    英语新闻丨辛芷蕾获威尼斯国际电影节最佳女演员奖

    Chinese star Xin Zhilei won the Best Actress award at the 82nd Venice International Film Festival on Saturday, becoming the second actress from the Chinese mainland to receive the honor, more than three decades after Gong Li's historic win in 1992. 当地时间周六,中国演员辛芷蕾在第82 届威尼斯国际电影节上斩获最佳女演员奖,成为继 1992 年巩俐历史性获奖后,第二位摘得该荣誉的中国内地女演员。 With her vivid portrayal of a woman trapped in a love triangle in the arthouse flick The Sun Rises on Us All, Xin received the Volpi Cup for Best Actress from Zhao Tao, also a famous Chinese actress who served as one of this year's international jurors. 在影片《日掛中天》中,辛芷蕾生动演绎了一位深陷情感纠葛的女性角色。这部艺术电影的颁奖环节,由本届电影节国际评审团成员、中国知名演员赵涛为辛芷蕾颁发了最佳女演员沃尔皮杯。 Directed by Cai Shangjun, who is regarded as a leading figure in Chinese neo-noir cinema, the film — shot in multiple cities across South China's Guangdong province — tells the story of two former lovers who reunite after seven years, only to find their encounter ending in tragedy at the hands of an inescapable fate. 《日掛中天》由中国新黑色电影代表导演蔡尚君执导,取景于中国南方广东省多个城市。影片讲述了一对昔日恋人时隔七年重逢,却在命运的捉弄下,最终以悲剧收场的故事。 Overcome with joy, Xin, the 39-year-old actress, tearfully said in her acceptance speech: "This feels like a dream. Over a decade ago, when I first started in the film industry, I made a bold claim — I wanted to become an international superstar on a world-class stage. Back then, I faced a lot of ridicule." 39 岁的辛芷蕾在领奖时难掩激动,含泪发表获奖感言:“这感觉像一场梦。十几年前刚进入电影行业时,我曾大胆立下目标 —— 要在世界级舞台上成为国际巨星。那时,我遭到了不少嘲讽。” Having begun her showbiz career in 2005, the actress overcame many difficulties to stand on the award stage in Venice, one of the three most prestigious film festivals in Europe. She said she felt proud of herself and encouraged all women by saying: "If you have a dream, dare to dream big and dare to go for it. Who knows — one day it might just come true, just like it did for me." 辛芷蕾于2005 年开启演艺生涯,历经诸多挑战,最终站上了欧洲三大顶级电影节之一 —— 威尼斯国际电影节的领奖台。她表示,为自己感到骄傲,同时鼓励所有女性:“只要心怀梦想,就大胆去畅想、勇敢去追逐。说不定有一天,梦想就会像我这样,照进现实。” The film's title is inspired by a line from a Cantonese Opera, which is based on a script by Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) playwright Tang Xianzu. The original work depicts a tragic romance between a poet and a young woman during the Tang Dynasty (618-907). 该片片名灵感源自一部粤剧的台词,而这部粤剧改编自明代(1368-1644 年)戏曲家汤显祖的剧本。原著讲述了唐代(618-907 年)一位诗人与一名女子之间的悲情爱情故事。 Xin revealed she was captivated by her character — an ordinary person striving to overcome a painful past and build a better life. She explained that the character is difficult to define as simply "good" or "bad", and that audiences may find her choices challenging to understand. 辛芷蕾透露,自己被所饰演的角色深深吸引—— 这个普通人物努力摆脱痛苦过往、追寻美好生活的经历极具感染力。她解释道,这个角色难以简单用 “好” 或 “坏” 来定义,观众或许会对角色的选择感到费解。 Recounted through a delicate and nuanced narrative, the film focuses not on a dramatic plotline, but on the inner emotional journey of a woman grappling with her own tsunami-like feelings, added Xin. 辛芷蕾补充说,影片采用细腻入微的叙事手法,并未侧重紧张刺激的剧情,而是聚焦于女性角色的内心情感历程,展现她如何应对汹涌如潮的复杂情绪。 According to her agency, filming in Guangdong was challenging due to the humid temperatures, which frequently left Xin's costume and hair drenched. Despite this, she gave her best performance in every scene. 据辛芷蕾所属经纪公司介绍,影片在广东拍摄期间,当地潮湿的气候给拍摄带来不小挑战,辛芷蕾的戏服和头发常常被汗水浸湿。即便如此,她在每一场戏中都展现出最佳状态。 A native of Northeast China's Heilongjiang province, Xin first earned international recognition for the 2016 Chinese film Crosscurrent, which won the Silver Bear for Outstanding Artistic Contribution for Cinematography at the 66th Berlin International Film Festival. Her most popular roles include an emperor's favored concubine in the hit costume drama Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace (2018) and a mysterious restaurant operator in Hong Kong auteur Wong Kar-wai's directorial TV debut Blossoms Shanghai (2023). 辛芷蕾籍贯为中国东北黑龙江省。2016 年,她凭借中国电影《长江图》首次获得国际关注,该片曾在第 66 届柏林国际电影节上荣获杰出艺术贡献银熊奖(摄影奖)。她的代表作还包括 2018 年热门古装剧《如懿传》中饰演的皇帝宠妃,以及 2023 年香港导演王家卫首部电视剧《繁花》中塑造的神秘餐厅经营者。 In an earlier interview, director Cai recalled that because the film is told from a woman's perspective, it placed particularly high demands on casting the female lead. After an initial struggle — having reached out to around 20 actresses and 10 actors for the two leading roles — Cai finally chose Xin, with the recommendation from his wife and co-writer, Han Nianjin, who saw Xin on a variety show and was impressed by her natural, easygoing and decisive temperament. 导演蔡尚君在早前采访中回忆,由于影片以女性视角展开叙事,对女主角的选角要求极高。起初,为男女主角两个核心角色,剧组接触了约20 位女演员和 10 位男演员,选角工作一度陷入困境。最终,在妻子兼联合编剧韩念瑾的推荐下,蔡尚君确定由辛芷蕾出演。韩念瑾此前在一档综艺节目中关注到辛芷蕾,被她自然随性、果断干练的气质所打动。 Cai said that China's film industry has undergone a significant transformation in recent years, challenged by a shrinking box office, as well as the unprecedented expansion of short videos and micro-dramas. In this climate, an enduring event like the Venice International Film Festival becomes a cherished destination for artists, he added. 蔡尚君表示,近年来中国电影行业经历了显著变革,不仅面临票房下滑的压力,还受到短视频和微短剧爆发式发展带来的冲击。他认为,在此背景下,威尼斯国际电影节这样具有持久影响力的国际影展,成为了电影人珍视的展示平台。

    Editorial丨Peace or war that is the question

    As philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein observed, "The limits of my language mean the limits of my world." Words do not merely describe reality — they shape it. The United States is now offering its own example of this.On Friday, the US president signed an executive order restoring the historical title "Department of War" to the Pentagon. Even though Congress has yet to approve it to make the renaming permanent, the symbolism is powerful, revealing a shift in how Washington wishes to present itself to the world.The US changed the name of its War Department to the Department of Defense in 1949 after World War II and at the dawn of the nuclear age. At that time, the US lawmakers emphasized "defense" to signal restraint and deterrence, as new international institutions such as the United Nations were being established to safeguard peace. That choice of words carried weight. It underscored that military power was to be exercised with caution and with the aim of preventing conflict.The latest reversal, however, highlights a different mood in Washington. Supporters of the change argue that the original name reflects the US' history of strength and victory, pointing back to the world wars. Yet behind this rhetoric lies a message aligned with a more assertive and transactional view of security. The move fits into a wider policy pattern: the use of force in the Middle East, backing military offensives by allies, and calls for partners in Europe and Asia to assume greater financial burdens for US protection.Domestically, the decision has understandably provoked debate, if not strong opposition. Democrats in Congress quickly voiced their objections, calling the move "childish" or "dangerous". Think tanks and historians have also raised concerns that reintroducing the "Department of War" label risks undermining the US' "moral standing", particularly given the lessons of the nuclear age. Even among the public, the debate reflects fatigue with military campaigns abroad. Many Americans, after two decades of costly wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, fear that glorifying "war" rather than "defense" could mark a return to open-ended conflicts.In a survey carried out by CGTN among 14,071 respondents from 38 countries from 2023 to 2024, 61.3 percent of the respondents believed that the US is the most combative country in the world, and 70.1 percent thought that the US waging wars abroad has caused serious humanitarian crises worldwide.Allies are equally attentive. European governments, already unsettled by Washington's imposition of unilateral tariffs and its calls for higher defense spending, now face the additional challenge of explaining to the public why they should rally behind a "Department of War" of the US. And for the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, which has long presented itself as a defensive alliance, the optics of following a country that openly embraces the rhetoric of war may prove problematic.In Asia, too, US partners are watching closely. Some may fear that Washington is signaling a readiness to escalate conflicts in the region, while others may interpret the move as a prelude to shifting US resources inward. Reports that the Pentagon is drafting a new strategy, possibly downgrading the focus on the "Indo-Pacific" while prioritizing the Western Hemisphere and homeland security, will only add to the uncertainty, particularly among the US' regional pawns, such as the Philippines. If the allies and partners of the US sense that Washington is more aggressive in tone and less reliable in commitment, confidence in the US alliance system may weaken further. History offers perspective. The change of name from "War" to "Defense" was not mere semantics. It reflected a determination that in the nuclear age, stability depended on restraint, multilateral cooperation and an emphasis on peace. In today's uncertain world, that lesson remains valid. At a time when conflicts in Europe and the Middle East continue, and when the global community faces transnational challenges from climate change to public health, what is most needed is dialogue, coordination and restraint, not signals of confrontation.Language matters. The words governments choose shape perceptions, expectations and policy paths. The international community should therefore pay close attention to the implications of this renaming. It is a reminder that the US, as the world's largest military power, carries a special responsibility to lead not toward war, but toward peace. Only by upholding this responsibility can Washington, by giving the right answer to the fundamental question of war or peace, truly contribute to the common aspiration of all nations: a world defined not by conflict, but by peace and development.

    英语新闻丨美媒:特朗普将恢复国防部旧称“战争部”

    US President Donald Trump is reportedly preparing to sign an executive order on Friday to rebrand the Department of Defense as the Department of War. 据美国媒体报道,总统唐纳德・特朗普计划于周五签署一项行政令,将美国国防部重新命名为“战争部”。 The order would allow the name to be used as a secondary title in official correspondence, with references such as "Secretary of War", reported local media outlets.A full legal change would still require congressional approval. 报道指出,该行政令将允许“战争部” 作为官方文书中的次要名称使用,相关称谓如 “战争部长” 也将随之启用。不过,这一名称的全面法律变更仍需获得美国国会批准。 Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth had argued the revival underscores a stronger "warrior ethos". Critics warned it could incur high costs and distract from security priorities. 此前,特朗普与国防部长皮特・赫格塞斯曾声称,恢复“战争部” 这一旧称,意在彰显更强的 “战士精神”。但批评人士警告,此举可能产生高额成本,还会分散对国家安全重点事务的关注。 "Defense is too defensive," Trump said last month. "And we want to be defensive, but we want to be offensive too if we have to be. So, it just sounded to me like a better name." 特朗普上月曾表示:“‘国防’一词过于偏向防御性。我们固然希望做好防御,但在必要时也需要具备进攻能力。因此,在我看来,‘战争部’是个更合适的名称。” The Department of War, created in 1789, directed the US Army and oversaw America's military through both World Wars before being consolidated into the Department of Defense in 1949. 历史资料显示,“战争部” 成立于 1789 年,曾负责指挥美国陆军,并在两次世界大战期间主管美国军事事务。1949 年,该部门被整合重组,更名为 “国防部” 并沿用至今。

    英语新闻丨日本首相石破茂宣布辞职

    Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba announced on Sunday that he will step down as the head of the Liberal Democratic Party, amid growing calls for him to take responsibility for the party-led ruling coalition's election setback in both houses of parliament. 日本首相石破茂于周日宣布,将辞去自民党总裁一职。此前,因自民党主导的执政联盟在国会参众两院选举中遭遇挫折,要求其承担责任的呼声日益高涨。 Addressing a news conference at the prime minister's office in Tokyo, Ishiba said he has "made the painful decision to resign despite still having unfinished tasks", emphasizing that the LDP must undergo genuine renewal and remain a tolerant and inclusive force. 在东京首相官邸举行的记者会上,石破茂表示,尽管仍有未竟之事,但他已“做出辞职这一艰难决定”。他强调,自民党必须实现真正的革新,始终保持包容开放的姿态。 He added that he would not stand as a candidate in the expected LDP leadership election triggered by his resignation. 他还补充称,在其辞职后预计将举行的自民党总裁选举中,自己不会作为候选人参选。 Ishiba's announcement came a day before the LDP was scheduled to decide whether to hold an early party leadership election, which would essentially be demanding his resignation, according to Japanese media platform Nikkei Asia. 据日本媒体《日经亚洲评论》报道,自民党原计划于次日就是否提前举行总裁选举作出决定,而这一选举本质上等同于要求石破茂辞职。此次石破茂宣布辞职,恰在该计划之前。 It also followed a formal agreement reached on Thursday with the administration of United States President Donald Trump on 15 percent reciprocal tariffs on Japanese exports to the US. 此外,就在此前的周四,日本政府与美国前总统唐纳德・特朗普政府就日本输美商品相互征收15%关税达成正式协议,石破茂此次辞职也发生在这一背景之下。 At Sunday's news conference, Ishiba said he had long considered tariff negotiations with the US a responsibility of his administration. With the signing of a memorandum of understanding last week, Ishiba said the negotiations reached a milestone, which made him decide to make way for his successor. 在周日的记者会上,石破茂表示,长期以来,他一直将与美国的关税谈判视为本届政府的重要职责。他指出,上周双方签署相关谅解备忘录,标志着谈判取得阶段性成果,这也促使他决定为继任者让路。 In September 2024, Ishiba was elected president of the LDP for a term of three years. In October last year, the LDP and its junior coalition partner, the Komeito, lost their majority in the House of Representatives, the lower house of the National Diet of Japan. In July this year, the ruling coalition also lost its majority in the House of Councillors, or the upper house. 2024年9月,石破茂当选自民党总裁,任期为三年。去年10月,自民党与其执政联盟伙伴公明党在日本国会众议院(下议院)选举中失去多数席位;今年7月,该执政联盟又在国会参议院(上议院)选举中丧失多数优势。 In postwar Japan, the head of the LDP — the country's dominant political force since the party's founding in 1955 — has almost always become the prime minister, because the party commands the largest share of seats in the Diet. When an LDP president resigns or is replaced, the post of prime minister typically changes hands as well. 在战后日本政治格局中,自民党自1955年成立以来一直是日本政坛的主导力量。由于该党在国会中占据最多席位,自民党总裁几乎始终能出任日本首相。因此,当自民党总裁辞职或被替换时,日本首相职位通常也会随之更迭。 According to the LDP's rules, a new leadership election can be held before the incumbent president's term expires. A majority of LDP members in the Diet and a majority of representatives in the LDP's prefectural branches can jointly request an election for a new president. 根据自民党党章规定,在现任总裁任期届满前,可提前举行总裁选举。只要自民党在国会中的议员多数与该党都道府县支部代表多数联合提出申请,即可启动新总裁选举程序。 Following Ishiba's formal resignation announcement, the LDP is expected to hold an extraordinary executive meeting on Monday morning, at which it will likely decide to cancel the submission of documents for an early party leadership election, according to TBS News, a commercial broadcasting company based in Tokyo. 据东京商业广播公司TBS新闻报道,在石破茂正式宣布辞职后,自民党预计将在周一上午召开临时执行会议,会上可能会决定不再提交提前举行总裁选举的相关文件。 The Associated Press reported that the LDP is expected to set a date for a party leadership election, likely to be held in early October. 另据美联社报道,自民党有望确定总裁选举的具体日期,选举大概率将于10月初举行。

    英语新闻丨Taiwan compatriots feel shared strength

    People from Taiwan said they felt a shared sense of pride in the nation's strength and prosperity as they watched the Chinese mainland's V-Day parade both online and in person on Wednesday. 来自台湾的民众表示,周三他们通过线上或线下的方式观看了中国大陆的胜利日阅兵,感受到了对国家实力与繁荣的共同自豪感。 "As Taiwan compatriots, our confidence in development stems from the strength of the motherland," said Lin Yen-chen, a Taiwan student who attended the military parade in Beijing commemorating the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War. 在北京参加了纪念中国人民抗日战争暨世界反法西斯战争胜利80周年阅兵式的台湾学生林彦辰表示:“作为台湾同胞,我们对发展的信心源自祖国的强大。” Reflecting on the event, Lin said the 14-year resistance highlighted the true meaning of patriotism and national spirit through the sacrifices of countless martyrs. 回顾此次盛典,林彦辰表示,十四年的抗战中无数先烈的牺牲彰显了爱国主义和民族精神的真谛。 "In this great era, we, Taiwan compatriots, must firmly stand on the right side of history and actively contribute to the advancement of national reunification and rejuvenation," he said. 他说:“在这个伟大的时代,我们台湾同胞必须坚定地站在历史正确的一边,积极为国家统一和民族复兴贡献力量。” Yuann Jeu-jeng, a professor from Taiwan University, expressed his excitement on social media after watching the parade in Tian'anmen Square. "The military parade aims to promote peace, and China always stands on the side of justice," he wrote. 台湾大学教授苑举正在天安门广场观看阅兵后,在社交媒体上表达了他的激动心情。他写道:“此次阅兵旨在弘扬和平,中国始终站在正义的一边。” In Xiamen, Fujian province, more than 150 Taiwan compatriots gathered to watch the live broadcast of the parade. Cheng Chun-yuan, who brought his mother and children to watch the broadcast, said, "We feel the strength of our nation and the powerful development of our motherland, which made our family feel extremely proud." 在福建省厦门市,超过150名台湾同胞齐聚一堂观看阅兵直播。带着母亲和孩子一同观看直播的郑纯媛说:“我们感受到了国家的力量和祖国的蓬勃发展,这让我们全家感到无比自豪。 On Thursday, Wang Huning, a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, met with Taiwan representatives attending the V-Day commemoration in Beijing. 周四,中共中央政治局常委、全国政协主席王沪宁在北京会见了前来参加胜利日纪念活动的台湾代表。 Wang stressed the importance of remembering the history of national resistance, upholding the one-China principle and the 1992 Consensus, and jointly opposing separatist efforts toward "Taiwan independence" as well as external interference. 王沪宁强调要铭记全民族抗战历史,坚持一个中国原则和“九二共识”,共同反对“台独”分裂行径和外部势力干涉。 Across the Strait, high viewership of the V-Day parade underscored enthusiasm for the commemoration. Various channels on the island broadcast the event live. 在台湾,胜利日阅兵的高收视率体现了民众对纪念活动的热情高涨。岛内多个频道对活动进行了直播。 Hung Hsiu-chu, former chairperson of the Chinese Kuomintang who was invited to attend the commemorations in Beijing, said Tuesday on social media: "If the DPP insists on using intimidation to prevent people from participating in the commemoration, it not only reveals their insecurity but also further alienates the sentiments of the Taiwan public regarding the history of the war of resistance. 应邀参加北京纪念活动的中国国民党前主席洪秀柱周二在社交媒体上表示:“如果民进党坚持用恐吓手段阻挠人们参与纪念活动,不仅暴露了他们的不安,也进一步疏远了台湾民众对抗战历史的情感。 "This is a national memory that must be passed down through generations," she said. 她说:“这是必须代代相传的民族记忆。” Taiwan leader Lai Ching-te made remarks about the mainland's parade on Wednesday, saying "Taiwan does not commemorate peace with guns." 台湾地区领导人赖清德周三就大陆阅兵发表言论,称“台湾不会用枪炮来纪念和平”。 Lai also avoided directly mentioning Japanese aggression and China's victory in the war of resistance, instead twice referring to the events simply as the "end of World War II". 赖清德还避谈日本侵略和中国在抗战中的胜利,仅以“二战结束”两次指代相关历史事件。 In response, Chen Binhua, a spokesman for the State Council Taiwan Affairs Office, criticized Lai on Thursday for remarks he said "glorified aggression and incited division" on a day meant to honor the pride and dignity of Chinese people worldwide. 对此,国务院台办发言人陈斌华周四批评赖清德的言论,称其在全球华人纪念民族自豪与尊严的日子里,“美化侵略,煽动分裂”。 "Lai's comments completely disregard the arduous and heroic struggle waged by the Chinese people both domestically and abroad to save the nation from peril, ignoring the great history forged by the blood and lives of the Chinese people for national independence and liberation," Chen said. 陈斌华说:“赖清德言论完全无视海内外中华儿女为挽救民族危亡所进行的艰苦卓绝、可歌可泣的斗争,完全抹煞台湾同胞在这场全民族抗战中作出的重要贡献,是对中国人民用鲜血和生命争取民族独立和解放这一伟大历史的极不尊重。” prosperity n.繁荣 /prɒˈsperəti/ martyrs n.烈士 / ˈmɑːtəz / rejuvenation n.更新;复苏;复兴 / rɪˌdʒuːvɪˈneɪʃən /

    英语新闻丨胜利日阅兵获各国领导人高度评价

    Impressive, meaningful and historic — such were the keywords used by global leaders as they marveled at China's military parade commemorating the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression (1931-45) and the World Anti-Fascist War. “令人印象深刻、富有意义且具有历史意义”——这是各国领导人在赞叹中国纪念中国人民抗日战争(1931-1945年)暨世界反法西斯战争胜利80周年阅兵仪式时,所使用的关键词。 President Xi Jinping was joined by 26 foreign heads of state and government, as well as parliamentary speakers, deputy prime ministers and high-level representatives from different countries, on Wednesday as he oversaw a parade that showcased a range of China's new military hardware. 周三,习近平主席同26位外国国家元首、政府首脑以及各国议会领导人、副总理和高级代表一道,出席阅兵观礼。此次阅兵展示了中国一系列新型军事装备。 For the global leaders, the experience at the Tian'anmen Rostrum, where they witnessed the commemoration firsthand, was both awe-inspiring and thought-provoking. 对于各国领导人而言,在天安门城楼亲身体验这场纪念活动,亲眼见证阅兵全过程,既令人心潮澎湃,也引人深思。 According to a report by Russia's state news agency TASS, Russian President Vladimir Putin described Beijing's commemorative events as "held brilliantly, and simply very well, at a high level". 据俄罗斯国家通讯社塔斯社报道,俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔・普京称北京的纪念活动“举办得非常出色,水准极高,令人赞叹”。 Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto, writing on his X account, highlighted that the commemoration "serves as a symbol of China's strength and courage as a nation steadfastly fighting for independence, safeguarding sovereignty, and actively playing a role in realizing world peace". 印度尼西亚总统普拉博沃・苏比安托在其X平台账号上发文指出,此次纪念活动“是中国作为一个国家的力量与勇气的象征——中国坚定争取独立、维护主权,并积极为实现世界和平发挥作用”。 "On this occasion, I conveyed my appreciation for the significant contributions of the People's Republic of China in maintaining global security," he wrote on Thursday, adding, "Upholding the spirit of the Victory Day, let us continue to strengthen the sustainable cooperation between Indonesia and China for the benefit of both countries." “值此之际,我对中华人民共和国在维护全球安全方面所作出的重大贡献表示赞赏。”他于周四写道,并补充道,“让我们秉持胜利日精神,继续加强印度尼西亚与中国之间的可持续合作,以造福两国人民。” The press service of Uzbek President Shavkat Mirziyoyev wrote in a post on X that the event reaffirmed Uzbekistan's foreign policy commitment to "fostering friendship and constructive dialogue for peace, sustainable development and prosperity". 乌兹别克斯坦总统沙夫卡特・米尔济约耶夫的新闻办公室在X平台的一篇帖子中表示,此次活动再次彰显了乌兹别克斯坦在外交政策上的承诺,即“为实现和平、可持续发展与繁荣,推动友好关系与建设性对话”。 In a bilateral meeting with Xi on Thursday, Zimbabwean President Emmerson Mnangagwa extended congratulations to China for hosting a "spectacular parade", saying the event was "something out of this world". 在周四与习近平的双边会晤中,津巴布韦总统埃默森·姆南加古瓦就中国举办一场“壮观的阅兵式”向中国表示祝贺,称该活动“超凡脱俗”。 "Undoubtedly, the commemorations will go a long way to promote the correct historical narrative of China's great contribution to World War II. The spirit of resilience of the Chinese people and their ironclad strength will remain a source of inspiration for generations to come," Mnangagwa said. “毫无疑问,此次纪念活动将极大地推动人们正确认识中国在二战中所作出的重大贡献这一历史事实。中国人民坚韧不拔的精神及其坚不可摧的力量,将继续成为激励世世代代的精神源泉。”姆南加古瓦表示。 In a video posted on his account on X, Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico said that while some people interpreted the parade as a demonstration of China's military strength, he believes the event should "be viewed in the context of the serious statements made by Chinese President Xi Jinping". 斯洛伐克总理罗伯特・菲科在其X账号发布的一段视频中表示,虽然有些人将此次阅兵解读为中国军事实力的展示,但他认为应该“从中国国家主席习近平发表的重要讲话这一背景下去看待”此次活动。 "The Chinese president made it very clear that the world is facing a choice between peace and war, and that China has the will to play a decisive role in shaping the new peaceful order of the world," he said. “中国国家主席明确表示,当今世界正面临和平与战争的选择,而中国有意愿在构建世界新和平秩序中发挥决定性作用。”他说道。 "I once again express my regret that the top representatives of the EU member states were absent from such a global event," Fico said. "If they thought that by doing so they would isolate China's celebrations of victory in World War II, they badly miscalculated." “对于欧盟成员国最高代表缺席这一全球性活动,我再次表示遗憾。”菲佐表示,“如果他们认为此举能孤立中国的二战胜利纪念活动,那他们就大错特错了。” Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said it was an honor for him and his wife to view the event from the Tian'anmen Rostrum, adding that he thanks the Chinese president for "this meaningful and historic experience". 马来西亚总理安华・易卜拉欣表示,能与夫人在天安门城楼观看此次活动,对他而言是一份荣幸。他还补充道,感谢中国国家主席给予他“这段富有意义且具有历史意义的经历”。 "Beyond the impressive display of China's military assets, the parade stood as a powerful symbol of resistance against tyranny, oppression, aggression, greed for power, colonialism and imperialism — dark chapters in the history of human civilization," he said. 他表示:“除了中国令人印象深刻的军事装备展示外,此次阅兵更是反抗暴政、压迫、侵略、权力贪欲、殖民主义与帝国主义的有力象征——这些都是人类文明史上的黑暗篇章。” "Yet, eight decades after the war's end, the world continues to face injustices and atrocities that unfold openly, often without challenge from major powers who speak loudly of democracy and human rights. True peace demands courage and firm conviction to reject injustice in all its forms," he said. 他表示:“然而,在战争结束80年后,世界仍在遭遇各类不公与暴行,这些现象公然发生,而那些高谈民主与人权的大国往往对此无动于衷。真正的和平需要勇气与坚定的信念,去抵制一切形式的不公。” Miguel Diaz-Canel, first secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba and Cuban president, said on his social media account, "Between a millennial history and a present that inspires millions, China leads today the battle for the rescue of multilateralism and global governance." 古巴共产党中央委员会第一书记、古巴国家主席米格尔・迪亚斯-卡内尔在其社交媒体账号上表示:“在拥有千年历史的积淀与激励着数百万人的当下之间,中国如今正引领着维护多边主义、完善全球治理的斗争。” "Proud to support and share those postulates, Cuba is honored to attend the commemoration of the V-Day," he wrote. “古巴自豪地支持并认同这些原则,能出席此次胜利日纪念活动,我们深感荣幸。”他写道。 Former Japanese prime minister Yukio Hatoyama said in an interview on his return to Japan after taking part in the V-Day events that he was deeply struck by the conviction that Japan must learn from history in order to face the future. 日本前首相鸠山由纪夫在出席胜利日活动后返回日本接受采访时表示,他深切感受到,日本必须以史为鉴,才能面向未来,这一信念给他留下了深刻印象。 "I, as a Japanese, attended the commemoration with a sense of reflection and remorse. I am grateful to have been invited to take part in the ceremony; it was highly meaningful," he told China Central Television. 他在接受中国中央电视台采访时表示:“作为一名日本人,我怀着反思与愧疚的心情出席了此次纪念活动。非常感谢能受邀参与这一仪式,它具有极高的意义。”
