Last year, President Jiang and I asked senior Chinese and American law enforcement officials to step up our cooperation against these predators, to stop money from being laundered, to stop aliens from being cruelly smuggled, to stop currencies from being undermined by counterfeiting. Just this month, our drug enforcement agency opened an office in Beijing, and soon Chinese counternarcotics experts will be working out of Washington.
去年,我和江主席请求中美双方的高级执法官员加强合作,打击这些犯罪分子,防止洗钱,防止在恶劣的条件下走私人口,防止伪币破坏货币的信用。就在本月,我们的缉毒署在北京开设了办事处。不久,中国的缉毒专家也将在华盛顿开展工作。
In the 21st century, your generation must make it your mission to ensure that today's progress does not come at tomorrow's expense. China's remarkable growth in the last two decades has come with a toxic cost, pollutants that foul the water you drink and the air you breathe -- the cost is not only environmental, it is also serious in terms of the health consequences of your people and in terms of the drag on economic growth.
在二十一世纪,你们年轻一代的使命是必须保证今天的进步发展不以明天为代价。中国过去20年来的快速增长以遭受有素污染物的毒害为代价,贵国人民饮用的水和呼吸的空气都已遭受污染。这种代价不仅仅体现在环境方面,对人民的健康也造成了严重的危害,而且还会阻碍经济的发展。
Environmental problems are also increasingly global as well as national. For example, in the near future, if present energy use patterns persist, China will overtake the United States as the world's largest emitter of greenhouse gases, the gases which are the principal cause of global warming.
环境问题正在变得日趋全球化和全国化。例如,在不久的将来,如果目前的能源使用模式不改变,中国将超过美国成为世界最大的温室气体的排放国。温室气体是全球性升温的主要原因。
