Good morning. Every day, all across the world, American diplomats and civilians work tirelessly to advance the interests and values of our nation. Often, they are away from their families. Sometimes, they brave great danger. 早上好。每一天，在全世界各地，美国外交官和文职人员不知疲倦地推进我们国家的利益和价值观。他们常常远离家人。有时，他们冒着巨大的危险。
Yesterday, four of these extraordinary Americans were killed in an attack on our diplomatic post in Benghazi. Among those killed was our Ambassador, Chris Stevens, as well as Foreign Service Officer Sean Smith. We are still notifying the families of the others who were killed. And today, the American people stand united in holding the families of the four Americans in our thoughts and in our prayers. 昨天，四名杰出的美国人在对我们班加西外交机构的袭击中遇难。遇难者中包括我国大使克里斯·史蒂文斯，以及外交官肖恩·史密斯。我们仍在通知其他遇难者的家属。今天，美国人民团结一致，将这四名美国人的家属铭记在心，为他们祈祷。
The United States condemns in the strongest terms this outrageous and shocking attack. We're working with the government of Libya to secure our diplomats. I've also directed my administration to increase our security at diplomatic posts around the world. And make no mistake, we will work with the Libyan government to bring to justice the killers who attacked our people. 美国以最强烈的措辞谴责这起令人发指和震惊的袭击。我们正与利比亚政府合作，确保我方外交人员的安全。我还指示本届政府加强全球各地外交机构的安全措施。请明确一点，我们将与利比亚政府合作，将袭击我国人民的凶手绳之以法。
Since our founding, the United States has been a nation that respects all faiths. We reject all efforts to denigrate the religious beliefs of others. But there is absolutely no justification to this type of senseless violence. None. The world must stand together to unequivocally reject these brutal acts. 自建国以来，美国一直是一个尊重所有信仰的国家。我们反对一切贬低他人宗教信仰的行为。但是，这种毫无意义的暴力行为绝对没有任何正当理由。没有任何理由。全世界必须团结一致，明确拒绝这些残暴行径。
Already, many Libyans have joined us in doing so, and this attack will not break the bonds between the United States and Libya. Libyan security personnel fought back against the attackers alongside Americans. Libyans helped some of our diplomats find safety, and they carried Ambassador Stevens's body to the hospital, where we tragically learned that he had died. 许多利比亚人已经加入了我们的行列，这次袭击不会破坏美国与利比亚之间的纽带。利比亚安全人员与美国人员一起反击了袭击者。利比亚人帮助我方一些外交人员找到安全之处，他们还将史蒂文斯大使的遗体送到医院，在那里我们悲痛地得知他已经去世。
It's especially tragic that Chris Stevens died in Benghazi because it is a city that he helped to save. At the height of the Libyan revolution, Chris led our diplomatic post in Benghazi. With characteristic skill, courage, and resolve, he built partnerships with Libyan revolutionaries, and helped them as they planned to build a new Libya. 克里斯·史蒂文斯在班加西遇难尤其令人悲痛，因为他曾帮助拯救这座城市。在利比亚革命高潮期间，克里斯领导了我们在班加西的外交机构。凭借他特有的能力、勇气和决心，他与利比亚革命者建立了合作关系，并帮助他们规划建设新利比亚。
When the Qaddafi regime came to an end, Chris was there to serve as our ambassador to the new Libya, and he worked tirelessly to support this young democracy, and I think both Secretary Clinton and I relied deeply on his knowledge of the situation on the ground there. He was a role model to all who worked with him and to the young diplomats who aspire to walk in his footsteps. 当卡扎菲政权覆灭时，克里斯在那里担任我们驻新利比亚的大使，他不知疲倦地支持这个年轻的民主国家，我想克林顿国务卿和我都深深依赖他对当地局势的了解。他是所有与他共事的人以及渴望追随他脚步的年轻外交官的楷模。
Along with his colleagues, Chris died in a country that is still striving to emerge from the recent experience of war. Today, the loss of these four Americans is fresh, but our memories of them linger on. I have no doubt that their legacy will live on through the work that they did far from our shores and in the hearts of those who love them back home. 与同事们一起，克里斯在一个仍在努力从最近的战争经历中走出来的国家遇难。今天，失去这四名美国人的伤痛历历在目，但我们对他们的记忆将长存。我毫不怀疑，他们的精神遗产将通过他们在远离祖国之所做的工作，以及在故乡爱他们的人们心中延续下去。
Of course, yesterday was already a painful day for our nation as we marked the solemn memory of the 9/11 attacks. We mourned with the families who were lost on that day. I visited the graves of troops who made the ultimate sacrifice in Iraq and Afghanistan at the hallowed grounds of Arlington Cemetery, and had the opportunity to say thank you and visit some of our wounded warriors at Walter Reed. And then last night, we learned the news of this attack in Benghazi. 当然，昨天对我国来说本来就已经是一个痛苦的日子，因为我们纪念了9/11袭击的庄严记忆。我们与在那一天逝去的生命家属一起哀悼。我在阿灵顿国家公墓的圣地探访了在伊拉克和阿富汗做出终极牺牲的军人墓碑，并有机会表达感谢，探望了沃尔特·里德医院的伤员。然后昨晚，我们得知了班加西袭击的消息。
As Americans, let us never, ever forget that our freedom is only sustained because there are people who are willing to fight for it, to stand up for it, and in some cases, lay down their lives for it. Our country is only as strong as the character of our people and the service of those both civilian and military who represent us around the globe. 作为美国人，让我们永远、永远不要忘记，我们的自由之所以能够维系，是因为有人愿意为之奋斗、为之挺身而出，在某些情况下甚至为之献出生命。我们的国家只有在我们人民的品格以及在全球各地代表我们的文职和军事人员的服务中才能强大。
No acts of terror will ever shake the resolve of this great nation, alter that character, or eclipse the light of the values that we stand for. Today we mourn four more Americans who represent the very best of the United States of America. We will not waver in our commitment to see that justice is done for this terrible act. And make no mistake, justice will be done. 任何恐怖行为都永远无法动摇这个伟大国家的决心，无法改变我们的品格，也无法遮蔽我们所代表价值观的光芒。今天我们哀悼四名代表了美利坚合众国最优秀品质的美国人。我们坚定不移地致力于让这一可怕行径得到正义的审判。请明确一点，正义终将得到伸张。
But we also know that the lives these Americans led stand in stark contrast to those of their attackers. These four Americans stood up for freedom and human dignity. They should give every American great pride in the country that they served, and the hope that our flag represents to people around the globe who also yearn to live in freedom and with dignity. 但我们也知道，这些美国人所过的生活与袭击者的生活形成了鲜明对比。这四名美国人为自由和人类尊严而挺身而出。他们应该让每个美国人为他们所服务的国家感到无比自豪，也让我们的旗帜向全世界那些同样渴望自由和尊严生活的人们传递希望。
We grieve with their families, but let us carry on their memory, and let us continue their work of seeking a stronger America and a better world for all of our children. 我们与他们的家属一起悲痛，但让我们传承对他们的记忆，让我们继续他们的事业，为一个更强大的美国和所有孩子们的更美好世界而努力。
Thank you. May God bless the memory of those we lost and may God bless the United States of America. 谢谢。愿上帝保佑逝者的记忆，愿上帝保佑美利坚合众国。
