2011年8月14日中国，北京
Welcome to the U.S. Ambassador’s residence. Thank you all very much for coming here on a hot Sunday afternoon in Beijing – don’t worry, we have some refreshments waiting for you.
欢迎来到美国大使官邸。非常谢谢你们大家，在北京一个炎热的周日下午来到这里——不用担心，我们已经为你们准备了一些茶点。
Let me begin by saying how deeply honored I am to have this opportunity to serve the President and the people of the United States of America. My wife Mona and our children Emily, Dylan, and Madeline are all very excited to move here to Beijing to build new friendships between the people of the United States and China and to continue to expand our two countries’ growing cooperation on key bilateral and international issues.
首先，我深感荣幸能有这个机会为美利坚合众国的总统和人民服务。我的妻子莫纳和我们的孩子埃米利、迪伦和马迪林都很兴奋搬到北京，在美国和中国人们之间建立新的友谊，继续扩展我们两国在关键双边和国际事务上正在增长的合作。
The United States and China have a profoundly important and complex diplomatic and economic bilateral relationship – one with challenges, no question, but one which also holds great promise for expanded cooperation and collaboration. I look forward to working with the Chinese Government to fulfill that promise, but more importantly, to build the positive, cooperative, and comprehensive relationship to which President Obama and President Hu aspire.
美国和中国有着极其重要和复杂的外交和经济双边关系——这一关系有挑战，这是毫无疑问的，但也有扩展合作和协作的极大希望。我期盼与中国政府共同努力实现这种希望，但更重要的，创建欧巴马总统与胡主席均追求的积极、合作和全面的关系。
