    We can't exempt ourselves from the rules that applyto everybody else

    我们不能只要求别的国家遵守国际规则 而自己逍遥法外

    We can't call on others to make commitments tocombat climate change if a whole lot of our politicalleaders deny that it's taking place

    我们不能只要求别的国家在对抗气候变化方面作出承诺而自己国家的好多政治领导者都否认气候变化正在发生

    We can't try to resolve problems in the South China Sea when we have refused to make surethat the Law of the Sea Convention is ratified by our United States Senate

    我们不能指望通过国际规则解决南中国海问题而自己国家的参议院却拒绝批准海洋法公约我不知道参议院是怎么想的

    despite the fact that our top military leaders say the treaty advances our national security

    至少最高军事领袖们都一致认为这一公约能够促进国家安全

    That's not leadership; that's retreat

    国会的这种做法不是领导 而是退避

    That's not strength; that's weakness

    这表现出的不是强大 而是软弱

    It would be utterly foreign to leaders like Roosevelt and Truman Eisenhower and Kennedy

    罗斯福 杜鲁门 艾森豪威尔 肯尼迪等领袖肯定都不会同意这样做

    I believe in American exceptionalism with every fiber of my being

    我确实深信美国特殊主义

    But what makes us exceptional is not our ability to flout international norms and the rule oflaw it is our willingness to affirm them through our actions

    但美国的特殊并不体现在美国能够藐视国际准则和法律规范而应体现在我们贯彻落实它们的决心

    And that's why I will continue to push to close Gitmo because American values and legaltraditions do not permit the indefinite detention of people beyond our borders

    鉴于以上这些 我将继续努力促进关塔那摩监狱的关闭因为美国价值和法律传统不允许我们在境外无限期关押人员

    That's why we're putting in place new restrictions on how America collects and usesintelligence

    鉴于以上这些我们将对美国情报的收集和使用施加新的限制

    because we will have fewer partners and be less effective if a perception takes hold that we'reconducting surveillance against ordinary citizens

    如果美国给人留下的印象是对普通公民都要监督愿意同美国合作的人就会减少 合作效率也会降低
