请大家原谅，首先我要对全国人民讲几句话。

Before I take of your questions,please allow me to use this opportunity to first say a few words to people across the country.

感谢人民对我的信任，我是一个很普通的人。我出生在农村的一个教育世家。我的祖父、父亲和母亲都是教员。我的孩提时代是在战乱中度过的。战火烧毁了我的全家，包括爷爷亲手办得那座小学。旧中国的苦难在我幼小的心灵留下不可磨灭的印象。

I want to thank the Chinese people for the great trust you place on me. I am a very ordinary person. I come from a family of teachers in the countryside. My grandfather, my father and my mother were all teachers. And my childhood was spent in turmoil of war. Our home was literally burned down by the flames of war, and so was the primary school which my grandfather built with his own hands. The untold suffering in the days of old China left an indelible imprint on my tender mind.

我从在大学学地质到从事地质工作，整整25年。这期间大部分是在非常艰苦和恶劣的条件中度过的。我深知，人生的艰辛，也知道国家建设的艰难。但我也树立一种信心，一个人、一个民族、一个国家，只要不畏艰险，勇于攀登，一定能达到光辉的顶点。

Since becoming a university student majoring in geology, I spent a full 25 years working in the geological field. A good part of it was spent in very tough and harsh conditions. That experience let me know kemly how me how hard life could be and how demanding a job it was to build up our country. But more importantly, that experience filled me with confidence. I firmly believe that, be it a person, a nation or a country, so long as they dare to brave hardships and dangers and not drag fatiging climb, they will eventually reach the luminous summit.

我在中南海工作了18年，这是我们国家现代化建设十分重要的一个时期。我亲眼目睹了在邓小平同志和江泽民同志的领导下，中国改革开放和现代化建设所取得的巨大成就，中国面貌发生的历史性变化。中国的建设事业是非常伟大也非常艰巨的，惟有在党的领导下，坚持改革开放，走有中国特色社会主义道路，国家才能繁荣富强；惟有民主、科学负责任的精神才能实现我们的目标。全国2500个县区，我跑遍了1800个。这使我更深的了解了国情和人民的状况，我深知人民的期待，我绝不辜负人民的期望。一定要以人民给我的信心、勇气和力量，忠实地履行宪法赋予我的职责，殚精竭虑，鞠躬尽瘁，不负重望。

I have been working in Zhongnanhai (headquarters of the central government) for 18 years, which was an important period in China's reform, opening-up and modernization. I have seen with my own eyes under the leadership of comrades Deng Xiaoping and Jiang Zemin, China has made remarkable achievements in its reform and opening-up programmes and has undergone a historical transformation. China's development is a project that is extremely great and demanding. Only through reform, opening-up and building socialism with Chinese characteristics under the leadership of the Communist Party of China (CPC) can we succeed in bringing about a strong and prosperous China. And only by adhering to a democratic, scientific and responsible spirit can we achieve our objectives. I have been to 1,800 out of a total of 2,500 counties in China which enables me to better know our national conditions and our people's lives. I know what they expect and what their expectations are. I will live up to their trust and I will use the confidence, resolve and strength I have gained from the people to perform my solemn constitutional duties as premier. I will exert all my strength and wisdom. I will dedicate myself completely to the service of the country, and do everything possible to live up to the
people's expectation.
