总理记者会金句节选（中英对照）

简政放权是政府自我革命，削权要触动利益，它不是剪指甲，是割腕，忍痛也要下刀。

The government is reforming itself. Vested interests will be upset. This is not nail-clipping but taking a knife to one’s own flesh. We are determined to keep going until the job is done.

这使我想起最近互联网上流行的一个词叫“风口”，我想站在“互联网+”的风口上顺势而为，会使中国经济飞起来。

以权谋公而不能谋私。

虽然中国现在的物价总水平比较低，但并不是中国向世界输出了通缩，你说叫“输出者”，实际上我们是“被通缩”。

中国是不是最大的世界经济体，我在国外也经常听到有这种说法，总是有被忽悠的感觉。

Whether China has become the largest economy in the world? Actually I’ve heard such a view when I traveled abroad on foreign visits. But I always feel that there are some elements of misleading exaggeration in this conclusion.

中国是实实在在的发展中国家。

China is still a developing country in every sense of this term.

要说中国搭便车，搭谁的便车？中国是和大家一起推车。

Talking about China’s free riding, for such a big country as ours, how could it be easy for it to get a free ride on anybody’s train? What China is doing is working with other countries in pursuit of common progress.
