　　李克强总理访英第二日，中英成功签署多个商业协议。众多因素促成了此次访问成果，其中总理流利的英文对答无疑至关重要。

　　"Your English is good," said British Prime Minister David Cameron inside the British Foreign and Commonwealth⁴ Office in London, delivering the compliment in front of media.

　　在英国外交和联邦事务部举行的记者招待会上，英国首相卡梅伦对李克强的流利英文大加称赞：“你的英文很好。”

　　During hours of in-depth conversations with Cameron, Li has been consistently promoting China in English.

　　在与卡梅伦长达数时的深入谈话中，李克强坚持用英文宣传中国。

　　At a leisurely⁵ tea time during which the premier and his wife sat with their British counterparts in the Camerons' garden, the leaders chatted with each other mostly on their own, relegating⁶ their interpreter to note-taking, according to Huang Jingwen, a photographer from Xinhua News Agency who was at the scene.

　　17日下午，李克强总理夫妇和卡梅伦首相夫妇在首相府花园中共进下午茶。据在场的新华社摄影师黄静文透漏，两国总理大多时候直接交流，同行译员只负责笔录工作。

　　When he was in college, Li helped with the translation into Chinese of The Due Process of Law, a book by English jurist Lord Denning⁷. He then married Cheng Hong, a professor of English language and literature.

　　大学期间，李克强曾协助翻译英国著名法官丹宁勋爵的名著《法律的正当程序》。而总理的夫人程虹则是一名英语语言和文学教授。

　　Li's English may not be perfect: he pronounces words with a slight accent and is still making progress in grammar. Traces of his native Anhui province show up at times when he speaks in both English and Mandarin⁸.

　　李克强的英语也许并不完美：他的英文发音有轻微的口音，语法也有待提升。在中文和英文发言时，都会带有安徽口音。

　　But his boldness in using English is impressive. It's a skill that can be put to good use by China's leaders on a global platform.

　　但是他在访外时大胆用英文交流，令人敬佩。这说明，中国领导人可以在国际平台上很好地施展英文交流技能。
