【文章內(nèi)容簡介】 and under budget, an unheard of acplishment.He’s brought prehensive patent reform legislation closer to passage than it has in decades.And there’s just so much else that can be pointed to in such a history of distinction in his many public service responsibilities.And now, he bees the first Chinese American to represent the United States as ambassador in Beijing. 加里的辛勤工作不僅僅幫助了他的家人。他還為改善華盛頓州人民和美國人民的生活做出貢獻。在兩次全國衰退期間，他在華盛頓州是一個非常出色的就業(yè)機會創(chuàng)造者。他曾領(lǐng)導(dǎo)我們?yōu)樵黾用绹隹谶M行的努力。他在規(guī)定的時間和預(yù)算內(nèi)完成了人口普查，這是一個前所未聞的成就。他推動全面專利改革的立法取得進展，超過了過去幾十年的成績。他在眾多公共服務(wù)的崗位上服務(wù)，寫下了如此光輝的歷史，取得了如此杰出的成績，另外還有許多值得贊揚的地方?，F(xiàn)在，他成為代表美國出任駐北京大使的第一位美籍華人。Now, as serious as he is, those of us who know him know that he can loosen up.(Laughter.)And I’ve heard the stories about singing the night that he won the governorship in front of casts of hundreds.I love the story about how he proposed to Mona with a banner attached to a little airplane that flew by that said, “Mona, I love you. Will you marry me?”And I think for his three children, they should know that he says all the time that, despite being a governor or a cabinet secretary, the most important job he’s ever had is being your father.And I thank you for going with your father to Beijing.(Laughter.)Because I know it’s not easy, but I believe you’re going to have an amazing experience, and I know how much it will mean to the people of China to meet all of you as well.當然，雖然他看上去有些嚴肅，我們知道他也有輕松的時候。(笑聲)我聽說，他贏得州長選舉的那一夜，在數(shù)百名聽眾面前一展歌喉的故事。我喜歡聽他向蒙娜求愛的故事。他在一架小飛機上掛了一面旗子，飛機飛上天，旗子上寫著：“蒙娜，我愛你。你願意嫁給我嗎？”我覺得他的三個孩子都知道，他總是說，不管是州長或內(nèi)閣部長，他做過的最重要的工作是當你們的父親。我感謝你們與父親一起去北京。(笑聲)因為我知道這并不容易，但我相信你們將有一番不尋常的經(jīng)歷，我知道，對中國人民來說，見到你們也多么意味深長。Gary, I also know that you wish your late father, Jimmy, were standing here today, because you know how proud your family would be that you are, in a sense, going full circle on this journey that brought them here and now brings you to Beijing. 加里，我也知道，你希望你已故的父親，吉米，今天也能站在??這里，因為你知道你的家人會多么自豪，從某種意義上說，你們的整個旅程把一家人帶到這里，現(xiàn)在又把你送往北京。So if we’re ready, I think we will administer the oath with Mona holding the Bible and you standing here.And please raise your right hand and – you’ve done this a few times before – (laughter) – and repeat after me. 因此，如果準備好了，我想我們就開始進行宣誓，蒙娜手捧“圣經(jīng)”，你站在這里。請舉起你的右手——你以前已經(jīng)好多次這樣做了——（笑聲）——跟我宣讀誓言。(The Oath of Office is administered.)（宣誓就職）SECRETARY CLINTON:Congratulations, Ambassador.(Applause.)國務(wù)卿克林頓：祝賀你，大使。（掌聲）AMBASSADOR LOCKE:This is to sign up for the payroll deduction?(Laughter.) 駱家輝大使：這好像是登記工資預(yù)扣?（笑聲）SECRETARY CLINTON:That all es later.(Laughter.)國務(wù)卿克林頓：這件事以后再說。（笑聲）(The appointment papers were signed.)（簽署委任狀）SECRETARY CLINTON:Excellent.(Applause.)國務(wù)卿克林頓：好極了。（掌聲）AMBASSADOR LOCKE:Well, thank you very much, Secretary Clinton, and Ambassador Marshall for presiding, and all of our honored guests – Ambassador Sasser, I see Carla Hills here, members of the Cabinet, Ron Kirk, and also Fred Hochberg of the ExportImport Bank, Chris Liu of the White House, and a lot of colleagues from the Department of Commerce, and friends and family from the West Coast.It’s great to all have you here. 駱家輝大使：非常感謝你，克林頓國務(wù)卿，以及馬歇爾大使的主持，還有所有貴賓──尚慕杰大使，我
