I think so many of us, we get caught up with wanting to make money for ourselves and have a nice car and have a nice house and -- all those things are important, but the people who really make their mark on the world is because they have a bigger ambition. They say, how can I help feed hungry people? Or, how can I help to teach children who don't have an education? Or, how can I bring about peaceful resolution of conflicts? Those are the people I think who end up making such a big difference in the world. And I'm sure that young people like you are going to be able to make that kind of difference as long as you keep working the way you've been working.

我想,我们许多人都会忙于给自己挣钱,买一辆好车,买一座舒适的房子——所有这些都重要,但是那些真正对世界产生永久性影响的人是因为他们有远大的理想。他们问自己:我如何帮助更多的人免遭饥饿?我如何帮助没上过学的儿童接受教育?我如何帮助以和平方式化解冲突?我认为只有这样的人才能最终对世界产生重大影响。我相信,只要像你们这样的年轻人继续努力下去,就能够产生这样的影响。

All right? All right, this is going to be the last question, unfortunately. We've run out of time so quickly. Our last Internet question, because I want to make sure that we got all three of our fine students here.

还有问题吗?好,这是最后一个问题。很遗憾,时间过得真快,最后回答一个网友的提问,因为我希望确保我们这三位出色的学生都有机会提问。

问:总统先生,很荣幸能提最后一个问题。我是复旦大学的学生,今天我也是中国青年[听不清]的代表。我想这是一个来自北京的问题:非常关注您的阿富汗政策。他想知道,恐怖主义是否仍然是美国最大的安全威胁?您如何评估在阿富汗的军事行动?它是否会演变成另一场伊拉克战争?非常感谢您。

Q Mr. President, it's a great honor for the last question. And I'm a college student from Fudan University, and today I'm also the representative of China's Youth (inaudible.) And this question I think is from Beijing: Paid great attention to your Afghanistan policies, and he would like to know whether terrorism is still the greatest security concern for the United States? And how do you assess the military actions in Afghanistan, or whether it will turn into another Iraqi war? Thank you very much.

PRESIDENT OBAMA: I think that's an excellent question. Well, first of all, I do continue to believe that the greatest threat to United States' security are the terrorist networks like al Qaeda. And the reason is, is because even though they are small in number, what they have shown is, is that they have no conscience when it comes to the destruction of innocent civilians. And because of technology today, if an organization like that got a weapon of mass destruction on its hands -- a nuclear or a chemical or a biological weapon -- and they used it in a city, whether it's in Shanghai or New York, just a few individuals could potentially kill tens of thousands of people, maybe hundreds of thousands. So it really does pose an extraordinary threat.

奥巴马总统:我认为这是一个非常好的问题。首先,我继续认为美国安全面临的最大威胁是像“基地”组织那样的恐怖主义网络。原因是,虽然他们人数很少,但他们已经表明他们毫无人性,不惜滥杀无辜民众。由于今天的技术,如果一个这样的组织得到大规模毁灭性武器——例如核武器、化学武器或生物武器——并且在一个城市使用,无论是在上海还是纽约,少数几个人就可能杀害数万人甚至数十万人。因此,这的确构成极大的威胁。
