Now, there are a lot of folks, a lot of skeptics whooften downplay the effectiveness of multilateralaction

有很多質疑者 經(jīng)常貶低多邊行動的有效性

For them, working through international institutionslike the U.N. or respecting international law is a signof weakness

在他們看來 通過聯(lián)合國這樣的國際機構 或是尊重國際法來解決問題 是美國示弱的信號

I think they're wrong

我認為他們都錯了

Let me offer just two examples why

讓我舉兩個例子來解釋原因

In Ukraine, Russia's recent actions recall the days when Soviet tanks rolled into Eastern Europe

俄羅斯最近在烏克蘭的舉動讓人想起了 蘇聯(lián)坦克碾進東歐其它國家的情景

But this isn't the Cold War

但現(xiàn)在并不是冷戰(zhàn)時期

Our ability to shape world opinion helped isolate Russia right away

通過世界輿論 我們立刻就讓俄羅斯陷入了孤立

Because of American leadership, the world immediately condemned Russian actions

由于美國的領導 世界各國紛紛譴責俄羅斯的行為

Europe and the G7 joined us to impose sanctions NATO reinforced our commitment toEastern European allies

歐洲和七國集團同我們一同施加制裁 北約增強了對東歐盟友的支持

the IMF is helping to stabilize Ukraine's economy OSCE monitors brought the eyes of the worldto unstable parts of Ukraine

國際貨幣基金組織采取措施幫助穩(wěn)定烏克蘭經(jīng)濟 歐安組織監(jiān)察員讓全世界都看到了烏克蘭的不穩(wěn)定局勢

And this mobilization of world opinion and international institutions served as a counterweightto Russian propaganda and Russian troops on the border and armed militias in ski masks

世界輿論和國際機構的共同施壓 足以對抗俄羅斯的宣傳攻勢 讓俄羅斯屯扎在邊境的部隊陷于不義

This weekend, Ukrainians voted by the millions

本周末 烏克蘭有數(shù)百萬人參與投票

Yesterday, I spoke to their next President

昨天 我同烏克蘭候任總統(tǒng)通過話

We don't know how the situation will play out and there will remain grave challenges ahead

我們不知道事情會如何發(fā)展 前面肯定還有很多挑戰(zhàn)

but standing with our allies on behalf of international order working with internationalinstitutions has given a chance for the Ukrainian people to choose their future without us firinga shot

不過 代表國際秩序 同盟友們站在一起同國際機構共同協(xié)作讓烏克蘭人民獲得了選擇自己未來的機會我們甚至不需要開一槍一炮
