Good afternoon, everybody. Today I want to start by addressing three issues, and then I'll take your questions. 大家下午好。今天我想首先谈三个问题，然后回答你们的提问。
First, I'd like to say a few words about the situation in Iran. The United States and the international community have been appalled and outraged by the threats, the beatings, and imprisonments of the last few days. I strongly condemn these unjust actions, and I join with the American people in mourning each and every innocent life that is lost. 首先，我想就伊朗局势说几句话。美国和国际社会对最近几天发生的威胁、殴打和监禁行为感到震惊和愤慨。我强烈谴责这些不公正的行为，并与美国人民一道哀悼每一个逝去的无辜生命。
I've made it clear that the United States respects the sovereignty of the Islamic Republic of Iran, and is not interfering with Iran's affairs. But we must also bear witness to the courage and the dignity of the Iranian people, and to a remarkable opening within Iranian society. And we deplore the violence against innocent civilians anywhere that it takes place. 我已经明确表示，美国尊重伊朗伊斯兰共和国的主权，不干涉伊朗的内部事务。但我们也必须见证伊朗人民的勇气和尊严，以及伊朗社会内部出现的非凡开放。我们谴责任何地方发生的针对无辜平民的暴力行为。
The Iranian people are trying to have a debate about their future. Some in Iran -- Some in the Iranian government, in particular, are trying to avoid that debate by accusing the United States and others in the West of instigating protests over the election. These accusations are patently false. They're an obvious attempt to distract people from what is truly taking place within Iran's borders. 伊朗人民正在尝试就他们的未来展开辩论。伊朗的一些人——特别是伊朗政府中的一些人——正试图通过指责美国和其他西方国家煽动选举抗议来回避这场辩论。这些指控完全是虚假的。这显然是在试图转移人们对伊朗境内正在发生的真实情况的注意力。
This tired strategy of using old tensions to scapegoat other countries won't work anymore in Iran. This is not about the United States or the West; this is about the people of Iran, and the future that they -- and only they -- will choose. The Iranian people can speak for themselves. That's precisely what's happened in the last few days. 这种利用旧有紧张局势将他国作为替罪羊的老套策略在伊朗已经行不通了。这与美国或西方无关；这是关于伊朗人民，以及他们——只有他们——将选择的未来。伊朗人民能够为自己说话。这正是最近几天所发生的事情。
In 2009, no iron fist is strong enough to shut off the world from bearing witness to peaceful protests of justice. Despite the Iranian government's efforts to expel journalists and isolate itself, powerful images and poignant words have made their way to us through cell phones and computers, and so we've watched what the Iranian people are doing. 在2009年，没有任何铁腕足够强大，能够阻止世界见证争取正义的和平抗议。尽管伊朗政府努力驱逐记者并孤立自己，但强大的画面和感人的文字已通过手机和电脑传到我们这里，因此我们看到了伊朗人民正在做什么。
This is what we've witnessed. 这就是我们所目睹的一切。
We've seen the timeless dignity of tens of thousands of Iranians marching in silence. We've seen people of all ages risk everything to insist that their votes are counted and that their voices are heard. Above all, we've seen courageous women stand up to the brutality and threats, and we've experienced the searing image of a woman bleeding to death on the streets. While this loss is raw and extraordinarily painful, we also know this: Those who stand up for justice are always on the right side of history. 我们看到了数以万计的伊朗人静默游行所展现的永恒尊严。我们看到了各个年龄段的人们冒着一切风险，坚持要求他们的选票被清点、声音被倾听。最重要的是，我们看到了勇敢的妇女挺身而出，面对残忍和威胁，我们也见证了一名妇女在街头流血致死的惨痛画面。虽然这一损失令人极度痛苦，但我们也知道：那些为正义挺身而出的人始终站在历史的正确一边。
As I said in Cairo, suppressing ideas never succeeds in making them go away. The Iranian people have a universal right to assembly and free speech. If the Iranian government seeks the respect of the international community, it must respect those rights and heed the will of its own people. It must govern through consent and not coercion. That's what Iran's own people are calling for, and the Iranian people will ultimately judge the actions of their own government. 正如我在开罗所说，压制思想永远无法使其消失。伊朗人民拥有集会和言论自由的普遍权利。如果伊朗政府寻求国际社会的尊重，它必须尊重这些权利并倾听本国人民的意愿。它必须通过共识而非强制来治理。这正是伊朗本国人民所呼吁的，伊朗人民最终将评判本国政府的行为。
