Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton at U.S.-China People-to-People Engagement Ceremony National Performing Arts Center

Beijing, China May 25, 2010 國務卿克林頓在慶祝美中人文交流活動上的講話

中國北京國家大劇院 2010年5月25日

SECRETARY CLINTON: I am delighted to join State Councilor Liu and Vice Minister Hao Ping at this magnificent national center for the performing arts.It is a personal pleasure for me to be here with all of you for the launching of this very important U.S.-China high-level consultation on people-to-people exchange.國務卿克林頓：我很高興地與國務委員劉延東和副部長郝平相聚在國家大劇院這一輝煌的中心。能與各位出席啟動這個極其重要的美中人文交流高層磋商機制的活動，我感到由衷的高興。

I am pleased to announce it will be accompanied today by a delegation of distinguished Americans who are committed to expanding citizens’ engagement between our countries.And our effort will be coordinated by Under Secretary Judith McHale in the months ahead with a broad range of officials throughout our government who are here in Beijing for the second round of the U.S.-China strategic and economic dialogue.This is the premier convening mechanism for building cooperation between our two governments.我榮幸地宣布，出席今天活動的還有一個杰出的美國代表團，他們致力于壯大我們兩國之間的公民交流。我們的努力在今后數月內將由副國務卿朱迪思·麥克黑爾（Judith McHale）負責與我國政府各機構的官員進行廣泛協調，他們正在北京參加第二輪美中戰略與經濟對話。這是我們兩國政府發展合作的首要會議召集機制。

This relationship, however, must extend beyond the halls of governments to our homes, businesses, and schools.We need Chinese and Americans of all ages, professions, and(inaudible)to get to know one another, to understand each other better, to connect and collaborate.不過，這一關系必須超越政府機構，走向我們的家庭、公司和學校。我們需要中美兩國各年齡層、各行業的公民相互認識，加深了解，進行聯系和協作。In his speech on Monday, President Hu Jintao spoke about how important this is to both our countries.What we call people-to-people diplomacy has taken on greater significance, as our world has grown more interdependent, and our challenges more complex.Government alone cannot solve the problems that we face.And as State Councilor Liu said, we have to tap in to the challenge of our people, their creative and innovation, and their ability to forge lasting relationships that build trust and understanding.胡錦濤主席在星期一的講話中談到這對我們兩國關系的重要意義。隨著我們的世界日益互為依存，我們的挑戰更趨復雜，我們所稱之的民間外交已發揮了更大的作用。僅靠政府是不能解決我們所面臨的問題的。正如劉委員所指出的，我們必須積極解決我們人民所面臨的挑戰，并鼓勵他們發揮其發明創造力及其營造有利于建立信任和理解的關系的能力。

It is exciting for me to see so many of you here today from both China and the United States who are committed to this relationship.As I was coming in, I met some of the leading Chinese Olympic athletes whom I have watched over the years and admired.我欣慰地看到今天來自中方和美方的各位代表中有許多人致力于這一關系。就在我入場時，我遇到中國一些優秀的奧運選手，他們是我近年來在電視上見過并感到欽佩的對象。

And we have students from both of our countries represented here, tens of thousands of Chinese and American young people studying in each other’s country each year.We want to see those numbers rise.President Obama has announced a goal of sending 100,000 American students to China in the next 4 years to learn Mandarin and experience the hospitality of the Chinese people.We call it 100,000 Strong, and we are grateful for the support that the Government of China has shown for this project.And I especially want to thank Madam Liu for her leadership in this effort.It was just about a year ago that she and I first met to discuss the importance of people-to-people exchanges.And here we are today, announcing a significant commitment.今天出席活動的還有來自我們兩國的學生，如今每年有成千上萬的美國和中國年輕人到對方國家求學。我們希望看到有更多的人參與。奧巴馬總統已宣布將在今后4年時間內向中國派出10萬美國學生在華學習漢語，并體驗中國人民的熱情好客。我們稱之為“十萬人”行動計劃，我們對中國政府為該項目提供支持表示感謝。我尤其要感謝劉女士為這一努力所發揮的領導作用。大約一年以前，她和我首次會面討論民間交流的重要意義。而今天，我們要在這里宣布一項重大的承諾。

A few minutes ago Madam Liu and I met with several American exchange students, including: a high school student who is living with a host family here in Beijing, a college student who has performed with the Beijing Music Ensemble, and a doctoral student doing research in renewable energy education.幾分鐘前，劉女士與我見到了幾位美國交換學生，他們包括一名與北京接待家庭共同生活的中學生，一名曾與北京樂團同臺演出的大學生，以及一名正在從事可再生能源教育研究的博士生。

A few days ago I visited the Shanghai Expo and met the young American student ambassadors who had already welcomed more than 700,000 visitors to the USA Pavilion.They have all studied Mandarin.And they come from cities and towns across the United States.They will return home having shared the experience of being part of the Expo, and meeting people from all over China and the world.Many more American and Chinese students want and deserve similar opportunities, and I applaud the announcement today that there will be 10,000 Chinese students supported to get their Ph.D.’s in the United States.幾天前，我參觀了上海世博會。我與已經在美國館接待了70多萬參觀者的年輕美國學生大使們見了面。他們都學過漢語，來自全美各城市和鄉鎮。他們回國的時候，將擁有自己與世博會密不可分的體驗，以及接待來自全中國和全世界的參觀者的經歷。還有更多的美國和中國學生想要獲得、也應該獲得同樣的機會，我為今天發布的消息感到高興：我們將支持一萬名中國學生在美國取得博士學位。China has established dozens of Confucius institutes across the United States that offer Chinese language instruction and cultural programs to help Americans better understand China.We would like to see similar American language and culture centers on the campuses of Chinese universities.I understand that a proposal between an American university and a Chinese partner for an American study institute is now under review.And we hope the Chinese Government will support this proposal and others like it, paving the way for an even more vibrant exchange of language and culture.中國已在美國各地建立了幾十所孔子學院（Confucius institutes），這些學院提供中文教育與文化項目以幫助美國人更好地了解中國。我很想看到同樣的美國語言和文化中心出現在中國大學的校園內。我聽說一項由美國的一所大學與中國伙伴合辦一個美國研究所的建議正在接受審批。我希望中國政府會支持這項建議和類似的其他建議，為更加活躍的語言文化交流鋪平道路。

The U.S.-China Fulbright program, one of the largest in the world, and represented here by some of the Fulbright scholars, has helped 2,500 Americans and Chinese students and scholars study, teach, and conduct research at each others’ universities.The U.S.-China Friendship volunteers teach English in four provinces in China.And we would like to broaden their support for English language instruction in China, including county-level teacher training, smaller cities and colleges, and additional provinces.美中富布賴特項目（U.S.-China Fulbright program）是世界上最大的交流項目之一，今天在座的有一些富布賴特學者的代表。它已資助2,500名美國與中國的學生和學者在對方的大學內學習、教課和從事研究。美中友誼志愿者（U.S.-China Friendship Volunteers）在中國的四個省份教授英語。我們希望擴大他們對中國英語教學的支援，其中包括縣一級的教師培訓、更小型城市和大學以及更多省份的英語教學。

These opportunities provide new perspectives on this fast-changing world that we both share.And they remind us of how much we have in common.Despite our differences and the distance between us, we share common aspirations.And I believe the more we talk and learn from each other, the greater our chances of making progress together.這些機會提供了觀察我們共處的這個瞬息萬變的世界的新視角，提醒我們看到彼此有許許多多相同的地方。盡管我們之間存在差異和距離，但我們都有共同的愿景。我深信我們彼此交談和相互學習得越多，我們取得進步的機會也就越大。And education is just the beginning.Professional, creative, scientific, and cultural exchanges also hold great potential.Sesame Workshop, a non-profit organization that produces Sesame Street, an educational television program beloved by generations of American children, recently formed a partnership to produce children's educational programming in China.Tulane University in New Orleans has partnered with east China's(inaudible)university in Shanghai, to trade(inaudible)in disaster response and wetland management.And the Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra recently(inaudible)famous 1973 visit to China, playing at both the Shanghai Expo and here, at the Center.教育方面的交流只是開始而已。專業的、創新的、科技與文化的交流也具有巨大的潛力。“芝麻街工作室”（Sesame Workshop）是一個制作受到一代又一代美國兒童喜愛的芝麻街（Sesame Street）教育性電視節目的非營利組織，它最近建立了一種伙伴關系，專門制作中國的兒童教育節目。新奧爾良的杜蘭大學（Tulane University）已與在上海的華東[聽不清楚]大學結成伙伴關系，在救災反應和濕地管理方面交換[聽不清楚]。費城交響樂團（Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra）繼1973年著名的訪華演出之后于最近[聽不清楚]分別在上海世博會和這座國家大劇院演出。

To bring together women to the public and private sectors I have discussed a proposal with Madame Liu for a U.S.-China women's leaders forum.And the relationship between our two countries will change the 21st century.We want it to be a positive, cooperative, and comprehensive relationship.We want it to be based on our people-to-people outreach and understanding.Our people represent our greatest resource in both of our countries.And encouraging their mutual engagement will better ensure that the United States and China make the most of this exciting time in our shared history.為了讓婦女參與政府和民間活動，我與劉女士討論了一項美中婦女領導人論壇的建議。我們兩國的關系將改變21世紀。我們希望它是一種積極、合作、全面的關系。我們希望它基于我們的人文交流與理解的機制。我們的人民代表著我們兩國最大的財富。鼓勵他們互相交往將進一步確保美國與中國緊緊抓住我們共享的這一激動人心的歷史時刻。Thank you very much.(Applause.)謝謝大家。（掌聲）

Department of State

美國國務卿克林頓在美中生態伙伴關系協定簽署儀式上的講話

2011年5月10日 美國國務院條約廳

Well, I am delighted to welcome you to the Treaty Room this morning for such a special occasion.I especially want to thank our Chinese guests who have flown here to be part of the third Strategic and Economic Dialogue.Minister XieZhenhua and Director General Ma Xin as well as all the other Chinese colleagues are most welcome.And of course, I want to welcome all of our American eco-partners who have also come from across our country to sign these landmark agreements.I want to thank Assistant Secretary Kerri-Ann Jones and Special Envoy for Climate Change Todd Stern and our Special Representative for Governmental Interactions Rita Jo Lewis.我非常高興地歡迎你們今天上午來到條約廳出席這樣一個具有特殊意義的儀式。我特別要感謝遠道而來參加第三輪戰略與經濟對話的中國客人，非常歡迎解振華主任、馬欣司長和其他中方同事們。當然，我也要歡迎從美國各地來到這里簽署這些具有里程碑意義的協定的所有美國生態伙伴們，我還要感謝助理國務卿凱里·安·瓊斯、美國氣候變化特使托德·斯特恩和我們的政府間互動特別代表麗塔·喬·劉易斯。

We are very committed to this relationship, and we know it needs to expand beyond the government-to-government conversations.We need to harness the unique skills of both of our cities, our states, our universities, our private companies, our civil societies to find solutions to common problems.That is especially true when it comes to clean energy, energy security, environmental stability, and climate change.Both of our countries have companies that are developing new and exciting technologies, universities that are doing groundbreaking research, and local governments that have unique perspectives on the community environmental issues they face which can have a global impact.我們堅定不移地發展這一關系，我們也知道，這一關系需要擴大并超越政府間對話的范疇，我們必須利用我們兩國各州/省、城市、大學、私營企業和公民社會組織的獨特技能，針對我們共同面臨的問題找出解決辦法。當我們在處理清潔能源、能源安全、環境穩定和氣候變化等問題時尤其是這樣。我們兩國都有公司企業在努力開發激動人心的新技術，都有大學正在進行開創性的研究，都有對于它們面臨的社區環境問題具有獨特視角的地方政府，而這些問題可能具有全球性影響。

This EcoPartnership program was founded to bring these groups together to share best practices, foster innovation, and encourage sustainable development.Already, the original group of seven eco-partners has generated results, and today, we are admitting six new groups of exciting and promising partners to the list.All of these collaborations have the potential to help us solve some of our most profound environmental challenges and, at the same time, create new jobs in both of our countries.I am confident that these new collaborations will yield innovative solutions, and I look forward to learning more about the results of your work.When it comes to the green economy, local partnerships can have a global impact.建立該生態伙伴關系項目的目的就是要把上述各方匯聚到一起，分享最佳做法、促進創新、鼓勵可持續發展。該項目初創時的7個生態合作伙伴現在已經獲得了許多成果，今天，我們要吸收6個令人鼓舞、很有發展前途的新團體加入該項目，所有這些協作項目都有望幫助我們解決我們目前面臨的一些影響最為深遠的環境問題，同時在我們兩國創造就業機會。我相信，這些新的協作將產生創新的解決辦法，我期待著獲知更多有關你們的工作成果的信息。在綠色經濟這一領域，地方伙伴關系可能發揮全球性影響。

Let me now introduce Assistant Secretary Kerri-Ann Jones, and again, thank you all for being part of this exciting venture.現在請助理國務卿凱里·安·瓊斯講話，我再一次感謝各位參與這一振奮人心的事業。

第三篇：美國國務卿克林頓2010年三八國際婦女節講話

March 8th is International Women’s Day—a day to reflect on the progress the world has made in advancing women’s rights and to recognize what work remains to be done.三月八日是國際婦女節。在這個日子，我們回顧全世界在促進婦女權利方面取得的進展，并確定有待完成的工作。

This year marks an anniversary very close to my heart.Fifteen years ago, along with women and men from around the world I attended the United Nations Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing.The message from that conference rang loudly and clearly, and still echoes across cultures and continents: Human rights are women’s rights, and women’s rights are human rights.今年的三八國際婦女節是一個是我倍感親切的周年紀念日。15年前，我與來自全世界的男女代表一起出席了在北京召開的聯合國第四屆世界婦女大會。那次會議發出了一個明確無誤的最強音，至今仍在各種文化中和各大洲發出回響：人權即是婦女的權利，婦女的權利即是人權。

One hundred and eighty-nine countries represented at Beijing adopted a Platform for Action that pledged to increase women’s access to education, healthcare, jobs, and credit, and to protect their right to live free from violence.We have made great progress, but there is a long way to go.Women are still the majority of the world’s poor, unhealthy, underfed, and uneducated.They rarely cause violent conflicts but too often bear their consequences.Women are absent from negotiations about peace and security to end those conflicts.Their voices simply are not being heard.在北京出席會議的189個國家的代表通過了一項《行動綱領》，保證要增加婦女獲得教育、醫療、就業和信貸的機會，并保護她們在生活中免遭暴力的權利。我們已經取得巨大的進展，但仍然有很長的路要走。在世界上的貧窮、患病、挨餓和未受過教育人群中，婦女仍然占大多數。她們中很少有人引起暴力沖突，但卻經常承擔暴力沖突帶來的各種后果。在為結束這些沖突而舉行的有關和平與安全問題的各種協商中，沒有婦女參加。沒有人聽取她們的意見。

Today, the United States is making women a cornerstone of foreign policy because we think it’s the right thing to do, but we also believe it’s the smart thing to do as well.Investing in the potential of the world’s women and girls is one of the surest ways to achieve global economic progress, political stability, and greater prosperity for women — and men — the world over.今天，美國正在把婦女工作作為外交政策的基石，因為我們認為這是正確之舉，但我們同時也認為這是智慧之舉。通過投資發揮世界女性的潛力是實現全球經濟發展、政治穩定和全世界婦女及男性帶來更大繁榮的最有保障的方式之一。

So on this International Women’s Day, let us rededicate ourselves to advancing and protecting the rights of women and girls, and to join together to ensure that no one is left behind in the 21st century.因此，值此國際婦女節之際，讓我們繼續獻身于促進與保護婦女和女童的權利，團結一致，以確保在21世紀沒有任何人掉隊。

第四篇：克林頓國務卿在美中貿易全國委員會晚宴的講話

克林頓國務卿在美中貿易全國委員會晚宴的講話

Thank you so much, Carla, and thanks for your leadership in this undertaking as well as so much else.It’s wonderful to be here at the end of two very busy and productive days of the Strategic and Economic Dialogue.Secretary Geithner and I were privileged to co-lead this effort, and we were especially pleased that Vice Premier Wang and State Councilor Dai were our counterparts.We believe that these very productive conversations have helped to lay the foundation for what both President Obama and President Hu called a positive, cooperative, and comprehensive U.S.-Chinese relationship for the 21st century.非常感謝，卡拉，謝謝你在這項事業和其他眾多事務中發揮的領導作用。能在美中戰略與經濟對話（Strategic and Economic Dialogue）繁忙而富有成果的兩天會議結束后來到這里出席晚宴真是令人愉快。蓋特納（Geithner）部長和我十分榮幸地共同主持這一對話，同時，我們也為有王岐山副總理和戴秉國國務委員與我們共同主持對話而感到特別高興。我們認為，這些極富成果的討論有助于為發展奧巴馬總統和胡錦濤主席所說的21世紀積極合作全面的美中關系奠定基礎。

As part of this process, we are enlisting the full range of talent within our governments to tackle problems that spill over not just borders and oceans, but also traditional bureaucratic boundaries, which are sometimes the hardest to overcome, from climate change to trade and investment to poverty and disease.作為這一進程的一部分，我們充分調動了兩國政府內部各方面的杰出人才，以便解決氣候變化、貿易投資、貧困與疾病及其他各類棘手問題，這些問題不僅超越各國的國境和海域，也超越了政府各部門之間的傳統界線，而這種界線有時最難克服。

Just as no nation today can solve the challenges we face alone, neither can government work in isolation.The issues are just are too varied and complex for that.So engaging the expertise, the experience, and the energy of those outside government – including the private sector, and all of you here tonight – is vital to our future progress.正如今天沒有任何一個國家有能力獨自應對我們面臨的各種挑戰，政府也不能孤立運作，因為需要解決的問題紛繁而復雜。因此，鼓勵政府部門以外的人才——包括民營部門的人才和今晚在場的各位——參與，利用他們的專業知識、經驗與精力，對取得未來的進展至關重要。

I also am delighted that we are going to have very soon a new ambassador from the United States to China.Governor Huntsman, who will soon be – maybe even confirmed tonight – Ambassador Huntsman, is looking forward to working not only on behalf of our nation’s policies but really representing the American people to the Chinese people.我也為我們即將有一位新任美國駐華大使而感到高興。亨茨曼（Huntsman，中文名洪博培）州長，他很快——或許今晚就會被確認——亨茨曼大使不僅期待著為執行我國的政策而工作，而且期待著作為美國人民的代表與中國人民交往。

We want the entrepreneurs and the innovators in both of our countries to know that we’re behind their dreams and their efforts.We want people who are working to solve problems in research labs and on the front lines of innovation to know that we’re looking to support their efforts.Because we think public-private partnerships are a centerpiece of the important work that we are doing to build understanding and create new avenues of cooperation.我們希望美中兩國的企業家和創新者們知道我們支持他們的夢想和努力。我們希望在實驗室里努力解決問題的科研人員和工作在創新第一線的人們知道我們一心要支持他們的努力，因為我們認為政府和民間結成的伙伴關系是我們為建立相互了解、開辟新的合作途徑所從事的重要工作的核心內容。

Now, I understand that Vice Premier Wang said a few words to you about the Shanghai Expo.(Laughter.)And I want to reinforce his message.The theme for the Expo, ―Better City – Better Life,‖ will present a vision of a sustainable, healthy, and prosperous world in the 21st century.It’s anticipated that more than 70 million people will visit and more than 190 nations will participate.Six months ago, it wasn’t at all clear that the United States would be one of those 190 nations, but thanks to a number of you, we are on track to be able to do so.And I salute Vice Premier Wang for his leadership.He was, as some of you know, the chair of the committee for the Beijing Olympics, so if that is any indication of his organizational acuity, I think we can look forward to a very successful Shanghai Expo.我明白王岐山副總理剛才就上海世博會（Shanghai Expo）向你們說了幾句話。（笑聲）我想加強他要傳達的信息。上海世博會的主題，―城市，讓生活更美好‖（Better City——Better Life），將展現21世紀一個可持續的、健康、繁榮世界的愿景。預期上海世博會將吸引7000多萬人參觀，190多個國家參展。6個月前，還完全不清楚美國是否會成為這190個國家中的一個。但由于你們中間一些人的努力，我們將能按期參展。我要向王副總理的領導能力致敬。你們中間有些人知道，他是北京奧運會籌委會主席，如果這能表明他的高度組織能力的話，我認為我們可以期待上海世博會取得圓滿成功。

And the U.S.National Pavilion will be informative, educational, and interactive, showcasing American ingenuity, looking at how we can address together global challenges like climate change and clean energy, sustainable agriculture, mass transit, health, and economic development.We are delighted that a number of leading American companies such as GE and Pepsico, Chevron, Marriott, Corning, and others have signed on to be part of putting together this visionary pavilion that will showcase much of what is best about our country.There is, actually, a model of the Pavilion somewhere around here that I urge you to take a look at.This is shameless, I know, but that’s part of the job.(Laughter.)

美國國家館將具有知識性、教育性和互動性，展示美國的獨創力，并展望我們如何共同應對氣候變化和清潔能源、農業可持續發展、公共交通、健康和經濟發展等全球性挑戰。我們高興地看到通用電氣公司、百事公司、雪佛龍公司、萬豪酒店集團、康寧公司及其他美國大公司已經參與建成這個反映未來遠景的展廳的努力，以展示我國的一些精華。而且，這附近就有一個美國館的模型，我希望你們都去看看。我知道這有點厚臉皮，但這是我工作的一部分。（笑聲）

We have formally signed a Participation Contract.We have a U.S.Commissioner General, Jose Villarreal.My Special Representative for Global Partnerships, Elizabeth Bagley, Ambassador Bagley, is here.We have now raised more than half the funds needed to begin construction.I have told both the Vice Premier and the State Councilor that, if necessary, I will personally build it in order to get it ready by the May opening.(Laughter.)Commerce Secretary Gary Locke recently traveled to Shanghai for the Pavilion’s groundbreaking ceremony.我們已經正式簽署參展合同。我們有一位美國展區總代表（U.S.Commissioner General），名叫費樂友（Jose Villarreal）。我任命的負責全球伙伴關系事務的特別代表（Special Representative for Global Partnerships）伊麗莎白·巴格利（Elizabeth Bagley）大使今天在座。我們現已籌集到開工建館所需資金的一半以上。我已經告訴副總理和國務委員，如果有必要，我本人將親自參加施工，以確保在五月份開幕前完工。（笑聲）商務部長駱家輝（Gary Locke）剛剛到上海出席了美國館的奠基儀式。

So we are on task, as they say.And Ambassador Bagley, along with her deputy, Special Representative Kris Balderston, are here tonight, obviously more than willing to answer any questions.因此，如他們所言，我們正在完成任務。巴格利大使和她的副手，特別代表克里斯·鮑爾德斯頓（Kris Balderston）今晚都在座，他們顯然非常樂意回答任何問題。

Now, I mention this at some length because we feel very strongly that this partnership between China and the United States for the 21st century needs to be manifest in visible ways.Secretary Geithner, at the conclusion of his discussions with the Vice Premier, announced some very positive findings and commitments of moving forward on our economic recovery efforts.State Councilor Dai and I discussed, literally, every part of the world and have a very good understanding of how we can continue to work together.我之所以比較詳盡地談到這些問題，是因為我們非常強烈地感到中國和美國在21世紀的這種伙伴關系應當以看得見的方式得到體現。蓋特納部長在結束同副總理的磋商時宣布了一些能夠推動我們的經濟復蘇努力的非常積極的結論和承諾。戴秉國國務委員和我進行的磋商涉及全世界幾乎所有地區，我們對于如何繼續共同努力有著很好的認識。

But this is all about the future.And I’ve told this story before, but I want to end before I have the great privilege of introducing the next speaker.State Councilor Dai and I had a wonderful, relaxing social dinner Sunday night at the Blair House, a very small dinner where we spent time just talking about everything and getting to know each other better.It wasn’t about the business of two great countries trying to determine the best way forward for our people and the world, but it touched on what is important.但這些都是關于未來的事情。我以前已經講過這個故事，但我要在有幸介紹下一位演講者之前把它講完。星期天晚上，戴國務委員與我在布萊爾賓館（Blair House）出席一個十分美好和輕松愉快的社交晚宴。這是一場規模很小的晚宴，我們交談的話題可謂天南地北，無所不包，彼此加深了了解。我們談的不是兩個偉大國家的公務——如何努力為兩國人民和全世界決定今后走哪條最好的道路，但卻關系到一件十分重要的事情。

And what is important is that Councilor Dai had just had a new grandson.And he told me with that wonderful smile that lights up his face, and we were thinking about the significance of what we were to embark on for the last two days.And I suggested that before every meeting we bring pictures of our children and our grandchildren, because truly, that is what this work is all about.That is what should guide us and inspire us and chasten us with respect to the decisions that we make.So that is going to certainly be a principle of participation and commitment that Councilor Dai and I intend to pursue.這件十分重要的事情是：戴國務委員剛剛得了一個孫子。他跟我講起這件事的時候，臉上綻開燦爛的笑容。我們當時想到這兩天的會議所啟動的進程的重大意義。我建議每次開會前我們把我們的孩子和我們的孫子孫女的照片帶來，因為的確這就是我們這項工作的真正目的。這就是在我們作出決定時應該引導我們、鼓舞我們、鞭策我們的原則。因此它將肯定成為戴國務委員和我打算遵循的參與和承諾的原則。

Because this is part of a new beginning.It is the culmination of a process begun decades ago, when Dr.Kissinger was instrumental in opening the door to the possibility that then came into fruition years, ten years, later of normalized relations.We were so constantly thinking of Henry Kissinger over the last days getting ready for this, because his work, his courage, the risk that he took, has led us in many ways to this evening.因為這是一項新起點的組成部分。這是數十年前開始的一個進程的結果。當年基辛格博士發揮了重要作用，幫助打開了充滿機遇的大門，十年后結出碩果，實現了兩國關系正常化。我們在為會議做準備的最后日子里經常想到亨利·基辛格，因為他所做的工作、他的勇氣、他所承擔的風險在許多方面引導我們走向今晚。

And on a personal note, let me say that since taking this job, I’ve relied on the wise counsel of many of my predecessors, and Secretary Kissinger has been among the most generous and thoughtful with his guidance and advice.So once again, we are grateful that he is here with us tonight as we continue to work toward something that he saw on the horizon and convinced others that it was possible to see and move toward a stronger U.S.-China relationship.Please join me in welcoming Secretary – former Secretary Henry Kissinger.(Applause.)就我個人而言，請允許我說明：自從擔任這項工作以來，我受益于許多前任國務卿的智慧，其中基辛格國務卿是提供最慷慨、最周詳的指導與忠告的國務卿之一。因此我們要再次表示感謝，感謝今晚他在我們繼續朝著他指出的方向努力時來這里與我們聚會，當年他使眾人相信，經過努力，有朝一日美國和中國能夠建立更加強有力的關系。請和我一起歡迎國務卿、前國務卿亨利·基辛格。

Today, the United States is making women a cornerstone of foreign policy because we think it’s the right thing to do, but we also believe it’s the smart thing to do as well.Investing in the potential of the world’s women and girls is one of the surest ways to achieve global economic progress, political stability, and greater prosperity for women — and men — the world over.今天，美國正在把婦女工作作為外交政策的基石，因為我們認為這是正確之舉，但我們同時也認為這是智慧之舉。通過投資發揮世界女性的潛力是實現全球經濟發展、政治穩定和全世界婦女及男性帶來更大繁榮的最有保障的方式之一。

So on this International Women’s Day, let us rededicate ourselves to advancing and protecting the rights of women and girls, and to join together to ensure that no one is left behind in the 21st century.因此，值此國際婦女節之際，讓我們繼續獻身于促進與保護婦女和女童的權利，團結一致，以確保在21世紀沒有任何人掉隊。
