问题     Hello, everybody. Good afternoon, everybody. Today, I want to start by addressing two issues, and then I’ll take your questions.
    Now, the first issue I want to address is our ongoing effort to build a clean energy economy. This week, the House of Representatives is moving ahead on historic legislation that will transform the way we produce and use energy in America. This legislation will spark a clean energy transformation that will reduce our dependence on foreign oil and confront the carbon pollution that threatens our planet. This energy bill will create a set of incentives that will spur the development of new sources of energy, including wind, solar, and geothermal power. It will also spur new energy savings, like efficient windows and other materials that reduce heating costs in the winter and cooling costs in the summer. We all know why this is so important. The nation that leads in the creation of a clean energy economy will be the nation that leads the 21st century’s global economy. That’s what this legislation seeks to achieve. It’s a bill that will open the door to a better future for this nation and that’s why I urge members of Congress to come together and pass it.
    The second issue I’d like to address is health care. Right now, Congress is debating various health care reform proposals. This is obviously a complicated issue, but I am very optimistic about the progress that they’re making. There’s no doubt that we must preserve what’s best about our health care system, and that means allowing Americans who like their doctor and their health care plans to keep them. But unless we fix what’s broken in our current system, everyone’s health care will be in jeopardy. Unless we act, premiums will climb higher, benefits will erode further, and the rolls of the uninsured will swell to include millions more Americans. Unless we act, one out of every five dollars that we earn will be spent on health care within a decade, and the amount our government spends on Medicare and Medicaid will eventually grow larger than what our government spends on everything else today. When it comes to health care, the status quo is unsustainable and unacceptable. So reform is not a luxury. It’s a necessity, and I hope the Congress will continue to make significant progress on this issue in the weeks ahead.
    So let me open it up for questions, and I’ll start with you.
选项
答案 大家好，下午好。今天我想先着重谈谈两个问题，随后我再回答各位的问题。 我想谈的第一个问题是关于我们建立清洁能源经济的持续努力。本周，众议院正在推进将改变美国生产和使用能源方法的历史性的立法，这项法律将激发清洁能源转化，降低我们对外国原油的依赖，应对威胁我们星球的碳污染。这项能源法案将引发一系列的刺激，激励新能源开发，包括风能、太阳能、地热能，它还将激励新型能源节约，比如能在冬天降低热量消耗和在夏天降低冷气消耗的节能玻璃窗和其他材料。我们都知道此事为什么如此重要。引领创建清洁能源经济的国家将是引领21世纪全球经济的国家。这个立法正是在寻求实现这一点。这项法案将会打开我国通往更美好未来之门。那也是我竭力请求众议院议员们齐心协力通过它的原因所在。 我想谈的第二个问题是医疗保健。目前，国会正在辩论各项医疗改革提案。这显然是一个复杂的问题，但我对他们正取得的进展感到乐观。无疑，我们必须保持现有医疗体系中最好的部分，那意味着允许美国人继续拥有自己喜欢的医生和医疗计划，但是除非我们修补现行制度中坏了的部分，否则大家的医疗保障将陷入危险。除非我们行动起来，不然保险金将进一步上涨，福利将进一步削弱，美国人中没有保险的人数将会扩大到数百万。除非我们行动起来，不然，10年内我们挣的每5美元中就有1美元将被用于医疗保障，政府用于医疗照顾以及医疗辅助的经费最终将超过政府今天用于其他各项事务的总和。医保的现状是不可持续的、不可接受的，所以改革不是奢侈品，而是必需品，我希望国会在未来几周内将继续在这个问题上取得显著的进展。 那么现在就请各位提问，就从您开始。
