Six-party Talks that were held in Beijing this past August.And China continues to play an important role in trying to bring North Korea into a serious diplomatic process.,参考译文：中国在六方会谈扮演重要角色 今年八月，中国主办并全面参与了在北京召开的六方会谈。中国继续扮演重要角色，力图将朝鲜纳入正式的外交轨道。,In the Six-party Talks,all of the regional stakeholders including our alliesJapan and the Republic of Korea,including Russia as well are at the table putting our common interests forward.在六方会谈期间，有关各方，包括我们的盟国-日本和韩国，也包括俄罗斯-都坐在谈判桌前，提出我们的共同利益。,Many said it wouldnt work.Many said it couldnt be done.Many said that President Bush should abandon the desire for a multi-party arrangement and just talk bilaterally with the North Koreans.They said North Korea would never agree to anything else and that China would not play a role in expanding the dialogue.But they were wrong.China did play a role.许多人说这行不通。许多人说这不可能。还有许多人说，布什总统应放弃多方会谈的希望而只与朝鲜进行双边会谈。他们说朝鲜决不会同意任何别的条件，中国在扩大对话方面不会发挥作用。但事实上他们错了。中国确实发挥了作用。,In March of this year I met with my Chinese counterpart,at that time Foreign Minister Tang,and I reinforce President Bushs message that China needed to rise to its responsibilities in dealing with this regional problem.今年三月，我会见了当时的中国外长唐家璇。我重申了布什总统的意思：中国需要在处理这一地区问题上承担起它的责任。,The very next day the Vice Premier,who is here with us today,flew to North Korea and delivered that message,that there would be no alternative to multilateral talks in which all countries of the region would be fully involved,China included.I want to then the Vice Premier again for the important contribution that he made in bringing those talks about.就在第二天，中国副总理，他今天与我们一起，飞抵朝鲜并传递了这一信息，即：除了举行包括中国在内的由该地区所有国家完全参与的多方会谈，别无选择。我要再次感谢副总理为促成这些会谈所做的重要贡献。,A China that works constructively with us in this manner,along with other regional partners such as Japan,the Republic of Korea,Russia,is a China that inspires confidence in its own people and gains trust from the rest of the world.一个以这种方式与我们及该地区的合作伙伴如日本、韩国、俄罗斯进行建设性合作的中国，是一个能激发民族自信心并赢得世界其他民族信任的中国。,What changes have happened in China in these ten years?China has come a long way in reform and opening-up.Its economy has grown,peoples lives improved,and the landscape of the country changed enormously.Chinas ties,interactions,exchanges and cooperation with the rest of the world have increased notably in breadth and depth.But let me underscore that we are still a developing country.,What you have seen in Beijing or Shanghai cannot represent the whole country.Chinas per capita GDP ranks only the 104th in the world.China has a big population and weak economic foundation.Its development is uneven between urban and rural areas and among regions.It has an unsound industrial structure.And its productivity is not yet developed.These challenges still remain.,In our economic and social development,we face many thorny problems seldom seen anywhere else in the world.None of them is easy to solve in a country with 1.3 billion people.Some people are lavishing praises on China and describing my country as a developed one,even equal to the United States.My friends,please do not buy what they say.This is nothing but a myth!,这十年我们中国发生了什么样的变化呢？中国改革深化了，开放扩大了，经济发展了，人民生活水平提高了，国家的面貌大大改观了，与此同时，中国同外部世界的联系、沟通、交流、合作显著扩大和加深了。但我要强调的是，我们还是一个发展中国家。一些外国朋友看到的北京上海不是中国的全部。,从全国看，我们的人均GDP还排在世界104位，人口多、底子薄，城乡和地区发展不平衡，产业结构不合理，生产力不发达状况没有根本改变。我们的经济社会发展面临众多世所罕见的难题，哪一问题在13亿人口的大国解决起来都很不容易。现在世界上有人给我们戴很多高帽子，说什么我们已经是发达国家了，很快与美国平起平坐了，等等。朋友们，你们不要相信，那是神话！,We are well aware that it would take several generations hard work or even longer before we can achieve modernization.We still need to deepen reform,further open up,and learn from and assimilate,in a modest manner,all the fine achievements of other countries,including those of ASEAN countries.We also need to develop long-term mutually-beneficial cooperation with ASEAN and other countries.,我们自己很清楚，中国要真正实现现代化还需要几代人甚至更长时间的艰苦努力，还需要不断深化改革、扩大开放，虚心学习、借鉴和吸收国外包括东盟各国在内的一切优秀文明成果。还要长期发展同包括东盟国家在内的世界各国的互利合作。,Lets look at Chinas history.Does China have the tradition and culture of aggression and expansion?I have noted many people across the world say no.China did not seek expansion or hegemony even at the time when it was the most powerful country in the world with 30%of the global GDP a few hundred years ago.Many of you know about Zheng Hes voyages to the Western Seas.,Leading the most powerful fleet in the world,Zheng He made seven voyages to the Western Seas,bringing there porcelain,silk and tea,rather than bloodshed,plundering or colonialism.They also brought those countries tranquility and wellbeing by helping them fight pirates.To this day,Zheng He is still remembered as an envoy of friendship and peace,and his merits are widely recognized by people of Southeast Asia,including Indonesia.,历史地看，中国有对外侵略扩张的传统和文化吗？我注意到世界上有许多人说，没有。几百年前中国即使在最强大，GDP占到世界30%的时候，也没有去搞扩张，搞霸权。大家都知道郑和下西洋的故事。,当时，郑和率领着世界上最强大的船队七下西洋，带去的不是血与火、掠夺与殖民，而是瓷器、是丝绸、是茶叶。他们还帮助沿途的国家剿灭海盗，给这些国家带来安宁和福祉。东南亚包括印尼人民至今还在追念郑和的功德，称颂这位友谊与和平的使者。,2009年是新世纪以来我国经济发展最 为困难的一年。去年这个时候，国际金融危机还在扩散蔓延，世界经济深度衰退，我国经济受到严重冲击，出口大幅下降，不少企业经营困难，有的甚至停产倒闭，失业人员大量增加，农民工大批返乡，经济增速陡然下滑。在异常困难的情况下，全国各族人民在中国共产党的坚强领导下，坚定信心，迎难而上，顽强拼搏，从容 应对国际金融危机冲击，在世界率先实现经济回升向好，改革开放和社会主义现代化建设取得新的重大成就。,The year 2009 was the most difficult year for our countrys economic development since the beginning of the new century.This time last year the global financial crisis was still spreading,and the world economy was in a deep recession.Our economy was severely affected;our exports decreased significantly;a large number of enterprises had operating difficulties,and some even suspended production or closed down;the number of unemployed people increased significantly;many migrant workers had to return to their home villages;and the pace of our economic growth suddenly slowed down.,In these unusually difficult circumstances,the people of all our ethnic groups fortified their confidence,tackled difficulties head on,worked tenaciously,and responded calmly to the impact of the global financial crisis under the firm leadership of the Communist Party of China(CPC).Our economy was the first in the world to have made a turnaround,and we made major new achievements in reform and opening up as well as socialist modernization.,过去的一年，极不平凡，令人振奋。我们隆重 庆祝新中国成立60周年。抚今追昔，伟大祖国的辉煌成就极大地激发了全国人民的自信心和自豪感，极大地增强了中华民族的向心力和凝聚力，极大地提升了我国 的国际地位和影响力，必将激励我们在中国特色社会主义道路上继续奋勇前进。,The past year was truly extraordinary and inspiring.We held a grand celebration of the 60th anniversary of the founding of New China.The outstanding achievements we made in that time have greatly boosted the confidence and pride of the people,strengthened the cohesiveness of the Chinese nation,and raised Chinas international standing and influence.All this definitely encourages us to continue to forge ahead on the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics.,
