President Obama: Hello, Rio de Janeiro! 奥巴马总统： 你好，里约热内卢！
Audience: Hello! 观众： 你好！
Audience Member: Many welcomes! 观众成员： 欢迎你！
President Obama: Alo! Cidade! Maravilhoso! Boa tarde, todo o povo brasileiro. 奥巴马总统： Alo! Cidade! Maravilhoso! Boa tarde, todo o povo brasileiro.（你好！城市！太棒了！下午好，所有巴西人民。）
Since the moment we arrived, the people of this nation have graciously shown my family the warmth and generosity of the Brazilian spirit. Obrigado. Thank you. And I want to give a special thanks to all of you for being here, because I've been told that there's a Vasco football game coming. Botafogo -- So I know that -- I realize Brazilians don't give up their soccer very easily. 从我们到达的那一刻起，这个国家的人民就热情地向我的家人展示了巴西精神的温暖和慷慨。谢谢。谢谢你们。我要特别感谢大家来到这里，因为我听说瓦斯科队有一场足球比赛要来了。博塔弗戈——所以我知道——我意识到巴西人不会轻易放弃他们的足球。
Now, one of my earliest impressions of Brazil was a movie I saw with my mother as a very young child, a movie called Black Orpheus, that is set in the favelas of Rio during Carnival. And my mother loved that movie, with its singing and dancing against the backdrop of the beautiful green hills. And it first premiered as a play right here in Teatro Municipal. That's my understanding. 现在，我对巴西最早的印象之一是我小时候和母亲一起看的一部电影，叫《黑色奥菲斯》，故事发生在狂欢节期间里约的贫民窟。我母亲非常喜欢那部电影，喜欢它在美丽绿色山丘背景下的歌舞。据我所知，它最初就是在这座市立剧院首演的。
And my mother is gone now, but she would have never imagined that her son's first trip to Brazil would be as President of the United States. She would have never imagined that. And I never imagined that this country would be even more beautiful than it was in the movie. You are, as Jorge Ben-Jor sang, "A tropical country, blessed by God, and beautiful by nature." 我母亲现在已经去世了，但她从未想过她儿子第一次来巴西会是以美国总统的身份。她从未想过。我也从未想过这个国家会比电影中更加美丽。你们正如豪尔赫·本·若尔所唱，"一个受上帝眷顾的热带国家，天生美丽。"
I've seen that beauty in the cascading hillsides, in your endless miles of sand and ocean, and in the vibrant, diverse gatherings of brasileiros who have come here today. 我在层叠的山坡上看到了那种美丽，在你们无尽的沙滩和海洋中看到了那种美丽，在今天来到这里的充满活力、多元化的巴西人聚会中看到了那种美丽。
And we have a wonderfully mixed group. We have Cariocas and Paulistas, Baianas, Mineiros. We've got men and women from the cities to the interior, and so many young people here who are the great future of this great nation. 我们有一个非常精彩的多元群体。我们有卡里奥卡人和保利斯塔人，巴伊亚人，米纳斯吉拉斯人。我们有来自城市和内陆的男男女女，还有这么多年轻人，他们是这个伟大国家的光明未来。
Now, yesterday, I met with your wonderful new President, Dilma Rousseff, and talked about how we can strengthen the partnership between our governments. But today, I want to speak directly to the Brazilian people about how we can strengthen the friendship between our nations. I've come here to share some ideas because I want to speak of the values that we share, the hopes that we have in common, and the difference that we can make together. 昨天，我会见了你们出色的新总统迪尔玛·罗塞夫，讨论了如何加强我们两国政府之间的伙伴关系。但今天，我想直接向巴西人民谈谈我们如何加强我们两国之间的友谊。我来到这里是为了分享一些想法，因为我想谈谈我们共同的价值观，我们共同的希望，以及我们可以一起做出的改变。
When you think about it, the journeys of the United States of America and Brazil began in similar ways. Our lands are rich with God's creation, home to ancient and indigenous peoples. From overseas, the Americas were discovered by men who sought a New World, and settled by pioneers who pushed westward, across vast frontiers. We became colonies claimed by distant crowns, but soon declared our independence. We then welcomed waves of immigrants to our shores, and eventually after a long struggle, we cleansed the stain of slavery from our land. 想想看，美国和巴西的旅程以相似的方式开始。我们的土地富饶，是上帝的造物，是古老原住民的家园。从海外来看，美洲是由寻求新世界的人发现的，由穿越广阔边疆向西推进的先驱者定居的。我们成为遥远王冠宣称的殖民地，但很快宣布了独立。然后我们欢迎一波又一波的移民来到我们的海岸，最终经过长期斗争，我们洗清了土地上的奴隶制污点。
The United States was the first nation to recognize Brazil's independence, and set up a diplomatic outpost in this country. The first head of state to visit the United States was the leader of Brazil, Dom Pedro II. In the Second World War, our brave men and women fought side-by-side for freedom. And after the war, both of our nations struggled to achieve the full blessings of liberty. 美国是第一个承认巴西独立的国家，并在这个国家设立了外交机构。第一位访问美国的国家元首是巴西的领导人佩德罗二世。在第二次世界大战中，我们勇敢的男男女女并肩为自由而战。战后，我们两个国家都努力争取获得自由的完全祝福。
On the streets of the United States, men and women marched and bled and some died so that every citizen could enjoy the same freedoms and opportunities -- no matter what you looked like, no matter where you came from. 在美国的街道上，男男女女游行、流血，有些人牺牲了，这样每个公民都能享受同样的自由和机会——无论你长什么样，无论你来自哪里。
In Brazil, you fought against two decades of dictatorships for the same right to be heard -- the right to be free from fear, free from want. And yet, for years, democracy and development were slow to take hold, and millions suffered as a result. 在巴西，你们为反对二十年的独裁统治而斗争，为同样的权利发声——免于恐惧、免于匮乏的权利。然而，多年来，民主和发展进展缓慢，数百万人因此受苦。
But I come here today because those days have passed. Brazil today is a flourishing democracy -- a place where people are free to speak their mind and choose their leaders; where a poor kid from Pernambuco can rise from the floors of a copper factory to the highest office in Brazil. 但我今天来到这里，是因为那些日子已经过去了。今天的巴西是一个繁荣的民主国家——一个人们可以自由表达思想、选择领导人的地方；一个来自伯南布哥的穷孩子可以从铜工厂的地板上升到巴西最高职位的地方。
Over the last decade, the progress made by the Brazilian people has inspired the world. More than half of this nation is now considered middle class. Millions have been lifted from poverty. For the first time, hope is returning to places where fear had long prevailed. I saw this today when I visited Cidade de Deus -- the City of God. 在过去十年里，巴西人民取得的进步鼓舞了世界。这个国家超过一半的人口现在被认为是中产阶级。数百万人脱离了贫困。恐惧曾经长期笼罩的地方，第一次迎来了希望。我今天在访问上帝之城时看到了这一点。
It isn't just the new security efforts and social programs -- and I want to congratulate the mayor and the governor for the excellent work that they're doing. But it's also a change in attitudes. As one young resident said, "People have to look at favelas not with pity, but as a source of presidents and lawyers and doctors, artists, and people with solutions." 这不仅仅是新的安全措施和社会项目——我想祝贺市长和州长所做的出色工作。但这也是态度的转变。正如一位年轻居民所说，"人们不应该用怜悯的眼光看待贫民窟，而应该把它视为总统、律师、医生、艺术家和有解决问题能力的人的来源。"
With each passing day, Brazil is a country with more solutions. In the global community, you've gone from relying on the help of other nations, to now helping fight poverty and disease wherever they exist. You play an important role in the global institutions that protect our common security and promote our common prosperity. And you will welcome the world to your shores when the World Cup and the Olympic games come to Rio de Janeiro. 日复一日，巴西是一个有更多解决方案的国家。在国际社会中，你们已经从依赖其他国家的帮助，转变为现在帮助打击贫困和疾病。你们在保护我们共同安全和促进共同繁荣的全球机构中发挥着重要作用。当世界杯和奥运会来到里约热内卢时，你们将欢迎世界来到你们的海岸。
Now, you may be aware that this city was not my first choice for the Summer Olympics. But if the games could not be held in Chicago, then there's no place I'd rather see them than right here in Rio. And I intend to come back in 2016 to watch what happens. 你们可能知道，这座城市不是我举办夏季奥运会的首选。但如果芝加哥不能举办奥运会，那么我最希望看到的就是在这里举办。我打算2016年回来看比赛。
For so long, Brazil was a nation brimming with potential but held back by politics, both at home and abroad. For so long, you were called a country of the future, told to wait for a better day that was always just around the corner. 长期以来，巴西是一个充满潜力但被国内外政治束缚的国家。长期以来，你们被称为"未来之国"，被告知要等待更好的日子，而那一天总是近在咫尺。
Meus amigos, that day has finally come. And this is a country of the future no more. The people of Brazil should know that the future has arrived. It is here now. And it's time to seize it. 朋友们，那一天终于来了。这不再是未来的国家。巴西人民应该知道，未来已经到来。就是现在。是时候抓住它了。
Now, our countries have not always agreed on everything. And just like many nations, we're going to have our differences of opinion going forward. But I'm here to tell you that the American people don't just recognize Brazil's success -- we root for Brazil's success. As you confront the many challenges you still face at home as well as abroad, let us stand together -- not as senior and junior partners, but as equal partners, joined in a spirit of mutual interest and mutual respect, committed to the progress that I know that we can make together. I'm confident we can do it. 我们两国并非总是在所有事情上都达成一致。像许多国家一样，我们将来也会有意见分歧。但我在这里告诉你们，美国人民不仅仅是承认巴西的成功——我们为巴西的成功加油。当你们面对国内外的诸多挑战时，让我们站在一起——不是作为高级伙伴和低级伙伴，而是作为平等的伙伴，以相互利益和相互尊重的精神联合在一起，致力于我知道我们可以一起取得的进步。我有信心我们能做到。
Together we can advance our common prosperity. As two of the world's largest economies, we worked side by side during the financial crisis to restore growth and confidence. And to keep our economies growing, we know what's necessary in both of our nations. We need a skilled, educated workforce -- which is why American and Brazilian companies have pledged to help increase student exchanges between our two nations. 我们可以共同促进共同繁荣。作为世界上两个最大的经济体，我们在金融危机期间并肩合作，恢复增长和信心。为了让我们的经济持续增长，我们知道两国需要什么。我们需要技术熟练、受过教育的劳动力——这就是为什么美国和巴西公司承诺帮助增加我们两国之间的学生交流。
We need a commitment to innovation and technology -- which is why we've agreed to expand cooperation between our scientists, researchers, and engineers. 我们需要对创新和技术的承诺——这就是为什么我们同意扩大科学家、研究人员和工程师之间的合作。
We need world-class infrastructure -- which is why American companies want to help you build and prepare this city for Olympic success. 我们需要世界级的基础设施——这就是为什么美国公司希望帮助你们建设和准备这座城市迎接奥运会的成功。
In a global economy, the United States and Brazil should expand trade, expand investment, so that we create new jobs and new opportunities in both of our nations. And that's why we're working to break down barriers to doing business. That's why we're building closer relationships between our workers and our entrepreneurs. 在全球经济中，美国和巴西应该扩大贸易、扩大投资，这样我们就能在两国创造新的就业机会和新的机遇。这就是为什么我们正在努力消除做生意的障碍。这就是为什么我们正在建立工人和企业家之间更紧密的关系。
Together we can also promote energy security and protect our beautiful planet. As two nations that are committed to greener economies, we know that the ultimate solution to our energy challenges lies in clean and renewable power. And that's why half the vehicles in this country can run on biofuels, and most of your electricity comes from hydropower. 我们还可以共同促进能源安全，保护我们美丽的地球。作为两个致力于绿色经济的国家，我们知道能源挑战的最终解决方案在于清洁和可再生能源。这就是为什么这个国家一半的车辆可以使用生物燃料，你们大部分电力来自水力发电。
That's also why, in the United States, we've jumpstarted a new clean energy industry. And that's why the United States and Brazil are creating new energy partnerships -- to share technologies, create new jobs, and leave our children a world that is cleaner and safer than we found it. 这也是为什么在美国，我们启动了新的清洁能源产业。这就是为什么美国和巴西正在建立新的能源伙伴关系——分享技术，创造新的就业机会，给我们的子孙留下一个比我们发现时更清洁、更安全的世界。
Together, our two nations can also help defend our citizens' security. We're working together to stop narco-trafficking that has destroyed too many lives in this hemisphere. We seek the goal of a world without nuclear weapons. We're working together to enhance nuclear security across our hemisphere. 我们两个国家还可以共同保卫我们公民的安全。我们正在合作制止在这个半球摧毁了太多生命的毒品贩运。我们寻求一个没有核武器的世界。我们正在合作加强整个半球的核安全。
From Africa to Haiti, we are working side by side to combat the hunger, disease, and corruption that can rot a society and rob human beings of dignity and opportunity. And as two countries that have been greatly enriched by our African heritage, it's absolutely vital that we are working with the continent of Africa to help lift it up. That is something that we should be committed to doing together. 从非洲到海地，我们并肩合作，打击饥饿、疾病和腐败，这些东西会腐蚀社会，剥夺人类的尊严和机会。作为两个因非洲遗产而大大丰富的国家，与非洲大陆合作帮助它崛起是绝对重要的。这是我们应当共同致力于做的事情。
Today, we're both also delivering assistance and support to the Japanese people at their greatest hour of need. The ties that bind our nations to Japan are strong. In Brazil, you are home to the largest Japanese population outside of Japan. In the United States, we forged an alliance of more than 60 years. The people of Japan are some of our closest friends, and we will pray with them, and stand with them, and rebuild with them until this crisis has passed. 今天，我们也在向处于最需要时刻的日本人民提供援助和支持。将我们国家与日本联系在一起的纽带是牢固的。在巴西，你们拥有日本以外最大的日本裔人口。在美国，我们建立了超过60年的联盟。日本人民是我们最亲密的朋友，我们将与他们一起祈祷，与他们站在一起，与他们一起重建，直到这场危机过去。
In these and other efforts to promote peace and prosperity throughout the world, the United States and Brazil are partners not just because we share history, not just because we're in the same hemisphere; not just because we share ties of commerce and culture, but also because we share certain enduring values and ideals. 在这些及其他促进世界和平与繁荣的努力中，美国和巴西是伙伴，不仅仅因为我们分享历史，不仅仅因为我们在同一个半球；不仅仅因为我们有商业和文化的联系，还因为我们共享某些持久的价值观和理想。
We both believe in the power and promise of democracy. We believe that no other form of government is more effective at promoting growth and prosperity that reaches every human being -- not just some but all. And those who argue otherwise, those who argue that democracy stands in the way of economic progress, they must contend with the example of Brazil. 我们都相信民主的力量和承诺。我们相信没有其他形式的政府能更有效地促进惠及每个人——不仅仅是部分人而是所有人——的增长和繁荣。那些持相反观点的人，那些认为民主阻碍经济进步的人，他们必须面对巴西的例证。
The millions in this country who have climbed from poverty into the middle class, they could not do so in a closed economy controlled by the state. You're prospering as a free people with open markets and a government that answers to its citizens. You're proving that the goal of social justice and social inclusion can be best achieved through freedom -- that democracy is the greatest partner of human progress. 这个国家数百万从中产阶级底层攀升到中产阶级的人，他们不可能在一个由国家控制的封闭经济中做到这一点。你们作为一个自由的民族，以开放市场和对公民负责的政府而繁荣发展。你们正在证明，社会正义和社会包容的目标可以通过自由最好地实现——民主是人类进步最伟大的伙伴。
We also believe that in nations as big and diverse as ours, shaped by generations of immigrants from every race and faith and background, democracy offers the best hope that every citizen is treated with dignity and respect, and that we can resolve our differences peacefully, that we find strength in our diversity. 我们也相信，在像我们这样由来自各种种族、信仰和背景的几代移民塑造的大而多元的国家中，民主提供了最好的希望，即每个公民都受到尊严和尊重的对待，我们可以和平地解决我们的分歧，我们在多元中找到力量。
We know that experience in the United States. We know how important it is to be able to work together -- even when we often disagree. I understand that our chosen form of government can be slow and messy. We understand that democracy must be constantly strengthened and perfected over time. We know that different nations take different paths to realize the promise of democracy. And we understand that no one nation should impose its will on another. 我们在美国有这种经验。我们知道能够一起工作是多么重要——即使我们经常意见不合。我理解我们选择的政府形式可能是缓慢和混乱的。我们理解民主必须不断加强和完善。我们知道不同国家走不同的道路来实现民主的承诺。我们理解没有一个国家应该将自己的意志强加于另一个国家。
But we also know that there's certain aspirations shared by every human being: We all seek to be free. We all seek to be heard. We all yearn to live without fear or discrimination. We all yearn to choose how we are governed. And we all want to shape our own destiny. These are not American ideals or Brazilian ideals. These are not Western ideals. These are universal rights, and we must support them everywhere. 但我们也知道，每个人都有一些共同的愿望：我们都追求自由。我们都追求被倾听。我们都渴望生活在没有恐惧或歧视的环境中。我们都渴望选择我们如何被治理。我们都想掌握自己的命运。这些不是美国的理想或巴西的理想。这些不是西方的理想。这些是普遍的权利，我们必须在任何地方支持它们。
Today, we are seeing the struggle for these rights unfold across the Middle East and North Africa. We've seen a revolution born out of a yearning for basic human dignity in Tunisia. We've seen peaceful protestors pour into Tahrir Square -- men and women, young and old, Christian and Muslim. We've seen the people of Libya take a courageous stand against a regime determined to brutalize its own citizens. Across the region, we've seen young people rise up -- a new generation demanding the right to determine their own future. 今天，我们正在看到争取这些权利的斗争在中东和北非展开。我们在突尼斯看到了一场源于对基本人类尊严渴望的革命。我们看到和平的抗议者涌入解放广场——男人和女人，年轻人和老年人，基督徒和穆斯林。我们看到利比亚人民勇敢地反对一个决心残害本国公民的政权。在整个地区，我们看到年轻人站出来——新一代要求有权决定自己的未来。
From the beginning, we have made clear that the change they seek must be driven by their own people. But for our two nations, for the United States and Brazil, two nations who have struggled over many generations to perfect our own democracies, the United States and Brazil know that the future of the Arab World will be determined by its people. 从一开始，我们就明确表示，他们寻求的变革必须由他们自己的人民推动。但对我们两个国家，对美国和巴西，两个经过几代人努力完善我们自己民主的国家，美国和巴西知道阿拉伯世界的未来将由其人民决定。
No one can say for certain how this change will end, but I do know that change is not something that we should fear. When young people insist that the currents of history are on the move, the burdens of the past can be washed away. When men and women peacefully claim their human rights, our own common humanity is enhanced. Wherever the light of freedom is lit, the world becomes a brighter place. 没有人能确切地说这场变革将如何结束，但我知道变革不是我们应该害怕的东西。当年轻人坚持历史潮流在涌动时，过去的负担可以被冲走。当男人和女人和平地主张他们的人权时，我们共同的人性得到了增强。只要有自由之光照亮的地方，世界就会变得更加光明。
That is the example of Brazil. That is the example of Brazil. Brazil -- a country that shows that a dictatorship can become a thriving democracy. Brazil -- a country that shows democracy delivers both freedom and opportunity to its people. Brazil -- a country that shows how a call for change that starts in the streets can transform a city, transform a country, transform a world. 这就是巴西的榜样。这就是巴西的榜样。巴西——一个表明独裁可以变成繁荣民主的国家。巴西——一个表明民主为人民带来自由和机会的国家。巴西——一个表明从街头开始的变革呼吁如何改变一个城市、改变一个国家、改变世界的国家。
Decades ago, it was directly outside of this theater, in Cinelandia Square, where the call for change was heard in Brazil. Students and artists and political leaders of all stripes would gather with banners that said, "Down with the dictatorship. The people in power." Their democratic aspirations would not be fulfilled until years later, but one of the young Brazilians in that generation's movement would go on to forever change the history of this country. 几十年前，就在这家剧院外面，在西内兰迪亚广场，巴西听到了变革的呼吁。学生、艺术家和各种政治领袖聚集在一起，举着"打倒独裁"的标语。他们的民主愿望直到多年后才实现，但那一代运动中的一位年轻巴西人将永远改变这个国家的历史。
A child of an immigrant, her participation in the movement led to her arrest and her imprisonment, her torture at the hands of her own government. And so she knows what it's like to live without the most basic human rights that so many are fighting for today. But she also knows what it is to persevere. She knows what it is to overcome -- because today that woman is your nation's president, Dilma Rousseff. 一个移民的孩子，她参与运动导致了她的逮捕和监禁，她被自己的政府折磨。所以她知道在没有今天这么多人都在为之奋斗的最基本人权的情况下生活是什么滋味。但她也知道什么是坚持不懈。她知道什么是克服——因为今天那个女人就是你们的国家总统迪尔玛·罗塞夫。
Our two nations face many challenges. On the road ahead, we will certainly encounter many obstacles. But in the end, it is our history that gives us hope for a better tomorrow. It is the knowledge that the men and women who came before us have triumphed over greater trials than these -- that we live in places where ordinary people have done extraordinary things. 我们两个国家面临许多挑战。在前进的道路上，我们肯定会遇到许多障碍。但最终，是我们的历史给了我们对更美好明天的希望。正是知道在我们之前的人们已经战胜了比这更大的考验——我们生活在普通人做了非凡事情的地方。
It's that sense of possibility, that sense of optimism that first drew pioneers to this New World. It's what binds our nations together as partners in this new century. It's why we believe, in the words of Paul Coelho, one of your most famous writers, "With the strength of our love and our will, we can change our destiny, as well as the destiny of many others." 正是这种可能性感，这种乐观主义感，首先吸引了先驱者来到这个新世界。正是它将我们作为伙伴在这个新世纪联系在一起。这就是为什么我们相信，用你们最著名的作家之一保罗·科埃略的话说，"凭借我们爱和意志的力量，我们可以改变我们的命运，以及许多其他人的命运。"
Muito obrigado. Thank you. And may God bless our two nations. Thank you very much. 非常感谢。谢谢。愿上帝保佑我们两个国家。非常感谢。
