In 1784, our founding father, George Washington, missioned the Empress of China, a ship that set sail for these shores so that it could pursue trade with the Qing Dynasty. Washington wanted to see the ship carry the flag around the globe, and to forge new ties with nations like China. And even in the midst of tumultuous winds, our people had opportunities to forge deep and even dramatic ties. For instance, Americans will never forget the hospitality shown to our pilots who were shot down over your soil during World War II, and cared for by Chinese civilians who risked all that they had by doing so. The very unlikely nature of this engagement contributed to its success because for all our differences, both our mon humanity and our shared curiosity were revealed.在其后的30年我們又取得了長足的進(jìn)展。 and we export to China machinery that helps power your industry.隨著需求趨于平衡，繁榮的范圍將進(jìn)一步擴(kuò)大。 the promotion of peace and security in Asia and around the globe.And in 1979, the connections among our people were limited.

We have seen what is possible when we build upon our mutual interests, and engage on the basis of mutual respect.中國有句古言，溫故而知新。我們基于相互的利益、相互的尊重就能有成就。I believe that each country must chart its own course.Those documents put forward a simple vision of human affairs, and they enshrine several core principles that all men and women are created equal, and possess certain fundamental rights。Of course, the story of our nation is not without its difficult chapters. Even after they were freed, African Americans persevered through conditions that were separate and not equal, before winning full and equal rights.當(dāng)然，我們的國家歷史也不是沒有過困難的地方，從很多方面來講，很多年以來，我們是通過斗爭來促進(jìn)這些原則或者使所有的人民能夠享受到。 But we made progress because of our belief in those core principles, which have served as our pass through the darkest of storms. why opportu
