各位贵宾， 媒体朋友们， 女士们、先生们：
Distinguished
Chinese and Foreign Guests, Friends
from the Press, Ladies
and Gentlemen,
很高兴参加今年的博鳌亚洲论坛年会。在中外同事和各界人士的共同努力下，论坛正成为亚洲乃至全球最具影响力的高端论坛之一。这种影响力不仅基于高水平的参与者和组织者，也源于论坛对时代潮流和前沿课题的准确把握，包括举办这次丝绸之路分论坛。我谨借此机会感谢在座的各国领导人和各界朋友出席本次分论坛，共商丝绸之路建设。
It gives me great pleasure to
attend the Boao Forum for Asia Annual Conference. Thanks to the concerted
efforts of colleagues and people from various sectors in China and other
countries, the Forum is becoming one of the most influential high-end fora in
Asia and beyond. Its influence stems not just from its high-caliber
participants and organizers but also its acute antenna for the current trend
and frontier topics of discussion, including the discussion we are having today
on the Silk Road. I would like to take this opportunity to express my thanks to
you, leaders from various countries and friends from all sectors, for joining our
discussions on the building of the Silk Road.
去年秋天，习近平主席在访问中亚和东南亚国家时，分别提出建设丝绸之路经济带和21世纪海上丝绸之路两大倡议，合称为“一带一路”，得到国际社会高度关注和有关国家积极回应。今天上午，李克强总理在演讲中全面阐述中国的亚洲合作政策，特别表示要推进“一带一路”建设。我们此时的研讨具有重要意义。
The two initiatives of building a
Silk Road economic belt and a 21st-century maritime Silk Road, known for short
as the Belt and the Road, were put forth by President Xi Jiping during his two
separate visits to Central Asia and Southeast Asia last fall. The initiatives
have received positive response from countries concerned and been followed with
great interest by the international community. Premier Li Keqiang, in his
speech this morning on China’s policy toward Asian cooperation, made a special
mentioning of the importance of building the Belt and the Road. Our discussion
this afternoon is therefore highly relevant.
几天前，我陪同习近平主席访问欧洲，感到欧洲各界对“一带一路”很关注、很热心。中欧联合声明指出，中欧决定共同挖掘丝绸之路经济带与欧盟政策的契合点，探讨在丝绸之路经济带沿线开展合作的共同倡议。习主席在德国杜伊斯堡出席始发于重庆的中欧铁路班列抵港仪式，气氛隆重热烈，在场的每个人都直观感受到，丝绸之路不再是历史书上的概念，而是现代物流和中欧合作的新鲜故事，沿路人民得到了实实在在的利益。
When I accompanied President Xi
on his visit to Europe a few days ago, I found that people in different sectors
across Europe have shown great interest and enthusiasm in the Belt and the
Road. German leaders described the Silk Road economic belt as a significant
initiative that will benefit Germany, and pledged Germany’s full support and
active participation. The Joint Statement released by China and the EU stated
that the two sides will develop synergies between EU policies and China’s “Silk
Road Economic Belt” initiative and jointly explore common initiatives along
these lines. During his visit to Germany, President Xi Jinping attended a grand
welcoming ceremony in Duisburg for a train that arrived from Chongqing along
the China-Europe railway. To everyone present there, the Silk Road, once a mere
term in the history book, has become a novel story of modern logistics and of
China-Europe cooperation delivering real benefits to people along the way.
欧洲对古今丝绸之路的热情并不偶然，从一个侧面反映了世界对亚洲古老文明和当今发展潜力的再认识，反映了经济全球化和世界多极化背景下东西方交流合作的新趋势。
Europe’s enthusiasm for the Silk
Road, both the ancient and the modern, is nothing accidental. It is one
reflection of the world’s renewed recognition of Asia’s time-honored
civilizations and its development potential today. It shows a new trend of
communication and cooperation between the East and the West amid economic
globalization and a move toward multi-polarity.
欧洲是古代丝绸之路的终点，但丝绸原产于中国，丝绸之路的起点在中国，许多重要地域是在亚洲。中国和亚洲各国人民筚路蓝缕走出这条路，披星戴月维护这条路，对丝绸之路有着天然的亲近感。可以说，丝绸之路是亚洲各国共同历史与辉煌文明的见证，是亚洲人民历史文化自豪感的源泉，也是亚洲各国团结合作的旗帜。
Europe was the end of the ancient
Silk Road, yet silk originated from China, where the Silk Road started, and
many important areas of the Silk Road ran through Asia. The Asian people opened
the Silk Road, withstanding great hardships, and preserved it throughout the
years. We therefore feel a natural affinity for the Silk Road, which had once
witnessed the common history and glory of the Asian civilizations. For the
Asian people, the Silk Road provides a source of historical and cultural pride,
and stands as a flag of unity and cooperation among Asian countries.
丝绸之路给了亚洲人历史文化的自信。2000多年前丝绸之路开辟之际，亚洲早已孕育出成熟的文明，生产力、管理水平和开放程度领先世界，很多考古发现和西方学者都证明了这一点。佛教、基督教、伊斯兰教等宗教的发祥地都在亚洲，丝绸、瓷器、漆器、铁器、马鞍、源于中国的“四大发明”和源于印度的“阿拉伯数字”，都曾是亚洲的“专利”。通过丝绸之路，亚洲国家敞开胸怀接纳外国商人和学子，毫无保留提供最先进的商品和技术。
The Silk Road has given the
people of Asia confidence in their history and culture. As early as over 2,000
years ago, when the Silk Road first began to take shape, Asia already boasted
matured civilizations and was leading the world in productivity, managerial
expertise and the level of openness. Ample proof of this could be found in
archeological discoveries and the study by western scholars. Asia was the
cradle of Buddhism, Christianity and Islam. Silk, porcelain, lacquerware,
ironware, saddle, the four great inventions of ancient China (papermaking,
gunpowder, movable-type printing and compass) and the Arabic numerals of India
were all, at one time, the proprietary rights of Asia. It was through the Silk
Road that Asian countries embraced foreign merchants and students and shared
with them, without reservation, Asia’s most advanced commodities and
technologies.
近代以来，亚洲国家落后了，饱受列强侵略、殖民之苦，面临外部强势文化的冲击，但亚洲国家珍爱自己的历史文化，维护自己的价值观根基。今天亚洲人不会陶醉于过去的光荣历史，也不会为历史悲情所累，而是从传统文化中汲取自强创新的营养，谱写美好的历史新篇。
Since modern times, however, Asian
countries have been left behind, suffering from the invasion and colonization
of foreign powers and the shock of strong cultures from the outside.
Nevertheless, Asian countries cherish their own history and culture, and have
sought to uphold the roots of their own values. Today, the people of Asia,
neither conceited with past glory nor indulged in the memory of old sufferings,
have chosen to draw strength from their tradition and culture, be innovative
and strive to write a new chapter in Asia’s history.
丝绸之路给了亚洲人发展道路的自信。多样性和多元化是亚洲的特色和优势，丝绸之路上每一个文明、民族和国家都有自己的社会土壤和发展轨迹，都是平等和独特的，没有高低优劣的区别，也没有强求一致的必要。基于多样性，商人们才能互通有无，智者们才能交流互鉴，世界也才能丰富多彩。古代的丝绸之路不是一条，而是存在许多路径的选择，涵盖了亚洲和欧洲广大的地区和国家。这对我们今天思考发展道路问题颇有启示。
The Silk Road has given the
people of Asia confidence in their development paths. Heterogeneity and
diversity is the very feature and advantage of Asia. Every civilization, ethnic
group and country along the Silk Road has its own social soil and development
trajectory and everyone is equal and unique. The difference is never about
which is superior and there is no need to force conformity. It is based on
heterogeneity that businessmen have been able to trade, wise men communicate
and the world be diverse and colorful. Instead of being just one single road,
the ancient Silk Road actually provided a choice of several roads, which passed
through broad areas and many countries in Asia and Europe. This is quite
inspiring as we engage ourselves in discussion on our development paths today.
近现代以来，亚洲的仁人志士苦苦探索国强民富之路，经历了很多挫折，结论是发展道路必须立足本国国情，可以借鉴外国经验但绝不能照搬。基于这一认识，依靠自力更生和国际合作，冷战后的亚洲创造了经济发展的奇迹，经受了亚洲金融危机和国际金融危机的洗礼。亚洲开发银行的最新报告预测，45个亚洲发展中经济体今明两年的经济增长将分别达到6.2%和6.4%，高出发达国家平均增长率两倍以上。这十分不容易，说明亚洲国家坚持走自己的路是对的，这条路有荆棘，但却是康庄大道。
Since modern times, patriots and
righteous people in Asia have explored tirelessly paths to a prosperous and
strong nation. After experiencing many setbacks, they have come to the
conclusion that to choose a proper development path, one must bear in mind the
distinctive national conditions and that one may learn from but should never
copy the experience of other countries. It is based on such an understanding
that Asia, after the end of the Cold War, created miracles of economic
development by working hard on its own and carrying out international
cooperation. Asia has stood the test of the Asian financial crisis and the
international financial crisis. According to the latest forecast of the Asian
Development Bank, 45 developing economies in Asia will achieve a growth rate of
6.2% this year and 6.4% next year, more than twice the average for developed
countries. Such result is not easily gained. It shows that Asian countries have
done the right thing in sticking to their own paths which, despite thorns on
the way, lead to bright prospects.
丝绸之路给了亚洲人包容合作的自信。通过丝绸之路，东西方以和平、平等的方式开展多领域、深层次的交流，亚欧大陆很早就形成了贸易网络，各方都获益匪浅。古代中国的冶铁、耕作和水利灌溉技术西传南输，大幅提高了周边国家的生产力。来自南亚的医学、历法和雕塑艺术，在中国得到重视和运用。箜篌和马球是古代中亚游牧民族的发明，在中国音乐史和体育史上都有一席之地。东帝汶的檀香，泰国的大象，老挝的木雕，俄罗斯的毛皮，欧洲和西亚的琉璃，巴基斯坦、缅甸和斯里兰卡的宝石，都深受古代中国人民喜爱。
The Silk Road has given the
people of Asia confidence to pursue inclusive cooperation. The Silk Road had
enabled the East and the West to thoroughly interact with each other in peace
and equality in all possible areas. The network for trade running over the
Eurasian continent way back in the early days brought benefits to all sides.
The ancient Chinese technologies of iron-smelting, farming and irrigation were
brought to neighboring countries to the west and south of China and greatly
increased those countries’ productivity, while the medicine, calendar and
sculpturing art from South Asia were applied and valued in China. The Chinese
Harp and Polo, created by ancient nomads in Central Asia, featured proudly in
the history of Chinese music and sports. The sandalwood from Timor-Leste,
elephant from Thailand, wood sculpture from the Laos, leather and fur from
Russia, colored glaze from Europe and west Asia, and gems from Pakistan,
Myanmar and Sri Lanka were all highly popular with ancient Chinese.
一些宗教或宗教教派通过陆海丝绸之路传入中国，与中国的本土宗教相互融合，和谐相处。古代中外的使节、商人和取经求法的智者，得到了丝绸之路沿途民众的无私帮助，否则他们寸步难行。
Some religions or sections of
religion, after being introduced into China via the land and maritime silk
roads, integrated with home-grown religions in China and coexisted with them in
harmony. For the numerous Chinese and foreign envoys, merchants and the wise
questing for scriptures and knowledge, it was the Silk Road, and the people who
kindly assisted them along the way, that had made their journeys possible. |
