Existing problems today, we believe, are opportunities as well. Exercising smart power begins with realistic assessments of the world we inhabit. And this obliges us no less than other nations to acknowledge our own contributions to the global problems we face. Let me start with the global financial crisis that hit us first and hit us deeply. Across the United States today, families are losing jobs, homes, savings, and dreams. But this is not our crisis alone. Its repercussions are also being felt in parts of Asia and elsewhere around the world.
我们认为，今天存在的问题也带来机会。运用明智的实力要从实事求是地评估我们生活的世界入手。这要求我们必须，毫无少于其他国家地，承认我们自己对出现在眼前的种种全球问题所具有的责任。 请让我先谈谈首先触及我们并使我们遭受重创的这场全球金融危机。今天，美国各地的家庭在失去工作、住房、储蓄和梦想。但这场危机不仅威胁到我们。其后果也波及亚洲部分地区和世界其他地区。
