Ladies and Gentlemen,
Let me start by telling you the story of Beatrice Gakuba. In Rwanda in Africa, I met a remarkable woman whose hard work and determination symbolize the talents and dreams of millions of Africans.
Beatrice Gakuba left a comfortable life in the West to start a flower-growing business in her native Rwanda. Against enormous odds, her small farm grew, creating jobs for nearly 200 rural women. When I asked Beatrice Gakuba why she decided to take on such a daunting challenge, she replied, "I came here to grow beautiful flowers on the ashes of genocide." Her biggest obstacle to creating even more jobs is not a lack of skilled workers or entrepreneurial spirit; it is a weak infrastructure that makes electricity unreliable and transportation unaffordable.
Through sound policies, Rwanda has come a long way from its years of pain and conflict. In a new report, Rwanda is cited by the World Bank as a model for Africa in reforming business regulations. In the last seven years, Rwanda’s economy grew an average of more than 6 percent annually. Some other African countries are on the right track. To transform Africa into a continent of hope, they need our help.
The responsibility for doing more and better cannot be left to the developing world alone. It demands more than high profile meetings. It demands urgent result.
Today, we have a choice.
The direction we take now can help make a difference for the millions of people trapped in extreme poverty. For many, it can be a difference between life and death.
We promised here five years ago, to help bring hope, dignity and opportunity into the lives of the poorest. We promised to measure and achieve results. As we gather here today, let us not forget the Beatrice Gakubas of the world, who stand poised to transform their countries.
Today, we stand accountable to them.
Thank you.
选项
答案
女士们、先生们: 首先,我要给各位讲一个关于Beatrice Gakuba的故事。我在非洲的卢旺达见到一位了不起的妇女,她的辛勤工作和坚定决心代表了千百万非洲人的才智和梦想。 Beatrice Gakuba放弃了在西方的优越生活,回到祖国卢旺达开办鲜花种植场。她克服重重困难,使小种植场由小变大,为将近200名农村妇女提供了就业机会。我问她为什么要接受这个不小的挑战,她说: “我来这,是为了在种族杀戮的废墟上种出美丽的花朵。”阻碍她创造更多就业机会的最主要原因并不是缺少技能熟练的工人或缺乏企业家精神,而是由于基础设施的薄弱,使得电力缺乏,交通昂贵。 通过实施好的政策,卢旺达早已摆脱了过去的痛苦和冲突。世界银行新近出台的一份报告中称卢旺达是非洲国家改革企业政策的典范。卢旺达过去七年的年均经济增长超过6%。其它一些非洲国家也正沿着正确的轨道发展。这些国家需要我们的帮助,来把非洲变成一片希望的大陆。 向非洲提供更多、更好的帮助不应该只是发展中国家的责任。要帮助非洲,仅仅召开高级别会议是不够的,人们需要立即看到结果。 我们今天需要做出选择。 我们今天选择的方向将改变千百万极度贫困人口的处境,对许多人来讲,这一选择将影响他们的生死。 五年前,我们承诺要给最贫困人的生活带去希望、尊严和机遇,同时承诺要行必果,并对成果加以评估。我们今天聚集于此,不能忘记世界上那些像Beatrice Gakuba一样时刻准备改变自己国家的人们。 今天,我们对他们负有责任。 谢谢。

1.In Rwanda in Africa,I met a remarkable woman whose hard work and determination symbolize the talents and dreams of millions of Africans.

2.When I asked Beatrice Gakuba why she decided to take on such a daunting challenge,she replied“I came here to grow beautiful flowers on the ashes of genocide.”
原文句子结构分析如下:1)时间状语从句+主句;2)主句结构:(主语)she+ (谓语)replied+(宾语从句)“I came here to grow beautiful flowers on the ashes of genocide”。翻译时,主句直接引语中的地点状语应该调整语序。

5.We promised here five years ago,to help bring hope,dignity and opportunity into the lives of the poorest.
原句句子结构分析如下:(主语)we+(谓语)promised+(宾语)to help bring hope,dignity and opportunity。“five years ago是时间状语,翻译时应该前置。
