名人演讲 :美国总统川普首次国情咨文演讲(22)
Last month, I also took an action endorsed unanimously by the U.S. Senate just months before.
上个月，我采取了参议院就在几个月前全体同意的法案：

Shortly afterwards, dozens of countries voted in the United Nations General Assembly against America’s sovereign right to make this decision.
不久后，几十个国家在联合国安理会投票反对美国作出承认的神圣权利。
In 2016, American taxpayers generously sent those same countries more than $20 billion in aid.
2016年，美国纳税人给这些国家大方地投入了二百多亿美元的援助。
That is why tonight I am asking Congress to pass legislation
这也是为何今晚，我要求国会通过立法，
to help ensure American foreign assistance dollars always serve American interests and only go to friends of America, not enemies of America.
确保美国外国援助总能符合美国利益，只给美国的朋友，而非敌人。
As we strengthen friendships all around the world, we are also restoring clarity about our adversaries.
我们在世界各地巩固友谊的同时，也开始重新正视我们的对手。
When the people of Iran rose up against the crimes of their corrupt dictatorship, I did not stay silent.

I am asking Congress to address the fundamental flaws in the terrible Iran nuclear deal.

My administration has also imposed tough sanctions on the communist and socialist dictatorships in Cuba and Venezuela.

But no regime has oppressed its own citizens more totally or brutally than the cruel dictatorship in North Korea.
但没有哪个政权像残酷的朝鲜独裁者一样如此残暴地压迫本国公民。
