I like this. Thank you. Thank you. 我喜欢这个。谢谢。谢谢。
I think Congress needs one of those horns. 我觉得国会也需要那样的号角。
That sounds pretty good. Sounds like Louis Armstrong back there. 听起来不错。有点像路易斯·阿姆斯特朗的风格。
Good afternoon, everybody. It is a great honor for me to be in Accra and to speak to the representatives of the people of Ghana. I am deeply grateful for the welcome that I've received, as are Michelle and Malia and Sasha Obama. Ghana's history is rich, the ties between our two countries are strong, and I am proud that this is my first visit to sub-Saharan Africa as President of the United States of America. 大家下午好。很荣幸来到阿克拉，向加纳人民的代表们发表讲话。我和米歇尔、玛丽亚、萨沙·奥巴马一起，对所受到的欢迎深表感谢。加纳历史悠久，我们两国之间的关系牢固，我很自豪这是我作为美国总统首次访问撒哈拉以南非洲。
I want to thank Madam Speaker and all the members of the House of Representatives for hosting us today. I want to thank President Mills for his outstanding leadership. To the former Presidents -- Jerry Rawlings, former President Kufuor -- Vice President, Chief Justice -- thanks to all of you for your extraordinary hospitality and the wonderful institutions that you've built here in Ghana. 我感谢议长女士和众议院所有成员今天的接待。我感谢米尔斯总统的杰出领导。感谢前总统们——杰瑞·罗林斯、前总统库福尔——副总统、首席大法官——感谢大家的非凡款待，以及你们在加纳建立的美好 institutions。
I'm speaking to you at the end of a long trip. I began in Russia for a summit between two great powers. I traveled to Italy for a meeting of the world's leading economies. And I've come here to Ghana for a simple reason: The 21st century will be shaped by what happens not just in Rome or Moscow or Washington, but by what happens in Accra, as well. 我是在一次长途旅行结束时来到这里的。我先在俄罗斯参加了两个大国之间的峰会，然后去意大利参加了世界主要经济体的会议。我来到加纳只有一个简单的原因：21世纪的格局不仅将由罗马、莫斯科或华盛顿塑造，也将由阿克拉塑造。
This is the simple truth of a time when the boundaries between people are overwhelmed by our connections. Your prosperity can expand America's prosperity. Your health and security can contribute to the world's health and security. And the strength of your democracy can help advance human rights for people everywhere. 在这个人民之间的联系超越边界的时代，这是一个简单的真理。你们的繁荣可以促进美国的繁荣。你们的健康与安全可以为世界的健康与安全做出贡献。你们民主的力量可以帮助推动各地人民的人权。
So I do not see the countries and peoples of Africa as a world apart; I see Africa as a fundamental part of our interconnected world -- as partners with America on behalf of the future we want for all of our children. That partnership must be grounded in mutual responsibility and mutual respect. And that is what I want to speak with you about today. 因此，我不把非洲的国家和人民视为一个独立的世界；我将非洲视为我们相互联系的世界的一个基本部分——作为代表我们所有儿童未来的美国伙伴。这种伙伴关系必须建立在相互责任和相互尊重的基础上。这就是我今天要和你们谈的。
We must start from the simple premise that Africa's future is up to Africans. 我们必须从一个简单的前提开始：非洲的未来取决于非洲人。
I say this knowing full well the tragic past that has sometimes haunted this part of the world. After all, I have the blood of Africa within me, and my family's -- my family's own story encompasses both the tragedies and triumphs of the larger African story. 我这么说，是因为我完全了解这个世界某些地区有时遭遇的悲剧性过去。毕竟，我体内有非洲人的血统，我家庭的故事——我家庭本身的故事——包含了更大非洲故事的悲剧和胜利。
Some you know my grandfather was a cook for the British in Kenya, and though he was a respected elder in his village, his employers called him "boy" for much of his life. He was on the periphery of Kenya's liberation struggles, but he was still imprisoned briefly during repressive times. In his life, colonialism wasn't simply the creation of unnatural borders or unfair terms of trade -- it was something experienced personally, day after day, year after year. 你们中有些人知道，我的祖父曾在肯尼亚为英国人做厨师，虽然他在村里是一位受人尊敬的长者，但他的雇主在他一生中大部分时间都叫他'男孩'。他在肯尼亚的解放斗争中处于外围，但在镇压时期也曾短暂被监禁。在他的生活中，殖民主义不仅仅是创建了不自然的边界或不公平的贸易条件——它是日复一日、年复一年亲身经历的。
My father grew up herding goats in a tiny village, an impossible distance away from the American universities where he would come to get an education. He came of age at a moment of extraordinary promise for Africa. The struggles of his own father's generation were giving birth to new nations, beginning right here in Ghana. Africans were educating and asserting themselves in new ways, and history was on the move. 我的父亲在一个小村庄里放羊，那个村庄距离他后来就读的美国大学有着难以想象的距离。他在非洲一个充满非凡希望的时代长大。他父亲那一代人的斗争正在诞生新的国家，就从加纳这里开始。非洲人正在以新的方式接受教育并维护自己，历史正在前进。
But despite the progress that has been made -- and there has been considerable progress in many parts of Africa -- we also know that much of that promise has yet to be fulfilled. Countries like Kenya had a per capita economy larger than South Korea's when I was born. They have badly been outpaced. Disease and conflict have ravaged parts of the African continent. 尽管取得了进展——非洲许多地区已经取得了相当大的进步——但我们也知道，大部分希望尚未实现。像肯尼亚这样的国家，在我出生时人均经济规模比韩国还大。它们已经被远远甩在后面。疾病和冲突蹂躏了非洲大陆的部分地区。
In many places, the hope of my father's generation gave way to cynicism, even despair. Now, it's easy to point fingers and to pin the blame of these problems on others. Yes, a colonial map that made little sense helped to breed conflict. The West has often approached Africa as a patron or a source of resources rather than a partner. But the West is not responsible for the destruction of the Zimbabwean economy over the last decade, or wars in which children are enlisted as combatants. 在许多地方，我父亲那一代人的希望让位于愤世嫉俗，甚至绝望。现在，人们很容易指责他人，把这些问题归咎于别人。是的，一个几乎没有意义的殖民地图助长了冲突。西方常常把非洲当作捐助者或资源来源，而不是伙伴。但西方不对津巴布韦经济在过去十年中的崩溃负责，也不对儿童被招募为战斗人员的战争负责。
In my father's life, it was partly tribalism and patronage and nepotism in an independent Kenya that for a long stretch derailed his career, and we know that this kind of corruption is still a daily fact of life for far too many. 在我父亲的生活中，正是独立肯尼亚的部落主义、庇护主义和裙带关系在很长一段时间内阻碍了他的事业，我们知道这种腐败仍然是太多人每天面临的生活事实。
Now, we know that's also not the whole story. Here in Ghana, you show us a face of Africa that is too often overlooked by a world that sees only tragedy or a need for charity. The people of Ghana have worked hard to put democracy on a firmer footing, with repeated peaceful transfers of power even in the wake of closely contested elections. And by the way, can I say that for that the minority deserves as much credit as the majority. And with improved governance and an emerging civil society, Ghana's economy has shown impressive rates of growth. 现在，我们知道这也不是全部。在加纳这里，你们向我们展示了一个常常被只看到悲剧或慈善需求的世界所忽视的非洲面貌。加纳人民努力将民主建立在更坚实的基础上，即使在激烈争夺的选举之后，也实现了和平的权力交接。顺便说一句，少数派和多数派同样值得称赞。随着治理的改善和民间社会的崛起，加纳经济显示出令人印象深刻的增长率。
This progress may lack the drama of 20th century liberation struggles, but make no mistake: It will ultimately be more significant. For just as it is important to emerge from the control of other nations, it is even more important to build one's own nation. 这种进步可能没有20世纪解放斗争那样戏剧性，但请明确：它最终将更为重要。因为正如摆脱他国控制很重要一样，建设自己的国家更为重要。
So I believe that this moment is just as promising for Ghana and for Africa as the moment when my father came of age and new nations were being born. This is a new moment of great promise. Only this time, we've learned that it will not be giants like Nkrumah and Kenyatta who will determine Africa's future. Instead, it will be you -- the men and women in Ghana's parliament -- the people you represent. It will be the young people brimming with talent and energy and hope who can claim the future that so many in previous generations never realized. 因此，我相信现在对加纳和非洲来说，前景和我父亲成年、新国家诞生时一样充满希望。这是一个充满希望的新时刻。只是这一次，我们已经了解到，决定非洲未来的将不是恩克鲁玛和肯雅塔那样的巨人。相反，将是你们——加纳议会中的男女——你们所代表的人民。将是那些充满才能、活力和希望的年轻人，他们可以争取到前几代人从未实现的未来。
Now, to realize that promise, we must first recognize the fundamental truth that you have given life to in Ghana: Development depends on good governance. That is the ingredient which has been missing in far too many places, for far too long. That's the change that can unlock Africa's potential. And that is a responsibility that can only be met by Africans. 现在，要实现这一希望，我们必须首先承认你们在加纳赋予生命的一个基本真理：发展取决于良好的治理。这是在太多地方、太长时间里缺失的要素。这是可以释放非洲潜力的变革。而这是一项只有非洲人才能承担的责任。
As for America and the West, our commitment must be measured by more than just the dollars we spend. I've pledged substantial increases in our foreign assistance, which is in Africa's interests and America's interests. But the true sign of success is not whether we are a source of perpetual aid that helps people scrape by -- it's whether we are partners in building the capacity for transformational change. 至于美国和西方，我们的承诺必须以我们花费的美元来衡量。我已承诺大幅增加我们的外国援助，这符合非洲的利益，也符合美国的利益。但真正的成功标志不是我们是否成为一个帮助人们勉强度日的永久援助来源——而是我们是否成为建设变革能力的伙伴。
This mutual responsibility must be the foundation of our partnership. And today, I'll focus on four areas that are critical to the future of Africa and the entire developing world: democracy, opportunity, health, and the peaceful resolution of conflict. 这种相互责任必须是我们伙伴关系的基础。今天，我将关注对非洲和整个发展中世界未来至关重要的四个领域：民主、机遇、健康和冲突的和平解决。
First, we must support strong and sustainable democratic governments. 首先，我们必须支持强大而可持续的民主政府。
As I -- As I said in Cairo, each nation gives life to democracy in its own way, and in line with its own traditions. But history offers a clear verdict: Governments that respect the will of their own people, that govern by consent and not coercion, are more -- more prosperous, they are more stable, and more successful than governments that do not. 正如我在开罗所说的，每个国家都以自己的方式、按照自己的传统赋予民主以生命。但历史提供了明确的结论：尊重本国人民意愿、以同意而非胁迫进行统治的政府，比不这样做的政府更繁荣、更稳定、更成功。
This is about more than just holding elections. It's also about what happens between elections. Repression can take many forms, and too many nations, even those that have elections, are plagued by problems that condemn their people to poverty. No country is going to create wealth if its leaders exploit the economy to enrich themselves -- or -- or if police -- if police can be bought off by drug traffickers. No business -- No business wants to invest in a place where the government skims 20 percent off the top -- or the head of the Port Authority is corrupt. 这不仅仅是关于举行选举。还与选举之间发生的事情有关。压迫可以采取多种形式，太多国家即使有选举，也遭受着将人民推向贫困的各种问题。没有哪个国家能在领导人剥削经济中饱私囊的情况下创造财富——或者警察可以被毒贩收买的情况下。没有哪个企业愿意在政府抽调20%的收入、或港务局局长腐败的地方投资。
No person wants to live in a society where the rule of law gives way to the rule of brutality and bribery. That is not democracy, that is tyranny, even if occasionally you sprinkle an election in there. And now is the time for that style of governance to end. 没有任何人愿意生活在一个法治让位于残暴和贿赂的社会里。那不是民主，那是暴政，即使偶尔你会在其中放一个选举。现在是那种治理方式终结的时候了。
In the 21st century, capable, reliable, and transparent institutions are the key to success -- strong parliaments; honest police forces; independent judges; an independent press; a vibrant private sector; a civil society. Those are the things that give life to democracy, because that is what matters in people's everyday lives. 在21世纪，有能力、可靠和透明的机构是成功的关键——强大的议会；诚实的警察部队；独立的法官；独立的新闻界；充满活力的私营部门；民间社会。这些才是赋予民主生命的东西，因为那才是人们日常生活中重要的东西。
Now, time and again, Ghanaians have chosen constitutional rule over autocracy, and shown a democratic spirit that allows the energy of your people to break through. We see that in leaders who accept defeat graciously -- the fact that President Mills' opponents were standing beside him last night to greet me when I came off the plane spoke volumes about Ghana; victors who resist calls to wield power against the opposition in unfair ways. We see that spirit in courageous journalists like Anas Aremeyaw Anas, who risked his life to report the truth. 现在，加纳人一次又一次地选择宪政而非独裁，展现出允许你们人民的能量突破的民主精神。我们从优雅接受失败的领导人身上看到了这一点——米尔斯总统的对手们昨晚站在他旁边迎接我下飞机，这充分说明了加纳；胜利者抵制以不公平方式动用权力对付反对派的呼吁。我们从像阿纳斯·阿雷梅乌·阿纳斯这样冒着生命危险报道真相的勇敢记者身上看到了这一点。
We see it in police like Patience Quaye, who helped prosecute the first human trafficker in Ghana. We see it in the young people who are speaking up against patronage, and participating in the political process. 我们从像耐心·奎耶这样的警察身上看到了这一点，她帮助起诉了加纳的第一个人口贩子。我们从那些反对庇护主义、参与政治进程的年轻人身上看到了这一点。
Across Africa, we've seen countless examples of people taking control of their destiny, and making change from the bottom up. We saw it in Kenya, where civil society and business came together to help stop post-election violence. We saw it in South Africa, where over three-quarters of the country voted in the recent election -- the fourth since the end of Apartheid. We saw it in Zimbabwe, where the Election Support Network braved brutal repression to stand up for the principle that a person's vote is their sacred right. 在整个非洲，我们已经看到无数人民掌控自己命运、自下而上推动变革的例子。我们在肯尼亚看到了这一点，民间社会和商界携手帮助阻止了选举后的暴力。我们在南非看到了这一点，超过四分之三的选民在最近的选举中投票——这是种族隔离制度结束以来的第四次选举。我们在津巴布韦看到了这一点，选举支持网络冒着残酷镇压的风险，坚持一个人的投票是其神圣权利的原则。
Now, make no mistake: History is on the side of these brave Africans, not with those who use coups or change constitutions to stay in power. Africa -- Africa doesn't need strongmen; it needs strong institutions. 现在，请明确：历史站在这些勇敢的非洲人一边，而不是站在那些利用政变或修改宪法来保持权力的人一边。非洲不需要强人；非洲需要强大的机构。
Now, America will not seek to impose any system of government on any other nation. The essential truth of democracy is that each nation determines its own destiny. 现在，美国不会寻求将任何政府制度强加给任何其他国家。民主的本质真理是，每个国家决定自己的命运。
But what America will do is increase assistance for responsible individuals and responsible institutions, with a focus on supporting good governance -- on parliaments, which check abuses of power and ensure that opposition voices are heard; on the rule of law, which ensures the equal administration of justice; on civic participation, so that young people get involved; and on concrete solutions to corruption like forensic accounting and automating services -- strengthening hotlines, protecting whistle-blowers to advance transparency and accountability. 但美国将做的是增加对负责任的个人和机构的援助，重点支持良好治理——支持议会，检查滥用权力并确保反对派的声音被听到；支持法治，确保司法的平等执行；支持公民参与，让年轻人参与进来；并支持反腐败的具体解决方案，如法医会计和服务自动化——加强热线，保护举报人以推进透明度和问责制。
And we provide this support. I have directed my Administration to give greater attention to corruption in our human rights reports. People everywhere should have the right to start a business or get an education without paying a bribe. We have a responsibility to support those who act responsibly and to isolate those who don't, and that is exactly what America will do. 我们提供这种支持。我已指示我的政府在我们的人权报告中更加关注腐败。各地的人民都应该有权在不给贿赂的情况下创业或接受教育。我们有责任支持那些负责任的人，孤立那些不负责任的人，这正是美国会做的。
Now, this leads directly to our second area of partnership: supporting development that provides opportunity for more people. 现在，这直接引出了我们伙伴关系的第二个领域：支持为更多人提供机遇的发展。
With better governance, I have no doubt that Africa holds the promise of a broader base of prosperity. Witness the extraordinary success of Africans in my country, America. They're doing very well. So they've got the talent, they've got the entrepreneurial spirit. The question is, how do we make sure that they're succeeding here in their home countries? The continent is rich in natural resources. And from cell phone entrepreneurs to small farmers, Africans have shown the capacity and commitment to create their own opportunities. But old habits must also be broken. 随着更好的治理，我毫不怀疑非洲拥有更广泛繁荣基础的前景。看看在我的国家美国的非洲人取得的非凡成功。他们做得非常好。所以他们有才能，有创业精神。问题是，我们如何确保他们在自己的祖国也能取得成功。非洲大陆拥有丰富的自然资源。从手机企业家到小农，非洲人已经展现了创造自己机会的能力和承诺。但旧的习惯也必须被打破。
Dependence on commodities -- or a single export -- has a tendency to concentrate wealth in the hands of the few, and leaves people too vulnerable to downturns. 依赖大宗商品——或单一出口——往往会将财富集中在少数人手中，使人们更容易受到经济衰退的影响。
So in Ghana, for instance, oil brings great opportunities, and you have been very responsible in preparing for new revenue. But as so many Ghanaians know, oil cannot simply become the new cocoa. From South Korea to Singapore, history shows that countries thrive when they invest in their people and in their infrastructure; when they promote multiple export industries, develop a skilled workforce, and create space for small and medium-sized businesses that create jobs. 例如在加纳，石油带来了巨大的机会，你们在准备新收入方面一直非常负责任。但正如许多加纳人所知，石油不能简单地成为新的可可。从韩国到新加坡，历史表明，当国家投资于人民和基础设施时；当它们推动多种出口产业，培养熟练劳动力，并为创造就业的中小企业创造空间时，国家就会繁荣。
As Africans reach for this promise, America will be more responsible in extending our hand. By cutting costs that go to Western consultants and administration, we want to put more resources in the hands of those who need it, while training people to do more for themselves. That's why our 3.5 billion dollar food security initiative is focused on new methods and technologies for farmers -- not simply sending American producers or goods to Africa. Aid is not an end in itself. The purpose of foreign assistance must be creating the conditions where it's no longer needed. 随着非洲人努力实现这一希望，美国将在伸出援手方面更加负责任。通过削减西方顾问和管理成本，我们希望将更多资源投入到需要的人手中，同时培训人们自力更生。这就是为什么我们的35亿美元粮食安全倡议专注于为农民提供新方法和技术——而不是简单地将美国生产者或商品送到非洲。援助本身不是目的。对外援助的目的必须是创造援助不再需要的条件。
I want to see Ghanaians not only self-sufficient in food, I want to see you exporting food to other countries and earning money. You can do that. 我希望看到加纳不仅在粮食上自给自足，我还希望看到你们向其他国家出口粮食并赚钱。你们能做到。
Now, America can also do more to promote trade and investment. Wealthy nations must open our doors to goods and services from Africa in a meaningful way. That will be a commitment of my Administration. And where there is good governance, we can broaden prosperity through public-private partnerships that invest in better roads and electricity; capacity-building that trains people to grow a business; financial services that reach not just the cities but also the poor and rural areas. 现在，美国也可以做更多来促进贸易和投资。富裕国家必须向非洲的商品和服务敞开大门。这将是我的政府的一个承诺。在有良好治理的地方，我们可以通过公私合营伙伴关系来扩大繁荣，投资于更好的道路和电力；建设培训人们创业的能力；提供不仅覆盖城市，而且覆盖贫困和农村地区的金融服务。
This is also in our own interests -- for if people are lifted out of poverty and wealth is created in Africa, guess what? New markets will open up for our own goods. So it's good for both. 这也符合我们自己的利益——因为如果人们摆脱了贫困，非洲创造了财富，猜猜看？新市场将为我们自己的商品开放。这对双方都有利。
One area that holds out both undeniable peril and extraordinary promise is energy. Africa gives off less greenhouse gas than any other part of the world, but it is the most threatened by climate change. A warming planet will spread disease, shrink water resources, and deplete crops, creating conditions that produce more famine and more conflict. All of us -- particularly the developed world -- have a responsibility to slow these trends -- through mitigation, and by changing the way that we use energy. But we can also work with Africans to turn this crisis into opportunity. 能源领域是一个既有 undeniable 风险又有非凡前景的领域。非洲的温室气体排放量比世界上任何其他地区都少，但它却最容易受到气候变化的威胁。变暖的星球将传播疾病、缩小水资源、耗尽作物，造成更多饥荒和更多冲突的条件。我们所有人——特别是发达国家——都有责任通过缓解措施和改变我们使用能源的方式来减缓这些趋势。但我们也可以与非洲人合作，将这场危机转化为机遇。
Together, we can partner on behalf of our planet and prosperity, and help countries increase access to power while skipping -- leapfrogging the dirtier phase of development. Think about it: Across Africa, there is bountiful wind and solar power; geothermal energy and biofuels. From the Rift Valley to the North African deserts; from the Western coasts to South Africa's crops -- Africa's boundless natural gifts can generate its own power, while exporting profitable, clean energy abroad. 我们可以代表我们的星球和繁荣进行合作，帮助各国在跳过更脏的发展阶段的同时增加电力供应。想想看：在非洲，有丰富的风能和太阳能；地热能和生物燃料。从东非大裂谷到北非沙漠；从西海岸到南非的作物——非洲的无限自然天赋可以产生自己的电力，同时向国外出口有利可图的清洁能源。
These steps are about more than growth numbers on a balance sheet. They're about whether a young person with an education can get a job that supports a family; a farmer can transfer their goods to market; an entrepreneur with a good idea can start a business. It's about the dignity of work; it's about the opportunity that must exist for Africans in the 21st century. 这些步骤不仅仅是关于资产负债表上的增长数字。它们是关于一个受过教育的年轻人能否找到一份养家的工作；一个农民能否将货物运到市场；一个有好主意的企业家能否创业。这是关于工作的尊严；这是关于非洲人在21世纪必须拥有的机遇。
Just as governance is vital to opportunity, it's also critical to the third area I want to talk about: strengthening public health. 正如治理对机遇至关重要，它对我想谈论的第三个领域也至关重要：加强公共卫生。
In recent years, enormous progress has been made in parts of Africa. Far more people are living productively with HIV/AIDS, and getting the drugs they need. I just saw a wonderful clinic and hospital that is focused particularly on maternal health. But too many still die from diseases that shouldn't kill them. When children are being killed because of a mosquito bite, and mothers are dying in childbirth, then we know that more progress must be made. 近年来，非洲部分地区取得了巨大进展。 Far 更多的人在感染艾滋病毒/艾滋病后 productive 地生活，并获得所需的药物。我刚看到一个专注于母婴健康的出色诊所和医院。但仍有太多人死于本不应该杀死他们的疾病。当儿童因蚊子叮咬而死亡，母亲在分娩时死亡，那么我们知道必须取得更多进展。
Yet because of incentives -- often provided by donor nations -- many African doctors and nurses go overseas, or work for programs that focus on a single disease. And this creates gaps in primary care and basic prevention. Meanwhile, individual Africans also have to make responsible choices that prevent the spread of disease, while promoting public health in their communities and countries. 然而，由于激励措施——通常由捐助国提供——许多非洲医生和护士出国工作，或为专注于单一疾病的项目工作。这造成了初级保健和基本预防的缺口。与此同时，非洲个人也必须做出负责任的选择，预防疾病传播，同时促进他们社区和国家的公共卫生。
So across Africa, we see examples of people tackling these problems. In Nigeria, an Interfaith effort of Christians and Muslims has set an example of cooperation to confront malaria. Here in Ghana and across Africa, we see innovative ideas for filling gaps in care -- for instance, through E-Health initiatives that allow doctors in big cities to support those in small towns. 所以在整个非洲，我们看到了人们解决这些问题的例子。在尼日利亚，基督教和穆斯林的跨信仰努力树立了合作对抗疟疾的榜样。在加纳和整个非洲，我们看到了填补护理缺口的创新想法——例如，通过电子卫生倡议，让大城市的医生支持小城镇的医生。
America will support these efforts through a comprehensive, global health strategy, because in the 21st century, we are called to act by our conscience but also by our common interest, because when a child dies of a preventable disease in Accra, that diminishes us everywhere. And when disease goes unchecked in any corner of the world, we know that it can spread across oceans and continents. 美国将通过一项全面的全球卫生战略支持这些努力，因为在21世纪，我们被良心所召唤，也被我们的共同利益所召唤，因为当一个孩子在阿克拉死于可预防的疾病时，这让我们所有人都 diminished。当疾病在世界任何角落不受控制地传播时，我们知道它可以跨越海洋和大陆传播。
And that's why my Administration has committed 63 billion dollars to meet these challenges -- 63 billion dollars. Building on the strong efforts of President Bush, we will carry forward the fight against HIV/AIDS. We will pursue the goal of ending deaths from malaria and tuberculosis, and we will work to eradicate polio. We will fight -- we will fight neglected tropical disease. And we won't confront illnesses in isolation -- we will invest in public health systems that promote wellness and focus on the health of mothers and children. 这就是为什么我的政府承诺了630亿美元来应对这些挑战——630亿美元。在布什总统的有力努力基础上，我们将继续推进抗击艾滋病毒/艾滋病的斗争。我们将追求终结疟疾和结核病死亡的目标，我们将努力根除小儿麻痹症。我们将抗击被忽视的热带疾病。我们不会孤立地应对疾病——我们将投资于促进健康、关注母婴健康的公共卫生系统。
Now, as we partner on behalf of a healthier future, we must also stop the destruction that comes not from illness, but from human beings -- and so the final area that I will address is conflict. 现在，当我们为更健康的未来合作时，我们也必须停止不是来自疾病，而是来自人类的破坏——所以我将讨论的最后一个领域是冲突。
Let me be clear: Africa is not the crude caricature of a continent at perpetual war. But if we are honest, for far too many Africans, conflict is a part of life, as constant as the sun. There are wars over land and wars over resources. And it is still far too easy for those without conscience to manipulate whole communities into fighting among faiths and tribes. 让我说清楚：非洲不是一个永远处于战争状态的大陆的粗暴漫画。但如果我们诚实的话，对太多非洲人来说，冲突是生活的一部分，就像太阳一样恒久。有争夺土地的战争，有争夺资源的战争。那些没有良心的人仍然太容易操纵整个社区在信仰和部落之间进行斗争。
These conflicts are a millstone around Africa's neck. Now, we all have many identities -- of tribe and ethnicity; of religion and nationality. But defining oneself in opposition to someone who belongs to a different tribe, or who worships a different prophet, has no place in the 21st century. Africa's diversity should be a source of strength, not a cause for division. We are all God's children. We all share common aspirations -- to live in peace and security; to access education and opportunity; to love our families and our communities and our faith. That is our common humanity. 这些冲突是非洲脖子上的磨石。现在，我们都有多种身份——部落的和种族的；宗教的和民族的。但以与属于不同部落或崇拜不同先知的人对立来定义自己，在21世纪没有立足之地。非洲的多样性应该是力量的源泉，而不是分裂的原因。我们都是上帝的孩子。我们都有共同的愿望——在和平与安全中生活；获得教育和机遇；爱我们的家人、社区和信仰。这是我们共同的人性。
That is why we must stand up to inhumanity in our midst. It is never justified -- never justifiable to target innocents in the name of ideology. It is the death sentence of a society to force children to kill in wars. It is the ultimate mark of criminality and cowardice to condemn women to relentless and systemic rape. We must bear witness to the value of every child in Darfur and the dignity of every woman in the Congo. No faith or culture should condone the outrages against them. And all of us must strive for the peace and security necessary for progress. 这就是为什么我们必须挺身而出，反对我们中间的不人道行为。以意识形态的名义针对无辜者永远是不正当的——永远是不正当的。强迫儿童在战争中杀戮是一个社会的死刑判决。将妇女置于无情和系统性的强奸之下是犯罪和怯懦的极端标志。我们必须见证达尔富尔每一个孩子的价值和刚果每一个妇女的尊严。任何信仰或文化都不应宽恕对他们的暴行。我们所有人都必须为进步所需的和平与安全而奋斗。
Africans are standing up for this future. Here, too, in Ghana we are seeing you help point the way forward. Ghanaians should take pride in your contributions to peacekeeping from Congo to Liberia to Lebanon -- and your efforts to resist the scourge of the drug trade. We welcome the steps that are being taken by organizations like the African Union and ECOWAS to better resolve conflicts, to keep the peace, and support those in need. And we encourage the vision of a strong, regional security architecture that can bring effective, transnational forces to bear when needed. 非洲人民正在为这个未来挺身而出。在加纳这里，我们也看到你们帮助指明了前进的道路。加纳人民应该为你们从刚果到利比里亚到黎巴嫩的维和贡献感到自豪——以及你们抵制毒品贸易祸害的努力。我们欢迎非洲联盟和西非国家经济共同体等组织为更好地解决冲突、维护和平和支持有需要的人所采取的步骤。我们鼓励建立强大的区域安全架构的愿景，能够在需要时调动有效的跨国力量。
America has a responsibility to work with you as a partner to advance this vision, not just with words, but with support that strengthens African capacity. When there's a genocide in Darfur or terrorists in Somalia, these are not simply African problems -- they are global security challenges, and they demand a global response. 美国有责任作为合作伙伴与你们合作推进这一愿景，不仅用言语，而且用加强非洲能力的支持。当达尔富尔发生种族灭绝或索马里有恐怖分子时，这些不仅仅是非洲的问题——它们是全球安全挑战，需要全球应对。
And that's why we stand ready to partner through diplomacy and technical assistance and logistical support, and we will stand behind efforts to hold war criminals accountable. And let me be clear: Our Africa Command is focused not on establishing a foothold in the continent, but on confronting these common challenges to advance the security of America, Africa, and the world. 这就是为什么我们随时准备通过外交、技术援助和后勤支持进行合作，我们将支持对战争罪负责人追究责任的努力。让我说清楚：我们的非洲司令部不是为了在非洲建立立足点，而是为了应对这些共同挑战，以推进美国、非洲和世界的安全。
In Moscow, I spoke of the need for an international system where the universal rights of human beings are respected, and violations of those rights are opposed. And that must include a commitment to support those who resolve conflicts peacefully, to sanction and stop those who don't, and to help those who have suffer -- suffered. But ultimately, it will be vibrant democracies like Botswana and Ghana which roll back the causes of conflict and advance the frontiers of peace and prosperity. 在莫斯科，我谈到了一个国际体系的必要性，在这个体系中，人类的普遍权利得到尊重，侵犯这些权利的行为遭到反对。这必须包括承诺支持那些和平解决冲突的人，制裁和阻止那些不这样做的人，并帮助那些遭受苦难的人。但最终，将是博茨瓦纳和加纳这样的充满活力的民主国家推动冲突的根源，推进和平与繁荣的前沿。
As I said earlier, Africa's future is up to Africans. 正如我之前所说，非洲的未来取决于非洲人。
The people of Africa are ready to claim that future. And in my country, African Americans -- including so many recent immigrants -- have thrived in every sector of society. We've done so despite a difficult past, and we've drawn strength from our African heritage. With strong institutions and a strong will, I know that Africans can live their dreams in Nairobi and Lagos, Kigali, Kinshasa, Harare, and right here in Accra. 非洲人民已经准备好宣称那个未来。在我的国家，非洲裔美国人——包括许多最近的移民——在社会的各个领域都取得了成功。我们尽管经历了艰难的过去，仍然做到了这一点，并从我们的非洲遗产中汲取了力量。凭借强大的机构和坚强的意志，我知道非洲人可以在内罗毕、拉各斯、基苏木、金沙萨、哈拉雷以及就在阿克拉这里实现他们的梦想。
You know, 52 years ago, the eyes of the world were on Ghana. And a young preacher named Martin Luther King traveled here, to Accra, to watch the Union Jack come down and the Ghanaian flag go up. This was before the march on Washington or the success of the civil rights movement in my country. Dr. King was asked how he felt while watching the birth of a nation. And he said: "It renews my conviction in the ultimate triumph of justice."1 你们知道，52年前，世界的目光聚焦在加纳。一位名叫马丁·路德·金的年轻传教士来到阿克拉，观看英国国旗降下，加纳国旗升起。这是在华盛顿游行或我国民权运动成功之前。金博士被问及他看着一个国家诞生时的感受。他说：'这让我重新坚信正义的最终胜利。'
Now that triumph must be won once more, and it must be won by you. And I am particularly speaking to the young people all across Africa and right here in Ghana. In places like Ghana, young people make up over half of the population. 现在，那种胜利必须再次赢得，而且必须由你们赢得。我特别对非洲各地的年轻人和加纳这里的年轻人说。在加纳这样的地方，年轻人占总人口的一半以上。
And here is what you must know: The world will be what you make of it. You have the power to hold your leaders accountable, and to build institutions that serve the people. You can serve in your communities, and harness your energy and education to create new wealth and build new connections to the world. You can conquer disease, and end conflicts, and make change from the bottom up. You can do that. Yes you can -- because in this moment, history is on the move. 这就是你们必须知道的：世界将是你们创造的样子。你们有权让你们的领导人负责，建立为人民服务的机构。你们可以在社区中服务，利用你们的能量和教育创造新的财富，与世界建立新的联系。你们可以征服疾病，结束冲突，自下而上推动变革。你们能做到。是的，你们能——因为在这一刻，历史正在前进。
But these things can only be done if all of you take responsibility for your future. And it won't be easy. It will take time and effort. There will be suffering and setbacks. But I can promise you this: America will be with you every step of the way -- as a partner, as a friend. Opportunity won't come from any other place, though. It must come from the decisions that all of you make, the things that you do, the hope that you hold in your heart. 但这些事情只有在你们所有人为自己的未来承担责任时才能做到。这并不容易。这需要时间和努力。会有痛苦和挫折。但我可以向你们承诺：美国将在每一步都与你们同在——作为伙伴，作为朋友。然而，机遇不会从其他地方来。它必须来自你们所有人做出的决定，你们所做的事情，你们心中怀有的希望。
Ghana, freedom is your inheritance. Now, it is your responsibility to build upon freedom's foundation. And if you do, we will look back years from now to places like Accra and say this was the time when the promise was realized; this was the moment when prosperity was forged, when pain was overcome, and a new era of progress began. This can be the time when we witness the triumph of justice once more. Yes we can. 加纳，自由是你们的遗产。现在，你们有责任在自由的基础上建设。如果你们这样做，我们将回顾未来的岁月，回顾阿克拉这样的地方，说这是承诺实现的时刻；这是繁荣铸就的时刻，痛苦被克服的时刻，进步的新时代开始的时刻。这可以成为我们再次见证正义胜利的时刻。是的，我们能。
Thank you very much. God bless you. 非常感谢你们。上帝保佑你们。
Thank you. 谢谢。
