中国将在2010年上海世博会上为世界人民奉献什么？毫无疑问，中国人民将为五湖四海的宾客奉上一届成功、精彩、难忘的盛会
Expo 2010 Shanghai China will be a great event to explore the full potentials of urban life in the 21st century and a significant period in urban evolution. It is expected that 55 percent of the world population will be living in cities by the year 2010. The prospect of the future urban life, a subject of global interest, concerns all nations, developed or less developed, and their peoples. Being the first World Exposition on the theme of city, the Exposition 2010 will attract governments and peoples across the world who, focusing on the theme “Better City, Better Life” during its 184 days’ run, will display to the full extent the urban civilization, exchange their experience of urban development, disseminate advanced notions on cities and explore new approaches to human habitat, life style and working conditions in the new century and learn how to create an eco-friendly society and maintain the sustainable development of human beings.
中国2010年上海世博会将是一次探讨新世纪人类城市生活的伟大盛会。21世纪是城市发展的重要时期，预计到2010年，全球总人口中的55%将居住在城市。因此，对未来城市生活的憧憬与展望是一项全球性课题，它与不同发展水平的国家和人民都休戚相关。作为首届以“城市”为主题的世界博览会，在上海世博会184天的展期里，世界各国政府和人民将围绕“城市，让生活更美好”这一主题充分展示城市文明成果、交流城市发展经验、传播先进城市理念，从而为新世纪人类的居住、生活和工作探索崭新的模式，为生态和谐社会的缔造和人类的可持续发展提供生动的例证。

Expo 2010 Shanghai China will be centered on innovation and interaction. Innovation is the soul while cultural interaction is an important mission of the World Expositions. In the new era, Expo 2010 Shanghai China will contribute to human-centered development, scientific and technological innovation, cultural diversity, win-win cooperation for a better future, thus composing a melody with the key notes of highlighting innovation and interaction in the new century.
中国2010年上海世博会将是一曲以“创新”和“融合”为主旋律的交响乐。创新是世博会亘古不变的灵魂；跨文化的碰撞和融合，则是世博会一如既往的使命。“以人为本、科技创新、文化多元、合作共赢、面向未来”——上海世博会将在新的时代背景下继续弘扬“创新”和“融合”的主旋律，创作一曲人类新世纪的美妙乐章。
Expo 2010 Shanghai China will also be a grand international gathering. On the one hand, we shall endeavor to attract about 200 nations and international organizations to take part in the exhibition as well as 70 million visitors from home and abroad, ensuring the widest possible participation in the history of the World Expositions. On the other hand, we will put Expo 2010 Shanghai China in a global perspective and do our best to encourage the participation and gain the understanding and support of various countries and peoples, in order to turn Expo 2010 Shanghai China into a happy reunion of peoples from all over the world.
中国2010年上海世博会将是世界各国人民的一次伟大聚会。一方面，她将努力吸引200个左右的国家和国际组织参展，吸引海内外7000万人次游客前来参观，从而以最为广泛的参与度载入世博会的史册。另一方面，我们将始终以全球的视野来筹备和举办上海世博会，举全国之力，集世界智慧，最大限度地争取世界各国政府和各国人民的参与、理解和支持，从而使上海世博会真正成为“世界人民的大团圆”。
In addition, Expo 2010 Shanghai China will offer a wonderful opportunity for cross-culture dialogues. Before the conclusion of the Exposition, “Shanghai Declaration” will be issued. This declaration, hopefully a milestone in the history of the World Expositions, will epitomize the insights to be offered by the participants and embody people’s ideas for future cooperation and development and extensive common aspirations, thereby leaving a rich spiritual legacy of urban development to the people throughout the world.
中国2010年上海世博会还将成为人类文明的一次精彩对话。上海世博会闭幕前将发表《上海宣言》。这一世纪性的宣言将汇集各国人民在世博会上的真知灼见，承载人们对全球未来合作与人类未来发展的深邃思考和广泛共识。这将是上海世博会为世界人民留下有关城市主题的一份丰厚的精神遗产。
The Chinese Government will go to great lengths to make Expo 2010 Shanghai China a special event that carries on traditions and opens a new vista into the future. “Keeping in mind the next 60 years’ development while preparing for the 6 months’ exposition”—that is our motto. We count on the continuing attention, support and participation of all the peace-loving countries.
着手6个月、着眼60年——中国政府将竭尽全力举办一届既传承历史、又继往开来的世博会。我们期待着一切向往和平的国家一如既往地关注上海世博会、支持上海世博会、参与上海世博会。
