“我到中国任大使前,我担任以色列国家体育部部长,所以我到中国,我发现中国体育很强,中国在奥运会上得到很多奖牌。中国不仅仅是一个国家,中国其实是一个洲--亚洲,我到过中国的二十多个城市,看到大家都在努力的工作,以此来改善自己的命运。所以中国发展很快。”马腾大使说。
H.E. Mr. Matan Vilnai answered that prior to my term as the Ambassador to China; I was the Minister of the National Sports Department. After arriving China, I found a strong sporting environment and many great athletes in China who won countless gold medals from various competitions and games. China is not just a country, it is indeed a continent - Asia. I have been to over two dozen cities in China; I can see that the Chinese people are very hard working for improving their destiny. As a result, China has experienced rapid development in many areas."
以色列国家没有石油、没有森林,有的只是大脑的智慧。小记者问:”犹太人为什么那么聪明?”马腾大使微笑说:“这个问题是没有答案的,我们有时候也是自己问自己,但是没有答案。”

The Ambassador smiled and said: "There is no answer to this question, we sometimes also aske the same question to ourselves but we couldn’t get the answer as well."
