2012年

守职而不废处义而不回。

I will not waver and carry out my duties,and will remain true to my conviction.

入则恳恳以尽忠，出则谦谦以自悔。

Goes officials should seve as loyal as they can conscientiously when they are in office and engage in modest self-reflection when their terms end.

知我罪我，其惟春秋。

There are people who will appreciate what I have done but there are also people who will criticize me,ultimately,history will have the final say.

苟利国家生死以，岂因祸福避趋之。

In line with the conviction that I will do whatever it takes to serve my country even at the cost of my own life,regardless of fortune or misfortune to myself.

2011年

骨肉之亲，析而不殊。

Brothers, though geographically apart will always be bound by their blood ties.

如将不尽，与古为新。

It is only with reform that we can ensure continuous existence and growth.

2010年

行百里者半九十。

That is half of the people who have embarked on a one hundred mile journey may fall by the wayside.

亦余心之所向兮，虽九死其犹未悔。

For the ideal that I hold dear to my heart, I will not regret a thousand depth to die.

人或加讪，心无疵兮。

My conscience stays untainted inspite of rumors and slanders from the outside.

点评

守职而不废处义而不回

not…and…的否定式中被否定的往往是and后面的那一部分。译为unwaveringly carry out更为准确。

骨肉之亲，析而不殊

好！blood ties既传达了“骨肉至亲”的含义，又多了一层“血脉相连”之意，用以表达大陆和台湾人民的情谊很恰当。

如将不尽，与古为新

这句话出自司空图的《二十四诗品》，强调创新的可能性和重要性。由于总理此处谈得主要是“改革”，译者在这里灵活将古诗的核心含义处理为“reform(改革)”，非常到位。

行百里者半九十。

这里译者理解不够准确。原文是说“百里之行的人，走到九十里，只算走了一半。”是表示起步容易，坚持到最后却难，而并非“半途而废”的意思。

呵呵，就这些古文，能把中文意思理解清楚就不容易了，现场翻译成英文真的要很高的水平。
现在明白为什么有些英语专业研究生的翻译考题是那么“文绉绉的”了。

翻译是一门高深而痛苦的学问。

一个总理整天卖弄这些华丽花哨的空洞辞藻，真有点装13.

翻译那样翻译，不拗口吗？精彩个鬼。
