    正文:PRESIDENT OBAMA: Good afternoon. It is a great honor for me to be here in Shanghai, and to have this opportunity to speak with all of you. I'd like to thank Fudan University's President Yang for his hospitality and his gracious welcome. I'd also like to thank our outstanding Ambassador, Jon Huntsman, who exemplifies the deep ties and respect between our nations. I don't know what he said, but I hope it was good. (Laughter.)      奧巴馬總統(tǒng):你們好。能夠有機(jī)會在上海跟你們大家交談,我深感榮幸。我要感謝復(fù)旦大學(xué)的楊校長,感謝他的款待和熱情的歡迎。我還要感謝我們出色的大使洪博培,他代表了我們兩國之間的深遠(yuǎn)聯(lián)系和相互尊重。我不知道他剛才說什么,但是希望他說得不錯(cuò)。(笑聲)      What I'd like to do is to make some opening comments, and then what I'm really looking forward to doing is taking questions, not only from students who are in the audience, but also we've received questions online, which will be asked by some of the students who are here in the audience, as well as by Ambassador Huntsman. And I am very sorry that my Chinese is not as good as your English, but I am looking forward to this chance to have a dialogue.      我今天準(zhǔn)備先做一個(gè)開場白,但我真正希望做的是回答問題,不但回答在座的學(xué)生提出的問題,同時(shí)也回答從網(wǎng)上提出的一些問題,這些問題由在座的一些學(xué)生和洪博培大使代為提出。很抱歉,我的中文不如你們的英文,但我期待著這個(gè)和你們對話的機(jī)會。
    This is my first time traveling to China, and I'm excited to see this majestic country. Here, in Shanghai, we see the growth that has caught the attention of the world -- the soaring skyscrapers, the bustling streets and entrepreneurial activity. And just as I'm impressed by these signs of China's journey to the 21st century, I'm eager to see those ancient places that speak to us from China's distant past. Tomorrow and the next day I hope to have a chance when I'm in Beijing to see the majesty of the Forbidden City and the wonder of the Great Wall. Truly, this is a nation that encompasses both a rich history and a belief in the promise of the future.      這是我首次訪問中國,看到你們壯麗的國家,我感到很興奮。在上海,我們看到了全球矚目的發(fā)展——高聳的大廈、繁忙的街道、創(chuàng)業(yè)的動態(tài)。這些都是中國步入 21世紀(jì)的跡象,讓我感到贊嘆。同時(shí),我也期盼看到向我們展現(xiàn)中國悠久歷史的古跡。明天和后天我會在北京,希望有機(jī)會看到壯觀的故宮和奇跡般的長城。的確,這是一個(gè)既有豐富的歷史,又對未來的希望充滿信心的國家。      The same can be said of the relationship between our two countries. Shanghai, of course, is a city that has great meaning in the history of the relationship between the United States and China. It was here, 37 years ago, that the Shanghai Communique opened the door to a new chapter of engagement between our governments and among our people. However, America's ties to this city -- and to this country -- stretch back further, to the earliest days of America's independence.      我們兩國的關(guān)系也是如此。毫無疑問,上海在美中關(guān)系是一個(gè)具有重大意義的城市。正是在這里,37年前發(fā)布的《上海公報(bào)》(Shanghai Communique)開啟了我們兩國政府和兩國人民接觸交往的新篇章。然而,美國與這個(gè)城市以及這個(gè)國家的紐帶可以追溯到更久遠(yuǎn)的過去,直至美國獨(dú)立初期。
    In 1784, our founding father, George Washington, commissioned the Empress of China, a ship that set sail for these shores so that it could pursue trade with the Qing Dynasty. Washington wanted to see the ship carry the flag around the globe, and to forge new ties with nations like China. This is a common American      impulse -- the desire to reach for new horizons, and to forge new partnerships that are mutually beneficial.      1784年,我們的建國之父喬治?華盛頓主持了“中國女皇號”(Empress of China)的下水儀式。這條船前往中國海岸,尋求與清朝通商。華盛頓希望看到這條懸掛美國國旗的船前往世界各地,與像中國這樣的國家締結(jié)新的紐帶。這是通常的美國人的愿望——希望達(dá)到新的地平線,建立新的、互利的伙伴關(guān)系。      Over the two centuries that have followed, the currents of history have steered the relationship between our countries in many directions. And even in the midst of tumultuous winds, our people had opportunities to forge deep and even dramatic ties. For instance, Americans will never forget the hospitality shown      to our pilots who were shot down over your soil during World War II, and cared for by Chinese civilians who risked all that they had by doing so. And Chinese veterans of that war still warmly greet those American veterans who return to the sites where they fought to help liberate China from occupation.      在此后的兩個(gè)世紀(jì)中,歷史洪流使我們兩國關(guān)系向許多不同的方向發(fā)展,但即使在動蕩的歲月中,兩國人民也抓住機(jī)會發(fā)展了深入的、甚至極不平凡的關(guān)系。例如,美國人民永遠(yuǎn)不會忘記,二戰(zhàn)期間,美國飛行員在中國上空被擊落后,中國公民冒著失去一切的危險(xiǎn)護(hù)理他們。參加過二戰(zhàn)的中國老兵仍然熱情歡迎故地重游的美國老兵,他們曾經(jīng)在那里作戰(zhàn),幫助中國從占領(lǐng)下獲得解放。
    A different kind of connection was made nearly 40 years ago when the frost between our countries began to thaw through the simple game of table tennis. The very unlikely nature of this engagement contributed to its success -- because for all our differences, both our common humanity and our shared curiosity were revealed. As one American player described his visit to China -- "[The]people are just like us…The country is very similar to America, but still very different."      近40年前,簡單的乒乓球比賽帶來了兩國關(guān)系的解凍,使我們兩國建立起另一種聯(lián)系。這種接觸令人意外,但卻恰恰促成了其成功,因?yàn)楸M管我們之間存在許多分歧,但是我們共同的人性和共同的好奇心得以從中顯現(xiàn)。正如一位美國乒乓球隊(duì)員在回憶對中國的訪問時(shí)所說:“那里的人民和我們一樣……這個(gè)國家和美國有許多相似之處,也有很大區(qū)別?!?     Of course this small opening was followed by the achievement of the Shanghai Communique, and the eventual establishment of formal relations between the United States and China in 1979. And in three decades, just look at how far we have come.      無須贅言,這個(gè)小小的契機(jī)帶來了《上海公報(bào)》的問世,并最終促使美中兩國在1979年建立正式外交關(guān)系。請看在此后的30年,我們?nèi)〉昧硕嗝撮L足的進(jìn)展。
    In 1979, trade between the United States and China stood at roughly $5 billion -- today it tops over $400 billion each year. The commerce affects our people's lives in so many ways. America imports from China many of the computer parts we use, the clothes we wear; and we export to China machinery that helps power your industry. This trade could create even more jobs on both sides of the Pacific, while allowing our people to enjoy a better quality of life. And as demand becomes more balanced, it can lead to even broader prosperity.      1979年,美中貿(mào)易額約為50億美元,今天,年度貿(mào)易額已經(jīng)超過4000億美元。貿(mào)易在許多方面影響著兩國人民的生活,美國電腦中的許多元件以及我們身穿的服裝都是從中國進(jìn)口的,我們向中國出口你們的工業(yè)需要的機(jī)器。這種貿(mào)易可以在太平洋兩岸創(chuàng)造更多的就業(yè)機(jī)會,讓我們的人民過上質(zhì)量更高的生活。隨著需求趨于平衡,繁榮的范圍將進(jìn)一步擴(kuò)大。      In 1979, the political cooperation between the United States and China was rooted largely in our shared rivalry with the Soviet Union. Today, we have a positive, constructive and comprehensive relationship that opens the door to partnership on the key global issues of our time -- economic recovery and the development of clean energy; stopping the spread of nuclear weapons and the scourge of climate change; the promotion of peace and security in Asia and around the globe. All of these issues will be on the agenda tomorrow when Imeet with President Hu.      1979年,美中之間的政治合作主要立足于雙方共同面對的競爭對手蘇聯(lián)。如今我們享有積極的、建設(shè)性的、全面的關(guān)系,為我們在當(dāng)今時(shí)代的關(guān)鍵性全球問題上建立伙伴關(guān)系打開了大門,這些問題包括:經(jīng)濟(jì)復(fù)蘇和清潔能源開發(fā)、制止核武器擴(kuò)散和氣候變化的影響、在亞洲及全球各地促進(jìn)和平與安全。所有這些問題都是我明天與胡主席會談的內(nèi)容。
