Thank you very much. To Sara Bloomfield, for the wonderful introduction and the outstanding work she's doing; to Fred Zeidman; Joel Geiderman; Mr. Wiesel -- thank you for your wisdom and your witness; Speaker Nancy Pelosi; Senator Dick Durbin; members of Congress; our good friend the Ambassador of Israel; members of the United States Holocaust Memorial Council; and most importantly, the survivors and rescuers and their families who are here today. It is a great honor for me to be here, and I'm grateful that I have the opportunity to address you briefly. 非常感谢大家。感谢萨拉·布卢姆菲尔德精彩的介绍和她所做的杰出工作；感谢弗雷德·蔡德曼；乔尔·盖德曼；威塞尔先生——感谢你们的智慧与见证；感谢佩洛西议长；迪克·德宾参议员；各位国会议员；我们的好朋友以色列大使；美国大屠杀纪念委员会的各位委员；最重要的是，今天到场的幸存者、救援者及其家属。能在这里我深感荣幸，也感激能有这个机会向各位简短致辞。
We gather today to mourn the loss of so many lives, and celebrate those who saved them; honor those who survived, and contemplate the obligations of the living. 我们今天聚在一起，悼念逝去的众多生命，赞颂那些拯救生命的人；向幸存者致敬，并思考生者肩负的责任。
It is the grimmest of ironies that one of the most savage, barbaric acts of evil in history began in one of the most modernized societies of its time, where so many markers of human progress became tools of human depravity: science that can heal used to kill; education that can enlighten used to rationalize away basic moral impulses; the bureaucracy that sustains modern life used as the machinery of mass death -- a ruthless, chillingly efficient system where many were responsible for the killing, but few got actual blood on their hands. 历史上最野蛮、最残忍的邪恶行径之一，却发端于当时最现代化的社会之一，这是最令人痛心的讽刺：在那片土地上，人类进步的诸多标志沦为人类堕落的工具——本可救死扶伤的科学被用来杀戮；本可启蒙心智的教育被用来为基本的道德冲动开脱；本可维系现代生活的官僚体制沦为大规模屠杀的机器——一个冷酷无情、效率骇人的体系，许多人对杀戮负有责任，却几乎无人真正沾染鲜血。
While the uniqueness of the Holocaust in scope and in method is truly astounding, the Holocaust was driven by many of the same forces that have fueled atrocities throughout history: the scapegoating that leads to hatred and blinds us to our common humanity; the justifications that replace conscience and allow cruelty to spread; the willingness of those who are neither perpetrators nor victims to accept the assigned role of bystander, believing the lie that good people are ever powerless or alone, the fiction that we do not have a choice. 大屠杀在规模和方法上的独特性确实令人震惊，但其背后驱动力与历史上众多暴行如出一辙：寻找替罪羊，进而滋生仇恨，蒙蔽我们对共同人性的认知；种种借口取代了良知，让残酷肆意蔓延；那些既非施害者也非受害者的人，甘愿扮演旁观者的角色，相信"善良的人永远无能为力或形单影只"的谎言，接受"我们别无选择"的虚构。
But while we are here today to bear witness to the human capacity to destroy, we are also here to pay tribute to the human impulse to save. In the moral accounting of the Holocaust, as we reckon with numbers like 6 million, as we recall the horror of numbers etched into arms, we also factor in numbers like these: 7,200 -- the number of Danish Jews ferried to safety, many of whom later returned home to find the neighbors who rescued them had also faithfully tended their homes and businesses and belongings while they were gone. 然而，我们今天在此不仅要见证人类自我毁灭的能力，也要颂扬人类拯救同类的冲动。在大屠杀的道德清算中，当我们面对六百万这样的数字，当我们回忆起烙印在手臂上的恐怖数字时，我们也要算上这样一些数字：七千二百——这是被安全转移的丹麦犹太人数量，他们中许多人后来回到家乡，发现救他们的邻居还忠实地照看着他们的房屋、生意和财物。
We remember the number five -- the five righteous men and women who join us today from Poland. We are awed by your acts of courage and conscience. And your presence today compels each of us to ask ourselves whether we would have done what you did. We can only hope that the answer is yes. 我们铭记"五"这个数字——今天与我们同在的五位来自波兰的义人。我们对你们的勇气与良知之举心怀敬畏。你们今天的到场，促使我们每一个人扪心自问：如果是我们，是否也会做出同样的选择？我们只能期望答案是肯定的。
We also remember the number 5,000 -- the number of Jews rescued by the villagers of Le Chambon, France -- one life saved for each of its 5,000 residents. Not a single Jew who came there was turned away, or turned in. But it was not until decades later that the villagers spoke of what they had done -- and even then, only reluctantly. The author of a book on the rescue found that those he interviewed were baffled by his interest. "How could you call us 'good'?" they said. "We were doing what had to be done." 我们还铭记"五千"这个数字——这是法国勒尚邦村村民所营救的犹太人数量——每一位居民救下了一条生命。没有一个来到那里的犹太人被拒之门外，也没有一个被出卖。但直到数十年后，村民们才谈及他们所做的一切——即便那时，也是勉为其难。一位研究这段救援经历的作者发现，他采访的村民对他的兴趣感到困惑。"你怎么能称我们为'好人'呢？"他们说，"我们只是做了该做的事。"
That is the question of the righteous -- those who would do extraordinary good at extraordinary risk not for affirmation or acclaim or to advance their own interests, but because it is what must be done. They remind us that no one is born a savior or a murderer -- these are choices we each have the power to make. They teach us that no one can make us into bystanders without our consent, and that we are never truly alone -- that if we have the courage to heed that "still, small voice" within us, we can form a minyan for righteousness that can span a village, even a nation. 这就是义人之问——那些以非凡的勇气去做非凡善举的人，不是为了肯定、赞誉或一己私利，而是因为那是必须做的事。他们提醒我们，没有人天生是救世主，也没有人天生是杀人凶手——这些都是我们每个人都有权做出的选择。他们教导我们，没有我们的默许，谁也不能把我们变成旁观者；我们永远并不孤单——只要我们有勇气倾听内心那"微小而平静的声音"，我们就能汇聚成一股正义的力量，足以覆盖一个村庄，甚至一个国家。
Their legacy is our inheritance. And the question is, how do we honor and preserve it? How do we ensure that "never again" isn't an empty slogan, or merely an aspiration, but also a call to action? 他们的遗产就是我们的传承。问题是，我们如何去尊重并守护这份遗产？我们如何确保"绝不再发生"不仅仅是一句空洞的口号，或仅仅是一种愿望，而是化为一项行动的召唤？
I believe we start by doing what we are doing today -- by bearing witness, by fighting the silence that is evil's greatest co-conspirator. 我相信，我们要从今天所做的事情开始——见证历史，与作为邪恶最大共谋的沉默作斗争。
In the face of horrors that defy comprehension, the impulse to silence is understandable. My own great uncle returned from his service in World War II in a state of shock, saying little, alone with painful memories that would not leave his head. He went up into the attic, according to the stories that I've heard, and wouldn't come down for six months. He was one of the liberators -- someone who at a very tender age had seen the unimaginable. And so some of the liberators who are here today honor us with their presence -- all of whom we honor for their extraordinary service. 面对难以理解的恐怖，沉默的冲动是可以理解的。我曾听人讲过，我的叔公从二战战场上归来时精神恍惚，沉默寡言，独自承受挥之不去的痛苦记忆。据我所听到的故事，他爬上了阁楼，半年都不肯下来。他是一位解放者——在非常年轻的年纪就目睹了难以想象的一切。今天在场的解放者们以他们的出席为我们带来荣耀——我们向他们所有人的非凡贡献致敬。
My great uncle was part of the 89th Infantry Division -- the first Americans to reach a Nazi concentration camp. And they liberated Ohrdruf, part of Buchenwald, where tens of thousands had perished. 我的叔公隶属第89步兵师——这是抵达纳粹集中营的第一批美军。他们解放了布痕瓦尔德集中营的一部分——奥尔德鲁夫，那里有数万人丧生。
The story goes that when the Americans marched in, they discovered the starving survivors and the piles of dead bodies. And General Eisenhower made a decision. He ordered Germans from the nearby town to tour the camp, so they could see what had been done in their name. And he ordered American troops to tour the camp, so they could see the evil they were fighting against. Then he invited congressmen and journalists to bear witness. And he ordered that photographs and films be made. 据传，当美军开进集中营时，他们发现了饿得奄奄一息的幸存者和成堆的尸体。艾森豪威尔将军做出了一个决定。他命令附近城镇的德国人参观集中营，让他们看看以他们的名义做了什么。他又命令美军士兵参观集中营，让他们看看自己所抗击的邪恶。随后，他邀请国会议员和记者前来见证。他还下令拍摄照片和影片。
Some of us have seen those same images, whether in the Holocaust Museum or when I visited Yad Vashem, and they never leave you. Eisenhower said that he wanted "to be in a position to give firsthand evidence of these things, if ever, in the future, there develops a tendency to charge these allegations merely to propaganda." 我们中的一些人见过那些影像，无论是在大屠杀纪念馆，还是在我参观亚德瓦谢姆时，它们都让人终生难忘。艾森豪威尔说，他希望"能够在未来出现一种倾向，将这些指控仅仅归为宣传时，亲历并给出第一手的证据"。
Eisenhower understood the danger of silence. He understood that if no one knew what had happened, that would be yet another atrocity -- and it would be the perpetrators' ultimate triumph. 艾森豪威尔深知沉默的危险。他明白，如果无人知晓发生过的一切，那将是又一场暴行——也是施害者的最终胜利。
What Eisenhower did to record these crimes for history is what we are doing here today. That's what Elie Wiesel and the survivors we honor here do by fighting to make their memories part of our collective memory. That's what the Holocaust Museum does every day on our National Mall, the place where we display for the world our triumphs and failures and the lessons we've learned from our history. It's the very opposite of silence. 艾森豪威尔为历史记录这些罪行的举措，正是我们今天在此所做的。这也是埃利·威塞尔和我们在此致敬的幸存者们所做的事——他们努力让自己的记忆成为我们共同记忆的一部分。这也是大屠杀纪念馆每天在国家广场上所做的工作——那个地方向世界展示我们的成就与失败，以及我们从历史中汲取的教训。这与沉默恰恰相反。
But we must also remember that bearing witness is not the end of our obligation -- it's just the beginning. We know that evil has yet to run its course on Earth. We've seen it in this century in the mass graves and the ashes of villages burned to the ground, and children used as soldiers and rape used as a weapon of war. To this day, there are those who insist the Holocaust never happened; who perpetrate every form of intolerance -- racism and anti-Semitism, homophobia, xenophobia, sexism, and more -- hatred that degrades its victim and diminishes us all. 然而我们也要铭记，见证并非我们义务的终点——而仅仅是起点。我们知道，邪恶在地球上尚未走到尽头。本世纪我们仍然看到它——在万人坑里，在被焚毁的村庄灰烬中，在被迫参战的儿童身上，在被用作战争武器的强奸中。时至今日，仍有人坚称大屠杀从未发生；仍有人在犯下各种形式的不宽容——种族主义与反犹太主义、恐同、排外、性别歧视等等——这些仇恨既贬损了受害者，也贬损了我们所有人。
Today, and every day, we have an opportunity, as well as an obligation, to confront these scourges -- to fight the impulse to turn the channel when we see images that disturb us, or wrap ourselves in the false comfort that others' sufferings are not our own. 今天，以及每一天，我们都既有机会也有义务去直面这些祸害——当我们看到令人不安的画面时，要对抗想要换台的冲动，对抗用"他人的苦难与我无关"这种虚假安慰来麻痹自己。
Instead we have the opportunity to make a habit of empathy; to recognize ourselves in each other; to commit ourselves to resisting injustice and intolerance and indifference in whatever forms they may take -- whether confronting those who tell lies about history, or doing everything we can to prevent and end atrocities like those that took place in Rwanda, those taking place in Darfur. That is my commitment as President. I hope that is yours, as well. 相反，我们有机会把同理心养成习惯；在彼此身上看到自己；无论不公、不宽容和冷漠以何种形式出现，都坚定地予以抵制——无论是直面那些歪曲历史的人，还是竭尽所能去防止和终结像卢旺达那样曾发生、像达尔富尔那样正在发生的暴行。这是我作为总统的承诺，我希望这也是你们的承诺。
It will not be easy. At times, fulfilling these obligations require self-reflection. But in the final analysis, I believe history gives us cause for hope rather than despair -- the hope of a chosen people who have overcome oppression since the days of Exodus; of the nation of Israel rising from the destruction of the Holocaust; of the strong and enduring bonds between our nations. 这并不容易。有时，履行这些义务需要自我反思。但归根结底，我相信历史给我们的是希望而非绝望——希望来自一个自出埃及记以来便不断战胜压迫的选民；希望来自从大屠杀的废墟中崛起的以色列国；希望来自我们两国之间坚固而持久的纽带。
It is the hope, too, of those who not only survived, but chose to live, teaching us the meaning of courage and resilience and dignity. I'm thinking today of a study conducted after the war that found that Holocaust survivors living in America actually had a higher birthrate than American Jews. What a stunning act of faith -- to bring a child in a world that has shown you so much cruelty; to believe that no matter what you have endured, or how much you have lost, in the end, you have a duty to life. 这种希望也来自那些不仅幸存下来、更选择继续活下去的人们，他们教会我们勇气、韧性与尊严的含义。今天我想起战后的一项研究，发现生活在美国的大屠杀幸存者实际上比美国犹太人的出生率更高。这是多么令人震撼的信念之举——在一个向你展现过如此多残酷的世界里迎接一个孩子的到来；相信无论你经历了什么，无论你失去了多少，归根结底，你对生命负有责任。
We find cause for hope as well in Protestant and Catholic children attending school together in Northern Ireland; in Hutus and Tutsis living side by side, forgiving neighbors who have done the unforgivable; in a movement to save Darfur that has thousands of high school and college chapters in 25 countries, and brought 70,000 people to the Washington Mall -- people of every age and faith and background and race united in common cause with suffering brothers and sisters halfway around the world. 我们也在以下场景中找到希望的理由：北爱尔兰的新教徒和天主教徒孩子一同上学；胡图族与图西族比邻而居，宽恕犯下不可饶恕之罪的邻居；一场拯救达尔富尔的运动，在25个国家拥有数千个高中和大学分会，并把七万人聚集到华盛顿国家广场——不同年龄、信仰、背景和种族的人们，与远在世界另一半的受苦受难的兄弟姐妹团结一心，为共同的事业而行动。
Those numbers can be our future -- our fellow citizens of the world showing us how to make the journey from oppression to survival, from witness to resistance, and ultimately to reconciliation. That is what we mean when we say "never again." 这些数字可以成为我们的未来——我们这个地球上的同胞公民向我们展示，如何走完从压迫到生存、从见证到抵抗、最终到和解的路途。这就是我们说"绝不再发生"时的真正含义。
So today, during this season when we celebrate liberation, resurrection, and the possibility of redemption, may each of us renew our resolve to do what must be done. And may we strive each day, both individually and as a nation, to be among the righteous. 因此，今天，在我们庆祝解放、复活以及救赎可能性的时节里，愿我们每一个人重新下定决心，去做必须做的事。愿我们每一天都竭尽全力，无论作为个人还是作为一个国家，都努力跻身义人之列。
Thank you, God bless you, and God bless the United States of America. 谢谢大家，愿上帝保佑你们，愿上帝保佑美利坚合众国。
