○  克林顿告别演说  ○

ve you with three thoughts about our future. First, America must maintain our record of fiscal responsibility. Through our last four budgets, we've turned record deficits to record surpluses, and we've been able to pay down $600 billion of our national debt, on track to be debt free by the end of the decade for the first time since 1835. 　　
　　今晚，我希望大家能从以下3点审视我们的未来：第一，美国必须保持它的良好财政状况．通过过去4个财政年度的努力，我们已经把破纪录的财政赤字变为破纪录的盈余．并且，我们已经偿还了6000亿美元的国债，我们正向10年内彻底偿还国家债务的目标迈进，这将是1835年以来的第一次．

　　Staying on that course will bring lower interest rates, greater prosperity and the opportunity to meet our big challenges. If we choose wisely, we can pay down the debt, deal with the retirement of the baby boomers, invest more in our future and provide tax relief. 　　
　　只要这样做，就会带来更低的利率、更大的经济繁荣，从而能够迎接将来更大的挑战．如果我们做出明智的选择，我们就能偿还债务，解决(二战后出生的)一大批人们的退休问题，对未来进行更多的投资，并减轻税收．

　　Second, because the world is more connected every day in every way, America's security and prosperity require us to continue to lead in the world. At this remarkable moment in history, more people live in freedom that ever before. Our alliances are stronger than ever. People all around the world look to America to be a force for peace and prosperity, freedom and security. The global economy is giving more of our own people, and billions around the world, the chance to work and live and raise their families with dignity. 　　
　　第二，世界各国的联系日益紧密．为了美国的安全与繁荣，我们应继续融入世界．在这个特别的历史时刻，更多的美国人民享有前所未有的自由．我们的盟国更加强大．全世界人民期望美国成为和平与繁荣、
