It's the photo that became an Internet sensation in China: 就是這張照片在中國成了網路熱門話題：
a typical American traveler buying a Starbuck's coffee at the Seattle airport. 一位典型的美國旅客，在西雅圖機場購買一杯星巴克咖啡。
But this is Gary Locke, the new U.S. Ambassador to China, on his way to present his credentials in Beijing. 但這位旅客是駱家輝，也就是美國新任駐中國大使，正在前往北京呈遞國書的旅途中。
For a Chinese public not used to such easy access to officialdom, 對於不習於能如此輕易接觸到官員的中國民眾而言，
it was a unique insight into the low-key approach of the new U.S. envoy. 這很稀罕地讓他們見識到這位美國新任外交使節的低調作風。
When the photo was posted by a fellow traveler on Chinese microblogging site Sina Weibo, it was reposted more than 40,000 times in two days. 一名同路的旅客將這張照片張貼於中國的微網誌新浪微博之後，兩天內就被轉貼了四萬次以上。
But Gary Locke's laid-back approach to officialdom was not all that caught the interest of the Chinese public. 不過，引起中國民眾關注的不只是駱家輝這種悠閒自在的為官風格。
The former U.S. Commerce Secretary is also the first Chinese-American to take the job. 這位前美國商務部長也是首位擔任此職位的華裔美國人。
I'm deeply humbled and honored to be chosen as your next ambassador to China. 獲選為下一任駐中國大使，我深覺愧不敢當，同時也深感榮幸。
Mr. Ambassador, welcome to Talk Asia. 大使先生，歡迎來到《亞洲名人聊天室》。
Well, it's my pleasure to be on your show. 我非常榮幸能夠來上貴節目。
Now, 100 years ago, your grandfather left China on a steamboat to go to the United States and he worked as a domestic servant there. 一百年前，你的祖父搭乘汽船離開中國前往美國，然後在美國從事家傭的工作。
One century on, you have returned to China as America's top diplomat. Have you reflected on this achievement? 一個世紀之後，你卻是以美國高階外交官的身分回到中國。你有思索過這項成就嗎？
Well, actually, all through the years, I've been able to reflect on it, and it's really hard to believe. 實際上，這麼多年來，我經常想到這一點，而且這實在難以置信。
I mean, my grandfather worked as a houseboy for a family in the state capital washing dishes, sweeping floors in exchange for English lessons. 我是說，我的祖父在州首府的一個家庭擔任家僕，從事洗碗、掃地的工作以換取英語課。
He went back to China, had a family, where my father was born along with aunts and uncles. 他回到中國，成立家庭，我的父親和姑姑、叔伯就是在中國出生的。
Grandfather came back to the United States to support the family, eventually, went back to China, brought the whole family over. 我祖父回到美國工作養家，後來終於回中國把全家人都帶到了美國。
And a hundred years later, actually, I was sworn in as the governor of the state of Washington, literally one mile from the house where my grandfather worked. 而就在一百年後，我宣誓就職華盛頓州的州長，距離我祖父工作的那棟房子真的就一英里。
And we kind of joked, and I kind of threw out a line at the inaugural speech, that it took our family 100 years to travel one mile. 我們有點開玩笑地講，而且我在就職演說中也說了一句，說我們家族花了一百年走一英里。
And then, of course, I became commerce secretary, and my dad was so proud to be there at the swearing-in ceremony, presided over by President Obama. 當然，後來我當上商務部長，我爸爸對於能夠參加歐巴馬總統主持的宣誓典禮深感驕傲。
But I think he would have been more proud to know that his son was returning to the ancestral homeland, 但我想，如果他知道他的兒子將回到祖宗故土，
where he was born and where our ancestors were born, representing the United States as the U.S. Ambassador to China. 回到他和我們的祖先出生的地方，代表美國擔任駐中國的大使，應該會更感驕傲。
What are your top priorities? 你最優先的工作是什麼？
Well, we have a lot. Obviously, because of the tough economy in the United States, job creation is number one. 我們有很多。明顯可見，由於美國的經濟情勢相當困難，因此創造就業機會排名第一。
And, of course, we care about things like intellectual property rights, 當然，我們也關注智慧財產權這類問題，
making sure that the hard-won gains, innovations, of Americans are not ripped off without proper compensation. 確認美國人民辛苦得來的成果與創新發明不會在沒有適當補償的情況下遭到剽竊。
We also care about human rights, making sure that American values of freedom -- universal human rights, 我們也關心人權，確保美國的自由觀——這是普世人權，
which even China has written into their constitution and has signed on to -- are observed here. 連中國也列入憲法當中而且曾加入簽署——在此地能夠被奉行。
And, of course, we want to promote people-to-people exchanges so that China and the United States can really join together, not just to solve the problems of China or the United States, 當然，我們也要倡導民間交流，好讓中國與美國能夠真正合作，不只為了解決中國或美國的問題，
but, indeed, some of the big problems facing the entire world, from climate change to famine to even terrorism. 而真的是要解決全世界共同面臨的若干重大問題，從氣候變遷到飢荒，甚至於恐怖主義。
Now, in September, you gave a speech to the American Chamber of Commerce here in Beijing. 你九月曾在北京的美國商會發表一場演說，
And in it, you criticized China's pace of market reforms in lifting restrictions on foreign investment. 其中批評了中國在解除外國投資限制這方面的市場改革步調。
And that generated some pretty harsh reaction[s] from people inside China. 那引起了中國境內人民一些頗激烈的反應。
Some Chinese nationals called you a traitor to your own race. Were you prepared for that kind of thinking? 有些中國國民說你是自己的民族的叛徒。你對於這樣的想法有心理準備嗎？
I knew that people would have certain expectations of me, certainly within China. 我知道有些人對我會有特定的期待，在中國境內必若是。
I was reading some of the Internet chatter about their perceptions of me and saying, you know, some of the comments were, "If he's really Chinese, why does he live in America?" 我看了一些網路討論中他們對我的看法，有些評論說：「他如果真的是中國人，為什麼住在美國？」
And... or "Maybe he's just a banana -- yellow on the outside, but white on the inside." 還有……或是說：「也許他只是個香蕉——外黃內白。」
And, again, I'm so proud of my Chinese ancestry, 我要再次強調，我對自己的中國血統深感自豪，
but I was born and raised in America, and I really believe in American values, our American system, our freedom, our liberties. 但我在美國出生、成長，也真心信奉美國的價值觀、美國的體制、自由與自由權。
