Speech given by Her Excellency Ambassador Mme Fu Ying at the Farewell Reception
Mandarin Oriental Hotel, LondonJanuary 2010
感谢各位出席今晚的招待会。此时我百感交集。
Thank you for coming this evening-this is a bitter sweet occasion for me.二十世纪20年代时任中国驻英国的公使是顾维钧,是我非常敬仰的一位外交家。当有人问他中国人最残酷的一句话是什么时,他说:天下没有不散的筵席。
In the 1920s, the Chinese envoy to UK was Gu Weijun, a great diplomat whom I highly admire.When he was asked what was the most cruel Chinese saying, he quoted this proverb: ‘However grand the feast, it always has to end’.离任就像是席末杯中的那最后一口酒,甘醇中已经有了些许的苦涩。
Leaving London for me, is like savouring the last sip of wine at the end of this party, still warm with excitement, but already tempered with a little sadness.作为外交官,又是蒙古族人,我是个天生的游牧者,似乎一生都在不断地履新和离别之间徘徊。在布加勒斯特、金边、雅加达、马尼拉和堪培拉,都有过美好的岁月,而每次告别都依依不舍。现在即将离开伦敦和英国,心里更充满了难舍的眷恋。
As a diplomat and someone who is ethnically Mongolian, I am a natural nomad;my maiden name in Mongolia as my father told me, meant on the road.My career took me to many places across the world, Bucharest, Phnom Penh, Jakarta, Manila, Canberra.Leaving was always a difficult thing to do, but leaving here seems even more so.我会怀念在这里结交的许多好朋友,正是在他们的支持和帮助下,我才得以更好地了解英国和英国人民。
I will miss the many friends I have met here and colleagues I worked with in the UK, who have supported me and helped me to understand Britain and its people.三年来,我走过英国许多的城镇和街巷,著名中国作家王蒙曾写道:抵达伦敦如同抵达一
幅早已熟悉的油画。我深有同感。
In the past 3 years, I walked many streets and countryside across Britain.What I felt can best be expressed by a quotation from a famous Chinese writer Wang Meng.He wrote: 'coming to London is like walking into a familiar oil painting'.英国的生活丰富多彩,无论是在如同隔世的剧场里欣赏名剧,还是足球场上狂热的喝彩,抑或是赛马场里激奋的人群,都令人印象深刻,使我感受到英国人对生活的认真和考究。
British life is exciting and diverse.Whether it was watching a play, cheering for a football team, or watching horse racing, it was always enjoyable and exiting.The charm and maturity of the British style has not been lost on me.不少人问我,最留恋英国的是什么?与许多中国人一样,我从小就接触到英国文学,有幸在这里追寻名著作者的足迹,简·奥斯汀临窗撰写《傲慢与偏见》的小圆桌在我的脑海里留下深深的印记;博朗蒂姐妹汲取灵感的荒原引发我无限的遐想;威廉·华兹华斯静谧的湖畔故居让我流连忘返。这都使我触摸到英国的文化精华,也是将中国众多游客源源不断吸引来的文化魅力。
Like many Chinese, British literature was part of my education.Being here has given me the luxury of tracing the roots of some famous names.The little round table under the window where Jane Austen wrote, including Pride and Prejudice, is printed on my memory.The open moor which so inspired Bronte sisters gave me much to think.The quiet lakeside home of William Wordsworth took me hours to walk through.This is quintessentially British, the charm of culture that is a magnet for countless Chinese.在我任内的三年,两国关系稳步发展。**涛主席和温家宝总理分别来到英国,布朗首相也访问过北京。两国的领导人和部长之间还经常性会晤或打电话,次数之多,几乎数不清了。两国地方之间的交流也日趋频繁。
On a more serious note, my 3 years in London have seen stable development of relati** between the two countries.The Chinese President and Premier visited here and PM Brown went to Beijing.In addition, leaders and ministers met and called each other so many times that I almost lost count.There is also increasing visits from all the provinces.(Last year, for example, the delegati** which came through the Embassy were about 400, most of them came to my dinning table.)
3年来,中国在英投资增长了6倍,留学生和游客人数也在以双位数增长。听说,去年中国游客在邦德街的购物金额增长了一倍半多。英国保持了欧盟对华最大投资国和第三大贸易伙伴的地位。去年夏天在北京休假期间,我想挑选一张床垫,最终相中的那款竟然是一个英国 19世纪的品牌。
Chinese investment in the UK grew almost 6-fold.The numbers of Chinese students and tourists are increasing at double digit numbers.I was told that the money spent by Chinese shopping on
Bond street almost doubled.英国保持了欧盟对华最大投资国和第三大贸易伙伴的地位。去年夏天在北京休假期间,我想挑选一张床垫,最终相中的那款竟然是一个英国19世纪的品牌。
Britain maintained its position as the largest EU investor in China and the third largest EU trading partner for China.During my summer holiday in Beijing, I went shopping for a mattress and the one I eventually bought turned out to be a brand name from 19th century Britain.(During my summer holiday in Beijing, I went shopping for a mattress and the one I eventually bought turned out to be a brand name from 19th century Britain.)
“英国设计”这几个字在中国是相当有分量的。英国不仅仅是世界金融中心,我访问过英国中东部和中西部地区,对该地区企业世界领先的创意设计能力印象深刻。这与中国强大的制造能力形成了很强的互补,双方应该加强合作,开发巨大的合作潜力。
The word “British designed” carries strong weight in China.During my visits to the Midlands, company after company have opened my eyes to Britain's role as a leading creative powerhouse in the world, in addition to being a global financial center, which fits nicely with Chinese manufacturing power.Both sides need to work harder to tap this potential.中英伙伴关系的民众基础在不断加强。在英中贸协、四十八家集团俱乐部、筷子俱乐部等众多的工商、教育和民间友好团体的推动下,英国民众对中国产生了浓厚的兴趣,也创造了众多的商机,我们应该继续推动这一良好的势头。记得不久前出席特色学校校长年会的时候了解到,英国特色学校联盟的目标是给所有想学中文的孩子提供中文课程,充分说明两国关系的民众基础是深厚的。
China and British partnership is increasingly underpinned by support amongst our people.Organizati** like CBBC, the 48 group club and many other educational and friendship groups have created a wealth of interest and business opportunities which needs to continue and grow over the coming years.I have also seen the interest in China amongst the British media and public grow in front of my eyes.I was told by the SSAT that their ambition is to provide every child in Britain the chance to study mandarin if they want to.英国民众在2008年地震后对中国的关心和慷慨帮助令我终身难忘。记得当时一个19岁的男孩Issac Lewis从威尔士家乡步行240英里,一路筹款到伦敦来。我对双边关系的前景非常乐观。
And the outpouring of sympathy and support to China after the earthquake in Sichuan in 2008 was without doubt, the most moving experience during my stay.A 19 year old boy named Isaac Lewis walked from his home in Wales all the way to London to collect donati** along the way.Therefore, I am very optimistic about the outlook of our relati**.但是,今天既然是在朋友们中间,我也想说,过去的三年也是我外交生涯最为波澜起伏的一段经历。每当两国不能达到彼此的要求或出现意见不一致时,英方会倾向于评判和指责
Having said all that, since I am with friends, I have to say the past three years have also seen more than their fair share of highs and lows.I found the great temptation is to judge and criticize when we do not meet or agree with each other's preferences.每次遇到问题和困难,我都试图从两国的历史智慧中寻求灵感,与英国同事一道,通过坦诚沟通找到化解分歧的思路,维护双边关系稳定发展的大局。
Each time problems occur, I have tried to draw inspiration from the historical wisdom of our two countries, and worked with my counter part to steer a way through candid dialogue, not losing sight of the larger interests of our two countries.西方需要做出是否接受中国作为平等伙伴的决断,做伙伴就意味着在出现问题的时候,要接触对话,而不是批评说教。英方不能叶公好龙,表面上说欢迎中国崛起,但实际上并不了解中国。如果西方对华接触的目标是改变中国,那西方就永远不会满意,双方在国际合作中也难以同心协力。
The West needs to decide whether it's going to accept China as an equal and take China as it is.To do this it must engage and discuss rather than lecturing when problems occur.There is a story in Chinese called Mr Ye liking the dragon.Mr Ye is a great fan of the dragon.He had the dragon on his clothes, in his home and indeed everything around him.One day the dragon heard of this and decided to pay him a visit.When the dragon suddenly appeared, Mr Ye was so scared that he fainted.This is a story about liking something, but not necessarily really understanding it.If the West's policy objective towards China is to change it in the image of the West, it may never be satisfied.中国正处在改革的进程中,世界上有哪一个大国能像中国这样把改革作为国家的根本政策方向?这正是因为我们认识到自己有许多需要改进之处。但中国的改革将以自己的方式按自己的步伐进行,改革的目标是服务中国人民的利益,而不是为了满足西方的要求。
China is in the middle of reforms.Seldom does one see a major country whose professed objective is to reform itself.This is because we realize that they are still many areas that still leave room for improvement.China will continue to do so at its own pace and in its own way, not because the West wants it, but for the interest of the Chinese people.只有尽快消除成见,更好地了解中国,双方才能认识到彼此的不同和多元化,才能建立以理解和尊重为基础的稳固的双边关系。
The sooner stereotyping of China gets replaced by a wider understanding, the sooner we will be able to recognize our differences and diversity and build a strong relati**hip based on understanding and respect.中国也需要努力学习如何更好地向世界介绍自己,我给同事们留下的建议是:沟通,沟通,We in China also need to learn how to better explain ourselves to the world.My message to my colleagues is always: communicate, communicate and communicate.这对于中英两国尤为重要,因为两国关系已经超出了双边范畴,越来越需要在全球性问题上更紧密地合作。
This is particularly important for China and UK as our relati** are growing beyond the bilateral level and we more and more need to work together on global issues.即将离开英国的时刻,工作上有了一些句号,做成了一些事情,但是也有不少“逗号”,不少工作还没有完成,还有一些“问号”。但是我对中英关系的坚定承诺没有改变,相信在双方共同努力下,中英关系的明天将更加美好。
As I leave this country, I achieved some full stops in my work.There are still quite a few commas and unfinished business.There are even some question marks.But my commitment to the China-Britain partnership remains unchanged and I am confident of a better tomorrow.我希望各位热烈欢迎我的继任刘晓明大使,一如既往地支持他的工作。我也要感谢使馆的同事在过去3年里给我的大力支持,感谢海德饭店为我们今天的酒会提供这样好的场地。
On a personal note I hope that my successor Ambassador Liu Xiaoming receives the great welcome and support I have had and I would like to thank my great embassy team for the support over the last three years.My thanks also go to Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park Hotel, which has provided such a nice setting for tonight's reception.下周一我就要离开伦敦了。临走之前,我会最后一次去公园慢跑,最后一次到牛津街漫步。人还未离开,已经开始想念英国了。
I am flying out next Monday.I will be trying to take my last jog in the park and walk on Oxford Street for the last time.I am already missing Britain.希望我们的友谊长存。
May I wish our friendship last forever.

傅莹大使在驻英使馆国庆60周年招待会上的讲话
为中国喝彩
A Time for Celebration
Speech by Fu Ying, at the National Day Reception for the 60 years Anniversary of PRCSept.24,2009, London
Your Excellencies,Secretaries of State,My Lords,Distinguished guests,Ladies and Gentlemen,值此中华人民共和国成立60周年之际,我们热烈欢迎各位嘉宾的光临,感谢大家与我们一道为中华人民共和国的生日祝福。我特别要感谢布朗首相发来视频讲话,感谢他带给中国人民美好的节日祝愿。
I would like to thank all of you for joining us in this celebration of the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China.I owe a special note of thanks to Prime Minister Brown for sending a video message to congratulate the Chinese people on this auspicious occasion.在中国传统的纪年形式中,60年为一个甲子,也就是一个周期。所以,中国人非常看重60周年的纪念,无论是一个人的年龄,还是一个国家的历程。
years on the Lunar calendar is called “Jia Zi”, meaning a full cycle.It is therefore an important age for a person as well as for a country.60年前,毛泽东向世界宣告中华人民共和国成立,中国人民站起来了。不过当时的中国还处于积贫积弱、百废待兴的状况,而60年后的今天中国已经发生了历史性的巨变。这一成就的取得绝非一帆风顺,中国为探索符合自己国情的发展道路经历了千辛万苦的曲折和艰难。改革开放以来,中国走上了持续稳定的经济社会发展之路,使13亿人民迈向实现小康的目标。
years ago, Chairman Mao Zedong announced the founding of the PRC.He famously stated that the Chinese people had stood up.The country at that time was in a state of poverty and dire need.60 years on, China has gone through a historic transformation and this has not been an easy journey.We went through all kinds of difficulties trying to find the right path to economic prosperity.Finally we’ve succeeded through reform and opening up, to embark on economic and social progress, the 1.3 billion people are advancing towards “Xiao Kang”(the Chinese word for prosperous living.)
十月一日将在北京举行的庆典举世瞩目。人们在问,中国要向世界传递一个什么样的信息?对此每个中国人都会有自己的答案。
The parades in Beijing in a few days time will be watched worldwide.People may ask, what message China is trying to convey to the world.I am sure every Chinese has an answer.最近在中国出现了一个今昔对比的风潮,人们在博客上讲述着60年家庭生活变迁的故事。主妇用照片比较着厨房家具的变化,男人们谈论着从自行车到汽车的跃进。At this very moment in China, the mood of celebration is tinged with nostalgia.One hot
topic for the bloggers is about stories of changes in the lives of families, housewives comparing photos showing how their kitchens have totally changed, men talking about the experience from trying a new bicycle to buying the first car.我也受到这个怀旧情调的感染,翻出珍藏的母亲留给我的粮票,这方寸间斤、两的标注,记录着中国人生活窘迫的岁月。而今粮票已经成为历史,我已经答应把这些粮票赠送给大英博物馆。
Hit by this wave of nostalgia, I have brought this handkerchief parcel left by my mother.She wrapped in it some food coupons.At one moment in our history, food was scarce and tokens were needed.My mother kept these in case those times were to return.They never did.For their historical value, I’ve promised to give them to the British museum.These small pieces of paper are powerful testimony to the strides China has taken.中国人2008年一天创造的财富,比1952年全年的总和还要多。我们永久告别了贫困和落后,这就是为什么我们高兴、我们自豪,为什么我们举国欢庆。
China turned out more wealth in a day in 2008 than in a whole year of 1952.This is what we are celebrating: farewell to poverty and backwardness.抚今追昔,我们没有理由自满,改革开放任重而道远。我们信心十足,将建设一个和谐稳定的国家,实现全体人民学有所教、劳有所得、住有所居、病有所医、老有所养。
However, we have no reason to be complacent.Our reforms remain a far and hard journey.We want to build a harmonious and stable society, where every kid is in school, every one has work to do, every one has a roof over the head, every sick is treated and the elderly taken cared of.今天,当世界为中国喝彩的时候,当胡锦涛主席在联合国的讲话引起全世界对中国应对气候变化努力的一片褒扬的时候,我们深刻地认识到,中国已走上国际舞台。中国的一言一行,中国的每一分成就,都与世界息息相关,同样,世界的动向时刻对中国产生着影响。我们将认真对待时代赋予的国际责任,为世界的和谐与发展做出自己的贡献。
Today, when the world cheers for China, when we hear praise for President Hu Jintao’s statement on climate change at the UN podium, we are aware that China has emerged on the world stage.China’s words and deeds, China’s every success are important to the world.Likewise, what happens in the world affects China.We need to learn and fulfill the international responsibilities time has endowed on us and contribute to building harmony and prosperity in the world.英国是我们重要的国际伙伴,双方在国际事务中有广泛共识,对双边合作有全面的投入,而且,我们能够通过对话妥善处理分歧与差异。双方应共同努力,抓住新机遇将两国关系推向新的高度。
Britain is our important international partner.We share wide common views on contemporary issues and we are both devoted to closer bilateral cooperation.We have also been able to handle differences through candid dialogues.Given the new opportunities, the two sides should work together to bring our relations to a new high.最后让我们共同举杯:为中国,为英国,为中英合作,干杯!
In conclusion, I would like to propose a toast:
To China, to Britain, and to friendship.Thank you.

即将离开英国的时刻,工作上有了一些句号,做成了一些事情,但是也有不少“逗号”,不少工作还没有完成,还有一些“问号”。但是我对中英关系的坚定承诺没有改变,相信在双方共同努力下,中英关系的明天将更加美好。我希望各位热烈欢迎我的继任刘晓明大使,一如既往地支持他的工作。我也要感谢使馆的同事在过去3年里给我的大力支持,感谢海德饭店为我们今天的酒会提供这样好的场地。
下周一我就要离开伦敦了。临走之前,我会最后一次去公园慢跑,最后一次到牛津街漫步。人还未离开,已经开始想念英国了。希望我们的友谊长存。
Thank you for coming this evening-this is a bitter sweet occasion for me.In the 1920s, the Chinese envoy to the UK was Gu Weijun, a great diplomat whom I highly admire.When he was asked what was the most cruel Chinese saying, he quoted this proverb: 'However grand the feast, it always has to end'.Leaving London for me, is like savoring the last sip of wine at the end of this party, still warm, but already tempered with a little sadness.As a diplomat and someone who is ethnically Mongolian, I am a natural nomad.My career took me to many places across the world, Bucharest, Phnom Penh, Jakarta, Manila, and Canberra.Leaving was always a difficult thing to do, but leaving here seems even more so.I will miss the many friends I have met here and colleagues I worked with in the UK, who have supported me and helped me to understand Britain and its people.In the past 3 years, I walked many streets and countryside across Britain.What I felt can best be expressed by a quotation from a famous Chinese writer Wang Meng.He wrote: 'coming to London is like walking into a familiar oil painting'.British life is exciting and diverse.Whether it was watching a play, cheering for a football team, or watching horse racing, it was always enjoyable and exiting.The charm and maturity of the British style has not been lost on me.Like many Chinese, British literature was part of my education.Being here has given me the luxury of tracing the roots of some famous names.The little round table under the window where Jane Austen wrote, including Pride and Prejudice, is printed on my memory.

The open moor which so inspired Bronte sisters gave me much to think.The quiet lakeside home of William Wordsworth took me hours to walk through.This is quintessentially British, the charm of culture that is a magnet for countless Chinese.My 3 years in London have seen stable development of relations between the two countries.The Chinese President and Premier visited here and PM Brown went to Beijing.In addition, leaders and ministers met and called each other so many times that I almost lost count.There is also increasing visits from all the provinces.Chinese investment in the UK grew almost 6-fold.The numbers of Chinese students and tourists are increasing at double digit numbers.I was told that the money spent by Chinese shopping on Bond street almost doubled last year.Britain maintained its position as the largest EU investor in China and the third largest EU trading partner for China.During my summer holiday in Beijing, I went shopping for a mattress and the one I eventually bought turned out to be a brand name from 19th century Britain.The word “British designed” carries strong weight in China.During my visits to the Midlands, company after company have opened my eyes to Britain's role as a leading creative powerhouse in the world, in addition to being a global financial center, which fits nicely with Chinese manufacturing power.Both sides need to work harder to tap this potential.China and British partnership is increasingly underpinned by support amongst our people.Organizations like CBBC, the 48 group club and many other educational and friendship groups have created a wealth of interest and business opportunities which needs to continue and grow over the coming years.I have also seen the interest in China amongst the British media and public grow in front of my eyes.I was told by the SSAT that their ambition is to provide every child in Britain the chance to study mandarin if they want to.And the outpouring of sympathy and support to China after the earthquake in Sichuan in 2008 was without doubt, the most moving experience during my stay.A 19 year old boy named Isaac Lewis walked from his home in Wales all the way to London to collect donations along the way.Therefore, I am very optimistic about the outlook of our relations.Having said all that, since I am with friends, I have to say the past three years have also seen more than their fair share of highs and lows.I found the great temptation is to judge and criticize when we do not meet or agree with each other's preferences.
中国驻英国大使傅颖的离任讲话
Each time problems occur, I have tried to draw inspiration from the historical wisdom of our two countries, and worked with my counter part to steer a way through candid dialogue, not losing sight of the larger interests of our two countries.But I think, the West needs to decide whether it's going to accept China as an equal and take China as it is.To do this it must engage and discuss rather than lecturing when problems occur.There is a story in Chinese called Mr Ye liking the dragon.Mr Ye is a great fan of the dragon.He had the dragon on his clothes, in his home and indeed everything around him.One day the dragon heard of this and decided to pay him a visit.When the dragon suddenly appeared, Mr Ye was so scared that he fainted.This is a story about liking something, but not necessarily really understanding it.If the West's policy objective towards China is to change it in the image of the West, it may never be satisfied.China is in the middle of reforms.Seldom does one see a major country whose professed objective is to reform itself.This is because we realize that they are still many areas that still leave room for improvement.China will continue to do so at its own pace and in its own way, not because the West wants it, but for the interest of the Chinese people.The sooner stereotyping of China gets replaced by a wider understanding, the sooner we will be able to recognize our differences and diversity and build a strong relationship based on understanding and respect.We in China also need to learn how to better explain ourselves to the world.My message to my colleagues is always: communicate, communicate and communicate.This is particularly important for China and UK as our relations are growing beyond the bilateral level and we more and more need to work together on global issues.As I leave this country, I achieved some full stops in my work.There are still quite a few commas and unfinished business.There are even some question marks.But my commitment to the China-Britain partnership remains unchanged and I am confident of a better tomorrow.On a personal note I hope that my successor Ambassador Liu Xiaoming receives the great welcome and support I have had and I would like to thank my great embassy team for the support over the last three years.My thanks also go to Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park Hotel, which has provided such a nice setting for tonight's reception.I am flying out next Monday.I will be trying to take my last jog in the park and walk on Oxford Street for the last time.I am already missing Britain.May I wish our friendship last forever.

驻英国大使刘晓明在国庆62周年招待会上的讲话
Remarks by H.E.Ambassador Liu Xiaoming at the Reception Marking the 62nd Anniversary of the Founding of the People’s Republic of China
2011年9月29日,中国驻英国大使馆
尊敬的英国外交国务大臣布朗阁下,尊敬的英国议会下院副议长伊文斯阁下,尊敬的各位使节、各位将军、各位议员,女士们、先生们、朋友们:
Minister Jeremy Browne, Deputy Speaker Nigel Evans, Excellencies and members of the diplomatic corps, Generals, MPs, My Lords, Ladies and Gentlemen,欢迎大家出席今晚的招待会,同我们一道庆祝中华人民共和国成立62周年。
Welcome to the reception tonight celebrating the 62nd anniversary of the founding of the People‟s Republic of China.62年前,面对一个积贫积弱、百废待兴的国家,新中国的缔造者们为她的未来描绘了一幅图景,那就是中华民族“勇敢而勤劳地工作,创造自己的文明和幸福,同时促进世界的和平和自由。”
years ago China was a poor and weak country badly in need of reconstruction.The founding fathers of the People‟s Republic articulated a vision for the future of the country.Their blueprint was a call to action to the Chinese people.The message was this: · „Let us work hard to create our own civilization.· We will build a happy life and contribute to world peace and freedom.‟
今天,这份图景正在成为现实。今天的中国欣欣向荣,通过62年的艰苦奋斗,特别是33年的改革开放,中国已经成为世界第二大经济体和世界第二大贸易体;今天的中国稳定和谐,民主法治越来越健全,公平正义越来越得到崇尚;今天的中国与世界互利共赢,在国际和地区事务中发挥着积极和负责任的作用,与各国同舟共济,合力应对金融危机,促进共同发展。
This ambition is becoming a reality.China today is a prosperous economy.The impact is there to be seen in China.62 years of hard work and 33 years of reform and opening-up have transformed my country.China has been turned into the world‟s second largest economy and trading nation.China today is a stable and harmonious society.Democracy and rule of law have been further strengthened.Fairness and justice are the shared pursuit of the government and the people.China today is a responsible contributor in the international system.We seek a win-win relationship with all nations.China plays an active and responsible role in international and regional affairs.We are making joint efforts with the world to battle the financial crisis and promote peaceful and sustainable development worldwide.就在5个小时前,中国成功发射了“天宫一号”目标飞行器,迈出了建设空间站的重要一步。中国的太空探索将为人类科学研究、和平利用太空做出新的贡献。
Just 5 hours ago, China‟s Tiangong-1 space module was successfully launched.It is another important step in our program to build a space station.Progress in China‟s space exploration will make new contribution to international scientific research and peaceful use of space.我们对中国过去62年取得的成就感到骄傲,更对中国的未来充满信心。
We have every reason to be proud of what China has achieved in the past 62 years, and have great confidence that China will have a bright future.最近,中国政府发表了《中国的和平发展》白皮书,再次郑重向全世界宣告,中国将坚定不移地沿着和平发展的道路走下去。我们坚信,只有这条道路,中国才能实现现代化和富民强国,才能为世界文明进步作出更大贡献。
Recently, the Chinese government published a white paper that is called „China‟s Peaceful Development.This document reaffirms to the world China‟s commitment:
· China is committed to a path of peaceful development.We see this as the only path leading to China‟s modernization and prosperity and greater contribution by China to the progress of human civilization.中国将坚持科学发展。我们将以人为本,始终尊重人权和人的价值,走共同富裕道路;我们将促进全面协调可持续发展,全面推进经济、政治、文化、社会及生态各领域建设。
· China pursues scientific development.In essence it means that in China we take a people-first approach and respect human rights and human values.Our mission is to deliver a prosperous life to all our people.We seek balanced and sustainable development in all aspects.China‟s aim is to promote all-round progress in economic, political, cultural, social and ecological fields.中国将坚持自主发展。我们将从本国国情出发,主要依靠自身力量和改革创新推动经济社会发展,不把问题和矛盾转嫁给别国。
· China relies on itself for addressing challenges of development.We will mainly rely on our own hard work and on reform and innovation to promote economic and social development.And we will not in any way shift problems to others.中国将坚持开放发展。我们将积极参与经济全球化,学习借鉴人类社会一切文明成果,以开放的姿态融入世界,不断拓展对外开放。中国不会也不能关起门来搞建设。
· China‟s development is best served by greater openness to the outside world.We are an active player in globalisation.Chinese people welcome the opportunity to learn the best of other civilisations.China will open wider to the world: we will notcut ourselves off from the rest of world.中国将坚持和平发展。中国绝不搞侵略扩张,永远不争霸、不称霸,始终作维护世界和地区和平稳定的坚定力量,为国家发展营造良好的外部环境。
· China‟s development is a force for peace in the world.We will never seek invasion, expansion or hegemony.We are a staunch force for world and regional peace and stability.And we are determined to create a favorable environment for China to reach its development goals.中国将坚持合作发展。我们将坚持以合作谋和平、以合作促发展、以合作化争端,致力于通过同各国不断扩大互利合作,有效应对各种全球性挑战。
· China believes in development by cooperation.We seek the widest possible cooperation with the world.Our aim is to uphold peace, promote development and resolve disputes.China believes in cooperation as an effective channel to address global challenges.中国将坚持共同发展。我们将继续奉行互利共赢的开放战略,在追求自身发展的同时,努力实现与他国发展的良性互动,促进世界的共同繁荣。
· China seeks common development.We will continue to carry out a win-win opening-up policy.While achieving our own development, we will build good relations with other countries and promote shared prosperity of the world.在中国走和平发展道路的进程中,我们始终将英国作为重要的合作伙伴。新时期,两国加强合作不仅有利于两国的发展,也将造福世界。
In the course of its peaceful development, China has always regarded Britain as an important partner.Stronger cooperation not only serves Chinese and British interests, but also contributes to world peace and prosperity.中英合作是双赢。中英经济互补性强,英国具有金融、技术、创新和管理等长项,中国具有资金、市场和劳动力等优势,“强强结合”可以为双方经济增长提供强大动力。
China‟s cooperation with Britain is mutually beneficial.Our economies are highly complementary.Britain‟s strength lies in finance, technology, innovation and business management.China‟s growth potential comes from its abundant capital, vast market and large pool of labour.By building a „Partnership for Growth, we can contribute to each other‟s economic prosperity.中英合作也是多赢。中英同为联合国安理会常任理事国和二十国集团成员,两国在国际政治和世界经济事务中保持密切沟通和协调,共担责任、共迎挑战,有利于世界的和平与发展。
China-Britain comprehensive partnership is a contribution to the world.We are both members of the UN Security Council and the G20.We have maintained close communication and coordination in international affairs.Together, we have taken our due responsibilities, risen to challenges and contributed to world peace and development.我们高兴地看到,今年的中英关系精彩纷呈。温家宝总理和李克强副总理分别访英,王岐山副总理和戴秉国国务委员先后来英与英方领导人共同主持中英经济财金对话和中英战略对话。这些访问和对话进一步增进了双方共识,即以新思维、新方式推进合作,又要处理好分歧,相互尊重,相互适应,求同存异,共谋发展。今年以来,中英经贸继续保持两位数增长,特别是英国对华出口继续保持强劲势头,今年1-8月同比增长28.6%。当前,英国对华出口在其前15大出口目的国中增长最快。中国对英投资继续在各国中名列前茅。中英人文交流日益密切和深化,“汉语热”在英不断升温;再过几个月,来自中国四川的两只大熊猫就要作为“中英友谊的使者”到英国安家落户。
A close dialogue between Chinese and British leaders is a key factor in the strength of Sino-UK relations.We are encouraged to see a productive year for our relations in 2011.Premier Wen Jiabao and Vice Premier Li Keqiang both visited Britain.Vice Premier Wang Qishan came this month to co-chair the China-UK Economic and Financial Dialogue.Just this week State Councilor Dai Bingguo came to London to co-host the Strategic Dialogue.These visits and dialogues have further increased our common understandings.Both countries now agree on the need to boost our cooperation with new ideas and new approaches, while managing differences on the basis of mutual respect and mutual adjustment.This positive approach will help us to seek common ground despite our differences and promote common development.This year, trade between us has continued its double-digit growth.British exports to China have remained robust.These rose 28.6 percent year-on-year in the first 8 months of this year.That is faster than any of Britain‟s top 15 export markets.And China is still a leading investor in Britain.Our people-to-people exchanges have further deepened.The best example is the rapid increase of people of all ages studying Mandarin in many parts of this country.So far 2011 has shown a deepening of Sino-UK relations in all areas.This trend will continue.A couple of months from now, a pair of giant pandas from China will settle in Britain as “Ambassadors of China-UK friendship”.展望明年,中英将迎来建立大使级外交关系40周年,英国将举办第30届夏季奥运会,中国将成为伦敦书展主宾国。我相信,双方围绕这些重要节点,共同作出努力,中英明年的交流将更加广泛深入,合作将更加富有成果。
Next year will be another milestone in China-Britain relations: · We will celebrate 40 years of full diplomatic relations.· Britain will host the 30th Summer Olympic Games.· And China has been named the Guest of Honour of the 2012 London Book Fair.I have the confidence that together, we will use these landmark events to great effect.These will be the catalysts to widen exchanges and create ever more productive cooperation between our countries.最后,我提议,In closing, please join me in a toast:
为庆祝中华人民共和国成立62周年,· To the 62nd anniversary of the founding of the People‟s Republic of China.为中英关系不断结出丰硕成果,· To the fruitful relations between China and Britain.为各位来宾的身体健康,· And to the good health of all guests present.干杯!
Cheers!
