A total of 246 official participants, including 190 countries and 56 international organizations, have taken part in this Expo, more than in any previous Expo. Since 1 May, there have been more than 70 million visits to the Expo, another record number in the Expo history. People form around the world streamed to the Expo Site situated along the beautiful Huangpu River. Undeterred by the searing heat or soaking rain, they waited patiently in long lines to witness this much anticipated event. For the first time, an Online Expo was launched, opening a new window for more people to be part of the Expo. Through such extensive participation, Expo 2010 Shanghai has truly brought together people around the globe.
上海世博会是一次精彩的盛会，近6平方公里的世博园仿佛是一个地球村，一座座风格迥异、造型别致的建筑物毗邻而居，随风舞动的英国馆、枫叶造型的加拿大馆，形容"丝路宝船"的沙特馆等各具特色。尽情挥洒着人类智慧的奇思妙想。世界各国的文化瑰宝纷纷闪亮登场，中国的战国铜车马，沙拉的雅典纳神像，法国印象派大师的传世之座，丹麦的小美人鱼、塞舌尔的亚达伯拉象等世界奇世文化珍品，让人目不暇接、美不胜收。平均每天100多场，总计2万多场次的文化演艺活动，荟萃了绚丽多姿的各国文化的精髓，给人心旷神怡的精神享受。全球许多政治家、企业家、政府官员和专家学者莅临中国，在上海世博会系列论坛上发表真知灼见，探索未来世界，碰撞出无数睿智的思想火花，给人以无限的遐想和启迪。上海世博会犹如一部写在大地上的百科全书，构成了一幅多元文化和谐共荣的美好画卷。
Expo 2010 Shanghai has been a splendid event. The Expo Site, which covers about six square kilometers, is like a global village. Here, you can find a rich variety of structures, each with its distinct and exquisite style, the British Pavilion resembling a huge dandelion dancing in the breeze, the Canadian Pavilion in the shape of a maple leaf, and the Saudi Pavilion which looks like a sailing treasure boat. And they all speak to the best of human ingenuity. Here, you can see on display rare cultural treasures of the world: the bronze chariot and horse sculpture from China’s Warring States period, the statue of Athena from Greece, the masterpieces of French impressionist painters, the Litter Mermaid from Denmark and the Aldabra giant tortoises from the Seychelles. They are truly a feast to the eyes. Here, over 100 cultural performances were staged every day. Through a total of more than 20,000 cultural events, visitors got a taste of the quintessence of the world’s diverse cultures and found it a rewarding cultural experience. Here political leaders, business people, government officials, experts and scholars gathered together at the series of Expo Forums to share insightful vies an discuss the future of the world, firing people with imagination and inspiration. All this has made Expo 2010 Shanghai an encyclopedia lying open on the land and a magnificent painting showcasing the integration and harmony of diverse cultures.
上海世博会是一次难忘的盛会，世博会让渴望了解世界的中国人民,和渴望了解中国的各国朋友走在一起，相互间结下了深厚的友谊。世博会开幕式上，来自青海玉树灾区的两位藏族儿童和不同国家、不同肤色的孩子们牵手相拥，表现出人类在苦难面前同舟共济的兄弟的情谊。一位叫山田外美代的日本老人，人称“世博奶奶”。4年前就来到中国，为参观世博会探路，几年中往返中国18次，世博会开幕以后，她购买了183张门票，每天都出现在世博园。另一位来自中国浙江省年过七旬的农村老人，在上海租了一间小房子，为国内外参观者免费提供住宿，自己甘愿睡在小沙发上，感动了无数的人。最为引人注目的是8万多名身穿青色白裤的园区志愿者，人们亲切地称之为“小白菜”。还有近200万名城市志愿者活跃在街头巷尾。他们的灿烂笑容和热情服务，成为解读中国的真正名牌。
Expo 2010 Shanghai has been an unforgettable event. The Expo has brought together the Chinese people who wish to learn more about the world and foreign friends who wish to know more about China. Thanks to the Expo, they have forged a strong bond of friendship. At the opening ceremony of the Expo, two Tibetan kids from the earthquake-affected Yushu county of Qinghai Province joined kids of different countries and different colors. They embraced each other and held hands together. That scene is a vivid example of human solidarity and fraternity in the face of adversity. Yamada Tomiyo from Japan, known as “Expo Granny,” began her 18 trips to China four years ago in anticipation of the event. When the Expo opened, she bought 183 tickets and came to visit the site every day. There is an old lady in her seventies from the countryside of Zhejiang Province. She rented a small apartment in Shanghai to provide free accommodation to Chinese and foreign visitors while she herself would sleep on a small couch. Her story has touched all of us. I would like to mention in particular the more than 80,000 volunteers at the Expo site, whose green tops and white pants earned them the lovely nickname of “Little Cabbages,” and the nearly tow million volunteers working across the city. Their bright smiles and hospitable services are the best name card for a real China.
上海世博会是在国际金融危机的背景下首次来到发展中国家，首次在一个特大城市的中心城区举办，这对中国是严峻的考验。八年来，我们举全国之力，集世界智慧，有条不紊地做好各项筹办工作，特别是上海人民，做出了无私的奉献。同时，国际展览局和往届世博会举办国也给予了宝贵的指导。世博会的成功举办凝结着无数人们的辛勤劳动，正是广大世博会的组织者、建设者、工作者、参观者、志愿者的真诚、智慧和汗水，共同铸就了世博会的辉煌。在这里，我谨代表中国政府，向一切参与世博、支持世博和为世博做出贡献的同志们和朋友们，表示衷心感谢和崇高敬意。
Expo 2010 Shanghai is the first Expo held by a developing country, the first held in the downtown area of a mega-city, and it was held under the shadow of the international financial crisis. This is a severe test to China and Shanghai. Over the past eight years, we mobilized resources throughout the Country and pooled the wisdom of the world in the preparation for the Expo. The people of Shanghai, in particular, made selfless contributions and the International Exhibitions Bureau and hot countries of past Expos provided valuable guidance. The success of the Expo could not have been possible without the tireless efforts of many people, including the organizers, construction workers, staff members, visitors and volunteers. It is their sincerity, wisdom and hard work that have rendered splendor to the Expo. On behalf of the Chinese government, I wish to express heartfelt gratitude and pay high tribute to all the comrades and friends who have participated in, supported and contributed to the Shanghai Expo.
女士们、先生们：
Ladies and Gentlemen,
上海世博会不仅荟萃了人类创造的物质文明，开阔了人们的眼界，而且为人类留下丰富的精神遗产，启迪了人们的心智，这是世博会的灵魂之所在。人类创造的一切文明成果，只有上升到精神和理性的高度时，才能成为人类的共同财富，并永久传承。今天，我们一起回顾这次盛会及其给我们留下的经验和启示，是很有意义的。
Expo 2010 Shanghai is an eye-opening event, showcasing the best material achievements of human civilizations. It will also leave behind a rich spiritual legacy and a constant source of inspiration. This is the soul of the Expo. Only when the fruits of human civilization are elevated onto the spiritual and philosophical level will they become the common assets of the entire humanity and be passed down from generation to generation. It is therefore highly relevant that we review this Expo and see what experience and inspiration we can draw from it.
