美国驻中国大使骆家辉辞职声明(英文版)
Serving as the U.S.Ambassador to China has been the honor of a lifetime.I am profoundly grateful to President Obama for providing me the opportunity to serve as his representative in Beijing these past two and a half years – and to be the first Chinese-American to hold this position.Helping manage one of the most vitally important bilateral relationships for the United States, with so many critical American interests at stake, has been an immense and rewarding challenge.And living in China while representing the United States has truly been an exciting privilege for our entire family.When I met with President Obama earlier this month, I informed him of my decision to step down as Ambassador in early 2014 to rejoin my family in Seattle.I am extremely proud of the work of our staff at the U.S.Embassy and
Consulates in China and what we have been able to accomplish together on behalf of the American people and for U.S.-China relations.Our efforts have focused on job creation in America by increasing exports to China, opening more markets for American companies, and promoting Chinese investment in the U.S.We have significantly increased Chinese business and tourism travel to the U.S.by dramatically reducing wait times for a visa to 3-5 days from historical highs of 70-100 days.Finally, as I reflect on my tenure as Ambassador, I do know that U.S.-China relations continue to grow stronger.While our bilateral relationship is a complex one, I remain confident in the ability of our leaders to manage differences and increase cooperation in areas of mutual concern to the benefit of not just our two great peoples, but the entire world.

Serving as the U.S.Ambassador to China has been the honor of a lifetime.I am profoundly grateful to President Obama for providing me the opportunity to serve as his representative in Beijing these past two and a half years – and to be the first Chinese-American to hold this position.Helping manage one of the most vitally important bilateral relationships for the United States, with so many critical American interests at stake, has been an immense and rewarding challenge.And living in China while representing the United States has truly been an exciting privilege for our entire family.担任驻华大使是我一生的荣耀,我非常感谢总统奥巴马给予我到北京履职的机会。在过去的两年半时间里,我是第一个担任此职位的华裔。为美国帮助管理世界上最重要的双边关系之一是一个巨大的、有回报的挑战。代表美国在中国居住对我的家庭也是令人激动的特权。
When I met with President Obama earlier this month, I informed him of my decision to step down as Ambassador in early 2014 to rejoin my family in Seattle.当我在本月初见到奥巴马时,我告知他决定2014年年初卸任,回到西雅图与家人团聚。
I am extremely proud of the work of our staff at the U.S.Embassy and Consulates in China and what we have been able to accomplish together on behalf of the American people and for U.S.-China relations.我对美国大使馆和领事馆的人员在中国的工作感到非常骄傲。我们在一起代表美国人民共事,为中美关系作出贡献。
Our efforts have focused on job creation in America by increasing exports to China, opening more markets for American companies, and promoting Chinese investment in the U.S.We have significantly increased Chinese business and tourism travel to the U.S.by dramatically reducing wait times for a visa to 3-5 days from historical highs of 70-100 days.And we have advanced American values by meeting with religious leaders and human rights lawyers, and visiting Tibetan and Uighur ethnic minorities in Tibet and Xinjiang.我们致力于通过提高美国对华出口来增加美国国内的就业机会,为美国企业打开更多的市场,增加中国在美投资。通过将签证获取的等待时间从历史最高的70至100天降至3到5天,我们得以大幅度提高了中国到美国的商务和观光旅行的数量。[略]
Finally, as I reflect on my tenure as Ambassador, I do so knowing that U.S.-China relations continue to grow stronger.While our bilateral relationship is a complex one, I remain confident in the ability of our leaders to manage differences and increase cooperation in areas of mutual concern to the benefit of not just our two great peoples, but the entire world.最后,当我回顾我作为驻华大使的任期时,我知道中美之间的关系会进一步增强。尽管我们的双边关系相当复杂,我相信两方的领导能够处理好我们的分歧,在共同关心的领域加强合作,为不仅仅是中美两方,而是整个世界带来益处。

第四篇:骆家辉离职
11月20日,美国驻华大使骆家辉20日突然宣布将于明年初卸任引起舆论关注。这位63岁的华裔“明星大使”称,本月初他已向美国总统奥巴马表明去意,希望在2014年初卸任,回到西雅图与家人团聚。
中国外交部发言人洪磊在20日的例行记者会上称,对骆家辉在担任美国驻华大使以来,为促进中美交流与合作作出的积极努力,表示赞赏。
“在本月初的时候我告知奥巴马总统我的决定,打算在2014年初卸下驻华大使之职,与在西雅图的家人团聚。”骆家辉称,作为第一个就任此职位的华裔美国人,他感到无比荣耀。“协助管理美国最为关键的双边关系之一,其中包含众多对美国重大利益攸关的内容,这是巨大的挑战,但也收获丰富。作为美国的代表在中国居住,我们全家都无比激动,荣幸之至。”
“但是,我的孩子正在西雅图上高中,我想这个阶段对于任何家庭来说都很重要。我希望回到美国,和我的孩子一起去参观大学,选择大学,帮助孩子成长。”骆家辉说起家人的时候不由得扬起嘴角,“我时常想念家人,他们下周也会再来中国,探访朋友,感受中国。”

Remarks by Ambassador Locke at Residence Press Gathering
Beijing, China
August 14, 2011
美国驻中华人民共和国大使
骆家辉在大使官邸媒体见面会的讲话
2011年8月14日中国,北京
Welcome to the U.S.Ambassador’s residence.Thank you all very much for coming here on a hot Sunday afternoon in Beijing – don’t worry, we have some refreshments waiting for you.欢迎来到美国大使官邸。非常谢谢你们大家,在北京一个炎热的周日下午来到这里——不用担心,我们已经为你们准备了一些茶点。
Let me begin by saying how deeply honored I am to have this opportunity to serve the President and the people of the United States of America.My wife Mona and our children Emily, Dylan, and Madeline are all very excited to move here to Beijing to build new friendships between the people of the United States and China and to continue to expand our two countries’ growing cooperation on key bilateral and international issues.首先,我深感荣幸能有这个机会为美利坚合众国的总统和人民服务。我的妻子莫纳和我们的孩子埃米利、迪伦和马迪林都很兴奋搬到北京,在美国和中国人们之间建立新的友谊,继续扩展我们两国在关键双边和国际事务上正在增长的合作。
The United States and China have a profoundly important and complex diplomatic and economic bilateral relationship – one with challenges, no question, but one which also holds great promise for expanded
cooperation and collaboration.I look forward to working with the Chinese Government to fulfill that promise, but more importantly, to build the positive, cooperative, and comprehensive relationship to which President Obama and President Hu aspire.美国和中国有着极其重要和复杂的外交和经济双边关系——这一关系有挑战,这是毫无疑问的,但也有扩展合作和协作的极大希望。我期盼与中国政府共同努力实现这种希望,但更重要的,创建欧巴马总统与胡主席均追求的积极、合作和全面的关系。
Our two countries have already had a busy year.President Hu had a successful state visit to the United States in January.That was followed by the third round of the U.S.-China Strategic and Economic Dialogue in May.Secretary Gates also made an important visit to China in January, and Secretary Clinton met with State Councilor Dai in Shenzhen just a few weeks ago.And as you all know, next week, we will be welcoming Vice President Joe Biden, who will visit Beijing and Chengdu.The Vice
President was one of the first U.S.senators to visit China back in 1979, and we look forward to welcoming him back.我们两国已经度过了忙碌的一年。胡主席在一月份对美国进行了一次成功的国事访问。随后在五月,举行了第三轮美中战略和经济对话。一月份盖茨部长也对中国进行了一次重要访问,而且仅几星期前克林顿部长在深圳会晤了戴国务委员。正如你们大家所知,下周我们将欢迎乔•拜敦副总统,他将访问北京和成都。副总统是1979年访问中国的首批美国参议员之一,我们期待着欢迎他回来。
On a personal level, I am both humbled and honored to stand here before you as a child of Chinese immigrants representing America, the land of my birth, and the American values my family holds dear.I can only imagine just how proud my dad, Jimmy, who passed away in January, would be for his son to be the first Chinese-American to represent the United States in the land of his and my mother’s birth.My parents, my wife, our children – we all personally represent America and America’s promise as a land of freedom, equality, and opportunity.And it is that enduring promise and those values that I will represent in my official capacity serving the President and the American people as the United States ambassador to China.在个人层面上,能作为中国移民的孩子代表美国——我出生的土地,以及我的家庭珍视的美国价值观,站在你们面前,我感到既谦卑又荣幸。我只能想象我在一月份过世的父亲,吉米,看到他的儿子成为在他和我母亲出生的土地上代表美国的第一位华裔美国人,会是多么骄傲。我的父母,我的妻子,我们的孩子——我们本人都直接代表美国以及美国作为自由、平等和机会之土地的希望。我,以官方身份,作为服务于总统和美国人民的美国驻华大使,将代表的正是这永久希望和这些价值观。
Our family is embarking on an adventure and a challenge, and we are eager to re-connect with our old Chinese friends and make many more new ones.Thank you very much for joining us today.我们的家庭正在开始一次冒险和挑战,我们渴望能重新联系我们的中国老朋友以及结识更多新朋友。非常感谢你们今天能来。
