奥巴马感恩节发言稿(翻译版)

奥巴马感恩节发言稿（翻译版）

在本周的讲话中，奥巴马总统祝愿美国人民感恩节快乐，并向海外服役的英勇战士们，在社区收容所和施粥点服务的人们致以特别的谢意。当年依靠相互帮助而坚持下来的人们庆祝了第一个感恩节，今天，我们再次欢聚一堂，依靠这种团结的精神克服一切困难，并牢记对自由的感激，祝福我们的家庭、社会和国家。From my family to yours, I'd like to wish you a happy Thanksgiving. 我谨代表我的家人祝愿大家感恩节快乐。

Like millions of Americans, Michelle, Malia,Sasha and I will spend the day eating great food, watching a little football, and

reflecting on how truly lucky we truly are. 像千百万美国人一样，米歇尔，玛莉亚、萨莎和我将一起度过这美好的一天，一起吃好吃的，看看球赛，并反思我们真的是多么的幸运啊！

As Americans, each of us has our own list of things and people to be thankful for. 我们每一个人都有自己的需要感激的事情和人。But there are some blessings we all share.但有些是我们要共同祝愿的。

We're especially grateful for the men and women who defend our country overseas. 我们应该特别感激在海外保卫我们国家的男女战士们。

To all the

service members eating Thanksgiving dinner far from your families:

the American people

are thinking of you today. And when you come

home, we

intend to make sure that

we serve you as

well as you're serving America. 所有远离家人享用感恩节晚餐的战士们，美国人民感谢你们。当你们回家的时候，我们保证一定会像你们为美国服务一样为你们服务。

We're also grateful for the Americans who are taking time out of their holiday to serve in soup kitchens and shelters, making sure their neighbors have a hot meal and a place to stay. 我们还应向在节日里抽出时间在施粥点和收容所服务的人们表达谢意，是他们让邻居们有热饭吃，有地方住。

This sense of mutual responsibility（这份互帮互助的责任心）–the idea that I am my brother's keeper; that I am my sister's keeper –has always been a part of what makes our country special. And it's one of the reasons the Thanksgiving tradition has endured.——我是兄弟的守护者，我是我姐妹的守护者的精神——一直是让我们国家区别于其他国家的原因的一部分。这也是感恩节这一传统一直延续下来的原因之一。

The very first Thanksgiving was a celebration of community during a time of great hardship, 首个感恩节是当时的社区居民在非常艰

难的时期共同度过的

and we have followed that example ever since. 自那时起，我们就继承了这一传统。

Even when the fate of our union was far from certain – during a Ci vil War, two World Wars, a Great Depression –即便是在国家的命运前途未卜之时——包括南北战争时期、两次世界大战和大萧条时期

Americans drew strength from each other. They had faith that tomorrow would be better than today. ——美国人民依然相互帮助相互支持。因为他们相信，明天一定会比今天更美好。We're grateful that they did. 我们要感激他们。As we gather around the table, 当我们在餐桌前团聚时，we pause to remember the pilgrims, pioneers, and patriots who helped make this country what it is. 让我们暂停片刻，共同纪念这些开拓者、先驱和爱国人士，是他们建立了这个国家

They faced impossible odds, and yet somehow, they persevered. Today, it's our turn. 他们面对重重困难，但无论如何，他们始终坚持不懈。今天，轮到我们了。

I know that for many of you, this Thanksgiving is more difficult than most. 我知道，对许多人来说，今年的感恩节比以前大多数要艰难。But no matter how tough things are right now, we still give thanks fo

r that most American of blessings, 但无论当下有多么困难，我们依然要表达对多数美国人民祝愿，the chance to determine our own destiny. 感谢我们拥有的决定自己命运的机会。The problems we face didn't develop overnight, 我们面临的问题不是一朝一夕积累的，and we won't solve them overnight. 我们也不可能短时间内解决。But we will solve them. 但我们肯定能解决它们。All it takes is for each of us to do our part. 所需要的只是每个人都尽到自己的责任。With all the partisanship and gridlock here in Washington, it's easy to wonder if such unity is really possible. 如果只看到华盛顿的党派之争和政治僵局，很容易怀疑这种团结是否可能。But think about what's happening at this very moment: 但要想到此时此刻所发生的事情：Americans from all walks of life are coming together as one people, grateful for the blessings of family, community, and country.来自各界的美国人民团结在一起，共同祝愿家庭，社会和国家，（这种团结就有可能）。If we keep that spirit alive如果我们保持这种精神, if we support each other, and look out for each other, and remember that we're all in this together, 如果我们相互帮助，相互照料，

8 牢记我们是一个整体，then I know that we too will overcome the challenges of our time. 那么我们就将能克服所有的挑战。

So today, I'm thankful to serve as your President and Commander-and-Chief. 因此，今天，我要感谢大家让我有幸担任

总统和总司令。I'm thankful that my daughters get to grow up in this great country of ours. 我要感谢我的女儿能在我们这个伟大的国度成长。And I'm thankful for the chance to do my part, 我还要感谢我能有做出我的贡献的机会，as together, we make tomorrow better than today. 让我们一起让明天更加美好。Thanks, and have a wonderful Thanksgiving. 谢谢，祝大家感恩节快乐。

奥巴马的最经典演讲

奥巴马开学演讲稿——我们为什么要上学 阿文弗吉尼亚州，阿林顿市，2009年9月8日嗨，大家好！你们今天过得怎么样？我现在和弗吉尼亚州阿林顿郡韦克菲尔德高中的学生们在一起，全国各地也有从幼儿园到高三的众多学生们通过电视关注这里，我很高兴你们能共同分享这一时刻。 我知道，对你们中的许多人来说，今天是开学的第一天，你们中的有一些刚刚进入幼儿园或升上初高中，对你们来说，这是在新学校的第一天，因此，假如你们感到有些紧张，那也是很正常的。我想也会有许多毕业班的学生们正自信满满地准备最后一年的冲刺。不过，我想无论你有多大、在读哪个年级，许多人都打心底里希望现在还在放暑假，以及今天不用那么早起床。 我可以理解这份心情。小时候，我们家在印度尼西亚住过几年，而我妈妈没钱送我去其他美国孩子们上学的地方去读书，因此她决定自己给我上课——时间是每周一到周五的凌晨4点半。 显然，我不怎么喜欢那么早就爬起来，很多时候，我就这么在厨房的桌子前睡着了。每当我埋怨的时候，我妈总会用同一副表情看着我说：“小鬼，你以为教你我就很轻松？” 所以，我可以理解你们中的许多人对于开学还需要时间来调整和适应，但今天我站在这里，是为了和你们谈一些重要的事情。我要和你们谈一谈你们每个人的教育，以及在新的学年里，你们应当做些什么。 我做过许多关于教育的讲话，也常常用到“责任”这个词。 我谈到过教师们有责任激励和启迪你们，督促你们学习。 我谈到过家长们有责任看管你们认真学习、完成作业，不要成天只会看电视或打游戏机。 我也很多次谈到过政府有责任设定高标准严要求、协助老师和校长们的工作，改变在有些学校里学生得不到应有的学习机会的现状。 但哪怕这一切都达到最好，哪怕我们有最尽职的教师、最好的家长、和最优秀的学校，假如你们不去履行自己的责任的话，那么这一切努力都会白费。——除非你每天准时去上学、除非你认真地听老师讲课、除非你把父母、长辈和其他大人们说的话放在心上、除非你肯付出成功所必需的努力，否则这一切都会失去意义。 而这就是我今天讲话的主题：对于自己的教育，你们中每一个人的责任。首先，我想谈谈你们对于自己有什么责任。 你们中的每一个人都会有自己擅长的东西，每一个人都是有用之材，而发现自己的才能是什么，就是你们要对自己担起的责任。教育给你们提供了发现自己才能的机会。 或许你能写出优美的文字——甚至有一天能让那些文字出现在书籍和报刊上——但假如不在英语课上经常练习写作，你不会发现自己有这样的天赋；或许你能成为一个发明家、创造家——甚至设计出像今天的iPhone一样流行的产品，或研制出新的药物与疫苗——但假如不在自然科学课程上做上几次实验，你不会知道自己有这样的天赋；或许你能成为一名议员或最高法院法官，但假如你不去加入什么学生会或参加几次辩论赛，你也不会发现自己的才能。 而且，我可以向你保证，不管你将来想要做什么，你都需要相应的教育。——你想当名医生、当名教师或当名警官？你想成为护士、成为建筑设计师、律师

奥巴马感恩节演讲

His name is "Courage". He traveled here from Goldsboro, North Carolina, where he was raised under Walter's own precious care。 There you go。 Now, the National Turkey Federation has been bringing its finestturkeys to the White House for more than 50 years. I'm told PresidentsEisenhower and Johnson actually ate their turkeys. You can't fault themfor that; that's a good-looking bird. President Kennedy was even givena turkey with a sign around its neck that said, "Good Eatin', Mr.President." But he showed mercy and he said, "Let's keep him going."And 20 years ago this Thanksgiving, the first President Bush issued thefirst official presidential pardon for a turkey。 Today, I am pleased to announce that thanks to the interventions of Malia and Sasha - because I was planning to eat this sucker- "Courage" will also be spared this terrible and delicious fate. Latertoday, he'll head to Disneyland, where he'll be grand marshal oftomorrow's parade. And just in case "Courage" can't fulfill hisresponsibilities, Walter brought along another turkey, "Carolina," asan alternate, the stand-in。 Now, later this afternoon, Michelle, Malia, Sasha and I will take two of their less fortunate brethren to Martha's Table, an organization that does extraordinary work to helpfolks here in D.C. who need it the most. And I want to thank Jaindl'sTurkey Farm in Orefield, Pennsylvania, for donating those dressed birdsfor dinner. So today, all told, I believe it's fair to say that we havesaved or created four turkeys。 You know, there are certain days that remind me of why I ran forthis office. And then there are moments like this where I pardon aturkey and send it to Disneyland. But every single day, I am thankfulfor the extraordinary responsibility that the American people haveplaced in me. I am humbled by the privilege that it is to serve them,and the tremendous honor it is to serve as Commander-in-Chief of thefinest military in the world. And I want to wish a Happy Thanksgivingto every service member at home or in harm's way. We're proud of youand we are thinking of you and we're praying for you。 When my family and I sit around the table tomorrow, just likemillions of other families across America, we'll take time to give ourthanks for many blessings. But we'll also remember this is a time whenso many members of our American family are hurting. There's no questionthis has been a tough year for America. We're at war. Our economy isemerging from an extraordinary recession into recovery. But there's along way to go and a lot of work to do。

2017年奥巴马就职演讲稿英文原稿(附中文翻译) 篇一：奥巴马就职演讲稿中英文对照 奥巴马就职演讲稿中英文对照 (CNN) -- Barack Obama was sworn in as the 44th president of the United States and the nation's first African-American president Tuesday. This is a transcript of his prepared speech. In his speech Tuesday, President Obama said America must play its role in ushering in a new era of peace. My fellow citizens: I stand here today humbled by the task before us, grateful for the trust you have bestowed, mindful of the sacrifices borne by our ancestors. I thank President Bush for his service to our nation, as well as the generosity and cooperation he has shown throughout this transition. Forty-four Americans have now taken the presidential oath. The words have been spoken during rising tides of prosperity and the still waters of peace. Yet, every so often, the oath is taken amidst gathering clouds and raging storms. At these moments, America has carried on not simply because of the skill or vision of those in high office, but because We the People have remained faithful to the ideals of our forebearers, and true to our founding documents. So it has been. So it must be with this generation of Americans. That we are in the midst of crisis is now well understood. Our nation is at war, against a far-reaching network of violence and hatred. Our economy is badly weakened, a consequence of greed and irresponsibility on the part of some, but also our collective failure to make hard choices and prepare the nation for a new age. Homes have been lost; jobs shed; businesses shuttered. Our health care is too costly; our schools fail too many; and each day brings further evidence that the ways we use energy strengthen our adversaries and threaten our planet. These are the indicators of crisis, subject to data and statistics. Less measurable but no less profound is a sapping of confidence across our land -- a nagging fear that America's decline is inevitable, and that the next generation must lower its sights. Today I say to you that the challenges we face are real. They are serious and they are many. They will not be met easily or in a short span of time. But know this, America: They will be met. On this day, we gather because we have chosen hope over fear, unity of purpose over conflict and discord. On this day, we come to proclaim an end to the petty grievances and false promises, the recriminations and worn-out dogmas, that for far too long have strangled our politics. We remain a young nation, but in the words of Scripture, the time has come to set aside

奥巴马演讲翻译

奥巴马2009年就职演说 同胞们： 我今天站在这里，因为面前的任务而感到谦卑，因为你们的信任而心存感激，同时铭记先辈们做所出的巨大牺牲。感谢布什总统为这个国家做出的贡献，同时也谢谢他在整个政权交接期间表现出的慷慨与合作。 迄今已经有44名美国人宣誓就任总统。这些誓词曾出现在繁荣的上升趋势和如水般平静的和平中，当然，也经常会出现在乌云密布和狂风暴雨之时。在这各种时刻，美国一直在继续前行，这不仅仅是因为执政的技巧或者有先见之明，而是因为我们的人民一直在坚守先辈们的理想，忠实履行我们的建国宣言。过去是这样，这一代的美国人仍将会坚持这样做。 众所周知，我们目前正处在危机之中。我们的国家正在对暴力和仇恨宣战。我们的经济也被严重削弱，这是一些人贪婪和不负责任的后果，但在做出艰难选择和准备迎接新时代方面，我们出现了集体性的失误。房屋失去了；工作丢掉了；商业萧条了；我们的卫生保健耗资巨大；我们太多的学校不合格；每天都能找到更多的证据表明我们利用能源的方式使得对手更加强大，并且威胁到了我们整个星球。 这些数据和统计都是危机的表现特征。虽然无法具备测量，但产生的深远影响是我们的信心受到了侵蚀--担心美国的衰退不可避免，担心下一代会降低他们的期待。今天我要向你们说的是，我们面临的挑战是真实存在的。这些挑战很多，而且非常严重，它们不会轻易地或者在短时间内就能得以解决。但大家也必须认识到，美国，终将会解决这些困难。

今天，我们聚集在这里，是因为我选择用希望来战胜恐惧，用团结来战胜冲突与分歧。今天，我们来到这里将结束悲戚和错误的承诺，抛弃指责和教条主义这些扼杀我们政治的东西。我们仍然是一个年轻的国家，但现在应该摒弃充满孩子气的行为，重申我们不朽的精神；选择我们更好的历史；宏扬那些珍贵而且高尚的理念，并将这一代一代地传递下去。上帝认为天下众生皆平等，众生皆自由，而且都应该拥有追求幸福的机会。 在重申我们国家的伟大时，我们必须明白，伟大绝对不会是一种馈赠，而是要靠我们去努力争取。我们的征途从来没有捷径，也不属于那些胆怯懦弱、消谴工作或者只追求财富名利的人。为了我们，他们整理起自己不多的物品开始穿越大海寻找新的生活；为了我们，他们在血汗工厂辛苦劳作，忍受着皮鞭的抽打并且犁开坚硬的土地；为了我们，他们在诸如康科得、盖茨堡、诺曼底等等地方作战并献出生命。 这些男男女女们不停地奋斗和牺牲，一直工作直到双手生疼，目的只是为了过上更好一些的生活。在他们的眼中，美国比他们个人的报负更加重要，也比所有出身、财富或者宗派之间的差别更加重要。这就是我们今天仍在继续的征程。我们仍然是世界上最繁荣、最强大的国家。当这场危机开始后，我们工人的生产力并没有下降；我们的思想也没有失去创造力；我们现在需要的商品和服务，并没有比上周、上月或者去年减少；我们的生产力并没有降低。从今天开始，我们必须振作起来，拂去身上的灰尘，重新开始振兴美国。 环视周围，到处是要做的工作。目前的经济状况要求我们采取大胆和迅速的行动，我们将采取行动，不仅是创造新的工作岗位，而且是为经济的增长奠定新的基石。我们将建设道路和桥梁、电网和数字网络，它们将为我们的商业活动服务，把我们联系在一起。我们将使科学回归其位，应用科学技术来提高医疗的质量并降低其费用。我们将利用太阳能、风能、潮汐能来驱动我们的汽车，运营我们的工厂。我们将变革我们的学校、学院和大学以满足新时代的需求。这些是我们能够做的，我们将做这一切。 现在，有些人质疑我们的雄心壮志。他们称，我们的制度不能容忍太多宏伟的计划，他们很健忘，因为他们已忘记了这个国家曾经作过的事情，忘记了自由的男女在想像力和共同目标、必要性和勇气相结合的情况下所能取得的成就。 愤世嫉俗者未能理解的是，他们脚下的土地已发生了变动，过去那种消耗我们太长时间的陈腐的政治争论将不会重现。我们今天问的问题将不是我

2016-奥巴马感恩节致辞

WEEKLY ADDRESS: Coming Together On Thanksgiving In this week's address, President Obama wished the American people a happy Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving reminds us that no matter our differences, we are still one people, part of something bigger than ourselves. Because what makes us American are the ideals to which we pledge our allegiance. And it's about our ability to live up to the creed "E Pluribus Unum" -- that out of many, we are one. Remarks of President Barack Obama as Delivered Weekly Address The White House November 24, 2016 Hi, everybody. On behalf of the Obama family - Michelle, Malia, Sasha, Grandma, Bo, and Sunny - I want to wish you a very happy Thanksgiving. Like so many of you, we'll spend the day with friends and family, turkey and touchdowns. We'll give thanks for each other, and for all that God has given us. And we'll reflect on what truly binds us as Americans. That's never been more important. As a country, we've just emerged from a noisy, passionate, and sometimes divisive campaign season. After all, elections are often where we emphasize what sets us apart. We face off in a contest of "us" versus "them." We focus on the candidate we support instead of some of the ideals we share. But a few short weeks later, Thanksgiving reminds us that no matter our differences, we are still one people, part of something bigger than ourselves. We are communities that move forward together. We are neighbors who look out for one another, especially those among us with the least. We are always, simply, Americans. That's why, through the fog of Civil War, President Lincoln saw what mattered most - the unalienable truths for which so many gave their lives, and which made possible "a new birth of freedom." And so precisely when the fate of the Union hung in the balance, he boldly proclaimed a day of Thanksgiving, when the nation's gifts "should be solemnly, reverently, and gratefully acknowledged, as with one heart and one voice by the whole American people." Today, we continue to give thanks for those blessings, and to all who ensured that they would be our inheritance. We remember the determined patriots who landed at the edge of the world in search of freedom. We give thanks to the brave men and women who defend that freedom in every corner of the world. And we honor all people - from the First Americans to our newest arrivals - who continue to shape our nation's story, enrich our heritage, and give meaning to our founding values, values we must never take for granted. That in America, we are bound not by any one race or religion, but rather an adherence to a common belief - that all of us are created equal. That we may

The time has come to reaffirm our enduring spirit; to choose our better history; to carry forward that precious gift, that noble idea, passed on from generation to generation: the God-given promise that all are equal, all are free, and all deserve a chance to pursue their full measure of happiness. In reaffirming the greatness of our nation, we understand that greatness is never a given. It must be earned. Our journey has never been one of short-cuts or settling for less. It has not been the path for the faint-hearted - for those who prefer leisure over work, or seek only the pleasures of riches and fame.
