Good morning. This is a good day, because, once again, we're seeing what's possible with strong American diplomacy. 早上好。今天是个好日子，因为我们再一次见证了强大的美国外交所能带来的成果。
As I said in my State of the Union address, ensuring the security of the United States and the safety of our people demands a smart, patient and disciplined approach to the world. That includes our diplomacy with the Islamic Republic of Iran. For decades, our differences with Iran meant that our governments almost never spoke to each other. Ultimately, that did not advance America's interests. 正如我在国情咨文中所说，确保美国的安全和人民的安全需要一种明智、耐心和有纪律的对外方式。这包括我们与伊朗伊斯兰共和国的外交。几十年来，我们与伊朗的分歧意味着两国政府几乎从不对话。归根结底，这并没有推进美国的利益。
Over the years, Iran moved closer and closer to having the ability to build a nuclear weapon. But from Presidents Franklin Roosevelt to John F. Kennedy to Ronald Reagan, the United States has never been afraid to pursue diplomacy with our adversaries. And as President, I decided that a strong, confident America could advance our national security by engaging directly with the Iranian government. 多年来，伊朗越来越接近拥有制造核武器的能力。但从富兰克林·罗斯福总统到约翰·肯尼迪总统，再到罗纳德·里根总统，美国从不害怕与对手开展外交。作为总统，我认为一个强大、自信的美国可以通过与伊朗政府直接接触来增进我们的国家安全。
We've seen the results. Under the nuclear deal that we, our allies and partners reached with Iran last year, Iran will not get its hands on a nuclear bomb. The region, the United States, and the world will be more secure. As I've said many times, the nuclear deal was never intended to resolve all of our differences with Iran. But still, engaging directly with the Iranian government on a sustained basis, for the first time in decades, has created a unique opportunity -- a window -- to try to resolve important issues. And today, I can report progress on a number of fronts. 我们已经看到了成果。根据我们、我们的盟友和伙伴去年与伊朗达成的核协议，伊朗将无法获得核弹。该地区、美国和世界将更加安全。正如我多次说过的，核协议从来不是为了解决我们与伊朗的所有分歧。尽管如此，几十年来首次与伊朗政府进行持续的直接接触，创造了一个独特的机会——一扇窗口——来尝试解决重要问题。今天，我可以报告在多个方面取得的进展。
First, yesterday marked a milestone in preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. Iran has now fulfilled key commitments under the nuclear deal. And I want to take a moment to explain why this is so important. 首先，昨天是防止伊朗获得核武器的一个里程碑。伊朗现已履行了核协议项下的关键承诺。我想花一点时间解释为什么这如此重要。
Over more than a decade, Iran had moved ahead with its nuclear program, and, before the deal, it had installed nearly 20,000 centrifuges that can enrich uranium for a nuclear bomb. Today, Iran has removed two-thirds of those machines. Before the deal, Iran was steadily increasing its stockpile of enriched uranium -- enough for up to 10 nuclear bombs. Today, more than 98 percent of that stockpile has been shipped out of Iran -- meaning Iran now doesn't have enough material for even one bomb. 十多年来，伊朗一直在推进其核计划，在协议达成之前，它已经安装了近两万台可用于浓缩铀制造核弹的离心机。今天，伊朗已拆除了其中三分之二的机器。在协议达成之前，伊朗的浓缩铀库存一直在稳步增加——足以制造多达十枚核弹。今天，超过百分之九十八的库存已运出伊朗——这意味着伊朗现在连制造一枚炸弹的材料都不够。
Before, Iran was nearing completion of a new reactor capable of producing plutonium for a bomb. Today, the core of that reactor has been pulled out and filled with concrete so it cannot be used again. 此前，伊朗一座可生产钚用于制造炸弹的新反应堆即将完工。今天，该反应堆的堆芯已被拆除并用混凝土填充，因此无法再次使用。
Before the deal, the world had relatively little visibility into Iran's nuclear program. Today, international inspectors are on the ground, and Iran is being subjected to the most comprehensive, intrusive inspection regime ever negotiated to monitor a nuclear program. Inspectors will monitor Iran's key nuclear facilities 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. For decades to come, inspectors will have access to Iran's entire nuclear supply chain. In other words, if Iran tries to cheat -- if they try to build a bomb covertly -- we will catch them. 在协议达成之前，世界对伊朗核计划的了解相对有限。今天，国际核查人员已在现场，伊朗正在接受有史以来通过谈判达成的最全面、最深入的核计划监督检查制度。核查人员将一年三百六十五天、每天二十四小时监测伊朗的关键核设施。在未来几十年里，核查人员将有权进入伊朗的整个核供应链。换句话说，如果伊朗试图作弊——如果他们试图秘密制造炸弹——我们会发现的。
So the bottom line is this. Whereas Iran was steadily expanding its nuclear program, we have now cut off every single path that Iran could have used to build a bomb. Whereas it would have taken Iran two to three months to break out with enough material to rush to a bomb, we've now extended that breakout time to a year -- and with the world's unprecedented inspections and access to Iran's program, we'll know if Iran ever tries to break out. 所以底线是这样的。伊朗过去一直在稳步扩大其核计划，而我们现在已经切断了伊朗本可以用来制造炸弹的每一条途径。伊朗过去只需两到三个月就能突破并获得足够材料来赶制炸弹，而我们现在已将突破时间延长到一年——加上世界对伊朗计划前所未有的检查和准入，一旦伊朗试图突破，我们就会知道。
Now that Iran's actions have been verified, it can begin to receive relief from certain nuclear sanctions and gain access to its own money that had been frozen. And perhaps most important of all, we've achieved this historic progress through diplomacy, without resorting to another war in the Middle East. 既然伊朗的行动已经得到核实，它就可以开始获得某些核制裁的解除，并使用其被冻结的资金。也许最重要的是，我们通过外交手段取得了这一历史性进展，而没有诉诸中东的另一场战争。
I want to also point out that by working with Iran on this nuclear deal, we were better able to address other issues. When our sailors in the Persian Gulf accidentally strayed into Iranian waters that could have sparked a major international incident. Some folks here in Washington rushed to declare that it was the start of another hostage crisis. Instead, we worked directly with the Iranian government and secured the release of our sailors in less than 24 hours. 我还要指出，通过与伊朗就这项核协议开展合作，我们能够更好地解决其他问题。当我们的水手在波斯湾意外误入伊朗水域时，这本可能引发一场重大国际事件。华盛顿的一些人急于宣称这是另一场人质危机的开始。然而，我们与伊朗政府直接合作，在不到二十四小时内就确保了我们水手的获释。
This brings me to a second major development -- several Americans unjustly detained by Iran are finally coming home. In some cases, these Americans faced years of continued detention. And I've met with some of their families. I've seen their anguish, how they ache for their sons and husbands. I gave these families my word -- I made a vow -- that we would do everything in our power to win the release of their loved ones. 这就引出了第二项重大进展——几名被伊朗不公正拘留的美国人终于要回家了。其中一些美国人面临了多年的持续关押。我见过他们的一些家人。我见过他们的痛苦，他们多么思念自己的儿子和丈夫。我向这些家庭承诺——我立下誓言——我们将竭尽全力争取他们亲人的获释。
And we have been tireless. On the sidelines of the nuclear negotiations, our diplomats at the highest level, including Secretary Kerry, used every meeting to push Iran to release our Americans. I did so myself, in my conversation with President Rouhani. After the nuclear deal was completed, the discussions between our governments accelerated. Yesterday, these families finally got the news that they have been waiting for. 我们一直不知疲倦地努力。在核谈判的间隙，我们最高级别的外交官，包括克里国务卿，利用每一次会议推动伊朗释放我们的美国公民。我本人在与鲁哈尼总统的交谈中也这样做了。核协议完成后，两国政府之间的讨论加速了。昨天，这些家庭终于等到了他们一直期待的消息。
Jason Rezaian is coming home. A courageous journalist for The Washington Post, who wrote about the daily lives and hopes of the Iranian people, he's been held for a year and a half. He embodies the brave spirit that gives life to the freedom of the press. Jason has already been reunited with his wife and mom. 贾森·雷扎伊安要回家了。作为《华盛顿邮报》一名勇敢的记者，他报道伊朗人民的日常生活和希望，他已被关押了一年半。他体现了赋予新闻自由以生命的勇敢精神。贾森已经与他的妻子和母亲团聚。
Pastor Saeed Abedini is coming home. Held for three and half years, his unyielding faith has inspired people around the world in the global fight to uphold freedom of religion. Now, Pastor Abedini will return to his church and community in Idaho. 赛义德·阿贝迪尼牧师要回家了。在被关押三年半的时间里，他坚贞不屈的信仰激励了世界各地维护宗教自由的人们。现在，阿贝迪尼牧师将回到他在爱达荷州的教会和社区。
Amir Hekmati is coming home. A former sergeant in the Marine Corps, he's been held for four and a half years. Today, his parents and sisters are giving thanks in Michigan. 阿米尔·赫克马蒂要回家了。作为前海军陆战队中士，他已被关押了四年半。今天，他的父母和姐妹正在密歇根州感恩致谢。
Two other Americans unjustly detained by Iran have also been released -- Nosratollah Khosravi-Roodsari and Matthew Trevithick, an Iranian -- who was in Iran as a student. Their cases were largely unknown to the world. But when Americans are freed and reunited with their families, that's something that we can all celebrate. 另外两名被伊朗不公正拘留的美国人也已获释——努斯拉图拉·霍斯拉维-鲁德萨里和马修·特雷维西克，后者以学生身份在伊朗。他们的案件在很大程度上不为世人所知。但当美国人获释并与家人团聚时，这是我们所有人都可以庆祝的事情。
So I want to thank my national security team -- especially Secretary Kerry; Susan Rice, my National Security Advisor; Brett McGurk; Avril Haines; Ben Rhodes -- our whole team worked tirelessly to bring our Americans home, to get this work done. And I want to thank the Swiss government, which represents our interests in Iran, for their critical assistance. 因此，我要感谢我的国家安全团队——特别是克里国务卿；我的国家安全事务助理苏珊·赖斯；布雷特·麦格克；埃夫丽尔·海恩斯；本·罗兹——我们整个团队不知疲倦地工作，把我们的美国人带回家，完成了这项工作。我还要感谢在伊朗代表我们利益的瑞士政府所提供的关键协助。
And meanwhile, Iran has agreed to deepen our coordination as we work to locate Robert Levinson -- missing from Iran for more than eight years. Even as we rejoice in the safe return of others, we will never forget about Bob. Each and every day, but especially today, our hearts are with the Levinson family, and we will not rest until their family is whole again. 与此同时，伊朗已同意深化我们在寻找罗伯特·莱文森方面的协调——他在伊朗失踪已超过八年。就在我们为其他人的安全归来感到欢欣鼓舞之际，我们永远不会忘记鲍勃。每一天，但尤其是今天，我们的心与莱文森一家同在，在他们的家庭重新团聚之前，我们不会停歇。
In a reciprocal humanitarian gesture, six Iranian–Americans and one Iranian serving sentences or awaiting trial in the United States are being granted clemency. These individuals were not charged with terrorism or any violent offenses. They're civilians, and their release is a one-time gesture to Iran given the unique opportunity offered by this moment and the larger circumstances at play. And it reflects our willingness to engage with Iran to advance our mutual interests, even as we ensure the national security of the United States. 作为对等的人道主义姿态，六名伊朗裔美国人和一名正在美国服刑或等待审判的伊朗人将被赦免。这些人没有被指控犯有恐怖主义或任何暴力罪行。他们是平民，他们的获释是对伊朗的一次性姿态，因为此时此刻提供了独特的机会，而且有更大的背景因素。这反映了我们愿意与伊朗接触以增进我们的共同利益，同时确保美国的国家安全。
So, nuclear deal implemented. American families reunited. The third piece of this work that we got done this weekend involved the United States and Iran resolving a financial dispute that dated back more than three decades. Since 1981, after our nations severed diplomatic relations, we've worked through a international tribunal to resolve various claims between our countries. 因此，核协议已执行。美国家庭已团聚。我们本周末完成的第三项工作是美国和伊朗解决了一场可追溯到三十多年前的财务争端。自一九八一年我们两国断交以来，我们通过一个国际仲裁庭来解决两国之间的各种索赔。
The United States and Iran are now settling a longstanding Iranian government claim against the United States government. Iran will be returned its own funds, including appropriate interest, but much less than the amount Iran sought. 美国和伊朗现在正在解决伊朗政府对美国政府的一项长期索赔。伊朗将收回其自己的资金，包括适当的利息，但远低于伊朗所要求的数额。
For the United States, this settlement could save us billions of dollars that could have been pursued by Iran. So there was no benefit to the United States in dragging this out. With the nuclear deal done, prisoners released, the time was right to resolve this dispute as well. 对美国来说，这项和解可以为我们节省伊朗本可能追讨的数十亿美元。因此，拖延下去对美国没有任何好处。随着核协议的达成和囚犯的获释，解决这一争端的时机也已经成熟。
Of course, even as we implement the nuclear deal and welcome our Americans home, we recognize that there remain profound differences between the United States and Iran. We remain steadfast in opposing Iran's destabilizing behavior elsewhere, including its threats against Israel and our Gulf partners, and its support for violent proxies in places like Syria and Yemen. We still have sanctions on Iran for its violations of human rights, for its support of terrorism, and for its ballistic missile program. 当然，就在我们执行核协议并欢迎我们的美国人回家之际，我们认识到美国和伊朗之间仍然存在深刻分歧。我们将继续坚定地反对伊朗在其他地区的破坏稳定行为，包括其对以色列和我们的海湾伙伴的威胁，以及其对叙利亚和也门等地暴力代理人的支持。我们仍然因伊朗侵犯人权、支持恐怖主义以及其弹道导弹计划而对其实施制裁。
And we will continue to enforce these sanctions, vigorously. Iran's recent missile test, for example, was a violation of its international obligations. And as a result, the United States is imposing sanctions on individuals and companies working to advance Iran's ballistic missile program. And we are going to remain vigilant about it. We're not going to waver in the defense of our security or that of our allies and partners. 我们将继续大力执行这些制裁。例如，伊朗最近的导弹试验违反了其国际义务。因此，美国正在对致力于推进伊朗弹道导弹计划的个人和公司实施制裁。我们将对此保持警惕。在捍卫我们的安全以及我们盟友和伙伴的安全方面，我们不会动摇。
But I do want to once again speak directly to the Iranian people. Yours is a great civilization, with a vibrant culture that has so much to contribute to the world -- in commerce, and in science and the arts. For decades, your government's threats and actions to destabilize your region have isolated Iran from much of the world. 但我确实想再次直接对伊朗人民讲话。你们拥有伟大的文明和充满活力的文化，可以为世界做出如此多的贡献——在商业、科学和艺术领域。几十年来，你们政府的威胁和破坏地区稳定的行动使伊朗与世界大部分地区隔绝。
And now our governments are talking with one another. Following the nuclear deal, you -- especially young Iranians -- have the opportunity to begin building new ties with the world. We have a rare chance to pursue a new path -- a different, better future that delivers progress for both our peoples and the wider world. That's the opportunity before the Iranian people. We need to take advantage of that. 而现在我们两国政府正在相互对话。核协议之后，你们——尤其是年轻的伊朗人——有机会开始与世界建立新的联系。我们有一个难得的机会来探索一条新的道路——一个不同的、更美好的未来，为我们两国人民和更广泛的世界带来进步。这就是摆在伊朗人民面前的机遇。我们需要抓住这个机会。
And to my fellow Americans, today, we're united in welcoming home sons and husbands and brothers who, in lonely prison cells, have endured an absolute nightmare. But they never gave in and they never gave up. At long last, they can stand tall and breathe deep the fresh air of freedom. 至于我的美国同胞们，今天，我们团结一致，欢迎我们的儿子、丈夫和兄弟回家。他们在孤独的牢房中忍受了十足的噩梦。但他们从未屈服，从未放弃。终于，他们可以昂首挺胸，深深呼吸自由的新鲜空气。
As a nation, we face real challenges, around the world and here at home. Many of them will not be resolved quickly or easily. But today's progress -- Americans coming home, an Iran that has rolled back its nuclear program and accepted unprecedented monitoring of that program -- these things are a reminder of what we can achieve when we lead with strength and with wisdom; with courage and resolve and patience. 作为一个国家，我们在世界各地和国内都面临着真正的挑战。其中许多问题不会迅速或轻易得到解决。但今天的进展——美国人回家、伊朗缩减其核计划并接受对该计划前所未有的监督——这些都在提醒我们，当我们以力量和智慧、以勇气、决心和耐心引领时，我们能够取得什么成就。
America can do -- and has done -- big things when we work together. We can leave this world and make it safer and more secure for our children and our grandchildren for generations to come. 当我们团结一致时，美国能够成就——并且已经成就了——伟大的事业。我们可以让这个世界变得更安全，为我们的子孙后代世世代代创造更有保障的未来。
I want to thank once again Secretary Kerry; our entire national security team, led by Susan Rice. I'm grateful for all the assistance that we received from our allies and partners. And I am hopeful that this signals the opportunity at least for Iran to work more cooperatively with nations around the world to advance their interests and the interests of people who are looking for peace and security for their families. 我要再次感谢克里国务卿；感谢由苏珊·赖斯领导的我们整个国家安全团队。我感谢我们从盟友和伙伴那里得到的所有帮助。我希望这至少标志着伊朗有机会与世界各国更具合作性地努力，增进他们的利益，以及那些为家人寻求和平与安全的人们的利益。
Thank you so much. 非常感谢。
God bless you, and God bless the United States of America. 上帝保佑你们，上帝保佑美利坚合众国。
