　　St David's Day, the national Day of Wales, is celebrated on March 1, and the reception is being held as part of the Welsh government's celebration in Shanghai.

　　3月1日是威爾士國慶日——圣大衛(wèi)日(St.David's Day)，此次商務(wù)招待會也被視為威爾士政府在上海舉辦的慶祝活動(dòng)之一。

　　John Edwards,the British Consul General in Shanghai,said that the goal of this Welsh business delegation is to strengthen exchanges and cooperation with China.

　　英國駐上海總領(lǐng)事吳僑文先生表示，威爾士有著悠久的歷史和文化背景，具有世界的高端制造能力，此次威爾士企業(yè)代表團(tuán)的目標(biāo)就是加強(qiáng)與中國的交流和合作。

　　In the past years, more cultural activities have been carried out between the two countries. And he added that "A new international strategy is being developed to link Wales further with the key international markets including China. ".

　　自威爾士政府與中國文化部簽署諒解備忘錄以來, 兩國之間開展了更多的文化活動(dòng)。他還表示，“目前威爾士政府正在制定新的國際戰(zhàn)略，將威爾士與包括中國在內(nèi)的主要國際市場進(jìn)一步聯(lián)系起來”。

　　并在教育領(lǐng)域提及卡迪夫公學(xué)在上海等地開設(shè)新校區(qū)這一具有里程碑式意義的事項(xiàng)。

　　Over the years, the Welsh government has been dedicated to the celebration of St David's Day in Shanghai, and welcome more and more new friends to celebrate it together.

　　多年以來，威爾士政府一直致力于在上海舉辦圣大衛(wèi)日慶祝活動(dòng)，歡迎有越來越多的新朋友加入其中, 一同慶祝威爾士人民較重要的節(jié)日。

　　Perhaps this is just a stage experience;another kind of feeling to the western culture; or they may learn something from it. Whatever the harvest, I think, this is the meaning of compatibility between Chinese and western culture.

　　對于卡迪夫?qū)W子來說，也許這只是一次舞臺經(jīng)歷;也許是對西方文化的另一種感受;又或許，他們能從中領(lǐng)悟并學(xué)習(xí)歷史偉人的勇敢精神，以及獲取不斷向上的力量。無論是哪種收獲，我想，這大概就是中西文化相融的意義所在。

　　Finally,wish them a better performance in the following campus life!

　　較后，祝福我們的卡迪夫?qū)W子在接下來的校園生活中能有更好的精彩表現(xiàn)!
