[00:00.01]Hi, everybody. 
大家好！
[00:01.42]Nearly six years after the worst financial crisis of our lifetimes, our businesses have added nearly 10 million new jobs over the past 53 months. 
6年前,我们遭遇了此生最严重的经济危机，经过53个月的努力，我们的企业已经创造了将近1000万个就业岗位。
[00:10.22]That's the longest streak of private-sector job creation in our history. 
这是历史上私营企业所取得的最好的成绩。
[00:14.53]And we're in a six-month streak with our economy creating at least 200,000 new jobs each month-the first time that's happened since 1997.
而最近连续6个月，每月新增就业岗位也超过20万个，这一成绩自1997年之后就没出现过。
[00:21.46]Thanks to the decisions we made to rescue and rebuild our economy, and your hard work and resilience, America is leading again. 
这些成绩来自于我们恢复和重建经济的决定，也来自于大家的不辞辛劳和坚强不屈的精神。美国又一次领先了！
[00:31.10]Areas like manufacturing, energy, technology, and autos are all booming. 
制造业、能源业、科技领域和汽车行业都开始兴旺发达。
[00:36.29]And here's the thing: we're selling more goods Made in America to the rest of the world than ever before. 
这使得我们将美国制造的产品卖到全球各地，
[00:43.09]American exports are at an all-time high.
美国的出口也达到历史新高。
[00:46.45]Over the past five years, we've worked hard to open new markets for our businesses, and to help them compete on a level playing field in those markets. 
过去5年时间里，我们努力为企业打开新的市场，帮助他们在这些地方取得竞争力。
[00:54.45]And we've broken records for exports four years running. 
我们的出口连续四年创出新高。
[00:58.22]Last year, our exports supported more than 11 million American jobs-about 1.6 million more than when I took office. 
去年，出口行业提供了1100万个就业岗位，比我刚主政的时候增加了160万个。
[01:05.56]They're good jobs that typically pay about 15% more than the national average. 
这些工作岗位待遇丰厚，工资比全国平均水平高出15%。
[01:10.25]And more small businesses are selling their goods abroad than ever before-nearly 300,000 last year alone.
而且还有越来越多的中小企业把产品卖到国外，仅去年一年就达到30万家。
[01:17.48]We should be doing everything we can to accelerate this progress, not stall it.
现在，我们应该尽一切努力推动这一趋势继续向前发展，而不是阻止其发展。
[01:22.40]One place to start is by supporting something called the U.S.
其中有一件事情就是支持美国进出口银行。事实也是如此。
[01:26.12]It helps many American entrepreneurs take that next step and take their small business global. 
该银行帮助众多美国企业家发展，将他们的小企业推向全球。
[01:37.38]But next month, its charter will expire-unless Members of Congress do their job and reauthorize it.
但下个月，这些帮助就没有了，除非国会议员们通过法案对该银行重新授权。
[01:44.33]Now, past Congresses have done this 16 times, always with support from both parties. 
过去，国会曾16次对该银行进行重授权，每次都能得到两党的共同支持。
[01:49.37]Republican and Democratic Presidents have supported the bank, too. 
无论是民主党还是共和党的总统也都支持该银行。
[01:53.13]This time around shouldn't be any different. 
而这一次本不应该有什么变数。
[01:55.02]Because the bank works. It's independent. It pays for itself. 
因为这家银行的工作卓有成效，而且是独立运行，自负盈亏。
[01:59.58]But if Congress fails to act, thousands of businesses, large and small, that sell their products abroad will take a completely unnecessary hit.
但如果国会不通过法案授权，成千上万的企业，无论大小，只要他们有海外业务，都会受到不必要的冲击。
[02:09.05]Small business owners have had to overcome a lot these past several years. 
中小企业主在过去的这些年里克服了种种困难。
[02:12.49]We all saw local businesses close their doors during the crisis. 
我们也看到了，在经济危机期间，大量地方企业关门歇业。
[02:16.15]And in the past few years, we've seen more and more open their doors and do their part to help lead America's comeback. 
而最近几年，我们也看到越来越多的企业又重新开张，努力做好自己的事，也帮助美国复苏。
[02:22.42]At the very least, they deserve a Congress that doesn't stand in the way of their success.
因此，国会不应该成为他们去往成功道路上的绊脚石，这是毋庸置疑的。
[02:28.23]Your members of Congress are home this month. 
这个月，各位所在地方的议员还在家乡休假。
[02:30.53]If you're a small business owner or employee of a large business that depends on financing to tackle new markets and create new jobs, 
如果你是中小企业主或大企业的雇员，只要你们在开拓海外市场扩大业务方面需要资金支持，你们就应该支持进出口银行，
[02:38.11]tell them to quit treating your business like it's expendable, and start treating it for what it is: vital to America's success. 
告诉这些议员，别不把你们的企业不当回事儿，你们的企业对美国的进步至关重要，告诉他们认真对待。
[02:47.39]Tell them to do their jobs-keep America's exports growing, and keep America's recovery going.
告诉他们做好自己的工作，让美国的出口继续增长，让美国复苏的步伐永不止步。
[02:54.11]Thanks, and have a great weekend.
谢谢大家，祝你们周末愉快。
