奥巴马2015国情咨文演讲全文(双语)

2015-02-03 15:16:00来源:网络

  We may have different takes on the events of Ferguson and New York. But surely we can understand a father who fears his son can't walk home without being harassed. And surely we can understand the wife who won't rest until the police officer she married walks through the front door at the end of his shift. (Applause.) And surely we can agree that it's a good thing that for the first time in 40 years, the crime rate and the incarceration rate have come down together, and use that as a starting point for Democrats and Republicans, community leaders and law enforcement, to reform America's criminal justice system so that it protects and serves all of us. (Applause.)

  我们可能对弗格森和纽约发生的事件有不同看法,但我们肯定可以理解一位担心他的儿子在回家时遭到骚扰的父亲。我们肯定可以理解无法入睡直到她的警官丈夫值完班走进家门的妻子。可以肯定,我们都认为犯罪率和关押率四十年来首次一起下降是一件好事,这开以是民主党人、共和党人、社区领导人、执法部门来改革美国刑事司法制度的起点,以更好地保护和服务我们所有人。

  That's a better politics. That's how we start rebuilding trust. That's how we move this country forward. That's what the American people want. And that's what they deserve.

  这就是更好的政治,这是我们如何开始重建信任,这是我们如何使这个国家前行,这是美国人想要的,这是他们应当获得的。

  I have no more campaigns to run. (Applause.) My only agenda -- (laughter) -- I know because I won both of them. (Applause.) My only agenda for the next two years is the same as the one I've had since the day I swore an oath on the steps of this Capitol -- to do what I believe is best for America. If you share the broad vision I outlined tonight, I ask you to join me in the work at hand. If you disagree with parts of it, I hope you'll at least work with me where you do agree. And I commit to every Republican here tonight that I will not only seek out your ideas, I will seek to work with you to make this country stronger. (Applause.)

  我已没有更多的竞选活动要参加。我在未来两年的唯一日程表和我自从在国会山上宣誓就任起是一样的,那就是做我认为对于美国是最好的事情。如果你认同我今晚所描述的广泛愿景,请加入我一起处理手头的工作,如果你对其中的部分持不同意见,我希望你至少可以在你认同的部分上与我共事。我向今晚出席的所有共和党人保证,我不仅将征求你们的想法,我还将努力与你们共事,以使这个国家更加强大。

  Because I want this chamber, I want this city to reflect the truth -- that for all our blind spots and shortcomings, we are a people with the strength and generosity of spirit to bridge divides, to unite in common effort, to help our neighbors, whether down the street or on the other side of the world.

  因为我想让国会,这个城市来反映真相,尽管我们有各种盲点和缺点,但我们是有力量和慷慨精神的民族,可以弥补分裂,在共同努力方面团结一致,帮助我们的邻居,不管是在街边或者是在世界另一端。

  I want our actions to tell every child in every neighborhood, your life matters, and we are committed to improving your life chances as committed as we are to working on behalf of our own kids. (Applause.) I want future generations to know that we are a people who see our differences as a great gift, that we're a people who value the dignity and worth of every citizen -- man and woman, young and old, black and white, Latino, Asian, immigrant, Native American, gay, straight, Americans with mental illness or physical disability. Everybody matters. I want them to grow up in a country that shows the world what we still know to be true: that we are still more than a collection of red states and blue states; that we are the United States of America.

  我想让我们的行动告诉所有社区的每个孩子:你们的生命是重要的,我们将致力于像改善我们自己孩子生命机遇那样改善你们的。我想让后代知道,我们是视我们的差异是伟大礼物的民族,我们是珍视每个公民尊严和价值的民族,无论男人和女人,年轻人和老人,黑人和白人,拉丁裔和亚裔,移民和印第安人,同性恋者和异性恋者、身体还是精神残疾的美国人。我想让他们在这样一个国家长大,这个国家向世界表明,我们仍知道梦想:我们不止是一些红色州和蓝色州的集合,我们是美利坚合众国。

  I want them to grow up in a country where a young mom can sit down and write a letter to her President with a story that sums up these past six years: "It's amazing what you can bounce back from when you have to…we are a strong, tight-knit family who's made it through some very, very hard times."

  我想让他们在这样一个国家长大,像瑞贝卡这样年轻的母亲可以致信给她的总统,用一个故事来总结过去的六年:“这是惊奇的,你在不得已的情况下东山再起的程度,我们是一个强有力的、关系密切的家庭,我们一起熬过了一些非常非常艰难的时刻。”

  My fellow Americans, we, too, are a strong, tight-knit family. We, too, have made it through some hard times. Fifteen years into this new century, we have picked ourselves up, dusted ourselves off, and begun again the work of remaking America. We have laid a new foundation. A brighter future is ours to write. Let's begin this new chapter together -- and let's start the work right now.

  我的美国同胞们,我们也是一个强大的、密切联系的家庭。我们也熬过了一些艰难的时光。在进入新世纪十五年之际,我们已重振精神,掸掉身上的灰尘,再次开始重塑美国的工作。我们已打下了一个新的基础。一个更明亮的未来正等待我们书写,让我们一起开始这一新篇章吧,让我们现在就开始为之而奋斗吧。

  Thank you. God bless you. God bless this country we love. Thank you.

  谢谢,上帝保佑你,上帝保佑这个我们热爱的国家。
