美国总统奥巴马在开罗大学进行演讲

Thank you very much. Good afternoon. I am honored to be in the timeless city of Cairo， and to be hosted by two remarkable institutions. For over a thousand years， Al-Azhar has stood as a beacon of Islamic learning; and for over a century， Cairo University has been a source of Egypt’s advancement. And together， you represent the harmony between tradition and progress. I’m grateful for your hospitality， and the hospitality of the people of Egypt. And I’m also proud to carry with me the goodwill of the American people， and a greeting of peace from Muslim communities in my country： Assalaamu alaykum.

非常感谢你们。下午好。我荣幸地来到永恒的开罗古城，荣幸地受到两所著名学府的邀爱资哈尔一千多年来一直是一座伊斯兰学术的灯塔，开罗大学一百多年来一直是埃及发展的源泉。你们并肩而立，象征着传统与进步的和谐共进。我对你们的盛情邀请，对埃及人民的盛情邀请表示感谢。我也自豪地带来美国人民的友好情谊，带来我国穆斯林民众的平安问候： “Assalaamu alaykum.（“愿你平安。）

We meet at a time of great tension between the United States and Muslims around the world tension rooted in historical forces that go beyond any current policy debate. The relationship between Islam and the West includes centuries of coexistence and cooperation， but also conflict and religious wars. More recently， tension has been fed by colonialism that denied rights and opportunities to many Muslims， and a Cold War in which Muslim-majority countries were too often treated as proxies without regard to their own aspirations. Moreover， the sweeping change brought by modernity and globalization led many Muslims to view the West as hostile to the traditions of Islam.
