Let me first of all say how grateful I am for all of you being here, and how -- how much we appreciate everything that you've done. I know that there are a lot of people here who have been so engaged in the campaign, have sacrificed so much, people who've been involved back since 2007. And...so I...want all of you to know how appreciative I am. 首先，我要说，感谢在座各位的到来，感谢——感谢大家所做的一切。我知道这里有很多人一直积极参与竞选活动，做出了很大牺牲，有些人从2007年就一直在参与。所以……我想让大家都知道我有多么感激。
And I know many of you came here today for a campaign event. I was looking forward to having a fun conversation with you about some really important matters that we face as a country and the differences between myself and my opponent in this election. 我知道你们很多人今天来参加一场竞选活动。我本期待与你们进行一次轻松的对话，讨论我们国家面临的一些真正重要的问题，以及我和我的对手在这次选举中的不同之处。
But this morning, we woke up to news of a tragedy that reminds us of all the ways that we are united as one American family. 但今天早上，我们醒来后得知了一个悲剧的消息，它提醒我们，我们作为一个美国家庭是如何团结在一起的。
By now, many of you know, many of you have heard that a few miles outside of Denver, in a town call Aurora, at least 12 people were killed when a gunman opened fire in a movie theater, and dozens more are being treated for injuries at a local hospital. Some of the victims are being treated at a children's hospital. 到目前为止，你们很多人知道，很多人已经听说了，在丹佛郊外几英里处，一个叫奥罗拉的小镇，一名持枪者在一家电影院开枪射击，至少12人遇难，数十人在当地医院接受治疗。一些伤者正在一家儿童医院接受救治。
Now, we're still gathering all the facts about what happened in Aurora, but what we do know is that the police have one suspect in custody. And the federal government stands ready to do whatever is necessary to bring whoever is responsible for this heinous crime to justice -- and we will take every step possible to ensure the safety of all of our people. 我们仍在收集关于奥罗拉事件的所有事实，但我们所知道的是，警方已经拘留了一名嫌疑人。联邦政府已做好准备，采取一切必要措施，将犯下这桩骇人罪行的凶手绳之以法——我们将尽一切可能确保我国人民的安全。
We're going to stand by our neighbors in Colorado during this extraordinarily difficult time. And I had a chance to speak with the Mayor of Aurora as well as the Governor of Colorado to express, not just on behalf of Michelle and myself, but the entire American family, how heartbroken we are. 在这个异常艰难的时期，我们将与科罗拉多州的邻居们站在一起。我有机会与奥罗拉市长和科罗拉多州州长通话，不仅代表米歇尔和我自己，还代表整个美国家庭，表达我们的心碎之情。
Now, even as we learn how this happened and who's responsible, we may never understand what leads anybody to terrorize their fellow human beings like this. Such violence, such evil is senseless. It's beyond reason. 即使我们在了解事件是如何发生的、谁应负责的同时，我们可能永远无法理解是什么驱使一个人这样恐吓自己的同胞。这样的暴力，这样的邪恶是毫无意义的。它超出了理性的范畴。
But while we will never know fully what causes somebody to take the life of another, we do know what makes life worth living. The people we lost in Aurora loved and they were loved. They were mothers and fathers; they were husbands and wives; sisters and brothers; sons and daughters, friends and neighbors. They had hopes for the future and they had dreams that were not yet fulfilled. 虽然我们可能永远无法完全了解是什么导致一个人夺走他人的生命，但我们确实知道什么让生命值得度过。我们在奥罗拉失去的那些人，他们爱过也被爱着。他们是父亲和母亲；他们是丈夫和妻子；姐妹和兄弟；儿女，朋友和邻居。他们对未来抱有希望，他们的梦想尚未实现。
And if there's anything to take away from this tragedy it's the reminder that life is very fragile. Our time here is limited and it is precious. And what matters at the end of the day is not the small things; it's not the trivial things, which so often consume us and our daily lives. Ultimately, it's how we choose to treat one another and how we love one another. 如果能从这场悲剧中汲取什么，那就是提醒我们：生命是如此脆弱。我们在这里的时间是有限的，也是珍贵的。归根结底，重要的不是琐碎的小事；不是那些常常消耗我们日常生活的无关紧要的事。最终，重要的是我们如何选择对待彼此，如何彼此相爱。
It's -- It's what we do on a daily basis to give our lives meaning and to give our lives purpose. That's what matters. At the end of the day, what we'll remember will be those we loved and what we did for others. That's why we're here. 正是——正是我们每天所做的事情赋予了我们生命的意义和目的。那才是重要的。归根结底，我们会记住的是我们所爱的人和我们为他人所做的事。这就是我们存在的意义。
I'm sure that many of you who are parents here had the same reaction that I did when I heard this news. My daughters go to the movies. What if Malia and Sasha had been at the theater, as so many of our kids do every day? Michelle and I will be fortunate enough to hug our girls a little tighter tonight, and I'm sure you will do the same with your children. But for those parents who may not be so lucky, we have to embrace them and let them know we will be there for them as a nation. 我相信在座很多做父母的人听到这个消息时，和我有同样的反应。我的女儿们也会去看电影。如果马莉娅和萨莎那天也在那家电影院呢，就像我们那么多孩子每天做的那样？米歇尔和我会很幸运能在今晚把女儿们抱得更紧一些，我相信你们也会对自己的孩子这样做。但对于那些可能没有那么幸运的父母，我们必须拥抱他们，让他们知道作为一个国家，我们会与他们同在。
So, again, I am -- I'm so grateful that all of you are here. I am...so moved by your support. But there are going to be other days for politics. This, I think, is a day for prayer and reflection. 所以，再一次，我——我非常感谢大家来到这里。我被你们的支持深深打动。但政治可以留到其他日子。我认为，今天是一个祈祷和反思的日子。
For -- So -- So what I'd ask everybody to do, I'd like us to pause in a moment of silence for the victims of this terrible tragedy, for the people who knew them and loved them, for those who are still struggling to recover, and for all the victims of less publicized acts of violence that plague our communities every single day. 因此——所以——所以我想请所有人做的是，我希望我们为这场可怕悲剧的受害者、为认识他们和爱他们的人、为那些仍在努力康复的人，以及为每天困扰我们社区的、那些不太为人所知的暴力事件的受害者们，默哀片刻。
So if everybody can just take a moment. 所以如果大家可以静默片刻。
[Silence observed] [默哀]
Thank you, everybody. 谢谢大家。
I hope all of you will keep the people of Aurora in your hearts and minds today. May the Lord bring them comfort and healing in hard days to come. 我希望大家今天把奥罗拉的人民放在心上和脑海中。愿主在未来的艰难岁月中赐予他们安慰与疗愈。
I am grateful to all of you, and I hope that as a consequence of today's events, as -- as you leave here, you spend a little time thinking about the incredible blessings that God has given us. 我感谢在座的各位，我希望由于今天的事件，当你们离开这里时，你们能花一点时间思考上帝赐予我们的不可思议的恩典。
Thank you very much, everybody. 非常感谢大家。
God bless you. 上帝保佑你们。
God bless the United States of America. 上帝保佑美利坚合众国。
