A message from British Prime Minister Gordon Brown to the People’s Republic of China
英國首相戈登?布朗慶賀中國國慶60週年賀詞
This year marks the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China -- and I would like to send my personal best wishes to the Chinese people and government and to the large Chinese community here in Britain.
今年是中華人民共和國建國六十週年，我在此謹向中國人民、人民以及英國的華人華僑獻上我個人的衷心祝賀。
Since the 1970s, China’s reforms have brought more people out of poverty in a shorter time than in any other country in history – with profound effects not just for the one fifth of the world’s population who are Chinese but for us all.
自上世紀七十年代以來，中國的改革讓更多人在短時間內脱離了貧困，比歷史上任何其他國家所用的時間都要短。這一結果深刻影響到的不僅僅是佔世界1/5比例的中國人，也包括我們所有人。
Today, the country that for centuries gave the world so many of its most important inventions and accounted for so much of its economic growth has been restored to its position as a great global power -- and your role in the global economy means that we in Britain have a deep interest in your continued stability, prosperity and success.
今天，這個數百年來為世界貢獻了眾多重要發明並在世界經濟增長中佔了相當大比重的國家， 已經重新迴歸了其全球大國的`地位——你們在世界經濟中所扮演的角色也意味着，中國繼續的穩定、繁榮和成功，對於英國也利益攸關。
Built and strengthened through a policy of close dialogue and engagement, our relations today are the best that that they have ever been -- and I would like to give three examples of this.
現在，我們所建立並通過密切對話與交流政策而得以增強的兩國關係，處於歷史以來的最好階段，我來舉下面三個例子進行説明。
Firstly, the global economy. I was particularly pleased to work closely with China’s leaders on the London summit earlier this year -- and China’s determination to take its rightful place in international economic governance was welcomed by all in the G20.
首先是世界經濟，我非常高興能夠在今年上半年的倫敦峯會上與中國領導人緊密合作——中國決心在國際經濟治理中承擔適當角色的決定受到了20國集團所有成員的歡迎。
