外国人看中国

爱尔兰西海岸企业家Pat O'Dea: 先进科技和温馨社区共存于中国

West Coast Irish Entrepreneur Pat O'Dea: China has both advanced technology and warm communities

你好，我是Pat O'Dea，我来自爱尔兰的西海岸，在这里我遇到了我美丽的妻子，英。几年前，我很幸运的跟她一起回到了中国和她的家人们见面。

Hello, my name is Pat O'Dea. I come from the west coast of Ireland, where I met my beautiful wife Ying. I was lucky enough a number of years ago to be brought back home to meet her family in China.

我们降落在北京。北京真的是个令人惊叹的城市。我们参观了紫禁城、长城和其他许多景点，亲眼看到这座大都市如此惊人高效地运行着，街上的公共汽车和出租车依靠绿色的新能源电池运驱动。之后我们去了西安，参观了秦始皇兵马俑。我亲自感受到了中国几千年前曾经在科学技术方面的辉煌，而今高兴地看到中国重新崛起，现在科学技术又走到了最前沿，不仅在地球上，还在太空中。我非常高兴地看到中国新空间站的发射，成功地将空间站送入轨道，并且三位中国宇航员的努力工作下，空间站一切运行正常。

We landed in Beijing, a truly amazing city. We managed to visit the Forbidden City, Great Wall, and many other attractions. It was amazing to see how such a huge city to be ran so efficiently with all the buses and taxis running on the new green energy in battery power. We then went to visit Xi'an, where we got to see the historical remains of the Terracotta Army, it is truly amazing to witness how amazing and advanced China was, hundred and hundred years ago. It is wonderful to see the reemergence of China, where it is now at the cutting edge of technology and science, and not alone on earth but also in space. It was wonderful to see the launch of their new space station, where they successfully put a space station in orbit and three Chinese astronauts are now working hard to make that function.

我想此行去中国最大的收获是幸运地和英的家人见了面。被欢迎进入这样一个温暖的家庭社区真的很美妙。当我在大连，英的家乡，四处游览的时候，显而易见，人们生活得很开心。我很惊喜地看到人们在街道旁随意地跳着广场舞、锻炼身体，再次展现了家庭和社区有多么的重要。

I think the best part of my trip to China was to be lucky enough to meet Ying's family. It was truly wonderful to be welcomed into such a warm family community. As we wandered around Da Lian, Ying's home it was obvious how happy people were, it was amazing for me to see people randomly dancing in the street, exercising. Again, reshowing how family and community are so so important.

我衷心祝愿中国和中国人民未来一切顺利，并且希望在新冠疫情过去之后，我们能有机会再次回到中国和家人一起度过更多的时间，谢谢。

I would just like to wish China and Chinese people all the best for the future. And hopefully, when all this coronavirus is over, we will get a chance to come back home again and spend more time there. Thank you very much.
