Life in Taipei is quite different from that in his home town, but I think he will like our weather-----because it’s not as windy.
I know his knowledge and experience will greatly benefit our future plans, and, on behalf of everyone, I wish him a pleasant stay with the firm.

President Chen, fellow members:
I want to offer a few words of welcome to our newest employee, Mr. David Morrison. He has spent most of his business career in St. John’s Newfoundland on the east coast of Canada and is a specialist in promoting export sales of Canadian seafood.
Because he is so familiar with Canadian tastes in fish, we look forward to his valuable assistance as we expand our sales of seafood to Canada in the future.
There are many differences in customs between our two countries, but I hear east coast Canadians do eat raw fish. So that part of our lifestyle should be no problem for him.
While Mr. Morrison is here, there is a lot we can learn from him, besides English, of course, and we hope he will return to Canada in four years’ time with the feeling he knows Taiwan better, too.
陳總經(jīng)理,各位同仁:

因為他對加拿大人在魚方面的品味很熟悉,所以當(dāng)我們將來海產(chǎn)拓銷到加拿大時,我們期待他給予寶貴的協(xié)助。
我們兩國之間的習(xí)俗有很大的差異,但我聽說東海岸的加拿大人吃生魚片。所以我們生活方式中的這一部分對他而言應(yīng)該是不成問題的。
莫里森先生在此地期間,有很多事情我們可以向他請教,當(dāng)然,英語也是,我們希望四年后他回加拿大時,也能夠懷有一份更加了解臺灣的感情。

I am sure we can learn from each other and I hope his stay will benefit us all. I wish him a pleasant year in Taipei.

I thank you all for this gracious welcome party and the kindness you have shown me.

Let me give you one example of this kindness. A few days after my arrival, I went with one of the gentlemen here to a car dealer. After almost agreeing to buy, he pulled me aside and said, “That car’s lousy.” Not knowing what he meant, I looked very surprised. He then said, “That car is lousy. You know.

設(shè)計一座博物館并不容易,必須要考慮到其用途、當(dāng)?shù)厝说钠肺丁㈩A(yù)算等等。但由于董事長與董事會的合作,我們按時完成了,而且沒有超過預(yù)算。
我希望這座博物館能對波士頓人提供服務(wù),并豐富他們的生活。我也誠摯希望來自世界各地的許許多多觀光客來此看看。
謝謝你們。
二、在貴賓歡迎會上(對象:海產(chǎn)檢驗官)
Mr. President, ladies and gentlemen:
First of all, I would like to express my deepest gratitude for the party you have prepared for me.
A few years back, when your company and mine started this joint venture, it was very difficult to import marine products into Taiwan. There was a lot of red tape and the same items would have to be checked here in Sydney, and again on arrival in Kaohsiung. This was a very frustrating and time-consuming process.
But after a long period of negotiation between our respective governments, it was agreed that one Chinese inspector would be stationed in Sydney and an Australian inspector in Kaohsiung.
Since then, things have gone much more smoothly and I hope this state of affairs will continue in the future.
Once again, I would like to thank you for this party and for your kind cooperation.
總經(jīng)理,各位女士,各位先生:
首先對于各位籌備這個聚會,表達(dá)我深的謝意。
幾年前,當(dāng)貴公司與敝公司設(shè)立此合作投資企業(yè)時,要將海產(chǎn)進(jìn)口到臺灣是很難的。有太多的繁雜手續(xù),同樣的海產(chǎn)項目此地雪梨必須受檢,而且到了高雄又得再來。這是令人時很沮喪而且費(fèi)時的程序。
在我們兩國政府經(jīng)過一段長時間的協(xié)商之后,同意在雪梨派駐一名中國檢驗官,在高雄派駐一名澳洲檢驗官。
那時開始,一切就順利很多,我希望這種情況將來能夠繼續(xù)下去。
再謝謝你們這一聚會以及你們的好意合作。
二、在貴賓歡迎會上(對象:保險公司分公司主管)
Mr. President, fellow staff members:
I am truly grateful for this kind reception.
As everyone knows, I was sent by our head office to take charge of this branch here in Seattle. Since arriving, I have received nothing but kindness and help from the president and all the employees.
Settling in with my wife and two children is not very easy, but thanks to you, we are now in our new apartment and the children are going to school. Of course, they are finding English difficult, as I am, but their teachers have been very patient and have gone out of their way to help them.
I am sure I will enjoy working with all of you, and I sincerely hope our insurance business will prosper.
Once more, may I thank you for this reception and for your kindness to my family and myself.
總經(jīng)理,各位同仁:
對這滿懷盛情的歡迎會,個人謹(jǐn)表示由衷的謝意。
大家都知道的,我是總公司派來西雅圖此地分公司的主管。到達(dá)此地以來,我就受到總經(jīng)理與所有同仁的關(guān)照與協(xié)助。
與內(nèi)人和兩個小孩定居下來并不容易,但多虧大家,我們現(xiàn)在住進(jìn)我們的新公寓,小孩也上學(xué)了。當(dāng)然,他們發(fā)現(xiàn)英文很難,像我的看法一樣,但他們的老師很有耐心,不怕麻煩來幫助他們。
我確信我必會很高興與大家共事,我也誠心希望我們的保險業(yè)務(wù)將蒸蒸日上。
再感謝你們的歡迎會以及你們對我家人和我個人的一番厚意。
二、在貴賓歡迎會上(對象:中文教師)

reception.

of Asian Studies.
I am very grateful to all of you, and especially the dean of my department, for the courtesy and kindness shown us since our arrival. Help was given in moving in, getting a car, showing us good places to shop and filling in forms. To be quite honest, you seem to have fewer forms than we do in Taiwan !
So far, I have only met the students informally, but I was very impressed with their knowledge of China and its language.
I know that during our stay, I will get to know you better and I am looking forward to
working with you.
Thank you.
福特主任,各位講師:
謹(jǐn)代表內(nèi)人,以及我個人對這盛大的歡迎會向諸位表示衷心的謝意。
各位大多聽說了,我來此地,將在亞洲研究學(xué)系客座兩年教中文。
我非常感謝你們每一位,尤其是我的系主任,在我們到達(dá)之后所給予的關(guān)照與協(xié)助。協(xié)助我們搬進(jìn)住家、買車子、告訴我們購物的好地方,以及填各種表格。坦白說,你們的表格似乎比我們臺灣還少!
到目前為止,我只是非正式的與學(xué)生見過面,但他們對于中國與中文的知識讓我印象深刻。
我了解到,在我們停留期間,我要更加了解你們,我滿懷歡欣期待著與大家共事。
謝謝。

Life in Taipei is quite different from that in his home town, but I think he will like our weather-----because it’s not as windy.
I know his knowledge and experience will greatly benefit our future plans, and, on behalf of everyone, I wish him a pleasant stay with the firm.
田總經(jīng)理,各位同仁:
現(xiàn)在我很高興介紹羅伯,韓德森先生給各位認(rèn)識,未來的三年,他將與我們共事。
韓德森先生從芝加哥來加入我們,作為一位工程師,在計算機(jī)程序設(shè)計方面有長久的經(jīng)驗。他將向副總經(jīng)理報到,并協(xié)助我們研究部門的同仁。我希望每個人不要讓他感到拘束,而盡可能在每一方面幫助他。
臺北的生活與他的故鄉(xiāng)大不相同,但我想他會喜歡我們的氣候----------因為沒有很大的風(fēng)。
我知道他的知識與經(jīng)驗對我們未來的計劃會大有助益,謹(jǐn)代表全體同仁,祝他這期間與大家相處愉快。
一、在歡迎外籍同仁的歡迎會上(對象:加拿大專家)
President Chen, fellow members:
I want to offer a few words of welcome to our newest employee, Mr. David Morrison. He has spent most of his business career in St. John’s Newfoundland on the east coast of Canada and is a specialist in promoting export sales of Canadian seafood.
Because he is so familiar with Canadian tastes in fish, we look forward to his valuable assistance as we expand our sales of seafood to Canada in the future.
There are many differences in customs between our two countries, but I hear east coast Canadians do eat raw fish. So that part of our lifestyle should be no problem for him.
While Mr. Morrison is here, there is a lot we can learn from him, besides English, of course, and we hope he will return to Canada in four years’ time with the feeling he knows Taiwan better, too.
陳總經(jīng)理,各位同仁:
我想說幾句話歡迎我們的新同事戴維,莫里森先生。他大部分的業(yè)務(wù)經(jīng)歷是在加拿大東海岸紐芬蘭的圣約翰,是加拿大海產(chǎn)出口業(yè)務(wù)促銷的專家。
因為他對加拿大人在魚方面的品味很熟悉,所以當(dāng)我們將來海產(chǎn)拓銷到加拿大時,我們期待他給予寶貴的協(xié)助。
我們兩國之間的習(xí)俗有很大的差異,但我聽說東海岸的加拿大人吃生魚片。所以我們生活方式中的這一部分對他而言應(yīng)該是不成問題的。
莫里森先生在此地期間,有很多事情我們可以向他請教,當(dāng)然,英語也是,我們希望四年后他回加拿大時,也能夠懷有一份更加了解臺灣的感情。
一、在歡迎外籍同仁的歡迎會上(對象:英國籍主管)

He has has been sent here by his company, British Chocolate Limited, with whom we have established a joint venture, to advise us on the production of their world famous chocolate.
He will work in our new plant at Wuku and will cooperate very closely with our factory supervisor, Mr. Chang.
Life in Taipei is quite different from life in London. It rains much more in London! I hope everyone will make him feel at home and help him in any way possible.
I am sure we can learn from each other and I hope his stay will benefit us all. I wish him a pleasant year in Taipei.
梅總經(jīng)理,各位同仁:
我很榮幸介紹哈利,華德先生給各位認(rèn)識,他將與我們共事一年。

他將在我們的五股新廠服務(wù),與我們的廠長張先生密切合作。
臺北的生活與倫敦大不相同,倫敦的雨多得多!我希望全體同仁都能讓他感到?jīng)]有拘束,并且在任何方面盡可能幫助他。
我深信我們都能夠互相學(xué)習(xí),也希望他在此期間使我們都能受益。祝他在臺北度過愉快的一年。
一、在歡迎外籍同仁的歡迎會上(對象:澳洲動物學(xué)者)
It gives me great pleasure to introduce Dr.Robert Dundee, who will be with us for two years.
Dr. Dundee, who hails Sydney, is a famous zoologist who has done a lot of research on the prevention of respiratory in cattle the University of Sydney.
Since we deal a lot in milk products, it is very important for us to keep our cattle as healthy as possible, and I am more than certain that Dr. Dundee will be of great benefit to us.
He will be working very closely with our research staff at Yangmei and will report directly to the chief of our center there, Dr. Wang.
As he is accompanied by his wife and child, I hope all of us will help any way we can. I wish him and his family a pleasant stay with many fond memories to take back.
我很榮幸介紹羅伯,丹迪博士,他將與我們共事兩年。
丹迪博士是雪梨人,是名動物學(xué)家,在雪梨大學(xué)作過許多關(guān)于預(yù)防牛只呼吸器官疾病的研究。
因為我們對于乳制品的銷售量很大,所以對我們來說,盡所有可能維持牛只的健康便顯得非常重要。
他將與我們在楊梅的研究同仁密切合作,并直接向那邊的中心主任王博士報到。
因為他有夫人及小孩隨行,所以我希望我們大家盡量幫助他。
祝他及他的家人在停留期間過得愉快,回國時能滿懷快樂的回憶。
一、在歡迎外籍同仁的歡迎會上(對象:紐西蘭畜產(chǎn)專家)
My fellow researchers:
I am happy to introduce Dr. Michael Bush, who is with us on loan from the New Zealand Government, and will stay here for about eighteen months.
Dr. Bush is a livestock breeder specializing in cattle. As you all know, beef is very expensive in Taiwan and many consumers complain about its price.
We hope through the cooperation of Dr. Bush and our breeders in Taoyuan to be able to discover cheaper and better ways of producing beef, thus benefiting our customers.
There are many differences in customs between our two nations. And I don’t have to tell you that Taoyuan is much colder than Wellington in winter. So I trust you will give him a warm reception.
Dr. Bush. Welcome to Taiwan and welcome to our company.
各位研究員:
我很高興為大家介紹麥可.布什博士,他是紐西蘭政府與我們作文流的人士,將在這里停留十八個月。
布什博士是牛只的畜養(yǎng)專家。大家都知道,臺灣的牛肉很貴,很多消費(fèi)者對牛內(nèi)價格有所怨言。
我們希望透過布什博士與桃園的畜產(chǎn)專家合作,能夠發(fā)現(xiàn)更便宜、更好的方法生產(chǎn)牛肉,以嘉惠我們的顧客。
我們兩國的習(xí)俗有很多地方不一樣,而在冬天,桃園比威靈頓冷得多,這是不用說的,所以我相信你們都會給予布什博士熱情的接待。
布什博士,歡迎到臺灣來,歡迎到我們公司來。
二、在貴賓歡迎會上(對象:銀行家)
Mr. President, fellow staff members, ladies and gentlemen:
I thank you all for this gracious welcome party and the kindness you have shown me.
As most of you may realize, settling down in a new city is very difficult, even for bankers, and many of you have taken the time and trouble to help me.
Let me give you one example of this kindness. A few days after my arrival, I went with one of the gentlemen here to a car dealer. After almost agreeing to buy, he pulled me aside and said, “That car’s lousy.” Not knowing what he meant, I looked very surprised. He then said, “That car is lousy. You know. I added a new word to my vocabulary, and two, I saved money by not buying that car.
Thank you very much.
總經(jīng)理,各位同仁,諸位女士,諸位先生;
我很感謝大家舉辦這么溫馨的歡迎會,也感謝大家對我都那么好。
如同你們大多了解的,在一個新城市定居是很困難的事,即使對銀行行員也是,而你們很多人也花了時間、不辭辛勞來幫我。
你們對我這么好,我可以舉個例子。我到達(dá)之后的兩、三天,我和你們的一位先生去找一位汽車業(yè)者,幾乎要成交時,他把我拉到一邊說“那部車很爛。”我很驚訝,不知道他是什么意思。然后他又說,“那部車很爛,你知道,很破的車?!边@時,就發(fā)生了兩件很棒的事,一是我字匯又增加了一個字,二是我沒買那部車,錢省下來了。
非常謝謝各位。
二、在貴賓歡迎會上(對象:建筑師)
Mr. Chairman, board members, ladies and gentlemen:
I would like to express my sincere thanks asking this party in my honor.
About three years ago, there was a competition for architects to submit plans for a museum to be built here in Boston. Of the many plans sent, you chose the one submitted by my company, and today, we are holding this party in the building we designed.
It is not easy to design a museum. One has to think about its purpose, the people's taste, the budget, and so on. But thanks to the cooperation of the chairman and his board, we finished on time and were within the budget.
I hope that this museum will serve the people of Boston and enrich their lives. I also sincerely hope that many visitors from all over the world will come to see it.
I thank you.
董事長,各位董事,各位女士,各位先生:
為了我辦這個聚會,我要表示我誠摯的謝意。
大約三年前,建筑師們競相提出在此地波士頓建博物館的設(shè)計,在許多提出的設(shè)計中,你們選擇了本公司所提的設(shè)計,今天,我們就在我們所設(shè)計的建筑物中舉行這聚會。
設(shè)計一座博物館并不容易,必須要考慮到其用途、當(dāng)?shù)厝说钠肺丁㈩A(yù)算等等。但由于董事長與董事會的合作,我們按時完成了,而且沒有超過預(yù)算。
我希望這座博物館能對波士頓人提供服務(wù),并豐富他們的生活。我也誠摯希望來自世界各地的許許多多觀光客來此看看。
謝謝你們。
二、在貴賓歡迎會上(對象:海產(chǎn)檢驗官)
Mr. President, ladies and gentlemen:
First of all, I would like to express my deepest gratitude for the party you have prepared for me.
A few years back, when your company and mine started this joint venture, it was very difficult to import marine products into Taiwan. There was a lot of red tape and the same items would have to be checked here in Sydney, and again on arrival in Kaohsiung. This was a very frustrating and time-consuming process.
But after a long period of negotiation between our respective governments, it was agreed that one Chinese inspector would be stationed in Sydney and an Australian inspector in Kaohsiung.
Since then, things have gone much more smoothly and I hope this state of affairs will continue in the future.
Once again, I would like to thank you for this party and for your kind cooperation.
總經(jīng)理,各位女士,各位先生:
首先對于各位籌備這個聚會,表達(dá)我深的謝意。
幾年前,當(dāng)貴公司與敝公司設(shè)立此合作投資企業(yè)時,要將海產(chǎn)進(jìn)口到臺灣是很難的。有太多的繁雜手續(xù),同樣的海產(chǎn)項目此地雪梨必須受檢,而且到了高雄又得再來。這是令人時很沮喪而且費(fèi)時的程序。
在我們兩國政府經(jīng)過一段長時間的協(xié)商之后,同意在雪梨派駐一名中國檢驗官,在高雄派駐一名澳洲檢驗官。
那時開始,一切就順利很多,我希望這種情況將來能夠繼續(xù)下去。
再謝謝你們這一聚會以及你們的好意合作。
二、在貴賓歡迎會上(對象:保險公司分公司主管)
Mr. President, fellow staff members:
I am truly grateful for this kind reception.
As everyone knows, I was sent by our head office to take charge of this branch here in Seattle. Since arriving, I have received nothing but kindness and help from the president and all the employees.
Settling in with my wife and two children is not very easy, but thanks to you, we are now in our new apartment and the children are going to school. Of course, they are finding English difficult, as I am, but their teachers have been very patient and have gone out of their way to help them.
I am sure I will enjoy working with all of you, and I sincerely hope our insurance business will prosper.
Once more, may I thank you for this reception and for your kindness to my family and myself.
總經(jīng)理,各位同仁:
對這滿懷盛情的歡迎會,個人謹(jǐn)表示由衷的謝意。
大家都知道的,我是總公司派來西雅圖此地分公司的主管。到達(dá)此地以來,我就受到總經(jīng)理與所有同仁的關(guān)照與協(xié)助。
與內(nèi)人和兩個小孩定居下來并不容易,但多虧大家,我們現(xiàn)在住進(jìn)我們的新公寓,小孩也上學(xué)了。當(dāng)然,他們發(fā)現(xiàn)英文很難,像我的看法一樣,但他們的老師很有耐心,不怕麻煩來幫助他們。
我確信我必會很高興與大家共事,我也誠心希望我們的保險業(yè)務(wù)將蒸蒸日上。
再感謝你們的歡迎會以及你們對我家人和我個人的一番厚意。
二、在貴賓歡迎會上(對象:中文教師)
Dean Ford, fellow lecturers:
On behalf of my wife and myself, I would like to thank you very much indeed for this wonderful
reception.
As most of you have heard, I am here on a two-year visit to teach Chinese in the Department
of Asian Studies.
I am very grateful to all of you, and especially the dean of my department, for the courtesy and kindness shown us since our arrival. Help was given in moving in, getting a car, showing us good places to shop and filling in forms. To be quite honest, you seem to have fewer forms than we do in Taiwan !
So far, I have only met the students informally, but I was very impressed with their knowledge of China and its language.
I know that during our stay, I will get to know you better and I am looking forward to
working with you.
Thank you.
福特主任,各位講師:
謹(jǐn)代表內(nèi)人,以及我個人對這盛大的歡迎會向諸位表示衷心的謝意。
各位大多聽說了,我來此地,將在亞洲研究學(xué)系客座兩年教中文。
我非常感謝你們每一位,尤其是我的系主任,在我們到達(dá)之后所給予的關(guān)照與協(xié)助。協(xié)助我們搬進(jìn)住家、買車子、告訴我們購物的好地方,以及填各種表格。坦白說,你們的表格似乎比我們臺灣還少!
到目前為止,我只是非正式的與學(xué)生見過面,但他們對于中國與中文的知識讓我印象深刻。
我了解到,在我們停留期間,我要更加了解你們,我滿懷歡欣期待著與大家共事。
謝謝。
