美国副总统拜登在四川大学的演讲

　　The premier forum is what we refer to as the Strategic and Economic Dialogue which brings together policymakers from across both governments to discuss a range of issues from trade barriers to climate change. But we also recognize -- we also recognized immediately on starting that the importance more directly addressing security issues, as well. That’s why in May we jointly launched the first Strategic Security Dialogue, a new channel for civilian and military leaders to discuss sensitive topics, including cyber and maritime security. That’s why it’s also important that our military leaders work together, get to know one another -- not just our political leaders, but our military leaders -- as Admiral Mullen and General Chen have begun to do in their recent exchange of meetings.
　　我们所说的战略与经济对话是一个主要论坛，它汇集了来自两国政府各部门的决策者，讨论从贸易壁垒到气候变化的一系列问题。但我们也认识到——我们一开始也立即认识到更直接解决安全问题的重要性。这就是为什么在5月我们共同启动了第一个战略安全对话，一个为文职和军方领导人讨论敏感议题的新渠道，包括网络和海上安全。这就是为什么我们的军方领导人也必须一道努力，互相了解——不仅是我们的政治领导人，还有我们的军方领导人——马伦海军上将和陈炳德将军在最近的交流会上已开始这样做。
　　The fact is China and the United States face many of the same threats and share many of the same objectives and responsibilities. But because we sometimes view threats from different perspectives -- that is China and the United States view them from different perspectives, our -- or favor a different way in dealing with what we perceive to be joint threats, our generals should be talking to each other alongside with our diplomats, as frequently as our diplomats do. Like China, the United States has a huge stake in the prosperity and stability of Asia and the Pacific.
　　事实是，中国和美国面临许多同样的威胁，并具有许多相同的目标和责任。但是，因为我们有时从不同角度看待威胁——即中国和美国从不同的角度看这些威胁——或者我们喜欢用一种不同的方法处理我们所认为的共同威胁，我们的将军应该互相通话，和我们的外交官一道，并且像我们的外交官那样经常进行。和中国一样，美国在亚洲和太平洋地区的繁荣和稳定上都有重大利益。
　　I look forward to visiting two other Asian nations on this trip. When I leave China, I’ll go to Mongolia and then to Japan. The United States -- and I realize this occasionally causes some discomfiture -- but the United States is a Pacific power, and we will remain a specific power -- a Pacific power.
　　我期待着在此行中访问另外两个亚洲国家。我离开中国后将去蒙古，然后到日本。美国——我知道这偶尔会导致一些困惑——但美国是一个太平洋大国，我们将继续是一个特定的大国——太平洋大国。
　　Over the last 60 years, no country has done more than we have to ensure the stability and security of the Asian-Pacific region. And I’d respectfully suggest that has been good for China, allowing China to focus on domestic development and to benefit from a growing market.
　　在过去60年里，在保证亚太地区的稳定和安全上，没有任何国家比我们做得更多。我谨要指出，这给中国带来了好处，使中国能够把重点放在国内发展，受益于不断扩大的市场。
　　America’s focus on this critical region will only grow in the years to come as Asia plays an even greater role in the global economy and international affairs.
　　美国对这一关键地区的重视在未来的岁月里只会增长，因为亚洲在全球经济和国际事务中发挥越来越大的作用。
　　As President Obama said in Tokyo during his first visit to Asia as President, and I quote: “The United States of America may have started as a series of ports and cities along the Atlantic Ocean, but for generations, we have also been a nation of the Pacific. Asia and the United States are not separated by this great ocean, we are bound by it.”
　　正如奥巴马总统作为总统第一次访问亚洲时在东京所说，我援引他的话：“美利坚合众国虽然发源于大西洋沿岸的一系列港口和城市，但我们世世代代始终是一个太平洋国家。亚洲和美国并没有被太平洋阻断，而是被太平洋联系在一起。”
　　That’s why we’ve begun this dialogue, this Asia-Pacific Dialogue on issues -- to expand cooperation in the region where we both live and operate.
　　这就是为什么我们开始了这场对话，即关于诸多问题的亚太对话——扩大在我们双方生活和运作的这个地区的合作。
　　Let me give you another example of our security cooperation. The United States and China are also working as international -- with international partners to counter the threat posed by the spread of nuclear weapons, materials and technology, so called nonproliferation. Along with 46 other world leaders, President Hu honored us by joining President Obama and me at the Nuclear Security Summit in April of last year, and our nations are now collaborating on a center for excellence to provide nuclear security in China.
　　让我再举一个我们安全合作的例子。美国和中国也进行国际的——与国际合作伙伴一道，对抗核武器、核材料和技术扩散所造成的威胁，即所谓的防扩散。与46个其他世界领导人一道，我们荣幸地请到胡锦涛主席与奥巴马总统和我一起出席了去年4月举行的核安全峰会，我们两国正在就一个示范中心进行合作，为中国提供核安全。
　　In my discussions with Vice President Xi this week, I said we have to deepen our conversations on the world’s two primary nuclear proliferating challenges: North Korea and Iran. I know that China shares our concerns, but some of you may wonder why our focus -- the focus of the United States is so intense. The reason is clear: If armed with nuclear weapons on long-range missiles, North Korea and Iran would pose a direct and serious threat to the security of the United States of America and our allies. It would present an existential threat. That is why -- that is why we’ve been working with China and our international partners to maintain peace and stability on the Korean peninsula and to achieve a complete denuclearization of North Korea. And it is why as the Iranian government continues its illicit nuclear program, we have worked with a range of partners and international institutions to enact the toughest sanctions that Iran has ever faced.
　　在本周与习近平副主席的讨论中，我表示，我们必须加深对世界上两个主要的核扩散挑战的对话：北韩和伊朗。我知道，中国和我们一样担心，但你们有些人可能会问为什么我们的重视——美国的重视是如此强烈。原因很清楚：如果有了配备核武器的远程导弹，北韩和伊朗将对美国和我们盟友的安全构成直接和严重的威胁。这将是对存在的威胁。这就是为什么——这就是为什么我们一直与中国和我们的国际伙伴合作，维持朝鲜半岛的和平与稳定，实现北韩的完全无核化。这也是为什么随着伊朗政府继续其非法的核计划，我们与诸多合作伙伴和国际机构合作，对伊朗实施它所面临的最严厉的制裁。
　　Without vigilant implementation of these sanctions, Iran will evade the consequences of the actions and diplomacy will not be effective in stopping their nuclear program. So we will continue to look to China to send a clear message to Iranian leaders through its words and its deeds that they, Iran, must live up to their international obligations.
　　如果不以高度的警觉采取这些制裁，伊朗将会逃避其行动的后果，外交也无法有效地阻止其实施核计划。因此，我们将继续期待中国通过言词和行动向伊朗领导人发出明确的信号，敦促伊朗必须履行其国际义务。
　　There are many other security challenges that the United States and China share. From Afghanistan, to Pakistan, to the Sudan -- and we have been and will continue to discuss our mutual interests and concerns. Continuing to develop our security dialogue and cooperation is the surest way to meet these joint challenges.
　　美中两国还面临着许多其他共同的安全挑战。从阿富汗、巴基斯坦到苏丹--我们已经并将继续讨论我们的共同利益和共同关心的问题。继续推进我们的安全对话与合作是迎接这些挑战的最可靠的途径。
　　Economic issues -- to state the obvious -- have been a particular focus of our nations’ growing cooperation. Together, we’re working to promote economic growth that is strong, sustainable and balanced, and trade that is free and fair.
　　经济问题无疑是我们两国日益加强合作特别强调的重点。我们正携手努力促进强劲、可持续且平衡的经济增长并推行自由和公平的贸易。
