It's a real pleasure and a privilege to be invited to close the China Britain Business Council's third annual China Business Conference. | 很荣幸被邀请参与英中贸易协会组织的第三届中国商务会议。 |
It's just over a week since I returned from China, having spent two fantastic days alongside His Royal Highness The Duke of Cambridge at the GREAT Festival of Creativity in Shanghai. | 一个多星期以前,我刚从中国回来,在上海创意英伦盛典上与剑桥公爵殿下度过了不可思议的两天。 |
I think everyone felt they had been part of something truly special. | 我想每一位参与者都感到自己体验了一场真正特殊的盛典。 |
The Duke described the Festival as making a statement that the UK is excited about partnering with China. | 公爵表示创意英伦盛典的举办说明英国非常愿意成为中国的合作伙伴。 |
You could feel the excitement in the air. | 你甚至能感觉到连空气中都夹杂着一丝兴奋。 |

UK creativity | 英国的创造力 |
This was the most incredible coming together of creative talent from Britain and China. | 能够将英国和中国具有创造性天赋的人才聚集到一起这是最不可思议的事情。 |
I know I wasn't alone in feeling immensely proud that Britain can boast such amazing imagination and innovation, not just in our creative industries but in all sectors of our economy. | 我知道我不是唯一一个为英国有神奇的想像力和创造力而感到自豪的人,这不仅仅表现在英国的创意产业,而且体现在英国各个行业。 |
I was equally struck by how many of our businesses said they themselves felt inspired by China's own incredible history and cultural heritage, and the sheer scale and dynamism of modern China. | 我很震惊许多英国企业表示他们被中国惊人的历史文化遗产中国现代化的经济规模和市场活力所鼓舞。 |
The GREAT Festival was living proof of something the UK and Chinese governments have believed for some time. | 创意英伦盛典是英国和中国政府共同打造。 |
Namely that as China continues its reform journey, our two economies are becoming more and more complementary. | 随着中国改革继续深化,两国的经济变得越来越为互补。 |
China's domestic market is becoming more competitive. Its companies are looking to move up the value chain and access new markets. | 中国国内市场的竞争变得越来越激烈。中国企业正在寻找机会提升价值链、开拓新市场。 |
The UK has the creative and innovative capabilities to help them succeed, and get access to new sources of investment and huge new markets in return. | 英国有创造性和创新能力帮助他们成功,作为回报英国能够获得新的投资来源和进入新兴市场的渠道。 |
The power of partnership | 合作伙伴的力量 |
As the GREAT Festival proved, this is generating a tremendous appetite on both sides to build new partnerships and collaborations to create something new together. | 正如创意英伦盛典证明的那样,有需求的双方一起建立新的合作伙伴关系,一起合作,一起创造出新的东西。 |
The breakthrough bilateral Film Co-production Treaty is a great example. | 具有突破性进展的两国《电影合作协议》就是一个很好的例子。 |
This will allow qualifying co-productions to access sources of finance and an easier distribution route to audiences. | 符合条件的两国联合制作影片可以从两国政府那里获得资金来源并且简化发行渠道和审核程序。 |
And all eligible co-productions will be able to be shown in China, meaning Chinese audiences will be able to enjoy many more British films than under the current quota system. | 所有符合条件的合拍影片都能够在中国播出,这就意味着中国观众能够观赏比当前英国电影配额制度下更多的英国电影。 |
Take Pinewood Studios, which is working with Wanda Group to develop their mega studios in Qingdao. | 英国头号制片公司松林制片厂(Pinewood Studios)正在同万达集团合作在青岛开发大型电影公司。 |

And we have Birmingham Airport partnering with Hainan Airlines and leading Chinese tour operator Caissa Touristic to launch 17 return Beijing-Birmingham flights this summer. | 伯明翰机场与海南航空公司与中国领先旅行社凯撒网(Caissa Touristic)合作在今年夏天将推出17次返回北京到伯明翰的航班。 |
This will add around £20 millionto Birmingham and the widerWest Midlands economy. | 这将会给伯明翰带来大约两千万镑的收入,并且会带动西米德兰兹郡的经济发展。 |
And just last week, we saw Thomas Cook form a strategic partnership with the Chinese conglomerate Fosun under which the two companies will invest in Thomas Cook's concept range of hotels and expand the offering to China. | 就在上周,我们看到托马斯·库克(Thomas Cook)与中国企业复星集团形成战略伙伴关系,两家公司将投资于托马斯·库克的概念酒店并且将在中国进行旅游投资。 |
This isn't just about the flow of money and supporting access to new markets, though that is hugely important. | 这不仅仅是有关资金流动以及进入新市场的资金支持。 |
It is about the flow of technology, of ideas, and of people. | 它同技术、创意和人员分不开。 |
Sharing the best of ourselves, inspiring and being inspired by each other is what will underpin and shape our relationship with China in the years ahead. | 在未来的日子里,分享双方最好的资源,互相激励、互相启发,这将会有利于巩固我们与中国的关系。 |
