【正文】 all businessowners across the country, even those that are making a profit. 我們應(yīng)當(dāng)從大多數(shù)新的就業(yè)崗位開(kāi)始的地方開(kāi)始 ——— 在小企業(yè)中，這些 公司的創(chuàng)業(yè)之初，企業(yè)家抱著一種夢(mèng)想碰運(yùn)氣，或者一名職工決定現(xiàn)在是自己當(dāng)自己的老板的時(shí)候了。憑著純粹的勇氣和決心，這些公司經(jīng)受住了這場(chǎng)經(jīng)濟(jì)衰退，現(xiàn)在準(zhǔn)備實(shí)現(xiàn)增長(zhǎng)。但是，當(dāng)你與賓夕法尼亞州阿倫敦或者俄亥俄州伊利里亞等地的小企業(yè)主交談時(shí)，你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)，盡管華爾街上的銀行重新開(kāi)始放貸，但它們主要是向比較大的公司放貸。對(duì)全國(guó)各地的小企業(yè)主甚至盈利的小區(qū)業(yè)主來(lái)說(shuō)，融資依然困難。 So tonight, I39。m proposing that we take $30 billion of the money Wall Street banks have repaid and use it to help munity banks give small businesses the credit they need to stay afloat. (Applause.) I39。m also proposing a new small business tax credit one that will go to over one million small businesses who hire new workers or raise wages. (Applause.) While we39。re at it, let39。s also eliminate all capital gains taxes on small business investment, and provide a tax incentive for all large businesses and all small businesses to invest in new plants and equipment. (Applause.) 因此，今晚，我建議我們從華爾街已經(jīng)償還的錢(qián)里面拿出 300 億美元，用于幫助社區(qū)銀行為小企業(yè)提供它們持續(xù)經(jīng)營(yíng)所需的信貸。我還建議實(shí)行一項(xiàng)新的小企業(yè)稅收優(yōu)惠 ——— 這項(xiàng)優(yōu)惠將提供給雇用新職工或者提高工資的小企業(yè)，這些企業(yè)超過(guò) 100 萬(wàn)家。在進(jìn)行這項(xiàng)工作的同時(shí)，我們還要取消對(duì)小企業(yè)投資征收的所有 資本利得稅，并為所有大企業(yè)和所有小企業(yè)提供一項(xiàng)稅收鼓勵(lì)措施，促使其投資于開(kāi)辦新的工廠(chǎng)和采購(gòu)新的設(shè)備。 Next, we can put Americans to work today building the infrastructure of tomorrow. (Applause.) From the first railroads to the Interstate Highway System, our nation has always been built to pete. There39。s no reason Europe or China should have the fastest trains, or the new factories that manufacture clean energy products. 其次，我們今天還可以讓美國(guó)人在修建明天的基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施方面找到工作。從最初的鐵路到州際高速公路系統(tǒng)，我們的國(guó)家一直是為了在競(jìng)爭(zhēng)中獲勝而進(jìn)行建設(shè)的。歐洲或者中國(guó)沒(méi)有任何理由應(yīng)當(dāng)擁有最快的列車(chē)，或者制造清潔能源產(chǎn)品的新工廠(chǎng)。 Tomorrow, I39。ll visit Tampa, Florida, where workers will soon break ground on a new highspeed railroad funded by the Recovery Act. (Applause.) There are projects like that all across this country that will create jobs and help move our nation39。s goods, services, and information. (Applause.) 明天我將訪(fǎng)問(wèn)佛羅里達(dá)州的坦帕市。那里的工人很快就會(huì)破土動(dòng)工，修筑經(jīng)濟(jì)復(fù)興法案提供資助的一條新的高速鐵路。全國(guó)各地都有類(lèi)似的項(xiàng)目。這些項(xiàng)目將創(chuàng)造就業(yè)機(jī)會(huì)，幫助運(yùn)輸和傳 遞我國(guó)的商品、勞務(wù)與信息。 We should put more Americans to work building clean energy facilities (applause) and give rebates to Americans who make their homes more energyefficient, which supports clean energy jobs. (Applause.) And to encourage these and other businesses to stay within our borders, it is time to finally slash the tax breaks for panies that ship our jobs overseas, and give those tax breaks to panies that create jobs right here in the United States of America. (Applause.) 我們應(yīng)當(dāng)讓更多的美國(guó)人在修 建清潔能源設(shè)施方面找到工作 ——— 并向提高自己的住宅的能源效率的美國(guó)人提供退稅，因?yàn)檫@種努力支撐著清潔能源領(lǐng)域中的就業(yè)機(jī)會(huì)。為了鼓勵(lì)這些企業(yè)以及其它企業(yè)留在我國(guó)境內(nèi)，現(xiàn)在是最終削減向把我們的就業(yè)崗位轉(zhuǎn)移到海外的公司提供的稅收減免，把這種減免提供給在美國(guó)境內(nèi)創(chuàng)造就業(yè)機(jī)會(huì)的公司。 Now, the House has passed a jobs bill that includes some of these steps. (Applause.) As the first order of business this year, I urge the Senate to do the same, and I know they will. (Applause.) They will. (Applause.) People are out of work. They39。re hurting. They need our help. And I want a jobs bill on my desk without delay. (Applause.) 現(xiàn)在，眾議院已經(jīng)通過(guò)了一項(xiàng)就業(yè)法案，其中包括了這些措 施當(dāng)中的一些。作為今年要辦的頭一件事，我敦促參議院也這樣做。我知道他們會(huì)這樣做的。他們會(huì)的。人們失去了工作。他們?nèi)淌苤鴤ΑＫ麄冃枰覀兊膸椭?。我希望毫無(wú)耽擱地獲得一項(xiàng)有關(guān)就業(yè)的提案。 But the truth is, these steps won39。t make up for the seven million jobs that we39。ve lost over the last two years. The only way to move to full employment is to lay a new foundation for longterm economic growth, and finally address the problems that America39。s families have confronted for years. 但事情的真相是，這些舉措不會(huì)彌補(bǔ)我們最近兩年來(lái)所失去的 700 萬(wàn)個(gè)就業(yè)崗位。實(shí)現(xiàn)充分就業(yè)的唯一途徑就是為經(jīng)濟(jì)的長(zhǎng)期增長(zhǎng)奠定新的基礎(chǔ)，最終解決美國(guó)的家庭多年來(lái)所面臨的問(wèn)題。 We can39。t afford another socalled economic expansion like the one from the last decade what some call the lost decade where jobs grew more slowly than during any prior expansion。 where the ine of the average American household declined while the cost of health care and tuition reached record highs。 where prosperity was built on a housing bubble and financial speculation. 我們無(wú)法承受代價(jià)，迎接像最近 10 年來(lái)那樣的一場(chǎng)新的所謂的經(jīng)濟(jì)“ 擴(kuò)展 ” 。一些人稱(chēng)之為 “ 損失的 10 年 ” 。在此期間，就業(yè)崗位的增加速度要比任何從前的經(jīng)濟(jì)擴(kuò)展期間都緩慢，美國(guó)家庭的平均收入下降，醫(yī)療保健費(fèi)用和學(xué)費(fèi)達(dá)到了創(chuàng)紀(jì)錄的高點(diǎn)，經(jīng)濟(jì)繁榮建立在一場(chǎng)住房建筑泡沫與金融投機(jī)基礎(chǔ)上。 From the day I took office, I39。ve been told that addressing our larger challenges is too ambitious。 such an effort would be too contentious. I39。ve been told that our political system is too gridlocked, and that
