尊敬的杨洁篪国务委员和夫人，尊敬的各位使节及夫人，女士们，先生们，朋友们：

Your Excellency State Councilor Yang Jiechi and Madam Le Aimei,Your Excellencies Diplomatic Envoys and Representatives of International Organizations and the Spouses,Ladies and Gentlemen,Dear Friends,

时间过得真快，转眼又到了一年一度辞旧迎新的时刻。首先，我谨代表中国外交部，向各位使节及夫人致以最诚挚的问候！对各兄弟部门一年来给予外交工作的大力支持表示最衷心的感谢！

How time flies. Once again, we are gathered here to bid farewell to the old year and usher in the new. Let me start by extending, on behalf of the Chinese Foreign Ministry, our warmest greetings to all the diplomatic envoys and the spouses, and heartfelt thanks to all the ministries and departments at home for the strong support they have given to China’s diplomatic work over the past year.

2014年是中国全面深化改革的开局之年。以习近平同志为总书记的党中央围绕实现“两个一百年”奋斗目标，在治国理政方面接连推出重大举措，带领13亿中国人民在建设中国特色社会主义的道路上取得了一系列新的重大成就。

The year of 2014 marks the beginning of China’s endeavor to comprehensively deepen reform. To realize the two “centenary goals”, the CPC Central Committee, with Comrade Xi Jinping as General Secretary, has rolled out a series of important measures in governance and led the 1.3 billion people in scoring major achievements in the development of socialism with Chinese characteristics.

继去年十八届三中全会开启全面深化改革历史进程之后，今年中共中央又召开了十八届四中全会，作出全面推进依法治国的战略部署，全面深化改革与全面推进法治相互支撑、相互促进，必将加快全面建成小康社会的前进步伐，并为实现中华民族伟大复兴的中国梦奠定更为坚实的基础。

The Third Plenum of the 18th CPC Central Committee convened last year launched the historic process to comprehensively deepen reform. At the Fourth Plenum held this year, the CPC Central Committee made strategic arrangements to comprehensively promote the rule of law. Mutually supportive and reinforcing, the two tasks will surely accelerate China’s progress toward completing the building of a moderately prosperous society in all respects and lay a more solid foundation for the realization of the Chinese dream of great national renewal.
