My wife and I have a special regard and personal friendship for the people of China．Beijing is for us is an old and nostalgic home．
During our stay here ten years ago we spent a great deal of memorable time with the people here--- working，shopping，sightseeing，and touring the city on our bicycles．
During that time we never experienced anything other than the utmost courtesy and genuine friendship of the Chinese people．
Explain
Re-write
We were part of the dramatic process// which brought us back together //and set us on the road //to a genuine friendly and cooperative relationship．
Our friendly and cooperative ties have become extensive，affecting all aspects of our national lives：commerce，culture，education，and scientific exchange．
I am most proud of the large number of Chinese students，being educated in exchange in my country．I myself teach some of them and see the benefits that come from this exchange．At the same time we are learning valuable lessons from you．
Nonetheless，problems remain in our economic，education and strategic relations．While we are not so naive as to believe that there are no issues of difference between us, I also believe that our differences are greatly overshadowed by issues// which bind us and strengthen our relationship．
As a former government leader and now a private citizen，I recognize that many of the burdens and opportunities of our relationship have now passed to the non—governmental sectors of our two societies．
There is no doubt that our relations have reached a new stage．In this context，it is important for our two societies to search for areas of cooperation , which clearly add to our mutual benefit．
Self-evident
My visit is a symbol of the good faith //with which we seek to build up the strength of our
friendship，our cultural and commercial ties and our important strategic relationship．
V + A,B,C
Events of the past decade have confirmed time and time again that our friendship and cooperation will continue to flourish and yield more fruits in the days to come．
主动与被动?
译家之言
余光中：被动与否，古人显然并不烦心。到了翻译体中，一经英文文法点明，被动语气遂蠢蠢不安起来。‘被’字成为一只跳蚤，咬得所有动词痒痒难受。”‘他被警告，莎莉有梅毒’；‘威廉有一颗被折磨的良心’；‘他是被她深深地喜爱着’；鲍士威尔主要被记忆为千个传记家’：‘当那只狗被饿得死去活来的时候，我也被一种悲哀所袭击’；‘最后，酒被喝光了，菜也被吃完了’：这样子的恶译、怪译，不但流行于翻译体中，甚至有侵害创作之势。
关于遣词用字good faith，with good faith，build up the strength, economic ties 怎样措辞？
词本无义遣词用字是一种翻译技巧，也是译者最重要的基本功，在翻译的整个过程中都需要我们对译文的字词取舍做出正确的判断，形成通顺的文字。
鲁迅先生在谈到翻译工作的甘苦时曾说过：我向来总以为翻译比创作容易，因为至少是无须构想。但到真的一译，就会遇到难关；比如一个名词或动词，写不出，创作的时候可以回避，翻译上却不成，也还得想，一直弄得头昏眼花，好像在脑子里面摸一个急于要开箱子的钥匙，却没有。

With the transformation of governmental functions, much of the work involving social services that was initially undertaken by the government will have to be transferred gradually to social groups and non-governmental organizations.
随着政府职能的转变，原来由政府包揽的许多社会服务工作，有相当一部分将逐步转移到社会团体和民间组织。
China has made great headways in economy, public health, education, culture, science and technology and other various social undertakings since the country adopted the opening up and reform policy.
