Space is a dangerous place, not only because of meteors(流星), but also because of rays from the sun and other stars. The atmosphere again acts as our protective blanket on the earth. Light gets through, and this is necessary for plants to make the food which we eat. Heat, too, makes our environment suitable to live. Various kinds of rays come through the air from outer space, but enormous quantities of radiation from the sun are screened off. As soon as men leave the atmosphere they are exposed to this radiation but their spacesuits or the walls of their spacecraft, if they are inside, do prevent a lot of radiation damage.

Radiation is the greatest known danger to explorers in space. The unit of radiation is called “rem”. Scientists have reason to think that a man can put up with far more radiation than 0.1 rem without being damaged; the figure of 60 rems has been agreed on. The trouble is that it is extremely difficult to be sure about radiation damage a person may feel perfectly well, but the cells of his or her sex organs may be damaged, and this will not be discovered until the birth of deformed(畸形的)children or even grandchildren. Missions of the Apollo flights have had to cross belts of high radiation and, during the outward and return journeys, the Apollo crew accumulated a large amount of rems. So far, no dangerous amounts of radiation have been reported, but the Apollo missions have been quite short. We simply do not know yet how men are going to get on when they spend weeks and months outside the protection of the atmosphere, working in a space laboratory. Drugs might help to decrease the damage done by radiation, but no really effective ones have been found so far.

Your Excellency, Ladies and Gentlemen,

I take great pleasure in formally welcoming you and Madam Liu to Buckingham Palace on the occasion of your State Visit to the United Kingdom．You are certainly no stranger to the United Kingdom．This will be your second visit this year, and I also met Your Excellency when you visited as Vice-President in 2001．

It is now almost twenty years since I visited China．Since then China's development has caught the world's attention and admiration．It matters to all of us what kind of country China's people will build, what role they will play in the world of 'the twenty-first century, and how this will be sensed by others．

China's growth brings with it difficult challenges for you and your government, but also great opportunities．During her visit in September, The Princess Royal saw both the flagship cities of Beijing and Shanghai and the efforts of government and non-governmental organizations to reduce poverty in rural areas of Anhui and Gansu．I am delighted that China was able to join discussions earlier this year on poverty relief in Africa, sharing with the global community your own remarkable experience in this area．

In those twenty years, the world has changed too．When I visited China in 1986, we had no knowledge that the Cold War was so close to its end and we knew little then of the significance of global warming．Now we are able to work together and in the international community to solve problems of environmental protection and sustainable (可持續(xù)的) development．．．

     May I now ask all our guests to raise their glasses and drink a toast:

To His Excellency the President of the people's Republic of China and Madam Liu and the Chinese people．
