1. You will soon pay a state visit to the UK. It is learned that both the royal family and the government of the UK attach great importance to your visit and are making meticulous preparations for it. You visited the UK in the 1990s and what was your impression then? What do you expect from your coming visit to the UK after more than 20 years? What will be its impact on China-UK relations and China-EU relations? Some Britons fear China's intentions and believe that the British government is too eager to please China. How do you ensure that China-UK relationship is mutually beneficial?
問(wèn)：您即將對(duì)英國(guó)進(jìn)行國(guó)事訪問(wèn)。據(jù)悉英國(guó)王室和政府高度重視您的這次重要訪問(wèn)并做了精心安排。在上世紀(jì)90年代您曾經(jīng)訪問(wèn)過(guò)英國(guó)，您對(duì)英國(guó)印象如何?對(duì)時(shí)隔20多年再次訪問(wèn)英國(guó)有何期待?這次訪問(wèn)會(huì)對(duì)中英關(guān)系和中歐關(guān)系產(chǎn)生怎樣的影響?一些英國(guó)人對(duì)中國(guó)仍然抱有疑慮，認(rèn)為英國(guó)政府急于討好中國(guó)，如何保證英中關(guān)系互利互惠?

A: I visited London, Oxford, Glasgow and Edinburgh in 1994. I was deeply impressed by the visit, particularly Britain's long history, unique culture, friendly people and its beautiful environment.
答：1994年，我訪問(wèn)過(guò)倫敦、牛津、格拉斯哥、愛(ài)丁堡等地。那次訪問(wèn)給我留下了深刻印象，特別是英國(guó)悠久的歷史、獨(dú)特的文化、友好的人民、優(yōu)美的環(huán)境令人難忘。

During my upcoming state visit to the UK at the invitation of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, I look forward to having discussions with British leaders and engaging the British public on our bilateral ties. I hope this will chart the course for the future growth of China-UK relations, inject new impetus in practical cooperation between our two countries in all fields and enable us to jointly usher in a "golden time" for China-UK comprehensive strategic partnership.
這次我應(yīng)伊麗莎白二世女王邀請(qǐng)對(duì)英國(guó)進(jìn)行國(guó)事訪問(wèn)，期待著同英國(guó)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人和各界朋友共商兩國(guó)關(guān)系發(fā)展大計(jì)，為今后一個(gè)時(shí)期中英關(guān)系繪制路線圖，為兩國(guó)各領(lǐng)域務(wù)實(shí)合作注入新動(dòng)力，共同開(kāi)啟中英全面戰(zhàn)略伙伴關(guān)系的“黃金時(shí)代”。

Public opinion surveys conducted in Britain show that views of China are largely favorable among the British people. Our two peoples appreciate each other's time-honored and unique cultures. This is an important foundation and favorable condition for growing bilateral ties. It is true that some people have some misgivings about China-UK cooperation. What I want to stress is that in today's world, no country can afford to pursue development with its door closed. One should open the door, warmly welcome friends and be hospitable to them. This is recognized international practice. The UK has stated that it will be the Western country that is most open to China. This is a visionary and strategic choice that fully meets Britain's own long-term interest. China looks forward to engaging with the UK in a wider range, at a higher level and in greater depth.
有關(guān)民意調(diào)查顯示，英國(guó)民眾對(duì)中國(guó)持較高的好感度。中英兩國(guó)人民相互欣賞對(duì)方創(chuàng)造的悠久而特殊的文化，這是兩國(guó)關(guān)系發(fā)展的重要基礎(chǔ)和有利條件。當(dāng)然，也有人對(duì)中英合作抱有這樣那樣的疑慮。我想強(qiáng)調(diào)的是，當(dāng)今世界，任何國(guó)家都不能關(guān)起門來(lái)搞建設(shè)。打開(kāi)門，就要熱情接待四方來(lái)客。對(duì)客人熱情周到，是世界公認(rèn)的待客之道。英國(guó)表示愿做對(duì)華最開(kāi)放的西方國(guó)家，這是一個(gè)明智的戰(zhàn)略選擇，也完全符合英國(guó)自身的長(zhǎng)遠(yuǎn)利益。中國(guó)期待著同英國(guó)在更大范圍、更高水平、更深層次上開(kāi)展合作。

In recent years, while global growth has slowed down, China-UK investment and business cooperation has kept growing. The UK has become the EU's second largest investor in China as well as China's second largest trading partner and investment destination in the EU. China has been the UK's second largest non-EU trading partner. In 2014, China-UK trade volume for the first time exceeded 80 billion U.S. dollars, and China's import from the UK has doubled in five years. Two-way investment between China and the UK has grown rapidly. China's investment in the UK has risen at an annual rate of 71.7 percent over the past three years. Last year, the UK investment in China increased by 87.6 percent year-on-year, the fastest among major EU countries.
近年來(lái)，世界經(jīng)濟(jì)增長(zhǎng)總體放緩，但中英兩國(guó)投資經(jīng)貿(mào)合作持續(xù)發(fā)展。英國(guó)已經(jīng)成為歐盟內(nèi)第二大對(duì)華投資國(guó)、中國(guó)在歐盟內(nèi)第二大貿(mào)易伙伴和投資目的國(guó)，中國(guó)則是英國(guó)在歐盟外第二大貿(mào)易伙伴。2014年，中英雙邊貿(mào)易額首次突破800億美元，中國(guó)自英國(guó)進(jìn)口額5年內(nèi)增長(zhǎng)了兩倍。中英雙向投資增長(zhǎng)迅猛。過(guò)去3年，中國(guó)對(duì)英國(guó)投資年均增長(zhǎng)71.7%。去年，英國(guó)對(duì)中國(guó)投資同比增長(zhǎng)87.6%，增速位居歐盟大國(guó)首位。

The British government has introduced ambitious plans on upgrading infrastructure, building the Northern Powerhouse in the north of England and implementing the strategy of UK Industry 2050. These plans and the "Road and Belt Initiative" and the initiatives of "Made in China 2025" and "Internet Plus" undertaken by China complement each other in many ways. China is ready to partner with the UK in the spirit of inclusiveness, opening up and seeking win-win progress through cooperation to upgrade and expand cooperation to deliver more benefits to our two peoples.
當(dāng)前，英國(guó)政府制定了基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施改造升級(jí)、打造“英格蘭北部經(jīng)濟(jì)中心”、“英國(guó)工業(yè)2050戰(zhàn)略”等宏大計(jì)劃，這與中國(guó)提出的“一帶一路”倡議、“中國(guó)制造2025”、“互聯(lián)網(wǎng)+”等有很多合作契合點(diǎn)。中國(guó)愿同英國(guó)一道，秉持包容開(kāi)放、合作共贏理念，提高合作水平，拓展合作領(lǐng)域，更好造福兩國(guó)人民。

This year marks the beginning of the second decade of the China-UK comprehensive strategic partnership and the 40th anniversary of China-EU diplomatic ties. Both China-UK relationship and China-EU relationship face important opportunities to build on past success for new progress. Since the UK is an important member of the EU, China-UK relationship and China-EU relationship reinforce each other. During my visit to the EU Headquarters last year, EU leaders and I agreed to build China-EU partnership of peace, growth, reform and civilization. I believe new progress in China-UK relationship will inject new momentum into the growth of China-EU relationship across the board and make new contribution to the building of China-EU partnership as a whole.
今年是中英全面戰(zhàn)略伙伴關(guān)系第二個(gè)10年的開(kāi)局之年，也是中歐建交40周年。中英關(guān)系和中歐關(guān)系發(fā)展面臨繼往開(kāi)來(lái)的重要機(jī)遇。英國(guó)是歐盟重要成員國(guó)，中英關(guān)系同中歐關(guān)系相輔相成。去年，我對(duì)歐盟總部進(jìn)行訪問(wèn)，同歐盟領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人一致商定，要打造中歐和平、增長(zhǎng)、改革、文明四大伙伴關(guān)系。相信中英關(guān)系新發(fā)展將為中歐關(guān)系全面推進(jìn)注入新動(dòng)力，為促進(jìn)中歐四大伙伴關(guān)系建設(shè)作出新貢獻(xiàn)。

2. London is one of the world's financial centers, and is keen to play an important role in China's financial development, whether by serving as an offshore trading hub for the renminbi or by possibly one day having a trading link between London and Shanghai stock exchanges. What role do you envision London playing in the modernization and globalization of the Chinese currency and stock markets?
問(wèn)：倫敦是全球金融中心之一。無(wú)論是作為人民幣離岸交易中心，還是今后通過(guò)實(shí)現(xiàn)“倫滬通”，倫敦希望在中國(guó)金融市場(chǎng)發(fā)展過(guò)程中扮演重要角色。您認(rèn)為在中國(guó)金融市場(chǎng)現(xiàn)代化和全球化發(fā)展進(jìn)程中，倫敦能夠發(fā)揮什么樣的作用?

A: The reform and opening up of China's financial sector has made remarkable progress since China embarked on the path of reform and opening up 37 years ago. This has been especially obvious in the past several years. China will continue to adopt multiple measures to advance the reform and opening up of its financial sector so that its financial market can better adapt to financial modernization and globalization.
答：改革開(kāi)放37年特別是近幾年來(lái)，中國(guó)金融業(yè)改革開(kāi)放進(jìn)展顯著。中國(guó)將繼續(xù)采取多種措施，推進(jìn)金融業(yè)改革開(kāi)放，使中國(guó)金融市場(chǎng)更加適應(yīng)金融現(xiàn)代化和全球化發(fā)展的要求。

As one of the global financial centers, London is an important pump station in the world economic lifeline, so to speak. Strengthened financial cooperation with London is definitely a win-win choice for both countries. China-UK financial cooperation started early. It has enjoyed rapid growth, has tremendous potential and leads China-UK cooperation in various areas. We have accomplished much in recent years. Our two countries signed the bilateral currency swap agreement. China set up an RMB clearing bank in London. The UK became the first country outside Asia to obtain the RQFII initial investment quota, the first Western country to issue RMB-denominated sovereign bond and the first major developed country to include RMB into its foreign exchange reserves. This is a highlight in our bilateral cooperation.
倫敦是世界金融中心之一，是世界經(jīng)濟(jì)血液循環(huán)的一個(gè)重要泵站。加強(qiáng)同倫敦的金融合作，肯定是互利雙贏的選項(xiàng)。中英兩國(guó)金融合作起步早、發(fā)展快、潛力大，走在各領(lǐng)域合作前列。近年來(lái)，兩國(guó)簽署了雙邊本幣互換協(xié)議，中國(guó)在倫敦設(shè)立人民幣清算行，英國(guó)成為亞洲以外首個(gè)獲批人民幣合格境外機(jī)構(gòu)投資者初始額度的國(guó)家、首個(gè)發(fā)行人民幣主權(quán)債券的西方國(guó)家、首個(gè)將人民幣納入外匯儲(chǔ)備的主要發(fā)達(dá)國(guó)家。這是雙方合作的一大亮點(diǎn)。

Back in 2012, London officially launched the plan of Center of RMB Business. London has since then become one of the most dynamic and most important RMB trading centers and offshore RMB markets. In 2014, RMB trading in London grew by 143 percent year-on-year and its RMB deposits reached 20 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 37 percent.
倫敦早在2012年就正式啟動(dòng)了“人民幣業(yè)務(wù)中心計(jì)劃”。經(jīng)過(guò)幾年發(fā)展，倫敦已經(jīng)成為最具活力和最重要的人民幣交易中心和離岸人民幣市場(chǎng)之一。2014年，倫敦的人民幣外匯交易規(guī)模同比增長(zhǎng)143%，人民幣存款規(guī)模達(dá)到200億元，同比增長(zhǎng)37%。

When conditions are in place, China is ready to consider strengthening the connectivity of the financial markets of the two countries. London can leverage its unique strengths in the financial field to get actively involved in the modernization and globalization of China' s financial market.
只要條件具備，中國(guó)愿意積極考慮加強(qiáng)兩國(guó)金融市場(chǎng)互聯(lián)互通。倫敦可以發(fā)揮金融領(lǐng)域的獨(dú)特優(yōu)勢(shì)，在中國(guó)金融市場(chǎng)現(xiàn)代化和全球化發(fā)展進(jìn)程中發(fā)揮積極作用。
