More than 20 countries are waiting to join the China-initiated Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB), its designated president said Saturday as he allayed concerns it was aimed to challenge US and Japanese influence in the region.
20多个国家等着加入中国发起的亚投行，亚投行行长说，他此番话是为了减轻人们对其挑战美国和日本影响力的忧虑。
The number could bring the AIIB on a par with or even surpass membership in the Japan-led Asian Development Bank (ADB), which currently has 67 members, 19 of them outside of the Asia Pacific, according to its website.
这些国家使得亚投行的成员数与日本领导的目前有67个成员国的亚洲开发银行持平甚至超过，而亚洲开发银行的成员国有19个在亚太以外。
“We have 57 countries (which are potential founding members) and to my knowledge…more than 20 countries are on the waiting list,” AIIB president-designate Jin Liqun told delegates of the Singapore Summit conference, without naming them.
“我们有57个成员国，据我了解…超过20个国家在候选之列。”亚投行行长金立群对参加新加坡峰会的代表说，但是他没有说出那些国家的名字。
“That makes it more than 70. I’m sure there will be more countries which will be interested,” added Jin, a former Chinese vice finance minister who was put forward by Beijing to head the bank and was elected in August by the prospective founding members.
“这使得成员国数超过70。我确信更多国家会感兴趣的。”金说。金以前是副财政部长，北京推选他为行长，并于8月被未来的创始成员国选举为行长。

Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) and the New Development Bank (BRICS Bank) both will be substantial on the world stage. Asia is restoring splendidly, possibly after 2019 East Asia will be the new world center. AIIB has potential to become largest bank of the world after 2039.
亚投行和金砖国家在世界舞台上都将是重要存在。亚洲在恢复往日的光彩，可能2019年后，东亚会成为新的世界中心。
2039年后，亚投行有潜力成为世界最大的银行
Asia had been invaded brutally by barbarous European countries; lots of precious cultural and historical relics have been destroyed. The evil European countries also kidnapped and abused 25 million good African people as black
slaves; and killed each other in World War I and II.
过去，亚洲受到野蛮欧洲的残酷入侵，大量宝贵的文化和历史遗迹被破坏。
邪恶的欧洲国家绑架并虐待了2500万非洲人当奴隶
在第一次和第二次世界大战中彼此展开杀戮
1857 heroes, martyrs and children of India were murdered, Indian must remember this. However Asia must unite together for peace, prosperity and dignity. More countries to join AIIB would be a wonderful thing.
1857位印度英雄和孩子被杀掉。印度人必须永远记住。
然而， 为了和平、繁荣与尊严，亚洲必须团结起来。
越来越多国家加入亚投行是一件好事
