PRESIDENT OBAMA: Well, thank you very much for the question. I was just having lunch before I came here with the Mayor of Shanghai, and he told me that he has had an excellent relationship with the city of Chicago -- my home town -- that he's visited there twice. And I think it's wonderful to have these exchanges between cities.
奧巴馬總統: 十分感謝你提出這個問題。我來這里之前，恰在與上海市長共進午餐，他告訴我，他與芝加哥市——我的家鄉——有著極好的關系，他已經到芝加哥市訪問過兩次。我認為城市之間進行交流是非常好的事。
One of the things that I discussed with the Mayor is how both cities can learn from each other on strategies around clean energy, because one of the issues that ties China and America together is how, with an expanding population and a concern for climate change, that we're able to reduce our carbon footprint. And obviously in the United States and many developed countries, per capita, per individual, they are already using much more energy than each individual here in China. But as China grows and expands, it's going to be using more energy as well. So both countries have a great interest in finding new strategies.
我與上海市長討論的內容之一是，兩座城市如何能夠在清潔能源戰略上彼此學習，因為把中國與美國聯系在一起的問題之一是：隨著人口的增長和對氣候變化的擔憂，我們如何能夠減少我們兩國的碳足跡。顯然，在美國和許多發達國家中，按人口、按每個人平均計算，他們使用的能源比起在中國這里的每個人使用的能源要多得多。但隨著中國的增長和發展，它也將使用更多的能源。因此兩國都十分想要找到新的戰略。
We talked about mass transit and the excellent rail lines that are being developed in Shanghai. I think we can learn in Chicago and the United States some of the fine work that's being done on high-speed rail.
我們談到了公共交通及上海正在發展的優異的軌道線。我認為我們在芝加哥和美國可以從正在建造的精良的高速軌道工程中學習一些東西。
In the United States, I think we are learning how to develop buildings that use much less energy, that are much more energy-efficient. And I know that with Shanghai, as I traveled and I saw all the cranes and all the new buildings that are going up, it's very important for us to start incorporating these new technologies so that each building is energy-efficient when it comes to lighting, when it comes to heating. And so it's a terrific opportunity I think for us to learn from each other.
在美國，我想我們正在學習建造使用更少能源、節能效率更高的建筑。而我知道，就上海來說——我一路過來看到那么多起重機和那么多正在建造中的新樓房，我們開始吸收這些新技術十分重要，從而將使每幢大樓在照明方面、在取暖方面都做到節能。因此我認為這是一個向彼此學習的很好的機會。
