今天来这里开会，我的心情十分沉重。印度洋大地震及其引发的海啸，在短短几小时内就夺去了十几万人的宝贵生命，造成了巨大的损失。这不仅是有关国家的灾难，也是全人类的灾难。这场灾难牵动着每一个中国人的心。我愿借此机会，代表中国政府和13亿中国人民向遭受灾难的国家和人民再次致以最深切的慰问。//
中国是饱受自然灾害的国家。我们对灾害带给人们的痛苦感同身受，深知患难真情之可贵。灾害发生后，中国政府进行了迄今为止最大规模的对外救援行动。在首批援助金额2163万元的基础上，又承诺向受灾国增加5亿元人民币的援助。中国医疗队、救援队已抵达现场参加救灾，数批救灾物资已经运抵主要受灾国家。//
我们提供的力所能及的援助是无私的，它充分体现了中国人民对受灾国家人民的深情厚意，显示了中国政府积极参与救灾和灾区重建工作的真诚意愿。我们将密切关注灾情的发展，并已派出工作组赴受灾国参与灾情调查和评估，根据受灾国实际需要，进一步提供各类援助。中国一贯说话是算数的。我们做出的承诺一定会办到、办好。过去是这样，现在是这样，将来也是这样。//
受灾国家救灾工作艰难浩大，灾后重建更是任重道远，需要国际社会的大力支持和帮助。东盟倡议召开此次特别峰会十分必要和及时，对推动受灾国、本地区国家和国际社会加强协调，形成合力，做好救灾和重建工作将产生重要影响。中国愿为这场救灾和重建工作做出积极贡献。//

A【51】of foreign words still look like foreign words; there are often expressions which【52】originally used by people who wanted to sound particularly well-educated. It was the desire to be scholarly that brought【53】a wave of Latin terms which appeared in the 16th century【54】the Humanist movement brought new impetus to learning throughout Europe.【55】such as, e. g. (from the Latin meaning a voluntary example); PS (meaning" added after the latter has been written" ); a.m. and【56】(meaning "before noon" and" after noon" ) came into the language at this time. Nowadays they are【57】common that most people don't even know【58】the letters actually stand for and there's certainly nothing learned about using them today !
In addition to the words brought to English【59】foreigners, there are plenty of words which the British have collected from the countries they have settled in all【60】the world. There are even a few Chinese words, which I’m sure a Chinese speaker would recognize from the way we pronounce them:" typhoon" is a great wind; "to kow-tow" is to bow down low; a "sampan" is a small wooden boat. Over 5,000 of the words in common use in English today are words of foreign【61】. Some of them are clearly recognizable【62】foreign like "au pair" or "rendezvous";【63】now look so English that only a language historian knows【64】they came from.
So English is in a state of permanent development. Both in Britain and abroad it is gaining【65】words and expressions, and dropping and changing old【66】. Words changes their meaning, and they go in and out of fashion【67】hairstyles. Nobody knows all the four million words that are said to exist; a well-educated person probably【68】under 20,000. So don't be surprised if you never encounter some of the expressions that still appear in school textbook; and next time you hear somebody using a strange word you haven't heard【69】, you can comfort yourself that there may well be a native speaker somewhere who doesn't know it【70】.
