美聯(lián)英語(yǔ)提供：奧巴馬在復(fù)旦大學(xué)的演講稿中英文對(duì)照版2 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 bothsides 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年中美貿(mào)易僅有500億美元，而今天美中貿(mào)易已經(jīng)接近4000億美元。貿(mào)易在許多方面影響人民的生活，比如美國(guó)電腦中許多部件，還有穿的衣服都是從中國(guó)進(jìn)口的，我們向中國(guó)出口中國(guó)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(huì)，讓我們的人民過(guò)上質(zhì)量更高的生活。

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.在需求趨于平衡的過(guò)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?cè)诋?dāng)前重大的全球問(wèn)題上建立伙伴關(guān)系打開(kāi)了大門(mén)，這些問(wèn)題包括經(jīng)濟(jì)復(fù)蘇、潔凈能源的開(kāi)發(fā)、制止核武器擴(kuò)散以及應(yīng)對(duì)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(wèn)題我明天與胡主席會(huì)談時(shí)都會(huì)談到。

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.1979年的時(shí)候，我們兩國(guó)人民的聯(lián)系十分有限。當(dāng)年在乒乓球領(lǐng)域的好奇如今已延伸到許多領(lǐng)域，美國(guó)現(xiàn)在數(shù)量最多的留學(xué)生都來(lái)自中國(guó)。而在美國(guó)的學(xué)生中，學(xué)中文的人數(shù)增加了50%。我們兩國(guó)有近200個(gè)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。我們兩國(guó)人民都熱愛(ài)籃球，姚明就是個(gè)例子。不過(guò)，此行中我不能觀(guān)看上海鯊魚(yú)隊(duì)的比賽，有點(diǎn)遺憾。

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(guó)之間的這種關(guān)系給我們帶來(lái)了積極的變化，這并不是偶然的，中國(guó)使得億萬(wàn)人民脫貧，而這種成就是人類(lèi)歷史上史無(wú)前例的。而中國(guó)在全球問(wèn)題中也發(fā)揮更大的作用，美國(guó)也目睹了我們經(jīng)濟(jì)的成長(zhǎng)。

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.中國(guó)有句古言，溫故而知新。當(dāng)然，我們過(guò)去30年中也遇到了挫折和挑戰(zhàn)，我們的關(guān)系并不是沒(méi)有困難的，沒(méi)有分歧的?！暗俏覀儽仨氁欢ㄊ菍?duì)手”的這種想法不應(yīng)該是一成不變的。由于我們兩國(guó)的合作，美中兩國(guó)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。

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.不過(guò)，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(kāi)誠(chéng)布公的對(duì)話(huà)，彼此進(jìn)行了解。就像當(dāng)年美國(guó)乒乓球運(yùn)動(dòng)員所說(shuō)的，我們作為人有著共同的向往，但是我們兩國(guó)又不同。兩分鐘做個(gè)小測(cè)試，看看你的英語(yǔ)水平http://m.meten.com/test/quwen.aspx?tid=16-73675-0

美聯(lián)英語(yǔ)提供：奧巴馬在復(fù)旦大學(xué)的演講稿中英文對(duì)照版4 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.所有這些都是你們知道關(guān)于美國(guó)的一些情況，我們有很多要從中國(guó)學(xué)習(xí)。我們看看這個(gè)偉大城市的各地，也看看這個(gè)房間，我就相信我們兩國(guó)有很重要的共同點(diǎn)，也就是對(duì)未來(lái)的信念，不管是美國(guó)還是中國(guó)，對(duì)現(xiàn)在的成就不能感到自滿(mǎn)。雖然中國(guó)是一個(gè)古老的國(guó)家，你們也是充滿(mǎn)信心展望未來(lái)，致力于下一代能夠比這一代做的更好。

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.除了你們不斷增長(zhǎng)的經(jīng)濟(jì)之外，我們很配合中國(guó)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(guó)是世界上使用互聯(lián)網(wǎng)技術(shù)最多的國(guó)家，這就是我們很高興互聯(lián)網(wǎng)是今天活動(dòng)的一部分，這個(gè)國(guó)家也擁有最大的移動(dòng)電話(huà)網(wǎng)絡(luò)，對(duì)新的投資保持繼續(xù)增長(zhǎng)，應(yīng)對(duì)氣候變化方面有新的投資，我也希望兩國(guó)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(mèng)想在21世紀(jì)實(shí)現(xiàn)方面會(huì)發(fā)揮很大的作用。

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 inpidual Chinese like you.我說(shuō)過(guò)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(gè)國(guó)家成功不應(yīng)該以另外一個(gè)國(guó)家的犧牲作為代價(jià)。這就是我們?yōu)槭裁床粚で蠖糁浦袊?guó)的崛起。相反，我們歡迎中國(guó)作為一個(gè)國(guó)際社會(huì)的強(qiáng)的、繁榮的、成功的成員。

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.再回到剛才的諺語(yǔ)，我們應(yīng)該考慮過(guò)去。在大的國(guó)家合作的時(shí)候，就比互相碰撞會(huì)取得更多的好處，這就是人類(lèi)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)的，我們所研究的內(nèi)容、我們所從事的生意、我們所獲得的知識(shí)、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(lái)。

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.這就是我為什么非常高興我們要大大地宣布我們到中國(guó)學(xué)習(xí)的留學(xué)生人數(shù)，要增加到10萬(wàn)人。這樣交流就會(huì)表現(xiàn)出我們是愿意致力于加強(qiáng)兩國(guó)人民的聯(lián)系，而且我是絕對(duì)有信心的。對(duì)美國(guó)來(lái)說(shuō)，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(mǎn)活力，對(duì)未來(lái)的歷史還是很樂(lè)觀(guān)的。

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.這是我們合作的下一步，惠及兩國(guó)和全世界。今天可以吸收的一個(gè)最重要的內(nèi)容就是我們不斷地向前推進(jìn)。

So thank you very much.And I look forward now to taking some questions from all of you.Thank you very much.(Applause.)兩分鐘做個(gè)小測(cè)試，看看你的英語(yǔ)水平http://m.meten.com/test/quwen.aspx?tid=16-73675-0

儂好！諸位下午好。我感到很榮幸能夠有機(jī)會(huì)到上海跟你們交談，我要感謝復(fù)旦大學(xué)的楊校長(zhǎng)，感謝他的款待和熱情的歡迎。我還想感謝我們出色的大使洪博培，他是我們兩國(guó)間深厚的紐帶。我不知道他剛才說(shuō)什么，但是希望他說(shuō)得很好。

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)備這樣，先做一個(gè)開(kāi)場(chǎng)白，我真正希望做的是回答在座的問(wèn)題，不但回答在座的學(xué)生問(wèn)題，同時(shí)還可以從網(wǎng)上得到一些問(wèn)題，由在座的一些學(xué)生和洪博培大使代為提問(wèn)。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(duì)話(huà)。

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(fǎng)問(wèn)中國(guó)，我看到你們博大的國(guó)家，感到很興奮。在上海這里，我們看到了矚目的增長(zhǎng)，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(guó)步入21世紀(jì)的跡象，讓我感到贊嘆。同時(shí)我也急切的要看到向我們展現(xiàn)中國(guó)古老的古跡，明天和后天我要到北京去看雄偉壯麗的故宮和令人嘆為觀(guān)止的長(zhǎng)城，這個(gè)國(guó)度既有豐富的歷史，又有對(duì)未來(lái)憧憬的信念。

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.而我們兩國(guó)的關(guān)系也是如此，上海在美中關(guān)系的歷史中是個(gè)具有意義的重大城市，在37年前，《上海公報(bào)》打開(kāi)了我們兩國(guó)政府和兩國(guó)人民接觸交往的新的篇章。

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.不過(guò)美國(guó)與這個(gè)國(guó)家的紐帶可以追溯更久遠(yuǎn)的過(guò)去，追溯到美國(guó)獨(dú)立的初期，喬治?華盛頓組織了皇后號(hào)的下水儀式，這個(gè)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(guó)結(jié)成新的紐帶。希望與中國(guó)開(kāi)辟新的地平線(xiàn)，建立新的伙伴關(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 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.在其后的兩個(gè)世紀(jì)中，歷史洪流使我們兩國(guó)關(guān)系向許多不同的方向發(fā)展，而即使在最動(dòng)蕩的方向中，我們的兩國(guó)人民也打造了很深的，甚至有戲劇性的紐帶，比如美國(guó)人永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)忘記，在二戰(zhàn)期間，美國(guó)飛行員在中國(guó)上空被擊落后，當(dāng)?shù)厝嗣駥?duì)他們的款待，中國(guó)公民冒著失去一切的危險(xiǎn)保護(hù)著他們。而參加二戰(zhàn)的中國(guó)老兵仍然歡迎故地重游的美國(guó)老兵，他們?cè)谀抢飬?zhàn)。

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.40年前，我們兩國(guó)間開(kāi)啟了又一種聯(lián)系，兩國(guó)關(guān)系開(kāi)始解凍，通過(guò)乒乓球的比賽解凍關(guān)系。我們兩國(guó)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，就像一位乒乓球人員所說(shuō)的一樣，那的國(guó)家就是一樣，但是這個(gè)小小的開(kāi)頭帶來(lái)了《上海公報(bào)》的問(wèn)世，最終還帶來(lái)了美中在1979年建交。在其后的30年我們又取得了長(zhǎng)足的進(jìn)展。兩分鐘做個(gè)小測(cè)試，看看你的英語(yǔ)水平http://m.meten.com/test/quwen.aspx?tid=16-73675-0

美聯(lián)英語(yǔ)提供：奧巴馬就職演講稿（中英文對(duì)照）2 Together, we determined that a modern economy requires railroads and highways to speed travel and commerce;schools and colleges to train our workers。我們共同努力，建立起現(xiàn)代的經(jīng)濟(jì)體系。架設(shè)鐵路與高速公路，加速了旅行和商業(yè)交流。建立學(xué)校與大學(xué)，培訓(xùn)我們的工人。

Together, we discovered that a free market only thrives when there are rules to ensure competition and fair play.我們一起發(fā)現(xiàn)，自由市場(chǎng)的繁榮只能建立在保障競(jìng)爭(zhēng)與公平競(jìng)爭(zhēng)的原則之上。

Together, we resolved that a great nation must care for the vulnerable, and protect its people from life’s worst hazards and misfortune.我們共同決定讓這個(gè)偉大的國(guó)家遠(yuǎn)離危險(xiǎn)，保護(hù)她的人民不受生命威脅和不幸的侵?jǐn)_。Through it all, we have never relinquished our skepticism of central authority, nor have we succumbed to the fiction that all society’s ills can be cured through government alone.Our celebration of initiative and enterprise;our insistence on hard work and personal responsibility, these are constants in our character.一路走來(lái)，我們從未放棄對(duì)集權(quán)的質(zhì)疑。我們同樣不屈服于這一謊言：一切的社會(huì)弊端都能夠只靠政府來(lái)解決。我們對(duì)積極向上與奮發(fā)進(jìn)取的贊揚(yáng)，我們對(duì)努力工作與個(gè)人責(zé)任的堅(jiān)持，這些都是美國(guó)精神的基本要義。

But we have always understood that when times change, so must we;that fidelity

to our founding principles requires new responses to new challenges;that preserving our individual freedoms ultimately requires collective action.For the American people can no more meet the demands of today’s world by acting alone than American soldiers could have met the forces of fascism or communism with muskets and militias.No single person can train all the math and science teachers we’ll need to equip our children for the future, or build the roads and networks and research labs that will bring new jobs and businesses to our shores.Now, more than ever, we must do these things together, as one nation, and one people.我們也理解，時(shí)代在變化，我們同樣需要變革。對(duì)建國(guó)精神的忠誠(chéng)，需要我們肩負(fù)起新的責(zé)任，迎接新的挑戰(zhàn)。保護(hù)我們的個(gè)人自由，最終需要所有人的共同努力。因?yàn)槊绹?guó)人不能再獨(dú)力迎接當(dāng)今世界的挑戰(zhàn)，正如美國(guó)士兵們不能再像先輩一樣，用步槍和民兵同敵人(法西斯主義與共產(chǎn)主義)作戰(zhàn)。一個(gè)人無(wú)法培訓(xùn)所有的數(shù)學(xué) 與科學(xué)老師，我們需要他們?yōu)榱宋磥?lái)去教育孩子們。一個(gè)人無(wú)法建設(shè)道路、鋪設(shè)網(wǎng)絡(luò)、建立實(shí)驗(yàn)室來(lái)為國(guó)內(nèi)帶來(lái)新的工作崗位和商業(yè)機(jī)會(huì)。現(xiàn)在，與以往任何時(shí)候相比，我們都更需要團(tuán)結(jié)合作。作為一個(gè)國(guó)家，一個(gè)民族團(tuán)結(jié)起來(lái)。

This generation of Americans has been tested by crises that steeled our resolve and proved our resilience.A decade of war is now ending.An economic recovery has begun.America’s possibilities are limitless, for we possess all the qualities that this world without boundaries demands: youth and drive;diversity and openness;an endless capacity for risk and a gift for reinvention.My fellow Americans, we are made for this moment, and we will seize it – so long as we seize it together.這一代美國(guó)人經(jīng)歷了危機(jī)的考驗(yàn)，經(jīng)濟(jì)危機(jī)堅(jiān)定了我們的決心，證明了我們的恢復(fù)力。長(zhǎng)達(dá)

For we, the people, understand that our country cannot succeed when a shrinking few do very well and a growing many barely make it.We believe that America’s prosperity must rest upon the broad shoulders of a rising middle class.We know that America thrives when every person can find independence and pride in their work;when the wages of honest labor liberate families from the brink of hardship.We are true to our creed when a little girl born into the bleakest poverty knows that she has the same chance to succeed as anybody else, because she is an American, she is free, and she is equal, not just in the eyes of God but also in our own.因?yàn)槲覀?，美?guó)人民，清楚如果只有不斷萎縮的少數(shù)人群體獲得成功，而大多數(shù)人不能成功，我們的國(guó)家就無(wú)法成功。我們相信，美國(guó)的繁榮必須建立在不斷上升的中產(chǎn)階級(jí)的寬闊臂膀之上，我們知道美國(guó)的繁榮只有這樣才能實(shí)現(xiàn)。只有當(dāng)每個(gè)人都能找到工作中的自立與自豪時(shí)才能實(shí)現(xiàn)。只有當(dāng)誠(chéng)實(shí)勞動(dòng)獲得的薪水足夠讓家庭 擺脫困苦的懸崖時(shí)才能實(shí)現(xiàn)。我們忠誠(chéng)于我們的事業(yè)，保證讓一個(gè)出生于最貧窮環(huán)境中的小女孩都能知道，她有同其他所有人一樣的成功機(jī)會(huì)。因?yàn)樗且粋€(gè)美國(guó)人，她是自由的、平等的。她的自由平等不僅由上帝來(lái)見(jiàn)證，更由我們親手保護(hù)。

We understand that outworn programs are inadequate to the needs of our time.We must harness new ideas and technology to remake our government, revamp our tax code, reform our schools, and empower our citizens with the skills they

need to work harder, learn more, and reach higher.But while the means will change, our purpose endures: a nation that rewards the effort and determination of every single American.That is what this moment requires.That is what will give real meaning to our creed.我們知道，我們已然陳舊的程序不足以滿(mǎn)足時(shí)代的需要。我們必須應(yīng)用新理念和新技術(shù)重塑我們的政府，改進(jìn)我們的稅法，改革我們的學(xué)校，讓我們的公民擁有他們所需要的技能，更加努力地工作，學(xué)更多的知識(shí)，向更高處發(fā)展。這意味著變革，我們的目標(biāo)是：國(guó)家可以獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)每個(gè)美國(guó)人的努力和果斷。這是現(xiàn)在需要的。這將給我們的信條賦予真正的意義。We, the people, still believe that every citizen deserves a basic measure of security and dignity.We must make the hard choices to reduce the cost of health care and the size of our deficit.But we reject the belief that America must choose between caring for the generation that built this country and investing in the generation that will build its future.For we remember the lessons of our past, when twilight years were spent in poverty, and parents of a child with a disability had nowhere to turn.We do not believe that in this country, freedom is reserved for the lucky, or happiness for the few.We recognize that no matter how responsibly we live our lives, any one of us, at any time, may face a job loss, or a sudden illness, or a home swept away in a terrible storm.The commitments we make to each other – through Medicare, and Medicaid, and Social Security – these things do not sap our initiative;they strengthen us.They do not make us a nation of takers;they free us to take the risks that make this country great.我們，人民，仍然認(rèn)為，每個(gè)公民都應(yīng)當(dāng)獲得基本的安全和尊嚴(yán)。我們必須做出艱難抉擇，降低醫(yī)療成本，縮減赤字規(guī)模。但我們拒絕在照顧建設(shè)國(guó)家的這一代和投 資即將建設(shè)國(guó)家的下一代間做出選擇。因?yàn)槲覀冇浀眠^(guò)去的教訓(xùn)：老年人的夕陽(yáng)時(shí)光在貧困中度過(guò)，家有殘障兒童的父母無(wú)處求助。我們相信，在這個(gè)國(guó)家，自由不只是那些幸運(yùn)兒的專(zhuān)屬，或者說(shuō)幸福只屬于少數(shù)人。我們知道，不管我們?cè)鯓迂?fù)責(zé)任地生活，我們?nèi)魏稳嗽谌魏螘r(shí)候都可能面臨失業(yè)、突發(fā)疾病或住房被可怕的颶風(fēng)摧毀的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)。我們通過(guò)醫(yī)療保險(xiǎn)、聯(lián)邦醫(yī)療補(bǔ)助計(jì)劃、社會(huì)保障項(xiàng)目向每個(gè)人做出承諾，這些不會(huì)讓我們的創(chuàng)造力衰竭，而是會(huì)讓我們更強(qiáng)大。這些不會(huì)讓我們成為充滿(mǎn)不勞而獲者的國(guó)度，這些讓我們敢于承擔(dān)風(fēng)險(xiǎn)，讓國(guó)家偉大。兩分鐘做個(gè)小測(cè)試，看看你的英語(yǔ)水平http://m.meten.com/test/quwen.aspx?tid=16-73675-0

第五篇：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(huì)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(zhǎng)，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(guó)之間的深遠(yuǎn)聯(lián)系和相互尊重。我不知道他剛才說(shuō)什么，但是希望他說(shuō)得不錯(cuò)。(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(gè)開(kāi)場(chǎng)白，但我真正希望做的是回答問(wèn)題，不但回答在座的學(xué)生提出的問(wèn)題，同時(shí)也回答從網(wǎng)上提出的一些問(wèn)題，這些問(wèn)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(gè)和你們對(duì)話(huà)的機(jī)會(huì)。

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(fǎng)問(wèn)中國(guó)，看到你們壯麗的國(guó)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(dòng)態(tài)。這些都是中國(guó)步入 21世紀(jì)的跡象，讓我感到贊嘆。同時(shí)，我也期盼看到向我們展現(xiàn)中國(guó)悠久歷史的古跡。明天和后天我會(huì)在北京，希望有機(jī)會(huì)看到壯觀(guān)的故宮和奇跡般的長(zhǎng)城。的確，這是一個(gè)既有豐富的歷史，又對(duì)未來(lái)的希望充滿(mǎn)信心的國(guó)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(guó)的關(guān)系也是如此。毫無(wú)疑問(wèn)，上海在美中關(guān)系史上是一個(gè)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(bào)》(Shanghai Communique)開(kāi)啟了我們兩國(guó)政府和兩國(guó)人民接觸交往的新篇章。然而，美國(guó)與這個(gè)城市以及這個(gè)國(guó)家的紐帶可以追溯到更久遠(yuǎn)的過(guò)去，直至美國(guó)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(guó)之父喬治?華盛頓主持了“中國(guó)女皇號(hào)”(Emperor China)的下水儀式。這條船前往中國(guó)海岸，尋求與清朝通商。華盛頓希望看到這條懸掛美國(guó)國(guó)旗的船前往世界各地，與像中國(guó)這樣的國(guó)家締結(jié)新的紐帶。這是通常的美國(guó)人的愿望——希望達(dá)到新的地平線(xiàn)，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(gè)世紀(jì)中，歷史洪流使我們兩國(guó)關(guān)系向許多不同的方向發(fā)展，但即使在動(dòng)蕩的歲月中，兩國(guó)人民也抓住機(jī)會(huì)發(fā)展了深入的、甚至極不平凡的關(guān)系。例如，美國(guó)人民永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)忘記，二戰(zhàn)期間，美國(guó)飛行員在中國(guó)上空被擊落后，中國(guó)公民冒著失去一切的危險(xiǎn)護(hù)理他們。參加過(guò)二戰(zhàn)的中國(guó)老兵仍然熱情歡迎故地重游的美國(guó)老兵，他們?cè)?jīng)在那里作戰(zhàn)，幫助中國(guó)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(jiǎn)單的乒乓球比賽帶來(lái)了兩國(guó)關(guān)系的解凍，使我們兩國(guó)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(guó)乒乓球隊(duì)員在回憶對(duì)中國(guó)的訪(fǎng)問(wèn)時(shí)所說(shuō)：“那里的人民和我們一樣……這個(gè)國(guó)家和美國(guó)有許多相似之處，也有很大區(qū)別?！?/p>

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(wú)須贅言，這個(gè)小小的契機(jī)帶來(lái)了《上海公報(bào)》的問(wèn)世，并最終促使美中兩國(guó)在1979年建立正式外交關(guān)系。請(qǐng)看在此后的30年，我們?nèi)〉昧硕嗝撮L(zhǎng)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(guò)4000億美元。貿(mào)易在許多方面影響著兩國(guó)人民的生活，美國(guó)電腦中的許多元件以及我們身穿的服裝都是從中國(guó)進(jìn)口的，我們向中國(guó)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(huì)，讓我們的人民過(guò)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(duì)的競(jìng)爭(zhēng)對(duì)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?cè)诋?dāng)今時(shí)代的關(guān)鍵性全球問(wèn)題上建立伙伴關(guān)系打開(kāi)了大門(mén)，這些問(wèn)題包括：經(jīng)濟(jì)復(fù)蘇和清潔能源開(kāi)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(wèn)題都是我明天與胡主席會(huì)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(guó)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(guó)留學(xué)生在美國(guó)的人數(shù)名列第二，而在美國(guó)學(xué)生中，學(xué)中文的人數(shù)增加了50%。我們兩國(guó)有近200個(gè)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(guó)人民都熱愛(ài)籃球的僅僅一個(gè)標(biāo)志而已——令我遺憾的是，此行中我不能觀(guān)看上海大鯊魚(yú)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(guó)之間的關(guān)系相伴著一個(gè)積極變化的時(shí)期，這不是偶然的。中國(guó)實(shí)現(xiàn)了億萬(wàn)人民脫貧，這一成就史無(wú)前例，同時(shí)，中國(guó)在全球問(wèn)題中也在發(fā)揮更大的作用。美國(guó)在促使冷戰(zhàn)順利結(jié)束的同時(shí)，經(jīng)濟(jì)也取得了增長(zhǎng)，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(guó)有句名言：“溫故而知新?！碑?dāng)然，過(guò)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(méi)有分歧和困難。但是，“我們必然是對(duì)手”的概念并非是注定不變的——回顧過(guò)去不會(huì)是這樣。由于我們的合作，美中兩國(guó)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。
