Mr. Vice President, Madam Speaker, Mr. Prime Minister, members of Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha, and most of all, the people of India. 副总统先生、议长女士、总理先生、人民院和联邦院的各位议员，以及最重要的——印度人民。
I thank you for the great honor of addressing the representatives of more than one billion Indians and the world's largest democracy. I bring the greetings and friendship of the world's oldest democracy -- the United States of America, including nearly three million proud and patriotic Indian-Americans. 我感谢你们给予我这份莫大荣誉，让我能向十亿多印度人民的代表、向世界上最大的民主国家发表演讲。我带来了世界上最古老的民主国家——美利坚合众国的问候和友谊，也带来了近三百万自豪而爱国的印度裔美国人的问候和友谊。
Over the past three days, my wife Michelle and I have experienced the -- and dynamism of India and its people -- from the majesty of Humayun's Tomb to the advanced technologies that are empowering farmers and women who are the backbone of Indian society; from the Diwali celebrations with schoolchildren to the innovators who are fueling India's economic rise; from the university students who will chart India's future, to you -- leaders who helped to bring India to this moment of extraordinary promise. 在过去的三天里，我和妻子米歇尔亲身感受了印度及其人民的蓬勃活力——从宏伟的胡马雍陵，到为农民和作为印度社会中坚力量的妇女赋能的先进技术；从与学童共庆排灯节，到推动印度经济崛起的创新者；从将绘就印度未来的大学生，到你们——帮助印度迎来这个充满非凡希望时刻的各位领导人。
At every stop, we have been welcomed with the hospitality for which Indians have always been known. So, to you and the people of India, on behalf of me, Michelle and the American people, please accept my deepest thanks. Bahoot dhanyavad. 在每一站，我们都受到了印度人一直闻名的热情好客的欢迎。因此，我谨代表我和米歇尔以及美国人民，向你们和印度人民致以最诚挚的感谢。Bahoot dhanyavad（非常感谢）。
Now, I am not the first American President to visit India. Nor will I be the last. But I am proud to visit India so early in my presidency. It's no coincidence that India is my first stop on a visit to Asia, or that this has been my longest visit to another country since becoming President. For in Asia and around the world, India is not simply emerging; India has emerged. 我并非第一位访问印度的美国总统，也不会是最后一位。但我为能在总统任期如此早期就访问印度而感到自豪。印度是我亚洲之行的第一站，这绝非巧合；这是我担任总统以来对另一个国家进行的最长访问，也非偶然。因为在亚洲乃至全世界，印度不仅仅正在崛起；印度已经崛起。
And it is my firm belief that the relationship between the United States and India -- bound by our shared interests and our shared values -- will be one of the defining partnerships of the 21st century. This is the partnership I've come here to build. This is the vision that our nations can realize together. 我坚信，美国与印度之间的关系——由我们共同的利益和共同的价值观所维系——将成为21世纪最具决定性的伙伴关系之一。这就是我此行要建立的伙伴关系。这就是我们两国可以共同实现的愿景。
My confidence in our shared future is grounded in my respect for India's treasured past -- a civilization that's been shaping the world for thousands of years. Indians unlocked the intricacies of the human body and the vastness of our universe. It's no exaggeration to say that our Information Age is rooted in Indian innovations -- including the number zero. 我对我们共同未来的信心，植根于我对印度珍贵历史的敬意——这个文明数千年来一直塑造着世界。印度人揭示了人体的奥秘，探索了浩瀚的宇宙。毫不夸张地说，我们的信息时代植根于印度的创新——其中就包括数字零。
Of course, India not only opened our minds, she expanded our moral imaginations -- with religious texts that still summon the faithful to lives of dignity and discipline, with poets who imagined a future "where the mind is without fear and the head is held high" -- and with a man whose message of love and justice endures -- the father of your nation, Mahatma Gandhi. 当然，印度不仅启迪了我们的心智，也拓展了我们的道德想象——这里有至今仍召唤信徒过有尊严、有自律生活的宗教典籍，有憧憬“心无畏惧、昂首向前”之未来的诗人，还有一位其爱与正义的理念流传至今的人——你们的国父圣雄甘地。
For me and Michelle, this visit has, therefore, held special meaning. See, throughout my life, including my work as a young man on behalf of the urban poor, I've always found inspiration in the life of Gandhiji and his simple and profound lesson to be the change we seek in the world. And just as he summoned Indians to seek their destiny, he influenced champions of equality in my own country, including a young preacher named Martin Luther King. 因此，对我和米歇尔而言，这次访问有着特殊意义。纵观我的一生，包括年轻时为城市贫民服务的那段岁月，我始终从甘地的人生以及他那条简单而深刻的教诲中汲取灵感——以自身行动成为我们希望在世界上看到的改变。正如他号召印度人掌握自己的命运一样，他也影响了我国争取平等的斗士，其中包括一位名叫马丁·路德·金的年轻牧师。
After making his pilgrimage to India a half-century ago, Dr. King called Gandhi's philosophy of non-violent resistance "the only logical and moral approach" in the struggle for justice and progress. 半个世纪前，金博士怀着朝圣之心访问印度。此后，他称甘地的非暴力抵抗哲学是争取正义与进步的斗争中“唯一合乎逻辑、合乎道德的道路”。
So we were honored to visit the residence where Gandhi and King both stayed -- Mani Bhavan. And we were humbled to pay our respects at Raj Ghat. And I am mindful that I might not be standing before you today, as President of the United States, had it not been for Gandhi and the message he shared and inspired with America and the world. 我们有幸参观了甘地和金博士都曾下榻的马尼·巴万，也满怀敬意地前往拉杰加特致敬。我清楚地意识到，如果没有甘地，没有他向美国和世界传递并激发回响的理念，我今天或许不会以美国总统的身份站在你们面前。
An ancient civilization of science and innovation; a fundamental faith in human progress -- this is the sturdy foundation upon which you have built ever since that stroke of midnight when the tricolor was raised over a free and independent India. And despite the skeptics who said this country was simply too poor, or too vast, or too diverse to succeed, you surmounted overwhelming odds and became a model to the world. 一个拥有科学与创新传统的古老文明，一种对人类进步的坚定信念——这就是你们建设国家的坚实基础。从午夜钟声敲响、三色旗在自由独立的印度上空升起的那一刻起，你们便在这一基础上不断前行。尽管怀疑者断言这个国家太贫穷、太辽阔、太多元，不可能取得成功，但你们克服了看似不可逾越的困难，成为世界的典范。
Instead of slipping into starvation, you launched a Green Revolution that fed millions. Instead of becoming dependent on commodities and exports, you invested in science and technology and in your greatest resource -- the Indian people. And the world sees the results, from the supercomputers you build to the Indian flag that you put on the moon. 你们没有滑入饥荒，而是发动了一场养活数百万人的绿色革命。你们没有依赖大宗商品出口，而是投资科学技术，投资于你们最宝贵的资源——印度人民。全世界都看到了成果，从你们制造的超级计算机，到你们送上月球的印度国旗。
Instead of resisting the global economy, you became one of its engines -- reforming the licensing raj and unleashing an economic marvel that has lifted tens of millions of people from poverty and created one of the world's largest middle classes. 你们没有抗拒全球经济，而是成为其中一台引擎——改革“许可证统治”体制，释放出惊人的经济活力，使数千万人摆脱贫困，并造就了世界上规模最大的中产阶级群体之一。
Instead of succumbing to division, you have shown that the strength of India -- the very idea of India -- is its embrace of all colors, all castes, all creeds. It's the diversity represented in this chamber today. It's the richness of faiths celebrated by a visitor to my hometown of Chicago more than a century ago -- the renowned Swami Vivekananda. He said that, "holiness, purity and charity are not the exclusive possessions of any church in the world, and that every system has produced men and women of the most exalted character." 你们没有屈服于分裂，而是展示了印度的力量——印度的本质——在于它对所有肤色、所有种姓、所有信仰的包容。这就是今天在这个议院中体现的多样性。这就是一个多世纪前造访我家乡芝加哥的著名斯瓦米·维韦卡南达所赞颂的信仰丰富性。他说："圣洁、纯洁和慈善并非世界上任何教会的专利，每种制度都培养出了品格最高尚的男男女女。"
And instead of being lured by the false notion that progress must come at the expense of freedom, you built the institutions upon which true democracy depends -- free and fair elections, which enable citizens to choose their own leaders without recourse to arms -- an independent judiciary and the rule of law, which allows people to address their grievances; and a thriving free press and vibrant civil society which allows every voice to be heard. 你们没有被进步必须以牺牲自由为代价的错误观念所诱惑，而是建立了真正的民主所依赖的制度——自由公正的选举，使公民无需诉诸武力就能选择自己的领导人；独立的司法和法治，让人们可以表达诉求；以及蓬勃发展的自由媒体和充满活力的公民社会，让每一个声音都能被听到。
This year, as India marks 60 years with a strong and democratic constitution, the lesson is clear: India has succeeded, not in spite of democracy; India has succeeded because of democracy. 今年，在印度纪念其稳固的民主宪法施行60周年之际，道理十分清楚：民主非但没有妨碍印度取得成功，反而正是印度成功的原因。
Now, just as India has changed, so, too, has the relationship between our two nations. In the decades after independence, India advanced its interests as a proud leader of the nonaligned movement. Yet, too often, the United States and India found ourselves on opposite sides of a North-South divide, estranged by a long Cold War. Those days are over. 正如印度已经改变，我们两国的关系也发生了变化。独立后的几十年里，印度作为不结盟运动引以为豪的领导者维护自身利益。然而，美国和印度却常常处在全球南北分歧的对立面，又因漫长的冷战而彼此疏远。那样的日子已经结束了。
Here in India, two successive governments led by different parties have recognized that deeper partnership with America is both natural and necessary. And in the United States, both of my predecessors -- one a Democrat, one a Republican -- worked to bring us closer, leading to increased trade and a landmark civil nuclear agreement. 在印度，先后由两个不同政党领导的政府都认识到，深化与美国的伙伴关系既自然又必要。在美国，我的两位前任——一位民主党人、一位共和党人——都努力拉近两国关系，促成了贸易增长和具有里程碑意义的民用核能协议。
So since that time, people in both our countries have asked: What's next? How can we build on this progress and realize the full potential of our partnership? That's what I want to address today -- the future that the United States seeks in an interconnected world, and why I believe that India is indispensable to this vision; how we can forge a truly global partnership -- not just in one or two areas, but across many; not just for our mutual benefit, but for the benefit of the world. 自那时以来，我们两国人民都在问：下一步是什么？我们如何才能在这一进展的基础上继续前行，实现伙伴关系的全部潜力？这正是我今天想要阐述的——美国在相互联系的世界中寻求的未来，以及为什么我认为印度对这一愿景不可或缺；我们如何建立一个真正的全球伙伴关系——不仅在一两个领域，而是跨越多个领域；不仅为了我们的互利，而且为了世界的利益。
Of course, only Indians can determine India's national interests and how to advance them on the world stage. But I stand before you today because I am convinced that the interests of the United States -- and the interests we share with India -- are best advanced in partnership. I believe that. 当然，只有印度人能够决定印度的国家利益以及如何在世界舞台上推进这些利益。但我今天站在你们面前，是因为我深信，美国的利益——以及我们与印度共享的利益——在伙伴关系中才能得到最好的推进。我坚信这一点。
The United States seeks security -- the security of our country, our allies and partners. We seek prosperity -- a strong and growing economy in an open international economic system. We seek respect for universal values. And we seek a just and sustainable international order that promotes peace and security by meeting global challenges through stronger global cooperation. 美国寻求安全——我们国家、盟友和伙伴的安全。我们寻求繁荣——在开放的国际经济体系中强大而持续增长的经济。我们寻求对普世价值的尊重。我们寻求一个公正和可持续的国际秩序，通过更强有力的全球合作应对全球挑战，促进和平与安全。
Now, to advance these interests, I have committed the United States to comprehensive engagement with the world, based on mutual interest and mutual respect. And a central pillar of this engagement is forging deeper cooperation with 21st century centers of influence -- and that must necessarily include India. 为了推进这些利益，我已承诺美国与世界进行全面接触，基于互利和相互尊重。这一接触的核心支柱是与21世纪影响力中心建立更深入的合作——这必然包括印度。
Now, India is not the only emerging power in the world. But relationships between our countries is unique. For we are two strong democracies whose constitutions begin with the same revolutionary words -- the same revolutionary words -- "We the people." We are two great republics dedicated to the liberty and justice and equality of all people. And we are two free market economies where people have the freedom to pursue ideas and innovation that can change the world. And that's why I believe that India and America are indispensable partners in meeting the challenges of our time. 印度并非世界上唯一的新兴大国，但我们两国的关系却独一无二。因为我们是两个强大的民主国家，我们的宪法都以同一句革命性的话开篇——同一句革命性的话——“我们人民”。我们是两个致力于保障所有人自由、正义与平等的伟大共和国。我们也是两个自由市场经济体，人民可以自由追求足以改变世界的思想与创新。正因如此，我相信印度和美国是应对时代挑战不可或缺的伙伴。
Since taking office, I've, therefore, made our relationship a priority. I was proud to welcome Prime Minister Singh for the first official state visit of my presidency. For the first time ever, our governments are working together across the whole range of common challenges that we face. Now, let me say it as clearly as I can: The United States not only welcomes India as a rising global power, we fervently support it, and we have worked to help make it a reality. 因此，自上任以来，我始终把两国关系置于优先位置。我很荣幸地接待辛格总理进行我总统任内的首次国事访问。两国政府有史以来第一次就我们面对的全部共同挑战展开合作。现在，请允许我把话说得再清楚不过：美国不仅欢迎印度崛起为全球大国，而且热切支持印度，并一直努力帮助这一愿景成为现实。
Together with our partners, we have made the G20 the premier forum for international economic cooperation, bringing more voices to the table of global economic decision-making, and that has included India. We've increased the role of emerging economies like India at international financial institutions. We valued India's important role at Copenhagen, where, for the first time, all major economies committed to take action to confront climate change -- and to stand by those actions. 我们同各方伙伴一道，使二十国集团成为国际经济合作的首要论坛，让包括印度在内的更多声音参与全球经济决策。我们提升了印度等新兴经济体在国际金融机构中的作用。我们重视印度在哥本哈根发挥的重要作用；在那里，所有主要经济体首次承诺采取行动应对气候变化，并切实履行这些承诺。
We salute India's long history as a leading contributor to United Nations peacekeeping missions. And we welcome India as it prepares to take its seat on the United Nations Security Council. 我们赞扬印度长期以来作为联合国维和行动主要贡献国所作的贡献。我们欢迎印度即将在联合国安理会就任理事国。
In short, with India assuming its rightful place in the world, we have an historic opportunity to make the relationship between our two countries a defining partnership of the century ahead. And I believe we can do so by working together in three important areas. 简而言之，随着印度在世界上取得其应有地位，我们迎来了一个历史性机遇，可以使两国关系成为未来一个世纪具有决定性意义的伙伴关系。我相信，通过在三个重要领域携手合作，我们能够实现这一目标。
First, as global partners we can promote prosperity in both our countries. Together, we can create the high-tech, high-wage jobs of the future. With my visit, we are now ready to begin implementing our civil nuclear agreement. This will help meet India's growing energy needs and create thousands of jobs in both of our countries. 首先，作为全球伙伴，我们可以促进两国共同繁荣。我们可以携手创造面向未来的高科技、高薪就业岗位。借此访问之机，我们已准备开始落实民用核能协议。这将有助于满足印度不断增长的能源需求，并在两国创造数千个就业机会。
We need to forge partnerships in high-tech sectors like defense and civil space. So we've removed Indian organizations from our so-called "entity list." And we'll work to remove -- and reform our controls on exports. Both of these steps will ensure that Indian companies seeking high-tech trade and technologies from America are treated the same as our very closest allies and partners. 我们需要在国防和民用航天等高科技领域建立伙伴关系。因此，我们已把印度机构从所谓的“实体清单”中移除，并将着手取消部分限制、改革出口管制。这两项举措将确保希望同美国开展高科技贸易、获取美国技术的印度企业，得到与我们最亲密盟友和伙伴相同的待遇。
We can pursue joint research and development to create green jobs; give India more access to cleaner, affordable energy; meet the commitments we made at Copenhagen; and show the possibilities of low-carbon growth. 我们可以开展联合研发以创造绿色就业机会；让印度获得更多清洁、可负担的能源；履行我们在哥本哈根做出的承诺；展示低碳增长的可能性。
And together, we can resist the protectionism that stifles growth and innovation. The United States remains -- and will continue to remain -- one of the most open economies in the world. And by opening markets and reducing barriers to foreign investment, India can realize its full economic potential as well. As G20 partners, we can make sure the global economic recovery is strong and is durable. And we can keep striving for a Doha Round that is ambitious and is balanced -- with the courage to make the compromises that are necessary so global trade works for all economies. 我们可以共同抵制扼杀增长和创新的保护主义。美国仍然是——并将继续是——世界上最开放的经济体之一。通过开放市场和减少外国投资壁垒，印度也可以充分发挥其经济潜力。作为二十国集团伙伴，我们可以确保全球经济复苏强劲而持久。我们可以继续为一个雄心勃勃和平衡的多哈回合而努力——有勇气做出必要的妥协，使全球贸易惠及所有经济体。
Together, we can strengthen agriculture. Cooperation between Indian and American researchers and scientists sparked the Green Revolution. Today, India is a leader in using technology to empower farmers, like those I met yesterday who get free updates on market and weather conditions on their cell phones. And the United States is a leader in agricultural productivity and research. Now, as farmers and rural areas face the effects of climate change and drought, we'll work together to spark a second, more sustainable Evergreen Revolution. 我们可以共同加强农业。印度和美国研究人员、科学家之间的合作推动了绿色革命。如今，印度在运用技术帮助农民方面处于领先地位，比如我昨天遇到的那些通过手机免费获取市场和天气信息的农民。美国则在农业生产率和农业研究方面处于领先地位。面对气候变化和干旱给农民及农村地区带来的影响，我们将携手推动第二次更加可持续的“常绿革命”。
Together, we're improving Indian weather forecasting systems before the next monsoon season. We aim to help millions of Indian farmers -- farming households save water and increase productivity, improve food processing so crops don't spoil on the way to market, and enhance climate and crop forecasting to avoid losses that cripple communities and drive up food prices. 我们正携手改进印度的天气预报系统，力争在下一个季风季到来前完成。我们的目标是帮助数百万印度农户节约用水、提高生产率，改进食品加工以防农产品在运往市场途中腐坏，并加强气候和作物预测，避免损失重创社区、推高食品价格。
And as part of our food security initiative, we're going to share India's expertise with farmers in Africa. And this is an indication of India's rise -- that we can now export hard-earned expertise to countries that see India as a model for agricultural development. It's another powerful example of how American and Indian partnership can address an urgent global challenge. 作为粮食安全倡议的一部分，我们将与非洲农民分享印度的专业经验。这正是印度崛起的一个标志——我们如今可以把来之不易的经验带给那些将印度视为农业发展典范的国家。这也是美印伙伴关系能够应对紧迫全球挑战的又一有力例证。
Because the wealth of a nation also depends on the health of its people, we'll continue to support India's effort against diseases like tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS, and as global partners, we'll work to improve global health by preventing the spread of pandemic flu. And because knowledge is the currency of the 21st century, we will increase exchanges between our students, our colleges and our universities, which are among the best in the world. 一个国家的富足也取决于人民的健康，因此，我们将继续支持印度抗击结核病和艾滋病等疾病。作为全球伙伴，我们将通过防止流感大流行蔓延来改善全球卫生。知识是21世纪的通货，因此，我们将扩大两国学生以及高校之间的交流；我们两国的高校都位居世界一流之列。
As we work to advance our shared prosperity, we can partner to address a second priority -- and that is our shared security. In Mumbai, I met with the courageous families and survivors of that barbaric attack. And here in Parliament, which was itself targeted because of the democracy it represents, we honor the memory of all those who have been taken from us, including American citizens on 26/11 and Indian citizens on 9/11. 在努力促进共同繁荣的同时，我们还可以携手应对第二项优先事务——共同安全。在孟买，我会见了那场野蛮袭击中勇敢的遇难者家属和幸存者。印度议会本身也曾因为它所代表的民主制度而成为袭击目标；此刻在这里，我们缅怀所有被夺去生命的人，其中包括“11·26”袭击中的美国公民和“9·11”袭击中的印度公民。
This is the bond that we share. It's why we insist that nothing ever justifies the slaughter of innocent men, women and children. It's why we're working together, more closely than ever, to prevent terrorist attacks and to deepen our cooperation even further. And it's why, as strong and resilient societies, we refuse to live in fear. We will not sacrifice the values and rule of law that defines us, and we will never waver in the defense of our people. 这就是连接我们的纽带。正因如此，我们坚持认为，任何理由都不能为屠杀无辜男女和儿童开脱；正因如此，我们比以往任何时候都更加紧密地合作，防止恐怖袭击，进一步深化协作；也正因如此，作为强大而坚韧的社会，我们拒绝生活在恐惧之中。我们不会牺牲构成我们立国之本的价值观和法治，也绝不会在保卫人民时有丝毫动摇。
America's fight against al Qaeda and its terrorist affiliates is why we persevere in Afghanistan, where major development assistance from India has improved the lives of the Afghan people. We're making progress in our mission to break the Taliban's momentum and to train Afghan forces so they can take the lead for their security. And while I have made it clear that American forces will begin the transition to Afghan responsibility next summer, I've also made it clear that America's commitment to the Afghan people will endure. 正因为美国正在打击“基地”组织及其恐怖主义附属势力，我们才坚持留在阿富汗；印度在那里提供的大规模发展援助改善了阿富汗人民的生活。我们在遏制塔利班攻势、训练阿富汗部队主导本国安全事务方面正取得进展。尽管我已明确表示，美军将从明年夏天开始把责任移交给阿富汗方面，但我也同样明确地表示，美国对阿富汗人民的承诺将持久不变。
The United States will not abandon the people of Afghanistan -- or the region -- to violent extremists who threaten us all. 美国不会将阿富汗人民——或该地区——抛弃给威胁我们所有人的暴力极端分子。
Our strategy to disrupt and dismantle and defeat al Qaeda and its affiliates has to succeed on both sides of the border. And that's why we have worked with the Pakistani government to address the threat of terrorist networks in the border region. The Pakistani government increasingly recognizes that these networks are not just a threat outside of Pakistan -- they are a threat to the Pakistani people, as well. They've suffered greatly at the hands of violent extremists over the last several years. 我们扰乱、瓦解并击败“基地”组织及其附属势力的战略，必须在阿富汗—巴基斯坦边境两侧都取得成功。因此，我们一直与巴基斯坦政府合作，应对边境地区恐怖网络的威胁。巴基斯坦政府越来越认识到，这些网络不仅威胁巴基斯坦境外，也威胁巴基斯坦人民。过去几年，巴基斯坦人民深受暴力极端分子之害。
And we'll continue to insist to Pakistan's leaders that terrorist safe havens within their borders are unacceptable, and that terrorists behind the Mumbai attacks must be brought to justice. We must also recognize that all of us have an interest in both an Afghanistan and a Pakistan that is stable and prosperous and democratic -- and India has an interest in that, as well. 我们将继续向巴基斯坦领导人明确表示，其境内存在恐怖分子庇护所是不可接受的，孟买袭击的幕后恐怖分子必须被绳之以法。我们还必须认识到，一个稳定、繁荣、民主的阿富汗和巴基斯坦符合我们所有人的利益，也符合印度的利益。
In pursuit of regional security, we will continue to welcome dialogue between India and Pakistan, even as we recognize that disputes between your two countries can only be resolved by the people of your two countries. 在追求地区安全的过程中，我们将继续欢迎印度和巴基斯坦之间的对话，同时我们也认识到，你们两国之间的争端只能由你们两国人民来解决。
More broadly, India and the United States can partner in Asia. Today, the United States is once again playing a leadership role in Asia -- strengthening old alliances; deepening relationships, as we are doing with China; and we're reengaging with regional organizations like ASEAN and joining the East Asia summit -- organizations in which India is also a partner. Like your neighbors in Southeast Asia, we want India not only to "look East," we want India to "engage East" -- because it will increase the security and prosperity of all our nations. 从更广泛的层面看，印度和美国可以在亚洲携手合作。今天，美国正重新在亚洲发挥领导作用——巩固传统同盟，深化包括对华关系在内的各方关系，重新参与东盟等地区组织，并加入东亚峰会；印度同样也是这些机制的合作伙伴。与东南亚各国一样，我们希望印度不仅“向东看”，更要“向东参与”，因为这将增进我们所有国家的安全与繁荣。
As two global leaders, the United States and India can partner for global security -- especially as India serves on the Security Council over the next two years. Indeed, the just and sustainable international order that America seeks includes a United Nations that is efficient, effective, credible and legitimate. That is why I can say today, in the years ahead, I look forward to a reformed United Nations Security Council that includes India as a permanent member. 作为两个全球性领导力量，美国和印度可以携手维护全球安全——尤其是在印度未来两年担任安理会非常任理事国期间。的确，美国所寻求的公正、可持续的国际秩序，需要一个精干、高效、可信并具有正当性的联合国。因此，我今天可以说：展望未来，我期待看到一个经过改革、并由印度担任常任理事国的联合国安理会。
Now, let me suggest that with increased power comes increased responsibility. The United Nations exists to fulfill its founding ideals of preserving peace and security, promoting global cooperation, and advancing human rights. These are the responsibilities of all nations, but especially those that seek to lead in the 21st century. 我要指出，权力越大，责任也越大。联合国的使命，是实现其创立时确立的理想：维护和平与安全、促进全球合作、推动人权进步。这些责任属于所有国家，尤其属于那些希望在21世纪发挥领导作用的国家。
And so we look forward to working with India -- and other nations that aspire to Security Council membership -- to ensure that the Security Council is effective; that resolutions are implemented, that sanctions are enforced; that we strengthen the international norms which recognize the rights and responsibilities of all nations and all individuals. 因此，我们期待与印度——以及其他渴望成为安理会成员的国家——合作，确保安理会有效运作；确保决议得到执行，制裁得到落实；确保我们加强承认所有国家和个人权利与责任的国际准则。
This includes our responsibility to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons. Since I took office, the United States has reduced the role of nuclear weapons in our national security strategy, and we've agreed with Russia to reduce our own arsenals. We have put preventing nuclear proliferation and nuclear terrorism at the top of our nuclear agenda, and we have strengthened the cornerstone of the global non-proliferation regime, which is the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. 这包括我们防止核武器扩散的责任。自我上任以来，美国已降低核武器在国家安全战略中的作用，并与俄罗斯达成削减各自核武库的协议。我们把防止核扩散和核恐怖主义置于核议程首位，并巩固了全球核不扩散体系的基石——《不扩散核武器条约》。
Together, the United States and India can pursue our goal of securing the world's vulnerable nuclear materials. We can make it clear that even as every nation has the right to peaceful nuclear energy, every nation must also meet its international obligations -- and that includes the Islamic Republic of Iran. And together, we can pursue a vision that Indian leaders have espoused since independence -- a world without nuclear weapons. 美国和印度可以携手实现我们的目标，确保世界各地易受威胁的核材料得到妥善保护。我们可以明确表明：每个国家都有和平利用核能的权利，但也都必须履行国际义务——伊朗伊斯兰共和国也不例外。我们还可以共同追求印度领导人自独立以来一直倡导的愿景——建设一个没有核武器的世界。
And this leads me to the final area where our countries can partner -- strengthening the foundations of democratic governance, not only at home but abroad. 这引向我们两国可以合作的最后一个领域——加强民主治理的基础，不仅在国内，而且在国外。
In the United States, my administration has worked to make government more open and transparent and accountable to people. Here in India, you're harnessing technologies to do the same, as I saw yesterday at an expo in Mumbai. Your landmark Right to Information Act is empowering citizens with the ability to get the services to which they're entitled -- and to hold officials accountable. Voters can get information about candidates by text message. 在美国，我的政府一直致力于让政府更加开放、透明，并向人民负责。在印度，你们也在运用技术实现同样的目标，正如我昨天在孟买一场展览上所看到的那样。具有里程碑意义的《信息权法》正在赋予公民获得其应享公共服务、追究官员责任的能力。选民还可以通过短信获取候选人信息。
And you're delivering education and health care services to rural communities, as I saw yesterday when I joined an e-panchayat with villagers in Rajasthan. 你们正在向农村社区提供教育和医疗服务，正如我昨天在拉贾斯坦邦参加一个与村民的电子村务会议时所看到的。
Now, in a new collaboration on open government, our two countries are going to share our experience, identify what works, and develop the next generation of tools to empower citizens. And in another example of how American and Indian partnership can address global challenges, we're going to share these innovations with civil society groups and countries around the world. We're going to show that democracy, more than any other form of government, delivers for the common man -- and woman. 在开放政府领域的新合作中，两国将分享经验、总结有效做法，并开发新一代工具，为公民赋能。作为美印伙伴关系应对全球挑战的又一范例，我们还将与世界各地的公民社会组织和各国分享这些创新。我们将证明，与任何其他政体相比，民主更能造福每一位普通人——无论男女。
Likewise, when Indians vote, the whole world watches. Thousands of political parties; hundreds of thousands of polling centers; millions of candidates and poll workers -- and 700 million voters. There's nothing like it on the planet. There is so much that countries transitioning to democracy could learn from India's experience, so much expertise that India can share with the world. And that, too, is what is possible when the world's largest democracy embraces its role as a global leader. 同样，当印度人投票时，全世界都在关注。数千个政党；数十万个投票中心；数百万候选人和投票工作人员——以及七亿选民。地球上没有类似的事情。正在向民主过渡的国家可以从印度的经验中学到很多，印度可以向世界分享如此多的专业知识。当世界上最大的民主国家拥抱其作为全球领导者的角色时，这一切都是可能的。
As the world's two largest democracies, we must never forget that the price of our own freedom is standing up for the freedom of others. Indians know this, for it is the story of your nation. Before he ever began his struggle for Indian independence, Gandhi stood up for the rights of Indians in South Africa. Just as others, including the United States, supported Indian independence, India championed the self-determination of peoples from Africa to Asia as they, too, broke free from colonialism. 作为世界上两个最大的民主国家，我们绝不能忘记：维护自身自由的代价，就是为他人的自由挺身而出。印度人深知这一点，因为这正是你们国家的历史。在甘地开始为印度独立而奋斗之前，他就曾为南非印度人的权利挺身而出。正如包括美国在内的其他国家曾支持印度独立一样，印度也曾支持从非洲到亚洲各国人民争取自决、摆脱殖民统治。
And along with the United States, you've been a leader in supporting democratic development and civil society groups around the world. And this, too, is part of India's greatness. 印度与美国一道，一直是支持世界各地民主发展和公民社会组织的重要领导力量。这同样是印度伟大之处的一部分。
Now, we all understand every country will follow its own path. No one nation has a monopoly on wisdom, and no nation should ever try to impose its values on another. But when peaceful democratic movements are suppressed -- as they have been in Burma, for example -- then the democracies of the world cannot remain silent. 我们都知道每个国家都会走自己的路。没有一个国家对智慧有垄断权，任何国家都不应该试图将自己的价值观强加于他国。但当和平的民主运动被压制时——正如缅甸所发生的那样——世界上的民主国家不能保持沉默。
For it is unacceptable to gun down peaceful protestors and incarcerate political prisoners decade after decade. It is unacceptable to hold the aspirations of an entire people hostage to the greed and paranoia of bankrupt regimes. It is unacceptable to steal elections, as the regime in Burma has done again for all the world to see. 枪杀和平示威者、将政治犯经年累月地关押，都是不可接受的。让整个民族的愿望沦为腐朽政权之贪婪与偏执的人质，是不可接受的。窃取选举结果也是不可接受的，缅甸政权再次把这一点暴露在全世界面前。
Faced with such gross violations of human rights, it is the responsibility of the international community -- especially leaders like the United States and India -- to condemn it. And if I can be frank, in international fora, India has often shied away from some of these issues. But speaking up for those who cannot do so for themselves is not interfering in the affairs of other countries. It's not violating the rights of sovereign nations. It is staying true to our democratic principles. It is giving meaning to the human rights that we say are universal. 面对如此严重的侵犯人权行为，国际社会——尤其是美国和印度这样的领导力量——有责任加以谴责。请允许我坦率地说，在国际场合，印度常常回避其中一些问题。然而，为无法替自己发声的人发声，并不等于干涉他国内政，也不等于侵犯主权国家的权利。这是在恪守我们的民主原则，是在赋予我们所称的普世人权以真正意义。
And it sustains the progress that in Asia and around the world has helped turn dictatorships into democracies and ultimately increased our security in the world. 这样做能够巩固亚洲乃至世界各地推动独裁政体走向民主的进步，并最终提升我们在这个世界上的共同安全。
So promoting shared prosperity, preserving peace and security, strengthening democratic governance and human rights -- these are the responsibilities of leadership. And as global partners, this is the leadership that the United States and India can offer in the 21st century. Ultimately, though, this cannot be a relationship only between presidents and prime ministers, or in the halls of this Parliament. Ultimately, this must be a partnership between our peoples. So I want to conclude by speaking directly to the people of India who are watching today. 因此，促进共同繁荣、维护和平与安全、加强民主治理和人权——这些都是领导者肩负的责任。作为全球伙伴，美国和印度能够在21世纪共同发挥这样的领导作用。但归根结底，这种关系不能只存在于总统与总理之间，也不能只停留在这座议会大厅里；它必须成为两国人民之间的伙伴关系。因此，在结束讲话之前，我想直接对今天正在观看演讲的印度人民说几句话。
In your lives, you have overcome odds that might have overwhelmed a lesser country. In just decades, you have achieved progress and development that took other nations centuries. You are now assuming your rightful place as a leader among nations. Your parents and grandparents imagined this. Your children and grandchildren will look back on this. But only this generation of Indians can seize the possibilities of the moment. 在你们有生之年，你们克服了足以压垮一个较弱国家的重重困难。在短短几十年里，你们取得了其他国家历经数百年才实现的进步与发展。如今，你们正在取得作为世界领导国家之一应有的地位。你们的父母和祖父母曾经憧憬这一刻，你们的子孙后代将会回望这一刻，但只有这一代印度人能够抓住当下蕴含的种种可能。
As you carry on with the hard work ahead, I want every Indian citizen to know: The United States of America will not simply be cheering you on from the sidelines. We will be right there with you, shoulder to shoulder. Because we believe in the promise of India. We believe that the future is what we make it. We believe that no matter who you are or where you come from, every person can fulfill their God-given potential, just as a Dalit like Dr. Ambedkar could lift himself up and pen the words of the constitution that protects the rights of all Indians. 在你们继续推进前方艰巨工作的同时，我希望每一位印度公民都知道：美利坚合众国不会只站在场边为你们喝彩，我们将与你们肩并肩站在一起。因为我们相信印度的光明前景，相信未来由我们共同塑造。我们相信，无论是谁、来自哪里，每个人都能够实现上天赋予的潜能；正如出身达利特群体的安贝德卡尔博士能够奋发自强，亲笔写下保障全体印度人权利的宪法条文。
We believe that no matter where you live -- whether a village in Punjab or the bylanes of Chandni Chowk -- an old section of Kolkata or a new high-rise in Bangalore -- every person deserves the same chance to live in security and dignity, to get an education, to find work, to give their children a better future. 我们相信，无论你居住在哪里——无论是旁遮普的村庄、月光集市的小巷，还是加尔各答的老城区、班加罗尔的新高楼——每个人都应享有同样的机会：过上安全而有尊严的生活，接受教育，找到工作，为自己的孩子创造更美好的未来。
And we believe that when countries and cultures put aside old habits and attitudes that keep people apart, when we recognize our common humanity, then we can begin to fulfill these aspirations that we share. It's a simple lesson contained in that collection of stories which has guided Indians for centuries -- the Panchtantra. And it's the spirit of the inscription seen by all who enter this great hall: "That one is mine and the other a stranger is the concept of little minds. But to the large-hearted, the world itself is their family." 我们相信，当国家和文化放下将人们隔开的旧习惯和旧态度，当我们认识到我们共同的人性，我们就可以开始实现我们共同的愿望。这是一个简单的道理，包含在那部引导印度人数个世纪的故事集——《五卷书》中。这也是所有进入这座伟大大厅的人看到的铭文的精神："此人是我，彼人是外人，这是狭隘者的观念。但对于胸怀宽广者，世界本身就是他们的家庭。"
This is the story of India; this is the story of America -- that despite their differences, people can see themselves in one another, and work together and succeed together as one proud nation. And it can be the spirit of partnership between our nations -- that even as we honor the histories which in different times kept us apart, even as we preserve what makes us unique in a globalized world, we can recognize how much we can achieve together. 这就是印度的故事，也是美国的故事——尽管彼此存在差异，人们仍能从对方身上看到自己的影子，能够团结成一个自豪的国家，一起奋斗、一起成功。这也可以成为我们两国伙伴关系的精神：即使我们尊重那段曾在不同时期使彼此疏远的历史，即使我们在全球化世界中保留各自的独特之处，我们仍能认识到，携手合作可以取得多么巨大的成就。
And if we let this simple concept be our guide, if we pursue the vision I've described today -- a global partnership to meet global challenges -- then I have no doubt that future generations -- Indians and Americans -- will live in a world that is more prosperous and more secure and more just because of the bonds that our generation has forged today. 如果我们让这个简单的概念成为我们的指南，如果我们追求我今天所描述的愿景——一个应对全球挑战的全球伙伴关系——那么我毫不怀疑，未来的世代——印度人和美国人——将生活在一个更加繁荣、更加安全、更加公正的世界中，因为我们这一代人今天所缔造的纽带。
So, thank you, and Jai Hind. And long live the partnership between India and the United States. 谢谢大家，Jai Hind（印度万岁）。愿印度和美国之间的伙伴关系万古长青。
