【正确答案】{{B}}译文1{{/B}} The choice by the Chinese people to follow a peaceful path to development is a wise decision based on China's traditional culture, painful history and her tremendous achievements at the current stage. China is an ancient civilization boasting 5,000 years' history with the tradition of seeking mutual complementarities, accommodation and integration with foreign cultures. Our ancestors have always underscored the "cherishing of harmony". In China's history of interactions with the outside world, she has consistently focused on the practice of befriending her neighbors while pursuing harmony out of a respect for differences. More than 2,000 years ago, China had exchanges of envoys, trade in commodities and cultural interchanges with her neighboring countries, with the westward trip by envoy Zhang Qian of Han Dynasty chartering out a "silk road" in the Euro-Asia continent. More than 1,000 years ago, China was carrying out exchanges with the outside world over both land and sea, achieving an unprecedented prosperity and selling such commodities as tea, silk and porcelain to many countries in Asia and Europe. 600 years ago, Voyager Zheng He of Ming Dynasty in China led his fleet to the West Seas for seven times, reaching out to more than 30 countries and regions across Asia and Africa. He brought along with him not only advanced agricultural and handicraft techniques, but also exquisite products and sincere friendship. Such a cultural heritage has decided that today's China will inevitably choose peaceful development to sustain the continuity of history as well as to align herself into the currents of peace and development in the global context. From the Opium War and the First Sino-Japanese War after the 1840s, China's War on Foreign Invaders in 1900 to the Japanese War of Aggression against China in the 1930s, China was subject to the butchering of the then strong powers in the West and East and their extremely barbarian economic depredation. This, coupled with feudal corruption and years of successive civil strife and chaos, led to the loss of China's sovereignty and the horrendous suffering of her people, her national strength failing and people barely surviving. The grave disasters and the harsh facts have ingrained deeply into the Chinese nation the value of peace and the importance of development. Such a historic experience has shaped the psychology of the Chinese people in our quest for peace and hope for stability, consolidating our belief in following a path to peaceful development. After the founding of New China in 1949, we have made arduous explorations in the course of our development, going through both the joys of success and the frustrations of failure. Starting from 1978, China has embarked on a new journey of transforming from a planned economy to a market economy, from cloistered up to opening up, from exclusive self-sustaining to integration into globalization. By following a path of building socialism with Chinese characteristics in an independent and self-reliant manner, we have scored glorious achievements that attracted worldwide attention. Practice has amply demonstrated that it is right to adhere to a path of peaceful development, as it conforms to both China's reality and the trend of the times. China will unswervingly march onward alongside this path to peaceful development. {{B}}译文2{{/B}} The wise choice of the Chinese people to follow the path of peaceful development is based on China's traditional culture, past tragedies and modern accomplishments. As an ancient civilization with a history of over 5 millennia, China is culturally inclusive as it keeps drawing on what foreign cultures have to offer. Traditionally, Chinese ancestors believed in "peace and harmony"; historically China has been committed to building friendship with its neighbors and embracing harmony and diversity among nations. Over 2000 years ago, China and its neighboring countries started to conduct diplomatic, commodity and cultural exchanges, culminating in the "Silk Road" carved out by Zhang Qian, a well-known envoy of the Han Dynasty during his diplomatic missions to the then Western Region. Over 1000 years ago, China's communication with the outside world was more dynamic than before, with tea, silk and chinaware swarming into many Asian and European countries by both land and sea. Over 600 years ago, Zheng He, a renowned voyager of the Ming Dynasty led fleets to the West Seas for seven times. During his adventurous trips, he set foot on 30-odd countries and territories in Asia and Africa, bringing with him advanced farming technique and sophisticated handcraftsmanship as well as exquisite products and sincere friendship of China. This historical and cultural heritage dictates China's choice of peaceful development and its natural integration into the global trend of peace and development. From the Opium War and the First Sino-Japanese War after the 1840s, China's War on Foreign Invaders in 1900 to the Japanese War of Aggression against China in the 1930s, China was subjected to merciless slaughtering by the then strong powers in the West and East and their outrageously barbarian economic plundering. This, coupled with feudal corruption and incessant civil strife, led to the deprivation of China's sovereignty and the untold suffering of its people, with its national strength decaying and its people living in destitution. The disastrous, tragic episodes have brought home to the Chinese people the value of peace and the importance of development. A historical trajectory as such has shaped Chinese people's aspiration for peace and stability and entrenched their commitment to follow a road of peaceful development. After the founding of New China in 1949, we have explored painstakingly for a suitable development path, with both joyful successes and frustrating failures along the way. China embarked on a new journey in 1978 when it started to move away from planned economy to market forces, from self-seclusion to opening up and integration into economic globalization. China has since followed a path of independently building socialism with distinctive Chinese features. All the remarkable results achieved so far tell us that the road to peaceful development is a correct choice as it conforms to not only China's national reality but also the trend of the time. Going forward, China will remain committed to this well-chosen path.
