总统先生，
奥巴马夫人，
女士们，先生们，朋友们：
很高兴应奥巴马总统邀请，在一元复始的时节来到华盛顿，对美国进行国事访问。此时此刻，我谨代表13亿中国人民，向美国人民致以诚挚的问候和良好的祝愿!
我这次访问美国，是为增进互信、加强友谊、深化合作、推动21世纪积极合作全面的中美关系继续向前发展而来。

在21世纪第二个十年开始之际，中美两国人民都期待中美关系发展得更好，各国人民都期待世界发展得更好。面对新形势新挑战，中美两国拥有广泛的共同利益，肩负着重要的共同责任。我们应该登高望远、求同存异，共同推动中美关系长期健康稳定发展。我希望通过这次访问，推进积极合作全面的中美关系，开启两国伙伴合作新篇章。
——中美伙伴合作应该基于相互尊重。我们生活在一个越来越丰富多彩的世界之中。中美两国要尊重彼此对发展道路的选择，尊重对方核心利益，通过沟通加深了解，通过对话增进互信，通过交流扩大共识。
——中美伙伴合作应该基于互利共赢。中国的前途命运日益紧密地同世界的前途命运联系在一起，中美交往更加紧密，交流互鉴应该成为我们的共同选择，合作共赢应该成为我们的相处之道。
——中美伙伴合作应该基于共迎挑战。中美两国应该就国际事务加强沟通和协调，合作应对各种全球性挑战，为世界和平与发展作出更大贡献。
——中美伙伴合作应该基于人民广泛参与。中美两国人民相互怀有深厚的友好感情，曾经在决定人类前途命运的重大历史关头并肩战斗。两国人民应该扩大交往、加强友谊，为中美关系发展提供不竭动力。 女士们、先生们!
当今世界正处在大发展大变革大调整时期，求和平、谋发展、促合作已经成为不可阻挡的时代潮流。让我们抓住机遇、携手前行，共同加强中美伙伴合作，同世界各国一道推动建设持久和平、共同繁荣的和谐世界。
再次感谢总统先生对我们的热烈欢迎
PRESIDENT HU: (As translated.) Mr. President, Mrs. Obama, ladies and gentlemen, dear friends, it gives me great pleasure to come to Washington and pay a state visit to the United States at the beginning of the new year, at the invitation of President Obama. At this point in time, let me extend, on behalf of the 1.3 billion Chinese people, sincere greetings and best wishes to the people of the United States.
I have come to the United States to increase mutual trust, enhance friendship, deepen cooperation, and push forward the positive, cooperative, and comprehensive China-U.S. relationship for the 21st century.
Over the past 32 years, since the establishment of diplomatic ties, the China-U.S. relationship has grown into one with strategic significance and global influence. Since President Obama took office, with concerted efforts of the two sides, our cooperation in various fields has produced fruitful results and our relations have achieved new progress. This has brought real benefits to our two peoples, and contributed greatly to world peace and development.
As we enter the second decade of the 21st century, the people of both China and the United States want to see further progress in our relations and people around the globe want to see greater prosperity in the world. Under the new circumstances, and in the face of new challenges, China and the United States share broad common interests and important common responsibilities.
We should adopt a long-term perspective, seek common ground while resolving differences, and work together to achieve sustained, sound, and steady development of our relations. I hope that through this visit, our two countries will advance the positive, cooperative, and comprehensive relationship, and open a new chapter in our cooperation as partners.
Our cooperation as partners should be based on mutual respect. We live in an increasingly diverse and colorful world. China and the United States should respect each other’s choice of development path and each other’s core interests. We should deepen mutual understanding through communication, increase mutual trust through dialogue, and expand common ground through exchanges.
Our cooperation as partners should be based on mutual benefit. China’s future and destiny are increasingly tied to those of the world and China-U.S. relations have become closer. Our two countries should seek to learn from each other through exchanges and achieve win-win progress through cooperation. This is the right approach for us to develop our relations.
Our cooperation as partners should be based on joint efforts to meet challenges. China and the United States should step up communication and coordination in international affairs, work together to counter the global challenges, and make a greater contribution to world peace and development.
Our cooperation as partners should be based on the extensive involvement of the people. The Chinese and American people cherish deep friendship towards each other, and they fought side by side at defining moments in history when the future and the destiny of mankind were at stake. The two peoples should extend exchanges and enhance friendship. This will offer a inexhaustible driving force for the growth of our relations.
Ladies and gentlemen, our world today is undergoing major development, major changes and major adjustments. To pursue peace, development and cooperation is the irresistible trend of our time. Let us seize the opportunity to forge ahead, hand in hand, and work together to enhance cooperation as partners, and let us work with all other countries to build a harmonious world of lasting peace and common prosperity.
Thank you once again, Mr. President, for your warm welcome. (Applause.)
PRESIDENT OBAMA: Thank you very much. Thank you.
奥巴马欢迎词
各位早上好。尊敬的胡锦涛主席，尊敬的各位中国代表团成员，我谨代表米歇尔和我本人欢迎各位来到白宫。同时我代表美国人民，欢迎各位来到美国。
三十年前，也是在寒冷的一月，另一位美国总统卡特站在这里，欢迎中国领导人邓小平的到来。那次会面是一个历史性的突破，美中实现了两国邦交正常化。就在那一天，邓小平谈到了美中两国之间相互合作的巨大可能。
此刻回顾1979年的那个冬日，我们已然明了。在那之前的30年，美中两国隔阂疏远。而自那以来的30年，两国不断增进交流与理解。此次胡锦涛主席访美之行则是我们双方为未来三十年奠定基础的契机。
在美中合作的裨益遭到质疑之际，这次会面也是一个很好的机会，可以展示一个简单的道理。我们双方都从彼此的成功中获益良多。在一个相互联系的世界，在经济全球化的时代，包括美中两国在内的世界各国会因彼此合作而更加繁荣、安全。
美国欢迎中国崛起，成为国际社会强大、繁荣、成功的一员。事实上，中国的成功为中美两国人民带来了巨大的经济利益，中美两国在一系列问题上的合作有助于维护亚太地区乃至全球的和平稳定。
我们也都知道：历史表明，当所有国家、所有人民的权利得以保障、义务得以履行，当每个人的普遍权利得到维护，社会将更加和谐，国家更加成功，世界更加公正。
尊敬的胡锦涛主席，我们可以向两国人民学习。中美两国的学生和教育工作者、商人、旅行者、研究人员、科学家，也包括今天到场的华裔美国人，他们携手合作，每一天都取得共同进步。他们知道，即使中美两国在某些领域存在竞争，他们依然可以在其它领域，以相互尊重的精神，互惠互利的共识来携手合作。
邓小平多年前说过的话在今天依然适用。中美两国依然存在巨大的合作空间。尊敬的胡锦涛主席和中国代表团成员，让我们共同把握机会。欢迎来到美利坚合众国。欢迎(中文)。
PRESIDENT OBAMA: Good morning, everyone.President Hu, members of the Chinese delegation, on behalf of Michelle and myself, welcome to the White House. And on behalf of the American people, welcome to the United States.
Three decades ago, on a January day like this, another American President stood here and welcomed another Chinese leader for the historic normalization of relations between the United States and the People’s Republic of China. On that day, Deng Xiaoping spoke of the great possibilities of cooperation between our two nations.
Looking back on that winter day in 1979, it is now clear. The previous 30 years had been a time of estrangement for our two countries. The 30 years since have been a time of growing exchanges and understanding. And with this visit we can lay the foundation for the next 30 years.
At a time when some doubt the benefits of cooperation between the United States and China, this visit is also a chance to demonstrate a simple truth. We have an enormous stake in each other’s success. In an interconnected world, in a global economy, nations -- including our own -- will be more prosperous and more secure when we work together.
The United States welcomes China’s rise as a strong, prosperous and successful member of the community of nations. Indeed, China’s success has brought with it economic benefits for our people as well as yours, and our cooperation on a range of issues has helped advance stability in the Asia Pacific and in the world.
We also know this: History shows that societies are more harmonious, nations are more successful, and the world is more just, when the rights and responsibilities of all nations and all people are upheld, including the universal rights of every human being.
Mr. President, we can learn from our people. Chinese and American students and educators, business people, tourists, researchers and scientists, including Chinese Americans who are here today —- they work together and make progress together every single day. They know that even as our nations compete in some areas, we can cooperate in so many others, in a spirit of mutual respect, for our mutual benefit.
What Deng Xiaoping said long ago remains true today. There are still great possibilities for cooperation between our countries. President Hu, members of the Chinese delegation, let us seize these possibilities together. Welcome to the United States of America. Hwan-ying. (Applause.)

第三篇：奥巴马每周电视讲话(2月12日)
Weekly Address: “It’s Time Washington Acted as Responsibly
奥巴马每周电视讲话(2月12日)
Remarks of President Barack Obama
As Prepared for Delivery
February 12, 2011 Washington, DC
A few months ago, I received a letter from a woman named Brenda Breece. I wanted to share her story because it speaks to what a lot of families are going through – and it offers a good example of the kind of responsibility that’s needed in Washington right now.
Brenda is a mom and a special-ed teacher from Missouri. Her husband, David, was employed at the local Chrysler plant for nearly four decades. They’ve worked hard their whole lives. But like a lot of folks, they’ve taken some hits over the past few years. When the Chrysler plant closed, David had to take early retirement. His pension helps, but it’s half of what he earned before. Meanwhile, because of budget cuts, Brenda has had to buy school supplies for her students out of her own pocket – because it’s her job and she cares about those kids.
Money has been tight, but they are doing the best they can. And like so many families, they are sacrificing what they don’t need so they can afford what really matters. This is what Brenda told me. “I feel my family is frugal,” she said. “We go to the movies…once a month, but usually we just wait for them to come out on TV… I watch the food budget… We combine trips into town [and] use coupons … and we trim each other’s hair when we need a haircut.”
So Brenda and her husband know what they can do without. But they also know what investments are too important to sacrifice. Their daughter, Rachel, is a sophomore in college with a 4.0 grade point average. The tuition is a big expense. But it’s worth it, because it will give her the chance to achieve her dreams. In fact, Brenda is looking for a second job to ensure, as she told me, “the money is there to help Rachel with her future.”
Families across this country understand what it takes to manage a budget. They understand what it takes to make ends meet without forgoing important investments like education. Well, it’s time Washington acted as responsibly as our families do. And on Monday, I’m proposing a new budget that will help us live within our means while investing in our future.
My budget freezes annual domestic spending for the next five years – even on programs I care deeply about – which will reduce the deficit by more than $400 billion over the next decade. This freeze will bring this type of spending to its lowest level as a share of the economy since Dwight Eisenhower was president. We’ve stripped down the budget by getting rid of waste. For example, we’re getting rid of thousands of government-owned buildings that sit empty because they aren’t needed. I’ve also proposed freezing salaries for hardworking government employees, because everyone has to do their part. And I’m going to make sure politics doesn’t add to our deficit, by vetoing any bill that contains earmarks.
And yet, just as the Breece family is making difficult sacrifices while still investing in the future – by helping their daughter pay her tuition – my budget does the same. I’m proposing that we invest in what will do the most to grow the economy in the years to come. This means job-creating investments in roads, high-speed speed trains, and broadband. This means cutting-edge research that holds the promise of creating countless jobs and whole new industries, like clean energy and biotechnology. And it means improving our schools and making college more affordable – to give every young person the chance to fulfill his or her potential, and receive the job training they need to succeed. Because it would be a mistake to balance the budget by sacrificing our children’s education. So, after a decade of rising deficits, this budget asks Washington to live within its means, while at the same time investing in our future. It cuts what we can’t afford to pay for what we cannot do without. That’s what families do in hard times. And that’s what our country has to do too.
Thank you.
第四篇：奥巴马在911纪念仪式上的讲话
《圣经》告诉我们，哭泣可能会持续整夜，但欢乐会在清晨到来。
十年前，美国经历了最黑暗的一个夜晚。雄伟的高楼坍塌了，五角大楼升起滚滚黑烟，飞机残骸在宾夕法尼亚州燃烧。好友近邻们，兄弟姐妹们，父亲母亲们，孩子们，他们从我们身边被带走了，如此迅速和残酷地离开了我们，让我们悲痛万分。2001年9月12日，当我们醒来时，面对的是一个新的世界，邪恶离我们更近，对未知的恐惧笼罩着我们的未来。
之后的十年，美国人民改变了很多。我们懂得了战争和衰退，我们懂得了激烈的争辩和政治分歧。我们永远无法唤回那天逝去的生命，或是那些在后来的战争中英勇献身的美国人。
但是在今天，我们应该铭记的是那些未曾改变的东西。我们国家的性格没有改变。我们的信念并没有变，我们始终相信上帝、并彼此信任。我们这个国家抱着永恒的理想，我们坚信人人都应该自律，人人生来平等并享有同等的决定自己命运的自由。这一信念经受住了无数考验，现在更是坚不可摧。
过去的十年表明，美国没有向恐惧妥协。救援人员赶往现场，消防员冲上大楼，机上乘客与歹徒搏斗，这些爱国者们证明了什么叫做勇敢。十年来，我们也看到了英雄主义更低调的一种表现形式：失去那么多战友的消防队依然每天整装待发挽救生命，被摧毁的企业得到重建，受伤的幸存者重新振作起来，遇难者家属开始了新的生活。
今年春天，我收到了一位叫苏珊娜•斯万(Suzanne Swaine)的女士的来信。她在双子塔的灾难中失去了丈夫和兄弟。她说，“那么多骄傲的瞬间被剥夺了，父亲原本可以看到孩子们毕业，看到她们在长曲棍球比赛中得分，看到她们在学业上取得佳绩”。这位女士有两个女儿在上大学，还有一个女儿在上高中并且表现很好。她在信中写道，“十年来，我一直一个人养育三个女儿;她们的自强和坚韧让我无比骄傲”。这一家人的精神就是所有美国家庭的写照。这些女孩充满希望的未来就是对杀害她们父亲的可恶凶手最有力的回击。
过去这十年展示了美国保护公民、维护美国生活方式的决心。外交官们背井离乡驻守远方，情报人员默默无闻不知疲倦地工作。911后有200万美国人参与了战争。这些人证明，那些伤害了我们的人无法逃脱正义的审判，不论他们藏在何处。事实上，保卫美国的并不是征召的士兵，而是自愿服役的公民，他们是毕业便直接入伍的年轻人，他们是国民警卫队士兵和后备役军人，他们是工人和商人，他们是移民和第四代士兵。他们放弃舒适的生活，坚持两期、三期、四期或五期超期服役。他们中的很多人从此再也没有回来。即便是平安回来的人，他们也背负着远方的黑暗记忆，以及对逝去战友的永恒怀念。
这些军人及其家属所做的牺牲提醒我们，战争的代价是巨大的，虽然他们对国家的贡献充满荣耀，战争本身却绝不光荣。十年间，我们的军队被派到了很多美国人闻所未闻的地方：坎大哈和喀布尔，摩苏尔和巴士拉。但我们的强大并不是用驻军能力来衡量的，而是体现在我们把这些地方留给自由人民和主权政府的决心上，以及我们要结束十年战争、迎接和平未来的愿望上。
这十年表明，我们一直在坚持各项自由权利。没错，对威胁我们的人我们提高了警惕，而我们的一般性防御也带来了种种麻烦。有关战争与和平、安全与公民自由的讨论常常是激烈的。但正是这些讨论的激烈程度和以符合我们价值观的方式化解这些争论的能力才是我们的力量所在。此外，美国开放的市场仍向创新者提供发明创造的机会，美国人仍可以自由地直抒胸臆，我们的灵魂仍在教堂、佛教寺院、犹太教堂和清真寺中得到净化和提升。
过去的这十年凸显出全体美国人之间的凝聚力。我们没有陷入猜忌和怀疑中不可自拔。911发生后，小布什总统曾明确表示过：美国永远不会向伊斯兰教或任何其它宗教发动战争。这也是我们今天要重申的观点。人们从世界各地移民来到美国。无论是在美国的大都市还是小城镇，无论是在学校还是在工作场所，仍然可以看到肤色、宗教和种族各不相同的人们汇聚在这里，大家都宣誓忠于一面国旗，所有人都为了实现共同的美国梦──合众为一。
过去这十年讲述了一个关于不屈不挠精神的故事。五角大楼得到了修复，爱国者在那里为了共同的目标而努力工作。在尚克斯维尔，当地居民和那些在这里失去了自己至亲的家庭结下了友谊。纽约仍是一个生机勃勃的艺术、工业、时尚和商业之都。在世界贸易中心曾经
屹立的地方，一座新建大厦拔地而起，在阳光下熠熠生辉。美国人仍在摩天大楼中工作，体育场里挤满了运动爱好者，公园里到处都是玩球的孩童。我们的机场呈现出一片繁忙景象，我们的巴士和地铁运送数百万旅客奔赴目的地。到了周日晚上，全家人一起坐下来享受晚餐，孩子们则为第二天上学做准备。在这片土地上，既有人们准备奔赴远途的乐观，也有为了人类自由而牺牲的勇气。
几十年后，美国人会来参观这些纪念碑以悼念那些911的遇难者。他们的手指会掠过那些我们曾经深爱着的、现如今被刻入大理石和石碑的亲友的名字，并对这些人的生活感到好奇。站在阿灵顿国家公墓白色的墓碑前，在美国各地小城镇的广场上举办的宁静的纪念仪式上，他们会向那些在阿富汗和伊拉克战争中阵亡的人致敬，他们会在桥梁和雕塑上、在花园和学校里看到逝者的名字。
他们会知道，没有什么可以击垮真正代表美利坚合众国的意志。他们会记得，我们一路走过了奴隶制和南北战争，见证了排队领面包的队伍和法西斯主义，经历了经济衰退和**，也征服了共产主义和恐怖主义。有人会提醒他们说，美国并不完美，但美国的民主是久经考验的，这种民主反映出人类的不完美，但同时也让我们有机会改善我们的国家。在举国悼念的日子里，我们引以为荣的就是这些永不磨灭的美国历史和推动我们合众为
一、向前迈进的决心。
911遗产不止于纪念碑，还有那些走向火海的消防员、报名参军的士兵、合力建造新楼的工人、临危不惧的公民以及实现了父母梦想的子女。我们坚守信仰、遭到沉重打击并变得更为坚强的故事将流传给后人。
“哭泣可能会持续整夜，但欢乐会在清晨到来。”
以公正的上帝作为我们的向导，让我们向那些逝者致敬，努力为实践那些令我们国家卓尔不群的精神而奋斗，让我们满怀希望畅想未来。愿上帝保佑我们对逝者的追忆，保佑美利坚合众国。
第五篇：奥巴马电视讲话太阳能新能源
奥巴马关于太阳能与新能源的电视讲话：
Over the past twenty months, we’ve been fighting not just to create more jobs today, but to rebuild our economy on a stronger foundation. Our future as a nation depends on making sure that the jobs and industries of the 21st century take root here in America. And there is perhaps no industry with more potential to create jobs now – and growth in the coming years – than clean energy.
For decades, we’ve talked about the importance of ending our dependence on foreign oil and pursuing new kinds of energy, like wind and solar power. But for just as long, progress had been prevented at every turn by the special interests and their allies in Washington.
So, year after year, our dependence on foreign oil grew. Families have been held hostage to spikes in gas prices. Good manufacturing jobs have gone overseas. And we’ve seen companies produce new energy technologies and high-skilled jobs not in America, but in countries like China, India and Germany.
It was essential – for our economy, our security, and our planet – that we finally tackle this challenge. That is why, since we took office, my administration has made an historic commitment to promote clean energy technology. This will mean hundreds of thousands of new American jobs by 2012. Jobs for contractors to install energy-saving windows and insulation. Jobs for factory workers to build high-tech vehicle batteries, electric cars, and hybrid trucks. Jobs for engineers and construction crews to create wind farms and solar plants that are going to double the renewable energy we can generate in this country. These are jobs building the future.
For example, I want share with you one new development, made possible by the clean energy incentives we have launched. This month, in the Mojave Desert, a company called BrightSource plans to break ground on a revolutionary new type of solar power plant. It’s going to put about a thousand people to work building a state-of-the-art facility. And when it’s complete, it will turn sunlight into the energy that will power up to 140,000 homes – the largest such plant in the world. Not in China. Not in India. But in California.
With projects like this one, and others across this country, we are staking our claim to continued leadership in the new global economy. And we’re putting Americans to work producing clean, home-grown American energy that will help lower our reliance on foreign oil and protect our planet for future generations.
Now there are some in Washington who want to shut them down. In fact, in the Pledge they recently released, the Republican leadership is promising to scrap all the incentives for clean energy projects, including those currently underway – even with all the jobs and potential that they hold.
This doesn’t make sense for our economy. It doesn’t make sense for Americans who are looking for jobs. And it doesn’t make sense for our future. To go backwards and scrap these plans means handing the competitive edge to China and other nations. It means that we’ll grow even more dependent on foreign oil. And, at a time of economic hardship, it means forgoing jobs we desperately need. In fact, shutting down just this one project would cost about a thousand jobs.
That’s what’s at stake in this debate. We can go back to the failed energy policies that profited the oil companies but weakened our country. We can go back to the days when promising industries got set up overseas. Or we can go after new jobs in growing industries. We can spur innovation and help make our economy more competitive. We know the choice that’s right for America. We need to do what we’ve always done – put our ingenuity and can do spirit to work to fight for a brighter future.
