Thank you so much. Thank you so much, Neha, for what a wonderful introduction. Everybody, please have a seat. Nothing fills me with more hope than when I hear incredible young people like Neha and all the outstanding work that she's doing on behalf of India's youth and for representing this nation's energy and its optimism and its idealism. She makes me very, very proud. And I'm sure -- I think they may be her -- is that somebody related to you? Okay. Because we just had a chance to meet, and she's beaming with pride right now sitting next to you. Give Neha a big round of applause once again. 非常感谢。内哈，非常感谢你精彩的介绍。各位请就座。没有什么比听到像内哈这样出色的年轻人，以及她为印度青年所做的杰出工作，更让我充满希望的了——她代表着这个国家的活力、乐观和理想主义。她让我感到非常非常自豪。而且我敢肯定——我想他们可能是她的家人——那是你的亲戚吗？好的。因为我们刚刚有机会见面，她现在坐在你旁边，脸上洋溢着自豪的笑容。让我们再次为内哈热烈鼓掌。
Distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen, to all the students and young people who are here today, to the people of India watching and listening across this vast nation -- I bring the friendship and the greetings of the American people. On behalf of myself and Michelle, thank you so much for welcoming us back to India. Bahoot dhanyavad. 尊敬的各位来宾，女士们，先生们，今天在座的所有学生和年轻人，以及在这个辽阔国度各地观看和聆听的印度人民——我带来了美国人民的友谊和问候。我代表我自己和米歇尔，非常感谢你们再次欢迎我们来到印度。非常感谢。（Bahoot dhanyavad）
It has been a great honor to be the first American President to join you for Republic Day . With the tricolor waving above us, we celebrated the strength of your constitution. We paid tribute to India's fallen heroes. In yesterday's parade, we saw the pride and the diversity of this nation -- including the Dare Devils on their Royal Enfields, which was very impressive. Secret Service does not let me ride motorcycles. Especially not on my head. 作为第一位与你们共度共和国日的美国总统，我感到非常荣幸。在三色旗高高飘扬之下，我们庆祝了你们宪法的力量。我们向印度的阵亡英雄致敬。在昨天的阅兵式上，我们看到了这个国家的自豪与多样性——包括骑着皇家恩菲尔德摩托车的"勇敢魔鬼"表演队，令人印象深刻。特勤局不让我骑摩托车。尤其不让我站在摩托车顶上。
I realize that the sight of an American President as your chief guest on Republic Day would have once seemed unimaginable. But my visit reflects the possibilities of a new moment. As I've said many times, I believe that the relationship between India and the United States can be one of the defining partnerships of this century. When I spoke to your Parliament on my last visit, I laid out my vision for how our two nations can build that partnership. And today, I want to speak directly to you -- the people of India -- about what I believe we can achieve together, and how we can do it. 我知道，一位美国总统作为共和国日的主宾出现在这里，曾经是难以想象的。但我的访问反映了一个新时代的可能性。正如我多次说过的，我相信印度和美国之间的关系可以成为本世纪最具决定性的伙伴关系之一。上次访问时，我在你们的议会发表讲话，阐述了我对两国如何建立这种伙伴关系的愿景。今天，我想直接对你们——印度人民——谈谈我认为我们可以共同实现的目标，以及我们如何实现这些目标。
My commitment to a new chapter between our countries flows from the deep friendship between our people. And Michelle and I have felt it ourselves. I recognized India with the first state visit of my presidency -- where we also danced to some pretty good Bhangra . For the first time, we brought Diwali to the White House. On our last celebration here, we celebrated the Festival of Lights in Mumbai. We danced with some children. Unfortunately, we were not able to schedule any dancing this visit. Senorita, bade-bade deshon mein. You know what I mean. 我对开启两国关系新篇章的承诺，源于两国人民之间深厚的友谊。米歇尔和我亲身体验过这种友谊。我就任总统后的首次国事访问就选择了印度——在那里我们还跟着相当不错的彭格拉（Bhangra）音乐跳了舞。我们首次将排灯节引入白宫。上次在这里庆祝时，我们在孟买庆祝了灯节。我们和一些孩子一起跳舞。不幸的是，这次访问我们没能安排跳舞。小姐，在伟大的国度里（bade-bade deshon mein）。你懂我的意思。
Everybody said, by the way, how much better a dance Michelle was than me -- which hurt my feelings a little bit. 顺便说一句，所有人都说米歇尔跳得比我好太多了——这让我有点小受伤。
On a more personal level, India represents an intersection of two men who have always inspired me. When Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was protesting racial segregation in the United States, he said that his guiding light was Mahatma Gandhi . When Dr. King came to India, he said that being here -- in "Gandhi's land" -- reaffirmed his conviction that in the struggle for justice and human dignity, the most potent weapon of all is non-violent resistance. And those two great souls are why we can gather here together today, Indians and Americans, equal and free. 从更个人的层面来说，印度代表着两位一直激励着我的伟人的交汇点。当马丁·路德·金牧师博士在美国抗议种族隔离时，他说他的指路明灯是圣雄甘地。当金博士来到印度时，他说，身处这片"甘地的土地"，更加坚定了他的信念：在争取正义和人类尊严的斗争中，最有力的武器是非暴力抵抗。正是这两位伟大的灵魂，让我们今天能够相聚在这里——印度人和美国人，平等而自由。
And there is another link that binds us. More than 100 years ago, America welcomed a son of India -- Swami Vivekananda . And Swami Vivekananda, he helped bring Hinduism and yoga to our country. And he came to my hometown of Chicago. And there, at a great gathering of religious leaders, he spoke of his faith and the divinity in every soul, and the purity of love. And he began his speech with a simple greeting: "Sisters and brothers of America." 还有另一条纽带将我们联系在一起。一百多年前，美国迎接了一位印度之子——斯瓦米·维韦卡南达。维韦卡南达将印度教和瑜伽带到了我们的国家。他来到了我的家乡芝加哥。在那里，在一次宗教领袖的盛大集会上，他讲述了自己的信仰、每个灵魂中的神性以及爱的纯粹。他以一句简单的问候开始了他的演讲："美国的兄弟姐妹们。"
So today, let me say: Sisters and brothers of India -- my confidence in what our nations can achieve together is rooted in the values we share. For we may have our different histories and speak different languages, but when we look at each other, we see a reflection of ourselves. 所以今天，请允许我说：印度的兄弟姐妹们——我对我们两国能够共同实现的目标充满信心，这种信心根植于我们共同的价值观。因为我们也许有着不同的历史，说着不同的语言，但当我们看着彼此时，我们看到的是自己的倒影。
Having thrown off colonialism, we created constitutions that began with the same three words -- "We the people." As societies that celebrate knowledge and innovation, we transformed ourselves into high-tech hubs of the global economy. Together, we unlock new discoveries -- from the particles of creation to outer space -- two nations to have gone to both the Moon and to Mars. And here in India, this dynamism has resulted in a stunning achievement. You've lifted countless millions from poverty and built one of the world's largest middle classes. 在摆脱殖民统治后，我们创建了以同样三个词开头的宪法——"我们人民"。作为崇尚知识和创新的社会，我们将自己转变为全球经济的高科技中心。我们共同开启新的发现——从创世粒子到外太空——我们是两个既登上过月球又登陆过火星的国家。而在印度，这种活力已经带来了惊人的成就。你们让无数人摆脱了贫困，建立了世界上最大的中产阶级之一。
And nobody embodies this progress and this sense of possibility more than our young people. Empowered by technology, you are connecting and collaborating like never before -- on Facebook and WhatsApp and Twitter. And chances are, you're talking to someone in America -- your friends, your cousins. The United States has the largest Indian diaspora in the world, including some three million proud Indian-Americans. And they make America stronger, and they tie us together -- bonds of family and friendship that allow us to share in each other's success. 而最能体现这种进步和可能性意识的，莫过于我们的年轻人。在科技的赋能下，你们以前所未有的方式建立联系、开展合作——通过脸书、WhatsApp和推特。很有可能，你正在和美国的某个人聊天——你的朋友，你的表亲。美国拥有世界上最大的印度侨民群体，包括约三百万自豪的印裔美国人。他们让美国变得更强大，也将我们联系在一起——家庭和友谊的纽带让我们能够分享彼此的成功。
For all these reasons, India and the United States are not just natural partners. I believe America can be India's best partner. I believe that. Of course, only Indians can decide India's role in the world. But I'm here because I'm absolutely convinced that both our peoples will have more jobs and opportunity, and our nations will be more secure, and the world will be a safer and a more just place when our two democracies -- the world's largest democracy and the world's oldest democracy -- stand together. I believe that. 基于所有这些原因，印度和美国不仅仅是天然的伙伴。我相信美国可以成为印度最好的伙伴。我坚信这一点。当然，只有印度人才能决定印度在世界上的角色。但我来到这里，是因为我绝对相信，当我们两个民主国家——世界上最大的民主国家和世界上最古老的民主国家——站在一起时，我们两国人民将拥有更多的工作和机会，我们的国家将更加安全，世界将更加安全、更加公正。我坚信这一点。
So here in New Delhi, Prime Minister Modi and I have begun this work anew. And here's what I think we can do together. America wants to be your partner as you lift up the lives of the Indian people and provide greater opportunity. So working together, we're giving farmers new techniques and data -- from our satellites to their cell phones -- to increase yields and boost incomes. We're joining you in your effort to empower every Indian with a bank account. 因此，在新德里，莫迪总理和我已经重新开启了这项工作。以下是我认为我们可以共同做的事情。美国希望成为你们的伙伴，帮助你们改善印度人民的生活，提供更多机会。通过合作，我们为农民提供新技术和数据——从我们的卫星到他们的手机——以提高产量、增加收入。我们正与你们一道，努力让每个印度人都拥有银行账户。
And with the breakthroughs we achieved on this visit, we can finally move toward fully implementing our civil nuclear agreement, which will mean more reliable electricity for Indians and cleaner, non-carbon energy that helps fight climate change. And I don't have to describe for you what more electricity means. Students being able to study at night; businesses being able to stay open longer and hire more workers; farmers being able to use mechanized tools that increase their productivity; whole communities seeing more prosperity. 随着这次访问取得的突破性进展，我们终于可以朝着全面执行我们的民用核协议迈进，这将意味着印度人能获得更可靠的电力，以及更清洁的无碳能源，帮助应对气候变化。我不必向你们描述更多电力意味着什么。学生们可以在夜间学习；企业可以营业更长时间，雇用更多工人；农民可以使用机械化工具提高生产率；整个社区将更加繁荣。
In recent years, India has lifted more people out of poverty than any other country. And now we have a historic opportunity with India leading the way to end the injustice of extreme poverty all around the world. 近年来，印度让更多人摆脱了贫困，超过了其他任何国家。现在，在印度的引领下，我们拥有了一个历史性机遇，可以在全球范围内终结极端贫困的不公。
America wants to be your partner as you protect the health of your people and the beauty of this land, from the backwaters of Kerala to the banks of Ganges. As we deliver more energy, more electricity, let's do it with clean, renewable energy, like solar and wind. And let's put cleaner vehicles on the road and more filtration systems on farms and villages. Because every child should be able to drink clean water, and every child should be able to breathe clean air. We need our young people healthy for their futures. And we can do it. We have the technology to do it. 美国希望成为你们的伙伴，帮助你们保护人民的健康和这片土地的美丽——从喀拉拉邦的回水地带到恒河之滨。在我们提供更多能源、更多电力的同时，让我们利用太阳能、风能等清洁可再生能源。让我们让道路上有更多清洁车辆，让农场和村庄有更多过滤系统。因为每个孩子都应该能喝上干净的水，每个孩子都应该能呼吸清洁的空气。我们需要年轻人为他们的未来保持健康。我们能够做到。我们拥有这样的技术。
America wants to be your partner in igniting the next wave of Indian growth. As India pursues more trade and investment, we want to be first in line. We're ready to join you in building new infrastructure -- the roads and the airports, the ports, the bullet trains to propel India into the future. We're ready to help design "smart cities" that serve citizens better, and we want to develop more advanced technologies with India, as we do with our closest allies. 美国希望成为你们的伙伴，共同点燃印度下一轮增长的浪潮。随着印度寻求更多贸易和投资，我们希望成为第一梯队。我们已准备好与你们一道建设新的基础设施——公路、机场、港口、子弹头列车，推动印度迈向未来。我们已准备好帮助设计更好地服务市民的"智慧城市"，我们希望与印度共同开发更先进的技术，就像我们与最亲密的盟友所做的那样。
We believe we can be even closer partners in ensuring our mutual security. And both our nations have known the anguish of terrorism, and we stand united in the defense of our people. And now we're deepening our defense cooperation against new challenges. The United States welcomes a greater role for India in the Asia Pacific, where the freedom of navigation must be upheld and disputes must be resolved peacefully. And even as we acknowledge the world as it is, we must never stop working for the world as it should be -- a world without nuclear weapons. That should be a goal for all of us. 我们相信，在确保共同安全方面，我们可以成为更紧密的伙伴。我们两国都经历过恐怖主义的痛苦，我们在保卫人民的斗争中团结一致。现在，我们正在深化防务合作，以应对新的挑战。美国欢迎印度在亚太地区发挥更大作用，在那里，航行自由必须得到维护，争端必须和平解决。即使我们承认世界的现状，我们也绝不能停止为应有的世界而努力——一个没有核武器的世界。这应该是我们所有人的目标。
I believe that if we're going to be true global partners, then our two nations must do more around the world together. So to ensure international security and peace, multilateral institutions created in the 20th century have to be updated for the 21st. And that's why I support a reformed United Nations Security Council that includes India as a permanent member. 我相信，如果我们要成为真正的全球伙伴，那么我们两国必须在全球范围内开展更多合作。因此，为了确保国际安全与和平，20世纪创建的多边机构必须与时俱进。这就是为什么我支持改革联合国安理会，让印度成为常任理事国。
Of course, as I've said before, with power comes responsibility. In this region, India can play a positive role in helping countries forge a better future, from Burma to Sri Lanka, where today there's new hope for democracy. With your experience in elections, you can help other countries with theirs. With your expertise in science and medicine, India can do more around the world to fight disease and develop new vaccines, and help us end the moral outrage of even a single child dying from a preventable disease. 当然，正如我之前所说，权力伴随着责任。在本地区，印度可以发挥积极作用，帮助各国创造更美好的未来，从缅甸到斯里兰卡，这些地方如今都有了民主的新希望。凭借你们在选举方面的经验，你们可以帮助其他国家开展选举。凭借你们在科学和医学方面的专长，印度可以在全球范围内更多地抗击疾病、开发新疫苗，帮助我们终结哪怕有一个孩子死于可预防疾病的道德暴行。
Together, we can stand up against human trafficking and work to end the scourge of modern day slavery. 我们可以共同打击人口贩运，努力消除现代奴隶制的祸害。
And being global partners means confronting the urgent global challenge of climate change. With rising seas, melting Himalayan glaciers, more unpredictable monsoons, cyclones getting stronger -- few countries will be more affected by a warmer planet than India. And the United States recognizes our part in creating this problem, so we're leading the global effort to combat it. And today, I can say that America's carbon pollution is near its lowest level in almost two decades. 而成为全球伙伴，意味着要应对气候变化这一紧迫的全球挑战。随着海平面上升、喜马拉雅冰川融化、季风更加不可预测、气旋愈发强烈——没有几个国家会比印度受到全球变暖的影响更大。美国承认我们在造成这个问题上的责任，因此我们正在领导全球应对气候变化的努力。今天，我可以说，美国的碳污染已接近近二十年来的最低水平。
I know the argument made by some that it's unfair for countries like the United States to ask developing nations and emerging economies like India to reduce your dependence on the same fossil fuels that helped power our growth for more than a century. But here's the truth: Even if countries like the United States curb our emissions, if countries that are growing rapidly like India -- with soaring energy needs -- don't also embrace cleaner fuels, then we don't stand a chance against climate change. 我知道有些人提出的论点，认为像美国这样的国家要求印度等发展中国家和新兴经济体减少对同样推动了我们一个多世纪增长的化石燃料的依赖，这是不公平的。但事实是：即使像美国这样的国家减少了排放，如果像印度这样能源需求激增的快速增长国家不也采用更清洁的燃料，那么我们就没有机会战胜气候变化。
So we welcome India's ambitious targets for generating more clean energy. We'll continue to help India deal with the impacts of climate change -- because you shouldn't have to bear that burden alone. As we keep working for a strong global agreement on climate change, it's young people like you who have to speak up, so we can protect this planet for your generation. I'll be gone when the worst effects happen. It's your generation and your children that are going to be impacted. That's why it's urgent that we begin this work right now. 因此，我们欢迎印度制定的雄心勃勃的清洁能源发电目标。我们将继续帮助印度应对气候变化的影响——因为你们不应该独自承担这一负担。在我们继续努力达成一项强有力的全球气候变化协议的过程中，正是像你们这样的年轻人必须站出来发声，这样我们才能为你们这一代保护这个星球。最严重的影响发生时，我已经不在了。受影响的将是你们这一代人和你们的孩子。这就是为什么我们现在就必须开始这项工作，刻不容缓。
Development that lifts up the lives and health of our people. Trade and economic partnerships that reduce poverty and create opportunity. Leadership in the world that defends our security, and advances human dignity, and protects our planet -- that's what I believe India and America can do together. So with the rest of my time, I want to discuss how we can do it. Because in big and diverse societies like ours, progress ultimately depends on something more basic, and that is how we see each other. And we know from experience what makes nations strong. 发展能够改善人民的生活和健康。贸易和经济伙伴关系能够减少贫困、创造机会。在世界上发挥领导作用，捍卫我们的安全，推进人类尊严，保护我们的地球——这就是我相信印度和美国可以共同做到的事情。因此，在剩下的时间里，我想谈谈我们如何才能做到这一点。因为在像我们这样庞大而多元的社会中，进步最终取决于更基本的东西，那就是我们如何看待彼此。我们从经验中知道是什么让国家强大。
And Neha I think did a great job of describing the essence of what's important here. 内哈，我认为你很好地描述了这里最重要的本质。
We are strongest when we see the inherent dignity in every human being. Look at our countries -- the incredible diversity even here in this hall. India is defined by countless languages and dialects, and every color and caste and creed, gender and orientations. And likewise, in America, we're black and white, and Latino and Asian, and Indian-American, and Native American. Your constitution begins with the pledge to uphold "the dignity of the individual." And our Declaration of Independence proclaims that "all men are created equal." 当我们看到每个人与生俱来的尊严时，我们才是最强大的。看看我们的国家——即使在这个大厅里，多样性也令人惊叹。印度由无数种语言和方言、各种肤色、种姓、信仰、性别和性取向所定义。同样，在美国，我们有黑人、白人、拉丁裔、亚裔、印裔美国人和原住民。你们的宪法以维护"个人尊严"的承诺开篇。而我们的《独立宣言》宣告"人人生而平等"。
In both our countries, generations have worked to live up to these ideals. When he came to India, Martin Luther King, Jr. was introduced to some schoolchildren as a "fellow untouchable." My grandfather was a cook for the British army in Kenya. The distant branches of Michelle's family tree include both slaves and slave owners. When we were born, people who looked like us still couldn't vote in some parts of the country. Even as America has blessed us with extraordinary opportunities, there were moments in my life where I've been treated differently because of the color of my skin. 在我们两国，几代人都在努力践行这些理想。当马丁·路德·金来到印度时，有人向一些学童介绍他是"一位贱民同胞"。我的祖父曾在肯尼亚为英国军队当厨师。米歇尔家族树的远枝上既有奴隶也有奴隶主。我们出生时，在这个国家的一些地方，像我们这样肤色的人仍然没有投票权。即使美国赐予了我们非凡的机遇，在我的人生中，也有过因为肤色而受到不同对待的时刻。
Many countries, including the United States, grapple with questions of identity and inequality, and how we treat each other, people who are different than us, how we deal with diversity of beliefs and of faiths. Right now, in crowded neighborhoods not far from here, a man is driving an auto-rickshaw, or washing somebody else's clothes, or doing the hard work no one else will do. And a woman is cleaning somebody else's house. And a young man is on a bicycle delivering lunch. A little girl is hauling a heavy bucket of water. 许多国家，包括美国，都在努力应对身份认同和不平等的问题，以及我们如何对待与我们不同的人，我们如何处理信仰和宗教的多样性。就在此刻，在离这里不远的拥挤社区里，一个男人正在开三轮车，或者在洗别人的衣服，或者做着没人愿意做的苦工。一个女人正在打扫别人的房子。一个年轻人骑着自行车送午餐。一个小女孩提着沉重的水桶。
And I believe their dreams, their hopes, are just as important, just as beautiful, just as worthy as ours. And so even as we live in a world of terrible inequality, we're also proud to live in countries where even the grandson of a cook can become President, or even a Dalit can help write a constitution, and even a tea seller can become Prime Minister. 我相信他们的梦想、他们的希望，和我们的一样重要，一样美好，一样有价值。因此，即使我们生活在一个极度不平等的世界里，我们也自豪地生活在这样的国家：即使是厨师的孙子也能成为总统，即使是达利特人也能参与制定宪法，即使是茶商也能成为总理。
The point is, is that the aim of our work must be not to just have a few do well, but to have everybody have a chance, everybody who is willing to work for it have the ability to dream big and then reach those dreams. 关键在于，我们工作的目标不应该只是让少数人过得好，而应该让每个人都有机会——每个愿意努力的人都有能力追逐远大的梦想并实现那些梦想。
Our nations are strongest when we uphold the equality of all our people -- and that includes our women. Now, you may have noticed, I'm married to a very strong and talented woman. Michelle is not afraid to speak her mind, or tell me when I'm wrong -- which happens frequently. And we have two beautiful daughters, so I'm surrounded by smart, strong women. And in raising our girls, we've tried to instill in them basic values -- a sense of compassion for others, and respect for themselves, and the confidence that they can go as far as their imaginations and abilities will carry them. 当我们维护全体人民的平等时——包括女性——我们的国家才是最强大的。你们可能已经注意到了，我娶了一位非常坚强、非常有才华的女性。米歇尔不怕说出自己的想法，也不怕告诉我我错了——这种情况经常发生。我们有两个美丽的女儿，所以我被聪明、坚强的女性包围着。在抚养女儿的过程中，我们努力向她们灌输基本的价值观——对他人的同情心、对自己的尊重，以及她们可以凭借想象力和能力走得更远的信心。
And as part of Michelle's work as First Lady, she's met with women and girls around the world, including here in India, to let them know that America believes in them, too. 作为米歇尔第一夫人工作的一部分，她会见了世界各地的妇女和女孩，包括在印度，让她们知道美国也相信她们。
In the United States, we're still working to make sure that women and girls have all the opportunities they deserve, and that they're treated equally. And we have some great role models, including here today the former speaker of our House of Representatives -- Nancy Pelosi -- the first woman speaker of the House, and my great partner. 在美国，我们仍在努力确保妇女和女孩拥有她们应得的所有机会，并得到平等对待。我们有一些伟大的榜样，包括今天在座的众议院前议长南希·佩洛西——第一位女性众议院议长，也是我伟大的合作伙伴。
And here in India, it's the wives and the mothers who so often hold families and communities together. Indian women have shown that they can succeed in every field -- including government, where many of your leaders are women. And the young women who are here today are part of a new generation that is making your voice heard, and standing up and determined to play your part in India's progress. 而在印度，往往是妻子和母亲维系着家庭和社区。印度女性已经证明她们可以在每个领域取得成功——包括政府，你们的许多领导人都是女性。今天在座的年轻女性是新一代的一部分，她们正在发出自己的声音，挺身而出，决心在印度的进步中发挥自己的作用。
And here's what we know. We know from experience that nations are more successful when their women are successful. When girls go to school -- this is one of the most direct measures of whether a nation is going to develop effectively is how it treats its women. When a girl goes to school, it doesn't just open up her young mind, it benefits all of us -- because maybe someday she'll start her own business, or invent a new technology, or cure a disease. And when women are able to work, families are healthier, and communities are wealthier, and entire countries are more prosperous. 我们知道这一点。我们从经验中得知，当女性成功时，国家会更加成功。当女孩能够上学时——这是衡量一个国家能否有效发展的最直接标准之一，就是它如何对待女性。当一个女孩上学时，这不仅仅是开阔了她年轻的心灵，也惠及了我们所有人——因为也许有一天她会创办自己的企业，或者发明一项新技术，或者治愈一种疾病。当女性能够工作时，家庭会更健康，社区会更富裕，整个国家会更繁荣。
And when young women are educated, then their children are going to be well educated and have more opportunity. 当年轻女性受到教育时，她们的孩子也会受到良好的教育，拥有更多的机会。
So if nations really want to succeed in today's global economy, they can't simply ignore the talents of half their people. And as husbands and fathers and brothers, we have to step up -- because every girl's life matters. Every daughter deserves the same chance as our sons. Every woman should be able to go about her day -- to walk the streets or ride the bus -- and be safe, and be treated with respect and dignity. She deserves that. 因此，如果国家真的想在当今全球经济中取得成功，就不能忽视一半人民的才能。作为丈夫、父亲和兄弟，我们必须站出来——因为每个女孩的生命都很重要。每个女儿都应该得到和我们儿子一样的机会。每个女性都应该能够安心度过每一天——走在街上或乘坐公交车——都是安全的，并受到尊重和有尊严的对待。这是她应得的。
And one of the favorite things about this trip for me has been to see all these incredible Indian women in the armed forces, including the person who commanded the Guard that greeted me when I arrived. It's remarkable, and it's a sign of great strength and great progress. 这次访问中我最欣慰的事情之一，就是看到了所有这些了不起的印度女性军人，包括在我抵达时率领仪仗队迎接我的那位指挥官。这是非凡的，这是巨大力量和巨大进步的标志。
Our nations are strongest when we see that we are all God's children -- all equal in His eyes and worthy of His love. Across our two great countries we have Hindus and Muslims, Christians and Sikhs, and Jews and Buddhists and Jains and so many faiths. And we remember the wisdom of Gandhiji, who said, "for me, the different religions are beautiful flowers from the same garden, or they are branches of the same majestic tree." Branches of the same majestic tree. 当我们看到我们都是上帝的儿女——在他眼中人人平等，配得他的爱——时，我们的国家才是最强大的。在我们两个伟大的国家里，有印度教徒、穆斯林、基督徒、锡克教徒，还有犹太教徒、佛教徒、耆那教徒等许许多多的信仰。我们铭记着圣雄甘地的智慧，他说："对我而言，不同的宗教是同一座花园里美丽的花朵，或是同一棵参天大树的枝干。"同一棵参天大树的枝干。
Our freedom of religion is written into our founding documents. It's part of America's very first amendment. Your Article 25 says that all people are "equally entitled to freedom of conscience and the right freely to profess, practice and propagate religion." In both our countries -- in all countries -- upholding this fundamental freedom is the responsibility of government, but it's also the responsibility of every person. 我们的宗教自由被写入了我们的建国文件。这是美国第一修正案的内容。你们的宪法第25条规定，所有人"同样享有良心自由以及自由信仰、践行和传播宗教的权利"。在我们两国——在所有国家——维护这一基本自由是政府的责任，但也是每一个人的责任。
In our lives, Michelle and I have been strengthened by our Christian faith. But there have been times where my faith has been questioned -- by people who don't know me -- or they've said that I adhere to a different religion, as if that were somehow a bad thing. Around the world, we've seen intolerance and violence and terror perpetrated by those who profess to be standing up for their faith, but, in fact, are betraying it. No society is immune from the darkest impulses of man. And too often religion has been used to tap into those darker impulses as opposed to the light of God. 在我们的生活中，我和米歇尔从我们的基督教信仰中获得力量。但曾有几次，我的信仰受到质疑——被那些不了解我的人——或者他们说我信奉另一种宗教，好像那是什么坏事一样。在世界各地，我们看到那些声称捍卫自己信仰的人实施的不容忍、暴力和恐怖行径，但实际上，他们是在背叛信仰。没有哪个社会能对人性最黑暗的冲动免疫。而宗教太多次被用来利用那些更黑暗的冲动，而不是彰显上帝的光明。
Three years ago in our state of Wisconsin, back in the United States, a man went to a Sikh temple and, in a terrible act of violence, killed six innocent people -- Americans and Indians. And in that moment of shared grief, our two countries reaffirmed a basic truth, as we must again today -- that every person has the right to practice their faith how they choose, or to practice no faith at all, and to do so free of persecution and fear and discrimination. 三年前，在我们美国的威斯康星州，一名男子走进一座锡克教寺庙，以可怕的暴力行径杀害了六名无辜的人——有美国人也有印度人。在那个共同悲痛的时刻，我们两国重申了一个基本真理，正如我们今天必须再次重申的那样——每个人都有权按照自己选择的方式践行信仰，或者不信仰任何宗教，并且在这样做时免于迫害、恐惧和歧视。
The peace we seek in the world begins in human hearts. And it finds its glorious expression when we look beyond any differences in religion or tribe, and rejoice in the beauty of every soul. And nowhere is that more important than India. Nowhere is it going to be more necessary for that foundational value to be upheld. India will succeed so long as it is not splintered along the lines of religious faith -- so long as it's not splintered along any lines -- and is unified as one nation. 我们在世界上寻求的和平始于人的内心。当我们超越宗教或部落的任何差异，为每个灵魂的美好而欣喜时，和平便找到了它光辉的表达。没有哪个地方比印度更重要。没有哪个地方比印度更需要维护这一基础性价值观。只要印度不沿着宗教信仰的路线分裂——只要它不沿着任何路线分裂——并作为一个国家团结起来，印度就会成功。
And it's when all Indians, whatever your faith, go to the movies and applaud actors like Shah Rukh Khan . And when you celebrate athletes like Milkha Singh or Mary Kom . And every Indian can take pride in the courage of a humanitarian who liberates boys and girls from forced labor and exploitation -- who is here today -- Kailash Satyarthi . Our most recent winner of the Nobel Prize for Peace. 当所有印度人——无论信仰如何——都去电影院为沙鲁克·汗这样的演员鼓掌时，当你们为米尔哈·辛格或玛丽·科姆这样的运动员欢呼时，每个印度人都可以为一位人道主义者的勇气感到骄傲——他将男孩和女孩从强迫劳动和剥削中解救出来——他今天也在座——凯拉什·萨蒂亚尔蒂，我们最近的诺贝尔和平奖得主。
So that's what unifies us: Do we act with compassion and empathy. Are we measured by our efforts -- by what Dr. King called "the content of our character" rather than the color of our skin or the manner in which we worship our God. In both our countries, in India and in America, our diversity is our strength. And we have to guard against any efforts to divide ourselves along sectarian lines or any other lines. 因此，将我们团结在一起的是：我们是否怀着同情和同理心行事。我们是否以我们的努力来衡量——用金博士所说的"人格的内涵"来衡量，而不是以我们的肤色或我们崇拜上帝的方式来衡量。在我们两国，在印度和美国，我们的多样性就是我们的力量。我们必须警惕任何试图沿着宗派路线或任何其他路线分裂我们的企图。
And if we do that well, if America shows itself as an example of its diversity and yet the capacity to live together and work together in common effort, in common purpose; if India, as massive as it is, with so much diversity, so many differences is able to continually affirm its democracy, that is an example for every other country on Earth. That's what makes us world leaders -- not just the size of our economy or the number of weapons we have, but our ability to show the way in how we work together, and how much respect we show each other. 如果我们做得好，如果美国以其多样性以及共同生活、共同努力、共同目标的能力树立榜样；如果印度，尽管幅员辽阔、多样性丰富、差异巨大，却能够不断坚定其民主，那将是地球上每个其他国家的榜样。这就是我们成为世界领导者的原因——不仅仅是因为我们的经济规模或我们拥有的武器数量，而是因为我们有能力指明方向，展示我们如何共同努力，以及我们对彼此的尊重程度。
And, finally, our nations are strongest when we empower our young people - because ultimately, you're the one who has to break down these old stereotypes and these old barriers, these old ways of thinking. Prejudices and stereotypes and assumptions -- those are what happens to old minds like mine. I'm getting gray hair now. I was more youthful when I first started this office. And that's why young people are so important in these efforts. 最后，当我们赋能年轻人时，我们的国家才是最强大的——因为归根结底，你们才是必须打破这些陈旧刻板印象、旧有壁垒和旧思维方式的人。偏见、刻板印象和先入为主的观念——这些都是像我这样的老脑袋里会有的东西。我现在头发都白了。我刚上任时更年轻。这就是为什么年轻人在这些努力中如此重要。
Here in India, most people are under 35 years old. And India is on track to become the world's most populous country. So young Indians like you aren't just going to define the future of this nation, you're going to shape the world. Like young people everywhere, you want to get an education, and find a good job, and make your mark. And it's not easy, but in our two countries, it's possible. 在印度，大多数人都在35岁以下。印度有望成为世界上人口最多的国家。因此，像你们这样的印度年轻人不仅将定义这个国家的未来，你们还将塑造世界。和世界各地的年轻人一样，你们想接受教育，找到一份好工作，留下自己的印记。这并不容易，但在我们两国，这是可能的。
Remember, Michelle and I don't come from wealthy backgrounds or famous families. Our families didn't have a lot of money. We did have parents and teachers and communities that cared about us. And with the help of scholarships and student loans, we were able to attend some of best schools of the world. Without that education, we wouldn't be here today. So whether it's in America, or here in India, or around the world, we believe young people like you ought to have every chance to pursue your dreams, as well. 请记住，米歇尔和我并非来自富裕家庭或名门望族。我们的家人没有很多钱。但我们有关心我们的父母、老师和社区。在奖学金和学生贷款的帮助下，我们得以进入世界上一些最好的学校。没有那种教育，我们今天就不会站在这里。因此，无论是在美国、在印度，还是在世界各地，我们都相信像你们这样的年轻人应该拥有一切机会去追逐自己的梦想。
So as India builds new community colleges, we'll link you with our own, so more young people graduate with the skills and training to succeed. We'll increase collaborations between our colleges and universities, and help create the next India institute of technology. We'll encourage young entrepreneurs who want to start a business. And we'll increase exchanges, because I want more American students coming to India, and more Indian students coming to America. And that way, we can learn from each other and we can go further. 因此，随着印度建设新的社区学院，我们将把你们与我们的学院联系起来，让更多年轻人获得成功所需的技能和培训。我们将增加我们高校之间的合作，帮助创建下一个印度理工学院。我们将鼓励想要创业的年轻企业家。我们将增加交流，因为我希望有更多的美国学生来印度，也有更多的印度学生去美国。这样，我们可以相互学习，走得更远。
Because one other thing we have in common Indians and Americans are some of the hardest working people on Earth. 因为我们还有一个共同点——印度人和美国人是地球上最勤奋的人民。
And I've seen that -- Michelle and I have seen that in a family here in India. I just want to tell you a quick story. On our last visit here, we visited Humayun's Tomb . And while we were there, we met some of the laborers who are the backbone of this nation's progress. We met their children and their families as well -- and some wonderful young children with bright smiles, sparks in their eyes. And one of the children we met was a boy named Vishal. 米歇尔和我在印度的一个家庭身上看到了这一点。我想给你们讲一个简短的故事。上次访问这里时，我们参观了胡马雍陵。在那里，我们遇到了一些劳动者，他们是这个国家进步的支柱。我们也见到了他们的孩子和家人——一些有着灿烂笑容、眼中闪烁着光芒的可爱孩子。我们遇到的其中一个孩子是一个名叫维沙尔的男孩。
And today, Vishal is 16 years old. And he and his family live in South Delhi, in the village of Mor Band. And his mother works hard in their modest home, and his sister is now in university; she wants to become a teacher. His brother is a construction worker earning his daily wage. And his father works as a stone layer, farther away, but sends home what little he makes so Vishal can go to school. And Vishal loves math, and mostly, he studies. And when he's not studying, he likes watching kabaddi . And he dreams of someday joining the Indian armed forces. 今天，维沙尔16岁了。他和家人住在南德里的莫尔班德村。他的母亲在他们简朴的家中辛勤劳作，他的姐姐现在在上大学，她想成为一名教师。他的哥哥是一名建筑工人，靠日薪为生。他的父亲在更远的地方做石匠，但会把微薄的收入寄回家，让维沙尔能够上学。维沙尔热爱数学，大部分时间都在学习。不学习的时候，他喜欢看卡巴迪比赛。他梦想有一天能加入印度武装部队。
And we're grateful that Vishal and his family joined us today. We're very proud of him, because he's an example of the talent that's here. And Vishal's dreams are as important as Malia and Sasha's dreams, our daughters. And we want him to have the same opportunities. 我们很感激维沙尔和他的家人今天能加入我们。我们为他感到非常骄傲，因为他就是这里人才的一个典范。维沙尔的梦想和玛利亚、萨沙——我们的女儿——的梦想一样重要。我们希望他拥有同样的机会。
Sisters and brothers of India, we are not perfect countries. And we've known tragedy and we've known triumph. We're home to glittering skyscrapers, but also terrible poverty; and new wealth, but also rising inequality. We have many challenges in front of us. But the reason I stand here today, and am so optimistic about our future together, is that, despite our imperfections, our two nations possess the keys to progress in the century ahead. We vote in free elections. 印度的兄弟姐妹们，我们的国家都不完美。我们经历过悲剧，也经历过胜利。我们这里有闪闪发光的摩天大楼，但也有可怕的贫困；有新的财富，但也有日益加剧的不平等。我们面前有许多挑战。但我今天站在这里，对我们共同的未来如此乐观的原因是，尽管我们有缺陷，但我们两国拥有在本世纪取得进步的关键。我们在自由选举中投票。
We work and we build and we innovate. We lift up the least among us. We reach for heights previous generations could not even imagine. We respect human rights and human dignity, and it is recorded in our constitutions. And we keep striving to live up to those ideals put to paper all those years ago. 我们工作、建设、创新。我们扶持最弱势的群体。我们追求前几代人甚至无法想象的高度。我们尊重人权和人类尊严，这都记载在我们的宪法中。我们继续努力践行多年前写在纸上的那些理想。
And we do these things because they make our lives better and safer and more prosperous. But we also do them because our moral imaginations extend beyond the limits of our own lives. And we believe that the circumstances of our birth need not dictate the arc of our lives. We believe in the father working far from home sending money back so his family might have a better life. We believe in the mother who goes without so that her children might have something more. We believe in the laborer earning his daily wage, and the student pursuing her degree. 我们做这些事情，是因为它们让我们的生活更美好、更安全、更繁荣。但我们做这些事情，也是因为我们的道德想象力超越了我们自己生命的局限。我们相信，出生的环境不应决定人生的轨迹。我们相信，那个在远方工作、把钱寄回家让家人过上更好生活的父亲。我们相信，那个为了让孩子拥有更多而自己节衣缩食的母亲。我们相信，那个挣着日薪的劳动者，和那个攻读学位的学生。
And we believe in a young boy who knows that if he just keeps studying, if he's just given the chance, his hopes might be realized, too. 我们相信那个知道只要坚持学习、只要得到机会，他的希望就有可能实现的小男孩。
We are all "beautiful flowers from the same garden branches of the same majestic tree." And I'm the first American President to come to your country twice, but I predict I will not be the last. Because, as Americans, we believe in the promise of India. We believe in the people of India. We are proud to be your friend. We are proud to be your partner as you build the country of your dreams. 我们都是"同一座花园里美丽的花朵……同一棵参天大树的枝干。"我是第一位两次访问你们国家的美国总统，但我预测我不会是最后一位。因为作为美国人，我们相信印度的承诺。我们相信印度人民。我们很自豪能成为你们的朋友。我们很自豪能在你们建设梦想之国的过程中成为你们的伙伴。
Jai Hind! Thank you. 印度万岁！（Jai Hind）谢谢大家。
