Good morning. And thank you to everyone who worked to bring us to this day, especially the International Auschwitz Council and the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum. 早上好。感谢每一位为今天这一天的到来而付出努力的人，特别是国际奥斯维辛委员会和奥斯维辛-比克瑙国家博物馆。
To President Kacynski, Prime Minister Tusk, and to the people of Poland: Thank you for preserving a place of such great pain for the Polish people, but a place of remembrance and learning for the world. 致卡钦斯基总统、图斯克总理以及波兰人民：感谢你们保存了这个对波兰人民而言充满巨大痛苦的地方，但它也是世界纪念与学习的场所。
Although I can't be with you in person, I am proud that the United States is represented there today by a delegation of distinguished Americans, including Ambassador Feinstein; my wife Michelle's chief of staff, Susan Sher; and my good friend, and the son of Holocaust survivors, Julius Genachowski. 虽然我无法亲自与你们同在，但我为美国今天能由一个杰出的美国人代表团代表出席而感到自豪，其中包括费因斯坦大使；我妻子米歇尔的办公厅主任苏珊·谢尔；以及我的好朋友、大屠杀幸存者之子朱利叶斯·杰纳乔斯基。
And let me commend you for recognizing a woman who has devoted her life to preserving the lessons of the shoah for future generations -- Sara Bloomfield of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington. 我还要赞扬你们表彰了一位毕生致力于为后代保存大屠杀教训的女性——华盛顿美国大屠杀纪念博物馆的萨拉·布鲁姆菲尔德。
But most of all, I want to thank those of you who found the strength to come back again, so many years later, despite the horror you saw here, the suffering you endured here, and the loved ones you lost here. Those of us who did not live through those dark days will never truly understand what it means to have hate literally etched into your arms. But we understand the message that you carry in your hearts. 但最重要的是，我要感谢你们当中那些在多年之后找到力量再次回到这里的人，尽管你们在这里看到了恐怖，在这里经受了苦难，在这里失去了亲人。我们这些没有经历过那些黑暗岁月的人，永远无法真正理解仇恨被刻在你们手臂上意味着什么。但我们理解你们心中所承载的信息。
For you know the truth that Elie Wiesel spoke when I stood with him at Buchenwald last spring. There, where his father and so many innocent souls left this earth, Elie said: "...memory has become [a] sacred duty of all people of goodwill." 因为你们知道埃利·维塞尔去年春天我与他在布痕瓦尔德并肩站立时所讲的真理。在那里，他的父亲和如此多无辜的灵魂离开了人世，埃利说："……记忆已成为所有心怀善意之人的神圣责任。"
We have a sacred duty to remember the twisted thinking that led here -- how a great society of culture and science succumbed to the worst instincts of man and rationalized mass murder and one of the most barbaric acts in history. 我们有一项神圣的责任，去铭记导致这里的扭曲思想——一个拥有文化与科学的伟大社会如何屈从于人类最恶劣的本能，将大规模谋杀和历史上最野蛮的行为之一合理化。
We have a sacred duty to remember the cruelty that occurred here, as told in the simple objects that speak to us even now: the suitcases that still bear their names; the wooden clogs they wore; the round bowls from which they ate; those brick buildings from which there was no escape -- where so many Jews died with Sh'ma Israel on their lips; and the very earth at Auschwitz, which is still hallowed by their ashes -- Jews and those who tried to save them, Polish and Hungarian, French and Dutch, Roma and Russian, straight and gay, and so many others. 我们有一项神圣的责任，去铭记这里发生的残酷，正如那些至今仍在向我们诉说的简单物件所述：仍然刻着他们名字的行李箱；他们穿过的木屐；他们用来吃饭的圆碗；那些无法逃脱的砖砌建筑——在那里，如此多的犹太人嘴里念着"示玛·以色列"而死去；以及奥斯维辛的那片土地，至今仍因他们的骨灰而神圣——犹太人和那些试图拯救他们的人，波兰人和匈牙利人，法国人和荷兰人，罗姆人和俄罗斯人，异性恋者和同性恋者，还有许多其他人。
But even as we recall man's capacity for evil, Auschwitz also tells another story -- of man's capacity for good: the small acts of compassion -- the sharing of some bread that kept a child alive; the great acts of resistance that blew up the crematorium and tried to stop the slaughter; the Polish Rescuers; and those who earned their place forever in the Righteous Among the Nations. 但即使我们回顾人类作恶的能力，奥斯维辛也讲述了另一个故事——人类行善的能力：那些小小的同情之举——分享一些面包让一个孩子活下来；那些炸毁焚尸炉并试图阻止屠杀的伟大抵抗行为；那些波兰救援者；以及那些永远在"列国义人"中赢得一席之地的人。
And you: the survivors. 还有你们：幸存者们。
The perpetrators of that crime tried to annihilate the entire Jewish people. But they failed. Because 65 years ago today, when the gates flew open, you were still standing. And every day that you have lived, every child and grandchild that your families have brought into the world with love, every day the sun rises on the Jewish state of Israel -- that is the ultimate rebuke to the ignorance and hatred of this place. 那场罪行的施暴者试图消灭整个犹太民族。但他们失败了。因为65年前的今天，当大门敞开时，你们仍然站着。你们活着的每一天，你们的家庭用爱带到这个世界上的每一个孩子和孙辈，太阳在犹太国家以色列升起的每一天——那都是对这个地方无知与仇恨的最终驳斥。
So to those of you who have come back today, I say, no, you are not "former prisoners." You are living memorials: living memorials to the loved ones you left here, and to the spirit we must strive to uphold in our time -- not simply to bear witness, but to bear a burden -- the burden of seeing our common humanity; of resisting anti-Semitism and ignorance in all its forms; of refusing to become bystanders to evil, whenever and wherever it rears its ugly face. 所以，对你们当中今天回来的人，我要说，不，你们不是"前囚犯"。你们是活着的纪念：是你们留在这里的亲人的活着的纪念，也是我们必须在当代努力捍卫的精神的活着的纪念——不仅仅是为了见证，更是为了承担一种负担——看到我们共同人性的负担；抵制一切形式的反犹太主义与无知的负担；拒绝成为邪恶旁观者的负担，无论它何时何地露出丑陋的面目。
Let that be the true meaning of Auschwitz. Let that be the liberation we celebrate today -- a liberation of the spirit that, if embraced, can lead us all -- individuals and as nations -- to be among the righteous. 让这成为奥斯维辛的真正意义。让这成为我们今天所庆祝的解放——一种精神上的解放，如果被接受，可以引导我们所有人——无论是个人还是国家——成为义人。
May God bless you all, and may God bless the memory of all those who rest here. 愿上帝保佑你们所有人，愿上帝保佑所有长眠于此者的记忆。
