英汉对照：奥巴马 20XX年10月19日演讲 Hi everybody. This week, because Democrats and responsible Republicans came together, the government was reopened, and the threat of default was removed from our economy. 大家好。本周，因为民主党人和负责任的共和党人齐心 协力，联邦政府重新开放了，我们的经济赖账的威胁也解除 了。 There's been a lot of discussion lately of the politics of this shutdown.

Specifically, there are three places where I believe that Democrats and Republicans can work together right away. 这绝非易事。但是我们可以始于足下。特别是我认为有 三个领域民主党人和共和党人马上就可以齐心协力去做。 First, we should sit down and pursue a balanced approach to a responsible budget, one that grows our economy faster and shrinks our long-term deficits further.

So we ' re making a serious mistake if a budget doesn' t focus on what you re focused on: creating more good jobs that pay better wages. If we ' re going to free up resources for the things that help us grow - education, infrastructure, research - we should cut what we don' t need, and close corporate tax loopholes that don ' t help create jobs. This shouldn ' t be a
