篇一:《奥巴马开学演讲稿(中文版)》
总统:嗨,大家好!谢谢你。谢谢你。谢谢你,每一个人。好吧,每个人都走在前面,有一个座位。大家都今天要做什么?(喝彩).蒂姆Spicer怎么样?(喝彩).我在这里用学生高中胜在阿林顿国家公墓,维吉尼亚。而且我们有学生在美国所有的调整,从幼儿园到12th品位。我只是很高兴能加入我们今天所有。我要感谢长得这么一个优秀的主人。给你们自己热烈的掌声。(喝彩).
我知道你们中的很多,今天是开学的第一天。对于那些你在幼儿园,还是开始中学或大学,今天是你第一天在一所新学校,所以它是可以理解的,如果你是一个有些紧张。我想有一些老年人有心情不错,现在是-(掌声)-只有一年多的时间去。无论你是几年级,你们中有些人可能希望它还是夏天,你可能已经躺在床上只是一点点时间今天早上。
我知道那种感觉。当我年轻的时候,我的家人住在国外。我在印度尼西亚呆过几年。和我的妈妈,她没钱给我,在那里所有的美国孩子上学了,但是她认为这件事很重要,我赶上美国教育。所以她决定要教我额外的课程,她从星期一到星期五。但是因为她不得不去工作,只有一次,她所能做的就是在4:30在早上。
现在,正如你所能想象的,我还不太满意,早期起床。还有许多的时候,我就会睡着了的权利,有在厨房的桌子旁。但每当我抱怨,我妈妈会给我那些看起来,她会说,“这可不是闹着玩的,我不是克星。”(笑声)。)
所以我知道你们中的一些人还在调整回学校了。但我今天在这里,因为我有重要的事情要和你商量。我在这里,因为我想跟你谈谈你的教育,什么是你们所有人的期望在这个新学年。
现在,我已经给了很多关于教育的讲话。和我谈过很多责任。 我一直在谈论有关教师负责鼓励学生和推动你去学习。
我谈过你父母的责任,确保你呆在赛道上,,你就做你的功课,不要把醒着的每时每刻或在电视机前有更大的。
我谈了很多关于你的政府责任为背景的高标准,及与之相配套的教师和校长,转身不奏效,学校,学生没有得到机会,他们应得的报应。
但在一天结束的时候,我们可以拥有最勇于奉献的教师,最支持的家长,最好的学校,也没有一个世界——它将发挥重要的作用,但除非你所有的问题将承担起你的责任,除非你出现,这些学校,除非你注意到这些教师,除非你听你的父母和祖父母和其他成年人和放在努力工作要成功。这正是我想把重心集中在今天:你们每一个人都有责任为你所受的教育吧。 我想开始负责你自己。每一个你有什么你擅长的。每一个你有东西给你。你有责任去你自己发现那是什么。这是一个教育能提供的机会。 也许你能成为一个伟大的作家——或许是足以写一本书,或在报纸上的文章,但你可能不知道,直到你写英语,英语课程论文纸张——这是分配给你的。也许你能成为一名创造者或发明人——或许是足以想出第二苹果或是新医学或疫苗,但你可能不知道,直到你为你的科学课项目。也许你可以是一个市长或参议员或最高法院的大法官——但你可能不知道,直到你加入学生会或辩论队。
无论你想做什么你的生活,我保证你会需要一个教育来做这件事。你想要成为一个医生,或一位教师,或一个警察吗?你想成为一名护士或建筑
师、律师和我们的军队的一员吗?你需要一个良好的教育为每一个人的职业生涯。你不能退学就掉到一份好工作。你必须训练它,为它工作和学习。
这不仅仅是重要的为自己的生活以及你自己的未来。你使你受的教育将决定不少于这个国家的前途。美国的未来取决于你们。你今天在学校里学习将决定,作为一个国家,我们能满足我们的最大的挑战,在未来的。 你所需要的知识和解决问题的能力你学习科学和数学治愈疾病,如癌症和艾滋病的方法,并开发新的能源技术和保护我们的环境。你将会需要洞察力和critical-thinking技能你获得在历史和社会研究来对抗贫穷与无家可归、犯罪和歧视,使我们的国家更公平、更自由。你需要创造力和聪明才智你开发你所有的课程来建立新的公司,创造新的就业机会,促进我们的经济。
我们需要每一个你发展你的才能和你的技巧和你的智力,这样你就能帮助我们解决我们的老人们最困难的问题。如果你不这样做——如果你离开学校,你不只是在自己身上,你辞职离开你的国家。
现在,我知道这并不总是容易的在学校要好好的做。我知道你们很多人在你的生活中有挑战,现在可以很难集中精神做作业。
我总是能得到它。我知道它是什么样的。我父亲留给我的家人在我两岁的时候,我生长在一个单亲妈妈不得不工作,有时在付账单,并且不是总能给我们其他孩子的事。有好几次我错过了有一个父亲在我的生命中。有好几次我很孤单,我觉得我不合身。
所以我并不总是像我应该集中在学校,我做了一些事情,我并不以此为荣,还有更多的麻烦比我应该这样做的。和我的生活很容易就会采取一种使其变得更糟。
但我就是- - - - -我很幸运。我收到了很多第二次机会,我有机会去大学和法学院,之后跟随我的梦想。我的妻子,我们的第一夫人米歇尔奥巴马,她有一个类似的故事。她的父母也曾上过大学,他们没有很多钱。但是他们努力工作,她工作很努力,这样她可以去最好的学校在这个国家。 你们中的一些人可能没有那些优势。也许你没有成年人在你的生命中给你你所需要的支持。也许别人在你的家人已经失去了他们自己的工作,而没有足够的钱能使鬼推磨。也许你住在一个地方你觉得不安全,或有两个朋友,他们是你做事情施加压力,你知道那样不对。
但在一天结束的时候,你生活的境况——你的样子,你来自哪里、你有多少钱,你得到了什么要在家,但那是一个借口疏忽了你的家庭作业或一个不好的态度在学校。那不是借口顶嘴而你的老师或跷课,或跌出学校。没有理由不去尝试。
你现在何处没有决定在这里你将结束。没有人写过你的命运对你来说,因为在美国,你写你自己的命运。你会创造自己的未来。
这就是年轻人喜欢你所做的每一天,整个美国。奥巴马入学演讲稿。
年轻人喜欢Jazmin法勒斯,从罗马,德克萨斯州。Jazmin不讲英语当她第一次开始上学。她的父母也不去上大学。但她工作很努力,成绩不俗,
获得了布朗大学的奖学金——现在是在大学的时候,公共卫生研究将成为博士Jazmin法勒斯。
我在考虑,从Andoni舒尔茨,来自加利福尼亚州洛斯拉图斯,谁是脑癌战斗因为他是三个。他不得不忍受各种治疗和手术,其中一个影响了他的记忆,他花更长的时间- - - - - - - - - - - - - -数百小时做他的作业。但他从未落后了。他将于今年秋天大学已经前往。
然后还有的Shantell史蒂夫,从我的家乡芝加哥,伊利诺斯州。即使跳跃,从寄养家庭寄养家庭在最艰难的社区在城市,她设法找一份工作,在当地一家医疗中心,开始一个程序,保持年轻帮派的人,她的路径上高中毕业与荣誉和你去上大学。
和Jazmin,Andoni,Shantell不会有任何不同于你们中的任何一人。在他们的生活中面临挑战就像你也需要一样。在某些情况下,他们已经得到了很多景况比你们中许多人。但他们拒绝放弃。他们愿意承担他们的生活,因为他们的教育,并将他们的目标设立。我希望你们所有的人来做同样的事情。
这就是为什么我今天呼吁你们每一个人都来设定自己的目标,为你的教育—和你所能见到他们。你的目标可以简单的事,做你的家庭作业,关注类或每天花些时间阅读一本书。也许你会决定参与课外活动,或一个志愿者在你的社区里呼吁。也许你会决定挺身而出时,他们的孩子,他们都是被耍弄或欺负,因为他们是谁,或者他们怎么看,因为你相信,就像我现在所作的,所有的年轻人都应该有一个安全的环境研究和学习。也许你会决定更好地照顾自己,所以你可以更愿意去学习。和沿着正确的方向,
篇二:《奥巴马开学演讲(中英文)》
美国总统奥巴马9月8日开学演讲
REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT
IN A NATIONAL ADDRESS TO AMERICA'S SCHOOLCHILDREN
Wakefield High School
Arlington, Virginia
Hello, everybody! Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, everybody.
嗨，大家好！谢谢！谢谢大家！
All right, everybody go ahead and have a seat. How is everybody going today? How about Tim Spicer?
好的，大家请就座。你们今天过得怎么样？蒂姆.斯派塞好吗？奥巴马入学演讲稿。
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.
我现在与弗吉尼亚州阿灵顿郡维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。我还有感谢维克菲尔德高中出色的组织安排，请为你们热烈鼓掌。 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.
我知道，对你们中的许多人来说，今天是开学的第一天。对于刚进入幼儿园或升上初中高中的学生，今天是你们来到新学校的第一天。因此，假如你们搞到有些紧张，那也是正常的。I imagine there are some seniors out there who are feeling pretty good right now --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.
我想也会有许多毕业班的学生们正自信满满，还有一年就毕业了。不论在哪个年级，许多人打心底里希望现在还是暑假。今天早上还能多睡一小会。
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.
我可以理解这份心情。小时候，我们家生活中海外。我在印度尼西亚住了几年。我母亲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。
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.
因此，他决定从周一到周五自己给我补课。不过她还要上夜班。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."
你们可以想象，我不太情愿那么早起床。有很多次，我趴在餐桌上就睡着了。每当我埋怨的时候，我妈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 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. 所有我能理解你们有些人还在适应开学后的生活。但几天我站在这里，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一个人的教育，以及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 you to learn. 我谈到过教师有责任激励你们，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. 我谈到过家长有责任确保你们走正道、完成家庭作业，不要成天只会看电视或打游戏机。奥巴马入学演讲稿。
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.
我也多次谈到过政府有责任制定高标准协助老师和校长的工作，改变在有些学校学生得不到应有的学习机会的现状。 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.
但哪怕这一切都达到最好，哪怕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，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，除非你认真听老师讲课，除非你把父母、长辈和其他大人们的话放在心上。除非你肯付出成功所必需的努力。否则这一切都会失去意识。而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。你们每一个都有自己的长处，你们每个人都时有用之才。你们对自己应尽的责任时发现自己的才能所在。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 assigned to you.
或许你能写出优美的文字，甚至有一天能将那些文字出现在书籍和报刊上，但假如不再英语课上经常练习写作，你不会发现自己有这样的才能。
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. 或许你能成为一名创新家或发明家。甚至可能设计出新一代iPhone，或研制出新型药物与疫苗。但假如不再自然科学课堂上做上几次试验，你不会发现自己有这样的才能。或许你能成为一名市长或参议员，或最高法院的大法官，但假如你不去加入或参加几次辩论赛，你不会发现自己有这样的才能。
And no matter what you want to do with your life, I guarantee that you'll need an education to do it.
不论你的生活的志向是什么，我敢肯定你都需要相应的教育。
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.
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。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。今天你们在学校中的学习内容，将决定我们整个国家在未来迎接重大挑战时的表现。
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.
你们需要在数理科学课程上学习知识和技能，去治疗癌症、艾滋病那样的疾病。开发新的能源技术保护我们的环境。 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.
你们需要历史社会科课程上活动观察的能力与判断力来抗击贫困和解决无家可归的问题打击犯罪和消除歧视，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培养创造力和智慧去创办公司，制造就业机会和推动经济增长。 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.
我们需要你们每一个人都发挥天赋、技能和才智，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，入股你们辍学，你们不仅放弃了自己，也放弃了自己的国家。
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.
我当然明白读好书不是件容易的事，我知道你们中的许多人在生活中面临着各种问题。很难把精力集中在专心读书上。 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.
我明白这一点，我有亲身感受。我父亲在我两岁时就离开了家庭，是我母亲一个人将我拉扯大，母亲不得不工作并时
常为支付生活费而苦苦挣扎。但有时仍无法位我们提供其他孩子享有的东西。奥巴马入学演讲稿。
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.
有时我渴望生活中能有一位父亲。有时我也会感到孤独无助，感觉到与周围的环境格格不入。
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.
我并非总是想我应该做到的那样专心学习，我做过许多自己觉得丢脸的事情，也惹出许多不该惹的麻烦。我的生活岌岌可危，随时可能急转直下。
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.
但我很幸运，在许多事情上都得到了重来的机会。我有幸能上大学，上法学院，追求自己的理想。我的妻子，我们的第一夫人马歇尔.奥巴马，也有着类似的人生故事。她的父母亲都没有读过大学，也没有什么财产，但他们都非常勤奋，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.
你们中有些人可能没有那些有利条件。或许你们的生活中没有能为你提供帮助的长辈。或许你们家长中有人失业，经济非常拮据。或许你住的社区不那么安全，或许你认识一些会对你产生不良影响的朋友。
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.
但归根结底，你的生活状况，你的长相、出身、经济条件、家庭气氛，都不是疏忽学业和态度恶劣的借口。这些不是你去跟老师顶嘴、逃课或辍学的借口。这些不是你不好好读书的借口。
Where you are right now doesn't have to determine where you'll end up. No one's written

奥巴马开学中英文演讲稿（全文）
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.)
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 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 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 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 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

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. 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. 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.
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.
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. 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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
篇四:《奥巴马演讲稿《我们为什么要上学》经典语录》
1、父母的责任是确保你做你该做的事，完成你的作业，而不是把所有空闲时间都用来看电视或玩xbox。
2、每个人都有擅长的事情，每个人都能贡献些什么。所以你有责任发现自己的长处是什么，而学习就提供了这样一个发挥的机会。
3、也许你会是一个作家——能写书和在报纸上发表文章——但是如果你不完成英语课上布置给你的英语论文，你又怎么发现自己的才能?也许你会是一个发明家——可以设计出下一代iphone或是新药甚至是疫苗——但是如果你不完成自然课上的作业，你又怎能知道自己的潜能?也许你会成为市长，参议员或者最高法院大法官——但是如果你不参加学生会或辩论队，你又怎么了解自己的长处?
4、不管你将走上怎样的道路，我敢保证你都需要接受教育。奥巴马演讲稿《我们为什么要上学》经典语录。
5、你生活的环境，你的样子，你从哪里来，你有多少钱，你的家庭怎么样，这些都不能成为你不做功课和不好好上学的借口。
6、你现在的处境并不能决定你将来也是这样。没人能决定你的命运，7、不管你的目标是什么，我希望你们去做，去真正地付诸于行动。
8、成功是非常艰难的事。你不可能喜欢所有的课程，你不可能和所有的老师合拍，不是所有的作业看起来都和你现在的生活息息相关，而且你不可能，也不必要在第一次尝试时，就获得成功。
9、一些最成功的人同时也是失败次数最多的人。奥巴马演讲稿《我们为什么要上学》经典语录。
10、你不能被失败打倒，你必须从失败中学习，如何在下一次做出改变。因此如果你陷入困境，那并不意味着你是倒霉蛋，那只说明你要加倍努力来走向成功。如果你成绩不好，那并不代表你很笨，只说明你需要花更多的时间在学习上。
11、没有人生来就是天才，只有熟能生巧。你不会在接触一项新运动时就进校队，你也不会在第一次唱歌时一点不走音，因此你需要练习。这个道理同样适用于学习。你也许要做好几遍才能答对一道数学题，你也许要读好几遍才能读懂一篇文章，你一定要打好几遍草稿才能完成一篇可以上交的论文。
12、不要害怕问问题，不要害怕在你需要的时候请求帮助，像我每天都在请求他人帮忙。助于人不是弱者的象征，恰恰相反是强者的特质，因为这说明你有勇气承认你在某方面的无知，而这能帮助你学到新知识。
13、当你挣扎，当你怯懦，甚至当你觉得大家都放弃你的时候，你千万不要放弃你自己，因为当你放弃你自己的时候，你也就放弃了你的国家。
篇五:《奥巴马竞选演讲稿》
奥巴马竞选演讲稿
[范文一]
obama: the change we need
this is a defining moment in our history。 we face the worst economic crisis since the great depression -- 760，000 workers have lost their jobs this year。 businesses and families can't get credit。 home values are falling， and pensions are disappearing。奥巴马竞选演讲稿。 wages are lower than they've been in a decade， at a time when the costs of health care and college have never been higher。
at a moment like this， we can't afford four more years of spending increases， poorly designed tax cuts， or the plete lack of regulatory oversight that even former federal reserve chairman alan greenspan now believes was a mistake。 america needs a new direction。 that's why i'm running for president of the united states。
tomorrow， you can give this country the change we need。
my opponent， senator mccain， has served his country honorably。 he can even point to a few moments in the past where he has broken from his party。奥巴马竞选演讲稿。 but over the past eight years， he's voted with president bush 90% of the time。 and when it es to the economy， he still can't tell the american people one major thing he'd do differently from george bush。
it's not change to e up with a tax plan that doesn't give a penny of relief to more than 100 million middle-class americans -- a plan that even the national review and other conservative organizations plain does far too little to benefit the middle class。 it's not change to add more than $5 trillion to the deficits we've run up in recent years。 it's not change to e up with a plan to address our housing crisis that puts another $300 billion of taxpayer money at risk -- a plan that the editorial board of this newspaper said 'raises more questions than it answers。' if there's one thing we've learned from this economic crisis， it's that we are all in this together。 from ceos to shareholders， from
financiers to factory workers， we all have a stake in each other's success because the more americans prosper，the more america prospers。 that's why we've had titans of industry who've made it their mission to pay well enough that their employees could afford the products they made -- businessmen like warren buffett， whose support i'm proud to have。 that's why our economy hasn't just been the world's greatest wealth creator -- it's been the world's greatest job generator。 it's been the tide that has lifted the boats of the largest middle class in history。
to rebuild that middle class， i'll give a tax break to 95% of workers and their families。 if you work， pay taxes， and make less than $200，000， you'll get a tax cut。 if you make more than $250，000， you'll still pay taxes at a lower rate than in the 1990s -- and capital gains and dividend taxes one-third lower than they were under president reagan。
we'll create two million new jobs by rebuilding our crumbling
infrastructure and laying broadband lines that reach every corner of the country。 i'll invest $15 billion a year over the next decade in renewable energy， creating five million new， green jobs that pay well， can't be outsourced， and can help end our dependence on middle east oil。 when it es to health care， we don't have to choose between a government-run system and the unaffordable one we have now。 my opponent's plan would make you pay taxes on your health-care benefits for the first time in history。 my plan will make health care affordable and accessible for every american。 if you already have health insurance， the only change you'll see under my plan is lower premiums。 if you don't， you'll be able to get the same kind of plan that members of congress get for themselves。 to give every child a world-class education so they can pete in this global economy for the jobs of the 21st century， i'll invest in early childhood education and recruit an army of new teachers。 but i'll also demand higher standards and more accountability。 and we'll make a deal with every young american: if you mit to serving your munity or your country， we will make sure you can afford your tuition。
and when it es to keeping this country safe， i'll end the iraq war responsibly so we stop spending $10 billion a month in iraq while it sits on a huge surplus。 for the sake of our economy， our military and the long-term stability of iraq， it's time for the iraqis to step up。 i'll finally finish the fight against bin laden and the al qaeda terrorists who attacked us on 9/11， build new partnerships to defeat the threats of the 21st century， and restore our moral standing so that america remains the last， best hope of earth。
none of this will be easy。 it won't happen overnight。 but i believe we can do this because i believe in america。 this is the country that allowed our parents and grandparents to believe that even if they couldn't go to college， they could save a little bit each week so their child could; that even if they couldn't have their own business， they could work hard enough so their child could open one of their own。 and at every moment in our history， we've risen to meet our challenges because we've never forgotten the fundamental truth that in america， our destiny is not written for us， but by us。
so tomorrow， i ask you to write our nation's next great chapter。 i ask you to believe -- not just in my ability to bring about change， but in yours。 tomorrow， you can choose policies that invest in our middle class， create new jobs， and grow this economy so that everyone has a chance to succeed。 you can choose hope over fear， unity over division， the promise of change over the power of the status quo。 if you give me your vote， we won't just win this election -- together， we will change this country and change the world。
现在是美国历史的关键时刻。我们面临着大萧条以来最为严重的一场经济危机:今年以来已经有76万人失业;企业和家庭无法获得信贷;房价不断下滑，养老金日益缩水;工资降到了十年来的最低水平，同时医疗和教育成本却涨到了有史以来的最高点。
在眼下这样的危急时刻，我们承受不起又一个四年的支出增长、千疮百孔的减税措施、或是监管全无──即使是美国联邦储备委员会(fed)前主席格林斯潘(alan greenspan)现在也承认那是个错误。美国需要一个新的方向。这也正是我竞选美国总统的原因所在。
明天，也就是周二，你们将有能力赋予这个国家我们所需要的变革。 corbis我的竞选对手麦凯恩参议员为美国作出的贡献令人尊敬。他甚至可以指出他过去曾有几次与自己的党派分道扬镳。然而，在过去八年中，他十之八九都赞同布什总统的主张。而在经济问题上，他仍然无法向美国民众说明，他与布什的做法会有什么太大区别。
如果提出的税收计划没有让1亿多美国中产阶级获得一分钱的税项减免，这不是变革──即使是<国家评论>(national review)杂志和其他保守派组织也抱怨说，这个计划对造福中产阶级贡献寥寥。在近年来不断累积的财政赤字上再添5万亿美元，这不是变革。如果解决房市危机的计划又将另外3，000亿美元纳税人的钱置于风险之中，这不是变革──<华尔街日报>编辑委员会称这一计划“产生的问题比解决的问题多”。
如果说我们从此次经济危机中学到了什么的话，那就是我们要患难与共。从首席执行长到公司股东，从金融家到工厂工人，我们每个人都休戚相关，因为美国的民众越富足，美国才会越繁荣。
这就是为什么我们有些企业巨头把提高员工薪酬作为自己的一项使命，让员工能买得起自己生产的产品，比如巴菲特(warren buffett)这样的商界人士。我对能有他的支持感到自豪。这就是为什么美国经济不仅是世界上最伟大的财富创造者，也是世界上最伟大的就业机会制造者。它一直托举着有史以来规模最大的中产阶级之舟。
为了重塑美国中产阶级，我将给予95%的工人及其家庭税收减免待遇。如果你工作，就交税;如果年收入不足20万美元，你会获得减税;即使你的年收入超过了25万美元，你所负担的税率也比上世纪九十年代要低──资本利得税和股息税要比里根总统时期低三分之一。
通过重建日益破败的基础设施、在美国的各个角落接通宽带，我们将创造200万个就业岗位。未来的十年中，我将每年在可再生能源领域投资150亿美元，进而新增500万个岗位;这些工作环保、薪酬丰厚、不能外包，而且能帮助我们摆脱对中东石油的依赖。
在医疗问题上，我们不必在政府运营的体系和目前这种我们难以负担的体系之间进行选择。我的竞选对手提出的方案会令美国人有史以来首次为自己获得的医疗福利纳税。我的计划则会让医疗保健成为每个美国人都负担得起、享受得到的服务。根据我的计划，如果你已经有了医疗保险，你将看到的唯一一个变化是保费降低;如果你还没有医疗保险，你将能与国会议员们享受到同样的医疗福利。 为了让每个孩子享受到世界级的教育，让他们能在全球经济中竞争21世纪的工作岗位，我将投资早期教育，并且增加师资力量。不过，我同时也会要求更高的标准和更多的责任。我们向每个美国年轻人作出承诺:如果你致力于服务你的社区或是你的国家，我们将确保你能负担得起自己的学费。
在国防安全问题上，我将负责任地结束伊拉克战争，这样我们就不必在这个国家享有巨额财政盈余的情况下每月却要在那里花费100亿美元。为了美国的经济、美国的军队和伊拉克的长期稳定，现在是伊拉克人站出来的时候了。我将最终完成对本·拉登(bin laden)和基地组织恐怖分子的打击，正是这些人制造了9/11恐怖袭击，同时我还会建立新的合作关系、击退21世纪出现的威胁，恢复我们的道德威望，让美国仍然是地球上最后也是最好的希望。
这些事情没有一件是轻而易举能办到的，也不是一朝一夕能完成的。但是，我坚信我们能成功，因为我对美国深信不疑。是美国使我们的父辈相信，即使他们自己无法上大学，也可以每周积攒下一些钱来，让他们的孩子接受好的教育;即使他们不能拥有自己的企业，也可以通过努力工作让自己的孩子创办企业。在美国历史的每个时刻，我们都勇敢地站起来面对挑战，因为我们从来没有忘记过这样一个基本真理:在美国，我们的命运并非天定，而是掌握在我们自己的手中。 所以，明天，我恳请你们书写美国下一个伟大的篇章。我恳请你们不只相信我带来变革的能力，还有你们自己的能力。明天，你们可以选择这样一种政策──向美国中产阶级进行投入、创造新的就业岗位、实现经济增长让人人都有成功的机会。你们可以选择希望而非恐惧、选择团结而非分裂、选择变革的希望而非墨守成规。如果你们投我的票，我们将不仅赢得此次竞选，还将一起改变这个国家、改变这个世界。

hello， chicago。
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。
美国是一个一切皆有可能的地方，如果还有人对这一点心存怀疑，如果还有人怀疑美国奠基者的梦想在我们时代是否还有活力，还有人怀疑我们民主制度的力量，那么，你们今晚正是对那些疑问作出了回答。
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。
在学校和教堂周围所出现的前所未有的长队是答案，这个国家从未见过这么多的人前来投票，人们排三个、四个小时的队来进行有生以来的第一次投票，因为他们相信这一次将会不同，他们发出的声音可能就是那个差别。
it’s the answer spoken by young and old， rich and poor， democrat and republican， black， white， hispanic， asian， native american， gay， straight， disabled and not disabled。 americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been just a collection of individuals or a collection of red states and blue states。
这是一个年轻人和年老人、富人和穷人、民主党人和共和党人、黑人、白人、西班牙裔人、亚裔、印第安人、同性恋和异性恋、残障人士和健全人士所作出的回答。美国人向世界发出一个信息:我们从不只是一些个人的累加或者“红色州”和“蓝色州”的累加。
we are， and always will be， the united states of america。
我们是，我们永远是美利坚合众国。
it’s the answer that led those who’ve been told for so long by so many to be cynical and fearful and doubtful about 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。
这是一个引导人们的答案，太多的人在很长的时间内给他们说这个答案，以至于他们对此持愤世疾俗的态度，对我们是否可以再一次把握历史的希望感到担心和怀疑。
it’s been a long time ing， but tonight， because of what we did on this date in this election at this defining moment change has e to america。
已经过去了很长时间，但是今晚，由于我们今天在这场选举所采取的行动，在这个决定性的时候，变革来到了美国。

麦凯恩在这场选战中进行了长期和艰苦的努力，他为这个他所爱的国家战斗了更长的时间，作出了更艰苦的努力。他为美国承受了我们中的大多数人无法想像的牺牲。由于这位勇敢和无私领导人的服务，我们的生活变得更好。
i congratulate him; i congratulate gov。 palin for all that they’ve achieved。 and i look forward to working with them to renew this nation’s promise in the months ahead。

芝加哥，你好!
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。
如果有人怀疑美国是个一切皆有可能的地方，怀疑美国奠基者的梦想在我们这个时代依然燃烧，怀疑我们民主的力量，那么今晚这些疑问都有了答案。
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。
学校和教堂门外的长龙便是答案。排队的人数之多，在美国历史上前所未有。为了投票，他们排队长达三、四个小时。许多人一生中第一次投票，因为他们认为这一次大选结果必须不同以往，而他们手中的一票可能决定胜负。
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。

刚才，麦凯恩参议员很有风度地给我打了个电话。在这次竞选中，他的努力持久而艰巨。为了这个他挚爱的国家，他的努力更持久、更艰巨。他为美国的奉献超出绝大多数人的想象。他是一位勇敢无私的领袖，有了他的奉献，我们的生活才更美好。我对他和佩林州长的成绩表示祝贺。同时，我也期待着与他们共同努力，再续美国辉煌。
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 scranton and rode with on that train home to delaware， the vice-president-elect of the united states， joe biden。
我要感谢我的竞选搭档——当选副总统乔·拜登。为了与他一起在斯克兰顿市街头长大、一起坐火车返回特拉华州的人们，拜登全心全意地竟选，他代表了这些普通人的声音。
i would not be standing here tonight without the unyielding support of my best friend for the last 16 years， the rock of our family and the love of my life，our nation's next first lady， michelle obama。 sasha andmalia， i love you both so much， and you have earned the new puppy that's ing with us to the white house。 and while she's no longer with us， i know my grandmother is watching， along with the family that made me who i am。 i miss them tonight， and know that my debt to them is beyond measure。
我要感谢下一位第一夫人米歇尔·奥巴马。她是我家的中流砥柱，是我生命中的最爱。没有她在过去16年来的坚定支持，今晚我就不可能站在这里。我要感谢两个女儿萨沙和玛丽娅，我太爱你们两个了，你们将得到一条新的小狗，它将与我们一起入住白宫。我还要感谢已去世的外婆，我知道此刻她正在天上注视着我。她与我的家人一起造就了今天的我。今夜我思念他们，他们对我的恩情比山高、比海深。
to my campaign manager， david plouffe; my chief strategist， david axelrod; and the best campaign team ever assembled in the history of politics — you made this happen， and i am forever grateful for what you've sacrificed to get it done。
我要感谢我的竞选经理大卫·普鲁夫，感谢首席策划师大卫·阿克塞罗德以及整个竞选团队，他们是政治史上最优秀的竞选团队。你们成就了今夜，我永远感谢你们为今夜所付出的一切。
but above all， i will never forget who this victory truly belongs to — it belongs to you。
但最重要的是，我将永远不会忘记这场胜利真正属于谁---是你们!
i was never the likeliest candidate for this office。 we didn't start with much money or many endorsements。 our campaign was not hatched in the halls of washington —it began in the backyards of des moines and the living rooms of concord and the front porches of charleston。
我从来不是最有希望的候选人。起初，我们的资金不多，赞助人也不多。我们的竞选并非始于华盛顿的华丽大厅，而是起于德莫奈地区某家的后院、康科德地区的某家客厅、查尔斯顿地区的某家前廊。
it was built by working men and women who dug into what little savings they had to give $5 and $10 and $20 to this cause。 it grew strength from the young people who rejected the myth of their generation's apathy; who left their homes and their families for jobs that offered little pay and less sleep; from the not-so-young people who braved the bitter cold and scorching heat to knock on the doors of perfect strangers; from the millions of americans who volunteered and organized， and proved that more than two centuries later， a government of the people， by the people and for the people has not perished from this earth。 this is your victory。
劳动大众从自己的微薄积蓄中掏出5美元、10美元、20美元，拿来捐助我们的事业。年轻人证明了他们绝非所谓“冷漠的一代”。他们远离家乡和亲人，拿着微薄的报酬，起早摸黑地助选。上了年纪的人也顶着严寒酷暑，敲开陌生人的家门助选。无数美国人自愿组织起来，充当自愿者。正是这些人壮大了我们的声势。他们的行动证明了在两百多年以后，民有、民治、民享的政府并未从地球上消失。这是你们的胜利。
i know you didn't do this just to win an election， and i know you didn't do it for me。 you did it because youunderstand the enormity of the task that lies ahead。 foreven as we celebrate tonight， we know the challenges that tomorrow will bring are the greatest of our lifetime — two wars， a pla in peril， the worst financial crisis in a century。 even as we stand here tonight， we know there are brave americans waking up in the deserts of iraq and the mountains of afghanistan to risk their lives for us。 there are mothers and fathers。 who will lie awake after their children fall asleep and wonder how they'll make the mortgage， or pay their doctor's bills， or save enough for college。 there is new energy to harness and new jobs to be created; new schools to build and threats to meet and alliances torepair。
你们这样做，并不只是为了赢得一场大选，更不是为了我个人。你们这样做，是因为你们清楚未来的任务有多么艰巨。今晚我们在欢庆，明天我们就将面对一生之中最为严峻的挑战--两场战争、一个充满危险的星球，还有百年一遇的金融危机。今晚我们在这里庆祝，但我们知道在伊拉克的沙漠里，在阿富汗的群山中，许许多多勇敢的美国人醒来后就将为了我们而面临生命危险。许许多多的父母会在孩子熟睡后仍难以入眠，他们正在为月供、医药费，孩子今后的大学费用而发愁。我们需要开发新能源，创造就业机会，建造新学校，迎接挑战和威胁，并修复与盟国的关系。
the road ahead will be long。 our climb will be steep。 we may not get there in one year， or even one term， but america — i have never been more hopeful than i am tonight that we will get there。 i promise you: we as a people will get there。
前方道路还很漫长，任务艰巨。一年之内，甚至一届总统任期之内，我们可能都无法完成这些任务。但我从未像今晚这样对美国满怀希望，我相信我们会实现这个目标。我向你们承诺--我们美利坚民族将实现这一目标!
there will be setbacks and false starts。 there are many who won't agree with every decision or policy i make as president， and we know that government can't solve every problem。 but i will always be honest with you about the challenges we face。 i will listen to you， especially when we disagree。 and， above all， i will ask you join in the work of remaking this nation the only way it's been done in america for 221 years — block by block， brick by brick， callused hand by callused hand。
我们会遇到挫折，会出师不利，会有许多人不认同我的某一项决定或政策。政府并不能解决所有问题，但我会向你们坦陈我们所面临的挑战。我会聆听你们的意见，尤其是在我们意见相左之时。最重要的是，我会让你们一起重建这个国家。用自己的双手，从一砖一瓦做起。这是美国立国221年以来的前进方式，也是惟一的方式。
what began 21 months ago in the depths of winter must not end on this autumn night。 this victory alone is not the change we seek — it is only the chance for us to make that change。 and that cannot happen if we go back to the way things were。 it cannot happen without you。
21个月前那个隆冬所开始的一切，绝不应在这一个秋夜结束。我们所寻求的变革并不只是赢得大选，这只是给变革提供了一个机会。假如我们照老路子办事，就没有变革;没有你们，就没有变革。
so let us summon a new spirit of patriotism; of service and responsibility where each of us resolves to pitch in and work harder and look after not only ourselves， but each other。 let us remember that if this financial crisis taught us anything， it's that we cannot have a thriving wall street while main street suffers。 in this country， we rise or fall as one nation — as one people。
让我们重新发扬爱国精神，树立崭新的服务意识、责任感，每个人下定决心，一起努力工作，彼此关爱;让我们牢记这场金融危机带来的教训:不能允许商业街挣扎的同时却让华尔街繁荣。在这个国家，我们作为同一个民族，同生死共存亡。
let us resist the temptation to fall back on the same partisanship and pettiness and immaturity that has poisoned our politics for so long。 let us remember that it was a man from this state who first carried the banner of the republican party to the white house — a party founded on the values of self-reliance， individual liberty and national unity。 those are values we all share， and while the democratic party has won a great victory tonight， we do so with a measure of humility and determination to heal the divides that have held back our progress。
党派之争、琐碎幼稚，长期以来这些东西荼毒了我们的政坛。让我们牢记，当来自伊利诺伊州的一位先生首次将共和党大旗扛进白宫时，伴随着他的是自强自立、个人自由、国家统一的共和党建党理念。这也是我们所有人都珍视的理念。虽然民主党今晚大胜，但我们态度谦卑，并决心弥合阻碍我们进步的分歧。
as lincoln said to a nation far more divided than ours， "we are not enemies， but friends。。。 though passion may have strained， it must not break our bonds of affection。" and， to those americans whose support i have yet to earn， i may not have won your vote， but i hear your voices， i need your help， and i will be your president， too。
当年，林肯面对的是一个远比目前更为分裂的国家。他说:“我们不是敌人，而是朋友……虽然激情可能不再，但是我们的感情纽带不会割断。”对于那些现在并不支持我的美国人，我想说，虽然我没有赢得你们的选票，但我听到了你们的声音，我需要你们的帮助，我也将是你们的总统。
and to all those watching tonight from beyond our shores， from parliaments and palaces to those who are huddled around radios in the forgotten corners of our world — our stories are singular， but our destiny is shared， and a new dawn of american leadership is at hand。 to those who would tear this world down: we will defeat you。 to those who seek peace and security: we support you。 and to all those who have wondered if america's beacon still burns as bright: tonight， we proved once more that the true strength of our nation es not from the might of our arms or the scale of our wealth， but from the enduring power of our ideals: democracy， liberty， opportunity and unyielding hope。
对于关注今夜结果的国际人士，不管他们是在国会、皇宫关注，还是在荒僻地带收听电台，我们的态度是:我们美国人的经历各有不同，但我们的命运相关，新的美国领袖诞生了。对于想毁灭这个世界的人们，我们必将击败你们。对于追求和平和安全的人们，我们将支持你们。对于怀疑美国这盏灯塔是否依然明亮的人们，今天晚上我们已再次证明:美国的真正力量来源并非军事威力或财富规模，而是我们理想的恒久力量:民主、自由、机会和不屈的希望。
for that is the true genius of america — that america can change。 our union can be perfected。 and what we have already achieved gives us hope for what we can and must achieve tomorrow。
美国能够变革，这才是美国真正的精髓。我们的联邦会不断完善。我们已经取得的成就，将为我们将来能够并且必须取得的成就增添希望。
this election had many firsts and many stories that will be told for generations。 but one that's on my mind tonight is about a woman who cast her ballot in atlanta。 she's a lot like the millions of others who stood in line to make their voice heard in this election， except for one thing: ann nixon cooper is 106 years old。
这次大选创造了多项“第一”，诞生了很多将流芳后世的故事，但今晚令我最为难忘的却是一位在亚特兰大投票的妇女:安妮·库波尔。她和无数排队等候投票的选民没有什么差别，唯一的不同是她高龄106岁。
she was born just a generation past slavery; a time when there were no cars on the road or planes in the sky;
when someone like her couldn't vote for two reasons —
because she was a woman and because of the color of her skin。
在她出生的那个时代，黑奴制刚刚废除。那时路上没有汽车，天上没有飞机。
当时像她这样的人由于两个原因不能投票--一第
一因为她是女性，第二个原因是她的肤色。
and tonight， i think about all that she's seen throughout her century in america — the heartache and
the hope; the struggle and the progress; the times we
were told that we can't and the people who pressed on with that american creed: yes， we can。
今天晚上，我想到了安妮在美国过去一百年间的种种经历:心痛和希望，挣扎和进步，
那些我们被告知我们办不到的年代，以及
我们现在这个年代。现在，我们坚信美国式信念──是的，我们能!
at a time when women's voices were silenced and their hopes dismissed， she lived to see them stand up and
speak out and reach for the ballot。 yes， we can。
在那个年代，妇女的声音被压制，她们的希望被剥夺。但安妮活到了今天，看到妇女们站起来了，可以大声发表意见了，有选举权了。
是的，我们能。
when there was despair in the dust bowl and depression across the land， she saw a nation conquer fear itself
with a new deal， new jobs and a new sense of mon
purpose。 yes， we can。
安妮经历了上世纪三十年代的大萧条。农田荒芜，绝望笼罩美国大地。她看到了美国以新政、新的就业机会以及崭新的共同追求
战胜了恐慌。是的，我们能。
when the bombs fell on our harbor and tyranny threatened the world， she was there to witness a generation rise to
greatness and a democracy was saved。 yes， we can。
二战时期，炸弹袭击我们的海港，全世界受到独裁专制威胁，安妮见证了一代美国人的英雄本色，他们捍卫了民主。是的，我们能。
she was there for the buses in montgomery， the hoses in birmingham， a bridge in selma and a preacher from
atlanta who told a people that "we shall overe。" yes，
we can。
安妮经历了蒙哥马利公交车事件、伯明翰黑人暴动事件、塞尔马血醒周末事件。来自亚特兰大的一位牧师告诉人们:我们终将胜利。
是的，我们能。
a man touched down on the moon， a wall came down in berlin， a world was connected by our own science and imagination。 and this year， in this election， she touched her finger to a screen and cast her vote， because after 106 years in america， through the best of times and the darkest of hours， she knows how america
can change。 yes， we can。
人类登上了月球、柏林墙倒下了，科学和想像把世界连成了一块。今年，在这次选举中，安妮的手指轻触电子屏幕，投下自己的一票。她在美国生活了106年，其间有最美好的时光，也有最黑暗的时刻，她知道美国能够变革。
是的，我们能。
america， we have e so far。 we have seen so much。 but there is so much more to do。 so tonight， let us ask ourselves: if our children should live to see the next century; if my daughters should be so lucky to live as long as ann nixon cooper， what change will they see?
what progress will we have made?
美利坚，我们已经一路走来，我们已经看到了那么多变化，但我们仍有很多事情要做。今夜，让我们问自己这样一个问题:假如我们的孩子能够活到下一个世纪，假如我的女儿们有幸与安妮一样长寿，她们将会看到怎样的改变?
我们又取得了怎样的进步?
this is our chance to answer that call。 this is our moment。 this is our time — to put our people back to work and open doors of opportunity for our kids; to restore prosperity and promote the cause of peace; to reclaim the american dream and reaffirm that fundamental truth that out of many， we are one; that while we breathe， we hope， and where we are met with cynicism，and doubt， and those who tell us that we can't， we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people: yes， we can。
现在，我们获得了回答这个问题的机会。这是我们的时刻，我们的时代。让我们的人民重新就业，为我们的孩子打开机会的大门;恢复繁荣，促进和平;让美国梦重放光芒，再证这一根本性真理，那就是:团结一致，众志成城;一息尚存，希望就在;倘若有人嘲讽和怀疑，说我们不能，我们就以这一永恒信条回应，因为它凝聚了整个民族的精神——是的，我们能!
thank you， god bless you， and may god bless the united states of america。
谢谢大家!愿上帝保佑你们，保佑美利坚合众国。
