美国总统奥巴马在联合国大会上的讲话

联合国总部

2009年9月23日

Good morning. Mr. President, Mr. Secretary General, fellow delegates, ladies and gentlemen, it is my honor to address you for the first time as the 44th President of the United States. (Applause.) I come before you humbled by the responsibility that the American people have placed upon me, mindful of the enormous challenges of our moment in history, and determined to act boldly and collectively on behalf of justice and prosperity at home and abroad.

早上好。主席先生、秘书长先生、各位代表，女士们、先生们：我荣幸地作为美国第44任总统首次在这里发表讲话。（掌声）站在各位面前，美国人民赋予我的重任令我不胜荣幸；我深知我们这个历史时期所面临的巨大挑战；并决意为了国内外的正义和繁荣而采取大胆的集体行动。

I have been in office for just nine months -- though some days it seems a lot longer. I am well aware of the expectations that accompany my presidency around the world. These expectations are not about me. Rather, they are rooted, I believe, in a discontent with a status uo that has allowed us to be increasingly defined by our differences, and outpaced by our problems. But they are also rooted in hope -- the hope that real change is possible, and the hope that America will be a leader in bringing about such change.

我就任总统只有9个月——但在有些日子里这段时间却显得漫长。我深知全世界对我就任总统的瞩望。在我看来，这些瞩望并非针对我个人，而是植根于一种对现状的不满，因为我们越来越被分歧所左右，疲于应付种种问题。但这些瞩望亦植根于希望——希望真正的变革有可能实现，希望美国在推动这种变革的过程中走在前面。



I took office at a time when many around the world had come to view America with skepticism and distrust. Part of this was due to misperceptions and misinformation about my country. Part of this was due to opposition to specific policies, and a belief that on certain critical issues, America has acted unilaterally, without regard for the interests of others. And this has fed an almost reflexive anti-Americanism, which too often has served as an excuse for collective inaction.

在我就任总统时，全世界有很多人用怀疑和不信任的眼光看待美国，其中部分原因是对我国的误解和信息失实，还有一部分原因是对具体政策的反对，认为美国在某些关键问题上采取单边行动，不考虑他人的利益。这滋长了一种几乎是反射性的反美主义，而这种情绪又往
往成为我们不采取集体行动的借口。 Now, like all of you, my responsibility is to act in the interest of my nation and my people, and I will never apologize for

defending those interests. But it is my deeply held belief that in the year 2009 -- more than at any point in human history -- the interests of nations and peoples are shared. The religious convictions that we hold in our hearts can forge new bonds among people, or they can tear us apart. The technology we harness can light the path to peace, or forever darken it. The energy we use can sustain our planet, or destroy it. What happens to the hope of a single child --
anywhere -- can enrich our world, or impoverish it.

同各位一样，我的职责是采取符合本国和本国人民利益的行动，我绝不会为捍卫这些利益而道歉。但我深深感到，与人类历史上任何一个时期相比，在2009年各个国家及其人民之间都更具有共同的
