欢迎国宴致辞--视译

1 奥巴马2011年1月19日欢迎国宴致辞

Good evening, everybody. Please have a seat. On behalf of Michelle and myself,

welcome to the White House. And thank you for joining us as we host President

Hu and the Chinese delegation, and as we pay tribute to the bonds between two

great nations and two proud peoples.

大家晚上好。请坐。米歇尔和我欢迎大家光临白宫。感谢各位与我们一道欢迎胡锦涛主席和中国代表团，对中美两国和人民的紧密关系致意。

There are too many distinguished guests to mention all of you tonight. But I do

want to acknowledge a few who have championed relations between our nations:

First of all, President Jimmy Carter and his wonderful wife Rosalynn Carter are

here. As well as President Bill Clinton and my outstanding Secretary of State,

Hillary Clinton.

今晚在座的有非常多的贵宾，我想特别介绍一下对我们两国关系起到关键作用的人：吉米·卡特总统和他的夫人罗萨琳·卡特，还有比尔·克林顿总统及我们出色的国务卿希拉里·克林顿。

President Hu, we have met today in a spirit of mutual respect: the United States

-- the oldest democracy in the world, and China -- one of the oldest civilizations

in the world. And while it’s easy to focus on our differences of culture and

perspective, let us never forget the values that our people share: A reverence

for family; the belief that, with education and hard work and with sacrifice, the

future is what we make it; and most of all, the desire to give our children a

better life.

胡主席，今天的聚会体现了我们相互尊重的精神，美国是世界上最悠久的民主制度国家，中国是世界上最古老的文明之一。我们很容易将注意力放在文化与观点的差别之上，但我们也不应该忘记两国人民共有的价值观——对家庭的重视，对通过教育、勤奋和牺牲创造未来的信念，更重要的，对子女提供更好生活的愿望。

Let’s also never forget that throughout our history our people have worked

together for mutual progress. We’ve traded together for more than 200 years.

We stood together in the Second World War. Chinese immigrants and Chinese

Americans have helped to build America, including many who join us here

tonight. 2 我们也不应该忘记历史上我们两国人民为了共同的进步而共同努力。我们有二百多年的贸易历史，在二战中我们并肩作战，中国的移民和华裔美国人对美国的建设做出了贡献，其中包括许多今晚在座的嘉宾。

The Chinese and American people work together and create new opportunities

together every single day. Mr. President, today we’ve shown that our

governments can work together as well, for our mutual benefit. And that

includes this bit of news -— under a new agreement, our National Zoo will

continue to dazzle children and visitors with the beloved giant pandas.

中美两国人民每天都在共同努力创造新的机会。主席先生，今天我们也表明了两国政府可以同样为了共同的利益一起努力，其中也包括这条消息——根据一项新的协议，我们的国家动物园将可以继续保留吸引孩子和游客们的中国大熊猫。

I'm told that there is a Chinese proverb that says: If you want one year of

prosperity, then grow grain. If you want 10 years of prosperity, then

grow trees. But if you want 100 years of prosperity, then you grow

people.

我知道一句中国的谚语：一年树谷，十年树木，百年树人。

And so I propose a toast -- to our people, the citizens of the People’s Republic of

China and the United States of America. May they grow together in friendship.

May they prosper together in peace. And may they realize their dream of the

future for themselves, for their children, and for their grandchildren.

所以我提议让我们一起举杯——为我们的人民，中华人民共和国和美利坚合众国的公民。愿两国人民加深友谊，和平繁荣，实现自己及子孙的未来的梦想！

Ganbei.

干杯！

尊敬的奥巴马总统和夫人，各位来宾，女士们先生们，朋友们，晚上好。

应奥巴马总统的邀请，我很高兴再一次来到美国进行国事访问。一踏上这片美丽的土地，我们就受到美国政府和人民的盛情款待。今天晚上奥巴马总统又为我们举行欢迎晚会，并发表了热情洋溢的讲话。我谨代表我的同事们，并以我个人的名义，向奥巴马总统和夫人，向在座的美国朋友们表示衷心的感谢。并通过你们向热情友好的美国人民转达中国人民的良好祝愿，向所有关心和支持中美关系发展的美国各界人士，致以诚挚的问候。

President Obama and Mrs. Obama, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen, dear friends,

good evening.

I am delighted to once again come to the United States and pay a state visit at the invitation

of President Obama. Since setting foot on this beautiful land, we have received the greatest

hospitality of the US government and people. This evening, President Obama is hosting this

welcoming dinner for us and has just made warm remarks. On behalf of my colleagues and in my

own name, I want to express heartfelt thanks to President and Mrs. Obama and other American

friends present today. I also wish to convey through you the best wishes of Chinese people to the

friendly American people and extend cordial greetings to people from various sectors of the

United States who have given cared and support to the growth of China-US relations.

我这一次应奥巴马总统的邀请访问美国，目的是增进互信，加强友谊，深化合作，推动21世纪积极合作全面的中美关系继续向前发展。

近年来，特别是奥巴马总统就职两年来，在双方的共同努力下，中美关系得到长足发展。两国广泛领域交流合作不断扩大，双方在重大的国际和地区问题上，保持密切沟通和协调，为促进亚太地区乃至世界的和平、稳定、繁荣发挥了积极作用。

The purpose of my visit is to increase mutual trust, enhance friendship, deepen cooperation

and advance the positive, cooperative and comprehensive China-US relationship for the 21st

century. In recent years, particularly over the past two years since President Obama took office,

China-US relations have made strong headway thanks to the joint efforts of both sides. We have

increased exchanges and cooperation in a wide range of areas, maintained close communication
