家就是一張圓桌，中英文對照翻譯，英文演講稿

The most affectionate memory of my childhood is abut a round table。 When I was still a little， my entire family would reunite on almost every traditional festival to have dinner。

While the grownups were discussing about something beyond our comprehension。

We kids would be scuttling around or even crowd under the table to play, hide and seek.

When I got a bit older， my aunt brought back her boyfriend。 A tall and shy man and my grandma joyfully added another seat to the round table。

It seems a little bit more crowded, but we all felt closer to this new family member.

在我童年的記憶中，最親切的是一張圓桌。當我還小的時候，幾乎每一個傳統節日，全家人都會團聚在一起吃飯。

當長輩們在討論一些我們不懂的事的時候，

我們這些孩子就會四處亂竄，甚至擠在桌子底下玩耍、躲藏和尋找著。

當我長大一點的時候，我姑姑帶回來她的男朋友。一個高大而害羞的男人，我的祖母高興地在圓桌上又加了一個座位。

看起來有點擁擠，但我們都覺得和這個新的家庭成員更親近。

When I was twelve， my grandpa passed away because of cancer。 But when the entire family reunite once again， his chair his bowl and his chopsticks remain the same， even though his seat was empty， but I felt like that he had never left us。

We all have a table like this in our homes，

it is a symbol of a reunion of our families representing our sentiment, and an attachment to our families.

在我

12歲的時候，我的爺爺因為癌症去世了。但是當全家人再次團聚的時候，他的椅子、碗和筷子都沒有變，儘管他的座位是空的，但是我覺得他從未離開過我們。

我們的家裡都有一張這樣的桌子，

它是我們家庭團聚的象徵，代表著我們的情感，以及對家庭的依戀。

But as a matter of fact

, in china, almost everything can be solved over a round table.

Then that marriage bells between a loving couple， the morning of the deceased， the negotiations between business partners and a state banquet to another president from other country， can all happen on a same round table。 So I start to wonder what is this round table to us， what it has been doing to us and his true significance starts to unfold in front of me。

但事實上，

在中國，幾乎所有的事情都可以在圓桌上解決。

那麼，一對相愛的夫婦之間的婚姻鐘聲，死者的早晨，商業夥伴之間的談判，以及接待其他國家的總統的國宴，都可以在同一張圓桌上發生。

The food on the table may change with time。The people sitting besides it may come and go。 The reason why we come together may be various， but the sensation behind it remains year after year the same。

And that is our tolerance of different people or willingness to embrace different culture and artistic forms or care, and love, and respect for not only our family, but also for a community, our nation and even the whole world.

桌子上的食物可能隨著時間的推移而改變，坐在旁邊的人可能來來去去，我們聚在一起的原因可能是多種多樣的，但背後的感覺年復一年保持不變。

那就是我們對不同人的寬容，或願意接受不同的文化和藝術形式，或不僅對我們的家庭，而且對一個社群、國家甚至整個世界的關愛和尊重。

In less than two months，an annual epic migration world take place in china，hundreds of people， men and women young and old， the rich and the poor the dead like my grandpa and the alive。

Well find a way to go back home and go to the round table to reunite with their families.

在不到兩個月的時間裡，在中國數以百計的人，男人和女人，年輕人和老年人，富人和窮人，像我爺爺一樣的死者和活著的人，上演了一年一度的大規模遷徙。

我們會想辦法回家，回到圓桌旁與家人團聚。

The power that drives them to do so has been the power that has been sustaining Chinese civilization for thousands of years， and the lives of us or even the history of our nation has been the stories of looking。 For or running to the round table to which we belong。

The round table has been a symbol of the Chinese sensation. It was，it is and will always be.

驅使他們這樣做的力量是幾千年來支撐中國文明的力量，我們的生活甚至我們國家的歷史都是尋找或奔向我們所屬的圓桌的故事。

圓桌一直是中國人情感的象徵，過去是，現在是，將來永遠是。
