习近平在晚宴上开茅台向奥巴马祝酒

习近平和奥巴马在庄园散步，奥巴马赠送木椅

原标题：庄园峰会长谈八小时落幕习近平开茅台祝酒奥巴马

晚宴吃龙虾、牛排和樱桃派持续到11点 早上一起散步未打高尔夫 峰会很成功 晚报记者 王兴栋 综合报道

据美国媒体报道，为期两天的习奥会当地时间8日中午在加州安纳伯格庄园落幕，习近平已经离开庄园回国。正如媒体所预计的那样，中美元首在会谈中谈及朝鲜半岛局势、网络安全以及经济合作等广泛议题，据中方官员介绍，习近平还阐述了中国在南海和钓鱼岛问题上的立场。外界普遍认为，此次峰会对于中美元首交流感情、交换意见起到了很好的作用。

习近平每天游泳 奥巴马直言很棒

中美元首的庄园峰会一共有两天，两人一起见面会谈的时间长达8个小时。第一天会谈结束之后，奥巴马设宴招待习近平。据美国媒体曝光的消息，晚宴的主厨是美国著名厨师巴比·福雷，此人在美国开有多家餐厅，还在电视上开有美食节目，菜肴的风味是美国西南口味。晚宴的主餐有龙虾、牛排以及餐后甜点樱桃派。据说晚宴持续的时间比较长，一直到晚上十一点左右，相谈甚欢。据一位参加宴会的美国官员讲，习近平主席的兴致很高，还开了一瓶茅台酒，向奥巴马祝酒。不过，不清楚奥巴马是不是也喝了茅台酒。习近平还邀请奥巴马尽快访华，也进行这种非正式的会谈。

第二天早上，两人继续会谈。两人还一起在美丽的庄园内散步，只有翻译跟在身后。也许是为了突出峰会的非正式性，散步时两人的穿着更为随意，只是穿衬衫而已，奥巴马还卷起袖子。散步的时候，两人还曾一起坐在庄园内的一个木椅上，这也就是奥巴马赠送给习近平的礼物，它是由加州红杉木制作而成的。与一般的木椅不同的是，这个作为礼物的木椅上用中英文刻有两人会晤的时间和地点。据新华社报道，红杉树是加州名贵树种。1972年美国前总统尼克松访华时，将几株加州红杉树苗，作为礼物赠送给中方。此后，加州红杉树已在中国一些省市成功引种，成为中美友谊的象征。

美国媒体称，中美元首还有一个共同点就是都喜欢体育活动，这也是培养个人关系的一个重要因素。习近平喜欢足球和游泳，奥巴马喜欢篮球和高尔夫。两人虽然没有在庄园的高尔夫球场内挥杆，但体育也是双方交流的一个话题。习近平曾对奥巴马表示，自己每天都会游泳散步，游泳会游一千米，对此，奥巴马直言非常棒。而奥巴马则喜欢打篮球。习近平也称奥巴马是篮球高手。

会谈结束之后，奥巴马请习近平和彭丽媛一起喝茶，然后峰会结束。峰会并没有发表共同声明之类的文件。

谈及南海和钓鱼岛 元首会晤非常成功

对于会谈的成果，美国总统国家安全事务助理多尼伦在峰会结束后举行的记者会上表示，双方在一系列问题上达成广泛共识，双方都同意要实现朝鲜半岛的无核化，同时对于此次峰会培育出的中美元首之间的个人关系也感到乐观。对于网络安全问题，多尼伦表示，这一问题的处理关乎两国关系的未来。而中方官员则认为，网络安全问题应该成为两国合作的新亮点。在气候变化问题上，双方达成重要成果，也就是两国首次同意合作减少氢氟碳化合物的排放，这是一种温室气体，广泛应用于冰箱、空调和其它工业领域。至于朝鲜问题，双方进行了长时间的讨论，一致同意不会接受朝鲜拥有核武器。

至于南海的领土争端和钓鱼岛问题，国务委员杨洁篪会后表示，在中美元首的会晤中双方谈到了南海和钓鱼岛问题，中方希望有关方面采取负责任的态度停止挑衅，尽早回到通过对话妥善解决问题的轨道。“习主席向奥巴马总统阐明了中方在钓鱼岛、南海问题上的原则立场，强调中方坚定维护领土主权和国家完整。同时，始终主张通过对话来处理和解决有关问题。希望有关方面采取负责任的态度，停止挑衅滋事，尽早回到通过对话妥善处理和解决问题的轨道上来。”

第二篇：奥巴马在白宫记者协会晚宴上的讲话

THE PRESIDENT: Thank you.Thank you, everybody.Good evening.You know, I had an entire speech prepared for this wonderful occasion, but now that I'm here I think I'm going to try something a little different.Tonight I want to speak from the heart.I'm going to speak off the cuff.(Teleprompters rise.)(Laughter and applause.)

Good evening.(Laughter.)Pause for laughter.(Laughter.)Wait a minute, this may not be working as well as I--(laughter.)Let me try that again.Good evening, everybody.(Applause.)I would like to welcome you all to the 10-day anniversary of my first 100 days.(Laughter.)I am Barack Obama.Most of you covered me.All of you voted for me.(Laughter and applause.)Apologies to the Fox table.(Laughter.)They're--where are they? I have to confess I really did not want to be here tonight, but I knew I had to come--just one more problem that I've inherited from George W.Bush.(Laughter.)

But now that I'm here, it's great to be here.It's great to see all of you.Michelle Obama is here, the First Lady of the United States.(Applause.)Hasn't she been an outstanding First Lady?(Applause.)She's even begun to bridge the differences that have divided us for so long, because no matter which party you belong to we can all agree that Michelle has the right to bare arms.(Laughter and applause.)

Now Sasha and Malia aren't here tonight because they're grounded.You can't just take Air Force One on a joy ride to Manhattan.(Laughter.)I don't care whose kids you are.(Laughter.)We've been setting some ground rules here.They're starting to get a little carried away.Now, speaking--when I think about children obviously I think about Michelle and it reminds me that tomorrow is Mother's Day.Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers in the audience.(Applause.)I do have to say, though, that this is a tough holiday for Rahm Emanuel because he's not used to saying the word “day” after “mother.”(Laughter.)That's true.(Laughter.)

David Axelrod is here.You know, David and I have been together for a long time.I can still remember--I got to sort of--I tear up a little bit when I think back to that day that I called Ax so many years ago and said, you and I can do wonderful things together.And he said to me the same thing that partners all across America are saying to one another right now: Let's go to Iowa and make it official.(Laughter and applause.)

Michael Steele is in the house tonight.(Applause.)Or as he would say, “in the heezy.”(Laughter.)What's up?(Laughter.)Where is Michael? Michael, for the last time, the Republican Party does not qualify for a bailout.(Laughter.)Rush Limbaugh does not count as a troubled asset, I'm sorry.(Laughter.)

Dick Cheney was supposed to be here but he is very busy working on his memoirs, tentatively titled, “How to Shoot Friends and Interrogate People.”(Laughter.)

You know, it's been a whirlwind of activity these first hundred days.We've enacted a major economic recovery package, we passed a budget, we forged a new path in Iraq, and no President in history has ever named three Commerce Secretaries this quickly.(Laughter.)Which reminds me, if Judd Gregg is here, your business cards are ready now.(Laughter.)

On top of that, I've also reversed the ban on stem cell research, signed an expansion--(applause)--signed an expansion of the children's health insurance.Just last week, Car and Driver named me auto executive of the year.(Laughter.)Something I'm very proud of.We've also begun to change the culture in Washington.We've even made the White House a place where people can learn and can grow.Just recently, Larry Summers asked if he could chair the White House Council on Women and Girls.(Laughter.)And I do appreciate that Larry is here tonight because it is seven hours past his bedtime.(Laughter.)Gibbs liked that one.(Laughter.)

In the last hundred days, we've also grown the Democratic Party by infusing it with new energy and bringing in fresh, young faces like Arlen Specter.(Laughter.)Now, Joe Biden rightly deserves a lot of credit for convincing Arlen to make the switch, but Secretary Clinton actually had a lot to do with it too.One day she just pulled him aside and she said, Arlen, you know what I always say--“if you can't beat them, join them.”(Laughter.)

Which brings me to another thing that's changed in this new, warmer, fuzzier White House, and that's my relationship with Hillary.You know, we had been rivals during the campaign, but these days we could not be closer.In fact, the second she got back from Mexico she pulled into a hug and gave me a big kiss.(Laughter.)Told me I'd better get down there myself.(Laughter.)Which I really appreciated.I mean, it was--it was nice.(Laughter.)

And of course we've also begun to change America's image in the world.We talked about this during this campaign and we're starting to execute.We've renewed alliances with important partners and friends.If you look on the screen there, there I am with Japanese Prime Minister Taro Aso.There I am with Gordon Brown.But as I said during the campaign, we can't just talk to our friends.As hard as it is, we also have to talk to our enemies, and I've begun to do exactly that.Take a look at the monitor there.(Laughter.)Now, let me be clear, just because he handed me a copy of Peter Pan does not mean that I'm going to read it--(laughter)--but it's good diplomatic practice to just accept these gifts.All this change hasn't been easy.Change never is.So I've cut the tension by bringing a new friend to the White House.He's warm, he's cuddly, loyal, enthusiastic.You just have to keep him on a tight leash.Every once in a while he goes charging off in the wrong direction and gets himself into trouble.But enough about Joe Biden.(Laughter.)

All in all, we're proud of the change we've brought to Washington in these first hundred days but we've got a lot of work left to do, as all of you know.So I'd like to talk a little bit about what my administration plans to achieve in the next hundred days.During the second hundred days, we will design, build and open a library dedicated to my first hundred days.(Laughter.)It's going to be big, folks.(Laughter.)In the next hundred days, I will learn to go off the prompter and Joe Biden will learn to stay on the prompter.(Laughter.)

In the next hundred days, our bipartisan outreach will be so successful that even John Boehner will consider becoming a Democrat.After all, we have a lot in common.He is a person of color.(Laughter.)Although not a color that appears in the natural world.(Laughter.)What's up, John?(Laughter.)

In the next hundred days, I will meet with a leader who rules over millions with an iron fist, who owns the airwaves and uses his power to crush all who would challenge his authority at the ballot box.It's good to see you, Mayor Bloomberg.(Laughter.)

In the next hundred days, we will housetrain our dog, Bo, because the last thing Tim Geithner needs is someone else treating him like a fire hydrant.(Laughter.)In the next hundred days, I will strongly consider losing my cool.(Laughter.)

Finally, I believe that my next hundred days will be so successful I will be able to complete them in 72 days.(Laughter.)And on the 73rd day, I will rest.(Laughter.)

I just--I want to end by saying a few words about the men and women in this room whose job it is to inform the public and pursue the truth.You know, we meet tonight at a moment of extraordinary challenge for this nation and for the world, but it's also a time of real hardship for the field of journalism.And like so many other businesses in this global age, you've seen sweeping changes and technology and communications that lead to a sense of uncertainty and anxiety about what the future will hold.Across the country, there are extraordinary, hardworking journalists who have lost their jobs in recent days, recent weeks, recent months.And I know that each newspaper and media outlet is wrestling with how to respond to these changes, and some are struggling simply to stay open.And it won't be easy.Not every ending will be a happy one.But it's also true that your ultimate success as an industry is essential to the success of our democracy.It's what makes this thing work.You know, Thomas Jefferson once said that if he had the choice between a government without newspapers, or newspapers without a government, he would not hesitate to choose the latter.Clearly, Thomas Jefferson never had cable news to contend with--(laughter)--but his central point remains: A government without newspapers, a government without a tough and vibrant media of all sorts, is not an option for the United States of America.(Applause.)

So I may not--I may not agree with everything you write or report.I may even complain, or more likely Gibbs will complain, from time to time about how you do your jobs, but I do so with the knowledge that when you are at your best, then you help me be at my best.You help all of us who serve at the pleasure of the American people do our jobs better by holding us accountable, by demanding honesty, by preventing us from taking shortcuts and falling into easy political games that people are so desperately weary of.And that kind of reporting is worth preserving--not just for your sake, but for the public's.We count on you to help us make sense of a complex world and tell the stories of our lives the way they happen, and we look for you for truth, even if it's always an approximation, even if--(laughter.)

This is a season of renewal and reinvention.That is what government must learn to do, that's what businesses must learn to do, and that's what journalism is in the process of doing.And when I look out at this room and think about the dedicated men and women whose questions I've answered over the last few years, I know that for all the challenges this industry faces, it's not short on talent or creativity or passion or commitment.It's not short of young people who are eager to break news or the not-so-young who still manage to ask the tough ones time and time again.These qualities alone will not solve all your problems, but they certainly prove that the problems are worth solving.And that is a good place as any to begin.So I offer you my thanks, I offer you my support, and I look forward to working with you and answering to you and the American people as we seek a more perfect union in the months and years ahead.Thank you very much, everybody.Thank you.(Applause.)

第四篇：奥巴马总统在开斋晚宴上的讲话

奥巴马总统在开斋晚宴上的讲话.txt“恋”是个很强悍的字。它的上半部取自“变态”的“变”，下半部取自“变态”的“态”。奥巴马总统于8月13日在白宫国宴厅（State Dining Room）举行的开斋晚宴（Iftar）上指出，伊斯兰教在美国源远流长，与其他宗教一样受到尊重。以下是总统讲话全文，由美国国务院国际信息局(IIP)翻译。

白宫新闻秘书办公室

2010年8月13日

总统在开斋晚宴上的讲话

白宫国宴厅

东部夏令时晚8:37

总统：大家晚上好。欢迎光临。请就座。欢迎大家来到白宫。在这圣神的斋月里，我向你们，向全国穆斯林同胞，向全世界十亿多穆斯林表示最良好的祝愿。莱麦丹斋月吉祥。

我要欢迎各国外交使团成员、本届政府成员和国会议员，包括拉什?霍尔特(Rush Holt)、约翰?科尼尔斯（John Conyers）和两位美国穆斯林国会议员之一安德烈?卡森（Andre Carson），以及基思?埃利森（Keith Ellison）。欢迎大家。

如同举办圣诞晚会、犹太教逾越节家宴（seders）和印度教排灯节（Diwali）庆祝活动那样，我们有在白宫举办开斋晚宴的传统，这一传统已持续多年。这些活动展示了宗教信仰在美国人民生活中的作用，使我们想到这样一个基本的道理：我们都是主的子民，我们都从各自的信仰中汲取力量和生活目标。

这些活动还突出表明了我们作为美国人的特征。我国的建国先贤们懂得，在我国人民生活中尊重宗教信仰的最好方式是保护他们从事宗教活动的自由。托马斯?杰斐逊（Thomas Jefferson）在《在弗吉尼亚确立宗教自由的法案》（Virginia Act of Establishing Religious Freedom）中写道：“所有人都应能自由地表明并提出理由维护自己在宗教问题上的观点。”我国宪法的第一条修正案将宗教自由确定为国家的法律。自那时以来，我们始终维护这一权利。

在我们的历史进程中，宗教确实在我国蓬勃发展，这正是因为美国人有选择信仰的权利——包括不信教的权利。今天的美国人依然笃信宗教，证明了建国先贤们的智慧——在这个国度中，不同信仰的民族能够和平共处、互相尊重，与世界上一些地方宗教冲突持续不断的状况形成鲜明对比。

但这并不是说宗教上没有争议。最近，人们关注在某些社区建造清真寺的问题——特别是在纽约。目前，我们都必须承认和尊重与曼哈顿下城重建相关的敏感问题。“9.11”袭击对我们国家是一件创巨痛深的事件。那些失去亲人的人所经历的痛苦和磨折是难以想象的。因此，我理解这个问题所引发的情感。世贸大厦爆炸的地点确实是圣土。

但我必须申明：作为一个公民，作为总统，我认为穆斯林和我们国家的每一个其他人一样有信仰自己宗教的权利。（掌声）这包括遵照当地法律和法令，在曼哈顿下城私人土地上建造礼拜场所和社区中心的权利。这里是美国。我们对宗教自由的承诺必须坚定不移。各种信仰的人在这个国度都受欢迎、政府不会把他们区别对待，这个原则是我们的立国之本。建国先贤们的古训必须信守。

我们绝不能忘记那些我们在“9.11”事件中痛失的人们，我们必须永远纪念那些在回应袭击时冲在前面的人——从冲上浓烟滚滚的楼梯的消防队员到今天仍在阿富汗战斗的部队。让我们也不要忘记我们在与谁战斗、为何而战。我们的敌人无视宗教自由。基地组织的事业不是伊斯兰教，而是对伊斯兰教的严重歪曲。这些人不是宗教领袖——他们是残杀男人、妇女和儿童的恐怖分子。事实上，在被基地组织杀害的人口中，穆斯林的人数超过任何其他宗教的信仰者——这个受害者的名单也包括在“9.11”事件中罹难的穆斯林。

这就是我们的对手。我们将赢得这场斗争，我们的力量不仅来自军队，而且来自我们的价值观：我们所坚持的民主、我们所珍视的自由、我们所奉行的法律——不分种族、宗教、财富或社会地位。对和我们不同的人，我们不仅包容，而且尊敬——这种生活方式、这一美国的基本信条，与在9月的那个早晨攻击我们而且今天仍在图谋加害于我们的人所奉行的毁灭主义形成鲜明的对比。

我在就职演说中指出，我们百衲而成的传统是一种优势，而非劣势。我们是一个基督教徒和穆斯林、犹太教徒和印度教徒、以及无宗教信仰者组成的国家。我们受惠于地球上四面八方每一种语言和文化的影响，但这种多元化也会产生困难的辩论。这种情况并不是我们这个时代所独有的，不同的历史时期曾有过关于兴建犹太教堂或天主教堂的争议。但是，美国人民一再表明，我们能够共同解决这些问题，并始终不渝地坚持我们的核心价值观，并因此而更加强大。因此，今天也必须如此——并将必定如此。

今晚令我们想到，莱麦丹弘扬的是一种以巨大的多样性著称的信仰。莱麦丹提醒我们，伊斯兰教始终是美国的一个组成部分。两百多年前，来自突尼斯的第一位驻美国穆斯林大使受到杰斐逊总统的款待——因为是莱麦丹斋月，杰弗逊总统为他的客人安排了日落晚宴，这是有记载的第一个白宫斋月晚宴（掌声）。

像众多其他移民一样，一代代穆斯林到这里来创造他们的未来。他们成为农民和商人，在作坊和工厂里劳作。他们帮助铺设铁路，帮助建设美国。他们于1890年代在纽约市创建了第一个伊斯兰中心，在北达科他州的草原上建造了美国第一座清真寺。坐落在艾奥瓦州柏树瀑布市（Cedar Rapids）的清真寺或许是美国现存的最古老的清真寺，如今仍在使用。

今天，我们的国家因数百万美国穆斯林而更为强大，他们在各行各业都有杰出表现。美国的穆斯林社区——包括所有50个州的清真寺——也为邻里服务；担任警察、消防队员和急救人员的穆斯林保护我们的社区和人民；穆斯林神职人员明确表示反对恐怖主义和极端主义，重申伊斯兰教义教导人民珍惜生命，而非夺取生命；美国穆斯林中也不乏出色的军人。下星期在五角大楼举行的莱麦丹开斋晚宴将悼念并颂扬在伊拉克牺牲的三位战士，他们与其他英雄们一起长眠在阿灵顿国家公墓（Arlington National Cemetery）。

这些美国穆斯林战士为我们赖以生存的安全和我们所珍视的自由献出了生命，他们是美国自建国以来一个前仆后继的群体的一部分。这些具有各种不同信仰的美国人共同奉献和牺牲，使美国的承诺代代相传，并保证美国的特色得到保护——即矢志不渝地坚持我们的核心价值观，一步一个脚印地建设完美的祖国。

因为，归根结底，我们仍然是“一个在主的庇佑下不可分割的国家”，只有信守所有伟大的宗教——包括伊斯兰教——的同一准则，我们才能实现“人人享有自由和公正”的理想。这一准则就是：己所欲方施于人。

谢谢大家光临，祝大家斋月吉祥。现在我们可以开宴了。（掌声）
