Hello, Oregon! Well, who arranged this day? Every time I come to Oregon this is what it looks like. Yeah! It never rains in Oregon, does it? 你们好，俄勒冈！这天气是谁安排的？每次我来俄勒冈都是这样。没错！俄勒冈从不下雨，对吧？
Audience: No! 观众：才不呢！
President Obama: Never. 奥巴马总统：从来不下。
Audience Member: Don't come to California. 观众成员：别来加利福尼亚。
President Obama: All right. Well, listen, it is wonderful to see all of you. First of all, please give Mark another round of applause for his hospitality. And thanks to everyone at Nike for hosting us today, here in "Federer Platz." You know, the White House is cool. We've got a basketball court -- actually, it's a tennis court that we repainted some lines -- when I came into office. So it's a combination basketball-tennis court. There is a putting green that President Eisenhower put in. Can you imagine, by the way, if I had put in a putting green? Things have changed. 奥巴马总统：好的。听着，见到大家我很高兴。首先，请再次为马克的热情好客鼓掌。感谢耐克公司今天在"费德勒广场"接待我们。你们知道，白宫挺酷的。我们有一个篮球场——其实是一个网球场，我上任时重新画了些线——所以它是一个篮球网球两用场。还有艾森豪威尔总统修建的推杆果岭。顺便说一句，你们能想象如果是我修了一个推杆果岭会怎样吗？世道变了。
But you've got all that and the 18th tee box from Pebble Beach. Come on. I'm sure some of my staff is running around right now in the Michael Jordan and Mia Hamm buildings -- they want to be lab rats for your new gear. 但你们这里什么都有，甚至还有圆石滩的第18洞发球台。得了吧。我敢肯定我的一些工作人员现在正在迈克尔·乔丹和米娅·哈姆大楼里转悠——他们想当你们新装备的试验品。
But it is wonderful to be here. Please give it up for two people who fight every single day for Oregon workers -- your Representatives in Congress -- they do a great job -- Earl Blumenauer and Suzanne Bonamici. They are both here. Give them a big round of applause. Yay! And there are two people who couldn't make it here today, but they're doing a great job and you should give them a round of applause as well, and that's Senator Ron Wyden and Representative Kurt Schrader. 来到这里我真的很高兴。请为两位每天都在为俄勒冈工人奋斗的人鼓掌——你们的国会众议员——他们工作出色——厄尔·布卢门瑙尔和苏珊娜·博纳米奇。他们都来了。给他们热烈的掌声。耶！还有两位今天没能到场，但他们工作也很出色，你们也应该为他们鼓掌，他们是罗恩·怀登参议员和库尔特·施拉德众议员。
So it is great to be at the world headquarters of such an iconic company -- a company that helps athletes succeed from the individual to the world stage. And as you've heard, I've come to Oregon to talk a little bit about trade -- which initially may have had some people thinking, what, is Mariota going someplace that we didn't know about? He's going to be great. He's an outstanding young man. He's going to be terrific -- and from Hawaii, by the way. Local boy. 能来到这样一家标志性公司的全球总部真是太棒了——这家公司帮助运动员从个人赛场走向世界舞台取得成功。正如你们所听到的，我来俄勒冈是想谈谈贸易——一开始可能有些人会想，什么，马里奥塔要去我们不知道的地方吗？他会很棒的。他是一个出色的年轻人。他会非常出色的——顺便说一句，他来自夏威夷。本地男孩。
But this is important, and I want to tell you why I think trade deals and our willingness to go out there and compete on the global stage is so important. 但这件事很重要，我想告诉你们为什么我认为贸易协定以及我们走出去参与全球竞争的意愿如此重要。
Before I came out here, I had a chance to meet with some small business owners from across Oregon, whose workers make everything from bikes to tea to stationery to wine. And they know how important this is to them. Sometimes when we talk about trade, we think of Nike, or we think of Boeing, or we think of G.E. -- we think about these big multinational companies. 在我上台之前，我有机会会见了一些来自俄勒冈各地的小企业主，他们的员工生产从自行车到茶叶、从文具到葡萄酒的各种产品。他们知道这对他们有多重要。有时候，当我们谈论贸易时，我们会想到耐克，想到波音，想到通用电气——我们想到那些大型跨国公司。
But those small business leaders came here today because they understood that these markets outside the United States will help them grow, and will help them hire more folks -- just as all the suppliers to Nike or Boeing or G.E. or any of these other companies understand this is going to be critical to their growth and their ability to create new jobs. 但这些小企业领袖今天来到这里，是因为他们明白，美国以外的这些市场将帮助他们成长，帮助他们雇佣更多员工——正如耐克、波音、通用电气或其他任何公司的所有供应商都明白的那样，这对他们的增长和创造新就业的能力至关重要。
In fact, that's why Ron Wyden is not here -- because he's in Washington, D.C. as we speak quarterbacking this effort on behalf of Oregon's small business owners and workers. 事实上，这就是罗恩·怀登不在这里的原因——因为他此刻正在华盛顿特区，代表俄勒冈的小企业主和工人们领导推进这项工作。
Now, small businesses are the backbone of our economy. Eventually, like Nike, they grow sometimes into really, really big companies. They employ millions of people; 98 percent of exporters are small businesses. They're the ones who make Made in Oregon and Made in the USA mean something. 小企业是我们经济的支柱。最终，就像耐克一样，它们有时会成长为真正的大公司。它们雇佣了数百万人；98%的出口商是小企业。是它们让"俄勒冈制造"和"美国制造"有了意义。
And they represent something essential about this country -- the notion that if you've got a good idea and you're willing to work at it, you can turn that idea into a business, you can growth that business, and eventually, who knows what might happen. You can give other people a chance to earn a living even as you do well. That's America's promise. And it's up to us to keep that promise alive. 它们代表了这个国家最本质的东西——这样一种理念：如果你有一个好主意，并且愿意为之努力，你就能把这个想法变成一项事业，你就能发展这项事业，最终，谁知道会发生什么呢。你可以给其他人一个谋生的机会，同时自己也获得成功。这就是美国的承诺。我们有责任让这个承诺永葆生机。
Now, that promise was threatened for almost everybody just about seven years ago, when the economy nearly collapsed, and millions of Americans lost their jobs and their homes and their life savings. But thanks to the hard work of the American people and entrepreneurs like the ones who are here today -- and some pretty good policies from my Administration -- we're in a different place today. We're in a different place today. 大约七年前，这个承诺几乎对所有人都构成了威胁，当时经济几近崩溃，数百万美国人失去了工作、家园和毕生积蓄。但多亏了美国人民和今天在座的企业家们的辛勤努力——以及我政府一些相当不错的政策——我们今天的处境已经不同了。我们今天的处境已经不同了。
This morning, we learned that our economy created 223,000 new jobs last month. The unemployment rate ticked down again to 5.4 percent -- which is the lowest it's been in almost seven years. That's 3 million new jobs over the past 12 months -- nearly the fastest pace in over a decade. And all told, over the past 62 months in a row, America's businesses have created 12.3 million new jobs. 今天上午，我们获悉上个月经济创造了22.3万个新就业岗位。失业率再次下降至5.4%——这是近七年来的最低水平。过去12个月新增了300万个就业岗位——这几乎是十多年来最快的增速。总的来说，在过去连续62个月里，美国企业已经创造了1230万个新就业岗位。
I should add, by the way, 62 months ago is when I signed the Affordable Care Act. So, obviously, it hasn't done too bad in terms of employment in this country. I just thought I'd mention that. Since there were a lot of predictions of doom and gloom, I would just suggest those who were making those predictions go back and check the statistics. Just saying. 顺便说一句，我得补充一下，62个月前正是我签署《平价医疗法案》的时候。所以很明显，它在就业方面表现得还不错。我只是想提一下。既然当时有很多末日预言，我建议那些做出这些预言的人回去查查统计数据。随便说说而已。
So small businesses deserve a lot of credit for that. In fact, over the past several years, small businesses have created nearly two out of every three new American jobs. And the question is, how do we build on that success? We've got to be relentless in our efforts to support small businesses who are creating jobs and helping to grow the economy. 所以小企业功不可没。事实上，在过去几年里，美国每三个新增就业岗位中就有近两个是小企业创造的。问题是，我们如何在这一成功基础上继续发展？我们必须坚持不懈地支持那些正在创造就业、帮助经济增长的小企业。
And that's been the purpose behind many of the policies I've fought for as President. I've cut taxes for small businesses more than a dozen times. I've pushed for investments in infrastructure and faster Internet. It's why we've made health care more accessible, affordable, portable -- to give people the freedom to change jobs or launch that startup without worrying about losing their health insurance. 这也是我作为总统为之奋斗的许多政策背后的目的。我已经为小企业减税十多次了。我推动基础设施投资和更快的互联网。正因为如此，我们让医疗保健变得更易获得、更实惠、更便携——让人们可以自由地换工作或创业，而不必担心失去医疗保险。
And passing trade agreements is part of that agenda if those trade agreements are the right kinds of trade agreements; if they make sure that they're growing our businesses, and helping American workers by selling goods Made in America across the rest of the world. 如果贸易协定是正确的贸易协定，如果它们能够确保企业发展壮大，通过向世界其他地区销售美国制造的商品来帮助美国工人，那么通过贸易协定就是这一议程的一部分。
And I've been talking a lot about this lately, because I view smart trade agreements as a vital piece of middle-class economics. Not a contradiction to middle-class economics, it's a part and parcel of it. 我最近一直在谈论这个问题，因为我认为明智的贸易协定是中产阶级经济学的重要组成部分。它不是中产阶级经济学的对立面，而是其中不可或缺的一部分。
I believe that our country does best when everyone gets a fair shot, everyone does their fair share, everybody plays by the same set of rules. And that means making sure everybody has got a good education. It means making sure that women are getting paid the same as men for doing the same work. It means making sure that folks have to have sick leave and family leave and that they can balance work and family in a fair way. It means, working to increase the minimum wage all across this country -- because folks who have some of the toughest jobs oftentimes get the lowest pay. 我相信，当每个人都有公平的机会，每个人都尽自己的一份力量，每个人都遵守同一套规则时，我们的国家就会发展得最好。这意味着确保每个人都能接受良好的教育。这意味着确保女性和男性同工同酬。这意味着确保人们享有病假和探亲假，能够以公平的方式平衡工作和家庭。这意味着在全国范围内提高最低工资——因为那些从事最艰苦工作的人往往得到最低的报酬。
That's all part of middle-class economics, but, you know what, so is trade. We strive to make sure our own economy lives up to high standards, but in a lot of parts of the world, the rules are unfair. The playing field is uneven. That puts American businesses and American workers at a disadvantage. So the question is, what should we do about it? 这些都是中产阶级经济学的一部分，但你们知道吗，贸易也是。我们努力确保我们自己的经济达到高标准，但在世界上很多地方，规则是不公平的。竞争环境是不公平的。这使美国企业和美国工人处于不利地位。所以问题是，我们应该怎么做？
Some folks think we should just withdraw and not even try to engage in trade with these countries. I disagree. We have to make sure America writes the rules of the global economy. And we should do it today, while our economy is in the position of global strength. Because if we don't write the rules for trade around the world -- guess what -- China will. And they'll write those rules in a way that gives Chinese workers and Chinese businesses the upper hand, and locks American-made goods out. 有些人认为我们应该干脆退出，甚至不尝试与这些国家进行贸易。我不同意。我们必须确保由美国来制定全球经济的规则。我们应该今天就做，趁我们的经济处于全球强势地位的时候。因为如果我们不为世界贸易制定规则——你猜怎么着——中国会。他们制定规则的方式将使中国工人和中国企业占据优势，并将美国制造的商品拒之门外。
That's the choice we face. We're not going to be able to isolate ourselves from world markets. We got to be in there and compete. And the question is, are we going to make sure that the rules are fair so that our businesses and our workers are on a level playing field. Because when they are, we win every time. When the rules are fair, we win every time. 这就是我们面临的选择。我们不能把自己孤立在世界市场之外。我们必须参与其中，参与竞争。问题是，我们是否要确保规则是公平的，让我们的企业和工人处于公平的竞争环境中。因为当规则公平时，我们每次都会赢。当规则公平时，我们每次都会赢。
So this is why I'm such a strong supporter of new trade agreements. They're going to help our workers compete and our businesses compete. This is not a left issue or a right issue, or a business or a labor issue. It is about fairness and equity and access. And like other issues that we've waged slow, steady fights on over the last seven years, this is also a question of the past versus the future. 这就是我为什么如此坚定地支持新贸易协定的原因。它们将帮助我们的工人竞争，帮助我们的企业竞争。这不是左派或右派的问题，也不是企业或工会的问题。这关乎公平、公正和准入。就像我们在过去七年里缓慢而坚定地为之奋斗的其他问题一样，这也是一个过去与未来的问题。
So the Trans-Pacific Partnership that we're working on, it's the biggest trade deal that we're working on right now -- has to do with the Asia Pacific region. And it reflects our values in ways that, frankly, some previous trade agreements did not. It's the highest-standard, most progressive trade deal in history. 我们正在推进的《跨太平洋伙伴关系协定》是我们目前正在进行的最大规模贸易协定——涉及亚太地区。它以坦率地说一些以往贸易协定没有做到的方式体现了我们的价值观。这是历史上标准最高、最进步的贸易协定。
It's got strong, enforceable provisions for workers, preventing things like child labor. It's got strong, enforceable provisions on the environment, helping us to do things that haven't been done before, to prevent wildlife trafficking, or deforestation, or dealing with our oceans. And these are enforceable in the agreement. 它包含强有力的、可执行的劳工条款，防止童工等现象。它包含强有力的、可执行的环境条款，帮助我们做以前从未做过的事情，防止野生动物贩运、森林砍伐或应对海洋问题。这些在协定中都是可执行的。
And Nike operates in the Pacific region, so they understand the competitive pressures they're under. Nike has factories all around the world. And let's face it, Mark I think doesn't mind me saying it that some of these countries, they don't have the standards for wages and labor conditions that we have here. 耐克在太平洋地区运营，所以他们了解自己面临的竞争压力。耐克在世界各地都有工厂。说实话，马克不会介意我这么说——其中一些国家的工资和劳动条件标准没有我们这里高。
So when you look at a country like Vietnam, under this agreement, Vietnam would actually, for the first time, have to raise its labor standards. It would have to set a minimum wage. It would have to pass safe workplace laws to protect its workers. It would even have to protect workers' freedom to form unions -- for the very first time. That would make a difference. That helps to level the playing field -- and it would be good for the workers in Vietnam, even as it helps make sure that they're not undercutting competition here in the United States. 所以当你看越南这样的国家时，根据这项协定，越南实际上将首次不得不提高其劳工标准。它将不得不设定最低工资。它将不得不通过安全的工作场所法律来保护工人。它甚至将不得不保护工人组建工会的自由——这是有史以来第一次。这将产生重要影响。这有助于创造公平的竞争环境——这对越南工人有好处，同时也有助于确保它们不会在这里削弱美国的竞争力。
So that's progress. It doesn't mean that suddenly working conditions in Vietnam will be like they are here at Nike. Or here in Portland right away. But it moves us in the right direction. 所以这是进步。这并不意味着越南的工作条件会突然变得像耐克这里一样。或者马上就像波特兰这里一样。但它让我们朝着正确的方向前进。
And if Vietnam, or any of the other countries in this trade agreement don't meet these requirements, they'll face meaningful consequences. If you're a country that wants in to this agreement, you have to meet higher standards. If you don't, you're out. If you break the rules, there are actual repercussions. And that's good for American businesses and American workers, because we already meet higher standards than most of the rest of the world, and that helps level the playing field. 如果越南或本贸易协定中的任何其他国家不满足这些要求，它们将面临有意义的后果。如果你是一个想加入这项协定的国家，你必须达到更高的标准。如果你做不到，你就出局。如果你违反规则，就会有实际的后果。这对美国企业和美国工人都有好处，因为我们已经达到了比世界上大多数国家更高的标准，这有助于创造公平的竞争环境。
And this deal would strengthen our hand overseas by giving us the tools to open other markets to our goods and services and make sure they play by the fair rules we help write. The truth is, we have one of the most open markets in the world. Folks are already selling stuff here. We got to be able to sell there. That requires us to enter into trade agreements to open up their markets. 这项协定将增强我们在海外的影响力，为我们提供工具，向其他市场开放我们的商品和服务，并确保它们遵守我们帮助制定的公平规则。事实是，我们拥有世界上最开放的市场之一。人们已经在这里卖东西了。我们也得能在那里卖东西。这要求我们缔结贸易协定来打开它们的市场。
I hear Oregon wine is actually pretty good. Somebody told me that the pinot noir in Oregon is top-notch, right? I've got some winemakers right here. Well, I want to make sure Japanese wine consumers have the opportunity to partake -- in our excellent Oregon wine. 我听说俄勒冈葡萄酒其实很不错。有人告诉我俄勒冈的黑皮诺是一流的，对吧？我这里就有一些酿酒师。嗯，我想确保日本的葡萄酒消费者有机会品尝——我们出色的俄勒冈葡萄酒。
We got some Oregon beef producers and ranchers around here. Beef is really expensive in Japan. Let's make sure they try some Oregon steaks. It's good stuff. 我们这里有一些俄勒冈牛肉生产商和牧场主。牛肉在日本非常贵。让我们确保他们尝尝俄勒冈牛排。味道好极了。
And that's one of the best things that can happen for our businesses and our workers -- opening up markets that have previously been closed, particularly markets where they're already selling stuff here. There's a lack of reciprocity. It's not a fair deal right now. We want to make it fair. 这对我们的企业和工人来说是最好的事情之一——打开以前封闭的市场，特别是那些已经在向我们销售产品的市场。目前缺乏互惠。现在的交易不公平。我们希望让它变得公平。
Now, I want to acknowledge -- because this looks like a very well-read and informed crowd -- that there have been a bunch of critics about trade deals generally and the Trans-Pacific Partnership. And what's interesting is typically they're my friends, coming from my party, and they're my fellow travelers on minimum wage and on job training and on clean energy. On every progressive issue, they're right there with me. And then on this one, they're like whooping on me. 现在，我要承认——因为这群人看起来博学多闻——对于贸易协定和《跨太平洋伙伴关系协定》，有很多批评者。有趣的是，他们通常是我的朋友，来自我的政党，他们和我在最低工资、职业培训和清洁能源问题上志同道合。在每一个进步议题上，他们都和我站在一起。但在这个问题上，他们却对我大加抨击。
But I tell you what. I've run my last election, and the only reason I do something is because I think it's good for American workers and the American people and the American economy. I don't have any other rationale for doing what I do than I think it's the best thing for the American people. And on this issue, on trade, I actually think some of my dearest friends are wrong. They're just wrong. And here's why. 但我告诉你们。我已经参加完我的最后一次选举了，我做某件事的唯一原因是因为我认为这对美国工人、美国人民和美国经济有好处。我做事情没有其他理由，就是我认为这对美国人民最有利。在这个问题上，在贸易问题上，我真的认为我一些最亲密的朋友错了。他们就是错了。原因如下。
First of all, they say that this trade agreement will cost American jobs. And they're really basing this on some past experience, looking at what happened in the '90s, over the last 20 years, as there was a lot of outsourcing going on. And you know what, past trade agreements, it's true, didn't always reflect our values or didn't always do enough to protect American workers. But that's why we're designing a different kind of trade deal. 首先，他们说这项贸易协定会导致美国人失业。他们的依据其实是过去的一些经验，看看90年代发生了什么，在过去20年里，出现了大量外包。你们知道吗，过去的贸易协定确实并不总是反映我们的价值观，或者并不总是足以保护美国工人。但这就是为什么我们在设计一种不同类型的贸易协定。
And the truth is that companies that only care about low wages, they've already moved. They don't need new trade deals to move. They've already outsourced. They've already located in search of low wages. 事实是，只关心低工资的公司已经搬走了。它们不需要新的贸易协定来搬迁。它们已经外包了。它们已经为了寻找低工资而搬迁了。
What this trade agreement would do is open the doors to the higher-skill, higher-wage jobs of the future -- jobs that we excel at. It would make sure our manufacturers who are operating at the higher end of the value chain are able to access these growing markets. 这项贸易协定将做的是为未来高技能、高工资的就业打开大门——那些我们擅长的工作。它将确保我们处于价值链高端的制造商能够进入这些不断增长的市场。
And the fact is, over the past few years, our manufacturers have been steadily creating jobs for the first time since the 1990s -- under my Administration. After more than a decade away from the top spot, business leaders around the world have declared the United States is the world's number one place to invest for a third year in a row. Third year in a row. 事实是，在过去几年里，在我政府的领导下，我们的制造业自20世纪90年代以来首次稳步创造就业。在离开榜首位置十多年后，世界各地的商界领袖连续第三年宣布美国是世界第一投资目的地。连续第三年。
So the point is, outsourcing is already giving way to insourcing. Companies are starting to move back here to do more advanced manufacturing, and this is a trend we expect to continue. This trade deal would help that. 所以关键是，外包已经开始让位于内包。公司开始搬回这里进行更多先进制造业，这是我们预计将持续的趋势。这项贸易协定将有助于这一趋势。
Just this morning, as Mark may have mentioned, Nike announced that, with the Trans-Pacific Partnership, it will make new investments in advanced manufacturing -- not overseas, but right here in the United States. And far more Nike products would be made in the U.S.A. And that means thousands of new jobs in manufacturing and engineering and design at Nike facilities across the country, and potentially tens of thousands of new jobs along Nike's supply chain here at home. That's what trade can do. 就在今天早上，马克可能已经提到，耐克宣布，有了《跨太平洋伙伴关系协定》，它将对先进制造业进行新的投资——不是在海外，而是在美国本土。更多的耐克产品将在美国制造。这意味着耐克在全国各地的工厂将新增数千个制造业、工程和设计岗位，耐克在国内的供应链可能新增数万个就业岗位。这就是贸易能做的。
Look, I've spent six and a half years trying to rescue this economy -- six and a half years of trying to revitalize American manufacturing, including rescuing an American auto industry that was on its back and is now fully recovered. So I would not risk any of that if I thought the trade deals were going to undermine it. The reason I'm for this is because I think it will enhance it and advance it. So that's point number one. 听着，我花了六年半时间试图拯救经济——六年半时间试图重振美国制造业，包括拯救曾经一蹶不振、现在已全面复苏的美国汽车工业。所以如果我认为贸易协定会破坏这一切，我不会冒这个险。我支持它的原因是因为我认为它会加强和推进这一切。这是第一点。
Point number two -- when you ask folks specifically, what do you oppose about this trade deal, they just say "NAFTA." NAFTA was passed 20 years ago. That was a different agreement. And in fact, this agreement fixes some of what was wrong with NAFTA by making labor and environmental provisions actually enforceable. I was just getting out of law school when NAFTA got passed. 第二点——当你具体问人们，你反对这项贸易协定的什么，他们只会说"北美自由贸易协定"。北美自由贸易协定是20年前通过的。那是一个不同的协定。事实上，这项协定通过使劳工和环境条款真正可执行，修正了北美自由贸易协定的一些问题。北美自由贸易协定通过的时候，我刚从法学院毕业。
Number three -- you've got some critics saying that any deal would be rushed through; it's a secret deal, people don't know what's in it. This is not true. Any agreement that we finalize with the other 11 countries will have to be posted online for at least 60 days before I even sign it. Then it would go to Congress -- and you know they're not going to do anything fast. So there will be months of review. Every T crossed, every I dotted. Everybody is going to be able to see exactly what's in it. 第三点——一些批评者说任何协定都会被仓促通过；这是一个秘密协定，人们不知道里面有什么。这不是真的。我们与其他11个国家最终达成的任何协定都必须在网上公布至少60天，然后我才会签署。然后它会提交给国会——你们知道他们做事不会快的。所以会有几个月的审查时间。每一个细节都将被仔细检查。每个人都能看到里面到底有什么。
There's nothing fast-track about this. This is a very deliberate track -- which will be fully subject to scrutiny. And I'm confident when people read the agreement for themselves, they'll see that this is the most progressive trade deal in history. 这根本不是什么"快速通道"。这是一条非常审慎的通道——将接受全面审查。我相信，当人们自己阅读协定时，他们会看到这是历史上最进步的贸易协定。
Number four -- critics warn that parts of this deal would undermine American regulation -- food safety, worker safety, even financial regulations. They're making this stuff up. This is just not true. No trade agreement is going to force us to change our laws. This agreement would make sure our companies aren't discriminated against in other countries. 第四点——批评者警告说，这项协定的部分内容会削弱美国的监管——食品安全、工人安全，甚至金融监管。这都是他们编出来的。这根本不是真的。没有任何贸易协定会迫使我们改变法律。这项协定将确保我们的公司在其他国家不会受到歧视。
We already treat companies from other countries fairly here. But our companies don't always get treated fairly there. So sometimes they need to have some way to settle disputes where it's not subject to the whims of some government bureaucrat in that country. That's important. We want our businesses to succeed in selling over there because that's how our workers will get more jobs here in the United States. 我们在这里已经公平对待来自其他国家的公司。但我们的公司在那里并不总是得到公平对待。所以有时候它们需要有一些解决争端的方式，而不受那个国家某个政府官僚的心血来潮的影响。这很重要。我们希望我们的企业能成功地在那里销售产品，因为这样我们的工人才能在美国获得更多的就业机会。
And then finally, some critics talk about currency manipulation. Now, this has been a problem in the past. Some countries, they try to lower their currency so that it makes their goods cheaper, makes our more expensive. There was a time when China was pretty egregious about this. When I came into office, I started pounding on them. Every time I meet with them, I'd be talking about currency. And we pushed back hard, and China moved. 最后，一些批评者谈论货币操纵。嗯，这在过去是一个问题。一些国家试图压低本国货币，使它们的商品更便宜，使我们的商品更贵。曾经有一段时间，中国在这方面做得非常过分。我上任后，就开始向他们施压。每次我与他们会面，我都会谈论货币问题。我们大力施压，中国做出了改变。
In real terms, their currency has appreciated about 30 percent since I came into office. And we're going to keep on going after it. But that's not an argument against this trade agreement. If we give up the chance to help our businesses sell their stuff in the world's fastest-growing markets, that doesn't do anything to stop currency manipulation. 实际上，自我上任以来，人民币已经升值了约30%。我们将继续追究这个问题。但这不能成为反对这项贸易协定的理由。如果我们放弃帮助我们的企业在世界上增长最快的市场销售产品的机会，那对阻止货币操纵毫无帮助。
So the fact is, some folks are just opposed to trade deals out of principle, a reflexive principle. And what I tell them is, you know what, if you're opposed to these smart, progressive trade deals, then that means you must be satisfied with the status quo. And the status quo hasn't been working for our workers. It hasn't been working for our businesses. And there are people here who will tell you why. 所以事实是，有些人只是出于原则反对贸易协定，一种反射性的原则。我对他们说，你们知道吗，如果你们反对这些明智的、进步的贸易协定，那就意味着你们一定满足于现状。而现状对我们的工人来说并不好。对我们的企业来说也不好。这里有人会告诉你们为什么。
I'm going to just give you a couple of examples of small businesses who I had a chance to meet with today. Egg Press is a Portland-based greeting card company. Really nice. They sell their cards in Australia, which is a member of this Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement. Their CEO, Tess Darrow -- where's Tess? Raise your hand. I saw her. There she is. So Tess says that if they could more easily reach customers in Japan, as well, they'd sell half the volume that they do here in America. That's a lot. 我来给你们举几个我今天有机会见面的小企业的例子。Egg Press是一家位于波特兰的贺卡公司。非常不错。他们在澳大利亚销售贺卡，澳大利亚是《跨太平洋伙伴关系协定》的成员。他们的首席执行官苔丝·达罗——苔丝在哪里？举手。我看到她了。她在那儿。苔丝说，如果他们能更容易地进入日本市场，他们的销量将达到在美国的一半。那是很大的量。
Right now, the logistics of exporting to Japan are too complicated. Products end up being held up for months at the border. This agreement would help solve some of those problems so Tess can sell more greeting cards in Japan -- presumably in Japanese. Is there going to be -- there will be a translation process, I assume. Yes, absolutely. I'm teasing. 目前，出口到日本的物流太复杂了。产品经常在边境滞留数月。这项协定将有助于解决其中一些问题，这样苔丝就可以在日本销售更多的贺卡——大概是日文版的。会有——我想会有翻译过程的。是的，当然。我开玩笑的。
So the trade deal would help eliminate barriers, and simplify customs, and hold countries accountable for getting products delivered swiftly. The more Tess sells, the more she can grow, the more she can hire here in Oregon, here in the United States. 所以贸易协定将有助于消除壁垒，简化海关程序，并促使各国对快速交付产品负责。苔丝卖得越多，她就能发展得越快，就能在俄勒冈、在美国雇佣更多人。
Oregon Fruit Products -- makes canned fruits, berries, other products -- depends on exports for 20 percent of its annual sales. Right now, it exports to four members of this partnership that we're putting together: Japan, Australia, Singapore, and Canada. Unfortunately, selling in these countries right now can mean dealing with unfair rules designed to prevent our products from being offered in their markets. Under this agreement, that would change. Exporting becomes simpler, more consistent. That means more people around the world eating Oregon berries all year long. Berry tasty. 俄勒冈水果产品公司——生产水果罐头、浆果和其他产品——其年销售额的20%依赖出口。目前，它向我们正在建立的这个伙伴关系的四个成员国出口：日本、澳大利亚、新加坡和加拿大。不幸的是，目前在这些国家销售可能意味着要应对旨在阻止我们产品进入其市场的不公平规则。根据这项协定，这种情况将会改变。出口变得更简单、更稳定。这意味着世界各地更多的人一年四季都能吃到俄勒冈浆果。非常美味。
Sokol Blosser Winery -- we got a lot of drinkers here. It's a winery, family-run in Dayton, Oregon. One of its top export markets is Japan. Right now, there are high tariffs on American wine in that country. Under this trade partnership, those tariffs would be eliminated, and wineries across America could see their sales grow overseas. The brother-and-sister team that runs this vineyard -- wave, guys -- they say, "If we can make it easier to do business with countries that are already our trading partners, countries that are allies, that's a good thing." 索科尔·布洛瑟酒庄——我们这里有很多喝酒的人。这是一家位于俄勒冈州代顿的家族经营酒庄。其最大的出口市场之一是日本。目前，该国对美国葡萄酒征收高额关税。根据这项贸易伙伴关系，这些关税将被取消，美国各地的酒庄可能会看到海外销售额增长。经营这个葡萄园的兄妹团队——挥挥手，伙计们——他们说："如果我们能让与已经是我们贸易伙伴、是盟友的国家做生意变得更容易，那就是一件好事。"
They're right. This deal would be a good thing. So let's "just do it." It took a while for you to catch that, didn't it? I thought that was pretty obvious. 他们说得对。这项协定将是一件好事。所以让我们"只管去做"吧。你们过了好一会儿才反应过来，对吧？我以为这很明显呢。
So, listen, I know a lot of folks who are skeptical about trade. Past trade deals didn't always live up to the hype. Labor and environmental protections weren't always strong enough. I saw for years, in Chicago and towns across Illinois, manufacturing collapsing, jobs drying up. Outsourcing is real. Folks didn't just make that up. Some of our manufacturing base shifted over the last 25 years, and it wasn't good for manufacturing and it wasn't good for those communities, and it wasn't good for workers. That's the truth. 听着，我知道很多人对贸易持怀疑态度。过去的贸易协定并不总是像宣传的那样好。劳工和环境保护并不总是足够有力。多年来，在芝加哥和伊利诺伊州的各个城镇，我亲眼目睹了制造业崩溃、就业枯竭。外包是真实存在的。人们不是凭空捏造的。在过去25年里，我们的一些制造业基地转移了，这对制造业不利，对那些社区不利，对工人也不利。这是事实。
It had benefits -- other jobs were created, we got cheaper goods. But there was real displacement and real pain. And so, for many Americans, this is not an abstraction; this is real. 它也有好处——创造了其他就业机会，我们买到了更便宜的商品。但确实存在真正的错位和真正的痛苦。所以对许多美国人来说，这不是一个抽象的概念；这是真实的。
But we've got to learn the right lessons from that. The lesson is not that we pull up the drawbridge and build a moat around ourselves. The lesson is, is that we've got to make sure that the trade deals that we do shape are ones that allow us to compete fairly. 但我们必须从中吸取正确的教训。教训不是我们拉起吊桥，在自己周围挖一条护城河。教训是，我们必须确保我们所塑造的贸易协定是让我们能够公平竞争的协定。
So when I took office, I decided we could rethink the way we do trade in a way that actually works for working Americans. I didn't think this was the right thing to do just for companies. If I didn't think this was the right thing to do for working families, I would not be fighting for it. If any agreement undercuts working families, I won't sign it. I ran for office to expand opportunity for everybody -- the all-American idea that no matter who you are, or where you come from, or how you started out, or who you love, in America you can make it if you try. 所以当我上任时，我决定我们可以重新思考我们进行贸易的方式，使其真正为美国劳动者服务。我不认为这样做只是为了公司。如果我不认为这对工薪家庭是正确的，我就不会为之奋斗。如果任何协定损害工薪家庭的利益，我不会签署。我竞选公职是为了扩大每个人的机会——这个全美理念是：无论你是谁，无论你来自哪里，无论你的出身如何，无论你爱谁，在美国，只要你努力，你就能成功。
So, yes, we should be mindful of the past, but we can't ignore the realities of the new economy. We can't stand on the beaches and stop the global economy at our shores. We've got to harness it on our terms. This century is built for us. It's about innovation. It's about dynamism and flexibility and entrepreneurship, and information and knowledge and science and research. That's us. 所以，是的，我们应该铭记过去，但我们不能忽视新经济的现实。我们不能站在海滩上阻止全球经济到达我们的海岸。我们必须按照我们的条件来驾驭它。这个世纪是为我们而建的。它关乎创新。它关乎活力、灵活性和企业家精神，关乎信息、知识、科学和研究。这就是我们。
So we can't be afraid of it; we've got to seize it. We've got to give every single American who wakes up, sends their kids to school, rolls up their sleeves, punches in every day the chance to do what they do best: dream up, innovate, build, sell the best products and ideas in the world to every corner of the world. 所以我们不能害怕它；我们必须抓住它。我们必须给每一个醒来、送孩子上学、撸起袖子、每天打卡上班的美国人机会，让他们做自己最擅长的事：梦想、创新、建造、将世界上最好的产品和创意销往世界每一个角落。
Because, Nike, we do not just have the best athletes in the world. We also have the best workers in the world. We also have the best businesses in the world. And when the playing field is level, nobody beats the United States of America. Nobody beats the United States of America. 因为，耐克，我们不仅拥有世界上最好的运动员。我们也拥有世界上最好的工人。我们也拥有世界上最好的企业。当竞争环境公平时，没有人能打败美利坚合众国。没有人能打败美利坚合众国。
Just do it, everybody. Thank you. God bless you. 只管去做，各位。谢谢你们。上帝保佑你们。
Thank you, Oregon. Thank you. 谢谢你，俄勒冈。谢谢。
God bless America. 上帝保佑美国。
