女士们、先生们、朋友们!
Ladies and Gentlemen, Dear Friends,
90年前,中国人民喜爱的印度伟大诗人泰戈尔访问了中国,受到中国人民热烈欢迎。一踏上中国的土地,泰戈尔就说:“我不知道什么缘故,到中国就像回到故乡一样。”在离开中国时,他伤感地说:“我的心留在这里了。”
Ninety years ago, Rabindranath Tagore, the great Indian poet admired by the Chinese people, visited China and was warmly received there. Upon setting foot on China’s soil, Tagore said, “I don’t know why, but coming to China is like coming home.” Upon leaving China, he said quite sadly, “My heart stays.”
今天在座的有中印两国的青年代表。青年人是中印两国的未来,也是亚洲和世界的希望。青年人有现实主义者的喜怒哀乐,更有理想主义者的信念和执着。希望你们从中印古老文明中汲取智慧,在追求真理的道路上一路向前。希望你们加强心灵沟通,把年轻的心留在中国,把年轻的心留在印度,大家心心相印、共创未来。
Today, I see among the audience young people from both China and India. The youth represent the future of our two countries and the hope of Asia and the world. The youth may have feelings of joy and sorrow from their everyday life, but they never stop pursuing their ideals with conviction and devotion. I hope that all of you will draw wisdom and inspiration from the ancient Chinese and Indian civilizations and march forward in the pursuit of truth. I hope that you will enhance heart-to-heart communication and that your young hearts will stay in China and in India. Let us work together in one mind and usher in a bright future.
最后,我想告诉印度朋友的是,中国人讲求“己欲立而立人,己欲达而达人”。中国在谋求自身发展的同时,真诚希望印度繁荣富强,期待同印度携手前行。在印度人民实现发展复兴的道路上,中国人民愿意始终同印度人民走在一起。我相信,深刻影响了人类文明发展的中印两国人民,一定会为亚洲和世界发展作出新的更大的贡献!
In conclusion, I would like to share with my Indian friends a Chinese saying: “The man of virtue, while establishing himself and pursuing success, also works to establish others and enable them to succeed as well.” In pursuing its own development, China sincerely hopes to see a prosperous and strong India and looks forward to making progress together with India. The Chinese people will always progress together with the Indian people on their path of development and revitalization. I believe that our two peoples, who once left indelible impact on the development of human civilization, will make new and greater contribution to Asia and the world as a whole.
