I firmly believe improved U.S.-China cooperation is critically important, not just for our own two countries but for the world community. As a child of Chinese immigrants growing up in the State of Washington, having the opportunity to represent America, the land of my birth, and to represent American values was surely beyond any dream I could possibly have. And I can only imagine just how proud my dad, Jimmy, who passed away in January, would be for his son to be the first Chinese American to represent the United States in the land of his and my mother’s birth. It may be cliché to say only in America, but in this case and for this role, it is both profoundly true and profoundly important. It is America and America’s promise as a land of freedom, equality, and opportunity that I will represent when serving the President and the American people as the United States ambassador to China.
我深信,改善美中合作不仅对我们两国而且对国际社会至关重要。作为在华盛顿州长大的中国移民的孩子,有机会代表我的出生地美国和美国的价值观,这无疑超越了我的任何梦想。我的父亲吉米在今年一月份去世,但我可以想象,他如果看到儿子作为第一位美籍华人在他和我母亲的出生地代表美国,会感到多么自豪。要说这种事情只能发生在美国可能是老生常谈,但是,就这件事情和这个职务而言,这一说法千真万确,而且意义重大。当我作为美国驻中国大使为总统和美国人民效力时,我代表的将是美国及其作为自由、平等和充满机会的国度的许诺。
