Good evening, everybody. 大家晚上好。
For almost 30 years, Justice Antonin "Nino" Scalia was a larger-than-life pre[sence] on the bench: a brilliant legal mind with an energetic style, incisive wit, and colorful opinions. 近三十年来，安东宁·"尼诺"·斯卡利亚大法官一直是最高法院法官席上一位举足轻重的人物：他拥有卓越的法律智慧、充沛的辩论风格、犀利的才智和鲜明的观点。
He influenced a generation of judges, lawyers, and students -- and profoundly shaped the legal landscape. He will no doubt be remembered as one of the most consequential judges and thinkers to serve on the Supreme Court. Justice Scalia dedicated his life to the cornerstone of our democracy: the rule of law. Tonight, we honor his extraordinary service to our nation and remember one of the towering legal figures of our time. 他影响了一代又一代的法官、律师和学生，并深刻塑造了美国的法律格局。毫无疑问，他将被铭记为美国最高法院史上最具影响力的法官和思想家之一。斯卡利亚大法官将自己的一生奉献给了我们民主制度的基石——法治。今晚，我们向他为国家做出的卓越贡献致敬，并缅怀这位我们这个时代最杰出的法律人物之一。
Antonin Scalia was born in Trenton, New Jersey to an Italian immigrant family. After graduating from Georgetown University and Harvard Law School, he worked at a law firm and taught law before entering a life of public service. He rose from Assistant Attorney General for the Office of Legal Counsel to the Judge on the D.C. Circuit Court, to Associate Justice of the Supreme Court. 安东宁·斯卡利亚出生于新泽西州特伦顿市的一个意大利移民家庭。从乔治城大学和哈佛法学院毕业后，他曾在律师事务所工作并从事法学教育，随后投身公共服务。他从司法部法律顾问办公室助理总检察长起步，历任哥伦比亚特区巡回上诉法院法官，最终成为联邦最高法院大法官。
A devout Catholic, he was the proud father of nine children and grandfather to many [28] loving grandchildren. Justice Scalia was both an avid hunter and an opera lover -- a passion for music that he shared with his dear colleague and friend, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg. Michelle and I were proud to welcome him to the White House, including in 2012 for a State Dinner for Prime Minister David Cameron. And tonight, we join his fellow justices in mourning this remarkable man. 作为一名虔诚的天主教徒，他是九个孩子的骄傲父亲，也是众多（二十八位）深爱他的孙辈的祖父。斯卡利亚大法官既是一位狂热的猎人，也是一位歌剧爱好者——他与亲爱的同事和朋友露丝·巴德·金斯伯格大法官分享着对音乐的热爱。米歇尔和我曾有幸在白宫接待他，包括2012年为英国首相戴维·卡梅伦举办的国宴。今晚，我们与他的大法官同僚们一同哀悼这位杰出的人物。
Obviously today is a time to remember Justice Scalia's legacy. I plan to fulfill my constitutional responsibilities to nominate a successor in due time. And there will be plenty of time for me to do so, and for the Senate to fulfill its responsibility to give that person a fair hearing and a timely vote. 显然，今天是缅怀斯卡利亚大法官遗产的时刻。我计划履行我的宪法职责，在适当时候提名一位继任者。我有充足的时间来做这件事，参议院也有责任对被提名人进行公正的听证和及时的投票。
These are responsibilities that I take seriously, as should everyone. They're bigger than any one party. They are about our democracy. They're about the institution to which Justice Scalia dedicated his professional life, and making sure it continues to function as the beacon of justice that our Founders envisioned. 这些是我认真对待的责任，每个人都应该如此。它们比任何一个政党都更重要。它们关乎我们的民主。它们关乎斯卡利亚大法官奉献了其职业生涯的那个机构，关乎确保它继续作为我们开国元勋所设想的正义灯塔而运转。
But at this moment, we most of all want to think about his family; and Michelle and I join the nation in sending our deepest sympathies to Justice Scalia's wife, Maureen, and their loving family -- a beautiful symbol of a life well lived. We thank them for sharing Justice Scalia with our country. 但此时此刻，我们最想惦念的是他的家人；米歇尔和我同全国人民一道，向斯卡利亚大法官的妻子莫琳及其充满爱的家人致以最深切的慰问——他们是美好人生的动人象征。我们感谢他们将斯卡利亚大法官分享给了我们的国家。
God bless them all, and God bless the United States of America. 愿上帝保佑他们，愿上帝保佑美利坚合众国。
