偶像励志英语演讲 第63期:执着于你的梦想(7)

　　Some in my country fear that China's research and development will overtake America's, but I believe that America and the world will benefit from China's scientific and technological¹ advances. I think we will benefit from that. If China makes advances in stem cell research, the rest of the world will benefit from that.If China discovers an energy breakthrough, this is good for the rest of the world, such as the benefit of a free market.
一些美国人担心中国的科研与发展将会超越美国，但我认为美国和世界其他国家都能从中国的科技进步中受益。我相信我们会从中受益。如果中国在骨髓干细胞研究方面取得进展，世界其他国家都会从中受益。如果中国在能源方面取得突破，这会像开放自由市场一样使世界其他国家受益。
Some fear that China will buy up American companies, but that fear also existed in the 80s, when America feared that Japan was going to buy up American companies. So what? It was just good, and to benefit of America. We should welcome China's investment in American companies, just as we welcome the billions of dollars that China has invested in U.S. treasury² bonds. This shows that China has faith in America, and American investment in China shows that we have faith in you. So I believe that China and U.S. economic relations will become even closer in the years ahead. Certainly I realize that we do not agree on everything, but who does? Certainly I realize that China has major hurdles³ to overcome, but it is not for me to say how China should overcome those hurdles and achieve its dreams.
一些人担心中国将收购美国公司，类似的担忧在80年代也存在，当时美国担心日本会收购美国公司。而结果又怎么样呢？一切都好，美国只是从中受益。我们应该欢迎中国投资美国公司，就像欢迎中国投资亿万美元购买美国国债一样。这表明，中国信任美国，而美国在中国的投资也表明美国对中国有信心。因此，我相信中美经济关系在未来将会更加密切。当然，我们无法在任何事情上都达成共识，但谁又能做到这一点呢？当然，我知道中国需要克服很多障碍，但关于中国应如何克服这些困难并实现它的梦想，我不会去评头论足。
But I can tell you, however, what has given America such energy and strength over the last 200 years, and perhaps there are some insights in this for China. America is a nation that believes in the power of the individual, and what the individual can accomplish, no matter the color, no matter the religion, no matter the ethnic⁴ background of the individual.
但不管怎样，我想说，在过去的200年促使美国变得这么强大而充满活力的因素也能为中国提供一些借鉴。美国是一个相信个人能力的国家，美国相信个人能取得很多成就，不论其肤色、宗教信仰及种族背景。
