All right everybody, please have a seat. 好了各位，请坐。
My fellow Americans, Mahalo! It is wonderful to be here at the White House Correspondents' Dinner. What a week. As some of you heard, the state of Hawaii released my official long-form birth certificate. 我的美国同胞们，你好！很高兴来到白宫记者协会晚宴。多么精彩的一周。你们有些人已经听说了，夏威夷州公布了我官方的详细版出生证明。
Hopefully this puts all doubts to rest. But just in case there are any lingering questions, tonight I'm prepared to go a step further. Tonight, for the first time, I am releasing my official birth video. 希望这能消除所有疑虑。但万一还有任何挥之不去的问题，今晚我准备更进一步。今晚，我第一次公布我的官方出生视频。
Now, I warn you -- no one has seen this footage in 50 years, not even me. But let's take a look. 现在，我要警告你们——这段影像50年来没有人见过，连我自己也没看过。但我们来看看吧。
Oh, well. Back to square one. I want to make clear to the Fox News table: That was a joke. That was not my real birth video. That was a children's cartoon. Call Disney if you don't believe me. They have the original long-form version. 哦，好吧。回到原点。我想向福克斯新闻的桌位明确说明：那是个玩笑。那不是我真正的出生视频。那是一部儿童卡通片。不信的话去问迪士尼。他们有原始的详细版。
Anyway, it's good to be back with so many esteemed guests. Celebrities. Senators. Journalists. Essential government employees. Non-essential government employees. You know who you are. 总之，很高兴回到这里，与这么多尊贵的客人在一起。名人。参议员。记者。核心政府雇员。非核心政府雇员。你们自己心里有数。
I am very much looking forward to hearing Seth Meyers tonight. He's a young, fresh face who can do no wrong in the eyes of his fans. Seth, enjoy it while it lasts. 我非常期待今晚赛斯·迈尔斯的表演。他是一个年轻、清新的面孔，在粉丝眼中不会犯错。赛斯，趁现在好好享受吧。
Yes, I think it is fair to say that when it comes to my presidency, the honeymoon is over. For example, some people now suggest that I'm too professorial. And I'd like to address that head-on, by assigning all of you some reading that will help you draw your own conclusions. Others say that I'm arrogant. But I've found a really great self-help tool for this: my poll numbers. 是的，我想公平地说，就我的总统任期而言，蜜月期已经结束了。例如，有些人现在说我太学究气了。我想正面回应这个问题，给你们布置一些阅读材料，帮助你们自己得出结论。还有人说我傲慢。但我找到了一个很好的自助工具：我的民调数字。
I've even let down my key core constituency: movie stars. Just the other day, Matt Damon -- I love Matt Damon, love the guy -- Matt Damon said he was disappointed in my performance. Well, Matt, I just saw "The Adjustment Bureau," so -- right back atcha, buddy. 我甚至让我核心支持者失望了：电影明星们。就在前几天，马特·达蒙——我喜欢马特·达蒙，非常喜欢这家伙——马特·达蒙说他对我的表现感到失望。嗯，马特，我刚看了《命运规划局》，所以——原话奉还，伙计。
Of course, there's someone who I can always count on for support: my wonderful wife Michelle. We made a terrific team at the Easter Egg Roll this week. I'd give out bags of candy to the kids, and she'd snatch them right back out of their little hands. Snatched them. 当然，有一个人我永远可以依靠她的支持：我美丽的妻子米歇尔。这周我们在复活节彩蛋活动中配合得非常出色。我给孩子们发糖果袋，她立刻从他们的小手里抢回来。直接抢走。
And where is the National Public Radio table? You guys are still here? That's good. I couldn't remember where we landed on that. Now, I know you were a little tense when the GOP tried to cut your funding, but personally I was looking forward to new programming like "No Things Considered" -- or "Wait, Wait...Don't Fund Me." 国家公共广播电台的桌位在哪里？你们还在？那就好。我不记得我们最后怎么处理的了。我知道当共和党试图削减你们的经费时你们有点紧张，但我个人很期待新的节目，比如"无事可报"——或者"等等，等等……别拨我的款"。
Of course, the deficit is a serious issue. That's why Paul Ryan couldn't be here tonight. His budget has no room for laughter. 当然，赤字是个严肃的问题。这就是为什么保罗·瑞安今晚不能来。他的预算里没有笑声的空间。
Michele Bachmann is here, though, I understand, and she is thinking about running for President, which is weird because I hear she was born in Canada. Yes, Michele, this is how it starts. Just letting you know. 不过米歇尔·巴赫曼来了，我理解，她正在考虑竞选总统，这很奇怪，因为我听说她出生在加拿大。是的，米歇尔，事情就是这样开始的。只是提醒你。
Tim Pawlenty? He seems all American. But have you heard his real middle name? Tim "Hosni" Pawlenty? What a shame. 蒂姆·波伦蒂？他看起来完全是美国人。但你听说过他真正的中间名吗？蒂姆·"穆巴拉克"·波伦蒂？真遗憾。
My buddy, our outstanding ambassador, Jon Huntsman, is with us. Now, there's something you might not know about Jon. He didn't learn to speak Chinese to go there. Oh, no. He learned English to come here. 我的好朋友，我们杰出的大使洪博培今晚也在场。有件事你可能不知道。他学中文不是为了去那里。不，他学英文是为了来这里。
And then there's a vicious rumor floating around that I think could really hurt Mitt Romney. I heard he passed universal health care when he was governor of Massachusetts. Someone should get to the bottom of that. 然后有一个恶意谣言在流传，我觉得可能会真正伤害米特·罗姆尼。我听说他在当马萨诸塞州州长时通过了全民医保。应该有人去查清楚这件事。
And I know just the guy to do it -- Donald Trump is here tonight! Now, I know that he's taken some flak lately, but no one is happier, no one is prouder to put this birth certificate matter to rest than the Donald. And that's because he can finally get back to focusing on the issues that matter -- like, did we fake the moon landing? What really happened in Roswell? And where are Biggie and Tupac? 我知道谁最适合做这件事——唐纳德·特朗普今晚在这里！我知道他最近受到了一些批评，但没有人比特朗普更高兴、更自豪地看到这个出生证明问题得到解决。因为他终于可以重新关注真正重要的问题了——比如，我们是否伪造了登月？罗斯威尔到底发生了什么？比基和图帕克在哪里？
But all kidding aside, obviously, we all know about your credentials and breadth of experience. For example -- no, seriously, just recently, in an episode of Celebrity Apprentice -- at the steakhouse, the men's cooking team did not impress the judges from Omaha Steaks. And there was a lot of blame to go around. But you, Mr. Trump, recognized that the real problem was a lack of leadership. And so ultimately, you didn't blame Lil' Jon or Meatloaf. You fired Gary Busey. And these are the kind of decisions that would keep me up at night. Well handled, sir. Well handled. 但说真的，我们都知道你的资历和丰富的经验。比如——不，说真的，最近在一期《名人学徒》中——在牛排馆，男子烹饪团队没有打动奥马哈牛排的评委们。有很多可以推卸责任的地方。但你，特朗普先生，认识到真正的问题是缺乏领导力。所以最终，你没有责怪里尔·乔恩或肉卷。你解雇了加里·布西。这些决定会让我夜不能寐。处理得好，先生。处理得好。
Say what you will about Mr. Trump, he certainly would bring some change to the White House. Let's see what we've got up there. 不管你怎么评价特朗普先生，他确实会给白宫带来一些改变。让我们看看上面有什么。
So, yes, this has been quite a year in politics, but also in the movies. Many people, for instance, were inspired by the King's Speech. It's a wonderful film. Well, some of you may not know this, but there's now a sequel in the works that touches close to home. And because this is a Hollywood crowd, tonight I can offer a sneak peek. So can we show the trailer, please? 所以，是的，这是政治上相当不平凡的一年，电影界也是如此。很多人，比如，受到了《国王的演讲》的启发。这是一部精彩的电影。你们可能不知道，现在有一部续集正在制作中，内容与我们息息相关。因为这是好莱坞的人群，今晚我可以提供一个抢先看。我们能放一下预告片吗？
Coming to a theater near you. 即将在您附近的影院上映。
Let me close on a serious note. We are having a good time, but as has been true for the last several years, we have incredible young men and women who are serving in uniform overseas in the most extraordinary of circumstances. And we are reminded of their courage and their valor. 让我以严肃的话题结束。我们今晚过得很愉快，但正如过去几年一样，我们有令人难以置信的年轻人在海外穿着军装服役，处于最非凡的环境中。我们铭记他们的勇气和英勇。
We also need to remember our neighbors in Alabama and across the South that have been devastated by terrible storms from last week. Michelle and I were down there yesterday, and we've spent a lot of time with some of the folks who have been affected. The devastation is unimaginable and is heartbreaking and it's going to be a long road back. And so we need to keep those Americans in our thoughts and in our prayers. But we also need to stand with them in the hard months and perhaps years to come. 我们还需要记住阿拉巴马州和南方各地的邻居们，他们上周遭受了可怕的风暴的摧残。米歇尔和我昨天去了那里，我们花了很多时间与一些受灾群众在一起。破坏是难以想象的，令人心碎，恢复之路漫长。所以我们需要在心中和祈祷中牵挂着这些美国人。但我们还需要在未来的艰难月份甚至岁月中与他们站在一起。
I intend to make sure that the federal government does that. And I've got faith that the journalists in this room will do their part for the people who have been affected by this disaster -- by reporting on their progress, and letting the rest of America know when they will need more help. Those are stories that need telling. And that's what all of you do best, whether it's rushing to the site of a devastating storm in Alabama, or braving danger to cover a revolution in the Middle East. 我打算确保联邦政府做到这一点。我也有信心，在座的记者们会为受这场灾难影响的人们尽自己的一份力——报道他们的进展，让美国其他地方知道他们何时需要更多帮助。这些是需要讲述的故事。这就是你们所有人最擅长的事情，无论是赶赴阿拉巴马州毁灭性风暴的现场，还是冒着危险报道中东的革命。
You know, in the last months, we've seen journalists threatened, arrested, beaten, attacked, and in some cases even killed simply for doing their best to bring us the story, to give people a voice, and to hold leaders accountable. And through it all, we've seen daring men and women risk their lives for the simple idea that no one should be silenced, and everyone deserves to know the truth. 你们知道，在过去的几个月里，我们看到记者受到威胁、逮捕、殴打、攻击，甚至在某些情况下被杀害，仅仅是因为他们尽力为我们带来故事，给人们发声的机会，让领导者承担责任。在这一切中，我们看到勇敢的男人和女人冒着生命危险，只为一个简单的信念：没有人应该被沉默，每个人都值得知道真相。
That's what you do. At your best that's what journalism is. That's the principle that you uphold. It is always important, but it's especially important in times of challenge, like the moment that America and the world is facing now. 这就是你们所做的。在你们最好的时候，这就是新闻工作的真谛。这就是你们所坚守的原则。它在任何时候都很重要，但在充满挑战的时刻尤为重要，就像美国和世界现在所面临的时刻。
So I thank you for your service and the contributions that you make. And I want to close by recognizing not only your service, but also to remember those that have been lost as a consequence of the extraordinary reporting that they've done over recent weeks. They help, too, to defend our freedoms and allow democracy to flourish. 所以我感谢你们的服务和贡献。我想以这样的方式结束：不仅承认你们的服务，还要纪念那些在最近几周的卓越报道中失去生命的人。他们也在帮助捍卫我们的自由，让民主繁荣昌盛。
God bless you, and may God bless the United States of America. 上帝保佑你们，上帝保佑美利坚合众国。
