[00:00.43]My fellow Americans, 
美国同胞们，
[00:02.57]tonight I want to speak to you about what the United States will do with our friends and allies to degrade and ultimately destroy the terrorist group known as ISIL.
今晚我想同你们谈谈美国与我们的朋友、盟国将做些什么来削弱并最终摧毁被称为ISIL的恐怖组织。
[00:11.51]As Commander-in-Chief, my highest priority is the security of the American people. 
作为总司令，我最先考虑的是美国人民的安全。
[00:17.51]Over the last several years, we have consistently taken the fight to terrorists who threaten our country. 
最近几年里，我们一直在同威胁我们国家的恐怖分子作战：
[00:24.21]We took out Osama bin Laden and much of al Qaeda's leadership in Afghanistan and Pakistan. 
在阿富汗和巴基斯坦，我们清除了奥萨马・本・拉登和许多阿・盖达组织的领导人；
[00:30.02]We've targeted al Qaeda's affiliate in Yemen, and recently eliminated the top commander of its affiliate in Somalia. 
我们定点打击了阿・盖达在也门的分支机构；而最近，又清除了它在索马里的分支机构的最高指挥官。
[00:37.25]We've done so while bringing more than 140,000 American troops home from Iraq, and drawing down our forces in Afghanistan, where our combat mission will end later this year. 
在取得这些成果的同时，我们让14万美国军队从伊拉克回国，并且从阿富汗撤回我们的部队―今年晚些时候，我们将结束在那儿的战斗任务。
[00:48.36]Thanks to our military and counterterrorism professionals, America is safer. 
感谢我们的军队和我们的反恐专家们，美国比过去更为安全。
[00:55.48]Still, we continue to face a terrorist threat. 
尽管如此，我们依然面临着恐怖分子的威胁。
[00:59.53]We can't erase every trace of evil from the world, and small groups of killers have the capacity to do great harm. 
我们不能抹去世上所有邪恶，而一小群杀手便有能力造成巨大的伤害，
[01:08.32]That was the case before 9/11, and that remains true today. 
911事件之前是这样，今天依然如此。
[01:11.04]And that's why we must remain vigilant as threats emerge. 
这就是为什么我们必须对威胁的出现保持警惕。
[01:16.33]At this moment, the greatest threats come from the Middle East and North Africa, 
此时此刻，最大的威胁来自中东与北非。
[01:20.38]where radical groups exploit grievances for their own gain. 
在那里，极端组织煽动人们的怨愤来达到自己的目的。
[01:24.13]And one of those groups is ISIL―which calls itself the "Islamic State."
ISIL就是那些组织中的一个，它自称是“伊斯兰国”
[01:30.18]Now let's make two things clear:  
现在让我们弄清两件事情：
[01:32.39]ISIL is not "Islamic." No religion condones the killing of innocents. 
ISIL不是伊斯兰教。没有任何宗教会容忍滥杀无辜， 
[01:37.52]And the vast majority of ISIL's victims have been Muslim. 
而绝大多数ISIL的牺牲品都是穆斯林。
[01:40.55]And ISIL is certainly not a state. 
ISIL也不是一个国家。
[01:44.58]It was formerly al Qaeda's affiliate in Iraq, 
它曾经是阿・盖达组织在伊拉克的一个分支机构，
[01:47.40]and has taken advantage of sectarian strife and Syria's civil war to gain territory on both sides of the Iraq-Syrian border. 
只是乘伊拉克教派冲突和叙利亚内战之机，在伊拉克与叙利亚边境地区占据了一块地盘。
[01:56.56]It is recognized by no government, nor by the people it subjugates. 
它没有得到任何政府的承认，也不被它所控制的人民所认可。
[02:02.40]ISIL is a terrorist organization, pure and simple. 
ISIL是一个地地道道的恐怖组织，
[02:06.01]And it has no vision other than the slaughter of all who stand in its way.
它没有任何前途，除非它能杀尽所有挡道的人。
[02:11.34]In a region that has known so much bloodshed, these terrorists are unique in their brutality. 
在一个众所周知如此血腥的地区，这些恐怖分子的残忍可谓登峰造极。
[02:16.44]They execute captured prisoners. They kill children. 
他们处死战俘，杀害儿童，
[02:23.03]They enslave, rape, and force women into marriage. 
奴役、强奸妇女并强迫她们结婚。
[02:26.21]They threatened a religious minority with genocide. 
他们用屠杀来威胁宗教少数派。
[02:30.40]And in acts of barbarism, they took the lives of two American journalists―Jim Foley and Steven Sotloff.
在一次野蛮的行动中，他们夺走了两名美国新闻记者―吉姆・弗雷与史蒂文・索特洛夫―的生命。
[02:36.55]So ISIL poses a threat to the people of Iraq and Syria, and the broader Middle East―including American citizens, personnel and facilities. 
因而，ISIL已成为一个威胁―对伊拉克、叙利亚以及泛中东地区人民，包括美国公民，美国在那里的公职人员与机构。
[02:47.36]If left unchecked, these terrorists could pose a growing threat beyond that region, including to the United States. 
如果任其发展不加遏制，它的威胁将溢出那个地区，甚至包括美国。
[02:56.50]While we have not yet detected specific plotting against our homeland, ISIL leaders have threatened America and our allies. 
尽管目前尚未发现针对美国本土的阴谋，但ISIL的领导人已经威胁美国和我们的盟友。
[03:03.25]Our Intelligence Community believes that thousands of foreigners― including Europeans and some Americans―have joined them in Syria and Iraq. 
我们的情报部门相信，有几千名外国人―包括欧洲人和一些美国人―已经在叙利亚和伊拉克加入ISIL，
[03:13.20]Trained and battle-hardened, these fighters could try to return to their home countries and carry out deadly attacks.
经过训练与战争的淬炼，这些战士可能试图返回他们的祖国，实施致命的攻击。
[03:22.19]I know many Americans are concerned about these threats. 
我知道，许多美国人在关注这些威胁。
[03:25.46]Tonight, I want you to know that the United States of America is meeting them with strength and resolve. 
今晚，我要你们明白，美利坚合众国正在用实力与决心回击这些威胁。
[03:33.24]Last month, I ordered our military to take targeted action against ISIL to stop its advances. 
上个月，我命令我们的军队对ISIL实施定点袭击遏止它的攻势。
[03:39.42]Since then, we've conducted more than 150 successful airstrikes in Iraq.
从那时起，我们在伊拉克实施了150多次成功的空袭。
[03:44.43]These strikes have protected American personnel and facilities, killed ISIL fighters, destroyed weapons, and given space for Iraqi and Kurdish forces to reclaim key territory. 
这些空袭保护了美国的人员与机构，杀死了ISIL的战士，摧毁了他们的武器装备，为伊拉克与库尔德武装力量收复关键地区打开了空间。
[03:57.02]These strikes have also helped save the lives of thousands of innocent men, women and children. 
这些空袭还帮助拯救了成千上万无辜的男人女人与儿童的生命。
[04:03.58]But this is not our fight alone. 
然而，这不是我们独自在战斗。
[04:06.30]American power can make a decisive difference, but we cannot do for Iraqis what they must do for themselves, 
美国的力量的确举足轻重，但我们不能做伊拉克人自己必须去做的事情，
[04:13.36]nor can we take the place of Arab partners in securing their region. 
我们也不能替阿位伯伙伴去保证他们的地区安全。
[04:19.21]And that's why I've insisted that additional U.S. action depended upon Iraqis forming an inclusive government, 
这就是为什么，我要坚持，美国的进一步行动必须以伊拉克人能够组建更为包容的政府为前提
[04:26.32]which they have now done in recent days.  
他们已在最近几天组建了这样的政府。
[04:29.08]So tonight, with a new Iraqi government in place, and following consultations with allies abroad and Congress at home, 
所以今晚，在同新的伊拉克政府以及随后同我们海外的盟友、美国国会的磋商后，
[04:36.28]I can announce that America will lead a broad coalition to roll back this terrorist threat.
我可以宣告，美国将领导一个广泛的联盟以击退这个恐怖威胁。
[04:44.00]Our objective is clear: 
我们的目标明确：
[04:45.57]We will degrade, and ultimately destroy, ISIL through a comprehensive and sustained counterterrorism strategy.
我们将运用全面持续的反恐战略打击、瓦解并最终摧毁ISIL。
[04:52.44]First, we will conduct a systematic campaign of airstrikes against these terrorists. 
首先，我们将实施一系列的空袭打击恐怖分子。
[05:00.24]Working with the Iraqi government, we will expand our efforts beyond protecting our own people and humanitarian missions, 
与伊拉克政府合作，我们将提升我们的战争努力，使之超越只保护我们的人民和人道救援的范围，
[05:06.58]so that we're hitting ISIL targets as Iraqi forces go on offense. 
因而当伊拉克部队展开攻势时我们将打击ISIL的目标。
[05:12.12]Moreover, I have made it clear that we will hunt down terrorists who threaten our country, wherever they are. 
此外，我已清楚表明，我们将追捕那些曾经威胁过美国的恐怖分子，不管他们逃到哪里。
[05:17.37]That means I will not hesitate to take action against ISIL in Syria, as well as Iraq. 
这就意味着，跟在伊拉克一样，我们将毫不犹豫地对叙利亚境内的ISIL采取行动。
[05:23.49]This is a core principle of my presidency: 
这是我总统任期内一条核心原则：
[05:26.24]If you threaten America, you will find no safe haven. 
如果你曾经威胁美国，你就没有安全的藏身之所。
[05:32.56]Second, we will increase our support to forces fighting these terrorists on the ground. 
第二，我们将增加对在地面与恐怖分子交战的部队的支援。
[05:38.42]In June, I deployed several hundred American servicemembers to Iraq to assess how we can best support Iraqi security forces. 
在六月份，我派遣几百名美国现役军人去伊拉克，对我们怎样才能更好地支持伊拉克安全部队作出评估。
[05:45.59]Now that those teams have completed their work―and Iraq has formed a government―we will send an additional 475 servicemembers to Iraq. 
既然那些小组已经完成他们的评估任务，而伊拉克新政府也已成立，我们将派遣另外475名现役军人去伊拉克。
[05:52.33]As I have said before, these American forces will not have a combat mission ―we will not get dragged into another ground war in Iraq.  
像我以前说过的那样，这些美国军人没有战斗任务―我们不会被拖进在伊拉克的另一场地面战争
[06:03.28]But they are needed to support Iraqi and Kurdish forces with training, intelligence and equipment. 
但他们必须在军队训练、情报工作、装备维护等方面给伊拉克和库尔德部队以帮助。
[06:10.28]We'll also support Iraq's efforts to stand up National Guard Units to help Sunni communities secure their own freedom from ISIL's control.
我们还将支持伊拉克维护国家卫队的努力，帮助逊尼派摆脱ISIL的控制以保护自己的自由。
[06:19.37]Across the border, in Syria, we have ramped up our military assistance to the Syrian opposition. 
越过边境，在叙利亚，我们增加了对叙利亚反对派的军事援助。
[06:24.33]Tonight, I call on Congress again to give us additional authorities and resources to train and equip these fighters. 
今晚，我再一次呼吁国会给我们额外的授权和资源，去训练和武装这些战士。
[06:35.15]In the fight against ISIL, we cannot rely on an Assad regime that terrorizes its own people
在反对ISIL的战斗中，我们不能依赖以恐怖来统治自己人民的阿萨德政权
[06:41.20]a regime that will never regain the legitimacy it has lost. 
一个再也无法重获它已失去的合法性的政权。
[06:45.10]Instead, we must strengthen the opposition as the best counterweight to extremists like ISIL, 
取而代之，我们必须加强反对派的力量，使之成为对付像ISIL一样的极端主义分子的最好平衡；
[06:51.09]while pursuing the political solution necessary to solve Syria's crisis once and for all. 
与此同时，寻求解决叙利亚危机所必须的一劳永逸的政治解决方案。
[06:57.43]Third, we will continue to draw on our substantial counterterrorism capabilities to prevent ISIL attacks. 
第三，我们将继续利用我们强大的反恐能力来遏止ISIL的攻势。
[07:05.06]Working with our partners, we will redouble our efforts to cut off its funding; 
和我们的伙伴一道，我们将加倍努力，切断它的资金来源，
[07:10.26]improve our intelligence; strengthen our defenses; counter its warped ideology; 
改善我们的情报工作，加强我们的防御准备，揭露它扭曲的意识形态，
[07:15.25]and stem the flow of foreign fighters into and out of the Middle East.  
阻塞外国战士出入中东的渠道。
[07:20.26]And in two weeks, I will chair a meeting of the U.N. Security Council to further mobilize the international community around this effort.
过两周，我将作为主席主持联合国安理会会议。届时，我会围绕这一努力，在国际社会中作进一步的动员。
[07:29.11]Fourth, we will continue to provide humanitarian assistance to innocent civilians who have been displaced by this terrorist organization. 
第四，我们将继续对那些被恐怖组织迁徙转移的无辜公民提供人道主义援助，
[07:37.22]This includes Sunni and Shia Muslims who are at grave risk, as well as tens of thousands of Christians and other religious minorities. 
这既包括处于严重危险中的逊尼派、什叶派穆斯林，也包括成千上万的基督徒与其他宗教少数派。
[07:46.36]We cannot allow these communities to be driven from their ancient homelands.
我们不能容忍这些群落被驱离他们历史悠久的家园。
[07:50.15]So this is our strategy. And in each of these four parts of our strategy, America will be joined by a broad coalition of partners. 
以上这就是我们的战略。在这战略四部分的每一个方面，我们都和我们伙伴的广泛联盟站在一起。
[08:00.55]Already, allies are flying planes with us over Iraq; 
目前已经实施的有：盟国与我们的飞机一道飞过伊拉克，
[08:04.12]sending arms and assistance to Iraqi security forces and the Syrian opposition; 
给伊拉克安全部队和叙利亚反对派送去武器与援助物资，
[08:08.59]sharing intelligence; and providing billions of dollars in humanitarian aid.  
共享情报，提供数十亿美元的人道主义援助。
[08:14.08]Secretary Kerry was in Iraq today meeting with the new government and supporting their efforts to promote unity. 
克里国务卿今天在伊拉克会见伊拉克新政府领导，支持他们促进团结的努力。
[08:20.16]And in the coming days he will travel across the Middle East and Europe to enlist more partners in this fight, 
接下来，他将在中东与欧洲展开穿梭旅行，争取更多的伙伴加入这场战争，
[08:26.13]especially Arab nations who can help mobilize Sunni communities in Iraq and Syria, to drive these terrorists from their lands. This is American leadership at its best:We stand with people who fight for their own freedom, and we rally other nations on behalf of our common security and common humanity. 
尤其是那些能够帮助动员伊拉克与叙利亚的逊尼派社会，将这些恐怖分子从他们土地上赶走的阿拉伯国家。
[08:47.15]My Administration has also secured bipartisan support for this approach here at home. 
本届政府的这个战略已在国内得到两党一致的支持。
[08:52.08]I have the authority to address the threat from ISIL, 
我有权处理来自ISIL的威胁，
[08:55.33]but I believe we are strongest as a nation when the President and Congress work together. 
然而我相信，当总统和国会协同工作时我们最有力量。
[09:01.15]So I welcome congressional support for this effort in order to show the world that Americans are united in confronting this danger.
因而我欢迎国会对我们这一努力的支持，以便向国际社会显示在面对这一危机时美国的团结一致。
[09:10.18]Now, it will take time to eradicate a cancer like ISIL. 
是的，切除ISIL这颗毒瘤需要时间。
[09:14.46]And any time we take military action, there are risks involved―especially to the servicemen and women who carry out these missions. 
任何时候采取军事行动都伴随着危险―对那些要完成这一使命的男女军人而言，尤其如此。
[09:24.06]But I want the American people to understand how this effort will be different from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. 
然而我希望美国人民理解，这次努力与以往在伊拉克与阿富汗的战争将有哪些区别
[09:31.08]It will not involve American combat troops fighting on foreign soil. 
它将不包括美国战斗部队在外国的地面战斗。
[09:36.09]This counterterrorism campaign will be waged through a steady, relentless effort to take out ISIL wherever they exist, 
这次反恐战役发动后，我们将运用我们的空军力量和我们对盟友地面部队的支持，
[09:43.06]using our air power and our support for partner forces on the ground.
通过坚定、无情的努力，摧毁ISIL，无论它藏在哪里。
[09:47.45]This strategy of taking out terrorists who threaten us, while supporting partners on the front lines, is one that we have successfully pursued in Yemen and Somalia for years. 
通过支持在前线作战的盟友来清除威胁我们的恐怖分子，是我们在也门与索马里已经成功地运用了好几年的一项策略。
[09:57.52]And it is consistent with the approach I outlined earlier this year:  
这也与今年早些时候我概述的一项政策相一致：
[10:01.23]to use force against anyone who threatens America's core interests, 
以实力回击任何威胁美国核心利益者，
[10:05.48]but to mobilize partners wherever possible to address broader challenges to international order. 
然而动员一切可能的盟友来应付对国际秩序的广泛挑战。
[10:11.00]My fellow Americans, we live in a time of great change. 
我的美国同胞们，我们生活在一个剧烈变化的时代。
[10:18.42]Tomorrow marks 13 years since our country was attacked.  
明天标志着我们国家遭受恐怖袭击十三周年。
[10:22.57]Next week marks six years since our economy suffered its worst setback since the Great Depression. 
下个星期标志着自大萧条以来我们经济承受的最糟的一次衰退六周年。
[10:29.00]Yet despite these shocks, through the pain we have felt and the grueling work required to bounce back, 
然而尽管有这些打击，通过我们都感受到的痛苦和复苏所要求的繁重的工作，
[10:35.53]America is better positioned today to seize the future than any other nation on Earth.
今天美国仍然能够在比世界上其他国家都更好的位置上去拥抱未来。
[10:42.26]Our technology companies and universities are unmatched. 
我们的科技公司与大学教育举世无双， 
[10:45.50]Our manufacturing and auto industries are thriving. 
我们的制造业与汽车工业繁荣兴旺， 
[10:48.41]Energy independence is closer than it's been in decades. 
我们比几十年前更接近能源独立。
[10:52.26]For all the work that remains, our businesses are in the longest uninterrupted stretch of job creation in our history. 
为了所有工作职位的保全，我们的企业进行了历史上持续时间最长的创造就业机会的努力。
[11:01.07]Despite all the divisions and discord within our democracy, 
尽管有民主政治中难免的分歧与争执，
[11:06.15]I see the grit and determination and common goodness of the American people every single day―and that makes me more confident than ever about our country's future.
每日每时我都看到勇气、决心和美国人民共有的善良―正是这个，让我对我们国家的未来比任何时候都更加充满信心。
[11:16.57]Abroad, American leadership is the one constant in an uncertain world. 
在海外，美国的领导是这动荡不安的世界的定海神针。
[11:22.43]It is America that has the capacity and the will to mobilize the world against terrorists. 
正是美国拥有能力与意志，动员全世界来反对恐怖分子；
[11:28.04]It is America that has rallied the world against Russian aggression, and in support of the Ukrainian peoples' right to determine their own destiny. 
正是美国团结起全世界，反对俄国的侵略，支持乌克兰人民决定自己命运的权利；
[11:37.24]It is America―our scientists, our doctors, our know-how―that can help contain and cure the outbreak of Ebola. 
正是美国―我们的科学家、我们的医生、我们的专业知识―能够帮助控制与医治埃博拉病毒的爆发。
[11:46.13]It is America that helped remove and destroy Syria's declared chemical weapons so that they can't pose a threat to the Syrian people or the world again. 
正是美国帮助清除与销毁叙利亚曾公然使用的化学武器，使之不能再对叙利亚与世界人民造成危害；
[11:53.50]And it is America that is helping Muslim communities around the world not just in the fight against terrorism, 
还是美国，帮助唤起全世界的穆斯林，不仅投身于反对恐怖主义的斗争；
[12:01.00]but in the fight for opportunity, and tolerance, and a more hopeful future.
也投身于争取机会、宽容与更有希望的未来的斗争。
[12:08.58]America, our endless blessings bestow an enduring burden. 
美国啊，无尽的福佑赋予我们沉重的义务；
[12:15.09]But as Americans, we welcome our responsibility to lead. 
然而作为美国人，我们拥抱我们的领导责任。
[12:19.59]From Europe to Asia, from the far reaches of Africa to war-torn capitals of the Middle East, we stand for freedom, for justice, for dignity. 
从欧洲到亚洲，从遥远的非洲到战争撕扯的中东，我们象征着自由、民主、尊严
[12:32.09]These are values that have guided our nation since its founding. 
这些价值从我们建国以来就一直指引着我们这个国家。
[12:36.39]Tonight, I ask for your support in carrying that leadership forward. 
今晚，为了更好地履行我们的领导责任，
[12:41.43]I do so as a Commander-in-Chief who could not be prouder of our men and women in uniform
作为总司令，我请求你们的支持。我为我们身着戎装的男女军人感到无比骄傲
[12:47.27]pilots who bravely fly in the face of danger above the Middle East, and servicemembers who support our partners on the ground.
那些面对危险勇敢地飞越中东上空的飞行员，那些在地面上帮助我们盟友的军人们。
[12:55.45]When we helped prevent the massacre of civilians trapped on a distant mountain, here's what one of them said: 
当我们帮助制止了一起对被囚禁在遥远大山里的平民的屠杀后，幸存者中有人曾说过这样的话：
[13:03.13]We owe our American friends our lives. 
我们的生命是美国朋友给的。
[13:07.19]Our children will always remember that there was someone who felt our struggle and made a long journey to protect innocent people.
我们的孩子将永远记住：世上有这种人，他们同情我们的奋斗，愿意长途跋涉来保护无辜者不被杀害
[13:17.55]That is the difference we make in the world. 
这就是我们行动的意义
[13:21.22]And our own safety, our own security, depends upon our willingness to do what it takes to defend this nation and uphold the values that we stand for
是我们让世界大不一样。我们自身的安全与保障，取决于我们为捍卫这个国家，坚守我们所象征的价值，赴汤蹈火，奉献一切的意愿。
[13:33.48]timeless ideals that will endure long after those who offer only hate and destruction have been vanquished from the Earth.
在那些只带来仇恨与毁灭的意识形态从这个星球上被征服被清除之后很久很久，我们所象征的那些价值、那些永恒的理想仍将屹立不倒，永远存在。
[13:42.21]May God bless our troops, and may God bless the United States of America.
愿上帝保佑我们的部队，愿上帝保佑美利坚合众国。
