Good morning. Scripture tells us, "Let not steadfast love and faithfulness forsake you…write them on the tablet of your heart." 早上好。《圣经》告诉我们："不可使慈爱和诚实离开你……系在你颈项上，刻在你心版上。"
Secretary Carter, Chairman Dunford, outstanding members of our Armed Forces, and most of all, survivors of that September day and the families of those we lost -- it is a great honor, once again, to be with you on this day, a day that I know is still difficult, but which reveals the love and faithfulness in your hearts and in the heart of our nation. 卡特部长、邓福德主席、杰出的三军将士们，最重要的是——那个九月的幸存者们以及遇难者家属们——我深感荣幸，能再次在这一天与你们同在。我知道这一天依然沉重，但它也彰显了你们心中、以及我们国家心中的爱与忠贞。
We remember, and we will never forget, the nearly 3,000 beautiful lives taken from us so cruelly -- including 184 men, women and children here, the youngest just three years old. We honor the courage of those who put themselves in harm's way to save people they never knew. We come together in prayer and in gratitude for the strength that has fortified us across these 15 years. And we renew the love and the faith that binds us together as one American family. 我们铭记，并且永远不会忘记，被残酷夺走的近三千个美好生命——包括这里的一百八十四名男女老少，其中最小的年仅三岁。我们向那些挺身而出、冒着生命危险拯救素不相识之人的勇气致敬。我们在祈祷与感恩中相聚，感谢十五年来支撑我们走下去的力量。我们重申那份将我们作为一个美利坚大家庭凝聚在一起的爱与信念。
Fifteen years may seem like a long time, but for the families who lost a piece of their heart that day, I imagine it can seem like just yesterday. Perhaps it's the memory of a last kiss given to a spouse, or the last goodbye to a mother or father, a sister or a brother. We wonder how their lives might have unfolded, how their dreams might have taken shape. And I am mindful that no words we offer, or deeds we do, can ever truly erase the pain of their absence. 十五年似乎很漫长，但对于那一天失去了心中至爱的家庭而言，我想一切仿佛就发生在昨天。也许是临别时给配偶的最后一个吻，或是与父母、兄弟姐妹的最后一声道别。我们不禁遐想，他们的人生本会如何展开，他们的梦想本会如何实现。我深知，无论我们说什么、做什么，都无法真正抹去他们离去的痛苦。
And yet, you -- the survivors and families of 9/11 -- your "steadfast love and faithfulness" has been an inspiration to me and to our entire country. Even as you've mourned, you've summoned the strength to carry on. In the names of those you've lost, you've started scholarships and volunteered in your communities, and done your best to be a good neighbor and a good friend and a good citizen. And in your grief and grace, you have reminded us that, together, there's nothing we Americans cannot overcome. 然而，你们——9·11的幸存者和家属们——你们的"慈爱与忠贞"一直激励着我，也激励着整个国家。即使在哀悼之中，你们也鼓起了继续前行的力量。你们以逝者之名设立奖学金、在社区中志愿服务，努力做一个好邻居、好朋友、好公民。在你们的悲痛与优雅中，你们提醒着我们：只要团结一心，我们美国人就没有克服不了的困难。
The question before us, as always, is: How do we preserve the legacy of those we lost? How do we live up to their example? And how do we keep their spirit alive in our own hearts? 一如既往，摆在我们面前的问题是：我们如何守护逝者的精神遗产？我们如何不辜负他们的榜样？我们如何让他们的精神在我们心中长存？
Well, we have seen the answer in a generation of Americans -- our men and women in uniform, diplomats, intelligence, homeland security and law enforcement professionals -- all who have stepped forward to serve and who have risked and given their lives to help keep us safe. Thanks to their extraordinary service, we've dealt devastating blows to al Qaeda. 答案，我们已在一代美国人身上看到——我们的军人、外交官、情报人员、国土安全官员和执法专业人员——他们挺身而出为国效力，冒着生命危险甚至献出生命来保卫我们的安全。正因他们非凡的奉献，我们已对基地组织予以毁灭性打击。
We've delivered justice to Osama bin Laden. We've strengthened our homeland security. We've prevented attacks. We've saved lives. We resolve to continue doing everything in our power to protect this country that we love. And today, we once again pay tribute to these patriots, both military and civilian, who serve in our name, including those far away from home in Afghanistan and Iraq. 我们将奥萨马·本·拉登绳之以法。我们加强了国土安全。我们阻止了袭击。我们挽救了生命。我们决心继续尽一切努力保护我们热爱的这个国家。今天，我们再次向这些以我们之名服役的爱国者致敬，包括军人与平民，包括那些远在阿富汗和伊拉克的将士们。
Perhaps most of all, we stay true to the spirit of this day by defending not only our country, but also our ideals. Fifteen years into this fight, the threat has evolved. With our stronger defenses, terrorists often attempt attacks on a smaller, but still deadly, scale. Hateful ideologies urge people in their own country to commit unspeakable violence. We've mourned the loss of innocents from Boston to San Bernardino to Orlando. 也许最重要的是，我们不仅通过保卫国家，更通过坚守我们的理想，来铭记这一天的精神。这场斗争已进入第十五年，威胁的形式已经演变。随着我们防御的加强，恐怖分子常常试图发动规模更小但依然致命的袭击。仇恨意识形态煽动其国内民众犯下令人发指的暴力。从波士顿到圣贝纳迪诺再到奥兰多，我们为无辜者的逝去而哀悼。
Groups like al Qaeda, like ISIL, know that they will never be able to defeat a nation as great and as strong as America. So, instead, they've tried to terrorize in the hopes that they can stoke enough fear that we turn on each other and that we change who we are or how we live. And that's why it is so important today that we reaffirm our character as a nation -- a people drawn from every corner of the world, every color, every religion, every background -- bound by a creed as old as our founding, e pluribus unum. Out of many, we are one. 像基地组织、伊斯兰国这样的组织知道，他们永远无法击败像美国这样伟大而强大的国家。因此，他们转而试图制造恐怖，希望能激起足够的恐惧，让我们内部分裂，让我们改变自己的本质和生活方式。正因如此，今天我们重申我们作为一个国家的品格，是如此重要——我们的人民来自世界各个角落，各种肤色，各种宗教，各种背景——被一条与建国同样古老的信条所联结：合众为一。从众人中，我们合而为一。
For we know that our diversity -- our patchwork heritage -- is not a weakness; it is still, and always will be, one of our greatest strengths. This is the America that was attacked that September morning. This is the America that we must remain true to. 因为我们知道，我们的多元性——我们拼凑而成的传统——并非弱点；它现在是，而且永远将是我们最伟大的力量之一。这就是那个九月早晨遭受袭击的美国。这就是我们必须坚守本色的美国。
Across our country today, Americans are coming together in service and remembrance. We run our fingers over the names in memorial benches here at the Pentagon. We walk the hallowed grounds of a Pennsylvania field. We look up at a gleaming tower that pierces the New York City skyline. But in the end, the most enduring memorial to those we lost is ensuring the America that we continue to be -- that we stay true to ourselves, that we stay true to what's best in us, that we do not let others divide us. 今天，在全国各地，美国人正以服务与缅怀相聚。我们用手指拂过五角大楼纪念长椅上的名字。我们走在宾夕法尼亚那片神圣的土地上。我们仰望刺破纽约天际线的熠熠生辉的新塔。但最终，献给逝者最持久的纪念，是确保我们所延续的那个美国——坚守自我，坚守我们内心最美好的东西，不让任何人将我们分裂。
As I mark this solemn day with you for the last time as President, I think of Americans whose stories I've been humbled to know these past eight years -- Americans who, I believe, embody the true spirit of 9/11. 这是我作为总统最后一次与你们一同纪念这个庄严的日子，我想起了过去八年来我有幸结识的那些美国人——我相信，他们体现了9·11的真正精神。
It's the courage of Welles Crowther, just 24 years old, in the South tower -- the man in the red bandana who spent his final moments helping strangers to safety before the towers fell. It's the resilience of the firehouse on Eighth Avenue -- patriots who lost more than a dozen men, but who still suit up every day as the "Pride of Midtown." It's the love of a daughter -- Payton Wall of New Jersey -- whose father, in his last moments on the phone from the towers, told her, "I will always be watching over you." 那是威尔斯·克劳瑟的勇气，年仅二十四岁，在南塔中——那个戴着红头巾的年轻人，在塔楼倒塌前用生命的最后一刻帮助陌生人脱险。那是第八大道消防站的坚韧——这些爱国者失去了十几名战友，却依然每天整装出发，被誉为"中城之骄"。那是一个女儿的爱——新泽西州的佩顿·沃尔，她的父亲在塔楼里打来的最后电话中告诉她："我会永远守护着你。"
It's the resolve of those Navy SEALS who made sure justice was finally done, who served as we must live as a nation -- getting each other's backs, looking out for each other, united, one mission, one team. It's the ultimate sacrifice of men and women who rest for eternity not far from here, in gentle green hills in perfect formation -- Americans who gave their lives in faraway places so that we can be here today, strong and free and proud. 那是那些海军海豹突击队员的决心，他们确保了正义最终得到伸张，他们的服役方式正是我们作为国家应有的生活方式——互相扶持，彼此照应，团结一心，同一个使命，同一个团队。那是那些安息在不远处、长眠于青翠山峦整齐阵列中的男女军人的终极牺牲——他们在遥远的他乡献出生命，让我们今天能在这里，强大、自由而自豪。
It's all of us -- every American who gets up each day, and lives our lives, carries on. Because as Americans, we do not give in to fear. We will preserve our freedoms and the way of life that makes us a beacon to the world. 那是我们所有人——每一个每天起床、生活、继续前行的美国人。因为作为美国人，我们绝不屈服于恐惧。我们将捍卫我们的自由和生活方式，正是这一切让我们成为世界的灯塔。
"Let not steadfast love and faithfulness forsake you…write them on the tablet of your heart." And how we conduct ourselves as individuals and as a nation, we have the opportunity each and every day to live up to the sacrifice of those heroes that we lost. May God bless the memory of the loved ones here and across the country. They remain in our hearts today. "不可使慈爱和诚实离开你……刻在你心版上。"而我们作为个人、作为国家的行事方式，让我们每一天都有机会不辜负那些逝去英雄的牺牲。愿上帝保佑这里及全国各地逝者的记忆。他们今天仍在我们心中。
May He watch over these faithful families and all who protect us. 愿他看顾这些坚贞的家庭和所有保护我们的人。
And may God forever bless the United States of America. 愿上帝永远保佑美利坚合众国。
