第二篇：駐英大使孔子學堂致辭

中國駐英國大使劉曉明在英國圣瑪麗小學孔子課堂簽字和揭牌儀式上的講話 2010年10月21日，倫敦圣瑪麗小學

Remarks by H.E.Ambassador Liu Xiaoming at the Signing and Inauguration Ceremony of the Confucius Classroom at the St Mary's Primary School 21 October 2010, St Mary’s Bryanston Square CE Primary School, London

為發展中國與世界各國的友好關系，增進世界各國人民對中國語言文化的理解，為各國漢語學習者提供方便、優良的學習條件，中國國家對外漢語教學領導小組辦公室將在世界上有需求、有條件的若干國家建設以開展漢語教學為主要活動內容的 “孔子學院”，并在中國北京設立“孔子學院總部”。

尊敬的倫敦南岸大學副校長Beverley Jullien女士，尊敬的西敏寺市議員Nick Yarker先生，尊敬的圣瑪麗小學董事會主席Clark先生，尊敬的圣瑪麗小學校長Peter Hadfield先生，尊敬的樂愛妹參贊，女士們，先生們，同學們：

Ms Beverley Jullien, Councillor Nick Yarker, Mr Len Clark, Mr Peter Hadfield, Counsellor Le Aimei, Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and girls, 我很高興出席今天圣瑪麗小學孔子課堂的簽字和揭牌儀式。我謹代表中國駐英國大使館對圣瑪麗小學孔子課堂的設立表示熱烈的祝賀。

It gives me great pleasure to attend the inauguration of the Confucius Classroom at St Mary’s Bryanston Square CE Primary School.I wish to offer my warm congratulations to all of you.我就任中國駐英大使以來，曾經到訪英國的許多學校，包括大學和中學，今天是我第一次走進英國的小學。圣瑪麗小學與中國有著特殊淵源，因為中國大使館一些外交官的子女就在圣瑪麗小學上學。他們在這里學習英語和各種知識，與老師、同學們相處得十分融洽，學習非常愉快。I have been to many secondary schools and universities in this country since my arrival in London.But St Mary’s is the first primary school I have ever visited.It has a special bond with the Chinese Embassy, as some of my colleagues’ children study here.I’m glad to say that they are enjoying their time at St Mary’s, learning English and other subjects and making friends with teachers and classmates.我曾不止一次地問使館的孩子們：英國小學好，還是中國小學好？結果，剛來的孩子都說中國的好，來的時間長的孩子都說英國的好。我相信，隨著他們長大，他們會說，都好。圣瑪麗小學將給他們留下一段終生難忘的美好回憶。在此，我要對西敏寺市及圣瑪麗小學長期以來給予中國駐英使館的支持和幫助表示衷心的感謝。

I once asked them which they like better, attending school here or in China.I got mixed answers.Those children who have newly arrived prefer their old schools in China, while others who have been here longer liked their British schools more.Maybe as they grow up, they would like both.I would like to thank the City of Westminster and St Mary’s for their longstanding support and assistance to the Chinese Embassy and for providing kids of the Embassy a wonderful and memorable place to study in.今天，圣瑪麗小學與中國的關系又加深了一層，倫敦南岸大學中醫孔子學院在圣瑪麗小學設立了孔子課堂。這是目前在英國設立的第54個孔子課堂，也是倫敦南岸大學中醫孔子學院設立的第7個孔子課堂。借此機會，我也愿對倫敦南岸大學多年來為推廣漢語教學、增進中英了解作出的積極努力，表示贊賞和感謝。

Today the bonds between St Mary’s and China have been further strengthened thanks to the new Confucius Classroom set up by St Mary’s and the Confucius Institute for Traditional Chinese Medicine at LSBU, the London South Bank University.This is the 54th Confucius Classroom in the UK and the 7th one established by the LSBU Confucius Institute.I must thank the LSBU for its consistent efforts to promote mandarin learning in Britain and to increase mutual understanding between China and the UK.孔子課堂為什么在英國這么受歡迎？其作用和意義又是什么呢？我認為主要有三點： Why are the Confucius Classrooms so popular in the UK? I believe this is mainly because they serve the following purposes: 第一是教授中文。在中國，英語已列入從小學至大學的必修課。同樣，在英國，“漢語熱”近年來也是持續升溫。英國超過500所中小學開設了中文課程，部分學校甚至將中文列入了必修課。去年9月，英國政府將中文列入了GCSE的正式科目。孔子課堂具有專業、優質的中文師資力量，可以很好地滿足學生們學習中文的需要。

First, teaching mandarin.In China, English learning is now compulsory from the very first year in primary school right to the university level.I’m also glad to see an emerging “mandarin fever” in this country.Mandarin is now being taught in over 500 primary and secondary schools, and some of them have made it a compulsory course.In September 2009, the British government made Chinese another GCSE subject.The Confucius Classrooms offer high quality and professional mandarin teachers, who are able to meet growing needs of learning mandarin.第二是介紹中國文化。語言不僅是一項交流工具，它更是一把鑰匙、一雙翅膀，學習掌握了它，你就能打開不同文化的大門，飛越不同文化間的障礙。中國的文化，既古老、又現代，古老是因為它具有深厚的歷史積淀，現代是因為它與時俱進。可以說，中國文化就如同一本引人入勝的書籍。

Second, introducing Chinese culture.Language is not only a means of communication, but also gives learners an extra pair of wings to fly over cultural barriers.The Chinese culture is both old and new, old in terms of its profound roots in our time-honoured history, and new in the sense of China’s fast development and change.It is like a book that makes very interesting reading.第三是增進人民間友誼。友誼建立在了解的基礎之上。孔子課堂深植于英國的中小學校，在英國的年輕一代灑下了中英友誼的種子，其影響是長遠的，必將促進兩國人民的世代友好。Third, deepening the friendship between our peoples.Friendship is based on mutual understanding.The presence of Confucius Classrooms at British schools will go a long way to strengthening the friendship between our peoples and will sow the seeds of China-UK friendship in the hearts of the younger generation.孔子曰：知之者不如好之者，好之者不如樂之者。希望圣瑪麗小學的同學們在孔子課堂里，學習（LEARN）、喜歡(LIKE)和熱愛(LOVE)中國語言和文化，感受和享受其中的快樂，更希望你們長大后做中英友好的傳承人和中英合作的促進者。

As Confucius said, “Knowledge is good to learn, better to love, and best to enjoy”.I would encourage students at St Mary’s to learn, love and enjoy the Chinese language and culture, and as you grow up, to carry on the friendship and cooperation between our two countries.最后，為了使同學們能夠更好地學習中文，了解中國，樂愛妹參贊和我今天特向圣瑪麗小學孔子課堂贈送電視機、DVD機和一些介紹中國的書籍和光盤，希望你們會喜歡。

Last but not least, Counselor Le Aimei and I would like to present the Confucius Classroom with a TV set, a DVD player and some books and DVDs about China.Hopefully they will make your mandarin and Chinese culture lessons easier and even more interesting.謝謝！Thank you.

第三篇：駐英國大使“全球經濟獎”招待會致辭

駐英國大使劉曉明在香港第一東方投資集團董事長諸立力獲“全球經濟獎”招待會上的致辭 2011年6月21日，英國倫敦亞洲之家

Remarks by Ambassador Liu Xiaoming at the Reception in Honour of Mr Victor Chu, Winner of the 2011 Global Economy Prize of the Kiel Institute 21 June 2011, Asia House, London

尊敬的亞洲之家主席博伊德爵士，尊敬的諸立力先生：

Sir John Boyd, Mr Victor Chu，很高興出席亞洲之家為諸立力先生榮獲“全球經濟獎”舉行的慶祝招待會。

Today we are gathered here to congratulate Victor Chu on winning the 2011 Global Economy Prize of the Kiel Institute.諸立力先生的名字在漢語里發音是疊音-“DOUBLE Li”，即”雙Li“。由此我想談一下另外幾對與諸先生有關的“雙”。

For those of you who can speak mandarin, you may find that the pronunciation of Victor's full name is quite different in mandarin as in Cantonese.Instead of Lap Lik Chu in Cantonese, we call him Li Li Zhu in mandarin, which repeats the word of Li.So he is ”Double Li“.This reminded me of other things associated with ”doubles" that I would like to share with you.首先，我要以“雙重身份”祝賀諸立力先生獲得基爾世界經濟研究所頒發的“全球經濟獎”。第一個身份是官方身份，作為中國駐英大使，我要祝賀他成為第一個獲此殊榮的中國人，他是中國的驕傲；第二個身份是非官方身份，作為諸先生的朋友，我已經記不得曾經多少次與他聚首暢談，他的卓識使每次交談都令我受益匪淺。

Firstly, I am here today wearing double hats.I am first of all the Chinese Ambassador to the UK, and I am particularly proud that Mr Chu has become the first Chinese to win this prize.I am also here as a friend of Victor.I lost count of how many times we have met, but I do remember the interesting, informative and enjoyable conversations we have had each time.I have benefited a lot from his insight and vision.其次，我要祝賀諸先生的“雙重成就”。第一個成就,他是一位成功的企業家，他創立的香港第一東方投資集團經過20多年的發展，管理的資產龐大，執業界之牛耳。第二個成就,他是一位出色的社會活動家，他不僅關注金融和投資領域，而且高度重視跨文化和國際交流，努力擔當中西方溝通了解的橋梁，不遺余力，矢志不渝。

Secondly, I wish to congratulate Mr Chu on his double achievements.His first achievement is as a successful entrepreneur.The Hong Kong-based First Eastern Investment Group he founded and capably chairs has, in the past two decades and more, developed into one of the leading investment companies in China, managing huge assets worldwide.But let us not forget that Mr Chu is also active in many other areas.He takes a keen interest in inter-cultural and international dialogue and exchanges, working tirelessly to build a bridge of understanding between China and the Western world.第三，我要感謝諸先生為中國經濟發展所做的“雙重貢獻”。第一個貢獻，他促進了對華投資。他倡導“中國直接投資”理念，第一東方投資集團在華投資項目高達數百個，幫助了中國企業發展壯大。特別值得一提的是，去年第一東方投資集團又投資1億美元，參與組建總額達5億美元的“中英基金”，專門支持英國的中小企業，幫助它們進入迅猛發展的中國市場。第二個貢獻，他為中國的對外開放做出了許多積極努力。他成功推動中國國有企業在香港上市，促進了中國資本市場的成熟發展；他積極提議夏季達沃斯論壇設在了中國，使世界更加關注中國，同時中國的聲音更能被世界聽到。

Thirdly, I take this opportunity to thank Mr Chu for his double contributions to the Chinese economy.His first contribution is in the area of promoting investments into China.His First Eastern Investment Group manages hundreds of projects in China to help Chinese businesses grow in strength.What is particularly worth mentioning is a 100 million US dollar investment by First Eastern last year as part of the 500 million US dollar China-UK fund to help British SMEs better explore the fast-growing Chinese market.His second contribution is in the area of greater openness of the Chinese economy.He helped Chinese state-owned enterprises to go public in Hong Kong.This is conducive to the growth of the Chinese capital markets.He actively called for the Summer Davos to be held in China.This initiative has created another platform for dialogue and interaction between China and the world.諸先生榮獲“全球經濟獎”名至實歸。我再次向他表示熱烈祝賀。

Let me conclude by saying that as far as I can see, Mr Victor Li Li Chu is a most deserving winner of this prestigious prize.Once again my warm congratulations.謝謝。

Thank you.

第四篇：2011駐印度大使國慶62周年招待會講話 中英對照

駐印度大使國慶62周年招待會講話

2011

駐印度大使張炎在慶祝中華人民共和國成立62周年招待會上的講話 2011年9月27日，印度新德里

Speech by H.E.Ambassador Zhang Yan on the Occasion of 62nd Anniversary of the Founding of the People's Republic of China ITC Maurya, New Delhi, September 27, 2011 尊敬的印度外交部東亞事務秘書桑吉·辛格先生，使節們，女士們、先生們：

Hon.Shri Sanjay Singh, Secretary for East Affairs of MEA, Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen, 今晚我們歡聚一堂，慶祝中華人民共和國成立62周年。我和我的同事們對你們的到來表示熱烈歡迎，共同分享節日的喜慶，對你們長期以來支持中印關系發展表示感謝。

Tonight we are assembled here to celebrate the 62nd Anniversary of the Founding of the People’s Republic of China.My colleagues and I warmly welcome you to share the festivity with us and thank you for your long-standing support to the development of China-India relations.對中印關系而言，2011年是緊張忙碌而成果豐碩的一年。胡錦濤主席與辛格總理今年早些時候在中國舉行的金磚國家領導人會議期間進行了富有 成果的會見。昨天，溫家寶總理在北京會見了出席中印戰略經濟對話首次會議的印度計劃委員會副主席阿魯瓦利亞一行。中印各層面頻繁互訪已成為雙邊關系的重要 特征。在國際與地區事務上，雙方保持著密切溝通與協調。今年6月，印度軍方代表團成功訪華。這些交往極大地促進了兩國互信與合作。2011 is a hectic and productive year for our bilateral relations.Early this year, President Hu Jintao and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had a fruitful meeting during the BRICS Summit in China.Yesterday, Premier Wen Jiabao met Indian Deputy Chairman of Planning Commission Montek Singh Ahluwalia who is attending the first ever China-India Strategic Economic Dialogue in Beijing.Frequent exchanges of visits at various levels have become an important feature of our relations.On international and regional issues both sides maintain close consultation and coordination.In June of this year, an Indian military delegation paid a successful visit to China.All these interactions have greatly enhanced the mutual trust and cooperation.在經濟領域，盡管全球經濟前景不明朗，中印雙邊貿易仍保持強勁增長勢頭。投資與金融領域合作不斷擴大。中國工商銀行在孟買開設首家分行。中印首席執行官論壇正在醞釀中，旨將中印經貿合作提升至新的水平。

In the economic field, the bilateral trade has maintained a strong momentum of growth in spite of the global economic uncertainty.Cooperation in the investment and financial sectors is expanding rapidly.The Industrial and Commercial Bank of China opened its first branch in Mumbai.The China and India CEO Forum is in the making, aiming at taking China-India economic cooperation to a new height.今年是“中印交流年”，文化與人文交流成為重點。今年四月，“感知中國·四川周”在印度成功舉辦。印度500人青年團正在中國進行訪問，溫家寶總理幾天前親切會見了全體代表團成員。此外，中國云南省雜技團正在印度巡回演出，展示中國豐富的傳統文化。This year is declared as China-India Year of Exchange with emphasis on culture and People-to-People exchanges.Experience China--Sichuan Week was successfully held last April.A 500-member Indian youth delegation is currently visiting China and they were warmly received by Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao in Beijing few days ago.Besides, an acrobatic troupe of Yunan Province is also touring India recently to showcase China’s rich traditional culture.中國高度重視中印戰略合作伙伴關系的發展，將繼續致力于增進兩國互信，促進互利合作，妥善處理分歧。正如兩國領導人在許多場合所強調的那樣，健康而富有活力的中印關系不僅造福于兩國和兩國人民，而且有利于亞洲乃至世界的和平與發展。

China attaches great importance to the development of China-India Strategic Cooperative Partnership and will continue to deepen mutual trust, promote mutually beneficial cooperation, and properly handle differences.As leaders of two countries stated on many occasions that a healthy and vibrant relationship between China and India is not only a fortune to the Chinese and Indian people, but also a blessing to the peace and development of Asia and the world.女士們，先生們： Ladies and Gentlemen, 中國始終堅持走和平發展道路，致力于維護世界和平，促進共同發展。在21世紀第二個十年伊始、中國共產黨成立90周年之際，中國再次向全世 界莊嚴宣示和平發展的戰略選擇，這不僅是中國為了實現現代化和國家富強，也是為了建立持久和平與共同繁榮的和諧世界作出更大貢獻。中國的發展離不開世界，世界的繁榮與穩定也離不開中國。事實證明，中國選擇和平發展的道路是正確的，我們也將始終堅持這個選擇。

China all along pursues a path of peaceful development and is committed to upholding world peace and promoting common development for all countries.At the beginning of the second decade of the 21st century and on the occasion of the 90th anniversary of the founding of the Chinese Communist Party, China has declared solemnly again to the world that peaceful development is a strategic choice made by China to realize its modernization, make itself strong and prosperous, and make more contribution to the building of a harmonious world of durable peace and common prosperity.China cannot develop itself in isolation from the rest of the world, and global prosperity and stability cannot be maintained without china.Facts have proved that it is correct for China to take the path of peaceful development and therefore China will firmly stick to it.謝謝！Thank you!

第五篇：駐英大使劉小明劍橋致辭

駐英國大使劉曉明在英國劍橋大學的演講

成功的道路，全面的發展

——駐英國大使劉曉明在英國劍橋大學的演講

英國劍橋大學嘉治商學院

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 February 2011 尊敬的劍橋大學校長博里塞維奇爵士，老師們，同學們：

Vice Chancellor Sir Leszek Borysiewicz, Faculty members, Students，很高興應博里塞維奇校長的邀請訪問劍橋大學并作演講。

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.這是我出使英國后第一次來到劍橋，但我對劍橋絲毫沒有陌生感。

This is my first visit to Cambridge as Chinese Ambassador to the UK.Yet Cambridge is no stranger to me.雖然我到英國后先去了牛津，但我知道“牛津出首相、劍橋出諾貝爾獎”這句佳話，知道劍橋大學校友獲得了88個諾貝爾獎，相當于英國所獲諾獎的總和，在世界所有大學中保持最高紀錄。

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.我最早相識劍橋，是因為徐志摩先生在這里留下了《再別康橋》這樣的千古絕唱，也是因為李約瑟博士在這里寫就了鴻篇巨著《中國科學技術史》。

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.我第一次走進“劍橋”，是29年前我在美國塔夫茨大學弗萊徹學院讀書的時候。當時弗萊徹學院由塔夫茨大學和哈佛大學共同管理，兩院校圖書館使用統一索引，我經常去位于“劍橋”的哈佛大學圖書館查閱資料。

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，我走進“正宗”的劍橋，這既是一次工作性質的訪問，推動劍橋大學與中國的教育合作，也是一次個人的精神尋旅，品味劍橋800年的文化積淀。當然，我也愿就大家關心的中國話題，與你們交流討論。

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，根據中日兩國的最新GDP統計數字，中國正式超過日本成為了世界第二大經濟體。世界上各大媒體都將此作為熱點新聞進行報道。世界再次聚焦中國，圍繞中國問題的討論一直方興未艾，現在再次升溫。我總結了一下人們熱議的幾個問題：一是中國成為世界第二說明了什么？二是中國是否很快會成為世界第一？三是中國能否持續高速發展？四是中國發展對世界意味什么？今天，我想就這些問題談談我的看法。

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，中國成為世界第二大經濟體說明什么？我認為，它說明了中國發展道路的成功。

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.中國為什么會取得如此成功？中國成功的經驗是什么？中國成功靠走適合自己國情的道路。一個十三億人口的大國，一個有五千年文明歷史的古國，該走什么樣的道路才能發展，教科書上沒有現成的答案，歷史上也沒有可以參考的先例。但中國人“摸著石頭過河”，牢牢把握自己的國情，不斷探索實踐，開拓創新，借鑒吸取世界各國有益經驗，實現了天翻地覆的變化。

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.中國成功靠“改革開放”。開放，不僅是經濟上的對外開放，從封閉半封閉到全方位、多層次、寬領域對外開放，更是思想頭腦的解放，社會的自由寬松，政府的公開透明。改革，不僅是改革經濟制度，將高度集中的計劃經濟體制改革為充滿生機和活力的社會主義市場經濟體制，也是政治、社會、文化的全面改革和建設。

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 diverse 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.西方有些人認為，中國只搞經濟改革，不搞政治改革。這是對中國全面改革的一種誤解。事實上，30多年來，中國的經濟體制改革每推進一步，政治體制改革也深化一步。人民代表大會制度、中國共產黨領導的多黨合作和政治協商制度，在中國政治生活中的地位和作用越來越大。30多年來，中國民主法制建設不斷加強，堅持依法治國，幾千年形成的人治社會正在向法治社會轉變。30多年來，中國人權事業有了大發展，我們將尊重和保障人權寫入了憲法，依法保障全體社會成員平等參與、平等發展的權利，同時加強國際人權合作。

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.歷史上，中國并非沒有嘗試過西方式的民主，但都并未給中國帶來繁榮和富強。今天，我們找到了一條適合自己發展的道路，建立了有中國特色的民主制度，我們有什么理由動搖？有什么理由折騰？

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?

第二個問題，中國是否已在坐二望一，很快超過美國？回答這個問題前，我們不妨看以下幾對關鍵詞：

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“總量”和“人均”。盡管中國經濟總量成了世界第二，去年達到5.8萬億美元，但人均GDP只有4300美元，仍排在世界百位左右，離中等發達國家相距甚遠，僅占英國的1/9，美國的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”與“內地”及“城市”與“農村”。中國的沿海很發達，城市很繁榮，但是中國西部經濟仍很落后，而且中國的城鎮化率僅有46%，城鄉居民收入比高達3.23：1。我曾在中國最貧困的省份之一甘肅擔任兩年省長助理，對此深有感受。甘肅地處大西北，自然條件惡劣，沙漠化對當地人民的生存構成了嚴峻挑戰，經濟發展困難很大。許多農村的孩子們沒有電腦，更從來沒有上過互聯網。很多孩子在完成國家9年義務階段教育后，由于經濟原因不得不中止學業。

“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”與“創造”。中國是制造業大國，但很多產品只有加工、封裝等勞動力密集型環節在中國完成，研發設計、關鍵部件和市場營銷都在國外，中國處在國際產業鏈的末端。中國出口商品中90%是貼牌生產，每部手機售價的20%、計算機售價的30%、數控機床售價的20%到40%，都要支付給國外專利持有者。從“中國制造”到“中國創造”還有很長的路要走。

“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”與“集約”。有數據顯示，中國單位GDP的能耗是國際水平的三至四倍，是英國的八倍。中國消耗了全球46％的鋼鐵、16％的能源、52％的水泥，但僅創造了全球8％左右的GDP。中國經濟發展效率還有待大幅提升，需要從“粗放型”向“集約型”發展。

“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，中國經濟總量雖然已居世界第二，但人均水平和GDP質量還遠沒有達到發達國家的水平。我們不是“謙虛”，也不是“虛偽”，更不是想逃避“責任”，而是中國仍然是一個不折不扣的發展中國家。集中精力搞建設，一心一意謀發展，是我們長期的優先任務。我們不追求“虛名”，要的是實實在在的國強和民富。

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.第三個問題，中國已經高速行進了30多年，今后還能持續快速發展嗎？

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

回答是肯定的。中國還處在工業化中期階段和城鎮化加速上升階段，中國仍需要大量的基礎設施投資，需要在未來20年安置3億多人口從農村遷移到城市，需要滿足人民消費結構從溫飽向小康升級換代的需求，需要實現西部地區向東部地區的發展水平看齊，因此中國經濟并不缺乏動力，仍有很大的發展空間，我們有充分理由保持樂觀。

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.中國去年底制定了“十二五”規劃，即將在下月交由全國人民代表大會審議，這將是未來5年中國發展的重要藍圖。

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.我們要對中國經濟結構進行戰略性調整。我們將努力擴大內需，促進經濟增長向依靠消費、投資、出口協調拉動轉變。我們將加強農業，提升制造業核心競爭力，發展戰略性新興產業，加快發展服務業，促進經濟增長向依靠第一、第二、第三產業協同帶動轉變。我們將統籌城鄉發展，促進區域良性互動、協調發展。

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.我們要積極推進科技進步和創新，加快建設創新型國家。正如鄧小平先生曾經指出的，科技是第一生產力。中國今后的發展必須向主要依靠科技進步、勞動者素質提高、管理創新轉變。

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.我們要更好地保障和改善民生。發展經濟，歸根結底是為了人民的幸福。我們將完善保障和改善民生的制度安排，把促進就業放在優先位置，推進基本公共服務均等化，加大收入分配調節力度，使發展成果惠及全體人民。

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.我們要建設資源節約型、環境友好型社會。中國人均GDP要向西方國家看齊，但人均能源消費絕不能趕超發達國家，因為我們生活的地球實在承受不起。我們不能走西方國家工業化的老路。我們要節約能源，降低溫室氣體排放強度，發展循環經濟，推廣低碳技術，積極應對氣候變化，促進經濟社會發展與人口資源環境相協調，走可持續發展之路。

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.第四個問題，中國發展了，對世界意味著什么？是福還是禍？是機遇還是威脅？我們不妨看三點：

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:

一是中國給世界和平帶來威脅了嗎？中國奉行獨立自主的和平外交政策，莊嚴地向世界承諾永遠不稱霸，永遠不搞擴張；主張不干涉別國內部事務和談判解決國際爭端；倡導互信、互利、平等、協作的新安全觀。中國是聯合國安理會常任理事國中派出維和人員最多的國家，累計參與24項聯合國維和行動，派出上萬名維和人員；中國向索馬里海域派出護航艦隊，與多國艦隊一道打擊海盜，維護國際水域的安全；中國大力倡導朝核問題六方會談，努力維護半島和地區的和平穩定。無論從中國的外交思想，還是外交行動來看，中國都是世界和平的維護者、穩定的促進者。

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.二是中國給世界經濟帶來威脅了嗎？金融危機以來，中國為全球經濟增長提供了重要支撐。2010年發達國家經濟仍步履維艱，在全球有效需求不足的情況下，中國扮演著向全球輸出總需求的重要角色。歐盟去年對華出口增長31.9%，英國則增長42%。去年中國經濟繼續保持兩位數增長，對世界經濟增長貢獻率達到20%。今后10年，中國將繼續奉行互利共贏的開放戰略，市場對外開放程度將進一步提高，在國際貿易中的比重會不斷上升，從國際市場的進口仍會迅速增加。這些對世界各國來說，只會是巨大的發展機遇。

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.三是中國對現行國際體系構成威脅了嗎？中國作為一個負責任的大國，是國際體系的參與者、建設者和貢獻者。我們與發達國家和新興經濟體就促進世界經濟金融治理廣泛開展合作，共同倡導加強G20機制；我們加強與發展中國家的傳統友誼，幫助經濟開發和實現減貧，過去兩年里中國向其他發展中國家的貸款已經超過了世界銀行；我們支持、倡導并踐行多邊主義，推動國際關系民主化，積極參與區域合作進程，努力促進國際體系更加有效地應對氣候變化、能源和資源、糧食安全、恐怖主義等全球性挑戰。

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.總之，中國的發展對世界是福不是禍，是機遇不是威脅。世界對中國不應感到擔憂，更不應感到恐懼。美國前總統弗蘭克林·羅斯福說的好：“我們唯一恐懼的就是恐懼本身。”

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”.老師們、同學們，Faculty members and students，800多年來，劍橋大學秉承“此地乃啟蒙之所和智慧之源”（拉丁語：Hinc lucem et pocula sacra）的校訓，努力探索世界，不斷追求真理。半個多世紀前，李約瑟博士以其睿智打開了中國古代科技的歷史寶庫，重拾了偉大的中華文明。今天，當你們放眼中國，你們會發現中國正在走一條前人沒有走過的道路，中國的實踐可能超出了以往人們的知識積累。面對今天的中國這一豐富的寶藏，我衷心地期望劍橋大學的學子們遵循你們的校訓，不斷探索，大力挖掘，成為英國乃至世界范圍內研究當代中國的領軍者。

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.謝謝。下面我愿回答大家的提問。

Thank you and now I would like to take questions from you.
