国务卿约翰·克里2014阴历新年声明

January 31, 2014

2014年1月31日

On behalf of President Obama and the American people, I am delighted to extend best wishes to the many people around the world who celebrate the arrival of the Lunar New Year on January 31.

我很高兴代表欧巴马总统和美国人民向世界各地在1月31日庆祝阴历新年的众多人民表示最良好的祝愿。

In this festive time, we should all take a moment to pause and reflect on the shared humanity that ties us together – not just here in America, but around the world.

在节日到来之际， 我们应该利用这个机会思考把我们联系在一起的共同人性—不仅在美国， 而且在全世界。

As a Pacific nation, the United States is deeply committed to strengthening our partnerships throughout the Asia-Pacific.

作为一个太平洋国家，美国高度承诺加强我们在整个亚太地区的伙伴关系。

That’s why President Obama recently announced the Young Southeast Asian Leaders Initiative. That’s why we’re investing in the Fulbright Program. And that’s why we’re deepening our economic cooperation, improving regional security, and advancing mutual understanding across cultures, faiths, and nations.

正是因为如此，欧巴马总统不久前宣布了“东南亚青年领袖行动计划”。正是因为如此，我们正为富布赖特项目投入资源。正是因为如此，我们正在深化我们的经济合作，加强地区安全，促进与各种文化、信仰和国家的相互理解。

As millions around the world welcome the Year of the Horse, the United States sends heartfelt wishes for good health and prosperity. May the New Year bring ever greater cooperation in pursuit of our common goals.

值此全世界各地千百万人迎来马年之际，美国衷心祝愿诸位身体健康，兴旺发达。愿新的一年为我们实现共同目标促成更大程度的合作。
