Good afternoon, everybody. Secretary Clinton and I just concluded a meeting that focused on the ongoing situation in Libya. Over the last few days, my national security team has been working around the clock to monitor the situation there and to coordinate with our international partners about a way forward. 大家下午好。国务卿克林顿和我刚刚结束了一次会议，重点讨论了利比亚的持续局势。过去几天，我的国家安全团队一直在昼夜不停地监控当地局势，并与我们的国际合作伙伴协调下一步行动。
First, we are doing everything we can to protect American citizens. That is my highest priority. In Libya, we've urged our people to leave the country and the State Department is assisting those in need of support. Meanwhile, I think all Americans should give thanks to the heroic work that's being done by our foreign service officers and the men and women serving in our embassies and consulates around the world. They represent the very best of our country and its values. 首先，我们正在尽一切努力保护美国公民的安全。这是我的首要任务。在利比亚，我们敦促我国公民离开该国，国务院正在为需要帮助的人提供援助。与此同时，我认为所有美国人都应该感谢我们的外交官以及在世界各地大使馆和领事馆工作的男男女女们所做出的英勇工作。他们代表着我们国家及其价值观的最优秀代表。
Now, throughout this period of unrest and upheaval across the region the United States has maintained a set of core principles which guide our approach. These principles apply to the situation in Libya. As I said last week, we strongly condemn the use of violence in Libya. 在整个地区动荡和剧变的这段时期，美国始终秉持着一套指导我们行动的核心原则。这些原则适用于利比亚的局势。正如我上周所说，我们强烈谴责利比亚发生的暴力行为。
The American people extend our deepest condolences to the families and loved ones of all who have been killed and injured. The suffering and bloodshed is outrageous and it is unacceptable. So are threats and orders to shoot peaceful protesters and further punish the people of Libya. These actions violate international norms and every standard of common decency. This violence must stop. 美国人民向所有遇难者和受伤者的家属及亲人致以最深切的哀悼。流血和苦难令人愤慨，不可接受。威胁和命令射杀和平示威者、进一步惩罚利比亚人民的行为同样不可接受。这些行为违反了国际准则和一切基本道德标准。这种暴力必须停止。
The United States also strongly supports the universal rights of the Libyan people. That includes the rights of peaceful assembly, free speech, and the ability of the Libyan people to determine their own destiny. These are human rights. They are not negotiable. They must be respected in every country. And they cannot be denied through violence or suppression. 美国同样坚定支持利比亚人民的普遍权利。这些权利包括和平集会、言论自由以及利比亚人民决定自己命运的权利。这些是人权。它们不可谈判。它们必须在每个国家得到尊重。它们不能通过暴力或压制来剥夺。
In a volatile situation like this one, it is imperative that the nations and peoples of the world speak with one voice, and that has been our focus. Yesterday a unanimous U.N. Security Council sent a clear message that it condemns the violence in Libya, supports accountability for the perpetrators, and stands with the Libyan people. 在这样的动荡局势中，世界各国和人民发出一致的声音至关重要，这一直是我们的重点。昨天，联合国安理会一致发出明确信息，谴责利比亚的暴力行为，支持追究施暴者的责任，并与利比亚人民站在一起。
This same message, by the way, has been delivered by the European Union, the Arab League, the African Union, the Organization of the Islamic Conference, and many individual nations. North and south, east and west, voices are being raised together to oppose suppression and support the rights of the Libyan people. 同样的信息也已由欧盟、阿拉伯联盟、非洲联盟、伊斯兰会议组织以及许多国家传达。无论南北东西，反对压迫、支持利比亚人民权利的声音正在汇聚。
I have also asked my administration to prepare the full range of options that we have to respond to this crisis. This includes those actions we may take and those we will coordinate with our allies and partners, or those that we will carry out through multilateral institutions. 我还要求我的政府准备好我们应对这场危机的全部选项。这包括我们可能采取的行动、我们将与盟友和伙伴协调的行动，以及我们将通过多边机构实施的行动。
Like all governments, the Libyan government has a responsibility to refrain from violence, to allow humanitarian assistance to reach those in need, and to respect the rights of its people. It must be held accountable for its failure to meet those responsibilities, and face the cost of continued violations of human rights. 与所有政府一样，利比亚政府有责任避免暴力、允许人道主义援助送达需要帮助的人，并尊重其人民的权利。它必须为其未能履行这些责任而承担责任，并面对持续侵犯人权的代价。
This is not simply a concern of the United States. The entire world is watching, and we will coordinate our assistance and accountability measures with the international community. To that end, Secretary Clinton and I have asked Bill Burns, our Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs, to make several stops in Europe and the region to intensify our consultations with allies and partners about the situation in Libya. 这不仅仅是美国的关切。全世界都在关注，我们将与国际社会协调我们的援助和问责措施。为此，国务卿克林顿和我已请负责政治事务的副国务卿比尔·伯恩斯在欧洲和该地区停留几站，加强与盟友和伙伴就利比亚局势的磋商。
I have also asked Secretary Clinton to travel to Geneva on Monday, where a number of foreign ministers will convene for a session of the Human Rights Council. There she will hold consultations with her counterparts on events throughout the region and continue to ensure that we join with the international community to speak with one voice to the government and the people of Libya. 我还要求国务卿克林顿于周一前往日内瓦，多位外长将在那里参加人权理事会会议。她将在那里就整个地区的事件与各国同行进行磋商，并继续确保我们与国际社会一起向利比亚政府和人民发出一致的声音。
And even as we are focused on the urgent situation in Libya, let me just say that our efforts continue to address the events taking place elsewhere, including how the international community can most effectively support the peaceful transition to democracy in both Tunisia and in Egypt. 即使我们专注于利比亚的紧急局势，我也想说，我们仍在继续关注其他地方发生的事件，包括国际社会如何最有效地支持突尼斯和埃及向民主的和平过渡。
So let me be clear. The change that is taking place across the region is being driven by the people of the region. This change does not represent the work of the United States or any foreign power. It represents the aspirations of people who are seeking a better life. 让我明确一点。正在整个地区发生的变化是由该地区人民推动的。这种变化不代表美国或任何外国势力的作为。它代表着寻求更美好生活的人们的愿望。
As one Libyan said, "We just want to be able to live like human beings." We just want to be able to live like human beings. It is the most basic of aspirations that is driving this change. And throughout this time of transition, the United States will continue to stand up for freedom, stand up for justice, and stand up for the dignity of all people. 正如一位利比亚人所说："我们只想要能够像人一样生活。"我们只想要能够像人一样生活。推动这一变化的是最基本的愿望。在整个过渡时期，美国将继续为自由挺身而出，为正义挺身而出，为所有人的尊严挺身而出。
Thank you very much. 非常感谢大家。
