Thank you. Please -- Please be seated. 谢谢大家。请坐。
To the families of those we've lost; to all who called them friends; to the students of this university, the public servants who are gathered here, the people of Tucson and the people of Arizona: I have come here tonight as an American who, like all Americans, kneels to pray with you today and will stand by you tomorrow. 致我们失去的亲人的家属，致所有称他们为朋友的人，致这所大学的学生们，致聚集在此的公职人员，致图森的人民，致亚利桑那的人民：我今晚来到这里，作为一个美国人，像所有美国人一样，今天与你们一同跪下祈祷，明天与你们并肩而立。
There is nothing I can say that will fill the sudden hole torn in your hearts. But know this: The hopes of a nation are here tonight. We mourn with you for the fallen. We join you in your grief. And we add our faith to yours that Representative Gabrielle Giffords and the other living victims of this tragedy will pull through. 我没有任何言语能够填补你们心中突然撕裂的空洞。但请知道：一个国家的希望今夜汇聚于此。我们与你们一同哀悼逝者。我们与你们一同承受悲痛。我们与你们一同坚信，加布里埃尔·吉福兹议员和这场悲剧中的其他幸存者将会康复。
Scripture tells us: 经文告诉我们：
There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy place where the Most High dwells. God is within her, she will not fall; God will help her at break of day. 有一条河，这河的分叉使神的城欢喜， 至高者居住的圣所。 神在其中，城必不动摇； 到天一亮，神必帮助这城。
On Saturday morning, Gabby, her staff and many of her constituents gathered outside a supermarket to exercise their right to peaceful assembly and free speech. They were fulfilling a central tenet of the democracy envisioned by our founders -- representatives of the people answering questions to their constituents, so as to carry their concerns back to our nation's capital. Gabby called it "Congress on Your Corner" -- just an updated version of government of and by and for the people. 星期六早晨，加比、她的工作人员和许多选民聚集在一家超市外，行使他们和平集会和言论自由的权利。他们正在践行我们开国先贤所构想的民主的核心原则——人民的代表回答选民的问题，以便将他们的关切带回我们国家的首都。加比称之为"国会就在你身边"——这只是民有、民治、民享政府的一种现代版本。
And that quintessentially American scene, that was the scene that was shattered by a gunman's bullets. And the six people who lost their lives on Saturday -- they, too, represented what is best in us, what is best in America. 而那个典型的美国场景，那个场景被一个枪手的子弹所粉碎。星期六失去生命的六个人——他们同样代表了我们身上最美好的品质，代表了美国最美好的品质。
Judge John Roll served our legal system for nearly 40 years. A graduate of this university and a graduate of this law school -- Judge Roll was recommended for the federal bench by John McCain 20 years ago -- appointed by President George H.W. Bush and rose to become Arizona's chief federal judge. 约翰·罗尔法官为我们的司法系统服务了近四十年。他是这所大学的毕业生，也是这所法学院的毕业生——二十年前约翰·麦凯恩推荐他担任联邦法官——由乔治·H·W·布什总统任命，并晋升为亚利桑那州首席联邦法官。
His colleagues described him as the hardest-working judge within the Ninth Circuit. He was on his way back from attending Mass, as he did every day, when he decided to stop by and say hi to his representative. John is survived by his loving wife, Maureen, his three sons and his five beautiful grandchildren. 他的同事们形容他是第九巡回法院最勤奋的法官。他当时刚做完弥撒回来——他每天都去——当他决定顺道去和他的议员打个招呼。约翰留下了他深爱的妻子莫琳、三个儿子和五个美丽的孙辈。
George and Dorothy Morris -- "Dot" to her friends -- were high school sweethearts who got married and had two daughters. They did everything together -- traveling the open road in their RV, enjoying what their friends called a 50-year honeymoon. Saturday morning, they went by the Safeway to hear what their congresswoman had to say. When gunfire rang out, George, a former Marine, instinctively tried to shield his wife. Both were shot. Dot passed away. 乔治和多萝西·莫里斯——朋友们叫她"多特"——是高中恋人，结婚后育有两个女儿。他们一起做所有事情——开着房车在公路上旅行，享受朋友们所说的五十年蜜月。星期六早晨，他们去西夫韦超市听他们的女议员讲话。枪声响起时，乔治——一名前海军陆战队员——本能地试图保护他的妻子。两人都被枪击。多特去世了。
A New Jersey native, Phyllis Schneck retired to Tucson to beat the snow. But in the summer, she would return East, where her world revolved around her three children, her seven grandchildren and 2-year-old great-granddaughter. A gifted quilter, she'd often work under a favorite tree, or sometimes she'd sew aprons with the logos of the Jets and the Giants -- to give out at the church where she volunteered. A Republican, she took a liking to Gabby, and wanted to get to know her better. 菲利斯·施内克是新泽西州人，退休后搬到图森躲避风雪。但在夏天，她会回到东部，在那里她的世界围绕着她的三个孩子、七个孙辈和两岁的曾孙女转。她是一位有天赋的拼布工匠，经常在一棵最喜欢的树下工作，有时她会缝制带有喷气机队和巨人队标志的围裙——在她做志愿者的教堂分发。作为一名共和党人，她对加比颇有好感，想更好地了解她。
Dorwan and Mavy Stoddard grew up in Tucson together -- about 70 years ago. They moved apart and started their own respective families. But after both were widowed they found their way back here, to, as one of Mavy's daughters put it, "be boyfriend and girlfriend again." 多尔万和梅维·斯托达德大约七十年前在图森一起长大。他们分开后各自组建了家庭。但在两人都丧偶后，他们又回到了这里，正如梅维的一个女儿所说，"再次成为男女朋友"。
When they weren't out on the road in their motor home, you could find them just up the road, helping folks in need at the Mountain Avenue Church of Christ. A retired construction worker, Dorwan spent his spare time fixing up the church along with his dog, Tux. His final act of selflessness was to dive on top of his wife, sacrificing his life for hers. 当他们不在房车旅行时，你可以在山大道基督教堂找到他们帮助有需要的人。多尔万是一名退休建筑工人，业余时间和他的狗狗塔克斯一起修缮教堂。他最后一个无私的举动是扑在妻子身上，用自己的生命换取了她的生命。
Everything -- everything -- Gabe Zimmerman did, he did with passion. But his true passion was helping people. As Gabby's outreach director, he made the cares of thousands of her constituents his own, seeing to it that seniors got the Medicare benefits that they had earned, that veterans got the medals and the care that they deserved, that government was working for ordinary folks. He died doing what he loved -- talking with people and seeing how he could help. And Gabe is survived by his parents, Ross and Emily, his brother, Ben, and his fiancee, Kelly, who he planned to marry next year. 加布·齐默尔曼所做的每一件事，他都充满激情地去做。但他真正的热情是帮助他人。作为加比的外联主任，他把数千名选民的关切当作自己的关切，确保老年人获得他们应得的医疗保障，确保退伍军人获得他们应得的奖章和关怀，确保政府为普通民众服务。他死于他所热爱的事情——与人交谈，看看自己能帮上什么忙。加布留下了父母罗斯和艾米丽、兄弟本和他的未婚妻凯莉，他计划明年和她结婚。
And then there is nine-year-old Christina Taylor Green. Christina was an A student; she was a dancer; she was a gymnast; she was a swimmer. She decided that she wanted to be the first woman to play in the Major Leagues, and as the only girl on her Little League team, no one put it past her. 还有九岁的克里斯蒂娜·泰勒·格林。克里斯蒂娜是一名优等生；她是一名舞者；她是一名体操运动员；她是一名游泳健将。她决定要成为第一个参加职业棒球大联盟的女性，作为她少年棒球队中唯一的女孩，没有人认为她做不到。
She showed an appreciation for life uncommon for a girl her age. She'd remind her mother, "We are so blessed. We have the best life." And she'd pay those blessings back by participating in a charity that helped children who were less fortunate. 她展现出了一种同龄女孩中罕见的对生命的珍视。她会提醒母亲："我们太幸运了。我们拥有最好的生活。"她会通过参与帮助不幸儿童的慈善活动来回报这些幸运。
Our hearts are broken by their sudden passing. Our hearts are broken -- and yet, our hearts also have reason for fullness. Our hearts are full of hope and thanks for the 13 Americans who survived the shooting, including the congresswoman many of them went to see on Saturday. 我们的心因他们突然离去而破碎。我们的心破碎了——然而，我们的心也有理由感到充实。我们的心充满希望和感激，为那十三位在枪击中幸存的美国人，包括他们中许多人星期六前去探望的那位女议员。
I have just come from the University Medical Center, just a mile from here, where our friend Gabby courageously fights to recover even as we speak. And I want to tell you -- her husband Mark is here and he allows me to share this with you -- right after we went to visit, a few minutes after we left her room and some of her colleagues in Congress were in the room, Gabby opened her eyes for the first time. Gabby opened her eyes for the first time. 我刚从大学医疗中心回来，距离这里仅一英里，我们的朋友加比正在那里勇敢地与伤痛抗争。我想告诉你们——她的丈夫马克在这里，他允许我和你们分享这个消息——就在我们去探望之后，我们离开她的房间几分钟后，她的一些国会同事在房间里，加比第一次睁开了眼睛。加比第一次睁开了眼睛。
Gabby opened her eyes. Gabby opened her eyes, so I can tell you she knows we are here. She knows we love her. And she knows that we are rooting for her through what is undoubtedly going to be a difficult journey. We are there for her. 加比睁开了眼睛。加比睁开了眼睛，所以我可以告诉你们，她知道我们在这里。她知道我们爱她。她知道我们在她身边，支持她度过这段无疑将是艰难的旅程。我们与她同在。
Our hearts are full of thanks for that good news, and our hearts are full of gratitude for those who saved others. We are grateful to Daniel Hernandez -- a volunteer in Gabby's office. 我们的心充满感激，为这个好消息，我们的心充满感恩，为那些拯救他人的人。我们感谢丹尼尔·埃尔南德斯——加比办公室的一名志愿者。
And, Daniel, I'm sorry, you may deny it, but we've decided you are a hero because -- you ran through the chaos to minister to your boss, and tended to her wounds and helped keep her alive. 丹尼尔，我很抱歉，你可以否认，但我们认定你是一位英雄，因为——你在混乱中奔跑去照料你的上司，处理她的伤口，帮助维持她的生命。
We are grateful to the men who tackled the gunman as he stopped to reload. Right over there. We are grateful for petite Patricia Maisch, who wrestled away the killer's ammunition, and undoubtedly saved some lives. And we are grateful for the doctors and nurses and first responders who worked wonders to heal those who'd been hurt. We are grateful to them. 我们感谢那些在枪手停下来装弹时将他制服的人。就在那里。我们感谢娇小的帕特里夏·梅施，她夺走了杀手的弹药，无疑拯救了一些生命。我们感谢那些创造奇迹治愈伤者的医生、护士和急救人员。我们感谢他们。
These men and women remind us that heroism is found not only on the fields of battle. They remind us that heroism does not require special training or physical strength. Heroism is here, in the hearts of so many of our fellow citizens, all around us, just waiting to be summoned -- as it was on Saturday morning. Their actions, their selflessness poses a challenge to each of us. It raises a question of what, beyond prayers and expressions of concern, is required of us going forward. How can we honor the fallen? How can we be true to their memory? 这些男男女女提醒我们，英雄主义不仅存在于战场上。他们提醒我们，英雄主义不需要特殊训练或体魄。英雄主义就在这里，在我们众多同胞的心中，就在我们身边，只等待被召唤——就像星期六早晨那样。他们的行动，他们的无私，对我们每个人都是一个挑战。它提出了一个问题：除了祈祷和关切的表达，未来还需要我们做什么？我们如何向逝者致敬？我们如何忠实于他们的记忆？
You see, when a tragedy like this strikes, it is part of our nature to demand explanations -- to try and pose some order on the chaos and make sense out of that which seems senseless. Already we've seen a national conversation commence, not only about the motivations behind these killings, but about everything from the merits of gun safety laws to the adequacy of our mental health system. And much of this process, of debating what might be done to prevent such tragedies in the future, is an essential ingredient in our exercise of self-government. 你看，当这样的悲剧发生时，我们的天性是要求解释——试图在混乱中建立秩序，从看似毫无意义的事情中寻找意义。我们已经看到一场全国性的对话开始了，不仅是关于这些杀戮背后的动机，而且是关于从枪支安全法律的优劣到我们精神卫生系统的充分性等方方面面。在这个过程中，辩论可以做些什么来防止未来发生这样的悲剧，是我们行使自治的一个重要组成部分。
But at a time when our discourse has become so sharply polarized -- at a time when we are far too eager to lay the blame for all that ails the world at the feet of those who happen to think differently than we do -- it's important for us to pause for a moment and make sure that we're talking with each other in a way that heals, not in a way that wounds. 但在我们的言论变得如此尖锐对立的时候——在我们过于急于将世界上所有困扰的责任归咎于那些碰巧与我们想法不同的人的时候——重要的是我们暂停片刻，确保我们以一种治愈的方式彼此交谈，而不是以一种伤害的方式。
Scripture tells us that there is evil in the world, and that terrible things happen for reasons that defy human understanding. In the words of Job, "When I looked for light, then came darkness." Bad things happen, and we have to guard against simple explanations in the aftermath. 经文告诉我们，世界上存在邪恶，可怕的事情发生的原因超越人类的理解。用约伯的话说："我寻找光明，黑暗却降临。"坏事会发生，我们必须警惕事后的简单解释。
For the truth is none of us can know exactly what triggered this vicious attack. None of us can know with any certainty what might have stopped these shots from being fired, or what thoughts lurked in the inner recesses of a violent man's mind. 事实是，没有人能确切知道是什么触发了这次恶性攻击。没有人能确切知道什么可能阻止这些子弹被射出，或者什么想法潜伏在一个暴力男人内心的深处。
Yes, we have to examine all the facts behind this tragedy. We cannot and will not be passive in the face of such violence. We should be willing to challenge old assumptions in order to lessen the prospects of such violence in the future. But what we cannot do is use this tragedy as one more occasion to turn on each other. That we cannot do. That we cannot do. 是的，我们必须检查这场悲剧背后的所有事实。面对这样的暴力，我们不能也不会被动。我们应该愿意挑战旧有的假设，以减少未来发生此类暴力的可能性。但我们不能做的是利用这场悲剧作为又一次互相攻击的机会。我们不能那样做。我们不能那样做。
As we discuss these issues, let each of us do so with a good dose of humility. Rather than pointing fingers or assigning blame, let's use this occasion to expand our moral imaginations, to listen to each other more carefully, to sharpen our instincts for empathy and remind ourselves of all the ways that our hopes and dreams are bound together. 在我们讨论这些问题时，让我们每个人都带着一份谦逊。与其互相指责或追究责任，不如让我们利用这次机会扩展我们的道德想象力，更仔细地倾听彼此，增强我们的同理心，提醒我们自己我们的希望和梦想是如何紧密相连的。
After all, that's what most of us do when we lose somebody in our family -- especially if the loss is unexpected. We're shaken out of our routines. We're forced to look inward. We reflect on the past: Did we spend enough time with an aging parent, we wonder. Did we express our gratitude for all the sacrifices that they made for us? Did we tell a spouse just how desperately we loved them, not just once in a while but every single day? 毕竟，这就是我们大多数人在失去家人时所做的——尤其是当失去是突然的时候。我们被从日常生活中惊醒。我们被迫审视内心。我们反思过去：我们是否花了足够的时间陪伴年迈的父母，我们想知道。我们是否对他们为我们所做的一切牺牲表达了感激？我们是否告诉配偶我们是多么深爱他们，不是偶尔一次，而是每一天？
So sudden loss causes us to look backward -- but it also forces us to look forward; to reflect on the present and the future, on the manner in which we live our lives and nurture our relationships with those who are still with us. 突然的失去让我们回顾过去——但也迫使我们展望未来；反思现在和未来，反思我们如何生活，如何维系与仍然在我们身边的人的关系。
We may ask ourselves if we've shown enough kindness and generosity and compassion to the people in our lives. Perhaps we question whether we're doing right by our children, or our community, whether our priorities are in order. 我们可能会问自己，我们是否对生活中的人表现出了足够的善良、慷慨和同情。也许我们会质疑我们是否对子女、对社区做得对，我们的优先事项是否正确。
We recognize our own mortality, and we are reminded that in the fleeting time we have on this Earth, what matters is not wealth, or status, or power, or fame -- but rather, how well we have loved -- and what small part we have played in making the lives of other people better. 我们认识到自己的有限生命，也提醒自己，在地球上短暂的时光里，重要的不是财富、地位、权力或名声——而是我们如何去爱——以及我们在让他人生活变得更美好方面扮演了怎样微小的角色。
And that process -- that process of reflection, of making sure we align our values with our actions -- that, I believe, is what a tragedy like this requires. 而这个过程——这个反思的过程，确保我们的价值观与行动一致的过程——我相信，这就是这样的悲剧所要求的。
For those who were harmed, those who were killed -- they are part of our family, an American family 300 million strong. We may not have known them personally, but surely we see ourselves in them. In George and Dot, in Dorwan and Mavy, we sense the abiding love we have for our own husbands, our own wives, our own life partners. Phyllis -- she's our mom or our grandma; Gabe our brother or son. In Judge Roll, we recognize not only a man who prized his family and doing his job well, but also a man who embodied America's fidelity to the law. 那些受到伤害的人，那些遇难的人——他们是我们家庭的一部分，一个三亿人的美国家庭。我们可能不认识他们本人，但我们肯定能在他们身上看到自己。在乔治和多特身上，在多尔万和梅维身上，我们感受到我们对自己丈夫、妻子、终身伴侣的持久之爱。菲利斯——她是我们的母亲或祖母；加布是我们的兄弟或儿子。在罗尔法官身上，我们不仅看到了一个珍视家庭、做好本职工作的人，也看到了一个体现了美国对法律忠诚的人。
And in Gabby -- in Gabby, we see a reflection of our public-spiritedness; that desire to participate in that sometimes frustrating, sometimes contentious, but always necessary and never-ending process to form a more perfect union. 在加比身上——在加比身上，我们看到了我们公共精神的映射；那种参与有时令人沮丧、有时充满争议、但始终必要且永无止境的——形成更完美联邦的过程的愿望。
And in Christina -- in Christina we see all of our children. So curious, so trusting, so energetic, so full of magic. So deserving of our love. And so deserving of our good example. 在克里斯蒂娜身上——在克里斯蒂娜身上，我们看到了我们所有的孩子。如此好奇，如此信任，如此充满活力，如此充满魔力。如此值得我们去爱。如此值得我们树立好榜样。
If this tragedy prompts reflection and debate -- as it should -- let's make sure it's worthy of those we have lost. Let's make sure it's not on the usual plane of politics and point-scoring and pettiness that drifts away in the next news cycle. 如果这场悲剧引发了反思和辩论——它应该如此——让我们确保它配得上我们失去的人。让我们确保它不是停留在通常的政治层面、争分夺秒和琐碎小事上，而是在下一个新闻周期中消逝。
The loss of these wonderful people should make every one of us strive to be better. To be better in our private lives, to be better friends and neighbors and coworkers and parents. And if, as has been discussed in recent days, their death helps usher in more civility in our public discourse, let us remember it is not because a simple lack of civility caused this tragedy -- it did not -- but rather because only a more civil and honest public discourse can help us face up to the challenges of our nation in a way that would make them proud. 这些美好之人的离去应该激励我们每个人努力变得更好。在私人生活中变得更好，成为更好的朋友、邻居、同事和父母。如果正如最近几天所讨论的，他们的离世有助于在我们的公共话语中引入更多文明，让我们记住，这并不是因为简单的缺乏文明导致了这场悲剧——它没有——而是因为只有更文明、更诚实的公共话语才能帮助我们以让他们感到骄傲的方式面对国家的挑战。
We should be civil because we want to live up to the example of public servants like John Roll and Gabby Giffords, who knew first and foremost that we are all Americans, and that we can question each other's ideas without questioning each other's love of country and that our task, working together, is to constantly widen the circle of our concern so that we bequeath the American Dream to future generations. 我们应该文明，因为我们想要效仿像约翰·罗尔和加比·吉福兹这样的公仆榜样，他们首先知道我们都是美国人，我们可以质疑彼此的想法而不质疑彼此对国家的热爱，我们共同的任务是不断扩大我们的关怀圈，将美国梦传承给后代。
They believed -- they believed, and I believe that we can be better. Those who died here, those who saved life here -- they help me believe. We may not be able to stop all evil in the world, but I know that how we treat one another, that's entirely up to us. 他们相信——他们相信，而我相信我们可以变得更好。那些在这里遇难的人，那些在这里拯救生命的人——他们帮助我相信。我们也许无法阻止世界上所有的邪恶，但我知道我们如何对待彼此，这完全取决于我们自己。
And I believe that for all our imperfections, we are full of decency and goodness, and that the forces that divide us are not as strong as those that unite us. 我相信，尽管我们并不完美，但我们充满正直与善良，分裂我们的力量远不如团结我们的力量强大。
That's what I believe, in part because that's what a child like Christina Taylor Green believed. 这就是我所相信的，部分原因是像克里斯蒂娜·泰勒·格林这样的孩子也相信。
Imagine -- imagine for a moment, here was a young girl who was just becoming aware of our democracy; just beginning to understand the obligations of citizenship; just starting to glimpse the fact that some day she, too, might play a part in shaping her nation's future. She had been elected to her student council. She saw public service as something exciting and hopeful. 想象一下——想象一下，一个年轻女孩刚刚开始了解我们的民主；刚刚开始理解公民的义务；刚刚开始隐约看到有一天她也可能在塑造国家未来中发挥作用。她被选入了学生会。她将公共服务视为令人兴奋和充满希望的事情。
She was off to meet her congresswoman, someone she was sure was good and important and might be a role model. She saw all this through the eyes of a child, undimmed by the cynicism or vitriol that we adults all too often just take for granted. 她前去见她的女议员，一个她确信是善良而重要的人，可能成为榜样的人。她通过一个孩子的眼睛看待这一切，未被我们成年人太过习以为常的讽刺或刻薄所蒙蔽。
I want to live up to her expectations. I want our democracy to be as good as Christina imagined it. I want America to be as good as she imagined it. All of us -- we should do everything we can to make sure this country lives up to our children's expectations. 我想达到她的期望。我想让我们的民主像克里斯蒂娜想象的那样美好。我想让美国像她想象的那样美好。我们所有人——我们应该竭尽全力确保这个国家配得上我们孩子的期望。
As has already been mentioned, Christina was given to us on September 11th, 2001, one of 50 babies born that day to be pictured in a book called "Faces of Hope." On either side of her photo in that book were simple wishes for a child's life. "I hope you help those in need," read one. "I hope you know all the words to the National Anthem and sing it with your hand over your heart." "I hope you jump in rain puddles." 正如已经提到的，克里斯蒂娜在2001年9月11日来到我们身边，是当天出生的50个婴儿之一，被收录在一本名为《希望的面孔》的书中。在那本书中，她照片的两边是对孩子生活的简单祝愿。"我希望你帮助有需要的人"，一条写道。"我希望你知道国歌的所有歌词，并把手放在心上歌唱。""我希望你在雨后的水坑里跳跃。"
If there are rain puddles in Heaven, Christina is jumping in them today. And here on this Earth -- here on this Earth, we place our hands over our hearts, and we commit ourselves as Americans to forging a country that is forever worthy of her gentle, happy spirit. 如果天堂有雨水坑，克里斯蒂娜今天就在那里跳跃。而在这片土地上——在这片土地上，我们把手放在心上，我们作为美国人承诺打造一个永远配得上她温柔而快乐精神的国家。
May God bless and keep those we've lost in restful and eternal peace. 愿上帝保佑那些我们失去的人，让他们在安宁与永恒的和平中安息。
May He love and watch over the survivors. 愿他爱护和守护幸存者。
And may He bless the United States of America. 愿他保佑美利坚合众国。
