President Obama has described his landmark 1 visit to Havana as a historic opportunity. Addressing the staff at the UN embassy at the start of a three-day trip, Mr Obama said he hoped future generations would see such a visit as entirely 2 natural. This is a historic visit and an extraordinary opportunity to engage directly with Cuban people, and to forge new agreements and commercial deals, to build new ties between our two peoples, and for me, to lay out my vision for a future that's brighter than our past. Mr Obama is the first sitting US president to set foot on Cuban soil in 88 years. Will Grant was at the airport in Havana when he arrived. Just as president Obama arrives, the heavens opened but it's gonna take more than a little rain to dampen the expectations, dampen the spirits of Cuban people who are desperate to see him on Cuban soil. And with that, president Obama emerged from Airforce1 with Michelle off his side. Under the umbrella behind him, his daughters, Sasha and Malia, who've come as this's family trip to but of course, one of the most historic visits that he would make as a president, one of the most important moments in the US-Cuba relationship. The president and his families have toured capital's old town where only a few hundred people turned out to greet him.


美国总统奥巴马将对哈瓦那的访问描述为历史性的机遇。在开始为期三天的访问之前,奥巴马对联合国大使馆工作人员发表讲话,称希望后代人将这次访问看成一件自然的事情。这是一次历史性的访问,是一次与古巴人民直接接触的机会,并为我们两国人民建立新的关系,建立新的协议和商业协议,建立一个比的过去更美好的未来。这是88年来,美国总统首次对踏上古巴土壤。古巴外长罗得里格斯将在机场迎接。奥巴马抵达古巴时,天空下起细雨,似乎要浇灭古巴人们渴望看到奥巴马的心情。奥巴马携第一夫人米歇尔·奥巴马以及两个女儿萨沙和玛利亚进行访问。这将是奥巴马作为美国总统重要性的时刻,同时,也将为巴美关系建立里程碑。奥巴马总统和他的家人参观了首都的老城,但只有几百人在那里迎接他。


 Mr Obama also visited Cuba's baroque Cathedral, where he was greeted by the archbishop who helped facilitated secret US-Cuba talks in 2014. Mr Obama will meet the Cuban president Raúl Castro on Monday for talks, the two leaders say, will include trade and political reform. From Havana, Barbara Plett-Usher has more on the Cuban government's perspective on the visit. Though on the one hand, they have made it clear that they want to be opening up to the US. They want the relationships to be restored. They would like to see the embargo 3 fully 4 lifted which is not the case because congress has to do that but they have clearly made a decision to move in this direction. But on the other hand, the US is a historic enemy. There is a lot of suspicion of its actions. They have in the past tried to topple the government, tried to undermine the government. And in fact, the government here has kind of defined its legitimacy 5 in opposition 6 to the US.


奥巴马还访问了古巴的巴洛克大教堂 ,在那里他受到了大主教的热烈欢迎。大主教推动了2014年巴美之间的秘密会谈。奥巴马将于周一与古巴总统劳拉·卡斯克罗举行会谈,两国领导人称这次会谈将包括商业以及政治改革。记者从哈瓦发回详细报道。虽然,古巴已经明确表示会向美国开放,希望恢复和美国的关系,完全取消禁运,并且他们也在向这方面努力。但另一方面。美国是历史性的敌人,关于美国的举措还有很多怀疑的猜测。过去,美国试图推翻古巴政府。但实际上,这也对反对美国政府的一种合法解释。
