If Doolittle had not been rescued, the US Air Force wouldn't have benefited from his leadership in Europe. So I don't think it is an exaggeration to say that the people of Quzhou changed the future of the world.
倘若当年杜立特未能获救,美国空军便无法在欧洲战场受益于他的指挥才干。 因此毫不夸张地说,衢州人民改变了世界的未来。
My visit here tells me there needs to be more effort put into telling the story on the other side of the Pacific in the United States through schools and museums. And I'll be looking for ways to do that to take the story back home and make it real for Americans.
此番到访衢州让我深感,我们应当通过美国各地的学校、博物馆,加大力度向大洋彼岸的民众讲述这段历史。 我也会多方寻找渠道,把这段故事带回美国,让全体美国人真切了解这段往事。
When I have a chance to meet with high school students in the United States, sometimes I'll speak at schools. You see the intellect and attitude of these students. How can you not be optimistic? How can you worry too much when we know that there are young people like that who will build the future? So I'm optimistic.
我时常受邀前往美国中学发表演讲。 亲眼见证青少年们聪慧通透、积极向上的精神面貌。 我们怎能不心怀乐观? 面对这样一代将开创未来的年轻人,我们又何须过度忧虑? 所以我对两国未来始终抱有信心。
