1、2022奥巴马复旦演讲稿中英文贝拉克·侯赛因·奥巴马是第44任美国总统，为美国历史上第一位非洲裔总统，今日我给大家共享一篇奥巴马复旦演讲稿，希望对大家有所帮助。奥巴马复旦演讲稿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 hospital

2、ity 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) 你们好。能够有机会在上海跟你们大家交谈，我深感荣幸。我要感谢复旦高校的杨校长，感谢他的款待和热忱的欢迎。我还要感谢我们精彩的大使洪博培，他代表了我

3、们两国之间的深远联系和相互敬重。我不知道他刚才说什么，但是希望他说得不错。(笑声)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 t

4、he 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.我今日打算先做一个开场白，但我真正希望做的是回答问题，不但回答在座的学生提出的问题，同时也回答从网上提出的一些问题，这些问题由在座的一些学生和洪博培大使代为提出。很愧疚，我的中文不如你们的英文

5、，但我期盼着这个和你们对话的机会。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

6、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

7、, this is a nation that encompasses both a rich history and a belief in the promise of the future.这是我首次访问中国，看到你们壮美的国家，我感到很兴奋。在上海，我们看到了全球瞩目的发展高耸的大厦、繁忙的街道、创业的动态。这些都是中国步入 21世纪的迹象，让我感到赞美。同时，我也期盼看到向我们呈现中国悠久历史的古迹。明天和后天我会在北京，希望有机会看到壮丽的故宫和奇迹般的长城。的确，这是一个既有丰富的历史，又对将来的希望充溢信念的国家。The same can be said of the rela

8、tionship 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 o

9、ur people. However, America's ties to this city and to this country - stretch back further, to the earliest days of America's independence.我们两国的关系也是如此。毫无疑问，上海在美中关系史上是一个具有重大意义的城市。正是在这里，37年前发布的上海公报(Shanghai Communique)开启了我们两国政府和两国人民接触交往的新篇章。然而，美国与这个城市以及这个国家的纽带可以追溯到更久远的过去，直至美国独立初期。In 1784, our

10、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 America

11、n impulse - the desire to reach for new horizons, and to forge new partnerships that are mutually beneficial.1784年，我们的建国之父乔治·华盛顿主持了中国女皇号(Empress of China)的下水仪式。这条船前往中国海岸，寻求与清朝通商。华盛顿希望看到这条悬挂美国国旗的船前往世界各地，与像中国这样的国家缔结新的纽带。这是通常的美国人的愿望希望达到新的地平线，建立新的、互利的伙伴关系。Over the two centuries that have followed

12、, 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

13、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. 在此后的两个世纪中，历史洪流使我们两国关系向很多

14、不同的方向发展，但即使在动荡的岁月中，两国人民也抓住机会发展了深化的、甚至极不平凡的关系。例如，美国人民恒久不会遗忘，二战期间，美国飞行员在中国上空被击落后，中国公民冒着失去一切的危急护理他们。参与过二战的中国老兵仍旧热忱欢迎故地重游的美国老兵，他们曾经在那里作战，帮助中国从占据下获得解放。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. Th

15、e 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

16、very different.近40年前，简洁的乒乓球竞赛带来了两国关系的解冻，使我们两国建立起另一种联系。这种接触令人意外，但却恰恰促成了其胜利，因为尽管我们之间存在很多分歧，但是我们共同的人性和共同的新奇心得以从中显现。正如一位美国乒乓球队员在回忆对中国的访问时所说：那里的人民和我们一样这个国家和美国有很多相像之处，也有很大区分。Of course this small opening was followed by the achievement of the Shanghai Communique, and the eventual establishment of formal re

17、lations between the United States and China in 1979. And in three decades, just look at how far we have come.无须赘言，这个小小的契机带来了上海公报的问世，并最终促使美中两国在1979年建立正式外交关系。请看在此后的30年，我们取得了多么长足的进展。In 1979, trade between the United States and China stood at roughly $5 billion - today it tops over $400 billion each yea

18、r. 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

19、people to enjoy a better quality of life. And as demand becomes more balanced, it can lead to even broader prosperity.1979年，美中贸易额约为50亿美元，今日，年度贸易额已经超过4000亿美元。贸易在很多方面影响着两国人民的生活，美国电脑中的很多元件以及我们身穿的服装都是从中国进口的，我们向中国出口你们的工业须要的机器。这种贸易可以在太平洋两岸创建更多的就业机会，让我们的人民过上质量更高的生活。随着需求趋于平衡，旺盛的范围将进一步扩大。In 1979, the politic

20、al 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 c

21、lean 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 I meet with President Hu.1979年，美中之间的政治合作主要立足于双方共同面对的竞争对手苏联。如今我们享有主动的、建设性的、全面的关系，为我们在当今时代的关键

22、性全球问题上建立伙伴关系打开了大门，这些问题包括：经济复苏和清洁能源开发、制止核武器扩散和气候改变的影响、在亚洲及全球各地促进和平与平安。全部这些问题都是我明天与会谈的内容。And in 1979, the connections among our people were limited. Today, we see the curiosity of those ping-pong players manifested in the ties that are being forged across many sectors. The second highest number of for

23、eign students in the United States come from China, and we've seen a 50 percent increase in the study of Chinese among our own students. There are nearly 200 friendship cities drawing our communities together. American and Chinese scientists cooperate on new research and discovery. And of course

24、, Yao Ming is just one signal of our shared love of basketball. I'm only sorry that I won't be able to see a Shanghai Sharks game while I'm visiting.1979年，我们两国人民的联系非常有限。今日，我们看到当年乒乓球队员的新奇心已经化为很多领域的纽带，中国留学生在美国的人数名列其次，而在美国学生中，学中文的人数增加了50%。我们两国有近200个友好城市，把我们的社区连接在一起。美中科学家合作进行新的探讨与发觉。而姚明是我们两国

25、人民都酷爱篮球的仅仅一个标记而已令我缺憾的是，此行中我不能观看上海大鲨鱼队的竞赛。It is no coincidence that the relationship between our countries has accompanied a period of positive change. China has lifted hundreds of millions of people out of poverty an accomplishment unparalleled in human history while playing a larger role in global

26、events. And the United States has seen our economy grow along with the standard of living enjoyed by our people, while bringing the Cold War to a successful conclusion.我们两国之间的关系相伴着一个主动改变的时期，这不是偶然的。中国实现了亿万人民脱贫，这一成就史无前例，同时，中国在全球问题中也在发挥更大的作用。美国在促使冷战顺当结束的同时，经济也取得了增长，人民的生活水平提高。There is a Chinese proverb:

27、 Consider the past, and you shall know the future. Surely, we have known setbacks and challenges over the last 30 years. Our relationship has not been without disagreement and difficulty. But the notion that we must be adversaries is not predestined - not when we consider the past. Indeed, because o

28、f our cooperation, both the United States and China are more prosperous and more secure. We have seen what is possible when we build upon our mutual interests, and engage on the basis of mutual respect.中国有句名言：温故而知新。当然，过去30年中我们也曾遇到挫折和挑战，我们的关系不是没有分歧和困难。但是，我们必定是对手的概念并非是注定不变的回顾过去不会是这样。由于我们的合作，美中两国都更加旺盛、

29、更加平安。我们已经看到我们本着共同的利益和相互的敬重去努力所能取得的成果。And yet the success of that engagement depends upon understanding - on sustaining an open dialogue, and learning about one another and from one another. For just as that American table tennis player pointed out - we share much in common as human beings, but our c

30、ountries are different in certain ways.可是，这种接触的胜利取决于理解，取决于接着进行开诚布公的对话，相互了解，相互学习。正如前面提到的那位美国乒乓球队员所说作为人，我们有着很多共同之处，但是我们两国在某些方面存在着差别。I believe that each country must chart its own course. China is an ancient nation, with a deeply rooted culture. The United States, by comparison, is a young nation, whos

31、e culture is determined by the many different immigrants who have come to our shores, and by the founding documents that guide our democracy. Those documents put forward a simple vision of human affairs, and they enshrine several core principles - that all men and women are created equal, and posses

32、s certain fundamental rights; that government should reflect the will of the people and respond to their wishes; that commerce should be open, information freely accessible; and that laws, and not simply men, should guarantee the administration of justice.我认为每个国家都必需规划自己的前进方向。中国是一个文明古国，文化深远。而美国相对而言是一

33、个年轻的国家，它的文化由来自很多不同国家的移民以及指导我国民主制度的建国纲领所形成。这些纲领中提出了对人类事务的简洁明白的瞩望，并包含了一些核心原则不论男女人人生而同等，都享有某些基本权利;政府应当反映民意，并对人民的愿望作出回应;商贸应当是开放的，信息应当自由流通;司法保障应当来自法治而不是人治。Of course, the story of our nation is not without its difficult chapters. In many ways over many years we have struggled to advance the promise of the

34、se principles to all of our people, and to forge a more perfect union. We fought a very painful civil war, and freed a portion of our population from slavery. It took time for women to be extended the right to vote, workers to win the right to organize, and for immigrants from different corners of t

35、he globe to be fully embraced. Even after they were freed, African Americans persevered through conditions that were separate and not equal, before winning full and equalrights.当然，我国的历史也并非没有困难的篇章。在许多方面，在很长的时间里，我们要通过斗争去实现这些原则对全体人民的承诺，缔造一个更趋完善的联邦。我们曾打过一场很苦痛的南北斗争，将我国的一部分人口从奴役下解放出来。妇女获得投票权、劳工赢得组织权、来自世界各

36、地的移民得到完全的接纳这些都是经过了一段时间才实现的。非洲裔美国人即使在获得自由后依旧生活在被隔离和不同等的条件下，他们经过不懈努力才最终赢得全面、同等的权利。None of this was easy. But we made progress because of our belief in those core principles, which have served as our compass through the darkest of storms. That is why Lincoln could stand up in the midst of civil war and

37、 declare it a struggle to see whether any nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal could long endure. That is why Dr. Martin Luther King could stand on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial and ask that our nation live out the true meaning of its cree

38、d. That's why immigrants from China to Kenya could find a home on our shores; why opportunity is available to all who would work for it; and why someone like me, who less than 50 years ago would have had trouble voting in some parts of America, is now able to serve as its President.全部这些都不曾轻而易举。但

39、是，由于我们对这些核心原则的坚决信念，我们取得了进步，这些原则指引我们冲过了最黑暗的风暴。这就是为什么林肯能在南北斗争中自告奋勇并宣布，这是一场考验一个孕育于自由之中、忠实于人人生而同等这一原则的国家能否永存的斗争。这也就是为什么马丁·路德·金博士能够站立在林肯纪念堂的台阶上，要求我们的国家实践自身信仰的真正含义。这也就是为什么来自从中国到肯尼亚的各国移民能够在我国的土地上安家;为什么全部努力寻求机会的人都能获得机会;为什么像我这种在不到50年前在美国的某些地方连投票都遇到困难的人，现在能够出任这个国家的总统。And that is why America will

40、 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 pol

41、itical 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

42、; our respect for different cultures; our commitment to international law; and our faith in the future.这就是为什么美国始终在全世界为这些核心原则而大声疾呼。我们不寻求把任何政治体制强加给任何别的国家，但是我们也不认为我们主见的这些原则是我们国家所独有的。表达自由和宗教信仰自由获得信息和政治参加的自由我们认为这些自由都是普世的权利，全部人都应当享有，包括少数民族和宗教少数派，不管是在美国、中国还是在任何其他国家。正是对普世权利的敬重指导着美国向其他国家开放，敬重各种不同的文化，致力于遵守国际法

43、，并对将来抱有信念。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 somethingmportant in common, and that is a belief in the future. Neither the

44、 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.这些都是你们应当了解的美国的状况。我也知道中国有许多有待我们了解的状况。环顾一下这座宏大的城市环顾

45、一下这个大厅我确信我们两个国家有一个很重要的共同点，那就是我们对将来的信念。美国和中国都不想满意于已取得的成就，止步不前。虽然中国是一个古老的国家，但你们明显也对将来满怀信念、雄心和使年轻一代能比这一代人更有作为的决心。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 tech

46、nology 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 an

47、d 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.我们不但敬

48、佩中国日益增长的经济，还赞许你们在科学探讨方面极不平凡的努力从你们建设的基础设施到你们运用的技术，均体现出这种努力。中国现在是世界上最大的互联网运用国这也是我们今日很兴奋能把互联网作为此次活动的一部分的缘由。这个国家目前拥有世界上最大的移动电话网络，它正在投资发展既能维持可持续增长，又能应对气候改变的新型能源我期盼着明天在这个至关重要的领域中深化两国的合作关系。然而，最重要的是，我在你们身上看到了中国的将来 年轻一代的聪慧才智、献身精神和幻想将为塑造21世纪发挥巨大作用。I've said many times that I believe that our world is now

49、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
