奧巴馬復(fù)旦演講稿

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) 你們好。能夠有機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,但我期待著這個和你們對話的機會。

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,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,希望有機會看到壯觀的故宮和奇跡般的長城。的確,這是一個既有豐富的歷史,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》(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,美國與這個城市以及這個國家的紐帶可以追溯到更久遠的過去,直至美國獨立初期。

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.1784年,我們的建國之父喬治·華盛頓主持了“中國女皇號”(Empress of 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 shown to our pilots who were shot down over your soil during World War II, and cared for by Chinese civilians who risked all that they had by doing so. And Chinese veterans of that war still warmly greet those American veterans who return to the sites where they fought to help liberate China from occupation. 在此后的兩個世紀(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護理他們。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,因為盡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員在回憶對中國的訪問時所說:“那里的人民和我們一樣……這個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,這個小小的契機帶來了《上海公報》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足的進展。

In 1979, trade between the United States and China stood at roughly billion - today it tops over 0 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,年度貿(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口的,我們向中國出口你們的工業(yè)需要的機器。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。隨著需求趨于平衡,繁榮的范圍將進一步擴大。

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 I meet 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)濟復(fù)蘇和清潔能源開發(fā)、制止核武器擴散和氣候變化的影響、在亞洲及全球各地促進和平與安全。所有這些問題都是我明天與胡錦濤同志會談的內(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 across many sectors. The second highest number of foreign students in the United States come from China, and we've seen a 50 percent increase in the study of Chinese among our own students. There are nearly 200 "friendship cities" drawing our communities together. American and Chinese scientists cooperate on new research and discovery. And of course, Yao Ming is just one signal of our shared love of basketball. I'm only sorry that I won't be able to see a Shanghai Sharks game while I'm visiting.1979年,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)系相伴著一個積極變化的時期,這不是偶然的。中國實現(xiàn)了億萬人民脫貧,這一成就史無前例,同時,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,經(jīng)濟也取得了增長,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 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?!碑?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。

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.可是,這種接觸的成功取決于理解,取決于繼續(xù)進行開誠布公的對話,相互了解,相互學(xué)習(xí)。正如前面提到的那位美國乒乓球隊員所說——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)為每個國家都必須規(guī)劃自己的前進方向。中國是一個文明古國,文化深遠。而美國相對而言是一個年輕的國家,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,在很長的時間里,我們要通過斗爭去實現(xiàn)這些原則對全體人民的承諾,締造一個更趨完善的聯(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)過了一段時間才實現(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定信念,我們?nèi)〉昧诉M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,這是一場考驗一個孕育于自由之中、“忠實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會的人都能獲得機會;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 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有的。表達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

mportant 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)顧一下這個大廳——我確信我們兩個國家有一個很重要的共同點,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,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。這也就是為什么美國堅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強大、繁榮、成功的成員——一個從你們這樣的每個中國人的權(quán)利、實力和創(chuàng)造力中獲得力量的中國。

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 lessonthat 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.回到前面提到的那句古語——回顧過去。我們知道,大國之間選擇合作而非對抗會帶來更大的惠益。這是人類不斷汲取的一個教訓(xùn),我們兩國的關(guān)系史中也不乏其例。我深信,合作必須不止于政府間的合作。合作必須植根于我們的人民——植根于我們共同進行的研究,我們的商貿(mào)活動,我們所學(xué)到的知識,乃至我們的體育運動。這些橋梁必須由你們這樣的年輕人和美國的年輕人共同構(gòu)筑。

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 absolutelyconfident 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.因此,我高興地宣布,美國準(zhǔn)備將在中國留學(xué)的美國學(xué)生人數(shù)大幅度增加到10萬人。這種交流是對在我們兩國人民之間建立聯(lián)系的明確承諾,毫無疑問,你們將幫助決定21世紀(jì)的命運。我完全相信,對美·來說,再好的使者莫過于我們的年輕人。因為他們和你們一樣,才華橫溢,充滿活力,對有待書寫的歷史篇章充滿樂觀。

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.那么,就讓這個舉措成為我們穩(wěn)步尋求合作的下一個步驟,這種合作有利于我們兩國乃至整個世界。如果能從今天的對話中得到一點啟示的話,我希望那就是致力于今后繼續(xù)進行這種對話。

So thank you very much. And I look forward now to taking some questions from all of you. Thank you very much. (Applause)非常感謝諸位?,F(xiàn)在我希望回答你們大家提出的一些問題。非常感謝。(掌聲)
