我代表朱棣文部长表达他的遗憾。他无法与我们一起出席会议，因为他需要留在墨西哥湾，完成有关石油泄漏的紧迫工作。
Third, on education, health, and development, tomorrow I will meet with State
Councilor Lio to launch a new dialogue on educational and cultural exchanges that will deepen understanding and cooperation between our people. I am very pleased that Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius has joined us this year to expand cooperation on infectious diseases and other international health challenges. Our ambassador for global women's issues, Melanne Verveer, is also here because we recognize that the roles and rights of women are central to many of the issues we face, including devising a global strategy for development that is both sustainable and effective.
第三，教育、卫生与发展问题。明天我将会晤刘国务委员，开始新的关于教育和文化交流的对话，加深两国人民的相互理解和合作。我很高兴卫生与公众服务部部长凯瑟琳·西贝利厄斯今年加入我们的行列，为应对传染病和国际卫生领域其它方面的挑战扩大相互间的合作。我国全球妇女问题大使梅拉妮·弗维尔也在座，因为我们认识到，妇女的作用和权利对于解决我们面临的许多问题都举足轻重，其中包括制定可持续和切实有效的全球发展战略。
The Obama Administration has worked to advance a long-term investment-driven approach to development. And Administrator Raj Shah is leading our efforts. We have elevated development as a core pillar of our foreign policy, and we seek to coordinate with China and other donors to meet country-led needs and to comply with internationally-agreed standards.
对于发展问题，奥巴马政府努力促进长期投资驱动的模式。拉吉夫沙赫署长负责主持这方面的工作。我们已经把发展提升为我国外交政策的一个核心支柱，我们正争取与中国和其他捐助方进行协调，以满足国家主导的需求，同时遵循国际公认的标准。 Finally, we have worked together and seen progress on promoting global economic recovery and growth. Secretary Geithner, Secretary Locke, Ambassador Kirk,
Chairman Bernanke, and the rest of our economic team will be talking in greater depth about how we can develop a more balanced global economy that will produce
prosperity that reaches further and deeper for both the Chinese and American people. 最后，我们已为促进全球经济复苏和增长进行了共同努力并且已经看到了进展。盖特纳部长、骆家辉部长、柯克大使、伯南克主席以及我们经济团队的其他成员将就我们如何促进全球经济的平衡进行更深入的讨论，为美中两国人民创造进一步的更大繁荣。 Now, our discussions in these few days are unlikely to solve the shared challenges we face. But they can and should provide a framework for delivering real results to our people. We will not agree on every issue. But we will discuss them openly, as
between friends and partners. And that includes America's commitment to universal
human rights and dignity, and so much else that is on both Chinese and American minds.
当然，我们短短几天进行的讨论不可能解决我们共同面临的挑战，但我们能够而且应该提供一个有利于为两国人民带来实惠的框架。我们不可能在每一问题上达成一致，但我们能够像朋友和伙伴一样坦率地讨论这些问题，其中包括美国对普遍人权和尊严的承诺，以及中方和美方关心的许许多多其它问题。
There is a Chinese proverb that speaks of treading different paths that lead to the same destination. Our two nations have unique histories. China is home to an ancient civilization, as I saw in the Chinese Pavilion when I visited, with the scroll that has been made to come alive, showing life in this city 1,000 years ago. America is a young
nation. But we know that our future, both our challenges and our opportunities, will be shared. We have traveled different paths, but that shared future is our common destination and responsibility. And, ultimately, that is what this dialogue is about. 中国有个成语，殊途同归。我们两国都有着独特的历史。中国是古代文明的发祥地之一。我在上海参观中国馆时看到的图像栩栩如生地展示了一千年以前的城市生活场景。美国是一个年轻的国家，但我们都知道，我们的未来，包括我们的挑战和机遇，都将是共同的。我们行进在不同的道路上，但共有的未来是我们共同的目的地和责任所在，归根结底也是这场对话的目的。
So, again, let me thank State Councilor Dai and Vice-Premier Wang, and I look
forward to our discussions in an open and candid exchange of views. Thank you very much.
因此，我再次感谢戴国务委员和王副总理。我期待着我们通过公开、坦率的讨论交换意见。非常感谢诸位。
