上个世纪50年代末到70年代后期,中国与阿尔巴尼亚之间曾有过一段近20年异乎寻常的特殊关系。这种关系一度被双方最高领导人称为“海内存知己,天涯若比邻”,“坚固如钢铁,纯净若水晶”;还被双方形容为“团结在一起,战斗在一起,胜利在一起”。这段历史的经历者和见证人之——范承祚先生,对于从那个时代走过来的人来说恐怕也不陌生,因为他作为老一代国家领导人的高级翻译经常出现在新闻媒体上。 In the late 1950s and the late 1970s, China and Albania had had an extraordinary special relationship for nearly 20 years. This relationship was once described by the top leaders of both sides as “the memory of the sea, the proximity of the earth,” “strong as steel, pure crystal” and also described by both parties as “uniting together, fighting together, and triumphing together.” Mr. Fan Chenghuan, the experienced and witness of this history, is probably no stranger to those who came from that era, as his senior translator, often the leader of an older generation, often appears in the news media.
