【正文】 ont of the fight against flooding. I saw People’s Liberation Army soldiers using their bodies to reinforce river embankments and to protect the lives and the safety of the people. When seeing that，I was almost moved to tears. 美國《時(shí)代》周刊記者：您再過幾天就將訪問美國，但是考慮到現(xiàn)在華盛頓出現(xiàn)了一種很不好的反華的情緒，看來您的美國之行就好像您要踏入另一片“雷區(qū)”。這是不容易的，所以我在政府工作報(bào)告中說了一句：“來之不易”呀！我所不滿意的，是我的工作沒有做好。第一，我原來沒有估計(jì)到亞洲金融危機(jī)的影響這么大；第二，我國發(fā)生的歷史上罕見的特大的洪澇災(zāi)害也超出了我的預(yù)料。 Some people believe that there will emerge three major currencies in the world．One is the euro，another is the US dollar. Do you think there will be one major currency emerging in Asia？Do you think it will be the Japanese yen or the Chinese renminbi？Do you think there is the possibility for the Chinese renminbi to bee one of the major currencies in the world？If so，what measures is the Chinese Government going to take to make that happen？ The question whether the renminbi will bee a world currency，in my view，is not a question that should be answered by me and l think it is too ear1y now to discuss this question. What can say is that the renminbi is now very strong and it wiIl not be depreciated. 中央電視臺記者：在過去一年中，中國政府經(jīng)受了嚴(yán)峻的考驗(yàn)，也贏得廣泛的贊譽(yù)。九屆人大二次會議記者招待會 朱镕基總理回答記者提問意大利《24小時(shí)太陽報(bào)》記者：有人認(rèn)為，10年以后世界會有3種大貨幣，美元、歐元，另一個(gè)不知道是亞洲的日元還是人民幣？你覺得人民幣有這個(gè)可能性嗎？朱镕基答：人民幣能否成為世界貨幣，這個(gè)問題不應(yīng)該由我來回答，而且現(xiàn)在還言之過早。但是我可以說一句：現(xiàn)在人民幣非常堅(jiān)挺，不會貶值。請問過去一年讓你最感困難的是什么，最不滿意的是什么，最感動的又是什么？答：過去的一年我感到非常困難，這個(gè)困難超過了我預(yù)料的程度。但我感到滿意的是，我們在以江澤民同志為核心的黨中央領(lǐng)導(dǎo)下，依靠全國人民的努力，我們站住了，這兩個(gè)困難我們都挺過去了。但是，我也感覺到，有個(gè)別部門和地區(qū)沒有很好貫徹中央的方針政策。在華盛頓人們指責(zé)中國從事間諜活動，或者是偷竊一些敏感的、高技術(shù)的情報(bào)用于提高中國自己的軍事技術(shù)，而這對美國的安全構(gòu)成了威脅。但是由于種種不講你們也知道的原因，在美國出現(xiàn)了一種反對中國的潮流，這使我們感到很不安。在今年2月22號的business weekly《商業(yè)周刊》）上登了一篇題為China, what’s going wrong （《中出了什么問題？》）的文章，這篇文章十分特別，它認(rèn)為中國已經(jīng)大禍臨頭。這篇文章的發(fā)表也反映了現(xiàn)在美國出現(xiàn)的那一股潮流，實(shí)際上是美國的內(nèi)部斗爭把中美關(guān)系作為犧牲品。這家雜志的封面上登了我的一張照片，這張照片看起來我就像個(gè)死人。這不是個(gè)“地雷陣”，無非是氣氛不太好，但我的訪問就是要去說明真相，恢復(fù)中美致力于建立建設(shè)性戰(zhàn)略伙伴關(guān)系的好勢頭。過低估計(jì)了美國自己的保密能力。我們不要忘記歷史，歷史上曾經(jīng)有過這種草木皆兵、人人自危的時(shí)期，在美國有過這種時(shí)期，在中國也有過這種時(shí)期。過低估計(jì)了中國開發(fā)軍事技術(shù)的能力。中國完全有能力開發(fā)任何的軍事技術(shù)，這僅僅是個(gè)時(shí)間問題。我們已經(jīng)停止了核試驗(yàn)，我們和美國已經(jīng)簽訂了導(dǎo)彈互不瞄準(zhǔn)的協(xié)議。Since the exchange of visits between the state heads of China and the United States，the two countries have started to work on building a constructive strategic momentum of the growth of the SinoUS relationship has been quite good． However，due to various reasons which I do not see the need to mention here，has emerged an antiChina trend in the United States,which has caused concern from our side. I do not think that by paying a visit to the United States l will step into a minefield．But l do expect to encounter some hostile or unfiendly reactIons. In February 22 issue，Business Weekly carried an article titled China，what’s going wrong？This article is very special． According to that article, it seems as though China is about to encounter a big calamity or insolvency and a major disaster is looming close by. Actually before that l had never seen an acticle carried by US media describing China like that. I think the emergence of such an article reflects the emerging antiChjna trend and that the SinoUS relationship has been victimized by partisan politics in the United am also a victim, for on the cover of that magazine I was portrayed like a dead person. Under such circumstances，my visit to the US wiIl not be an easy job．According to the prediction of many media organizations，my forthing visit is unlikely to be successful. However，I will go anywav to lend them a chance to vent their anger or plaints. As I just mentioned now,I do not think my visit will lead me into a minefield ,only that l will encounter a negative atmosphere in the United States. By going to the United States l will trv to clarify the truth and also to resume the momentum of developing a constructive strategic partnership between China and the United States. Just now you asked me to clarify the truth about the allegation of China stealing US militarv secrets. Now I’d like to answer the question. To me some people in the United States have made two mistakes． One is that the they have underestimated the ability of the United States to guard their secrets To my knowledge，the Los Alamos laboratory has very tight security measures. As each of those working there knows about only a part of a project，it is impossible for them to leak any secrets．Therefore，even now，they have not found any solid evidence to prosecute Dr Wen Ho Lee. They can only fire him. We shall never forget history. Historically，both China and the United States have experienced such periods when hysteria bees the norm. A typical example in China is the“cultural revolution.” Another of fheir rmistakes is that they have underestimated China military research development capabiiities， The Chinese are intelligent and diligent，as evidenced by many Chinese Americans． Also a case in point is that China independently developed its atomic and hydrogen bombs and man made satellites. China is fully capable of developing any military technology. It is only a matter of time. But please keep in mind that China is the first countrv to declare that not be the first to use nuclear weapons．Already we have imposed an moratorium on nuclear testing. We’ve agreed wlth the United States on the mudnon，targeting of missiles ffainst each should Chjna take the political and moraI risk of stealing others’ military technology or secrets？ The alleged Chinese theft of US military technology is only a fictioh. 臺灣人權(quán)新聞通訊社記者：1993年下半年開始實(shí)施的宏觀調(diào)控有成效。請問宏觀調(diào)控今后怎樣繼續(xù)做到內(nèi)外兼顧？另外，您這次到美國去將面臨人權(quán)問題，這個(gè)問題也可能是一個(gè)焦點(diǎn)。Since the introduction of the policy of macro regulation and control in the second half of 1993，such policy has produced four major results. The first result is that it helped China to cope with the Asian financial crisis．Secondly, it also has exerted three major functions in China，that is stability of the currency，the second is the stability of prices，and the third is social my question is jn the course of macro regulation and control by what measures would you take into consideration all these four functions and also in your fiscal and economic
