奥巴马2015国情咨文演讲全文(双语)

2015-02-03 15:16:00来源:网络

  In West Africa, our troops, our scientists, our doctors, our nurses, our health care workers are rolling back Ebola -- saving countless lives and stopping the spread of disease. I could not be prouder of them, and I thank this Congress for your bipartisan support of their efforts. But the job is not yet done, and the world needs to use this lesson to build a more effective global effort to prevent the spread of future pandemics, invest in smart development, and eradicate extreme poverty.

  在西非,我们的部队、科学家、医生、护士和医护工作者正在对抗埃博拉——挽救无数人的生命并遏制疫情扩散。我为他们感到无比自豪,我也感谢国会两党的支持。但这项工作还没有完成——世界需要从中吸取教训,从而得以在全球范围更有效地防止未来流行病的蔓延,投资智能开发领域,以及消除极端贫困。

  In the Asia Pacific, we are modernizing alliances while making sure that other nations play by the rules -- in how they trade, how they resolve maritime disputes, how they participate in meeting common international challenges like nonproliferation and disaster relief. And no challenge -- no challenge -- poses a greater threat to future generations than climate change.

  在亚太地区,我们正在与盟国建立现代化的同盟关系,同时确保其它国家在一些领域按规则行事,比如贸易、解决海洋争端以及参与核不扩散和救灾等国际共同面临的挑战等各个领域。没有任何挑战——没有任何挑战——会比气候变化对后代构成更大的威胁。

  2014 was the planet's warmest year on record. Now, one year doesn't make a trend, but this does: 14 of the 15 warmest years on record have all fallen in the first 15 years of this century.

  2014年是地球有气象记录以来最温暖的一年。一个年份不会形成趋势,但这个年份显示了趋势——记录上15个最温暖年份中的14个都发生在本世纪的前15年。

  I've heard some folks try to dodge the evidence by saying they're not scientists; that we don't have enough information to act. Well, I'm not a scientist, either. But you know what, I know a lot of really good scientists at NASA, and at NOAA, and at our major universities. And the best scientists in the world are all telling us that our activities are changing the climate, and if we don't act forcefully, we'll continue to see rising oceans, longer, hotter heat waves, dangerous droughts and floods, and massive disruptions that can trigger greater migration and conflict and hunger around the globe. The Pentagon says that climate change poses immediate risks to our national security. We should act like it. (Applause.)

  我听说一些人无视证据地说,他们不是科学家,我们没有足够的资料依据来采取行动。我也不是科学家,但是你知道吗?我认识很多来自美国航空航天局、美国国家海洋和大气管理局,以及主要大学的优秀科学家,世界上最杰出的科学家都在告诉我们,我们的行为正在改变气候,如果不采取有力行动,我们将目睹海平面上升,热浪温度更高、更持久,干旱和洪水更险恶等重大灾难,导致全球更大规模的迁徙、冲突和饥荒。五角大楼说,气候变化给国家安全带来直接威胁,我们应该相应采取行动。

  And that's why, over the past six years, we've done more than ever to combat climate change, from the way we produce energy to the way we use it. That's why we've set aside more public lands and waters than any administration in history. And that's why I will not let this Congress endanger the health of our children by turning back the clock on our efforts. I am determined to make sure that American leadership drives international action. (Applause.)

  正因为如此,过去6年来,为了应对气候变化,我们从生产能源的方式到使用方式,都付出了前所未有的努力。正因为如此,我们比历史上任何一届政府拨出的公用土地和水源都多。正因为如此,我们不允许本届国会开历史倒车,威胁我们下一代孩子的健康。我决心要确保美国政府推动国际行动。
