PRESIDENT OBAMA: Good evening, everyone. Tomorrow, after nearly two years, Israelis and Palestinians will resume direct talks in pursuit of a goal that we all share -- two states, Israel and Palestine, living side by side in peace and security. Tonight, I'm pleased to welcome to the White House key partners in this effort, along with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and the representative of our Quartet partners, former Prime Minister Tony Blair. 奥巴马总统：大家晚上好。明天，时隔近两年，以色列人和巴勒斯坦人将恢复直接谈判，追求我们共同的目标——两个国家，以色列和巴勒斯坦，在和平与安全中比邻而居。今晚，我很高兴在白宫迎接这一努力中的关键伙伴，以及国务卿希拉里·克林顿和我们的四方伙伴代表、前首相托尼·布莱尔。
President Abbas, Prime Minister Netanyahu, Your Majesty King Abdullah, and President Mubarak -- we are but five men. Our dinner this evening will be a small gathering around a single table. Yet when we come together, we will not be alone. We'll be joined by the generations -- those who have gone before and those who will follow. 阿巴斯总统、内塔尼亚胡总理、阿卜杜拉国王陛下、穆巴拉克总统——我们不过是五个人。今晚的晚宴将是围坐在一张桌旁的小型聚会。然而当我们聚在一起，我们并非孤独一人。历代先人与后世子孙都将与我们同在。
Each of you are the heirs of peacemakers who dared greatly -- Begin and Sadat, Rabin and King Hussein -- statesmen who saw the world as it was but also imagined the world as it should be. It is the shoulders of our predecessors upon which we stand. It is their work that we carry on. Now, like each of them, we must ask, do we have the wisdom and the courage to walk the path of peace? 你们每一位都是敢于担当的和平缔造者的继承者——贝京与萨达特，拉宾与侯赛因国王——这些政治家既看到了世界的现状，也设想了世界应有的模样。我们站在前辈的肩膀上。我们继续着他们未竟的事业。如今，与他们一样，我们必须自问：我们是否拥有走和平之路的智慧与勇气？
All of us are leaders of our people, who, no matter the language they speak or the faith they practice, all basically seek the same things: to live in security, free from fear; to live in dignity, free from want; to provide for their families and to realize a better tomorrow. Tonight, they look to us, and each of us must decide, will we work diligently to fulfill their aspirations? 我们都是本国人民的领袖，无论人民讲何种语言、信仰何种宗教，基本上都在寻求同样的东西：在安全中生活，免于恐惧；在尊严中生活，免于匮乏；赡养家人，实现更美好的明天。今晚，他们寄望于我们，我们每个人都要做出决定：我们将勤勉工作以实现他们的愿望吗？
And though each of us holds a title of honor -- President, Prime Minister, King -- we are bound by the one title we share. We are fathers, blessed with sons and daughters. So we must ask ourselves what kind of world do we want to bequeath to our children and our grandchildren. 尽管我们每个人都拥有尊贵的头衔——总统、总理、国王——但我们被一个共同的头衔联系在一起。我们是父亲，蒙受儿女的祝福。因此我们必须自问：我们希望留给子孙后代一个怎样的世界？
Tonight, and in the days and months ahead, these are the questions that we must answer. And this is a fitting moment to do so. For Muslims, this is Ramadan. For Jews, this is Elul. It is rare for those two months to coincide. But this year, tonight, they do. 今晚，以及在未来的日子里，这些都是我们必须回答的问题。而这是一个合适的时刻来这样做。对穆斯林而言，这是斋月。对犹太人而言，这是以禄月。这两个月很少重合。但今年，今晚，它们重合了。
Different faiths, different rituals, but a shared period of devotion -- and contemplation. A time to reflect on right and wrong; a time to ponder one's place in the world; a time when the people of two great religions remind the world of a truth that is both simple and profound, that each of us, all of us, in our hearts and in our lives, are capable of great and lasting change. 不同的信仰，不同的仪式，却是一段共同的虔诚与沉思之时。一段反思是非的时刻；一段思考自身在世界上所处位置的时光；一段两大宗教的人民提醒世界一个既简单又深刻的真理的时光，那就是我们每个人、我们所有人，在心中和生活中，都有能力实现伟大而持久的改变。
In this spirit, I welcome my partners. And I invite each to say a few words before we begin our meal, beginning with President Mubarak, on to His Majesty King Abdullah, Prime Minister Netanyahu and President Abbas. 本着这种精神，我欢迎我的伙伴们。我邀请每位在开始用餐前讲几句话，从穆巴拉克总统开始，接着是阿卜杜拉国王陛下、内塔尼亚胡总理和阿巴斯总统。
President Mubarak. 穆巴拉克总统。
PRESIDENT MUBARAK: [As prepared for delivery.] I am pleased to participate with you today in relaunching direct peace negotiations between Palestinians and Israelis. Like you, and the millions of Palestinians, Israelis, Arabs and the rest of the world, I look forward that these negotiations be final and decisive, and that they lead to a peace agreement within one year. 穆巴拉克总统：[按预先准备的讲稿。] 我很高兴今天能与您一起重新启动巴勒斯坦人与以色列人之间的直接和平谈判。和您一样，和数百万巴勒斯坦人、以色列人、阿拉伯人以及世界其他人一样，我期待这些谈判是最终且决定性的，并在一年内达成和平协议。
Our meet today would not have taken place without the considerable effort exerted by the American administration under the leadership of President Obama. I pay tribute to you, Mr. President, for your personal, serious commit and for your determination to work for a peaceful settlement of the question of Palestine since the early days of your presidency. I appreciate your perseverance throughout the past period to overcome the difficulties facing the relaunching of the negotiations. 我们今天的会晤若无奥巴马总统领导下的美国政府的巨大努力便不会实现。总统先生，我向您致敬，感谢您个人的郑重承诺，以及自您就任总统以来为和平解决巴勒斯坦问题而工作的决心。我赞赏您在过去一段时间里为克服重启谈判所面临的困难而表现出的坚持不懈。
[Continued as translated.] I consider this invitation a manifestation of your commitment and a significant message that the United States will shepherd these negotiations seriously and at the highest level. [继续按译文。] 我将这一邀请视为您承诺的体现，以及一个重要信号：美国将以最高层级认真引导这些谈判。
No one realizes the value of peace more than those who have known wars and their havoc. It was my destiny to witness over many events in our region during the years of war and peace. I have gone through wars and hostilities, and have participated in the quest for peace since the first day of my administration. I have never spared an effort to push it forward, and I still look forward to its success and completion. 没有人比那些经历过战争及其浩劫的人更懂得和平的价值。命运让我见证了我国区域在战争与和平岁月中的诸多事件。我经历过战争与敌对，自我就任第一天起便参与了寻求和平的努力。我从未吝惜推动和平的努力，我仍期待它的成功与完成。
The efforts to achieve peace between the Palestinians and the Israelis encountered many difficulties since the Madrid Conference in October 1999, and progress and regression, breakthroughs and setbacks, but the occupation of the Palestinian Territory remains an independent -- an independent Palestinian state is yet -- remains a dream in the conscious of the Palestinian people. 自1999年10月马德里会议以来，巴勒斯坦人与以色列人之间实现和平的努力遭遇了许多困难，有进展也有倒退，有突破也有挫折，但对巴勒斯坦领土的占领仍在持续——一个独立的巴勒斯坦国仍是——仍是巴勒斯坦人民心中的梦想。
There is no doubt that this situation should raise great frustration and anger among our people, for it is no longer acceptable or conceivable on the verge of the second decade of the third millennium that we fail to achieve just and true peace -- peace that would put an end to the century of conflict, fulfill the legitimate aspirations of the Palestinian people, lift the occupation, allow for the establishment of normal relations between the Palestinians and Israelis. 毫无疑问，这种状况应当引起我国人民的极大沮丧和愤怒，因为在第三个千年的第二个十年即将到来之际，我们未能实现公正真正的和平——这种和平将结束一个世纪的冲突，实现巴勒斯坦人民的正当愿望，结束占领，允许巴勒斯坦人与以色列人之间建立正常关系，这已不再可接受或可想象。
It is true that reaching a just and comprehensive peace treaty between both sides has been an elusive hope for almost two decades. Yet the accumulated experience of both parties, the extended rounds of negotiations, and the previous understandings, particularly during the Clinton parameters of 2000, and subsequent understandings of Taba and with the previous Israeli government, all contributed in setting the outline of the final settlement. 确实，双方之间达成公正全面的和平条约近二十年来一直是难以实现的希望。然而双方积累的经验、多轮谈判以及此前的谅解，尤其是2000年克林顿参数期间，以及塔巴协议和与前以色列政府达成的谅解，都为最终解决的轮廓设定做出了贡献。
This outline has become well known to the international community and to both peoples -- the Palestinian and Israeli people. Hence, it is expected that the current negotiations will not start from scratch or in void. No doubt, the position of the international community, as is stated in the consecutive statements of the Quartet, in particular, in its latest August 20th statement, paid due respect to relevant international resolutions and supported the outline of final settlements using different formulation without prejudice to the outcome of negotiations. 这一轮廓已为国际社会和两国人民——巴勒斯坦和以色列人民——所熟知。因此，可以预期当前的谈判不会从零开始或在真空中进行。毫无疑问，国际社会的立场，正如四方连续声明中所阐述的，特别是其8月20日的最新声明，对相关国际决议给予了应有尊重，并支持最终解决的轮廓，使用了不同的表述而不损害谈判的结果。
It has stressed that the aim of the soon-to-start direct negotiation is to reach a peaceful settlement that would end the Israeli occupation which began in 1967, allowing for the independent and sovereign state of Palestine to emerge and live side by side in peace and security with the state of Israel. 它强调即将开始的直接谈判的目标是达成和平解决，结束1967年开始的以色列占领，使独立主权的巴勒斯坦国得以出现，并与以色列国在和平与安全中比邻而居。
I met with Prime Minister Netanyahu many times since he took office last year. In our meetings, I listened to assertions on his willingness to achieve peace with the Palestinians, and for history to record his name for such an achievement. I say to him today that I look forward to achieving those assertions in reality, and his success in achieving the long-awaited peace, which I know the people of Israel yearn for, just like all other people in the region. 自内塔尼亚胡总理去年就任以来，我与他多次会晤。在我们的会谈中，我听到了他关于愿意与巴勒斯坦人实现和平、让历史铭记他这一成就的表态。我今天对他说，我期待这些表态变为现实，期待他成功实现以色列人民所渴望的、与区域内所有其他人民一样的长久期盼的和平。
Reaching just peace with the Palestinians will require from Israel taking important and decisive decisions -- decisions that are undoubtedly difficult yet they will be necessary to achieve peace and stability, and in a different context than the one that prevailed before. Settlement activities on the Palestinian Territory are contrary to international law. They will not create rights for Israel, nor are they going to achieve peace or security for Israel. 与巴勒斯坦人达成公正和平需要以色列做出重要而决定性的决定——这些决定无疑困难，但对于实现和平与稳定是必要的，并且是在与以往不同的背景下。巴勒斯坦领土上的定居点活动违反国际法。它们不会为以色列创造权利，也不会为以色列带来和平或安全。
It is, therefore, a priority to completely freeze all these activities until the entire negotiation process comes to a successful end. 因此，当务之急是完全冻结所有这些活动，直至整个谈判进程取得圆满成功。
I say to the Israelis, seize the current opportunity. Do not let it slip through your fingers. Make comprehensive peace your goal. Extend your hand to meet the hand already extended in the Arab Peace Initiative. 我对以色列人说，抓住当前的机遇。不要让它从指缝中溜走。将全面和平作为你们的目标。伸出你们的手，去迎接阿拉伯和平倡议中已经伸出的手。
I say to President Mahmoud Abbas, Egypt will continue its faithful support to the patient Palestinian people and their just cause. We will continue our concerted efforts to help fulfill the aspirations of your people and retrieve their legitimate rights. We will stand by you until the independent state of Palestine on the land occupied since 1967 with East Jerusalem as its capital. 我对马哈茂德·阿巴斯总统说，埃及将继续忠实地支持坚韧的巴勒斯坦人民及其正义事业。我们将继续竭尽全力帮助实现贵国人民的愿望，恢复他们的合法权利。我们将与你们站在一起，直到在1967年以来被占领的土地上、以东耶路撒冷为首都建立独立的巴勒斯坦国。
We will also continue our efforts to achieve Palestinian reconciliation for the sake of the Palestinian national interest. 我们也将继续努力，为巴勒斯坦民族利益实现巴勒斯坦和解。
Once again, I'd like to express my thanks to President Obama, and I renew Egypt's commitment to continue exerting all efforts, sharing honest advice and a commitment to the principles on which Arab and regional policy rests upon. 再次向奥巴马总统表达我的感谢，我重申埃及的承诺，将继续竭尽全力，分享诚恳的建议，并坚守阿拉伯和区域政策所依据的原则。
Please accept my appreciation, and peace be upon you. 请接受我的谢意，愿和平归于你们。
HIS MAJESTY KING ABDULLAH: [As translated.] In the name of God most merciful, most compassionate, President Obama, peace be upon you. [In English.] For decades, a Palestinian-Israeli settlement has eluded us. Millions of men, women and children have suffered. Too many people have lost faith in our ability to bring them the peace they want. 阿卜杜拉国王陛下：[据译文。] 奉至仁至慈的真主之名，奥巴马总统，愿和平归于您。[改用英语。] 数十年来，巴以问题的解决一直与我们擦肩而过。数百万男女儿童饱受苦难。太多的人已对我们能为他们带来所渴望和平的能力失去了信心。
Radicals and terrorists have exploited frustrations to feed hatred and ignite wars. The whole world has been dragged into regional conflicts that cannot be addressed effectively until Arabs and Israelis find peace. 激进分子和恐怖分子利用沮丧情绪煽动仇恨、点燃战争。整个世界被卷入区域冲突，这些冲突在阿拉伯人和以色列人实现和平之前无法得到有效解决。
This past record drives the importance of our efforts today. There are those on both sides who want us to fail, who will do everything in their power to disrupt our efforts today -- because when the Palestinians and Israelis find peace, when young men and women can look to a future of promise and opportunity, radicals and extremists lose their most potent appeal. 过去的记录彰显了我们今日努力的重要性。双方都有人希望我们失败，他们将竭尽全力破坏我们今天的努力——因为当巴勒斯坦人和以色列人实现和平，当年轻男女能够展望充满希望和机遇的未来，激进分子和极端分子便失去了最有力的号召力。
This is why we must prevail. For our failure would be their success in sinking the region into more instability and wars that will cause further suffering in our region and beyond. 这就是我们必须成功的原因。因为我们的失败将是他们在使该地区陷入更多动荡和战争方面的成功，那将给我们的区域及更广阔范围带来更多苦难。
President Obama, we value your commitment to the cause of peace in our region. We count on your continued engagement to help the parties move forward. You have said that Middle East peace is in the national security interest of your country. And we believe it is. 奥巴马总统，我们珍视您对我国区域和平事业的承诺。我们指望您继续参与，帮助各方向前推进。您曾说过，中东和平贵国的国家安全利益所在。我们相信确实如此。
And it is also a strategic European interest, and it is a necessary requirement for global security and stability. Peace is also a right for every citizen in our region. A Palestinian-Israeli settlement on the basis of two states living side by side is a precondition for security and stability of all countries of the Middle East, with a regional peace that will lead to normal relations between Israel and 57 Arab and Muslim states that have endorsed the Arab Peace Initiative. 这也是欧洲的战略利益，也是全球安全与稳定的必要条件。和平也是我国区域每个公民的权利。在两国并存的基础上解决巴以问题是中东所有国家安全与稳定的先决条件，区域和平将使以色列与57个支持阿拉伯和平倡议的阿拉伯和穆斯林国家建立正常关系。
That would be -- well, that would also be an essential step towards neutralizing forces of evil and war that threaten all peoples. 那将——那也将是迈向中和威胁所有人民的邪恶与战争力量的重要一步。
Mr. President, we need your support as a mediator, honest broker, and a partner, as the parties move along the hard but inevitable path of settlements. 总统先生，在各方沿着艰难却不可避免的解决之路前行时，我们需要您的支持，作为调停者、诚实的中间人和伙伴。
Your Excellencies, all eyes are upon us. The direct negotiations that will start tomorrow must show results -- and sooner rather than later. Time is not on our side. That is why we must spare no effort in addressing all final status issues with a view to reaching the two-state solution, the only solution that can create a future worthy of our great region -- a future of peace in which fathers and mothers can raise their children without fear, young people can look forward to lives of achievement and hope, and 300 million people can cooperate for mutual benefit. 各位阁下，所有目光都聚焦于我们。明天开始的直接谈判必须显示成果——而且是越快越好。时间不站在我们这边。这就是为什么我们必须不遗余力地处理所有最终地位问题，以期达成两国解决方案，这是唯一能为伟大区域创造未来的解决方案——一个和平的未来，父母能够无所恐惧地养育子女，年轻人能够期待充满成就与希望的生活，三亿人民能够为共同利益合作。
For too long, too many people of the region have been denied their most basic of human rights: the right to live in peace and security; respected in their human dignity; enjoying freedom and opportunity. If hopes are disappointed again, the price of failure will be too high for all. 长期以来，区域内有太多人被剥夺了最基本的权利：在和平与安全中生活的权利；其人格尊严受到尊重；享受自由与机遇。如果希望再次破灭，失败的代价对所有人而言都将太高。
Our peoples want us to rise to their expectations. And we can do so if we approach these negotiations with goodwill, sincerity and courage. 我们的人民希望我们不负他们的期望。如果我们以善意、真诚和勇气来对待这些谈判，我们就能做到。
PRIME MINISTER NETANYAHU: Mr. President, Excellencies, Shalom Aleichem. Shalom Alkulanu. Peace unto us all. 内塔尼亚胡总理：总统先生，各位阁下，愿和平降临于你们。愿和平降临于我们所有人。和平归于我们所有人。
I'm very pleased to be here today to begin our common effort to achieve a lasting peace between Israelis and Palestinians. 我今天非常高兴来到这里，开始我们为以色列人和巴勒斯坦人之间实现持久和平而共同努力。
I want to thank you, President Obama, for your tireless efforts to renew this quest for peace. I want to thank Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Senator Mitchell, the many members of the Obama administration, and Tony Blair, who've all worked so hard to bring Israelis and Palestinians together here today. 奥巴马总统，我要感谢您为重启这一和平追求所做的不懈努力。我要感谢国务卿希拉里·克林顿、米切尔参议员、奥巴马政府的众多成员，以及托尼·布莱尔，他们所有人都为今天让以色列人和巴勒斯坦人聚在一起而努力工作。
I also want to thank President Mubarak and King Abdullah for their dedicated and meaningful support to promote peace, security, and stability throughout our region. I deeply appreciate your presence here today. 我还要感谢穆巴拉克总统和阿卜杜拉国王，感谢他们为促进我国区域的和平、安全与稳定所做出的执着而有意义的支持。我深深感激你们今天的光临。
I began with a Hebrew word for peace, "shalom." Our goal is shalom. Our goal is to forge a secure and durable peace between Israelis and Palestinians. We don't seek a brief interlude between two wars. We don't seek a temporary respite between outbursts of terror. We seek a peace that will end the conflict between us once and for all. 我以一个希伯来语的和平之词"shalom"开始。我们的目标就是shalom。我们的目标是铸就以巴之间安全而持久的和平。我们不寻求两场战争之间的短暂间歇。我们不寻求恐怖爆发之间的暂时喘息。我们寻求的和平将一劳永逸地结束我们之间的冲突。
We seek a peace that will last for generations -- our generation, our children's generation, and the next. 我们寻求的和平将持续数代——我们这一代，我们子女的那一代，以及下一代。
This is the peace my people fervently want. This is the peace all our peoples fervently aspire to. This is the peace they deserve. 这是我的人民热切渴望的和平。这是我们所有人民热切向往的和平。这是他们应得的和平。
Now, a lasting peace is a peace between peoples -- between Israelis and Palestinians. We must learn to live together, to live next to one another and with one another. But every peace begins with leaders. 持久的和平是人民之间的和平——以色列人和巴勒斯坦人之间的和平。我们必须学会共处，比邻而居，相互依存。但每一次和平都始于领袖。
President Abbas, you are my partner in peace. And it is up to us, with the help of our friends, to conclude the agonizing conflict between our peoples and to afford them a new beginning. The Jewish people are not strangers in our ancestral homeland, the land of our forefathers. But we recognize that another people shares this land with us. 阿巴斯总统，你是我的和平伙伴。在我们朋友的帮助下，由我们结束两国人民之间痛苦的冲突，为他们开启新的篇章。犹太民族并非我们祖传故土、我们先辈之地的外人。但我们承认，另一个民族与我们共享这片土地。
I came here today to find an historic compromise that will enable both our peoples to live in peace and security and in dignity. I've been making the case for Israel all of my life. But I didn't come here today to make an argument. I came here today to make peace. I didn't come here today to play a blame game where even the winners lose. Everybody loses if there's no peace. I came here to achieve a peace that will bring a lasting benefit to us all. I didn't come here to find excuses or to make them. I came here to find solutions. 我今天来到这里，是为找到一个历史性的妥协，使我们两国人民都能在和平、安全与尊严中生活。我一生都在为以色列的事业辩护。但我今天来不是为了辩论。我今天来是为了实现和平。我今天来不是为了玩一场互相指责的游戏，那种游戏即便赢家也是输家。如果没有和平，所有人都输了。我来是为了实现将给我们所有人带来持久利益的和平。我来不是为了找借口或制造借口。我来是为了寻找解决方案。
I know the history of our conflict and the sacrifices that have been made. I know the grief that has afflicted so many families who have lost their dearest loved ones. Only yesterday four Israelis, including a pregnant women -- a pregnant woman -- and another woman, a mother of six children, were brutally murdered by savage terrorists. And two hours ago, there was another terror attack. And thank God no one died. 我了解我们冲突的历史以及所做出的牺牲。我了解痛苦如何折磨着那么多失去了至亲的家庭。就在昨天，四名以色列人——其中包括一名孕妇——一名孕妇——还有另一名妇女，六个孩子的母亲，被残忍的恐怖分子野蛮杀害。两小时前，又发生了一起恐怖袭击。感谢上帝，没有人丧生。
I will not let the terrorists block our path to peace, but as these events underscore once again, that peace must be anchored in security. I'm prepared to walk down the path of peace, because I know what peace would mean for our children and for our grandchildren. I know it would herald a new beginning that could unleash unprecedented opportunities for Israelis, for Palestinians, and for the peoples -- all the peoples -- of our region, and well beyond our region. I think it would affect the world. 我不会让恐怖分子阻挡我们通往和平的道路，但这些事件再次表明，和平必须扎根于安全。我愿意走和平之路，因为我知道和平对我们的子女和孙辈意味着什么。我知道它将预示着一个新的开端，能为以色列人、巴勒斯坦人，以及我们区域的所有人民——以及我们区域之外的更广阔世界——释放前所未有的机遇。我认为它将影响整个世界。
I see what a period of calm has created in the Palestinian cities of Ramallah, of Janin, throughout the West Bank, a great economic boom. And real peace can turn this boom into a permanent era of progress and hope. 我看到了平静时期在拉马拉、杰宁等约旦河西岸的巴勒斯坦城市中所创造的巨大经济繁荣。真正的和平能将这种繁荣转化为进步与希望的永久时代。
If we work together, we can take advantage of the great benefits afforded by our unique place under the sun. We're the crossroads of three continents, at the crossroads of history, and the crossroads of the future. Our geography, our history, our culture, our climate, the talents of our people can be unleashed to create extraordinary opportunities in tourism, in trade, in industry, in energy, in water, in so many areas. 如果我们携手合作，便可利用我们这独特地理位置所赋予的巨大优势。我们位于三大洲的交汇处，处于历史的十字路口，也处于未来的十字路口。我们的地理、历史、文化、气候，以及我们人民的才智，都能在旅游、贸易、工业、能源、水利等众多领域释放出创造非凡机遇的潜能。
But peace must also be defended against its enemies. We want the skyline of the West Bank to be dominated by apartment towers -- not missiles. We want the roads of the West Bank to flow with commerce -- not terrorists. 但和平也必须防范其敌人。我们希望约旦河西岸的天际线由公寓大楼而非导弹所主导。我们希望约旦河西岸的道路上流淌的是商业而非恐怖分子。
And this is not a theoretic request for our people. We left Lebanon, and we got terror. We left Gaza, and we got terror once again. We want to ensure that territory we'll concede will not be turned into a third Iranian-sponsored terror enclave armed at the heart of Israel -- and may I add, also aimed at every one of us sitting on this stage. 这对我们的人民而言并非理论上的要求。我们离开了黎巴嫩，结果迎来了恐怖。我们离开了加沙，结果再次迎来了恐怖。我们希望确保我们将让出的领土不会变成第三个由伊朗支持的、武装到以色列心脏的恐怖飞地——我还要补充，针对的也是坐在这个舞台上的我们每一个人。
This is why a defensible peace requires security arrangements that can withstand the test of time and the many challenges that are sure to confront us. And there will be many challenges, both great and small. Let us not get bogged down by every difference between us. Let us direct our courage, our thinking, and our decisions at those historic decisions that lie ahead. 这就是为什么可防御的和平需要能经受时间考验和必将面对的诸多挑战的安全安排。挑战会有很多，有大有小。让我们不要被彼此间的每一个分歧所困扰。让我们把勇气、思考和决定指向那些摆在面前的历史性抉择。
Now, there are many skeptics. One thing there's no shortage of, Mr. President, are skeptics. This is something that you're so familiar with, that all of us in a position of leadership are familiar with. There are many skeptics. I suppose there are many reasons for skepticism. But I have no doubt that peace is possible. 如今，有许多怀疑者。总统先生，怀疑者从不短缺。这是您非常熟悉的事情，是我们所有身居领导职位的人都熟悉的。有许多怀疑者。我想怀疑的原因也有很多。但我毫不怀疑和平是可能的。
President Abbas, we cannot erase the past, but it is within our power to change the future. Thousands of years ago, on these very hills where Israelis and Palestinians live today, the Jewish prophet Isaiah and the other prophets of my people envisaged a future of lasting peace for all mankind. Let today be an auspicious step in our joint effort to realize that ancient vision for a better future. 阿巴斯总统，我们无法抹去过去，但我们有能力改变未来。数千年前，就在以色列人和巴勒斯坦人今天生活的这些山丘上，犹太先知以赛亚和我民族的其他先知预见到了全人类持久和平的未来。让今天成为我们共同努力实现那古老愿景、迈向更美好未来的吉祥一步。
PRESIDENT ABBAS: [As translated.] His Excellency President Barack Obama, His Excellency President Hosni Mubarak, His Majesty King Abdullah II, His Excellency Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Mrs. Hillary Clinton, Mr. Tony Blair, ladies and gentlemen. 阿巴斯总统：[据译文。] 巴拉克·奥巴马总统阁下，胡斯尼·穆巴拉克总统阁下，阿卜杜拉二世国王陛下，本雅明·内塔尼亚胡总理阁下，希拉里·克林顿女士，托尼·布莱尔先生，女士们、先生们。
I would like to start by thanking President Obama for his invitation to host us here today to relaunch the permanent status negotiations to reach a Palestinian-Israeli peace agreement covering all the permanent status issues within a year in accordance with international law and relevant resolutions. 首先，我要感谢奥巴马总统邀请我们今天在此相聚，重启最终地位谈判，以在一年内根据国际法和相关决议达成涵盖所有最终地位问题的巴以和平协议。
As we move towards the relaunch of these negotiations tomorrow, we recognize the difficulties, challenges and obstacles that lie ahead. Yet we assure you, in the name of the PLO, that we will draw on years of experience in negotiations and benefit from the lessons learned to make these negotiations successful. 随着明天重启这些谈判，我们认识到前方存在的困难、挑战和障碍。然而我们以巴解组织的名义向你们保证，我们将借鉴多年的谈判经验，从过往的教训中汲取智慧，使这些谈判取得成功。
We also reiterate our commitment to carry out all our obligations, and we call on the Israelis to carry out their obligations, including a freeze on settlements activities, which is not setting a precondition but a call to implement an agreed obligation and to end all the closure and blockade, preventing freedom of movement, including the [inaudible] siege. 我们重申致力于履行我方所有义务，并呼吁以色列人履行其义务，包括冻结定居点活动——这不是设置先决条件，而是呼吁执行已商定的义务，并结束所有阻止行动自由的封锁和围困，包括[听不清]围困。
We will spare no effort and will work diligently and tirelessly to ensure that these new negotiations achieve their goals and objectives in dealing with all of the issues: Jerusalem, refugees, settlements, border security, water, as well as the release of all our prisoners -- in order to achieve peace. 我们将不遗余力、勤勉不懈地工作，确保这些新谈判实现其目标和宗旨，处理所有问题：耶路撒冷、难民、定居点、边界安全、水资源，以及释放我们所有囚犯——以实现和平。
The people of our area are looking for peace that achieves freedom, independence, and justice to the Palestinian people in their country and in their homeland and in the diaspora -- our people who have endured decades of longstanding suffering. 我国区域的人民所寻求的和平，是能为在我国、在故土、在流散中的巴勒斯坦人民带来自由、独立和公正的和平——我们的人民已忍受了数十年的长期苦难。
We want a peace that will correct the historical injustice caused by the [inaudible] of 1948, and one that brings security to our people and the Israeli people. And we want peace that will give us both and the people of the region a new era where we enjoy just peace, stability, and prosperity. 我们希望和平能纠正1948年[听不清]所造成的历史不公，并为我们人民和以色列人民带来安全。我们希望和平能给予我们双方以及区域人民一个新时代，让我们享受公正的和平、稳定与繁荣。
Our determination stems to a great extent from your willpower, Mr. President, and your firm and sweeping drive with which you engulfed the entire world from the day you took office to set the parties on the path for peace -- and also this same spirit, exhibited by Secretary Hillary Clinton and Senator George Mitchell and his team. 我们的决心在很大程度上源于您的意志力，总统先生，以及您自就任以来便以之席卷整个世界、引导各方走上和平之路的那种坚定而广泛的推动力——也同样源于国务卿希拉里·克林顿和参议员乔治·米切尔及其团队所展现的同样精神。
The presence of His Excellency President Mubarak and His Majesty King Abdullah is another telling indication of their substantial and effective commitment overall, where Egypt and Jordan have been playing a supportive role for advancing the peace process. Their effective role is further demonstrated by the Arab Peace Initiative, which was fully endorsed by all of the Arab states, and the Islamic countries as well. 穆巴拉克总统阁下和阿卜杜拉国王陛下的出席，是他们对全面和平所作实质性而有效承诺的又一明证，埃及和约旦一直在为推进和平进程发挥支持作用。他们的有效作用还通过阿拉伯和平倡议得到进一步体现，该倡议得到了所有阿拉伯国家以及伊斯兰国家的全力支持。
This initiative served a genuine and sincere opportunity to achieve a just and comprehensive peace on all tracks in our region, including the Syrian-Israeli track and the Lebanese-Israeli track, and provided a sincere opportunity to make peace. 这一倡议为在我国区域所有轨道上——包括叙以轨道和黎以轨道——达成公正全面的和平提供了真诚的机会，也为缔结和平提供了真诚的机会。
The presence here today of the envoy of the Quartet, Mr. Tony Blair, is a most telling signal, especially since he has been personally involved in the Palestinian Authority for many years and in the efforts for state building in Palestine. 四方特使托尼·布莱尔先生今天在此出席，是最有意义的信号，尤其因为他多年来亲自参与巴勒斯坦民族权力机构的工作，并参与巴勒斯坦建国努力。
Excellencies, the time has come for us to make peace and it is time to end the occupation that started in 1967, and for the Palestinian people to get freedom, justice, and independence. It is time that a independent Palestinian state be established with sovereignty side by side with the state of Israel. It is time to put an end to the struggle in the Middle East. 各位阁下，实现和平的时刻已经到来，是时候结束1967年开始的占领，让巴勒斯坦人民获得自由、正义和独立了。是时候建立一个独立的主权巴勒斯坦国，与以色列国主权并存了。是时候结束中东的斗争了。
The Palestinian people who insist on the rights and freedom and independence are in most need for justice, security, and peace, because they are the victim, the ones that were harmed the most from this violence. And it is sending message to our neighbors, the Israelis, and to the world that they are also careful about supporting the opportunities for the success of these negotiations and the just and lasting peace as soon as possible. 坚持权利、自由和独立的巴勒斯坦人民最需要正义、安全与和平，因为他们是受害者，是这场暴力中受害最深的人。这也在向我们的邻国以色列人和世界传递信息：他们也同样关心是否支持这些谈判成功以及尽快实现公正持久和平的机遇。
With this spirit, we will work to make these negotiations succeed. And with this spirit, we are -- trust that we are capable to achieve our historical, difficult mission -- making peace in the land of peace. 本着这种精神，我们将努力使这些谈判取得成功。本着这种精神，我们相信——我们有能力完成我们历史性的艰巨使命——在和平之地实现和平。
Mr. Netanyahu, what happened yesterday and what is happening today is also condemned. We do not want at all that any blood be shed, one drop of blood, on the part of the -- from the Israelis or the Palestinians. 内塔尼亚胡先生，昨天发生的事情和今天正在发生的事情同样受到谴责。我们绝不希望流一滴血，无论是以色列人还是巴勒斯坦人的血。
We want people in the two countries to lead a normal life. We want them to live as neighbors and partners forever. Let us sign an agreement, a final agreement, for peace, and put an end to a very long period of struggle forever. And peace be upon you. 我们希望两国人民过上正常的生活。我们希望他们永远作为邻邦和伙伴生活。让我们签署一项协议——一项最终的和平协议，永远结束这段漫长的斗争。愿和平归于你们。
PRESIDENT OBAMA: I want to thank all the leaders for their thoughtful statements. I want to thank the delegations that are represented here because they are the ones who oftentimes are doing a lot of the work. 奥巴马总统：我要感谢所有领导人的深思熟虑的发言。我要感谢与会的各个代表团，因为通常是他们在做大量的工作。
This is just the beginning. We have a long road ahead, but I appreciate very much the leaders who are represented here for giving us such an excellent start. And I particularly want to commend Prime Minister Netanyahu and President Abbas for their presence here. 这只是开始。我们前方还有漫长的道路，但我非常感谢与会的领导人为我们提供了一个如此良好的开端。我特别要赞扬内塔尼亚胡总理和阿巴斯总统的光临。
This is not easy. Both of them have constituencies with legitimate claims, legitimate concerns, and a lot of history between them. For them to be here, to be willing to take this first step -- the most difficult step -- is a testament to their courage and their integrity and I think their vision for the future. And so I am hopeful -- cautiously hopeful, but hopeful -- that we can achieve the goal that all four of these leaders articulated. 这并不容易。他们两人都代表着拥有正当诉求、正当关切以及大量历史纠葛的选民。他们能来到这里，愿意迈出这第一步——最艰难的一步——证明了他们的勇气和正直，我认为也证明了他们对未来的远见。因此我充满希望——谨慎地充满希望，但确实充满希望——我们能够实现这四位领导人所阐述的目标。
Thank you very much, everybody. 非常感谢大家。
