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。
第 1 页 奥巴马演讲稿 篇一:奥巴马就职演讲稿(英汉对照) 奥巴马英文就职演讲稿 If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible; who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time; who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer. It's the answer told by lines that stretched around schools and churches in numbers this nation has never seen; by people who waited three hours and four hours, many for the very first time in their lives, because they believed that this time must be different; that their voice could be that difference. It's the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, black, white, Latino, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled - Americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been a collection of Red States and Blue States: we are, and always will be, the United States of America. It's the answer that led those who have been told for so long by so many to be cynical, and fearful, and 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.

刘慈欣英语演讲稿 Ladies and Gentleman, Good evening! Its my great honor to receive the Clarke Award for Imagination in Service to Society. Thank you. This award is a reward for imagination. Imagination is a capability that should have exclusive belonged to God but we, as human beings, luckily have this too. It is far beyond our imagination to grasp the meaning of the existence of imagination. A historian used to say that the main reason why human beings have been able to surpass other species on earth and to build civilizations is that we are able to create something in our heads that does not exist in reality. In the future, when artificial intelligence becomes smarter than us, imagination may be the only advantage we have over AI. Science fiction is a literary genre based on imagination. And the first sci-fi works that impressed me were those by Arthur C. Clarke. Together with Jules Verne and George Wells, Arthur Clarke was among the first 奥巴马的英语演讲稿 Western modern sci-fi writers to enter China. In the early xxs, the two novels xx: A Space Odyssey and Rendezvous With Rama were published in my country. At that time, the Cultural Revolution just ended. While the old life and faith had collapsed, the new ones had not yet been established. Like other young people, I felt lost during that period. These two books, for the first time, however, brought my imagination to life. My mind opened up like it has never before. I felt like a narrow stream finally embracing the sea. At midnight when I finished reading xx: A Space Odyssey, I walked out of the house and stared at the starry sky. I was able to see the galaxy, thanks to the unpolluted sky of China back then. That night, I noticed that the starry sky looked nothing like before. For the first time in my life, I was awed by the magnitude and mystery of our universe, the feeling which you only get facing religion. Later on, the novel Rendezvous With Rama stunned me by showing how imagination could build a lifelike, fantastic world. It was Arthur Clarke who opened up this world of feelings to me, and who paved my way to become a sci-fi writer. Today, more than 30 years later, it gradually dawns on me that people like me, who were born in the 1960s in China, are probably the luckiest people in human history. No generation is like us, no generation has been able to witness such tremendous changes in the world around us. The world we are living in today is completely different from that of 奥巴马的英语演讲稿 our childhood. And such changes are taking place with even greater speed. China is a highly futuristic country. It is true that the future of China may be full of challenges and risks, but never has this country been so attractive like today. This reality provides fertile soil for the growth of science fiction, and it is enjoying unprecedented attention in the country. As a Chinese sci-fi author, who was born in the 1960s, Im the luckiest from the luckiest generation. I started writing sci-fi because I looked for a way to escape the dull life, and to reach out, with imagination, to the mysterious time and space that I could never truly reach. But then I realized that the world around me became more and more like science fiction, and this process is speeding up. Future is like pouring rain. It reaches us even before we have time to open the umbrella. Meanwhile, when sci-fi becomes reality, it loses all its magic, and that frustrates me. Sci-fi will soon become part of our lives. The only thing I can do, is to push my imagination further to even more distant time and space to hunt for the mysteries of sci-fi. As a sci-fi author, I think my job is to write things down before they get really boring. This being said, the world is moving in the direction opposite to Clarkes predictions. In xx: A Space Odyssey, in the year of xx, which has already passed, human beings have built magnificent cities in space, and 奥巴马的英语演讲稿 established permanent colonies on the moon, and huge nuclear-powered spacecraft have sailed to Saturn. However, today, in xx, the walk on the moon has become a distant memory. And the furthest reach of our manned space flights is just as long as the two-hour mileage of a high-speed train passing through my city. At the same time, information technology is developing at an unimaginable speed. The entire world is connected via the internet and people have gradually lost their interest in space, as they find themselves increasingly comfortable in the space created by IT. Instead of an exploration of the real space, which is full of difficulties, people now just prefer to experiencing virtual space through VR. Just like someone said, You promised me an ocean of stars, but you actually gave me Facebook. This reality is also reflected in science fiction. Arthur Clarkes magnificent imagination about space has gradually faded away. People stopped looking at starry skies. In the sci-fi works today, there are more imagination about how we live in cyber utopia or dystopia. Writers focus more on various problems we encounter in reality. The imagination of science fiction is abandoning the vastness and profoundness that Arthur Clarke once opened up, instead people are now embracing the narrowness and introversion of cyberpunk. As a sci-fi writer, I have been striving to continue Arthur Clarkes imagination. I believe that the boundless space is still the best direction
