The Norwegian Nobel Committee has decided that the Nobel Peace Prize for 2009 is to be awarded to President Barack Obama for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples. The Committee has attached special importance to Obama's vision of and work for a world without nuclear weapons.
挪威諾貝爾委員會決定將2009年諾貝爾和平獎授予巴拉克·奧巴馬總統(tǒng)，表彰他為加強國際外交和人民之間的合作所作的杰出貢獻。委員會尤其注重奧巴馬提出的無核武世界的愿景和他為之做出的努力。
Obama has as President created a new international climate. Politic multilateral diplomacy has regained a central position, with emphasis on the role that the United Nations and other international institutions can play. Dialogue and negotiations are preferred as instruments for resolving even the most difficult (international) conflicts. The vision of a world free from nuclear arms has powerfully stimulated disarmament and arms control negotiations. Thanks to Obama's initiative, the United States is now playing a more constructive role in meeting the great climatic challenges the world is confronting. Democracy and human rights are to be strengthened.
作為總統(tǒng)，奧巴馬創(chuàng)造了國際政治的新氣象。多邊外交重新占據(jù)中心位置，突出聯(lián)合國和其它國際機構的作用。對話和協(xié)商被作為解決即使是最困難的國際沖突的首選手段。無核武世界的愿景有力推動了裁軍和軍備控制談判。由于奧巴馬的主張，美國現(xiàn)在在應對世界面臨的巨大氣候挑戰(zhàn)中發(fā)揮出了更富有建設性的作用。民主和人權將得到加強。
Only very rarely has a person to the same extent as Obama captured the world's attention and given its people hope for a better future. His diplomacy is founded in the concept that those who are to lead the world must do so on the basis of values and attitudes that are shared by the majority of the world's population.
世界上鮮有人具有奧巴馬這樣的全球感召力并讓自己的人民對更美好的未來充滿希望。他的外交所基于的理念是，世界領袖必須按照世界大多數(shù)人所認同的價值和觀念去行動。
For 108 years, the Norwegian Nobel Committee has sought to stimulate precisely that international policy and those attitudes for which Obama is now the world's leading spokesman. The Committee endorses Obama's appeal that "Now is the time for all of us to take our share of responsibility for a global response to global challenges."
108年來，挪威諾貝爾委員會一直致力于促進的正是這種國際政策與姿態(tài)，而現(xiàn)在奧巴馬是它在世界上的主要代表。委員會贊同奧巴馬的呼吁：“現(xiàn)在是我們大家承擔自身責任，對全球性挑戰(zhàn)作出全球性回應的時候了?！?/p>
