奧巴馬復旦演講

　　2009年11月中旬美國總統奧巴馬首次訪華，訪華期間，奧巴馬與中國青年進行交流，在上海復旦大學作了一場15分鐘的演講。下面是小編分享的，一起來看看吧。

　　Nong hao! Good afternoon. It is a great honor for me to be here in Shanghai, and to have this opportunity to speak with all of you. I'd like to thank Fudan University's President Yang for his hospitality and his gracious welcome. I'd also like to thank our outstanding Ambassador, Jon Huntsman, who exemplifies the deep ties and respect between our nati ons. I don't know what he said, but I hope it was good. Laughter.

　　儂好!諸位下午好。我感到很榮幸能夠有機會到上海跟你們交談，我要感謝復旦大學的楊校長，感謝他的款待和熱情的歡迎。我還想感謝我們出色的大使洪博培，他是我們兩國間深厚的紐帶。我不知道他剛才說什麼，但是希望他說得很好。

　　What I'd like to do is to make some opening comments, and then what I'm really looking forward to doing is taking questions, not only from students who are in the audience, but also we've received questions online, which will be asked by some of the students who are here in the audience, as well as by Ambassador Huntsman. And I am very sorry that my Chinese is not as good as your English, but I am looking forward to this chance to have a dialogue.

　　我今天準備這樣，先做一個開場白，我真正希望做的是回答在座的問題，不但回答在座的學生問題，同時還可以從網上得到一些問題，由在座的一些學生和洪博培大使代為提問。很抱歉，我的中文遠不如你們的英文，所以我期待和你們的對話。

　　This is my first time traveling to China, and I'm excited to see this majestic country. Here, in Shanghai, we see the growth that has caught the attention of the world -- the soaring skyscrapers, the bustling streets and entrepreneurial activity. And just as I'm impressed by these signs of China's journey to the 21st century, I'm eager to see those ancient places that speak to us from China's distant past. Tomorrow and the next day I hope to have a chance when I'm in Beijing to see the majesty of the Forbidden City and the wonder of the Great Wall. Truly, this is a nation that encompasses both a rich history and a belief in the promise of the future.

　　這是我首次訪問中國，我看到你們博大的國家，感到很興奮。在上海這裡，我們看到了矚目的增長，高聳的塔樓，繁忙的街道，還有企業家的精神。這些都是中國步入21世紀的跡象，讓我感到讚歎。同時我也急切的要看到向我們展現中國古老的古蹟，明天和後天我要到北京去看雄偉壯麗的故宮和令人歎為觀止的長城，這個國度既有豐富的歷史，又有對未來憧憬的信念。

　　The same can be said of the relationship between our two countries. Shanghai, of course, is a city that has great meaning in the history of the relationship between the United States and China. It was here, 37 years ago, that the Shanghai Communique opened the door to a new chapter of engagement between our governments and among our people.

　　而我們兩國的關係也是如此，上海在美中關係的歷史中是個具有意義的重大城市，在37年前，《上海公報》打開了我們兩國政府和兩國人民接觸交往的新的篇章。

　　However, America's ties to this city -- and to this country -- stretch back further, to the earliest days of America's independence. In 1784, our founding father, George Washington, commissioned the Empress of China, a ship that set sail for these shores so that it could pursue trade with the Qing Dynasty. Washington wanted to see the ship carry the flag around the globe, and to forge new ties with nations like China. This is a common American impulse -- the desire to reach for new horizons, and to forge new partnerships that are mutually beneficial.

　　不過美國與這個國家的紐帶可以追溯更久遠的過去，追溯到美國獨立的初期，喬治?華盛頓組織了皇后號的下水儀式，這個船成功前往大清王朝，華盛頓希望看到這艘船前往各地，與中國結成新的紐帶。希望與中國開闢新的地平線，建立新的夥伴關係。

　　Over the two centuries that have followed, the currents of history have steered the relationship between our countries in many directions. And even in the midst of tumultuous winds, our people had opportunities to forge deep and even dramatic ties. For instance, Americans will never forget the hospitality shown to our pilots who were shot down over your soil during World War II, and cared for by Chinese civilians who risked all that they had by doing so. And Chinese veterans of that war still warmly greet those American veterans who return to the sites where they fought to help liberate China from occupation.

　　在其後的兩個世紀中，歷史洪流使我們兩國關係向許多不同的方向發展，而即使在最動盪的方向中，我們的兩國人民也打造了很深的，甚至有戲劇性的紐帶，比如美國人永遠不會忘記，在二戰期間，美國飛行員在中國上空被擊落後，當地人民對他們的款待，中國公民冒著失去一切的危險保護著他們。而參加二戰的中國老兵仍然歡迎故地重遊的美國老兵，他們在那裡參戰。
