第一篇：奧巴馬歡迎胡錦濤講話(英文)大全

PRESIDENT OBAMA: Good morning, everyone.President Hu, members of the Chinese delegation, on behalf of Michelle and myself, welcome to the White House.And on behalf of the American people, welcome to the United States.Three decades ago, on a January day like this, another American President stood here and welcomed another Chinese leader for the historic normalization of relations between the United States and the People’s Republic of China.On that day, Deng Xiaoping spoke of the great possibilities of cooperation between our two nations.Looking back on that winter day in 1979, it is now clear.The previous 30 years had been a time of estrangement for our two countries.The 30 years since have been a time of growing exchanges and understanding.And with this visit we can lay the foundation for the next 30 years.At a time when some doubt the benefits of cooperation between the United States and China, this visit is also a chance to demonstrate a simple truth.We have an enormous stake in each other’s success.In an interconnected world, in a global economy, nations--including our own--will be more prosperous and more secure when we work together.The United States welcomes China’s rise as a strong, prosperous and successful member of the community of nations.Indeed, China’s success has brought with it economic benefits for our people as well as yours, and our cooperation on a range of issues has helped advance stability in the Asia Pacific and in the world.We also know this: History shows that societies are more harmonious, nations are more successful, and the world is more just, when the rights and responsibilities of all nations and all people are upheld, including the universal rights of every human being.Mr.President, we can learn from our people.Chinese and American students and educators, business people, tourists, researchers and scientists, including Chinese Americans who are here today —-they work together and make progress together every single day.They know that even as our nations compete in some areas, we can cooperate in so many others, in a spirit of mutual respect, for our mutual benefit.What Deng Xiaoping said long ago remains true today.There are still great possibilities for cooperation between our countries.President Hu, members of the Chinese delegation, let us seize these possibilities together.Welcome to the United States of America.Hwan-ying.(Applause.)

PRESIDENT HU:(As translated.)Mr.President, Mrs.Obama, ladies and gentlemen, dear friends, it gives me great pleasure to come to Washington and pay a state visit to the United States at the beginning of the new year, at the invitation of President Obama.At this point in time, let me extend, on behalf of the 1.3 billion Chinese people, sincere greetings and best wishes to the people of the United States.I have come to the United States to increase mutual trust, enhance friendship, deepen cooperation, and push forward the positive, cooperative, and comprehensive China-U.S.relationship for the 21st century.Over the past 32 years, since the establishment of diplomatic ties, the China-U.S.relationship has grown into one with strategic significance and global influence.Since President Obama took office, with concerted efforts of the two sides, our cooperation in various fields has produced fruitful results and our relations have achieved new progress.This has brought real benefits to our two peoples, and contributed greatly to world peace and development.As we enter the second decade of the 21st century, the people of both China and the United States want to see further progress in our relations and people around the globe want to see greater prosperity in the world.Under the new circumstances, and in the face of new challenges, China and the United States share broad common interests and important common responsibilities.We should adopt a long-term perspective, seek common ground while resolving differences, and work together to achieve sustained, sound, and steady development of our relations.I hope that through this visit, our two countries will advance the positive, cooperative, and comprehensive relationship, and open a new chapter in our cooperation as partners.Our cooperation as partners should be based on mutual respect.We live in an increasingly diverse and colorful world.China and the United States should respect each other’s choice of development path and each other’s core interests.We should deepen mutual understanding through communication, increase mutual trust through dialogue, and expand common ground through exchanges.Our cooperation as partners should be based on mutual benefit.China’s future and destiny are increasingly tied to those of the world and China-U.S.relations have become closer.Our two countries should seek to learn from each other through exchanges and achieve win-win progress through cooperation.This is the right approach for us to develop our relations.Our cooperation as partners should be based on joint efforts to meet challenges.China and the United States should step up communication and coordination in international affairs, work together to counter the global challenges, and make a greater contribution to world peace and development.Our cooperation as partners should be based on the extensive involvement of the people.The Chinese and American people cherish deep friendship towards each other, and they fought side by side at defining moments in history when the future and the destiny of mankind were at stake.The two peoples should extend exchanges and enhance friendship.This will offer a inexhaustible driving force for the growth of our relations.Ladies and gentlemen, our world today is undergoing major development, major changes and major adjustments.To pursue peace, development and cooperation is the irresistible trend of our time.Let us seize the opportunity to forge ahead, hand in hand, and work together to enhance cooperation as partners, and let us work with all other countries to build a harmonious world of lasting peace and common prosperity.Thank you once again, Mr.President, for your warm welcome.(Applause.)

PRESIDENT OBAMA: Thank you very much.Thank you.?: http://

第二篇：胡錦濤和奧巴馬講話

胡錦濤在白宮南草坪歡迎儀式上的致辭

總統先生，奧巴馬夫人，女士們，先生們，朋友們：

很高興應奧巴馬總統邀請，在一元復始的時節來到華盛頓，對美國進行國事訪問。此時此刻，我謹代表１３億中國人民，向美國人民致以誠摯的問候和良好的祝愿！

我這次訪問美國，是為增進互信、加強友誼、深化合作、推動２１世紀積極合作全面的中美關系繼續向前發展而來。

中美建交３２年來，兩國關系已經成長為具有戰略意義和全球影響的雙邊關系。奧巴馬總統就職以來，在雙方共同努力下，兩國各領域合作成果豐碩，中美關系得到新的發展，為兩國人民帶來了實實在在的利益，為世界和平與發展作出了重要貢獻。

在２１世紀第二個十年開始之際，中美兩國人民都期待中美關系發展得更好，各國人民都期待世界發展得更好。面對新形勢新挑戰，中美兩國擁有廣泛的共同利益，肩負著重要的共同責任。我們應該登高望遠、求同存異，共同推動中美關系長期健康穩定發展。我希望通過這次訪問，推進積極合作全面的中美關系，開啟兩國伙伴合作新篇章。

——中美伙伴合作應該基于相互尊重。我們生活在一個越來越豐富多彩的世界之中。中美兩國要尊重彼此對發展道路的選擇，尊重對方核心利益，通過溝通加深了解，通過對話增進互信，通過交流擴大共識。

——中美伙伴合作應該基于互利共贏。中國的前途命運日益緊密地同世界的前途命運聯系在一起，中美交往更加緊密，交流互鑒應該成為我們的共同選擇，合作共贏應該成為我們的相處之道。

——中美伙伴合作應該基于共迎挑戰。中美兩國應該就國際事務加強溝通和協調，合作應對各種全球性挑戰，為世界和平與發展作出更大貢獻。

——中美伙伴合作應該基于人民廣泛參與。中美兩國人民相互懷有深厚的友好感情，曾經在決定人類前途命運的重大歷史關頭并肩戰斗。兩國人民應該擴大交往、加強友誼，為中美關系發展提供不竭動力。女士們、先生們！

當今世界正處在大發展大變革大調整時期，求和平、謀發展、促合作已經成為不可阻擋的時代潮流。讓我們抓住機遇、攜手前行，共同加強中美伙伴合作，同世界各國一道推動建設持久和平、共同繁榮的和諧世界。

再次感謝總統先生對我們的熱烈歡迎

PRESIDENT OBAMA: Thank you very much.Thank you.奧巴馬歡迎詞

各位早上好。尊敬的胡錦濤主席，尊敬的各位中國代表團成員，我謹代表米歇爾和我本人歡迎各位來到白宮。同時我代表美國人民，歡迎各位來到美國。

三十年前，也是在寒冷的一月，另一位美國總統卡特站在這里，歡迎中國領導人鄧小平的到來。那次會面是一個歷史性的突破，美中實現了兩國邦交正常化。就在那一天，鄧小平談到了美中兩國之間相互合作的巨大可能。

此刻回顧1979年的那個冬日，我們已然明了。在那之前的30年，美中兩國隔閡疏遠。而自那以來的30年，兩國不斷增進交流與理解。此次胡錦濤主席訪美之行則是我們雙方為未來三十年奠定基礎的契機。

在美中合作的裨益遭到質疑之際，這次會面也是一個很好的機會，可以展示一個簡單的道理。我們雙方都從彼此的成功中獲益良多。在一個相互聯系的世界，在經濟全球化的時代，包括美中兩國在內的世界各國會因彼此合作而更加繁榮、安全。

美國歡迎中國崛起，成為國際社會強大、繁榮、成功的一員。事實上，中國的成功為中美兩國人民帶來了巨大的經濟利益，中美兩國在一系列問題上的合作有助于維護亞太地區乃至全球的和平穩定。

我們也都知道：歷史表明，當所有國家、所有人民的權利得以保障、義務得以履行，當每個人的普遍權利得到維護，社會將更加和諧，國家更加成功，世界更加公正。

尊敬的胡錦濤主席，我們可以向兩國人民學習。中美兩國的學生和教育工作者、商人、旅行者、研究人員、科學家，也包括今天到場的華裔美國人，他們攜手合作，每一天都取得共同進步。他們知道，即使中美兩國在某些領域存在競爭，他們依然可以在其它領域，以相互尊重的精神，互惠互利的共識來攜手合作。

鄧小平多年前說過的話在今天依然適用。中美兩國依然存在巨大的合作空間。尊敬的胡錦濤主席和中國代表團成員，讓我們共同把握機會。歡迎來到美利堅合眾國。歡迎（中文）。

PRESIDENT OBAMA: Good morning, everyone.President Hu, members of the Chinese delegation, on behalf of Michelle and myself, welcome to the White House.And on behalf of the American people, welcome to the United States.Three decades ago, on a January day like this, another American President stood here and welcomed another Chinese leader for the historic normalization of relations between the United States and the People’s Republic of China.On that day, Deng Xiaoping spoke of the great possibilities of cooperation between our two nations.Looking back on that winter day in 1979, it is now clear.The previous 30 years had been a time of estrangement for our two countries.The 30 years since have been a time of growing exchanges and understanding.And with this visit we can lay the foundation for the next 30 years.At a time when some doubt the benefits of cooperation between the United States and China, this visit is also a chance to demonstrate a simple truth.We have an enormous stake in each other’s success.In an interconnected world, in a global economy, nations--including our own--will be more prosperous and more secure when we work together.The United States welcomes China’s rise as a strong, prosperous and successful member of the community of nations.Indeed, China’s success has brought with it economic benefits for our people as well as yours, and our cooperation on a range of issues has helped advance stability in the Asia Pacific and in the world.We also know this: History shows that societies are more harmonious, nations are more successful, and the world is more just, when the rights and responsibilities of all nations and all people are upheld, including the universal rights of every human being.Mr.President, we can learn from our people.Chinese and American students and educators, business people, tourists, researchers and scientists, including Chinese Americans who are here today —-they work together and make progress together every single day.They know that even as our nations compete in some areas, we can cooperate in so many others, in a spirit of mutual respect, for our mutual benefit.What Deng Xiaoping said long ago remains true today.There are still great possibilities for cooperation between our countries.President Hu, members of the Chinese delegation, let us seize these possibilities together.Welcome to the United States of America.Hwan-ying.(Applause.)

第三篇：奧巴馬父親節英文講話

Hi, everybody.Sunday is Father's Day.If you haven't got Dad a gift yet, there's still time.Just barely.But the truth is, what we give our fathers can never match what our fathers give us.I know how important it is to have a dad in your life, because I grew up without my father around.I felt the weight of his absence.So for Michelle and our girls, I try every day to be the husband and father my family didn't have when I was young.And every chance I get, I

encourage fathers to get more involved in their children's lives, because what makes you a man isn't the ability to have a child – it's the courage to raise one.Still, over the past couple years, I've met with a lot of young people who don't have a father figure around.And while there's nothing that can replace a parent, any of us can do our part to be a mentor, a sounding board, a role model for a kid who needs one.Earlier this year, I launched an initiative called My Brother's Keeper – an

all-hands-on-deck effort to help more of our young men reach their full potential.And if you want to be a mentor to a young man in your community, you can find out how at

WhiteHouse.gov/MyBrothersKeeper.Now, when I launched this initiative, I said that government can't play the primary role in a young person's life.Taking responsibility for being a great parent or mentor is a choice that we, as individuals, have to make.No government

program can ever take the place of a parent's love.Still, as a country, there are ways we can help support dads and moms who make that choice.That's why, earlier this week, we brought working dads from across America to the White House to talk about the challenges they face.And in a few weeks, I'll hold the

first-ever White House Working Families Summit.We've still got too many workplace policies that belong in the 1950s, and it's time to bring them up to date for today's families, where oftentimes, both parents are working.Moms and dads deserve affordable child care, and time off to care for a sick parent or child without running into hardship.Women deserve equal pay for equal work – and at a time when more women are breadwinners for a family, that benefits men, too.And because no parent who works full-time should have to raise a family in poverty, it's time for

Congress to follow the lead of state after state, get on the bandwagon, and give America a raise.Dads work hard.So our country should do what we can to make sure their hard work pays off;to make sure life for them and their families is a little less stressful, and a little more secure, so they can be the dads their kids need them to be.Because there's nothing more precious in life than the time we spend with our children.There's no better feeling than knowing that we can be there for them, and provide for them, and help give them every shot at success.Let's make sure every dad who works hard and takes

responsibility has the chance to know that feeling, not just on one Sunday, but every day of the year.Thanks everybody, happy Father's Day, and have a great weekend.

第四篇：2011胡錦濤訪美 奧巴馬白宮歡迎致辭[最終版]

Speech at the Official Welcoming Ceremony for President Hu Jintao

Good morning, everyone.President Hu, members of the Chinese delegation, on behalf of Michelle and myself, welcome to the White House.And on behalf of the American people, welcome to the United States.大家早上好！胡主席、中國代表團成員們，我謹代表米歇爾和我自己歡迎你們來到白宮，并代表美國人民歡迎你們來到美國。

Three decades ago, on a January day like this,another American President stood here and welcomed another Chinese leader for the historic normalization of relations between the United States and the People’s Republic of China.On that day, Deng Xiaoping spoke of the great possibilities of cooperation between our two nations.30年前，在像今天這樣的一個1月的日子里，另一位美國總統站在這里歡迎另一位中國領導人，標志著美國和中華人民共和國關系正常化的歷史時刻。在那一天，鄧小平談到了我們兩國間巨大的合作機會。

Looking back on that winter day in 1979,it is now clear.The previous 30 years had been a time of estrangement for our two countries.The 30 years since have been a time of growing exchanges and understanding.And with this visit we can lay the foundation for the next 30 years.回首1979年那個冬日，現在一切都非常清晰。在那之前的30年是我們兩國關系的僵持時期。在那之后的30年是交流與理解不斷發展的時期。胡主席的此次訪問能夠讓我們為未來30年奠定基礎。

At a time when some doubt the benefits of cooperation between the United States and China,this visit is also a chance to demonstrate a simple truth.We have an enormous stake in each other’s success.In an interconnected world,in a global economy,nationswill be more prosperous and more secure when we work together.正當有人懷疑美中兩國間的合作是否有利的時候展開的此次訪問，也提供了展示一個簡單事實的機會。我們與對方的成功利益攸關。在一個相互依存的世界、在全球經濟中，如果我們齊心協力，各國—包括我國—將會更加繁榮、更加安全。

The United States welcomes China’s rise as a strong, prosperous and successful member of the community of nations.Indeed,China’s success has brought with it economic benefits for our people as well as yours,and our cooperation on a range of issues has helped advance stability in the Asia Pacific and in the world.美國歡迎中國崛起成為國際大家庭中的一個強大、繁榮、成功的成員。事實上，中國的成功已經既給你們的人民，也給我國人民帶來了經濟好處；我們在一系列問題上的合作幫助增進了亞太地區和世界的穩定。

We also know this:History shows that societies are more harmonious,nations are more successful,and the world is more just,when the rights and responsibilities of all nations and all people are upheld,including the universal rights of every human being.我們也很清楚：歷史表明，當各國的權利和責任、各國人民的權利—包括每個人的普世權利—得到維護時，社會就更和諧、國家就更繁榮、世界就更公正。

Mr.President,we can learn from our people.Chinese and American students and educators,business people, tourists, researchers and scientists,including Chinese Americans who are here today —they work together and make progress together every single day.They know that even as our nations compete in some areas, we can cooperate in so many others, in a spirit of mutual respect,for our mutual benefit.主席先生，我們可以向我們的人民學習。中國和美國的學生和教育工作者、商界人士、旅游者、研究人員和科學家，包括今天在場的華裔美國人—他們一道努力，每天都在共同取得進步。他們知道，雖然我們兩國在某些領域相互競爭，但我們能夠在其他那么多領域本著相互尊重的精神，為著我們的共同利益而合作。

What Deng Xiaoping said long ago remains true today.There are still great possibilities for cooperation between our countries.President Hu,members of the Chinese delegation,let us seize these possibilities together.Welcome to the United States of America.Hwan-ying.鄧小平多年前所說的話今天依然正確。我們兩國之間仍然有著巨大的合作機會。胡主席、中國代表團成員們，讓我們共同抓住這些機會。歡迎你們來到美利堅合眾國，歡迎！

第五篇：奧巴馬英文演講

ello, everybody!Thank you.Thank you.Thank you, everybody.All right, everybody go ahead and have a seat.How is everybody doing today?(Applause.)How about Tim Spicer?(Applause.)I am here with students at Wakefield High School in Arlington, Virginia.And we’ve got students tuning in from all across America, from kindergarten through 12th grade.And I am just so glad that all could join us today.And I want to thank Wakefield for being such an outstanding host.Give yourselves a big round of applause.(Applause.)

大家好!謝謝你們。謝謝你們。謝謝你們大家。好，大家請就坐。你們今天都好嗎?(掌聲)蒂姆·斯派塞(Tim Spicer)好嗎?(掌聲)我現在與弗吉尼亞州阿靈頓郡韋克菲爾德高中的學生們在一起。美國各地從小學預備班到中學12年級的學生正在收聽收看。我很高興大家今天都能參與。我還要感謝韋克菲爾德高中出色的組織安排。請為你們自己熱烈鼓掌。(掌聲)

I know that for many of you, today is the first day of school.And for those of you in kindergarten, or starting middle or high school, it’s your first day in a new school, so it’s understandable if you’re a little nervous.I imagine there are some seniors out there who are feeling pretty good right now--(applause)--with just one more year to go.And no matter what grade you’re in, some of you are probably wishing it were still summer and you could’ve stayed in bed just a little bit longer this morning.我知道，今天是你們很多人開學的日子。對于進入小學預備班、初中或高中的學生，今天是你們來到新學校的第一天，心里可能有點緊張，這是可以理解的。我能想象有些畢業班學生現在感覺很不錯——(掌聲)——還有一年就畢業了。不論在哪個年級，你們有些人可能希望暑假更長一點，今天早上還能多睡一小會兒。

I know that feeling.When I was young, my family lived overseas.I lived in Indonesia for a few years.And my mother, she didn’t have the money to send me where all the American kids went to school, but she thought it was important for me to keep up with an American education.So she decided to teach me extra lessons herself, Monday through Friday.But because she had to go to work, the only time she could do it was at 4:30 in the morning.我了解這種感覺。我小時候，我們家生活在海外。我在印度尼西亞住了幾年。我媽媽沒有錢送我上其他美國孩子上的學校，但她認為必須讓我接受美式教育。因此，她決定從周一到周五自己給我補課。不過她還要上班，所以只能在清晨四點半給我上課。

Now, as you might imagine, I wasn’t too happy about getting up that early.And a lot of times, I’d fall asleep right there at the kitchen table.But whenever I’d complain, my mother would just give me one of those looks and she’d say, “This is no picnic for me either, buster.”(Laughter.)

你們可以想見，我不太情愿那么早起床。有很多次，我趴在餐桌上就睡著了。但每當我抱怨的時候，我媽媽都會那樣地看我一眼，然后說：“小子，這對我也并不輕松。”(笑聲)

So I know that some of you are still adjusting to being back at school.But I’m here today because I have something important to discuss with you.I’m here because I want to talk with you about your education and what’s expected of all of you in this new school year.我知道你們有些人還在適應開學后的生活。但我今天來到這里是因為有重要的事情要和你們說。我來這里是要和你們談談你們的教育問題，以及在這個新學年對你們所有人的期望。

Now, I’ve given a lot of speeches about education.And I’ve talked about responsibility a lot.我做過很多次有關教育問題的演講。我多次談到過責任問題。

I’ve talked about teachers’ responsibility for inspiring students and pushing you to learn.我談到過教師激勵學生并督促他們學習的責任。

I’ve talked about your parents’ responsibility for making sure you stay on track, and you get your homework done, and don’t spend every waking hour in front of the TV or with the Xbox.我談到過家長的責任，要確保你們走正路，完成家庭作業，不要整天坐在電視前或玩Xbox游戲。

I’ve talked a lot about your government’s responsibility for setting high standards, and supporting teachers and principals, and turning around schools that aren’t working, where students aren’t getting the opportunities that they deserve.我多次談到過政府的責任，要制定高標準，支持教師和校長的工作，徹底改善不能為學生提供應有機會的、教育質量差的學校。
