VOA常速英语:Kerry at Global Entrepreneurship Summit(翻译)

The United States strongly supports entrepreneurship at home and abroad as a means to create not only prosperity but peace and stability.
美国强烈支持国内外创业，创业不仅能创造繁荣，也是维护和平与稳定的重要方式。

Speaking at the Global Entrepreneurship Summit, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said:“Economic policy is foreign policy and foreign policy is economic policy, particularly in the globalized world we’re living in today.”
美国国务卿约翰·克里在全球创业峰会上发言：“经济政策是外交政策，外交政策也是经济政策，在全球化的今天更是如此。”

Secretary Kerry encouraged young people in particular to create new businesses, even if they started small.He urged young business owners to not only create new products and turn a profit but as innovators and entrepreneurs with a stake in society to also take on some of the societal challenges facing many countries.
国务卿克里尤其鼓励年轻人创业，即使他们开始的规模很小。他敦促年轻的创业者不仅通过开发新产品盈利，也能作为创新者和实业家为解决众多国家共同面临的诸多挑战而贡献自己的力量。

One of those challenges is violent extremism and the emergence of radical non-state actors who are out to exploit frustrations faced by many young people around the world.Indeed, in the Middle East, Africa, South-Central and East Asia, 60 to 65 percent of the populations are under the age of 30. These young people, said Secretary Kerry,need education and opportunity as soon as possible to keep them from being lured away by extremists ideologies. Successful new businesses provide inspiration to those who see no potential for improving their own circumstances.
其中一个挑战是暴力极端主义与激进的非国家行为者的出现，他们设法利用世界各地年轻人所面临的挫折。的确，在中东、非洲、中南亚和东亚等地区，30岁以下的人口占总人口的60%到65%。国务卿克里表示，这些年轻人需要尽快接受教育和相关机会，以防被极端主义意识形态所诱惑。成功的新企业可以激励那些看不到希望来改善生活状况的人们。

Speaking to young entrepreneurs, Secretary Kerry said,“You also provide a highly visible and very effective rebuttal to the propaganda of violent extremist groups. Because your optimism provides an alternative to their nihilism. Because you’re trying to build the brighter future that in fact these folks are determined to prevent. Because you are living a narrative of modern civilization and progress that is diametrically opposed to the dark worldview of Daesh.”
谈到年轻的企业家时，国务卿克里表示：面对暴力极端主义组织的宣传，你们予以了非常显著而有效的回击。因为你们的乐观取代了他们的虚无主义。因为事实上你们努力开创的、更加美好的未来正是他们所竭力阻止的。因为你们生活在现代文明之中，你们所取得的进步与达伊沙恐怖组织黑暗的世界观截然相反。”

Another challenge for young entrepreneurs to take on is corruption.Anyone in local or international business confronts this issue every day in a variety of ways. For entrepreneurs poor governance can mean the difference between being able to start up and survive or never getting started at all. And there are countless ways that new entrepreneurs can help hold governments accountable.As Secretary Kerry emphasized, “You want to be able to open your enterprises without having to pay a bribe or be dependent on making friends in high places.”
年轻企业家所面临的另一个挑战是腐败。本地企业和国际企业的每个人每天都面临着各种腐败问题。对企业家来说，治理不善意味着企业的不同命运：得以创办并生存下来，或者根本不会开始。新企业家们可以通过众多方式对政府进行问责。国务卿克里强调：“你们不想依靠行贿和攀交权贵而创办自己的企业。”

Being a global entrepreneur is about understanding and then using one’s power to change the world.It’s about leading the world toward a future of prosperity, peace and progress.
全球企业家懂得利用自己的力量改变世界，全球企业家要领导世界迈向繁荣、和平、进步的未来。
