奥巴马2015国情咨文演讲（双语全文）

Finally, as we better train our workers, we need the new economy to keep churning out high-wage jobs for our workers to fill. Since 2010, America has put more people back to work than Europe, Japan, and all advanced economies combined.

最后，在培养更称职的劳动力的同时，我们需要新经济为劳动力提供高薪职位。自2010年起，美国经济让很多的失业者重回工作岗位，这个人数比欧洲、日本和所有发达经济体的总和还多。

Our manufacturers have added almost 800,000 new jobs. Some of our bedrock sectors, like our auto industry, are booming. But there are also millions of Americans who work in jobs that didn't even exist 10 or 20 years ago -- jobs at companies like Google, and eBay, and Tesla.

我们的制造业增加了近80万个新职位。包括汽车业在内的基础领域正在蓬勃发展。还有数百万美国人在10年前或20年前根本不存在的行业工作，比如谷歌，eBay和特斯拉的工作。

So no one knows for certain which industries will generate the jobs of the future. But we do know we want them here in America. We know that. And that's why the third part of middle-class economics is all about building the most competitive economy anywhere, the place where businesses want to locate and hire.

所以，没有人知道哪个行业会在未来提供就业机会，但是我们知道，我们要把这些机会留在美国。因此，中产阶级经济学的第三个要素就是要建立最有竞争力的经济，这样才能留住商家并提供就业。

Twenty-first century businesses need 21st century infrastructure -- modern ports, and stronger bridges, faster trains and the fastest Internet. Democrats and Republicans used to agree on this. So let's set our sights higher than a single oil pipeline. Let's pass a bipartisan infrastructure plan that could create more than 30 times as many jobs per year, and make this country stronger for decades to come. Let's do it. Let's get it done.

21世纪的商业需要21世纪的基础设施，现代港口、更坚固的桥梁、更快的火车和最快的互联网。民主共和两党曾经在这方面看法一致。所以，让我们的目光超越一条输油管道，让两党通过一项基础设施议案，来创造每年30倍于现在的工作机会，使我们的国家在未来几十年变得更加强大。

Twenty-first century businesses, including small businesses, need to sell more American products overseas. Today, our businesses export more than ever, and exporters tend to pay their workers higher wages. But as we speak, China wants to write the rules for the world's fastest-growing region. That would put our workers and our businesses at a disadvantage. Why would we let that happen? We should write those rules. We should level the playing field. That's why I'm asking both parties to give me trade promotion authority to protect American workers, with strong new trade deals from Asia to Europe that aren't just free, but are also fair. It's the right thing to do.

21世纪的企业，包括小企业在内，都需要将美国产品畅销海外。今天，我们的经济出口超过以往，出口商往往能够支付更高的工资。但同时，中国希望为目前世界发展最快的地区制定游戏规则。这将陷我们的工人和企业于不利之地。我们怎么能让事情这样发展？这些规则应当由我们来定。我们应当创造公平的竞争环境。这就是为什么我要求两党赋予我促进贸易的权力，来保护美国工人，与从亚洲到欧洲的国家签订新的贸易协定，不仅仅是自由贸易，而且是公平贸易。

Look, I'm the first one to admit that past trade deals haven't always lived up to the hype, and that's why we've gone after countries that break the rules at our expense. But 95 percent of the world's customers live outside our borders. We can't close ourselves off from those opportunities. More than half of manufacturing executives have said they're actively looking to bring jobs back from China. So let's give them one more reason to get it done.

我是第一个承认以往的贸易协定并非都像宣传得那么美好的人，所以，我们打击那些破坏规则给我们造成损失的国家。可是，世界上95%的顾客居住在我们的国界之外，我们不能把自己隔绝在这些机会之外。超过一半的制造业主管都表示，他们正积极考虑将工作机会从中国转移回来。让我们再给他们一条这样做的理由。

Twenty-first century businesses will rely on American science and technology, research and development. I want the country that eliminated polio and mapped the human genome to lead a new era of medicine -- one that delivers the right treatment at the right time.

21世纪的企业倚赖美国的科学、技术、研究和开发。我希望这个消灭了小儿麻痹症并且绘制出人类基因图谱的国家来引领医学的新时代，在正确的时间给予正确的治疗。

In some patients with cystic fibrosis, this approach has reversed a disease once thought unstoppable. So tonight, I'm launching a new Precision Medicine Initiative to bring us closer to curing diseases like cancer and diabetes, and to give all of us access to the personalized information we need to keep ourselves and our families healthier. We can do this.

对一些患有囊肿性纤维化疾病的病人来说，这一方式战胜了曾经被认为无法治愈的疾病。今晚，我要发起一个新的“精确医疗倡议”，让我们朝着治愈癌症和糖尿病等疾病的目标迈进一步，也让我们能够获得保持自己和家庭成员健康所需的个体化信息。

I intend to protect a free and open Internet, extend its reach to every classroom, and every community -- and help folks build the fastest networks so that the next generation of digital innovators and entrepreneurs have the platform to keep reshaping our world.

我计划要保护自由开放的互联网，让每一个教室、每一个社区都能使用，我要帮助打造最快的网络，使下一代的数字革新者和企业家就能拥有一个平台，继续改变我们的世界。

I want Americans to win the race for the kinds of discoveries that unleash new jobs -- converting sunlight into liquid fuel; creating revolutionary prosthetics, so that a veteran who gave his arms for his country can play catch with his kids again. Pushing out into the solar system not just to visit, but to stay. Last month, we launched a new spacecraft as part of a reenergized space program that will send American astronauts to Mars. And in two months, to prepare us for those missions, Scott Kelly will begin a year-long stay in space. So good luck, Captain. Make sure to Instagram it. We're proud of you.

我希望美国人民能够在带来新工作的科学探索竞争中获胜，例如把太阳光转化为液态燃料；制作出具有创新性的假肢，使为国出征失去手臂的退伍老兵还能和他的孩子玩接球；走进太阳系，不是为了拜访，而是为了居住。上个月，我们发射了一艘新的宇宙飞船，是我们正在振兴的航天计划的一部分，这个计划将把美国宇航员送上火星。两个月后，斯科特-凯利将在空间站开始为期一年的驻留，帮助我们为那些太空飞行做准备。祝你好运，船长，记得要拍照与我们分享。我们为你而感到骄傲。

Now, the truth is, when it comes to issues like infrastructure and basic research, I know there's bipartisan support in this chamber. Members of both parties have told me so. Where we too often run onto the rocks is how to pay for these investments. As Americans, we don't mind paying our fair share of taxes as long as everybody else does, too. But for far too long, lobbyists have rigged the tax code with loopholes that let some corporations pay nothing while others pay full freight. They've riddled it with giveaways that the super-rich don't need, while denying a break to middle-class families who do.

事实上，我知道在座两党对于基础设施和基础研究的问题都是支持的。两党的成员都曾对我这样表示过。我们经常在如何支付投资这个问题上碰壁。作为美国人，我们不介意支付公平份额的税收，只要每个人都是如此。但长时间以来，说客们利用税法中的许多漏洞，让一些公司分文不付，而让其他公司全部买单。他们给予富人以根本不需要的实惠，却不肯给予真正有需要的中产阶级家庭以任何减免。

This year, we have an opportunity to change that. Let's close loopholes so we stop rewarding companies that keep profits abroad, and reward those that invest here in America. (Applause.) Let's use those savings to rebuild our infrastructure and to make it more attractive for companies to bring jobs home. Let's simplify the system and let a small business owner file based on her actual bank statement, instead of the number of accountants she can afford. (Applause.) And let's close the loopholes that lead to inequality by allowing the top one percent to avoid paying taxes on their accumulated wealth. We can use that money to help more families pay for childcare and send their kids to college. We need a tax code that truly helps working Americans trying to get a leg up in the new economy, and we can achieve that together. (Applause.) We can achieve it together.

今年，我们有了改变这一切的机会。让我们填补这些漏洞，不再奖励那些将利润留在国外的公司，而是奖励那些投资美国的公司。让我们利用这些资金来重建我们的基础设施，使其对企业更具吸引力，从而把工作机会带回国内。让我们简化税收制度，使小业主能够使用实际银行报表来报税，而不是根据其雇用的会计师数目。让我们清除那些导致不公平的漏洞，让那1%的富人为他们积累的财富付税。我们可以用这些钱来帮助更多的家庭负担照顾小孩和支撑孩子读大学的费用。我们需要一部真正能够帮助工作的美国人在新经济中向前迈进的税法，我们能够携手达到这个目标。

Helping hardworking families make ends meet. Giving them the tools they need for good-paying jobs in this new economy. Maintaining the conditions of growth and competitiveness. This is where America needs to go. I believe it's where the American people want to go. It will make our economy stronger a year from now, 15 years from now, and deep into the century ahead.

要帮助努力工作的家庭达到收支平衡。要给他们提供他们所需的工具，让他们在新经济中找到薪水优渥的工作。要为增长和竞争力保持好的环境。这是美国要前进的方向。我相信这也是美国人民想要前进的方向。这会让我们的经济在一年以后、15年以后，甚至百年以后更加强大。
