Now lets begin. 1 【正确答案】 副总理先生、财政部长先生， 市长先生，女士们，先生们： 首先，请允许我代表在座的各位，感谢副总理先生、部长先生、市长先生，感谢你们为本次会议成功举办所付出的努力。这是一次组织非常出色的会议，而且我们在上海受到了最热烈的欢迎，请大家同我一起向他们表示感谢。 我主要谈两点 。 第一点是，我们要从政治上确保贫困以及扶贫是全球工作的核心内容。我相信目前还没有做到这一点，目前我们
17、仍是口头上讨论贫困问题。而当前世界真正关心的问题是恐怖主义、伊拉克、阿富汗、财政赤字等，这些都是急于要解决的实实在在的问题。但同样无法回避的、同样危险的贫困问题却不怎么受关注。 我们必须要解决社会平等和社会公正的问题，因为解决不了贫困问题，就没有和平。现在 9千亿美元用于军事支出， 3千亿美元用于农业补贴， 500亿到 600亿美元用于境外开发援助，这些都是需要我们改变的错误做法。 第 二点也是最后一点我想说的是，我们讨论过经济，也讨论过为实现社会公正必须要取得的进步，还讨论过为实现赋权而采取的手段和为加大力度可以使用的方法。 但是，有一点我们没有讨论过，而且我认为我们都应该认识到的是，如果我
18、们想有效地宣传减少贫困，更乐观地说是消除贫困，我们就必须要坚信自己所做的一切都是正确的事情。我们解决贫困问题不应仅仅出于经济的考虑，而是因为解决社会公平和公正问题是一项正义的事业。 我们可以毫不掩饰地说自己所从事的工作包括人的因素，还有一种道义的因素，或者说精神的因素在里面。我们不 是作为经济学家到这里来的，我们到这里来是因为我们应该给世界上每个人一个把握命运的机会。 因此，我希望从这里走出去以后，大家感觉多一点振奋，多一点责任感，加强扶贫工作的力度。因为这是一项正义的事业，而且作为人类的一员，这也是我们应该做的。 非常感谢会议主办方，也感谢各位的光临。 二、 PART 2 Chinese-E
