Thank you. Please, thank you very much. Thank you very much. 谢谢。请,非常感谢。非常感谢。
To President Park, faculty, staff and students, thank you so much for this very warm welcome. It is a great honor to be here at Hankuk University of Foreign Studies. I want to thank Dr. Park for, a few moments ago, making me an honorary alumni of the university. 朴校长、全体教职员工和同学们,非常感谢你们的热情欢迎。能来到韩国外国语大学是我莫大的荣幸。我要感谢朴博士刚才授予我该校荣誉校友的称号。
I know that this school has one of the world's finest foreign language programs -- which means that your English is much better than my Korean. All I can say is, kamsa hamnida. 我知道这所大学拥有世界上最优秀的外语项目之一——这意味着你们的英语比我的韩语好得多。我只能说一句:感谢。
Now, this is my third visit to the Republic of Korea as President. I've now been to Seoul more times than any other capital -- except for Washington, D.C., of course. This reflects the extraordinary bonds between our two countries and our commitment to each other. I'm pleased that we're joined by so many leaders here today, Koreans and Americans, who help keep us free and strong and prosperous every day. That includes our first Korean-American ambassador to the Republic of Korea -- Ambassador Sung Kim. 这是我就任总统以来第三次访问大韩民国。我现在来首尔的次数已经超过了除华盛顿以外的任何首都。这反映了我们两国之间的非凡纽带和对彼此的承诺。我很高兴今天有这么多领导人同在——韩国人和美国人,他们每天都在帮助我们保持自由、强大和繁荣。其中包括我国首位韩裔美国驻韩大使——金成大使。
I've seen the deep connections between our peoples in my own life -- among friends, colleagues. I've seen it so many patriotic Korean Americans, including a man born in this city of Seoul, who came to America and has dedicated his life to lifting up the poor and sick of the world. And last week I was proud to nominate him to lead the World Bank -- Dr. Jim Yong Kim. 我在自己的生活中——在朋友和同事之间——看到了两国人民之间的深厚联系。我在许多爱国韩裔美国人身上看到了这一点,包括一位出生在首尔、后来到美国、将毕生献给帮助世界贫困和病患事业的人。上周我骄傲地提名他领导世界银行——金墉博士。
I've also seen the bonds in our men and women in uniform, like the American and Korean troops I visited yesterday along the DMZ -- Freedom's Frontier. And we salute their service and are very grateful for them. We honor all those who have given their lives in our defense, including the 46 brave souls who perished aboard the Cheonan two years ago today. And in their memory we reaffirm the enduring promise at the core of our alliance -- we stand together, and the commitment of the United States to the defense and the security of the Republic of Korea will never waver. 我在穿着军装的男女身上也看到了这种纽带,就像我昨天在非军事区——"自由前沿"——探访的美韩两国军人。我们向他们的服役致敬,对他们深表感激。我们缅怀所有为保卫我们而献出生命的人,包括两年前的今天在天安舰事件中牺牲的四十六名勇士。以他们的名义,我们重申联盟核心的不朽承诺——我们站在一起,美国对大韩民国防务和安全的承诺永远不会动摇。
Most of all, I see the strength of our alliance in all of you. For decades, this school has produced leaders -- public servants, diplomats, businesspeople -- who've helped propel the modern miracle that is Korea-- transforming it from crushing poverty to one of the world's most dynamic economies; from authoritarianism to a thriving democracy; from a country focused inward to a leader for security and prosperity not only in this region but also around the world -- a truly "Global Korea." 最重要的是,我在你们所有人身上看到了我们联盟的力量。几十年来,这所学校培养了众多领袖——公务员、外交官、企业家——他们推动创造了韩国的现代奇迹——将韩国从极度贫困转变为全球最具活力的经济体之一;从专制走向繁荣的民主;从关注内向的国家发展为不仅在本地区、而且在全世界为安全与繁荣发挥领导作用的国家——一个真正的"全球韩国"。
So to all the students here today, this is the Korea your generation will inherit. And I believe there's no limits to what our two nations can achieve together. For like your parents and grandparents before you, you know that the future is what we make of it. And you know that in our digital age, we can connect and innovate across borders like never before -- with your smart phones and Twitter and Me2Day and Kakao Talk. It's no wonder so many people around the world have caught the Korean Wave, Hallyu. 今天在座的各位同学,这就是你们这一代人将继承的韩国。我相信我们两国携手合作无所不能。因为与你们的父母和祖辈一样,你们深知未来掌握在我们手中。你们也深知,在数字时代,我们可以以前所未有的方式跨越国界连接和创新——用你们的智能手机、推特、Me2Day和KakaoTalk。难怪全世界有这么多人被韩流所吸引。
Or consider this: In advance of my visit, our embassy invited Koreans to send us your questions using social media. Some of you may have sent questions. And they called it, "Ask President Obama." Now, one of you -- maybe it was you, maybe it was somebody else -- this is true -- asked this question: "Have you posted, yourself, a supportive opinion on a website under a disguised name, pretending you are one of the supporters of President Obama?" I hadn't thought of this. But the truth is I have not done this. Maybe my daughters have. But I haven't done that myself. 或者想想这个:在我来访之前,我们大使馆邀请韩国人通过社交媒体向我们提问。你们中可能就有人提交了问题。他们把这个活动叫做"向奥巴马总统提问"。你们中有人——也许是你,也许是别人——真的问了这样一个问题:"你是否曾经用化名在网站上发布支持自己的评论,假装是奥巴马总统的支持者?"我还真没想过这个。但事实是我没有这样做过。也许我的女儿们做过。但我自己没有这样做过。
So our shared future -- and the unprecedented opportunity to meet shared challenges together -- is what brings me to Seoul. Over the next two days, under President Lee's leadership, we'll move ahead with the urgent work of preventing nuclear terrorism by securing the world's nuclear materials. This is an important part of the broader, comprehensive agenda that I want to talk with you about today -- our vision of a world without nuclear weapons. 所以我们共同的未来——以及共同应对挑战的前所未有的机遇——正是我来到首尔的原因。在接下来的两天里,在李明博总统的领导下,我们将推进防止核恐怖主义的紧迫工作,确保世界核材料的安全。这是今天我想和你们讨论的更广泛、更全面的议程的重要组成部分——我们对无核武器世界的愿景。
Three years ago, I traveled to Prague and I declared America's commitment to stopping the spread of nuclear weapons and to seeking a world without them. I said I knew that this goal would not be reached quickly, perhaps not in my lifetime, but I knew we had to begin, with concrete steps. And in your generation, I see the spirit we need in this endeavor -- an optimism that beats in the hearts of so many young people around the world. It's that refusal to accept the world as it is, the imagination to see the world as it ought to be, and the courage to turn that vision into reality. 三年前,我在布拉格宣布美国致力于阻止核武器扩散,并寻求一个没有核武器的世界。我说我知道这个目标不会很快实现,也许不会在我的有生之年实现,但我知道我们必须迈出具体的步伐。在你们这一代人身上,我看到了这项事业所需的精神——跳动在全世界众多年轻人心中的乐观精神。那就是拒绝接受世界现状,用想象力看到世界应有的样子,并有勇气将愿景变为现实。
So today, with you, I want to take stock of our journey and chart our next steps. 所以今天,我要和你们一起回顾我们的历程,规划下一步行动。
Here in Seoul, more than 50 nations will mark our progress toward the goal we set at the summit I hosted two years ago in Washington -- securing the world's vulnerable nuclear materials in four years so that they never fall into the hands of terrorists. And since then, nations -- including the United States -- have boosted security at nuclear facilities. 在首尔,五十多个国家将标志着我们在两年前华盛顿峰会上设定的目标方面取得的进展——在四年内确保世界脆弱核材料的安全,使其永远不会落入恐怖分子之手。此后,包括美国在内的各国已加强了核设施的安全。
South Korea, Japan, Pakistan and others are building new centers to improve nuclear security and training. Nations like Kazakhstan have moved nuclear materials to more secure locations. Mexico, and just yesterday Ukraine, have joined the ranks of nations that have removed all the highly enriched uranium from their territory. All told, thousands of pounds of nuclear material have been removed from vulnerable sites around the world. This was deadly material that is now secure and can now never be used against a city like Seoul. 韩国、日本、巴基斯坦等国正在建设新的中心,以改善核安全和培训。哈萨克斯坦等国已将核材料转移到更安全的地点。墨西哥,以及就在昨天的乌克兰,也加入了从其领土上移除所有高浓缩铀的国家行列。总计已有数千磅核材料从世界各地的脆弱地点被移除。这些曾经致命的材料现已安全,再也不会被用于攻击像首尔这样的城市。
We're also using every tool at our disposal to break up black markets and nuclear material. Countries like Georgia and Moldova have seized highly enriched uranium from smugglers. And countries like Jordan are building their own counter-smuggling teams, and we're tying them together in a global network of intelligence and law enforcement. Nearly 20 nations have now ratified the treaties and international partnerships that are at the center of our efforts. 我们还在动用一切手段打击黑市和核材料走私。格鲁吉亚和摩尔多瓦等国已从走私者手中缴获高浓缩铀。约旦等国正在建立自己的反走私队伍,我们正在将它们连接成一个全球情报和执法网络。近二十个国家现已批准了处于我们努力中心的各项条约和国际伙伴关系。
And I should add that with the death of Osama bin Laden and the major blows that we've struck against al Qaeda, a terrorist organization that has actively sought nuclear weapons is now on the path to defeat. 我还要补充一点,随着本·拉登的死亡和我们对基地组织给予的重大打击,一个曾经积极寻求核武器的恐怖组织正走向覆灭。
So in short, the international community has made it harder than ever for terrorists to acquire nuclear weapons, and that has made us all safer. We're building an international architecture that can ensure nuclear safety. But we're under no illusions. We know that nuclear material, enough for many weapons, is still being stored without adequate protection. And we know that terrorists and criminal gangs are still trying to get their hands on it -- as well as radioactive material for a dirty bomb. 简而言之,国际社会使恐怖分子比以往任何时候都更难获得核武器,这使得我们都更加安全。我们正在建设确保核安全的国际架构。但我们并不抱有幻想。我们知道,足够制造多枚武器的核材料仍在没有充分保护的情况下储存。我们知道恐怖分子和犯罪团伙仍在试图获取这些材料——以及用于脏弹的放射性材料。
We know that just the smallest amount of plutonium -- about the size of an apple -- could kill hundreds of thousands and spark a global crisis. The danger of nuclear terrorism remains one of the greatest threats to global security. 我们知道,仅需要苹果大小的最小量的钚——就能造成数十万人死亡并引发全球危机。核恐怖主义的危险仍然是全球安全面临的最大威胁之一。
And that's why here in Seoul, we need to keep at it. And I believe we will. We're expecting dozens of nations to announce over the next several days that they've fulfilled the promises they made two years ago. And we're now expecting more commitments -- tangible, concrete action -- to secure nuclear materials and, in some cases, remove them completely. This is the serious, sustained global effort that we need, and it's an example of more nations bearing the responsibility and the costs of meeting global challenges. This is how the international community should work in the 21st century. 正因如此,在首尔,我们需要继续努力。我相信我们会这样做。我们预计在接下来的几天里,数十个国家将宣布它们已经履行了两年前做出的承诺。我们还期待更多承诺——切实、具体的行动——来确保核材料的安全,在某些情况下完全移除它们。这是我们需要的严肃、持续的全球努力,也是更多国家承担应对全球挑战责任和成本的典范。这就是国际社会在二十一世纪应有的运作方式。
And Korea is one of the key leaders in this process. 韩国是这一进程的关键领导者之一。
The United States will continue to do our part -- securing our own material and helping others protect theirs. We're moving forward with Russia to eliminate enough plutonium for about 17,000 nuclear weapons and turn it instead into electricity. I can announce today a new agreement by the United States and several European partners toward sustaining the supply of medical isotopes that are used to treat cancer and heart disease without the use of highly enriched uranium. 美国将继续尽自己的一份力量——确保本国材料安全并帮助他国保护其材料。我们正与俄罗斯合作,消除足以制造约一万七千枚核武器的钚,并将其转化为电力。今天我可以宣布,美国与几个欧洲伙伴达成了一项新协议,以维持医疗同位素的供应——这些同位素用于治疗癌症和心脏病——而无需使用高浓缩铀。
And we will work with industry and hospitals and research centers in the United States and around the world, to recover thousands of unneeded radiological materials so that they can never do us harm. 我们还将与美国和世界各地的工业界、医院和研究中心合作,回收数千种不需要的放射性材料,使其永远无法危害我们。
Now, American leadership has been essential to progress in a second area -- taking concrete steps towards a world without nuclear weapons. As a party to the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty, this is our obligation, and it's one that I take very seriously. But I believe the United States has a unique responsibility to act -- indeed, we have a moral obligation. I say this as President of the only nation ever to use nuclear weapons. I say it as a Commander-in-Chief who knows that our nuclear codes are never far from my side. 美国在第二个领域的进展中发挥了至关重要的领导作用——即为实现无核武器世界采取具体步骤。作为《核不扩散条约》的缔约方,这是我们的义务,而且我非常重视这一义务。但我认为美国有独特的责任去行动——事实上,我们有道德义务。我作为曾经使用过核武器的唯一国家的总统说这番话。我作为一位深知核密码永远不离我左右的三军统帅说这番话。
Most of all, I say it as a father, who wants my two young daughters to grow up in a world where everything they know and love can't be instantly wiped out. 最重要的是,我作为一个父亲说这番话——我希望两个年幼的女儿能在一个她们所知所爱的一切不会被瞬间抹去的世界中长大。
Over the past three years, we've made important progress. With Russia, we're now reducing our arsenal under the New START Treaty -- the most comprehensive arms control agreement in nearly 20 years. And when we're done, we will have cut American and Russian deployed nuclear warheads to their lowest levels since the 1950s. 在过去三年中,我们取得了重要进展。我们正在根据新削减战略武器条约与俄罗斯一起削减我们的核武库——这是近二十年来最全面的军控协议。完成后,我们将把美国和俄罗斯部署的核弹头削减至二十世纪五十年代以来的最低水平。
As President, I changed our nuclear posture to reduce the number and role of nuclear weapons in our national security strategy. I made it clear that the United States will not develop new nuclear warheads. And we will not pursue new military missions for nuclear weapons. We've narrowed the range of contingencies under which we would ever use or threaten to use nuclear weapons. 作为总统,我改变了我们的核态势,减少了核武器在国家安全战略中的数量和作用。我明确表示,美国不会研发新的核弹头。我们不会为核武器寻求新的军事使命。我们缩小了在何种情况下会使用或威胁使用核武器的范围。
At the same time, I've made it clear that so long as nuclear weapons exist, we'll work with our Congress to maintain a safe, secure and effective arsenal that guarantees the defense not only of the United States but also our allies -- including South Korea and Japan. 与此同时,我已明确表示,只要核武器存在,我们就将与国会合作,维持安全、可靠、有效的核武库,以保障不仅美国而且我们盟友——包括韩国和日本——的防务。
My administration's nuclear posture recognizes that the massive nuclear arsenal we inherited from the Cold War is poorly suited to today's threats, including nuclear terrorism. So last summer, I directed my national security team to conduct a comprehensive study of our nuclear forces. That study is still underway. But even as we have more work to do, we can already say with confidence that we have more nuclear weapons than we need. Even after New START, the United States will still have more than 1,500 deployed nuclear weapons, and some 5,000 warheads. 本届政府的核态势认识到,我们从冷战时期继承的大规模核武库已不太适应今天的威胁,包括核恐怖主义。因此,去年夏天,我指示国家安全团队对我们的核力量进行全面研究。该研究仍在进行中。但即使我们还有更多工作要做,我们已经可以自信地说,我们拥有的核武器超出了我们的需要。即使在新削减战略武器条约之后,美国仍将拥有一千五百枚以上部署的核武器和约五千枚核弹头。
I firmly believe that we can ensure the security of the United States and our allies, maintain a strong deterrent against any threat, and still pursue further reductions in our nuclear arsenal. 我坚信,我们既能确保美国和盟友的安全,保持对任何威胁的强大威慑,同时仍能进一步削减我们的核武库。
Going forward, we'll continue to seek discussions with Russia on a step we have never taken before -- reducing not only our strategic nuclear warheads, but also tactical weapons and warheads in reserve. I look forward to discussing this agenda with President Putin when we will meet in May. Missile defense will be on the agenda, but I believe this should be an area of cooperation, not tension. And I'm confident that, working together, we can continue to make progress and reduce our nuclear stockpiles. 展望未来,我们将继续寻求与俄罗斯就一项前所未有的举措进行讨论——不仅削减我们的战略核弹头,还削减战术武器和储备弹头。我期待五月与普京总统会面时讨论这一议程。导弹防御也将列入议程,但我相信这应该成为合作而非紧张的区域。我有信心,通过合作,我们可以继续取得进展并削减我们的核库存。
Of course, we'll consult closely with our allies every step of the way, because the security and defense of our allies, both in Europe and Asia, is not negotiable. 当然,我们将在此过程的每一步与盟友密切协商,因为我们盟友——无论在欧洲还是亚洲——的安全和防务是不可谈判的。
Here in Asia, we've urged China -- with its growing nuclear arsenal -- to join us in a dialogue on nuclear issues. That offer remains open. And more broadly, my administration will continue to pursue ratification of the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty. And after years of delay, it's time to find a path forward on a new treaty that verifiably ends the production of fissile materials for nuclear weapons -- ends it once and for all. 在亚洲,我们已敦促拥有不断增长的核武库的中国加入我们关于核问题的对话。这一提议依然有效。更广泛地说,本届政府将继续推动批准《全面禁止核试验条约》。经过多年的延误,是时候在一条新条约上找到前进道路了——这条约将可验证地终止用于核武器的裂变材料生产——彻底终止。
By working to meet our responsibilities as a nuclear power, we've made progress in a third area -- strengthening the global regime that prevents the spread of nuclear weapons. When I came into office, the cornerstone of the world's effort -- which is the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty -- was fraying. Iran had started spinning thousands of centrifuges. North Korea conducted another nuclear test. And the international community was largely divided on how to respond. 通过履行我们作为核国家的责任,我们在第三个领域取得了进展——加强防止核武器扩散的全球体系。我就任时,世界努力的基石——《核不扩散条约》——正在瓦解。伊朗已开始运转数千台离心机。朝鲜进行了又一次核试验。国际社会在如何应对方面基本处于分裂状态。
Over the past three years, we have begun to reverse that dynamic. Working with others, we've enhanced the global partnership that prevent proliferation. The International Atomic Energy Agency is now conducting the strongest inspections ever. And we've upheld the basic bargain of the NPT: Countries with nuclear weapons, like the United States and Russia, will move towards disarmament; countries without nuclear weapons will not acquire them; and all countries can have access to peaceful nuclear energy. 在过去三年中,我们已开始扭转这一局面。与其他国家合作,我们加强了防止扩散的全球伙伴关系。国际原子能机构正在进行有史以来最严格的核查。我们维护了《核不扩散条约》的基本协议:拥有核武器的国家,如美国和俄罗斯,将走向裁军;没有核武器的国家不会获取它们;所有国家都可以获得和平核能。
Because of these efforts, the international community is more united and nations that attempt to flout their obligations are more isolated. Of course, that includes North Korea. 由于这些努力,国际社会更加团结,试图无视自身义务的国家更加孤立。当然,这包括朝鲜。
Here in Korea, I want to speak directly to the leaders in Pyongyang. The United States has no hostile intent toward your country. We are committed to peace. And we are prepared to take steps to improve relations, which is why we have offered nutritional aid to North Korean mothers and children. 在韩国,我想直接对平壤的领导人说。美国对贵国没有敌意。我们致力于和平。我们准备采取措施改善关系,正因如此,我们已向朝鲜的母亲和儿童提供了营养援助。
But by now it should be clear, your provocations and pursuit of nuclear weapons have not achieved the security you seek; they have undermined it. Instead of the dignity you desire, you're more isolated. Instead of earning the respect of the world, you've been met with strong sanctions and condemnation. You can continue down the road you are on, but we know where that leads. It leads to more of the same -- more broken dreams, more isolation, ever more distance between the people of North Korea and the dignity and the opportunity that they deserve. 但到如今应该很清楚了,你们的挑衅和对核武器的追求并没有为你们带来所寻求的安全;反而削弱了它。你们没有获得所渴望的尊严,反而更加孤立。你们没有赢得世界的尊重,反而遭到了严厉的制裁和谴责。你们可以继续走当前这条路,但我们知道它的终点。它只会带来更多同样的结果——更多破碎的梦想、更深的孤立,朝鲜人民与他们应得的尊严和机会之间的距离越来越大。
And know this: There will be no rewards for provocations. Those days are over. To the leaders of Pyongyang I say, this is the choice before you. This is the decision that you must make. Today we say, Pyongyang, have the courage to pursue peace and give a better life to the people of North Korea. 还要知道这一点:挑衅不会得到回报。那些日子已经结束了。我对平壤的领导人说,这就是你们面前的选择。这就是你们必须做出的决定。今天我们说,平壤,拿出追求和平的勇气,给朝鲜人民更好的生活。
This same principle applies with respect to Iran. Under the NPT, Iran has the right to peaceful nuclear energy. In fact, time and again the international community -- including the United States -- has offered to help Iran develop nuclear energy peacefully. But time and again Iran has refused, instead taking the path of denial, deceit and deception. And that is why Iran also stands alone, as the only member of the NPT unable to convince the international community that its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes -- the only member. 同样的原则也适用于伊朗。根据《核不扩散条约》,伊朗有权和平利用核能。事实上,国际社会——包括美国——一次又一次地提出帮助伊朗和平发展核能。但伊朗一次又一次地拒绝,选择了否认、欺骗和蒙蔽的道路。正因如此,伊朗同样孤立——它是《核不扩散条约》唯一无法让国际社会相信其核计划用于和平目的的成员国——唯一的一个。
That's why the world has imposed unprecedented sanctions, slowing Iran's nuclear program. 正因如此,世界对伊朗实施了前所未有的制裁,减缓了其核计划。
The international community is now poised to enter talks with Iran's leaders. Once again, there is the possibility of a diplomatic resolution that gives Iran access to peaceful nuclear energy while addressing the concerns of the international community. Today, I'll meet with the leaders of Russia and China as we work to achieve a resolution in which Iran fulfills its obligations. 国际社会现在准备与伊朗领导人展开谈判。再次出现了外交解决的可能性,使伊朗能获得和平核能,同时解决国际社会的关切。今天,我将与俄罗斯和中国领导人会面,共同努力达成一项伊朗履行其义务的解决方案。
There is time to solve this diplomatically. It is always my preference to solve these issues diplomatically. But time is short. Iran's leaders must understand they, too, face a choice. Iran must act with the seriousness and sense of urgency that this moment demands. Iran must meet its obligations. 还有时间通过外交途径解决这个问题。我始终倾向于通过外交途径解决这些问题。但时间紧迫。伊朗领导人必须明白,他们也面临着选择。伊朗必须以这一时刻所要求的严肃性和紧迫感采取行动。伊朗必须履行其义务。
For the global response to Iran and North Korea's intransigence, a new international norm is emerging: Treaties are binding; rules will be enforced; and violations will have consequences. We refuse to consign ourselves to a future where more and more regimes possess the world's most deadly weapons. 针对伊朗和朝鲜的顽固立场,一种新的国际准则正在形成:条约具有约束力;规则将得到执行;违规行为将产生后果。我们拒绝接受一个越来越多政权拥有世界上最致命武器的未来。
And this brings me to the final area where we've made progress -- a renewed commitment to harnessing the power of the atom not for war, but for peaceful purposes. After the tragedy at Fukushima, it was right and appropriate that nations moved to improve the safety and security of nuclear facilities. We're doing so in the United States. It's taking place all across the world. 这就引出了我们取得进展的最后一个领域——重新致力于利用原子能不是为了战争,而是为了和平目的。福岛悲剧之后,各国着手改进核设施的安全和安保是正确和适当的。我们在美国正在这样做。这在全世界都在发生。
As we do, let's never forget the astonishing benefits that nuclear technology has brought to our lives. Nuclear technology helps make our food safe. It prevents disease in the developing world. It's the high-tech medicine that treats cancer and finds new cures. And, of course, it's the energy -- the clean energy that helps cut the carbon pollution that contributes to climate change. 在这样做的同时,让我们永远不要忘记核技术为我们的生活带来的惊人益处。核技术帮助确保我们的食品安全。它在发展中国家预防疾病。它是治疗癌症和寻找新疗法的高科技医疗手段。当然,它也是能源——帮助减少加剧气候变化的碳排放的清洁能源。
Here in South Korea, as you know, as a leader in nuclear energy, you've shown the progress and prosperity that can be achieved when nations embrace peaceful nuclear energy and reject the development of nuclear arms. 在韩国,正如你们所知,作为核能领域的领导者,你们展示了当国家拥抱和平核能、拒绝发展核武器时所能取得的进步和繁荣。
And with rising oil prices and a warming climate, nuclear energy will only become more important. That's why, in the United States, we've restarted our nuclear industry as part of a comprehensive strategy to develop every energy source. We supported the first new nuclear power plant in three decades. We're investing in innovative technologies so we can build the next generation of safe, clean nuclear power plants. And we're training the next generation of scientists and engineers who are going to unlock new technologies to carry us forward. 随着石油价格上涨和气候变暖,核能只会变得更加重要。正因如此,在美国,我们已重启核工业,作为开发各种能源的全面战略的一部分。我们支持了三十年来第一座新核电站的建设。我们正在投资创新技术,以建设下一代安全、清洁的核电站。我们正在培养下一代科学家和工程师,他们将解锁新技术推动我们前进。
One of the great challenges they'll face and that your generation will face is the fuel cycle itself in producing nuclear energy. We all know the problem: The very process that gives us nuclear energy can also put nations and terrorists within the reach of nuclear weapons. We simply can't go on accumulating huge amounts of the very material, like separated plutonium, that we're trying to keep away from terrorists. 他们和你们这一代人将面临的巨大挑战之一是生产核能的燃料循环本身。我们都很清楚问题所在:赋予我们核能的过程也可能使国家和恐怖分子触及核武器。我们不能继续大量积累我们正努力远离恐怖分子的那种材料——如分离钚。
And that's why we're creating new fuel banks, to help countries realize the energy they seek without increasing the nuclear dangers that we fear. That's why I've called for a new framework for civil nuclear cooperation. We need an international commitment to unlocking the fuel cycle of the future. In the United States we're investing in the research and development of new fuel cycles so that dangerous materials can't be stolen or diverted. And today I urge nations to join us in seeking a future where we harness the awesome power of the atom to build and not to destroy. 正因如此,我们正在创建新的燃料银行,帮助各国实现其所寻求的能源而不增加我们所恐惧的核危险。正因如此,我呼吁建立一个新的民用核合作框架。我们需要一项国际承诺来解锁未来的燃料循环。在美国,我们正在投资研发新的燃料循环,使危险材料无法被盗取或转移。今天我敦促各国加入我们,共同寻求一个我们驾驭原子能的巨大力量去建设而非毁灭的未来。
In this sense, we see how the efforts I've described today reinforce each other. When we enhance nuclear security, we're in a stronger position to harness safe, clean nuclear energy. When we develop new, safer approaches to nuclear energy, we reduce the risk of nuclear terrorism and proliferation. When nations, including my own, fulfill our responsibilities, it strengthens our ability to ensure that other nations fulfill their responsibilities. And step by step, we come closer to the security and peace of a world without nuclear weapons. 从这个意义上说,我们看到我今天所描述的各项努力如何相互促进。当我们加强核安全时,我们就更有能力利用安全、清洁的核能。当我们开发更安全的核能方法时,就降低了核恐怖主义和扩散的风险。当各国——包括我国——履行自身责任时,就增强了我们确保其他国家也履行责任的能力。一步一步地,我们离无核武器世界的安全与和平越来越近。
I know that there are those who deride our vision. There are those who say ours is an impossible goal that will be forever out of reach. But to anyone who doubts the great progress that is possible, I tell them, come to Korea. Come to this country, which rose from the ashes of war -- a country that rose from the ashes of war, turning rubble into gleaming cities. Stand where I stood yesterday, along a border that is the world's clearest contrast between a country committed to progress, a country committed to its people, and a country that leaves its own citizens to starve. 我知道有人嘲讽我们的愿景。有人说我们的目标是不可能的,永远无法企及。但对任何怀疑巨大进步之可能性的人,我告诉他们,来韩国吧。来看看这个国家——它从战争的废墟中崛起,将瓦砾变成了闪亮的城市。站在我昨天站过的地方,沿着一道边境线——它是世界上最鲜明的对比:一个致力于进步、致力于人民的国家,与一个让自己的百姓挨饿的国家之间的对比。
Come to this great university, where a new generation is taking its place in the world -- helping to create opportunities that your parents and grandparents could only imagine. Come and see some of the courageous individuals who join us today -- men and women, young and old, born in the North, but who left all they knew behind and risked their lives to find freedom and opportunity here in the South. In your life stories we see the truth -- Koreans are one people. And if just given the chance, if given their freedom, Koreans in the North are capable of great progress as well. 来到这所伟大的大学,新一代正在世界上占据自己的位置——帮助创造你们的父母和祖辈只能想象的机会。来看看今天加入我们的一些勇敢的人——男人和女人,年轻的和年迈的,出生在北方,但抛下了他们所熟知的一切,冒着生命危险在南方寻找自由和机会。在你们的人生故事中,我们看到了真相——朝鲜人民是一个民族。如果给他们机会,给他们自由,朝鲜人民同样能够取得巨大进步。
Looking out across the DMZ yesterday, but also looking into your eyes today, I'm reminded of another country's experience that speaks to the change that is possible in our world. After a terrible war, a proud people was divided. Across a fortified border, armies massed, ready for war. For decades, it was hard to imagine a different future. But the forces of history and hopes of man could not be denied. And today, the people of Germany are whole again -- united and free. 昨天眺望非军事区,今天看着你们的眼睛,我想起了另一个国家的经历,它说明了我们这个世界上可能发生的变革。在一场可怕的战争之后,一个骄傲的民族被分裂了。在戒备森严的边境两侧,军队集结,蓄势待战。几十年来,很难想象一个不同的未来。但历史的力量和人类的希望不可阻挡。如今,德国人民重新完整——统一而自由。
No two places follow the same path, but this much is true: The currents of history cannot be held back forever. The deep longing for freedom and dignity will not go away. So, too, on this divided peninsula. The day all Koreans yearn for will not come easily or without great sacrifice. But make no mistake, it will come. And when it does, change will unfold that once seemed impossible. And checkpoints will open and watchtowers will stand empty, and families long separated will finally be reunited. And the Korean people, at long last, will be whole and free. 没有哪两个地方走过相同的道路,但有一点是确凿的:历史的潮流无法永远被阻挡。对自由和尊严的深深渴望不会消失。在这片分裂的半岛上也是如此。所有朝鲜人期盼的那一天不会轻易到来,也不会没有巨大的牺牲。但不要搞错,它终将到来。当那一天到来时,曾经看似不可能的变革将会展开。检查站将打开,瞭望塔将空无一人,长期分离的家庭终将重聚。朝鲜人民终将完整而自由。
Like our vision of a world without nuclear weapons, our vision of a Korea that stands as one may not be reached quickly. But from this day until then, and all the days that follow, we take comfort in knowing that the security we seek, the peace we want, is closer at hand because of the great alliance between the United States and the Republic of Korea; and because we stand for the dignity and freedom of all Koreans. And no matter the test, no matter the trial, we stand together. We work together. We go together. 正如我们对无核武器世界的愿景一样,我们对统一的韩国的愿景可能不会很快实现。但从今天起到那一天,以及随后的每一天,我们因为知道以下事实而感到慰藉:我们寻求的安全和我们渴望的和平,因为美国和大韩民国之间的伟大联盟而更近了;因为我们为所有朝鲜人的尊严和自由而奋斗。无论怎样的考验,无论怎样的试炼,我们站在一起。我们共同努力。我们携手同行。
Katchi kapshida! 我们一起走吧!
Thank you very much. 非常感谢。
