奥巴马在2016白宫记者协会晚宴的演讲英文全文

奥巴马演讲白宫国会野餐上的讲话Hello, everybody! (Applause.) Well, how’s thefood? (Cheers and applause.) We could not have a more beautiful day for this annual picnic, and we are just thrilled （兴奋的，激动的） that all of you had a chance to get over （获得，得到）. I know that folks were running a little bit late, many of you because of votes. But, you know, the fact of the matter is, is that we have had as tough a year and a half as America has seen in a couple of generations, and that's meant that Congress has had to do more on a whole range of issues.Right now obviously we’re looking at what’s happening in the Gulf 1 with deep concern, and that's going to put more additional pressure on Congress to work with states and the administration to help deal with this tragedy and this crisis.It is important, though, given the incredible sacrifices that so many of you have made and frankly 2 , from my perspective （远景，观点） , just as important are the sacrifices that your family makes -- you being away, you missing family events -- that every once in a while（偶尔，时常） we have an opportunity to get together and for me to say thank you to you for your incredible devotion to the country, regardless ofparty, and for both Michelle and I to say to your families how grateful we are for your service, and hopefully to have a little bit of time for fun and for fellowship and to remind ourselves of what’s so important in life.So I’m thrilled to see all the young people here who are here today. And we hope that you have a wonderful time.Band, you guys are great as always. (Applause.) Chefs, I think people are all voting with their mouths around here. (Applause.) I suspect there’s not going to be a lot of leftovers 3 （遗留，剩余物） .And on behalf of Michelle and myself, we hope that you enjoy the evening, and we are grateful to all of you for being here.So thank you very much. (Applause.)END 7:29 P.M. EDT■文章重点单词注释：1gulfn.海湾；深渊，鸿沟；分歧，隔阂参考例句：The gulf between the two leaders cannot be bridged.两位领导人之间的鸿沟难以跨越。

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。

奥巴马获胜演讲全文（中英文对照）The victory speech of Barack ObamaObama：奥巴马：Hello, Chicago.您好，芝加哥。

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.如果还有人对美国是否凡事都有可能存疑，还有人怀疑美国奠基者的梦想在我们所处的时代是否依然鲜活，还有人质疑我们的民主制度的力量，那么今晚，这些问题都有了答案。

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.这是设在学校和教堂的投票站前排起的前所未见的长队给出的答案；是等了三四个小时的选民所给出的答案，其中许多人都是有生以来第一次投票，因为他们认定这一次肯定会不一样，认为自己的声音会是这次大选有别于以往之所在。

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 just a collection of individuals or a collection of red states and blue states.这是所有美国人民共同给出的答案－－无论老少贫富，无论是民主党还是共和党，无论是黑人、白人、拉美裔、亚裔、原住民，是同性恋者还是异性恋者、残疾人还是健全人－－我们从来不是“红州”和“蓝州”的对立阵营。

奥巴马总统在美国国会黑人同盟晚宴上英语演讲稿Hello, CBC! (Applause.) Thank you so much. Everybody, have a seat. It is good to be with you here tonight. If it wasn’t black tie I would have worn my tan suit. (Laughter.) I thought it looked good. (Laughter.)Thank you, Chaka, for that introduction. Thanks to all of you for having me here this evening. Iwant to acknowledge the members of the Congressional Black Caucus and Chairwoman MarciaFudge for their outstanding work. (Applause.) Thank you, Shuanise Washington, and the CBCFoundation for doing so much to help our young people aim high and reach their potential.Tonight, I want to begin by paying special tribute to a man with whom all of you have workedclosely with; someone who served his country for nearly 40 years as a prosecutor, as a judge,and as Attorney General of the United States: Mr. Eric Holder. (Applause.) Throughout his longcareer in public service, Eric has built a powerful legacy of making sure that equal justice underthe law actually means something; that it applies to everybody -- regardless of race, or gender,or religion, or color, creed, disability, sexual orientation. He has been a great friend of mine.He has been a faithful servant of the American people. We will miss him badly. (Applause.)This year, we’ve been marking the 50th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act. We honor giants likeJohn Lewis -- (applause); unsung heroines like Evelyn Lowery. We honor the countlessAmericans, some who are in this room -- black, white, students, scholars, preachers,housekeepers, patriots all, who, with their bare hands, reached into the well of our nation’sfounding ideals and helped to nurture a more perfect union. We’ve reminded ourselves thatprogress is not just absorbing what has been done -- it’s advancing what’s left undone.Even before President Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act into law, even as the debate draggedon in the Senate, he was already challenging America to do more and march further, to builda Great Society -- one, Johnson said, “where no child will go unfed, and no youngster will gounschooled. Where no man who wants work will fail to find it. Where no citizen will be barredfrom any door because of his birthplace or his color or his church. Where peace and security iscommon among neighbors and possible among n ations.” “This is the world that waits for you,”he said. “Reach out for it now. Join the fight to finish the unfinished work.” To finish theunfinished work.America has made stunning progress since that time, over the past 50 years -- even over thepast five years. But it is the unfinished work that drives us forward.Some of our unfinished work lies beyond our borders. America is leading the effort to rally theworld against Russian aggression in Ukraine. America is leading the fight to contain andcombat Ebola in Africa. America is building and leading the coalition that will degrade andultimately destroy the terrorist group known as ISIL. As Americans, we are leading, and wedon’t shy away from these responsibilities; we welcome them. (Applause.) That’s what Americadoes. And we are grateful to the men and women in uniform who put themselves in harm’sway in service of the country that we all love. (Applause.)So we’ve got unfinished work overseas, but we’ve got some unfinished work right here athome. (Applause.) After the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression, our businesseshave now created 10 million new jobs over the last 54 months. This is the longest uninterruptedstretch of job growth in our history. (Applause.) In our history. But we understand our work isnot done until we get the kind of job creation that means everybody who wants work can a findjob.We’ve done some work on health care, too. I don’t know if you’ve noticed. Thanks to theAffordable Care Act, we’ve seen a 26 percent decline in the uninsured rate in America. (Applause.) African Americans have seen a 30 percent decline. And, by the way, the cost ofhealth care isn’t going up as fast anymore either. Everybody was predicting this was all going tobe so expensive. We’ve saved $800 billion -- (applause) -- in Medicare because of the work thatwe’ve done -- slowing the cost, improving quality, and improving access. Despite unyieldingopposition, this change has happened just in the last couple years.But we know our work is not yet done until we get into more communities, help more uninsuredfolks get covered, especially in those states where the governors aren’t being quite ascooperative as we’d like them to be. (Applause.) You know who you are. It always puzzles mewhen you decide to take a stand to make sure poor folks in your state can’t get healthinsurance even though it doesn’t cost you a dime. That doesn’t make much sense to me, but Iwon’t go on on that topic. (Applause.) We’ve got more work to do.It’s easy to take a stand when you’ve got health insurance. (Laughter and applause.) I’mgoing off script now, but -- (laughter) -- that’s what happens at the CBC.Our high school graduation rate is at a record high, the dropout rate is falling, more youngpeople are earning college degrees than ever before. Last year, the number of children living inpoverty fell by 1.4 million -- the largest decline since 1966. (Applause.) Since I took office,the overall crime rate and the overall incarceration rate has gone down by about 10 percent.That’s the first time they’ve declined at the same time in more than 40 years. Fewer folks injail. Crime still going down. (Applause.)But our work is not done when too many children live in crumbling neighborhoods, cyclingthrough substandard schools, traumatized by daily violence. Our work is not done whenworking Americans of all races have seen their wages and incomes stagnate, even as corporateprofits soar; when African-American unemployment is still twice as high as whiteunemployment; when income inequality, on the rise for decades, continues to hold backhardworking communities, especially communities of color. We’ve got unfinished work. And weknow what to do. That’s the worst part -- we know what to do.We know we’ve got to invest in infrastructure, and manufacturing, and research anddevelopment that creates new jobs. We’ve got to keep rebuilding a middle class economy withladders of opportunity, so that hard work pays off and you see higher wages and higherincomes, and fair pay for women doing the same work as men, and workplace flexibility forparents in case a child gets sick or a parent needs some help. (Applause.) We’ve got to buildmore Promise Zones partnerships to support local revitalization of hard-hit communities. We’vegot to keep investing in early education. We want to bring preschool to every four-year-old inthis country. (Applause.) And we want every child to have an excellent teacher. And we want toinvest in our community colleges and expand Pell Grants for more students. And I’m going tokeep working with you to make college more affordable. Because every child in America, nomatter who she is, no matter where she’s born, no matter how much money her parents have,ought to be able to fulfill her God-given potential. That’s what we believe. (Applause.) So I just want everybody to understand -- we have made enormous progress. There’s almostno economic measure by which we are not better off than when I took office. (Applause.)Unemployment down. Deficits down. Uninsured down. Poverty down. Energy productionup.Manufacturing back. Auto industry back. But -- and I just list these things just so if you have adiscussion with one of your friends -- (laughter) -- and they’re confused. Stock market up.Corporate balance sheet strong. In fact, the folks who are doing the best, they’re the ones whocomplain the most. (Laughter and applause.) So you can just point these things out.But we still have to close these opportunity gaps. And we have to close the justice gap -- howjustice is applied, but also how it is perceived, how it is experienced. (Applause.) Eric Holderunderstands this. (Applause.) That’s what we saw in Ferguson this summer, when MichaelBrown was killed and a community was divided. We know that the unrest continues. And Ericspent some time with the residents and police of Ferguson, and the Department of Justice hasindicated that its civil rights investigation is ongoing.Now, I won’t comment on the investigation. I know that Michael’s family is here tonight. (Applause.) I know that nothing any of us can say can ease the grief of losing a child so soon.But the anger and the emotion that followed his death awakened our nation once again to thereality that people in this room have long understood, which is, in too many communitiesaround the country, a gulf of mistrust exists between local residents and law enforcement.Too many young men of color feel targeted by law enforcement, guilty of walking while black,or driving while black, judged by stereotypes that fuel fear and resentment and hopelessness.We know that, statistically, in everything from enforcing drug policy to applying the deathpenalty to pulling people over, there are significant racial disparities. That’s just the statistics.One recent poll showed that the majority of Americans think the criminal justice systemdoesn’t treat people of all races equally. Think about that. That’s not just blacks, notjustLatinos or Asians or Native Americans saying things may not be unfair. That’s most Americans.And that has a corrosive effect -- not just on the black community; it has a corrosive effect onAmerica. It harms the communities that need law enforcement the most. It makes folks whoare victimized by crime and need strong policing reluctant to go to the police because theymay not trust them. And the worst part of it is it scars the hearts of our children. It scars thehearts of the white kids who grow unnecessarily fearful of somebody who doesn’t look likethem. It stains the heart of black children who feel as if no matter what he does, he will alwaysbe under suspicion. That is not the society we want. It’s not the society that our childrendeserve. (Applause.) Whether you’re black or white, you don’t want that for America.It was interesting -- Ferguson was used by some of America’s enemies and critics to deflectattention from their shortcomings overseas; to undermine our efforts to promote justicearound the world. They said, well, look at what’s happened to you back home.But as I said this week at the United Nations, America is special not because we’re perfect;America is special because we work to address our problems, to make our union more perfect.We fight for more justice. (Applause.) We fight to cure what ails us. We fight for our ideals, andwe’re willing to criticize ourselves when we fall short. And we address our differences in theopen space of democracy -- with respect for the rule of law; with a place for people of everyrace and religion; and with an unyielding belief that people who love their country can changeit. That’s what makes us special -- not because we don’t have problems, but because we work tofix them. And we will continue to work to fix this.And to that end, we need to help communities and law enforcement buildtrust, buildunderstanding, so that our neighborhoods stay safe and our young people stay on track. Andunder the leadership of Attorney General Eric Holder, the Justice Department has launched anational effort to do just that. He’s also been working to make the criminal justice systemsmarter and more effective by addressing unfair sentencing disparities, changing departmentpolicies on charging mandatory minimums, promoting stronger reentry programs for thosewho have paid their debt to society. (Applause.)And we need to address the unique challenges that make it hard for some of our young peopleto thrive. For all the success stories that exist in a room like this one, we all know relatives,classmates, neighbors who were just as smart as we were, just as capable as we were, bornwith the same light behind their eyes, the same joy, the same curiosity about the world -- butsomehow they didn’t get the support they needed, or the encouragement they needed, orthey made a mistake, or they missed an opportunity; they weren’t able to overcome theobstacles that they faced.And so, in February, we launched My Brother’s Keeper. (Applause.) And I was the first one toacknowledge government can’t play the only, or even the primary, role in the lives of ourchildren. But what we can do is bring folks together, and that’s what we’re doing --philanthropies, business leaders, entrepreneurs, faith leaders, mayors, educators, athletes, andthe youth themselves -- to examine how can we ensure that our young men have the tools theyneed to achieve their full potential.And next week, I’m launching My Brother’s Keeper Community Challenge, asking everycommunity in the country -- big cities and small towns, rural counties, tribal nations -- topublicly commit to implementing strategies that will ensure all young people cansucceed,starting from the cradle, all the way to college and a career. It’s a challenge to local leaders tofollow the evidence and use the resources on what works for our kids. And we’ve already got100 mayors, county officials, tribal leaders, Democrats, Republicans signed on. And we’re goingto keep on signing them up in the coming weeks and months. (Applause.) But they’re going toneed you -- elected leaders, business leaders, community leaders -- to make this effortsuccessful. We need all of us to come together to help all of our young people address thevariety of challenges they face.And we’re not forgetting about the girls, by the way. I got two daughters -- I don’t know if younoticed. (Laughter.) African American girls are more likely than their white peers also to besuspended, incarcerated, physically harassed. Black women struggle every day with biases thatperpetuate oppressive standards for how they’re supposed to look and how they’re supposedto act. Too often, they’re either left under the hard light of scrutiny, or cloaked in a kind ofinvisibility.So in addition to the new efforts on My Brother’s Keeper, the White House Council for Womenand Girls has for years been working on issues affecting women and girls of color, fromviolence against women, to pay equity, to access to health care. And you know Michelle hasbeen working on that. (Applause.) Because she doesn’t think our daughters should be treateddifferently than anybody else’s son. I’ve got a vested interest in making sure that our daughtershave the same opportunities as boys do. (Applause.)So that’s the world we’ve got to reach for -- the world where every single one of our childrenhas the opportunity to pursue their measure of happiness. That’s our unfinished work. Andwe’re going to have to fight for it. We’ve got to stand up for it. Andwe have to vote for it. Wehave to vote for it. (Applause.) All around the country, wherever I see folks, they always say, oh, Barack, we’re praying for you-- boy, you’re so great; look, you got all gray hair, you looking tired. (Laughter.) We’re prayingfor you. Which I appreciate. (Laughter.) But I tell them, after President Johnson signed theCivil Rights Act, he immediately moved on to what he called “the meat in the coconut” -- avoting rights act bill. And some of his administration argued that’s too much, it’s too soon.But the movement knew that if we rested after the Civil Rights Act, then all we could do waspray that somebody would enforce those rights. (Applause.)So whenever I hear somebody say they’re praying for me, I say “thank you.” Thank you -- Ibelieve in the power of prayer. But we know more than prayer. We need to vote. (Applause.)We need to vote. That will be helpful. It will not relieve me of my gray hair, but it will help mepass some bills. (Laughter.)Because people refused to give in when it was hard, we get to celebrate the 50th anniversaryof the Voting Rights Act next year. Until then, we’ve got to protect it. We can’t just celebrateit; we’ve got to protect it. Because there are people still trying to pass voter ID laws to makeit harder for folks to vote. And we’ve got to get back to our schools and our offices and ourchurches, our beauty shops, barber shops, and make sure folks know there’s an electioncoming up, they need to know how to register, and they need to know how and when to vote.We’ve got to tell them to push back against the cynics; prove everybody wrong who says thatchange isn’t possible. Cynicism does not fix anything. Cynicism is very popular in Americasometimes. It’s propagated in the media. But cynicism didn’t put anybodyon the moon.Cynicism didn’t pass the Voting Rights Act. Hope is what packed buses full of freedom riders.Hope is what led thousands of black folks and white folks to march from Selma to Montgomery.Hope is what got John Lewis off his back after being beaten within an inch of his life, and choseto keep on going. (Applause.)Cynicism is a choice, but hope is a better choice. And our job right now is to convince thepeople who are privileged to represent to join us in finishing that fight that folks like Johnstarted. Get those souls to the polls. Exercise their right to vote. And if we do, then Iguarantee you we’ve got a brighter future ahead.Thank you, God bless you. Keep praying. But go out there and vote. God bless America. (Applause.)。

完美精华版奥巴马演讲中英文对照Ladies and gentlemen,Today, I stand before you as the President of the United States, humbled by the trust you have placed in me and grateful for the opportunity to address you all. The challenges we face are great, but together, we can overcome them and build a brighter future for our nation and the world.女士们先生们，今天，作为美国总统，我站在你们面前，对你们对我的信任感到谦卑，感激有机会向你们全体发表讲话。

我们面临的挑战艰巨，但是我们可以共同克服它们，为我们的国家和世界建设一个更加光明的未来。

As I look back on the past eight years, I am proud of what we have accomplished. We have overcome economic recession, expanded healthcare coverage, and made progress in areas such as climate change and marriage equality. But there is still work to be done.回顾过去的八年，我为我们所取得的成就感到自豪。

我们克服了经济衰退，扩大了医疗保障范围，在气候变化和婚姻平等等领域取得了进展。

但是还有工作要做。

In the years ahead, we must continue to strive for progress and upholdthe values that make our nation strong. We must invest in education, support innovation and entrepreneurship, and ensure that every citizen has the opportunity to succeed. Together, we can build an inclusive and prosperous society.在未来的岁月里，我们必须继续努力进取，坚守使我们国家强大的价值观。

2016年奥巴马就职演讲稿英文原稿(附中文翻译)篇一：奥巴马就职演说英文版(附中文翻译)奥巴马就职演说英文版（极好的口语材料，去背吧）My fellow citizens：I stand here today humbled by the task before us,grateful for the trust you have bestowed,mindful of the sacrifices borne by our ancestors.I thank President Bush for his service to ournation,as well as the generosity and cooperation he has shown throughout this transition.Forty-four Americans have now taken the presidential oath.The words have been spoken duringrising tides of prosperity and the still waters of peace.Yet,every so often the oath is taken amidstgathering clouds and raging storms.At these moments,America has carried on not simplybecause of the skill or vision of those in high office,but because We the People have remainedfaithful to the ideals of our forbearers,and true to our founding documents.So it has been.So it must be with this generation of Americans.That we are in the midst of crisis is now well understood.Our nation is at war,against afar-reaching network of violence and hatred.Our economy is badly weakened,a consequence ofgreed and irresponsibility on the part of some,but also our collective failure to make hardchoices and prepare the nation for a new age.Homes have been lost;jobs shed;businessesshuttered.Our health care is too costly;our schools fail too many;and each day brings furtherevidence that the ways we use energy strengthen our adversaries and threaten our planet.These are the indicators of crisis,subject to data and statistics.Less measurable but no lessprofound is a sapping of confidence across our land -a nagging fear that America’s decline isinevitable,and that the next generation must lower its sights.Today I say to you that the challenges we face are real.They are serious and they are many.Theywill not be met easily or in a short span of time.But know this,America -they will be met.On this day,we gather because we have chosen hope over。

感恩节体现了美国人的包容与伟大Weekly Address: This Thanksgiving, Recognizing the Greatness of American GenerosityHi, everybody. In 1620, a small band of pilgrims came to this continent, refugees who had fled persecution and violence in their native land. Nearly 400 years later, we remember their part in the American story -- and we honor the men and women who helped them in their time of need.Thanksgiving is a day for food and football, and for hoping the turkey didn't turn out too dry. But it's also a day to count our blessings and give back to others -- a reminder that no matter our circumstances, all of us have something to be grateful for. Maybe it's good health, a new addition to the family, or a child taking a next step toward college or a career. Maybe it's a new job, or long overdue raise. Maybe it's something as simple, and as important, as the chance to spend time with the people who matter most.Of course, every American can be thankful for the chance to live in a country founded on the belief that all of us are created equal. And as President, I'm thankful that I get to see the best of America every day -- the courage of our troops and veterans, the resilience of our families, and the basic goodness of the ordinary people who call this country.On this uniquely American holiday, we also remember that so much of our greatness comes from our generosity. There's the generosity of Americans who volunteer at food banks and shelters, making sure that no one goes hungry on a day when so many plates are full. There's the generosity of Americans who take part not just in Black Friday and Cyber Monday, but Giving Tuesday -- recognizing that in the holiday season, what you give is as important as what you get.And I've been touched by the generosity of the Americans who've written me letters and emails in recent weeks, offering to open their homes to refugees fleeing the brutality of ISIL.Now, people should remember that no refugee can enter our borders until they undergo the highest security checks of anyone traveling to the United States. That was the case before Paris, and it's the case now. And what happened in Paris hasn't stopped Americans from opening their arms anyway.One woman from Pennsylvania wrote me to say, "Money is tight for us in my household ... But i have a guest room. I have a pantry full of food. We can do this." Another woman from Florida told me her family's history dates back to the Mayflower -- and she said that welcoming others is part of "what it means to be an American."Nearly four centuries after the Mayflower set sail, the world is still full of pilgrims -- men and women who want nothing more than the chance for a safer, better future for themselves and their families. What makes America America is that we offer that chance. We turn Lady Liberty's light to the world, and widen our circle of concern to say that all God's children are worthy of our compassion and care. That's part of what makes this the greatest country on Earth.I hope that you and your family have wonderful Thanksgiving, surrounded by loved ones, and fullof joy and gratitude. And together, may we all play our own small part in the American story, and write a next chapter that future generations can be thankful for.。

Mr. Speaker, Mr. Vice President, Members of Congress, my fellow Americans:议长先生、副总统先生、各位国会议员和美国同胞们：Tonight marks the eighth year I've come here to report on the State of the Union. And for this final one, I'm going to try to make it shorter. I know some of you are antsy to get back to Iowa.今晚是我在这里做国情咨文的第八个年头，也是最后一次。

我将尽量简而言之。

我知道你们中有些人急着回爱荷华州（译者注：两党党内预选进行地）。

I also understand that because it's an election season, expectations for what we'll achieve this year are low. Still, Mr. Speaker, I appreciate the constructive approach you and the other leaders took at the end of last year to pass a budget and make tax cuts permanent for working families. So I hope we can work together this year on bipartisan priorities like criminal justice reform, and helping people who are battling prescription drug abuse. We just might surprise the cynics again.我也理解此时正当大选之季，因此公众对我们今年成就的期望并不高。

奥巴马总统夫妇在白宫＂儿童国宴＂英语演讲稿Ladies and gentlemen, esteemed guests, we are delighted to welcome you all to the White House Children's State Dinner. It is truly wonderful to see the brightest and the best representatives of the next generation of our great country here with us today. We are so happy to see all the young chefs who have made their way here today from every part of America.We wanted to create an event that celebrated the creativity, the talent, and the skill of young cooks who can show the nation how to eat better, stay healthy, and care for our planet. This event is truly a celebration of the best and brightest young chefs that America has to offer.We thank all the parents, teachers, and guardians who have supported and inspired these young chefs to accomplish their dreams. We know that everyone here today has worked hard to be here, and we applaud all of you for your hard work, dedication, and talent.As you all know, our family is passionate about healthy eating and the importance of nutrition to our lives. We have learned that having the right nutrition helps us not only focus better but also stay energetic and healthy. That is why we are thrilled to see so many of you have embraced the theme of healthy cooking. You have challenged yourselves to create healthy, imaginative, and delicious recipes that are not only good for you but also good for the environment.It fills our hearts with pride and joy to know that so many of youhave taken the initiative to cook healthy meals for yourselves, your families, and your friends. The recipes you have created are not only delicious but also show how you can make healthy choices in your meals by including more fruits and vegetables and whole grains.But as you learn about healthy eating, you must never forget the other important factor of nutrition, which is portion control. We all have to be mindful of how much we eat, and avoid food wastage. Our world is changing fast, and we all need to become more aware of the impact our food choices have on the environment. Therefore, let us all work together to ensure that the food we eat is nutritious, delicious, and sustainable.Lastly, we would like to thank all the stakeholders who have made this event possible, from the sponsors to the judges, who have given their time to support the young chefs. And, of course, we must thank the First Lady's team, who has worked tirelessly to make this event a reality.Ladies and gentlemen, we wish you all a wonderful day and a bright future for each one of you. Thank you!。

[size］My fellow citizens：各位同胞：I stand here today humbled by the task before us，grateful for the trust you have bestowed，mindful of the sacrifices borne by our ancestors. I thank President Bush for his service to our nation，as well as the generosity and cooperation he has shown throughout this transition.今天我站在这里,为眼前的重责大任感到谦卑,对各位的信任心怀感激，对先贤的牺牲铭记在心。

我要谢谢布什总统为这个国家的服务，也感谢他在政权转移期间的宽厚和配合。

Forty—four Americans have now taken the presidential oath. The words have been spoken during rising tides of prosperity and the still waters of peace。

Yet, every so often the oath is taken amidst gathering clouds and raging storms. At these moments, America has carried on not simply because of the skill or vision of those in high office, but because We the People have remained faithful to the ideals of our forbearers, and true to our founding documents。

奥巴马告别演讲中文版
很高兴回家，回到芝加哥!回家真好!
正如你们所见，我现在是个“跛脚鸭”总统，因为没有人再听从我的指示，正如现场大家每个人都有个座位。

很高兴回到家乡。

我的朋友们，过去几周中我们收到了许多真诚的祝福，我和米歇尔深受感动。

今晚，轮到我来对你们说声感谢。

不论我们站在相同的政治立场上还是从未达成共识，不论我们是在房间还是学校、农场还是工厂车间、餐桌还是野外，我们之间的对话都让我更加诚实、更加奋进，也帮助我深受启发。

每天，我都在向你们学习。

你们帮助我成为一个更称职的总统，也帮助我成为一个更好的人。

我是在二十多岁的时候第一次来芝加哥，当时我仍然处于懵懵懂懂的阶段，仍然在寻求生活的意义。

我开始与一些教会团体在已经关门的钢铁生产厂附近工作，当时那些小区离今天的会场不远。

在那些街道中，我见证了信仰的力量，也在工人斗争中见证了工人阶级无声的尊严。

这个时候，我明白了只有当普通人民团结起来、参与进来并致力于争取权力，社会变革才能发生。

在担任八年的美国总统后，我仍然相信这一条结论。

这不仅仅是我个人的想法，也是根植在美国人心中的核心价值观，即寻求自主管理的大胆实验。

我们每个人相信，我们生来平等，享有造物主 ..........。

奥巴马演讲全文：OBAMA: Thank you. Thank you. Thank you so much.Tonight, more than 200 years after a former colony won the rightto determine its own destiny, the task of perfecting our unionmoves forward.(APPLAUSE)OBAMA: It moves forward because of you. It moves forward because you reaffirmed the spirit that has triumphed over war anddepression, the spirit that has lifted this country from the depthsof despair to the great heights of hope, the belief that while eachof us will pursue our own individual dreams, we are an Americanfamily and we rise or fall together as one nation and as one people.(APPLAUSE)Tonight, in this election, you, the American people, reminded usthat while our road has been hard, while our journey has been long,we have picked ourselves up, we have fought our way back, and weknow in our hearts that for the United States of America the bestis yet to come.(APPLAUSE)OBAMA: I want to thank every American who participated in thiselection... (APPLAUSE)... whether you voted for the very first time or waited in linefor a very long time. (APPLAUSE)By the way, we have to fix that.(APPLAUSE)Whether you pounded the pavement or picked up the phone...(APPLAUSE)... whether you held an Obama sign or a Romney sign, you madeyour voice heard and you made a difference.I just spoke with Governor Romney and I congratulated him andPaul Ryan on a hard-fought campaign.(APPLAUSE)We may have battled fiercely, but it's only because we love thiscountry deeply and we care so strongly about its future. FromGeorge to Lenore to their son Mitt, the Romney family has chosen togive back to America through public service and that is the legacythat we honor and applaud tonight.(APPLAUSE)In the weeks ahead, I also look forward to sitting down withGovernor Romney to talk about where we can work together to movethis country forward.(APPLAUSE)I want to thank my friend and partner of the last four years,America's happy warrior, the best vice president anybody could everhope for, Joe Biden.(APPLAUSE)OBAMA: And I wouldn't be the man I am today without the womanwho agreed to marry me 20 years ago.(APPLAUSE)Let me say this publicly: Michelle, I have never loved you more.I have never been prouder to watch the rest of America fall in lovewith you, too, as our nation's first lady.(APPLAUSE)Sasha and Malia, before our very eyes you're growing up tobecome two strong, smart beautiful young women, just like yourmom.(APPLAUSE)OBAMA: And I'm so proud of you guys. But I will say that for nowone dog's probably enough.(LAUGHTER)To the best campaign team and volunteers in the history ofpolitics... (APPLAUSE)The best. The best ever. Some of you were new this time around,and some of you have been at my side since the very beginning.(APPLAUSE)But all of you are family. No matter what you do or where you gofrom here, you will carry the memory of the history we madetogether and you will have the life-long appreciation of a gratefulpresident. Thank you for believing all the way, through every hill,through every valley.(APPLAUSE)You lifted me up the whole way and I will always be grateful foreverything that you've done and all the incredible work that youput in.(APPLAUSE)I know that political campaigns can sometimes seem small, evensilly. And that provides plenty of fodder for the cynics that tellus that politics is nothing more than a contest of egos or thedomain of special interests. But if you ever get the chance to talkto folks who turned out at our rallies and crowded along a ropeline in a high school gym, or saw folks working late in a campaignoffice in some tiny county far away from home, you'll discoversomething else.OBAMA: You'll hear the determination in the voice of a youngfield organizer who's working his way through college and wants tomake sure every child has that same opportunity.(APPLAUSE)You'll hear the pride in the voice of a volunteer who's goingdoor to door because her brother was finally hired when the localauto plant added another shift. (APPLAUSE)You'll hear the deep patriotism in the voice of a militaryspouse whose working the phones late at night to make sure that noone who fights for this country ever has to fight for a job or aroof over their head when they come home.(APPLAUSE)That's why we do this. That's what politics can be. That's whyelections matter. It's not small, it's big. It's important.Democracy in a nation of 300 million can be noisy and messy andcomplicated. We have our own opinions. Each of us has deeply heldbeliefs.And when we go through tough times, when we make bigdecisions as a country, it necessarily stirs passions, stirs upcontroversy.That won't change after tonight, and it shouldn't. Thesearguments we have are a mark of our liberty. We can never forgetthat as we speak people in distant nations are risking their livesright now just for a chance to argue about the issues that matter,the chance to cast their ballots like we did today.(APPLAUSE)But despite all our differences, most of us share certain hopesfor America's future. We want our kids to grow up in a countrywhere they have access to the best schools and the bestteachers.(APPLAUSE)A country that lives up to its legacy as the global leader intechnology and discovery and innovation, with all the good jobs andnew businesses that follow. OBAMA: We want our children to live in an America that isn'tburdened by debt, that isn't weakened by inequality, that isn'tthreatened by the destructive power of a warming planet.(APPLAUSE)We want to pass on a country that's safe and respected andadmired around the world, a nation that is defended by thestrongest military on earth and the best troops this - this worldhas ever known.(APPLAUSE)But also a country that moves with confidence beyond this timeof war, to shape a peace that is built on the promise of freedomand dignity for every human being. We believe in a generousAmerica, in a compassionate America, in a tolerant America, open tothe dreams of an immigrant's daughter who studies in our schoolsand pledges to our flag.(APPLAUSE)To the young boy on the south side of Chicago who sees a lifebeyond the nearest street corner.(APPLAUSE)To the furniture worker's child in North Carolina who wants tobecome a doctor or a scientist, an engineer or an entrepreneur, adiplomat or even a president - that's the future we hope for.That's the vision we share. That's where we need to go -forward.(APPLAUSE)That's where we need to go.Now, we will disagree, sometimes fiercely, about how to getthere. As it has for more than two centuries, progress will come infits and starts. It's not always a straight line. It's not always asmooth path.By itself, the recognition that we have common hopes and dreamswon't end all the gridlock or solve all our problems or substitutefor the painstaking work of building consensus and making thedifficult compromises needed to move this country forward. But thatcommon bond is where we must begin. Our economy is recovering. Adecade of war is ending. A long campaign is now over.(APPLAUSE)And whether I earned your vote or not, I have listened to you, Ihave learned from you, and you've made me a better president. Andwith your stories and your struggles, I return to the White Housemore determined and more inspired than ever about the work there isto do and the future that lies ahead.(APPLAUSE)Tonight you voted for action, not politics as usual.(APPLAUSE)You elected us to focus on your jobs, not ours. And in thecoming weeks and months, I am looking forward to reaching out andworking with leaders of both parties to meet the challenges we canonly solve together. Reducing our deficit. Reforming our tax code.Fixing our immigration system. Freeing ourselves from foreign oil.We've got more work to do.(APPLAUSE)OBAMA: But that doesn't mean your work is done. The role ofcitizens in our Democracy does not end with your vote. America'snever been about what can be done for us. It's about what can bedone by us together through the hard and frustrating, but necessarywork of self-government. That's the principle we were foundedon. (APPLAUSE)This country has more wealth than any nation, but that's notwhat makes us rich. We have the most powerful military in history,but that's not what makes us strong. Our university, our cultureare all the envy of the world, but that's not what keeps the worldcoming to our shores.What makes America exceptional are the bonds that hold togetherthe most diverse nation on earth.OBAMA: The belief that our destiny is shared; that this countryonly works when we accept certain obligations to one another and tofuture generations. The freedom which so many Americans have foughtfor and died for come with responsibilities as well as rights. Andamong those are love and charity and duty and patriotism. That'swhat makes America great.(APPLAUSE)I am hopeful tonight because I've seen the spirit at work inAmerica. I've seen it in the family business whose owners wouldrather cut their own pay than lay off their neighbors, and in theworkers who would rather cut back their hours than see a friendlose a job.I've seen it in the soldiers who reenlist after losing a limband in those SEALs who charged up the stairs into darkness anddanger because they knew there was a buddy behind them watchingtheir back.(APPLAUSE)I've seen it on the shores of New Jersey and New York, whereleaders from every party and level of government have swept asidetheir differences to help a community rebuild from the wreckage ofa terrible storm.(APPLAUSE)And I saw just the other day, in Mentor, Ohio, where a fathertold the story of his 8-year-old daughter, whose long battle withleukemia nearly cost their family everything had it not been forhealth care reform passing just a few months before the insurancecompany was about to stop paying for her care.(APPLAUSE)I had an opportunity to not just talk to the father, but meetthis incredible daughter of his. And when he spoke to the crowdlistening to that father's story, every parent in that room hadtears in their eyes, because we knew that little girl could be ourown. And I know that every American wants her future to be just asbright. That's who we are. That's the country I'm so proud to leadas your president.(APPLAUSE)OBAMA: And tonight, despite all the hardship we've been through,despite all the frustrations of Washington, I've never been morehopeful about our future. (APPLAUSE)I have never been more hopeful about America. And I ask you tosustain that hope. I'm not talking about blind optimism, the kindof hope that just ignores the enormity of the tasks ahead or theroadblocks that stand in our path. I'm not talking about thewishful idealism that allows us to just sit on the sidelines orshirk from a fight.I have always believed that hope is that stubborn thing insideus that insists, despite all the evidence to the contrary, thatsomething better awaits us so long as we have the courage to keepreaching, to keep working, to keep fighting. (APPLAUSE)America, I believe we can build on the progress we've made andcontinue to fight for new jobs and new opportunity and new securityfor the middle class. I believe we can keep the promise of ourfounders, the idea that if you're willing to work hard, it doesn'tmatter who you are or where you come from or what you look like orwhere you love. It doesn't matter whether you're black or white orHispanic or Asian or Native American or young or old or rich orpoor, able, disabled, gay or straight, you can make it here inAmerica if you're willing to try.(APPLAUSE)I believe we can seize this future together because we are notas divided as our politics suggests. We're not as cynical as thepundits believe. We are greater than the sum of our individualambitions, and we remain more than a collection of red states andblue states. We are and forever will be the United States ofAmerica. (APPLAUSE)And together with your help and God's grace we will continue ourjourney forward and remind the world just why it is that we live inthe greatest nation on Earth. Thank you, America. God bless you. God bless these UnitedStates. (APPLAUSE)谢谢，谢谢，非常感谢。

）My fellow Americans, Michelle and I have been so touched by all the well-wishes we've received over the past few weeks. But tonight it's my turn to say thanks. Whether we've seen eye-to-eye or rarely agreed at all, my conversations with you, the American people -- in living rooms and schools; at farms and on factory floors; at diners and on distant outposts -- are what have kept me honest, kept me inspired, and kept me going. Every day, I learned fromyou. You made me a better President, and you made me a better man.我的美国同胞们，最近几周，米歇尔和我收到了无数令人感动的祝福，今晚轮到我来表达谢意了。

2016白宫记者晚宴演讲中英文English:Ladies and gentlemen, distinguished guests, it is a great honor to stand before you tonight at the White House Correspondents' Dinner. This event brings together journalists, politicians, and celebrities, highlighting the importance of a free press in our democracy. In recent years, we have witnessed the power of journalism in uncovering truth and holding those in power accountable. However, we have also seen challenges to press freedom, both at home and abroad. As we celebrate the work of journalists tonight, we must also acknowledge the threats they face and reaffirm our commitment to defending the freedom of the press.中文翻译:女士们、先生们，尊贵的客人们，今晚站在白宫记者晚宴的舞台上是我莫大的荣幸。

这个活动汇聚了记者、政客和名人，突显了新闻自由在我们的民主中的重要性。

近年来，我们见证了新闻界揭露真相、追责权力的力量。

然而，我们也看到新闻自由在国内外面临挑战。

在我们今晚庆祝记者的工作时，我们必须认识到他们所面临的威胁，并重申我们捍卫新闻自由的承诺。
