尊敬的美中贸易全国委员会主席穆泰康先生、美中关系全国委员会主席希尔斯女士，
女士们，先生们，朋友们：
Ladies and gentlemen,
Dear friends,
首先，感谢美中贸易全国委员会、美中关系全国委员会等友好团体共同举办这场欢迎宴会，使我有机会同各位新老朋友再次相聚、畅叙友情、共话未来。同时，我也要向在座各位和所有关心和支持中美关系发展的美国各界人士，表示诚挚问候和良好祝愿!
I wish to begin by thanking the U.S.-China Business Council, the National Committee on U.S.-China Relations and other friendly organizations for hosting this welcoming luncheon. I am delighted to have this opportunity to meet friends, old and new, to renew friendship and plan for the future. I would like to extend cordial greetings and best wishes to you and to people from various sectors of the United States who have long cared for and supported the growth of China-U.S. relations.
74年前的今天，罗斯福总统发表了题为《通往持续进步之路》的就职演说，号召刚刚从严重经济危机中走出来的美国人民团结一致，加倍努力，沿着持续进步的道路勇往直前。当前，国际金融危机导致的急剧动荡逐渐缓解，世界经济正在恢复增长，但不稳定不确定因素仍然较多，世界经济复苏进程仍将艰难曲折。包括中美两国在内的世界各国都希望尽快彻底摆脱国际金融危机影响、推动世界经济全面复苏。面对复杂多变的国际形势，面对各种风险和挑战，中美两国人民应该加强合作，同各国人民一道，共同分享机遇、应对挑战，共同开创人类发展更加美好的未来。
On this day 74 years ago, President Franklin Roosevelt made his inaugural speech "The Road of Enduring Progress." He called on the American people who were coming out of the depression to unite as one and redouble their efforts to forge ahead along the road of enduring progress. Today, the turbulence caused by the international financial crisis is receding and the world economy is returning to growth. Yet there still exist many uncertainties and destabilizing factors, making the world economic recovery a tortuous process. All countries in the world, including China and the United States, want to fully emerge from the crisis as soon as possible and achieve a full recovery of the world economy. In the face of the complex and fluid international situation and various risks and challenges, the people of our two countries should step up cooperation and work with people across the world to share opportunities, meet challenges and build a better future for mankind.
女士们、先生们!
Ladies and gentlemen,
32年前，中国改革开放的总设计师邓小平先生对美国进行了历史性访问。邓小平先生说，太平洋再也不应该是隔开我们的障碍，而应该是联系我们的纽带。历史已经验证了邓小平先生的这个重要断言。
Thirty-two years ago, Mr. Deng Xiaoping, chief architect of China's reform and opening-up, paid a historic visit to the United States. He said during the visit that the Pacific Ocean should no longer be an obstacle that sets us apart. Rather, it should be a bond that links us together. History has proved the correctness of this important statement.
在刚刚过去的21世纪第一个十年，中美两国共同努力，推动21世纪积极合作全面的中美关系不断向前发展，中美关系发展达到从未有过的广度和深度。在国际格局和中美两国不断发展变化的新形势下，怎样才能把健康稳定的中美关系带入下一个十年?
In the first decade of this century, China and the United States worked together and made steady progress in building a positive, cooperative and comprehensive relationship for the 21st century. China-U.S. relations have reached unprecedented breadth and depth. Given the ever changing circumstances in the world and in our respective countries, what should we do to take a sound and steady China-U.S. relationship into the new decade?
回答这个问题，首先要明确中美关系发展的基础是什么。应该说，中美两国从未像今天这样拥有如此广泛的共同利益、负有如此重大的共同责任。
To answer this question, one must, first and foremost, identify the basis for the development of China-U.S. relations. It is fair to say our two countries have never enjoyed such broad common interests and shouldered such important common responsibilities as we do today.
