[Articles Enjoy] 希拉里在美中战略与经济对话上的演讲

5月24日，第二轮美中战略与经济对话在北京开幕，美国总统奥巴马的特别代表、国务卿希拉里·克林顿出席开幕式并讲话。在讲话中，希拉里引用了中国成语“殊途同归”（treading different paths that lead to the same destination）来形容美中两国所共有的未来。

以下是希拉里讲话全文的中英文对照。

SECRETARY CLINTON: Good morning. I want to thank State Councilor Dai and Vice-Premier Wang for their very warm hospitality. It is a pleasure for our entire delegation to be here in Beijing. And it is an honor to join my colleague, Secretary Geithner, and the many officials from across our government in representing the United States at this second round of the strategic and economic dialogue.

国务卿克林顿：早上好。感谢国务委员戴秉国和副总理王岐山非常热情的接待。我国代表团的全体成员十分高兴来到北京。我与我的同事盖特纳（Geithner）部长及我国政府各部门的众多官员一起代表美国出席第二轮美中战略与经济对话，为此感到十分荣幸。

I first visited China in 1995, and I have been privileged to return since then. Every trip to China offers fresh insights and images of the dynamism of this country and its people, the pace of change, and the possibilities for the future. Back in 1995, trade between our two nations was measured in the tens of billions of dollars. Today it is counted in the hundreds of billions. Few people back then had cell phones, and almost no one had access to the Internet. Today China has the world’s largest mobile phone network, and more Internet users than any other country on earth.

我于1995年初次访问中国，此后又很荣幸地多次前来访问。每次来到中国都使我对这个国家，对中国人民旺盛的活力，对中国的变化之快及中国未来的发展前途产生新的了解和新的印象。早在1995年，我们两国间的贸易额仅有数百亿美元，如今两国贸易额已达数千亿美元。那时，极少有人拥有手机，几乎没有人使用因特网。今天，中国拥有全世界最大的移动电话网络，使用因特网的人数高于全世界任何国家。

In 1995, both our countries signed on to the Beijing platform for action to advance equality and opportunity for women. And while there is still much to do in both of our countries, I know that Chinese women have made real progress in education, health care, and employment. Hundreds of millions of men, women, and children have been lifted out of poverty. And China has flourished in so many ways. Freer trade and open markets have created jobs in both our countries, and given Chinese consumers access to new goods and to higher standards of living.

1995年，我们两国政府签署了北京行动纲领，要求采取行动促进妇女的平等权利与机会。虽然我们两国仍有很多工作要做，但我知道中国妇女在教育、卫生保健和就业领域都取得了切实的进步。千百万男女老少摆脱了贫困。中国在很多方面都获得了蓬勃的发展。促进自由贸易和开放市场为我们两国创造了就业岗位，并使中国消费者获得新的商品和更高的生活水平。

The United States welcomes China’s progress and its accomplishments. And by establishing patterns of cooperation, rather than competition between our two countries, we see the opportunity, as we have just heard from Vice-Premier Wang, for win-win solutions, rather than zero-sum rivalries, for we know that few global problems can be solved by the United States or China acting alone. And few can be solved without the United States and China working together.

美国欢迎中国取得的进步和成就。通过建立两国间的合作模式，而非相互竞争，我们看到了王副总理刚才所说的实现互利共赢的机会，而非互不相容的对抗，因为我们知道，全球性问题无法仅靠美国或者中国得到解决。但没有美国和中国的共同参与，有关问题也不可能得到解决。

With this in mind, I would like to read a few lines of a letter from President Obama that I will be personally handing to President Hu Jintao. President Obama wrote: “Our relationship with China is guided by the recognition that we live in an inter-connected world. One country’s success need not come at the expense of another. Our progress can be shared. Indeed, the United States welcomes China as a strong, prosperous, and successful member of the community of nations.”

考虑到这种情况，我在此宣读我将亲自向胡锦涛主席转交的奥巴马总统信中的几句话。奥巴马总统写道：“我们生活在一个相互联系的世界上，我们与中国的关系正是以这样一种认识为指导。一个国家的成功不必以另一个国家的利益为代价。我们可以共享进步。美国真诚地欢迎中国成为国际大家庭中一个强大、繁荣和成功的成员。”

Over the past 16 months, we have worked together to lay the foundation for that positive, cooperative, and comprehensive relationship that President Obama and President Hu have committed our nations to pursuing. We launched the strategic and economic dialogue last year in Washington, as the premier convening mechanism in our relationship. And this year we have assembled an even broader and deeper team, here in China, to address our growing agenda. We have built avenues of cooperation and identified areas of mutual interest.

奥巴马总统和胡锦涛主席要求两国建立积极、合作和全面的关系，过去16个月来我们共同努力，为双方的关系奠定了基础。去年，我们在华盛顿启动了战略与经济对话，为两国关系建立了主要的对话机制。今年，我们派出代表性更广泛和更深入的团队，前来中国讨论日益增多的议程。我们构建了合作的平台，确定了拥有共同利益的领域。

Our job, moving forward, is to translate that common interest into common action and, in turn, to translate that action into results that improve the lives of our people, and contribute to global progress. Over the long term, these results are how our relationship will be measured.

着眼未来，我们的工作是把我们的共同利益转变成共同行动，进而将这种行动转化为改善两国人民生活，促进全球进步的结果。从长远来看，这些结果是衡量我们关系的标准。

We are conscious that meaningful progress against great global challenges is the work of years, not days. We know that this gathering, in and of itself, is a foundation for ongoing cooperation that has to take place every day at every level of our government. And so, we will blend urgency and persistence in pursuit of shared goals.

我们认识到，应对全球性的挑战取得有意义的进展需要经过多年的努力，并非指日可待。我们知道，这次会议本身为我们政府各级日常必须进行的持续合作奠定了基础。因此，为了实现共同的目标，我们既需要有紧迫性又需要有持久性。

We have already begun to see progress on some of the key areas of common concern that we laid out in our first dialogue last year. But there is much work to be done.

我们已经开始看到，对于去年双方第一轮对话期间确定的共同关心的问题，在主要领域的某些方面取得了进展。但还有许多工作需要做。

First, on international security challenges, the United States and China have consulted closely on the challenge posed by Iran’s nuclear program. The prospect of a nuclear-armed Iran concerns us all. And to address that threat, together we have pursued a dual-track approach of engagement and pressure, aimed at encouraging Iran’s leaders to change course. The draft resolution agreed to by all of our P-5+1 partners and circulated at the Security Council sends a clear message to the Iranian leadership: Live up to your obligation, or face growing isolation and consequences. As we continue to cooperate in New York, the burden is on Iran to demonstrate through its actions that it will uphold its responsibility.

首先，对于国际安全方面的挑战，美国和中国就伊朗核项目构成的挑战进行了密切协商。伊朗拥有核武器的可能性受到我们大家的关注。为了消除这个威胁，我们共同采取了接触与施压的双轨方式，目的是促使伊朗领导人改弦易辙。我们 “5常+1”的伙伴一致达成的决议草案已在安理会分发，此举向伊朗的领导层发出了一个明确的信息：履行你的义务，否则将日益受孤立，面临更严重的后果。我们在纽约继续进行合作之际，伊朗有责任通过自己的行动表明将承担本身的责任。

North Korea is also a matter of urgent concern. Last year we worked together to pass and enforce a strong UN Security Council resolution in the wake of North Korea’s nuclear test. And today we face another serious challenge, provoked by the sinking of the South Korean ship. So we must work together, again, to address this challenge and advance our shared objectives for peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula. We asked North Korea to stop its provocative behavior, halt its policy of threats and belligerence towards its neighbors, and take irreversible steps to fulfill its denuclearization commitments, and comply with international law.

北韩也是一个受到关注的紧迫问题。去年北韩进行核试验后，我们共同努力，通过和实施了一项措辞强硬的联合国安理会决议。今天，我们面临由韩国艇艇沉没引起的另一个严重挑战。因此，我们必须再次共同努力，应对这个挑战，推进我们实现朝鲜半岛和平与稳定的共同目标。我们要求北韩停止挑衅行为，停止对邻国进行恐吓和好战的政策，并采取不可逆转的步骤，履行其无核化的承诺，遵守国际法的规定。

Now, beyond these two pressing challenges there are other shared security concerns that I look forward to discussing, including the fight against violent extremism in Afghanistan and Pakistan, counter-piracy efforts, and deeper military-to-military cooperation.

现在，除了这两大紧迫的挑战之外，我还期待着讨论其他有关共同安全的问题，其中包括在阿富汗和巴基斯坦打击暴力极端主义，以及打击海盗的行动和更深入的军方与军方的合作。

Second, on climate and energy, we have built on the memorandum of understanding signed at the last round of the dialogues, collaborating on new, clean energy research, including a center. We have committed ourselves to an electrical vehicle initiative, and a renewable energy partnership, and more. At Copenhagen, for the first time, all major economies, including both the United States and China, made national commitments to curb carbon emissions and transparently report on their mitigation efforts. Now we must work to implement the Copenhagen accord with balanced commitments that are reflected in the ongoing negotiation.

其次，在气候和能源方面，我们在第一轮对话期间签署备忘录的基础上继续努力，为研究新的清洁能源进行合作，包括建设一个中心。我们已对电动汽车计划、可再生能源伙伴关系等给予承诺。在哥本哈根，所有主要经济体，包括美国和中国，第一次以国家的名义承诺限制二氧化碳排放并就各国缓解气候变化的努力提供透明的报告。现在我们必须努力实施哥本哈根协定，坚持正在进行的谈判所反映的实现整体平衡的承诺。

And on behalf of Secretary Steven Chu, I extend his regrets. He was unable to be with us, because he had to stay and work very urgently on the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.

我代表朱棣文（Steven Chu）部长表达他的遗憾。他无法与我们一起出席会议，因为他需要留在墨西哥湾，完成有关石油泄漏的紧迫工作。

Third, on education, health, and development, tomorrow I will meet with State Councilor Lio to launch a new dialogue on educational and cultural exchanges that will deepen understanding and cooperation between our people. I am very pleased that Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius has joined us this year to expand cooperation on infectious diseases and other international health challenges. Our ambassador for global women’s issues, Melanne Verveer, is also here because we recognize that the roles and rights of women are central to many of the issues we face, including devising a global strategy for development that is both sustainable and effective.

第三，教育、卫生与发展问题。明天我将会晤刘国务委员，开始新的关于教育和文化交流的对话，加深两国人民的相互理解和合作。我很高兴卫生与公众服务部部长凯瑟琳?西贝利厄斯（Kathleen Sebelius）今年加入我们的行列，为应对传染病和国际卫生领域其他方面的挑战扩大相互间的合作。我国全球妇女问题大使梅拉妮?弗维尔（Melanne Verveer）也在座，因为我们认识到，妇女的作用和权利对于解决我们面临的许多问题都举足轻重，其中包括制定可持续和切实有效的全球发展战略。

The Obama Administration has worked to advance a long-term investment-driven approach to development. And Administrator Raj Shah is leading our efforts. We have elevated development as a core pillar of our foreign policy, and we seek to coordinate with China and other donors to meet country-led needs and to comply with internationally-agreed standards.

对于发展问题，奥巴马政府努力促进长期投资驱动的模式。拉吉夫?沙赫（Administrator Raj Shah）署长负责主持这方面的工作。我们已经把发展提升为我国外交政策的一个核心支柱，我们正争取与中国和其他捐助方进行协调，以满足国家主导的需求，同时遵循国际公认的标准。

Finally, we have worked together and seen progress on promoting global economic recovery and growth. Secretary Geithner, Secretary Locke, Ambassador Kirk, Chairman Bernanke, and the rest of our economic team will be talking in greater depth about how we can develop a more balanced global economy that will produce prosperity that reaches further and deeper for both the Chinese and American people.

最后，我们已为促进全球经济复苏和增长进行了共同努力并且已经看到了进展。盖特纳部长、骆家辉（Locke）部长、柯克（Kirk）大使、伯南克（Bernanke）主席以及我们经济团队的其他成员将就我们如何促进全球经济的平衡进行更深入的讨论，为美中两国人民创造进一步的更大繁荣。

Now, our discussions in these few days are unlikely to solve the shared challenges we face. But they can and should provide a framework for delivering real results to our people. We will not agree on every issue. But we will discuss them openly, as between friends and partners. And that includes America’s commitment to universal human rights and dignity, and so much else that is on both Chinese and American minds.

当然，我们短短几天进行的讨论不可能解决我们共同面临的挑战，但我们能够而且应该提供一个有利于为两国人民带来实惠的框架。我们不可能在每一问题上达成一致，但我们能够像朋友和伙伴一样坦率地讨论这些问题，其中包括美国对普遍和尊严的承诺，以及中方和美方关心的许许多多其他问题。

There is a Chinese proverb that speaks of treading different paths that lead to the same destination. Our two nations have unique histories. China is home to an ancient civilization, as I saw in the Chinese Pavilion when I visited, with the scroll that has been made to come alive, showing life in this city 1,000 years ago. America is a young nation. But we know that our future, both our challenges and our opportunities, will be shared. We have traveled different paths, but that shared future is our common destination and responsibility. And, ultimately, that is what this dialogue is about.

中国有个成语，殊途同归。我们两国都有着独特的历史。中国是古代文明的发祥地之一。我在上海参观中国馆时看到的图像栩栩如生地展示了一千年以前的城市生活场景。美国是一个年轻的国家，但我们都知道，我们的未来，包括我们的挑战和机遇，都将是共同的。我们行进在不同的道路上，但共有的未来是我们共同的目的地和责任所在，归根结底也是这场对话的目的。

So, again, let me thank State Councilor Dai and Vice-Premier Wang, and I look forward to our discussions in an open and candid exchange of views. Thank you very much.

因此，我再次感谢戴国务委员和王副总理。我期待着我们通过公开、坦率的讨论交换意见。非常感谢诸位。
