Mr. President and Mrs. Bush; my friend, the Vice President, and Dr. Biden; Mayor Rawlings; Chief Spiller; clergy; members of Congress; Chief Brown -- I’m so glad I met Michelle first, because she loves Stevie Wonder; but most of all, to the families and friends and colleagues and fellow officers: 布什总统及夫人；我的朋友，副总统拜登博士阁下；罗林斯市长；斯皮勒局长；各位神职人员；各位国会议员；布朗局长——我很高兴我先遇见了米歇尔，因为她热爱史蒂夫·旺德；但最重要的，我要向各位家属、亲友、同事以及警员同仁们说：
Scripture tells us that in our sufferings there is glory, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. Sometimes the truths of these words are hard to see. Right now, those words test us. Because the people of Dallas, people across the country, are suffering. 圣经告诉我们，在患难中要有荣耀，因为我们知道患难生忍耐，忍耐生老练，老练生盼望。有时候，这些话语的真理难以看见。此刻，这些话语正在考验着我们。因为达拉斯人民，全美各地的人民，都在承受苦难。
We’re here to honor the memory, and mourn the loss, of five fellow Americans -- to grieve with their loved ones, to support this community, to pray for the wounded, and to try and find some meaning amidst our sorrow. 我们在此缅怀五位美国同胞，哀悼他们的离去——与他们的亲人一同悲恸，支持这个社区，为伤者祈祷，并试图在我们的悲痛中寻得某种意义。
For the men and women who protect and serve the people of Dallas, last Thursday began like any other day. Like most Americans each day, you get up, probably have too quick a breakfast, kiss your family goodbye, and you head to work. But your work, and the work of police officers across the country, is like no other. For the moment you put on that uniform, you have answered a call that at any moment, even in the briefest interaction, may put your life in harm’s way. 对于保护和服务达拉斯人民的男女警员们而言，上周四与往常的每一天并无二致。像大多数美国人一样，你们每天起床，匆匆吃顿早餐，与家人吻别，然后去上班。但你们的工作，以及全国警察的工作，是独一无二的。从你穿上那身制服的那一刻起，你就响应了一个召唤——在任何时刻，哪怕是最短暂的接触中，都可能将你的生命置于危险之中。
Lorne Ahrens, he answered that call. So did his wife, Katrina -- not only because she was the spouse of a police officer, but because she’s a detective on the force. They have two kids. And Lorne took them fishing, and used to proudly go to their school in uniform. And the night before he died, he bought dinner for a homeless man. And the next night, Katrina had to tell their children that their dad was gone. “They don’t get it yet,” their grandma said. “They don’t know what to do quite yet.” 洛恩·阿伦斯响应了那个召唤。他的妻子卡特里娜也是——不仅因为她是一名警察的配偶，更因为她自己就是警队的一名侦探。他们有两个孩子。洛恩带他们去钓鱼，还常常穿着制服自豪地去他们的学校。在他牺牲的前一晚，他为一个无家可归的人买了晚餐。而第二天晚上，卡特里娜不得不告诉孩子们，他们的爸爸走了。"他们还不懂，"他们的奶奶说，"他们还不知道该怎么办。"
Michael Krol answered that call. His mother said, “He knew the dangers of the job, but he never shied away from his duty.” He came a thousand miles from his home state of Michigan to be a cop in Dallas, telling his family, “This is something I wanted to do.” Last year, he brought his girlfriend back to Detroit for Thanksgiving, and it was the last time he’d see his family. 迈克尔·克罗尔响应了那个召唤。他的母亲说："他知道这份工作的危险，但他从不回避自己的职责。"他从家乡密歇根州跋涉千里来到达拉斯当警察，告诉家人："这就是我想做的事。"去年，他带着女朋友回底特律过感恩节，那是他最后一次见到家人。
Michael Smith answered that call -- in the Army, and over almost 30 years working for the Dallas Police Association, which gave him the appropriately named “Cops Cop” award. A man of deep faith, when he was off duty, he could be found at church or playing softball with his two girls. Today, his girls have lost their dad, for God has called Michael home. 迈克尔·史密斯响应了那个召唤——他曾在陆军服役，在达拉斯警察协会工作了近30年，并因此获得了名副其实的"警察中的警察"奖。他是一个信仰深厚的人，不值班的时候，你总能在教堂找到他，或是看他和两个女儿打垒球。今天，他的女儿们失去了父亲，因为上帝已经将迈克尔召回家。
Patrick Zamarripa, he answered that call. Just 32, a former altar boy who served in the Navy and dreamed of being a cop. He liked to post videos of himself and his kids on social media. And on Thursday night, while Patrick went to work, his partner Kristy posted a photo of her and their daughter at a Texas Rangers game, and tagged her partner so that he could see it while on duty. 帕特里克·萨马里帕响应了那个召唤。年仅32岁，他曾是祭坛侍者，在海军服役，梦想成为一名警察。他喜欢在社交媒体上发布自己和孩子们的视频。周四晚上，当帕特里克去上班时，他的伴侣克里斯蒂发布了一张她和女儿在德克萨斯游骑兵队比赛现场的照片，并标记了他，让他在执勤时也能看到。
Brent Thompson answered that call. He served his country as a Marine. And years later, as a contractor, he spent time in some of the most dangerous parts of Iraq and Afghanistan. And then a few years ago, he settled down here in Dallas for a new life of service as a transit cop. And just about two weeks ago, he married a fellow officer, their whole life together waiting before them. 布伦特·汤普森响应了那个召唤。他作为海军陆战队员为国家效力。多年后，作为一名承包商，他在伊拉克和阿富汗一些最危险的地区工作过。几年前，他在达拉斯定居下来，开始了作为交通警察的全新服务生涯。就在大约两周前，他与一名同为警员的女子结婚，他们的整个人生才刚刚在面前展开。
Like police officers across the country, these men and their families shared a commitment to something larger than themselves. They weren’t looking for their names to be up in lights. They’d tell you the pay was decent but wouldn’t make you rich. They could have told you about the stress and long shifts, and they’d probably agree with Chief Brown when he said that cops don’t expect to hear the words "thank you" very often, especially from those who need them the most. 和全国各地的警察一样，这些人及其家人都对超越自我的事业有着共同的承诺。他们并不想让自己的名字出现在聚光灯下。他们会告诉你薪水还行，但不会让你发财。他们可以告诉你工作的压力和漫长的轮班，他们可能会同意布朗局长的话——警察不常听到"谢谢"这两个字，尤其是从最需要他们的人那里。
No, the reward comes in knowing that our entire way of life in America depends on the rule of law; that the maintenance of that law is a hard and daily labor; that in this country, we don’t have soldiers in the streets or militias setting the rules. Instead, we have public servants -- police officers -- like the men who were taken away from us. 不，回报来自于知道我们在美国的整个生活方式都依赖于法治；知道维护法律是一项艰苦的日常劳作；知道在这个国家，我们没有士兵在街上巡逻，也没有民兵制定规则。相反，我们有公务员——警察——就像那些被夺走生命的人一样。
And that’s what these five were doing last Thursday when they were assigned to protect and keep orderly a peaceful protest in response to the killing of Alton Sterling of Baton Rouge and Philando Castile of Minnesota. They were upholding the constitutional rights of this country. 这就是上周四这五位警官所做的事，他们奉命保护一场和平抗议并维持秩序，这场抗议是针对巴吞鲁日的奥尔顿·斯特林和明尼苏达州的菲兰多·卡斯蒂利亚遭枪杀事件。他们在维护这个国家的宪法权利。
For a while, the protest went on without incident. And despite the fact that police conduct was the subject of the protest, despite the fact that there must have been signs or slogans or chants with which they profoundly disagreed, these men and this department did their jobs like the professionals that they were. In fact, the police had been part of the protest’s planning. Dallas PD even posted photos on their Twitter feeds of their own officers standing among the protesters. Two officers, black and white, smiled next to a man with a sign that read, “No Justice, No Peace.” 有一段时间，抗议活动平安无事地进行着。尽管警察的行为正是抗议的主题，尽管一定有他们强烈反对的标语、口号或呼喊，但这些人和这个部门以专业人士的本色履行了职责。事实上，警方还参与了抗议活动的策划。达拉斯警局甚至在其推特上发布了自己的警员站在抗议者中间的照片。两名警员，一黑一白，与一名举着"没有正义，就没有和平"标语的男子并肩微笑。
And then, around nine o’clock, the gunfire came. Another community torn apart. More hearts broken. More questions about what caused, and what might prevent, another such tragedy. 然后，大约九点钟，枪声响起。又一个社区被撕裂。更多的心碎了。关于是什么导致了这场悲剧，以及如何防止另一场类似悲剧，我们有了更多的疑问。
I know that Americans are struggling right now with what we’ve witnessed over the past week. First, the shootings in Minnesota and Baton Rouge, and the protests, then the targeting of police by the shooter here -- an act not just of demented violence but of racial hatred. All of it has left us wounded, and angry, and hurt. It’s as if the deepest fault lines of our democracy have suddenly been exposed, perhaps even widened. And although we know that such divisions are not new -- though they have surely been worse in even the recent past -- that offers us little comfort. 我知道，美国人民此刻正在为过去一周所目睹的一切而挣扎。先是明尼苏达州和巴吞鲁日的枪击事件，随后是抗议活动，然后是这里的枪手将警察作为目标——这不仅是疯狂的暴力行为，更是种族仇恨的行为。所有这一切都让我们受伤、愤怒、痛心。仿佛我们民主制度最深层的裂痕突然暴露出来，甚至可能被扩大了。尽管我们知道这种分歧并不新鲜——尽管在不远的过去情况肯定更糟——但这并不能给我们带来多少安慰。
Faced with this violence, we wonder if the divides of race in America can ever be bridged. We wonder if an African-American community that feels unfairly targeted by police, and police departments that feel unfairly maligned for doing their jobs, can ever understand each other’s experience. We turn on the TV or surf the Internet, and we can watch positions harden and lines drawn, and people retreat to their respective corners, and politicians calculate how to grab attention or avoid the fallout. 面对这种暴力，我们不禁要问，美国的种族分歧能否被弥合。我们不禁要问，一个感到被警察不公平对待的非裔美国人社区，与那些因尽职尽责而感到被不公平中伤的警察部门，能否理解彼此的经历。我们打开电视或浏览互联网，可以看到立场越来越强硬，界限越来越分明，人们退守到各自的阵营，政客们算计着如何吸引眼球或避免牵连。
We see all this, and it’s hard not to think sometimes that the center won't hold and that things might get worse. 我们看到这一切，有时难免会想，中间立场将不复存在，情况可能会变得更糟。
I understand. I understand how Americans are feeling. But, Dallas, I’m here to say we must reject such despair. I’m here to insist that we are not as divided as we seem. And I know that because I know America. I know how far we’ve come against impossible odds. I know we’ll make it because of what I’ve experienced in my own life, what I’ve seen of this country and its people -- their goodness and decency --as President of the United States. 我理解。我理解美国人民的感受。但是，达拉斯，我在此要说，我们必须拒绝这种绝望。我在此坚称，我们并非如表面看来那般分裂。我知道这一点，因为我了解美国。我知道我们在看似不可能的困境中走了多远。我知道我们会成功，因为我从自己的人生经历中，从我作为美国总统所看到的这个国家及其人民——他们的善良与正直——中了解到这一点。
And I know it because of what we’ve seen here in Dallas -- how all of you, out of great suffering, have shown us the meaning of perseverance and character, and hope. 我知道这一点，还因为我们在达拉斯这里所看到的——你们所有人如何在巨大的苦难中，向我们展现了忍耐、品格与希望的意义。
When the bullets started flying, the men and women of the Dallas police, they did not flinch and they did not react recklessly. They showed incredible restraint. Helped in some cases by protesters, they evacuated the injured, isolated the shooter, and saved more lives than we will ever know. We mourn fewer people today because of your brave actions. 当子弹开始横飞时，达拉斯警察的男女警员们，他们没有退缩，也没有鲁莽行事。他们表现出了令人难以置信的克制。在一些情况下，在抗议者的帮助下，他们疏散了伤者，包围了枪手，挽救了超乎我们想象的生命。正因为你们的英勇行动，我们今天哀悼的人数才得以减少。
“Everyone was helping each other,” one witness said. “It wasn’t about black or white. Everyone was picking each other up and moving them away.” See, that’s the America I know. "每个人都在互相帮助，"一位目击者说。"无关黑人还是白人。每个人都在搀扶彼此，把他们转移到安全地带。"看吧，这就是我所认识的美国。
The police helped Shetamia Taylor as she was shot trying to shield her four sons. She said she wanted her boys to join her to protest the incidents of black men being killed. She also said to the Dallas PD, “Thank you for being heroes.” And today, her 12-year old son wants to be a cop when he grows up. That’s the America I know. 警察帮助了谢塔米亚·泰勒，她在试图掩护四个儿子时中枪。她说她想让儿子们和她一起抗议黑人男子遭枪杀的事件。她还对达拉斯警局说："谢谢你们成为英雄。"而今天，她12岁的儿子长大后想当一名警察。这就是我所认识的美国。
In the aftermath of the shooting, we’ve seen Mayor Rawlings and Chief Brown, a white man and a black man with different backgrounds, working not just to restore order and support a shaken city, a shaken department, but working together to unify a city with strength and grace and wisdom. And in the process, we've been reminded that the Dallas Police Department has been at the forefront of improving relations between police and the community. 枪击事件发生后，我们看到罗林斯市长和布朗局长，一位白人、一位黑人，背景各异，但他们不仅致力于恢复秩序、支持一个遭受重创的城市和部门，更以力量、优雅与智慧共同努力，团结这座城市。在此过程中，我们想起达拉斯警察局一直走在改善警民关系的前沿。
The murder rate here has fallen. Complaints of excessive force have been cut by 64 percent. The Dallas Police Department has been doing it the right way. And so, Mayor Rawlings and Chief Brown, on behalf of the American people, thank you for your steady leadership, thank you for your powerful example. We could not be prouder of you. 这里的谋杀率已经下降。过度使用武力的投诉减少了64%。达拉斯警察局一直走在正确的道路上。因此，罗林斯市长、布朗局长，我代表美国人民，感谢你们坚定的领导，感谢你们树立的有力榜样。我们为你们感到无比骄傲。
These men, this department -- this is the America I know. And today, in this audience, I see people who have protested on behalf of criminal justice reform grieving alongside police officers. I see people who mourn for the five officers we lost but also weep for the families of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile. In this audience, I see what’s possible -- I see what's possible when we recognize that we are one American family, all deserving of equal treatment, all deserving of equal respect, all children of God. That’s the America that I know. 这些人，这个部门——这就是我所认识的美国。今天，在在座的听众中，我看到为刑事司法改革而抗议的人们与警察一同哀悼。我看到为五位牺牲警官哀悼的人们，也在为奥尔顿·斯特林和菲兰多·卡斯蒂利亚的家人落泪。在在座的听众中，我看到了可能——我看到了当我们承认我们是一个美国家庭、人人都应得到平等对待、人人都应得到平等尊重、我们都是上帝的孩子时，一切皆有可能。这就是我所认识的美国。
Now, I'm not naïve. I have spoken at too many memorials during the course of this presidency. I’ve hugged too many families who have lost a loved one to senseless violence. And I've seen how a spirit of unity, born of tragedy, can gradually dissipate, overtaken by the return to business as usual, by inertia and old habits and expediency. I see how easily we slip back into our old notions, because they’re comfortable, we’re used to them. I’ve seen how inadequate words can be in bringing about lasting change. I’ve seen how inadequate my own words have been. 现在，我并不天真。在我的总统任期内，我在太多的纪念仪式上讲过话。我拥抱了太多因无谓暴力而失去亲人的家庭。我也见过，一种因悲剧而生的团结精神如何逐渐消散，被回归常态、惯性、旧习与权宜之计所取代。我看到我们多么容易滑回旧有的观念，因为它们让人舒适，我们已经习以为常。我见过言语在带来持久变革方面是多么无力。我也见过我自己的话语是多么不足。
And so I’m reminded of a passage in John’s Gospel [First John]: Let us love not with words or speech, but with actions and in truth. If we’re to sustain the unity we need to get through these difficult times, if we are to honor these five outstanding officers who we’ve lost, then we will need to act on the truths that we know. And that’s not easy. It makes us uncomfortable. But we’re going to have to be honest with each other and ourselves. 因此，我想起了《约翰一书》中的一段话：我们相爱，不要只在言语和舌头上，总要在行为和诚实上。如果我们要维持度过这些艰难时刻所需的团结，如果我们要向这五位逝去的杰出警官致敬，那么我们就需要按照我们所知道的真理去行动。而这并不容易。它会让我们感到不安。但我们必须彼此坦诚，也必须对自己坦诚。
We know that the overwhelming majority of police officers do an incredibly hard and dangerous job fairly and professionally. They are deserving of our respect and not our scorn. And when anyone, no matter how good their intentions may be, paints all police as biased or bigoted, we undermine those officers we depend on for our safety. And as for those who use rhetoric suggesting harm to police, even if they don’t act on it themselves -- well, they not only make the jobs of police officers even more dangerous, but they do a disservice to the very cause of justice that they claim to promote. 我们知道，绝大多数警察都在公平而专业地从事着极其艰难和危险的工作。他们值得我们的尊重，而非轻蔑。当任何人——无论他们的意图多么良好——将所有警察都描绘成有偏见或偏执的人时，我们就是在损害那些我们赖以保障安全的警官。至于那些使用暗示伤害警察的言论的人，即使他们自己并不付诸行动——他们不仅让警察的工作变得更加危险，也损害了他们声称要推动的正义事业本身。
We also know that centuries of racial discrimination -- of slavery, and subjugation, and Jim Crow -- they didn’t simply vanish with the end of lawful segregation. They didn’t just stop when Dr. King made a speech, or the Voting Rights Act and the Civil Rights Act were signed. Race relations have improved dramatically in my lifetime. Those who deny it are dishonoring the struggles that helped us achieve that progress. 我们也知道，几个世纪的种族歧视——奴隶制、压迫、吉姆·克劳法——并没有随着合法隔离的终结而凭空消失。它们没有在金博士发表演讲，或是《投票权法案》和《民权法案》签署后就戛然而止。在我有生之年，种族关系已经有了显著改善。那些否认这一点的人，是在不尊重帮助我们取得这一进步的斗争。
But we know -- but, America, we know that bias remains. We know it. Whether you are black or white or Hispanic or Asian or Native American or of Middle Eastern descent, we have all seen this bigotry in our own lives at some point. We’ve heard it at times in our own homes. If we’re honest, perhaps we’ve heard prejudice in our own heads and felt it in our own hearts. We know that. And while some suffer far more under racism’s burden, some feel to a far greater extent discrimination’s sting. 但我们知道——但是，美国，我们知道偏见依然存在。我们知道。无论你是黑人、白人、西语裔、亚裔、印第安人，还是中东裔，我们都曾在人生的某个时刻见过这种偏执。我们有时在自己的家里听到过。如果我们诚实，也许我们曾在自己的脑海中听到过偏见的声音，在自己的心中感受到过它的存在。我们知道这一点。尽管有些人在种族主义的重负下遭受更多，有些人更深刻地感受到歧视的刺痛。
Although most of us do our best to guard against it and teach our children better, none of us is entirely innocent. No institution is entirely immune. And that includes our police departments. We know this. 尽管我们大多数人都在尽力防范它，并教导我们的孩子做得更好，但我们没有一个人是完全无辜的。没有哪个机构能完全免疫。这包括我们的警察部门。我们知道这一点。
And so when African Americans from all walks of life, from different communities across the country, voice a growing despair over what they perceive to be unequal treatment; when study after study shows that whites and people of color experience the criminal justice system differently, so that if you’re black you’re more likely to be pulled over or searched or arrested, more likely to get longer sentences, more likely to get the death penalty for the same crime; 因此，当来自各行各业、全国各地不同社区的非裔美国人，对他们所感受到的不平等待遇表达日益加深的绝望时；当一项又一项研究表明，白人和有色人种在刑事司法系统中的经历截然不同——如果你是黑人，你更有可能被拦停、被搜查、被逮捕，更有可能被判更长的刑期，更有可能因同样的罪行被判处死刑时；
when mothers and fathers raise their kids right and have “the talk” about how to respond if stopped by a police officer -- “yes, sir,” “no, sir” -- but still fear that something terrible may happen when their child walks out the door, still fear that kids being stupid and not quite doing things right might end in tragedy -- when all this takes place more than 50 years after the passage of the Civil Rights Act, we cannot simply turn away and dismiss those in peaceful protest as troublemakers or paranoid. We can’t simply dismiss it as a symptom of political correctness or reverse racism. 当父母们正确地抚养孩子，进行着"那次谈话"——教孩子如果被警察拦下该如何回应——"是的，先生"，"不，先生"——但仍然担心孩子走出家门后可能发生可怕的事情，仍然担心孩子一时糊涂、做得不太妥当就可能酿成悲剧——当这一切在《民权法案》通过50多年后仍然发生时，我们不能简单地转过头去，将和平抗议者斥为麻烦制造者或偏执狂。
To have your experience denied like that, dismissed by those in authority, dismissed perhaps even by your white friends and coworkers and fellow church members again and again and again -- it hurts. Surely we can see that, all of us. 我们不能简单地将其斥为政治正确或逆向种族主义的症状。让你的经历被如此否认，被当权者漠视，也许甚至被你的白人朋友、同事和教友一次又一次地漠视——这很痛。我们肯定都能看到这一点，我们所有人。
We also know what Chief Brown has said is true: That so much of the tensions between police departments and minority communities that they serve is because we ask the police to do too much and we ask too little of ourselves. As a society, we choose to underinvest in decent schools. We allow poverty to fester so that entire neighborhoods offer no prospect for gainful employment. We refuse to fund drug treatment and mental health programs. 我们也知道布朗局长说的是对的：警察部门与其所服务的少数族裔社区之间的紧张关系，很大程度上是因为我们对警察要求太多，而对自己要求太少。作为一个社会，我们选择对体面的学校投资不足。我们任由贫困恶化，以至于整个社区都看不到体面就业的前景。我们拒绝为药物治疗和心理健康项目提供资金。
We flood communities with so many guns that it is easier for a teenager to buy a Glock than get his hands on a computer or even a book -- and then we tell the police “you’re a social worker, you’re the parent, you’re the teacher, you’re the drug counselor.” We tell them to keep those neighborhoods in check at all costs, and do so without causing any political blowback or inconvenience. Don’t make a mistake that might disturb our own peace of mind. And then we feign surprise when, periodically, the tensions boil over. 我们让社区里充斥着枪支，以至于一个青少年买一把格洛克手枪比弄到一台电脑甚至一本书都容易——然后我们告诉警察"你是社会工作者，你是家长，你是老师，你是毒品顾问"。我们告诉他们不惜一切代价管好那些社区，而且不能引起任何政治反弹或不便。不要犯可能扰乱我们内心平静的错误。然后，当紧张局势周期性地爆发时，我们却假装惊讶。
We know these things to be true. They’ve been true for a long time. We know it. Police, you know it. Protestors, you know it. You know how dangerous some of the communities where these police officers serve are, and you pretend as if there’s no context. These things we know to be true. And if we cannot even talk about these things -- if we cannot talk honestly and openly not just in the comfort of our own circles, but with those who look different than us or bring a different perspective, then we will never break this dangerous cycle. 我们知道这些都是事实。长期以来一直如此。我们知道。警察们，你们知道。抗议者们，你们知道。你们知道这些警察所服务的一些社区有多危险，却假装没有任何背景因素。这些事情我们知道是真实的。如果我们连这些事情都不能谈论——如果我们不能诚实而公开地谈论，不仅在自己舒适的圈子里，还要与那些看起来与我们不同或带来不同视角的人交谈，那么我们永远无法打破这个危险的循环。
In the end, it's not about finding policies that work; it’s about forging consensus, and fighting cynicism, and finding the will to make change. 归根结底，这不是要找到有效的政策；而是要建立共识，对抗犬儒主义，并找到变革的意志。
Can we do this? Can we find the character, as Americans, to open our hearts to each other? Can we see in each other a common humanity and a shared dignity, and recognize how our different experiences have shaped us? And it doesn’t make anybody perfectly good or perfectly bad, it just makes us human. I don’t know. I confess that sometimes I, too, experience doubt. I've been to too many of these things. I've seen too many families go through this. But then I am reminded of what the Lord tells Ezekiel: I will give you a new heart, the Lord says, and put a new spirit in you. 我们能做到吗？作为美国人，我们能找到向彼此敞开心扉的品格吗？我们能在彼此身上看到共同的人性和共享的尊严，并认识到我们不同的经历如何塑造了我们吗？这并不意味着谁完全好或谁完全坏，这只是让我们成为人。我不知道。我承认，有时候我也会感到怀疑。我经历了太多这样的事情。我见过太多家庭经历这一切。但那时我想起了主对以西结说的话：我要给你一颗新心，主说，将新的灵放在你里面。
I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. 我要从你身上除掉石心，给你一颗肉心。
That’s what we must pray for, each of us: a new heart. Not a heart of stone, but a heart open to the fears and hopes and challenges of our fellow citizens. That’s what we’ve seen in Dallas these past few days. That’s what we must sustain. 这就是我们每个人都必须祈求的：一颗新心。不是一颗石心，而是一颗对同胞的恐惧、希望与挑战敞开的心。这就是我们过去几天在达拉斯看到的。这就是我们必须保持的。
Because with an open heart, we can learn to stand in each other’s shoes and look at the world through each other’s eyes, so that maybe the police officer sees his own son in that teenager with a hoodie who's kind of goofing off but not dangerous -- and the teenager -- maybe the teenager will see in the police officer the same words and values and authority of his parents. 因为带着一颗开放的心，我们可以学会站在对方的立场上，通过对方的眼睛看世界，这样也许警察能在那个穿着连帽衫、有点调皮但并不危险的少年身上看到自己的儿子——而那个少年——也许那个少年能在警察身上看到与他父母同样的话语、价值观和权威。
With an open heart, we can abandon the overheated rhetoric and the oversimplification that reduces whole categories of our fellow Americans not just to opponents, but to enemies. 带着一颗开放的心，我们可以摒弃过激的言辞和过度的简化——那些将我们的美国同胞整个群体不仅贬为对手，更贬为敌人的简化。
With an open heart, those protesting for change will guard against reckless language going forward, look at the model set by the five officers we mourn today, acknowledge the progress brought about by the sincere efforts of police departments like this one in Dallas, and embark on the hard but necessary work of negotiation, the pursuit of reconciliation. 带着一颗开放的心，那些为变革而抗议的人将警惕今后的鲁莽言论，以我们今天哀悼的五位警官为榜样，承认像达拉斯警局这样的警察部门通过真诚努力所取得的进步，并着手进行艰难但必要的谈判工作，追求和解。
With an open heart, police departments will acknowledge that, just like the rest of us, they are not perfect; that insisting we do better to root out racial bias is not an attack on cops, but an effort to live up to our highest ideals. And I understand these protests -- I see them, they can be messy. Sometimes they can be hijacked by an irresponsible few. Police can get hurt. Protestors can get hurt. They can be frustrating. 带着一颗开放的心，警察部门将承认，就像我们其他人一样，他们并不完美；坚持要求我们更好地根除种族偏见，不是对警察的攻击，而是努力践行我们最高尚的理想。我理解这些抗议——我看到了，它们可能会很混乱。有时它们会被不负责任的少数人劫持。警察可能会受伤。抗议者可能会受伤。它们可能会令人沮丧。
But even those who dislike the phrase “Black Lives Matter,” surely we should be able to hear the pain of Alton Sterling’s family. We should -- when we hear a friend describe him by saying that “Whatever he cooked, he cooked enough for everybody,” that should sound familiar to us, that maybe he wasn’t so different than us, so that we can, yes, insist that his life matters. 但即使是那些不喜欢"黑人的命也是命"这句话的人，我们也肯定能够听到奥尔顿·斯特林家人的痛苦。我们应该——当我们听到一位朋友这样描述他时："无论他做什么饭，他都做够所有人的份"，这应该让我们感到熟悉，也许他和我们并没有那么不同，这样我们才能，是的，坚持认为他的生命很重要。
Just as we should hear the students and coworkers describe their affection for Philando Castile as a gentle soul -- “Mr. Rogers with dreadlocks,” they called him -- and know that his life mattered to a whole lot of people of all races, of all ages, and that we have to do what we can, without putting officers' lives at risk, but do better to prevent another life like his from being lost. 正如我们应该听到学生和同事将菲兰多·卡斯蒂利亚描述为一个温柔的灵魂——"留着长发绺的罗杰斯先生"，他们这样叫他——并知道他的生命对许许多多不同种族、不同年龄的人都很重要，我们必须尽我们所能，在不危及警员生命的前提下，做得更好，防止另一个像他这样的生命逝去。
With an open heart, we can worry less about which side has been wronged, and worry more about joining sides to do right. Because the vicious killer of these police officers, they won’t be the last person who tries to make us turn on one other. The killer in Orlando wasn’t, nor was the killer in Charleston. We know there is evil in this world. That's why we need police departments. But as Americans, we can decide that people like this killer will ultimately fail. They will not drive us apart. 带着一颗开放的心，我们可以少担心哪一方受了委屈，多担心携起手来做正确的事。因为杀害这些警察的邪恶凶手，不会是最后一个试图让我们互相仇视的人。奥兰多的凶手不是，查尔斯顿的凶手也不是。我们知道这个世界上有邪恶。这就是为什么我们需要警察部门。但作为美国人，我们可以决定，像这个凶手这样的人最终会失败。他们不会让我们分裂。
We can decide to come together and make our country reflect the good inside us, the hopes and simple dreams we share. 我们可以决定走到一起，让我们的国家反映我们内心的善良，反映我们共同拥有的希望与朴素梦想。
“We also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope.” "我们在患难中也是欢欢喜喜的，因为知道患难生忍耐，忍耐生老练，老练生盼望。"
For all of us, life presents challenges and suffering -- accidents, illnesses, the loss of loved ones. There are times when we are overwhelmed by sudden calamity, natural or manmade. All of us, we make mistakes. And at times we are lost. And as we get older, we learn we don’t always have control of things -- not even a President does. But we do have control over how we respond to the world. We do have control over how we treat one another. 对我们所有人来说，生活都会带来挑战和苦难——事故、疾病、失去亲人。有时我们会被突如其来的灾难所压倒，无论是自然的还是人为的。我们所有人都会犯错。有时我们会迷失方向。随着年龄增长，我们明白我们并不总能掌控一切——即使是总统也不能。但我们确实能掌控自己如何回应这个世界。我们确实能掌控自己如何对待彼此。
America does not ask us to be perfect. Precisely because of our individual imperfections, our founders gave us institutions to guard against tyranny and ensure no one is above the law; a democracy that gives us the space to work through our differences and debate them peacefully, to make things better, even if it doesn’t always happen as fast as we’d like. America gives us the capacity to change. 美国并不要求我们完美。正因为我们每个人都不完美，我们的开国元勋们才赋予我们制度来防范暴政，确保没有人能凌驾于法律之上；一个民主制度给我们空间来解决分歧，和平地辩论分歧，让事情变得更好，即使进展并不总是如我们所愿那么快。美国赋予我们变革的能力。
But as the men we mourn today -- these five heroes -- knew better than most, we cannot take the blessings of this nation for granted. Only by working together can we preserve those institutions of family and community, rights and responsibilities, law and self-government that is the hallmark of this nation. For, it turns out, we do not persevere alone. Our character is not found in isolation. Hope does not arise by putting our fellow man down; it is found by lifting others up. 但正如我们今天哀悼的人——这五位英雄——比大多数人更清楚的是，我们不能将这个国家的祝福视为理所当然。只有共同努力，我们才能维护家庭与社区、权利与责任、法律与自治这些制度——它们是这个国家的标志。因为，事实证明，我们并非独自忍耐。我们的品格不在孤立中显现。希望不是通过贬低同胞而来的；希望是通过扶起他人而来的。
And that’s what I take away from the lives of these outstanding men. The pain we feel may not soon pass, but my faith tells me that they did not die in vain. I believe our sorrow can make us a better country. I believe our righteous anger can be transformed into more justice and more peace. Weeping may endure for a night, but I’m convinced joy comes in the morning. We cannot match the sacrifices made by Officers Zamarripa and Ahrens, Krol, Smith, and Thompson, but surely we can try to match their sense of service. We cannot match their courage, but we can strive to match their devotion. 这就是我从这些杰出人物的一生中得到的启示。我们感受到的痛苦可能不会很快过去，但我的信仰告诉我，他们的牺牲并非徒劳。我相信我们的悲伤能让我们成为一个更好的国家。我相信我们义愤的怒火可以转化为更多的正义与和平。哭泣也许会持续一夜，但我深信喜乐必在清晨到来。我们无法与萨马里帕、阿伦斯、克罗尔、史密斯和汤普森警官的牺牲相比，但我们肯定可以努力追随他们的服务精神。我们无法与他们的勇气相比，但我们可以努力追赶他们的奉献。
May God bless their memory. May God bless this country that we love. 愿上帝祝福他们的在天之灵。愿上帝保佑我们深爱的这个国家。
