演讲稿 奥巴马的英语演讲稿

It is an honor to stand before you today and share a few thoughts that have guided me throughout my life. I am Barack Obama, and I am grateful for the opportunity to speak to you about the power of hope, thestrength of unity, and the resilience of the human spirit.In a world that is often divided and filled with uncertainty, it is easy to become discouraged. But I believe that within each of us lies a spark of hope that can light the darkest of times. It is this hope that has brought me to this stage today, and it is this hope that has the powerto transform our world.Let us begin by acknowledging the challenges that we face. Our planet is in peril, with climate change threatening the very existence of life as we know it. Our economy is recovering, but far too many of our citizens are still struggling to find a job and provide for their families. Our political system is polarized, with too many leaders more concerned with their own interests than with the well-being of the people they serve.Yet, in the face of these challenges, I see a generation of young people who are not just ready to take on these problems, but who are already doing so. You, the young leaders of tomorrow, are the ones who will find the solutions to the problems that we have created. And I want to tell you that I have faith in you.I believe that the answer to our problems lies not in the hands of a few, but in the hearts and minds of many. It is in the collective power ofour communities, our nations, and our world that we will find the strength to overcome adversity.First, let us talk about hope. Hope is the belief that something better is possible, that we can overcome even the most difficult of circumstances. It is the belief that we are not defined by our challenges, but by our response to them.In my own life, I have faced many challenges. As a young man, I grew up without a father, and I watched my mother struggle to provide for us. I have seen poverty and hardship in my own community, and I have witnessed the pain of injustice and inequality.But through it all, I held onto hope. I believed that my life had purpose, and that I had the power to make a difference. It was this hope that led me to become a community organizer, and it was this hope that led me to run for president.I know that many of you have faced similar challenges. You have seen the struggles of your families and your communities, and you have felt the weight of adversity. But do not let these challenges define you. Instead, let them fuel your determination to make a better world.Next, let us talk about unity. Unity is the understanding that we areall connected, that our fates are intertwined, and that our success depends on the success of each other. It is the recognition thatdiversity is not a weakness, but a strength.In the United States, we have always been a nation of immigrants, a nation built on the dreams and aspirations of people from every cornerof the globe. Our diversity has been our greatest strength, and it is what has made us the most powerful nation on Earth.But in recent years, we have seen a rise in divisiveness and polarization. We have seen too many people turned against each other based on race, religion, or political beliefs. And this division is not just harmful to our country, it is harmful to the world.We must come together, not as Democrats or Republicans, not as black or white, not as Muslim or Christian, but as human beings. We mustrecognize that we have more in common than what divides us, and that our unity is our greatest strength.Finally, let us talk about resilience. Resilience is the ability to bounce back from adversity, to rise above the challenges that lifethrows at us. It is the understanding that we are more than the sum of our struggles, that we have the power to overcome even the mostdifficult of circumstances.Throughout history, there have been countless examples of resilience. From the civil rights movement to the struggle for women's suffrage,from the fall of the Berlin Wall to the rise of the Arab Spring, people have shown that we can overcome even the most daunting of challenges.And it is in our resilience that we find our greatest source of strength. When we face adversity, we do not give up. We stand up, we fight back, and we never lose sight of our ultimate goal.So, as we move forward, let us carry these three principles with us: hope, unity, and resilience. Let us remember that we are not alone inthis journey, that we are part of a larger community that is counting on us to lead the way.To the young people of this generation, I say to you: you have the power to change the world. You have the energy, the creativity, and the determination to make a difference. Do not be afraid to dream big, to take risks, and to challenge the status quo.To those who are already making a difference, I say to you: keep going. Keep pushing forward, even when the path is difficult. Your efforts are not in vain, and your impact will be felt for generations to come.To all of you, I say: believe in yourself. Believe in the power of your dreams. Believe that you can make a difference, and that together, wecan create a brighter future for all.In the end, it is not the size of our dreams that matters, but the courage to pursue them. It is not the strength of our convictions that matters, but the commitment to act on them. It is not the number of obstacles that we face, but the number of times we rise to meet them.Ladies and gentlemen, the future is in our hands. Let us embrace the power of hope, the strength of unity, and the resilience of the human spirit. Together, we can and we will build a world that is more just, more prosperous, and more free.Thank you. God bless you, and God bless the United States of America.---This speech has been crafted to reflect the inspirational and motivational style of Barack Obama's public addresses. It touches on themes of hope, unity, and resilience, and is intended to be a鼓舞人心的演讲，适合在激励人心或毕业典礼等场合使用。

It's the answer told by lines that stretched around schools and churches in numbers this nation has never seen; by people who waited three hours and four hours, many for the very first time in their lives, because they believed that this time must be different; that their voice could be that difference. It's the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, black, white, Latino, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled - Americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been a collection of Red States and Blue States: we are, and always will be, the United States of America. It's the answer that led those who have been told for so long by so many to be cynical, and fearful, and doubtful of what we can achieve to put their hands on the arc of history and bend it once more toward the hope of a better day. 第 2 页

奥巴马演讲中英文对照版Ladies and Gentlemen:女士们，先生们：Today is the 37th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court decision that recognized the constitutional right toprivacy and dignity in a woman’s most personal decisions about her health, her family, and her future.今天是作出保障妇女在其个人健康，家庭以及未来的自由决定的宪法权利上所公认的Roe v. Wade法令37周年纪念日。

而且也更加温和、委婉地纪念; 在Roe法令37年期间，我们见证了一代年轻人在他们拥有控制自己生殖决策权的环境中长大。

事实上，今天的年轻人可能甚至连Roe以前的时代都不太记得。

但我们也不能忘记那些来之前我们的勇敢女性以及和他们一起奋战的勇敢男女，他们有勇气要求自己最私密的决定被视作一项基本的人权。

这也是我们今天聚集在此的原因--要重申这个基本真理，并再次致力于保护妇女在全世界的生殖权利以及机会，不管她们的收入或背景如何。

This moment should not be about politics, it should be about, as Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg reminded us, “the decision whether and when to bear a child” being in the hands of women themselves.这一刻不应是关于政治，而是，正如法官鲁丝·巴德·金斯伯格曾提醒过的，“是否及何时有孩子”这项决定应在女性自己手中。

而且，虽然保护妇女权利和自主的斗争不会于今天就结束。

Ladies and Gentlemen,It is a great honor and a privilege to stand before you today at the University of Cape Town. As I look out at this vibrant campus, I am reminded of the incredible potential that lies within each of you. You are the future leaders, innovators, and change-makers of this world. And it is here, in this moment, that I want to share with you a message of hope, a call to service, and a vision for a brighter future.First, let me extend my deepest gratitude to the University of Cape Town for inviting me to speak to you today. Your commitment to excellence, to fostering intellectual curiosity, and to promoting social justice is an inspiration to us all. Your university is a beacon of light in a world that desperately needs more beacons of light.As I stand before you, I am reminded of the history of this great institution. The University of Cape Town has a long and proud tradition of standing up for what is right, of challenging the status quo, and of embracing the diversity of thought and experience. This tradition is evident in the struggles of your predecessors, who fought against apartheid and for the freedom and dignity of all people. It is a tradition that continues to shape the character of this university, and it is a tradition that I deeply admire.Today, we live in a world that is more interconnected than ever before. Advances in technology have brought people closer together, allowing us to share ideas, to learn from one another, and to build a more just and prosperous world. Yet, with this interconnectedness comes great challenges. We face a world that is divided by conflict, by inequality, and by a lack of hope.As young people, you have the power to shape this world. You have the power to bridge the divides that separate us, to overcome the challenges that confront us, and to build a future that is brighter than the one we inherited. But this requires a commitment to service, to action, and to the common good.Let me share with you a story that has inspired me throughout my life.It is the story of a young girl named Malala Yousafzai, who stood up for the right to education in her native Pakistan. Despite facing grave threats to her life, Malala continued to advocate for the rights ofgirls and women, inspiring millions around the world. Her courage and determination remind us that even in the darkest times, hope can befound in the hearts of young people who are willing to stand up for what is right.As you embark on your journey of learning and discovery, I urge you to consider the following questions:1. What is your purpose? What drives you to get out of bed each morning? What are you passionate about? Answering these questions will help you stay focused and committed to your goals.2. How can you make a difference? What is your unique talent, your special skill, that you can use to contribute to the world? Whether itis through science, technology, art, or service, there is a way for each of you to make a meaningful impact.3. Who will you serve? Will you choose to serve the few, or will you serve the many? Will you choose to serve your own interests, or will you choose to serve the common good? The answer to this question will define the legacy you leave behind.As you answer these questions, I want to share with you three principles that I believe can guide you on your path:1. Education is the most powerful weapon you can use to change the world. It is the key to unlocking the potential within each of us. Invest in your education, and continue to learn and grow throughout your life.2. Service is the best expression of our gratitude. When we give back to our communities, we not only help others, but we also find fulfillment and purpose in our own lives. Find opportunities to serve, and make a difference in the lives of others.3. Leadership is about the ability to inspire others to join you in a common cause. It is not about power or authority, but about the power of your ideas and the strength of your character. Lead with humility, compassion, and integrity.As you leave this campus, take with you these three principles. Let them guide your actions, shape your decisions, and inspire your dreams. Remember that you are part of a larger story, a story of human progress, a story of hope and possibility.In closing, I want to leave you with a quote from Nelson Mandela, who once said, "Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world." As you embrace the power of education, as you commit to service, and as you lead with courage and conviction, you will change the world.Thank you, and may God bless you all.[Applause]。

Today, I stand before you to share my thoughts and inspirations aboutone of the most remarkable figures in modern history, Barack Obama. Barack Obama, the 44th President of the United States, has left an indelible mark on the world with his inspiring leadership, vision, and unwavering commitment to equality, justice, and progress. In this speech, I will discuss the qualities that made Obama an extraordinary leader and how his story can serve as a source of inspiration for all of us.First and foremost, Barack Obama's journey to the presidency is a testament to the power of perseverance and resilience. Born to a Kenyan father and a white American mother, Obama faced numerous challenges throughout his life. As a child, he lived in Indonesia, where he experienced cultural diversity and learned the importance of tolerance and understanding. However, he also grappled with his identity and the racial prejudices that existed in society.Despite these obstacles, Obama never gave up on his dreams. He pursued higher education, attending prestigious universities such as Columbiaand Harvard Law School. His academic achievements and leadershipqualities earned him the respect and admiration of his peers. However,it was his ability to inspire and connect with people that truly set him apart.One of the most remarkable qualities of Barack Obama was his unwavering commitment to equality and justice. As a community organizer in Chicago, he worked tirelessly to improve the living conditions of low-income families and fought for fair housing policies. His passion for social justice continued throughout his political career, as he advocated for healthcare reform, immigration reform, and the advancement of civil rights.Barack Obama's presidency was marked by significant achievements that have had a lasting impact on the world. His administration passed the Affordable Care Act, ensuring that millions of Americans had access to affordable healthcare. He also worked to restore diplomatic relations with Cuba and negotiated the Iran nuclear deal, reducing the risk of nuclear proliferation in the Middle East.Furthermore, Obama's leadership in promoting climate change action and his commitment to renewable energy have set an example for the rest of the world. He has emphasized the importance of taking responsibility for our planet and working together to combat climate change, which is a critical issue that affects us all.Another reason why Barack Obama is an inspiring figure is his ability to bridge divides and unite people. Throughout his presidency, he faced unprecedented levels of polarization and divisiveness in American politics. Despite these challenges, he remained focused on finding common ground and bringing people together. His speeches and public appearances were often characterized by his ability to inspire hope and encourage unity, reminding us that we are all part of a larger community with shared values and aspirations.Barack Obama's legacy extends beyond his time in office. His vision for a more just and equitable society has inspired a new generation of leaders and activists. His message of hope and possibility has resonated with people around the world, proving that even in the face of adversity, change is possible.As we reflect on the life and presidency of Barack Obama, we can draw several lessons that can serve as a source of inspiration for all of us:1. Perseverance: Obama's journey to the presidency is a reminder that success is not always immediate. It requires hard work, determination, and the willingness to overcome obstacles.2. Commitment to Justice: Obama's unwavering commitment to equality and justice serves as a reminder that we all have a responsibility to stand up for what is right and fight for the rights of others.3. Unity: Obama's ability to unite people across political and cultural divides is a testament to the power of empathy, understanding, and respect for others.4. Vision: Obama's vision for a more just and equitable society has inspired a new generation of leaders and activists to work towards a better future.In conclusion, Barack Obama's presidency has left an indelible mark on the world, and his story serves as a source of inspiration for all of us. His qualities of perseverance, commitment to justice, ability to unite people, and vision for a better future have made him an extraordinary leader. As we continue to face challenges and strive for a more just and equitable world, let us draw inspiration from Barack Obama's legacy and strive to be the change we wish to see in the world.Thank you.。

奥巴马开学演讲稿全文（英文版）作为学生，我们不得不主动学习的精彩演讲THE PRESIDENT: Hello, everybody! Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, everybody. All right, everybody go ahead and have a seat. How is everybody doing today? (Applause.) How about Tim Spicer? (Applause.) I am here with students at Wakefield High School in Arlington, Virginia. And we've got students tuning in from all across America, from kindergarten through 12th grade. And I am just so glad that all could join us today. And I want to thank Wakefield for being such an outstanding host. Give yourselves a big round of applause. (Applause.)I know that for many of you, today is the first day of school. And for those of you in kindergarten, or starting middle or high school, it's your first day in a new school, so it's understandable if you're a little nervous. Iimagine there are some seniors out there who are feeling pretty good right now -- (applause) -- with just one more year to go. And no matter what grade you're in, some of you are probably wishing it were still summer and you could've stayed in bed just a little bit longer this morning.I know that feeling. When I was young, my family lived overseas. I lived in Indonesia for a few years. And my mother, she didn't have the money to send me where all the American kids went to school, but she thought it was important for me to keep up with an American education. So she decided to teach me extra lessons herself, Monday through Friday. But because she had to go to work, the only time she could do it was at 4:30 in the morning.Now, as you might imagine, I wasn't too happy about getting up that early. And a lot of times, I'd fall asleep right there at the kitchen table. But whenever I'd complain, my mother would just give me one of those looks and she'dsay, "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'regood 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 wantto 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 anddiscrimination, 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 kidshad. 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.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.Some of you might not have those advantages. Maybe you don't have adults in your life who give you the support thatyou 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.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.Where you are right 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.That's what young people like you are doing every day,all across America.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.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.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, shemanaged 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.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.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. Maybe you'll decide to get involved in an extracurricular activity, or volunteerin 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.But whatever you resolve to do, I want you to commit to it. I want you to really work at it.I know that sometimes you get that sense from TV that you can be rich and successful without any hard work -- that your ticket to success is through rapping or basketball or being a reality TV star. Chances are you're not going to be any of those things.The truth is, being successful is hard. You won't love every subject that you study. You won't click with every teacher that you have. Not every homework assignment will seem completely relevant to your life right at this minute. And you won't necessarily succeed at everything the first time you try.That's okay. Some of the most successful people in the world are the ones who've had the most failures. J.K. Rowling's -- who wrote Harry Potter -- her first Harry Potter book was rejected 12 times before it was finally published. Michael Jordan was cut from his high school basketball team. He lost hundreds of games and missed thousands of shots during his career. But he once said, "I have failed over and over and over again in my life. And that's why I succeed."These people succeeded because they understood thatyou can't let your failures define you -- you have to let your failures teach you. You have to let them show you what to do differently the next time. So if you get into trouble, that doesn't mean you're a troublemaker, it means you need to try harder to act right. If you get a bad grade, that doesn't mean you're stupid, it just means you need to spend more time studying.No one's born being good at all things. You become good at things through hard work. You're not a varsity athlete the first time you play a new sport. You don't hit every note the first time you sing a song. You've got to practice. The same principle applies to your schoolwork. You might have to do a math problem a few times before you get it right. You might have to read something a few times before you understand it. You definitely have to do a few drafts of a paper before it's good enough to hand in.Don't be afraid to ask questions. Don't be afraid toask for help when you need it. I do that every day. Asking for help isn't a sign of weakness, it's a sign of strength because it shows you have the courage to admit when you don't know something, and that then allows you to learn something new. So find an adult that you trust -- a parent, a grandparent or teacher, a coach or a counselor -- and ask them to help you stay on track to meet your goals.And even when you're struggling, even when you're discouraged, and you feel like other people have given up on you, don't ever give up on yourself, because when you give up on yourself, you give up on your country.The story of America isn't about people who quit when things got tough. It's about people who kept going, who tried harder, who loved their country too much to do anything less than their best.It's the story of students who sat where you sit 250years ago, and went on to wage a revolution and they founded this nation. Young people. Students who sat where you sit 75 years ago who overcame a Depression and won a world war; who fought for civil rights and put a man on the moon. Students who sat where you sit 20 years ago who founded Google and Twitter and Facebook and changed the way we communicate with each other.So today, I want to ask all of you, what's your contribution going to be? What problems are you going to solve? What discoveries will you make? What will a President who comes here in 20 or 50 or 100 years say about what all of you did for this country?Now, your families, your teachers, and I are doing everything we can to make sure you have the education you need to answer these questions. I'm working hard to fix up your classrooms and get you the books and the equipment and the computers you need to learn. But you've got to do yourpart, too. So I expect all of you to get serious this year.I expect you to put your best effort into everything you do. I expect great things from each of you. So don't let us down. Don't let your family down or your country down. Most of all, don't let yourself down. Make us all proud.Thank you very much, everybody. God bless you. God bless America. Thank you. (Applause.)。

McCain. He fought long and hard in this campaign, and he's fought even longer and harder for the country he loves. He has endured sacrifices for America that most of us cannot begin to imagine, and we are better off for the service rendered by this brave and selfless leader. I congratulate him and Gov. Palin for all they have achieved, and I look forward to working with them to renew this nation's promise in the months ahead.I want to thank my partner in this journey, a man who campaigned from his heart and spoke for the men and women he grew up with on the streets of Scranton and rode with on that train home to Delaware, the vice-president-elect of the United States, Joe Biden.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 and Malia, I love you both so much, and you have earned the new puppy that's coming with us tothe 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.。

Nong hao! Good afternoon. It is a great honor for me to be here in Shanghai, and to have this opportunity to speak with all of you. I'd like to thank Fudan University's President Yang for his hospitality and his gracious welcome. I'd also like to thank our outstanding Ambassador, Jon Huntsman, who exemplifies the deep ties and respect between our nations. I don't know what he said, but I hope it was good. (Laughter.)侬好！诸位下午好。

我感到很荣幸能够有机会到上海跟你们交谈，我要感谢复旦大学的杨校长，感谢他的款待和热情的欢迎。

我还想感谢我们出色的大使洪博培，他是我们两国间深厚的纽带。

我不知道他刚才说什么，但是希望他说得很好。

What I'd like to do is to make some opening comments, and then what I'm really looking forward to doing is taking questions, not only from students who are in the audience, but also we've received questions online, which will be asked by some of the students who are here in the audience, as well as by Ambassador Huntsman. And I am very sorry that my Chinese is not as good as your English, but I am looking forward to this chance to have a dialogue.我今天准备这样，先做一个开场白，我真正希望做的是回答在座的问题，不但回答在座的学生问题，同时还可以从网上得到一些问题，由在座的一些学生和洪博培大使代为提问。

Change Has Come to AmericaNovember, 04, 2008, Barack ObamaHello, 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 spoke n 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。

《奥巴马演讲稿》奥巴马演讲稿（一）：MR. OBAMA: Thank you。

Thank you so much。

Vice President Biden，Mr. ChiefJustice， Members of the United States Congress， distinguished guests， and fellowcitizens:多谢，十分感谢大家。

拜登副总统、首席大法官先生、国会议员们、尊敬的各位嘉宾、亲爱的公民们。

Each time we gather to inaugurate a president， we bear witness to theenduring strength of our Constitution。

We affirm the promise of our democracy。

We recall that what binds this nation together is not the colors of our skin orthe tenets of our faith or the origins of our names。

What makes us exceptionalwhat makes us American is our allegiance to an idea，articulated in adeclaration made more than two centuries ago:每一次我们集会庆祝总统就职都是在见证美国宪法的持久力量。

我们都是在肯定美国民主的承诺。

我们重申，将这个国家紧密联系在一齐的不是我们的肤色，也不是我们信仰的教条，更不是我们名字的来源。

让我们与众不一样，让我们成为美国人的是我们对于一种理念的恪守。

200多年前，这一理念在一篇宣言中被清晰阐述：We hold these truths to be self-evident， that all men are created equal，that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights， thatamong these are Life， Liberty， and the pursuit of Happiness。

Ladies and Gentlemen,Good morning. It is an honor to stand before you today and share some thoughts that have deeply resonated with me throughout my life. As you gather here, each of you carries a story, a journey, and a dream. And it is in the telling of these stories and the pursuit of these dreams that I find the greatest inspiration.I want to talk to you about the power of determination. Determination is not just about willpower; it is about resilience, it is about hope, and it is about the belief that each of us has the capacity to change our lives and the world around us.Let me take you back to a moment that shaped my own determination. It was the summer of 1991, and I was just a young community organizer in Chicago. I had spent months knocking on doors, listening to the stories of working families who were struggling to make ends meet. I had seen the hope in their eyes, and I had felt the weight of their dreams on my shoulders.It was in those moments that I realized the true power of community. I saw that when we come together, our collective strength can overcome even the most daunting challenges. But I also saw that individual determination was the spark that ignited that collective power.So, I made a promise to myself. I promised that I would fight for these families, that I would fight for a fairer America, and that I would never give up, no matter how difficult the road ahead might be.Fast forward to 2004, and I stood before you as a candidate for the United States Senate. I remember the words I spoke that day: "Hope is not blind optimism. It is not a passive resignation to the flow of events. Hope is the belief that we can make a difference."These words have guided me ever since. They remind us that hope is a powerful force, but it is not enough on its own. Hope must be accompanied by action, by determination, and by the courage to face our fears.In 2008, I stood before you as a candidate for the presidency. I spoke of a new dawn, a time when we would come together to tackle the great challenges of our time. I spoke of a country that would once again lead the world not just with our might, but with our moral courage.We were not just elected to serve; we were elected to lead. And lead we did. We faced economic turmoil, global conflict, and a host of other challenges. But through it all, we never lost sight of our goals. We never forgot the faces of the Americans who had sent us to Washington to make their lives better.We fought for healthcare reform because we believed that no one in America should go without the care they need. We fought for the Recovery Act because we knew that we had to put people back to work and get our economy moving again. We fought for climate change legislation because we understood that the future of our planet depends on our actions today.And in each of these battles, we saw the power of determination. We saw that when we stand together, we can achieve the impossible. We saw that when we are determined to make a difference, we can change the course of history.Now, as I stand before you today, I want to share some lessons I have learned along the way.First, determination requires resilience. Life will throw curveballs at you. You will face setbacks and obstacles that seem insurmountable. But if you are determined, you will find a way to rise above them. You will find the strength to keep going, even when others might give up.Second, determination requires hope. Hope is the fuel that keeps us going. It is the belief that, no matter how dark the night may seem, the dawn will come. It is the faith that, if we work together, we can make a difference.Third, determination requires action. It is not enough to have good intentions. We must take those intentions and turn them into action. We must roll up our sleeves and get to work. We must engage in the messybusiness of politics, of community organizing, of activism, because that is where change happens.Fourth, determination requires the courage to be different. Sometimes, the path you choose will not be the easy one. It will not be the paththat everyone else is taking. But if you are determined to make a difference, you must be willing to stand apart, to be different, and to lead the way.Ladies and Gentlemen, my friends, we live in a time of great uncertainty. The world is changing rapidly, and with change comes both opportunityand peril. But let us not be afraid. Let us not be daunted by the challenges that lie ahead. Let us be determined.Determined to fight for justice and equality. Determined to protect our planet for future generations. Determined to build a more perfect union, a more just and more peaceful world.Remember, determination is not just a word. It is a commitment. It is a promise to ourselves and to each other that we will never give up, no matter how hard the fight might be.So, let us go forth with courage and with hope. Let us go forth with determination. And let us make our mark on the world, because the future is ours to shape, and the power of determination is ours to wield.Thank you. God bless you. And may God bless the United States of America.。

奥巴马_my_education_my_future_的英文演讲稿第一篇：奥巴马_my_education_my_future_的英文演讲稿1.2.3.4.5.6.7.Hello everyoneat 4:30 in the morning.Now I wasn't too happy about getting up that early.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 say, “This is no picnic for me either, buster.”So I know 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 a lot about responsibility.I've talked about your teachers' responsibility for inspiring you, and pushing you to learn.I've talked about your parents' responsibility for making sure you stay on track, and get your homework done, and don't spend every waking hour in front of the TV or with that Xbox.I've talked a lot about your government's responsibility for setting high standards, supporting teachers and principals, and turning around schools that aren't working where students aren't getting the opportunities they deserve.But at the end of the day, we can have the most dedicated teachers, the most supportive parents, and the best schools in the worldmaybe even good enough to write a book or articles in a newspapermaybe even good enough to come up with the next iPhone or a new medicine or vaccineI 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 thosecareers.You can't drop out of school and just drop into a good job.You've got to work for it and train 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.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, skills and intellect so you can help solve our most difficult problems.If you don't do thatyou'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 that's like.My father left my family when I was two years old, and I was raised by a single mother who struggled at times to pay the bills and wasn't always able to give us things the other kids had.There were times when I missed having a father in my life.There were times when I was lonely and felt like I didn't fit in.So I wasn't always as focused as I should have been.I did some things I'm not proud of, and got in more trouble than I should have.And my life could have easily taken a turn for the worse.But I was fortunate.I got a lot of secondchances and had the opportunity to go to college, and law school, and follow my dreams.My wife, our First Lady Michelle Obama, has a similar story.Neither of her parents had gone to college, and they didn't have much.But they worked hard, and she worked hard, so that she could go to the best schools in this country.16.17.18.19.20.21.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.But at the end of the day, the circumstances of your lifethat's no excuse for neglecting your homework or having a bad attitude.That's no excuse for talking back to your teacher, or cutting class, or dropping out of school.That's no excuse for not trying.Where you are right now doesn't have to determine where you'll end up.No one's written your destiny for you.Here in America, you write your own destiny.You make your own future.That's what young people like you are doing every day, all across America.Young people like Jazmin Perez, from Roma, Texas.Jazmin didn't speak English when she first started school.Hardly anyone in her hometown went to college, and neither of her parents had gone either.But she worked hard, earned good grades, got a scholarship to Brown University, and is now in graduate school, studying public health, on her way to being Dr.Jazmin Perez.I'm thinking about Andoni Schultz, from Los Altos, California, who's fought brain cancer since he was three.He's endured all sorts of treatments and surgeries, one of which affected his memory, so it took him much longerto do his schoolwork.But he never fell behind, and he's headed to collegethis fall.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, she managed to get a job at a local health 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.Jazmin, Andoni and Shantell aren't any different from any of you.They faced challenges in their lives just like you do.But they refused to give up.They chose to take responsibility for their education and set goals for themselves.And I expect all of you to do the same.22.23.24.25.26.27.That's why today, I'm calling on each of you to set your own goals for your educationyou have to let them teach you.You have to let them show you what to do differently next time.If you get in trouble, that doesn't mean you're a troublemaker, it means you need to try harder to behave.If you get a bad grade, that doesn't mean you're stupid, it just means you need to spend more time studying.No one's born being good at things, you become good at things through hard work.You're not a varsity athlete the first time you play a new sport.You don't hit every note the first time you sing a song.You've got to practice.It's the same with your schoolwork.You might have to do a math problem a few times before you get it right, or read something a few times before you understand it, or do a few drafts of a paper before it's good enough to hand in.Don't be afraid to ask questions.Don't be afraid to ask for help when you need it.I do that every day.Asking for help isn't a sign of weakness, it's a 28.29.30.31.32.sign of strength.It shows you have the courage to admit when you don't know something, and to learn something new.So find an adult you trustand ask them to help you stay on track to meet yourgoals.And even when you're struggling, even when you're discouraged, and you feel like other people have given up on youdon't let your family or your country or yourself down.Make us all proud.I know you can do it.Thank you, God bless you, and God bless America.第二篇：奥巴马_my_education_my_future_的英文演讲稿Good morning,I would like to extend a warm welcome to president Barak Obama, secretary of Education ,Ally Dunken,White House staff,school board members,county board members, super intendent Dr.Patrid Muffi, Senior staff, Principal Rudolph Jackson，Wakefield faculty，and of course, my fellow classmates.I am honored to have been chosen to speak before my classmates as well as students across America today.Over the past three years, I have taken the advantage of every academic, extracurricular and community opportunity that has been presented to me.As I the scholar wrinting glad the better,being assigned to another class was an option.I was determined to excel.Therefore,I managed to succeed with an advancing class And maintaining focus along As I stand before my I want you to know that maybe handed to us,but as students, we must take responsibility for our future.We must take the ownership about what we want to learn.As senior The opportunitities, I would not be standing here before you to introduce the president of the United States as I not hereJust we are fortune to have president Barak Obama T o speak to us.We are also fortune toAt this time, it is a great honor and pride to have everyone to stand to welcome the man who proved Yes,we dies and gentlemen ,please join me to welcome the president of the United States of America, Barak Obama.Hello everyoneand noneof 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.And 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 writerbut you might not know it until you write that English class paper that assigned to you.Maybe you could be an innovator or an inventorbut 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 lifeif you quit on schoolwhat you look like, where you come from, how much money you have, what you've got going on at homehundreds of extra hoursand to 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 time each day reading a book.Maybe 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 kids 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, I hope you'll all wash your handsa lot, and stay home from school when you don't feel well, so we can keep people from getting the flu this fall and winter.Whatever you resolve to do, I want you to commit to it.I want you to really work at it.I know that sometimes, you get the sense from TV that you can be rich and successful without any hard work--that your ticket to success is through rapping or basketball or being a reality TV star, when chances are, you're not going to be any of those things.But the truth is, being successful is hard.You won't love every subject you study.You won't click with every teacher.Not every homework assignment will seem completely relevant to your life right this minute.And you won't necessarily succeed at everything the first time you try.That's OK.Some of the most successful people in the world are the ones who've had the most failures.JK Rowling's first Harry Potter book was rejected twelve times before it was finally published.Michael Jordan was cut from his high school basketball team, and he lost hundreds of games and missed thousands of shots during his career.But he once said, “I have failed over and over and over again in my life.And that is why I succeed.”These people succeeded because they understand that you can't let your failures define youa parent, grandparent or teacher;a coach or counselordon't ever give up on yourself.Because when you give up on yourself, you give up on your country.The story of America isn't about people who quit when things got tough.It's about people who kept going, who tried harder, who loved their country too much to do anything less than their best.It's the story of students who sat where you sit 250 years ago, and went on to wage a revolution and found this nation.Students who sat where you sit 75 years ago who overcame a Depression and won a world war;who fought for civilrights and put a man on the moon.Students who sat where you sit 20 years ago who founded Google, Twitter and Facebook and changed the way we communicate with each other.So today, I want to ask you, what's your contribution going to be? What problems are you going to solve? What discoveries will you make? What will a president who comes here in twenty or fifty or one hundred years say about what all of you did for this country? Your families, your teachers, and I are doing everything we can to make sure you have the education you need to answer these questions.I'm working hard to fix up your classrooms and get you the books, equipment and computers you need to learn.But you've got to do your part too.So I expect you to get serious this year.I expect you to put your best effort into everything you do.I expect great things from each of you.So don't let us down-don't let your family or your country or yourself down.Make us all proud.I know you can do it.Thank you, God bless you, and God bless America.第三篇：奥巴马英文演讲稿奥巴马英文演讲稿：签署金融改革法案THE PRESIDENT: Well, good morning, everyone.AUDIENCE: Good morning.THE PRESIDENT: We are gathered in the heart of our nation’s capital, surrounded by memorials to leaders and citizens who served our nation in its earliest days and in its days of greatest trial.Today is such a time for America.Over the past two years, we have faced the worst recession since the Great Depression.Eight million people lost their jobs.Tens of millions saw the value of their homes and retirement savings plummet.Countless businesses have been unable to get the loans they need and many have been forced to shut their doors.And although the economy is growing again, too many people arestill feeling the pain of the downturn.Now, while a number of factors led to such a severe recession, the primary cause was a breakdown in our financial system.It was a crisis born of a failure of responsibility from certain corners of Wall Street to the halls of power in Washington.For years, our financial sector was governed by antiquated and poorly enforced rules that allowed some to game the system and take risks that endangered the entire economy.Unscrupulous lenders locked consumers into complex loans with hidden costs.Firms like AIG placed massive, risky bets with borrowed money.And while the rules left abuse and excess unchecked, they also left taxpayers on the hook if a big bank or financial institution ever failed.Now, even before the crisis hit, I went to Wall Street and I called for common-sense reforms to protect consumers and our economy as a whole.And soon after taking office, I proposed a set of reforms to empower consumers and investors, to bring the shadowy deals that caused this crisis into the light of day, and to put a stop to taxpayer bailouts once and for all.(Applause.)Today, thanks to a lot of people in this room, those reforms will become the law of the land.For the last year, Chairmen Barney Frank and Chris Dodd have worked day and night--(applause)--Barney and Chris have worked day and night to bring about this reform.And I am profoundly grateful to them.I would be remiss if I didn't also express my appreciation to Senator Harry Reid and Speaker Nancy Pelosi for their leadership.It wouldn’t have happened without them.(Applause.)Passing this bill was no easy task.To get there, we had to overcome the furious lobbying of an array of powerful interest groups and a partisan minority determined to block change.So the members who are here today, both on the stage and in the audience, they have done a great service indevoting so much time and expertise to this effort, to looking out for the public interests and not the special interests.(Applause.)And I also want to thank the three Republican senators who put partisanship aside--(applause)--judged this bill on t he merits, and voted for reform.We’re grateful to them.(Applause.)And the Republican House members.(Applause.)Good to see you, Joe.(Applause.)Now, let’s put this in perspective.The fact is, the financial industry is central to our nation’s ability to grow, to prosper, to compete and to innovate.There are a lot of banks that understand and fulfill this vital role, and there are a whole lot of bankers who want to do right--and do right--by their customers.This reform will help foster innovation, not hamper it.It is designed to make sure that everybody follows the same set of rules, so that firms compete on price and quality, not on tricks and not on traps.It demands accountability and responsibility from everyone.It provides certainty to everybody, from bankers to farmers to business owners to consumers.And unless your business model depends on cutting corners or bilking your customers, you’ve got nothing to fear from reform.(Applause.)Now, for all those Americans who are wondering what Wall Street reform means for you, here’s what you can expect.If you’ve ever applied for a credit card, a student loan, or a mortgage, you know the feeling of signing your name to pages of barely understandable fine print.What often happens as a result is that many Americans are caught by hidden fees and penalties, or saddled with loans they can’t afford.That’s what happened to Robin Fox, hit with a massive rate increase on her credit card balance even though she paid her bills on time.That’s what happened to Andrew Giordano, who discovered hundreds of dollars in overdraft feeson his bank statement –-fees he had no idea he might face.Both are here today.Well, with this law, unfair rate hikes, like the one that hit Robin, will end for good.(Applause.)And we’ll ensure that people lik e Andrew aren’t unwittingly caught by overdraft fees when they sign up for a checking account.(Applause.)With this law, we’ll crack down on abusive practices in the mortgage industry.We’ll make sure that contracts are simpler-– putting an end to many hidden penalties and fees in complex mortgages-–so folks know what they’re signing.With this law, students who take out college loans will be provided clear and concise information about their obligations.And with this law, ordinary investors-– like seniors and folks saving for retirement –-will be able to receive more information about the costs and risks of mutual funds and other investment products, so that they can make better financial decisions as to what will work for them.So, all told, these reforms represent the strongest consumer financial protections in history.(Applause.)In history.And these protections will be enforced by a new consumer watchdog with just one job: looking out for people-–not big banks, not lenders, not investment houses-– looking out for people as they interact with the financial system.And that’s not just good for consumers;that’s good for the economy.Because reform will put a stop to a lot of the bad loans that fueled a debt-based bubble.And it will mean all companies will have to seek customers by offering better products, instead of more deceptive ones.Now, beyond the consumer protections I’ve outlined, reform will also rein in the abuse and excess that nearly brought down our financial system.It will finally bring transparency to the kinds of complex and risky transactions that helped trigger the financial crisis.Shareholders will also have a greater say on thepay of CEOs and other executives, so they can reward success instead of failure.And finally, because of this law, the American people will never again be asked to foot the bill for Wall Street’s mistakes.(Applause.)There will be no more tax-funded bailouts--period.(Applause.)If a large financial institution should ever fail, this reform gives us the ability to wind it down without endangering the broader economy.And there will be new rules to make clear that no firm is somehow protected because it is “too big to fail,” so we don’t have another AIG.That's what this reform will mean.Now, it doesn’t mean our work is over.For these new rules to be effective, regulators will have to be vigilant.We may need to make adjustments along the way as our financial system adapts to these new changes and changes around the globe.No law can force anybody to be responsible;it’s still incumben t on those on Wall Street to heed the lessons of this crisis in terms of how they conduct their businesses.The fact is every American-– from Main Street to Wall Street –-has a stake in our financial system.Wall Street banks and firms invest the capital that makes it possible for start-ups to sell new products.They provide loans to businesses to expand and to hire.They back mortgages for families purchasing a new home.That’s why we’ll all stand to gain from these reforms.We all win when investors around the world have confidence in our markets.We all win when shareholders have more power and more information.We all win when consumers are protected against abuse.And we all win when folks are rewarded based on how well they perform, not how well they evade accountability.In the end, our financial system only works –-our market is only free –-when there are clear rules and basic safeguards that prevent abuse, that check excess, that ensure that it is more profitable toplay by the rules than to game the system.An d that’s what these reforms are designed to achieve--no more, no less.Because that’s how we will ensure that our economy works for consumers, that it works for investors, that it works for financial institutions-– that it works for all of us.This is the central lesson not only of this crisis but of our history.Ultimately, there’s no dividing line between Main Street and Wall Street.We rise or fall together as one nation.So these reforms will help lift our economy and lead all of us to a stronger, more prosperous future.And that’s why I’m so honored to sign these reforms into law, and I’m so grateful to everybody who worked so hard to make this day possible.Thank you very much, everybody.(Applause.)(The bill is signed.)(Applause.)【相关中文报道】美国当地时间21日，美国金融监管进入新的时代。

奥巴马总统在白宫玫瑰园就《平价医疗法案》英语演讲稿THE PRESIDENT: Everybody, have a seat.MS. BAKER: Hello. My name is Janice Baker. I havethe privilege to say that I'm the firstperson in the state of Delaware to enrollfor health insurance through the new marketplace. (Applause.) Like many consumers out there, it took me a number of frustratingattempts beforeI could apply for and select my plan.I kept trying because I needed access to thenew healthcare options.I had applied to three privateinsurance companies only to be rejected due to preexistinghealthconditions. I am too young for Medicare,but I'm too old not to have some health issues. Iwas able to find a policy I am thrilled with, saving $150 a month, andmuch lower deductiblesthan my previous policy that I held through my smallbusiness.I'm here today to encourage otherpeople like me who needs access to quality, affordableinsurance, and to tellthem to have patience with such a new system. Without this ability toget this insurance, Iknow that a single hospital stay could have bankrupted me and mybusiness.Thank you all. And I am now honored to introduce thePresident of the United States. (Applause.)THE PRESIDENT: Great job.MS. BAKER: Thank you. Thank you.THE PRESIDENT: Thank you. (Applause.) Thank you,everybody. Well, thank you, Janice.And thanks to everybody here for coming onthis beautiful day. Welcome to the WhiteHouse.About three weeks ago, as thefederal government shut down,the Affordable Care Act'shealth insurancemarketplaces opened for business across the country. Well, we've now gottenthe government backopen for the American people, and today I want to talk about how we'regoing toget the marketplaces running at full steam, as well. And I'm joined today by folks whohave eitherbenefited from the Affordable Care Act already, or who are helping theirfellowcitizens learn about what this law means for them and how they can get covered.Of course, you've probably heardthat –- the new website where people canapply for healthinsurance, and browse and buy affordable plans in most states –- hasn'tworkedas smoothly as it was supposed to work. And the number of people who have visitedthe site has beenoverwhelming, which has aggravated some of these underlying problems.Despite all that, thousands ofpeople are signing up and saving money as we speak. ManyAmericans with a preexisting condition,like Janice, are discovering that they can finally gethealth insurance likeeverybody else.So today, I want to speak toevery American who's looking to get affordable healthinsurance. I want you to know what's available to youand why it may be a good deal for you.And for those who've had some problems with the website, I want to tellyou what we're doingto make it work better and how you can sign up to getcovered in other ways.But before I do that, let meremind everybody that the Affordable Care Act is not just awebsite. It's much more. For the vast majority of Americans -- for 85percent of Americanswho already have health insurance through your employer orMedicare or Medicaid -– you don'tneed to sign up for coverage through awebsite at all. You've already gotcoverage. WhattheAffordable Care Actdoes for you is to provide you with new benefits and protections that havebeenin place for some time. You may not knowit, but you're already benefiting from theseprovisions in the law.For example, because of theAffordable Care Act, young people like Jasmine Jennings, andJessica Ugalde,and Ezra Salop, all of whom are here today, they've been able to stay ontheirparents' plans until they're 26. Millions of other young people are currently benefiting fromthat part ofthe law. (Applause.) Another part of the Affordable Care Act isproviding seniors withdeeper discounts on their prescription medicine. Billions of dollars have been saved byseniorsalready. That's part of thelaw. It's already in place. It's happening right now.Already, because of theAffordable Care Act, preventive care like mammograms and birthcontrol are freethrough your employers. That's part ofthis law. (Applause.) So there are a widerange of consumerprotections and benefits that you already have if you've got healthinsurance.You may not have noticedthem, but you've got them, and they're not going anywhere. Andthey're not dependent on a website.Here's another thing that theAffordable Care Act does. In stateswhere governors andlegislatures have wisely allowed it, the Affordable CareAct provides the opportunity for manyAmericans to get covered under Medicaidfor the first time. So in Oregon, forexample, that'shelped cut the number of uninsured people by 10 percent just inthe last three weeks. Thinkaboutthat. That's 56,000 more Americans whonow have health care. (Applause.) That doesn'tdepend on a website.Now, if you're one of the 15percent of Americans who don't have health insurance -- eitherbecause you can'tafford it orbecause your employer doesn't offer it, or because you're asmallbusinessperson and you have to go out on the individual market and buy it onyour ownand it's just too expensive -- October 1st was an important date. That's when we opened thenew marketplaceswhere people without health insurance, or who can't afford healthinsurance, orwho aren't part of a group plan, can finally start getting affordable coverage.And the idea is simple. By enrolling in what we're calling thesemarketplaces, you becomepart of a big group plan -- as if you were working fora big employer -- a statewide group planthat spreads risk between sick peopleand healthy people, between young and old, and thenbargains on your behalf forthe best deal on health care. What we'vedone is essentially create acompetition where there wasn't competitionbefore. We created these big groupplans, and nowinsurers are really interested in getting your business. And so insurers have created new healthcareplans with more choices to be made available through these marketplaces.And as a result of this choiceand this competition, prices have come down. When you addthe new tax credits that many people are eligible forthrough the law, then the prices comedown even further. So one study shows that through new optionscreated by the Affordable CareAct, nearly 6 in 10 uninsured Americans willfind that they can get covered for less than $100 amonth. Think about that. (Applause.)Through the marketplaces, you canget health insurance for what may be the equivalentof your cell phone bill oryour cable bill, and that's a good deal.So the fact is the product of theAffordable Care Act for people without health insurance isquality healthinsurance that'saffordable. And thatproduct is working. It's reallygood. And itturns out there's a massivedemand for it. So far, the nationalwebsite, , has beenvisited nearly 20 million times. Twenty million times. (Applause.) And there's great demand atthe state level as well, because there are abunch of states that are running their ownmarketplaces.We know that nearly one-third ofthe people applying in Connecticut and Maryland, forexample, are under 35years old. They understand that they canget a good deal at low costs,have the security of health care, and this is notjust for old folks like me -- that everybodyneeds good quality healthinsurance. And all told, more than halfa million consumers across thecountry have successfully submitted applicationsthrough federal and state marketplaces. Andmany of those applications aren't just for individuals, it's fortheir entire families. So evenmorepeople are already looking to potentially take advantage of the high quality,affordableinsurance that is provided through the Affordable Care Act.So let me just recap here. The product is good. The health insurance that's being providedisgood. It's high quality and it'saffordable. People can save money,significant money, bygetting insurance that's being provided through thesemarketplaces. And we know thatthedemand is there. People are rushing tosee what's available. And those who havealready hada chance to enroll are thrilled with the result. Every day, people who were stuck withsky-highpremiums because of preexisting conditions are getting affordableinsurance for the first time, orfinding, like Janice did, that they're savinga lot of money. Every day, women arefinally buyingcoverage that doesn't charge them higher premiums than men forthe same care.(Applause.)Every day, people are discovering that newhealth insurance plans have to cover maternitycare, mental health care, freepreventive care.So you just heard Janice's story-- she owns her own small business. Sherecently became thefirst woman to enroll in coverage through Delaware'sexchange. And it's true, it took her afewtries, but it was worth it after being turned down for insurance threetimes due to minorpreexisting conditions. So now she'll be covered, she'll save 150 bucks a month, and shewon'thave to worry that one illness or accident will cost her her business that she'sworked sohard to build.And Janice is not alone. I recently received a letter from a womannamed Jessica Sanford inWashington State. And here's what she wrote: “I ama single mo m, no child support, self-employed, and I haven't had insurance for15 years because it's too expensive. Myson hasADHD and requires regular doctor visits and his meds alone cost $250per month. I have had anongoingtendinitis problem due to my line of work that I haven't had treated. Now, finally, weget to have coverage becauseof the ACA for $169 per month. I wascrying the other day when Isigned up. Somuch stress lifted.”Now, that is not untypical for alot of folks like Jessica who have been struggling withouthealthinsurance. That's what the AffordableCare Act is all about. The point is, theessence of thelaw -- the health insurance that's available to people -- isworking just fine. In somecases,actually, it's exceeding expectations -- the prices are lower than we expected,the choice isgreater than we expected.But the problem has been that the website that'ssupposed to make it easy to apply for andpurchase the insurance is notworkingthe way it should for everybody. Andthere's nosugarcoating it. The websitehas been too slow, people have been getting stuck during theapplicationprocess. And I think it's fair to saythat nobody is more frustrated by that than I am -- precisely because theproduct is good, I want the cash registers to work. I want the checkoutlines to be smooth. So I want people to be able to get this greatproduct. And there's no excusefor theproblems, and these problems are getting fixed.But while we're working out the kinks in thesystem, I want everybody to understand thenature of the problem. First of all, even with all the problems , the website isstill working for a lot of people -- just not asquick or efficient or consistent as we want. Andalthough many of these folks have found that they had to wait longerthan they wanted, oncethey complete the process they're very happy with thedeal that's available to them, just likeJanice's.Second, I want everybody toremember that we're only three weeks into a six-month openenrollment period,when you can buy these new plans. (Applause.) Keep in mind theinsurancedoesn't start until January 1st; that's the earliest that theinsurance can kick in. No one whodecidesto purchase a plan has to pay their first premium until December 15th. And unlike theday after Thanksgiving salesfor the latest Playstation or flat-screen TVs, the insurance plansdon't runout. They're not going to sell out. They'll be available through the marketplace-- (applause) -- throughout the open enrollment period. The prices that insurers have set willnotchange. So everybody who wants insurancethrough the marketplace will get insurance,period. (Applause.) Everybody who wants insurance through the marketplace will getinsurance.Third, we are doing everything wecan possibly do to get the websites working better, faster,sooner. We've got people working overtime, 24/7, toboost capacity and address the problems.Experts from some of America's top private-sector tech companies who, bythe way, have seenthings like this happen before, they want it to work. They're reaching out. They're offering tosend help. We've had some of the best IT talent in theentire country join the team. Andwe'rewell into a “tech surge” to fix the problem. And we are confident that we will get all theproblems fixed.Number four -- while the websitewill ultimately be the easiest way to buy insurancethrough the marketplace, itisn't the only way. And I want toemphasize this. Even as weredouble ourefforts to get the site working as well as it's supposed to, we're alsoredoubling ourefforts to make sure you can still buy the same quality,affordable insurance plans availableon the marketplace the old-fashioned way-- offline, either over the phone or in person.And, by the way, there are a lotof people who want to take advantage of this who are morecomfortable workingon the phone anyway or in person. So letme go through the specifics as tohow you can do that if you're having problemswith the website or you just prefer dealing witha person.Yesterday, we updated the website'shome page to offer more information about the otheravenues to enroll inaffordable health care until the online option works for everybody. So you'llfind information about how to talkto a specialist who can help you apply over the phone or toreceive adownloadable application you can fill out yourself and mail in.We've also added more staff tothe call centers where you canapply for insurance over thephone. Those are already -- they've beenworking. But a lot of people havedecided first to go tothe website. Butkeep in mind, these call centers are already up and running. And you can getyour questions answered byreal people, 24 hours a day, in 150 different languages. The phonenumber for these call centers is1-800-318-2596. I want to repeat that --1-800-318-2596. Waittimes have averagedless than one minute so far on the call centers, although I admit that thewaittimes probably might go up a little bit now that I've read the number out loudon nationaltelevision. (Laughter.)But the point is the call centersare available. You can talk to somebodydirectly and theycan walk you through the application process. And I guarantee you, if one thing is worththewait, it's the safety and security of health care that you can afford, orthe amount of moneythat you can save by buying health insurance through themarketplaces. (Applause.)Once you get on the phone with atrained representative, it usually takes about 25minutes for an individual toapply for coverage, about 45 minutes for a family. Once you applyfor coverage, you will becontacted by email or postal mail about your coverage status.But you don't have to just gothrough the phone. You can also apply inperson with the helpof local navigators -–these are people specially trainedto help you sign up for health care, andthey exist all across the country, oryou can go to community health centers and hospitals. Justvisit to findout where in your area you can get help and apply forinsurance in person.And finally, if you've alreadytried to apply through the website and you've been stucksomewhere along theway, do not worry. In the coming weeks,we will contact youdirectly,personally, with a concrete recommendation forhow you can complete your application,shop for coverage, pick a plan thatmeets your needs, and get covered once and for all.So here's the bottom line. The product, the health insurance isgood. The prices are good.It is a good deal. People don't just want it; they're showing upto buy it. Nobody is madder thanmeabout the fact that the website isn't working as well as it should, which meansit's going toget fixed. (Laughter andapplause.)。

奥巴马的演讲（共五则范文）第一篇：奥巴马的演讲The truth is, being successful is hard. You won’t love every subject that you study. You won’t click with every teacher that you have. Not every homework assignment will seem completely relevant to your life right atthis minute. And you won’t necessarily succeed at everything the first time you try.事实上，取得成功不是轻而易举的事情。

你不会喜欢你学习的每一门课目。

你不会与你的每一位老师都很投契。

不是所有的家庭作业似乎都与你眼前的生活完全有关。

你第一次尝试做每件事的时候，不一定成功。

That’s okay. Some of the most successful people in the world are the ones who’ve had the most failures. J.K. Rowling’s -- who wrote Harry Potter -- her first Harry Potter book was rejected 12 times before it was finally published. Michael Jordan was cut from his high school basketball team.He lost hundreds of games and missed thousands of shots during his career. Buthe once said, “I have failed over and over and over again in my life. Andthat’s why I succeed.”这些都没关系。
