57.We even double checked.
我们甚至还专门确认了一下。
58.And at the same time, we got invited to exhibit at the Shanghai Creative Industry Week.

但是我们发现在人民共和国 公立学校的课程里， 他们有三篇安徒生写的童话， 我们叫汉斯.克里斯蒂安.安德森。
87.So that means that all 1.3 billion Chinese have grown up with The Emperor’s New Clothes, The Matchstick Girl, and The Little Mermaid.
这也就是说13亿中国人 都是读皇帝的新装、 卖火柴的小女孩、小美人鱼长大的。
88.It’s almost like a fragment of Danish culture integrated into Chinese culture.

104.We donate 1000 bikes to Shanghai.
我们给上海捐了1000辆自行车。
105.So if you come to the expo, go straight to the Danish pavillion.

111.So we thought that these expos quite often have a lot of state financed propaganda, images, statements, but no real experience.
我们觉得这种展览往往包含了很多 国家资助的宣传， 图片，声明，但是没有真正的体验。
112.So just like with a bike, we don’t talk about it.
就像是有一辆单车，我们不是去谈论它，
113.You can try it.
因为你可以试骑。
114.Like with the water, instead of talking about it we’re going to sail a million liters of harbor water from Copenhagen to Shanghai.

116.This is where people normally object that it doesn’t sound very sustainable to sail water from Copenhagen to China.

132.And then the Chinese state said, “Suggest change to Panda.”

135.So for the first time I got invited to speak at the National Parliament.

138.And then from 11 to one they were debating whether or not to send the Mermaid to China.

139.(Laughter) (Applause) But to conclude, if you want to see the Mermaid from May to December next year, don’t come to Copenhagen.
（笑声） （掌声） 总之结论就是，如果你想在明年五月到十二月之间看到美人鱼， 别到哥本哈根来，
140.Because she’s going to be in Shanghai.
因为她要去上海。
141.If you do come to Copenhagen you will probably see an installation by Ai Weiwei, the Chinese artist.
如果你确实来到哥本哈根， 你可能看到那个中国艺术家艾未未的装置艺术，
142.But if the Chinese government intervenes it might even be a panda.
