President Barack Obama visited a Muslim religious center in the United States for the first time as president on Wednesday.

周三,美國(guó)總統(tǒng)奧巴馬在任內(nèi)首次造訪一座美國(guó)清真寺。

在馬里蘭州東部的巴爾的摩伊斯蘭教協(xié)會(huì),奧巴馬總統(tǒng)在會(huì)見(jiàn)美國(guó)穆斯林期間表示:“我們構(gòu)成了美國(guó)這個(gè)大家庭。”

He said too often Americans link the Muslim religion Islam with terrorism and blame the entire Muslim community for the "violent acts of a few."

他說(shuō):“美國(guó)人經(jīng)常會(huì)把穆斯林宗教伊斯蘭教與恐怖主義聯(lián)系在一起并且指責(zé)整個(gè)穆斯林社區(qū)的“暴力行為”。

Obama spoke about the contributions Muslims have made to American society. He said "Muslim-Americans keep us safe. They are our police. They are our firefighters. They're in (the Department of) Homeland Security."

美國(guó)總統(tǒng)奧巴馬談到穆斯林對(duì)美國(guó)社會(huì)做出的貢獻(xiàn)。他說(shuō):“美國(guó)穆斯林保證我們的安全,他們是我們的警察,他們是我們的消防隊(duì)員。他們?cè)诒Pl(wèi)著美國(guó)國(guó)土安全。”

And he said "inexcusable political rhetoric against Muslims has no place" in this country.

他還表示在美國(guó),針對(duì)穆斯林的那些不可原諒的政治言論沒(méi)有立足之地。

Obama has visited mosques in other countries, but never in the United States.

奧巴馬總統(tǒng)訪問(wèn)過(guò)其他國(guó)家的清真寺,但從未走進(jìn)過(guò)美國(guó)清真寺。

His visit took place during an election campaign in which Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump called for a temporary ban on new Muslim immigrants.

他的這次訪問(wèn)是在競(jìng)選期間,當(dāng)時(shí)共和黨總統(tǒng)候選人唐納德·特朗普呼吁“暫時(shí)但全面”禁止穆斯林進(jìn)入美國(guó)。

Many Republicans -- including U.S. Sen. John McCain and presidential candidate Jeb Bush -- condemned Trump's plan. But Ben Carson, another Republican presidential candidate, said a Muslim should not be permitted to serve as president. Visit the website www.chinavoa.com to get more information!

許多共和黨人士——包括美國(guó)參議員約翰·麥凱恩和總統(tǒng)候選人杰布·布什都譴責(zé)特朗普的計(jì)劃。但本卡森,另一名共和黨總統(tǒng)候選人表示,穆斯林不應(yīng)該被允許擔(dān)任總統(tǒng)。

Obama has not directly answered the comments about Muslims from the Republican candidates. But he has criticized anti-Muslim statements.

奧巴馬總統(tǒng)并沒(méi)有對(duì)共和黨候選人針對(duì)穆斯林的評(píng)價(jià)直接作出回應(yīng)。但他批評(píng)反穆斯林的言論。

In his final State of the Union address last month, Obama asked Americans to reject any politics that target people because of race or religion.

在上個(gè)月最后一次國(guó)情咨文演講中,奧巴馬要求美國(guó)人民拒絕那些因?yàn)榉N族或宗教信仰而針對(duì)人們的政治言論。

"When politicians insult Muslims, whether abroad or our fellow citizens, when a mosque isvandalized, or a kid is called names, that doesn't make us safer."

當(dāng)政治家們對(duì)穆斯林進(jìn)行侮辱,不管是國(guó)外的還是我們的民族同胞,當(dāng)一座清真寺遭到破壞,或者當(dāng)一個(gè)孩子被辱罵,這些都會(huì)使我們感到惶恐不安。

Muslim-American groups have been asking Obama to visit a mosque in the United States for some time. They asked again after threats and attacks on Muslims last December.

一段時(shí)間以來(lái),美國(guó)穆斯林團(tuán)體一直邀請(qǐng)奧巴馬總統(tǒng)參觀美國(guó)清真寺。在去年十二月,穆斯林遭受威脅與攻擊之后,再一次發(fā)出邀請(qǐng)。

The Islamic Society of Baltimore has received such threats. Police have increased security at the building, which includes a place for religious study, a health clinic and a school. It was started 47 years ago and has thousands of members.

巴爾的摩伊斯蘭協(xié)會(huì)已經(jīng)收到這樣的威脅。警方已經(jīng)對(duì)一些建筑加強(qiáng)安全保障,其中包括一處宗教研究的場(chǎng)所、健康診所和一所學(xué)校。該協(xié)會(huì)始建于47年前并已擁有成千上萬(wàn)名成員。

President Obama has said it is important for the federal government to work with Muslim-American leaders to help fight attempts by extremists like the Islamic State terrorist group toradicalize Muslims in the U.S.

奧巴馬總統(tǒng)表示,對(duì)聯(lián)邦政府而言,與美國(guó)穆斯林協(xié)會(huì)領(lǐng)袖進(jìn)行合作幫助對(duì)抗極端分子的攻擊(如伊斯蘭國(guó)家恐怖組織煽動(dòng)美國(guó)穆斯林),這一點(diǎn)至關(guān)重要。
