奥巴马2013 年9月21日演讲译文 Hi, everybody.? It was five years ago this week that a financial crisis on Wall Street spread to Main Street, and very nearly turned a recession into a depression. 大家好。五年前的这一周华尔街的金融危机波及“主大街”，几乎把大衰退演变成大萧条。 In a matter of months, millions of Americans were robbed of their jobs, their homes, their savings – after a decade in which they’d already been working harder and harder to just get by. 也就是几个月的功夫，几百万美国人的工作、房子和存款都不翼而飞—他们经过十年比以往更加辛勤的工作却落得个难以维系生活了。 It was a crisis from which we’re still trying to recover.? But thanks to the grit and determination of the American people, we are steadily recovering. 我们仍然在努力走出这次危机。多亏了美国人民的刚毅和决心，我们正在稳步走出危机。 Over the past three and a half years, our businesses have created seven and a half million new jobs. Our housing market is healing. We’ve become less dependent on foreign oil.? Health care costs are growing at the slowest rate in 50 years.? And in just over a week, millions of Americans without health care will be able to get covered for less than $100 a month. 在过去的三年半里，我们的企业已经创造了七百五十万个新就业机会。我们的房地产市场正在回暖。我们已经减少了对进口石油的依赖。医疗费用在以五十年来最低的速度增长。也就是一周的时间，几百万没有医保的美国人就能享受每个月不超过100美元的医保。 So our economy is gaining traction. And we’re finally tackling threats to middle-class prosperity that Washington neglected for far too long.? But as any middle-class family listening right now knows, we’ve got a long way to go to get to where we need to be.? And after five years spent digging out of crisis, the last thing we need is for Washington to manufacture another. 所以我们的经济越来越有动力了。我们将最终解除华盛顿长期视而不见的对中产阶级财产的危险。但是正如现在正在聆听的中产阶级家庭所知，我们绕了一个大弯子来达到目的。经过五年艰苦的走出危机的努力，我们最后的一件事成了华盛顿制造另一场危机。 But that’s what will happen in the next few weeks if Congress doesn’t meet two deadlines. 但是在只能在国会不能遵守两个底线的情况下才会在几周后发生。 First: the most basic Constitutional duty Congress has is passing a budget.? But if it doesn’t pass one before September 30th – a week from Monday – the government will shut down.? And so will many services the American people expect.? Military
