第一篇：奥巴马欢迎胡锦涛讲话(英文)大全

PRESIDENT OBAMA: Good morning, everyone.President Hu, members of the Chinese delegation, on behalf of Michelle and myself, welcome to the White House.And on behalf of the American people, welcome to the United States.Three decades ago, on a January day like this, another American President stood here and welcomed another Chinese leader for the historic normalization of relations between the United States and the People’s Republic of China.On that day, Deng Xiaoping spoke of the great possibilities of cooperation between our two nations.Looking back on that winter day in 1979, it is now clear.The previous 30 years had been a time of estrangement for our two countries.The 30 years since have been a time of growing exchanges and understanding.And with this visit we can lay the foundation for the next 30 years.At a time when some doubt the benefits of cooperation between the United States and China, this visit is also a chance to demonstrate a simple truth.We have an enormous stake in each other’s success.In an interconnected world, in a global economy, nations--including our own--will be more prosperous and more secure when we work together.The United States welcomes China’s rise as a strong, prosperous and successful member of the community of nations.Indeed, China’s success has brought with it economic benefits for our people as well as yours, and our cooperation on a range of issues has helped advance stability in the Asia Pacific and in the world.We also know this: History shows that societies are more harmonious, nations are more successful, and the world is more just, when the rights and responsibilities of all nations and all people are upheld, including the universal rights of every human being.Mr.President, we can learn from our people.Chinese and American students and educators, business people, tourists, researchers and scientists, including Chinese Americans who are here today —-they work together and make progress together every single day.They know that even as our nations compete in some areas, we can cooperate in so many others, in a spirit of mutual respect, for our mutual benefit.What Deng Xiaoping said long ago remains true today.There are still great possibilities for cooperation between our countries.President Hu, members of the Chinese delegation, let us seize these possibilities together.Welcome to the United States of America.Hwan-ying.(Applause.)

PRESIDENT HU:(As translated.)Mr.President, Mrs.Obama, ladies and gentlemen, dear friends, it gives me great pleasure to come to Washington and pay a state visit to the United States at the beginning of the new year, at the invitation of President Obama.At this point in time, let me extend, on behalf of the 1.3 billion Chinese people, sincere greetings and best wishes to the people of the United States.I have come to the United States to increase mutual trust, enhance friendship, deepen cooperation, and push forward the positive, cooperative, and comprehensive China-U.S.relationship for the 21st century.Over the past 32 years, since the establishment of diplomatic ties, the China-U.S.relationship has grown into one with strategic significance and global influence.Since President Obama took office, with concerted efforts of the two sides, our cooperation in various fields has produced fruitful results and our relations have achieved new progress.This has brought real benefits to our two peoples, and contributed greatly to world peace and development.As we enter the second decade of the 21st century, the people of both China and the United States want to see further progress in our relations and people around the globe want to see greater prosperity in the world.Under the new circumstances, and in the face of new challenges, China and the United States share broad common interests and important common responsibilities.We should adopt a long-term perspective, seek common ground while resolving differences, and work together to achieve sustained, sound, and steady development of our relations.I hope that through this visit, our two countries will advance the positive, cooperative, and comprehensive relationship, and open a new chapter in our cooperation as partners.Our cooperation as partners should be based on mutual respect.We live in an increasingly diverse and colorful world.China and the United States should respect each other’s choice of development path and each other’s core interests.We should deepen mutual understanding through communication, increase mutual trust through dialogue, and expand common ground through exchanges.Our cooperation as partners should be based on mutual benefit.China’s future and destiny are increasingly tied to those of the world and China-U.S.relations have become closer.Our two countries should seek to learn from each other through exchanges and achieve win-win progress through cooperation.This is the right approach for us to develop our relations.Our cooperation as partners should be based on joint efforts to meet challenges.China and the United States should step up communication and coordination in international affairs, work together to counter the global challenges, and make a greater contribution to world peace and development.Our cooperation as partners should be based on the extensive involvement of the people.The Chinese and American people cherish deep friendship towards each other, and they fought side by side at defining moments in history when the future and the destiny of mankind were at stake.The two peoples should extend exchanges and enhance friendship.This will offer a inexhaustible driving force for the growth of our relations.Ladies and gentlemen, our world today is undergoing major development, major changes and major adjustments.To pursue peace, development and cooperation is the irresistible trend of our time.Let us seize the opportunity to forge ahead, hand in hand, and work together to enhance cooperation as partners, and let us work with all other countries to build a harmonious world of lasting peace and common prosperity.Thank you once again, Mr.President, for your warm welcome.(Applause.)

PRESIDENT OBAMA: Thank you very much.Thank you.?: http://

总统先生，奥巴马夫人，女士们，先生们，朋友们：

很高兴应奥巴马总统邀请，在一元复始的时节来到华盛顿，对美国进行国事访问。此时此刻，我谨代表１３亿中国人民，向美国人民致以诚挚的问候和良好的祝愿！

我这次访问美国，是为增进互信、加强友谊、深化合作、推动２１世纪积极合作全面的中美关系继续向前发展而来。

中美建交３２年来，两国关系已经成长为具有战略意义和全球影响的双边关系。奥巴马总统就职以来，在双方共同努力下，两国各领域合作成果丰硕，中美关系得到新的发展，为两国人民带来了实实在在的利益，为世界和平与发展作出了重要贡献。

在２１世纪第二个十年开始之际，中美两国人民都期待中美关系发展得更好，各国人民都期待世界发展得更好。面对新形势新挑战，中美两国拥有广泛的共同利益，肩负着重要的共同责任。我们应该登高望远、求同存异，共同推动中美关系长期健康稳定发展。我希望通过这次访问，推进积极合作全面的中美关系，开启两国伙伴合作新篇章。

——中美伙伴合作应该基于相互尊重。我们生活在一个越来越丰富多彩的世界之中。中美两国要尊重彼此对发展道路的选择，尊重对方核心利益，通过沟通加深了解，通过对话增进互信，通过交流扩大共识。

——中美伙伴合作应该基于互利共赢。中国的前途命运日益紧密地同世界的前途命运联系在一起，中美交往更加紧密，交流互鉴应该成为我们的共同选择，合作共赢应该成为我们的相处之道。

——中美伙伴合作应该基于共迎挑战。中美两国应该就国际事务加强沟通和协调，合作应对各种全球性挑战，为世界和平与发展作出更大贡献。

——中美伙伴合作应该基于人民广泛参与。中美两国人民相互怀有深厚的友好感情，曾经在决定人类前途命运的重大历史关头并肩战斗。两国人民应该扩大交往、加强友谊，为中美关系发展提供不竭动力。女士们、先生们！

当今世界正处在大发展大变革大调整时期，求和平、谋发展、促合作已经成为不可阻挡的时代潮流。让我们抓住机遇、携手前行，共同加强中美伙伴合作，同世界各国一道推动建设持久和平、共同繁荣的和谐世界。

PRESIDENT OBAMA: Thank you very much.Thank you.奥巴马欢迎词

各位早上好。尊敬的胡锦涛主席，尊敬的各位中国代表团成员，我谨代表米歇尔和我本人欢迎各位来到白宫。同时我代表美国人民，欢迎各位来到美国。

三十年前，也是在寒冷的一月，另一位美国总统卡特站在这里，欢迎中国领导人邓小平的到来。那次会面是一个历史性的突破，美中实现了两国邦交正常化。就在那一天，邓小平谈到了美中两国之间相互合作的巨大可能。

此刻回顾1979年的那个冬日，我们已然明了。在那之前的30年，美中两国隔阂疏远。而自那以来的30年，两国不断增进交流与理解。此次胡锦涛主席访美之行则是我们双方为未来三十年奠定基础的契机。

在美中合作的裨益遭到质疑之际，这次会面也是一个很好的机会，可以展示一个简单的道理。我们双方都从彼此的成功中获益良多。在一个相互联系的世界，在经济全球化的时代，包括美中两国在内的世界各国会因彼此合作而更加繁荣、安全。

美国欢迎中国崛起，成为国际社会强大、繁荣、成功的一员。事实上，中国的成功为中美两国人民带来了巨大的经济利益，中美两国在一系列问题上的合作有助于维护亚太地区乃至全球的和平稳定。

我们也都知道：历史表明，当所有国家、所有人民的权利得以保障、义务得以履行，当每个人的普遍权利得到维护，社会将更加和谐，国家更加成功，世界更加公正。

尊敬的胡锦涛主席，我们可以向两国人民学习。中美两国的学生和教育工作者、商人、旅行者、研究人员、科学家，也包括今天到场的华裔美国人，他们携手合作，每一天都取得共同进步。他们知道，即使中美两国在某些领域存在竞争，他们依然可以在其它领域，以相互尊重的精神，互惠互利的共识来携手合作。

邓小平多年前说过的话在今天依然适用。中美两国依然存在巨大的合作空间。尊敬的胡锦涛主席和中国代表团成员，让我们共同把握机会。欢迎来到美利坚合众国。欢迎（中文）。

第三篇：奥巴马父亲节英文讲话

Hi, everybody.Sunday is Father's Day.If you haven't got Dad a gift yet, there's still time.Just barely.But the truth is, what we give our fathers can never match what our fathers give us.I know how important it is to have a dad in your life, because I grew up without my father around.I felt the weight of his absence.So for Michelle and our girls, I try every day to be the husband and father my family didn't have when I was young.And every chance I get, I

encourage fathers to get more involved in their children's lives, because what makes you a man isn't the ability to have a child – it's the courage to raise one.Still, over the past couple years, I've met with a lot of young people who don't have a father figure around.And while there's nothing that can replace a parent, any of us can do our part to be a mentor, a sounding board, a role model for a kid who needs one.Earlier this year, I launched an initiative called My Brother's Keeper – an

all-hands-on-deck effort to help more of our young men reach their full potential.And if you want to be a mentor to a young man in your community, you can find out how at

WhiteHouse.gov/MyBrothersKeeper.Now, when I launched this initiative, I said that government can't play the primary role in a young person's life.Taking responsibility for being a great parent or mentor is a choice that we, as individuals, have to make.No government

program can ever take the place of a parent's love.Still, as a country, there are ways we can help support dads and moms who make that choice.That's why, earlier this week, we brought working dads from across America to the White House to talk about the challenges they face.And in a few weeks, I'll hold the

first-ever White House Working Families Summit.We've still got too many workplace policies that belong in the 1950s, and it's time to bring them up to date for today's families, where oftentimes, both parents are working.Moms and dads deserve affordable child care, and time off to care for a sick parent or child without running into hardship.Women deserve equal pay for equal work – and at a time when more women are breadwinners for a family, that benefits men, too.And because no parent who works full-time should have to raise a family in poverty, it's time for

Congress to follow the lead of state after state, get on the bandwagon, and give America a raise.Dads work hard.So our country should do what we can to make sure their hard work pays off;to make sure life for them and their families is a little less stressful, and a little more secure, so they can be the dads their kids need them to be.Because there's nothing more precious in life than the time we spend with our children.There's no better feeling than knowing that we can be there for them, and provide for them, and help give them every shot at success.Let's make sure every dad who works hard and takes

responsibility has the chance to know that feeling, not just on one Sunday, but every day of the year.Thanks everybody, happy Father's Day, and have a great weekend.

第四篇：2011胡锦涛访美 奥巴马白宫欢迎致辞[最终版]

Speech at the Official Welcoming Ceremony for President Hu Jintao

Good morning, everyone.President Hu, members of the Chinese delegation, on behalf of Michelle and myself, welcome to the White House.And on behalf of the American people, welcome to the United States.大家早上好！胡主席、中国代表团成员们，我谨代表米歇尔和我自己欢迎你们来到白宫，并代表美国人民欢迎你们来到美国。

Three decades ago, on a January day like this,another American President stood here and welcomed another Chinese leader for the historic normalization of relations between the United States and the People’s Republic of China.On that day, Deng Xiaoping spoke of the great possibilities of cooperation between our two nations.30年前，在像今天这样的一个1月的日子里，另一位美国总统站在这里欢迎另一位中国领导人，标志着美国和中华人民共和国关系正常化的历史时刻。在那一天，邓小平谈到了我们两国间巨大的合作机会。

Looking back on that winter day in 1979,it is now clear.The previous 30 years had been a time of estrangement for our two countries.The 30 years since have been a time of growing exchanges and understanding.And with this visit we can lay the foundation for the next 30 years.回首1979年那个冬日，现在一切都非常清晰。在那之前的30年是我们两国关系的僵持时期。在那之后的30年是交流与理解不断发展的时期。胡主席的此次访问能够让我们为未来30年奠定基础。

At a time when some doubt the benefits of cooperation between the United States and China,this visit is also a chance to demonstrate a simple truth.We have an enormous stake in each other’s success.In an interconnected world,in a global economy,nationswill be more prosperous and more secure when we work together.正当有人怀疑美中两国间的合作是否有利的时候展开的此次访问，也提供了展示一个简单事实的机会。我们与对方的成功利益攸关。在一个相互依存的世界、在全球经济中，如果我们齐心协力，各国—包括我国—将会更加繁荣、更加安全。

The United States welcomes China’s rise as a strong, prosperous and successful member of the community of nations.Indeed,China’s success has brought with it economic benefits for our people as well as yours,and our cooperation on a range of issues has helped advance stability in the Asia Pacific and in the world.美国欢迎中国崛起成为国际大家庭中的一个强大、繁荣、成功的成员。事实上，中国的成功已经既给你们的人民，也给我国人民带来了经济好处；我们在一系列问题上的合作帮助增进了亚太地区和世界的稳定。

We also know this:History shows that societies are more harmonious,nations are more successful,and the world is more just,when the rights and responsibilities of all nations and all people are upheld,including the universal rights of every human being.我们也很清楚：历史表明，当各国的权利和责任、各国人民的权利—包括每个人的普世权利—得到维护时，社会就更和谐、国家就更繁荣、世界就更公正。

Mr.President,we can learn from our people.Chinese and American students and educators,business people, tourists, researchers and scientists,including Chinese Americans who are here today —they work together and make progress together every single day.They know that even as our nations compete in some areas, we can cooperate in so many others, in a spirit of mutual respect,for our mutual benefit.主席先生，我们可以向我们的人民学习。中国和美国的学生和教育工作者、商界人士、旅游者、研究人员和科学家，包括今天在场的华裔美国人—他们一道努力，每天都在共同取得进步。他们知道，虽然我们两国在某些领域相互竞争，但我们能够在其他那么多领域本着相互尊重的精神，为着我们的共同利益而合作。

What Deng Xiaoping said long ago remains true today.There are still great possibilities for cooperation between our countries.President Hu,members of the Chinese delegation,let us seize these possibilities together.Welcome to the United States of America.Hwan-ying.邓小平多年前所说的话今天依然正确。我们两国之间仍然有着巨大的合作机会。胡主席、中国代表团成员们，让我们共同抓住这些机会。欢迎你们来到美利坚合众国，欢迎！

Over the past 32 years,since the establishment of diplomatic ties,the China-U.S.relationship has grown into one with strategic significance and global influence.Since President Obama took office,with concerted efforts of the two sides,our cooperation in various fields has produced fruitful results and our relations have achieved new progress.This has brought real benefits to our two peoples, and contributed greatly to world peace and development.在21世纪第二个十年开始之际，中美两国人民都期待中美关系发展得更好，各国人民都期待世界发展得更好。面对新形势新挑战，中美两国拥有广泛的共同利益，肩负着重要的共同责任。我们应该登高望远、求同存异，共同推动中美关系长期健康稳定发展。我希望通过这次访问，推进积极合作全面的中美关系，开启两国伙伴合作新篇章。

As we enter the second decade of the 21st century, the people of both China and the United States want to see further progress in our relations and people around the globe want to see greater prosperity in the world.Under the new circumstances, and in the face of new challenges, China and the United States share broad common interests and important common responsibilities.We should adopt a long-term perspective, seek common ground while resolving differences, and work together to achieve sustained, sound, and steady development of our relations.I hope that through this visit, our two countries will advance the positive, cooperative, and comprehensive relationship, and open a new chapter in our cooperation as partners.中美伙伴合作应该基于相互尊重。我们生活在一个越来越丰富多彩的世界之中。中美两国要尊重彼此对发展道路的选择，尊重对方核心利益，通过沟通加深了解，通过对话增进互信，通过交流扩大共识。

第五篇：奥巴马英文演讲

ello, 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.)

大家好!谢谢你们。谢谢你们。谢谢你们大家。好，大家请就坐。你们今天都好吗?(掌声)蒂姆·斯派塞(Tim Spicer)好吗?(掌声)我现在与弗吉尼亚州阿灵顿郡韦克菲尔德高中的学生们在一起。美国各地从小学预备班到中学12年级的学生正在收听收看。我很高兴大家今天都能参与。我还要感谢韦克菲尔德高中出色的组织安排。请为你们自己热烈鼓掌。(掌声)

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.我知道，今天是你们很多人开学的日子。对于进入小学预备班、初中或高中的学生，今天是你们来到新学校的第一天，心里可能有点紧张，这是可以理解的。我能想象有些毕业班学生现在感觉很不错——(掌声)——还有一年就毕业了。不论在哪个年级，你们有些人可能希望暑假更长一点，今天早上还能多睡一小会儿。

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.我了解这种感觉。我小时候，我们家生活在海外。我在印度尼西亚住了几年。我妈妈没有钱送我上其他美国孩子上的学校，但她认为必须让我接受美式教育。因此，她决定从周一到周五自己给我补课。不过她还要上班，所以只能在清晨四点半给我上课。

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.)

你们可以想见，我不太情愿那么早起床。有很多次，我趴在餐桌上就睡着了。但每当我抱怨的时候，我妈妈都会那样地看我一眼，然后说：“小子，这对我也并不轻松。”(笑声)

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.我知道你们有些人还在适应开学后的生活。但我今天来到这里是因为有重要的事情要和你们说。我来这里是要和你们谈谈你们的教育问题，以及在这个新学年对你们所有人的期望。

Now, I’ve given a lot of speeches about education.And I’ve talked about responsibility a lot.我做过很多次有关教育问题的演讲。我多次谈到过责任问题。

I’ve talked about teachers’ responsibility for inspiring students and pushing you to learn.我谈到过教师激励学生并督促他们学习的责任。

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.我谈到过家长的责任，要确保你们走正路，完成家庭作业，不要整天坐在电视前或玩Xbox游戏。

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.我多次谈到过政府的责任，要制定高标准，支持教师和校长的工作，彻底改善不能为学生提供应有机会的、教育质量差的学校。
