开场白

 

病毒打不倒人类，人类必将战胜疫情。至暗时刻终将过去，光明已在前方。

The virus cannot defeat humanity; we will eventually prevail. The darkest hour will pass. Looking ahead, we can see light and hope.

 

中国抗疫重要启示

 

这场疫情给我们带来的最大启示是：各国人民的生命健康从来没有像今天这样休戚与共、紧密相连；我们也从来没有像今天这样深刻意识到，各国生活在一个地球村，人类实际上是一个命运共同体。

The most important thing we could learn from COVID-19 is that the life and health of people in different countries have never been so closely connected. Also, it has never been made so clear to us that all nations live in the same global village and that humanity is in fact a community with a shared future.

 

病毒不分国界和种族，对全人类发起挑战。政治操弄只会给病毒以可乘之机，以邻为壑只能被病毒各个击破，无视科学只会让病毒乘虚而入。

The virus respects no borders or races. It poses a challenge to all human beings without distinction. Political manipulation will give the virus loopholes to exploit; a beggar-thy-neighbor approach will leave each of us more vulnerable; rejection of science will allow the virus to wreak greater havoc.

 

疫情以生命作为代价告诫我们，各国应超越地域种族、历史文化乃至社会制度的不同，携起手来构建人类命运共同体，共同维护好我们人类唯一可以生存的这个星球。

Having claimed so many precious lives, COVID-19 serves as a stark reminder that countries must rise above differences in geography, race, history, culture and social system. We must work together for a community with a shared future and jointly preserve Planet Earth, the only home we have.

 

中美关系

 

除了新冠病毒的肆虐，还有一种政治病毒也正在美国扩散。这种政治病毒就是利用一切机会对中国进行攻击抹黑。

It is most regrettable that while the coronavirus is still out there, a political virus is also spreading in the US and jumping at any opportunity to attack and slander China.

  

中美合则两利，斗则俱伤，这是从几十年来各种经验教训中得出的最精辟概括，需要双方谨记在心。

Both China and the US stand to gain from cooperation and lose from confrontation: this best captures what we have learned, positive and otherwise, from the past decades. Both sides should take this lesson to heart.

中美社会制度不同，但这是两国人民各自作出的选择，应当彼此予以尊重。中美之间确实存在不少分歧，但这并不意味着没有合作空间。

China and the US have different social systems, but this is the result of the different choices made by our people, which we must respect. It's also true that we have many disagreements, but that doesn't preclude cooperation.

 

中国无意改变美国，更不想取代美国，而美国也不可能一厢情愿地改变中国，更不可能阻挡14亿中国人民迈向现代化的历史进程。

China has no intention to change, still less replace, the US. It's time for the US to give up its wishful thinking of changing China or stopping the 1.4 billion Chinese people's historical march toward modernization.

 

美国一些政治势力正在绑架中美关系，试图将中美关系推向所谓“新冷战”。这种危险的做法是在开历史倒车。

Some political forces in the US are taking China-US relations hostage and pushing our two countries to the brink of a new Cold War. This is a dangerous attempt to turn back the wheel of history.

 

后疫情世界和全球化未来

 

世界当然回不到过去，因为历史在向前迈进。人类正是在与大灾大难的抗争中得到发展和进步。

The world will certainly not be the same again; history always moves forward. Throughout world history, humanity has progressed by wrestling with one disaster after another.

 

这次疫情用事实证明，不管多么强大的国家，都不可能独善其身。隔岸观火最终会殃及自身，落井下石到头来将信誉扫地。唯我独尊、推卸责任，不仅解决不了自己面临的问题，还会损害其他国家的正当权益。

COVID-19 drives home once again that no country, no matter how strong it is, can insulate itself from a global challenge. When a disaster wreaks havoc, watching from an apparently safe distance and sitting idle will eventually backfire. Pointing fingers at others will only end up damaging one's own reputation. Self-conceit and blame-shifting will not help one solve its own problems. Worse still, it will hurt other countries' legitimate rights and interests.
