Thank you very much. Please be seated. To General Haley for the outstanding work he is doing. Thank you so much. 非常感谢。请坐。感谢海利将军所做的出色工作。非常感谢大家。
Good morning Marines. Good morning Camp Lejeune. Good morning Jacksonville. Thank you for that outstanding welcome. I want to thank Lieutenant General Hejlik for hosting me here today. 海军陆战队员们早上好。坎普勒任基地的各位早上好。杰克逊维尔的各位早上好。感谢你们的热情欢迎。我要感谢赫吉利克中将今天在此接待我。
I also want to acknowledge all of our soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. That includes the Camp Lejeune Marines now serving with – or soon joining – the Second Marine Expeditionary Force in Iraq; those with Special Purpose Marine Air Ground Task Force in Afghanistan; and those among the 8,000 Marines who are preparing to deploy to Afghanistan. We have you in our prayers. We pay tribute to your service. We thank you and your families for all that you do for America. 我也要向所有在伊拉克和阿富汗服役的陆军士兵、水兵、空军官兵和海军陆战队员致敬。这包括目前正在伊拉克与第二海军陆战队远征军并肩作战——或即将加入该部队——的坎普勒任海军陆战队员；在阿富汗执行特种用途海军陆战队空地特遣部队任务的人员；以及正在准备部署到阿富汗的八千名海军陆战队员。我们为你们祈祷。我们向你们的服役致敬。我们感谢你们和你们的家人为美国所做的一切。
And I want all of you to know that there is no higher honor or greater responsibility than serving as your Commander-in-Chief. 我也要让你们所有人知道，担任你们的总司令是最高的荣誉，也是最重大的责任。
I also want to take this opportunity to acknowledge Ryan Crocker, who recently completed his service as our Ambassador to Iraq. Throughout his career, Ryan always took on the toughest assignments. He is an example of the very best that this nation has to offer, and we owe him a great debt of gratitude. He carried on his work with an extraordinary degree of cooperation with two of our finest Generals – General David Petraeus, and General Ray Odierno – who will be critical in carrying forward the strategy that I will outline today. 我也想借此机会感谢瑞安·克罗克，他刚刚卸任我国驻伊拉克大使一职。在他的职业生涯中，瑞安总是承担最艰巨的任务。他是这个国家所能提供的最优秀人才的典范，我们对他深怀感激。他与我们两位最杰出的将军——戴维·彼得雷乌斯将军和雷·奥迪尔诺将军——进行了非同寻常的合作，这两位将军对于推进我今天将要阐述的战略至关重要。
Next month will mark the sixth anniversary of the war in Iraq. By any measure, this has already been a long war. For the men and women of America's armed forces – and for your families – this war has been one of the most extraordinary chapters of service in the history of our nation. You have endured tour after tour after tour of duty. You have known the dangers of combat and the lonely distance of loved ones. You have fought against tyranny and disorder. You have bled for your best friends and for unknown Iraqis. 下个月将是伊拉克战争六周年。无论用什么标准衡量，这都已经是一场漫长的战争。对于美国武装力量的男女军人——以及你们的家人——而言，这场战争是我国历史上最非凡的服役篇章之一。你们一次又一次、又一次地承受出征之苦。你们深知战斗的危险和与亲人天各一方的孤独。你们与暴政和混乱作斗争。你们为最好的朋友、也为素不相识的伊拉克人流过血。
And you have borne an enormous burden for your fellow citizens, while extending a precious opportunity to the people of Iraq. Under tough circumstances, the men and women of the United States military have served with honor, and succeeded beyond any expectation. 你们为同胞承担了巨大的重担，同时也把一份宝贵的机会延伸给了伊拉克人民。在艰难的环境下，美国军队的男女官兵以荣誉服役，并取得了超越任何预期的成功。
Today, I have come to speak to you about how the war in Iraq will end. 今天，我来这里是要向你们讲述伊拉克战争将如何结束。
To understand where we need to go in Iraq, it is important for the American people to understand where we now stand. Thanks in great measure to your service, the situation in Iraq has improved. Violence has been reduced substantially from the horrific sectarian killing of 2006 and 2007. Al Qaeda in Iraq has been dealt a serious blow by our troops and Iraq's Security Forces, and through our partnership with Sunni Arabs. The capacity of Iraq's Security Forces has improved, and Iraq's leaders have taken steps toward political accommodation. 要理解我们在伊拉克需要走向何方，美国人民必须了解我们目前的处境。在很大程度上得益于你们的服役，伊拉克的局势已经改善。暴力事件已从2006年和2007年可怕的教派屠杀大幅减少。伊拉克基地组织被我军和伊拉克安全部队以及我们与逊尼派阿拉伯人的合作重创。伊拉克安全部队的能力有所提升，伊拉克领导人也采取了迈向政治和解的步骤。
The relative peace and strong participation in January's provincial elections sent a powerful message to the world about how far Iraqis have come in pursuing their aspirations through a peaceful political process. 一月省级选举中相对和平的氛围和高度的参与度，向世界传递了一个强有力的信息：伊拉克人在通过和平政治进程追求自身愿望方面已经走了多远。
But let there be no doubt: Iraq is not yet secure, and there will be difficult days ahead. Violence will continue to be a part of life in Iraq. Too many fundamental political questions about Iraq's future remain unresolved. Too many Iraqis are still displaced or destitute. Declining oil revenues will put an added strain on a government that has had difficulty delivering basic services. Not all of Iraq's neighbors are contributing to its security. Some are working at times to undermine it. 但不要心存疑虑：伊拉克尚未安全，未来仍会有艰难的日子。暴力仍将是伊拉克生活的一部分。关于伊拉克未来的太多根本性政治问题仍未解决。太多伊拉克人仍然流离失所或一贫如洗。石油收入下降将给一个本就难以提供基本服务的政府带来额外压力。并非伊拉克的所有邻国都在为它的安全做贡献，有些甚至在某些时候蓄意破坏。
And even as Iraq's government is on a surer footing, it is not yet a full partner – politically and economically – in the region, or with the international community 即便伊拉克政府的基础更加稳固，它在政治和经济上都尚未成为该地区或国际社会的完全伙伴。
In short, today there is a renewed cause for hope in Iraq, but that hope rests upon an emerging foundation. 简言之，今天伊拉克有了新的希望之因，但这希望建立在刚刚显现的基础之上。
On my first full day in office, I directed my national security team to undertake a comprehensive review of our strategy in Iraq to determine the best way to strengthen that foundation, while strengthening American national security. I have listened to my Secretary of Defense, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and commanders on the ground. We have acted with careful consideration of events on the ground; with respect for the security agreements between the United States and Iraq; and with a critical recognition that the long-term solution in Iraq must be political – not military. 在我上任的第一个完整工作日，我就指示国家安全团队对我们在伊拉克的战略进行全面评估，以确定加强这一基础、同时加强美国国家安全的最佳方式。我听取了国防部长、参谋长联席会议以及前线指挥官的意见。我们慎重地考虑了当地局势；尊重美国与伊拉克之间的安全协议；并深刻认识到，伊拉克的长期解决方案必须是政治性的，而非军事性的。
Because the most important decisions that have to be made about Iraq's future must now be made by Iraqis. 因为关于伊拉克未来必须做出的最重要决策，现在必须由伊拉克人来做出。
We have also taken into account the simple reality that America can no longer afford to see Iraq in isolation from other priorities: we face the challenge of refocusing on Afghanistan and Pakistan; of relieving the burden on our military; and of rebuilding our struggling economy – and these are challenges that we will meet. 我们也考虑到了一个简单的现实：美国再也不能把伊拉克与其他优先事项割裂开来看待。我们面临重新聚焦阿富汗和巴基斯坦、减轻军队负担、以及重建我们陷入困境的经济等挑战——这些都是我们将要迎战的挑战。
Today, I can announce that our review is complete, and that the United States will pursue a new strategy to end the war in Iraq through a transition to full Iraqi responsibility. 今天，我可以宣布，我们的评估已经完成，美国将推行一项新战略，通过向伊拉克方面完全移交责任来结束伊拉克战争。
This strategy is grounded in a clear and achievable goal shared by the Iraqi people and the American people: an Iraq that is sovereign, stable, and self-reliant. To achieve that goal, we will work to promote an Iraqi government that is just, representative, and accountable, and that provides neither support nor safe-haven to terrorists. We will help Iraq build new ties of trade and commerce with the world. And we will forge a partnership with the people and government of Iraq that contributes to the peace and security of the region. 这一战略基于一个伊拉克人民和美国人民共同享有的明确且可实现的目标：一个主权独立、稳定且自主的伊拉克。为实现这一目标，我们将致力于推动建立一个公正、具有代表性且负责任的伊拉克政府，并且该政府既不支持恐怖分子，也不为其提供庇护。我们将帮助伊拉克与世界建立新的贸易和商业联系。我们还将与伊拉克人民和政府建立伙伴关系，为该地区的和平与安全做出贡献。
What we will not do is let the pursuit of the perfect stand in the way of achievable goals. We cannot rid Iraq of all who oppose America or sympathize with our adversaries. We cannot police Iraq's streets until they are completely safe, nor stay until Iraq's union is perfected. We cannot sustain indefinitely a commitment that has put a strain on our military, and will cost the American people nearly a trillion dollars. America's men and women in uniform have fought block by block, province by province, year after year, to give the Iraqis this chance to choose a better future. 我们不会做的是让对完美的追求妨碍可实现的目标。我们无法清除伊拉克境内所有反对美国或同情我们对手的人。我们无法在伊拉克街头巡逻到完全安全为止，也无法待到伊拉克的联合体尽善尽美。我们无法无限期地维持一项已经给我们的军队带来压力、并将花费美国人民近一万亿美元的承诺。美国的男女军人逐街、逐省、年复一年地战斗，才给了伊拉克人选择更好未来的机会。
Now, we must ask the Iraqi people to seize it. 现在，我们必须要求伊拉克人民把握住这个机会。
The first part of this strategy is therefore the responsible removal of our combat brigades from Iraq. 因此，这项战略的第一部分就是负责任地从伊拉克撤出我们的作战旅。
As a candidate for President, I made clear my support for a timeline of 16 months to carry out this drawdown, while pledging to consult closely with our military commanders upon taking office to ensure that we preserve the gains we've made and protect our troops. Those consultations are now complete, and I have chosen a timeline that will remove our combat brigades over the next 18 months. 在竞选总统期间，我明确表示支持以16个月的时间表完成此次撤军，同时承诺就职后会与军事指挥官密切磋商，以确保我们保住已取得的成果并保护我们的部队。这些磋商现已完成，我选择了一个将在未来18个月内撤出我们作战旅的时间表。
Let me say this as plainly as I can: by August 31, 2010, our combat mission in Iraq will end. 让我尽可能直白地说：到2010年8月31日，我们在伊拉克的作战任务将结束。
As we carry out this drawdown, my highest priority will be the safety and security of our troops and civilians in Iraq. We will proceed carefully, and I will consult closely with my military commanders on the ground and with the Iraqi government. There will surely be difficult periods and tactical adjustments. But our enemies should be left with no doubt: this plan gives our military the forces and the flexibility they need to support our Iraqi partners, and to succeed. 在我们实施此次撤军时，我的最高优先事项将是我们在伊拉克的军队和文职人员的安全与保障。我们将谨慎推进，我会与当地军事指挥官和伊拉克政府密切磋商。肯定会有艰难时期和战术调整。但我们的敌人不应有任何怀疑：这一计划为我们的军队提供了支持伊拉克伙伴并取得成功所需的力量和灵活性。
After we remove our combat brigades, our mission will change from combat to supporting the Iraqi government and its Security Forces as they take the absolute lead in securing their country. As I have long said, we will retain a transitional force to carry out three distinct functions: training, equipping, and advising Iraqi Security Forces as long as they remain non-sectarian; conducting targeted counter-terrorism missions; and protecting our ongoing civilian and military efforts within Iraq. Initially, this force will likely be made up of 35-50,000 U.S. troops. 在我们撤出作战旅之后，我们的任务将从作战转向支持伊拉克政府及其安全部队，由他们完全主导本国的安全事务。正如我长期以来所说，我们将保留一支过渡部队，履行三项截然不同的职能：只要伊拉克安全部队不偏袒任何教派，就对其进行训练、装备和指导；开展有针对性的反恐任务；以及保护我们在伊拉克境内正在进行的文职和军事工作。最初，这支部队很可能由3.5万至5万名美军组成。
Through this period of transition, we will carry out further redeployments. And under the Status of Forces Agreement with the Iraqi government, I intend to remove all U.S. troops from Iraq by the end of 2011. We will complete this transition to Iraqi responsibility, and we will bring our troops home with the honor that they have earned. 在这一过渡时期，我们将进行进一步的重新部署。根据与伊拉克政府签署的《驻军地位协定》，我打算在2011年底前从伊拉克撤出所有美军。我们将完成向伊拉克方面移交责任的过渡，并让我们带着应得荣誉的部队回家。
As we responsibly remove our combat brigades, we will pursue the second part of our strategy: sustained diplomacy on behalf of a more peaceful and prosperous Iraq. 在我们负责任地撤出作战旅之际，我们将推进战略的第二部分：以持续的外交推动一个更加和平与繁荣的伊拉克。
The drawdown of our military should send a clear signal that Iraq's future is now its own responsibility. The long-term success of the Iraqi nation will depend upon decisions made by Iraq's leaders and the fortitude of the Iraqi people. Iraq is a sovereign country with legitimate institutions; America cannot – and should not – take their place. However, a strong political, diplomatic, and civilian effort on our part can advance progress and help lay a foundation for lasting peace and security. 我们军事力量的削减应当传递一个明确的信号：伊拉克的未来现在由它自己负责。伊拉克国家的长期成功将取决于伊拉克领导人所做的决定和伊拉克人民的坚韧。伊拉克是一个拥有合法机构的主权国家；美国不能——也不应该——取代他们的位置。然而，我们在政治、外交和民间事务上的强力努力可以推动进展，并帮助为持久和平与安全奠定基础。
This effort will be led by our new Ambassador to Iraq – Chris Hill. From his time in the Peace Corps, to his work in Kosovo and Korea, Ambassador Hill has been tested, and he has shown the pragmatism and skill that we need right now. He will be supported by the courageous and capable work of so many American diplomats and aid workers who are serving in Iraq. 这项工作将由我国新任驻伊拉克大使克里斯·希尔领导。从他在和平队的时光，到在科索沃和韩国的工作，希尔大使经受住了考验，展现出了我们当下所需的务实和能力。他将得到众多在伊拉克服务的美国外交官和援助人员勇敢而胜任的工作支持。
Going forward, we can make a difference on several fronts. We will work with the United Nations to support national elections, while helping Iraqis improve local government. We can serve as an honest broker in pursuit of fair and durable agreements on issues that have divided Iraq's leaders. And just as we will support Iraq's Security Forces, we will help Iraqi institutions strengthen their capacity to protect the rule of law, confront corruption, and deliver basic services. 展望未来，我们可以在多个方面发挥作用。我们将与联合国合作支持全国选举，同时帮助伊拉克人改善地方政府。我们可以充当诚实的中间人，寻求在那些让伊拉克领导人分歧的问题上达成公平且持久的协议。正如我们将支持伊拉克安全部队一样，我们也将帮助伊拉克机构加强其维护法治、打击腐败和提供基本服务的能力。
Diplomacy and assistance is also required to help the millions of displaced Iraqis. These men, women and children are a living consequence of this war and a challenge to stability in the region, and they must become a part of Iraq's reconciliation and recovery. America has a strategic interest – and a moral responsibility – to act. 外交和援助也是帮助数百万流离失所的伊拉克人所必需的。这些男人、女人和儿童是这场战争的活生生后果，也是对该地区稳定的挑战，他们必须成为伊拉克和解与复苏的一部分。美国有战略利益——也有道德责任——采取行动。
In the coming months, my administration will provide more assistance and take steps to increase international support for countries already hosting refugees; we'll cooperate with others to resettle Iraqis facing great personal risk; and we will work with the Iraqi government over time to resettle refugees and displaced Iraqis within Iraq – because there are few more powerful indicators of lasting peace than displaced citizens returning home. 在未来的几个月里，我的政府将提供更多援助，并采取措施增加对已经收容难民的国家的国际支持；我们将与其他国家合作，重新安置面临巨大人身风险的伊拉克人；我们还将随着时间推移与伊拉克政府合作，在伊拉克境内重新安置难民和流离失所的伊拉克人——因为流离失所的公民返回家园，是持久和平最有力的标志之一。
Now, before I go any further, I want to take a moment to speak directly to the people of Iraq. 现在，在我继续讲下去之前，我想花点时间直接对伊拉克人民说几句话。
You are a great nation, rooted in the cradle of civilization. You are joined together by enduring accomplishments, and a history that connects you as surely as the two rivers carved into your land. In years past, you have persevered through tyranny and terror; through personal insecurity and sectarian violence. And instead of giving in to the forces of disunion, you stepped back from a descent into civil war, and showed a proud resilience that deserves respect. 你们是一个伟大的国家，根植于文明的摇篮。你们因不朽的成就和一段将你们紧密相连——就如同那两条刻入你们土地的河流一般——的历史而结合在一起。过去的岁月里，你们经受住了暴政与恐怖、个人不安全与教派暴力。你们没有屈服于分裂的力量，而是从内战的深渊中退了回来，展现出了值得尊敬的骄傲韧性。
Our nations have known difficult times together. But ours is a bond forged by shared bloodshed, and countless friendships among our people. We Americans have offered our most precious resource -- our young men and women -- to work with you to rebuild what was destroyed by despotism; to root out our common enemies; and to seek peace and prosperity for our children and grandchildren, and for yours. 我们两国曾共同经历过艰难时刻。但我们之间的纽带是由共同流血牺牲和我们两国人民之间无数友谊铸就的。我们美国人献出了最珍贵的资源——我们的青年男女——与你们一起重建被专制摧毁的一切；铲除我们共同的敌人；为我们子孙后代、也为你们的子孙后代寻求和平与繁荣。
There are those who will try to prevent that future for Iraq – who will insist that Iraq's differences cannot be reconciled without more killing. They represent the forces that destroy nations and lead only to despair, and they will test our will in the months and years to come. America, too, has known these forces. We endured the pain of Civil War, and bitter divisions of region and race. But hostility and hatred are no match for justice; they offer no pathway to peace; and they must not stand between the people of Iraq and a future of reconciliation and hope. 有些人会试图阻止伊拉克拥有那样的未来——他们会坚持说，伊拉克的分歧不通过更多杀戮就无法调和。他们代表着毁灭国家、只带来绝望的力量，他们将在未来的岁月里考验我们的意志。美国也曾经历过这些力量。我们忍受过内战的痛苦，以及地区与种族间痛苦的分裂。但敌意与仇恨敌不过正义；它们无法通向和平；它们绝不能阻挡伊拉克人民走向和解与希望的未来。
So to the Iraqi people, let me be clear about America's intentions. The United States pursues no claim on your territory or your resources. We respect your sovereignty and the tremendous sacrifices you have made for your country. We seek a full transition to Iraqi responsibility for the security of your country. And going forward, we can build a lasting relationship founded upon mutual interests and mutual respect as Iraq takes its rightful place in the community of nations. 因此，对于伊拉克人民，让我明确说明美国的意图。美国对你们的领土或资源没有任何诉求。我们尊重你们的主权以及你们为国家做出的巨大牺牲。我们寻求将贵国的安全责任完全移交给伊拉克。展望未来，随着伊拉克在国际社会中取得应有的地位，我们可以建立在共同利益和相互尊重基础上的持久关系。
That leads me to the third part of our strategy -- comprehensive American engagement across the region. 这就引出了我们战略的第三部分——美国在整个地区的全面接触。
The future of Iraq is inseparable from the future of the broader Middle East, so we must work with our friends and partners to establish a new framework that advances Iraq's security and the region's. It is time for Iraq to be a full partner in a regional dialogue, and for Iraq's neighbors to establish productive and normalized relations with Iraq. And going forward, the United States will pursue principled and sustained engagement with all of the nations in the region, and that will include Iran and Syria. 伊拉克的未来与更广阔的中东地区的未来密不可分，因此我们必须与朋友和伙伴合作，建立一个推进伊拉克及该地区安全的新框架。现在是伊拉克成为地区对话完全伙伴、伊拉克邻国与伊拉克建立富有成效和正常化关系的时候了。展望未来，美国将与该地区所有国家进行有原则且持续的接触，其中包括伊朗和叙利亚。
This reflects a fundamental truth: we can no longer deal with regional challenges in isolation – we need a smarter, more sustainable and comprehensive approach. That is why we are renewing our diplomacy, while relieving the burden on our military. That is why we are refocusing on al Qaeda in Afghanistan and Pakistan; developing a strategy to use all elements of American power to prevent Iran from developing a nuclear weapon; and actively seeking a lasting peace between Israel and the Arab world. 这反映了一个根本事实：我们再也不能孤立地应对地区挑战——我们需要一种更聪明、更可持续、更全面的方法。正因如此，我们正在重振外交，同时减轻军队的负担。正因如此，我们正在重新聚焦于阿富汗和巴基斯坦的基地组织；制定一项运用美国权力的所有要素来阻止伊朗发展核武器的战略；并积极寻求以色列与阿拉伯世界之间的持久和平。
And that is why we have named three of America's most accomplished diplomats – George Mitchell, Dennis Ross and Richard Holbrooke – to support Secretary Clinton and me as we carry forward this agenda. 也正因如此，我们任命了三位美国最有成就的外交官——乔治·米切尔、丹尼斯·罗斯和理查德·霍尔布鲁克——来支持克林顿国务卿和我推进这一议程。
Every nation and every group must know -- whether you wish America good or ill -- that the end of the war in Iraq will enable a new era of American leadership and engagement in the Middle East. And that era has just begun. 每个国家、每个团体都必须明白——无论你对美国是善意还是恶意——伊拉克战争的结束将开启美国在中东领导力与接触的新时代。这个时代才刚刚开始。
Finally, I want to be very clear that my strategy for ending the war in Iraq does not end with military plans or diplomatic agendas – it endures through our commitment to uphold our sacred trust with every man and woman who has served in Iraq. 最后，我要明确表示，我结束伊拉克战争的战略并不止于军事计划或外交议程——它通过我们坚守对每一位曾在伊拉克服役的男女军人的神圣承诺而延续。
You make up a fraction of the American population, but in an age when so many people and institutions have acted irresponsibly, you did the opposite – you volunteered to bear the heaviest burden. And for you and for your families, the war does not end when you come home. It lives on in memories of your fellow soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines who gave their lives. It endures in the wound that is slow to heal, the disability that isn't going away, the dream that wakes you at night, or the stiffening in your spine when a car backfires down the street. 你们只占美国人口的一小部分，但在这个如此多人和机构行为不负责任的时代，你们做出了相反的选择——你们志愿承担最沉重的负担。对你们和你们的家人来说，战争并不在你们回家时结束。它活在你们那些献出生命的陆军战友、水兵、空军官兵和海军陆战队员的记忆中。它在迟迟难以愈合的伤口中、在挥之不去的残疾中、在夜里惊醒你的梦境中、在街头汽车回火时你脊背的僵直中延续。
You and your families have done your duty – now a grateful nation must do ours. That is why I am increasing the number of soldiers and Marines, so that we lessen the burden on those who are serving. And that is why I have committed to expanding our system of veterans health care to serve more patients, and to provide better care in more places. We will continue building new wounded warrior facilities across America, and invest in new ways of identifying and treating the signature wounds of this war: Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and Traumatic Brain Injury, as well as other combat injuries. 你们和你们的家人已经尽到了自己的责任——现在，一个感恩的国家必须尽到我们的责任。正因如此，我正在增加陆军士兵和海军陆战队的人数，以减轻正在服役者的负担。也正因如此，我承诺扩大我们的退伍军人医疗体系，以服务更多患者，并在更多地方提供更好的照护。我们将继续在全美各地建设新的伤员康复设施，并投资于识别和治疗这场战争标志性伤害的新方法：创伤后应激障碍和创伤性脑损伤，以及其他战斗伤害。
We also know that service does not end with the person wearing the uniform. In her visits with military families across the country, my wife Michelle has learned firsthand about the unique burden that your families endure every day. I want you to know this: military families are a top priority for Michelle and me, and they will be a top priority for my administration. We'll raise military pay, and continue providing quality child-care, job-training for spouses, and expanded counseling and outreach to families that have known the separation and stress of war. 我们也知道，服役并不止于身穿制服的人。在全国各地走访军人家庭时，我的妻子米歇尔亲身体会到了你们的家人每天所承受的独特负担。我要让你们知道：军人家庭是米歇尔和我最优先的事项，也将是我领导的政府的优先事项。我们将提高军人薪酬，继续提供优质的儿童看护、为配偶提供职业培训，并为那些经历过战争分离和压力的家庭提供扩大的咨询和外展服务。
We will also heed the lesson of history – that those who fight in battle can form the backbone of our middle class – by implementing a 21st century GI Bill to help our veterans live their dreams. 我们还将吸取历史的教训——那些在战场上战斗的人可以成为我们中产阶级的骨干——通过实施21世纪的《退伍军人权利法》来帮助我们的退伍军人实现他们的梦想。
As a nation, we have had our share of debates about the war in Iraq. It has, at times, divided us as a people. To this very day, there are some Americans who want to stay in Iraq longer, and some who want to leave faster. But there should be no disagreement on what the men and women of our military have achieved. 作为一个国家，我们曾就伊拉克战争进行过不少辩论。它有时让我们作为一个民族产生分裂。直到今天，仍有一些美国人希望在伊拉克待得更久，也有一些希望更快撤离。但对于我们军队的男女官兵所取得的成就，不应存在任何分歧。
And so I want to be very clear: We sent our troops to Iraq to do away with Saddam Hussein's regime – and you got the job done. We kept our troops in Iraq to help establish a sovereign government – and you got the job done. And we will leave the Iraqi people with a hard-earned opportunity to live a better life – that is your achievement; that is the prospect that you have made possible. 因此我要明确表示：我们派兵前往伊拉克是为了铲除萨达姆·侯赛因政权——你们完成了任务。我们让部队留在伊拉克是为了帮助建立一个主权政府——你们完成了任务。我们将留给伊拉克人民一个来之不易的机会去过上更好的生活——这是你们的成就；这是你们使之成为可能的前景。
There are many lessons to be learned from what we've experienced. We have learned that America must go to war with clearly defined goals, which is why I've ordered a review of our policy in Afghanistan. We have learned that we must always weigh the costs of action, and communicate those costs candidly to the American people, which is why I've put Iraq and Afghanistan into my budget. 从我们的经历中可以汲取许多教训。我们认识到，美国必须以明确界定的目标开战，正因如此，我已经下令对我们阿富汗的政策进行评估。我们认识到，我们必须始终权衡行动的代价，并坦诚地向美国人民传达这些代价，正因如此，我已经把伊拉克和阿富汗纳入我的预算。
We have learned that in the 21st century, we must use all elements of American power to achieve our objectives, which is why I am committed to building our civilian national security capacity so that the burden is not continually pushed on to our military. We have learned that our political leaders must pursue the broad and bipartisan support that our national security policies depend upon, which is why I will consult with Congress and in carrying out my plans. 我们认识到，在21世纪，我们必须运用美国权力的所有要素来实现我们的目标，正因如此，我致力于建设我们的文职国家安全能力，以使负担不再持续压在我们的军队身上。我们认识到，我们的政治领导人必须追求国家安全政策所依赖的广泛且两党共识的支持，正因如此，我将与国会磋商并推进我的计划。
And we have learned the importance of working closely with friends and allies, which is why we are launching a new era of engagement in the world. 我们也认识到与朋友和盟友密切合作的重要性，正因如此，我们正在开启一个世界接触的新时代。
The starting point for our policies must always be the safety of the American people. I know that you – the men and women of the finest fighting force in the history of the world – can meet any challenge, and defeat any foe. And as long as I am your Commander-in-Chief, I promise you that I will only send you into harm's way when it is absolutely necessary, and provide you with the equipment and support you need to get the job done. That is the most important lesson of all – for the consequences of war are dire, the sacrifices immeasurable. 我们政策的出发点必须始终是美国人民的安全。我知道你们——这支世界历史上最精锐战斗力量的男女官兵——能够迎接任何挑战、击败任何敌人。只要我担任你们的总司令，我向你们承诺：我只有在绝对必要时才会派你们进入险境，并为你们提供完成任务所需的装备和支持。这是所有教训中最重要的——因为战争的后果是惨烈的，牺牲是无法估量的。
You know because you have seen those sacrifices. You have lived them. And we all honor them. 你们知道，因为你们目睹了这些牺牲。你们亲身经历过。我们所有人都向这些牺牲致敬。
"Semper Fidelis" – it means always being faithful to Corps, and to country, and to the memory of fallen comrades like Corporal Jonathan Yale and Lance Corporal Jordan Haerter. These young men enlisted in a time of war, knowing they would face great danger. They came here, to Camp Lejeune, as they trained for their mission. And last April, they were standing guard in Anbar. In an age when suicide is a weapon, they were suddenly faced with an oncoming truck filled with explosives. These two Marines stood their ground. These two Marines opened fire. And these two Marines stopped that truck. "永远忠诚"——它意味着永远忠于军团、忠于国家，忠于像下士乔纳森·耶鲁和一等兵乔丹·赫特这样阵亡战友的记忆。这些年轻人在战争时期入伍，明知会面临巨大危险。他们曾来到坎普勒任，为他们的任务接受训练。去年四月，他们在安巴尔省站岗执勤。在一个把自杀式袭击当作武器的时代，他们突然面对一辆装满炸药迎面冲来的卡车。这两名海军陆战队员坚守阵地。这两名海军陆战队员开火射击。这两名海军陆战队员拦下了那辆卡车。
When the thousands of pounds of explosives detonated, they had saved fifty Marines and Iraqi police who would have been in the truck's path, but Corporal Yale and Lance Corporal Haerter lost their own lives. Jonathan was 21. Jordan was 19. 当数千磅炸药引爆时，他们救下了本会处于卡车行进路线上的五十名海军陆战队员和伊拉克警察，但耶鲁下士和赫特一等兵却献出了自己的生命。乔纳森21岁。乔丹19岁。
In the town where Jordan Haerter was from, a bridge was dedicated in his name. One Marine who traveled to the ceremony said: "We flew here from all over the country to pay tribute to our friend Jordan, who risked his life to save us. We wouldn't be here without him." 在乔丹·赫特的家乡，一座桥梁以他的名字命名。一位前来参加命名仪式的海军陆战队员说："我们从全国各地飞来，向我们的朋友乔丹致敬，他冒着自己的生命危险救了我们。没有他，我们今天就不会在这里。"
America's time in Iraq is filled with stories of men and women like this. Their names are written into bridges and town squares. They are etched into stones at Arlington, and in quiet places of rest across our land. They are spoken in schools and on city blocks. They live on in the memories of those who wear your uniform, in the hearts of those they loved, and in the freedom of the nation they served. 美国在伊拉克的岁月充满了像这样男女军人的故事。他们的名字被镌刻在桥梁和城镇广场上。他们被刻在阿灵顿国家公墓的石头上，刻在我国大地上那些安静的安息之所。他们的名字在学校里、在城市街区中被传颂。他们活在身着你们这身制服的人的记忆中，活在他们所爱之人的心中，活在他们所服务的国家的自由中。
Each American who has served in Iraq has their own story. Each of you has your own story. And that story is now a part of the history of the United States of America – a nation that exists only because free men and women have bled for it from the beaches of Normandy to the deserts of Anbar; from the mountains of Korea to the streets of Kandahar. You teach us that the price of freedom is great. Your sacrifice should challenge all of us – every single American – to ask what we can do to be better citizens. 每一位在伊拉克服役过的美国人都有他们自己的故事。你们每个人都有自己的故事。而这个故事如今已成为美利坚合众国历史的一部分——这个国家之所以存在，只是因为自由的男男女女从诺曼底的海滩到安巴尔的沙漠、从朝鲜的群山到坎大哈的街道为它流血牺牲。你们教导我们，自由的代价是巨大的。你们的牺牲应当激励我们所有人——每一个美国人——去问自己，我们能做些什么成为更好的公民。
There will be more danger in the months ahead. We will face new tests and unforeseen trials. But thanks to the sacrifices of those who have served, we have forged hard-earned progress, we are leaving Iraq to its people, and we have begun the work of ending this war. 未来数月仍会有更多危险。我们将面临新的考验和无法预见的试炼。但多亏了那些服役者的牺牲，我们已取得了来之不易的进展，我们正把伊拉克交还给伊拉克人民，我们已经开始了结束这场战争的工作。
Thank you, God Bless you, and God Bless the United States of America. Semper Fi. 谢谢你们，愿上帝保佑你们，愿上帝保佑美利坚合众国。永远忠诚。
