2024年的达沃斯小镇，早已完全没有了疫情的痕迹。前一年首度于疫后恢复冬季聚会传统时犹存的现场核酸要求，亦不复存在。然而，走出“后疫情”烙痕的世局却远非坦途，宛如1月15日—19日世界经济论坛2024年年会举行期间的达沃斯气象那样，多数时候雾霭沉沉，阳光只是短暂露面。
By 2024, the town of Davos had completely erased any traces of the pandemic. The requirement for on-site nucleic acid testing, which was still in place during the previous year's first post-pandemic winter gathering, no longer existed. However, navigating the world's recovery from the "post-pandemic" scars was far from a smooth journey, much like the weather in Davos during the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting held from January 15 to 19, 2024—most of the time shrouded in fog with only brief moments of sunshine.
今年的达沃斯峰会虽以“重建信任”为主题，似乎欲形塑人们终于挥别了人际和跨地域交往隔阂的乐观基调，然而尚未走出乌克兰战火阴霾的欧洲局势、全球有半数人口迎来大选年的政治热季，AI（人工智能）、深伪等新技术手段带来的社会信任问题，还有在地缘风险极端化倒逼下，许多国家被迫加速思考的能源转型进程，仍是这场有2800多名与会者和全球媒体云集的会议上频频触及的主题。
Although this year's Davos Summit was themed "Restoring Trust," seemingly setting an optimistic tone for people finally moving beyond the barriers to interpersonal and cross-regional communication, the shadow of the conflict in Ukraine still looms over Europe, and with half of the global population facing election years, political fervor is high. Issues such as societal trust challenges brought about by new technologies like AI (Artificial Intelligence) and deepfakes, as well as the energy transition processes that many countries are being forced to accelerate due to heightened geopolitical risks, remain frequent topics of discussion at this conference attended by more than 2,800 participants and global media.
当地时间1月16日上午，由中国国务院总理李强所作的特别致词，揭开了今年论坛议程启幕后的首场国际政要演讲。
On the morning of January 16 local time, a special address by Chinese Premier Li Qiang marked the first international political leader's speech following the opening of this year's forum agenda.
