Madam President, Members of the General Assembly: 主席女士，大会各位成员：
When Secretary General Hammarskjold's invitation to address this General Assembly reached me in Bermuda, I was just beginning a series of conferences with the Prime Ministers and Foreign Ministers of Great Britain and of France. Our subject was some of the problems that beset our world. 当哈马舍尔德秘书长邀请我在本届大会发表演讲的信函送达我在百慕大时，我正开始与英国和法国的首相及外交部长举行一系列会谈。我们的议题是困扰当今世界的一些问题。
During the remainder of the Bermuda Conference, I had constantly in mind that ahead of me lay a great honor. That honor is mine today, as I stand here, privileged to address the General Assembly of the United Nations. 在百慕大会谈的剩余时间里，我始终铭记着前方等待我的一项巨大荣誉。今天，当我站在这里，荣幸地向联合国大会发表演讲时，这项荣誉终于归于我。
At the same time that I appreciate the distinction of addressing you, I have a sense of exhilaration as I look upon this Assembly. Never before in history has so much hope for so many people been gathered together in a single organization. Your deliberations and decisions during these somber years have already realized part of those hopes. 在感激有此机会向各位致辞的同时，我望着在座的各位代表，心中充满振奋之情。历史上从未有过如此众多人民的如此众多希望，汇聚在一个单一的组织之中。在这些严峻岁月里，你们的审议和决定已经实现了部分希望。
But the great tests and the great accomplishments still lie ahead. And in the confident expectation of those accomplishments, I would use the office which, for the time being, I hold, to assure you that the Government of the United States will remain steadfast in its support of this body. This we shall do in the conviction that you will provide a great share of the wisdom, of the courage, and the faith which can bring to this world lasting peace for all nations, and happiness and well-being for all men. 然而，最严峻的考验和最伟大的成就仍在前方。怀着对这些成就的信心，我愿以我目前所担任的职务，向你们保证，美国政府将继续坚定不移地支持本机构。我们之所以这样做，是因为坚信你们将贡献出巨大的智慧、勇气和信念，为世界各国带来持久和平，为全人类带来幸福与安宁。
Clearly, it would not be fitting for me to take this occasion to present to you a unilateral American report on Bermuda. Nevertheless, I assure you that in our deliberations on that lovely island we sought to invoke those same great concepts of universal peace and human dignity which are so cleanly etched in your Charter. Neither would it be a measure of this great opportunity merely to recite, however hopefully, pious platitudes. 显然，我不应借此机会向你们单方面提交一份关于百慕大会谈的美国报告。尽管如此，我向你们保证，在那座美丽岛屿上的会谈中，我们努力践行那些铭刻在你们宪章中的、关于普遍和平与人类尊严的伟大理念。同样，仅仅满怀希望地背诵虔诚的陈词滥调，也配不上这一伟大的机遇。
I therefore decided that this occasion warranted my saying to you some of the things that have been on the minds and hearts of my legislative and executive associates, and on mine, for a great many months -- thoughts I had originally planned to say primarily to the American people. 因此，我决定借此机会向各位倾诉数月来我与我的立法和行政同僚们心中所思、所想的一些事情——这些想法原本我计划主要对美国人民讲述。
I know that the American people share my deep belief that if a danger exists in the world, it is a danger shared by all; and equally, that if hope exists in the mind of one nation, that hope should be shared by all. 我知道，美国人民与我有着同样的坚定信念：如果世界上存在危险，那便是所有人共同的危险；同样，如果一个国家心中怀有希望，那这希望也应被所有人共享。
Finally, if there is to be advanced any proposal designed to ease even by the smallest measure the tensions of today's world, what more appropriate audience could there be than the members of the General Assembly of the United Nations. I feel impelled to speak today in a language that in a sense is new, one which I, who have spent so much of my life in the military profession, would have preferred never to use. That new language is the language of atomic warfare. 最后，如果要提出任何哪怕只是在最小程度上缓解当今世界紧张局势的建议，还有什么听众比联合国大会的成员更合适呢？我今天感到不得不使用一种在某种意义上是全新的语言——一种我这个将大半辈子投身军旅的人原本宁愿永远不要使用的语言。这种新语言，就是原子战争的语言。
The atomic age has moved forward at such a pace that every citizen of the world should have some comprehension, at least in comparative terms, of the extent of this development, of the utmost significance to everyone of us. Clearly, if the peoples of the world are to conduct an intelligent search for peace, they must be armed with the significant facts of today's existence. 原子时代的发展速度如此之快，以至于世界上每一位公民都至少应当从比较的角度，对这一事关我们每一个人的发展的程度有所了解。显然，如果世界各国人民要理智地寻求和平，他们就必须掌握当今生存状态的关键事实。
My recital of atomic danger and power is necessarily stated in United States terms, for these are the only incontrovertible facts that I know. I need hardly point out to this Assembly, however, that this subject is global, not merely national in character. 我对原子危险和原子力量的陈述必然以美国的情况来表述，因为这些是我所知道的唯一无可争议的事实。然而，我无需向本届大会指出，这个议题是全球性的，而不仅仅是国家性的。
On July 16, 1945, the United States set off the world's first atomic explosion. 1945年7月16日，美国引爆了世界上第一次原子爆炸。
Since that date in 1945, the United States of America has conducted forty-two test explosions. Atomic bombs today are more than twenty-five times as powerful as the weapons with which the atomic age dawned, while hydrogen weapons are in the ranges of millions of tons of TNT equivalent. 自1945年那一天以来，美利坚合众国共进行了四十二次试验爆炸。今天的原子弹，其威力超过原子时代初期武器的二十五倍以上；而氢武器的威力，则相当于数百万吨TNT当量。
Today, the United States stockpile of atomic weapons, which, of course, increases daily, exceeds by many times the total [explosive] equivalent of the total of all bombs and all shells that came from every plane and every gun in every theatre of war in all the years of World War II. 今天，美国的原子武器储备——当然还在日益增加——其总爆炸当量，已经超过第二次世界大战期间所有战场上每一架飞机投下的每一颗炸弹、每一门大炮发射的每一发炮弹的总和许多倍。
A single air group, whether afloat or land based, can now deliver to any reachable target a destructive cargo exceeding in power all the bombs that fell on Britain in all of World War II. In size and variety, the development of atomic weapons has been no less remarkable. The development has been such that atomic weapons have virtually achieved conventional status within our armed services. 无论是海上还是陆基的一支航空大队，现在都能够将破坏力超过二战期间落在英国所有炸弹总和的毁灭性载荷，投送到任何可达的目标。在尺寸和种类方面，原子武器的发展同样毫不逊色。这一发展使得原子武器在我们的武装部队中实际上已达到常规武器的地位。
In the United States, the Army, the Navy, the Air Force, and the Marine Corps are all capable of putting this weapon to military use. But the dread secret and the fearful engines of atomic might are not ours alone. 在美国，陆军、海军、空军和海军陆战队都具备将这种武器用于军事目的的能力。但是，这种可怕的秘密和原子威力的可怕引擎，并不仅仅为我们所独有。
In the first place, the secret is possessed by our friends and allies, Great Britain and Canada, whose scientific genius made a tremendous contribution to our original discoveries and the designs of atomic bombs. 首先，这个秘密为我们的友邦和盟国——英国和加拿大——所掌握，它们的科学天才为我们最初的发现和原子弹的设计作出了巨大贡献。
The secret is also known by the Soviet Union. 这个秘密也为苏联所知晓。
The Soviet Union has informed us that, over recent years, it has devoted extensive resources to atomic weapons. During this period the Soviet Union has exploded a series of atomic devices, including at least one involving thermo-nuclear reactions. If at one time the Unites States possessed what might have been called a monopoly of atomic power, that monopoly ceased to exist several years ago. 苏联已告知我们，近年来它在原子武器上投入了大量资源。在此期间，苏联引爆了一系列原子装置，其中至少包括一次涉及热核反应的装置。如果说美国曾一度拥有可称之为原子力量的垄断地位，那么这种垄断在几年前就已不复存在。
Therefore, although our earlier start has permitted us to accumulate what is today a great quantitative advantage, the atomic realities of today comprehend two facts of even greater significance. 因此，尽管我们起步较早，使我们积累了今天在数量上的巨大优势，但当今的原子现实包含着两个意义更为重大的事实。
First, the knowledge now possessed by several nations will eventually be shared by others, possibly all others. 第一，目前为少数国家所掌握的知识，最终将被其他国家，可能是所有国家所分享。
Second, even a vast superiority in numbers of weapons, and a consequent capability of devastating retaliation, is no preventive, of itself, against the fearful material damage and toll of human lives that would be inflicted by surprise aggression. The free world, at least dimly aware of these facts, has naturally embarked on a large program of warning and defense systems. That program will be accelerated and expanded. 第二，即便在武器数量上拥有巨大优势，因而具备毁灭性的报复能力，其本身也不能阻止突然侵略所造成的可怕物质损失和人员伤亡。自由世界至少隐约意识到这些事实，自然已经开始了大规模的预警和防御系统计划。该计划将得到加速和扩大。
But let no one think that the expenditure of vast sums for weapons and systems of defense can guarantee absolute safety for the cities and citizens of any nation. The awful arithmetic of the atomic bomb does not permit of any such easy solution. Even against the most powerful defense, an aggressor in possession of the effective minimum number of atomic bombs for a surprise attack could probably place a sufficient number of his bombs on the chosen targets to cause hideous damage. 但是，不要以为耗费巨资用于武器和防御系统就能保证任何国家的城市和公民的绝对安全。原子弹的可怕算术不允许有这样的简单解决方案。即使面对最强大的防御，拥有进行突然袭击所需最低有效数量原子弹的侵略者，也很可能将足够数量的炸弹投放到选定目标上，造成骇人听闻的破坏。
Should such an atomic attack be launched against the United States, our reactions would be swift and resolute. But for me to say that the defense capabilities of the United States are such that they could inflict terrible losses upon an aggressor, for me to say that the retaliation capabilities of the Unites States are so great that such an aggressor's land would be laid waste, all this, while fact, is not the true expression of the purpose and the hope of the United States. 如果这样的原子攻击果真针对美国发动，我们的反应将是迅速而坚决的。但是，我说美国的防御能力能够让侵略者蒙受惨痛损失，我说美国的报复能力如此强大，侵略者的土地将沦为废墟——所有这些虽然都是事实，却并非美国目的和希望的真正表达。
To pause there would be to confirm the hopeless finality of a belief that two atomic colossi are doomed malevolently to eye each other indefinitely across a trembling world. To stop there would be to accept helplessly the probability of civilization destroyed, the annihilation of the irreplaceable heritage of mankind handed down to us generation from generation, and the condemnation of mankind to begin all over again the age-old struggle upward from savagery toward decency, and right, and justice. 如果止步于此，就等于确认了一种绝望的最终信念：两个原子巨人注定要隔着一个颤抖的世界，永远恶意地相互敌视。如果止步于此，就等于无助地接受文明被毁灭的可能性，接受人类世世代代传下来的不可替代的遗产被毁灭，接受人类被判处要重新开始那从野蛮走向体面、权利和正义的古老斗争。
Surely no sane member of the human race could discover victory in such desolation. 在这样的废墟中，任何理智的人类成员都不可能找到胜利。
Could anyone wish his name to be coupled by history with such human degradation and destruction? Occasional pages of history do record the faces of the "great destroyers," but the whole book of history reveals mankind's never-ending quest for peace and mankind's God-given capacity to build. 有谁愿意自己的名字在历史上与这样的人类堕落和毁灭联系在一起呢？历史的某些篇章确实记录了那些"伟大毁灭者"的面孔，但整部历史之书揭示的是人类对和平永不休止的追求，以及人类上帝所赐的建设能力。
It is with the book of history, and not with isolated pages, that the United States will ever wish to be identified. My country wants to be constructive, not destructive. It wants agreements, not wars, among nations. It wants itself to live in freedom and in the confidence that the people of every other nation enjoy equally the right of choosing their own way of life. 美国永远希望与整部历史之书，而非其中孤立的篇章，相联系。我的国家希望建设性的，而非破坏性的。它希望在各国之间达成协议，而非战争。它希望自己生活在自由之中，并坚信其他所有国家的人民同样享有选择自己生活方式的权利。
So my country's purpose is to help us move out of the dark chamber of horrors into the light, to find a way by which the minds of men, the hopes of men, the souls of men everywhere, can move forward toward peace and happiness and well-being. 因此，我的国家的目标，是帮助我们走出恐怖的暗室，走向光明，寻找一条道路，使各地人们的思想、希望和灵魂，都能够朝着和平、幸福与安宁迈进。
In this quest, I know that we must not lack patience. I know that in a world divided, such as ours today, salvation cannot be attained by one dramatic act. I know that many steps will have to be taken over many months before the world can look at itself one day and truly realize that a new climate of mutually peaceful confidence is abroad in the world. But I know, above all else, that we must start to take these steps now. 在这一追求中，我知道我们不能缺少耐心。我知道，在当今这样一个分裂的世界，救赎不可能通过一次戏剧性的行动实现。我知道，在世界有朝一日能够正视自己，并真正意识到一种相互和平信任的新氛围正在全世界弥漫之前，需要在许多个月里采取许多步骤。但我深知，最重要的是，我们必须现在就开始采取这些步骤。
The United States and its allies, Great Britain and France, have, over the past months, tried to take some of these steps. Let no one say that we shun the conference table. On the record has long stood the request of the United States, Great Britain, and France to negotiate with the Soviet Union the problems of a divided Germany. On that record has long stood the request of the same three nations to negotiate an Austrian peace treaty. On the same record still stands the request of the United Nations to negotiate the problems of Korea. 近几个月来，美国及其盟国英国和法国，已经尝试采取其中一些步骤。不要说我们回避谈判桌。长期以来，美国、英国和法国要求与苏联就分裂的德国问题进行谈判的请求，一直记录在案。同样，这三个国家要求谈判奥地利和平条约的请求也长期记录在案。联合国要求就朝鲜问题进行谈判的请求，同样记录在案。
Most recently we have received from the Soviet Union what is in effect an expression of willingness to hold a four-Power meeting. Along with our allies, Great Britain and France, we were pleased to see that his note did not contain the unacceptable pre-conditions previously put forward. As you already know from our joint Bermuda communiqué, the United States, Great Britain, and France have agreed promptly to meet with the Soviet Union. 最近，我们收到了苏联的一份照会，实际上表示愿意举行四大国会谈。我们与盟国英国和法国一道，高兴地看到这份照会没有包含此前提出的那些不可接受的先决条件。正如你们从我们的百慕大连合公报中已经了解到的，美国、英国和法国已同意迅速与苏联会晤。
The Government of the United States approaches this conference with hopeful sincerity. We will bend every effort of our minds to the single purpose of emerging from that conference with tangible results towards peace, the only true way of lessening international tension. We never have, we never will, propose or suggest that the Soviet Union surrender what is rightfully theirs. We will never say that the people of Russia are an enemy with whom we have no desire ever to deal or mingle in friendly and fruitful relationship. 美国政府以充满希望的真诚态度对待这次会谈。我们将殚精竭虑，只为一个目标：从这次会谈中取得迈向和平的切实成果——这是缓解国际紧张局势唯一真正的途径。我们从未，也永远不会提议或暗示苏联放弃其合法权益。我们永远不会说，俄罗斯人民是敌人，我们不愿与之交往或建立友好、富有成效的关系。
On the contrary, we hope that this coming conference may initiate a relationship with the Soviet Union which will eventually bring about a free intermingling of the peoples of the East and of the West -- the one sure, human way of developing the understanding required for confident and peaceful relations. 相反，我们希望即将举行的会谈能开启与苏联的关系，最终带来东西方人民之间自由交往——这是建立自信、和平关系所需理解的唯一可靠、人性化的方式。
Instead of the discontent which is now settling upon Eastern Germany, occupied Austria, and the countries of Eastern Europe, we seek a harmonious family of free European nations, with none a threat to the other, and least of all a threat to the peoples of the Russia. Beyond the turmoil and strife and misery of Asia, we seek peaceful opportunity for these peoples to develop their natural resources and to elevate their lives. 与其让不满情绪在东德、被占领的奥地利和东欧各国蔓延，我们寻求建立一个由自由欧洲国家组成的和谐大家庭，各国互不相扰，尤其不对俄罗斯人民构成威胁。在亚洲的动荡、冲突和苦难之外，我们为这些人民寻求和平发展其自然资源、提高生活水平的机会。
These are not idle words or shallow visions. Behind them lies a story of nations lately come to independence, not as a result of war, but through free grant or peaceful negotiation. There is a record already written of assistance gladly given by nations of the West to needy peoples and to those suffering the temporary effects of famine, drought, and natural disaster. These are deeds of peace. They speak more loudly than promises or protestations of peaceful intent. 这些都不是空洞的言辞或浅薄的幻想。在它们背后，是一些国家最近通过自由授予或和平谈判而非战争实现独立的故事。西方国家已经写下了向贫困人民以及那些遭受饥荒、干旱和自然灾害临时影响的人民慷慨提供援助的记录。这些是和平的行动，它们比承诺或和平意图的声明更有说服力。
But I do not wish to rest either upon the reiteration of past proposals or the restatement of past deeds. The gravity of the time is such that every new avenue of peace, no matter how dimly discernible, should be explored. There is at least one new avenue of peace which has not yet been well explored -- an avenue now laid out by the General Assembly of the Unites Nations. 但我不希望停留在重申过去的建议或重述过去的行动上。当今形势严峻，每一条新的和平道路——无论多么模糊难辨——都应被探索。至少有一条新的和平道路尚未得到充分探索——这条道路现在由联合国大会开辟出来。
In its resolution of November 18th, 1953 this General Assembly suggested -- and I quote -- "that the Disarmament Commission study the desirability of establishing a sub-committee consisting of representatives of the Powers principally involved, which should seek in private an acceptable solution and report such a solution to the General Assembly and to the Security Council not later than September 1, of 1954." 在1953年11月18日的决议中，本届大会建议——我引用——"裁军委员会研究是否宜设立一个由主要有关大国代表组成的小组委员会，该小组委员会应私下寻求可接受的解决方案，并至迟于1954年9月1日向大会和安全理事会报告该解决方案。"
The United States, heeding the suggestion of the General Assembly of the United Nations, is instantly prepared to meet privately with such other countries as may be "principally involved," to seek "an acceptable solution" to the atomic armaments race which overshadows not only the peace, but the very life of the world. We shall carry into these private or diplomatic talks a new conception. 美国响应联合国大会的建议，立即准备与其他"主要有关"国家举行私下会晤，为笼罩着世界和平乃至世界生存的原子军备竞赛寻求一项"可接受的解决方案"。我们将带着一种新构想进入这些私下或外交会谈。
The United States would seek more than the mere reduction or elimination of atomic materials for military purposes. It is not enough to take this weapon out of the hands of the soldiers. It must be put into the hands of those who will know how to strip its military casing and adapt it to the arts of peace. 美国所寻求的，不仅仅是减少或消除用于军事目的的原子材料。仅仅把这种武器从士兵手中夺过来是不够的。必须把它交到那些懂得如何剥去其军事外壳，并将其改造为和平艺术的人们手中。
The United States knows that if the fearful trend of atomic military build-up can be reversed, this greatest of destructive forces can be developed into a great boon, for the benefit of all mankind. The United States knows that peaceful power from atomic energy is no dream of the future. That capability, already proved, is here, now, today. 美国知道，如果原子军事建设的可怕趋势能够逆转，这股最强大的破坏性力量就可以被发展为全人类的巨大福祉。美国知道，原子能的和平利用不是未来的梦想。这种能力，已经得到证明，就在这里，就在现在，就在今天。
Who can doubt, if the entire body of the world's scientists and engineers had adequate amounts of fissionable material with which to test and develop their ideas, that this capability would rapidly be transformed into universal, efficient, and economic usage? 如果全世界的科学家和工程师能获得足够数量的可裂变材料来检验和发展他们的设想，谁还会怀疑这种能力不会迅速转变为普遍、高效和经济的应用呢？
To hasten the day when fear of the atom will begin to disappear from the minds of people and the governments of the East and West, there are certain steps that can be taken now. I therefore make the following proposals: 为了加速原子的恐惧从各国人民和东西方政府心中消失的那一天到来，现在就可以采取某些步骤。因此，我提出以下建议：
The governments principally involved, to the extent permitted by elementary prudence, to begin now and continue to make joint contributions from their stockpiles of normal uranium and fissionable materials to an International Atomic Energy Agency. We would expect that such an agency would be set up under the aegis of the United Nations. 主要有关各国政府，在基本审慎允许的范围内，现在就开始并继续从其普通铀和可裂变材料储备中，向一个国际原子能机构共同捐献。我们期望，这样一个机构将在联合国的主持下成立。
The ratios of contributions, the procedures, and other details would properly be within the scope of the "private conversations" I have referred to earlier. 捐献比例、程序和其他细节，自然应在我先前提到的"私下会谈"范围内妥善商定。
The United States is prepared to undertake these explorations in good faith. Any partner of the United States acting in the same good faith will find the United States a not unreasonable or ungenerous associate. 美国准备本着诚意进行这些探索。任何以同样诚意与美国合作的伙伴，都会发现美国是一个通情达理、慷慨大方的伙伴。
Undoubtedly, initial and early contributions to this plan would be small in quantity. However, the proposal has the great virtue that it can be undertaken without the irritations and mutual suspicions incident to any attempt to set up a completely acceptable system of world-wide inspection and control. 毫无疑问，该计划初期的捐献数量将会很少。然而，这项建议的巨大优点在于，它可以在不引发任何试图建立全球范围检查和控制系统所必然伴随的摩擦和相互猜疑的情况下付诸实施。
The Atomic Energy Agency could be made responsible for the impounding, storage, and protection of the contributed fissionable and other materials. The ingenuity of our scientists will provide special, safe conditions under which such a bank of fissionable material can be made essentially immune to surprise seizure. 国际原子能机构可以负责保管、储存和保护所捐献的可裂变材料和其他材料。我们科学家的智慧将提供特殊的安全条件，使这样一个可裂变材料库实质上不会被突然夺取。
The more important responsibility of this Atomic Energy Agency would be to devise methods whereby this fissionable material would be allocated to serve the peaceful pursuits of mankind. Experts would be mobilized to apply atomic energy to the needs of agriculture, medicine, and other peaceful activities. A special purpose would be to provide abundant electrical energy in the power-starved areas of the world. Thus the contributing Powers would be dedicating some of their strength to serve the needs rather than the fears of mankind. 这个国际原子能机构更为重要的职责，将是设计方法，将这些可裂变材料分配用于服务人类的和平事业。将调动专家将原子能应用于农业、医疗和其他和平活动的需要。一个特别的目标，是在世界电力匮乏地区提供充足的电能。这样，参与捐献的大国就将把自己的一部分力量用于满足人类的需求，而非加剧人类的恐惧。
The United States would be more than willing -- it would be proud to take up with others "principally involved" the development of plans whereby such peaceful use of atomic energy would be expedited. 美国不仅十分愿意——它将自豪地与其他"主要有关"国家一道，研究如何加速原子能的这种和平利用。
Of those "principally involved" the Soviet Union must, of course, be one. I would be prepared to submit to the Congress of the United States, and with every expectation of approval, any such plan that would meet the following four conditions. 在那些"主要有关"国家中，苏联当然必须是其中之一。我准备向美国国会提交任何此类计划，并期待获得批准，只要该计划满足以下四个条件。
First, encourage world-wide investigation into the most effective peacetime uses of fissionable material, and with the certainty that they [the investigators] had all the material needed for the conduct of all experiments that were appropriate; second, begin to diminish the potential destructive power of the world's atomic stockpiles. 第一，鼓励对可裂变材料最有效和平用途的全球性研究，并确保研究者拥有进行所有适当实验所需的全部材料；第二，开始逐步减少世界原子储备的潜在破坏力。
Third, allow all peoples of all nations to see that, in this enlightened age, the great Powers of the earth, both of the East and of the West, are interested in human aspirations first rather than in building up the armaments of war. 第三，让世界所有国家的人民看到，在这个开明的时代，地球上的东西方大国，首要关注的是人类的愿望，而非扩充战争军备。
Fourth, open up a new channel for peaceful discussion and initiate at least a new approach to the many difficult problems that must be solved in both private and public conversations, if the world is to shake off the inertia imposed by fear and is to make positive progress toward peace. 第四，开辟和平讨论的新渠道，至少为解决许多必须在私下和公开会谈中解决的棘手问题开启一种新方法，如果世界要摆脱恐惧造成的惰性，要在和平道路上取得积极进展的话。
Against the dark background of the atomic bomb, the United States does not wish merely to present strength, but also the desire and the hope for peace. 在原子弹的黑暗背景下，美国不仅仅希望展示力量，更希望展示对和平的渴望与希望。
The coming months will be fraught with fateful decisions. In this Assembly, in the capitals and military headquarters of the world, in the hearts of men everywhere, be they governed or governors, may they be the decisions which will lead this world out of fear and into peace. 未来的几个月将充满决定命运的抉择。在这个大会厅里，在世界各国的首都和军事总部里，在世界各地每个人——无论是统治者还是被统治者——的心中，愿这些抉择能够引导这个世界走出恐惧，走向和平。
To the making of these fateful decisions, the United States pledges before you, and therefore before the world, its determination to help solve the fearful atomic dilemma -- to devote its entire heart and mind to find the way by which the miraculous inventiveness of man shall not be dedicated to his death, but consecrated to his life. 在做出这些重大决定之际，美国在你们面前，也就是在全世界面前承诺，决心帮助解决这一可怕的原子难题——全心全意地寻找途径，使人类的非凡创造力不致被用于毁灭生命，而是致力于造福生命。
I again thank the delegates for the great honor they have done me in inviting me to appear before them and in listening to me so courteously. 我再次感谢各位代表给予我的巨大荣誉，邀请我在各位面前发言，并如此谦恭地聆听我的演讲。
