第一篇:奧巴馬在復(fù)旦大學(xué)的演講
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 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.下午好。我很榮幸能來到這里,并在上海有這個(gè)機(jī)會與你們眾人同在。我想感謝復(fù)旦大學(xué)的校長楊為他和他的盛情款待表示歡迎。我想要謝謝我們的杰出的大使,喬恩·亨斯邁、領(lǐng)帶和尊敬的深,我們兩國之間。我不知道他說了些什么,但是我希望它是好的。(笑)。
我想要做的事情就是要讓一些開放的評論,然后我真是迫不及待地想要做的事是問題,不但從學(xué)生在觀眾中,但我們也收到了問題,它將被要求網(wǎng)上的一些學(xué)生在聽眾,以及由大使獵手。我很抱歉,我的中文還比不上你的英語,但我很期待這次機(jī)會有一段對話。
這是我第一次到中國旅游,我非常樂意看到這個(gè)宏偉的國家。在這里,在上海,我們看到的增長已經(jīng)引起了世界的關(guān)注——高聳入云的摩天大樓,熙熙攘攘的街道和創(chuàng)業(yè)活動。就像我留下深刻的印象,這些癥狀的中國之旅,二十一世紀(jì)的時(shí)候,我很渴望看到那些古老的地方,對我們說話,從中國遙遠(yuǎn)的過去。
明天、后天,我希望能有機(jī)會的時(shí)候,我在北京看威嚴(yán)的紫禁城和神奇的長城。真的,這是一個(gè)國家包含豐富的歷史和信仰在未來的希望。
這同樣也可以,我們兩國之間的關(guān)系。上海,當(dāng)然是一個(gè)城市,具有重大的意義,在歷史上的中美兩國關(guān)系。正是在這里,37年前,上海公報(bào)打開門,一個(gè)新的篇章的接觸,我們的政府和人民。然而,美國的聯(lián)系到這個(gè)城市——這個(gè)國家——伸回來,最早的美國獨(dú)立。
1784年,我們的開國之父,喬治·華盛頓,委托中國后,一艘駛往這一仗使它可以追求貿(mào)易與清朝。華盛頓想見船舶攜帶旗幟,在全球范圍內(nèi)建立新的關(guān)系,像中國這樣的國家。這是一種常見的欲望沖動——美國“新視野”,為打造新伙伴,互惠互利。
在過去的兩個(gè)世紀(jì)的歷史中,電流之間的關(guān)系已經(jīng)朝我們國家在許多方面。甚至在紛亂的風(fēng),我們的人民有機(jī)會偽造深,甚至是戲劇性的關(guān)系。舉例來說,美國人將永遠(yuǎn)不會忘記我們的熱情好客的飛行員被擊落了你的土在第二次世界大戰(zhàn)期間,中國平民和關(guān)心他們所有的人,將自己的頸項(xiàng),置之度外了這樣做。這場戰(zhàn)爭的退伍軍人,中國人還是歡迎那些美國老兵回歸到何處去幫助他們的職業(yè)。
另一種不同的連接是近40年前,當(dāng)霜,我們兩國之間開始解凍通過簡單的乒乓球比賽。很可能導(dǎo)致的訂婚的成功,因?yàn)樗鼘ξ覀兯械姆制?雙方共同人性和我們共享的好奇心被揭示。作為一個(gè)美國運(yùn)動員形容他對中國的訪問——“[]人就像我們一樣…這個(gè)國家是非常相似,但是仍然非常不同的美國?!?/p>
當(dāng)然這個(gè)小口緊隨其后的分別是上海公報(bào)的成果,并最終建立正式的美國和中國關(guān)系在1979年。在三十年里,看看我們有多遠(yuǎn)。
1979年的今天,美國之間的貿(mào)易和中國站在約5億美元——今天是每年超過4000億美元。商業(yè)影響我們的人民生活在如此多的方面。美國從中國進(jìn)口許多計(jì)算機(jī)部分我們使用,衣服穿,我們向中國出口機(jī)械,幫助你的產(chǎn)業(yè)。該貿(mào)易可以創(chuàng)造更多就業(yè)兩邊的太平洋,同時(shí)讓我們的人民能夠更好地享受高質(zhì)量的生活。隨著需求變得更為均衡,它能夠?qū)е赂訌V闊的繁榮。
1979年的今天,在政治上的美國與中國之間的合作建立在很大程度上我們共同的競爭與蘇聯(lián)。今天,我們有一個(gè)積極的、建設(shè)性的、綜合性的關(guān)系,打開門合伙等關(guān)鍵問題,我們的時(shí)間——全球經(jīng)濟(jì)的復(fù)蘇和發(fā)展清潔能源,停止核武器的擴(kuò)散和天災(zāi)的氣候變化問題;促進(jìn)和平與安全,在亞洲和世界的每一個(gè)角落。所有的這些問題會被提上了日程,明天我會見胡錦濤主席。
在1979年,在我們的人有限公司聯(lián)系。今天,我們看到的好奇那些乒乓球隊(duì)員之間的關(guān)系體現(xiàn)在被偽造橫跨許多領(lǐng)域。第二高的外國學(xué)生在美國從中國來,然后我們已經(jīng)看過增加了50%在學(xué)習(xí)漢語的過程中自己的學(xué)生。全世界近200個(gè)“友誼”城市社區(qū)聯(lián)系在一起。美國和中國的科學(xué)家共同合作的新研究和探索。當(dāng)然,姚明只是一個(gè)信號,我們的共同愛好籃球,我只是遺憾,我不可能去看一場上海鯊魚,當(dāng)我訪問。
它不是巧合,我們兩國之間的關(guān)系有一個(gè)時(shí)期的積極變化。中國已經(jīng)將成千上萬的人們擺脫貧困——在人類歷史上空前的成就——在全球事件中扮演更重要的角色。和美國的經(jīng)濟(jì)增長已經(jīng)看過我們一起享受生活的標(biāo)準(zhǔn),而我們的人民帶來了冷戰(zhàn)圓滿結(jié)束。
中國有一句諺語:“把過去,你要知道未來。”當(dāng)然,我們都知道挫折和挑戰(zhàn),在過去的30年。我們的關(guān)系也并不是沒有分歧和困難。但是,我們必須的敵人不是命中注定的——而不是當(dāng)我們考慮過去。事實(shí)上,由于我們的合作,美國和中國正在日益繁榮、更安全。我們已經(jīng)看到什么是可能的,當(dāng)我們建立在我們的共同利益,并進(jìn)行相互尊重的基礎(chǔ)上。
而成功,取決于理解——在訂婚的可持續(xù)性、公開對話,并了解彼此。因?yàn)槊绹古仪蜻\(yùn)動員指出——我們共同的地方作為人類,但是我們的國家是不同的,在某些方面。
我相信每個(gè)國家都必須自身課程。圖中國是一個(gè)古老的國家,有著根深蒂固的文化。美國,相比之下,是一個(gè)年輕的國家,其文化是由許多不同的移民,他們都來參加我們的海岸,由建國文件,引導(dǎo)我們的民主。
這些文件提出一個(gè)簡單的人事異,推崇幾個(gè)核心原則——所有的男人和女人是平等的,并具有一定的基本權(quán)利;政府應(yīng)體現(xiàn)人民的意志和對他們的愿望,就應(yīng)當(dāng)是開放的,商業(yè)信息自由開放;而法律,而不是簡單的人,應(yīng)保證司法程序。
當(dāng)然,我們的國家的故事是沒有任何困難的章節(jié)。在許多方面——多年來,我們一直在努力推進(jìn)——這些原則的承諾,我們所有的人,并建立一個(gè)更完美的聯(lián)邦。我們打了一場非常痛苦的內(nèi)戰(zhàn),釋放了一份我們的人口從奴隸制。花了一些時(shí)間來延長婦女選舉權(quán),工人們贏得了組織,并為移民從世界各個(gè)角落中被完全融入。甚至在他們被釋放,非裔美國人,都堅(jiān)持通過條件,不如以前,分離和贏得平等的權(quán)利。
這是一件容易的事。但我們?nèi)〉昧碎L足的進(jìn)步,因?yàn)槲覀兿嘈胚@些核心原則,它已經(jīng)成為我們的羅盤在最黑暗的暴風(fēng)雨。這就是為什么林肯能站在中間的內(nèi)戰(zhàn),宣示努力看是否有任何國家,它孕育于自由,并且獻(xiàn)身給一種理念,即“人人生來平等”能長久存在。
這就是為什么博士馬丁·路德·金能站在林肯紀(jì)念碑前的臺階上,要求我們國家住它的信條的真正含義。這就是為什么中國移民的肯尼亞能找到回家的路上我們的海岸,為什么機(jī)會都能有誰會為它工作,為什么有人喜歡我,小于50年前就有麻煩的投票在一些地方,現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)可以作為它的總統(tǒng)。
這就是為什么美國,總是會說出這些核心原則環(huán)游世界。我們不要試圖強(qiáng)加任何的政府體制,對任何其他國家,但是我們也不相信的原則,我們主張是獨(dú)一無二的,我們的國家。這些自由的表達(dá)和崇拜——獲取信息和政治參與——我們認(rèn)為是普遍的權(quán)利。
他們應(yīng)該提供給所有人,包括種族和宗教的少數(shù)民族,他們是否在美國、中國、或任何國家。事實(shí)上,它是尊重普遍人權(quán),引導(dǎo)美國公開到其他國家,我們尊重不同的文化,我們的承諾,我們信心的國際法。
這些都是你應(yīng)該知道關(guān)于美國。我也知道我們有多了解中國。這座雄偉的城市環(huán)視四周看這個(gè)房間———我認(rèn)為我們的國家共同舉辦一些重要的東西,那就是一個(gè)信念。美國和中國都是停留在我們的成就的內(nèi)容。對于中國是一個(gè)古老的國家,你也清醒地展望未來充滿信心,野心,并承諾要看到明天的一代能做得更好。
除了你的經(jīng)濟(jì)增長,我們欣賞中國非凡的承諾——科學(xué)研究證實(shí)了在所有的承諾從基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施建設(shè)的技術(shù),你使用。中國現(xiàn)在是世界上最大的互聯(lián)網(wǎng)用戶——這就是為什么我們這么高興包括互聯(lián)網(wǎng)作為今天的活動的一部分。
這個(gè)國家如今已成為全球最大的移動電話網(wǎng)絡(luò),它是投資于新形式的能量,它既能維持增長與氣候變化作斗爭,我期待著深化合作夥伴關(guān)系美國和中國在該區(qū)域。明天見。但首先,我看到你在中國的未來——年輕人的天賦和奉獻(xiàn)精神和夢想將會做這么多幫助塑造了21世紀(jì)。
我已經(jīng)說過很多次,我相信我們的世界正從根本上互連。我們的工作,我們建造、環(huán)境的繁榮,我們的安全保護(hù),我們尋求——所有這些都是共享的。連接,并在二十一世紀(jì)已不再是一個(gè)零和游戲,一個(gè)國家的成功不需要付出了代價(jià)。
這是為什么,美國堅(jiān)持認(rèn)為我們不尋求遏制中國的崛起。相反,我們歡迎中國富強(qiáng)和成功的社區(qū)成員的國家——中國的人權(quán)、優(yōu)勢和創(chuàng)造性的思考的中國人喜歡你。
回到這個(gè)諺語——把過去。我們知道,更多的時(shí)候是為了得到大國合作比碰撞。這是一個(gè)教訓(xùn),人類已經(jīng)學(xué)會一次又一次的例子,這是我們兩國之間的歷史。我堅(jiān)信合作必須超越我們的政府。它必須扎根于我們的人——在我們共享、業(yè)務(wù),我們做什么,我們得到的知識,甚至在體育比賽。與這些橋梁必須由年輕的男人和女人就像您及您的同行在美國。
這就是為什么我高興的宣布美國將急劇擴(kuò)大我們的學(xué)生人數(shù)在中國學(xué)習(xí)到10萬美元。這些交流馬克明確承諾建立關(guān)系在我們的人民,我指著你將幫助決定命運(yùn)的二十一世紀(jì)。我絕對相信美國沒有提供比我們更好的大使的年輕人。因?yàn)樗麄?就像你一樣,充滿天賦和能源和樂觀主義的歷史,是有待書寫。
所以讓這句話做下一步的穩(wěn)定的追求,為我們的合作,與世界各國。如果有一件事情我們可以從今天的對話,我希望它是一種承諾繼續(xù)這段對話向前邁進(jìn)。
所以,非常感謝您。我盼望去取一些問題,從你們所有的人。非常感謝你。

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.奧巴馬上海演講英文 五
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.奧巴馬上海演講英文 六
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.)
第三篇: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(gè)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(shí)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(gè)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(shí),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(gè)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(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(gè)城市以及這個(gè)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(gè)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(xiǎn)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(shí)所說:“那里的人民和我們一樣……這個(gè)國家和美國有許多相似之處,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.無須贅言,這個(gè)小小的契機(jī)帶來了《上海公報(bào)》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(shí)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(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)。而姚明是我們兩國人民都熱愛籃球的僅僅一個(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(gè)積極變化的時(shí)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(shí),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(shí),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。”當(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。
第四篇:奧巴馬在復(fù)旦大學(xué)的演講稿
There is a Chinese proverb: “Consider the past, and you shall know the future.” 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.中國有句名言:“溫故而知新?!边^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。
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 a American table tennis player pointed out--we share much in common as human beings, but our countries are different in certain ways.可是,這種接觸的成功取決于理解,取決于繼續(xù)進(jìn)行開誠布公的對話,相互了解,相互學(xué)習(xí)。正如一位美國乒乓球隊(duì)員所說——作為人,我們有著許多共同之處,但是我們兩國在某些方面存在著差別。
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.我認(rèn)為每個(gè)國家都必須規(guī)劃自己的前進(jìn)方向。中國是一個(gè)文明古國,文化深遠(yuǎn)。而美國相對而言是一個(gè)年輕的國家,它的文化由來自許多不同國家的移民以及指導(dǎo)我國民主制度的建國綱領(lǐng)所形成。這些綱領(lǐng)中提出了對人類事務(wù)的簡單明了的矚望,并包含了一些核心原則——不論男女人人生而平等,都享有某些基本權(quán)利;政府應(yīng)當(dāng)反映民意,并對人民的愿望作出回應(yīng);商貿(mào)應(yīng)該是開放的,信息應(yīng)該自由流通;司法保障應(yīng)該來自法治而不是人治。
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,我國的歷史也并非沒有困難的篇章。在很多方面,在很長的時(shí)間里,我們要通過斗爭去實(shí)現(xiàn)這些原則對全體人民的承諾,締造一個(gè)更趨完善的聯(lián)邦。我們曾打過一場很痛苦的南北戰(zhàn)爭,將我國的一部分人口從奴役下解放出來。婦女獲得投票權(quán)、勞工贏得組織權(quán)、來自世界各地的移民得到完全的接納——這些都是經(jīng)過了一段時(shí)間才實(shí)現(xiàn)的。非洲裔美國人即使在獲得自由后依然生活在被隔離和不平等的條件下,他們經(jīng)過不懈努力才最終贏得全面、平等的權(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.所有這些都不曾輕而易舉。但是,由于我們對這些核心原則的堅(jiān)定信念,我們?nèi)〉昧诉M(jìn)步,這些原則指引我們沖過了最黑暗的風(fēng)暴。這就是為什么林肯能在南北戰(zhàn)爭中挺身而出并宣布,這是一場考驗(yàn)一個(gè)孕育于自由之中、“忠實(shí)于人人生而平等這一原則”的國家能否永存的斗爭。這也就是為什么馬丁?路德?金博士能夠站立在林肯紀(jì)念堂的臺階上,要求我們的國家實(shí)踐自身信仰的真正含義。這也就是為什么來自從中國到肯尼亞的各國移民能夠在我國的土地上安家;為什么所有努力尋求機(jī)會的人都能獲得機(jī)會;為什么像我這種在不到50年前在美國的某些地方連投票都遇到困難的人,現(xiàn)在能夠出任這個(gè)國家的總統(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_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.這就是為什么美國一直在全世界為這些核心原則而大聲疾呼。我們不尋求把任何政治體制強(qiáng)加給任何別的國家,但是我們也不認(rèn)為我們主張的這些原則是我們國家所獨(dú)有的。表達(dá)自由和宗教信仰自由——獲得信息和政治參與的自由——我們認(rèn)為這些自由都是普世的權(quán)利,所有人都應(yīng)當(dāng)享有,包括少數(shù)民族和宗教少數(shù)派,不管是在美國、中國還是在任何其他國家。正是對普世權(quán)利的尊重指導(dǎo)著美國向其他國家開放,尊重各種不同的文化,致力于遵守國際法,并對未來抱有信念。
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.這些都是你們應(yīng)當(dāng)了解的美國的情況。我也知道中國有很多有待我們了解的情況。環(huán)顧一下這座偉大的城市——環(huán)顧一下這個(gè)大廳——我確信我們兩個(gè)國家有一個(gè)很重要的共同點(diǎn),那就是我們對未來的信念。美國和中國都不想滿足于已取得的成就,止步不前。雖然中國是一個(gè)古老的國家,但你們顯然也對未來滿懷信心、雄心和使年輕一代能比這一代人更有作為的決心。
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.我們不但欽佩中國日益增長的經(jīng)濟(jì),還贊賞你們在科學(xué)研究方面極不平凡的努力——從你們建設(shè)的基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施到你們使用的技術(shù),均體現(xiàn)出這種努力。中國現(xiàn)在是世界上最大的互聯(lián)網(wǎng)使用國——這也是我們今天很高興能把互聯(lián)網(wǎng)作為此次活動的一部分的原因。這個(gè)國家目前擁有世界上最大的移動電話網(wǎng)絡(luò),它正在投資發(fā)展既能維持可持續(xù)增長,又能應(yīng)對氣候變化的新型能源——我期待著明天在這個(gè)至關(guān)重要的領(lǐng)域中深化兩國的合作關(guān)系。然而,最重要的是,我在你們身上看到了中國的未來——年輕一代的聰明才智、獻(xiàn)身精神和夢想將為塑造21世紀(jì)發(fā)揮巨大作用。
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 individual Chinese like you.我已說過多次,我相信我們現(xiàn)在的世界是緊密相連的。我們所做的工作,我們所建設(shè)的繁榮,我們所保護(hù)的環(huán)境,以及我們所尋求的安全——所有這一切都是共有的。鑒于這種相互聯(lián)系,在21世紀(jì),權(quán)力不應(yīng)再成為一場零和游戲;一國的成功發(fā)展不應(yīng)以他國為代價(jià)。這也就是為什么美國堅(jiān)決表示我們不謀求遏制中國的崛起。恰恰相反,我們歡迎中國成為國際社會中一個(gè)強(qiáng)大、繁榮、成功的成員——一個(gè)從你們這樣的每個(gè)中國人的權(quán)利、實(shí)力和創(chuàng)造力中獲得力量的中國。
第五篇:奧巴馬演講
奧巴馬演講
Hello, everybody.In the State of the Union, I laid out three areas we need to focus on if we're going to build an economy that lasts: new American manufacturing, new skills and education for American workers, and new sources of American-made energy.These days, we're getting another painful reminder why developing new energy is so important to our future.Just like they did last year, gas prices are starting to climb.Only this time, it's happening earlier.And that hurts everyone – everyone who owns a car;everyone who owns a business.It means you have to stretch your paycheck even further.Some folks have no choice but to drive a long way to work, and high gas prices are like a tax straight out of their paychecks.Now, some politicians always see this as a political opportunity.And since it's an election year, they're already dusting off their three-point plans for $2 gas.I'll save you the suspense: Step one is drill, step two is drill, and step three is keep drilling.We hear the same thing every year.Well the American people aren't stupid.You know that's not a plan – especially since we're already drilling.It's a bumper sticker.It's not a strategy to solve our energy challenge.It's a strategy to get politicians through an election.You know there are no quick fixes to this problem, and you know we can't just drill our way to lower gas prices.If we're going to take control of our energy future and avoid these gas price spikes down the line, then we need a sustained, all-of-the-above strategy that develops every available source of American energy – oil, gas, wind, solar, nuclear, biofuels, and more.We need to keep developing the technology that allows us to use less oil in our cars and trucks;in our buildings and plants.That's the strategy we're pursuing, and that's the only real solution to this challenge.Now, we absolutely need safe, responsible oil production here in America.That's why under my Administration, America is producing more oil today than at any time in the last eight years.In 2010, our dependence on foreign oil was under 50% for the first time in more than a decade.And while there are no short-term silver bullets when it comes to gas prices, I've directed my administration to look for every single area where we can make an impact and help consumers in the months ahead, from permitting to delivery bottlenecks to what's going on in the oil markets.But over the long term, an all-of-the-above energy strategy means we have to do more.It means we have to make some choices.Here's one example.Right now, four billion of your tax dollars subsidize the oil industry every year.Four billion dollars.Imagine that.Maybe some of you are listening to this in your car right now, pulling into a gas station to fill up.As you watch those numbers rise, know that oil company profits have never been higher.Yet somehow, Congress is still giving those same companies another four billion dollars of your money.That's outrageous.It's inexcusable.And it has to stop.A century of subsidies to the oil companies is long enough.It's time to end taxpayer giveaways to an industry that's never been more profitable, and use that money to reduce our deficit and double-down on a clean energy industry that's never been more promising.Because of the investments we've already made, the use of wind and solar energy in this country has nearly doubled – and thousands of Americans have jobs because of it.And because we put in place the toughest fuel economy standards in history, our cars will average nearly 55 miles per gallon by the middle of the next decade – something that, over time, will save the typical family more than $8,000 at the pump.Now Congress needs to keep that momentum going by renewing the clean energy tax credits that will lead to more jobs and less dependence on foreign oil.Look, we know there's no silver bullet that will bring down gas prices or reduce our dependence on foreign oil overnight.But what we can do is get our priorities straight, and make a sustained, serious effort to tackle this problem.That's the commitment we need right now.And with your help, it's a commitment we can make.Thank you.
