President Obama: Good afternoon, everyone. I am honored to be back here in the Czech Republic with President Medvedev and our Czech hosts to mark this historic completion of the New START treaty. 奥巴马总统：大家下午好。我很荣幸能与梅德韦杰夫总统以及我们的捷克东道主一起回到捷克共和国，共同见证新START条约的历史性完成。
Let me begin by saying how happy I am to be back in the beautiful city of Prague. The Czech Republic, of course, is a close friend and ally of the United States, and I have great admiration and affection for the Czech people. Their bonds with the American people are deep and enduring, and Czechs have made great contributions to the United States over many decades -- including in my hometown of Chicago. I want to thank the President and all those involved in helping to host this extraordinary event. 首先，我要说，能够回到美丽的布拉格我感到非常高兴。捷克共和国当然是美国的亲密朋友和盟友，我对捷克人民怀有极大的敬佩和深厚感情。他们与美国人民之间的纽带深厚而持久，几十年来捷克人为美国做出了巨大贡献——包括在我的家乡芝加哥。我要感谢总统先生以及所有协助主办这一非凡活动的人士。
I want to thank my friend and partner, Dmitry Medvedev. Without his personal efforts and strong leadership, we would not be here today. We've met and spoken by phone many times throughout the negotiations of this treaty, and as a consequence we've developed a very effective working relationship built on candor, cooperation, and mutual respect. 我要感谢我的朋友和伙伴德米特里·梅德韦杰夫。没有他个人的努力和强有力的领导，我们今天不会站在这里。在本条约的整个谈判过程中，我们多次会面并通过电话交谈，因此我们建立了一种建立在坦诚、合作和相互尊重基础上的非常有效的工作关系。
One year ago this week, I came here to Prague and gave a speech outlining America's comprehensive commitment to stopping the spread of nuclear weapons and seeking the ultimate goal of a world without them. I said then -- and I will repeat now -- that this is a long-term goal, one that may not even be achieved in my lifetime. 一年前的本周，我来到布拉格发表演讲，阐述了美国阻止核武器扩散并寻求无核武器世界这一终极目标的全面承诺。我当时说过——现在我要重申——这是一个长期目标，甚至可能在我有生之年都无法实现。
But I believed then -- as I do now -- that the pursuit of that goal will move us further beyond the Cold War, strengthen the global non-proliferation regime, and make the United States, and the world, safer and more secure. One of the steps that I called for last year was the realization of this treaty, so it's very gratifying to be back in Prague today. 但我当时相信——现在依然相信——对这一目标的追求将推动我们进一步超越冷战，加强全球防扩散机制，使美国和世界更加安全、更有保障。我去年呼吁采取的步骤之一就是实现这项条约，因此今天能回到布拉格令人非常欣慰。
I also came to office committed to "resetting" relations between the United States and Russia, and I know that President Medvedev shared that commitment. As he said at our first meeting in London, our relationship had started to drift, making it difficult to cooperate on issues of common interest to our people. And when the United States and Russia are not able to work together on big issues, it's not good for either of our nations, nor is it good for the world. 我上任时还致力于"重启"美俄关系，我知道梅德韦杰夫总统也抱有同样的承诺。正如他在我们于伦敦首次会晤时所说，我们的关系已经开始漂移，使得在涉及我们人民共同利益的问题上难以合作。而当美国和俄罗斯无法在重大问题上合作时，这对我们两国都没有好处，对世界也没有好处。
Together, we've stopped that drift, and proven the benefits of cooperation. Today is an important milestone for nuclear security and non-proliferation, and for U.S.-Russia relations. It fulfills our common objective to negotiate a new Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty. It includes significant reductions in the nuclear weapons that we will deploy. 我们携手制止了这种漂移，并证明了合作的好处。今天是核安全与防扩散以及美俄关系的一个重要里程碑。它实现了我们谈判一项新的《削减战略武器条约》的共同目标。它包括对我们将要部署的核武器进行大幅削减。
It cuts our delivery vehicles by roughly half. It includes a comprehensive verification regime, which allows us to further build trust. It enables both sides the flexibility to protect our security, as well as America's unwavering commitment to the security of our European allies. And I look forward to working with the United States Senate to achieve ratification for this important treaty later this year. 它将我们的运载工具削减约一半。它包括一个全面的核查机制，使我们能够进一步建立信任。它赋予双方保护自身安全的灵活性，以及美国对欧洲盟友安全的坚定承诺。我期待着与美国参议院合作，在今年晚些时候实现这项重要条约的批准。
Finally, this day demonstrates the determination of the United States and Russia -- the two nations that hold over 90 percent of the world's nuclear weapons -- to pursue responsible global leadership. Together, we are keeping our commitments under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, which must be the foundation for global non-proliferation. 最后，今天彰显了美国和俄罗斯——这两个拥有世界90%以上核武器的国家——追求负责任的全球领导力的决心。我们正在共同履行我们在《不扩散核武器条约》下的承诺，该条约必须成为全球防扩散的基石。
While the New START treaty is an important first step forward, it is just one step on a longer journey. As I said last year in Prague, this treaty will set the stage for further cuts. And going forward, we hope to pursue discussions with Russia on reducing both our strategic and tactical weapons, including non-deployed weapons. 虽然新START条约是向前迈出的重要第一步，但它只是更长征程上的一步。正如我去年在布拉格所说，这项条约将为进一步削减奠定基础。展望未来，我们希望与俄罗斯讨论削减我们的战略和战术武器，包括未部署的武器。
President Medvedev and I have also agreed to expand our discussions on missile defense. This will include regular exchanges of information about our threat assessments, as well as the completion of a joint assessment of emerging ballistic missiles. And as these assessments are completed, I look forward to launching a serious dialogue about Russian-American cooperation on missile defense. 梅德韦杰夫总统和我还同意扩大我们在导弹防御问题上的讨论。这将包括定期交换有关我们威胁评估的信息，以及完成对新兴弹道导弹的联合评估。随着这些评估的完成，我期待就俄美在导弹防御上的合作展开认真对话。
But nuclear weapons are not simply an issue for the United States and Russia -- they threaten the common security of all nations. A nuclear weapon in the hands of a terrorist is a danger to people everywhere -- from Moscow to New York; from the cities of Europe to South Asia. So next week, 47 nations will come together in Washington to discuss concrete steps that can be taken to secure all vulnerable nuclear materials around the world in four years. 但核武器不仅仅是美国和俄罗斯的问题——它们威胁着所有国家的共同安全。恐怖分子手中的核武器对各地人民都是一种危险——从莫斯科到纽约，从欧洲的城市到南亚。因此下周，47个国家将齐聚华盛顿，讨论可在四年内确保全球所有易失核材料安全的具体步骤。
And the spread of nuclear weapons to more states is also an unacceptable risk to global security -- raising the specter of arms races from the Middle East to East Asia. Earlier this week, the United States formally changed our policy to make it clear that those [non]-nuclear weapons states that are in compliance with the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and their non-proliferation obligations will not be threatened by America's nuclear arsenal. 核武器向更多国家的扩散也是对全球安全不可接受的风险——这在中东到东亚引发军备竞赛的幽灵。本周早些时候，美国正式改变了我们的政策，明确表示那些遵守《不扩散核武器条约》及其防扩散义务的[非]核武器国家将不会受到美国核武库的威胁。
This demonstrates, once more, America's commitment to the NPT as a cornerstone of our security strategy. Those nations that follow the rules will find greater security and opportunity. Those nations that refuse to meet their obligations will be isolated, and denied the opportunity that comes with international recognition. 这再次表明美国致力于将《不扩散核武器条约》作为我们安全战略的基石。遵守规则的国家将获得更大的安全和机遇。而拒绝履行义务的国家将被孤立，并被剥夺伴随国际认可而来的机遇。
That includes accountability for those that break the rules -- otherwise the NPT is just words on a page. That's why the United States and Russia are part of a coalition of nations insisting that the Islamic Republic of Iran face consequences, because they have continually failed to meet their obligations. 这包括对违反规则者的问责——否则《不扩散核武器条约》只是纸上的文字。这就是为什么美国和俄罗斯是坚持要求伊朗伊斯兰共和国承担后果的国家联盟的一员，因为它不断未能履行其义务。
We are working together at the United Nations Security Council to pass strong sanctions on Iran. And we will not tolerate actions that flout the NPT, risk an arms race in a vital region, and threaten the credibility of the international community and our collective security. 我们正在联合国安理会共同努力，通过对伊朗的强力制裁。我们不会容忍那些公然违反《不扩散核武器条约》、在一个关键地区引发军备竞赛风险、并威胁国际社会信誉和我们共同安全的行为。
While these issues are a top priority, they are only one part of the U.S.-Russia relationship. Today, I again expressed my deepest condolences for the terrible loss of Russian life in recent terrorist attacks, and we will remain steadfast partners in combating violent extremism. 虽然这些问题是头等大事，但它们只是美俄关系的一部分。今天，我再次对最近恐怖袭击中俄罗斯生命的悲惨损失表示最深切的哀悼，我们将继续做打击暴力极端主义的坚定伙伴。
We also discussed the potential to expand our cooperation on behalf of economic growth, trade and investment, as well as technological innovation, and I look forward to discussing these issues further when President Medvedev visits the United States later this year, because there is much we can do on behalf of our security and prosperity if we continue to work together. 我们还讨论了扩大我们在经济增长、贸易和投资以及技术创新方面合作的潜力，我期待在今年晚些时候梅德韦杰夫总统访问美国时进一步讨论这些问题，因为如果我们继续合作，在安全和繁荣方面有太多我们可以做的事情。
When one surveys the many challenges that we face around the world, it's easy to grow complacent, or to abandon the notion that progress can be shared. But I want to repeat what I said last year in Prague: When nations and peoples allow themselves to be defined by their differences, the gulf between them widens. When we fail to pursue peace, then it stays forever beyond our grasp. 当人们审视我们在世界各地面临的诸多挑战时，很容易变得自满，或放弃进步可以共享的观念。但我想重申我去年在布拉格所说的话：当国家和人民任由自己被分歧所定义时，他们之间的鸿沟就会扩大。当我们不去追求和平时，和平就将永远可望而不可即。
This majestic city of Prague is in many ways a monument to human progress. And this ceremony is a testament to the truth that old adversaries can forge new partnerships. I could not help but be struck the other day by the words of Arkady Brish, who helped build the Soviet Union's first atom bomb. 这座宏伟的布拉格城在许多方面都是人类进步的丰碑。而这次仪式证明了一个真理：昔日的对手可以缔造新的伙伴关系。前几天我不禁被阿尔卡季·布里什的话所触动，他曾参与建造苏联的第一颗原子弹。
At the age of 92, having lived to see the horrors of a World War and the divisions of a Cold War, he said, "We hope humanity will reach the moment when there is no need for nuclear weapons, when there is peace and calm in the world." 92岁高龄的他，经历了世界大战的恐怖和冷战的分裂，他说："我们希望人类能迎来不再需要核武器的时刻，那时世界将充满和平与宁静。"
It's easy to dismiss those voices. But doing so risks repeating the horrors of the past, while ignoring the history of human progress. The pursuit of peace and calm and cooperation among nations is the work of both leaders and peoples in the 21st century. For we must be as persistent and passionate in our pursuit of progress as any who would stand in our way. 人们很容易忽视这些声音。但这样做有可能重蹈过去的恐怖，而无视人类进步的历史。追求和平、宁静与国家间的合作是21世纪领导人和人民的共同事业。因为我们在追求进步时，必须像任何阻挡我们的人一样坚持不懈、充满激情。
Once again, President Medvedev, thank you for your extraordinary leadership. 再次感谢梅德韦杰夫总统的卓越领导。
President Obama: ...from missiles launched from third countries. We recognize, however, that Russia has a significant interest in this issue, and what we've committed to doing is to engaging in a significant discussion not only bilaterally but also having discussions with our European allies and others about a framework in which we can potentially cooperate on issues of missile defense in a way that preserves U.S. national security interests, preserves Russia's national security interests, and allows us to guard against a rogue missile from any source. 奥巴马总统：……来自第三国发射的导弹。然而，我们认识到俄罗斯在这个问题上有重大利益，我们承诺要进行一次重要的讨论，不仅是双边讨论，还要与我们的欧洲盟友及其他方面进行讨论，探讨一个框架，使我们在导弹防御问题上可能以保护美国国家安全利益、保护俄罗斯国家安全利益、并使我们能够防范来自任何来源的流氓导弹的方式进行合作。
So I'm actually optimistic that having completed this treaty, which signals our strong commitment to a reduction in overall nuclear weapons, and that I believe is going to strengthen the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty regime, that sends a signal around the world that the United States and Russia are prepared to once again take leadership in moving in the direction of reducing reliance on nuclear weapons and preventing the spread of nuclear weapons, as well as nuclear materials, 因此我实际上感到乐观，完成这项条约——它标志着我们对削减整体核武器的坚定承诺，我相信这将加强《不扩散核武器条约》机制——向世界发出一个信号，即美国和俄罗斯准备再次承担领导责任，朝着减少对核武器的依赖并防止核武器及核材料扩散的方向前进，
that we will have built the kind of trust not only between Presidents but also between governments and between peoples that allows us to move forward in a constructive way. 我们将建立起不仅在总统之间、而且在政府之间和人民之间的那种信任，使我们能够以建设性的方式向前推进。
I've repeatedly said that we will not do anything that endangers or limits my ability as Commander-in-Chief to protect the American people. And we think that missile defense can be an important component of that. But we also want to make clear that the approach that we've taken in no way is intended to change the strategic balance between the United States and Russia. 我反复说过，我们不会做任何危及或限制我作为总司令保护美国人民能力的事情。我们认为导弹防御可以是其中的重要组成部分。但我们也想明确，我们所采取的方式绝无意改变美国和俄罗斯之间的战略平衡。
And I'm actually confident that, moving forward, as we have these discussions, it will be part of a broader set of discussions about, for example, how we can take tactical nuclear weapons out of theater, the possibilities of us making more significant cuts not only in deployed but also non-deployed missiles. There are a whole range of issues that I think that we can make significant progress on. I'm confident that this is an important first step in that direction. 我实际上相信，展望未来，随着我们展开这些讨论，它将成为更广泛讨论的一部分，例如我们如何将战术核武器撤出战区，我们在已部署和未部署导弹上做出更大幅削减的可能性。我认为我们可以在一系列问题上取得重大进展。我相信这是朝那个方向迈出的重要第一步。
Reporter's Question [in Russian and translated to English]: I have two questions. To each of the Presidents, one. The first is to Mr. Obama. Moscow and Washington, not for the first time, agree on a reduction of strategic offensive arms, but as you have mentioned, Russia and the United States are not the only countries having nuclear weapons. So how specifically can the documents achieved -- well, similar to today's document on limitation on nuclear arms -- how soon we will see others sign this document? And will you move along this track together with Russia? 记者提问[用俄语并翻译成英语]：我有两个问题，分别提给两位总统，各一个。第一个提给奥巴马先生。莫斯科和华盛顿已经不是第一次就削减战略进攻性武器达成一致，但正如您所提到的，拥有核武器的国家并不只有俄罗斯和美国。那么具体而言，已经达成的文件——嗯，类似今天关于限制核武器的文件——我们要多久才能看到其他国家签署这份文件？您是否会与俄罗斯一起沿这条道路前行？
And to the President of the Russian Federation, you have mentioned the fact that sometimes there's an impression that Moscow and Washington are unable to agree on anything else but a mutual reduction of arms. So will we see any things that will counter such a statement? And what will the agreement be? 而向俄罗斯联邦总统，您曾提到，有时人们会有一种印象，即莫斯科和华盛顿除了相互削减武器外无法就任何其他事情达成一致。那么我们是否会看到任何能反驳这种说法的事情？协议将会是什么？
President Obama: First of all, as I mentioned in my opening remarks, the United States and Russia account for 90 percent of the world's nuclear weapons. And given this legacy of the Cold War, it is critical for us to show significant leadership. That, I think, is what we've begun to do with this follow-on START treaty. 奥巴马总统：首先，正如我在开场白中提到的，美国和俄罗斯拥有世界90%的核武器。鉴于冷战的这一遗产，我们展示重大领导力至关重要。我认为，这就是我们通过这项后续START条约已经开始做的事情。
Other countries are going to have to be making a series of decisions about how they approach the issue of their nuclear weapons stockpiles. And as I've repeatedly said, and I'm sure Dmitry feels the same way with respect to his country, we are going to preserve our nuclear deterrent so long as other countries have nuclear weapons, and we are going to make sure that that stockpile is safe and secure and effective. 其他国家将不得不就如何处理其核武器库存问题做出一系列决定。正如我反复说过的——我确信德米特里对他的国家也有同感——只要其他国家拥有核武器，我们就将保持我们的核威慑力量，我们将确保该库存是安全、可靠和有效的。
But I do believe that as we look out into the 21st century, that more and more countries will come to recognize that the most important factors in providing security and peace to their citizens will depend on their economic growth, will depend on the capacity of the international community to resolve conflicts; it will depend on having a strong conventional military that can protect our nations' borders; and that nuclear weapons increasingly in an interdependent world will make less and less sense as the cornerstone of security policy. 但我确实相信，展望21世纪，越来越多的国家将认识到，为其公民提供安全与和平的最重要因素将取决于经济增长，取决于国际社会解决冲突的能力；将取决于拥有一支能够保护我们国家边界的强大常规军队；而在一个相互依存的世界里，核武器作为安全政策基石的意义将越来越小。
But that's going to take some time, and I think each country is going to have to make its own determinations. The key is for the United States and Russia to show leadership on this front because we are so far ahead of every nation with respect to possession of nuclear weapons. 但这需要一些时间，我认为每个国家都必须做出自己的决定。关键是美国和俄罗斯在这一前沿展示领导力，因为我们在拥有核武器方面远远领先于其他任何国家。
The primary concerns that we identified in a recent Nuclear Posture Review, essentially a declaratory statement of U.S. policy with respect to nuclear weapons, said that our biggest concerns right now are actually the issues of nuclear terrorism and nuclear proliferation -- more countries obtaining nuclear weapons; those weapons being less controllable, less secure; nuclear materials floating around the globe. And that's going to be a major topic of the discussion that we have in Washington on Monday. 我们在最近的《核态势审议》中确定的主要关切——本质上是美国关于核武器政策的声明——指出，我们目前最大的关切实际上是核恐怖主义和核扩散问题——更多国家获得核武器；这些武器更难控制、更不安全；核材料在全球流通。这将是我们周一在华盛顿讨论的一个主要议题。
The United States and Russia have a history already, a decade-long history, of locking down loose nuclear materials. I believe that our ability to move forward already on sanctions with respect to North Korea, the intense discussions that we're having with respect to Iran, will increasingly send a signal to countries that are not abiding by their Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty obligations, that they will be isolated. 美国和俄罗斯已有十年的历史，一直致力于锁定松散的核材料。我相信，我们在对朝鲜的制裁上已经取得的进展，以及我们就伊朗问题进行的密集讨论，将越来越向那些不遵守《不扩散核武器条约》义务的国家发出信号：它们将被孤立。
All those things will go toward sending a general message that we need to move in a new direction. And I think leadership on that front is important. 所有这些都将有助于传递一个总体信息，即我们需要朝着一个新方向前进。我认为在这一前沿的领导力很重要。
Last point I'll make, I will just anticipate or coach the question about other areas of cooperation. Our respective foreign ministers -- Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Foreign Minister Lavrov -- have been heading a bilateral commission that has been working intensively on a whole range of issue. 最后我要说一点，我先预见或引导一下关于其他合作领域的问题。我们各自的外交部长——国务卿希拉里·克林顿和外交部长拉夫罗夫——一直在领导一个双边委员会，该委员会一直在一系列问题上进行密集工作。
And President Medvedev and myself identified a series of key areas on the economic front, in trade relations, the potential for joint cooperation on various industries, how we can work on innovation and sparking economic growth. We've already worked together closely in the G20; I think we can build on that bilaterally. 梅德韦杰夫总统和我本人在经济领域、贸易关系、各行业联合合作的潜力、以及我们如何在创新和激发经济增长方面开展合作确定了一系列关键领域。我们已经在G20中密切合作；我认为我们可以在双边基础上在此基础上进一步发展。
There are issues of counterterrorism that are absolutely critical to both of us, and I just want to repeat how horrified all of America was at the recent attacks in Moscow. We recognize that that's a problem that can happen anywhere at any time, and it's important for Russia and the United States to work closely on those issues. 反恐问题对我们双方都绝对关键，我只想重申，全体美国人对最近在莫斯科发生的袭击感到多么震惊。我们认识到这是一个随时随地都可能发生的问题，俄罗斯和美国在这些问题上密切合作很重要。
And then there are people-to-people contacts and figuring out how we can make sure that there's more interaction and exchange between our two countries on a whole range of issues within civil society. 此外还有民间交往，以及想办法如何确保我们两国在民间社会的一系列问题上有更多的互动和交流。
So I'm very optimistic that we're going to continue to make progress on all of these fronts. But I think we should take pride in this particular accomplishment because it speaks not only to the security of our two nations but also the security of the world as a whole. 因此我非常乐观，我们将继续在所有这些方面取得进展。但我认为我们应该为这一具体成就感到自豪，因为它不仅关系到我们两国的安全，也关系到整个世界的安全。
Reporter's Question: Thank you, President Medvedev and President Obama. For President Obama first, could you elaborate on how the yearlong negotiations over the New START treaty have advanced U.S. cooperation with Russia on Iran, and give us a sense of when you will pursue, move forward in the United Nations and next week with sanctions discussions, and what those sanctions might look like? 记者提问：谢谢梅德韦杰夫总统和奥巴马总统。首先向奥巴马总统提问，您能否详细说明过去一年关于新START条约的谈判如何推进了美国与俄罗斯在伊朗问题上的合作，并告诉我们您将在联合国何时推进、下周的制裁讨论以及这些制裁可能是什么样子？
And for President Medvedev, could you address whether Russia could accept sanctions against Iran specifically dealing with its energy industry and energy sector? Thank you. 向梅德韦杰夫总统，您能否说明俄罗斯是否可以接受专门针对伊朗能源产业和能源部门的制裁？谢谢。
President Obama: Discussions about sanctions on Iran have been moving forward over the last several weeks. In fact, they've been moving forward over the last several months. We're going to start seeing some ramped-up negotiations taking place in New York in the coming weeks. And my expectation is that we are going to be able to secure strong, tough sanctions on Iran this spring. 奥巴马总统：关于对伊朗制裁的讨论在过去几周一直在推进。事实上，过去几个月一直在推进。我们将在未来几周看到在纽约展开升级的谈判。我期望我们今年春天能够确保对伊朗实施强有力、严厉的制裁。
Now, I think there are two ways in which these START negotiations have advanced or at least influenced Russia-U.S. discussions around Iran. The first is obviously that President Medvedev and I have been able to build up a level of trust and our teams have been able to work together in such a way that we can be frank, we can be clear, and that helped to facilitate, then, our ability, for example, to work together jointly to present to Iran reasonable options that would allow it to clearly distance itself from nuclear weapons and pursue a path of peaceful nuclear energy. 现在，我认为START谈判以两种方式推进了——或至少影响了——俄美围绕伊朗的讨论。第一种方式是显而易见的，梅德韦杰夫总统和我已经建立起一定程度的信任，我们的团队能够以坦诚、明确的方式合作，这进而有助于促成我们——例如——共同向伊朗提出合理选项的能力，使其能够明确与核武器拉开距离，走上和平核能之路。
That wasn't just an approach that was taken by the United States and Russia, but it was an approach taken by the P5-plus-1 as well as the International Atomic Energy Agency, the IAEA. 这不只是美国和俄罗斯采取的方式，也是P5+1（联合国五常加一）以及国际原子能机构（IAEA）采取的方式。
So what we've seen from the start is that a host of countries, but -- led by countries like the United States and Russia, have said to Iran, we are willing to work through diplomatic channels to resolve this issue. And unfortunately, Iran has consistently rebuffed our approach. And I think that Russia has been a very strong partner in saying that it has no interest in bringing down Iranian society or the Iranian government, but it does have an interest, as we all do, in making sure that each country is following its international obligations. 因此从一开始我们看到的是，许多国家——但以美国和俄罗斯等国为首——都对伊朗说过，我们愿意通过外交渠道解决这一问题。不幸的是，伊朗一贯拒绝我们的方式。我认为俄罗斯一直是非常强有力的伙伴，它表示无意推翻伊朗社会或伊朗政府，但它确实和我们一样，希望确保每个国家都履行其国际义务。
The second way in which I think the START treaty has influenced our discussions about Iran is it's sent a strong signal that the United States and Russia are following our own obligations under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, and that our interest in Iran or North Korea or any other country following the NPT is not based on singling out any one country, but rather sends a strong signal that all of us have an obligation, each country has an obligation to follow the rules of the road internationally to ensure a more secure future for our children and our grandchildren. 我认为START条约影响了我们对伊朗讨论的第二种方式是，它发出了一个强有力的信号，即美国和俄罗斯正在履行我们在《不扩散核武器条约》下的自身义务，我们关注伊朗、朝鲜或任何其他国家遵守NPT，并非基于针对某一国家，而是发出一个强有力的信号：我们所有人都有义务，每个国家都有义务遵守国际道路规则，以确保我们的子孙后代拥有更安全的未来。
And so I think the fact that we are signing this treaty, the fact that we are willing, as the two leading nuclear powers, to continually work on reducing our own arsenals, I think should indicate the fact that we are willing to be bound by our obligations, and we're not asking any other countries to do anything different, but simply to follow the rules of the road that have been set forth and have helped to maintain at least a lack of the use of nuclear weapons over the last several decades, despite, obviously, the Cold War. 因此我认为，我们签署这项条约的事实，我们作为两个主要核大国愿意不断削减自身核武库的事实，应该表明我们愿意受自身义务的约束，我们并未要求其他国家做任何不同的事情，而只是遵守已设定的道路规则——这些规则在过去几十年里至少帮助维持了核武器的不使用，尽管显然存在冷战。
And the concern that I have in particular, a concern that I think is the most profound security threat to the United States, is that with further proliferation of nuclear weapons, with states obtaining nuclear weapons and potentially using them to blackmail other countries or potentially not securing them effectively or passing them on to terrorist organizations, 而我特别担心的——我认为这是美国面临的最深刻的安全威胁——是随着核武器的进一步扩散，随着一些国家获得核武器并可能利用它们敲诈其他国家，或可能未能有效保护它们，或将它们转交给恐怖组织，
that we could find ourselves in a world in which not only state actors but also potentially non-state actors are in possession of nuclear weapons, and even if they don't use them, would then be in a position to terrorize the world community. 我们可能发现自己身处这样一个世界：不仅国家行为体，而且潜在的非国家行为体也掌握了核武器，即使他们不使用，也将处于能够恐吓国际社会的地位。
That's why this issue is so important, and that's why we are going to be pushing very hard to make sure that both smart and strong sanctions end up being in place soon to send a signal to Iran and other countries that this is an issue that the international community takes seriously. 这就是为什么这个问题如此重要，这也是为什么我们将非常努力地推动，确保既明智又严厉的制裁尽快到位，向伊朗和其他国家发出信号：国际社会严肃对待这一问题。
President Obama: The United States Senate has the obligation of reviewing any treaty and, ultimately, ratifying it. Fortunately there is a strong history of bipartisanship when it comes to the evaluation of international treaties, particularly arms control treaties. 奥巴马总统：美国参议院有义务审查任何条约，并最终予以批准。幸运的是，在评估国际条约——尤其是军控条约——方面有着强有力的两党合作传统。
And so I have already engaged in consultation with the chairmen of the relevant committees in the United States Senate. We are going to broaden that consultation now that this treaty has been signed. My understanding is, is that both in Russia and the United States, it's going to be posed on the Internet, appropriate to a 21st century treaty. And so people not only within government but also the general public will be able to review, in an open and transparent fashion, what it is that we've agreed to. 因此我已经与美国参议院相关委员会的主席们进行了磋商。既然这项条约已经签署，我们将扩大这种磋商。我的理解是，无论是在俄罗斯还是美国，它都将被公布在互联网上，这符合21世纪条约的要求。因此，不仅政府内部的人士，普通公众也将能够以公开透明的方式审查我们所达成的内容。
I think what they will discover is that this is a well-crafted treaty that meets the interests of both countries; that meets the interests of the world in the United States and Russia reducing its nuclear arsenals and setting the stage for potentially further reductions in the future. 我认为他们会发现，这是一项精心起草的条约，符合两国的利益；也符合世界的利益——美国和俄罗斯削减其核武库，并为未来可能的进一步削减奠定基础。
And so I'm actually quite confident that Democrats and Republicans in the United States Senate, having reviewed this, will see that the United States has preserved its core national security interests, that it is maintaining a safe and secure and effective nuclear deterrent, but that we are beginning to once again move forward, leaving the Cold War behind, to address new challenges in new ways. And I think the START treaty represents an important first step in that direction, and I feel confident that we are going to be able to get it ratified. 因此我实际上相当自信，美国参议院的民主党和共和党人在审查之后会看到，美国维护了其核心国家安全利益，保持了安全、可靠、有效的核威慑力量，而我们正在再次向前迈进，把冷战抛在身后，以新的方式应对新的挑战。我认为START条约代表了朝这一方向迈出的重要第一步，我有信心我们能够使其获得批准。
All right? Thank you very much, everybody. 好了？非常感谢大家。
President Medvedev: Thank you, sir. Next time. 梅德韦杰夫总统：谢谢您，先生。下次见。
