We could not have a more beautiful day for this annual picnic, and we are just thrilled （兴奋的，激动的） that all of you had a chance to get over （获得，得到）. I know that folks were running a little bit late, many of you because of votes. But, you know, the fact of the matter is, is that we have had as tough a year and a half as America has seen in a couple of generations, and that's meant that Congress has had to do more on a whole range of issues.Right now obviously we’re looking at what’s happening in the Gulf 1 with deep concern, and that's going to put more additional pressure on Congress to work with states and the administration to help deal with this tragedy and this crisis.It is important, though, given the incredible sacrifices that so many of you have made and frankly 2 , from my perspective （远景，观点） , just as important are the sacrifices that your family makes -- you being away, you missing family events -- that every once in a while（偶尔，时常） we have an opportunity to get together and for me to say thank you to you for your incredible devotion to the country, regardless ofparty, and for both Michelle and I to say to your families how grateful we are for your service, and hopefully to have a little bit of time for fun and for fellowship and to remind ourselves of what’s so important in life.So I’m thrilled to see all the young people here who are here today. And we hope that you have a wonderful time.Band, you guys are great as always. (Applause.) Chefs, I think people are all voting with their mouths around here. (Applause.) I suspect there’s not going to be a lot of leftovers 3 （遗留，剩余物） .And on behalf of Michelle and myself, we hope that you enjoy the evening, and we are grateful to all of you for being here.So thank you very much.

London Summit –Leaders’ Statement2 April 20091. We, the Leaders of the Group of Twenty, met in London on 2 April 2009.2. We face the greatest challenge to the world economy in modern times; a crisis which has de epened since we last met, which affects the lives of women, men, and children in every country, and which all countries must join together to resolve. A global crisis requires a global solution.3. We start from the belief that prosperity is indivisible; that growth, to be sustained, has to be shared; and that our global plan for recovery must have at its heart the needs and jobs of hard-wor king families, not just in developed countries but in emerging markets and the poorest countries of th e world too; and mu st reflect the interests, not just of today’s population, but of future generations to o. We believe that the only sure foundation for sustainable globalisation and rising prosperity for all i s an open world economy based on market principles, effective regulation, and strong global institutio ns.4. We have today therefore pledged to do whatever is necessary to:restore confidence, growth, and jobs;∙repair the financial system to restore∙lending;strengthen financial regulation to rebuild∙trust;fund and reform our international financial∙institutions to overcome this crisis and prevent futu re ones;promote global trade and investment and reject∙protectionism, to underpin prosperity; andbuild an inclusive, green, and sustainable∙recovery.By acting together to fulfil these pledges we will bring the world economy out of recession and prevent a crisis like this from recurring in the future.5. The agreements we have reached today, to treble resources available to the IMF to $750 billi on, to support a new SDR allocation of $250 billion, to support at least $100 billion of additional le nding by the MDBs, to ensure $250 billion of support for trade finance, and to use the additional res ources from agreed IMF gold sales for concessional finance for the poorest countries, constitute an ad ditional $1.1 trillion programme of support to restore credit, growth and jobs in the world economy. Together with the measures we have each taken nationally, this constitutes a global plan for recovery on an unprecedented scale.Restoring growth and jobs6. We are undertaking an unprecedented and concerted fiscal expansion, which will save or create millions of jobs which would otherwise have been destroyed, and that will, by the end of next yea r, amount to $5 trillion, raise output by 4 per cent, and accelerate the transition to a green economy. We are committed to deliver the scale of sustained fiscal effort necessary to restore growth.7. Our central banks have also taken exceptional action. Interest rates have been cut aggressively in most countries, and our central banks have pledged to maintain expansionary policies for as long as needed and to use the full range of monetary policy instruments, including unconventional instrume nts, consistent with price stability.8. Our actions to restore growth cannot be effective until we restore domestic lending and intern ational capital flows. We have provided significant and comprehensive support to our banking systems to provide liquidity, recapitalise financial institutions, and address decisively the problem of impaired assets. We are committed to take all necessary actions to restore the normal flow of credit through t he financial system and ensure the soundness of systemically important institutions, implementing our policies in line with the agreed G20 framework for restoring lending and repairing the financial secto r.9. Taken together, these actions will constitute the largest fiscal and monetary stimulus and the most comprehensive support programme for the financial sector in modern times. Acting together stre ngthens the impact and the exceptional policy actions announced so far must be implemented without delay. Today, we have further agreed over $1 trillion of additional resources for the world economy through our international financial institutions and trade finance.10. Last month the IMF estimated that world growth in real terms would resume and rise to ov er 2 percent by the end of 2010. We are confident that the actions we have agreed today, and our u nshakeable commitment to work together to restore growth and jobs, while preserving long-term fiscal sustainability, will accelerate the return to trend growth. We commit today to taking whatever action is necessary to secure that outcome, and we call on the IMF to assess regularly the actions taken a nd the global actions required.11. We are resolved to ensure long-term fiscal sustainability and price stability and will put in place credible exit strategies from the measures that need to be taken now to support the financial se ctor and restore global demand. We are convinced that by implementing our agreed policies we will l imit the longer-term costs toour economies, thereby reducing the scale of the fiscal consolidation necessary over the longer t erm.12. We will conduct all our economic policies cooperatively and responsibly with regard to the impact on other countries and will refrain from competitive devaluation of our currencies and promote a stable and well-functioning international monetary system. We will support, now and in the future, to candid, even-handed, and independent IMF surveillance of our economies and financial sectors, of the impact of our policies on others, and of risks facing the global economy.Strengthening financial supervision and regulation13. Major failures in the financial sector and in financial regulation and supervision were funda mental causes of the crisis. Confidence will not be restored until we rebuild trust in our financial sys tem. We will take action to build a stronger, more globally consistent, supervisory and regulatory fra mework for the future financial sector, which will support sustainable global growth and serve the ne eds of business and citizens.14. We each agree to ensure our domestic regulatory systems are strong. But we also agree to establish the much greater consistency and systematic cooperation between countries, and the framewor k of internationally agreed high standards, that a global financial system requires. Strengthened regulat ion and supervision must promote propriety, integrity and transparency; guard against risk across the f inancial system; dampen rather than amplify the financial and economic cycle; reduce reliance on inap propriately risky sources of financing; and discourage excessive risk-taking. Regulators and supervisors must protect consumers and investors, support market discipline, avoid adverse impacts on other cou ntries, reduce the scope for regulatory arbitrage, support competition and dynamism, and keep pace wi th innovation in the marketplace.15. To this end we are implementing the Action Plan agreed at our last meeting, as set out in t he attached progress report. We have today also issued a Declaration, Strengthening the Financial Syst em. In particular we agree:to establish a new Financial Stability Board (FSB)∙with a strengthened mandate, as a successo r to the Financial Stability Forum (FSF), including all G20 countries, FSF members, Spain, and the E uropean Commission;that the FSB should collaborate with the IMF to∙provide early warning of macroeconomic and financial risks and the actions needed to address them;to reshape our regulatory systems so that our∙authorities are able to identify and take account of macro-prudential risks;to extend regulation and oversight to all∙systemically important financial institutions, instrument s and markets. This will include, for the first time, systemically important hedge funds;to endorse and implement the FSF’s tough new∙principles on pay and compensation and to su pport sustainable compensation schemes and the corporate social responsibility of all firms;to take action, once recovery is assured, to∙improve the quality, quantity, and international con sistency of capital in the banking system. In future, regulation must prevent excessive leverage and re quire buffers of resources to be built up in good times;to take action against non-cooperative∙jurisdictions, including tax havens. We stand ready to d eploy sanctions to protect our public finances and financial systems. The era of banking secrecy is ov er. We note that the OECD has today published a list of countries assessed by the Global Forum ag ainst the international standard for exchange of tax information;to call on the accounting standard setters to work∙urgently with supervisors and regulators to i mprove standards on valuation and provisioning and achieve a single set of high-quality global accoun ting standards; andto extend regulatory oversight and registration to∙Credit Rating Agencies to ensure they meet t he international code of good practice, particularly to prevent unacceptable conflicts of interest.16. We instruct our Finance Ministers to complete the implementation of these decisions in line with the timetable set out in the Action Plan. We have asked the FSB and the IMF to monitor progr ess, working with the Financial Action Taskforce and other relevant bodies, and to provide a report t o the next meeting of our Finance Ministers in Scotland in November.Strengthening our global financial institutions17. Emerging markets and developing countries, which have been the engine of recent world gro wth, are also now facing challenges which are adding to the current downturn in the global economy. It is imperative for global confidence and economic recovery that capital continues to flow to them. This will require a substantial strengthening of the international financial institutions, particularly theIMF. We have therefore agreed today to make available an additional $850 billion of resources through the global financial institutions to support growth in emerging market and developing countrie s by helping to finance counter-cyclical spending, bank recapitalisation, infrastructure, trade finance, ba lance of payments support, debt rollover, and social support. To this end:we have agreed to increase the resources available∙to the IMF through immediate financing fr om members of $250 billion, subsequently incorporated into an expanded and more flexible New Arra ngements to Borrow, increased by up to $500 billion, and to consider market borrowing if necessary; andwe support a substantial increase in lending of at∙least $100 billion by the Multilateral Develo pment Banks (MDBs), including to low income countries, and ensure that all MDBs, including have t he appropriate capital.18. It is essential that these resources can be used effectively and flexibly to support growth. We welcome in this respect the progress made by the IMF with its new Flexible Credit Line (FCL) an d its reformed lending and conditionality framework which will enable the IMF to ensure that its faci lities address effectively the underlying causes of countries’ balance of payments financing needs, parti cularly the withdrawal of external capital flows to the banking and corporate sectors. We support Me xico’s decision to seek an FCL arrangement.19. We have agreed to support a general SDR allocation which will inject $250 billion into the world economy and increase global liquidity, and urgent ratification of the Fourth Amendment.20. In order for our financial institutions to help manage the crisis and prevent future crises we must strengthen their longer term relevance, effectiveness and legitimacy. So alongside the significant increase in resources agreed today we are determined to reform and modernise the international finan cial institutions to ensure they can assist members and shareholders effectively in the new challenges they face. We will reform their mandates, scope and governance to reflect changes in the world econ omy and the new challenges of globalisation, and that emerging and developing economies, including the poorest, must have greater voice and representation. This must be accompanied by action to incre ase the credibility and accountability of the institutions through better strategic oversight and decision making. To this end:we commit to implementing the package of IMF quota∙and voice reforms agreed in April 200 8 and call on the IMF to complete the next review of quotas by January 2011;we agree that, alongside this, consideration∙should be given to greater involvement of the Fun d’s Governors in providing strategic direction to the IMF and increasing its accountability;we commit to implementing the World Bank reforms∙agreed in October 2008. We look forwar d to further recommendations, at the next meetings, on voice and representation reforms on an acceler ated timescale, to be agreed by the 2010 Spring Meetings;we agree that the heads and senior leadership of∙the international financial institutions should be appointed through an open, transparent, and merit-based selection process; andbuilding on the current reviews of the IMF and∙World Bank we asked the Chairman, working with the G20 Finance Ministers, to consult widely in an inclusive process and report back to the ne xt meeting with proposals for further reforms to improve the responsiveness and adaptability of the IF Is.21. In addition to reforming our international financial institutions for the new challenges of glo balisation we agreed on the desirability of a new global consensus on the key values and principles t hat will promote sustainable economic activity. We support discussion on such a charter for sustainabl e economic activity with a view to further discussion at our next meeting. We take note of the work started in other fora in this regard and look forward to further discussion of this charter for sustaina ble economic activity.Resisting protectionism and promoting global trade and investment22. World trade growth has underpinned rising prosperity for half a century. But it is now falling for the first time in 25 years. Falling demand is exacerbated by growing protectionist pressures and a withdrawal of trade credit. Reinvigorating world trade and investment is essential for restoring glo bal growth. We will not repeat the historic mistakes of protectionism of previous eras. To this end:we reaffirm the commitment made in Washington: to∙refrain from raising new barriers to inve stment or to trade in goods and services, imposing new export restrictions, or implementing World Tr ade Organisation (WTO)inconsistent measures to stimulate exports. In addition we will rectify promptly any such measur es. We extend this pledge to the end of 2010;we will minimise any negative impact on trade and∙investment of our domestic policy actions including fiscal policy and action in support of the financial sector. We will not retreat into financia l protectionism, particularly measures that constrain worldwide capital flows, especially to developing countries;we will notify promptly the WTO of any such∙measures and we call on the WTO, together with other international bodies, within their respective mandates, to monitor and report publicly on ou r adherence to these undertakings on a quarterly basis;we will take, at the same time, whatever steps we∙can to promote and facilitate trade and inv estment; andwe will ensure availability of at least $250∙billion over the next two years to support trade fi nance through our export credit and investment agencies and through the MDBs. We also ask our reg ulators to make use of available flexibility in capital requirements for trade finance.23. We remain committed to reaching an ambitious and balanced conclusion to the Doha Develo pment Round, which is urgently needed. This could boost the global economy by at least $150 billio n per annum. To achieve this we are committed to building on the progress already made, including with regard to modalities.24. We will give renewed focus and political attention to this critical issue in the coming period and will use our continuing work and all international meetings that are relevant to drive progress.Ensuring a fair and sustainable recovery for all25. We are determined not only to restore growth but to lay the foundation for a fair and susta inable world economy. We recognise that the current crisis has a disproportionate impact on the vulne rable in the poorest countries and recognise our collective responsibility to mitigate the social impact of the crisis to minimise long-lasting damage to global potential. To this end:we reaffirm our historic commitment to meeting the∙Millennium Development Goals and to ac hieving our respective ODA pledges, including commitments on Aid for Trade, debt relief, and the G leneagles commitments, especially to sub-Saharan Africa;the actions and decisions we have taken today will∙provide $50 billion to support social prote ction, boost trade and safeguard development in low income countries, as part of the significant incre ase in crisis support for these and other developing countries and emerging markets;we are making available resources for social∙protection for the poorest countries, including thr ough investing in long-term food security and through voluntary bilateral contributions to the World B ank’s Vulnerability Framework, including the Inf rastructure Crisis Facility, and the Rapid Social Respo nse Fund;we have committed, consistent with the new income∙model, that additional resources from agr eed sales of IMF gold will be used, together with surplus income, to provide $6 billion additional co ncessional and flexible finance for the poorest countries over the next 2 to 3 years. We call on the I MF to come forward with concrete proposals at the Spring Meetings;we have agreed to review the flexibility of the∙Debt Sustainability Framework and call on the IMF and World Bank to report to the IMFC and Development Committee at the Annual Meetings; andwe call on the UN, working with other global∙institutions, to establish an effective mechanism to monitor the impact of the crisis on the poorest and most vulnerable.26. We recognise the human dimension to the crisis. We commit to support those affected by the crisis by creating employment opportunities and through income support measures. We will build a fair and family-friendly labour market for both women and men. We therefore welcome the reports ofthe London Jobs Conference and the Rome Social Summit and the key principles they proposed. We will support employment by stimulating growth, investing in education and training, and through acti ve labour market policies, focusing on the most vulnerable. We call upon the ILO, working with othe r relevant organisations, to assess the actions taken and those required for the future.27. We agreed to make the best possible use of investment funded by fiscal stimulus programm es towards the goal of building a resilient, sustainable, and green recovery. We will make the transiti on towards clean, innovative, resource efficient, low carbon technologies and infrastructure. We encour age the MDBs to contribute fully to the achievement of this objective. We will identify and work to gether on further measures to build sustainable economies.28. We reaffirm our commitment to address the threat of irreversible climate change, based on t he principle of common but differentiated responsibilities, and to reach agreement at the UN Climate Change conference in Copenhagen in December 2009.Delivering our commitments29. We have committed ourselves to work together with urgency and determination to translate t hese words into action. We agreed to meet again before the end of this year to review progress on o ur commitments.

奥巴马总统在加拿大国会演讲稿前任美国总统奥巴马是政坛名人，凭着一次演讲闻名全美走上总统之路。

他的很多演讲是非常优秀的演讲，下面小编为大家分享奥巴马的演讲稿。

美国总统奥巴马就巴黎恐怖袭击事件发表讲话THE PRESIDENT: Good evening, everybody. I just want to make a few brief comments about the attacks across Paris tonight. Once again, we've seen an outrageous attempt to terrorize innocent civilians. This is an attack not just on Paris, it's an attack not just on the people of France, but this is an attack on all of humanity and the universal values that we share.We stand prepared and ready to provide whatever assistance that the government and the people of France need to respond. France is our oldest ally. The French people have stood shoulder to shoulder with the United States time and again. And we want to be very clear that we stand together with them in the fight against terrorism and extremism.Paris itself represents the timeless values of human progress. Those who think that they can terrorize the people of France or the values that they stand for are wrong. The American people draw strength from the French people's commitment to life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness. We are reminded in this time of tragedy that the bonds of liberté and égalité and fraternité are not only values that the French people care so deeply about, but they are values that we share. And those values are going to endure far beyond any act of terrorism or the hateful vision of those who perpetrated the crimes this evening.We're going to do whatever it takes to work with the French people and with nations around the world to bring theseterrorists to justice, and to go after any terrorist networks that go after our people.We don't yet know all the details of what has happened. We have been in contact with French officials to communicate our deepest condolences to the families of those who have been killed, to offer our prayers and thoughts to those who have been wounded. We have offered our full support to them. The situation is still unfolding. I've chosen not to call President Hollande at this time, because my expectation is that he's very busy at the moment. I actually, by coincidence, was talking to him earlier today in preparation for the G20 meeting. But I am confident that I'll be in direct communications with him in the next few days, and we'll be coordinating in any ways that they think are helpful in the investigation of what's happened.This is a heartbreaking situation. And obviously those of us here in the United States know what it's like. We've gone through these kinds of episodes ourselves. And whenever these kinds of attacks happened, we've always been able to count on the French people to stand with us. They have been an extraordinary counterterrorism partner, and we intend to be there with them in that same fashion.I'm sure that in the days ahead we'll learn more about exactly what happened, and my teams will make sure that we are in communication with the press to provide you accurate information. I don't want to speculate at this point in terms of who was responsible for this. It appears that there may still be live activity and dangers that are taking place as we speak. And so until we know from French officials that the situation is under control, and we have for more information about it, I don't want to speculate.Thank you very much.奥巴马总统在加拿大国会演讲稿Thank you so much. Thank you. Please, everyone have a seat.Good evening. Bonjour. Mr. Prime Minister, Mr. Speaker, members of the House, members of the Senate, distinguished guests, people of Canada -- thank you for this extraordinary welcome, which temps me to just shut up and leave.Because it can't get any better than this.Obviously I'm grateful for the warm welcome. I'm extraordinarily grateful for the close working relationship and friendship with your outstanding Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, and his extraordinary wife, Sophie.But I think it's fair to say that much of this greeting is simply a reflection of the extraordinary alliance and deep friendship between Canadians and Americans.Justin, thank you for your very kind words, and for the new energy and hope that your leadership has brought to your nation as well as to the alliance. My time in office may be nearing an end, but I know that Canada -- and the world -- will benefit from your leadership for years to come.So Canada was the very first country that I visited as President. It was in February.It was colder.I was younger.Michelle now refers to my hair as the Great White North.And on that visit, I strolled around the ByWard Market, tried a “beaver tail” - which is better than it sounds.And I was struck then, as I am again today, by the warmth of the Canadians. I could not be more honored to be joining you in this historic hall -- this cathedral of freedom. And we Americanscan never say it enough -- we could not ask for a better friend or ally than Canada.We could not. It’s true. It is true. And we do not take it for granted.That does not mean we don't have our differences. As I understand it, one of the reasons the Queen chose this site for Parliament was that it was a safe distance from America’s border.And I admit, in the War of 1812, American troops did some damage to Toronto. I suspect that there were some people up here who didn’t mind when the British returned the favor and burned down the White House.It was the grit of pioneers and prospectors who pushed West across a forbidding frontier. The dreams of generations -- immigrants, refugees -- that we’ve welcomed to these shores. The hope of run-away slaves who went north on an underground railroad. “Deep in our history of struggle,” said Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., “Canada was the north star… The freedom road links us together.”We’re bound as well by the service of those who’ve defended us -- at Flanders Field, the beaches of Normandy, in the skies of the Balkans, and more recently, in the mountains of Afghanistan, and training bases in Iraq. Their sacrifice is reflected in the silent rows of Arlington and in the Peace Tower above us. Today we honor those who gave their lives for all of us.We’re linked together, as well, by the institutions that we’ve built to keep the peace: A United Nations to advance our collective aspirations. A NATO alliance to ensure our security. NORAD, where Americans and Canadians stand watch side by side -- and track Santa on Christmas Eve.We’re linked by a vast web of commerce that carries goodsfrom one end of this continent to another. And we're linked by the ties of friendship and family -- in my case, an outstanding brother-in-law in Burlington.Had to give Burlington a shout out.Our relationship is so remarkable precisely because it seems so unremarkable -- which is why Americans often are surprised when our favorite American actor or singer turns out to be Canadian!The point is we see ourselves in each other, and our lives are richer for it.As President, I’ve deepened the ties between our countries. And because of the progress we’ve made in recent years, I can stand before you and say that the enduring partnership between Canada and the United States is as strong as it has ever been, and we are more closely aligned than ever before.And yet, we meet at a pivotal moment for our nations and for the globe. From this vibrant capital, we can look upon a world that has benefited enormously from the international order that we helped to build together’ but we can see that same order increasingly strained by the accelerating forces of change. The world is by most every measure less violent than ever before; but it remains riven by old divisions and fresh hatreds. The world is more connected than ever before; but even as it spreads knowledge and the possibility of greater understanding between peoples, it also empowers terrorists who spread hatred and death -- most recently in Orlando and Istanbul.The world is more prosperous than ever before, but alongside globalization and technological wonders we also see a rise in inequality and wage stagnation across the advanced economies, leaving too many workers and communities fearfulof diminishing prospects, not just for themselves, but more importantly, for their children.And in the face of such rising uncertainty, it is not enough to look at aggregate growth rates, or stock prices, or the pace of digital innovation. If the benefits of globalization accrue only to those at the very top, if our democracies seem incapable of assuring broad-based growth and opportunity for everyone, then people will push back, out of anger or out of fear. And politicians -- some sincere, and some entirely cynical -- will tap that anger and fear, harkening back to bygone days of order and predictability and national glory, arguing that we must rebuild walls and disengage from a chaotic world, or rid ourselves of the supposed ills brought on by immigrants -- all in order to regain control of our lives.We saw some of these currents at work this past week in the United Kingdom’s referendum to leave the European Union. Despite some of the initial reactions, I am confident that the process can be managed in a prudent, orderly way. I expect that our friends on both sides of the Channel will develop a workable plan for how to move forward. And I’m equally confident that the Transatlantic values that we all share as liberal, market-based democracies are deeper and stronger than any single event.But while the circumstances of Brexit may be unique to the United Kingdom, the frustrations people felt are not. The short-term fallout of Brexit can be sensibly managed, but the long-term trends of inequality and dislocation and the resulting social division -- those can't be ignored. How we respond to the forces of globalization and technological change will determine the durability of an international order that ensures security and prosperity for future generations.And fortunately, the partnership between the United States and Canada shows the path we need to travel. For our history and our work together speak to a common set of values to build on --proven values, values that your Prime Minister spoke of in his introduction -- values of pluralism and tolerance, rule of law, openness; global engagement and commerce and cooperation, coupled with equal opportunity and an investment in our people at home. As Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau once said, “A country, after all, is not something you build as the pharaohs build the pyramids, and then leave standing there to defy eternity. A country is something that is built every day out of certain basic shared values.” What is true of countries is true of the world. And that's what I want to talk about today -- how to strengthen our institutions to advance these commitments in a rapidly changing world.Let me start with our shared economic vision. In all we do, our commitment to opportunity for all of our people has to be at the centerpiece of our work. We are so fortunate because both of our countries are so well-positioned to succeed in the 21st century. Our two nations know firsthand the awesome power of free markets and innovation. Canadians help run some of Silicon Valley’s most innovative companies. Our students stu dy at each other’s world-class universities. We invest in research and development, and make decisions based on science and evidence. And it works. It's what’s created these extraordinary economies of ours.But if the financial crisis and recent recession taught us anything, it’s that economies do better when everyone has a chance to succeed. For a long time, it was thought that countries had to choose between economic growth or economic inclusion.But it turns out that’s a false choice. If a CEO makes more in a day than a typical employee makes in a year, that kind of inequality is not just bad for morale in the company, it turns out it’s bad for the economy -- that worker is not a very good customer for business.If a young man in Ohio can’t pay his studen t loans, or a young woman in Ontario can’t pay her bills, that has ramifications for our economy. It tamps down the possibilities of growth. So we need growth that is broad and that lifts everybody up -- including tax policies that do right by working families, and robust safety nets for those who fall on hard times. As John Kenneth Galbraith once said, “the common denominator of progress” is our people. It's not numbers, it's not abstractions, it's how are our people doing.Of course, many who share this progressive, inclusive vision can be heard now arguing that investments in our people, protection for our workers, fair tax policies, these things are not enough. For them, globalization is inherently rigged towards the top one percent, and therefore, what’s needed is an end to trade agreements and various international institutions and arrangements that integrate national economies.And I understand that vision. I know why it's tempting. It seems as if we draw a line around our borders that it will give us more control, particularly when the benefits of trade and economic integration are sometimes hard to see or easy to take for granted, and very specific dislocations are obvious and real.There’s just one problem: Restricting trade or giving in to protectionism in this 21st century economy will not work.It will not work. Even if we wanted to, we can't seal ourselves off from the rest of the world. The day after Brexit, people lookedaround and said, oh!How is this going to work? The drag that economic weakness in Europe and China and other countries is having on our own economies right now speaks to the degree to which we depend -- our economies depend, our jobs, our businesses depend -- on selling goods and services around the world.Very few of our domestic industries can sever what is now truly a global supply chain. And so, for those of us who truly believe that our economies have to work for everybody, the answer is not to try and pull back from our interconnected world; it is rather to engage with the rest of the world, to shape the rules so they’re good for our workers and good for our businesses.And the experience between our two nations points the way. The United States and Canada have the largest bilateral trade and investment relationship in the world -- and we are stronger for it.It means a company in Quebec can create jobs in North Carolina. And a start-up in Toronto can attract investment from Texas. Now, the problem is that some economies in many of the fastest-growing regions of the world -- particularly the Asia Pacific region -- don’t always abide by the same rules. They impose unfair tariffs; or they suppress workers’ rights; or they maintain low environmental standards that make it hard for our businesses to compete fairly.With the Trans-Pacific Partnership, we have the ability to not only open up these markets to U.S. and Canadian products and eliminate thousands of these unfair tariffs -- which, by the way, we need to do because they’re already selling here under existing rules, but we're not selling as much as we should over there -- but it also affords us the opportunity to increase protections for workers and the environment, and promotehuman rights, including strong prohibitions against human trafficking and child labor. And that way our workers are competing on a level playing field, and our businesses are less prone to pursue a race to the bottom. And when combined with increased investments in our own people’s education, and skills and training, and infrastructure and research and development and connectivity, then we can spur the kind of sustained growth that makes all of us better off.All of us.The point is we need to look forward, not look backward. And more trade and more people-to-people ties can also help break down old divides. I thank Canada for its indispensable role in hosting our negotiations with the Cuban government, and supporting our efforts to set aside half a century of failed policies to begin a new chapter with the Cuban people.I know a lot of Canadians like going to Cuba -- (laughter) -- maybe because there haven’t been Americans crowding the streets and the beaches. But that’s changing.And as more Americans engage with the Cuban people, it will mean more economic opportunity and more hope for ordinary Cubans.We also agree, us Americans and Canadians, that wealthy countries like ours cannot reach our full potential while others remain mired in poverty. That, too, is not going to change in this interconnected world; that if there is poverty and disease and conf lict in other parts of the world, it spills over, as much as we’d like to pretend that we can block it out.So, with our commitment to new Sustainable Development Goals, we have the chance to end the outrage of extreme poverty.We can bring more electricity to Africa, so that students canstudy at night and businesses can stay open. We can banish the scourge of malaria and Zika. We can realize our goal of the first AIDS-free generation.We can do that. It's within our grasp. And we can help those who are working to replace corruption with transparent, accountable institutions that serve their people.As leaders in global development, the United States and Canada understand that development is not charity -- it’s an investment in our future prosperity.Because not only do such investments and policies help poor countries, they’re going to create billions of customers for U.S. and Canadian products, and they’ll make less likely the spread of deadly epidemics to our shores, and they’ll stabilize parts of the word that threaten the security of our people.In fact, both the United States and Canada believe our own security -- and not just prosperity -- is enhanced when we stand up for the rights of all nations and peoples to live in security and peace.and even as there are times when unilateral action is necessary to defend our people, we believe that in a world where wars between great powers are far less likely but transnational threats like terrorism know no boundaries, our security is best advanced when nations work together. We believe that disputes that do arise between nations should be, wherever possible, resolved peacefully, with diplomacy; that international organizations should be supported; that multilateralism is not a dirty word.And certainly, we’re m ore secure when we stand united against terrorist networks and ideologies that have reached to the very doorstep of this hall. We honor all those taken from usby violent extremists, including Canadians John Ridsdel and Robert Hall.With Canada’s additiona l contributions, including training Iraqi forces, our coalition is on the offensive across Iraq, across Syria. And we will destroy the terrorist group ISIL.We will destroy them.We’ll continue helping local forces and sharing intelligence, from Afghanistan to the Philippines, so that we're pushing back comprehensively against terrorist networks. And in contrast to the hatred and the nihilism of terrorists, we’ll work with partners around the world, including, particularly, Muslim communities, to offer a better vision and a path of development, and opportunity, and tolerance.Because they are, and must be, our partners in this effort.Meanwhile, when nations violate international rules and norms -- such as Russia’s aggression against Ukraine -- the United States and Canada stand united, along with our allies, in defense of our collective security.Doing so requires a range of tools, like economic sanctions, but it also requires that we keep our forces ready for 21st century missions, and invest in new capabilities. As your ally and as your friend, let me say that we’ll be more secure when every NATO member, including Canada, contributes its full share to our common security.Because the Canadian armed forces are really good -- (applause) -- and if I can borrow a phrase, the world needs more Canada. NATO needs more Canada.We need you. We need you.Just as we join together in our common defense, so must we work together diplomatically, particularly to avert war. Diplomacyresults are rarely quick, but it turns out even the most intractable conflicts can be resolved. Here in our own hemisphere, just in the last few weeks, after half a century of war, Colombia is poised to achieve an historic peace.And the nations of North America will be an important partner to Colombia going forward, including working to remove landmines.Around the world, Canadian and American diplomats working together can make a difference. Even in Syria, where the agony and the suffering of the Syrian people tears at our hearts, our two nations continue to be leaders in humanitarian aid to the Syrian people. And although a true resolution of this conflict so far has eluded us, we know that the only solution to this civil war is a political solution, so that the Syrian people can reclaim their country and live in peace. And Canadians and Americans are going to work as hard as we can to make that happen.I should add that here in the nation of Lester Pearson, we reaffirm our commitment to keep strengthening the peacekeeping that saves lives around the world.There is one threat, however, that we cannot solve militarily, nor can we solve alone -- and that is the threat of climate change. Now, climate change is no longer an abstraction. It's not an issue we can put off for the future. It is happening now. It is happening here, in our own countries. The United States and Canada are both Arctic nations, and last year, when I became the first U.S. President to visit the Arctic, I could see the effects myself. Glaciers -- like Canada’s Athabasca G lacier -- are melting at alarming rates. Tundra is burning. Permafrost is thawing. This is not a conspiracy. It's happening. Within a generation, Arctic sea ice may all but disappear in the summer.And so skeptics and cynics can insist on denying what’s right in front of our eyes. But the Alaska Natives that I met, whose ancestral villages are sliding into the sea -- they don't have that luxury. They know climate change is real. They know it is not a hoax. And from Bangladesh to the Pacific islands, rising seas are swallowing land and forcing people from their homes. Around the world, stronger storms and more intense droughts will create humanitarian crises and risk more conflict. This is not just a moral issue, not just a economic issue, it is also an urgent matter of our national security.Thank you very much. Merci beaucoup.奥巴马就儿童教育发表演讲：决定孩子未来的到底是什么？Hello, everybody! (Applause.) Well, it is great to be in Georgia! (Applause.) Great to be in Decatur! (Applause.)I can’t imagine a more romantic way to spend Valentine’s Day -- (laughter) -- than with all of you, with all the press here. Actually, Michelle says hello. (Applause.) She made me promise to get back in time for our date tonight. (Laughter.) That's important. That's important. I've already got a gift, got the flowers. (Applause.) I was telling folks the flowers are a little easier, though, because I've got this Rose Garden. (Laughter.) Lot of people keeping flowers around.I want to acknowledge a few people who are here -- first of all, Congressman Hank Johnson is here. Where’s Hank? (Applause.) Your Mayor, Jim Baskett, is here. (Applause.) Another Mayor you may know -- Kasim Reed snuck in here. (Applause.) I want to acknowledge the Decatur School Board, who I had a chance to meet and has helped to do so much great work around here. (Applause.) Folks right here.And of course, I want to thank Mary for the wonderfulintroduction and for teaching me how to count earlier today. (Laughter.) I've got to tell you it was wonderful to be there. I want to thank all the teachers and the parents and the administrators of Decatur City Schools, because behind every child who is doing great there is a great teacher, and I’m proud of every single one of you for the work that you do here today. (Applause.) Now, on Tuesday, I delivered my State of the Union address. And I laid out a plan for reigniting what I believe is the true engine of America’s economic growth, and that is a thriving, growing, rising middle class. And that also means ladders for people to get into the middle class. And the plan I put forward says we need to make smart choices as a country -- both to grow our economy, shrink our deficits in a balanced way by cutting what we don’t need but then investing in the things that we do need to make sure that everybody has a chance to get ahead in life.What we need is to make America a magnet for new jobs by investing in manufacturing, and energy, and better roads and bridges and schools. We’ve got to make sure hard work is rewarded with a wage that you can live on and raise a family on.We need to make sure that we've got shared responsibility for giving every American the chance to earn the skills and education that they need for a really competitive, global job market.As I said on Tuesday night, that education has to start at the earliest possible age. And that’s what you have realized here in Decatur. (Applause.) Study after study shows that the earlier a child begins learning, the better he or she does down the road. But here’s the thing: We are not doing enough to give all of our kids that chance. The kids we saw today that I had a chance tospend time with in Mary's classroom, they're some of the lucky ones -- because fewer than 3 in 10 four-year-olds are enrolled in a high-quality preschool program.Most middle-class parents can’t afford a few hundred bucks a week for private preschool. And for the poor children who need it the most, the lack of access to a great preschool education can have an impact on their entire lives. And we all pay a price for that. And as I said, this is not speculation. Study after study shows the achievement gap starts off very young. Kids who, when they go into kindergarten, their first day, if they already have a lot fewer vocabulary words, they don’t know their numbers and their shapes and have the capacity for focus, they're going to be behind that first day. And it's very hard for them to catch up over time.And then, at a certain point -- I bet a lot of teachers have seen this -- kids aren't stupid. They know they’re behind at a certain point, and then they start pulling back, and they act like they're disinterested in school because they're frustrated that they're not doing as well as they should, and then you may lose them.And that’s why, on Tuesday night, I proposed worki ng with states like Georgia to make high-quality preschool available to every child in America. Every child. (Applause.)Every dollar we invest in high-quality early education can save more than seven dollars later on -- boosting graduation rates, reducing teen pregnancy, reducing violent crime. In states like Georgia that have made it a priority to educate our youngest children, states like Oklahoma, students don’t just show up in kindergarten and first grade more prepared to learn, they're also more likely to grow up reading and doing math at grade level,graduating from high school, holding a job, even forming more stable families.Hope is found in what works. This works. We know it works. If you are looking for a good bang for your educational buck, this is it right here. (Applause.)That’s why, even in times of tight budgets, states like Georgia and Oklahoma have worked to make a preschool slot available for nearly every parent who is looking for one for their child. And they're being staffed with folks like Mary -- qualified, highly educated teachers. This is not babysitting. This is teaching. (Applause.)So at the age that our children are just sponges soaking stuff in, their minds are growing fastest, what we saw in the classroom here today was kids ar e taught numbers, they’re taught shapes, but also how to answer questions, discover patterns, play well with others. And the teachers who were in the classroom, they’ve got a coach who’s coming in and working with them on best practices and paying attention to how they can constantly improve what they’re doing.And that whole playing well with others, by the way, is a trait we could use more in Washington. (Applause.) So maybe we need to bring the teachers up -- (applause) -- every once in a while have some quiet time. (Laughter.) Time out. (Laughter.) So at the College Heights Early Childhood Learning Center that I visited earlier today, nearly 200 little kids are spending full days learning in classrooms with highly qualified teachers. (Applause.) And so I was working with them to build towers and replicate sculptures and sing songs. And, look, I’ve got to admit, I was not always the fastest guy on some of this stuff. (Laughter.) The kids were beating me to the punch. But through this。

奥巴马演讲会见美联储主席伯南克THE PRESIDENT: Well, I just had an excellent conversation with Chairman Bernanke. This is a periodic discussion that we have to get the Chairman’s assessment 1 of the economy and to discuss some of the policy initiatives that we have here at the White House.I think in our discussions, we share the view that the economy is strengthening, that we are into recovery, thatit’s actually led by some interesting sectors 3 like manufacturing that we haven’t seen in quite some time -- the tech sectors are strong; we have gone from losing750,000 jobs per month to five months of job growth now; private sector 2 （私营部门） job growth that is obviously so important to consumer confidence and the well-being 4 of the economy overall.But w hat we also agreed is that we’ve still got a lot of work to do. There is a great concern about the 8 million jobs that were lost during the course of these last two years, and that we’ve got to continually push the pace of economic growth in order to put people back to work. That ultimately is the measure for most Americans of how well the economy is doing.And although we’ve seen corporate 5 profits go up, we have seen some very positive trends in a number of sectors, unfortunately, because of the troubles that we’ve seen in Europe, we’re now seeing some headwinds（逆风，顶头风）and some skittishness 6 （活泼好动，易惊） and nervousness on the part of the markets and on part of business and investors 7 . And so we’re still going to have to work through that.The thing that I think both of us emphasized was that if we can make sure that we continue to do the things that we’re doing, deal with folks who need help -- so passing unemployment insurance, for example; making sure that we are working to get credit flowing to small businesses that are still having some difficulties in the credit markets; strengthening consumer confidence -- then we think that the general trends will be good, but we’re going to have to keep on paying a lot of attention to the labor 8 markets and helping 9 people who have been displaced during the last couple of years get back into the labor market. So that’s going to be a major challenge.We also talked about the financial regulatory reform package that has now cleared both the House and the Senateconferees. It will now be going to both the House and the Senate. This was a result of terrific work, I think, by my economic team, by members of the committee and Chairman Dodd and Chairman Frank, and some good advice from Chairman Bernanke in consultation 10 during this process.Not only will completion of the financial regulatory reform bill provide some certainty to the markets about how we are going to prevent a crisis like this from happening again, but it also ensures that consumers are going to be protected like never before on all the things day to day that involve interactions with the financial system. From credit card debt to mortgages（抵押贷款） , consumers are going to have the kinds of protections that they have not had before.We’re going to be taking a whole range of financial instruments that had been in the shadows and we’re going to be putting them in the light of day so that regulators can provide the oversight 11 that potentially would prevent a future crisis. We’re going to be in a position to resolve the failure of one institution without seeing it infect the entire financial system.And this weekend at the G20, we talked about how we can coordinate 12 effectively with the international communityto make sure that high standards for capital and reduced leverage 13 （手段，影响力） apply not just here in the United States but across the board.So, overall, I think that, listening to Chairman Bernanke, I continue to be convinced that with financial regulatory reform in place, with a recovery well underway, that we have enormous potential to build on the hard work that’s been done by this team and put people back to work and keep this recovery and the economy growing over the next several years.But we can’t let up.We’re going to have to continue to be vigilant 14 （警惕的，注意的） . I know that the Chairman feels the same way with respect to his role. And we look forward to working together in our respective institutions to make sure that we keep this recovery going on track.CHAIRMAN BERNANKE: Thank you. We had a wide-ranging discussion; I’m very appreciative 15 of the chance to do that. We talked about the outlook for the economy. We talked about financial regulatory reform. The President talked about some of the issues in that area. But I think very importantly, we also talked a lot about the international context. What’s happening around the worldin the emerging markets, in Europe, affects us here in the United States and it’s important fo r us to take that global perspective as we discuss the economy.THE PRESIDENT: All right.Q Mr. President, are you at all concerned that the passing of Senator Byrd jeopardizes 16 （危害） regulatory reform? And how big a blow would that be to the economic recovery?THE PRESIDENT: Well, I’m concerned about the fact that a giant of the Senate and a personal friend of mine passed away. I don’t think about that in the context of financial regulatory reform.I’m confident that given the pac kage that has been put together, that senators, hopefully on both sides of the aisle 17 , recognize it’s time we put in place rules that prevent taxpayer 18 bailouts（救助，跳伞） and make sure that we don’t have a financial crisis that can tank the economy. And I think there’s going to be enough interest in moving reform forward that we’re going to get this done.But when I think about Senator Byrd, what I think about issomebody who, during the course of an unparalleled（无比的，无双的） career, not only helped to transform the institutionof the Senate but, through his own personal transformation 19 , embodied 20 the kind of changes in America that have made us more equal, more just, more fair. And he will be sorely missed.END 10:51 A.M. EDT■文章重点单词注释：1assessmentn.评价；评估；对财产的估价，被估定的金额参考例句：This is a very perceptive assessment of the situation.这是一个对该情况的极富洞察力的评价。

奥巴马在G20匹兹堡峰会记者会讲话Good afternoon. Let me, first of all, thank Mayor Luke Ravenstahl, County Executive Dan Onorato, and the people of Pittsburgh for being just extraordinary hosts. Last night during the dinner that I had with world leaders, so many of them commented on the fact that sometime in the past they had been to Pittsburgh -- in some cases it was 20 or 25 or 30 years ago -- and coming back they were so impressed with the revitalization of the city. A number of them remarked on the fact that it pointed to lessons that they could take away in revitalizing manufacturing towns in their home countries. The people here have been just extraordinary, and so I want to thank all of you for the great hospitality.总统：下午好。

首先请允许我对市长卢克·雷文斯塔尔、郡长丹·奥诺拉托和匹兹堡市民如此盛情的接待表示感谢。

昨天晚上，我与来自全世界的领导人共同出席晚宴，席间很多人都发表了自己的感想，因为他们以前曾经来过匹兹堡 -- 有些是20年、25年前，甚至30年前的事 -- 但他们今日故地重游，都为这座城市重新焕发青春不胜感佩。

对美国总统奥巴马上台后中美关系未来走向的看法[摘要] 回顾50多年来中国的对美政策和中美关系的历史，双方既有尖锐的对立，也有真诚的合作。

其深刻的原因就在于，中美之间存在着许多共同的战略利益。

因此，展望21世纪的中美关系，我们有理由表示审慎的乐观。

当然，影响两国关系的负面因素也不容忽视，诸如人权问题、贸易问题、军售问题和台湾问题等，然而，只要中美双方能够站在历史的高度，用战略的眼光来处理中美关系，中美关系就会沿着健康的轨道顺利前进。

关键字:美国总统奥巴马中美关系未来走向乐观态度一．历史上中美关系冷战后的中美关系也曾经出现了多次起伏和危机，但是中美关系并未破裂，反而加深了。

在克林顿时代，中美关系的定位是“建设性的合作伙伴关系”，美国对中国的“孤立政策”破产，中美关系缓和。

而在九一一恐怖袭击事件后，中美关系出现了好转迹象，江泽民与布什通了电话，表明中国反对一切形式恐怖主义的立场，美国表示布什将如期出席APEC，双方还进行了反恐怖主义方面的合作。

客观地说，九一一不幸事件成为中美改善关系的契机，它将使美国重新考虑国际安全的威胁因素，从而在某种程度上改变对华政策。

但是，如果双方不进一步努力，中美关系的改善将会是非常有限的，也很难比克林顿时代有更大进步。

在美国解决了当前的反恐怖主义战役后，中美关系中潜在的问题会重新突显出来。

如果双方特别是中国，不找到全面改善关系的应循之道，对中美关系前景过分乐观就缺乏根据。

二．奥巴马访华美国总统奥巴马上台后，向中国提出希望将中美对话升级为全面对话。

2009年4月，中国国家主席胡锦涛与美国总统奥巴马在20国集团(G20)伦敦金融峰会上首次会晤。

中美两国元首一致同意共同努力建设“21世纪积极合作全面的中美关系”。

美国参议院外交委员会主席约翰·克里表示：与1972年尼克松总统访华时相比，美中之间的隔阂如今已经缩小，但面临的挑战在增大。

2009年11月奥巴马访华，双方发表了罕见的6000多字的长篇联合声明，实际双边关系的方方面面及几乎所有重大国际问题，阐述了诸多共识，似乎给奥巴马上任首年的中美关系划上了一个完美的句号。

奥巴马演讲与日本首相在20国峰会的对话Well, Prime Minister Kan and I just had an excellent conversation and bilateral 1 meeting（双边会议） after three days where we’ve had an opportunity to share ideas on not only the most pressing issues that are facing our economies but also a range of security issues.I congratulated Prime Minister Kan on his leadership, and we both noted 2 the significance of 50 years of a U.S.-Japan alliance that has been a cornerstone（基础，柱石） not only of our two nations’ security but also peace and prosperity throughout Asia.We discussed some very pressing security issues, in particular North Korea, the sinking of the Cheonan, and the importance of both our countries standing 3 in solidarity 4 （团结） with South Korea and the entire international community standing with South Korea in condemning 5 the incident and making sure that North Korea gets a clear signal that such provocations 6 （挑衅，激怒） are unacceptable.I also expressed appreciation 7 to Japan for its support for the Iran sanctions that we passed through the United Nations Security Council, and we discussed issues of implementation8 .But, of course, in addition to significant dangers, we also talked about great opportunities. We see the possibilities of strengthening our economic ties across a whole range of issues. That’s been, obviously, the subject of this summit.We’re both de termined 9 to pursue opportunities in clean energy and job growth and promoting the kind of sustainable recovery that will create opportunities for our people and increase opportunities not just for this generation but for future generations.And I’m v ery much looking forward to visiting Japan and enjoying the hospitality of Prime Minister Kan as he helps to shape the agenda for the next APEC meeting. And I thanked him for the very generous offer of boom and skimmers（撇油器） coming from Japan that can help in what is going to be a very lengthy 10 process of cleaning up the Gulf 11 in the wake of the oil spill.But it’s an example of a friendship and an alliance in which Japan and the United States have consistently been there for each other. And although that friendship and alliance has to continually be renewed and reshaped in light of newcircumstances, the core values and the shared vision at the heart of our alliance remains 12 strong, and I am very confident that working with Prime Minister Kan, we are going to be able to continue to build on that tremendous history over the last 50 years.PRIME MINISTER KAN: (As translated.) I am very happy to have such a -- have candid 13 （公正的，坦白的）discussions with President Obama today. And at the outset of our meeting, I talked about my experience from 30 years ago when I visited the United States on the invitation of the Department of State, and about the experience of seeing the various NGOs are making activities depend solely 14 on nations, and I saw the grassroots democracy there. And I shared my recognition that President Obama was elected on such a background of the democracy in the United States.And I said to the President I have an experience of political life based on such grassroots activities, and I will also continue to pursue such a style of politics with my allies.And I am also happy to have such a meeting in a year which is a milestone 15 of 50 years -- 50th anniversary of the Japan-U.S. alliance. And this alliance between Japan and the United States not only has brought peace and prosperity notonly to Japan, but also it has been a foundation and cornerstone of civility of the whole Asia-Pacific region. And President Obama has such a recognition and he completely shares the same understanding about our alliance. And for the stability of Asia, Japan is proud of having been working together with the United States.And I told the President that it is very important to further enhance the partnership 16 and our alliance, and at the same time, in order to pursue that goal, it is important for the Japanese public themselves to think really about the significance of our alliance, and for them to think about the decisions for the future of our alliance.And I talked about my recognition with President Obama today. And in other words -- in other words, it is often the case that people see the way -- people see the situation as politicians make their decisions and the public makes complaints about it, that it is important for us to avoid such a situation by creating real discussions about our future ways.And we talked also about the incident in which North Korea attacked the -- attacked and sunk the North Korean naval 17 -- South Korean naval vessel 18 , and we talked also about the issue of Iran and Afghanistan. Always we have to worktogether to respond, and we share a common understanding of those issues.And I also reaffirmed our recognition that it is important for us to cooperate in such issues as climate change or #p#分页标题#e# nuclear disarmament（核裁军）in North Korea’s regime.And during the past three days, we talked about economic issues at the G8 and G20 meetings, and we discussed these issues together. And President Obama expressed the support for the economic course that Japan will pursue, and I was strongly encouraged by his comments.When I was the finance minister, Mr. Geithner was my counterpart but now Finance Minister Noda is his counterpart, and we have other counterparts between us. And we will make sure that these counterparts will work together well.And I’m happy that in November we are hosting the APEC meeting, and on that occasion, we will be welcoming President Obama to Japan. I will make sure that we prepare much ice cream for him.PRESIDENT OBAMA: That’s my favorite. (Laughter.)PRIME MINISTER KAN: And even before November, if I have an opportunity to visit the United States, I would be happy to do so, and as President Obama has suggested, that if our schedules meet, it would be good to create such an opportunity. And in September, I haven’t made the final decision, but there is a possibility of visiting the United States for the United Nations General Assembly. So I will be considering it then.END■文章重点单词注释：1bilateraladj.双方的，两边的，两侧的参考例句：They have been negotiating a bilateral trade deal.他们一直在商谈一项双边贸易协定。

美国的变革时代已到来：奥巴马胜选演讲全文国际在线11月5日电／11月4日晚，奥巴马在芝加哥发表激情演讲，称如果现在仍然有人怀疑在美国是不是真的任何事情都可能发生，怀疑我们开国之父们的梦想是否还留存在这片土地上，怀疑美国民主的力量，今夜，就是你的答案。

以下是中文翻译稿全文芝加哥的公民们，大家好！如果现在仍然有人怀疑在美国是不是真的任何事情都可能发生，怀疑我们开国之父们的梦想是否还留存在这片土地上，怀疑美国民主的力量，今夜，就是你的答案。

在这个国家的学校和教堂中人们曾焦急地等待着答案，一些人甚至从未像今天一样——等待了3～4个小时，但是他们知道这一时刻非同一般，他们的声音也同样非同一般。

在美国的土地上，无论是年轻人还是老人；穷人还是富人；无论是共和党人还是民主党人；无论是黑人、白人、西班牙裔、亚裔、美国原住民、同性恋、异性恋、残疾人还是非残疾人都发出同一种信息，我并非孤身一人。

我们是，而且永远都是美利坚合众国！这一天我们等得太久了，但是今晚，因为我们在这场竞选中、在这个地点、在此时此刻所做的一切，改变已经降临美国。

在今天晚上，我很荣幸地接到了麦凯恩参议员打来的电话。

麦凯恩参议员在这场竞选中进行了长久、艰难的努力。

而且，为这个他热爱的国家，他奋斗了更久、付出了更多的努力。

他为美国做出了超乎我们大多数人想象的牺牲，因为这个无畏无私的领导人所付出的努力，我们才有了更好的生活。

我对他表示祝贺，也对佩林州长所取得的成果表示祝贺。

同时，我也期待着能在接下来的几个月内，和他们共同努力履行对这个国家的诺言。

我想感谢我在这个旅程中的搭档，一个全心全意参加竞选的男人，一个为同他一起在斯克蓝顿(宾夕法尼亚东北部城市)街道长大、一起坐火车到特拉华州的人们发言的男人，美国未来的副总统，乔·拜登。
