Section A English to Chinese
Hello, everybody. As we close the books on one year and begin another, I wanted to take a moment today to wish you a very Happy New Year and talk a little bit about the year that lies ahead.
At the start of 2011, were still just emerging from a once-in-a-lifetime recession thats taken a terrible toll on millions of families. We all have friends and neighbors trying to get their lives back on track.
We are, however, riding a few months of economic news that suggests our recovery is gaining traction. And our most important task now is to keep that recovery going. As President, thats my commitment to you: to do everything I can to make sure our economy is growing, creating jobs, and strengthening our middle class. Thats my resolution for the coming year.
Still, even as we work to boost our economy in the short-term, its time to make some serious decisions about how to keep our economy strong, growing, and competitive in the long run. We have to look ahead not just to this year, but to the next 10 years, and the next 20 years. Where will new innovations come from? How will we attract the companies of tomorrow to set up shop and create jobs in our communities? What will it take to get those jobs? What will it take to out-compete other countries around the world? What will it take to see the American Dream come true for our children and grandchildren?
Our parents and grandparents asked themselves those questions. And because they had the courage to answer them, weve had the good fortune to grow up in the greatest nation on Earth.
Now its our turn to think about the future. In a few days, a new Congress will form, with one house controlled by Democrats, and one house controlled by Republicans who now have a shared responsibility to move this country forward. And heres what I want you to know: Im willing to work with anyone of either party whos got a good idea and the commitment to see it through. And we should all expect you to hold us accountable for our progress or our failure to deliver.
As Ive said since I first ran for this office, solving our challenges wont be quick or easy. We have come through a difficult decade; one of new threats and new trials we didnt expect when it began. But a new year and a new decade stretch out before us. And if we just remember what America is capable of, and live up to that legacy, then Im confident that we are poised for a period of progress one in which our economy is growing, our standing in the world is rising, and we do what it takes to make sure America remains in the 21st century what it was in the 20th: the greatest country in the world.
