一谈今后如何取得进展,并为建设长盛不衰的经济制定蓝图——以美国制造业、美国能源、美国劳工的技能以及继续发扬美国价值观为出发点的经济。 Now, this blueprint begins with American manufacturing. 这份蓝图以美国制造业为开端。

On the day I took office, our auto industry was on the verge of collapse. Some even said we should let it die. With a million jobs at stake, I refused to let that happen. In exchange for help, we demanded responsibility. We got workers and automakers to settle their differences. We got the industry to retool and restructure. Today, General Motors is back on top as the world’s number-one automaker. (Applause.) Chrysler has grown faster in the U.S. than any major car company. Ford is investing billions in U.S. plants and factories. And together, the entire industry added nearly 160,000 jobs.

在我就职之日,我国的汽车产业正濒临崩溃。有些人甚至说我们应该任其消亡。但这事关上百万个就业岗位,我拒绝让这种情况发生。作为提供帮助的交换条件,我们要求他们负起责任。我们让工人和汽车制造商解决他们的分歧。我们让汽车产业更新设备,重新改组。今天,通用汽车(General Motors)重新坐上世界头号汽车制造商的宝座。(掌声) 克莱斯勒(Chrysler)在美国的增长速度比其他任何大型汽车公司都快。福特(Ford)正在美国的车间和厂房挹注数十亿美元的资金。整个汽车产业总计增加了将近16万个就业岗位。

We bet on American workers. We bet on American ingenuity. And tonight, the American auto industry is back. (Applause.)

我们坚信美国的劳动者。我们坚信美国的创新能力。今晚,美国汽车产业已经东山再起。(掌声。)

What’s happening in Detroit can happen in other industries. It can happen in Cleveland and Pittsburgh and Raleigh. We can’t bring every job back that’s left our shore. But right now, it’s getting more expensive to do business in places like China. Meanwhile, America is more productive. A few weeks ago, the CEO of Master Lock told me that it now makes business sense for him to bring jobs back home. (Applause.) Today, for the first time in 15 years, Master Lock’s unionized plant in Milwaukee is running at full capacity. (Applause.)

在底特律(Detroit)发生的事情也可以在其他行业发生。它可以在克里夫兰(Cleveland)、匹茲堡(Pittsburgh)和罗利(Raleigh)发生。我们不可能把所有流失到海外的工作都找回来,但是现在,在诸如中国等地从事经营的成本越来越高。与此同时,美国的生产效率也越来越高。几周前,玛斯特锁(Master Lock)公司的首席执行长告诉我,在他看来,把就业岗位带回美国现在是明智的经营之道。(掌声) 今天,玛斯特锁公司坐落在密尔沃基

(Milwaukee)实行工会制的工厂已全面投产,这是15年来的第一次。(掌声)

So we have a huge opportunity, at this moment, to bring manufacturing back. But we have to seize it. Tonight, my message to business leaders is simple: Ask yourselves what you can do to bring jobs back to your country, and your country will do everything we can to help you succeed. (Applause.)

因此,我们面前有一个把制造业迁回来的大好机会,可是我们必须抓住机会。今晚,我对企业领导人要说的话很简单:问一问你们自己怎样才能把工作机会带回美国,你们的国家就会尽一切努力助你们成功。(掌声)

We should start with our tax code. Right now, companies get tax breaks for moving jobs and profits overseas. Meanwhile, companies that choose to stay in America get hit with one of the highest tax rates in the world. It makes no sense, and everyone knows it. So let’s change it.

我们应该从我国的税法入手。目前,公司把工作和利润移到海外会获得税收优惠。与此同时,选择留在美国的公司却要承受在全球最高之列的税率。这样做没有道理,人人都知道这一点。因此我们必须着手改革。

First, if you’re a business that wants to outsource jobs, you shouldn’t get a tax deduction for doing it. (Applause.) That money should be used to cover moving expenses for companies like Master Lock that decide to bring jobs home. (Applause.)

首先,如果你是想要外包的企业,你就不应当因此获得减税。(掌声) 这笔钱应当用来贴补像玛斯特锁等决定把工作迁回美国的公司的搬迁费用。(掌声)

Second, no American company should be able to avoid paying its fair share of taxes by moving jobs and profits overseas. (Applause.) From now on, every multinational company should have to pay a basic minimum tax. And every penny should go towards lowering taxes for companies that choose to stay here and hire here in America. (Applause.)

其次,任何美国公司都不能通过把工作和利润移到海外而逃避公平纳税。(掌声) 从现在起,每个跨国公司都应当支付基本的最低税金。每一分钱都应当用来为选择留在美国并雇用美国人力的公司减税。(掌声)

Third, if you’re an American manufacturer, you should get a bigger tax cut. If you’re a high-tech manufacturer, we should double the tax deduction you get for making your products here. And if you want to relocate in a community that was hit hard when a factory left town, you should get help financing a new plant, equipment, or training for new workers. (Applause.)

第三,如果你是美国制造商,你就应当获得幅度更大的减税。如果你是高科技制造商,我们

应当为你在美国本地制造产品而加倍减税。如果你想迁入一个因为工厂迁出而受到重创的社区,你在为新工厂、设备或者新员工培训融资时应当得到帮助。(掌声)

So my message is simple. It is time to stop rewarding businesses that ship jobs overseas, and start rewarding companies that create jobs right here in America. 我要说的很简单。现在应当停止奖励将工作迁到海外的企业,而应当开始奖励在美国国内创造就业岗位的企业。

Send me these tax reforms, and I will sign them right away. (Applause.) 把这些税法改革方案交给我,我会立刻签署。(掌声)

We’re also making it easier for American businesses to sell products all over the world. Two years ago, I set a goal of doubling U.S. exports over five years. With the bipartisan trade agreements we signed into law, we’re on track to meet that goal ahead of schedule. (Applause.) And soon, there will be millions of new customers for American goods in Panama, Colombia, and South Korea. Soon, there will be new cars on the streets of Seoul imported from Detroit, and Toledo, and Chicago. (Applause.)

我们还使美国工商企业更容易在全世界各地销售产品。两年前,我提出美国出口在5年内翻一番的目标。随着两党一致的各项贸易协定经我们签署成为法律,我们正朝着这个目标稳步迈进——并可超前实现。(掌声) 不久以后,美国产品将在巴拿马(Panama)、哥伦比亚(Colombia)和韩国(South Korea)获得数以百万计的新顾客。不久以后,来自底特律、托利多(Toledo)和芝加哥(Chicago)的新进口汽车将在首尔(Seoul)街头出现。(掌声)

I will go anywhere in the world to open new markets for American products. And I will not stand by when our competitors don’t play by the rules. We’ve brought trade cases against China at nearly twice the rate as the last administration –- and it’s made a difference. (Applause.) Over a thousand Americans are working today because we stopped a surge in Chinese tires. But we need to do more. It’s not right when another country lets our movies, music, and software be pirated. It’s not fair when foreign manufacturers have a leg up on ours only because they’re heavily subsidized.

我将前往全世界任何地方为美国产品打开新市场。当我们的竞争对手不按规则行事的时候,我不会坐视不顾。我们对中国提起贸易诉讼的案例数量是上一届政府的近两倍,而且已经看到成效。(掌声)由于我们制止了中国轮胎的倾销,一千多名美国人在今天得以有工作。可是我们需要再接再厉。当另一个国家听任我们的影片、音乐和软件被盗版,这是不对的。当外国制造商只因受到大量补贴而取得高于我们的优势,这是不公平的。

Tonight, I’m announcing the creation of a Trade Enforcement Unit that will be

charged with investigating unfair trading practices in countries like China. (Applause.) There will be more inspections to prevent counterfeit or unsafe goods from crossing our borders. And this Congress should make sure that no foreign company has an advantage over American manufacturing when it comes to accessing financing or new markets like Russia. Our workers are the most productive on Earth, and if the playing field is level, I promise you -– America will always win. (Applause.)

今晚,我宣布创建一个―贸易执法单位‖(Trade Enforcement Unit),负责调查中国等国的不公平贸易作法。(掌声)我们将加强检验,防止假冒或者不安全的商品跨越边境进入我国。本届国会应做到勿使外国公司在取得融资或者进入俄罗斯等新市场方面取得高于美国制造商的优势。我们的工人是全世界生产效率最高的,如果有一个公平的竞争环境,我敢保证,美国将永远立于不败之地。(掌声)

I also hear from many business leaders who want to hire in the United States but can’t find workers with the right skills. Growing industries in science and technology have twice as many openings as we have workers who can do the job. Think about that –- openings at a time when millions of Americans are looking for work. It’s inexcusable. And we know how to fix it.

我也听到许多企业领导人说,他们想要在美国雇用人手,但却找不到拥有他们所需技能的人员。不断发展的科学和技术产业需要招聘的人员数量是能够胜任这类工作的人员的两倍。思考一下这个现象——这些在数百万美国人找工作的时候依然空缺的岗位。没有任何借口可言。而我们也知道如何补救。

Jackie Bray is a single mom from North Carolina who was laid off from her job as a mechanic. Then Siemens opened a gas turbine factory in Charlotte, and formed a partnership with Central Piedmont Community College. The company helped the college design courses in laser and robotics training. It paid Jackie’s tuition, then hired her to help operate their plant.

杰基·布雷(Jackie Bray)是北卡罗莱纳(North Carolina)的一位单身母亲,当过机械师,但被裁员。当时西门子公司(Siemens)在夏洛特(Charlotte)开办了一家天然气汽轮机厂,并与中部皮埃蒙特社区学院(Central Piedmont Community College)结成了伙伴关系。西门子公司帮助该学院设计激光和机器人技术培训方面的课程。公司为杰基付了培训费用,然后雇用她来工厂工作。

I want every American looking for work to have the same opportunity as Jackie did. Join me in a national commitment to train 2 million Americans with skills that will lead directly to a job. (Applause.) My administration has already lined up more companies that want to help. Model partnerships between businesses like Siemens and community colleges in places like Charlotte, and Orlando, and
