1972年美国总统尼克松访华

1972年2月21日至28日，美国总统尼克松正式访华。2月28日，中美两国发表了指导两国关系的《中美联合公报》，中美交往的大门终于被打开。尼克松此次访华是20世纪国际外交史上最重大的事件之一。

2月21日，毛泽东主席在中南海会见了尼克松总统。

22日，周恩来总理同尼克松总统在北京人民大会堂举行会谈，就中美关系正常化及双方关心的其他问题进行了讨论。周恩来表示：台湾问题是阻碍两国关系正常化的关键。尼克松表示：美国承认世界上只有一个中国，台湾是中国的一部分。

26日，周恩来总理陪同尼克松总统赴杭州访问。之后，尼克松一行飞往上海。

28日，中美双方在上海签署《中美联合公报》（“上海公报”）。在公报中，双方声明：“中美两国关系走向正常化是符合所有国家的利益的。”在台湾问题上中方重申了“一个中国”的原则，全部美国武装力量和军事设施必须从台湾撤走。美方声明：“对这一立场不提出异议”，并“确认从台湾撤出全部美国武装力量和军事设施的最终目标”。《中美联合公报》是中美两国签署的第一个指导双边关系的文件。它的发表，标志着中美隔绝状态的结束和关系正常化进程的开始。

为促进中美友好关系，中国政府将一对大熊猫“兴兴”和“玲玲”送给美国人民。

作为当年尼克松总统的国家安全事务副助理，美国前国务卿黑格参与了有关“上海公报”的谈判，成为这段珍贵历史的重要见证人。黑格在2002年初接受新华社记者的书面采访时说，尼克松1972年2月的中国之行是他总统任内最伟大的成就之一，也是

20世纪最重大的外交行动之一。这一历史性事件在华盛顿和北京之间开创了新关系，对30年来整个亚洲地区的稳定和发展产生了深远影响。黑格说，尼克松总统和中国领导人找到了一个需要美中两国合作和友谊的战略利益交汇点。尼克松认识到，建立具有长期性、战略性和持久性的美中关系很有必要。黑格强调，在当前发展持久、长远的美中关系要比过去数十年更加重要，“9·11”事件证实了这一事实。“9·11”事件表明，美中利益的交汇点是加强双边关系的催化剂。在谈到“上海公报”的重要性时，黑格说，这份公报的关键内容是：“美国认识到，在台湾海峡两岸的所有中国人都认为只有一个中国，台湾是中国的一部分”。至今，这一点仍然必须是美中两国关系的试金石。这一得到美国6位继任总统确认的原则，使两个伟大国家的关系克服了那些难以避免的分歧。这一原则也为两国后来发表的中美建交公报和“八·一七公报”奠定了基础。

Kennedy January 20, 1961 Vice President Johnson, Mr. Speaker, Mr. Chief Justice, President Eisenhower, Vice President Nixon, President Truman, Reverend Clergy, fellow citizens: 约翰逊副总统、议长先生、首席大法官先生、艾森豪威尔总统、尼克松副总统、杜鲁门总统、尊敬的牧师、同胞们： We observe today not a victory of party but a celebration of freedom, symbolizing an end as well as a beginning, signifying renewal as well as change. For I have sworn before you and Almighty God the same solemn oath our forebears prescribed nearly a century and three-quarters ago. 我们今天所看到的，并非是某一党派的胜利，而是自由的庆典。它象征着结束，亦象征着开始；意味着更新，亦意味着变化。因为我已在你们及万能的上帝面前，依着我们先辈175年前写下的誓言宣誓。 The world is very different now. For man holds in his mortal hands the power to abolish all forms of human poverty and all forms of human life. And yet the same revolutionary beliefs for which our forebears fought are still at issue around the globe -- the belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state but from the hand of God. 世界已然今非昔比，因为人类手中已经掌握了巨大的力量，既可以用来消除各种形式的贫困，亦可用以毁灭人类社会。然而，我们先辈曾为之战斗的那些革命性的信念还依然在世界上受人争议——那就是，每个人享有的各项权利决非来自国家政权的慷慨赐予，而是出自上帝之手。 We dare not forget today that we are the heirs of that first revolution. Let the word go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans -- born in this century, tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage -- and unwilling to witness or permit the slow undoing of those human rights to which this nation has always been committed, and to which we are committed today at home and around the world. 今天，我们不敢有忘，我们乃是那第一次革命的后裔。此时，让这个声音从这里同时向我们的朋友和敌人传达：火炬现已传递到新一代美国人手中——他们生于本世纪，既经受过战火的锤炼，又经历过艰难严峻的和平岁月的考验。他们深为我们古老的遗产所自豪——决不愿目睹或听任诸项人权受到无形的侵蚀，这些权利不仅为这个国家始终信守不渝，亦是我们正在国内和世界上誓死捍卫的东西。 Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty.

尼克松访华演讲英汉对照

Speech at a Welcoming Banquet Mr. Prime Minister, I wish to thank you for your very gracious and eloquent remarks. At this very moment through the wonder of telecommunications, more people are seeing and hearing what we say to them than on any other such occasion in the whole history of the world. Yet, what we say here will not be long remembered. What we do here can change the world. As you said in your toast, the Chinese people are a great people, and the American people are a great people. If our tow peoples enemies, the future of this world we share together is dark indeed. But if we can find common ground to work together, the chance for world peace is immeasurably increased. What legacy shall we leave our children? Are they destined to die for the hatreds which have plagued the old world, or are they destined to live because we had the vision to build a new world? There is no reason for us to be enemies. Neither of us seeks the territory of the other, neither of us seeks domination over the other, and neither of us seeks to stretch out our hands and rule the world. Chairman Mao has written,“So many deeds cry out to be done, and always urgently; the world rolls on, time presses. Ten thousand years are too long, seize the day, and seize the hour!” This is the hour. This is the day for our two peoples to rise to the heights of greatness which can build a new and a better world. In that spirit, I ask all of you present to join me in raising your glasses to Chairman Mao, to Prime Minister Zhou, and to the friendship of the Chinese and American people that can lead to friendship and peace for all people in the world. Richard M. Nixon 1972

尼克松就职演讲

6. Richard Nixon - Checkers My Fellow Americans, I come before you tonight as a candidate for the Vice Presidency and as a man whose honesty and integrity has been questioned. Now, the usual political thing to do when charges are made against you is to either ignore them or to deny them without giving details. I believe we've had enough of that in the United States, particularly with the present Administration in Washington, D.C. To me the office of the Vice Presidency of the United States is a great office, and I feel that the people have got to have confidence in the integrity of the men who run for that office and who might obtain it. I have a theory, too, that the best and only answer to a smear or to an honest misunderstanding of the facts is to tell the truth. And that's why I'm here tonight. I want to tell you my side of the case. I'm sure that you have read the charge, and you've heard it, that I, Senator Nixon, took 18,000 dollars from a group of my supporters. Now, was that wrong? And let me say that it was wrong. I'm saying, incidentally, that it was wrong, not just illegal, because it isn't a question of whether it was legal or illegal, that isn't enough. The question is, was it morally wrong? I say that it was morally wrong if any of that 18,000 dollars went to Senator Nixon, for my personal use. I say that it was morally wrong if it was secretly given and secretly handled. And I say that it was morally wrong if any of the contributors got special favors for the contributions that they made. And now to answer those questions let me say this: Not one cent of the 18,000 dollars or any other money of that type ever went to

给特朗普总统的一封信

给特朗普总统的一封信给特朗普总统的一封信万喆2017/01/21 尊敬的特朗普总统：您好！您已经成为美国总统了，在此表示诚挚的祝贺和衷心的祝福！您一定有点奇怪，按理说，这种祝贺都是由国家元首发出的，我一个小老百姓，怎么会想起凑这种热闹呢？对抗还是共识？事实上，我自己也是存着一些疑惑的。本来，从我一个中国吃瓜群众的角度看，咱们各干好自己的事儿，不就行了吗？但是，自从您选举获胜以来，各种消息层出不穷，好像中美两国的关系进入到了一个前所未有的复杂阶段，许多人提出许多对抗性很强的议题，让人咂舌。作为一个啥也不是的人，生活在当今全球最重要的这段关系中，我也不禁被动和主动产生了一系列的想法，不吐不快。首先，尽管当前的舆论环境中的对立情绪似乎不弱，但通过现象看本质，我却认为，中美两国的这一届政府，至少在三个极其重要的问题上有几乎一致的共识。第一个问题是人民币汇率。要知道，在整个2016年，世界上有两个声音认定并大声疾呼中国的人民币被低估了，根本不应该贬值，甚至需要进一步升值。一个声音是中国的人民日报，另一个声音就来自正在如火如荼进行大选的特朗普总统您。第二个问题是国内改革。双

方新政府都显示出强烈的改革愿望，并且表示出将拿出决心、智慧和勇气推行、深化改革。第三个问题是目的。中美这一届政府都再三强调人民的福祉，并将使人民获得幸福作为努力的最终和最高目标。这些问题实际上奠定了政府运行的方向和基础，而两国如此相似。当然，两国一定有很多的不同，乃至分歧。但是，既然都是为了民众服务，不妨来看看，两国民众的基础观点或认识是否有合作的基础呢？美国人关心的问题对于美国民众而言，也许他们对中国所关心的是两个方面。第一个方面，中国是否尊重美国？这个答案其实是相当肯定的。美国在全球的地位并非一日建成，尤其在二战后，与其说这是个经济强大、政治强大、军事强大的现象，不如说这是个漫长的、深刻的信用建立过程。美国在全球治理中的贡献是个长期的事业，值得也获得了中国人的尊重。我是个最普通不过的人，因此不能说代表了谁，但正由于我的普通，应该有很多人都和我差不多，爱中国，但也对美国怀有喜欢之情，看个美剧啦、吃个美餐啦，等等。这些喜欢也许非常鸡零狗碎，但从根本上，还是源于一种尊重。在近年来中国倡导的“命运共同体”概念中，也将中美关系放在了非常重要的位置，并且希望打通发展中国家与发达国家的对话渠道，使大家建立更为紧密的关系，为全球治理的新秩序奠定更扎实的基础。第二个方面，美国的问题是不是都是中国造成的？这个问题我其实也经

形势与政策课程论文——特朗普对中美贸易关系的影响

形势与政策课程论文特朗普对中美贸易关系的影响学生院系：学生姓名：学生学号：

一、引言 2016年11月9日美国大选结果出炉，共和党候选人唐纳德·特朗普出人意料地以较大优势击败民主党人希拉里胜选，并于2017年1月20日宣誓就职。作为一位“前所未见”，“特立独行“的美国总统，他的政策取向对中国有何影响？在特朗普执政接近一周年之际，特别是去年11月特朗普访华之后，中美关系有走向哪些新的动态，值得我们去思考评析。二、来自美国的挑战从特朗普的执政理念来看，在经济层面，他推崇贸易保护主义政策。减少贸易逆差并将制造业岗位带回美国可能是特朗普政府贸易政策议程中最显著的两项目标。鉴于中国与美国的双边贸易顺差较高，以及中国作为制造业强国的现实，中国很容易成为美国贸易保护主义新浪潮中的打击目标。他在当选总统之前曾多次在大选辩论和其他公开场合抨击中国：他常将“中国用从美国偷来的钱养肥了自己”挂在嘴边；他斥责中国偷走了美国人的工作；他曾多次指责中国操纵人民币汇率，使中国出口产品在全球市场上更有竞争力，并称中国在贸易问题上“杀死”美国；他曾表示，要对中国进口的产品征45%的重税。虽然这很难成为现实，但美国对中国经济的“发难”已经开始了。对外，虽然特朗普访华在一片和谐的氛围中结束，但很快美国就决定对中国发起“301调查”，来调查中国的“不公平贸易行为”，美国政府佷可能将根据调查结果，采取一系列针对中国的贸易保护措施。这也是延续了美国政府一贯的政策，自2001年中国加入世贸组织以来, 美国主要利用美国的贸易救济法来处理中国的“不公平”贸易行为问题。在奥巴马主政期间, 美国就对中国采取了越来越敌对的贸易政策取向。而在特朗普时代，我们可以相信美国对中国的贸易敌对将加剧。对内，特朗普政府实施了美国有史以来最大规模的减税计划，目的是为了吸引制造业回流，刺激美国的经济增长, 创造更多就业机会, 吸引全球资本积聚到美国本土。比起美国, 在中国投资的成本将变大, 长期看不仅会抑制跨国企业或国际大牌企业在中国的大额投资, 中国制造走向世界也面临成本增加。据波士顿咨询公司2013年的研究报告, 当时在美国制造商品的平均成本只比在中国高5%。2015年, 在美国低成本地区生产已经变得和在中国生产一样经济划算。更令人震惊的是, 到2018年, 美国制造的成本将进一步低于中国。很多美国的跨国企业都落户在我国, 他们迁回美国就意味着要抛掉人民币买入美元, 会加速人民币贬值。随着美国“缩表”计划开始实施, 美元的价值也将得到大幅提升, 人民币贬值的压力空前加大。当前, 我国经济正处于“稳增长”、“去杠杆”的阶段, 货币政策还将保持稳健的态势, 人民币贬值预期已经逐步累积。人民币资产价格的下降, 可使我国企业的资产负债率提高, 拥有的财富减少, 也可能影响部分企业的经营。三、中国的应对如果美中爆发贸易战，两国贸易都会受到消极影响，在短期和长期都造成GDP和福利损失。对中国来说，与美国在双边贸易方面采取以牙还牙的对抗或许并非好的选择。鉴于特朗普当局已将中美贸易不平衡提上了他们的贸易政策议程中，为避免中美之间 2

尼克松访华祝酒词

Toast Speech by Richard Nixon 尼克松访华祝酒词 Mr. Prime Minister and all of your distinguished guests this evening: On behalf of all of your American-guests, I wish to thank you for the incomparably hospitality for which the Chinese people are justly famous throughout the world. I particularly want to pay tribute, not only to those who prepared the magnificent dinner, but also to those who have provided the splendid music. Never have I heard American music played better in a foreign land. Mr. Prime Minister, I wish to thank you for your very gracious and eloquent remarks. At this very moment, through the wonder of telecommunications, more people are seeing and hearing what we say than on any other such occasion in the whole history of the world. Y et, what we say here will not be long remembered. What we do here can change the world. As you said in your toast, the Chinese people are a great people, the American people are a great people. If our two peoples are enemies the future of this world we share, together is dark indeed. But if we can find common ground to work together, the chance for world peace is immeasurably increased. In the spirit of frankness which I hope will characterize our talks this week, let us recognize at the outset these points: We have at times in the past been enemies. We have great differences today. What brings us together is that we have common interests which transcend those differences. As we discuss our differences, neither of us will compromise our principles. But while we cannot close the gulf between us, we can try to bridge it so that we may be able to talk across it. So, let us, in these next five days, start a long march together, not in lockstep, but on different roads leading to the same goal, the goal of building a world structure of peace and justice in which all may stand together with equal dignity and in which each nation, large or small, has a right to determine its own form of government, free of outside interference or domination. The world watches. The world listens. The world waits to see what we will do. What is the world? In a personal sense, I think of my eldest daughter whose birthday is today. As I think of her, I think of all the children in the world, in Asia, in Africa, in Europe, in the Americas, most of whom were born since the date of the foundation of the People's Republic of China. What legacy shall we leave our children? Are they destined to die for the hatreds which have plagued the old world, or are they destined to live because we had the vision to build a new world? There is no reason for us to be enemies. Neither of us seeks the territory of the other; neither of us seeks domination over the other; neither of us seeks to stretch out our hands and rule the world. Chairman Mao has written, "So many deeds cry out to be done, and always urgently; The world rolls on, Time presses. Ten thousand years are too long, Seize the day, seize the hour!” This is the hour. This is the day for our two peoples to rise to the heights of greatness which can build a better world. In that spirit, I ask all of you present to join me in raising your glasses to Chairman Mao, to Prime Minister Chou, and to the friendship of the Chinese and American people which can lead to friendship and peace for all people in the world. ( A toast given by president Nixon on his first visit to China in 1972)

7美国总统尼克松就职演说(1969年)

1969年美国总统尼克松就职演说 First Inaugural Address of Richard Milhous Nixon MONDAY, JANUARY 20, 1969 Senator Dirksen, Mr. Chief Justice, Mr. Vice President, President Johnson, Vice President Humphrey, my fellow Americans--and my fellow citizens of the world community: I ask you to share with me today the majesty of this moment. In the orderly transfer of power, we celebrate the unity that keeps us free. Each moment in history is a fleeting time, precious and unique. But some stand out as moments of beginning, in which courses are set that shape decades or centuries. This can be such a moment. Forces now are converging that make possible, for the first time, the hope that many of man's deepest aspirations can at last be realized. The spiraling pace of change allows us to contemplate, within our own lifetime, advances that once would have taken centuries. In throwing wide the horizons of space, we have discovered new horizons on earth. For the first time, because the people of the world want peace, and the leaders of the world are afraid of war, the times are on the side of peace. Eight years from now America will celebrate its 200th anniversary as a nation. Within the lifetime of most people now living, mankind will celebrate that great new year which comes only once in a thousand years--the beginning of the third millennium. What kind of nation we will be, what kind of world we will live in, whether we shape the future in the image of our hopes, is ours to determine by our actions and our choices. The greatest honor history can bestow is the title of peacemaker. This honor now beckons America--the chance to help lead the world at last out of the valley of turmoil, and onto that high ground of peace that man has dreamed of since the dawn of civilization. If we succeed, generations to come will say of us now living that we mastered our moment, that we helped make the world safe for mankind. This is our summons to greatness. I believe the American people are ready to answer this call. The second third of this century has been a time of proud achievement. We have made enormous strides in science and industry and agriculture. We have shared our wealth more broadly than ever. We have learned at last to manage a modern economy to assure its continued growth. We have given freedom new reach, and we have begun to make its promise real for black as well as for white. We see the hope of tomorrow in the youth of today. I know America's youth. I believe in them. We can be proud that they are better educated, more committed, more passionately driven by conscience than any generation in our history. No people has ever been so close to the achievement of a just and abundant society, or so possessed of the will to achieve it. Because our strengths are so great, we can afford to appraise our weaknesses with candor and to approach them with hope. Standing in this same place a third of a century ago, Franklin Delano Roosevelt addressed a Nation ravaged by depression and gripped in fear. He could say in surveying the Nation's troubles: "They concern, thank God, only material things." Our crisis today is the reverse. We have found ourselves rich in goods, but ragged in spirit; reaching with magnificent precision for

美国历届总统简介：第28任总统托马斯-伍德罗-威尔逊

美国历届总统简介：第28任总统托马斯?伍德罗?威尔逊 Thomas Woodrow Wilson was the 28th President of the United States. He served two terms in office from 1913to 1921. He was born in Virginia in 1856. Wilson suffered from dyslexia and didn’t learn to read until hewas ten years old. He graduated from Princeton in 1879. He also studied law at the University of Virginia and in 1883 gained a PhD in history and political science from John Hopkins University. 托马斯·伍德罗·威尔逊是美国第28任总统。任职两届，任期为1913-1921.1856年，威尔逊出生于弗吉尼亚。小时，威尔逊患有阅读障碍症，十岁时才开始学习阅读。1879年，他毕业于普林斯顿大学。并在弗吉尼亚大学学习法律，1883年，在约翰霍普金斯大学获得历史学和政治科学博士学位。 Wilson advanced rapidly as a conservative young professor of political science and became president of Princeton in 1902. His growing national reputation led some Democrats to consider him Presidential material. He was nominated for President at the 1912 Democratic Convention. He won only 42 percent of the popular vote but got an overwhelming electoral vote to become President. 威尔逊迅速成为了政治科学专业的一名年轻教授，并在1902年成为普林斯顿校长。威尔逊在国内的声望愈来愈高，这使得民主党考虑让他成为总统。在1912年的民主大会上，他成为了总统候选人。虽然他仅仅获得了42%的选票，但是在总统选举中，他以压倒性的优势获胜。 Wilson passed bills for lower tariffs, a graduated income tax, the prohibition of child labor, 8-hour days for railroad workers, and more.
