2015奥巴马演讲两党共同努力促进经济发展.docVIP

Hi, everybody. Over the past couple months, most of the political headlines you’ve read have probably been about the government shutdown and the launch of the Affordable Care Act. And I know that many of you have rightly never been more frustrated with Washington. 大家好！过去几个月，你们读到的多数政治新闻，很可能与政府关门和《平价医疗法案》推出有关。我知道，你们中许多人，有充分的理由对华盛顿感到前所未有的失望。 But if you look beyond those headlines, there are some good things happening in our economy. And that’s been my top priority since the day I walked into the Oval Office. 但是，除了这些新闻，你们还是可以看到，在我们的经济中，有一些好的事情发生。这也一直是我自就任美国总统以来的首要任务。 After decades in which the middle class was working harder and harder just to keep up, and a punishing recession that made it worse, we made the tough choices required not just to recover from crisis, but to rebuild on a new foundation for stronger, more durable economic growth. 过去几十年，中产阶级日甚一日地努力工作，只是为了能坚持下去，严重的经济衰退令形势更加严峻，我们做出艰难选择，我们所需要的不只是从危机中恢复，还要为更为强劲、更为持久的经济增长奠定基础。 Five years later, we have fought our way back.

And they’re leading the charge in a manufacturing sector that has added jobs for the first time since the 1990s – a big reason why our businesses sell more goods and services “Made in America” than ever before. 美国汽车工业重振旗鼓，创造了35万个新工作——都是些大量生产和销售全球都想要的高技术、省油汽车的工作。他们正领导自上世纪九十年代以来首次增加工作的制造部门的冲锋——正是这一理由，我们的企业卖出的“美国制造”商品和服务，比历史上任何时候都要多。 We decided to reverse our addiction to foreign oil. And today, we generate more renewable energy than ever, more natural gas than anybody, and for the first time in nearly 20 years, America now produces more oil than we buy from other countries. 我们决定扭转我们对海外石油的依赖局面。如今，我们生产的可再生能源比任何时候都多，我们生产的天然气比任何国家都多，近20年来第一次，美国生产
