大家好!很高兴来到新加坡国立大学,并利用"新加坡讲座"这个平台,同各位同学和各界朋友见面。今年是中新建交25周年,我很荣幸应陈庆炎总统邀请,对有着"花园国家"美誉的新加坡进行国事访问。
Good morning! I am delighted to come to the National University of Singapore and talk to you as a guest speaker of Singapore Lecture. This year marks the 25th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Singapore, and it gives me great pleasure to pay a state visit to the garden state of Singapore at the invitation of President Tan Keng Yam.
新加坡国立大学拥有110年悠久历史,是亚洲乃至世界知名高校。李光耀先生、陈庆炎总统、纳丹先生、吴作栋先生等新加坡领导人都是国大校友。可以说,这里桃李芬芳、人才辈出。贵校倡导"人才不设墙"、"观念不设墙"、"思维不设墙"、"知识不设墙"的"无墙文化",体现了新加坡创新进取和开放包容精神。这是贵校乃至贵国成功的一个重要原因。
With a history of 110 years, the National University of Singapore is renowned both in Asia and internationally. Many Singaporean leaders such as Mr. Lee Kuan Yew, President Tan Keng Yam, Mr. S. R. Nathan and Mr. Goh Chok Tong, graduated from NUS. Indeed, NUS has produced a galaxy of talents and outstanding public leaders for Singapore. NUS champions the vision that there should be no walls around minds, no walls to ideas, no walls to talent and no walls between discovery. Such a no-walls culture embodies the creative, enterprising, open and inclusive spirit of Singapore, an important factor contributing to the success of NUS and Singapore.
今年是新加坡建国50周年。半个世纪以来,新加坡人民筚路蓝缕、发愤图强,凭借勤劳智慧把新加坡建设成了亚洲最发达的国家之一,成为世界上重要的经济金融中心、航运中心、炼化中心,国家发展取得了举世瞩目的成就。新加坡取得的成就生动诠释了"靠人粮满仓,靠天空米缸"的道理。我们对新加坡人民的成功表示衷心祝贺。
This year marks the 50th anniversary of the independence of Singapore. In the last 50 years, the hard-working and visionary people of Singapore have endured hardships and succeeded in building Singapore into one of the most advanced countries in Asia and a leading international economic, financial, shipping, and refining and petrochemicals center. Its achievements in national development are widely recognized. As the saying goes, when people only rely on heaven, their rice jars will be empty, but when people make efforts, their barn will be full of grain. This saying vividly reflects the spirit of Singapore, and we would like to express our sincere congratulations to the Singaporean people on their success.
