So, now, obviously difficult cultures may have different attitudes about the relationship between men and women, but I think it is the view of the United States that it is important for us to affirm the rights of women all around the world. And if we see certain societies in which women are oppressed, or they are not getting opportunities, or there is violence towards women, we will speak out.
当然,不同的文化对男性和女性之间的关系可能会有不同的态度,不过我认为美国的观点是,我们必须申明全世界妇女的权利。如果我们看到女性在一些社会中受到压迫,得不到机会,或遭受暴力,我们将大声疾呼。
Now, there may be some people who disagree with us, and we can have a dialogue about that. But we think it's important, nevertheless, to be true to our ideals and our values. And we -- and when we do so, though, we will always do so with the humility and understanding that we are not perfect and that we still have much progress to make. If you talk to women in America, they will tell you that there are still men who have a lot of old-fashioned ideas about the role of women in society. And so we don't claim that we have solved all these problems, but we do think that it's important for us to speak out on behalf of these universal ideals and these universal values.
有些人可能不同意我们的观点,我们可以就此展开对话。但我们认为有必要恪守我们的理念和价值观。当然,我们在这样做的时候必须谦逊,必须认识到我们自己并非十全十美,在很多问题上还有待取得进展。如果你们问一问美国妇女,她们会告诉你,有一些男性对妇女在社会中的地位还抱着老观念不放。因此,我们不能说我们解决了全部问题,但我们认为必须为这些普世理念和这些普世价值观大声疾呼。
