Thank you so much! Thank you! Thank you, everybody. Everybody, please have a seat. Hello, Brisbane! It’s good to be back in Australia. I love Australia -- I really do. The only problem with Australia is every time I come here I’ve got to sit in conference rooms and talk to politicians instead of go to the beach. 非常感谢大家!谢谢你们!谢谢各位。大家请坐。你好,布里斯班!很高兴再次来到澳大利亚。我热爱澳大利亚——真的很热爱。澳大利亚唯一的问题是,每次我来这里,都得待在会议室里和政客们会谈,而不能去海滩。
To Chancellor Story, Professor Høj, faculty and staff, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen, and most of all, the students of the University of Queensland -- it is great to be here at UQ. I know that we are joined by students from universities across this city, and some high school students, as well. And so I want to thank all of the young people especially for welcoming me here today. 尊敬的斯托里校长、霍伊教授、各位教职员工、各位来宾、女士们、先生们,最重要的是——昆士兰大学的同学们,很高兴来到昆大。我知道,今天还有来自本市各所大学的学生,以及一些高中生也到场了。在此,我要特别感谢所有年轻人今天欢迎我的到来。
On my last visit to this magnificent country three years ago, I had the privilege to meet some of the First Australians; we’re joined by some today. So I want to begin by acknowledging the Traditional Owners of this land and by paying my respects to your elders, past and present. 三年前我上次访问这个伟大的国家时,有幸会见了一些澳大利亚原住民;今天也有原住民朋友在场。因此,在开始演讲之前,我要向这片土地的传统守护者致敬,并向你们的先辈和当代长者表达我的敬意。
This university is recognized as one of the world’s great institutions of science and teaching. Your research led to the vaccine that protects women and girls around the world from cervical cancer. Your innovations have transformed how we treat disease and how we unlock new discoveries. Your studies have warned the world about the urgent threat of climate change. In fact, last year I even tweeted one of your studies to my 31 million followers on Twitter. Just bragging a little bit. I don’t think that’s quite as much as Lady Gaga, but it’s pretty good. 这所大学被公认为世界顶尖的科研与教学机构之一。你们的研究催生了保护全球女性免受宫颈癌侵害的疫苗。你们的创新改变了我们治疗疾病和探索新发现的方式。你们的研究向世界敲响了气候变化紧迫威胁的警钟。事实上,去年我甚至在推特上向我的3100万粉丝转发了你们的一项研究。小小炫耀一下。我觉得虽然比不上Lady Gaga的粉丝多,但也相当不错了。
That’s still not bad. I thank Prime Minister Abbott and the people of Brisbane and Queensland for hosting us at the G-20 Summit. This city, this part of Australia, is just stunning -- “beautiful one day, and then perfect the next.” That’s what I understand. We travel a lot around the world. My staff was very excited for “Brisvegas"1 When I arrived they advised I needed some XXXX. You have some? 那也已经很不错了。我感谢阿博特总理以及布里斯班和昆士兰州的人民主办二十国集团峰会。这座城市,澳大利亚的这片土地,简直美不胜收——"今天美丽,明天更完美"。我是这么听说的。我们走遍世界,我的团队对"布里斯维加斯"感到非常兴奋。我抵达时,他们还建议我喝点XXXX啤酒。你们有吗?
Part of the reason I have fond memories of Australia is I spent some time here as a boy when I was traveling between Hawaii and Indonesia, where I lived for several years. And when I returned three years ago as President, I had the same feelings that I remembered as a child -- the warmth of the people of Australia, the sense of humor. I learned to speak a little “strine.” I’m tempted to “give it a burl.” That’s about as far as I can go actually. 我对澳大利亚怀有美好回忆的部分原因是,小时候我在夏威夷和印度尼西亚之间往返时曾在这里住过一段时间——我在印尼生活过几年。三年前我以总统身份再次来访时,感受到了和童年记忆中一样的东西——澳大利亚人民的热情,还有幽默感。我学了一点"澳洲口音英语"。我真想"试一试"秀几句。不过实际上我也就会这么多了。
But I do want to take this opportunity to express once again the gratitude of the American people for the extraordinary alliance with Australia. I tell my friends and family and people that I meet that there is an incredible commonality between Australia and the United States. And whether that’s because so many of us traveled here as immigrants -- some voluntary and some not; whether it’s because of wide open spaces and the sense of a frontier culture -- there’s a bond between our two countries. 但我确实想借此机会再次表达美国人民对美澳非凡联盟的感激之情。我告诉我的朋友、家人以及遇到的人,澳大利亚和美国之间有着惊人的共通之处。无论是因为我们中许多人作为移民来到这里——有些是自愿的,有些则不是;还是因为广袤的土地和拓荒文化的精神——我们两国之间存在着一种纽带。
And Australia really is everything that you would want in a friend and in an ally. We’re cut from the same cloth: immigrants from an old world who build a new nation. We’re inspired by the same ideals of equality and opportunity -- the belief everybody deserves a fair go, a fair shot. And we share that same spirit -- that confidence and optimism -- that the future is ours to make; that we don’t have to carry with us all the baggage from the past, that we can leave this world a better, safer, more just place for future generations. 而澳大利亚确实是你所期望的那种朋友和盟友。我们同根同源:都是来自旧世界的移民,建立了新的国家。我们被同样的平等与机遇的理想所激励——坚信每个人都应享有公平的机会、公平的待遇。我们有着同样的精神——那份自信与乐观——相信未来由我们自己创造;我们不必背负过去的所有包袱,我们能够为子孙后代留下一个更美好、更安全、更公正的世界。
And that’s what brings me here today -- the future that we can build together, here in the Asia Pacific region. 而这正是我今天来到这里的原因——我们可以在亚太地区共同建设的未来。
Now, this week, I’ve traveled more than 15,000 miles -- from America to China to Burma to Australia. I have no idea what time it is right now. I’m completely upside down. But despite that distance, we know that our world is getting smaller. One of Australia’s great writers spoke of this -- a son of Brisbane and a graduate of this university, David Malouf. And he said, “In that shrinking of distance that is characteristic of our contemporary world, even the Pacific, largest of oceans, has become a lake.” Even the Pacific has become a lake. 这周,我已经飞行了超过15000英里——从美国到中国,再到缅甸,然后来到澳大利亚。我完全不知道现在几点了。我彻底颠倒了时差。但尽管距离遥远,我们知道世界正在变小。澳大利亚一位伟大的作家曾谈到这一点——他是布里斯班之子,也是这所大学的毕业生,戴维·马洛夫。他说:"在我们这个时代的特征——距离的缩短中,即便是最大的海洋太平洋,也变成了一个湖泊。"连太平洋都变成了一个湖泊。
And you see it here on this campus, where you welcome students from all across Asia and around the world, including a number of Americans. You go on exchanges, and we’re proud to welcome so many of you to the United States. You walk the streets of this city and you hear Chinese, Vietnamese, Bahasa Indonesia, Korean, Hindi. And in many neighborhoods more than half the people you meet were born somewhere else. This is a global city in a globalized world. 在这个校园里你就能看到这一点——你们欢迎来自亚洲各地和全世界的学生,包括许多美国学生。你们进行交流访问,我们也很自豪地欢迎你们中的许多人前往美国。走在这座城市的街道上,你能听到中文、越南语、印尼语、韩语、印地语。在许多社区,你遇到的人中有一半以上出生在其他地方。这是一个全球化世界中的全球性城市。
And I often tell young people in America that, even with today’s challenges, this is the best time in history to be alive. Never in the history of humanity have people lived longer, are they more likely to be healthy, more likely to be enjoying basic security. The world is actually much less violent today. You wouldn’t know it from watching television that it once was. 我经常告诉美国的年轻人,尽管当今面临种种挑战,现在仍然是历史上最美好的时代。在人类历史上,人们从未像现在这样长寿,这样健康,这样享有基本的安全保障。当今世界实际上比过去和平得多。你从电视上可能看不出这一点,但事实确实如此。
And that’s true here in the Asia Pacific as well. Countries once ravaged by war, like South Korea and Japan, are among the world’s most advanced economies. From the Philippines to Indonesia, dictatorships have given way to genuine democracies. In China and across the region, hundreds of millions of people have been lifted from poverty in the span of one generation, joining a global middle class. 亚太地区也是如此。曾经饱受战争蹂躏的国家,如韩国和日本,如今已跻身世界最发达经济体之列。从菲律宾到印度尼西亚,独裁政权已让位于真正的民主制度。在中国和整个地区,数亿人在一代人的时间里摆脱了贫困,加入了全球中产阶级的行列。
Empowered by technology, you -- the young people in particular of this region -- are connecting and collaborating across borders and cultures like never before as you seek to build a new future. 在技术的赋能下,你们——尤其是本地区的年轻人——以前所未有的方式跨越国界和文化进行联系与合作,努力建设新的未来。
So the opportunities today are limitless. And I don’t watch a lot of Australian television, so -- as you might imagine, because I’m really far away. So I don’t know whether some of the same tendencies that we see in the United States -- a focus on conflict and disasters and problem -- dominate what’s fed to us visually every single day. But when you look at the facts, opportunities are limitless for this generation. You’re living in an extraordinary time. 所以,今天的机遇是无限的。我不怎么看澳大利亚的电视——你们可以想象,因为我离得太远了。我不知道我们在美国看到的那种倾向——专注于冲突、灾难和问题——是否也主导着你们每天看到的视觉内容。但当你审视事实时,这一代人的机遇是无限的。你们生活在一个非凡的时代。
But what is also true, is that alongside this dynamism, there are genuine dangers that can undermine progress. And we can’t look at those problems through rose-tinted glasses. North Korea’s nuclear and missile programs -- that’s a problem. Disputes over territory, remote islands and rocky shoals that threaten to spiral into confrontation. 但同样真实的是,在这种活力的背后,也存在着可能破坏进步的真正危险。我们不能戴着玫瑰色的眼镜看待这些问题。朝鲜的核计划和导弹计划——这是一个问题。领土争端、偏远岛屿和岩礁争端有可能升级为对抗。
The failure to uphold universal human rights, denying justice to citizens and denying countries their full potential. Economic inequality and extreme poverty that are a recipe for instability. And energy demands in growing cities that also hasten trends towards a changing climate. Indeed, the same technologies that empower citizens like you also give oppressive regimes new tools to stifle dissent. 普遍人权得不到维护,公民得不到正义,国家无法充分发挥其潜力。经济不平等和极端贫困是不稳定的温床。不断发展的城市对能源的需求也加速了气候变化的趋势。事实上,那些赋予像你们这样的公民权力的技术,也给了压迫性政权压制异见的新工具。
So the question that we face is, which of these futures will define the Asia Pacific in the century to come? Do we move towards further integration, more justice, more peace? Or do we move towards disorder and conflict? Those are our choices -- conflict or cooperation? Oppression or liberty? 因此,我们面临的问题是,在未来的世纪里,亚太地区将由哪种前景来定义?我们是走向更深入的融合、更多的正义、更多的和平?还是走向混乱和冲突?这是我们的选择——冲突还是合作?压迫还是自由?
Here in Australia three years ago, in your parliament, I made it clear where the United States stands. We believe that nations and peoples have the right to live in security and peace; that an effective security order for Asia must be based -- not on spheres of influence, or coercion, or intimidation where big nations bully the small -- but on alliances of mutual security, international law and international norms that are upheld, and the peaceful resolution of disputes. 三年前在澳大利亚,在你们的议会中,我明确表明了美国的立场。我们认为,各国和各国人民有权生活在安全与和平之中;亚洲有效的安全秩序必须建立在——不是势力范围,不是胁迫,不是大国欺负小国的威慑——而是相互安全的联盟、得到维护的国际法和国际准则、以及和平解决争端的基础之上。
We believe in open markets and trade that is fair and free -- a level playing field where economies play by the same rules; where the purpose of trade is not simply to extract resources from the ground, but to build true partnerships that raise capacity and living standards in poor countries; where small business owners and entrepreneurs and innovators have the freedom to dream and create and flourish; and how well a country does is based on how well they empower their individual citizens. 我们信奉开放的市场和公平自由的贸易——一个各国经济体遵循相同规则的公平竞争环境;贸易的目的不仅仅是从地下开采资源,而是建立真正的伙伴关系,提升贫穷国家的能力和生活水平;小企业主、企业家和创新者有梦想、创造和蓬勃发展的自由;一个国家的发展程度取决于它赋予其公民个体权力的程度。
And we believe in democracy -- that the only real source of legitimacy is the consent of the people; that every individual is born equal with fundamental rights, inalienable rights, and that it is the responsibility of governments to uphold these rights. This is what we stand for. That is our vision -- the future America is working toward in the Asia Pacific, with allies and friends. 我们信奉民主——合法性的唯一真正来源是人民的同意;每个人生来平等,拥有基本权利、不可剥夺的权利,而政府有责任维护这些权利。这就是我们的立场。这就是我们的愿景——美国正与盟友和朋友一道,在亚太地区为之努力的未来。
Now as a Pacific power, the United States has invested our blood and treasure to advance this vision. We don't just talk about it; we invest in this vision. Generations of Americans have served and died in the Asia Pacific so that the people of the region might live free. So no one should ever question our resolve or our commitment to our allies. 作为一个太平洋大国,美国为推进这一愿景付出了鲜血和财富。我们不只是空谈;我们为这一愿景投入了实际行动。一代又一代的美国人在亚太地区服役并牺牲,以便该地区的人民能够自由生活。因此,任何人都不应质疑我们的决心或我们对盟友的承诺。
When I assumed office, leaders and people across the region were expressing their desire for greater American engagement. And so as President, I decided that -- given the importance of this region to American security, to American prosperity -- the United States would rebalance our foreign policy and play a larger and lasting role in this region. That’s exactly what we’ve done. 我就职时,本地区各国领导人和人民都表达了希望美国更多参与的愿望。因此,作为总统,我决定——鉴于该地区对美国安全、美国繁荣的重要性——美国将重新平衡我们的外交政策,在该地区发挥更大、更持久的作用。这正是我们已经做的。
Today, our alliances, including with Australia, are stronger than they have ever been. American exports to this region have reached record levels. We’ve deepened our cooperation with emerging powers and regional organizations, especially in Southeast Asia. We expanded our partnerships with citizens as they've worked to bolster their democracies. And we’ve shown that -- whether it’s a tsunami or an earthquake or a typhoon -- when our friends are in need, America shows up. We’re there to help. In good times and bad, you can count on the United States of America. 今天,我们的联盟,包括与澳大利亚的联盟,比以往任何时候都更加牢固。美国对该地区的出口达到了创纪录的水平。我们深化了与新兴大国和区域组织的合作,特别是在东南亚。我们扩大了与公民的伙伴关系,支持他们努力巩固本国的民主。我们已经表明——无论是海啸、地震还是台风——当我们的朋友需要帮助时,美国都会挺身而出。我们会伸出援手。无论顺境还是逆境,你们都可以信赖美利坚合众国。
Now, there have been times when people have been skeptical of this rebalancing. They're wondering whether America has the staying power to sustain it. And it's true that in recent years pressing events around the world demand our attention. As the world’s only superpower, the United States has unique responsibilities that we gladly embrace. We’re leading the international community in the fight to destroy the terrorist group ISIL. 有时候,人们对这种再平衡持怀疑态度。他们想知道美国是否有持续推进的耐力。诚然,近年来世界各地的紧迫事件需要我们关注。作为世界上唯一的超级大国,美国肩负着我们欣然承担的独特责任。我们正领导国际社会打击并摧毁恐怖组织伊斯兰国。
We're leading in dealing with Ebola in West Africa and in opposing Russia’s aggression against Ukraine -- which is a threat to the world, as we saw in the appalling shoot-down of MH17, a tragedy that took so many innocent lives, among them your fellow citizens. As your ally and friend, America shares the grief of these Australian families, and we share the determination of your nation for justice and accountability. So, yes, we have a range of responsibilities. That's the deal. It's a burden we gladly shoulder. 我们在西非应对埃博拉疫情方面发挥着领导作用,我们也在反对俄罗斯对乌克兰的侵略——这是对世界的威胁,正如我们在MH17航班被骇人听闻地击落事件中所看到的那样,这场悲剧夺去了众多无辜的生命,其中包括你们的同胞。作为你们的盟友和朋友,美国与这些澳大利亚家庭感同身受,我们也与你们国家一样,决心追求正义和问责。所以是的,我们肩负着一系列责任。这就是现实。这是我们欣然承担的重担。
But even in each of these international efforts, some of our strongest partners are our allies and friends in this region, including Australia. So meeting these other challenges in the world is not a distraction from our engagement in this region, it reinforces our engagement in this region. Our rebalance is not only about the United States doing more in Asia, it’s also about the Asia Pacific region doing more with us around the world. 但即便在所有这些国际行动中,我们最坚定的合作伙伴也包括本地区的盟友和朋友,其中就有澳大利亚。因此,应对世界上的这些其他挑战并不会分散我们对该地区参与的注意力,反而会加强我们在该地区的参与。我们的再平衡不仅关乎美国在亚洲做更多事,也关乎亚太地区与我们在全球范围内开展更多合作。
So I’m here today to say that American leadership in the Asia Pacific will always be a fundamental focus of my foreign policy. It won’t always make the headlines. It won’t always be measured in the number of trips I make -- although I do keep coming back. But day in, and day out, steadily, deliberately, we will continue to deepen our engagement using every element of American power -- diplomacy, military, economic, development, the power of our values and our ideals. 因此,我今天在这里要说的是,美国在亚太地区的领导地位将始终是我外交政策的基本重点。它不会总是成为头条新闻。它不会总是以我访问的次数来衡量——尽管我确实不断地回来。但日复一日,稳步地、有计划地,我们将继续深化参与,运用美国力量的每一个要素——外交、军事、经济、发展,以及我们价值观和理想的力量。
And so in the time I have left, I want to describe, specifically, what America intends to do in the coming years. 因此,在接下来的时间里,我想具体说明美国在未来几年打算做什么。
First, the United States will continue strengthening our alliances. With Japan, we’ll finalize new defense guidelines and keep realigning our forces for the future. With the Republic of Korea, we’ll deepen our collaboration, including on missile defense, to deter and defend against North Korean threats. With the Philippines, we’ll train and exercise more to prepare for challenges from counterterrorism and piracy to humanitarian crises and disaster relief. And here in Australia, more U.S. Marines will rotate through to promote regional stability, alongside your “diggers.” 首先,美国将继续加强我们的联盟。与日本一道,我们将敲定新的防卫指针,并继续为未来调整我们的军事部署。与大韩民国一道,我们将深化合作,包括在导弹防御方面,以威慑和防御朝鲜的威胁。与菲律宾一道,我们将增加训练和演习,为从反恐、海盗到人道主义危机和救灾等各种挑战做好准备。而在澳大利亚,将有更多的美国海军陆战队轮值驻扎,与你们的"澳新军团士兵"并肩作战,促进地区稳定。
Although I will say when I went out to Darwin to inaugurate the new rotation of our U.S. Marines there, that the mayor, I think it was, took out crocodile insurance, which disturbed me. I mean I was flattered that he took out insurance on my behalf. But I did ask my ambassador what this was all about. And he described to me how crocodiles kill more people than sharks, and there are just a lot of things in Australia that can kill you. But that's an aside. 不过我得说,当我去达尔文主持美国海军陆战队新轮驻部队的启动仪式时,那位市长——我记得是市长——买了鳄鱼保险,这让我有点不安。我的意思是,他为我买保险让我受宠若惊。但我确实问了我的大使这是怎么回事。他跟我说,鳄鱼杀死的人比鲨鱼还多,澳大利亚有好多东西都能要了你的命。不过这都是题外话。
We have an ironclad commitment to the sovereignty, independence, and security of every ally. And we’ll expand cooperation between allies, because we believe we’re stronger when we stand together. 我们对每一个盟友的主权、独立和安全都有着坚不可摧的承诺。我们将扩大盟友之间的合作,因为我们相信,团结一致我们会更强大。
The United States will continue to modernize our defense posture across the region. We’ll deploy more of our most advanced military capabilities to keep the peace and deter aggression. Our presence will be more distributed, including in Southeast Asia with partners like Singapore. And we’ll increase military training and education, including working with the military partners we have in this region around the respect for human rights by military and police. 美国将继续推进我们在整个地区防务态势的现代化。我们将部署更多最先进的军事能力来维护和平、威慑侵略。我们的军事存在将更加分散,包括在东南亚与新加坡等伙伴合作。我们还将增加军事训练和教育,包括与本地区的军事伙伴合作,推动军队和警察尊重人权。
And by the end of this decade, a majority of our Navy and Air Force fleets will be based out of the Pacific, because the United States is, and will always be, a Pacific power. 到本十年末,我们海军和空军的大部分舰队将部署在太平洋地区,因为美国现在是、而且永远是一个太平洋大国。
And keep in mind we do this without any territorial claims. We do this based on our belief that a region that is peaceful and prosperous is good for us and is good for the world. 请记住,我们这样做不带有任何领土主张。我们这样做是基于我们的信念:一个和平繁荣的地区对我们有利,对世界也有利。
The United States will continue broadening our cooperation with emerging powers and emerging economies. We intend to help Vietnam pursue economic reforms and new maritime capabilities. We will continue to move ahead with our comprehensive partnership with Indonesia, which is a strong example of diversity and pluralism. We’ll continue to expand ties with Malaysia, a growing center of entrepreneurship and innovation. And we support a greater role in the Asia Pacific for India, which is the world’s largest democracy. 美国将继续扩大与新兴大国和新兴经济体的合作。我们打算帮助越南推进经济改革和发展新的海上能力。我们将继续推进与印度尼西亚的全面伙伴关系,印尼是多样性和多元主义的典范。我们将继续扩大与马来西亚的关系,马来西亚是一个日益增长的创业和创新中心。我们支持世界上最大的民主国家——印度——在亚太地区发挥更大作用。
The United States will continue expanding our engagement with regional institutions, because together we can meet shared challenges -- from preventing the horror of human trafficking to countering violent extremism, to stemming the flow of foreign terrorist fighters. Together, we can improve maritime security, upholding freedom of navigation and encouraging territorial disputes are resolved peacefully. We’ll work with partners to develop the East Asia Summit into the region’s leading forum for addressing political and security challenges. 美国将继续扩大与区域机构的接触,因为我们可以共同应对共同的挑战——从防止人口贩运的恐怖行径,到打击暴力极端主义,再到遏制外国恐怖主义战斗人员的流动。我们可以共同改善海上安全,维护航行自由,推动领土争端得到和平解决。我们将与伙伴合作,把东亚峰会建设成为本地区应对政治和安全挑战的首要论坛。
And we’ll support ASEAN’s effort to reach a code of conduct with China that reinforces international law in the South China Sea. 我们将支持东盟与中国达成行为准则的努力,以在南海强化国际法。
And speaking of China, the United States will continue to pursue a constructive relationship with China. By virtue of its size and its remarkable growth, China will inevitably play a critical role in the future of this region. And the question is, what kind of role will it play? I just came from Beijing, and I said there, the United States welcomes the continuing rise of a China that is peaceful and prosperous and stable and that plays a responsible role in world affairs. 说到中国,美国将继续寻求与中国建立建设性关系。凭借其规模和惊人的增长速度,中国将不可避免地在本地区的未来中发挥关键作用。问题是,它将发挥什么样的作用?我刚从北京过来,我在那里说过,美国欢迎一个和平、繁荣、稳定,并在国际事务中发挥负责任作用的中国持续崛起。
It is a remarkable achievement that millions of people have been lifted out of poverty in China because of the extraordinary growth rates that they’ve experienced. That is a good thing. We should want and welcome that kind of development. 数以百万计的中国人因为中国所经历的非凡增长速度而摆脱了贫困,这是一项了不起的成就。这是一件好事。我们应该期待并欢迎这样的发展。
And if, in fact, China is playing the role of a responsible actor that is peaceful and prosperous and stable, that is good for this region, it’s good for the world, it’s good for the United States. So we’ll pursue cooperation with China where our interests overlap or align. And there are significant areas of overlap: More trade and investment; more communications between our militaries to prevent misunderstandings or possible conflict; more travel and exchanges between our people; and more cooperation on global challenges, from Ebola to climate change. 事实上,如果中国扮演一个和平、繁荣、稳定的负责任角色,这对本地区有利,对世界有利,对美国也有利。因此,在我们利益重叠或一致的领域,我们将寻求与中国合作。有很多重要的合作领域:更多的贸易和投资;两军之间更多的沟通以防止误解或可能的冲突;两国人民之间更多的旅行和交流;以及在从埃博拉到气候变化等全球挑战上更多的合作。
But in this engagement we are also encouraging China to adhere to the same rules as other nations -- whether in trade or on the seas. And in this engagement we will continue to be frank about where there are differences, because America will continue to stand up for our interests and principles, including our unwavering support for the fundamental human rights of all people. 但在这种接触中,我们也鼓励中国遵守与其他国家相同的规则——无论是在贸易领域还是在海洋事务中。在这种接触中,我们将继续坦诚地指出存在分歧的地方,因为美国将继续捍卫我们的利益和原则,包括我们对所有人基本人权的坚定支持。
We do not benefit from a relationship with China or any other country in which we put our values and our ideals aside. And for the young people, practicality is a good thing. There are times where compromise is necessary. That’s part of wisdom. But it’s also important to hang on to what you believe -- to know what you believe and then be willing to stand up for it. And what’s true for individuals is also true for countries. 如果我们把自己的价值观和理想放在一边,那么与中国或任何其他国家的关系都不会给我们带来好处。对于年轻人来说,务实是件好事。有时候妥协是必要的。这是智慧的一部分。但坚持自己的信念也很重要——知道自己相信什么,然后愿意为之挺身而出。对个人如此,对国家也是如此。
The United States will continue to promote economic growth that is sustainable and shared. So we’re going to work with APEC to tear down barriers to trade and investment and combat the corruption that steals from so many citizens. We’ll keep opposing special preferences for state-owned companies. We’ll oppose cyber-theft of trade secrets. We’ll work with partners to invest in the region’s infrastructure in a way that’s open and transparent. 美国将继续促进可持续和共享的经济增长。因此,我们将与亚太经合组织合作,打破贸易和投资壁垒,打击窃取众多公民利益的腐败行为。我们将继续反对国有企业享有特殊优惠。我们将反对网络盗窃商业机密。我们将与伙伴合作,以公开透明的方式投资于本地区的基础设施。
We’ll support reforms that help economies transition to models that boost domestic demand and invest in people and their education and their skills. 我们将支持各项改革,帮助各经济体转向扩大内需、投资于人民及其教育和技能的模式。
We’ll keep leading the effort to realize the Trans-Pacific Partnership to lower barriers, open markets, export goods, and create good jobs for our people. But with the 12 countries of the TPP making up nearly 40 percent of the global economy, this is also about something bigger. It is our chance to put in place new, high standards for trade in the 21st century that uphold our values. 我们将继续领导实现跨太平洋伙伴关系协定的努力,以降低壁垒、开放市场、出口商品,并为我们的人民创造好的就业机会。但鉴于TPP的12个成员国占全球经济的近40%,这件事的意义还不止于此。这是我们为21世纪贸易制定新的、高标准的机会,这些标准将捍卫我们的价值观。
So, for example, we are pushing new standards in this trade agreement, requiring countries that participate to protect their workers better and to protect the environment better, and protect intellectual property that unleashes innovation, and baseline standards to ensure transparency and rule of law. 因此,举例来说,我们正在推动这项贸易协定中的新标准,要求参与国更好地保护本国工人,更好地保护环境,保护能够激发创新的知识产权,并制定确保透明度和法治的基准标准。
It’s about a future where instead of being dependent on a single market, countries integrate their economies so they’re innovating and growing together. That’s what TPP does. That’s why it would be a historic achievement. That’s why I believe so strongly that we need to get it done -- not just for our countries, but for the world. 这关乎一个未来——各国不再依赖单一市场,而是实现经济一体化,共同创新、共同发展。这就是TPP的意义所在。这就是为什么它将是一项历史性成就。这就是为什么我坚信我们需要完成这项协定——不仅为了我们各国,也为了整个世界。
But that’s also why it’s hard -- because we’re asking all these countries at various stages of development to up their game. And it requires big transitions for a lot of these countries, including for the United States. And TPP is just one part of our overall focus on growing the global economy. That’s what the G-20 meetings are all about. 但这也正是其困难所在——因为我们要求所有这些处于不同发展阶段的国家都提升自己的水平。这对其中许多国家,包括美国,都需要重大的转型。而TPP只是我们促进全球经济增长整体工作的一部分。这也正是二十国集团峰会的意义所在。
Over the last few years, the United States has put more people back to work than all other advanced economies combined. But America can’t be expected to just carry the world economy on our back. So here in Brisbane, the G-20 has a responsibility to act -- to boost demand, and invest more in infrastructure, and create good jobs for the people of all our nations. 过去几年,美国让重返工作岗位的人数超过了所有其他发达经济体的总和。但不能指望美国独自扛起世界经济的重担。因此,在布里斯班,二十国集团有责任采取行动——扩大需求,加大基础设施投资,为我们各国人民创造好的就业机会。
As we develop, as we focus on our econ, we cannot forget the need to lead on the global fight against climate change. Now, I know that’s -- I know there’s been a healthy debate in this country about it. Here in the Asia Pacific, nobody has more at stake when it comes to thinking about and then acting on climate change. 在我们发展经济、专注于经济增长的同时,我们不能忘记在全球抗击气候变化的斗争中发挥领导作用的必要性。我知道——我知道贵国国内对此一直有一场积极的辩论。在亚太地区,在思考并采取行动应对气候变化方面,没有哪个地区比这里关系更为重大。
Here, a climate that increases in temperature will mean more extreme and frequent storms, more flooding, rising seas that submerge Pacific islands. Here in Australia, it means longer droughts, more wildfires. The incredible natural glory of the Great Barrier Reef is threated. Worldwide, this past summer was the hottest on record. No nation is immune, and every nation has a responsibility to do its part. 在这里,气温升高将意味着更极端、更频繁的风暴,更多的洪水,海平面上升将淹没太平洋岛屿。在澳大利亚,这意味着更长时间的干旱、更多的森林火灾。大堡礁令人惊叹的自然奇观正受到威胁。在全球范围内,刚刚过去的夏天是有记录以来最热的夏天。没有哪个国家能独善其身,每个国家都有责任尽自己的一份力量。
And you’ll recall at the beginning I said the United States and Australia has a lot in common. Well, one of the things we have in common is we produce a lot of carbon. Part of it’s this legacy of wide-open spaces and the frontier mentality, and this incredible abundance of resources. And so, historically, we have not been the most energy-efficient of nations, which means we’ve got to step up. 你们应该还记得我一开始说过,美国和澳大利亚有很多共同之处。嗯,我们的共同点之一就是我们都排放大量的碳。部分原因是广袤的土地和拓荒精神的传统,以及极其丰富的资源。因此,从历史上看,我们都不是能源效率最高的国家,这意味着我们必须加倍努力。
In the United States, our carbon pollution is near its lowest levels in almost two decades -- and I’m very proud of that. Under my Climate Action Plan, we intend to do more. In Beijing, I announced our ambitious new goal -- reducing our net greenhouse gas emissions by 26 to 28 percent below 2005 levels by the year 2025, which will double the pace at which we’re reducing carbon pollution in the United States. Now, in a historic step, China made its own commitment, for the first time, agreeing to slow, peak and then reverse the course of China’s carbon emissions. 在美国,我们的碳排放已接近近二十年来的最低水平——我对此感到非常自豪。根据我的气候行动计划,我们打算做得更多。在北京,我宣布了我们宏伟的新目标——到2025年将美国温室气体净排放量在2005年的基础上减少26%至28%,这将使美国减少碳排放的速度翻一番。而作为历史性的一步,中国也首次作出了自己的承诺,同意让中国的碳排放增速放缓、达到峰值然后实现下降。
And the reason that’s so important is because if China, as it develops, adapts the same per capita carbon emissions as advanced economies like the United States or Australia, this planet doesn’t stand a chance, because they’ve got a lot more people. 这一点之所以如此重要,是因为如果中国在发展过程中采用与美国或澳大利亚等发达经济体相同的人均碳排放量,那么这个星球将毫无希望,因为中国的人口要多得多。
So them setting up a target sends a powerful message to the world that all countries -- whether you are a developed country, a developing country, or somewhere in between -- you’ve got to be able to overcome old divides, look squarely at the science, and reach a strong global climate agreement next year. And if China and the United States can agree on this, then the world can agree on this. We can get this done. And it is necessary for us to get it done. 因此,中国设定目标向世界传递了一个强有力的信息,即所有国家——无论你是发达国家、发展中国家,还是介于两者之间——都必须能够克服旧的分歧,正视科学,并在明年达成一项强有力的全球气候协议。如果中国和美国能够在这一点上达成一致,那么世界就能够达成一致。我们能够做到这一点。而我们也必须做到这一点。
Because I have not had to go to the Great Barrier Reef and I want to come back, and I want my daughters to be able to come back, and I want them to be able to bring their daughters or sons to visit. And I want that there 50 years from now. 因为我还没去过大堡礁,我希望以后能再来,我希望我的女儿们也能再来,我希望她们将来也能带着自己的儿女来参观。我希望五十年后大堡礁依然在那里。
Now, today, I’m announcing that the United States will take another important step. We are going to contribute $3 billion to the Green Climate Fund so we can help developing nations deal with climate change. So along with the other nations that have pledged support, this gives us the opportunity to help vulnerable communities with an early-warning system, with stronger defenses against storm surges, climate-resilient infrastructure. It allows us to help farmers plant more durable crops. 今天,我要宣布,美国将采取另一项重要举措。我们将向绿色气候基金捐款30亿美元,以帮助发展中国家应对气候变化。加上其他已承诺提供支持的国家,这让我们有机会帮助脆弱社区建立预警系统,加强抵御风暴潮的能力,建设适应气候变化的基础设施。这让我们能够帮助农民种植更耐旱的作物。
And it allows us to help developing countries break out of this false choice between development and pollution; let them leap-frog some of the dirty industries that powered our development; go straight to a clean-energy economy that allows them to grow, create jobs, and at the same time reduce their carbon pollution. 这让我们能够帮助发展中国家摆脱发展与污染之间的虚假选择;让他们跳过一些曾经推动我们发展的高污染产业;直接迈向清洁能源经济,让他们在实现增长、创造就业的同时,减少碳排放。
So we’ve very proud of the work that we have already done. We are mindful of the great work that still has to be done on this issue. But let me say, particularly again to the young people here: Combating climate change cannot be the work of governments alone. Citizens, especially the next generation, you have to keep raising your voices, because you deserve to live your lives in a world that is cleaner and that is healthier and that is sustainable. But that is not going to happen unless you are heard. 我们为已经完成的工作感到非常自豪。我们也深知,在这个问题上还有大量工作要做。但请允许我再次特别对在座的年轻人说:应对气候变化不能仅仅是政府的工作。公民们,尤其是下一代的你们,必须不断发出你们的声音,因为你们理应生活在一个更清洁、更健康、更可持续的世界里。但这不会自动发生,除非你们的声音被听到。
It is in the nature of things, it is in the nature of the world that those of us who start getting gray hair are a little set in our ways, that interests are entrenched -- not because people are bad people, it’s just that’s how we’ve been doing things. And we make investments, and companies start depending on certain energy sources, and change is uncomfortable and difficult. And that’s why it’s so important for the next generation to be able to step and say, no, it doesn’t have to be this way. 事物的本性就是如此,世界的本性就是如此——我们这些开始长出白发的人有点墨守成规,既得利益根深蒂固——不是因为人们是坏人,只是因为我们一直是这么做的。我们进行了投资,企业开始依赖某些能源,而改变是令人不安和困难的。这就是为什么下一代能够站出来说"不,事情不一定非得是这样"是如此重要。
You have the power to imagine a new future in a way that some of the older folks don’t always have. 你们有能力想象一个新的未来,而这是一些年长的人往往做不到的。
And the same is true when it comes to issues of democracy and human rights. There are times where when we speak out on these issues we are told that democracy is just a Western value. I fundamentally disagree with that. Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, they have built thriving democracies. Filipinos showed us the strength of People Power. Indonesians just voted in a historic election. I just came from Burma; this is a place that for 40 years was under the grip of a military junta, one of the most closed and oppressive nations on Earth. 在民主和人权问题上也是如此。有时候,当我们在这些问题上发声时,有人告诉我们民主只是一种西方价值观。我完全不同意这种说法。日本、台湾、韩国都建立了蓬勃发展的民主制度。菲律宾人民向我们展示了人民力量的力量。印度尼西亚人民刚刚在一场历史性的选举中投了票。我刚从缅甸过来;那里曾在军政府统治下度过了四十年,是地球上最封闭、最压迫的国家之一。
And there, I was inspired by citizens and civil society and parliamentarians who are now working to sustain a transition to a democratic future. I had a town hall meeting with young people like you, in which they were asking, what does it mean to create rule of law? And how should we deal with ethnic diversity in our city? You could feel the excitement. What does a free press look like, and how does it operate? And how do we make sure that journalism is responsible? Incredible ferment and debate that’s taking place. 在那里,我受到了公民、公民社会和议员们的鼓舞,他们现在正努力维持向民主未来的过渡。我和像你们一样的年轻人举行了一场市民大会,他们在问:建立法治意味着什么?我们应该如何处理城市中的种族多样性?你能感受到那种兴奋。新闻自由是什么样的,它是如何运作的?我们如何确保新闻业是负责任的?那里正在发生令人难以置信的思想激荡和辩论。
Those young people, they want the same things that you do. The notion that somehow they’re less interested in opportunity or less interested in avoiding arbitrary arrest, or less interested in being censored is fundamentally untrue. Today, people in Hong Kong are speaking out for their universal rights. 那些年轻人,他们想要的东西和你们一样。那种认为他们对机遇不那么感兴趣、对避免任意逮捕不那么在意、对受到审查无所谓的想法是完全错误的。今天,香港人民正在为他们的普世权利发声。
And so here in Asia and around the world, America supports free and fair elections, because citizens must be free to choose their own leaders -- as in Thailand where we are urging a quick return to inclusive, civilian rule. We support freedom of assembly, and freedom of speech, and freedom of the press, a free and open Internet, strong civil societies, because the voices of the people must be heard and leaders must be held accountable -- even though it’s uncomfortable sometimes. 因此,在亚洲和世界各地,美国支持自由公正的选举,因为公民必须能够自由选择自己的领导人——比如在泰国,我们正在敦促该国迅速回归包容性的文官统治。我们支持集会自由、言论自由、新闻自由、自由开放的互联网、强大的公民社会,因为人民的声音必须被听到,领导人必须被问责——尽管有时这令人不快。
I promise you, if you lead a country, there are times where you are aggravated with people voicing opinions that seem to think you’re doing something wrong. You prefer everybody just praise you. I understand. But that’s not how societies move forward. 我向你们保证,如果你领导一个国家,有时候你会对那些认为你做错了什么的人感到恼火。你更希望所有人都赞美你。我理解。但社会不是这样进步的。
We support strong institutions and independent judiciaries and open government, because the rule of force must give way to the rule of law. 我们支持强大的制度、独立的司法和开放的政府,因为暴力统治必须让位于法治。
And in that same fashion, the United States will continue to stand up for the inherent dignity of every human being. Now, dignity begins with the most basic of needs -- a life free of hunger and disease and want. So, yes, we’ll speak out on behalf of human rights, but we are also going to invest in the agriculture that allows farmers to feed their families and boost their incomes. We’ll invest in the development that promotes growth and helps end the injustice of extreme poverty in places like the Lower Mekong Delta. 同样地,美国将继续捍卫每一个人固有的尊严。尊严始于最基本的需求——免于饥饿、疾病和匮乏的生活。所以,是的,我们会为人权发声,但我们也会投资农业,让农民能够养活家人、增加收入。我们将投资于促进增长的发展事业,帮助结束湄公河三角洲下游等地极端贫困的不公正现象。
We intend to partner with all the countries in the region to create stronger public health systems and new treatments that save lives and realize our goals of being the first AIDS-free generation. 我们打算与本地区所有国家合作,建立更强大的公共卫生系统和新的治疗方法,以拯救生命,实现我们成为第一代无艾滋病的目标。
And what we’ve learned from the Ebola outbreak is that in this globalized world, where the Pacific is like a lake, if countries are so poor that they can’t afford basic public health infrastructure, that threatens our health. We cannot built a moat around our countries, and we shouldn’t try. What we should be doing is making sure everybody has some basic public health systems that allow for early warning when outbreaks of infectious disease may occur. That’s not just out of charity. It is in our self-interest. 我们从埃博拉疫情中得到的教训是,在这个全球化的世界里,在太平洋就像一个湖泊的世界里,如果一些国家太穷,连基本的公共卫生基础设施都负担不起,那也会威胁到我们的健康。我们不能在自己国家周围筑起护城河,我们也不应该尝试这样做。我们应该做的是确保每个人都有基本的公共卫生系统,在传染病爆发时能够发出早期预警。这不仅仅是出于慈善。这也符合我们自身的利益。
And again, I want to speak to young people about this. When we talk about these issues of development, when we invest in the wellbeing of people on the other side of the globe, when we stand up for freedom, including occasionally having to engage in military actions, we don’t do that just because we are charitable. We do that because we recognize that we are linked, and that if somebody, some child is stricken with a curable disease on the other side of the world, at same point that could have an impact on our child. 我再次想对年轻人谈谈这一点。当我们谈论这些发展问题时,当我们投资于地球另一端人民的福祉时,当我们捍卫自由,包括偶尔不得不采取军事行动时,我们这样做不仅仅是因为我们有善心。我们这样做是因为我们认识到我们是相互联系的,如果世界另一端有某个孩子患上了一种可治愈的疾病,在某种程度上也可能影响到我们的孩子。
We’ll advance human dignity by standing up for the rights of minorities, because no one’s equality should ever be denied. We will stand up for freedom of religion -- the right of every person to practice their faith as they choose -- because we are all children of God, and we are all fallible. And the notion that we, as a majority, or the state should tell somebody else what to believe with respect to their faith, is against our basic values. 我们将通过捍卫少数群体的权利来促进人的尊严,因为任何人的平等权利都不应被剥夺。我们将捍卫宗教自由——每个人都有按照自己的选择信仰宗教的权利——因为我们都是上帝的孩子,我们都不是完美的。那种认为我们作为多数派,或者国家应该告诉别人在信仰上应该相信什么的观念,违背了我们的基本价值观。
We will stand up for our gay and lesbian fellow citizens, because they need to be treated equally under the law. We will stand up for the rights and futures of our wives and daughters and partners, because I believe that the best measure of whether a nation is going to be successful is whether they are tapping the talents of their women and treating them as full participants in politics and society and the econ. 我们将捍卫我们的男女同性恋同胞,因为他们需要在法律面前得到平等对待。我们将捍卫我们的妻子、女儿和女性伴侣的权利和未来,因为我相信,衡量一个国家是否成功的最好标准,就是它是否能够发挥女性的才智,是否将她们视为政治、社会和经济的完全参与者。
And we’re going to continue to invest in the future of this region, and that means you, this region’s youth -- all of you -- your optimism, your idealism, your hopes. I see it everywhere I go. I spend a lot of time with young people. I spend a lot of time with old people, too. But I prefer spending time with young people. I meet them in Tokyo and Seoul, and Manila and Jakarta. It’s the spirit of young men and women in Kuala Lumpur and Rangoon, who are participating in our Young Southeast Asian Leaders Initiative. And like you, they’re ready to lead. 我们将继续投资于本地区的未来,这意味着你们——本地区的年轻人——你们所有人,你们的乐观、你们的理想主义、你们的希望。我所到之处都能看到这一点。我花很多时间和年轻人在一起。我也花很多时间和年长的人在一起。但我更喜欢和年轻人在一起。我在东京、首尔、马尼拉和雅加达见到他们。在吉隆坡和仰光,那些参与我们"东南亚青年领袖倡议"的年轻男女身上,我看到了这种精神。和你们一样,他们已经准备好承担领导责任。
To the young woman with an idea who dreams of starting her own business -- if she just had the network, if she just had the capital, America wants to be her partner, because we believe in the entrepreneur that you can be, the innovations you can spark and the jobs you can create. And when you succeed, we’ll all be more prosperous. 致那位有想法、梦想创办自己企业的年轻女性——如果她有人脉网络,如果她有资金,美国愿意成为她的伙伴,因为我们相信你能成为企业家,相信你能激发创新,相信你能创造就业。当你成功时,我们所有人都会更加繁荣。
To the young man who’s working late in a clinic, tending to a patient, who dreams not just of treating diseases, but preventing them -- if I just had the resources, if I just had the support -- we want to be your partner, because we believe in the advocate that you can be, and in the families you can reach and the lives you can save. And when you succeed, our world will be better. 致那位在诊所里工作到深夜、照顾病人的年轻人,他不仅梦想治疗疾病,还梦想预防疾病——如果我有资源,如果我有支持——我们愿意成为你的伙伴,因为我们相信你能成为倡导者,相信你能帮助的家庭和你能拯救的生命。当你成功时,我们的世界会变得更好。
To the young woman tired of the tensions in her community, who dreams of helping her neighbors see beyond differences -- if she could just start a dialogue, if she knew how others had walked the same path -- well, America wants to be your partner, because we believe in the activist that you can be, and the empathy that you can build, and the understanding you can foster between people. And when you succeed, our world will be a little more peaceful. 致那位厌倦了社区紧张局势的年轻女性,她梦想帮助邻居们超越分歧——如果她能开启对话,如果她知道其他人是如何走过同样道路的——那么,美国愿意成为你的伙伴,因为我们相信你能成为社会活动家,相信你能建立同理心,相信你能促进人与人之间的理解。当你成功时,我们的世界会多一点和平。
And to the young man who believes his voice isn’t being heard, who dreams of bringing people like him together across his country -- if he just knew how to organize and mobilize them -- we want to be your partner, because we believe in the leaders that you can be, in the difference you can make to ignite positive change. And when you succeed, the world will be a little more free. 致那位认为自己的声音没有被听到的年轻人,他梦想把全国各地和他一样的人聚集在一起——如果他知道如何组织和动员他们——我们愿意成为你的伙伴,因为我们相信你能成为领导者,相信你能为激发积极变革做出贡献。当你成功时,世界会多一点自由。
So that’s the future we can build together. That’s the commitment America is making in the Asia Pacific. It’s a partnership not just with nations, but with people, with you, for decades to come. Bound by the values we share, guided by the vision we seek, I am absolutely confident we can advance the security and the prosperity and the dignity of people across this region. And in pursuit of that future, you will have no greater friend than the United States of America. 这就是我们可以共同建设的未来。这就是美国在亚太地区作出的承诺。这不仅是与各国的伙伴关系,也是与人民、与你们的伙伴关系,并且将持续数十年。以我们共同的价值观为纽带,以我们追求的愿景为指引,我完全有信心,我们能够促进本地区人民的安全、繁荣和尊严。在追求这一未来的过程中,你们最亲密的朋友就是美利坚合众国。
So thank you very much. God bless Australia. God bless America. God bless our great alliance. 非常感谢大家。上帝保佑澳大利亚。上帝保佑美国。上帝保佑我们伟大的联盟。
Thank you. 谢谢。
