Good morning, everybody. I've just been briefed by my national security team, including FBI Director Mueller, Attorney General Holder, Secretary Napolitano, and my Counterterrorism and Homeland Security Advisor Lisa Monaco, on the attacks in Boston. We continue to mobilize and deploy all appropriate law enforcement resources to protect our citizens, and to investigate and to respond to this attack. 大家早上好。国家安全团队刚刚就波士顿袭击事件向我作了汇报，成员包括联邦调查局局长穆勒、司法部长霍尔德、国土安全部部长纳波利塔诺，以及我的反恐和国土安全顾问莉萨·莫纳科。我们正继续调动和部署一切适当的执法资源，保护公民，调查并应对这起袭击。
Obviously our first thoughts this morning are with the victims, their families, and the city of Boston. We know that two explosions gravely wounded dozens of Americans, and took the lives of others, including a 8-year-old boy. 今天早晨，我们首先想到的当然是受害者、他们的家人以及波士顿这座城市。我们知道，两次爆炸使数十名美国人严重受伤，并夺走了另一些人的生命，其中包括一名八岁男孩。
This was a heinous and cowardly act. And given what we now know about what took place, the FBI is investigating it as an act of terrorism. Any time bombs are used to target innocent civilians it is an act of terror. What we don’t yet know, however, is who carried out this attack, or why; whether it was planned and executed by a terrorist organization, foreign or domestic, or was the act of a malevolent individual. That's what we don't yet know. And clearly, we’re at the beginning of our investigation. 这是卑劣而怯懦的行径。根据目前掌握的情况，联邦调查局正把它作为恐怖主义行为调查。用炸弹袭击无辜平民，无论何时都是恐怖行为。但我们尚不知道是谁实施了袭击，动机是什么；也不知道它是由国内或国外的恐怖组织策划执行，还是出自某个心怀恶意的个人。这些问题还没有答案。显然，调查才刚刚开始。
It will take time to follow every lead and determine what happened. But we will find out. We will find whoever harmed our citizens and we will bring them to justice. 追查每一条线索、查明事情经过需要时间。但我们一定会查清真相，找到伤害我国公民的人，并将他们绳之以法。
We also know this -- the American people refuse to be terrorized. Because what the world saw yesterday in the aftermath of the explosions were stories of heroism and kindness, and generosity and love: Exhausted runners who kept running to the nearest hospital to give blood, and those who stayed to tend to the wounded, some tearing off their own clothes to make tourniquets. 我们还知道一点：美国人民拒绝被恐吓。昨天爆炸发生后，世界看到的是一个个关于英勇、善良、慷慨与爱的故事。精疲力尽的跑者继续奔向最近的医院献血；有些人留下照顾伤者，甚至撕下自己的衣服做止血带。
The first responders who ran into the chaos to save lives. The men and women who are still treating the wounded at some of the best hospitals in the world, and the medical students who hurried to help, saying “When we heard, we all came in.” The priests who opened their churches and ministered to the hurt and the fearful. And the good people of Boston who opened their homes to the victims of this attack and those shaken by it. 先遣救援人员冲进混乱现场拯救生命。医护人员仍在世界一流的医院里救治伤者，医学生也匆忙赶来帮忙，说：“我们一听到消息，就都来了。”神职人员敞开教堂的大门，安慰伤者和恐惧中的人们。善良的波士顿人向袭击受害者和受到惊吓的人敞开家门。
So if you want to know who we are, what America is, how we respond to evil -- that’s it. Selflessly. Compassionately. Unafraid. 所以，如果你想知道我们是谁、美国是什么样、我们如何回应邪恶，这就是答案：无私、仁爱、无所畏惧。
In the coming days, we will pursue every effort to get to the bottom of what happened. And we will continue to remain vigilant. I’ve directed my administration to take appropriate security measures to protect the American people. And this is a good time for all of us to remember that we all have a part to play in alerting authorities -- if you see something suspicious, speak up. 未来几天，我们将尽一切努力查明事情经过，并继续保持警惕。我已指示政府采取适当的安全措施，保护美国人民。这也是提醒我们每个人的时候：发现可疑情况，就要向当局报告。我们都有责任尽一份力。
I have extraordinary confidence in the men and women of the FBI, the Boston Police Department, and the other agencies that responded so heroically and effectively in the aftermath of yesterday’s events. I’m very grateful for the leadership of Governor Patrick and Mayor Menino. And I know that even as we protect our people and aggressively pursue this investigation, the people of Boston will continue to respond in the same proud and heroic way that they have thus far -- and their fellow Americans will be right there with them. 我对联邦调查局、波士顿警察局，以及昨天事发后英勇而有效地应对的其他机构的工作人员充满信心。我非常感谢帕特里克州长和梅尼诺市长的领导。我知道，即使我们一边保护人民、一边全力调查，波士顿人民仍会像此前一样，以自豪而英勇的方式作出回应；其他美国人也会与他们并肩同行。
Thank you very much. And you can expect further briefings from our law enforcement officials as the day goes on. When we have more details, they will be disclosed. What I’ve indicated to you is what we know now. 非常感谢。今天晚些时候，执法部门会进一步向大家通报。有了更多细节，我们就会公布。我刚才告诉你们的，就是我们目前所知道的。
We know it was bombs that were set off. We know that obviously they did some severe damage. We do not know who did them. We do not know whether this was an act of an organization or an individual or individuals. We don’t have a sense of motive yet. So everything else at this point is speculation. But as we receive more information, as the FBI has more information, as our counterterrorism teams have more information, we will make sure to keep you and the American people posted. 我们知道有炸弹被引爆，也知道它们造成了严重损害。我们不知道是谁引爆了炸弹，不知道这是某个组织所为，还是一个人或几个人所为。目前也不知道动机。因此，其他说法眼下都只是猜测。随着我们、联邦调查局及反恐团队获得更多信息，我们会确保及时向各位和美国人民通报。
Thank you very much, everybody. 非常感谢大家。
