尼克松访华祝酒词

尼克松访华演讲1972, US president Richard M. Nixon visited China, below was his Speech at a Welcoming Banquet Mr。

Prime Minister，I wish to thank you for your very gracious and eloquent remarks. At this very moment through the wonder of telecommunications，more people are seeing and hearing what we say to them than on any other such occasion in the whole history of the world。

Yet，what we say here will not be long remembered。

What we do here can change the world。

As you said in your toast, the Chinese people are a great people, and the American people are a great people. If our two peoples are enemies，the future of this world we share together is dark indeed。

But if we can find common ground to work together, the change for world peace is immeasurably increased。

What legacy shall we leave our children？Are they destined to die for the hatreds which have plagued the old world，or are they destined to live because we had the vision to build a newworld?There is no reason for us to be enemies。

龙源期刊网 影响中国历史的十大宴会（之十）/可笑的“满汉全席”作者：来源：《饮食与健康·下旬刊》2014年第03期影响中国历史的十大宴会（之十）文/代军和平之宴——尼克松访华之宴历史背景：20世纪70年代初，世界格局出现了重大变化，美苏这两个超级大国在军事、航天、科技、外交等各个领域的竞争愈演愈烈，此时出现了暂时的苏攻美守的态势，而世界上最大的发展中国家——中国，虽然还正处于文革时期，但在军事、外交上显现出的巨大能量和潜力已经不容小视，尤其是新中国恢复了在联合国的合法席位。

同时中国和苏联虽同为社会主义国家却关系交恶，甚至兵戎相向。

国际形势使美国不能再漠视中国的存在，也不得不考虑调整对华政策，而中国此时也有意与美国改善关系，这一切最终促成了尼克松总统在1972年2月21日对中国的访问。

上午9时尼克松总统抵达北京，周恩来总理亲自去机场迎接。

当天下午，毛泽东主席会见了尼克松总统。

当天晚上，周恩来举行了欢迎尼克松的宴会。

周恩来在宴会祝酒词中说：“美国人民是伟大的人民。

中国人民是伟大的人民。

我们两国人民一向是友好的。

由于大家都知道的原因，两国人民之间的来往中断了20多年。

现在，经过中美双方的共同努力，友好来往的大门终于打开了。

目前，促使两国关系正常化，争取和缓紧张局势，已成为中美两国人民强烈的愿望。

我们相信，我们两国人民这种共同愿望，总有一天是要实现的。

”在接下来的八天里，双方进行了广泛的会谈，1972年2月28日，中美两国政府领导人在上海发表“联合公报”，公报的关键之处在于美国承认，中國只有一个，而台湾是中国的一部分。

而且肯定了美国武装力量和军事设施从台湾全部撤出的最终前景。

历史影响：尼克松访华，是中美关系发展的一个里程碑，是中国在中美关系中坚持不懈的原则斗争对美国反华政策的一个胜利。

它促进了中美关系开始正常化的进程，同时也改变了中国在国际的两个战略方向上存在重大敌手的处境，对国际形势的发展产生了深远的影响。

As you know, it is the custom in our country that the members of the press have the right to speak for themselves and that no one in government can speak for them. But I am sure that all those from the American press who are here tonight will grant me the rare privilege of speaking for the press in extending their appreciation to you and your government for the many courtesies you have extended to them.大家知道，按照我国的习惯，我们的新闻界人士有权代表他们自己讲话，而政府官员是没有代表他们讲话的权利的。

//正如您在祝酒词里讲的那样，中国人民是伟大的人民，美国人民是伟大的人民。

如果我们两国人民互相为敌的话，那么我们共同居住的这个世界的前途就真的是黯淡了。

//但是，如果我们能够找到进行合作的共同点，那么实现世界和平的机会就不可估量地增加了。

Mr. Prime Minister and all of your distinguished guests this evening: On behalf of all of your American-guests, I wish to thank you for the incomparably hospitality for which the Chinese people are justly famous throughout the world. I particularly want to pay tribute, not only to those who prepared the magnificent dinner, but also to those who have provided the splendid music. Never have I heard American music played better in a foreign land. Mr. Prime Minister, I wish to thank you for your very gracious and eloquent remarks. At this very moment, through the wonder of telecommunications, more people are seeing and hearing what we say than on any other such occasion in the whole history of the world. Yet, what we say here will not be long remembered. What we do here can change the world. As you said in your toast, the Chinese people are a great people, the American people are a great people. If our two peoples are enemies the future of this world we share, together is dark indeed. But if we can find common ground to work together, the chance for world peace is immeasurably increased.……本着这种精神，我请求各位同我一起举杯，为毛主席、为周总理，为能够为全世界人民带来友谊与和平的中美人民的友谊，干杯！In that spirit, I ask all of you present to join me in raising your glasses to Chairman Mao, to Prime Minister Chou, and to the friendship of the Chinese and American people which can lead to friendship and peace for all people in the world.2 市长先生阁下，中国朋友们，女士们，先生们:这是我首次访问你们这座美丽的城市，我为此深感荣幸。

If our two peoples are enemiesthe future of this world we share, together is dark indeed. But if we can find common ground to work together, the chance for world peaceis immeasurably increased.In the spirit of frankness which I hope will characterize our talks this week, let us recognize at the outset these points: We have at times in the past been enemies. We have great differences today. What brings us together is that we have common interests which transcend those differences. As we discuss our differences, neither of us will compromise our principles. But while we cannot close the gulf between us, we can try to bridge it so that we may be able to talk across it.So, let us, in these next five days, start a long march together, not in lockstep, but on different roads leading to the same goal, the goal of building a world structure of peace and justice in which all may stand together with equal dignity and in which each nation, large or small, has a right to determine its own form of government, free of outside interference or domination. The world watches. The world listens. The world waits to see what we will do. What is the world? In a personal sense, I think of my eldest daughter whose birthday is today.

Neither of us seeks the territory of the other; neither of us seeks domination over the other; neither of us seeks to stretch out our hands and rule the world.Chairman Mao has written, "So many deeds cry out to be done, and always urgently; The world rolls on, Time presses.

总理阁下和今晚所有您尊贵的客人们：我代表您所有的美国客人，感谢你们无比的热情，中国人民以这种热情闻名于世。

我不仅要特别感谢那些准备了这场盛大晚宴的人，还要特别感谢那些演奏优美音乐的人。

我从未在异乡听到美国音乐演奏得这么棒。

总理阁下，感谢您热情并有说服力的演讲。

在这个特有的时刻，通过远程通信的奇迹，看到和听到我们讲话的人比整个世界历史上任何一个场合的人都要多。

但是，我们所说的将不会被长久记住。

我们所做的却能改变世界。

正如您在您的祝酒词中所说的，中华民族是一个伟大的民族，美利坚民族也是一个伟大的民族。

如果着两个民族成为敌人，我们所共享的这个世界的未来一定是黑暗的。

然而如果我们可以找到共同点一起合作，实现世界和平的机会就会无限地增加。

我希望在这周的会谈中，能本着坦诚的精神，让我们首先认识以下几点：在过去一段时间里我们曾是敌人。

现在我们也存在巨大的分歧。

促使我们一起合作的是超越分歧的共同利益。

当我们讨论我们的分歧时，我们都不会在原则上妥协。

虽然我们无法减少我们之间的分歧，但是我们可以尽力在分歧上搭建桥梁，这样我们就有可能越过分歧进行会谈。

让我们在接下来的五天一起开始一次长征，不是步伐一致，而是在不同道路上朝着同一个目标，这个目标是构建和平公正的世界。

在这个世界中，所有人以同等的尊严站在一起；在这个世界中，每个国家，无论大小，都有权利决定他们自己的政体，不受外界干扰和控制。

世界在看。

世界在听。

世界等着看我们将要做什么。

世界是什么呢？个人角度而言，我想到我的大女儿，她的生日在今天。

当我想到她，我想到了世界上所有的孩子，在亚洲的，在非洲的，在欧洲的，在美洲的，他们很多都出生在中华人民共和国成立之后。

我们将给我们的孩子留下什么遗产呢？因为仇恨在旧世界作怪，他们就注定要为之牺牲么？或者因为我们有远见去构建新世界，他们就注定要活下去么？我们没有理由成为敌人。

我们都不会抢占对方的领土；我们都不会企图统治对方；我们都不会企图伸手统治世界。

一、“多少事，从来急；天地转，光阴迫。

一万年太久，只争朝夕！” —— (毛泽东《满江红•和郭沫若同志》) 引用者：尼克松 (美国第37任总统) 背景说明：1972年2月21日美国总统尼克松访华时，曾在祝酒词的最后引用毛泽东《满江红•和郭沫若同志》一词中的句子：“Chairman has written：So many deeds cry out to be done，and always urgently；the world rolls on，time presses。

Tenthousand years are too long；seize the day，seize the hour！(多少事，从来急；天地转，光阴迫。

一万年太久，只争朝夕)” 在赢得全场掌声后，尼克松接着借题发挥：“This is the hour，This is the day for our two people。

(现在，就是我们两国人民只争朝夕的时候了)”，更为前句增色。

而此时，是中美中断了20年的联系逐渐恢复正常的时候，两国渴望接触，这句诗词的恰当引用，准确地表达了他希望中美邦交正常化的迫切心情，赢得了满堂彩。

二、“今世褦襶(nàidài)子，触热到人家。

” ——(晋•程晓《嘲热客》) 引用者：卡特 (美国第39任总统) 背景说明：美国第39任总统卡特卸任后，在1981年8月24日来到北京。

当是北京正值盛夏，卡特一下飞机便念了两句中国古诗：“今世褦襶子，触热到人家”。

此诗出自晋人程晓所作《嘲热客》：“平生三伏时，道路无行车。

闭门避暑卧，出入不相过。

今世褦襶子，触热到人家。

主人闻客来，颦蹙奈此何。

摇扇髀中疾，流汗正滂沱。

传戒诸高明，热行宜见诃。

”其中“主人闻客来，颦蹙奈此何”这两句，很符合卡特的身份：已经不担任总统了，还来麻烦主人，很不好意思啊。

三、“海内存知己，天涯若比邻。

Toast Speech by Richard Nixon 尼克松访华祝酒词1972, US president Richard M. Nixon visited China, below was his Speech at a Welcoming BanquetMr. Prime Minister and all of your distinguished guests this evening:On behalf of all of your American-guests, I wish to thank you for the incomparably hospitality for which the Chinese people are justly famous throughout the world. I particularly want to pay tribute, not only to those who prepared the magnificent dinner, but also to those who have provided the splendid music. Never have I heard American music played better in a foreign land. Mr. Prime Minister, I wish to thank you for your very gracious and eloquent remarks. At this very moment through the wonder of telecommunications, more people are seeing and hearing what we say to them than on any other such occasion in the whole history of the world. Yet, what we say here will not be long remembered. What we do here can change the world.As you said in your toast, the Chinese people are a great people, and the American people are a great people. If our two peoples are enemies, the future of this world we share together is dark indeed. But if we can find common ground to work together, the change for world peace is immeasurably increased.What legacy shall we leave our children? Are they destined to die for the hatreds which have plagued the old world, or are they destined to live because we had the vision to build a new world?There is no reason for us to be enemies. Neither of us seeks the territory of the other, neither of us seeks domination over the other, and neither of us seeks to stretch out our hands and rule the world.Chairman Mao has written, “So many deeds cry out to be done, and always urgently; the world rolls on, time presses.

尼克松访华演讲英文版第一篇：尼克松访华演讲英文版speech---Richard M.Nixon 1972, US president Richard M.Nixon visited China, below was his Speech at a Welcoming BanquetMr.Prime Minister, I wish to thank you for your very gracious and eloquent remarks.At this very moment through the wonder of telecommunications, more people are seeing and hearing what we say to them than on any other such occasion in the whole history of the world.Yet, what we say here will not be long remembered.What we do here can change the world.As you said in your toast, the Chinese people are a great people, and the American people are a great people.If our two peoples are enemies, the future of this world we share together is dark indeed.But if we can find common ground to work together, the change for world peace is immeasurably increased.In the spirit of frankness which I hope will characterised our talks on this week, let us recognize at the outset those points: we have times in the past been enemies.We have great differences today.What brings us together is that we have common interests which transcend those differences.As we discuss our differences, neither of us will compromise our principle.But while we can not close the gulf between us, we can try to bridge it so that we may be able to talk across it.So, let us, in these next five years, start along march together, not in lockstep, but on different roads leading to the same goal, the goal of building a world structure of peace and justice, in which all may stand together with equal dignity and in which each nation, large or small, has a right to determine its own form of government, free of outside inference of domination.Theworld watches.The world listens.The world waits to see what we’ll do.What is the world? In a personal sense, I think of my eldest daughter whose birthday is today.As I think of her, I think of all the children in the world, in Asia, in Africa, in Europe, in the Americas, most of whom were born since the date of the foundation of the People’s Repulic of China.What legacy shall we leave our children? Are they destined to die for the hatreds which have plagued the old world, or are they destined to live because we had the vision to build a new world?There is no reason for us to be enemies.Neither of us seeks the territory of the other, neither of us seeks domination over the other, and neither of us seeks to stretch out our hands and rule the world.Chairman Mao has written, “So many deeds cry out to be done, and always urgently;the world rolls on, time presses.Ten thousand years are too long, seize the hour!” This is the hour.This is the day for our two peoples to rise to the heights of greatness which can build a new and a better world.In that spirit, I ask all of you present to join me in raising your glasses to Chairman Mao, to Prime Minister Zhou, and to the friendship of the Chinese and American people that can lead to friendship and peace for all people in the world.总理先生，我要感谢您好作的如此盛情和意味深长的讲话。
