CSR is an area to which the British Government attaches particular importance. Indeed, I believe that the British Government was the first, anywhere in the world, to appoint a Minister with specific responsibility for CSR. So it is with that in mind that we have organized today’s event – an event which the British Consulate-General in Guangzhou – particularly our Cultural and Education Section, also known as the British Council – and the British Consulate-General in Hong Kong have worked hard together to deliver. The event has been made possible through funding from the British Foreign and Commonwealth Office – in particular through what is known as the Global Opportunities Fund – and from UK Trade & Investment.

As Chinese companies seek to develop their ambitions of “going global”, or to work in partnership with international companies, as well as to meet the changing expectations of domestic consumers over the coming years, they too will have to take into account and react to the demands of the global consumer – CSR will need to play an increasingly important role in business planning and decision-making. In this “workshop of the world”, the source of a major proportion of China’s exports, local businesses cannot afford to ignore global trends if they want to play a full role in the global market place. Key words:

CSR= Corporate Social Responsibility: 企业社会责任

The British Consulate-General in Guangzhou: 英国驻广州领事馆 Cultural and Education Section: 文化教育处 Global Opportunities Fund: 环球机会基金 UK Trade & Investment: 英国贸易投资总署 seek to: 寻求

take into account: 考虑 react to: 作出反应

in the global market place: 在全球市场中 （2） 看原稿，将该部分译成英文

It is a great pleasure to be here to celebrate with you the centennial of Beijing University, a university that has played an important role in your country's development over the past hundred years. // Development, we are increasingly realizing, is about the transformation of society - a movement from traditional relations, traditional ways of thinking, traditional ways of dealing with health and education, traditional methods of production, to more “modern” ways. // For instance, a

characteristic of traditional societies is the acceptance of the world as it is; the modern perspective recognizes change and recognizes that we, as individuals and societies, can take actions - for example, to reduce infant mortality, increase life spans, and increase productivity. // Key to these changes is the movement to “scientific” ways of thinking, identifying critical variables that affect outcomes, attempting to make inferences based on available data, recognizing what we know and what we do not know. // Many countries have long recognized the importance of a scientific approach; the challenging task is to bring that ideal to life. // For example, some ideologies have cloaked themselves in the mantle of science without embracing its core, which is the rigorous testing of theories against evidence. // Key words: centennial 百年纪念 transformation 变革

cloaked themselves in 披着… 外衣；打着…幌子 without embracing its core 未抓住精髓

近几天，广州市到处洋溢着友好的气氛，参加美国商会亚太地区理事会年会的各位工商界的朋友们陆续来到广州，为我们这座美丽的海滨城市增添了光彩。我深为自己的城市能够吸引到如此多尊贵的客人而感到骄傲。// 首先，请允许我代表广州1000万人民对各位来宾的到来表示热烈的欢迎，对这次会议的召开表示衷心的祝贺，对美国商会给予广州的信任和支持表示诚挚的感谢！ //

各位朋友们，女士们、先生们，中国有句古语：他山之石，可以攻玉。这句话给我们以启示：经济资源的有效配置，需要打破国界。// 在这一过程中，广州不再是我们自己的广州，它将走向世界，纳入国际经济体系之中。// 顺应经济全球化大趋势，加强与美国的贸易投资合作，促进广州与美国的经济发展，这是我们的城市向各位与会者表达的积极愿望，也是我们今后不懈努力的目标！//
