李克强总理演讲的“译”术

总理在第十届亚欧首脑会议上谈亚欧合作

*克强语录

中国古代思想家荀子说，“积土成山，风雨兴焉”。意大利航海家哥伦布曾经说过，“只要我们能把希望的大陆牢牢装在心中，风浪就一定能被我们战胜”。

Just as the ancient Chinese thinker Xun Zi (Hsun Tsu) remarked, “When earth piles up into mountains, wind and rain will originate thereof.” The Italian navigator Christopher Columbus also observed, “As long as we hold the land of hope close to our heart, we can surely brave the storm.”

亚欧大陆也是世界上发展机遇最多、潜力最大的大陆。亚欧会议创立18年来，成员国间政治对话不断加深，务实合作蓬勃发展，社会文化交流日趋广泛，利益交汇点不断扩大，客观上已形成休戚与共的责任和命运共同体。本次会议的主题是“构建负责任伙伴关系，促进可持续增长与安全”，具有很强的现实意义。中方愿与亚欧各国一道，培育和凝聚亚欧共同体意识，倡导和促进亚欧团结协作，开放兼容，同舟共济，积极构建面向和平与发展的亚欧新型全面伙伴关系。在此，我提出以下几点建议：

——共同维护亚欧和平安全与稳定发展。

——共同推进亚欧互联互通和贸易投资自由化。

——共同促进亚欧人文交流和社会发展。

[记热词]

负责任伙伴关系 responsible partnership

可持续增长与安全 sustainable growth and security

亚欧新型全面伙伴关系 new type of comprehensive partnership between Asia and Europe

亚欧互联互通和贸易投资自由化 connectivity and trade and investment liberalization in Asia and Europe

亚欧人文交流和社会发展 Asia-Europe cultural exchange and social development

Eurasia is a land that boasts the greatest development opportunities and potential in the world. Since its inception 18 years ago, ASEM has witnessed deepening political dialogue, robust practical cooperation and extensive social and cultural exchanges. With expanding converging interests, ASEM members have grown into a community of shared responsibilities and destinies. The theme of this meeting, Responsible Partnership for Sustainable Growth and Security, is highly relevant. China stands ready to work with other ASEM partners in an open, inclusive and united spirit to foster the awareness of community, advocate unity and coordination, and actively build a new type of comprehensive partnership for peace and development between Asia and Europe. Along this line, I wish to make the following proposals:

— We need to jointly uphold peace, security, stability and development in Asia and Europe.

— We need to jointly promote connectivity and trade and investment liberalization in Asia and Europe.

— We need to jointly promote Asia-Europe cultural exchange and social development.

小贴士：

在国外演讲时，如果能用上一两句当地的语言能够拉近与听众的距离。李克强总理在莫斯科演讲的开头和结尾时就用俄语跟大家问好并表达谢意。
