尊敬的堪培拉大學(xué)副校長斯蒂芬·帕克教授,
國家安全學(xué)院院長彼得·萊希教授,
各位老師,同學(xué)們,朋友們:
Vice-Chancellor Stephen Parker,
Professor Peter Leahy,
Faculty Members and Students,
Dear Friends,
非常高興應(yīng)邀參加堪培拉大學(xué)國家安全學(xué)院的“國家安全系列講座”。首先,我要感謝堪培拉大學(xué)國家安全學(xué)院的熱情邀請和精心安排。在座的多是青年人,與你們愉快且坦誠的交流仿佛使我回到自己的青年時(shí)代。
It is a great pleasure for me to come to the National Security Institute of the University of Canberra and speak at the National Security Lecture Series. Let me first thank the NSI for the kind invitation and thoughtful arrangements. I'm very happy to see so many young people in the audience. To talk to you face-to-face brings me back to my younger days.
今天,我想重點(diǎn)談一下中國的戰(zhàn)略取向、發(fā)展戰(zhàn)略以及中國與澳大利亞的關(guān)系,然后回答大家關(guān)心的問題。
I will focus my speech today on China's strategic orientation and development strategies and its relations with Australia. Then I will be available to take up your questions of interest.
經(jīng)過三十多年的改革開放,中國經(jīng)濟(jì)保持了持續(xù)快速發(fā)展,綜合國力有了長足提升。國際社會更加關(guān)心未來中國的戰(zhàn)略取向,許多專家、學(xué)者對中國的戰(zhàn)略意圖進(jìn)行了各種各樣的分析和猜測,關(guān)心中國如何運(yùn)用其不斷增長的力量,關(guān)心中國會不會對其他國家構(gòu)成威脅。
Thanks to over thirty years of reform and opening up, China has achieved sustained and rapid economic development and considerably improved its overall national strength. As China continues to grow, more people in the world are interested to know what's China's strategic orientation. Many experts and scholars have made an array of analyses and speculations on this subject, wondering how China will apply its growing strength and whether China will pose a threat to other countries.
其實(shí),中國的戰(zhàn)略意圖十分簡單,就四個(gè)字:和平發(fā)展。這是在今后很長時(shí)間里,我們幾代、十幾代甚至幾十代人要做的事情。美國有個(gè)舉世皆知的“美國夢”,而近代飽受戰(zhàn)亂之苦的中國人民也有個(gè)“中國夢”,就是要通過和平的方式,通過自身的不斷改革創(chuàng)新和艱苦奮斗,使占世界人口五分之一強(qiáng)的中國人能過上比較好的日子,人人安居樂業(yè),與世界各國友好合作,和諧相處,共享繁榮富裕。除此之外,別無他圖。
As a matter of fact, China's strategic intention is very simple. Just two words: peaceful development. This is a long-term mission we will pursue for several or even dozens of generations to come. Everyone knows about the "American dream". Actually, the Chinese, who were subjected to repeated wars in modern time, also have a "Chinese dream". It is a dream to enable one fifth of the world population to live and work in happiness, live in harmony with other nations and share common prosperity with them through friendly cooperation. We want nothing but this. And we will strive to fulfill our dream in peaceful means and through hard work, reform and innovation.
