奥巴马访华演讲(中英双语)

奥巴马在复旦大学演讲稿(全)-中英文Nong hao! 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.)侬好！诸位下午好。

我感到很荣幸能够有机会到上海跟你们交谈，我要感谢复旦大学的杨校长，感谢他的款待和热情的欢迎。

我还想感谢我们出色的大使洪博培，他是我们两国间深厚的纽带。

我不知道他刚才说什么，但是希望他说得很好。

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.我今天准备这样，先做一个开场白，我真正希望做的是回答在座的问题，不但回答在座的学生问题，同时还可以从网上得到一些问题，由在座的一些学生和洪博培大使代为提问。

奥巴马演讲中英文对照版Ladies and Gentlemen:女士们，先生们：Today is the 37th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court decision that recognized the constitutional right toprivacy and dignity in a woman’s most personal decisions about her health, her family, and her future.今天是作出保障妇女在其个人健康，家庭以及未来的自由决定的宪法权利上所公认的Roe v. Wade法令37周年纪念日。

而且也更加温和、委婉地纪念; 在Roe法令37年期间，我们见证了一代年轻人在他们拥有控制自己生殖决策权的环境中长大。

事实上，今天的年轻人可能甚至连Roe以前的时代都不太记得。

但我们也不能忘记那些来之前我们的勇敢女性以及和他们一起奋战的勇敢男女，他们有勇气要求自己最私密的决定被视作一项基本的人权。

这也是我们今天聚集在此的原因--要重申这个基本真理，并再次致力于保护妇女在全世界的生殖权利以及机会，不管她们的收入或背景如何。

This moment should not be about politics, it should be about, as Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg reminded us, “the decision whether and when to bear a child” being in the hands of women themselves.这一刻不应是关于政治，而是，正如法官鲁丝·巴德·金斯伯格曾提醒过的，“是否及何时有孩子”这项决定应在女性自己手中。

而且，虽然保护妇女权利和自主的斗争不会于今天就结束。

米歇尔·奥巴马在北京大学演讲（中英双语）第一篇：米歇尔·奥巴马在北京大学演讲(中英双语)3月22日，美国第一夫人米歇尔奥巴马在北京大学斯坦福中心发表演讲。

Ni hao.It is such a pleasant and an honor to be here with all of you at this great universityThank you so much for having me.And before I get started today, on behalf of myself and my husband, I just want to say a few very brief words above Malaysian(sic)Airline Flight 370.As my husband has said, theUnited Statesis offering as many resources as possible to assist in the search.And please know that we are keeping all the families and loved ones of those on this flight in our thoughts and prayers at this very difficult time.And with that, I want to start by recognizing our news Ambassador toChinaAmbassador BaucusPresident WangChairman ZhuVice President Li.Director Cueller, Professor Oi and the Stanford centerPresident Sexton from New York University which has an excellent study abroad program in Shanghaiand John Thorton, Director of the Global Leadership Program at Tsinghua Universitythank you all so much for joining us.And most of all, I want to thank all of the student for being here todayand I particulary want to thank Eric Schafer and Zhu Xuanbao for that extraordinary English and Chinese introduction.That was such a powerful symbol of everything I want to talk with you about today.You see, by learning each others languagesMr.Schafer and Ms.Zhu and all of you are building bridges of understanding that lead to so much more.And Im here today because I know that our future depends on connections like these among your people like you across the globe.Thats why when my husband and I travel abroad, we don'tjust visit palaces and parliament and meet with heads of state.We also come to schools like this one to meet with students like you.Because we believe that relationships between nations are not just about relationship between governments or leaderstheyre about relationships between people, particularly our young people.So we view study abroad programs not just as an educational opportunity f or studentsbut also as a vital part ofAmericas foreign policy.You see, through the wonders of modern technology, our world is more connected than ever before.Ideas can cross ocean with the click of a panies can do business and complete with companies across the globe.And we can text, email and skype with people on every continent.So studying abroad isnt just a fun way to spend a semester-its quickly becoming the key to success in our global economy.Because getting ahead in todays workplaces isnt just about getting good grades or test scores in schoolits also about having real experience with the world beyond your bordersits also about shaping the future of your countries and of the world we all share.Because when it comes to the defining challenges of our timeyou do it by improving yourself in someones cultureby learning each others storiesand by getting past the stereotypes and misconceptions that too often divide us.Thats how you come to understand how much we all share.And thats how you realize that we all have a stake in each others successI couldnt have said it better myself, because thats really what Im talking about...Im talking about ordinary citizen reaching out to the world.And as I always tell young people back inAmerica, you dont need to get on a plane to by a citizen diplomacy.I tell them that if you have an internet in your home, school, or library, within seconds, you can be transportedanywhere in the world and meet people on every continent.Thats why Im posting a daily travel blog with videos and photos of my experiences in chinahow it can open up the entire world and expose us to ideas and innovations we never could have imagined.And thats why it is so important for information and ideas to flow freely over the internet and through the media.Because thats how we discover the truth...thats how we learn whats really happening in our communities, our country and our world.And thats how we decide which values and ideas we think are best-by questioning and debating them vigorouslyby listening to all sides of every argument...and by judging for ourselves.And believe me, I know this can be a messy and frustrating process.My husband and I are on the receiving and of plenty of questioning and criticizing from our media and our fellow citizens...and its not always easy...but we wouldnt trade it for anything in the world.Because time and again, we have seen that countries are stronger and more prosperous when the voices and opinions of all their citizens can be heard.And as my husband said, we respect the uniqueness of other cultures and societies.But when it comes to expressing yourself freely, and worshipping as your choose, and having open access to information we believe those are universal rights that are the birthright of every person on this planet.We believe that all people deserve the opportunity to fulfill their highest potential as I was able to do in theUnited States.And as you learn about new cultures and form new friendships during your time here in China and in the United States, all of you are the living, breathing embodiment of those values.So I guarantee you that in studying abroad, youre not just changing your own lifeyoure changing the lives of everyone you meet.As the great American President JohnF.Kennedy once said about foreign students studying in theU.S., I think they teach more than they learn.And that is just as true of young Americans who study abroad.All of you are Americas best face, and Chinas best face, to the world.Every day, you show the world your countries energy, creativity, optimism and unwavering belief in the future.And every day, you remind us of just how much we can achieve if we reach across bordersand learn to see ourselves in each otherand confront our shared challenges with shared resolve.So I hope you will keep seeking these kinds of experiences.And I hope youll keep teaching each otherand learning from each otherand building bonds of friendship that will enrich your lives and enrich our world for decades to come.You all have so much to offer, and I cannot wait to see all that you achieve together in the years ahead.Thank you so much.Xie Xie.from：/wdyz/ /wzylc/ /amcp/ /xpj/

美国总统奥巴马在上海与中国青年对话演讲中文全文中文:你们好。

能够有机会在上海跟你们大家交谈，我深感荣幸。

我要感谢复旦大学的杨校长，感谢他的款待和热情的欢迎。

我还要感谢我们出色的大使洪博培，他代表了我们两国之间的深远联系和相互尊重。

我不知道他刚才说什么，但是希望他说得不错。

（笑声）我今天准备先做一个开场白，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。

很抱歉，我的中文不如你们的英文，但我期待着这个和你们对话的机会。

这是我首次访问中国，看到你们壮丽的国家，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、繁忙的街道和如火如荼的商业活动。

中国迈向21世纪的这些景象给我留下了深刻印象。

同时，我也期盼看到向我们展现中国悠久历史的古迹。

明天和后天我会在北京，希望有机会看到壮观的故宫和被誉为“奇迹”的长城。

的确，这是一个既有丰富的历史，又对未来的希望充满信心的国家。

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。

1784年，我们的建国之父乔治·华盛顿派遣“中国女皇号”（Empress of China）驶往中国海岸，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建立新的关系。

这是美国人一贯的愿望——希望与新的国家建立新的、互利的伙伴关系。

在此后的两个世纪中，历史洪流使我们两国关系向许多不同的方向发展，但即使在动荡的岁月中，两国人民也抓住机会发展了深入的、甚至极不平凡的关系。

例如，美国人民永远不会忘记，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险护理他们。

完美精华版奥巴马演讲中英文对照Ladies and gentlemen,Today, I stand before you as the President of the United States, humbled by the trust you have placed in me and grateful for the opportunity to address you all. The challenges we face are great, but together, we can overcome them and build a brighter future for our nation and the world.女士们先生们，今天，作为美国总统，我站在你们面前，对你们对我的信任感到谦卑，感激有机会向你们全体发表讲话。

我们面临的挑战艰巨，但是我们可以共同克服它们，为我们的国家和世界建设一个更加光明的未来。

As I look back on the past eight years, I am proud of what we have accomplished. We have overcome economic recession, expanded healthcare coverage, and made progress in areas such as climate change and marriage equality. But there is still work to be done.回顾过去的八年，我为我们所取得的成就感到自豪。

我们克服了经济衰退，扩大了医疗保障范围，在气候变化和婚姻平等等领域取得了进展。

但是还有工作要做。

In the years ahead, we must continue to strive for progress and upholdthe values that make our nation strong. We must invest in education, support innovation and entrepreneurship, and ensure that every citizen has the opportunity to succeed. Together, we can build an inclusive and prosperous society.在未来的岁月里，我们必须继续努力进取，坚守使我们国家强大的价值观。

你好。

诸位下午好。

这是我首次访问中国，我看到你们博大的国家，感到很兴奋。

在上海这里，我们看到了瞩目的增长，高耸的塔楼，繁忙的街道，还有企业家的精神。

这些都是中国步入21世纪的迹象，让我感到赞叹。

同时我也急切的要看到向我们展现中国古老的古迹，明天和后天我要到北京去看雄伟壮丽的故宫和令人叹为观止的长城，这个国度既有丰富的历史，又有对未来憧憬的信念。

而我们两国的关系也是如此，上海在美中关系的历史中是个具有意义的重大城市，在30年前，《上海公报》打开了我们两国政府和两国人民接触交往的新的篇章。

不过美国与这个国家的纽带可以追溯更久远的过去，追溯到美国独立的初期，乔治？华盛顿组织了皇后号的下水仪式，这个船成功前往大清王朝，华盛顿希望看到这艘船前往各地，与中国结成新的纽带。

希望中国开辟新的地平线，建立新的伙伴关系。

在其后的两个世纪中，历史洪流使我们两国关系向许多不同的方向发展，而即使在最动荡的方向中，我们的两国人民打造深的，甚至有戏剧性的纽带，比如美国人永远不会忘记，在二战期间，美国飞行员在中国上空被击落后，当地人民对他们的款待，中国公民冒着失去一切的危险罩着他们。

而参加二战的老兵仍然欢迎故地重游的美国老兵，他们在那里参战。

40年前，我们两国间开启了又一种联系，两国关系开始解冻，通过乒乓球的比赛解冻关系。

我们两国之间有着分歧，但是我们也有着共同的人性及有着共同的好奇，就像一位乒乓球运动员一样，那时的国家就是一样，但是这个小小的开头带来了《上海公报》的问世，最终还带来了美中在1979年建交。

Forty—four Americans have now taken the presidential oath. The words have been spoken during rising tides of prosperity and the still waters of peace。

Yet, every so often the oath is taken amidst gathering clouds and raging storms. At these moments, America has carried on not simply because of the skill or vision of those in high office, but because We the People have remained faithful to the ideals of our forbearers, and true to our founding documents。

贝拉克•奥巴马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.)奥巴马上海演讲英文一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.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 thoseancient 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.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.奥巴马上海演讲英文二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.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.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."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.奥巴马上海演讲英文三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.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 I meet with President Hu.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 foreign 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, 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.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 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.奥巴马上海演讲英文四There is a Chinese proverb: "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 of our cooperation, both the UnitedStates 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.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 countries are different in certain ways.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, whose 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 possess 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.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 these 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 the 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 equal rights.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 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 creed. 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.And that is why America will 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 political 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; our respect for different cultures; our commitment to international law; and our faith in the future.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 something important in common, and that is a belief in the future. Neither the 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.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 technology 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 and 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.I've said many times that I believe that our world is now 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 the community of nations -- a China that draws on the rights, strengths, and creativity of individual Chinese like you.To return to the proverb -- consider the past. We know that more is to be gained when great powers cooperate than when they collide. That is a lesson that human beings have learned time and again, and that is the example of the history between our nations. And I believe strongly that cooperation must go beyond our government. It must be rooted in our people -- in the studies we share, the business that we do, the knowledge that we gain, and even in the sports that we play. And these bridges must be built by young men and women just like you and your counterparts in America.That's why I'm pleased to announce that the United States will dramatically expand the number of our students who study in China to 100,000. And these exchanges mark a clear commitment to build ties among our people, as surely as you will help determine the destiny of the 21st century. And I'm absolutely confident that America has no better ambassadors to offer than our young people. For they, just like you, are filled with talent and energy and optimism about the history that is yet to be written.So let this be the next step in the steady pursuit of cooperation that will serve our nations, and the world. And if there's one thing that we can take from today's dialogue, I hope that it is a commitment to continue this dialogue going forward.So thank you very much. And I look forward now to taking some questions from all of you. Thank you very much. (Applause.)奥巴马在上海复旦大学发表演讲你好。

美国总统奥巴马在上海演讲（中英对照全文）2009年11月21日星期六09:222009年11月16日, 首次访华的美国总统奥巴马在上海科技博物馆与数百名中国学生对话，在对话前，奥巴马发表了演讲。

以下为奥巴马演讲的中英文对照全文。

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.)奥巴马总统：你们好。

能够有机会在上海跟你们大家交谈，我深感荣幸。

我要感谢复旦大学的杨校长，感谢他的款待和热情的欢迎。

我还要感谢我们出色的大使洪博培，他代表了我们两国之间的深远联系和相互尊重。

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 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.我今天准备先做一个开场白，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。

你好。

诸位下午好。

我感到很荣幸能够有机会到上海跟你们交谈，我要感谢复旦大学的杨校长，感谢他的款待和热情的欢迎。

我还想感谢我们出色的大使洪博培，他是我们两国间深厚的纽带。

我不知道他刚才说什么，但是希望他说得很好。

我今天准备这样，先做一个开场白，我真正希望做的是回答在座的问题，不但回答在座的学生问题，同时还可以从网上得到一些问题，由在座的一些学生和洪博培大使代为提问。

很抱歉，我的中文远不如你们的英文，所以我期待和你们的对话。

这是我首次访问中国，我看到你们博大的国家，感到很兴奋。

在上海这里，我们看到了瞩目的增长，高耸的塔楼，繁忙的街道，还有企业家的精神。

这些都是中国步入21世纪的迹象，让我感到赞叹。

同时我也急切的要看到向我们展现中国古老的古迹，明天和后天我要到北京去看雄伟壮丽的故宫和令人叹为观止的长城，这个国度既有丰富的历史，又有对未来憧憬的信念。

而我们两国的关系也是如此，上海在美中关系的历史中是个具有意义的重大城市，在30年前，《上海公报》打开了我们两国政府和两国人民接触交往的新的篇章。

不过美国与这个国家的纽带可以追溯更久远的过去，追溯到美国独立的初期，乔治？华盛顿组织了皇后号的下水仪式，这个船成功前往大清王朝，华盛顿希望看到这艘船前往各地，与中国结成新的纽带。

希望中国开辟新的地平线，建立新的伙伴关系。

在其后的两个世纪中，历史洪流使我们两国关系向许多不同的方向发展，而即使在最动荡的方向中，我们的两国人民打造深的，甚至有戏剧性的纽带，比如美国人永远不会忘记，在二战期间，美国飞行员在中国上空被击落后，当地人民对他们的款待，中国公民冒着失去一切的危险罩着他们。

而参加二战的老兵仍然欢迎故地重游的美国老兵，他们在那里参战。

40年前，我们两国间开启了又一种联系，两国关系开始解冻，通过乒乓球的比赛解冻关系。

我们两国之间有着分歧，但是我们也有着共同的人性及有着共同的好奇，就像一位乒乓球运动员一样，那时的国家就是一样，但是这个小小的开头带来了《上海公报》的问世，最终还带来了美中在1979年建交。

奥巴马北京演讲稿中英文对照奥巴马欧巴马和胡锦涛于月7日在北京举行联合新闻记者会,分别发表讲话.奥巴马总统的讲话全文,英语演讲稿+翻译.PRESIDENT OBAMA: Good afternoon. I want to start by thanking President Hu and the Chinese people for the warmth and hospitality that they have shown myself and our delegation since we arrived. We had a wonderful day in Shanghai yesterday, a wonderful discu ssion with China’s young men and women, and I’m looking forward to the conversations we’ll have and the sights that we’ll see here in Beijing over the next two days.奥巴马总统：下午好.首先我要感谢胡主席和中国人民从我们到来后给予我和代表团的热情款待.昨天,我们在上海度过了非常愉快的一天,同中国男女青年进行了一次十分愉快的讨论.我期待着我们今明两天将在北京进行的会谈和景点参观.We meet here at a time when the relationship between the United States and China has never been more important to our collective future. The major challenges of the 2st century, from climate change to nuclear proliferation to economic recovery, are challenges that touch both our nations, and challenges that neither of our nations can solve by acting alone.我们是在美中关系对我们的共同未来具有前所未有的重要性的时刻在这里举行会晤.2世纪的各项重大挑战,无论是气候变化、核扩散还是经济复苏,都与我们两个国家相关,而且哪个国家都不能通过单独行动来对付这些挑战.That’s why the United States welcomes China’s efforts in playing a greater role on the world stage -- a role in which a growing economy is joined by growing responsibilities. And that’s why President Hu and I talked about continuing to build a positive, cooperative, and comprehensive relationship between our nations.这就是为什么美国欢迎中国努力在世界舞台上发挥更大的作用——这个作用意味着伴随经济发展而增长的责任.这也就是为什么胡主席和我都谈到要继续建立积极合作全面的美中关系.As President Hu indicated, we discussed what’s required to sustain this economic recovery so that economic growth is followed by the creation of new jobs and lasting prosperity. So far China’s partnership has proved critical in our effort to pull ourselves out of the worst recession in generations.如胡主席所说,我们讨论了要使经济复苏持续所必须采取的措施,以便使经济增长带来新的就业机会,实现持久繁荣.迄今,与中国的伙伴关系被证明在我们为摆脱几代人以来最严重的衰退所作的努力中至关重要.Going forward, we agreed to advance the pledge made at the G20 summit in Pittsburgh and pursue a strategy of more balanced economic growth -- a strategy where America saves more, spends less, reduces our long-term debt, and where China makes adjustments across a broad range of policies to rebalance its economy and spur domestic demand. This will lead to increased U.S. exports and jobs, on the one hand, and higher living standards in China on the other.展望未来,我们同意推进我们在匹兹堡20国集团峰会上所作的保证,实施经济更平衡增长的策略.根据这一策略,美国要增加储蓄,降低消费,减少长期债务,而中国则要进行各项政策调整以平衡经济,刺激内需.这样,将一方面增加美国的出口和就业机会,另一方面提高中国的生活水平.As President Hu indicated, we also agreed that maintaining open market and free flows of commerce in both our nations will contribute to our shared prosperity. And I was pleased to note the Chinese commitment, made in past statements, to move toward a more market-oriented exchange rate over time. I emphasized in our discussions, and have others in the region, that doing so based on economic fundamentals would make an essential contribution to the global rebalancing effort.如胡主席所说,我们还一致认为,保持我们两国市场的开放和商贸的自由流通将能增进我们的共同繁荣.我很高兴地注意到,中国多次表示了对逐步实现在更大程度上由市场决定汇率的承诺.我在双方以及在与地区其他各方的讨论中强调,这样按照基本经济原理行事将是对全球经济的重新平衡的重大贡献.President Hu and I also made progress on the issue of climate change. As the two largest consumers and producers of energy, there can be no solution to this challenge without the efforts of both China and the United States. That’s why we’ve agreed to a series of important new initiatives in this area. As President Hu indicated, we are creating a joint clean energy research center, and have achieved agreements on energy efficiency, renewable energy, cleaner uses of coal, electric vehicles, and shale gas.胡主席和我在气候变化问题上也取得了进展.作为能源的最大消费国和生产国,没有中美两国的共同努力就无法成功地应对这一挑战.因此我们同意在这一领域采取一系列新的重要行动.胡主席已说明,我们将设立一个清洁能源联合研究中心,我们还就能效、可再生能源、清洁使用煤炭、电动车辆和页岩气等问题达成一致.We also agreed to work toward a successful outcome in Copenhagen. Our aim there, in support of what Prime Minister Rasmussen of Denmark is trying to achieve, is not a partial accord or a political declaration, but rather an accord that covers all of the issues in the negotiations, and one that has immediate operational effect. This kind of comprehensive agreement would be an important step forward in the effort to rally the world around a solution to our climate challenge. And we agreed that each of us would take significant mitigation actions and stand behind these commitments.我们还同意为哥本哈根会议取得成果而努力.为支持丹麦首相拉斯穆森Rasmussen所争取实现的目标,我们将不是致力于一项局部性的协议,也不是一份政治宣言,而是一项包含谈判涉及的所有问题的协议,一项可立即运作的协议.这样的全面协议将使动员全世界共同应对气候挑战的努力向前跨出重要一步.我们同意,双方都将采取重大的减缓行动,坚定地履行这些承诺.On the issue of nonproliferation, President Hu and I discussed our shared commitment to stop the spread of nuclear weapons, and I told him how appreciative I am of China’s support for the global nonproliferation regime as well as the verifiable elimination of North Korea’s nuclear weapons program.在防扩散问题上,胡主席和我讨论了制止核武器扩散的共同承诺,我向胡主席表示了我对中国支持全球防扩散制度和可验证地消除北韩核武器项目的极大赞赏.We agreed on the importance of resuming the six-party talks as soon as possible. As I said in Tokyo, North Korea has a choice: It can continue down the path of confrontation and provocation that has led to less security, less prosperity, and more isolation from the global community, or it can choose to become a full member of the international community, which will give a better life to its people by living up to international obligations and foregoing nuclear weapons.我们一致认为尽快恢复六方会谈是重要的.正如我在东京说过的,北韩面临一个选择：它可以继续沿着对峙挑衅的道路走下去,结果只会是安全更少,繁荣更小,在全球社会中更加孤立；它也可以选择成为国际社会的正式成员,恪守国际义务,放弃核武器,让自己的人民过上更好的生活.In the same way, we agreed that the Islamic Republic of Iran must provide assurances to the international community that its nuclear program is peaceful and transparent. On this point, our two nations and the rest of our P5-plus- partners are unified. Iran has an opportunity to present and demonstrate its peaceful intentions, but if it fails to take this opportunity there will be consequences.同样地,我们也一致认为伊朗伊斯兰共和国必须向国际社会提供保证,保证其核项目是和平而且透明的.在这一点上,我们两国和五常加一的其他伙伴国意见一致.伊朗有此机会展示和表明其和平的目的,但如果它没能利用这次机会,则将面临后果.President Hu and I also discussed our mutual interest in security and stability of Afghanistan and Pakistan. And neither country can or should be used as a base for terrorism, and we agreed to cooperate more on meeting this goal, including bringing about more stable, peaceful relations in all of South Asia.胡锦涛主席和我还讨论了我们对阿富汗和巴基斯坦的安全和稳定的共同利益.这两个国家都不能也不应该成为恐怖分子的基地.我们同意为达到这个目标加深合作,包括在整个南亚建设更稳定、和平的关系.Finally, as I did yesterday in Shanghai, I spoke to President Hu about America’s bedrock beliefs that all men and women possess certain fundamental human rights. Wedo not believe these principles are unique to America, but rather they are universal rights and that they should be available to all peoples, to all ethnic and religious minorities. And our two countries agreed to continue to move this discussion forward in a human rights dialogue that is scheduled for early next year.最后,如同我昨天在上海时一样,我向胡锦涛主席谈了美国的基本信念,即人人都有某些最基本的人权.我们不认为这些原则是美国特有的,它们是普遍的权利.各国人民,各个少数民族和宗教少数派都应该享有.我们两国同意在定于明年年初举行的人权对话中继续推动这种讨论.As President Hu indicated, the United States respects the sovereignty and territorial integrity of China. And once again, we have reaffirmed our strong commitment to a one-China policy.正如胡锦涛主席指出的那样,美国尊重中国的主权和领土完整.我们再次重申对一个中国政策的承诺.We did note that while we recognize that Tibet is part of the People’s Republic of China, the United States supports the early resumption of dialogue between the Chinese government and representatives of the Dalai Lama to resolve any concerns and differenc es that the two sides may have. We also applauded the steps that the People’s Republic of China and Taiwan have already taken to relax tensions and build ties across the Taiwan Strait.我们的确指出,尽管我们承认西藏是中华人民共和国的一部分,但美国支持中国政府与达赖喇嘛的代表早日恢复对话,以解决双方存在的担忧和分歧.我们也对中华人民共和国和台湾已经采取的缓和紧张局势和建立海峡两岸联系的步骤表示赞赏.Our own policy, based on the three communiqués and the Taiwan Relations Act, supports the further development of these ties -- ties that are in the interest of both sides, as well as the broader region and the United States.基于美中三个联合公报和台湾关系法,我们自身的政策是支持继续发展这些关系——这些关系有利于双方,有利于更广大的地区和美国.These are just some of the issues that President Hu and I discussed. But we also know that the relationship between our two nations goes far beyond any single issue. In this young century, the jobs we do, the prosperity we build, the environment we protect, the security that we seek, all these things are shared.这些只是胡锦涛主席和我讨论的问题的一部分.但是,我们也知道,我们两国的关系远远超出任何单一问题.置身这个世纪的初期,我们所做的工作,所创建的繁荣,所保护的环境,所寻求的安全——所有这一切都是共同分享的.Given that interconnection, I do not believe that one country’s success must come at the expense of another. That’s why the United States welcomes China as a strong, prosperous and successful member of the community of nations.鉴于这种相互关联,我不认为一个国家的成功必须以牺牲另一个国家的利益为代价.这就是为什么美国欢迎中国成为国际社会中一个强大、繁荣和成功的成员.Our relationship going forward will not be without disagreement or difficulty. But because of our cooperation, both the United States and China are more prosperous and secure. We’ve seen what’s possible when we build upon our mutual interes ts and engage on the basis of equality and mutual respect. And I very much look forward to deepening that engagement and understanding during this trip and in the months and years to come.我们未来的关系不会没有分歧和困难.但由于我们的合作,美国和中国都更繁荣、更安全.我们已经看到,当我们在互利的基础上发展、在平等和相互尊重的基础上往来时能够取得什么样的成果.我非常期待在这次访问中和在未来的岁月里,加深这种交往和理解.。

米歇尔.奥巴马成都七中演讲全文（中英双语）25日上午10时50分，成都七中艺术楼音乐厅，在持续20秒的热烈掌声后，美国总统奥巴马夫人米歇尔发表此次访华期间的第二场演讲。

她用刚学不久的中文“你好”和“谢谢”作为开场白和结束语，并以讲故事的方式，与成都中学生分享自己的求学经历，强调教育对年轻人的重要性。

Remarks by the First Lady at Number Seven SchoolChengdu, ChinaMarch 25, 2014Ni hao. It is truly a pleasure to be here at the Number Seven School. Thankyou so much for your warm welcome.Now, before I get started, on behalf of myself and my husband, I want to say that our hearts go out to all those with loved ones on Malaysia Airlines Flight 370. As I said this past weekend when I spoke at Peking University, we are very much keeping all of them in our thoughts and our prayers at this tremendously difficult time.So now, let me start by thanking your Principal, Principal Liu, and your classmate, Ju Chao, for that wonderful introduction. Your English, Ju Chao, is excellent, and you should be very proud. Thank you so much. (Applause.) And I want to thank all of the students here today, both those of you here in person and those of you joining remotely from across the region. I’m thrilled to be visiting your wonderful school.Now, in preparation for this visit, before I left the U.S. I visited the Yu Ying School. It’s a public school near the White House in Washington, D.C., and all of the students at this school study Chinese. And I met with the sixth-grade class, kids who are 11 and 12 years old. They had recently taken a trip here to China, and they were bursting with excitement. They were eager to tell me about everything about what they had seen.But they admitted that before their trip, they had all kinds of misconceptions about China. They thought they would see palaces and temples everywhere they went, but instead they found massive cities filled with skyscrapers. They weren’t sure that they’d like the food here in China, but they actually loved it, and they learned how to use chopsticks. And in the end, one of the students told me –- and this is his quote -- he said, “Coming home was really exciting, but was at the same time sad.”Now, meeting these students reminded me that when we live so far away from each other, it’s easy to develop all kinds of misconceptions and stereotypes. It’s easy to focus on our differences –- how we speak different languages and eat different foods and observe different traditions. But as I travel the world, and I meet young people from so many countries, I’m always struck by how much more we have in common. And that’s been particularly true during my visit here in China.You see, the truth is that I grew up like many of you. My mom, my dad, my brother and I, we lived in a tiny apartment in Chicago, which is one of the largest cities in America. My father worked at the local water plant. And we didn’t have much money, but our little home was bursting with love. Every evening, my family would laugh and share stories over dinner. We’d play card games and have fun for hours. And on summer nights, I remember, when our apartment got too hot, we’d all sleep outside on our back porch.Family meant everything to us, including our extended family. My grandparents lived nearby, and my elderly great aunt and uncle lived in the apartment downstairs from us. And when their health started to decline my parents stepped in, helping myuncle shave and dress each morning, dashing downstairs in the middle of the night to check on my aunt.So in my family, like in so many of your families, we took care of each other. And while we certainly weren’t rich, my parents had big dreams for me and my brother. They had only a high school education themselves, but they were determined to send us both to universities.So they poured all of their love and all of their hope into us, and they worked hard. They saved every penny. And I know that wasn’t easy for them, especially for my father. You see, my father had a serious illness called multiple sclerosis. And as he got sicker, it got harder for him to walk, and it took him longer to get dressed in the morning.But no matter how tired he felt, no matter how much pain he was in, my father hardly ever missed a day of work, because he was determined to give me and my brother a better life. And every day, like so many of you, I felt the weight of my parents’sacrifices on my shoulders. Every day, I wanted to make them proud.So while most American kids attend public schools near their homes, when it was time for me to attend high school, I took an exam and got into a special public high school where I could get a better education. But the school was very far from my home, so I had to get up early every morning and ride a bus for an hour, sometimes an hour and a half if the weather was bad. And every afternoon, I’d ride that same bus back home and then immediately start my homework, often studying late into the night -- and sometimes I would wake up at 4:30 or 5:00 in the morning to study even more.And it wasn’t easy. But whenever I got tired or discouraged, I would just think about how hard my parents were working for me. And I would remember something my mother always told me –- she said: “A good education is something that no one can take away from you.”And when it was time for me to apply to university, I had many options, because in America, there are many kinds of universities. There are four-year universities. There are two-year community colleges which are less expensive. There are universities where you take classes at night while working during the day. So you don’t have to be a top student to attend a university. And even if your parents don’t have much money or you live in a tiny town in a rural area, in America, you can still attend university. And you can get scholarships and government loans to help pay your tuition.So I attended Princeton University for my undergraduate degree, and I went on to Harvard University for my graduate degree in law. And with those degrees I was able to become a lawyer at a large law firm, and then I worked as an executive at a city hospital, and then I was the director of an organization that helped disadvantagedyoung people.And my story isn’t unusual in America. Some of our most famous athletes, like LeBron James, and artists, like the singer Janelle Monae, came from struggling families like mine, as do many business leaders –like Howard Schultz. He’s the head of a company called Starbucks, which many of you may have heard of. When Mr. Schultz was a boy his father lost his job, leaving their family destitute. But Mr. Schultz worked hard. He got a scholarship to a university, and eventually built the largest coffeehouse company in the world.And then there’s this other guy I know who was raised by a single mother who sometimes struggled to afford food for their family. But like me, this guy got scholarships and loans to attend universities. He became a lawyer and a professor, and then he was a state senator and then a national senator. And then, he became President of the United States. This guy I’m talking about is my husband, Barack Obama. (Applause.)These stories are the stories of so many Americans, and of America itself. Because in America, we believe that no matter where you live or how much money your parents have, or what race or religion or ethnicity you are, if you work hard and believe in yourself, then you should have a chance to succeed. We also believe that everyone is equal, and that we all have the right to say what we think and worship as we choose, even when others don’t like what we say or don’t always agree with what we believe.Now of course, living up to these ideals isn’t always easy. And there have been times in our history where we have fallen short. Many decades ago, there were actually laws in America that allowed discrimination against black people like me, who are a minority in the United States. But over time, ordinary citizens decided that those laws were unfair. So they held peaceful protests and marches. They called on government officials to change those laws, and they voted to elect new officials who shared their views.And slowly but surely, America changed. We got rid of those unjust laws. And today, just 50 years later, my husband and I are President and First Lady of the United States. And that is really the story of America –- how over the course of our short history, through so many trials and struggles, we have become more equal, more inclusive, and more free.And today in America, people of every race, religion and ethnicity live together and work together to build a better life for their children and grandchildren. And in the end, that deep yearning to leave something better for those who come after us, that is something we all truly share. In fact, there’s a Chinese saying that I love that says, “To achieve true happiness, help the next generation.”And like so many of your parents, my parents sacrificed so much so that I could have opportunities they never dreamed of. And today, as a mother myself, I want even more opportunities for my own daughters. But of course, as I always tell my daughters, with opportunities come obligations.And that is true for all of you as well. You all have the opportunity to receive an education from this wonderful school, and you all have an obligation to take the fullest advantage of this opportunity. And I know that’s exactly what you all are doing.You’re winning prizes in math and science. Here, you are staging musical performances around the world. You’re volunteering in your communities. And many of you are working hard to get an education your parents never dreamed of.So you all have so much to offer –- and that’s a good thing, because the world needs your talent. The world needs your creativity and energy more than ever before. Because we face big challenges that know no borders –- like improving the quality of our air and water, ensuring that people have good jobs, stopping the spread of disease. And soon, it will all fall to all of you to come together with people on every continent and solve these problems together.Now, fortunately, here at this wonderful school, you’re already well on your way. For more than a decade, you’ve been building special relationships with a American school in -- an American high school, and many of you will attend universities in America or find other ways to reach out beyond your borders.So in the years ahead, much like you and I are doing here today, you will be creating bonds of friendship across the globe that will last for decades to come. And over the past week, as I have seen both the ancient wonders and the modern achievements of your fascinating country, and as I’ve met with extraordinary young people like all of you, I am more confident than ever before in our shared future. And I cannot wait to see everything that you will achieve here in China and around the world.Thank you again for hosting me and my family at this extraordinary school, and I wish you all the best of luck in your journey ahead. Xie-Xie. (Applause.)米歇尔在成都七中演讲全文奇速英语整理你好。
