篇一:中国驻英国大使傅莹在英语联盟的演讲译文(节选)

When I was a student in the UK 24 years ago, I bought Churchill’s autobiography when visiting his old house in Chartwell. At that time, buying extra books was a luxurious thing for me, so I cherished it and read it from cover to cover.

I was deeply infected by Sir Churchill’s diligence in learning. When he was a backbencher, this intelligent young guy has already been distinguished himself in the House of Commons. In his autobiography, he explained that no one could be bright without hardworking. He said that every time before he spoke in the parliament, even to ask a two-minute question, he worked hard and devoted hours and days finding the backgrounds of the facts from books in the corridors of the Houses of Parliament.

It inspired me think a lot, especially when I got a lot of troubles in my study. To this day, I still work very hard on every speech or interview I take, including this one. And I thank the English Speaking Union for giving me speaking and debating skill training courses which I have taken in Oxford when I studied in UK. Now we have an opportunity to check whether the trainings worked for me or not. The ESU may take the blame if I was not proud to be an excellent speaker.

Today, my topic is To Understand China Better.

According to Global Language Monitor, an American research institution following the global media reports, on its list of the Top News of the last decade, the rise of china ranked first, even far ahead of 9.11 Terrorism Attack and the war in Iraq.

Definitely, the year of 2009 will probably be remembered in our history, as China’s transition into playing a significant role in the world.

Here in London, I could clearly feel that China is stepping onto the world stage. During the G20 Economic Summit in London, the close cooperation between China, US, UK and other countries shows that China has come to the centre stage when dealing with global issues.

President Obama referred that China’s playing a larger role in global issues was one of the biggest things over the last 20 years during his recent visit to China.

However, many people in western countries find it difficult to understand China, while some Chinese people doubted the western world’s intentions on China.

So how can we define China? It’s very hard to answer simple with a few words. It is

never a simple question. China is too big, too diverse and too fast changing. In my opinion, today’s China is a great power with multiple characteristics.

Let me explain my words in detail:

First, china is a country that has rapidly developed over the past 30 years.

In 1996, China’s GDP was 1 trillion RMB. In 2008, it grew to 20 trillion RMB. It means that the Chinese economy has grown 20 times in 13 years’ time and has become the third economic entity in the world. The economic worth created in one day in 2008 was larger than the total values of the national wealth in 1952. With the greatly gained wealth, China has lifted 250 million people out of poverty in the last 3 decades. So when I read the UN hunger report, I am so proud for what China has done, with only 7% of the world’s arable land feeding 20% of the world’s population. Through the long history of China, food was always a big problem for the Chinese people. I remembered that until 1980s, the Chinese people greeted each other by asking “Have you had your meals?” But now, if you ask someone from my daughter’s generation such a question, they might think there is something wrong with you.

驻英国大使傅莹有关“气候变化与中国”的演讲

2009年12月2日,中国驻英国大使傅莹应邀在伦敦政治经济学院(LSE)发表题为“气候变化与中国”的演讲,全面阐述中国应对气候变化的政策、立场及所采取的措施,并现场回答听众提问。

尊敬的CORBRIDGE教授,

女士们,先生们,

Professor Corbridge,

Ladies and Gentlemen,

很荣幸来到伦敦经济学院,就气候变化这一重大问题进行交流。我感觉特别荣幸,这是因为伦敦经济学院以在气候变化领域的研究著称,你们的研究为全球讨论做出了突出贡献。 I am honoured to talk to you on such an important subject as climate change. It's a special honour, because the LSE is well-known for its scholarship on climate change and its crucial contribution to this global debate.

中国是一个有着13亿人口的大国,气候类型多样,环境脆弱。气候变化给中国带来诸多不利影响。

China is a huge country with a population of 1.3 billion. It has diverse climatic conditions and a fragile environment. The effect of climate change is a very real threat which we face everyday. 根据中国科学家的观察,过去50年里中国的平均气温上升了1.1摄氏度,高于同期全球平均升温水平。在中国的许多地方,极端气候现象更为频繁。例如,今年春天中国北方出现50年以来最为严重的干旱,给400多万人的带来生计困难。

According to Chinese scientists, the average temperature in China has risen by 1.1 degrees centigrade in the last 5 decades. It is higher than the reported global average. We are seeing more frequent bouts of extreme weather in many parts of the country. Last spring, for example, the most severe drought in 50 years hit northern China affecting the livelihood of 4 million people.

环境污染和气候变化带来的不利影响对我们来说已是现实。全球空气污染最严重的20个城市中,中国占了一半,70%的河流受到不同程度的污染。中国已成为全球第一大二氧化碳排放国。

Environmental damage and climate change is a reality for us. Out of the world's most polluted 20 cities, half are in China. 70% of Chinese rivers are polluted to some degree. China has become the largest carbon emitter of the world.

这些问题是如何造成的?中国近年在减贫和提高人民生活水平的同时,也出现了严重的环境问题。与你们不同的是,我们是用30年的浓缩时间,走西方国家两个世纪的工业化进程。 How have we got here? China has reached this stage when it is making great endeavours to lift people out of poverty. Unlike you here, we have condensed 2 centuries of industrialization into only 30 years.

中国人民已经充分认识到气候变化问题的严重性和紧迫性,我们在以发展经济的同样热情投入到实现可持续发展的努力之中。在中国,气候变化不仅仅是一个讨论的话题,举国上下正在通过政策和行动积极应对气候变化。我愿与你们分享一些这方面的例子。

Now, the Chinese people have woken to the threat and, with the same zeal that we have embraced industrialization, we are embracing cleaner development. In China, climate change is not just a topic for discussion; It's backed up with policy and action throughout the country. Let me share some examples with you.

第一,中国制定了节能减排的法律和政策框架。

First, on the legal and policy front.

中国在制定2006-2010年的第十一个“五年计划”时,第一次提出了应对气候变化的具体目标,包括降低单位GDP能耗20%。

China set forward a voluntary reduction program for 2006 to 2010 period, including 20% reduction in energy intensity per unit of GDP.

为实现这个目标,中国修订了《节约能源法》、《可再生能源法》等法律,制定了严格的节能指标考核制度,完不成任务的地方领导人将面临严格的问责制。

To achieve this, we amended the Law on Energy Saving and the Law on Renewable Energy. We've also set up a strict evaluation system for energy efficiency. This enables the central government to hold provincial leaders accountable for meeting energy efficiency targets.

上个月,中央政府在网站上公布了2008年各省区节能目标考核结果。全国31个省区中,26个省为“超额完成”或“完成”等级。由于增加了透明度,未完成目标的省区面临公众很大的压力。

Last month, the evaluation result for 2008 was released on the web for all to access. Out of 31 provinces and regions, 26 fulfilled emission reduction targets. One can't underscore enough the importance of having such transparency as it places great pressure on those who are not meeting the target.

从表格上可以看出来,北京市做得不错,超额完成了当年指标,而且已完成了2010年20%目标的17%。而新疆则落后了一些,如期完成目标有很大困难,需要得到许多支持。

Beijing is doing better, over-fulfilling its target for 2008, with over 7%. I am sure the Olympics helped. It has already achieved over 17% for the 20% target of 2010. At the bottom, you can see Xinjiang. It is lagging far behind and looks unlikely to meet the target and would need a lot of help.

第二,采取严格的产业政策,鼓励清洁发展。

Secondly, now the industries have to take very tough decisions to achieve clean development. 政府严格控制新建高排放、高污染项目,淘汰现有落后产能。可以理解,落实这项措施一开始会很困难,遇到一些阻力,因为关闭高污染企业意味着就业岗位的损失。

Projects with high emission can no longer go ahead and some existing high emitters are being phased out. It is understandably difficult to push through such reforms and there is, inevitably, resistance. Being a developing country, shutting down factories means job losses for many who need them.

比如,中国提出5年内拆除淘汰5000万千瓦(50GW)老发电机装机容量的目标提前一年半完成,使单位发电的煤耗降低了20%。但这项措施导致40万人面临再就业问题。

For example, we have achieved cutting down the average consumption of coal per unit of power by 20%, by demolishing the high-polluting and inefficient power plants. But it led to the loss of 400,000 jobs.

第三,大力发展清洁替代能源。

So the third point is that we have increased and will continue to increase the percentage of cleaner alternative energy sources.

低碳和新能源产业正在成为中国经济的新亮点,许多英国公司也在与中国开展清洁能源项目的合作。今年1-9月,中国新增发电装机容量中,清洁能源占到1/3。

Low-carbon and energy conservation have become new growth sectors in China. Many British companies are actively involved in clean development projects in China. In the first 9 months of this year, clean energy contributed a third of China's newly added power capacity.

目前,中国在太阳能热水器使用、太阳能光伏发电累计容量和水电装机容量方面均居世界第

一。你们可能还不知道,1/10的中国家庭用上了太阳能,在中国可以看到许多新住宅的屋顶上装上了太阳能板。我自己家的公寓也是使用太阳能供热的,据家里人说今年冬天的使用效果很好。中国人对清洁能源如此热衷,表明我们下决心追求更美好的未来。

China now ranks as first in the world for solar heating and photovoltaic generation, as well as installed hydro power capacity. You may be surprised to know, 1 in 10 families in China already use solar energy. That includes my family. Many new buildings in Chinese cities are equipped with solar energy. The fact that the Chinese people are so keen to adopt clean energy is an excellent indicator of our dedication to a better future.

第四,增加森林碳汇。我们都知道树能吸收二氧化碳,中国人民对植树十分热情,在联合国环境署倡议的“全球10亿棵树”活动中,中国人种了26亿棵树,也就是人均2棵,一个多么令人震惊的数字。

Next, let's talk about trees and reforestation. We all know how trees can absorb CO2 from the atmosphere. Chinese people have really taken tree-planting to heart. It has even become fashionable for young couples to plant trees to mark their wedding. China has planted more trees than any other country in the world, with 2.6 billion trees planted. That is 2 trees per individual, an incredible number.

第五,我们知道要切实实现减排的宏伟目标,唯一的手段是通过发展科学和技术,这就是为什么中国加大了应对气候变化的科研投入。中国已成为各种新能源技术的巨大实验基地。 Last but not least, the only means for China to really achieve its ambitious plan is through science and technology. This is why China is investing heavily in research and development. The country has become a giant laboratory for testing all kinds of clean energy technologies.

为应对国际金融危机,中国在新增4万亿元(4000亿英镑)的经济刺激方案中,应对气候变化相关投资达15%。我想你们会认为这不是一个小的数额,特别是考虑到我们正处在金融危机当中。

In the latest stimulus package worth 400 billion pound, 15% was invested in addressing climate change. I am sure you will agree that it is a huge amount by any standard, especially during the financial crisis.

经过努力,中国节能减排取得明显进展,有望如期完成2010年目标。仅提高能效一项,中国就有望在2006-2010年间减少二氧化碳排放15亿吨。这个数字与世界上其他任何国家的减排努力相比都毫不逊色。

Thanks to all these efforts, China is well on track to reach our targets set for 2010. That would mean a reduction in CO2 emissions of 1.5 billion tons in five years by 2010. This is an achievement that compares well with the efforts of other countries.

在今年9月召开的联合国气候变化峰会上,胡锦涛主席宣布中国将进一步采取应对气候变化的措施。上周四,中国政府宣布了2020年行动目标,包括:

At the UN climate change summit last September, President Hu Jintao stated that China would take even further steps to counter climate change. To follow up, the Chinese government has announced its targets for 2020 based on 2005 levels.

- 单位GDP二氧化碳排放比2005年下降40-45%;

- 非化石能源比重达到15%;

- 森林面积比2005年增加4000万公顷,这个面积相当于英国领土的1.5倍。

They include:

-bringing down CO2 per unit of GDP by 40-45%,

-increasing the ratio of non-fossil energy to 15%,

-expanding forest coverage by 40 million hectares, that is bigger than one and half times the size of United Kingdom.

我们将把这些目标作为约束性和可核查指标纳入中国的发展中长期规划。

We will make all these into compulsory and verifiable targets, within the framework of our domestic development program.

但是,希望能理解,完成这些目标会越来越困难。请允许我说明一下为什么是这样。

I hope you will appreciate that achieving these targets and further reducing emission will get increasingly harder. Let me elaborate on that point.

中国已经关闭了很多高耗能工厂,也就是说,容易做的已经做了。1990-2005年间,中国单位GDP能耗下降了47%,预计2005-2010年将再下降20%。进一步提高能效,将付出更高成本、做出更多牺牲。

We have already closed down many of the old and high energy consuming factories, That is to say, the easier part is done. Between 1990 to 2005, the per unit GDP energy consumption came down by 47% and between 2005 to 2010 it will again come down by 20%. The next will be raising the energy efficiency of the remaining plants. It's going to cost more and involve more sacrifice to reduce further.

这也就是为什么科技研发对中国是如此重要,只有创新方能干使中国实现这个跨越。也是由于这个原因,我们希望发达国家转让技术和提供能力支持。

This is why investing in research and development is so critical for us, as only innovation can help China to make that leap. And this is why we are looking to developed countries for technology transfer and capacity building.

国际能源署预测,如果中国实现了2020年目标,届时中国一年即可减排10亿吨二氧化碳。这将是一个巨大的成就,因为我们还是一个发展中国家,同时还面临着发展的巨大任务。 According to the International Energy Agency, if China fulfils its target for 2020, it will have reduced its emissions of CO2 by 1 billion tons. That will be a great achievement, given that we are a developing country and we have equally pressing survival priorities.

下面我将详细谈谈这个问题。虽然中国经济总量有望不久成为世界第二,但很多人经常忘记中国还是一个发展中国家这一事实。

If you would allow me, I'd like to expand on this point; China may soon become the 2nd largest economy in the world. Yet it remains a developing country. This is something that many people often forget.

中国人均GDP刚过3000美元,分别是英国、美国的1/15、1/20,在世界排名第104位,排在牙买加和纳米比亚之后。

China's per capita GDP has just passed 3,000 US dollars. UK and US are 15 to 20 times that of China. China is behind Jamaica and Namibia.

请大家回答我一个问题:英国在历史上是哪年处于中国目前的人均水平?根据英国经济学Angus Maddison的计算,答案是1913年。

Now, let me ask you all a question: In which year in history do you think Britain was at the same income level China now is at? According to British economist Angus Maddison, the answer is the year 1913.

下面这个数字可能让你们一些人吃惊,中国目前仍有1.35亿人每天生活费不足1美元。我们熟视无睹的最基本生活需求,比如说水,在中国一些地区都是人们不可及的。

In per capita GDP terms, China only ranks at 104th place in the world. It might be a surprise to some of you that China has 135 million people living under one dollar a day. Sometimes even the most basic things that we take for granted, like water, are beyond the reach of some Chinese people.

例如,在中国西北的甘肃省,有些地方非常缺水,一个村子的农民一辈子只洗三次澡,出生的时候、结婚的时候,还有死的时候。

Take for example, in China's northwest, water is so scarce that farmers in a village in Gansu province only take three baths in their entire life, at birth, at marriage and at death.

当我们讨论气候变化的时候,我们常常只是谈论科学事实和数据,但我们不应忘记还有人的因素。

When discussing climate change, we tend to talk mostly about facts and figures, but we should not forget that, there is also the human dimension.

想象一下,当这个村庄通电之后(中国正在实现村村通电),不仅农民可以打机井从地下深处取水,他们的孩子们也能从电视上看到外面的精彩世界,他们当然会梦想一个更好的生活,得到许多的东西。

Imagine when electricity reaches this Gansu village, which is what China has been doing, bringing electricity to every village, not only are the farmers able to drill deeper for water, but also their children would be able to watch TV for the first time and see the wonderful outside world. They of course will dream about a better life and all the things that come with it.

我们能告诉他们:你们没有权利拥有我们所拥有的生活吗?

我们能告诉他们:你们不能像电视里看到的上海人或伦敦人一样生活吗?

为什么这些孩子不能拥有IPOD、手提电脑和冰箱,甚至汽车呢?

Who are we to tell them, that they have no right to have what we have? Who are we to tell them that they can't live like the people in Shanghai or London they see on TV? Why can't they have ipods, laptops and refrigerators, or even cars?

这就是在应对气候变化问题中的人的因素,这也是挑战之所在。

This is the human dimension, and this is the challenge.

中国的使命就在于,如何使13亿人都有机会实现他们的梦想,但是是要以对环境负责的方式来实现。

China's difficult mission is to enable all of its 1.3 billion people to have the opportunity to realize their dreams, but to achieve it in a environmentally responsible way.

现在让我们回到前面说的中国是第一大排放国的问题上。如果看人均排放量,中国是4.6吨,而美国是20吨,英国是10吨。比较来看,不能说中国是“对能源贪婪”吧?

Now let's come back to the point about China being the world's biggest CO2 emitter. If you look at the figures in per capita terms, an average Chinese person's emission is 4.6 tons. An average American emits 20 tons, in the yellow colour and Britain 10 tons in the blue colour. You can hardly call China energy greedy, can you?

篇三:傅莹大使的离任讲话(中文)

中国驻英国大使傅颖的离任讲话

1 感谢各位出席今晚的招待会。此时我百感交集。二十世纪20年代时任中国驻英国的公使是顾维钧,是我非常敬仰的一位外交家。当有人问他中国人最残酷的一句话是什么时,他说:天下没有不散的筵席。离任就像是席末杯中的那最后一口酒,甘醇中已经有了些许的苦涩。

2 作为外交官,又是蒙古族人,我是个天生的游牧者,似乎一生都在不断地履新和离别之间徘徊。在布加勒斯特、金边、雅加达、马尼拉和堪培拉,都有过美好的岁月,而每次告别都依依不舍。现在即将离开伦敦和英国,心里更充满了难舍的眷恋。我会怀念在这里结交的许多好朋友,正是在他们的支持和帮助下,我才得以更好地了解英国和英国人民。

3 三年来,我走过英国许多的城镇和街巷,著名中国作家王蒙曾写道:抵达伦敦如同抵达一幅早已熟悉的油画。我深有同感。英国的生活丰富多彩,无论是在如同隔世的剧场里欣赏名剧,还是足球场上狂热的喝彩,抑或是赛马场里激奋的人群,都令人印象深刻,使我感受到英国人对生活的认真和考究。

4 不少人问我,最留恋英国的是什么?与许多中国人一样,我从小就接触到英国文学,有幸在这里追寻名著作者的足迹,简〃奥斯汀临窗撰写《傲慢与偏见》的小圆桌在我的脑海里留下深深的印记;博朗蒂姐妹汲取灵感的荒原引发我无限的遐想;威廉〃华兹华斯静谧的湖畔故居让我流连忘返。这都使我触摸到英国的文化精华,也是将中国众多游客源源不断吸引来的文化魅力。

5 在我任内的三年,两国关系稳步发展。胡锦涛主席和温家宝总理分别来到英国,布朗首相也访问过北京。两国的领导人和部长之间还经常性会晤或打电话,次数之多,几乎数不清了。两国地方之间的交流也日趋频繁。3年来,中国在英投资增长了6倍,留学生和游客人数也在以双位数增长。听说,去年中国游客在邦德街的购物金额增长了一倍半多。英国保持了欧盟对华最大投资国和第三大贸易伙伴的

地位。去年夏天在北京休假期间,我想挑选一张床垫,最终相中的那款竟然是一个英国19世纪的品牌。

6 “英国设计”这几个字在中国是相当有分量的。英国不仅仅是世界金融中心,我访问过英国中东部和中西部地区,对该地区企业世界领先的创意设计能力印象深刻。这与中国强大的制造能力形成了很强的互补,双方应该加强合作,开发巨大的合作潜力。 //(第一部分完)

7 中英伙伴关系的民众基础在不断加强。在英中贸协、四十八家集团俱乐部、筷子俱乐部等众多的工商、教育和民间友好团体的推动下,英国民众对中国产生了浓厚的兴趣,也创造了众多的商机,我们应该继续推动这一良好的势头。记得不久前出席特色学校校长年会的时候了解到,英国特色学校联盟的目标是给所有想学中文的孩子提供中文课程,充分说明两国关系的民众基础是深厚的。英国民众在2008年地震后对中国的关心和慷慨帮助令我终身难忘。记得当时一个19岁的男孩Issac Lewis从威尔士家乡步行240英里,一路筹款到伦敦来。我对双边关系的前景非常乐观。

8 但是,今天既然是在朋友们中间,我也想说,过去的三年也是我外交生涯最为波澜起伏的一段经历。每当两国不能达到彼此的要求或出现意见不一致时,英方会倾向于评判和指责中国。每次遇到问题和困难,我都试图从两国的历史智慧中寻求灵感,与英国同事一道,通过坦诚沟通找到化解分歧的思路,维护双边关系稳定发展的大局。

9 西方需要做出是否接受中国作为平等伙伴的决断,做伙伴就意味着在出现问题的时候,要接触对话,而不是批评说教。英方不能叶公好龙,表面上说欢迎中国崛起,但实际上并不了解中国。如果西方对华接触的目标是改变中国,那西方就永远不会满意,双方在国际合作中也难以同心协力。中国正处在改革的进程中,世界上有哪一个大国能像中国这样把改革作为国家的根本政策方向?这正是因为我们认识到自己有许多需要改进之处。但中国的改革将以自己的方式按自己的步伐进行,改革的目标是服务中国人民的利益,而不是为了满足西方的要求。

10 只有尽快消除成见,更好地了解中国,双方才能认识到彼此的不同和多元化,才能建立以理解和尊重为基础的稳固的双边关系。中国也需要努力学习如何更好地向世界介绍自己,我给同事们留下的建议是:沟通,沟通,再沟通。这对于中英两国尤为重要,因为两国关系已经超出了双边范畴,越来越需要在全球性问题上更紧密地合作。

11 即将离开英国的时刻,工作上有了一些句号,做成了一些事情,但是也有不少“逗号”,不少工作还没有完成,还有一些“问号”。但是我对中英关系的坚定承诺没有改变,相信在双方共同努力下,中英关系的明天将更加美好。我希望各位热烈欢迎我的继任刘晓明大使,一如既往地支持他的工作。我也要感谢使馆的同事在过去3年里给我的大力支持,感谢海德饭店为我们今天的酒会提供这样好的场地。

12 下周一我就要离开伦敦了。临走之前,我会最后一次去公园慢跑,最后一次到牛津街漫步。人还未离开,已经开始想念英国了。希望我们的友谊长存。
