摘要:克林顿在香港关于美国亚太地区政策的演讲口译6

First, we must seek an open system where any person anywhere can participate in markets everywhere.

首先,我们必须努力建立一个开放的体系,让任何地区的任何人都能参与任何一处市场。

Second, we must seek a free system, one in which ideas, information, products and capital can flow unimpeded by unnecessary or unjust barriers. That is why President Obama has mobilized a government-wide effort to attract foreign investment to America. Now, in the past, foreign investment has been seen as controversial. But today we know it helps create growth and jobs, and it can attract American dollars held overseas back into the U.S. economy. As we welcome investors to our country, we hope that all investors, including those from America, will receive an enthusiastic welcome overseas.

其次,我们必须努力建立一个自由的体系,让创意、信息、产品和资本能够自由流通,不被不必要或不公平的壁垒所阻碍。正是出于这个原因,奥巴马总统已调动政府各部门努力将外国投资吸引到美国。而在过去,外国投资曾被视为是有争议的。但现在,我们知道外国投资有助于创造增长和就业机会,还能将海外持有的美元吸引回美国经济中。在我们欢迎投资者到我国投资的同时,我们也希望包括美国投资者在内的所有投资者都能在海外受到热情欢迎。

Third, we must seek a transparent economic system. Rules and regulations need to be developed out in the open through consultation with stakeholders. They must be known to all and applied equally to all.  Hong Kong is a testament to the power of transparency, good governance, the rule of law, freedom of the press, an independent judiciary, and a vibrant civil society, all of which help to explain why so many people choose to do business here.

第三,我们必须努力建立一个透明的经济体系。规则和规章应当经与利益相关者共同磋商公开制定。它们必须为所有各方所了解,并平等适用于所有各方。香港展示了透明、良治、法治、新闻自由、司法独立和一个欣欣向荣的公民社会的力量,所有这些都有助于说明为什么这么多人选择在香港从事商业经营。

Openness, freedom and transparency contribute to the fourth principle we must ensure: fairness. Fairness sustains faith in the system. That faith is difficult to sustain when companies are forced to trade away their intellectual property just to enter or expand in a foreign market, or when vital supply chains are blocked. These kinds of actions undermine fair competition, which turns many off from competing at all.

开放、自由和透明都为我们必须保障的第四项原则创造了条件,这就是公平。公平能够保持人们对这个体系的信任。当公司企业为了开辟或扩大一个外国市场而不得不以其知识产权作交换时,或当关键的供应链被切断时,这种信任便难以维持。这类行为有损于公平竞争,挫伤了很多人的竞争意愿。

A growing number of countries in Asia are proving the value of these principles. And the United States deeply believes in them, because their value has been proven time and again, not only in times of prosperity but also in times of hardship, as well. At the end of the Vietnam War, there was a thriving commentary around the world on the idea of America’s economic decline. That seems to be a theme that kind of repeats itself every couple of decades. But all the while, then and now, these principles were nurturing a system of entrepreneurship and innovation that allowed two college students to found a small tech startup called Microsoft. And today, they are helping power companies like Solyndra, a green-energy startup in California that began producing solar panels in 2007 and now installs them in more than 20 countries worldwide.

越来越多的亚洲国家正在证明上述原则的价值。美国坚信上述原则,因为其价值一次又一次地得到验证,不仅是在繁荣时期,而且是在困难时刻。在越战结束时,全世界有关美国经济衰退的言论流行一时。这种言论似乎每隔20年便会再次冒头。然而,从过去到现在,上述原则扶持了一个鼓励创业和创新的体系,这个体系促使两名大学生创立了一家名叫微软的小型科技公司。今天,上述原则正在扶植着像加州绿色能源初创公司Solyndra这样的能源公司,这家公司自2007年起开始生产太阳能板,现在他们的太阳能板被用于全世界20多个国家。

Every time in history when the United States has experienced a downturn, we’ve overcome it through reinvention and innovation. Now, these capacities are not unique or innate to the people of the United States. They are activated by our economic model, which we work hard to keep open, free, transparent, and fair, a model that has its imperfections but remains the most powerful source of prosperity known to humankind.

历史上,美国经济每一次陷入衰退,都能通过革新与创新脱离困境。然而,这些能力并不为美国人民所特有或与生俱来;它们是由我们的经济模式所激发的,我们奋力维持这样一个开放、自由、透明、公平的模式。这个模式有它的不完善之处,但仍然是人类所知的最强大的繁荣之源。

Of course, no nation is perfect when it comes to safeguarding these principles, including my own. We all recognize the temptation to bend them. And we all recognize the inevitability of human nature's capacity to look for ways around them. Some nations are making short-term gains doing that. Some developing countries—admirably focused on fighting poverty—might be slow to implement at home the same rules they benefit from abroad.  And a number of nations, wealthy in the aggregate but often poorer per capita, might even think the rules don’t apply to them.

当然,在维护这些原则的时候,没有一个国家是完美的,包括我自己的国家。我们都知道到给原则打折扣的诱惑力,我们都认识到人类本性中那种对原则绕道而行的能力会不可避免地出现。有些国家正在那样做而获得短期的利益;有些发展中国家——它们正令人钦佩地集中精力与贫穷作斗争——当在国内实施那些它们在国际贸易中获益的相同的规则时或许行动较为迟缓;还有一些整体富裕但按人均所得较贫困的国家,甚至可能认为那些规则并不适用于它们。
