Bush in China for 1st overseas trip after presidency

Former US president George W. Bush cracked jokes about how he scoops up after his dog on neighborhood walks and then turned to more serious subjects like terrorism and the financial crisis on Saturday during his first overseas trip since leaving office.
美国前总统乔治.布什在卸任后于上周六在中国进行首次海外访问。演讲一开始，布什就拿他在家里遛狗的事情打趣，很快就开始了如恐怖主义，经济危机等严肃话题的讨论。

Although this was his first trip overseas since leaving office, it was his second speech in a foreign country. Last month, Bush spoke in Calgary, Canada.
尽管这是他离职后的首次海外访问，但已经是他在海外的第二次公开演讲了。他上个月在加拿大的卡尔加里做了演讲。

He said the economic center of the world was shifting to Asia, which accounts for 55 percent of the global economy. China will continue to be of high importance to the US.
布什提到现在世界的经济发展中心已经逐渐转到占据全球经济总量55%的亚洲。中国对于美国来讲，会变得越来越重要。
