8:02 P.M. EDT 晚上 8:02美东时间
THE PRESIDENT: Good evening, my fellow Americans. We’re facing an inflection point in history — one of those moments where the decisions we make today are going to determine the future for decades to come. That’s what I’d like to talk with you about tonight.
总统：晚上好，我的美国同胞们。我们正面临历史的转折点——我们今天做出的决定将决定未来几十年的未来。这就是今晚我想和你们谈论的话题。
You know, earlier this morning, I returned from Israel. They tell me I’m the first American president to travel there during a war.
你知道，今天早上早些时候，我从以色列回来。他们告诉我，我是第一位在战争期间前往那里的美国总统。
I met with the Prime Minister and members of his cabinet. And most movingly, I met with Israelis who had personally lived through horrific horror of the attack by Hamas on the 7th of October.
我会见了总理及其内阁成员。最令人感动的是，我会见了亲身经历过 10 月 7 日哈马斯袭击的可怕恐怖的以色列人。
More than 1,300 people slaughtered in Israel, including at least 32 American citizens. Scores of innocents — from infants to elderly grandparents, Israelis, Americans — taken hostage.
超过 1,300 人在以色列被屠杀，其中包括至少 32 名美国公民。数十名无辜者——从婴儿到年迈的祖父母、以色列人、美国人——被劫为人质。
As I told the families of Americans being held captive by Hamas, we’re pursuing every avenue to bring their loved ones home. As President, there is no higher priority for me than the safety of Americans held hostage.
正如我告诉被哈马斯俘虏的美国人的家人一样，我们正在想尽一切办法将他们的亲人带回家。作为总统，对我来说，没有比被劫持的美国人的安全更重要的事情了。
The terrorist group Hamas unleashed pure, unadulterated evil in the world. But sadly, the Jewish people know, perhaps better than anyone, that there is no limit to the depravity of people when they want to inflict pain on others.
恐怖组织哈马斯向世界释放了纯粹、纯粹的邪恶。但可悲的是，犹太人也许比任何人都清楚，当人们想要给他人带来痛苦时，他们的堕落是没有限制的。
In Israel, I saw a people who are strong, determined, resilient, and also angry, in shock, and in deep, deep pain.
在以色列，我看到了一个坚强、坚定、坚韧的人民，但他们也感到愤怒、震惊和深深的痛苦。
I also spoke with President Abbas of the Palestinian Authority and reiterated that the United States remains committed to the Palestinian people’s right to dignity and to self-determination. The actions of Hamas terrorists don’t take that right away.
我还与巴勒斯坦权力机构主席阿巴斯进行了交谈，并重申美国仍然致力于维护巴勒斯坦人民的尊严和自决权。哈马斯恐怖分子的行动并没有立即解决这个问题。
Like so many other, I am heartbroken by the tragic loss of Palestinian life, including the explosion at a hospital in Gaza — which was not done by the Israelis.
和许多其他人一样，我对巴勒斯坦人的悲惨生命损失感到心碎，包括加沙一家医院的爆炸——这不是以色列人造成的。
We mourn every innocent life lost. We can’t ignore the humanity of innocent Palestinians who only want to live in peace and have an opportunity.
我们哀悼每一个逝去的无辜生命。我们不能忽视无辜巴勒斯坦人的人性，他们只想和平生活并拥有机会。
You know, the assault on Israel echoes nearly 20 months of war, tragedy, and brutality inflicted on the people of Ukraine — people that were very badly hurt since Putin launched his all-out invasion.
你知道，对以色列的袭击与乌克兰人民遭受近20个月的战争、悲剧和暴行相呼应——自普京发动全面入侵以来，乌克兰人民受到了严重伤害。
We’ve have not forgotten the mass graves, the bodies found bearing signs of torture, rape used as a weapon by the Russians, and thousands and thousands of Ukrainian children forcibly taken into Russia, stolen from their parents. It’s sick.
我们没有忘记乱葬坑，发现的尸体带有酷刑痕迹，被俄罗斯人用作武器强奸，还有成千上万的乌克兰儿童被强行带入俄罗斯，从父母身边被偷走。它病了。
Hamas and Putin represent different threats, but they share this in common: They both want to completely annihilate a neighboring democracy — completely annihilate it.
哈马斯和普京代表着不同的威胁，但他们有一个共同点：他们都想彻底摧毁邻国的民主国家——彻底摧毁它。
Hamas — its stated purpose for existing is the destruction of the State of Israel and the murder of Jewish people.
哈马斯——其存在的既定目的是摧毁以色列国和谋杀犹太人。
Hamas does not represent the Palestinian people. Hamas uses Palestinian civilians as human shields, and innocent Palestinian families are suffering greatly because of them.
哈马斯不代表巴勒斯坦人民。哈马斯利用巴勒斯坦平民作为人盾，无辜的巴勒斯坦家庭因此遭受巨大痛苦。
Meanwhile, Putin denies Ukraine has or ever had real statehood. He claims the Soviet Union created Ukraine. And just two weeks ago, he told the world that if the United States and our allies withdraw — and if the United States withdraw, our allies will as well — military support for Ukraine, it would have, quote, “a week left to live.” But we’re not withdrawing.
与此同时，普京否认乌克兰曾经或曾经拥有真正的国家地位。他声称苏联创造了乌克兰。就在两周前，他告诉世界，如果美国和我们的盟友撤回——如果美国撤回，我们的盟友也会撤回——对乌克兰的军事支持，引用的话，“乌克兰将只剩下一周的生命”。 ”。但我们不会退出。
I know these conflicts can seem far away. And it’s natural to ask: Why does this matter to America?
我知道这些冲突似乎很遥远。人们很自然地会问：为什么这对美国很重要？
So let me share with you why making sure Israel and Ukraine succeed is vital for America’s national security. You know, history has taught us that when terrorists don’t pay a price for their terror, when dictators don’t pay a price for their aggression, they cause more chaos and death and more destruction. They keep going, and the cost and the threats to America and to the world keep rising.
因此，让我与您分享为什么确保以色列和乌克兰的成功对于美国的国家安全至关重要。你知道，历史告诉我们，当恐怖分子不为他们的恐怖付出代价时，当独裁者不为他们的侵略付出代价时，他们就会造成更多的混乱、死亡和更多的破坏。他们继续前进，美国和世界的代价和威胁不断上升。
So, if we don’t stop Putin’s appetite for power and control in Ukraine, he won’t limit himself just to Ukraine. He’s — Putin has already threated to “remind” — quote, “remind” Poland that their western land was a gift from Russia.
因此，如果我们不阻止普京对乌克兰的权力和控制欲，他就不会将自己仅限于乌克兰。他——普京已经威胁要“提醒”——引用，“提醒”波兰，他们的西部土地是俄罗斯的礼物。
One of his top advisors, a former president of Russia, has called Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania Russia’s “Baltic provinces.” These are all NATO Allies.
他的一位高级顾问、俄罗斯前总统称爱沙尼亚、拉脱维亚和立陶宛为俄罗斯的“波罗的海三省”。这些都是北约盟友。
For 75 years, NATO has kept peace in Europe and has been the cornerstone of American security. And if Putin attacks a NATO Ally, we will defend every inch of NATO which the treaty requires and calls for.
75年来，北约一直维护着欧洲的和平，也是美国安全的基石。如果普京攻击北约盟友，我们将按照条约的要求和要求保卫北约的每一寸土地。
We will have something that we do not seek — make it clear: we do not seek — we do not seek to have American troops fighting in Russia or fighting against Russia.
我们将拥有我们不寻求的东西——明确表示：我们不寻求——我们不寻求让美国军队在俄罗斯作战或与俄罗斯作战。
Beyond Europe, we know that our allies and, maybe most importantly, our adversaries and competitors are watching. They’re watching our response in Ukraine as well.
在欧洲之外，我们知道我们的盟友，也许最重要的是，我们的对手和竞争对手正在注视着我们。他们也在关注我们在乌克兰的反应。
And if we walk away and let Putin erase Ukraine’s independence, would-be aggressors around the world would be emboldened to try the same. The risk of conflict and chaos could spread in other parts of the world — in the Indo-Pacific, in the Middle East — especially in the Middle East.
如果我们走开并让普京消除乌克兰的独立，世界各地的潜在侵略者就会大胆地尝试同样的做法。冲突和混乱的风险可能会蔓延到世界其他地区——印太地区、中东——尤其是中东。
Iran is — is supporting Russia’s U- — in Ukraine, and it’s supporting Hamas and other terrorist groups in the region. And we’ll continue to hold them accountable, I might add.
伊朗在乌克兰支持俄罗斯的U-，并且支持该地区的哈马斯和其他恐怖组织。我想补充一点，我们将继续追究他们的责任。
The United States and our partners across the region are working to build a better future for the Middle East, one where the Middle East is more stable, better connected to its neighbors, and — through innovative projects like the India-Middle East-Europe rail corridor that I announced this year at the summit of the world’s biggest economies. More predictable markets, more employment, less rage, less grievances, less war when connected. It benefits the people — it would benefit the people of the Middle East, and it would benefit us.
美国和我们在该地区的合作伙伴正在努力为中东建设一个更美好的未来，让中东更加稳定，与邻国建立更好的联系，并且通过印度-中东-欧洲铁路等创新项目我今年在世界最大经济体峰会上宣布的走廊。互联时市场更可预测，就业更多，愤怒更少，怨气更少，战争更少。它造福于人民——它将造福于中东人民，也将造福于我们。
American leadership is what holds the world together. American alliances are what keep us, America, safe. American values are what make us a partner that other nations want to work with. To put all that at risk if we walk away from Ukraine, if we turn our backs on Israel, it’s just not worth it.
美国的领导力使世界团结在一起。美国的联盟是保证我们美国安全的力量。美国的价值观使我们成为其他国家愿意合作的伙伴。如果我们离开乌克兰，如果我们背弃以色列，那么这一切都是不值得的。
That’s why, tomorrow, I’m going to send to Congress an urgent budget request to fund America’s national security needs, to support our critical partners, including Israel and Ukraine.
这就是为什么明天我将向国会提交一份紧急预算请求，为美国的国家安全需求提供资金，支持我们的重要合作伙伴，包括以色列和乌克兰。
It’s a smart investment that’s going to pay dividends for American security for generations, help us keep American troops out of harm’s way, help us build a world that is safer, more peaceful, and more prosperous for our children and grandchildren.
这是一项明智的投资，将为美国几代人的安全带来红利，帮助我们让美国军队免受伤害，帮助我们为我们的子孙建立一个更安全、更和平、更繁荣的世界。
In Israel, we must make sure that they have what they need to protect their people today and always.
在以色列，我们必须确保他们拥有今天和永远保护其人民所需的一切。
The security package I’m sending to Congress and asking Congress to do is an unprecedented commitment to Israel’s security that will sharpen Israel’s qualitative military edge, which we’ve committed to — the qualitative military edge.
我向国会发送并要求国会执行的安全方案是对以色列安全的前所未有的承诺，这将增强以色列的军事质量优势，这也是我们所承诺的——军事质量优势。
We’re going to make sure Iron Dome continues to guard the skies over Israel. We’re going to make sure other hostile actors in the region know that Israel is stronger than ever and prevent this conflict from spreading.
我们将确保铁穹继续守护以色列上空。我们将确保该地区的其他敌对行为体知道以色列比以往任何时候都更强大，并防止这场冲突蔓延。
Look, at the same time, President [Prime Minister] Netanyahu and I discussed again yesterday the critical need for Israel to operate by the laws of war. That means protecting civilians in combat as best as they can. The people of Gaza urgently need food, water, and medicine.
与此同时，内塔尼亚胡总统和我昨天再次讨论了以色列遵守战争法的迫切需要。这意味着在战斗中尽最大努力保护平民。加沙人民迫切需要食物、水和药品。
Yesterday, in discussions with the leaders of Israel and Egypt, I secured an agreement for the first shipment of humanitarian assistance from the United Nations to Palestinian civilians in Gaza.
昨天，在与以色列和埃及领导人的讨论中，我就联合国向加沙巴勒斯坦平民运送第一批人道主义援助达成了协议。
If Hamas does not divert or steal this shipment — these shipments, we’re going to provide an opening for sustained delivery of lifesaving humanitarian assistance for the Palestinians.
如果哈马斯不转移或窃取这批货物——这些货物，我们将为持续向巴勒斯坦人提供救生人道主义援助提供机会。
And as I said in Israel: As hard as it is, we cannot give up on peace. We cannot give up on a two-state solution.
正如我在以色列所说：尽管困难重重，我们不能放弃和平。我们不能放弃两国解决方案。
Israel and Palestinians equally deserve to live in safety, dignity, and peace.
以色列和巴勒斯坦人同样应该生活在安全、尊严与和平中。
你知道，在家里，我们必须对自己诚实。近年来，太多的仇恨被注入了太多的氧气，助长了美国的种族主义、反犹太主义和伊斯兰恐惧症的抬头。
It’s also intensified in the wake of recent events that led to the horrific threats and attacks that both shock us and break our hearts.
最近发生的事件导致了可怕的威胁和袭击，让我们感到震惊和心碎，这种情况也更加严重。
On October 7th, terror attacks have triggered deep scars and terrible memories in the Jewish community.
10月7日，恐怖袭击在犹太社区引发了深深的伤痕和可怕的记忆。
Today, Jewish families worried about being targeted in school, wearing symbols of their faith walking down the street, or going out about their daily lives.
如今，犹太家庭担心在学校成为攻击目标，担心在街上佩戴象征其信仰的标志行走，或外出日常生活。
You know, I know many of you in the Muslim American community or the Arab American community, the Palestinian American community, and so many others are outraged and hurting, saying to yourselves, “Here we go again,” with Islamophobia and distrust we saw after 9/11.
你知道，我知道美国穆斯林社区、阿拉伯裔美国人社区、巴勒斯坦美国人社区以及其他许多人都感到愤怒和受伤，对自己说：“我们又来了”，我们看到了伊斯兰恐惧症和不信任9/11 之后。
Just last week, a mother was brutally stabbed, a little boy — here in the United States — a little boy who had just turned six years old was murdered in their home outside of Chicago.
就在上周，一位母亲被残忍刺伤，一名小男孩——在美国——一个刚满六岁的小男孩在芝加哥郊外的家中被谋杀。
His name was Wadea — Wadea — a proud American, a proud Palestinian American family.
他的名字叫瓦迪亚（Wadea）——瓦迪亚（Wadea）——一个自豪的美国人，一个自豪的巴勒斯坦美国家庭。
We can’t stand by and stand silent when this happens. We must, without equivocation, denounce antisemitism. We must also, without equivocation, denounce Islamophobia.
当这种情况发生时，我们不能袖手旁观、保持沉默。我们必须毫不含糊地谴责反犹太主义。我们还必须毫不含糊地谴责伊斯兰恐惧症。
And to all of you hurting — those of you who are hurting, I want you to know: I see you. You belong. And I want to say this to you: You’re all America. You’re all America.
对于所有受伤的人——那些正在受伤的人，我想让你们知道：我看到你们了。你属于。我想对你们说：你们都是美国。你们都是美国。
This is in a moment where there’s — you know, in moments like these, when fear and suspicion, anger and rage run hard, that we have to work harder than ever to hold on to the values that make us who we are.
在这个时刻——你知道，在这样的时刻，当恐惧和怀疑、愤怒和愤怒强烈蔓延时，我们必须比以往任何时候都更加努力地坚持那些使我们成为我们自己的价值观。
We’re a nation of religious freedom, freedom of expression. We all have a right to debate and disagree without fear of being targeted at schools or workplaces or in our communities.
我们是一个宗教自由、言论自由的国家。我们所有人都有权辩论和表达不同意见，而不必担心成为学校、工作场所或社区的攻击目标。
And we must renounce violence and vitriol, see each other not as enemies but as — but as fellow Americans.
我们必须放弃暴力和尖酸刻薄，不将彼此视为敌人，而是将彼此视为美国同胞。
When I was in Israel yesterday, I said that when America experienced the hell of 9/11, we felt enraged as well. While we sought and got justice, we made mistakes. So, I cautioned the government of Israel not to be blinded by rage.
昨天我在以色列的时候说过，当美国经历9/11的地狱般的事件时，我们也感到愤怒。当我们寻求并得到正义时，我们犯了错误。因此，我警告以色列政府不要被愤怒蒙蔽双眼。
And here in America, let us not forget who we are. We reject all forms — all forms of hate, whether against Muslims, Jews, or anyone. That’s what great nations do, and we are great nation.
在美国这里，让我们不要忘记我们是谁。我们拒绝一切形式——一切形式的仇恨，无论是针对穆斯林、犹太人还是任何人。这就是伟大国家所做的，我们是伟大国家。
On Ukraine, I’m asking Congress to make sure we can continue to send Ukraine the weapons they need to defend themselves and their country without interruption so Ukraine can stop Putin’s brutality in Ukraine.
关于乌克兰，我要求国会确保我们能够继续不间断地向乌克兰提供保卫自己和国家所需的武器，以便乌克兰能够制止普京在乌克兰的暴行。
They are succeeding. 他们正在成功。
When Putin invaded Ukraine, he thought he would take Kyiv and all of Ukraine in a matter of days. Well, over a year later, Putin has failed, and he continues to fail. Kyiv still stands because of the bravery of the Ukrainian people.
当普京入侵乌克兰时，他认为他将在几天内占领基辅和整个乌克兰。一年多后，普京失败了，而且还在继续失败。由于乌克兰人民的勇敢，基辅仍然屹立不倒。
Ukraine has regained more than 50 percent of the territory
乌克兰收复超过50%领土
Russian troops once occupied, backed by a U.S.-led coalition of more than 50 countries around the world all doing its part to support Kyiv.
俄罗斯军队一度占领，并得到以美国为首的全球 50 多个国家联盟的支持，这些国家都在尽自己的一份力量来支持基辅。
What would happen if we walked away? We are the essential nation.
如果我们走开会发生什么？我们是重要的民族。
Meanwhile, Putin has turned to Iran and North Korea to buy attack drones and ammunition to terrorize Ukrainian cities and people.
与此同时，普京转向伊朗和朝鲜购买攻击无人机和弹药，以恐吓乌克兰城市和人民。
From the outset, I have said I will not send American troops to fight in Ukraine.
我从一开始就说过，我不会派美军去乌克兰作战。
All Ukraine is asking for is help — for the weapons, munitions, the capacity, the capability to push invading Russian forces off their land, and the air defense systems to shoot down Russian missiles before they destroy Ukrainian cities.
乌克兰所要求的只是帮助——武器、弹药、能力、将入侵的俄罗斯军队赶出其领土的能力，以及在俄罗斯导弹摧毁乌克兰城市之前将其击落的防空系统。
And let me be clear about something: We send Ukraine equipment sitting in our stockpiles. And when we use the money allocated by Congress, we use it to replenish our own stores — our own stockpiles with new equipment — equipment that defe- — that defends America and is made in America: Patriot missiles for air defense batteries made in Arizona; artillery shells manufactured in 12 states across the country — in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Texas; and so much more.
让我澄清一件事：我们向乌克兰发送库存中的设备。当我们使用国会分配的资金时，我们用它来补充我们自己的商店 - 我们自己的新设备库存 - 防御设备 - 保卫美国并在美国制造：亚利桑那州制造的用于防空电池的爱国者导弹；全国12个州制造的炮弹——宾夕法尼亚州、俄亥俄州、德克萨斯州；还有更多。
You know, just as in World War Two, today, patriotic American workers are building the arsenal of democracy and serving the cause of freedom.
你知道，就像第二次世界大战一样，今天，爱国的美国工人正在建设民主武库，为自由事业服务。
Let me close with this. Earlier this year, I boarded Air Force One for a secret flight to Poland. There, I boarded a train with blacked-out windows for a 10-hour ride each way to Kyiv to stand with the people of Ukraine ahead of the one-year anniversary of their brave fight against Putin.
让我结束这一点。今年早些时候，我登上空军一号秘密飞往波兰。在那里，我登上了一列车窗全黑的火车，单程 10 个小时前往基辅，在乌克兰人民与普京英勇斗争一周年之际与他们站在一起。
I’m told I was the first American [president] to enter a warzone not controlled by the United States military since President Lincoln.
有人告诉我，我是自林肯总统以来第一位进入不受美国军方控制的战区的美国[总统]。
With me was just a small group of security personnel and a few advisors.
和我在一起的只有一小群保安人员和一些顾问。
But when I exited that train and met Zelenskyy — President Zelenskyy, I didn’t feel alone. I was bringing with me
但当我下了火车并见到泽伦斯基——泽伦斯基总统时，我并不感到孤独。我随身带着
the idea of America, the promise of America to the people who are today fighting for the same things we fought for 250 years ago: freedom, independence, self-determination.
美国的理念，美国对今天正在为我们 250 年前为之奋斗的同样目标而奋斗的人们的承诺：自由、独立、自决。
And as I walked through Kyiv with President Zelenskyy, with air raid sirens sounding in the distance, I felt something I’ve always believed more strongly than ever before: America is a beacon to the world still. Still.
当我与泽伦斯基总统一起走过基辅时，远处响起了空袭警报，我比以往任何时候都更加强烈地感受到我一直相信的东西：美国仍然是世界的灯塔。仍然。
We are, as my friend Madeleine Albright said, “the indispensable nation.”
正如我的朋友玛德琳·奥尔布赖特所说，我们是“不可或缺的国家”。
Tonight, there are innocent people all over the world who hope because of us, who believe in a better life because of us, who are desperate not be forgotten be- — by us, and who are waiting for us.
今晚，世界各地都有无辜的人们因为我们而怀有希望，因为我们而相信更好的生活，他们绝望地不被我们遗忘，他们正在等待我们。
But time is of the essence.
但时间至关重要。
I know we have our divisions at home. We have to get past them. We can’t let petty, partisan, angry politics get in the way of our responsibilities as a great nation.
我知道我们在国内有我们的部门。我们必须超越他们。我们不能让琐碎的、党派的、愤怒的政治妨碍我们作为一个伟大国家的责任。
We cannot and will not let terrorists like Hamas and tyrants like Putin win. I refuse to let that happen.
我们不能也不会让哈马斯这样的恐怖分子和普京这样的暴君获胜。我拒绝让这种事发生。
In moments like these, we have to remind — we have to remember who we are. We are the United States of America — the United States of America. And there is nothing — nothing beyond our capacity if we do it together.
在这样的时刻，我们必须提醒——我们必须记住我们是谁。我们是美利坚合众国——美利坚合众国。只要我们齐心协力，就没有什么事情超出我们的能力范围。
My fellow Americans, thank you for your time.
我的美国同胞们，谢谢你们抽出时间。
May God bless you all. And may God protect our troops.
愿上帝保佑你们大家。愿上帝保护我们的军队。
