27. 4）My fellow Americans, I come before you tonight as a candidate for the Vice Presidency and as a man whose honesty and integrity have been questioned. The usual political thing to do when charges are made against you is to either ignore them or to deny them without giving details. I believe we’ve had enough of that in the United States, particularly with the present Administration in Washington, D.C. To me the office of the Vice Presidency of the United States is a great office, and I feel that the people have got to have confidence in the integrity of the men who run for that office and who might obtain it. I have a theory too, that the best and only answer to a smear or to an honest misunderstanding of the facts is to tell the truth. And that’s why I am here tonight. I want to tell you my side of the case.

28. My fellow Americans, I come before you tonight as a candidate for the Vice Presidency and as a man whose honesty and integrity have been questioned. The usual political thing to do when charges are made against you is to either ignore them or to deny them without giving details. 美国同胞们，今天晚上我出现在大家面前，既作为一名副总统候选人，也作为一个其诚信已遭受质疑的人。当你遭到别人的指控时，通常的政治手段是要么置之不理，要么断然否认，不披露任何细节。

29. I believe we’ve had enough of that in the United States, particularly with the present Administration in Washington, D.C. To me the office of the Vice Presidency of the United States is a great office, and I feel that the people have got to have confidence in the integrity of the men who run for that office and who might obtain it. 我相信我们已经受够了这种做法，尤其是当前美国政府的做法。于我而言，美国副总统是一个伟大的职位，我认为，对竞选这一职位并有可能获得该职位的人，人民应该对他的诚信充满信心。

30. I have a theory too, that the best and only answer to a smear or to an honest misunderstanding of the facts is to tell the truth. And that’s why I am here tonight. I want to tell you my side of the case. 我同样相信，对他人的污蔑或对事实的误解的最好的、唯一的解决办法是：让真相大白于天下。这就是今晚我来这里的原因，我想告诉大家事情的真相。

31. 大家知道，经贸关系是两国关系的经济基础。互利共赢的中美贸易关系，不仅给两国人民带来了实实在在的经济利益，而且成为中美关系发展的重要基础和强大动力。至于中美经贸合作的迅速发展，对于周边地区经济繁荣乃至世界经济增长所起的促进作用，更是有目共睹。大家知道，经贸关系是两国关系的经济基础。互利共赢的中美贸易关系，不仅给两国人民带来了实实在在的经济利益，而且成为中美关系发展的重要基础和强大动力。至于中美经贸合作的迅速发展，对于周边地区经济繁荣乃至世界经济增长所起的促进作用，更是有目共睹。

32. As we all know, trade and commerce form the economic foundation of our bilateral relations. The mutually beneficial and win-win trade and economic ties between US and China have not only delivered tangible economic benefits to the two peoples, but underpinned overall relationship, giving it a powerful driving force for a steady expansion. As for the contribution made by the thriving China-US economic partnership to the prosperity of the surrounding areas and the world economic growth, it is there for all to see.

33. 中美贸易之所以能迅速发展，根本原因在于两国经济具有极大的互补性。这种互补性，很大程度上来自于两国经济资源条件、经济结构以及消费水平存在的较大差异。中国是最大的发展中国家，市场广阔，发展迅速，劳动力成本低，但资金短缺、科技和管理相对落后。美国是最大的发达国家，经济总量大，资本充足，科技发达，但劳动力成本高。这种差异和互补性，将在今后长期存在，在经济全球化的大背景下显得更加突出。我认为，这就是中美贸易能够持续快速发展的客观基础。中美贸易之所以能迅速发展，根本原因在于两国经济具有极大的互补性。这种互补性，很大程度上来自于两国经济资源条件、经济结构以及消费水平存在的较大差异。中国是最大的发展中国家，市场广阔，发展迅速，劳动力成本低，但资金短缺、科技和管理相对落后。美国是最大的发达国家，经济总量大，资本充足，科技发达，但劳动力成本高。这种差异和互补性，将在今后长期存在，在经济全球化的大背景下显得更加突出。我认为，这就是中美贸易能够持续快速发展的客观基础。

34. The reason for such a rapid growth in China-US trade lies, in the final analysis, in the high degree of complementarity of the two economies, which, to a large extent, stems from their big differences in economic resources, economic structures and consumption levels. China is the world’s largest developing country with a huge market, fast development, and a low cost of labor, but short in capital and relatively backward in technology and management.

35. On the other hand, the US is the world’s largest developed country, big in economic size, abundant in capital, and advanced in science and technology. But the cost of labor in the US is very high. Such diversity and complementarity will remain for a long time, and are likely to feature more prominently in the ongoing economic globalization. This, in my view, is the material basis for the sustained and rapid expansion of China-US trade.

36. 我对中美经贸合作的前景充满信心。也许道路是不平坦的，但前途一定是光明的。纵观国际形势，中美两国经贸合作正面临一个难得的重要战略机遇期。中美在经贸领域相互依存、互利共赢、你中有我，我中有你的割据已经初步形成。我注意到，美国的经济已经开始复苏。同时，我还要负责任地告诉诸位，中国的经济将在今后相当长的一个时期内保持良好的发展势头。我对中美经贸合作的前景充满信心。也许道路是不平坦的，但前途一定是光明的。纵观国际形势，中美两国经贸合作正面临一个难得的重要战略机遇期。中美在经贸领域相互依存、互利共赢、你中有我，我中有你的割据已经初步形成。我注意到，美国的经济已经开始复苏。同时，我还要负责任地告诉诸位，中国的经济将在今后相当长的一个时期内保持良好的发展势头。

37. I have full confidence in the future of China-US trade and economic cooperation. The road ahead might not be all smooth sailing, but the prospect is surely promising. Internationally, China-US economic partnership faces a window of rare strategic opportunity. A pattern featuring economic interdependence, mutual benefit, a pattern of each having something of the other, is taking shape. I have noticed that the US economy has started its long-awaited rebound. And I would like to tell you in a responsible manner that China’s economy will maintain a sound growth momentum for a considerably long time in the future.
