In many places, people live on little more than a dollar a day. So the United States will join with our allies to eradicate such extreme poverty in the next two decades by connecting more people to the global economy; by empowering women; by giving our young and brightest minds new opportunities to serve, and helping communities to feed, and power, and educate themselves; by saving the world's children from preventable deaths; and by realizing the promise of an AIDS-free generation, which is within our reach.
You see, America must remain a beacon to all who seek freedom during this period of historic change. I saw the power of hope last year in Rangoon, in Burma, when Aung San Suu Kyi welcomed an American President into the home where she had been imprisoned for years; when thousands of Burmese lined the streets, waving American flags, including a man who said, "There is justice and law in the United States. I want our country to be like that."我们还知道，世界上最贫穷地区的进步能增进我们所有人的福祉——这不仅因为它创造新的市场， 让世界某些地区的秩序更稳定，还因为它是道义之举。在很多地方，人们每天只靠大约一美元维持生计。因此，美国将与我们的盟友一起，把更多的人纳入全球经济，增强妇女权能，为我们年轻而最聪明的人才提供新的服务机会，帮助社区实现粮食、电力和教育自立，让世界儿童免于可预防的死亡，实现没有艾滋病的一代人的承诺——这一目标已经触手可及——从而在未来二十年里消除极端贫困。
你们认识到，对于在这一历史变革时期所有追求自由的人们，美国必须继续是一座灯塔。去年在缅甸仰光（Rangoon），当昂山素季（Aung San Suu Kyi）将一位美国总统迎进她曾被囚禁多年的家中时，当数以千计的缅甸人聚集街头，挥舞美国国旗，其中一个人说：“美国有正义和法律。我希望我们的国家也像那样”时，我看到了希望的力量。
