大家好!谢谢你们。谢谢你们。谢谢你们大家。好,大家请就坐。你们今天都好吗?(掌声)蒂姆?斯派塞(Tim Spicer)好吗?(掌声)我现在与弗吉尼亚州阿灵顿郡韦克菲尔德高中的学生们在一起。美国各地从小学预备班到中学12年级的学生正在收听收看。我很高兴大家今天都能参与。我还要感谢韦克菲尔德高中出色的组织安排。请为你们自己热烈鼓掌。(掌声)

I know that for many of you, today is the first day of school. And for those of you in kindergarten, or starting middle or high school, it’s your first day in a new school, so it’s understandable if you’re a little nervous. I imagine there are some seniors out there who are feeling pretty good right now -- (applause) -- with just one more year to go. And no matter what grade you’re in, some of you are probably wishing it were still summer and you could’ve stayed in bed just a little bit longer this morning.

我知道,今天是你们很多人开学的日子。对于进入小学预备班、初中或高中的学生,今天是你们来到新学校的第一天,心里可能有点紧张,这是可以理解的。我能想象有些毕业班学生现在感觉很不错——(掌声)——还有一年就毕业

了。不论在哪个年级,你们有些人可能希望暑假更长一点,今天早上还能多睡一小会儿。

I know that feeling. When I was young, my family lived overseas. I lived in Indonesia for a few years. And my mother, she didn’t have the money to send me where all the American kids went to school, but she thought it was important for me to keep up with an American education. So she decided to teach me extra lessons herself, Monday through Friday. But because she had to go to work, the only time she could do it was at 4:30 in the morning.

我了解这种感觉。我小时候,我们家生活在海外。我在印度尼西亚住了几年。我妈妈没有钱送我上其他美国孩子上的学校,但她认为必须让我接受美式教育。因此,她决定从周一到周五自己给我补课。不过她还要上班,所以只能在清晨四点半给我上课。

Now, as you might imagine, I wasn’t too happy about getting up that early. And a lot of times, I’d fall asleep right there at the kitchen table. But whenever I’d complain, my mother would just give me one of those looks and she’d say, “This is no picnic for me either, buster.” (Laughter.)

你们可以想见,我不太情愿那么早起床。有很多次,我趴在餐桌上就睡着了。但每当我抱怨的时候,我妈妈都会那样地看我一眼,然后说:“小子,这对我也并不轻松。”(笑声)

So I know that some of you are still adjusting to being back at school. But I’m here today because I have something important to discuwith you. I’m here because I want to talk with you about your education and what’s expected of all of you in this new school year.

我知道你们有些人还在适应开学后的生活。但我今天来到这里是因为有重要的事情要和你们说。我来这里是要和你们谈谈你们的教育问题,以及在这个新学年对你们所有人的期望。

Now, I’ve given a lot of speeches about education. And I’ve talked about responsibility a lot.

我做过很多次有关教育问题的演讲。我多次谈到过责任问题。

I’ve talked about teachers’ responsibility for inspiring students and pushing you to learn.

我谈到过教师激励学生并督促他们学习的责任。

I’ve talked about your parents’ responsibility for ma-ki-ng sure you stay on track, and you get your

homework done, and don’t spend every waking hour in front of the TV or with the Xbox.

我谈到过家长的责任,要确保你们走正路,完成家庭作业,不要整天坐在电视前或玩Xbox游戏。

I’ve talked a lot about your government’s responsibility for setting high standards, and supporting teachers and principals, and turning around schools that aren’t working, where students aren’t getting the opportunities that they deserve.

我多次谈到过政府的责任,要制定高标准,支持教师和校长的工作,彻底改善不能为学生提供应有机会的、教育质量差的学校。

But at the end of the day, we can have the most dedicated teachers, the most supportive parents, the best schools in the world -- and none of it will make a difference, none of it will matter unleall of you fulfill your responsibilities, unleyou show up to those schools, unleyou pay attention to those teachers, unleyou listen to your parents and grandparents and other adults and put in the hard work it takes to succeed. That’s what I want to focus on today: the responsibility each of you has for your education.

然而,即使我们拥有最敬业的教师,最尽力的家长和全世界最好的学校——如果你们大家不履行你们的责任,不到校上课,不专心听讲,不听家长、祖父祖母和其他大人的话,不付出取得成功所必须的勤奋努力,那么这一切都毫无用处,都无关紧要。这就是我今天讲话的重点:你们每个人对自己的教育应尽的责任。

I want to start with the responsibility you have to yourself. Every single one of you has something that you’re good at. Every single one of you has something to offer. And you have a responsibility to yourself to discover what that is. That’s the opportunity an education can provide.

我首先要讲讲你们对自己应尽的责任。你们每个人都有自己的长处。你们每个人都能做出自己的贡献。你们对自己应尽的责任是发现自己的能力所在。而教育能够提供这样的机会。

Maybe you could be a great writer -- maybe even good enough to write a book or articles in a newspa-pe-r -- but you might not know it until you write that English pa-pe-r -- that English clapa-pe-r that’s assigned to you. Maybe you could be an innovator or an inventor -- maybe even good enough to come up with the next iPhone

or the new medicine or vaccine -- but you might not know it until you do your project for your science class. Maybe you could be a mayor or a senator or a Supreme Court justice -- but you might not know that until you join student government or the debate team.

你或许能成为一名出色的作家——甚至可能写书或在报纸上发表文章——但你可能要在完成那篇英文课的作文后才会发现自己的才华。你或许能成为一名创新者或发明家——甚至可能设计出新一代iPhone或研制出新型药物或疫苗——但你可能要在完成科学课的实验后才会发现自己的才华。你或许能成为一名市长或参议员或最高法院的大-法官——但你可能要在参加学生会的工作或辩论队后才会发现自己的才华。

And no matter what you want to do with your life, I guarantee that you’ll need an education to do it. You want to be a doctor, or a teacher, or a police officer? You want to be a nurse or an architect, a lawyer or a member of our military? You’re going to need a good education for every single one of those careers. You cannot drop out of school and just drop into a good job. You’ve got to train for it and work for it and learn for it.

不论你的生活志向是什么,我敢肯定你必须上学读书才能实现它。你想当医生、教师或警官吗?你想当护士、建筑师、律师或军人吗?你必须接受良好的教育,才能从事上述任何一种职业。你不能指望辍学后能碰上个好工作。你必须接受培训,为之努力,为之学习。

And this isn’t just important for your own life and your own future. What you make of your education will decide nothing lethan the future of this country. The future of America depends on you. What you’re learning in school today will determine whether we as a nation can meet our greatest challenges in the future.

这并非只对你个人的人生和未来意义重大。可以毫不夸大地说,教育给你带来的益处将决定这个国家的未来。美国的未来取决于你们。你们今日在校学习的知识将决定我们作为一个国家是否能够迎接我们未来所面临的最严峻挑战。

You’ll need the knowledge and problem-solving skills you learn in science and math to cure diseases like cancer and AIDS, and to develop new energy technologies and protect our environment. You’ll need the insights and critical-thinking skills you gain in history and social studies to fight poverty and homelessness, crime and discrimination, and make our

nation more fair and more free. You’ll need the creativity and ingenuity you develop in all your classes to build new companies that will create new jobs and boost our economy.

你们将需要利用你们通过自然科学和数学课程所学到的知识和解决问题的能力来治愈癌症、艾滋病及其他疾病,开发新的能源技术和保护我们的环境。你们将需要利用你们在历史学和社会学课堂上所获得的知识和独立思考能力来抗击贫困和解决无家可归问题,打击犯罪和消除歧视,使我们的国家更公平、更自由。你们将需要利用你们在所有课堂上培养的创造力和智慧来创办新公司,增加就业机会,振兴我们的经济。

We need every single one of you to develop your talents and your skills and your intellect so you can help us old folks solve our most difficult problems. If you don’t do that -- if you quit on school -- you’re not just quitting on yourself, you’re quitting on your country.

我们需要你们每个人发挥你们的聪明才智和技能,以便帮助老一辈人解决我们面临的最棘手问题。如果你们不这样做,如果你们辍学,你们不仅仅是自暴自弃,也是抛弃自己的国家。

Now, I know it’s not always easy to do well in school.

I know a lot of you have challenges in your lives right now that can make it hard to focus on your schoolwork.

我自然知道要做到学业优秀并非总是易事。我知道你们许多人在生活中面临挑战,难以集中精力从事学业。

I get it. I know what it’s like. My father left my family when I was two years old, and I was raised by a single mom who had to work and who struggled at times to pay the bills and wasn’t always able to give us the things that other kids had. There were times when I missed having a father in my life. There were times when I was lonely and I felt like I didn’t fit in.

我明白这一点。我有亲身感受。两岁时,我父亲离家而去,我是由一位单亲母亲抚养成人的,母亲不得不工作,并时常为支付生活费用而苦苦挣扎,但有时仍无法为我们提供其他孩子享有的东西。有时,我渴望生活中能有一位父亲。有时我感到孤独,感到自己不适应社会。

So I wasn’t always as focused as I should have been on school, and I did some things I’m not proud of, and I got in more trouble than I should have. And my life could have easily taken a turn for the worse.

我并非总是像我应该做到的那样专心学习,我也曾做过

我如今不能引以为豪的一些事情,我曾惹过不应该惹的麻烦。我的人生原本会轻易陷入更糟糕的境地。

But I was -- I was lucky. I got a lot of second chances, and I had the opportunity to go to college and law school and follow my dreams. My wife, our First Lady Michelle Obama, she has a similar story. Neither of her parents had gone to college, and they didn’t have a lot of money. But they worked hard, and she worked hard, so that she could go to the best schools in this country.

但是,我当年际遇不错。我有过许多第二次机会,我有幸能上大学,上法学院,追求自己的理想。我的妻子,我们的第一夫人米歇尔?奥巴马,也有着类似的经历。她的父母都未曾上过大学,家里很穷。但他们非常勤奋,她也是如此,因此她得以进入一些美国最好的学校。

Some of you might not have those advantages. Maybe you don’t have adults in your life who give you the support that you need. Maybe someone in your family has lost their job and there’s not enough money to go around. Maybe you live in a neighborhood where you don’t feel safe, or have friends who are pressuring you to do things you know aren’t right.

你们中有一些人可能没有那些有利条件。或许你们生活

中没有成年人为你们提供你们所需要的支持。或许你们家中有人失业,经济非常拮据。或许你们生活在使你们感觉不安全的社区,或有朋友逼迫你们去做你们知道不对的事情。

奥巴马胜选演讲全文(美国的变革时代已到来)

美国的变革时代已到来:奥巴马胜选演讲全文 国际在线11月5日电/11月4日晚,奥巴马在芝加哥发表激情演讲,称如果现在仍然有人怀疑在美国是不是真的任何事情都可能发生,怀疑我们开国之父们的梦想是否还留存在这片土地上,怀疑美国民主的力量,今夜,就是你的答案。以下是中文翻译稿全文 芝加哥的公民们,大家好! 如果现在仍然有人怀疑在美国是不是真的任何事情都可能发生,怀疑我们开国之父们的梦想是否还留存在这片土地上,怀疑美国民主的力量,今夜,就是你的答案。 在这个国家的学校和教堂中人们曾焦急地等待着答案,一些人甚至从未像今天一样——等待了3~4个小时,但是他们知道这一时刻非同一般,他们的声音也同样非同一般。 在美国的土地上,无论是年轻人还是老人;穷人还是富人;无论是共和党人还是民主党人;无论是黑人、白人、西班牙裔、亚裔、美国原住民、同性恋、异性恋、残疾人还是非残疾人都发出同一种信息,我并非孤身一人。我们是,而且永远都是美利坚合众国!这一天我们等得太久了,但是今晚,因为我们在这场竞选中、在这个地点、在此时此刻所做的一切,改变已经降临美国。 在今天晚上,我很荣幸地接到了麦凯恩参议员打来的电话。麦凯恩参议员在这场竞选中进行了长久、艰难的努力。而且,为这个他热爱的国家,他奋斗了更久、付出了更多的努力。他为美国做出了超乎我们大多数人想象的牺牲,因为这个无畏无私的领导人所付出的努力,我们才有了更好的生活。我对他表示祝贺,也对佩林州长所取得的成果表示祝贺。同时,我也期待着能在接下来的几个月内,和他们共同努力履行对这个国家的诺言。 我想感谢我在这个旅程中的搭档,一个全心全意参加竞选的男人,一个为同他一起在斯克蓝顿(宾夕法尼亚东北部城市)街道长大、一起坐火车到特拉华州的人们发言的男人,美国未来的副总统,乔·拜登。 在过去的16年里如果没有朋友们的支持和鼓励,那么我今晚将不会站在这里……我的家庭的支持、关爱,美国的下一位第一夫人米歇尔·奥巴马,还有萨沙和玛丽雅,我对你们的爱甚至超出你们的想象,你们将得到新的爸爸,和你们一起到新的白宫。 我却再也不能陪伴我的外祖母了,但我知道她一直在守望着我们。我也十分想念我的家人和亲戚,我知道自己亏欠他们太多,太多。我要感谢马娅,阿尔玛,以及我所有的兄弟姐妹,感谢你们对我无私的支持,对此我深表感激。还有,感谢我的竞选经理大卫·普劳夫。还有那些在竞选活动中的无名英雄们,他们表现的很棒,是他们给美国带来了一场最完美的大选,我想,这在美国历史上是绝无仅有的。还有我的首席战略师大卫·阿克塞尔罗德。他是我的伙伴,在我竞选的每个阶段都给我极大的帮助,为我打造了美国大选史上最棒的竞选团队。是你让这一切发生了,我将永远对你为这一切做出的牺牲心存感激。但是最重要的,我将永远无法忘记这场胜利真正的主人,这属于你们,这属于你们。

奥巴马开学演讲稿

奥巴马开学演讲稿(中英对照)——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!您们今天过得怎么样?我现在与弗吉尼亚州阿林顿郡韦克菲尔德高中得学生们在一起,全国各地也有从幼儿园到高三得众多学生们通过电视关注这里,我很高兴您们能共同分享这一时刻。 我知道,对您们中得许多人来说,今天就是开学得第一天,您们中得有一些刚刚进入幼儿园或升上初高中,对您们来说,这就是在新学校得第一天,因此,假如您们感到有些紧张,那也就是很正常得。我想也会有许多毕业班得学生们正自信满满地准备最后一年得冲刺。不过,我想无论您有多大、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她美国孩子们上学得地方去读书,因此她决定自己给我上课——时间就是每周一到周五得凌晨4点半。 显然,我不怎么喜欢那么早就爬起来,很多时候,我就这么在厨房得桌子前睡着了。每当我埋怨得时候,我妈总会用同一副表情瞧着我说:“小鬼,您以为教您我就很轻松?”所以,我可以理解您们中得许多人对于开学还需要时间来调整与适应,但今天我站在这里,就是为了与您们谈一些重要得事情。我要与您们谈一谈您们每个人得教育,以及在新得学年里,您们应当做些什么。

我做过许多关于教育得讲话,也常常用到“责任”这个词。 我谈到过教师们有责任激励与启迪您们,督促您们学习。 我谈到过家长们有责任瞧管您们认真学习、完成作业,不要成天只会瞧电视或打游戏机。我也很多次谈到过政府有责任设定高标准严要求、协助老师与校长们得工作,改变在有些学校里学生得不到应有得学习机会得现状。 但哪怕这一切都达到最好,哪怕我们有最尽职得教师、最好得家长、与最优秀得学校,假如您们不去履行自己得责任得话,那么这一切努力都会白费。——除非您每天准时去上学、除非您认真地听老师讲课、除非您把父母、长辈与其她大人们说得话放在心上、除非您肯付出成功所必需得努力,否则这一切都会失去意义。 而这就就是我今天讲话得主题:对于自己得教育,您们中每一个人得责任。首先,我想谈谈您们对于自己有什么责任。 您们中得每一个人都会有自己擅长得东西,每一个人都就是有用之材,而发现自己得才能就是什么,就就是您们要对自己担起得责任。教育给您们提供了发现自己才能得机会。 或许您能写出优美得文字——甚至有一天能让那些文字出现在书籍与报刊上——但假如不在英语课上经常练习写作,您不会发现自己有这样得天赋;或许您能成为一个发明家、创造家——甚至设计出像今天得iPhone一样流行得产品,或研制出新得药物与疫苗——但假如不在自然科学课程上做上几次实验,您不会知道自己有

How about Tim Spicer? (Applause.) I am here with students at Wakefield High School in Arlington, Virginia. And we've got students tuning in from all across America, from kindergarten through 12th grade. And I am just so glad that all could join us today. And I want to thank Wakefield for being such an outstanding host. Give yourselves a big round of applause. (Applause.) I know that for many of you, today is the first day of school. And for those of you in kindergarten, or starting middle or high school, it's your first day in a new school, so it's understandable if you're a little nervous.

美国总统奥巴马胜选演讲稿(中英文)

美国总统奥巴马胜选演讲稿(中英文) 超过10万人4日深夜把美国芝加哥格兰特公园变成狂欢的海洋。当选总统贝拉克奥巴马在这里向支持者宣布:“变革已降临美国。”他在这篇获胜演说中承诺推进“变革”,但呼吁支持者付出耐心,甚至提及连任。 If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible, who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time, who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer. 如果,还有人怀疑美国是一切皆有可能的国度,还有人怀疑国父们的梦想在我们的时代是否还存在,还有人怀疑我们的民主所拥有的力量,那么今晚,你听到了回答。 It’s the answer told by lines that stretched around schools and churches in numbers this nation has never seen, by people who waited three hours and four hours, many for the first time in their lives, because they believed that this time must be different, that their voices could be that difference. 是那些今天在学校和教堂排着长队、数不胜数的选民做出了回答;是那些为了投票等待了三四个小时的人们做出了回答。他们中的很多人,是有生以来第一次投票,因为他们相信,这次真的不同――他们的声音会让这次不同。

奥巴马对全美学生的开学演讲稿

奥巴马面对全美学生的开学演讲: 永远不要放弃自己 小时候,我家在印度尼西亚住过几年,妈妈没钱送我去读书,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,我不喜欢那么早爬起来,经常趴在厨房的桌 子上睡着了。每当我埋怨的时候,母亲便会对我说:“孩子,你以为妈妈教你很轻松吗?” 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、律师或军人?无论你选择哪 一种职业,良好的教育都必不可少,这世上不存在不把书念完就能拿到好工作的美梦,任何 工作,都需要你的汗水、训练与学习。 不仅仅对于你们个人的未来有重要意义,你们的教育如何也会对这个国家、乃至世界的 未来产生重要影响。今天你们在学校中学习的内容,将会决定我们整个国家在未来迎接重大 挑战时的表现。 你们需要在数理科学课程上学习的知识和技能,去治疗癌症、艾滋那样的疾病,和解决 我们面临的能源问题与环境问题;你们需要在历史社科课程上培养出的观察力与判断力,来 减轻和消除无家可归与贫困、犯罪问题和各种歧视,让这个国家变得更加公平和自由;你们 需要在各类课程中逐渐累积和发展出来的创新意识和思维,去创业和建立新的公司与企业, 来制造就业机会和推动经济的增长。 我们需要你们中的每一个人都培养和发展自己的天赋、技能和才智,来解决我们所面对 的最困难的问题。假如你不这么做——假如你放弃学习——那么你不仅是放弃了自己,也是 放弃了你的国家。 当然,我明白,读好书并不总是件容易的事。我知道你们中的许多人在生活中面临着各 种各样的问题,很难把精力集中在专心读书之上。 我知道你们的感受。我父亲在我两岁时就离开了家庭,是母亲一人将我们拉扯大,有时

奥巴马胜选演讲全文

奥巴马胜选演讲全文:为了永远的美国梦 汇通网11月8日讯(美国总统奥巴马于美国当地时间11月6日深夜确认当选后,在芝加哥竞选总部发表了热情洋溢的胜选演讲,演讲全文如下:) 200多年前,美国建国先祖带领人民脱离了奴役,获得了主宰自己命运的自由。如今200年过去了,美国人民仍在为建设一个更美好的合众国而努力着。 而美国在过去200多年间取得的进步和成就,离不开每个人的努力。在建国精神的鼓舞下,美国战胜了历次战争以及萧条的考验,这一精神也使得美国每每在陷入最绝望的谷底时,都能伸开双臂去迎接更多的希望。而每个人都有着追求个人幸福权利的这一信念,也就是所谓的“美国梦”,把所有的美国人团结在了一起,大家风雨同舟,兴衰相依,荣辱与共。 在今天的选举中,美国人民再度用实际行动阐述了一大至理:即使道路暂时坎坷,即使处境仍将艰难,美国人民却不会放弃心中的信念。大家正鼓足勇气,坚持到底,为了迎接美国更好的明天的奋斗不息。 因而,在此要特别感谢所有参与了这场选举的美国民众,尤其是首次参加投票的年轻人,和在寒风中排队数小时,只为投下自己庄重一票的选民。无论选民是把选票投给奥巴马还是罗姆尼,都是发出了自己的一份声音,并参与了改变这个国家未来的进程。 本人刚刚与罗姆尼先生通了电话,并对他和竞选搭档瑞安先生在艰苦的选战中所付出的一切致以了崇高的敬意,并对其虽败犹荣的杰出表现表示由衷的赞赏。尽管选举的过程很激烈,甚至可以说是火星四溅,但大家都是出于对这个国家无比深情的爱才会选择这么去做。罗姆尼家族数代人致力于政治事业,为美国公众谋福利,这正是当下大家最值得景仰和赞赏的一种精神,为此,我打算在未来数周中安排下时间,与罗姆尼先生促膝长谈,以共商如何齐心协力带领美国继续前进这一大计。 我也感谢在过去四年辛苦奉献的搭档拜登先生,他或许是美国有史以来最好的副总统。

And for those of you in kindergarten, or starting middle or high school, it’s your first day in a new school, so it’s understandable if you’re a little nervous. I ima gine there are some seniors out there who are feeling pretty good right now -- (applause) -- with just one more year to go. And no matter what grade you’re in, some of you are probably wishing it were still summer and you could’ve stayed in bed just a litt le bit longer this morning. 我知道,今天是你们很多人开学的日子。对于进入小学预备班、初中或高中的学生,今天是你们来到新学校的第一天,心里可能有点紧张,这是可以理解的。我能想象有些毕业班学生现在感觉很不错——(掌声)——还有一年就毕业了。不论在哪个年级,你们有些人可能希望暑假更长一点,今天早上还能多睡一小会儿。 I know that feeling. When I was young, my family lived overseas. I lived in Indonesia for a few years. And my mother, she didn’t have the money to send me where all the American kids went to school, but she thought it was important for me to keep up with an American education. So she decided to teach me extra lessons

奥巴马就职演讲稿(中英文)

My fellow citizens: 各位同胞: 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. 今天我站在这里,为眼前的重责大任感到谦卑,对各位的信任心怀感激,对先贤的牺牲铭记在心。我要谢谢布什总统为这个国家的服务,也感谢他在政权转移期间的宽厚和配合。 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 forbearers, and true to our founding documents. 四十四位美国人发表过总统就职誓言,这些誓词或是在繁荣富强及和平宁静之际发表,或是在乌云密布,时局动荡之时。在艰困的时候,美国能箕裘相继,不仅因为居高位者有能力或愿景,也因为人民持续对先人的抱负有信心,也忠于创建我国的法统。 So it has been. So it must be with this generation of Americans. 因此,美国才能承继下来。因此,这一代美国人必须承继下去。 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. 现在大家都知道我们正置身危机核心,我国正处于对抗深远暴力和憎恨的战争。我们的经济元气大伤,是某些人贪婪且不负责任的后果,也是大众未能做出艰难的选择,为国家进入新时代做淮备所致。许多人失去房子,丢了工作,生意垮了。我们的医疗照护太昂贵,学校教育辜负了许多人。每天都有更多证据显示,我们利用能源的方式壮大我们的对敌,威胁我们的星球。 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. 这些都是得自资料和统计数据的危机指标。比较无法测量但同样深沉的,是举国信心尽失—持续担心美国将无可避免地衰退,也害怕下一代一定会眼界变低。 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. 今天我要告诉各位,我们面临的挑战是真的,挑战非常严重,且不在少数。它们不是可以轻易,或在短时间内解决。但是,美国要了解,这些挑战会被解决。 On this day, we gather because we have chosen hope over fear, unity of purpose over conflict and discord.

Change Has Come To America If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible, who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time, who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer. 如果,还有人怀疑美国是一切皆有可能的国度,还有人怀疑国父们的梦想在我们的时代是否还存在,还有人怀疑我们的民主所拥有的力量,那么今晚,你听到了回答。 It’s the answer told by lines that stretched around schools and churches in numbers this nation has never seen, by people who waited three hours and four hours, many for the first time in their lives, because they believed that this time must be different, that their voices could be that difference. 是那些今天在学校和教堂排着长队、数不胜数的选民做出了回答;是那些为了投票等待了三四个小时的人们做出了回答。他们中的很多人,是有生以来第一次投票,因为他们相信,这次真的不同――他们的声音会让这次不同。 It’s the answer spoken by young and o ld, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, black, white, Hispanic, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled.

奥巴马开学演讲稿中英文版

奥巴马开学演讲稿中英文版 贝拉克·侯赛因·奥巴马(Barack Hussein Obama),1961年8月4日出生,美国民主党籍政治家,第44任美国总统,为美国历史上第一位非洲裔总统。下面OK了奥巴马开学演讲稿中英文版,供你阅读参考。 我们为什么要上学? 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

奥巴马获胜演讲全文 President-elect Barack Obama smiles as he gives his acceptance speech at Grant Park in Chicago Tuesday night, Nov. 4, 2008. 以下是奥巴马(Barack Obama)竞选总统成功后在芝加哥演讲准备的讲稿: If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible; who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time; who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer. It's the answer told by lines that stretched around schools and churches in numbers this nation has never seen; by people who waited three hours and four hours, many for the very first time in their lives, because they believed that this time must be different; that their voice could be that difference. It's the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, black, white, Latino, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled – Americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been a collection of Red States and Blue States: we are, and always will be, the United States of America. It's the answer that led those who have been told for so long by so many to be cynical, and fearful, and doubtful of what we can achieve to put their hands on the arc of history and bend it once more toward the hope of a better day. It's been a long time coming, but tonight, because of what we did on this day, in this election, at this defining moment, change has come to America. I just received a very gracious call from Senator McCain. He fought long and hard in this campaign, and he's fought even longer and harder for the country he loves. He has endured sacrifices for America that most of us cannot begin to imagine, and we are better off for the service rendered by this brave and selfless leader. I congratulate him and Governor Palin for all they have achieved, and I look forward to working with them to renew this nation's promise in the months ahead. I want to thank my partner in this journey, a man who campaigned from his heart and spoke for the men and women he grew up with on the streets of

英语演讲原文:奥巴马演讲 Filibustering Recovery

奥巴马演讲 Filibustering Recovery Remarks of President Barack Obama Weekly Address The White House July 17, 2010 This week, many of our largest corporations reported robust 1 earnings 2 – a positive sign of growth. But too many of our small business owners and those who aspire 3 to(渴求) start their own small businesses continue to struggle, in part because they can’t get the credit they need to start up, grow, and hire. And too many Americans whose livelihoods 4 (生计,生活) have fallen prey 5 to the worst recession in our lifetimes – a recession that cost our economy eight million jobs –still wonder how they’ll make ends meet(收支相抵,量入为出) . That’s why we need to take new, commonsense 6 (常识的)steps to help small businesses, grow our economy, and create jobs – and we need to take them now. For months, that’s what we’ve been trying to do. But too often, the Republican leadership in the United States Senate chooses to filibuster 7 (掠夺,阻碍) our recovery and obstruct 8 our progress. And that has very real

奥巴马开学演讲稿(全英文)

Hello, everybody! Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, everybody. All right, everybody go ahead and have a seat. How is everybody doing today? (Applause.) How about Tim Spicer? (Applause.) I am here with students at Wakefield High School in Arlington, Virginia. And we’ve got students tuning in from all across America, from kindergarten through 12th grade. And I am just so glad that all could join us today. And I want to thank Wakefield for being such an outstanding host. Give yourselves a big round of applause. (Applause.) I know that for many of you, today is the first day of school. And for those of you in kindergarten, or starting middle or high school, it’s your first day in a new school, so it’s understandable if you’re a little nervous. I imagine there are some seniors out there who are feeling pretty good right now -- (applause) -- with just one more year to go. And no matter what grade you’re in, some of you are probably wishing it were still summer and you could’ve stayed in bed just a little bit longer this morning. I know that feeling. When I was young, my family lived overseas. I lived in Indonesia for a few years. And my mother, she didn’t have the money to send me where all the American kids went to school, but she thought it was important for me to keep up with an American education. So she decided to teach me extra lessons herself, Monday through Friday. But because she had to go to work, the only time she could do it was at 4:30 in the morning. Now, as you might imagine, I wasn’t too happy about getting up that early. And a lot of times, I’d fall asleep right there at the kitchen table. But whenever I’d complain, my mother would just give me one of those looks and she’d say, "This is no picnic for me either, buster." (Laughter.) So I know that some of you are still adjusting to being back at school. But I’m here today because I have something important to discuss with you. I’m here because I want to talk with you about your education and what’s expected of all of you in this new school year. Now, I’ve given a lot of speeches about education. And I’ve talked about responsibility a lot. I’ve talked about teachers’responsibility for inspiring students and pushing you to learn.
