【原文】中央人民广播电台记者：在我国经济取得举世公认的成就的同时，很多人关心政治体制改革的问题。请问总理，在今年和本届政府任期内，政治体制改革有哪些具体的目标？在您的构想中，符合我国国情和广大老百姓利益的政治体制应该是怎样的？
【译文】China National Radio: China has scored impressive achievements in economic development. Many people are interested in the question of political restructuring. My question is what are the specific objectives for political restructuring this year and during the rest of the government's tenure? Could you describe to us your vision of a political system that is consistent with China's conditions and the interests of our people?
【原文】温家宝：去年在这里我曾把社会主义比作大海，海不辞水，故能成其大，就是说社会主义只有吸收世界一切先进的文明成果才能使自己不断发展。今天我在这里又想把社会主义比作高山，山不辞石，故其成为高。社会主义只有不断地调整和完善自己，才能进步。我应该向大家说明，我们从一开始搞的改革，就包含着经济体制改革和政治体制改革的全面改革，没有政治体制改革的成功，经济体制改革最终也不能成功。
【译文】Wen: I think it was in this room last year that I compared socialism to a big ocean. The ocean never turns away streams, so it becomes wide and deep. That means socialism can only develop itself by drawing upon all the fine fruits of advanced human civilization. Today I would like to make a further comparison of socialism to a high mountain. The mountain never turns away stones, so it becomes towering and strong. That means that socialism can only make progress by constant self-improvement and self-readjustment. I must make it very clear that from the very beginning China's reform program is comprehensive in nature and covers both the economic reform and political restructuring. Without success in political restructuring, the economic reform in China could not eventually succeed.
【原文】这里我想突出讲一下政府体制改革。从我上任那一天起，我们就确立了三个目标。第一，建立科学民主决策机制，包括集体决策制度、专家咨询制度、社会公示和公证制度、决策责任制度。我们要使政府依法行政，建设法治政府。只有依法行政，建设法治政府，才能依法治国，建设法治国家。政府依法行政要做到合法合理、程序完善、公平公正、高效便民、诚实守信、责权统一。第三，我们要接受各方面的监督，包括人民代表大会的监督、政协的民主监督，听取各方面的意见，包括社会舆论和人民群众的意见。
【译文】Here I would like to emphasize the institutional reform of the government. From the very first day when I assumed my office, I set for myself three objectives. The first was the establishment of a scientific and democratic decision-making mechanism, which includes collective decision-making, consultations with experts and the people, the holding of public hearings and the accountability mechanism. The government must administer the country according to law and builds itself on the rule of law. Only when the government abides by the law and exercises administration by law can we have a country under the rule of law. In terms of the elements of the administration by law, I would like to highlight the need for the government to abide by the law, to be rational, to put into place full-fledged procedures, to be fair and just in administration, and to provide high efficient services to the convenience of the people. The government must also be clean, honest and honors its commitments. And there must be a combination of power and responsibility. Thirdly, the government must be put under the supervision of the people, including through the NPC and democratic supervision through the CPPCC. The government must listen to the views of various quarters, including public opinions and views from various people.
【学习札记】
1.由“海不辞水，故能成其大”联想到“海纳百川，有容乃大”的译法：One should be as inclusive as the ocean, which is vast because it admits hundreds of rivers。
2. 掌握 draw upon的含义：to use information, experience, knowledge etc for a particular purpose。
