当时，海外的华人身份认同模糊，有些身在南洋，却心在中国。

60年代，新加坡走向独立，华社组织也和政府合作，积极推动我国的社会和经济发展，以及国防建设。
In the 1960s, when Singapore moved towards independence, Chinese society organizations also cooperated with the government to actively promote my country's social and economic development and national defense construction.

1967的奖章，不是我的，因为我太年轻!
The 1967 medal is not mine, because I am too young!
shì zhōng huá zǒng shāng huì jiè lái zhǎng shēng
是中华总商会借来。 [掌声]
Borrowed by the Chinese General Chamber of Commerce. [applause]

看不清楚有图样。
There is a pattern clearly.

奖章的正面，有代表新加坡的五颗星星和一个月亮，以及“新加坡中华总商会”的字样，
On the front of the medal, there are five stars and a moon representing Singapore, and the words "Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce".
bèi miàn xiǎn shì de shì guó mín fú yì yǐ jí jǐn zhōng bào guó zhè sì gè zì

这显示，本地华人从那个时候，已经开始把他们的效忠意识转移到新加坡，认同新加坡公民的新身份。
This shows that since that time, local Chinese have begun to transfer their sense of allegiance to Singapore and identify with the new identity of Singaporean citizens.
yóu cǐ kě jiàn xīn jiā pō huá rén shì jīng guò le liǎng bǎi duō nián cái zhú jiàn xíng chéng zì jǐ de shēn fèn rèn tóng
由此可见，新加坡华人是经过了两百多年，才逐渐形成自己的身份认同。
This shows that it took more than two hundred years for the Chinese in Singapore to gradually form their own identity.

我们的先辈为自己的祖国所做出的奉献与牺牲，是一种高贵的情操，也是值得我们珍惜的精神遗产。
The dedication and sacrifice made by our ancestors for our motherland is a noble sentiment and a spiritual heritage worth cherishing.

为了纪念先辈的事迹，我们把晚晴园列为国家古迹，也在那里竖立雕像纪念南侨机工。
In order to commemorate the deeds of our ancestors, we listed the Wanqing Garden as a national monument, and we also erected a statue there to commemorate the Nanqiao mechanic.

这个是我们10多年前做的事情。
This is what we did more than 10 years ago.

同样的，为了表达我们对二战时期死难人民的敬意，每年的2月15日，各族同胞也会一同出席庄严的悼念仪式，
Similarly, in order to express our respect for the people who died during World War II, compatriots of all ethnic groups will also attend a solemn memorial ceremony on February 15 each year.

日本占领新加坡的惨痛经历，激发了各个种族的国家意识，也坚定了我们要当家作主的决心。
The tragic experience of Japan's occupation of Singapore has inspired the national consciousness of all races and strengthened our determination to be the masters of the country.
mǎ lái hé yìn dù shè qún zài jiàn lì shēn fèn rèn tóng fāng miàn yě yǒu xiāng tóng de jīng lì
马来和印度社群在建立身份认同方面也有相同的经历。
The Malay and Indian communities have the same experience in establishing identity.
tā men gāng lái xīn jiā pō de shí hòu yě bǎ zì jǐ dāng zuò guò kè
他们刚来新加坡的时候，也把自己当作过客。
When they first came to Singapore, they also regarded themselves as tourists.
zài fǎn zhí mín dòu zhēng zhōng yìn dù rén shēn shòu yìn dù dú lì dòu zhēng de yǐng xiǎng mǎ lái rén zé shēn shòu yìn ní hé mǎ lái yà mín zú yùn dòng de yǐng xiǎng
在反殖民斗争中，印度人深受印度独立斗争的影响，马来人则深受印尼和马来亚民族运动的影响。
In the anti-colonial struggle, the Indians were deeply influenced by the struggle for independence in India, while the Malays were deeply influenced by the Indonesian and Malayan national movements.
dāng nián wǒ men zhēng qǔ tuō lí zhí mín dì tǒng zhì hào zhào qún zhòng de kǒu hào dú lì jiù lái zì yìn ní hé mǎ lái yà de zhèng zhì yùn dòng
当年我们争取脱离殖民地统治，号召群众的口号 – merdeka! （独立！）– 就来自印尼和马来亚的政治运动。
The slogan that we fought to escape from colonial rule – Merdeka! (Independence!) – came from political movements in Indonesia and Malaya.
jǐn guǎn dà jiā yǔ zǔ guó qí shí yīng gāi shuō yú gè zì de zǔ guó yǒu mì qiè de lián xì
尽管大家与祖国，其实应该说于各自的祖国有密切的联系，
Although everyone is in close contact with the motherland,
běn dì de mǎ lái rén yìn dù rén hé ōu yà yì rén zuì zhōng yě hé huá rén yī yàng xuǎn zé zài zhè lǐ luò dì shēng gēn
本地的马来人、印度人和欧亚裔人最终也和华人一样，选择在这里落地生根。
The local Malays, Indians and Eurasian people eventually chose to take root here just like the Chinese.
suǒ yǐ cóng luò yè guī gēn biàn chéng luò dì shēng gēn
所以从 “落叶归根” 变成 “落地生根”。
So from "fallen leaves return to roots" to "fallen roots".
zhú jiàn duì xīn jiā pō chǎn shēng rèn tóng
逐渐对新加坡产生认同。

同样的，今天的新移民也需要一段时间，才会完全融入本地社会，认同与效忠新加坡。
Similarly, it will take some time for new immigrants today to fully integrate into the local society, identify with and loyal to Singapore.

这也有助于我们理解当今的世界局势，以及新加坡在国际问题上的观点。
This also helps us understand the current world situation and Singapore’s views on international issues.

两个大国的纠纷，使世界各国陷入一个困难的处境，大家都不想在中美之间选边站，新加坡也不例外。
The dispute between the two major powers has plunged countries around the world into a difficult situation. No one wants to choose between China and the United States, and Singapore is no exception.

中国改革开放以来，发展迅速，晋升为世界第二大经济体。
Since China's reform and opening up, it has developed rapidly and has been promoted to the second largest economy in the world.

从各方面来看，中国的腾飞对中国本身乃至全世界，都带来了巨大好处，但这也产生了新的国际格局。
In all respects, China's take-off has brought tremendous benefits to China itself and the world, but it also created a new international pattern.
zuò wèi shì jiè tóu hào qiáng guó de měi guó bì xū róng nà yī gè gèng yǒu yǐng xiǎng lì de rì yì qiáng dà de zhōng guó
作为世界头号强国的美国，必须容纳一个更有影响力的、日益强大的中国。
As the world's number one power, the United States must accommodate a more influential and increasingly powerful China.
měi guó yě bì xū jiē shòu zǔ dǎng zhōng guó de jué qǐ shì bù kě néng de yě shì bù míng zhì de
美国也必须接受，阻挡中国的崛起，是不可能的，也是不明智的。
The United States must also accept that it is impossible and unwise to stop China's rise.
měi guó bì xū yǔ zhōng guó xún qiú jiàn shè xìng de guān xì yǐ jí zài jīng jì shàng hù xiāng yī cún de guān xì
美国必须与中国寻求建设性的关系，以及在经济上互相依存的关系。
The United States must seek a constructive relationship with China and an economically interdependent relationship.

成为一个世界强国之后，中国本身也应该设身处地，考虑到其他国家的利益和感受。
After becoming a world power, China itself should also put itself in place, taking into account the interests and feelings of other countries.
zhè yàng zhōng guó cái néng hé shì jiè gè guó hé píng xiāng chù cái néng chéng wèi dà jiā yǎn zhōng yī gè kuān róng dà dù de guó jiā yǐ jí yī gè gòng móu fú lì de huǒ bàn
这样，中国才能和世界各国和平相处，才能成为大家眼中一个宽容大度的国家，以及一个共谋福利的伙伴。
Only in this way can China live in peace with other countries in the world and become a tolerant country in everyone's eyes and a partner for common welfare.

中美之间有竞争是必然的，但同时，双方也必须加强互信，并且通过适当的机制处理无可避免的摩擦。
Competition between China and the United States is inevitable, but at the same time, the two sides must also strengthen mutual trust and deal with the inevitable friction through appropriate mechanisms.
yí hàn de shì yě shì dān yōu de shì zhōng guó hé měi guó zhì jīn hái méi yǒu zhǎo dào huà jiě máo dùn de líng dān miào yào
遗憾的是， 也是担忧的是，中国和美国至今还没有找到化解矛盾的“灵丹妙药”。
Regrettably, but also worrying is that China and the United States have not yet found a "magic bullet" to resolve the conflict.
zhè yàng de jǐn zhāng guān xì zài duǎn qī nèi bù huì shū jiě zhè jiāng yǐng xiǎng zhěng gè shì jiè de gé jú
这样的紧张关系在短期内不会纾解 ，这将影响整个世界的格局。
Such tensions will not be relieved in the short term, which will affect the pattern of the entire world.

如果我们支持中国，美国和其他国家可能会认为我们这么做，是因为在新加坡华人占多数，所以我们对中国有求必应。
If we support China, the United States and other countries may think that we do it because the Chinese in Singapore are the majority, so we are responsive to China.

Some Chinese friends asked us this way: "Since the same text, the same clan, the same ancestor, the same language, and the same language, why don't you agree?"

让我举个例子说明，大家手中的智能手机是由许多零件组成，而这些零件又是在各个不同的国家设计、制造和组装成的。
Let me give an example to illustrate that the smartphone in your hand is composed of many parts, and these parts are designed, manufactured and assembled in various countries.

所以你问，手机是什么地方制作的？

其实是在许许多多国家制作的。
It’s actually made in many countries.

苹果手机是这样，华为手机也是如此。

那中美企业就必须各自制造自己的零件和芯片，研发自己的智能手机，并开发自己的电信系统。
Then Chinese and American companies must each manufacture their own parts and chips, develop their own smart phones, and develop their own telecommunication systems.
zhè yàng yī lái wǒ men chū guó shí jiù bì xū xié dài hǎo jǐ bù shǒu jī

Just like a few years ago, when we went to Japan, we needed to prepare a mobile phone with a CDMA network because Singapore was using the GSM system.

In such a world where the well water does not violate the river water and the two camps do their own things, we still hope to be able to communicate and contact all our friends easily.

如果中美彼此无法建立互信，世界继续分化，那新加坡的经济增长将受到拖累，前景会变得更加暗淡。
If China and the United States cannot establish mutual trust and the world continues to divide, Singapore’s economic growth will be dragged down and the prospects will become even more bleak.

很多以中国为主要市场的本地公司会受到冲击，而那些在中国设厂、出口货品到美国的新加坡公司也会遭殃。
Many local companies with China as their main market will suffer, and those Singapore companies that set up factories in China and export goods to the United States will also suffer.

In general, the continued deterioration of Sino-US relations is not good news for the world, nor is it good for Singapore.

这主要是因为国际需求和贸易下降，打击了本地制造业以及与贸易相关的服务。
This is mainly because the decline in international demand and trade has hit the local manufacturing industry and trade-related services.

他们说，工友虽然很担心自己的饭碗，但是幸好到目前为止，经济放缓还没有显著影响到工友的就业情况。
They said that although workers are very worried about their jobs, fortunately, the economic slowdown has not significantly affected the employment of workers so far.

我谈了珍宝的经验，其实有好几个目的——
I talked about Jumbo’s experience, which actually has several purposes-
dì yī tí xǐng yuán gōng cān jiā péi xùn
第一，提醒员工参加培训；

这才能确保新加坡能够持续繁荣，国人的生活长久获得保障。

就如变幻莫测的天气一样，一下子艳阳高照，一下子乌云密布。
Just like the unpredictable weather, all of a sudden the sun was shining brightly, and all of a sudden it was clouded.

因此，我们必须为将来做好准备，秉持先辈毫无畏惧、力争上游的精神，齐心协力，一同克服困难。
Therefore, we must prepare for the future, uphold the ancestors' undaunted and striving spirit, and work together to overcome difficulties together.
wǒ jiān xìn zhǐ yào zhèng fǔ hé rén mín tuán jié yī zhì xīn jiā pō rén jiù néng gòu xiǎng yǒu gèng hǎo de shēng huó
我坚信，只要政府和人民团结一致，新加坡人就能够享有更好的生活，

他们的效忠意识受到质疑，也造成了中国与东南亚国家的矛盾。

Their sense of allegiance has been questioned, which has also caused conflicts between China and Southeast Asian countries.

cóng nián dài kāi shǐ zhōng guó jiù jiāng hǎi wài de huá rén qū fēn wèi hǎi wài huá qiáo hé huá rén shì shén me ne

从50年代开始，中国就将海外的华人区分为“海外华侨”和“华人”。是什么呢?

Since the 1950s, China has divided overseas Chinese into "overseas Chinese" and "Chinese." what is it then?

hǎi wài huá qiáo zhǐ de shì xuǎn zé bǎo liú zhōng guó guó jí de rén

“海外华侨”指的是选择保留中国国籍的人。

"Overseas Chinese" refers to those who choose to retain Chinese nationality.

huá rén zhǐ de què shì jiā rù suǒ zài guó guó jí de rén

“华人”指的却是加入所在国国籍的人。

"Chinese" refers to people who have joined the nationality of the country in which they are located.

dāng shí de zhōng guó zǒng lǐ zhōu ēn lái xiān shēng jiù míng què dì biǎo míng

当时的中国总理周恩来先生就明确地表明，

The then Chinese Premier Zhou Enlai made it clear that

yī dàn jiā rù suǒ zài guó de guó jí zhè xiē huá rén jiù bù zài yōng yǒu zhōng guó guó jí yīng dāng xiào zhōng rù jí de guó jiā

一旦加入所在国的国籍，这些华人就不再拥有中国国籍，应当效忠入籍的国家。

Once they have joined the nationality of their country, these Chinese no longer possess Chinese nationality and should be loyal to the naturalized country.

zài nà gè shí hòu wǒ men de xiān bèi bì xū zuò chū rén shēng zhōng de zhòng dà jué zé yào jì xù liú zài xīn jiā pō hái shì huí qù zǔ guó

在那个时候，我们的先辈必须做出人生中的重大抉择，要继续留在新加坡，还是回去祖国。

At that time, our ancestors had to make major choices in life, whether to stay in Singapore or return to the motherland.

zuì hòu tā men dà duō shù xuǎn zé liú zài xīn jiā pō bìng qiě hé qí tā zhǒng zú yī qǐ jiàn lì yī gè duō yuán zhǒng zú de shè huì hé dú lì de guó jiā

最后，他们大多数选择留在新加坡，并且和其他种族一起建立一个多元种族的社会和独立的国家

In the end, most of them chose to stay in Singapore and build a multi-racial society and an independent country with other races.

60年代，新加坡走向独立，华社组织也和政府合作，积极推动我国的社会和经济发展，以及国防建设。

In the 1960s, when Singapore moved towards independence, Chinese society organizations also cooperated with the government to actively promote my country's social and economic development and national defense construction.

在1967年，为了鼓励国人支持新推行的国民服役政策，新加坡中华总商会就为头两批入伍的青年制作了奖章。

In 1967, in order to encourage Chinese people to support the new national service policy, the Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce created medals for the first two groups of young people who enlisted in the army.

wǒ zhè lǐ yǒu yī méi

我这里有一枚。

I have one here.

1967的奖章，不是我的，因为我太年轻!

The 1967 medal is not mine, because I am too young!

shì zhōng huá zǒng shāng huì jiè lái zhǎng shēng

是中华总商会借来。 [掌声]

Borrowed by the Chinese General Chamber of Commerce. [applause]

kàn bù qīng chǔ yǒu tú yàng

看不清楚有图样。

There is a pattern clearly.

奖章的正面，有代表新加坡的五颗星星和一个月亮，以及“新加坡中华总商会”的字样，

On the front of the medal, there are five stars and a moon representing Singapore, and the words "Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce".

bèi miàn xiǎn shì de shì guó mín fú yì yǐ jí jǐn zhōng bào guó zhè sì gè zì

背面显示的是“national service”（国民服役），以及“尽忠报国”这四个字。

Shown on the back are the words "National Service" and the words "Serving the country loyally".

zhè gè jiǎng zhāng shì xiàn liàng bǎn de hěn yǒu jì niàn jià zhí

这个奖章是限量版的，很有纪念价值。

This medal is a limited edition, very commemorative value.

1968年，政府设立了国防基金，鼓励国人捐款支持国防建设。

In 1968, the government established a national defense fund to encourage people to make donations to support national defense.

dāng shí de chóu kuǎn mù biāo shì wàn yuán ér zhōng huá zǒng shāng huì jiù chóu dào chāo guò wàn yuán

当时的筹款目标是1000万元，而中华总商会就筹到超过100万元。

The fundraising goal at the time was 10 million yuan, and the Chinese Chamber of Commerce raised more than 1 million yuan.

zhè xiǎn shì běn dì huá rén cóng nà gè shí hòu yǐ jīng kāi shǐ bǎ tā men de xiào zhōng yì shí zhuǎn yí dào xīn jiā pō rèn tóng xīn jiā pō gōng mín de xīn shēn fèn

这显示，本地华人从那个时候，已经开始把他们的效忠意识转移到新加坡，认同新加坡公民的新身份。

This shows that since that time, local Chinese have begun to transfer their sense of allegiance to Singapore and identify with the new identity of Singaporean citizens.

yóu cǐ kě jiàn xīn jiā pō huá rén shì jīng guò le liǎng bǎi duō nián cái zhú jiàn xíng chéng zì jǐ de shēn fèn rèn tóng

由此可见，新加坡华人是经过了两百多年，才逐渐形成自己的身份认同。

This shows that it took more than two hundred years for the Chinese in Singapore to gradually form their own identity.

wǒ men de xiān bèi wèi zì jǐ de zǔ guó suǒ zuò chū de fèng xiàn yǔ xī shēng shì yī zhǒng gāo guì de qíng cāo yě shì zhí dé wǒ men zhēn xī de jīng shén yí chǎn

我们的先辈为自己的祖国所做出的奉献与牺牲，是一种高贵的情操，也是值得我们珍惜的精神遗产。

The dedication and sacrifice made by our ancestors for our motherland is a noble sentiment and a spiritual heritage worth cherishing.

wèi le jì niàn xiān bèi de shì jì wǒ men bǎ wǎn qíng yuán liè wèi guó jiā gǔ jì yě zài nà lǐ shù lì diāo xiàng jì niàn nán qiáo jī gōng

为了纪念先辈的事迹，我们把晚晴园列为国家古迹，也在那里竖立雕像纪念南侨机工。

In order to commemorate the deeds of our ancestors, we listed the Wanqing Garden as a national monument, and we also erected a statue there to commemorate the Nanqiao mechanic.

zhè gè shì wǒ men duō nián qián zuò de shì qíng

这个是我们10多年前做的事情。

This is what we did more than 10 years ago.

同样的，为了表达我们对二战时期死难人民的敬意，每年的2月15日，各族同胞也会一同出席庄严的悼念仪式，

Similarly, in order to express our respect for the people who died during World War II, compatriots of all ethnic groups will also attend a solemn memorial ceremony on February 15 each year.

jì niàn nà xiē zài zhàn zhēng zhōng xī shēng lái zì bù tóng zhǒng zú de wú gū lǎo bǎi xìng hé kàng zhàn yīng xióng

纪念那些在战争中牺牲，来自不同种族的无辜老百姓和抗战英雄。

To commemorate those innocent people from different races and heroes who died in the war.

日本占领新加坡的惨痛经历，激发了各个种族的国家意识，也坚定了我们要当家作主的决心。

The tragic experience of Japan's occupation of Singapore has inspired the national consciousness of all races and strengthened our determination to be the masters of the country.

mǎ lái hé yìn dù shè qún zài jiàn lì shēn fèn rèn tóng fāng miàn yě yǒu xiāng tóng de jīng lì

马来和印度社群在建立身份认同方面也有相同的经历。

The Malay and Indian communities have the same experience in establishing identity.

tā men gāng lái xīn jiā pō de shí hòu yě bǎ zì jǐ dāng zuò guò kè

他们刚来新加坡的时候，也把自己当作过客。

When they first came to Singapore, they also regarded themselves as tourists.

zài fǎn zhí mín dòu zhēng zhōng yìn dù rén shēn shòu yìn dù dú lì dòu zhēng de yǐng xiǎng mǎ lái rén zé shēn shòu yìn ní hé mǎ lái yà mín zú yùn dòng de yǐng xiǎng

在反殖民斗争中，印度人深受印度独立斗争的影响，马来人则深受印尼和马来亚民族运动的影响。

In the anti-colonial struggle, the Indians were deeply influenced by the struggle for independence in India, while the Malays were deeply influenced by the Indonesian and Malayan national movements.

dāng nián wǒ men zhēng qǔ tuō lí zhí mín dì tǒng zhì hào zhào qún zhòng de kǒu hào dú lì jiù lái zì yìn ní hé mǎ lái yà de zhèng zhì yùn dòng

当年我们争取脱离殖民地统治，号召群众的口号 – merdeka! （独立！）– 就来自印尼和马来亚的政治运动。

The slogan that we fought to escape from colonial rule – Merdeka! (Independence!) – came from political movements in Indonesia and Malaya.

jǐn guǎn dà jiā yǔ zǔ guó qí shí yīng gāi shuō yú gè zì de zǔ guó yǒu mì qiè de lián xì

尽管大家与祖国，其实应该说于各自的祖国有密切的联系，

Although everyone is in close contact with the motherland,

běn dì de mǎ lái rén yìn dù rén hé ōu yà yì rén zuì zhōng yě hé huá rén yī yàng xuǎn zé zài zhè lǐ luò dì shēng gēn

本地的马来人、印度人和欧亚裔人最终也和华人一样，选择在这里落地生根。

The local Malays, Indians and Eurasian people eventually chose to take root here just like the Chinese.

suǒ yǐ cóng luò yè guī gēn biàn chéng luò dì shēng gēn

所以从 “落叶归根” 变成 “落地生根”。

So from "fallen leaves return to roots" to "fallen roots".

zhú jiàn duì xīn jiā pō chǎn shēng rèn tóng

逐渐对新加坡产生认同。

Gradually identify with Singapore.

同样的，今天的新移民也需要一段时间，才会完全融入本地社会，认同与效忠新加坡。

Similarly, it will take some time for new immigrants today to fully integrate into the local society, identify with and loyal to Singapore.

zhè yě yǒu zhù yú wǒ men lǐ jiě dāng jīn de shì jiè jú shì yǐ jí xīn jiā pō zài guó jì wèn tí shàng de guān diǎn

这也有助于我们理解当今的世界局势，以及新加坡在国际问题上的观点。

This also helps us understand the current world situation and Singapore’s views on international issues.

两个大国的纠纷，使世界各国陷入一个困难的处境，大家都不想在中美之间选边站，新加坡也不例外。

The dispute between the two major powers has plunged countries around the world into a difficult situation. No one wants to choose between China and the United States, and Singapore is no exception.

因此，今晚我想谈一谈中美纠纷，以及它对新加坡的影响。

中国改革开放以来，发展迅速，晋升为世界第二大经济体。

Since China's reform and opening up, it has developed rapidly and has been promoted to the second largest economy in the world.

从各方面来看，中国的腾飞对中国本身乃至全世界，都带来了巨大好处，但这也产生了新的国际格局。

In all respects, China's take-off has brought tremendous benefits to China itself and the world, but it also created a new international pattern.

zuò wèi shì jiè tóu hào qiáng guó de měi guó bì xū róng nà yī gè gèng yǒu yǐng xiǎng lì de rì yì qiáng dà de zhōng guó

作为世界头号强国的美国，必须容纳一个更有影响力的、日益强大的中国。

As the world's number one power, the United States must accommodate a more influential and increasingly powerful China.

měi guó yě bì xū jiē shòu zǔ dǎng zhōng guó de jué qǐ shì bù kě néng de yě shì bù míng zhì de

美国也必须接受，阻挡中国的崛起，是不可能的，也是不明智的。

The United States must also accept that it is impossible and unwise to stop China's rise.

měi guó bì xū yǔ zhōng guó xún qiú jiàn shè xìng de guān xì yǐ jí zài jīng jì shàng hù xiāng yī cún de guān xì

美国必须与中国寻求建设性的关系，以及在经济上互相依存的关系。

The United States must seek a constructive relationship with China and an economically interdependent relationship.

chéng wèi yī gè shì jiè qiáng guó zhī hòu zhōng guó běn shēn yě yīng gāi shè shēn chù dì kǎo lǜ dào qí tā guó jiā de lì yì hé gǎn shòu

成为一个世界强国之后，中国本身也应该设身处地，考虑到其他国家的利益和感受。

After becoming a world power, China itself should also put itself in place, taking into account the interests and feelings of other countries.

zhè yàng zhōng guó cái néng hé shì jiè gè guó hé píng xiāng chù cái néng chéng wèi dà jiā yǎn zhōng yī gè kuān róng dà dù de guó jiā yǐ jí yī gè gòng móu fú lì de huǒ bàn

这样，中国才能和世界各国和平相处，才能成为大家眼中一个宽容大度的国家，以及一个共谋福利的伙伴。

Only in this way can China live in peace with other countries in the world and become a tolerant country in everyone's eyes and a partner for common welfare.

中美之间有竞争是必然的，但同时，双方也必须加强互信，并且通过适当的机制处理无可避免的摩擦。

Competition between China and the United States is inevitable, but at the same time, the two sides must also strengthen mutual trust and deal with the inevitable friction through appropriate mechanisms.

yí hàn de shì yě shì dān yōu de shì zhōng guó hé měi guó zhì jīn hái méi yǒu zhǎo dào huà jiě máo dùn de líng dān miào yào

遗憾的是， 也是担忧的是，中国和美国至今还没有找到化解矛盾的“灵丹妙药”。

Regrettably, but also worrying is that China and the United States have not yet found a "magic bullet" to resolve the conflict.

zhè yàng de jǐn zhāng guān xì zài duǎn qī nèi bù huì shū jiě zhè jiāng yǐng xiǎng zhěng gè shì jiè de gé jú

这样的紧张关系在短期内不会纾解 ，这将影响整个世界的格局。

如果我们支持中国，美国和其他国家可能会认为我们这么做，是因为在新加坡华人占多数，所以我们对中国有求必应。

If we support China, the United States and other countries may think that we do it because the Chinese in Singapore are the majority, so we are responsive to China.

lìng yī fāng miàn rú guǒ wǒ men zhī chí měi guó zhōng guó bù yī dìng huì lǐ jiě

另一方面，如果我们支持美国，中国不一定会理解。

On the other hand, if we support the United States, China will not necessarily understand.

过去，当新加坡与中国在某些课题上，采取不同立场的时候，

In the past, when Singapore and China took different positions on certain issues,

yǒu yī xiē zhōng guó péng yǒu jiù zhè yàng wèn wǒ men jì rán tóng wén tóng zōng tóng zǔ tóng yán tóng yǔ nà me nǐ men wèi shén me bù tóng yì

有一些中国朋友就这样问我们：“既然同文、同宗、同祖、同言、同语，那么你们为什么不同意？”

Some Chinese friends asked us this way: "Since the same text, the same clan, the same ancestor, the same language, and the same language, why don't you agree?"

zhè shì yī gè hěn wēi miào de wèn tí dàn yě shì yī gè hěn guān jiàn de wèn tí wǒ men bì xū lì chǎng fēn míng jiě shì qīng chǔ

这是一个很微妙的问题，但也是一个很关键的问题，我们必须立场分明，解释清楚。

This is a very delicate issue, but it is also a very critical issue. We must have a clear stand and explain clearly.

wǒ men de lì chǎng shì wǒ men bì xū yī jù yuán zé bàn shì bù néng shòu qíng gǎn zuǒ yòu

我们的立场是：我们必须依据原则办事，不能受情感左右。

Our position is: We must act according to principles and cannot be influenced by emotions.

不论对象是谁，无论是在新加坡、北京或华盛顿，我们所表达的观点都是一致的。

No matter who the target is, whether it is in Singapore, Beijing or Washington, our views are the same.

该同意的时候，我们会同意；不该同意的时候，我们就必须维持并解释我们的立场。

When it is time to agree, we will agree; when it should not, we must maintain and explain our position.

我们希望其他国家都清楚明白，新加坡是个多元种族的独立国家，有自己的立场。

We hope that other countries will clearly understand that Singapore is an independent multi-racial country with its own position.

dāng rán guó rén yě bì xū míng què le jiě xīn jiā pō de lì yì hé zhèng fǔ de kǎo liàng

当然，国人也必须明确了解新加坡的利益和政府的考量。

Of course, Malaysians must also clearly understand Singapore’s interests and government’s considerations.

除了影响国际关系，中美之间的紧张局势，也将对全球经济构成负面的影响。

In addition to affecting international relations, the tensions between China and the United States will also have a negative impact on the global economy.

zhè bù zhǐ huì dǎ luàn gōng yīng liàn yě huì shǐ tóu zī hé yán fā shòu dào xiàn zhì yǐ jí yǐng xiǎng mín jiān de jiāo liú

这不只会打乱供应链，也会使投资和研发受到限制，以及影响民间的交流。

This will not only disrupt the supply chain, but also restrict investment and research and development, and affect non-governmental communication.

让我举个例子说明，大家手中的智能手机是由许多零件组成，而这些零件又是在各个不同的国家设计、制造和组装成的。

Let me give an example to illustrate that the smartphone in your hand is composed of many parts, and these parts are designed, manufactured and assembled in various countries.

suǒ yǐ nǐ wèn shǒu jī shì shén me dì fāng zhì zuò de

所以你问，手机是什么地方制作的？

So you ask, where are the phones made?

qí shí shì zài xǔ xǔ duō duō guó jiā zhì zuò de

其实是在许许多多国家制作的。

It’s actually made in many countries.

píng guǒ shǒu jī shì zhè yàng huá wèi shǒu jī yě shì rú cǐ

苹果手机是这样，华为手机也是如此。

This is true for Apple mobile phones, and so is Huawei mobile phones.

但是，如果美国不允许自己的企业使用中国制造的零件，也不让它们售卖芯片给中国，

However, if the U.S. does not allow its own companies to use Chinese-made parts or sell chips to China,

nà zhōng měi qǐ yè jiù bì xū gè zì zhì zào zì jǐ de líng jiàn hé xīn piàn yán fā zì jǐ de zhì néng shǒu jī bìng kāi fā zì jǐ de diàn xìn xì tǒng

那中美企业就必须各自制造自己的零件和芯片，研发自己的智能手机，并开发自己的电信系统。

Then Chinese and American companies must each manufacture their own parts and chips, develop their own smart phones, and develop their own telecommunication systems.

zhè yàng yī lái wǒ men chū guó shí jiù bì xū xié dài hǎo jǐ bù shǒu jī

这样一来，我们出国时，就必须携带好几部手机，

In this way, when we go abroad, we have to carry several mobile phones,

就像几年前，我们去日本时，需要特别准备一部cdma网路的手机，因为新加坡当时使用的是gsm系统。

Just like a few years ago, when we went to Japan, we needed to prepare a mobile phone with a CDMA network because Singapore was using the GSM system.

在这样一个井水不犯河水，两个阵营各做各的世界里，我们仍然希望能够很方便的和所有的朋友沟通与联系。

In such a world where the well water does not violate the river water and the two camps do their own things, we still hope to be able to communicate and contact all our friends easily.

yīn cǐ wǒ men réng rán xī wàng néng gòu hé suǒ yǒu de guó jiā jì xù dǎ jiāo dào zuò péng yǒu

因此我们仍然希望能够和所有的国家继续打交道、做朋友。

Therefore, we still hope that we can continue to deal with and be friends with all countries.

suǒ yǐ zhè gè jiù chǎn shēng wǒ men zuì má fán de yī gè tóu tòng

所以，这个就产生我们最麻烦的一个头痛。

Therefore, this has caused our most troublesome headache.

nà jiù shì xīn jiā pō yīng gāi ān zhuāng nǎ yī zhǒng diàn xìn xì tǒng ne

那就是，新加坡应该安装哪一种电信系统呢？

That is, which telecommunications system should Singapore install?

měi guó de hái shì zhōng guó de

美国的，还是中国的？

American or Chinese?

因为中国肯定会开发自己的电信系统，他们绝对不会接受世界上只有一个系统。

Because China will definitely develop its own telecommunication system, they will never accept that there is only one system in the world.

xīn jiā pō shì yī gè xiǎo xíng hé kāi fàng de jīng jì tǐ quán qiú huà gěi wǒ men dài lái le jù dà de hǎo chù

新加坡是一个小型和开放的经济体，全球化给我们带来了巨大的好处。

Singapore is a small and open economy, and globalization has brought us great benefits.

如果中美彼此无法建立互信，世界继续分化，那新加坡的经济增长将受到拖累，前景会变得更加暗淡。

If China and the United States cannot establish mutual trust and the world continues to divide, Singapore’s economic growth will be dragged down and the prospects will become even more bleak.

很多以中国为主要市场的本地公司会受到冲击，而那些在中国设厂、出口货品到美国的新加坡公司也会遭殃。

Many local companies with China as their main market will suffer, and those Singapore companies that set up factories in China and export goods to the United States will also suffer.

yǒu xiē rén rèn wèi bù yuàn dào zhōng guó shè chǎng de wài guó gōng sī huì kǎo lǜ lái xīn jiā pō tóu zī dàn qíng kuàng bìng fēi rú cǐ

有些人认为，不愿到中国设厂的外国公司会考虑来新加坡投资，但情况并非如此。

Some people think that foreign companies that are unwilling to set up factories in China will consider investing in Singapore, but this is not the case.

yīn wèi zhè xiē wài guó gōng sī huì xuǎn zé dào chéng běn jiào dī de guó jiā huò zhě gèng kào jìn měi guó hé zhōng guó de dì fāng shè chǎng

因为这些外国公司会选择到成本较低的国家，或者更靠近美国和中国的地方设厂。

Because these foreign companies will choose lower-cost countries, or places closer to the United States and China to set up factories.

bǐ rú shuō zhì zào yī fú de gōng sī huì jiāng tā men de gōng chǎng bān dào yuè nán huò mèng jiā lā

比如说，制造衣服的公司会将他们的工厂搬到越南或孟加拉，

For example, companies that make clothes will move their factories to Vietnam or Bangladesh.

diàn zi chǎng kě néng huì bān dào mò xī gē ér zhì zào jiā jù de gōng chǎng huì bān dào fēi lǜ bīn

电子厂可能会搬到墨西哥，而制造家具的工厂会搬到菲律宾。

The electronics factory may move to Mexico, and the furniture manufacturing factory will move to the Philippines.

zhè xiē gōng sī shì bù huì xuǎn zé lái xīn jiā pō shè chǎng de

这些公司是不会选择来新加坡设厂的。

These companies would not choose to set up factories in Singapore.

总的来说，中美关系持续恶化，对世界来说不是一个好消息，对新加坡来说也不是一件好事。

In general, the continued deterioration of Sino-US relations is not good news for the world, nor is it good for Singapore.

zhōng měi zhī jiān de jǐn zhāng guān xì yǐ jīng dǎ jī le quán qiú xìn xīn

中美之间的紧张关系已经打击了全球信心，

The tensions between China and the United States have hit global confidence,

但是我所谈到的更深、更广的影响，我们还需要一段时间才能感受到。

But the deeper and broader impact I talked about will take some time to be felt.

尽管如此，我们必须现在就做好准备，让我国适应这个新的国际格局。

Nevertheless, we must prepare now to adapt our country to this new international situation.

今年，我们的经济已经显著放缓。

This year, our economy has slowed significantly.

zhè zhǔ yào shì yīn wèi guó jì xū qiú hé mào yì xià jiàng dǎ jī le běn dì zhì zào yè yǐ jí yǔ mào yì xiāng guān de fú wù

这主要是因为国际需求和贸易下降，打击了本地制造业以及与贸易相关的服务。

This is mainly because the decline in international demand and trade has hit the local manufacturing industry and trade-related services.

diàn zi yè zàn shí xià huá yǐng xiǎng le zhěng tǐ jīng jì biǎo xiàn yóu qí shì tóng diàn zi yè xiāng guān de xíng yè rú jīng mì gōng chéng hé pī fā mào yì

电子业暂时下滑，影响了整体经济表现，尤其是同电子业相关的行业，如精密工程和批发贸易。

The temporary decline in the electronics industry has affected the overall economic performance, especially in industries related to the electronics industry, such as precision engineering and wholesale trade.

líng shòu yè yě jì xù shòu dào wǎng shàng gòu wù dài lái de yā lì

零售业也继续受到网上购物带来的压力。

The retail industry also continues to be under pressure from online shopping.

幸好，到目前为止，其他领域没有受到冲击，裁员和失业率也保持在低的水平。

Fortunately, so far, other areas have not been affected, and layoffs and unemployment rates have also remained low.

zuì jìn wǒ hé zhí zǒng mì shū zhǎng huáng zhì míng yě hé gōng huì lǐng xiù tǎo lùn le zhè gè wèn tí

最近，我和职总秘书长黄志明也和工会领袖讨论了这个问题。

Recently, NTUC Secretary General Huang Zhiming and I also discussed this issue with union leaders.

他们说，工友虽然很担心自己的饭碗，但是幸好到目前为止，经济放缓还没有显著影响到工友的就业情况。

They said that although workers are very worried about their jobs, fortunately, the economic slowdown has not significantly affected the employment of workers so far.

suǒ yǐ wǒ men mù qián hái bù xū yào tuī chū cì jī jīng jì de pèi tào

所以，我们目前还不需要推出刺激经济的配套。

Therefore, we do not need to launch a package to stimulate the economy.

但是，如果情况恶化，我们当然会及时采取适当的应对措施，保住工友的饭碗。

However, if the situation worsens, we will of course take appropriate measures in time to preserve the jobs of our workers.

The government, like union leaders, is closely monitoring economic trends. We are ready.

过去，我们曾经多次面对经济衰退，这一次我们也有信心，能够沉着应对眼前的挑战。

In the past, we have faced economic recession many times, and this time we are confident that we can calmly deal with the challenges ahead.

Although the current environment is not favorable to us, don't forget that Singapore still has important advantages.

不用讲很远的地方，看看我们东南的地区，看看亚洲其他国家，其他地区，大家都知道是有差别的。

You don’t need to talk about far away places. Look at our southeast region, look at other countries in Asia, and other regions. Everyone knows that there are differences.

公司尤其赞赏新加坡经济发展局的规划与支持，所以纳斯特信任经发局、信任我们的员工、信任新加坡。

The company especially appreciates the planning and support of the Singapore Economic Development Board, so Nast trusts the Economic Development Board, trusts our employees, and trusts Singapore.

从这番话，我们可以看出，新加坡在投资者心目中确实享有很高的信誉。

From these words, we can see that Singapore does enjoy a high reputation in the eyes of investors.

In fact, the delicious chili crab has a lot of kung fu and a lot of business philosophy behind it.

珍宝餐饮集团就是以辣椒螃蟹起家的。

Jumbo Catering Group started with chili crabs.

zhēn bǎo néng qǔ dé jīn tiān de chéng jiù yīn wèi lǎo bǎn hé yuán gōng dōu hěn zhòng shì péi xùn

珍宝能取得今天的成就，因为老板和员工都很重视培训。

Jumbo can achieve what it is today because the boss and employees attach great importance to training.

现在，我们先看一段视频。

Now, let's watch a video first.

zhè shì liǎng nián qián zhì zuò de yī gè jié mù lǐ tóu shòu fǎng de chú shī huáng zǐ yáng

这是两年前制作的一个节目，里头受访的厨师黄紫扬，

This is a show made two years ago. The chef interviewed by Huang Ziyang,

所以珍宝不但辣椒螃蟹做得好，连员工的终身大事也照顾到。

Therefore, Jumbo not only does a good job of chili crabs, but also takes care of the employees' lifelong events.

各方面，请加油!

In all aspects, please come on!

珍宝对员工的栽培，让公司成功留住许多像种礼和紫扬这样的新加坡籍员工。

Jumbo’s cultivation of employees has allowed the company to successfully retain many Singaporean employees like Chang Li and Zi Yang.

duì yú yuán gōng liú shī lǜ hěn gāo de cān yǐn yè zhè shì fēi cháng nán dé de

对于员工流失率很高的餐饮业，这是非常难得的。

This is very rare for the catering industry with a high turnover rate.

hěn duō xīn jiā pō rén bù yuàn yì jiā rù cān yǐn yè jué dé gōng zuò xīn kǔ shí jiān yòu zhǎng

很多新加坡人不愿意加入餐饮业，觉得工作辛苦、时间又长。

Many Singaporeans are unwilling to join the catering industry because they feel that the work is hard and long.

但其实，如果餐饮业的工作环境能够改善，员工可以接受培训，公司也给他们发展的机会，

But in fact, if the working environment in the catering industry can be improved, employees can receive training, and the company will also give them opportunities for development.

nà zài cān yǐn yè gōng zuò yě shì gè bù cuò de xuǎn zé

那在餐饮业工作也是个不错的选择。

It is also a good choice to work in the catering industry.

zhēn bǎo de lǎo bǎn huáng jiàn míng zuì jìn yě yǐ shēn zuò zé qù shàng kè le

珍宝的老板黄建铭最近也以身作则，去“上课”了。

Huang Jianming, the owner of Jumbo, recently set an example and went to "class".

tā cān jiā le xīn jiā pō qǐ yè fā zhǎn jú tuī chū de qǐ yè téng fēi jì huà

他参加了新加坡企业发展局（enterprise singapore, esg）推出的“企业腾飞计划（scale-up sg）”。

He participated in the "Scale-Up SG" launched by Enterprise Singapore (ESG).

这是一项新的计划，协助有潜力的本地企业加速扩展，成为他们所在领域的佼佼者。

This is a new plan to assist potential local companies to accelerate their expansion and become a leader in their field.

如果把他们聚集起来，就可以为一个市镇提供完善的服务了！

If you gather them together, you can provide a complete service for a town!

在企发局的安排下，黄建铭和其他企业的老板和主管到了美国，参加了一项企业领导课程，获益不浅，

Under the arrangement of the Enterprise Development Bureau, Huang Jianming and other corporate bosses and supervisors went to the United States to participate in a business leadership course and benefited a lot.

yě xué dào le bù shǎo zhēn gōng fū

也学到了不少真功夫。

I also learned a lot of real skills.

tā men chéng wèi le péng yǒu yě cā chū le huǒ huā wǒ xī wàng zhè xiē huǒ huā huì diǎn rán gèng duō hé zuò de jī huì

他们成为了朋友，也擦出了火花，我希望这些火花会点燃更多合作的机会。

They have become friends and sparked. I hope these sparks will ignite more opportunities for cooperation.

除了这项计划，政府还有各种计划让大家来学习十八般武艺，欢迎老板和员工来参加。

In addition to this plan, the government has various plans for everyone to learn 18 martial arts, and bosses and employees are welcome to participate.

wǒ tán le zhēn bǎo de jīng yàn qí shí yǒu hǎo jǐ gè mù de

我谈了珍宝的经验，其实有好几个目的——

I talked about Jumbo’s experience, which actually has several purposes-

dì yī tí xǐng yuán gōng cān jiā péi xùn

第一，提醒员工参加培训；

First, remind employees to participate in training;

dì èr gǔ lì gōng sī jī jí zhuǎn xíng tí shēng yè wù zhǎn chì téng fēi tuò zhǎn hǎi wài

第二，鼓励公司积极转型、提升业务、展翅腾飞、拓展海外；

Second, encourage companies to actively transform, upgrade their business, spread their wings, and expand overseas;

dì sān gào sù gōng sī hé yuán gōng zhèng fǔ huì quán lì zhī chí nǐ men

第三，告诉公司和员工，政府会全力支持你们；

Third, tell the company and employees that the government will fully support you;

dì sì wèi cān yǐn yè dǎ guǎng gào xī wàng gèng duō rén kǎo lǜ jiā rù zhè gè xíng yè

第四，为餐饮业打广告，希望更多人考虑加入这个行业；

Fourth, advertise for the catering industry, and hope that more people will consider joining this industry;

zuì hòu dāng rán yě bù wàng jì gǔ lì nián qīng rén zǎo rì chéng jiā jié hūn shēng zi

最后，当然也不忘记鼓励年轻人早日成家，结婚生子。[

Finally, I certainly do not forget to encourage young people to get married and have children as soon as possible. [

孩子是很可爱的，多多益善。

Children are very cute, the more the better.

suǒ yǐ zhēn bǎo shì yī gè yī jiàn duō diāo de lì zi

所以，珍宝是一个“一箭多雕”的例子。

Therefore, Treasure is an example of "one arrow, multiple eagles".

qí shí yīng gāi shuō shì yī gè bāo luó wàn xiàng de lì zi yīn wèi zhǔn què de yīng yǔ fān yì shì

其实，应该说是一个包罗万象的例子，因为准确的英语翻译是“jumbo example”！

In fact, it should be said to be an all-encompassing example, because the accurate English translation is "Jumbo Example"!

jīn wǎn wǒ huā le yī xiē shí jiān zhuī sù wǒ guó de lì shǐ yě hé dà jiā fēn xiǎng wǒ duì shì jiè jú shì hé jīng jì xíng shì de kàn fǎ

今晚，我花了一些时间追溯我国的历史，也和大家分享我对世界局势和经济形势的看法。

Tonight, I spent some time tracing the history of our country and I also shared my views on the world situation and economic situation with you.

zhèng fǔ zhèng mì qiè guān zhù guó jì jú shì duì wǒ guó de yǐng xiǎng yǐ jí wǒ men jīng jì de zǒu xiàng

政府正密切关注国际局势对我国的影响，以及我们经济的走向。

The government is paying close attention to the impact of the international situation on our country and the direction of our economy.

世界各国和跨国公司对新加坡的高度信任，是我们的关键优势之一，也是我们宝贵的资产。

The high level of trust in Singapore from countries and multinational companies around the world is one of our key strengths and also our valuable asset.

wǒ men yīng gāi xiǎo xīn shǒu hù zhè fèn xìn rèn yī dài yòu yī dài de chuán xià qù

我们应该小心守护这份信任，一代又一代的传下去。

We should guard this trust carefully and pass it on from generation to generation.

zhè cái néng què bǎo xīn jiā pō néng gòu chí xù fán róng guó rén de shēng huó zhǎng jiǔ huò dé bǎo zhàng

这才能确保新加坡能够持续繁荣，国人的生活长久获得保障。

This will ensure that Singapore can continue to prosper and that the lives of its people will be guaranteed for a long time.

wǒ hěn dān xīn wèi lái de shí nián huì bǐ guò qù de shí nián yǒu gèng duō de wèi zhī shù

我很担心，未来的十年会比过去的十年，有更多的未知数，

I am very worried that the next ten years will have more unknowns than the past ten years.

jiù rú biàn huàn mò cè de tiān qì yī yàng yī xià zi yàn yáng gāo zhào yī xià zi wū yún mì bù

就如变幻莫测的天气一样，一下子艳阳高照，一下子乌云密布。

Just like the unpredictable weather, all of a sudden the sun was shining brightly, and all of a sudden it was clouded.

yīn cǐ wǒ men bì xū wèi jiāng lái zuò hǎo zhǔn bèi bǐng chí xiān bèi háo wú wèi jù lì zhēng shàng yóu de jīng shén qí xīn xié lì yī tóng kè fú kùn nán

因此，我们必须为将来做好准备，秉持先辈毫无畏惧、力争上游的精神，齐心协力，一同克服困难。

Therefore, we must prepare for the future, uphold the ancestors' undaunted and striving spirit, and work together to overcome difficulties together.

wǒ jiān xìn zhǐ yào zhèng fǔ hé rén mín tuán jié yī zhì xīn jiā pō rén jiù néng gòu xiǎng yǒu gèng hǎo de shēng huó

我坚信，只要政府和人民团结一致，新加坡人就能够享有更好的生活，

I firmly believe that as long as the government and people are united, Singaporeans can enjoy a better life.

xīn jiā pō yě néng gòu zài shì jiè wǔ tái shàng jì xù fā guāng fā liàng

新加坡也能够在世界舞台上继续发光发亮。

Singapore can also continue to shine on the world stage.
