Remarks at Plenary Session of the U.S.-China Strategic and Economic
Dialogue Hillary Rodham Clinton, Secretary of State
Washington, DC July 27, 2009 希拉里·克林顿国务卿在美中战略与经济对话全体会议上发表的讲话
华盛顿哥伦比亚特区 2009年7月27日
Good morning.And Zhongxing Huanyin.早上好。[用中文说]衷心欢迎。
I’m so pleased to see all of you here, so many members of our cabinet, and we are excited to begin this Strategic and Economic Dialogue between the United States and China.It is a privilege to open this inaugural meeting.It is a privilege to open this inaugural meeting of the Strategic and Economic Dialogue between the United States and China.I am especially pleased that to join my co-chair, Secretary Geithner, and I have been able to welcome State Councilor Dai and Vice Premier Wang.We are looking I look forward to resuming the productive very fruitful discussions that we have already had both Secretary Geithner and particularly President Obama and President Hu.I had with Councilor Dai, President Hu, and Premier Wen on my trip to China in February, and to build on President Obama and President Hu’s meeting in London.十分荣幸能在美中两国之间的战略与经济对话首次会议开幕式上致辞。我特别高兴能与盖特纳（Geithner）部长共同主持会议，并欢迎王岐山副总理和戴秉国国务委员。我期待着继续我2月访华期间与戴秉国国务委员、胡锦涛主席和温家宝总理进行的富有成果的讨论，并在奥巴马总统和胡锦涛主席伦敦会晤的基础上取得更多成果。
This is both a culmination, and a beginning.It is a A culmination of actions taken by our predecessors 30 years ago, when the United States and China established formal diplomatic relations, and Deng Xiaoping launched China’s economic reform and opening to the world.What followed was a blossoming of Chinese economic growth and diplomatic engagement that has allowed our nations to reach this place of opportunity today.这一对话既是一个结果又是一个开端。作为结果，它源于我们的前任们30年前所采取的行动。那时，美中两国建立了正式外交关系，邓小平发起了中国的经济改革并实行对外开放。随之而来的是中国经济的蓬勃发展和使我们两国到达今天机遇之地的外交接触。
But This dialogue also marks a beginning – the beginning of an unprecedented effort to lay the foundation for a positive, cooperative, and comprehensive U.S.-Chinese relationship in for the 21st century.这一对话也标志着一个开端——一个为建立21世纪积极、合作、全面的美中关系奠定基础而作出前所未有努力的开端。
That so many members of President Obama’s cabinet are here reflects our belief that a stronger relationship will yield rewards, not only for our two nations, but indeed for the world beyond.奥巴马总统内阁的众多阁员今天与会反映了我们的一个信念，即更牢固的美中关系不仅会使我们两国受益，而且会使整个世界受益。
We believe that For in the decades ahead, great countries will be defined less by their power to dominate or pide than by their capacity to solve problems.It is this reality – and the fact that no country can solve today’s challenges alone – that demands a new global architecture for progress.因为在未来数十年内，伟大国家的特征将不是其控制和分割他国的力量，而是其解决问题的能力。正是这一现实——以及没有任何国家能单独应对今天面临的挑战这一事实——要求建立一个新的争取进步的全球架构。
Although past relations between the United States and China have been influenced by the idea of a balance of power among great nations, the fresh thinking of the 21st century can move us from a multi-polar world to a multi-partner world.And it is our hope that the dialogue we initiate today will enable us to shape that common agenda.尽管美国和中国以往的关系受到大国间权力平衡的观点的影响，但21世纪全新的思维能使我们从一个多极世界走向一个多伙伴世界。我们希望今天启动的对话将使我们能够确立这个共同议程。
We know that Our nations face common global threats, from the economic crisis, to non-proliferation, climate change and clean energy, pandemic disease and global poverty, North Korea, Iran, and extremism in Afghanistan and Pakistan.我们两国面临着同样的全球性威胁，从经济危机到防扩散，从气候变化到清洁能源，从大规模流行性疾病到全球贫困，从北韩到伊朗，还有阿富汗和巴基斯坦的极端主义势力。
To meet these threats, we must find common ground and work together in common purpose, even as we may disagree on certain issues.为了应对这些威胁，我们必须找到共同之处并向着共同目标一起努力，即使我们可能在某些问题上存在分歧。
As we’ll hear later from the President later this morning, the Obama Administration is committed to broader engagement – to using robust diplomacy and development and working with and beyond government to solve regional and global problems and take advantage of the unprecedented opportunities they present.今天上午我们将会听到总统阐明，奥巴马政府致力于更广泛的接触——利用有力的外交和发展手段，同政府及非政府人士合作解决区域性和全球性问题，并把握它们所带来的前所未有的机会。
When I was in China in February, it was my first time back in almost a decade.And I was struck, as many visitors are, by the transformation that had taken place.Driving on the third ring road in Beijing, I felt like I was watching a movie in fast-forward.From a few high rise buildings on my last trip, to a gleaming Olympic complex and corporate skyscrapers today.From millions of Flying Pigeon bicycles navigating the streets, to cars of every model traversing modern thoroughfares.And for those traveling to Shanghai, an already cosmopolitan world city soon to add the Shanghai Expo.我今年二月访问中国时，距我前一次访问已有将近十年之久。我像很多来访者一样，被今昔的变化所震撼。驱车行驶在三环路上，我感到仿佛是在观看一部快进的电影。我上次来时高楼大厦屈指可数，如今奥林匹克场馆和摩天商务大厦令人眼花缭乱。过去有千百万辆飞鸽牌自行车在大街小巷穿行，如今有各种型号的汽车在现代化公路上行驶。那些去上海的人还会看到上海世博会将为这个已经发展成型的大都市增添光彩。
All are testaments to China’s dynamism and growth.And we the United States welcome these signs of progress.这些都是中国蓬勃发展的见证。这些进步的气象令我们感到高兴。
We also welcome China’s role in promoting peace and stability in the Asia Pacific.Over the past 30 years, the United States has helped to foster security in the region – and that is when a critical factor in China’s growth, and an important strategic interest of our own.In the future, we will remain actively engaged in promoting the security of Asia.When misunderstandings or disagreements arise, we will work through them peacefully and through intensive dialogue.我们还欢迎中国为促进亚太地区的和平与稳定所发挥的作用。过去30年来，美国帮助建立该地区的安全，这对中国的增长至关重要，对我们自身的战略利益也意义重大。未来，我们将继续积极参与促进亚洲的安全。出现误解或分歧时，我们将以和平方式并通过积极对话来予以解决。
This Strategic and Economic Dialogue differs from past dialogues in scope, substance, and approach.It is comprehensive by design, meant to enlist the full range of talent within our governments and to include cross-cutting challenges that are neither bureaucratically neat, nor easily compartmentalized.本届战略与经济对话在广度、实质乃至方法上均不同于过去的对话。其形式结构力求全面，以便充分利用两国政府内部的聪明才智，解决那些在行政体制上无法按部门截然划分的问题。With this dialogue we are laying, brick by brick, the foundation of a stronger relationship – improving lines of communication;increasing understanding;setting priorities;and creating a work plan.通过这一对话，我们正脚踏实地为加强关系而奠定基础，改善交流途径，增强理解，制定重点目标和工作计划。
Our agenda will focus on several areas:
我们的议程将侧重于以下几个方面：
First, the economic recovery.Repairing the global economy is a priority for both the United States and China.We have taken aggressive action at home to stimulate our economy and stabilize our financial institutions.China has taken similarly bold steps and we both agree that further economic and financial cooperation is necessary for global recovery.第一，经济复苏。修复全球经济是美中两国的首要目标。我们已在国内采取果断行动，以刺激经济和稳定金融机构。中国已采取类似的大胆措施，而且我们双方均认为，进一步的经济和金融合作对全球复苏是必要的。
Second, climate change and clean energy.As the world’s two biggest emitters, we must demonstrate to the developed and developing world that clean energy and economic growth can go hand-in-hand.We are already have involved in promising partnerships.When I was in In Beijing, I toured a geo-thermal plant that is a true U.S.-Chinese collaboration.General Electric has provided high-tech equipment to produce heat and power with half the emissions, and far less water usage than the coal plants that are typically relied on.And Chinese businesses build the steam turbines that help to power the plant.This plant saves costs and provides clean energy – including heat for the U.S.Embassy.第二，气候变化和清洁能源。作为世界上两个最大的排放国，我们必须向发达和发展中国家表明，清洁能源和经济增长能够同步进行。我们已在进行充满希望的合作。在北京期间，我参观了一家地热工厂，这是名副其实的美中合作。通用电气公司提供的高科技设备被用于产热发电，与通常燃煤的火力发电相比，排放减少了一半，用水量也大大下降。中国公司则制造了工厂发电用的燃气轮机。该厂在节省成本的基础上提供了清洁能源，包括为美国大使馆提供热能。
Third, security challenges.I just attended the ASEAN conference in Thailand, where the North Korean regime’s recent provocations were a subject of great concern.China and the United States both appreciate the dangers of escalating tensions and a prospective arms race in East Asia;and we both are going to against the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.第三，安全挑战。我刚刚出席了在泰国举行的东盟会议，北韩政权最近的挑衅行动成了大会十分关注的议题。中国和美国均认识到紧张局势升级以及东亚可能发生的军备竞赛所导致的危险以及大规模毁灭性武器扩散的危险。
Already, China and the United States have worked together to contain dangerous actions on the part of North Korea.We are grateful for the Chinese government’s leadership in establishing the Six Party Talks and for its close cooperation in response to North Korean missile launches.In this dialogue, we will discuss ways to work jointly to persuade the regime to agree to denuclearization and end its international isolation.中美两国已经在进行合作，以遏制北韩方面的危险行动。我们感谢中国政府为设立六方会谈所发挥的主导作用以及在应对北韩导弹发射问题上所进行的密切合作。本届对话期间，我们将探讨如何共同努力以说服该政权同意实现无核化并结束其国际孤立状态。
We will also discuss our common concerns about the nuclear weapons capability of Iran, and explore ways to address violent extremism and promote stability in Afghanistan and Pakistan.我们还将讨论我们对伊朗核武器能力的共同关注，并探讨清除暴力极端主义、促进阿富汗和巴基斯坦稳定的方法。
Fourth, we will talk about development.Under President Obama, development, like diplomacy, is an equally important pillar of American foreign policy.Many of the world’s threats stem from lack of opportunity which, in turn, leads to poverty, social erosion, and political instability.By addressing global scourges such as hunger, illiteracy, disease, and economic marginalization from the bottom up, and by insisting on accountability and adherence to the rule of law, we can widen opportunity and prosperity for more people in more places.第四，发展。在奥巴马总统领导下，发展同外交一样，是美国对外政策的重要支柱。世界上许多威胁的根源来自机会的缺乏，而机会缺乏进而导致贫困、社会解体及政治动荡。通过自下而上地消除饥饿、文盲、疾病以及经济边缘化等全球性灾难，坚持问责制和法治，我们能够为更多地区的更多人带来机会和繁荣。
None of these problems will be easy to solve, and results won’t happen overnight.We will not always see eye-to-eye, as is the case with human rights, where the United States will continue to be guided by the ideal that the rights of all people must be respected.Still, solutions to many of today’s global challenges are within reach if we work cooperatively where our interests intersect, and are honest with each other when they don’t.这些问题无一能轻易解决，也不会一夜之间就产生结果。我们的观点并非全部一致，人权便是一例。美国将继续恪守这样的理念：所有人的权利都必须得到尊重。尽管如此，如果我们在利益一致的领域进行合作，并且在利益不一致时能做到开诚布公，那么我们就能够成功应对当今的许多全球性挑战。
A well-known Chinese saying speaks of a sacred mountain in northern China near Confucius’ home.It says: ―When people are of one mind and heart, they can move Mt.Tai."
中国有一句著名的俗语，讲的是孔子家乡附近的一座圣山。这句话是这样说的：―人心齐，泰山移‖。
We cannot expect to be united at every turn, but we can be of one mind and heart on the need to find common ground as we confront the shared challenges of the 21st century.The Obama Administration has embraced this dialogue with China early and energetically because we want to see it to fruition.This is an issue of great importance to me as Secretary of State, and I know the same is true for my colleagues and for our President.我们无法期待事事处处都保持一致，但就面临21世纪的共同挑战有必要找到共同立足点而言，我们能够齐心协力。奥巴马政府上任伊始就决定大力与中国展开对话，因为我们希望看到它结出硕果。作为国务卿，这对我本人是一个十分重要的问题，并且我知道对我的同事们和奥巴马总统也是如此。
And now, it is my great honor to introduce Vice Premier Wang.现在，我非常荣幸地向大家介绍王副总理。

For in the decades ahead, great countries will be defined less by their power to dominate or pide than by their capacity to solve problems.It is this reality – and the fact that no country can solve today’s challenges alone – that demands a new global architecture for progress.因为在未来数十年内，伟大国家的特征将不是其控制和分割他国的力量，而是其解决问题的能力。正是这一现实——以及没有任何国家能单独应对今天面临的挑战这一事实——要求建立一个新的争取进步的全球架构。

To meet these threats, we must find common ground and work together in common purpose, even as we may disagree on certain issues.为了应对这些威胁，我们必须找到共同之处并向着共同目标一起努力，即使我们可能在某些问题上存在分歧。
As we’ll hear from the President later this morning, the Obama Administration is committed to broader engagement – to using robust diplomacy and development and working with and beyond government to solve regional and global problems and take advantage of the unprecedented opportunities they present.今天上午我们将会听到总统阐明，奥巴马政府致力于更广泛的接触——利用有力的外交和发展手段，同政府及非政府人士合作解决区域性和全球性问题，并把握它们所带来的前所未有的机会。

This Strategic and Economic Dialogue differs from past dialogues in scope, substance, and approach.It is comprehensive by design, meant to enlist the full range of talent within our governments and to include cross-cutting challenges that are neither bureaucratically neat, nor easily compartmentalized.本届战略与经济对话在广度、实质乃至方法上均不同于过去的对话。其形式结构力求全面，以便充分利用两国政府内部的聪明才智，解决那些在行政体制上无法按部门截然划分的问题。
With this dialogue we are laying, brick by brick, the foundation of a stronger relationship – improving lines of communication;increasing understanding;setting priorities;and creating a work plan.通过这一对话，我们正脚踏实地为加强关系而奠定基础，改善交流途径，增强理解，制定重点目标和工作计划。
Our agenda will focus on several areas:

All are testaments to China’s dynamism and growth.And we welcome these signs of progress.这些都是中国蓬勃发展的见证。这些进步的气象令我们感到高兴。
We also welcome China’s role in promoting peace and stability in the Asia Pacific.Over the past 30 years, the United States has helped foster security in the region – a critical factor in China’s growth, and an important strategic interest of our own.In the future, we will remain actively engaged in promoting the security of Asia.When misunderstandings or disagreements arise, we will work through them peacefully and through intensive dialogue.我们还欢迎中国为促进亚太地区的和平与稳定所发挥的作用。过去30年来，美国帮助建立该地区的安全，这对中国的增长至关重要，对我们自身的战略利益也意义重大。未来，我们将继续积极参与促进亚洲的安全。出现误解或分歧时，我们将以和平方式并通过积极对话来予以解决。
This Strategic and Economic Dialogue differs from past dialogues in scope, substance, and approach.It is comprehensive by design, meant to enlist the full range of talent within our governments and to include cross-cutting challenges that are neither bureaucratically neat, nor easily compartmentalized.本届战略与经济对话在广度、实质乃至方法上均不同于过去的对话。其形式结构力求全面，以便充分利用两国政府内部的聪明才智，解决那些在行政体制上无法按部门截然划分的问题。
With this dialogue we are laying, brick by brick, the foundation of a stronger relationship – improving lines of communication;increasing understanding;setting priorities;and creating a work plan.通过这一对话，我们正脚踏实地为加强关系而奠定基础，改善交流途径，增强理解，制定重点目标和工作计划。
Our agenda will focus on several areas:
我们的议程将侧重于以下几个方面：
First, the economic recovery.Repairing the global economy is a priority for both the United States and China.We have taken aggressive action at home to stimulate our economy and stabilize our financial institutions.China has taken similarly bold steps and we both agree that further economic and financial cooperation is necessary for global recovery.第一，经济复苏。修复全球经济是美中两国的首要目标。我们已在国内采取果断行动，以刺激经济和稳定金融机构。中国已采取类似的大胆措施，而且我们双方均认为，进一步的经济和金融合作对全球复苏是必要的。
Second, climate change and clean energy.As the world’s two biggest emitters, we must demonstrate to the developed and developing world that clean energy and economic growth can go hand-in-hand.We are already involved in promising partnerships.In Beijing, I toured a geo-thermal plant that is a true U.S.-Chinese collaboration.General Electric has provided high-tech equipment to produce heat and power with half the emissions, and far less water usage than the coal plants that are typically relied on.And Chinese businesses build the steam turbines that help to power the plant.This plant saves costs and provides clean energy – including heat for the U.S.Embassy.第二，气候变化和清洁能源。作为世界上两个最大的排放国，我们必须向发达和发展中国家表明，清洁能源和经济增长能够同步进行。我们已在进行充满希望的合作。在北京期间，我参观了一家地热工厂，这是名副其实的美中合作。通用电气公司提供的高科技设备被用于产热发电，与通常燃煤的火力发电相比，排放减少了一半，用水量也大大下降。中国公司则制造了工厂发电用的燃气轮机。该厂在节省成本的基础上提供了清洁能源，包括为美国大使馆提供热能。
Third, security challenges.I just attended the ASEAN conference in Thailand, where the North Korean regime’s recent provocations were a subject of great concern.China and the United States both appreciate the dangers of escalating tensions and a prospective arms race in East Asia;and the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.第三，安全挑战。我刚刚出席了在泰国举行的东盟会议，北韩政权最近的挑衅行动成了大会十分关注的议题。中国和美国均认识到紧张局势升级以及东亚可能发生的军备竞赛所导致的危险以及大规模毁灭性武器扩散的危险。
Already, China and the United States have worked together to contain dangerous actions on the part of North Korea.We are grateful for the Chinese government’s leadership in establishing the Six Party Talks and for its close cooperation in response to North Korean missile launches.In this dialogue, we will discuss ways to work jointly to persuade the regime to agree to denuclearization and end its international isolation.中美两国已经在进行合作，以遏制北韩方面的危险行动。我们感谢中国政府为设立六方会谈所发挥的主导作用以及在应对北韩导弹发射问题上所进行的密切合作。本届对话期间，我们将探讨如何共同努力以说服该政权同意实现无核化并结束其国际孤立状态。
We will also discuss our common concerns about the nuclear weapons capability of Iran, and explore ways to address violent extremism and promote stability in Afghanistan and Pakistan.我们还将讨论我们对伊朗核武器能力的共同关注，并探讨清除暴力极端主义、促进阿富汗和巴基斯坦稳定的方法。
Fourth, development.Under President Obama, development, like diplomacy, is an equally important pillar of American foreign policy.Many of the world’s threats stem from lack of opportunity which, in turn, leads to poverty, social erosion, and political instability.By addressing global scourges such as hunger, illiteracy, disease, and economic marginalization from the bottom up, and by insisting on accountability and adherence to the rule of law, we can widen opportunity and prosperity for more people in more places.第四，发展。在奥巴马总统领导下，发展同外交一样，是美国对外政策的重要支柱。世界上许多威胁的根源来自机会的缺乏，而机会缺乏进而导致贫困、社会解体及政治动荡。通过自下而上地消除饥饿、文盲、疾病以及经济边缘化等全球性灾难，坚持问责制和法治，我们能够为更多地区的更多人带来机会和繁荣。
None of these problems will be easy to solve, and results won’t happen overnight.We will not always see eye-to-eye, as is the case with human rights, where the United States will continue to be guided by the ideal that the rights of all people must be respected.Still, solutions to many of today’s global challenges are within reach if we work cooperatively where our interests intersect, and are honest with each other when they don’t.这些问题无一能轻易解决，也不会一夜之间就产生结果。我们的观点并非全部一致，人权便是一例。美国将继续恪守这样的理念：所有人的权利都必须得到尊重。尽管如此，如果我们在利益一致的领域进行合作，并且在利益不一致时能做到开诚布公，那么我们就能够成功应对当今的许多全球性挑战。
A well-known Chinese saying speaks of a sacred mountain in northern China near Confucius’ home.It says: “When people are of one mind and heart, they can move Mt.Tai."
中国有一句著名的俗语，讲的是孔子家乡附近的一座圣山。这句话是这样说的：“人心齐，泰山移”。
We cannot expect to be united at every turn, but we can be of one mind and heart on the need to find common ground as we confront the shared challenges of the 21st century.The Obama Administration has embraced this dialogue with China early and energetically because we want to see it to fruition.This is an issue of great importance to me as Secretary of State, and I know the same is true for my colleagues and for our President.我们无法期待事事处处都保持一致，但就面临21世纪的共同挑战有必要找到共同立足点而言，我们能够齐心协力。奥巴马政府上任伊始就决定大力与中国展开对话，因为我们希望看到它结出硕果。作为国务卿，这对我本人是一个十分重要的问题，并且我知道对我的同事们和奥巴马总统也是如此。
And now, it is my great honor to introduce Vice Premier Wang.现在，我非常荣幸地向大家介绍王副总理。

第四篇：希拉里-中美战略与经济对话
Remarks at Plenary Session of the U.S.-China Strategic and Economic Dialogue Hillary Rodham Clinton, Secretary of State
Washington, DC July 27, 2009 希拉里·克林顿国务卿在美中战略与经济对话全体会议上发表的讲话
华盛顿哥伦比亚特区 2009年7月27日
Good morning.And Zhongxing Huanyin.早上好。[用中文说]衷心欢迎。
It is a privilege to open this inaugural meeting of the Strategic and Economic Dialogue between the United States and China.I am especially pleased to join my co-chair, Secretary Geithner, and to welcome State Councilor Dai and Vice Premier Wang.I look forward to resuming the productive discussions I had with Councilor Dai, President Hu, and Premier Wen on my trip to China in February, and to build on President Obama and President Hu’s meeting in London.十分荣幸能在美中两国之间的战略与经济对话首次会议开幕式上致辞。我特别高兴能与盖特纳（Geithner）部长共同主持会议，并欢迎王岐山副总理和戴秉国国务委员。我期待着继续我2月访华期间与戴秉国国务委员、胡锦涛主席和温家宝总理进行的富有成果的讨论，并在奥巴马总统和胡锦涛主席伦敦会晤的基础上取得更多成果。
This is both a culmination, and a beginning.A culmination of actions taken by our predecessors 30 years ago, when the United States and China established formal diplomatic relations.What followed was a blossoming of Chinese economic growth and diplomatic engagement that has allowed our nations to reach this place of opportunity today.这一对话既是一个结果又是一个开端。作为结果，它源于我们的前任们30年前所采取的行动。那时，美中两国建立了正式外交关系，邓小平发起了中国的经济改革并实行对外开放。随之而来的是中国经济的蓬勃发展和使我们两国到达今天机遇之地的外交接触。
This dialogue also marks a beginning – the beginning of an unprecedented effort to lay the foundation for a positive, cooperative, and comprehensive U.S.-Chinese relationship for the 21st century.这一对话也标志着一个开端——一个为建立21世纪积极、合作、全面的美中关系奠定基础而作出前所未有努力的开端。
That so many members of President Obama’s cabinet are here reflects our belief that a stronger relationship will yield rewards, not only for our two nations, but for the world beyond.奥巴马总统内阁的众多阁员今天与会反映了我们的一个信念，即更牢固的美中关系不仅会使我们两国受益，而且会使整个世界受益。
For in the decades ahead, great countries will be defined less by their power to dominate or pide than by their capacity to solve problems.It is this reality – and the fact that no country can solve today’s challenges alone – that demands a new global architecture for progress.因为在未来数十年内，伟大国家的特征将不是其控制和分割他国的力量，而是其解决问题的能力。正是这一现实——以及没有任何国家能单独应对今天面临的挑战这一事实——要求建立一个新的争取进步的全球架构。
Although past relations between the United States and China have been influenced by the idea of a balance of power among great nations, the fresh thinking of the 21st century can move us from a multi-polar world to a multi-partner world.And it is our hope that the dialogue we initiate today will enable us to shape that common agenda.尽管美国和中国以往的关系受到大国间权力平衡的观点的影响，但21世纪全新的思维能使我们从一个多极世界走向一个多伙伴世界。我们希望今天启动的对话将使我们能够确立这个共同议程。
Our nations face common global threats, from the economic crisis, to non-proliferation, climate change and clean energy, pandemic disease and global poverty, North Korea, Iran, and extremism in Afghanistan and Pakistan.我们两国面临着同样的全球性威胁，从经济危机到防扩散，从气候变化到清洁能源，从大规模流行性疾病到全球贫困，从北韩到伊朗，还有阿富汗和巴基斯坦的极端主义势力。
To meet these threats, we must find common ground and work together in common purpose, even as we may disagree on certain issues.为了应对这些威胁，我们必须找到共同之处并向着共同目标一起努力，即使我们可能在某些问题上存在分歧。
As we’ll hear from the President later this morning, the Obama Administration is committed to broader engagement – to using robust diplomacy and development and working with and beyond government to solve regional and global problems.今天上午我们将会听到总统阐明，奥巴马政府致力于更广泛的接触——利用有力的外交和发展手段，同政府及非政府人士合作解决区域性和全球性问题。
When I was in China in February, it was my first time back in almost a decade.And I was struck, as many visitors are, by the transformation that had taken place.Driving on the third ring road in Beijing, I felt like was watching a movie in fast-forward.From a few high rise buildings on my last trip, to a gleaming Olympic complex and corporate skyscrapers today.From millions of Flying Pigeon bicycles navigating the streets, to cars of every model traversing modern thoroughfares.And for those traveling to Shanghai, an already cosmopolitan city soon to add the Shanghai Expo.我今年二月访问中国时，距我前一次访问已有将近十年之久。我像很多来访者一样，被今昔的变化所震撼。驱车行驶在三环路上，我感到仿佛是在观看一部快进的电影。我上次来时高楼大厦屈指可数，如今奥林匹克场馆和摩天商务大厦令人眼花缭乱。过去有千百万辆飞鸽牌自行车在大街小巷穿行，如今有各种型号的汽车在现代化公路上行驶。那些去上海的人还会看到上海世博会将为这个已经发展成型的大都市增添光彩。
All are testaments to China’s dynamism and growth.And we welcome these signs of progress.这些都是中国蓬勃发展的见证。这些进步的气象令我们感到高兴。
We also welcome China’s role in promoting peace and stability in the Asia Pacific.Over the past 30 years, the United States has helped foster security in the region – a critical factor in China’s growth, and an important strategic interest of our own.In the future, we will remain actively engaged in promoting the security of Asia.When misunderstandings or disagreements arise, we will work through them peacefully and through intensive dialogue.我们还欢迎中国为促进亚太地区的和平与稳定所发挥的作用。过去30年来，美国帮助建立该地区的安全，这对中国的增长至关重要，对我们自身的战略利益也意义重大。未来，我们将继续积极参与促进亚洲的安全。出现误解或分歧时，我们将以和平方式并通过积极对话来予以解决。
This Strategic and Economic Dialogue differs from past dialogues in scope, substance, and approach.It is comprehensive by design, meant to enlist the full range of talent within our governments and to include cross-cutting challenges that are neither bureaucratically neat, nor easily compartmentalized.本届战略与经济对话在广度、实质乃至方法上均不同于过去的对话。其形式结构力求全面，以便充分利用两国政府内部的聪明才智，解决那些在行政体制上无法按部门截然划分的问题。
With this dialogue we are laying, brick by brick, the foundation of a stronger relationship – improving lines of communication;increasing understanding;setting priorities;and creating a work plan.通过这一对话，我们正脚踏实地为加强关系而奠定基础，改善交流途径，增强理解，制定重点目标和工作计划。

第五篇：第四轮中美战略经济对话 希拉里讲话
Remarks at U.S.-China Strategic and Economic Dialogue Opening
Session
在美中战略与经济对话开幕式上的讲话
Hillary Rodham Clinton
希拉里•克林顿
Secretary of State 美国国务卿
Diaoyutai Villa 17, Beijing, China 中国北京钓鱼台国宾馆第17号楼
May 3, 2012 2012年5月3日
(In progress)– Strategic and Economic Dialogue, and I know that both Secretary Geithner and I greatly appreciate all the work done by both of our delegations and the months of preparation for this meeting.I’ve read readings from President Obama and a letter from him expressing how important the Strategic and Economic Dialogue is to the U.S.-China relationship and how important this relationship is to the United States.（正在讲话）－－战略与经济对话，而且我知道盖特纳部长和我对于双方代表的所有工作以及连月来的会议筹备都表示十分感谢。我已读到欧巴马总统的声明以及一封信函，其中表明战略与经济对话对于美中关系的重要性，以及这一关系对于美国的重要性。
As President Obama says, the United States remains committed to building a cooperative partnership based on mutual benefit and mutual respect.Since we launched this dialogue three years ago, high-ranking officials from both our governments have criss-crossed the Pacific dozens of times.Our relationship has grown closer and more consequential, and the web of connections that link our nations is increasing.如同欧巴马总统所言，美国继续致力于建设一种基于互惠与互相尊重的合作关系。自从我们在三年前启动这项对话以来，双方政府的高级官员已在太平洋两岸往返了数十次。我们的关系更加密切也更富成效，联系我们两国的纽带也与日俱增。
As a result, this dialogue is even more necessary today than it was when it began, and the eyes of the world are once again upon us.The Chinese people and the American people looking for us to work together for their benefit, and the international community looking to us to work together for the world’s benefit;in today’s world, no global player can afford to treat geopolitics as a zero-sum game, so we are working to build a relationship that allows both of our countries to flourish without unhealthy competition or conflict, while at the same time meeting our responsibilities to our people and to the international community.因此，这项对话在今天比当年启动时更为必要，世人的目光也再次注视着我们。中国人民和美国人民都希望我们共同为他们谋福利，国际社会也希望我们共同为世界谋福利；在今天的世界中，没有任何全球大国能将地缘政治视为零和游戏，所以我们正在努力建立一种关系，使两国能够繁荣兴盛，而且没有不健康的竞争或冲突，同时满足我们人民和国际社会的需求。
We both know that we have to get this right because so much depends upon it.We also both know that our countries have become thoroughly, inescapably interdependent.As President Obama and I have said many times, the United States believes that a thriving China is good for America, and a thriving America is good for China.So we have a strong interest in China’s continued economic growth and if China’s rising capabilities means that we have an increasingly able and engaged partner in solving the threats we face to both regional and global security, that is all good.我们都知道我们必须做得正确，因为这的确事关重大。我们都知道两国已经完全地、不可避免地互相依赖。正如欧巴马总统和我本人多次谈到的，美国相信兴盛的中国对美国有益，而兴盛的美国同样对中国有益。所以，中国持续的经济增长关系到我们的重大利益，如果中国日益加强的能力意味着我们拥有一个越来越强大并投入的合作伙伴以解决我们双方面临的地区和全球安全威胁，那是非常好的事情。
Now, having said that, we understand too that building a cooperative, resilient, mutually beneficial relationship is not easy.That’s why this dialogue is so critical as well as the Strategic Security Dialogue that took place here yesterday.We are discussing how the talks are opening economic activity to advance prosperity, support innovation, and improve the lives of people, how to promote greater military transparency to avoid misunderstandings, to build trust and maintain mutual stability, how to tackle some of the world’s most urgent crises from climate change to proliferation.在此基础上，我们也理解要建立一种合作、坚韧、互惠的关系并不容易。这就是这一对话以及昨天在此举行的战略安全对话如此重要的原因。我们讨论了对话如何开启经济活动以促进繁荣、支持创新并改善人民生活，如何提倡提高军事透明度以避免误解，建立信任并维护共同稳定，如何应对全世界从气候变化到核扩散的一系列最紧迫的危机。
The United States welcomes China’s increased engagement on the highest priority regional and global issues, and in our strategic track, we will be discussing these.For example, on Iran, the United States and China share the goal of preventing Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon.And we had a productive first meeting as members of the P-5+1 in Istanbul, and are looking forward to the next meeting in Baghdad because we both understand it is critical to keep pressure on Iran to meet its international obligations, to negotiate seriously, and prove that its nuclear program is solely for peaceful purposes.美国欢迎中国日益投入于最重要的地区和全球事务，我们将在战略会谈中对此进行讨论。举例而言，在伊朗问题上，美国和中国都抱有制止伊朗获得核武器的目标。作为5常加1的成员，我们已在伊斯坦布尔召开了富于成效的第一次会议，并期待下一次会议在巴格达召开，因为我们双方都理解，继续对伊朗施压以使它履行其国际义务、严肃地进行谈判、并证明其核项目完全用于和平目的，都是至关重要的。
In Syria, we are absolutely committed to end the brutal violence against civilians, and therefore, it is essential that the international community work together to hold the regime and the others involved in violence accountable, because regrettably, the Security Council on which we both serve as current members is at stake.在叙利亚，我们坚定不移地致力于结束伤害平民的野蛮暴力行为；因此，国际社会协力追究实施暴力行为的叙利亚政权及其他人的责任至关重要；因为令人遗憾的是，我们目前都是其成员的安理会面临信誉危机。
Regarding North Korea, the missile launch seems to suggest that Pyongyang actually used improved relations with the outside world not a goal, but as a threat.And we recognize the role that China is playing and are continuing to work together to make it clear to North Korea that strength and security will come from prioritizing the needs of its people, not from further provocation.至于北韩，它进行的导弹发射似乎暗示，平壤实际上不是把与外部世界关系的改善作为一项目标，而是作为一种威胁。我们了解中国正在发挥的作用，继续协作，向北韩明确表示：北韩的力量与安全将来自优先考虑其人民的需求，而不是来自进一步的挑衅。
In Sudan and South Sudan, China and the United States are working together.In fact, with me today is the U.S.special envoy to Sudan who is in regular contact with the Chinese special representative for Africa.And I’m pleased that China and the United States joined with a unified international community just hours ago to support a strong UN security resolution that provides unambiguous support for the African Union roadmap.在苏丹和南苏丹，中国和美国正在共同努力。事实上，与中国驻非洲特别代表保持经常接触的美国驻苏丹特使今天与我一起出席会议。我感到高兴的是，中国与美国就在几个小时前与团结一致的国际社会一道支持联合国关于安全问题的强有力决议，向非洲联盟的路线图提供明确无疑的支持。
Our countries are addressing everything from cyber security to the changes and reforms going on in Burma to piracy and so much else, because we know that we are working to better the lives of our people and a better future for all humanity.Now of course, as part of our dialogue, the United States raises the importance of human rights and fundamental freedoms because we believe that all governments do have to answer to citizens’ aspirations for dignity and the rule of law, and that no nation can or should deny those rights.我们两国正在应对网络安全、缅甸发生的变化与改革、盗窃知识产权以及许许多多的其他各种问题，因为我们知道我们正在努力改善我们两国人民的生活，使全人类有一个更美好的未来。当然，作为我们对话的部分内容，美国提出人权与基本自由重要性的问题，因为我们认为各国政府都必须回应公民对尊严与法治的愿望，任何国家都不能也不应该拒绝这些权利。
As President Obama said this week, a China that protects the rights of all its citizens will be a stronger and more prosperous nation, and of course, a stronger partner on behalf of our common goals.The conversations we have here in Beijing reflect how much the U.S.-China relationship has grown in the 40 years since President Nixon came to China.Then, we had hardly any ties to speak of;now, we work together.I think it’s fair to say China and the United States cannot solve all the problems of the world, but without our cooperation, it is doubtful any problem can be solved.And so we are working as we go forward with our dialogue, seeking opportunities for engagement, building ties that are not only between governments but family, friends, entrepreneurs, students, scholars, artists, and so much else.正如奥巴马总统在本周内所说，一个保护其所有公民权利的中国将是一个更强大和更繁荣的国家，当然也是一个代表我们共同目标的更强有力的合作伙伴。我们在北京这里举行的对话反映出自从尼克松总统访华后40年来美中关系已经取得的巨大进展。那时，我们几乎没有任何联系可言；现在，我们共同工作。我认为，可以公平地说：中国和美国无法解决世界上的所有问题，但如果没有我们之间的合作，就很难解决任何问题。所以我们正在努力推动我们之间的对话，寻求接触与联系的机会，这种联系将不限于政府之间，而是包括家庭、朋友、企业家、学生、学者、艺术家和其他各类人士。
Tomorrow, I will attend the annual meeting of U.S.-China Consultation on People-to-People Exchanges, and we will discuss the progress we’re making, including for our 100000 Strong Education Initiative that will increase significantly the numbers and persity of American students studying in China.明天，我将参加美中人文交流高层磋商会议。我们将讨论我们取得的进展，其中包括“十万人留学中国计划”，该计划将大幅度增加在中国留学的美国学生的人数与多样性。So I wish to thank our hosts for their gracious hospitality once again, and pledge that we will continue to work together in a true spirit of partnership and mutual respect for the mutual benefit of our two nations.Thank you very much.(Applause.)
因此，我想再一次感谢我们的东道主的盛情款待，并承诺我们将继续本着真正的伙伴合作精神与相互尊重原则共同努力，促进我们两国的共同利益。多谢各位。（掌声）。
