Speech at the Official Welcoming Ceremony for President Hu Jintao
Good morning, everyone.President Hu, members of the Chinese delegation, on behalf of Michelle and myself, welcome to the White House.And on behalf of the American people, welcome to the United States.大家早上好！胡主席、中国代表团成员们，我谨代表米歇尔和我自己欢迎你们来到白宫，并代表美国人民欢迎你们来到美国。
Three decades ago, on a January day like this,another American President stood here and welcomed another Chinese leader for the historic normalization of relations between the United States and the People’s Republic of China.On that day, Deng Xiaoping spoke of the great poibilities of cooperation between our two nations.
30年前，在像今天这样的一个1月的日子里，另一位美国总统站在这里欢迎另一位中国领导人，标志着美国和中华人民共和国关系正常化的历史时刻。在那一天，邓小平谈到了我们两国间巨大的合作机会。
Looking back on that winter day in 1979,it is now clear.The previous 30 years had been a time of estrangement for our two countries.The 30 years since have been a time of growing exchanges and understanding.And with this visit we can lay the foundation for the next 30 years.回首1979年那个冬日，现在一切都非常清晰。在那之前的30年是我们两国关系的僵持时期。在那之后的30年是交流与理解不断发展的时期。胡主席的此次访问能够让我们为未来30年奠定基础。
At a time when some doubt the benefits of cooperation between the United States and China,this visit is also a chance to demonstrate a simple truth.We have an enormous stake in each other’s succe.In an interconnected world,in a global economy,nationswill be more prosperous and more secure when we work together.正当有人怀疑美中两国间的合作是否有利的时候展开的此次访问，也提供了展示一个简单事实的机会。我们与对方的成功利益攸关。在一个相互依存的世界、在全球经济中，如果我们齐心协力，各国—包括我国—将会更加繁荣、更加安全。
The United States welcomes China’s rise as a strong, prosperous and succeful member of the community of nations.Indeed,China’s succe has brought with it economic benefits for our people as well as yours,and our cooperation on a range of iues has helped advance stability in the Asia Pacific and in the world.美国欢迎中国崛起成为国际大家庭中的一个强大、繁荣、成功的成员。事实上，中国的成功已经既给你们的人民，也给我国人民带来了经济好处；我们在一系列问题上的合作帮助增进了亚太地区和世界的稳定。
We also know this:History shows that societies are more harmonious,nations are more succeful,and the world is more just,when the rights and responsibilities of all nations and all people are upheld,including the universal rights of every human being.我们也很清楚：历史表明，当各国的权利和责任、各国人民的权利—包括每个人的普世权利—得到维护时，社会就更和谐、国家就更繁荣、世界就更公正。
Mr.President,we can learn from our people.Chinese and American students and educators,busine people, tourists, researchers and scientists,including Chinese Americans who are here today —they work together and make progre together every single day.They know that even as our nations compete in some areas, we can cooperate in so many others, in a spirit of mutual respect,for our mutual benefit.主席先生，我们可以向我们的人民学习。中国和美国的学生和教育工作者、商界人士、旅游者、研究人员和科学家，包括今天在场的华裔美国人—他们一道努力，每天都在共同取得进步。他们知道，虽然我们两国在某些领域相互竞争，但我们能够在其他那么多领域本着相互尊重的精神，为着我们的共同利益而合作。
What Deng Xiaoping said long ago remains true today.There are still great poibilities for cooperation between our countries.President Hu,members of the Chinese delegation,let us seize these poibilities together.Welcome to the United States of America.Hwan-ying.邓小平多年前所说的话今天依然正确。我们两国之间仍然有着巨大的合作机会。胡主席、中国代表团成员们，让我们共同抓住这些机会。欢迎你们来到美利坚合众国，欢迎！

Our cooperation as partners should be based on joint efforts to meet challenges.China and the United States should step up communication and coordination in international affairs,work together to counter the global challenges, and make a greater contribution to world peace and development.中美伙伴合作应该基于人民广泛参与。中美两国人民相互怀有深厚的友好感情，曾经在决定人类前途命运的重大历史关头并肩战斗。两国人民应该扩大交往、加强友谊，为中美关系发展提供不竭动力。
