海地地震——奥巴马演讲

Good morning, everybody. This morning I want to extend to the people of Haiti the

deep condolences哀悼 and unwavering坚定 support of the American people

following yesterday’s terrible earthquake.

大家早上好。昨天，海地发生了强烈地震。在此我想对海地人民表达最深的问候，

美国人民将坚定地向海地提供援助。

We are just now beginning to learn the extent of the devastation, but the reports and

images that we’ve seen of collapsed hospitals, crumbled homes, and men and women

carrying their injured neighbors through the streets are truly heart-wrenching. Indeed,

for a country and a people who are no strangers to hardship and suffering, this tragedy

seems especially cruel and incomprehensible. Our thoughts and prayers are also with

the many Haitian-Americans around our country who do not yet know the fate of their

families and loved ones back home.

我们刚刚开始了解到地震所造成破坏的严重程度，我们从新闻报道和图片上看到

了倒塌的医院，变成废墟的房屋，人们在街上抬着受伤的邻居，场面十分令人心

痛。海地和海地人民已历尽苦难和伤痛，但这场灾难尤为无情、让人感到不可思

议。美国各地还有一些美籍海地人不知道远在家乡的家人和朋友的安危，我们与

他们感同身受、并为他们祈祷。

I have directed my administration to respond with a swift, coordinated, and aggressive

effort to save lives. The people of Haiti will have the full support of the United States

in the urgent effort to rescue those trapped beneath the rubble, and to deliver the

humanitarian relief — the food, water and medicine — that Haitians will need in the

coming days. In that effort, our government, especially USAID and the Departments

of State and Defense, are working closely together and with our partners in Haiti, the

region, and around the world.

我已下令政府以迅速、协调、积极的救援拯救生命。美国将全力支持海地人民，

我们将紧急援救被困灾民，并提供食品、水以及药品等人道主义救灾物资，以满

足海地人民未来几天的需要。美国政府，尤其是美国国际开发署、国务院和国防

部正与海地、加勒比地区以及全世界紧密合作，实施救援。

Right now our efforts are focused on several urgent priorities. First, we’re working

quickly to account for U.S. embassy personnel and their families in Port-au-Prince, as

well as the many American citizens who live and work in Haiti. Americans trying to

locate family members in Haiti are encouraged to contact the State Department at

(888) 407-4747. I’m going to repeat that — (888) 407-4747.

目前我们的救援活动主要集中于以下几个紧急的方面。首先，我们迅速查明了在

海地首都太子港的美国驻海地大使馆人员及其家人的情况，以及很多在海地生活

工作的美国公民的情况。寻亲者可联系美国国务院，寻亲热线为(888) 407-4747。

我再重复一遍，(888) 407-4747。

Second, we’ve mobilized resources to help rescue efforts. Military overflights have

assessed the damage, and by early afternoon our civilian disaster assistance team are

beginning to arrive. Search-and-rescue teams from Florida, Virginia and California

will arrive throughout today and tomorrow, and more rescue and medical equipment

and emergency personnel are being prepared.

其次，我们调动了人力和物资，支持救援。空军已对海地的受灾情况做出了估计，

今天中午之前，我们的平民伤亡救援小组将陆续抵达灾区。来自佛罗里达、维吉

尼亚和加利福尼亚的搜救组也将在今明两天陆续抵达。更多的救援和医疗设备，

以及紧急救护人员正在筹备之中。

Because in disasters such as this the first hours and days are absolutely critical to

saving lives and avoiding even greater tragedy, I have directed my teams to be as

forward-leaning as possible in getting the help on the ground and coordinating with

our international partners as well.

在这样的灾难中，最初的几个小时和几天是抢救生命，避免更大伤亡的关键。我

已命令我们的救援组在抵达灾区后及时开展援助，并与国际救援人员进行合作实

施救援。

Third, given the many different resources that are needed, we are taking steps to

ensure that our government acts in a unified way. My national security team has led

an interagency effort overnight. And to ensure that we coordinate our effort, going

forward, I’ve designated the administrator of the U.S. Agency for International

Development, Dr. Rajiv Shah, to be our government’s unified disaster coordinator.

第三，鉴于所需救援物资种类繁多，我们正采取措施，确保美国政府统一行动。

我们的国家安全人员连夜带头开展部际合作。为确保救援行动协调、顺利进行，

我已任命美国国际开发署署长拉吉夫 夏哈担任美国政府救灾行动总指挥。

Now, this rescue and recovery effort will be complex and challenging. As we move

resources into Haiti, we will be working closely with partners on the ground,

including the many N.G.O.’s from Haiti and across Haiti, the United Nations

Stabilization Mission, which appears to have suffered its own losses, and our partners

in the region and around the world. This must truly be an international effort.

此次救灾和灾后重建工作将非常复杂，极具挑战。在我们向海地运送救灾人员和

物资的过程中，我们将与地面人员紧密配合，包括海地的很多非政府组织，在此

次地震中伤亡惨重的联合国海地稳定特派团以及我们在该地区和世界各地的合

作机构等等。这是一次真正的国际合作行动。

Finally, let me just say that this is a time when we are reminded of the common

humanity that we all share. With just a few hundred miles of ocean between us and a

long history that binds us together, Haitians are neighbors of the Americas and here at

home. So we have to be there for them in their hour of need.

最后，我想说明一点，这次灾难提醒了我们共同拥有的人性。美国和海地之间相…… 此处隐藏：28813字，全部文档内容请下载后查看。喜欢就下载吧 ……
