	标题：奥巴马每周电视讲话：总统希望所有人都受益于自由市场 
[00:01.70]Hello, everybody. 	大家好！ 
[00:02.47]One of America's greatest strengths is our free market. 	美国强大的力量之源就是自由市场。 
[00:05.58]A thriving private sector is the lifeblood of our economy-it's how we create jobs, expand opportunities, and give everybody a shot at success. 	繁荣的私营企业是我们经济发展的命脉,这样的基础让我们创造就业、增加机遇,让每个人都有机会获得成功。 
[00:13.96]It's what has made America the strongest country on Earth. 	这也让美国成为地球上最强大的国家。 
[00:17.78]The most essential ingredient in a healthy free market is competition. 	一个健康、自由市场环境中最重要的元素就是竞争。 
[00:22.29]But right now, too many companies are engaging in behaviors that stifle competition-	但是现在,太多的公司存在各种扼杀竞争的行为,
[00:27.15]like blocking new competitors from entering the market or limiting the information and options that give consumers real choice. 	比如说阻止新的竞争者进入市场,或阻碍信息交流不给用户提供真正需要的选项。 
[00:34.81]As a consequence, the rest of us pay higher prices for lower quality products and services. 	随之而来的就是,我们付着高价钱,却享受着低水准的产品和服务。 
[00:40.21]Workers receive lower wages than they otherwise would. 	劳动者的工资也比他们应得的少。 
[00:43.53]Small businesses and entrepreneurs can get squeezed out of the market. 	中小企业和企业主们被挤出市场。 
[00:47.41]And none of that is fair-or good for our economy. 	这些都是不公平的,对我们的经济发展也没有好处。 
[00:51.60]The deck should not be stacked in favor of the wealthiest individuals and the biggest corporations, against working Americans. 	发展的平台不能被把持在少数最富有的人以及少数大公司手中,不能损害工薪阶层的利益。 
[00:57.76]That's why my administration is doing everything we can to reverse this trend and promote more competition in the marketplace. 	因此,本届政府正在尽一切努力,扭转这一趋势,促进市场竞争。 
[01:04.85]In addition to enforcing the rules on the books, 	为巩固竞争环境,我们要依照法律规范,加强执法,
[01:07.49]I've directed federal agencies to identify anti-competitive behavior in different industries, and find new and specific ways to promote competition. 	我已经指示联邦相关机构,甄别各行各业存在的反竞争行为,探索新的可行方式,促进竞争。 
[01:17.38]One industry that's ripe for change is cable TV. 	其中应该尽快变革的就是有线电视行业。 
[01:20.89]Right now, 99 percent of cable and satellite TV customers rent set-top boxes from their providers. 	当前,99%的有线卫星电视用户是从运营商租用机顶盒。 
[01:27.37]According to one survey, this costs households an average of more than $230 per year. 	根据一项调查显示,每户家庭每年的平均租用成本超过230美元。 
[01:33.42]We spend some $20 billion to rent these devices. 	我们每年要花200亿来租用这些设备。 
[01:36.80]While we have almost unlimited choice in what we watch on television, from traditional programming to online content, 	由于我们通过电视看什么应该是完全不受限制的,从传统电视节目到在线视频,
[01:43.85]there's next to no competition to build a better, user-friendly product that allows you to easily access all this content in one place. 	但是这个领域几乎没有竞争来促生更好的、与用户更友好的产品,让我们可以方便的通过一个设备看到所有想看的内容。 
[01:51.23]So most consumers just rent whatever the cable company offers. 	因此,有线电视运营商那里提供什么设备,大部分的用户也就租用什么设备。 
[01:55.26]Because we have to. 	因为我们不得不这么做。 
[01:57.80]That means companies have little incentive to innovate. 	也就是说,这些公司之间几乎没有任何创新的驱动力。 
[01:59.67]As a consequence, we need multiple devices and controllers to access content from different sources. 	随之而来的就是,我们需要各种各样的设备和遥控器,来接入各种来源的内容。 
[02:05.55]That makes no sense. 	这太不合理了。 
[02:06.80]So my administration has encouraged the FCC to remove the barriers to competition that prevent new players from offering innovative cable box options to consumers. 	因此,本届政府已经在推动FCC取消这些阻碍竞争的障碍,让新的竞争者可以为用户提供具有创新意义的有线电视机顶盒。 
[02:17.52]We know this works. 	我们知道这样做是有用的。 
[02:19.14]For years, Americans had to rent our telephones from the phone company. 	曾几何时,美国人民不得不从电话公司租用电话机。 
[02:22.61]This was a while ago, but when the FCC finally unlocked competition for home phones,the marketplace was flooded with all kinds of phone options with new features, and at different price points. 	这个时期已经过去了,但是当FCC最终开启家用电话竞争之后,市场上涌入了各种各样的电话,拥有各种新的功能,各个级别的价格都有。 
[02:33.71]Consumers suddenly had many options. 	这样,消费者一下子就有了多种多样的选择。 
[02:35.68]And the whole industry moved forward as a result. 	整个产业也迅速向前发展。 
[02:39.10]The same can happen with cable boxes, and in dozens of areas of our economy-	因此,同样的改变也可以在有线电视机顶盒上发生,包括众多其它行业也是如此,
[02:43.49]all of which can make a difference in your everyday life. 	这些改变将为大家的生活带来不一样的变化。 
[02:46.73]The bottom line is, competition is good for consumers, workers, businesses, and our economy. 	最重要的就是,竞争对消费者、劳动者、企业以及我们的整个经济发展都是有利的。 
[02:52.86]So I'm going to keep doing everything I can to make sure that our free market works for everyone. 	因此,我将继续尽我所能,确保自由市场服务于每一个人。 
[02:57.92]Thanks, and have a great weekend. 	谢谢大家！ 周末愉快！
