Today, after two years of negotiations, the United States, together with our international partners, has achieved something that decades of animosity has not -- a comprehensive, long-term deal with Iran that will prevent it from obtaining a nuclear weapon. 今天，经过两年的谈判，美国与我们的国际伙伴一道，达成了数十年来的敌对状态未能实现的成果——一项与伊朗达成的全面、长期的协议，将阻止伊朗获得核武器。
This deal demonstrates that American diplomacy can bring about real and meaningful change -- change that makes our country, and the world, safer and more secure. This deal is also in line with a tradition of American leadership. It's now more than 50 years since President Kennedy stood before the American people and said, "Let us never negotiate out of fear, but let us never fear to negotiate." He was speaking then about the need for discussions between the United States and the Soviet Union, which led to efforts to restrict the spread of nuclear weapons. 这项协议表明，美国的外交能够带来真实而有意义的变革——让我们的国家、让整个世界更加安全、更有保障的变革。这项协议也符合美国领导的传统。自肯尼迪总统站在美国人民面前说过"让我们永远不要出于恐惧而谈判，但也永远不要害怕谈判"这句话，至今已逾五十年。他当时谈论的是美苏之间开展对话的必要性，而那些对话最终推动了限制核武器扩散的努力。
In those days, the risk was a catastrophic nuclear war between two super powers. In our time, the risk is that nuclear weapons will spread to more and more countries, particularly in the Middle East, the most volatile region in our world. 在那个年代，风险是两个超级大国之间爆发灾难性的核战争。在我们这个时代，风险是核武器将扩散到越来越多的国家，尤其是在中东——这个世界上最动荡不安的地区。
Today, because America negotiated from a position of strength and principle, we have stopped the spread of nuclear weapons in this region. Because of this deal, the international community will be able to verify that the Islamic Republic of Iran will not develop a nuclear weapon. 今天，正因为美国从实力和原则的立场出发进行谈判，我们制止了核武器在这一地区的扩散。得益于这项协议，国际社会将能够核实伊朗伊斯兰共和国不会发展核武器。
This deal meets every single one of the bottom lines that we established when we achieved a framework earlier this spring. Every pathway to a nuclear weapon is cut off. And the inspection and transparency regime necessary to verify that objective will be put in place. Because of this deal, Iran will not produce the highly enriched uranium and weapons-grade plutonium that form the raw materials necessary for a nuclear bomb. 这项协议满足了我们在今年春天达成框架时确立的每一条底线。通往核武器的每一条途径都被切断。而用于核实这一目标所必需的检查与透明机制也将落实到位。得益于这项协议，伊朗将不会生产制造核弹所需的原材料——高浓缩铀和武器级钚。
Because of this deal, Iran will remove two-thirds of its installed centrifuges -- the machines necessary to produce highly enriched uranium for a bomb -- and store them under constant international supervision. Iran will not use its advanced centrifuges to produce enriched uranium for the next decade. Iran will also get rid of 98 percent of its stockpile of enriched uranium. 得益于这项协议，伊朗将拆除其三分之二已安装的离心机——即生产用于核弹的高浓缩铀所必需的机器——并将其置于持续的国际监督之下储存。在未来十年内，伊朗不得使用其先进离心机生产浓缩铀。伊朗还将处理掉其98%的浓缩铀库存。
To put that in perspective, Iran currently has a stockpile that could produce up to 10 nuclear weapons. Because of this deal, that stockpile will be reduced to a fraction of what would be required for a single weapon. This stockpile limitation will last for 15 years. 换个角度来看，伊朗目前的库存足以制造多达十枚核武器。得益于这项协议，这些库存将被削减至连制造一枚武器所需量的零头都不到。这一库存限制将持续十五年。
Because of this deal, Iran will modify the core of its reactor in Arak so that it will not produce weapons-grade plutonium. And it has agreed to ship the spent fuel from the reactor out of the country for the lifetime of the reactor. For at least the next 15 years, Iran will not build any new heavy-water reactors. 得益于这项协议，伊朗将改造其位于阿拉克的反应堆堆芯，使其不再生产武器级钚。伊朗还同意，在该反应堆的整个使用寿命期内，将反应堆产生的乏燃料运出境外。至少在未来十五年内，伊朗不得建造任何新的重水反应堆。
Because of this deal, we will, for the first time, be in a position to verify all of these commitments. That means this deal is not built on trust; it is built on verification. Inspectors will have 24/7 access to Iran's key nuclear facilities. 得益于这项协议，我们将首次有能力核实所有这些承诺。这意味着这项协议并非建立在信任之上，而是建立在核查之上。核查人员将全天候二十四小时不间断地进入伊朗的关键核设施。
Inspectors will have access to Iran's entire nuclear supply chain -- its uranium mines and mills, its conversion facility, and its centrifuge manufacturing and storage facilities. This ensures that Iran will not be able to divert materials from known facilities to covert ones. Some of these transparency measures will be in place for 25 years. 核查人员将有权进入伊朗整个核供应链——包括铀矿和铀厂、转化设施，以及离心机制造和储存设施。这确保了伊朗无法将材料从已知设施转移到秘密设施。其中一些透明措施将持续二十五年。
Because of this deal, inspectors will also be able to access any suspicious location. Put simply, the organization responsible for the inspections, the IAEA, will have access where necessary, when necessary. That arrangement is permanent. And the IAEA has also reached an agreement with Iran to get access that it needs to complete its investigation into the possible military dimensions of Iran's past nuclear research. 得益于这项协议，核查人员还将能够进入任何可疑地点。简而言之，负责核查的机构——国际原子能机构——将在必要时、必要的地点获得准入。这一安排是永久性的。国际原子能机构还与伊朗达成了一项协议，以获得完成其对伊朗过去核研究可能涉及军事维度调查所需的准入。
Finally, Iran is permanently prohibited from pursuing a nuclear weapon under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, which provided the basis for the international community's efforts to apply pressure on Iran. 最后，根据《不扩散核武器条约》，伊朗被永久禁止谋求核武器，而该条约正是国际社会对伊朗施压的依据。
As Iran takes steps to implement this deal, it will receive relief from the sanctions that we put in place because of Iran's nuclear program -- both America's own sanctions and sanctions imposed by the United Nations Security Council. This relief will be phased in. Iran must complete key nuclear steps before it begins to receive new sanctions relief. And over the course of the next decade, Iran must abide by the deal before additional sanctions are lifted, including five years for restrictions related to arms, and eight years for restrictions related to ballistic missiles. 随着伊朗采取措施落实这项协议，它将获得我们因伊朗核计划而实施的制裁的解除——包括美国自身的制裁以及联合国安理会施加的制裁。制裁解除将分阶段进行。伊朗必须完成关键的核步骤，才能开始获得新的制裁解除。在未来十年中，伊朗必须遵守协议，更多制裁才能逐步取消，其中包括与武器相关的限制将持续五年，与弹道导弹相关的限制将持续八年。
All of this will be memorialized and endorsed in a new United Nations Security Council resolution. And if Iran violates the deal, all of these sanctions will snap back into place. So there's a very clear incentive for Iran to follow through, and there are very real consequences for a violation. 所有这些都将在一项新的联合国安理会决议中得到确认和批准。如果伊朗违反协议，所有这些制裁都将自动恢复。因此，伊朗有非常明确的动机履行承诺，而违约也将面临切实的后果。
That's the deal. It has the full backing of the international community. Congress will now have an opportunity to review the details, and my administration stands ready to provide extensive briefings on how this will move forward. 这就是这项协议。它得到了国际社会的全力支持。国会现在将有机会审议细节，而我的政府随时准备就如何推进这一进程提供广泛的情况通报。
As the American people and Congress review the deal, it will be important to consider the alternative. Consider what happens in a world without this deal. Without this deal, there is no scenario where the world joins us in sanctioning Iran until it completely dismantles its nuclear program. Nothing we know about the Iranian government suggests that it would simply capitulate under that kind of pressure. And the world would not support an effort to permanently sanction Iran into submission. We put sanctions in place to get a diplomatic resolution, and that is what we have done. 在美国人民和国会审议这项协议之际，考虑另一种选择也很重要。想一想如果没有这项协议，世界会发生什么。没有这项协议，就不存在全世界与我们一道制裁伊朗直至其彻底拆除核计划的可能。我们对伊朗政府的了解表明，它不会在那种压力下轻易屈服。而世界也不会支持永久制裁伊朗直至其屈服的做法。我们实施制裁是为了获得外交解决，而这正是我们已经做到的。
Without this deal, there would be no agreed-upon limitations for the Iranian nuclear program. Iran could produce, operate and test more and more centrifuges. Iran could fuel a reactor capable of producing plutonium for a bomb. And we would not have any of the inspections that allow us to detect a covert nuclear weapons program. In other words, no deal means no lasting constraints on Iran's nuclear program. 没有这项协议，伊朗核计划就不会有商定的限制。伊朗可以生产、运行和测试越来越多的离心机。伊朗可以为一座能够生产用于核弹的钚的反应堆提供燃料。而我们将不会拥有任何能够让我们发现秘密核武器计划的检查手段。换言之，没有协议就意味着对伊朗核计划没有持久的约束。
Such a scenario would make it more likely that other countries in the region would feel compelled to pursue their own nuclear programs, threatening a nuclear arms race in the most volatile region of the world. It would also present the United States with fewer and less effective options to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. 这样的局面将使该地区其他国家更有可能感到不得不发展自己的核计划，从而在世界上最动荡的地区引发核军备竞赛的威胁。这也将使美国阻止伊朗获得核武器的选择更少、效果更差。
I've been President and Commander-in-Chief for over six years now. Time and again, I have faced decisions about whether or not to use military force. It's the gravest decision that any President has to make. Many times, in multiple countries, I have decided to use force. And I will never hesitate to do so when it is in our national security interest. 我担任总统兼三军统帅已经六年多了。我一次又一次地面临着是否使用军事力量的决定。这是任何总统都必须做出的最重大的决定。我曾多次在多个国家决定使用武力。只要符合我们的国家安全利益，我将永远毫不犹豫地这样做。
I strongly believe that our national security interest now depends upon preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon -- which means that without a diplomatic resolution, either I or a future U.S. President would face a decision about whether or not to allow Iran to obtain a nuclear weapon or whether to use our military to stop it. 我坚信，我们当前的国家安全利益取决于阻止伊朗获得核武器——这意味着如果没有外交解决方案，无论是我还是未来的美国总统，都将面临一个决定：是允许伊朗获得核武器，还是动用我们的军事力量来阻止它。
Put simply, no deal means a greater chance of more war in the Middle East. Moreover, we give nothing up by testing whether or not this problem can be solved peacefully. If, in a worst-case scenario, Iran violates the deal, the same options that are available to me today will be available to any U.S. President in the future. And I have no doubt that 10 or 15 years from now, the person who holds this office will be in a far stronger position with Iran further away from a weapon and with the inspections and transparency that allow us to monitor the Iranian program. 简而言之，没有协议意味着中东爆发更多战争的可能性更大。此外，尝试通过和平方式解决这一问题，我们并不会损失什么。即使在最坏的情况下，伊朗违反了协议，我今天可用的所有选择，未来的任何美国总统也同样可用。我毫不怀疑，十到十五年后，当伊朗距离拥有武器更远，并且有了让我们能够监控伊朗核计划的检查和透明机制时，执掌这个职位的人将处于更加强有力的地位。
For this reason, I believe it would be irresponsible to walk away from this deal. But on such a tough issue, it is important that the American people and their representatives in Congress get a full opportunity to review the deal. After all, the details matter. And we've had some of the finest nuclear scientists in the world working through those details. And we're dealing with a country -- Iran -- that has been a sworn adversary of the United States for over 35 years. So I welcome a robust debate in Congress on this issue, and I welcome scrutiny of the details of this agreement. 因此，我认为放弃这项协议是不负责任的。但在如此棘手的问题上，重要的是美国人民及其在国会的代表有充分的机会来审议这项协议。毕竟，细节至关重要。我们已经让世界上一些最优秀的核科学家研究了这些细节。而我们正在打交道的国家——伊朗——三十五年来一直是美国的死敌。因此，我欢迎国会就这一问题展开激烈的辩论，我也欢迎对这项协议细节的审视。
But I will remind Congress that you don't make deals like this with your friends. We negotiated arms control agreements with the Soviet Union when that nation was committed to our destruction. And those agreements ultimately made us safer. 但我要提醒国会，你不会与你的朋友达成这样的协议。当年苏联一心要摧毁我们的时候，我们仍与苏联谈判达成了军备控制协议。而那些协议最终让我们更加安全。
I am confident that this deal will meet the national security interest of the United States and our allies. So I will veto any legislation that prevents the successful implementation of this deal. 我相信，这项协议将符合美国及其盟友的国家安全利益。因此，我将否决任何阻碍这项协议成功实施的立法。
We do not have to accept an inevitable spiral into conflict. And we certainly shouldn't seek it. And precisely because the stakes are so high, this is not the time for politics or posturing. Tough talk from Washington does not solve problems. Hard-nosed diplomacy, leadership that has united the world's major powers offers a more effective way to verify that Iran is not pursuing a nuclear weapon. 我们不必接受冲突不可避免地螺旋升级。我们当然也不应该寻求冲突。正因为利害关系如此重大，现在不是搞政治或摆姿态的时候。华盛顿的强硬言辞解决不了问题。务实的外交、团结了世界主要大国的领导，才是核实伊朗没有谋求核武器的更有效途径。
Now, that doesn't mean that this deal will resolve all of our differences with Iran. We share the concerns expressed by many of our friends in the Middle East, including Israel and the Gulf States, about Iran's support for terrorism and its use of proxies to destabilize the region. But that is precisely why we are taking this step -- because an Iran armed with a nuclear weapon would be far more destabilizing and far more dangerous to our friends and to the world. 当然，这并不意味着这项协议将解决我们与伊朗的所有分歧。我们与中东的许多友邦——包括以色列和海湾国家——一样，对伊朗支持恐怖主义以及利用代理人破坏地区稳定的行为感到关切。但这正是我们采取这一步骤的原因——因为一个拥有核武器的伊朗将更加具有破坏性，对我们的友邦和世界都更加危险。
Meanwhile, we will maintain our own sanctions related to Iran's support for terrorism, its ballistic missile program, and its human rights violations. We will continue our unprecedented efforts to strengthen Israel's security -- efforts that go beyond what any American administration has done before. And we will continue the work we began at Camp David to elevate our partnership with the Gulf States to strengthen their capabilities to counter threats from Iran or terrorist groups like ISIL. 与此同时，我们将维持与伊朗支持恐怖主义、其弹道导弹计划以及其侵犯人权行为相关的制裁。我们将继续我们前所未有的努力来加强以色列的安全——这些努力超越了以往任何一届美国政府的作为。我们将继续我们在戴维营启动的工作，深化与海湾国家的伙伴关系，以增强它们应对来自伊朗或伊斯兰国等恐怖组织威胁的能力。
However, I believe that we must continue to test whether or not this region, which has known so much suffering, so much bloodshed, can move in a different direction. 然而，我认为我们必须继续尝试，看看这个经历了如此多苦难、如此多流血的地区，能否朝着不同的方向前进。
Time and again, I have made clear to the Iranian people that we will always be open to engagement on the basis of mutual interests and mutual respect. Our differences are real and the difficult history between our nations cannot be ignored. But it is possible to change. 我一次又一次地向伊朗人民明确表示，我们将始终愿意在互利互尊的基础上开展接触。我们的分歧是真实存在的，我们两国之间艰难的历史也不容忽视。但改变是可能的。
The path of violence and rigid ideology, a foreign policy based on threats to attack your neighbors or eradicate Israel -- that's a dead end. A different path, one of tolerance and peaceful resolution of conflict, leads to more integration into the global economy, more engagement with the international community, and the ability of the Iranian people to prosper and thrive. 暴力和僵化意识形态的道路，以威胁攻击邻国或消灭以色列为基础的外交政策——那是一条死路。另一条道路，一条宽容与和平解决冲突的道路，将带来更多融入全球经济的机会、更多与国际社会的接触，以及伊朗人民繁荣发展的可能。
This deal offers an opportunity to move in a new direction. We should seize it. 这项协议提供了一个朝着新方向前进的机会。我们应该抓住它。
We have come a long way to reach this point -- decades of an Iranian nuclear program, many years of sanctions, and many months of intense negotiation. Today, I want to thank the members of Congress from both parties who helped us put in place the sanctions that have proven so effective, as well as the other countries who joined us in that effort. 我们走过了漫长的道路才走到今天——伊朗数十年的核计划，多年的制裁，以及数月紧张的谈判。今天，我要感谢两党中帮助我们建立起这些被证明行之有效的制裁的国会议员，以及加入我们这一努力的其他国家。
I want to thank our negotiating partners -- the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Russia, China, as well as the European Union -- for our unity in this effort, which showed that the world can do remarkable things when we share a vision of peacefully addressing conflicts. We showed what we can do when we do not split apart. 我要感谢我们的谈判伙伴——英国、法国、德国、俄罗斯、中国，以及欧盟——感谢我们在这一努力中的团结，这表明当我们拥有和平解决冲突的共同愿景时，世界能够成就非凡的事业。我们展示了，当我们不分裂时，我们能够做到什么。
And finally, I want to thank the American negotiating team. We had a team of experts working for several weeks straight on this, including our Secretary of Energy, Ernie Moniz. And I want to particularly thank John Kerry, our Secretary of State, who began his service to this country more than four decades ago when he put on our uniform and went off to war. He's now making this country safer through his commitment to strong, principled American diplomacy. 最后，我要感谢美国谈判团队。我们有一个专家团队为此连续工作了数周，其中包括我们的能源部长厄尼·莫尼兹。我要特别感谢我们的国务卿约翰·克里，他四十多年前穿上军装奔赴战场，开始了他对这个国家的服务。如今，他正通过致力于坚定而有原则的美国外交，让这个国家更加安全。
History shows that America must lead not just with our might, but with our principles. It shows we are stronger not when we are alone, but when we bring the world together. Today's announcement marks one more chapter in this pursuit of a safer and more helpful and more hopeful world. 历史表明，美国的领导不仅要靠我们的力量，更要靠我们的原则。历史表明，当我们团结世界时，我们才更加强大，而不是孤身一人。今天的宣布标志着我们追求一个更安全、更有益、更充满希望的世界的又一篇章。
Thank you. God bless you. And God bless the United States of America. 谢谢你们。上帝保佑你们。上帝保佑美利坚合众国。
