[現場提問]
問：好的，謝謝您。總統先生，我是上海交通大學的學生。我想請問一個關于諾貝爾和平獎的問題。依您之見，您獲得諾貝爾和平獎的主要原因是什么？它會給您更多責任和壓力來促進世界和平嗎？它會對您處理國際事務的想法產生影響嗎？非常感謝。
Q Okay, thank you. Mr. President, I'm a student from Shanghai Jiao Tong University. I have a question concerning the Nobel Prize for Peace. In your opinion, what's the main reason that you were honored the Nobel Prize for Peace? And will it give you more responsibility and pressure to -- more pressure and the responsibility to promote world peace? And will it bring you -- will it influence your ideas while dealing with the international affairs? Thank you very much.
PRESIDENT OBAMA: Thank you. That was an excellent question. I have to say that nobody was more surprised than me about winning the Nobel Prize for Peace. Obviously it's a great honor. I don't believe necessarily that it's an honor I deserve, given the extraordinary history of people who have won the prize. All I can do is to, with great humility, accept the fact that I think the committee was inspired by the American people and the possibilities of changing not only America but also America's approach to the world. And so in some ways I think they gave me the prize but I was more just a symbol of the shift in our approach to world affairs that we are trying to promote.
奧巴馬總統：謝謝。這個問題提得很好。我必須說，沒有人比我對贏得諾貝爾和平獎更感到吃驚。這當然是一項殊榮。基于過去獲獎者的輝煌歷史，我不認為我的獲獎是完全實至名歸的。但是，我只能謙卑地接受這一事實，也就是，使委員會受到感動的是美國民眾以及那種不僅讓美國發生改變、而且讓美國對世界的方針發生改變的可能性。因此我想，以某種方式說，雖然他們頒給我這個獎，但我更只是一個象征，代表了我們在處理國際事務方面改變做法的努力。
In terms of the burden that I feel, I am extraordinarily honored to be put in the position of President. And as my wife always reminds me when I complain that I'm working too hard, she says, you volunteered for this job.(Laughter.) And so you -- there's a saying -- I don't know if there's a similar saying in China -- we have a saying: "You made your bed, now you have to sleep in it." And it basically means you have to be careful what you ask for because you might get it.
至于我所感受的重擔，我能擔任總統一職著實為莫大的榮幸。每當我抱怨工作太繁重時，我的妻子總是提醒我：“你可是自愿要做這份工作的。”（笑聲）我不知道中國是否有類似的諺語，但是我們美國人會說：“你鋪了床，就得在上面睡覺。”大意是，你在許愿時要當心，因為你可能真的會如愿。
