Nor is the importance of trade likely to diminish for either China or the United States. China will continue to depend upon lucrative export markets to earn the foreign exchange it needs to develop and grow. At the same time, China’s imports will supply the much needed advanced technology to fuel its continued development.
For the United States, new commercial opportunities will grow most rapidly in the emerging markets. We estimate that three quarters of new export opportunities over the next twenty years-that’s an incredible $1.9 trillion in potential exports-will come in the emerging markets of Asia and Latin America. This means jobs for American workers and a higher standard of living for the American people.

诸位毕业生和同学们：

……
易卜生( Henrik Ibsen)说过：“你们的最大责任是把自己这块材料铸成器。”
学问便是铸器的工具，抛弃了学问便是毁了你们自己。
你们的母校期待着，看你们十年以后成什么器。
