Hello, everybody. I wanted to take a moment to welcome you to our embassies, consulates and residences, and wish you a very Happy American Independence Day.
大家好。我希望趁此机会欢迎各位光临我国驻外各使馆、领事馆和驻地，祝大家很愉快地度过美国国庆节！
My colleagues from our embassies and consulates are constantly learning from all of you about your cultures and traditions, and, frankly, we really couldn’t be happier that you’re here to share our traditions and celebrate the birthday of the United States.
While the Fourth of July is an occasion to enjoy great food and the company of friends and family, it’s also a time for Americans to reflect on the founding of our country 237 years ago.
And while our Declaration of Independence is the most American of documents, and while we proudly associate ourselves with the promises of equality, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, in truth, those ideals are not uniquely American. These rights actually belong to everyone on earth. These are values that we all share, and they represent the aspirations of people the world over.
