作为美国人，我们对正义有深刻的承诺---因此没必要在每个囚犯身上花300万美元来维持一所监狱。这所监狱不仅遭到全世界谴责，而且被恐怖份子作为招募理由。自从我出任总统以来，我们负责任地把关塔纳摩湾拘留营中的人数减少了一半，现在是完成这项工作的时候了，我将毫不迟疑地关闭这个拘留营，因为这不符合我们的原则。
As Americans, we have a profound commitment to justice. So it makes no sense to spend $3 million per prisoner to keep open a prison that the world condemns and terrorists use to recruit. （Applause.） Since I've been President, we've worked responsibly to cut the population of Gitmo in half. Now it is time to finish the job. And I will not relent in my determination to shut it down. It is not who we are. It's time to close Gitmo.
作为美国人，我们珍视民权。如果我们想在打击恐怖网络的战争中得到其他国家和行业最大限度的合作，我们就必须坚持这一承诺。因此，虽然有些人已经结束了有关我们情报项目的争论，可是我还没有。正如我们所承诺的那样，我们的情报机构努力工作，根据民间机构的建议增加了透明度，建立了更多的防止滥用权力的保障机制，下个月，我们将发布一项报告，介绍我们如何在保持对国家安全承诺的同时保障个人隐私。
As Americans, we cherish our civil liberties, and we need to uphold that commitment if we want maximum cooperation from other countries and industry in our fight against terrorist networks. So while some have moved on from the debates over our surveillance programs, I have not. As promised, our intelligence agencies have worked hard, with the recommendations of privacy advocates, to increase transparency and build more safeguards against potential abuse. And next month, we'll issue a report on how we're keeping our promise to keep our country safe while strengthening privacy.
我们要向前看，而不是往后看；要结合运用实力与外交，明智地使用武力；要建立联盟来迎接新的挑战和机遇，永远以自己的价值观作为榜样，发挥领导作用。我们因此而与众不同，我们因此而强大。因此，我们必须努力坚持最高的标准——我们自己的标准。
Looking to the future instead of the past. Making sure we match our power with diplomacy, and use force wisely. Building coalitions to meet new challenges and opportunities. Leading -- always -- with the example of our values. That's what makes us exceptional. That's what keeps us strong. That's why we have to keep striving to hold ourselves to the highest of standards -- our own.
大家知道，仅仅是在十年之前，我在波士顿发表了一篇讲演，我在讲演中称不存在自由派美国或者保守派美国，黑人的美国或者白人的美国，只有一个美国。我说这样的话是因为我在自己的生活中看到这一点，在这样一个给了像我这样的人一个机会的国家，因为我在夏威夷长大，那是种族和风俗的熔炉。因为我在伊利诺斯州安家，那是一个由小型城镇、富有的农场、世界最伟大城市之一组成的州。它是民主党人、共和党人、独立派人士、各种民族和信仰的好人共享的一些坚定价值观的微观世界。
You know, just over a decade ago, I gave a speech in Boston where I said there wasn't a liberal America or a conservative America; a black America or a white America -- but a United States of America. I said this because I had seen it in my own life, in a nation that gave someone like me a chance; because I grew up in Hawaii, a melting pot of races and customs; because I made Illinois my home -- a state of small towns, rich farmland, one of the world's great cities; a microcosm of the country where Democrats and Republicans and Independents, good people of every ethnicity and every faith, share certain bedrock values.
在过去六年，所谓的智者不止一次指出，我的总统任期并没能实现那一愿景。他们称，我们的政治看上去更加分裂，这是多么具有讽刺性。它还被当作不仅仅是我个人缺点的一个证据，我有许多缺点，还被当作这样的愿景本身是被误导的、天真的的证据，华盛顿有太多人事实上从两党之争和僵局中获利，而非为之做些什么。
Over the past six years, the pundits have pointed out more than once that my presidency hasn't delivered on this vision. How ironic, they say, that our politics seems more divided than ever. It's held up as proof not just of my own flaws -- of which there are many -- but also as proof that the vision itself is misguided, na?ve, that there are too many people in this town who actually benefit from partisanship and gridlock for us to ever do anything about it.
我知道这样的愤世嫉俗主义是多么诱人，但我认为这些愤世嫉俗者是错的。我仍相信我们是一个民族，我仍相信，我们一起可以做伟大的事情，即便机会很渺茫。
I know how tempting such cynicism may be. But I still think the cynics are wrong. I still believe that we are one people. I still believe that together, we can do great things, even when the odds are long. （Applause.）
我相信这一点，因为我在任的六年里，我多次看到美国最好的时刻。我看到了从纽约至加州的年轻毕业生充满希望的脸，我们在西点军校、安纳波利斯、科多拉多州斯伯林斯、新伦敦新军官充满希望的脸。我在图桑市、纽顿镇、波士顿、威斯特西弗吉尼州等地和悲痛的家人们一起哀悼。我看到美国人从墨西哥海湾至北美大平原，从中西部的组装线到中大西洋海床击退灾难。我看到像同性恋婚姻这样原先使我们分裂的议题转变成我们国家各地自由的故事，同性恋者现在已能够在十分之七的美国各州合法结婚。
I believe this because over and over in my six years in office, I have seen America at its best. I've seen the hopeful faces of young graduates from New York to California, and our newest officers at West Point, Annapolis, Colorado Springs, New London. I've mourned with grieving families in Tucson and Newtown, in Boston, in West Texas, and West Virginia. I've watched Americans beat back adversity from the Gulf Coast to the Great Plains, from Midwest assembly lines to the Mid-Atlantic seaboard. I've seen something like gay marriage go from a wedge issue used to drive us apart to a story of freedom across our country, a civil right now legal in states that seven in 10 Americans call home.
