In just two weeks, we’ll come together, as a nation, to mark the 10th anniversary of the September 11th attacks. We’ll remember the innocent lives we lost. We’ll stand with the families who loved them. We’ll honor the heroic first responders who rushed to the scene and saved so

many. And we’ll pay tribute to our troops and military families, and all those who have served over the past ten years, to keep us safe and strong.

We’ll also recall how the worst terrorist attack in American history brought out the best in the American people. How Americans lined up to give blood. How volunteers drove across the country to lend a hand. How schoolchildren donated their savings. How communities, faith groups and businesses collected food and clothing.

We were united, and the outpouring（流露） of generosity and compassion reminded us that in times of challenge, we Americans move forward together, as one people. This September 11th, Michelle and I will join the

commemorations at Ground Zero, in Shanksville, and at the Pentagon. But even if you can’t be in New York,

Pennsylvania or Virginia, every American can be part of this

anniversary. Once again, 9/11 will be a National Day of Service and Remembrance. And in the days and weeks ahead, folks across the country—in all 50 states—will come together, in their communities and neighborhoods, to honor the victims of 9/11 and to reaffirm the strength of our nation with acts of service and charity.

In Minneapolis, volunteers will help restore a community center. In Winston-Salem, North Carolina, they’ll hammer shingles and lay floors to give families a new home. In Tallahassee, Florida, they’ll assemble care packages for our troops overseas and their families here at home. In

Orange County, California, they’ll renovate homes for our veterans. And once again, Michelle and I look forward to joining a local service project as well.

There are so many ways to get involved, and every American can do something. To learn more about the opportunities where you live, just go online and visit

Serve.gov. Even the smallest act of service, the simplest act of kindness, is a way to honor those we lost; a way to reclaim that spirit of unity that followed 9/11.

On this 10th anniversary, we still face great challenges as a nation. We’re emerging from the worst economic crisis in our lifetimes. We’re taking the fight to al Qaeda, ending the war in Iraq and starting to bring our troops home from Afghanistan. And we’re working to rebuild the foundation of our national strength here at home.

None of this will be easy. And it can’t be the work of

government alone. As we saw after 9/11, the strength of America has always been the character and compassion of our people. So as we mark this solemn anniversary, let’s summon that spirit once more. And let’s show that the sense of common purpose that we need in America doesn’t have to be a fleeting（飞逝的） moment; it can be a lasting virtue—not just on one day, but e very day. 十年前，美国经历了历史上最黑暗的一天。双子塔楼坍塌了，五角大楼升起了黑烟，飞机在宾夕法尼亚州坠毁。亲朋好友们，兄弟姐妹们，父亲母亲们，孩子们，他们离开了我们，让我们承受着难以弥合的伤痛。在20xx年9月12日，我们醒来所面对的世界充满了罪恶和对未知未来的恐惧。

在此之后的十年里，美国人经历了许多变故。我们经历了战争和萧条，激烈的争辩和政治分歧。我们永远也不能唤回失去的生命，或是那些在此后战争中英勇捐躯的英烈。

但是，在今天，我们应该去纪念我们走过的路。我们国家的核心价值依然没有变。我们的信念——相信上帝和彼此的力量——并没有变。我们这个国家坚信，人人自律、人人平等、人人自由，这一信念经受了考验，现在更加坚不可摧。

过去的十年证明，美国并没有畏缩。搜救人员跑进了火场，消防警察冲锋陷阵，飞机乘客跟歹徒搏斗，这些勇士证明了美国人的勇敢。在之后的十年中，我们看到了美国英雄主义的另一种表现形式：云梯消防队依然有勇敢的队员在拯救人们生命，工商企业开始重建，灾难幸存者重新振作起来，遇难者家属开始了新的生活。

去年春天，我收到了一位叫Suzanne Swaine女士的来信。她在双子塔楼的灾难中失去了丈夫和兄弟，她说“那么多骄傲的瞬间从她的生命里被剥夺了，父亲原本可以看到孩子毕业、在曲棍球比赛中得分、在考试中获得好成绩。”这位女士还有两个在上大学的女儿，以及一个在念高中的孩子。她在信中写道：“十年来，我一个人养育我的女儿们。她们的坚强和勇敢让我骄傲无比。”这一家人的精神就是全部美国家庭的写照。这些女孩用充满希望的未来给了杀害她们父亲的凶手最有力的回击。

这整整十年证明了美国保护公民、维护美国生活方式的决心。外交官远离故土辛勤工作、情报人员默默无闻无私奉献。在9·11后，

二百万美国人参与了战争。他们证明，那些伤害了我们的人绝对无法逃脱正义的审判，不论他们藏身何处。事实上，那些保卫国家的人不是征召的士兵，而是自愿服役的公民——他们是毕业入伍的年轻人，国民警卫队士兵和后备役，工人和商业人士，移民和第四代士兵。他们放弃舒适的生活，甚至坚持超期服役。他们中的很多人从此再也没有回来。而即便是平安回来的人也从此留下了难以治愈的心灵创伤和战友逝去的记忆。

这些军人的奉献以及他们家庭承受的牺牲提醒我们，战争的代价是巨大的，虽然他们对国家的贡献是荣耀的，战争本身却永远不是光荣的。十年中，我们的军队被派到了美国人并不熟悉的地方——坎大哈和喀布尔，摩苏尔和巴士拉。我们的强大并不是用驻军数量来衡量的，而是体现在我们要把这些地方交还给自由人民和主权国家的决心上，以及我们要结束十年的战争迎接和平未来的心愿上。

这十年证明，我们坚定地捍卫我们的自由。是的，我们对那些潜在威胁更加警惕，而且在共同防御过程中我们也造成了一些不便。对于战争与和平、对于安保和民权的争论也一直在激烈地进行着。但是，恰恰由于这些讨论的存在，以及守卫美国价值观的决心，我们证明了我们的强大。同时，我们开放的市场仍然给予创新者革新的机会，我们的公民仍然可以自由地表达观点，我们的灵魂仍然在教堂、寺庙、（犹太）教会堂和清真寺中得到洗礼。

过去的十年让美国人团结得更加紧密。我们没有变得草木皆兵、互相猜疑。在9·11之后，乔治·W·布什总统清楚地说过，我们今

天再次重申：美国将永远不对***教或其他任何宗教开战。我们有来自全世界各地的移民。无论是在美国的大都市还是小城镇，在我们的学校还是工作场所，你都可以见到各个人种、各个宗教、各个种族的人，我们都忠于一个国家，我们都怀着同一个美国梦，我们都是一家人。

过去的十年体现了美国人的坚强。五角大楼被修复了，我们的工作人员为了共同的目标在为国家工作。93号航班上失与尚克斯维尔市的居民结成深厚友谊。纽约仍然焕发生机，是艺术、工业、时尚和贸易的中心。在世贸中心曾经矗立的地方，一座新的摩天大楼直耸云霄。我们的民众还在摩天大楼内工作。我们的体育场依然挤满了球迷，我们的公园仍然有孩子嬉闹的场景。我们的机场还是熙熙攘攘，我们的公交和地铁依然承载着百万乘客。美国家庭还会在周日晚上聚餐，学生们仍然照常上课。这片土地的脉搏像往常一样跳动，普通民众乐观地工作出行，军人为人类的自由不怕牺牲。

十年了，美国人再次回到这个地方纪念遇难的人群。人们的手指轻轻地划过纪念碑的大理石，寻找遇难家属的名字，想念他们曾经在世的样子。站在阿林顿市白色墓石前，或是全国各地的墓园和小城镇的广场上，我们会对那些在阿富汗战争和伊拉克战争中英勇捐躯的战士表示敬意。我们可以看到他们的名字被刻在大桥上、雕像上、公园内、学校里。

我们知道，没有任何事情可以击败真正的美国意志。我们将永远铭记，我们战胜了奴隶制、内战、灾荒、种族主义、经济萧条、城市

暴动、冷战，当然还有恐怖主义。我们将提醒自己，我们不是完美的，但是我们的民主是持久的，而这一民主——反映出了人性的瑕疵——给予了我们不断完善国家的机会。这就是我们在这几天的国家纪念日中所要突出纪念的，这些价值观念让我们的国家持续进步、让我们的民众团结一致。

除了纪念碑，我们还将有其他的9·11精神遗产，它们来自冲进火场的消防队员，来自自愿入伍的士兵，来自修建新楼的建筑工人，来自坚强勇敢的公民，来自继承父母遗志的孩子。我们会坚持这样的信念，承受沉痛的打击，但却变得更加强大。

“哭泣可能会持续一夜，但欢乐会在明早到来。”

公正的上帝是我们的指引，让我们纪念逝去的人们，让我们为美国理想奋斗，让我们充满希望面向未来。

愿上帝保佑我们逝去的亲人，愿上帝保佑美国。

奥巴马演讲-在911袭击10周年演讲稿

The Partnerships We Need

我们需要的伙伴关系

By President Barack Obama

作者：美国总统巴拉克·奥巴马

On this 10th anniversary of the terrorist attacks of September 11th, 2001, we remember that 9/11 was not only an attack on the United States, it was an attack on the world and on the humanity and hopes that we share.

值此20xx年9月11日恐怖主义袭击10周年之际，我们铭记不忘，9/11不仅是对美国发动的攻击，也是对全世界、全人类和我们的共同希望发动的攻击。

We remember that among the nearly 3,000 innocent people lost that day were hundreds of citizens from more than 90 nations. They were men and women, young and old, of many races and faiths. On this solemn anniversary we join with their families and nations in honoring their memory.

我们铭记不忘，那一天近3,000多名无辜的人民失去了生命，其中数百人是其他90多个国家的公民。他们当中有男有女，有老有少，来自许多种族，拥有不同的信仰。在这个庄严的纪念日到来之时，我们与遇难者的家人和国家一起对他们表示追思。

We remember with gratitude how ten years ago the world came together as one. Around the globe, entire cities came to a standstill for moments of silence. People offered their prayers in churches, mosques, synagogues and other places of worship. And those of us in the United States will never forget how people in every corner of the world stood with us in solidarity in candlelight vigils and among the seas of flowers placed at our embassies.

我们铭记不忘，10年前全世界戮力同心如一人，我们为此心怀感激。当时全球各地的城市全体默哀。人们在教堂、清真寺、犹太教堂等礼拜场所进行祈祷。在美国，我们永远不会忘记，全世界各个角落的人们与我们心心相印，相继举行烛光守夜活动，在我们各使馆门前形成一片花的海洋。

We remember that in the weeks after 9/11, we acted as an international community. As part of a broad coalition, we drove al Qaeda from its training camps in Afghanistan, toppled the Taliban, and gave the Afghan people a chance to live free from terror. However, the years that followed were difficult and the spirit of global partnership we felt after 9/11 frayed.

我们铭记不忘，9/11后几个星期，我们作为一个国际共同体采取了行动。作为广泛联盟的一部分，我们把“基地”组织（al Qaeda）赶出了阿富汗的训练营地，推翻了塔利班政权，使阿富汗人民获得摆脱恐怖威胁的机会。但是，接下来度过了几年的艰辛，我们在9/11之后感受到的全球合作精神出现了耗损。

As President, I’ve worked to renew the global cooperation we need to meet the full breadth of global challenges that we face. Through a new era of engagement, we’ve forged partnerships with nations and peoples based on mutual interest and mutual respect.

作为总统，我始终努力恢复我们需要的全球合作，迎接我们面临的一系列全球性挑战。在发展接触的新时代，我们已在共同利益和相互尊重的基础上与各国和各

地人民缔结了伙伴关系。

As an international community, we have shown that terrorists are no match for the strength and resilience of our citizens. I’ve made it clear that the United States is not and never will be at war with Islam. Rather, with allies and partners we are united against al Qaeda, which has attacked dozens of countries and killed tens of thousands of innocent men, women and children—the vast majority of them Muslims. This week, we remember all the victims of al Qaeda and the courage and resilience with which their families and fellow citizens have persevered, from the Middle East to Europe, from Africa to Asia.

作为国际共同体，我们已经表明，我们各国公民的力量和坚韧不拔的精神无敌于天下，恐怖主义分子永远无法与之匹敌。我已经明确说明，美国不会与伊斯兰作战，将来也永远不会与伊斯兰作战。我们联合盟友和伙伴共同打击“基地”组织。“基地”组织袭击了数十个国家，杀害了数万名无辜的男女老少，其中绝大多数是穆斯林。这个星期，从中东到欧洲，从非洲到亚洲，我们缅怀所有受"基地"组织所害的人，向他们的家人和同胞表现的大无畏精神和坚韧不拔的毅力表示敬意。 Working together, we have disrupted al Qaeda plots, eliminated Osama bin Laden and much of his leadership, and put al Qaeda on the path to defeat. Meanwhile, people across the Middle East and North Africa are showing that the surest path to justice and dignity is the moral force of nonviolence, not mindless terrorism and violence. It is clear that violent extremists are being left behind and that the future belongs to those who want to build, not destroy.

我们共同努力，粉碎了"基地"组织的阴谋，消灭了乌萨马·本·拉登（Osama bin Laden）及许多其他头目，把“基地”组织赶上了注定灭亡的道路。同时，中东和北非整个地区的人民表明，为了实现正义和尊严，最可靠的途径是动员非暴力的道德力量，而不是肆无忌惮的恐怖主义和暴力。毫无疑问，暴力极端主义分子正在被抛弃，未来属于致力于建设的人们，而不是从事破坏的人。

To nations and people seeking a future of peace and prosperity—you have a partner in the United States. For even as we confront economic challenges at home, the United States will continue to play a unique leadership role in the world. As we remove the rest of our troops from Iraq and transfer responsibility in Afghanistan, we will support Iraqis and Afghans in their efforts to deliver security and opportunity for their people. In the Arab world and beyond, we will stand up for the dignity and universal rights of all human beings.

希望寻求和平与繁荣的国家和人民——你们有美国作为你们的合作伙伴。即使我们在国内面临经济挑战，美国仍继续在全世界发挥独特的领导作用。我们在从伊拉克撤出其余的部队并在阿富汗移交我们的责任之时，我们将支持伊拉克和阿富汗为本国人民提供安全和机会的努力。在阿拉伯世界及其他地区，我们都将捍卫全人类的尊严和普遍权利。

Around the world, we will continue the hard work of pursuing peace, promoting the development that lifts people from poverty, and advancing the food security, health and good governance that unleashes the potential of citizens and societies.

在全世界各地，我们将继续我们的艰苦工作，为了争取和平；为了促进发展，帮助人民摆脱贫困；为了加强粮食保障、健康和良好治理，释放各地公民和社会的潜力。

At the same time, we have recommitted ourselves to living our values at home. As a nation of immigrants, the United States welcomes people from every country and culture. These newest Americans—like all the innocent victims we lost ten years ago—remind us that despite any differences of race or ethnicity, background or belief, we are all bound together by the common hope that we can make the world a better place for this and future generations. That must be the legacy of those we have lost. 同时，我们将再接再励，在国内坚持我们的价值观。作为一个移民国家，美国欢迎来自各个国家和拥有各种文化背景的人。这些崭新的美国人——正如10年前我们失去的所有的无辜受害者一样——让我们不要忘记，尽管我们的族裔、背景或信仰各不相同，我们都通过共同的希望紧密相连，为我们这一代人和未来的世世代代建设更美好的世界。这一定是我们失去的那些人的遗愿。

Those who attacked us on 9/11 wanted to drive a wedge between the United States and the world. They failed. On this 10th anniversary, we are united with our friends and partners in remembering all those we have lost in this struggle. In their memory, we reaffirm the spirit of partnership and mutual respect that we need to realize a world where all people live in dignity, freedom and peace.

那些在9/11袭击我们的人希望造成美国与全世界的分裂。他们没能得逞。在这一天10周年纪念日到来之际，我们与我们的朋友和伙伴团结一心，共同缅怀我们在这场斗争中失去的所有的人。为了纪念他们，我们重申坚持伙伴关系和相互尊重的精神。我们需要发扬这种精神，为全世界所有的人实现有尊严、自由与和平的生活。

奥巴马宣布本拉登死亡英文演讲稿全文

Good evening. Tonight, I can report to the American people and to the world that the United States has conducted an operation that killed Osama bin Laden, the leader of al Qaeda, and a terrorist who’s responsible for the murder of thousands of innocent men, women, and children.

晚上好。今天晚上，我终于能向美国人民和全世界宣布，美国指挥的一项行动已经将基地组织的头目奥萨马·本·拉登击毙，他要为成千上万美国无辜的男人女人和儿童的死亡负责。

It was nearly 10 years ago that a bright September day was darkened by the worst attack on the American people in our history. The images of 9/11 are seared into our national memory -- hijacked planes cutting through a cloudless September sky; the Twin Towers collapsing to the ground; black smoke billowing up from the Pentagon; the wreckage of Flight 93 in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, where the actions of heroic citizens saved even more heartbreak and destruction.

那个阳光明媚的九月被美国有史以来遭受的最惨重的恐怖袭击遮蔽，距今就要十年了。911事件的情景一直留在全国人民的记忆中——被劫持的飞机划过万里无云的九月晴空；双子塔轰然倒塌；五角大楼冒出浓浓黑烟；93航班上英勇的乘客们为了挽救更多无辜生命采取行动让飞机坠毁在宾夕法尼亚。

And yet we know that the worst images are those that were unseen to the world. The empty seat at the dinner table. Children who were forced to grow up without their mother or their father. Parents who would never know the feeling of their child’s embrace. Nearly 3,000 citizens taken from us, leaving a gaping hole in our hearts.

然而，我们知道，最惨痛的景象是那些无法展示在世人面前的。餐桌边空空的座位，孩子们不得不在没有父母的环境下成长。父母们再也感受不到孩子们的拥抱。我们的身边被夺走了将近3000个生命，在我们的心中留下沉痛的悲伤。

On September 11, 2001, in our time of grief, the American people came together. We offered our neighbors a hand, and we offered the wounded our blood. We reaffirmed our ties to each other, and our love of community and country. On that day, no matter where we came from, what God we prayed to, or what race or ethnicity we were, we were united as one American family.

20xx年9月11日，在我们悲伤的时刻，美国人民团结在一起了。我们向邻居们伸出援手，我们向伤者捐出献血，我们重新确认了彼此之间的羁绊以及我们对社区和国家的爱。在那一

天，不管我们来自何方、信仰什么宗教、属于什么种族，我们都被紧紧联系在了美国这个大家庭里。

We were also united in our resolve to protect our nation and to bring those who committed this vicious attack to justice. We quickly learned that the 9/11 attacks were carried out by al Qaeda -- an organization headed by Osama bin Laden, which had openly declared war on the United States and was committed to killing innocents in our country and around the globe. And so we went to war against al Qaeda to protect our citizens, our friends, and our allies.

在保护我们的国家，给那些应该对这起恶性攻击负责的人以正义制裁的决心面前，我们也万众一心。很快我们就意识到911恐怖袭击是由基地组织策划的，这个组织的头目就是奥萨马·本·拉登，他曾经公开对美国宣战，在我们的国家和全世界都犯下了杀害无辜生命的罪行。于是，我们对基地组织开战，以保护我们的人民、我们的朋友和我们的盟友们。

Over the last 10 years, thanks to the tireless and heroic work of our military and our counterterrorism professionals, we’ve made great strides in that effort. We’ve disrupted terrorist attacks and strengthened our homeland defense. In Afghanistan, we removed the Taliban government, which had given bin Laden and al Qaeda safe haven and support. And around the globe, we worked with our friends and allies to capture or kill scores of al Qaeda terrorists, including several who were a part of the 9/11 plot.

过去的十年里，在我们的军人和反恐专家们不懈而英勇的努力下，我们取得了巨大的成效。我们粉碎了恐怖袭击、加强了我们的国土安全。在阿富汗，我们击退了为基地组织提供安全避难和支持的塔利班政府。在全球，我们和朋友及盟友一起或抓住或击毙了数十名基地恐怖分子，其中包括一些911事件的始作俑者。

Yet Osama bin Laden avoided capture and escaped across the Afghan border into Pakistan. Meanwhile, al Qaeda continued to operate from along that border and operate through its affiliates across the world.

然而奥萨马·本·拉登逃避了抓捕并在阿富汗和巴基斯坦边境逃窜。同时，基地组织也继续通过这条边境线以及世界的分支组织运行着。

And so shortly after taking office, I directed Leon Panetta, the director of the CIA, to make the killing or capture of bin Laden the top priority of our war against al Qaeda, even as we continued our broader efforts to disrupt, dismantle, and defeat his network.

所以，在上任之后，我命令中情局局长里昂·帕内塔把击毙或活捉本拉登当作我们和基地作战的头等大事，我们也仍在加强力量来瓦解、拆分和击溃他的联系网。

Then, last August, after years of painstaking work by our intelligence community, I was briefed on a possible lead to bin Laden. It was far from certain, and it took many months to run this thread to ground. I met repeatedly with my national security team as we

developed more information about the possibility that we had located bin Laden hiding within a compound deep inside of Pakistan. And finally, last week, I determined that we had enough intelligence to take action, and authorized an operation to get Osama bin Laden and bring him to justice.

然后，去年八月，在情报机构数年的辛勤工作之后，我得到本拉登的一份简报。那时还不能确认，我们花费了几个月的时间来确认这条线索，我和咱们国家安全小组的成员们不断的会面，我们得到了更多可能性的信息，把本拉登的藏身地锁定在了巴基斯坦很隐蔽的一个院子里。终于在上周，我决定我们已经有了足够的情报来采取行动，授权打击奥萨马·本·拉登，让他得到正义的制裁。

Today, at my direction, the United States launched a targeted operation against that compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan. A small team of Americans carried out the operation with extraordinary courage and capability. No Americans were harmed. They took care to avoid civilian casualties. After a firefight, they killed Osama bin Laden and took custody of his body.

今天，在我的指挥下，美国发动了一项对巴基斯坦阿伯塔巴德的针对性打击。一小队美国人在超凡的勇气和能力下执行了这个任务，没有美国人受伤。他们很小心的避免了平民的伤亡。在一次交火后，他们击毙了奥萨马·本·拉登，将他绳之以法。

For over two decades, bin Laden has been al Qaeda’s leader and symbol, and has

continued to plot attacks against our country and our friends and allies. The death of bin Laden marks the most significant achievement to date in our nation’s effort to defeat al Qaeda.

在过去的二十年里，本拉登作为基地组织的头目和象征，一直在策划对我们的国家、我们的朋友和盟友们进行袭击。本拉登的死标志着我们国家在和基地组织的战斗中取得了重大的成就。

Yet his death does not mark the end of our effort. There’s no doubt that al Qaeda will continue to pursue attacks against us. We must –- and we will -- remain vigilant at home and abroad.

然而，他的死并不意味着我们战斗的终止。基地组织无疑会继续寻求对我们的攻击。我们必须——也必将——在国内和国外保持高度警惕。

As we do, we must also reaffirm that the United States is not –- and never will be -– at war with Islam. I’ve made clear, just as President Bush did shortly after 9/11, that our war is not against Islam. Bin Laden was not a Muslim leader; he was a mass murderer of Muslims. Indeed, al Qaeda has slaughtered scores of Muslims in many countries, including our own. So his demise should be welcomed by all who believe in peace and human dignity.

同时，我们也必须重申，美国没有也永远不会向伊斯兰世界开展。我要清楚的表明，正如小布什总统在911不久后所说，我们的战争并不针对伊斯兰世界，本拉登也不是一个穆斯林领袖，他是杀害穆斯林教徒的凶手。基地组织在很多国家，包括我们自己的国家内确实屠杀了很多穆斯林教徒。所以，他的死亡应该受到所有相信世界和平维护人的尊严的人们的欢迎。

Over the years, I’ve repeatedly made clear that we would take action within Pakistan if we knew where bin Laden was. That is what we’ve done. But it’s important to note that our counterterrorism cooperation with Pakistan helped lead us to bin Laden and the compound where he was hiding. Indeed, bin Laden had declared war against Pakistan as well, and ordered attacks against the Pakistani people.

在过去数年，我也一直重申一旦我们确认拉登所在，我们可能在巴基斯坦境内采取行动，我们也是这么做的。但要特别拿出来说的一点是我们的反恐是在巴基斯坦的协作下找到本拉登和他的藏身之所的。本拉登也曾经对巴基斯坦宣战，也曾下命令攻击巴基斯坦人民。

Tonight, I called President Zardari, and my team has also spoken with their Pakistani

counterparts. They agree that this is a good and historic day for both of our nations. And going forward, it is essential that Pakistan continue to join us in the fight against al Qaeda and its affiliates.

今晚，我给巴基斯坦总统扎尔达里打了电话，我的小队也和巴基斯坦相关人士通了话。今天对我们两国来说都是具有历史意义的好日子，在这一点上大家都达成了共识。

The American people did not choose this fight. It came to our shores, and started with the senseless slaughter of our citizens. After nearly 10 years of service, struggle, and sacrifice, we know well the costs of war. These efforts weigh on me every time I, as

Commander-in-Chief, have to sign a letter to a family that has lost a loved one, or look into the eyes of a service member who’s been gravely wounded.

美国人民没有选择战争，战争来到了我们的海岸，对我们的人民进行无意义的屠杀。经过近十年的服役、战争和牺牲，我们太知道战争的代价了。每当我作为三军统帅，必须要给那些失去了心爱之人以及那些遭受重大创伤的服役人员的家人写信的时候，种种艰难时时刻刻都压在我的心头。

So Americans understand the costs of war. Yet as a country, we will never tolerate our security being threatened, nor stand idly by when our people have been killed. We will be relentless in defense of our citizens and our friends and allies. We will be true to the values that make us who we are. And on nights like this one, we can say to those families who have lost loved ones to al Qaeda’s terror: Justice has been done.

美国人民知道战争的代价。然而作为一个国家，我们永远都不能忍受国家安全受到威胁，或者在人民被杀的时候袖手旁观。我们会一直保护我们的居民、我们的朋友和盟友。我们会真实的面对这些代价。然后像今天这个夜晚，我们终于能对那些被基地组织夺去家人生命的家庭说：正义得到了伸张。

Tonight, we give thanks to the countless intelligence and counterterrorism professionals who’ve worked tirelessly to achieve this outcome. The American people do not see their work, nor know their names. But tonight, they feel the satisfaction of their work and the result of their pursuit of justice.

今晚，我要感谢数不清的情报人员和反恐专家们，正是你们不知疲倦的努力才有了这项成就。美国人民看不到他们的工作，也不知道他们的名字，但是今晚，他们会对自己的工作感到满足，他们对正义的追求得到了收获。

We give thanks for the men who carried out this operation, for they exemplify the

professionalism, patriotism, and unparalleled courage of those who serve our country. And they are part of a generation that has borne the heaviest share of the burden since that September day.

我们感谢那些执行这项行动的人，这是他们服务国家的职业化、爱国主义和无可匹敌的勇气的明证。自从九月那天起，他们就成了背负最沉重负担的一代人。

Finally, let me say to the families who lost loved ones on 9/11 that we have never forgotten your loss, nor wavered in our commitment to see that we do whatever it takes to prevent another attack on our shores.

最后，让我对那些在911事件中失去家人的家庭们说，我们永远不会忘记你们的损失，我们会采取任何措施来防止对我们国土的另一次袭击，这个承诺我们也永远不会动摇。

And tonight, let us think back to the sense of unity that prevailed on 9/11. I know that it has, at times, frayed. Yet today’s achievement is a testament to the greatness of our country and the determination of the American people.

今晚，让我们回顾一下911那天我们的团结一心，我知道随着时间的流逝这种感觉已经渐渐淡去，但是今天的成就见证了我们国家的伟大和人民的坚不可摧。

The cause of securing our country is not complete. But tonight, we are once again

reminded that America can do whatever we set our mind to. That is the story of our history, whether it’s the pursuit of prosperity for our people, or the struggle for equality for all our citizens; our commitment to stand up for our values abroad, and our sacrifices to make the world a safer place.

我们保护国家的任务还没有完成，但是今晚，我们再次相信，美国人民可以完成任何我们下定决心完成的事情。这就是我们的历史：不管是对人民繁荣的追求、或是对人人平等的奋斗，我们传播我们的价值观的承诺以及我们为维护世界和平所作出的牺牲。

Let us remember that we can do these things not just because of wealth or power, but because of who we are: one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. 让我们铭记，我们做这件事并不因为我们的财富或力量，而是因为我们自身：我们是在上帝之下，所有人都拥有自由和正义的不可分割的一个国家。

Thank you. May God bless you. And may God bless the United States of America. 谢谢大家，愿上帝保佑你们，上帝保佑美国。

南都讯 美国总统贝拉克·奥巴马11日在五角大楼出席“9·11”九周年纪念活动时表示，伊斯兰不是美国的敌人。

当天，美国各地举行仪式悼念在9年前系列劫机、撞机事件中遇难的近3000名无辜逝者。但今年的纪念日由于两起事件变得空前政治化———一方面美国国内为在世贸中心遗址附近建清真寺的计划争执不下，另一方面美国佛罗里达州牧师焚烧《古兰经》的计划引发全球性的抗议浪潮。

对此，奥巴马在五角大楼发表讲话表示，“作为美国人，我们没有也绝不会与伊斯兰开战。在那一个9月的日子里，袭击我们的并不是一个宗教，而是‘基地’组织。”

“今天我们再次宣告，我们永远不会将胜利拱手相让??因为我们的事业是正义的，我们的精神是强大的，我们的决心是不可动摇的。”奥巴马说道。

奥巴马希望使美国人警醒，勿为仇恨与偏见摆布。他表示，“他们(恐怖分子)想剥夺我们的自由，但我们不会牺牲我们珍视的自由，也不会屈膝于猜忌的高墙之后。他们想让我们产生0，但我们不会屈从于他们的仇恨与偏见。

团结排第一

美国总统奥巴马11日出席在五角大楼前举行的“9·11”恐怖袭击9周年纪念活动。

“这是纪念的一天，反省的一天，也是团结起来重新开始的一天。”奥巴马在发言中说。

纽约世贸中心遗址附近拟建清真寺引发的纷争和佛罗里达州基督教牧师琼斯声称要焚烧《古兰经》，令今年的“9·11”纪念活动蒙上宗教色彩和政治阴影。

奥巴马提及这两起争议事件时，呼吁民众保持宗教宽容，强调美国的反恐战争不是针对伊斯兰世界，而是针对那些歪曲利用宗教、危害社会的极端分子。 “‘9·11’时对我们发动袭击的不是一个宗教，而是‘基地’组织。我们不是反穆斯林，将来也不会。我们打仗，只是针对‘基地’组织。‘基地’与穆斯林是两个完全不同的概念。”奥巴马说。

奥巴马着重强调了“团结与重生”。他说，他最需要的是美国人民的团结与各种族之间的融洽，这也是让美国重新焕发青春的基石。

问题未解决

然而，问题仍没有解决，难保美国会不会再出一个琼斯。

在世贸遗址附近拟建清真寺的方案尽管已经通过，但70%美国老百姓表示反对。《今日美国》文章认为，这把美国基督教与伊斯兰教的“宗教不和”推到了一个新高度。

作为美国历史上第一个非洲裔总统，作为美国历史上第一个父亲是穆斯林的总统，奥马巴从一开始就强调，不反对把清真寺造在世贸遗址附近。

然而，正因为他的背景，以及中期选举前夕对手可能有意制造的麻烦，奥马巴的表态让美国人感到失望，甚至愤怒。

9年，对一场战争来说，是漫长的煎熬，但对一段痛苦的记忆来说，却仿佛就在昨天。这是绝大多数美国人无法接受清真寺建在他们伤口上的主要原因。 到底要什么

无论是支持在世贸遗址附近建清真寺还是支持焚烧古兰经的人，搬出的都是美国宪法第一修正案。这一确保宗教信仰、言论与出版自由的修正案是美国人一直引以为自豪甚至标榜的资本，他们认为这是美国人最基本的权利。

再加上美国本来就住着一些穆斯林，所以各种各样的激烈争论也就在所难免，而且还将继续下去。“9·11”纪念日只是给了他们又一次机会或借口，发泄一下而已。

难怪有网友在微博上问：他们到底要什么？

是呀，现在的美国人到底要什么？在“9·11”纪念日这一天，这样的思考似乎是有必要的

奥巴马的演讲全文摘录如下：

The Bible tells us -- "weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning."

圣经告诉我们“哭泣可能会持续一夜，但欢乐会在明早到来。”

Ten years ago, America confronted one of our darkest nights. Mighty towers crumbled. Black smoke billowed up from the Pentagon. Airplane wreckage

smoldered on a Pennsylvania field. Friends and neighbors, sisters and brothers, mothers and fathers, sons and daughters -- they were taken from us with a

heartbreaking swiftness and cruelty. And on September 12, 2001, we awoke to a world in which evil was closer at hand, and uncertainty clouded our future.

十年前，美国经历了历史上最黑暗的一天。双子塔楼坍塌了，五角大楼升起了黑烟，飞机在宾夕法尼亚州坠毁。亲朋好友们，兄弟姐妹们，父亲母亲们，孩子们，他们离开了我们，让我们承受着难以弥合的伤痛。在20xx年9月12日，我们醒来所面对的世界充满了罪恶和对未知未来的恐惧。

In the decade since, much has changed for Americans. We've known war and recession, passionate debates and political divides. We can never get back the lives that were lost on that day or the Americans who made the ultimate sacrifice in the wars that followed.

在此之后的十年里，美国人经历了许多变故。我们经历了战争和萧条，激烈的争辩和政治分歧。我们永远也不能唤回失去的生命，或是那些在此后战争中英勇捐躯的英烈。

And yet today, it is worth remembering what has not changed. Our character as a nation has not changed. Our faith -- in God and in each other -- that has not changed. Our belief in America, born of a timeless ideal that men and women should govern themselves; that all people are created equal, and deserve the

same freedom to determine their own destiny -- that belief, through tests and trials, has only been strengthened.

但是，在今天，我们应该去纪念我们走过的路。我们国家的核心价值依然没有变。我们的信念——相信上帝和彼此的力量——并没有变。我们这个国家坚信，人人自律、人人平等、人人自由，这一信念经受了考验，现在更加坚不可摧。

These past 10 years have shown that America does not give in to fear. The rescue workers who rushed to the scene, the firefighters who charged up the stairs, the passengers who stormed the cockpit -- these patriots defined the very nature of courage. Over the years we've also seen a more quiet form of heroism -- in the

ladder company that lost so many men and still suits up and saves lives every day, the businesses that have been rebuilt from nothing, the burn victim who has bounced back, the families who press on.

过去的十年证明，美国并没有畏缩。搜救人员跑进了火场，消防警察冲锋陷阵，飞机乘客跟歹徒搏斗，这些勇士证明了美国人的勇敢。在之后的十年中，我们看到了美国英雄主义的另一种表现形式：云梯消防队依然有勇敢的队员在拯救人们生命，工商企业开始重建，灾难幸存者重新振作起来，遇难者家属开始了新的生活。 Last spring, I received a letter from a woman named Suzanne Swaine. She had lost her husband and brother in the Twin Towers, and said that she had been

robbed of, "so many would-be proud moments where a father watches their child graduate, or tend a goal in a lacrosse game, or succeed academically." But her daughters are in college, the other doing well in high school. "It has been 10 years of raising these girls on my own," Suzanne wrote. "I could not be prouder of their strength and resilience." That spirit typifies our American family. And the hopeful

future for those girls is the ultimate rebuke to the hateful killers who took the life of their father.

去年春天，我收到了一位叫Suzanne Swaine女士的来信。她在双子塔楼的灾难中失去了丈夫和兄弟，她说“那么多骄傲的瞬间从她的生命里被剥夺了，父亲原本可以看到孩子毕业、在曲棍球比赛中得分、在考试中获得好成绩。”这位女士还有两个在上大学的女儿，以及一个在念高中的孩子。她在信中写道：“十年来，我一个人养育我的女儿们。她们的坚强和勇敢让我骄傲无比。”这一家人的精神就是全部美国家庭的写照。这些女孩用充满希望的未来给了杀害她们父亲的凶手最有力的回击。

These past 10 years have shown America's resolve to defend its citizens, and our way of life. Diplomats serve in far off posts, and intelligence professionals work tirelessly without recognition. Two million Americans have gone to war since 9/11. They have demonstrated that those who do us harm cannot hide from the reach of justice, anywhere in the world. America has been defended not by conscripts, but by citizens who choose to serve -- young people who signed up straight out of

high school, guardsmen and reservists, workers and business-people, immigrants and fourth-generation soldiers. They are men and women who left behind lives of comfort for two, three, four, five tours of duty. Too many will never come home. Those that do carry dark memories from distant places and the legacy of fallen friends.

这整整十年证明了美国保护公民、维护美国生活方式的决心。外交官远离故土辛勤工作、情报人员默默无闻无私奉献。在9·11后，二百万美国人参与了战争。他们证明，那些伤害了我们的人绝对无法逃脱正义的审判，不论他们藏身何处。事实上，那些保卫国家的人不是征召的士兵，而是自愿服役的公民——他们是毕业入伍的年轻人，国民警卫队士兵和后备役，工人和商业人士，移民和第四代士兵。他们放弃舒适的生活，甚至坚持超期服役。他们中的很多人从此再也没有回来。而即便是平安回来的人也从此留下了难以治愈的心灵创伤和战友逝去的记忆

The sacrifices of these men and women, and of our military families, reminds us that the wages of war are great; that while service to our nation is full of glory, war itself is never glorious. Our troops have been to lands unknown to many

Americans a decade ago -- to Kandahar and Kabul; to Mosul and Basra. But our strength is not measured in our ability to stay in these places; it comes from our commitment to leave those lands to free people and sovereign states, and our desire to move from a decade of war to a future of peace.

这些军人的奉献以及他们家庭承受的牺牲提醒我们，战争的代价是巨大的，虽然他们对国家的贡献是荣耀的，战争本身却永远不是光荣的。十年中，我们的军队被派到了美国人并不熟悉的地方——坎大哈和喀布尔，摩苏尔和巴士拉。我们的强大并不是用驻军数量来衡量的，而是体现在我们要把这些地方交还给自由人民和主权国家的决心上，以及我们要结束十年的战争迎接和平未来的心愿上。

These 10 years have shown that we hold fast to our freedoms. Yes, we're more vigilant against those who threaten us, and there are inconveniences that come with our common defense. Debates -- about war and peace, about security and civil liberties -- have often been fierce these last 10 years. But it is precisely the rigor of these debates, and our ability to resolve them in a way that honors our values and our democracy, that is the measure of our strength. Meanwhile, our open markets still provide innovators the chance to create and succeed, our

citizens are still free to speak their minds, and our souls are enriched in churches and temples, our synagogues and our mosques.

这十年证明，我们坚定地捍卫我们的自由。是的，我们对那些潜在威胁更加警惕，而且在共同防御过程中我们也造成了一些不便。对于战争与和平、对于安保和民权的争论也一直在激烈地进行着。但是，恰恰由于这些讨论的存在，以及守卫美国价值观的决心，我们证明了我们的强大。同时，我们开放的市场仍然给予创新者革新的机会，我们的公民仍然可以自由地表达观点，我们的灵魂仍然在教堂、寺庙、（犹太）教会堂和清真寺中得到洗礼。

These past 10 years underscores the bonds between all Americans. We have not succumbed to suspicion, nor have we succumbed to mistrust. After 9/11, to his great credit, President Bush made clear what we reaffirm today: The United

States will never wage war against Islam or any other religion. Immigrants come here from all parts of the globe. And in the biggest cities and the smallest towns, in schools and workplaces, you still see people of every conceivable race and religion and ethnicity -- all of them pledging allegiance to the flag, all of them reaching for the same American dream -- e pluribus unum, out of many, we are one.

过去的十年让美国人团结得更加紧密。我们没有变得草木皆兵、互相猜疑。在9·11之后，乔治·W·布什总统清楚地说过，我们今天再次重申：美国将永远不对伊斯兰教或其他任何宗教开战。我们有来自全世界各地的移民。无论是在美国的大都市还是小城镇，在我们的学校还是工作场所，你都可以见到各个人种、各个宗教、各个种族的人，我们都忠于一个国家，我们都怀着同一个美国梦，我们都是一家人。 These past 10 years tell a story of our resilience. The Pentagon is repaired, and filled with patriots working in common purpose. Shanksville is the scene of friendships forged between residents of that town, and families who lost loved

ones there. New York -- New York remains the most vibrant of capitals of arts and industry and fashion and commerce. Where the World Trade Center once stood, the sun glistens off a new tower that reaches towards the sky.

过去的十年体现了美国人的坚强。五角大楼被修复了，我们的工作人员为了共同的目标在为国家工作。痛失亲人的家属与尚克斯维尔市（93号航班坠毁地）的居民结成深厚友谊。纽约仍然焕发生机，是艺术、工业、时尚和贸易的中心。在世贸中心曾经矗立的地方，一座新的摩天大楼直耸云霄。

Our people still work in skyscrapers. Our stadiums are still filled with fans, and our parks full of children playing ball. Our airports hum with travel, and our buses and subways take millions where they need to go. And families sit down to Sunday dinner, and students prepare for school. This land pulses with the optimism of

those who set out for distant shores, and the courage of those who died for human freedom.

我们的民众还在摩天大楼内工作。我们的体育场依然挤满了球迷，我们的公园仍然有孩子嬉闹的场景。我们的机场还是熙熙攘攘，我们的公交和地铁依然承载着百万乘客。美国家庭还会在周日晚上聚餐，学生们仍然照常上课。这片土地的脉搏像往常一样跳动，普通民众乐观地工作出行，军人为人类的自由不怕牺牲。

Decades from now, Americans will visit the memorials to those who were lost on 9/11. They'll run their fingers over the places where the names of those we loved are carved into marble and stone, and they may wonder at the lives that they led. And standing before the white headstones in Arlington, and in peaceful

cemeteries and small-town squares in every corner of the country, they will pay respects to those lost in Iraq and Afghanistan. They'll see the names of the fallen on bridges and statues, at gardens and schools.

十年了，美国人再次回到这个地方纪念遇难的人群。人们的手指轻轻地划过纪念碑的大理石，寻找遇难家属的名字，想念他们曾经在世的样子。站在阿林顿市白色墓石前，或是全国各地的墓园和小城镇的广场上，我们会对那些在阿富汗战争和伊拉克战争中英勇捐躯的战士表示敬意。我们可以看到他们的名字被刻在大桥上、雕像上、公园内、学校里。

And they will know that nothing can break the will of a truly United States of

America. They will remember that we've overcome slavery and Civil War; we've overcome bread lines and fascism and recession and riots, and communism and, yes, terrorism. They will be reminded that we are not perfect, but our democracy is durable, and that democracy -- reflecting, as it does, the imperfections of man -- also give us the opportunity to perfect our union. That is what we honor on days of national commemoration -- those aspects of the American experience that are enduring, and the determination to move forward as one people.

我们知道，没有任何事情可以击败真正的美国意志。我们将永远铭记，我们战胜了奴隶制、内战、灾荒、种族主义、经济萧条、城市暴动、冷战，当然还有恐怖主义。我们将提醒自己，我们不是完美的，但是我们的民主是持久的，而这一民主——反映出了人性的瑕疵——给予了我们不断完善国家的机会。这就是我们在这几天的国家纪念日中所要突出纪念的，这些价值观念让我们的国家持续进步、让我们的民众团结一致。

More than monuments, that will be the legacy of 9/11 -- a legacy of firefighters who walked into fire and soldiers who signed up to serve; of workers who raised new towers, and citizens who faced down their private fears. Most of all, of

children who realized the dreams of their parents. It will be said that we kept the faith; that we took a painful blow, and we emerged stronger than before.

除了纪念碑，我们还将有其他的9·11精神遗产，它们来自冲进火场的消防队员，来自自愿入伍的士兵，来自修建新楼的建筑工人，来自坚强勇敢的公民，来自继承父母遗志的孩子。我们会坚持这样的信念，承受沉痛的打击，但却变得更加强大。 "Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning."

“哭泣可能会持续一夜，但欢乐会在明早到来。”

With a just God as our guide, let us honor those who have been lost, let us rededicate ourselves to the ideals that define our nation, and let us look to the future with hearts full of hope.

公正的上帝是我们的指引，让我们纪念逝去的人们，让我们为美国理想奋斗，让我们充满希望面向未来。

May God bless the memory of those we lost, and may God bless the United States of America.

愿上帝保佑我们逝去的亲人，愿上帝保佑美国。
