Ten years ago, America confronted one of our darkest nights. Mighty towers crumbl ed. Black smoke billowed up from the Pentagon. Airplane wreckage smol d ered on a Pennsylvania field. Friends and neighbors; sisters and brothers; mothers and fathers; sons and daughters - they were taken from us with heartbreaking swiftness and cruelty. On September 12, 2001, we awoke to a worl d in which evil was cl oser at hand, and uncertainty cl oud ed our future.十年前,美国经历了最黑暗的一个夜晚。

奥巴演讲附 The Olympic SpiritRemarks of President Barack Obama As Prepared for Delivery Weekly Address February 27, 2010As the Winter Olympics draw to a close this weekend, I just want to take a minute to congratulate all the athletes who competed in these games. And I especially want to say how proud I am of all the American men and women have achieved over the last few weeks.Whether it was the men’s hockey(冰球,曲棍球)team’s stunning 1 (极好的,令人晕倒的) upset of the Canadians on their way to the gold-medal game, Lindsey Vonn’s heroic gold-medal comeback from a shin(胫骨)injury, or Apolo Ohno becoming the most decoratedA merican winter Olympian of all time, you can’t help but be inspired by the sheer grit 2 (粗砂,砂砾) and athletic 3 prowess(超凡技术,勇猛) on display in Vancouver.And it’s not just the medal count that’s inspiring – though we’ve certainly done great on that score. What’s truly inspiring is the character of the men and women who have won those medals. The sacrifices they’ve made. The integrity(正直,诚实)they’ve shown. The indomitable(不服输的,不气馁的) Olympic spirit that says no matter who you are or where you come from or what difficulties you may face, you can work hard and train hard and still triumph in the end. That is why we watch. That is why we cheer. That is why in the middle of an extremely challenging time for America, we’ve been able to come toget her as one nation for a few weeks in February and swell 4 with(膨胀,充满)pride at what our citizens have achieved.Now, when it comes to meeting the larger challenges we face as a nation, I realize that finding this unity 5 is easier said than done – especially in Washington. But if we want to compete on the world stage as well as we’ve competed in the world’s games, we need to find common ground. We need to move past the bickering 6 and the game-playing that holds us back and blocks progress for the American people.We know it’s possible to do this. And we were reminded of that last week when Democrats 7 and Republicans in the Senate came together to pass a jobs bill that will give small businesses tax credits(税收抵免) to hire more workers. We also saw it when Democrats and Republicans in the House came together to pass a bill that will force insurance companies to abide 8 by common-sense rules that preventprice-fixing and other practices that drive up health care costs.We need that same spirit of cooperation and bipartisanship (两党合作) when it comes to finally passing reform that will bring down the cost of health care and give Americans more control over their insurance. On Thursday, we brought both parties together for a frank and productive discussion about this issue. In that discussion, we heard many areas of agreement. Both sides agreed that the rising cost of health care is a serious problem that plagues(折磨,苦恼)families, small businesses, and our federal budget. Many on both sides agreed that we should give small businesses and individuals the ability to participate in a new insurance marketplace – which members of Congress would also use –that would allow them to pool their purchasing power and get a better deal from insurance companies. And I heard some ideas from our Republican friends that I believe are very worthy 9 of consideration.But still, there were differences. We disagreed over whether insurance companies should be held accountable when they deny people care or arbitrarily(武断地,专横地) raise premiums 10 . I believe they should. We disagreed over giving tax credits to small businesses and individuals thatwould make health care affordable 11 for those who don’t have it. This would be the largest middle class tax cut for health care in history, and I believe we should do it. And while we agreed that Americans with pre-existing conditions should be able to get coverage 12 , we disagreed on how to do that.Some of these disagreements we may be able to resolve. Some we may not. And no final bill will include everything that everyone wants. That’s what compromise is. I said at the end of Thursday’s summit that I am eager and willing to move forward with members of both parties on health care if the other side is serious about coming together to resolve our differences and get this done. But I also believe that we cannot lose the opportunity to meet this challenge. The tens of millions of men and women who cannot afford their health insurance cannot wait another generation for us to act. Small businesses cannotwait. Americans with pre-existing conditions cannotwait. State and federal budgets cannot sustain these rising costs.It is time for us to come together. It is time for us to act. It is time for those of us in Washington to live up to(实践,做到) our responsibilities to the American people and tofuture generations. So let’s get this done.Thanks for listening.■文章重点单词注释:1stunningadj.极好的;使人晕倒的参考例句:His plays are distinguished only by their stunning mediocrity.他的戏剧与众不同之处就是平凡得出奇。

U.S. Ambassador to China Gary LockeAddress to Students and FacultyBeijing Foreign Studies UniversitySeptember 9, 2011As prepared for deliveryPresident Chen, faculty and students of Beijing Foreign Studies University:Thank you for inviting me here today. It is truly an honor to be here, and I congratulate you on celebrating your 70th anniversary.The start of a school year marks a new beginning for students. And so it's fitting that I'm here to talk about a new beginning of my own.I want to say how grateful I am for the warm welcome that my family and I have received from the Chinese people.As you know, my ancestral home is in Taishan in Guangdong province. Since our arrival, the people of China have made my entire family feel, simply put: at home – And we are grateful.I know that there are very high expectations for my tenure as ambassador.I understand why: I am the first Chinese-American to hold this post. And I do have a proven record:As a governor;As Commerce Secretary; andAs a man who has mastered the art of buying his own coffee AND carrying his own luggage!I will do the best I can as U.S. Ambassador.And although there is much work ahead to strengthen and expand U.S.-China cooperation – and to manage our differences when we don't see eye-to-eye -- I begin my ambassadorship with confidence that the overall state of our relationship is strong.One thing I do know is that the people in this room will have a lot of influence in the future of the U.S.-China relationship.For 70 years, Beijing Foreign Studies University has been a training ground for hundreds of China's top leaders including my friend and YOUR ambassador to the U.S., Zhang Yesui.Whatever your careers, in the years ahead, you will be the international face of China, and your choices will determine the steps China takes in confronting its own – and the world's -- challenges.But today, I'd like to discuss the steps I believe we must all take in strengthening the US- China relationship.To understand where the U.S.-China relationship is going, it's helpful toremember just how far it has come already.When I first attended college in 1968, a gathering like this would not have been possible – because America did not even have an ambassador in Beijing.Contrast that with today, when it could be argued that the U.S.-China bond is one of the most important bilateral relationships in the world.For 40 years, our two countries have been increas ing our cooperation and interconnectedness for a very simple reason:It is in our mutual interest.Millions of jobs are sustained in China and the United States by the trade we do with one another. American consumers benefit from the goods made in China and daily the Chinese people rely on high quality U.S. products and services. And, as our companies make investments in each other’s countries, we are creating jobs for our peoples.Every year, the comprehensive Strategic and Economic Dialogue brings together policymakers from across both governments to discuss topics ranging from breaking down trade barriers to economic cooperation to collaborating on pressing regional and global issues.To meet the challenge of global climate change, the U.S. and China can build on a legacy of over 30 years of cooperation on Science and Technology issues.Similarly, the United States and China share an interest in maintaining peace and prosperity around the world.Our defense ties extend back to World War II, when our soldiers fought and sacrificed together.Today, our defense interactions take place at the most senior levels, with the PLA Chief of the General Staff and the U.S. Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff working to improve lines of communication and strengthen the U.S.-China military to military relationship.Perhaps our greatest security challenge is the existential threat posed by the proliferation of nuclear weapons and materials, in particular from North Korea's nuclear and missile programs.China has been a vital partner as chair of the Six-Party Talks, with a unique role because of its historic relationship with, and influence on, North Korea. The United States and China share the common goals of peace and prosperity on the Korean Peninsula and North Korea's complete and verifiable denuclearization in a peaceful manner.Our countries must also continue to work together to address the Iranian nuclear program. We have coordinated an effective dual-track approach –leveraging international diplomacy and sanctions – with the other Permanent UN Security Council members as well as Germany to send a clear message from the international community to the Iranian regime that it must live up to its international obligations.And the examples of shared security interests go on: from Afghanistan to Sudan.We may not always initially agree on exactly how best to achieve our shared objectives. But when we successfully work together we often find mutually beneficial outcomes that serve the interests of all parties.Think broadly about the contributions our nations have made to civilization. I recently visited the Diaoyutai guest house where four wood panels illustrate the Chinese contributions that defined the world for centuries: the compass, gunpowder, papermaking and the printing press.And in the United States, we take great pride in our contributions – such as the light bulb, the television, the personal computer, and the Internet, which has changed all of our lives so profoundly.From the flash of gunpowder to the light of electricity, from the printed page to a webpage, from navigating the waters of the globe to navigating the Internet, our two nations have contributed so much to the world of today.Think about what we can do, in partnership, to improve the world of tomorrow.So many problems in the world today – from climate change, to poverty and disease – simply will not be solved without strong U.S.-China cooperation.That's why I'd like to state unequivocally that the United States welcomes the rise of a prosperous and successful China that plays a greater role in world affairs.I reject the notion that China and the United States are engaged in a zero-sum competition, where one side must fall for the other to rise.We can and must achieve security and prosperity together.Certainly, we will have our disagreements. That's to be expected from two large and complex nations with different histories and different political systems.As an example, let me take a moment to speak about the issue of human rights, which is an essential element of U.S. global policy. In discussing this issue, with China or any other country, we start from the premise that all people are entitled to the protections contained in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. These are universal standards, and they include the right to due process of law, to be able to speak freely, to associate openly, to pray in the manner one chooses and to enjoy the benefits of a free press.We believe that societies that respect human rights and address the aspirations of their people are more prosperous, successful and stable.And, of course, we will compete economically – as we should, because healthy, fair competition prompts companies to be more efficient with lower cost goods and helps spur new innovations and products.But competition and disagreements can't obscure the fact that we are moving ever closer together. The important thing is that we have mechanisms to broaden our areas of cooperation while managing our differences.We have worked hard over the last few years to lay this foundation:Through launching the Strategic and Economic Dialogue;Through a rapid pace of meetings between our most senior leaders;Through expanding our cooperation between our states, provinces, and cities; And, through increasing the number of exchanges between the Chinese and American peoples.All of these mechanisms will help us increase mutual understanding and trust, which will be crucial to advancing our relationship in the 21st century.This reality was confirmed earlier this year when President Obama and President Hu pledged to expand bilateral cooperation on a range of issues and when Vice President Biden spoke about this cooperation during his recent trip to China.As Ambassador, I will continue to support our two countries' efforts to work together.I will seek to further the economic and commercial ties between the U.S. and China by building our trade relationship in a mutually beneficial manner that reduces barriers to trade and increases jobs in both our countries.As President Obama told the United States Congress in a speech this morning, the highest priority of the United States today is to create jobs for Americans and revitalize our economy. Given our economic interdependence, a stronger American economy is in the economic interest of the Chinese people. And, my top priority here in China is to carry out the policies that will support this effort:Helping to double our exports – creating jobs in the U.S. and providing high quality American products and services which are in high demand in China; Increasing Chinese investment in the U.S. which will help Chinese companies prosper while at the same time creating jobs in America;And ensuring that U.S. companies can compete on a level playing field in China and be able to operate in the same open and fair environment that Chinese companies enjoy in the U.S.In the coming weeks, I will talk more about our economic and commercial ties at an event with the business community here in Beijing.At the same time, I will work to further our two countries' dialogue on human rights, religious freedom and civil society on the basis of mutual respect. I will also listen carefully to your views to understand your perspective.And I will do everything in my power to increase the essential people–to–people interactions and cultural exchanges that do so much to build genuine understanding and cooperation.The American and Chinese people want to work, live and learn together. The numbers tell the story.Last year, over 800,000 Chinese and two million Americans traveled between our countries to live, work and study together. And, more than 130,000 Chinese students attended American universities last year. In the last decade, the number of visitors from China to the United States increased by more than 200 percent. Your fellow citizens are traveling to the United States at an unprecedented rate, and China-wide demand for visas to the U.S is at anall-time high.We have made great strides toward meeting this demand, and we will be doing even more to reduce the amount of time Chinese students, business people and tourists must wait to obtain a visa.The ultimate strength of our partnership and the degree to which we build mutual trust will depend on the investment, support and active engagement of the American and Chinese peoples.That's why President Obama launched the 100,000 Strong Initiative to bring American students to live and study in China, and why we welcome even more Chinese students to the U.S., to experience American culture and society.And of course, there are millions more Chinese – like my family – who have experienced America as immigrants.In the 1890s, my grandfather first left his ancestral village near Jiangmen City for America. He arrived in Olympia, Washington to work as a houseboy in exchange for English lessons.A hundred years later, I was elected the Governor of Washington State, becoming the first Asian-American governor on the U.S. mainland. And I moved into the Governor's mansion just one mile from the house where my grandfather washed dishes and swept floors.I've sometimes asked myself:How did the Locke family go in just two generations from living in a small rural village in China to the governor's mansion?The answer is American openness – building and sustaining an open economy and an open society.America was open to my grandfather and millions of other immigrants like him, coming to its shores to pursue a better life.America was open to my father staking his small claim to the American dream, a small grocery store that he and my mother worked in seven days a week, 365 days a year to support our family.And the America I was raised in was open to new ideas, where I was allowed to think what I wanted to think and say what I wanted to say…to join organizations that could question or challenge American government policy.Our family's story is the story of America.Tens of millions of American families have travelled the same path as ours. They’ve found success through their own hard work and initiative, but it was only possible because:they lived in an open, vibrant society that rewarded individual initiative; allowed dissent and disagreement;and enabled anyone, anywhere to fully participate in our economy.While the direction China chooses is solely for it and its people to decide, we believe these values are independent of any particular political system. They are universal, and universally beneficial to societal advance.Increasing openness is already transforming Chinese society. As it has around the world, the Internet has provided a platform for millions of Chinese citizens to make their voices heard about the issues affecting their daily lives and has provided them with unprecedented access to their leaders. From property rights, to food safety to environmental protection, Chinese citizens are increas inglyengaging in a national dialogue that has led to meaningful advances improving the lives of all the people of this country.I speak of openness because it is the reason I am privileged to stand on this stage today.I speak of openness because I believe the economic and cultural opening that began with Deng Xiaoping has led to a China that is fairer, freer, and more prosperous, respected, and successful.I hope this opening will continue and accelerate. Because China's own recent history proves that when it unlocks the full potential of its people, great things are possible.I hope the opening will continue in other realms of Chinese life as well.Think for a moment about the people who invent new technologies and build new companies, who write books and music and create art. These are the people who grow our economies and enrich our culture.What these people have in common is that they think differently.They ask questions.They're willing to suggest new ideas.These are the people the world needs if we're going to:Find a cure for AIDS or other diseases;Find cleaner, cheaper sources of energy to protect our climate; orRevitalize the global economy.And that's why it's so important for societies to be open, to accommodate new thinking that can help us solve old problems.There's plenty of new thinking occurring everyday here at Beijing Foreign Studies University.By the very nature of your study of different languages and cultures, you'reopening your minds to a world of possibilities.In the years ahead, as you become the leaders and entrepreneurs and artists who shape China, I hope you will stay open, and encourage the same sensibility among your countrymen and women.We know that a more open China will lead to a stronger China and a more prosperous China.And more transparency in the U.S.-China relationship will help us further increase U.S.-China cooperation, improve mutual understanding, and deepen our relationship.I look forward to working with you, China's leaders and the Chinese people on finding new ways to cooperate and continuing to advance our relationship to meet the challenges not only of today, but of tomorrow as well.Thank you.骆家辉大使的演讲北京外国语大学2011年9月9日I. 导言陈校长,北京外国语大学的教职员工和同学们:感谢你们今天邀请我来这里。

CFC's (Chlorofluorocarbons)
Chemical compounds containing mixtures of carbon, chlorine and fluorine molecules. Because of their stability, lack of flammability and ability to absorb and give up heat readily, CFC's have in the past been popular refrigerants. However, CFC's have been found to contribute to the deterioration of the ozone layer of the upper atmosphere, which is a condition believed to be hazardous to global health. These compounds should not be released into the atmosphere, but should be carefully collected for recycling. Production of CFC's is being phased out by an international convention, the Montreal Protocol.

J·K·罗琳在哈佛大学毕业典礼上的演讲《失败的好处和想象的重要性》(The Fringe Benefits of Failure, and the Importance of Imagination)。
她几乎没有谈到哈里波特,而是说了年轻时的一些经历。
虽然J·K·罗琳现在很有钱,是英国仅次于女皇的最富有的女人,但是她曾经有一段非常艰辛的日子,30岁了,还差点流落街头。
她主要谈的是,自己从这段经历中学到的东西。
二、她首先回忆了自己大学毕业的情景:I was convinced that the only thing I wanted to do, ever, was to write novels. However, my parents, both of whom came from impoverished backgrounds and neither of whom had been to college, took the view that my overactive imagination was an amusing personal quirk that could never pay a mortgage, or secure a pension.当时,我只想去写小说。
但是,我的父母出身贫寒,没有受过大学教育。
他们认为,我那些不安分的想象力只是一种怪癖,根本不能用来还房贷,或者挣来养老金。
They had hoped that I would take a vocational degree; I wanted to study English Literature. A compromise was reached that in retrospect satisfied nobody, and I went up to study Modern Languages. Hardly had my parents’ car rounded the corner at the end of the road than I ditched German and scuttled off down the Classics corridor.他们希望我再去读个专业学位,而我想去攻读英国文学。

Remarks of President Barack ObamaAs Prepared for DeliverySaturday, August 13, 2011Washington, DCOn Thursday, I visited a new, high-tech factory in Michigan where workers are helping America lead the way in a growing clean energy industry.They were proud of their work, and they should be. They’re not just showing us a path out of the worst recession in generations –they’re proving that this is still a country where we make things; where new ideas take root and grow; where the best universities, most creative entrepreneurs, and most dynamic businesses in the world call home. They’re proving that ev en in difficult times, there’s not a country on Earth that wouldn’t trade places with us.That doesn’t mean we don’t face some very tough economic challenges. Many Americans are hurting badly right now. Many have been unemployed for too long. Putting these men and women back to work, and growing wages for everyone, has got to be our top priority.But lately, the response from Washington has been partisanship and gridlock that’s only undermined public confidence and hindered our efforts to grow the economy.So while there’s nothing wrong with our country, there is something wrong with our politics, and that’s what we’ve got to fix.Because we know there are things Congress can do, right now, to get more money back in your pockets, get this economy growing faster, and get our friends and neighbors back to work.The payroll tax cut that put $1,000 back in the average family’s pocket this year?Let’s extend it. Construction workers who’ve been jobless since the housing boom went bust? Let’s put them back to work rebuilding America. Let’s cut red tape in the patent process so entrepreneurs can get good ideas to market more quickly. Let’s finish trade deals so we can sell more American-made goods around the world. Let’s connect the hundreds of thousands of brave Americans coming home fromIraq and Afghanistan to businesses that need their incredible skills and talents.These are all things we can do right now. So let’s do them. And over the coming weeks, I’ll put forward more proposals to help our businesses hire and create jobs, and won’t stop until every American who wants a job can find one.But we can no longer let partisan brinksmanship get in our way – the idea that making it through the next election is more important than making things right. Th at’s what’s holding us back – the fact that some in Congress would rather see their opponents lose than see America win.So you’ve got a right to be frustrated.Iam. Because you deserve better. And I don’t think it’s too much for you to expect that the people you send to this town start delivering.Members of Congress are at home in their districts right now. And if you agree with me –whether you’re a Democrat or a Republican or not much of a fan of either – let them know.If you’ve had it with gridlo ck, and you want them to pass stalled bills that will help our economy right now – let them know.If you refuse to settle for a politics where scoring points is more important than solving problems; if you believe it’s time to put country before party and the interests of our children before our own – let them know.And maybe they’ll get back to Washington ready to compromise, ready to create jobs, ready to get our fiscal house in order – ready to do what you sent them to do.Yes, we’ve still got a long w ay to go to get to where we need to be. We didn’t get into this mess overnight, and it’s going to take time to get out of it. That’s a hard truth –but it’s no excuse for inaction. After all, America voted for divided government, not dysfunctional government, and we’ve got work to do.And when we come together and find common ground, there’s no stopping this country. There’s no stopping our people.There’s no holding us back. And there is every reason tobelieve we’ll get through this storm to a brig hter day.Thanks for listening, and have a nice weekend.。

The White HouseOffice of the Press SecretaryFor Immediate ReleaseMay 24, 2010Statement of President Barack Obama to the U.S.-China Strategic & Economic DialogueBeijing, ChinaTo the participants of the U.S.-China Strategic & Economic Dialogue,Last summer, I was proud to welcome many of you to the White House as our two countries launched this Strategic and Economic Dialogue. I want to thank President Hu, Vice Premier Wang, State Councilor Dai, and the entire Chinese delegation for their hospitality in hosting this year’s meeting.I am pleased that our delegation in Beijing is led by two outstanding members of my Cabinet -- Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner -- and that they are joined by officials from across my Administration.As I said when we began this dialogue, the relationship between the United States and China will shape the 21st century, which makes it as important as any bilateral relationship in the world. Together, we set out to build a positive, cons tructive, and comprehensive relationship, and we pledged to cooperate to advance our shared interests. That is what we have done.As two of the world’s largest economies, we have worked together, and with our G-20 partners, to sustain the global economic recovery. During my visit to China last fall, we forged clean energy partnerships, and at Copenhagen we made important commitments to confront climate change.To advance our common security interests, we are cooperating to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons and regional nuclear arms races that would endanger us all. I was pleased to welcome President Hu to our Nuclear Security Summit in Washington, and I thank China for its commitment to establish a center of excellence on nuclear security, which will help achieve our shared goal of securing vulnerable nuclear materials around the world.Over the next two days, our two countries have the opportunity to deepen our cooperation even further and advance the prosperity, health and security of our people. Together, we can promote economic growth that is balanced and sustained and trade that is free and fair. We can work to fulfill the commitments we made at Copenhagen. We can address pressing regional and global security challenges, including strengthening the global nonproliferation regime to ensure the rights and responsibilities of all nations. We need to improve communication between our militaries, which promotes mutual understanding and confidence.Our two nations may not always agree on every issue, but this dialogue also allows us to communicate and understand one another better. This includes America’s abiding commitment to those human rights that are universal and to the dignity of all people. Indeed, we welcome our human rights dialogue with China, which we began this month and which I look forward to continuing.Across all these areas, our relationship with China is guided by the recognition that we live in an interconnected world. As I said during my visit to China while standing beside President Hu in the Great Hall where you gather today, one country’s success need not come at the expense of another.Our progress can be shared. Indeed, the United States welcomes China as a strong, prosperous and successful member of the community of nations.A truly comprehensive relationship, however, cannot be between governments alone. It must also be between our people. That is why my visit to China included a discussion with young men and women in Shanghai, and it is why we are working to deepen the ties between Americans and Chinese through educational and cultural exchanges.As you meet in Beijing, the people of Shanghai are hosting the World Expo, which reflects the strength and creativity of China and its people. There, at the USA Pavilion, the United States is proud to showcase the spirit that has always defined our country, including our belief that we can join with other nations to build a better life for our children.This is the spirit that brings our countries together in Beijing and the spirit that must guide our work as we deepen our positive, constructive, and comprehensive relationship. Thank you for participating in this Strategic and Economic Dialogue, and we look forward to welcoming you to the United States for our meeting next year and to continuing our progress.Sincerely,President Barack ObamaMay 24, 2010TG-715Strategic and Economic Dialogue Opening Ceremony StatementBeijing, ChinaAs Prepared for DeliveryMy colleagues and I are grateful to Vice Premier Wang, Councilor Dai and all of your colleagues for welcoming us to Beijing.Since we first convened last July in Washington, we have worked hard to build a stronger relationship. We share important interests, and we share important responsibilities.When we approach our relationship in the spirit of mutual respect and cooperation, with determination at the highest levels to overcome differences, we have had great success –from leading the globalresponse to the financial crisis, to forging a global accord on climate in Copenhagen, to charting a common response to the challenge to international security posed by Iran.Our common interests lie in a stronger and more resilient world economy where growth is more balanced, both within and among nations. As we reform the U.S. economy to promote savings and investment, China is reforming its growth model to promote domestic demand and consumption.Our common interests lie in building a more stable global financial system less prone to crisis. The United States and China are working to build financial systems that channel resources efficiently to support investment and innovation critical to future economic growth. The United States Senate last week passed sweeping reforms of the financial system to provide better protection for consumers and investors and better prevention against future crises.Our common interests lie in supporting a more open global trading system, with a fair balance of benefits and responsibilities, in which countries are able to compete on a level playing field. Our two countries have benefitted greatly from open trade and investment, and we welcome a more open China today. Innovation holds the key to a more prosperous future, and innovation flourishes best when markets are open, competition is fair, and strong protections exist for ideas and inventions.Our common interests lie in building a stronger global framework for cooperation, in the Group of 20 and in the international financial institutions. We will continue to work to equip the global institutions with the right tools and the right governance to confront global challenges like climate change, development, and financial instability.Together with Secretary Clinton, I welcome this opportunity to work with Vice Premier Wang and Councilor Dai to pursue our common interests and to seek solutions to these challenges. We approach these issues in a spirit of mutual respect for the traditions, values, and interests of the United States and China.Our approach reflects the insight in the Chinese saying, 风雨同舟– when we work together in the face of adversity, our populations and the world are better off.I share President Hu’s confidence that the S&ED will foster action on our common interests - action that creates the strong and balanced global economy in which both nations will continue to thrive.May 24, 2010TG-716Economic Track Opening Session StatementTreasury Secretary Tim GeithnerBeijing, ChinaAs Prepared for DeliveryOn behalf of my U.S. colleagues, I would like to thank you, Vice Premier Wang, and your colleagues from ministries and agencies throughout China's government, for welcoming us to Diaoyutai for the Economic Track of the Strategic and Economic Dialogue.At the beginning of the first meeting of the Strategic and Economic Dialogue in Washington last July, President Obama emphasized the importance of cooperation between our nations. As he said: "匸T]he United States and China share mutual interests. If we advance those interests through cooperation, our people will benefit and the world will be better off -- because our ability to partner with each other is a prerequisite for progress on many of the most pressing global challenges."Over the past year, we have demonstrated a commitment to cooperate and an ability to work closely together on the most important economic challenges facing the world economy.Because of the actions the United States and China took over the past year, the world economy is much stronger today than it was when we last met. The global recovery continues to strengthen, although we still face significant challenges.Let me touch briefly on the key challenges that will be the focus of our discussions now and in the coming months and years.Our common challenge is to make sure that as the global economy recovers from the crisis we are laying the foundation for strong, sustainable, and balanced global growth in the future.In the United States, the President's comprehensive program of investments, tax incentives and financial measures stabilized the economy and restarted economic growth. The U.S. economy is now expanding, led by private investment. The financial system is stronger. Private savings have increased, and we are borrowing much less from the rest of the world.And as the economy strengthens, we will bring down our fiscal deficits to sustainable levels. The President has laid out a detailed, comprehensive plan to cut our budget deficit as a share of GDP by more than half over the next few years. The health care reforms adopted earlier this year will produce substantial reductions in health care costs. We have established a bipartisan Presidential Commission to recommend by the end of this year additional measures to achieve further reductions in our long term deficits.China's stimulus measures have been successful in supporting growth and shifting its composition towards domestic demand. The challenge will be to reinforce this shift to domestic demand as exceptional stimulus measures are withdrawn and as the rest of the world moves back over time to full employment and growth. This will require sustaining and deepening the measures China has already begun to raise household incomes, strengthen the social safety net, expand the range of financial services and products for households, and increase the role of the market in allocating investment capital.We welcome the fact that China's leaders have recognized that reform of the exchange rate is an important part of their broader reform agenda. Allowing the exchange rate to reflect market forces isimportant not just to give China the flexibility necessary to sustain economic growth with low inflation, but also to reinforce incentives for China's private sector to shift resources to more productive higher value-added activities that will be important to future growth.China has benefited enormously from the open and rules-based global system of trade and investment, as have we. Continued, reliable access to the large and growing United States market is an important underpinning of China's prosperity and growth.One of the most important objectives of this dialogue is to expand economic opportunities through trade and investment.After joining the WTO, China became more open to imports and to foreign investment. And we want to encourage you to go further and take additional steps to make sure that companies that export to China, that operate in China, and that compete with Chinese companies around the world are competing on a level playing field.In this context, we will have a chance during these meetings to discuss policies to encourage technological innovation in China and our concerns that those policies, including government procurement preferences, enforcement of intellectual property rights, and proposed n ew preferences for specific products designated by the Government, not unfairly disadvantage American firms and American technology.We are asking that China give American firms the same opportunities to compete in China that Chinese firms enjoy in the United States. This is a simple principle of fairness.We are both engaged in important and comprehensive reforms of our financial systems. Here we face very different challenges, but our common objective is to build more resilient financial systems tha t can better meet the financial needs of households and businesses and channel capital to the most productive enterprises with the most innovative ideas.We will provide an update on our reforms and how they will address the very substantial weaknesses i n our financial system that produced this crisis.And we look forward to hearing from the Chinese side an update on your financial reforms to expand saving and borrowing opportunities for your households and open up your financial system further to foreign firms and investment.And we will further deepen cooperation among our financial regulators and supervisors, to reflect the closer integration of our two financial systems.And we will continue to work together to build stronger institutions for coop eration on global economic and financial issues. We are working closely in the G-20, which we have now made the principal forum for addressing global economic policy issues. We are committed to further reform of the international financial institutions. We need to make sure these institutions have the right tools and the right governance to address global challenges, from development, to financial instability, and climatechange. And important part of this is giving China and other rapidly growing economies a place in these institutions that reflects your greater economic importance in the global economy.I hope we will take full advantage of this valuable opportunity to reach shared understandings and make concrete progress on the issues most important to each of us, as we continue to approach this relationship with mutual respect for our mutual interests.May 25, 2010TG-717Second Meeting of the U.S.-China Strategic & Economic DialogueU.S. Fact Sheet – Economic TrackCreating New Opportunities for U.S. Workers and Firms: The United States and China are among the largest beneficiaries of open trade and investm ent. Ensuring a thriving and mutually beneficial bilateral trade and investment relationship between our two dynamic economies is a key priority. China has become the third largest export destination for U.S. goods and services -- and one of the fastest growing. U.S. exports to China are now growing faster than overall U.S. exports. Reducing Chinese barriers to U.S. exports will help the U.S. take full advantage of the many growing opportunities represented by trade with China and create jobs for U.S. workers We made progress on several key trade and investment goals at the S&ED, and will continue to pursue them:Ensuring that innovation policies encourage the best ideas wherever they originate.∙China and the United States committed to innovation policies consistent with strong principles, including nondiscrimination, intellectual property rights protection, market competition, and no government interference in technology transfer.∙China agreed to launch expert and high-level bilateral innovation dis cussions with all relevant U.S. and Chinese agencies and to take into account the results of these discussions in formulating and implementing its innovation measures.∙China removed troubling elements of its product accreditation circular following extensive engagement with the U.S. government and business community and has delayed implementation to assess public comments.Ensuring fair government procurement treatment for U.S. goods and services.∙China agreed to submit a robust revised offer by July 2010 to join the WTO's Agreement on Government Procurement and issued draft regulations for public comment containing a 50 percent local content provision.Promoting U.S. exports through bilateral cooperation.∙China and the United States agreed to strengthen cooperation on inspections of soybeans to ensure the smooth flow of US soybean exports, which were more than $9 billion in 2009.Reducing barriers to foreign investment.∙Since S&ED I, China met important commitments to triple the threshold for foreign investments that require central government approval. China also agreed to reduce barriers to foreign investment in services, high-technology goods, high-end manufacturing, and energy saving products and to accelerate and narrow the scope of foreign inves tment reviews.These measures will create new opportunities for U.S. firms and workers through increased trade and investment over time.Promoting a Strong Recovery and More Balanced Growth: The global economy is now recovering, due in part to timely and comprehensive stimulus policies in both the United States and China coordinated through the G-20. In the face of vulnerabilities in other parts of the global economy, it is more important than ever that the U.S. and China take strong policy actions to secure the recovery, create jobs and rebalance growth to make it more sustainable.Promoting more home-grown, consumption-led growth in China.∙Following S&ED I, China implemented a range of measures to increase the contribution of consumption to its growth. In 2009, consumption accounted for 4.6 percentage points of China's real GDP growth, up from 4.1 in 2008. And, in the first quarter of 2010, consumption contributed 6.2 percentage points, the largest amount ever. The share of consumption in China's GDP though is still low; there is ample scope for the expansion of Chinese consumption to continue to support GDP growth over the years ahead.∙Strong growth in China has increased U.S. exports. U.S. exports to China are now 20 percent above where they were at this time two years ago – while U.S. exports to the world are still below their level two years ago. The rebound over the past year has been even stronger.∙China's current account surplus in 2009 fell by one-half from its peak, as a share of GDP and has declined further in the first quarter of 2010.∙To sustain this progress, at S&ED II China agreed to accelerate development of services and its social safety net, including by expanding its new rural pension system.∙Chinese workers are now earning more. Guangdong in China's industrial heartland raised its statutory minimum wage by 21 percent this month, and ten other provinces are following suit. As workers' earnings increase, their demand for imports will also rise.∙Moving to a more market-determined exchange rate will make an essential contribution to securing the global recovery and achieving more balanced global growth and was an important focus of the Dialogue. We will continue to have intensive discussions with China on this in the run-up to the G-20 Leaders' summit.Reinforcing fiscal consolidation and private savings in the United States.∙The President proposed a number of important deficit-reduction steps to achieve fiscal sustainability in the medium and long term, including the creation of the National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform to reduce the deficit to about 3 percent of GDP by 2015 and stabilize the debt-to-GDP ratio at an acceptable level.∙U.S. policy will also reinforce and sustain post-crisis gains in household savings rates, which in turn will mean a smaller role than in the past for the U.S. consumer in driving global growth.Working together on policies to eliminate fossil fuel subsidies.∙Inefficient fossil fuel subsidies encourage wasteful consum ption, reduce our energy security, impede investment in clean energy sources, and undermine efforts to deal with the threat of climate change. Through the G-20, the United States and China have agreed to rationalize and phase out inefficient fossil fuel subsidies over the medium term.∙As we do that, we recognize the importance of providing those in need with essential energy services, including through the use of targeted cash transfers and other appropriate compensation mechanisms. We have been working together to develop implementation strategies for the June G20 Leaders Summit.A Chinese economy that is powered more by consumption will contribute to stronger and more sustainable global growth. China's measures to develop the services sector will also shift China away from heavy industry toward less energy- and carbon-intensive growth.Promoting More Resilient, Open, and Market-Oriented Financial Systems: Although the United States and China face different challenges, reforming our financial sectors an d strengthening regulation is critical to achieving both strong and sustainable growth. China's financial reforms should channel resources away from large state-owned banks, which lend mainly to large state-owned firms, and toward private and small and medium-sized enterprises, particularly in the service sector. Higher interest rates for deposits would help support household income and thus household consumption.Cooperating on key financial regulatory issues to reduce regulatory arbitrage, contain systemic risks, protect small investors, create opportunities for U.S. financial service firms and make global financial markets more robust.∙Since S&ED I, China has agreed to support U.S. efforts to strengthen global financial regulation and supervision--by promoting higher, better quality, and counter-cyclical capital requirements, strengthened liquidity risk requirements, and the introduction of a leverage ratio as a supplementary measure to the Basel risk-based framework.∙In support of U.S. efforts to confront the "too big to fail" problem, the United States and China agreed at S&ED II to strengthen cooperation on the resolution of cross-border entities.∙The FDIC and China's central bank agreed to deepen their engagement to promote rural financial inclusion.∙The United States and China agreed to strengthen cooperation on insurance regulation including asset management.∙China has agreed to allow both foreign joint ventures in China and foreign investors, like pension funds, investing in China through the Qualified Foreign Institutional Investor (QFII) program to trade stock index futures.∙Since S&ED I, China has increased the quota for the QFII program (which allows foreigners to invest in Chinese stocks and bonds) from $15 billion to $17 billion and allowed foreign firms to establish consumer finance companies.Strengthening the International Financial Architecture: The United States and China recognize that multilateral institutions and mechanisms have an important role to play in promoting a strong recovery and job creation, global standards of good governance, open trade and investment, poverty reduction, and an international financial system less prone to crisis.Working together to promote reforms that strengthen the legitimacy of multilate ral institutions and ensure that they have the resources to carry out their tasks.∙Since S&ED I, China agreed to contribute to the New Arrangements to Borrow that will supplement the IMF's financial capacity and to capital increases for the World Bank, African Development Bank, and Inter-American Development Bank.∙We have supported a shift in voting share in the World Bank to emerging markets.∙At S&ED II, China agreed to work together to replenish the Multilateral Development Banks' concessional facilities to lend to the poorest countries.∙China and the United States agreed that both countries would provide their full share of the financing necessary to cancel Haiti's debt to the Inter-American Development Bank.Deepening Bilateral Engagement to Achie ve Real Results: We are building a network of cooperative arrangements with China, from boosting access to trade finance facilities for small and medium-sized enterprises, and ensuring fair labor standards and strengthening protections for workers, to figh ting money laundering and terrorist financing.May 25, 2010TG-718Remarks at the Central Party SchoolTreasury Secretary Tim GeithnerBeijing, ChinaAs DeliveredThank you, Mr. Vice President, and thank you all for coming to spend some time with me. It's a privilege to be here with you. [Inaudible.]I'm an American, but I spent most of my time as a child living outside of the United States. I went to high school in Thailand. My first day at university in the United States, I was walking to register for classes, to chose what my first classes would be, and I ran into by chance a professor of Chinese language. And he convinced me to study Chinese.I came to study in China twice at Beida (Beijing University) and Beishida (Beijing Normal University), in the summers of '81 and '82. I studied China and Japan, Chinese and Japanese, in graduate school. My first job out of graduate school was working for Henry Kissinger. My father, Peter Geithner, set up the Ford Foundation's first office in Beijing in1988, I think.When I came to China in 1981, of course, even at that time China had already achieved the remarkable feat of extending basic health care, basic education to virtually all its citizens, an accomplishment that few countries had matched at that stage of development and few match today. And of course that was just the beginning of what I think has obviously been the most remarkable transformation of an economy and society we've seen in modern history. That strategic course, that decision, to m ove to openness and reform that this institution played such a great role in shaping was critical in lifting hundreds of millions of people out of poverty and has been enormously beneficial to the broader global economy.Now both of our countries are going through a very important, complicated and consequential debate about the future of economic reform, about the role of government in the economy, and about the role of the market. As you see, we're engaged in a very sweeping, comprehensive set of reforms of our health care system, of our educational system, of our financial system, the incentives we create for how people use energy. We're re-examining, I think we both are, but in the United States we're re-examining the important question of how we best promote innovation. We've been looking at the lessons of our experience, this is something we have been pretty good at as a country, but we're looking at how to be better. And I thought I would just share with you in the spirit of the remarks you attribu ted to President Hu about how public officials should speak about reform. So I thought I would share with you some of those lessons, just informally and quickly. And I'd welcome the chance to have a conversation.I made a list. [Laughter.] These are things we think have been critical to the successes we've had and should guide the reforms we're undertaking in the United States. But obviously I'm going to present them in a way that I hope has relevance for the Chinese context.First, protection for the innovator, the inventor, protection for intellectual property rights. Openness to competition, domestically and overseas, on a level playing field. Openness to new entrants, to the small company, not just competition among the large. A financial system that can take the savings of your citizens and channel them efficiently to the most productive investments, the most promising。

奥巴马演讲 Help for Vets with PTSDRemarks of President Barack Obama As Prepared for Delivery Weekly Address July 10, 2010Last weekend, on the Fourth of July, Michelle and I welcomed some of our extraordinary military men and women and their families to the White House. They were just like the thousands of active duty personnel and veterans I’ve met across this country and around theglobe. Proud. Strong. Determined 1 . Men and women with the courage to answer their country’s call, and the character to serve the United States of America. Because of that service; because of the honor and heroism 2 of our troops around the world; our people are safer, our nation is more secure, and we are poised 3 to(信誓旦旦,准备就绪)end our combat mission in Iraq by the end of August, completing a drawdown of more than 90,000 troops since last January. Still, we are a nation at war. For the better part of a decade, our men and women in uniform have endured tour after tour in distant and dangerous places. Many have risked their lives. Many have given their lives. And as a grateful nation, humbled 4 by their service, we can never honor these American heroes or their families enough. Just as we have a solemn responsibility to train and equip ourtroops before we send them into harm’s way, we have a solemn responsibility to provide our veterans and wounded warriors 6 with the car e and benefits they’ve earned when they come home. That is our sacred trust with all who serve –and it doesn’t end when their tour of duty does. To keep that trust, we’re building a 21st century VA, increasing its budget, and ensuring the steady stream of funding it needs to support medical care for our veterans. To help our veterans and their families pursue a college education, we’re funding and implementing 7 the post-9/11 GI Bill. To deliver better care in more places, we’re expanding and increasing VA health care, building new wounded warrior 5 facilities, and adapting care to better meet the needs of female veterans. To stand with those who sacrifice, we’ve dedicated 8 new support for wounded warriors and the caregivers who put their l ives on hold for a loved one’s long recovery. And to do right by our vets 9 (审查,诊疗), we’re working to prevent and end veteran homelessness – because in the United States of America, no one who served in our uniform should sleep on our streets. We al so know that for many of today’s troops and their families, the war doesn’t end when they come home. Too many suffer from the signature injuries of today’s wars: Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder 11 and Traumatic Brain Injury. And too few receive the screeningand treatment they need. Now, in past wars, this wasn’t something America always talked about. And as a result, our troops and their families often felt stigmatized 12 (受非难的)or embarrassed when it came to seeking help. Today,we’ve made it c lear up and down the chain of commandthat folks should seek help if they need it. In fact, we’ve expanded mental health counseling and services for our vets. But for years, many veterans with PTSD who have tried to seek benefits –veterans of today’s w ars and earlier wars– have often found themselves stymied 13 (完全妨碍,从中作乱) . They’ve been required to produce evidence proving that a specific event caused their PTSD. And that practice has kept the vast majority of those with PTSD who served in non-combat roles, but who still waged war, from getting the care they need. Well, I don’t think our troopson the battlefield should have to take notes to keep for a claims application. And I’ve met enough veterans to know that you don’t have to engage in a fi refight to endure the trauma 10 (创伤) of war. So we’re changing the way things are done. On Monday, the Department of Veterans Affairs, led by Secretary Ric Shinseki, will begin making it easier for a veteran with PTSD to get the benefits he or she needs. This is a long-overdue step that will help veteransnot just of the Afghanistan and Iraq Wars, but generations of their brave predecessors 14 (前任) who proudly servedand sacrificed in all our wars. It’s a step that proves America will always be here for our veterans, just as they’ve been there for us. We won’t let them down. We take care of our own. And as long as I’m Commander-in-Chief, that’s what we’re going to keep doing. Thank you.■文章重点单词注释:1determinedadj.坚定的;有决心的参考例句:I have determined on going to Tibet after graduation.我已决定毕业后去西藏。

Remarks of President Barack Obama
As Prepared for Delivery
The White House
January 08, 2011
Last month, our economy added more than 100,000 private sector jobs and the unemployment rate fell sharply. This follows encouraging economic news from increased auto sales to continued expansion of our manufacturing sector.
Now, we know that these numbers can bounce around from month to month. But the trend is clear. We saw 12 straight months of private sector job growth –the first time that’s been true since 2006. The economy added 1.3 million jobs last year. And each quarter was stronger than the last, which means the pace of hiring is picking up.
Now we’re seeing more optimistic economi c forecasts for the year ahead, in part due to the package of tax cuts I signed last month. I fought for that package because, while we are recovering, we plainly still have a lot of work to do. The recession rocked the foundations of our economy, and left a lot of destruction and doubt in its wake.
So, our fundamental mission must be to accelerate hiring and growth, while we do the things we know are necessary to insure America’s leadership in an increasingly competitive world and build an economy that will provide opportunity to any American willing to work for it.
I’m absolutely confident we will get there. I am confident, first and foremost, because of you; because of the ingenuity of our entrepreneurs and business owners; the tenacity of our workers; and the determination of the American people. This is what has made our economy the envy of the world. But we have to do everything we can to help our businesses and workers win in this new economy.
Yesterday, I visited the Thompson Creek Window Company, a small business in Maryland. Over the past year, sales there have grown by 55% thanks, in part, to an energy tax credit we created. And this year, they’re also planning to take advantage of a new tax incentive for businesses. For one year, any business, large or small, can write off the full cost of most of their capital investments. This will make it more affordable for businesses like Thompson Creek to expand and hire.
So, if you’re a business owner, I’d encourage you to take advantage of this t emporary provision. It will save you money today and help you grow your business tomorrow.
This incentive is part of the economic package I signed into law last month – a package that also includes a payroll tax cut that will mean $1,000 more this year for a typical family. In fact, 155 million workers will see larger paychecks this month as a result of this tax cut.
Twelve million families will benefit from a $1,000 child tax credit and an expanded Earned Income Tax Credit. Eight million students and families will continue to benefit from a $2,500 tuition tax
credit to make college more affordable.
And millions of entrepreneurs in big cities and small towns across the country will benefit not only from the business expensing plan I mentioned, but from additional tax cuts that will spur research and development.
Independent experts have concluded that, taken together, this package of tax cuts will significantly accelerate the pace of our economic recovery, spurring additional jobs and growth.
And that is our mission. That should be the focus, day in and day out, of our work in Washington in the coming months, as we wrestle with a challenging budget and long-term deficits. And I’m determined to work with everyone, Republicans and Democrats, to achi eve that goal. What we can’t do is refight the battles of the past two years that distract us from the hard work of moving our economy forward. What we can’t do is engage in the kinds of symbolic battles that so often consume Washington while the rest of America waits for us to solve problems.
The tax cuts and other progress we made in December were a much-needed departure from that pattern. Let’s build on that admirable example and do our part, here in Washington, so the doers, builders, and innovators in America can do their best in 2011 and beyond. Thanks everyone, and have a nice weekend.。
