7、eran, and I would askall of us here today to stand and pay tribute not only to the veterans amongus, but to the more than 2.5 million Americans who have served in Iraq andAfghanistan, as well as their families. (Applause。)It is a particularly useful time for America to reflect onthose whove sacrific
8、ed so much for our freedom, a fewdays after Memorial Day. You are the first class to graduate since 9/11 who maynot be sent into combat in Iraq or Afghanistan. (Cheers, applause 。 ) 我知道，你们和我一样都要向自己的家人表示感谢。乔-狄摩斯是本届毕业生詹姆斯的父亲，他给我来信讲诉你们所作出的牺牲，也道出了许多父母的心声。他写道：“在我们的内心深处，我们为他们立志报效国家而感到无比自豪。”和多位毕业生一样，詹姆斯也是位
9、战场老兵。 我请今天在座的各位起立，向我们当中的老兵，也向 250 多万曾在伊拉克和阿富汗服役的美国人及其家属致敬。(掌声 )这是继数天前阵亡将士纪念日后的又一个极有意义的时刻， 让美国人民得以回想那些为我们的自由作出巨大牺牲的英雄。你们将是自911 恐怖袭击以来，第一届不会被派到伊拉克或阿富汗参战的毕业生。(欢呼声、掌声 ) When I first spoke at West Point in 2009, we still had morethan 100,000 troops in Iraq. We were preparing to surge in Afghanistan. Ourc
10、ounterterrorism efforts were focused on al-Qaidas coreleadership - those who had carried out the 9/11 attacks. And our nation wasjust beginning a long climb out of the worst economic crisis since the GreatDepression。 Four and a half years later, as you graduate, the landscapehas changed. We have rem
11、oved our troops from Iraq. We are winding down our warin Afghanistan. Al-Qaida s leadership on the border region betweenPakistan and Afghanistan has been decimated, and Osama bin Laden is no more。(Cheers, applause。) And through it all, weve refocusedour investments in what has always been a key sour
12、ce of American strength: agrowing economy that can provide opportunity for everybody whos willing to work hard and take responsibility here at home。2009 年，我首次在西点发表演讲时，我们仍有10 万多名士兵驻扎在伊拉克，也正准备增兵阿富汗。而我们的反恐重心则是基地组织的核心头目正是他们发动了911 恐怖袭击。此外，我们的国家正开始一段摆脱大萧条以来最严重经济危机的漫长历程。四年半以后，就在你们毕业之际，情况已发生了转变。我们已从伊拉克撤军，正逐
13、步结束阿富汗的战争。 潜伏在巴基斯坦和阿富汗边境地区的基地组织头目已被斩草除根，而奥萨马-本-拉登也早已命丧黄泉。(欢呼声、掌声)在经历了这一切之后，我们又将关注重心调整到美国实力的重要源头上来，这个源头就是不断发展的经济，为每一个愿意努力工作并愿意承担起家国责任的人提供机会。In fact, by most measures America has rarely been strongerrelative to the rest of the world. Those who argue otherwise - who suggestthat America is in decline or
14、 has seen its global leadership slip away - areeither misreading history or engaged in partisan politics。Think about it. Our military has no peer. The odds of adirect threat against us by any nation are low, and do not come close to thedangers we faced during the Cold War. Meanwhile, our economy rem
15、ains the mostdynamic on Earth, our businesses the most innovative. Each year, we grow moreenergy independent. From Europe to Asia, we are the hub of alliances unrivaledin the history of nations。America continues to attract striving immigrants. Thevalues of our founding inspire leaders in parliaments
16、 and new movements inpublic squares around the globe. And when a typhoon hits the Philippines, orschoolgirls are kidnapped in Nigeria, or masked men occupy a building inUkraine, it is America that the world looks to for help. (Applause。) So theUnited States is and remains the one indispensable nation. That has been truefor the century past, and it will be true for the century to come。But the world is changing with accelerating speed. Thispresents opportunity, but also new dangers
