美驻华大使洪博培网商大会演讲

2010年9月10日，阿里巴巴第七届网商大会暨第六届西湖论剑在杭州举行，美国驻华大使洪博培出席本次大会并进行了主题演讲。以下为本次演讲的文字实录(中英对照)：

Jon M. Huntsman: I want to tell Jack Ma what an honor it is to be here representing the United States Embassy, representing the people of America, representing so many friends in China – many of whom you trade with, invest with, you’ve studied with in university and schools in China and the United States. It truly is an honor to be here in Hangzhou. I think Hangzhou is perhaps the most beautiful city in all of China. It is historic, it is sophisticated, it is culture, and it is the home of the Alibaba gathering – in its 7th year in a row. And it’s just an unbelievable opportunity to be able to look out at so many representatives of emerging industry and business here in China. I am just so very honored to be here. You know so much more about the issues and the subject matter than I do.
洪博培：我想告诉马云，非常容幸能来到这里，代表美国大使馆，代表美国人民，代表中国这么多的朋友，在座的很多人都是在美国学习或者是美国人交朋友，做生意，有很多的交往，真的非常高兴来到杭州这个美丽的城市，我认为杭州在整个中国最漂亮的城市了。它是历史名城，一个成熟有底蕴的城市，有深厚的文化底蕴，而且是阿里巴巴的网商大会的一个主场，而且看到来自这么多网商在中国正在冉冉升起的一个网络行业，网商的行业的年轻人，我相信大家对这个主题，对我来说，了解的更多，所以对我来说我其实在这里就是在班门弄斧了。

Personal Connection to Hangzhou

Now, the main reason for coming to Hangzhou today is to offer up a challenge, and it starts with many of you right here in this room. The challenge is simple, it goes like this: entrepreneurs of the world, it is time to unite. I'm convinced this is a historic time for our two countries to unite around issues of innovation and the development, advancement, and protection of ideas -- the fuel that fires the engines of entrepreneurs everywhere in the world, leveling the playing field, of all competitors. But first, though, let me just say how delighted I am to be here in this beautiful and historic city.
来到杭州主要的原因其实对我来说也是一个挑战，你们今天来了很多人，其实这个挑战就是很简单的，我这么说吧，是在座的企业精神可以联合的，企业家团结起来，我很相信这一点，这是一个历史性的时刻，我们应该遵循进步、保护以及创新的精神团结起来，我们精神的引擎应该点燃全世界，我们应该有个非常公平的竞争的场地跟环境，首先我想说再次表达我来到杭州有多高兴。

We hosted late last year one of our very important trade conferences between China and the United States and we talked through a variety of market openings, IPR, information technology and service issues. All matters that I know you deal with and feel so strongly about and now I have a chance to come back and talk again about the issues that, I think, matter to you the most, the CEOs. They are also issues on which we can make common cause for mutual gain. Our trade meetings last year are also a reminding that trade and commerce remain the sturdy backbone of the U.S.-China relationship – now $400 billion strong and soon to be the largest trading and commercial relationship anywhere in the world.
我们去年底主办了中国和美国之间的一次商务会议，我们谈到了很多的问题，包括市场的开放、知识产权、信息技术、服务等等所有的重要的事情以及问题，你们需要面对的我们都谈到了，现在我有机会再次来回复我一直在想的这些问题，而且作为CEO，对你们CEO来说都是非常重要的，这个都是我们共同的一个事业，解决了问题，我们可以共赢的。去年的商务会议也提醒我们贸易跟商务始终是美国跟中国美好关系的一个重要的基石，因为这个总额是40亿美金这么大的，在全球是无与伦比的。

Hangzhou also has a special place in the revitalized U.S.-China relationship. We're coming up in the 40th anniversary of Henry Kissinger's historic visit here, the first tentative step toward re-establishing diplomatic relations between our two great countries. At the time, 40 years ago, the negotiations were all done face to face, secret memos were passed back and forth by hand and if you wanted to look something up you had to actually read a book. There was no internet, no email, no cell phones, no Alibaba and Jack Ma was only around 5 or six years old. President Nixon reportedly enjoyed his time here at Westlake so much he said Beijing may be China's capitol, but Hangzhou is the country's heart! My Chinese friends also refer to it as Yu Mi Zhi Xiang (land of plenty)
杭州是一个很重要的地方，中美建交的时候扮演了一个很重要的角色，基辛格国务卿访问过中国杭州，当时中美还没有恢复建交，40年之前中美建交的谈判在杭州举行，做了一些秘密的协议，实际上你要读一读历史书才知道过去的这段历史，当时没有移动电话，没有电脑，没有阿里巴巴，当时马云可能才5岁、6岁那么大吧，尼克松总统在西湖旁边渡过一段非常美好的时光，他说过北京是中国的都城，但是杭州是这个国家的心脏，我的朋友曾经有说过鱼米之乡。
