中英对照:2021年1月29日外交部发言人赵立坚主持例行记者会 [2]

Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Zhao Lijian's Regular Press Conference on January 29, 2021 [2]

赵立坚关于世卫组织国际专家组下步活动安排,去哪些地方走访,同哪些方面交流,事关科学的严肃性和研究的严谨性。双方会基于前期达成的共识,结合病毒特点和疫情形势,科学地、专业地作出安排。据我所知,你刚才提到的有关地点,专家组都会去。随着交流合作的深入,相信双方专家会在适当时机对外发布合作进展和研究成果。
Zhao Lijian The WHO experts' field work itinerary and plan for exchanges are crucial to serious, prudent scientific studies. The two sides will follow the prior consensus and make science-based arrangements in light of the features of the virus and the epidemic situation. As far as I know, the expert panel will visit all the places you named. As our exchanges and cooperation deepen, I believe experts of both sides will make public their progress in cooperation and results of research in due course.
我愿强调的是,这是世卫组织国际专家同中方相关领域专家就新冠病毒溯源问题进行的一次交流合作,是全球研究的一部分,不是调查。世卫专家隔离期间,双方已通过视频方式进行了多次交流,分享了各自研究成果,为下阶段深化双方合作、助力全球研究打下了良好基础。
I'd like to stress that the exchanges and cooperation on origin-tracing between WHO experts and Chinese professionals are part of a global study, not an investigation. During the WHO experts' quarantine, both sides had multiple discussions via videolink to share research outcomes, laying a good foundation for deeper cooperation and better global research in the next phase.
无论是各国官员还是新闻记者,我们都不是科学家,也不是专业人士。我们应当把溯源研究这项极为专业的工作交给专家去办,为他们推进相关合作提供充足的时间和必要的空间,给予他们充分的信任和支持,尽量减少不必要的关注和干扰。中方将一如既往地秉持开放、透明、负责任的态度,继续同世卫组织保持合作,为更好地预防未来的风险,保护好各国人民的生命安全和健康作出自己的贡献。
Since officials and journalists are neither scientists nor specialists after all, we need to entrust the experts with the very professional task of origin-tracing, give them enough time, space, trust and support to advance cooperation, and minimize unnecessary attention and disturbance. In an open, transparent and responsible spirit, China will continue working with WHO to better prevent future risks and protect humanity's safety and health.
《北京日报》记者据媒体报道,智利日前来华接运首批中国科兴公司疫苗,智利总统出席了疫苗运抵后举行的仪式,并对中方宝贵的抗疫合作表示感谢。请问中方对此有何评论?
Beijing Daily Chile recently received its first shipment of coronavirus vaccines developed by China's Sinovac, and the country's president welcomed the arrival of Chinese vaccines and expressed thanks to the valuable anti-epidemic cooperation with China. Do you have any response to that?
赵立坚中国和智利互为全面战略伙伴。不久前两国刚刚隆重庆祝了建交50周年。新冠肺炎疫情发生以来,双方积极落实习近平主席和皮涅拉总统达成的重要共识,开展了富有成效的抗疫合作,充分体现了中智关系的高水平和两国人民的深厚情谊。中方愿同包括智利在内的拉美国家和加勒比各国一道,为发展中国家用得上、用得起疫苗作出积极贡献,共同构建人类卫生健康共同体。
Zhao Lijian China and Chile are comprehensive strategic partners, and the two sides celebrated the 50th anniversary of diplomatic ties not long ago. Since the epidemics broke out, the two sides have been following through on the important consensus reached by President Xi Jinping and President Sebastián Piñera, and carrying out fruitful anti-epidemic cooperation that fully attests to the high level of bilateral relations and the deep friendship between the two peoples. China stands ready to work with Chile and other Latin American and Caribbean countries to make vaccines accessible and affordable to people in developing countries, and jointly build a global community of health for all.
《澳门月刊》记者据报道,1979年的今天,邓小平副总理访问美国,外界普遍认为中美友好交流的大幕从此正式拉开。邓小平说,中美两国人民是伟大的人民,两国人民的友好合作必将对世界形势的发展产生积极深远的影响。这对于今天处在十字路口的中美关系来说有什么启示?
Macao Monthly On January 29, 1979, the then Vice Premier Deng Xiaoping visited the US, which was believed by many to be the start of friendly exchanges between China and the US. Deng Xiaoping once said that the Chinese and the Americans are both great people, and their friendship and cooperation will definitely have positive and profound impact on the development of the international landscape. Can we draw inspiration from this as the China-US relations are now at a crossroads?
赵立坚这个问题提得非常好,看来你很关注中美关系。42年前的今天,在中美两国正式建交刚刚28天后,应卡特总统邀请,邓小平副总理对美国进行正式访问,这是新中国成立后中国领导人首次访美。访问留下了很多精彩瞬间,深深定格在中美关系的历史中,相信不少人现在都还记得。
Zhao Lijian This is a very good question. It clearly reveals your keen interest in China-US relations. On this very day 42 years ago, which was also 28 days after the establishment of diplomatic ties between China and the US, the then Vice Premier Deng Xiaoping paid an official visit to the US at the invitation of President Carter. Being the first visit to the US by a Chinese leader after the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was accompanied by many memorable moments that left their indelible marks on the history of China-US relations and are still brought up by many people.
之后的历史告诉世人,双方共同作出建立外交关系的这一重大抉择是完全正确的。建交40多年来,经过双方几代人的共同努力,两国关系取得了历史性发展。中美合作从来都是互利共赢的,两国和世界各国都是中美关系发展的受益者。我给大家举几组数字:中美两国经济总量超过世界三分之一,对世界经济增长贡献率超过50%。双边贸易额较建交之初增长了250多倍,达世界五分之一。双向投资从几乎为零攀升到近2400亿美元。每年人员往来达500万人次。两国在涉及世界和平与发展的几乎所有全球性问题上都肩负着重要责任。事实证明,中美合作可以办成很多有利于两国和世界的大事。
What has happened since then only serves to prove the absolute correctness in the two countries making this historic decision of establishing diplomatic relations. Over the four decades and more, our bilateral relations achieved historic development thanks to the concerted efforts made by both sides generation after generation. China-US cooperation has always been beneficial to both countries and the whole world. The total economic aggregates of China and the US account for a third of the world's total, contributing more than 50 percent to the world economic growth. Bilateral trade volumes, now taking up a fifth of the world's total, have increased by more than 250 times compared with the case when the two countries first established diplomatic relations. Bilateral investment has skyrocketed from nearly zero to almost 240 billion US dollars, and 5 million visits are made between the two sides every year. China and the US also shoulder great responsibility on almost all global issues bearing on world peace and development. Facts have proven that when China and the US cooperate, great things can be done to help not only the two countries but also the world.
过去几年,中美关系陷入前所未有的困境。其根本原因在于特朗普政府采取了完全错误的对华政策,无视中美建交40多年来取得的合作成果,无视包括中美老一辈领导人和政治家在内的两国有识之士为发展中美关系付出的多年心血,无视国际社会期待中美两国和平共处的强烈愿望。这是不可持续的,也是不得人心的。
The past few years saw China-US relations mired in unprecedented difficulties. The fundamental cause is the utterly wrong China policies taken by the Trump administration. These policies negate all the bilateral cooperation outcomes born out of the 40-plus years of engagement, trample on decades of dedicated efforts made by those visionary Chinese and American leaders, statesmen and people from all walks of life to cultivate ties, and turn a blind eye to the fact that the international community strongly wishes to see peaceful co-existence of China and the US. Such policies are unsustainable and unsupported.
做正确的事情,永远不晚。当前,中美关系正处在新的十字路口,也有望打开新的希望之窗。我们希望美方顺应时代潮流,倾听两国人民和国际社会呼声,客观理性看待中国和中美关系,与中方相向而行,秉持不冲突不对抗、相互尊重、合作共赢的精神,加强对话,聚焦合作,管控分歧,推动中美关系早日回到健康稳定发展的正确轨道。
It is never too late to do the right thing. China-US relations are now standing at a new crossroads, given a chance to open up a new window of hope. We hope the US will choose to follow the trend of the times, heed the voices of the Chinese and American people and the international community, view China and China-US relations in an objective and rational way, and work with China to follow the spirit of non-conflict, non-confrontation, mutual respect and win-win cooperation, strengthen communication, focus on cooperation, manage differences, and strive to get China-US relations back on the right track of sound and steady development.
