我将应鲁哈尼总统邀请对伊朗进行国事访问，就新形势下深化中伊关系及重大国际和地区问题深入交换意见，共同推动中伊关系迈上新台阶。
As I am about to embark on my state visit to Iran at the invitation of President Rouhani, I am looking forward to in-depth exchange of views on deepening China-Iran relations in the new era as well as on major international and regional issues and working together with my Iranian hosts to bring the relationship to a new stage.
这是我第一次访问伊朗，但同很多中国人一样，我对你们古老而美丽的国度并不陌生，因为丝绸之路早就把我们两个伟大民族联结在一起。史书记载下一个又一个精彩故事。
This will be my first trip to Iran, yet like many other Chinese, I do not feel like a stranger in your ancient and beautiful country, thanks to the Silk Road that linked our two great nations for centuries and to the many legendary stories recorded in history books of our friendly exchanges.
早在2000多年前的中国西汉时期，中国使者张骞的副使就来到伊朗，受到隆重接待。7世纪后的中国唐宋时期，许多伊朗人前往中国求学行医经商，足迹遍及西安、广州等地。13世纪，伊朗著名诗人萨迪记录下到中国新疆喀什的难忘游历。15世纪，中国明代郑和7次率领庞大船队远洋航海，其中3次到达伊朗南部的霍尔木兹地区。
Over 2,000 years ago during the West Han Dynasty in China, the Chinese envoy Zhang Qian's deputy came to Iran and received warm welcome. Seven centuries later during the Tang and Song dynasties, many Iranians came to China's Xi'an and Guangzhou to study, practice medicine and do business. In the 13th century, the famous Iranian poet Saadi wrote about his unforgettable travel to Kashgar, Xinjiang. In the 15th century, a renowned Chinese navigator Zheng He from the Ming Dynasty led seven maritime expeditions, which took him to Hormuz in southern Iran three times.
来自中国的丝绸和伊朗的高超工艺结合，成就了波斯丝毯的高贵；来自伊朗的苏麻离青和中国的高超工艺结合，成就了青花瓷器的雅致。中国的漆器、陶器以及造纸、冶金、印刷、火药等技术经伊朗传向亚洲最西端乃至欧洲等更远的地方，石榴、葡萄、橄榄以及玻璃、金银器皿等又从伊朗和欧洲等地传入中国。
The much-prized Persian carpet is weaved out of a fusion of China's silk and Iran's sophisticated techniques. And the exquisite blue and white porcelain is produced thanks to a mixture of Iran's "smaltum" (a type of material containing cobalt, unique to Iran) and China's advanced skills. Via Iran, China's lacquerware, pottery, as well as papermaking, metallurgical, printing and gunpowder making skills were spread to the west end of Asia, and further on to Europe. And from Iran and Europe, pomegranate, grape, olive, as well as glass, gold and silver ware were introduced into China.
