奧巴馬回答現(xiàn)場(chǎng)提問(wèn)

新華網(wǎng)上海11月16日電美國(guó)總統(tǒng)奧巴馬16日在上海與中國(guó)青年對(duì)話(huà)。以下為奧巴馬回答現(xiàn)場(chǎng)和網(wǎng)友提問(wèn)實(shí)錄：

現(xiàn)場(chǎng)提問(wèn)：我叫程熙，我是復(fù)旦大學(xué)的學(xué)生，上海和芝加哥從1985年開(kāi)始就是姐妹城市，這兩個(gè)城市進(jìn)行過(guò)各種經(jīng)貿(mào)、文化、政治交流，你現(xiàn)在在采取什么措施來(lái)加深美國(guó)和中國(guó)城市之間的關(guān)系。世博會(huì)明年將在上海舉行，你是否準(zhǔn)備參加世博會(huì)呢？

奧巴馬：非常感謝你的問(wèn)題，我在來(lái)之前和上海的市長(zhǎng)共進(jìn)午餐，他和我說(shuō)他跟芝加哥，也就是我的家鄉(xiāng)有著很好的關(guān)系，他兩度訪(fǎng)問(wèn)芝加哥，我認(rèn)為城市間有這種交流非常非常好，我剛才和韓市長(zhǎng)談的問(wèn)題之一就是我們這些城市如何可以彼此進(jìn)行交流，比如就潔凈能源的策略進(jìn)行交流。因?yàn)槊乐袃蓢?guó)共同面對(duì)的問(wèn)題就是我們?nèi)绾卧谌丝谠鲩L(zhǎng)的過(guò)程中，又解決氣候變化的問(wèn)題，同時(shí)減少我們二氧化碳的排放。

很顯然，在美國(guó)以及在很多發(fā)達(dá)國(guó)家，人均能耗量都比中國(guó)的人均能耗量大，不過(guò)在中國(guó)成長(zhǎng)的過(guò)程中，能耗量會(huì)增加，因此，我們找到新的戰(zhàn)略，這符合我們兩國(guó)的利益。我們剛才談了大眾捷運(yùn)，我知道上海和其他城市之間就有這種快軌，我相信美國(guó)以及芝加哥可以在這種快軌方面向中國(guó)學(xué)習(xí)。而在美國(guó)我們也在學(xué)習(xí)如何建造這種綠色建筑，當(dāng)然，在上海我看到有很多的吊車(chē)，很多的建筑在蓋起來(lái)。因此在這些新的技術(shù)上我們進(jìn)行合作是非常非常重要的，使得我們每一個(gè)建筑在采光、取暖等等方面都能減少能耗，使能源效率更高，這方面是我們兩國(guó)可以相互學(xué)習(xí)的。

我知道上海世博會(huì)的焦點(diǎn)之一就是提高能效的問(wèn)題，剛才韓市長(zhǎng)跟我講了這個(gè)問(wèn)題，我將非常樂(lè)于參加上海世博會(huì)，當(dāng)然，我現(xiàn)在不知道那時(shí)候我的時(shí)間安排怎么樣，不過(guò)我感到非常高興上海世博會(huì)將有我們的美國(guó)館，我們知道現(xiàn)在參觀(guān)世博會(huì)的人會(huì)有七千萬(wàn)人。芝加哥已經(jīng)舉辦過(guò)兩次世博會(huì)，這兩次世博會(huì)都給我們芝加哥帶來(lái)了巨大的好處，我希望上海情況也是如此，謝謝。

現(xiàn)場(chǎng)提問(wèn)：總統(tǒng)先生，我是上海交通大學(xué)的學(xué)生。我的問(wèn)題是，您來(lái)中國(guó)的第一印象是什么？你給中國(guó)帶來(lái)什么？又想從中國(guó)帶走什么？

奧巴馬：好。這次訪(fǎng)問(wèn)的主要目的就是加深我對(duì)中國(guó)和中國(guó)對(duì)未來(lái)的愿景的理解，我已經(jīng)和胡主席進(jìn)行了幾次會(huì)晤，我們一起參加20國(guó)峰會(huì)，就是應(yīng)對(duì)金融危機(jī)，另外，我們就范圍廣泛的問(wèn)題也進(jìn)行磋商。但是我認(rèn)為很重要的是美國(guó)要繼續(xù)不斷的加深對(duì)中國(guó)的了解，同樣中國(guó)要不斷加深對(duì)美國(guó)的了解也是重要的。至于我這次會(huì)晤希望有什么成果或者訪(fǎng)問(wèn)的成果，除了能夠看紫禁城和長(zhǎng)城這么偉大的好的機(jī)會(huì)，還有會(huì)見(jiàn)各位，所有這些都是我的一些高潮和亮點(diǎn)。

除此以外，我打算和胡主席談到一些問(wèn)題，也就是洪大使提到的一點(diǎn)，世界上除非美中兩國(guó)一致，不然能夠解決全球的挑戰(zhàn)是極少的。我舉個(gè)例子來(lái)說(shuō)，剛才談到的氣候變化這個(gè)問(wèn)題，美國(guó)和中國(guó)是世界上最大的兩個(gè)溫室氣體的排放者，也就是造成全球變暖的因素。那么美國(guó)作為一個(gè)高度發(fā)達(dá)國(guó)家，就像剛才說(shuō)的，從人均來(lái)講，人均消耗的能源多得多，排放的溫室氣體按人均來(lái)算比中國(guó)多得多，但是中國(guó)增長(zhǎng)速度快得多，人口多得多，所以除非我們兩個(gè)國(guó)家都愿意采取一些關(guān)鍵的步驟來(lái)應(yīng)對(duì)這個(gè)問(wèn)題，我們就無(wú)法解決這個(gè)問(wèn)題。

那么12月份舉行哥本哈根會(huì)議，世界的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人正在努力找到一個(gè)方案，能夠使我們大家都作出承諾，是有區(qū)別的，不會(huì)說(shuō)每個(gè)國(guó)家承擔(dān)的義務(wù)一樣，顯然中國(guó)貧窮的人數(shù)多得多，所以他不需要跟美國(guó)做的一樣。但是各方都應(yīng)該承擔(dān)一些具體的義務(wù)，就是有關(guān)我們打算做些什么來(lái)減少溫室氣體。這只是一個(gè)例子，我希望會(huì)晤的成果，就是我和胡主席能夠就美中兩國(guó)怎么共同發(fā)揮領(lǐng)導(dǎo)作用而達(dá)成一致。因?yàn)槲铱梢愿嬖V各位，甚至很多其他國(guó)家他們將等著我們，他們要看我們做什么，他們要說(shuō)，“你看美國(guó)、中國(guó)他們對(duì)這個(gè)并不認(rèn)真，那我們也不會(huì)認(rèn)真”。

那兩個(gè)國(guó)家就要承擔(dān)做領(lǐng)導(dǎo)的責(zé)任。所以我們?cè)绞悄軌蛴懻撨@個(gè)問(wèn)題，越是能夠向全世界展現(xiàn)在這些問(wèn)題上的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)作用。好吧，我想現(xiàn)在輪到男士。

現(xiàn)場(chǎng)提問(wèn)：我是同濟(jì)大學(xué)黃立赫(音)。首先我想引用“有朋自遠(yuǎn)方來(lái)不亦樂(lè)乎”這句話(huà)來(lái)歡迎您，在《論語(yǔ)·子路》中有一句話(huà)叫和而不同，我們中國(guó)人民的理想就是在世界構(gòu)建一個(gè)文化多元化的和諧世界。我們知道美國(guó)文化本身是在歷史沉淀當(dāng)中由不同的文化元素所積淀而成的多元混合型文化，請(qǐng)問(wèn)在您的這屆政府中會(huì)采取哪些措施來(lái)共同構(gòu)建這個(gè)世界向著文化多元化發(fā)展？在您的外交政策中會(huì)有哪些措施去尊重各國(guó)的不同的歷史文化？我們中美兩國(guó)在此方面會(huì)有哪些合作？謝謝您。

奧巴馬：我認(rèn)為這是非常好的一點(diǎn)，美國(guó)的優(yōu)勢(shì)之一就是我們是一個(gè)非常多元化的文化，我們那有來(lái)自世界各地的人，因此，這對(duì)于美國(guó)人長(zhǎng)什么樣，你確實(shí)不能一言以蔽之，比如像我家我父親來(lái)自肯尼亞，我母親來(lái)自中西部的堪薩斯州，我妹妹是半個(gè)印度尼西亞人，她又嫁了一位加拿大的華裔人。因此當(dāng)你看到我們奧巴馬全家聚會(huì)的時(shí)候我們就像聯(lián)合國(guó)一樣，什么人都有，而這就是我們美國(guó)的力量所在，因?yàn)樗馕吨覀儚牟煌奈幕牟煌娘嬍常瑥牟煌南敕ㄖ邢嗷W(xué)習(xí)，這使得我們社會(huì)變得更加富有活力。同時(shí)每個(gè)國(guó)家在你中有我我中有你的世界中，每個(gè)國(guó)家有著自己的歷史傳統(tǒng)和文化，因此我認(rèn)為對(duì)于美國(guó)來(lái)講，重要的一點(diǎn)就是不能推斷說(shuō)，我們有好的做法適用到別人身上的時(shí)候也可以帶來(lái)好處。實(shí)際上這方面我們要虛心一點(diǎn)才行，對(duì)別的國(guó)家這種態(tài)度要虛心一點(diǎn)才行。

如果要說(shuō)正如我在開(kāi)場(chǎng)白中所說(shuō)的一樣，我們確實(shí)認(rèn)為一些基本的原則是所有人不管你是什么樣的文化，對(duì)所有人都應(yīng)該是共有的共性，比如在聯(lián)合國(guó)，我們非常活躍于聯(lián)合國(guó)來(lái)努力確保世界各地的兒童都能夠得到某些基本權(quán)利的待遇。當(dāng)然，有些地方兒童受到剝削、壓榨，強(qiáng)迫他們做童工，盡管以前不同的國(guó)家包括美國(guó)發(fā)生過(guò)這樣的事情，但是世界上所有的國(guó)家都應(yīng)當(dāng)有一個(gè)共同的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，就是要以比過(guò)去更好的方式來(lái)對(duì)待我們的兒童，這是一個(gè)普世的價(jià)值觀(guān)。

我相信在婦女的問(wèn)題上情況也是如此，我跟上海的韓市長(zhǎng)在吃午餐的時(shí)候進(jìn)行了很有趣的討論，他跟我說(shuō)現(xiàn)在有很多專(zhuān)業(yè)人士，在中國(guó)的專(zhuān)業(yè)人士中，比如在大學(xué)生中女生比男生還多，而且她們的表現(xiàn)非常的好。我認(rèn)為這是一個(gè)取得進(jìn)展的很好的、很小的指標(biāo)，因?yàn)槟憧纯词澜绺鞯氐陌l(fā)展，一個(gè)國(guó)家是不是成就斐然的一個(gè)最好的指標(biāo)就是他的教育以及婦女所受的教育。而那些能夠發(fā)揮婦女的潛力的國(guó)家，那些做得好的國(guó)家他們得到好處就比那些不發(fā)揮婦女潛力的國(guó)家要大。當(dāng)然，男女關(guān)系中不同的文化有不同的做法，不過(guò)我認(rèn)為在美國(guó)，我們很重要的一點(diǎn)是要確認(rèn)世界各地婦女的權(quán)利，當(dāng)然，有些社會(huì)中婦女受到壓迫，她們不能得到足夠的機(jī)會(huì)，還有婦女受到暴力的影響等等，見(jiàn)到這些情況的時(shí)候我們都會(huì)直言不諱地提出來(lái)的。當(dāng)然，有些人可能不同意我們的觀(guān)點(diǎn)，我們可以就此展開(kāi)對(duì)話(huà)，但是我們能夠?qū)崿F(xiàn)我們的理想才行。

當(dāng)然，我們?cè)谧鲞@個(gè)事情的過(guò)程中，我們要虛心，我們并不是十全十美的，我們?cè)诤芏鄦?wèn)題上也要取得進(jìn)展，你跟美國(guó)的婦女講的時(shí)候，她們會(huì)跟你說(shuō)：很多男人對(duì)于婦女在社會(huì)中的地位還有一些成見(jiàn)。因此我們絕不聲稱(chēng)我們解決了這些問(wèn)題，但是我們認(rèn)為就這些問(wèn)題，普世的原則我們還是要談的。下面聽(tīng)聽(tīng)網(wǎng)民的提問(wèn)。

現(xiàn)場(chǎng)提問(wèn)：總統(tǒng)先生，您好。我們非常榮幸來(lái)到這兒，我叫張新(音)，來(lái)自于上海外國(guó)語(yǔ)大學(xué)。我想找一個(gè)網(wǎng)上的問(wèn)題，這個(gè)問(wèn)題是來(lái)自于臺(tái)灣的一位同胞。他說(shuō)我來(lái)自于臺(tái)灣，現(xiàn)在我在大陸做生意，現(xiàn)在兩岸關(guān)系在近年來(lái)不斷地改善，我現(xiàn)在在大陸的生意做得很好。當(dāng)有人在美國(guó)說(shuō)，美國(guó)想向臺(tái)灣售武的時(shí)候我們非常擔(dān)心，因?yàn)檫@樣的話(huà)會(huì)破壞兩岸關(guān)系。總統(tǒng)先生，我想知道您是否支持改善兩岸關(guān)系。當(dāng)然，這個(gè)問(wèn)題是來(lái)自于一位商人。但是其實(shí)對(duì)于所有的年輕中國(guó)人來(lái)說(shuō)，其實(shí)都非常關(guān)心這個(gè)問(wèn)題，所以我們特別希望聽(tīng)下您的看法。謝謝。

奧巴馬：我過(guò)去很明確，我的政府全面支持一個(gè)中國(guó)的政策，也就像三個(gè)聯(lián)合公報(bào)所反映出的那樣子，就是幾十年前開(kāi)始的關(guān)于針對(duì)與臺(tái)灣的關(guān)系，也包括和中華人民共和國(guó)的關(guān)系在內(nèi)。我們不愿意改變這個(gè)政策和這個(gè)態(tài)度。我非常高興看到緊張局勢(shì)的緩和和跨海峽兩岸關(guān)系的改善。而且我非常希望我們繼續(xù)看到兩岸不斷地改善關(guān)系，解決很多這樣的問(wèn)題。

有一個(gè)事情，美國(guó)在對(duì)外政策當(dāng)中，也包括針對(duì)中國(guó)的政策，我們一直尋求的一件事情就是要通過(guò)對(duì)話(huà)和談判使問(wèn)題能夠得到解決，我們一直認(rèn)為這是最好的途徑。我認(rèn)為這個(gè)地區(qū)正在發(fā)生著經(jīng)濟(jì)和商務(wù)的聯(lián)系，正在幫助緩和很多在你們出生或者我還沒(méi)有出生以前就已經(jīng)產(chǎn)生的緊張局勢(shì)，有些人還希望回顧過(guò)去來(lái)考慮問(wèn)題，而不是展望未來(lái)，我還是希望能夠展望未來(lái)。就像我剛才說(shuō)的，現(xiàn)在建立的商務(wù)關(guān)系是有益的，有人認(rèn)為做生意賺錢(qián)的話(huà)，他們會(huì)考慮得很清楚，而不會(huì)那么過(guò)分地?fù)?dān)憂(yōu)這些意識(shí)形態(tài)的問(wèn)題，而且我認(rèn)為這個(gè)地區(qū)已經(jīng)看到這個(gè)現(xiàn)象，我們非常支持這樣的進(jìn)程。好吧。現(xiàn)在輪到女生。

現(xiàn)場(chǎng)提問(wèn)：謝謝。總統(tǒng)先生，我是來(lái)自于上海交通大學(xué)的一位學(xué)生。我想問(wèn)一個(gè)您得諾貝爾和平獎(jiǎng)的一個(gè)問(wèn)題。您是如何看待您得獎(jiǎng)的？您得了獎(jiǎng)對(duì)您來(lái)說(shuō)是不是意味著更多的壓力和責(zé)任？您有更多的責(zé)任去推動(dòng)世界和平。同時(shí)，這會(huì)不會(huì)影響你解決世界問(wèn)題的一些態(tài)度？

奧巴馬：這個(gè)問(wèn)題問(wèn)得非常好，謝謝。正如我開(kāi)始所說(shuō)，關(guān)于我得到的和平獎(jiǎng)這個(gè)問(wèn)題最驚奇的就是我自己，當(dāng)然，這是一個(gè)殊榮，不過(guò)我認(rèn)為這個(gè)榮譽(yù)我有點(diǎn)不配。因?yàn)榭紤]到以前得獎(jiǎng)的人所做的工作我有點(diǎn)不配，但是我希望做的工作就是以本著非常卑謙的態(tài)度來(lái)對(duì)待這個(gè)事情。那就是他們這個(gè)諾貝爾提名委員會(huì)對(duì)于美國(guó)所發(fā)生的變化以及美國(guó)對(duì)世界事務(wù)的態(tài)度所發(fā)生的變化受到了啟發(fā)，所以他們把獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng)頒發(fā)給了我，不過(guò)我只是對(duì)我們對(duì)世界態(tài)度的變化的一個(gè)象征而已。

我感到這是一種殊榮——能夠成為美國(guó)總統(tǒng)。正如我夫人經(jīng)常提醒我說(shuō)的，有時(shí)候我抱怨工作太忙了，她經(jīng)常提醒我說(shuō)：你是自己找的這份工作。英文里說(shuō)你自己鋪了床你只好自己到里面去睡覺(jué)。這個(gè)意思就是說(shuō)有時(shí)候你要想得到什么東西真要小心一點(diǎn)，你真有可能得到這份東西，我認(rèn)為我們每個(gè)人要在世界上促進(jìn)我們的和平，做到這一點(diǎn)并不容易。

現(xiàn)在世界上有很多沖突，這些沖突有數(shù)百年的歷史，比如你看看中東的情況，這些戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)和沖突他們來(lái)源于一千年以前的斗爭(zhēng)，比如在非洲有部落的沖突，這都很難得到解決，作為美國(guó)總統(tǒng)，我的工作之一是我們美國(guó)武裝力量的總指揮，我的當(dāng)務(wù)之急首先要做的就是保護(hù)美國(guó)人民，由于9·11發(fā)生的襲擊事件，以及世界各地的恐怖事件造成無(wú)辜人的死亡，我有這樣的任務(wù)就是要根除這些恐怖主義組織，要和很多國(guó)家進(jìn)行合作來(lái)應(yīng)付這種恐怖暴力。當(dāng)然，我想我們不可能完全杜絕國(guó)與人以及國(guó)與國(guó)之間的暴力，但是我們可以大大減少這些暴力。這個(gè)做法就是通過(guò)交流、通過(guò)對(duì)話(huà)，通過(guò)加深人與人、文化與文化之間的理解來(lái)做到這一點(diǎn)。

此時(shí)此刻，一個(gè)人可以引爆炸彈，帶來(lái)很大的破壞。因此，我們要實(shí)行這種和平的策略就變得更加重要了。技術(shù)可以造福于人，但是也可以使這些少數(shù)人造成巨大的破壞。正因如此，我希望在我跟胡主席的會(huì)談中，以及今后進(jìn)行的會(huì)談中，美國(guó)和中國(guó)可以共同合作來(lái)共同減少我們?cè)谑澜绺鞯厮吹降臎_突。同時(shí)，我們還要牢記這樣一個(gè)事實(shí)，當(dāng)我們動(dòng)用軍事力量的時(shí)候，因?yàn)槲覀兪谴髧?guó)、強(qiáng)國(guó)，我們自己要三思而行，我們要看看自己有什么動(dòng)機(jī)，有什么利益來(lái)確保我們不僅僅由于別人管不了我們我們就動(dòng)輒使用我們的軍力，而這些大國(guó)要在世界之林中本著負(fù)責(zé)任的做法采取行動(dòng)才行，我希望美國(guó)和中國(guó)能夠共同地幫助建立國(guó)際準(zhǔn)則以減少世界各地的沖突。

好吧，我現(xiàn)在請(qǐng)我的洪大使，現(xiàn)在有一個(gè)網(wǎng)民通過(guò)我們使館網(wǎng)站提了一個(gè)問(wèn)題。

網(wǎng)民提問(wèn)：第一，有這么多互聯(lián)網(wǎng)使用者的國(guó)家，有6000萬(wàn)寫(xiě)博客的人，你知道防火墻的事情嗎？第二，我們是不是應(yīng)該自由的使用TWITTER?

奧巴馬：首先讓我說(shuō)，我從來(lái)沒(méi)有使用過(guò)TWITTER。我注意到一些年輕人，他們一直很忙，有各種各樣的電子器材。我非常相信技術(shù)的作用，非常重視開(kāi)放性。在信息流動(dòng)方面，我認(rèn)為信息流通越自由，社會(huì)就變得越強(qiáng)，因?yàn)檫@樣子，世界各地的公民能讓自己的政府負(fù)責(zé)，有一個(gè)問(wèn)責(zé)制度，他們自己會(huì)思考，這樣會(huì)有新的想法，鼓勵(lì)創(chuàng)造性。所以我一直堅(jiān)定的支持互聯(lián)網(wǎng)開(kāi)放的使用，我非常支持不審查內(nèi)容。在美國(guó)我過(guò)去談過(guò)，這是我們的一個(gè)傳統(tǒng)，我也認(rèn)識(shí)到不同的國(guó)家有不同的傳統(tǒng)，但是我可以告訴各位，在美國(guó)，我們有沒(méi)有受限制的使用互聯(lián)網(wǎng)的機(jī)會(huì)，這是我們力量的來(lái)源，也應(yīng)該受到鼓勵(lì)的。

但是我也應(yīng)該很誠(chéng)實(shí)的告訴各位，作為美國(guó)總統(tǒng)，有的時(shí)候我還是希望信息不是那么自由的流通，因?yàn)檫@樣我就不需要聽(tīng)到人們?cè)谂u(píng)我，我認(rèn)為很自然的。

在人處于一個(gè)實(shí)力地位的時(shí)候就會(huì)想到，你為什么這樣說(shuō)我，你這樣說(shuō)是很不負(fù)責(zé)的。可是真實(shí)的情況是這樣，因?yàn)樵诿绹?guó)信息是自由的，因?yàn)樵诿绹?guó)有很多人批評(píng)我說(shuō)各種各樣的事情，但我還是認(rèn)為，這樣才會(huì)使得我們的民族制度變得更強(qiáng)，使我變成一個(gè)更好的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人，因?yàn)樗仁刮衣?tīng)到一些我不愿意聽(tīng)到的意見(jiàn)，也迫使我審查我正在做的事情，每天都要審查，要看我是不是真的為美國(guó)人民做我能做的最好的事情。所以我認(rèn)為互聯(lián)網(wǎng)現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)變成一個(gè)更強(qiáng)的工具，可以讓公民來(lái)參與。

實(shí)際上，我這次勝選，當(dāng)了總統(tǒng)的一個(gè)原因之一是我們能夠動(dòng)員很多年輕人，通過(guò)互聯(lián)網(wǎng)來(lái)動(dòng)員。剛開(kāi)始的時(shí)候，沒(méi)有人會(huì)想到我會(huì)贏(yíng)，因?yàn)槲覀儾皇堑玫阶罡辉５闹С终摺⒄紊献钣袡?quán)力的人支持我們，可是人們通過(guò)互聯(lián)網(wǎng)看到我們競(jìng)選，他們開(kāi)始感到很興奮，他們就組織起來(lái)成立一些競(jìng)選的活動(dòng)、事件和集會(huì)，結(jié)果就產(chǎn)生了這些從下往上的一種行動(dòng)，使我們很成功。

這不僅在政府和政治，在企業(yè)界也一樣。像Google這種公司，不到20年前，它只是兩個(gè)年齡跟你們差不多一樣的人創(chuàng)業(yè)，本來(lái)是科學(xué)的實(shí)驗(yàn)，后來(lái)因?yàn)榛ヂ?lián)網(wǎng)，他們能夠創(chuàng)造一個(gè)產(chǎn)業(yè)，這個(gè)產(chǎn)業(yè)使得全世界各地的商業(yè)發(fā)生一場(chǎng)革命。

所以要不是有很自由的開(kāi)放性，就像互聯(lián)網(wǎng)所提供的開(kāi)放性，那Google不會(huì)存在，所以我很支持一個(gè)做法，就是不要限制互聯(lián)網(wǎng)的使用、接觸或者像TWITTER這種信息技術(shù)，越開(kāi)放越能夠溝通，使全世界聯(lián)系在一起。像我的兩個(gè)女兒瑪麗亞和娜塔莎，一個(gè)是11歲，一個(gè)是8歲，在她們的房間可以上網(wǎng)，通過(guò)互聯(lián)網(wǎng)可以達(dá)到世界任何地方，可以學(xué)到她們想學(xué)的內(nèi)容，這是她們巨大的力量，她們擁有這種力量，也有利于促進(jìn)相互理解。

就像我剛才所說(shuō)的，技術(shù)也有負(fù)面，恐怖分子也可以通過(guò)互聯(lián)網(wǎng)做一些以前他們做不到的事情，有一些極端分子也可以動(dòng)員。當(dāng)然開(kāi)放性肯定要付出某種代價(jià)，這是不能否認(rèn)的。可是我想好的遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)多于壞的，所以還是保持開(kāi)放是好的，這是我很高興互聯(lián)網(wǎng)也作為這個(gè)論壇的一部分。最后兩個(gè)問(wèn)題。

現(xiàn)場(chǎng)提問(wèn)：我想說(shuō)，我非常榮幸站在這里向您提問(wèn)，我認(rèn)為我很幸運(yùn)，我也感謝這個(gè)機(jī)會(huì)，您的演講非常清楚。我是周元天(音)，復(fù)旦大學(xué)管理學(xué)院的學(xué)生，我想問(wèn)一問(wèn)，現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)有人問(wèn)您得諾貝爾獎(jiǎng)的問(wèn)題了，那么我不會(huì)以同樣的角度問(wèn)您，我想問(wèn)的是從另外一個(gè)角度來(lái)看，因?yàn)槟茈y才能得到這個(gè)獎(jiǎng)，所以我在想您是怎么得到這個(gè)獎(jiǎng)的？還有您的大學(xué)教育怎么樣使您得到這個(gè)獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng)？我們很好奇，想請(qǐng)您給我們分享一下您的校園經(jīng)歷，如何才能走上成功的道路？

奧巴馬：首先我要說(shuō)的是，我也不知道有什么課程學(xué)了之后可以得到諾貝爾和平獎(jiǎng)，這是不能擔(dān)保的。不過(guò)很顯然的，在座每個(gè)人都在非常努力地學(xué)習(xí)，非常有好奇心。同時(shí)，愿意自己去思考一些新的想法等等。

而我現(xiàn)在經(jīng)常見(jiàn)到的這些人，對(duì)我最有啟發(fā)的以及最成功的這些人，我認(rèn)為這些人都是那些愿意不斷努力工作的人，同時(shí)還不斷地通過(guò)找新的途徑進(jìn)行提高的人，他們不僅僅是接受現(xiàn)狀、接受常規(guī)。很顯然，在成功的問(wèn)題上殊途同歸，有些人進(jìn)入政府服務(wù)，有些人想當(dāng)老師、教授，有些人想經(jīng)商。但是我認(rèn)為不管你從事哪個(gè)領(lǐng)域的工作，如果你不斷地努力更新和改進(jìn)，而不只是滿(mǎn)足于現(xiàn)狀，一直在捫心自問(wèn)，看看是否能夠以不同的方式來(lái)解決問(wèn)題的話(huà)，那么不管是科學(xué)也好、技術(shù)也好、藝術(shù)也好，去嘗試前人沒(méi)有用過(guò)的方法，只有這些人才能出人頭地。

我還有一個(gè)忠告，這個(gè)忠告對(duì)我來(lái)講很有用，就是說(shuō)我最敬仰的那些成功的人士，他們不但考慮自己，他們同時(shí)還考慮超越自己的事情，他們希望對(duì)世界做出貢獻(xiàn)，他們希望對(duì)他們的國(guó)家做出貢獻(xiàn)，對(duì)他們的城市做出貢獻(xiàn)，他們希望除了對(duì)自己的生活有所影響，同時(shí)對(duì)別人的生活也帶來(lái)影響。有時(shí)候我們會(huì)忙于掙錢(qián)、買(mǎi)好車(chē)、買(mǎi)大房子，所有的這些都重要，但是那些真正留名青史的人是因?yàn)樗麄冇懈蟮南蛲慈绾螏椭嗟娜四軌虺燥栵垼軌蜃尭嗟膬和艿浇逃绾文軌蛞院推椒绞浇鉀Q沖突等等。只有這些人他們才能在世界上做出貢獻(xiàn)，我相信只要在座的你們努力的話(huà)也能夠做出這樣的貢獻(xiàn)。

這是最后一個(gè)問(wèn)題，時(shí)間過(guò)得真快，最后一個(gè)是網(wǎng)民的提問(wèn)。

北京網(wǎng)民提問(wèn)：總統(tǒng)先生，很榮幸問(wèn)最后一個(gè)問(wèn)題。我是復(fù)旦大學(xué)的學(xué)生，今天我也是中國(guó)的青年網(wǎng)民代表。這個(gè)問(wèn)題是北京的一位網(wǎng)民問(wèn)的，他非常關(guān)注您的阿富汗政策。他想知道，恐怖主義是否仍然是美國(guó)最大的安全威脅？您如何看待在阿富汗的行動(dòng)是否會(huì)升級(jí)成另外一場(chǎng)阿富汗戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)？

奧巴馬：這是一個(gè)非常好的問(wèn)題。首先我還繼續(xù)認(rèn)為對(duì)美國(guó)安全最大的威脅是像“基地”組織那樣恐怖的網(wǎng)絡(luò)。原因是因?yàn)殡m然他們數(shù)量少，他們已經(jīng)表明他們是無(wú)良心的，這是毀滅無(wú)辜人民的行為。

因?yàn)榻裉斓募夹g(shù)，使得那樣的組織得到大規(guī)模毀滅性武器，比如核武器、生物武器、化學(xué)武器，在一個(gè)城市使用，不管是在上海還是紐約，只是少數(shù)幾個(gè)人也可能殺害幾萬(wàn)人、幾十萬(wàn)人，所以這是構(gòu)成極大的危險(xiǎn)。

我們?cè)瓉?lái)進(jìn)入阿富汗的原因是因?yàn)椤盎亍苯M織在那里，塔利班接收他們?cè)谀抢铮F(xiàn)在他們已經(jīng)過(guò)了邊界，他們現(xiàn)在在巴基斯坦，繼續(xù)和該地區(qū)的“基地”保持網(wǎng)絡(luò)的關(guān)系，所以很重要的是我們要使阿富汗實(shí)現(xiàn)穩(wěn)定或者使阿富汗的人民能夠保護(hù)自己，也同時(shí)能夠作為伙伴來(lái)幫助減少這些極端組織的力量。

很顯然，這是非常困難的事情。我這個(gè)工作最難做的一件事情之一，就是命令年輕的男女要到戰(zhàn)場(chǎng)去，我經(jīng)常要會(huì)見(jiàn)那些戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)死亡人員的父母親，他們沒(méi)能回家，這使我心里感到非常痛苦。幸好我們的武裝部隊(duì)的年輕的男士、女士們，他們?yōu)閲?guó)家服務(wù)的信念這么強(qiáng)，他們還是愿意去，所以我認(rèn)為還是有可能，通過(guò)更廣的聯(lián)合合作，包括北約的同盟者和其他的，像澳大利亞做貢獻(xiàn)的人，我們可以一起幫助訓(xùn)練阿富汗人，使他們能夠擁有一個(gè)發(fā)揮作用的政府，擁有自己的安全力量，然后我們可以慢慢的撤出我們的部隊(duì)。這個(gè)任務(wù)是很不容易的。是最終要擊敗這些恐怖主義的極端分子，我們要記住他們不只是支持恐怖活動(dòng)，還會(huì)什么事情使得年輕人變成恐怖分子，出于什么動(dòng)機(jī)他們?cè)敢飧阕詺⒄◤棥?/p>

當(dāng)然有很多不同的原因，其中包括有一種歪曲宗教的作用，使人們認(rèn)為這種暴力行為是適當(dāng)?shù)模拖癜突固购桶⒏缓拱l(fā)生的因素之一，那些人沒(méi)有受到教育，也沒(méi)有機(jī)會(huì)，所以他們看到在生活中沒(méi)有向前走的路子，所以他們就想唯一的選擇就做那種事情，所以我們?cè)诎⒏缓挂獙?shí)現(xiàn)的目的之一就是找到一些方法來(lái)培訓(xùn)老師，建立學(xué)校，改善農(nóng)業(yè)的狀況，給人民更大的希望。

這個(gè)不會(huì)改變本·拉丹的想法，他們的意識(shí)形態(tài)是非常固定的，就是要打擊西方，但是他們會(huì)改變一些年輕人的想法，這個(gè)很重要。從更長(zhǎng)遠(yuǎn)來(lái)講，這個(gè)事情比我們采取的軍事行動(dòng)可能是更重要的。

今天我過(guò)得非常愉快，非常感謝各位，首先我想說(shuō)我對(duì)大家的英文印象很深刻，很明顯你們是很用功的學(xué)習(xí)。有機(jī)會(huì)和大家見(jiàn)面，使我感到美中關(guān)系的未來(lái)是很有希望的，我希望你們很多人有機(jī)會(huì)到美國(guó)來(lái)，你們會(huì)受到歡迎，我想你們會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)美國(guó)人民對(duì)中國(guó)人民是很熱情的，而且我是充滿(mǎn)信心，對(duì)你們這種年輕人和我在美國(guó)所認(rèn)識(shí)的青年，我們兩個(gè)偉大的國(guó)家會(huì)繼續(xù)繁榮昌盛，會(huì)幫助實(shí)現(xiàn)更和平安全的世界。(所有文字根據(jù)文字實(shí)錄整理

第二篇：奧巴馬演講

奧巴馬演講

Hello, everybody.In the State of the Union, I laid out three areas we need to focus on if we're going to build an economy that lasts: new American manufacturing, new skills and education for American workers, and new sources of American-made energy.These days, we're getting another painful reminder why developing new energy is so important to our future.Just like they did last year, gas prices are starting to climb.Only this time, it's happening earlier.And that hurts everyone – everyone who owns a car;everyone who owns a business.It means you have to stretch your paycheck even further.Some folks have no choice but to drive a long way to work, and high gas prices are like a tax straight out of their paychecks.Now, some politicians always see this as a political opportunity.And since it's an election year, they're already dusting off their three-point plans for $2 gas.I'll save you the suspense: Step one is drill, step two is drill, and step three is keep drilling.We hear the same thing every year.Well the American people aren't stupid.You know that's not a plan – especially since we're already drilling.It's a bumper sticker.It's not a strategy to solve our energy challenge.It's a strategy to get politicians through an election.You know there are no quick fixes to this problem, and you know we can't just drill our way to lower gas prices.If we're going to take control of our energy future and avoid these gas price spikes down the line, then we need a sustained, all-of-the-above strategy that develops every available source of American energy – oil, gas, wind, solar, nuclear, biofuels, and more.We need to keep developing the technology that allows us to use less oil in our cars and trucks;in our buildings and plants.That's the strategy we're pursuing, and that's the only real solution to this challenge.Now, we absolutely need safe, responsible oil production here in America.That's why under my Administration, America is producing more oil today than at any time in the last eight years.In 2010, our dependence on foreign oil was under 50% for the first time in more than a decade.And while there are no short-term silver bullets when it comes to gas prices, I've directed my administration to look for every single area where we can make an impact and help consumers in the months ahead, from permitting to delivery bottlenecks to what's going on in the oil markets.But over the long term, an all-of-the-above energy strategy means we have to do more.It means we have to make some choices.Here's one example.Right now, four billion of your tax dollars subsidize the oil industry every year.Four billion dollars.Imagine that.Maybe some of you are listening to this in your car right now, pulling into a gas station to fill up.As you watch those numbers rise, know that oil company profits have never been higher.Yet somehow, Congress is still giving those same companies another four billion dollars of your money.That's outrageous.It's inexcusable.And it has to stop.A century of subsidies to the oil companies is long enough.It's time to end taxpayer giveaways to an industry that's never been more profitable, and use that money to reduce our deficit and double-down on a clean energy industry that's never been more promising.Because of the investments we've already made, the use of wind and solar energy in this country has nearly doubled – and thousands of Americans have jobs because of it.And because we put in place the toughest fuel economy standards in history, our cars will average nearly 55 miles per gallon by the middle of the next decade – something that, over time, will save the typical family more than $8,000 at the pump.Now Congress needs to keep that momentum going by renewing the clean energy tax credits that will lead to more jobs and less dependence on foreign oil.Look, we know there's no silver bullet that will bring down gas prices or reduce our dependence on foreign oil overnight.But what we can do is get our priorities straight, and make a sustained, serious effort to tackle this problem.That's the commitment we need right now.And with your help, it's a commitment we can make.Thank you.

第三篇：奧巴馬演講

Thank you.(Applause.)Thank you very much.Everybody, please have a seat.Well, Madam President, that was an outstanding introduction.(Laughter.)We are so proud of Donae for representing this school so well.And in addition, I also want to acknowledge your outstanding principal, who has been here for 20 years--first as a teacher, now as an outstanding principal--Anita Berger.Please give her a big round of applause.(Applause.)I want to acknowledge, as well, Mayor Gray is here--the mayor of Washington, D.C.is here.Please give him a big round of applause.(Applause.)And I also want to thank somebody who is going to go down in history as one of the finest Secretaries of Education that we’ve ever had--Arne Duncan is here.(Applause.)

Now, it is great to be here at Benjamin Banneker High School, one of the best high schools not only in Washington, D.C., but one of the best high schools in the country.(Applause.)But we’ve also got students tuning in from all across America.And so I want to welcome you all to the new school year, although I know that many of you already have been in school for a while.I know that here at Banneker, you’ve been back at school for a few weeks now.So everything is starting to settle in, just like for all your peers all across the country.The fall sports season is underway.Musicals and marching band routines are starting to shape up, I believe.And your first big tests and projects are probably just around the corner.I know that you’ve also got a great deal going on outside of school.Your circle of friends might be changing a little bit.Issues that used to stay confined to hallways or locker rooms are now finding their way onto Facebook and Twitter.(Laughter.)Some of your families might also be feeling the strain of the economy.As many of you know, we’re going through one of the toughest economic times that we’ve gone through in our lifetime--in my lifetime.Your lifetime hasn’t been that long.And so, as a consequence, you might have to pick up an after-school job to help out your family, or maybe you’re babysitting for a younger sibling because mom or dad is working an extra shift.So all of you have a lot on your plates.You guys are growing up faster and interacting with a wider world in a way that old folks like me, frankly, just didn’t have to.So today, I don’t want to be just another adult who stands up and lectures you like you’re just kids--because you’re not just kids.You’re this country’s future.You’re young leaders.And whether we fall behind or race ahead as a nation is going to depend in large part on you.So I want to talk to you a little bit about meeting that responsibility.It starts, obviously, with being the best student that you can be.Now, that doesn’t always mean that you have to have a perfect score on every assignment.It doesn’t mean that you’ve got to get straight As all the time--although that’s not a bad goal to have.It means that you have to stay at it.You have to be determined and you have to persevere.It means you’ve got to work as hard as you know how to work.And it means that you’ve got to take some risks once in a while.You can’t avoid the class that you think might be hard because you’re worried about getting the best grade if that’s a subject that you think you need to prepare you for your future.You’ve got to wonder.You’ve got to question.You’ve got to explore.And every once in a while, you need to color outside of the lines.That’s what school is for: discovering new passions, acquiring new skills, making use of this incredible time that you have to prepare yourself and give yourself the skills that you’re going to need to pursue the kind of careers that you want.And that’s why when you’re still a student you can explore a wide range of possibilities.One hour you can be an artist;the next, an author;the next, a scientist, or a historian, or a carpenter.This is the time where you can try out new interests and test new ideas.And the more you do, the sooner you’ll figure out what makes you come alive, what stirs you, what makes you excited--the career that you want to pursue.Now, if you promise not to tell anybody, I will let you in on a little secret: I was not always the very best student that I could be when I was in high school, and certainly not when I was in middle school.I did not love every class I took.I wasn’t always paying attention the way I should have.I remember when I was in 8th grade I had to take a class called ethics.Now, ethics is about right and wrong, but if you’d ask me what my favorite subject was back in 8th grade, it was basketball.I don’t think ethics would have made it on the list.But here’s the interesting thing.I still remember that ethics class, all these years later.I remember the way it made me think.I remember being asked questions like: What matters in life? Or, what does it mean to treat other people with dignity and respect? What does it mean to live in a diverse nation, where not everybody looks like you do, or thinks like you do, or comes from the same neighborhood as you do? How do we figure out how to get along?

Each of these questions led to new questions.And I didn’t always know the right answers, but those discussions and that process of discovery--those things have lasted.Those things are still with me today.Every day, I’m thinking about those same issues as I try to lead this nation.I’m asking the same kinds of questions about, how do we as a diverse nation come together to achieve what we need to achieve? How do we make sure that every single person is treated with dignity and respect? What responsibilities do we have to people who are less fortunate than we are? How do we make sure that everybody is included in this family of Americans?

Those are all questions that date back to this class that I took back in 8th grade.And here’s the thing: I still don’t always know the answers to all these questions.But if I’d have just tuned out because the class sounded boring, I might have missed out on something that not only did I turn out enjoying, but has ended up serving me in good stead for the rest of my life.So that’s a big part of your responsibility, is to test things out.Take risks.Try new things.Work hard.Don’t be embarrassed if you’re not good at something right away.You’re not supposed to be good at everything right away.That’s why you’re in school.The idea, though, is, is that you keep on expanding your horizons and your sense of possibility.Now is the time for you to do that.And those are also, by the way, the things that will make school more fun.Down the road, those will be the traits that will help you succeed, as well--the traits that will lead you to invent a device that makes an iPad look like a stone tablet.Or what will help you figure out a way to use the sun and the wind to power a city and give us new energy sources that are less polluting.Or maybe you’ll write the next great American novel.Now, to do almost any of those things, you have to not only graduate from high school,--and I know I’m just--I’m in the “amen” corner with Principal Berger here--not only do you have to graduate from high school, but you’re going to have to continue education after you leave.You have to not only graduate, but you’ve got to keep going after you graduate.That might mean, for many of you, a four-year university.I was just talking to Donae, and she wants to be an architect, and she’s interning with a architectural firm, and she’s already got her sights set on what school she wants to go to.But it might, for some other folks, be a community college, or professional credentialing or training.But the fact of the matter is, is that more than 60 percent of the jobs in the next decade will require more than a high school diploma--more than 60 percent.That’s the world you’re walking into.So I want all of you to set a goal to continue your education after you graduate.And if that means college for you, just getting into college is not enough.You also have to graduate.One of the biggest challenges we have right now is that too many of our young people enroll in college but don’t actually end up getting their degree, and as a consequence--our country used to have the world’s highest proportion of young people with a college degree;we now rank 16th.I don't like being 16th.I like being number one.That’s not good enough.So we’ve got to use--we’ve got to make sure your generation gets us back to the top of having the most college graduates relative to the population of any country on Earth.If we do that, you guys will have a brighter future.And so will America.We’ll be able to make sure the newest inventions and the latest breakthroughs happen right here in the United States of America.It will mean better jobs, and more fulfilling lives, and greater opportunities not only for you, but also for your kids.So I don’t want anybody who’s listening here today to think that you’re done once you finish high school.You are not done learning.In fact, what’s happening in today’s economy is--it’s all about lifelong learning.You have to constantly upgrade your skills and find new ways of doing things.Even if college isn't for you, even if a four-year college isn't for you, you’re still going to have to get more education after you get out of high school.You’ve got to start expecting big things from yourself right now.I know that may sound a little intimidating.And some of you may be wondering how you can pay for college, or you might not know what you want to do with your life yet.And that’s okay.Nobody expects you to have your entire future mapped out at this point.And we don't expect you to have to make it on your own.First of all, you’ve got wonderful parents who love you to death and want you to have a lot more opportunity than they ever had--which, by the way, means don’t give them a hard time when they ask you to turn off the video games, turn off the TV and do some homework.You need to be listening to them.I speak from experience because that’s what I’ve been telling Malia and Sasha.Don’t be mad about it, because we’re thinking about your future.You’ve also got people all across this country--including myself and Arne and people at every level of government--who are working on your behalf.We’re taking every step we can to ensure that you’re getting an educational system that is worthy of your potential.We’re working to make sure that you have the most up-to-date schools with the latest tools of learning.We’re making sure that this country’s colleges and universities are affordable and accessible to you.We’re working to get the best class--teachers into the classroom as well, so they can help you prepare for college and a future career.Let me say something about teachers, by the way.Teachers are the men and women who might be working harder than just about anybody these days.(Applause.)Whether you go to a big school or a small one, whether you attend a public or a private or charter school –-your teachers are giving up their weekends;they’re waking up at dawn;they’re cramming their days full of classes and extra-curricular activities.And then they’re going home, eating some dinner, and then they’ve got to stay up sometimes past midnight, grading your papers and correcting your grammar, and making sure you got that algebra formula properly.And they don’t do it for a fancy office.They don’t--they sure don’t do it for the big salary.They do it for you.They do it because nothing gives them more satisfaction than seeing you learn.They live for those moments when something clicks;when you amaze them with your intellect or your vocabulary, or they see what kind of person you’re becoming.And they’re proud of you.And they say, I had something to do with that, that wonderful young person who is going to succeed.They have confidence in you that you will be citizens and leaders who take us into tomorrow.They know you’re our future.So your teachers are pouring everything they got into you, and they’re not alone.But I also want to emphasize this: With all the challenges that our country is facing right now, we don’t just need you for the future;we actually need you now.America needs young people’s passion and their ideas.We need your energy right now.I know you’re up to it because I’ve seen it.Nothing inspires me more than knowing that young people all across the country are already making their marks.They’re not waiting.They’re making a difference now.There are students like Will Kim from Fremont, California, who launched a nonprofit that gives loans to students from low-income schools who want to start their own business.Think about that.So he’s giving loans to other students.He set up a non-for-profit.He’s raising the money doing what he loves--through dodgeball tournaments and capture-the-flag games.But he’s creative.He took initiative.And now he’s helping other young people be able to afford the schooling that they need.There is a young man, Jake Bernstein, 17 years old, from a military family in St.Louis, worked with his sister to launch a website devoted to community service for young people.And they’ve held volunteer fairs and put up an online database, and helped thousands of families to find volunteer opportunities ranging from maintaining nature trails to serving at local hospitals.And then last year, I met a young woman named Amy Chyao from Richardson, Texas.She’s 16 years old, so she’s the age of some of you here.During the summer, I think because somebody in her family had an illness, she decided that she was interested in cancer research.She hadn’t taken chemistry yet, so she taught herself chemistry during the summer.And then she applied what she had learned and discovered a breakthrough process that uses light to kill cancer cells.Sixteen years old.It’s incredible.And she's been approached by some doctors and researchers who want to work with her to help her with her discovery.The point is you don’t have to wait to make a difference.You’re first obligation is to do well in school.You’re first obligation is to make sure that you’re preparing yourself for college and career.But you can also start making your mark right now.A lot of times young people may have better ideas than us old people do anyway.We just need those ideas out in the open, in and out of the classroom.When I meet young people like yourselves, when I sat and talk to Donae, I have no doubt that America’s best days are still ahead of us, because I know the potential that lies in each of you.Soon enough, you will be the ones leading our businesses and leading our government.You will be the one who are making sure that the next generation gets what they need to succeed.You will be the ones that are charting the course of our unwritten history.And all that starts right now--starts this year.So I want all of you who are listening, as well as everybody here at Banneker, I want you to make the most of the year that’s ahead of you.I want you to think of this time as one in which you are just loading up with information and skills, and you’re trying new things and you’re practicing, and you’re honing--all those things that you’re going to need to do great things when you get out of school.Your country is depending on you.So set your sights high.Have a great school year.Let’s get to work.Thank you very much, everybody.God bless you.God bless the United States of America.(Applause.)

Washington D.C.Recently, there have been signs that the economy is picking up steam.Last month, we saw the strongest job growth in five years, and have added more than three-quarters of a million private sector jobs in just three months.But there are still too many Americans who are either looking for work, or struggling to pay the bills and make the mortgage.Paychecks aren’t getting any bigger, but the cost of everything from groceries to college tuition keeps on rising.Without a doubt, one of the biggest burdens over the last few months has been the price of gasoline.In many places, gas is now more than $4 a gallon, meaning that you could be paying more than $60 to fill up your tank.These spikes in gas prices are often temporary, and while there are no quick fixes to the problem, there are a few steps we should take that make good sense.First, we should make sure that no one is taking advantage of consumers at the pump.That’s why we’ve launched a task force led by the Attorney General that has one job: rooting out cases of fraud or manipulation in the markets that might affect gas prices, including any illegal activity by traders and speculators.Second, we should increase safe and responsible oil production here at home.Last year, America’s oil production reached its highest level since 2003.But I believe that we should expand oil production in America – even as we increase safety and environmental standards.To do this, I am directing the Department of Interior to conduct annual lease sales in Alaska’s National Petroleum Reserve, while respecting sensitive areas, and to speed up the evaluation of oil and gas resources in the mid and south Atlantic.We plan to lease new areas in the Gulf of Mexico as well, and work to create new incentives for industry to develop their unused leases both on and offshore.We’re also taking steps to give companies time to meet higher safety standards when it comes to exploration and drilling.That’s why my Administration is extending drilling leases in areas of the Gulf that were impacted by the temporary moratorium, as well as certain areas off the coast of Alaska.And to streamline that permitting process, I am establishing a new team to coordinate work on Alaska drilling permits.Finally, the third step we should take is to eliminate the taxpayer subsidies we give to oil and gas companies.In the last few months, the biggest oil companies made about $4 billion in profits each week.And yet, they get $4 billion in taxpayer subsidies each year.Four billion dollars at a time when Americans can barely fill up their tanks.Four billion dollars at a time when we’re trying to reduce our deficit.This isn’t fair, it makes no sense.Before I was President, the CEOs of these companies even admitted that the tax subsidies made no sense.Well, next week, there is a vote in Congress to end these oil company giveaways once and for all.And I hope Democrats and Republicans come together and get this done.The American people shouldn’t be subsidizing oil companies at a time when they’re making near-record profits.As a nation, we should be investing in the clean, renewable sources of energy that are the ultimate solution to high-gas prices.That’s why we’re investing in clean energy technology, helping businesses that manufacture solar panels and wind turbines, and making sure that our cars and trucks can go further on a tank of gas – a step that could save families as much as $3,000 at the pump.These are investments worth making – investments that will save us money, reduce our dependence on foreign oil, and protect the health and safety of our planet.That’s an energy policy for the future, and it’s what I’ll be fighting for in the weeks and months to come.Thanks.

第五篇：奧巴馬演講

奧巴馬演講:為未來(lái)清潔能源投資

來(lái)源:http:// Hi, everybody.I’m speaking to you this week from a factory in Petersburg, Virginia, where they’re bringing on more than 100 new workers to build parts for the next generation of jet engines.It’s a story that’s happening more frequently across the country.Our businesses just added 233,000 jobs last month – for a total of nearly four million new jobs over the last two years.More companies are choosing to bring jobs back and invest in America.Manufacturing is adding jobs for the first time since the 1990s, and we’re building more things to sell to the rest of the world stamped with three proud words: Made in America.And it’s not just that we’re building stuff.We’re building better stuff.The engine parts manufactured here in Petersburg will go into next-generation planes that are lighter, faster, and more fuel-efficient.That last part is important.Because whether you’re paying for a plane ticket, or filling up your gas tank, technology that helps us get more miles to the gallon is one of the easiest ways to save money and reduce our dependence on foreign oil.The recent spike in gas prices has been another painful reminder of why we have to invest in this technology.As usual, politicians have been rolling out their three-point plans for two-dollar gas: drill, drill, and drill some more.Well, my response is, we have been drilling.Under my Administration, oil production in America is at an eight-year high.We’ve quadrupled the number of operating oil rigs, and opened up millions of acres for drilling.But you and I both know that with only 2% of the world’s oil reserves, we can’t just drill our way to lower gas prices – not when consume 20 percent of the world’s oil.We need an all-of-the-above strategy that relies less on foreign oil and more on American-made energy – solar, wind, natural gas, biofuels, and more.That’s the strategy we’re pursuing.It’s why I went to a plant in North Carolina earlier this week, where they’re making trucks that run on natural gas, and hybrid trucks that go further on a single tank.And it’s why I’ve been focused on fuel efficient cars since the day I took office.Over the last few years, the annual number of miles driven by Americans has stayed roughly the same, but the total amount of gas we use has been going down.In other words, we’re getting more bang for our buck.If we accelerate that trend, we can help drivers save a significant amount of money.That’s why, after 30 years of inaction, we finally put in place new standards that will make sure our cars average nearly 55 miles per gallon by the middle of the next decade – nearly double what they get today.This wasn’t easy: we had to bring together auto companies, and unions, and folks who don’t ordinarily see eye to eye.But it was worth it.Because these cars aren’t some pie in the sky solution that’s years away.They’re being built right now – by American workers, in factories right here in the U.S.A.Every year, our cars and trucks will be able to go further and use less fuel, and pretty soon, you’ll be able to fill up every two weeks instead of every week – something that, over time, will save the typical family more than $8,000 at the pump.We’ll reduce our oil consumption by more than 12 billion barrels.That’s a future worth investing in.So we have a choice.Right now, some folks in Washington would rather spend another $4 billion on subsidies to oil companies each year.Well you know what? We’ve been handing out these kinds of taxpayer giveaways for nearly a century.And outside of Congress, does anyone really think that’s still a good idea? I want this Congress to stop the giveaways to an oil industry that’s never been more profitable, and invest in a clean energy industry that’s never been more promising.We should be investing in the technology that’s building the cars and trucks and jets that will prevent us from dealing with these high gas prices year after year after year.Ending this cycle of rising gas prices won’t be easy, and it won’t happen overnight.But that’s why you sent us to Washington – to solve tough problems like this one.So I’m going to keep doing everything I can to help you save money on gas, both right now and in the future.I hope politicians from both sides of the aisle join me.Let’s put aside the bumper-sticker slogans, remember why we’re here, and get things done for the American people.Thank you, God bless you, and have a great weekend.大家好。本周我來(lái)到了維吉尼亞州匹茲堡市的一家工廠(chǎng)，這家工廠(chǎng)帶來(lái)了100多個(gè)新的工作崗位，他們正在生產(chǎn)下一代噴氣發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)的零部件。

這樣的景象在全國(guó)各地不斷涌現(xiàn)。上個(gè)月我們的企業(yè)又新增23.3萬(wàn)個(gè)就業(yè)崗位，過(guò)去兩年總共新增約400萬(wàn)個(gè)就業(yè)崗位。越來(lái)越多的企業(yè)選擇回國(guó)投資并將工作崗位帶回來(lái)。制造業(yè)也從上世紀(jì)90年代以來(lái)首次增加就業(yè)崗位，我們制造的產(chǎn)品被銷(xiāo)往世界各地，產(chǎn)品上印著讓我們自豪的四個(gè)字：美國(guó)制造。

我們不僅僅是正在制造一些東西，我們是在制造更棒的東西。在匹茲堡這里生產(chǎn)的引擎零部件將用于下一代的更輕、更快、更節(jié)省燃料的飛機(jī)上。

最后一個(gè)特點(diǎn)很重要。因?yàn)闊o(wú)論你是買(mǎi)機(jī)票還是給自己的汽車(chē)加油，提高單位燃料的行駛里程是幫助我們節(jié)約支出和降低對(duì)海外石油依賴(lài)的最直接的方式。而最近油價(jià)的上漲也深深刺痛著我們，我們必須在這一技術(shù)上進(jìn)行投資。一些政客一直在兜售他們實(shí)現(xiàn)2美元油價(jià)的三項(xiàng)計(jì)劃：開(kāi)采、開(kāi)采以及更多的開(kāi)采。好吧，我的回應(yīng)是，我們一直都在開(kāi)采。在政府領(lǐng)導(dǎo)下，美國(guó)國(guó)內(nèi)的石油產(chǎn)量處在8年來(lái)的最高點(diǎn)。我們開(kāi)放了數(shù)百萬(wàn)英畝的開(kāi)采區(qū)域，正在運(yùn)轉(zhuǎn)的石油鉆井平臺(tái)也增加了4倍。但你我都知道我們僅僅擁有2%的世界石油儲(chǔ)量，我們不能單獨(dú)依靠開(kāi)采來(lái)降低油價(jià)，何況我們還消費(fèi)了全球20%的石油。我們需要一個(gè)最高的能源戰(zhàn)略，減少我們對(duì)海外石油的依賴(lài)，更多使用國(guó)產(chǎn)能源：太陽(yáng)能、風(fēng)能、天然氣以及生物燃料等等。

這才是我們追求的戰(zhàn)略。這也是我本周早些時(shí)候到訪(fǎng)北卡的一家工廠(chǎng)的原因，那里的工人們正在生產(chǎn)使用天然氣的卡車(chē)，混合動(dòng)力卡車(chē)用一箱油能行駛的更遠(yuǎn)。

這也是我自主政以來(lái)就一直關(guān)注高能效汽車(chē)的原因。在過(guò)去的幾年里，美國(guó)人每年的汽車(chē)行駛里程基本保持不變，但總的汽油消耗量在不斷下降。換句話(huà)說(shuō)，我們花同樣的錢(qián)，得到的利益增加了。如果我們加速推進(jìn)這一趨勢(shì)，我們就可以幫助駕駛員們節(jié)約一筆可觀(guān)的費(fèi)用。這也是我們實(shí)施新的能效標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的原因，老的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)還是30年前制定的，這樣我們能在未來(lái)15年內(nèi)實(shí)現(xiàn)汽車(chē)平均用1加侖汽油行駛55英里的目標(biāo)，這是現(xiàn)狀的兩倍。實(shí)現(xiàn)這一目標(biāo)并不容易，我們需要將汽車(chē)生產(chǎn)廠(chǎng)家、產(chǎn)業(yè)聯(lián)盟以及意見(jiàn)并不一致的人們團(tuán)結(jié)到一起。但這么做是值得的。

因?yàn)檫@樣的汽車(chē)并不像前幾年那樣還是空中樓閣。我們的工人，國(guó)內(nèi)的工廠(chǎng)現(xiàn)在正在生產(chǎn)這樣的汽車(chē)。每年，我們的汽車(chē)、卡車(chē)都能用更少的油跑的更遠(yuǎn)，很快，你們將能每?jī)芍芗右淮斡投挥妹恐芏既ゼ佑驼尽＿@樣假以時(shí)日，將為一般家庭在油費(fèi)支出上節(jié)省8000多美元。我們將減少超過(guò)120億桶的石油消費(fèi)量。這是值得我們投資的未來(lái)。因此，我們要做出選擇。但現(xiàn)在華盛頓的一些人卻寧愿每年花40億美元給石油公司提供補(bǔ)貼。你們可知道。我們已經(jīng)用納稅人的錢(qián)給它們提供了將近一個(gè)世紀(jì)的補(bǔ)貼了。在國(guó)會(huì)之外，難道就有人真的認(rèn)為這是個(gè)好主意嗎？我希望國(guó)會(huì)終止對(duì)石油產(chǎn)業(yè)的補(bǔ)貼，它們的利潤(rùn)已經(jīng)高的不能再高了，我們應(yīng)該把這些錢(qián)投資到更有希望的清潔能源產(chǎn)業(yè)上。我們應(yīng)該投資于生產(chǎn)高能效汽車(chē)、卡車(chē)和飛機(jī)的技術(shù)上，避免我們年復(fù)一年的受高油價(jià)的麻煩。

走出不斷上漲的油價(jià)這一惡性循環(huán)并不容易，也不能在一夜間完成。但這正是你們選擇我們來(lái)到華盛頓的原因，我們就是來(lái)解決這樣的難題的。因此我將繼續(xù)竭盡所能幫助我們節(jié)約油費(fèi)支出，現(xiàn)在如此將來(lái)亦如此。我希望兩黨的政客們都能與我一道。讓我們把空洞的口號(hào)放置一邊，牢記使命，為美國(guó)人民把事情做好。謝謝，上帝保佑大家，祝大家周末愉快。
