[現場提問]
問：我提的這個問題來自互聯網。我要謝謝總統先生在您任期內第一年訪問中國，在中國與我們交換意見。我想知道您這次訪問中國給中國帶來什么，您又將帶什么回美國？（掌聲）
Q I want to pose a question from the Internet. I want to thank you, Mr. President, for visiting China in your first year in office, and exchange views with us in China. I want to know what are you bringing to China, your visit to China this time, and what will you bring back to the United States? (Applause.)
PRESIDENT OBAMA: The main purpose of my trip is to deepen my understanding of China and its vision for the future. I have had several meetings now with President Hu. We participated together in the G20 that was dealing with the economic financial crisis. We have had consultations about a wide range of issues. But I think it's very important for the United States to continually deepen its understanding of China, just as it's important for China to continually deepen its understanding of the United States.
奧巴馬總統：我這次訪問的主要目的是，加深了解中國以及中國對未來的展望。我與胡主席已經有多次會晤。我們共同參加了應對經濟金融危機的20國集團會議。我們就一系列廣泛議題進行了磋商。但是我認為，美國繼續加深對中國的了解非常重要，正如中國也同樣需要繼續加深了解美國。
In terms of what I'd like to get out of this meeting, or this visit, in addition to having the wonderful opportunity to see the Forbidden City and the Great Wall, and to meet with all of you -- these are all highlights -- but in addition to that, the discussions that I intend to have with President Hu speak to the point that Ambassador Huntsman made earlier, which is there are very few global challenges that can be solved unless the United States and China agree.
至于我希望從這次會晤或從這次訪問中看到什么成果，除了借這個絕好的機會參觀故宮和長城，并與在座的各位見面——這些都是主要內容——我還打算與胡主席討論一個要點，也就是洪博培大使前面談到的，沒有美國和中國的共識，就無法戰勝多少全球性的挑戰。
So let me give you a specific example, and that is the issue we were just discussing of climate change. The United States and China are the world's two largest emitters of greenhouse gases, of carbon that is causing the planet to warm. Now, the United States, as a highly developed country, as I said before, per capita, consumes much more energy and emits much more greenhouse gases for each individual than does China. On the other hand, China is growing at a much faster pace and it has a much larger population. So unless both of our countries are willing to take critical steps in dealing with this issue, we will not be able to resolve it.
我來舉一個具體例子，這就是我們剛剛談到的氣候變化問題。美國和中國是世界上最大的兩個溫室氣體放排及碳排放國，這種排放導致地球變暖。如我在前面所說，美國作為一個高度發達的國家，人均能源消耗量和溫室氣體排放量比中國高得多。另一方面，中國的增長速度更快，人口更多。因此，除非我們兩國有意愿在這個問題上采取關鍵步驟，否則我們就無法解決這個問題。
