Ladies and Gentlemen, (来源：EnglishCN.com)

Dear Friends,

8年来，中国政府和人民怀着高度热忱，举全国之力，集世界智慧，全力筹办上海世博会。现在，上海世博会即将呈现在我们面前。我相信，在有关各方共同努力下，世界各国人民一定能够共享一届成功、精彩、难忘的盛会。我也相信，只要我们继承并不断创新世博会给我们带来的宝贵文明成果和精神财富，我们生活的城市一定会更加美丽，我们共同拥有的地球家园一定会更加美好，我们的未来一定会更加光明。

Over the past eight years, the Chinese government and people have worked with great enthusiasm and made tremendous efforts in preparation for Expo 2010 Shanghai. We have mobilized resources throughout the country and pooled the wisdom of the world. Now, the Expo is about to open. I am confident that, with concerted efforts, people around the world will witness a successful, splendid and unforgettable World Expo. I am equally convinced that if we carry forward and build on the invaluable achievements of human civilization shown by the World Expo and its spiritual legacy, we will make our cities more beautiful, the Earth-our common home better and our future brighter.

女士们、先生们、朋友们！

Ladies and Gentlemen,
