2、on”through“mere exchange of words”.Ceremonial speaking shares aims,beliefs,values and aspirations.Nowadays,more and more leaders increasingly make use of these occasions to extend their positions or attitudes of their countries or governments.Therefore,interpretation of ceremonial speeches is very i

5、,eulogies,keynotes,inaugurals,and commencement speeches.Following are definitions of some types of ceremonial speeches,please get familiar with them.A speech of welcome is in order if you are called on to provide greetings to a visitor to your organization,to new members,or to make your own remarks

6、on joining a group.In a farewell speech you may say good-bye as you move on to another position or retire,or extend your groups farewell to a departing member.A speech of acceptance normally follows an award presentation,an election victory,or a success of some kind.The speech of thank-you is your a

7、cknowledgment of services or aid given to you by others.It should include a tribute to those being recognized.The toast is a recognition or tribute to a person or a group,in which a short speech is given and some liquid sipped as a means of acknowledging the recipient.The after-dinner speech is freq

8、uently used at luncheons,dinners,and banquets.Its purpose is to provide an entertaining or compelling message on a theme.A keynote speech usually serves as the central point of a conference or convention and typically is presented early in the proceedings to function as the rallying cry for those in

9、volved.An inaugural speech,given when a new officeholder assumes responsibilities,is designed to set the tone for new beginnings.A commencement address commemorates old experiences and new beginnings for members of a graduating class.The style of interpreting ceremonial speeches should be paid enoug

10、h attention to.It requires the interpreters not only to speak fluently,accurately with appropriate choice of words and rhythm but also to fully convey the emotion of the speakers and help build up the atmosphere of the ceremony.Generally speaking,such occasions are often large with too big audience

11、that may make the interpreters too nervous.Hence,interpreters should seize more opportunities to practice speaking aloud in front of the public in order to be courageous and try to develop good persona manners besides the training of language quality.Here is an example of an acceptance speech given

12、by Martin Luther King,on the occasion of the award of the Nobel Peace Prize in Oslo,December 10,1964.Read it and have a general idea of the speech style.Your Majesty,Your Royal Highness,Mr.President,Excellencies,Ladies and Gentlemen:I accept the Nobel Prize for Peace at a moment when 22 million Negr

13、oes of the United States of America are engaged in a creative battle to end the long night of racial injustice.I accept this award on behalf of a civil rights movement which is moving with determination and a majestic scorn for risk and danger to establish a reign of freedom and a rule of justice.I

14、am mindful that only yesterday in Birmingham,Alabama,our children,crying out for brotherhood,were answered with fire hoses,snarling dogs and even death.I am mindful that only yesterday in Philadelphia,Mississippi;young people seeking to secure the right to vote were brutalized and murdered.And only

15、yesterday more than 40 houses of worship in the State of Mississippi alone were bombed or burned because they offered a sanctuary to those who would not accept segregation.I am mindful that debilitating and grinding poverty afflicts my people and chains them to the lowest rung of the economic ladder

16、.Therefore,I must ask why this prize is awarded to a movement which is beleaguered and committed to unrelenting struggle;to a movement which has not won the very peace and brotherhood which is the essence of the Nobel Prize.After contemplation,I conclude that this award which I receive on behalf of

17、that movement is a profound recognition that nonviolence is the answer to the crucial political and moral question of our time-the need for man to overcome oppression and violence without resorting to violence and oppression.Civilization and violence are antithetical concepts.Negroes of the United S

18、tates,following the people of India,have demonstrated that nonviolence is not sterile passivity,but a powerful moral force which makes for social transformation.Sooner or later all the people of the world will have to discover a way to live together in peace,and thereby transform this pending cosmic

19、 elegy into a creative psalm of brotherhood.If this is to be achieved,man must evolve for all human conflict a method which rejects revenge,aggression and retaliation.The foundation of such a method is love.The tortuous road which has led from Montgomery,Alabama to Oslo bears witness to this truth.T

20、his is a road over which millions of Negroes are travelling to find a new sense of dignity.This same road has opened for all Americans a new era of progress and hope.It has led to a new Civil Rights Bill,and it will,I am convinced,be widened and lengthened into a super highway of justice as Negro an

22、hat the isness of mans present nature makes him morally incapable of reaching up for the eternal oughtness that forever confronts him.I refuse to accept the idea that man is mere flotsom and jetsom in the river of life,unable to influence the unfolding events which surround him.I refuse to accept th

23、e view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality.I refuse to accept the cynical notion that nation after nation must spiral down a militaristic stairway into the hell of thermonuclear de

24、struction.I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality.This is why right temporarily defeated is stronger than evil triumphant.I believe that even amid todays mortar bursts and whining bullets,there is still hope for a brighter tomorrow.I believe that wound

25、ed justice,lying prostrate on the blood-flowing streets of our nations,can be lifted from this dust of shame to reign supreme among the children of men.I have the audacity to believe that peoples everywhere can have three meals a day for their bodies,education and culture for their minds,and dignity

26、,equality and freedom for their spirits.I believe that what self-centered men have torn down men other-centered can build up.I still believe that one day mankind will bow before the altars of God and be crowned triumphant over war and bloodshed,and nonviolent redemptive good will proclaim the rule o

27、f the land.And the lion and the lamb shall lie down together and every man shall sit under his own vine and fig tree and none shall be afraid.I still believe that we shall overcome!Today I come to Oslo as a trustee,inspired and with renewed dedication to humanity.I accept this prize on behalf of all

28、 men who love peace and brotherhood.I say I come as a trustee,for in the depths of my heart I am aware that this prize is much more than an honor to me personally.Every time I take a flight,I am always mindful of the many people who make a successful journey possible-the known pilots and the unknown

29、 ground crew.So you honor the dedicated pilots of our struggle who have sat at the controls as the freedom movement soared into orbit.You honor,once again,Chief Lutuli of South Africa,whose struggles with and for his people,are still met with the most brutal expression of mans inhumanity to man.You

30、honor the ground crew without whose labor and sacrifices the jet flights to freedom could never have left the earth.Most of these people will never make the headline and their names will not appear in Whos Who.Yet when years have rolled past and when the blazing light of truth is focused on this mar

31、velous age in which we live-men and women will know and children will be taught that we have a finer land,a better people,a more noble civilization-because these humble children of God were willing to suffer for righteousness sake.I think Alfred Nobel would know what I mean when I say that I accept

50、天，中英两国政府和工商界的人士聚集在这里，围绕“新挑战、新机遇”这一主题，深入探讨应对危机、共谋发展的重大举措，具有十分重要的现实意义。在此，我预祝研讨会取得成功！毋庸置疑，这场国际金融危机，使世界经济陷入上世纪大萧条以来最困难的境地。作为一个外向度较高的发展中国家，中国的经济发展，特别是对外贸易投资也受到了较大的冲击。从2008年11月份开始，中国进出口贸易连续三个月出现负增长，吸收外商直接投资出现了明显下滑趋势。我们也注意到，英国经济增长和就业也遭受了严重打击。双边贸易也受到负面影响，今年1月，中英双边贸易额同比下降21.6%，下降幅度之大、速度之快是罕见的。当前，为应对危机和挑战，世界各
