Michelle Obama's Convention Speech
September 4, 2012
1.
Thank you so much, Elaine. We are so grateful for your family's service and sacri?ce, and we will always have your back.
2.
Over the past few years as First Lady, I have had the extraordinary privilege of traveling all across this country.
3.
And everywhere I've gone, in the people I've met, and the stories I've heard, I have seen the very best of the American spirit.
4.
I have seen it in the incredible kindness and warmth that people have shown me and my family, especially our girls.
5.
I've seen it in teachers in a near-bankrupt school district who vowed to keep teaching without pay. 6.
I've seen it in people who become heroes at a moment's notice, diving into harm's way to save others, ?ying across the country to put out a ?re, driving for hours to bail out a ?ooded town.
7.
And I've seen it in our men and women in uniform and our proud military families; in wounded warriors who tell me they're not just going to walk again, they're going to run, and they're going to run marathons; in the young man blinded by a bomb in Afghanistan who said, simply, "I'd give my eyes 100 times again to have the chance to do what I have done and what I can still do."
8.
Every day, the people I meet inspire me; every day, they make me proud; every day they remind me how blessed we are to live in the greatest nation on earth.
9.
Serving as your First Lady is an honor and a privilege, but back when we ?rst came together four years ago, I still had some concerns about this journey we'd begun.
10.
While I believed deeply in my husband's vision for this country, and I was certain he would make an extraordinary President, like any mother, I was worried about what it would mean for our girls if he got that chance.
11.
How would we keep them grounded under the glare of the national spotlight?
12.
How would they feel being uprooted from their school, their friends, and the only home they'd ever known?
13.
Our life before moving to Washington was ?lled with simple joys: Saturdays at soccer games, Sundays at grandma's house and a date night for Barack and me was either dinner or a movie, because as an exhausted mom, I couldn't stay awake for both.
14.
And the truth is, I loved the life we had built for our girls. I deeply loved the man I had built that life with, and I didn't want that to change if he became President.
15.
I loved Barack just the way he was.
16.
You see, even though back then Barack was a Senator and a presidential candidate, to me, he was still the guy who'd picked me up for our dates in a car that was so rusted out, I could actually see the pavement going by through a hole in the passenger side door. He was the guy whose proudest possession was a coffee table he'd found in a dumpster, and whose only pair of decent shoes was half a size too small.
17.
But when Barack started telling me about his family – that's when I knew I had found a kindred spirit, someone whose values and upbringing were so much like mine.
18.
You see, Barack and I were both raised by families who didn't have much in the way of money or material possessions but who had given us something far more valuable – their unconditional love, their un?inching sacri?ce, and the chance to go places they had never imagined for themselves. 19.
My father was a pump operator at the city water plant, and he was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis when my brother and I were young.
20.
And even as a kid, I knew there were plenty of days when he was in pain. I knew there were plenty of mornings when it was a struggle for him to simply get out of bed.
21.
But every morning, I watched my father wake up with a smile, grab his walker, prop himself up against the bathroom sink, and slowly shave and button his uniform.
22.
And when he returned home after a long day's work, my brother and I would stand at the top of the stairs to our little apartment, patiently waiting to greet him, watching as he reached down to lift one leg, and then the other, to slowly climb his way into our arms.
23.
But despite these challenges, my dad hardly ever missed a day of work. He and my mom were determined to give me and my brother the kind of education they could only dream of.
24.
And when my brother and I ?nally made it to college, nearly all of our tuition came from student loans and grants.
25.
But my dad still had to pay a tiny portion of that tuition himself.
26.
And every semester, he was determined to pay that bill right on time, even taking out loans when he fell short.
He was so proud to be sending his kids to college, and he made sure we never missed a registration deadline because his check was late.
27.
You see, for my dad, that's what it meant to be a man.
28.
Like so many of us, that was the measure of his success in life – being able to earn a decent living that allowed him to support his family.
29.
And as I got to know Barack, I realized that even though he'd grown up all the way across the country, he'd been brought up just like me.
30.
Barack was raised by a single mother who struggled to pay the bills, and by grandparents who stepped in when she needed help.
31.
Barack's grandmother started out as a secretary at a community bank, and she moved quickly up the ranks, but like so many women, she hit a glass ceiling.
32.
And for years, men no more quali?ed than she was – men she had actually trained – were promoted up the ladder ahead of her, earning more and more money while Barack's family continued to scrape by.
33.
But day after day, she kept on waking up at dawn to catch the bus, arriving at work before anyone else, giving her best without complaint or regret.
And she would often tell Barack, "So long as you kids do well, Bar, that's all that really matters." 35.
Like so many American families, our families weren't asking for much.
36.
They didn't begrudge anyone else's success or care that others had much more than they did, in fact, they admired it.
37.
They simply believed in that fundamental American promise that, even if you don't start out with much, if you work hard and do what you're supposed to do, then you should be able to build a decent life for yourself and an even better life for your kids and grandkids.
38.
That's how they raised us, that’s what we learned from their example.
39.
We learned about dignity and decency – that how hard you work matters more than how much you make...that helping others means more than just getting ahead yourself.
40.
We learned about honesty and integrity – that the truth matters, that you don't take shortcuts or play by your own set of rules, and success doesn't count unless you earn it fair and square.
41.
We learned about gratitude and humility – that so many people had a hand in our success, from the teachers who inspired us to the janitors who kept our school clean...and we were taught to value everyone's contribution and treat everyone with respect.
42.
Those are the values Barack and I – and so many of you – are trying to pass on to our own children.
43.
That's who we are.
44.
And standing before you four years ago, I knew that I didn't want any of that to change if Barack became President.
45.
Well, today, after so many struggles and triumphs and moments that have tested my husband in ways I never could have imagined, I have seen ?rsthand that being president doesn't change who you are – it reveals who you are.
46.
You see, I've gotten to see up close and personal what being president really looks like.
47.
And I've seen how the issues that come across a President's desk are always the hard ones – the problems where no amount of data or numbers will get you to the right answer, the judgment calls where the stakes are so high, and there is no margin for error. And as President, you can get all kinds of advice from all kinds of people.
48.
But at the end of the day, when it comes time to make that decision, as President, all you have to guide you are your values, and your vision, and the life experiences that make you who you are. 49.
So when it comes to rebuilding our economy, Barack is thinking about folks like my dad and like his grandmother.
50.
He's thinking about the pride that comes from a hard day's work.
51.
That's why he signed the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act to help women get equal pay for equal work.
52.
That's why he cut taxes for working families and small businesses and fought to get the auto industry back on its feet.
That's how he brought our economy from the brink of collapse to creating jobs again – jobs you can raise a family on, good jobs right here in the United States of America.
54.
When it comes to the health of our families, Barack refused to listen to all those folks who told him to leave health reform for another day, another president.
55.
He didn't care whether it was the easy thing to do politically – that's not how he was raised – he cared that it was the right thing to do.
56.
He did it because he believes that here in America, our grandparents should be able to afford their medicine...our kids should be able to see a doctor when they're sick...and no one in this country should ever go broke because of an accident or illness.
57.
And he believes that women are more than capable of making our own choices about our bodies and our health care, that’s what my husband stands for.
58.
When it comes to giving our kids the education they deserve, Barack knows that like me and like so many of you, he never could've attended college without ?nancial aid.
59.
And believe it or not, when we were ?rst married, our combined monthly student loan bills were actually higher than our mortgage.
60.
We were so young, so in love, and so in debt.
61.
That's why Barack has fought so hard to increase student aid and keep interest rates down, because he wants every young person to ful?ll their promise and be able to attend college without
a mountain of debt.
62.
So in the end, for Barack, these issues aren't political – they're personal.
63.
Because Barack knows what it means when a family struggles.
64.
He knows what it means to want something more for your kids and grandkids.
65.
Barack knows the American Dream because he's lived it, and he wants everyone in this country to have that same opportunity, no matter who we are, or where we're from, or what we look like, or who we love.
66.
And he believes that when you've worked hard, and done well, and walked through that doorway of opportunity, you do not slam it shut behind you, you reach back, and you give other folks the same chances that helped you succeed.
67.
So when people ask me whether being in the White House has changed my husband, I can honestly say that when it comes to his character, and his convictions, and his heart, Barack Obama is still the same man I fell in love with all those years ago.
68.
He's the same man who started his career by turning down high paying jobs and instead working in struggling neighborhoods where a steel plant had shut down, ?ghting to rebuild those communities and get folks back to work, because for Barack, success isn't about how much money you make, it's about the difference you make in people's lives.
69.
He's the same man who, when our girls were ?rst born, would anxiously check their cribs every few minutes to ensure they were still breathing, proudly showing them off to everyone we knew.
70.
That's the man who sits down with me and our girls for dinner nearly every night, patiently answering their questions about issues in the news, and strategizing about middle school friendships.
71.
That's the man I see in those quiet moments late at night, hunched over his desk, poring over the letters people have sent him.
72.
The letter from the father struggling to pay his bills, from the woman dying of cancer whose insurance company won't cover her care, from the young person with so much promise but so few opportunities.
73.
I see the concern in his eyes...and I hear the determination in his voice as he tells me, "You won't believe what these folks are going through, Michelle, it’s not right. We've got to keep working to ?x this. We've got so much more to do."
I see how those stories – our collection of struggles and hopes and dreams – I see how that's what drives Barack Obama every single day.
74.
And I didn't think it was possible, but today, I love my husband even more than I did four years ago, even more than I did 23 years ago, when we ?rst met.
75.
I love that he's never forgotten how he started.
76.
I love that we can trust Barack to do what he says he's going to do, even when it's hard – especially when it's hard.
77.
I love that for Barack, there is no such thing as "us" and "them" – he doesn't care whether you're a Democrat, a Republican, or none of the above. He knows that we all love our country, and he's always ready to listen to good ideas. He’s always looking for the very best in everyone he meets. 78.
And I love that even in the toughest moments, when we're all sweating it – when we're worried that the bill won't pass, and it seems like all is lost – Barack never lets himself get distracted by the chatter and the noise.
79.
Just like his grandmother, he just keeps getting up and moving forward, with patience and wisdom, and courage and grace.
80.
And he reminds me that we are playing a long game here, and that change is hard, and change is slow, and it never happens all at once.
81.
But eventually we get there, we always do.
82.
We get there because of folks like my Dad, folks like Barack's grandmother, men and women who said to themselves, "I may not have a chance to ful?ll my dreams, but maybe my children will, maybe my grandchildren will."
83.
So many of us stand here tonight because of their sacri?ce, and longing, and steadfast love, because time and again, they swallowed their fears and doubts and did what was hard.
84.
So today, when the challenges we face start to seem overwhelming – or even impossible – let us never forget that doing the impossible is the history of this nation, it’s who we are as Americans, it’s how this country was built.
85.
And if our parents and grandparents could toil and struggle for us...if they could raise beams of steel to the sky, send a man to the moon, and connect the world with the touch of a button, then surely we can keep on sacri?cing and building for our own kids and grandkids.
86.
And if so many brave men and women could wear our country's uniform and sacri?ce their lives for our most fundamental rights, then surely we can do our part as citizens of this great democracy to exercise those rights, surely, we can get to the polls and make our voices heard on Election Day. 87.
If farmers and blacksmiths could win independence from an empire; if immigrants could leave behind everything they knew for a better life on our shores; if women could be dragged to jail for seeking the vote; if a generation could defeat a depression, and de?ne greatness for all time; if a young preacher could lift us to the mountaintop with his righteous dream; and if proud Americans can be who they are and boldly stand at the altar with who they love, then surely, surely we can give everyone in this country a fair chance at that great American Dream.
88.
Because in the end, more than anything else, that is the story of this country – the story of unwavering hope grounded in unyielding struggle.
89.
That is what has made my story, and Barack's story, and so many other American stories possible.
90.
And I say all of this tonight not just as First Lady, and not just as a wife.
91.
You see, at the end of the day, my most important title is still "mom-in-chief."
92.
My daughters are still the heart of my heart and the center of my world.
93.
But today, I have none of those worries from four years ago about whether Barack and I were doing what's best for our girls.
94.
Because today, I know from experience that if I truly want to leave a better world for my daughters, and all our sons and daughters; if we want to give all our children a foundation for their dreams and opportunities worthy of their promise; if we want to give them that sense of limitless possibility – that belief that here in America, there is always something better out there if you're willing to work for it; then we must work like never before; and we must once again come together and stand together for the man we can trust to keep moving this great country forward, my husband, our President, President Barack Obama.
95.
Thank you, God bless you, and God bless America.

奥巴马励志演讲稿(精选多篇) 奥巴马竞选演讲稿 2014年11月07日星期五下午10:42 请在此处输入标题 hello, chicago! 芝加哥，你好！ if there is anyone out there who still doubts that america is a place where all things are possible; who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time; who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer. 假如还有人不相信美国是一个不存在不可能的地方，还有人怀疑开国之父们的梦想依然在影响着我们这个时代，还有人质
疑美利坚民主的力量，那么，他们的疑惑在今夜得到了解答。 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 very first time in their lives, because they believed that this time must be different; that their voice could be that difference. 在学校和教堂外面，人们排起了长长的队伍，人数之多在美国历史上前所未有。为了投上自己的一票，他们可以等待三个小时、四个小时。许多人是一生中第一次参加投票，因为他们坚信这一次必须有所变革，而他们的声音将举足轻重。 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
2009届的毕业生们，我现在能说的就是：哇，大家下午好！我为在座的毕业生感到无比骄傲。因此，在我开始讲话前，让我们先用热烈的掌声祝贺你们！这是一个无比奇妙的日子。我要感谢迪克对我热心介绍。因此如果你必须参加就职典礼的话，他会是一个很棒的陪同。他能够和我一起参加典礼让我非常高兴。真的很感激他，他所做的一切使得今天如此特别。在开始前，我还要感谢另外一些人，我要感谢国会议员杰瑞1迈克纳尼、副州长约翰·加拉曼迪、首席检察官杰瑞·布朗以及议长凯伦·贝斯。你们有出色的领导能力，并在公众服务方面为我们做出了杰出的榜样，因此，我要感谢你们。 当然，我还要感谢名誉校长康先生，他安排的欢迎仪式令人难以相信。同事还要感谢校长尤道夫先生和教务长凯斯·艾利。他们为准备毕业典礼的到来所做的一切，让这一天如此美好。全体毕业生，各位家长，摩塞德社区的所有人们，感谢你们！非常高兴今天能来到这里和你们分享这一刻，我感到无比高兴，无比激动。 我知道这里有很多国内记者，而且一些人可能也很想知道：作为第一夫人我为什么会选择在加利福利亚大学摩塞德分校进行我的第一次毕业典礼演讲呢？ 那么让我告诉大家，我的答案很简单：是因为你们激发了我，你们感动了我。你们知道，几乎没有什么比看到年轻人认识到他们能够实现自己的梦想更有价值了。你们确实认识到了这一点。你们邀请我来见证这一美好时刻，期间你们所付出的努力充分展示了你们的坚韧和想象力。 那么，让我告诉大家你们都做了什么。各位家长，你们可能不知道，你们中也有一些人参与其中。我收到了上千封学生们的来信，当然还有情人节明星片，每一封信每一张明信片中都充满了期待和热情。这不仅感动了我，还感动了我所有的同事们。他们过来跟我说：“米歇尔，你必须去参加。”“你必须到那里去。” 那些信和明信片都写得棒极了。比如，来自克里斯多夫·卡苏卡的信中写道：“亲爱的奥巴马夫人，请来参加加州大学莫塞德分校毕业典礼吧！我们真的可以使用公众舆论。”那真的触动了我的心灵。 来自吉姆·格林伍德的信中说，他不仅仅是代表他自己给我写信，还代表他的妻子。他的妻子已经是两个孩子的母亲了，她是今天在座的毕业生中的一员。 还有一封来自安德里亚·梅尔卡多的信。我想这是我最喜欢的来信中的一封。安德里亚在信中写道：“第一夫人的角色就是要在政治和理智之间寻求平衡。”谢谢你，安德里亚，谢谢你给我的信任投票。 我收到了所有与这个大学相关的人的来信——不只是学生，还有他们的父母、祖父母、堂表兄妹、姑舅叔姨以及他们的邻居和朋友，所有的人告诉我，你们是多么地努力，而这一天对于你们和整个摩塞德分校有多么重要。 我还收到了一段精彩的视频，名为“我们相信”。那么让我告诉你们，这一切真的很奏效，因为我最终来到了这里。 我要特别感谢萨姆·放和亚莎·萨巴以及所有发起“亲爱的米歇尔”活动的学生们。你们的努力让我感受到了极大的荣耀，我很高兴和你们一起庆祝这一重要时刻。 但是我明白，这种基于社区而写信的活动并不仅仅针对我。这个社区，摩赛德社区用同样的方式使得加利福利亚大学在摩赛德成立了新的分校。这个县城里的每一个学生都给加利福利亚大学董事会寄了一张明信片，以说服他们在这里成立分校。我很高兴因为事实上，今天在座的一些毕业生当时也参与了那次活动，而他们用同样的方式说服我来到了这里。这真是太奇妙了。这说明一点，万众齐心必然能够创造奇迹。而且我也想说明下一年的毕业演讲人，你可要当心了。摩赛德分校的学生可知道如何实现他们的愿望。 这种行动主义和乐观主义不仅诠释；这儿的学生和教职员工，也是摩赛德个性和历史的体现。摩赛德是由劳动者和来自世界的移民共同建立的县城。早期的拓荒者以及19世纪末淘金热中的一些先驱来到这里建立了学校、商业区和教堂，这些现在依然存在。当时非裔美国人利用沿99号铁路线做卡车司机的机会逃离了南方奴隶制度和种族主义的压迫。墨西哥裔美国人来到北方在这里的农场找工作，成为我们农业生产的支柱。还有亚裔美国人，他们来到旧金山，在这里扎根繁衍，逐渐成为圣华金河谷社区的一部分。 过去的这些年，摩赛德的人口结构虽发生了变化，但是它的价值观和品格没有改变——在漫长的炎炎烈日下一代又一代的男男女女辛勤劳作，不分种族，他们像得到的就是为了子孙后代建设美好生活的机会；辛勤劳作的人们相信，接受良好教育就是通往更加美好未来的阶梯。你们知道，我在一个有着相似价值观的社区长大。就像摩赛德一样，芝加哥南部是一个过去人们在经济困境中挣扎的社区，但是那里的人们辛勤工作、彼此照料，以子女为中心。你们

And I particularly want to thank Eric Schaefer and Zhu Xuanhao for that extraordinary English and Chinese introduction. That was a powerful symbol of everything that I want to talk with you about today. 最重要的是，我要感谢今天所有到场的学生们......我要特别感谢埃里克·谢弗和朱宣皓的精彩英文和中文介绍。这绝佳地诠释了我今天要和大家聊的全部话题。 See, by learning each other’s languages, and by showing such curiosity and respect for each other’s cultures, Mr. Schafer and Ms. Zhu and all of you are building bridges of understanding that will lead to so much
演讲的前30秒 着名演讲学家卡耐基说：“登上讲台，不管你准备了多少演讲内容，最初的30秒都是最重要的。” 一 台湾着名作家李敖曾来到内地，在北京大学举行演讲。一开讲，他就说：“各位终于看到我了。”全场几百名学生起立鼓掌。随即。他又说道：“今天来演讲，我没带讲稿，记得罗马教皇说过：‘演讲的时候不能用稿子，用稿子表示记不住，如果演讲者自己都记不住、又怎么能让听众记住?这样，演讲就失败了。’”说到这里，为了证明自己的“清白”，李敖掀开西装上衣，展示给大家：“大家看，没有稿子，也没有小抄。”此举引起了一片笑声。李麸很快接着说：“但你们不要以为我很有信心，我也很害怕。我最害怕四种人，一种是根本不来听演讲的，一种是听了一半去厕所的，一种是去了厕所永远不回来的，一种是听演讲不鼓掌的。”李敖话音未落，学生们就己乐翻了天。 二 2020年12月18日下午，央视名嘴白岩松在江西财经大学演讲，学生们蜂拥而至，气氛热烈。一上场，白岩松就热情地问候道：“各位财大的同学，下午好!”这时，他忽然看到还有很多挤在会场外面的人，便关心地问道：“外面还有多少人?冷不冷，能听得清吗?如果你们愿意。台上可以容纳三百多人，大学应该不拘一格。”在热烈的掌声中，外面的听众欢呼涌入，讲台上坐满了人。白岩松环视了一下，说：“好了。接下来，就让我出声，你们就不用出声了(众笑)。” 三 印尼“国父”、第一任总统苏加诺当年访华，来到清华大学演讲。学生们坐在操场上，苏加诺一上台，就大声说：“我有一个建议，建议你们向前走一步，因为我愿意生活在青年中间。”说完，学生们就向前走一步，往地下一坐。这个时候，苏加诺看到同学们十分严肃，便又来了一句：“我还有第二个请求，那就是请诸君笑一笑，因为我们正面向一个美好的未来。”“哗”一声，同学们笑声和掌声热烈，整个会场沸腾起来了!
英语演讲稿 英语演讲：米歇尔·奥巴马在迪拉德大学毕业典礼上的演讲(中英字幕+文本) MRS. OBAMA: Oh, my goodness! Good morning! AUDIENCE: Good morning. MRS. OBAMA: I am so happy to be here with you all. I’m proud to be here in the Big Easy. Look at you all! (Applause.) You look good. STUDENT: You do too! MRS. OBAMA: Thank you. (Laughter.) I want to start by thanking Nicole for that very kind introduction and for sharing her story, which is not too unfamiliar to me -- because they told me I couldn’t be where I am, too. So I want to thank Nicole. I’m proud of her. Thank you for the selfie; I think that’s the first selfie I’ve done at a commencement. So, Nicole, you’re my first. (Laughter.) And of course, I want to thank the Dillard University Choir. Oh, oh, oh! (Applause.) Oh! That’s all I can say. It’
篇一：米歇尔演讲稿 英文原稿： first lady michelle obama: 孩子们应该受到很好的教育，说道这个问题，barack 懂得，就像我们中很多人一样，没有助学金他就也不可能上大学。 你们相信吗？在我和他新婚之时，我们的助学贷款的压力甚至远大于房贷。当时我们那么年轻，还负债累累。 thats why barack has fought so hard to increase student aid and keep interest rates down, because he wants every young person to fulfill their promise and be able to attend college without a mountain of debt. 因此，barack 竭尽全力提高助学金额度，同时压低利息，他希望让每一个年轻人都能大展宏图，不必为了求学债台高筑 so in the end, for barack, these issues arent political – theyre personal. because barack knows what it means when a family struggles. he knows what it means to want something more for your kids and grandkids. 他懂得希望子孙过上好日子是这样一种感受。他知道什么是美国梦，因为他曾亲身经历。他希望每一个人都能有相同的机会。 barack knows the american dream because hes lived it...and he wants everyone in this country to have that same opportunity, no matter who we are, or where were from, or what we look like, or who we love. 他知道什么是美国梦，因为他曾亲身经历。他希望每一个人都能有相同的机会。无论身份，无论家乡，无论种族，无论信仰和情感。 and he believes that when youve worked hard, and done well, and walked through that doorway of opportunity...you do not slam it shut behind you...you reach back, and you give other folks the same chances that helped you succeed.他相信当每一个人努力奋斗，出人头地，在通过机遇的大门之后，不会自私地关上大门，而会转身伸出援手。给予人们共同的机会一起成功！ 如果你要问我白宫这四年是否改变我的丈夫？我可以坦诚相告，不论是看他的品格，信仰，还是内心，此时此刻的他是彼时彼地我相爱的那个人！ 如今的他还会像那时一样，拒绝高薪工作，而深入社区基层，去帮助濒临倒闭的钢厂的职工和家属。去重建那样的社区，帮助人们再度就业。因为对他来讲，成功的标准并不是收入，而是你对他人生的积极影响 hes the same man who, when our girls were first born, would anxiously check their cribs every few minutes to ensure they were still breathing, proudly showing them off to everyone we knew. 他还是那个当女儿刚降生时，会分分钟钟就跑到婴儿床边查看女儿是否还在呼吸的那个父亲。会抱着女儿去找所有的熟人显摆。 thats the man who sits down with me and our girls for dinner nearly every night, patiently answering their questions about issues in the news, and strategizing about middle school friendships. 他至今仍每晚和我跟女儿一起吃晚餐。耐心地回答她们关于新闻和时事的问题，为她们在学校交朋友的事儿出谋划策。 i see the concern in his eyes...and i hear the determination in his voice as he tells me, you wont believe what these folks are going through, michelle...its not right.

? ?米歇尔在成都七中的演讲 It is truly a pleasure to be here at the Number Seven School. Thank you so much for your warm welcome. 米歇尔·奥巴马 Ni hao. It is truly a pleasure to be here at the Number Seven School. Thank you so much for your warm welcome. Now, before I get started, on behalf of myself and my husband, I want to say that our hearts go out to all those with loved ones on Malaysia Airlines
Flight 370. As I said this past weekend when I spoke at Peking University, we are very much keeping all of them in our thoughts and our prayers at this tremendously difficult time. So now, let me start by thanking your Principal, Principal Liu, and your classmate, Ju Chao, for that wonderful introduction. Your English, Ju Chao, is excellent, and you should be very proud. Thank you so much. (Applause.) And I want to thank all of the students here today, both those of you here in person and those of you joining remotely from across the region. I’m thrilled to be visiting your wonderfu l school. Now, in preparation for this visit, before I left the U.S. I visited the Yu Ying School. It’s a public school near the White House in Washington, D.C., and all of the students at this school study Chinese. And I met with the sixth-grade class, kids who are 11 and 12 years old. They had recently taken a trip here to China, and they were bursting with excitement. They were eager to tell me about everything about what they had seen. But they admitted that before their trip, they had all kinds of misconceptions about China. They thought they would see palaces and temples everywhere they went, but instead they found massive cities filled with skyscrapers. They weren’t sure that they’d like the food here in China, but they actually loved it, and they learned how to use chopsticks. And in the end, one of the students told me –- and this is his quote -- he said, “Coming home was really exciting, but was at the same time sad.” Now, meeting these students reminded me that when we live so far away from each other, it’s easy to develop all kinds of misconceptions and stereotypes. It’s easy to focus on our differences –- how we speak different languages and eat different foods and observe different traditions. But as I travel the world, and I meet young people from so many countries, I’m always struck by how much more we have in common.And that’s been particularly true during my visit here in China. You see, the truth is that I grew up like many of you. My mom, my dad, my brother and I, we lived in a tiny apartment in Chicago, which is one of the largest cities in America. My father worked at the local water plant. And we didn’t have much money, but our little home was bursting with
奥巴马夫人米歇尔的演讲稿 First Lady Michelle Obama: Thank you so much, Elaine…we are so grateful for your family’s service and sacrifice…and we will always have your back. Over the past few years as First Lady, I have had the extraordinary privilege of traveling all across this country. And everywhere I’ve gone, in the people I’ve met, and the stories I’ve heard, I have seen the very best of the American spirit. I have seen it in the incredible kindness and warmth that people have shown me and my family, especially our girls. I’ve seen it in teachers in a near-bankrupt school district who vowed to keep teaching without pay. I’ve seen it in people who become heroes at a moment’s notice, diving into harm’s way to save others…flying across the country to put out a fire…driving for hours to bail out a flooded town. And I’ve seen it in our men and women in uniform and our proud military families…in wounded warriors who tell me they’re not just going to walk again, they’re going to run, and they’re going to run marathons…in the young man blinded by a bomb in Afghanistan who said, simply, “…I’d give my eyes 100 times again to have the chance to do what I have done and what I can still do.” Every day, the people I meet inspire me…every day, they make me proud…every day they remind me how blessed we are to live in the greatest nation on earth. Serving as your First Lady is an honor and a privilege…but back when we first came together four years ago, I still had some concerns about this journey we’d begun. While I believe d deeply in my husband’s vision for this country…and I was certain he would make an extraordinary President…like any mother, I was worried about what it would mean for our girls if he got that chance. How would we keep them grounded under the glare of the national spotlight? How would they feel being uprooted from their school, their friends, and the only home they’d ever known?
