美国总统奥巴马对全美中小学生的讲话

弗吉尼亚州阿灵顿郡韦克菲尔德高中

2009年9月8日

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.)

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 senior s 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 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.

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 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 unless all of you fulfill your responsibilities, unless you show up to those schools, unless you pay attention to those teachers, unless you 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 newspaper -- but you might not know it until you write that English paper -- that English class paper that’s assign ed 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 less than 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 nee d the insight s 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. Yo u’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。

But at the end of the day, the circumstances of your life -- what you look like, where you

come from, how much money you have, what you’ve got going on at home -- none of that is an excuse for neglecting your homework or having a bad attitude in school. That’s no excuse for talking back to your teacher, or cutting class, or dropping out of school. There is no excuse for not trying.

然而说到底，你们生活的环境、你们的肤色、你们的原籍、你们的经济收入、你们家中的境况等等，这一切都不能成为你们不用功或不努力的理由。你们没有理由不服从你们的老师、逃学、或辍学。没有理由不付出努力。

Where you are ri ght now doesn’t have to determine where you’ll end up. No one’s written your destiny for you, because here in America, you write your own destiny. You make your own future.

你们目前的状况并不决定着你们的未来。没有人决定你们的命运，在美国，你们决定自己的命运。你们掌握自己的未来。

That’s what young people like you are doing every day, all across America.

这就是像你们这样的年轻人每天都在做的事情，全美各地都是如此。

Young people like Jazmin Perez, from Roma, Texas. Jazmin didn’t speak English when she first started school. Neither of her parents had gone to college. But she worked hard, earned good grades, and got a scholarship to Brown University -- is now in graduate school, studying public health, on her way to becoming Dr. Jazmin Perez.

来自得州罗马城的贾兹敏?佩雷斯（Jazmin Perez）就是一个例证，她刚开始上学时并不会说英文。她的父母都没有上过大学。然而，她非常勤奋，成绩优秀，获得了布朗大学的奖学金，她如今正在读研究生，攻读公共卫生专业，不久将成为贾兹敏?佩雷斯博士。

I’m thinking about Andoni Schultz, from Los Altos, California, who’s fought brain cancer since he was three. He’s had to

endure all sorts of treatments and surgeries, one of which affected his memory, so it took him much longer -- hundreds of extra hours -- to do his schoolwork. But he never fell behind. He’s headed to college this fall.我想起了加州洛斯阿尔托斯城的安多尼?舒尔茨（Andoni Schultz），他从三岁开始就一直与脑癌进行抗争，他不得不忍受各类治疗和手术带来的痛苦，其中一项手术曾影响了他的记忆，因此他花在功课上的时间比一般人长得多，要多出数百个小时。然而，他从未落后。他今年秋季将迈进大学。

And then there’s Shantell Steve, from my hometown of Chicago, Illinois. Even when bouncing from foster home to foster home in the toughest neighborhoods in the city, she managed to get a job at a local health care center, start a program to keep young people out of gangs, and she’s on track to graduate high school with honors and go on to college. 我还想起家乡伊利诺伊州芝加哥市的尚特尔?史

蒂夫（Shantell Steve）。她曾在芝加哥最困难

的社区生活，寄养于多个不同的家庭，但她最终在一家地方医疗中心找到工作，并开始了一项帮助年轻人远离流氓团伙的计划，她即将以优异成绩从中学毕业，紧接着将上大学。

And Jazmin, Andoni, and Shantell aren’t any different from any of you. They face challenges in their lives just like you do. In some cases they’ve got it a lot worse off than many of you. But they refused to give up. They chose to take responsibility for their lives, for their education, and set goals for themselves. And I expect all of you to do the same.

贾兹敏、安多尼和尚特尔与你们中间的每个人没什么两样。跟你们一样，他们在生活中面临种种挑战。在某些情况下，他们的处境比起你们许多人更差。但他们拒绝放弃。他们决定要为自己的一生、自己的教育负起责任，为自己设定各项奋斗目标。我期待你们大家都会这样做。

That’s why today I’m calling on each of you to set your own goals for your education --

and do everything you can to meet them. Your goal can be something as simple as doing all your homework, paying attention in class, or spending some time each day reading a book. M aybe you’ll decide to get involved in an extracurricular activity, or volunteer in your community. Maybe you’ll decide to stand up for kids who are being teased or bullied because of who they are or how they look, because you believe, like I do, that all young people deserve a safe environment to study and learn. Maybe you’ll decide to take better care of yourself so you can be more ready to learn. And along those lines, by the way, I hope all of you are washing your hands a lot, and that you stay home from school when you don’t feel well, so we can keep people from getting the flu this fall and winter.

因此，我今天呼吁你们每一个人为自己的教育设定目标，并尽自己的最大努力来实现这些目标。你的目标可以是一件十分简单的事情，例如完成

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。

从奥巴马当选看新媒体对美国总统大选的渗透

从奥巴马当选看新媒体对美国总统大选的渗透 发布时间：2008-12-23 14:06:47来源/作者：中国广告网【如何订阅手机报】 一、美国大选中新媒介的初体验 美国总统大选在某种意义上就是一场声势浩大的媒体秀。200多年前的美国大选，林肯只能坐着马车巡回演讲；七八十年前，弗拉克林·罗斯福看中了广播，那个彼时的传媒新宠，以大众传播的方式将其政治主张传散开去；而肯尼迪竞选时期，候选人在电视上面对万千观众发表演说成为了常态。进入到新媒体时代，美国总统候选人纷纷跃然跳上了信息高速公路，奥巴马、希拉里、麦凯恩等先后在网络上安营扎寨，争取利用新媒体为自己创造有利的公共舆论环境，总统候选人的角逐场从白宫新闻发布会、各州巡讲会、电视辩论现场延伸到了web2.0、iphone、SMS（手机短信）、电子游戏等新媒体上。美国总统大选中的现实权力与虚拟空间实现了前所未有的密切接触。 新媒体的互动性是它在这次选举中大行其道的主要原因，和传统大选宣传模式（比如新闻发布会）那样大面积的播送（“推”）信息不同，以互联网为代表的新媒体更看中让选民自己去选择（“拉”）信息，选民的主动性得到更多重视，新媒体的广泛影响力得以有效扩散。如果说在2004年的美国总统选举中，网络仅仅还只是一个“锦上添花”的小配角（当时已有候选人利用网络聚集选民的自发捐款），那么四年后的今天，美国著名网站“在线政治”（PoliticsOnline）主编菲尔?诺贝尔声称，“网络已经成为了如今总统竞选的基

础”。而Google公司CEO埃里克在2006年底也有过类似的预言：“能够发挥互联网全部潜力的候选人，将会在下一次总统大选中脱颖而出。”奥巴马这位美国民主党总统候选人已经改变了历史，这不仅仅是他的黑人身份，还包括了他对新媒体在政治宣传策略上给予的前所未有的重视。奥巴马阵营深谙互联网上崛起的“长尾理论”的妙处，充分发挥了数以百万计的普通网民聚合起来的潜力。 “长尾理论”这一说法由《连线》杂志主编科里斯·安德森(Chris Anderson)于2004年提出。在新的技术环境下，真正有价值的不是那些过去广被追捧的具有权重地位的人群，而是那些极易被人忽视的“小人物”，虽然他们中的每一个个体单独看起来也许是平淡无奇的，但是数量庞大的小人物聚合起来形成的那条“长尾”中，却蕴含着令人意想不到的能量。 美国联邦选举委员会公布的资料显示，奥巴马在2008年1月份收到的3600万美元捐款中，有2800万美元是通过互联网募集到的，其中90％的捐款单笔金额都在100美元以下。传统上，为了争取政治献金的大主顾，候选人班底会更多仰赖竞选集会以及举行募款餐会。而奥巴马得到的这些小额捐款，多半是自发的网上转账，这些数目并不巨大的小捐献，恰恰累积成了奥巴马阵营在新媒体时代的巨大财力支持。美国国会2002年通过一项法案，规定禁止个人捐款者向政党捐出10万美元以上的资金，个人捐款者向总统候选人捐出的每笔助选资金不得超过2300美元。从某种意义上，这一规定限制了大财阀对于美国总统选举的影响力，而为散播在网络空间的草根群落提供了发挥政治潜力的土壤。 二、挖掘新媒体政治渗透的潜力 在Google上输入Barack Obama（巴拉克·奥巴马）作为关键词，可以查询到7120万个相关网页，明显高于Hillary Clinton（希拉里?克林顿)和John McCain(约翰?麦凯恩)，由此可见，奥巴马在网上的人气相较于竞争者更胜一筹。在互联网上，奥巴马可算是“狡兔多窟”，Youtube视频网、MySpace网站以及Flickr网站上面都有奥巴马及其支持者开辟的领地。 奥巴马在利用网络造势宣传上到底有哪些过人招数？ 首先，奥巴马聚拢了一批网络精英助其打造所谓“平民总统”形象。奥巴马的支持者中有相当数量的网络媒介精英，例如奥巴马官方网站（https://www.sodocs.net/doc/7e5885064.html,）建设者之一的史蒂夫?卫斯利，他除了是加利福尼亚州前审计长，还有另一个身份：eBay创始人。奥巴马官方网站虽然是由包括卫斯利在内的网络精英打造，但是其定位却是普罗大众化的，奥巴马官网被设计成了一个支持者的活动中心——只要在网站上注册，

美国总统奥巴马在全美年度教师颁奖典礼上的讲话 718

美国总统奥巴马在全美年度教师颁奖典礼上的讲话 2009年4月30日，新上任的美国总统奥巴马在白宫的玫瑰园举行了全美年度教师颁奖典礼，在这个典礼上，新任总统与新任年度教师的两段致词感动了许多人。 总统先生说：“我和米歇尔都没有令人羡慕的家庭背景，我们能够来到这里的唯一原因，就是在人生的关键时刻，有像托尼，马伦这样的老师将我们引入了正确的方向”。而托尼老师说在得知自己获奖的消息之后，很多记者都问他一个问题，那就是他心目中的好教师究竟是什么样的？ 托尼想了三个词汇，激情，专业和毅力。激情是夺目的光芒，无法让人视而不见，专业是技术保障，毅力是个性品质。但除了这些，托尼认为一定还有一些更重要的东西，所以才有了那段著名的颁奖感言：“真正优秀的教师具有一个重要的品质，那就是能够读懂故事，他知道每一个来到自己跟前的孩子，都有一个独一无二的故事。好老师不仅能够读懂故事，还能够把信心和成功写入孩子的故事，他帮助孩子编辑错误，和孩子一起创作更美的故事”。 以下是原文: 奥巴马总统在文中提到： You know, we've got a lot of teachers here today and I'm a big fan of teachers because every single day in classrooms all across America, you are making a difference. You don't always get the recognition that you deserve. We don't always value the teaching profession like we should. But every once in a while, I think people start to understand not just in their own lives but in the lives of the nation how important the teaching profession is and how we've got to do a better job of lifting it up. In a global economy where the greatest job qualification isn't what you can do but what you know, our teachers are the key to our nation's success; to whether America will lead the world in the discoveries and the innovations and economic prosperity of this new century. And that's why as President I'm committed to doing everything I can to support the work of teachers. That's why we're working to create better standards and assessments that teachers can use in their classroom. That's why we're promoting innovation in teaching and learning, making critical investments in early childhood education, and helping more Americans walk through the door of higher education. And it's why we're taking ground-breaking steps to recruit, prepare, support and reward outstanding teachers -- to encourage our best and brightest young people to follow in the footsteps of folks just like you. This is especially critical right now, as so many teachers from the baby boom generation are preparing to retire -- although they all look pretty young back here -- (laughter) -- we're not worried about that. And recent evaluations of student performance show that while we're making progress, we still have a long way to go. I know personally, Michelle knows that what teachers do is not easy. My sister, Maya, is a

(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。

美国总统奥巴马2014父亲节致辞 (2)

美国总统奥巴马2014父亲节致辞 简介：上周日是父亲节，美国总统奥巴马发表电视讲话，谈当爸爸这项重要又艰巨的工作。美国总统心中怎样的爸爸才够称职？我们一起来听听吧！ Hi, everybody. Sunday is Father's Day. If you haven't got Dad a gift yet, there's still time. Just barely. But the truth is, what we give our fathers can never match what our fathers give us. I know how important it is to have a dad in your life, because I grew up without my father around. I felt the weight of his absence. So for Michelle and our girls, I try every day to be the husband and father my family didn't have when I was young. And every chance I get, I encourage fathers to get more involved in their children's lives, because what makes you a man isn't the ability to have a child – it's the courage to raise one. Still, over the past couple years, I've met with a lot of young people who don't have a father figure around. And while there's nothing that can replace a parent, any of us can do our part to be a mentor, a sounding board, a role model for a kid who needs one. Earlier this year, I launched an initiative called My Brother's Keeper – an all-hands-on-deck effort to help more of our young men reach their full potential. And if you want to be a mentor to a young man in your community, you can find out how at https://www.sodocs.net/doc/7e5885064.html,/My Brothers Keeper. Now, when I launched this initiative, I said that government can't play the primary role in a young person's life. Taking responsibility for being a great parent or mentor is a choice that we, as individuals, have to make. No government program can ever take the place of a parent's love. Still, as a country, there are ways we can help support dads and moms who make that choice. That's why, earlier this week, we brought working dads from across America to the White House to talk about the challenges they face. And in a few weeks, I'll hold the first-ever White House Working Families Summit. We've still got too many workplace policies that belong in the 1950s, and it's time to bring them up to date for today's families, where oftentimes, both parents are working. Moms and dads deserve affordable child care, and time off to care for a sick parent or child without running into hardship. Women deserve equal pay for equal work –and at a time when more women are breadwinners for a family, that benefits men, too. And because no parent who works full-time should have to raise a family in poverty, it's time for Congress to follow the lead of state after

奥巴马当选美国新总统后发表的演讲全文

（奥巴马当选美国新总统后发表的演讲全文）如果还有人对美国是否凡事都有可能存疑，还有人怀疑美国奠基者的梦想在我们所处的时代是否依然鲜活，还有人质疑我们的民主制度的力量，那么今晚，这些问题都有了答案。 这是设在学校和教堂的投票站前排起的前所未见的长队给出的答案；是等了三四个小时的选民所给出的答案，其中许多人都是有生以来第一次投票，因为他们认定这一次肯定会不一样，认为自己的声音会是这次大选有别于以往之所在。 这是所有美国人民共同给出的答案——无论老少贫富，无论是民主党还是共和党，无论是黑人、白人、拉美裔、亚裔、原住民，是同性恋者还是异性恋者、残疾人还是健全人——我们从来不是“红州”和“蓝州”的对立阵营，我们是美利坚合众国这个整体，永远都是。 长久以来，很多人一再受到告诫，要对我们所能取得的成绩极尽讽刺、担忧和怀疑之能事，但这个答案让这些人伸出手来把握历史，再次让它朝向美好明天的希望延伸。 已经过去了这么长时间，但今晚，由于我们在今天、在这场大选中、在这个具有决定性的时刻所做的，

美国已经迎来了变革。 我刚刚接到了麦凯恩参议员极具风度的致电。他在这场大选中经过了长时间的努力奋斗，而他为自己所深爱的这个国家奋斗的时间更长、过程更艰辛。他为美国做出了我们大多数人难以想像的牺牲，我们的生活也因这位勇敢无私的领袖所做出的贡献而变得更美好。我向他和佩林州长所取得的成绩表示祝贺，我也期待着与他们一起在未来的岁月中为复兴这个国家的希望而共同努力。 我要感谢我在这次旅程中的伙伴——已当选美国副总统的拜登。他全心参与竞选活动，为普通民众代言，他们是他在斯克兰顿从小到大的伙伴，也是在他回特拉华的火车上遇到的男男女女。 如果没有一个人的坚决支持，我今晚就不会站在这里，她是我过去16年来最好的朋友、是我们一家人的中坚和我一生的挚爱，更是我们国家的下一位第一夫人：米歇尔·奥巴马(Michelle Obama)。萨莎(Sasha)和玛丽亚(Malia)，我太爱你们两个了，你们已经得到了一条新的小狗，它将与我们一起入驻白宫。虽然我的外祖母已经不在了，但我知道她与我的亲人肯定都在看着我，因为他们，我才能拥有今天的成就。今晚，我想念他们，我知道自己欠他们的无可

Thank you so much. 谢谢，非常感谢各位。 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. 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 sof hope. The belief that while each of us will pursue our own indivual dreams, we are an American family and we rise or fall together as one nation and as one people. 今晚，是在一个曾经的殖民地在赢得自己主权200多年之后，我们来到这里，不断前行，这主要是因为你们坚信这个国家能够实现永恒的希望，实现移民的梦想。每一个人都可以独立的争取自己的未来，我们将会作为一个国家共同起落。 Tonight in this election, you, the American people, remind us 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 the united states of America the best is yet to come. 今晚，在选举的过程当中，你们——美国的人民，让我们记得我们的道路是非常艰辛的，我们的道路是漫长的，我们重新站了起来，我们也从内心知道，美国还没有迎来最好的时代。 [cheering] I want to thank every American who participated in this election [CHEERING] Whether you voted for the very first time or waiting in line for a very long time. By the way, we need to fix that. Whether you pounded the pavement or picked up the phone. Whether you held an Obama sign or a Romney sign, you mad your voice heard. And you made a difference. I just got off the phone with Governor Romney and I congratulated him and Paul Ryan on a hard-fought campaign. 我想要感谢每一个参与选举的美国人。无论你们是第一次投票，还是(排队)等了很长的时间才投上一票——顺便说一下我会解决这个问题。无论你是自己上门投的票，还是打投的票；无论你是投给奥巴马的人，还是投给罗姆尼的人，你都是为我们国家带来变的力量。我刚刚同罗姆尼通过，我祝贺他们这次竞选所取得的成绩。 [CHEERING] We may have fought fiercely, but it’s only because we love this country deeply. And we care so stronly about its future.

奥巴马竞选美国总统的网络营销策略

奥巴马竞选美国总统的网络营销策略 在一年前，如果有人告诉你：“我要在互联网通过网络营销来竞选美国总统。”，你一定会大笑，并断定此人是个“疯子”，随即将之当成笑话，觉得这是不可能的神话。 但是，一年后的今天，这个神话的缔造者来到了中国，他不是“神”，他是信“神”的美国总统奥巴马，一个可能在一年前被你认为是“疯子”的人，一个被称之为“互联网”总统的奥巴马。他是一位真正的互联网网络营销大师，他来到了我们的“家门口”。 “谁能顺应时代潮流，谁就能把握历史的命运。”这句话在美国总统奥巴马身上得到完美的体现，回顾总统竞选历程，在21世纪这个互联网网络盛行的年代，奥巴马总统顺应了互联网网络营销的潮流，顺应了时代的发展，才成就了历史，创造了奇迹。 那么，今天就让我们在家门口，一起来向奥巴马学习如何成功竞选总统的网络营销策略： 方法一：开发网站，这是网络营销的第一步，也是关键的一步。奥巴马竞选总统网站开发的费用约占到网络营销总费用的27%，这里不仅有奥巴马团队自建的竞选官方网站、官方博客，其团队更在各大门户网站开通奥巴马个人主页及竞选专栏，奥巴马团队还开设反诽谤网站，运用英特网技术反击谣言以提升形象、传播竞选动态，让支持者第一时间能了解竞选进程，并快速做出反应，奥巴马通过这些网站，迅速积累自己的支持团队——奥巴马仅在Facebook就拥有一个包含230万拥护者的群组。同时不同网站发挥着不一样但同样关键的作用，如https://www.sodocs.net/doc/7e5885064.html,是奥巴马团队在美国大选期间使用的网站，该网站有200万注册用户，有1300万用户订阅了该网站的通讯服务，奥巴马阵营获得的7.5亿捐款有一半来自该网站，该网站目前仍在运营。 可以看出网站在奥巴马竞选总统的过程中发挥着极其重要的作用，通过不同类型但同样重要的网站，奥巴马不仅聚集了人气，更是名利双收。网站能做到快速、直接、准确、有效的信息传播，它的时效性快

2012美国总统大选奥巴马胜选演讲(演讲稿)

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you so much. 谢谢，非常感谢。 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. 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。 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. 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。 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. 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。 I want to thank every American who participated in this election. Whether you voted for the very first time or waited in line for a very long time – by the way, we have to fix that whether you pounded the pavement or picked up the phone, whether you held an Obama sign or a Romney sign, you made your voice heard and you made a difference. 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。 I just spoke with Governor Romney and I congratulated him and Paul Ryan on a hard-fought campaign. 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. 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. 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。

奥巴马当选美国总统的原因

奥巴马当选美国总统的原因 巴拉克?奥巴马当选了美国总统。这次选举投票结果一边倒。在美国的民主制度中，总统和国会议员由选民直接选举产生。 这次选举的结果是一个重要的历史事件，因为这是第一次有一个非洲裔美国人当选，这个结果在一年前几乎没有美国人预料得到。它有两个意义：首先，大多数美国人民都愿意选择一个非洲裔总统，说明种族偏见有所下降；第二，更重要的是，奥巴马是一个政治天才。要不是他，没有其他黑人可能当选。他很年轻，涉足政治只有很短的一段时间。他有过三年参议员的经验，在此之前只做过伊利诺伊州的参议员。在民主党挑选总统候选人的初选阶段，参议员希拉里?克林顿几乎是胜券在握，因为她是一个非常知名的参议员、前第一夫人，而且在民主党内有强大的政治权力基础。但没什么来头的奥巴马在选举中赢得一个又一个州。经过激烈的竞争，奥巴马在9月正式成为民主党总统候选人。 他成为民主党总统候选人后，有几个因素促成他成功当选总统。 首先是经济危机。统计研究表明，经济条件是影响总统大选结果的一个重要的决定因素。良好的经济条件有利于现任总统连任或与他同党派的候选人当选；经济条件不好时，在野党的候选人会当选。现在金融危机当前，经济条件非常恶劣，我在以前的文章中对此有充分论述。 第二，布什是美国多年来最不受欢迎的总统，选民对他的总统功绩满意的比例还不到30%。除了经济形势不好，另一个重要原因是他在伊拉克战争问题上的处理不当。而奥巴马从一开始就反对伊拉克战争，并宣布，如果当选将尽快撤回大部分军队，因而深得人心。他获胜的一个战略是，把他的对手麦凯恩与布什的失败政策联系在一起。而麦凯恩只是采取消极战略，告诉选民奥巴马经验不足。 奥巴马的经济政策受到有名的保守经济学家的批评，主要有两个理由：第一，他倾向于对收入较高的人收重税，对低收入家庭则实行较低的税率。

奥巴马总统9月8日开学演讲(中英文对照)

奥巴马总统9月8日开学演讲（中英对照） 早晨偶然在报纸上看到了9月8日美国开学日的时候,奥巴马总统给全国从幼儿园到高中生做的一个开学演讲,非常感动.想把这个东西与大家分享一下，于是上网找到了中英文全文两个版本.我对照了一下,翻译得基本上做到了信、达、雅。奥巴马总统讲演的风格很口语化,讲道理深入浅出,很有感染力. 论坛里的朋友相信有很多都是已经为人父母了,我的孩子上周也进入小学一年级,踏上了漫长的求学之路.如何教育孩子,激励孩子,可能是每个家长最头痛的问题.我建议你亲自给你的孩子读一下这篇讲演,跟他(她)讨论一下,让孩子理解一下他(她)身上所承担的对自己,对国家的责任. 发这个贴之前,踌躇再三,毕竟讲教育的主题跟股市的主旨有些不合,但我觉得从投资角度而言,教育上面花费的时间、精力，金钱的投资,不管是投向自己,还是孩子,都是我们一生中所能做出的最好的,永远都不会后悔的投资选择之一．毕竟，一个更好的未来，一个更强大的国家，一个更美，更和谐的世界愿景都要依靠我们的孩子们去实现． 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。

美国总统奥巴马第一次就职演说

My fellow citizens: 我的同胞们： 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，看到眼前面临的重大任务，深感卑微。我感谢你们对我的信任，也知道先辈们为了这个国家所作的牺牲。我要感谢布什总统为国家做出的贡献，以及感谢他在两届政府过渡期间给与的慷慨协作。 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. 迄今为止，已经有44个美国总统宣誓就职。总统的宣誓有时面对的是国家的和平繁荣，但通常面临的是乌云密布的紧张形势。在紧张的形势中，支持美国前进的不仅仅是领导人的能力和远见，也在于美国人民对国家先驱者理想的信仰，以及对美国立国文件的忠诚。 So it has been. So it must be with this generation of Americans. 前辈们如此，我们这一代美国人也要如此。 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 healthcare 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. 现在我们都深知，我们身处危机之中。我们的国家在战斗，对手是影响深远的暴力和憎恨；国家的经济也受到严重的削弱，原因虽有一些人的贪婪和不负责任，但更为重要的是我们作为一个整体在一些重大问题上决策失误，同时也未能做好应对新时代的准备。我们的人

奥巴马竞选美国总统英语演讲稿

奥巴马竞选美国总统英语演讲稿 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
