奧巴馬訪華演講稿2009.11

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_r_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.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 100000.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.)

第二篇：奧巴馬訪華上海演講

2009年11月16日, 首次訪華的美國總統(tǒng)奧巴馬在上?？萍疾┪镳^與數(shù)百名中國學生對話，在對話前，奧巴馬發(fā)表了演講。以下為奧巴馬演講的中英文對照全文。

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。能夠有機會在上海跟你們大家交談，我深感榮幸。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，不但回答在座的學生提出的問題，同時也回答從網上提出的一些問題，這些問題由在座的一些學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.我們兩國的關系也是如此。毫無疑問，上海在美中關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.在此后的兩個世紀中，歷史洪流使我們兩國關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，他們曾經在那里作戰(zhàn)，幫助中國從占領下獲得解放。

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年建立正式外交關系。請看在此后的30年，我們取得了多么長足的進展。

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，美中貿易額約為50億美元，今天，貿易額已經超過4000億美元。貿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、建設性的、全面的關系，為我們在當今時代的關鍵性全球問題上建立伙伴關系打開了大門，這些問題包括：經濟復蘇和清潔能源開發(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主席會談的內容。

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，我們看到當年乒乓球隊員的好奇心已經化為許多領域的紐帶，中國留學生在美國的人數(shù)名列第二，而在美國學生中，學中文的人數(shù)增加了50%。我們兩國有近200個友好城市，把我們的社區(qū)連接在一起。美中科學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)順利結束的同時，經濟也取得了增長，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?！碑斎唬^去30年中我們也曾遇到挫折和挑戰(zhàn)，我們的關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，相互學習。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我國民主制度的建國綱領所形成。這些綱領中提出了對人類事務的簡單明了的矚望，并包含了一些核心原則——不論男女人人生而平等，都享有某些基本權利；政府應當反映民意，并對人民的愿望作出回應；商貿應該是開放的，信息應該自由流通；司法保障應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、勞工贏得組織權、來自世界各地的移民得到完全的接納——這些都是經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，他們經過不懈努力才最終贏得全面、平等的權利。

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，我們取得了進步，這些原則指引我們沖過了最黑暗的風暴。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_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加給任何別的國家，但是我們也不認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——我們認為這些自由都是普世的權利，所有人都應當享有，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。正是對普世權利的尊重指導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.這些都是你們應當了解的美國的情況。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濟，還贊賞你們在科學研究方面極不平凡的努力——從你們建設的基礎設施到你們使用的技術，均體現(xiàn)出這種努力。中國現(xiàn)在是世界上最大的互聯(lián)網使用國——這也是我們今天很高興能把互聯(lián)網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絡，它正在投資發(fā)展既能維持可持續(xù)增長，又能應對氣候變化的新型能源——我期待著明天在這個至關重要的領域中深化兩國的合作關系。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，權力不應再成為一場零和游戲；一國的成功發(fā)展不應以他國為代價。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 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.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，我們兩國的關系史中也不乏其例。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，我們的商貿活動，我們所學到的知識，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，美國準備將在中國留學的美國學生人數(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。）

奧巴馬訪華胡主席致辭全文

2010-02-21

尊敬的奧巴馬總統(tǒng)，各位記者朋友，女士們，先生們：

很高興和各位記者朋友在這里見面，首先我代表中國政府和人民，對奧巴馬總統(tǒng)來華進行國事訪問表示熱烈歡迎。

剛才我和奧巴馬總統(tǒng)進行了很好的會談，雙方就發(fā)展中美雙邊關系和共同關心的重大國際和地區(qū)問題，深入交換了意見，達成了廣泛共識，會談是坦誠的、建設性的、富有成果的。

我和奧巴馬總統(tǒng)都認為，當前國際形勢繼續(xù)發(fā)生復雜深刻變化，全球性的挑戰(zhàn)不斷增多，世界各國相互依存日益緊密。為此，需要加強國際合作。

在新的形勢下，中美兩國在事關人類和平與發(fā)展的一系列重大問題上，有著廣泛的共同利益和廣闊的發(fā)展空間。

我和奧巴馬總統(tǒng)都積極評價美國新一屆政府就職以來中美關系的發(fā)展，一致同意堅持從戰(zhàn)略的高度和長遠的角度出發(fā)，加強對話、交流、合作，共同努力建設21世界積極合作全面的中美關系。并將采取切實行動，穩(wěn)固建立應對共同挑戰(zhàn)的伙伴關系，為促進世界的和平穩(wěn)定和繁榮而努力。

我們都認為，保持兩國高層的密切交往，和其他各個級別的對話蹉商，對中美關系的發(fā)展至關重要，雙方同意兩國領導人繼續(xù)通過互訪、通話、通信，或在多邊場合會晤等方式，保持密切溝通。

雙方高度評價中美戰(zhàn)略與經濟對話機制在加強兩國互信合作方面發(fā)揮的重要作用，雙方將繼續(xù)落實好今年七月首輪對話的成果，并且盡早著手為明年夏天在北京舉行的第二輪對話作準備。

我們就當前的國際經濟、金融形勢交換了看法，認為當前的世界經濟出現(xiàn)了企穩(wěn)回升的積極跡象，但復蘇的基礎并不牢固。雙方重申將繼續(xù)在宏觀經濟政策領域加強對話和合作，堅持通過平等協(xié)商妥善處理兩國經貿摩擦問題，共同維護雙邊經貿關系健康穩(wěn)定發(fā)展。

我向奧巴馬總統(tǒng)強調，當前形勢下，我們兩國應該有更加堅決的態(tài)度，反對和抵制各種形式的保護主義。

我們都積極評價二十國集團領導人峰會在應對國際金融危機方面發(fā)揮的重要作用，我們兩國將與其他成員一道，全面落實這次峰會的成果，不斷加強二十國集團在全球經濟治理當中的作用，推進國際金融體系改革，完善全球經濟治理，以防范和應對未來的危機。

我們同意擴大兩國在氣侯變化、能源、環(huán)境領域的合作，在共同但有區(qū)別的原則和各自能力的基礎上，同有關各方一道推動哥本哈根大會取得積極成果。

中美兩國的有關部門已簽署中美關于加強氣候變化、能源和環(huán)境合作的諒解備忘備等合作文件，并且正式啟動了中美清潔能源聯(lián)合研究中心。

我和奧巴馬總統(tǒng)都表示，愿意在雙向互利的基礎上，深化兩國反恐、執(zhí)法、科技、航天、民用航空、高速鐵路基礎設施建設、農業(yè)、衛(wèi)生等領域的合作，并繼續(xù)推動兩軍關系取得更大的進展。

我們還就擴大兩國的人文交流，特別是青年交流進行了探討，支持雙方建立人文交流機制，并且加強互派留學生合作。

我們都表示堅持通過對話協(xié)商，解決朝鮮半島核問題。符合包括中美兩國在內的有關各方的共同利益，雙方將同有關各方一道，堅持半島無核化和六方會談進程，維護東北亞和平穩(wěn)定。

我們強調維護國際核不擴散體系，通過對話談判，妥善解決伊朗核問題，對維護中東和海灣地區(qū)的穩(wěn)定十分重要。

在會談中，我向奧巴馬總統(tǒng)強調，中美兩國國情不同，雙方存在一些分歧是正常的，關鍵是要尊重和照顧雙方的核心利益和重大關切。

中方贊賞奧巴馬總統(tǒng)多次重申堅持一個中國政策，遵守中美三個聯(lián)合公報，在臺灣等問題上尊重中國主權和領土完整。

雙方重申互相尊重主權和領導完整這一根本原則，雙方均不支持任何勢力破壞這一原則的任何活動。我們將繼續(xù)本著平等、相互尊重、互不干涉內政的精神，就人權和宗教等問題開展對話交流，以增進了解，減少分歧，擴大共識。

中美關系十分重要，維護和促進中美關系是雙方的共同責任。中方愿意同美方一道，推動中美關系持續(xù)健康穩(wěn)定發(fā)展，以更好地造福世界人民。

第四篇：奧巴馬訪華致辭(中英對照)

[馬朝旭]:現(xiàn)在請奧巴馬總統(tǒng)致辭。

MODERATOR: Now we would like to give the microphone to President Obama.PRESIDENT OBAMA: Good afternoon.I want to start by thanking President Hu and the Chinese people for the warmth and hospitality that they have shown myself and our delegation since we arrived.We had a wonderful day in Shanghai yesterday, a wonderful discussion with China’s young men and women, and I’m looking forward to the conversations we’ll have and the sights that we’ll see here in Beijing over the next two days.奧巴馬總統(tǒng)：下午好。首先我要感謝胡主席和中國人民從我們到來后給予我和代表團的熱情款待。昨天，我們在上海度過了非常愉快的一天，同中國男女青年進行了一次十分愉快的討論。我期待著我們今明兩天將在北京進行的會談和景點參觀。

We meet here at a time when the relationship between the United States and China has never been more important to our collective future.The major challenges of the 21st century, from climate change to nuclear proliferation to economic recovery, are challenges that touch both our nations, and challenges that neither of our nations can solve by acting alone.我們是在美中關系對我們的共同未來具有前所未有的重要性的時刻在這里舉行會晤。21世紀的各項重大挑戰(zhàn)，無論是氣候變化、核擴散還是經濟復蘇，都與我們兩個國家相關，而且哪個國家都不能通過單獨行動來對付這些挑戰(zhàn)。That’s why the United States welcomes China’s efforts in playing a greater role on the world stage--a role in which a growing economy is joined by growing responsibilities.And that’s why President Hu and I talked about continuing to build a positive, cooperative, and comprehensive relationship between our nations.這就是為什么美國歡迎中國努力在世界舞臺上發(fā)揮更大的作用——這個作用意味著伴隨經濟發(fā)展而增長的責任。這也就是為什么胡主席和我都談到要繼續(xù)建立積極合作全面的美中關系。

As President Hu indicated, we discussed what’s required to sustain this economic recovery so that economic growth is followed by the creation of new jobs and lasting prosperity.So far China’s partnership has proved critical in our effort to pull ourselves out of the worst recession in generations.如胡主席所說，我們討論了要使經濟復蘇持續(xù)所必須采取的措施，以便使經濟增長帶來新的就業(yè)機會，實現(xiàn)持久繁榮。迄今，與中國的伙伴關系被證明在我們?yōu)閿[脫幾代人以來最嚴重的衰退所作的努力中至關重要。

Going forward, we agreed to advance the pledge made at the G20 summit in Pittsburgh and pursue a strategy of more balanced economic growth--a strategy where America saves more, spends less, reduces our long-term debt, and where China makes adjustments across a broad range of policies to rebalance its economy and spur domestic demand.This will lead to increased U.S.exports and jobs, on the one hand, and higher living standards in China on the other.展望未來，我們同意推進我們在匹茲堡20國集團峰會上所作的保證，實施經濟更平衡增長的策略。根據這一策略，美國要增加儲蓄，降低消費，減少長期債務，而中國則要進行各項政策調整以平衡經濟，刺激內需。這樣，將一方面增加美國的出口和就業(yè)機會，另一方面提高中國的生活水平。

As President Hu indicated, we also agreed that maintaining open market and free flows of commerce in both our nations will contribute to our shared prosperity.And I was pleased to note the Chinese commitment, made in past statements, to move toward a more market-oriented exchange rate over time.I emphasized in our discussions, and have others in the region, that doing so based on economic fundamentals would make an essential contribution to the global rebalancing effort.如胡主席所說，我們還一致認為，保持我們兩國市場的開放和商貿的自由流通將能增進我們的共同繁榮。我很高興地注意到，中國多次表示了對逐步實現(xiàn)在更大程度上由市場決定匯率的承諾。我在雙方以及在與地區(qū)其他各方的討論中強調，這樣按照基本經濟原理行事將是對全球經濟的重新平衡的重大貢獻。President Hu and I also made progress on the issue of climate change.As the two largest consumers and producers of energy, there can be no solution to this challenge without the efforts of both China and the United States.That’s why we’ve agreed to a series of important new initiatives in this area.As President Hu indicated, we are creating a joint clean energy research center, and have achieved agreements on energy efficiency, renewable energy, cleaner uses of coal, electric vehicles, and shale gas.胡主席和我在氣候變化問題上也取得了進展。作為能源的最大消費國和生產國，沒有中美兩國的共同努力就無法成功地應對這一挑戰(zhàn)。因此我們同意在這一領域采取一系列新的重要行動。胡主席已說明，我們將設立一個清潔能源聯(lián)合研究中心，我們還就能效、可再生能源、清潔使用煤炭、電動車輛和頁巖氣等問題達成一致。We also agreed to work toward a successful outcome in Copenhagen.Our aim there, in support of what Prime Minister Rasmussen of Denmark is trying to achieve, is not a partial accord or a political declaration, but rather an accord that covers all of the issues in the negotiations, and one that has immediate operational effect.This kind of comprehensive agreement would be an important step forward in the effort to rally the world around a solution to our climate challenge.And we agreed that each of us would take significant mitigation actions and stand behind these commitments.我們還同意為哥本哈根會議取得成果而努力。為支持丹麥首相拉斯穆森（Rasmussen）所爭取實現(xiàn)的目標，我們將不是致力于一項局部性的協(xié)議，也不是一份政治宣言，而是一項包含談判涉及的所有問題的協(xié)議，一項可立即運作的協(xié)議。這樣的全面協(xié)議將使動員全世界共同應對氣候挑戰(zhàn)的努力向前跨出重要一步。我們同意，雙方都將采取重大的減緩行動，堅定地履行這些承諾。On the issue of nonproliferation, President Hu and I discussed our shared commitment to stop the spread of nuclear weapons, and I told him how appreciative I am of China’s support for the global nonproliferation regime as well as the verifiable elimination of North Korea’s nuclear weapons program.在防擴散問題上，胡主席和我討論了制止核武器擴散的共同承諾，我向胡主席表示了我對中國支持全球防擴散制度和可驗證地消除北韓核武器項目的極大贊賞。

We agreed on the importance of resuming the six-party talks as soon as possible.As I said in Tokyo, North Korea has a choice: It can continue down the path of confrontation and provocation that has led to less security, less prosperity, and more isolation from the global community, or it can choose to become a full member of the international community, which will give a better life to its people by living up to international obligations and foregoing nuclear weapons.我們一致認為盡快恢復六方會談是重要的。正如我在東京說過的，北韓面臨一個選擇：它可以繼續(xù)沿著對峙挑釁的道路走下去，結果只會是安全更少，繁榮更小，在全球社會中更加孤立；它也可以選擇成為國際社會的正式成員，恪守國際義務，放棄核武器，讓自己的人民過上更好的生活。

In the same way, we agreed that the Islamic Republic of Iran must provide assurances to the international community that its nuclear program is peaceful and transparent.On this point, our two nations and the rest of our P5-plus-1 partners are unified.Iran has an opportunity to present and demonstrate its peaceful intentions, but if it fails to take this opportunity there will be consequences.同樣地，我們也一致認為伊朗伊斯蘭共和國必須向國際社會提供保證，保證其核項目是和平而且透明的。在這一點上，我們兩國和五常加一的其他伙伴國意見一致。伊朗有此機會展示和表明其和平的目的，但如果它沒能利用這次機會，則將面臨后果。

President Hu and I also discussed our mutual interest in security and stability of Afghanistan and Pakistan.And neither country can or should be used as a base for terrorism, and we agreed to cooperate more on meeting this goal, including bringing about more stable, peaceful relations in all of South Asia.胡錦濤主席和我還討論了我們對阿富汗和巴基斯坦的安全和穩(wěn)定的共同利益。這兩個國家都不能也不應該成為恐怖分子的基地。我們同意為達到這個目標加深合作，包括在整個南亞建設更穩(wěn)定、和平的關系。

Finally, as I did yesterday in Shanghai, I spoke to President Hu about America’s bedrock beliefs that all men and women possess certain fundamental human rights.We do not believe these principles are unique to America, but rather they are universal rights and that they should be available to all peoples, to all ethnic and religious minorities.And our two countries agreed to continue to move this discussion forward in a human rights dialogue that is scheduled for early next year.最后，如同我昨天在上海時一樣，我向胡錦濤主席談了美國的基本信念，即人人都有某些最基本的人權。我們不認為這些原則是美國特有的，它們是普遍的權利。各國人民，各個少數(shù)民族和宗教少數(shù)派都應該享有。我們兩國同意在定于明年年初舉行的人權對話中繼續(xù)推動這種討論。

As President Hu indicated, the United States respects the sovereignty and territorial integrity of China.And once again, we have reaffirmed our strong commitment to a one-China policy.正如胡錦濤主席指出的那樣，美國尊重中國的主權和領土完整。我們再次重申對一個中國政策的承諾。

We did note that while we recognize that Tibet is part of the People’s Republic of China, the United States supports the early resumption of dialogue between the Chinese government and representatives of the Dalai Lama to resolve any concerns and differences that the two sides may have.We also applauded the steps that the People’s Republic of China and Taiwan have already taken to relax tensions and build ties across the Taiwan Strait.我們的確指出，盡管我們承認西藏是中華人民共和國的一部分，但美國支持中國政府與**喇嘛的代表早日恢復對話，以解決雙方存在的擔憂和分歧。我們也對中華人民共和國和臺灣已經采取的緩和緊張局勢和建立海峽兩岸聯(lián)系的步驟表示贊賞。

Our own policy, based on the three U.S.-China communiqués and the Taiwan Relations Act, supports the further development of these ties--ties that are in the interest of both sides, as well as the broader region and the United States.基于美中三個聯(lián)合公報和《臺灣關系法》，我們自身的政策是支持繼續(xù)發(fā)展這些關系——這些關系有利于雙方，有利于更廣大的地區(qū)和美國。

These are just some of the issues that President Hu and I discussed.But we also know that the relationship between our two nations goes far beyond any single issue.In this young century, the jobs we do, the prosperity we build, the environment we protect, the security that we seek, all these things are shared.這些只是胡錦濤主席和我討論的問題的一部分。但是，我們也知道，我們兩國的關系遠遠超出任何單一問題。置身這個世紀的初期，我們所做的工作，所創(chuàng)建的繁榮，所保護的環(huán)境，所尋求的安全——所有這一切都是共同分享的。Given that interconnection, I do not believe that one country’s success must come at the expense of another.That’s why the United States welcomes China as a strong, prosperous and successful member of the community of nations.鑒于這種相互關聯(lián)，我不認為一個國家的成功必須以犧牲另一個國家的利益為代價。這就是為什么美國歡迎中國成為國際社會中一個強大、繁榮和成功的成員。

Our relationship going forward will not be without disagreement or difficulty.But because of our cooperation, both the United States and China are more prosperous and secure.We’ve seen what’s possible when we build upon our mutual interests and engage on the basis of equality and mutual respect.And I very much look forward to deepening that engagement and understanding during this trip and in the months and years to come.我們未來的關系不會沒有分歧和困難。但由于我們的合作，美國和中國都更繁榮、更安全。我們已經看到，當我們在互利的基礎上發(fā)展、在平等和相互尊重的基礎上往來時能夠取得什么樣的成果。我非常期待在這次訪問中和在未來的歲月里，加深這種交往和理解。

[馬朝旭]:中美兩國元首共同會見記者結束。謝謝大家。

MODERATOR: This concludes the meeting with the news media.Thank you.

奧巴馬訪華復旦大學演講稿英漢對照全文

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 remarks, 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 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,

taking some questions from all of you.Thank you very much.(Applause.)奧巴馬訪華在復旦演講稿英漢對照全文 美國總統(tǒng)奧巴馬在上海與中國青年對話”演講全文 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。我還想感謝我們精彩的大使洪博培，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。

我今天預備這樣，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。很抱歉，我的中文遠不如你們的英文，所以我期待和你們的對話。這是我首次訪問中國，我看到你們博大的國家，感到很高興。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，讓我感到驚嘆。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宏偉壯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。

而我們兩國的關系也是如此，上海在美中關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。

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，與中國結成新的紐帶。希望中國開辟新的地平線，建立新的伙伴關系。在其后的兩個世紀中，歷史洪流使我們兩國關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?shù)厝嗣駥λ麄兊目畲袊衩爸ヒ磺械奈ｋU罩著他們。而參加二戰(zhàn)的老兵仍舊歡迎故地重游的美國老兵，他們在那里參戰(zhàn)。40年前，我們兩國間開啟了又一種聯(lián)系，兩國關系開始解凍，通過乒乓球的比賽解凍關系。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年美中貿易只有50億美元，現(xiàn)在已經超過了4000億美元。

貿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，我們向中國出口中國工業(yè)要使用的機器，這種貿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量更高的生活。

在需求趨于平衡的過程中，這種貿易可以是更廣闊的貿易。如今我們有著積極合作和全面的關系，為我們在當前重大的全球問題上建立伙伴關系打開了大門，這些問題包括經濟復蘇、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與胡主席會談時都會談到。1979年的時候，我們兩國人民的聯(lián)系十分有限，如今當年乒乓球運動員的好奇可以在許多領域建立的聯(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域和發(fā)現(xiàn)領域進行合作，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。那么我們兩國之間的這種關系給我們帶來了積極的變化，這并不是偶爾的，中國使得億萬人民脫貧，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濟的成長。中國有句古言，溫故而知新。當然，我們過去30年中也碰到了挫折和挑戰(zhàn)，我們的關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榮、更加安全。我們基于相互的利益、相互的尊重就能有成就。

不過，這種接觸的成功要取決于我們要彼此了解，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。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，我有一個非常簡樸的向往，代表了一些核心的原則，就是所有的人生來平等，都有著基本的權利，而政府應當反映人們的意志，貿易應該是開放的，信息流通應當是自由的，而法律要保證這個公平。

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戰(zhàn)，把一部分我們被奴役的人口釋放出來，經過一段時間才能使婦女有投票權，勞工有組織權，包括來自各地的移民能夠全部被接受。即使他們被解放以后，非洲裔美國人也和美國人經過一些分開的、不平等的條件，經過一段時間才爭取到全面的平等權利，所有這些是不輕易的。但是我們對這些核心原則的信念我們取得的進展，在最黑暗的風暴當中是作為我們的指南針。

這是為什么林肯在內戰(zhàn)期間站起來說過，任何一個國家以自由、以所有人類平等的原則能夠長久的存在，也就是為什么金博士在林肯紀念館的前臺站起來，說我們國家要必須真正的實現(xiàn)我們的信念。也就是為什么來自中國或者肯尼亞的移民能夠到我們的家，也是為什么一個不到50年前以前在某些地方連投票都遇到困難的人，現(xiàn)在就能夠做到那個國家的總統(tǒng)。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，我們認為這些是普世的權利，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。

所有這些都是你們知道關于美國的一些情況，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。雖然中國是一個古老的國家，你們也是布滿信心展望未來，致力于下一代能夠比這一代做的更好，除了你們不斷增長的經濟之外，我們很配合中國在科學和研究方面所投入的力量，包括建設的基礎設施和使用的技術，中國是世界上使用互聯(lián)網技術最多的國家，這就是我們很興奮互聯(lián)網是今天活動的一部分，這個國家也擁有最大的機動電話網絡，對新的投資保持繼承增長，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。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。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。

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，我們所研究的內容，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，這就是我為什么非常高興我們要大大的公布我們到中國學習的留學生人數(shù)，要增加到10萬人。這樣交流就會表現(xiàn)出我們是愿意致力于加強兩國人民的聯(lián)系，而且我是絕對有信心。對美國來說，最好的大使、最好的使者就是年輕人，他們和你們一樣，很有才能，充滿活力，對未來的歷史還是很樂觀的，這是我們合作的下一步，惠及兩國和全世界。

今天可以吸收的一個最重要的內容就是我們不斷地向前推進。非常感謝。現(xiàn)在歡迎各位提問題。
