奧巴馬在上海發(fā)表演講

1、奧巴馬在上海發(fā)表演講（中英對照）11月16日，美國總統(tǒng)奧巴馬在上海科技館與中國青年對話。演講開始前，奧巴馬幽默地用上海話儂好 開場，引來現(xiàn)場陣陣掌聲和笑聲。1 詼諧開場：我的中文遠不如你們的英文2 追溯中美建交，稱中國使億萬人民脫貧史無前例3 引中國古言，溫故知新4 展望未來，最好的使者是年輕人你好。諸位下午好。我感到很榮幸能夠有機會到上海跟你們交談，我要感謝復旦大學的楊校長，感謝他的款待和熱情的歡迎。 我還想感謝我們出色的大使洪博培，他是我們兩國間深厚的紐帶。我不知道他剛才說什么，但是希望他說得很好。Good after noon .It is a great honor for me to

2、 be here in Shan ghai, and to havethis opport un ity to speak with all of you. I'd like to tha nk Fuda n Uni versity'sPreside nt Yang for his hospitality and his gracious welcome. I'd also like to tha nkour outsta nding Ambassador, Jon Hun tsma n, who exemplifies the deep ties andrespect

3、 betwee n our n ati on s. I don't know what he said, but I hope it was good.(Laughter.)我今天準備這樣，先做一個開場白，我真正希望做的是回答在座的問題，不但回答在座的學生問題，同時還可以從網(wǎng)上得到一些問題，由在座的一些學生和洪博培大使代為提問。很抱What I'd like to do is to make some opening comments, and then what I'm reallylook ing forward to doing is tak ing questi

4、 ons, not only from stude nts who are inthe audie nee, but also we've received questi ons on li ne, which will be asked by some of the stude nts who are here in the audie nee, as well as by AmbassadorHun tsma n. AndI am very sorry that my Chin ese is not as good as your En glish.but I am looking

5、 forward to this chanee to have a dialogue.這是我首次訪問中國，我看到你們博大的國家，感到很興奮。在上海這里，我們看到了矚目的增長，高聳的塔樓，繁忙的街道，還有企業(yè)家的精神。 這些都是中國步入 21世紀的跡象， 讓我感到贊嘆。This is my first time traveli ng to Chi na, and rm excited to see thismajesticcoun try. Here, in Shan ghai, we see the growth that has caught the atte nti on ofthe wo

6、rld - the soari ngskyscrapers , the bustl ing streets and en trepre neurialactivity. And just as rm impressed by these sig ns of Chin a's journey to the 21stcen tury, I'm eager to see those ancient places that speak to us from Chin a's dista nt past.同時我也急切的要看到向我們展現(xiàn)中國古老的古跡，明天和后天我要到北京去看雄偉壯

7、麗的故宮和令人嘆為觀止的長城，這個國度既有豐富的歷史，又有對未來憧憬的信念。Tomorrow and the next day I hope to have a cha nee whe n rm in Beiji ng to seethe majesty of the Forbidden City and the wonder of the Great Wall. Truly, thisis a n ati on thaten compassesboth a rich history and a belief in the promise ofthe future.而我們兩國的關(guān)系也是如此，上

8、海在美中關(guān)系的歷史中是個具有意義的重大城市，在30年前，上海公報打開了我們兩國政府和兩國人民接觸交往的新的篇章。The same can be said of the relati on ship betwee n our two coun tries. Shan ghai,of course, is a city that has great mea ning in the history of the relati on ship betwee n the Un ited States and Chin a. It was here, 37 years ago, that theShan

9、ghai Communique ope ned the door to a new chapter of en gageme nt betwee n our gover nments 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 in depe nden ce.不過美國與這個國家的紐帶可以追溯更久遠的過去， 追溯到美國獨立的初期， 喬治華盛頓 組織了

10、皇后號的下水儀式，這個船成功前往大清王朝，華盛頓希望看到這艘船前往各地， 與 中國結(jié)成新的紐帶。希望中國開辟新的地平線，建立新的伙伴關(guān)系。In 1784, our founding father, George Wash ington, commissi oned the Empressof China, a ship that set sail for theseshores so that it could pursue trade withthe Qing Dyn asty. Wash ington wan ted to see the ship carry the flag aroun

11、d the globe, and to forge new ties with n ati ons like Chi na. This is a com mon America n impulse - the desire to reach for new horiz ons, and to forge new partn ershipsthat are mutually ben eficial.在其后的兩個世紀中，歷史洪流使我們兩國關(guān)系向許多不同的方向發(fā)展，而即使在最動蕩的方向中，我們的兩國人民打造深的，甚至有戲劇性的紐帶，比如美國人永遠不會忘記，在二戰(zhàn)期間，美國飛行員在中國上空被擊落后，當

12、地人民對他們的款待， 中國公民冒著失去一切的危險罩著他們。而參加二戰(zhàn)的老兵仍然歡迎故地重游的美國老兵，他們在那里參戰(zhàn)。Over the two cen turies that have followed, the curre nts of history have steered the relati on ship betwee n our coun tries in many direct ions. And even in the midst of tumultuouswin ds, our people had opport un ities to forge deep and eve

13、ndramatic ties. For in sta nee, America ns will n ever forget the hospitality show n to our pilots who were shot dow n over your soil duri ng World War II, and cared for by Chin ese civilia ns who risked all that they had by doing so. And Chin ese vetera ns of that war still warmly greet those Ameri

14、ca n vetera ns who retur n to the sites where they fought to help liberate China from occupation.40年前，我們兩國間開啟了又一種聯(lián)系，兩國關(guān)系開始解凍， 通過乒乓球的比賽解凍關(guān)系。我們兩國之間有著分歧， 但是我們也有著共同的人性及有著共同的好奇，就像一位乒乓球運動員一樣，那時的國家就是一樣，但是這個小小的開頭帶來了上海公報的問世，最終還 帶來了美中在1979年建交。在其后的30年我們又取得了長足的進展，1979年美中貿(mào)易只有50億美元，現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)超過了 4000億美元。A differe nt ki

15、 nd of connection was made n early 40 years ago whe n the frost between our countries began to thaw through the simple game of table tennis. The very un likely n ature of this en gageme nt con tributed to its success - because for all our differe nces, both our com mon huma nity and our shared curio

16、sity were revealed. As one American player described his visit to China -"Thepeople are just like us.The country is very similar to America, but stillvery differe nt." Of course this small ope ning was followed by the achieveme nt of the Shan ghai Communiq ue, and the even tual establishme

17、 nt of formal relati ons between the United States and China in 1979. And in three decades, just look at how far we have come. In 1979, trade betwee n the Un ited States and China stood at roughly $5 billi on - today it tops over $400 billi on each year.貿(mào)易在許多方面影響人民的生活，比如美國電腦中許多部件，還有穿的衣服都是從中國進口的，我們向中

18、國出口中國工業(yè)要使用的機器，這種貿(mào)易可以在太平洋兩岸創(chuàng)造更多的就業(yè)機會，讓我們的人民過上質(zhì)量更高的生活。The commerce affects our people's lives in so many ways. America imports fromChina many of the computer parts we use, the clothes we wear; and we exportto China machinery that helps power your industry. This trade could create evenmore jobs on

19、both sides of the Pacific, while allow ing our people to enjoy a better quality of life. And as dema nd becomes more bala need, it can lead to even broader prosperity.在需求趨于平衡的過程中，這種貿(mào)易可以是更廣闊的貿(mào)易。如今我們有著積極合作和全面的 關(guān)系，為我們在當前重大的全球問題上建立伙伴關(guān)系打開了大門，這些問題包括經(jīng)濟復蘇、 潔凈能源的開發(fā)、制止核武器擴散以及應對氣候變化。還有在亞洲及全球各地促進和平和穩(wěn)定，所有這些問題我明天

20、與胡主席會談時都會談到。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, con structive and comprehe nsive relati on ship that ope ns the door to partnership on the key global issues of our time - eco

21、nomic 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.1979 年的時候， 我們兩國人民的聯(lián)系十分有限， 如

22、今當年乒乓球運動員的好奇可以在許多 領(lǐng)域建立的聯(lián)系中都可以看到，在美國數(shù)量最多的留學生都來自中國。而在美國的學生中， 學中文的人數(shù)增加了 50% 。我們兩國有近 200 個友好城市， 美中科學家在許多新的研究領(lǐng) 域和發(fā)現(xiàn)領(lǐng)域進行合作， 而我們兩國人民都熱愛籃球，姚明就是個例子。不過，此行中我不 能觀看上海鯊魚隊的比賽，有點遺憾。And in 1979, the connections among our people were limited. Today, we see the curiosity of those ping-pong players manifested in the ti

23、es 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 togeth

24、er. 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.那么我們兩國之間的這種關(guān)系給我們帶來了積極的變化， 這并不是偶然的， 中國使得億萬人 民脫貧，

25、而這種成就是人類歷史上史無前例的。 而中國在全球問題中也發(fā)揮更大的作用， 美 國也目睹了我們經(jīng)濟的成長。It is no coin cide nee that the relati on ship betwee n our coun tries has accompa nied a period of positive cha nge. China has lifted hun dreds of milli ons of people out of poverty - an accomplishme nt un paralleled in huma n history -while play

26、ing a larger role in global even ts. And the Un ited States has see n our economy grow along with the standard of living enjoyed by our people, while bringing the Cold War to a successful con clusi on.中國有句古言，溫故而知新。當然，我們過去30年中也遇到了挫折和挑戰(zhàn)，我們的關(guān)系并不是沒有困難的，沒有分歧的。但是我們必須一定是對手這種想法不應該是一成不變的。由于我們兩國的合作，美中兩國都變得更加繁

27、榮、更加安全。我們基于相互的利益、相互的尊重就能有成就。There is a Chin ese proverb:"Con sider the past, and you shall know thefuture." Surely, we have known setbacks and challe nges over the last 30 years.Our relati on ship has not bee n without disagreeme nt and difficulty. But thenotion that we must be adversaries

28、 is not predestined - not when we consider the past. In deed, because of our cooperati on, both the Un ited States and China are more prosperous and more secure. We have see n what is possible whe n we build upon our mutual in terests, and en gage on the basis of mutual respect.不過，這種接觸的成功要取決于我們要彼此了解

29、，要能夠進行開誠布公的對話，彼此進行了解。就像當年美國乒乓球運動員所說的，我們作為人有著共同的向往，但是我們兩國又不同。And yet the success of that en gageme nt depe nds upon un dersta nding - on susta ining an ope n dialogue, and lear ning about one ano ther and from one another. For just as that American table tennis player pointed out - we share much in c

30、om mon as huma n bein gs, but our coun tries are differe nt in certa inways.我認為我們兩國每個國家都應該勾畫出自己要走的路，中國是一個文明古國，它有著博大精深的文化。相對而言，美國是一個年輕的國家，它的文化受到來自許多不同國家移民的影響，而指導我們民主制度文件的影響，我有一個非常簡單的向往，代表了一些核心的原則，就是所有的人生來平等，都有著基本的權(quán)利，而政府應當反映人們的意志，貿(mào)易應該是開放的， 信息流通應當是自由的，而法律要保證這個公平。I believe that each country must chart i

31、ts own course. China is an ancient n ati on,with a deeply rooted culture. The Un ited States, by comparis on, is a youngn atio n, whose culture is determ ined by the many differe nt immigra nts who havecome to our shores, and by the founding docume nts that guide ourdemocracy .Those docume nts put f

32、orward a simple visi on of huma n affairs, and theyenshrine several core principles - that all men and women are created equal,and possess certain fun dame ntal rights; that gover nment should reflect the willof the people and resp ond to their wishes; that commerce should be ope n,in formati on fre

33、ely accessible; and that laws, and not simply men, shouldguara ntee the adm ini strati on of justice.當然，我們的國家歷史也不是沒有過困難的地方，從很多方面來講，很多年以來，我們是通過斗爭來促進這些原則或者是所有的人民能夠享受到，為了締造一個更完美的聯(lián)合，我們也打過一個很痛苦的內(nèi)戰(zhàn)，把一部分我們被奴役的人口釋放出來，經(jīng)過一段時間才能使婦女有投票權(quán)，勞工有組織權(quán)，包括來自各地的移民能夠全部不接受。即使他們被解放以后，非洲與美國人也和美國人經(jīng)過一些分開的、不平等的條件，經(jīng)過一段時間才爭取到全面的平等

34、權(quán)利，所有這些是不容易的。但是我們對這些核心原則的信念我們?nèi)〉玫倪M展，在最黑暗的風暴當中是作為我們的指南針。Of course, the story of our n ati on is not without its difficult chapters .In many ways - over many years - we have struggled to adva nee the promise of these prin ciples to all of our people, and to forge a more perfect union. We fought a very

35、painful civil war, and freed a portion of our populati on 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 . Eve n after they were freed, Africa n America ns persev

36、ered through con diti ons 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 prin ciples, which have served as our compass through the darkest of storms. That is why Lincoln could sta nd up in the mi

37、dst of civil war and declare it a struggle to see whether any n atio n, con ceived in liberty, and "dedicated to the propositi on that all men are created equal" could long en dure.這就是為什么美國永遠為了全世界各地的核心原則說話，我們不尋求把任何政治體制強制給任何國家，但是我們也不認為我們所支持的這些原則是我們國家所獨有的，這些表達自由、 宗教崇拜自由、接觸信息的機會、政治的參與，我們認為這些是

38、普世的權(quán)利，應該是所有人 民能夠享受到，包括少數(shù)民族和宗教的族群，不管是在中國、美國和任何國家，對于普遍權(quán)利的尊敬，作為美國對其他國家的開放態(tài)度的指導原則，我們對其他文化的尊重，我們對國際法的承諾和對未來的信念的原則。That is why Dr. Martin Luther King could sta nd on the steps of the LincolnMemorial and ask that our nation live out the true meaning of its creed. That's why immigrants from China to Ken

39、ya 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 co

40、re 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 be

41、lieve 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 differen

42、t cultures; our commitment to international law; and our faith in the future. 所有這些都是你們知道關(guān)于美國的一些情況， 我們有很多要從中國學習。 我們看看這個偉大 城市的各地， 也看看這個房間， 我就相信我們兩國有很重要的共同點， 也就是對未來的信念， 不管是美國還是中國，對現(xiàn)在的成就不能感到自滿。These are all things that you should know about America. I also know that we have much to learn about China. Lo

43、oking 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.雖然中國是一個古老的國家， 你們也是充滿信心展望未來， 致力于下一代能夠比這一代做的 更好， 除了你們不

44、斷增長的經(jīng)濟之外， 我們很配合中國在科學和研究方面所投入的力量， 包括建設的基礎(chǔ)設施和使用的技術(shù)，中國是世界上使用互聯(lián)網(wǎng)技術(shù)最多的國家， 這就是我們很高興互聯(lián)網(wǎng)是今天活動的一部分，這個國家也擁有最大的機動電話網(wǎng)絡，對新的投資保持繼續(xù)增長，和應對氣候變化方面有新的投資，我也希望兩國加強這方面的合作。但是更重要是看到年輕人你們的才能、你們的獻身精神、你們的夢想在21世紀實現(xiàn)方面會發(fā)揮很大的作用。For while China is an an cie nt n ati on, you are also clearly look ing ahead withcon fide nee, ambiti

45、on, and a commitme nt to see that tomorrow's gen erati on cando better than today's. In addition to your growing economy, we admire China'sextraordinary commitment to scienee and research - a commitmentborne outin everyth ing from the in frastructure you build to the tech no logy you use

46、. Chi na is now the world's largest Internet user - which is why we were so pleased to in clude the Internet as a part of today's event. This country now has the world'slargest mobile phone n etwork, and it is in vesti ng in the new forms of en ergythat can both susta in growth and comba

47、t climate cha nge - and rm look ingforward to deepe ning the partn ership betwee n the Un ited States and China inthis critical area tomorrow. But above all, I see China's future in you - youngpeople whose tale nt and dedicati on and dreams will do so much to help shape the 21st cen tury.童年的記憶更I

48、蔓I最快的提高英語口語的方法我說過很多次，我認為世界是互相連接的，我們所做的工作， 我們所建立的繁榮， 我們所保 護的環(huán)境，我們所追求的安全，所有這些都是共同的，而且是互相連接的，所以 21世紀的 實力不在零和游戲，一個國家成功不應該以另外一個國家的犧牲作為代價。rve said many times that I believe that our world is nowfun dame ntallyin terc onn ected. The jobs we do, the prosperity we build, the environment we protect, the secur

49、ity that we seek - all of these things are shared. And give n that in terc onn ecti on, power in the 21st cen tury is no Ion ger a zero-sum game;one coun try's success n eed not come at the expe nse of ano ther.這就是我們?yōu)槭裁床粚で蠖糁浦袊尼绕?。相反，我們歡迎中國作為一個國際社會的強的、 繁榮的、成功的成員。And that is why the Un ited States

50、 in sists we do not seek to contain Chin a's rise. On the con trary, we welcome Chi na as a strong and prosperous and successful member of the community of nations - a China that draws on the rights, stre ngths, and creativity of in dividual Chin ese like you.再回到剛才的諺語， 我們應該考慮過去。 在大的國家合作的時候， 就比互相碰撞會取得更多得好處，這就是人類在歷史上不斷吸取的教訓。我認為我們合作應該是超越政府間的合作，應該是以人民為基礎(chǔ)，我們所研究的內(nèi)容，我們所從事的生意，我們送獲得的知識，我們所 進行的體育比賽，所有這些橋梁必須是年輕人共同合作建立起來。To return to
