奧巴馬訪華復(fù)旦大學(xué)演講稿英漢對照全文

Good afternoon.It is a great honor for me to be here in Shanghai, and to have this opportunity to speak with all of you.I'd like to thank Fudan University's President Yang for his hospitality and his gracious welcome.I'd also like to thank our outstanding Ambassador, Jon Huntsman, who exemplifies the deep ties and respect between our nations.I don't know what he said, but I hope it was good.(Laughter.)What I'd like to do is to make some opening remarks, and then what I'm really looking forward to doing is taking questions, not only from students who are in the audience, but also we've received questions online, which will be asked by some of the students who are here in the audience, as well as by Ambassador Huntsman.And I am very sorry that my Chinese is not as good as your English, but I am looking forward to this chance to have a dialogue.This is my first time traveling to China, and I'm excited to see this majestic country.Here, in Shanghai, we see the growth that has caught the attention of the world--the soaring skyscrapers, the bustling streets and entrepreneurial activity.And just as I'm impressed by these signs of China's journey to the 21st century, I'm eager to see those ancient places that speak to us from China's distant past.Tomorrow and the next day I hope to have a chance when I'm in Beijing to see the majesty of the Forbidden City and the wonder of the Great Wall.Truly, this is a nation that encompasses both a rich history and a belief in the promise of the future.The same can be said of the relationship between our two countries.Shanghai, of course, is a city that has great meaning in the history of the relationship between the United States and China.It was here, 37 years ago, that the Shanghai Communique opened the door to a new chapter of engagement between our governments and among our people.However, America's ties to this city--and to this country--stretch back further, to the earliest days of America's independence.In 1784, our founding father, George Washington, commissioned the Empress of China, a ship that set sail for these shores so that it could pursue trade with the Qing Dynasty.Washington wanted to see the ship carry the flag around the globe, and to forge new ties with nations like China.This is a common American impulse--the desire to reach for new horizons, and to forge new partnerships that are mutually beneficial.Over the two centuries that have followed, the currents of history have steered the relationship between our countries in many directions.And even in the midst of tumultuous winds, our people had opportunities to forge deep and even dramatic ties.For instance, Americans will never forget the hospitality shown to our pilots who were shot down over your soil during World War II, and cared for by Chinese civilians who risked all that they had by doing so.And Chinese veterans of that war still warmly greet those American veterans who return to the sites where they fought to help liberate China from occupation.A different kind of connection was made nearly 40 years ago when the frost between our countries began to thaw through the simple game of table tennis.The very unlikely nature of this engagement contributed to its success--because for all our differences, both our common humanity and our shared curiosity were revealed.As one American player described his visit to China--“[The]people are just like us…The country is very similar to America, but still very different.” Of course this small opening was followed by the achievement of the Shanghai Communique, and the eventual establishment of formal relations between the United States and China in 1979.And in three decades, just look at how far we have come.In 1979, trade between the United States and China stood at roughly $5 billion--today it tops over $400 billion each year.The commerce affects our people's lives in so many ways.America imports from China many of the computer parts we use, the clothes we wear;and we export to China machinery that helps power your industry.This trade could create even more jobs on both sides of the Pacific, while allowing our people to enjoy a better quality of life.And as demand becomes more balanced, it can lead to even broader prosperity.In 1979, the political cooperation between the United States and China was rooted largely in our shared rivalry with the Soviet Union.Today, we have a positive, constructive and comprehensive relationship that opens the door to partnership on the key global issues of our time--economic recovery and the development of clean energy;stopping the spread of nuclear weapons and the scourge of climate change;the promotion of peace and security in Asia and around the globe.All of these issues will be on the agenda tomorrow when I meet with President Hu.And in 1979, the connections among our people were limited.Today, we see the curiosity of those ping-pong players manifested in the ties that are being forged across many sectors.The second highest number of foreign students in the United States come from China, and we've seen a 50 percent increase in the study of Chinese among our own students.There are nearly 200 “friendship cities” drawing our communities together.American and Chinese scientists cooperate on new research and discovery.And of course, Yao Ming is just one signal of our shared love of basketball--I'm only sorry that I won't be able to see a Shanghai Sharks game while I'm visiting.It is no coincidence that the relationship between our countries has accompanied a period of positive change.China has lifted hundreds of millions of people out of poverty--an accomplishment unparalleled in human history--while playing a larger role in global events.And the United States has seen our economy grow along with the standard of living enjoyed by our people, while bringing the Cold War to a successful conclusion.There is a Chinese proverb: “Consider the past, and you shall know the future.” Surely, we have known setbacks and challenges over the last 30 years.Our relationship has not been without disagreement and difficulty.But the notion that we must be adversaries is not predestined--not when we consider the past.Indeed, because of our cooperation, both the United States and China are more prosperous and more secure.We have seen what is possible when we build upon our mutual interests, and engage on the basis of mutual respect.And yet the success of that engagement depends upon understanding--on sustaining an open dialogue, and learning about one another and from one another.For just as that American table tennis player pointed out--we share much in common as human beings, but our countries are different in certain ways.I believe that each country must chart its own course.China is an ancient nation, with a deeply rooted culture.The United States, by comparison, is a young nation, whose culture is determined by the many different immigrants who have come to our shores, and by the founding documents that guide our democracy.Those documents put forward a simple vision of human affairs, and they enshrine several core principles--that all men and women are created equal, and possess certain fundamental rights;that government should reflect the will of the people and respond to their wishes;that commerce should be open, information freely accessible;and that laws, and not simply men, should guarantee the administration of justice.Of course, the story of our nation is not without its difficult chapters.In many ways--over many years--we have struggled to advance the promise of these principles to all of our people, and to forge a more perfect union.We fought a very painful civil war, and freed a portion of our population from slavery.It took time for women to be extended the right to vote, workers to win the right to organize, and for immigrants from different corners of the globe to be fully embraced.Even after they were freed, African Americans persevered through conditions that were separate and not equal, before winning full and equal rights.None of this was easy.But we made progress because of our belief in those core principles, which have served as our compass through the darkest of storms.That is why Lincoln could stand up in the midst of civil war and declare it a struggle to see whether any nation, conceived in liberty, and “dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal” could long endure.That is why Dr.Martin Luther King could stand on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial and ask that our nation live out the true meaning of its creed.That's why immigrants from China to Kenya could find a home on our shores;why opportunity is available to all who would work for it;and why someone like me, who less than 50 years ago would have had trouble voting in some parts of America, is now able to serve as its President.And that is why America will always speak out for these core principles around the world.We do not seek to impose any system of government on any other nation, but we also don't believe that the principles that we stand for are unique to our nation.These freedoms of expression and worship--of access to information and political participation--we believe are universal rights.They should be available to all people, including ethnic and religious minorities--whether they are in the United States, China, or any nation.Indeed, it is that respect for universal rights that guides America's openness to other countries;our respect for different cultures;our commitment to international law;and our faith in the future.These are all things that you should know about America.I also know that we have much to learn about China.Looking around at this magnificent city--and looking around this room--I do believe that our nations hold something important in common, and that is a belief in the future.Neither the United States nor China is content to rest on our achievements.For while China is an ancient nation, you are also clearly looking ahead with confidence, ambition, and a commitment to see that tomorrow's generation can do better than today's.In addition to your growing economy, we admire China's extraordinary commitment to science and research--a commitment borne out in everything from the infrastructure you build to the technology you use.China is now the world's largest Internet user--which is why we were so pleased to include the Internet as a part of today's event.This country now has the world's largest mobile phone network, and it is investing in the new forms of energy that can both sustain growth and combat climate change--and I'm looking forward to deepening the partnership between the United States and China in this critical area tomorrow.But above all, I see China's future in you--young people whose talent and dedication and dreams will do so much to help shape the 21st century.I've said many times that I believe that our world is now fundamentally interconnected.The jobs we do, the prosperity we build, the environment we protect, the security that we seek--all of these things are shared.And given that interconnection, power in the 21st century is no longer a zero-sum game;one country's success need not come at the expense of another.And that is why the United States insists we do not seek to contain China's rise.On the contrary, we welcome China as a strong and prosperous and successful member of the community of nations--a China that draws on the rights, strengths, and creativity of individual Chinese like you.To return to the proverb--consider the past.We know that more is to be gained when great powers cooperate than when they collide.That is a lesson that human beings have learned time and again, and that is the example of the history between our nations.And I believe strongly that cooperation must go beyond our government.It must be rooted in our people--in the studies we share, the business that we do, the knowledge that we gain, and even in the sports that we play.And these bridges must be built by young men and women just like you and your counterparts in America.That's why I'm pleased to announce that the United States will dramatically expand the number of our students who study in China to 100,000.And these exchanges mark a clear commitment to build ties among our people, as surely as you will help determine the destiny of the 21st century.And I'm absolutely confident that America has no better ambassadors to offer than our young people.For they, just like you, are filled with talent and energy and optimism about the history that is yet to be written.So let this be the next step in the steady pursuit of cooperation that will serve our nations, and the world.And if there's one thing that we can take from today's dialogue, I hope that it is a commitment to continue this dialogue going forward.So thank you very much.And I look forward now to taking some questions from all of you.Thank you very much.(Applause.)奧巴馬訪華在復(fù)旦演講稿英漢對照全文 美國總統(tǒng)奧巴馬在上海與中國青年對話”演講全文 你好。諸位下午好。我感到很榮幸能夠有機(jī)會到上海跟你們交談，我要感謝復(fù)旦大學(xué)的楊校長，感謝他的款待和熱情的歡迎。我還想感謝我們精彩的大使洪博培，他是我們兩國間深厚的紐帶。我不知道他剛才說什么，但是希望他說得很好。

我今天預(yù)備這樣，先做一個開場白，我真正希望做的是回答在座的問題，不但回答在座的學(xué)生問題，同時還可以從網(wǎng)上得到一些問題，由在座的一些學(xué)生和洪博培大使代為提問。很抱歉，我的中文遠(yuǎn)不如你們的英文，所以我期待和你們的對話。這是我首次訪問中國，我看到你們博大的國家，感到很高興。在上海這里，我們看到了矚目的增長，高聳的塔樓，繁忙的街道，還有企業(yè)家的精神。這些都是中國步入21世紀(jì)的跡象，讓我感到驚嘆。同時我也急切的要看到向我們展現(xiàn)中國古老的古跡，明天和后天我要到北京去看宏偉壯麗的故宮和令人嘆為觀止的長城，這個國度既有豐富的歷史，又有對未來憧憬的信念。

而我們兩國的關(guān)系也是如此，上海在美中關(guān)系的歷史中是個具有意義的重大城市，在30年前，《上海公報》打開了我們兩國政府和兩國人民接觸交往的新的篇章。

不過美國與這個國家的紐帶可以追溯更久遠(yuǎn)的過去，追溯到美國獨(dú)立的初期，喬治-華盛頓組織了皇后號的下水儀式，這個船成功前往大清王朝，華盛頓希望看到這艘船前往各地，與中國結(jié)成新的紐帶。希望中國開辟新的地平線，建立新的伙伴關(guān)系。在其后的兩個世紀(jì)中，歷史洪流使我們兩國關(guān)系向許多不同的方向發(fā)展，而即使在最動蕩的方向中，我們的兩國人民打造深的，甚至有戲劇性的紐帶，比如美國人永遠(yuǎn)不會忘記，在二戰(zhàn)期間，美國飛行員在中國上空被擊落后，當(dāng)?shù)厝嗣駥λ麄兊目畲?，中國公民冒著失去一切的危險罩著他們。而參加二戰(zhàn)的老兵仍舊歡迎故地重游的美國老兵，他們在那里參戰(zhàn)。40年前，我們兩國間開啟了又一種聯(lián)系，兩國關(guān)系開始解凍，通過乒乓球的比賽解凍關(guān)系。我們兩國之間有著分歧，但是我們也有著共同的人性及有著共同的好奇，就像一位乒乓球運(yùn)動員一樣，那時的國家就是一樣，但是這個小小的開頭帶來了《上海公報》的問世，最終還帶來了美中在1979年建交。在其后的30年我們又取得了長足的進(jìn)展，1979年美中貿(mào)易只有50億美元，現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)超過了4000億美元。

貿(mào)易在許多方面影響人民的生活，比如美國電腦中許多部件，還有穿的衣服都是從中國進(jìn)口的，我們向中國出口中國工業(yè)要使用的機(jī)器，這種貿(mào)易可以在太平洋兩岸創(chuàng)造更多的就業(yè)機(jī)會，讓我們的人民過上質(zhì)量更高的生活。

在需求趨于平衡的過程中，這種貿(mào)易可以是更廣闊的貿(mào)易。如今我們有著積極合作和全面的關(guān)系，為我們在當(dāng)前重大的全球問題上建立伙伴關(guān)系打開了大門，這些問題包括經(jīng)濟(jì)復(fù)蘇、潔凈能源的開發(fā)、制止核武器擴(kuò)散以及應(yīng)對氣候變化。還有在亞洲及全球各地促進(jìn)和平和穩(wěn)定，所有這些問題我明天與胡主席會談時都會談到。1979年的時候，我們兩國人民的聯(lián)系十分有限，如今當(dāng)年乒乓球運(yùn)動員的好奇可以在許多領(lǐng)域建立的聯(lián)系中都可以看到，在美國數(shù)量最多的留學(xué)生都來自中國。而在美國的學(xué)生中，學(xué)中文的人數(shù)增加了50%。我們兩國有近200個友好城市，美中科學(xué)家在許多新的研究領(lǐng)域和發(fā)現(xiàn)領(lǐng)域進(jìn)行合作，而我們兩國人民都熱愛籃球，姚明就是個例子。不過，此行中我不能觀看上海鯊魚隊(duì)的比賽，有點(diǎn)遺憾。那么我們兩國之間的這種關(guān)系給我們帶來了積極的變化，這并不是偶爾的，中國使得億萬人民脫貧，而這種成就是人類歷史上史無前例的。而中國在全球問題中也發(fā)揮更大的作用，美國也目睹了我們經(jīng)濟(jì)的成長。中國有句古言，溫故而知新。當(dāng)然，我們過去30年中也碰到了挫折和挑戰(zhàn)，我們的關(guān)系并不是沒有困難的，沒有分歧的。但是我們必須一定是對手這種想法不應(yīng)該是一成不變的。由于我們兩國的合作，美中兩國都變得更加繁榮、更加安全。我們基于相互的利益、相互的尊重就能有成就。

不過，這種接觸的成功要取決于我們要彼此了解，要能夠進(jìn)行開誠布公的對話，彼此進(jìn)行了解。就像當(dāng)年美國乒乓球運(yùn)動員所說的，我們作為人有著共同的向往，但是我們兩國又不同。我認(rèn)為我們兩國每個國家都應(yīng)該勾畫出自己要走的路，中國是一個文明古國，它有著博大精深的文化。相對而言，美國是一個年輕的國家，它的文化受到來自許多不同國家移民的影響，而指導(dǎo)我們民主制度文件的影響，我有一個非常簡樸的向往，代表了一些核心的原則，就是所有的人生來平等，都有著基本的權(quán)利，而政府應(yīng)當(dāng)反映人們的意志，貿(mào)易應(yīng)該是開放的，信息流通應(yīng)當(dāng)是自由的，而法律要保證這個公平。

當(dāng)然，我們的國家歷史也不是沒有過困難的地方，從很多方面來講，很多年以來，我們是通過斗爭來促進(jìn)這些原則或者是所有的人民能夠享受到，為了締造一個更完美的聯(lián)合，我們也打過一個很痛苦的內(nèi)戰(zhàn)，把一部分我們被奴役的人口釋放出來，經(jīng)過一段時間才能使婦女有投票權(quán)，勞工有組織權(quán)，包括來自各地的移民能夠全部被接受。即使他們被解放以后，非洲裔美國人也和美國人經(jīng)過一些分開的、不平等的條件，經(jīng)過一段時間才爭取到全面的平等權(quán)利，所有這些是不輕易的。但是我們對這些核心原則的信念我們?nèi)〉玫倪M(jìn)展，在最黑暗的風(fēng)暴當(dāng)中是作為我們的指南針。

這是為什么林肯在內(nèi)戰(zhàn)期間站起來說過，任何一個國家以自由、以所有人類平等的原則能夠長久的存在，也就是為什么金博士在林肯紀(jì)念館的前臺站起來，說我們國家要必須真正的實(shí)現(xiàn)我們的信念。也就是為什么來自中國或者肯尼亞的移民能夠到我們的家，也是為什么一個不到50年前以前在某些地方連投票都遇到困難的人，現(xiàn)在就能夠做到那個國家的總統(tǒng)。這就是為什么美國永遠(yuǎn)為了全世界各地的核心原則說話，我們不尋求把任何政治體制強(qiáng)制給任何國家，但是我們也不認(rèn)為我們所支持的這些原則是我們國家所獨(dú)有的，這些表達(dá)自由、宗教崇拜自由、接觸信息的機(jī)會、政治的參與，我們認(rèn)為這些是普世的權(quán)利，應(yīng)該是所有人民能夠享受到，包括少數(shù)民族和宗教的族群，不管是在中國、美國和任何國家，對于普遍權(quán)利的尊敬，作為美國對其他國家的開放態(tài)度的指導(dǎo)原則，我們對其他文化的尊重，我們對國際法的承諾和對未來的信念的原則。

所有這些都是你們知道關(guān)于美國的一些情況，我們有很多要從中國學(xué)習(xí)。我們看看這個偉大城市的各地，也看看這個房間，我就相信我們兩國有很重要的共同點(diǎn)，也就是對未來的信念，不管是美國還是中國，對現(xiàn)在的成就不能感到自滿。雖然中國是一個古老的國家，你們也是布滿信心展望未來，致力于下一代能夠比這一代做的更好，除了你們不斷增長的經(jīng)濟(jì)之外，我們很配合中國在科學(xué)和研究方面所投入的力量，包括建設(shè)的基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施和使用的技術(shù)，中國是世界上使用互聯(lián)網(wǎng)技術(shù)最多的國家，這就是我們很興奮互聯(lián)網(wǎng)是今天活動的一部分，這個國家也擁有最大的機(jī)動電話網(wǎng)絡(luò)，對新的投資保持繼承增長，和應(yīng)對氣候變化方面有新的投資，我也希望兩國加強(qiáng)這方面的合作。

但是更重要是看到年輕人你們的才能、你們的獻(xiàn)身精神、你們的夢想在21世紀(jì)實(shí)現(xiàn)方面會發(fā)揮很大的作用。我說過很多次，我認(rèn)為世界是互相連接的，我們所做的工作，我們所建立的繁榮，我們所保護(hù)的環(huán)境，我們所追求的安全，所有這些都是共同的，而且是互相連接的，所以21世紀(jì)的實(shí)力不在零和游戲，一個國家成功不應(yīng)該以另外一個國家的犧牲作為代價。這就是我們?yōu)槭裁床粚で蠖糁浦袊尼绕?。相反，我們歡迎中國作為一個國際社會的強(qiáng)的、繁榮的、成功的成員。

再回到剛才的諺語，我們應(yīng)該考慮過去。在大的國家合作的時候，就比互相碰撞會取得更多得好處，這就是人類在歷史上不斷吸取的教訓(xùn)。我認(rèn)為我們合作應(yīng)該是超越政府間的合作，應(yīng)該是以人民為基礎(chǔ)，我們所研究的內(nèi)容，我們所從事的生意，我們送獲得的知識，我們所進(jìn)行的體育比賽，所有這些橋梁必須是年輕人共同合作建立起來，這就是我為什么非常高興我們要大大的公布我們到中國學(xué)習(xí)的留學(xué)生人數(shù)，要增加到10萬人。這樣交流就會表現(xiàn)出我們是愿意致力于加強(qiáng)兩國人民的聯(lián)系，而且我是絕對有信心。對美國來說，最好的大使、最好的使者就是年輕人，他們和你們一樣，很有才能，充滿活力，對未來的歷史還是很樂觀的，這是我們合作的下一步，惠及兩國和全世界。

今天可以吸收的一個最重要的內(nèi)容就是我們不斷地向前推進(jìn)。非常感謝?，F(xiàn)在歡迎各位提問題。

第二篇：奧巴馬就職演講稿(英漢對照)

奧巴馬英文就職演講稿

If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible;who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time;who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer.It's the answer told by lines that stretched around schools and churches in numbers this nation has never seen;by people who waited three hours and four hours, many for the very first time in their lives, because they believed that this time must be different;that their voice could be that difference.It's the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, black, white, Latino, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabledyou made this happen, and I am forever grateful for what you've sacrificed to get it done.But above all, I will never forget who this victory truly belongs toit began in the backyards of Des Moines and the living rooms of Concord and the front porches of Charleston.It was built by working men and women who dug into what little savings they had to give five dollars and ten dollars and twenty dollars to this cause.It grew strength from the young people who rejected the myth of their generation's apathy;who left their homes and their families for jobs that offered little pay and less sleep;from the not-so-young people who braved the bitter cold and scorching heat to knock on the doors of perfect strangers;from the millions of Americans who volunteered, and organized, and proved that more than two centuries later, a government of the people, by the people and for the people has not perished from this Earth.This is your victory.I know you didn't do this just to win an election and I know you didn't do it for me.You did it because you understand the enormity of the task that lies ahead.For even as we celebrate tonight, we know the challenges that tomorrow will bring are the greatest of our lifetimeI have never been more hopeful than I am tonight that we will get there.I promise youblock by block, brick by brick, calloused hand by calloused hand.What began twenty-one months ago in the depths of winter must not end on this autumn night.This victory alone is not the change we seekin this country, we rise or fall as one nation;as one people.Let us resist the temptation to fall back on the same partisanship and pettiness and immaturity that has poisoned our politics for so long.Let us remember that it was a man from this state who first carried the banner of the Republican Party to the White HouseI may not have won your vote, but I hear your voices, I need your help, and I will be your President too.And to all those watching tonight from beyond our shores, from parliaments and palaces to those who are huddled around radios in the forgotten corners of our worldwe will defeat you.To those who seek peace and securitytonight we proved once more that the true strength of our nation comes not from our the might of our arms or the scale of our wealth, but from the enduring power of our ideals: democracy, liberty, opportunity, and unyielding hope.For that is the true genius of AmericaAnn Nixon Cooper is 106 years old.She was born just a generation past slavery;a time when there were no cars on the road or planes in the sky;when someone like her couldn't vote for two reasonsthe heartache and the hope;the struggle and the progress;the times we were told that we can't, and the people who pressed on with that American creed: Yes we can.At a time when women's voices were silenced and their hopes dismissed, she lived to see them stand up and speak out and reach for the ballot.Yes we can.When there was despair in the dust bowl and depression across the land, she saw a nation conquer fear itself with a New Deal, new jobs and a new sense of common purpose.Yes we can.When the bombs fell on our harbor and tyranny threatened the world, she was there to witness a generation rise to greatness and a democracy was saved.Yes we can.She was there for the buses in Montgomery, the hoses in Birmingham, a bridge in Selma, and a preacher from Atlanta who told a people that “We Shall Overcome.” Yes we can.A man touched down on the moon, a wall came down in Berlin, a world was connected by our own science and imagination.And this year, in this election, she touched her finger to a screen, and cast her vote, because after 106 years in America, through the best of times and the darkest of hours, she knows how America can change.Yes we can.America, we have come so far.We have seen so much.But there is so much more to do.So tonight, let us ask ourselvesto put our people back to work and open doors of opportunity for our kids;to restore prosperity and promote the cause of peace;to reclaim the American Dream and reaffirm that fundamental truth-that out of many, we are one;that while we breathe, we hope, and where we are met with cynicism, and doubt, and those who tell us that we can't, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people:

Yes We Can.Thank you, God bless you, and may God Bless the United States of America.成功贏得美國總統(tǒng)大選的奧巴馬11月5日下午（北京時間）在芝加哥格蘭特公園舉行盛大的集會，發(fā)表以“美國的變革”為主題的獲勝演說。他表示，美國迎來變革時代（change is coming to America），并且呼吁美國人民團(tuán)結(jié)起來。

-----以下為演講全文(華爾街日報翻譯版)-----如果還有人對美國是否凡事都有可能存疑，還有人懷疑美國奠基者的夢想在我們所處的時代是否依然鮮活，還有人質(zhì)疑我們的民主制度的力量，那么今晚，這些問題都有了答案。

這是設(shè)在學(xué)校和教堂的投票站前排起的前所未見的長隊(duì)給出的答案；是等了三四個小時的選民所給出的答案，其中許多人都是有生以來第一次投票，因?yàn)樗麄冋J(rèn)定這一次肯定會不一樣，認(rèn)為自己的聲音會是這次大選有別于以往之所在。

這是所有美國人民共同給出的答案－－無論老少貧富，無論是民主黨還是共和黨，無論是黑人、白人、拉美裔、亞裔、原住民，是同性戀者還是異性戀者、殘疾人還是健全人－－我們從來不是“紅州”和“藍(lán)州”的對立陣營，我們是美利堅合眾國這個整體，永遠(yuǎn)都是。

長久以來，很多人一再受到告誡，要對我們所能取得的成績極盡諷刺、擔(dān)憂和懷疑之能事，但這個答案讓這些人伸出手來把握歷史，再次讓它朝向美好明天的希望延伸。

已經(jīng)過去了這么長時間，但今晚，由于我們在今天、在這場大選中、在這個具有決定性的時刻所做的，美國已經(jīng)迎來了變革。我剛剛接到了麥凱恩參議員極具風(fēng)度的致電。他在這場大選中經(jīng)過了長時間的努力奮斗，而他為自己所深愛的這個國家奮斗的時間更長、過程更艱辛。他為美國做出了我們大多數(shù)人難以想像的犧牲，我們的生活也因這位勇敢無私的領(lǐng)袖所做出的貢獻(xiàn)而變得更美好。我向他和佩林州長所取得的成績表示祝賀，我也期待著與他們一起在未來的歲月中為復(fù)興這個國家的希望而共同努力。

我要感謝我在這次旅程中的伙伴－－已當(dāng)選美國副總統(tǒng)的拜登。他全心參與競選活動，為普通民眾代言，他們是他在斯克蘭頓從小到大的伙伴，也是在他回特拉華的火車上遇到的男男女女。

如果沒有一個人的堅決支持，我今晚就不會站在這里，她是我過去16年來最好的朋友、是我們一家人的中堅和我一生的摯愛，更是我們國家的下一位第一夫人：米歇爾·奧巴馬(Michelle Obama)。薩莎(Sasha)和瑪麗亞(Malia)，我太愛你們兩個了，你們已經(jīng)得到了一條新的小狗，它將與我們一起入駐白宮。雖然我的外祖母已經(jīng)不在了，但我知道她與我的親人肯定都在看著我，因?yàn)樗麄?，我才能擁有今天的成就。今晚，我想念他們，我知道自己欠他們的無可計量。

我的競選經(jīng)理大衛(wèi)·普勞夫(David Plouffe)、首席策略師大衛(wèi)·艾克斯羅德(David Axelrod)以及政治史上最好的競選團(tuán)隊(duì)－－是你們成就了今天，我永遠(yuǎn)感激你們?yōu)閷?shí)現(xiàn)今天的成就所做出的犧牲。但最重要的是，我永遠(yuǎn)不會忘記這場勝利真正的歸屬－－它屬于你們。

我從來不是最有希望的候選人。一開始，我們沒有太多資金，也沒有得到太多人的支持。我們的競選活動并非誕生于華盛頓的高門華第之內(nèi)，而是始于得梅因、康科德、查爾斯頓這些地方的普通民眾家中。

我們的競選活動能有今天的規(guī)模，是因?yàn)樾燎诠ぷ鞯娜藗儚淖约旱奈⒈》e蓄中拿出錢來，捐出一筆又一筆5美元、10美元、20美元。而競選活動的聲勢越來越大則是源自那些年輕人，他們拒絕接受認(rèn)為他們這代人冷漠的荒誕說法；他們離開家、離開親人，從事報酬微薄、極其辛苦的工作；同時也源自那些已經(jīng)不算年輕的人們，他們冒著嚴(yán)寒酷暑，敲開陌生人的家門進(jìn)行競選宣傳；更源自數(shù)百萬的美國民眾，他們自動自發(fā)地組織起來，證明了在兩百多年以后，民有、民治、民享的政府并未從地球上消失。這是你們的勝利。

我知道你們的所做所為并不只是為了贏得大選，我也知道你們做這一切并不是為了我。你們這樣做是因?yàn)槟銈兠靼讛[在面前的任務(wù)有多艱巨。因?yàn)榧幢阄覀兘裢須g呼慶祝，我們也知道明天將面臨我們一生之中最為艱巨的挑戰(zhàn)－－兩場戰(zhàn)爭、一個面臨危險的星球，還有百年來最嚴(yán)重的金融危機(jī)。今晚站在此地，我們知道伊拉克的沙漠里和阿富汗的群山中還有勇敢的美國子弟兵醒來，甘冒生命危險保護(hù)著我們。會有在孩子熟睡后仍難以入眠的父母，擔(dān)心如何償還月供、付醫(yī)藥費(fèi)或是存夠錢送孩子上大學(xué)。我們亟待開發(fā)新能源、創(chuàng)造新的工作機(jī)會；我們需要修建新學(xué)校，還要應(yīng)對眾多威脅、修復(fù)與許多國家的關(guān)系。前方的道路會十分漫長艱辛。我們可能無法在一年甚至一屆任期之內(nèi)實(shí)現(xiàn)上述目標(biāo)，但我從未像今晚這樣滿懷希望，相信我們會實(shí)現(xiàn)。我向你們承諾－－我們作為一個整體將會達(dá)成目標(biāo)。

我們會遭遇挫折和不成功的開端。對于我作為總統(tǒng)所做的每項(xiàng)決定和政策，會有許多人持有異議，我們也知道政府并不能解決所有問題。但我會向你們坦陳我們所面臨的挑戰(zhàn)。我會聆聽你們的意見，尤其是在我們意見相左之時。最重要的是，我會請求你們參與重建這個國家，以美國221年來從未改變的唯一方式－－一磚一瓦、胼手胝足。

21個月前那個寒冬所開始的一切不應(yīng)該在今天這個秋夜結(jié)束。今天的選舉勝利并不是我們所尋求的改變－－這只是我們實(shí)現(xiàn)改變的機(jī)會。而且如果我們?nèi)匀话凑张f有方式行事，我們所尋求的改變不可能出現(xiàn)。沒有你們，也不可能有這種改變。因此，讓我們發(fā)揚(yáng)新的愛國精神，樹立新的服務(wù)意識和責(zé)任感，讓我們每個人下定決心全情投入、更加努力地工作，并彼此關(guān)愛。讓我們銘記這場金融危機(jī)帶來的教訓(xùn)：我們不可能在金融以外的領(lǐng)域備受煎熬的同時擁有繁榮興旺的華爾街－－在這個國家，我們患難與共。

讓我們抵制重走老路的誘惑，避免重新回到長期荼毒美國政治的黨派紛爭和由此引發(fā)的遺憾和不成熟表現(xiàn)。讓我們牢記，正是伊利諾伊州的一名男子首次將共和黨的大旗扛到了白宮。共和黨是建立在自強(qiáng)自立、個人自由以及全民團(tuán)結(jié)的價值觀上，這也是我們所有人都珍視的價值。雖然民主黨今天晚上贏得了巨大的勝利，但我們是以謙卑的態(tài)度和彌合阻礙我們進(jìn)步的分歧的決心贏得這場勝利的。林肯在向遠(yuǎn)比我們眼下分歧更大的國家發(fā)表講話時說，我們不是敵人，而是朋友??雖然激情可能褪去，但是這不會割斷我們感情上的聯(lián)系。對于那些現(xiàn)在并不支持我的美國人，我想說，或許我沒有贏得你們的選票，但是我聽到了你們的聲音，我需要你們的幫助，而且我也將是你們的總統(tǒng)。

那些徹夜關(guān)注美國大選的海外人士，從國會到皇宮，以及在這個世界被遺忘的角落里擠在收音機(jī)旁的人們，我們的經(jīng)歷雖然各有不同，但是我們的命運(yùn)是相通的，新的美國領(lǐng)袖誕生了。那些想要顛覆這個世界的人們，我們必將擊敗你們。那些追求和平和安全的人們，我們支持你們。那些所有懷疑美國能否繼續(xù)照亮世界發(fā)展前景的人們，今天晚上我們再次證明，我們國家真正的力量并非來自我們武器的威力或財富的規(guī)模，而是來自我們理想的持久力量：民主、自由、機(jī)會和不屈的希望。

這才是美國真正的精華－－美國能夠改變。我們的聯(lián)邦會日臻完善。我們?nèi)〉玫某删蜑槲覀儗砟軌蛉〉玫囊约氨仨毴〉玫某删驮鎏砹讼Ｍ?/p>

這次大選創(chuàng)造了多項(xiàng)“第一”，也誕生了很多將世代流傳的故事。但是今天晚上令我難忘的卻是在亞特蘭大投票的一名婦女：安·尼克松·庫波爾(Ann Nixon Cooper)。她和其他數(shù)百萬排隊(duì)等待投票的選民沒有什么差別，除了一點(diǎn)：她已是106歲的高齡。她出生的那個時代奴隸制度剛剛結(jié)束；那時路上沒有汽車，天上也沒有飛機(jī)；當(dāng)時像她這樣的人由于兩個原因不能投票－－一是她是女性，另一個原因是她的膚色。

今天晚上，我想到了她在美國過去一百年間所經(jīng)歷的種種：心痛和希望；掙扎和進(jìn)步；那些我們被告知我們辦不到的世代，以及那些堅信美國信條──是的，我們能做到──的人們。

曾幾何時，婦女沒有發(fā)言權(quán)，她們的希望化作泡影，但是安·尼克松·庫波爾活了下來，看到婦女們站了起來，看到她們大聲發(fā)表自己的見解，看到她們?nèi)⒓哟筮x投票。是的，我們能做到。

當(dāng)30年代的沙塵暴和大蕭條引發(fā)人們的絕望之情時，她看到一個國家用羅斯福新政、新就業(yè)機(jī)會以及對新目標(biāo)的共同追求戰(zhàn)勝恐慌。是的，我們能做到。

當(dāng)炸彈襲擊了我們的海港、獨(dú)裁專制威脅到全世界，她見證了美國一代人的偉大崛起，見證了一個民主國家被拯救。是的，我們能做到。

她看到蒙哥馬利通了公共汽車、伯明翰接上了水管、塞爾馬建了橋，一位來自亞特蘭大的傳教士告訴人們：我們能成功。是的，我們能做到。

人類登上月球、柏林墻倒下，世界因我們的科學(xué)和想像被連接在一起。今年，就在這次選舉中，她用手指觸碰屏幕投下自己的選票，因?yàn)樵诿绹盍?06年之后，經(jīng)歷了最好的時光和最黑暗的時刻之后，她知道美國如何能夠發(fā)生變革。是的，我們能做到。

現(xiàn)在是我們回答這個問題的機(jī)會。這是我們的時刻。這是我們的時代－－讓我們的人民重新就業(yè)，為我們的后代敞開機(jī)會的大門；恢復(fù)繁榮發(fā)展，推進(jìn)和平事業(yè)；讓“美國夢”重新煥發(fā)光芒，再次證明這樣一個基本的真理：我們是一家人；一息尚存，我們就有希望；當(dāng)我們遇到嘲諷和懷疑，當(dāng)有人說我們辦不到的時候，我們要以這個永恒的信條來回應(yīng)他們： 是的，我們能做到。感謝你們。愿上帝保佑你們，保佑美利堅合眾國。Barack Obama

第三篇：奧巴馬訪華演講稿2009

奧巴馬訪華演講稿2009.11

Good afternoon.It is a great honor for me to be here in Shanghai and to have this opportunity to speak with all of you.I'd like to thank Fudan University's President Yang for his hospitality and his gracious welcome.I'd also like to thank our outstanding Ambassador Jon Huntsman who exemplifies the deep ties and respect between our nations.I don't know what he said but I hope it was good.(Laughter.)What I'd like to do is to make some opening comments and then what I'm really looking forward to doing is taking questions not only from students who are in the audience but also we've received questions online which will be asked by some of the students who are here in the audience as well as by Ambassador Huntsman.And I am very sorry that my Chinese is not as good as your English but I am looking forward to this chance to have a dialogue.This is my first time traveling to China and I'm excited to see this majestic country.Here in Shanghai we see the growth that has caught the attention of the world--the soaring skyscrapers the bustling streets and entrepreneurial activity.And just as I'm impressed by these signs of China's journey to the 21st century I'm eager to see those ancient places that speak to us from China's distant past.Tomorrow and the next day I hope to have a chance when I'm in Beijing to see the majesty of the Forbidden City and the wonder of the Great Wall.Truly this is a nation that encompasses both a rich history and a belief in the promise of the future.The same can be said of the relationship between our two countries.Shanghai of course is a city that has great meaning in the history of the relationship between the United States and China.It was here 37 years ago that the Shanghai Communique opened the door to a new chapter of engagement between our governments and among our people.However America's ties to this city--and to this country--stretch back further to the earliest days of America's independence.In 1784 our founding father George Washington commissioned the Empress of China a ship that set sail for these shores so that it could pursue trade with the Qing Dynasty.Washington wanted to see the ship carry the flag around the globe and to forge new ties with nations like China.This is a common American impulse--the desire to reach for new horizons and to forge new partnerships that are mutually beneficial.Over the two centuries that have followed the currents of history have steered the relationship between our countries in many directions.And even in the midst of tumultuous winds our people had opportunities to forge deep and even dramatic ties.For instance Americans will never forget the hospitality shown to our pilots who were shot down over your soil during World War II and cared for by Chinese civilians who risked all that they had by doing so.And Chinese veterans of that war still warmly greet those American veterans who return to the sites where they fought to help liberate China from occupation.A different kind of connection was made nearly 40 years ago when the frost between our countries began to thaw through the simple game of table tennis.The very unlikely nature of this engagement contributed to its success--because for all our differences both our common humanity and our shared curiosity were revealed.As one American player described his visit to China--“[The]people are just like us…The country is very similar to America but still very different.”

Of course this small opening was followed by the achievement of the Shanghai Communique and the eventual establishment of formal relations between the United States and China in 1979.And in three decades just look at how far we have come.In 1979 trade between the United States and China stood at roughly $5 billion--today it tops over $400 billion each year.The commerce affects our people's lives in so many ways.America imports from China many of the computer parts we use the clothes we wear;and we export to China machinery that helps power your industry.This trade could create even more jobs on both sides of the Pacific while allowing our people to enjoy a better quality of life.And as demand becomes more balanced it can lead to even broader prosperity.In 1979 the political cooperation between the United States and China was rooted largely in our shared rivalry with the Soviet Union.Today we have a positive constructive and comprehensive relationship that opens the door to partnership on the key global issues of our time--economic recovery and the development of clean energy;stopping the spread of nuclear weapons and the scourge of climate change;the promotion of peace and security in Asia and around the globe.All of these issues will be on the agenda tomorrow when I meet with President Hu.And in 1979 the connections among our people were limited.Today we see the curiosity of those ping-pong players manifested in the ties that are being forged across many sectors.The second highest number of foreign students in the United States come from China and we've seen a 50 percent increase in the study of Chinese among our own students.There are nearly 200 “friendship cities” drawing our communities together.American and Chinese scientists cooperate on new research and discovery.And of course Yao Ming is just one signal of our shared love of basketball--I'm only sorry that I won't be able to see a Shanghai Sharks game while I'm visiting.It is no coincidence that the relationship between our countries has accompanied a period of positive change.China has lifted hundreds of millions of people out of poverty--an accomplishment unparalleled in human history--while playing a larger role in global events.And the United States has seen our economy grow along with the standard of living enjoyed by our people while bringing the Cold War to a successful conclusion.There is a Chinese proverb: “Consider the past and you shall know the future.” Surely we have known setbacks and challenges over the last 30 years.Our relationship has not been without disagreement and difficulty.But the notion that we must be adversaries is not predestined--not when we consider the past.Indeed because of our cooperation both the United States and China are more prosperous and more secure.We have seen what is possible when we build upon our mutual interests and engage on the basis of mutual respect.And yet the success of that engagement depends upon understanding--on sustaining an open dialogue and learning about one another and from one another.For just as that American table tennis player pointed out--we share much in common as human beings but our countries are different in certain ways.I believe that each country must chart its own course.China is an ancient nation with a deeply rooted culture.The United States by comparison is a young nation whose culture is determined by the many different immigrants who have come to our shores and by the founding documents that guide our democracy.Those documents put forward a simple vision of human affairs and they enshrine several core principles--that all men and women are created equal and possess certain fundamental rights;that government should reflect the will of the people and respond to their wishes;that commerce should be open information freely accessible;and that laws and not simply men should guarantee the administration of justice.Of course the story of our nation is not without its difficult chapters.In many ways--over many years--we have struggled to advance the promise of these principles to all of our people and to forge a more perfect union.We fought a very painful civil war and freed a portion of our population from slavery.It took time for women to be extended the right to vote workers to win the right to organize and for immigrants from different corners of the globe to be fully embraced.Even after they were freed African Americans persevered through conditions that were separate and not equal before winning full and equal rights.None of this was easy.But we made progress because of our belief in those core principles which have served as our compass through the darkest of storms.That is why Lincoln could stand up in the midst of civil war and declare it a struggle to see whether any nation conceived in liberty and “dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal” could long endure.That is why Dr.Martin Luther King could stand on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial and ask that our nation live out the true meaning of its creed.That's why immigrants from China to Kenya could find a home on our shores;why opportunity is available to all who would work for it;and why someone like me who less than 50 years ago would have had trouble voting in some parts of America is now able to serve as its President.And that is why America will always speak out for these core principles around the world.We do not seek to impose any system of government on any other nation but we also don't believe that the principles that we stand for are unique to our nation.These freedoms of expression_r_r_r_r_r and worship--of access to information and political participation--we believe are universal rights.They should be available to all people including ethnic and religious minorities--whether they are in the United States China or any nation.Indeed it is that respect for universal rights that guides America's openness to other countries;our respect for different cultures;our commitment to international law;and our faith in the future.These are all things that you should know about America.I also know that we have much to learn about China.Looking around at this magnificent city--and looking around this room--I do believe that our nations hold something important in common and that is a belief in the future.Neither the United States nor China is content to rest on our achievements.For while China is an ancient nation you are also clearly looking ahead with confidence ambition and a commitment to see that tomorrow's generation can do better than today's.In addition to your growing economy we admire China's extraordinary commitment to science and research--a commitment borne out in everything from the infrastructure you build to the technology you use.China is now the world's largest Internet user--which is why we were so pleased to include the Internet as a part of today's event.This country now has the world's largest mobile phone network and it is investing in the new forms of energy that can both sustain growth and combat climate change--and I'm looking forward to deepening the partnership between the United States and China in this critical area tomorrow.But above all I see China's future in you--young people whose talent and dedication and dreams will do so much to help shape the 21st century.I've said many times that I believe that our world is now fundamentally interconnected.The jobs we do the prosperity we build the environment we protect the security that we seek--all of these things are shared.And given that interconnection power in the 21st century is no longer a zero-sum game;one country's success need not come at the expense of another.And that is why the United States insists we do not seek to contain China's rise.On the contrary we welcome China as a strong and prosperous and successful member of the community of nations--a China that draws on the rights strengths and creativity of individual Chinese like you.To return to the proverb--consider the past.We know that more is to be gained when great powers cooperate than when they collide.That is a lesson that human beings have learned time and again and that is the example of the history between our nations.And I believe strongly that cooperation must go beyond our government.It must be rooted in our people--in the studies we share the business that we do the knowledge that we gain and even in the sports that we play.And these bridges must be built by young men and women just like you and your counterparts in America.That's why I'm pleased to announce that the United States will dramatically expand the number of our students who study in China to 100000.And these exchanges mark a clear commitment to build ties among our people as surely as you will help determine the destiny of the 21st century.And I'm absolutely confident that America has no better ambassadors to offer than our young people.For they just like you are filled with talent and energy and optimism about the history that is yet to be written.So let this be the next step in the steady pursuit of cooperation that will serve our nations and the world.And if there's one thing that we can take from today's dialogue I hope that it is a commitment to continue this dialogue going forward.So thank you very much.And I look forward now to taking some questions from all of you.Thank you very much.(Applause.)

第四篇：奧巴馬復(fù)旦大學(xué)演講稿

PRESIDENT OBAMA: Good afternoon.It is a great honor for me to be here in Shanghai, and to have this opportunity to speak with all of you.I'd like to thank Fudan University's President Yang for his hospitality and his gracious welcome.I'd also like to thank our outstanding Ambassador, Jon Huntsman, who exemplifies the deep ties and respect between our nations.I don't know what he said, but I hope it was good.(Laughter.)奧巴馬總統(tǒng)：你們好。能夠有機(jī)會在上海跟你們大家交談，我深感榮幸。我要感謝復(fù)旦大學(xué)的楊校長，感謝他的款待和熱情的歡迎。我還要感謝我們出色的大使洪博培，他代表了我們兩國之間的深遠(yuǎn)聯(lián)系和相互尊重。我不知道他剛才說什么，但是希望他說得不錯。(笑聲)What I'd like to do is to make some opening comments, and then what I'm really looking forward to doing is taking questions, not only from students who are in the audience, but also we've received questions online, which will be asked by some of the students who are here in the audience, as well as by Ambassador Huntsman.And I am very sorry that my Chinese is not as good as your English, but I am looking forward to this chance to have a dialogue.我今天準(zhǔn)備先做一個開場白，但我真正希望做的是回答問題，不但回答在座的學(xué)生提出的問題，同時也回答從網(wǎng)上提出的一些問題，這些問題由在座的一些學(xué)生和洪博培大使代為提出。很抱歉，我的中文不如你們的英文，但我期待著這個和你們對話的機(jī)會。

This is my first time traveling to China, and I'm excited to see this majestic country.Here, in Shanghai, we see the growth that has caught the attention of the world--the soaring skyscrapers, the bustling streets and entrepreneurial activity.And just as I'm impressed by these signs of China's journey to the 21st century, I'm eager to see those ancient places that speak to us from China's distant past.Tomorrow and the next day I hope to have a chance when I'm in Beijing to see the majesty of the Forbidden City and the wonder of the Great Wall.Truly, this is a nation that encompasses both a rich history and a belief in the promise of the future.這是我首次訪問中國，看到你們壯麗的國家，我感到很興奮。在上海，我們看到了全球矚目的發(fā)展——高聳的大廈、繁忙的街道、創(chuàng)業(yè)的動態(tài)。這些都是中國步入 21世紀(jì)的跡象，讓我感到贊嘆。同時，我也期盼看到向我們展現(xiàn)中國悠久歷史的古跡。明天和后天我會在北京，希望有機(jī)會看到壯觀的故宮和奇跡般的長城。的確，這是一個既有豐富的歷史，又對未來的希望充滿信心的國家。The same can be said of the relationship between our two countries.Shanghai, of course, is a city that has great meaning in the history of the relationship between the United States and China.It was here, 37 years ago, that the Shanghai Communique opened the door to a new chapter of engagement between our governments and among our people.However, America's ties to this city--and to this country--stretch back further, to the earliest days of America's independence.我們兩國的關(guān)系也是如此。毫無疑問，上海在美中關(guān)系史上是一個具有重大意義的城市。正是在這里，37年前發(fā)布的《上海公報》(Shanghai Communique)開啟了我們兩國政府和兩國人民接觸交往的新篇章。然而，美國與這個城市以及這個國家的紐帶可以追溯到更久遠(yuǎn)的過去，直至美國獨(dú)立初期。

In 1784, our founding father, George Washington, commissioned the Emperor China, a ship that set sail for these shores so that it could pursue trade with the Qing Dynasty.Washington wanted to see the ship carry the flag around the globe, and to forge new ties with nations like China.This is a common Americanimpulse--the desire to reach for new horizons, and to forge new partnerships that are mutually beneficial.1784年，我們的建國之父喬治?華盛頓主持了“中國女皇號”(Emperor China)的下水儀式。這條船前往中國海岸，尋求與清朝通商。華盛頓希望看到這條懸掛美國國旗的船前往世界各地，與像中國這樣的國家締結(jié)新的紐帶。這是通常的美國人的愿望——希望達(dá)到新的地平線，建立新的、互利的伙伴關(guān)系。

Over the two centuries that have followed, the currents of history have steered the relationship between our countries in many directions.And even in the midst of tumultuous winds, our people had opportunities to forge deep and even dramatic ties.For instance, Americans will never forget the hospitality shownto our pilots who were shot down over your soil during World War II, and cared for by Chinese civilians who risked all that they had by doing so.And Chinese veterans of that war still warmly greet those American veterans who return to the sites where they fought to help liberate China from occupation.在此后的兩個世紀(jì)中，歷史洪流使我們兩國關(guān)系向許多不同的方向發(fā)展，但即使在動蕩的歲月中，兩國人民也抓住機(jī)會發(fā)展了深入的、甚至極不平凡的關(guān)系。例如，美國人民永遠(yuǎn)不會忘記，二戰(zhàn)期間，美國飛行員在中國上空被擊落后，中國公民冒著失去一切的危險護(hù)理他們。參加過二戰(zhàn)的中國老兵仍然熱情歡迎故地重游的美國老兵，他們曾經(jīng)在那里作戰(zhàn)，幫助中國從占領(lǐng)下獲得解放。A different kind of connection was made nearly 40 years ago when the frost between our countries began to thaw through the simple game of table tennis.The very unlikely nature of this engagement contributed to its success--because for all our differences, both our common humanity and our shared curiosity were revealed.As one American player described his visit to China--“[The]people are just like us…The country is very similar to America, but still very different.”近40年前，簡單的乒乓球比賽帶來了兩國關(guān)系的解凍，使我們兩國建立起另一種聯(lián)系。這種接觸令人意外，但卻恰恰促成了其成功，因?yàn)楸M管我們之間存在許多分歧，但是我們共同的人性和共同的好奇心得以從中顯現(xiàn)。正如一位美國乒乓球隊(duì)員在回憶對中國的訪問時所說：“那里的人民和我們一樣……這個國家和美國有許多相似之處，也有很大區(qū)別。”

Of course this small opening was followed by the achievement of the Shanghai Communique, and the eventual establishment of formal relations between the United States and China in 1979.And in three decades, just look at how far we have come.無須贅言，這個小小的契機(jī)帶來了《上海公報》的問世，并最終促使美中兩國在1979年建立正式外交關(guān)系。請看在此后的30年，我們?nèi)〉昧硕嗝撮L足的進(jìn)展。

In 1979, trade between the United States and China stood at roughly $5 billion--today it tops over $400 billion each year.The commerce affects our people's lives in so many ways.America imports from China many of the computer parts we use, the clothes we wear;and we export to China machinery that helps power your industry.This trade could create even more jobs on both sides of the Pacific, while allowing our people to enjoy a better quality of life.And as demand becomes more balanced, it can lead to even broader prosperity.1979年，美中貿(mào)易額約為50億美元，今天，貿(mào)易額已經(jīng)超過4000億美元。貿(mào)易在許多方面影響著兩國人民的生活，美國電腦中的許多元件以及我們身穿的服裝都是從中國進(jìn)口的，我們向中國出口你們的工業(yè)需要的機(jī)器。這種貿(mào)易可以在太平洋兩岸創(chuàng)造更多的就業(yè)機(jī)會，讓我們的人民過上質(zhì)量更高的生活。隨著需求趨于平衡，繁榮的范圍將進(jìn)一步擴(kuò)大。.*** In 1979, the political cooperation between the United States and China was rooted largely in our shared rivalry with the Soviet Union.Today, we have a positive, constructive and comprehensive relationship that opens the door to partnership on the key global issues of our time--economic recovery and the development of clean energy;stopping the spread of nuclear weapons and the scourge of climate change;the promotion of peace and security in Asia and around the globe.All of these issues will be on the agenda tomorrow when Imeet with President Hu.1979年，美中之間的政治合作主要立足于雙方共同面對的競爭對手蘇聯(lián)。如今我們享有積極的、建設(shè)性的、全面的關(guān)系，為我們在當(dāng)今時代的關(guān)鍵性全球問題上建立伙伴關(guān)系打開了大門，這些問題包括：經(jīng)濟(jì)復(fù)蘇和清潔能源開發(fā)、制止核武器擴(kuò)散和氣候變化的影響、在亞洲及全球各地促進(jìn)和平與安全。所有這些問題都是我明天與胡主席會談的內(nèi)容。

And in 1979, the connections among our people were limited.Today, we see the curiosity of those ping-pong players manifested in the ties that are being forged acromany sectors.The second highest number of foreign students in the United States come from China, and we've seen a 50 percent increase in the study of Chinese among our own students.There are nearly 200 “friendship cities” drawing our communities together.American and Chinese scientists cooperate on new research and discovery.And of course, Yao Ming is just one signal of our shared love of basketball--I'm only sorry that I won't be able to see a Shanghai Sharks game while I'm visiting.1979年，我們兩國人民的聯(lián)系十分有限。今天，我們看到當(dāng)年乒乓球隊(duì)員的好奇心已經(jīng)化為許多領(lǐng)域的紐帶，中國留學(xué)生在美國的人數(shù)名列第二，而在美國學(xué)生中，學(xué)中文的人數(shù)增加了50%。我們兩國有近200個友好城市，把我們的社區(qū)連接在一起。美中科學(xué)家合作進(jìn)行新的研究與發(fā)現(xiàn)。而姚明是我們兩國人民都熱愛籃球的僅僅一個標(biāo)志而已——令我遺憾的是，此行中我不能觀看上海大鯊魚隊(duì)的比賽。

It is no coincidence that the relationship between our countries has accompanied a period of positive change.China has lifted hundreds of millions of people out of poverty--an accomplishment unparalleled in human history--while playing a larger role in global events.And the United States has seen our economy grow along with the standard of living enjoyed by our people, while bringing the Cold War to a successful conclusion.我們兩國之間的關(guān)系相伴著一個積極變化的時期，這不是偶然的。中國實(shí)現(xiàn)了億萬人民脫貧，這一成就史無前例，同時，中國在全球問題中也在發(fā)揮更大的作用。美國在促使冷戰(zhàn)順利結(jié)束的同時，經(jīng)濟(jì)也取得了增長，人民的生活水平提高。

There is a Chinese proverb: “Consider the past, and you shall know the future.” Surely, we have known setbacks and challenges over the last 30 years.Our relationship has not been without disagreement and difficulty.But the notion that we must be adversaries is not predestined--not when we consider the past.Indeed, because of our cooperation, both the United States and China are moreprosperous and more secure.We have seen what is possible when we build uponour mutual interests, and engage on the basis of mutual respect.中國有句名言：“溫故而知新?！碑?dāng)然，過去30年中我們也曾遇到挫折和挑戰(zhàn)，我們的關(guān)系不是沒有分歧和困難。但是，“我們必然是對手”的概念并非是注定不變的——回顧過去不會是這樣。由于我們的合作，美中兩國都更加繁榮、更加安全。我們已經(jīng)看到我們本著共同的利益和相互的尊重去努力所能取得的成果。

奧巴馬復(fù)旦大學(xué)演講稿英文版

president obama: good afternoon.it is a great honor for me to be here in shanghai, and to have this opportunity to speak with all of you.i'd like to thank fudan university's president yang for his hospitality and his gracious welcome.i'd also like to thank our outstanding ambassador, jon huntsman, who exemplifies the deep ties and respect between our nations.i don't know what he said, but i hope it was good.(laughter.)

what i'd like to do is to make some opening comments, and then what i'm really looking forward to doing is taking questions, not only from students who are in the audience, but also we've received questions online, which will be asked by some of the students who are here in the audience, as well as by ambassador huntsman.and i am very sorry that my chinese is not as good as your english, but i am looking forward to this chance to have a dialogue.this is my first time traveling to china, and i'm excited to see this majestic country.here, in shanghai, we see the growth that has caught the attention of the world--the soaring skyscrapers, the bustling streets and entrepreneurial activity.and just as i'm impressed by these signs of china's journey to the 21st century, i'm eager to see those ancient places that speak to us from china's distant past.tomorrow and the next day i hope to have a chance when i'm in beijing to see the majesty of the forbidden city and the wonder of the great wall.truly, this is a nation that encompasses both a rich history and a belief in the promise of the future.the same can be said of the relationship between our two countries.shanghai, of course, is a city that has great meaning in the history of the relationship between the united states and china.it was here, 37 years ago, that the shanghai communique opened the door to a new chapter of engagement between our governments and among our people.however, america's ties to this city--and to this country--stretch back further, to the earliest days of america's independence.in 1784, our founding father, george washington, commissioned the empress of china, a ship that set sail for these shores so that it could pursue trade with the qing dynasty.washington wanted to see the ship carry the flag around the globe, and to forge new ties with nations like china.this is a common american impulse--the desire to reach for new horizons, and to forge new partnerships that are mutually beneficial.over the two centuries that have followed, the currents of history have steered the relationship between our countries in many directions.and even in the midst of tumultuous winds, our people had opportunities to forge deep and even dramatic ties.for instance, americans will never forget the hospitality shown to our pilots who were shot down over your soil during world war ii, and cared for by chinese civilians who risked all that they had by doing so.and chinese veterans of that war still warmly greet those american veterans who return to the sites where they fought to help liberate china from occupation.a different kind of connection was made nearly 40 years ago when the frost between our countries began to thaw through the simple game of table tennis.the very unlikely nature of this engagement contributed to its success--because for all our differences, both our common humanity and our shared curiosity were revealed.as one american player described his visit to china--“[the]people are just like us…the country is very similar to america, but still very different.” of course this small opening was followed by the achievement of the shanghai communique, and the eventual establishment of formal relations between the united states and china in 1979.and in three decades, just look at how far we have come.in 1979, trade between the united states and china stood at roughly $5 billion--today it tops over $400 billion each year.the commerce affects our people's lives in so many ways.america imports from china many of the computer parts we use, the clothes we wear;and we export to china machinery that helps power your industry.this trade could create even more jobs on both sides of the pacific, while allowing our people to enjoy a better quality of life.and as demand becomes more balanced, it can lead to even broader prosperity.in 1979, the political cooperation between the united states and china was rooted largely in our shared rivalry with the soviet union.today, we have a positive, constructive and comprehensive relationship that opens the door to partnership on the key global issues of our time--economic recovery and the development of clean energy;stopping the spread of nuclear weapons and the scourge of climate change;the promotion of peace and security in asia and around the globe.all of these issues will be on the agenda tomorrow when i meet with president hu.and in 1979, the connections among our people were limited.today, we see the curiosity of those ping-pong players manifested in the ties that are being forged across many sectors.the second highest number of foreign students in the united states come from china, and we've seen a 50 percent increase in the study of chinese among our own students.there are nearly 200 “friendship cities” drawing our communities together.american and chinese scientists cooperate on new research and discovery.and of course, yao ming is just one signal of our shared love of basketball--i'm only sorry that i won't be able to see a shanghai sharks game while i'm visiting.it is no coincidence that the relationship between our countries has accompanied a period of positive change.china has lifted hundreds of millions of people out of poverty--an accomplishment unparalleled in human history--while playing a larger role in global events.and the united states has seen our economy grow along with the standard of living enjoyed by our people, while bringing the cold war to a successful conclusion.there is a chinese proverb: “consider the past, and you shall know the future.” surely, we have known setbacks and challenges over the last 30 years.our relationship has not been without disagreement and difficulty.but the notion that we must be adversaries is not predestined--not when we consider the past.indeed, because of our cooperation, both the united states and china are more prosperous and more secure.we have seen what is possible when we build upon our mutual interests, and engage on the basis of mutual respect.and yet the success of that engagement depends upon understanding--on sustaining an open dialogue, and learning about one another and from one another.for just as that american table tennis player pointed out--we share much in common as human beings, but our countries are different in certain ways.i believe that each country must chart its own course.china is an ancient nation, with a deeply rooted culture.the united states, by comparison, is a young nation, whose culture is determined by the many different immigrants who have come to our shores, and by the founding documents that guide our democracy.those documents put forward a simple vision of human affairs, and they enshrine several core principles--that all men and women are created equal, and possess certain fundamental rights;that government should reflect the will of the people and respond to their wishes;that commerce should be open, information freely accessible;and that laws, and not simply men, should guarantee the administration of justice.of course, the story of our nation is not without its difficult chapters.in many ways--over many years--we have struggled to advance the promise of these principles to all of our people, and to forge a more perfect union.we fought a very painful civil war, and freed a portion of our population from slavery.it took time for women to be extended the right to vote, workers to win the right to organize, and for immigrants from different corners of the globe to be fully embraced.even after they were freed, african americans persevered through conditions that were separate and not equal, before winning full and equal rights.none of this was easy.but we made progress because of our belief in those core principles, which have served as our compass through the darkest of storms.that is why lincoln could stand up in the midst of civil war and declare it a struggle to see whether any nation, conceived in liberty, and “dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal” could long endure.that is why dr.martin luther king could stand on the steps of the lincoln memorial and ask that our nation live out the true meaning of its creed.that's why immigrants from china to kenya could find a home on our shores;why opportunity is available to all who would work for it;and why someone like me, who less than 50 years ago would have had trouble voting in some parts of america, is now able to serve as its president.and that is why america will always speak out for these core principles around the world.we do not seek to impose any system of government on any other nation, but we also don't believe that the principles that we stand for are unique to our nation.these freedoms of expression and worship--of access to information and political participation--we believe are universal rights.they should be available to all people, including ethnic and religious minorities--whether they are in the united states, china, or any nation.indeed, it is that respect for universal rights that guides america's openness to other countries;our respect for different cultures;our commitment to international law;and our faith in the future.these are all things that you should know about america.i also know that we have much to learn about china.looking around at this magnificent city--and looking around this room--i do believe that our nations hold something important in common, and that is a belief in the future.neither the united states nor china is content to rest on our achievements.for while china is an ancient nation, you are also clearly looking ahead with confidence, ambition, and a commitment to see that tomorrow's generation can do better than today's.in addition to your growing economy, we admire china's extraordinary commitment to science and research--a commitment borne out in everything from the infrastructure you build to the technology you use.china is now the world's largest internet user--which is why we were so pleased to include the internet as a part of today's event.this country now has the world's largest mobile phone network, and it is investing in the new forms of energy that can both sustain growth and combat climate change--and i'm looking forward to deepening the partnership between the united states and china in this critical area tomorrow.but above all, i see china's future in you--young people whose talent and dedication and dreams will do so much to help shape the 21st century.i've said many times that i believe that our world is now fundamentally interconnected.the jobs we do, the prosperity we build, the environment we protect, the security that we seek--all of these things are shared.and given that interconnection, power in the 21st century is no longer a zero-sum game;one country's success need not come at the expense of another.and that is why the united states insists we do not seek to contain china's rise.on the contrary, we welcome china as a strong and prosperous and successful member of the community of nations--a china that draws on the rights, strengths, and creativity of individual chinese like you.to return to the proverb--consider the past.we know that more is to be gained when great powers cooperate than when they collide.that is a lesson that human beings have learned time and again, and that is the example of the history between our nations.and i believe strongly that cooperation must go beyond our government.it must be rooted in our people--in the studies we share, the business that we do, the knowledge that we gain, and even in the sports that we play.and these bridges must be built by young men and women just like you and your counterparts in america.that's why i'm pleased to announce that the united states will dramatically expand the number of our students who study in china to 100,000.and these exchanges mark a clear commitment to build ties among our people, as surely as you will help determine the destiny of the 21st century.and i'm absolutely confident that america has no better ambassadors to offer than our young people.for they, just like you, are filled with talent and energy and optimism about the history that is yet to be written.so let this be the next step in the steady pursuit of cooperation that will serve our nations, and the world.and if there's one thing that we can take from today's dialogue, i hope that it is a commitment to continue this dialogue going forward.so thank you very much.and i look forward now to taking some questions from all of you.thank you very much.(applause.)
