一带一路（双语）
2000多年前，亚欧大陆上勤劳勇敢的人民，探索出多条连接亚欧非几大文明的贸易和人文交流通路，后人将其统称为“丝绸之路”。
more than two millennia ago the diligent and courageous people ofeurasia explored and opened up several routes of trade and cultural exchanges that linked the major civilizations of asia, europe and africa, collectively called the silk road by later generations.
千百年来，“和平合作、开放包容、互学互鉴、互利共赢”的丝绸之路精神薪火相传，推进了人类文明进步。
for thousands of years, the silk road spirit – “peace and cooperation, openness and inclusiveness, mutual learning and mutual benefit” – has been passed from generation to generation, promoted the progress of human civilization, and contributed greatly to the prosperity and development of the countries along the silk road.
