Good evening, everybody. Tonight our nation is in debt to the people of Boston and the people of Massachusetts. After a vicious attack on their city, Bostonians responded with resolve and determination. They did their part as citizens and partners in this investigation. 大家晚上好。今晚，全国人民都要感谢波士顿和马萨诸塞州的民众。在城市遭受残酷袭击后，波士顿人以坚定的意志作出了回应。他们尽到了公民的责任，也为这项调查贡献了力量。
Boston police and state police and local police across the Commonwealth of Massachusetts responded with professionalism and bravery over five long days. And tonight, because of their determined efforts, we've closed an important chapter in this tragedy. 在漫长的五天里，波士顿警察、州警察以及马萨诸塞州各地的地方警察都表现得专业而勇敢。今晚，正因为他们坚持不懈的努力，我们为这场悲剧的一个重要阶段画上了句号。
I've been briefed earlier this evening by FBI Director Mueller. After the attacks on Monday, I directed the full resources of the federal government to be made available to help state and local authorities in the investigation and to increase security as needed. Over the past week, close coordination among federal, state, and local officials -- sharing information, moving swiftly to track down leads -- has been critical to this effort. 今天傍晚早些时候，联邦调查局局长穆勒向我汇报了情况。周一袭击发生后，我指示联邦政府调动一切资源，协助州和地方当局调查，并在必要时加强安保。过去一周，联邦、州和地方官员紧密协作，共享信息、迅速追查线索，这对调查至关重要。
They all worked as they should, as a team. And we are extremely grateful for that. We owe a tremendous debt of gratitude to all our outstanding law enforcement professionals. These men and women get up every day, they put on that uniform; they risk their lives to keep us safe -- and as this week showed, they don't always know what to expect. So our thoughts are with those who were wounded in pursuit of the suspects and we pray for their full recovery. 他们像一个团队那样，各尽其职。我们对此深表感谢。我们所有杰出的执法人员都值得我们由衷感激。这些男女警员每天起床、穿上制服，冒着生命危险保护我们；而本周的经历表明，他们并不总能预料接下来会发生什么。我们牵挂着那些在追捕嫌疑人时受伤的人，并祈愿他们早日完全康复。
We also send our prayers to the Collier family who grieve the loss of their son and brother, Sean. "He was born to be a police officer," said his chief at MIT. He was just 26 years old. And as his family has said, he died bravely in the line of duty, doing what he committed his life to doing -- serving and protecting others. So we're grateful to him. 我们也为科利尔一家祈祷。他们正为失去儿子和兄弟肖恩而悲痛。麻省理工学院的警察局长说：“他天生就是当警察的料。”他年仅二十六岁。正如家人所说，他在履行职责时英勇牺牲，做着自己立志终身去做的事：服务他人、保护他人。我们感谢他。
Obviously, tonight there are still many unanswered questions. Among them, why did young men who grew up and studied here, as part of our communities and our country, resort to such violence? How did they plan and carry out these attacks, and did they receive any help? The families of those killed so senselessly deserve answers. The wounded, some of whom now have to learn how to stand and walk and live again, deserve answers. 显然，今晚仍有许多问题没有答案。其中包括：这些在我们的社区和国家长大、求学的年轻人，为什么会诉诸如此暴力的手段？他们如何策划并实施袭击，是否有人协助？那些无辜遇害者的家属理应得到答案。伤者也理应得到答案；他们中有些人如今还要重新学习站立、行走和生活。
And so I've instructed the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security and our intelligence community to continue to deploy all the necessary resources to support the investigation, to collect intelligence, and to protect our citizens. We will determine what happened. We will investigate any associations that these terrorists may have had. And we'll continue to do whatever we have to do to keep our people safe. 因此，我已指示联邦调查局、国土安全部和我们的情报机构继续调动一切必要资源，支持调查、搜集情报、保护公民。我们会查清发生了什么，会调查这些恐怖分子可能存在的任何关联，也会继续采取一切必要措施，保障人民安全。
One thing we do know is that whatever hateful agenda drove these men to such heinous acts will not -- cannot -- prevail. Whatever they thought they could ultimately achieve, they've already failed. They failed because the people of Boston refused to be intimidated. They failed because, as Americans, we refused to be terrorized. They failed because we will not waver from the character and the compassion and the values that define us as a country. Nor will we break the bonds that hold us together as Americans. 有一点我们确实知道：无论是什么仇恨驱使这些人犯下如此骇人的暴行，都不会，也绝不可能得逞。不管他们原本想达到什么目的，他们都已经失败了。他们失败了，因为波士顿人民拒绝被吓倒；他们失败了，因为我们美国人拒绝屈服于恐怖；他们失败了，因为我们不会放弃定义这个国家的品格、同情心与价值观，也不会割断把美国人团结在一起的纽带。
That American spirit includes staying true to the unity and diversity that makes us strong -- like no other nation in the world. In this age of instant reporting and tweets and blogs, there's a temptation to latch on to any bit of information, sometimes to jump to conclusions. But when a tragedy like this happens, with public safety at risk and the stakes so high, it's important that we do this right. That's why we have investigations. That's why we relentlessly gather the facts. That's why we have courts. 美国精神还意味着珍视使我们强大的团结与多元，这在世界上独一无二。在即时报道、推文和博客盛行的时代，人们很容易抓住一条零碎信息，甚至仓促下结论。但发生这样的悲剧时，公共安全受到威胁，事关重大，我们必须把事情办妥。所以我们要开展调查，要不懈地搜集事实，要由法院作出裁断。
And that's why we take care not to rush to judgment -- not about the motivations of these individuals; certainly not about entire groups of people. 也正因如此，我们必须谨慎，不要急于判断：既不要仓促认定这些人的动机，更不能把判断强加于整个群体。
After all, one of the things that makes America the greatest nation on Earth, but also, one of the things that makes Boston such a great city, is that we welcome people from all around the world -- people of every faith, every ethnicity, from every corner of the globe. So as we continue to learn more about why and how this tragedy happened, let's make sure that we sustain that spirit. 毕竟，美国之所以伟大，波士顿之所以是一座伟大的城市，一个重要原因就是我们欢迎来自世界各地、信仰与族裔各不相同的人们。因此，在继续查明这场悲剧的起因和经过时，让我们守护这种精神。
Tonight we think of all the wounded, still struggling to recover. Certainly we think of Krystle Campbell. We think of Lingzi Lu. And we think of little Martin Richard. Their lives reflected all the diversity and beauty of our country, and they were sharing the great American experience together. 今晚，我们想到所有仍在艰难康复的伤者。我们也想到克里斯特尔·坎贝尔、吕令子，还有年幼的马丁·理查德。他们的生命展现了这个国家的多元与美丽；他们共同参与着伟大的美国生活。
Finally, let me say that even as so much attention has been focused on the tragic events in Boston, understandably, we've also seen a tight-knit community in Texas devastated by a terrible explosion. And I want them to know that they are not forgotten. Our thoughts, our prayers are with the people of West, Texas, where so many good people lost their lives; some lost their homes; many are injured; many are still missing. 最后，我想说，波士顿的悲剧受到广泛关注，这是可以理解的；与此同时，得克萨斯州一个紧密团结的社区也遭遇了可怕的爆炸。我希望那里的人知道，我们没有忘记他们。我们的思念与祈祷伴随着得克萨斯州韦斯特镇的居民：许多善良的人失去了生命，有人失去了家园，许多人受伤，还有许多人下落不明。
I've talked to Governor Perry and Mayor Muska and I've pledged that the people of West will have the resources that they need to recover and rebuild. And I want everybody in Texas to know that we will follow through with those commitments. 我已与佩里州长和穆斯卡市长交谈，并承诺韦斯特镇的居民会得到恢复和重建所需的资源。我希望得克萨斯州的每个人都知道，我们一定会兑现承诺。
All in all, this has been a tough week. But we've seen the character of our country once more. And as President, I'm confident that we have the courage and the resilience and the spirit to overcome these challenges -- and to go forward, as one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. 总的来说，这是艰难的一周。但我们再次见证了国家的品格。作为总统，我相信我们有勇气、韧性和精神去克服这些挑战，并作为一个在上帝庇佑下不可分割的国家继续前进，让所有人享有自由与正义。
Thank you very much, everybody. 非常感谢大家。
