Good afternoon, everybody. I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday weekend -- especially our men and women in uniform. This Fourth of July we were honored to once again welcome some of our incredible troops and their families to share Fourth of July and fireworks at the White House. It was another chance for us, on behalf of the American people, to express our gratitude for their extraordinary service around the world every day. 各位下午好。我希望每个人都度过了一个愉快的假期周末——尤其是我们的军人将士们。这个独立日，我们有幸再次邀请一些杰出的军人及其家属来到白宫，共同庆祝独立日并观赏烟花表演。这是我们代表美国人民，再次向他们在全球各地日复一日的卓越奉献表达感激之情的机会。
And that includes the work that brings me here today -- our mission to degrade and ultimately destroy the terrorist group ISIL. This is a cause, a coalition, that's united countries across the globe -- some 60 nations, including Arab partners. Our comprehensive strategy against ISIL is harnessing all elements of American power, across our government -- military, intelligence, diplomatic, economic, development and perhaps most importantly, the power of our values. 这其中就包括我今天来到这里的原因——我们削弱并最终摧毁"伊斯兰国"恐怖组织的使命。这是一项凝聚了全球各国的事业、一个团结了全球各国的联盟——约60个国家，包括阿拉伯伙伴国。我们打击"伊斯兰国"的综合战略正在动用美国政府各方面的力量——军事、情报、外交、经济、发展，以及也许最重要的——我们价值观的力量。
Last month, I ordered additional actions in support of our strategy. I just met with my national security team as part of our regular effort to assess our efforts -- what's working and what we can do better. Secretary Carter, Chairman Dempsey, I want to thank you and your team for welcoming us and for your leadership, including General Austin who's leading the military campaign. And I want to summarize briefly where we stand. 上个月，我下令采取更多行动以支持我们的战略。我刚刚与我的国家安全团队举行了会议，这是我们定期评估工作的一部分——哪些行之有效，哪些可以做得更好。卡特部长、邓普西主席，我要感谢你们和你们的团队接待我们，感谢你们的领导，也感谢正在指挥这场军事行动的奥斯汀将军。下面我简要介绍一下我们目前的进展。
I want to start by repeating what I've said since the beginning. This will not be quick. This is a long-term campaign. ISIL is opportunistic and it is nimble. In many places in Syria and Iraq, including urban areas, it's dug in among innocent civilian populations. It will take time to root them out -- and doing so must be the job of local forces on the ground, with training and air support from our coalition. 首先，我想重申我从一开始就说过的话。这不会一蹴而就。这是一场长期行动。"伊斯兰国"善于投机取巧，行动灵活。在叙利亚和伊拉克的许多地方，包括城市地区，他们蛰伏在无辜的平民之中。将他们根除需要时间——而这必须由当地地面部队来完成，我们的联盟提供训练和空中支援。
As with any military effort, there will be periods of progress, but there are also going to be some setbacks -- as we've seen with ISIL's gains in Ramadi in Iraq and central and southern Syria. But today, it's also important for us to recognize the progress that's been made. 与任何军事行动一样，会有取得进展的时期，也会有遭遇挫折的时候——正如我们看到的，"伊斯兰国"在伊拉克拉马迪以及叙利亚中部和南部取得了一些进展。但今天，我们也必须认识到已经取得的进展。
Our coalition has now hit ISIL with more than 5,000 airstrikes. We've taken out thousands of fighting positions, tanks, vehicles, bomb factories, and training camps. We've eliminated thousands of fighters, including senior ISIL commanders. And over the past year, we've seen that when we have an effective partner on the ground, ISIL can be pushed back. 我们的联盟已对"伊斯兰国"发动了5000多次空袭。我们摧毁了数千个战斗阵地、坦克、车辆、炸弹工厂和训练营。我们消灭了数千名武装分子，包括"伊斯兰国"的高级指挥官。在过去一年里，我们看到，当我们在地面上有有效的合作伙伴时，"伊斯兰国"是可以被击退的。
In Iraq, ISIL lost at the Mosul Dam. ISIL lost at Mount Sinjar. ISIL has lost repeatedly across Kirkuk Province. ISIL lost at Tikrit. Altogether, ISIL has lost more than a quarter of the populated areas that it had seized in Iraq. In Syria, ISIL lost at Kobani. It's recently endured losses across northern Syria, including the key city of Tal Abyad, denying ISIL a vital supply route to Raqqa, its base of operations in Syria. 在伊拉克，"伊斯兰国"在摩苏尔大坝被击败。"伊斯兰国"在辛贾尔山被击败。"伊斯兰国"在基尔库克省屡遭败绩。"伊斯兰国"在提克里特被击败。总的来说，"伊斯兰国"已经失去了其在伊拉克占领的超过四分之一的人口密集地区。在叙利亚，"伊斯兰国"在科巴尼被击败。最近它在叙利亚北部多地遭遇损失，包括关键城市泰勒艾卜耶德，这切断了"伊斯兰国"通往其叙利亚大本营拉卡的重要补给线。
So these are reminders that ISIL's strategic weaknesses are real. ISIL is surrounded by countries and communities committed to its destruction. It has no air force; our coalition owns the skies. ISIL is backed by no nation. It relies on fear, sometimes executing its own disillusioned fighters. Its unrestrained brutality often alienates those under its rule, creating new enemies. In short, ISIL's recent losses in both Syria and Iraq prove that ISIL can and will be defeated. 这些都提醒我们，"伊斯兰国"的战略弱点是真实存在的。"伊斯兰国"被致力于消灭它的国家和社区所包围。它没有空军；天空掌握在我们联盟手中。"伊斯兰国"没有任何国家支持。它依靠恐惧统治，有时甚至处决自己那些不再抱幻想的武装分子。其肆无忌惮的暴行常常使其统治下的民众离心离德，从而树敌更多。简而言之，"伊斯兰国"最近在叙利亚和伊拉克的失利证明，"伊斯兰国"能够而且终将被击败。
Indeed, we're intensifying our efforts against ISIL's base in Syria. Our airstrikes will continue to target the oil and gas facilities that fund so much of their operations. We're going after the ISIL leadership and infrastructure in Syria -- the heart of ISIL that pumps funds and propaganda to people around the world. 事实上，我们正在加大对"伊斯兰国"叙利亚大本营的打击力度。我们的空袭将继续打击为其大部分行动提供资金的石油和天然气设施。我们正在打击"伊斯兰国"在叙利亚的领导层和基础设施——那是"伊斯兰国"向世界各地输送资金和宣传的心脏。
Partnering with other countries -- sharing more information, strengthening laws and border security -- allows us to work to stem the flow of foreign fighters to Syria as well as Iraq, and to stem, obviously, the flow of those fighters back into our own countries. This continues to be a challenge, and, working together, all our nations are going to need to do more, but we're starting to see some progress. 与其他国家开展合作——共享更多信息、加强法律和边境安全——使我们能够努力遏制外国战斗人员流向叙利亚和伊拉克，当然也包括遏制这些战斗人员回流到我们各自的国家。这仍然是一项挑战，通过共同努力，我们所有国家都需要做得更多，但我们已经开始看到一些进展。
We'll continue cracking down on ISIL's illicit finance around the world. By the way, if Congress really wants to help in this effort, they can confirm Mr. Adam Szubin, our nominee for Treasury Under Secretary to lead this effort. This is a vital position to our counterterrorism efforts. Nobody suggests Mr. Szubin is not qualified. He's highly qualified. Unfortunately, his nomination has been languishing up on the Hill, and we need the Senate to confirm him as soon as possible. 我们将继续在全球范围内打击"伊斯兰国"的非法融资。顺便说一句，如果国会真的想在这方面提供帮助，他们可以批准亚当·苏宾先生的任命——他是我们提名的财政部副部长，负责领导这项工作。这对我们的反恐努力至关重要。没有人说苏宾先生不合格。他非常有资历。不幸的是，他的提名在国会山上一直被搁置，我们需要参议院尽快确认他的任命。
Meanwhile, we continue to ramp up our training and support of local forces that are fighting ISIL on the ground. As I've said before, this aspect of our strategy was moving too slowly. But the fall of Ramadi has galvanized the Iraqi government. So, with the additional steps I ordered last month, we're speeding up training of Iraqi forces, including volunteers from Sunni tribes in Anbar Province. 与此同时，我们继续加强对在地面上与"伊斯兰国"作战的当地部队的训练和支持。正如我之前所说，我们战略的这一方面进展太慢了。但拉马迪的陷落刺激了伊拉克政府。因此，通过我上个月下令采取的额外措施，我们正在加快训练伊拉克安全部队，包括来自安巴尔省逊尼派部落的志愿者。
More Sunni volunteers are coming forward. Some are already being trained, and they can be a new force against ISIL. We continue to accelerate the delivery of critical equipment, including anti-tank weapons, to Iraqi security forces, including the Peshmerga and tribal fighters. And I made it clear to my team that we will do more to train and equip the moderate opposition in Syria. 越来越多的逊尼派志愿者站出来。一些人已经在接受训练，他们可以成为打击"伊斯兰国"的新力量。我们继续加快向伊拉克安全部队——包括库尔德自由斗士和部落战士——运送关键装备，包括反坦克武器。我已向我的团队明确表示，我们将加大对叙利亚温和反对派的训练和装备支持。
Now, all this said, our strategy recognizes that no amount of military force will end the terror that is ISIL unless it's matched by a broader effort -- political and economic -- that addresses the underlying conditions that have allowed ISIL to gain traction. They have filled a void, and we have to make sure that as we push them out that void is filled. 话虽如此，我们的战略认识到，再多的军事力量也无法终结"伊斯兰国"的恐怖主义，除非有更广泛的努力——政治和经济的努力——来解决使"伊斯兰国"得以滋生的深层条件。他们填补了一个真空，我们必须确保在将他们赶出去的同时，这个真空会被填补上。
So, as Iraqi cities and towns are liberated from ISIL, we're working with Iraq and the United Nations to help communities rebuild the security, services and governance that they need. We continue to support the efforts of Prime Minister Abadi to forge an inclusive and effective Iraqi government that unites all the people of Iraq -- Shia, Sunnis, Kurds and all minority communities. 因此，随着伊拉克城市和城镇从"伊斯兰国"手中解放出来，我们正与伊拉克和联合国合作，帮助社区重建所需的安全、服务和治理。我们继续支持阿巴迪总理努力组建一个包容、有效的伊拉克政府，团结全体伊拉克人民——什叶派、逊尼派、库尔德人以及所有少数族裔社区。
In Syria, the only way that the civil war will end -- and in a way so that the Syrian people can unite against ISIL -- is an inclusive political transition to a new government, without Bashar Assad -- a government that serves all Syrians. I discussed this with our Gulf Cooperation Council partners at Camp David and during my recent call with President Putin. I made it clear the United States will continue to work for such a transition. 在叙利亚，内战结束的唯一途径——也是叙利亚人民能够团结起来对抗"伊斯兰国"的唯一途径——是实现包容性的政治过渡，建立一个没有巴沙尔·阿萨德的新政府——一个为所有叙利亚人服务的政府。我在戴维营与海湾合作委员会伙伴讨论了这个问题，最近我与普京总统通电话时也谈到了这一点。我明确表示，美国将继续为实现这样的过渡而努力。
And a glimmer of good news is I think an increasing recognition on the part of all the players in the region that given the extraordinary threat that ISIL poses it is important for us to work together, as opposed to at cross-purposes, to make sure that an inclusive Syrian government exists. 一线希望是，我认为该地区所有各方都越来越认识到，鉴于"伊斯兰国"构成的非凡威胁，我们必须齐心协力，而不是相互拆台，以确保建立一个具有包容性的叙利亚政府。
While the focus of our discussions today was on Iraq and Syria, ISIL and its ideology also obviously pose a grave threat beyond the region. In recent weeks we've seen deadly attacks in Tunisia, Kuwait and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula. We see a growing ISIL presence in Libya and attempts to establish footholds across North Africa, the Middle East, the Caucasus, and Southeast Asia. We've seen attacks in Ottawa, Sydney, France and Copenhagen. 虽然我们今天讨论的重点是伊拉克和叙利亚，但"伊斯兰国"及其意识形态显然也对该地区以外构成严重威胁。最近几周，我们在突尼斯、科威特和埃及西奈半岛看到了致命袭击。我们看到"伊斯兰国"在利比亚的势力不断壮大，并试图在北非、中东、高加索和东南亚建立据点。我们在渥太华、悉尼、法国和哥本哈根都看到了袭击事件。
So I've called on the international community to unite against this scourge of violent extremism. In this fight, the United States continues to lead. When necessary to prevent attacks against our nation, we'll take direct action against terrorists. We'll continue to also partner with nations from Afghanistan to Nigeria to build up their security forces. We're going to work day and night with allies and partners to disrupt terrorist networks and thwart attacks, and to smother nascent ISIL cells that may be trying to develop in other parts of the world. 因此，我呼吁国际社会团结起来，抗击暴力极端主义这一祸患。在这场斗争中，美国将继续发挥领导作用。在必要时，为了防止针对我们国家的袭击，我们将对恐怖分子采取直接行动。我们还将继续与从阿富汗到尼日利亚的各国合作，加强它们的安全部队。我们将夜以继日地与盟友和伙伴合作，摧毁恐怖主义网络，挫败袭击图谋，并扼杀可能试图在世界其他地区发展的"伊斯兰国"新生细胞。
This also includes remaining vigilant in protecting against attacks here in the homeland. Now, I think it's important for us to recognize the threat of violent extremism is not restricted to any one community. Here in the United States, we've seen all kinds of homegrown terrorism. And tragically, recent history reminds us how even a single individual motivated by a hateful ideology with access to dangerous weapons can inflict horrendous harm on Americans. 这还包括保持警惕，防止本土遭受袭击。我认为，我们必须认识到，暴力极端主义的威胁并不局限于任何一个社群。在美国本土，我们已经见过各种各样的本土恐怖主义。可悲的是，最近的历史提醒我们，哪怕是一个被仇恨意识形态驱使、能接触到危险武器的个人，也能对美国人造成可怕的伤害。
So our efforts to counter violent extremism must not target any one community because of their faith or background, including patriotic Muslim Americans who are our partners in keeping our country safe. 因此，我们打击暴力极端主义的努力绝不能因为任何人的信仰或背景而针对某个特定社群，包括爱国的穆斯林裔美国人——他们是我们维护国家安全的伙伴。
That said, we also have to acknowledge that ISIL has been particularly effective at reaching out to and recruiting vulnerable people around the world, including here in the United States. And they are targeting Muslim communities around the world. Numerous individuals have been arrested across the country for plotting attacks or attempting to join ISIL in Syria and Iraq. Two men apparently inspired by ISIL opened fire in Garland, Texas. 话虽如此，我们也必须承认，"伊斯兰国"在接触和招募世界各地的弱势群体方面特别有效，包括在美国本土。他们正在把目标对准世界各地的穆斯林社群。全美已有多人因密谋袭击或试图前往叙利亚和伊拉克加入"伊斯兰国"而被捕。两名显然受"伊斯兰国"煽动的男子在得克萨斯州加兰开枪。
And because of our success over the years in improving our homeland security, we've made it harder for terrorists to carry out large-scale attacks like 9/11 here at home. 由于我们多年来在改善国土安全方面取得的成功，恐怖分子在美国本土发动类似9/11那样的大规模袭击已经变得更加困难。
But the threat of lone wolves or small cells of terrorists is complex -- it's harder to detect and harder to prevent. It's one of the most difficult challenges that we face. And preventing these kinds of attacks on American soil is going to require sustained effort. 但"独狼"或小型恐怖组织的威胁是复杂的——更难发现，也更难预防。这是我们面临的最困难的挑战之一。防止美国本土发生这类袭击需要持续不懈的努力。
So I just want to repeat, the good news is that because of extraordinary efforts from law enforcement as well as our military intelligence, we are doing a better job at preventing any large-scale attacks on the homeland. On the other hand, the small, individual lone wolf attacks or small cells become harder to detect and they become more sophisticated, using new technologies. And that means that we're going to have to pick up our game to prevent these attacks. 所以我想重申，好消息是，由于执法部门以及我们军事情报部门的非凡努力，我们在防止本土遭受大规模袭击方面做得越来越好。另一方面，小型的、个人的"独狼"式袭击或小型恐怖组织更难被发现，而且它们利用新技术变得更加复杂。这意味着我们必须提升能力来防范这些袭击。
It's also true why, ultimately, in order for us to defeat terrorist groups like ISIL and al Qaeda it's going to also require us to discredit their ideology -- the twisted thinking that draws vulnerable people into their ranks. As I've said before -- and I know our military leaders agree -- this broader challenge of countering violent extremism is not simply a military effort. Ideologies are not defeated with guns; they're defeated by better ideas -- a more attractive and more compelling vision. 同样千真万确的是，归根结底，要击败"伊斯兰国"和"基地"组织这样的恐怖团体，我们还需要瓦解他们的意识形态——那种将弱势群体拉入其阵营的扭曲思维。正如我之前所说——我知道我们的军事领导人也同意——打击暴力极端主义这一更广泛的挑战不仅仅是军事行动。意识形态不会被枪支击败；它们会被更好的理念击败——一种更有吸引力、更令人信服的愿景。
So the United States will continue to do our part, by working with partners to counter ISIL's hateful propaganda, especially online. We'll constantly reaffirm through words and deeds that we will never be at war with Islam. We're fighting terrorists who distort Islam and whose victims are mostly Muslims. 因此，美国将继续尽我们的一份力量，与伙伴合作，打击"伊斯兰国"的仇恨宣传，尤其是在网络上。我们将通过言行不断重申，我们绝不会与伊斯兰教为敌。我们打击的是歪曲伊斯兰教的恐怖分子，他们的受害者大多数是穆斯林。
But around the world, we're also going to insist on partnering with Muslim communities as they seek security, prosperity and the dignity that they deserve. And we're going to expect those communities to step up in terms of pushing back as hard as they can, in conjunction with other people of goodwill, against these hateful ideologies in order to discredit them more effectively, particularly when it comes to what we're teaching young people. 但在世界各地，我们也将坚持与穆斯林社群建立伙伴关系，因为他们追求安全、繁荣和应有的尊严。我们期望这些社群站出来，与其他善意的人们一道，尽其所能地反击这些仇恨意识形态，以便更有效地瓦解它们，尤其是在我们对年轻人的教育方面。
And this larger battle for hearts and minds is going to be a generational struggle. It's ultimately not going to be won or lost by the United States alone. It will be decided by the countries and the communities that terrorists like ISIL target. 这场更大规模的思想之战将是一场代际斗争。归根结底，这场斗争的胜负不会仅凭美国一己之力。它将由"伊斯兰国"等恐怖组织所针对的国家和社群来决定。
It's going to be up to Muslim communities, including scholars and clerics, to keep rejecting warped interpretations of Islam, and to protect their sons and daughters from recruitment. It will be up to all people -- leaders and citizens -- to reject the sectarianism that so often fuels the resentments and conflicts upon which terrorists are currently thriving. It will be up to governments to address the political and economic grievances that terrorists exploit. 这将取决于穆斯林社群，包括学者和神职人员，继续拒绝对伊斯兰教的歪曲解读，保护他们的儿女不被招募。这将取决于所有人——领袖和公民——拒绝宗派主义，因为宗派主义常常助长怨恨和冲突，而恐怖分子目前正借此茁壮成长。这将取决于各国政府解决恐怖分子所利用的政治和经济不满。
Nations that empower citizens to decide their own destiny, that uphold human rights for all their people, that invest in education and create opportunities for their young people -- those can be powerful antidotes to extremist ideologies. Those are the countries that will find a true partner in the United States. 那些赋予公民决定自己命运的权力、维护全体人民的人权、投资教育并为年轻人创造机会的国家——这些国家可以成为极端主义意识形态的强力解药。这样的国家才能成为美国真正的伙伴。
In closing, let me note that this Fourth of July we celebrated 239 years of American independence. Across more than two centuries, we've faced much bigger, much more formidable challenges than this -- Civil War, a Great Depression, fascism, communism, terrible natural disasters, 9/11. And every time, every generation, our nation has risen to the moment. We don't simply endure; we emerge stronger than before. And that will be the case here. 最后，我想指出，这个独立日我们庆祝了美国建国239周年。在两个多世纪的历程中，我们曾面临过比这更大、更艰巨的挑战——内战、大萧条、法西斯主义、共产主义、可怕的自然灾害、9/11事件。每一次，每一代人，我们的国家都挺身而出，迎接挑战。我们不仅仅是挺过来了；我们变得更加强大。这一次也将如此。
Our mission to destroy ISIL and to keep our country safe will be difficult. It will take time. There will be setbacks as well as progress. But as President and Commander-in-Chief, I want to say to all our men and women in uniform who are serving in this operation -- our pilots, the crews on the ground, our personnel not only on the ground but at sea, our intelligence teams and our diplomatic teams -- I want to thank you. We are proud of you, and you have my total confidence that you're going to succeed. 我们摧毁"伊斯兰国"、保卫国家安全的使命将是艰难的。这需要时间。会有挫折，也会有进展。但作为总统和三军统帅，我想对所有参与这次行动的军人将士说——我们的飞行员、地面工作人员、不仅在地面而且在海上服役的人员、我们的情报团队和外交团队——我要感谢你们。我们为你们感到骄傲，我完全相信你们一定会取得成功。
To the American people, I want to say we will continue to be vigilant. We will persevere. And just as we have for more than two centuries, we will ultimately prevail. 我想对美国人民说，我们将继续保持警惕。我们将坚持不懈。正如我们两个多世纪以来所做的那样，我们终将取得胜利。
Thank you very much, everybody. And thanks to the team up on the stage here with me -- they're doing an outstanding job. 非常感谢大家。也感谢和我一起站在台上的团队——他们做得非常出色。
Question: Take a question? 记者提问：能回答问题吗？
President Obama: You know what, I will take a question. Go ahead. 奥巴马总统：这样吧，我回答一个问题。请说。
Question: Every servicemember who is listening to you today, Mr. President, is wondering, are you going to veto the defense bills that are going to pay me? What is your latest thinking on that? Because we've heard secondhand through statements of policy that your advisors would threaten a veto. What's your take, sir? Would you veto the appropriations bills? 记者提问：总统先生，今天所有在收听您讲话的军人都在想，您会不会否决给我们发军饷的国防法案？您对此最新的想法是什么？因为我们从政策声明中间接了解到，您的顾问们威胁要否决。先生，您怎么看？您会否决拨款法案吗？
President Obama: Our men and women are going to get paid. And if you'll note that I've now been President for six and a half years and we've had some wrangling with Congress in the past -- our servicemembers haven't missed a paycheck. 奥巴马总统：我们的军人将士一定会拿到军饷。你们可以注意到，我已经担任了六年半总统，过去我们与国会有过一些争执——但我们的军人从来没有领不到过薪水。
But what is also important in terms of our budget is making sure that we are not short-changing all the elements of American power that allow us to secure the nation and to project our power around the world. So what we're not going to do is to accept a budget that short-changes our long-term requirements for new technologies, for readiness. We're not going to eat our seed corn by devoting too much money on things we don't need now and robbing ourselves of the capacity to make sure that we're prepared for future threats. 但在预算问题上同样重要的是，要确保我们没有削减构成美国力量、使我们能够保卫国家安全并在全球投射力量的所有要素。因此，我们不会接受一份削减我们在新技术、战备状态等方面长期需求的预算。我们不会把钱过多地花在现在不需要的东西上，从而消耗我们的储备，剥夺我们应对未来威胁的能力——这种杀鸡取卵的事我们不会做。
I've worked very closely with the Chairman and the members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to develop a budget that is realistic and that looks out into the future and says this is how we're going to handle any possible contingency. And we can't do that if we've got a budget that short-changes vital operations and continues to fund things that are not necessary. 我与参谋长联席会议主席及成员密切合作，制定了一份切合实际、着眼未来的预算方案，明确了我们将如何应对任何可能的突发事件。如果我们的预算削减了关键行动的经费，却继续资助不必要的项目，那我们就做不到这一点。
We also have to remind ourselves that the reason we have the best military in the world is, first and foremost, because we've got the best troops in history. But it's also because we've got a strong economy, and we've got a well-educated population. And we've got an incredible research operation and universities that allow us to create new products that then can be translated into our military superiority around the world. We short-change those, we're going to be less secure. 我们还必须提醒自己，我们拥有世界上最好的军队，首要原因是我们拥有历史上最优秀的士兵。但这也是因为我们拥有强大的经济，我们拥有受过良好教育的民众。我们拥有令人惊叹的科研机构和大学，它们使我们能够创造新产品，进而转化为我们在全球的军事优势。削减这些投入，我们的安全就会受到影响。
So the way we have to look at this budget is to recognize that, A, we can't think short term, we've got to think long term; and B, part of our national security is making sure that we continue to have a strong economy and that we continue to make the investments that we need in things like education and research that are going to be vital for us to be successful long term. 因此，我们看待预算的方式必须认识到：第一，我们不能只看短期，必须着眼长远；第二，我们国家安全的一部分，在于确保我们继续拥有强大的经济，并继续在教育和研究等方面进行必要的投资——这些对我们的长期成功至关重要。
Question: As an Army reservist, I'm curious to know if you have any plans to send any more American troops overseas right now, any additional forces. 记者提问：作为一名陆军预备役军人，我想知道您目前是否有计划向海外派遣更多美军，增派兵力？
President Obama: There are no current plans to do so. That's not something that we currently discussed. I've always said that I'm going to do what's necessary to protect the homeland. 奥巴马总统：目前没有这样的计划。这不是我们目前讨论的内容。我一直说，为了保护本土安全，我会采取一切必要措施。
One of the principles that we all agree on, though, and I pressed folks pretty hard because in these conversations with my military advisors I want to make sure I'm getting blunt and uncensored advice. But in every one of the conversations that we've had, the strong consensus is that in order for us to succeed long-term in this fight against ISIL we have to develop local security forces that can sustain progress. 不过，我们都同意的一项原则是——我曾向各方施压，因为在与军事顾问的这些会谈中，我希望确保我得到的是直率、不加修饰、毫无保留的建议。但在我们每一次会谈中，强烈的共识是，要想在打击"伊斯兰国"的斗争中取得长期成功，我们必须培养能够维持进展的当地安全部队。
It is not enough for us to simply send in American troops to temporarily set back organizations like ISIL, but to then, as soon as we leave, see that void filled once again with extremists. It is going to be vital for us to make sure that we are preparing the kinds of local ground forces and security forces with our partners that can not only succeed against ISIL, but then sustain in terms of security and in terms of governance. 仅仅派遣美军暂时挫败"伊斯兰国"这样的组织是不够的，因为我们一离开，那个真空就会再次被极端分子填满。至关重要的是，我们必须确保与我们的伙伴一道，培养出当地的地面部队和安全部队，他们不仅能够击败"伊斯兰国"，而且能够在安全和治理方面持续下去。
Because if we try to do everything ourselves all across the Middle East, all across North Africa, we'll be playing Whack-a-Mole and there will be a whole lot of unintended consequences that ultimately make us less secure. 因为如果我们试图在整个中东、整个北非事事亲力亲为，我们就会在玩"打地鼠"游戏，而且会产生大量意想不到的后果，最终反而会让我们更不安全。
All right? Thank you. I didn't even plan to do this. You guys got two bonus questions. 好了吗？谢谢大家。我本来没打算回答问题的。你们赚了两个额外的问题。
