There are very few moments in our lives where we have the privilege to witness history taking place. This is one of those moments. This is one of those times. The people of Egypt have spoken, their voices have been heard, and Egypt will never be the same. 在我们的一生中，能够有幸见证历史发生的时刻少之又少。此刻便是其中之一。现在便是这样的时刻。埃及人民已经发出了他们的声音，他们的声音已被听见，埃及将永远不再相同。
By stepping down, President Mubarak responded to the Egyptian people's hunger for change. But this is not the end of Egypt's transition. It's a beginning. I'm sure there will be difficult days ahead, and many questions remain unanswered. But I am confident that the people of Egypt can find the answers, and do so peacefully, constructively, and in the spirit of unity that has defined these last few weeks. For Egyptians have made it clear that nothing less than genuine democracy will carry the day. 穆巴拉克总统的下台回应了埃及人民对变革的渴望。但这并非埃及转型的终点，而是一个起点。我确信前方还会有艰难的日子，许多问题仍然悬而未决。但我相信埃及人民能够找到答案，并且以和平、建设性的方式，在过去几周所体现的团结精神中找到答案。因为埃及人民已经表明，只有真正的民主才能赢得最终胜利。
The military has served patriotically and responsibly as a caretaker to the state, and will now have to ensure a transition that is credible in the eyes of the Egyptian people. That means protecting the rights of Egypt's citizens, lifting the emergency law, revising the constitution and other laws to make this change irreversible, and laying out a clear path to elections that are fair and free. 军方以爱国和负责任的态度作为国家的守护者，现在必须确保一个在埃及人民眼中具有公信力的过渡。这意味着保护埃及公民的权利，解除紧急状态法，修订宪法和其他法律以使这一变革不可逆转，并为公平自由的选举铺平道路。
Above all, this transition must bring all of Egypt's voices to the table. For the spirit of peaceful protest and perseverance that the Egyptian people have shown can serve as a powerful wind at the back of this change. 最重要的是，这一过渡必须将埃及各方的声音都纳入其中。因为埃及人民所展现的和平抗议和坚持不懈的精神，可以成为推动这一变革的强大力量。
The United States will continue to be a friend and partner to Egypt. We stand ready to provide whatever assistance is necessary -- and asked for -- to pursue a credible transition to a democracy. I'm also confident that the same ingenuity and entrepreneurial spirit that the young people of Egypt have shown in recent days can be harnessed to create new opportunity -- jobs and businesses that allow the extraordinary potential of this generation to take flight. And I know that a democratic Egypt can advance its role of responsible leadership not only in the region but around the world. 美国将继续做埃及的朋友和伙伴。我们随时准备提供一切必要的援助——只要埃及提出请求——以推动向民主的可信过渡。我还相信，埃及年轻人在最近几天所展现的同样创造力和创业精神，可以被用来创造新的机遇——让这一代人的非凡潜力得以展翅高飞的就业和商业机会。我知道，一个民主的埃及不仅能在地区，也能在世界范围内提升其负责任领导者的角色。
Egypt has played a pivotal role in human history for over 6,000 years. But over the last few weeks, the wheel of history turned at a blinding pace as the Egyptian people demanded their universal rights. 埃及在人类六千多年的历史中一直扮演着关键角色。但在过去几周，随着埃及人民争取他们的普世权利，历史的车轮以令人目眩的速度转动。
We saw mothers and fathers carrying their children on their shoulders to show them what true freedom might look like. 我们看到父母将孩子扛在肩上，向他们展示真正的自由可能是什么样子。
We saw a young Egyptian say, "For the first time in my life, I really count. My voice is heard. Even though I'm only one person, this is the way real democracy works." 我们看到一位年轻的埃及人说："这是我人生中第一次，我真的重要了。我的声音被听见了。虽然我只是一个人，但这就是真正的民主运作的方式。"
We saw protesters chant "Selmiyya, selmiyya" -- "We are peaceful" -- again and again. 我们看到抗议者一遍又一遍地高喊"Selmiyya, selmiyya"——"我们是和平的"。
We saw a military that would not fire bullets at the people they were sworn to protect. 我们看到军队不会向他们宣誓保护的人民开枪。
And we saw doctors and nurses rushing into the streets to care for those who were wounded, volunteers checking protesters to ensure that they were unarmed. 我们看到医生和护士冲上街头照顾伤者，志愿者检查抗议者以确保他们没有携带武器。
We saw people of faith praying together and chanting -- "Muslims, Christians, We are one." And though we know that the strains between faiths still divide too many in this world and no single event will close that chasm immediately, these scenes remind us that we need not be defined by our differences. We can be defined by the common humanity that we share. 我们看到信仰不同宗教的人一起祈祷，高喊——"穆斯林、基督徒，我们是一体的。"尽管我们知道信仰之间的裂痕仍然在世界上分裂着太多人，没有任何单一事件能够立即弥合这一鸿沟，但这些场景提醒我们，我们不必被我们的差异所定义。我们可以被我们共同的人性所定义。
And above all, we saw a new generation emerge -- a generation that uses their own creativity and talent and technology to call for a government that represented their hopes and not their fears; a government that is responsive to their boundless aspirations. One Egyptian put it simply: Most people have discovered in the last few days that they are worth something, and this cannot be taken away from them anymore, ever. 最重要的是，我们看到了新一代的崛起——这一代人运用他们自己的创造力、才能和技术，呼吁建立一个代表他们希望而非恐惧的政府；一个回应他们无限抱负的政府。一位埃及人简单地说：在过去几天里，大多数人发现他们是有价值的，这一点再也不能从他们身上夺走，永远不会。
This is the power of human dignity, and it can never be denied. Egyptians have inspired us, and they've done so by putting the lie to the idea that justice is best gained through violence. For in Egypt, it was the moral force of nonviolence -- not terrorism, not mindless killing -- but nonviolence, moral force that bent the arc of history toward justice once more. 这就是人类尊严的力量，它永远不会被否认。埃及人民激励了我们，他们用行动证明了正义最好通过暴力获得这一观点是错误的。因为在埃及，是非暴力的道德力量——不是恐怖主义，不是无谓的杀戮——而是非暴力，道德力量再次将历史的弧线弯向正义。
And while the sights and sounds that we heard were entirely Egyptian, we can't help but hear the echoes of history -- echoes from Germans tearing down a wall, Indonesian students taking to the streets, Gandhi leading his people down the path of justice. 虽然我们所看到和听到的完全是埃及的，但我们不禁听到了历史的回声——来自推倒柏林墙的德国人、走上街头的印尼学生、带领人民走上正义之路的甘地的回声。
As Martin Luther King said in celebrating the birth of a new nation in Ghana while trying to perfect his own, "There is something in the soul that cries out for freedom." Those were the cries that came from Tahrir Square, and the entire world has taken note. 正如马丁·路德·金在庆祝加纳这个新国家诞生时所说，同时也在努力完善自己的国家时说："灵魂深处有某种东西在呼唤自由。"这些呼声来自塔赫里尔广场，全世界都已注意到。
Today belongs to the people of Egypt, and the American people are moved by these scenes in Cairo and across Egypt because of who we are as a people and the kind of world that we want our children to grow up in. 今天属于埃及人民，美国人民被开罗和埃及各地的场景所感动，因为我们作为人民的身份，以及我们希望我们的孩子成长在什么样的世界里。
The word Tahrir means liberation. It is a word that speaks to that something in our souls that cries out for freedom. And forevermore it will remind us of the Egyptian people -- of what they did, of the things that they stood for, and how they changed their country, and in doing so changed the world. "塔赫里尔"这个词意味着解放。它诉说着我们灵魂中渴望自由的那个声音。从今以后，它将永远提醒我们埃及人民——提醒我们他们所做的一切，他们所代表的一切，以及他们如何改变了自己的国家，并因此改变了世界。
Thank you. 谢谢。
