Speech at the “Chinese Bridge” Reception by Ambassador Zhang

Junsai

April 23, 2011, Ottawa

老师们，同学们：

Members of the faculty,My dear students,欢迎大家来使馆做客。教育处的同事告诉我，你们都对汉语和中国文化有着浓厚的兴趣，是加拿大大学生里的“中国通”。我对此深信不疑。

It's a real pleasure to have you all with us today.My colleagues in the Educational Section told me, that you are very interested in Chinese and the Chinese culture.They said that the young men and women present today are the “old China hands” among Canadian college students.(Laughter.)I have no doubt about that.我来加已有5个月，走了许多地方，接触到许多人，令我吃惊，后来又习惯的是，许多加拿大人，年龄比你们大，都喜欢用汉语同我交谈，让我又兴奋，又失落。兴奋的是有越来越多的加拿大人了解中国或正在了解中国。失落的是今后我在这里用英语的场合就比较少了，这对我提高我的英语水平可不是个好消息。

It's been five months since I came to Canada.I've traveled around and met many Canadians.One thing that surprised and inspired me was that many of these people, a lot older than you are, preferred to talk to me in Chinese.(Laughter.)I'm excited and frustrated at the same time-Excited because more Canadians know about or are getting to know about China;Frustrated because I realized that there will be little time left for me to polish my English here.(Laughter.)That doesn't sound so good.(Laughter.)

对你们当中那些学汉语轻而易举的人，我想借现在中国年轻人中最流行的形容词夸一句：你们真“给力”。对你们当中那些曾为学汉语伤脑筋的人，我想说：别担心，我们当年学外语也是这么过来的。就我个人经历来看，无论是学汉语、英语还是法语，都跟打冰球一样，要做到三件事，就是练习，练习，再练习。

Now, to those of you who find learning Chinese a piece of cake, I say to you, as any Chinese your age would comment at the moment: 你们真给力, meaning You Rock.(Laughter.)To those of you who had a hard time with Chinese, I say to you: we all did.That's what happens when you take on a foreign language.So hang in there, don't give up.To me, language learning is like hockey.To play like a pro, you've got to do three things-practice, practice, practice.(Laughter.)

当你决定修这门说话像唱歌，写字像画画，同音不同字，同字不同音的语言时，很难有捷径可走。所以有人感叹道，汉语能学好，什么事都难不倒。

When it comes to studying Chinese, a language where people talk like singing, write like sketching, different characters sound the same, same character reads differently, there's no detour.No wonder some people say if you can be fluent in Chinese, there's nothing you cannot do.(Laughter.)

正如冰球对你们来说不只是一项运动一样，汉语也不仅仅是一个交流的工具。它是中华文化的载体、中国人智慧的结晶，更是一种独特的生活与思维方式。

Just as hockey is much more than a winter sport, the Chinese language is way beyond a tool for communication.It's the carrier of China's culture, the growing legacy of Chinese wisdom and a way of

life and thinking.你们学汉语，学到的将不仅是汉语的抑扬顿挫，还有中国五千年悠久的历史和丰富多彩的风俗人情。你们懂汉语，懂得的将远不止汉字的精准优美，还有中国人主张的仁爱民本、和而不同等哲学理念。你们用汉语，用到的将不只是成语典故，还有中国看自己、看世界的角度和思路。

In your course of study: You will learn not only the tones but also China's 5000 years of history;You will understand not only the concision and elegance of characters but also Chinese philosophies of benevolence, love of people and pursuit of harmony without uniformity;You will get not only the idioms but how China sees the world and itself.这就是为什么从伦敦到新德里再到渥太华有几十万你们的同龄人将汉语作为优先选修的外语。这就是为什么美国总统宣布在5年内派10万美国青年人到中国留学。这也是为什么全球有超过4000万来自不同国家、不同行业的人在学习汉语，刮起一股“汉语热”。

This is why hundreds of thousands of college students made Chinese as their language of choice from London to New Delhi to right here in Ottawa.This is why President Obama announced that the US will send 100,000 students to study in China in five years.This is also why Chinese is riding a wave of popularity with more than 40 million learners around the world.你们在加拿大学汉语，可以说是正当其时。近年来，中加两国在经贸、旅游、文化、教育和民间交往等方面合作愈加紧密。越来越多加拿大企业到中国做生意，中国企业也纷纷将目光投向加拿大。去年6月以来，有超过20万中国游客来加拿大赏湖光山色，品冰酒枫糖，看斯坦利杯。目前，5万余名中国留学生在加深造，你们或许已经结识了不少来自中国的伙伴。中加伙伴关系的延续与深化需要你们这样既能讲英语、法语，又懂汉语，熟悉两国情况的人才。

There's no better time to learn Chinese here than now.In the past few years, China and Canada have had closer cooperation in commerce, trade, tourism, culture, education and people to people exchange.More Canadian companies are doing business in China.At the same time, more Chinese companies are turning their eyes to Canada.Since June last year, over 200,000 Chinese tourists have travelled to Canada for sight-seeing, ice wine, maple syrup and their favorite teams in the Stanley Cup Playoffs.(Laughter.)At the moment, more than 50,000 Chinese students are studying in Canada.Many of them are in your universities.The growth of China-Canada relationship needs talents like you, who speak the language of both of our countries.讲一口流利的汉语，你跟世界上五分之一的人打起交道来就更容易。懂汉语，你就能第一时间掌握来自中国的资讯，知道中国不只是纸张、火药、指南针、活字印刷的发源地。中国已成为世界第二大经济体，正在努力实现可持续、环境友好、资源节约型的绿色经济。懂汉语，你就能更深刻地认识到中国文化的内涵远大于武功、杂技和宫保鸡丁，杰出中国人绝不只有孔子、成龙和姚明。懂汉语，你就更能了解我们两国尽管在历史、现状与价值观上有差异，但这并未影响到中加合作、友谊与相互了解，中加关系不是零和游戏。中、加贸易互补性很强，在能矿资源开发利用、铁路、电信等方面合作前景广阔，两国的发展繁荣符合彼此的利益。

Mastering Chinese will open doors to one fifth of world's population.You will have direct access to first-hand information on China from China.You will know that proud as we were, China's history did not stop at the invention of compass, gunpowder, papermaking and printing.(Laughter.)China has become world's second largest economy.Like Canada, we are working hard to make our development sustainable, environment friendly and energy-conserving.Keep learning Chinese.You will find that Chinese culture is not just about Kong fu, acrobatics and Chinese food.(Laughter.)You will know that there are other world famous Chinese apart from Confucius, Jackie Chan and Yao Ming.(Laughter.)You will see that our differences in history, status quo and values did not stand in the way of our friendship and cooperation, that China-Canada relationship is not a zero sum game.Our economies have a lot to offer each other.Our cooperation in fields such as energy and resources exploration, railways and telecommunications has huge potential.A more prosperous China and Canada benefits us both.当然，要更深入地学习汉语、了解中国，最好、最直接的办法是去中国留学。中国政府为加拿大学生设立了赴华奖学金，鼓励你们和你们的同学去中国攻读学位或短期交流，多走走、多看看，亲身感受当地的发展变化、风土人情，跟中国大学生们交流与互动。同时，中国的年轻人们也在努力学习英语、法语。他们也期待着同你们一起探讨感兴趣的话题，了解加拿大的现在和过去。

The best place to learn Chinese is China.Our government has set up scholarships for Canadian college students such as you to study in China.We hope more young people like you will go to China to study or join exchange programs.This way, you will be able to travel across China, have a taste of local customs and see for yourselves what's happening on the ground.You will also have the chance to interact with your Chinese counterparts, many of whom are studying your languages and looking forward to know more about Canada.今年是“世界大学生中文比赛”十周年。前几届比赛中，来自加拿大的选手们说学逗唱样样行，别具特色，给大家留下了深刻的印象，获得不错的成绩。我期待着在今后的比赛中也看到你们的精彩表现。

This year we celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Chinese Bridge Competition.In previous competitions, we have seen exceptional displays of talents, creativity and humor from Canadian students.Their language proficiency shocked and amazed the audience.I don't want to give you any pressure, but I expect great things from you all.最后，祝大家在兔年里学习进步、美梦成真、汉语水平芝麻开花节节高。也期待你们中间有更多的“大山”出现，为中加友谊、中加合作添砖加瓦。

Before you, one Canadian completed the mission impossible.His name is Mark Rowswell, a.k.a.“Dashan” in China.After years of study, Mark now speaks better Chinese than many Chinese.(Laughter.)He's become a household name in China as a performer, language educator and TV host.But more importantly, Mark is an active cultural ambassador between China and Canada.I hope from among you there will be more Mark Rowswells.I am sure, that like him, you will contribute a unique share to our two countries' friendship and partnership.Finally, I wish you the best of luck in your studies and all your future endeavors.谢谢。现在我愿回答大家的提问。

驻英大使第十届“汉语桥”英国区中文比赛讲话

驻英国大使刘晓明在第十届“汉语桥”世界大学生中文比赛英国区预

选赛上的讲话

2011年3月19日，伦敦公谊大厦

Remarks by H.E.Ambassador Liu Xiaoming at the UK Regional Final for the Tenth “Chinese Bridge” Chinese

Proficiency Competition 19 March 2011, Friends House, London

各位选手、各位评委、各位来宾： Judges and contestants, Ladies and gentlemen，首先，祝贺“汉语桥”世界大学生中文比赛十周岁生日。我很高兴再次出席英国区预选赛。当你再到一个地方或再次出席一项活动，中国有一句唐诗叫：“前度刘郎今又来”。恰好我姓“刘”，所以这句话形容今天的场合是再贴切不过了。

I have real pleasure attending this 10th “Chinese Bridge” Competition.I enjoyed it so much last year – so it's very good to be back!We Chinese people love poetry and are always looking for amusing word links.So I cannot resist giving you a link about 'coming back'as I am indeed a Mr Liu come back again!This 10th anniversary must be a celebration – as the competition is now a huge success.The aim of the competition – to use an English pun – is to to create a deeper 'bridge of understanding'.It has united college students worldwide.Since it started in China in 2002 a hundred thousand students from more than seventy countries have competed.Now that's something well worth celebrating!Also we should give a big cheer for how the competition is boosting the learning of the Chinese language worldwide.Making learning fun is a sure recipe for success.I am certain that formula is the why the competition is a winner.我再度前来，是要给各位选手加一把油，希望再次给你们带来好运。去年，英国赛区选拔的蒋思哲等三位同学在中国举行的总决赛中取得了特等奖及两个三等奖这一前所未有的好成绩。我希望今年你们再接再厉，能有新的优秀选手脱颖而出，再创佳绩。我也希望你们不仅仅把这里当作是一个赛场，更把这里当作是一个展现学习成果的舞台，互相交流学习心得的平台。

I come back to bring you good luck again.The same event last year produced three finalists.One of them, Mr Stewart Johnson, went on to win the very top prize in China.The other two won third prizes in the finals.That was Britain's best ever performance.I wish you the very best of luck to achieve the success of the UK contestants last year – and they set you a rather high standard!So there's the challenge!I wish you more world-beating success from you British contestants this year!

我再度前来，是要给在英的“汉语热”添一把火。我高兴地看到，近10万英国人正在学习中文，英格兰1/6的中小学开设了汉语课程，英国54所大学开设了中文课程，其中7所大学设有中文专业，13所孔子学院和54间孔子课堂在英落地生根。不久前，我应邀与查尔斯王子一同为威尔士兰德福瑞公学孔子课堂揭牌，令我意外的是，查尔斯王子用非常标准的汉语对我说：“威尔士欢迎你！”我想，有你们的王储亲作表率，你们的汉语一定会学得更好！

I come back to heat up the Mandarin fever.The contest is motivating the learning of Mandarin.I cannot tell you just how thrilled I am by that.Nearly one hundred thousand people are learning Mandarin in Britain.In your secondary and primary schools54 British universities teach Mandarin.7 of those universities offer Mandarin as a major subject.Then there are 13 Confucius Institutes and 54 Confucius Classrooms that have been opened.On a personal note, not long ago, I had the honour of joining His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales in the opening ceremony of a Confucius Classroom at Llandovery College in Wales.His Royal Highness said to me“Wei Er Shi Huan Ying Ni!”(Wales Welcomes You).What a wonderful example of leadership by the Prince to encourage young people to learn Mandarin!His example is very valuable.我再度前来，是要给正在学习汉语的广大英国青年鼓一把劲。语言是文化的载体，是交流的工具。希望你们通过汉语学习，了解中国五千年文明历史及深厚文化传统，了解今天的中国正在努力建设一个和谐、民主、繁荣、现代化的国家。就在上周，中国全国人民代表大会通过了“十二五”规划，这是中国未来五年发展的蓝图，其核心就是要转变经济发展方式，调整经济结构，大力发展社会事业，保障和改善民生。中国不会单纯满足于经济总量成为世界第二，而是要使所有民众充分享受发展的成果，真正实现国强和民富。你们学习汉语，了解中国，可以说正当其时，精彩无限，前途无量。

I come back to cheer on the young Britons who started learning Mandarin.Languages are the most important carriers of cultural messagesThe National People's Congress.This 'blueprint' stresses the importance of adjusting China's growth model.This means changing the economy from dependency on exports to encouraging consumption inside China.The plan will strengthen social programmesand so improve the quality of people's lives.But, growing in size and quantity is by no means China's goal.What China is after is high quality growth and a happy life for its people.The aim is for every Chinese to share in the success of development.The 'blueprint' wants China and its people to more and more “go out” into the world.All this points to very great advantages for young Britons to start learning Mandarin and begin to really understand China.我再度前来，是要给中英友谊喝一声彩。中国和英国都是两个伟大的国家，都为人类文明的发展作出了重要贡献。中国和英国都在努力促进经济增长，双方经济互补性强，合作潜力大；中国和英国都是大国，在国际事务中发挥着重要作用。今天的中英关系，是全面的关系、合作的关系、伙伴的关系。中英关系从来没有像现在这样广泛和深入，从来没有像现在这样充满发展动力和机遇。中英关系的发展需要两国人民的全力支持、参与和投入，特别是需要两国年轻人的继承和创新。你们学习汉语的过程，也是与中国接触和交流的过程，希望你们多与中国青年接触和交流。我常说，青年是国家的未来，也是中英关系的未来。希望中英两国青年通过语言和思想的交流，增进了解和理解，培植中英友谊之花，孕育中英友谊之果，为中英关系奠定更加美好的未来。

I come back to cheer for China-Uk friendship.China and the UK share much a great deal.We are both great nations who have made tremendous contributions to human civilisation.A key shared attribute is our inventiveness.A simple example is in creating revolutions in communications.China gave the world paper and printing.In turn UK used paper and printing to create another communications revolution.This was the invention of the postage stamps and low cost mail delivery.Both our countries play a major role in global affairs.Both are increasingly drawn together to promote economic development.Often our exchanges stress economics and trade.But I believe the optimal way to accelerate trade and economics is with much deeper cultural understanding.That is why this competition has such huge significance.Through building the bridge we link the young people of the world.Young people are the future and so the future of our friendship.最后，我愿用中文对今天的参赛选手说：“中国欢迎你们！”，“祝你们再次载誉而归！”

To conclude.I cannot grant magic wishes to make you all champions – but let me wish all the contestants best of luck.现在我宣布第十届“汉语桥”世界大学生中文比赛英国区预选赛正式开始！

Now please allow me to officially announce the opening of the 10th “Chinese Bridge” Competition!

第三篇：驻英国大使刘晓明在英国剑桥大学的演讲--中英文对照

成功的道路，全面的发展

——驻英国大使刘晓明在英国剑桥大学的演讲 英国剑桥大学嘉治商学院 2011年2月22日

The Road to Success and Comprehensive Development--Speech by H.E.Ambassador Liu Xiaoming at the University of Cambridge Judge Business School, University of Cambridge 22 February 2011

尊敬的剑桥大学校长博里塞维奇爵士，老师们，同学们：

Vice Chancellor Sir Leszek Borysiewicz, Faculty members, Students，很高兴应博里塞维奇校长的邀请访问剑桥大学并作演讲。

It is my great pleasure and privilege to visit Cambridge at the invitation of the Vice Chancellor and to speak at the Judge Business School.这是我出使英国后第一次来到剑桥，但我对剑桥丝毫没有陌生感。

This is my first visit to Cambridge as Chinese Ambassador to the UK.Yet Cambridge is no stranger to me.虽然我到英国后先去了牛津，但我知道“牛津出首相、剑桥出诺贝尔奖”这句佳话，知道剑桥大学校友获得了88个诺贝尔奖，相当于英国所获诺奖的总和，在世界所有大学中保持最高纪录。

I heard a saying: “If you want to meet prime ministers, go to Oxford;but for Nobel Prize winners, go to Cambridge”.Cambridge alumni won 88 Nobel Prizes, as many as the prizes won by Britain as a country, ranking first in all the universities around the world.我最早相识剑桥，是因为徐志摩先生在这里留下了《再别康桥》这样的千古绝唱，也是因为李约瑟博士在这里写就了鸿篇巨著《中国科学技术史》。

I first got to know Cambridge from Chinese poet Xu Zhimo who wrote his best-known poem Farewell to Cambridge, and later from Dr Joseph Needham who wrote and edited the epic series Science and Civilisation in China.我第一次走进“剑桥”，是29年前我在美国塔夫茨大学弗莱彻学院读书的时候。当时弗莱彻学院由塔夫茨大学和哈佛大学共同管理，两院校图书馆使用统一索引，我经常去位于“剑桥”的哈佛大学图书馆查阅资料。

My first visit to a place called Cambridge was 29 years ago when I was a student at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy, which was then jointly administered by Tufts and Harvard.As Fletcher and Harvard shared the same library call number, I went to the Harvard Cambridge Library quite often.今天，我走进“正宗”的剑桥，这既是一次工作性质的访问，推动剑桥大学与中国的教育合作，也是一次个人的精神寻旅，品味剑桥800年的文化积淀。当然，我也愿就大家关心的中国话题，与你们交流讨论。

Today I have finally come to the real Cambridge, both on a personal journey to fulfil a long-cherished dream of seeing Cambridge and experiencing its 800-year heritage and on an official visit to discuss educational cooperation and to talk about China.上周，根据中日两国的最新GDP统计数字，中国正式超过日本成为了世界第二大经济体。世界上各大媒体都将此作为热点新闻进行报道。世界再次聚焦中国，围绕中国问题的讨论一直方兴未艾，现在再次升温。我总结了一下人们热议的几个问题：一是中国成为世界第二说明了什么？二是中国是否很快会成为世界第一？三是中国能否持续高速发展？四是中国发展对世界意味什么？今天，我想就这些问题谈谈我的看法。

Last week one of the headline news was that China has officially overtaken Japan as the world's second largest economy.This has put China in the limelight once again and stoked an ongoing discussion about China.Many questions were asked: What does China being the second largest economy tell us? How soon is China going to be number one? Will China be able to sustain such rapid growth? What does China's development mean to the world? The list can go on and on.But these are the most asked questions.Let me share my thoughts about these questions.首先，中国成为世界第二大经济体说明什么？我认为，它说明了中国发展道路的成功。

First question: What does it tell us that China rolls in at number two? I think it tells the successful story of China's development.中国为什么会取得如此成功？中国成功的经验是什么？中国成功靠走适合自己国情的道路。一个十三亿人口的大国，一个有五千年文明历史的古国，该走什么样的道路才能发展，教科书上没有现成的答案，历史上也没有可以参考的先例。但中国人“摸着石头过河”，牢牢把握自己的国情，不断探索实践，开拓创新，借鉴吸取世界各国有益经验，实现了天翻地覆的变化。

The secret of China's success is simple and open.That is China has found a development model well suited to its national conditions.How should we go about developing a country with 1.3 billion people and a history of 5 thousand years? Neither textbooks nor history has given us the ready answer.As Mr Deng Xiaoping termed it, we managed to “cross the river by feeling for the stones”.We explored our way forward in a pioneering spirit by combining the useful experiences of other countries with the unique circumstances of China.中国成功靠“改革开放”。开放，不仅是经济上的对外开放，从封闭半封闭到全方位、多层次、宽领域对外开放，更是思想头脑的解放，社会的自由宽松，政府的公开透明。改革，不仅是改革经济制度，将高度集中的计划经济体制改革为充满生机和活力的社会主义市场经济体制，也是政治、社会、文化的全面改革和建设。

China's success also lies in its commitment to reform and opening-up.Opening-up means embracing the global economy at every level and in every area.But it is much more than that.It also means freeing your mind, fostering a more open and perse society.It means nurturing a culture of open and transparent government.Reform is about transforming the planned economy to a vibrant socialist market economy.It is also about making comprehensive progress in political, social and cultural spheres.西方有些人认为，中国只搞经济改革，不搞政治改革。这是对中国全面改革的一种误解。事实上，30多年来，中国的经济体制改革每推进一步，政治体制改革也深化一步。人民代表大会制度、中国共产党领导的多党合作和政治协商制度，在中国政治生活中的地位和作用越来越大。30多年来，中国民主法制建设不断加强，坚持依法治国，几千年形成的人治社会正在向法治社会转变。30多年来，中国人权事业有了大发展，我们将尊重和保障人权写入了宪法，依法保障全体社会成员平等参与、平等发展的权利，同时加强国际人权合作。

Some people in the West believe China has carried out reform only in economic sector, not in political system.This is a misunderstanding of China's comprehensive reform.During the past 3 decades, political reform has come with economic reform every step of the way, and political progress has been achieved hand in hand with economic growth.We have seen a growing role of the National People's Congress and multi-party political consultation under the leadership of the Communist Party.Democratic decision making and the legal system has been strengthened.The millennium-old pattern of “rule by man” is giving way to the rule of law.We have also seen significant progress in human rights.The promotion and protection of human rights has been written into the Chinese Constitution.All citizens enjoy the rights protected by law to equal participation and development.We have also strengthened international cooperation on human rights.历史上，中国并非没有尝试过西方式的民主，但都并未给中国带来繁荣和富强。今天，我们找到了一条适合自己发展的道路，建立了有中国特色的民主制度，我们有什么理由动摇？有什么理由折腾？

It was not for lack of trying that Western-style democracy did not bring China the prosperity and strength it had wanted so badly in its modern history.Now that we have found our own road to success and Chinese style democracy, why should we waver or give it up?

第二个问题，中国是否已在坐二望一，很快超过美国？回答这个问题前，我们不妨看以下几对关键词：

Second question, how soon is China going to overtake the US? Before we answer this question, let's look at some key words:

一是“总量”和“人均”。尽管中国经济总量成了世界第二，去年达到5.8万亿美元，但人均GDP只有4300美元，仍排在世界百位左右，离中等发达国家相距甚远，仅占英国的1/9，美国的1/10。

“Aggregates” and “per capita”.China's economic aggregates stood at 5.8 trillion US dollars in 2010, ranking second in the world.But its per capita GDP was merely 4,300 US dollars, lower than about 100 other countries, only one ninth of the UK, and one tenth of the US.二是“沿海”与“内地”及“城市”与“农村”。中国的沿海很发达，城市很繁荣，但是中国西部经济仍很落后，而且中国的城镇化率仅有46%，城乡居民收入比高达3.23：1。我曾在中国最贫困的省份之一甘肃担任两年省长助理，对此深有感受。甘肃地处大西北，自然条件恶劣，沙漠化对当地人民的生存构成了严峻挑战，经济发展困难很大。许多农村的孩子们没有电脑，更从来没有上过互联网。很多孩子在完成国家9年义务阶段教育后，由于经济原因不得不中止学业。

“Coastal” and “inland”, “urban” and “rural”.We have in China both rich cities in the coastal regions and under developed poor regions in the west of the country.The urbanisation rate is only 46%, and the urban/rural income ratio is as high as 3.23 to 1.I served for two years as Assistant Governor in one of the poorest provinces in northwest China – Gansu.Gansu suffers from tough natural conditions.Desertification threatens the livelihood of the local people and economic development is a huge challenge.Many of the children in the countryside do not have access to computers or the internet.Many boys and girls have to drop out of school because their families cannot afford their continued education.三是“制造”与“创造”。中国是制造业大国，但很多产品只有加工、封装等劳动力密集型环节在中国完成，研发设计、关键部件和市场营销都在国外，中国处在国际产业链的末端。中国出口商品中90%是贴牌生产，每部手机售价的20%、计算机售价的30%、数控机床售价的20%到40%，都要支付给国外专利持有者。从“中国制造”到“中国创造”还有很长的路要走。

“Made in China” and “created in China”.For all its manufacturing strength, China is still at the lower end of the value chain.In many cases only the labour-intensive parts of production such as processing and packaging are done in China.R&D, design, key components and marketing are done elsewhere.90% of China's export commodities are OEM products.20% of the retail value of every mobile phone, 30% that of computers and 20-40% that of Computer Numerical Control machine tools go to foreign patent owners.There is still a long way to go from “Made in China” to “created in China”.四是“粗放”与“集约”。有数据显示，中国单位GDP的能耗是国际水平的三至四倍，是英国的八倍。中国消耗了全球46％的钢铁、16％的能源、52％的水泥，但仅创造了全球8％左右的GDP。中国经济发展效率还有待大幅提升，需要从“粗放型”向“集约型”发展。

“Energy-intensive” and “energy-efficient”.Statistics show that China's energy intensity is 3 to 4 times that of the international average and 8 times that of the UK.China consumes 46% of the world's iron and steel, 16% of energy, 52% of cement, and only produces 8% of the world's GDP.China still has a lot to do to raise the quality and efficiency of its economic growth.因此，中国经济总量虽然已居世界第二，但人均水平和GDP质量还远没有达到发达国家的水平。我们不是“谦虚”，也不是“虚伪”，更不是想逃避“责任”，而是中国仍然是一个不折不扣的发展中国家。集中精力搞建设，一心一意谋发展，是我们长期的优先任务。我们不追求“虚名”，要的是实实在在的国强和民富。

Although China is now number 2 economy in the world, we still lag far behind developed countries in per capita income and quality of GDP.China is still a developing country, not because we are modest or hypocritical, or we wish to escape from our responsibilities.Development will remain a top priority for China for a long time to come.第三个问题，中国已经高速行进了30多年，今后还能持续快速发展吗？

Third question: Can China sustain its fast growth after 3 decades?

回答是肯定的。中国还处在工业化中期阶段和城镇化加速上升阶段，中国仍需要大量的基础设施投资，需要在未来20年安置3亿多人口从农村迁移到城市，需要满足人民消费结构从温饱向小康升级换代的需求，需要实现西部地区向东部地区的发展水平看齐，因此中国经济并不缺乏动力，仍有很大的发展空间，我们有充分理由保持乐观。

The answer is positve.China is still in the course of rapid industrialisation and urbanisation.This is a phase when massive infrastructure investment is needed.300 million people are expected to move from the countryside to the cities in the next 20 years.The Chinese people need to upgrade their consumption pattern, and the western regions need to catch up with their eastern counterparts.So driving force is never lacking for the Chinese economy, and there is plenty of potential to be tapped.We have reasons to be optimistic about the future.中国去年底制定了“十二五”规划，即将在下月交由全国人民代表大会审议，这将是未来5年中国发展的重要蓝图。

The National People's Congress will review China's 12th Five-Year Plan at its annual session next month.This is an important blueprint for China's development in the next 5 years.我们要对中国经济结构进行战略性调整。我们将努力扩大内需，促进经济增长向依靠消费、投资、出口协调拉动转变。我们将加强农业，提升制造业核心竞争力，发展战略性新兴产业，加快发展服务业，促进经济增长向依靠第一、第二、第三产业协同带动转变。我们将统筹城乡发展，促进区域良性互动、协调发展。

We will carry out strategic economic restructuring to expand domestic demand and promote balanced growth driven by consumption, investment and exports.We will strengthen agriculture, increase the competitiveness of manufacturing, and give priority to emerging industries and the services sector.The aim is to seek a balanced and coordinated development between urban and rural areas and between east and west.我们要积极推进科技进步和创新，加快建设创新型国家。正如邓小平先生曾经指出的，科技是第一生产力。中国今后的发展必须向主要依靠科技进步、劳动者素质提高、管理创新转变。

We will promote scientific and technological progress and innovation.We will speed up efforts to turn China into an innovation-driven country.As Mr Deng Xiaoping pointed out, “There is no other productive force more important than science and technology”.Our future development must rely on scientific and technological progress, a higher quality labour force and innovative management.我们要更好地保障和改善民生。发展经济，归根结底是为了人民的幸福。我们将完善保障和改善民生的制度安排，把促进就业放在优先位置，推进基本公共服务均等化，加大收入分配调节力度，使发展成果惠及全体人民。

We will continue to improve the lives of our people.Economic development is aimed at serving people's interests.We will improve social security, increase job creation, promote equal access to public services and balance income distribution.This will ensure that the benefits of development will be shared by all.我们要建设资源节约型、环境友好型社会。中国人均GDP要向西方国家看齐，但人均能源消费绝不能赶超发达国家，因为我们生活的地球实在承受不起。我们不能走西方国家工业化的老路。我们要节约能源，降低温室气体排放强度，发展循环经济，推广低碳技术，积极应对气候变化，促进经济社会发展与人口资源环境相协调，走可持续发展之路。

We will build an energy-efficient and environment-friendly society.We need to catch up with developed countries in terms of per capita GDP, but not per capita energy consumption, as this would be unsustainable for our planet.China cannot follow the traditional Western way of industrialisation.We must raise energy efficiency, reduce emission intensity, develop a circular economy, extensively apply low-carbon technologies and actively address climate change.We must promote sustainable development, achieving an appropriate balance between economic, social progress and population, resources and the environment.第四个问题，中国发展了，对世界意味着什么？是福还是祸？是机遇还是威胁？我们不妨看三点：

The fourth and last question: What does China's development mean to the world, a blessing or catastrophe, opportunities or threats? This question can be answered in 3 aspects:

一是中国给世界和平带来威胁了吗？中国奉行独立自主的和平外交政策，庄严地向世界承诺永远不称霸，永远不搞扩张；主张不干涉别国内部事务和谈判解决国际争端；倡导互信、互利、平等、协作的新安全观。中国是联合国安理会常任理事国中派出维和人员最多的国家，累计参与24项联合国维和行动，派出上万名维和人员；中国向索马里海域派出护航舰队，与多国舰队一道打击海盗，维护国际水域的安全；中国大力倡导朝核问题六方会谈，努力维护半岛和地区的和平稳定。无论从中国的外交思想，还是外交行动来看，中国都是世界和平的维护者、稳定的促进者。

Is China a threat to world peace? China follows an independent foreign policy of peace.We solemnly pledged to the world that hegemony or expansion is never an option for China;China stands for non-interference in others' internal affairs and negotiated solutions to international disputes.China believes that security should be based on mutual trust, mutual benefit, equality and coordination.China is the largest contributor of peacekeepers amongst the UN Permanent 5, having sent 10 thousand peacekeepers on 24 UN missions.It has sent escort ships to the waters off the Somali coast and worked with the navies of other countries to combat piracy and improve safety in international waters.It has actively worked to facilitate the Six-Party Talks to uphold peace and the stability of the Korean Peninsula and Northeast Asia.China is in every way an upholder of peace and a facilitator of stability.二是中国给世界经济带来威胁了吗？金融危机以来，中国为全球经济增长提供了重要支撑。2010年发达国家经济仍步履维艰，在全球有效需求不足的情况下，中国扮演着向全球输出总需求的重要角色。欧盟去年对华出口增长31.9%，英国则增长42%。去年中国经济继续保持两位数增长，对世界经济增长贡献率达到20%。今后10年，中国将继续奉行互利共赢的开放战略，市场对外开放程度将进一步提高，在国际贸易中的比重会不断上升，从国际市场的进口仍会迅速增加。这些对世界各国来说，只会是巨大的发展机遇。

Is China a threat to the world economy? China has been a crucial support for global growth since the start of the financial crisis.It drove global demand at a time when developed countries were in economic difficulties.This was reflected in the 31.9% increase of EU exports and the 42% increase of UK exports to China last year.China maintained a double-digit growth last year, and contributed 20% of global economic growth.China will continue to pursue a strategy of win-win opening-up over the next decade.Its market will open wider, its share in international trade will increase, and its imports will rise.These will no doubt create enormous opportunities for countries around the world.三是中国对现行国际体系构成威胁了吗？中国作为一个负责任的大国，是国际体系的参与者、建设者和贡献者。我们与发达国家和新兴经济体就促进世界经济金融治理广泛开展合作，共同倡导加强G20机制；我们加强与发展中国家的传统友谊，帮助经济开发和实现减贫，过去两年里中国向其他发展中国家的贷款已经超过了世界银行；我们支持、倡导并践行多边主义，推动国际关系民主化，积极参与区域合作进程，努力促进国际体系更加有效地应对气候变化、能源和资源、粮食安全、恐怖主义等全球性挑战。

Is China a threat to the international system? China has been participating in and contributing to the current international system as a responsible major player.It has entered into extensive cooperation with its partners in developed and emerging economies on the reform of global economic and financial governance, and jointly advocated a greater role of the G20.It has strengthened traditional friendships with other developing countries and helped them develop their economies and reduce poverty.The loans it has provided to other developing countries in the past two years have surpassed those of the World Bank.It supports and practices multilateralism, and stands for greater democracy in international relations.This can be seen by its active participation in regional cooperation, along with the support it gives to tackling global challenges such as climate change, energy, resources, food security and terrorism.总之，中国的发展对世界是福不是祸，是机遇不是威胁。世界对中国不应感到担忧，更不应感到恐惧。美国前总统弗兰克林·罗斯福说的好：“我们唯一恐惧的就是恐惧本身。”

China's development is a blessing, not a catastrophe to the world.It means opportunities, not threats.It is not to be worried about, still less feared.As Franklin Roosevelt put it, “the only thing we have to fear is fear itself”.老师们、同学们，Faculty members and students，800多年来，剑桥大学秉承“此地乃启蒙之所和智慧之源”（拉丁语：Hinc lucem et pocula sacra）的校训，努力探索世界，不断追求真理。半个多世纪前，李约瑟博士以其睿智打开了中国古代科技的历史宝库，重拾了伟大的中华文明。今天，当你们放眼中国，你们会发现中国正在走一条前人没有走过的道路，中国的实践可能超出了以往人们的知识积累。面对今天的中国这一丰富的宝藏，我衷心地期望剑桥大学的学子们遵循你们的校训，不断探索，大力挖掘，成为英国乃至世界范围内研究当代中国的领军者。

Over the past 8 centuries, the University of Cambridge has stayed true to its motto “From here, light and sacred draughts”(Hinc lucem et pocula sacra)in its tireless pursuit of the world's truth and knowledge.More than half a century ago, Dr Joseph Needham uncovered the treasures of China's ancient science and civilisation.Today when you look at China, you will realise that it is embarking on a journey no country has ever made.This goes beyond the knowledge of human beings and offers enormous opportunities.I therefore encourage you to follow Cambridge's motto to renew your efforts in tapping the rich resources China has to offer and lead the UK and the world in studying and understanding today's China.原文链接：http://

第五篇：2010.5.6驻欧盟使团团长宋哲大使在庆祝中欧建交35周年招待会上致辞

驻欧盟使团团长宋哲大使在庆祝中欧建交35周年招待会上致辞

Remarks by H.E.Ambassador Song Zhe at the Reception Celebrating the 35th Anniversary of the Establishment of Diplomatic Relations between China and the European Union 尊敬的巴罗佐主席，瓦西里乌委员，莱万多夫斯基委员，阿尔梅达总司长，女士们，先生们，朋友们： Respected President Barroso，Dear Commissioner Vassiliou and Commissioner Lewandowski, Director-General Almeida, Distinguished Guests, Ladies and Gentlemen, 今天，我们怀着喜悦的心情相聚于此，隆重庆祝中欧建交35周年。首先，我要特别感谢巴罗佐主席拨冗出席今天的庆祝招待会，这再次充分显示了欧盟对发展中欧关系的重视。It is a great pleasure to be here on this joyful occasion, celebrating the 35th anniversary of the China-EU diplomatic relations.First of all, I wish to thank President Barroso for joining us this evening as we all know you have a very tight schedule.I want to say that your presence here today again gives full testimony of the great importance the European Union attaches to developing relations with China.35年前的今天，时任欧共体委员会副主席索姆斯访华，与中方达成了建交共识。自那时以来，中欧各自发生了巨大变化，中欧关系亦走过了不平凡的历程，取得了非凡的成就。Thirty-five years ago, then Vice President of the European Commission Baron Christopher Soames paid a visit to China, during which decision was made to establish diplomatic ties between China and the EEC.Since then, significant changes have taken place in both Europe and China, and so has our relations, which has come through an eventful journey and attained extraordinary achievements.这是中欧政治关系不断走向成熟的35年。特别是近年来，中欧关系成功实现跨越式发展，相继迈上建设性伙伴关系、全面伙伴关系和全面战略伙伴关系三个台阶，建立了领导人会晤、经贸高层对话等重要机制。中欧关系已成为世界上最具影响力的双边关系之一。Over these thirty-five years, our political relations have been maturing.Especially in recent years, leapfrog developments in our relations took us three steps forward-from constructive to comprehensive, and then to comprehensive strategic partnership.Today, there are, between us, annual summit, high-level economic and trade dialogue, and many other important political consultation mechanisms.Together we have made our bilateral relationship one of the most influential bilateral relations in the world.这是中欧经贸合作成果不断丰富的35年。建交之初，双边贸易额仅有24亿美元，大约相当于目前两天的贸易额。如今，欧盟已成为中国第一大贸易伙伴、最大进口来源地、出口市场和技术引进来源地。中国则成为欧盟第二大贸易伙伴和增长最快的出口市场。中欧经贸合作为各自的经济社会发展作出了重要贡献。

Our economic cooperation and trade has been booming.In 1975, the annual bilateral trade volume between China and the EU was only 2.4 billion US Dollars, roughly equivalent to what we could currently achieve in two days.However, today the EU is China's largest trading partner and export market, as well as the biggest source of import and technology transfer.China is the EU's second largest trading partner and the fastest growing export market.Business cooperation has contributed a great share to our respective economic and social progress.这是中欧人文交流与合作不断深化的35年。双方各个领域合作不断加深，各个层次人员往来频繁。目前中国在欧盟的留学生接近20万，欧盟在中国工作的人数超过15万。近年双方举办的多项大型人文交流活动获得巨大成功，有力地促进了了中欧人民间的相互了解和友谊。Our people-to-people exchanges have been widening.We are enjoying frequent personnel exchanges at all levels and our cooperation continue to deepen and expand.Nearly 200,000 Chinese students are studying in Europe and more than 150,000 EU citizens are working in China.In recent years, we have also effectively promoted mutual understanding and friendship between our two peoples through a number of major public events of cultural and people-to-people exchanges.这是中欧在国际事务中合作不断推进的35年。中欧作为长期交流互鉴的两大古老文明，国际舞台上两支重要力量，在携手应对全球挑战，促进世界和平与发展方面理念相通，利益交融。双方在国际和地区事务中密切沟通和配合，为推动世界多极化和加强全球治理做出了不懈努力。

Our cooperation in international affairs has been intensifying.Ancient civilizations though we are, China and Europe are taking up roles as major powers today.In the past, we shared with each other evidence of our best practices.Today, we share common interests and similar concepts as we commit ourselves to closer communications and coordination in international and regional affairs for a multipolar world and stronger global governance.上周，巴罗佐主席对中国进行了成功的访问。这是一次恰逢其时的重要访问。在中欧建交35周年之际，欧盟一体化进程随着《里斯本条约》实施而迈向新的阶段之时，巴罗佐主席率新一届欧委会部分委员访华，并出席上海世博会开幕式，不仅彰显了欧盟领导人的战略远见，也向外界发出了积极强烈的政治信号。双方领导人进行了极富建设性的坦诚、深入对话，取得了许多重要共识。双方均表示将继续相互支持彼此发展道路，坚持从战略高度与长远角度看待和发展中欧关系，加强双边合作，深化人文交流，共同应对金融危机、气候变化、能源安全等全球性挑战。我坚信，此访必将成为未来中欧更紧密战略伙伴关系的一个新起点。Last week, President Barroso paid a successful visit to China.The visit is well-suited on the occasion of the 35th anniversary of our diplomatic ties, when the EU is entering a new stage of development with the implementation of the Lisbon Treaty.The visit of President Barroso and commissioners, and their attendance at the opening ceremony of the Shanghai World Expo not only demonstrated the strategic vision of the EU leadership, but also send out a strong positive political message.Leaders from the two sides had very constructive, open and in-depth dialogues, and reached many important consensus.Both pledged to continue to support each other, committed to viewing and developing China-EU relations from a strategic height and a long-term perspective, strengthen bilateral cooperation, deepen cultural exchanges, and jointly tackle global challenges such as financial crisis, climate change, and energy security.I strongly believe that this visit will certainly serve as a new starting point for our closer strategic partnership in the future.女士们，先生们！Ladies and Gentlemen, 邓小平先生曾说过：“欧洲和亚洲实际上是一个大陆，你们在西边，我们在东边，把我们联系在一起的因素比人们想象到的要多得多。”中欧关系具有深厚的战略、政治、经济和文化基础，在当今国际形势继续发生深刻复杂变化以及中欧各自发展进入关键阶段的新形势下，中欧关系完全可以发展得更好，更加具有活力，更加富有成果。为此我们应：

Mr.Deng Xiaoping used to remark and I quote, “Europe and Asia are in fact on a same continent.You sit in the west, and we are by the east.There are far more things that connect us than we could ever imagine”, unquote.Given our profound strategic, political, economic, and cultural ties, as well as the complex changes in the international environment, I see no reason that we could not get to a better place for our bilateral ties of greater vitality and achievement as we go through the important period of our respective development.In this connection, we should live up to the following goals.—坚持中欧关系的连续性，始终从战略高度和长远角度把握中欧关系，以更广阔的全球视野和与时俱进的思维方式，审视和处理双边关系。

We should commit ourselves to the continued development of our relations from an overarching and strategic angle with global vision and a new manner of thinking.—坚持中欧关系的稳定性，始终相互尊重，平等相待，加强相互理解、信任和支持，求同存异，重视并妥善处理彼此重大利益和关切。

We should commit ourselves to the steady development of our relations by respecting each other, treating each other as equals, giving each other stronger support, and by increasing mutual understanding and trust.We need to seek common ground while putting aside differences, and properly accommodate each other's major interests and concerns.—坚持中欧关系的战略性，始终坚持互利共赢，共同发展，合作应对各种全球性问题和挑战，促进世界的和平、稳定与发展。

We should commit ourselves to strategic China-EU relations of mutually benefit and win-win progress.We need cooperation to address global challenges and promote world peace, stability, and development.女士们，先生们！Ladies and Gentlemen, 抚今追昔，我们在为过去35年中欧关系取得的成就感到骄傲的同时，更有理由对未来35年的中欧关系充满信心和期待。我们愿与欧方共同努力，共创中欧关系更加美好的未来！Looking back, we are filled with pride of what we have achieved in our relations over the past thirty-five years.Looking ahead, we are full of confidence and expectations of what to be achieved in the coming thirty-five years.Let us join hands and work for a brighter future!谢谢大家。Thank you!现在，我荣幸地邀请巴罗佐主席共同为中欧建交35周年纪念封揭幕。

Now, I have the honor to invite President Barroso to join me in unveiling the commemorative envelop for the 35th anniversary of diplomatic relations between China and the EU.
