Text of President Barack Obama's address to the nation after Friday's mass shooting at a Connecticut elementary school
This afternoon, I spoke with Governor Malloy and FBI Director Mueller. I offered Governor Malloy my condolences on behalf of the nation, and made it clear he will have every single resource that he needs to investigate this heinous crime, care for the victims, counsel their families.
今天下午，我同馬羅伊州長和聯邦調查局局長穆勒通了話。我代表國家向馬羅伊州長致以慰問，并明確他可以利用需要的所有資源去調查這起令人發指的罪行，照料受害者，安撫其家人。
We’ve endured too many of these tragedies in the past few years. And each time I learn the news I react not as a President, but as anybody else would — as a parent. And that was especially true today. I know there’s not a parent in America who doesn’t feel the same overwhelming grief that I do.
在過去幾年，我們經歷了太多這樣的悲劇。每次我得知這樣的消息，我的反應并不像一位總統，而是像其他所有人一樣——如同一個父親。今天，我更是深感如此。我知道，在美國，沒有一個父母不像我這樣悲痛欲絕。
The majority of those who died today were children — beautiful little kids between the ages of 5 and 10 years old. They had their entire lives ahead of them — birthdays, graduations, weddings, kids of their own. Among the fallen were also teachers — men and women who devoted their lives to helping our children fulfill their dreams.
今天逝去的大多數是孩子——5-10歲的天真爛漫的孩子。他們原本還有漫長的人生路要走，要過很多回生日、要畢業、結婚、然后有自己的孩子。同樣殞身的還有教師——無論性別，他們為幫助我們的孩子實現夢想獻出了生命。
So our hearts are broken today — for the parents and grandparents, sisters and brothers of these little children, and for the families of the adults who were lost. Our hearts are broken for the parents of the survivors as well, for as blessed as they are to have their children home tonight, they know that their children’s innocence has been torn away from them too early, and there are no words that will ease their pain.
慘案令人心碎——為了那些逝去孩子的父母、爺爺奶奶、兄弟姐妹，也為那些死去的成年人們的家人。我們的心同樣為那些幸存孩子的父母而破碎，他們能看到自己的孩子今晚回家是幸福的，但他們也知道孩子們的純真太早被撕裂了，沒有什么能夠緩釋父母的痛苦。
As a country, we have been through this too many times. Whether it’s an elementary school in Newtown, or a shopping mall in Oregon, or a temple in Wisconsin, or a movie theater in Aurora, or a street corner in Chicago — these neighborhoods are our neighborhoods, and these children are our children. And we’re going to have to come together and take meaningful action to prevent more tragedies like this, regardless of the politics.
作為一個國家，我們已經歷太多樁這樣的事情。不管是紐鎮的小學，還是俄勒岡的購物中心，抑或威斯康星州的錫克教神廟，或是丹佛奧羅拉的影院，還有芝加哥的街頭——這些社區是我們的社區，這些孩子也是我們的孩子。不論政治，我們必須共同努力，采取有意義的行動阻止這類悲劇再次發生。
This evening, Michelle and I will do what I know every parent in America will do, which is hug our children a little tighter and we’ll tell them that we love them, and we’ll remind each other how deeply we love one another. But there are families in Connecticut who cannot do that tonight. And they need all of us right now. In the hard days to come, that community needs us to be at our best as Americans. And I will do everything in my power as President to help.
今晚，米歇爾和我將做每個美國父母都會去做的事情，給我們的孩子一個更貼心的擁抱，并且向他們表達出我們的愛，我們要讓彼此知道，我們多么愛對方。但是，康涅狄格州的許多家庭今晚卻無法做到。他們現在就需要我們。在艱難的日子到來時，需要我們美國人積極應對。我作為總統將竭盡全力提供幫助。
Because while nothing can fill the space of a lost child or loved one, all of us can extend a hand to those in need — to remind them that we are there for them, that we are praying for them, that the love they felt for those they lost endures not just in their memories but also in ours.
沒有什么東西能夠填補人們失去孩子或心愛著的人之后的空白，我們所有人可以向需要的人伸出援手——提醒他們，我們就在身邊，為他們祈福，他們對逝者的愛不僅在他們的記憶中，也停留在我們的心房。
May God bless the memory of the victims and, in the words of Scripture, heal the brokenhearted and bind up their wounds.
借用圣經中的話，愿上帝保佑受難者的記憶，撫慰心碎者，助他們療傷。
