Premier Wen Jiabao Answered Questions at Press Conference

温家宝总理首先向中外记者介绍了各位副总理。

Premier Wen Jiabao first introduced the vice premiers to the Chinese and foreign press.

温家宝：第十一届全国人民代表大会第一次会议闭幕了，会议产生了新一届政府。现在我把和我一同出席这次记者招待会的各位副总理向大家介绍一下：坐在我旁边的是李克强，他是我们副总理中最年轻的，也是中共中央政治局常委。这位是回良玉，大家都熟悉了，他是上届政府的副总理，这次是连任。我们还有两位新任副总理，一位是张德江，一位是王岐山，他们都曾经担任过“地方大员”。

Premier: The First Session of the Eleventh National People’s Congress was just concluded and a new government was formed at the session. Now I would like to introduce to you the vice premiers who accompany me at this press conference. Sitting on my right is Li Keqiang, the youngest vice premier of this government and also a Member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. This is Hui Liangyu, whom I am sure you know well. He was a vice premier of the previous government and is reelected this time. We have two other new vice premiers. They are Zhang Dejiang and Wang Qishan. Both of them served as top local leaders.

凤凰卫视记者：上届政府曾经遇到两次令全球华人为之牵挂的突发性灾害。５年前，新任总理的您经历了非典，人们还不知道您当时的心路历程。５年之后，突如其来的南方冰雪灾害，人们又看到您奔走在抗击雪灾的前线，这场灾害让您感受到了什么？未来５年您将还会面临什么样的挑战？

Phoenix TV: The previous government encountered two sudden disasters about which the Chinese all over the world were deeply concerned. Five years ago, you, as the newly elected premier, led the fight against the SARS epidemic. People still want to know what was on your mind at the time. Five years later, when the disaster of sleet and snowstorms hit Southern China, people once again saw you at the forefront of the fight against the disaster. What was on your mind this time? What kind of challenges do you expect in the next five years?

温家宝：５年已经过去了，“行事见于当时，是非公于后世”。历史是人民创造的，也是人民书写的。一个领导者应该把眼睛盯住前方，把握现在，思考未来。我脑子里在盘旋四件事情：

Premier: Five years have passed. What one did at the time will be judged by history. History is created and written by the people. A leader should look ahead, he should think about both the present and the future. And I have four goals in mind.

第一，要使中国的经济继续保持平稳较快发展，同时有效地抑制通货膨胀。这就必须解决经济发展中的不稳定、不协调、不可持续的问题。

First, we need to ensure fast yet steady development of China’s economy and effectively curb inflation at the same time. To attain this goal, we must resolve problems causing instability, and lack of coordination and unsustainability in economic development.
