奥巴马就美国政府恢复运作讲话 简介：当地时间10月17日凌晨，白宫宣布，结束政府部分关门危机和避免债务违约的议案已由美国总统奥巴马签署成为法律。这标志着已经持续16天的联邦政府部分关门危机就此结束。美国总统奥巴马在白宫发表讲话时呼吁国会开始更有成效的工作。 　　Good morning, everybody. Please have a seat. 　　各位上午好。请入座。 　　Well, last night, I signed legislation to reopen our government and pay America’s bills. Because Democrats and responsible Republicans came together, the first government shutdown in 17 years is now over. The first default in more than 200 years will not happen. These twin threats to our economy have now been lifted. And I want to thank those Democrats and Republicans for getting together and ultimately getting this job done. 　　昨晚，我已签署法案，让我国政府恢复运作并支付美国的债务。在民主党人和负责任的共和党人的共同努力下，17年来政府的首次关闭已经结束。200多年来有可能首次发生的违约已经避免。我们的经济所面临的这两重威胁已被解除。我想感谢那些齐心协力并最终完成这项工作的民主党人和共和党人。 　　Now, there’s been a lot of discussion lately of the politics of this shutdown. But let’s be clear: There are no winners here. These last few weeks have inflicted completely unnecessary damage on our economy. We don’t know yet the full scope of the damage, but every analyst out there believes it slowed our growth. 　　近来，这次政府关闭的政治问题成为人们大量谈论的话题。但是，让我们明确一点：这里没有赢者。最近几个星期，我国经济遭受了完全没有必要的损失。我们还不清楚损失整体达到了什么程度，但每一位分析人士都认为我们的增长被延缓。 　We know that families have gone without paychecks or services they depend on. We know that potential homebuyers have gotten fewer mortgages, and small business loans have been put on hold. We know that consumers have cut back on spending, and that half of all CEOs say that the shutdown and the threat of shutdown set back their plans to hire over the next six months. We know that just the threat of default -- of America not paying all the bills that we owe on time -- increased our borrowing costs, which adds to our deficit. 　　我们知道，家家户户得不到他们所依靠的薪资支票或服务。我们知道，准备买房的人得到的抵押贷款缩减，企业贷款被扣发。我们知道，消费者削减了支出，半数公司首席执行长表示，政府关闭和关闭的危险导致他们推迟今后6个月的雇人计划。我们知道，仅仅面临违约的危险一事 – 美国无法按时支付所欠的全部债务—就增加了我们的借贷成本，为我们的赤字雪上加霜。 　　And, of course, we know that the American people’s frustration with what goes on in this town has never been highe
