environmentalists from differentcountries are making joint efforts to address the issue ofglobal warming, economists are seeking solutions to financialcrises that rage in a particular region but nonethelesscripple the world economy, and politicians and diplomats aregetting together to discuss the issue of combating terrorism.Peace and prosperity has become a common goal that we arestriving for all over the world. Underlying this mighty trendof global communication is the echo of E. M. Forsters wordsOnly connect!With the IT revolution, traditional boundaries of humansociety fall away. Our culture, politics, society and commerceare being sloshed into one large melting pot ofhumanity. Inthis interlinked world, there are no outsiders, for adisturbance in one place is likely to impact other parts ofthe globe. We have begun to realize that a world dividedcannot endure.China is now actively integrating into the world. Our recententry to the WTO is a good example. For decades, we have takenpride in being self-reliant, but now we realize the importanceof participating in and contributing to a broader economicorder. From a precarious role in the world arena to ourpresent WTO membership, we have come a long way.But what does the way ahead look like? In some parts of theworld people are demonstrating againstglobalization. Are theyjustified, then, in criticizing the globalizing world? Insteadof narrowing the gap between the rich and the poor, they say, globalization enables the developed nations to swallow the developing nations wealth in debts and interest. Globalization, they argue, should be about a common interest in every other nations economic health. We are reminded by Karl Marx that capital goes beyond national borders and eludes control from any other entity. This has become a reality. Multinational corporations are seeking the lowest cost, the largest market, and the most favourable policy. They are often powerful lobbyists in government decision-making, ruthless expansionists in the global market and a devastating presence to local businesses.For China, still more challenges exist. How are we going to ensure a smooth transition from the planned economy to a market-based one? How to construct a legal system that is sound enough and broad enough to respond to the needs of a dynamicsociety? How to maintain our cultural identity in an increasingly homogeneous world? And how to define greatness in our rise as a peace-loving nation? Globalization entails questions that concern us all. Like many young people my age in China, I want to see my country get prosperous and enjoy respect in te international community. But it seems to me that mere patriotism is not just enough. It is vitally important that we young people do more serious thinking and broaden our mind to bigger issues. There might never be easy answers to those issues such as globalization, but to take them on and give them honest thinking is the first step to be prepared for both opportunities and challenges coming our way. This is also one of the thoughts that came to me while preparing this speech.。

外交发言稿英汉互译范文
English Version:Ladies and Gentlemen,It is with great pleasure that I stand before you today to address the ongoing global challenges and the path forward that lies ahead. As we gather here, the world is facing unprecedented complexities, ranging from geopolitical tensions to environmental crises. It is in this spirit of cooperation and mutual respect that I wish to discuss some key areas where we can work together to create a more peaceful and sustainable future.Firstly, let us address the issue of geopolitical tensions. In recent years, we have witnessed a rise in conflicts and disputes that threaten regional and global stability. It is imperative that we find a way tode-escalate these tensions and foster dialogue between conflicting parties. We must recognize that no single country can solve these issues alone. It is through collective efforts and multilateral diplomacy that we can achieve lasting peace.Secondly, climate change remains one of the most pressing challenges of our time. The impacts of global warming are being felt across the globe, from rising sea levels to extreme weather events. It is crucial that we take urgent action to mitigate these effects and transition to a low-carbon economy. We must commit to ambitious goals under the Paris Agreement and support developing countries in their efforts to adapt to climate change.Thirdly, we cannot overlook the importance of economic cooperation. The global economy is interconnected like never before, and any disruptionin one region can have far-reaching consequences. It is essential that we work together to promote trade, investment, and economic growth while ensuring that the benefits are shared equitably. We must also address the issue of inequality and work towards a more inclusive global economy.Furthermore, we must prioritize the protection of human rights and the rule of law. These principles are the foundation of any just and prosperous society. We must stand together against any form ofdiscrimination, whether based on race, gender, religion, or ethnicity. It is only through the promotion of human rights that we can build a world where all individuals can live with dignity and equality.In conclusion, the road ahead is fraught with challenges, but it is also filled with opportunities. By working together, we can overcome these obstacles and create a brighter future for all. Let us commit to a path of diplomacy, dialogue, and cooperation, and let us not forget that the strength of our resolve lies in our unity.Thank you.Chinese Translation:女士们，先生们，今天，我非常荣幸地站在这里，与大家共同探讨当前全球面临的挑战以及我们前行的道路。
全国大学生英语演讲竞赛第一名演讲稿的中文翻译
we must remember to be ourselves, not phonies. Only by being sincere and respectful of others can we earn their respect. If we can do all of the above, I am sure popularity will come our way.
When we need to say no, here is one method we can try. First, we should tell the truth. If we really can't do something, we should just say so. Second, we should remember to refuse requests politely. We must communicate clearly, but must also be sincere and sympathetic. A true friend will understand. Finally, we must not feel guilty about saying no. Sometimes refusing others is the right thing to do. It can save ourselves, and them, a lot of trouble. In short, we cannot please everyone all the time. Refusing favors is a part of life.

21世纪杯”全国英语演讲比赛演讲稿
曹丰Our Future: A Battle between Dreams and RealityGood afternoon, ladies and gentlemen:When I was in the primary school, I have a dream. I want to invent a device which could bring you from one place to another in no time at all. When I was in the secondary school, my dream was to study in my ideal university. And when eventually I got into the university, my dream was to graduate.How pathetic! When we grow up, we dream less and become more realistic. Why? Why do we have to change our dreams, so, so in order to let it be "fulfilled"? Why do we have to surrender to the so-called "reality"? What IS the reality actually?Ladies and gentlemen, the reality is not real. It is a barrier keeping us from all the possible fantasies. Flying, for example, had been a dream to mankind for thousands of years. A hundred years ago, "man could not fly" was still regarded as the "reality". Now if that was really the reality, what did the Wright brothers do? How did some of you get to Macau? Only when we believe that the reality is not real can we soar with our dreams.People say that our future is a battle between the reality and our dreams. And if, unfortunately, Mr. Reality wins this war, then I see no future of mankind at all. AIDS will never be curable as this IS the reality; People living in the undeveloped countries will suffer from starvation forever as this IS the reality; 4)Disputes among different countries would never be settled as this misunderstandings and intolerance IS the reality.Ladies and gentlemen, how many of you have a dream of being able to make a lot of money? Please raise your hands. Oh, quite a number of you! Actually, ladies and gentlemen, this is not a dream, but a task. Every one of us has to make a living, right? Anyway I hope your task will be accomplished. How many of you think that you have already fulfilled your dream and that you don't dream anymore? Dear5)adjudicators, what do you think? C.S. Lewis once said, "You are never too old to dream a new dream." So for our future, please dream and be unrealistic.Now that I am a university student, my goal is to graduate with excellences. But at the same time, I have a dream deeply rooted in our future. One day, people living in the areas now 6)sweltering with the horror of wars will be able to sit with their families and enjoy their every moment. One day, people from the rich countries arewilling to share what they have with those from the poor countries and those from the poor countries will eventually be able to make their own happy living themselves. One day, different cultures in this age of globalization will coexist with tolerance and the unfriendly confrontations among them will be 7)eliminated. One day, the globe will share the dream with me and we will all contribute to making our dream come true. One day, our dream will defeat the reality! Thank you very much.第十届“21世纪杯”全国英语演讲比赛季军——张阿旭Two-Way TrafficSeven centuries ago, Marco Polo, after staying in our country for almost twenty years, brought the secrets of spaghetti and ice-cream with him back to Italy. More than seven hundred years later, with the prevalence of globalization, our people, our food, our products and many other items, have traveled to many other places beyond Italy. No matter where these Chinese people, Chinese food, Chinese products and many other Chinese items are, they carry with them qualities that are unique to our very own Chinese culture - our traditional values.In the whole process of globalization that the world is integrating politically, economically and culturally, into one, we do witness in our country a great influx of western culture and values - McDonald's, KFCs, soccer players and NBA players. And we are even having this prestigious national speaking competition in a language that does not belong to us. In the midst of western products pouring in China as a result of globalization, sometimes we do wonder, where does our own culture belong? When we see our younger generations going away from traditional values such as contextual and role-based ethics, ideal of community, hierarchy, paternalism and non-litigious nature of society, we may even think our traditional values are challenged and even threatened. But, are we really losing our values?Ladies and gentlemen, we must remember, the traffic of globalization is two-way. Yes, films from Hollywood, soccer from the United Kingdom and restaurants from America, do have an impact on our values. But, if we see globalization in China a synonymous term with western economic cultural hegemony, we are underestimating the impact of not only globalization but also our values.Have a look at languages. Yes, it is the desire and dream of every single Chinese to speak fluent English, including every single one of us here. But, have you ever wondered how many non-Chinese are learning Chinese?Let me tell you, by the end of 2002, nearly 30 million people from 85 countries and regions were learning standard Chinese, Putonghua. And who knows about the number of people learning regional dialects such as Shanghainese and Cantonese. In these two years, I am sure none of us here will be surprised that the number is skyrocketing.Have a look at Feng Shui, within 0.21 seconds Google brings you 1,270,000 websites about Feng Shui, not in Chinese, not from all over the world, but in English, just within the United States. And I guess some of you still remember, when the previous American president, Bill Clinton, first became president. He actually had the furniture of his office rearranged according to feng shui ideas.Have a look at traditional Chinese medicine. Four years ago, in 2001, there were already more than 120 000 traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, researchers and related business trading companies in Europe, just Europe. Our holistic approach of taking care of a person's health has been proven popular in the world.Our values, language, our Feng Shui, our traditional medicine and also Kung Fu that I have not really talked about, are all parts and messengers of our culture and values. What does their success in the west tell us? Their popularity tells us that, alongside cheap consumer products, we are exporting to the west, Chinese beliefs and, values.Ladies and gentlemen, globalization, yes it has its impacts on our values. It is sending our values overseas and bringing in new ones. Let's not see the bringing in of new ones a threat to our own culture. As a matter of fact, the bringing in is a very good opportunity and time to rethink and reflect who we are and what we want to be. It is upon us whether globalization has a positive or negative impact on our traditional values. Ladies and gentlemen, I see this positively, I know even if our traditional values are changing or to change, the change is for better, not for worse.Thank you very much.第十届“21世纪杯”全国英语演讲比赛亚军——张京The Impact of Globalization on Traditional Chinese ValuesGood morning, ladies and gentlemen:Before western and Chinese civilization came into close contact, Chinese people had always longed for a life depicted in traditional Chinese paintings. Those paintings present a harmonious coexistence of people and other life forms. Regarded as the essence of ancient Chinese philosophies,harmony has been deeply-rooted in the minds of the Chinese people. On the one hand, it has contributed to the unique continuity of Chinese civilization. On the other, Chinese people became too much contented with their achievements to desire any further changes. As globalization deepens, it is bound to affect our ideal of harmony.First, globalization urges China to speed up its modernization, which threatens our regard for the harmony between Man and Nature. For instance, many dams and hydropower stations are being built for economic benefits at the expense of the well-preserved natural habitats. However, ecological malpractice of such kind goes against the notion of harmonious coexistence in ancient Chinese philosophies. More than 2,000 years ago, long before the concept of environmental protection came into being, DuJiang Weir, a great irrigation project was built in southwestern China's Sichuan province. It succeeded both in controlling floods and in facilitating the agriculture without posing a threat to the environment.Moreover, globalization has brought with it intense competition. Traditionally, moderation is a golden principle, presiding overinter-personal relations in China. Today, however, motivated to come to the top, some people become so self-centered that they choose to sacrifice love, friendship and even family ties.Last but not least, diverse cultures have met in China as a consequence of globalization. Therefore, a clash of cultures becomes inevitable. Unfortunately, the past decades have witnessed a huge loss of cultural heritage in China. In cities like Beijing and Xi'an, hundreds of century-old Chinese-style houses are being demolished to make room for skyscrapers, shopping malls and eight-lane expressways.From these examples, we see the disharmony brought about by globalization. Yet it is not globalization that is to blame. As long as we approach globalization with harmony in mind, its benefit will outweigh its cost. Take my hometown, Hangzhou, for example, thanks to the strenuous efforts made by the municipal government in achieving eco-development, various water birds have returned to the West Lake, calling it home again after years of migration elsewhere. From the lake bank, we see skateboarders and trick cyclists showing off together with people flying kites and kicking shuttlecocks on the plaza nearby. Although they compose a picture quite distinct from traditional Chinese paintings, this picture conveys a modern sense of harmony in this era of globalization.Ladies and gentlemen, to conclude, I would like to quote from British philosopher Bertrand Russell. In contrasting Chinese and Western civilizations, he observed: "The distinctive merit of westerncivilization is the scientific method; the distinctive merit of the Chinese is a just conception of the ends of life. It is these two that one must hope to see gradually uniting." As we see the tremendous progress China has been making drawing on experience abroad, we may also expect the Chinese traditional value of harmony to enrich the world. I look forward to the time when Russell's prophecy comes true.Thank you very much.第十届“21世纪杯”全国英语演讲比赛冠军——夏鹏From Walls to BridgesI'm studying in a city famous for its walls. All visitors to my city are amazed by the imposing sight of the city walls, silhouetted by the setting sun with gold and shining lines. With old, cracked bricks patched with lichen, the walls are weather-beaten guards, standing still for centuries in protecting the city.Our ancestors liked to build walls. They built walls in Beijing, Xi'an, Nanjing and many other cities, and they built the Great Wall, which snakes through half of our country. They built walls to ward off enemies and evil spirits. This tradition has been maintained to this day as we still have many parks and schools walled off from the public. I grew up at the foot of the city walls, and I've loved them since my childhood. For a long time, walls were one of the most natural things in the world.My perception, however, changed after a hiking trip to the Eastern Suburbs, a scenic area of my city. My classmates and I were walking with some international students. As we walked out of the city, we found ourselves flanked by taller and taller trees, which formed a huge canopy above our heads. Suddenly an international student asked me, "Where is the entrance to the Eastern Suburbs?""We're already in the Eastern Suburbs," I replied.He seemed taken aback, "I thought you Chinese have walls for everything." His remark set off a heated debate. At one point, he likened our walled cities to "jails," while I insisted that the Eastern Suburbs were one of the many places in China that had no walls.That debate had no winners, but I did learn a lot from this international student. For instance, he told me that universities like Oxford andCambridge were not surrounded by walls; the campuses were just part of the cities. I have to admit that we do have many walls in China, and as we are developing our country, we must carefully examine them, whether they are physical or intangible. We will keep some walls but tear down those that impede China's development.Let me give you an example.A year ago, when I was working on a term paper, I needed a book on business law and found a copy in the law school library. However, the librarian turned down my request with a cold shoulder, saying, "You can't borrow this book, you are not a student here." In the end, I had to spend 200 yuan buying a copy; meanwhile, the copy in law school was gathering dust on the shelf.At the beginning of this semester, I heard that my university has started not only to unify its libraries but also link them up with libraries of other universities, so my experience will not be repeated. Barriers will be replaced by bridges. Through an inter-library loan system, we will have access to books from any library. With globalization, with China integrated into the world, I believe many of these intangible walls will be knocked down.I know globalization is a controversial issue, and it is hard to say whether it is good or bad. But one thing is for sure: it draws our attention to China's tangible and intangible walls and forces us to examine their roles in the modern world.And how about the ancient walls in my city and other cities? Should we tear them down? Just the opposite. My city, like Beijing and other cities, is actually making a great effort to preserve the walls. These walls attract not only historians and archeologists but also many schoolchildren trying to study our history and cultural heritage. Walls have turned into bridges to our past and to the rest of the world. If the ancient builders of these walls were still alive today, they would be proud to see such great change in the role of their walls. They are now bridges that link East and West, South and North, and all countries of the world. Our cultural heritage will survive第七届“21世纪杯”全国英语演讲比赛冠军——孙宁孙宁北京外国语大学1981年生于南京。

外交部翻译孙宁在全国英语演讲比赛上的演讲稿篇一：外交部翻译孙宁在全国英语演讲比赛上的演讲稿孙宁，1981年生于南京。
1993年考取南京外国语学校，其间获全国中学生英语能力竞赛和中澳国际英语能力竞赛高中组特等奖。
1999年保送北京外国语大学英语系口译专业 8月入外交部翻译室工作，次年9月公派赴英国留学。
孙宁在XX年3月第十一届全国人大二次会议上为发言人李肇星担任口译。
以下是他当年参加第七届“21世纪杯”全国英语演讲比赛获冠军时的演讲：globalization: challenges and opportunities for chinas younger generation 全球化：中国年轻一代所面临的机遇与挑战 good morning, ladies and gentlemen.today i’m very happy to be here to share with you some of my thoughts on the topicof globalization. and first of all, i would like to mention an event in our recenthistory.正如我们今天所看到的，不同国家的环保专家们正齐心协力在全球变暖这一问题上各抒己见；经济学家们一同寻找着对付金融危机的办法，虽然这一危机只发生在一定区域，但它还是会阻碍世界经济的发展；外交官和政治家们则聚到一起探讨打击恐怖主义的问题。
和平与繁荣已成为全世界共同奋斗的目标。
如此强大趋势的“全球化”正应证了e. m. 福斯特的那句话：“但求沟通！”decision-making, ruthless expansionists in the global market place and adevastating presence to local businesses.卡尔·马克思提醒我们，资本跨越国界，便会逃离对象国政治实体的管制，这一点已成为现实。
跨国公司一直在实行寻求最低成本、最大市场和最多收益的政策。
他们常常在政府做决定时施加强大的影响力，在全球市场上无情地扩张并在地区贸易中形成极强的杀伤力。
for china, still more challenges exist. how are we going to ensure a smooth transition from the planned economy to a market-based one? how to construct a legalsystem that is sound enough and broad enough to respond to the needs of a dynamicsociety? how to maintain our cultural identity inan increasingly homogeneous world?and how to define greatness in our rise as a peace-loving nation? globalizationentails questions that concern us all.第七届全国大学生英语演讲比赛孙宁的演讲稿globalization: challenges and opportunities for chinas younger generationgood morning, ladies and gentlemen: today im very happy to be here to share with you some of my thoughts on the topicof globalization. and first of all, i would like to mention an event in our recenthistory.13篇三：外交部80后“总理翻译”孙宁的学习心得 my english journey——第七届“21世纪-爱立信杯”全国英语演讲比赛冠军孙宁孙宁：1981年生于古城南京。

colin powell说过，没有美国就没有今天的他，自然也就没有那本风靡一时的myamerican journey。
不是因为英语的缘故，今天的我不会是这样，也就不会有这篇文章。
powell说过，自己是a student of history。
我也以自己是a student of english而自豪，是为题记。
a bumpy start开始接触英语是在小学五年级。
那时每学完一课，老师会在黑板上写下生词的中文，然后找人上去写英文，完了再带大家读一遍。
为了不当“出头鸟”，每到英语课，一向很皮的我总是变得很乖。
可这一天终究躲不过，虽然手心写了“阿姆布热拉”之类，可在黑板前吭哧了半天也没把umbrella拼对。
小学升初中英语考了96，但周围清一色的满分让我抬不起头来。
好在英语要折成20分满分——加上我语文不错——才勉强进了外语学校。
外语学校集中了全市的优等生。
我的同桌就很厉害——告诉我他有英文名了，叫superman。
但第一节课过后，他终究没能保住自己的名字。
老师给我们取名：我叫peter，他叫paul——日后有人调侃：“xx催你还钱，没钱就找孙宁借”，打成语一个：rob peter topay paul。
这堂课让我再次感到自己不是学语言的料。
同班一个女孩的名字（laura）我舌头怎么也绕不过来；课代表名字（margaret）的拼写是到初三时才记住的。
getting on my way 孺子不可教，但老师却有教无类。
中学第一位英语老师叫程翠瑛，有近三十年的教龄。
程老师要求很严，但我们却很感激她：没有严师，哪来高徒？她上课条理清楚，一丝不苟；课下还主动帮我们答疑，给我们念诗，教我们唱歌。
初二寒假前，程老师说下学期不教我们了，我知道当时我的眼里是有泪水的。
这就是我爱上英语的第一步，有一位好的启蒙老师。
磁带上的那些“鸟语”，我很快就听懂是什么了。
相信下面几句在日后外校同学聚会时都会提起并得到大家响应：meet sandy and sue. this is sue’s class. her teacher’s mrkrisp ?。
这就是被我们简称为3l的look, listen and learn!，那代学子心中的经典。
爱屋及乌，我们自然也就崇敬它的编者，一个秃秃的小老头。
数年后某天下午，老先生辞世的消息从收音机里传来，才好像真正宣布那个时代的终结。
现在，每当我看见外研社边老先生的塑像，就会默默祈祷每个刚开始接触英语的人都能有我这么幸运，有本好的启蒙教材。
虽然喜欢英语，可高分总和我无缘。
有半年时间，我的英语成绩一直在88到89.5之间徘徊。
“peter，怎么又是89.5，不能再高哪怕0.5分？”程老师曾经恨铁不成钢地问我。
其实，铁不是刚，不全是因为粗心，也不总是运气不好，全是因为火候未到。
只要点破了那层窗户纸，就会豁然开朗。
举个例子，一次考填空，答案是chimney。
全班有一半同学都想到了，就是不会拼。
拿到卷子我才悟到：原来拼写多数情况下都是按读音走的呀！这么简单的道理，原先怎么没想到呢？除了顿悟，还要善于观察、归纳。
语言不是数学，没有一定之规，有也总有大量例外。
但纵使归纳错了，也是一个收获，不是吗？一次测验，考stop后面跟的动词形式，当时虽学过like加不定式和动名词的区别，但没学过stop加doing，更别说to do，考得有点超前。
但我想，既然like有这样的区分，stop可能也有吧，于是选了to do。
试卷发下来，我错了。
但我觉得自己比那些无论是（扔硬币）蒙对的还是想都不想就填了to do的人都厉害，因为我动了脑筋。
虽然我的推断最后证明是错的，但通过这么一番类比，我对stop to do和doing的分别印象一定比别人深，这就是收获。
找到了这样一个窍门，我以后每次英语都考在九十分以上，再没有失手过，还不时拿第一，先是班上的，然后是年级、省市乃至全国。
英语学习的轻松，还带动了我其他课的成绩，从“一枝独秀”到“春色满园”。
is there a short cut? 如果就此以为学英语有捷径，那就错了。
有的办法虽然“笨”，只要持之以恒就一定有效果。
“笨”办法有很多，我愿意和大家分享我自己实践过、确实感到有用的几种。
一是听录音。
初中时要求，每篇课文要听三十遍。
我不知道别人有没有坚持下来，我反正照做了：每天晚上捧着随身听（那会儿还没有复读机），听一遍在纸上划一道杠，直到划满六个“正”字。
虽然不能说每遍都精神高度集中，但那么多小时听下来，对语感是一个很大的提高。
当然，录音质量一定要高，最好是英语是母语的人用正常速度录制的，那种哗众取宠的“洋话连篇”之类就像魔咒，听得越多坏处越大。
二是抄句型。
我学3l时，老师上课要大家口头轮流造句，下课还要付诸笔头，造一页纸、大约十来句。
我的句型就是这样学来的，一点秘诀都没有。
当然，抄的时候不能“有手无心”，当时抄错是要重罚的。
三是默读。
平时做题、温书总是喜欢读出声来。
时间一长竟有了意想不到的收获：语感比同龄人好了许多，应该得益于此。
用功，再加上点巧劲，进步会更快。
要善于琢磨，举一反三。
我记性差，不愿背（课文、单词、语法），就试着多理解，理解了就不用背了。
到底是two third还是two thirds，中间有没有连字符？一般说on monday，但前面的介词可不可以拿掉呢？是不是一定得说fishand chips，反过来就不行呢？这些都是我研究的对象。
得到了答案还不满足，总要想一想能不能推广到其他地方，举一反三。
做题也一样，每次都会问自己：出题人想考的是什么？这样，就不用陷于题海战术，白白浪费掉宝贵的时间和学英语的兴趣。
那时只要考英语，前一天我准保在家看闲书或温习其他功课，第二天仍然考第一。
初二上学期，我开始觉得自己上课“吃不饱”，怎么办？自己“开小灶”。
当时广播里介绍台湾的一个英语教学节目let’s talk in english，心里就痒痒的，也没管学校只教到一般过去时的规则变化，就“初生牛犊不怕虎”，买了书和磁带，跟着学了起来。
刚开始很吃劲，生词多，语法没见过，经常莫明其妙。
好在广播里老师教得耐心，我学得专心，渐渐地“拦路虎”少了。
