你们是了不起的民族!美国老太归还两件中国文物,入藏上海博物馆,她的视频讲话让人动容→
Today is a very important day because it marks the return of two figures that were lost for over 100 years.
It is my honor and pleasure to return these works of art to you, The Peoples Republic of China. I celebrate your beautiful culture and artistic accomplishments.
In their absence from China these 2 figures have witnessed two world wars, numerous epidemics, floods and famines. If they could talk, I know that they would tell the world many things.
Be kind to each other.
Respect each other.
Help each other.
It is not through money or politics that these figures have come home to you. They were returned through the power of love and respect for you the Chinese people.
I see the hard work and sacrifices you make. I admire your music, gymnastics,sculpture, painting, cooking, dance, and knowledge of medical herbs and fungi.
You are an amazing people!
Please join me now in welcoming home the lost figures of the Shanghai Museum.

今天意义重大,因为它标志着两件陶俑在100多年之后失而复归。
我非常荣幸将这两件陶俑归还给你们——中国的人民。我敬佩你们美丽的文化和艺术成就。
两件俑阔别中国土地的这100年间,它们见证了两次世界大战,数不清的疫情、洪水和饥荒。如果它们能够说话,我知道它们想告诉这个世界很多事情。
与人友善
彼此尊重
彼此帮助
它们回归故里,不是因为金钱或政治;是因为爱的力量以及对中国人民的尊重。
我看到了中国人民的努力奋进和所作的牺牲。我喜欢你们的音乐、体操、雕塑、绘画、美食、舞蹈,以及关于中药草和灵芝的知识。
你们是了不起的民族!
请和我一起欢迎这两件陶俑回到上海博物馆。
