While the United States and China -- as you have pointed out, Mr. Vice President -- will not always see eye to eye, it is a sign of the strength and maturity of our relationship that we can be candid about our differences as we have been. We saw this in the recent U.N. Security Council debate about Syria, where we strongly disagreed with China and Russia’s veto of a resolution against the unconscionable violence being perpetrated by the Assad regime.

副主席先生，正如你所指出的那样，美国与中国不会总是看法一致，但这也是我们两国关系的力量与成熟的标志，它表明我们可以坦诚地面对我们会有的各种分歧。我们在联合国安理会最近关于叙利亚的辩论中看到这一点，我们强烈反对中国和俄罗斯否决一项制止阿萨德政权恣意施暴的决议。

And as was brought up by the President in his meeting with you and my meeting with you as well, we see our advocacy for human rights as a fundamental aspect of our foreign policy and we believe a key to the prosperity and stability of all societies. We have been clear about our concern over the areas in which from our perspective conditions in China have deteriorated and about the plightof several very prominent individuals. And we appreciate your response.

在奥巴马总统与您会晤以及在我本人与您会谈的时候都提出了这样一个问题，我们把维护人权视为我国外交政策的一项基本内容，而且我们认为它是所有社会的繁荣与稳定的关键。我们明确地表达我们对一些领域的关切——在我们看来中国在这些领域的状况有所恶化，明确地表达对几位非常著名的人士所处困境的看法。我们感谢您的答复。
