Ambassador Liu Xiaoming at the LSE China Development Forum 201122 January 2011, LSE, London 尊敬的戴维斯院长，女士们，先生们： Sir Howard Davies,Ladies and Gentlemen, 首先，感谢戴维斯院长的盛情邀请，使我有机会来到伦敦政治经济学院（LSE）发表演讲。 May I begin by thanking Sir Howard for this honour of speaking at the London School of Economics and Political Science. 其实，我与LSE还很有缘分。这是我第二次访问LSE。上一次是我刚上任不久来LSE出席“汉语桥”英国赛区的预赛。那是我来英国后的第一 场公共活动，也是第一次演讲。由于预赛在LSE举行，又逢虎年，英国选手个个虎虎生威，一路过关斩将，最后伦敦大学亚非学院的蒋思哲（Stewart Johnson）获特等奖，开了英国选手在世界大学生“汉语桥”中文比赛总决赛中夺冠之先河。他们应感谢LSE给他们带来的好运。 In fact, this is my second visit to the LSE. I made my first public appearance and first speech as the Chinese Ambassador to the UK at the LSE. That was when I attended the Ninth Chinese Proficiency Competition here. As the competition was held in the LSE, and it was shortly after the start of the Year of Tiger, the British contestants put on a vigorous and truly outstanding performance. Im glad to say that Stewart Johnson, an undergraduate at SOAS won the competition in the UK and went on to win the top prize in Beijing, becoming the first ever British student to win this prize. Maybe he should thank the LSE for this good luck. 当然，真正让LSE闻名于世的还是它深厚的学术底蕴，使它成为社会科学教学与研究领域的知名学府。LSE也是国际化程度最高的学府之一，培 养了140多个国家和地区的精英。值得一提的是，LSE与中国颇有渊源，中国一些杰出的外交官都曾在LSE深造，其中有中国现任外长杨洁篪先生。近年来到 LSE求学的中国学生日益增加，目前已超过500人。 The LSE has a well-deserved reputation for academic excellence. It prides itself on its diversity of students from over 140 countries. Many of them then returned home to become leaders in their respective fields. Among them are some distinguished Chinese diplomats, including the current Chinese Foreign Minister Mr Yang Jiechi. I am delighted to learn that the LSE is now home to over 500 Chinese stud
