1、 美国国务卿约翰克里在年第届慕尼黑安全会议英语演讲稿 美国国务卿约翰克里在2014年第50届慕尼黑安全会议英语演讲稿 AMBASSADORISCHINGER:Thanks very much. I think now we can continue. Its my greatpleasure now toopen our second panel this morning. We have two longtime friends of theMunichSecurity Conference. Both of our panelists have been with the MunichSe
2、curityConference when they served in the U.S. Senate for many years. So let mewelcomeboth Secretary John Kerry and Secretary Chuck Hagel, both now no longerin the Senate butboth now for a year, for practically a year, Secretary ofState and Secretary of Defense.Welcome, Mr. Secretaries. (Applause.)I
3、think the way we want to usethese 45 minutes or so is that both Secretaries will offerintroductorycomments; and if you have a question to ask, please put it on one of the slipsofpaper and hand it to the staff, and then well use whatever time we have tohave a discussion, aQ&A session, in just a few m
4、inutes.John, would you like to start?Thank you.SECRETARYKERRY:Well, thank you very much, Ambassador Ischinger. Im very gratefulfor theopportunity to be here. (In German.) Nice to be with everybody. And I am Iwant toremark that Ambassador Ischinger had the pleasure of going to therenowned Fletcher Sc
5、hool atTufts University, but it sounds to me like he losthis Boston accent. I dont know what happenedto him along the way. (Laughter.)This is a very real and specialpleasure for Chuck and me to be here at this conference. Wedo know thisconference well. And as Walter said, we are not just friends fro
6、m the Senatebutwere friends from a common experience of a long period of time. So its apleasure for us now tobe working together as partners with respect to thenational security issues that challenge allof us.So the fact is also that bothChuck and I feel this Atlantic relationship very much in ourbo
7、nes. Both of ourfamilies emigrated to the United States from Europe, and both of ourfatherssigned up to fight tyranny and totalitarianism in World War II. And we bothwatchedthe Berlin Wall go up as we grew up, and we grew up as Cold War kids.So we come to these discussions both of us with part of ou
8、r formative years planted inthe post-ColdWar/post-World War period, and certainly deeply in the Cold War period. As akidwho grew up in school doing drills to get under my desk in the event ofnuclear war, this issomething that still conditions my thinking.It was during that period of timethat I first
9、 encountered what I came to understand as oneof the unmistakablesymbols of the enduring American-European partnership. I was a youngkid whoserved who was with my father in Berlin when he served as the legal advisorto thethen High Commissioner to Germany, James Conant. And I spent a piece ofmy childh
10、oodgetting on trains in Frankfurt and going through the dead of nightto arrive in Berlin and begreeted by the American military man, and movebetween a British sector, a French sector, anAmerican sector, and a Russiansector. So I can remember cold signs warning you about whereyou were leaving,and I c
11、an remember guns rapping on the windows of my train when I dared toliftthe blinds and try to look out and see what was on the other side.Ill also never forget walkinginto a building I used to ride my bicycle down toKurfurstendamm when it wasstill rubble. Were talking about the early 1950s, just to d
12、atemyself. And youcould see a plaque on a building that said: “This was rebuilt with help fromtheMarshall Plan.” But the truth is today, as we gather in Munich in 2014,George Marshallscourageous vision resisting the calls of isolationism andinvesting in this partnership requires all of us to think a
13、bout more than justbuildings. That period of time saw the MarshallPlan lead Americas support forthe rebuilding of a continent. But it was more than just therebuilding of acontinent; it was the rebuilding of an idea, it was the rebuilding of a visionthatwas built on a set of principles, and it built alliances that were justunthinkable only a few yearsbefore that. -全文完-
