Thank you so much. Please be seated. Well, good morning, and thank you for welcoming me here today. 非常感谢。请就坐。早上好，谢谢大家今天欢迎我来到这里。
Before I begin, I want to say a few words about the appalling terrorist attack in Mali. We're still learning the facts, but what we do know is that gunmen stormed a hotel in the capital of Bamako that was filled with citizens from a number of nations -- many of whom were there to help the people of Mali build a lasting peace. The terrorists began ruthlessly killing people and taking hostages. 在开始之前，我想就马里发生的骇人恐怖袭击说几句话。我们仍在了解事实，但我们确切知道的是，武装分子突袭了首都巴马科的一家酒店，酒店里住满了来自多个国家的公民——其中许多人是在那里帮助马里人民建设持久和平的。恐怖分子开始残忍杀害人质并劫持人质。
And so, on behalf of the American people, I want to extend our deepest condolences to the people of Mali and the victims' families, including at least one American. These were innocent people who had everything to live for, and they will be remembered for the joy and love that they brought to the world. 因此，我谨代表美国人民，向马里人民和遇难者家属致以最深切的慰问，其中至少包括一名美国人。这些都是无辜的生命，他们本应有美好的生活，他们带给世界的欢乐与爱将被永远铭记。
And we are grateful to all those who responded and risked their own lives to save others. Malian security forces and all our own diplomatic security agents rushed in to pull people to safety. French troops and American forces who were in the country for training missions provided support, as did United Nations forces. And thanks to the swift action and skill of all involved, many people escaped and lives were saved, and the terrorists were prevented from causing even more bloodshed. 我们感谢所有挺身而出、冒着生命危险拯救他人的人们。马里安全部队以及我们所有的外交安全人员迅速冲入现场，将人们转移到安全地带。在该国执行训练任务的法国军队和美军提供了支援，联合国部队也提供了帮助。由于所有相关人员的迅速行动和专业技能，许多人得以逃脱，生命得到挽救，恐怖分子被阻止造成更多流血事件。
But I want the American people to know that we're still working to account for Americans who may have been at the hotel and to ensure the safety of all of our citizens in Mali. 但我想让美国人民知道，我们仍在努力确认可能在那家酒店的美国人的下落，并确保我们在马里的所有公民的安全。
Like the heinous attacks we saw in Paris -- and attacks we see all too often elsewhere -- this is another awful reminder that the scourge of terrorism threatens so many of our nations. And once again, this barbarity only stiffens our resolve to meet this challenge. We will stand with the people of Mali as they work to rid their country of terrorists and strengthen their democracy. With allies and partners, the United States will be relentless against those who target our citizens. We'll continue to root out terrorist networks. We will not allow these killers to have a safe haven. 就像我们在巴黎看到的残暴袭击——以及我们在其他地方屡见不鲜的袭击一样——这一事件再次可怕地提醒我们，恐怖主义的祸患威胁着我们众多国家。而这一暴行只会再次坚定我们迎接这一挑战的决心。我们将与马里人民站在一起，支持他们努力清除国内的恐怖分子，巩固民主制度。美国将与盟友和伙伴一道，毫不留情地打击那些针对我们公民的人。我们将继续铲除恐怖网络。我们绝不会让这些杀人犯拥有安全的避风港。
And as I've seen throughout my trip this week, nations around the world -- including countries represented here today -- are united in our determination to protect our people; to push back on the hateful ideologies that fuel this terrorism; and to stand up for the universal values of tolerance and respect for human dignity that unites us and makes us stronger than any terrorist. This is the work we must do together. This is the future that we have to build together. And that's why I'm here today. 正如我本周出访期间所看到的，世界各国——包括今天在座的国家——都团结一心，决心保护我们的人民；抵制助长恐怖主义的仇恨意识形态；捍卫宽容和尊重人格尊严的普世价值，这些价值将我们团结在一起，使我们比任何恐怖分子都更强大。这是我们必须共同完成的事业。这是我们必须共同建设的未来。而这正是我今天来到这里的原因。
I want to thank everyone at the ASEAN Business Advisory Council for welcoming us. Those of you here today represent the strength and diversity of all 10 ASEAN nations. I'm pleased that we're joined by our friends from the American Malaysian Chamber of Commerce and the U.S.-ASEAN Business Council. And I especially want to thank our outstanding hosts -- the government and people of Malaysia, this year's ASEAN chair. Terima kasih banyak. 我要感谢东盟商务咨询理事会的每一位同仁对我们的欢迎。今天在座的各位代表了东盟十国的实力与多样性。我很高兴美国马来西亚商会以及美国-东盟商务理事会的朋友们也加入了我们。我还要特别感谢我们出色的东道主——马来西亚政府和人民，今年的东盟轮值主席国。非常感谢。（马来语：Terima kasih banyak）
Now, as I mentioned before, Southeast Asia holds a special place in my heart. As a boy, I lived in Indonesia where for many years my mother dedicated herself to empowering rural women. And as President, I've worked to deepen America's engagement in this region. I was proud to be the first U.S. President to meet with the leaders of all 10 ASEAN countries -- the first U.S. President to attend the East Asia Summit, and this visit marks my sixth meeting with ASEAN. 正如我之前提到的，东南亚在我心中占有特殊的位置。小时候，我在印度尼西亚生活过，多年来，我母亲一直致力于赋能农村妇女。而作为总统，我一直致力于深化美国在这一地区的参与。我很自豪能成为第一位与东盟全部十个国家领导人会晤的美国总统——第一位出席东亚峰会的美国总统，而这次访问是我第六次参加东盟会议。
And today, ASEAN is one of the largest markets for U.S. exports, and American businesses invest more in ASEAN than any other of these regions. It's one of the reasons that, while I've been in office, we've boosted our exports across Asia by more than 50 percent, to record levels. And I congratulate all the ASEAN nations, after many years of work, on launching the new ASEAN Community. I look forward to becoming the first U.S. President to visit Laos when it hosts ASEAN next year. 今天，东盟已成为美国出口的最大市场之一，美国企业在东盟的投资超过了在其他任何地区的投资。这也是为什么在我任职期间，我们对亚洲的出口增长了50%以上，达到了创纪录的水平。我祝贺所有东盟国家经过多年努力，正式启动了新的东盟共同体。我期待着在明年老挝担任东盟轮值主席国时，成为第一位访问老挝的美国总统。
America's closer ties with this region are part of a larger story. When I became President, I made a strategic decision that after a decade in which the United States had focused so heavily elsewhere, especially the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, that we would rebalance our foreign policy and play a larger and long-term role here in the Asia Pacific. 美国与该地区更紧密的联系是一个更大叙事的一部分。在我就任总统时，我做出了一个战略决策：在过去十年美国过度关注其他地区（尤其是伊拉克和阿富汗战争）之后，我们将重新平衡我们的外交政策，在亚太地区发挥更广泛和更长期的作用。
I made this decision with an appreciation of history -- how the United States, as a Pacific power, has been a stabilizing presence here for seven decades. And I made it with an eye on the future -- because as the home of half of humanity and some of the fastest-growing markets in the world, the security and prosperity of the Asia Pacific is vital to the national interests of the United States. And deeper partnerships with our allies and partners in this region can help us meet global challenges, including terrorism. 我做出这一决定，是出于对历史的认识——美国作为一个太平洋大国，七十年来一直是这一地区的稳定力量。我做出这一决定，也是着眼于未来——因为作为人类一半人口的家园和世界上一些增长最快的市场所在地，亚太地区的安全与繁荣对美国的国家利益至关重要。而与我们在这一地区的盟友和伙伴深化伙伴关系，能够帮助我们应对包括恐怖主义在内的全球挑战。
So I put forward a vision of the future our nations can build together: A future of mutual security and peace where international law and norms are upheld and where disputes are resolved by dialogue and diplomacy. A future of open markets and trade that is free and fair. A future of freedom, where government is based on the will of the people, citizens are empowered by democratic governance and the inherent dignity and human rights of all people are upheld. 因此，我提出了我们各国可以共同建设的未来愿景：一个相互安全与和平的未来，在那里国际法和规范得到维护，争端通过对话与外交解决。一个开放市场和自由公平贸易的未来。一个自由的未来，政府以人民的意志为基础，公民因民主治理而获得权能，所有人的固有尊严和人权都得到维护。
In pursuit of this vision, the United States has deepened our engagement with the region across the board. We've strengthened our alliances. We've modernized our defense posture. More U.S. forces are rotating through more parts of the region for training and exercises. We've expanded our cooperation with emerging powers and economies, like Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam and India. We're working to build a constructive relationship with China, where we cooperate more where our interests align, even as we candidly confront areas of disagreement. 为了实现这一愿景，美国全面深化了与该地区的接触。我们加强了同盟关系。我们实现了防务姿态的现代化。更多的美军正在该地区更多地方轮换进行训练和演习。我们扩大了与马来西亚、印度尼西亚、越南和印度等新兴大国和经济体的合作。我们正努力与中国建立建设性关系，在利益一致的领域加强合作，同时坦诚面对存在分歧的领域。
We've stood up for democracy, for human rights and for development. We've called for a return to civilian rule in Thailand. And we're forging new partnerships to help educate girls and young women in Cambodia. Just yesterday, I met with some extraordinary young people from our Young Southeast Asian Leaders Initiative -- more than 55,000 young innovators who are going to shape this region for decades to come. 我们捍卫民主、人权和发展。我们呼吁泰国回归文官统治。我们正在建立新的伙伴关系，帮助柬埔寨的女童和年轻女性接受教育。就在昨天，我会见了一些来自"东南亚青年领袖倡议"的杰出青年——超过五万五千名年轻创新者，他们将在未来几十年塑造这一地区。
And we're going to sustain our engagement with the people of Myanmar. The landslide victory of Aung San Suu Kyi's National League of Democracy gives hope for a Burma that is inclusive and united, peaceful and democratic. 我们将继续保持与缅甸人民的接触。昂山素季领导的全国民主联盟取得压倒性胜利，给缅甸带来了希望——一个包容、团结、和平与民主的缅甸。
In other words, even as the United States has dealt with pressing challenges in other parts of the world, our rebalance to Asia Pacific has continued full force. And now, we're ready to take the next step by moving ahead with the highest-standard trade agreement in history -- the Trans-Pacific Partnership. 换句话说，尽管美国一直在应对世界其他地区的紧迫挑战，但我们的亚太再平衡战略一直在全力推进。而现在，我们准备迈出下一步，推进历史上最高标准的贸易协定——《跨太平洋伙伴关系协定》。
Four of your nations are already part of TPP -- Brunei, Malaysia, Singapore and Vietnam. Along with the United States, it also includes Australia, Japan, New Zealand, Canada, Mexico, Peru and Chile. When implemented, it won't just boost trade and support jobs in our 12 countries, it will help set stronger rules for trade across the Asia Pacific. And that's what I want to talk about today. 你们当中有四个国家已经加入了跨太平洋伙伴关系协定——文莱、马来西亚、新加坡和越南。除美国外，该协定还包括澳大利亚、日本、新西兰、加拿大、墨西哥、秘鲁和智利。协定实施后，不仅将促进我们十二个国家的贸易增长和就业，还将为整个亚太地区制定更有力的贸易规则。这就是我今天想谈的内容。
I know that the politics around trade can be hard -- in all of our countries. Past agreements haven't always lived up to their promises. In recent decades, with the rise of globalization and technology, some workers, especially in developed countries, have seen their jobs exported abroad or replaced by automation. I've seen it in my home state of Illinois, as manufacturing plants shut down and jobs dried up over the last two decades. 我知道，围绕贸易的政治博弈可能很艰难——在我们所有国家都是如此。过去的协定并不总能兑现其承诺。近几十年来，随着全球化和技术的发展，一些工人，尤其是发达国家的工人，发现他们的工作被转移到了海外，或者被自动化所取代。我在我的家乡伊利诺伊州就亲眼见过，过去二十年来，制造工厂关闭，就业机会枯竭。
And all of this has made many people skeptical of trade agreements -- despite the fact that American manufacturing has added some 900,000 new jobs in the past few years, growing for the first time in more than a decade. 所有这一切都让许多人对贸易协定持怀疑态度——尽管美国制造业在过去几年中增加了约九十万个新工作岗位，十多年来首次实现增长。
Meanwhile, some industries that are protected from competition by subsidies or tariffs -- and the political interests that represent those industries -- often resist efforts to change the status quo. 与此同时，一些受到补贴或关税保护而免于竞争的行业——以及代表这些行业的政治利益集团——往往抵制改变现状的努力。
So, for all these reasons, a new trade deal like TPP can be a tough sell. But the answer is not to stop trading -- to try to build barriers that close any individual country off from the global economy. It's not possible anymore. Our economies are more integrated than ever. Companies like yours rely on global supply chains. The answer is to do trade the right way -- and that's what TPP does. 因此，出于所有这些原因，像跨太平洋伙伴关系协定这样的新贸易协定可能很难推销。但答案不是停止贸易——不是试图建造壁垒，将任何一个国家与全球经济隔离开来。这已经不可能了。我们的经济比以往任何时候都更加融合。像你们这样的公司依赖于全球供应链。答案是以正确的方式开展贸易——而这正是跨太平洋伙伴关系协定的意义所在。
I've been making the case for TPP to the American people, including our Congress, where I am confident we will get approval and move forward. I know there are similar debates in TPP countries here in Asia. And as business leaders, you can make your voices heard. So I'm not going to recount all the reasons why this is such a good deal. 我一直在向美国人民宣传跨太平洋伙伴关系协定的理由，包括向我们的国会，我有信心我们将获得批准并向前推进。我知道亚洲的跨太平洋伙伴关系协定成员国也存在类似的争论。作为商界领袖，你们可以发出自己的声音。所以我不会逐一列举这是一项多么好的协定的所有理由。
But I would encourage you to remind people back home that this trade pact is a win for all of our countries. It's a win for our 12 TPP countries. By eliminating tens of thousands of tariffs -- essentially taxes -- on goods, on each other's products, TPP removes old barriers and opens new markets. 但我鼓励你们提醒国内的人们，这项贸易协定对我们所有国家都是共赢的。对我们十二个跨太平洋伙伴关系协定成员国来说是共赢的。通过取消数万种关税——本质上就是税收——对彼此产品的征收，跨太平洋伙伴关系协定消除了旧壁垒，打开了新市场。
The United States is already one of the most open economies in the world. And when the high tariffs among our TPP partners come down also, it will create new opportunities for everybody. Malaysia will be able to sell more cell phones to Mexico. Singapore can sell more medicine to Peru. Vietnam will be able to sell more leather goods to Japan. The list goes on. 美国已经是世界上最开放的经济体之一。当我们的跨太平洋伙伴关系协定伙伴国的高关税也降下来时，将为所有人创造新的机会。马来西亚将能够向墨西哥出售更多手机。新加坡可以向秘鲁出售更多药品。越南将能够向日本出售更多皮革制品。这样的例子不胜枚举。
TPP is a win for the United States. I'm not going to be shy about this. As President of the United States, I make no apologies for fighting to open markets to American companies and workers. And we've had success. U.S. exports have reached record highs, and we know that companies that export tend to grow faster, hire more employees and pay their workers more than companies that do not export. 跨太平洋伙伴关系协定对美国来说是共赢的。对此我不会讳言。作为美国总统，我为努力为美国公司和工人打开市场而感到理所当然。我们已经取得了成功。美国出口已创历史新高，我们知道，出口型企业往往比非出口型企业增长更快、雇佣员工更多、支付工人工资更高。
And so, by eliminating some 18,000 tariffs that other countries put on American exports, TPP levels the playing field for our workers and businesses -- which means American manufacturers will be able to sell more cars and trucks, equipment and machinery. American farmers and ranchers will be able to sell more dairy, fruits, poultry and beef -- and there's no steak like an American steak. You agree. 因此，通过取消其他国家对美国出口产品征收的约一万八千种关税，跨太平洋伙伴关系协定为我们的工人和企业创造了公平的竞争环境——这意味着美国制造商将能够销售更多的轿车和卡车、设备和机械。美国农民和牧场主将能够销售更多的乳制品、水果、家禽和牛肉——而且没有什么牛排能比得上美国牛排。你们同意吧。
The bottom line is, Americans are ready to compete. With TPP, you'll be seeing more products with that label we're so proud of -- "Made in America." 归根结底，美国人已经做好了竞争的准备。有了跨太平洋伙伴关系协定，你们将看到更多带有我们引以为豪的标签的产品——"美国制造"。
And TPP is a win for the kind of trade that companies and workers in our countries need to compete in the 21st century. It makes sure that globalization is working for us, and not against us. 跨太平洋伙伴关系协定对于我们各国企业和工人在二十一世纪竞争所需要的那种贸易来说也是共赢的。它确保全球化为我们服务，而不是与我们作对。
For example, TPP strengthens protections for intellectual property so innovations are less likely to be stolen or pirated. It encourages more trade in services, which is a larger and larger proportion of our economies and our workforces. As the first trade agreement to truly embrace the digital economy, it encourages e-commerce. It simplifies customs, which makes it easier for all companies to export, especially small and medium-sized businesses that create many of the jobs in our countries and have more difficulty navigating through a lot of bureaucracy in trying to export to other countries. 例如，跨太平洋伙伴关系协定加强了知识产权保护，使创新成果不太可能被窃取或盗版。它鼓励更多的服务贸易，而服务业在我们的经济和劳动力中所占的比例越来越大。作为第一个真正拥抱数字经济的贸易协定，它鼓励电子商务。它简化了海关程序，使所有企业更容易出口，特别是中小型企业——它们创造了我们各国的大量就业机会，但在尝试向其他国家出口时，更难应对繁多的官僚程序。
But the message I really want to deliver today is this -- TPP is more than just a trade pact; it also has important strategic and geopolitical benefits. TPP is a long-term investment in our shared security and in universal human rights. I want to be very clear -- trade is not a panacea. It's not a cure-all for the range of challenges our nations face. But we know from experience that when trade is done right it can help fuel progress in other areas. 但我今天真正想传达的信息是：跨太平洋伙伴关系协定不仅仅是一项贸易协定；它还具有重要的战略和地缘政治意义。跨太平洋伙伴关系协定是对我们共同安全和普世人权的长期投资。我想非常明确地说——贸易不是万能药。它不能解决我们各国面临的各种挑战。但我们从经验中知道，当贸易以正确的方式进行时，它可以帮助推动其他领域的进步。
Let me be specific. First, TPP will help build greater trust and cooperation among nations. We've long understood that trade can help bring countries and regions closer. Take the example of the post-World War II era, where the free nations of Europe set out to bind themselves together in what would become the European Union. Over many decades, the United States helped fashion the international institutions and global trading system that have stitched our economies together and helped prevent another war between major powers. 让我具体说明。首先，跨太平洋伙伴关系协定将有助于建立国家间更大的信任与合作。我们早就明白，贸易可以帮助拉近国家和地区之间的距离。以二战后时代为例，欧洲的自由国家开始将自己紧密联系在一起，最终形成了欧盟。几十年来，美国帮助建立了国际机构和全球贸易体系，将我们的经济编织在一起，并帮助防止了大国之间再次发生战争。
There is a link between economic security and national security, and that's at the heart of ASEAN. So TPP will help to advance the economic integration that underwrites peace and stability in this region. 经济安全与国家安全之间存在联系，而这正是东盟的核心所在。因此，跨太平洋伙伴关系协定将有助于推进经济一体化，为该地区的和平与稳定提供支撑。
Second, TPP will bind the United States even closer to some of our strongest allies in Asia. It's no coincidence that around the world many of our treaty allies are also some of our strongest trading partners. There's a virtuous circle -- our alliances are the foundation for our security, which becomes the foundation of our prosperity, which allows us to invest in the sources of our strength, including our alliances. 其次，跨太平洋伙伴关系协定将使美国与我们在亚洲一些最坚定的盟友联系得更加紧密。在世界各地，我们的许多条约盟友同时也是我们最强大的贸易伙伴，这并非巧合。这是一个良性循环——我们的联盟是我们安全的基石，而安全又成为我们繁荣的基础，繁荣又使我们能够投资于我们的力量源泉，包括我们的联盟。
The United States has treaty obligations to the security of our allies, Japan and Australia, a longstanding defense relationships with New Zealand. With greater trade and ties under the TPP, we and our allies will be investing in our mutual security for generations to come. 美国对我们的盟友日本和澳大利亚的安全负有条约义务，与新西兰有着长期的防务关系。通过跨太平洋伙伴关系协定带来的更多贸易和联系，我们和我们的盟友将为子孙后代投资于我们的共同安全。
Third, TPP will allow the United States to forge even deeper partnerships with countries that are playing a rising role in this region. Here in Malaysia, new starts-ups and investments in entrepreneurship have made this country a hub of innovation. Vietnam has one of the region's fastest-growing economies. With greater prosperity comes greater responsibility, and both Malaysia and Vietnam are, indeed, doing more. 第三，跨太平洋伙伴关系协定将使美国能够与在这一地区发挥日益重要作用的国家建立更深入的伙伴关系。在马来西亚，新兴的创业企业和对创业的投资使这个国家成为创新中心。越南是该地区增长最快的经济体之一。随着繁荣程度的提高，责任也随之增大，而马来西亚和越南确实正在承担更多责任。
So the United States is working with both countries to ensure maritime security, to uphold the freedom of navigation, to ensure that disputes in the region are resolved peacefully. And as they grow their economies under TPP, Malaysia and Vietnam will be able to make even greater contributions to regional security. 因此，美国正与两国合作，确保海上安全，维护航行自由，确保该地区的争端得到和平解决。随着马来西亚和越南在跨太平洋伙伴关系协定框架下发展经济，它们将能够为地区安全做出更大贡献。
Fourth, TPP will allow our countries, together, to write the rules for trade in the Asia Pacific for decades to come. Our nations are more secure and more prosperous when everybody plays by the same rules. And what are those rules? We believe that economic relationships should be based not on one country simply extracting the resources of another country, but rather, as TPP envisions, economic partnerships where we encourage innovation and investment for our mutual benefit. 第四，跨太平洋伙伴关系协定将使我们各国能够共同制定未来几十年亚太地区的贸易规则。当每个人都遵守同样的规则时，我们的国家会更安全、更繁荣。那么这些规则是什么呢？我们认为，经济关系不应建立在一个国家简单地攫取另一个国家资源的基础上，而应如跨太平洋伙伴关系协定所设想的那样，建立在经济伙伴关系的基础上，鼓励创新和投资，实现互利共赢。
We believe that economic disagreements should be resolved peacefully through dialogue, not through bullying or coercion. We believe in fair competition -- which is why TPP is the first trade agreement to level the playing field between private firms and state-owned enterprises. And we believe that citizens should be able to explore new ideas and innovate -- which is why TPP protects the free flow of data and information across borders and commits our nations to a free and open Internet. 我们认为，经济分歧应通过对话和平解决，而不是通过欺凌或胁迫。我们信仰公平竞争——这就是为什么跨太平洋伙伴关系协定是第一个在私营企业和国有企业之间创造公平竞争环境的贸易协定。我们相信，公民应该能够探索新思想并进行创新——这就是为什么跨太平洋伙伴关系协定保护数据和信息的跨境自由流动，并承诺我们各国致力于自由开放的互联网。
In this sense, with TPP, we're not only writing the rules for trade in the Asia Pacific, we also have an historic opportunity to shape the future of the global economy. Our 12 nations comprise nearly 40 percent of global GDP, about a third of global trade. And already, a growing number of nations are expressing interest in joining TPP. If a country 从这个意义上说，通过跨太平洋伙伴关系协定，我们不仅在制定亚太地区的贸易规则，我们还拥有塑造全球经济未来的历史性机遇。我们十二个国家的国内生产总值占全球的近百分之四十，贸易额约占全球的三分之一。而且，越来越多的国家已经表示有兴趣加入跨太平洋伙伴关系协定。如果一个国家
-- including other ASEAN countries -- are prepared to meet its high standards, that's a conversation worth having. And even countries that may never join TPP will have to compete in a TPP world, giving them an incentive to raise their standards, as well. So countries will have a choice -- reform and modernize, or risk getting left behind. In this way, I believe TPP will help strengthen the hand of reformers far beyond our 12 initial members. ——包括其他东盟国家——准备达到其高标准，那将是一个值得探讨的话题。即使是那些可能永远不会加入跨太平洋伙伴关系协定的国家，也将不得不在跨太平洋伙伴关系协定的世界中竞争，这也给了它们提高自身标准的动力。因此，各国将有一个选择——改革和现代化，或者冒被甩在后面的风险。这样一来，我相信跨太平洋伙伴关系协定将有助于加强远远超出我们最初十二个成员国范围的改革派力量。
All of which means that, over time, TPP holds the promise of becoming an even more important driver of growth in the global economy. There are people back home in the United States that say America -- at a time when you see more emerging powers, a more multipolar world -- that is worried about American leadership. And sometimes I have to explain that one of the ways we're already leading is in helping to shape something like the Trans-Pacific Partnership. This is a prime example of America and our partners working together to shape the world we want for future generations. 所有这一切都意味着，随着时间的推移，跨太平洋伙伴关系协定有望成为全球经济增长的一个更重要的驱动力。在美国国内，有人说，在新兴大国增多、世界更加多极化的时代，美国的领导力令人担忧。有时候我不得不解释，我们已经在发挥领导作用的方式之一，就是帮助推动像跨太平洋伙伴关系协定这样的事业。这是美国和我们的伙伴共同努力、为子孙后代塑造我们所期望的世界的一个典型例子。
And this is particularly important when it comes to advancing human rights and universal values, which are embedded in TPP. In the past, trade agreements often have done too little in this area. And that's why we negotiated so hard for so long to get a trade pact that upholds our values. And we succeeded. TPP contains the highest trade standards ever negotiated. And with TPP, countries are already making binding commitments. 而在推进人权和普世价值方面，这一点尤为重要，这些都已嵌入跨太平洋伙伴关系协定之中。过去，贸易协定在这方面往往做得太少。这就是为什么我们经过了这么长时间的艰苦谈判，才达成一项维护我们价值观的贸易协定。而我们成功了。跨太平洋伙伴关系协定包含了有史以来谈判达成的最高贸易标准。有了跨太平洋伙伴关系协定，各国已经在做出具有约束力的承诺。
Every TPP country has responsibilities -- and I'll give you some specific examples. Around the world -- including in America and here in the Asia Pacific -- it's still too hard for workers to form a union and protect their rights. In some countries, it's a crime. But we know from our own history that when workers are able to come together and speak with one voice, it helps to boost wages, which improves working conditions and raises living standards. And all this progress ripples out and benefits all workers. 每个跨太平洋伙伴关系协定成员国都有责任——我来举一些具体的例子。在世界各地——包括美国和亚太地区——工人组建工会和保护自身权利仍然困难重重。在一些国家，这甚至是一种犯罪。但我们从自己的历史中知道，当工人能够团结起来、发出统一的声音时，这有助于提高工资，改善工作条件，提高生活水平。而所有这些进步都会产生涟漪效应，惠及所有工人。
If workers have basic protections and decent wages, then they're better customers for your business. I believe every worker should have basic protections and rights. So it's in the text, in black and white -- TPP countries commit to recognizing freedom of association and the right to collectively bargain -- which means that, for the first time, a government like Vietnam has agreed to let its workers form independent units. And that's progress. 如果工人有基本的保护和体面的工资，那么他们就会成为你们企业更好的客户。我相信每个工人都应该享有基本的保护和权利。所以协定文本中白纸黑字地写着——跨太平洋伙伴关系协定成员国承诺承认结社自由和集体谈判权——这意味着，像越南这样的政府首次同意允许其工人组建独立组织。这就是进步。
Around the world, and here in the Asia Pacific, we still see abuses that are abhorrent and unacceptable, where men, women and children are sold to traffickers or tricked into forced labor. They toil, day after day, in dangerous conditions that can turn deadly. And this is not "labor" -- this is akin to modern slavery. It has to stop. TPP helps fight this kind of forced labor with internationally recognized labor rights -- prohibitions against forced labor; against child labor; against employment discrimination, including against women. 在世界各地，在亚太地区，我们仍然看到令人憎恶和不可接受的暴行：男人、女人和儿童被人口贩子贩卖，或被骗从事强迫劳动。他们日复一日地在可能致命的危险条件下辛劳。这不是"劳动"——这类似于现代奴隶制。这种现象必须停止。跨太平洋伙伴关系协定通过国际公认的劳工权利来打击这种强迫劳动——禁止强迫劳动；禁止童工；禁止就业歧视，包括对妇女的歧视。
TPP requires acceptable work conditions, such as a minimum wage, fair hours of work, and workplace safety. And meanwhile, Malaysia, Vietnam and Brunei have committed to specific, concrete reforms to reach these high standards. Change will not happen overnight. But with TPP, hundreds of millions of workers will now be covered by higher, enforceable labor standards. That is progress. 跨太平洋伙伴关系协定要求可接受的工作条件，如最低工资、公平工作时间和工作场所安全。与此同时，马来西亚、越南和文莱已承诺进行具体、切实的改革，以达到这些高标准。改变不会在一夜之间发生。但有了跨太平洋伙伴关系协定，数亿工人现在将受到更高、可执行的劳工标准的保护。这就是进步。
Around the world, and here in the Asia Pacific, the cancer of corruption is a daily indignity. Having to pay a bribe just to start a business or go to school or get a job steals money from workers and families and businesses -- and it is a violation of human rights, and it is a bad strategy for development. Corruption drains billions of dollars that could be used to improve the lives of citizens. Imagine the schools and hospitals and roads and bridges that could be built with that money -- investments that would make countries more competitive and more prosperous. 在世界各地，在亚太地区，腐败这一顽疾是一种日常的屈辱。仅仅为了创业、上学或找工作而不得不行贿，这偷走了工人、家庭和企业的钱——这是对人权的侵犯，也是一种糟糕的发展策略。腐败抽走了本可用于改善公民生活的数十亿美元。想象一下，用这些钱可以建多少学校、医院、道路和桥梁——这些投资将使国家更具竞争力、更加繁荣。
And that's why TPP includes the strongest anti-corruption and transparency standards of any trade agreement in history. It requires countries to have laws against corruption -- including making it a crime to bribe a public official -- and it requires countries to enforce those laws. So TPP encourages rule of law and stronger, more effective and more accountable governance. That is progress. 这就是为什么跨太平洋伙伴关系协定包含了有史以来所有贸易协定中最有力的反腐败和透明度标准。它要求各国制定反腐败法律——包括将贿赂公职人员定为犯罪——并要求各国执行这些法律。因此，跨太平洋伙伴关系协定促进法治和更强大、更有效、更负责任的治理。这就是进步。
Around the world, including in the United States, and here in the Asia Pacific, rising economic inequality holds back economies and undermines the cohesiveness of our societies and our political systems. Globally, countless millions barely survive on one U.S. dollar and 25 cents a day. That's an affront to human dignity. I've made combating economic inequality and creating more opportunity for my fellow Americans a focus of my presidency. And the world recently committed to new Sustainable Development Goals, so that we can continue to push to eradicate the injustice of extreme poverty. 在世界各地，包括在美国，也包括在亚太地区，日益严重的经济不平等阻碍了经济发展，破坏了我们社会和政治制度的凝聚力。在全球范围内，无数人每天仅靠一点二五美元勉强维生。这是对人类尊严的冒犯。我将打击经济不平等、为美国同胞创造更多机会作为我总统任期的重点。而国际社会最近承诺了新的可持续发展目标，以便我们能够继续推动消除极端贫困这一不公正现象。
One of the best ways to do that is with economic growth that is broad-based and inclusive -- that lifts up the many and raises living standards -- and by helping developing nations sell more of their goods to the world. That's what TPP does. It's designed to help promote development that is sustainable, that improves food security and that reduces poverty. And that is progress. 实现这一目标的最佳途径之一是实现基础广泛、包容各方的经济增长——让多数人受益，提高生活水平——并帮助发展中国家向世界销售更多商品。这正是跨太平洋伙伴关系协定的作用。它旨在帮助促进可持续发展，改善粮食安全，减少贫困。这就是进步。
And around the world, as well as here in the Asia Pacific, economic progress has too often come at the expense of the environment. For too long, the myth persisted that we had to choose between the two. But facts don't lie. In the United States, we have cleaner air and cleaner water compared to decades ago, even as our economy has grown several times over. The international community took steps to repair the ozone layer even as global growth lifted millions of people from poverty into the middle class. We have proven that we can grow our economies and protect our planet. 在世界各地，以及亚太地区，经济进步往往是以环境为代价的。长期以来，一直存在一种迷思，认为我们必须在两者之间做出选择。但事实不会说谎。在美国，与几十年前相比，我们的空气更清洁了，水更清洁了，而我们的经济却增长了数倍。国际社会采取措施修复臭氧层，与此同时，全球经济增长使数百万人摆脱贫困，步入中产阶级。我们已经证明，我们可以在发展经济的同时保护我们的星球。
And that's why TPP includes the strongest environmental standards in history -- specific provisions to combat wildlife trafficking, illegal logging that worsens deforestation, illegal fishing that endangers our oceans and our fisheries. That is progress. 这就是为什么跨太平洋伙伴关系协定包含了有史以来最有力的环境标准——具体条款旨在打击野生动物贩运、加剧森林砍伐的非法伐木、危及我们海洋和渔业的非法捕捞。这就是进步。
The reforms and changes I've described won't happen overnight. TPP has to be adopted; it has to be implemented. Countries and companies will be adapting to these new standards and these new reforms. And it's going to take time. We're ready to partner with all of them and help them as they up their game. And this brings me to another way that TPP is different and better than many past agreements. 我所描述的改革和变化不会在一夜之间发生。跨太平洋伙伴关系协定必须获得通过；必须得到实施。各国和企业将逐步适应这些新标准和新改革。而这需要时间。我们准备与所有国家合作，在它们提升水平的过程中提供帮助。这就引出了跨太平洋伙伴关系协定与过去许多协定的另一个不同和优越之处。
The standards we've described -- that I've described are actually enforceable. TPP has teeth, strong provisions for monitoring. And we're going to be vigilant to make sure countries fulfill their commitments. If they don't, we will take action. If a TPP country violates their responsibilities, there are consequences and real penalties. For the sake of our workers and their families and the hopes they have for the future, we've got to make sure that we're delivering on the promises that we're making today. 我所描述的这些标准——实际上是可执行的。跨太平洋伙伴关系协定是有牙齿的，有强有力的监督条款。我们将保持警惕，确保各国履行承诺。如果它们不履行，我们将采取行动。如果一个跨太平洋伙伴关系协定成员国违反了其责任，将会有后果和真正的惩罚。为了我们的工人、他们的家庭以及他们对未来的希望，我们必须确保我们今天做出的承诺能够兑现。
So the bottom line is that, as significant as it is, the Trans-Pacific Partnership represents more than just the additional goods we'll trade, or even the new economic partnerships that we'll forge and the jobs it will support. TPP sends a powerful message across this region -- across the Asia Pacific. It says that America's foreign policy rebalance to the Asia Pacific will continue on every front. It says that the United States will keep its commitments to allies and partners, and that we are here to stay and that you can count on us. 因此，归根结底，尽管《跨太平洋伙伴关系协定》意义重大，但它所代表的不仅仅是我们将进行更多的贸易，甚至不仅仅是我们将建立新的经济伙伴关系和创造就业机会。跨太平洋伙伴关系协定向整个地区——整个亚太地区——发出了一个强有力的信息。它表明，美国的亚太再平衡外交政策将在各条战线上继续推进。它表明，美国将信守对盟友和伙伴的承诺，我们将继续存在，你们可以信赖我们。
And TPP says, most of all, that Americans and people across this region stand together for a shared vision of a future that is more peaceful and more secure and that upholds the universal rights of every human being. 最重要的是，跨太平洋伙伴关系协定表明，美国人民和这一地区的人民共同站在一起，追求一个更加和平、更加安全、维护每一个人普世权利的共同未来愿景。
This is about the father, the mother, the children, crammed onto factory floors who deserve their dignity and humane working conditions. It's about the farmers who want to sell more of their crops and boost their incomes. It's about the workers on the assembly line who are ready to build more cars because new markets await. And it's about companies like yours -- but also the small business owner who's ready to export more products and hire more workers, and the entrepreneur who believes that her new idea could be the spark that ignites a new industry or changes the world. 这关乎那些挤在工厂车间里的父亲、母亲和孩子们，他们应享有尊严和人道的工作条件。这关乎那些希望销售更多农作物、增加收入的农民。这关乎那些准备生产更多汽车的装配线上的工人，因为新的市场在等着他们。这也关乎像你们这样的企业——同时也关乎那些准备出口更多产品、雇佣更多工人的小企业主，以及那些相信自己的新想法可能成为点燃新产业或改变世界的火花的创业者。
That's the progress -- the opportunity, the growth, the innovations -- that we can unleash. That's why I'm so optimistic about our shared future. That's why I'm grateful for our work together. That's why the nations and people of this region will always have a friend and partner in the United States of America. 这就是我们能够释放的进步——机遇、增长、创新。这就是我对我们共同的未来如此乐观的原因。这就是我对我们的合作心存感激的原因。这就是为什么这一地区的国家和人民将永远拥有美利坚合众国这个朋友和伙伴。
Thank you very much, everybody. 非常感谢大家。
