观赏完这部纪录片，我相信各位会得出和我一样的结论：“善良的天使”仍然存在。无论晴雨，他们总在那里。平凡而伟大的两国人民各尽其力，展现出友善、智慧和宽容，为中美关系的发展铺平道路。两国关系一帆风顺时，他们为其注入更大动力；而中美关系处于低潮时，他们坚定维系两国友谊，推动两国关系重回正轨。
因此，我们没有理由不保持乐观和信心。我坚信，纪录片以及两国人民中“善良的天使”将一直指引中美关系走向更好的未来，造福两国人民和国际社会。
I believe that you will arrive at the same conclusion as I did after seeing this documentary: the better angels are still there. They are always there, rain or shine. The ordinary and great people of China and the US are there, doing their part, showing their goodwill, wisdom and magnanimity, and paving the path forward for our relations. When our relations are smooth sailing, they will be there injecting greater driving forces; and when our relations are at a low ebb, it is also our people who will firmly support the bonds of friendship and turn the tide of China-US relations.
Therefore, there is no reason why we should not stay optimistic and confident. I am convinced that the better angels in the documentary and among our two peoples will always come to guide us to a better path of the China-US relationship and move it forward for the benefit of our peoples and of the entire international community.
中国古代哲学家孟子说，“人性之善也，犹水之就下也。人无有不善，水无有不下。”我们要相信，人性是向善的。同时他也指出，“人之可使为不善，其性亦犹是也”。如果本性被扭曲，人们就会被迫去做不好的事情。
因此，我们当前的任务是确保人性中“善良的天使”总是能够战胜阴暗面，使两国人民为了人类的福祉携手共建牢固、持久的友谊。我希望并相信，今晚的纪录片将为我们的共同努力提供很好的启示。
谢谢大家!
The ancient Chinese philosopher Mencius said that the tendency of man's nature to good is like the tendency of water to flow downwards and that there are none but have this tendency to good, just as all water flows downwards. He also pointed out, however, that men could be made to do what is not good if force is applied to distort their nature.
Therefore, the task before us now is to make sure that the better angels of our nature will always prevail over any dark force, so that the Chinese and American peoples will together build a strong and lasting friendship between us for the good of mankind. I hope and believe that the documentary we see tonight will be a good source of inspiration for us in this joint endeavor.
Thank you.
