○  奥巴马英文演讲稿：签署金融改革法案  ○

s Dodd have worked day and night -- (applause) -- Barney and Chris have worked day and night to bring about this reform.And I am profoundly grateful to them.I would be remiss if I didn't also express my appreciation to Senator Harry Reid and Speaker Nancy Pelosi for their leadership.It wouldn’t have happened without them.(Applause.)

　　Passing this bill was no easy task.To get there, we had to overcome the furious lobbying of an array of powerful interest groups and a partisan minority determined to block change.So the members who are here today, both on the stage and in the audience, they have done a great service in devoting so much time and expertise to this effort, to looking out for the public interests and not the special interests.(Applause.)And I also want to thank the three Republican senators who put partisanship aside -- (applause) -- judged this bill on the merits, and voted for reform.We’re grateful to them.(Applause.)And the Republican House members.(Applause.)Good to see you, Joe.(Applause.)

　　Now, let’s put this in perspective.The fact is, the financial industry is central to our nation’s ability to grow, to prosper, to compete and to innovate.There are a lot of banks that understand and fulfill this vital role, and there are a whole lot of bankers who want to do right -- and do right -- by their customers.This reform will help foster

　　innovation, not hamper it.It is designed to make sure that everybody follows the same set of rules, so that firms compete on price and quality, not on tricks and not on traps.

　　It demands accountability and responsibility from everyone. It provides certainty to everybody, from bankers to farmers to business owners to consumers.And unless your business model depends on cutting corners or bilking your customers, you’ve got nothing to fear from reform.(Applause.)

　　Now, for all those Americans who are wondering what Wall Street reform means for you
