There’s a famous American movie called Field of Dreams. And in it, the hero, played by Kevin Costner, builds a baseball field at his remote farm. A lot of people tell him what he’s doing doesn’t make any sense, they think it’s a big risk, but he loves baseball, and he has faith that he can build something that will be meaningful. And during his project which so many people criticize, he keeps hearing “If you build it, they will come.”

有一部著名的美国电影叫《梦想之地》,凯文•科斯特纳扮演的男主人公在他家偏远的农场建了一个棒球场,许多人告诉他这么做没有任何意义,认为只有风险,但他热爱棒球,富于让事情变得有意义的信念,在众多质疑的声音中,他一直清晰地听见——“如果你建成它,就会有人来”。

Well, ladies and gentlemen, we believe the same. We are building it, and we believe that when the Expo opens in 166 days, 70 million people will come. And with this rain today, maybe 100 million people, with even greater good fortune, will come. Thank you all very much. Thank you.

女士们,先生们,我们也有着同样的信念。现在还在建设中,但我们相信166天以后将会有7000万人参观上海世博会,借着今天下雨的好兆头,也许会增加到1亿人来参观世博会,带来更大的好运。非常感谢各位,谢谢!
