世界百位名人谈世博：硕果累累的上海
编辑点评：彼得·迈杰希。匈牙利共和国前总理。1942年出生于匈牙利布达佩斯，毕业于马克思经济大学（现布达佩斯经济大学），获政治经济学学士学位。他先后在匈牙利政府内阁中担任过财政部副部长、部长和负责经济事务的副总理等职务。1990年至2001年间，曾先后任帕里巴斯银行董事长兼总经理、匈牙利投资发展银行董事长兼总经理、中欧银行理事会主席。2002年4月至2004年8月，任匈牙利政府总理。迈杰希讲法语和罗马尼亚语，同时精通英文和俄文。
21世纪以来，不顾我们的好恶，全球化和爆发于去年的金融和经济危机已经成为世界所有经济政治联盟的最大挑战，由此出现了两种应对全球化的方式。一是现代化方式。它并不与全球化背道而驰。相反，它利用全球化来发展经济和提高经济、社会竞争力。另一种应对则建立在错觉之上。它是一种封闭的、民族的和激进的回应，在很多情况下还披着宗教的外衣。在远东，应对全球化的方式还有待观察。显而易见的是中国已经选择了自己的道路，即：快速和成功的现代化道路。过去几十年的历史证明了这条道路是正确的。中国已越来越成为世界经济乃至世界政治中的一个重要的成员。这在2009年匹茨堡20国峰会上全面地体现出来。
当然，社会和经济现代化进程中会出现一些特殊的状况。我相信，现代化、变迁和改革的进程对中国来说具有根本性的重要意义，它见证了中国30年改革开放政策的成就。很自然的，发展进步在欧洲、中国、美国、印度或阿拉伯世界都有自己的方式，展现出了不同的形式。对此，我认为每个人都应该尊重这些建立在高度发达文化传统基础上的不同发展进程。
亚洲是一个充满活力的地区。它在未来几年将成为全球发展和繁荣的重要推动引擎。中国经济的快速增长是上海发展最重要的保障之一，而上海又是中国发展的组成部分和动力之一。
匈牙利和中国的交往已有上百年的历史。60年的外交关系及其所取得的进展是我们牢固友谊的见证。2002年，我担任匈牙利总理时，匈牙利政府颁布了“新亚洲政策”。自此以来，匈牙利与包括上海在内的中国和东亚地区，在政治和文化，经济和人文交往方面更加坚固和紧密。我为此感到高兴和满意。我坚信上海就是举办2010世博会的不二城市。这是一个硕果累累、努力工作、坚持不懈、目光远大的城市。它已经为世界树立了一个千年传统和飞速变化、发展、多变的世界和谐共存的典范。
我相信上海世博会将取得巨大成功。它将为世界不同地区带来致力于和平同友好合作对话的机遇。
At the beginning of the 21st century, whether we want it or not, globalisation and the financial and economic crisis have become the greatest challenges for all economic and political alliance s. Basically two kinds of responses have emerged to globalization. One is the modernization response. This does not run away from globalization as a challenge; rather it uses it to develop the economy and to improve economic and social competitiveness. The other kind of response is built on illusions; it is the closed, nationalistic, radical response, in many cases clothed in the cloak of religion. In the Far East, the response still remains to be seen. Obviously, China has chosen its own way: quick and successful modernization. The history of the past few decades proved that it has been a correct choice, given the fact that China is now regarded more and more as a key factor in the world economy and even of the world politics. This idea was clearly pointed out by the G-20 Pittsburgh summit in 2009.
Of course, the process of social and economic modernization shows some particularities. I am convinced that the processes of modernization, change and reform are of fundamental importance in China, as proven by the opening-up and reform policies introduced 30 years ago. Naturally, progress has its own pathways and manners in Europe, China, the USA, India or in the Arab region. I think that everyone should respect this on the basis of high cultural tradition.
Asia is a dynamic region and will be the key driver of global growth and prosperity in the year to come. The spectacular and fast economic growth of China is one of the most important guarantees for the development of Shanghai, and Shanghai is both a part and an engine of this development.
The contacts between Hungary and China date back several hundred years. In modern times, the 60th anniversary of our diplomatic relations and the progress those relations have made prove the stability of our friendship. It is a great pleasure and satisfaction for me that since 2002–when Hungary launched the New Asia policy during my term as Prime Minister一political and cultural contacts，economic and human relations have strengthened and intensified with China and the Far East region in general, including Shanghai. I am profoundly convinced that Shanghai deserves to be the venue of the World Expo 2010. This city is a symbol of achievement, hard work，persistence and long-term foresight. It has shown the world an example of how thousand-year traditions may be harmonized with quick change, development and new, courageous initiatives. I am sure the Shanghai World Expo will be a great success, offering an opportunity for a dialogue between different parts of world for peaceful, friendly cooperation.
名人谈世博：中国榜样值得南亚效仿
编辑点评：尼泊尔共和国前总理普拉昌达，原名普什帕·卡迈勒·达哈尔。联合尼泊尔共产党（毛）主席，尼泊尔共和国前总理，毛派领袖和革命家。
1954年出生于尼泊尔农民家庭，毕业于奇特旺农业大学。1979年，成为尼共领袖。1980年代末组建团结人民阵线，并以该党为依托参加1991年该国实行多党制后的首次大选。1996年，因主张废除君主制与尼政府产生分歧，和他的支持者走上“武装斗争”的道路，并为自己取名普拉昌达，意为“愤怒之火”。2007年11月，普拉昌达率领的反政府军与尼泊尔政府签署和平协议，正式结束10多年内战。2008年8月至2009年5月担任尼泊尔共和国总理。
我很荣幸能够向中华人民共和国政府表示我衷心的祝贺，祝贺2010年世界博览会在上海盛大召开。从1851年第一届伦敦世界博览会开始，世博会就是一个国际舞台，展现着人类在科学技术、工业产品和经济发展等众多领域中所获取的成就和智慧；150年来，全球如此众多的国家积极参与，也使得世博会成为了一个多元文化沟通、交流、甚至寻找解决方案的舞台。
我欣喜地得知，上海世博会的主题是“城市，让生活更美好”，在2010年5月1日到10月31日的180多天内，上海将迎来全球200多个国家和组织的参与，将迎接7000多万的八方来客，这将创下世博会历史上游客和参展方最多的纪录。中国能举办这样一个盛会，也体现了中国作为21世纪一个经济和政治巨人的和平崛起，中国国力的上升，同样符合国际社会的利益，尤其是像尼泊尔这样的中国邻邦。我们尼泊尔深信随着中国取得越来越多的现代化成就，他们的邻居们必然也会从中受惠：能获得贫困的改善，取得更好的基础设施发展，更多文化沟通和双边援助会充分展开。这届世界博览会选择在上海这样一个充满生气的城市举办，本身也会为世博会增加更多的魅力，这已是一个有目共睹的事实了。
对于本次世博会的主题——“城市，让生活更美好”，我认为是非常恰当的。因为新中国成功地创建了诸多新兴的城市，在这些城市里，政府为她的人民提供了诸如马路、水资源、清洁和安全的环境，这些基础设施为人民生活带来了便利和实惠，这是世界上所有新兴经济体都应该引以为学习榜样的事实。中国在可持续发展领域做出的努力应该得到其他区域尤其是南亚国家的效仿。
为此，我们和我们的中国朋友共同庆贺，欢欣鼓舞。我为上海世博会的成功举办致以我最美好的祝福！
I feel privileged to heartily congratulate the people and the government of the People's Republic of China on the grand occasion of the World Expo 2010 to be held in Shanghai. Since the beginning, the World Expo has served as a platform to showcase human achievement in the areas of science and technology, industrial goods and products and economic development. With the active participation of so many countries, it also serves as a stage for cross-cultural dialogue and the exchange of solutions. This spectacular occasion is a demonstration of China's peaceful rise as an economic and political giant of the 21th century.
This is indeed in the interest of the international community, especially neighboring countries like Nepal. We in Nepal are convinced that the modern achievements of China will benefit its neighbors in areas such as infrastructure
development, increased connectivity and assistance for the development of our poor economies. I understand that World Expo 2010, with the theme of "Better City, Better Life," is expecting the participation of over 200 countries and international organizations as well as 70 million visitors. That will set a new record in World Expo history. The fact that this Expo is taking place in a vibrant city like Shanghai adds color to the event itself.
I feel that the theme of "Better City, Better Life" appropriately demonstrates how China has set an example for all emerging economies in how to create new cities, build necessary infrastructure like roads, water and sanitation and
security, and provide for the well-being of people. China's undertaking in the area of sustainable development is worth replicating in other regions, especially in South Asia. Today we celebrate together and rejoice with our Chinese friends. My best wishes for the grand success of World Expo 2010 Shanghai China.
名人谈世博：美好城市离不开个人贡献
编辑点评：乌里·希克1946年生，瑞士人，中国2010年上海世博会瑞士馆总代表。改革开放后第一批来中国的外国人之一、第一家中外合资工业企业迅达（中国）电梯有限公司的参与创始人，1995年至1998年担任瑞士驻中国、朝鲜和蒙古大使，是目前为止中国当代艺术最大也是最具权威的收藏家，系统搜集了中国当代200位艺术家的近2000件代表作品。现任瑞士苏黎世荣格传媒集团董事会副主席、北京国家开发银行顾问委员会成员、纽约现代艺术博物馆（MOMA）国际理事会成员等多重职务。
我很荣幸能够受瑞士政府之邀，担任中国2010年上海世博会瑞士馆的总
代表，亲身参与这场盛会。“总代表”是一项非常重要的工作。作为在中国
改革开放最初就来到中国，并一直关注中国、不断了解中国、始终热爱中
国的外国人，我真诚希望能够利用自己的经验和对中国的熟悉，帮助瑞士
增进对中国的了解，同时也帮助中国更好地了解瑞士，促进两国之间的紧
密合作。
我是中国的老朋友。1978年改革开放之初，我受瑞士一家企业的委托，
第一次来到中国，筹办中外合资企业。那时，我对这个陌生的国家充满了
好奇。至今印象深刻的是，那时的中国妇女们留着整齐划一的发型，衣服
颜色暗沉，人们的思想观念也较为保守。后来，我多次来到中国，也曾作为瑞士驻华大使常驻中国。上世纪90年代初，我开始收藏中国的当代艺术品，与中国的艺术家们交流，通过他们的眼睛、他们的经历来了解这个国家的历史文化和人民生活。我有幸见证了这个国家的巨变，亲身参与了这个国家改革开放的进程。短短30年，中国万象更新，焕发出勃勃生机，如今的活力四射世界有目共睹。
但同时，我也看到了经济快速发展给中国带来的城市发展问题，如对环境造成了一定程度的破坏，以及城乡发展的差距等。我相信，正是基于对这些问题的认识和忧虑，上海世博会最终将主题确定于“城市，让生活更美好”。这超越了过去世博会主要展现科技发明进步成果的范畴，开创性地为全世界提供了一个共同探讨城市发展问题的平台。这充分展现了中国直面发展中问题的勇气和决心，也充满了前瞻性的智慧。
经济快速发展带来的城市问题已是世界范围内一个非常热门而棘手的问题，各国都在寻找解决问题的“钥匙”。如今中国面临的许多状况，瑞士当年也曾遇到。瑞士和中国乍一看并无太多共同点，瑞士的国土面积小，人口只有740万。它不像中国有那么广阔的国土和庞大的人口，人均资源稀缺。但事实上两国面临一些相同的发展问题。如人口密度都很大，很多土地都不适合居住，瑞士1/3的土地都是岩石、森林和湖。因此，瑞士长期以来，一直在寻找城乡和谐、人与自然融洽相处的可持续发展道路。
It is a great honor for me to be invited by the Swiss government to personally participate in the pageant of World Expo 2010 Shanghai China as the Commissioner-General for the Swiss Pavilion, which is a very important assignment. As a foreigner who came to China at the very beginning of its reforms and opening-up and who has always studied the country with persistent attention and love, I sincerely hope that I can use my experience and knowledge to help Switzerland improve its understanding about China. Meanwhile, I will also help China better understand Switzerland to promote close cooperation between the two nations.
I have been an old friend of China. I made my first visit to this country at the very start of its reforms and opening-up in 1978, when I was appointed by a Swiss company to prepare for the incorporation of a joint venture. At that time, I was full of curiosity about this strange country. I still remember clearly how Chinese women used to wear the same unvarying hairstyle and gloomy-colored suits and how people stuck to their traditional ideology. After that, I revisited this country several times and once resided there as the Swiss Ambassador to China. In the early 1990s, I started collecting modern Chinese artwork and communicating with Chinese artists, through whose eyes and experiences I have understood this country's history and culture and the lives of its people. It has been an honor for me to witness the fundamental changes in China and to personally participate in its reforms and opening-up policies. In a mere three decades, China has taken on a brand new look in every aspect and exhibited to the whole world its great vigor and dazzling glamour.
Meanwhile, however, I have also seen how China's rapid economic growth has created some problems, such as environmental damage and a gap between urban and rural development.
I believe an understanding and concern about these problems helped motivate this World Expo to choose the theme "Better City, Better Life." Reaching beyond the scope of its predecessor s, which centered their exhibitions on scientific and technological inventions, progress and achievements, this World Expo has innovatively provided the whole world with a platform for joint discussion about urban development issues. It fully exhibits China’s courage and resolution in facing up to problems in its own development and brims with foresight and intelligence.
Since urban problems arising from rapid economic growth have become a hot and thorny issue for the whole world, many nations have been trying to find a "key" for addressing these
problems. Switzerland once faced many problems similar to those China is facing today. At the first glance, Switzerland and China seem dissimilar. Switzerland is a small territory with a population of only 7.4 million. It is not as vast or populated as China and suffers a
per-capita shortage of resources. However, the two nations are actually facing some similar development problems such as density of population and large tracts of inhospitable land. One-third of Switzerland’s territory consists of rocks, forests and lakes. Over a long time, Switzerland has been looking for an approach to sustainable development to achieve harmony between urban and rural areas, between human beings and nature.
世界百位名人谈世博：李嗣涔
编辑点评：李嗣涔1952年生，毕业于台湾大学电机系，分别取得美国斯坦福大学电机系硕士和博士学位。先后担任台湾大学电机系副教授、台湾大学教务长。主要研究半导体领域，是台湾地区早期研究非晶矽的学者，也是国际电机电子工程学会会员。2005年起担任台湾大学校长。
城市在人类历史的发展上，向来毁誉参半。人因为建立城市，而不再受制于自然，但同时也逐渐丧失了与自然的亲近。因此，吊诡的结果是，人因为城市的扩张而建立的自主性，其实也逐日地淘空了人的自主性。在这样一个矛盾的关系中，人如何将已走上不归路的城市生活，化为兼顾发展与自然、科技与人文的动能中心，而不再扮演为人类虚荣而牺牲自然、其他人类、人的内在等的头号杀手角色，是我们这代人最重要的使命。
上海世博会以“城市，让生活更美好”为主题，正呼应了这个当代关怀，以更先进的科技，改善科技为人类带来的弊端；以更进步的观念，挽救以“进步”之名肆意发展所造成的残局，以城市的再造，带领人类重回自然的怀抱。这一切都非一蹴可几，而须人类在大彻大悟之下，通力合作，长期耕耘。世博会正是难得的全球合作与全球教育的契机。
而上海能以这样进步的主轴，主办这样有深远意义的活动，也意味着上海不但勇于面对来自城市未来的挑战，也勇于承担起城市的全球性责任。相信，在上海世博会的带领下，中国也能从一个物质生产的沃土，逐渐成为进步观念的乐园。
In human history, cities have drawn criticism as often as praise. Through the development of cities, mankind has freed itself from the restrictions of nature. At the same time, however,
mankind has gradually lost its attachment to nature. It's ironic that the independence acquired from urban expansion has actually fettered our freedom. Facing this contradiction, we must therefore reorient urban life to achieve a balance between development and nature, between technology and humanity. We must cease allowing the vanity of urbanization to usurp nature, our fellow human beings and our core values. This is the paramount challenge of our generation.
The theme of World Expo 2010 Shanghai China–"Better City, Better Life"–exemplifies the mission we face. We must address the adverse effects of technology with better technology. We must save society by developing better concepts than those we call progress in the face of rampant development. We must re-establish harmonious ties with nature. None of these missions can be accomplished at one stroke. Instead, they require our acute awareness, our determined cooperation and our commitment to achieving success in our aims. The World Expo will duly provide us with a rare opportunity toward that goal.
As the host city for a milestone event with such an enlightening theme, Shanghai has shown its courage in addressing the challenges of future urban development and defining the global responsibilities of cities. It is my belief that through World Expo 2010, China will advance from the world factory of material production into an international cradle of civilization's promising future.
百位名人谈世博：斯蒂芬·佩里
编辑点评：上世纪50年代初，斯蒂芬的父亲杰克·佩里打破欧洲对新中国的经济封锁，组成48家集团开辟了中国与西方的第一条贸易通道，史称中英关系的“破冰者”。斯蒂芬·佩里延续传统，成为新的48家集团俱乐部主席，人称“小佩里”。
“从某种程度上讲，2010年的上海世博会比2008年的北京奥运会还要重大。奥运会仅持续3到4周，而上海世博会将持续好几个月，展现中国丰富的历史文化，吸引全世界民众参观访问。他们不但能目睹现在中国的面貌，还能通过世博会，想象到未来中国的发展前景。”
作为中国人民的好朋友，英国48家集团俱乐部主席斯蒂芬·佩里在接受记者有关上海世博会采访时，兴奋地给予了充分的前瞻性。
1953年，以佩里父亲杰克·佩里为代表的一批英国工商界人士成为新中国首批访华的西方商人。他们打破了当时西方国家实施的对华禁运，被誉为中英关系的“破冰者”。次年，他们创立了“英中贸易48家集团”，也即48家集团俱乐部的前身，50多年来，48家集团俱乐部一直致力于对华友好合作，增进了中英两国人民的友谊。佩里一家也和中国结下了不解之缘。
说起来，佩里家族和世博会还颇有渊源——世博会曾改变佩里家族的命运。“我的两位祖姨母来自东欧的立陶宛，上世纪初，她们离开了立陶宛，选择去美国的圣路易斯。她们为什么决定要去美国呢？因为1900年的世博会就是在圣路易斯举行的。对她们来说，这意味着美国充满了机会，其他国家的人都希望能到美国看看。至今，祖姨母的后代依然居住在圣路易斯。”因此佩里自信地说，“2010年上海世博会的召开必定会给上海、给中国，乃至给全世界带来难以想象的机遇和影响。”
斯蒂芬·佩里可以说是个“中国通”。从1972年开始，他先后200多次造访中国，目睹了中国社会的变迁。在英国，他经常组织各类讲座和活动，介绍中国文化、中国企业和中国市场。现任英国商务大臣彼得·曼德尔森、英国前副首相迈克尔·赫塞尔廷、伦敦前市长肯·利文斯通等都曾接受他的邀请参加演讲。
对于上海世博会，长期关注世界政治和全球经济的佩里还特别谈到：“你看，目前中国对世界的影响越来越大，而世博会恰巧在这个时期召开。它产生的影响不仅是在2010这一年，之后很长时间里，人们都会因此而关注上海、关注中国。”斯蒂芬·佩里十分看好中国，他说，中国改革开放30年之所以成功，是因为中国政府实事求是的态度。如果某项政策行不通，不适合中国，政府领导人就会改变方向，制定新的策略。他们不附属于教条，也不是政策的奴隶。他们会及时改进，把事情做好。
结束采访时，对中国充满感情的斯蒂芬·佩里表达了对上海世博会的由衷祝福：“对任何人来说，2010年的世博会都将是一段美好的经历。你们能作为主办方亲自设计这个盛会，我真是羡慕啊！”
To a certain extent, World Expo 2010 Shanghai China is more significant than the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. Unlike the Olympic Games that only lasted three to four weeks, this World Expo will showcase the profound history and culture of China for several months, during which visitors from all over the world will be able to view first-hand China's current image and its image for the future.
World Expos have a personal meaning in my family. Two of my grand-aunts were from Lithuania in Eastern Europe. In the beginning of last century, they left Lithuania and chose to go to St. Louis in the United States.
Why did they choose to go to the United States? It was because World Expo 1900 was held in St. Louis. They believed the United States would be full of opportunities because of the exposition. The descendant s of my grand-aunts still live in St. Louis today.
The hosting of World Expo 2010 Shanghai China will create unimaginable opportunities and will have a profound impact on Shanghai, China and even the whole world. This event coincides with the continuing growth of China's global influence and will leave its imprint for a long time to come.
The success of China's reform and opening-up during the past 30 years can be attributed to the practical and realistic policies of the Chinese government. When policies were unfeasible or unsuitable, government leaders weren't afraid to change course in positive ways.
World Expo 2010 Shanghai China will be a beautiful experience for all. I applaud the planning of this great event.
成龙谈世博：更重要的是比环保
编辑点评：成龙，华人社会具有影响力的影坛巨星，上海世博会形象大使。他身兼歌手、演员和导演多种身份，是国际影坛功夫巨星，在大陆、香港和东南亚等华人地区具有很高声望与影响。
As an actor, I have visited many countries and countless cities big and small. I have traveled from Hong Kong to Hollywood, from China to the outside world and then back to my homeland again. In one sense, I have completed a “circle.” After meeting so many people and seeing so many different lifestyles, I have become increasingly aware of the importance that a healthy, eco-friendly environment plays in the lives of city residents.
There is a saying that “people who live in cities create the urban landscape.” In my opinion, it is human beings that constitute cities, create a beautiful life and live it. Human beings are the cells and souls of cities. If people deserve top billing in development policies, as we have often heard, then development of our cities should be people-oriented. It is people that give cities their culture, character and creativity, turning them into landscapes that beautify our earth.
Just like human beings, a city will grow in a healthy manner only with warm sunlight, fresh air and clean water. These are the fundamental conditions that allow urban dwellers to raise families successfully, and only by the mutual commitment of all people can development of harmonious relations exist. Through the convergence of harmonious cities across the world, the earth would become even more lovely.
I served as an image ambassador for Beijing’s bid to host the Olympic Games, and I am honored to work in a similar capacity for World Expo 2010 Shanghai China, another great international event. While the Olympic Games dealt with sports, the World Expo is business-oriented. This is not, however, merely a sort of gala. As its theme “Better City, Better Life” implies, this event is closely related to our life and its quality. This World Expo proclaims a great theme. Environmental protection has now moved to the world’s center stage.
Rather than simply trumpeting the World Expo as an image ambassador, I, as a citizen of China and a compatriot of Shanghai, would just like to express the love and confidence Shanghai residents hold for their city. I want to raise public awareness of environmental protection at the grassroots level. No matter which city we live in, we share the same blue sky above us, and we also hope to leave this blue sky to our future generations. For the sake of our cities and everyone living in them, we can all contribute in our daily lives by saving water, recycling water, turning off lights we don’t need, reducing dependence on air conditioners, making the best use of paper, recycling wastes, preferring public transport, rejecting food made from wild animals, and properly disposing of used batteries. When we work together to protect our cities, we are also protecting our earth.
Speaking from my own experience I’d like to tell you that we should not only trust ourselves, but also trust humanity, trust kindness, trust mercy and more importantly, trust our nation. Belief is a power that creates a beautiful life for us all.
I am confident this World Expo will be an unprecedented event in that cause.
由于工作拍戏的缘故，我去了很多不同的国家，到过世界各地许多的城市，大大小小无法计数。从香港到好莱坞，从中国到世界，再从世界回到自己的国家，可以说我走完了“一个圈”。见了很多不同的人，也看到他们的各色生活，就越来越觉得，一个健康、环保的城市对人们的生活多么重要。
所谓“人在城中，城在景中”，在我看来，构成城市的主体是人，创造美好生活的主体是人，享受美好生活的主体也是人。人，既是城市的细胞，又是城市的灵魂。如果说，国家和社会的发展要“以人为本”，城市的发展更是要“以人为本”。人，赋予了城市文化、性格和创造力，才使得城市成为地球上一道多姿的风景。所以，城市的发展也好比一个人的成长，是否能健康发育，其基本需要是有温暖的阳光、清新的空气、干
净的水。只有这样，活在城市中的人，才能生气蓬勃地撑起千万个家；只有全世界的人相互支撑，人与人之间和谐相处，城与城的共融交汇，世界才会更美好。
现在，我从北京申奥形象大使到上海世博大使，是非常开心的。这又是一个国际盛事，奥林匹克是关于运动的，世博会是关于文明的。但这又不仅仅只是一个盛事，正如“城市，让生活更美好”，这个盛事是与我们的生活、生活的质量息息相关。这一次世博的主题很好，除了大家在比科技，最主要的是要比环保。
我不愿意简单地作为一名上海世博形象大使去讲世博的好，而是更希望以这个国家的一分子，这个城市的一分子，来传播中国人对自己城市的爱护和信心，来推广从小处环保、从自己开始环保的方式。不管住在哪个城市，我们头顶的都是同样一片蓝天，我们还希望给后代也留下一片蓝天。为了城市的呼吸，为了城市里的人呼吸，我们可以从节约每一滴水、一水多用、随手关灯、减用空调、珍惜纸张、回收垃圾、多乘公共交通、拒食野生动物、妥善处理电池等等这些身边小事做起。我们携手保护了我们的城市，也是在保护着我们的地球。
同时，我仅以自己所走过的路、看过的风景来告诉大家，我们不仅要相信自己，还要相信人性，相信善良，相信慈悲，更要相信我们的国家。相信是一种力量，它将凝结成我们美好的生活。
我也相信，这一届世博也将是史无前例的。
世界百位名人谈世博：费德勒
编辑点评：网球天王费德勒对2010年世博会有着什么样的期待呢？每年满世界比赛，但对上海我却有着不一样的感情。在亚洲，甚至在全世界范围内，上海都是我最钟爱的城市之一。
Although I am running all over the world from one tournament to another all year round, I always cherish a particular attachment to Shanghai, one of my favorite cities in Asia and even in the whole world.
每年满世界比赛，但对上海我却有着不一样的感情。在亚洲，甚至在全世界范围内，上海都是我最钟爱的城市之一。
I have been in Shanghai five times since 2002. This is a wonderful city, very modern and full of skyscrapers. It is different from Switzerland and has many new things that fascinate me. Of course, the restaurants here are really great. Every time I come to Shanghai, I experience something new and different. On my way into town from the airport, I am always amazed by the constant changes taking place in this city, such as the skyscrapers rising up in Lujiazui and the downtown areas changing their look with each passing day. The greatest excitement for me is the exceptional enthusiasm of the tennis fans here. They all anticipate our visit so eagerly and with such great warmth that I always feel reluctant to leave once I am in Shanghai. Among my tennis fans, those in Shanghai are the warmest and the most loyal in the world.
从2002年起，我已经来过上海五次了。这是一个很棒的城市。这座城市非常现代化，有很多摩天大楼，和瑞士很不一样，这里有许多我热爱的新鲜事物，当然，这里的餐馆也相当不错。每次来到上海，我都会有不一样的感受，从机场过来的一路上，我总会惊叹于这座城市一刻不停的变化：陆家嘴摩天大楼和日新月异的城市中心……最让我兴奋的是，这里的球迷极其热情，每一次，他们都非常期待我的到来，所以每一次的上海之行，总让我流连忘返。可以说，在我所接触过的球迷中，上海的球迷应该是世界上最热情、也是最忠实的了。
I know 2010 is an important year for Shanghai and this World Expo will further enhance the charms of this energetic city. In fact, I already felt Shanghai’s World Expo“pulse”during my last visit to Shanghai. I saw so many posters and slogans promoting the exposition, and some working sketches of the venues still under construction. Together, they remind us of the approaching of the World Expo. Every time I saw them, my heart would leap. Perhaps the most lingering impression for me is Haibao, the spritely blue mascot of World Expo 2010 Shanghai China that greets visitors everywhere across the metropolis.
我知道2010年对于上海来说很重要，世博会的举行，会让这座充满了活力的城市更加迷人。事实上，当我上次来上海的时候，就已经感受到上海迎接世博会的“节拍”了。一路上，我看到许多世博会的广告牌和标语，我还看到了一些世博场馆的效果图，这些都在告诉我们每一个人，世博会马上要来了。每当此时，我的心也会跟着这座城市跳跃起来了。给我留下最深刻印象的，要数可爱的“海宝”了，我在上海的大街小巷都会看到这些蔚蓝色的吉祥物，城市的每个角落，我都能看到它活泼的身影。
I have never visited any World Expo before, but I know something about the one held in Germany and another hosted in Aichi, Japan. I believe World Expo 2010 Shanghai China will be the most successful of them all. I am looking forward to it eagerly.
我还从来没参加过任何世博会，但我对上一届德国世博会和爱知世博会都有一些了解，当然，我相信上海世博会将是最成功的。对于上海的世博会，我充满了期待。
It is a pity that I have a heavy schedule of tournaments next year and may not be able to visit Shanghai during this World Expo. However, I will certainly come and see the World Expo site when I am next in Shanghai. The top attraction for me will surely be the Swiss Pavilion, though I would visit others as time permits. I have heard that the China Pavilion looks great, so I think it will be a must-see for me.
不过遗憾的是，我今年的参赛计划安排得满满的，世博会期间，或许我没有时间来上海了。不过如果我有时间，或者下次来上海的话，我将肯定要去重温一下世博会，最想去的当然是瑞士馆了，有时间的话还想去逛逛其他展馆，听说中国馆也很漂亮，我想我是肯定要去的。
Every time I come to Shanghai for a tournament, I find the warmth and friendship of local people among the most overwhelming of anywhere in the world. This is why I feel such a deep attachment to the city. Shanghai has become one of the most renowned tennis cities in the world. The welcome I have always received here has been heart-warming. I am sure that other people coming from across the world who visit the World Expo will be equally impressed by Shanghai’s hospitality.
每次来参加比赛，上海对球员表现出来的热情和友好是世界上首屈一指的，所以每次来上海，我都感觉非常亲切，上海已经成为世界上最负盛名的网球城市之一了。在上海所感受到的温暖，给我留下了非常深刻的印象。相信在世博会期间，从世界各地来参观世博会的嘉宾们，对于上海的热情好客，也一定能和我有一样深切的体会。
In the end, my family and I would like to send our best and most sincere wishes for your wonderful World Expo.
最后，我和我的家人为你们举办一届出彩的世博会送上最美好、最真挚的祝福。
