2018年4月24日上午，習(xí)近平總書記從北京直飛湖北宜昌。一下飛機(jī)便前往長江沿岸考察調(diào)研長江生態(tài)環(huán)境修復(fù)工作，走進(jìn)化工廠、訪問移民村、考察三峽大壩。

在考察和走訪過程中，習(xí)近平這些話成為媒體紛紛引用的“金句”。

國家要強(qiáng)大、民族要復(fù)興，必須靠我們自己砥礪奮進(jìn)、不懈奮斗。

The great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation can only be achieved through untiring struggle.

我們要靠自己的努力，大國重器必須掌握在自己手里。

We must rely on our own efforts, and hold the great strength in our hands.

核心技術(shù)、關(guān)鍵技術(shù)，化緣是化不來的，要靠自己拼搏。

To get core and key technology, begging alms won't work. We must rely on our own hard work.

4月25日上午，習(xí)近平總書記驅(qū)車一個半小時，從宜昌前往荊州。在荊州港碼頭登上輪船，順江而下，考察長江。船行4個小時，抵達(dá)石首港。隨后，他又驅(qū)車一個多小時，深入到長江湖南岳陽段考察。

他指出：

修復(fù)長江生態(tài)環(huán)境，是新時代賦予我們的艱巨任務(wù)，也是人民群眾的熱切期盼。

Restoration of the river's ecological environment is an arduous task that the new era has entrusted to us and the high expectations of the people.

絕不容許長江生態(tài)環(huán)境在我們這一代人手上繼續(xù)惡化下去，一定要給子孫后代留下一條清潔美麗的萬里長江！

We must not allow the ecological environment of the Yangtze River to continue deteriorating in the hands of our generation, and we must leave our descendants a clean and beautiful Yangtze River.

26日下午，習(xí)近平主持召開深入推動長江經(jīng)濟(jì)帶發(fā)展座談會。聽取大家發(fā)言后，習(xí)近平發(fā)表了重要講話。

他強(qiáng)調(diào)：

必須從中華民族長遠(yuǎn)利益考慮，把修復(fù)長江生態(tài)環(huán)境擺在壓倒性位置，共抓大保護(hù)、不搞大開發(fā)。

We must proceed from the long-term interests of the Chinese nation to put restoring the ecological environment of the Yangtze River at a dominant position, making all-out efforts to protect it, and forbidding large-scale development of the river.

努力把長江經(jīng)濟(jì)帶建設(shè)成為生態(tài)更優(yōu)美、交通更順暢、經(jīng)濟(jì)更協(xié)調(diào)、市場更統(tǒng)一、機(jī)制更科學(xué)的黃金經(jīng)濟(jì)帶。

The aim is to build the economic belt into a golden economic belt featuring more beautiful ecology, more smooth transport, more coordinated economy, more integrated market and more scientific mechanisms.

習(xí)近平明確提出了推動長江經(jīng)濟(jì)帶發(fā)展需要正確把握的5個關(guān)系。

第一，正確把握整體推進(jìn)和重點突破的關(guān)系，全面做好長江生態(tài)環(huán)境保護(hù)修復(fù)工作。

First, efforts should be made to properly deal with the relationship between pressing ahead on the whole and making breakthroughs in key areas, so as to protect and restore the ecological environment of the Yangtze River in all aspects.

第二，正確把握生態(tài)環(huán)境保護(hù)和經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展的關(guān)系，探索協(xié)同推進(jìn)生態(tài)優(yōu)先和綠色發(fā)展新路子。

Second, efforts should be made to properly deal with the relationship between ecological environment protection and economic development, and explore a new path which puts ecology first while pursuing green development.

第三，正確把握總體謀劃和久久為功的關(guān)系，堅定不移將一張藍(lán)圖干到底。

Third, efforts should be made to properly deal with the relationship between making an overall plan and making unremitting efforts, and stick to a single blueprint until the end.

第四，正確把握破除舊動能和培育新動能的關(guān)系，推動長江經(jīng)濟(jì)帶建設(shè)現(xiàn)代化經(jīng)濟(jì)體系。

Fourth, efforts should be made to properly deal with the relationship between getting rid of old growth engines and cultivating new engines, and facilitate the establishment of a modern economic system for the Yangtze River economic belt.

第五，正確把握自身發(fā)展和協(xié)同發(fā)展的關(guān)系，努力將長江經(jīng)濟(jì)帶打造成為有機(jī)融合的高效經(jīng)濟(jì)體。

Finally, efforts should be made to properly deal with the relationship between developing individually and developing in a coordinated way so as to make the economic belt an efficient economic entity.
