Thank you for convening this meeting to address a task that must be the work of all of us -- supporting the people of Libya as they build a future that is free and democratic and prosperous. And I want to thank President Jalil for his remarks and for all that he and Prime Minister Jibril have done to help Libya reach this moment. 感谢各位召集此次会议，来共同应对一项必须由我们所有人协力完成的任务——支持利比亚人民建设一个自由、民主、繁荣的未来。我也要感谢贾利勒总统的发言，感谢他和吉布里勒总理为帮助利比亚走到今天这一刻所做的一切。
To all the heads of state, to all the countries represented here who have done so much over the past several months to ensure this day could come, I want to say thank you, as well. 对所有在座的国家元首，对所有在过去数月里付出巨大努力以确保这一天到来的所有国家，我也要说一声谢谢。
Today, the Libyan people are writing a new chapter in the life of their nation. After four decades of darkness, they can walk the streets, free from a tyrant. They are making their voices heard -- in new newspapers, and on radio and television, in public squares and on personal blogs. They're launching political parties and civil groups to shape their own destiny and secure their universal rights. And here at the United Nations, the new flag of a free Libya now flies among the community of nations. 今天，利比亚人民正在书写本国历史的新篇章。经过四十年的黑暗统治，他们可以走上街头，不再受暴君的压迫。他们正在让自己的声音被听见——通过新的报纸、广播和电视，在公共广场和个人博客上。他们正在组建政党和民间团体，以塑造自身命运，争取应得的普遍权利。而在联合国这里，自由利比亚的新旗帜已在各国大家庭中升起。
Make no mistake -- credit for the liberation of Libya belongs to the people of Libya. It was Libyan men and women -- and children -- who took to the streets in peaceful protest, who faced down the tanks and endured the snipers' bullets. It was Libyan fighters, often outgunned and outnumbered, who fought pitched battles, town-by-town, block-by-block. It was Libyan activists -- in the underground, in chat rooms, in mosques -- who kept a revolution alive, even after some of the world had given up hope. 不要弄错——利比亚解放的功劳属于利比亚人民。正是利比亚的男女老少走上街头和平抗议，直面坦克，忍受狙击手的子弹。正是利比亚战士，常常在火力不足、人数处于劣势的情况下，逐镇、逐街区地展开激战。正是利比亚的活动人士——在地下组织中，在聊天室里，在清真寺内——让一场革命得以延续，即使世界某些角落已经放弃了希望。
It was Libyan women and girls who hung flags and smuggled weapons to the front. It was Libyans from countries around the world, including my own, who rushed home to help, even though they, too, risked brutality and death. It was Libyan blood that was spilled and Libya's sons and daughters who gave their lives. And on that August day -- after all that sacrifice, after 42 long years -- it was Libyans who pushed their dictator from power. 正是利比亚的妇女和女孩悬挂旗帜、向前线走私武器。正是来自世界各国的利比亚人，包括我自己的国家，冒着遭受暴力和死亡的危险赶回故乡提供帮助。流下的是利比亚人的鲜血，献出生命的是利比亚的儿女。在那个八月的日子里——经过所有牺牲，经过漫长的四十二年——正是利比亚人自己推翻了独裁者的统治。
At the same time, Libya is a lesson in what the international community can achieve when we stand together as one. I said at the beginning of this process, we cannot and should not intervene every time there is an injustice in the world. Yet it's also true that there are times where the world could have and should have summoned the will to prevent the killing of innocents on a horrific scale. And we are forever haunted by the atrocities that we did not prevent, and the lives that we did not save. But this time was different. 与此同时，利比亚也是一堂课，告诉我们国际社会团结一致时能取得怎样的成就。我在这一过程开始时曾说过，我们不能也不应该在世界上每次出现不公正时都进行干预。然而同样真实的是，有些时候世界本可以也本应该鼓起勇气，阻止大规模屠杀无辜平民。那些我们未能阻止的暴行、未能拯救的生命，将永远困扰着我们。但这一次不同了。
This time, we, through the United Nations, found the courage and the collective will to act. 这一次，我们通过联合国，找到了行动的勇气和集体意愿。
When the old regime unleashed a campaign of terror, threatening to roll back the democratic tide sweeping the region, we acted as united nations, and we acted swiftly -- broadening sanctions, imposing an arms embargo. The United States led the effort to pass a historic resolution at the Security Council authorizing "all necessary measures" to protect the Libyan people. And when the civilians of Benghazi were threatened with a massacre, we exercised that authority. 当旧政权发动恐怖运动，威胁要逆转席卷该地区的民主浪潮时，我们以联合国的身份行动，并迅速采取行动——扩大制裁，实施武器禁运。美国主导了安理会一项历史性决议的通过，授权采取"一切必要措施"保护利比亚人民。当班加西的平民面临屠杀威胁时，我们行使了这一授权。
Our international coalition stopped the regime in its tracks, and saved countless lives, and gave the Libyan people the time and the space to prevail. 我们的国际联盟阻止了旧政权的推进，拯救了无数生命，为利比亚人民争取到了取得胜利所需的时间和空间。
Important, too, is how this effort succeeded -- thanks to the leadership and contributions of many countries. The United States was proud to play a decisive role, especially in the early days, and then in a supporting capacity. But let's remember that it was the Arab League that appealed for action. It was the world's most effective alliance, NATO, that's led a military coalition of nearly 20 nations. It's our European allies -- especially the United Kingdom and France and Denmark and Norway -- that conducted the vast majority of air strikes protecting rebels on the ground. 同样重要的是这一努力如何取得成功——这得益于许多国家的领导和贡献。美国自豪地发挥了决定性作用，特别是在初期阶段，随后以支援角色参与。但让我们记住，是阿拉伯国家联盟呼吁采取行动。是世界上最有效的联盟——北约——领导了近二十个国家组成的军事联盟。是我们的欧洲盟友——尤其是英国、法国、丹麦和挪威——执行了绝大多数的空袭行动，保护了地面上的反抗武装。
It was Arab states who joined the coalition, as equal partners. And it's been the United Nations and neighboring countries -- including Tunisia and Egypt -- that have cared for the Libyans in the urgent humanitarian effort that continues today. 是阿拉伯国家作为平等伙伴加入了联盟。而正是联合国和邻国——包括突尼斯和埃及——在紧急人道主义援助中照顾利比亚人，这一努力至今仍在继续。
This is how the international community should work in the 21st century -- more nations bearing the responsibility and the costs of meeting global challenges. In fact, this is the very purpose of this United Nations. So every nation represented here today can take pride in the innocent lives we saved and in helping Libyans reclaim their country. It was the right thing to do. 这就是国际社会在二十一世纪应有的运作方式——更多国家共同承担责任和费用，应对全球性挑战。事实上，这正是联合国存在的根本意义。因此，今天在座的每个国家都可以为拯救的无辜生命、为帮助利比亚人收复自己的国家而感到自豪。这是做了一件正确的事。
Now, even as we speak, remnants of the old regime continue to fight. Difficult days are still ahead. But one thing is clear -- the future of Libya is now in the hands of the Libyan people. For just as it was Libyans who tore down the old order, it will be Libyans who build their new nation. And we've come here today to say to the people of Libya -- just as the world stood by you in your struggle to be free, we will now stand with you in your struggle to realize the peace and prosperity that freedom can bring. 现在，就在我们说话的此刻，旧政权的残余势力仍在顽抗。前方仍有艰难的日子。但有一点是明确的——利比亚的未来如今掌握在利比亚人民手中。正如推翻旧秩序的是利比亚人自己，建设新国家的也将是利比亚人。我们今天来到这里，是要对利比亚人民说——正如世界在你们争取自由的斗争中与你们站在一起，我们现在也将在你们为实现自由所能带来的和平与繁荣的奋斗中与你们并肩同行。
In this effort, you will have a friend and partner in the United States of America. Today, I can announce that our ambassador is on his way back to Tripoli. And this week, the American flag that was lowered before our embassy was attacked will be raised again, over a re-opened American embassy. We will work closely with the new U.N. Support Mission in Libya and with the nations here today to assist the Libyan people in the hard work ahead. 在这项努力中，你们将拥有美利坚合众国这个朋友和伙伴。今天，我可以宣布，我国大使正在返回的黎波里的途中。本周，在我国使馆遇袭前降下的美国国旗将重新升起，飘扬在重新开放的美国大使馆上空。我们将与新的联合国利比亚支助特派团以及今天在座的各国密切合作，协助利比亚人民完成前方艰巨的工作。
First, and most immediately: security. So long as the Libyan people are being threatened, the NATO-led mission to protect them will continue. And those still holding out must understand -- the old regime is over, and it is time to lay down your arms and join the new Libya. As this happens, the world must also support efforts to secure dangerous weapons -- conventional and otherwise -- and bring fighters under central, civilian control. For without security, democracy and trade and investment cannot flourish. 第一，也是最紧迫的：安全。只要利比亚人民仍受到威胁，北约领导的保护行动就会继续。那些仍在顽抗的人必须明白——旧政权已经覆灭，是时候放下武器，加入新的利比亚了。与此同时，世界还必须支持努力确保危险武器——无论是常规武器还是其他武器——的安全，并将战斗人员纳入中央文官控制之下。因为没有安全，民主、贸易和投资就无法蓬勃发展。
Second: the humanitarian effort. The Transitional National Council has been working quickly to restore water and electricity and food supplies to Tripoli. But for many Libyans, each day is still a struggle -- to recover from their wounds, reunite with their families, and return to their homes. And even after the guns of war fall silent, the ravages of war will continue. So our efforts to assist its victims must continue. In this, the United States -- the United Nations will play a key role. And along with our partners, the United States will do our part to help the hungry and the wounded. 第二：人道主义援助。过渡时期全国委员会一直在迅速行动，恢复的黎波里的供水、供电和食品供应。但对许多利比亚人来说，每一天仍是艰难的挣扎——养伤、与家人团聚、返回家园。即使战争的枪炮声平息，战争的创伤仍将持续。因此，我们援助受害者的努力必须继续。在这方面，联合国将发挥关键作用。与我们的伙伴一道，美国也将尽自己的一份力量，帮助饥饿和受伤的人们。
Third: a democratic transition that is peaceful, inclusive and just. President Jalil has just reaffirmed the Transitional National Council's commitment to these principles, and the United Nations will play a central role in coordinating international support for this effort. We all know what is needed -- a transition that is timely, new laws and a constitution that uphold the rule of law, political parties and a strong civil society, and, for the first time in Libyan history, free and fair elections. 第三：和平、包容且公正的民主过渡。贾利勒总统刚刚重申了过渡时期全国委员会对这些原则的承诺，联合国将在协调国际社会对此努力的支持方面发挥核心作用。我们都知道需要什么——及时的过渡、维护法治的新法律和宪法、政党和强大的公民社会，以及利比亚历史上首次自由公正的选举。
True democracy, however, must flow from its citizens. So as Libyans rightly seek justice for past crimes, let it be done in a spirit of reconciliation, and not reprisals and violence. As Libyans draw strength from their faith -- a religion rooted in peace and tolerance -- let there be a rejection of violent extremism, which offers nothing but death and destruction. As Libyans rebuild, let those efforts tap the experience of all those with the skills to contribute, including the many Africans in Libya. 然而，真正的民主必须源于公民自身。因此，当利比亚人理所当然地为过去的罪行寻求正义时，让它以和解而非报复和暴力的精神来实现。当利比亚人从信仰中汲取力量——一种根植于和平与宽容的宗教——让暴力极端主义遭到拒绝，因为它带来的只有死亡和毁灭。当利比亚人重建家园时，让这些努力利用所有有能力贡献者的经验，包括在利比亚的众多非洲人。
And as Libyans forge a society that is truly just, let it enshrine the rights and role of women at all levels of society. For we know that the nations that uphold the human rights of all people, especially their women, are ultimately more successful and more prosperous. 当利比亚人打造一个真正公正的社会时，让它在社会的各个层面保障妇女的权利和角色。因为我们知道，维护所有人、特别是妇女人权的国家，最终会更加成功、更加繁荣。
Which brings me to the final area where the world must stand with Libya, and that is restoring prosperity. For too long, Libya's vast riches were stolen and squandered. Now that wealth must serve its rightful owners -- the Libyan people. As sanctions are lifted, as the United States and the international community unfreeze more Libyan assets, and as the country's oil production is restored, the Libyan people deserve a government that is transparent and accountable. 这引出了世界必须与利比亚站在一起的最后一个领域，那就是恢复繁荣。长久以来，利比亚的巨额财富被盗取和挥霍。现在，这些财富必须服务于它真正的主人——利比亚人民。随着制裁解除，随着美国和国际社会解冻更多利比亚资产，随着该国石油生产恢复，利比亚人民理应拥有一个透明且负责任的政府。
And bound by the Libyan students and entrepreneurs who have forged friendships in the United States, we intend to build new partnerships to help unleash Libya's extraordinary potential. 而在利比亚留学生和企业家在美国建立的友谊纽带的牵引下，我们打算建立新的伙伴关系，帮助释放利比亚非凡的潜力。
Now, none of this will be easy. After decades of iron rule by one man, it will take time to build the institutions needed for a democratic Libya. I'm sure there will be days of frustration; there will be days when progress is slow; there will be days when some begin to wish for the old order and its illusion of stability. And some in the world may ask, can Libya succeed? But if we have learned anything these many months, it is this: Don't underestimate the aspirations and the will of the Libyan people. 这一切都不会轻而易举。在一个人铁腕统治数十年之后，建立民主利比亚所需的制度需要时间。我确信会有令人沮丧的日子；会有进展缓慢的日子；会有人开始怀念旧秩序及其稳定幻象的日子。世界上一些人可能会问，利比亚能成功吗？但如果这许多个月来我们学到了什么，那就是：不要低估利比亚人民的愿望和意志。
So I want to conclude by speaking directly to the people of Libya. Your task may be new, the journey ahead may be fraught with difficulty, but everything you need to build your future already beats in the heart of your nation. It's the same courage you summoned on that first February day; the same resilience that brought you back out the next day and the next, even as you lost family and friends; and the same unshakeable determination with which you liberated Benghazi, broke the siege of Misurata, and have fought through the coastal plain and the western mountains. 因此，我想直接对利比亚人民说几句话来结束发言。你们的任务也许是新的，前方的旅程也许充满困难，但建设未来所需的一切，已在你们国家的心跳中搏动。那是你们在二月的第一天鼓起的勇气；是让你们在失去亲人和朋友的情况下，第二天、第三天仍重新走上街头的韧性；是你们解放班加西、突破米苏拉塔围困、穿越沿海平原和西部山区战斗的不可动摇的决心。
It's the same unwavering conviction that said, there's no turning back; our sons and daughters deserve to be free. 是同样坚定的信念在说，没有回头路可走；我们的儿女理应获得自由。
In the days after Tripoli fell, people rejoiced in the streets and pondered the role ahead, and one of those Libyans said, "We have this chance now to do something good for our country, a chance we have dreamed of for so long." So, to the Libyan people, this is your chance. And today the world is saying, with one unmistakable voice, we will stand with you as you seize this moment of promise, as you reach for the freedom, the dignity, and the opportunity that you deserve. 的黎波里陷落后的日子里，人们在街头欢庆，思考着前方的角色，一位利比亚人说道："我们现在有了这个机会，可以为我们的国家做些好事，这是我们已经梦想了那么久的机会。"所以，对利比亚人民说，这就是你们的机会。今天，世界正以一种毫不含糊的声音说，当你们抓住这一充满希望的时刻，当你们争取你们应得的自由、尊严和机遇时，我们将与你们站在一起。
So, congratulations. And thank you very much. 那么，祝贺你们。非常感谢。
