Thank you very much, Governor Keating and Mrs. Keating, Reverend Graham, to the families of those who have been lost and wounded, to the people of Oklahoma City, who have endured so much, and the people of this wonderful state, to all of you who are here as our fellow Americans. 非常感谢，基廷州长和基廷夫人，格雷厄姆牧师，向所有遇难者和伤者的家属，向俄克拉荷马城的人民——你们承受了太多，以及这个美好州的人民，向你们所有作为我们美国同胞来到这里的人们。
I am honored to be here today to represent the American people. But I have to tell you that Hillary and I also come as parents, as husband and wife, as people who were your neighbors for some of the best years of our lives. 今天，我很荣幸代表美国人民来到这里。但我必须告诉你们，希拉里和我也是作为父母、作为夫妻、作为在我们生命中最美好的几年里曾是你们邻居的人来到这里。
Today our nation joins with you in grief. We mourn with you. We share your hope against hope that some may still survive. We thank all those who have worked so heroically to save lives and to solve this crime -- those here in Oklahoma and those who are all across this great land, and many who left their own lives to come here to work hand in hand with you. 今天，我们的国家与你们一同悲伤。我们与你们一同哀悼。我们和你们一样抱着一线希望，希望有些人可能仍然幸存。我们感谢所有为拯救生命和解决这一罪行做出英勇努力的人们——那些在俄克拉荷马州的人们，那些在这片伟大土地上各处的人们，以及许多放下自己生活来到这里与你们携手合作的人们。
We pledge to do all we can to help you heal the injured, to rebuild this city, and to bring to justice those who did this evil. 我们承诺尽我们所能帮助你们救治伤者、重建这座城市，并将犯下这一邪恶行径的人绳之以法。
This terrible sin took the lives of our American family, innocent children in that building, only because their parents were trying to be good parents as well as good workers; citizens in the building going about their daily business; and many there who served the rest of us -- who worked to help the elderly and the disabled, who worked to support our farmers and our veterans, who worked to enforce our laws and to protect us. 这一可怕的罪恶夺走了我们美国家庭的生命，大楼里无辜的孩子们，仅仅因为他们的父母努力成为好父母和好工人；大楼里从事日常事务的公民们；以及许多在那里为我们其他人服务的人们——那些致力于帮助老年人和残疾人的人们，那些致力于支持我们农民和退伍军人的人们，那些致力于执行我们法律和保护我们的人们。
Let us say clearly, they served us well, and we are grateful. 让我们明确地说，他们为我们服务得很好，我们心存感激。
But for so many of you they were also neighbors and friends. You saw them at church or the PTA meetings, at the civic clubs, at the ball park. You know them in ways that all the rest of America could not. And to all the members of the families here present who have suffered loss, though we share your grief, your pain is unimaginable, and we know that. We cannot undo it. That is God's work. 但对你们中的许多人来说，他们也是邻居和朋友。你们在教堂或家长教师协会会议上、在市民俱乐部、在棒球场见过他们。你们以美国其他所有人无法做到的方式了解他们。对于今天在场的所有失去亲人的家属们，尽管我们与你们一同悲伤，但你们的痛苦是无法想象的，我们知道这一点。我们无法挽回这一切。这是上帝的工作。
Our words seem small beside the loss you have endured. But I found a few I wanted to share today. I've received a lot of letters in these last terrible days. One stood out because it came from a young widow and a mother of three whose own husband was murdered with over 200 other Americans when Pan Am 103 was shot down. Here is what that woman said I should say to you today: 我们的话语与你们所承受的损失相比显得微不足道。但我找到了几句今天想与你们分享的话。在过去这些可怕的日子里，我收到了很多信件。有一封特别引人注目，因为它来自一位年轻的寡妇，三个孩子的母亲，她的丈夫在泛美航空103号航班被击落时与其他200多名美国人一同被谋杀。这位女士说我今天应该对你们说：
The anger you feel is valid, but you must not allow yourselves to be consumed by it. The hurt you feel must not be allowed to turn into hate, but instead into the search for justice. The loss you feel must not paralyze your own lives. Instead, you must try to pay tribute to your loved ones by continuing to do all the things they left undone, thus ensuring they did not die in vain. 你们感受到的愤怒是正当的，但你们绝不能让自己被愤怒吞噬。你们感受到的伤痛绝不能变成仇恨，而应该变成对正义的追求。你们感受到的失去绝不能麻痹你们自己的生活。相反，你们必须努力通过继续完成他们未完成的一切来向你们所爱的人致敬，从而确保他们没有白白牺牲。
Wise words from one who also knows. 来自一位同样经历过的人的睿智之言。
You have lost too much, but you have not lost everything. And you have certainly not lost America, for we will stand with you for as many tomorrows as it takes. 你们失去了太多，但你们并没有失去一切。你们当然没有失去美国，因为我们将与你们站在一起，无论需要多少个明天。
If ever we needed evidence of that, I could only recall the words of Governor and Mrs. Keating: 如果我们曾经需要证明这一点，我只能回忆起基廷州长和夫人的话：
If anybody thinks that Americans are mostly mean and selfish, they ought to come to Oklahoma. If anybody thinks Americans have lost the capacity for love and caring and courage, they ought to come to Oklahoma. 如果有人认为美国人大多是刻薄和自私的，他们应该来俄克拉荷马州看看。如果有人认为美国人已经失去了爱、关怀和勇气的能力，他们应该来俄克拉荷马州看看。
To all my fellow Americans beyond this hall, I say, one thing we owe those who have sacrificed is the duty to purge ourselves of the dark forces which gave rise to this evil. They are forces that threaten our common peace, our freedom, our way of life. 对大厅外所有我的美国同胞们，我要说，我们欠那些牺牲者的一件事，就是净化我们自身、清除导致这一邪恶的黑暗势力的责任。这些势力威胁着我们共同的和平、我们的自由、我们的生活方式。
Let us teach our children that the God of comfort is also the God of righteousness: "Those who trouble their own house will inherit the wind." Justice will prevail. 让我们教导我们的孩子，安慰之神也是正义之神："扰乱自家的人必自食其果。"正义必将获胜。
Let us let our own children know that we will stand against the forces of fear. When there is talk of hatred, let us stand up and talk against it. When there is talk of violence, let us stand up and talk against it. In the face of death, let us honor life. As St. Paul admonished us, Let us "not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good." 让我们告诉我们的孩子，我们将勇敢面对恐惧的力量。当有人谈论仇恨时，让我们站起来反对它。当有人谈论暴力时，让我们站起来反对它。面对死亡，让我们尊重生命。正如圣保罗告诫我们的，让我们"不要被邪恶所战胜，而要用善来战胜邪恶。"
Yesterday, Hillary and I had the privilege of speaking with some children of other federal employees -- children like those who were lost here. And one little girl said something we will never forget. She said, "We should all plant a tree in memory of the children." 昨天，希拉里和我有幸与一些其他联邦雇员的孩子们交谈——就像在这里遇难的孩子们一样。一个小女孩说了一些我们永远不会忘记的话。她说："我们都应该为孩子们种一棵树作为纪念。"
So this morning before we got on the plane to come here, at the White House, we planted that tree in honor of the children of Oklahoma. It was a dogwood with its wonderful spring flower and its deep, enduring roots. It embodies the lesson of the Psalms -- that the life of a good person is like a tree whose leaf does not wither. 所以今天早上在我们登上飞机来这里之前，在白宫，我们种下了那棵树，以纪念俄克拉荷马州的孩子们。那是一棵山茱萸树，开着美丽的春花，有着深深的、持久的根。它体现了诗篇中的教诲——义人的生命就像一棵叶子不会枯萎的树。
My fellow Americans, a tree takes a long time to grow, and wounds take a long time to heal. But we must begin. Those who are lost now belong to God. Some day we will be with them. But until that happens, their legacy must be our lives. 我的美国同胞们，一棵树需要很长时间才能成长，伤口需要很长时间才能愈合。但我们必须开始。那些逝去的人已安息在上帝怀中。总有一天我们会与他们重逢。但在那之前，他们的遗产必须成为我们的生命。
Thank you all, and God bless you. 谢谢大家，上帝保佑你们。
