it as we only Congress can finish the joband lift Americans’ wages across the ，六個(gè)州已通過(guò)提高最低工資的立法，就在我們談話過(guò)程中，更多的州正在完成立法程序。it’s good business and good for our helps reduce turnover, it boostsproductivity, and it gives folks some more money to spend at local ——他表示：―[這一決定]對(duì)我們的品牌是合適的，對(duì)我們的員工是有幫助的，對(duì)我們的客戶也是有益的。So it’s good news that, earlier this week, one of America’s largest retailers, The Gap, decided to raisewages for its employees beginning this decision will benefit about 65,000 workers in means more families will be able to raise their kids, finish their studies, or keep up on theirbills with a little less financial stress and ，本周早些時(shí)候，美國(guó)最大零售商之一蓋普公司決定，今年開(kāi)始為員工提高工資，這是個(gè)好消息。但美國(guó)的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)力也要求我們前瞻世界的應(yīng)然狀態(tài)：個(gè)人的愿望得到尊重，統(tǒng)治人們的是希望而非恐懼，我們的立國(guó)文獻(xiàn)中所寫(xiě)下的真理可以引導(dǎo)世界歷史潮流走向正義的方向。我們的部隊(duì)明白了，對(duì)外援助不是細(xì)枝末節(jié)，不是可以跟國(guó)防分開(kāi)考慮的事情。這一切都在為我們贏得新的伙伴，擠壓恐怖主義和暴力沖突的空間。那是我們所代表的一切。公民社會(huì)、新聞自由令我們的力量有增無(wú)減。這就是美國(guó)的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)力。與此同時(shí)，像緬甸，幾年前還是不可理喻、對(duì)美國(guó)充滿敵意的專(zhuān)制國(guó)家，那可是4千萬(wàn)人口的國(guó)家啊。各種新突破讓數(shù)以億計(jì)的人脫離貧困。腐敗的癌癥讓太多的政府官員和他們的圈內(nèi)人一夜暴富，激怒了從偏遠(yuǎn)鄉(xiāng)村到偉大廣場(chǎng)上的普通公民?；谧杂伞㈤_(kāi)放市場(chǎng)的經(jīng)濟(jì)體表現(xiàn)更佳，也會(huì)成為我們產(chǎn)品的市場(chǎng)。我們代表著更長(zhǎng)遠(yuǎn)的和平，而只有當(dāng)其他地方的人們獲得機(jī)會(huì)和自由，那種和平才會(huì)來(lái)臨。但讓我們成為例外的不是我們違反國(guó)際規(guī)則和法治的能力，而是我們以實(shí)際行動(dòng)來(lái)肯定它們的意愿。那不是領(lǐng)導(dǎo)，那是退卻。諸君請(qǐng)看，美國(guó)的影響力最強(qiáng)之際，都是我們用榜樣的力量領(lǐng)導(dǎo)世界之時(shí)。我們也試圖通過(guò)國(guó)際法解決那些爭(zhēng)端。這是正確的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)方式。與之相似，聯(lián)合國(guó)提供了一個(gè)在沖突不斷的各國(guó)之間維持和平的平臺(tái)。在上述兩個(gè)例子中，我們打造同盟應(yīng)對(duì)挑戰(zhàn)。這份協(xié)議比我們用武力所能達(dá)成的更有效，更牢靠。但就在我擔(dān)任總統(tǒng)的初期，我們組成了一個(gè)聯(lián)盟，對(duì)伊朗經(jīng)濟(jì)實(shí)施制裁，并對(duì)伊朗政府伸出外交之手。上周周末，數(shù)以百萬(wàn)計(jì)的烏克蘭公民投了票。但這并不是冷戰(zhàn)重演。在他們看來(lái)，通過(guò)聯(lián)合國(guó)這種國(guó)際組織來(lái)做事或遵守國(guó)際法是軟弱的標(biāo)志。如今，正如這個(gè)世界已經(jīng)變化，這一國(guó)際治理架構(gòu)也需要因時(shí)而變。透明度問(wèn)題直接關(guān)系到美國(guó)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)力的第三個(gè)層面，那就是加強(qiáng)國(guó)際秩序。我們必須對(duì)公眾作出解釋。但就像我去年所說(shuō)，在采取直接行動(dòng)時(shí)我們必須堅(jiān)持標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，持守我們的價(jià)值觀。我所描述的伙伴關(guān)系并不意味著，不需要采取任何直接行動(dòng)，實(shí)施必要的自衛(wèi)了。依靠我今天倡議設(shè)立的這個(gè)新基金，我們將幫助敘利亞的鄰國(guó)約旦、黎巴嫩、土耳其和伊拉克，幫助他們?cè)跀⒗麃嗊吘呈鑼?dǎo)難民，拒斥恐怖分子。這場(chǎng)令人沮喪的危機(jī)沒(méi)有容易的解決辦法，用任何軍事手段都不可能很快消除那里令人發(fā)指的暴行。所以，今年早些時(shí)候，我要求我的國(guó)家安全團(tuán)隊(duì)制定一套計(jì)劃，從南亞到非洲薩赫勒地區(qū)打造一個(gè)伙伴網(wǎng)絡(luò)。今年年初，正是那些阿富汗部隊(duì)保障了這個(gè)國(guó)家完成其歷史上首次民主的政權(quán)交接。培養(yǎng)伙伴的能力正是我們?cè)诎⒏缓顾龅闹饕ぷ髦?。它也加劇了防衛(wèi)薄弱的目標(biāo)遇襲的危險(xiǎn)，就像我們?cè)趦?nèi)羅畢購(gòu)物中心襲擊事件中看到的情況一樣。但是入侵所有庇護(hù)恐怖主義網(wǎng)絡(luò)的國(guó)家，這種戰(zhàn)略既是天真的，也是不可持續(xù)的。而是必須動(dòng)員盟友和伙伴采取集體行動(dòng)。在這些情況下，我們?nèi)皂氉穯?wèn)，我們的行動(dòng)是否適度、有效和正義。我們手中握有最好的榔頭，并不意味著所有的問(wèn)題就都成了釘子。這是我的底線：在世界舞臺(tái)上，美國(guó)必須堅(jiān)持發(fā)揮領(lǐng)導(dǎo)作用。還有很多西點(diǎn)生負(fù)傷。對(duì)這個(gè)問(wèn)題理解深刻的艾森豪威爾將軍1947年在這個(gè)典禮上說(shuō)得好：“戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)是人類(lèi)最可悲、最愚昧的蠢行。我堅(jiān)信，建設(shè)一個(gè)更自由、更寬容的世界不僅是一種道德要求，也有助于保障我們本國(guó)的安全。當(dāng)敘利亞內(nèi)戰(zhàn)向境外蔓延，經(jīng)過(guò)戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)歷練的極端組織攻擊美國(guó)的能力只會(huì)有增無(wú)減。但我認(rèn)為，上面兩種觀點(diǎn)都沒(méi)有充分滿足當(dāng)今時(shí)代所提出的要求。并不奇怪，在經(jīng)歷了靡費(fèi)的戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)和國(guó)內(nèi)的重重挑戰(zhàn)之后，很多美國(guó)人都有類(lèi)似想法。應(yīng)對(duì)這樣一個(gè)新世界，是你們這一代的任務(wù)?！?11”以后我們深刻地認(rèn)識(shí)到，新技術(shù)和全球化如何讓個(gè)人掌握了原本只有國(guó)家才有的力量，提升了恐怖主義者實(shí)施傷害的能力。我國(guó)是而且仍然是一個(gè)不可或缺的國(guó)家。從歐洲到亞洲，如此眾多的盟友簇?fù)碓谖覀冎車(chē)瑸槿f(wàn)國(guó)歷史上所僅見(jiàn)。我們的軍事實(shí)力舉世無(wú)匹。經(jīng)此巨變，我們已將資源重新集中于美國(guó)實(shí)力的本源：不斷成長(zhǎng)的經(jīng)濟(jì)——能夠?yàn)槊恳粋€(gè)愿在國(guó)內(nèi)勤勉工作、盡職盡責(zé)的人創(chuàng)造機(jī)會(huì)。四年半之后，當(dāng)你們畢業(yè)之時(shí)，局面已經(jīng)改變了。當(dāng)我2009年第一次在西點(diǎn)演講時(shí)，我們?cè)谝晾诉€有10萬(wàn)多名駐軍。Today, according to selfdescribed realists, conflicts in Syria or Ukraine or the Central African Republic are not ours to not surprisingly, after costly wars and continuing challenges here at home, that view is shared by many ，那些自詡為現(xiàn)實(shí)主義者的人認(rèn)為，美國(guó)無(wú)需理會(huì)發(fā)生在敘利亞、烏克蘭，以及中非共和國(guó)的沖突。擺在我們面前的問(wèn)題，不是美國(guó)是否處在領(lǐng)導(dǎo)地位，而是她將如何引領(lǐng)各國(guó)。From Brazil to India, rising middle classes pete with us, and governments seek a greater say in global even as developing nations embrace democracy and market economies, 24hour news and social media makes it impossible to ignore

，新興中產(chǎn)階級(jí)在與我們展開(kāi)競(jìng)爭(zhēng)，此外，各國(guó)謀求在國(guó)際事務(wù)中爭(zhēng)取更多話語(yǔ)權(quán)。But the world is changing with accelerating presents opportunity, but also new know all too well, after
