奥巴马宣布本拉登死亡演讲稿
Good evening.Tonight I can report to the American people and to the world that the United States has conducted an operation that killed Osama bin Laden, the leader of al Qaeda, and a terrorist who is responsible for the murder of thousands of innocent men, women and children.晚上好，今晚，我可以向美国人民和世界报告，美国实施的一项行动击毙了基地组织头目拉登，这名恐怖分子谋杀了数千名无辜的男人、女人和儿童。
It was nearly 10 years ago that a bright September day was darkened by the worst attack on the American people in our history.The images of 9/11 are seared into our national memory.Hijacked planes cutting through a cloudless September sky, the Twin Towers collapsing to the ground, black smoke billowing up from the Pentagon, the wreckage of Flight 93 in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, where the actions of heroic citizens saved even more heartbreak and destruction.十年之前，九月份阳光明媚的一天因为美国历史上所遭受的最严重恐怖袭击而黯谈下来，911的景象成为我们国家记忆的一部分，被劫持飞机刺过无云的九月天空，世贸双塔轰然倒地，五角大楼冒出股股黑烟，宾夕法尼亚州尚克斯维尔93号航班的残骸，飞机上勇敢的公民避免了更多的心碎和破坏。
And yet, we know that the worst images are those that were unseen to the world, the empty seat at the dinner table, children who were forced to grow up without their mother or their father, parents who would never know the feeling of their child's embrace.Nearly 3,000 citizens taken from us, leaving a gaping hole in our hearts.我们知道最糟糕的景象是世界并未看到的景象：餐桌前的空椅子，儿童被迫在没有父亲或者母亲的情况下长大。父母们将永远不会知道他们孩子拥抱的情感。近3000名公民在恐怖袭击中丧生，这使我们深感悲痛。
On September 11th, 2001 in our time of grief, the American people came together.We offered our neighbors a hand, and we offered the wounded our blood.We reaffirmed our ties to each other, and our love of community and country.2011年9月11日，在我们的悲伤时刻，美国人民团结在一起。我们向我们的邻居伸出手，我们向伤者献血。我们重申了我们之间的联系。
On that day, no matter where we came from, what god we prayed to, or what race or ethnicity we were, we were united as one American family.在那一天，不管我们来自哪里，不管我们的宗教信仰如何，或者我们是什么种族或者民族，我们是团结的美国大家庭的一部分。
We were also united in our resolve to protect our nation and to bring those who committed this vicious attack to justice.We quickly learned that the 9/11 attacks were carried out by al Qaeda, an organization headed by Osama bin Laden, which had openly declared war on the United States and was
committed to killing innocence in our country and around the globe.我们在保护我们的国家、将实施这一邪恶袭击的肇事者绳之与法方面也团结一致。我们很快获悉，911恐怖袭击是基地组织所为，这个组织由拉登领导。该组织公然向美国宣战，致力在美国和全世界各地杀害无辜者。And so we went to war against al Qaeda, to protect our citizens, our friends and our allies.所以我们开始了与基地组织的战争，以保护我们的公民、我们的朋友、我们的盟友。
Over the last 10 years, thanks to the tireless and heroic work of our military and our counterterrorism professionals, we've made great strides in that effort.We've disrupted terrorist attacks and strengthened our homeland defense.In Afghanistan, we removed the Taliban government which had given bin Laden and al Qaeda safe haven and support.And around the globe, we've worked with our friends and allies to capture or kill scores of al Qaeda terrorists, including several who were a part of the 9/11 plot.在过去十年，由于我们军人和我们反恐专业人员毫不疲倦的和勇敢的工作，我们在反恐方面取得了重大进展。我们已挫败了恐怖分子的袭击，加强了我们的国土防御。在阿富汗，我们推翻了给拉登和基地组织庇护和支持的塔利班政府。在世界各地，我们与我们的朋友和盟国合作，抓获或者击毙了数十名基地组织恐怖分子，其中包括参与策划911恐怖袭击的数名恐怖分子。
Yet, Osama bin Laden avoided capture and escaped across the Afghan border into Pakistan.Meanwhile, al Qaeda continued to operate from along that border and operate through its affiliates across the world.And so shortly after taking office, I directed Leon Panetta, the director of the CIA, to make the killing or capture of bin Laden the top priority of our war against al Qaeda, even as we continued our broader efforts to disrupt, dismantle and defeat his network.不过，拉登仍然在逃，他从阿富汗边境进入了巴基斯坦。与此同时，基地组织仍然在巴阿边境活动，通过其附属组织在全球各地活动。所以，在我上任后不久，我指示中情局局长帕内塔将击毙或者抓获拉登列为我们打击基地组织的最优先事务，即便是在我们在继续更广泛的努力以挫败、清除和击败基地组织行动的情况下。
Then last August, after years of painstaking work by our intelligence community, I was briefed on a possible lead to bin Laden.It was far from certain, and it took many months to run this thread to ground.I met repeatedly with my national security team as we developed more information about the possibility that we had located bin Laden hiding within a compound deep inside Pakistan.And finally last week, I determined that we had enough intelligence to take action, and authorized an operation to get Osama bin Laden and bring
him to justice.去年八月，在经过我们情报部门的艰苦努力后，我得到了一个有关拉登线索的汇报。情报并不非常确凿，花了数个月的时间来跟进这个线索。我多次会见了我的国家安保团队，我们获得了更多的情报，这些情报表明我们可能已确定拉登隐藏在巴基斯坦境内的一个院落里。我上周决定我们已掌握了足够的证据来采取行动，我授权采取行动抓捕拉登，将其绳之与法。
Today, at my direction, the United States launched a targeted operation against that compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan.A small team of Americans carried out the operation with extraordinary courage and capability.No Americans were harmed.They took care to avoid civilian casualties.After a firefight, they killed Osama bin Laden and took custody of his body.For over two decades, bin Laden has been al Qaeda's leader and symbol and has continued to plot attacks against our country and our friends and allies.The death of bin Laden marks the most significant achievement to date in our nation's effort to defeat al Qaeda.今天，根据我的指令，美国发动了针对巴基斯坦阿巴特巴德一座建筑物的定点清除行动。一个美军突击组以无比的勇气和能力遂行了此次突击行动。行动中没有美国人受伤。他们注意避免平民伤亡。经过交火，他们击毙了奥萨马-本-拉登，并获得了他的尸体。在过去20年，本-拉登一直是基地组织的头目和标志，对我们国家、我们的朋友和盟友阴谋发动袭击。本-拉登被击毙是我们国家打击基地组织的最重大胜利。
Yet his death does not mark the end of our effort.There's no doubt that al Qaeda will continue to pursue attacks against us.We must and we will remain vigilant at home and abroad.As we do, we must also reaffirm that the United States is not and never will be at war with Islam.然而，本-拉登被打死并不意味着我们的努力已经终结。毫无疑问基地组织会继续对我们发动攻击。我们必须，我们也会在国内外保持警惕。
I've made clear, just as President Bush did shortly after 9/11, that our war is not against Islam, because bin Laden was not a Muslim leader.He was a mass murderer of Muslims.Indeed, al Qaeda has slaughtered scores of Muslims in many countries, including our own.So his demise should be welcomed by all who believe in peace and human dignity.如我们所做，我们必须再次重申美国现在没有，将来也不会同伊斯兰世界开战。如同911事件后不久布什总统所言，我已经澄清，我们的战争并非针对伊斯兰世界。本-拉登不是穆斯林的领袖，他是穆斯林的屠杀者。事实上，基地组织在许多国家杀害了大量穆斯林，也包括我们美国。因此他的死亡会受到所有相信和平和人类尊严的人的欢迎。
Over the years, I have repeatedly made clear that we would take action within Pakistan if we knew where bin Laden was.That is what we've done.But it's important to note that our counterterrorism cooperation with Pakistan helped lead us to bin Laden and the compound where he was hiding.Indeed, bin Laden had declared war against Pakistan as well and ordered attacks against the Pakistani people.过去多年间，我反复声明一旦知道本-拉登的藏身之地，我们将会在巴基斯坦境内采取行动。我们就是这样做的。同巴基斯坦的反恐合作帮助我们找到本-拉登和其藏身的处所，指出这一点是重要的。事实上，本-拉登也对巴基斯坦宣战，下令对巴基斯坦人民发动袭击。Tonight, I called President Zardari, and my team has also spoken with their Pakistani counterparts.They agree that this is a good and historic day for both of our nations.And going forward, it is essential that Pakistan continue to join us in the fight against al Qaeda and its affiliates.今晚，我同巴基斯坦总统扎尔达里通了电话，我的团队也同巴基斯坦同仁进行了沟通。他们同意对两国而言，这是一个有历史意义的好日子。巴基斯坦同我们合作共同打击基地组织及其分支是最根本的。
The American people did not choose this fight.It came to our shores and started with the senseless slaughter of our citizens.After nearly 10 years of service, struggle and sacrifice, we know well the costs of war.These efforts weigh on me every time I, as commander-in-chief, have to sign a letter to a family that has lost a loved one, or look into the eyes of a service member who's been gravely wounded.美国人民没有选择这场战争，而是战火烧到了我们的国家，以无情地屠杀我们的民众为发端。经过近十年的服务、斗争和牺牲，我们深知战争的代价。每当作为总司令的我签署致丧失挚爱亲人的家庭的信件时，或凝视一名重伤的军人的双眼时，我深深感到了为反恐所做努力的分量。
So Americans understand the costs of war.Yet, as a country, we will never tolerate our security being threatened, nor stand idly by when our people have been killed.We will be relentless in defense of our citizens and our friends and allies.We will be true to the values that make us who we are.And on nights like this one, we can say to those families who have lost loved ones to al Qaeda's terror: Justice has been done.因此，美国人理解战争的代价。作为一个国家，我们不会容忍我们的安全受到威胁，或者我们的人民被杀害时还无所事事。我们将为保护我们的人民、朋友和盟友而不懈努力。我们将坚持所信奉的价值观。在像今天一样的夜晚，我们能够向那些因基地组织恐怖活动而失去挚爱亲人的家庭说一声：正义得以伸张。Tonight we give thanks to the countless intelligence and counterterrorism professionals who have worked tirelessly to achieve this outcome.The American people do not see their work or know their names, but tonight they feel the satisfaction of their work and the result of their pursuit of justice.今晚，我对无数的情报和反恐专业人士表示感谢，正是他们不知疲倦地工作才取得了这一重大成绩。美国人民无法看到他们的工作，也不知道他们的姓名。但是今晚，他们为他们的工作感到满意，为他们追求正义终有结果感到欣慰。We give thanks for the men who carried out this operation, for they exemplify the professionalism, patriotism and unparalleled courage of those who serve our country.And they're a part of the generation that
has borne the heaviest share of the burden since that September day.我对那些开展突袭行动的人表示感谢，他们以专业、爱国和无比的勇气成为我们国家军人中的典范。而且他们是911之后负担最重一代人中的成员。
Finally, let me say to the families who lost loved ones on 9/11 that we have never forgotten your loss, nor wavered in our commitment to see that we do whatever it takes to prevent another attack on our shores.最后，我想对那些在911事件中失去挚爱亲人的家庭说，我们从没有忘掉你们的苦痛，而且我们采取一切措施防止美国境内发生另一起恐怖袭击的决心从未动摇。
And tonight, let us think back to the sense of unity that prevailed on 9/11.I know that it has, at times, frayed.Yet today's achievement is a testament to the greatness of our country and the determination of the American people.The cause of securing our country is not complete, but tonight we are once again reminded that America can do whatever we set our mind to.That is the story of our history, whether it's the pursuit of prosperity for our people, or the struggle for equality for all our citizens, our commitment to stand up for our values abroad, and our sacrifices to make the world a safer place.今晚，回想911事件刚发生后，美国人民团结一致。我知道，美国的团结程度有时会减弱。但是今天的成就证明了美国的伟大和美国人民的决心。保卫我们国家的安全的事业并未完结。今晚，事实再次提醒我们，美国一旦决定去做一定能做成任何事情。这也是我们的历史所证明的，不管是人民追求繁荣发展，还是全体公民追求平等；决心在国外传播我们的价值观，抑或为使全世界更为安全所做的牺牲。
Let us remember that we can do these things, not just because of wealth or power, but because of who we are: One nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.让我们铭记，我们能做成这些事情并不是因为我们的财富或权力，而是因为我们是上帝之下一个不可分割的国家，在这里，人人享有自由和正义。Thank you.May God bless you, and may God bless the United States of America.谢谢，愿上帝保佑你们，上帝保佑美国。
奥巴马的开学演讲（中英文）
Arlington, Virginia 12:06 P.M.EDT
THE PRESIDENT: Hello, everybody!Thank you.Thank you.Thank you, everybody.All right, everybody go ahead and have a seat.How is everybody doing today?(Applause.)How about Tim Spicer?(Applause.)I am here with students at Wakefield High School in Arlington, Virginia.And we've got students tuning in from all across America, from kindergarten through 12th grade.And I am just so glad that all could join us today.And I want to thank Wakefield for being such an outstanding host.Give yourselves a big round of applause.(Applause.)
I know that for many of you, today is the first day of school.And for those of you in kindergarten, or starting middle or high school, it's your first day in a new school, so it's understandable if you're a little nervous.I imagine there are some seniors out there who are feeling pretty good right now--(applause)--with just one more year to go.And no matter what grade you're in, some of you are probably wishing it were still summer and you could've stayed in bed just a little bit longer this morning.I know that feeling.When I was young, my family lived overseas.I lived in Indonesia for a few years.And my mother, she didn't have the money to send me where all the American kids went to school, but she thought it was important for me to keep up with an American education.So she decided to teach me extra lessons herself, Monday through Friday.But because she had to go to work, the only time she could do it was at 4:30 in the morning.Now, as you might imagine, I wasn't too happy about getting up that early.And a lot of times, I'd fall asleep right there at the kitchen table.But whenever I'd complain, my mother would just give me one of those looks and she'd say, “This is no picnic for me either, buster.”(Laughter.)
So I know that some of you are still adjusting to being back at school.But I'm here today because I have something important to discuss with you.I'm here because I want to talk with you about your education and what's expected of all of you in this new school year.Now, I've given a lot of speeches about education.And I've talked about responsibility a lot.I've talked about teachers' responsibility for inspiring students and pushing you to learn.I've talked about your parents' responsibility for making sure you stay on track, and you get your homework done, and don't spend every waking hour in front of the TV or with the Xbox.I've talked a lot about your government's responsibility for setting high standards, and supporting teachers and principals, and turning around schools that aren't working, where students aren't getting the opportunities that they deserve.But at the end of the day, we can have the most dedicated teachers, the most supportive parents, the best schools in the world--and none of it will make a difference, none of it will matter unless all of you fulfill your responsibilities, unless you show up to those schools, unless you pay attention to those teachers, unless you listen to your parents and grandparents and other adults and put in the hard work it takes to succeed.That's what I want to focus on today: the responsibility each of you has for your education.I want to start with the responsibility you have to yourself.Every single one of you has something that you're good at.Every single one of you has something to offer.And you
have a responsibility to yourself to discover what that is.That's the opportunity an education can provide.Maybe you could be a great writer--maybe even good enough to write a book or articles in a newspaper--but you might not know it until you write that English paper--that English class paper that's assigned to you.Maybe you could be an innovator or an inventor--maybe even good enough to come up with the next iPhone or the new medicine or vaccine--but you might not know it until you do your project for your science class.Maybe you could be a mayor or a senator or a Supreme Court justice--but you might not know that until you join student government or the debate team.And no matter what you want to do with your life, I guarantee that you'll need an education to do it.You want to be a doctor, or a teacher, or a police officer? You want to be a nurse or an architect, a lawyer or a member of our military? You're going to need a good education for every single one of those careers.You cannot drop out of school and just drop into a good job.You've got to train for it and work for it and learn for it.And this isn't just important for your own life and your own future.What you make of your education will decide nothing less than the future of this country.The future of America depends on you.What you're learning in school today will determine whether we as a nation can meet our greatest challenges in the future.You'll need the knowledge and problem-solving skills you learn in science and math to cure diseases like cancer and AIDS, and to develop new energy technologies and protect our environment.You'll need the insights and critical-thinking skills you gain in history and social studies to fight poverty and homelessness, crime and discrimination, and make our nation more fair and more free.You'll need the creativity and ingenuity you develop in all your classes to build new companies that will create new jobs and boost our economy.We need every single one of you to develop your talents and your skills and your intellect so you can help us old folks solve our most difficult problems.If you don't do that--if you quit on school--you're not just quitting on yourself, you're quitting on your country.Now, I know it's not always easy to do well in school.I know a lot of you have challenges in your lives right now that can make it hard to focus on your schoolwork.I get it.I know what it's like.My father left my family when I was two years old, and I was raised by a single mom who had to work and who struggled at times to pay the bills and wasn't always able to give us the things that other kids had.There were times when I missed having a father in my life.There were times when I was lonely and I felt like I didn't fit in.So I wasn't always as focused as I should have been on school, and I did some things I'm not proud of, and I got in more trouble than I should have.And my life could have easily
taken a turn for the worse.But I was--I was lucky.I got a lot of second chances, and I had the opportunity to go to college and law school and follow my dreams.My wife, our First Lady Michelle Obama, she has a similar story.Neither of her parents had gone to college, and they didn't have a lot of money.But they worked hard, and she worked hard, so that she could go to the best schools in this country.Some of you might not have those advantages.Maybe you don't have adults in your life who give you the support that you need.Maybe someone in your family has lost their job and there's not enough money to go around.Maybe you live in a neighborhood where you don't feel safe, or have friends who are pressuring you to do things you know aren't right.But at the end of the day, the circumstances of your life--what you look like, where you come from, how much money you have, what you've got going on at home--none of that is an excuse for neglecting your homework or having a bad attitude in school.That's no excuse for talking back to your teacher, or cutting class, or dropping out of school.There is no excuse for not trying.Where you are right now doesn't have to determine where you'll end up.No one's written your destiny for you, because here in America, you write your own destiny.You make your own future.That's what young people like you are doing every day, all across America.Young people like Jazmin Perez, from Roma, Texas.Jazmin didn't speak English when she first started school.Neither of her parents had gone to college.But she worked hard, earned good grades, and got a scholarship to Brown University--is now in graduate school, studying public health, on her way to becoming Dr.Jazmin Perez.I'm thinking about Andoni Schultz, from Los Altos, California, who's fought brain cancer since he was three.He's had to endure all sorts of treatments and surgeries, one of which affected his memory, so it took him much longer--hundreds of extra hours--to do his schoolwork.But he never fell behind.He's headed to college this fall.And then there's Shantell Steve, from my hometown of Chicago, Illinois.Even when bouncing from foster home to foster home in the toughest neighborhoods in the city, she managed to get a job at a local health care center, start a program to keep young people out of gangs, and she's on track to graduate high school with honors and go on to college.And Jazmin, Andoni, and Shantell aren't any different from any of you.They face challenges in their lives just like you do.In some cases they've got it a lot worse off than many of you.But they refused to give up.They chose to take responsibility for their lives, for their education, and set goals for themselves.And I expect all of you to do the same.That's why today I'm calling on each of you to set your own goals for your education--and do everything you can to meet them.Your goal can be something as simple as doing all your homework, paying attention in class, or spending some time each day reading a book.Maybe you'll decide to get involved in an extracurricular activity, or volunteer in your community.Maybe you'll decide to stand up for kids who are being teased or bullied because of who they are or how they look, because you believe, like I do, that all young people deserve a safe environment to study and learn.Maybe you'll decide to take better care of yourself so you can be more ready to learn.And along those lines, by the way, I hope all of you are washing your hands a lot, and that you stay home from school when you don't feel well, so we can keep people from getting the flu this fall and winter.But whatever you resolve to do, I want you to commit to it.I want you to really work at it.I know that sometimes you get that sense from TV that you can be rich and successful without any hard work--that your ticket to success is through rapping or basketball or being a reality TV star.Chances are you're not going to be any of those things.The truth is, being successful is hard.You won't love every subject that you study.You won't click with every teacher that you have.Not every homework assignment will seem completely relevant to your life right at this minute.And you won't necessarily succeed at everything the first time you try.That's okay.Some of the most successful people in the world are the ones who've had the most failures.J.K.Rowling's--who wrote Harry Potter--her first Harry Potter book was rejected 12 times before it was finally published.Michael Jordan was cut from his high school basketball team.He lost hundreds of games and missed thousands of shots during his career.But he once said, “I have failed over and over and over again in my life.And that's why I succeed.”
These people succeeded because they understood that you can't let your failures define you--you have to let your failures teach you.You have to let them show you what to do differently the next time.So if you get into trouble, that doesn't mean you're a troublemaker, it means you need to try harder to act right.If you get a bad grade, that doesn't mean you're stupid, it just means you need to spend more time studying.No one's born being good at all things.You become good at things through hard work.You're not a varsity athlete the first time you play a new sport.You don't hit every note the first time you sing a song.You've got to practice.The same principle applies to your schoolwork.You might have to do a math problem a few times before you get it right.You might have to read something a few times before you understand it.You definitely have to do a few drafts of a paper before it's good enough to hand in.Don't be afraid to ask questions.Don't be afraid to ask for help when you need it.I do that every day.Asking for help isn't a sign of weakness, it's a sign of strength because it shows
you have the courage to admit when you don't know something, and that then allows you to learn something new.So find an adult that you trust--a parent, a grandparent or teacher, a coach or a counselor--and ask them to help you stay on track to meet your goals.And even when you're struggling, even when you're discouraged, and you feel like other people have given up on you, don't ever give up on yourself, because when you give up on yourself, you give up on your country.The story of America isn't about people who quit when things got tough.It's about people who kept going, who tried harder, who loved their country too much to do anything less than their best.It's the story of students who sat where you sit 250 years ago, and went on to wage a revolution and they founded this nation.Young people.Students who sat where you sit 75 years ago who overcame a Depression and won a world war;who fought for civil rights and put a man on the moon.Students who sat where you sit 20 years ago who founded Google and Twitter and Facebook and changed the way we communicate with each other.So today, I want to ask all of you, what's your contribution going to be? What problems are you going to solve? What discoveries will you make? What will a President who comes here in 20 or 50 or 100 years say about what all of you did for this country?
Now, your families, your teachers, and I are doing everything we can to make sure you have the education you need to answer these questions.I'm working hard to fix up your classrooms and get you the books and the equipment and the computers you need to learn.But you've got to do your part, too.So I expect all of you to get serious this year.I expect you to put your best effort into everything you do.I expect great things from each of you.So don't let us down.Don't let your family down or your country down.Most of all, don't let yourself down.Make us all proud.Thank you very much, everybody.God bless you.God bless America.Thank you.(Applause.)END
弗吉尼亚州，阿林顿市，2009年9月8日
嗨，大家好！你们今天过得怎么样？我现在和弗吉尼亚州阿林顿郡韦克菲尔德高中的学生们在一起，全国各地也有从幼儿园到高三的众多学生们通过电视关注这里，我很高兴你们能共同分享这一时刻。
我知道，对你们中的许多人来说，今天是开学的第一天，你们中的有一些刚刚进入幼儿园或升上初高中，对你们来说，这是在新学校的第一天，因此，假如你们感到有些紧张，那也是很正常的。我想也会有许多毕业班的学生们正自信满满地准备最后一年的冲刺。不过，我想无论你有多大、在读哪个年级，许多人都打心底里希望现在还在放暑假，以及今天不用那么
早起床。
我可以理解这份心情。小时候，我们家在印度尼西亚住过几年，而我妈妈没钱送我去其他美国孩子们上学的地方去读书，因此她决定自己给我上课——时间是每周一到周五的凌晨4点半。
显然，我不怎么喜欢那么早就爬起来，很多时候，我就这么在厨房的桌子前睡着了。每当我埋怨的时候，我妈总会用同一副表情看着我说：“小鬼，你以为教你我就很轻松？”
所以，我可以理解你们中的许多人对于开学还需要时间来调整和适应，但今天我站在这里，是为了和你们谈一些重要的事情。我要和你们谈一谈你们每个人的教育，以及在新的学年里，你们应当做些什么。
我做过许多关于教育的讲话，也常常用到“责任”这个词。我谈到过教师们有责任激励和启迪你们，督促你们学习。
我谈到过家长们有责任看管你们认真学习、完成作业，不要成天只会看电视或打游戏机。我也很多次谈到过政府有责任设定高标准严要求、协助老师和校长们的工作，改变在有些学校里学生得不到应有的学习机会的现状。
但哪怕这一切都达到最好，哪怕我们有最尽职的教师、最好的家长、和最优秀的学校，假如你们不去履行自己的责任的话，那么这一切努力都会白费。——除非你每天准时去上学、除非你认真地听老师讲课、除非你把父母、长辈和其他大人们说的话放在心上、除非你肯付出成功所必需的努力，否则这一切都会失去意义。
而这就是我今天讲话的主题：对于自己的教育，你们中每一个人的责任。首先，我想谈谈你们对于自己有什么责任。
你们中的每一个人都会有自己擅长的东西，每一个人都是有用之材，而发现自己的才能是什么，就是你们要对自己担起的责任。教育给你们提供了发现自己才能的机会。
或许你能写出优美的文字——甚至有一天能让那些文字出现在书籍和报刊上——但假如不在英语课上经常练习写作，你不会发现自己有这样的天赋；或许你能成为一个发明家、创造家——甚至设计出像今天的iPhone一样流行的产品，或研制出新的药物与疫苗——但假如不在自然科学课程上做上几次实验，你不会知道自己有这样的天赋；或许你能成为一名议员或最高法院法官，但假如你不去加入什么学生会或参加几次辩论赛，你也不会发现自己的才能。而且，我可以向你保证，不管你将来想要做什么，你都需要相应的教育。——你想当名医生、当名教师或当名警官？你想成为护士、成为建筑设计师、律师或军人？无论你选择哪一种职业，良好的教育都必不可少，这世上不存在不把书念完就能拿到好工作的美梦，任何工作，都需要你的汗水、训练与学习。
不仅仅对于你们个人的未来有重要意义，你们的教育如何也会对这个国家、乃至世界的未来产生重要影响。今天你们在学校中学习的内容，将会决定我们整个国家在未来迎接重大挑战时的表现。
你们需要在数理科学课程上学习的知识和技能，去治疗癌症、艾滋那样的疾病，和解决我们面临的能源问题与环境问题；你们需要在历史社科课程上培养出的观察力与判断力，来减轻和消除无家可归与贫困、犯罪问题和各种歧视，让这个国家变得更加公平和自由；你们需要在各类课程中逐渐累积和发展出来的创新意识和思维，去创业和建立新的公司与企业，来制造就业机会和推动经济的增长。
我们需要你们中的每一个人都培养和发展自己的天赋、技能和才智，来解决我们所面对的最困难的问题。假如你不这么做——假如你放弃学习——那么你不仅是放弃了自己，也是放弃了你的国家。
当然，我明白，读好书并不总是件容易的事。我知道你们中的许多人在生活中面临着各种各
样的问题，很难把精力集中在专心读书之上。
我知道你们的感受。我父亲在我两岁时就离开了家庭，是母亲一人将我们拉扯大，有时她付不起帐单，有时我们得不到其他孩子们都有的东西，有时我会想，假如父亲在该多好，有时我会感到孤独无助，与周围的环境格格不入。因此我并不总是能专心学习，我做过许多自己觉得丢脸的事情，也惹出过许多不该惹的麻烦，我的生活岌岌可危，随时可能急转直下。
但我很幸运。我在许多事上都得到了重来的机会，我得到了去大学读法学院、实现自己梦想的机会。我的妻子——现在得叫她第一夫人米歇尔•奥巴马了——也有着相似的人生故事，她的父母都没读过大学，也没有什么财产，但他们和她都辛勤工作，好让她有机会去这个国家最优秀的学校读书。
你们中有些人可能没有这些有利条件，或许你的生活中没有能为你提供帮助和支持的长辈，或许你的某个家长没有工作、经济拮据，或许你住的社区不那么安全，或许你认识一些会对你产生不良影响的朋友，等等。
但归根结底，你的生活状况——你的长相、出身、经济条件、家庭氛围——都不是疏忽学业和态度恶劣的借口，这些不是你去跟老师顶嘴、逃课、或是辍学的借口，这些不是你不好好读书的借口。
你的未来，并不取决于你现在的生活有多好或多坏。没有人为你编排好你的命运，在美国，你的命运由你自己书写，你的未来由你自己掌握。
而在这片土地上的每个地方，千千万万和你一样的年轻人正是这样在书写着自己的命运。例如德克萨斯州罗马市的贾斯敏•佩雷兹（Jazmin Perez）。刚进学校时，她根本不会说英语，她住的地方几乎没人上过大学，她的父母也没有受过高等教育，但她努力学习，取得了优异的成绩，靠奖学金进入了布朗大学，如今正在攻读公共卫生专业的博士学位。
我还想起了加利福尼亚州洛斯拉图斯市的安多尼•舒尔兹（Andoni Schultz），他从三岁起就开始与脑癌病魔做斗争，他熬过了一次次治疗与手术——其中一次影响了他的记忆，因此他得花出比常人多几百个小时的时间来完成学业，但他从不曾落下自己的功课。这个秋天，他要开始在大学读书了。
又比如在我的家乡，伊利诺斯州芝加哥市，身为孤儿的香特尔•史蒂夫（Shantell Steve）换过多次收养家庭，从小在治安很差的地区长大，但她努力争取到了在当地保健站工作的机会、发起了一个让青少年远离犯罪团伙的项目，很快，她也将以优异的成绩从中学毕业，去大学深造。
贾斯敏、安多尼和香特尔与你们并没有什么不同。和你们一样，他们也在生活中遭遇各种各样的困难与问题，但他们拒绝放弃，他们选择为自己的教育担起责任、给自己定下奋斗的目标。我希望你们中的每一个人，都能做得到这些。
因此，在今天，我号召你们每一个人都为自己的教育定下一个目标——并在之后，尽自己的一切努力去实现它。你的目标可以很简单，像是完成作业、认真听讲或每天阅读——或许你打算参加一些课外活动，或在社区做些志愿工作；或许你决定为那些因为长相或出身等等原因而受嘲弄或欺负的孩子做主、维护他们的权益，因为你和我一样，认为每个孩子都应该能有一个安全的学习环境；或许你认为该学着更好的照顾自己，来为将来的学习做准备……当然，除此之外，我希望你们都多多洗手、感到身体不舒服的时候要多在家休息，免得大家在秋冬感冒高发季节都得流感。
不管你决定做什么，我都希望你能坚持到底，希望你能真的下定决心。我知道有些时候，电视上播放的节目会让你产生这样那样的错觉，似乎你不需要付出多大的努力就能腰缠万贯、功成名就——你会认为只要会唱rap、会打篮球或参加个什么真人秀节目就能坐享其成，但现实是，你几乎没有可能走上其中任何一条道路。
因为，成功是件难事。你不可能对要读的每门课程都兴趣盎然，你不可能和每名带课教师都相处顺利，你也不可能每次都遇上看起来和现实生活有关的作业。而且，并不是每件事，你都能在头一次尝试时获得成功。
但那没有关系。因为在这个世界上，最最成功的人们往往也经历过最多的失败。J.K.罗琳的第一本《哈利•波特》被出版商拒绝了十二次才最终出版；迈克尔•乔丹上高中时被学校的篮球队刷了下来，在他的职业生涯里，他输了几百场比赛、投失过几千次射篮，知道他是怎么说的吗？“我一生不停地失败、失败再失败，这就是我现在成功的原因。”
他们的成功，源于他们明白人不能让失败左右自己——而是要从中吸取经验。从失败中，你可以明白下一次自己可以做出怎样的改变；假如你惹了什么麻烦，那并不说明你就是个捣蛋贵，而是在提醒你，在将来要对自己有更严格的要求；假如你考了个低分，那并不说明你就比别人笨，而是在告诉你，自己得在学习上花更多的时间。没有哪一个人一生出来就擅长做什么事情的，只有努力才能培养出技能。任何人都不是在第一次接触一项体育运动时就成为校队的代表，任何人都不是在第一次唱一首歌时就找准每一个音，一切都需要熟能生巧。对于学业也是一样，你或许要反复运算才能解出一道数学题的正确答案，你或许需要读一段文字好几遍才能理解它的意思，你或许得把论文改上好几次才能符合提交的标准。这都是很正常的。
不要害怕提问。不要不敢向他人求助。——我每天都在这么做。求助并不是软弱的表现，恰恰相反，它说明你有勇气承认自己的不足、并愿意去学习新的知识。所以，有不懂时，就向大人们求助吧——找个你信得过的对象，例如父母、长辈、老师、教练或辅导员——让他们帮助你向目标前进。
你要记住，哪怕你表现不好、哪怕你失去信心、哪怕你觉得身边的人都已经放弃了你——永远不要自己放弃自己。因为当你放弃自己的时候，你也放弃了自己的国家。美国不是一个人们遭遇困难就轻易放弃的国度，在这个国家，人们坚持到底、人们加倍努力，为了他们所热爱的国度，每一个人都尽着自己最大的努力，不会给自己留任何余地。250年前，有一群和你们一样的学生，他们之后奋起努力、用一场革命最终造就了这个国家；75年前，有一群和你们一样的学生，他们之后战胜了大萧条、赢得了二战；就在20年前，和你们一样的学生们，他们后来创立了Google、Twitter和Facebook，改变了我们人与人之间沟通的方式。因此，今天我想要问你们，你们会做出什么样的贡献？你们将解决什么样的难题？你们能发现什么样的事物？
二十、五十或百年之后，假如那时的美国总统也来做一次开学演讲的话，他会怎样描述你们对这个国家所做的一切？
你们的家长、你们的老师和我，每一个人都在尽最大的努力，确保你们都能得到应有的教育来回答这些问题。例如我正在努力为你们提供更安全的教室、更多的书籍、更先进的设施与计算机。但你们也要担起自己的责任。因此我要求你们在今年能够认真起来，我要求你们尽心地去做自己着手的每一件事，我要求你们每一个人都有所成就。请不要让我们失望——不要让你的家人、你的国家和你自己失望。你们要成为我们骄傲，我知道，你们一定可以做到。谢谢大家，上帝保佑你们，上帝保佑美国。

Good evening.Tonight, I can report to the American people and to the world that the United States has conducted an operation that killed Osama bin Laden, the leader of al Qaeda, and a terrorist who’s responsible for the murder of thousands of innocent men, women, and children.晚上好。今天晚上，我终于能向美国人民和全世界宣布，美国指挥的一项行动已经将基地组织的头目，为成千上万美国无辜的男人女人和儿童的死亡负责的奥萨马·本·拉登击毙。It was nearly 10 years ago that a bright September day was darkened by the worst attack on the American people in our history.The images of 9/11 are seared into our national memory--hijacked planes cutting through a cloudless September sky;the Twin Towers collapsing to the ground;black smoke billowing up from the Pentagon;the wreckage of Flight 93 in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, where the actions of heroic citizens saved even more heartbreak and destruction.当年那个阳光明媚的九月被美国有史以来遭受的最惨重的恐怖袭击遮蔽，这件事距今就要有十年了。911事件的情景一直留在我们全国人民的记忆中——被劫持的飞机划过万里无云的九月晴空；双子塔轰然倒塌；五角大楼冒出浓浓黑烟；93航班上英勇的乘客们为了挽救更多无辜生命采取行动让飞机坠毁在宾夕法尼亚。
And yet we know that the worst images are those that were unseen to the world.The empty seat at the dinner table.Children who were forced to grow up without their mother or their father.Parents who would never know the feeling of their child’s embrace.Nearly 3,000 citizens taken from us, leaving a gaping hole in our hearts.然而，我们知道，最惨痛的景象是那些无法展示在世人面前的。餐桌边空空的座位，孩子们不得不在没有父母的环境下成长。父母们再也感受不到孩子们的拥抱。我们的身边被夺走了将近3000个生命，在我们的心中留下巨大的空洞。
On September 11, 2001, in our time of grief, the American people came together.We offered our neighbors a hand, and we offered the wounded our blood.We reaffirmed our ties to each other, and our love of community and country.On that day, no matter where we came from, what God we prayed to, or what race or ethnicity we were, we were united as one American family.2001年9月11日，在我们悲伤的时刻，美国人民团结在一起了。我们向邻居们伸出援手，我们向伤者捐出献血，我们重新确认了彼此之间的羁绊以及我们对社区和国家的爱。在那一天，不管我们来自何方、信仰什么宗教、属于什么种族，我们都被紧紧联系在了美国这个大家庭里。
We were also united in our resolve to protect our nation and to bring those who committed this vicious attack to justice.We quickly learned that the 9/11 attacks were carried out by al Qaeda--an organization headed by Osama bin Laden, which had openly declared war on the United States and was committed to killing innocents in our country and around the globe.And so we went to war against al Qaeda to protect our citizens, our friends, and our allies.在保护我们的国家，给那些应该对这起恶性攻击负责的人以正义制裁的决心面前，我们也万众一心。很快我们就意识到911恐怖袭击是由基地组织策划的，这个组织的头目就是奥萨马·本·拉登，他曾经公开对美国宣战，在我们的国家和全世界都犯下了杀害无辜生命的罪行。于是，我们对基地组织开战，以保护我们的市民、我们的朋友和我们的盟友们。Over the last 10 years, thanks to the tireless and heroic work of our military and our counterterrorism professionals, we’ve made great strides in that effort.We’ve disrupted terrorist attacks and strengthened our homeland defense.In Afghanistan, we removed the Taliban government, which had given bin Laden and al Qaeda safe haven and support.And around the globe, we worked with our friends and allies to capture or kill scores of al Qaeda terrorists, including several who were a part of the 9/11 plot.在过去的十年里，在我们的军人和反恐专家不懈而英勇的工作下，我们取得了巨大的成效。我们粉碎了恐怖袭击、加强了我们的国土安全。在阿富汗，我们击退了为基地组织提供安全避难和支持的塔利班政府。在全球，我们和朋友及盟友一起或抓住或击毙了数十名基地恐怖分子，其中包括一些911事件的始作俑者。
Yet Osama bin Laden avoided capture and escaped across the Afghan border into Pakistan.Meanwhile, al Qaeda continued to operate from along that border and operate through its affiliates across the world.And so shortly after taking office, I directed Leon Panetta, the director of the CIA, to make the killing or capture of bin Laden the top priority of our war against al Qaeda, even as we continued our broader efforts to disrupt, dismantle, and defeat his network.Then, last August, after years of painstaking work by our intelligence community, I was briefed on a possible lead to bin Laden.It was far from certain, and it took many months to run this thread to ground.I met repeatedly with my national security team as we developed more information about the possibility that we had located bin Laden hiding within a compound deep inside of Pakistan.And finally, last week, I determined that we had enough intelligence to take action, and authorized an operation to get Osama bin Laden and bring him to justice.Today, at my direction, the United States launched a targeted operation against that compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan.A small team of Americans carried out the operation with extraordinary courage and capability.No Americans were harmed.They took care to avoid civilian casualties.After a firefight, they killed Osama bin Laden and took custody of his body.For over two decades, bin Laden has been al Qaeda’s leader and symbol, and has continued to plot attacks against our country and our friends and allies.The death of bin Laden marks the most significant achievement to date in our nation’s effort to defeat al Qaeda.Yet his death does not mark the end of our effort.There’s no doubt that al Qaeda will continue to pursue attacks against us.We must –-and we will--remain vigilant at home and abroad.As we do, we must also reaffirm that the United States is not –-and never will be-– at war with Islam.I’ve made clear, just as President Bush did shortly after 9/11, that our war is not against Islam.Bin Laden was not a Muslim leader;he was a mass murderer of Muslims.Indeed, al Qaeda has slaughtered scores of Muslims in many countries, including our own.So his demise should be welcomed by all who believe in peace and human dignity.Over the years, I’ve repeatedly made clear that we would take action within Pakistan if we knew where bin Laden was.That is what we’ve done.But it’s important to note that our counterterrorism cooperation with Pakistan helped lead us to bin Laden and the compound where he was hiding.Indeed, bin Laden had declared war against Pakistan as well, and ordered attacks against the Pakistani people.Tonight, I called President Zardari, and my team has also spoken with their Pakistani counterparts.They agree that this is a good and historic day for both of our nations.And going forward, it is essential that Pakistan continue to join us in the fight against al Qaeda and its affiliates.The American people did not choose this fight.It came to our shores, and started with the senseless slaughter of our citizens.After nearly 10 years of service, struggle, and sacrifice, we know well the costs of war.These efforts weigh on me every time I, as Commander-in-Chief, have to sign a letter to a family that has lost a loved one, or look into the eyes of a service member who’s been gravely wounded.So Americans understand the costs of war.Yet as a country, we will never tolerate our security being threatened, nor stand idly by when our people have been killed.We will be relentless in defense of our citizens and our friends and allies.We will be true to the values that make us who we are.And on nights like this one, we can say to those families who have lost loved ones to al Qaeda’s terror: Justice has been done.Tonight, we give thanks to the countless intelligence and counterterrorism professionals who’ve worked tirelessly to achieve this outcome.The American people do not see their work, nor know their names.But tonight, they feel the satisfaction of their work and the result of their pursuit of justice.We give thanks for the men who carried out this operation, for they exemplify the professionalism, patriotism, and unparalleled courage of those who serve our country.And they are part of a generation that has borne the heaviest share of the burden since that September day.Finally, let me say to the families who lost loved ones on 9/11 that we have never forgotten your loss, nor wavered in our commitment to see that we do whatever it takes to prevent another attack on our shores.And tonight, let us think back to the sense of unity that prevailed on 9/11.I know that it has, at times, frayed.Yet today’s achievement is a testament to the greatness of our country and the determination of the American people.The cause of securing our country is not complete.But tonight, we are once again reminded that America can do whatever we set our mind to.That is the story of our history, whether it’s the pursuit of prosperity for our people, or the struggle for equality for all our citizens;our commitment to stand up for our values abroad, and our sacrifices to make the world a safer place.Let us remember that we can do these things not just because of wealth or power, but because of who we are: one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.Thank you.May God bless you.And may God bless the United States of America.

Good evening.Tonight, I can report to the American people and to the world that the United States has conducted an operation that killed Osama bin Laden, the leader of al Qaeda, and a terrorist who’s responsible for the murder of thousands of innocent men, women, and children.晚上好。今天晚上，我终于能向美国人民和全世界宣布，美国指挥的一项行动已经将基地组织的头目奥萨马·本·拉登击毙，他要为成千上万美国无辜的男人女人和儿童的死亡负责。
It was nearly 10 years ago that a bright September day was darkened by the worst attack on the American people in our history.The images of 9/11 are seared into our national memory--hijacked planes cutting through a cloudless September sky;the Twin Towers collapsing to the ground;black smoke billowing up from the Pentagon;the wreckage of Flight 93 in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, where the actions of heroic citizens saved even more heartbreak and destruction.那个阳光明媚的九月被美国有史以来遭受的最惨重的恐怖袭击遮蔽，距今就要十年了。911事件的情景一直留在全国人民的记忆中——被劫持的飞机划过万里无云的九月晴空；双子塔轰然倒塌；五角大楼冒出浓浓黑烟；93航班上英勇的乘客们为了挽救更多无辜生命采取行动让飞机坠毁在宾夕法尼亚。
And yet we know that the worst images are those that were unseen to the world.The empty seat at the dinner table.Children who were forced to grow up without their mother or their father.Parents who would never know the feeling of their child’s embrace.Nearly 3,000 citizens taken from us, leaving a gaping hole in our hearts.然而，我们知道，最惨痛的景象是那些无法展示在世人面前的。餐桌边空空的座位，孩子们不得不在没有父母的环境下成长。父母们再也感受不到孩子们的拥抱。我们的身边被夺走了将近3000个生命，在我们的心中留下沉痛的悲伤。
On September 11, 2001, in our time of grief, the American people came together.We offered our neighbors a hand, and we offered the wounded our blood.We reaffirmed our ties to each other, and our love of community and country.On that day, no matter where we came from, what God we prayed to, or what race or ethnicity we were, we were united as one American family.2001年9月11日，在我们悲伤的时刻，美国人民团结在一起了。我们向邻居们伸出援手，我们向伤者捐出献血，我们重新确认了彼此之间的羁绊以及我们对社区和国家的爱。在那一天，不管我们来自何方、信仰什么宗教、属于什么种族，我们都被紧紧联系在了美国这个大家庭里。
We were also united in our resolve to protect our nation and to bring those who committed this vicious attack to justice.We quickly learned that the 9/11 attacks were carried out by al Qaeda--an organization headed by Osama bin Laden, which had openly declared war on the United States and was committed to killing innocents in our country and around the globe.And so we went to war against al Qaeda to protect our citizens, our friends, and our allies.在保护我们的国家，给那些应该对这起恶性攻击负责的人以正义制裁的决心面前，我们也万众一心。很快我们就意识到911恐怖袭击是由基地组织策划的，这个组织的头目就是奥萨马·本·拉登，他曾经公开对美国宣战，在我们的国家和全世界都犯下了杀害无辜生命的罪行。于是，我们对基地组织开战，以保护我们的人民、我们的朋友和我们的盟友们。
Over the last 10 years, thanks to the tireless and heroic work of our military and our counterterrorism professionals, we’ve made great strides in that effort.We’ve disrupted terrorist attacks and strengthened our homeland defense.In Afghanistan, we removed the Taliban government, which had given bin Laden and al Qaeda safe haven and support.And around the globe, we worked with our friends and allies to capture or kill scores of al Qaeda terrorists, including several who were a part of the 9/11 plot.过去的十年里，在我们的军人和反恐专家们不懈而英勇的努力下，我们取得了巨大的成效。我们粉碎了恐怖袭击、加强了我们的国土安全。在阿富汗，我们击退了为基地组织提供安全避难和支持的塔利班政府。在全球，我们和朋友及盟友一起或抓住或击毙了数十名基地恐怖分子，其中包括一些911事件的始作俑者。
Yet Osama bin Laden avoided capture and escaped across the Afghan border into Pakistan.Meanwhile, al Qaeda continued to operate from along that border and operate through its affiliates across the world.然而奥萨马·本·拉登逃避了抓捕并在阿富汗和巴基斯坦边境逃窜。同时，基地组织也继续通过这条边境线以及世界的分支组织运行着。
And so shortly after taking office, I directed Leon Panetta, the director of the CIA, to make the killing or capture of bin Laden the top priority of our war against al Qaeda, even as we continued our broader efforts to disrupt, dismantle, and defeat his network.所以，在上任之后，我命令中情局局长里昂·帕内塔把击毙或活捉本拉登当作我们和基地作战的头等大事，我们也仍在加强力量来瓦解、拆分和击溃他的联系网。
Then, last August, after years of painstaking work by our intelligence community, I was briefed on a possible lead to bin Laden.It was far from certain, and it took many months to run this thread to ground.I met repeatedly with my national security team as we developed more information about the possibility that we had located bin Laden hiding within a compound deep inside of Pakistan.And finally, last week, I determined that we had enough intelligence to take action, and authorized an operation to get Osama bin Laden and bring him to justice.然后，去年八月，在情报机构数年的辛勤工作之后，我得到本拉登的一份简报。那时还不能确认，我们花费了几个月的时间来确认这条线索，我和咱们国家安全小组的成员们不断的会面，我们得到了更多可能性的信息，把本拉登的藏身地锁定在了巴基斯坦很隐蔽的一个院子里。终于在上周，我决定我们已经有了足够的情报来采取行动，授权打击奥萨马·本·拉登，让他得到正义的制裁。
Today, at my direction, the United States launched a targeted operation against that compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan.A small team of Americans carried out the operation with extraordinary courage and capability.No Americans were harmed.They took care to avoid civilian casualties.After a firefight, they killed Osama bin Laden and took custody of his body.今天，在我的指挥下，美国发动了一项对巴基斯坦阿伯塔巴德的针对性打击。一小队美国人在超凡的勇气和能力下执行了这个任务，没有美国人受伤。他们很小心的避免了平民的伤亡。在一次交火后，他们击毙了奥萨马·本·拉登，将他绳之以法。
For over two decades, bin Laden has been al Qaeda’s leader and symbol, and has continued to plot attacks against our country and our friends and allies.The death of bin Laden marks the most significant achievement to date in our nation’s effort to defeat al Qaeda.在过去的二十年里，本拉登作为基地组织的头目和象征，一直在策划对我们的国家、我们的朋友和盟友们进行袭击。本拉登的死标志着我们国家在和基地组织的战斗中取得了重大的成就。
Yet his death does not mark the end of our effort.There’s no doubt that al Qaeda will continue to pursue attacks against us.We must –-and we will--remain vigilant at home and abroad.然而，他的死并不意味着我们战斗的终止。基地组织无疑会继续寻求对我们的攻击。我们必须——也必将——在国内和国外保持高度警惕。
As we do, we must also reaffirm that the United States is not –-and never will be-– at war with Islam.I’ve made clear, just as President Bush did shortly after 9/11, that our war is not against Islam.Bin Laden was not a Muslim leader;he was a mass murderer of Muslims.Indeed, al Qaeda has slaughtered scores of Muslims in many countries, including our own.So his demise should be welcomed by all who believe in peace and human dignity.同时，我们也必须重申，美国没有也永远不会向伊斯兰世界开展。我要清楚的表明，正如小布什总统在911不久后所说，我们的战争并不针对伊斯兰世界，本拉登也不是一个穆斯林领袖，他是杀害穆斯林教徒的凶手。基地组织在很多国家，包括我们自己的国家内确实屠杀了很多穆斯林教徒。所以，他的死亡应该受到所有相信世界和平维护人的尊严的人们的欢迎。
Over the years, I’ve repeatedly made clear that we would take action within Pakistan if we knew where bin Laden was.That is what we’ve done.But it’s important to note that our counterterrorism cooperation with Pakistan helped lead us to bin Laden and the compound where he was hiding.Indeed, bin Laden had declared war against Pakistan as well, and ordered attacks against the Pakistani people.在过去数年，我也一直重申一旦我们确认拉登所在，我们可能在巴基斯坦境内采取行动，我们也是这么做的。但要特别拿出来说的一点是我们的反恐是在巴基斯坦的协作下找到本拉登和他的藏身之所的。本拉登也曾经对巴基斯坦宣战，也曾下命令攻击巴基斯坦人民。
Tonight, I called President Zardari, and my team has also spoken with their Pakistani counterparts.They agree that this is a good and historic day for both of our nations.And going forward, it is essential that Pakistan continue to join us in the fight against al Qaeda and its affiliates.今晚，我给巴基斯坦总统扎尔达里打了电话，我的小队也和巴基斯坦相关人士通了话。今天对我们两国来说都是具有历史意义的好日子，在这一点上大家都达成了共识。
The American people did not choose this fight.It came to our shores, and started with the senseless slaughter of our citizens.After nearly 10 years of service, struggle, and sacrifice, we know well the costs of war.These efforts weigh on me every time I, as Commander-in-Chief, have to sign a letter to a family that has lost a loved one, or look into the eyes of a service member who’s been gravely wounded.美国人民没有选择战争，战争来到了我们的海岸，对我们的人民进行无意义的屠杀。经过近十年的服役、战争和牺牲，我们太知道战争的代价了。每当我作为三军统帅，必须要给那些失去了心爱之人以及那些遭受重大创伤的服役人员的家人写信的时候，种种艰难时时刻刻都压在我的心头。
So Americans understand the costs of war.Yet as a country, we will never tolerate our security being threatened, nor stand idly by when our people have been killed.We will be relentless in defense of our citizens and our friends and allies.We will be true to the values that make us who we are.And on nights like this one, we can say to those families who have lost loved ones to al Qaeda’s terror: Justice has been done.美国人民知道战争的代价。然而作为一个国家，我们永远都不能忍受国家安全受到威胁，或者在人民被杀的时候袖手旁观。我们会一直保护我们的居民、我们的朋友和盟友。我们会真实的面对这些代价。然后像今天这个夜晚，我们终于能对那些被基地组织夺去家人生命的家庭说：正义得到了伸张。
Tonight, we give thanks to the countless intelligence and counterterrorism professionals who’ve worked tirelessly to achieve this outcome.The American people do not see their work, nor know their names.But tonight, they feel the satisfaction of their work and the result of their pursuit of justice.今晚，我要感谢数不清的情报人员和反恐专家们，正是你们不知疲倦的努力才有了这项成就。美国人民看不到他们的工作，也不知道他们的名字，但是今晚，他们会对自己的工作感到满足，他们对正义的追求得到了收获。
We give thanks for the men who carried out this operation, for they exemplify the professionalism, patriotism, and unparalleled courage of those who serve our country.And they are part of a generation that has borne the heaviest share of the burden since that September day.我们感谢那些执行这项行动的人，这是他们服务国家的职业化、爱国主义和无可匹敌的勇气的明证。自从九月那天起，他们就成了背负最沉重负担的一代人。
Finally, let me say to the families who lost loved ones on 9/11 that we have never forgotten your loss, nor wavered in our commitment to see that we do whatever it takes to prevent another attack on our shores.最后，让我对那些在911事件中失去家人的家庭们说，我们永远不会忘记你们的损失，我们会采取任何措施来防止对我们国土的另一次袭击，这个承诺我们也永远不会动摇。
And tonight, let us think back to the sense of unity that prevailed on 9/11.I know that it has, at times, frayed.Yet today’s achievement is a testament to the greatness of our country and the determination of the American people.今晚，让我们回顾一下911那天我们的团结一心，我知道随着时间的流逝这种感觉已经渐渐淡去，但是今天的成就见证了我们国家的伟大和人民的坚不可摧。
The cause of securing our country is not complete.But tonight, we are once again reminded that America can do whatever we set our mind to.That is the story of our history, whether it’s the pursuit of prosperity for our people, or the struggle for equality for all our citizens;our commitment to stand up for our values abroad, and our sacrifices to make the world a safer place.我们保护国家的任务还没有完成，但是今晚，我们再次相信，美国人民可以完成任何我们下定决心完成的事情。这就是我们的历史：不管是对人民繁荣的追求、或是对人人平等的奋斗，我们传播我们的价值观的承诺以及我们为维护世界和平所作出的牺牲。
Let us remember that we can do these things not just because of wealth or power, but because of who we are: one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.让我们铭记，我们做这件事并不因为我们的财富或力量，而是因为我们自身：我们是在上帝之下，所有人都拥有自由和正义的不可分割的一个国家。
Thank you.May God bless you.And may God bless the United States of America.谢谢大家，愿上帝保佑你们，上帝保佑美国。
第五篇：奥巴马宣布本拉登死亡演讲 中英文
奥巴马历来以卓越的演讲能力著称，自己整合了篇这次他宣布拉登之死的中英对照演讲稿，来学习下吧。
愿9-11袭击中的死难者们安息。
Tonight, I can report to the American people and to the world that the United States has conducted an operation that killed Osama bin Laden, the leader of al Qaeda, and a terrorist who’s responsible for the murder of thousands of innocent men, women and children.今晚，我可以向美国民众和全世界宣布，美国已经完成了消灭基地组织头目本-拉登的行动，此人是屠杀数以千计无辜男女老少的恐怖分子。
It was nearly 10 years ago that a bright September day was darkened by the worst attack on the American people in our history.The images of 9/11 are seared into our national memory.Hijacked planes cutting through a cloudless September sky.The Twin Towers collapsing to the ground.Black smoke billowing up from the Pentagon.The wreckage of Flight 93 in Shanksville, Pennsylvania where the actions of heroic citizens saved even more heartbreak and destruction.将近十年前，9月一个阳光明媚的早晨，美国民众遭受了历史上最严重的袭击。9-11袭击的一幕幕在我国民众记忆中挥之不去。遭劫持的飞机划破了9月云淡风轻的天空；世贸中心双子塔瞬间倒塌；黑烟从五角大楼滚滚上升；坠毁在宾夕法尼亚州尚克斯维尔的93号航班残骸，乘客们的英勇行为避免了更多惨剧和摧毁的发生。
And yet we know that the worst images are those that were unseen to the world.The empty seat at the dinner table.Children who were forced to grow up without their mother or their father.Parents who would never know the feeling of their child’s embrace.Nearly 3,000 citizens taken from us, leaving a gaping hole in our hearts.然而我们知道，最惨痛的是那些未向全世界播出的画面：餐桌旁空空如也的椅子；失去父母的儿童们；再也无法体会孩子拥抱的父母们。将近3000名市民离开了我们，同时在我们心中留下巨大空洞。
On September 11th, 2001, in our time of grief, the American people came together.We offered our neighbors a hand, and we offered the wounded our blood.We reaffirmed our ties to each other and our love of community and country.2001年9月11日，在我们这个悲痛的时刻，全体美国人走到了一起。我们向邻居们伸出援手，为受伤者献血。我们相互之间的关系更加牢固，我们对社区和国家的爱更加浓烈。
On that day, no matter where we came from, what god we prayed to or what race or ethnicity we were, we were united as one American family.We were also united in our resolve, to protect our nation and to — to bring those who committed this vicious attack to justice.在那一天，不管我们来自何处、不管我们向哪一位神灵祈祷，也无论我们的种族如何，我们都团结在一起，整个美国就像一个大家庭。我们有着共同的决心，即矢志保卫我们的国家，并把那些发动了这场邪恶袭击的人绳之以法。
We quickly learned that the 9/11 attacks were carried out by al Qaeda, an organization headed by Osama bin Laden, which had openly declared war on the United States and was committed to killing innocents in our country and around the globe.And so we went to war against al Qaeda, to protect our citizens, our friends, and our allies.我们很快查明，发动9-11袭击的是基地组织，该组织以奥萨马-本-拉登为首，他们早已公开对美国宣战，并在我们国家和全球其他地方杀害无辜人民。为了保护我们的公民、我们的朋友以及我们的盟友，我们展开了针对基地组织的战争。
Over the last 10 years, thanks to the tireless and heroic work of our military and our counterterrorism professionals, we’ve made great strides in that effort.We’ve disrupted terrorist attacks and strengthened our homeland defense.过去十年以来，得益于我们军队和专业反恐人员不知疲倦的英勇工作，我们在打击基地组织方面取得了巨大进展。我们挫败了多起恐怖袭击，强化了本土安全。
In Afghanistan, we removed the Taliban government which had given bin Laden and al Qaeda safe haven and support.And around the globe, we worked with our friends and allies to capture or kill scores of al Qaeda terrorists including several who were a part of the 9/11 plot.在阿富汗，我们推翻了向本-拉登和基地组织提供庇护伞和支持的塔利班政府。在世界范围内，我们与友邦盟国共同合作逮捕或者击毙大量的基地组织恐怖分子，包括那些参与9-11袭击的。
Yet, Osama bin Laden avoided capture and escaped across the Afghan border into Pakistan.Meanwhile, al Qaeda continued to operate from along that border and operate through its affiliates across the world.但是奥萨马-本-拉登逃脱了追捕，从阿富汗边境潜逃进入巴基斯坦。与此同时，基地组织继续在阿巴边境地区以及通过其分支机构在全球地区活动。
And so shortly after taking office, I directed Leon Panetta, the director of the CIA, to make the killing or capture of bin Laden the top priority of our war against al Qaeda.Even as we continued our broader efforts to disrupt, dismantle and defeat his network.我就任美国总统后不久，就曾命令中央情报局局长莱昂-帕内塔把击毙或者抓捕本-拉丹作为打击基地组织战争的首要任务。我们也加强努力破坏、分解和打击拉丹的恐怖网络。
Then last August, after years of painstaking work by our intelligence community, I was briefed on a possible lead to bin Laden.It was far from certain.And it took many months to run this thread to ground.去年八月，在我们的情报部门历经数年的艰苦工作之后，我获悉已经有了本-拉丹的线索，尽管那时还远远无法确定。我们花费了数月才得以顺藤摸瓜。
I met repeatedly with my national security team as we developed more information about the possibility that we had located bin Laden hiding within a compound deep inside Pakistan.And finally, last week, I determined that we had enough intelligence to take action and authorized an operation to get Osama bin Laden and bring him to justice.我多次同国家安全人员会谈，也有更多信息锁定本-拉登就藏在巴基斯坦的一座建筑内。终于在上周，在我们有了充分的情报之后，我下令对奥萨马-本-拉登采取行动，将他绳之以法。
Today, at my direction, the United States launched a targeted operation against that compound in Abad Abad, Pakistan.A small team of Americans carried out the operation with extraordinary courage and capability.No Americans were harmed.They took care to avoid civilian casualties.After a firefight, they killed Osama bin Laden and took custody of his body.今天，在我的指示下，美军对巴基斯坦阿巴德的一处目标实施了有针对性的行动。本次行动的执行者是一小队有着非凡勇气和能力的美国士兵，并没有造成任何美国人伤亡。双方交火后，美国士兵打死了奥萨马-本-拉登，并且掌握了本-拉登的尸体。
For over two decades, bin Laden has been al Qaeda’s leader and symbol and has continued to plot attacks against our country and our friends and allies.The death of bin Laden marks the most significant achievement to date in our nation’s effort to defeat al Qaeda.在过去的二十年里，本-拉登一直是基地组织的头目和象征，并且不断地策划针对我们国家、朋友和盟友的袭击。本-拉登之死是我们在打击基地组织的努力中，迄今为止取得的最为重要的成就。
And his death does not mark the end of our effort.There’s no doubt that al Qaeda will continue to pursue attacks against us.We must and we will remain vigilant at home and abroad.As we do, we must also reaffirm that the United States is not and never will be at war with Islam.I’ve made clear just as President Bush did shortly after 9/11 that our war is not against Islam.Bin laden was not a Muslim leader.He was a mass murderer of Muslims.Indeed, al Qaeda slaughtered scores of Muslims in many countries including our own.本-拉登的死并不意味着我们工作的结束。毫无疑问，基地组织将会继续对我们实施攻击。因此，我们必须并且继续对国内外的情况保持警惕。
如我们做的那样，我们还必须重申美国没有也绝对不会对伊斯兰发动战争。正如小布什总统在9-11事件之后所明确表示的，我们的战争并非针对伊斯兰。本-拉登并非一个穆斯林领袖，相反，他屠杀了大量的穆斯林人民。事实上，基地组织在包括美国在内的很多国家都屠杀了许多穆斯林。
So his demise should be welcomed by all who believe in peace and human dignity.Over the years, I’ve repeatedly made clear that we would take action within Pakistan if we knew where bin Laden was.That is what we’ve done.所有爱好和平并相信人之尊严者都会为他的死而欢欣鼓舞。在过去的数年里，我一再重申，如果我们确认本拉丹在巴基斯坦境内栖身，我们将采取行动。我们这次就是这么做的。
But it’s important to note that our counterterrorism cooperation with Pakistan helped lead us to bin Laden and the compound where he was hiding.Indeed, bin Laden had declared war against Pakistan as well and ordered attacks against the Pakistani people.这里我们必须指出同巴基斯坦在反恐上的合作在这次行动中帮助我们找到并确认了本-拉登的藏身之所。事实上，本-拉登早已对巴基斯坦宣战并且命令采取行动袭击巴基斯坦人民。
Tonight I called President Zardari, and my team has also spoken with their Pakistani counterparts.They agree that this is a good and historic day for both of our nations.And going forward, it is essential that Pakistan continue to join us in the fight against al Qaeda and its affiliates.The American people did not choose this fight.It came to our shores and started with the senseless slaughter of our citizens.After nearly 10 years of service, struggle and sacrifice, we know well the costs of war.These efforts weigh on me every time I, as commander in chief, have to sign a letter to a family that has lost a loved one or look into the eyes of a service member who’s been gravely wounded.今晚我已经同扎尔达里总统通了电话，同时我的同事也与巴基斯坦方面的相应官员进行了交流。我们一致认为今天对美巴两国人民来说都是一个值得纪念的日子。双方都同意未来巴基斯坦还将同美国一起展开针对基地组织及其分支机构的行动。美国人民并不想要这场战争，这一切都源于一场对美国本土无辜平民的无端残杀。10年的斗争和牺牲，使我们深切体会到这场战争的代价。作为美国三军统帅，每次在给阵亡士兵家人的信上签名，每次看到被重伤军人的眼睛，我都感到沉重的压力。
So Americans understand the costs of war.Yet as a country, we will never tolerate our security being threatened, nor stand idly by when our people have been killed.We will be relentless in defense of our citizens and our friends and allies.We will be true to the values that make us who we are.And on nights like this one, we can say to those families who have lost loved ones to al Qaeda’s terror, justice has been done.美国人民清楚战争必然会有伤亡，知道战争必然要我们付出代价。但是作为一个国家，我们更是绝对不能容忍有人威胁我们的安全，也不能看着我们的人民被杀害还坐视不管。我们将坚持不懈地保护美国公民、朋友和盟友。我们将永远坚持那些我们所认可的价值。这个晚上，让我们对那些因基地恐怖分子而失去亲人至爱的家庭说，正义终于得到了伸张。
Tonight we give thanks to the countless intelligence and counterterrorism professionals who’ve worked tirelessly to achieve this outcome.The American people do not see their work nor know their names, but tonight they feel the satisfaction of their work and the result of their pursuit of justice.We give thanks for the men who carried out this operation, for they exemplify the professionalism, patriotism and unparalleled courage of those who serve our country.And they are part of a generation that has borne the heaviest share of the burden since that September day.我们要感谢那些情报和反恐界的专业人士，正是他们孜孜不倦的工作才促成了今天的胜利。美国人民看不到他们的工作，也不知道他们的名字。但是在这个晚上，这些人能够真切地感受到付出得到回报、正义得以伸张的满足。.我们还要感谢那些参与了这次行动的军人，他们是所有为国尽忠的士兵们的代表，展现出了专业、爱国和无可比拟的勇气。他们在9-11之后承担了最重的责任。
Finally, let me say to the families who lost loved ones on 9/11, that we have never forgotten your loss, nor wavered in our commitment to see that we do whatever it takes to prevent another attack on our shores.And tonight, let us think back to the sense of unity that prevailed on 9/11.I know that it has, at times, frayed.Yet today’s achievement is a testament to the greatness of our country and the determination of the American people.最后，我还要对那些在9-11恐怖袭击中失去至亲至爱的家庭说，我们从来没有忘记过你们的损失，我们也从来没有动摇所做出的承诺，那就是竭尽全力让国家免遭新的袭击。这个夜晚，让我们重新回顾在9-11袭击发生后美国上下紧密团结的情景，我知道那种团结在有些时候已经淡化。但是今天的成就证明了美国的伟大和美国人的决心。
The cause of securing our country is not complete, but tonight we are once again reminded that America can do whatever we set our mind to.That is the story of our history.Whether it’s the pursuit of prosperity for our people or the struggle for equality for all our citizens, our commitment to stand up for our values abroad, and our sacrifices to make the world a safer place.请记住，保卫我们国家的事业并没有终结。但是今天我们再次印证只要美国下定决心，这个国家想做的事情就一定能够实现。这是我们国家的历史：不管是为了人民的繁荣还是国民的平等，我们对全球传递美国价值观的承诺不变，我们为世界安全宁愿自我牺牲的承诺不变。
Let us remember that we can do these things not just because of wealth or power, but because of who we are, one nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all.我们要牢记，做这些并仅是为了财富或者权势，而是因为我们生来如此，我们生来要为所有人争取自由和公正。
Thank you.May God bless you.And may God bless the United States of America.感谢你们，上帝保佑大家，上帝保佑美利坚合众国。
