王毅在法国国际关系研究院的演讲（双语全文）(2)

和欧洲一样，中国是世界上最古老也是最受尊重的文明之一。习近平主席说过，实现中华民族伟大复兴，是中华民族近代以来最伟大的梦想。只有创造过辉煌的民族，才懂得复兴的意义；只有经历过苦难的人民，才对复兴有如此深切的渴望。中国的复兴，是为了实现国家富强、民族振兴、人民幸福，是让中华文明重归人类发展进步的潮头，开启中国与世界开放交融的新纪元。一些人称中国的复兴是为了改变甚至征服世界，这是对中国历史、中华文明的无知。Like Europe, China is one of the oldest and most respected civilizations in the world. As President Xi Jinping said, realizing national rejuvenation has been the greatest dream of the Chinese nation since modern times. Only nations that once achieved greatness could appreciate the meaning of rejuvenation. Only peoples that survived so many trials and tribulations would yearn for rejuvenation.What China"s rejuvenation is about is achieving the prosperity of the country, revitalization of the nation and happiness of the people. It is about bringing the Chinese civilization back to the forefront of human progress and starting a new era of openness and integration with the world.The assertion that China"s rejuvenation is to remake or conquer the world only reveals a lack of knowledge about Chinese history and the Chinese civilization.
