实用体育英语：开幕词

Respected Mr. President,
Ladies and gentlemen,

    On the occasion of the opening of the 2004 Beijing International Tennis Tournament, I would like, on behalf of the Chinese Tennis Association, to extend a warm welcome to all the players and distinguished guests present at the event.

    It is the third time that Beijing has hosted the international tennis tournament in the fine spring days of May. This tournament provides a good opportunity for the players to learn from each other, exchange their experience and enhance the friendship, making positive contributions to the development of the tennis sport.

    I am confident that by the concerted efforts of all participants, this tournament will continue regularly as an international event of far-reaching significance.

    I believe that the players will brave the hardship in thecompetition, perform well and display fine sportsmanship.

    Finally, I'd like to wish the tournament a great success.

尊敬的主席先生、女士们、先生们:

    值此2004年北京国际网球赛开幕之际，我谨代表中国网球协会向参赛的运动员以及贵宾表示热烈的欢迎。

    阳春五月在北京举行国际网球赛已是第三次了。它为选手们互相学习、交流经验、加深友谊提供了大好机会，并为推动网球运动的发展做出了积极的贡献。我相信在大家的共同努力下，它将成为意义深远的传统性国际比赛。

    祝运动员在比赛中勇于拼搏、赛出水平、赛出风格!

    最后，预祝本届比赛取得圆满的成功!
