第九屆人大二次會議記者招待會(doc 12頁)

第九屆人大二次會議記者招待會內容提要：
意大利《24小時太陽報》記者：有人認為，10年以後世界會有3種大貨幣，美元、歐元，另一個不知道是亞洲的日元還是人民幣？你覺得人民幣有這個可能性嗎？朱鎔基答：人民幣能否成為世界貨幣，這個問題不應該由我來回答，而且現在還言之過早。但是我可以說一句：現在人民幣非常堅挺，不會貶值。
Some people believe that there will emerge three major currencies in the world．One is the euro，another is the US dollar. Do you think there will be one major currency emerging in Asia？Do you think it will be the Japanese yen or the Chinese renminbi？Do you think there is the possibility for the Chinese renminbi to become one of the major currencies in the world？If so，what measures is the Chinese Government going to take to make that happen？
The question whether the renminbi will become a world currency，in my view，is not a question that should be answered by me and l think it is too ear1y now to discuss this question. What can say is that the renminbi is now very strong and it wiIl not be depreciated.
中央電視台記者：在過去一年中，中國政府經受了嚴峻的考驗，也贏得廣泛的讚譽。請問過去一年讓你最感困難的是什麼，最不滿意的是什麼，最感動的又是什麼？答：過去的一年我感到非常困難，這個困難超過了我預料的程度。第一，我原來沒有估計到亞洲金融危機的影響這麼大；第二，我國發生的曆史上罕見的特大的洪澇災害也超出了我的預料。但我感到滿意的是，我們在以江澤民同誌為核心的黨中央領導下，依靠全國人民的努力，我們站住了，這兩個困難我們都挺過去了。這是不容易的，所以我在政府工作報告中說了一句：“來之不易”呀！我所不滿意的，是我的工作沒有做好。但是，我也感覺到，有個別部門和地區沒有很好貫徹中央的方針政策。我最感動的，是我在抗洪搶險第一線看到我們的人民解放軍不顧一切地保衛人民，甚至用身體保衛堤防，我禁不住熱淚盈眶
Over the past year，the Chinese Government has witnessed many severe tests and has also won extensive acclaim. My question is what was the most difficult task for you，what were you most dissatisfied with and what touched you the most over the past year?
I think the past year was extremelv difflcult and the difficulties actually were greater than we anticipated. The first reason was that the effect of the Asian financial crisis was more serious than we had expected. And the second reason was that extremelv severe fIooding----which had been rarely seen in history---also caused difficulties greater than we had expected.
What l am satisfied with over the past year is that，under the leadership of the CentraI Committee of the Communist Party of China with Comrade Jiang Zemin at its core and with the
concerted efforts of the entire Chinese people，we have overcome these difficuties and stood rock-solid．I think that this was indeed very difficult．That’s why in my report on the work of the government，I said the achievements really are very hard won.
What l am dissatisfied with is that l have not done a good job. However，at the same time l also feel that some departments and localities have failed to implement to the letter the policies and measures formulated by the Central Commjttee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council. What touched me most over the past year was what l saw on the forefront of the fight against flooding. I saw People’s Liberation Army soldiers using their bodies to reinforce river embankments and to protect the lives and the safety of the people. When seeing that，I was almost moved to tears.
