Message from President Obama to the People of Burundi
奥巴马:布隆迪应该团结起来
Today I want to speak directly to you, the people of Burundi.Burundi is a proud and beautiful country. But in recent months, the future of the land you love has been put at risk. Leaders have spewed hateful rhetoric. Terrible acts of violence have taken the lives of innocent men, women, and children. From Burundi's painful past,we know where this kind of violence can lead.
布隆迪人民，我今天直接向你们发表讲话。布隆迪是一个自豪美丽的国度。但是最近几个月，你们热爱的这片土地的未来被置于危险中。领导们发表了令人深恶痛绝的言论。暴力恐怖行为夺走了无辜的男子，女子和儿童的生命。通过布隆迪痛苦的过去，我们知道这种暴力行为会导致什么样的后果。
Today, you have the chance to choose a different path.And you are not alone.For many years, your partners in the region, and the United States have worked to help you build a peaceful and stronger country.I speak to you now as your partner, and friend.To Burundi's leaders, now is the time to put aside the language of hate and division.Follow through on your commitment to participate in an international and mediated dialogue outside of Burundi.
今天，你们有机会选择一条不同的道路。你们不是孤单一人。多年来，你们在该地区的合作伙伴以及美国一直努力帮助你们建立一个更加和平，更加强大的国家。现在，我是作为你们的合作伙伴，作为你们的朋友讲话的。对布隆迪的领导来说，现在是时候放弃语言的分歧和憎恨了。遵守你们的诺言，在布隆迪以外进行国际社会斡旋的对话。
After all, real strength is the ability to unify a country, not tear it apart.To Burundi's military, you represent Burundi's ability to overcome divisions and unite.You are Burundi's sons and daughters.You've helped keep peace across Africa.Now, you can help keep peace at home,by staying out of political conflicts,and protecting the people of Burundi.
毕竟，真正的实力是将一个国家统一的能力，而不是将其分裂。对布隆迪军队来说，你们代表着布隆迪克服分歧，团结统一的能力。你们都是布隆迪的儿女。你们曾经帮助维护非洲的和平。现在，你们也能够维护国内的和平，置身于政治冲突之外，保护布隆迪人民。
And to all Burundians,remember what you can achieve when you stand together.How you emerged from colonialism,and built a new nation.After civil war and strife,you've worked to rebuild.You've seen the possibility of a better,more peaceful future.
对所有布隆迪人民来说，要记住，通过团结一致，你们可以得到怎样美好的未来。你们是如何从殖民主义中走出来，建立新的国家的。经过内战和斗争之后，你们是如何重建的。你们已经看到了拥有更美好，更和平的未来的可能性。
Don't let political rivalry,or the voices of hate take that away from you.
不要让政治敌对或憎恨的声音剥夺了你们的未来。
You are one people. And now is the time to stand against violence.And to begin the hard work of uniting.The future of your country,the future you want for your children, is in your hands.
作为人民，你们是一个整体。现在你们应该站起来反对暴力，开始统一的艰难道路。你们国家的未来，你们想为孩子创造的未来就在你们的手中。
