美国总统奥巴马在韩国外国语大学发表演讲 PRESIDENT OBAMA: Thank you. (Applause.) Thank you so much. Thank you. (Applause.) Please, thank you very much. 欧巴马总统：谢谢你们。（掌声）非常感谢。谢谢。（掌声）非常感谢。 To President Park, faculty, staff and students, thank you so much for this very warm welcome. It is a great honor to be here at Hankuk University of Foreign Studies. (Applause.) I want to thank Dr. Park for, a few moments ago, making me an honorary alumni of the university. (Applause.) 朴（Park）校长、教职员工和同学们，非常感谢你们这么热情的欢迎。来到韩国外国语大学（Hankuk University of Foreign Studies）令我深感荣幸。（掌声）我要感谢朴博士刚才宣布我为贵校的荣誉校友。 I know that this school has one of the world’s finest foreign language programs -- which means that your English is much better than my Korean. (Laughter.) All I can say is kamsa hamnida. (Applause.) 我知道贵校拥有世界上最好的外语学习项目之一，这就是说你们的英语比我的韩语要好得多。（笑声）我只能说kamsa hamnida（韩文，意为“谢谢”）。（掌声） Now, this is my third visit to the Republic of Korea as President.

That includes our first Korean-American ambassador to the Republic of Korea -- Ambassador Sung Kim.

I’ve seen it so many patriotic Korean Americans, including a man born in this city of Seoul, who came to America and has dedicated his life to lifting up the poor and sick of the world. And last week I was proud to nominate him to lead the World Bank -- Dr. Jim Yong Kim. (Applause.) 我在自己的生活中看到了我们两国人民之间根深叶茂的联系——在朋友和同事中间。我看到，有如此多的爱国的美国韩裔——包括一个出生在首尔市的人——到美国后毕生致力于帮助世界上的穷人和病人摆脱
