First, on international security challenges, the United States and China have consulted closely on the challenge posed by Iran's nuclear program. The prospect of a nuclear-armed Iran concerns us all. And to address that threat, together we have pursued a dual-track approach of engagement and pressure, aimed at encouraging Iran's leaders to change course. The draft resolution agreed to by all of our P-5+1 partners and circulated at the Security Council sends a clear message to the Iranian leadership: Live up to your obligation, or face growing isolation and consequences. As we continue to cooperate in New York, the burden is on Iran to demonstrate through its actions that it will uphold its responsibility.

首先，对于国际安全方面的挑战，美国和中国就伊朗核项目构成的挑战进行了密切协商。伊朗拥有核武器的可能性受到我们大家的关注。为了消除这个威胁，我们共同采取了接触与施压的双轨方式，目的是促使伊朗领导人改弦易辙。我们 “5常+1”的伙伴一致达成的决议草案已在安理会分发，此举向伊朗的领导层发出了一个明确的信息：履行你的义务，否则将日益受孤立，面临更严重的后果。我们在纽约继续进行合作之际，伊朗有责任通过自己的行动表明将承担本身的责任。

Now, beyond these pressing challenges there are other shared security concerns that I look forward to discussing, including the fight against violent extremism in Afghanistan and Pakistan, counter-piracy efforts, and deeper military-to-military cooperation.

现在，除了这些紧迫的挑战之外，我还期待着讨论其它有关共同安全的问题，其中包括在阿富汗和巴基斯坦打击暴力极端主义，以及打击海盗的行动和更深入的军方与军方的合作。

Second, on climate and energy, we have built on the memorandum of understanding signed at the last round of the dialogues, collaborating on new, clean energy research, including a center. We have committed ourselves to an electrical vehicle initiative, and a renewable energy partnership, and more. At Copenhagen, for the first time, all major economies, including both the United States and China, made national commitments to curb carbon emissions and transparently report on their mitigation efforts. Now we must work to implement the Copenhagen accord with balanced commitments that are reflected in the ongoing negotiation.

在开幕仪式前，中国国务委员戴秉国（右）看着美国财政部长盖特纳（左一）与中国国务院副总理王岐山（右二）越过美国国务卿希拉里握手。

其次，在气候和能源方面，我们在第一轮对话期间签署备忘录的基础上继续努力，为研究新的清洁能源进行合作，包括建设一个中心。我们已对电动汽车计划、可再生能源伙伴关系等给予承诺。在哥本哈根，所有主要经济体，包括美国和中国，第一次以国家的名义承诺限制二氧化碳排放并就各国缓解气候变化的努力提供透明的报告。现在我们必须努力实施哥本哈根协定，坚持正在进行的谈判所反映的实现整体平衡的承诺。

And on behalf of Secretary Steven Chu, I extend his regrets. He was unable to be with us, because he had to stay and work very urgently on the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.

我代表朱棣文部长表达他的遗憾。他无法与我们一起出席会议，因为他需要留在墨西哥湾，完成有关石油泄漏的紧迫工作。

Third, on education, health, and development, tomorrow I will meet with State Councilor Lio to launch a new dialogue on educational and cultural exchanges that will deepen understanding and cooperation between our people. I am very pleased that Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius has joined us this year to expand cooperation on infectious diseases and other international health challenges. Our ambassador for global women's issues, Melanne Verveer, is also here because we recognize that the roles and rights of women are central to many of the issues we face, including devising a global strategy for development that is both sustainable and effective.

第三，教育、卫生与发展问题。明天我将会晤刘国务委员，开始新的关于教育和文化交流的对话，加深两国人民的相互理解和合作。我很高兴卫生与公众服务部部长凯瑟琳·西贝利厄斯今年加入我们的行列，为应对传染病和国际卫生领域其它方面的挑战扩大相互间的合作。我国全球妇女问题大使梅拉妮·弗维尔也在座，因为我们认识到，妇女的作用和权利对于解决我们面临的许多问题都举足轻重，其中包括制定可持续和切实有效的全球发展战略。

The Obama Administration has worked to advance a long-term investment-driven approach to development. And Administrator Raj Shah is leading our efforts. We have elevated development as a core pillar of our foreign policy, and we seek to coordinate with China and other donors to meet country-led needs and to comply with internationally-agreed standards.

对于发展问题，奥巴马政府努力促进长期投资驱动的模式。拉吉夫沙赫署长负责主持这方面的工作。我们已经把发展提升为我国外交政策的一个核心支柱，我们正争取与中国和其他捐助方进行协调，以满足国家主导的需求，同时遵循国际公认的标准。

Finally, we have worked together and seen progress on promoting global economic recovery and growth. Secretary Geithner, Secretary Locke, Ambassador Kirk, Chairman Bernanke, and the rest of our economic team will be talking in greater depth about how we can develop a more balanced global economy that will produce prosperity that reaches further and deeper for both the Chinese and American people.

最后，我们已为促进全球经济复苏和增长进行了共同努力并且已经看到了进展。盖特纳部长、骆家辉部长、柯克大使、伯南克主席以及我们经济团队的其他成员将就我们如何促进全球经济的平衡进行更深入的讨论，为美中两国人民创造进一步的更大繁荣。

Now, our discussions in these few days are unlikely to solve the shared challenges we face. But they can and should provide a framework for delivering real results to our people. We will not agree on every issue. But we will discuss them openly, as between friends and partners. And that includes America's commitment to universal human rights and dignity, and so much else that is on both Chinese and American minds.

当然，我们短短几天进行的讨论不可能解决我们共同面临的挑战，但我们能够而且应该提供一个有利于为两国人民带来实惠的框架。我们不可能在每一问题上达成一致，但我们能够像朋友和伙伴一样坦率地讨论这些问题，其中包括美国对普遍人权和尊严的承诺，以及中方和美方关心的许许多多其它问题。

There is a Chinese proverb that speaks of treading different paths that lead to the same destination. Our two nations have unique histories. China is home to an ancient civilization, as I saw in the Chinese Pavilion when I visited, with the scroll that has been made to come alive, showing life in this city 1,000 years ago. America is a young nation. But we know that our future, both our challenges and our opportunities, will be shared. We have traveled different paths, but that shared future is our common destination and responsibility. And, ultimately, that is what this dialogue is about.

中国有个成语，殊途同归。我们两国都有着独特的历史。中国是古代文明的发祥地之一。我在上海参观中国馆时看到的图像栩栩如生地展示了一千年以前的城市生活场景。美国是一个年轻的国家，但我们都知道，我们的未来，包括我们的挑战和机遇，都将是共同的。我们行进在不同的道路上，但共有的未来是我们共同的目的地和责任所在，归根结底也是这场对话的目的。

So, again, let me thank State Councilor Dai and Vice-Premier Wang, and I look forward to our discussions in an open and candid exchange of views. Thank you very much.

因此，我再次感谢戴国务委员和王副总理。我期待着我们通过公开、坦率的讨论交换意见。非常感谢诸位。
