Finally, let me say to the families who lost loved ones on 9/11 that we have never forgotten your loss, nor wavered in our commitment to see that we do whatever it takes to prevent another attack on our shores. 最后，让我对那些在911事件中失去家人的家庭们说，我们永远不会忘记你们的损失，我们会采取任何措施来防止对我们国土的另一次袭击，这个承诺我们也永远不会动摇。
And tonight, let us think back to the sense of unity that prevailed on 9/11. I know that it has, at times, frayed. Yet today’s achievement is a testament to the greatness of our country and the determination of the American people. 今晚，让我们回顾一下911那天我们的团结一心，我知道随着时间的流逝这种感觉已经渐渐淡去，但是今天的成就见证了我们国家的伟大和人民的坚不可摧。 The cause of securing our country is not complete. But tonight, we are once again reminded that America can do whatever we set our mind to. That is the story of our history, whether it’s the pursuit of prosperity for our people, or the struggle for equality for all our citizens; our commitment to stand up for our values abroad, and our sacrifices to make the world a safer place.
我们保护国家的任务还没有完成，但是今晚，我们再次相信，美国人民可以完成任何我们下定决心完成的事情。这就是我们的历史：不管是对人民繁荣的追求、或是对人人平等的奋斗，我们传播我们的价值观的承诺以及我们为维护世界和平所作出的牺牲。
Let us remember that we can do these things not just because of wealth or power, but because of who we are: one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
让我们铭记，我们做这件事并不因为我们的财富或力量，而是因为我们自身：我们是在上帝之下，所有人都拥有自由和正义的不可分割的一个国家。
Thank you. May God bless you. And may God bless the United States of America. 谢谢大家，愿上帝保佑你们，上帝保佑美国。

The death of Omasa Bin Ladin was the most significant achievement to date ,but it doenst mark the end of our effort to fight the war agaisnt terrorism.Zawahiri,the second-commonder of al-Qaeda is the next top target of the US military.Will the death of Omasa Bin Ladin indicate the end of a previous chapter and a begining of a new era that the globe honor more peace and dignity?

For Immediate Release May 1, 2011 媒体用 2011.5.1
REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT 已经过总统批注 ON OSAMA BIN LADEN 主题关于奥萨玛·本·拉登 East Room 白宫东厅 11:35 P.M. EDT 11:35 P.M. EDT
THE PRESIDENT: Good evening. Tonight, I can report to the American people and to the world that the United States has conducted an operation that killed Osama bin Laden, the leader of al Qaeda, and a terrorist who’s
responsible for the murder of thousands of innocent men, women, and children.
总统：晚上好。今晚，我可以向所有美国民众和全世界报告：美国在一次行动中已经击毙应为数千无辜民众的死负责的基地组织头目，恐怖分子奥萨玛·本·拉登。
It was nearly 10 years ago that a bright September day was darkened by the worst attack on the American people in our history. The images of 9/11 are seared into our national memory — hijacked planes cutting through a cloudless September sky; the Twin Towers collapsing to the ground; black smoke billowing up from the Pentagon; the wreckage of Flight 93 in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, where the actions of heroic citizens saved even more heartbreak and destruction.
自从9月那明亮的一天因为历史上针对美国人的最严重的一次恐怖袭击而变的暗淡无光以来已经将近10年。9.11的每一个画面已经深深烙进了这个国家的记忆当中-被劫持的飞机划破无云晴朗的9月天空；双子塔的倒塌；五角大楼升起的黑烟；坠毁在宾夕法尼亚州尚克斯维尔的97号航班的残骸，她的乘客们的英勇地避免了更大的惨剧和损失的发生。
And yet we know that the worst images are those that were unseen to the world. The empty seat at the dinner table. Children who were forced to grow up without their mother or their father. Parents who would never know the feeling of their child’s embrace. Nearly 3,000 citizens taken from us, leaving a gaping hole in our hearts.
很快我们就知道，那些最糟糕的画面却恰恰是那些不被世人所知晓的。晚餐桌旁空荡荡的座椅，孩子们一天天长大却少了母亲或者父亲。父母永远无法体会到的孩子心中的创伤。将近3000名无辜民众被从我们身边夺走了生命，留下的只有我们心中难以弥合的创伤。
On September 11, 2001, in our time of grief, the American people came together. We offered our neighbors a hand, and we offered the wounded our blood. We reaffirmed our ties to each other, and our love of community and country. On that day, no matter where we came from, what God we prayed to, or what race or ethnicity we were, we were united as one American family.
在2001年9月11日，在我们悲痛之余，所有的美国人团结在一起，我们为我们的邻里伸出援手，我们为那些受伤者献出自己的鲜血。我们向世界再次宣告我们美国人彼此之间的紧密联系，以及我们对社区和国家的热爱。在那一天，不管我们的出身如何，我们的信仰如何，抑或是我们的肤色、种族，我们合众为一组成美国的大家庭。
We were also united in our resolve to protect our nation and to bring those who committed this vicious attack to justice. We quickly learned that the 9/11 attacks were carried out by al Qaeda — an organization headed by Osama bin Laden, which had openly declared war on the United States and was committed to killing innocents in our country and around the globe. And so we went to war against al Qaeda to protect our citizens, our friends, and our allies.
我们也同样凝聚起我们的决心来保护我们的国家誓将发动这次恶毒袭击的始作俑者绳之以法。我们迅速查明9.11恐怖袭击的策划者是“基地组织”--一个由奥萨玛·本·拉登领导的，公开向美国宣战并且试图在我国境内和全球范围内杀害无辜民众的恐怖组织。于是我们义无反顾的投入到了一场对抗基地组织的反恐战争中来保护我国公民，我们的友邦，和我们的盟国。
Over the last 10 years, thanks to the tireless and heroic work of our military and our counterterrorism professionals, we’ve made great strides in that effort. We’ve disrupted terrorist attacks and strengthened our homeland defense. In Afghanistan, we removed the Taliban government, which had given bin Laden and al Qaeda safe haven and support. And around the globe, we worked with our friends and allies to capture or kill scores of al Qaeda terrorists, including several who were a part of the 9/11 plot.
在过去的10年里，通过我们的士兵和反恐人员不倦的、英勇的工作，我们在此目标上已经取得和很大的进展。我们成功的阻止了恐怖袭击并且加强了本土的防御。在阿富汗，我们推翻了给本拉登和基地组织提供庇护和支持的塔里班政权。在全球范围内，我们和友邦还有盟国一起合作抓捕或者击毙“基地组织”的恐怖分子，他们中的数人就参加过9.11恐怖袭击的密谋。
Yet Osama bin Laden avoided capture and escaped across the Afghan border into Pakistan. Meanwhile, al Qaeda continued to operate from along that border and operate through its affiliates across the world.
然而奥萨玛·本·拉登躲过了追捕通过阿富汗边境逃脱到了巴基斯坦。与此同时，基地组织也通过这条边境线和它分布在全球范围内的分支机构继续保持着运作。
And so shortly after taking office, I directed Leon Panetta, the director of the CIA, to make the killing or capture of bin Laden the top priority of our war against al Qaeda, even as we continued our broader efforts to disrupt, dismantle, and defeat his network.
在我上任不久，我便直接指示CIA局长Leon Panetta：杀死或者抓捕本·拉登是我们对抗基地组织战争中的首要任务，甚至如我们不断在边境上为了破坏，拆散，直至最终击败他的恐怖网络所作出的努力一样重要。
