Your Excellency Jean-Pierre Lafon, President of the International Exhibitions Bureau, Your Excellency Vicente Loscertales, Secretary General of the International Exhibitions Bureau, Distinguished Heads of State and Government, Speakers of Parliament and Representatives of Royal Families, Distinguished Representatives of International Organizations, Distinguished Guests, Ladies and Gentlemen, Dear Friends,
今晚，2010年上海世界博覽會將隆重開幕。我謹代表中國政府和人民，對各位嘉賓蒞臨上海世博會，表示熱烈的歡迎！對給予上海世博會真誠幫助和大力支持的各國政府和人民，對國際展覽局和有關國際組織，對所有為上海世博會作出貢獻的朋友們，表示誠摯的謝意！
The grand opening of Expo 2010 Shanghai China will be held this evening. On behalf of the Chinese government and people, I wish to extend a warm welcome to all the distinguished guests who have come to Shanghai for this event. I would like to express heartfelt thanks to the governments and people of all countries for the sincere help and strong support they have given to the Shanghai Expo. My thanks also go to the International Exhibitions Bureau (BIE) and other international organizations, and to all the friends who have contributed to Expo 2010 Shanghai.
世博會是薈萃人類文明成果的盛會，也是世界各國人民共享歡樂和友誼的聚會。誕生159年來，世博會把不同國度、不同民族、不同文化背景的人們匯聚在一起，溝通心靈，增進友誼，加強合作，共謀發展。世博會給國際社會留下了追求進步、崇尚創新、開放共榮、倡導和諧的寶貴精神財富，為推動人類文明進步發揮了重要而獨特的作用。
The World Expo is a grand event to showcase the best achievements of human civilization. It is also a great occasion for people from around the world to share joy and friendship. Over the past 159 years since its inception, the World Expo has brought together people from different countries, ethnic groups and cultural backgrounds for sincere exchanges, friendship, cooperation and development. It has given us a valuable spiritual asset of pursuing progress, innovation, openness, common prosperity and harmony. And it has played an important and unique role in advancing human civilization.
上海世博會是第一次在發展中國家舉辦的注冊類世博會。這是中國的機遇，也是世界的機遇。上海世博會將向世界展示一個擁有5000多年文明歷史、正在改革開放中快速發展變化的中國，搭起中國學習借鑒國外先進經驗、同世界交流合作的橋梁。上海世博會更屬于世界，未來6個月，世界各國各地區將以世博會為平臺，圍繞“城市，讓生活更美好”的主題，充分展示城市文明成果、交流城市發展經驗、傳播先進城市理念，相互學習、取長補短，為新世紀人類的居住、生活、工作探索嶄新的模式。我相信，上海世博會將書寫中國人民同各國人民交流互鑒的新篇章，也將書寫人類各種文明交流互鑒的新篇章。
Expo 2010 Shanghai is the first registered World Expo hosted by a developing country. It is an opportunity for China and also for the world. This Expo will present to the world a China, a country with a five-thousand-year civilization, that is enjoying fast development and changes through reform and opening up. It will serve as a bridge for China to learn the good experience of other countries and engage in exchanges and cooperation with the rest of the world. More importantly, Expo 2010 Shanghai belongs to the world. In the coming six months, focusing on the theme Better City, Better Life, the Expo will offer a platform for all countries and regions to fully exhibit their achievements in urban civilization, share best practices and spread advanced ideas on urban development. We will learn from each other, draw on each other's strengths and explore new models of housing, living and working for mankind in the new century. I believe that the Expo will add a new chapter to the annals of interactions and mutual learning between the Chinese people and people of other countries and between different civilizations.
女士們、先生們、朋友們！

The Chinese people are moving forward with full confidence in reform, opening up and the socialist modernization drive. We will make continued effort to improve the livelihood of the 1.3 billion Chinese people and at the same time make greater and new contribution to the noble cause of world peace and development. We will hold high the banner of peace, development and cooperation and remain committed to the path of peaceful development and a win-win strategy of opening up.
