Alright. Good afternoon, everybody. Today, the United Nations Security Council voted overwhelmingly to sanction Iran for its continued failure to live up to its obligations. This resolution will put in place the toughest sanctions ever faced by the Iranian government, and it sends an unmistakable message about the international community's commitment to stopping the spread of nuclear weapons. 大家好。今天下午，联合国安理会以压倒性多数投票决定对伊朗实施制裁，因其继续未能履行自身义务。这项决议将使伊朗政府面临有史以来最严厉的制裁，并向国际社会发出明确无误的信息，表明国际社会致力于阻止核武器的扩散。
For years, the Iranian government has failed to live up to its obligations under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. It has violated its commitments to the International Atomic Energy Agency. It has ignored U.N. Security Council resolutions. And while Iran's leaders hide behind outlandish rhetoric, their actions have been deeply troubling. Indeed, when I took office just over 16 months ago, Iranian intransigence was well-established. Iran had gone from zero centrifuges spinning to several thousand, and the international community was divided about how to move forward. 多年来，伊朗政府一直未能履行《核不扩散条约》规定的义务。它违反了对国际原子能机构的承诺。它无视联合国安理会的多项决议。当伊朗领导人用荒谬的言辞掩盖自身行为时，他们的所作所为已令人深感不安。事实上，16个多月前我就任总统时，伊朗的顽固立场早已根深蒂固。伊朗的离心机数量已从零发展到数千台在运转，而国际社会在如何推进这一问题上存在分歧。
Yet this day was not inevitable. We made clear from the beginning of my administration that the United States was prepared to pursue diplomatic solutions to address the concerns over Iranian nuclear programs. I extended the offer of engagement on the basis of mutual interest and mutual respect. And together with the United Kingdom, with Russia, China, and Germany, we sat down with our Iranian counterparts. 然而，这一天并非不可避免。我在执政伊始就明确表示，美国准备通过外交途径解决对伊朗核计划的关切。我以共同利益和相互尊重为基础，向伊朗伸出了接触之手。我们与英国、俄罗斯、中国和德国一道，与伊朗代表坐下来谈判。
We offered the opportunity of a better relationship between Iran and the international community -- one that reduced Iran's political isolation, and increased its economic integration with the rest of the world. In short, we offered the Iranian government the prospect of a better future for its people, if -- and only if -- it lives up to its international obligations. 我们为伊朗与国际社会之间提供了改善关系的机会——这种关系能够减少伊朗的政治孤立，并增进其与世界其他地区的经济融合。简言之，我们向伊朗政府提出了一个美好未来的前景，前提是——也仅限于——它履行其国际义务。
So there is no double standard at play here. We've made it clear, time and again, that we respect Iran's right, like all countries, to access peaceful nuclear energy. 因此，这里不存在任何双重标准。我们一再明确表示，我们尊重伊朗与所有国家一样，拥有和平利用核能的权利。
That is a right embedded in the NPT -- a treaty that has to serve as the safeguard against a world in which more nations acquire the world's most deadly weapons, and international law is treated as an empty promise. That NPT treaty was signed by all the parties involved, and it is a treaty that the United States has sought to strengthen from the day I took office, including through our own commitments to reduce America's nuclear arsenal. 这一权利已载入《核不扩散条约》——该条约必须作为一道保障，防止出现更多国家获取世界上最致命武器、国际法沦为空头承诺的世界。该条约由所有相关各方签署，美国从我上任之日起就致力于加强这一条约，包括通过我们自身削减美国核武库的承诺。
So let me repeat: We recognize Iran's rights. But with those rights come responsibilities. And time and again, the Iranian government has failed to meet those responsibilities. 因此，让我重申：我们承认伊朗的权利。但权利伴随着责任。而伊朗政府一再未能履行这些责任。
Iran concealed a nuclear enrichment facility in Qom that raised serious questions about the nature of its program. Iran further violated its own obligations under U.N. Security Council resolutions to suspend uranium enrichment. Instead, they're enriching up to 20 percent. It has failed to comply fully with IAEA's requirements. Indeed, Iran is the only NPT signatory in the world -- the only one -- that cannot convince the IAEA that its nuclear program is intended for peaceful purposes. 伊朗在库姆隐藏了一处核浓缩设施，这引发了对其核计划性质的严重质疑。伊朗还进一步违反了联合国安理会决议所规定的暂停铀浓缩活动的义务。相反，他们正在将铀浓缩至20%。它未能全面遵守国际原子能机构的要求。事实上，伊朗是世界上唯一——唯一一个——无法让国际原子能机构相信其核计划是出于和平目的的《核不扩散条约》缔约国。
That's why the international community was compelled to impose these serious consequences. These are the most comprehensive sanctions that the Iranian government has faced. They will impose restrictions on Iran's nuclear activities, its ballistic missile program, and, for the first time, its conventional military. They will put a new framework in place to stop Iranian smuggling, and crack down on Iranian banks and financial transactions. 正因如此，国际社会不得不对伊朗施加这些严重后果。这是伊朗政府迄今为止面临的最全面的制裁。它们将限制伊朗的核活动、弹道导弹计划，并首次限制其常规军事力量。它们将建立一个新的框架，以阻止伊朗的走私活动，并打击伊朗的银行和金融交易。
They target individuals, entities, and institutions -- including those associated with the Revolutionary Guard -- that have supported Iran's nuclear program and prospered from illicit activities at the expense of the Iranian people. And we will ensure that these sanctions are vigorously enforced, just as we continue to refine and enforce our own sanctions on Iran alongside our friends and our allies. 它们针对支持伊朗核计划、并从损害伊朗人民利益的非法活动中渔利的个人、实体和机构——包括与伊斯兰革命卫队相关的各方。我们将确保这些制裁得到严格执行，正如我们继续与朋友和盟友一道，完善并执行我们自身对伊朗的制裁一样。
The strong resolution that was passed today benefited from strong international support. In voting for it, we were joined by nations from Asia, Africa, Europe, and Latin America -- including Russia and China. And these sanctions show the united view of the international community that a nuclear arms race in the Middle East is in nobody's interest, and that nations must be held accountable for challenging the global non-proliferation regime. 今日通过的这项强有力的决议得益于强有力的国际支持。在投票支持该决议时，与我们站在一起的还有来自亚洲、非洲、欧洲和拉丁美洲的国家——包括俄罗斯和中国。这些制裁表明了国际社会的一致立场：中东地区的核军备竞赛不符合任何人的利益，挑战全球核不扩散体系的国家必须承担责任。
The Iranian government must understand that true security will not come through the pursuit of nuclear weapons. True security will come through adherence to international law and the demonstration of its peaceful intent. 伊朗政府必须明白，真正的安全不会通过追求核武器来实现。真正的安全将来自对国际法的遵守以及对其和平意图的展示。
We know that the Iranian government will not change its behavior overnight, but today's vote demonstrates the growing costs that will come with Iranian intransigence. And I want to be clear: These sanctions do not close the door on diplomacy. Iran continues to have the opportunity to take a different and better path. I would like nothing more than to reach the day when the Iranian government fulfills its international obligations -- a day when these sanctions are lifted, previous sanctions are lifted, and the Iranian people can finally fulfill the greatness of the Iranian nation. 我们深知，伊朗政府不会在一夜之间改变其行为，但今天的投票表明，伊朗的顽固立场将带来日益增加的代价。我也要明确表示：这些制裁并没有关闭外交的大门。伊朗继续有机会走上一条不同且更好的道路。我最大的心愿莫过于迎来伊朗政府履行其国际义务的那一天——届时这些制裁将被解除，此前的制裁也将被解除，伊朗人民最终能够实现伊朗民族的伟大。
Indeed, these sanctions are not directed at the Iranian people. As I said in Cairo, for decades the Iranian government has defined itself in opposition to my country. But faced with the opportunity to find a new way forward -- one that would benefit its own people -- the Iranian government has chosen instead to remain a prisoner of the past. 事实上，这些制裁并非针对伊朗人民。正如我在开罗所说，数十年来伊朗政府一直以与我国对立来定义自身。然而，面对寻找一条新出路的机会——一条将使其人民受益的道路——伊朗政府却选择继续做过去的囚徒。
Saturday will mark one year from the day that an election captivated the attention of the world -- an event that should have been remembered for how the Iranian people participated with remarkable enthusiasm, but will instead be remembered for how the Iranian government brutally suppressed dissent and murdered the innocent, including a young woman left to die in the street. 本周六将是一年前那场选举吸引全世界关注之日的周年纪念——这一事件本应因伊朗人民以非凡热情参与而被人铭记，然而人们将记住的却是伊朗政府如何残酷镇压异见者、屠杀无辜民众，包括一名被遗弃在街头等死的年轻女性。
Actions do have consequences, and today the Iranian government will face some of those consequences. Because whether it is threatening the nuclear non-proliferation regime, or the human rights of its own citizens, or the stability of its own neighbors by supporting terrorism, the Iranian government continues to demonstrate that its own unjust actions are a threat to justice everywhere. 行动确实会带来后果，今天伊朗政府将面临其中一些后果。因为无论是威胁核不扩散体系，还是侵犯本国公民的人权，还是通过支持恐怖主义来破坏邻国的稳定，伊朗政府持续表明，其不义之举是对全球正义的威胁。
I want and hope for the people of Iran that the government of Iran will make a different choice. It can make a different choice and pursue a course that will reaffirm the NPT as the basis of global non-proliferation and disarmament -- a course that will advance Iran's own security and prosperity, and the peace of the wider world. Today's sanctions are yet another signal that if the Iranian government continues to undermine the NPT and the peace that it protects, then Iran will find itself more isolated, less prosperous and less secure. 我希望，也祝愿伊朗人民，伊朗政府会做出不同的选择。它可以做出不同的选择，走上一条重申《核不扩散条约》作为全球核不扩散与裁军基础的道路——一条将增进伊朗自身的安全与繁荣，以及更广阔世界和平的道路。今天的制裁是又一个信号：如果伊朗政府继续破坏《核不扩散条约》及其所保护的和平，那么伊朗将发现自己更加孤立、更不繁荣、更不安全。
Thank you. 谢谢。
