在四川汶川特大地震發生一周年之際，四川省都江堰市156名中小學生代表全市中小學生給國務院總理溫家寶寄來他們簽名的畫集《美麗的花朵》。近日，溫家寶總理給都江堰市全市中小學生親筆回信，感謝這些災區孩子們簽名寄贈的畫集《美麗的花朵》，勉勵他們要以堅忍不拔的意志努力做一個有用的人，去幫助人們過上更好的生活。

孩子們：

My dear children,

你們簽名贈給我的畫集《美麗的花朵》收到了，非常感謝。

I have received the album of paintings entitled 'Beautiful Flowers' you signed and sent to me. Thank you very much.

當我看到你們精心創作的作品時，我的心被深深地震撼了。這不是一般的畫作，是你們在那場悲壯的抗震救災中親身經歷的真實寫照。

My heart was deeply touched when I saw your elaborate works. They are unique and authentic depictions of what you experienced in that solemn and stirring earthquake-relief campaign.

你們敢于面對災難，充滿戰勝困難的信心和勇氣；你們在廢墟中站立起來，挺起不屈的脊梁；你們把痛苦和大愛深深埋在心里，化作前進的力量。

You were brave enough to face the catastrophe and full of confidence and courage to surmount the difficulties; you have stood up in the ruins with your backs straight; and you have buried pain and great love deep in your hearts and turned them into strength to move forward.

你們幼小的心靈經過磨難，變得更純潔、更莊嚴、更堅強、更美好。你們已經懂得要以堅忍不拔的意志努力做一個有用的人，去幫助人們過上更好的生活。你們就是在這片災難的土地上綻放出的最美麗的花朵，就是國家和民族的未來和希望。

Your little hearts have become even more pure, solemn, staunch and beautiful after all the hardships; you have been aware of ways to become someone useful who can help others lead better lives, with gritty will and through great efforts; and you are the most beautiful flowers, which have blossomed out on this disaster-hit land, and you are the future and hope of the country and the people.

在汶川大地震一周年紀念日到來的時候，我們紀念那些遇難的人們特別是孩子們，最好的行動就是把災后恢復重建工作做好，建設美好家園。

On eve of the first anniversary of the Wenchuan Earthquake, we are commemorating people, children in particular, who lost their lives. The best [we] can do is to do a good job in the post-disaster reconstruction and build a beautiful home.

我們國家的災難頻仍而深重，惟有科學的態度、求實的精神和不懈地奮斗才能戰勝它，從而使人們首先是孩子們生活安寧、和諧幸福。

Our country is plagued with frequent disasters, and we can only overcome them with a scientific attitude, practical spirit and strenuous effort, to enable people, primarily children, to live in peace, harmony and happiness.

你們在畫中表達了對我的想念，我也想念你們，想念災區所有的孩子們。我深深地愛著你們！

You have expressed your memories of me and I also miss you, and I miss all the children in the disaster-hit areas. I love you deeply!
