7、ike you across the globe.我今天来到这里，是因为我知道，我们的未来，取决于全世界像你们这样的年轻人之间的联系。Thats why when my husband and I travel abroad, we dont just visit palaces and parliaments and meet with heads of state.这也是为什么我们夫妇在国外访问时，不只参观宫殿、议会和会晤国家元首。我们也来到学校，与像你们一样的学生见面。Because we believe that relationships between nations are no

8、t just about relationship between governments or leaderstheyre about relationships between people, particularly our young people.因为我们相信，国与国之间的关系不只是政府或领导人之间的关系，它们是人民间特别是年轻人之间的关系。So we view study abroad programs not just as an educational opportunity f or studentsbut also as a vital part of Americas f

11、的关键。Because getting ahead in todays workplaces isnt just about getting good grades or test scores in school which are importantits also about having real experience with the world beyond your borders - experience with languages, cultures and societies very different from your own.因为要走在当今职场的前沿，只在学校里取

12、得好成绩是不够的，当然成绩也很重要。还应拥有国境外的真实体验：体验完全不同的语言、文化和社会。Or, as the Chinese saying goes: “It is better to travel ten thousand miles than to read ten thousand books.”正如中国的一句古话所说：“读万卷书，不如行万里路。”But lets be clear, studying abroad is about so much more than improving your own future - its also about shaping the fu

13、ture of your countries and of the world we all share.我想要说的是，出国留学绝不仅是改善你们自己的未来，它也关乎塑造你们的国家、关乎我们共有的世界的未来。Because when it comes to the defining challenges of our time - whether its climate change, or economic opportunity, or the spread of nuclear weapons.these are shared challenges.因为我们这个时代的决定性挑战一一无论是气

14、侯变化、经济机遇，还是核武器扩散一一这些都是我们共同的挑战。No one country can confront them alone.the only way forward is together.没有任何一个国家能够单独应对它们唯一的出路就是共同携手。Thats why its so important for young people like you to live and study in each others countries.Because thats how you develop that habit of cooperation - you do it by imp

15、roving yourself in someones cultureby learning each others storiesand by getting past the stereotypes and misconceptions that too often divide us.这就是为什么年轻人到彼此国家学习和生活是如此重要。因为这是你们培养合作习惯的途径一一你们通过融入不同的文化，通过了解彼此的故事，通过跨越常常隔膜我们的成见和误解，来做到这一点。And thats how you realize that we all have a stake in each others success - that cures discovered here in Beijing could save lives in Americathe clean energy technologies from Silicon Valley in California could improve the environment here in
