我想先说两句话：一是如果我不从事政治的话，我也可能成为一位很好的科学家。二是在我从政这几十年当中，一直没有离开过对科学技术的关注。我认为一位好的领导者，是应该具备科学素养和科学知识的。我今天把您作为朋友，倾心交谈，我们彼此之间都不必拘束，您可以问我问题，我们也可以讨论问题。相对于文科背景，我对理科背景搞行政事务的人比较有好感。
... 要从孩子做起，使他们从小就养成独立思考的能力，在他们进入中学、大学后，使他们能够在自由的环境下培养创造性、批判性思维 ... 要培养科学家的科学道德。最重要的就是要坚持真理，实事求是，勇于创新，宽容失败。只有科学精神和实事求是的态度才能救中国，对于这一点我坚信不移。奶粉事件Wen讲到“我们觉得，事情发生在企业，但政府有责任，特别是在监管方面”。
Interview appearances by Wen or president Hu Jintao are so rare, let alone with the foreign media, that this session is noteworthy simply for its existence.我也觉得这篇采访比较不同寻常，国内新闻也未见报道采访的详细内容。
Before we begin, I would like to let you know that I will use the words from the bottom of my heart to answer your questions, which means that I will tell the truth to all your questions.
I always tell people that sometimes I may not tell what is on my mind, that as long as I speak out what is on my mind, the words are true.
I think you are now interviewing a statesman, and at the same time you are interviewing a statesman in his capacity as a common people.
I will take advantage of your kindness and ask you a question that many people around the world wonder about. There is a very famous photograph of you at Tiananmen square in 1989. What lesson did you take from your experiences in dealing with that problem in 1989?
I believe that while moving ahead with economic reforms, we also need to advance political reforms, as our development is comprehensive in nature, our reform should also be comprehensive.
I think the core of your question is about the development of democracy in China. I believe when it comes to the development of democracy in China, we talk about progress to be made in three areas:
No. 1: We need to gradually improve the democratic election system so that state power will truly belong to the people and state power will be used to serve the people
No. 2: We need to improve the legal system, run the country according to law, and establish the country under the rule of law and we need to view an independent and just judicial system.
No. 3: Government should be subject to oversight by the people and that will ask us, call on us to increase transparency in government affairs and particularly it is also necessary for government to accept oversight by the news media and other parties.
There is also another important aspect that when it comes to development of democracy in China, we need to take into account China's national conditions, and we need to introduce a system that suits China's special features, and we need to introduce a gradual approach.
我依然以为当一个产品标榜安全，它就应该是安全的；我依然以为当一个自称公仆，我们就要以对待公仆的方式要求他；我依然相信语言与事物的神奇对应，相信承诺必将履行，理念必得实现。这不是幼稚，而是公民存在的基本条件；不只是「我相信」，更是「我要相信」。
《中华人民共和国宪法》里面所列举的，一条一条列举的，是全世界最完整的出版，言论自由，罢工自由，什么都有，每一条都列举出来了，我不以为他是假的，只要我们认真他就是真的。
What is more, those who choose not to empathise may enable real monsters. For without ever committing an act of outright evil ourselves, we collude with it, through our own apathy.
"One early morning in the summer of 1980, I woke up with 'Let Me Count The Ways' ringing in my head. I called John who was then in Bermuda and played it over the phone. 'How d'you like it?' 'I really like it. It's beautiful.' 'How about you writing one with a Robert Browning line and we'll have portraits of us as Elizabeth and Robert on the cover?'
John called me that afternoon 'Hey, you won't believe this!' He explained that he was watching the TV, a fifties film of a baseball player. In the film, John saw the girlfriend send a poem to her baseball player, a poem which was one by Robert Browning called 'Grow Old Beside Me.' 'Can you believe that?..so anyway, this is my version.' John proudly played his song over the phone. That's how our two songs happened."
一个人力资源工作者说：“中国教育的基础价值观就是进入大学，毕业后找到份好的工作。”就业问题，虽原因是多方面的，但基础教育、高等教育都难逃其咎。我们的大学，功利性太强，价值观单一，在这种模式，学生和老师大都没法做真正学问，有独立人格，影响着老师，特别是学生思想的成长。更可悲的是政治枷锁、愚民教育。
(Education is such a bedrock value that "kids who really shouldn't even be in college go anyway, and then expect a good-paying job when they graduate," says the human-resources executive. )
在中国现代观念中，比受教育更受人重视的就是：赚钱！并且受教育程度直接影响挣钱多少。
(in a culture in which the only thing revered more than education is making money, the former is supposed to lead directly to the latter.)
据说这首歌曲的背景乐是Ono Yoko首次在Beatles唱片中发声，同时参与的还有Pattie Boyd——Harrison的第一任妻子，之后离婚，又嫁给了Eric Clapton，Eric Clapton著名的歌曲Layla便是为她所写的。年轻的Eric Clapton当年同时爱上了好友Harrison的妻子Pattie Boyd和其妹妹Paula，当Paula听到这首Layla后，知道在Eric Clapton心中，自己只是姐姐的一个替代者，于是黯然离去。Birthday (Lennon/McCartney)
