问：我提的这个问题来自互联网。我要谢谢总统先生在您任期内第一年访问中国，在中国与我们交换意见。我想知道您这次访问中国给中国带来什么，您又将带什么回美国？（掌声）
Q I want to pose a question from the Internet. I want to thank you, Mr. President, for visiting China in your first year in office, and exchange views with us in China. I want to know what are you bringing to China, your visit to China this time, and what will you bring back to the United States? (Applause.)
PRESIDENT OBAMA: The main purpose of my trip is to deepen my understanding of China and its vision for the future. I have had several meetings now with President Hu. We participated together in the G20 that was dealing with the economic financial crisis. We have had consultations about a wide range of issues. But I think it's very important for the United States to continually deepen its understanding of China, just as it's important for China to continually deepen its understanding of the United States.
奥巴马总统：我这次访问的主要目的是，加深了解中国以及中国对未来的展望。我与胡主席已经有多次会晤。我们共同参加了应对经济金融危机的20国集团会议。我们就一系列广泛议题进行了磋商。但是我认为，美国继续加深对中国的了解非常重要，正如中国也同样需要继续加深了解美国。
In terms of what I'd like to get out of this meeting, or this visit, in addition to having the wonderful opportunity to see the Forbidden City and the Great Wall, and to meet with all of you -- these are all highlights -- but in addition to that, the discussions that I intend to have with President Hu speak to the point that Ambassador Huntsman made earlier, which is there are very few global challenges that can be solved unless the United States and China agree.
至于我希望从这次会晤或从这次访问中看到什么成果，除了借这个绝好的机会参观故宫和长城，并与在座的各位见面——这些都是主要内容——我还打算与胡主席讨论一个要点，也就是洪博培大使前面谈到的，没有美国和中国的共识，就无法战胜多少全球性的挑战。
So let me give you a specific example, and that is the issue we were just discussing of climate change. The United States and China are the world's two largest emitters of greenhouse gases, of carbon that is causing the planet to warm. Now, the United States, as a highly developed country, as I said before, per capita, consumes much more energy and emits much more greenhouse gases for each individual than does China. On the other hand, China is growing at a much faster pace and it has a much larger population. So unless both of our countries are willing to take critical steps in dealing with this issue, we will not be able to resolve it.
我来举一个具体例子，这就是我们刚刚谈到的气候变化问题。美国和中国是世界上最大的两个温室气体放排及碳排放国，这种排放导致地球变暖。如我在前面所说，美国作为一个高度发达的国家，人均能源消耗量和温室气体排放量比中国高得多。另一方面，中国的增长速度更快，人口更多。因此，除非我们两国有意愿在这个问题上采取关键步骤，否则我们就无法解决这个问题。
