“對(duì)重慶，從來沒感到過陌生”
——訪匈牙利共和國(guó)駐重慶總領(lǐng)事館臨時(shí)代辦南英杰

文/本刊記者 成海楊

記者：你在中國(guó)待了有8年的時(shí)間，這期間是否來過重慶，對(duì)重慶有什么印象？

南英杰：是的。我在中國(guó)一共待了8年的時(shí)間。1988年—1992年在北京的芳草地小學(xué)學(xué)習(xí)，因?yàn)楫?dāng)時(shí)我父親在匈牙利大使館工作，所以有機(jī)會(huì)來到中國(guó)學(xué)習(xí)。在中國(guó)讀小學(xué)對(duì)我的漢語學(xué)習(xí)有著非常大的幫助?；氐叫傺览院笪乙惨恢痹趫?jiān)持學(xué)習(xí)中文，在羅蘭大學(xué)學(xué)習(xí)時(shí)也是就讀的中文專業(yè)。大學(xué)畢業(yè)以后就到匈牙利外交部亞太司中國(guó)組工作。

2007年1月份正式到匈牙利駐華大使館 擔(dān)任新聞官的工作，到現(xiàn)在有3年多的時(shí)間，直到今年才被調(diào)來重慶負(fù)責(zé)這邊的工作。

我在北京工作期間沒有來過重慶，但在2009年不管在任何地方，不管是中國(guó)的報(bào)紙、網(wǎng)絡(luò)、廣播，還是外國(guó)的BBC、CNN都能看到有關(guān)重慶打黑的消息。做為經(jīng)常和媒體打交道的新聞官員，我也看到過重慶打黑和建設(shè)五個(gè)重慶的報(bào)道，并在其它一些場(chǎng)合看到過重慶的宣傳材料，通過這些途徑我能感覺到重慶是一個(gè)很有魅力的城市，雖然之前沒來過重慶，但是對(duì)這里我從來都沒感到陌生。

記者：您來重慶已經(jīng)有一段時(shí)間了，請(qǐng)談一談在重慶的感受，喜歡重慶嗎？

南英杰：我是1月25號(hào)到達(dá)重慶，到現(xiàn)在有幾個(gè)月的時(shí)間了，對(duì)重慶也有了進(jìn)一步的了解，并且也慢慢的喜歡上了這座有著幾千年歷史的現(xiàn)代都市。

初到重慶讓我感觸比較深的有三個(gè)方面。第一，重慶的綠化特別好，走到哪里都是綠色的。在我走下飛機(jī)的瞬間，綠色的樹木，美麗的花草頓時(shí)映入我的眼簾，讓我對(duì)這座神奇的城市充滿了好感。第二，重慶人多、車多、街窄，走到哪里都特別熱鬧。第三，就是在語言方面有點(diǎn)不是特別適應(yīng)。剛來重慶對(duì)當(dāng)?shù)胤窖赃€有些聽不懂，并且在說普通話方面也跟其他地方有點(diǎn)差異。不過現(xiàn)在我也正在學(xué)習(xí)“重慶普通話”，爭(zhēng)取早點(diǎn)融入到重慶人的生活當(dāng)中。

記者：是什么吸引匈牙利政府來重慶設(shè)立總領(lǐng)事館？總領(lǐng)館的設(shè)立又能給重慶市民帶來哪些便利？

南英杰：在2月4日匈牙利共和國(guó)駐重慶總領(lǐng)事館開館之時(shí)，匈牙利外長(zhǎng)鮑拉日·彼得就說過，之所以選擇在重慶設(shè)館，是因?yàn)樾傺览麑?duì)重慶的經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展有著強(qiáng)烈興趣，相信重慶未來有許多潛在的機(jī)遇。

匈牙利既是歐盟成員國(guó)又是申根成員國(guó)，不管在哪個(gè)城市設(shè)立領(lǐng)事館都能帶來很多好處。駐重慶總領(lǐng)館的工作室裝修完畢后就會(huì)開始在重慶發(fā)放申根簽證，這對(duì)于那些對(duì)歐洲有著濃厚興趣的重慶市民來說有著非常大的幫助和便利。

記者：匈牙利共和國(guó)總領(lǐng)館剛剛在重慶設(shè)立，總領(lǐng)事館在重慶與匈牙利的經(jīng)濟(jì)、政治、文化、教育的溝通與交流中將扮演什么角色，具體有哪些工作計(jì)劃？

南英杰：匈牙利共和國(guó)總領(lǐng)事館在重慶與匈牙利的交往中主要起著牽線搭橋的作用， 通過我們讓雙方加強(qiáng)了解。2月4日匈牙利外長(zhǎng)訪問重慶時(shí)總領(lǐng)事館就舉行了開館儀式，總領(lǐng)館工作的第一部分也就結(jié)束了。第二部我們工作的重點(diǎn)就是要完成總領(lǐng)館的裝修工作，因?yàn)橹挥邪压ぷ鞯沫h(huán)境準(zhǔn)備好了，其它各環(huán)節(jié)的工作才能更好的開展。

記者：據(jù)悉，到現(xiàn)在為止還沒有重慶企業(yè)到匈牙利投資，您會(huì)在重慶企業(yè)到匈牙利投資方面做出哪些努力？

南英杰：中國(guó)西南部與歐洲中東部之間的交流發(fā)展并不多，應(yīng)該加強(qiáng)雙方的交流。而這也正是總領(lǐng)館在中國(guó)西南部設(shè)立的原因之一。

記者：匈牙利一直在采取各種有效措施優(yōu)化投資環(huán)境，所以匈牙利也是中東歐地區(qū)人均吸引外資最多的國(guó)家之一，能不能介紹一下匈牙利的投資環(huán)境，相對(duì)其他歐洲國(guó)家匈牙利又有哪些優(yōu)勢(shì)？

南英杰：匈牙利地處歐洲中部，交通便利就是最好的投資環(huán)境和最大的優(yōu)勢(shì)。從匈牙利到波蘭港口、地中海港口、黑海港口，乘坐火車均只需要幾個(gè)小時(shí)便可到達(dá)，如果乘坐飛機(jī)，2個(gè)小時(shí)之內(nèi)可以到達(dá)歐洲的任何地方。

如果中國(guó)企業(yè)想在歐洲建立物流中心或者是大型倉(cāng)庫，那么匈牙利肯定是首選。匈牙利的對(duì)華政策里面還包括很多對(duì)中國(guó)商人的優(yōu)惠政策，所以也歡迎重慶的企業(yè)到匈牙利投資。

記者：匈牙利的旅游資源豐富，是世界上最吸引人的15個(gè)國(guó)家之一，請(qǐng)介紹一下匈牙利的旅游情況，有哪些景點(diǎn)要推薦給重慶市民？

南英杰：匈牙利的國(guó)土面積雖然不大，但卻是個(gè)旅游大國(guó)。坐落在多瑙河畔的首都布達(dá)佩斯是歐洲著名的古城，風(fēng)光無限，有“多瑙河上的明珠”之美譽(yù)。歐洲最大的淡水湖巴拉頓湖也是吸引大批游客的一個(gè)亮點(diǎn)。另外，匈牙利的葡萄美酒也為這個(gè)國(guó)家增光添彩，以其歷史悠久、酒味醇香聞名于世。

匈牙利的醫(yī)療溫泉在世界上也是比較著名的，在匈牙利幾乎在任何地方，只要往地下鉆孔，總是會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)溫泉泉源。

記者：現(xiàn)在匈牙利的中國(guó)留學(xué)生多嗎？如果市民想去留學(xué)需要具備什么條件，申根簽證辦理會(huì)不會(huì)很復(fù)雜？

南英杰：現(xiàn)在匈牙利大概有2萬多華人，中東歐最大的華人團(tuán)體也在布達(dá)佩斯，但在匈牙利留學(xué)的中國(guó)留學(xué)生還不夠多。

對(duì)于去匈牙利留學(xué)的條件也沒有什么特別的要求，和其它申根國(guó)家是一樣的。匈牙利有1000多萬人口，獲得諾貝爾獎(jiǎng)的就有14個(gè)，人均獲諾貝爾獎(jiǎng)的比例在世界上是最高的，由此也可以反映出匈牙利的教育系統(tǒng)是非常完善的，所以非常歡迎重慶的學(xué)生到匈牙利去學(xué)習(xí)。

因?yàn)樾傺览巧旮蓡T國(guó)，申根簽證的辦理已經(jīng)不只是匈牙利內(nèi)部的事務(wù)，它也涉及到其它申根成員國(guó)的利益問題，所以在 手續(xù)辦理上要多一點(diǎn)，但是并不是很麻煩，并且拿到簽證以后帶來的好處也將更多，比如持有申根簽證的個(gè)人可以到其他申根成員國(guó)去旅游而不需要另外申請(qǐng)簽證，這將給簽證持有人帶來巨大的便利。

Jou rna list: You spen t 8 yea rs in Ch ina, d id you have the op po rtun ity to v isit Chongq ing du ring th is tim e? W ha t w as yo u r firs t im p ress ion abo u t Chongq ing be fo re?
