英语演讲稿21日：总统呼吁改善美国经济大环境(中英lrc)Obama’s Weekly Address WEEKLY ADDRESS: Bringing our Workplace Policies into the 21st Century 奥巴马每周电视讲话:总统呼吁改善美国经济大环境Hi, everybody.大家好！As President, my top priority is rebuilding an economy where everybody who works hard has the chance to get ahead.作为总统，我最首要的职责就是重建一个让所有辛勤工作的人都能取得成功的经济环境。

That’s what I’ll spend some time talking about on Monday, at the White House Summit on Working Families.我将在周一举行的白宫工薪家庭峰会上就此话题谈论我的观点。

We’re bringing together business leaders and workers to talk about the challenges that working parents face every day, and how we can address them together.届时我将与众多企业领导和员工们汇聚一堂，共同探讨工薪父母们每天面对的挑战，并对此提出我们所能实现的解决办法。

Take paid family leave.带薪产假和探亲假。

Many jobs don’t offer adequate leave to care for a new baby or an ailing parent, so workers can’t afford to be there when their family needs them the most.多数岗位都不提供足够的假期让员工有时间去照顾新生婴儿或生病的父母，因此，员工无法在他们的家庭急需他们的时候及时到位，因为他们无法承受这一代价。

布什演讲稿（中英对照）演讲范文Thank ou!Chief Justie Rehnquist, President Carter, President Bush， President Clinton, distinguished guests and m fello itizens, the peaeful transfer of authorit is rare in histor, et mon in our ountr. With a simple oath, e affirm old traditions and make ne beginnings.As I begin, I thank President Clinton for his servie to our nation.And I thank Vie President Gore for a ontest onduted ith spirit and ended ith grae.I am honored and humbled to stand here, here so man of Ameria's leaders have e before me, and so man ill follo.We have a plae, all of us, in a long stor -- a stor e ontinue, but hose end e ill not see. It is the stor of a ne orld that beame a friend and liberator of the old, a stor of a slave-holding soiet that beame a servant of freedom, the stor of a poer that ent into the orld to protet but not possess, to defend but not to onquer.It is the Amerian stor -- a stor of flaed and fallible people, united aross the generations b grand and enduring ideals.The grandest of these ideals is an unfolding Amerian promise that everone belongs, that everone deserves a hane, that no insignifiant person as ever born.Amerians are alled to enat this promise in our lives and in our las. And though our nation has sometimes halted, and sometimes delaed, e must follo no other ourse.Through muh of the last entur, Ameria's faith in freedom and demora as a rok in a raging sea. No it is a seed upon the ind, taking root in man nations.Our demorati faith is more than the reed of our ountr, it is the inborn hope of our humanit, an ideal e arr but do not on, a trust e bear and pass along. And even after nearl 225 ears, e have a long a et to travel.While man of our itizens prosper, others doubt the promise, even the justie, of our on ountr. The ambitions of some Amerians are limited b failing shools and hiddenprejudie and the irumstanes of their birth. And sometimes our differenes run so deep, it seems e share a ontinent, but not a ountr.We do not aept this, and e ill not allo it. Our unit, our union, is the serious ork of leaders and itizens in ever generation. And this is m solemnpledge: I ill ork to build a single nation of justie and opportunit.I kno this is in our reah beause e are guided b a poer larger than our selves ho reates us equal in His image.And e are onfident in priniples that unite and lead us onard.Ameria has never been united b blood or birth or soil. We are bound b ideals that move us beond our bakgrounds, lift us above our interests and teah us hat it means to be itizens. Ever hild must be taught these priniples. Ever itizen must uphold them. And ever immigrant, b embraing these ideals, makes our ountr more, not less, Amerian.Toda, e affirm a ne mitment to live out our nation's promise through ivilit, ourage, passion and harater.Ameria, at its best, mathes a mitment to priniple ith a onern for ivilit. A ivil soiet demands from eah of us goodill and respet, fair dealing and forgiveness.Some seem to believe that our politis an afford to bepett beause, in a time of peae, the stakes of our debates appear small.But the stakes for Ameria are never small. If our ountr does not lead the ause of freedom, it ill not be led. If e do not turn the hearts of hildren toard knoledge and harater, e ill lose their gifts and undermine their idealism. If e permit our eonom to drift and deline, the vulnerable ill suffer most.We must live up to the alling e share. Civilit is not a tati or a sentiment. It is the determined hoie of trust over niism, of munit over haos. And this mitment, if e keep it, is a a to shared aplishment.Ameria, at its best, is also ourageous.Our national ourage has been lear in times of depression and ar, hen defending mon dangers defined our mon good. No e must hoose if the example of our fathers and mothers ill inspire us or ondemn us. We must sho ourage in a time of blessing b onfronting problems instead of passing them on to future generations.Together, e ill relaim Ameria's shools, before ignorane and apath laim more oung lives.We ill reform Soial Seurit and Mediare, sparing our hildren from struggles e have the poer to prevent. And e ill redue taxes, to reover the momentum of our eonom and reard the effort and enterprise of orking Amerians.We ill build our defenses beond hallenge, lest eakness invite hallenge.We ill onfront eapons of mass destrution, so that a ne entur is spared ne horrors.The enemies of libert and our ountr should make no mistake: Ameria remains engaged in the orld b histor and b hoie, shaping a balane of poer thatf avors freedom. We illdefend our allies and our interests. We ill sho purposeithout arrogane. We ill meet aggression and bad faith ith resolve and strength. And to all nations, e ill speak for the values that gave our nation birth.Ameria, at its best, is passionate. In the quiet of Amerian onsiene, e kno that deep, persistent povert is unorth of our nation's promise.And hatever our vies of its ause, e an agree that hildren at risk are not at fault. Abandonment and abuse are not atsof God, the are failures of love.And the proliferation of prisons, hoever neessar, is no substitute for hope and order in our souls.Where there is suffering, there is dut. Amerians in need are not strangers, the are itizens, not problems, but priorities. And all of us are diminished hen an are hopeless.Government has great responsibilities for publi safet and publi health, for ivil rights and mon shools. Yet passion is the ork of a nation, not just a government.And some needs and hurts are so deep the ill onl respond to a mentor's touh or a pastor's praer. Churh and harit, snagogue and mosque lend our munities their humanit, and theill have an honored plae in our plans and in our las.Man in our ountr do not kno the pain of povert, but e an listen to those ho do.And I an pledge our nation to a goal: When e see that ounded traveler on the road to Jeriho, e ill not pass to the other side.Ameria, at its best, is a plae here personalresponsibilit is valued andexpeted.Enouraging responsibilit is not a searh for sapegoats, it is a all to onsiene. And though it requires sarifie, itbrings a deeper fulfillment. We find the fullness of life not onl in options, but in mitments. And e find that hildren and munit are the mitments that set us free.Our publi interest depends on private harater, on ivi dut and famil bonds and basi fairness, on unounted, unhonored ats of deen hih give diretion to our freedom.Sometimes in life e are alled to do great things. But asa saint of our times has said, ever da e are alled to dosmall things ith great love. The most important tasks of a demora are done b everone.I ill live and lead b these priniples: to advane m onvitions ith ivilit, to pursue the publi interest ith ourage, to speak for greater justie and passion, to all for responsibilit and tr to live it as ell.In all these as, I ill bring the values of our histor to the are of ourtimes.What ou do is as important as anthing government does. I ask ou to seek a mon good beond our fort; to defend needed reforms against eas attaks; to serve our nation, beginningith our neighbor. I ask ou to be itizens: itizens, not spetators; itizens, not subjets; responsible itizens,building munities of servie and a nation of harater.Amerians are generous and strong and deent, not beause e believe in ourselves, but beause e hold beliefs beond ourselves. When this spirit of itizenship is missing, no government program an replae it. When this spirit is present, no rong an stand against it.After the Delaration of Independene as signed, Virginia statesman John Page rote to Thomas Jefferson: "We kno the rae is not to the sift nor the battle to the strong. Do ou not think an angel rides in the hirlind and direts this storm?"Muh time has passed sine Jefferson arrived for his inauguration. The earsand hanges aumulate. But the themes of this da he ould kno: our nation's grand stor of ourage andits simple dream of dignit.We are not this stor's author, ho fills time and eternit ith his purpose. Yet his purpose is ahieved in our dut, and our dut is fulfilled in servie to one another.Never tiring, never ielding, never finishing, e rene that purpose toda, to make our ountr more just and generous, to affirm the dignit of our lives and ever life.This ork ontinues. This stor goes on. And an angel still rides in the hirlind and direts this storm.God bless ou all, and God bless Ameria.谢谢大家！尊敬的芮恩奎斯特大法官，卡特总统，布什总统，克林顿总统，尊敬的来宾们，我的同胞们，这次权利的和平过渡在历史上是罕见的，但在美国是平常的。

Protecting AmericansTHE PRESIDENT: Good afternoon, everybody. I've just finished a candid 1 公正的，率直的 and productive meeting with the CEOs of 12 of our nation's largest financial institutions. I asked them to come to Washington today -- at the end of this difficult year for their industry, but also for the economy -- to discuss where we've been, what we expect of them going forward, and how we can work together to accelerate economic recovery.Our nation's banks play, and have always played, a crucial role in our national economy -- from providing loans for homes and cars and colleges; to supplying the capital that allows entrepreneurs企业家 to turn ideas into products and businesses to grow; to helping 2 people save for a rainy day and a secure retirement退休，退役 . So it's clear that each of us has a stake in ensuring the strength and the vitality 3 活力，生气 of the financial system.And that's why one year ago, when many of these institutions were on the verge 4 of边缘 collapse 5 -- a predicament状态，困境 largely of their own making, oftentimes because they failed to manage risk properly -- we took difficult, and, frankly 6 , unpopular steps to pull themback from the brink 7 边缘 , steps that were necessary not just to save our financial system, but to save our economy as a whole.Today, due to the timely loans from the American people, our financial system has stabilized 8 , the stock market has sprung back to life, our economy is growing, and our banks are once again recording 9 profits. A year ago, many doubted that we would ever recover these investments, but we've managed this program well. This morning, another major bank announced that it would be repaying taxpayers 10 in full, and when they do, we'll have collected 60 percent of the money owed -- with interest. We expect other institutions to follow suit跟着做，学样 , and we are determined 11 to recover every last dime 12 for the American taxpayers.So my main message in today's meeting was very simple: that America's banks received extraordinary assistance from American taxpayers to rebuild their industry -- and now that they're back on their feet, we expect an extraordinary commitment from them to help rebuild our economy.That starts with finding ways to help creditworthy有信誉的small and medium-size businesses get the loans that they need to open their doors, grow their operations, and create new jobs. This is something I hear about from business owners and entrepreneurs across America -- that despite their best efforts, they're unable to get loans. At the same time, I've been hearing from bankers that they're willing to lend, but face a shortage of creditworthy individuals and businesses.Now, no one wants banks making the kinds of risky 13 loans that got us into this situation in the first place. And it's true that regulators are requiring them to hold more of their capital as a hedge against the kind of problems that we saw last year. But given the difficulty businesspeople are having as lending has declined, and given the exceptional assistance banks received to get them through a difficult time, we expect them to explore every responsible way to help get our economy moving again.And I heard from these executives that they are engaging in various programs like "second look" programs, hiring more folks, raising their target goals in terms of lending -- all of which sounded positive, but we expect some results, because I'm getting too many letters from small businesses who explain that they are creditworthy and banks that they've hada long-term relationship with are still having problems giving them loans. We think that's something that we can -- that can be fixed 14 . And so I urged these institutions here today to go back and take a third and fourth look about how they are operating when it comes to small business and medium-sized business lending.We also discussed the need to pass meaningful financial reform that will protect American consumers from exploitation and American -- the American economy from another financial crisis of the kind which we just came out of.I noted 15 the resistance of many of the financial sectors16 to these reforms -- the industry has lobbied vigorously against some of them -- some of these reforms on Capitol Hill. So I made it clear that it is both in the country's interest -- and ultimately, in the financial industry's interest -- to have updated rules of the road to prevent abuse andexcess. Short-term gains are of little value to our banks if they lead to long-term chaos 17 in the economy.And I made very clear that I have no intention of letting their lobbyists thwart 18 reforms necessary to protect the American people. If they wish to fight common-sense consumer protections, that's a fight I'm more than willing tohave.#p#分页标题#e# The way I see it, having recovered with the help of the American government and the American taxpayers, our banks now have a greater obligation to the goal of a wider recovery, a more stable system, and more broadly shared prosperity.So I urged them to work with us in Congress to finish the job of reforming our financial system to bring transparency and accountability to the financial markets; to ensure that the failure of one bank or financial institution won't spread throughout the entire system, and to help protect consumers from misleading and dishonest practices with products like credit and debit 19 cards, with mortgages and auto 20 and payday loans.Now, I should note that around the table all the financial industry executives said they supported financial regulatory reform. The problem is there's a big gap between what I'm hearing here in the White House and the activities of lobbyists on behalf of these institutions or associations of which they're a member up on Capitol Hill. I urged them to close that gap, and they assured me that they would make every effort to do so.In the end, my interest isn't in vilifying 21 any one person or institution or industry; it's not to dictate 22 to them or micromanage their compensation practices to ensure that consumers and -- my job is to ensure that consumers and the larger economy are protected from risky speculation 23 and predatory practices, that credit is flowing, that businesses can grow, and jobs are once again being created at the pace we need.Some of the banks and financial institutions have taken small but positive steps to improve lending to small and medium-sized businesses, as I indicated. They've begun reworking mortgages that are now underwater because of declining home values, and they have acknowledged that much more needs to be done going forward. Many have begun to follow our lead in shifting from paying huge cash bonuses to awarding long-term stock, which will encourage more prudent 24 decision-making -- but, as I indicated in this meeting, they certainly could be doing more on this front as well.These efforts reflect a recognition ultimately that the fate of our financial institutions is tied to the fate of our economy and our country -- and these institutions can't endure ifworkers don't have jobs, and businesses can't grow, and consumers don't have money to spend. Ultimately, in this country, we rise and fall together -- banks and small businesses, consumers and large corporations, and we have a shared interest in working together to ensure a lasting 25 recovery that will benefit all of us and not just some of us.I called today's meeting with this in mind, and I told the group that I look forward to continued engagement and progress in the months and years ahead.Thank you.END 12:46 P.M.

It was five years ago this week that a financial crisis on Wall Street spread to Main Street, and very nearly turned a recession into a depression.5年前的本周华尔街金融危机蔓延至中产阶级的经济危机，而这场危机差点将衰退变成萧条。

In a matter of months, millions of Americans were robbed of their jobs, their homes, their savings-after a decade in which they’d already been working harder and harder to just get by.在短短几个月的时间里，数百万美国人失去了工作，失去了他们十多年间辛辛苦苦辛苦打拼下来的住房和存款。

It was a crisis from which we’re still trying to recover.直到现在，我们还在努力从这场危机中恢复过来。

But thanks to the grit and determination of the American people, we are steadily recovering.但凭借美国人民的坚忍不拔，我们复苏的步伐很稳健。

Over the past three and a half years, our businesses have created seven and a half million new jobs.过去的三年半时间里，我们的企业创造了750多万个工作岗位。

英文版：My fellow citizens,We observe today not a victory of party but a celebration of freedom — symbolizing an end as wellas a beginning — signifying renewal as well as change. For I have sworn before you and Almighty God the same solemn oath our forebears prescribed nearly a century and three quarters ago.The world is very different now. For man holds in his mortal hands the power to abolish all forms of human poverty and all forms of human life. And yet the same revolutionary beliefs for which our forebears fought are still at issue around the globe — thebelief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state but from the hand of God.We dare not forget today that we are the heirs of that first revolution. Let the word go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, that thetorch has been passed to a new generation of Americans — born in this century, tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage — and unwilling to witness or permit theslow undoing of those human rights to which thisnation has always been committed, and to which we are committed today at home and around the world.Let every nation know, whether it wishes us wellor ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, to assure the survival and the success of liberty.This much we pledge — and more.To those old allies whose cultural and spiritual origins we share, we pledge the loyalty of faithful friends. United there is little we cannot do in a host of cooperative ventures. Divided there is little wecan do — for we dare not meet a powerful challenge at odds and split asunder.To those new states whom we welcome to the ranksof the free, we pledge our word that one form of colonial control shall not have passed away merely to be replaced by a far more iron tyranny. We shall not always expect to find them supporting our view. But we shall always hope to find them strongly supportingtheir own freedom — and to remember that, in the past, those who foolishly sought power by riding the back of the tiger ended up inside.To those peoples in the huts and villages across the globe struggling to break the bonds of mass misery, we pledge our best efforts to help them help themselves, for whatever period is required — not because the Communists may be doing it, not because we seek their votes, but because it is right. If a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannotsave the few who are rich.To our sister republics south of our border, we offer a special pledge — to convert our good words into good deeds — in a new alliance for progress —to assist free men and free governments in casting off the chains of poverty. But this peaceful revolution of hope cannot become the prey of hostile powers. Let all our neighbors know that we shall join with them to oppose aggression or subversion anywhere in the Americas. And let every other power know that this Hemisphere intends to remain the master of its own house.To that world assembly of sovereign states, the United Nations, our last best hope in an age where the instruments of war have far outpaced the instruments of peace, we renew our pledge of support — to prevent it from becoming merely a forum for invective — to strengthen its shield of the new and the weak — and to enlarge the area in which its writ may run.Finally, to those nations who would make themselves our adversary, we offer not a pledge but a request: that both sides begin anew the quest for peace, before the dark powers of destruction unleashed by science engulf all humanity in planned or accidental self-destruction.We dare not tempt them with weakness. For only when our arms are sufficient beyond doubt can we becertain beyond doubt that they will never be employed.But neither can two great and powerful groups of nations take comfort from our present course — both sides overburdened by the cost of modern weapons, both rightly alarmed by the steady spread of the deadly atom, yet both racing to alter that uncertain balance of terror that stays the hand of mankind's final war.So let us begin anew — remembering on both sides that civility is not a sign of weakness, and sincerity is always subject to proof. Let us never negotiate out of fear. But let us never fear to negotiate.Let both sides explore what problems unite us instead of belaboring those problems which divide us.Let both sides, for the first time, formulate serious and precise proposals for the inspection and control of arms, and bring the absolute power to destroy other nations under the absolute control ofall nations.Let both sides seek to invoke the wonders of science instead of its terrors. Together let us explore the stars, conquer the deserts, eradicate disease, tap the ocean depths, and encourage the arts and commerce.Let both sides unite to heed in all corners ofthe earth the command of Isaiah — to "undo the heavy burdens and let the oppressed go free."And if a beachhead of cooperation may push backthe jungle of suspicion, let both sides join in creating a new endeavor, not a new balance of power, but a new world of law, where the strong are just and the weak secure and the peace preserved.All this will not be finished in the first one hundred days. Nor will it be finished in the first one thousand days, nor in the life of this Administration, nor even perhaps in our lifetime on this planet. But let us begin.In your hands, my fellow citizens, more than in mine, will rest the final success or failure of our course. Since this country was founded, each generation of Americans has been summoned to give testimony to its national loyalty. The graves of young Americans who answered the call to service surround the globe.Now the trumpet summons us again-not as a call to bear arms, though arms we need; not as a call to battle, though embattled we are-but a call to bear the burden of a long twilight struggle, year in and year out, "rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation" — a struggle against the common enemies of man: tyranny, poverty, disease, and war itself.Can we forge against these enemies a grand and global alliance, North and South, East and West, that can assure a more fruitful life for all mankind? Will you join in that historic effort?In the long history of the world, only a few generations have been granted the role of defending freedom in its hour of maximum danger. I do not shrink from this responsibility — I welcome it. I do not believe that any of us would exchange places with any other people or any other generation. The energy, the faith, the devotion which we bring to this endeavor will light our country and all who serve it — and the glow from that fire can truly light the world.And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you — ask what you can do for your country.My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man.。

Vice President Biden, Mr. Chief Justice, Members of the United States Congress, distinguished guests, and fellow citizens:拜登副总统、首席大法官先生、国会议员们、尊敬的各位嘉宾、亲爱的公民们：Each time we gather to inaugurate a president, we bear witness to the enduring strength of our Constitution. We affirm the promise of our democracy. W e recall that what binds this nation together is not the colors of our skin or the tenets of our faith or the origins of our names. What makes us exceptional – what makes us American – is our allegiance to an idea, articulated in a declaration made more than two centuries ago:每一次我们集会庆祝总统就职都是在见证美国宪法的持久力量。

This week, because Democrats and responsible Republicans came tog ether, thegovernment was reopened, and the threat of default was removed from o ur economy.大家好！本周，由于民主党人和负责任的共和党人的共同努力，美国政府重新开启，经济中的违约威胁得以消除。

There’s been a lot of discussion lately of the politics of this shutdown. But the truth is , there wereno winners in this. At a time when our economy needs more growth and more jobs, themanufactured crises of these last few weeks actually harmed jobs and growth. And it’sunderstan dable that your frustration with what goes on in Washingto n has never been higher.最近，对这次政府关门的政治讨论有很多。

但事实是，在这一过程中没有赢家。

在我们的经济需要更多增长和更多工作岗位的当口，过去数周人为制造的危机，实际上伤害了工作和增长。

布什白宫演讲稿(双语)——“911事件”布什白宫电视讲话全文2001-09-12 9:45AM Today, our fellow citizens, our way of life, our very freedom came under attack in a series of deliberate and deadly terrorist acts. The victims were in airplanes or in their offices. Secretaries, business men and women, military and federal workers, moms and dads, friends and neighbors. Thousands of lives were suddenly ended by evil, despicable acts of terror.“晚上好，今天，我们的同胞，我们的生活，我们的自由，遭到了一系列有预谋的、惨无人道的恐怖分子袭击。

许多人在飞机上或者是在他们的办公室中不幸遇难，他们中有秘书，有商人和妇女，有军人和政府工作人员，有父亲和母亲，还有朋友和邻居。

数千个生命瞬间就被邪恶的恐怖主义袭击吞噬了。
