我们现在的全部工作都是在前任的基础上开始的。要居安思危，有备无患。我总记得一句古训：生于忧患，死于安乐。前人给我们奠定了很好的基础，但是摆在我们面前还有许多困难和问题，还要我们继续进行开创式的工作。
All of our work will have to be built on what our predecessors have achieved . We will have to be mindful of possible adversities and be prepared for the worst. Actually, I always pay a lot of attention to an ancient motto, that is, one prospers in worries and hardship, and perishes in ease and comfort. Our predecessors have already laid a very good foundation for us. Yet, we are still faced with numerous difficulties and problems ahead which requires innovation and creativity as we press ahead.
我想，当前摆在我们面前的主要问题：第一，农业发展滞后，农民收入增长缓慢，已经成为制约扩大内需的一个重要因素。
The first of the major problem we are faced with is the backward development of agriculture and slow increase of farmers' income. This has seriously constrained the expansion of China's domestic demand.
一部分企业经营困难，建立现代企业制度将是一个长期的任务，这是第二点。
Second, some enterprises face difficulties in their business operation and the establishment of a modern corporate system would be a long-term task.
第三，下岗和失业人口不断增加，社会保障的压力非常之大。
Third, the number of laid-off and unemployed workers keeps going up, causing tremendous pressure on the social security system.
第四，城乡发展不平衡，东西发展不平衡，还有相当一部分地区、相当一部分人口处于贫困状态。
Fourth, uneven development between the urban and rural areas and between the eastern and western regions of the country. There are still quite many regions and populations are on their poverty.
第五，财政负担沉重，金融不良资产比例较高。
Fifth, financial burden is heavy, and the proportion of non-performing assets or non-performing loans is quite high.
但是我们有改革开放20多年来奠定的雄厚物质技术基础，有安定团结的政治局面，只要坚持正确的路线和政策，我相信在以胡锦涛为总书记的党中央领导下，我们一定能够克服困难，实现全面建设小康的宏伟目标。
Nevertheless, we have at all already built strong material and technological bases as a result of 20 years of reform and opening up. So long as we have the right policies and guidelines, I am confident that under the leadership of CPC Central Committee, with Hu Jintao as general secretary, we will surely overcome all the difficulties and achieve the grand objective of building a well-off society in an all round way.
[德新社记者]：我是德新社（记者），朱镕基开始当总理的时候，他说不管前面是地雷阵还是万丈深渊，我都将鞠躬尽瘁，死而后已。那跟他比起来，你觉得你的工作风格会怎么样?谢谢。
I'm from DPA.When Premier Zhu Rongji just became premier, he said whatever lies ahead, be it a field of landmines or unfathomable abyss, he will exert all his efforts and contribute all his best to the country until the last minute of his life. Compared with his working style, what are the features of your working style?
[温家宝]：朱镕基总理是我非常敬佩的一个领导人，他有许多优点值得我学习。至于我自己，大家普遍认为我是一个温和的人。但同时，我又是一个有信念、有主见、敢负责的人。
I have a lot of respect for Premier Zhu. He has many strong points that I need to learn from him. As for myself, it is generally believed that I am quite mild-tempered. But, at the same time, I am someone who has deeply held convictions, who holds his grounds if it is consistent with his principles and who is confident and courageous enough to take up responsibilities.
在我当选以后，我心里总默念着林则徐的两句诗：苟利国家生死以，岂因祸福避趋之。
Since I became premier, I have been whispering two lines written by Lin Zexu (a patriotic Qing Dynasty official in the 19th century) to myself. And they are: I will do whatever it takes to serve my country even at the cost of my own life, regardless of fortune or misfortune to myself.
这就是我今后工作的态度。
This will be the attitude in which I will start my work.
