We have to do so, though, also keeping in mind that when we use our military, because we're such big and strong countries, that we have to be self-reflective about what we do; that we have to examine our own motives and our own interests to make sure that we are not simply using our military forces because nobody can stop us. That's a burden that great countries, great powers, have, is to act responsibly in the community of nations. And my hope is, is that the United States and China together can help to create an international norms that reduce conflict around the world. (Applause.)
然而,我們要在這樣做,在我們動用軍隊的時候,還需想到,因為我們是如此強有力的大國,因此必須時刻反省我們的作為,檢視我們的動機和自身的利益,確保我們不會僅僅因為沒有人能夠阻止我們就使用武裝力量。大國強國的責任之一就是,在國際社會中以負責任的態度行事。我希望美中兩國能夠協力創建一個減少全球沖突的國際規范。(掌聲)
Okay. All right? Jon -- I'm going to call on my Ambassador because I think he has a question that was generated through the Web site of our embassy. This was selected, though, by I think one of the members of our U.S. press corps so that --
好。怎么樣?Jon——我將讓我的大使提問,我想他有一個通過使館網站提的問題。這是個挑選出來的問題,我想是由是我們美國記者團成員挑選的, 所以….
AMBASSADOR HUNTSMAN: That's right. And not surprisingly, "in a country with 350 million Internet users and 60 million bloggers, do you know of the firewall?" And second, "should we be able to use Twitter freely" -- is the question.
洪博培大使:對。而且毫不奇怪:“在一個有3億5千萬網民,6千萬博客的國家,你聽說沒聽說過防火墻?” 第二,“我們該不該能夠自由使用Twitter(嘰喳網)?”——就是這個問題。
PRESIDENT OBAMA: Well, first of all, let me say that I have never used Twitter. I noticed that young people -- they're very busy with all these electronics. My thumbs are too clumsy to type in things on the phone. But I am a big believer in technology and I'm a big believer in openness when it comes to the flow of information. I think that the more freely information flows, the stronger the society becomes, because then citizens of countries around the world can hold their own governments accountable. They can begin to think for themselves. That generates new ideas. It encourages creativity.
奧巴馬總統:首先,我要說,我從沒用過Twitter。我注意到,年輕人他們都忙著這些電子東西。我的指頭在電話上打字有些不靈。但是,我對技術深信不疑,我深信信息交流的開放性。我以為,信息交流得越自由,社會就越強大,因為這樣世界各國的公民可以向自己的政府問責。他們會開始獨立思考,從而產生新思想,鼓勵創造性。
