VOA双语新闻 30th Anniversary of Communist Victory（在线收听）

Tens of thousands of Vietnamese soldiers and civilians turned out in the streets of Vietnam to commemorate the communist victory in the Vietnam War 30 years ago.

几万名越南军民走上街头，庆祝共产党赢得越南战争胜利30周年。

Vietnamese troops marched down the wide boulevards of Ho Chi Minh City Saturday, tracing the path taken by tanks 30 years ago as the victorious North Vietnamese Army entered the city - then known as Saigon - and toppled the U.S-backed South Vietnamese regime.

星期六，越南军队列队走过胡志明市的宽阔大道，他们行进的路线是30年前北越军队的坦克乘胜入城的线路。当时，这座城市称为西贡，是美国支持的南越政府的首都。

Leaders of Vietnam's ruling Communist Party looked on as soldiers marched with red flags to South Vietnam's old presidential palace, where tanks of the victorious invaders smashed through the gates on April 30, 1975. The city was renamed Ho Chi Minh City, after the late leader of the communist revolution, the next year.

执政的越南共产党的领导人看着军人打着红旗进入前南越总统府。1975年4月30号，北越坦克撞破了总统府大门。南越政府投降。西贡在第二年被命名为胡志明市，以纪念已故的共产党革命领袖胡志明。

Despite the inescapable martial overtones, however, Saturday's festivities emphasized the future and Vietnam's economic advances, rather than merely dwelling on the past.

虽然星期六的庆祝活动少不了要宣传军威，但是同时也强调了放眼未来并且突显越南在经济领域的进步，而不是仅仅抱住过去不放。

The southern commercial city is now the principal center for investment in Vietnam's booming economy, accounting for 40 percent of exports and industrial output. That is an achievement government officials have been talking about this week almost as much as the victory there 30 years ago.

越南的经济日益繁荣，而南方商业重镇胡志明市已经成为首要投资中心，越南百分之40的出口和工业产值都来自胡志明市。本星期，政府官员在大讲特讲三十年前的辉煌胜利的同时，也在不断地提到胡志明市取得的经济成就。

President Tran Duc Luong praised Ho Chi Minh City's strength, calling it the "engine" of the economy, and urging young people to mobilize to build a prosperous nation.

越南国家主席陈德良赞扬了胡志明市的实力，称它为经济“火车头”，并敦促年轻人动员起来，建设一个繁荣的越南。

Prime Minister Phan Van Khai spoke here in Hanoi on Friday, where the commemoration began. He urged young Vietnamese to build the economy under the government's so-called "doi moi" economic reforms, with the same vigor their parents showed in the wars against French colonialists and American soldiers.

纪念仪式是在河内开始的，总理潘文凯星期五在河内讲话，他敦促越南年轻人拿出他们的先辈和法国殖民者与美国兵打仗时的那种勇气，响应政府的经济改革，积极投身经济建设。

Mr. Khai says the strength of Vietnam's national unity is the root of the country's victory in two wars against invaders. He says it is also the main factor bringing success in the "doi moi" process.

潘文凯说，越南经过两次战争，打败了两个侵略者，这其中的力量源泉是国家的团结。他说，改革成功的关键也在于团结。

Saturday's ceremonies reflected the dual themes of communist victory and economic success. Giant posters of Ho Chi Minh were everywhere, but one float advertised a new mega-supermarket. Raul Castro, Cuba's defense minister and brother of Fidel Castro, stood by his communist brethren in Ho Chi Minh City, but he watched floats sponsored by American companies passing by.

星期六的庆祝仪式既宣传共产党的胜利，也反映了经济的成功。胡志明的巨幅画像随处可见，古巴最高领袖卡斯特罗的弟弟、国防部长劳尔·卡斯特罗和他的越南共产党同志一道出席了胡志明市的庆祝活动，不过，从他眼前经过的游行花车，却是由美国公司赞助的。

The United States is now Vietnam's largest single trading partner, accounting for nearly a quarter of exports. Last year, bilateral trade between the countries was $4 billion.

美国如今是越南最大的贸易夥伴，越南出口产品的近四分之一都流向美国。去年，双边贸易达到了40亿美元。

Thirty years after the Vietnam War ended, the former enemies now find themselves united by trade.

越南战争结束后的三十年，昔日的敌人如今因为贸易而走到了一起。
