奥巴马在911十周年纪念音乐会上的演讲
The Bible tells us -- "weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning."
圣经告诉我们“哭泣可能会持续一夜，但欢乐会在明早到来。”
Ten years ago, America confronted one of our darkest nights. Mighty towers crumbled. Black smoke billowed up from the Pentagon. Airplane wreckage smoldered on a Pennsylvania field. Friends and neighbors, sisters and brothers, mothers and fathers, sons and daughters -- they were taken from us with a heartbreaking swiftness and cruelty. And on September 12, 2001, we awoke to a world in which evil was closer at hand, and uncertainty clouded our future.
十年前，美国经历了历史上最黑暗的一天。双子塔楼坍塌了，五角大楼升起了黑烟，飞机在宾夕法尼亚州坠毁。亲朋好友们，兄弟姐妹们，父亲母亲们，孩子们，他们离开了我们，让我们承受着难以弥合的伤痛。在2001年9月12日，我们醒来所面对的世界充满了罪恶和对未知未来的恐惧。
In the decade since, much has changed for Americans. We've known war and recession, passionate debates and political divides. We can never get back the lives that were lost on that day or the Americans who made the ultimate sacrifice in the wars that followed.
在此之后的十年里，美国人经历了许多变故。我们经历了战争和萧条，激烈的争辩和政治分歧。我们永远也不能唤回失去的生命，或是那些在此后战争中英勇捐躯的英烈。
And yet today, it is worth remembering what has not changed. Our character as a nation has not changed. Our faith -- in God and in each other -- that has not changed. Our belief in America, born of a timeless ideal that men and women should govern themselves; that all people are created equal, and deserve the same freedom to determine their own destiny -- that belief, through tests and trials, has only been strengthened.
但是，在今天，我们应该去纪念我们走过的路。我们国家的核心价值依然没有变。我们的信念——相信上帝和彼此的力量——并没有变。我们这个国家坚信，人人自律、人人平等、人人自由，这一信念经受了考验，现在更加坚不可摧。
These past 10 years have shown that America does not give in to fear. The rescue workers who rushed to the scene, the firefighters who charged up the stairs, the passengers who stormed the cockpit -- these patriots defined the very nature of courage. Over the years we've also seen a more quiet form of heroism -- in the ladder company that lost so many men and still suits up and saves lives every day, the
businesses that have been rebuilt from nothing, the burn victim who has bounced back, the families who press on.
过去的十年证明，美国并没有畏缩。搜救人员跑进了火场，消防警察冲锋陷阵，飞机乘客跟歹徒搏斗，这些勇士证明了美国人的勇敢。在之后的十年中，我们看到了美国英雄主义的另一种表现形式：云梯消防队依然有勇敢的队员在拯救人们生命，工商企业开始重建，灾难幸存者重新振作起来，遇难者家属开始了新的生活。
Last spring, I received a letter from a woman named Suzanne Swaine. She had lost her husband and brother in the Twin Towers, and said that she had been robbed of, "so many would-be proud moments where a father watches their child graduate, or tend a goal in a lacrosse game, or succeed academically." But her daughters are in college, the other doing well in high school. "It has been 10 years of raising these girls on my own," Suzanne wrote. "I could not be prouder of their strength and resilience." That spirit typifies our American family. And the hopeful future for those girls is the ultimate rebuke to the hateful killers who took the life of their father.
去年春天，我收到了一位叫Suzanne Swaine女士的来信。她在双子塔楼的灾难中失去了丈夫和兄弟，她说“那么多骄傲的瞬间从她的生命里被剥夺了，父亲原本可以看到孩子毕业、在曲棍球比赛中得分、在考试中获得好成绩。”这位女士还有两个在上大学的女儿，以及一个在念高中的孩子。她在信中写道：“十年来，我一个人养育我的女儿们。她们的坚强和勇敢让我骄傲无比。”这一家人的精神就是全部美国家庭的写照。这些女孩用充满希望的未来给了杀害她们父亲的凶手最有力的回击。
These past 10 years have shown America's resolve to defend its citizens, and our way of life. Diplomats serve in far off posts, and intelligence professionals work tirelessly without recognition. Two million Americans have gone to war since 9/11. They have demonstrated that those who do us harm cannot hide from the reach of justice, anywhere in the world. America has been defended not by conscripts, but by citizens who choose to serve -- young people who signed up straight out of high school, guardsmen and reservists, workers and business-people, immigrants and fourth-generation soldiers. They are men and women who left behind lives of comfort for two, three, four, five tours of duty. Too many will never come home. Those that do carry dark memories from distant places and the legacy of fallen friends.
这整整十年证明了美国保护公民、维护美国生活方式的决心。外交官远离故土辛勤工作、情报人员默默无闻无私奉献。在9·11后，二百万美国人参与了战争。他们证明，那些伤害了我们的人绝对无法逃脱正义的审判，不论他们藏身何处。事实上，那些保卫国家的人不是征召的士兵，而是自愿服役的公民——他们是毕业入伍的年轻人，国民警卫队士兵和后备役，工人和商业人士，移民和第四代士兵。他们放弃舒适的生活，甚至坚持超期服役。他们中的很多人从此再也没有回来。而即便是平安回来的人也从此留下了难以治愈的心灵创伤和战友逝去的记
忆。
The sacrifices of these men and women, and of our military families, reminds us that the wages of war are great; that while service to our nation is full of glory, war itself is never glorious. Our troops have been to lands unknown to many Americans a decade ago -- to Kandahar and Kabul; to Mosul and Basra. But our strength is not measured in our ability to stay in these places; it comes from our commitment to leave those lands to free people and sovereign states, and our desire to move from a decade of war to a future of peace.
这些军人的奉献以及他们家庭承受的牺牲提醒我们，战争的代价是巨大的，虽然他们对国家的贡献是荣耀的，战争本身却永远不是光荣的。十年中，我们的军队被派到了美国人并不熟悉的地方——坎大哈和喀布尔，摩苏尔和巴士拉。我们的强大并不是用驻军数量来衡量的，而是体现在我们要把这些地方交还给自由人民和主权国家的决心上，以及我们要结束十年的战争迎接和平未来的心愿上。
These 10 years have shown that we hold fast to our freedoms. Y es, we're more vigilant against those who threaten us, and there are inconveniences that come with our common defense. Debates -- about war and peace, about security and civil liberties -- have often been fierce these last 10 years. But it is precisely the rigor of these debates, and our ability to resolve them in a way that honors our values and our democracy, that is the measure of our strength. Meanwhile, our open markets still provide innovators the chance to create and succeed, our citizens are still free to speak their minds, and our souls are enriched in churches and temples, our synagogues and our mosques.
这十年证明，我们坚定地捍卫我们的自由。是的，我们对那些潜在威胁更加警惕，而且在共同防御过程中我们也造成了一些不便。对于战争与和平、对于安保和民权的争论也一直在激烈地进行着。但是，恰恰由于这些讨论的存在，以及守卫美国价值观的决心，我们证明了我们的强大。同时，我们开放的市场仍然给予创新者革新的机会，我们的公民仍然可以自由地表达观点，我们的灵魂仍然在教堂、寺庙、（犹太）教会堂和清真寺中得到洗礼。
These past 10 years underscores the bonds between all Americans. We have not succumbed to suspicion, nor have we succumbed to mistrust. After 9/11, to his great credit, President Bush made clear what we reaffirm today: The United States will never wage war against Islam or any other religion. Immigrants come here from all parts of the globe. And in the biggest cities and the smallest towns, in schools and workplaces, you still see people of every conceivable race and religion and ethnicity -- all of them pledging allegiance to the flag, all of them reaching for the same American dream -- e pluribus unum, out of many, we are one.
过去的十年让美国人团结得更加紧密。我们没有变得草木皆兵、互相猜疑。在9·11之后，乔治·W·布什总统清楚地说过，我们今天再次重申：美国将永远不对伊斯兰教或其他任何宗教开战。我们有来自全世界各地的移民。无论是在美国的大都市还是小城镇，在我们的学校还是工作场所，你都可以见到各个人种、各个宗
教、各个种族的人，我们都忠于一个国家，我们都怀着同一个美国梦，我们都是一家人。
These past 10 years tell a story of our resilience. The Pentagon is repaired, and filled with patriots working in common purpose. Shanksville is the scene of friendships forged between residents of that town, and families who lost loved ones there. New Y ork -- New Y ork remains the most vibrant of capitals of arts and industry and fashion and commerce. Where the World Trade Center once stood, the sun glistens off a new tower that reaches towards the sky.
过去的十年体现了美国人的坚强。五角大楼被修复了，我们的工作人员为了共同的目标在为国家工作。痛失亲人的家属与尚克斯维尔市（93号航班坠毁地）的居民结成深厚友谊。纽约仍然焕发生机，是艺术、工业、时尚和贸易的中心。在世贸中心曾经矗立的地方，一座新的摩天大楼直耸云霄。
Our people still work in skyscrapers. Our stadiums are still filled with fans, and our parks full of children playing ball. Our airports hum with travel, and our buses and subways take millions where they need to go. And families sit down to Sunday dinner, and students prepare for school. This land pulses with the optimism of those who set out for distant shores, and the courage of those who died for human freedom.
我们的民众还在摩天大楼内工作。我们的体育场依然挤满了球迷，我们的公园仍然有孩子嬉闹的场景。我们的机场还是熙熙攘攘，我们的公交和地铁依然承载着百万乘客。美国家庭还会在周日晚上聚餐，学生们仍然照常上课。这片土地的脉搏像往常一样跳动，普通民众乐观地工作出行，军人为人类的自由不怕牺牲。
Decades from now, Americans will visit the memorials to those who were lost on 9/11. They'll run their fingers over the places where the names of those we loved are carved into marble and stone, and they may wonder at the lives that they led. And standing before the white headstones in Arlington, and in peaceful cemeteries and small-town squares in every corner of the country, they will pay respects to those lost in Iraq and Afghanistan. They'll see the names of the fallen on bridges and statues, at gardens and schools.
十年了，美国人再次回到这个地方纪念遇难的人群。人们的手指轻轻地划过纪念碑的大理石，寻找遇难家属的名字，想念他们曾经在世的样子。站在阿林顿市白色墓石前，或是全国各地的墓园和小城镇的广场上，我们会对那些在阿富汗战争和伊拉克战争中英勇捐躯的战士表示敬意。我们可以看到他们的名字被刻在大桥上、雕像上、公园内、学校里。
And they will know that nothing can break the will of a truly United States of America. They will remember that we've overcome slavery and Civil War; we've overcome bread lines and fascism and recession and riots, and communism and, yes, terrorism. They will be reminded that we are not perfect, but our democracy is durable,
and that democracy -- reflecting, as it does, the imperfections of man -- also give us the opportunity to perfect our union. That is what we honor on days of national commemoration -- those aspects of the American experience that are enduring, and the determination to move forward as one people.
我们知道，没有任何事情可以击败真正的美国意志。我们将永远铭记，我们战胜了奴隶制、内战、灾荒、种族主义、经济萧条、城市暴动、冷战，当然还有恐怖主义。我们将提醒自己，我们不是完美的，但是我们的民主是持久的，而这一民主——反映出了人性的瑕疵——给予了我们不断完善国家的机会。这就是我们在这几天的国家纪念日中所要突出纪念的，这些价值观念让我们的国家持续进步、让我们的民众团结一致。
More than monuments, that will be the legacy of 9/11 -- a legacy of firefighters who walked into fire and soldiers who signed up to serve; of workers who raised new towers, and citizens who faced down their private fears. Most of all, of children who realized the dreams of their parents. It will be said that we kept the faith; that we took a painful blow, and we emerged stronger than before.
除了纪念碑，我们还将有其他的9·11精神遗产，它们来自冲进火场的消防队员，来自自愿入伍的士兵，来自修建新楼的建筑工人，来自坚强勇敢的公民，来自继承父母遗志的孩子。我们会坚持这样的信念，承受沉痛的打击，但却变得更加强大。
"Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning."
“哭泣可能会持续一夜，但欢乐会在明早到来。”
With a just God as our guide, let us honor those who have been lost, let us rededicate ourselves to the ideals that define our nation, and let us look to the future with hearts full of hope.
公正的上帝是我们的指引，让我们纪念逝去的人们，让我们为美国理想奋斗，让我们充满希望面向未来。
May God bless the memory of those we lost, and may God bless the United States of America.
愿上帝保佑我们逝去的亲人，愿上帝保佑美国。
经典演讲稿：奥巴马上海演讲中文版 【奥巴马上海演讲中文版】 你好。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。 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。很抱歉，我的 中文远不如你们的英文，所以我期待和你们的对话。这是我首次访 问中国，我看到你们博大的国家，感到很兴奋。在上海这里，我们 看到了瞩目的增长，高耸的塔楼，繁忙的街道，还有企业家的精神。这些都是中国步入21世纪的迹象，让我感到赞叹。同时我也急切的
要看到向我们展现中国古老的古迹，明天和后天我要到北京去看雄伟壮丽的故宫和令人叹为观止的长城，这个国度既有丰富的历史，又有对未来憧憬的信念。 而我们两国的关系也是如此，上海在美中关系的历史中是个具有意义的重大城市，在30年前，《上海公报》打开了我们两国政府和两国人民接触交往的新的篇章。 不过美国与这个国家的纽带可以追溯更久远的过去，追溯到美国独立的初期，乔治-华盛顿组织了皇后号的下水仪式，这个船成功前往大清王朝，华盛顿希望看到这艘船前往各地，与中国结成新的纽带。希望中国开辟新的地平线，建立新的伙伴关系。在其后的两个世纪中，历史洪流使我们两国关系向许多不同的方向发展，而即使在最动荡的方向中，我们的两国人民打造深的，甚至有戏剧性的纽带，比如美国人永远不会忘记，在二战期间，美国飞行员在中国上空被击落后，当地人民对他们的款待，中国公民冒着失去一切的危险罩着他们。
奥巴马开学第一课演讲 以下是XX为大家搜集整理的奥巴马开学第一课演讲，欢迎浏览借鉴，希望能够帮到大家。 【奥巴马开学第一课演讲全文：我为什么上学】 嗨，大家好!你们今天过得怎么样?我现在和弗吉尼亚州阿林顿郡韦克菲尔德高中的学生们在一起，全国各地也有从幼儿园到高三的众多学生们通过电视关注这里，我很高兴你们能共同分享这一时刻。 我知道，对你们中的许多人来说，今天是开学的第一天，你们中的有一些刚刚进入幼儿园或升上初高中，对你们来说，这是在新学校的第一天，因此，假如你们感到有些紧张，那也是很正常的。 我想也会有许多毕业班的学生们正自信满满地准备最后一年的冲刺。不过，我想无论你有多大、在读哪个年级，许多人都打心底里希望现在还在放假，以及今天不用那么早起床。 我可以理解这份心情。小时候，我们家在印度尼西亚住过几年，而我妈妈没钱送我去其他美国孩子们上学的地方去读书，因此她决定自己给我上课时间是每周一到周五的凌晨4点半。 显然，我不怎么喜欢那么早就爬起来，很多时候，我就这么在厨房的桌子前睡着了。每当我埋怨的时候，我妈总
会用同一副表情看着我说：“小鬼，你以为教你我就很轻松?” 所以，我可以理解你们中的许多人对于开学还需要时间来调整和适应，但今天我站在这里，是为了和你们谈一些重要的事情。我要和你们谈一谈你们每个人的教育，以及在新的学年里，你们应当做些什么。 我做过许多关于教育的讲话，也常常用到“责任”这个词。 我谈到过教师们有责任激励和启迪你们，督促你们学习。 我谈到过家长们有责任看管你们认真学习、完成作业，不要成天只会看电视或打游戏机。我也很多次谈到过政府有责任设定高标准严要求、协助老师和校长们的工作，改变在有些学校里学生得不到应有的学习机会的现状。 但哪怕这一切都达到最好，哪怕我们有最尽职的教师、最好的家长和最优秀的学校，假如你们不去履行自己的责任的话，那么这一切努力都会白费除非你每天准时去上学、除非你认真地听老师讲课、除非你把父母、长辈和其他大人们说的话放在心上、除非你肯付出成功所必需的努力，否则这一切都会失去意义。 而这就是我今天讲话的主题：对于自己的教育，你们中每一个人的责任。首先，我想谈谈你们对于自己有什么责任。
奥巴马在复旦大学演讲稿(全)-中英文 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。很抱歉，我的中文远不如你们的英文，所以我期待和你们的对话。 This is my first time traveling to China, and I'm excited to see this majestic country. Here, in Shanghai, we see the growth that has caught the attention of the world -- the soaring skyscrapers, the bustling streets and entrepreneurial activity. And just as I'm impressed by these signs of China's journey to the 21st century, I'm eager to see those ancient places that speak to us from China's distant past. Tomorrow and the next day I hope to have a chance when I'm in Beijing to see the majesty of the Forbidden City and the wonder of the Great Wall. Truly, this is a nation that encompasses both a rich history and a belief in the promise of the future. 这是我首次访问中国，我看到你们博大的国家，感到很兴奋。在上海这里，我们看到了瞩目的增长，高耸的塔楼，繁忙的街道，还有企业家的精神。这些都是中国步入21世纪的迹象，让我感到赞叹。同时我也急切的要看到向我们展现中国古老的古迹，明天和后天我要到北京去看雄伟壮丽的故宫和令人叹为观止的长城，这个国度既有丰富的历史，又有对未来憧憬的信念。 The same can be said of the relationship between our two countries. Shanghai, of course, is a city that has great meaning in the history of the relationship between the United States and China. It was here, 37 years ago, that the Shanghai Communique opened the door to a new chapter of engagement between our governments and among our people. 而我们两国的关系也是如此，上海在美中关系的历史中是个具有意义的重大城市，在37年前，《上海公报》打开了我们两国政府和两国人民接触交往的新的篇章。 However, America's ties to this city -- and to this country -- stretch back further, to the earliest days of America's independence. In 1784, our founding father, George Washington, commissioned the Empress of China, a ship that set sail for these shores so that it could pursue trade with the Qing Dynasty. Washington wanted to see the ship carry the flag around the globe, and to forge new ties with nations like China. This is a common American impulse -- the desire to reach for new horizons, and to forge new partnerships that are mutually beneficial. 不过美国与这个国家的纽带可以追溯更久远的过去，追溯到美国独立的初期，乔治?华盛顿组织了皇后号的下水仪式，这个船成功前往大清王朝，华盛顿希望看到这艘船前往各地，与中国结成新的纽带。希望与中国开辟新的地平线，建立新的伙伴关系。 Over the two centuries that have followed, the currents of history have steered the relationship between our countries in many directions. And even in the midst of tumultuous winds, our people had opportunities to forge deep and even dramatic ties. For instance, Americans will never forget the hospitality shown to our pilots who were shot down over your soil during World War II, and cared for by Chinese civilians who risked all that they had by doing so. And Chinese veterans of that war still warmly greet those American veterans who return to the sites where they fought to help liberate China from occupation. 在其后的两个世纪中，历史洪流使我们两国关系向许多不同的方向发展，而即使在最动荡的方向中，我们的两国人民也打造了很深的，甚至有戏剧性的纽带，比如美国人永远不会忘记，在二战期间，美国飞行员在中国上空被击落后，当地人民对他们的款待，中国公民冒着失去一切的危险保护着他们。而参加二战的中国老兵仍然欢迎故地重游的美国老兵，他们在那里参战。 A different kind of connection was made nearly 40 years ago when the frost between our countries began to thaw through the simple game of table tennis. The very unlikely nature of this engagement contributed to its success -- because for all our differences, both our common humanity and our shared curiosity were revealed. As one American player described his visit to China -- "[The] people are just like us…The country is very similar to America, but still very different." Of course this small opening was followed by the achievement of the Shanghai Communique, and the eventual establishment of formal relations between the United States and China in 1979. And
奥巴马面对全美学生的开学演讲: 永远不要放弃自己 小时候，我家在印度尼西亚住过几年，妈妈没钱送我去读书，因此她决定自己给我上课 ——时间是每周一到周五的凌晨4点半。显然，我不喜欢那么早爬起来，经常趴在厨房的桌 子上睡着了。每当我埋怨的时候，母亲便会对我说：“孩子，你以为妈妈教你很轻松吗？” 今天我站在这里，是为了和你们谈一些重要的事情。我要和你们谈一谈你们每个人的教 育，以及在新的学年里，你们应当做些什么。 我做过许多关于教育的讲话，也常常用到“责任”这个词。 我谈到过教师们有责任激励和启迪你们，督促你们学习。 我谈到过家长们有责任看管你们认真学习、完成作业，不要成天只会看电视或打游戏机。 我也很多次谈到过政府有责任设定高标准严要求、协助老师和校长们的工作，改变在有 些学校里学生得不到应有的学习机会的现状。 但哪怕这一切都达到最好，哪怕我们有最尽职的教师、最好的家长、和最优秀的学校， 假如你们不去履行自己的责任的话，那么这一切努力都会白费。——除非你每天准时去上学、 除非你认真地听老师讲课、除非你把父母、长辈和其他大人们说的话放在心上、除非你肯付 出成功所必需的努力，否则这一切都会失去意义。 而这就是我今天讲话的主题：对于自己的教育，你们中每一个人的责任。首先，我想谈 谈你们对于自己有什么责任。 你们中的每一个人都会有自己擅长的东西，每一个人都是有用之材，而发现自己的才能 是什么，就是你们要对自己担起的责任。教育给你们提供了发现自己才能的机会。 或许你能写出优美的文字——甚至有一天能让那些文字出现在书籍和报刊上——但假如 不在英语课上经常练习写作，你不会发现自己有这样的天赋；或许你能成为一个发明家、创 造家——甚至设计出像今天的iphone一样流行的产品，或研制出新的药物与疫苗——但假如 不在自然科学课程上做上几次实验，你不会知道自己有这样的天赋；或许你能成为一名议员 或最高法院法官，但假如你不去加入什么学生会或参加几次辩论赛，你也不会发现自己的才 能。 而且，我可以向你保证，不管你将来想要做什么，你都需要相应的教育。——你想当名 医生、当名教师或当名警官？你想成为护士、成为建筑设计师、律师或军人？无论你选择哪 一种职业，良好的教育都必不可少，这世上不存在不把书念完就能拿到好工作的美梦，任何 工作，都需要你的汗水、训练与学习。 不仅仅对于你们个人的未来有重要意义，你们的教育如何也会对这个国家、乃至世界的 未来产生重要影响。今天你们在学校中学习的内容，将会决定我们整个国家在未来迎接重大 挑战时的表现。 你们需要在数理科学课程上学习的知识和技能，去治疗癌症、艾滋那样的疾病，和解决 我们面临的能源问题与环境问题；你们需要在历史社科课程上培养出的观察力与判断力，来 减轻和消除无家可归与贫困、犯罪问题和各种歧视，让这个国家变得更加公平和自由；你们 需要在各类课程中逐渐累积和发展出来的创新意识和思维，去创业和建立新的公司与企业， 来制造就业机会和推动经济的增长。 我们需要你们中的每一个人都培养和发展自己的天赋、技能和才智，来解决我们所面对 的最困难的问题。假如你不这么做——假如你放弃学习——那么你不仅是放弃了自己，也是 放弃了你的国家。 当然，我明白，读好书并不总是件容易的事。我知道你们中的许多人在生活中面临着各 种各样的问题，很难把精力集中在专心读书之上。 我知道你们的感受。我父亲在我两岁时就离开了家庭，是母亲一人将我们拉扯大，有时
奥巴马获胜演说演讲稿（中英文） 奥巴马获胜演说演讲稿（中英文） Barack Obama’s Victory Speech: Change Has Come To America If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible, who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time, who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer. 如果，还有人怀疑美国是一切皆有可能的国度，还有人怀疑国父们的梦想在我们的时代是否还存在，还有人怀疑我们的民主所拥有的力量，那么今晚，你听到了回答。 It’s the answer told by lines that stretched around schools and churches in numbers this nation has never seen, by people who waited three hours and four hours, many for the first time in their lives, because they believed that this time must be different, that their voices could be that difference. 是那些今天在学校和教堂排着长队、数不胜数的选民做出了回答；是那些为了投票等待了三四个小时的人们做出了回答。他们中的很多人，是有生以来第一次投票，因为他们相信，这次真的不同――他们的声音会让这次不同。 It’s the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, black, white, Hispanic, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled. Americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been
Hello, everybody! Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, everybody. All right, everybody go ahead and have a seat. How is everybody doing today? (Applause.) How about Tim Spicer? (Applause.) I am here with students at Wakefield High School in Arlington, Virginia. And we’ve got students tuning in from all across America, from kindergarten through 12th grade. And I am just so glad that all could join us today. And I want to thank Wakefield for being such an outstanding host. Give yourselves a big round of applause. (Applause.) 大家好！谢谢你们。谢谢你们。谢谢你们大家。好，大家请就坐。你们今天都好吗？（掌声）蒂姆?斯派塞（Tim Spicer ）好吗？（掌声）我现在与弗吉尼亚州阿灵顿郡韦克菲尔德高中的学生们在一起。美国各地从小学预备班到中学12 年级的学生正在收听收看。我很高兴大家今天都能参与。我还要感谢韦克菲尔德高中出色的组织安排。请为你们自己热烈鼓掌。（掌声） I know that for many of you, today is the first day of school. And for those of you in kindergarten, or starting middle or high school, it’s your first day in a new school, so it’s understandable if you’re a little nervous. I imagine there are some seniors out there who are feeling pretty good right now -- (applause) -- with just one more year to go. And no matter what grade you’re in, some of you are probably wishing it were still summer and you could’ve stayed in bed just a little bit longer this morning. 我知道，今天是你们很多人开学的日子。对于进入小学预备班、初中或高中的学生，今天是你们来到新学校的第一天，心里可能有点紧张，这是可以理解的。我能想象有些毕业班学生现在感觉很不错——（掌声）——还有一年就毕业了。不论在哪个年级，你们有些人可能希望暑假更长一点，今天早上还能多睡一小会儿。 I know that feeling. When I was young, my family lived overseas. I lived in Indonesia for a few years. And my mother, she didn’t have the money to send me where all the American kids went to school, but she thought it was important for me to keep up with an American education. So she decided to teach me extra lessons herself, Monday through Friday. But because she had to go to work, the only time she could do it was at 4:30 in the morning. 我了解这种感觉。我小时候，我们家生活在海外。我在印度尼西亚住了几年。我妈妈没有钱送我上其他美国孩子上的学校，但她认为必须让我接受美式教育。因此，她决定从周一到周五自己给我补课。不过她还要上班，所以只能在清晨四点半给我上课。
奥巴马演讲的六个技巧 美国给这代人选出了一位最厉害的政治演说家——贝拉克?奥巴马。一位可以向20万人发表演说的人身上一定有你可以学到的东西，下面一起来分享一下美国总统奥巴马的6个演讲技巧。 1、了解观众 2008年，在格兰特公园，对着20万观众演讲，奥巴马很容易“踩到地雷”。他没有。他对着在家里起居室里的美国人讲话；他对着投票给麦凯恩的人讲话；他对着全世界关注他的人讲话，从各国政要到穷国中最穷的人。他知道观众是谁。 “告诉那些远隔千山万水的人们；告诉各国议会和各国王室；告诉那些被世界遗忘的角落里、挤在一起收听广播的人们，我们的故事千差万别，但我们的命运休戚与共，美国领导的新时代即将到来。” 2、在故事中，涵盖观点 美国历史上，长期争取民权的运动，使奥巴马参选成为可能。奥巴马用安妮·迪克森·库珀的故事，表达了这个观点。库珀是一位106岁高龄的女性，她的父母是奴隶；她经历了民权运动的几个重要里程碑。
“她出生时，上一代刚刚结束奴隶制；当时，路上没有车子，天空没有飞机；象她一样的那些人，因为两个原因不能投票：因为她是女人，因为她皮肤的颜色。” 这样感染力强多了，效果比干巴巴的历史课棒多了。 3、在观众的脑海中描绘图案 奥巴马用特定、具体的词汇给我们留下了深刻的印象。举几个例子： “即使今晚，我们站在这里；我们也知道，那些勇敢的美国人行进在伊拉克的戈壁滩上，行进在阿富汗的崇山峻岭中。用他们的生命，为我们冒险。” “总而言之，我请你加入重建国家的行列，过去221年，在美国，这是唯一路——用一双双布满老茧的双手，一砖一瓦地努力，一个街区一个街区地努力。” 4、有人情味 贝拉克·奥巴马告诉全世界，他将给两个女儿弄一只小狗，并且带到白宫里。全世界人都喜欢这个。在首次新闻发布会上，他说，这是他网站上最热门的话题。 5、娓娓道来，举重若轻

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 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.
奥巴马开学第一课演 讲全文
奥巴马的开学第一课 摘要：9月8日是美国小学的开学日，奥巴马选择这一天在弗吉尼亚州阿灵顿县韦克菲尔德高中发表大约16分钟演讲。以下为演讲全文： 嗨，大家好！你们今天过得怎么样？我现在和弗吉尼亚州阿林顿郡韦克菲尔德高中的学生们在一起，全国各地也有从幼儿园到高三的众多学生们通过电视关注这里，我很高兴你们能共同分享这一时刻。 我知道，对你们中的许多人来说，今天是开学的第一天，你们中的有一些刚刚进入幼儿园或升上初高中，对你们来说，这是在新学校的第一天，因此，假如你们感到有些紧张，那也是很正常的。我想也会有许多毕业班的学生们正自信满满地准备最后一年的冲刺。不过，我想无论你有多大，在读哪个年级，许多人都打心底里希望现在还在放暑假，以及今天不用那么早起床。 我可以理解这份心情。小时候，我们家在印度尼西亚住过几年，而我妈妈没钱送我去其他美国孩子们上学的地方去读书，因此她决定自己给我上课-时间是每周一到周五的凌晨4点半。 显然，我不怎么喜欢那么早就爬起来，很多时候，我就这么在厨房的桌子前睡着了。每当我埋怨的时候，我妈总会用同一副表情看着我说：“小鬼，你以为教你我就很轻松？“所以，我可以理解你
们中的许多人对于开学还需要时间来调整和适应，但今天我站在这里，是为了和你们谈一些重要的事情。我要和你们谈一谈你们每个人的教育，以及在新的学年里，你们应当做些什么。 我做过许多关于教育的讲话，也常常用到“责任”这个词。我谈到过教师们有责任激励和启迪你们，督促你们学习。我谈到过家长们有责任看管你们认真学习，完成作业，不要成天只会看电视或打游戏机。我也很多次谈到过政府有责任设定高标准严要求，协助老师和校长们的工作，改变在有些学校里学生得不到应有的学习机会的现状。但哪怕这一切都达到最好，哪怕我们有最尽职的教师，最好的家长，和最优秀的学校，假如你们不去履行自己的责任的话，那么这一切努力都会白费。 -除非你每天准时去上学，除非你认真地听老师讲课，除非你把父母，长辈和其他大人们说的话放在心上，除非你肯付出成功所必需的努力，否则这一切都会失去意义。而这就是我今天讲话的主题：对于自己的教育，你们中每一个人的责任。首先，我想谈谈你们对于自己有什么责任。 你们中的每一个人都会有自己擅长的东西，每一个人都是有用之材，而发现自己的才能是什么，就是你们要对自己担起的责任。教育给你们提供了发现自己才能的机会。或许你能写出优美的文字-甚至有一天能让那些文字出现在书籍和报刊上-但假如不在英语课上经常练习写作，你不会发现自己有这样的天赋，或许你能成为一个发明家，创造家- ，或研制出新的药物与疫苗甚至设计出像今天的iPhone一样流行的产品-但假如不在自然科学课程上做上几次实
The White House Office of the Press Secretary For Immediate Release November16,2009 Remarks by President Barack Obama at Town Hall Meeting with Future Chinese Leaders Museum of Science and Technology,Shanghai,China 1:18P.M.CST PRESIDENT OBAMA: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.) 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,
America has elected the greatest political speaker for a generation. You may think that there’s nothing for you t o l e a r n f r o m B a r a c k O b a m a ’s speechmaking skills – that speaking to 200,000 people at Grant Park, Chicago is too far removed from the presentation you m i g h t g i v e t o y o u r s t a f f , t o y o u r management team or to potential clients. Here are six lessons you can learn from Obama’s acceptance speech at Grant Park. 美国为这个时代选出了一位最厉害的政治演说家。 你可能觉得巴拉克?奥巴马的演讲对你来说，没什么可 以学的。奥巴马是在芝加哥的格兰特公园，向20万人 发表演说，而你要面对的人群是职员、管理团队和潜在 客户，你也许觉得这两者根本就不搭调嘛！下面是6 个根据奥巴马在格兰特公园发表的提名演讲总结出的 演讲技巧， 可供您学学。 The Secret of Obama’s Charm in Speech 奥巴马演讲的魅力秘诀
1. Know your audience It would have been easy for Obama to fall into the trap of talking to the 200,000 people before him in Grant Park. He didn’t. He spoke to Americans in their living rooms, he spoke to those who voted for McCain, he spoke to people watching him across the world – leaders and the poorest of the poor. He knew who his audience was. “And to all those watching tonight from beyond our shores, from parliaments and palaces, to those who are huddled around radios in the forgotten corners of the world, our stories are singular, but our destiny is shared, and a new dawn of American leadership is at hand.” 2. Envelop your point in a story The long history of the campaign for civil rights in America made Obama’s election possible. Obama enveloped this point with the story of Anne Dixon Cooper, a 106 year old woman who was born the daughter of slaves, and has lived through the milestons of the civil rights movement. “She was born just a generation past slavery; a time when there were no cars on the road or planes in the sky; when someone like her couldn’t vote for two reasons — because she was a woman and because of the color of her skin.” That’s far more emotionally engaging than giving us a history lesson. 1、了解观众 在格兰特公园面对着20万观众演讲，奥巴马很容易踩到地雷。可是他没有。他对着在家里起居室里的美国人讲话；他对着投票给麦凯恩的人讲话；他对着全世界关注他的人讲话，从各国政要到穷国中最穷的人。他知道他的观众是谁。 “对于那些身居海外，正在看着这里的美国人，还有在国会、白宫和在世界的某个角落围坐在收音机前的人们——我们可能有不同的经历， 但是我们有相同的目标， 美国的崭新黎明正浮现在我们的面前。 2、在故事中， 涵盖观点 美国长期以来争取民权运动的漫长历史，使奥巴马的参选成为可能。奥巴马用安妮?迪克森?库珀的故事表达了这个观点。库珀是一位106岁高龄的女性， 她的父母是奴隶；她经历了民权运动的几个重要里程碑。 “她生于黑暗的奴隶时代，那个时候路上没有汽车，天上也没有飞机。当时的她不能投票，只有两个原因——她的性别和她的肤色。” 这样感染力强多了， 效果比干巴巴的历史课棒多了。
奥巴马上海演讲稿中文版 上提出的一些问题，这些问题由在座的一些学生和洪博培大使代为提出。很抱歉，我的中文不如你们的英文，但我期待着这个和你们对话的机会。 这是我首次访问中国，看到你们壮丽的国家，我感到很兴奋。在上海，我们看到了全球瞩目的发展——高耸的大厦、繁忙的街道、创业的动态。这些都是中国步入21世纪的迹象，让我感到赞叹。同时，我也期盼看到向我们展现中国悠久历史的古迹。明天和后天我会在北京，希望有机会看到壮观的故宫和奇迹般的长城。的确，这是一个既有丰富的历史，又对未来的希望充满信心的国家。 我们两国的关系也是如此。毫无疑问，上海在美中关系史上是一个具有重大意义的城市。正是在这里，37年前发布的《上海公报》(shanghai munique)开启了我们两国政府和两国人民接触交往的新篇章。然而，美国与这个城市以及这个国家的纽带可以追溯到更久远的过去，直至美国独立初期。 1784年，我们的建国之父乔治?华盛顿主持了“中国女皇号”(empress of china)的下水仪式。这条船前往中国海岸，寻求与清朝通商。华盛顿希望看到这条悬挂美国国旗的船前往世界各地，与像中国这样的国家缔结新的纽带。这是通常的美国人的愿望——希望达到新的地平线，建立新的、互利的伙伴关系。 在此后的两个世纪中，历史洪流使我们两国关系向许多不同的方向发展，但即使在动荡的岁月中，两国人民也抓住机会发展了深入的、甚至极不平凡的关系。例如，美国人民永远不会忘记，二战期间，美国飞行员在中国上空被击落后，中国公民冒着失去一切的危险护理他们。 参加过二战的中国老兵仍然热情欢迎故地重游的美国老兵，他们曾经在那里作战，帮助中国从占领下获得解放。 近40年前，简单的乒乓球比赛带来了两国关系的解冻，使我们两国建立起另一种。这种接触令人意外，但却恰恰促成了其成功，因为尽管我们之间存在许多分歧，但是我们共同的人性和共同的好奇心得以从中显现。正如一位美国乒乓球队员在回忆对中国的访问时所说：“那里的人民和我们一样??这个国家和美国有许多相似之处，也有很大区别。” 无须赘言，这个小小的契机带来了《上海公报》的问世，并最终促使美中两国在1979年建立正式外交关系。请看在此后的30年，我们取得了多么长足的进展。
奥巴马2009年全美开学演讲 Hello, everybody! Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, everybody. All right, everybody go ahead and have a seat. How is everybody doing today? (Applause.) How about Tim Spicer? (Applause.) I am here with students at Wakefield High School in Arlington, Virginia. And we’ve got students tuning in from all across America, from kindergarten through 12th grade. And I am just so glad that all could join us today. And I want to thank Wakefield for being such an outstanding host. Give yourselves a big round of applause. (Applause.) 大家好！谢谢你们。谢谢你们。谢谢你们大家。好，大家请就坐。你们今天都好吗？（掌声）蒂姆? 斯派塞（Tim Spicer ）好吗？（掌声）我现在与弗吉尼亚州阿灵顿郡韦克菲尔德高中的学生们在一起。美国各地从小学预备班到高三年级的学生正在收听收看。我很高兴大家今天都能参与。我还要感谢韦克菲尔德高中出色的组织安排。请为你们自己热烈鼓掌。（掌声） I know that for many of you, today is the first day of school. And for those of you in kindergarten, or starting middle or high school, it’s your first day in a new school, so it’s understandable if you’re a little nervous. I ima gine 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 litt le bit longer this morning. 我知道，今天是你们很多人开学的日子。对于进入小学预备班、初中或高中的学生，今天是你们来到新学校的第一天，心里可能有点紧张，这是可以理解的。我能想象有些毕业班学生现在感觉很不错——（掌声）——还有一年就毕业了。不论在哪个年级，你们有些人可能希望暑假更长一点，今天早上还能多睡一小会儿。 I know that feeling. When I was young, my family lived overseas. I lived in Indonesia for a few years. And my mother, she didn’t have the money to send me where all the American kids went to school, but she thought it was important for me to keep up with an American education. So she decided to teach me extra lessons
