Shalom! 沙洛姆！
Thank you so much. Thank you very much. Thank you. Everybody, please have a seat. Thank you. 非常感谢。十分感谢。谢谢。各位请坐。谢谢。
Thank you. Thank you so much. Well, it is a great honor to be with you here in Jerusalem, and I'm so grateful for the welcome that I've received from the people of Israel. Thank you. I bring with me the support of the American people -- and the friendship that binds us together. 谢谢。非常感谢。能够来到耶路撒冷与你们相聚，我深感荣幸；以色列人民给予我的欢迎，也让我由衷感激。谢谢大家。我带来了美国人民的支持，也带来了将我们紧密相连的友谊。
Over the last two days, I've reaffirmed the bonds between our countries with Prime Minister Netanyahu and President Peres. I've borne witness to the ancient history of the Jewish people at the Shrine of the Book, and I've seen Israel's shining future in your scientists and your entrepreneurs. This is a nation of museums and patents, timeless holy sites and ground-breaking innovation. Only in Israel could you see the Dead Sea Scrolls and the place where the technology on board the Mars Rover originated at the same time. 过去两天里，我同内塔尼亚胡总理和佩雷斯总统再次确认了两国之间的纽带。我在圣书之殿见证了犹太民族悠久的历史，也从你们的科学家和企业家身上看到了以色列光明的未来。这是一个既拥有博物馆和专利，也拥有永恒圣地和突破性创新的国家。只有在以色列，你才能同时看到《死海古卷》，又看到火星探测器所载技术的诞生之地。
But what I've most looked forward to is the ability to speak directly to you, the Israeli people -- especially so many young people who are here today -- to talk about the history that brought us here today, and the future that you will make in the years to come. 但我最期待的，是能够直接对你们、对以色列人民讲话，尤其是对今天来到这里的众多年轻人讲话；同你们谈谈把我们带到今天的历史，也谈谈未来岁月中将由你们创造的未来。
Now, I know that in Israel's vibrant democracy, every word, every gesture is carefully scrutinized. But I want to clear something up just so you know -- any drama between me and my friend, Bibi, over the years was just a plot to create material for Eretz Nehederet. That's the only thing that was going on. We just wanted to make sure the writers had good material. 我知道，在以色列充满活力的民主制度下，每一句话、每一个动作都会受到仔细审视。不过我想澄清一件事，让大家明白：这些年来，我和我的朋友比比之间的种种戏剧性场面，不过是为了给《美妙国度》制造素材而策划的一场戏。事情就是这么简单。我们只是想确保编剧手里有好材料。
I also know that I come to Israel on the eve of a sacred holiday -- the celebration of Passover. And that is where I would like to begin today. 我也知道，我是在一个神圣节日即将到来之际访问以色列的，那就是逾越节。今天，我就想从这里讲起。
Just a few days from now, Jews here in Israel and around the world will sit with family and friends at the Seder table, and celebrate with songs, wine and symbolic foods. After enjoying Seders with family and friends in Chicago and on the campaign trail, I'm proud that I've now brought this tradition into the White House. I did so because I wanted my daughters to experience the Haggadah, and the story at the center of Passover that makes this time of year so powerful. 再过几天，以色列和世界各地的犹太人将与亲友围坐在逾越节家宴桌旁，以歌声、美酒和具有象征意义的食物庆祝节日。我曾在芝加哥与亲友举行家宴，也曾在竞选途中参加家宴；如今，我很自豪地把这一传统带进了白宫。我这样做，是因为我希望女儿们能够亲身接触《哈加达》，了解逾越节核心的故事，正是这个故事赋予这一时节如此强大的力量。
It's a story of centuries of slavery, and years of wandering in the desert; a story of perseverance amidst persecution, and faith in God and the Torah. It's a story about finding freedom in your own land. And for the Jewish people, this story is central to who you've become. But it's also a story that holds within it the universal human experience, with all of its suffering, but also all of its salvation. 这是一个关于数百年奴役和多年荒漠漂泊的故事；一个关于在迫害中坚忍不拔、对上帝和《托拉》坚定信仰的故事。这是一个在自己的土地上找到自由的故事。对犹太民族而言，这个故事构成了你们身份的核心。但它也包含着全人类共有的经历，其中有苦难，也有救赎。
It's a part of the three great religions -- Judaism, Christianity, and Islam -- that trace their origins to Abraham, and see Jerusalem as sacred. And it's a story that's inspired communities across the globe, including me and my fellow Americans. 这个故事属于犹太教、基督教和伊斯兰教这三大宗教；它们都追溯到亚伯拉罕，也都把耶路撒冷视为圣城。这个故事还激励了世界各地的许多群体，包括我和我的美国同胞。
In the United States -- a nation made up of people who crossed oceans to start anew -- we're naturally drawn to the idea of finding freedom in our land. To African Americans, the story of the Exodus was perhaps the central story, the most powerful image about emerging from the grip of bondage to reach for liberty and human dignity -- a tale that was carried from slavery through the Civil Rights Movement into today. 美国是一个由漂洋过海、重新开始生活的人们组成的国家，因此我们天然会被“在自己的土地上获得自由”这一理念所吸引。对非裔美国人而言，《出埃及记》也许是最核心的故事，是摆脱奴役、追求自由和人的尊严最有力量的象征；这个故事从奴隶制时代，经由民权运动，一直传承到今天。
For generations, this promise helped people weather poverty and persecution, while holding on to the hope that a better day was on the horizon. For me, personally, growing up in far-flung parts of the world and without firm roots, the story spoke to a yearning within every human being for a home. 一代又一代人凭借这一承诺熬过贫困与迫害，同时始终相信更美好的日子就在前方。就我个人而言，我成长于世界上相隔遥远的地方，没有牢固的根基；这个故事触动了每个人内心对家园的向往。
Of course, even as we draw strength from the story of God's will and His gift of freedom expressed on Passover, we also know that here on Earth we must bear our responsibilities in an imperfect world. That means accepting our measure of sacrifice and struggle, just like previous generations. It means us working through generation after generation on behalf of that ideal of freedom. 当然，我们从上帝的旨意以及逾越节所表达的自由恩赐中汲取力量，同时也明白，在这个并不完美的现实世界里，我们必须承担自己的责任。这意味着像前人一样，承受属于我们的牺牲与斗争；意味着一代又一代人为自由的理想持续努力。
As Dr. Martin Luther King said on the day before he was killed, "I may not get there with you. But I want you to know that we, as a people, will get to the promised land." So just as Joshua carried on after Moses, the work goes on for all of you, the Joshua Generation, for justice and dignity; for opportunity and freedom. 马丁·路德·金博士在遇害前一天曾说：“我也许不能和你们一同到达那里。但我希望你们知道，我们这个民族终将抵达应许之地。”正如约书亚继承摩西的事业一样，你们这些“约书亚一代”也要把这项事业继续下去，为正义与尊严、机会与自由而努力。
For the Jewish people, the journey to the promise of the State of Israel wound through countless generations. It involved centuries of suffering and exile, prejudice and pogroms and even genocide. Through it all, the Jewish people sustained their unique identity and traditions, as well as a longing to return home. 对犹太民族而言，通往以色列国这一应许的旅程延续了无数代人。其间经历了数百年的苦难与流亡、偏见与屠杀，乃至种族灭绝。尽管如此，犹太人民始终保持着独特的身份与传统，也始终怀着回归家园的渴望。
And while Jews achieved extraordinary success in many parts of the world, the dream of true freedom finally found its full expression in the Zionist idea -- to be a free people in your homeland. That's why I believe that Israel is rooted not just in history and tradition, but also in a simple and profound idea -- the idea that people deserve to be free in a land of their own. 犹太人在世界许多地方取得了非凡成就，但真正自由的梦想，最终在犹太复国主义的理念中得到充分表达，也就是在自己的家园做自由的人民。因此我相信，以色列不仅植根于历史和传统，也植根于一个朴素而深刻的理念：人民理应在自己的土地上享有自由。
Over the last 65 years, when Israel has been at its best, Israelis have demonstrated that responsibility does not end when you reach the promised land, it only begins. And so Israel has been a refuge for the Diaspora -- welcoming Jews from Europe, from the former Soviet Union, from Ethiopia, from North Africa. 过去65年来，在以色列表现最出色的时候，以色列人证明了一点：抵达应许之地并不意味着责任的终结，而只意味着责任的开始。因此，以色列成了散居犹太人的避难所，接纳了来自欧洲、前苏联、埃塞俄比亚和北非的犹太人。
Israel has built a prosperous nation -- through kibbutzim that made the desert bloom, business that broadened the middle class, innovators who reached new frontiers, from the smallest microchip to the orbits of space. Israel has established a thriving democracy, with a spirited civil society and proud political parties, and a tireless free press, and a lively public debate -- "lively" may even be an understatement. 以色列建成了一个繁荣的国家：基布兹使沙漠绽放生机，企业壮大了中产阶级，创新者不断开拓新的疆域，从最小的微芯片一直探索到太空轨道。以色列建立了蓬勃发展的民主制度，拥有充满活力的公民社会、自豪的政党、永不倦怠的自由媒体和热烈的公共辩论——说“热烈”，甚至可能还是轻描淡写。
And Israel has achieved all this even as it's overcome relentless threats to its security -- through the courage of the Israel Defense Forces, and the citizenry that is so resilient in the face of terror. This is the story of Israel. This is the work that has brought the dreams of so many generations to life. And every step of the way, Israel has built unbreakable bonds of friendship with my country, the United States of America. 尽管安全一直受到无休止的威胁，以色列仍取得了这一切成就；这有赖于以色列国防军的勇气，也有赖于民众面对恐怖袭击时展现的坚韧。这就是以色列的故事。这些努力让许多代人的梦想成为现实。在这一路上的每一步，以色列都与我的国家——美利坚合众国——建立了牢不可破的友谊纽带。
Those ties began only 11 minutes after Israeli independence, when the United States was the first nation to recognize the State of Israel. As President Truman said in explaining his decision to recognize Israel, he said, "I believe it has a glorious future before it not just as another sovereign nation, but as an embodiment of the great ideals of our civilization." And since then, we've built a friendship that advances our shared interests. 以色列宣布独立仅仅11分钟后，美国便成为第一个承认以色列国的国家，我们两国的联系由此开始。杜鲁门总统在解释承认以色列的决定时说：“我相信，它面前有着光明的未来；它不仅会成为又一个主权国家，更会成为我们文明伟大理想的体现。”此后，我们建立起一份促进双方共同利益的友谊。
Together, we share a commitment to security for our citizens and the stability of the Middle East and North Africa. Together, we share a focus on advancing economic growth around the globe, and strengthening the middle class within our own countries. Together, we share a stake in the success of democracy. 我们共同致力于保障两国公民的安全，维护中东和北非的稳定。我们共同关注推动全球经济增长，壮大各自国家的中产阶级。我们也都关心民主能否取得成功。
But the source of our friendship extends beyond mere interests, just as it has transcended political parties and individual leaders. America is a nation of immigrants. America is strengthened by diversity. America is enriched by faith. 然而，我们友谊的源泉不只在于利益，正如这份友谊早已超越政党和个别领导人。美国是一个移民国家。多元让美国更加强大，信仰使美国更加丰盈。
We are governed not simply by men and women, but by laws. We're fueled by entrepreneurship and innovation, and we are defined by a democratic discourse that allows each generation to reimagine and renew our union once more. So in Israel, we see values that we share, even as we recognize what makes us different. That is an essential part of our bond. 治理我们的不只是某些个人，更是法律。创业精神与创新为我们注入动力；民主对话则塑造着我们，让每一代人都能重新构想并再次更新我们的国家。因此，我们在以色列看到了共同珍视的价值观，同时也承认彼此的不同。这是我们两国纽带不可或缺的一部分。
Now, I stand here today mindful that for both our nations, these are some complicated times. We have difficult issues to work through within our own countries, and we face dangers and upheaval around the world. And when I look at young people within the United States, I think about the choices that they must make in their lives to define who we'll be as a nation in this 21st century, particularly as we emerge from two wars and the worst recession since the Great Depression. 今天站在这里，我清楚地知道，我们两国正处于一个复杂的时期。国内有许多棘手问题需要处理，世界各地也充满危险和动荡。当我看到美国的年轻人时，我会想到他们在人生中必须作出的选择；这些选择将决定我们在21世纪会成为怎样的国家，尤其是在我们刚刚走出两场战争和大萧条以来最严重的经济衰退之际。
But part of the reason I like talking to young people is because no matter how great the challenges are, their idealism, their energy, their ambition always gives me hope. 但我之所以喜欢同年轻人交谈，部分原因就在于，无论挑战多么严峻，他们的理想主义、活力和抱负总能给我希望。
And I see the same spirit in the young people here today. I believe that you will shape our future. And given the ties between our countries, I believe your future is bound to ours. 今天，我在这里的年轻人身上看到了同样的精神。我相信，你们将塑造我们的未来。鉴于两国之间的紧密联系，我也相信，你们的未来同我们的未来息息相关。
No, no -- this is part of the lively debate that we talked about. This is good. You know, I have to say we actually arranged for that, because it made me feel at home. I wouldn't feel comfortable if I didn't have at least one heckler. 不，不——这正是我们刚才所说的热烈辩论的一部分。这很好。说实话，这其实是我们特意安排的，因为这样会让我有宾至如归的感觉。要是现场连一个起哄的人都没有，我反而会觉得不自在。
I'd like to focus on how we -- and when I say "we," in particular young people -- can work together to make progress in three areas that will define our times -- security, peace and prosperity. 我想重点谈谈我们——我说“我们”时尤其指年轻人——如何携手在三个将定义我们这个时代的领域取得进展：安全、和平与繁荣。
Let me begin with security. I'm proud that the security relationship between the United States and Israel has never been stronger. Never. More exercises between our militaries; more exchanges among our political and military and intelligence officials than ever before; the largest program to date to help you retain your qualitative military edge. These are the facts. These aren't my opinions, these are facts. But, to me, this is not simply measured on a balance sheet. I know that here, in Israel, security is something personal. 先从安全谈起。我感到自豪的是，美国与以色列之间的安全关系从未像今天这样牢固，从未有过。两国军队举行的联合演习更多，政治、军事和情报官员之间的交流比以往更加频繁，帮助你们保持军事质量优势的项目规模也达到历史之最。这些都是事实，不是我的看法，而是事实。但对我来说，这种关系不能只用资产负债表来衡量。我知道，在以色列，安全是一件关系到每个人切身生活的事情。
Here's what I think about when I consider these issues. When I consider Israel's security, I think about children like Osher Twito, who I met in Sderot -- children the same age as my own daughters who went to bed at night fearful that a rocket would land in their bedroom simply because of who they are and where they live. 这就是我思考这些问题时想到的情景。考虑以色列的安全时，我会想到我在斯代罗特见过的奥谢尔·特维托这样的孩子；他们和我的女儿年龄相仿，晚上入睡时却担心火箭弹会落进自己的卧室，而这一切只因为他们的身份和居住的地方。
That reality is why we've invested in the Iron Dome system to save countless lives -- because those children deserve to sleep better at night. That's why we've made it clear, time and again, that Israel cannot accept rocket attacks from Gaza, and we have stood up for Israel's right to defend itself. And that's why Israel has a right to expect Hamas to renounce violence and recognize Israel's right to exist. 正是因为这一现实，我们才投资建设“铁穹”系统，挽救无数生命——因为这些孩子理应在夜里睡得更安稳。也正因如此，我们一再明确表示，以色列不能接受来自加沙的火箭弹袭击；我们支持以色列的自卫权。同样，以色列有权要求哈马斯放弃暴力，承认以色列的生存权。
When I think about Israel's security, I think about five Israelis who boarded a bus in Bulgaria, who were blown up because of where they came from; robbed of the ability to live, and love, and raise families. That's why every country that values justice should call Hizbollah what it truly is -- a terrorist organization. Because the world cannot tolerate an organization that murders innocent civilians, stockpiles rockets to shoot at cities, and supports the massacre of men and women and children in Syria right now. 想到以色列的安全，我会想到在保加利亚登上一辆大巴的五名以色列人；他们只因来自哪里便被炸死，从此失去了生活、去爱和养育家庭的机会。因此，每一个珍视正义的国家都应如实称呼真主党：它是一个恐怖组织。世界不能容忍一个谋杀无辜平民、囤积火箭弹用于轰击城市，并在此刻支持屠杀叙利亚男人、女人和儿童的组织。
The fact that Hizbollah's ally -- the Assad regime -- has stockpiles of chemical weapons only heightens the urgency. We will continue to cooperate closely to guard against that danger. I've made it clear to Bashar al-Assad and all who follow his orders: We will not tolerate the use of chemical weapons against the Syrian people, or the transfer of those weapons to terrorists. The world is watching; we will hold you accountable. 真主党的盟友阿萨德政权拥有化学武器库存，这一事实只会让局势更加紧迫。我们将继续密切合作，防范这一危险。我已经向巴沙尔·阿萨德以及所有服从他命令的人明确表示：我们不会容忍对叙利亚人民使用化学武器，也不会容忍把这些武器转交给恐怖分子。全世界都在注视着；我们将追究你们的责任。
The Syrian people have the right to be freed from the grip of a dictator who would rather kill his own people than relinquish power. Assad must go so that Syria's future can begin. Because true stability in Syria depends upon establishing a government that is responsible to its people -- one that protects all communities within its borders, while making peace with countries beyond them. 叙利亚人民有权摆脱一个宁可杀害本国人民也不愿放弃权力的独裁者。阿萨德必须下台，叙利亚的未来才能开始。因为叙利亚真正的稳定，有赖于建立一个对人民负责的政府；这个政府既要保护境内所有群体，也要同境外各国和平相处。
These are the things I think about when I think about Israel's security. When I consider Israel's security, I also think about a people who have a living memory of the Holocaust, faced with the prospect of a nuclear-armed Iranian government that has called for Israel's destruction. It's no wonder Israelis view this as an existential threat. But this is not simply a challenge for Israel -- it is a danger for the entire world, including the United States. 这就是我想到以色列安全时所思考的问题。考虑以色列的安全时，我也会想到一个对大屠杀仍有鲜活记忆的民族，如今却面临一个曾扬言摧毁以色列的伊朗政府可能拥有核武器的前景。难怪以色列人把它视为生死存亡的威胁。但这并不只是以色列面临的挑战，而是包括美国在内的整个世界所面对的危险。
A nuclear-armed Iran would raise the risk of nuclear terrorism. It would undermine the non-proliferation regime. It would spark an arms race in a volatile region. And it would embolden a government that has shown no respect for the rights of its own people or the responsibilities of nations. 拥有核武器的伊朗会增加核恐怖主义的风险，破坏核不扩散体系，在一个动荡地区引发军备竞赛，还会助长一个既不尊重本国人民权利、也不履行国家责任的政府。
That's why America has built a coalition to increase the cost to Iran of failing to meet their obligations. The Iranian government is now under more pressure than ever before, and that pressure is increasing. It is isolated. Its economy is in dire straits. Its leadership is divided. And its position -- in the region, and the world -- has only grown weaker. 因此，美国组建了一个联盟，让伊朗因不履行义务而付出更高代价。伊朗政府如今承受的压力超过以往任何时候，而且压力仍在增加。它陷入孤立，经济处境严峻，领导层出现分裂，它在地区和世界上的地位也变得愈发虚弱。
I do believe that all of us have an interest in resolving this issue peacefully. Strong and principled diplomacy is the best way to ensure that the Iranian government forsakes nuclear weapons. Peace is far more preferable to war. And the inevitable costs, the unintended consequences that would come with war means that we have to do everything we can to try to resolve this diplomatically. 我确实相信，和平解决这个问题符合我们所有人的利益。坚定而有原则的外交，是确保伊朗政府放弃核武器的最佳途径。和平远比战争可取。战争必然带来的代价和意外后果，意味着我们必须尽一切所能，争取通过外交手段解决问题。
Because of the cooperation between our governments, we know that there remains time to pursue a diplomatic resolution. That's what America will do, with clear eyes -- working with a world that's united, and with the sense of urgency that's required. 由于两国政府开展了合作，我们知道，目前仍有时间寻求外交解决方案。美国将以清醒的眼光，与团结一致的国际社会合作，并以必要的紧迫感这样做。
But Iran must know this time is not unlimited. And I've made the position of the United States of America clear: Iran must not get a nuclear weapon. This is not a danger that can be contained, and as President, I've said all options are on the table for achieving our objectives. America will do what we must to prevent a nuclear-armed Iran. 但伊朗必须明白，时间并非没有限期。我已经明确阐明美利坚合众国的立场：绝不能让伊朗获得核武器。这种危险无法靠遏制来解决；作为总统，我已经表示，为实现目标，一切选项都摆在桌面上。美国将采取一切必要措施，阻止伊朗拥有核武器。
For young Israelis, I know that these issues of security are rooted in an experience that is even more fundamental than the pressing threat of the day. You live in a neighborhood where many of your neighbors have rejected the right of your nation to exist. Your grandparents had to risk their lives and all that they had to make a place for themselves in this world. Your parents lived through war after war to ensure the survival of the Jewish state. 对以色列年轻人来说，我知道这些安全问题植根于一种比眼前迫切威胁更为根本的经历。你们生活在这样一个地区：许多邻国拒绝承认你们国家的生存权。你们的祖父母不得不冒着生命危险，押上自己的一切，才在这个世界上争得一席之地。你们的父母经历一场又一场战争，以确保犹太国家能够生存。
Your children grow up knowing that people they've never met may hate them because of who they are, in a region that is full of turmoil and changing underneath your feet. 你们的孩子从小就知道，在这个充满动荡、脚下局势不断变化的地区，一些素未谋面的人可能仅仅因为他们是谁就仇恨他们。
So that's what I think about when Israel is faced with these challenges -- that sense of an Israel that is surrounded by many in this region who still reject it, and many in the world who refuse to accept it. And that's why the security of the Jewish people in Israel is so important. It cannot be taken for granted. 因此，当以色列面对这些挑战时，我想到的是这样一种处境：以色列周围仍有许多国家排斥它，世界上也有许多人拒绝接受它。正因如此，以色列境内犹太人民的安全至关重要，绝不能被视为理所当然。
But make no mistake -- those who adhere to the ideology of rejecting Israel's right to exist, they might as well reject the earth beneath them or the sky above, because Israel is not going anywhere. And today, I want to tell you -- particularly the young people -- so that there's no mistake here, so long as there is a United States of America -- Atem lo levad. You are not alone. 但请不要误解——那些信奉否定以色列生存权这一思想的人，还不如否定脚下的大地或头顶的天空，因为以色列绝不会消失。今天，我要告诉你们，尤其是在场的年轻人，绝不能对此有任何误解：只要美利坚合众国存在一天——你们就并不孤单。你们绝不孤单。
The question is what kind of future Israel will look forward to. Israel is not going anywhere -- but especially for the young people in this audience, the question is what does its future hold? And that brings me to the subject of peace. 问题在于，以色列期待的将是怎样的未来。以色列不会消失；但对现场的年轻人来说，尤其要问的是：它的未来会是什么样？这就把我带到了和平这个主题。
I know Israel has taken risks for peace. Brave leaders -- Menachem Begin, Yitzhak Rabin -- reached treaties with two of your neighbors. You made credible proposals to the Palestinians at Annapolis. You withdrew from Gaza and Lebanon, and then faced terror and rockets. Across the region, you've extended a hand of friendship and all too often you've been confronted with rejection and, in some cases, the ugly reality of anti-Semitism. 我知道，以色列曾为和平承担风险。梅纳赫姆·贝京、伊扎克·拉宾等勇敢的领导人同你们的两个邻国缔结了和平条约。你们在安纳波利斯向巴勒斯坦方面提出了可信的方案。你们从加沙和黎巴嫩撤出，随后却遭遇恐怖袭击和火箭弹攻击。在整个地区，你们伸出了友谊之手，却又常常遭到拒绝，有时还不得不面对反犹主义的丑恶现实。
So I believe that the Israeli people do want peace, and I also understand why too many Israelis -- maybe an increasing number, maybe a lot of young people here today -- are skeptical that it can be achieved. 因此，我相信以色列人民确实渴望和平；我也理解为什么有太多以色列人——人数或许还在增加，今天在场的许多年轻人也可能包括在内——怀疑和平能否实现。
But today, Israel is at a crossroads. It can be tempting to put aside the frustrations and sacrifices that come with the pursuit of peace, particularly when Iron Dome repels rockets, barriers keep out suicide bombers. There's so many other pressing issues that demand your attention. And I know that only Israelis can make the fundamental decisions about your country's future. I recognize that. 但今天，以色列正处在十字路口。追求和平总会伴随挫折和牺牲，人们很容易把它搁置一旁，尤其是在“铁穹”能够拦截火箭弹、安全屏障能够挡住自杀式袭击者的时候。还有太多其他迫切问题需要你们关注。我也知道，只有以色列人才能就自己国家的未来作出根本决定。这一点我很清楚。
I also know, by the way, that not everyone in this hall will agree with what I have to say about peace. I recognize that there are those who are not simply skeptical about peace, but question its underlying premise, have a different vision for Israel's future. And that's part of a democracy. That's part of the discourse between our two countries. I recognize that. But I also believe it's important to be open and honest, especially with your friends. I also believe that. 顺便说一句，我也知道，在这座大厅里，并非所有人都会赞同我接下来有关和平的看法。我明白，有些人不只对和平持怀疑态度，还质疑和平所依赖的基本前提，对以色列的未来抱有不同愿景。这是民主的一部分，也是我们两国对话的一部分，我承认这一点。但我也相信，尤其是在朋友之间，坦诚相待至关重要。这一点我同样坚信。
Politically, given the strong bipartisan support for Israel in America, the easiest thing for me to do would be to put this issue aside -- just express unconditional support for whatever Israel decides to do -- that would be the easiest political path. But I want you to know that I speak to you as a friend who is deeply concerned and committed to your future, and I ask you to consider three points. 从政治上说，鉴于美国两党都坚定支持以色列，对我而言最容易的做法，是把这个问题搁在一边，对以色列决定采取的任何行动都表示无条件支持；这会是最轻松的政治道路。但我希望你们知道，我是以一个深切关心并致力于你们未来的朋友身份同你们说话，并请你们思考三点。
First, peace is necessary. I believe that. I believe that peace is the only path to true security. You have the opportunity to be the generation that permanently secures the Zionist dream, or you can face a growing challenge to its future. Given the demographics west of the Jordan River, the only way for Israel to endure and thrive as a Jewish and democratic state is through the realization of an independent and viable Palestine. That is true. 第一，和平是必要的。我对此深信不疑。和平是通往真正安全的唯一道路。你们可以成为永久巩固犹太复国主义梦想的一代，也可能面对这一梦想的未来日益受到挑战。考虑到约旦河以西地区的人口构成，以色列若要作为一个犹太国家和民主国家长久生存、繁荣发展，唯一的道路就是让一个独立且有生存能力的巴勒斯坦成为现实。这是事实。
There are other factors involved. Given the frustration in the international community about this conflict, Israel needs to reverse an undertow of isolation. And given the march of technology, the only way to truly protect the Israeli people over the long term is through the absence of war. Because no wall is high enough and no Iron Dome is strong enough or perfect enough to stop every enemy that is intent on doing so from inflicting harm. 此外还有其他因素。鉴于国际社会对这场冲突日益感到沮丧，以色列需要扭转逐渐陷入孤立的暗流。又鉴于技术不断发展，从长远看，真正保护以色列人民的唯一办法就是消除战争。因为没有哪堵墙高到足以阻止所有一心施害的敌人，也没有哪套“铁穹”系统强大或完美到能做到这一点。
And this truth is more pronounced given the changes sweeping the Arab world. I understand that with the uncertainty in the region -- people in the streets, changes in leadership, the rise of non-secular parties in politics -- it's tempting to turn inward, because the situation outside of Israel seems so chaotic. 席卷阿拉伯世界的变化，使这一事实更加突出。我理解，面对地区的不确定性——人们走上街头、领导层发生更替、非世俗政党在政治中崛起——人们很容易转向内部，因为以色列以外的局势看上去如此混乱。
But this is precisely the time to respond to the wave of revolution with a resolve and commitment for peace. Because as more governments respond to popular will, the days when Israel could seek peace simply with a handful of autocratic leaders, those days are over. Peace will have to be made among peoples, not just governments. 然而，恰恰是在这个时刻，我们应以追求和平的决心和承诺回应这股革命浪潮。随着越来越多的政府回应民众意愿，以色列只需同少数专制领导人谋求和平的时代已经结束。和平必须在人民之间缔造，而不能只在政府之间缔造。
No one -- no single step can change overnight what lies in the hearts and minds of millions. No single step is going to erase years of history and propaganda. But progress with the Palestinians is a powerful way to begin, while sidelining extremists who thrive on conflict and thrive on division. It would make a difference. 任何人、任何单一举措，都无法在一夜之间改变数百万人内心和头脑中的观念。任何单一举措也无法抹去多年的历史与宣传。但同巴勒斯坦方面取得进展，是一个有力的开端；它同时会把那些靠冲突和分裂滋生的极端分子排挤到边缘。这将带来实质性的改变。
So peace is necessary. But peace is also just. Peace is also just. There is no question that Israel has faced Palestinian factions who turned to terror, leaders who missed historic opportunities. That is all true. And that's why security must be at the center of any agreement. 所以，和平是必要的，但和平也是公正的要求。和平也是公正的要求。毫无疑问，以色列曾面对诉诸恐怖主义的巴勒斯坦派别，也面对错失历史机遇的领导人。这些都是事实。正因如此，安全必须处于任何协议的核心。
And there is no question that the only path to peace is through negotiations -- which is why, despite the criticism we've received, the United States will oppose unilateral efforts to bypass negotiations through the United Nations. It has to be done by the parties. But the Palestinian people's right to self-determination, their right to justice, must also be recognized. 同样毫无疑问，通往和平的唯一道路是谈判；所以，尽管受到批评，美国仍会反对借联合国绕过谈判的单方面行动。这件事必须由双方来完成。但巴勒斯坦人民的自决权和获得正义的权利也必须得到承认。
Put yourself in their shoes. Look at the world through their eyes. It is not fair that a Palestinian child cannot grow up in a state of their own. Living their entire lives with the presence of a foreign army that controls the movements not just of those young people but their parents, their grandparents, every single day. 请设身处地为他们想一想，从他们的眼中看看这个世界。巴勒斯坦儿童不能在自己的国家里长大，这是不公平的。他们一生都生活在外国军队的存在之下；这支军队每天不仅控制这些年轻人的行动，也控制他们父母和祖父母的行动。
It's not just when settler violence against Palestinians goes unpunished. It's not right to prevent Palestinians from farming their lands; or restricting a student's ability to move around the West Bank; or displace Palestinian families from their homes. Neither occupation nor expulsion is the answer. Just as Israelis built a state in their homeland, Palestinians have a right to be a free people in their own land. 不公正并不只在于定居者对巴勒斯坦人施暴后不受惩罚。阻止巴勒斯坦人在自己的土地上耕作，限制学生在约旦河西岸通行，或者把巴勒斯坦家庭赶出家园，都是错误的。占领和驱逐都不是答案。正如以色列人在自己的家园建立了国家，巴勒斯坦人也有权在自己的土地上成为自由的人民。
I'm going off script here for a second, but before I came here, I met with a group of young Palestinians from the age of 15 to 22. And talking to them, they weren't that different from my daughters. They weren't that different from your daughters or sons. I honestly believe that if any Israeli parent sat down with those kids, they'd say, I want these kids to succeed; I want them to prosper. I want them to have opportunities just like my kids do. I believe that's what Israeli parents would want for these kids if they had a chance to listen to them and talk to them. I believe that. 这里我要暂时脱离讲稿说几句。来这里之前，我见了一群15岁到22岁的巴勒斯坦年轻人。同他们交谈后，我发现他们与我的女儿并没有多大不同，同你们的女儿或儿子也没有多大不同。我真诚地相信，如果任何一位以色列父母同这些孩子坐下来交谈，他们都会说：我希望这些孩子取得成功，希望他们生活富足，希望他们像我的孩子一样拥有机会。我相信，如果以色列父母有机会倾听这些孩子、同他们交谈，他们一定会对这些孩子抱有这样的愿望。我对此深信不疑。
Now, only you can determine what kind of democracy you will have. But remember that as you make these decisions, you will define not simply the future of your relationship with the Palestinians -- you will define the future of Israel as well. 当然，只有你们能够决定自己将拥有怎样的民主制度。但请记住，当你们作出这些决定时，所界定的不只是未来同巴勒斯坦人的关系，也是在界定以色列自身的未来。
As Ariel Sharon said -- I'm quoting him -- "It is impossible to have a Jewish democratic state, at the same time to control all of Eretz Israel. If we insist on fulfilling the dream in its entirety, we are liable to lose it all." Or, from a different perspective, I think of what the novelist David Grossman said shortly after losing his son, as he described the necessity of peace -- "A peace of no choice" he said, "must be approached with the same determination and creativity as one approaches a war of no choice." 正如阿里埃勒·沙龙所说——我是在引用他的话——“既要建立一个犹太民主国家，同时又控制整个以色列地，这是不可能的。如果我们执意让梦想毫无保留地全部实现，最终可能失去一切。”换一个角度，我还想到小说家大卫·格罗斯曼。他在失去儿子后不久谈到和平的必要性时说：“当别无选择、只能争取和平时，我们必须拿出面对一场别无选择的战争时同样的决心与创造力。”
Now, Israel cannot be expected to negotiate with anyone who is dedicated to its destruction. But while I know you have had differences with the Palestinian Authority, I genuinely believe that you do have a true partner in President Abbas and Prime Minister Fayyad. I believe that. And they have a track record to prove it. Over the last few years, they have built institutions and maintained security on the West Bank in ways that few could have imagined just a few years ago. So many Palestinians -- including young people -- have rejected violence as a means of achieving their aspirations. 当然，不能指望以色列同一心要摧毁它的人谈判。但尽管我知道你们同巴勒斯坦民族权力机构之间存在分歧，我仍真诚地相信，阿巴斯总统和法耶兹总理确实是你们真正的伙伴。我对此深信不疑，他们也有实际成绩可以证明。过去几年里，他们建立了各项机构，并以几年前很少有人能想象的方式维持了约旦河西岸的安全。如此多的巴勒斯坦人，包括年轻人，已经不再把暴力当作实现理想的手段。
There is an opportunity there, there's a window -- which brings me to my third point: Peace is possible. It is possible. I'm not saying it's guaranteed. I can't even say that it is more likely than not. But it is possible. I know it doesn't seem that way. There are always going to be reasons to avoid risk. There are costs for failure. There will always be extremists who provide an excuse not to act. 这里存在一个机会、一扇窗口；这就引出了我的第三点：和平是可能的。和平能够实现。我不是说它已得到保证，甚至不能说它实现的可能性超过无法实现的可能性。但它确实可能实现。我知道，现实看上去并非如此。人们总能找到规避风险的理由，失败也会带来代价；极端分子也总会给不采取行动提供借口。
I know there must be something exhausting about endless talks about talks, and daily controversies, and just the grinding status quo. And I'm sure there's a temptation just to say, "Ah, enough. Let me focus on my small corner of the world and my family and my job and what I can control." But it's possible. 我知道，无休止地讨论何时开始谈判、每天面对争议、忍受令人疲惫的现状，一定让人筋疲力尽。我也确信，人们很容易想说：“唉，够了。还是让我专注于世界中属于自己的小小角落，顾好家庭、工作和自己能够控制的事情吧。”但和平是可能的。
Negotiations will be necessary, but there's little secret about where they must lead -- two states for two peoples. Two states for two peoples. 谈判不可或缺，而谈判必须通向何处并不是什么秘密——两个民族、两个国家。两个民族、两个国家。
There will be differences about how to get there. There are going to be hard choices along the way. Arab states must adapt to a world that has changed. The days when they could condemn Israel to distract their people from a lack of opportunity, or government corruption or mismanagement -- those days need to be over. Now is the time for the Arab world to take steps toward normalizing relations with Israel. 对于如何抵达这一目标，各方会有分歧，沿途也必然面临艰难选择。阿拉伯国家必须适应已经改变的世界。它们曾经可以通过谴责以色列，转移本国人民对机会匮乏、政府腐败或治理不善的不满；这样的日子应当结束了。现在正是阿拉伯世界采取行动、推动同以色列关系正常化的时候。
Meanwhile, Palestinians must recognize that Israel will be a Jewish state and that Israelis have the right to insist upon their security. Israelis must recognize that continued settlement activity is counterproductive to the cause of peace, and that an independent Palestine must be viable with real borders that have to be drawn. 与此同时，巴勒斯坦人必须承认以色列将是一个犹太国家，也必须承认以色列人有权坚持保障自身安全。以色列人则必须承认，继续建设定居点不利于和平事业；一个独立的巴勒斯坦必须具有生存能力，必须划定真正的边界。
I've suggested principles on territory and security that I believe can be the basis for these talks. But for the moment, put aside the plans and the process. I ask you, instead, to think about what can be done to build trust between people. 我曾提出有关领土和安全的原则，相信这些原则可以成为谈判的基础。但此刻，请先把方案和进程放在一边。我请你们转而思考，人们可以做些什么来建立彼此之间的信任。
Four years ago, I stood in Cairo in front of an audience of young people -- politically, religiously, they must seem a world away. But the things they want, they're not so different from what the young people here want. They want the ability to make their own decisions and to get an education, get a good job; to worship God in their own way; to get married; to raise a family. 四年前，我在开罗面对一群年轻听众发表演讲。从政治和宗教角度看，他们似乎与你们相隔一个世界。但他们所渴望的，与这里的年轻人并没有多大不同。他们希望有能力自主作出决定，接受教育、找到好工作；希望以自己的方式敬拜上帝；希望结婚并养育家庭。
The same is true of those young Palestinians that I met with this morning. The same is true for young Palestinians who yearn for a better life in Gaza. 我今天上午见到的巴勒斯坦年轻人也是如此，那些渴望在加沙过上更好生活的巴勒斯坦年轻人同样如此。
That's where peace begins -- not just in the plans of leaders, but in the hearts of people. Not just in some carefully designed process, but in the daily connections -- that sense of empathy that takes place among those who live together in this land and in this sacred city of Jerusalem. 和平正是从这里开始——它不只始于领导人的方案，更始于人民的内心；不只始于某个精心设计的进程，更始于日常联系，始于共同生活在这片土地和耶路撒冷这座圣城的人们彼此之间产生的同理心。
And let me say this as a politician -- I can promise you this, political leaders will never take risks if the people do not push them to take some risks. You must create the change that you want to see. Ordinary people can accomplish extraordinary things. 请允许我以政治家的身份说一句：我可以向你们保证，如果人民不推动政治领导人承担风险，政治领导人永远不会主动这样做。你们必须创造自己希望看到的改变。普通人能够成就非凡之事。
I know this is possible. Look to the bridges being built in business and civil society by some of you here today. Look at the young people who've not yet learned a reason to mistrust, or those young people who've learned to overcome a legacy of mistrust that they inherited from their parents, because they simply recognize that we hold more hopes in common than fears that drive us apart. Your voices must be louder than those who would drown out hope. Your hopes must light the way forward. 我知道这能够实现。请看看今天在场的一些人正通过商业和公民社会搭建的桥梁；看看那些尚未学会猜疑的年轻人，也看看那些已经克服从父母那里继承的猜疑遗产的年轻人。他们只是认识到，我们共同拥有的希望，多于使我们分离的恐惧。你们的声音必须盖过那些企图淹没希望的人，你们的希望必须照亮前路。
Look to a future in which Jews and Muslims and Christians can all live in peace and greater prosperity in this Holy Land. Believe in that. And most of all, look to the future that you want for your own children -- a future in which a Jewish, democratic, vibrant state is protected and accepted for this time and for all time. 请展望这样一个未来：犹太人、穆斯林和基督徒都能在这片圣地和平共处，享有更大的繁荣。请相信这个未来。最重要的是，请展望你们希望自己的孩子拥有的未来——一个充满活力的犹太民主国家从此得到保护和接纳，直到永远。
There will be many who say this change is not possible, but remember this -- Israel is the most powerful country in this region. Israel has the unshakeable support of the most powerful country in the world. Israel is not going anywhere. Israel has the wisdom to see the world as it is, but -- this is in your nature -- Israel also has the courage to see the world as it should be. 会有许多人说这种改变不可能实现，但请记住：以色列是这个地区最强大的国家，也得到世界上最强大国家坚定不移的支持。以色列不会消失。以色列拥有看清世界现实面貌的智慧；但以色列的天性也赋予它勇气，去看见世界本应有的样子。
Ben Gurion once said, "In Israel, in order to be a realist you must believe in miracles." Sometimes, the greatest miracle is recognizing that the world can change. That's a lesson that the world has learned from the Jewish people. And that brings me to the final area that I'll focus on: prosperity, and Israel's broader role in the world. I know that all the talk about security and peace can sometimes seem to dominate the headlines, but that's not where people live. And every day, even amidst the threats that you face, Israelis are defining themselves by the opportunities that you're creating. 本-古里安曾说：“在以色列，要想做一个现实主义者，就必须相信奇迹。”有时，最大的奇迹就是认识到世界能够改变。这是全世界从犹太人民身上学到的一课。这就引出了我要重点谈的最后一个领域：繁荣，以及以色列在世界上更广泛的作用。我知道，有关安全与和平的讨论有时似乎占据了所有新闻头条，但人们的日常生活并不只在那里。即使每天面对威胁，以色列人仍在用自己创造的机遇定义自身。
Through talent and hard work, Israelis have put this small country at the forefront of the global economy. 以色列人凭借才华和辛勤劳动，使这个小国站到了全球经济的前沿。
Israelis understand the value of education and have produced 10 Nobel laureates. Israelis understand the power of invention, and your universities educate engineers and inventors. And that spirit has led to economic growth and human progress -- solar power and electric cars, bandages and prosthetic limbs that save lives, stem cell research and new drugs that treat disease, cell phones and computer technology that changed the way people around the world live. 以色列人懂得教育的价值，已经培养出10位诺贝尔奖得主。以色列人也懂得发明的力量，你们的大学培养出工程师和发明家。这种精神推动了经济增长与人类进步：太阳能和电动汽车、挽救生命的绷带和假肢、干细胞研究和治疗疾病的新药，以及改变世界各地人们生活方式的手机和计算机技术。
So if people want to see the future of the world economy, they should look at Tel Aviv, home to hundreds of start-ups and research centers. Israelis are so active on social media that every day seemed to bring a different Facebook campaign about where I should give this speech. 所以，如果人们想一睹世界经济的未来，就应看看特拉维夫；那里汇聚着数百家初创企业和研究中心。以色列人活跃于社交媒体，以至于似乎每天都有不同的脸书活动，建议我该到哪里发表这篇演讲。
That innovation is just as important to the relationship between the United States and Israel as our security cooperation. Our first free trade agreement in the world was reached with Israel, nearly three decades ago. Today the trade between our two countries is at $40 billion every year. More importantly, that partnership is creating new products and medical treatments; it's pushing new frontiers of science and exploration. 这种创新对美以关系的重要性，并不亚于双方的安全合作。近30年前，美国在全球签署的第一项自由贸易协定，就是同以色列达成的。今天，两国每年的贸易额达到400亿美元。更重要的是，这种伙伴关系正在创造新产品和新疗法，并不断开拓科学与探索的新边疆。
That's the kind of relationship that Israel should have -- and could have -- with every country in the world. Already, we see how that innovation could reshape this region. There's a program here in Jerusalem that brings together young Israelis and Palestinians to learn vital skills in technology and business. An Israeli and Palestinian have started a venture capital fund to finance Palestinian start-ups. Over 100 high-tech companies have found a home on the West Bank -- which speaks to the talent and entrepreneurial spirit of the Palestinian people. 以色列理应、也能够同世界上每个国家建立这样的关系。我们已经看到，这种创新可以如何重塑这一地区。耶路撒冷有一个项目，把以色列和巴勒斯坦年轻人聚在一起，学习技术和商业领域的重要技能。一名以色列人与一名巴勒斯坦人共同创立了一只风险投资基金，为巴勒斯坦初创企业提供资金。已有100多家高科技企业在约旦河西岸落户，这体现了巴勒斯坦人民的才华与创业精神。
One of the great ironies of what's happening in the broader region is that so much of what people are yearning for -- education, entrepreneurship, the ability to start a business without paying a bribe, the ability to connect to the global economy -- those are things that can be found here in Israel. This should be a hub for thriving regional trade, and an engine for opportunity. 这个广大地区正在发生的事情有一个极大的反差：人们热切向往的许多事物——教育、创业、不必行贿就能开办企业，以及接入全球经济的能力——在以色列都能够找到。这里本应成为地区贸易蓬勃发展的枢纽，成为创造机会的引擎。
Israel is already a center for innovation that helps power the global economy. And I believe that all of that potential for prosperity can be enhanced with greater security, enhanced with lasting peace. 以色列已经是一个创新中心，为全球经济提供动力。我相信，更有保障的安全与持久的和平，能够进一步释放这一切繁荣潜力。
Here, in this small strip of land that has been the center of so much of the world's history, so much triumph and so much tragedy, Israelis have built something that few could have imagined 65 years ago. 在这片狭小的土地上，曾汇聚世界历史中的无数篇章，经历无数胜利与悲剧；而以色列人建成了65年前很少有人能够想象的一切。
Tomorrow, I will pay tribute to that history -- at the grave of Herzl, a man who had the foresight to see the future of the Jewish people had to be reconnected to their past; at the grave of Rabin, who understood that Israel's victories in war had to be followed by the battles for peace; at Yad Vashem, where the world is reminded of the cloud of evil that can descend on the Jewish people and all of humanity if we ever fail to be vigilant. 明天，我将向这段历史致敬：在赫茨尔墓前，纪念这位富有远见、看出犹太人民的未来必须同自身历史重新连接的人；在拉宾墓前，纪念这位明白以色列赢得战争之后还必须为和平而战的人；在亚德·韦希姆，世界会再次想起，如果我们片刻放松警惕，邪恶的阴云就可能笼罩犹太人民乃至全人类。
We bear all that history on our shoulders. We carry all that history in our hearts. Today, as we face the twilight of Israel's founding generation, you -- the young people of Israel -- must now claim its future. It falls to you to write the next chapter in the great story of this great nation. 我们肩负着这全部历史，也把这全部历史珍藏在心中。今天，当以色列建国一代逐渐步入暮年，你们——以色列的年轻人——必须接过国家的未来。这个伟大国家的伟大故事，下一章将由你们书写。
And as the President of a country that you can count on as your greatest friend -- I am confident that you can help us find the promise in the days that lie ahead. And as a man who's been inspired in my own life by that timeless calling within the Jewish experience -- tikkun olam -- I am hopeful that we can draw upon what's best in ourselves to meet the challenges that will come; to win the battles for peace in the wake of so much war; and to do the work of repairing this world. That's your job. That's my job. That's the task of all of us. 作为一个你们可以信赖为最亲密朋友的国家的总统，我相信，你们能够帮助我们发现未来岁月中的希望。而作为一个在自己人生中深受犹太传统那句永恒召唤——“修复世界”——鼓舞的人，我希望我们能够唤起内心最美好的品质，迎接未来的挑战；在如此漫长的战争之后赢得和平之战；完成修复这个世界的使命。这是你们的职责，是我的职责，也是我们所有人的共同任务。
May God bless you. May God bless Israel. May God bless the United States of America. 愿上帝保佑你们。愿上帝保佑以色列。愿上帝保佑美利坚合众国。
Todah rabah. (תּוֹדָה רַבָּה.) 非常感谢。
Thank you. 谢谢大家。
