U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and Director of Homeland Security John Kelly recently traveled to Mexico to discuss U.S.-Mexico relations.
美国国务卿雷克斯·蒂勒森和国土安全部长约翰·克里最近前往墨西哥商讨美墨关系。

"Although our two nations share a long history, our visit was forward-looking, focusing on common interests that would advance security and economic well-being," said Secretary Tillerson.
“虽然我们两国历史上纠葛很深，但此次访问是前瞻性的，着眼于推进安全和经济福祉的共同利益，”国务卿蒂勒森如是说道。

At times, he noted, "two strong sovereign countries. . .will have differences. We listened closely and carefully to each other as we respectfully and patiently raised our respective concerns."
当时他指出：“两个强大的主权国家会有一些分歧。我们密切、仔细地互相倾听，尊重、有耐心地提出我们各自关注的问题。”

The United States and Mexico reaffirmed their "close cooperation on economic and commercial issues such as energy, legal migration, security, education exchanges, and people-to-people ties," said Secretary Tillerson. But both sides also agreed that the United States and Mexico "should seize the opportunity to modernize and strengthen [the] trade and energy relationship."
美国和墨西哥重申了他们“在经济和商业问题方面的密切合作，例如能源、合法移民、安全、教育交流、以及人民之间的关系等，”国务卿蒂勒森如是说道。但是双方一致认为，美国和墨西哥“应该抓住机遇，使得两国的贸易和能源关系实现现代化、并得到加强。”

Secretary Tillerson said that both countries "reiterated [their] joint commitment to maintain law and order along our shared border by stopping potential terrorists, and dismantling the transnational criminal networks moving drugs and people into the United States. Similarly, we underscored the importance of stopping the illegal firearms and bulk cash that is originating in the United States and flowing into Mexico. There is no mistaking," said Secretary Tillerson, "that the rule of law matters along both sides of our shared border."
国务卿蒂勒森指出，两国“重申了他们的联合承诺，在我们的共同边界上维持法律和秩序，阻止潜在的恐怖分子、打击输送毒品和人员进入美国的跨国犯罪网络。同样，我们也强调了阻止非法枪支和大量现金从美国流入墨西哥的重要性。毫无疑问，”国务卿蒂勒森说道，“法治在美墨两国都很重要。”

The United States recognizes "existing U.S.-Mexican cooperation to curtail irregular migration, both by securing Mexico’s southern border and by supporting efforts of Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador – through the Alliance for Prosperity and working with organizations such as the Inter-American Development Bank – to reduce violence and stimulate economic opportunity in the region."
美国赞赏了“目前美墨两国减少非法移民的合作，通过确保墨西哥南部边境，以及危地马拉、洪都拉斯和萨尔瓦多等国的支持——通过繁荣联盟、以及和泛美开发银行等组织的合作——来减少暴力、并刺激该地区的经济机会。”

Finally, the United States and Mexico, said Secretary Tillerson, "universally agreed on the importance of strengthening existing institutional mechanisms.The meetings were the continuation of a purposeful and productive exchange that is setting our two countries down a pathway to greater security and long-term prosperity."
国务卿蒂勒森表示，最终美国和墨西哥“对加强现有体制机制的重要性普遍达成一致。这些会议是一个有目的和富有成效交流的继续，为我们两国走向更大安全和长期繁荣指出了道路。”
