Let me give you another example of our security cooperation. The United States and China are also working as international -- with international partners to counter the threat posed by the spread of nuclear weapons, materials and technology, so called nonproliferation. Along with 46 other world leaders, President Hu honored us by joining President Obama and me at the Nuclear Security Summit in April of last year, and our nations are now collaborating on a center for excellence to provide nuclear security in China.

　　讓我再舉一個我們安全合作的例子。美國和中國也進(jìn)行國際的——與國際合作伙伴一道，對抗核武器、核材料和技術(shù)擴(kuò)散所造成的威脅，即所謂的防擴(kuò)散。與46個其他世界領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人一道，我們榮幸地請到胡錦濤與奧巴馬總統(tǒng)和我一起出席了去年4月舉行的核安全峰會，我們兩國正在就一個示范中心進(jìn)行合作，為中國提供核安全。

　　In my discussions with Vice President Xi this week, I said we have to deepen our conversations on the world’s two primary nuclear proliferating challenges: North Korea and Iran. I know that China shares our concerns, but some of you may wonder why our focus -- the focus of the United States is so intense. The reason is clear: If armed with nuclear weapons on long-range missiles, North Korea and Iran would pose a direct and serious threat to the security of the United States of America and our allies. It would present an existential threat. That is why -- that is why we’ve been working with China and our international partners to maintain peace and stability on the Korean peninsula and to achieve a complete denuclearization of North Korea. And it is why as the Iranian government continues its illicit nuclear program, we have worked with a range of partners and international institutions to enact the toughest sanctions that Iran has ever faced.

　　在本周與副主席的討論中，我表示，我們必須加深對世界上兩個主要的核擴(kuò)散挑戰(zhàn)的對話：北韓和伊朗。我知道，中國和我們一樣擔(dān)心，但你們有些人可能會問為什么我們的重視——美國的重視是如此強(qiáng)烈。原因很清楚：如果有了配備核武器的遠(yuǎn)程導(dǎo)彈，北韓和伊朗將對美國和我們盟友的安全構(gòu)成直接和嚴(yán)重的威脅。這將是對存在的威脅。這就是為什么——這就是為什么我們一直與中國和我們的國際伙伴合作，維持朝鮮半島的和平與穩(wěn)定，實(shí)現(xiàn)北韓的完全無核化。這也是為什么隨著伊朗政府繼續(xù)其非法的核計劃，我們與諸多合作伙伴和國際機(jī)構(gòu)合作，對伊朗實(shí)施它所面臨的最嚴(yán)厲的制裁。

　　Without vigilant implementation of these sanctions, Iran will evade the consequences of the actions and diplomacy will not be effective in stopping their nuclear program. So we will continue to look to China to send a clear message to Iranian leaders through its words and its deeds that they, Iran, must live up to their international obligations.

　　如果不以高度的警覺采取這些制裁，伊朗將會逃避其行動的后果，外交也無法有效地阻止其實(shí)施核計劃。因此，我們將繼續(xù)期待中國通過言詞和行動向伊朗領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人發(fā)出明確的信號，敦促伊朗必須履行其國際義務(wù)。

　　There are many other security challenges that the United States and China share. From Afghanistan, to Pakistan, to the Sudan -- and we have been and will continue to discuss our mutual interests and concerns. Continuing to develop our security dialogue and cooperation is the surest way to meet these joint challenges.

　　美中兩國還面臨著許多其他共同的安全挑戰(zhàn)。從阿富汗、巴基斯坦到蘇丹--我們已經(jīng)并將繼續(xù)討論我們的共同利益和共同關(guān)心的問題。繼續(xù)推進(jìn)我們的安全對話與合作是迎接這些挑戰(zhàn)的最可靠的途徑。

　　Economic issues -- to state the obvious -- have been a particular focus of our nations’ growing cooperation. Together, we’re working to promote economic growth that is strong, sustainable and balanced, and trade that is free and fair.

　　經(jīng)濟(jì)問題無疑是我們兩國日益加強(qiáng)合作特別強(qiáng)調(diào)的重點(diǎn)。我們正攜手努力促進(jìn)強(qiáng)勁、可持續(xù)且平衡的經(jīng)濟(jì)增長并推行自由和公平的貿(mào)易。

　　Trade and investment between our countries are growing rapidly in both countries, in both directions, creating jobs and economic opportunities in both countries.

　　我們兩國的貿(mào)易和投資正在兩國間雙向迅速發(fā)展，為兩國創(chuàng)造就業(yè)機(jī)會和經(jīng)濟(jì)機(jī)會。

　　We often hear about Chinese exports to the United States, but last year American companies in America exported 0 billion worth of goods and services to China, supporting hundreds of thousands of jobs in America. The American people and the Chinese people are hopefully -- are becoming aware that it’s in our mutual interest in each of our countries to promote that exchange.

　　我們常聽說中國向美國出口產(chǎn)品，但去年美國國內(nèi)公司向中國出口了價值1,100億美元的商品和服務(wù)，維持了美國成千上萬的工作崗位。希望美國人民和中國人民日益認(rèn)識到，促進(jìn)這一交流符合我們兩國的共同利益。

　　A more prosperous China will mean more demand for American-made goods and services and more jobs back home in the United States of America. So our desire for your prosperity is not borne out of some nobility. It is in our self-interest that China continue to prosper.

　　一個更繁榮的中國將意味著對美國制造的商品和服務(wù)的需求增加，意味著美國國內(nèi)就業(yè)機(jī)會增多。因此，我們希望你們繁榮，這不是因?yàn)槌鲇谀撤N崇高的目的;中國繼續(xù)繁榮，符合我們自身的利益。

　　Every day it becomes clear that as the world’s two largest economies with ever growing ties of investment and commerce, what you do matters to us and matters to the American people. And what we do matters to you and to the people of China. To state it bluntly, we have a stake in one another’s success.

　　每一天都顯而易見的是，作為世界兩個最大經(jīng)濟(jì)體，隨著投資和商務(wù)日益密切，你們所做的關(guān)系到我們，關(guān)系到美國人民。我們所做的關(guān)系到你們，關(guān)系到中國人民。簡言之，我們?nèi)魏我环降某晒Γ瑢Ρ舜死尕P(guān)。

　　Just as putting America’s fiscal policy on a long-term sustainable path is important not only to the United States but to China, to China’s economy, shifting China economy, which the 12th five-year plan calls for, to rely more heavily on consumer demand in China is not only important to China, but it’s important to the United States of America.

　　美國的財政政策保持在長期可持續(xù)的軌道上，不僅對美國，而且對中國、中國經(jīng)濟(jì)具有重要意義;同樣，中國經(jīng)濟(jì)按第12個五年計劃的要求，向更多地依賴國內(nèi)消費(fèi)需求轉(zhuǎn)型，不僅對中國，而且對美國具有重要意義。

　　As Chinese leaders have told me, this five-year plan will require them to take a number of steps including continuing their effort to move toward a more flexible exchange rate. It’s in China’s interest, but it’s also overwhelmingly in the interest of the United States.

　　中國領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人曾對我所說，這個五年計劃將要求他們采取一些措施，其中包括繼續(xù)努力實(shí)現(xiàn)更靈活的匯率。這符合中國的利益，同時也完全符合美國的利益。

　　In this time of uncertainty in global -- in the global economy, it is all the more important that we take the difficult but necessary steps together and along with our G20 partners continue to sustain the global recovery and create jobs and prosperity. We’re the two biggest engines in the world to be able to do that. As I said in May, when I opened the annual Strategic and Economic Dialogue in Washington, I said, “For many of the world’s most pressing challenges, it is a simple fact that when the United States and China are not at the table, the solution to the problem is less possible.”

　　在目前全球經(jīng)濟(jì)動蕩的時期，我們更應(yīng)該共同采取艱難但必要的措施，并與我們的20國集團(tuán)伙伴一道，繼續(xù)維持全球復(fù)蘇，創(chuàng)造就業(yè)機(jī)會和繁榮。我們作為全世界兩個最大的發(fā)動機(jī)，能夠做到這一點(diǎn)。今年5月，我在華盛頓每年一度的戰(zhàn)略與經(jīng)濟(jì)對話開幕式上表示，“就全世界大部分的緊迫挑戰(zhàn)而言，如果沒有美中兩國參與，解決問題的可能性就比較低，這已是不言而喻的事實(shí)?！?/p>

　　But even as we cooperate, the United States and China also will compete, and competition is healthy. We will compete in global politics and global economics. And also -- also it is a feature of global politics and economics. It’s also a feature of human nature to observe others, to consider how they measure up, to strive to be the best, that's good for both of us. Genuine competition pushes companies, our companies and our people to perform better, and we should reject the misplaced notion of the zero-sum game in which everything one nation achieves somehow comes at the expense of the other. It is the opposite.

　　然而，即便是在我們合作之際，美中兩國仍還將相互競爭，競爭是有益的。我們將在全球政治和全球經(jīng)濟(jì)領(lǐng)域進(jìn)行競爭。這也是全球政治與經(jīng)濟(jì)的一大特點(diǎn)。這也是人類的本性，通過互相觀察了解如何適應(yīng)形勢，爭取最好的成績，這對我們雙方都很有益。真正的競爭促使公司，我們的公司和我們的人民更趨完善。我們應(yīng)該放棄零和游戲的錯誤理念，不能認(rèn)為一國取得的一切成就意味著另一國的損失。事實(shí)并非如此。

　　So make no mistake, America not only welcomes this healthy competition; competition is stitched into the very fabric of our society and our economic system. And while I may be a little biased, I have overwhelming confidence in the capability of the American people to compete on a level playing field with any nation and any peoples in the world.

　　因此，毫無疑問，美國不但歡迎這種良性競爭，而且競爭是我們的社會和我們的經(jīng)濟(jì)體制根本結(jié)構(gòu)的組成部分。盡管我可能有點(diǎn)偏向，但我對美國人民在一個公平競爭環(huán)境中與世界上任何國家和任何民族競爭的能力抱有絕對的信心。

　　But for this competition to benefit us both, it must take place on a level playing field with rules that are clear and treat all countries fairly and equally. Although the United States and China are working hard to get this right, we still face obstacles of doing business in each other’s countries. That's why I acknowledged on this trip the United States should undertake to make it easier for Chinese business people to obtain visas to travel to the United States. It takes much too long for that to happen. That’s not in our interest.

　　但要使這種競爭給我們雙方都帶來利益，競爭就必須是在一個公平競爭的環(huán)境中進(jìn)行，要有明確的、對所有國家都公平與一視同仁的規(guī)則。雖然美國和中國正在努力爭取達(dá)到這點(diǎn)，但我們?nèi)匀幻媾R著在對方國家里從事商務(wù)的障礙。正因?yàn)槿绱?，我在這次行程中承認(rèn)美國應(yīng)采取措施，使中國商務(wù)人員能夠更方便地獲得赴美國旅行簽證。簽證花費(fèi)時間太長。這不符合我們的利益。

　　And while we are in the midst -- also it’s the reason why the President once he took office ordered for the first time in decades, ordered -- we’re in the midst of a total reform of our export control system. Already, we have made thousands of new items available for export to China for exclusive civilian use that were not available before, some of which require a license, while others don't. And tens of thousands of more items will become available very soon.

　　雖然我們還在進(jìn)行——這也是為什么奧巴馬總統(tǒng)剛一就職便下令，幾十年來第一次下令——我們正在進(jìn)行我國出口管制制度的總體改革。我們已經(jīng)向中國開放了旨在完全用于民用目的的數(shù)千種過去不允許出口的新產(chǎn)品，其中有些需獲得許可證，有些則不需要。還有成千上萬種更多的產(chǎn)品很快將獲得出口許可。

　　That's a significant change in our export policy and a rejection of those voices in America that say we should not export that kind of technology to -- for civilian use in China. We disagree, and we’re changing.

　　這是我們出口政策的一項重大變化，是對美國某些人的意見的否定。他們認(rèn)為，我們不應(yīng)該出口那一類技術(shù)——供中國民用。我們不同意這種看法，我們正在改革。

　　But it’s also why we are troubled when American investors are prohibited from having wholly owned, fully owned subsidiaries of their own company in many sectors in China and excluded from sectors, entirely excluded from competing in other sectors; restrictions that no other major economy in the world imposes on us or anyone else so broadly. That's why we have pushed Chinese officials to protect intellectual property rights. We have welcomed the Chinese State Council’s recent campaign to enforce intellectual property rights, a commitment that President Hu made when he visited and he’s keeping. But the effort must be strengthened and extended.

　　但也正因?yàn)槿绱?，一些情況令我們不安：美國的投資者在中國的許多行業(yè)中被禁止擁有自己的獨(dú)資公司和獨(dú)資分公司;在另一些行業(yè)，在其他行業(yè)完全被排斥在競爭之外;還有一些世界其他主要經(jīng)濟(jì)體不曾強(qiáng)加于我們或其他任何人的、范圍如此之廣的種種限制。正因?yàn)槿绱?，我們積極要求中國官員保護(hù)知識產(chǎn)權(quán)。我們歡迎中國國務(wù)院最近的保護(hù)知識產(chǎn)權(quán)運(yùn)動，這是胡錦濤訪問美國時作出的一項承諾，他在履行這一承諾。但這項努力必須得到加強(qiáng)和延伸。

　　According to the International Trade Commission, American companies lose billion a year and tens of thousands of jobs because of pirated goods and services. These protections -- intellectual property protections not only benefit the United States and United States workers, United States companies, but I would argue Chinese companies, as well, as they increasingly seek to safeguard their own creations.

　　根據(jù)國際貿(mào)易委員會的統(tǒng)計，美國企業(yè)因盜版商品和服務(wù)每年損失480億美元和數(shù)萬個工作崗位。這些保護(hù)——知識產(chǎn)權(quán)的保護(hù)不僅有利于美國和美國工人、美國公司，而且我認(rèn)為也有利于中國的公司企業(yè)，因?yàn)樗麄儠絹碓搅幈Ｗo(hù)自己的創(chuàng)新成果。

　　You’re here at this great university. It’s very much in your interest that intellectual property be protected because some of you are the future artists, the future entertainers, the future innovators who will want to be able to have a market for what you do. But if it can be acquired cheaply and pirated, why would anybody pay you for the same service?

　　你們在這所優(yōu)異的大學(xué)求學(xué)。保護(hù)知識產(chǎn)權(quán)十分符合你們的利益，因?yàn)槟銈冎械囊恍┤藢⒊蔀槲磥淼乃囆g(shù)家、未來的娛樂界人員、未來的發(fā)明家，將希望自己的勞動成果有市場。但如果那一切可以廉價地獲取和剽竊，憑什么還會有人向你們購買同樣的服務(wù)呢?

　　America’s focus on global security, free trade and economic fairness is longstanding. Since the end of World War II, we’ve helped build an international system that promotes peace and stability, gives all states the opportunity to share in global prosperity and provides rules to protect the basic human rights of all citizens.

　　美國對全球安全，自由貿(mào)易和經(jīng)濟(jì)上公平的關(guān)注是長期的。自第二次世界大戰(zhàn)結(jié)束以來，我們幫助建立了一個國際體系，它促進(jìn)和平與穩(wěn)定，使所有國家有機(jī)會分享全球繁榮，并制定保護(hù)所有公民基本人權(quán)的規(guī)則。

　　China’s tremendous progress in my view can be attributed to the industriousness and talent of the Chinese people, as well as its leadership. But it was made possible, I respectfully suggest, by an international architecture that promoted stability and prosperity and enables upward mobility for all countries. I know that many Chinese and probably many of you students believe that your nation will continue on a path of greater prosperity. I agree that it will. That is my view, my prediction. But I also know that some of you are skeptical about America’s future prospects.

　　在我看來，中國的巨大進(jìn)步可歸功于中國人民的勤勞與智慧及其領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人的能力。但我謹(jǐn)要指出，一個促進(jìn)穩(wěn)定與繁榮、使所有國家能夠發(fā)展提高的國際架構(gòu)使這個成就成為可能。我知道，許多中國人、你們學(xué)生中可能有許多人相信，你們的國家將繼續(xù)走向更加繁榮。我同樣認(rèn)為是這樣。這是我的看法、我的預(yù)測。但我同時知道，你們當(dāng)中有些人對美國未來的前景持懷疑態(tài)度。

　　With that in view, I would like to suggest that I respectfully disagree with that view and will allay your concerns. Let me put this in perspective so you can understand why the American people are also confident about their future. America today is by far the world’s largest economy with a GDP of almost trillion, about two and a half times as large as China’s, the second largest; with a per-capita GDP which is more than ,000 -- 11 times that of China’s. I’ve read that some Chinese are concerned about the safety of your investments in American assets. Please understand, no one cares more about this than we do since Americans own 87 percent of all our financial assets and 69 percent of all our treasury bonds, while China owns 1 percent of our financial assets and 8 percent of our treasury bills respectively.

　　因此，我希望指出，我尊重但不同意這種見解，讓我解釋一下為什么你們不必憂慮。我將提供一些背景信息，以便你們了解為什么美國人民也對自己的未來抱有信心。今天，美國是世界上最大的經(jīng)濟(jì)體，遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)超過任何其他國家，國內(nèi)生產(chǎn)總值(GDP)近15萬億美元，大約相當(dāng)于排在第二位的中國的兩倍半;人均國內(nèi)生產(chǎn)總值4.7萬多美元，是中國的11倍。我了解到有些中國人擔(dān)心投資美國資產(chǎn)的安全。請理解，沒有誰比我們更關(guān)心這種狀況，因?yàn)槊绹顺钟形覀內(nèi)拷鹑谫Y產(chǎn)的87%以及我們?nèi)繃鴤?9%，而中國持有我們的金融資產(chǎn)和國債比例分別為1%和8%。

　　So our interest is not just to protect Chinese investment. We have an overarching interest in protecting the investment, while the United States has never defaulted -- and never will default.

　　所以我們的利益不僅在于保護(hù)中國的投資，保護(hù)投資還關(guān)系到我們的總體利益。另外，美國從來沒有違約——將來也永遠(yuǎn)不會違約。

　　I also have confidence in the fundamentals of our economy. Vice President Xi said it best I think when he told a group of Chinese and American business leaders with whom we met the day before yesterday, and I quote him, he said, “the U.S. economy is highly resilient and has a strong capacity to repair itself.” He is right. I believe America is even better equipped to compete in the economy of the future than it was of the economy of the past. In the 20th century, the wealth of nation was primarily measured by the abundance of its natural resources, the expanse of its landmass, the size of its population and the potency of its army. But I believe in the 21st century, the true wealth of a nation will be found in the creative minds of its people and their ability to innovate -- to develop the technologies that will not only spawn new products, but create and awaken entire new industries. The United States is hardwired for innovation. It’s part of our DNA from our earliest days. It has enabled generation after generation of Americans to give life to world-changing ideas -- from the cotton gin, to the airplane, to the microchip, to the Internet, to the world-leading companies like General Electric, Ford, Microsoft and Google. And I could go on and on.

　　我對我國經(jīng)濟(jì)的基本面也有信心。在這一點(diǎn)上，我認(rèn)為習(xí)近平總書記講得非常好。前天我們會見中美商界領(lǐng)袖時，他說：“美國經(jīng)濟(jì)極富韌性，且有很強(qiáng)的自我修復(fù)能力?！彼f得對。我相信，在未來的經(jīng)濟(jì)競爭中，我們的準(zhǔn)備甚至勝過以往。在20世紀(jì)，衡量國家財富的主要尺度是自然資源的豐裕程度、國土幅員、人口規(guī)模和軍事力量。但我認(rèn)為在21世紀(jì)，一個國家的真正財富在于國民的創(chuàng)造性思維和創(chuàng)新能力——開發(fā)的技術(shù)不僅催生新產(chǎn)品，而且能夠創(chuàng)造和喚起全新的產(chǎn)業(yè)。美國的創(chuàng)新能力與生俱來。從一開始，它就是我們遺傳基因的一部分。它使一代又一代美國人構(gòu)想出改變世界的創(chuàng)意——從軋棉機(jī)到飛機(jī)，從微芯片到互聯(lián)網(wǎng)，再如通用電氣、福特、微軟和谷歌等世界領(lǐng)先的公司。這樣的例子不勝枚舉。

　　These accomplishments were made possible not because there’s anything unique about an American. It’s hard to define what an American is. Shortly, 50 percent of the American population -- less than 50 percent will be of European stock. So we are the most -- we are an incredibly heterogeneous nation. That's part of our strength. That's part of the boundless capacity of the American people. But it’s also because of the enduring strength of our political and economic system and the way we educate our children, a system that welcomes immigrants from across the globe who enrich our national fabric and revitalize our diverse multi-ethnic society. And I would point out, we are still the destination where most people in the world seek to come. People usually don't seek to come to a nation in decline.

　　我們之所以能夠取得這些成就，不是因?yàn)槊绹司哂蟹N獨(dú)一無二的特質(zhì)。很難界定美國人是什么樣的人。簡言之，50%的美國人口——不足50%的人口是歐洲人后裔。所以我們的國民具有難以置信的多樣性。這是我們實(shí)力的一部分，也是美國人民無窮創(chuàng)造力的一部分。不過也有其他原因——我們的政治經(jīng)濟(jì)體制和我們教育孩子的方式具有經(jīng)久不衰的力量。這種體制歡迎來自全球各地的移民，讓我們的國家更加豐富多彩，為我們多元的跨種族社會增添活力。我還想指出，我們現(xiàn)在仍是世界第一的移民目的地。人們通常不會尋求遷移到衰落中的國家。

　　A system that trains students not merely to learn and accept established orthodoxy, but to challenge orthodoxy, challenge their professors, challenge the ideas put forward to them, encourage individual thought and innovation; a system that not only tolerates free expression and vigorous debate, including between citizens and their government, but celebrates and promotes those exchanges; a system in which the rule of law protects private property, provides a predictable investment climate, and ensures accountability for the poor and wealthy alike; and a system with universities that remain -- notwithstanding, and this is a great university -- the ultimate destination for scholars from around the world. More than 130 thousand students from China attended our universities last year. We’re hoping that number will be even larger.

　　這種體制訓(xùn)練學(xué)生不僅學(xué)習(xí)和接受傳統(tǒng)知識，而且挑戰(zhàn)傳統(tǒng)知識，挑戰(zhàn)他們的教授，挑戰(zhàn)他們聽到的觀點(diǎn)，鼓勵個人思考和創(chuàng)新;這種體制不僅容許自由表達(dá)和積極辯論，包括公民和政府之間的辯論，而且贊賞和促進(jìn)這種交流;這種體制的法律保護(hù)私有財產(chǎn)，提供可預(yù)期的投資環(huán)境，確保窮人和富人都承擔(dān)責(zé)任;這種體制的大學(xué)依然是世界各地學(xué)者的最終目的地——當(dāng)然，你們的學(xué)校也是一所了不起的大學(xué)。去年有13萬多名中國學(xué)生就讀我們的大學(xué)。我們希望這個數(shù)字進(jìn)一步增加。

　　China has followed a very different economic and political path to prosperity, enhancing some aspects of a free-market system, while resisting political openness and maintaining the state’s deep involvement in economic affairs. That's a decision for you to make.

　　中國選擇了非常不同的經(jīng)濟(jì)和政治道路邁向繁榮，增強(qiáng)了自由市場體系的某些方面，同時抵制政治上的開放，保持國家對經(jīng)濟(jì)事務(wù)的深度干預(yù)。這是你們做出的決定。

　　Maybe the biggest difference in our respective approaches are our approaches to what we refer to as human rights. I recognize that many of you in this auditorium see our advocacy of human rights as at best an intrusion, and at worst an assault on your sovereignty. I want to tell you directly that this is not our intention. Yes, for Americans there is a significant moral component to our advocacy. And we observed where we have failed, as well. But it is who our people are.

　　我們雙方選擇的路徑的最大差異大概是我們對于什么是人權(quán)的認(rèn)識。我認(rèn)識到，在今天在坐的許多人看來，我們倡導(dǎo)人權(quán)的行動往好處說是多管閑事，往壞處說是侵犯你們的主權(quán)。我想直率地對大家說，這不是我們的意圖。是的，對于美國人來說，我們的民主有明顯的道義成分。我們也關(guān)注我們自己沒有做好的地方。這種關(guān)注反映了美國人民的本質(zhì)。

　　But President Obama and I see protecting human rights and freedoms, we see it in a larger context, as well. Protecting freedoms such as those enshrined in China’s international commitments and in China’s own constitution -- we see them as a key aspect of China’s successful emergence and the key continued growth and prosperity. I know that some in China believe that greater freedom could threaten economic progress by undermining social stability. I do not pretend to have the answer, but I believe history has shown the opposite to be true, that in the long run, greater openness is a source of stability and a sign of strength, that prosperity peaks when governments foster both free enterprise and free exchange of ideas, that liberty unlocks a people’s full potential. And in its absence, unrest festers.

　　然而，奧巴馬總統(tǒng)和我也從更廣闊的視角來看待保護(hù)人權(quán)和自由。保護(hù)中國在國際承諾和自己的憲法中闡明的那些自由——我們將之視為中國成功崛起的一個關(guān)鍵方面，也是中國持續(xù)增長和繁榮的一個關(guān)鍵方面。我知道，在中國有人認(rèn)為擴(kuò)大自由會破壞社會穩(wěn)定，從而威脅經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展。我不想假裝知道答案，但我相信歷史證明情況是相反的——從長遠(yuǎn)來看，更加開放是穩(wěn)定的來源和實(shí)力的象征，最有利繁榮的情況是政府既鼓勵自由創(chuàng)業(yè)又鼓勵自由交流觀點(diǎn)，自由使人民能夠充分發(fā)揮潛能。缺乏自由則會產(chǎn)生社會動蕩。

　　Openness, free exchange of ideas, free enterprise and liberty are among the reasons why the United States, in my view, is at this moment the wealthiest nation in the history of the world. It’s why our workers are among the most productive, why our inventors and entrepreneurs hold more patents than any other country in the world, why we are reinvesting in the fundamental sources of our strength -- education, infrastructure, innovation, and why President Obama and I are so confident that America will weather the current economic storm and emerge even stronger, just as we always have in past economic crises, and why there’s no reason why China cannot tap into the same source of strength.

　　開放、思想的自由交流、自由企業(yè)以及各方面的自由等等，在我看來都是美國現(xiàn)在成為世界歷史上最富有國家的原因。正因?yàn)槿绱耍覈と宋挥谏a(chǎn)率最高的行列;正因?yàn)槿绱?，我國發(fā)明家和創(chuàng)業(yè)者擁有的專利比世界上任何其他國家都多;正因?yàn)槿绱?，我們正在對我們國力的根本源?-教育、基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施和創(chuàng)新進(jìn)行再投資;正因?yàn)槿绱?，奧巴馬總統(tǒng)和我如此堅定地相信，美國將與以往經(jīng)濟(jì)危機(jī)時期一樣，一如既往經(jīng)受當(dāng)前經(jīng)濟(jì)風(fēng)暴的考驗(yàn)而變得更為強(qiáng)大;正因?yàn)槿绱耍瑳]有任何理由中國不能挖掘同樣的力量源泉。

　　Going forward together is going to have a lot of growing pains. As I said at the outset, in just over 30 years since I first came to China, your progress has been nothing short of incredible. I can see that here in Chengdu, the city that is leading the effort to become a major player in the innovation economy, you can feel it. You can see it in the eyes of some of you students.

　　在共同向前進(jìn)的道路上定會經(jīng)歷很多成長的煩惱。我在一開始就說過，僅在我首次訪華以來的30多年時間里，你們就已取得了令人難以置信的進(jìn)步。我在成都就可以看到這一點(diǎn)，這個城市為成為創(chuàng)新經(jīng)濟(jì)的主要角色走在最前列。人們可以感覺到這一點(diǎn)。從你們一些學(xué)生的眼神中可以看到這一點(diǎn)。

　　Looking at this audience, there are some among you who will be the new pioneers in China’s economic development, leaving your mark on history. Just like Steve Jobs, the founder of Apple and others have had in the United States, you have the capacity and the potential and I’m sure some of you will do it.

　　看一看在場的聽眾，你們中有一些人將成為中國經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展過程中新的開拓者，在歷史上留下你們的印記。就像美國蘋果公司創(chuàng)始人史蒂夫?喬布斯等人那樣，你們也有這樣的能力和潛力，我相信你們中間的一些人會有這樣的成就。

　　I’m also proud that more than 160 Fortune 500 companies are operating in Chengdu High-tech Zone, including pioneer American businesses like Intel, Dell and Oracle. The U.S.-China relationship has also improved dramatically in the past 30 years. In order to cement this robust partnership, we have to go beyond close ties between Washington and Beijing, which we’re working on every day, go beyond it to include all levels of government, go beyond it to include classrooms and laboratories, athletic fields and boardrooms.

　　我還感到驕傲的是，有160多家《財富》世界500強(qiáng)公司在成都的高新技術(shù)產(chǎn)業(yè)開發(fā)區(qū)開展經(jīng)營活動，包括因特爾、戴爾和甲骨文等開拓性的美國企業(yè)。美中關(guān)系在過去30年中取得了極大的改善。為了鞏固這一堅實(shí)的伙伴關(guān)系，我們必須超越我們每天都在為之努力的華盛頓和北京之間的緊密關(guān)系，將各級政府以及教室和實(shí)驗(yàn)室、體育場和會議室都包括進(jìn)來。

　　That's why we launched our 100,000 Strong Initiative to boost the number of American students studying in China each year and have maintained a robust Peace Corps presence. How many Peace Corps volunteers are here today? Raise your hands. We love you guys. Welcome. Welcome. (Applause.)

　　正是因?yàn)槿绱?，我們發(fā)起了“十萬人留學(xué)中國計劃”，增加每年留學(xué)中國的美國學(xué)生人數(shù)，并保持了相當(dāng)多的和平隊人數(shù)。今天在這里有多少和平隊志愿者?請你們舉手。我們愛你們。歡迎。歡迎。(掌聲)

　　Last year, over 800,000 Chinese and 2 million Americans traveled between our countries to live, work, study and explore new places. On a personal note, I've seen the value of these exchanges through the experiences of my niece, a young woman who learned Mandarin at Harvard and spent a year in Beijing refining her language skills and ultimately worked at our Treasury Department on U.S.-China relations. There are tens of thousands of you like her, who are going to be the key to cement this relationship and deal with misconception and form the relevant societies about the motivations and operations of each of our countries.

　　去年，80多萬中國人和200萬美國人去對方國家生活、工作、學(xué)習(xí)和探索新的地方。就我個人來說，我通過我年輕的外甥女的經(jīng)歷看到了這種交流的價值。她在哈佛大學(xué)學(xué)習(xí)普通話，后又在北京學(xué)習(xí)了一年，提高她的中文語言技能，最后到我國財政部從事美中關(guān)系方面的工作。你們中有成千上萬的人會像她那樣，為鞏固兩國關(guān)系，消除誤解，建立關(guān)于我們兩國的意圖和運(yùn)行的學(xué)社發(fā)揮重要作用。

　　These ties among our people are the life blood of our emerging partnership. The bottom line is this: As great nations and as global actors, the United States and China face many of the same challenges and share many of the same responsibilities. And the more we can work together, the more our people will benefit and -- as I said before it sounds chauvinistic, but the more the world will benefit as a consequence of our cooperation.

　　我們?nèi)嗣裰g的紐帶是我們新興伙伴關(guān)系的生命力。歸根結(jié)底，作為大國和全球要角，美國和中國面臨了許多相同的挑戰(zhàn)，也分擔(dān)了許多同樣的責(zé)任。我們越是互相合作，我們的人民就越能從中受益──我之前說過，這似乎有些沙文主義，但是全世界也能因我們的合作獲得更多的利益。

　　President Obama and I will continue the important work of making this partnership even more positive, cooperative and comprehensive in the coming years. And I hope -- I hope that my visit can serve as a step toward these goals and toward strengthening that bond.

　　奧巴馬總統(tǒng)和我將繼續(xù)從事這項重要事業(yè)，今后使這個伙伴關(guān)系更積極、更合作和更全面。我希望我的訪問能朝著這些目標(biāo)并為加強(qiáng)相互聯(lián)系邁進(jìn)一步。

　　So I thank you all for the honor of being here. More importantly, I thank you for taking the time to listen.

　　我今天很榮幸來到此地，感謝你們大家。更重要的，我謝謝你們花時間聆聽。

　　And with the permission of your president -- they tell me I don't have any time, but I never like to leave a university without at least taking a few questions. So I hope it’s permissible for me to able to take a few questions from the audience. Is that permissible, Mr. President. Is that okay? All, right. Thank you.

　　在得到貴校校長許可的情況下──他們告訴我已經(jīng)沒有時間了，可是我從來不想在沒有至少回答幾個問題之前離開一所大學(xué)。所以我希望能夠讓我回答聽眾的幾個問題。你允許嗎，校長先生?是否可以? 好的。謝謝你。

　　As you can see as Vice President, I’m used to always checking with presidents first. (Laughter.) I’d be happy to take a couple questions. My staff is going to get angry if I take too much time. But, please, there’s microphones in both aisles, I guess. And I -- I can’t see with the light. Gentleman all the way in the back waving both hands. It must be important.

　　你們可以看到，作為副總統(tǒng)，我總是習(xí)慣先向總統(tǒng)(校長)請示。(笑聲。)我很高興回答幾個問題。如果我花太多時間，我的工作人員會生氣的?，F(xiàn)在請?zhí)釂?，我想兩邊走道?yīng)該都有麥克風(fēng)。我──我這里太亮，看不清楚。

　　Q: Good morning, Mr. President [sic]. And I’m a -- student from the medical school of Sichuan University. But my question is about economy first. And as you know that the China holds about class="main">
