问题    I am delighted to once again be standing before you as we celebrate Canada Day. But why do we come together every year on this day? What are we really celebrating on July 1st?
   First, we are celebrating the bonds of solidarity and friendship that helped create this country. Those bonds are embedded in our hearts. Because here in Canada, we help people when they are suffering. In Canada, our differences enrich us as a people.   In Canada, what is good for one person is good for everyone. And these bonds of solidarity and friendship grow stronger every day because we live in an ideal of justice and freedom that is the envy of the entire world.
   I was born in a country that was under a merciless dictatorship, so like many Canadians who have come here from abroad, I know how precious that freedom really is. We cannot overstate how lucky we are to be able to think, speak, choose, act and live in complete freedom: not when barbarism and misery affect so many countries and people around the world.
   On this July 1st, let us reflect on the message of hope that we, as Canadians, bring to the world. Let us also remember the commitment of our soldiers and the difficult missions they are leading in elsewhere. Let us remember their families and loved ones. I would like to tell you about a strong conviction that I developed at a very young age, when my family and I had to start our lives all over again, away from the terror. I have based my very existence on this conviction. It guides all my decisions, all my choices, and I would like to share it with you for the remainder of my mandate as governor general of Canada.
   I am one of those people who believe that anything is possible in this world. And here in Canada, we have the greatest opportunities to reach our full potential and achieve our loftiest dreams.
   This year we are celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Order of Canada. The women and men who have received our country’s highest honor were never hesitant to test the limits, both their own and those of the world around them. They achieved remarkable things because they believed in their ability to reinvent life, help society move forward, and change the course of history. They represent the very best of us.
   I would like to take the opportunity, on this Canada Day, to issue a challenge to all the young people here and everywhere across the country. You have the ability to look at the world with fresh eyes. Do not set yourselves any limits. Dream big. Be daring. Act. On this July 1st, let us celebrate all these dreams, all these everyday actions, all these projects and all these achievements. Let us strengthen the bonds of solidarity that make Canada the generous country we love.
选项
答案     我很高兴又一次站在这里，与大家一同欢度加拿大国庆日。但是，为什么每年的今日我们都相聚一起?我们究竟在7月1日庆祝什么呢?
    首先，让我们欢庆团结和友谊的种种纽带，这些团结和友谊促成了国家的诞生，铭刻在人民的心底。在加拿大，我们帮助那些正在受苦的人们；在加拿大，彼此的差异使得民族丰富多彩；在加拿大，对个人有益的事情就是对大众有益的事情。我们生活在一个让全世界都羡慕的公正和自由的理想国度，正因为此，这些团结和友谊正在日益增强。
    我出生在一个残酷专制的国家，所以，和很多从国外来到这里的加拿大人一样，我知道自由是多么的可贵。当世界上很多的国家及其人民还生活在野蛮和苦难之中，我们已经无比幸运地拥有思考、言论、选择、行动和生活的完全自由。
    在7月1日这个日子里，让我们思考作为加拿大人，我们如何为世界带来希望。让我们同样记住战士们的奉献以及他们正在其他地区领导行使的艰苦使命。让我们记住他们的家人和亲人。
    我想告诉你们，在我很小的时候，当我和家人被迫远离那片令人恐惧的国土，开始新的生活时，我开始持有一种强大的信念。这种信念奠定了我的生活，它指引着我做出所有的决定和选择。我希望能在任职加拿大总督期间与你们一起分享这一信念。
    和很多人一样，我相信世界上万事皆有可能。在加拿大，我们拥有最好的机会去充分发挥自我潜能、实现最崇高的理想。
    今年我们庆祝加拿大勋章颁布40周年。那些获得国家最高荣誉的人们在面对来自自我和外界的挑战时从不犹豫退缩。他们取得了卓越的成就，因为他们相信他们有能力重新创造生活、推动社会进步、改变历史进程。他们是我们的精英力量。
    在加拿大国庆日上，我想借此机会，向在座的年轻人以及全国各地的年轻人发出一项挑战。你们有能力用崭新的眼光看世界。不要给自己设置任何的限制。愿你们有远大的理想、足够的胆量并能够付诸行动。在7月1日这个日子里，让我们为理想而欢庆，为所有这些日常的行动而欢庆，为所有的工作和成就而欢庆。让我们更加团结，使加拿大成为我们热爱的泱泱大国。
