一幅矗立在中國駐美國大使館大廳中央的巨幅黑白照片吸引了所有來訪者的目光。在這幅攝于二戰(zhàn)中的照片上，一名年輕的美國軍人和一名中國兒童蹲在戰(zhàn)壕里，各自手握一只鴿子，頂端是四個大字：和平、正義。

A huge black-and-white photograph in the central hall of the Chinese Embassy in Washington draws visitors’ attention. In the photo, taken during World War II, a young American soldier and a Chinese boy are crouching in the trenches while holding two pigeons in their hands. Above the photo are these words: For Justice and Peace.

這張動人心弦的照片見證了一段由中美人民共同創(chuàng)造的歷史。在那場歷史上最血腥的戰(zhàn)爭中，世界各國人民團結(jié)起來打敗了法西斯勢力，也蒙受了巨大的生命和財產(chǎn)損失。當(dāng)仇恨隨著時間遠去，我們應(yīng)牢牢記住，和平與正義從來不是無代價的。

The photo touches our hearts because it is a testament to the history created by Chinese and American people together. In history’s deadliest war, people of different nations united to defeat the fascist forces with immeasurable cost of life and property. While hatred faded away, we should not forget that peace and justice are never free.

本周四，北京舉行了中國人民抗日戰(zhàn)爭暨世界反法西斯戰(zhàn)爭勝利70周年紀(jì)念活動。我們紀(jì)念的不僅是犧牲的先烈，還有正義戰(zhàn)勝邪惡的光榮。這份光榮屬于中國，也屬于美國和世界所有愛好和平的國家。我們永遠不會忘記中美兩國并肩奮戰(zhàn)的歷史，也同樣感謝美國為支援中國抗戰(zhàn)作出的貢獻。美國朋友，包括飛虎隊的老兵，應(yīng)邀參加了紀(jì)念活動。

On Thursday, Beijing will host an event to commemorate the victory over fascism. It aims not only to remember those who sacrificed everything, but also to celebrate the triumph of good over evil, honoring China, the U.S. and all peace-loving countries. We will never forget that China and the U.S. were allies fighting side by side, and will be forever grateful for the contributions made by the U.S. in supporting China’s resistance against Japanese aggression. American friends, including veterans of the famous Flying Tigers, have been invited to join the event.

1945年的勝利奠定了當(dāng)今國際秩序的基礎(chǔ)。由二戰(zhàn)催生的《聯(lián)合國憲章》提出了主權(quán)平等、集體安全、國際合作、共同發(fā)展等一系列重要的國際關(guān)系準(zhǔn)則。這些準(zhǔn)則對于維護國際秩序仍發(fā)揮著重要作用，沒有過時。二戰(zhàn)結(jié)束以來，盡管世界經(jīng)歷了冷戰(zhàn)和許多地區(qū)沖突，但和平與發(fā)展的時代潮流始終強勁，以聯(lián)合國為代表的國際機制發(fā)揮了越來越大的作用。

The victory of 1945 laid the foundation for today’s international order. The Charter of the United Nations, born in the ruins of World War II, raised a series of important principles governing current international relations, such as sovereign equality, collective security, international cooperation and common development. These shared values will never be outdated. They still play a central role in maintaining international order. Since World War II, despite the Cold War and some regional conflicts, the trend toward peace and development has remained strong, with the U.N. and many other international mechanisms playing greater roles in world affairs.

當(dāng)今世界正處在新的變革中。全球化使得各國聯(lián)系更加緊密，包括中國在內(nèi)的許多發(fā)展中國家借助不斷增強的實力，正在為國際社會提供更多的公共產(chǎn)品。同時，世界仍面臨著恐怖主義、氣候變化、金融動蕩、極端貧困、自然災(zāi)害等挑戰(zhàn)，需要更好地協(xié)調(diào)應(yīng)對。國際秩序在保持穩(wěn)定的基礎(chǔ)上也要適應(yīng)變化，應(yīng)通過包容性的對話進行漸進改革和調(diào)整。

Now the world is undergoing profound change. Globalization has deepened ties between countries. A number of developing countries, including China, are offering more public goods to the international community with growing capabilities. Meanwhile, the international community is faced with many challenges – such as terrorism, climate change, financial risks, extreme poverty and natural disaster – that require better coordination. While the frameworks of current international order should remain stable, it is important to adapt to the changing situation. Gradual reforms and adjustments should be introduced through inclusive consultations.

變革經(jīng)常會帶來焦慮。有一些人懷疑中國正試圖挑戰(zhàn)現(xiàn)行國際秩序和美國的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)地位，他們認為這將不可避免地導(dǎo)致中美之間的沖突，甚至戰(zhàn)爭。事實并非如此。中國通過堅持走和平發(fā)展道路，推動改革，擴大開放，獲得了巨大發(fā)展。中國是現(xiàn)行國際秩序的受益者和維護者，挑戰(zhàn)國際秩序并不符合自身利益。中方倡議成立亞洲基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施投資銀行(亞投行)是為了對世界銀行和其他地區(qū)發(fā)展機制形成補充，而非挑戰(zhàn)，中方歡迎美國的參與。

However, change often brings anxiety. Some people are suspicious that China is trying to challenge current international order and U.S. global leadership. They believe that such attempts will inevitably lead to conflict, or even war. Yet the simple fact is that China has achieved remarkable growth by committing to the peaceful development path, carrying out reform and opening up. China benefits from the current international order and has been the guardian of such order. Being an irrational challenger does not serve its interests. The Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank is one of the efforts made by China to complement the World Bank and other regional development banks, not to challenge them. We welcome U.S. participation.

誠然，中美有很多不同和差異，但這不影響雙方共同的國際責(zé)任，也不妨礙雙方各領(lǐng)域的合作。中美應(yīng)超越分歧，致力于維護戰(zhàn)后國際秩序的核心價值和基本框架，堅決反對否定和挑戰(zhàn)二戰(zhàn)成果的行為。同時，兩國應(yīng)發(fā)揮各自優(yōu)勢，探索加強合作，推進全球治理的新途徑，兩國在應(yīng)對氣候變化和埃博拉疫情等方面的合作已取得了顯著成果。本月下旬，習(xí)近平主席將對美國進行國事訪問，兩國元首將有機會就國際秩序等問題進行深入交流。

Differences between China and the U.S. have neither undermined our shared international responsibilities nor hindered our cooperation in various areas. We should look beyond our differences, stay committed to the core values and the major framework of the post-war international order, and steadfastly reject behaviors that challenge them. China and the U.S. should also leverage our respective advantages to explore new measures to enhance cooperation in global governance. So far, we have tremendous achievements, such as tackling climate change and the Ebola epidemic. Later this month, President Xi Jinping will pay a state visit to the United States, during which President Obama and President Xi will have the opportunity to share their visions on the international order.

照片上那名年輕的美國士兵也許不會想到，他和一名來自中國遙遠山村的孩子之間的友誼會跨越時空。正如兩國在70年前所作的那樣，中美應(yīng)和國際社會其他伙伴一道，繼續(xù)致力于維護和完善國際秩序。

The young American soldier in the photo may never know that his friendship with a little boy in a remote Chinese village can transcend time and distance. Just like we did 70 years ago, China and the U.S., together with other members of the international community, should and will continue to maintain and improve the international order.
