奥巴马演讲全文

以下为奥巴马演讲全文：

谢谢，非常感谢。

200多年前，美国第一个殖民地掌握了自己的命运，开始了这个国家的前进之旅。

美国的前进都是因为你们。因为你们不断重申那种帮助我们在过去战胜了战事及经济颓势的精神。这种精神将我们的国家拖出绝望的深渊，将其推向希望的彼岸。我们始终相信：每一个人都可以追求自己的梦想；美国是一个大家庭；团结起来我们就能胜利，分裂只能导致我们失败。

今夜，在这场选举中，你们提醒我们：尽管我们的道路漫长而艰巨，但是我们已经重塑信心，予以反击。我们在内心中深深的知道最棒的美国将要来临。

我想感谢每一位参与选举的美国民众。不管你是从第一天就投票了，还是一直等待了很长的时间才投的票（当然了，我们要解决这个排队投票的问题）；不管你是自己去投票点投的票，还是打电话投的票；不管你是投了给我，还是投给罗姆尼；你的声音都被大家听到了，并且你对我们国家做出了某些改变。

刚刚我跟罗姆尼通了电话，我祝贺他和保罗在这个艰苦卓绝的战役中所取得的胜利。我们这场战役十分激烈，但是这正是因为我们深爱着这个国家，并且我们十分在意它的未来。罗姆尼的整个家庭，孙子辈，孩子辈，都通过公共服

务在支持着美国。我们应该在今晚对这种精神表示尊敬和赞扬。未来这几周我也希望和罗姆尼一起来讨论怎样使我们的国家不断前进。

我要感谢我过去四年的朋友和搭档——美国的快乐战士、美国历史上最好的副总统：乔-拜登。

当然，如果没有20年前跟我结婚的妻子，今天我就不会站在这里。我要跟大家说，米歇尔，我比以前更加爱你，我更加自豪，因为我看到全国人民也十分热爱你这位第一夫人，我感到十分自豪。

萨沙，玛利亚，在我们大家的眼里，你们一天天在成长，如今已经出落成了像你们妈妈一样坚强、美丽、有才华的年轻人，我也为你们感到骄傲。

但是目前我觉得给你们养一条宠物狗就够了。我还要感谢我的竞选团队和志愿者，你们是历史上最棒的。你们当中有的人是新来的，有的人从一开始就一直伴我左右。你们都是我的家人。不管你们做了什么，不管你们来自哪里，你们一定会记得今天晚上我们所创的历史。你们会一直记得有一个总统，他一直心怀感激。谢谢你们一路以来对我的相信，不管我们路上遇到的是山峦还是低谷，是你们让我坚持了下来。你们所做的一切我都心怀感激，并将永远鸣谢。

我知道政治竞选有时候看起来可能很琐碎，甚至愚蠢。不

少批评家借此攻击政治不过是利益集团冲突或是用来自我炫耀。但要是你们真有机会，去和参加竞选集会的人们聊一聊，去和体育场排队投票的选民聊一聊，或是亲眼看一看那些远离家人彻夜工作的志愿者们，你们的印象定会有所改观。

一个大学生竞选活动组织者，话语满是坚韧决心，他付出艰辛努力读完大学，而现在希望每一个孩子都能享有和他一样的机会。一名志愿者，言辞中藏不住骄傲，她挨家挨户助选拉票只因哥哥终于找到工作，附近的汽车厂增加了班次给了他机会。

一名军嫂谈话中洋溢着爱国之情，她为助选打电话直到深夜，只是为了确保那些曾经为国家抛头颅撒洒血的军人回家之后，无需再为一份工作，一个住处，再次走上“战场”。

这才是我们行动的理由。这才是政治的真谛。这才是大选如此重要的原因。选举绝不渺小，它至关重要，举足轻重。在一个拥有3亿国民的国家，民主有时候会有些吵闹、混乱和繁复。只因我们每个人都有自己的主张，都有深信的信仰。当我们经历艰难时刻，当我们要作为一个国家做出重大决定，自然会有争议，会有情感的表达。这不会在一夜之间改变，也不应改变。这些争论正是我们自由的明证。我们绝不应忘记，就在此时此刻，在遥远的国度无数人正为这“争论”的权利舍身赴险，他们想要的正是像我们这样投票的权利。

尽管我们有许多不同，但我们中的大多数对美国的未来却有

着共同的期望。

我们期望在这个国家，孩子们能上最好的学校，有最好的老师，我们期望这个国家能继承她的光荣传统，在技术和创新领域培养世界范围的领导者。而这些将伴随着好工作，新生意。

我们绝不希望孩子们未来生活在一个受困于债务、不平等以及气候变暖的美国。我们希望传承的是一个安全而备受尊重的美国。这个国家拥有世界上有史以来最强大的军事力量，但同样也有信心为这个战乱时代带来和平，许诺为每一个人带去自由和尊严。

我们相信美国应该是一个慷慨、富有同情心而包容的国家，欢迎每一个心怀梦想的移民。不管是在我们的学校接受教育对我们的国旗宣誓效忠的移民儿女，还是梦想改变自己命运的街头男孩，亦或是希望成为医生、科学家、企业家、外交官或者美国总统的木匠家孩子。

这才是我们想要的未来。这才是我们共同的愿景。这才是我们前进的方向。

然而关于如何完成这段旅程我们时常产生分歧，甚至会激烈冲突。正如两百年来的历史，这一过程并非一蹴而就，更不是一帆风顺。怀有共同的希望和梦想并不能解决全部问题和僵局，也不能代替国家前进所需要的艰苦工作——建立共识，作出妥协。

但是这些共识是我们的起点。经济正在逐渐恢复，十年战争也正要告一段落，漫长的竞选也将走到终点。不管你是否曾投票与我，我都愿意聆听你们的声音。我从你们身上受益良多，是你们让我成为更好的总统。正是因为你们奋斗和故事，我才能满怀对未来工作的坚定决心和振奋之情，重回白宫。今晚不同与往常，你们并不是为政治而投票，你们是在为改革与实际行动而投票。你们的选票意味着给予机会让政府为你们的工作岗位而服务，而非为政府自身服务。而在未来的日子里，我期待着与两党领袖共同应对挑战，解决难题——努力减少赤字，改革税收制度，完善移民政策，减轻对石油进口的依赖……还有许多难题在我们面前。但你们的职责也还未完成。在美国民主制度之下，身为一个公民的职责并不单纯意味着为选举而投票。而对此，公民职责并不在于“美国能为我做什么”，而是在于“我能为美国做什么”，在于如何齐心协力战胜困难和挫折，服务自我。这也正是美国的思想根基。美国是全球拥有最多财富的国家，但这并不是美国人民富有的真正原因。我们拥有最强大的军队，但这并不是我们强壮的真正原因。我们拥有最优秀的高等教育和文化成果，但这并不是吸引世界各国人民涌向美国的真正原因。美国之所以与众不同，是因为能够包容多元化的纽带将我们联系在一起，是因为我们相信彼此拥有共同的命运，是因为我们相信，只有为他人付出，互相帮助才能实现国家的进步，

才能为后代创造更美好的未来。前人曾为自由奋斗甚至是献出生命，而只有责任与权利的结合，只有爱、宽容、责任感及爱国之情能使我们更好地实现、维护这份来之不易的自由。这才是美国的伟大之处。

在今晚，我的内心充满希望，因为我见证了美国的这一种精神。我看到商人们宁可给自己减薪也绝不解雇员工，我看到工人们宁可减短工时也绝不让同事下岗。还有那些在战事中接受截肢后仍然坚持延长服役的士兵们，还有那些因拥有同伴的支持而义无反顾冲向黑暗与危险的海豹突击队战士们，还有那些放下成见与分歧为桑迪飓风救灾重建而忙碌在东海岸的领袖们——我在他们身上看到了美国的精神。

不仅如此，我还记得俄亥俄州一位为了给8岁女儿治疗白血病而倾尽所有的父亲，全赖医疗改革使得他能够获得医疗保险的援助。我曾经与这位父亲交谈，还有幸去看望了这位

8岁的小女孩。当这位父亲向人们叙述着与病魔斗争的故事，已为人父母的在场观众都湿了眼眶——因为我们都知道，他的女儿也可能是我们自己的女儿。而我确信，每位父母都真心祝福着这个小女孩能够拥有明媚的未来，美国因此而自豪。而作为美国总统，我为这个国家自豪。

尽管我们历尽艰辛，尽管我们的政府并不完美，但此时此刻，对于未来，对于美国，我的内心却从未如此充满希冀——而在此我请求你们坚守住这份希冀。这一份希冀并不是盲

目乐观，并不是无视艰难，并不是逃避责任。我也并不想鼓吹过度的理想主义，并不是鼓励无动于衷或是一味逃避。我一向坚信，只有守住这份希望，美国才能有勇气向前迈进，全力奋斗。

我坚信，美国能够继续巩固自我，争取更多的工作岗位和机遇，让中产阶级的生活状况得到改善。我坚信，我们能够延续伟大的前人们的承诺——无论你是谁，无论你来自哪里，无论你拥有什么肤色，只要努力奋斗便能够实现自我，无论你是黑人或是白人、西班牙裔、亚裔或是印第安人，无论年少或年长，无论贫穷或富有，无论健全或残疾，无论是同性恋或是非同性恋——只要你愿意去尝试，你就能够实现自我。我坚信，美国人民仍然把握着自己的未来，即使政见分歧严重，我们仍然拥有共同的心愿，我们并没有在冷嘲热讽中失去希望。美国并不只是个人雄心壮志的简单总和，美国并不只是民主党和共和党两个阵营的简单总和。我们现在是，并将在未来永远都是美利坚合众国。

而在此，在你们的辛勤付出之下，我们将继续前行并告诉世界为何美利坚合众国是最伟大的国家。感谢你们！

(完美精华版)奥巴马演讲中英文对照

On this Memorial Day, as our nation honors its unbroken line of fallen heroes, our sense of patriotism is particularly strong. Because while we gather here under open skies, we know that far beyond the Organ Mountains – in the streets of Baghdad, and the outskirts of Kabul – America's sons and daughters are sacrificing on our behalf. And our thoughts and prayers are with them. I speak to you today with deep humility. My grandfather marched in Patton's Army, but I cannot know what it is to walk into battle like so many of you. My grandmother worked on a bomber assembly line, but I cannot know what it is for a family to sacrifice like so many of yours have. I am the father of two young girls, and I cannot imagine what it is to lose a child. My heart breaks for the families who've lost a loved one. These are things I cannot know. But there are also some things I do know. I know that our sadness today is mixed with pride; that those we've lost will be remembered by a grateful nation; and that our presence here today is only possible because your loved ones, America's patriots, were willing to give their lives to defend our nation. I know that while we may come from different places, cherish different traditions, and have different political beliefs, we all –every one of us – hold in reverence those who've given this country the full measure of their devotion. And I know that children in New Mexico and across this country look to your children, to your brothers and sisters, mothers and fathers, and friends –to those we honor today –as a shining example of what's best about America. Their lives are a model for us all. What led these men and women to wear their country's uniform? What is it that leads anyone to put aside their own pursuit of life's comforts; to subordinate their own sense of survival, for something bigger – something greater? Many of those we honor today were so young when they were killed. They had a whole life ahead of them – birthdays and weddings, holidays with children and grandchildren, homes and jobs and happiness of their own. And yet, at one moment or another, they felt the tug, just as generations of Americans did before them. Maybe it was a massacre in a Boston square; or a President's call to save the Union and free the slaves. Maybe it was the day of infamy that awakened a nation to a storm in the Pacific and a madman's death march across Europe. Or maybe it was the morning they woke up to see our walls of security crumble along with our two largest towers. Whatever the moment was, when it came and they felt that tug, perhaps it was simply the thought of a mom or a dad, a husband or a wife, or a child not yet born that made this young American think that it was time to go; that made them think "I must serve so that the people I love can live –in happiness, and safety, and freedom."

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。

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

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。

(整理)奥巴马就职演讲全文.

美国东部时间1月20日中午12时左右，美国第44任总统贝拉克-奥巴马发表就职演说，全文如下：各位同胞： 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。 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，也忠於创建我国的法统。 因此，美国才能承继下来。因此，这一代美国人也必须承继下去。 现在大家都知道我们正置身危机核心，我国正在与四处蔓延的暴力和憎恨作战。我们的经济元气大伤——这既是某些人贪婪且不负责任的後果，也是大众未能做出艰难的选择，对国家进入新时代做准备不足所致。许多人失去房子，丢了工作，生意萧条。我们的医疗太昂贵，学校教育让人失望。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。 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。 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。 在这一天，我们聚在一起，因为我们选择希望而非恐惧，有意义的团结而非纷争和不合。

在这一天，我们来此宣示，那些无用的抱怨和虚伪的承诺已终结，那些扭曲我们政治已久的相互指控和陈旧教条已终结。 我们仍是个年轻的国家，但借用圣经的话，摆脱幼稚事物的时刻到来了，重申我们坚忍精神的时刻到来了，选择我们更好的历史，实践那种代代传承的珍贵权利，那种高贵的理念：就是上帝的应许，我们每个人都是平等的，每个人都是自由的，每个人都应该有机会追求全然的幸福。 再次肯定我们国家的伟大，我们了解伟大绝非赐予而来，必须努力达成。我们的旅程从来就不是抄捷径或很容易就满足。这条路一直都不是给不勇敢的人走的，那些偏好逸乐胜过工作，或者只想追求名利就满足的人。恰恰相反，走这条路的始终是勇於冒险的人，做事的人，成事的人，其中有些人很出名，但更常见的是在各自岗位上的男男女女无名英雄，在这条漫长崎岖的道路上支撑我们，迈向繁荣与自由。 为了我们，他们携带很少的家当，远渡重洋，追寻新生活。 为了我们，他们胼手胝足，在西部安顿下来；忍受风吹雨打，筚路蓝缕。 为了我们，他们奋斗不懈，在康科特和盖茨堡，诺曼地和溪山等地葬身。 前人不断的奋斗与牺牲，直到双手皮开肉绽，我们才能享有比较好的生活。他们将美国视为大於所有个人企图心总和的整体，超越出身、财富或小圈圈的差异。 这是我们今天继续前进的旅程。我们仍旧是全球最繁荣强盛的国家。这场危机爆发时，我们的劳工生产力并未减弱。我们的心智一样创新，我们的产品和劳务和上周或上个月或去年相比，一样是必需品。我们的能力并未减损。但是我们墨守成规、维护狭小利益、推迟引人不悦的决定，这段时期肯定已经过去。从今天起，我们必须重新出发、再次展开再造美国的工程。

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.

奥巴马演讲中英文对照版

奥巴马演讲中英文对照版 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 Arlin gton, 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.) 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。 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，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。 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. 我可以理解这份心情。小时候，我们家在大洋彼岸——我们在印度尼西亚住过几年。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。 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 co mplain, my mother would just give me one of those looks and she’d say, "This is no picnic for me either, buster." (Laughter.) 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?” So I know that some of you are still adjusting to b eing 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. 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。 Now, I’ve given a lot of speeches about education. And I’ve talked about responsibility a lot. 我做过许多关于教育的讲话，也常常用到“责任”这个词。 I’ve talked about teachers’ responsibility for inspiring students and pushing yo u to learn. 我谈到过教师们有责任激励和启迪你们，督促你们学习。 I’ve talked about your parents’ responsibility for making 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。

奥巴马广岛演讲全文

Seventy-one years ago, on a bright cloudless morning, death fell from the sky and the world was changed. A flash of light and a wall of fire destroyed a city and demonstrated that mankind possessed the means to destroy itself. Why do we come to this place, to Hiroshima? We come to ponder a terrible force unleashed in the not so distant past. We come to mourn the dead, including over 100,000 Japanese men, women and children, thousands of Koreans and a dozen Americans held prisoner. Their souls speak to us. They ask us to look inward, to take stock of who we are and what we might become. It is not the fact of war that sets Hiroshima apart. Artifacts tell us that violent conflict appeared with the very first man. Our early ancestors, having learned to make blades from flint and spears from wood, used these tools not just for hunting but against their own kind. On every continent the history of civilization is filled with war, whether driven by scarcity of grain or hunger for gold, compelled by nationalist fervor or religious zeal. Empires have risen and fallen, peoples have been subjugated and liberated, and at each juncture innocents have suffered -- a countless toll, their names forgotten by time. The World War that reached its brutal end in Hiroshima and Nagasaki was fought among the wealthiest and most powerful of nations. Their civilizations had given the world great cities and magnificent art. Their thinkers had advanced ideas of justice and harmony and truth, and yet the war grew out of the same base instinct for domination or conquest that had caused conflicts among the simplest tribes, an old pattern amplified by new capabilities and without new constraints. In the span of a few years some 60 million people would die: men, women, children -- no different than us, shot, beaten, marched, bombed, jailed, starved, gassed to death. There are many sites around the world that chronicle this war -- memorials that tell stories of courage and heroism, graves and empty camps that echo of unspeakable depravity. Yet in the image of a mushroom cloud that rose into these skies, we are most starkly reminded of humanity’s core contradiction -- how the very spark that marks us as a species, our thoughts, our imagination, our language, our tool making, our ability to set ourselves apart from nature and bend it to our will -- those very things also give us the capacity for unmatched destruction.

2012Obama'svictory speech奥巴马胜选演讲稿中英文2012

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you so much. (Sustained cheers, applause.) Tonight, more than 200 years after a former colony won the right to determine its own destiny, the task of perfecting our union moves forward. (Cheers, applause.) It moves forward because of you. It moves forward because you reaffirmed the spirit that has triumphed over war and depression, the spirit that has lifted this country from the depths of despair to the great heights of hope, the belief that while each of us will pursue our own individual dreams, we are an American family, and we rise or fall together as one nation and as one people. (Cheers, applause.) Tonight, in this election, you, the American people, reminded us that while our road has been hard, while our journey has been long, we have picked ourselves up, we have fought our way back, and we know in our hearts that for the United States of America, the best is yet to come. (Cheers, applause.) I want to thank every American who participated in this election. (Cheers, applause.) Whether you voted for the very first time (cheers) or waited in line for a very long time (cheers) – by the way, we have to fix that – (cheers, applause) – whether you pounded the pavement or picked up the phone (cheers, applause), whether you held an Obama sign or a Romney sign, you made your voice heard and y ou made a difference. (Cheers, applause.) I just spoke with Governor Romney and I congratulated him and Paul Ryan on a hard-fought campaign. (Cheers, applause.) We may have battled fiercely, but it's only because we love this country deeply and we care so strongly about its future. From George to Lenore to their son Mitt, the Romney family has chosen to give back to America through public service. And that is a legacy that we honour and applaud tonight. (Cheers, applause.) In the weeks ahead, I also look forward to sitting down with Governor Romney to talk about where we can work together to move this country forward. (Cheers, applause.) I want to thank my friend and partner of the last four years, America's happy warrior, the best vice-president anybody could ever hope for, Joe Biden. (Cheers, applause.) And I wouldn't be the man I am today without the woman who agreed to marry me 20 years ago. (Cheers, applause.) Let me say this publicly. Michelle, I have never loved you more. (Cheers, applause.) I have never been prouder to watch the rest of America fall in love with you too as our nation's first lady. (Cheers, applause.) Sasha and Malia –(cheers, applause) –before our very eyes, you're growing up to become two strong, smart, beautiful young women, just l ike your mom. (Cheers, applause.) And I am so proud of you guys. But I will say that, for now, one dog's probably enough. (Laughter.)
