美国总统奥巴马在联合国大会(the United Nations General Assembly)发表的讲话

于欣佳奥巴马的困境———美国在世界气候变化问题面前的选择 [内容提要]　在哥本哈根举行的联合国气候变化大会在一片争议声中闭幕了。

美国新任总统奥巴马在会上高调提出建设一个新的机制取代美国长期不愿加入的《京都议定书》等建议。

本文以“女王困境”类比,借助博弈工具分析奥巴马在世界气候变化问题上的战略选择,指出此战略的实质是“强化规则,弱化行动”的模糊战略。

在加入有约束性的国际气候变化机制的问题上,美国将长期以“未加入”的身份处于“加入”的状态中,实现在不影响国内利益的前提下收获国际声望的最优战略结果。

而且鉴于分析前提的相对稳定性,这种战略选择很有可能成为美国的长期战略,而非这一届美国政府的个别态度。

由于亲眼目睹自己的父亲亨利八世如何将前后几位王后打入大牢或干脆处斩,女王不愿冒险失去权力;另一方面,如果她公开宣布不打算结婚,贵族会以她没有继承人为由煽动叛乱,同样威胁女王的统治。

面对这种两难困境,1558年继位的伊丽莎白女王,大约在1565年前后就打定主意终身不婚,但是直到1577年,她都一直在高调地进行婚姻谈判。

这种战略为女王近半个世纪的统治成功解除了后顾之忧。

世界经济与政治论坛・2010年第2期几乎难以承受的负担。

面对人类活动造成的全球气候变化问题,国际社会开展了一系列协调合作试图力挽狂澜。

在这些协调过程中,作为世界最大经济实体的美国被推上了风口浪尖,聚焦了全世界目光的时任美国总统奥巴马似乎遇到了当年伊丽莎白女王的困境。

US President Barack Obama was one of 147 world leaders to address delegates in Paris on 30 November at the opening of the United Nation Conference on Climate Change (COP21). The United States is the world's second-largest emitter of greenhouse gases after China. Negotiations on the next global agreement on tackling climate change officially started on Monday, with talks presumed to go on until at least 11 December.Read the full text of Obama's speech below:President Hollande, Mr. Secretary General, fellow leaders. We have come to Paris to show our resolve.We offer our condolences to the people of France for the barbaric attacks on this beautiful city. We stand united in solidarity not only to deliver justice to the terrorist network responsible for those attacks but to protect our people and uphold the enduring values that keep us strong and keep us free. And we salute the people of Paris for insisting this crucial conference go on -- an act of defiance that proves nothing will deter us from building the future we want for our children. What greater rejection of those who would tear down our world than marshaling our best efforts to save it?Nearly 200 nations have assembled here this week -- a declaration that for all the challenges we face, the growing threat of climate change could define the contours of this century more dramatically than any other. What should give us hope that this is a turning point, that this is the moment we finally determined we would save our planet, is the fact that our nations share a sense of urgency about this challenge and a growing realization that it is within our power to do something about it.Our understanding of the ways human beings disrupt the climate advances by the day. Fourteen of the fifteen warmest years on record have occurred since the year 2000 -- and 2015 is on pace to be the warmest year of all. No nation -- large or small, wealthy or poor -- is immune to what this means.This summer, I saw the effects of climate change firsthand in our northernmost state, Alaska, where the sea is already swallowing villages and eroding shorelines; where permafrost thaws and the tundra burns; where glaciers are melting at a pace unprecedented in modern times. And it was a preview of one possible future -- a glimpse of our children's fate if the climate keeps changing faster than our efforts to address it. Submerged countries. Abandoned cities. Fields that no longer grow. Political disruptions that trigger new conflict, and even more floods of desperate peoples seeking the sanctuary of nations not their own.That future is not one of strong economies, nor is it one where fragile states can find their footing. That future is one that we have the power to change. Right here. Right now. But only if we rise to this moment. As one of America's governors has said, "We are the first generation to feel the impact of climate change, and the last generation that can do something about it."I've come here personally, as the leader of the world's largest economy and the second-largest emitter, to say that the United States of America not only recognizes our role in creating this problem, we embrace our responsibility to do something about it.Over the last seven years, we've made ambitious investments in clean energy, and ambitious reductions in our carbon emissions. We've multiplied wind power threefold, and solar power more than twentyfold, helping create parts of America where these clean power sources arefinally cheaper than dirtier, conventional power. We've invested in energy efficiency in every way imaginable. We've said no to infrastructure that would pull high-carbon fossil fuels from the ground, and we've said yes to the first-ever set of national standards limiting the amount of carbon pollution our power plants can release into the sky.The advances we've made have helped drive our economic output to all-time highs, and drive our carbon pollution to its lowest levels in nearly two decades.But the good news is this is not an American trend alone. Last year, the global economy grew while global carbon emissions from burning fossil fuels stayed flat. And what this means can't be overstated. We have broken the old arguments for inaction. We have proved that strong economic growth and a safer environment no longer have to conflict with one another; they can work in concert with one another.And that should give us hope. One of the enemies that we'll be fighting at this conference is cynicism, the notion we can't do anything about climate change. Our progress should give us hope during these two weeks -- hope that is rooted in collective action.Earlier this month in Dubai, after years of delay, the world agreed to work together to cut the super-pollutants known as HFCs. That's progress. Already, prior to Paris, more than 180 countries representing nearly 95 percent of global emissions have put forward their own climate targets. That is progress. For our part, America is on track to reach the emissions targets that I set six years ago in Copenhagen -- we will reduce our carbon emissions in the range of 17 percent below 2005 levels by 2020. And that's why, last year, I set a new target: America will reduce our emissions 26 to 28 percent below 2005 levels within 10 years from now.So our task here in Paris is to turn these achievements into an enduring framework for human progress -- not a stopgap solution, but a long-term strategy that gives the world confidence in a low-carbon future.Here, in Paris, let's secure an agreement that builds in ambition, where progress paves the way for regularly updated targets -- targets that are not set for each of us but by each of us, taking into account the differences that each nation is facing.Here in Paris, let's agree to a strong system of transparency that gives each of us the confidence that all of us are meeting our commitments. And let's make sure that the countries who don't yet have the full capacity to report on their targets receive the support that they need.Here in Paris, let's reaffirm our commitment that resources will be there for countries willing to do their part to skip the dirty phase of development. And I recognize this will not be easy. It will take a commitment to innovation and the capital to continue driving down the cost of clean energy. And that's why, this afternoon, I'll join many of you to announce an historic joint effort to accelerate public and private clean energy innovation on a global scale.Here in Paris, let's also make sure that these resources flow to the countries that need help preparing for the impacts of climate change that we can no longer avoid. We know the truth that many nations have contributed little to climate change but will be the first to feel its most destructive effects. For some, particularly island nations -- whose leaders I'll meet with tomorrow -- climate change is a threat to their very existence. And that's why today, in concert with other nations, America confirms our strong and ongoing commitment to the Least Developed Countries Fund. And tomorrow, we'll pledge new contributions to risk insurance initiatives that helpvulnerable populations rebuild stronger after climate-related disasters.And finally, here in Paris, let's show businesses and investors that the global economy is on a firm path towards a low-carbon future. If we put the right rules and incentives in place, we'll unleash the creative power of our best scientists and engineers and entrepreneurs to deploy clean energy technologies and the new jobs and new opportunities that they create all around the world. There are hundreds of billions of dollars ready to deploy to countries around the world if they get the signal that we mean business this time. Let's send that signal.That's what we seek in these next two weeks. Not simply an agreement to roll back the pollution we put into our skies, but an agreement that helps us lift people from poverty without condemning the next generation to a planet that's beyond its capacity to repair. Here, in Paris, we can show the world what is possible when we come together, united in common effort and by a common purpose.And let there be no doubt, the next generation is watching what we do. Just over a week ago, I was in Malaysia, where I held a town hall with young people, and the first question I received was from a young Indonesian woman. And it wasn't about terrorism, it wasn't about the economy, it wasn't about human rights. It was about climate change. And she asked whether I was optimistic about what we can achieve here in Paris, and what young people like her could do to help.I want our actions to show her that we're listening. I want our actions to be big enough to draw on the talents of all our people -- men and women, rich and poor -- I want to show her passionate, idealistic young generation that we care about their future.For I believe, in the words of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., that there is such a thing as being too late. And when it comes to climate change, that hour is almost upon us. But if we act here, if we act now, if we place our own short-term interests behind the air that our young people will breathe, and the food that they will eat, and the water that they will drink, and the hopes and dreams that sustain their lives, then we won't be too late for them.And, my fellow leaders, accepting this challenge will not reward us with moments of victory that are clear or quick. Our progress will be measured differently -- in the suffering that is averted, and a planet that's preserved. And that's what's always made this so hard. Our generation may not even live to see the full realization of what we do here. But the knowledge that the next generation will be better off for what we do here -- can we imagine a more worthy reward than that? Passing that on to our children and our grandchildren, so that when they look back and they see what we did here in Paris, they can take pride in our achievement.Let that be the common purpose here in Paris. A world that is worthy of our children. A world that is marked not by conflict, but by cooperation; and not by human suffering, but by human progress. A world that's safer, and more prosperous, and more secure, and more free than the one that we inherited.Let's get to work. Thank you very much.。

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.)。

2009年9月3日，在第64届联合国大会开始一般性辩论之际，美国总统奥巴马出席会议并发表讲话。

以下是讲话全文：Remarks by the U.S. President to the United Nations General AssemblyUnited Nations Headquarters September 23, 2009美国总统奥巴马在联合国大会上的讲话联合国总部2009年9月23日Good morning. Mr. President, Mr. Secretary General, fellow delegates, ladies and gentlemen, it is my honor to address you for the first time as the 44th President of the United States. (Applause.) I come before you humbled by the responsibility that the American people have placed upon me, mindful of the enormous challenges of our moment in history, and determined to act boldly and collectively on behalf of justice and prosperity at home and abroad.早上好。

主席先生、秘书长先生、各位代表，女士们、先生们：我荣幸地作为美国第44任总统首次在这里发表讲话。

（掌声）站在各位面前，美国人民赋予我的重任令我不胜荣幸；我深知我们这个历史时期所面临的巨大挑战；并决意为了国内外的正义和繁荣而采取大胆的集体行动。

I have been in office for just nine months -- though some days it seems a lot longer. I am well aware of the expectations that accompany my presidency around the world. These expectations are not about me. Rather, they are rooted, I believe, in a discontent with a status quo that has allowed us to be increasingly defined by our differences, and outpaced by our problems. But they are also rooted in hope -- the hope that real change is possible, and the hope that America will be a leader in bringing about such change.我就任总统只有9个月——但在有些日子里这段时间却显得漫长。

For 220 years, our leaders have fulfilled this duty. They've done so during periods of prosperity and tranquility. And they've done so in the midst of war and depression; at moments of great strife and great struggle.我国宪法宣布，总统应当不时地向国会提供有关国情的信息。

220年来，我们的领导人一直履行这一职责。

超级演说家：Yes I can当你在追求梦想的过程中徘徊不定时，就把眼前的事做好吧，谁也不知道明天会发生什么，但只有行动才能决定下一刻你们的未来，Yes，we can。

以下店铺整理的超级演说家：Yes I can，供大家参考，希望大家能够有所收获!Yes，we can。

这是美国总统奥巴马在竞选时的一段演讲，他说“Yes，we can。

”今天在《超级演说家》的舞台上我也想告诉大家，Yes，I can。

是的，我能。

我今年十一岁了，五岁时候我就坚定了一个梦想，一定要做未来的领袖，虽然现在的我只是一个十一岁的小孩，但是我一直为了这个梦想努力奋斗着。

四岁时我说我要两年内说一口流利的英文，没有人相信我，包括我那连二十六个英文字母都不太会的父母，但是我说Yes，I can。

两年后我不仅说着一口流利的英文，还在嘉峪关长城上为来自世界各地的游客做翻译、导游，而且一直坚持到了现在，在这期间，我帮助了两万多名外国游客。

有一次我来到北京旅行，当我回到宾馆时，我见到了一位精神矍铄的外国老人，当老人问我你的梦想是什么时，我说我想成为一名像领袖一样伟大的人，本以为他也会像别人一样说我的想法幼稚，可是他说“我相信你可以，因为一个拥有梦想并为之坚持不懈的人，是值得令人尊敬的。

”一直到现在，我都忘不了他，是因为他是给我肯定的第一个人。

后来我才知道他就是好莱坞蒙纳瑞克斯电影公司的总裁克里斯蒂·里比先生，是一名著名的导演。

爱和梦想，是生命中最好的养料，即使是一捧清泉也能让生命之树茁壮成长，父母的爱就是我成长中最好的养料。

2008年，家里欠了200万的外债，在那个冬天我们是靠着一百多斤白菜、一百多斤土豆来维持生活，但即使是这样，他们用省下来的钱为我买书，我真的感谢我的父母，如果不是他们坚定地支持我的梦想，相信我就没有我现在的一切。

我同样要感谢里比先生和所有肯定我的人，是你们让我坚定着我自己的梦想，当你在追求梦想的过程中徘徊不定时，就把眼前的事做好吧，谁也不知道明天会发生什么，但只有行动才能决定下一刻你们的未来，Yes，we can。

Good morning. I want to thank the Secretary General for organizing this summit, and all the leaders who are participating. That so many of us are here today is a recognition that the threat from climate change is serious, it is urgent, and it is growing. Our generation's response to this challenge will be judged by history, for if we fail to meet it -- boldly, swiftly, and together -- we risk consigning future generations to an irreversible catastrophe.多谢诸位。

早上好。

我对组织这次首脑会议的联合国秘书长以及在座的各位领导人表示感谢。

今天有如此众多的代表到会，这表明人们认识到气候变化构成的威胁有多么严重，认识到威胁迫在眉睫，也认识到威胁正日益增长。

Remarks by President Obama at the Morning Plenary Sessionof the United Nations Climate Change ConferenceBella Center, Copenhagen, DenmarkDecember 18, 2009奥巴马总统在联合国气候变化大会当天上午的全体会议上发表讲话贝拉中心，丹麦，哥本哈根Good morning. It is an honor for me to join this distinguished group of leaders from nations around the world. We come here in Copenhagen because climate change poses a grave and growing danger to our people. All of you would not be here unless you —like me —were convinced that this danger is real. This is not fiction, it is science. Unchecked, climate change will pose unacceptable risks to our security, our economies, and our planet. This much we know.早上好。

十分荣幸能与世界各国尊贵的领导人汇聚一堂。

我们来到哥本哈根，是因为气候变化对各国人民构成的严重威胁与日俱增。

诸位如果不相信这一危险确实存在，你们──同我一样──都不会来到这里。

这不是凭空虚构，这是科学。

如果不加以制止，气候变化就将对我们的安全、我们的经济和我们的地球构成不可接受的危险。

对此我们都了然于胸。

The question, then, before us is no longer the nature of the challenge -- the question is our capacity to meet it. For while the reality of climate change is not in doubt, I have to be honest, as the world watches us today, I think our ability to take collective action is in doubt right now, and it hangs in the balance.因此，我们面临的问题不再是这一挑战的性质，而是我们应对这一挑战的能力。
