The G20 Leaders Summit in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province, next month is attracting more students to learn English, according to a volunteer teacher in the city.
据浙江省杭州市的志愿教师介绍,下个月在杭州举行的G20峰会吸引了更多学生学习英语。
Timothy Clancy, 31, an Australian who has lived in Hangzhou since 2011 with his wife, who is from Zhejiang, said, "Australia has hosted such a summit before, but I never imagined that people in the host city could be so hospitable. I want to be part of this great event through the English classes and express my own welcome."
31岁的Timothy Clancy来自澳大利亚,妻子是浙江人,从2011年起两人开始在杭州定居。他表示:"澳大利亚之前也曾举办过20国峰会,但是从来没有那个城市的市民像杭州这么热情好客。我想通过教英语参与到这个活动中来,同时也表达我自己对峰会的欢迎。"
Zhao Jihong, 67, one of the senior students in Clancy's class, said, "I am learning English here just in case I come across foreigners so that I can at least say 'hi' to welcome them to Hangzhou."
67岁的赵继红是Clancy班上的一名大龄学生,她说:"我学英语就是想有一天万一我在路上碰上了外国人,我可以跟对方打招呼,告诉他们杭州欢迎他们。"
Zhao Yide, the Hangzhou Party chief, said, "Thanks to the consistent efforts made by the people of Hangzhou, preparatory work for the G20 Summit has been a success. All services, including dining, transportation and security are in place. Hangzhou is now ready to host the two-day summit and welcome its distinguished guests."
杭州市委书记赵一德对此表示:"感谢杭州人民为峰会作出的不懈努力,G20筹备工作已经准备就绪。包括餐饮,交通,安保在内的所有服务都已经安排妥当。杭州已经做好了迎接G20峰会的准备,准备好欢迎我们的客人。"
Non-G20 member countries such as Laos, Chad, Kazakhstan, Senegal and Egypt have confirmed that they will take part in the summit, according to the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Zhao said the participants will have the chance to taste Hangzhou cuisine. A 7,450-square-meter warehouse is being used to store up to 900 tons of food, and all the food and ingredients will be bought, examined, monitored, maintained and delivered through this huge building.

杭州市长张鸿铭表示:"为了确保峰会的顺利举行,之前历届峰会举办国都在安保上投入了巨大精力,出动了大量的军队和警力。杭州可以很自信的说,此次峰会的不会有安全隐患,而且市民乐意为安保出一份力。"
