奧巴馬2013國情咨文全文(中英文對(duì)照)

1、精選優(yōu)質(zhì)文檔-傾情為你奉上精選優(yōu)質(zhì)文檔-傾情為你奉上專心-專注-專業(yè)專心-專注-專業(yè)精選優(yōu)質(zhì)文檔-傾情為你奉上專心-專注-專業(yè)THE PRESIDENT: Mr. Speaker, Mr. Vice President, members of Congress, fellow citizens:議長先生，副總統(tǒng)先生，國會(huì)議員們，美國人民： Fifty-one years ago, John F. Kennedy declared to this chamber that “the Constitution makes us not rivals for power but partners f

2、or progress.” (Applause.) “It is my task,” he said, “to report the State of the Union - to improve it is the task of us all.” 51年前，約翰-F-肯尼迪在這里宣布“憲法讓我們成為進(jìn)步的伙伴而不是權(quán)利的對(duì)手，”(掌聲)他說，“發(fā)表國情咨文是我的任務(wù)，但是完善國情卻是我們所有人的任務(wù)?！盩onight, thanks to the grit and determination of the American people, there is much progress to

3、 report. After a decade of grinding war, our brave men and women in uniform are coming home. (Applause.) After years of grueling recession, our businesses have created over six million new jobs. We buy more American cars than we have in five years, and less foreign oil than we have in 20. (Applause.

4、) Our housing market is healing, our stock market is rebounding, and consumers, patients, and homeowners enjoy stronger protections than ever before. (Applause.) 今晚，感謝美國人民的勇氣和決心，我有很多內(nèi)容需要匯報(bào)。在十年的殘酷戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)之后，我們勇敢的穿軍裝的男人女人正在歸來。(掌聲)在多年的緊張的蕭條期后，我們的商業(yè)已經(jīng)創(chuàng)造了600萬新的就業(yè)崗位。我們現(xiàn)在開始購入比過去5年還要多的汽車，但依賴的國外石油比過去20年總和都要少。我們的住宅

5、市場(chǎng)正在復(fù)蘇，我們的股票市場(chǎng)正在反彈。消費(fèi)者、病人、房產(chǎn)所有者也享受比之前更有力的保護(hù)。(掌聲)So, together, we have cleared away the rubble of crisis, and we can say with renewed confidence that the State of our Union is stronger. (Applause.)所以，在一起，我們清除了危機(jī)的廢墟。而且，我們可以說，通過新的信心，我們國家的狀態(tài)更強(qiáng)有力了。(掌聲) But we gather here knowing that there are millions o

6、f Americans whose hard work and dedication have not yet been rewarded. Our economy is adding jobs - but too many people still cant find full-time employment. Corporate profits have skyrocketed to all-time highs - but for more than a decade, wages and incomes have barely budged.但是我們來到這里，知道還有數(shù)百萬的美國人，通

7、過辛苦的工作和奉獻(xiàn)，并沒有得到回報(bào)。我們的經(jīng)濟(jì)正在創(chuàng)造就業(yè)崗位但仍然有許多人不能找到全職工作。企業(yè)利潤飆升到了新高度但十多年來，薪資和收入幾乎從未上升。 It is our generations task, then, to reignite the true engine of Americas economic growth - a rising, thriving middle class. (Applause.) 我們這一代人的任務(wù)是重燃美國經(jīng)濟(jì)增長的發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)造就一個(gè)升起的、興旺的中產(chǎn)階級(jí)。(掌聲)It is our unfinished task to restore the bas

8、ic bargain that built this country - the idea that if you work hard and meet your responsibilities, you can get ahead, no matter where you come from, no matter what you look like, or who you love.我們的未竟任務(wù)是恢復(fù)我們國家的基本協(xié)議如果你工作努力并且負(fù)責(zé)任，你將會(huì)領(lǐng)先于別人，不論你從哪里來，不論你長得怎樣，或者愛的是誰。It is our unfinished task to make sure t

9、hat this government works on behalf of the many, and not just the few; that it encourages free enterprise, rewards individual initiative, and opens the doors of opportunity to every child across this great nation. (Applause.)我們的未竟任務(wù)是政府為大多數(shù)人服務(wù)，而不是少數(shù)人；政府鼓勵(lì)自由企業(yè)、獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)個(gè)人的主創(chuàng)性，并且給這個(gè)國家的每一個(gè)孩子都提供發(fā)展的機(jī)會(huì)。(掌聲)The Am

10、erican people dont expect government to solve every problem. They dont expect those of us in this chamber to agree on every issue. But they do expect us to put the nations interests before party. (Applause.) They do expect us to forge reasonable compromise where we can. For they know that America mo

11、ves forward only when we do so together, and that the responsibility of improving this union remains the task of us all.美國人并不期望政府解決所有的問題。他們不期望在這個(gè)議事廳里的我們?cè)谒械氖聞?wù)上有一致的看法。但是他們期望我們把國家利益放在黨派前面。(掌聲)他們期望我們?cè)谖覀兡茏咦龅降淖h題上形成合理的妥協(xié)。因?yàn)樗麄冎乐挥挟?dāng)我們一起做這些事的時(shí)候，美國才會(huì)前進(jìn)。改善這個(gè)國家的責(zé)任是我們所共有的。Our work must begin by making some basic

12、 decisions about our budget - decisions that will have a huge impact on the strength of our recovery.我們的工作必須從如何決定我們的預(yù)算開始這些決定將對(duì)我們復(fù)蘇的勢(shì)頭有巨大影響。 Over the last few years, both parties have worked together to reduce the deficit by more than $2.5 trillion - mostly through spending cuts, but also by raising

13、tax rates on the wealthiest 1 percent of Americans. As a result, we are more than halfway towards the goal of $4 trillion in deficit reduction that economists say we need to stabilize our finances. 過去幾年，兩黨共同努力，削減了2.5萬億美元的赤字大部分是通過削減支出進(jìn)行的，當(dāng)然我們也對(duì)最富有的1%的美國人提高了稅率。結(jié)果就是，我們已經(jīng)完成了經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)家認(rèn)為的足以穩(wěn)定財(cái)政的削減赤字4萬億美元任務(wù)的一半還

14、要多。 Now we need to finish the job. And the question is, how?現(xiàn)在我們需要完成這項(xiàng)任務(wù)。問題是，怎樣完成？In 2011, Congress passed a law saying that if both parties couldnt agree on a plan to reach our deficit goal, about a trillion dollars worth of budget cuts would automatically go into effect this year. These sudden, ha

15、rsh, arbitrary cuts would jeopardize our military readiness. Theyd devastate priorities like education, and energy, and medical research. They would certainly slow our recovery, and cost us hundreds of thousands of jobs. Thats why Democrats, Republicans, business leaders, and economists have already

16、 said that these cuts, known here in Washington as the sequester, are a really bad idea. 2011年，國會(huì)通過了一個(gè)議案。議案稱如果兩黨不能對(duì)削減赤字達(dá)成一致，那么價(jià)值約1萬億美元的預(yù)算削減將會(huì)自動(dòng)生效。這些突然的、殘酷的、武斷的削減，將會(huì)使我們的軍事準(zhǔn)備陷入危險(xiǎn)。這也將會(huì)使教育、能源及醫(yī)療科研等優(yōu)先問題惡化。這將會(huì)毫無疑問地減緩我們的經(jīng)濟(jì)復(fù)蘇，并且還會(huì)讓我們付出成百上千個(gè)就業(yè)崗位的代價(jià)。這就是為什么民主黨員們、共和黨員們、商業(yè)領(lǐng)袖們以及經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)家們已經(jīng)說過，在華盛頓被認(rèn)為是一種扣押行為的這些削減措施，是一個(gè)

17、確實(shí)無誤的壞主意。 Now, some in Congress have proposed preventing only the defense cuts by making even bigger cuts to things like education and job training, Medicare and Social Security benefits. That idea is even worse. (Applause.) 現(xiàn)在，國會(huì)中的某些人已經(jīng)開始提議防止通過更大幅度的削減教育、職業(yè)培訓(xùn)、老年保健醫(yī)療體系和社會(huì)保險(xiǎn)津貼的經(jīng)費(fèi)以削減國防經(jīng)費(fèi)。(掌聲)Yes, the b

18、iggest driver of our long-term debt is the rising cost of health care for an aging population. And those of us who care deeply about programs like Medicare must embrace the need for modest reforms - otherwise, our retirement programs will crowd out the investments we need for our children, and jeopa

19、rdize the promise of a secure retirement for future generations. 是的，目前推動(dòng)我們長期債務(wù)最大的推手是，養(yǎng)老醫(yī)療保障費(fèi)用的增加。那些非常關(guān)心我們老年保健醫(yī)療體系的人必須接受適度的改革否則，我們退休項(xiàng)目將會(huì)比我們對(duì)孩子們的投入更龐大，而且會(huì)使得未來幾代人的退休保障更加危險(xiǎn)。But we cant ask senior citizens and working families to shoulder the entire burden of deficit reduction while asking nothing more f

20、rom the wealthiest and the most powerful. (Applause.) We wont grow the middle class simply by shifting the cost of health care or college onto families that are already struggling, or by forcing communities to lay off more teachers and more cops and more firefighters. Most Americans - Democrats, Rep

21、ublicans, and independents - understand that we cant just cut our way to prosperity. They know that broad-based economic growth requires a balanced approach to deficit reduction, with spending cuts and revenue, and with everybody doing their fair share. And thats the approach I offer tonight. 但是，我們不

22、能讓老人和工薪家庭承擔(dān)削減赤字的重任的同時(shí)，不去向最富有的最有影響力的人征收更多的稅收。(掌聲)我們不會(huì)通過向那些已經(jīng)在艱苦奮斗的家庭簡(jiǎn)單地提升醫(yī)療保險(xiǎn)經(jīng)費(fèi)或者大學(xué)學(xué)費(fèi)抑或是強(qiáng)迫社區(qū)裁掉更多的老師、警察、消防員的方法以擴(kuò)充我們的中產(chǎn)階級(jí)。大多數(shù)美國人民主黨員們、共和黨員們、獨(dú)立人士理解我們并不能削減掉我們通往繁榮的道路。他們知道，我們基礎(chǔ)廣泛的經(jīng)濟(jì)增長，需要的是一個(gè)可以削減支出和稅收的每一個(gè)人都各司其職的平衡的途徑以抵達(dá)赤字削減的目標(biāo)。這就是今晚我要提出的方案。On Medicare, Im prepared to enact reforms that will achieve the sam

23、e amount of health care savings by the beginning of the next decade as the reforms proposed by the bipartisan Simpson-Bowles commission. (Applause.) 關(guān)于老年保健醫(yī)療體系，我已準(zhǔn)備頒布改革方案，那將在下一個(gè)10年開始時(shí)，實(shí)現(xiàn)同等數(shù)額的保健資金儲(chǔ)備。這一改革方案是由國會(huì)內(nèi)跨黨派的辛普森-鮑爾斯委員會(huì)草擬提交的。(掌聲)Already, the Affordable Care Act is helping to slow the growth of h

24、ealth care costs. (Applause.) And the reforms Im proposing go even further. Well reduce taxpayer subsidies to prescription drug companies and ask more from the wealthiest seniors. (Applause.) Well bring down costs by changing the way our government pays for Medicare, because our medical bills should

25、nt be based on the number of tests ordered or days spent in the hospital; they should be based on the quality of care that our seniors receive. (Applause.) And I am open to additional reforms from both parties, so long as they dont violate the guarantee of a secure retirement. Our government shouldn

26、t make promises we cannot keep - but we must keep the promises weve already made. (Applause.)平價(jià)醫(yī)療法案已經(jīng)開始幫助減緩醫(yī)保經(jīng)費(fèi)的增長。(掌聲)我提議的改革將會(huì)走得更遠(yuǎn)。我們將會(huì)削減納稅人對(duì)于處方類藥品公司的津貼，同時(shí)向那些最富有的高層管理索取更多。(掌聲)我們將會(huì)通過改變政府為老年保健醫(yī)療體系埋單的方式以調(diào)低醫(yī)藥費(fèi)，因?yàn)槲覀兊尼t(yī)療賬單不應(yīng)該基于我們?cè)卺t(yī)院住了多少天做了多少體檢，而應(yīng)基于我們的老人享受了多么高質(zhì)量的醫(yī)護(hù)措施。(掌聲)現(xiàn)在我將聽取來自兩黨的附加改革措施，只要他們不違反退休安全的保障。我們

27、的政府不應(yīng)該承諾一些我們不能完成的誓言，而是應(yīng)該完成一些我們已經(jīng)決定的諾言。(掌聲) To hit the rest of our deficit reduction target, we should do what leaders in both parties have already suggested, and save hundreds of billions of dollars by getting rid of tax loopholes and deductions for the well-off and the well-connected. After all, wh

28、y would we choose to make deeper cuts to education and Medicare just to protect special interest tax breaks? How is that fair? Why is it that deficit reduction is a big emergency justifying making cuts in Social Security benefits but not closing some loopholes? How does that promote growth? (Applaus

29、e.)為了達(dá)到我們剩下的赤字削減目標(biāo)，我們應(yīng)該完成兩黨領(lǐng)袖已經(jīng)建議了的，擺脫富貴者的稅收漏洞和削減，這樣可以節(jié)省千億美元。畢竟，為什么我們要對(duì)教育和老年保健醫(yī)療體系選擇進(jìn)行更多的削減，而僅僅是為了保護(hù)一些特殊利益者的免稅？那樣公平嗎？為什么赤字削減是社會(huì)保障救濟(jì)金的的削減而非彌補(bǔ)那些高收入者的稅收漏洞？那樣可以提升經(jīng)濟(jì)增長速度嗎？(掌聲) Now is our best chance for bipartisan, comprehensive tax reform that encourages job creation and helps bring down the deficit. (A

30、pplause.) We can get this done. The American people deserve a tax code that helps small businesses spend less time filling out complicated forms, and more time expanding and hiring - a tax code that ensures billionaires with high-powered accountants cant work the system and pay a lower rate than the

31、ir hardworking secretaries; a tax code that lowers incentives to move jobs overseas, and lowers tax rates for businesses and manufacturers that are creating jobs right here in the United States of America. Thats what tax reform can deliver. Thats what we can do together. (Applause.)現(xiàn)在是進(jìn)行兩黨廣泛合作的可以鼓勵(lì)創(chuàng)

32、造就業(yè)崗位以及削減赤字的稅收改革最好時(shí)機(jī)。(掌聲)我們可以完成這個(gè)。美國人民理應(yīng)得到一個(gè)可以幫助小企業(yè)花更少的時(shí)間填寫復(fù)雜表格以及更多時(shí)間擴(kuò)員和招募的免稅代碼一個(gè)確保擁有高效會(huì)計(jì)師的億萬富翁們不能投機(jī)取巧地比他們更努力工作的秘書繳納更少低額稅率的免稅代碼；一個(gè)降低把崗位挪到海外、降低美國本土商業(yè)和制造業(yè)崗位稅率的免稅代碼。這才是稅務(wù)改革可以實(shí)現(xiàn)的。這才是我們可以共同完成的。(掌聲) I realize that tax reform and entitlement reform will not be easy. The politics will be hard for both sides

33、. None of us will get 100 percent of what we want. But the alternative will cost us jobs, hurt our economy, visit hardship on millions of hardworking Americans. So lets set party interests aside and work to pass a budget that replaces reckless cuts with smart savings and wise investments in our futu

34、re. And lets do it without the brinksmanship that stresses consumers and scares off investors. (Applause.) The greatest nation on Earth cannot keep conducting its business by drifting from one manufactured crisis to the next. (Applause.) We cant do it. 我知道稅務(wù)改革和權(quán)利改革不會(huì)那么容易。對(duì)于兩黨來說，都將會(huì)很困難。我們沒有人可以達(dá)到百分之百的

35、需求。但是不這樣做的后果是，我們的就業(yè)崗位、經(jīng)濟(jì)將會(huì)付出代價(jià)，百萬奮斗中的美國人將會(huì)更加艱苦。因而我們要把黨派利益放在一邊，共同努力以通過一個(gè)可以取代不計(jì)后果的削減預(yù)算，對(duì)未來進(jìn)行靈活的節(jié)省和智慧的投資。讓我們共同努力，以取代一個(gè)讓消費(fèi)者緊張、讓投資者害怕的邊緣政策。(掌聲)地球上最偉大的國家不能繼續(xù)通過把一個(gè)制造業(yè)危機(jī)漂流到下一個(gè)制造業(yè)危機(jī)的方式發(fā)展經(jīng)濟(jì)。(掌聲)我們不能這么做。Lets agree right here, right now to keep the peoples government open, and pay our bills on time, and always

36、uphold the full faith and credit of the United States of America. (Applause.) The American people have worked too hard, for too long, rebuilding from one crisis to see their elected officials cause another. (Applause.) 讓我們?cè)诖藭r(shí)此地就達(dá)成一致，保證人民的政府公開，按時(shí)付清我們的賬單，并且經(jīng)常遲滯美利堅(jiān)合眾國的信仰和信譽(yù)。(掌聲)美國人民在相當(dāng)長的時(shí)間里工作太努力了，從一個(gè)危機(jī)

37、中重建起來，發(fā)現(xiàn)被選上來的新官員造成了另一個(gè)危機(jī)。(掌聲) Now, most of us agree that a plan to reduce the deficit must be part of our agenda. But lets be clear, deficit reduction alone is not an economic plan. (Applause.) A growing economy that creates good, middle-class jobs - that must be the North Star that guides our effor

38、ts. (Applause.) Every day, we should ask ourselves three questions as a nation: How do we attract more jobs to our shores? How do we equip our people with the skills they need to get those jobs? And how do we make sure that hard work leads to a decent living?現(xiàn)在，我們大多數(shù)人就削減赤字的方案達(dá)成一致。這是我們未來計(jì)劃的一部分。但是我們要清

39、醒地認(rèn)識(shí)到，獨(dú)立的赤字削減并不是一個(gè)經(jīng)濟(jì)方案。(掌聲)一個(gè)可以創(chuàng)造好的、中產(chǎn)階級(jí)的就業(yè)崗位增長的經(jīng)濟(jì)體應(yīng)該是指引我們前進(jìn)的北極星。(掌聲)每一天，我們作為一個(gè)國家應(yīng)該對(duì)自己提出三個(gè)問題：我們?nèi)绾伟迅嗟膷徫晃轿覀兊膬蓚€(gè)海岸？我們?nèi)绾芜M(jìn)行崗位培訓(xùn)？我們?nèi)绾未_保努力工作之后可以有體面的生活？A year and a half ago, I put forward an American Jobs Act that independent economists said would create more than 1 million new jobs. And I thank the last

40、 Congress for passing some of that agenda. I urge this Congress to pass the rest. (Applause.) But tonight, Ill lay out additional proposals that are fully paid for and fully consistent with the budget framework both parties agreed to just 18 months ago. Let me repeat - nothing Im proposing tonight s

41、hould increase our deficit by a single dime. It is not a bigger government we need, but a smarter government that sets priorities and invests in broad-based growth. (Applause.) Thats what we should be looking for.一年半之前，我簽署了美國就業(yè)法案。一些獨(dú)立的經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)家認(rèn)為這會(huì)創(chuàng)造100萬個(gè)新崗位。我感謝上一屆國會(huì)通過了其中的一些方案。我希望這一屆國會(huì)通過剩下的。(掌聲)但是今晚，我將提出

42、附加的方案。這些附加的方案是和兩黨在一年半之前達(dá)成一致的預(yù)算框架方案有很直接的關(guān)系的。讓我重復(fù)一遍我今晚提出的方案不會(huì)增加我們的預(yù)算一毛錢。我們不需要大政府，而需要一個(gè)能夠明辨主次之分的對(duì)廣泛的經(jīng)濟(jì)進(jìn)行投資的更智能的政府。(掌聲)那才是我們應(yīng)該尋求的。Our first priority is making America a magnet for new jobs and manufacturing. After shedding jobs for more than 10 years, our manufacturers have added about 500,000 jobs over

43、 the past three. Caterpillar is bringing jobs back from Japan. Ford is bringing jobs back from Mexico. And this year, Apple will start making Macs in America again. (Applause.)我們首要的任務(wù)是要讓美國成為吸引新就業(yè)崗位和制造業(yè)的地方。在長達(dá)10年的制造業(yè)工作崗位的流失態(tài)勢(shì)下，我們?cè)谶^去3年創(chuàng)造了50萬個(gè)就業(yè)崗位。 開拓重工公司開始把崗位從日本帶回。福特汽車公司開始把崗位從墨西哥帶回。今年，蘋果公司也將重新在美國生產(chǎn)蘋果電

44、腦。(掌聲) There are things we can do, right now, to accelerate this trend. Last year, we created our first manufacturing innovation institute in Youngstown, Ohio. A once-shuttered warehouse is now a state-of-the art lab where new workers are mastering the 3D printing that has the potential to revolutio

45、nize the way we make almost everything. Theres no reason this cant happen in other towns. 現(xiàn)在有我們可以做的事情。這些事情可以加速這一潮流。去年，我們?cè)诙砗ザ碇莸臈钏苟貏?chuàng)造了第一個(gè)制造業(yè)革新中心。一個(gè)曾經(jīng)的百葉窗式庫房變成了 一個(gè)藝術(shù)實(shí)驗(yàn)室。在那里，新工人在立體打印技術(shù)。這種技術(shù)可以革新我們制作幾乎任何東西的方法。沒有理由這個(gè)在其他城鎮(zhèn)不能發(fā)生。So tonight, Im announcing the launch of three more of these manufacturing hubs, w

46、here businesses will partner with the Department of Defense and Energy to turn regions left behind by globalization into global centers of high-tech jobs. And I ask this Congress to help create a network of 15 of these hubs and guarantee that the next revolution in manufacturing is made right here i

47、n America. We can get that done. (Applause.)所以今晚，我宣布三個(gè)新的制造業(yè)中心開始建造。在這些地方，商業(yè)將和國防部以及能源部合作，把被全球化淘汰的區(qū)域轉(zhuǎn)變成全球可以提供高科技工作 崗位的中心?，F(xiàn)在我向這屆國會(huì)提議，幫助創(chuàng)建包括15個(gè)這樣中心的網(wǎng)絡(luò)，并且確保，下一次建造業(yè)革命就在美國發(fā)生。我們可以做到。(掌聲) Now, if we want to make the best products, we also have to invest in the best ideas. Every dollar we invested to map the h

48、uman genome returned $140 to our economy - every dollar. Today, our scientists are mapping the human brain to unlock the answers to Alzheimers. Theyre developing drugs to regenerate damaged organs; devising new material to make batteries 10 times more powerful. Now is not the time to gut these job-c

49、reating investments in science and innovation. Now is the time to reach a level of research and development not seen since the height of the Space Race. We need to make those investments. (Applause.) 現(xiàn)在，如果我們想制造出最好的產(chǎn)品，我們還要在最好的想法上進(jìn)行投資。每一個(gè)我們用于測(cè)出人類基因圖譜的美元都給我們經(jīng)濟(jì)帶來了140美元的收 入每一個(gè)美元。今天，我們的科學(xué)家為解決老年癡呆癥正在測(cè)出人類大腦

50、的圖譜。他們正在研制可以讓我們器官再生的藥品，發(fā)明可以讓電池儲(chǔ)電量比之前強(qiáng) 10倍的新材料?，F(xiàn)在不是損毀科技革新領(lǐng)域可創(chuàng)造就業(yè)方面的投資的時(shí)候?，F(xiàn)在是在一個(gè)讓研發(fā)達(dá)到一個(gè)自從太空競(jìng)賽以來從未見過之高度的時(shí)候。我們需要進(jìn)行這些投資。(掌聲)Today, no area holds more promise than our investments in American energy. After years of talking about it, were finally poised to control our own energy future. We produce more oil

51、 at home than we have in 15 years. (Applause.) We have doubled the distance our cars will go on a gallon of gas, and the amount of renewable energy we generate from sources like wind and solar - with tens of thousands of good American jobs to show for it. We produce more natural gas than ever before

52、 - and nearly everyones energy bill is lower because of it. And over the last four years, our emissions of the dangerous carbon pollution that threatens our planet have actually fallen.今天，沒有比我們?cè)诿绹茉锤枰覀兺顿Y的領(lǐng)域。在討論了數(shù)年之后，我們終于準(zhǔn)備控制我們自己的能源未來。我們?cè)诿绹就辽a(chǎn)了比過去15年 綜合還多的石油。(掌聲)我們汽車用的1加侖天然氣量可以讓我們跑得比過去的兩倍還多。我們通過風(fēng)力

53、發(fā)電和太陽能發(fā)電生產(chǎn)出來的新能源創(chuàng)造了數(shù)以萬計(jì) 的優(yōu)質(zhì)美國就業(yè)崗位。我們生產(chǎn)出了比以往任何時(shí)候都多的天然氣幾乎所有人的能源賬單都因此減少了。過去的4年，威脅我們星球的危險(xiǎn)的碳排放量依然減少。 But for the sake of our children and our future, we must do more to combat climate change. (Applause.) Now, its true that no single event makes a trend. But the fact is the 12 hottest years on record have

54、 all come in the last 15. Heat waves, droughts, wildfires, floods - all are now more frequent and more intense. We can choose to believe that Superstorm Sandy, and the most severe drought in decades, and the worst wildfires some states have ever seen were all just a freak coincidence. Or we can choo

55、se to believe in the overwhelming judgment of science - and act before its too late. (Applause.)但是對(duì)于我們孩子們以及我們更遠(yuǎn)的未來而言，我們必須在防治全球變暖方面做得更多。(掌聲)現(xiàn)在，真實(shí)情況是，沒有一個(gè)孤立的事件可以成為一個(gè) 潮流。但事實(shí)上，12個(gè)最熱的有紀(jì)錄的年份恰是在過去15年中。熱浪、干旱、野火、洪水比以往更加頻繁和劇烈。我們可以選擇相信，桑迪颶風(fēng)、幾十年來 最嚴(yán)重的干旱，以及最具有毀壞性的野火的同時(shí)發(fā)生不過是個(gè)怪異的巧合。我們也可以相信科學(xué)的絕對(duì)公平并且現(xiàn)在就開始行動(dòng)，為時(shí)未晚。(掌聲

56、) Now, the good news is we can make meaningful progress on this issue while driving strong economic growth. I urge this Congress to get together, pursue a bipartisan, market-based solution to climate change, like the one John McCain and Joe Lieberman worked on together a few years ago. But if Congre

57、ss wont act soon to protect future generations, I will. (Applause.) I will direct my Cabinet to come up with executive actions we can take, now and in the future, to reduce pollution, prepare our communities for the consequences of climate change, and speed the transition to more sustainable sources
