President Obama: Prime Minister Abe, on behalf of the American people, thank you for your gracious words. Thank you for your presence here today -- an historic gesture that speaks to the power of reconciliation and the alliance between the American and Japanese peoples; a reminder that even the deepest wounds of war can give way to friendship and lasting peace. 奥巴马总统：安倍首相，我谨代表美国人民，感谢您诚挚的话语。感谢您今天亲临此地——这一具有历史意义的姿态，彰显了和解的力量以及美日两国人民之间的同盟关系；它提醒我们，即便是战争最深的创伤，也能让位于友谊与持久和平。
Distinguished guests, members of our armed forces -- and most of all, survivors of Pearl Harbor and their loved ones -- aloha. 尊敬的各位来宾、武装部队的将士们——最重要的是，珍珠港事件的幸存者及其亲人们——阿罗哈。
Audience Members: Aloha. 观众：阿罗哈。
President Obama: To Americans -- especially to those of us who call Hawaii home -- this harbor is a sacred place. As we lay a wreath or toss flowers into waters that still weep, we think of the more than 2,400 American patriots -- fathers and husbands, wives and daughters -- manning Heaven’s rails for all eternity. We salute the defenders of Oahu who pull themselves a little straighter every December 7th, and we reflect on the heroism that shone here 75 years ago. 奥巴马总统：对美国人而言——尤其是对我们这些以夏威夷为家的人来说——这个港湾是一片圣地。当我们献上花圈或将鲜花撒入仍在哭泣的海水中时，我们想起了2400多名美国爱国者——父亲和丈夫、妻子和女儿——他们永远地驻守在天堂的栏杆旁。我们向瓦胡岛的守卫者们致敬，他们每年12月7日都会将腰板挺得更直，我们缅怀75年前在这里闪耀的英雄主义精神。
As dawn broke that December day, paradise never seemed so sweet. The water was warm and impossibly blue. Sailors ate in the mess hall, or readied themselves for church, dressed in crisp white shorts and t-shirts. In the harbor, ships at anchor floated in neat rows: the California, the Maryland and the Oklahoma, the Tennessee, the West Virginia and the Nevada. On the deck of the Arizona, the Navy band was tuning up. 那个12月的黎明破晓时分，天堂从未显得如此甜美。海水温暖，蓝得不可思议。水兵们在食堂用餐，或身着整洁的白色短裤和T恤，准备去做礼拜。港湾里，停泊的舰船整齐地排成一列列：加利福尼亚号、马里兰号、俄克拉荷马号、田纳西号、西弗吉尼亚号、内华达号。在亚利桑那号的甲板上，海军军乐队正在调弦试音。
That morning, the ranks on men’s shoulders defined them less than the courage in their hearts. Across the island, Americans defended themselves however they could -- firing training shells, working old bolt-action rifles. An African-American mess steward, who would typically be confined to cleaning duties, carried his commander to safety, and then fired an anti-aircraft gun until he ran out of ammo. 那天早晨，人们肩上的军衔远不及心中的勇气更能定义他们。整个岛上，美国人竭尽所能地自卫——发射训练弹、操作老式栓动步枪。一名非裔美国膳食勤务兵，平日里通常只做清洁工作，却将他的指挥官背到了安全地带，然后操作高射炮射击，直到弹药用尽。
We honor Americans like Jim Downing -- a gunner’s mate first class on the West Virginia. Before he raced to the harbor, his new bride pressed into his hand a verse of Scripture: “The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms.” As Jim fought to save his ship, he simultaneously gathered the names of the fallen so that he could give closure to their families. He said, “It was just something you do.” 我们缅怀吉姆·唐宁这样的美国人——他是西弗吉尼亚号上的一等炮手。在他冲向港口之前，他的新婚妻子将一节经文塞到他手中："永生的神是你的居所，他永久的膀臂在你以下。"当吉姆奋力拯救他的战舰时，他同时收集阵亡将士的名字，好让他们的家人得到慰藉。他说："这只是分内之事。"
We remember Americans like Harry Pang -- a fireman from Honolulu who, in the face of withering fire, worked to douse burning planes until he gave his last full measure of devotion -- one of the only civilian firefighters ever to receive the Purple Heart. 我们铭记哈里·彭这样的美国人——一位来自檀香山的消防员，面对猛烈的炮火，他奋力扑灭燃烧的战机，直到献出了自己最后的全部热忱——他是有史以来仅有的几位获得紫心勋章的平民消防员之一。
We salute Americans like Chief Petty Officer John Finn, who manned a .50-caliber machine gun for more than two hours and was wounded more than 20 times, earning him our nation’s highest military decoration, the Medal of Honor. 我们向约翰·芬恩军士长这样的美国人致敬——他操作一挺.50口径机枪长达两个多小时，负伤20余次，因而荣获我国最高军事勋章——荣誉勋章。
And it is here that we reflect on how war tests our most enduring values -- how, even as Japanese Americans were deprived of their own liberty during the war, one of the most decorated military units in the history of the United States was the 442nd Infantry Regiment and its 100th Infantry Battalion -- the Japanese-American Nisei. 正是在这里，我们反思战争如何考验我们最持久的价值观——即使日裔美国人在战争期间被剥夺了自由，美国历史上获得荣誉最多的部队之一，正是第442步兵团及其第100步兵营——日裔第二代（Nisei）部队。
In that 442nd served my friend and proud Hawaiian, Daniel Inouye -- a man who was a senator from Hawaii for most of my life and with whom I would find myself proud to serve in the Senate chamber; a man who was not only a recipient of the Medal of Honor and the Presidential Medal of Freedom, but was one of the most distinguished statesmen of his generation as well. 在第442团服役的，有我的朋友、骄傲的夏威夷人丹尼尔·井上——在我人生的大部分时间里，他都是夏威夷州的参议员，我也有幸与他在参议院共事；他不仅是荣誉勋章和总统自由勋章的获得者，更是他那一代最杰出的政治家之一。
Here at Pearl Harbor, America’s first battle of the Second World War roused a nation. Here, in so many ways, America came of age. A generation of Americans -- including my grandparents -- the Greatest Generation -- they did not seek war, but they refused to shrink from it. And they all did their part on fronts and in factories. And while, 75 years later, the proud ranks of Pearl Harbor survivors have thinned with time, the bravery we recall here is forever etched in our national heart. 在珍珠港，美国在第二次世界大战中的第一战唤醒了整个国家。在这里，从许多方面来说，美国走向了成熟。一代美国人——包括我的祖父母——这最伟大的一代，他们不求战，但绝不畏战。他们在前线和工厂里都尽了自己的一份力。75年后的今天，珍珠港幸存者的骄傲行列已随时间流逝而日渐稀疏，但我们在此铭记的英勇，将永远铭刻在我们民族的心中。
I would ask all our Pearl Harbor and World War II veterans who are able to, to please stand or raise your hands -- because a grateful nation thanks you. 我请所有能够起身的珍珠港和二战老兵们，请站起来或举起手——因为一个感恩的国家感谢你们。
The character of nations is tested in war, but it is defined in peace. After one of the most horrific chapters in human history -- one that took not tens of thousands, but tens of millions of lives -- with ferocious fighting across this ocean -- the United States and Japan chose friendship and peace. Over the decades, our alliance has made both of our nations more successful. It has helped underwrite an international order that has prevented another World War and that has lifted more than a billion people out of extreme poverty. 国家的品格在战争中经受考验，但在和平中得以定义。在人类历史上最恐怖的篇章之一之后——那场战争夺去的不是数万人，而是数千万人的生命——在这片大洋上经历了惨烈战斗之后，美国和日本选择了友谊与和平。几十年来，我们的同盟使两国都更加成功。它助力维护了国际秩序，防止了另一场世界大战，使十多亿人摆脱了极端贫困。
And today, the alliance between the United States and Japan -- bound not only by shared interests, but also rooted in common values -- stands as the cornerstone of peace and stability in the Asia Pacific and a force for progress around the globe. Our alliance has never been stronger. 而今天，美日同盟——不仅以共同利益为纽带，更植根于共同的价值观——是亚太地区和平与稳定的基石，也是全球进步的推动力量。我们的同盟前所未有地牢固。
In good times and in bad, we are there for each other. Recall five years ago, when a wall of water bore down on Japan and reactors in Fukushima melted, America’s men and women in uniform were there to help our Japanese friends. Across the globe, the United States and Japan work shoulder-to-shoulder to strengthen the security of the Asia Pacific and the world -- turning back piracy, combating disease, slowing the spread of nuclear weapons, keeping the peace in war-torn lands. 无论顺境逆境，我们都彼此扶持。回想五年前，当滔天巨浪扑向日本、福岛的反应堆熔毁时，美国的男女军人就在那里帮助我们的日本朋友。在全球范围内，美国和日本并肩合作，加强亚太地区和世界的安全——打击海盗、抗击疾病、减缓核武器扩散、在饱受战争蹂躏的土地上维护和平。
Earlier this year, near Pearl Harbor, Japan joined with two dozen nations in the world’s largest maritime military exercise. That included our forces from U.S. Pacific Command, led by Admiral Harry Harris, the son of an American Naval officer and a Japanese mother. Harry was born in Yokosuka, but you wouldn’t know it from his Tennessee twang. 今年早些时候，在珍珠港附近，日本与20多个国家一同参加了世界上最大规模的海上军事演习。其中包括我们的美国太平洋司令部部队，由哈里·哈里斯上将指挥——他的父亲是美国海军军官，母亲是日本人。哈里出生于横须贺，但从他的田纳西口音里你可听不出来。
Thank you, Harry, for your outstanding leadership. 哈里，感谢你卓越的领导。
In this sense, our presence here today -- the connections not just between our governments, but between our people, the presence of Prime Minister Abe here today -- remind us of what is possible between nations and between peoples. Wars can end. The most bitter of adversaries can become the strongest of allies. The fruits of peace always outweigh the plunder of war. This is the enduring truth of this hallowed harbor. 从这个意义上说，我们今天在此相聚——不仅是我们政府之间的联系，更是我们两国人民之间的联系，安倍首相今天的莅临——都在提醒我们国与国、民与民之间可以实现什么。战争可以结束。最势不两立的对手可以成为最坚定的盟友。和平的果实永远胜过战争的掠夺。这就是这片神圣港湾的永恒真理。
It is here that we remember that even when hatred burns hottest, even when the tug of tribalism is at its most primal, we must resist the urge to turn inward. We must resist the urge to demonize those who are different. The sacrifice made here, the anguish of war, reminds us to seek the divine spark that is common to all humanity. It insists that we strive to be what our Japanese friends call otagai no tame ni -- “with and for each other.” 正是在这里，我们铭记，即使在仇恨燃烧最炽烈的时候，即使在部落主义的拉扯最为原始的时候，我们也必须抵制向内退缩的冲动。我们必须抵制将异己妖魔化的冲动。在这里做出的牺牲、战争带来的痛苦，都在提醒我们去寻找全人类共有的神性火花。它要求我们努力践行日本朋友所说的"お互いのために"——"彼此扶持，为彼此而行"。
That’s the lesson of Captain William Callaghan of the Missouri. Even after an attack on his ship, he ordered that the Japanese pilot be laid to rest with military honors, wrapped in a Japanese flag sewn by American sailors. It’s the lesson, in turn, of the Japanese pilot who, years later, returned to this harbor, befriended an old Marine bugler and asked him to play taps and lay two roses at this memorial every month -- one for America’s fallen and one for Japan’s. 这就是密苏里号上威廉·卡拉汉舰长的教诲。即使在他的战舰遭到袭击后，他仍下令以军礼安葬那名日本飞行员，遗体裹在由美国水手缝制的日本国旗中。反过来，这也是那位日本飞行员的教诲——多年后，他回到这个港湾，与一位年迈的海军号手结为朋友，请他每月在这座纪念碑前吹奏熄灯号，并献上两朵玫瑰——一朵献给美国的阵亡将士，一朵献给日本的。
It’s a lesson our two peoples learn every day, in the most ordinary of ways -- whether it's Americans studying in Tokyo, young Japanese studying across America; scientists from our two nations together unraveling the mysteries of cancer, or combating climate change, exploring the stars. It’s a baseball player like Ichiro lighting up a stadium in Miami, buoyed by the shared pride of two peoples, both American and Japanese, united in peace and friendship. 这是我们两国人民在最平凡的日常中不断学习的一课——无论是在东京求学的美国人，还是在美国各地留学的日本青年；无论是两国科学家携手破解癌症之谜、应对气候变化、探索星辰。还是像铃木一朗这样的棒球选手，在迈阿密的球场上光芒四射，承载着两国人民共同的自豪——美国人和日本人，在和平与友谊中团结在一起。
As nations, and as people, we cannot choose the history that we inherit. But we can choose what lessons to draw from it, and use those lessons to chart our own futures. 作为国家，作为人民，我们无法选择继承的历史。但我们可以选择从中汲取什么样的教训，并以此来规划我们自己的未来。
Prime Minister Abe, I welcome you here in the spirit of friendship, as the people of Japan have always welcomed me. I hope that together, we send a message to the world that there is more to be won in peace than in war; that reconciliation carries more rewards than retribution. 安倍首相，我以友谊的精神欢迎您来到这里，正如日本人民一直欢迎我一样。我希望我们能共同向世界传递一个信息：和平比战争赢得的更多；和解比报复带来的回报更丰厚。
Here in this quiet harbor, we honor those we lost, and we give thanks for all that our two nations have won -- together, as friends. 在这宁静的港湾里，我们缅怀逝者，我们感恩两国共同赢得的一切——作为朋友，携手前行。
May God hold the fallen in His everlasting arms. 愿神将逝者拥入他永恒的怀抱。
May He watch over our veterans and all who stand guard on our behalf. 愿他庇佑我们的老兵以及所有为我们站岗的人。
May God bless us all. 愿上帝保佑我们所有人。
Thank you. 谢谢大家。
