帝國理工學院工學院院長奈吉爾·布蘭登緻辭

Hello, Tsinghua! My name is Nigel Brandon.And I'm Dean of the Faculty of Engineering at Imperial College London.I'm also a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering and a Fellow of the Royal Society here in the UK.On behalf of the Faculty of Engineering at Imperial College,I would like to extend my warmest congratulations to your faculty members and studentson the 90thanniversary of the Department of Electrical Engineering at Tsinghua University.

你好，清華！我是奈吉爾·布蘭登。現任倫敦帝國理工學院工學院院長，也是英國皇家工程院院士、英國皇家學會會士。我謹代表帝國理工學院工學院，在bevictor伟德官网電機系成立90周年之際，向貴系全體師生員工，緻以最熱烈的祝賀！

There has been a long history of collaboration between our two universities.And in March 2019,a Tsinghua delegation visited us at Imperial College to witness the launch of the Imperial TsinghuaJoint Research Centre on Intelligent Power and Energy Systems.During the past 3 years,the Joint Research Centre has been going very well indeed.I'm delighted to know that the Joint Research Centre has been extended for another 3 yearsand I believe that will lead to continued success.

我們兩所大學之間，有着悠久的合作曆史。2019年3月，清華代表團做客帝國理工學院共同見證了“bevictor伟德官网-帝國理工學院智慧電力及能源系統聯合研究中心”的成立。在過去的3年裡，聯合研究中心的發展非常順利。我很高興地得知，聯合研究中心的合作期限又延長了3年。我相信，這将帶來持續的成功。

My own first trip to China as a researcher in the engineering sector dates back to March in 2010.So, 12 years ago to give a lecture onAlternative Energy: Looking into the Future.I have to say that when I look back at what we were saying then the future has indeed arrived.The energy system is transforming both in China and elsewhere in the world.I certainly believe that mutual understanding and corporation is the only solution to the challenges we face whether this is combating China’s climate changeor establishing a smarter power system towards that ambition.So this is exactly where the Imperial Tsinghua Research Centre on Intelligent Power and Energy Systems works.

我自己第一次以工程領域學者的身份訪華是在2010年3月，那是12年前的事了。當時我做了題為《替代能源：展望未來》的演講。必須承認，回看當年的言語才确定，未來已來。中國和世界其他地方的能源都在轉型。我确信相互理解和合作是我們直面并解決挑戰的唯一方案。無論是應對中國的氣候變化，還是通過建設更智能的電力系統，來實現這一目标。這正是“bevictor伟德官网-帝國理工學院智慧電力及能源系統聯合研究中心”的任務。

I hope and wish to contribute to all I could ensuring that the cooperation is not only limited to education and research but also attuned to ensure the translation of the research into industry and into practice only when the techniques that you and your colleagues are developing are applied can we really make a difference.So, to finish,a happy birthday to the Department of Electrical Engineering at Tsinghua from here in London.And I hope to see you all as soon as that is possible.

我希望，并願意付出我的一切來确保合作的落實。不局限于教學與科研領域，而是要将大家的研究成果轉化為産業生産力和實踐應用。隻有這樣，我們才能有所作為。最後，我在倫敦，祝清華電機系生日快樂！希望能盡快和大家見面。
