Hi everybody.
大家好。
I'm talking with you today from Ivy Tech Community College in Indianapolis, where I just held a town hall and heard from everyday Americans about what we can do, together, to make their lives a little better.
今天我在印第安纳波利斯的艾维技术社区大学和你们交流，我刚刚在那里的市政厅听取了美国人每天都谈论的我们能共同做些什么使我们的生活改善一点。
This week, we got news that confirms what we already know-that our businesses continue to create jobs for hardworking folks all across the country.
本周，我们证实了我们已知的消息，我们的企业继续在全国范围内为我们勤奋的人们创造就业岗位。
Last month, America's businesses added another 267,000 jobs.
上个月，美国的企业又增加了267，000个就业岗位。
In 2014, our economy created more than 3.1 million jobs in all-the best year for job growth since the late 1990s.
2014年，我们的经济一共创造了超过3千1百万个就业岗位-这是自1990年代以来就业增长最好的一年。
All told, over the past 59 months, the private sector has added 11.8 million new jobs—the longest streak on record.
这一切表明，在过去的59个月里，私企板块创造了1千1百80万个新就业岗位-有史以来最长的增长时期。
And in the single most hopeful sign for middle class families, wages are rising again.
中产阶级家庭最希望的一个单一指标-工资重新开始增长了。
America is poised for another good year-as long as Washington works to keep this progress going.
美国已经枕戈待旦迎接另一个好年份-只要华盛顿继续努力保持这个增长势头。
We have to choose-will we accept an economy where only a few of us do spectacularly well, or will we build an economy where everyone who works hard can get ahead?
我们必须选择-我们是接受一个只有少数人特别富裕的经济呢，还是打造一个每个人只要努力就可以致富的经济呢？
Because while we've come a long way, we've got more work to do to make sure that our recovery reaches more Americans, not just those at the top.
因为尽管我们已经走了很长一段路，我们还是有很多工作要做来确保我们的复苏惠及每个美国人，而不仅仅是最富的那些人。
That's what middle-class economics is all about-the idea that this country does best when everyone gets their fair shot, does their fair share, and everyone plays by the same set of rules.
这就是中产阶级经济学的全部内容-一个每个人都公平地获得的机会，公平地尽他们的职责，并且在同一套规则下竞争这个国家就独占鳌头的理念。
This week, I sent Congress a budget built on middle-class economics.
本周，我提交给国会一份打造中产阶级经济学的预算。
It helps families afford childcare, health care, college, paid leave at work, homeownership, and saving for retirement, and it could put thousands of dollars back into the pockets of a working family each year.
它帮助各个家庭负担儿保、医疗、上大学、带薪病事假、自己拥有住房、为退休储备等，每年它将把几千美元放回工薪家庭的口袋。
It helps more Americans learn new skills to earn higher wages, including by making two years of community college free for responsible students all across the country.
它帮助更多年轻美国人学习获得高薪工作的新技能，包括让全国的负责任的学生们可以免费就读两年制社区大学。
It invests in the research and infrastructure our businesses need to compete and create high-paying jobs.
它投资于研究和我们的企业需要的基础设施以及创造高薪工作岗位。
And it pays for this with smart spending cuts and by fixing a tax code that's riddled with special-interest loopholes for folks who don't need them, allowing us to offer tax breaks to students and families who do need them.
它的资金来源是明智的开销削减和修补充满了有利于根本不需要这些钱的特殊利益群体的漏洞的税法，使我们可以为有需要的学生们和家庭提供税务减免。
I believe this is where we need to go to give working families more security in a time of constant economic change.
我认为这就是我们要到达的目标-在一个经济持续变革的时代给工薪家庭更多安全感。
And I'll work with anyone—Republican or Democrat—who wants to get to “yes” on these issues.
我将与任何-无论是共和党人还是民主党人，打算就这个问题投赞成票的人们共同努力。
We won't agree on everything, and that's natural-but we should stop refighting old battles, and start working together to help you succeed in the new economy.
我们不一定就每个问题都达成共识，这很正常-但是我们应该停止重燃战火，开始共同努力帮助你们在新经济中成功。
That's what you elected us to do-not to turn everything into another Washington food fight, but to have debates that are worthy of this country, and to build aneconomy not just where everyone can share in America's success, but where everyone can contribute to America's success.
这就是你们选举我们来做的-不是把每件事都变成另一场华盛顿食品争论，而是让辩论无愧于这个国家，打造一个不仅仅是每个人都分享美国的成功，而且每个人都贡献于美国的成功的经济。
Thanks, and have a great weekend.
谢谢大家，祝你们周末愉快。
