　　尊敬的各位來賓，

　　女士們，先生們，朋友們：

　　dear guests, friends, ladies and gentlemen,

　　大家好!

　　nice to meet you!

　　今天，我們非常高興來到美麗的彩虹國度南非，來到美麗的“黃金之都”約翰內(nèi)斯堡，和大家一起共商經(jīng)貿(mào)合作與發(fā)展大計(jì)。首先，我代表中國廣州市代表團(tuán)，向應(yīng)邀出席此次經(jīng)貿(mào)合作論壇的各位嘉賓、朋友們，表示熱烈的歡迎和衷心的感謝!

　　today, we are very delighted to come to johannesburg, south africa to discuss matters of economic and trade cooperation and development with all of you. as we all know, south africa is known as the “rainbow nation” and johannesburg is referred to as the “city of gold”. we are dazzled by the beauty of this nation and city. first of all, on behalf of the delegation of guangzhou, china, i would like to extend our enthusiastic welcome and heartfelt thanks to honorable guests and friends who attend this forum of economic and trade cooperation!

　　近年來，在中國和南非雙方高層領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人的推動(dòng)下，中國與南非雙邊貿(mào)易發(fā)展迅速，呈現(xiàn)出良好的發(fā)展勢(shì)頭。XX年，盡管中南兩國經(jīng)濟(jì)都受到了國際金融危機(jī)的沖擊，但雙邊貿(mào)易額仍然達(dá)到了256億美元，增幅近83%。目前，南非成為中國在非洲的第二大貿(mào)易伙伴，中國躍升為南非的最大貿(mào)易伙伴。在投資領(lǐng)域，截至XX年，中國累計(jì)對(duì)南非投資約70億美元，南非企業(yè)在中國的投資約為55億美元。

　　in recent years, with supports from high-level cadres and leaders of china and south africa, the bilateral trade between china and south africa has been developing rapidly, showing satisfactory tendency for growth. in , the economies of china and south africa were shocked by the international financial crisis. however, both countries still realized 25.6 billion u.s dollars of bilateral trade volumes, a year-to-year increase of nearly 83%. for the moment, south africa has become the second largest trade partner of china in africa, and china has become the largest trade partner of south african. in the field of investment, up to , china had accumulatively invested about 7 billion u.s dollars in south africa, and enterprises from south africa had accumulatively invested about 5.5 billion u.s dollars in china.

　　作為中國重要的對(duì)外開放門戶城市廣州，近年來與南非的經(jīng)貿(mào)往來飛速發(fā)展。XX年，廣州與南非的進(jìn)出口貿(mào)易達(dá)到14.42億美元，同比增長(zhǎng)68.1%。其中，廣州出口到南非的商品總額為3.06億美元，增長(zhǎng)33.3%，從南非進(jìn)口11.36億美元，增長(zhǎng)80.8%。由此可見，雙方的經(jīng)貿(mào)合作是卓有成效的，是在經(jīng)濟(jì)全球化背景下實(shí)現(xiàn)互利共贏的又一典范!

　　guangzhou acts as an important window for china's reform and opening-up to the outside world. in recent years, the economic and trade relation between guangzhou and south africa has realized high-speed development. in , the trade volume of import and export between guangzhou and south africa reached 1.442 billion u.s dollars, a year-to-year increase of 68.1%. among them, the total volume of commodities exported to south africa from guangzhou was 306 million u.s dollars, a year-to-year increase of 33.3%; the total volume of commodities imported to guangzhou from south africa was 1.136 billion u.s dollars, a year-to-year increase of 80.8%. thus it can be seen that the economic and trade cooperation between both sides not only is highly successful, but also is a new model in which mutual benefit and win-win situation are realized under the background of economic globalization!
