第一讲 “一带一路”倡议
The Belt and Road Initiative
两千多年前,我们的先辈怀着友好交往的朴素愿望,穿越草原沙漠,开辟出联通亚欧非的陆上丝绸之路,开辟了人类文明史上的大交流时代。一千多年前,我们的先辈扬帆远航,穿越惊涛骇浪,闯荡出连接东西方的海上丝绸之路,开启了人类文明交融新时期。
Over two millennia ago, inspired by a sincere wish for friendship, our ancestors travelled across grasslands and deserts to create a land Silk Road connecting Asia, Europe and Africa, leading the world into an era of extensive cultural exchanges. More than 1,000 years ago, our ancestors set sail and braved the waves to open a maritime Silk Road linking the East and the West, beginning a new phase of closer communication among peoples.
古丝绸之路绵亘万里,延续千年,不仅是一条通商易货之路,也是一条文明交流之路,为人类社会发展进步作出了重大贡献。上世纪80年代以来,联合国和一些国家先后提出欧亚大陆桥设想、丝绸之路复兴计划等,反映了各国人民沟通对话、交流合作的共同愿望。
Spanning thousands of miles and years, the ancient silk routes were not only routes for trade but also roads for cultural exchanges. They made a great contribution to human progress. In the 1980s, the United Nations and some countries began to envisage the Eurasian Land Bridge, the Silk Road Initiative, and other plans, reflecting a common wish to engage in communication and cooperation.
2013年3月,习近平主席提出构建人类命运共同体理念;9月和10月,先后提出共建“丝绸之路经济带”和“21世纪海上丝绸之路”。共建“一带一路”倡议,创造性地传承弘扬古丝绸之路这一人类历史文明发展成果,并赋予其新的时代精神和人文内涵,为构建人类命运共同体提供了实践平台。
In March 2013, President Xi Jinping proposed the vision of a global community of shared future; in September and October that year, he raised the initiatives of joining with others to build a Silk Road Economic Belt and a 21st Century Maritime Silk Road (Belt and Road Initiative, or BRI). The Belt and Road Initiative is a creative development that takes on and carries forward the spirit of the ancient silk routes – two of the great achievements in human history and civilization. It enriches the ancient spirit with the zeitgeist and culture of the new era, and provides a platform for building a global community of shared future.
10年来,在各方的共同努力下,共建“一带一路”从中国倡议走向国际实践,从理念转化为行动,从愿景转变为现实,从谋篇布局的“大写意”到精耕细作的“工笔画”,取得实打实、沉甸甸的成就,成为深受欢迎的国际公共产品和国际合作平台。
Since its launch 10 years ago, thanks to the combined efforts of all parties, cooperation under the BRI framework has expanded beyond the borders of China to become an international effort. It has evolved from ideas into actions, from a vision into reality, and from a general framework into concrete projects. It has been welcomed by the international community both as a public good and a cooperation platform, and has achieved solid results.
10年来,共建“一带一路”不仅给相关国家带来实实在在的利益,也为推进经济全球化健康发展、破解全球发展难题和完善全球治理体系作出积极贡献,开辟了人类共同实现现代化的新路径,推动构建人类命运共同体落地生根。
Over the past decade, BRI cooperation has delivered real gains to participating countries. It has contributed to the sound development of economic globalization and helped to resolve global development challenges and improve the global governance system. It has also opened up a new path for all humanity to realize modernization, and ensured that the efforts of building a global community of shared future are delivering real results.
当今世界正处于百年未有之大变局,人类文明发展面临越来越多的问题和挑战。中国着眼人类前途命运和整体利益,因应全球发展及各国期待,继承和弘扬丝路精神这一人类文明的宝贵遗产,提出共建“一带一路”倡议。这一倡议,连接着历史、现实与未来,源自中国、面向世界、惠及全人类。
The world today is going through profound change on a scale unseen in a century. Problems and challenges continue to threaten the progress of human civilization. In response to a changing global situation and the expectations of the international community, and with the future and overall interests of humanity in mind, China proposed the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). Committed to the Silk Road spirit, a great heritage of human civilization, the BRI connects the past, the present, and the future. This initiative was launched by China, but it belongs to the world and benefits the whole of humanity.
