孟夏之日,万物并秀。
演讲原文:
“孟夏之日,万物并秀。”在这美好时节,来自100多个国家的各界嘉宾齐聚北京,共商“一带一路”建设合作大计,具有十分重要的意义。
In this lovely season of early Summer when every living thing is full of energy, I wish to welcome all of you, distinguished guests representing over 100 countries, to attend this important forum on the Belt and Road Initiative held in Beijing.
出自【子部·明代笔记】 明·高濂《遵生八笺》。(《遵生八笺》是部养生专著)
“孟夏之月,天地始交,万物并秀,宜夜卧早起,以受清明之气。勿大怒大泄。夏者,火也,位南方,其声呼,其液汗,故怒与泄为伤元气也。卦值干,干者,健也,阳之性,天之象也。君子以自强不息。生气在卯,坐卧行动宜向正东方。”

凿空之旅
演讲原文:
公元前140多年的中国汉代,一支从长安出发的和平使团,开始打通东方通往西方的道路,完成了“凿空之旅”,这就是著名的张骞出使西域。
In China's Han Dynasty around 140 B.C., Zhang Qian, a royal emissary, left Chang'an, capital of the Han Dynasty. He traveled westward on a mission of peace and opened an overland route linking the East and the West, a daring undertaking which came to be known as Zhang Qian's journey to the Western regions.
出自西汉司马迁《史记》。
“然张骞凿空,其后使往者皆称博望侯,以为质於外国,外国由此信之。”

使者相望于道,商旅不绝于途。
演讲原文:
古丝绸之路见证了陆上“使者相望于道,商旅不绝于途”的盛况,也见证了海上“舶交海中,不知其数”的繁华。
The ancient silk routes witnessed the bustling scenes of visits and trade over land and ships calling at ports.
出自宋代司马光《资治通鉴》。
“天子得宛汗血马,爱之,名曰'天马'。使者相望于道以求之。”
舶交海中,不知其数。
“舶交海中”出自唐代韩愈《送郑尚书序》。
“其海外杂国,若耽浮罗、流求、毛人、夷亶之州,林邑、扶南、真腊、于陀利之属,东南际天地以万数,或时候风潮朝贡,蛮胡贾人舶交海中……外国之货日至,珠香象犀玳瑁奇物溢于中国,不可胜用。”

桃李不言,下自成蹊。
演讲原文:
2013年秋天,我在哈萨克斯坦和印度尼西亚提出共建丝绸之路经济带和21世纪海上丝绸之路,即“一带一路”倡议。“桃李不言,下自成蹊。”
In the autumn of 2013, respectively in Kazakhstan and Indonesia, I proposed the building of the Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road, which I call the Belt and Road Initiative. As a Chinese saying goes, “Peaches and plums do not speak, but they are so attractive that a path is formed below the trees.”
出自《史记·李将军列传》。
太史公曰:《传》曰“其身正,不令而行;其身不正,虽令不从”。其李将军之谓也?余睹李将军悛悛如鄙人,口不能道辞。及死之日,天下知与不知,皆为尽哀。彼其忠实心诚信于士大夫也!谚曰“桃李不言,下自成蹊”。此言虽小,可以喻大也。

An ancient Chinese saying goes, "A long journey can be covered only by taking one step at a time".

“不积跬步,无以至千里;不积小流,无以成江海。”
