| 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. |
這就是為什么美國總是在全世界各地宣揚這些核心原則。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，是美國對其他國家的開放態(tài)度的指導原則，也是我們對其他文化的尊重、對國際法的承諾和對未來的信念的原則。 |
| 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. |
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，你們也是充滿信心展望未來，致力于下一代能夠比這一代做的更好。 |

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.

除了你們不斷增長的經濟之外，我們很佩服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，這就是我們很高興互聯(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，對新能源的投資既能保持經濟繼續(xù)增長，也能應對氣候變化，我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。

| 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世紀的實力不再是零和游戲，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稹Ｏ喾?，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。 |
| 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. |
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。 |
| 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, just like you, are filled with talent and energy and optimism about the history that is yet to be written. |
這就是我為什么非常高興我們要大大的宣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。 |
| 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. |
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。 |
| So thank you very much. And I look forward now to taking some questions from all of you. Thank you very much. |
非常感謝?，F(xiàn)在歡迎各位提問題。 |
