[00:00.19]Some fear that China will buy up American companies, but that fear also existed in the 80s, 一些人擔(dān)心中國(guó)將收購(gòu)美國(guó)公司，類似的擔(dān)憂在80年代也存在， [00:05.49]when America feared that Japan was going to buy up American companies. So what? 當(dāng)時(shí)美國(guó)擔(dān)心日本會(huì)收購(gòu)美國(guó)公司。而結(jié)果又怎么樣呢？ [00:10.41]It was just good, and to the benefit of America. 一切都好，美國(guó)只是從中受益。 [00:13.26]We should welcome China's investment in American companies, 我們應(yīng)該歡迎中國(guó)投資美國(guó)公司， [00:16.22]just as we welcome the billions of dollars that China has invested in U.S. treasury bonds. 就像歡迎中國(guó)投資億萬(wàn)美元購(gòu)買美國(guó)國(guó)債一樣。 [00:22.44]This shows that China has faith in America, and American investment in China shows that we have faith in you. 這表明，中國(guó)信任美國(guó)，而美國(guó)在中國(guó)的投資也表明美國(guó)對(duì)中國(guó)有信心。 [00:30.09]So I believe that China and U.S. economic relations will become even closer in the years ahead. 因此，我相信中美經(jīng)濟(jì)關(guān)系在未來(lái)將會(huì)更加密切。 [00:36.35]Certainly I realize that we do not agree on everything, but who does? 當(dāng)然，我們無(wú)法在任何事情上都達(dá)成共識(shí)，但誰(shuí)又能做到這一點(diǎn)呢？ [00:41.31]Certainly I realize that China has major hurdles to overcome, 當(dāng)然，我知道中國(guó)需要克服很多障礙， [00:45.08]but it is not for me to say how China should overcome those hurdles and achieve its dreams. 但關(guān)于中國(guó)應(yīng)如何克服這些困難并實(shí)現(xiàn)它的夢(mèng)想，我不會(huì)去評(píng)頭論足。 [00:51.59]But I can tell you, however, what has given America such energy and strength over the last 200 years, 但不管怎樣，我想說(shuō)，在過(guò)去的200年促使美國(guó)變得這么強(qiáng)大 [00:58.28]and perhaps there are some insights in this for China. 而充滿活力的因素也能為中國(guó)提供一些借鑒。 [01:01.52]America is a nation that believes in the power of the individual, and what the individual can accomplish, 美國(guó)是一個(gè)相信個(gè)人能力的國(guó)家，美國(guó)相信個(gè)人能力能取得很多成就， [01:07.59]no matter the color, no matter the religion, no matter the ethnic background of the individual. 不論其膚色、宗教信仰及種族背景。 [01:13.34]Recently, as you probably have read, Rosa Parks, a former seamstress married to a barber, 最近羅莎·帕克斯去世了，你們可能已經(jīng)看到了相關(guān)報(bào)道。她曾是一名裁縫，嫁給了理發(fā)師， [01:21.01]married to a hairdresser, died, and she lay in honor in the Rotunda of the U.S. Capitol in Washington. 但現(xiàn)在她卻長(zhǎng)眠于美國(guó)首都華盛頓國(guó)會(huì)大廈的圓形大廳里，受世人敬仰。 [01:28.10]People from around America came to say farewell to her and to thank her for changing our history and for changing our society. 來(lái)自美國(guó)各個(gè)州的人們都來(lái)和她告別，感謝她改變了我們的歷史、改變了我們的社會(huì)。
