   Today, technology has made us all virtual neighbors. From laptops to lasers, from microchips to megabytes, an information revolution is lighting 1 the landscape of human knowledge, bringing us all closer together. Ideas, information, and money cross the planet at the stroke of a computer key, bringing with them extraordinary opportunities to create wealth, to prevent and conquer disease, to foster greater understanding among peoples of different histories and different cultures.


  今天,高科技使我们天涯若比邻。从笔记本电脑到激光技术、从微芯片到兆字节储存器,信息革命正在照亮人类知识领域,将我们更紧密地联结起来。人们只要敲一下电脑的键盘,观念、信息和资金就能跨越全球,为人们创造财富、预防和征服疾病、加深具有不同历史和文化背景人民之间的了解,带来了极大的机会。
  But we also know that this greater openness and faster change mean that problems which start beyond one nations borders can quickly move inside them—the spread of weapons of mass destruction, the threats of organized crime and drug trafficking, of environmental degradation 2, and severe economic dislocation. No nation can isolate 3 itself from these problems, and no nation can solve them alone. We, especially the younger generations of China and the United States, must make common cause of our common challenges, so that we can, together, shape a new century of brilliant possibilities.
  但我们也知道,更大的开放和更快的变革也意味着,别国产生的问题会很快蔓延到本国境内,如大规模毁灭性武器的扩散、有组织的犯罪和贩卖毒品的威胁、环境的恶化和严重的经济混乱等问题。没有哪个国家能避免这些问题,没有哪个国家能独自解决这些问题。我们,特别是中美两国的年轻一代必须以迎接这些共同的挑战为共同的事业,共创一个光辉灿烂的新世纪。
  In the 21st century—your century—China and the United States will face the challenge of security in Asia. On the Korean Peninsula, where once we were adversaries 4, today we are working together for a permanent peace and a future freer of nuclear weapons.
  二十一世纪是你们的世纪。中美两国将面临亚洲安全的挑战。我们两国曾在朝鲜半岛为敌,现在我们携手合作,为一个永久和平和无核武器的未来而努力。
