The World Exposition is not the same as a trade fair ，　in which mainly　governments and international organizations participate. The World Exposition， on　the other hand， displays the achievements and prospects in the economic， cultural　and technological sectors， and is an event where people from all over the world　come together to exchange experience and ideas， and learn from one another. Long　known as the “economic， technological and cultural Olympic Games”， the World　Exposition is held every five years， and has been held in developed countries since it　first took place in London in 1851.

　　If Shanghai wins the bid for the 2010 World Exposition， China will be-the first　developing country to host this major event. Hosting the exposition will have a　positive impact on China， as China will not only learn from the experiences of other　countries to further its reform and opening-up endeavor， but will also enhance its　friendly relations with other countries. Besides， its role as hosting country will no　　doubt accelerate the development of world expositions elsewhere ，　which can　promote worldwide economic， cultural and technological development.

　　世博會(huì)不同于貿(mào)易展覽會(huì)，貿(mào)易展覽會(huì)主要是由政府和國(guó)際組織參加的。相反，世博會(huì)展示經(jīng)濟(jì)、文化和技術(shù)領(lǐng)域的成就和前景，它是全世界人民聚在一起交流經(jīng)驗(yàn)、交換看法、互相學(xué)習(xí)的一件大事。世博會(huì)長(zhǎng)期以來(lái)一直被譽(yù)為“經(jīng)濟(jì)、技術(shù)和文化的奧運(yùn)會(huì)”，它每隔五年舉行一次，自從 1851 年首次在倫敦舉行以來(lái)一直在發(fā)達(dá)國(guó)家舉行。

　　如果上海申辦 2010 年世博會(huì)成功的話，中國(guó)將是主辦這一盛事的第一個(gè)發(fā)展中國(guó)家。主辦這次博覽會(huì)將對(duì)中國(guó)產(chǎn)生積極的影響，因?yàn)橹袊?guó)不僅將學(xué)習(xí)別國(guó)的經(jīng)驗(yàn)來(lái)推進(jìn)改革開(kāi)放，而且將增進(jìn)與別國(guó)的友誼。此外，發(fā)揮主辦國(guó)的作用無(wú)疑會(huì)加速其他地方世博會(huì)的發(fā)展，這能促進(jìn)全世界范圍內(nèi)經(jīng)濟(jì)、文化和技術(shù)的發(fā)展。
