Message from President Biden Honoring Black History Month 2022
美国总统拜登2022年黑人历史月视频致辞
Black History Month is more than a celebration. It’s a powerful reminder that Black history is American history. Black culture is American culture. Black stories are essential to the ongoing story of America.
黑人历史月不仅仅是一个庆祝活动。它有力地提醒我们，黑人历史就是美国历史。黑人文化就是美国文化。黑人故事对正在进行的美国故事至关重要。
Shining a light on Black history is as important to understanding ourselves and growing stronger as a nation as it has ever been. And it’s critical – so it’s critical that we take the time to celebrate the contributions of Black Americans, honor the legacy of generations past, reckon with centuries of injustice, and confront injustice that still festers today.
照亮黑人历史对于了解自己和作为一个国家变得更加强大来说，一如既往地重要。这一点至关重要——因此，我们必须庆祝美国黑人的贡献，纪念过去几代人留下的遗产，思考几个世纪以来的不公正，并正视今天仍在恶化的不公正。
You know, since taking office, Vice President Harris and I have been proud to build a government that looks like America, with trailblazing Black leaders in my cabinet and distinguished Black Americans serving in roles all across our administration. Very soon, I’ll be honored to nominate the first Black woman in American history to serve on the United States Supreme Court.
大家知道，自上任以来，我和哈里斯副总统一直为建立一个更加美国的政府感到自豪，内阁中有开拓性的黑人领导人，还有中那个多杰出的美国黑人在我们各级政府中任职。很快，我将荣幸地提名美国历史上第一位在美国最高法院任职的黑人女性。
At the same time, we’ve worked hard to reverse decades of underinvestment in Black communities: from vaccine shots in arms, to checks in pockets, to tax cuts for working families with children, to landmark investment of $5.8 billion in Historically Black Colleges and Universities.
与此同时，我们努力扭转数十年来对黑人社区投资不足的趋势：从注射疫苗到工资收入，到为有孩子的工作家庭减税，再到对黑人历史高校的58亿美元的标志性投资。
Last year, we reduced poverty among Black Americans by an estimated 34 percent. We cut Black child poverty in half, and helped more people gain health insurance through the Affordable Care Act than any year in history.
去年，我们将美国黑人的贫困率降低了约34%。我们把黑人儿童的贫困减少了一半，并通过《平价医疗法案》帮助更多人获得医疗保险，这比历史上的任何一年都多。
And now we’re doing more: removing lead service lines that have contaminated water for too many homes and schools, delivering high-speed internet to every community so no family is left behind, and making historic investments in transportation, helping people get to good jobs quickly and safely, remediating environmental injustice that have hit Black communities the hardest, delivering major investments to Black entrepreneurs and small businesses to get the capital they need to grow, and doing everything we can to make the community safer and more prosperous.
现在我们正在做更多工作：拆除污染太多家庭和学校水源的含铅管网，向每个社区提供高速互联网不让任何家庭被落下，并对交通进行历史性投资，帮助人们快速安全地找到好工作，纠正对黑人社区影响最大的环境不公正，向黑人企业家和小企业提供大宗投资，以使他们获得增长所需的资本，并尽我们所能使社区更安全、更繁荣。
We’re also working tirelessly to deliver on my Build Back Better agenda, bringing down the cost of childcare, housing, prescription drugs and so much more without raising taxes on anybody making less than $400,000 a year. And we’re not going to rest until we protect the foundation of our democracy, the sacred right to vote.
我们还在不懈努力，以实现我的“构建更美好”议程，降低儿童保育、住房、处方药等成本，不对年收入低于40万美元的任何人提高税收。我们还在保护投票权这一民主的基础之路上从未停歇。
As we celebrate Black History Month, let’s carry forward the work of our lives together, to dismantle systematic racism in every part of our society, to fight for dignity, and to fulfill America’s promise for everyone – for everyone.
在庆祝黑人历史月之际，让我们继续加强生活的改善工作，消除社会每个部分的系统性种族主义，为尊严而战，并履行美国对每个人的承诺。
