A New Multilateralism for the 21st Century: the Richard Dimbleby Lecture 21世纪新的多边主义：理查德?汀伯比演讲 ? Christine Lagarde, Managing Director, International Monetary Fund 国际货币基金组织总裁克里斯蒂娜·拉加德 ? London, February 3, 2014 2014年2月3日，伦敦 ? Good evening. It is a great honor to be invited to deliver this year’s Dimbleby Lecture, and I would like to thank the BBC and the Dimbleby family for so kindly inviting me—and especially David Dimbleby for his warm words of introduction. ? 各位晚上好。非常荣幸应邀做今年的汀伯比演讲，我要感谢英国广播公司和汀伯比一家的盛情邀请，还要特别感谢大卫·汀伯比热情的介绍辞。 ?
