Where we've connected businesses to research universities that can help America lead the world in advanced technologies. Tonight, I'm announcing we'll launch six more this year. Bipartisan bills in both houses could double the number of these hubs and the jobs they create. So get those bills to my desk and put more Americans back to work.

把商业和帮助美国引领世界先进技术的研究型大学联系起来。今晚,我宣布我们将着手建设运营另外6个这样的中心。两院、两党的法案能够让这些中心的数量翻一番,让中心带来的就业岗位翻一番。那么,让这些法案放上我的办公桌吧,让更多的美国人回到工作中。

Let's do more to help the entrepreneurs and small business owners who create most new jobs in America. Over the past five years, my administration has made more loans to small business owners than any other. And when ninety-eight percent of our exporters are small businesses, new trade partnerships with Europe and the Asia-Pacific will help them create more jobs. We need to work together on tools like bipartisan trade promotion authority to protect our workers, protect our environment, and open new markets to new goods stamped "Made in the USA." China and Europe aren't standing on the sidelines. Neither should we.

让我们给予企业家和小企业主更多帮助,美国多数新岗位都是他们创造的。在过去的5年中,政府向小企业主发放的贷款数额之多,前所未有。我们98%的出口商都是小企业,与欧洲和亚太的新贸易伙伴关系会帮助他们创造更多就业。我们需要共同努力,通过两党的权威与合作,以贸易促进等方式保护我们的工人,保护我们的环境,向标有“美国制造”的新产品开放新市场。中国和欧洲都在积极行动,我们也应该行动起来。

We know that the nation that goes all-in on innovation today will own the global economy tomorrow. This is an edge America cannot surrender. Federally funded research helped lead to the ideas and inventions behind Google and smartphones. That's why Congress should undo the damage done by last year's cuts to basic research so we can unleash the next great American discovery - whether it's vaccines that stay ahead of drug-resistant bacteria, or paper-thin material that's stronger than steel. And let's pass a patent reform bill that allows our businesses to stay focused on innovation, not costly, needless litigation.

我们知道,今天在创新方面锐意进取的国家明天将主宰世界经济。这是美国不能放弃的战线。联邦政府资助的研究帮扶了谷歌和智能手机背后的发明和创意。因此,国会应该缓解由去年削减基础研究资金带来的伤害,这样我们就能解放美国人的下一个伟大发现——不论是能对付耐药菌的疫苗,还是纸一样纤薄,钢一样强硬的材料。让我们通过专利改革法案,让我们的商界长期专注于创新,不为毫无必要却花销巨大的诉讼分神。

Now, one of the biggest factors in bringing more jobs back is our commitment to American energy. The all-of-the-above energy strategy I announced a few years ago is working, and today, America is closer to energy independence than we've been in decades.

现在,我们对美国能源的承诺是将更多工作带回美国的关键因素之一。我在几年前宣布的所有能源策略都在起作用。今天,美国比近10年来任何时候都接近能源独立。

One of the reasons why is natural gas - if extracted safely, it's the bridge fuel that can power our economy with less of the carbon pollution that causes climate change. Businesses plan to invest almost $100 billion in new factories that use natural gas. I'll cut red tape to help states get those factories built, and this Congress can help by putting people to work building fueling stations that shift more cars and trucks from foreign oil to American natural gas. My administration will keep working with the industry to sustain production and job growth while strengthening protection of our air, our water, and our communities. And while we're at it, I'll use my authority to protect more of our pristine federal lands for future generations.

原因之一是天然气——如果安全萃取,它将成为合适的燃料,既能为我们的经济提供能量,又能减少导致气候变化的碳污染。商业部门计划投资使用天然气的工厂,金额总值近1000亿美元。我将简化手续以敦促各州建立此类工厂,此次会议还将组织人员建立加油站,借以将更多轿车和卡车的燃料从外国进口石油变为美国产天然气。为维持现有产量和就业增长率,同时更多保护我们的空气、水资源及社区,我的行政部门将持续与工业部门合作。一旦我们的合作到达预想的高度,为了我们的子孙后代,我将利用我的职权保护我们的原始联邦土地。

It's not just oil and natural gas production that's booming; we're becoming a global leader in solar, too. Every four minutes, another American home or business goes solar; every panel pounded into place by a worker whose job can't be outsourced. Let's continue that progress with a smarter tax policy that stops giving $4 billion a year to fossil fuel industries that don't need it, so that we can invest more in fuels of the future that do.

迅猛增长的不仅仅是石油和天然气的产量。我们也会成为太阳能方面的国际领袖。每4分钟就有一个美国家庭或美国公司采用太阳能系统,每一片太阳板都是由业务不能外包的工人放置。让我们通过更灵活的税收政策继续进步,包括停止向不需要化石燃料的工厂供应每年40亿美金,这样我们就能向未来使用化学燃料的工厂投资更多资金。

And even as we've increased energy production, we've partnered with businesses, builders and local communities to reduce the energy we consume. When we rescued our automakers, for example, we worked with them to set higher fuel efficiency standards for our cars. In the coming months, I'll build on that success by setting new standards for our trucks, so we can keep driving down oil imports and what we pay at the pump.

我们能源生产率增加的同时,为了减少所消耗的能量,我们与商业部门、建筑商及当地社区建立了合作伙伴关系。举个例子,当我们向汽车制造商提供援助时,我们与他们合作从而提高了轿车的燃料效率标准。未来几个月里,我将延续这一成功的做法,为卡车设定新的标准,这样我们就能继续减少燃油出口量并降低油价了。

Taken together, our energy policy is creating jobs and leading to a cleaner, safer planet. Over the past eight years, the United States has reduced our total carbon pollution more than any other nation on Earth. But we have to act with more urgency - because a changing climate is already harming western communities struggling with drought, and coastal cities dealing with floods. That's why I directed my administration to work with states, utilities, and others to set new standards on the amount of carbon pollution our power plants are allowed to dump into the air. The shift to a cleaner energy economy won't happen overnight, and it will require tough choices along the way. But the debate is settled. Climate change is a fact. And when our children's children look us in the eye and ask if we did all we could to leave them a safer, more stable world, with new sources of energy, I want us to be able to say yes, we did.

综上所述,我们的能源政策提高了就业率,使世界变得更加清洁安全。过去8年间,美国碳污染排放减少量比世界其他任何国家都要多。但是我们需要行动地更加迅速——因为气候变化已经开始危害西部地区,它们正与干旱作斗争,同时沿海城市也被受洪灾困扰。以上是我领导我的行政机构与各州、各公共事业单位和其他单位一同合作并设立允许排放的碳污染物量标准的原因。建立更加清洁的美国能源经济不是一夜之间就能完成的,这需要我们一路上艰难的进行抉择。然而这一议题已定,气候变化已成为事实。当我们孩子的孩子看着我们的眼睛,问我们是不是已经尽力为他们提供更加安全又稳定的世界,是不是有新能源的资源时,我想那时我们能够回答出,是的,我们做到了。
