Well, thank you, Leon, and thank you, Jim. 好的，谢谢你，莱昂，也谢谢你，吉姆。
When I chose Leon Panetta as Director of the CIA, I said he was going to be a strong advocate for this agency and would strengthen your capabilities to meet the threats of our time. And when I chose Jim Clapper as Director of National Intelligence, I charged him with making sure that our intelligence community works as one integrated team. That’s exactly what these two leaders have done, along with all of you. 当我选择莱昂·帕内塔担任中央情报局局长时，我说过他将作为这个机构的坚定拥护者，并增强你们应对时代威胁的能力。当我选择吉姆·克拉珀担任国家情报总监时，我责成他确保我们的情报界作为一个整体团队运作。这正是这两位领导人与你们所有人一起做到的。
So, Jim and Leon, thank you for your remarkable leadership, not just in recent weeks, but during the entirety of your tenure. You have done a great job. 所以，吉姆和莱昂，感谢你们出色的领导力，不仅是在最近几周，而是在你们整个任期内。你们做得非常出色。
This is my third visit here to Langley as President, and each of these visits has marked another milestone in our mission to protect the American people and keep our country safe. 这是我作为总统第三次来到兰利，每一次访问都标志着我们保护美国人民、维护国家安全的使命中又一个里程碑。
On my first visit, just months after taking office, I stood here and I said that this agency and our entire intelligence community is fundamental to America’s national security. I said that I believed that your best days were still to come and I pledged that you would have my full support to carry out your critical work. 在我第一次访问时，上任仅几个月，我站在这里说过，这个机构和我们整个情报界对美国国家安全至关重要。我说过我相信你们最美好的日子还在前方，我承诺你们将得到我的全力支持来开展关键工作。
Soon after that visit, I called Leon into the Oval Office and I directed him to make the killing or capture of Osama bin Laden the top priority in our war to defeat al Qaeda. And he came back here, and you guys, who had already been working so hard on this issue, redoubled your efforts. And that was true all across the intelligence community. 那次访问后不久，我把莱昂叫到椭圆形办公室，指示他将击毙或抓捕奥萨马·本·拉登作为我们击败基地组织战争的首要任务。他回到这里后，你们这些已经在这个问题上辛勤工作的人加倍了努力。整个情报界也是如此。
My second visit, a year later, came under more somber circumstances. We gathered to pay tribute to seven American patriots who gave their lives in this fight at a remote post in Afghanistan. As has already been mentioned, their stars now grace this memorial wall. And through our grief and our tears, we resolved that their sacrifice would be our summons to carry on their work, to complete this mission, to win this war. 一年后的第二次访问，是在更为沉痛的背景下进行的。我们聚集在一起，悼念在阿富汗一个偏远哨所献出生命的七位美国爱国者。正如已经提到的，他们的星章如今铭刻在这面纪念墙上。透过悲伤和泪水，我们决心将他们的牺牲化为我们的召唤，继续他们的事业，完成这项使命，赢得这场战争。
Today I’ve returned just to say thank you, on behalf of all Americans and people around the world, because you carried on. You stayed focused on your mission. You honored the memory of your fallen colleagues. And in helping to locate and take down Osama bin Laden, you made it possible for us to achieve the most significant victory yet in our war to defeat al Qaeda. 今天我回来只是为了说一声谢谢，代表全体美国人和全世界人民，因为你们坚持了下来。你们始终专注于使命。你们铭记了牺牲同事的精神。在帮助定位和击毙奥萨马·本·拉登的过程中，你们使我们得以取得击败基地组织战争中最重大的胜利。
I just met with some of the outstanding leaders and teams from across the community who worked so long and so hard to make that raid a success. And I’m pleased today that we’re joined by representatives from all of our intelligence agencies, and that folks are watching this live back at all of those agencies, because this truly was a team effort. That’s not always the case in Washington. But all of you work together every single day. 我刚刚会见了来自整个情报界的一些杰出领导人和团队，他们长期以来辛勤工作，使那次突袭取得成功。今天我很高兴，我们情报界所有机构的代表都到场了，各机构的人员也在实时观看，因为这确实是一项团队努力。在华盛顿，情况并非总是如此。但你们所有人每天都在协同工作。
This is one of the few times when all these leaders and organizations have the occasion to appear together publicly. And so I thank all of you for coming -- because I think it’s so important for the American people to see all of you here today. 这是少数几次所有这些领导人和机构有机会公开一起露面的场合之一。因此我感谢大家前来——因为我认为让美国人民看到你们所有人今天在这里非常重要。
Part of the challenge of intelligence work is, by necessity, your work has to remain secret. I know that carries a heavy burden. You’re often the first ones to get the blame when things go wrong, and you’re always the last ones to get the credit when things go right. So when things do go right -- and they do more often than the world will ever know -- we ought to celebrate your success. 情报工作的挑战之一在于，出于必要，你们的工作必须保密。我知道这承载着沉重的负担。当事情出了差错时，你们往往是最先被指责的；当事情顺利时，你们总是最后被赞扬的。所以当事情确实顺利时——而且比世界所知的更频繁——我们应当庆祝你们的成功。
That’s why I came here. I wanted every single one of you to know, whether you work at the CIA or across the community, at every step of our effort to take out bin Laden, the work you did and the quality of the intelligence that you provided made the critical difference -- to me, to our team on those helicopters, to our nation. 这就是我来到这里的原因。我希望你们每一个人都知道，无论你在中央情报局还是整个情报界工作，在我们击毙本·拉登的努力中，每一步你们所做的工作和所提供情报的质量都起到了关键作用——对我、对直升机上的队友、对我们的国家而言。
After I directed that getting bin Laden be the priority, you hunkered down even more, building on years of painstaking work; pulling together, in some cases, the slenderest of intelligence streams, running those threads to ground until you found that courier and you tracked him to that compound. And when I was briefed last summer, you had built the strongest intelligence case against -- in terms of where bin Laden was since Tora Bora. 在我指示将找到本·拉登作为首要任务后，你们更加埋头苦干，在多年艰辛工作的基础上；汇集了即便是最微弱的情报线索，追根究底，直到你们找到那名信使并追踪他到那座建筑群。去年夏天我听取汇报时，你们已经构建了自托拉博拉以来关于本·拉登下落的最强有力的情报证据。
In the months that followed, including all those meetings in the Situation Room, we did what sound intelligence demands: We pushed for more collection. We pushed for more evidence. We questioned our assumptions. You strengthened your analysis. You didn’t bite your tongue and try to spin the ball, but you gave it to me straight each and every time. 在随后的几个月里，包括在形势分析室的所有那些会议中，我们做了可靠的情报所要求的：我们推动收集更多情报。我们推动寻找更多证据。我们质疑了我们的假设。你们加强了分析。你们没有保持沉默或试图回避问题，而是每一次都如实向我汇报。
And we did something really remarkable in Washington -- we kept it a secret. That’s how it should be. 我们在华盛顿做了一件了不起的事——我们保守了秘密。就应该是这样。
Of course, when the time came to actually make the decision, we didn’t know for sure that bin Laden was there. The evidence was circumstantial and the risks, especially to the lives of our special operations forces, were huge. And I knew that the consequences of failure could be enormous. But I made the decision that I did because I had absolute confidence in the skill of our military personnel and I had confidence in you. I put my bet on you. And now the whole world knows that that faith in you was justified. 当然，当真正需要做决定的时候，我们并不确定本·拉登就在那里。证据是间接的，风险尤其是对我们特种作战部队生命的风险是巨大的。我知道失败的后果可能是灾难性的。但我做出了那样的决定，因为我对我们军事人员的技能有绝对的信心，我也对你们有信心。我把赌注押在了你们身上。现在全世界都知道对你们的信心是理所应当的。
So just as impressive as what you did was how you did it. It was a tribute to your perseverance, your relentless focus and determination over many years. For the fight against al Qaeda did not begin on 9/11. Among you are veterans who’ve been pursuing these murderers for many years, even before they attacked our embassies in Africa and struck the [USS] Cole in Yemen. 与你们的成就同样令人钦佩的是你们的方式。这是对你们多年来的毅力、不懈专注和决心的赞颂。因为与基地组织的斗争并非始于9/11。你们当中有追捕这些凶手多年的老兵，甚至在他们袭击我们在非洲的大使馆和轰炸也门的科尔号军舰之前。
Among you are young men and women for whom 9/11 was a call to service. This fight has defined your generation. And on this wall are stars honoring all your colleagues and friends, more than a dozen who have given their lives in the fight against al Qaeda and its violent allies. 你们当中也有将9/11视为服役召唤的年轻男女。这场战斗定义了你们这一代人。在这面墙上，星星纪念着你们所有的同事和朋友，其中十多人在与基地组织及其暴力同伙的战斗中献出了生命。
As the years wore on, others began to think that this terrorist might never be brought to justice. But you never quit. You never gave up. You pulled together across this agency and across the community. 随着年复一年地流逝，其他人开始认为这个恐怖分子可能永远无法被绳之以法。但你们从未放弃。你们从未退缩。你们在这个机构和整个情报界团结在一起。
No one piece of information and no one agency made this possible. You did it together -- CIA, National Security Agency, National Reconnaissance Office, the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency, everyone at ODNI and the National Counterterrorism Center. Folks across the country, civilian and military, so many of you here today. 没有任何单一情报或任何单一机构使之成为可能。你们共同做到了——中央情报局、国家安全局、国家侦察局、国家地理空间情报局、国家情报总监办公室和国家反恐中心的每一个人。全国各地的同事们，文职人员和军方人员，你们很多人今天都在这里。
And that’s exactly how our intelligence community is supposed to work, using every capability -- human, technical -- collecting, analyzing, sharing, integrating intelligence, and then acting on it. 这正是我们的情报界应有的运作方式，运用一切能力——人力和技术——收集、分析、共享、整合情报，然后付诸行动。
That’s what made this one of the greatest intelligence successes in American history, and that’s why intelligence professionals are going to study and be inspired by your achievement for generations to come. 这就是为什么这次行动成为美国情报史上最伟大的成功之一，也正因如此，情报专业人员将在未来世代研究和汲取你们成就的灵感。
Now, make no mistake -- this is not over. Because we not only took out the symbol and operational leader of al Qaeda, we walked off with his files -- the largest treasure trove of intelligence ever seized from a terrorist leader. Many of you now are working around the clock; you didn’t have much time to celebrate. We’ve got to analyze and evaluate and exploit this mountain of intelligence. 现在，不要弄错——这还没有结束。因为我们不仅消灭了基地组织的象征和行动领导人，还带走了他的文件——有史以来从一个恐怖领导人手中缴获的最大情报宝库。你们很多人现在正在日夜不停地工作；你们没有太多时间庆祝。我们必须分析、评估和利用这座情报宝藏。
So today, every terrorist in the al Qaeda network should be watching their back, because we’re going to review every video, we are going to examine every photo, we’re going to read every one of those millions of pages, we’re going to pursue every lead. We are going to go wherever it takes us. We’re going to finish the job. We are going to defeat al Qaeda. 所以今天，基地组织网络中的每一个恐怖分子都应该警惕身后，因为我们将审查每一段视频，检查每一张照片，阅读那数百万页中的每一页，追踪每一条线索。我们将追查到任何地方。我们将完成任务。我们将击败基地组织。
Even as we stay focused on this mission, we need you to stay nimble and flexible to meet the full range of threats to our security, from plots against our homeland to nations seeking weapons of mass destruction to transnational threats such as cyber criminals and narco-trafficers. 即使在我们专注于此项使命的同时，我们需要你们保持敏捷灵活，以应对威胁我们安全的全方位挑战，从针对国土的阴谋到寻求大规模杀伤性武器的国家，再到网络罪犯和贩毒集团等跨国威胁。
So I’m going to keep relying on you -- for your intelligence, the analysis that comes across my desk every single day. And 300-plus [million] Americans are counting on you to stay a step ahead of our adversaries and to keep our country safe. 所以我将继续依赖你们——依赖你们的情报，依赖每天送到我案头的分析报告。三亿多美国人民指望你们领先于对手一步，保障我们国家的安全。
I have never been more proud or more confident in you than I am today -- not just because this extraordinary success, but because it reminds us of who we are as a people and as a nation. You reminded us that when we Americans set our mind to something, when we are focused and when we are working together, when we’re not worried about who’s getting the credit and when we stay true to our values, even if it takes years, there is nothing we cannot do. 我从未像今天这样为你们感到骄傲或对你们充满信心——不仅因为这一非凡的成功，更因为它提醒了我们作为人民和国家的本质。你们提醒了我们，当美国人下定决心做一件事，当我们专注且共同努力，当我们不计较谁在领功，当我们忠于自己的价值观，即便需要数年时间，没有什么我们做不到。
That’s why I still believe in what I said my first visit here two years ago: Your greatest days are still to come. And if any of you doubt what this means, I wish I could have taken some of you on the trip I made to New York City, where we laid a wreath at Ground Zero, and I had a chance to meet firefighters who had lost an entire shift; police officers who had lost their comrades; a young woman, 14 years old, who had written to me because her last memory of her father was talking to him on the phone while her mother wept beside her, right before they watched the tower go down. 这就是为什么我仍然相信两年前第一次来这里时说过的话：你们最辉煌的日子还在前方。如果你们中有人怀疑这意味着什么，我真希望带你们一起参加我去纽约市的行程，在世贸中心遗址我们敬献了花圈，我有机会见到失去整个一个班次的消防员；失去战友的警官；一个14岁的年轻女子，她写信给我，因为她对父亲最后的记忆是在电话里和他说话，母亲在一旁哭泣，然后他们看着大楼倒塌。
And she and other members of families of 9/11 victims talked about what this meant. It meant that their suffering had not been forgotten, and that the American community stands with them, that we stand with each other. 她和其他9/11遇难者家属谈到了这意味着什么。这意味着他们的苦难没有被遗忘，美国社会与他们站在一起，我们彼此并肩。
So most of you will never get headlines for the work that you do. You won’t get ticker-tape parades. But as you go about your work with incredible diligence and dedication every single day, I hope all of you understand how important it is, how grateful I am, and that you have the thanks of a grateful nation. 因此你们大多数人永远不会因为你们所做的工作登上头条。你们不会有抛投纸带的游行。但当你们每一天以难以置信的勤勉和奉献精神开展工作之际，我希望你们所有人都明白这有多重要，我有多么感激，以及你们拥有一个感恩国家的谢意。
God bless you. 愿上帝保佑你们。
And God bless the United States of America. 愿上帝保佑美利坚合众国。
Thank you. 谢谢。
