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3 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.我認(rèn)為每個(gè)國(guó)家都應(yīng)該勾畫(huà)出自己要走的路,中國(guó)是一個(gè)文明古國(guó),它有著博大精深的文化。相對(duì)而言,美國(guó)是一個(gè)年輕的國(guó)家,它的文化受到來(lái)自許多不同國(guó)家移民的影響,還受到我們民主制度文件的影響。
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.我有一個(gè)非常簡(jiǎn)單的向往,代表了一些核心的原則,就是所有的人生來(lái)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(kāi)放的,信息流通應(yīng)當(dāng)是自由的,而法律要保證這個(gè)公平。
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.當(dāng)然,我們的國(guó)家歷史也不是沒(méi)有過(guò)困難的地方,從很多方面來(lái)講,很多年以來(lái),我們是通過(guò)斗爭(zhēng)來(lái)促進(jìn)這些原則或者使所有的人民能夠享受到。為了締造一個(gè)更完美的聯(lián)合,我們也打過(guò)一個(gè)很痛苦的內(nèi)戰(zhàn),把一部分我們被奴役的人口釋放出來(lái),經(jīng)過(guò)一段時(shí)間才能使婦女有投票權(quán),勞工有組織權(quán),包括來(lái)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(guó)人也和美國(guó)人經(jīng)過(guò)一些分開(kāi)的、不平等的條件,經(jīng)過(guò)一段時(shí)間才爭(zhēng)取到全面的平等權(quán)利。
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.所有這些是不容易的。但是我們對(duì)這些核心原則的信念使我們?nèi)〉昧诉M(jìn)展,在最黑暗的風(fēng)暴當(dāng)中作為我們的指南針。這是為什么林肯在內(nèi)戰(zhàn)期間站起來(lái)說(shuō)過(guò),任何一個(gè)國(guó)家以自由、以所有人類(lèi)平等的原則能夠長(zhǎng)久的存在,也就是為什么金博士在林肯紀(jì)念館的前臺(tái)站起來(lái),說(shuō)我們國(guó)家要必須真正的實(shí)現(xiàn)我們的信念。也就是為什么來(lái)自中國(guó)或者肯尼亞的移民能夠到我們的家,也是為什么一個(gè)不到50年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(gè)國(guó)家的總統(tǒng)。
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.這就是為什么美國(guó)永遠(yuǎn)為了全世界各地的核心原則說(shuō)話,我們不尋求把任何政治體制強(qiáng)制給任何國(guó)家,但是我們也不認(rèn)為我們所支持的這些原則是我們國(guó)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(huì)、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的,包括少數(shù)民族和宗教的族群,不管是在中國(guó)、美國(guó)和任何國(guó)家,對(duì)于普遍權(quán)利的尊敬,作為美國(guó)對(duì)其他國(guó)家的開(kāi)放態(tài)度的指導(dǎo)原則,我們對(duì)其他文化的尊重,我們對(duì)國(guó)際法的承諾和對(duì)未來(lái)的信念的原則。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
第二篇: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,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。

奧巴馬(歐巴馬)和胡錦濤于11月17日在北京舉行聯(lián)合新聞?dòng)浾邥?huì),分別發(fā)表講話。奧巴馬總統(tǒng)的講話全文,英語(yǔ)演講稿+翻譯。
PRESIDENT OBAMA: Good afternoon.I want to start by thanking President Hu and the Chinese people for the warmth and hospitality that they have shown myself and our delegation since we arrived.We had a wonderful day in Shanghai yesterday, a wonderful discussion with China’s young men and women, and I’m looking forward to the conversations we’ll have and the sights that we’ll see here in Beijing over the next two days.奧巴馬總統(tǒng):下午好。首先我要感謝胡主席和中國(guó)人民從我們到來(lái)后給予我和代表團(tuán)的熱情款待。昨天,我們?cè)谏虾6冗^(guò)了非常愉快的一天,同中國(guó)男女青年進(jìn)行了一次十分愉快的討論。我期待著我們今明兩天將在北京進(jìn)行的會(huì)談和景點(diǎn)參觀。
We meet here at a time when the relationship between the United States and China has never been more important to our collective future.The major challenges of the 21st century, from climate change to nuclear proliferation to economic recovery, are challenges that touch both our nations, and challenges that neither of our nations can solve by acting alone.我們是在美中關(guān)系對(duì)我們的共同未來(lái)具有前所未有的重要性的時(shí)刻在這里舉行會(huì)晤。21世紀(jì)的各項(xiàng)重大挑戰(zhàn),無(wú)論是氣候變化、核擴(kuò)散還是經(jīng)濟(jì)復(fù)蘇,都與我們兩個(gè)國(guó)家相關(guān),而且哪個(gè)國(guó)家都不能通過(guò)單獨(dú)行動(dòng)來(lái)對(duì)付這些挑戰(zhàn)。
That’s why the United States welcomes China’s efforts in playing a greater role on the world stage--a role in which a growing economy is joined by growing responsibilities.And that’s why President Hu and I talked about continuing to build a positive, cooperative, and comprehensive relationship between our nations.這就是為什么美國(guó)歡迎中國(guó)努力在世界舞臺(tái)上發(fā)揮更大的作用——這個(gè)作用意味著伴隨經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展而增長(zhǎng)的責(zé)任。這也就是為什么胡主席和我都談到要繼續(xù)建立積極合作全面的美中關(guān)系。

世紀(jì)金榜 圓您夢(mèng)想 004km.cn As President Hu indicated, we discussed what’s required to sustain this economic recovery so that economic growth is followed by the creation of new jobs and lasting prosperity.So far China’s partnership has proved critical in our effort to pull ourselves out of the worst recession in generations.如胡主席所說(shuō),我們討論了要使經(jīng)濟(jì)復(fù)蘇持續(xù)所必須采取的措施,以便使經(jīng)濟(jì)增長(zhǎng)帶來(lái)新的就業(yè)機(jī)會(huì),實(shí)現(xiàn)持久繁榮。迄今,與中國(guó)的伙伴關(guān)系被證明在我們?yōu)閿[脫幾代人以來(lái)最嚴(yán)重的衰退所作的努力中至關(guān)重要。
Going forward, we agreed to advance the pledge made at the G20 summit in Pittsburgh and pursue a strategy of more balanced economic growth--a strategy where America saves more, spends less, reduces our long-term debt, and where China makes adjustments across a broad range of policies to rebalance its economy and spur domestic demand.This will lead to increased U.S.exports and jobs, on the one hand, and higher living standards in China on the other.展望未來(lái),我們同意推進(jìn)我們?cè)谄テ澅?0國(guó)集團(tuán)峰會(huì)上所作的保證,實(shí)施經(jīng)濟(jì)更平衡增長(zhǎng)的策略。根據(jù)這一策略,美國(guó)要增加儲(chǔ)蓄,降低消費(fèi),減少長(zhǎng)期債務(wù),而中國(guó)則要進(jìn)行各項(xiàng)政策調(diào)整以平衡經(jīng)濟(jì),刺激內(nèi)需。這樣,將一方面增加美國(guó)的出口和就業(yè)機(jī)會(huì),另一方面提高中國(guó)的生活水平。
As President Hu indicated, we also agreed that maintaining open market and free flows of commerce in both our nations will contribute to our shared prosperity.And I was pleased to note the Chinese commitment, made in past statements, to move toward a more market-oriented exchange rate over time.I emphasized in our discussions, and have others in the region, that doing so based on economic fundamentals would make an essential contribution to the global rebalancing effort.如胡主席所說(shuō),我們還一致認(rèn)為,保持我們兩國(guó)市場(chǎng)的開(kāi)放和商貿(mào)的自由流通將能增進(jìn)我們的共同繁榮。我很高興地注意到,中國(guó)多次表示了對(duì)逐步實(shí)現(xiàn)在更大程度上由市場(chǎng)決定匯率的承諾。我在雙方以及在與地區(qū)其他各方的討論中強(qiáng)調(diào),這樣按照基本經(jīng)濟(jì)原理行事將是對(duì)全球經(jīng)濟(jì)的重新平衡的重大貢獻(xiàn)。
President Hu and I also made progress on the issue of climate change.As the two largest consumers and producers of energy, there can be no solution to this challenge without the efforts of both China 第2頁(yè)(共6頁(yè))

世紀(jì)金榜 圓您夢(mèng)想 004km.cn and the United States.That’s why we’ve agreed to a series of important new initiatives in this area.As President Hu indicated, we are creating a joint clean energy research center, and have achieved agreements on energy efficiency, renewable energy, cleaner uses of coal, electric vehicles, and shale gas.胡主席和我在氣候變化問(wèn)題上也取得了進(jìn)展。作為能源的最大消費(fèi)國(guó)和生產(chǎn)國(guó),沒(méi)有中美兩國(guó)的共同努力就無(wú)法成功地應(yīng)對(duì)這一挑戰(zhàn)。因此我們同意在這一領(lǐng)域采取一系列新的重要行動(dòng)。胡主席已說(shuō)明,我們將設(shè)立一個(gè)清潔能源聯(lián)合研究中心,我們還就能效、可再生能源、清潔使用煤炭、電動(dòng)車(chē)輛和頁(yè)巖氣等問(wèn)題達(dá)成一致。
We also agreed to work toward a successful outcome in Copenhagen.Our aim there, in support of what Prime Minister Rasmussen of Denmark is trying to achieve, is not a partial accord or a political declaration, but rather an accord that covers all of the issues in the negotiations, and one that has immediate operational effect.This kind of comprehensive agreement would be an important step forward in the effort to rally the world around a solution to our climate challenge.And we agreed that each of us would take significant mitigation actions and stand behind these commitments.我們還同意為哥本哈根會(huì)議取得成果而努力。為支持丹麥?zhǔn)紫嗬鼓律≧asmussen)所爭(zhēng)取實(shí)現(xiàn)的目標(biāo),我們將不是致力于一項(xiàng)局部性的協(xié)議,也不是一份政治宣言,而是一項(xiàng)包含談判涉及的所有問(wèn)題的協(xié)議,一項(xiàng)可立即運(yùn)作的協(xié)議。這樣的全面協(xié)議將使動(dòng)員全世界共同應(yīng)對(duì)氣候挑戰(zhàn)的努力向前跨出重要一步。我們同意,雙方都將采取重大的減緩行動(dòng),堅(jiān)定地履行這些承諾。
On the issue of nonproliferation, President Hu and I discussed our shared commitment to stop the spread of nuclear weapons, and I told him how appreciative I am of China’s support for the global nonproliferation regime as well as the verifiable elimination of North Korea’s nuclear weapons program.在防擴(kuò)散問(wèn)題上,胡主席和我討論了制止核武器擴(kuò)散的共同承諾,我向胡主席表示了我對(duì)中國(guó)支持全球防擴(kuò)散制度和可驗(yàn)證地消除北韓核武器項(xiàng)目的極大贊賞。

世紀(jì)金榜 圓您夢(mèng)想 004km.cn We agreed on the importance of resuming the six-party talks as soon as possible.As I said in Tokyo, North Korea has a choice: It can continue down the path of confrontation and provocation that has led to less security, less prosperity, and more isolation from the global community, or it can choose to become a full member of the international community, which will give a better life to its people by living up to international obligations and foregoing nuclear weapons.我們一致認(rèn)為盡快恢復(fù)六方會(huì)談是重要的。正如我在東京說(shuō)過(guò)的,北韓面臨一個(gè)選擇:它可以繼續(xù)沿著對(duì)峙挑釁的道路走下去,結(jié)果只會(huì)是安全更少,繁榮更小,在全球社會(huì)中更加孤立;它也可以選擇成為國(guó)際社會(huì)的正式成員,恪守國(guó)際義務(wù),放棄核武器,讓自己的人民過(guò)上更好的生活。
In the same way, we agreed that the Islamic Republic of Iran must provide assurances to the international community that its nuclear program is peaceful and transparent.On this point, our two nations and the rest of our P5-plus-1 partners are unified.Iran has an opportunity to present and demonstrate its peaceful intentions, but if it fails to take this opportunity there will be consequences.同樣地,我們也一致認(rèn)為伊朗伊斯蘭共和國(guó)必須向國(guó)際社會(huì)提供保證,保證其核項(xiàng)目是和平而且透明的。在這一點(diǎn)上,我們兩國(guó)和五常加一的其他伙伴國(guó)意見(jiàn)一致。伊朗有此機(jī)會(huì)展示和表明其和平的目的,但如果它沒(méi)能利用這次機(jī)會(huì),則將面臨后果。
President Hu and I also discussed our mutual interest in security and stability of Afghanistan and Pakistan.And neither country can or should be used as a base for terrorism, and we agreed to cooperate more on meeting this goal, including bringing about more stable, peaceful relations in all of South Asia.胡錦濤主席和我還討論了我們對(duì)阿富汗和巴基斯坦的安全和穩(wěn)定的共同利益。這兩個(gè)國(guó)家都不能也不應(yīng)該成為恐怖分子的基地。我們同意為達(dá)到這個(gè)目標(biāo)加深合作,包括在整個(gè)南亞建設(shè)更穩(wěn)定、和平的關(guān)系。
Finally, as I did yesterday in Shanghai, I spoke to President Hu about America’s bedrock beliefs that all men and women possess certain fundamental human rights.We do not believe these principles are unique to America, but rather they are universal rights and that they should be available to all peoples, to all ethnic and religious minorities.And our two countries agreed to 第4頁(yè)(共6頁(yè))

世紀(jì)金榜 圓您夢(mèng)想 004km.cn continue to move this discussion forward in a human rights dialogue that is scheduled for early next year.最后,如同我昨天在上海時(shí)一樣,我向胡錦濤主席談了美國(guó)的基本信念,即人人都有某些最基本的人權(quán)。我們不認(rèn)為這些原則是美國(guó)特有的,它們是普遍的權(quán)利。各國(guó)人民,各個(gè)少數(shù)民族和宗教少數(shù)派都應(yīng)該享有。我們兩國(guó)同意在定于明年年初舉行的人權(quán)對(duì)話中繼續(xù)推動(dòng)這種討論。
As President Hu indicated, the United States respects the sovereignty and territorial integrity of China.And once again, we have reaffirmed our strong commitment to a one-China policy.正如胡錦濤主席指出的那樣,美國(guó)尊重中國(guó)的主權(quán)和領(lǐng)土完整。我們?cè)俅沃厣陮?duì)一個(gè)中國(guó)政策的承諾。
We did note that while we recognize that Tibet is part of the People’s Republic of China, the United States supports the early resumption of dialogue between the Chinese government and representatives of the Dalai Lama to resolve any concerns and differences that the two sides may have.We also applauded the steps that the People’s Republic of China and Taiwan have already taken to relax tensions and build ties across the Taiwan Strait.我們的確指出,盡管我們承認(rèn)西藏是中華人民共和國(guó)的一部分,但美國(guó)支持中國(guó)政府與**喇嘛的代表早日恢復(fù)對(duì)話,以解決雙方存在的擔(dān)憂和分歧。我們也對(duì)中華人民共和國(guó)和臺(tái)灣已經(jīng)采取的緩和緊張局勢(shì)和建立海峽兩岸聯(lián)系的步驟表示贊賞。
Our own policy, based on the three U.S.-China communiqués and the Taiwan Relations Act, supports the further development of these ties--ties that are in the interest of both sides, as well as the broader region and the United States.基于美中三個(gè)聯(lián)合公報(bào)和《臺(tái)灣關(guān)系法》,我們自身的政策是支持繼續(xù)發(fā)展這些關(guān)系——這些關(guān)系有利于雙方,有利于更廣大的地區(qū)和美國(guó)。

Given that interconnection, I do not believe that one country’s success must come at the expense of another.That’s why the United States welcomes China as a strong, prosperous and successful member of the community of nations.鑒于這種相互關(guān)聯(lián),我不認(rèn)為一個(gè)國(guó)家的成功必須以犧牲另一個(gè)國(guó)家的利益為代價(jià)。這就是為什么美國(guó)歡迎中國(guó)成為國(guó)際社會(huì)中一個(gè)強(qiáng)大、繁榮和成功的成員。
Our relationship going forward will not be without disagreement or difficulty.But because of our cooperation, both the United States and China are more prosperous and secure.We’ve seen what’s possible when we build upon our mutual interests and engage on the basis of equality and mutual respect.And I very much look forward to deepening that engagement and understanding during this trip and in the months and years to come.我們未來(lái)的關(guān)系不會(huì)沒(méi)有分歧和困難。但由于我們的合作,美國(guó)和中國(guó)都更繁榮、更安全。我們已經(jīng)看到,當(dāng)我們?cè)诨ダ幕A(chǔ)上發(fā)展、在平等和相互尊重的基礎(chǔ)上往來(lái)時(shí)能夠取得什么樣的成果。我非常期待在這次訪問(wèn)中和在未來(lái)的歲月里,加深這種交往和理解。

奧巴馬北京演講稿(中英文對(duì)照)
奧巴馬(歐巴馬)和胡錦濤于11月17日在北京舉行聯(lián)合新聞?dòng)浾邥?huì),分別發(fā)表講話。奧巴馬總統(tǒng)的講話全文,英語(yǔ)演講稿+翻譯。
PRESIDENT OBAMA: Good afternoon.I want to start by thanking President Hu and the Chinese people for the warmth and hospitality that they have shown myself and our delegation since we arrived.We had a wonderful day in Shanghai yesterday, a wonderful discussion with China’s young men and women, and I’m looking forward to the conversations we’ll have and the sights that we’ll see here in Beijing over the next two days.奧巴馬總統(tǒng):下午好。首先我要感謝胡主席和中國(guó)人民從我們到來(lái)后給予我和代表團(tuán)的熱情款待。昨天,我們?cè)谏虾6冗^(guò)了非常愉快的一天,同中國(guó)男女青年進(jìn)行了一次十分愉快的討論。我期待著我們今明兩天將在北京進(jìn)行的會(huì)談和景點(diǎn)參觀。
We meet here at a time when the relationship between the United States and China has never been more important to our collective future.The major challenges of the 21st century, from climate change to nuclear proliferation to economic recovery, are challenges that touch both our nations, and challenges that neither of our nations can solve by acting alone.我們是在美中關(guān)系對(duì)我們的共同未來(lái)具有前所未有的重要性的時(shí)刻在這里舉行會(huì)晤。21世紀(jì)的各項(xiàng)重大挑戰(zhàn),無(wú)論是氣候變化、核擴(kuò)散還是經(jīng)濟(jì)復(fù)蘇,都與我們兩個(gè)國(guó)家相關(guān),而且哪個(gè)國(guó)家都不能通過(guò)單獨(dú)行動(dòng)來(lái)對(duì)付這些挑戰(zhàn)。
That’s why the United States welcomes China’s efforts in playing a greater role on the world stage--a role in which a growing economy is joined by growing responsibilities.And that’s why President Hu and I talked about continuing to build a positive, cooperative, and comprehensive relationship between our nations.這就是為什么美國(guó)歡迎中國(guó)努力在世界舞臺(tái)上發(fā)揮更大的作用——這個(gè)作用意味著伴隨經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展而增長(zhǎng)的責(zé)任。這也就是為什么胡主席和我都談到要繼續(xù)建立積極合作全面的美中關(guān)系。As President Hu indicated, we discussed what’s required to sustain this economic recovery so that economic growth is followed by the creation of new jobs and lasting prosperity.So far China’s partnership has proved critical in our effort to pull ourselves out of the worst recession in generations.如胡主席所說(shuō),我們討論了要使經(jīng)濟(jì)復(fù)蘇持續(xù)所必須采取的措施,以便使經(jīng)濟(jì)增長(zhǎng)帶來(lái)新的就業(yè)機(jī)會(huì),實(shí)現(xiàn)持久繁榮。迄今,與中國(guó)的伙伴關(guān)系被證明在我們?yōu)閿[脫幾代人以來(lái)最嚴(yán)重的衰退所作的努力中至關(guān)重要。
Going forward, we agreed to advance the pledge made at the G20 summit in Pittsburgh and pursue a strategy of more balanced economic growth--a strategy where America saves more, spends less, reduces our long-term debt, and where China makes adjustments across a broad range of policies to rebalance its economy and spur domestic demand.This will lead to increased U.S.exports and jobs, on the one hand, and higher living standards in China on the other.第1頁(yè)(共4頁(yè))

世紀(jì)金榜 圓您夢(mèng)想 004km.cn 展望未來(lái),我們同意推進(jìn)我們?cè)谄テ澅?0國(guó)集團(tuán)峰會(huì)上所作的保證,實(shí)施經(jīng)濟(jì)更平衡增長(zhǎng)的策略。根據(jù)這一策略,美國(guó)要增加儲(chǔ)蓄,降低消費(fèi),減少長(zhǎng)期債務(wù),而中國(guó)則要進(jìn)行各項(xiàng)政策調(diào)整以平衡經(jīng)濟(jì),刺激內(nèi)需。這樣,將一方面增加美國(guó)的出口和就業(yè)機(jī)會(huì),另一方面提高中國(guó)的生活水平。
As President Hu indicated, we also agreed that maintaining open market and free flows of commerce in both our nations will contribute to our shared prosperity.And I was pleased to note the Chinese commitment, made in past statements, to move toward a more market-oriented exchange rate over time.I emphasized in our discussions, and have others in the region, that doing so based on economic fundamentals would make an essential contribution to the global rebalancing effort.如胡主席所說(shuō),我們還一致認(rèn)為,保持我們兩國(guó)市場(chǎng)的開(kāi)放和商貿(mào)的自由流通將能增進(jìn)我們的共同繁榮。我很高興地注意到,中國(guó)多次表示了對(duì)逐步實(shí)現(xiàn)在更大程度上由市場(chǎng)決定匯率的承諾。我在雙方以及在與地區(qū)其他各方的討論中強(qiáng)調(diào),這樣按照基本經(jīng)濟(jì)原理行事將是對(duì)全球經(jīng)濟(jì)的重新平衡的重大貢獻(xiàn)。
President Hu and I also made progress on the issue of climate change.As the two largest consumers and producers of energy, there can be no solution to this challenge without the efforts of both China and the United States.That’s why we’ve agreed to a series of important new initiatives in this area.As President Hu indicated, we are creating a joint clean energy research center, and have achieved agreements on energy efficiency, renewable energy, cleaner uses of coal, electric vehicles, and shale gas.胡主席和我在氣候變化問(wèn)題上也取得了進(jìn)展。作為能源的最大消費(fèi)國(guó)和生產(chǎn)國(guó),沒(méi)有中美兩國(guó)的共同努力就無(wú)法成功地應(yīng)對(duì)這一挑戰(zhàn)。因此我們同意在這一領(lǐng)域采取一系列新的重要行動(dòng)。胡主席已說(shuō)明,我們將設(shè)立一個(gè)清潔能源聯(lián)合研究中心,我們還就能效、可再生能源、清潔使用煤炭、電動(dòng)車(chē)輛和頁(yè)巖氣等問(wèn)題達(dá)成一致。
We also agreed to work toward a successful outcome in Copenhagen.Our aim there, in support of what Prime Minister Rasmussen of Denmark is trying to achieve, is not a partial accord or a political declaration, but rather an accord that covers all of the issues in the negotiations, and one that has immediate operational effect.This kind of comprehensive agreement would be an important step forward in the effort to rally the world around a solution to our climate challenge.And we agreed that each of us would take significant mitigation actions and stand behind these commitments.我們還同意為哥本哈根會(huì)議取得成果而努力。為支持丹麥?zhǔn)紫嗬鼓律≧asmussen)所爭(zhēng)取實(shí)現(xiàn)的目標(biāo),我們將不是致力于一項(xiàng)局部性的協(xié)議,也不是一份政治宣言,而是一項(xiàng)包含談判涉及的所有問(wèn)題的協(xié)議,一項(xiàng)可立即運(yùn)作的協(xié)議。這樣的全面協(xié)議將使動(dòng)員全世界共同應(yīng)對(duì)氣候挑戰(zhàn)的努力向前跨出重要一步。我們同意,雙方都將采取重大的減緩行動(dòng),堅(jiān)定地履行這些承諾。
On the issue of nonproliferation, President Hu and I discussed our shared commitment to stop the spread of nuclear weapons, and I told him how appreciative I am of China’s support for the global nonproliferation regime as well as the verifiable elimination of North Korea’s nuclear weapons program.在防擴(kuò)散問(wèn)題上,胡主席和我討論了制止核武器擴(kuò)散的共同承諾,我向胡主席表示了我對(duì)中國(guó)支持全球防擴(kuò)散制度和可驗(yàn)證地消除北韓核武器項(xiàng)目的極大贊賞。

As President Hu indicated, the United States respects the sovereignty and territorial integrity of China.And once again, we have reaffirmed our strong commitment to a one-China policy.正如胡錦濤主席指出的那樣,美國(guó)尊重中國(guó)的主權(quán)和領(lǐng)土完整。我們?cè)俅沃厣陮?duì)一個(gè)中國(guó)政策的承諾。

今天奧巴馬就要正式上任并送走美國(guó)前總統(tǒng)布什了,似乎奧巴馬的獲選已是意料之中的事。雖然布什在在任的八年里做過(guò)許多“轟天動(dòng)地”的事也讓美國(guó)遭遇了一些歷史性的災(zāi)難事件,但仍有網(wǎng)友會(huì)開(kāi)玩笑的認(rèn)為布什的離去會(huì)讓世界變得無(wú)聊許多,想想似乎也有些道理哦。奧巴馬似乎是第一個(gè)被美國(guó)民眾給予希望最大的總統(tǒng),當(dāng)然了,這主要?dú)w因于金融危機(jī)帶來(lái)巨大創(chuàng)傷。
拋去政治因素,從一個(gè)純粹的英語(yǔ)學(xué)習(xí)者的角度來(lái)說(shuō),我比較喜歡布什的美國(guó)口音,聽(tīng)起來(lái)比較清晰平緩,而奧巴馬的口音就比較渾厚,聽(tīng)起來(lái)較費(fèi)力。下面就是奧巴馬演講的視頻和演講稿,可以訓(xùn)練下英語(yǔ)學(xué)習(xí)者的聽(tīng)力和口語(yǔ)。
雙語(yǔ)閱讀:奧巴馬獲勝演講全文(新東方譯文)Hello, Chicago!
芝加哥,你好!
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.如果有人懷疑美國(guó)是個(gè)一切皆有可能的地方,懷疑美國(guó)奠基者的夢(mèng)想在我們這個(gè)時(shí)代依然燃燒,懷疑我們民主的力量,那么今晚這些疑問(wèn)都有了答案。
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.學(xué)校和教堂門(mén)外的長(zhǎng)龍便是答案。排隊(duì)的人數(shù)之多,在美國(guó)歷史上前所未有。為了投票,他們排隊(duì)長(zhǎng)達(dá)三、四個(gè)小時(shí)。許多人一生中第一次投票,因?yàn)樗麄冋J(rèn)為這一次大選結(jié)果必須不同以往,而他們手中的一票可能決定勝負(fù)。
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 disabled — Americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been a collection of red states and blue states;we are, and always will be, the United States of America.無(wú)論年齡,無(wú)論貧富,無(wú)論民主黨人或共和黨人,無(wú)論黑人、白人,無(wú)論拉美裔、亞裔、印地安人, 無(wú)論同性戀、異性戀,無(wú)論殘障人、健全人,所有的人,他們向全世界喊出了同一個(gè)聲音:我們并不隸屬 “紅州”與 “藍(lán)州”的對(duì)立陣營(yíng),我們屬于美利堅(jiān)合眾國(guó),現(xiàn)在如此,永遠(yuǎn)如此!
It's the answer that led those who have been told for so long by so many to be cynical, and fearful, and doubtful of what we can achieve to put their hands on the arc of history and bend it once more toward the hope of a better day.長(zhǎng)久以來(lái),很多人說(shuō):我們對(duì)自己的能量應(yīng)該冷漠,應(yīng)該恐懼,應(yīng)該懷疑。但是,歷史之輪如今已在我們手中,我們又一次將歷史之輪轉(zhuǎn)往更美好的未來(lái)。
It's been a long time coming, but tonight, because of what we did on this day, in this election, at this defining moment, change has come to America.漫漫征程,今宵終于來(lái)臨。特殊的一天,特殊的一次大選,特殊的決定性時(shí)刻,美國(guó)迎來(lái)了變革。
I just received a very gracious call from Sen.McCain.He fought long and hard in this campaign, and he's fought even longer and harder for the country he loves.He has endured sacrifices for America that most of us cannot begin to imagine, and we are better off for the service rendered by this brave and selfless leader.I congratulate him and Gov.Palin for all they have achieved, and I look forward to working with them to renew this nation's promise in the months ahead.剛才,麥凱恩參議員很有風(fēng)度地給我打了個(gè)電話。在這次競(jìng)選中,他的努力持久而艱巨。為了這個(gè)他摯愛(ài)的國(guó)家,他的努力更持久、更艱巨。他為美國(guó)的奉獻(xiàn)超出絕大多數(shù)人的想象。他是一位勇敢無(wú)私的領(lǐng)袖,有了他的奉獻(xiàn),我們的生活才更美好。我對(duì)他和佩林州長(zhǎng)的成績(jī)表示祝賀。同時(shí),我也期待著與他們共同努力,再續(xù)美國(guó)輝煌。
I want to thank my partner in this journey, a man who campaigned from his heart and spoke for the men and women he grew up with on the streets of Scranton and rode with on that train home to Delaware, the vice-president-elect of the United States, Joe Biden.我要感謝我的競(jìng)選搭檔——當(dāng)選副總統(tǒng)喬?拜登。為了與他一起在斯克蘭頓市街頭長(zhǎng)大、一起坐火車(chē)返回特拉華州的人們,拜登全心全意地竟選,他代表了這些普通人的聲音。
I would not be standing here tonight without the unyielding support of my best friend for the last 16 years, the rock of our family and the love of my life, our nation's next first lady, Michelle Obama.Sasha and Malia, I love you both so much, and you have earned the new puppy that's coming with us to the White House.And while she's no longer with us, I know my grandmother is watching, along with the family that made me who I am.I miss them tonight, and know that my debt to them is beyond measure.我要感謝下一位第一夫人米歇爾?奧巴馬。她是我家的中流砥柱,是我生命中的最?lèi)?ài)。沒(méi)有她在過(guò)去16年來(lái)的堅(jiān)定支持,今晚我就不可能站在這里。我要感謝兩個(gè)女兒薩沙和瑪麗婭,我太愛(ài)你們兩個(gè)了,你們將得到一條新的小狗,它將與我們一起入住白宮。我還要感謝已去世的外婆,我知道此刻她正在天上注視著我。她與我的家人一起造就了今天的我。今夜我思念他們,他們對(duì)我的恩情比山高、比海深。
To my campaign manager, David Plouffe;my chief strategist, David Axelrod;and the best campaign team ever assembled in the history of politics — you made this happen, and I am forever grateful for what you've sacrificed to get it done.我要感謝我的競(jìng)選經(jīng)理大衛(wèi)?普魯夫,感謝首席策劃師大衛(wèi)?阿克塞羅德以及整個(gè)競(jìng)選團(tuán)隊(duì),他們是政治史上最優(yōu)秀的競(jìng)選團(tuán)隊(duì)。你們成就了今夜,我永遠(yuǎn)感謝你們?yōu)榻褚顾冻龅囊磺小?/p>
But above all, I will never forget who this victory truly belongs to — it belongs to you.但最重要的是,我將永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)忘記這場(chǎng)勝利真正屬于誰(shuí)---是你們!
I was never the likeliest candidate for this office.We didn't start with much money or many endorsements.Our campaign was not hatched in the halls of Washington — it began in the backyards of Des Moines and the living rooms of Concord and the front porches of Charleston.我從來(lái)不是最有希望的候選人。起初,我們的資金不多,贊助人也不多。我們的競(jìng)選并非始于華盛頓的華麗大廳,而是起于德莫奈地區(qū)某家的后院、康科德地區(qū)的某家客廳、查爾斯頓地區(qū)的某家前廊。
It was built by working men and women who dug into what little savings they had to give $5 and $10 and $20 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.勞動(dòng)大眾從自己的微薄積蓄中掏出5美元、10美元、20美元,拿來(lái)捐助我們的事業(yè)。年輕人證明了他們絕非所謂“冷漠的一代”。他們遠(yuǎn)離家鄉(xiāng)和親人,拿著微薄的報(bào)酬,起早摸黑地助選。上了年紀(jì)的人也頂著嚴(yán)寒酷暑,敲開(kāi)陌生人的家門(mén)助選。無(wú)數(shù)美國(guó)人自愿組織起來(lái),充當(dāng)自愿者。正是這些人壯大了我們的聲勢(shì)。他們的行動(dòng)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。
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 lifetime — two wars, a planet in peril, the worst financial crisis in a century.Even as we stand here tonight, we know there are brave Americans waking up in the deserts of Iraq and the mountains of Afghanistan to risk their lives for us.There are mothers and fathers who will lie awake after their children fall asleep and wonder how they'll make the mortgage, or pay their doctor's bills, or save enough for college.There is new energy to harness and new jobs to be created;new schools to build and threats to meet and alliances to repair.你們這樣做,并不只是為了贏得一場(chǎng)大選,更不是為了我個(gè)人。你們這樣做,是因?yàn)槟銈兦宄磥?lái)的任務(wù)有多么艱巨。今晚我們?cè)跉g慶,明天我們就將面對(duì)一生之中最為嚴(yán)峻的挑戰(zhàn)--兩場(chǎng)戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)、一個(gè)充滿危險(xiǎn)的星球,還有百年一遇的金融危機(jī)。今晚我們?cè)谶@里慶祝,但我們知道在伊拉克的沙漠里,在阿富汗的群山中,許許多多勇敢的美國(guó)人醒來(lái)后就將為了我們而面臨生命危險(xiǎn)。許許多多的父母會(huì)在孩子熟睡后仍難以入眠,他們正在為月供、醫(yī)藥費(fèi),孩子今后的大學(xué)費(fèi)用而發(fā)愁。我們需要開(kāi)發(fā)新能源,創(chuàng)造就業(yè)機(jī)會(huì),建造新學(xué)校,迎接挑戰(zhàn)和威脅,并修復(fù)與盟國(guó)的關(guān)系。
The road ahead will be long.Our climb will be steep.We may not get there in one year, or even one term, but America — I have never been more hopeful than I am tonight that we will get there.I promise you: We as a people will get there.前方道路還很漫長(zhǎng),任務(wù)艱巨。一年之內(nèi),甚至一屆總統(tǒng)任期之內(nèi),我們可能都無(wú)法完成這些任務(wù)。但我從未像今晚這樣對(duì)美國(guó)滿懷希望,我相信我們會(huì)實(shí)現(xiàn)這個(gè)目標(biāo)。我向你們承諾--我們美利堅(jiān)民族將實(shí)現(xiàn)這一目標(biāo)!
There will be setbacks and false starts.There are many who won't agree with every decision or policy I make as president, and we know that government can't solve every problem.But I will always be honest with you about the challenges we face.I will listen to you, especially when we disagree.And, above all, I will ask you join in the work of remaking this nation the only way it's been done in America for 221 years — block by block, brick by brick, callused hand by callused hand.我們會(huì)遇到挫折,會(huì)出師不利,會(huì)有許多人不認(rèn)同我的某一項(xiàng)決定或政策。政府并不能解決所有問(wèn)題,但我會(huì)向你們坦陳我們所面臨的挑戰(zhàn)。我會(huì)聆聽(tīng)你們的意見(jiàn),尤其是在我們意見(jiàn)相左之時(shí)。最重要的是,我會(huì)讓你們一起重建這個(gè)國(guó)家。用自己的雙手,從一磚一瓦做起。這是美國(guó)立國(guó)221年以來(lái)的前進(jìn)方式,也是惟一的方式。
What began 21 months ago in the depths of winter must not end on this autumn night.This victory alone is not the change we seek — it is only the chance for us to make that change.And that cannot happen if we go back to the way things were.It cannot happen without you.21個(gè)月前那個(gè)隆冬所開(kāi)始的一切,絕不應(yīng)在這一個(gè)秋夜結(jié)束。我們所尋求的變革并不只是贏得大選,這只是給變革提供了一個(gè)機(jī)會(huì)。假如我們照老路子辦事,就沒(méi)有變革;沒(méi)有你們,就沒(méi)有變革。
So let us summon a new spirit of patriotism;of service and responsibility where each of us resolves to pitch in and work harder and look after not only ourselves, but each other.Let us remember that if this financial crisis taught us anything, it's that we cannot have a thriving Wall Street while Main Street suffers.In this country, we rise or fall as one nation — as one people.讓我們重新發(fā)揚(yáng)愛(ài)國(guó)精神,樹(shù)立嶄新的服務(wù)意識(shí)、責(zé)任感,每個(gè)人下定決心,一起努力工作,彼此關(guān)愛(ài);讓我們牢記這場(chǎng)金融危機(jī)帶來(lái)的教訓(xùn):不能允許商業(yè)街掙扎的同時(shí)卻讓華爾街繁榮。在這個(gè)國(guó)家,我們作為同一個(gè)民族,同生死共存亡。
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 House — a party founded on the values of self-reliance, individual liberty and national unity.Those are values we all share, and while the Democratic Party has won a great victory tonight, we do so with a measure of humility and determination to heal the divides that have held back our progress.黨派之爭(zhēng)、瑣碎幼稚,長(zhǎng)期以來(lái)這些東西荼毒了我們的政壇。讓我們牢記,當(dāng)來(lái)自伊利諾伊州的一位先生首次將共和黨大旗扛進(jìn)白宮時(shí),伴隨著他的是自強(qiáng)自立、個(gè)人自由、國(guó)家統(tǒng)一的共和黨建黨理念。這也是我們所有人都珍視的理念。雖然民主黨今晚大勝,但我們態(tài)度謙卑,并決心彌合阻礙我們進(jìn)步的分歧。
As Lincoln said to a nation far more divided than ours, “We are not enemies, but friends...Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection.” And, to those Americans whose support I have yet to earn, I may not have won your vote, but I hear your voices, I need your help, and I will be your president, too.當(dāng)年,林肯面對(duì)的是一個(gè)遠(yuǎn)比目前更為分裂的國(guó)家。他說(shuō):“我們不是敵人,而是朋友??雖然激情可能不再,但是我們的感情紐帶不會(huì)割斷?!睂?duì)于那些現(xiàn)在并不支持我的美國(guó)人,我想說(shuō),雖然我沒(méi)有贏得你們的選票,但我聽(tīng)到了你們的聲音,我需要你們的幫助,我也將是你們的總統(tǒng)。
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 world — our stories are singular, but our destiny is shared, and a new dawn of American leadership is at hand.To those who would tear this world down: We will defeat you.To those who seek peace and security: We support you.And to all those who have wondered if America's beacon still burns as bright: Tonight, we proved once more that the true strength of our nation comes not from 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.對(duì)于關(guān)注今夜結(jié)果的國(guó)際人士,不管他們是在國(guó)會(huì)、皇宮關(guān)注,還是在荒僻地帶收聽(tīng)電臺(tái),我們的態(tài)度是:我們美國(guó)人的經(jīng)歷各有不同,但我們的命運(yùn)相關(guān),新的美國(guó)領(lǐng)袖誕生了。對(duì)于想毀滅這個(gè)世界的人們,我們必將擊敗你們。對(duì)于追求和平和安全的人們,我們將支持你們。對(duì)于懷疑美國(guó)這盞燈塔是否依然明亮的人們,今天晚上我們已再次證明:美國(guó)的真正力量來(lái)源并非軍事威力或財(cái)富規(guī)模,而是我們理想的恒久力量:民主、自由、機(jī)會(huì)和不屈的希望。
For that is the true genius of America — that America can change.Our union can be perfected.And what we have already achieved gives us hope for what we can and must achieve tomorrow.美國(guó)能夠變革,這才是美國(guó)真正的精髓。我們的聯(lián)邦會(huì)不斷完善。我們已經(jīng)取得的成就,將為我們將來(lái)能夠并且必須取得的成就增添希望。
This election had many firsts and many stories that will be told for generations.But one that's on my mind tonight is about a woman who cast her ballot in Atlanta.She's a lot like the millions of others who stood in line to make their voice heard in this election, except for one thing: Ann Nixon Cooper is 106 years old.這次大選創(chuàng)造了多項(xiàng)“第一”,誕生了很多將流芳后世的故事,但今晚令我最為難忘的卻是一位在亞特蘭大投票的婦女:安妮?庫(kù)波爾。她和無(wú)數(shù)排隊(duì)等候投票的選民沒(méi)有什么差別,唯一的不同是她高齡106歲。
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 reasons — because she was a woman and because of the color of her skin.在她出生的那個(gè)時(shí)代,黑奴制剛剛廢除。那時(shí)路上沒(méi)有汽車(chē),天上沒(méi)有飛機(jī)。當(dāng)時(shí)像她這樣的人由于兩個(gè)原因不能投票--一第一因?yàn)樗桥?,第二個(gè)原因是她的膚色。
And tonight, I think about all that she's seen throughout her century in America — the 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.今天晚上,我想到了安妮在美國(guó)過(guò)去一百年間的種種經(jīng)歷:心痛和希望,掙扎和進(jìn)步,那些我們被告知我們辦不到的年代,以及我們現(xiàn)在這個(gè)年代。現(xiàn)在,我們堅(jiān)信美國(guó)式信念──是的,我們能!
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.在那個(gè)年代,婦女的聲音被壓制,她們的希望被剝奪。但安妮活到了今天,看到婦女們站起來(lái)了,可以大聲發(fā)表意見(jiàn)了,有選舉權(quán)了。是的,我們能。
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.安妮經(jīng)歷了上世紀(jì)三十年代的大蕭條。農(nóng)田荒蕪,絕望籠罩美國(guó)大地。她看到了美國(guó)以新政、新的就業(yè)機(jī)會(huì)以及嶄新的共同追求戰(zhàn)勝了恐慌。是的,我們能。
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.二戰(zhàn)時(shí)期,炸彈襲擊我們的海港,全世界受到獨(dú)裁專(zhuān)制威脅,安妮見(jiàn)證了一代美國(guó)人的英雄本色,他們捍衛(wèi)了民主。是的,我們能。
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.安妮經(jīng)歷了蒙哥馬利公交車(chē)事件、伯明翰黑人暴動(dòng)事件、塞爾馬血醒周末事件。來(lái)自亞特蘭大的一位牧師告訴人們:我們終將勝利。是的,我們能。
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.人類(lèi)登上了月球、柏林墻倒下了,科學(xué)和想像把世界連成了一塊。今年,在這次選舉中,安妮的手指輕觸電子屏幕,投下自己的一票。她在美國(guó)生活了106年,其間有最美好的時(shí)光,也有最黑暗的時(shí)刻,她知道美國(guó)能夠變革。是的,我們能。
America, we have come so far.We have seen so much.But there is so much more to do.So tonight, let us ask ourselves: If our children should live to see the next century;if my daughters should be so lucky to live as long as Ann Nixon Cooper, what change will they see? What progress will we have made?
美利堅(jiān),我們已經(jīng)一路走來(lái),我們已經(jīng)看到了那么多變化,但我們?nèi)杂泻芏嗍虑橐?。今夜,讓我們?wèn)自己這樣一個(gè)問(wèn)題:假如我們的孩子能夠活到下一個(gè)世紀(jì),假如我的女兒們有幸與安妮一樣長(zhǎng)壽,她們將會(huì)看到怎樣的改變?我們又取得了怎樣的進(jìn)步?
This is our chance to answer that call.This is our moment.This is our time — to 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.現(xiàn)在,我們獲得了回答這個(gè)問(wèn)題的機(jī)會(huì)。這是我們的時(shí)刻,我們的時(shí)代。讓我們的人民重新就業(yè),為我們的孩子打開(kāi)機(jī)會(huì)的大門(mén);恢復(fù)繁榮,促進(jìn)和平;讓美國(guó)夢(mèng)重放光芒,再證這一根本性真理,那就是:團(tuán)結(jié)一致,眾志成城;一息尚存,希望就在;倘若有人嘲諷和懷疑,說(shuō)我們不能,我們就以這一永恒信條回應(yīng),因?yàn)樗哿苏麄€(gè)民族的精神——是的,我們能!
Thank you, God bless you, and may God bless the United States of America.謝謝大家!愿上帝保佑你們,保佑美利堅(jiān)合眾國(guó)。
