2009年5月24日万法通之夜（北京）
创始人胡清平先生致辞
Mr. Wang Hengtao, and all of your distinguished guests this evening, on behalf of all Lawspirit colleagues, I wish to thank you for your attendance tonight and for your support in the past eight years since 2001. I particularly want to pay tribute, not only to those who prepared the dinner, but also to Mr. Wang Yu and He Ningyuan who provided the splendid music.
尊敬的王恒涛先生，各位尊敬的来宾，晚上好！在此，我谨代表万法通的全体同仁，感谢各位出席今晚的活动，感谢各位自2001年以来给与我们的一贯支持。在此，我还要特别感谢为我们准备精致晚餐的意大利广场高级厨师团队，以及为我们带来如此美妙音乐的王宇及何宁源先生。
In the spirit of frankness which I hope will characterize Lawspirit in coming years as it did in the past, let us recognize these points: We are isolated in restless world like this in some sense. We have difference in majors or fields, but we do have commonness. We all pursue better life and try our best to make our profession more helpful to others. We cannot close the gulf between us. We can try to bridge it so that we may be able to talk across it. That’s why my high-school classmate, executive General Manager of Lawspirit since January 2009, Mr. Roy Du, created this party tonight.
秉着真诚和坦率的万法通精神，我想和大家分享以下几点看法。在当今这个躁动不安的世界里，我们多少会有一种孤立感。我们的专业不同，从事的领域各异，但是我们也有相同之处——我们都在追求更美好的生活，利用我们的专业，更好地帮助别人。尽管我们不能弥合彼此间的鸿沟，但至少我们可以架起一座桥梁，相互沟通。正是基于这一原因，我的高中同学，自2009年1月起担任万法通总经理的杜卫军先生精心策划了此次晚会。
Chairman Mao has written, “so many deeds cry out to be done, and always urgently; the world rolls on, time presses. Ten thousand years are too long, seize the day, seize the hour!” This is the hour. This is the day for us Law professionals to rise to the height of greatness which can build a better world. In that spirit, I ask all of you to join me in raising your glasses to the friendship of the law professionals and those who provide support service which can lead to better life for all people around us.
毛主席曾经说过：“多少事，从来急。天地转，光阴迫。一万年太久，只争朝夕。”今时今日便是我们所有法律专业人士应该争取的朝夕。让我们共同努力，创造辉煌，创造一个更美好的世界。本着这种精神，我想请大家和我一同举杯，为法律人士与为其提供相关支持服务人士之友谊而干杯！为更加美好的生活干杯！
