Scripture teaches us, 圣经教导我们，
Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. 人最大的爱莫过于此：为朋友舍命。
Glen Doherty never shied from adventure. He believed that, in his life, he could make a difference -- a calling he fulfilled as a Navy SEAL. He served with distinction in Iraq and worked in Afghanistan. And there, in Benghazi, as he tended to others, he laid down his life, loyal as always, protecting his friends. Today, Glen is home. 格伦·多尔蒂从不畏惧冒险。他相信在自己的一生中可以有所作为——这一使命他作为海军海豹突击队员得以实现。他在伊拉克表现出色，并在阿富汗工作。在班加西，当他照顾他人时，他献出了自己的生命，一如既往地忠诚，保护着他的朋友。今天，格伦回家了。
Tyrone Woods devoted 20 years of his life to the SEALs -- the consummate "quiet professional." At the Salty Frog Bar, they might not have known, but "Rone" also served in Iraq and Afghanistan. And there, in Benghazi, he was far from Dorothy and Tyrone Jr., Hunter and little Kai. And he laid down his life, as he would have for them, protecting his friends. And today, Rone is home. 蒂龙·伍兹将二十年的生命奉献给了海豹突击队——典型的"沉默的专业人士"。在咸蛙酒吧，人们也许不知道，但"罗恩"也曾在伊拉克和阿富汗服役。在班加西，他远离了多萝西、小蒂龙、亨特和小凯。他献出了自己的生命，正如他会为他们那样，保护着他的朋友。今天，罗恩回家了。
Sean Smith, it seems, lived to serve -- first, in the Air Force, then, with you at the State Department. He knew the perils of this calling from his time in Baghdad. And there, in Benghazi, far from home, he surely thought of Heather and Samantha and Nathan. And he laid down his life in service to us all. Today, Sean is home. 肖恩·史密斯似乎生来就是为了服务——首先在空军，然后与你们一起在国务院。他从在巴格达的经历中深知这一使命的危险。在班加西，远离家乡，他一定想到了希瑟、萨曼莎和内森。他为服务我们所有人而献出了生命。今天，肖恩回家了。
Chris Stevens was everything America could want in an ambassador, as the whole country has come to see -- how he first went to the region as a young man in the Peace Corps, how during the revolution, he arrived in Libya on that cargo ship, how he believed in Libya and its people and how they loved him back. And there, in Benghazi, he laid down his life for his friends -- Libyan and American -- and for us all. Today, Chris is home. 克里斯·史蒂文斯具备美国对大使所期望的一切品质，正如全国人民所看到的那样——他年轻时如何作为和平队志愿者首次前往该地区，革命期间如何乘货船抵达利比亚，他如何相信利比亚及其人民，而他们又如何回报以爱。在班加西，他为了朋友——利比亚人和美国人——以及我们所有人献出了生命。今天，克里斯回家了。
Four Americans, four patriots -- they loved this country and they chose to serve it, and served it well. They had a mission and they believed in it. They knew the danger and they accepted it. They didn't simply embrace the American ideal, they lived it. They embodied it -- the courage, the hope and, yes, the idealism, that fundamental American belief that we can leave this world a little better than before. That's who they were and that's who we are. And if we want to truly honor their memory, that's who we must always be. 四名美国人，四位爱国者——他们热爱这个国家，选择为它服务，并且表现出色。他们有使命，并且坚信这一使命。他们知道危险的存在，并且接受了它。他们不仅仅是拥抱美国理想，他们践行了它。他们体现了它——勇气、希望，是的，还有理想主义，那种基本的美国信念，即我们可以让这个世界比从前更好一点。这就是他们，这也是我们。如果我们想真正纪念他们，这就是我们必须永远坚守的。
I know that this awful loss, the terrible images of recent days, the pictures we're seeing again today, have caused some to question this work. And there is no doubt these are difficult days. In moments such as this -- so much anger and violence -- even the most hopeful among us must wonder. 我知道这可怕的损失、近期可怕的画面、我们今天再次看到的照片，让一些人开始质疑这项工作。毫无疑问，这是艰难的日子。在这样的时刻——如此多的愤怒和暴力——即使我们中最有希望的人也会产生疑虑。
But amid all of the images of this week, I also think of the Libyans who took to the streets with homemade signs expressing their gratitude to an American who believed in what we could achieve together. I think of the man in Benghazi with his sign in English, a message he wanted all of us to hear that said, "Chris Stevens was a friend to all Libyans. Chris Stevens was a friend." 但在本周所有的画面中，我也想到了那些走上街头、举着自制标语表达对一个相信我们共同成就的美国人感激之情的利比亚人。我想到了班加西那个举着英文标语的人，他想让我们所有人听到这样一个信息："克里斯·史蒂文斯是所有利比亚人的朋友。克里斯·史蒂文斯是一位朋友。"
That's the message these four patriots sent. That's the message that each of you sends every day -- civilians, military -- to people in every corner of the world, that America is a friend, and that we care not just about our own country, not just about our own interests, but about theirs; that even as voices of suspicion and mistrust seek to divide countries and cultures from one another, the United States of America will never retreat from the world. We will never stop working for the dignity and freedom that every person deserves, whatever their creed, whatever their faith. 这就是这四位爱国者传递的信息。这就是你们每个人每天传递的信息——文职人员、军事人员——传递给世界每个角落的人们：美国是朋友，我们关心的不仅是自己的国家、不仅是自己的利益，还有他们的利益；即使那些猜疑和不信任的声音试图在国家与文化之间制造分裂，美利坚合众国也永远不会从世界上退缩。我们永远不会停止为每个人应得的尊严和自由而奋斗，无论他们的信条和信仰如何。
That's the essence of American leadership. That's the spirit that sets us apart from other nations. This was their work in Benghazi, and this is the work we will carry on. 这就是美国领导力的本质。这就是使我们与其他国家不同的精神。这是他们在班加西的工作，这也是我们将继续的事业。
To you -- their families and colleagues -- to all Americans, know this: Their sacrifice will never be forgotten. We will bring to justice those who took them from us. We will stand fast against the violence on our diplomatic missions. We will continue to do everything in our power to protect Americans serving overseas, whether that means increasing security at our diplomatic posts, working with host countries, which have an obligation to provide security, and making it clear that justice will come to those who harm Americans. 对你们——他们的家人和同事——对所有美国人，请知道这一点：他们的牺牲永远不会被遗忘。我们将把夺走他们的人绳之以法。我们将坚定抵御针对我国外交使团的暴力。我们将继续竭尽所能保护在海外服务的美国人，无论是加强外交机构的安全措施，与有义务提供安全保护的所在国合作，还是明确表明，伤害美国人的人将受到正义的审判。
Most of all, even in our grief, we will be resolute. For we are Americans, and we hold our head high knowing that because of these patriots -- because of you -- this country that we love will always shine as a light unto the world. 最重要的是，即使在悲痛之中，我们也将坚定不移。因为我们是美国人，我们高昂着头，深知因为这些爱国者——因为你们——我们深爱的这个国家将永远作为世界之光闪耀。
Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. 人最大的爱莫过于此：为朋友舍命。
The flag they served under now carries them home. 他们曾为之效力的旗帜如今将他们带回家。
May God bless the memory of these men who laid down their lives for us all. 愿上帝保佑这些为我们所有人献出生命的人的记忆。
May God watch over your families and all who loved them 愿上帝看顾你们的家人和所有爱他们的人
And may God bless these United States of America. 愿上帝保佑美利坚合众国。
