主题：只能自由的失声——眯看奥八坦承直言之后 -- 黑岛人

On China, Obama said the United States was not interested in constraining the Asian giant's booming growth or emergence as a world power but that the country must take seriously the responsibilities that come with that role.

有关中国，奥巴马说美国无意阻挠这个亚洲巨人成为世界强权的雄心和迫切要求，但中国必须严肃对待成为世界强权这个角色后应付的责任。

Asked about China's commitment to fighting global warming, Obama said China's leaders understand they need to decide on a new model that allows the country to pursue its growth while protecting the environment.

在问及中国承诺对抗全球暖化的问题时，奥巴马说：中国的领导人明白他们需要一种新的模式，使得他们在追求经济增长的同时保护环境。

"Right now though, their impulse is to say, well, we'll let the developed countries, the Australias and the Americas, deal with this problem first and we'll deal with it when we've caught up a little bit in terms of our standard of living," he said.

他（奥巴马）说：“现在，他们（中国领导人）的内心深处潜台词要说的是：我们要让澳大利亚、美国这些发达国家先解决这些（环境）问题。而我们（中国）要等我们的生活水平略微追上（发达国家）之后再解决这些问题。”

"The point we've tried to make is that we can't allow China to wait."

“我们要指出的是，我们不能让中国等（在环保问题上无所作为）。”
