温总理在开罗阿拉伯国家联盟总部的演讲

2009-11-09来源:和谐英语
谈到尊重文明的多样性,必须看到各个民族、各种宗教都是多样性文明的重要载体。中国是一个多民族、多宗教的国家。我们有56个民族,本土的道教与相继传入的佛教、伊斯兰教、天主教、基督教等长期和谐共处。中国政府的基本政策是,坚定不移地坚持和完善民族区域自治制度,切实保障各民族一律平等,加快少数民族和民族地区经济社会发展;坚定不移地坚持宗教信仰自由政策,发挥宗教界人士和信教群众在促进经济社会发展中的积极作用。

Speaking of respecting diversity of civilizations, we must recognize that diversity of civilizations is largely reflected in ethnic and religious diversity. China is a multi-ethnic and multi-religious country. It is made up of 56 ethnic groups. The indigenous Taoism has long existed in harmony with Buddhism, Islam and Christianity, religions introduced from the outside. It is the basic policy of the Chinese government to implement and improve the system of regional ethnic autonomy, ensure equality among all ethnic groups and speed up the economic and social development of minority ethnic groups and areas inhabited by these groups. It is also our policy to ensure freedom of religious belief and bring into play the positive role of religious personages and religious believers in promoting economic and social development.

在中国,信仰伊斯兰教的有10个民族,2000多万人口。他们都是中华民族大家庭的重要成员,他们的宗教信仰、文化传统和生活习俗受到了充分尊重。目前在中国城乡,有35000多座清真寺。在中国任何的一个城市,都可以找到清真餐厅。像上海这样国际化的大都市,专门为保障清真食品的供应立了法。在民间生活中,不管工厂、学校和机关,只要有穆斯林,就开清真灶;连朋友聚会,只要其中有一位是穆斯林,大家都自觉用清真餐。中国政府制定了一系列政策,扶持少数民族和民族地区的经济、文化和社会发展。信仰伊斯兰教的民族,同其他各个民族和睦相处,共同推动了国家发展和社会进步。

In China, more than 20 million people from 10 ethnic groups believe in Islam. They are all important members of the big family of the Chinese nation, and their religious belief, cultural tradition and way of life are fully respected. There are over 35,000 mosques in cities and the countryside across China. You can find Muslim restaurants in any Chinese city. In an international metropolis like Shanghai, there is local legislation ensuring the supply of Muslim food. You will also find that in factories, schools and government offices in China, Muslim cuisine is available wherever there are Muslims. If you attend a get-together among friends, those present will all choose to have Muslim food even if only one of them is a Muslim. The Chinese government has adopted a range of policies to support economic, cultural and social development of minority ethnic groups and areas. Ethnic groups who believe in Islam have lived in amity with other ethnic groups and jointly promoted national development and social progress.

女士们,先生们:

Ladies and Gentlemen,

新中国成立以来,中阿始终相互同情,相互支持。上世纪五十年代,一批阿拉伯国家排除种种干扰,毅然同中华人民共和国建立外交关系。七十年代,在阿拉伯国家和其他友好的发展中国家大力支持和不懈努力下,新中国恢复了在联合国的合法席位。对阿拉伯国家争取民族合法权利的正义事业和谋求发展的愿望,中国政府和人民感同身受,给予了政治和道义上的有力支持,提供了力所能及的帮助。许多中国工程技术人员为支援阿拉伯国家的建设献出了宝贵的生命,长眠在这块土地上。

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, China and Arab countries have always sympathized with and supported each other. In the 1950s, a number of Arab countries overcame various interferences and made the courageous decision to establish diplomatic relations with China. In the 1970s, Arab countries and other friendly developing countries gave strong support and made persistent effort in helping restore New China's lawful seat in the United Nations. On our part, the Chinese government and people have shown full understanding for the just cause of Arab countries to seek lawful national rights and your aspirations for development. We have given you strong political and moral support and provided assistance within the realm of our capabilities. Many Chinese engineers and construction workers gave their precious lives for the development of Arab countries and were laid to rest in the Arab land.

21世纪,是经济全球化的世纪,也是多样文明大放光彩的世纪。拥有13亿人口的中国同拥有数亿人口的阿拉伯世界,都肩负着让古老文明焕发青春的神圣使命。回眸近二百多年来的历史,中国和阿拉伯国家被耽误的历史机遇太多太多了。我们有一百个理由、一千个理由振奋起来,加强合作、加快发展,追上时代前进的步伐,而没有任何一个理由可以心存疑虑、踌躇不前。任何对国家、对民族负责任的政治家,任何有抱负、有作为的企业家和社会各界人士,都应该清醒地看到自己肩负的历史责任。让我们携起手来。把中国同阿拉伯各国的友好合作推向新阶段!

The 21st century is the century of economic globalization. It is also one marked by great progress of diverse civilizations. China, with its 1.3 billion people, and the Arab world, with its several hundred million people, both shoulder the sacred mission of renewing our centuries-old civilizations. Looking back at the last 200 years, we have missed far too many opportunities. We have100 reasons, even 1,000 reasons to strengthen cooperation and speed up development with renewed vigor and vitality, so that we can catch up with the changing times. We have no reason whatsoever to dither or hesitate. All political leaders who have a sense of responsibility towards their countries and peoples and all entrepreneurs and other members of the society who cherish high ideals and aspirations should have a keen awareness of the responsibility that history has placed on them. Let us join hands and take the friendly cooperation between China and Arab countries to a new level!

中国要同阿拉伯国家巩固政治互信、加强战略合作。当今世界正在经历大变革大调整大发展,国际政治经济格局正在发生深刻的变化,包括阿拉伯国家在内的发展中国家地位和影响力不断提高。在这种新的历史条件下,中国同阿拉伯国家巩固政治互信,加强战略合作,这是我们双方的根本利益之所在。“中阿合作论坛”的创立和发展,为双方加强集体对话与协作开辟了广阔前景。中阿要做和平稳定的维护者,坚持通过对话和协商解决国际争端和地区冲突。反对一切形式的恐怖主义、分裂主义和极端主义,反对把恐怖主义与特定的民族和宗教混为一谈。共同营造安全、安宁的国际环境。中国愿同阿方加强合作,携手应对气候变化、能源、非传统安全威胁等全球性挑战,推动实现千年发展目标。中阿双方在重大国际和地区事务上要继续相互支持、相互配合,共同维护广大发展中国家的利益,致力于建立公正、合理的国际新秩序。

China is committed to deepening political trust and strengthening strategic cooperation with Arab countries. The world today is experiencing major transformation, major adjustments and major development, and the international political and economic architecture is going through profound changes. The standing and influence of developing countries, including Arab countries, are on the rise. Against such a background, it serves the fundamental interests of both sides to solidify political trust and intensify strategic cooperation. The establishment and development of the China-Arab Cooperation Forum have opened broad prospects for strengthened collective dialogue and coordination between the two sides. We should work together to promote peace and stability, seek settlement of international disputes and regional conflicts through dialogue and consultation, oppose all forms of terrorism, separatism and extremism, and reject linking terrorism to any specific ethnic group or religion. And we should jointly foster a safe and peaceful international environment. China is ready to step up cooperation with Arab countries to address global challenges, including climate change, energy and non-traditional security threats and promote the attainment of the UN Millennium Development Goals. We should continue to support and cooperate with each other in major international and regional affairs, work together to safeguard the interests of developing countries and endeavor to build a just and reasonable new international order.

中国将继续推动中东和平进程。中东应该有一个和平美好的未来。二战以来,中东战火不断,生灵涂炭,百姓流离失所。严酷的事实表明,冤冤相报只能加深仇恨,铸剑为犁才能迎来和平。“阿拉伯和平倡议”向全世界表明了阿拉伯国家和平解决中东问题的真诚意愿和战略选择,中方对此高度赞赏。以对话代替对抗,以理解促进和解,停止流血冲突,是解决中东问题的根本途径。我们期盼中东早日结束纷争和战乱,恢复和平与安宁。中国愿与阿拉伯国家和其他有关各方加强沟通,发挥建设性作用,推动中东问题早日得到全面、公正、持久的解决,实现中东地区的和平、安全和稳定。

China will continue to promote the Middle East peace process. The Middle East deserves a peaceful and beautiful future. Since World War II, the Middle East region has been plagued by incessant wars and conflicts. Numerous lives have been lost and many innocent people displaced. The stark reality shows that the an eye for an eye approach can only stoke deeper hatred, and peace can only be achieved by turning swords into ploughshares. We highly appreciate the Arab Peace Initiative, which demonstrates to the whole world the sincere wish and strategic decision of Arab countries to peacefully resolve the Middle East issue. The fundamental way to resolve the Middle East issue is to replace confrontation with dialogue, promote reconciliation by increasing understanding, and stop the bloodshed and conflicts. We hope that disputes and conflicts will soon come to an end and peace and tranquility will return to the Middle East. China is ready to step up consultation with Arab countries and other parties concerned and play a constructive role in promoting a comprehensive, just and lasting settlement of the Middle East issue in order to achieve peace, security and stability in this part of the world.

中国积极发展同阿拉伯各国的经贸合作。上世纪八十年代以来特别是近几年来,中阿双方互惠互利的经贸关系发展迅速。中国同阿拉伯国家的贸易额从2004年的367亿美元攀升至2008年的1328亿美元,是当年的3.6倍。截至2008年底,双方工程承包合同累计接近1000亿美元。发展中阿经贸合作,空间广阔,潜力巨大。特别是当前面对国际金融危机的严重冲击,中阿要采取更加切实有效的措施,扩大双方在经贸、能源、投资、金融、旅游和人力资源培训等领域的务实合作。中国政府鼓励有实力的企业到阿拉伯国家投资兴业。中国政府和中国企业将更加注重促进伙伴国自身经济实力的增强,更加注重促进当地的就业、资源的综合利用和环境的保护。中国将一如既往地向欠发达国家提供人道主义援助,帮助改善民生,消除贫困,增强自我发展能力。

China will push forward economic cooperation and trade with Arab countries. The mutually beneficial economic and trade ties between the two sides have been growing rapidly since the 1980s, the last few years in particular. Trade volume between China and Arab countries jumped from US$36.7 billion in 2004 to US$132.8 billion in 2008, a 2.6-fold increase in a short span of five years. By the end of 2008, the total value of contracted projects between the two sides had approached US$100 billion. There is great scope and enormous potential for business cooperation between China and Arab countries. In response to the serious impact of the international financial crisis, it is all the more important for us to take more concrete and effective measures to expand practical cooperation in economy and trade, energy, investment, finance, tourism and human resources training. The Chinese government encourages capable Chinese enterprises to make investment and set up businesses in Arab countries. The Chinese government and enterprises will place more emphasis on helping build up the economic strength of our partner countries and on promoting local job creation, comprehensive resource utilization and environmental protection. China will, as always, provide humanitarian assistance to underdeveloped countries and help them improve people's livelihood, eradicate poverty and expand capacity for self-development.
