中英对照:王毅就当前中美关系接受新华社专访 [5]

Interview on Current China-US Relations Given by State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi to Xinhua News Agency [5]

我们对中国特色社会主义制度有着强大自信,同时我们尊重世界各国人民自主选择的发展道路,无意同任何国家进行制度竞争,无意同任何国家搞意识形态对抗。我们也希望美方能尊重中国的社会制度,尊重中国人民的选择,放弃注定失败的干涉主义。正如习近平主席指出,我们有坚强决心、坚定意志、坚实国力应对挑战,有足够的勇气、能力、智慧战胜各种风险考验,任何国家任何人都不能阻挡中华民族实现伟大复兴的历史步伐。
We have great confidence in our path of socialism with Chinese characteristics. In the meantime, we also respect the development paths chosen by other nations. We are not interested in rivalry of systems, or ideological confrontation with any country. Likewise, we hope that the US will respect China's social system and the Chinese people's choice, and give up its failed interventionism. As President Xi Jinping pointed out, we have the strong determination, resolve and national strength to overcome all challenges. We have the courage, ability and wisdom to prevail over all risks and tests. No country or individual can hold back the historic march toward the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
新华社记者蓬佩奥鼓吹成立新的“民主联盟”来应对中国,胁迫其他国家在所谓“自由”和“专制”之间做出选择。但我们注意到他的这番话在国际上应者寥寥。你认为美方的企图能得逞吗?
Xinhua Pompeo is calling for a new alliance of democracies against China, and forcing other countries to choose between what he called "freedom" and "tyranny". But we noticed that very few nations answered the call. Do you think that the US will get what it wants?
王毅煽动对抗、制造分裂的行径历史上并不罕见,但最终无一不被人们所唾弃。在人类进入21世纪的今天,竟然又有人跳出来想拉下新的铁幕、制造新的分裂,搞政治认同和阵营对抗的老一套。这是公然蔑视人类的进步和智慧,也是公然大开历史的倒车,与时代潮流格格不入,与大多数国家愿望背道而驰,当然不得人心,注定应者寥寥。
Wang Yi Instigation for confrontation and division was not rare in history, but was all rebuked by the people. In the 21st century, it is inconceivable that some people intend to draw an iron curtain, stoke new division, advocate identity politics and bloc rivalry, and resort to other old tricks. This is a blatant contempt of human progress and wisdom as well as a regression of history. It goes against the trend of our times and the will of most nations. Naturally it has no support of the people, and few backing in the world.
中国是从帝国主义和殖民主义压迫中打破专制、赢得自由的国家。自由、民主、法治早已写入中国的宪法,也已成为中国特色社会主义核心价值观的重要内容。同时我们深知,自由不是放任,科学理性、法律秩序以及国际规则都是自由的基础。在疫情期间,根据防疫专家的科学建议,中国人民戴上口罩,却被有些美国政客攻击,说这是中国“专制”和“不自由”的表现,结果现在他们打了自己的脸。
China achieved freedom from imperialism and colonialism. Freedom, democracy and rule of law are codified in China's Constitution. They are also part of the core socialist values. In addition, we also know that freedom has boundaries. Respect for science, reason, law and order as well as international rules are the basis of freedom. In fighting COVID-19, the Chinese people follow experts' advice to wear masks. However, some US politicians attacked this, calling it an example of "tyranny" and "no freedom" in China. At the end of the day, they have been slapped in the face by the reality.
中国自古以来就是崇尚“和合”的国家,认为“分则争,争则乱,乱则穷”。中方一贯反对以意识形态划分世界的危险做法。为此,我们积极倡导合作共赢的新型国际关系,全面发展同各国友好合作,建立起覆盖全球的伙伴关系网络。习近平主席提出构建人类命运共同体的重大倡议,就是为了超越不同制度的分歧,摒弃零和博弈的思维,形成不同国家、不同民族、不同文明的共同奋斗方向,中方将为实现这一全人类的美好愿景做出自己的不懈努力。
China has valued peace and cooperation since ancient times, believing that "division leads to rivalry, which leads to chaos, which leads to poverty." China always opposes dangerous acts to divide the world along ideological lines. To this end, we advocate a new type of international relations featuring win-win cooperation. We pursue friendship and cooperation with all countries. And we endeavor to forge a global network of partnerships. President Xi Jinping calls for building a community with a shared future for mankind. This major initiative is aimed to rise above differences in system, abandon the zero-sum mentality, and find a common goal for all countries, nationalities and civilizations. China will work unrelentingly for this lofty vision for mankind.
新华社记者蓬佩奥称中国渴望建立世界霸权。但大家都知道,恰恰是美国在国际上动辄“毁约退群”。国际上很多人担心未来的国际秩序会受到重大影响,你对此怎么看?
Xinhua Pompeo claims that China desires global hegemony. But everyone knows that it is the US that is willfully withdrawing from international treaties and organizations. Many worry that this will have a big impact on the future international order. What is your take?
王毅当前国际秩序和国际体系面临的现实挑战是,美国作为综合实力最强的国家却将本国优先作为行事标准,把单边主义和霸凌主义推行到极致,不惜抛弃国际责任和多边规则,甚至在疫情最吃紧的时刻,无理攻击并退出世界卫生组织。本届美国政府退出的国际条约数量,已经超过美国以往任何一届政府,成为现行国际秩序的最大破坏者。
Wang Yi The real challenge to the current international order and system is that the United States, the strongest country in the world, places its own interests above everything else, and takes this as its code of conduct. It has gone extreme to pursue unilateralism and bullying, even at the cost of international responsibilities and multilateral rules. At the height of COVID-19, it went so far as to groundlessly attack and withdraw from the World Health Organization. The current US administration has pulled out of more international treaties than any one before it, making itself the most damaging force of the current international order.
中国始终是国际秩序和国际体系的坚定维护者。新中国成立70多年来,中国从未主动挑起过一场战争,从未侵占过别人的一寸土地。我们将坚持自身和平发展载入宪法,成为世界上第一个做出这一庄重承诺的国家。我们将继续沿着和平发展道路坚定走下去,永远不称霸,永远不搞扩张,永远做维护和平的中坚力量。
China is always a firm defender of the international order and the international system. In the past seven decades and more since the founding of the People's Republic, China never started a war, or occupied an inch of land of others. We have enshrined in the Constitution our commitment to peaceful development, and we are the first country in the world to make such a solemn pledge. We will continue to adhere to the path of peaceful development, and will never seek hegemony or expansionism. We will always be a staunch force for peace.
今年是世界反法西斯战争胜利和联合国成立75周年,在汲取惨痛历史教训的基础上,世界实现了近代以来最长时期的稳定与繁荣。今天,我们不能任由国际体系再被轻易破坏,不能再让这个世界重陷分裂。中国是首个在《联合国宪章》上签字的国家,我们加入了几乎所有国际条约和协议,忠实履行着应尽的国际责任和义务。在攸关世界前途命运的重大关头,我们将继续坚定捍卫和践行多边主义,坚定维护以联合国为核心的国际体系,坚定推进世界多极化和国际关系民主化。
This year marks the 75th anniversary of the victory of the World Anti-Fascist War and the founding of the United Nations. Having learned hard lessons from the past, the world has ensured the longest period of stability and prosperity in modern times. We must not allow the international system to be undermined arbitrarily, or the world divided again. China was the first to put its signature on the UN Charter. China has joined almost all international treaties and agreements, and has been faithfully fulfilling its due international responsibilities and obligations. At a time when the future of the world is at stake, China will continue to champion and pursue multilateralism, safeguard the UN-centered international system, and promote multipolarity and greater democracy in international relations.
新华社记者美方近来明显加大介入南海问题。蓬佩奥声明否定中国在南海主权权益,美军在南海举行双航母演练,并频频派军机军舰抵近侦察。有人认为,美国在南海制造摩擦冲突的可能性上升。南海还能否保持风平浪静?
Xinhua The US has significantly stepped up its intervention in the South China Sea. In his recent statement, Pompeo dismissed China's sovereign rights and interests in the South China Sea. The US has conducted "dual carrier operations" there, and kept sending military vessels and aircraft on reconnaissance missions aimed at China. Some people think that the possibility for the US to provoke frictions and conflicts in the South China Sea is increasing. Can peace and stability still be maintained in the South China Sea?
