法國前總理讓-皮埃爾·拉法蘭近日接受中新網(wǎng)記者專訪時表示，中法兩國文明歷史悠久，源遠流長，但現(xiàn)代人對兩種文明的差異性了解并不夠。過去幾十年，中國人民為現(xiàn)代化事業(yè)努力奮斗，中國發(fā)生了翻天覆地的變化，但這些在歐洲還沒有被足夠多的人了解到。 因此，拉法蘭主張面向兩國青年人開設(shè)外語學(xué)習(xí)項目，促進互相理解、增進文明交流。(彭大偉 葛勇 趙麗)

　　Former French Prime Minister Jean-Pierre Raffarin said in an interview with ECNS that the civilizations of both China and France have a long and profound history, but modern people do not fully grasp the differences between the two civilizations. Over the past few decades, the Chinese people have shown remarkable courage in paving the way for modernization, and China has undergone tremendous changes, however, much of this is not widely known by the Europeans, Raffarin noted. “Encouraging the study of Chinese in Europe and promoting the learning of French in Asia and China is of paramount importance. Only through such initiatives can we delve more deeply into mutual understanding,” he said.
