习近平总书记在庆祝中国共产党成立100周年大会上的讲话 Part.23

同志们、朋友们！

Comrades and friends,

一百年前，中国共产党成立时只有50多名党员，今天已经成为拥有9500多万名党员、领导着14亿多人口大国、具有重大全球影响力的世界第一大执政党。

A century ago, at the time of its founding, the Communist Party of China had just over 50 members. Today, with more than 95 million members in a country of more than 1.4 billion people, it is the largest governing party in the world and enjoys tremendous international influence.

  • 重大全球影响力 tremendous international influence
  • 第一大执政党 the largest governing party

一百年前，中华民族呈现在世界面前的是一派衰败凋零的景象。今天，中华民族向世界展现的是一派欣欣向荣的气象，正以不可阻挡的步伐迈向伟大复兴。

A century ago, China was in decline and withering away in the eyes of the world. Today, the image it presents to the world is one of a thrivingnation that is advancing with unstoppable momentum toward rejuvenation.

  • 衰败凋零 be in decline and withering away
  • 欣欣向荣 thriving
  • 不可阻挡的步伐 unstoppable momentum

中华民族伟大复兴 National rejuvenation

过去一百年，中国共产党向人民、向历史交出了一份优异的答卷。现在，中国共产党团结带领中国人民又踏上了实现第二个百年奋斗目标新的赶考之路。
