，歷史洪流使我們兩國關(guān)系向許多不同的方向發(fā)展，但即使在動蕩的歲月中，兩國人民也抓住機會發(fā)展了深入的、甚至極不平凡的關(guān)系。例如，美國人民永遠(yuǎn)不會忘記，二戰(zhàn)期間，美國飛行員在中國上空被擊落后，中國公民冒著失去一切的危險護(hù)理他們。參加過二戰(zhàn)的中國老兵仍然熱情歡迎故地重游的美國老兵，他們曾經(jīng)在那里作戰(zhàn)，幫助中國從占領(lǐng)下獲得解放。A different kind of connection was made nearly 40 years ago when the frost between our countries began to thaw through the simple game of table very unlikely nature of this engagement contributed to its successbecause for all our differences, both our mon humanity and our shared curiosity were one American player described his visit to China“[The]people are just like us?The country is very similar to America, but still very different.”近40年前，簡單的乒乓球比賽帶來了兩國關(guān)系的解凍，使我們兩國建立起另一種聯(lián)系。這種接觸令人意外，但卻恰恰促成了其成功，因為盡管我們之間存在許多分歧，但是我們共同的人性和共同的好奇心得以從中顯現(xiàn)。正如一位美國乒乓球隊員在回憶對中國的訪問時所說：“那里的人民和我們一樣??這個國家和美國有許多相似之處，也有很大區(qū)別。”O(jiān)f course this small opening was followed by the achievement of the Shanghai Communique, and the eventual establishment of formal relations between the United States and China in in three decades, just look at how far we have ，這個小小的契機帶來了《上海公報》的問世，并最終促使美中兩國在1979年建立正式外交關(guān)系。請看在此后的30年，我們?nèi)〉昧硕嗝撮L足的進(jìn)展。In 1979, trade between the United States and China stood at roughly $5 billiontoday it tops over $400 billion each merce affects our people39。s lives in so many imports from China many of the puter parts we use, the clothes we wear。and we export to China machinery that helps power your trade

，美中貿(mào)易額約為50億美元，今天，貿(mào)易額已經(jīng)超過4000億美元。貿(mào)易在許多方面影響著兩國人民的生活，美國電腦中的許多元件以及我們身穿的服裝都是從中國進(jìn)口的，我們向中國出口你們的工業(yè)需要的機器。這種貿(mào)易可以在太平洋兩岸創(chuàng)造更多的就業(yè)機會，讓我們的人民過上質(zhì)量更高的生活。隨著需求趨于平衡，繁榮的范圍將進(jìn)一步擴大。In 1979, the political cooperation between the United States and China was rooted largely in our shared rivalry with the Soviet , we have a positive, constructive and prehensive relationship that opens the door to partnership on the key global issues of our timeeconomic recovery and the development of clean energy。stopping the spread of nuclear weapons and the scourge of climate change。the promotion of peace and security in Asia and around the of these issues will be on the agenda tomorrow when I meet with President ，美中之間的政治合作主要立足于雙方共同面對的競爭對手蘇聯(lián)。如今我們享有積極的、建設(shè)性的、全面的關(guān)系，為我們在當(dāng)今時代的關(guān)鍵性全球問題上建立伙伴關(guān)系打開了大門，這些問題包括：經(jīng)濟(jì)復(fù)蘇和清潔能源開發(fā)、制止核武器擴散和氣候變化的影響、在亞洲及全球各地促進(jìn)和平與安全。所有這些問題都是我明天與胡主席會談的內(nèi)容。And in 1979, the connections among our people were , we see the curiosity of those pingpong players manifested in the ties that are being forged across many second highest number of foreign students in the United States e from China, and we39。ve seen a 50 percent increase in the study of Chinese among our own are nearly 200 “friendship cities” drawing our munities and Chinese scientists cooperate on

，我們兩國人民的聯(lián)系十分有限。今天，我們看到當(dāng)年乒乓球隊員的好奇心已經(jīng)化為許多領(lǐng)域的紐帶，中國留學(xué)生在美國的人數(shù)名列第二，而在美國學(xué)生中，學(xué)中文的人數(shù)增加了50%。我們兩國有近200個友好城市，把我們的社區(qū)連接在一起。美中科學(xué)家合作進(jìn)行新的研究與發(fā)現(xiàn)。而姚明是我們兩國人民都熱愛籃球的僅僅一個標(biāo)志而已——令我遺憾的是，此行中我不能觀看上海大鯊魚隊的比賽。It is no coincidence that the relationship between our countries has acpanied a period of positive has lifted hundreds of millions of people out of povertyan acplishment unparalleled in human historywhile playing a larger role in global the United States has seen our economy grow along with the standard of living enjoyed by our people, while bringing the Cold War to a successful ，這不是偶然的。中國實現(xiàn)了億萬人民脫貧，這一成就史無前例，同時，中國在全球問題中也在發(fā)揮更大的作用。美國在促使冷戰(zhàn)順利結(jié)束的同時，經(jīng)濟(jì)也取得了增長，人民的生活水平提高。There is a Chinese proverb: “Consider the past, and you shall know the future.” Surely, we have known setbacks and challenges over the last 30 relationship has not been without disagreement and the notion that we must be adversaries is not predestinednot when we consider the , because of our cooperation, both the United States and China are more prosperous and more have seen what is possible when we build upon our mutual interests, and engage on the basis of mutual

depends upon understandingon sustaining an open dialogue, and learning about one another and from one just as that American table tennis player pointed outwe share much in mon as human beings, but our countries are different in certain ，這種接觸的成功取決于理解，取決于繼續(xù)進(jìn)行開誠布公的對話，相互了解，相互學(xué)習(xí)。正如前面提到的那位美國乒乓球隊員所說——作為人，我們有著許多共同之處，但是我們兩國在某些方面存在著差別。I believe that each country must chart its own is an ancient nation, with a deeply rooted United States, by parison, is a young nation, whose culture is determined by the many different immigrants who have e to our shores, and by the founding documents that guide our documents put forward a simple vision of human affairs, and they enshrine several core principlesthat all men and women are created equal, and possess certain fundamental rights。that government should reflect the will of the people and respond to their wishes。that merce should be open, information freely accessible。and that laws, and not simply men, should guarantee the administration of 。中國是一個文明古國，文化深遠(yuǎn)。而美國相對而言是一個年輕的國家，它的文化由來自許多不同國家的移民以及指導(dǎo)我國民主制度的建國綱領(lǐng)所形成。這些綱領(lǐng)中提出了對人類事務(wù)的簡單明了的矚望，并包含了一些核心原則——不論男女人人生而平等，都享有某些基本權(quán)利；政府應(yīng)當(dāng)反映民意，并對人民的愿望作出回應(yīng)；商貿(mào)應(yīng)該是開放的，信息應(yīng)該自由流通；司法保障應(yīng)該來自法治而不是人治。Of
