温总理答记者问精彩语录

一个领导者应该把眼睛盯住前方，把握现在，思考未来。

As a leader, his eyes should be on the way ahead, his energy should be focused on the present and at the same time and he should be thinking of the future.

天变不足畏，祖宗不足法，人言不足恤。

One should not fear changes under the heaven and one should not blindly follow old conventions and one should not be deterred by complaints of others.

苟利国家生死以，岂因祸福避趋之。 (温总理五年前立下的誓言)

One should uphold his country’s interest with his life, he should not do things just to pursue his personal gains and he should not be evade responsibilities for fear of personal loss.

如果我们的国家有比黄金还要贵重的诚信、有比大海还要宽广的包容、有比爱自己还要宽广的博爱、有比高山还要崇高的道德，那么我们这个国家就是一个具有精神文明和道德力量的国家。

If China can have a level of credibility and integrity that is more precious than gold, if China can be more receptive and inclusive than the ocean, if China can have fraternity rather than love for oneself, and if China can have an ethical standard higher than the mountains, I believe this country will have the moral strength and also will become a country with advanced cultural development.

民之所忧，我之所思；民之所思，我之所行。

What people are concerned about preoccupies my mind, and what preoccupies people’s mind is what I need to address.

为了国家的富强，为了社会的公平正义，为了让人们幸福快乐地过得更好，为了让孩子们上好学，为了使我们的民族在世界赢得应有的尊严，我愿献出我的全部心血和精力。

To ensure this country to become stronger and more prosperous, to build a society of equity and justice, to ensure the people live a happy life, our children can go to school and our nation is duly respected in the international community, I'm willing to dedicate myself wholeheartedly to this cause.

所谓“中国政府灭绝西藏文化”是一派谎言。

Claim of China’s "cultural genocide" in Tibet nothing but lie.

用人民的钱为人民谋利益。（有关财政体制改革）

use people's money to serve people's needs

我相信13亿人民微笑着面对世界，全世界人民也会微笑着对待中国。（有关北京奥运会）

I have confidence that the smiles of 1.3 billion people in front of the world will be reciprocated by the smiles of the people from all over the world.

周虽旧邦，其命维新（《诗经》）；如将不尽，与古为新（《诗品》）。（有关解放思想）

Although Zhou was an ancient state, it had a reform mission; only innovation could ensure the growth and vitality of a nation.

While there is life, there is hope.（有生命就有希望/留得青山在，不怕没柴烧。）

Storms make trees take deeper roots.（风暴使树木深深扎根。）

Road to Paradise

Child,
Take my hand.
The road to paradise
Is too dark
I worry you will
Hurt yourself
Please hurry
And grasp my hand
I will lead you
Let me lead you

Mother,
I fear.
The road to heaven
Is so dark
And I cannot find your hand
Ever since
The walls collapsed
Darkness surrounds me
No longer will I be able
To see
Your loving face

Child,
Walk the road
That you must take.
Where you will not be sad
There will be no more endless text books
Or punishment
I promise.
But you must remember
Your father’s touch
My touch
And we must be together
In the next life

Mother,
You mustn’t worry.
The road to heaven is crowded
There are many friends
And we say
Not to cry.
Here
One person’s mother
Is everybody’s mother
And
One mother’s child
Is every mother’s child
I am not lonely
As time passes without me
Pass on your love
To the children who still live
Today

Mother,
Don’t cry.
Your tears can’t light our path
So let us walk
And find our own way
Through this darkness
Steadily
Towards the light

Mother,
I’ll remember.
I’ll remember you,
And father
I’ll remember our promise
For the next life
And then…
Then we will walk together

My favorite animal
  My favorite animals are cat. Cats are very lovely. Cats like eat fish and meat. Cats sleep lots. They sleep 18 hours every day. I love cats very much. Cats are all over the world. I had three cats in my home before. They are come from my hometown.

Is it worth it?


Horror gripped the heart of the World War I soldier as he saw his lifelong friend fall in battle. Caught in a trench ( 战壕) with continuous gunfire whizzing over his head, the soldier asked his lieutenant if he might go out into the “No Man’s Land” between the trenches to bring his fallen comrade back.

“You can go,” said the Lieutenant(陆军中尉), “but I don’t think it will be worth it. Your friend is probably dead and you may throw your own life away.” The Lieutenant’s words didn’t matter, and the soldier went anyway.

Miraculously he managed to reach his friend, hoisted him onto his shoulder, and brought him back to their company’s trench. As the two of them tumbled in together to the bottom of the trench, the officer checked the wounded soldier, then looked kindly at his friend. “I told you it wouldn’t be worth it,” he said. “your friend is dead, and you are mortally wounded.”

“It was worth it, though, sir,” the soldier said.

“How do you mean, ‘worth it’?” responded the Lieutenant. “Your friend is dead!”

“Yes sir,” the private answered. “But it was worth it because when I got to him, he was still alive, and I had the satisfaction of hearing him say, ‘Jim, I knew you’d come.’”

Many a time in life, whether a thing is worth doing or not really depends on how you look at it.

Take up all your courage and do something your heart tells you to do so that you may not regret not doing it later in life.

On weekdays I have a quick breakfast. I have rice, steamed breads and milk. I like the breakfast. I have lunch in school. I don’t like the lunch in my school because it’s very yucky. In the evening I have dinner in home. We usually have fish, chicken, pork and rice. I like fish and chicken best. After dinner I usually have some fruit. I like eat fruit.

The news in China just said that 420,000 homes collasped during the aftershock on Tuesday afternoon.  The government of China has been doing absolutely amazing recovery work in the area.  I don't know if you are seeing the same pictures, films and news coverage that we get here but it makes 911 from September 11 seems so small that it wouldn't even be mentioned.  That sounds disrespectful, and I don't mean to be, but it was so tiny compared to what China is facing.  There have been over 260 after shocks with some as high as 6.4.  Wow that would be a earthquake anywhere else, not a aftershock. They have repaired 30,000 klm of roads so that they can get emergency supplies in.  Now they are talking about the rainy season which is about to begin, causing landslides.  They are moving whole villiages and counties.  When we say villiages in Canada we are talking about 40 people but here there could be 4000 people in a villiage.   I don't know if you know anyone in that area of China but I hope that everyone you love is safe.  There is serious talk about another disaster caused by the rivers that were blocked by the earthquakes and now they are threatening to flood huge areas and kill up to 900,000 people.  They have finished building 13,000 thousand temporary homes, with sewers etc. and they plan on finishing 1 Million by the end of June.  That is the population of the city that I am from.  I don't think that Canada would do as well if 15 Million people were affected by a disaster of this magnitude.  I have a new respect for the government here.  The news said that 15 Million people have been directly affected by this quake.  Well I just thought that I would pass this on to everyone.  We need to pray for China.  God Bless you and keep you safe and thankful for everything that you have.  I am attaching the article I wrote about the quake that is being published in 2 magazines this month. I look forward to seeing you in Edmonton at the end of June.  Karen
Stand Strong Stand Firm We Are With You


This was the chant of thousands of Chinese citizens as they gathered together at Tiananmen Square in China’s capital, this afternoon. The crowds were standing in front of the Gate of Heavenly Peace but most, were not peaceful.  The united Chinese people were observing three minutes of silence this afternoon to mourn and remember the people who lost their lives in the earthquake in Sichuan.

We have been flooded with pictures of families, just like ours, who have lost a loved one, a Grandma, a husband or a child.  Nothing will ever comfort the family who has lost a child. Our hearts go out to them….we cry for their loss and we cry for ours.  What have we lost?  We have lost our innocence; where we once thought that we would live to be eighty or ninety years old, we now see how fleeting life is.

No longer do we count on tomorrow because tomorrow is not guaranteed.  We have come to realize that this terrible earthquake could have hit our city.  It could have been us digging through the crumbled remains of a building looking for our child or workmate or our neighbors.  

We aren’t as concerned about the Olympic Games as we were a week ago. China’s Olympic slogan still rings true today: “One World One Dream”.  The world has united together to send support to the survivors with assistance, food and, of course money .More than this though, I believe that the world is mourning with China.

The world has become smaller than it ever was before because Chinese people, who live all over the world, are sending their love and support.  I know that the rest of the world is standing beside their sister, China, and offering to help.   Now we want to help in everyway we can.  How can we help though; we are so far away from Sichuan?  

Personally I believe that the best way that we can help, after sending money, is by changing our lives.  If we make the decision to love our child in a special way, everyday, then we are remembering the children that lost their lives, so young.  If we show kindness to our neighbors and workmates, everyday, then we can change the world, in memory of all those neighbors and workmates who have perished.

We will mourn for a long time still, and it may be years before the concrete cities are rebuilt, but we can honor the memory of those who lost their lives by loving those who are still alive.  Let’s not work so hard, or study so much, that we forget to love those who are near us, in memory of all the precious people who are no longer with us..

中国坚强!汶川挺住! 我们和你在一起

今天下午成千上万的中国人集合在首都天安门广场喊出了这样的口号。人们站在天安门前内心却并不安宁，团结一致的中国人民正在向四川地震中遇难的同胞默哀三分钟以缅怀逝者。

这些天来，我们的生活中到处都是有关家庭的图片，就像是我们自己一般，刚失去了一个挚爱的人，如祖母、丈夫、或孩子。对于一个刚失去孩子的家庭而言任何安慰的言语都会显得苍白无力，这些我们都能感同身受……我们为他们所失去的一切哭泣，我们也为自己哭泣。那么我们失去的又是什么呢？是我们的天真无邪。我们曾经以为能太太平平活到垂垂老矣，今天我们看到时光疾飞转瞬消失了踪影。

我们不要再指望明天，因为明天不能保证什么。我们意识到这恐怖的地震有朝一日说不定也会袭击居住的城市，那一天来临时就有可能是我们在废墟中刨啊、挖啊寻找我们至爱的孩子、同事或邻居。

我们对奥运的关注也不再像一个星期前那样强烈了，今天中国的奥运口号“同一个世界，同一个梦想”还在耳边回响。这个世界万众一心，大家纷纷捐钱捐物对幸存者伸出热情的双手，且还远远不止这些，我相信整个世界都在与中国一道同悲共苦。

与昔日相比，这个世界显得好小，因为分布世界每个角落的中国人民正把爱的种子遍洒。我知道其它国家此时也正站在她们的姐妹--“中国”旁边随时准备提供帮助，我们也想尽一切所能来帮助，但我们该怎样做呢？我们距离四川是那样的遥远？

在捐钱之后，我想我们能提供帮助的最好的方法是去改变现有的生活。如果我们决定每天都以一种特别的方式爱我们的孩子，那么我们就能记住那些已逝去的年轻而又鲜活的生命；如果我们每天都能亲邻善睦，那么我们就能改变这个世界并藉此纪念所有已经离开我们的邻居和同事。

在很长的一段日子里我们会心存哀思，有可能是钢筋混凝土的城市重建前的这些年，但我们可以通过爱身边活着的人来纪念逝者。让我们放慢工作和学习的步伐吧，去爱身边的人，以此纪念已远离我们的宝贵的生命……

Karen (加拿大)写于2008年5月19日   闻碧辉译

A friend  in deed is a friend indeed. Dear Karen, thanks so much for your supporting. Let's pray for   China.  God Bless you and keep you safe and thankful for everything that you have.

中国举国力拼罕见震灾 向世界展现能量2008年05月30日11:22 [我来说两句(95)] [字号：大 中 小] 来源：环球时报-环球网 　　面临的考验史无前例 中国用国力拼罕见震灾

    陈一 李剑 王莉 王磊 万艳

    环球时报·环球网消息：当汶川大地震发生两个多星期以后，整个中国仍然绷得紧紧的，而且它要解决的问题正一天比一天多。


5月27日下午，中国西南部又发生了两次5级以上的强余震，消除堰塞湖的战斗正全面展开，数百万灾民等待救助……中国的大和复杂以另一种形态展现在世界面前。在世界近年来的几次重大自然灾害中，包括美国在内的受灾国政府都饱受了批评，因此中国此次的上下团结和众志成城，堪称人类抗灾史上之少见。外电的很多赞扬也是言之由衷。但还是让我们谨慎点吧，前面的麻烦还多得很，中国的国力和全社会的耐心都面临空前的考验。

　　强烈余震、堰塞湖都是严峻威胁

　　余震、堰塞湖是27日地震灾区的两个主题，也是外电观察中国的主要看点。

　　法新社27日的报道写道，当日下午16时03分，四川青川县发生5.4级余震，重庆有明显震感，成都震感强烈。成都的一名司机告诉法新社记者：“这次余震虽然相当强烈，但并不是最强的”。大约半个小时之后，在邻近四川的陕西省宁强县又发生了5.7级的余震，这次余震在“世界著名的秦兵马俑的故乡———西安市都能感觉出来”，“西安大批居民都从自己家中跑了出来”。法新社还引用专家的话分析说，从以前同样强度地震的余震情况来看，“中国将被强烈的余震晃动两三个月”。

　　27日，路透社在题为“中国争分夺秒抢修堰塞湖泄流槽”的报道中称：“星期二，中国的士兵正在同时间赛跑，争分夺秒地在唐家山堰塞湖大坝上工作，开挖一个巨大的导流渠以缓解水位不断上升的唐家山堰塞湖可能决堤的险情。到星期一夜间，大约有600名工程师和士兵到达了唐家山堰塞湖的大坝上，他们不分昼夜地分班轮流工作。由于那里缺少帐篷，一些战士晚上不得不露天睡在大坝上。”

　　法新社27日报道说，唐家山堰塞湖一旦决堤将会使100多万人处于危险之中。为了尽力避免另外一场灾难，中国向唐家山堰塞湖派遣了1800多名士兵和工程师。中国武警部队的一名工程师说，至少要清除5万立方米的碎石，但是为了把风险降到最小，他们的目标是清除10万立方米的碎石。

　　美国有线电视新闻网（CNN）27日报道说，四川下达了撤离命令，同时还配了一大幅居民背着家当徒步撤离灾区的照片。报道说，随着工程师们准备炸开会带来潜在危险的唐家山堰塞湖大坝，相关部门星期二开始转移成千上万的居民。中国水利部的一名官员讲，根据目前的排洪方案，大约需要转移10万人。

　　中国面临的考验史无前例

　　“美国之音”报道中国的困难时说，在大地震后幸存下来的民众现在又受到“第二波灾难”的威胁，这些灾难包括洪水以及几十个堰塞湖。

　　路透社称，这场特大地震是“新中国成立以来救灾难度最大的一次地震”，“大规模的救援工作可能持续3年，其中包括向灾区上百万人输送食品、帐篷、衣物；同时，救援工作还包括灾后重建以及帮助与外界隔离的村庄重新恢复交通和通讯”。

　　英国《卫报》的一篇报道也感叹了中国救灾工作的艰难，该报记者从中国唐山发回的消息称，“1976年唐山大地震后，由于中国当时还很穷，灾民们直到1980年还住在帐篷里，灾后重建从1983年才真正开始”。《卫报》说，唐山位于平原，而这次发生地震的四川则位于山区，灾后重建工作更困难。

　　北京地质学会副理事长、中国地质力学所研究员邓乃恭对《环球时报》记者说，仅从中国应对堰塞湖危害的现实来看，可以说是史无前例的。邓乃恭说，这次汶川地震产生30多个堰塞湖，这在中外历史上十分罕见。由于四川多山，又位于地震多发地区，因此历史上一些严重的堰塞湖灾害都发生在四川。1786年6月1日，四川的康定地区发生7级以上强烈地震。地震使得大渡河被封堵10天，河水急速上涨，甚至淹没了泸定桥。第10天出现溃口，两岸村镇无一幸免。水头一天一夜后到达嘉定府，即现在的四川乐山，卷走两岸民众无数。事后统计，由于震中人烟稀少，因地震死亡的只有430人，但堰塞湖产生的水害造成十几万人死伤。

　　中国对堰塞湖进行人为干预也是史无前例的

　　邓乃恭同时认为，这次中国通过导流、爆破等方式对堰塞湖进行人为干预也是史无前例的。以前出现堰塞湖险情时，有下游居民紧急疏散的记录，但像这次这样，由政府主导大规模疏散人群的现象却没有过。

　　邓乃恭说，这两个史无前例之所以产生，是因为中国目前的国力使得我们告别了以前面对重大灾难时的束手无策。解决堰塞湖危害是一个系统工程，它需要经济实力、科技水平和应急能力三个先决条件。从经济实力上讲，最明显的例子就是大家看到直升机直接将大型机械运到堰塞湖现场，而这背后需要大量的测量、计算，卫星、航拍、人工观测一个都不能少。解决堰塞湖危害对一个国家的科技水平要求很高，地质、水力、航空遥感、气象等多个学科必须有效配合才能形成一个有机的整体，才能产生实际效果。动辄数万人，甚至可能会出现的数百万人的疏散也是建立在经济基础上的。中国的财力和科技水平有目共睹，这次产生的堰塞湖危害真正让大家感慨的是中国的应急能力。在短短十几天的时间内，我们基本掌握了处在复杂地形、且经历过地震的山区中的30多个堰塞湖，这一点世界上的很多国家可能做不到，几十年前的中国同样做不到。

　　中国灾害防御协会副秘书长高建国也认为，这次抗震救灾工作，充分显示了我国抗击自然灾害的能力的提升。30多年前的唐山大地震，国家共投入赈灾资金约100亿元人民币，在这次抗震救灾中，政府目前已准备投入700多亿人民币，如果没有充实的国力，这是办不到的。

　　中国向世界展现能量

　　世界上许多大灾难过后，招来赞扬声音的事例少，而招致批评的例子则很多。2005年，美国卡特里娜飓风风灾过后两个月，灾后重建工作仍然招致一片批评声，有共和党议员警告说灾后重建工作一延再延，将会造成美国经济混乱。还有议员批评说，遭飓风重创的新奥尔良市在风灾过后两个月还是没有消防局，没有学校，以及正常运作的警察局。美国一些组织的领导人还指责美国政府“玩忽职守，构成犯罪”。

　　高建国分析说，美国当时面临的情况实际要比中国简单，美国的受灾人数仅为300万人，且受灾地区的地形地势给救援造成的难度相对较低，这次四川地震受灾民众总数可能上千万，而且大多数居住在山区，这给救援及灾后重建都造成很大难度。

　　虽然困难重重，中国的表现却让人们充满信心。香港星岛环球网评论说：“地震灾难以及中国政府的救灾表现，让之前外部的许多批评之声沉寂下来。中国政府的决心及信心，它的效率及动员力，它的透明度和力度，令人‘耳目一新’。它表现出了管治手法的成熟，也表现出了与国际间的信任和合作。更重要的是，它的行动凝聚了民心，使外界看到，当政府的意志与民间的意志紧密结合在一起的时候，中国这个国家，就会爆发出巨大的能量。在中国和平崛起的过程中，外部世界需要认识到这种能量，并且要适应这种能量”。

hi, Jane, thank you for inviting me to such a meaningful event. indeed, every and each of us should do something to show our support for the people in Sichuan. this year i'm in Luoyang, Henan province for further education. so i won't be able to go to the corner. but still i shall donate my part, here inside the university.

thank you for your kindness. people in the disaster-hit area are very grateful for what you've done, i'm sure.

杨澜： 莎朗斯通的这番话又该得到什么报应呢？
    莎朗斯通说四川地震是中国亏待达赖剌嘛的报应，并用“很有意思”来形容。她对数万人的死难，数百万人的流离失所轻描淡写。对生命的漠视至此，真是到了让人震惊的地步。那些在废墟中悲嚎的声音，那些拯救生命的壮举，似乎都无足轻重。以她的逻辑，是否可以说，美国前年遭受的卡特里娜飓风是美国政府发动伊拉克战争的报应？那么洛杉矶的地震呢？我想，莎朗斯通是万万不敢对她的美国同胞这样说的，哪怕是在私人客厅里。那为什么可以毫无顾忌地在电影节的红地毯上对全世界人这样说？是无知还是可怕的偏见与妄自尊大？
    不论原因如何，这番话是对西方一些人一直标榜普世价值的极大嘲讽，与地震中中国人表现出来的强大的人道主义精神真是形成鲜明的对比。
    在好莱坞，信佛和与宗教人士交往是件时髦的事，可是连对生命的敬畏和慈悲都没有，任什么宗教也难以认同吧。甚至达赖喇嘛也未见得愿意被与莎朗斯通的这番话扯在一起。对死难者如此不敬，又该得到什么样的报应呢？！ -- 杨澜
