兩岸交流外一章

台灣來鴻  BBC中文網特約記者 楊孟瑜

兩岸之間的交流，在前一陣子台灣在野黨領袖連戰、宋楚瑜相繼訪問大陸時，算是達到了一個難得的高峰。據說自連、宋二人走訪大陸後，大陸那邊開始流行起“連宋遊”，也就是他們二人先後走過的地方、觀光景點，吃過的餐廳等，已經成了新的熱門旅遊路線，很多人也想“走一遍”，吃一吃連、宋二人吃過的好菜，看一看他們看過的風景。

而在台灣這邊，也有什麼因此帶動的“新流行”呢？有，國民黨中央黨部似乎就成了大陸人士來台旅遊時也想瞧瞧的新“觀光景點”。

聽說，前些天，那平常大多是政治人物、記者、或抗議者流連穿梭的國民黨中央黨部一樓大廳，就來了一群大陸觀光客，他們在附近的蔣介石紀念堂遊覽後，指名一定要來看看連戰上班的地方。好巧不巧，連戰正好走了進來，他們高興的直喊“連主席”。據說連戰聽到這北京腔的“連主席”，有點驚訝的回了頭，隨後含笑打了招呼，但也很快就進了電梯，沒有響應這群大陸觀光客希望“合個影吧”的要求。

其實啊，或許他們應該高喊“連爺爺”。說起來，這正是連戰訪大陸後台灣最興盛的“新流行”。這句大陸孩子們的“爺爺，您回來啦”，如今在台灣可是耳熟能詳。

話說連戰到西安做“尋根之旅”時，母校後宰門小學的孩子們高聲朗誦“爺爺，您回來啦，您終於回來啦！”來歡迎他，由於如此唱作俱佳的表演方式台灣極為“罕見”，覺得非常具有趣味性，隨行媒體們也一播再播，台灣大眾看得是笑聲連連。

腦筋動得快的手機經營者，眼見大眾被逗得如此“開懷”，於是趕緊搶下“版權”，用西安後宰門小學孩子們的這些朗誦做為手機答鈴聲，馬上大受歡迎，短短幾小時內就有上千人下載。

而“爺爺，您回來啦”等詞句，也開始在台灣廣為流傳，並發展出各種不同版本。

譬如台灣流行音樂界的盛事─金曲獎，不久前在高雄舉行頒獎典禮時，主持人之一的陶晶瑩特別穿著熊貓裝登場，並模仿後宰門小學孩子們的腔調，對著已從高雄市長”升任”行政院長的謝長廷說：”謝爺爺，您終於回來啦！”

陶晶瑩在台上說：“為什麼我今天穿著熊貓裝呢？那是因為連爺爺的熊貓還沒來。謝爺爺，您在哪兒呢？我上次主持金曲獎時您還是市長，現在是院長了。謝爺爺，您終於回來啦！”

謝長廷大概沒想到這“流行語”也會用在他身上。還記得當初連戰要從大陸返台時，民進黨人士曾經用這調侃連戰，叫連戰”還是別回來了，就和兩隻熊貓，一隻叫一國，一隻叫兩制，一起留在祖國吧。”

這起源自大陸的“爺爺，您回來啦”，不只台灣政治人物和節目主持人會用，不只手機經營者會拿來賺錢，連討債公司也會拿來討錢。有電視台拍到，一群討債兄弟們就站在欠債人的家門口，高喊欠債人的名字說，“你回來吧，我們被你欠的錢，都夠買一隻熊貓了”。

後宰門小學孩子們歡迎連戰的朗誦中有“家鄉已經變了模樣”、“您心海里是否也起了波瀾”等字句，討債公司也能符合自己需求的改成：“被你欠錢的人生活已經變了模樣，你的心坎裡是否也起了波瀾”。

真沒想到，西安孩子們一場歡迎連戰的表演，會為台灣社會帶來這麼多“商機”與“樂趣”，也算是兩岸交流”外一章”吧。政治人物穿梭兩岸，總會有些“意外收獲”。像是繼連戰之後也去訪問大陸的親民黨主席宋楚瑜，也無意間促進了民眾對兩岸不同“用語”的瞭解。

話說宋楚瑜在清華大學演講時，對於校方在歡迎辭中盛讚他，宋楚瑜感激在心，並特別用了一個台灣不會用，但北京會用的“特”字，來形容自己是“特窩心”的。

咦，宋楚瑜此話一出，聽眾們的反應好像“怪怪的”，隨行有家台灣電視台記者嗅覺特敏銳，馬上走訪北京民眾，才知道這“窩心”在兩岸的意思可是完全相反。

在台灣說“窩心”，是指對方的言行彷佛說到自己心窩裡，感覺相當溫暖、舒服，甚至是很感動﹔而在大陸說“窩心”，則是指心裡彷佛被堵住一樣，特不舒服。

喔，不經一事不長一智，原來這“窩心”一詞在台灣和大陸是大不相同，而且是心裡“舒服”對上心裡“不舒服”。看來宋楚瑜想與北京人士拉近距離，卻是表錯了情。

不過幸好有他“錯了”這一回，讓兩岸民眾對雙方用語有了番新認識，他也算是達成了促進兩岸“溝通、瞭解”的任務。

關於兩岸關係，台灣陳水扁政府常會說，希望北京當局“不要誤判情勢”，對嘛，你看連小小的“窩心”二字，兩岸都有完全不同的解讀，雙方若不趕快交流、溝通，還真的令人擔心會有“誤判情勢”擦槍走火的一天。

好比說，兩岸領導人真有一天會面對話了，台灣這邊若說對方讓自己感到“窩心”，原本是指“你讓我感動”的好話，對方卻當成是“你讓我心裡不舒服”的壞話，那可真有可能“誤判情勢”打起來了。

所以，真要感謝“連爺爺”和“宋爺爺”，兩人一趟大陸行，為台灣帶來了不少歡笑與流行，也證明了兩岸加速溝通對話的必要性。

Acceptance Speech by Prof Yonath / Yonath 教授致答謝詞

Acceptance Speech by Prof Ada Yonath For Honorary Doctorate Awardees	Ada Yonath 教授代表眾榮譽博士 致答謝詞
Pro-Chancellor, Council Chairman, President and Distinguished Guests:	副監督先生、校董會主席、校長、各位貴賓：
It is a great moment for me to be able to express my sincere gratitude and deep appreciation for the award of Honorary Doctor of Science of City University of Hong Kong. I also want to convey my deep appreciation to my two fellow Awardees at this delightful event, namely Professor Frederick Ma Si-hang, Chairman of MTR Corporations Limited, and Mr Yeung Kin-man, Founder and Chief Executive, Biel Crystal (HK) Manufactory Limited.	在這美好的時刻，請容許我由衷感謝、並表示誠心領受香港城市大學授予我的榮譽科學博士學位。在這令人喜悅的場合，我也要對一同領受榮譽博士學位的兩位人士表達真摯讚賞：一位是香港鐵路有限公司主席馬時亨教授，另一位是伯恩光學（香港）有限公司創辦人兼總裁楊建文先生。
I am not a natural speaker. Therefore when I was approached by CityU to give this speech my first, spontaneous response was negative, which became stronger when the justification for this speech was “traditional”. It is very difficult to associate me with “common” “customary” or “traditional”. My resentment to such reasoning is known among my colleagues. Actually, my courage to embark on a project believed worldwide to be formidable is a proper example to my untraditional attitude.	我天生不善於言辭；因此，起初城市大學請我來致詞，我不假思索就一口謝絕；待到得知要我致詞的理由乃是「遵從習俗」，就更是竭力推辭了。說起「常規」、「慣例」、「習俗」，很難令人聯想起我這個人；我最厭惡據此為由來論證事理，這在我的同事之間已人人皆知。事實上，全世界眾人望而生畏的某項課題，我竟有膽量去著手研究，正是我離規脫俗心態的恰當寫照。
The fact that I have agreed to deliver this speech indicates the importance of CityU to me, and shows clearly its high level.	我終於應允來致這篇答謝詞，表明了城市大學在我心目中的重要意義，也突顯了這所大學的崇高地位。
Actually, although I have received many awards and honours in my career, the only formal speech I have ever given so far was during the dinner ceremony of the Nobel Prize, namely the prize acceptance speech, on behalf of all three Chemist Laureates, who belong to different nationalities, genders, views and upbringings.	我雖然在科研生涯中曾多次得獎、多次獲頒榮譽稱號，但其實至今僅僅作過一次正式演講，那是在獲得諾貝爾獎後的晚宴儀式上發言，也即代表全體三名化學獎得主致獲獎答謝詞。我們三人的國籍不同，有男有女，各人的想法和身世也不同。
As in the Nobel event, here, too, I am representing all three laureates, namely Professor Frederick Ma Si-hang and Mr Yeung Kin-man, and myself. Similar to the Nobel case, the three of us belong to different nationalities, genders, views and upbringings.	此刻我在這裏致詞，也好似那次獲諾貝爾獎的情形，乃是代表同時領受榮譽學位的三人，也即馬時亨教授、楊建文先生，還有我自己；與當年的那次相似，我們三人的國籍也不同，有男有女，各人的想法和身世也不同。
Nevertheless, all three of us share a common passion: to set for ourselves significant goals and to perform our utmost in reaching them. Consequently, all three awards are bestowed in recognition of our significant contributions to humanity, to advancing enthusiasm for creativity and to increasing the respect for knowledge among the younger generation. These are great human principles and I am certain CityU will continue to show its appreciation to such values.	儘管如此，我們三人都懷有同一份熱忱：要為自己立下有意義的目標，並竭盡全力去達致目標。因此，城大頒授這三個榮譽博士學位，意在表彰我們的重大貢獻有益於人類、有利於社會更熱心培育創造力、有助於使青年一代多尊重知識。這些都是全人類共有的偉大原則，我深信城市大學會繼續彰顯而崇尚這些原則理念。
Let me express again my sincere gratefulness to CityU, and to all of you for coming to this ceremony.	請容許我再次由衷感謝城市大學，也感謝全體來賓前來出席今天的儀式。 (Tr. by Allen Zhuang)
(City University of Hong Kong conferred Honorary Doctorates on three distinguished persons at a ceremony on 13 October 2016.  Professor Ada Yonath, one of the awardees, gave this speech in English on behalf of the group.  The Chinese version had been prepared for the benefit of some participants in the ceremony.)

AIIB and Regional Cooperation / 亞投行與區域合作

AIIB and Regional Cooperation (subtitles) By Jin Liqun	亞投行與區域合作 (字幕) 金立群
As we look at the world today, great changes are taking place. We are facing the weak global growth and demand for goods, booming debts and the fear of protectionism and job losses. All these are the very tough reality that all countries face.	我們放眼今日世界，看到各地正發生巨變。我們正面臨全球經濟增長放緩、商品需求疲弱、債務激增，而貿易保護政策和失業現象令人擔憂。這都是全球各國共同面臨的嚴酷現實。
China, too, is undergoing unprecedented change, as the country shifts from the growth pattern driven by exports and investments to a new pattern driven by consumption and innovations.	中國也在經歷史無前例的變化，因為國家的經濟增長，正從依靠出口與投資拉動的模式，轉變為依靠消費與創新拉動的新模式。
The way it interacts with the world will be flipped on its head.	中國與外部世界的互動方式，將要發生天翻地覆的巨變。
The period of fast and easy growth has come and has probably gone.	經濟曾一度飛快增長，但那段時期大概已一去不返了。
We must work together to find new innovative solutions to drive growth, and we have but one option: enhanced cooperation, regional and global integration.	我們必須攜手另尋找創新的解決方案以推動增長，但只有一個選擇：加強協作，與本區域及全球各地更緊密整合。
The Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, AIIB, optimizes this cooperation and integration. AIIB has the birthmark of China, but we are nurtured by 57 member countries. So the upbringing of AIIB would be in the charge of all the 57 member countries and very soon about 100 countries.	亞洲基礎設施投資銀行，簡稱「亞投行」，就是推行這一協作與整合的最佳方案。 亞投行帶有出生於中國的胎記，但哺育它的是57個亞投行成員國；負責帶領它成長的，將是全體57個成員國，而且很快就會是大約一百個成員國。
This is the first bank initiated and led by China. This is also the first bank led by Asian developing countries. As you see, Asians account for 75% of the voting power. Never, ever in this world has such a great multinational development bank, with the developing countries as the majority shareholders.	這是第一家由中國發起並主導的銀行，也是第一家由亞洲發展中國家主導的銀行。你們可以看到，亞洲各國握有該行的75% 投票權；當今世上，從未有過如此大規模的一家多國開發銀行是以發展中國家為多數股東的。
AIIB would not be able to count 57 countries among shareholders if it was designed to serve China’s interests exclusively. Of equal importance of our creation is that Chinese leaders felt it’s time developing nations to have a larger voice. Developing countries try to change the status quo, and want to experiment with new development and production approaches. In this way, the motivation to initiate AIIB stems from the shared experience of developing countries in Asia, and China in particular.	亞投行若是專為中國謀利益而設計的，就不可能將57國列為股東了。我們創立亞投行，同樣重要的原因是，中國領導人覺得如今是擴大各發展中國家發言權的時候了。發展中各國力求改變現狀，想要嘗試新的發展途徑、新的生產方式。發起亞投行的推動力，就是這樣起源於亞洲各發展中國家的共同經驗，尤其是中國的經驗。
Largely owing to broad ranging of improved infrastructure, China managed to lift over 500 million people out of poverty by the World Bank standards. By China’s standards, there were 600 million people.	中國的一系列基礎設施已經改善，這是它能夠使五億多人民脫離貧困的一大原因。這數據是以世界銀行的貧困標準計算而得的；若以中國標準計算，有六億人民脫離了貧困。
China has proven that this approach, infrastructure investments for broad-based economic, social development, and poverty reduction, works.	中國已經證明：投資於基礎設施，以推動廣泛的經濟和社會發展，從而舒緩貧困，這一條路是行得通的。
AIIB will finance infrastructure projects that promote broad-based economic and social development in a cost-effective way. We want to facilitate connectivity, support projects that are financially sustainable, environmentally friendly and socially acceptable. That would meet the needs of the people in Asia, and would bring benefits to the people in the rest of the world.	只要基礎設施工程能以低成本、高效益方式推動廣泛的經濟和社會發展，亞投行就將為之提供資金。 我們要促成互聯互通，支持財務上可持續的、無害於環境的、社會可接受的工程。這將滿足亞洲人民的需求，也將為世界其他地區的人民帶來益處。
I think Hong Kong, as a financial center, have a very important role to play for AIIB. For instance, AIIB can issue bonds in Hong Kong and can also have currency swaps trading done in Hong Kong. As you see, when Asia is more developed, economic activities will be more booming, there will be more business for banks and manufacturers.	我認為，香港這個金融中心可以為亞投行發揮重大作用。例如，亞投行可以在香港發行債券，使得外匯掉期交易可以在香港進行。 大家可以看到，亞洲發達之後，經濟活動將更興旺，銀行和製造廠商的生意也會增多。
The question is when Hong Kong will be a member. As I told you earlier on, we would start looking into the procedures of accepting members in the forthcoming board meeting. If things go well, in June we could have serious discussions of the new members.	現在問題是：香港何時將成為亞投行的一員。早前我對你們說過，下一次亞投行董事局開會，我們就開始研究接納新成員的程序。如果事情順利，我們在6月間就可以認真討論如何接納新成員。
Thank you very much for your support, and I am looking forward to your continued commitment and support. And we believe with the support of 57 member countries, the board and also new members, we would make the AIIB the greatest multinational development bank in the world with the 21st century governance.	十分感謝大家的支持，我期待諸位繼續履行承諾，並給予支持。我們堅信，有57個成員國、董事局的支持，還有新成員的支持，我們必將使亞投行成為世界上最偉大的、採用21世紀管理方式的跨國開發銀行。 (Tr. by Allen Zhuang)
Mr Jin Liqun, President of AIIB, made the speech in English in Hong Kong on 7 April 2016 at the invitation of China Institute, Our Hong Kong Foundation. A five-minute video of the speech is available on the organizer's website (click to watch), with bilingual subtitles as posted here.
