米歇尔·奥巴马北大演讲实录(中英对照)

Ni-Hao. It is such a pleasure and an honorto be here with all of you at this great university. Thank you so much forhaving me.

你好,能够在这所伟大的大学里与你们大家在一起,真是莫大的荣幸,非常感谢你们的邀请。And before I get started today, on behalfof myself and my husband, I just want to say a few very brief words aboutMalaysian Airlines Flight370.As my husband has said, the United States isoffering as many resources as possible to assist in the search. And please knowthat we are keeping all the families and loved ones of those on this flight inour thoughts and prayers at this very difficult time.

在开始今天的讲话之前,我想代表我自己和我丈夫就马来西亚航空公司370航班简短地说几句。如我丈夫所说,美国正提供尽可能多的资源协助搜寻工作。请相信,在这个非常艰难的时刻,我们的心和航班上人员的家属和亲人在一起,我们为他们祈祷。

And I’m here today because I know that ourfuture depends on connections like these among young people like you across theglobe. That’s why when my husband and I travel abroad, we don’t just visitpalaces and parliaments and meet with heads pf state. We also come to schoolslike this one to meet with students like you. Because we believe thatrelationships between nations aren’t just about relationships betweengovernment or leaders…they’re about relationships between people, particularlyour young people. So we view study abroad programs not just as an educationalopportunity for students…but also as a vital part of America’s foreign policy.You see, through the wonders of modern technology, our world is more connectedthan ever before.

我今天来到这里是因为我知道,我们的未来取决于全球像你们这样的年轻人间的联系。这就是为什么当我丈夫和我出国旅行时,我们不只是访问宫殿、议会和会晤国家元首,我们也来像这样的学校,与像你们一样的学生见面。因为我们相信,国与国之间的关系不只是政府和领导人之间的关系,它们是人民间,尤其是我们年轻人间的关系。因此,我们认为海外留学项目不只是为学生提供教育机会,还是美国外交政策中至关重要的组成部分。你们看,通过现代技术奇迹,我们的世界比以往任何时候都更多地联系在一起。

Ideas can cross oceans with the click of abutton. Companies can do business and compete with companies across the globe.And we can text, email and skype with people on every continent. So studyingabroad isn’t just a fun way to spend a semester-it’s a quickly becoming the keyto success in our global economy. Because getting ahead in today’s workplaceisn’t just about getting good grades or test scores in school…it’s also abouthaving real experience with the world beyond your borders-experience withlanguages, cultures and societies very different from your own. Or, as theChinese saying goes: “It is better to travel ten thousand miles than to readten thousand books.”思想可以通过点击按钮跨越海洋;全球各地的公司可以进行业务往来和相互竞争;我们可以与各大洲的人们通过短信、电子邮件和Skype进行沟通。因此,出国留学不止是以开心的方式度过一个学期,它正迅速成为在全球经济中取得成功的关键。因为要走在当今职场的前沿,只在学校里取得好成绩或好分数是不够的,还应拥有对境外世界的真实体验——对不同于己的语言、文化和社会的体验。正如中国的一句古话所说:“读万卷书不如行万里路。”

But let’s be clear, studying abroad isabout so much more than improving your own future- it’s also about shaping thefuture of your countries and of the world we all share. Because when it comesto the defining challenges of our time –whether it’s climate change, oreconomic opportunity, or the spread of nuclear weapons…these are sharedchallenges. No one country can confront them alone…the only way forward istogether. That’s why it’s so important for young people like you to live andstudy in each other’s countries. Because that’s how you develop that

habit ofcooperation –you do it by immersing yourself in someone else’s culture…bylearning each other’s stories…and by getting past the stereotypes andmisconceptions that too often divide us.

更明确的是,出国留学绝不只是改变你们自己的未来——它还关乎塑造你们国家以及我们大家共同拥有的这个世界的未来。因为就我们这个时代的决定性挑战而言,无论是气候变化,还是经济机会,或是核武器扩散,这些都是共同的挑战。没有任何一个国家能单独应对它们,唯一的出路就是共同携手,这就是为什么像你们一样的年轻人到彼此国家学习和生活如此重要。因为这是你们培养合作习惯的途径——你们通过将自己沉浸在别人的文化里,通过了解彼此的故事,通过跨越经常隔离我们的成见和误解来做到这一点。

That’s how you come to understand how muchwe all share.

And that’s how you realize that we all havea stake in each other’s success –that cures discovered here in Beijing couldsave lives in America…that clean energy technologies from Silicon Valley inCalifornia could improve the environment here in China…that the architectureof an ancient temple in Xi’an could inspire the design of new buildings inDallas or Detroit.

And that’s when the connections you make asclassmates or labmates scan blossom into something more.

这是你们了解到我们共享着多少东西的途径。这是你们认识到我们都在彼此的成功中拥有攸关利益的途径,即在北京发现这里的治疗方法可以挽救在美国的生命;来自加州硅谷的清洁能源技术可以改善中国的环境;西安一座古老寺庙的架构可以激发达拉斯或底特律新建筑设计的灵感。这是你们和同学或实验伙伴所建立起的联系能带来更多收获的时候。

That’s what happened when Abigail Colinbecame an American Fulbright Scholar here at Peking University. She and hercolleagues published papers together in top science journals…and they builtresearch partnerships that lasted long after they returned to their homecountries. Professor Niu Ke from Peking University was a Fulbright Scholar inthe U.S. last year…and he reported, and I quote, “The most memorableexperiences were with my American friends.”

这是阿比盖尔?科普林(AbigailCoplin)成为北京大学美国富布赖特学者时发生的事情。她和她的同事们在首屈一指的科学杂志上共同发表论文,他们建立研究伙伴关系,这段关系在他们回到各自国家后还长久地持续着。来自北京大学的牛可教授是去年的美国富布赖特学者,我引述一下他的话,“最难忘的经历是和我的美国朋友们在一起。”

These lasting bonds represent the truevalue of studying abroad…and I am thrilled that more and more students aregetting this opportunity. China is currently the fifth most popular destinationfor Americans studying abroad. And today, the highest number of exchangestudents in the U.S. are from China. But still, too many students never havethis chance…and some that do are hesitant to take it. They may feel like studyabroad is only for wealthy students, or students from certain kinds ofuniversities. Or they may think to themselves, “Well, that sounds fun, but howwill it really be useful in my life?”

这些长久的纽带代表着留学的真正价值,我很兴奋,越来越多的学生正得到这样的机会。中国目前是美国人留学的第五大热门目的地。今天的美国,来自中国的交换生数量最多。尽管如此,太多的学生从来没有这样的机会,而一些有机会的学生犹豫是否要抓住它。他们可能觉得留学只是有钱的学生或来自某类大学的学生做的事,或者,他们可能心里想:“嗯,这听起来很有趣,但它在我的生活中真正有多大用处呢?”

I understand where these young people arecoming from, because I felt the same way back when I was in college. You see, Icame from a working class family …and it never even occurred to me to studyabroad. My parents didn’t get to attend college, and I was focused on gettinginto a

university and earning my degree so I could get a job and supportmyself. And for a lot of young people like me who are struggling to afford aregular semester of school, paying for plane tickets or living expenses halfwayaround the world just isn’t possible. And that’s not acceptable, because studyabroad shouldn’t just be for students from certain backgrounds. Our hope is tobuild connections between people of all races and socioeconomic backgrounds,because it is that diversity that makes our country so vibrant and strong …andour study abroad programs should reflect the true spirit of America to theworld.

我了解而这些年轻人来自哪里,因为我在上大学的时候也有同样的感受。你们看,我来自一个工薪阶层家庭,我甚至从来没想过留学。我的父母没有上过大学,我把精力集中在进入大学并获得学位,这样我就可以得到一份工作并养活自己。对于很多像我一样靠奋斗才能读得起一个常规学期的年轻人来说,支付世界另一边的机票或生活费实在是不可能的。这是不可接受的,因为留学不应仅是有某些背景的学生的事。我们希望在所有种族和社会背景的人之间建立联系,因为正是这样的多样性让我们的国家如此充满活力和强大,我们的海外留学项目应该向世界反映美国的真正精神。

That’s why, when my husband visited Chinaback in 2009, he announced our 100,000 Strong initiative to increase the numberand diversity of American students studying in China.

And this year, as we mark the thirty-fifthanniversary of the normalization of relations between our countries …the actually supports more American students in China than in any othercountry in the world.

这就是为什么在2009年我丈夫访问中国时,宣布了我们的100,000强倡议,该倡议旨在增加中国的美国学生的数量和多样性。而今年,在我们纪念我们两国关系正常化三十五周年之际,美国政府实际上支持更多的美国学生在中国—与其他世界上其他任何国家相比—学习。We’re sending high school, college andgraduate students here to study Chinese …we’re inviting teachers from China toteach Mandarin in American school …we’re providing free online advising forstudents in China who want to study in the U.S. …and the U.S.-China Fulbrightprogram is still going strong with more than 3,000 alumni. The private sectoris stepping up as well. For example, Steve Schwarzman, the head of an Americancompany called Blackstone, is funding a new program at Tsinghua Universitymodeled on the Rhodes Scholarship.

我们正送高中生、大学生、研究生来这里学习中文,我们正邀请中国老师到美国的学校教授普通话,我们为希望留学美国的中国学生提供免费的在线咨询,美中富布赖特项目仍在加强,现有3000多名学友。私人部门也在加紧工作。例如,美国黑石公司的主管史蒂夫?施瓦茨曼正在资助清华大学模仿罗德奖学金的一个新项目。

And today, students from all kinds ofbackgrounds are studying herein China. Take the example of Royale Nicholsonfrom Cleveland, Ohio who attends New York University’s program in Shanghai.Like me, Rayole is a first generation college student…and her mother worked twofulltime jobs while her father worked nights to support their family. Or herexperience in Shanghai, she said, ”This city oozes persistence and inspires meto accomplish all that I can.”And then there’s Philmon Haile from theUniversity of Washington whose family came to the refugees from Eritreawhen he was a child. Of his experience studying in China, he said, ”Studyabroad is a powerful vehicle for people to people exchange as we move into anew era of citizen diplomacy.”

今天,来自各种背景的学生正在中国学习。以来自俄亥俄克利夫兰的罗亚尔?尼克尔森为例,她参加了纽约大学在上海的项目。像我一样,罗亚尔是家里的第一代大学生,她母亲做两份全职工作,而她父亲晚上工作以维持他们的家庭。谈到她在上海的经历时,她说:“这座城

市充满韧性,它激励我完成所有我能做的事。”还有来自华盛顿大学的腓力门?海尔,他还是孩子的时候,她的家人作为厄立特里亚难民来到了中国。谈到他在中国学习的经历时,他说:“在我们进入公民外交的新时代之际,留学是人民间交流的一种强大工具。”

“A new era of citizen diplomacy”—I couldn’thave said it better myself, because that’s really what I’m talking about…I’mtalking about ordinary citizens reaching out to the world. And as I always tellyoung people back in America, you don’t need to get on a plane to be a citizendiplomat.

I tell them that if you have an internet connection in your home,school, or library, within seconds, you can be transported anywhere in theworld and meet people on every continent. That’s why I’m posting a daily travelblog with videos and photos of my experiences in China—because I want youngpeople in America to be part of this visit.

“一个公民外交的新时代”——我自己想不出比这更好的说法了。因为这正是我正在谈的,那就是普通公民走向世界。正像我在美国经常和年轻人说的那样,你不需要登上飞机才能成为公民外交官。我告诉他们,如果你在家里、学校或者图书馆能上网,只要几秒钟,你就可以被带到世界的任何地方,遇见来自每个大陆的人。这就是为什么我每天都要发一篇旅行博文,里面有我这次中国之行的视频和照片——因为我希望美国的年轻人能够成为我这次访问的一部分。

That’s really the power of technology—howit can open up the entire world and expose us to ideas and innovations we nevercould have imagined. And that’s why it is so important for information andideas to flow freely over the internet and through the media. Because that’show we discover the truth…that’s how we learn what’s really happening in ourcommunities, our country and our world. And that’s how we decide which valuesand ideas we think and best—by questioning a debating them vigorously…bylistening to all sides of every argument…and by judging for ourselves.

这的确是技术的力量,它如何得以打开整个世界,让我们接触到以前根本难以想象的思想和创新。同时,这也是为什么信息和思想在互联网上、以及通过媒体自由流动是如此重要。因为那是我们如何得以了解我们的社群、我们的国家和我们的世界到底在发生着什么。那也是我们如何决定我们认为哪些价值观和思想是最好的——通过有力地对它们提出疑问、进行辩论,通过每次倾听争论中的所有各方,也通过我们自己进行判断。

And believe me, I know this can be a messyand frustrating process. My husband and I are on the receiving end of plenty ofquestioning and criticism from our media and our fellow citizens…and it’s notalways easy…but we wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world. Because timeand again, we have seen that countries are stronger and more prosperous hen thevoices and opinions of all citizens can be heard. And as my husband has said,we respect the uniqueness of other cultures and societies. But when it comes toexpressing yourself freely, and worshipping as you choose, and having openaccess to information—we believe those are universal rights that are thebirthright of every person on this planet.

相信我,我知道这可以是一个让人既困惑又沮丧的过程。有大量的来自我们媒体和公民的质疑和批评,而我丈夫和我位于接收端,这并非易事,但我们不愿意用它来换世界上的任何东西。因为我们一次又一次地看到,当所有公民的声音和观点都能得到倾听的时候,国家会觉得更加强大和繁荣。而正像我丈夫曾说过的,我们尊重其他文化和社会的独特性。然而,就自由地表达自我、选择自己所崇拜,以及享有信息公开而言——我们相信那些是这个星球上的每个人与生俱来普世权利。

We believe that all people deserve theopportunity to fulfill their highest potential as I was able to do in the UnitedStates. And as you learn about new cultures and form new friendships duringyour

time here in China and in the United States, all of you the livingbreathing embodiment of those values. So I guarantee you that in studyingabroad, you’re not just changing your own life…you’re changing the lives ofeveryone you meet. As the great American President John F. Kennedy once saidabout foreign students studying in the U.S., “I think they teach more than theylearn.”And that is just as true of young Americans who study abroad.

我们相信,每个人都应享有实现自己最大潜能的机会,正如我在美国所能做到的那样。同时,当你在中国这里以及在美国了解新的文化、结交新的朋友时,你整个人就是那些价值观的鲜活代表。所以我保证,通过出国留学,你们不仅在改变自己的人生,你们也在改变所遇到的每个人的人生。正像伟大的美国总统约翰?肯尼迪(John F. Kennedy)曾经在谈到留学美国的外国学生时说的那样,“我想他们所教的比他们学到的还要多。”而对出国学习的年轻美国人来说也是一样的。

All of you are America’s best face, andChina’s best face, to the world. Every day, you show the world your countries’energy, creativity, optimism and unwavering belief In the future. And everyday, you remind us of just how much we can achieve if we reach acrossborers..and learn to see ourselves in each other…and confront our sharedchallengers with shared resolve. So I hope you all will keep seeking these kidsof experiences. An I hope you’ll keep teaching each other…and learning fromeach other…and building bonds of friendship that will enrich our world fordecades to come. You all have so much to offer, and I cannot wait to see thatyou achieve together in the years ahead.

对世界而言,你们所有人都是最好的美国面孔,和最好的中国面孔。每一天,你们都在向世界展示你们国家的能量、创造力、乐观,以及对未来坚定不移的信念。每一天,你们都在提醒我们,通过跨越边界,学会在彼此身上看到我们自己,和用共同的决心应对我们共同的挑战,我们可以取得多大的成就。所以,我希望你们都会不断寻求这样的经历。我也希望你们会继续教彼此,互相学习,同时建立起友谊的纽带,这些纽带能在未来数十年丰富你们的生活,也丰富我们的世界。你们大家都有这么多可以给予,我迫不及待地想看到,未来几年里你们一起实现的所有成就。

Thank you so much. Xie—Xie.

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。

Look at you all! (Applause.) You look good. STUDENT: You do too! MRS. OBAMA: Thank you. (Laughter.) I want to start by thanking Nicole for that very kind introduction and for sharing her story, which is not too unfamiliar to me -- because they told me I couldn’t be where I am, too. So I want to thank Nicole. I’m proud of her. Thank you for the selfie; I think that’s the first selfie I’ve done at a commencement. So, Nicole, you’re my first. (Laughter.) And of course, I want to thank the Dillard University Choir. Oh, oh, oh! (Applause.) Oh! That’s all I can say. It’

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

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。

奥巴马的最经典演讲

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

米歇尔奥巴马英国女校演讲稿

米歇尔·奥巴马在伦敦一所女校发表讲话,充满热情地以自身经历敦促每个学生认真对待教育。她说这些有才质的一代新人将会缩小现实世界与理想世界的差距。 Remarks by America?s First Lady, Michelle Obama at the Elizabeth Garrett Anderson School, Islington, U.K. 美国第一夫人米歇尔·奥巴马在英国伦敦伊斯灵顿·伊丽莎白·安德森女校的演讲 2009年4月3日 美国第一夫人米歇尔?奥巴马在英国伦敦伊斯灵顿伊丽莎白?安德森女校的英语演讲稿中英对照: This is my first trip. My first foreign trip as a first lady. Can you believe that? (Applause) And while this is not my first visit to the U.K., I have to say that I am glad this is my first official visit. The special relationship between the United States and the U.K. is based not only on the relationship between governments, but the common language and the values that we share. And I'm reminded of that by watching you all today. During my visit I've been especially honored to meet some of Britain's most extraordinary women. Women who are paving the way for all of you. 这是我的第一次出访。是我作为第一夫人的第一次外事出访。你们能相信这个事实吗?(掌声)虽然这不是我第一次来英国,我必须说很高兴我的首次官方访问是来英国。美国和英国之间的特殊关系,不只是基于政府之间的关系,而且基于我们有共同的语言和价值观。看见你们大家就使我想到这一点。在访问期间我特别荣幸地会见了英国一些最出色的女士。这些女士在为你们所有女孩子铺路。 And I'm honored to meet you, the future leaders of Great Britain and this world. And although the circumstances of our lives may seem very distant, with me standing here as the First Lady of the United States of America, and you, just getting through school. I want you to know that we have very much in common. For nothing in my life's path would have predicted that I'd be standing here as the first African-American First Lady of the United States 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。

米歇尔奥巴马民主党全国大会演讲稿(中英文)

奥巴马夫人米歇尔的演讲稿 First Lady Michelle Obama: Thank you so much, Elaine…we are so grateful for your family’s service and sacrifice…and we will always have your back. Over the past few years as First Lady, I have had the extraordinary privilege of traveling all across this country. And everywhere I’ve gone, in the people I’ve met, and the stories I’ve heard, I have seen the very best of the American spirit. I have seen it in the incredible kindness and warmth that people have shown me and my family, especially our girls. I’ve seen it in teachers in a near-bankrupt school district who vowed to keep teaching without pay. I’ve seen it in people who become heroes at a moment’s notice, diving into harm’s way to save others…flying across the country to put out a fire…driving for hours to bail out a flooded town. And I’ve seen it in our men and women in uniform and our proud military families…in wounded warriors who tell me they’re not just going to walk again, they’re going to run, and they’re going to run marathons…in the young man blinded by a bomb in Afghanistan who said, simply, “…I’d give my eyes 100 times again to have the chance to do what I have done and what I can still do.” Every day, the people I meet inspire me…every day, they make me proud…every day they remind me how blessed we are to live in the greatest nation on earth. Serving as your First Lady is an honor and a privilege…but back when we first came together four years ago, I still had some concerns about this journey we’d begun. While I believe d deeply in my husband’s vision for this country…and I was certain he would make an extraordinary President…like any mother, I was worried about what it would mean for our girls if he got that chance. How would we keep them grounded under the glare of the national spotlight? How would they feel being uprooted from their school, their friends, and the only home they’d ever known?

米歇尔北大演讲 鼓励学生走出国门留学

米歇尔北大演讲鼓励学生走出国门留学 美国第一夫人米歇尔26日结束了为期一周的访华之旅。从北京到西安、成都,第一夫人到得最多的地方,应该是学校,进了一所大学——北京大学、两所高中——北师大二附中和成都七中,接触最多的应该是中国学生,她分别在北大和成都七中做了两场演讲,在北师大二附中和成都七中,有学生一起上课,学书法、学打太极。可谓名副其实的“教育之旅”。 对于米歇尔在北大和两所中学的活动,有舆论称,第一夫人做了最好的“留学代言”,会有更多的学生选择出国留学。因为她在北大演讲的主题,就集中在留学上,她说,“读万卷书,不如行万里路”,“出国留学绝不仅是改善你们自己的未来,它也关乎塑造你们的国家、关乎我们共有的世界的未来。”第一夫人确实极力鼓励学生走出国门留学,但要把这理解为留美代言,就会错意了。 留学是双向的,第一夫人在鼓励中国学生出国留学时,也鼓励美国学生到中国来留学,倡导“通过跨越国界,学会在彼此身上看到我们自己,和用共同的决心应对我们共同的挑战。”这是我们在全球化时代,必须建立起的国际教育价值观。 米歇尔在北大演讲中提到,“美国正在推进将高中生、大学生和研究生送到这里来学习中文,我们正邀请中国老师到美国教授普通话。”在演讲结束为白宫官网写的旅行日志中,米歇 “不仅可以获得尔肯定了美国学生来到北京大学这样一所历史悠久的顶级名校所带来的收获: 在中国日常生活的一手资料,锻炼自己的汉语,并且有望交到一生的中国挚友。”并意犹未尽地写道,“在今天这个全球化程度日益加深、相互关联度日益加强的经济体中,美国公司与世界各国公司既有合作,也有竞争。通过留学,掌握一门外语,熟悉他国文化,必定会为自己的求职加分。”也就是说,第一夫人也大力鼓励美国学生出国留学。 但这些被淹没在我国的出国留学热潮中了,因为总体看来,我国选择欧美国家作为出国留学攻读学位目的国者,多于欧美学生选择我国留学攻读学位者,尤其是到美国留学,增幅惊人,留学还未形成双向交流之势,还呈现为单向流动。怪不得米歇尔演讲之后,有出国留学中介机构就称,到美留学会进一步掀起热潮。 这显然并不符合第一夫人的本意,她表示,“无论是气候变化、经济机遇,还是核武器扩散一一这些都是我们共同的挑战。没有任何一个国家能够单独应对它们……唯一的出路就是共同携手。”而双向平等的跨国学习,恰是我国面临的最大教育挑战。在这方面,米歇尔用自己的行动,为我国面对的挑战给出了部分答案。 首先,必须有平等的理念,充满自信,不要自视低人一等。 这对选择留学者来说至关重要。调查显示,我国留学生相对国外学生,最大的欠缺之一,就是自信心不足,而米歇尔说,“通过出国留学,你们不仅在改变自己的人生,也在改变你所遇到的每个人的人生。正像伟大的美国总统约翰?肯尼迪谈到留学美国的外国学生时说的那样,‘我想他们所教的比他们学到的还要多。’而对出国学习的年径美国人来说也是一样的。”换言之,出国留学本就是一个双向学习过程,外国的学生也会因为国际生的到来,接受多元文化的熏陶,这也是国外大学、中学推进国际化,招收留学生的重要原因,在加拿大,各学区甚至有专门的国际处,负责招收、管理国际学生。
