An Epoch-making Toast（划时代的祝酒词）
5.So，let us，in these next five days，start a long march together，not in lockstep，but on different roads leading to the same goal，the goal of building a world structure of peace and justice in which all may stand together with equal dignity and in which each nation，large or small，has a right to determine its own form of government，free of outside interference or domination.The world watches.The world listens.The world waits to see what we will do.What is the world？In a personal sense，I think of my eldest daughter whose birthday is today.As I think of her，I think of all the children in the world，in Asia，in Africa，in Europe，in the Americas，most of whom were born since the date of the foundation of the People's Republic of China.
5、因此，让我们在今后的五天里在一起开始一次长征吧，不是在一起迈步，而是在不同的道路上向同一目标前进。这个目标就是建立一个和平和正义的世界结构：在这个世界结构中，所有的人都可以在一起享有同等的尊严；在这个世界结构中，每个国家，不论大小，都有权利决定自己的政府形式，不受外来的干涉或统治。全世界在注视着。全世界在倾听着。全世界在等待着看我们将做些什么。这个世界是什么呢？就个人来讲，我想到我的大女儿，因为今天是她的生日。当我想到她的时候，我就想到全世界的儿童，想到亚洲、非洲、欧洲以及美洲的儿童，他们大多数都是在中华人民共和国成立以后出生的。
6.What legacy shall we leave our children？Are they destined to die for the hatreds which have plagued the old world，or are they destined to live because we have the Vision to build a new world？
6、我们将给我们的孩子们留下什么遗产呢？他们的命运是怀着对旧世界中的苦难的仇恨而死亡呢，还是由于我们有缔造一个新世界的远见而活下去呢？
7.There is no reason for us to be enemies.Neither of us seeks the territory of the other；neither of us seeks domination over the other；neither of us seeks to stretch out our hands and rule the world.
7、我们没有理由要成为敌人。我们哪一方都不企图取得对方的领土，我们哪一方都不企图统治对方，我们哪一方都不企图伸出手去统治世界。
8.Chairman Mao has written，"So many deeds cry out to be done，and always urgently；The world rolls on，Time presses.Ten thousand years are too long，Seize the day，seize the hour！"This is the hour.This is the day for our two peoples to rise to the heights of greatness which can build a new and a better world.
8、毛主席写过：“多少事，从来急；天地转，光阴迫。一万年太久，只争朝夕。”现在就是只争朝夕的时候了，是我们两国人民攀登那种可以缔造一个新的、更美好的世界的伟大事业的高峰的时候了。
9.In that spirit，I ask all of you present to join me in raising your glasses to Chairman Mao，to Prime Minister Chou，and to the friendship of the Chinese and American people which can lead to friendship and peace for all people in the world.
9、本着这种精神，我请求诸位同我一起举杯，为毛主席，为周总理，为能够导致全世界所有人民的友谊与和平的中国人民和美国人民之间的友谊，干杯。
