60、胡錦濤主席耶魯大學(xué)演講節(jié)選、
Ladies and Gentlemen, Dear friends,
女士們、先生們、朋友們！
1. The Chinese and Americans have always had an intense interest in and cared deeply about each other. The Chinese admire the pioneering and enterprising spirit of the Americans and their proud achievement in national development. As China develops rapidly and steady headway is made in China-U.S. cooperation, more and more Americans are following with great interest China's progress and development.
1、長期以來，中美兩國人民一直相互抱有濃厚的興趣和友好的感情。中國人民欣賞美國人民的開拓進取精神，欽佩美國人民在建設(shè)國家中取得的驕人業(yè)績。隨著中國的快速發(fā)展和中美合作的不斷拓展，越來越多的美國人也把目光投向中國，更加關(guān)注中國的發(fā)展進步。
2. Understanding leads to trust. Today, I would like to speak to you about China's development strategy and its future against the backdrop of the evolution of the Chinese civilization and China's current development endeavor. I hope this will help you gain a better understanding of China.
2、了解是信任的基礎(chǔ)。今天，我愿從中華文明歷史流變和現(xiàn)實發(fā)展的角度，談?wù)劗?dāng)代中國的發(fā)展戰(zhàn)略和前進方向，希望有助于美國人民更全面、更深入地了解中國。
3. In a history that spans more than five millennia, the Chinese nation has contributed significantly to the progress of human civilization. But its course of national development has been an arduous one. In particular in the 160 years and more since the Opium War in 1840, the Chinese people have fought courageously and unyieldingly to rid themselves of poverty and backwardness and to realize national rejuvenation, thus profoundly changing the destiny of the Chinese nation. Ninety-five years ago, the Chinese people launched the Revolution of 1911 that overthrew the feudal autocracy which had ruled China for several thousand years and opened the door to China's progress.
3、在5000多年的歷史長河中，中華民族為人類文明進步作出了巨大貢獻，同時也走過了曲折艱辛的道路。特別是從1840年鴉片戰(zhàn)爭以來的160多年間，中國人民為擺脫積貧積弱的境遇，實現(xiàn)民族復(fù)興，前仆后繼，頑強斗爭，使中華民族的命運發(fā)生了深刻變化。95年前，中國人民通過辛亥革命*了統(tǒng)治中國幾千年的君主專制制度，為中國的進步打開了閘門。
4. Fifty-seven years ago, the Chinese people succeeded in winning liberation after protracted and hard struggle and founded New China in which people became their own masters. Twenty-eight years ago, the Chinese people embarked upon the historic drive of reform, opening-up and modernization and have made phenomenal progress through unremitting efforts. Between 1978 and 2005, China's GDP grew from $147.3 billion to $2.2257 trillion. Its import and export volume went up from $20.6 billion to $1.4221 trillion and its foreign exchange reserve soared from $167 million to $818.9 billion. During this period, the number of its poor rural population dropped from 250 million to 23 million. The above review of the profound changes in these 160 years shows one thing, namely, by carrying out persistent and hard struggle, the Chinese people have both changed their own destiny and advanced the cause of human progress.
4、57年前，中國人民經(jīng)過長期浴血奮斗實現(xiàn)了民族獨立和人民解放，建立了人民當(dāng)家作主的新中國。28年前，中國人民開始了改革開放和現(xiàn)代化建設(shè)的偉大歷史進程，經(jīng)過艱苦創(chuàng)業(yè)取得了舉世矚目的巨大成就。從1978年到2005年，中國國內(nèi)生產(chǎn)總值從1473億美元增長到22257億美元，進出口總額從206億美元增長到14221億美元，國家外匯儲備從1、67億美元增加到8189億美元，農(nóng)村貧困人口由2、5億人減少到2300多萬人?；仡欉@160多年來中國發(fā)生的滄桑巨變，可以說，中國人民經(jīng)過艱苦探索和頑強奮斗，既改變了自己的命運，也推動了人類進步事業(yè)。
5. On the other hand, I need to point out that, despite the success in its development, China remains the world's largest developing country, with per capita GDP ranking behind the 100th place. The Chinese people are yet to live a well-off life and China still faces daunting challenges in its development endeavor. Therefore it requires sustained and unremitting efforts to transform the country and make life better for its people. In the next 15 years, we will strive to make new progress in building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way that will benefit China's one billion and more population. We aim to raise China's GDP to $4 trillion by 2020, averaging $3,000 per person. By then, China's economy will be better developed and its democracy will be further enhanced. More progress will be made in science and education. Its culture will be further enriched, the society will become more harmonious and the people will lead a better life.
5、必須看到，中國盡管取得了巨大的發(fā)展成就，但仍是世界上的發(fā)展中國家，人均國內(nèi)生產(chǎn)總值仍排在世界100名之后，中國人民的生活還不富裕，中國的發(fā)展還面臨著不少突出的矛盾和問題。要徹底改變中國的面貌和改善中國人民的生活，需要繼續(xù)持之以恒地艱苦奮斗。中國將在未來15年集中力量全面建設(shè)惠及十幾億人口的更高水平的小康社會。具體來說，就是要使中國國內(nèi)生產(chǎn)總值到2020年達到40000億美元左右，人均達到3000美元左右，使經(jīng)濟更加發(fā)展、民主更加健全、科教更加進步、文化更加繁榮、社會更加和諧、人民生活更加殷實。
6. To realize these goals, China has adopted a new concept of development in line with its national conditions and the requirement of the times. That is, to pursue a scientific outlook on development that makes economic and social development people-oriented, comprehensive, balanced and sustainable. We will work to strike a proper balance between urban and rural development, development among regions, economic and social development, development of man and nature, and domestic development and opening wider to the outside world. Greater emphasis will be put on addressing issues affecting people's livelihood, overcoming imbalances in development and resolving key problems that have occurred in the course of development. We will pursue a new path to industrialization featuring high technology, good economic returns, low resource-consumption, low environment pollution and full use of human resources. We will bring about coordinated economic, political, cultural and social development. And we will endeavor to ensure sustainable development by boosting production, improving people's life and protecting the environment.
6、為了實現(xiàn)我們的發(fā)展目標，中國根據(jù)本、國國情和時代要求明確了自己的發(fā)展理念，這就是樹立和貫徹以人為本、全面協(xié)調(diào)可持續(xù)發(fā)展的科學(xué)發(fā)展觀，統(tǒng)籌城鄉(xiāng)發(fā)展、統(tǒng)籌區(qū)域發(fā)展、統(tǒng)籌經(jīng)濟社會發(fā)展、統(tǒng)籌人與自然和諧發(fā)展、統(tǒng)籌國內(nèi)發(fā)展和對外開放，更加注重解決民生問題，更加注重克服發(fā)展的不平衡性，更加注重解決發(fā)展中存在的突出矛盾，致力于走科技含量高、經(jīng)濟效益好、資源消耗低、環(huán)境污染少、人力資源優(yōu)勢得到充分發(fā)揮的新型工業(yè)化道路，推進經(jīng)濟建設(shè)、政治建設(shè)、文化建設(shè)、社會建設(shè)協(xié)調(diào)發(fā)展，努力實現(xiàn)生產(chǎn)發(fā)展、生活富裕、生態(tài)良好的文明發(fā)展格局。
