1、奥巴马总统在埃及开罗大学讲话全文（中英文）Good afternoon. I am honored to be in the timeless city of Cairo and to be hosted by two remarkable institutions. For over a thousand years, Al-Azhar has had stood as a beacon of Islamic learning. And for over a century, Cairo University has been a source of Egypts advancement.
2、Together, you represent the harmony between tradition and progress.Im grateful for your hospitality and the hospitality of the people of Egypt. And Im also proud to carry with me the good will of the American people and a greeting of peace from Muslim communities in my country: Assalamu-alaikum.下午好。
3、我荣幸地来到永恒的开罗古城，荣幸地受到两所著名学府的邀请。 爱资哈尔(Al-Azhar)一千多年来一直是一座伊斯 兰学术的灯塔，开罗大学(Cairo University)一百多年来一直是埃及发展的源泉。你们并肩而立，象征着传统与进步的和谐共进。我 对你们的盛情邀请，对埃及人民的盛情邀请表示感谢。我也自豪地带来美国人民的友好情谊，带来我国穆斯林民众的平安问候： “Assalaamu alaykum.”（愿你平安。）We meet at a time of great tension between the United States and Muslims around the world,
4、tension rooted in historical forces that go beyond any current policy debate. The relationship between Islam and the West includes centuries of coexistence and cooperation but also conflict and religious wars.More recently, tension has been fed by colonialism that denied rights and opportunities to
5、many Muslims and a Cold War in which Muslim majority countries were too often treated as proxies without regard to their own aspirations. Moreover, the sweeping change brought by modernity and globalization led many Muslims to view the West as hostile to the traditions of Islam.我们相聚在美国和穆斯林世界之间关系十分紧张
6、的时期这种紧张关系的历史根源远远超出了当前的任何政策辩论。伊斯兰教与西方世界之间的关系史既包括好几个世纪的共存与合作，也包括冲突和宗教战争。在近代，剥 夺众多穆斯林权利和机会的殖民主义，以及穆斯林占主体的国家往往被视为傀儡、 对 其自身意愿鲜有顾及的冷战，加 剧了这种紧张。此外，现代化和全球化带来的巨大变化致使很多穆斯林将西方视为伊斯兰传统的敌人。Violent extremists have exploited these tensions in a small but potent minority of Muslims. The attacks of September 11, 2001
7、, and the continued efforts of these extremists to engage in violence against civilians has led some in my country to view Islam as inevitably hostile not only to America and western countries but also to human rights.All this has bred more fear and more mistrust. So long as our relationship is defi
8、ned by our differences, we will empower those who sow hatred rather than peace, those who promote conflict rather than the cooperation that can help all of our people achieve justice and prosperity. And this cycle of suspicion and discord must end.暴力极端主义分子利用这种紧张关系煽动穆斯林世界为数不多但很有影响的少数派。9.11 袭击事件以及这些极端
9、主义分子不断对平民百姓采用暴力的行径使得我们国家中的一些人认为，伊斯兰教注定不仅与美国和西方国家，而且与人权为敌。所有 这一切导致滋生出更多的恐惧，更多的不信任。只要我们之间的关系定位于我们的分歧，我们就会让那些播种仇恨而不是和平，宣扬冲突而不是合作的人得势，而合作会帮助将正义与繁荣带给所有人。我们必须打破这种怀疑与不和的恶性循环。Ive come here to Cairo to seek a new beginning between the United States and Muslims around the world, one based on mutual interest a
10、nd mutual respect, and one based upon the truth that America and Islam are not exclusive and need not be in competition. Instead, they overlap and share common principles, principles of justice and progress, tolerance and the dignity of all human beings.我来到这里是要在美国和穆斯林世界之间寻求一种以共同利益和相互尊重为基点的新开端基于美国和伊斯
11、兰教并不相互排斥、不必相互竞争的真情。不仅如此，它 们相互重合，拥有一些共同原 则 公正与进步的原则 ；容忍与全人类都有尊严的原则。I do so recognizing that change cannot happen overnight. I know theres been a lot of publicity about this speech, but no single speech can eradicate years of mistrust nor can I answer in the time that I have this afternoon all the com
12、plex questions that brought us to this point.But I am convinced that in order to move forward, we must say openly to each other the things we hold in our hearts and that too often are said only behind closed doors. There must be a sustained effort to listen to each other, to learn from each other, t
13、o respect one another, and to seek common ground.As the Holy Quran tells us, Be conscious of God and speak always the truth.That is what I will try to do today, to speak the truth as best I can. Humbled by the task before us and firm in my belief that the interests we share as human beings are far m
14、ore powerful than the forces that drive us apart.我认识到，变化不会发生于一夜之间。一次 讲话不可能排除多年来的不信任，我也不可能在我有限的时间里回答迄今摆到我们面前的所有复杂问题。但是我深信，为了向前推进，我 们必须公开说出内心深处的话，但我 们往往关起门来才说这些话。 这必须成为相互倾听、相互学习、相互尊重并寻求共同之处的持久努力。 古兰经(Holy Koran)教诲我们：明记 真主，永吐真言。这就是我将在今天努力做到的尽最大努力说实话，兢兢业业面对使命，坚信我们 同为人类的共同利益远比给我们造成隔阂的力量强大得多。Now, part of
15、this conviction is rooted in my own experience. Im a Christian. But my father came from a Kenyan family that includes generations of Muslims. As a boy, I spent several years in Indonesia and heard the call of the azaan at the break of dawn and at the fall of dusk.As a young man, I worked in Chicago
16、communities where many found dignity and peace in their Muslim faith. As a student of history, I also know civilizations debt to Islam. It was Islam at places like Al-Azhar that carried the light of learning through so many centuries, paving the way for Europes renaissance and enlightenment. It was innovation in Muslim communities.It was innovation in Muslim communities that developed the order of algebra, our magnetic compass and tools of navigation, our master
