VOA常速英语:Obama to Trump: US Leadership ‘Indispensable’(翻译)
美国总统贝拉克.奥巴马与21位参加亚太经济合作组织会议的国家和地区领导人举行了会面。奥巴马表达了他对国际贸易和跨太平洋伙伴关系协议(TPP)的支持,同时也坦言对此不再有决定权。在利马的最后一次记者会上奥巴马对新任总统提出了几点引人深思的建议,他表示,美国在维护世界秩序、确保世界和平与稳定方面,发挥着无可替代的作用。
“If we are not on the side of what’s right,if we are not making the argument and fighting for it even if sometimes we are not able to deliver a hundred percent everywhere,then it collapses.And there is nobody to fill the void.”
“如果我们不站在正确的一方,如果我们不为它做出努力和奋斗,尽管有时我们无法做到面面俱到,一切都会崩溃,没有谁可以填补这个空缺。”
Asked if he would refrain from criticizing Trump when he takes office,Obama said he planned to take his wife Michelle on vacation,and he would be respectful and give the new president space.But he said he might speak out if he believed core values were threatened.
在被问到特朗普上任后是否会克制自己不去批评他时,奥巴马回答说,他计划与夫人米歇尔外出度假,并会对新任总统表示尊重,留出空间。但奥巴马也表示,如果他信仰的核心价值受到威胁,他可能会站出来发声。
On Saturday,Obama got a rock star’s welcome from 1,000 young leaders from all over Latin America and the Caribbean at a university in Lima.He sought to reassure everyone in his young audience and asked them not to assume the worst of Trump.
周六,奥巴马到访利马(秘鲁首都)的一所大学时,受到1,000名拉美和加勒比青年领袖的热烈欢迎。他力图安抚每一位年轻人,让他们不要对特朗普做最坏的设想。
“Democracy means that sometimes you have to compromise,and it means that the outcomes of elections don’t always turn out the way you would hope.”
“民主意味着有时必须要妥协,意味着选举结果并不总是如你所愿。”
During his farewell overseas trip,Obama told travel guide book publisher Lonely Planet that the millions of miles he traveled during his eight years in office and the young people he met all over the world give him hope for the future.
在他任期最后一次出访期间,奥巴马对旅游指南出版商“孤独星球”说,他在担任总统8年期间旅行数百万英里,在世界各地看到的年轻人让他对未来抱有希望。
