(中英双语)杨洁篪：自信互信,共襄盛举

欧洲对古今丝绸之路的热情并不偶然，从一个侧面反映了世界对亚洲古老文明和当今发展

潜力的再认识，反映了经济全球化和世界多极化背景下东西方交流合作的新趋势。

欧洲是古代丝绸之路的终点，但丝绸原产于中国， 丝绸之路的起点在中国，许多重要地域

是在亚洲。中国和亚洲各国人民筚路蓝缕走出这条 路，披星戴月维护这条路，对丝绸之路

有着天然的亲近感。可以说，丝绸之路是亚洲各国 共同历史与辉煌文明的见证，是亚洲人

民历史文化自豪感的源泉，也是亚洲各国团结合作 的旗帜。

Europe's enthusiasm for the Silk Road, both the ancient and the modern, is nothing accidental.

It is one reflection of the world's renewed recognition of Asia's time-honored civilizations and

its

development

potential

today.

It

shows

a

new

trend

of

communication

and

cooperation

between the East and the West amid economic globalization and a move toward multi- polarity.

Europe

was

the

end

of

the

ancient

Silk

Road,

yet

silk

originated

from

China,

where

the

Silk

Road started, and many important areas of the Silk Road ran through Asia. The Asian people

opened the Silk Road, withstanding great hardships, and preserved it throughout the years. We

therefore

feel

a

natural

affinity

for

the

Silk

Road,

which

had

once

witnessed

the

common

history

and

glory

of

the

Asian

civilizations.

For

the

Asian

people,

the

Silk

Road

provides

a

source

of

historical

and

cultural

pride,

and

stands

as

a

flag

of

unity

and

cooperation

among

Asian countries.

丝绸之路给了亚洲人历史文化的自信。

2000

多年前丝绸之 路开辟之际，亚洲早已孕育出成

熟的文明，生产力、管理水平和开放程度领先世界，很多 考古发现和西方学者都证明了这

一点。佛教、基督教、伊斯兰教等宗教的发祥地都在亚洲 ，丝绸、瓷器、漆器、铁器、马

鞍、源于中国的“四大发明” 和源于印度的“阿拉伯数字”

，都曾是亚洲的“专利”

。通过< /p>

丝绸之路，亚洲国家敞开胸怀接纳外国商人和学子，毫无保留提供最先进的商品和技术。< /p>

The Silk Road has given the people of Asia confidence in their history and culture. As early as

over

2,000

years

ago,

when

the

Silk

Road

first

began

to

take

shape,

Asia

already

boasted

matured civilizations and was leading the world in productivity, managerial expertise and the

level

of

openness.

Ample

proof

of

this

could

be

found

in

archeological

discoveries

and

the

study

by

western

scholars.

Asia

was

the

cradle

of

Buddhism,

Christianity

and

Islam.

Silk,

porcelain,

lacquer

ware

,

ironware,

saddle,

the

four

great

inventions

of

ancient

China

(papermaking,

gunpowder,

movable-type

printing

and

compass)

and

the

Arabic

numeral

s

of

India

were

all,

at

one time,

the

proprietary

rights

of Asia.

It was

through the

Silk

Road

that

Asian

countries

embraced

foreign

merchants

and

students

and

shared

with

them,

without

reservation, Asia's most advanced commodities and technologies.

近代以来，亚洲国家落后了，饱受列强侵略、殖民之苦，面临 外部强势文化的冲击，但亚

洲国家珍爱自己的历史文化，维护自己的价值观根基。今天亚 洲人不会陶醉于过去的光荣

历史，也不会为历史悲情所累，而是从传统文化中汲取自强创 新的营养，谱写美好的历史

新篇。

Since

modern

times,

however,

Asian

countries

have

been

left

behind,

suffering

from

the

invasion and colonization of foreign powers and the shock of strong cultures from the outside.

Nevertheless, Asian countries cherish their own history and culture, and have sought to uphold

the roots of their own values. Today, the people of Asia, neither conceited with past glory nor

indulged in the memory of old sufferings, have chosen to draw strength from their tradition

and culture, be innovative and strive to write a new chapter in Asia's history.

丝绸之路给了亚洲人发展 道路的自信。多样性和多元化是亚洲的特色和优势，丝绸之路上

每一个文明、民族和国家 都有自己的社会土壤和发展轨迹，都是平等和独特的，没有高低

优劣的区别，也没有强求 一致的必要。基于多样性，商人们才能互通有无，智者们才能交

流互鉴，世界也才能丰富 多彩。古代的丝绸之路不是一条，而是存在许多路径的选择，涵

盖了亚洲和欧洲广大的地 区和国家。这对我们今天思考发展道路问题颇有启示。

The

Silk

Road

has

given

the

people

of

Asia

confidence

in

their

development

paths.

Heterogeneity

and diversity is the very feature and advantage of Asia. Every civilization, ethnic

group and country along the Silk Road has its own social soil and development trajectory and

everyone is equal and unique. The difference is never about which is superior and there is no

need

to

force

conformity.

It

is

based

on

heterogeneity

that

businessmen

have

been

able

to

trade, wise men communicate and the world be diverse and colorful. Instead of being just one

single

road,

the

ancient

Silk

Road

actually

provided

a

choice

of

several

roads,

which

passed

through

broad

areas

and

many

countries

in

Asia

and

Europe.

This

is

quite

inspiring

as

we

engage ourselves in discussion on our development paths today.

近现 代以来，亚洲的仁人志士苦苦探索国强民富之路，经历了很多挫折，结论是发展道路

必须 立足本国国情，可以借鉴外国经验但绝不能照搬。基于这一认识，依靠自力更生和国

礼。亚洲开发银行的最新报告预测，

45

个亚洲发展中经济体今明两年的经济增长将分别达

到

6.2%< /p>

和

6.4%

，高出发达国家平均增长率两 倍以上。这十分不容易，说明亚洲国家坚持走

自己的路是对的，这条路有荆棘，但却是康 庄大道。

Since modern times, patriots and righteous people in Asia have explored tirelessly paths to a

prosperous

and

strong

nation.

After

experiencing

many

setbacks,

they

have

come

to

the

conclusion that to choose a proper development path, one must bear in mind the distinctive

national conditions and that one may learn from but should never copy the experience of other

countries. It is based on such an understanding that Asia, after the end of the Cold War, created

miracles of economic development by working hard on its own and carrying out international

cooperation. Asia has stood the test of the Asian financial crisis and the international financial

crisis.

According

to

the

latest

forecast

of

the

Asian

Development

Bank,

45

developing

economies in Asia will achieve a growth rate of 6.2% this year and 6.4% next year, more than

twice the average for developed countries. Such result is not easily gained. It shows that Asian

countries have done the right thing in sticking to their own paths which, despite thorns on the

way, lead to bright prospects.

丝绸之路给了亚洲人包容合作的自信。通过丝绸之路，东西方 以和平、平等的方式开展多

领域、深层次的交流，亚欧大陆很早就形成了贸易网络，各方 都获益匪浅。古代中国的冶

铁、耕作和水利灌溉技术西传南输，大幅提高了周边国家的生 产力。来自南亚的医学、历

法和雕塑艺术，在中国得到重视和运用。

箜篌

和马球是古代中亚游牧民族的发明，在中国

音乐史和体 育史上都有一席之地。东帝汶的檀香，泰国的大象，老挝的木雕，俄罗斯的毛

皮，欧洲和 西亚的琉璃，巴基斯坦、缅甸和斯里兰卡的宝石，都深受古代中国人民喜爱。

The Silk Road has given the people of Asia confidence to pursue inclusive cooperation. The Silk

Road had enabled the East and the West to thoroughly interact with each other in peace and

equality in all possible areas. The network for trade running over the Eurasian continent way

back

in

the

early

days

brought

benefits

to

all

sides.

The

ancient

Chinese

technologies

of

iron-

smelting

, farming

and irrigation

were

brought

to neighboring countries

to the

west

and

south

of

China

and

greatly

increased

those

countries'

productivity,

while

the

medicine,

calendar and sculpturing art from South Asia were applied and valued in China. The Chinese

Harp and Polo, created by ancient nomads in Central Asia, featured proudly in the history of

Chinese music and sports. The sandalwood from

Timor-Leste

, elephant from Thailand, wood

sculpture from the Laos, leather and fur from Russia, colored glaze from Europe and west Asia,

and gems from Pakistan, Myanmar and Sri Lanka were all highly popular with ancient Chinese.

一些宗教或宗教教派通过陆海丝绸之路传 入中国，与中国的本土宗教相互融合，和谐相处。

古代中外的使节、商人和取经求法的智 者，得到了丝绸之路沿途民众的无私帮助，否则他

们寸步难行。

今天亚洲国家的交通和物质条件好多了，区域合作也进入新阶段，亚洲国家应当弘扬和平

友好、开放包容、互利共赢的丝绸之路精神，赋予其新的时代内涵。
