2012十八大熱詞專題

11月15日，中國共產黨第十八次全國代表大會新一屆中共中央政治局常委在人民大會堂一樓東大廳與中外記者見面。以下為習近平講話的中英文對照。

中共中央總書記習近平:

女士們，先生們，朋友們：大家好！讓大家久等了，很高興同各位記者朋友見面。

昨天，中國共產黨第十八次全國代表大會勝利閉幕了。這些天來，各位記者朋友們對這次大會作了大量報道，向世界各國傳遞了許多“中國聲音”。大家很敬業、很專業、很辛苦，在此，我代表十八大大會秘書處，向你們表示衷心的感謝。

Ladies and gentlemen, friends, good morning. It's a great pleasure to meet you, friends from the press. The 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China came to a successful conclusion yesterday. During the past week, you have extensively covered the Party congress and let the world hear China's voice. On behalf of the secretariat of the 18th Party Congress, I wish to express our sincere thanks to you for your professionalism, dedication and hard work.

剛才，我們召開了中國共產黨第十八屆中央委員會第一次全體會議，會議上選舉產生了新一屆中央領導機構。全會選舉產生了七位中央政治局常委，選舉我擔任中共中央總書記。接下來，我把其他6位常委同事向大家介紹一下。

Just now, the 18th CPC Central Committee held its first plenary meeting and elected the new central leadership. The plenary meeting elected seven members of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau. I was elected general secretary of the CPC Central Committee by the plenary session. I wish to introduce to you the other six newly elected members of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau.

他們是：李克強同志、張德江同志、俞正聲同志、劉云山同志、王岐山同志、張高麗同志。

李克強同志是十七屆中央政治局常委，其他同志都是十七屆中央政治局委員，大家對他們都比較了解。

They are: comrade Li Keqiang, comrade Zhang Dejiang, comrade Yu Zhengsheng, comrade Liu Yunshan, comrade Wang Qishan and comrade Zhang Gaoli. Comrade Li Keqiang was a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the 17th CPC Central Committee, and all the others were members of the Political Bureau of the 17th CPC Central Committee. I believe their names are familiar to you.

在這里，我代表新一屆中央領導機構成員，衷心感謝全黨同志對我們的信任。我們一定不負重托，不辱使命！

Here, on behalf of the members of the newly elected central leadership, I wish to express our heartfelt thanks to all other members of the Party for the great trust they have placed on us. We will strive to be worthy of their trust and fulfill our mission.

全黨同志的重托，全國各族人民的期望，這是對我們做好工作的巨大鼓舞，也是我們肩上沉沉的擔子。

We are greatly encouraged by both the trust all the comrades of the Party have placed on us and the great expectations the people of all ethnic groups in China have of us, and we are keenly aware that this is also an important responsibility for us.

這個重大的責任，是對民族的責任。我們的民族是偉大的民族。在五千多年的文明發展歷程中，中華民族為人類的文明進步作出了不可磨滅的貢獻。近代以后，我們的民族歷經磨難，中華民族到了最危險的時候。自那時以來，為了實現中華民族偉大復興，無數仁人志士奮起抗爭，但一次又一次地失敗了。

We have taken on this important responsibility for our nation. Ours is a great nation. Throughout more than 5,000 years of evolution as a civilization, the Chinese nation has made an indelible contribution to the progress of human civilization.

During the modern era (from the mid-19th century to the mid-20th century), our nation underwent untold hardship and suffering, and its very survival hung in the balance. Since then, numerous Chinese patriots rose up one after another and fought for the renewal of the Chinese nation, but failed one time after another.
