[00:00.14]　　　　　　Hillary Clinton's Speech at　the Shanghai Expo（Extract）
[00:04.34]Establishing an American presence at this Expo
[00:08.88]worthy of our great country was quite a journey.
[00:11.65]There is a poem from the Southern Song Dynasty
[00:14.48] that reads: “After endless mountains and rivers
[00:17.41]that leave doubt whether there is a path out,
[00:20.85]suddenly one encounters the shade of a willow,
[00:24.26]bright flowers and a lovely village.”
[00:27.37]Well, I am very pleased
[00:29.56] that we have finally arrived at our lovely village.
[00:32.33]This was a real team effort,
[00:35.16]a partnership that brought together our government,
[00:38.24]the private sector, the Chinese-American community,
[00:41.48] and so many friends and supporters. So,
[00:44.80]let me offer a few thank-yous.
[00:46.57]To Ambassador Jon Huntsman and Consul General Bea Camp,
[00:51.39] and all the men and women of the U.S. Mission in China,
[00:55.33]we thank you.
[00:56.84]To Ken Jarett and the board, staff,
[00:59.07]and volunteers of the USA Pavilion,
[01:01.36]including our student ambassadors
[01:03.44]who represent not just the welcoming spirit of our Pavilion,
[01:07.35]but the openness of our country.
[01:09.80]And to Ambassador Elizabeth Bagley and her deputy, Kris Balderston,
[01:12.84]and our corporate partners—your generosity and commitment
[01:20.10] has made all of this possible.
[01:20.87]And I am very grateful to each and every one of you.
[01:24.95]And finally, I want to express our deep appreciation
[01:28.49] to our Chinese hosts.
[01:30.65]It is a great honor to have with us Ambassador Zhang,
[01:33.85]Vice Foreign Minister Cui, Vice Finance Minister Li,
[01:38.17]and Vice Mayor Tang here with us this evening.
[01:41.10] Earlier today I had the privilege of visiting the China Pavilion,
[01:44.85]with its sweeping panorama of a great nation.
[01:49.13]The ancient Riverside scroll, which depicts another period of dramatic change
[01:53.64] and development, has been transformed
[01:56.22]through the magic of technology
[01:58.11] into a vivid symbol of the new China. This entire Expo,
[02:03.58]the largest in history,
[02:04.81] is a testament to the hospitality and energy
[02:08.11]of the Chinese people. And all around us we see
[02:11.62]that the glory of the past
[02:13.83] is matched by the dynamism of the present and
[02:17.22] the promise of the future.
