 (In progress) – Strategic and Economic Dialogue, and I know that both Secretary Geithner and I greatly appreciate all the work done by both of our delegations and the months of preparation for this meeting. I’ve read readings from President Obama and a letter from him expressing how important the Strategic and Economic Dialogue is to the U.S.-China relationship and how important this relationship is to the United States.

（正在讲话）－－战略与经济对话，而且我知道盖特纳部长和我对于双方代表的所有工作以及连月来的会议筹备都表示十分感谢。我已读到欧巴马总统的声明以及一封信函，其中表明战略与经济对话对于美中关系的重要性，以及这一关系对于美国的重要性。

As President Obama says, the United States remains committed to building a cooperative partnership based on mutual benefit and mutual respect. Since we launched this dialogue three years ago, high-ranking officials from both our governments have criss-crossed the Pacific dozens of times. Our relationship has grown closer and more consequential, and the web of connections that link our nations is increasing.

如同欧巴马总统所言，美国继续致力于建设一种基于互惠与互相尊重的合作关系。自从我们在三年前启动这项对话以来，双方政府的高级官员已在太平洋两岸往返了数十次。我们的关系更加密切也更富成效，联系我们两国的纽带也与日俱增。

As a result, this dialogue is even more necessary today than it was when it began, and the eyes of the world are once again upon us. The Chinese people and the American people looking for us to work together for their benefit, and the international community looking to us to work together for the world’s benefit; in today’s world, no global player can afford to treat geopolitics as a zero-sum game, so we are working to build a relationship that allows both of our countries to flourish without unhealthy competition or conflict, while at the same time meeting our responsibilities to our people and to the international community.

因此，这项对话在今天比当年启动时更为必要，世人的目光也再次注视着我们。中国人民和美国人民都希望我们共同为他们谋福利，国际社会也希望我们共同为世界谋福利；在今天的世界中，没有任何全球大国能将地缘政治视为零和游戏，所以我们正在努力建立一种关系，使两国能够繁荣兴盛，而且没有不健康的竞争或冲突，同时满足我们人民和国际社会的需求。

We both know that we have to get this right because so much depends upon it. We also both know that our countries have become thoroughly, inescapably interdependent. As President Obama and I have said many times, the United States believes that a thriving China is good for America, and a thriving America is good for China. So we have a strong interest in China’s continued economic growth and if China’s rising capabilities means that we have an increasingly able and engaged partner in solving the threats we face to both regional and global security, that is all good.

我们都知道我们必须做得正确，因为这的确事关重大。我们都知道两国已经完全地、不可避免地互相依赖。正如欧巴马总统和我本人多次谈到的，美国相信兴盛的中国对美国有益，而兴盛的美国同样对中国有益。所以，中国持续的经济增长关系到我们的重大利益，如果中国日益加强的能力意味着我们拥有一个越来越强大并投入的合作伙伴以解决我们双方面临的地区和全球安全威胁，那是非常好的事情。

Now, having said that, we understand too that building a cooperative, resilient, mutually beneficial relationship is not easy. That’s why this dialogue is so critical as well as the Strategic Security Dialogue that took place here yesterday. We are discussing how the talks are opening economic activity to advance prosperity, support innovation, and improve the lives of people, how to promote greater military transparency to avoid misunderstandings, to build trust and maintain mutual stability, how to tackle some of the world’s most urgent crises from climate change to proliferation.

在此基础上，我们也理解要建立一种合作、坚韧、互惠的关系并不容易。这就是这一对话以及昨天在此举行的战略安全对话如此重要的原因。我们讨论了对话如何开启经济活动以促进繁荣、支持创新并改善人民生活，如何提倡提高军事透明度以避免误解，建立信任并维护共同稳定，如何应对全世界从气候变化到核扩散的一系列最紧迫的危机。

The United States welcomes China’s increased engagement on the highest priority regional and global issues, and in our strategic track, we will be discussing these. For example, on Iran, the United States and China share the goal of preventing Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon. And we had a productive first meeting as members of the P-5+1 in Istanbul, and are looking forward to the next meeting in Baghdad because we both understand it is critical to keep pressure on Iran to meet its international obligations, to negotiate seriously, and prove that its nuclear program is solely for peaceful purposes.

美国欢迎中国日益投入于最重要的地区和全球事务，我们将在战略会谈中对此进行讨论。举例而言，在伊朗问题上，美国和中国都抱有制止伊朗获得核武器的目标。作为5常加1的成员，我们已在伊斯坦布尔召开了富于成效的第一次会议，并期待下一次会议在巴格达召开，因为我们双方都理解，继续对伊朗施压以使它履行其国际义务、严肃地进行谈判、并证明其核项目完全用于和平目的，都是至关重要的。

In Syria, we are absolutely committed to end the brutal violence against civilians, and therefore, it is essential that the international community work together to hold the regime and the others involved in violence accountable, because regrettably, the Security Council on which we both serve as current members is at stake.

在叙利亚，我们坚定不移地致力于结束伤害平民的野蛮暴力行为；因此，国际社会协力追究实施暴力行为的叙利亚政权及其他人的责任至关重要；因为令人遗憾的是，我们目前都是其成员的安理会面临信誉危机。

Regarding North Korea, the missile launch seems to suggest that Pyongyang actually used improved relations with the outside world not a goal, but as a threat. And we recognize the role that China is playing and are continuing to work together to make it clear to North Korea that strength and security will come from prioritizing the needs of its people, not from further provocation.

至于北韩，它进行的导弹发射似乎暗示，平壤实际上不是把与外部世界关系的改善作为一项目标，而是作为一种威胁。我们了解中国正在发挥的作用，继续协作，向北韩明确表示：北韩的力量与安全将来自优先考虑其人民的需求，而不是来自进一步的挑衅。

In Sudan and South Sudan, China and the United States are working together. In fact, with me today is the U.S. special envoy to Sudan who is in regular contact with the Chinese special representative for Africa. And I’m pleased that China and the United States joined with a unified international community just hours ago to support a strong UN security resolution that provides unambiguous support for the African Union roadmap.

在苏丹和南苏丹，中国和美国正在共同努力。事实上，与中国驻非洲特别代表保持经常接触的美国驻苏丹特使今天与我一起出席会议。我感到高兴的是，中国与美国就在几个小时前与团结一致的国际社会一道支持联合国关于安全问题的强有力决议，向非洲联盟的路线图提供明确无疑的支持。
