外国人看中国

爱尔兰企业家发明家凯文·保罗：中国人民对科技进步的接受和适应能力令人惊叹

Irish entrepreneur-inventor Kevin Paul:

The receptivity and adaptability of the Chinese people to technological advances is amazing

大家好，我叫凯文·保罗。我是一个爱尔兰企业家、发明家。现在和我美丽的妻子高建敬住在里斯本。我想就中国过去三十年的努力和成就表达一下我的想法。

Hello everyone! My name is Kevin Paul, and I'm an Irish entrepreneur-inventor, living in Lisbon with my beautiful wife Jianjing Gao. And I would like to give my thoughts on China's efforts over the last thirty years.

中国致力于消除贫困，通过创造富有活力的经济环境来支持其人民、如今，中国在科技、医疗、建筑、农业、通讯等诸多领域都位居世界前列，每天都在向上发展变得越来越好。这样的努力成就了惊人的进步，如新的太空计划和对新冠病毒的迅速反应，包括国内和国际上疫苗生产和部署。

With its focus on ending poverty by creating a vibrant economy to support the people. China today is at the top table in technology, healthcare, construction, agriculture, communications to name just a few industries, and striving every day to get better and better, seven days a week. This effort has led to amazing advancements like the new space program and the Covid-19 response, including vaccine production and deployment in China and internationally.

当我第一次和我的妻子建敬去中国时，高家所有人都对我表示了亲切的欢迎，让我感到宾至如归。我爱上了传统的家庭生活方式，食物和街头小吃都很美味，与我在爱尔兰习惯吃到的中国食物完全不同。

When I first visited China with my wife-to-be Jianjing, I was given such a warm welcome by all the Gao family and made me feel at home. And I fell in love with the traditional family way of life. The food and the street food were amazing, completely different than the Chinese food I'd become used to in Ireland.

作为一个技术专家，最让我吃惊的是大众群体接受理解技术的方式，和电子商务在中国人生活中占据的举足轻重的位置。每个人都能很快地适应和跟上。我对中国人民在过去的100年里在生活中取得的惊人的变化表示祝福，我相信下一个一百年对中国和世界其他国家来说，都会有更大更好的变化。

As a technologist what amazes me the most is the way the entire population absorbs technology and the way e-commerce has taken hold in China, and everybody can adapt and move very quickly. I wish the Chinese people all the success for the amazing changes that they have made in their lives over the last 100 years and I am sure the next hundred years will only be a magnitude greater for both China and the rest of the world.

凯文·保罗与妻子高建敬Kevin Paul and his wife Jianjing Gao
