soft power is defined as the ability to attract, to persuade, the ability for culture to tell compelling story and influence others to fall in love with it. i like that definition, but i want to put in collegiate terms for all you students in the audience. the way i see it: east and west are kind of like freshman roommates. how is this soft power exchange between these two roommates? are the songs in english have become hits in china, for sure. how about movies? well, there are so many that china has had to limit the number of hollywood movies imported in the country so that local films can even have a chance at success. what about the flipside of that: the chinese songs that hit in the west, no. and movies, well, there was crouching tiger that was thirteen years ago. well, i think there's a bit of imbalance here. and i think it’s a soft power deficit, let's call that. when we look in this direction let’s just say the west influences the east more than vice versa.
esteemed 尊敬的。两个without是补充说明，大伙儿可以学着用用，不会的举手。

ambassador不一定是正式的外交官，校园大使也可以是ambassador。frankly, openly and honestly碉堡了。听话别听半句，how we’ve done a good job后面还有 how we’ve done a bad job。
软实力，soft power，大家可以记住这个概念用英文怎么表达。是一种ability。

i never thought i would be addressing you, the esteemed members of the oxford union, without guitar or erhu, without my crazy stage hair, costumes. but i did perform at the o2 arena in london last week. i am not sure any of you would make that. but in many ways, that would be similar to what i am talking about today, that is, introducing chinese pop music to you.

i am actually an ambassador for chinese pop, whether i like it or not, both music and movies. i wanna frankly, openly and honestly talk about how we've done a good job, or how we’ve done a bad job of bringing chinese pop to the west. and i also wanna impress upon all of you here today the importance of that soft power exchange and how each of us is involved in that exchange.
